:00:08. > :00:09.Hello, I'm Ros Atkins, this is Outside Source.

:00:10. > :00:14.We're going to start on the Turkey-Syria border.

:00:15. > :00:16.Tens of thousands of Syrian refugees are there -

:00:17. > :00:18.they're fleeing escalating violence in Aleppo -

:00:19. > :00:32.of a state policy of extermination against thousands of detainees.

:00:33. > :00:35.Three days after a deadly earthquake in Taiwan,

:00:36. > :00:42.people are still being pulled from the rubble alive.

:00:43. > :00:45.This is the moment a leopard got inside a school in Bangalore.

:00:46. > :00:53.It took almost 10 hours to subdue the animal.

:00:54. > :00:59.It attacked a number of people. We will show you this CCTV footage.

:01:00. > :01:01.Plus, police in the UK are considering training birds

:01:02. > :01:07.of prey to intercept drones being used in criminal activity.

:01:08. > :01:11.Place from London are sending someone over to find out how it is

:01:12. > :01:23.done. -- police. Let's start with this

:01:24. > :01:37.tweet from last Thursday. There is considerable violence in

:01:38. > :01:58.Aleppo. That's Aleppo there and today

:01:59. > :02:00.the Turkish Prime Minister said around 30,000 Syrians

:02:01. > :02:03.are already at the border region Here's a close-up of that region -

:02:04. > :02:07.there's a breakdown of how Here's what they're

:02:08. > :02:15.all fleeing from. These are the latest pictures

:02:16. > :02:17.we have from inside Aleppo. President Assad's forces are close

:02:18. > :02:19.to completely encircling the city and they're being backed

:02:20. > :02:30.by Russian air strikes. On the border you can see here,

:02:31. > :02:33.two Turkish aid workers have been setting up tents

:02:34. > :02:39.and distributing supplies. An official from the Turkish

:02:40. > :02:41.Humanitarian Relief Foundation told But the borders have

:02:42. > :02:51.been closed to most, despite appeals by European Union

:02:52. > :03:08.leaders to let them cross. We will hear from Angela Merkel and

:03:09. > :03:09.the Turkish Prime Minister in a moment.

:03:10. > :03:12.Next let me play you this - the story of one girl who has

:03:13. > :03:14.managed to get across the border into Turkey,

:03:15. > :04:26.but her family have been left on the other side.

:04:27. > :04:32.That women and many others saying they would like to go back to

:04:33. > :04:36.Aleppo. At the moment that looks like it is impossible and these

:04:37. > :04:37.people are building up on the border between Syria and Turkey.

:04:38. > :04:40.Hundreds of kilometers away, Angela Merkel was in Ankara to meet

:04:41. > :04:58.Nearly 30,000 people have gathered near our border. We will meet the

:04:59. > :05:02.needs of our Syrian brothers as usual and take them men when

:05:03. > :05:06.necessary. We have expressed this clearly that no one should excuse to

:05:07. > :05:12.tolerate Russian air strikes that are an ethnic massacre, presuming

:05:13. > :05:17.that Turkey will accept Syrian refugees. No one should expect

:05:18. > :05:21.Turkey to take all of the burden. In the past days we have become not

:05:22. > :05:25.just alarmed at polled by the human misery that is unfolding for tens of

:05:26. > :05:26.thousands of people cause by bombardments coming mostly from

:05:27. > :05:28.Russia. At the same press conference,

:05:29. > :05:31.Mrs Merkel also announced that Germany and Turkey would be asking

:05:32. > :05:34.Nato to help police the Aegean Sea That news came as it was reported

:05:35. > :05:41.today that at least 24 people - including some children -

:05:42. > :05:44.have drowned off the Turkish coast trying to reach the Greek

:05:45. > :05:47.island of Lesbos. These are pictures of some

:05:48. > :05:56.of the victims being brought ashore. You may find these

:05:57. > :06:14.pictures disturbing. We can see a number of bodies being

:06:15. > :06:20.brought ashore by a number of rescue workers, one by one being put on the

:06:21. > :06:24.shore. To give you an idea of the scale, it is estimated that 400

:06:25. > :06:30.people have died this year trying to make the journey to Greece over the

:06:31. > :06:30.Aegean Sea, that is according to the International organisation for

:06:31. > :06:34.migration. We talked to Cagil Kasapoglu,

:06:35. > :06:37.BBC Turkish, about both stories - first here she is on why Turkey

:06:38. > :06:52.won't let those fleeing Aleppo cross Turkey says that it has reached its

:06:53. > :07:01.capacity to accommodate Syrian refugees. There are 2.5 million

:07:02. > :07:07.official refugees and there are also those who have passed into the

:07:08. > :07:13.country illegally. Turkey is helping those already across the board with

:07:14. > :07:18.food and health services. It has reached its limits in terms of what

:07:19. > :07:25.it has to do. Now the EU pledges to give 3 billion euros to Turkey and

:07:26. > :07:30.next week we will see how that will proceed, because in the same

:07:31. > :07:36.conference the Prime Minister also said that there are some projects

:07:37. > :07:40.done for the refugees, for their education and health, and these will

:07:41. > :07:45.be presented to the EU and will mark the official process of how those

:07:46. > :07:51.funds will be used. What is public opinion in Turkey on this issue? It

:07:52. > :07:59.is mixed. This has been going on since 2011 and I was at the border

:08:00. > :08:11.when the first influx of people came in. The Syrians will not be -- the

:08:12. > :08:16.Syrians will be granted work permits and that might disturb some people.

:08:17. > :08:21.However, many of the refugees are not want to stay in Turkey so they

:08:22. > :08:27.are risking their lives to try and reach Europe. Some people might see

:08:28. > :08:34.the boats coming across the Aegean Sea and think it would not be hard

:08:35. > :08:41.to secure the border of Turkey. How are smugglers still getting people

:08:42. > :08:46.onto boats? This is a huge problem. They say they will fight smuggling

:08:47. > :08:57.but it is a long border and there are villages. We have seen the

:08:58. > :09:03.video, it is hard to patrol. They are asking for EU's Resorts is

:09:04. > :09:08.because they cannot cope with this huge influx of refugees. If you

:09:09. > :09:13.speak Turkish you can see that story on BBC Turkish. On Saturday that was

:09:14. > :09:15.this terrible earthquake in Taiwan. The earthquake was on Saturday

:09:16. > :09:25.morning, the early hours, 6.4 magnitude, Taiwan

:09:26. > :09:27.suffered the worst damage. This place was hit hardest. The

:09:28. > :09:47.figure of 38 may go up. The outgoing President says there's

:09:48. > :10:04.still hope for survivors: Here is his latest report.

:10:05. > :10:10.As night fell, the excavators moved on. The hunt for survivors is not

:10:11. > :10:16.over. The diggers will try to open a tunnel through the rubble that the

:10:17. > :10:23.search teams can then use. Earlier in the day, there was a miracle.

:10:24. > :10:29.After 60 hours in the rubble, and eight-year-old girl is pooled into

:10:30. > :10:37.the light. Many of those inside the 17th century -- 17 story block the

:10:38. > :10:41.not have a chance. It fell into itself. The earthquake struck on the

:10:42. > :10:46.small hours of Saturday morning. Dozens are known to have died and

:10:47. > :10:52.more than 120 people are still missing. Why did it fall down when

:10:53. > :10:56.other buildings remained standing? Perhaps because NT cooking oil

:10:57. > :11:01.containers were used in its construction, revealed by the force

:11:02. > :11:10.of the earthquake. -- NT cooking oil containers. The president visited

:11:11. > :11:15.some of those real estate collapse. -- who escaped the collapsed. But

:11:16. > :11:19.this doctor said that time is running out for anyone who is still

:11:20. > :11:26.trapped. There is still a chance of rescue, but without one close, food,

:11:27. > :11:29.and water, in the clouds and the cold, they are stark and after a

:11:30. > :11:38.while they will die from older hunger. Hope is not yet lost. It is

:11:39. > :11:45.nearly four days since the Loch tumbled as people were asleep. In

:11:46. > :11:54.the ruins, in the darkness, the search for survivors goes on.

:11:55. > :12:03.We will update you through the week here on outside source. Now for a

:12:04. > :12:05.story that has been watched millions of times.

:12:06. > :12:14.Kieran O'Mahony, conservationist at Cardiff University:

:12:15. > :12:17.What he's talking about is the story of six people

:12:18. > :12:25.who were injured at a school in Bangalore by a leopard.

:12:26. > :12:30.This may well have happened because people are living in areas

:12:31. > :12:36.where previously only animals had been.

:12:37. > :12:45.The high school is close to a wood. As Indians are building more and

:12:46. > :12:47.more in areas that used to be used only by animals, there are problems.

:12:48. > :12:50.As you can in this report from Sanjoy Majumder the school's

:12:51. > :12:52.secuirty camera caught what happened.

:12:53. > :12:57.It's not what you expect to see every day, and certainly not

:12:58. > :13:01.It apparently entered the school early in the morning,

:13:02. > :13:08.Luckily, there were no children around.

:13:09. > :13:12.Most people managed to flee but some had to try to capture it.

:13:13. > :13:18.This forestry official came close to being very seriously mauled

:13:19. > :13:22.He sustained arm injuries but, incredibly, was able to walk away,

:13:23. > :13:25.and no one else was seriously injured.

:13:26. > :13:31.It took the authorities ten hours to capture the animal.

:13:32. > :13:36.The male leopard, thought to be five or six years old,

:13:37. > :13:40.It has now been moved to a game reserve.

:13:41. > :13:47.They are known to be shy animals but there have been a few incidents

:13:48. > :13:50.of them straying into urban areas, especially as India's forests

:13:51. > :13:52.are increasingly being encroached upon to build new settlements

:13:53. > :14:11.If you would like to see that video or share with someone you can get it

:14:12. > :14:17.on the BBC news website or on the BBC news at. In a few minutes time

:14:18. > :14:21.we're going to talk about what is happening in Venezuela where

:14:22. > :14:23.shopkeepers are having to open for only four hours a day to do with

:14:24. > :14:33.energy rationing. Many parts of southern Britain have

:14:34. > :14:36.been hit hard by Storm Imogen. The weather system brought heavy

:14:37. > :14:39.rain and winds of up to South-west England and southern

:14:40. > :14:44.and mid-Wales have borne the brunt of the storm -

:14:45. > :14:46.causing major travel disruption and leaving thousands of homes

:14:47. > :14:52.in the region without power. Our correspondent, Abigail Neal,

:14:53. > :14:55.is on the coast in South Wales and a little earlier gave

:14:56. > :15:08.us this update. Across South and West Wales Storm

:15:09. > :15:13.Imogen has been causing trouble. More than 3500 homes were cut off at

:15:14. > :15:17.some point. Engineers are now reducing that number. The only

:15:18. > :15:22.motorway in Wales has been closed for most of the day because of an

:15:23. > :15:30.overturned lorry. We have had cancellations to several flights and

:15:31. > :15:31.ferries. In one town the whole centre had to close because tiles

:15:32. > :15:40.were falling off the road. This is Outside Source live

:15:41. > :15:42.from the BBC newsroom. Thousands of Syrian refugees

:15:43. > :15:47.are gathering on the northern border with Turkey hoping

:15:48. > :15:49.to enter the country. The Turkish Prime Minister has

:15:50. > :15:52.said his country would let them BBC Afrique reports that the UN has

:16:48. > :16:51.another man has been shot in an apparent retaliation.

:16:52. > :16:54.David Cameron has suggested that refugee camps could appear in the UK

:16:55. > :16:55.if Britain leaves the European Union.

:16:56. > :17:01.It's because he argues that the French may end an agreement

:17:02. > :17:03.which lets British border guards check passports in Calais.

:17:04. > :17:04.Not everyone's convinced that will happen.

:17:05. > :17:10.It is called the Jungle, a makeshift camp in France

:17:11. > :17:13.with its own shops and library, mud and squalor.

:17:14. > :17:16.Home to 6000 refugees and migrants, many of

:17:17. > :17:22.whom David Cameron says could end up in Britain if we vote to leave

:17:23. > :17:24.the EU, and France sends UK border staff

:17:25. > :17:29.There are any number of opposition politicians in France who would love

:17:30. > :17:34.to tear up the excellent agreement we have with France to make sure

:17:35. > :17:38.we have our borders on their side of the Channel and I do not think

:17:39. > :17:42.we should give those politicians any excuse to do that.

:17:43. > :17:47.The deal he talks about was agreed by Tony Blair in 2003.

:17:48. > :17:50.It allowed British border officials to check and block

:17:51. > :17:56.Instead of deterring refugees from Calais,

:17:57. > :18:01.Now French politicians warn they could

:18:02. > :18:05.tear up the Treaty if Britain left the EU.

:18:06. > :18:08.The Prime Minister is right to say that France would probably

:18:09. > :18:12.break the treaty, and we would go back to the types of numbers we had,

:18:13. > :18:19.80,000 plus, before the treaty was made in 2003.

:18:20. > :18:21.Instead of gathering in one camp as in Calais,

:18:22. > :18:25.officials claim many of these migrants would

:18:26. > :18:30.probably spread out across the south of England, with only some held

:18:31. > :18:33.David Cameron is making the warning because he wants

:18:34. > :18:37.people to be aware of what he sees as a risk of leaving the EU.

:18:38. > :18:40.The danger is if it backfires and people think

:18:41. > :18:43.he is exaggerating the threat and no longer making a positive case

:18:44. > :18:53.In Calais this week, there were more protests against migration.

:18:54. > :18:57.In London today, the Prime Minister's critics dismissed

:18:58. > :18:59.what they called his sad and disappointing tactics.

:19:00. > :19:01.Not only is it irresponsible scaremongering, it

:19:02. > :19:07.It is a treaty between Britain and France and nothing to do

:19:08. > :19:13.And the French government said were they to have an open

:19:14. > :19:16.border with the UK it would be a humanitarian disaster in Calais

:19:17. > :19:20.There is nothing in the renegotiation that restricts

:19:21. > :19:23.the free movement of people from Europe.

:19:24. > :19:27.So a referendum that many thought would focus on the economic risks

:19:28. > :19:31.of leaving or remaining in the EU will

:19:32. > :19:40.involve a debate about migration and the future of camps like these.

:19:41. > :19:43.Let's turn to India first of all - its official growth figures

:19:44. > :19:46.for the end of 2015 have been released.

:19:47. > :19:49.They suggest India grew at an average rate of 7.5% in 2015.

:19:50. > :19:53.Faster than China, which grew by 6.9% in 2015.

:19:54. > :20:00.All very positive, but some economists aren't

:20:01. > :20:02.-- are questioning those official numbers.

:20:03. > :20:13.It is fair to say there has been sketched is about India's economic

:20:14. > :20:16.growth data ever since the government revised how it calculates

:20:17. > :20:25.those numbers January last year. That was firmly sought the 5% growth

:20:26. > :20:30.shoot up to 7%. But I don't think anyone is disputing the fact that

:20:31. > :20:34.the economy is expanding, one of the bright spots among emerging

:20:35. > :20:39.countries around the world. We have seen manufacturing and mining pack

:20:40. > :20:43.up, offsetting a drop in agricultural output due to bad

:20:44. > :20:46.rainfall. We have also seen a government spending increase and

:20:47. > :20:51.that has been driving the economy. There is a limit to how much the

:20:52. > :20:54.government can dip into its own pocket, so what the country really

:20:55. > :20:59.needs is private investment and that is not something we are yet seeing.

:21:00. > :21:04.The government is pushing for its and the Prime Minister has been

:21:05. > :21:08.travelling around the globe asking companies to come and manufacture in

:21:09. > :21:13.India, but it is a difficult place to do business and several laws that

:21:14. > :21:18.could help it get easier are still to be cleared by the Parliament. The

:21:19. > :21:23.private investment is critical here considering India's large population

:21:24. > :21:27.needing a job. Only when we start to see more factories and shops opening

:21:28. > :21:32.here will we see the fast-paced growth reflected on the ground.

:21:33. > :21:35.Staying with India - problems for Facebook

:21:36. > :21:37.as the country's telecoms regulator blocks its Free Basics internet

:21:38. > :21:58.We are joined from New York. What is the idea behind the scheme?

:21:59. > :22:03.The idea was to try and connect people who could not otherwise get

:22:04. > :22:08.connected to the Internet. They were offering is part of the free package

:22:09. > :22:13.unlimited access to the Internet. You could see websites like the BBC,

:22:14. > :22:20.Wikipedia, some health sites and whether sites. This was agreed to

:22:21. > :22:25.buy this and local providers, but the Indian regulators have stopped

:22:26. > :22:29.it. Why would Facebook not offer the

:22:30. > :22:34.Internet servers allow people to look up what they want?

:22:35. > :22:38.The point is that you have to pay to connect to the Internet. This book

:22:39. > :22:47.was trying to provide it for free but in a stripped down version. --

:22:48. > :22:51.Facebook. The idea behind the Internet was that this should be

:22:52. > :22:57.free access to the information for everyone, but by offering this

:22:58. > :23:02.limited offering it made Facebook the gatekeeper and that is what

:23:03. > :23:06.troubled the regulators and those who stand by the principle of net

:23:07. > :23:11.neutrality. Facebook said it would be too expensive for it to pay for

:23:12. > :23:22.everyone to receive full access to the Internet. The idea of knowing

:23:23. > :23:23.the charity comes under pressure often but for the moment it is

:23:24. > :23:25.holding. Next to Venezuela, where shop

:23:26. > :23:28.keepers are halving their opening Here's BBC Mundo's Arturo Wallace

:23:29. > :23:39.with the reason why. Although it is a big oil producer,

:23:40. > :23:43.most of the electricity is produced by hydropower and a lack of rain has

:23:44. > :23:48.resulted in many of the dams operating below their normal

:23:49. > :23:55.capacity. The government has decided to ration energy and has at

:23:56. > :23:59.shopkeepers to do their bit. The government is asking them to do this

:24:00. > :24:05.and it will only open from TPM until 7pm.

:24:06. > :24:11.If they open anyway? They will not have any power. The

:24:12. > :24:16.government is asking them to generate their own electricity by

:24:17. > :24:19.installing a portable generator. Some people might be surprised that

:24:20. > :24:29.Venezuela is so vulnerable to power shortages.

:24:30. > :24:34.It is a big oil producer but 70% of the eligible city is produced by

:24:35. > :24:38.hydropower. Part of the problem is to do with the lack of maintenance

:24:39. > :24:42.and repairs on the great and the dams and that is part of the

:24:43. > :24:48.problem. It is one of the many issues that Venezuela is facing.

:24:49. > :24:54.Recently we were covering the election in Venezuela and the defeat

:24:55. > :24:57.of the socialist movement. How is that starting to work with the

:24:58. > :25:04.President? The president still controls many

:25:05. > :25:08.things. They have not been able to pass any laws so far but they are

:25:09. > :25:09.exerting some control and there is more openness in the debates and

:25:10. > :25:16.discussion about what is going on. Just quickly, an online archive

:25:17. > :25:19.of old computer malware has attracted more than 100,000 visitors

:25:20. > :25:25.since it launched four days ago. There it is - it's on archive.org,

:25:26. > :25:28.and it's called The Malware Museum - as you can see a lot of the viruses

:25:29. > :25:32.date from the 1980s and 90s. It includes one called Casino,

:25:33. > :25:34.which overwrote a crucial part of the computer's file system

:25:35. > :25:37.but took a copy of personal files and then offered the user

:25:38. > :25:52.the opportunity to win them back That is it for the first half of the

:25:53. > :26:08.programme. I will see you in a moment.

:26:09. > :26:18.Thank you for joining me. Here is our look at conditions around the

:26:19. > :26:22.world. First to the United States were stormy conditions have been

:26:23. > :26:23.brought to Bermuda and there is winter across
