Hello, I'm Ros Atkins, this is Outside Source. | :00:07. | :00:09. | |
Air strikes have destroyed several hospitals and schools. | :00:10. | :00:14. | |
A medical charity says one of its hospitals was deliberately | :00:15. | :00:17. | |
targeted, leaving 40,000 people without medical aid. | :00:18. | :00:23. | |
It's a big week for negotiations between Britain and the EU before | :00:24. | :00:27. | |
a referendum over Britain's membership. | :00:28. | :00:30. | |
This was the warning from the president of the European | :00:31. | :00:32. | |
The risk of break-up is very real because the process is fragile. | :00:33. | :00:58. | |
Handle with care. More details of Pope John Paul II's relationship | :00:59. | :01:00. | |
with a married woman. Lots of interest in a plane having | :01:01. | :01:06. | |
to turn back to Heathrow after a laser pen was | :01:07. | :01:09. | |
shone into the cockpit. And Twitter has found itself | :01:10. | :01:11. | |
at the centre of two stories - one involves Kanye West, | :01:12. | :01:15. | |
the other Stephen Fry. This is a tweet posted | :01:16. | :01:17. | |
by the charity Medicin Sans MSF says it was | :01:18. | :01:37. | |
targeted deliberately. It says it was hit by four rockets | :01:38. | :01:50. | |
and at least eight staff are missing. It's shared this picture of | :01:51. | :01:52. | |
the aftermath of that attack. And it wasn't the only hospital | :01:53. | :01:56. | |
that was hit in Syria. Two others were hit | :01:57. | :02:00. | |
by airstrikes today. These are in Azaz, very close | :02:01. | :02:03. | |
to the Turkish border, One pressing question | :02:04. | :02:06. | |
here is whether these It is always difficult to answer | :02:07. | :02:36. | |
that question but we know... Was targeted at least three times which | :02:37. | :02:42. | |
indicates something and for the two others, I have no information. We | :02:43. | :02:46. | |
did not give the GPS code of this hospital to the Russians and Syrians | :02:47. | :02:56. | |
but those hospitals are well known. They are easy to locate. One of | :02:57. | :03:03. | |
those three hospitals was identified. So everyone is asking, | :03:04. | :03:10. | |
who did this? There are after all a number | :03:11. | :03:12. | |
of countries operating Here's Mark Lowen | :03:13. | :03:14. | |
in Istanbul on this. MSF has blamed the Assad regime for | :03:15. | :03:27. | |
the strike on that hospital in north western Syria. Turkey has blamed | :03:28. | :03:32. | |
Russia for the strike that hit the hospital in as as. The Turkish Prime | :03:33. | :03:37. | |
Minister has said Moscow is acting like a terrorist organisation. It | :03:38. | :03:42. | |
follows a pattern of systematic attacks on health care facilities | :03:43. | :03:48. | |
since the start of the Syrian war. It is said that over 330 medical | :03:49. | :03:52. | |
facilities have been attacked in Syria since the start of the war | :03:53. | :04:03. | |
five years ago. There has been talk of a possible ceasefire in Syria. | :04:04. | :04:09. | |
Syrian President Bashar al-Assad said on Monday any ceasefire did not | :04:10. | :04:13. | |
mean each side had to stop using weapons, and nobody | :04:14. | :04:20. | |
was capable of securing the conditions for one | :04:21. | :04:22. | |
Sebastian Usher, Middle East Editor, BBC World Service. | :04:23. | :04:30. | |
I think that means his main ally Russia should continue doing what it | :04:31. | :04:37. | |
is doing at the moment, which Russia has said it will. They said they | :04:38. | :04:41. | |
will continue to attack rebel positions even if there is a | :04:42. | :04:47. | |
ceasefire. There has of course been a huge amount of debate over what | :04:48. | :04:52. | |
the targets have been with the Russians and today, there is a | :04:53. | :04:56. | |
continuation of that with these hospitals and schools being hit. All | :04:57. | :05:02. | |
reports we have had from the ground and activists and from other | :05:03. | :05:07. | |
international players, has been accusing the Russians of carrying | :05:08. | :05:13. | |
out those attacks. I think that is essentially what President Assad is | :05:14. | :05:18. | |
saying, that the rebels have to stop but the Russians and Syrians don't | :05:19. | :05:23. | |
have to if they feel they are terrorists who will take advantage | :05:24. | :05:27. | |
of what is going on. As things stand, that position is both what | :05:28. | :05:32. | |
President Assad and the Russian dogmatist holding two. We cannot | :05:33. | :05:35. | |
know who attack these hospitals today but hospitals have been | :05:36. | :05:39. | |
attacked on previous occasions. What would be the motivation of anyone, | :05:40. | :05:45. | |
group or country to do that? The motivation in the past, when the | :05:46. | :05:48. | |
Syrian government was indiscriminately attacking areas, | :05:49. | :05:53. | |
was to clear the areas and make no difference between civilian in those | :05:54. | :06:00. | |
areas and fighters. And that lead to total destruction of those areas, | :06:01. | :06:05. | |
and to some extent, it did achieve what they wanted, by driving the | :06:06. | :06:10. | |
rebels out of those areas. I think there is a sense that since the | :06:11. | :06:12. | |
Russians entered the conflict fully in the past few months, with their | :06:13. | :06:16. | |
air strikes, have followed a similar type of method. Using much more | :06:17. | :06:24. | |
sophisticated weapons and it is more targeted. The Russians have denied | :06:25. | :06:27. | |
they are doing this, attacking any civilian targets, that there is a | :06:28. | :06:32. | |
supposition still but it does play into the Syrian government's hands | :06:33. | :06:36. | |
to clear areas of the people living there. A quick word about the UN | :06:37. | :06:43. | |
being in Damascus, where does that fit into the diplomatic activity we | :06:44. | :06:48. | |
have seen in Europe? He is the special envoy trying to get together | :06:49. | :06:53. | |
some kind of... The peace talks he set out a week or two ago, they | :06:54. | :06:59. | |
collapsed, but the process has not finished and last Friday, the talk | :07:00. | :07:03. | |
in Munich was of a ceasefire of some kind coming into force this week. | :07:04. | :07:07. | |
Everything we are seeing at the moment seems to go against that but | :07:08. | :07:11. | |
he is there to talk about that and also, to talk about the other key | :07:12. | :07:14. | |
thing which is part of what the ceasefire aims to do which is how to | :07:15. | :07:20. | |
get aid into the worst hit areas. There is of course complete opposing | :07:21. | :07:23. | |
positions about where that should happen and how it should happen and | :07:24. | :07:27. | |
who will benefit from it. He is trying to square that circle but it | :07:28. | :07:33. | |
is a very difficult thing. Remember watching on BBC News channel, | :07:34. | :07:39. | |
outside of the UK, you can see Sebastian regularly through BBC | :07:40. | :07:42. | |
World Service radio which you can stream at the website. If that is | :07:43. | :07:49. | |
one of the main story today, this is certainly another. | :07:50. | :07:51. | |
The BBC has learned details of a close, long-term friendship | :07:52. | :07:54. | |
between Pope John Paul II and a married female philosopher. | :07:55. | :07:58. | |
And his relationship with this woman, Anna-Teresa Tymieniecka, | :07:59. | :08:05. | |
began in 1973, when he was a Cardinal. | :08:06. | :08:08. | |
"You are a gift from God. If I did not have this conviction. | :08:09. | :08:19. | |
Here are some photos which BBC has been given access to. | :08:20. | :08:25. | |
The two went on camping trips and skiing holidays. | :08:26. | :08:31. | |
There is, I should say no suggestion the Pope broke his vow of celibacy | :08:32. | :08:34. | |
and we know that they continued to see each other after | :08:35. | :08:36. | |
David Willey has covered the Vatican for many years. | :08:37. | :08:45. | |
I was curious to hear his take on this. | :08:46. | :08:53. | |
It is not altogether surprising. The late Pope John Paul was a man who I | :08:54. | :09:03. | |
think, enjoy intense relationships. We knew of his relationships for | :09:04. | :09:08. | |
example with a school friend who lived tier in Rome, who for years, | :09:09. | :09:14. | |
went to visit him at the Vatican. We didn't really know that this | :09:15. | :09:20. | |
extended to women friends who he had known in the days before he was | :09:21. | :09:26. | |
elected Pope in Poland. Clearly, this is something of a surprise | :09:27. | :09:33. | |
because the rather passionate details of their correspondence has | :09:34. | :09:37. | |
come out and these letters have been sold in fact, when this lady died, | :09:38. | :09:45. | |
to the national archive in Warsaw. Inexplicably, they have allowed | :09:46. | :09:49. | |
publication. I think, reading between the lines, the Vatican did | :09:50. | :09:53. | |
everything it could to stop anything leaking out but this was something | :09:54. | :09:59. | |
that the BBC managed to do with people who run the national library | :10:00. | :10:05. | |
and it was the subject of a financial transaction when this lady | :10:06. | :10:10. | |
died a couple of years ago in the united states. When you look at | :10:11. | :10:15. | |
these letters, you can see evidence of great pleasure that John Paul II | :10:16. | :10:21. | |
is taking from the relationship. Is there also evidence he was | :10:22. | :10:23. | |
struggling to maintain that vow of celibacy? I don't think he was | :10:24. | :10:28. | |
struggling but he was very interested in human love. It was one | :10:29. | :10:35. | |
of the subjects which engaged him as a philosopher and as this lady was | :10:36. | :10:39. | |
also engaged in philosophy, they wrote a book together before he came | :10:40. | :10:50. | |
Pope and clearly, they had a sort of professional and rather deep | :10:51. | :10:52. | |
relationship. Don't forget, Pope John Paul wrote poetry about love | :10:53. | :11:00. | |
and he even wrote a book about sexual relations between men and | :11:01. | :11:07. | |
women. It was a subject in which he was deeply interested, although of | :11:08. | :11:11. | |
course, as a priest who had taken vows of celibacy, he wasn't able to | :11:12. | :11:17. | |
have any of these relations himself. But he was passionate, interested in | :11:18. | :11:25. | |
love relationships. This story comes from the BBC | :11:26. | :11:29. | |
panorama programme and if watching in the UK, you can see a 30 minute | :11:30. | :11:34. | |
programme of those letters of John Paul II. Every day this week, we are | :11:35. | :11:42. | |
certain to be covering the ongoing negotiations between David Cameron | :11:43. | :11:45. | |
and his government and the European Union. David Cameron is seeking to | :11:46. | :11:51. | |
reshape our relationship with the European Union ahead of a referendum | :11:52. | :11:54. | |
on whether Britain should remain within the EU. Let me play you this | :11:55. | :12:00. | |
from the President of the European Council, Donald Tusk, with a stark | :12:01. | :12:04. | |
warning of what might happen if Britain were to leave. | :12:05. | :12:11. | |
This is a critical moment. It is high time we started listening to | :12:12. | :12:16. | |
each other's arguments more, than to our own. | :12:17. | :12:24. | |
It is natural in negotiations that positions harden as we get closer | :12:25. | :12:27. | |
to crunch time, but the risk of a break-up is real, | :12:28. | :12:31. | |
because this process is indeed very fragile. | :12:32. | :12:39. | |
And interesting tweet from BBC politics, it definitely worth | :12:40. | :12:43. | |
following if you want to keep up-to-date with the story. It | :12:44. | :12:47. | |
highlights the fact David Cameron is in Paris for talks with Francois | :12:48. | :12:52. | |
Hollande on these reforms on the UK's relationship with the European | :12:53. | :12:53. | |
Union. Ben Wright explained why that | :12:54. | :12:58. | |
meeting is so important. Negotiations have been going on for | :12:59. | :13:06. | |
months among officials and ambassadors and the occasional | :13:07. | :13:09. | |
meeting with David Cameron and other EU leaders. This ultimately is about | :13:10. | :13:13. | |
nailing the deal with the new's heads of government so on Friday, | :13:14. | :13:18. | |
David Cameron, Angela Merkel. Today, he is seeing Francois Hollande. We | :13:19. | :13:23. | |
don't think this was in the diary until this morning. Lily, there is a | :13:24. | :13:30. | |
wrinkle that need ironing out. -- clearly. We suspect it is around | :13:31. | :13:34. | |
this whole issue of the future relationship between countries that | :13:35. | :13:37. | |
have the Europa and those like Britain that do not. That is a clear | :13:38. | :13:44. | |
part of this negotiation. The UK might be looking for some sort of | :13:45. | :13:49. | |
competitive advantage, maybe worried the Eurozone will try to rig the | :13:50. | :13:52. | |
rules in some way that affects the UK. Cameron's arrival in Paris this | :13:53. | :13:58. | |
evening shows there is still a lot of work to do on nailing down the | :13:59. | :14:06. | |
details. Every day on outside source, we will be connecting you to | :14:07. | :14:13. | |
journalists covering this story. In a few minutes time, I will play you | :14:14. | :14:17. | |
this report in full from John Donaldson about a haul of | :14:18. | :14:22. | |
methamphetamine that has been picked up by the police, with over 700 | :14:23. | :14:25. | |
million US dollars. Most psychiatric patients are being | :14:26. | :14:41. | |
failed by the NHS in England according to a report by an | :14:42. | :14:44. | |
independent task force which uncovered poor provision and long | :14:45. | :14:49. | |
waiting times in A departments. David Cameron has promised an extra | :14:50. | :14:51. | |
billion pounds a year to mental health services either year 2021. We | :14:52. | :14:58. | |
have not done enough to end the stigma of mental health. We have | :14:59. | :15:03. | |
focused a lot on physical health and not as a country focused enough on | :15:04. | :15:06. | |
mental health. That is changing, for the first time we had waiting times | :15:07. | :15:12. | |
for mental health treatments. Parity of esteem for mental and physical | :15:13. | :15:19. | |
health. Since I became Prime Minister, we have done much more on | :15:20. | :15:23. | |
the cognitive behavioural therapies, something like three quarters of a | :15:24. | :15:27. | |
million more people have access to those therapies. If you are saying | :15:28. | :15:30. | |
more needs to be done, I would absolutely agree with that. | :15:31. | :15:41. | |
We live in the BBC newsroom. Our lead story as it has been for the | :15:42. | :15:49. | |
past few hours, air strikes have destroyed many hospitals in Syria. | :15:50. | :15:55. | |
MSF says one of its hospitals was deliberately targeted. | :15:56. | :16:00. | |
The former head of Russia's anti-doping agency has died. | :16:01. | :16:03. | |
Two months ago Nikita Kamaev resigned as allegations | :16:04. | :16:07. | |
of state-sponsored cheating in athletics mounted. | :16:08. | :16:11. | |
The agency says he is thought to have suffered a heart attack. | :16:12. | :16:22. | |

These are the latest pictures of a big fire which broke out | :16:34. | :16:36. | |
A number of Bollywood actors had to be evacuated from the stage. | :16:37. | :16:44. | |
Fortunately no-one was injured. BBC News app for more on that. | :16:45. | :16:49. | |
The bosses of some of Europe's biggest steel-makers | :16:50. | :16:54. | |
have been in Brussels - they want urgent help | :16:55. | :16:56. | |
The price of steel has fallen dramatically in the past five years. | :16:57. | :17:13. | |
The steel industry is dominated by China, accounting for almost half of | :17:14. | :17:19. | |
global production. It produced nearly 900 million metric tonnes | :17:20. | :17:24. | |
last year. But as growth in China's economy slows, it has been sending | :17:25. | :17:30. | |
more steel abroad. It exports has surged 61% were as Japan and the EU, | :17:31. | :17:37. | |
have seen marginal changes. The European steel association says more | :17:38. | :17:42. | |
than 5000 jobs have been lost across Europe in recent months. The UK | :17:43. | :17:46. | |
particularly affected. Companies like Tata Steel and red cards laying | :17:47. | :17:52. | |
high electricity prices and cheap steel from China. With more jobs on | :17:53. | :17:58. | |
the line, the took action in January and set provisional duties on | :17:59. | :18:04. | |
Chinese imports between 9.2 and 13%. But many say these measures don't go | :18:05. | :18:12. | |
far enough. The steel industry employs 328,000 people in Europe | :18:13. | :18:15. | |
with thousands of these jobs at risk from cheap, Chinese imports. Thank | :18:16. | :18:19. | |
you to Tanya for that. Bad news for the Japanese economy - | :18:20. | :18:21. | |
it contracted in the final three This was worse than had been | :18:22. | :18:24. | |
predicted. The reason this is getting a lot | :18:25. | :18:30. | |
of attention is if you take these quarterly figures - | :18:31. | :18:33. | |
and project them across a year - that would see the economy | :18:34. | :18:36. | |
shrink by 1.4%. All of which leaves - Shinzo Abe, | :18:37. | :18:39. | |
the Japanese Prime Minister His plan to revive the economy | :18:40. | :18:42. | |
is so high profile it's got Here's Rupert | :18:43. | :18:47. | |
Wingfield-Hayes in Toyko. We are three years into this | :18:48. | :19:12. | |
so-called Abb-economics and we are basically back where we have | :19:13. | :19:16. | |
started. What was the last three years for? What has gone wrong? | :19:17. | :19:22. | |
There is the domestic component in Japan, what is going on with the | :19:23. | :19:26. | |
domestic economy? Massive amounts of quantitative easing has pushed up | :19:27. | :19:31. | |
the stock market, helping banks rebuild their balance sheets but it | :19:32. | :19:34. | |
is not fed through to ordinary Japanese consumers and consumer | :19:35. | :19:37. | |
demand has remained flat which is a big reason why we are seeing these | :19:38. | :19:42. | |
GDP figures. The value of the Japanese yen was pushed down by | :19:43. | :19:47. | |
about 25% over the last three years which has helped exporters a lot. We | :19:48. | :19:51. | |
were seeing exports booming last year, companies like Toyota making | :19:52. | :19:55. | |
record profits but in the last six months, that has dropped off | :19:56. | :19:59. | |
dramatically, largely because of what is happening in China. The | :20:00. | :20:02. | |
world economy is slowing down and in the last month, dramatic | :20:03. | :20:06. | |
strengthening of the Japanese yen, it is not because of anything going | :20:07. | :20:10. | |
on in Tokyo, it is because there is a lack of confidence around the | :20:11. | :20:13. | |
world and when that happens, investors rushed to what they call | :20:14. | :20:17. | |
safe havens. The yen is still considered a safe haven and because | :20:18. | :20:21. | |
of that, it has gone up dramatically in value and now Japanese products | :20:22. | :20:23. | |
cost more. Now to the BBC News | :20:24. | :20:25. | |
series, CEO Secrets. We've got interviews | :20:26. | :20:29. | |
with lots of business leaders - YouTube, Fifa and Metro | :20:30. | :20:33. | |
Bank to name a few - giving the advice they wish they had | :20:34. | :20:36. | |
when they started out. This time it's EasyJet boss | :20:37. | :20:42. | |
Carolyn McCall's turn. The most important thing really is | :20:43. | :20:51. | |
to have self-confidence. Really know yourself, know what you are good and | :20:52. | :20:56. | |
not so good at. Think about when you can fill those gaps and play to your | :20:57. | :21:05. | |
strengths. Get to know people, whether that is inside your own | :21:06. | :21:09. | |
company or whether it is your customers. You learn so much, far | :21:10. | :21:13. | |
more than you could ever find in a book or document, about what you can | :21:14. | :21:21. | |
do to improve your business. Really find something you love doing | :21:22. | :21:25. | |
because if you love doing it, people really enjoyed working with you and | :21:26. | :21:28. | |
they want you to be on your team, they want to involve you in projects | :21:29. | :21:32. | |
so actually, that enjoyment and love of what you do is critical. She will | :21:33. | :21:41. | |
be paying close attention to this story. | :21:42. | :21:42. | |
A Virgin Atlantic plane had to return to London | :21:43. | :21:44. | |
because of a laser was shone into the cockpit. | :21:45. | :21:47. | |
It was en route from London to New York. | :21:48. | :21:50. | |
But TWITTER@flightradar as you can see from this tweet from flight | :21:51. | :21:53. | |
radar, it turned around over Ireland. | :21:54. | :21:56. | |
This is a recording of one of the crew speaking to air traffic | :21:57. | :21:59. | |
We have a medical situation with the pilot. We will return to Heathrow. | :22:00. | :22:16. | |
There were 250 people on board, this is one of them describing what | :22:17. | :22:20. | |
happened. There was no drama, it was very calm, no panic. It went as | :22:21. | :22:30. | |
smoothly as it could, I think. There was an ambulance right there when we | :22:31. | :22:35. | |
landed. I noticed it as I had the window seat. The paramedics came on | :22:36. | :22:43. | |
board. They just explained what happened, we were not that far into | :22:44. | :22:46. | |
the flight and there were no disruptions to the plane or the | :22:47. | :22:52. | |
service. The head steward, I forget what they call them, that they did | :22:53. | :22:58. | |
an amazing job. Last year, over a thousand incidents involving laser | :22:59. | :23:02. | |
pens being pointed at a craft just in England and Wales. This is why | :23:03. | :23:07. | |
that is so dangerous. This is a clip of the British airline pilots | :23:08. | :23:15. | |
association. It is distracting, it affects your vision and blunts the | :23:16. | :23:19. | |
instrument panel. It is tempting to look into the light so discount | :23:20. | :23:23. | |
intuitive, you have to look away from the light. It creates Flash | :23:24. | :23:30. | |
line must which is not only distracting but it is also very | :23:31. | :23:34. | |
worrying for the individual pilot. It is an offence to do this and it | :23:35. | :23:38. | |
carries a maximum prison sentence of five years. The trouble is, the | :23:39. | :23:42. | |
people who have done this could have come from anywhere in the | :23:43. | :23:45. | |
surrounding area so what we have been calling for our lasers to be | :23:46. | :23:50. | |
classified as an offensive weapon. Next, a report from John Donaldson | :23:51. | :23:56. | |
in Australia. Police say they have made one of the biggest drug busts | :23:57. | :24:00. | |
in the country's history. Seizing 700 million US dollars worth of | :24:01. | :24:02. | |
methamphetamine. In one of the biggest drug | :24:03. | :24:07. | |
raids in Australian history, Today, they released footage | :24:08. | :24:11. | |
of the moment the suspects' And at a news conference, | :24:12. | :24:16. | |
officers declared a major victory in Australia's | :24:17. | :24:21. | |
so-called "War on ice". As a tool for drug smuggling, | :24:22. | :24:25. | |
padded bras seem an unlikely device, but cleverly hidden inside the gel | :24:26. | :24:30. | |
inserts were hundreds of millions of pounds worth of | :24:31. | :24:33. | |
liquid methamphetamine. The joint Organised Crime Group | :24:34. | :24:37. | |
operation began in December last year when the Australian Border | :24:38. | :24:41. | |
Force examined a shipping container That shipping container was found | :24:42. | :24:45. | |
to contain gel bra inserts and hidden inside those gel bra | :24:46. | :24:51. | |
inserts was 190 litres This led police to raid | :24:52. | :24:54. | |
warehouses in Sydney, where they found a further 500 | :24:55. | :25:02. | |
litres of the drug disguised as glue Australia has one of the highest | :25:03. | :25:05. | |
rates of methamphetamine use in the world, much of it smuggled | :25:06. | :25:11. | |
down through Asia from China. This is a devastating blow | :25:12. | :25:14. | |
for the organised criminal gangs It shows you if you do target | :25:15. | :25:18. | |
the Australian market, we have the powers and | :25:19. | :25:24. | |
the resources to prosecute you. In this case, because of the large | :25:25. | :25:28. | |
quantities of these drugs, the people involved could be | :25:29. | :25:30. | |
imprisoned for life. Police say four men from Hong Kong | :25:31. | :25:33. | |
have been arrested and charged It is always with me mentioning that | :25:34. | :25:48. | |
