:00:10. > :00:17.Hello, I am Christian Fraser. This is Outside Source. World leaders
:00:18. > :00:24.meet in London to discuss Syria and raise over $10 billion in aid.
:00:25. > :00:28.The crucial point about today is the money raised will save lives, will
:00:29. > :00:33.give hope, will give people the chance of a future. The United
:00:34. > :00:38.Nations has ruled that Julian Assange is being detained
:00:39. > :00:42.arbitrarily. British police want to extradite him to Sweden. He has been
:00:43. > :00:46.hiding out in the Ecuadorian Embassy in London for more than three years.
:00:47. > :00:52.Former Friends start Matt LeBlanc has been named as co-presenter of
:00:53. > :01:00.global TV programme, Top Gear. And we have a report from Sweden's old
:01:01. > :01:01.cold war base which has been modernised to withstand the
:01:02. > :01:18.perceived threat of Russia. Good evening. Turkey already plays
:01:19. > :01:22.host to the largest number of Syrian refugees and the situation is about
:01:23. > :01:26.to get worse, with tens of thousands more heading to its border. They are
:01:27. > :01:31.trying to escape fighting around Aleppo in the north of the country.
:01:32. > :01:37.We told you yesterday that the Syrian army was mounting a fairly
:01:38. > :01:41.big offensive in the North, bringing an end -- bringing to an end a
:01:42. > :01:47.three-year siege. That is backed by intensive Russian air raids.
:01:48. > :01:49.Thousands of miles away in the safety of London, a fund raising
:01:50. > :01:56.conferences taking place to raise money for those affected by the war.
:01:57. > :01:59.Playing host, British Prime Minister David Cameron.
:02:00. > :02:04.I would like to thank everybody who has come and been so generous with
:02:05. > :02:08.their time and resources to help this desperate situation. We have
:02:09. > :02:11.combined a renewed effort to address the shortfall in Umana Terry and
:02:12. > :02:16.funding, with a new approach to provide the education that will
:02:17. > :02:23.bolster stability in the region. All of this is vital work. Vital for
:02:24. > :02:28.those suffering inside Syria. Vital for the refugees. Vital for the
:02:29. > :02:32.countries in the region doing so much. And taken together, what we
:02:33. > :02:37.are delivering today can play a crucial role in preventing refugees
:02:38. > :02:41.from feeling they need to risk their lives on the treacherous journey to
:02:42. > :02:46.Europe. The Prime Minister speaking area.
:02:47. > :02:55.This is the figure the EU has placed. $3.3 billion. Germany has
:02:56. > :03:04.pledged $2.6 billion. The UK, $1.7 billion extra. And from the United
:03:05. > :03:12.States, $925 million. All told, with other donations, the pot has swelled
:03:13. > :03:14.to more than ten billion dollars. Ben Brown has been telling me more
:03:15. > :03:16.about how the money will be spent. Interesting that when you think
:03:17. > :03:20.that they were actually being asked for $9 billion and that seemed
:03:21. > :03:23.a pretty stunning amount of money by itself but they have come up
:03:24. > :03:26.with more than that and dug deeper About half is going to be
:03:27. > :03:36.immediately used this year. The other half is over the next few
:03:37. > :03:39.years, up to 2020. The emphasis at this conference,
:03:40. > :03:45.the fourth in a long line of these donor conferences on the Syrian
:03:46. > :03:48.emergency, the emphasis has been about long-term aid,
:03:49. > :03:51.helping those refugees, about four and a half million
:03:52. > :03:54.of them, who have fled from Syria And helping them, because this war
:03:55. > :04:01.isn't going to end any time soon, helping them get jobs,
:04:02. > :04:04.which is why a lot of them come to Europe, because they say
:04:05. > :04:07.they can't work in They're not getting jobs,
:04:08. > :04:11.they're not getting work permits. The donors here want to try and stop
:04:12. > :04:17.that buying Courage England to get jobs in the region where they are,
:04:18. > :04:20.in the Middle East, and also to offer school places
:04:21. > :04:34.for their children. -- by encouraging them. What they
:04:35. > :04:37.have come up with according to David Cameron was a million jobs for
:04:38. > :04:45.refugees and residents in these countries. And also a million school
:04:46. > :04:46.places for the children are refugees, who are currently not
:04:47. > :04:49.being educated. Real change and an awful
:04:50. > :04:51.of money promised. We have to make sure that the money
:04:52. > :04:55.that has been promised is delivered. In the last couple of years only
:04:56. > :04:58.about 50% of what has been asked I was going to ask you about that
:04:59. > :05:03.because I remember when I was in Egypt and are used to go to these
:05:04. > :05:05.conferences for Gaza, a lot of the money that is there
:05:06. > :05:08.in the headlines never materialises. Having said that, I think
:05:09. > :05:12.there is a new determination and you sense that talking
:05:13. > :05:14.to the delegates here, a new determination and it's really
:05:15. > :05:17.self-interested you like, especially on the part
:05:18. > :05:20.of the European nations like Britain for example, because of the migrant
:05:21. > :05:25.crisis over the past few months, the stunning number of people
:05:26. > :05:28.who have been risking their lives to make that perilous boat journey
:05:29. > :05:33.from Turkey across the water into Greece and up into Europe,
:05:34. > :05:36.because they want to try and stop that or reduce that as far
:05:37. > :05:39.as possible, they know that they have to put more money
:05:40. > :05:45.into countries like Jordan and Lebanon and Turkey to make life
:05:46. > :05:47.more bearable for the refugees, the four and a half million refugees
:05:48. > :05:59.who are in those countries. Ben Brown at the conference centre.
:06:00. > :06:05.Let's take a look little deeper into how badly that money is needed.
:06:06. > :06:11.There are 4.6 million Syrians that have fled the country so. Most of
:06:12. > :06:14.them, as you can see, have stayed in neighbouring countries. Turkey
:06:15. > :06:21.taking the bulk of them, but Jordan and Lebanon taking big numbers. In
:06:22. > :06:28.Lebanon the population has grown by 25% since the war began. Clive Myrie
:06:29. > :06:29.has been down here to the back our valley. It is on the border with
:06:30. > :06:33.Syria. Earlier he sent this report. They have had a rough ride
:06:34. > :06:38.in life, these children. Victims of a war they are too
:06:39. > :06:41.young to understand. In this refugee camp
:06:42. > :06:44.in Lebanon's Bekaa Valley, they are being given
:06:45. > :06:46.back their childhoods, Meet Muhammad, who is 13,
:06:47. > :06:52.and his brother Mustafa, They attend school five days a week,
:06:53. > :06:59.like the 270 other youngsters But when school is out,
:07:00. > :07:05.they and some of the other kids They work in the brick factory
:07:06. > :07:12.that borders their home. Hard, but necessary
:07:13. > :07:27.work for this family. "We work to help our father,"
:07:28. > :07:36.Mustafa says, "because our little brother is sick.
:07:37. > :07:41.He has cancer." Then they recall the day
:07:42. > :07:45.they left their home "Around sunset, when it
:07:46. > :07:50.started getting dark, The next day we came
:07:51. > :07:55.here to Lebanon. As they toiled and heaved bricks,
:07:56. > :08:04.in London, delegates at the conference for Syria,
:08:05. > :08:08.raised more money to pay for the education of refugee
:08:09. > :08:11.children and create well paying job Over lunch, Mustafa and Mohammed
:08:12. > :08:29.admit life is hard. These children are mature way beyond
:08:30. > :08:36.their years. They have had to grow up fast. Then there are little
:08:37. > :08:45.brother appears. His cancer treatment and ongoing cause of
:08:46. > :08:54.anguish for everyone. Our life here is difficult, says Mustafi. In Syria
:08:55. > :08:55.we had everything. Millions of his countrymen now have nothing.
:08:56. > :09:11.Plenty more on the BBC website if you want to look at the Syria story.
:09:12. > :09:21.And also, if you have any questions and comments on what we are showing
:09:22. > :09:25.you, do get in touch. The BBC understands that a UN panel
:09:26. > :09:29.will report tomorrow that Julian Assange is being arbitrarily
:09:30. > :09:35.detained in the Ecuador Embassy in London. He has been there since 2012
:09:36. > :09:40.to avoid extradition to Sweden over a rape allegation that he denies. He
:09:41. > :09:45.submitted this document to the UN panel stating his case.
:09:46. > :09:50.Consideration of the facts, the panel now seems to have found in his
:09:51. > :09:53.favour. But it is controversial. Some think the panel has got it
:09:54. > :09:59.wrong, like the journalist, Toby Young.
:10:00. > :10:04.Well, it would be morally binding if it made sense. But Julian Assange
:10:05. > :10:09.has not been detained. He went to the Ecuadorian Embassy of his own
:10:10. > :10:14.volition to seek asylum, which he has now been granted. He is not
:10:15. > :10:19.being detained by the British authorities. If anything, he is
:10:20. > :10:24.detaining himself. If what you mean is, is he under a moral obligation
:10:25. > :10:29.to stop detaining himself, I suppose you are right.
:10:30. > :10:34.It is not clear what that means. Others do not agree. Here is one of
:10:35. > :10:38.them, Mr Assange's close adviser talking to us earlier.
:10:39. > :10:47.Britain has supported this court, it is a tribunal in fact, as has
:10:48. > :10:56.Sweden, who declared eye unfairly detained. It made submissions to the
:10:57. > :11:02.court. You had that adversarial thing. If Britain is lost after
:11:03. > :11:10.entering into the dispute, then Britain has an obligation, as does
:11:11. > :11:15.Sweden, to obey it. WikiLeaks say they are waiting on
:11:16. > :11:20.the official verdict before they comment. But WikiLeaks did put out
:11:21. > :11:28.this tweet in which Mr Assange said he would accept arrest by British
:11:29. > :11:32.police if the UN rules against him. He also said he expects the
:11:33. > :11:35.immediate return of his passport and the termination of further attempts
:11:36. > :11:44.to arrest him if it rules in his favour. Earlier I spoke to Sarah
:11:45. > :11:48.Campbell outside the embassy. There are news crews from various
:11:49. > :11:53.organisations waiting for any movements from the embassy.
:11:54. > :11:58.Certainly nothing from inside. This is where Julian Assange has been for
:11:59. > :12:02.the last almost four years, since June 2012, when he was facing
:12:03. > :12:09.accusations of sexual assault from two women in Sweden. He moved into
:12:10. > :12:13.the Ecuadorian Embassy and ever since then he has understood that
:12:14. > :12:17.because of this European arrest warrant, were he to leave the
:12:18. > :12:22.embassy, he would be immediately arrested and extradited back to
:12:23. > :12:26.Sweden. That is why he went to the UN working group back in 2014,
:12:27. > :12:30.arguing that he felt he was being arbitrarily detained. As we now
:12:31. > :12:39.know, this UN panel has agreed with him. Obviously giving his campaign
:12:40. > :12:46.moral support. But is it any more than that? Well, legally this
:12:47. > :12:50.judgment will not be enforceable. Statements from Sweden and the UK
:12:51. > :12:54.back that up. The Swedish prosecutors say this will make no
:12:55. > :13:01.formal impact on their prosecution. A statement from the foreign office,
:13:02. > :13:05.backed up by Downing Street, says that we have been consistently clear
:13:06. > :13:08.that Mr Assange has not been detained in the UK but has been
:13:09. > :13:12.voluntarily avoiding lawful detention by choosing to remain in
:13:13. > :13:15.the Ecuadorian Embassy. Pointing out that an allegation of rape is still
:13:16. > :13:20.outstanding and a European Arrest Warrant is in place. The UK has a
:13:21. > :13:23.legal obligation to extradite him to Sweden. That tweet where he said
:13:24. > :13:28.that he would expect them if this panel ruled in his favour, to give
:13:29. > :13:34.him back his passport and allow him to leave, looks extremely unlikely.
:13:35. > :13:38.Sarah Campbell. We will look at the reasoning behind this decision when
:13:39. > :13:42.the report is tomorrow. There has been a heavy police presence on the
:13:43. > :13:48.streets of Cologne as the city's annual carnival gets under way. More
:13:49. > :13:51.than 2000 police officers are on patrol in the first major event
:13:52. > :13:54.since New Year when many women were victims of sexual assault and
:13:55. > :13:55.muggings, a majority of them blamed on migrants.
:13:56. > :13:58.Anna Holligan is there. Today is known as ladies' night,
:13:59. > :14:01.traditionally one of the most But there is something in the back
:14:02. > :14:07.of everyone's minds this year, Carnival this year is being seen
:14:08. > :14:17.as a big test of the authorities. TRANSLATION: This is probably
:14:18. > :14:22.the safest Carnival there There is zero tolerance this year
:14:23. > :14:25.for anybody who wants After those attacks at New Year
:14:26. > :14:30.dozens of people of North African and Arab origin were arrested,
:14:31. > :14:33.and it has led to some tension And something that we are hearing
:14:34. > :14:43.from a lot of women is that they are slightly
:14:44. > :14:46.anxious this year, They are determined to celebrate
:14:47. > :14:53.this massive cultural event. Today it is rainy,
:14:54. > :14:58.it is not too nice. It is one big party, it doesn't
:14:59. > :15:06.matter where you are from, brown, white, yellow,
:15:07. > :15:10.red, no problem. This is a crazy time and it's not
:15:11. > :15:13.normal and we don't do So I think they know
:15:14. > :15:40.what is happening here. More in a moment on the race for the
:15:41. > :15:44.Democratic nomination in the US per day and -- presidential race.
:15:45. > :15:47.Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders have been sparring over which of
:15:48. > :15:55.them is the true progressive candidate.
:15:56. > :16:02.Sad to report that a sperm whale that washed up on the beach in North
:16:03. > :16:05.Norfolk has died. Rescuers in and stand and could not return it to the
:16:06. > :16:12.sea. They tried to make it as comfortable as possible. Stephen
:16:13. > :16:18.Marsh from the rescue group said it was unlikely the Animal would
:16:19. > :16:24.survive in such conditions. Unfortunately when sperm whales do
:16:25. > :16:28.get stranded there are very unlikely to survive. We felt it would die
:16:29. > :16:34.tonight. It had not died during the day. I think that today the water
:16:35. > :16:39.came in. They did not lifted. It did not float away. In a way we are
:16:40. > :16:45.thankful that it has now been put out of its misery by an actual
:16:46. > :16:47.death. This is the 29th sperm whale that has died in recent weeks in our
:16:48. > :17:07.area of Europe. This is Outside Source. The
:17:08. > :17:12.international donor conference in London has raised over -- placed
:17:13. > :17:17.over $10 billion to help people displaced by the war in Syria. Here
:17:18. > :17:19.are some of the stories that our colleagues at BBC World Service are
:17:20. > :17:25.reporting. Police have carried out raids in Berlin and other parts of
:17:26. > :17:29.Germany because of a suspicion that Islamic State is planning to carry
:17:30. > :17:33.out an attack in the country. BBC Brasil says the president is calling
:17:34. > :17:47.on people to work together in a day of action to eliminate the mosquito
:17:48. > :17:50.responsible for the Zika virus. Thousands of you are reading about
:17:51. > :17:56.the sperm whale stranded on a beach in north-east England, on our
:17:57. > :18:02.website. We haven't told the last hours that the whale has simply
:18:03. > :18:11.died. Does anybody remember the former
:18:12. > :18:20.head of Turin pharmaceuticals? He raised the price of a life-saving
:18:21. > :18:21.AIDS drug by 5000%. Yes, 5000%. Now he is being investigated by US
:18:22. > :18:30.Congress. This is how that went today. Do you
:18:31. > :18:35.think you have done anything wrong? On the advice of counsel I invoke my
:18:36. > :18:40.fifth Amendment privilege against self discrimination and respectfully
:18:41. > :18:46.declined to answer your question. He pleaded the fifth. Then said it was
:18:47. > :18:50.hard to accept that these imbecile to represent the people in our
:18:51. > :18:53.government. I would imagine he is not very popular. Our correspondent
:18:54. > :19:00.is in New York. Izzy Public enemy number one? He has been called the
:19:01. > :19:06.most hated man in America before. Even though people plead the fifth
:19:07. > :19:12.at these kind of hearings, I think it was the way he had that smug look
:19:13. > :19:18.on his face, loving -- laughing at Congress, calling them imbecile is,
:19:19. > :19:23.twirling his pencil. It gave a sense of the colourful character and his
:19:24. > :19:29.attitude and his disregard for the institution and lawmakers. He has
:19:30. > :19:35.been very active on social media. He is a former pharmaceutical CEO who
:19:36. > :19:40.has been in the spotlight for raising drug prices. He has welcomed
:19:41. > :19:43.and in the crave the love of the media attention. That is why it is
:19:44. > :19:47.interesting to see the reaction of people on social media, either
:19:48. > :19:54.laughing along with him are sticking to that hating him line. He is
:19:55. > :20:00.totally unapologetic about doing this. He has done it with another
:20:01. > :20:04.drug, a parasitic drug? Yes, he said through his lawyer that he would
:20:05. > :20:09.have wanted to answer questions. He said the claims by lawmakers are
:20:10. > :20:13.false and that is part -- that it is part of the industry to make profit.
:20:14. > :20:20.He is completely unapologetic. When you look at the life-saving drug and
:20:21. > :20:25.the fact he rose it by 5000%, he had gone back and forth over whether the
:20:26. > :20:29.company would start offering it for free or whether he would cut back on
:20:30. > :20:38.price. Again, very unapologetic over what he says is the right of
:20:39. > :20:42.industry and businessmen. Thank you. ! Turn to Auckland in New Zealand
:20:43. > :20:47.were today they signed one of the biggest global trade deals in over
:20:48. > :20:58.20 years. The US transatlantic partnership includes the US, Japan,
:20:59. > :21:03.Malaysia, Singapore, Brunei, New Zealand, Mexico and Peru. But it
:21:04. > :21:06.does not include the world's second largest economy, China. Those in
:21:07. > :21:09.favour of the deal say it would free up trade and investment between 12
:21:10. > :21:18.countries. Not everyone approves. Take a look.
:21:19. > :21:22.There have been these protests. Those worried about their jobs and
:21:23. > :21:26.the power it gives to some of the world's big corporations. But
:21:27. > :21:29.getting back to the deal itself, there is plenty to look forward to.
:21:30. > :22:37.Here is an explainer of who might benefit.
:22:38. > :22:44.There are some in favour of it. Sweden has expressed concerns over
:22:45. > :22:50.Russian military action in Ukraine. It has re-militarised and old Cold
:22:51. > :22:55.War base in the Baltic Sea to combat this perceived threat from Moscow.
:22:56. > :22:59.Paul Adams has travelled to the island of Scotland where he has been
:23:00. > :23:02.speaking to senior Swedish commanders.
:23:03. > :23:07.Sweden is spooked by Russia, jets entering its airspace, a suspected
:23:08. > :23:11.submarine close to Stockholm. Russian actions in Ukraine. The
:23:12. > :23:17.military is looking once more at a remote spot in the middle of the
:23:18. > :23:24.Baltic Sea. Welcome to Scotland. -- Gotland. It is a former Cold War
:23:25. > :23:28.stronghold. It has been a long time since the Swedish military paid any
:23:29. > :23:33.attention to this place. But last year the Government said it would be
:23:34. > :23:37.sending troops back to Gotland. An active service unit will eventually
:23:38. > :23:40.be based here on the island. It is not very many but it is a way of
:23:41. > :23:47.saying to Russia that Sweden will not leave this place undefended.
:23:48. > :23:51.Meet Sweden's top general. He spends a good deal of his time wondering
:23:52. > :24:01.what the Russians are up to. It is too much to say that we understand
:24:02. > :24:05.it. We understand or did we know before it happened, the annexation
:24:06. > :24:06.of Crimea? Did we know they were close to starting something in
:24:07. > :24:11.eastern Ukraine? When it happens, it eastern Ukraine? When it happens, it
:24:12. > :24:16.is obvious. But it is too much to say that we know what the next step
:24:17. > :24:23.will be. This is one of the greatest challenges. What are they up to? For
:24:24. > :24:27.decades this was the home of the Swedish military in Gotland. At the
:24:28. > :24:31.height of the Cold War there were as many as 15 to 20,000 military
:24:32. > :24:35.personnel on the island at any time. Now this is pretty much all
:24:36. > :24:41.government offices. But a new chapter in Gotland's history is
:24:42. > :24:46.about to begin. It is almost if you can say a dream come true. This
:24:47. > :24:53.Lieutenant Colonel is back from civilian life to take charge of the
