This is Outside Source live from the BBC newsroom. | :00:20. | :00:21. | |
Early polling is putting Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders ahead. | :00:22. | :00:36. | |
We will speak to our correspondent in Johannesburg. | :00:37. | :00:42. | |
South Africa's highest court is deciding whether President Zuma | :00:43. | :00:44. | |
should pay back millions of dollars of government money that was spent | :00:45. | :00:47. | |
Questions on what happened in Germany. | :00:48. | :00:53. | |
If you are online, you can contact us. Richard will live. -- will join | :00:54. | :01:04. | |
me live. The train crash in Germany happened | :01:05. | :01:12. | |
south-east of Munich. Now's a chance to get your questions | :01:13. | :01:15. | |
answered on what happened. Richard Westcott is our | :01:16. | :01:26. | |
Transport Correspondent. I do not know if my expectations are | :01:27. | :01:39. | |
correct but I am surprised we do not have any detail on what might have | :01:40. | :01:43. | |
gone wrong. It is confusing because normally if it is fairly obvious, | :01:44. | :01:47. | |
you learn quickly and you can see what roughly has happened. These | :01:48. | :01:52. | |
strains have got safety systems designed to come on if humans make | :01:53. | :01:57. | |
mistakes. This has not happened and it is impossible to say if that is a | :01:58. | :02:03. | |
human error or safety system error or a combination. I have sat and | :02:04. | :02:07. | |
watched drivers being trained and seen these systems in action. You go | :02:08. | :02:11. | |
to fast and buzzers go off and the train automatically slows down. You | :02:12. | :02:15. | |
go up as a red light and drones on the brakes automatically. Buses and | :02:16. | :02:21. | |
lights go off. You can override the systems and it is not easy and why | :02:22. | :02:27. | |
would you want to? It is confusing because it did have systems in | :02:28. | :02:31. | |
place. The trains did not slow down or react. They were coming round a | :02:32. | :02:37. | |
bend with trees in the way, the Germans say neither slowed down. | :02:38. | :02:42. | |
They clearly did not see it coming. Would it be normal for a single | :02:43. | :02:46. | |
track to be shared by trains in each direction? That is quite normal, you | :02:47. | :02:51. | |
get passing loops and you pull over to the side and into the station and | :02:52. | :02:55. | |
the other train goes through. They talk to commuters used to seeing | :02:56. | :02:58. | |
that every day. They wait at the station for three minutes, they see | :02:59. | :03:03. | |
their train coming through. They described how did not happen. They | :03:04. | :03:07. | |
waited a certain amount of time and the train did not come through. It | :03:08. | :03:12. | |
is common and that is why they have safety systems, they have a good | :03:13. | :03:16. | |
safety across Europe and in Germany so it is as a prize. It is as if | :03:17. | :03:22. | |
European rail travel is in a situation with no crashes and safety | :03:23. | :03:27. | |
systems have become that effective, but not yet. We are getting used to | :03:28. | :03:32. | |
it and the safest country in Europe is Britain. One fatality for a | :03:33. | :03:36. | |
passenger in the person and seven was the last in the UK. The -- in | :03:37. | :03:42. | |
2007. The Netherlands is behind bars. But Germany has a good record | :03:43. | :03:48. | |
because of these safety systems. Thank you very much. I did not know | :03:49. | :03:53. | |
Britain has the best safety record on the trains and the railways in | :03:54. | :03:56. | |
Europe. We spoke a lot about last month's | :03:57. | :03:59. | |
BBC and BuzzFeed investigation Two umpires have been banned by | :04:00. | :04:04. | |
the International Tennis Federation, and four more are being | :04:05. | :04:09. | |
investigated over Here's our BBC Tennis | :04:10. | :04:11. | |
Correspondent, Russell Fuller. Can you tell us more about what the | :04:12. | :04:28. | |
officials may have done wrong? This has been brought to light after an | :04:29. | :04:32. | |
investigation by the Guardian and many details have been confirmed | :04:33. | :04:37. | |
today by the ITF. They have confirmed that two officials have | :04:38. | :04:44. | |
been found guilty of offences. Once suspended for life and one suspended | :04:45. | :04:47. | |
for 12 months. They have given more details about what they have been | :04:48. | :04:53. | |
said to have done. It is complex. This is what they have announced | :04:54. | :04:57. | |
publicly for the first time, two gentleman in question. One is a man | :04:58. | :05:04. | |
from Kazakhstan he was decertified for life in February to June, | :05:05. | :05:09. | |
according to the ITF, for contacting another official on Facebook in an | :05:10. | :05:15. | |
attempt to manipulate the scoring of matches. The allegation in the | :05:16. | :05:18. | |
newspaper report is that when an umpire is officiating, a punch the | :05:19. | :05:23. | |
school into a tablet. In front of them. The suggestion is the punching | :05:24. | :05:30. | |
in of the information was delayed and therefore anybody who was | :05:31. | :05:33. | |
watching the match my in the stadium would be able to see the future in | :05:34. | :05:39. | |
many ways because they would have the information before the rest of | :05:40. | :05:42. | |
the world received it. Once that information is punched into the | :05:43. | :05:47. | |
tablet, it is then sent to bookmakers and also the live | :05:48. | :05:51. | |
squirrel websites giving people information around the world. And | :05:52. | :05:57. | |
the other gentleman is a man from Croatia who has been suspended for | :05:58. | :06:01. | |
12 months from August last year four, sending information on the | :06:02. | :06:05. | |
physical well-being of a player to a coach during a tournament and | :06:06. | :06:08. | |
regularly logging on a betting account in which bets were placed on | :06:09. | :06:14. | |
tennis matches. That is what has happened. It surprises me and I did | :06:15. | :06:18. | |
not know one of these gentlemen were suspended last year. Inspiring seat | :06:19. | :06:23. | |
is the watchword in international set but -- International sports, are | :06:24. | :06:29. | |
you surprised we weren't told? -- transparency. It becomes opaque | :06:30. | :06:33. | |
because we know the tennis integrity unit which normally looks into | :06:34. | :06:38. | |
issues of this kind on behalf of all the tennis governing bodies had | :06:39. | :06:46. | |
banned one player for life. But we did not know about these two further | :06:47. | :06:51. | |
cases. This is because they were investigated not specifically under | :06:52. | :06:54. | |
the tennis integrity unit's rules but under the rules of the ITF's | :06:55. | :07:01. | |
code of conduct. Until January this year, any sanctions were not allowed | :07:02. | :07:05. | |
to be made public. They have made those public and they have said two | :07:06. | :07:10. | |
further officials are currently under investigation. That is | :07:11. | :07:13. | |
progress. Before the BBC allegations, not of this would have | :07:14. | :07:18. | |
come out but it underlines the greater need for transparency and is | :07:19. | :07:22. | |
one of the things being addressed. This Independent panel set up in the | :07:23. | :07:27. | |
light of the BBC investigation does have as part of its remit making a | :07:28. | :07:32. | |
decision as to whether the sport, the tennis integrity unit, should be | :07:33. | :07:37. | |
more transparent. And if they make recommendations, the governing | :07:38. | :07:40. | |
bodies have said they will implement and financed those entirely. Thank | :07:41. | :07:44. | |
you very much, it is complex but important. | :07:45. | :07:46. | |
Liverpool is meeting West Ham in a fourth-round FA cup replay. | :07:47. | :07:50. | |
Let's get the latest from BBC Sport's Olly Foster. | :07:51. | :07:54. | |
1-1 last time, what is happening? Is 1-1. Eight minutes of injury time | :07:55. | :08:04. | |
before extra time and possibly penalties. Ten days ago, this was a | :08:05. | :08:13. | |
stinker of a fourth round tie. 0-0 at Anfield, very forgettable. But | :08:14. | :08:18. | |
Jurgen Klopp also had his appendix out ten days ago. He missed the | :08:19. | :08:22. | |
Premier league match against Sunderland and has been subdued. He | :08:23. | :08:25. | |
said he will not jump up and stand in the dugout but so much has gone | :08:26. | :08:29. | |
on, a completely different match. Two wonderful goals. West Ham took | :08:30. | :08:35. | |
the lead before half-time. Mikhail Antonio with a wonderful side footed | :08:36. | :08:38. | |
volley at the far post. And clever free kick after the break from | :08:39. | :08:44. | |
Philippe Coutinho who is quite close to The Edge of the box. Does he get | :08:45. | :08:50. | |
it over? He is very close. He slid it underneath, the world jumped and | :08:51. | :08:54. | |
it went into the corner. But the sides have hit the woodwork and it | :08:55. | :08:59. | |
looks like it will go to extra time. Blackburn Rovers awaiting the winner | :09:00. | :09:04. | |
of Best and the fifth round ties, the last 16 of the FA Cup, is the | :09:05. | :09:11. | |
weekend after next. My word, these two making up for that terrible tie | :09:12. | :09:15. | |
in the first game at Anfield. Glad to hear it. And you can follow that, | :09:16. | :09:20. | |
the BBC sport website. There have been violent | :09:21. | :09:25. | |
clashes in Hong Kong. On one side, the authorities are | :09:26. | :09:27. | |
trying to clear unlicenced hawkers. On the other, activists | :09:28. | :09:35. | |
are trying to stop them. The protest quickly is being called | :09:36. | :09:37. | |
the #FishballRevolution - that's because the | :09:38. | :09:40. | |
hawkers sell them. Intense clashes between police | :09:41. | :09:44. | |
and demonstrators on the first The protesters had gathered | :09:45. | :09:51. | |
to support unlicensed food vendors who normally sell their wares | :09:52. | :09:57. | |
in the pedestrian area of the busy commercial district Moan Kok | :09:58. | :09:59. | |
during the holiday season. In past years, officials have | :10:00. | :10:07. | |
tolerated the practice, but this time, they decided | :10:08. | :10:10. | |
to remove them, sparking After hours of clashes, | :10:11. | :10:12. | |
this officer, in footage obtained from broadcaster Cable TV, | :10:13. | :10:22. | |
is shown to be pulling out his gun and firing several | :10:23. | :10:29. | |
warning shots in the air. The clashes continued well | :10:30. | :10:32. | |
into the morning hours. At least three suspects, | :10:33. | :10:35. | |
including one member of a pro-democracy political party, | :10:36. | :10:38. | |
have been arrested. Hong Kong's top official has | :10:39. | :10:41. | |
strongly condemned the chaos. The damage that was caused on public | :10:42. | :10:48. | |
properties and acts of arson and injuries of police officers, | :10:49. | :10:51. | |
including those already injured on the ground, seriously | :10:52. | :10:57. | |
jeopardising the safety of officers and other | :10:58. | :10:59. | |
people at the site. By mid-morning, authorities secured | :11:00. | :11:07. | |
the area and clean-up crews are removing the debris and remains | :11:08. | :11:09. | |
of numerous fires. The city is again on alert | :11:10. | :11:21. | |
against another potential flash point between police | :11:22. | :11:23. | |
and demonstrators who say they are only trying to defend | :11:24. | :11:25. | |
an important local tradition. Juliana Liu, BBC News, | :11:26. | :11:27. | |
Hong Kong. More background through the BBC News | :11:28. | :11:40. | |
website. I am looking forward to this report. | :11:41. | :11:41. | |
We meet the world's oldest power-lifter - | :11:42. | :11:43. | |
he's 93 and shows no sign of slowing down. | :11:44. | :11:47. | |
I promised you, you will be seriously impressed. We will have | :11:48. | :11:53. | |
that in seven minutes. They're sick and they're | :11:54. | :11:56. | |
vulnerable, and yet 500 people a month with mental health | :11:57. | :11:58. | |
problems in England are being sent more than 30 miles | :11:59. | :12:00. | |
from their home for treatment. The author of an independent inquiry | :12:01. | :12:03. | |
said the practice was unacceptable I knew I needed help, | :12:04. | :12:06. | |
I wasn't myself at all. I had a newborn baby and I couldn't | :12:07. | :12:18. | |
even look after myself, Three months after Daniel's | :12:19. | :12:21. | |
birth, Sinead Willis Feeling overwhelmed, | :12:22. | :12:26. | |
hopeless, she sought help. But no hospital beds | :12:27. | :12:34. | |
were available locally in York, so she was sent | :12:35. | :12:36. | |
to Northumberland, 100 miles away. I felt totally isolated and lost | :12:37. | :12:39. | |
and just stunned that I was there. Nothing familiar, I didn't know | :12:40. | :12:42. | |
anyone. If I had been in York, | :12:43. | :12:45. | |
I would have had family and friends to visit | :12:46. | :12:48. | |
and support me and encourage The mother and baby unit | :12:49. | :12:50. | |
in York closed in 2010, Last October, the whole | :12:51. | :13:01. | |
hospital was shut down, inspectors closing it after finding | :13:02. | :13:05. | |
it unfit for purpose. The closure meant there are no acute | :13:06. | :13:09. | |
NHS hospital beds in York. Since October, nearly 100 patients | :13:10. | :13:16. | |
have had to go elsewhere to get essential care, forced to travel | :13:17. | :13:19. | |
in moments of crisis. The report today estimates that each | :13:20. | :13:25. | |
month, 500 patients travel more Research found that one patient had | :13:26. | :13:28. | |
been taken from Bristol to Livingston, 370 miles, | :13:29. | :13:35. | |
another from Cumbria For decades, the NHS has been | :13:36. | :13:42. | |
closing psychiatric wards, but demand is on the rise | :13:43. | :13:48. | |
and patients are being Ministers have not committed | :13:49. | :13:50. | |
to ending the practice, as the report | :13:51. | :14:01. | |
recommends, but in the Commons, We want to reduce out of area | :14:02. | :14:03. | |
placements and the NHS is working on that to move to a definitive | :14:04. | :14:07. | |
target to reduce that and hopefully Sinead Willis has fully recovered | :14:08. | :14:11. | |
and now campaigns for local mother and baby units, | :14:12. | :14:14. | |
committed to ensuring no other families are split by poor | :14:15. | :14:16. | |
mental health provision. This is Outside Source live | :14:17. | :14:32. | |
from the BBC newsroom. At least ten people have died | :14:33. | :14:34. | |
and many more have been injured after two passenger trains collided | :14:35. | :14:39. | |
in the German state of Bavaria. We do not know the reason for the | :14:40. | :14:48. | |
accident. As you'd expect, World News America | :14:49. | :14:53. | |
will have everything you need And the News at Ten is looking | :14:54. | :14:55. | |
towards the second junior doctor Our Health Editor will | :14:56. | :15:04. | |
have all the latest. The country's highest court | :15:05. | :15:15. | |
is deciding whether President Zuma should pay back millions of dollars | :15:16. | :15:25. | |
of government money that was spent But many more buildings and the area | :15:26. | :15:28. | |
is significantly bigger. The official report discussed | :15:29. | :16:15. | |
in court heard it helped There was a new amphitheatre. And we | :16:16. | :16:34. | |
were also told about a visitors' centre, to the side of the | :16:35. | :16:39. | |
amphitheatre. There was also an animal pen, picked out as an example | :16:40. | :16:43. | |
of no attention to cost effectiveness. | :16:44. | :16:47. | |
A swimming pool that cost more than $300,000, | :16:48. | :16:52. | |
also supposed to be a resevoir to put out fires. | :16:53. | :17:01. | |
Nomsa Maseko in Johannesburg has been telling me when we might get | :17:02. | :17:04. | |
We still do not know when we will get the ruling because judgment has | :17:05. | :17:16. | |
been reserved, but we could get it in the next couple of weeks. 11 | :17:17. | :17:21. | |
judges stand at the Constitutional Court and they all need to make | :17:22. | :17:26. | |
recommendations and the ruling could be divided and not anonymous. So we | :17:27. | :17:33. | |
are likely, it is likely to take a couple more weeks before we find out | :17:34. | :17:37. | |
what the court is going to run. We also heard from the lawyers of | :17:38. | :17:42. | |
President Jacob Zuma who says the President is now conceding the | :17:43. | :17:46. | |
report by the public protector is binding and he will comply. But | :17:47. | :17:51. | |
presumably is not about paying back the money, it is also about paying | :17:52. | :17:56. | |
back politics and this President's time in office. Correct, you heard | :17:57. | :18:03. | |
from the opposition political party, the EFF and the Democratic Alliance, | :18:04. | :18:07. | |
they do not just want President Zuma the plague -- to pay back some of | :18:08. | :18:12. | |
the money for refurbishment, they want the court to rule on the powers | :18:13. | :18:16. | |
of the Public protector. President Zuma had always said the findings | :18:17. | :18:23. | |
made by the public protector when the recommendations that were not | :18:24. | :18:27. | |
binding. But there was a U-turn from the President today and he said he | :18:28. | :18:33. | |
would pay back the money. We also heard from the President that he is | :18:34. | :18:36. | |
refusing to concede the allegation that he also breached the | :18:37. | :18:41. | |
constitution. Because if he were to do that, that would leave ground for | :18:42. | :18:46. | |
him to be impeached. One hour of international news here and we have | :18:47. | :18:52. | |
just heard from South Africa. A report from Denmark in a moment. | :18:53. | :18:54. | |
Next, the Japan. Japan's whaling fleet is reported | :18:55. | :18:57. | |
to have begun catching Minki Whales That is in defiance | :18:58. | :18:59. | |
of an international court ruling. One of the key justifications | :19:00. | :19:06. | |
by Japan is that this is a centuries-old | :19:07. | :19:09. | |
part of its culture. Our Tokyo correspondent | :19:10. | :19:11. | |
Rupert Wingfield Hayes has been There is nowhere else like Tokyo's | :19:12. | :19:13. | |
famously chaotic fishmarket, which is by far the | :19:14. | :19:21. | |
biggest in the world. That's because Japan | :19:22. | :19:26. | |
is still the world's biggest But I have come to find whale meat, | :19:27. | :19:28. | |
and this woman is my guide. In this vast market, | :19:29. | :19:39. | |
there are only two small stands that Today, there is very | :19:40. | :19:47. | |
little for sale. This is Minke whale meat, and this | :19:48. | :19:49. | |
is from endangered fin whale. The owner tells me he sells | :19:50. | :19:58. | |
about 20kg a day - TRANSLATION: The fact is, | :19:59. | :20:00. | |
Japanese people don't eat whale meat Japan gets at most 4,000 tons | :20:01. | :20:05. | |
of whalemeat per year but even as the number | :20:06. | :20:21. | |
of whales goes down, The Japanese Government says whale | :20:22. | :20:24. | |
hunting has been part of Japanese The truth is, Japan only | :20:25. | :20:28. | |
began large-scale hunting of whales in the Antarctic | :20:29. | :20:33. | |
after the Second World War, when this country | :20:34. | :20:36. | |
was hungry and they But as soon as Japan became rich | :20:37. | :20:38. | |
in the 1970s and '80s, people here lost their | :20:39. | :20:42. | |
appetite for whalemeat, and today, only a tiny percentage | :20:43. | :20:48. | |
of people continue to eat it. People like my old friend, Kato, | :20:49. | :20:55. | |
who grew up in western Japan and as a child loved | :20:56. | :21:02. | |
eating this, but It is with some trepidation that | :21:03. | :21:04. | |
I take my first mouthful Initially, it feels like you're | :21:05. | :21:23. | |
eating steak, but... Much stronger flavour, | :21:24. | :21:35. | |
very gamey, quite chewy. It is certainly not | :21:36. | :21:41. | |
what I would call delicious, The last time he ate whalemeat | :21:42. | :21:43. | |
was three years ago. I don't need to catch whales any | :21:44. | :21:50. | |
more because there is no custom Obviously, beef steak | :21:51. | :21:53. | |
is much better than that And yet Japan is back in | :21:54. | :22:12. | |
the Antarctic hunting whales again. This annual hunt cost Japanese | :22:13. | :22:28. | |
taxpayers tens of millions of dollars, but it has nothing to do | :22:29. | :22:30. | |
with Japanese culture. Rupert Wingfield-Hayes, | :22:31. | :22:37. | |
BBC News, in Tokyo. Lovely story now about a man | :22:38. | :22:46. | |
