:00:12. > :00:18.Hello, I'm Nuala McGovern, this is Outside Source.

:00:19. > :00:20.Scientists in the United States have announced they've

:00:21. > :00:23.They're saying the discovery will usher in a new era

:00:24. > :00:25.for our understanding of the universe.

:00:26. > :00:30.The final member of the armed militia which has occupied a US

:00:31. > :00:33.wildlife sanctuary on the west coast state of Oregon has

:00:34. > :00:36.All four of the remaining occupiers are now in custody.

:00:37. > :00:41.I'll speak to our correspondent with all the latest.

:00:42. > :00:43.Doping in Kenyan athletics - the accusations,

:00:44. > :00:46.the counter-accusations and the denials.

:00:47. > :01:01.And a 94-year-old suspected Nazi guard is on trial in Germany

:01:02. > :01:03.accused of assisting in the murders of 170,000 people at

:01:04. > :01:21.Now to a story we've covered a lot here on Outside Source -

:01:22. > :01:24.the armed occupation of a government building in Oregon

:01:25. > :01:36.The last four occupiers have surrendered.

:01:37. > :01:43.From now to give you a quick reminder, going over to Oregon, and

:01:44. > :01:50.it was the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge, close to the town of Burns.

:01:51. > :01:54.We can speak to James Cook, with incredible developments over the

:01:55. > :02:00.past hour. He is in Los Angeles. Tell us a little bit about those

:02:01. > :02:07.four, and particular that last person who gave themselves up to the

:02:08. > :02:14.police. Yes, it was a pretty dramatic end to this occupation,

:02:15. > :02:20.which has gone on for 41 days. The last man to surrender effectively,

:02:21. > :02:24.to walk out and surrender was a 27-year-old man from high off. In

:02:25. > :02:35.the last iron or two of negotiations -- from Ohio. -- in the last few

:02:36. > :02:42.hours of negotiations, some of it like us live on the Internet, there

:02:43. > :02:46.were tense negotiations, he said liberty or die. One man and wife

:02:47. > :02:52.walked out with their hands on the air and holding the American flag,

:02:53. > :03:03.surrendering to the F VI. A tense but peaceful end, to something that

:03:04. > :03:16.lasted more than one month. And it ended with one death. A man named

:03:17. > :03:21.LaVoy Finicum. And those final hours as they were doing the stand-off. It

:03:22. > :03:26.was interesting to see comments about this stand-off. I built a

:03:27. > :03:34.vision about people supported them or not, put that in context for us.

:03:35. > :03:39.-- some real division. Yes, as David Fry, the last man to surrender, was

:03:40. > :03:45.speaking, there were some abusive comments attacking him and his

:03:46. > :03:49.fellow militia members, were occupying this bird reserve, others

:03:50. > :03:54.were supportive. I am back in Los Angeles but I was in Oregon and in

:03:55. > :03:59.Burns talking to these people, including the man who was shot dead.

:04:00. > :04:04.And there was support for them in terms of what they were looking for,

:04:05. > :04:08.complaining about the distant federal government on the other

:04:09. > :04:13.coast of the United States, in Washington, DC, imposing its will on

:04:14. > :04:18.farmers, ranchers, in the western United States. And a lot of people

:04:19. > :04:24.in this small Oregon town of Burns help that message resonated, but

:04:25. > :04:28.many of them do not agree with the tactics and that taking over as

:04:29. > :04:35.federal property and driving around in federal cars and brandishing

:04:36. > :04:39.weapons in our threatening them -- in a threatening manner, as some

:04:40. > :04:43.people alleged, but the occupier saying they were a peaceful all the

:04:44. > :04:47.way through. Thank you very much, James, for bringing Biddy does that

:04:48. > :04:55.story, also playing out on social media over the past hour or so.

:04:56. > :04:59.Dozens of people are reported to have been killed in a riot

:05:00. > :05:09.and a fire at a prison in the city of Monterrey.

:05:10. > :05:21.It is believed specifically it happened around midnight at the Topo

:05:22. > :05:25.Chico prison. We can see in these images the riot police getting ready

:05:26. > :05:35.and to go into the building. The governor of the state has put the

:05:36. > :05:38.death toll at 52. These images are the police stopping families from

:05:39. > :05:42.entering. Katie Watson has the latest.

:05:43. > :05:44.In addition to 52, 12 people have been injured,

:05:45. > :05:48.Now, there is little detail about how the riot started and why,

:05:49. > :05:51.but witnesses say that they heard shouts and explosions when a fire

:05:52. > :05:52.started, just after midnight on Thursday morning.

:05:53. > :05:55.The authorities said they did have it under control by about 1.30

:05:56. > :05:58.in the morning, but nevertheless, those pictures you see now worried

:05:59. > :06:00.family members, concerned exactly what happened and trying

:06:01. > :06:08.So it's still an unfolding situation, but the latest

:06:09. > :06:14.And with this, it has been an issue in prisons that there has been

:06:15. > :06:17.riots, it's not the first time something like this has

:06:18. > :06:25.A few years ago, in fact in the same state, 42 people died.

:06:26. > :06:27.That was seen as one of the worst in decades,

:06:28. > :06:32.The issue with Mexican prisons is they may well be

:06:33. > :06:38.We've seen with El Chapo, where the most notorious drugs lord

:06:39. > :06:45.escaped several times, so it's not necessarily a fact

:06:46. > :06:47.you don't have good the locks on the doors,

:06:48. > :06:51.And Mexico's prisons have been criticised for being under

:06:52. > :06:53.the influence of cartels, of gang violence, and that is the issue

:06:54. > :06:55.that kicks off these break-outs and riots.

:06:56. > :06:57.The authorities have said that they are discounting

:06:58. > :06:59.a break-out in this, but certainly not been uncommon

:07:00. > :07:11.Thanks to Katie Watson for that. Moving on to sport on Outside

:07:12. > :07:24.Source. We will start with this tweet from Dan Roan. He is talking

:07:25. > :07:29.about the World Anti-Doping Agency which are said Kenny hasn't missed a

:07:30. > :07:42.deadline to prove it is taking decisive action to fight cheating in

:07:43. > :07:47.athletics. -- which has said Kenya. It has been put on a watchlist and

:07:48. > :07:53.could face a banned competing in Rio. Levels of corruption were

:07:54. > :08:09.levelled at sporting officials. We are talking about Iten and Nairobi

:08:10. > :08:11.in Kenya. Dan Roan. -- Dan Roan reported from Iten.

:08:12. > :08:13.It's one of sport's most unique settings.

:08:14. > :08:15.Iten, nestled in the Rift Valley, home to Kenya's champions.

:08:16. > :08:19.For decades, this small town has provided a high-altitude training

:08:20. > :08:21.base to thousands of world-class athletes, many of whom have gone

:08:22. > :08:23.on to establish their country as the dominant force

:08:24. > :08:30.Kenya's prowess was underlined at the World Championships

:08:31. > :08:33.in Beijing last year, when it topped the medal table.

:08:34. > :08:36.1,500 metres winner Asbel Kiprop claiming one of his team's

:08:37. > :08:42.Back in Iten, he is now in training for the Rio Olympics,

:08:43. > :08:46.but doping has cast a shadow over his country's preparations.

:08:47. > :08:51.40 Kenyan athletes have been banned to cheating in the last five years,

:08:52. > :08:54.40 Kenyan athletes have been banned for cheating in the last five years,

:08:55. > :08:56.and Kiprop told me of the damage it's doing.

:08:57. > :08:58.It is a disgrace, especially to the sport and ourselves

:08:59. > :09:03.It is a disgrace to hard-working athletes when an athlete is found

:09:04. > :09:08.to have used performance-enhancing drugs.

:09:09. > :09:12.The BBC has obtained previously unseen secretly-filmed footage

:09:13. > :09:17.of an athlete receiving an injection from a doctor.

:09:18. > :09:20.We cannot verify what substance was, but the athlete, who doesn't

:09:21. > :09:22.want to be identified, told me it was a banned substance.

:09:23. > :09:23.Have you used performance-enhancing drugs?

:09:24. > :09:37.In Kenya, most people are using, so, if you don't use,

:09:38. > :09:45.you will just be training, training, training all year.

:09:46. > :09:48.-- you will just be training, training, training only.

:09:49. > :09:49.In November, athletes staged a protest in Nairobi

:09:50. > :09:51.against the sport's leaders amid corruption allegations.

:09:52. > :09:53.This week, officials had to deny new accusations of extortion,

:09:54. > :09:56.but we spoke to another athlete who said he had been blackmailed

:09:57. > :10:00.by members of the sport's governing body after he failed a drugs test.

:10:01. > :10:01.TRANSLATION: They asked me for 500,000 shillings.

:10:02. > :10:05.I said I couldn't afford to pay, so they told me I would receive

:10:06. > :10:10.The governing body said it couldn't comment as it's under investigation

:10:11. > :10:14.by the International Athletics Federation, but did ask those

:10:15. > :10:18.Kenya's now at serious risk of being dragged into the doping

:10:19. > :10:26.Another of the sport's powerhouse nations, Russia, has already been

:10:27. > :10:27.banned from international competition because of

:10:28. > :10:29.state-sponsored cheating, and now the spotlight

:10:30. > :10:48.The World Anti-Doping Agency has lost patience and said that Ken ya

:10:49. > :10:52.has missed the deadline. It will now be placed on a watch list and the

:10:53. > :10:57.consequences could be severe. I think that is the biggest threat

:10:58. > :11:00.right now, that Kenya would be declared non-compliant should we not

:11:01. > :11:02.meet the expectations. And any non-compliant country,

:11:03. > :11:04.the IOC does have the right in its rules to deny it access

:11:05. > :11:07.to the Olympics, for example? Yesterday, Kenya's top sports

:11:08. > :11:10.officials held last-ditch talks agreeing the need for legislation

:11:11. > :11:13.and funding for a new national anti-doping agency to finally

:11:14. > :11:15.become operational. This is taken to the highest level,

:11:16. > :11:23.so Kenya is serious, and the Kenyan athletes you'll see

:11:24. > :11:25.will be running clean. In a country of limited resources,

:11:26. > :11:28.the temptation to take short cuts is obvious, and the cost

:11:29. > :11:31.of educating and testing Authorities insist that

:11:32. > :11:37.cheating is not systemic, but at a time when sporting

:11:38. > :11:40.integrity is under scrutiny like never before, Kenya

:11:41. > :11:43.is in a race against time to prove The strange story of the dolls

:11:44. > :11:53.in Thailand that are The rail regulator says nearly

:11:54. > :12:08.200,000 train services were cancelled or delayed from

:12:09. > :12:12.April 2013 to December last year. One in ten of them was blamed

:12:13. > :12:15.on staff shortages. The unions blame companies for not

:12:16. > :12:18.recruiting enough drivers. Our transport correspondent

:12:19. > :12:20.Richard Westcott It's the word no-one wants to see

:12:21. > :12:32.on the departures board. Now figures obtained by the BBC show

:12:33. > :12:35.that one in every ten train problems is simply down to a lack

:12:36. > :12:41.of drivers and conductors. That adds up to around 182,000

:12:42. > :12:43.services either late Govia Thameslink had the highest

:12:44. > :12:51.proportion of delays, followed by First Transpennine

:12:52. > :12:55.Express and London Midland. They all say they've taken steps

:12:56. > :13:00.to sort the problem, There's a constant demand to run

:13:01. > :13:05.more trains, which means more drivers, but also the driver

:13:06. > :13:09.population is ageing, along with many of the workforce

:13:10. > :13:12.in the UK, so it's a case of trying to stay one jump ahead of time

:13:13. > :13:16.of the number of extra trains you're running and the number of drivers

:13:17. > :13:20.who are coming up to retirement. It takes nearly a year

:13:21. > :13:24.to learn to do this. Before they let you loose

:13:25. > :13:27.on the real line, you learn every Dave's one of ten drivers who has

:13:28. > :13:34.just passed the training course. I would say it's the theory

:13:35. > :13:40.surrounding train driving. There's a large rulebook you have

:13:41. > :13:43.to remember for emergency situations Chiltern says it plans three years

:13:44. > :13:54.ahead to make sure it has enough drivers to meet

:13:55. > :13:57.the ever-growing demand. The unions blame the companies

:13:58. > :14:00.for failing to plan ahead. But some suggest part of the problem

:14:01. > :14:03.is drivers taking sick leave, It's incredibly unfair,

:14:04. > :14:08.because we build into the agreements we have calculations

:14:09. > :14:12.for average sickness, release for civic duties

:14:13. > :14:14.such as jury service, We build in annual leave

:14:15. > :14:19.and other factors. There should be enough

:14:20. > :14:21.people in every company Britain's railways are

:14:22. > :14:27.growing at a record pace. It could mean yet more staff

:14:28. > :14:31.shortages and delays in the future. This is Outside Source,

:14:32. > :14:44.live from the BBC Newsroom. Scientists in the US

:14:45. > :14:49.have first the first time They're saying the discovery

:14:50. > :14:53.will usher in a new era in our understanding

:14:54. > :15:02.of the universe. Depending on where you are watching

:15:03. > :15:08.decide what you will see next. World News America is taking look

:15:09. > :15:11.at the current tensions with North Korea -

:15:12. > :15:13.following the closing of our Health Editor has been looking

:15:14. > :15:21.at the fallout from the government's decision to impose the terms

:15:22. > :15:23.of a new contract on tens of thousands of junior

:15:24. > :15:25.doctors in England. An Irish newspaper group says

:15:26. > :15:29.it has been warned by police, that threats have been made

:15:30. > :15:31.against a number of journalists Independent News and Media said

:15:32. > :15:35.it was going public to illustrate the danger posed to freedom

:15:36. > :15:38.of speech by organised crime. Chris Buckler has been giving us

:15:39. > :15:40.the background to these threats. Last Friday, there were pictures

:15:41. > :15:44.that came from that boxing weigh-in at the Regency Hotel being held

:15:45. > :15:49.ahead of a proposed boxing match After an armed gang made its way

:15:50. > :15:58.into that hotel and started to shoot inside the room, and in fact

:15:59. > :16:00.they wounded two men On Monday night, there was another

:16:01. > :16:07.shooting in the north of Dublin. It was very clear that the police

:16:08. > :16:10.believed it was a retaliation for that earlier shooting,

:16:11. > :16:13.and that has led to a lot of concerns and fear

:16:14. > :16:16.about gangs in Dublin, groups that are armed,

:16:17. > :16:22.involved in criminality and drugs. And there has of course in Ireland

:16:23. > :16:25.been a huge focus on this in the newspapers, they have been

:16:26. > :16:28.talking a lot about these criminal groups, and now it seems that two,

:16:29. > :16:32.or at least two of the journalists from Independent News and Media

:16:33. > :16:34.have now been threatened. It is one of the biggest

:16:35. > :16:38.newspaper groups in Ireland, and tonight they have released

:16:39. > :16:41.a statement in which they talk about this being an outrageous

:16:42. > :16:47.threat to press freedom. In it, they say that safety

:16:48. > :16:49.of journalists is of paramount importance, and it is disturbing

:16:50. > :16:54.threats of this nature approach as we approach the 20th anniversary

:16:55. > :16:56.death of our colleague Vernonica Guerin who was killed

:16:57. > :16:59.by criminals she was exposing A 94-year old former Nazi SS guard

:17:00. > :17:15.has gone on trial in Germany accused of assisting in the murders

:17:16. > :17:18.of 170,000 people at Auschwitz. Prosecutors believe Reinhold Hanning

:17:19. > :17:20.met Jewish prisoners as they arrived at the camp and may have escorted

:17:21. > :17:24.some to the gas chambers. He denies any involvement

:17:25. > :17:26.in the mass killings. Such cases are not unusual

:17:27. > :17:32.in the recent years. He's an elderly widowed man who ran

:17:33. > :17:38.a cheese shop until he retired. But 70 years ago,

:17:39. > :17:40.this was Reinhold Hanning, His job, prosecutors claim,

:17:41. > :17:47.to meet Jewish prisoners as they arrived at the camp

:17:48. > :17:50.and to escort some of them More than a million people

:17:51. > :17:56.were killed at Auschwitz, yet few have faced justice

:17:57. > :18:01.for their part in mass murder. A recent court ruling means that

:18:02. > :18:04.anyone who worked in the camp, regardless of their role,

:18:05. > :18:06.can now be brought to trial. Prosecutors have only identified

:18:07. > :18:12.a handful of suspects. The justice system is doing

:18:13. > :18:18.that what is possible. And I think these few cases

:18:19. > :18:25.are a signal, a signal for a country and a signal for humanity,

:18:26. > :18:28.and for justice. He's 94, the same age

:18:29. > :18:41.as Reinhold Hanning. Very important to me,

:18:42. > :18:55.because I like to...see him talking, I think, at one point today,

:18:56. > :18:58.you addressed him directly. I addressed him directly.

:18:59. > :19:02.I asked him to tell the truth. The trial is taking place,

:19:03. > :19:06.here in the north-western town of Detmold, near to where

:19:07. > :19:07.Reinhold Hanning It is of course about trying

:19:08. > :19:13.to determine one-man's culpability, This is one of the last

:19:14. > :19:19.opportunities for Germany Because Reinhold Hanning is one

:19:20. > :19:26.of the last surviving Nazis An Iranian news anchor for Press TV

:19:27. > :19:37.says she has fled the country to escape years of repeated

:19:38. > :19:39.sexual harassment She posted an online a recording

:19:40. > :19:50.of a phone conversation in which a man believed

:19:51. > :19:52.to be her boss repeatedly She shared what appeared to be

:19:53. > :19:56.a screen grab from a text exchange in which he asked her

:19:57. > :19:59.to take the audio down. I asked Nicholas Niksadat from

:20:00. > :20:06.BBC Persian to tell us more. Any some sort of sexual undertones

:20:07. > :20:09.would have sparked a lot of debate and caught a lot of attention,

:20:10. > :20:12.but again, here we have a bit of a David and Goliath story,

:20:13. > :20:15.where you have the employee taking on a very mighty

:20:16. > :20:17.organisation and big bosses. And more importantly,

:20:18. > :20:21.you have a TV channel, Press TV, which is at the forefront

:20:22. > :20:27.of the publicity campaign for the Iranian government,

:20:28. > :20:31.for the Iranian state. Obviously, they broadcast

:20:32. > :20:33.in English all over the world, they have a lot of following

:20:34. > :20:36.overseas, and this TV, by definition and by mission,

:20:37. > :20:38.is supposed to give the best of the values and the ideals

:20:39. > :20:43.of the Islamic Republic of Iran. So whether or not the allegations

:20:44. > :20:45.have any substance, it's going to be very embarrassing for Iran

:20:46. > :20:51.and for Press TV in particular. And, with Press TV, they have

:20:52. > :20:57.taken the action of suspending the two members, that there are

:20:58. > :21:02.still allegations against. They were also saying in a statement

:21:03. > :21:07.issued via Iran's government that, although the audio file

:21:08. > :21:10.that we spoke about is not legally admissible, and no complaint has

:21:11. > :21:12.been made, but it is a serious matter, and the relevant officials

:21:13. > :21:15.are investigating the case to clarify the issue,

:21:16. > :21:20.because, as we mentioned, she has actually fled

:21:21. > :21:22.and did not file a case? The statement somehow

:21:23. > :21:27.blames her for not having taken the official, or the routine

:21:28. > :21:31.legal procedures, saying that, even going further to accuse her

:21:32. > :21:36.of having resorted to giving such interviews, to even people that,

:21:37. > :21:40.according to the statement, are against the Islamic Republic,

:21:41. > :21:43.in order to create a scenario. And this scenario is one of those

:21:44. > :21:47.where it is popular with the Iranian establishment, whenever

:21:48. > :21:51.they want to take somebody out. Thanks to him for that. And we

:21:52. > :21:57.finish with this story. When a Thai airline began offering

:21:58. > :22:00.to sell seats for life-sized dolls last month, it brought attention

:22:01. > :22:02.to a strange obsession which appeared to have gripped

:22:03. > :22:04.hundreds of the country's adults. Inside this locked room

:22:05. > :22:09.are the discarded remnants They're called Luk Thep,
