:00:09. > :00:13.Hi, welcome to Outside Source. We start in Germany. There's been a
:00:14. > :00:19.fatal head-on train crash near Munich. We will bring together the
:00:20. > :00:23.late nest a moment. These are the latest primaries as America selects
:00:24. > :00:26.its candidates for the presidential election. If you have any questions
:00:27. > :00:31.about the campaigns, send them in now.
:00:32. > :00:35.The US intelligence official is accusing North Korea as being weeks
:00:36. > :00:38.away as creating fuel for nuclear weapons, after restarting the
:00:39. > :00:43.plutonium reactor. If you were watching yesterday, we
:00:44. > :00:45.reported on the exodus of people from Aleppo in Syria north towards
:00:46. > :00:49.the border with Turkey. Today we're going to hear from a doctor, who is
:00:50. > :00:54.inside Aleppo. Plus, we have the latest on the
:00:55. > :00:56.violence if Hong Kong and the world's oldest power lifter is going
:00:57. > :01:16.to talk us through how he does it. First, let me update you on the
:01:17. > :01:20.train crash in Germany. We know ten people have lost their lives and
:01:21. > :01:27.that two passenger trains collided head on. This happened south-east of
:01:28. > :01:31.Munich. If we go much closer in on the map, you can see precisely where
:01:32. > :01:36.this took place. There is a river with a bend in it and the rails are
:01:37. > :01:41.running alongside the edge of the river. We don't know the cause. The
:01:42. > :01:45.German Transport Minister visited the scene earlier saying, "The site
:01:46. > :01:49.is on a bend. So we have to surmise that both train drivers had no
:01:50. > :01:53.visual contact before the crash. Therefore it crashed into each other
:01:54. > :01:57.largely without braking." To give you an idea of the immediate
:01:58. > :02:01.pressures that the emergency services were put under, this is the
:02:02. > :02:06.Munich blood bank issuing an appeal for donors on its Facebook page.
:02:07. > :02:08.Let's bring you up to date with the other information we had on the
:02:09. > :02:15.story. On a quiet commuter line,
:02:16. > :02:18.the violence of a head-on collision. This footage was taken
:02:19. > :02:24.moments after the "I can't move my arm,"
:02:25. > :02:36.one woman shouts. "Don't worry," a passenger replies,
:02:37. > :02:39."the police will be here soon." The man who took this
:02:40. > :02:41.video escaped unhurt. There was blood everywhere because
:02:42. > :02:49.some people flew away. And some hit their head
:02:50. > :02:52.on the chairs or windows or armrest The train line runs between a wooded
:02:53. > :02:59.hillside and river. Easier to carry the dead
:03:00. > :03:02.and injured away by air, TRANSLATION: The collision was
:03:03. > :03:14.head-on and at high speed. At the accident site the speed limit
:03:15. > :03:17.is around 100 kilometres per hour. There is a bend in that stretch
:03:18. > :03:20.of track and you have to assume the train drivers had little if any
:03:21. > :03:23.eye contact before the collision. Investigators have recovered two
:03:24. > :03:25.of three black boxes. The crash happened
:03:26. > :03:29.on a single track. Trains use a nearby station
:03:30. > :03:32.where there is a double track There is an automatic braking system
:03:33. > :03:39.designed to halt any train that Joe, a regular commuter,
:03:40. > :03:45.told us his train usually stops and waits for the oncoming
:03:46. > :03:47.train to pass. This morning, he said,
:03:48. > :03:56.was different. Normally, the train has to wait five
:03:57. > :04:10.minutes for the oncoming train. And three minutes, while waiting
:04:11. > :04:12.three minutes, the guy This has horrified
:04:13. > :04:17.Germany, a country where rail crashes
:04:18. > :04:22.are relatively rare. The German Chancellor,
:04:23. > :04:24.Angela Merkel, said she is saddened And bear this in mind, it is the
:04:25. > :04:31.school holidays. People tell us on a normal morning,
:04:32. > :04:34.these trains would have been As the light fades,
:04:35. > :04:37.the work continues. It will be weeks
:04:38. > :04:42.perhaps months before As that investigation continues,
:04:43. > :04:46.you'll hear the latest here on BBC News. That's one of the main stories
:04:47. > :04:48.in the newsroom today. This is probably the other one, which has
:04:49. > :04:52.been demanding our attention. Votes are being cast in the New Hampshire
:04:53. > :04:55.primary. This is the next stage in the process of choosing the
:04:56. > :04:59.candidates for the US presidential election. We're not going to know
:05:00. > :05:02.the main results till quite a lot later, several hours away. Some
:05:03. > :05:12.small towns have announced their results. Let me introduce you to
:05:13. > :05:15.one. This is Dixville Notch. Polls opened at midnight, closing 20
:05:16. > :05:19.seconds later. That similar pressive. Perhaps less impressive
:05:20. > :05:22.when I tell you there are only nine registered voters. Nonetheless, they
:05:23. > :05:27.were first out of the blocks. Here are the results. The on the Democrat
:05:28. > :05:30.side, nothing for Hillary Clinton, four for Bernie Sanders. On the
:05:31. > :05:36.Republican side, Donald Trump picking up two, but Kasich coming
:05:37. > :05:40.top with three. A bad start for the winners in Iowa. Ted Cruz and
:05:41. > :05:44.Hillary Clinton. Don't read anything into that. There are many, many,
:05:45. > :05:49.many more votes to come. Just to explain the system that we're seeing
:05:50. > :05:52.play out here - candidates for the presidency are chosen by delegates
:05:53. > :05:57.at the two party conventions in June. You win delegates by winning
:05:58. > :06:02.primaries and caucuses in individual states. Iowa's was first. New
:06:03. > :06:05.Hampshire is second. Many more will follow. We're not far away from
:06:06. > :06:09.Super Tuesday when a number of states are involved. If you want
:06:10. > :06:14.more background on what can be a long and complex system, you'll find
:06:15. > :06:19.it on the BBC website and the BBC News app. Throughout the campaign
:06:20. > :06:24.Katty Kay has been helping us out. She joins us live from Manchester,
:06:25. > :06:28.new shamshire. -- New Hampshire. One viewer has tweeted me from New
:06:29. > :06:32.Hampshire claiming you're staying in the same hotel as Donald Trump, is
:06:33. > :06:42.this true? Yes! It is true. In fact, I was just leaving the hotel a
:06:43. > :06:46.little white ago and Ivanka Trump walked in the I was going to speak
:06:47. > :06:52.to her, but I saw the security and I'm a wuss. He's staying at the West
:06:53. > :06:57.Western here in New Hampshire. I think it's probably the seediest
:06:58. > :07:01.place he has ever stayed. I'm glad you're sharing a hotel. I'm told
:07:02. > :07:07.you've spoken not to him but to two other Republican contenders. Yeah, I
:07:08. > :07:11.caught up with Marco Rubio this morning and with governor Chris
:07:12. > :07:14.Christie. I saw senator Rubio outside a polling station. There
:07:15. > :07:18.were few people around. He was making sure he was glad handing the
:07:19. > :07:22.potential voters. I asked whether he thought the same thing was happening
:07:23. > :07:27.here as in Iowa, if you remember, all those people who decided late,
:07:28. > :07:31.many of them turned to Marco Rubio. I asked if he thought that was the
:07:32. > :07:35.case here. He said he thought that was happening. He sounded confident
:07:36. > :07:39.about. It I have to say his manner, though, was less confident than what
:07:40. > :07:42.he was actually saying. He looked a bit uneasy, I thought. Chris
:07:43. > :07:48.Christie never looks uneasy. He looked like he was having a blast I
:07:49. > :07:53.ran into him in a bar and asked him how it was going and when he thought
:07:54. > :07:57.he had hit senator Rubio too hard, in the debate on Saturday night. He
:07:58. > :08:02.said no, he thought senator Rubio had revealed his true self. He
:08:03. > :08:06.sounded account about how things were going for -- sounded confident
:08:07. > :08:09.about how things were going for him. Are votes being decided by local
:08:10. > :08:15.issues or are they looking on the national stage? I think here more
:08:16. > :08:21.than in Iowa, it is national issues that matter. In Iowa it's slightly
:08:22. > :08:26.skewed by farmers and subsidies for farmers, corn farmers in particular
:08:27. > :08:31.there. Here, people really are interested in the issues of
:08:32. > :08:35.immigration, I've heard voters talking b, the economy, Bernie
:08:36. > :08:40.Sanders' supporters are interested in the question of income inequality
:08:41. > :08:43.and wage growth. They are interested in national security issues. All the
:08:44. > :08:47.things that are happening around the world that our audiences are so
:08:48. > :08:52.interested in, they are so focussed on here if New Hampshire too. I know
:08:53. > :08:56.you're in for a long day's reporting, run us through the time
:08:57. > :09:00.table from now till when we get two winners. We have the polls close
:09:01. > :09:04.here in New Hampshire in a few hours' time. We should have a result
:09:05. > :09:09.in seven hours' time. Then it goes on to the other states. We don't
:09:10. > :09:12.know when we will have a nominee for the Republican or Democratic
:09:13. > :09:17.parties. My hunch is looking at how the race is at the moment it's going
:09:18. > :09:23.to take a while. We might not know until mid-March at earliest and
:09:24. > :09:26.possibly not until April who, maybe even until the conventions this
:09:27. > :09:29.summer, who will be the Republican nominee. Hopefully we might have a
:09:30. > :09:35.Democratic nominee sooner than that. Thank you very much.
:09:36. > :09:40.Katty is part of the BBC team in New Hampshire. Full coverage as the
:09:41. > :09:43.results come in. When there's a winner, you will hear it first here
:09:44. > :09:46.on BBC News. Now yesterday if you were watching
:09:47. > :09:51.when we were covering the New Hampshire story, we brought you the
:09:52. > :09:53.tale of a fridge in a newspaper office which almost all the
:09:54. > :09:58.candidates have signed and they have in previous campaigns. Today it's a
:09:59. > :10:05.grocery store getting all the attention.
:10:06. > :10:11.The country star was the nerve centre for the community. 1887, Mr
:10:12. > :10:19.Robie bought the store. It stayed in the family for 1 so years. I think
:10:20. > :10:24.candidates made it a priority to come through so they could meet the
:10:25. > :10:29.individual voters and the voters could meet them up close and
:10:30. > :10:31.personal. The first time I became familiar with presidential
:10:32. > :10:35.candidates coming through was when Jimmy Carter came through. He walked
:10:36. > :10:41.in. I happened to be here that day. Walked in the back door and
:10:42. > :10:49.introduced himself to Mr Robie and Mr Robie being hard of hearing said,
:10:50. > :10:54."Jimmy who? Then he was known as Jimmy who in the state of New
:10:55. > :11:00.Hampshire. Eight candidates have come through, Chris Christie, Jeb
:11:01. > :11:06.Bush, senator Marco Rubio, senator Ted Cruz. It's been a wonderful
:11:07. > :11:14.experience. Most of the voters who come out and, by the way, a lot do,
:11:15. > :11:19.to these meetings, want to personally hear and shake hands.
:11:20. > :11:24.Anyone that wants to meet a candidate has the opportunity, which
:11:25. > :11:27.is very unique. I know we have trends in California who say, boy,
:11:28. > :11:32.you're lucky you get to see them up close and personal, all we see is on
:11:33. > :11:38.television. My vote will be influenced by the
:11:39. > :11:46.impression that they make on me as they come through. If they don't
:11:47. > :11:56.come through, if I have strong opinions, why, that will come into
:11:57. > :11:59.the equation too. Thanks very much. Across the weekend one of the big
:12:00. > :12:03.stories involved North Korea and it's back in the headlines because
:12:04. > :12:07.of this: Claim coming from the Americans. This is copy that came
:12:08. > :12:10.into the newsroom. It's not there. I'll tell what you it says all the
:12:11. > :12:15.same. The Americans are claiming that North Korea has restarted a
:12:16. > :12:19.plutonium reactor that could provide fuel for nuclear weapons. We know
:12:20. > :12:27.that North Korea has several nuclear sites, one of its most powerful, if
:12:28. > :12:32.we drill in on the map, is a place called Yoongbyon. You've got to see
:12:33. > :12:37.what the Americans are saying, today, in the context of North Korea
:12:38. > :12:42.on Sunday launching a long-range rocket. I've been speaking to one of
:12:43. > :12:48.our regional editors about her reaction to these latest st from the
:12:49. > :12:52.Americans -- latest claims from the Americans. All this is carefully
:12:53. > :12:56.planned by the north Koreans. They warned the world they would restart
:12:57. > :13:00.the reactor. They said they were going to launch satellites and
:13:01. > :13:03.that's what they've been doing. When they do these things, the world
:13:04. > :13:06.condemns it. It doesn't seem to make any difference though. No, China is
:13:07. > :13:10.proving to be the obstacle. Washington has announced that it
:13:11. > :13:13.wants to toughen sanctions. South Korea and Japan wants to as well.
:13:14. > :13:17.North Korea has suffered through four rounds of UN sanctions in the
:13:18. > :13:20.past decade. It hasn't stopped the country from progressing with the
:13:21. > :13:24.nuclear weapons programme. What sanctions are left? I was under the
:13:25. > :13:28.impression they were stringent. Sanctions are in place. China is
:13:29. > :13:32.propping up North Korea at the moment. They're responsible for up
:13:33. > :13:38.to 80% of North Korea's food and fuel. Beijing wants to keep the
:13:39. > :13:43.North Korean regime in place. It doesn't want the Cannes Troy
:13:44. > :13:48.collapse. -- country to collapse. Presumably it doesn't want it to use
:13:49. > :13:53.nuclear weapons. Beijing is walking a fine line right now. It has
:13:54. > :13:57.admonished the north Koreans for pushing ahead with its weapons
:13:58. > :14:03.programme. At the same time, it wants the north Koreans to stay in
:14:04. > :14:08.place. It doesn't want another regime friendler to Washington to be
:14:09. > :14:16.in place. Apart from irritating its rivals, why is North Korea doing
:14:17. > :14:21.this now? There's key domestic politics. Kim Jong Un is looking
:14:22. > :14:26.forward to a party conference being held in May, the first since 1980.
:14:27. > :14:30.He's pushing forward key economic reforms. If the nuclear weapons
:14:31. > :14:34.programme is doing well, maybe he'll be able to push the economic reforms
:14:35. > :14:40.he wants forward in May. Very interesting to hear that explained.
:14:41. > :14:44.Thank you very much to her for that analysis. I'm certain she will have
:14:45. > :14:48.been covering this story as well earlier in the day. Clashes between
:14:49. > :14:51.riot police and protesters in Hong Kong over a plan by the authorities

:15:14. > :15:17.their second strike tomorrow. The Health Secretary says thousands of
:15:18. > :15:20.deaths occur at weekends because staffing is low. Critics have
:15:21. > :15:27.accused him of making misleading claims. Both sides blame each other
:15:28. > :15:30.for the break down of talks. An agreement has not been reached on
:15:31. > :15:36.the issue of Saturday pay, despite assurances from the BMA they would
:15:37. > :15:40.negotiate on this point. Regrettably 2,884 operations have been cancelled
:15:41. > :15:44.ahead of tomorrow's industrial action, which will affect all
:15:45. > :15:47.nonemergency services. I urge the BMA to put the interests of patients
:15:48. > :15:51.first. We've presented to the Government a fully worked up
:15:52. > :15:53.solution that allows junior doctors to be retained in this country in
:15:54. > :15:57.the long-term. The Government have rejected it. Once again they're
:15:58. > :16:01.playing politics with this contract dispute, when it was obvious that it
:16:02. > :16:10.had a solution and we could have avoided all this action.
:16:11. > :16:16.This is Outside Source, we're live in the BBC News room. Our lead
:16:17. > :16:20.story: At least ten people have died, many more injured, after two
:16:21. > :16:24.passenger trains collided in Bavaria in Germany.
:16:25. > :16:29.Let's bring you some of the stories from BBC World Service: First of
:16:30. > :16:32.all, reports police in Taiwan are questioning the developer of a
:16:33. > :16:36.building, in which at least 39 people died after that earthquake on
:16:37. > :16:39.Saturday. You'd imagine the questions are being asked, the
:16:40. > :16:46.collapse revealed what can you see there, large tin cans being used as
:16:47. > :16:51.filler in some of the building's concrete pillars. BBC Hindi is
:16:52. > :16:55.covering the rescue of an Indian soldier six days after being buried
:16:56. > :17:00.in an avalanche. He's critically ill, though.
:17:01. > :17:04.Lots of you reading this, biologists say they have worked out how tiny
:17:05. > :17:07.bacterium sense light and move towards it. The reason is that the
:17:08. > :17:14.entire organism acts like an eye ball. You can get a full explanation
:17:15. > :17:21.through the BBC News. If you were watching yesterday, our
:17:22. > :17:25.lead story was about the number of Syrians who are fleeing an
:17:26. > :17:29.escalation of fighting in Aleppo and heading northwards up to the Turkish
:17:30. > :17:34.border. They were not being allowed across. Here's a more detailed map
:17:35. > :17:38.of the area. Government forces have all but surrounded Aleppo now, with
:17:39. > :17:45.the aid of Russian air strikes. That has given people north, in
:17:46. > :17:50.particular to Bab al-Salama. To give you an idea how the UN is assessing
:17:51. > :17:57.it. It put out this tweet, it's now saying in the region of 30,000 plus
:17:58. > :18:01.people are stuck by this border. It says it's extremely concerned. One
:18:02. > :18:04.Doctor Who is working at a hospital inside Aleppo has been talking to
:18:05. > :18:14.the BBC. We managed to get through to him on Skype earlier. It's quite
:18:15. > :18:22.difficult to be here. Last year, we get used about the explosives that
:18:23. > :18:31.the regime used to shell us with it. Then comes the Russian aircraft
:18:32. > :18:43.bombing. Now it's quite heavier bombing over Aleppo city. Today,
:18:44. > :18:48.this morning, we had three air crafts bombing in neighbourhoods.
:18:49. > :18:53.Seven people were killed, civilians, all of them civilians. One of them
:18:54. > :19:05.is a child, seven years old. It's very difficult now to be here, now
:19:06. > :19:09.the regime has cut one of the two roads that supply Aleppo. Now we
:19:10. > :19:12.have only one road. It's very threatened to be under siege. One
:19:13. > :19:17.doctor speaking to us from Aleppo. We will update you on this story
:19:18. > :19:21.every day through the week. Time for business now. Let's start
:19:22. > :19:25.by talking about this man, this is the boss of Google. He's now the
:19:26. > :19:32.highest paid chief executive in the US. He has been awarded stock
:19:33. > :19:41.options worth $199 million. He got those on February 3. Bear in mind
:19:42. > :19:45.that takes his total stock value to approximately $650 million. Let's
:19:46. > :19:50.talk to Michelle Fluerry from New York. Nice work if you can get it, I
:19:51. > :19:55.guess. How does Google justify paying one individual this kind of
:19:56. > :20:02.cash? Well, it's all a comparison game, if you like. Look at the
:20:03. > :20:12.founders of the company. They still earn substantially more than he
:20:13. > :20:19.does. If you look at Eric Smidt, who previously had this position, but he
:20:20. > :20:24.also is still incredibly wealthy and Med a lot more money -- made a lot
:20:25. > :20:29.more money. It is a question worth asking - how do these CEOs justify
:20:30. > :20:33.the salary when you compare it to the median income to the average
:20:34. > :20:37.American who earns somewhere in the region of $45,000 a year. Is this
:20:38. > :20:41.just a select few companies like Google, clearly known around the
:20:42. > :20:48.world, or can we track an upward trend in all CEO pay? I think you
:20:49. > :20:51.have to look to a certain core group, obviously, big, multinational
:20:52. > :20:57.companies, there you're going to see this kind of pay. There starts to
:20:58. > :21:00.become competition amongst CEOs which tends to push up prices. At
:21:01. > :21:03.the same time, when you look at broadly speaking what's happening
:21:04. > :21:07.with wages. We saw last month, in the jobs report, the wages across
:21:08. > :21:10.America are beginning to creep up. Obviously, nothing on a scale of
:21:11. > :21:16.compared to what we're talking about here with Google (p Good to speak to
:21:17. > :21:22.you. Big CEO pay for Google. Big CEO pay
:21:23. > :21:25.is in the payments in the oil industry. We've been talking about
:21:26. > :21:28.oil prices going down. We're now going to turn to another industry
:21:29. > :21:32.that is suffering, the mining sector. I didn't know anywhere near
:21:33. > :21:36.as much as I did about the oil industry. But there's a big industry
:21:37. > :21:43.conference in Cape Town. The state of play is top of the agenda. Matt
:21:44. > :21:47.Davis is there. The mood at this year's investing in
:21:48. > :21:51.African mining here in Cape Town is sombre compared to previous years.
:21:52. > :21:56.The sound of champagne corks popping is noticeable by its absence. And
:21:57. > :22:03.the reason - the tremendous fall in commodity prices over the past year.
:22:04. > :22:08.The prices of some metals and minerals have fallen between 30% and
:22:09. > :22:12.50% in recent years. That's just where the mining company's woes
:22:13. > :22:15.start. Some are heavily indebted and need serious work on their balance
:22:16. > :22:20.sheets. But there is one bright spot, and that's gold. The price of
:22:21. > :22:24.gold is expected to do pretty well this year compared to other
:22:25. > :22:28.commodities. Miners tend to be an optimistic bunch. I guess you have
:22:29. > :22:31.to be if you dig a hole in the middle of nowhere, convince people
:22:32. > :22:36.to put anyone into it and get more money out of it. You have to be a
:22:37. > :22:49.fairly positive type of person. It's that positivity that it's hope will
:22:50. > :22:55.be more in evidence next year. Dozen of typhoons create problems
:22:56. > :22:58.for farmers. One solution being explored is genetic engineers,
:22:59. > :23:04.creating props better equipped to deal with the weather. The BBC's
:23:05. > :23:11.correspondent has been to the Philippines.
:23:12. > :23:18.The rice bowl of the Philippines, it may look peaceful and serene, but in
:23:19. > :23:24.October, a powerful typhoon tore through this region. For farmer
:23:25. > :23:31.Antonio Cruz, it was a crushing experience. The third typhoon to
:23:32. > :23:38.destroy his crops in as many months. It's a plight facing thousands of
:23:39. > :23:41.Filipino farmers as more than 20 typhoons devastate agricultural
:23:42. > :23:48.areas across the country each year. Rice is a crucial crop here, as it
:23:49. > :23:51.is across Asia. Once a major exporter, the Philippines has, in
:23:52. > :23:58.recent years, become an importer because of shortages at home. At the
:23:59. > :24:03.international rice institute, this team are trying to change all that.
:24:04. > :24:10.In these greenhouses, researchers have edited the genes from robust
:24:11. > :24:13.rice species to tailor-make varieties which can with stand
:24:14. > :24:17.typhoons and floods. The researchers aren't just working at a molecular
:24:18. > :24:20.level. They're using satellite pictures to understand and map
:24:21. > :24:25.changes that the weather has on rice crops in real time. One of the
:24:26. > :24:30.challenges facing rice farmers is that it's almost impossible for them
:24:31. > :24:36.to get insurance. That's because there simply isn't enough
:24:37. > :24:41.information. With this combination of technologies from the molecular
:24:42. > :24:46.level to the outer space level, is that farmers can grow rice that is
:24:47. > :24:50.tolerant of the very difficult situations and have an insurance
:24:51. > :24:55.product that protects them in case there is a loss they'll be
:24:56. > :24:58.reimbursed. I've got to tell you about Indian scientists
:24:59. > :25:05.investigating whether a man was killed by a meteorite. This happened
:25:06. > :25:10.in the state of Tamil Nadu. It was on the campus of an engineer
:25:11. > :25:13.college. There doesn't seem to be much doubt that an object fell to
:25:14. > :25:18.earth. This is a picture clearly showing us there's a crater. We've
:25:19. > :25:21.heard from the college principal speaking to a local newspaper
:25:22. > :25:25.saying, "I was in the office at that time. We felt a vibration. It went
:25:26. > :25:28.on for nearly a minute. All the students and faculty members came
:25:29. > :25:32.outside and we saw a cloud of dust. Such was the intensities that a
:25:33. > :25:37.water tank exploded, killing the bus driver who'd gone to get a drink."
:25:38. > :25:41.Chief of police has been speaking to local media and saying this is
:25:42. > :25:45.what's been picked up, a small blue stone weighing ten grams. That's now
:25:46. > :25:50.being tested by scientists. If this man was killed by the meteorite, we
:25:51. > :25:53.understand by looking at the international comet quarterly, it
:25:54. > :25:57.would be the first person in 200 years to die that way.
:25:58. > :26:01.I'll speak to you in a couple of minutes..
