Hello, I'm Ros Atkins, this is Outside Source.

:00:09.:00:09.

Turkish and EU leaders have been meeting all day to try and agree

:00:10.:00:13.

new plans to respond to the migrant crisis.

:00:14.:00:16.

The latest we are hearing from Brussels is that there is no

:00:17.:00:20.

agreement yet. While that's happening in Brussels,

:00:21.:00:22.

the number of migrants stuck We'll hear from Christian Fraser

:00:23.:00:24.

on the Greece-Macedonia border. We will report on the big story of

:00:25.:00:36.

the day in the sporting world, Maria Sharapova has admitted to failing a

:00:37.:00:39.

drugs test in the Australian open, we will play some of that statement

:00:40.:00:44.

she made an hour ago. If you have questions about the stories we are

:00:45.:00:48.

covering, if you use this hashtag, we will pick up on your comments.

:00:49.:01:02.

And the conflicts contributing to it. EU and Turkish leaders have met

:01:03.:01:17.

up in Brussels. A statement coming through, this button means we can

:01:18.:01:23.

access the news agency copy coming in.

:01:24.:01:31.

It seems a deal will be made today. No doubt negotiations will go on.

:01:32.:01:36.

Many of those arriving into the EU are coming from Syria. Many people

:01:37.:01:42.

have been living with a conflict that has reached a five-year mark.

:01:43.:01:46.

There is rarely good news coming from this.

:01:47.:01:49.

It's one of the opposition groups confirming it'll go to Geneva

:01:50.:01:53.

Remarkably a 'cessation of hostilities' in Syria has

:01:54.:02:03.

for the most part held over the last 10 days.

:02:04.:02:10.

But control of the country is still incredibly complicated -

:02:11.:02:12.

You can see by all of these different colours, these areas are

:02:13.:02:22.

controlled by different groups. Some by the government, it illustrates

:02:23.:02:26.

how complex the situation is. It will not be resolved easily or any

:02:27.:02:27.

time soon. Lyse Doucet has reported on this

:02:28.:02:29.

conflict throughout. Lyse is back in Damascus -

:02:30.:02:31.

this is her latest report. This is the quietest period

:02:32.:02:34.

that Syrians have seen It doesn't mean there

:02:35.:02:40.

are not violations - This is an agreement where the most

:02:41.:02:50.

extremist groups here, including the so-called

:02:51.:02:54.

Islamic State, the Al-Qaeda linked Nusra front, are not

:02:55.:02:56.

part of this deal. But this is giving a real

:02:57.:02:58.

desperately needed respite. Not just for the people

:02:59.:03:00.

here in central Damascus, But in rebel held strongholds,

:03:01.:03:03.

some of which are just But it will take a lot more

:03:04.:03:06.

than this to convince Syrians that there is a future

:03:07.:03:11.

for them here. They could be forgiven

:03:12.:03:13.

for being deeply sceptical because they have seen

:03:14.:03:15.

so many broken promises Most Syrians, I think,

:03:16.:03:18.

for this uprising would last a year Maybe two years, three years,

:03:19.:03:22.

four years, and now it has gone into the fifth year,

:03:23.:03:27.

a war of our time - not just a Syrian war,

:03:28.:03:29.

a war which is drawn in the region, of course all of Europe

:03:30.:03:33.

with its migration crisis, as well as the rising threat

:03:34.:03:35.

of the so-called Islamic State. It is everyone's war now

:03:36.:03:38.

and it is going to take a lot of players to try to resolve

:03:39.:03:42.

it, hence the reason why families are hedging their bets

:03:43.:03:44.

and heading to Europe The terrible cost of this war has

:03:45.:03:46.

been well-documented. Coming on for 5 million

:03:47.:03:57.

people have fled abroad. And while the majority live

:03:58.:04:09.

in neighbouring countries like Jordan, Lebanon and Turkey -

:04:10.:04:13.

thousands try to head into Europe. Those who do go to Turkey, some seem

:04:14.:04:26.

to move further, across the waters into Greece, most aim to enter

:04:27.:04:32.

central and northern Europe in time. It has become complicated because of

:04:33.:04:36.

what is happening on the border between Greece and Macedonia,

:04:37.:04:40.

Macedonia has restricted the flow of migrants, causing back-up on the

:04:41.:04:42.

border. About 14,000 are thought

:04:43.:04:46.

to be stuck at Idomeni. He's been telling me what conditions

:04:47.:04:48.

are normally like there. People would be right now

:04:49.:04:56.

lighting their campfires, huddling round trying to keep

:04:57.:04:58.

warm, but as you can see tonight we have had

:04:59.:05:00.

torrential downpour here, Just at my feet here you can see

:05:01.:05:03.

the rivers of water which are now This was a miserable place

:05:04.:05:09.

in the sunshine this morning. No way for them

:05:10.:05:13.

to keep the tent dry. There are three and four people

:05:14.:05:18.

to each of these tents. On the road here, if I just

:05:19.:05:25.

walk across this puddle, you can still see people walking

:05:26.:05:28.

up and down the road, and that is because the food tents,

:05:29.:05:31.

the food stations, are further down here, so they are queueing

:05:32.:05:34.

without proper rain clothes, in the rain,

:05:35.:05:36.

trying to get a cup of soup, a roll, something to eat

:05:37.:05:38.

for the evening, but then when they get back to the tents

:05:39.:05:41.

of course there is no way This was really a camp that was only

:05:42.:05:44.

built for 2000 people and now there are 14,000,

:05:45.:05:49.

mostly Syrians, living in the camp. The UNHCR says 60%

:05:50.:05:52.

of them are women and children, and I was talking

:05:53.:05:55.

to the parents of very Already we are starting

:05:56.:05:57.

to see sickness. Imagine what it is going to be

:05:58.:06:01.

like tomorrow amid all this. Christian, when you are talking

:06:02.:06:05.

to them, where would Well, it's a very different

:06:06.:06:07.

picture to the one I witnessed in Hungary

:06:08.:06:15.

and Serbia in the summer, because that was mostly young men

:06:16.:06:18.

heading into Europe trying What is happening now,

:06:19.:06:20.

it seems to me at least, The families that they left behind

:06:21.:06:25.

have been told to get on the road before the borders close,

:06:26.:06:35.

so they are in a bit of a hurry, and those in this

:06:36.:06:38.

camp, they know they might have already missed

:06:39.:06:40.

their route further north into Croatia, through Slovenia

:06:41.:06:42.

into central Europe, because the Macedonians are only

:06:43.:06:43.

letting through around 300 Bear in mind there are some 2000

:06:44.:06:46.

arriving every day on the islands, so Greece at the moment,

:06:47.:06:50.

with around 33,000 migrants as we speak, is a holding pen

:06:51.:06:53.

for the rest of Europe. All the refugees are

:06:54.:06:57.

congregating here. There is nowhere for them

:06:58.:06:59.

to go and very little movement on Brussels on that

:07:00.:07:02.

relocation programme they had agreed So frustrations

:07:03.:07:04.

and impatience rising in this camp and no sign

:07:05.:07:08.

they are going to be able to move We've been reporting on the migrants

:07:09.:07:24.

as they come into Europe and negotiations in Brussels between

:07:25.:07:28.

Turkey and the EU. We were speaking to Damian Carrasco said earlier,

:07:29.:07:32.

highlighting that Turkey wishes to put its succession to the EU on the

:07:33.:07:38.

agenda. From the Netherlands, one viewer

:07:39.:07:40.

said that if Turkey wants to join the EU, they have to do something

:07:41.:07:43.

about freedom of the press. If you are still watching, Damian

:07:44.:07:47.

and other journalists have highlighted this, EU members are

:07:48.:07:51.

already saying there are a number of significant stumbling blocks before

:07:52.:07:55.

these talks begin about Turkish membership and EU freedom of the

:07:56.:08:00.

press is one of them. This is the hashtag.

:08:01.:08:03.

Thank you. Let's look at the sport as we always

:08:04.:08:07.

do at this time of day. One story will break well out of the sports

:08:08.:08:12.

News, it is a story anywhere in the programme, Maria Sharapova has given

:08:13.:08:16.

a statement in the last couple of hours, saying she failed a drugs

:08:17.:08:20.

test at the Australian open. This is her statement.

:08:21.:08:25.

I take great responsibility and professionalism in my job, every

:08:26.:08:34.

single day. I made a huge mistake. I've let my fans down, I've let the

:08:35.:08:40.

sport down. I've been playing it since the age of four. I've loved it

:08:41.:08:49.

so deeply. I know that with this, I face consequences. And I don't want

:08:50.:08:59.

to end my career this way. I really hope that I will be given another

:09:00.:09:03.

chance to play this game. Interesting to hear her say that, I

:09:04.:09:07.

think most people were expecting her to announce her retirement. She has

:09:08.:09:11.

not but she has failed a drugs test. We will see if she receives a

:09:12.:09:14.

punishment. Full coverage is on the front page

:09:15.:09:20.

of the BBC sport website. We were expecting it to be about

:09:21.:09:24.

retirement, this was a retirement that was well telegraphed, from the

:09:25.:09:25.

NFL. It's Peyton Manning

:09:26.:09:27.

of the Denver Broncos. There a scripture reading, I have

:09:28.:09:38.

fought a good fight and finished the race, I have kept the faith. Well, I

:09:39.:09:44.

fought a good fight, I've finished my football race. And after 18

:09:45.:09:51.

years, it is time. God bless all of you, and God bless football.

:09:52.:09:56.

APPLAUSE And emotional Peyton Manning.

:09:57.:09:58.

He won two Superbowls - including one just a few weeks ago.

:09:59.:10:05.

Anthony Zurcher, we normally talk to him about politics, but we can talk

:10:06.:10:13.

to him about sport as well. Read a quote about the senior management --

:10:14.:10:17.

from the senior management saying that he revolutionised the sport,

:10:18.:10:21.

how did he do that? He was not the strongest quarterback, he did not

:10:22.:10:25.

have the strongest arm. He could not run very fast, he was an gamely but

:10:26.:10:32.

a pure tactician. Could pick up the defence like no other quarterback

:10:33.:10:37.

like their -- out there. There a sports cliche, but he really was a

:10:38.:10:41.

coach on the field. If you gave him enough time behind a strong

:10:42.:10:45.

offensive line, you could throw the ball down the field and score. He

:10:46.:10:50.

set the record of most touchdowns of any quarterback in NFL history. And

:10:51.:10:56.

most offensive yards passing in NFL history. He changed how the

:10:57.:11:00.

quarterback looks at the game. You mentioned the rest go for passing

:11:01.:11:02.

yards, people yards, people were drawn attention

:11:03.:11:10.

to that. It means he completes passes again and again? Yes, they

:11:11.:11:15.

throw the ball and hit the big pass play. He excelled in short passes,

:11:16.:11:21.

being able to read the defense and find the open receiver. He would

:11:22.:11:25.

move the ball at a fast pace so that they could not adjust. He got a lot

:11:26.:11:30.

of yards throughout his 18 year career. That's me ask about a number

:11:31.:11:34.

of allegations circulating about things he may or may not have done

:11:35.:11:38.

when he was younger. I was not expecting him to face them down but

:11:39.:11:44.

he addressed it directly? Yes, he talked about sexual assault

:11:45.:11:51.

allegations when he was a player at college in Tennessee. He dismissed

:11:52.:11:52.

them, not wanting to create -- to talk about them.

:11:53.:12:03.

It was when he was 19. He did not have anything to say

:12:04.:12:05.

about that. We will talk about US politics, a

:12:06.:12:10.

more familiar subject for Anthony Zurcher, that's on the website.

:12:11.:12:17.

Serious attack earlier in southern Tunisia.

:12:18.:12:21.

Islamists attacked army and police bases.

:12:22.:12:26.

Close to the coast in the south of Tunisia.

:12:27.:12:30.

At least 45 people died - most were militants.

:12:31.:12:32.

We're told the situation's now under control.

:12:33.:12:34.

The dusty sleepy border town of Ben Guerdane is tense.

:12:35.:12:43.

Residents woke up the scenes of some of the deadliest

:12:44.:12:46.

clashes witnessed in the country to date.

:12:47.:12:48.

The street battles between security forces and militantss

:12:49.:12:50.

erupted after two simultaneous attacks on army and police bases

:12:51.:12:55.

Remnants on these streets show the aftermath of bloody clashes

:12:56.:13:01.

It is believed that up to 30 militantss

:13:02.:13:05.

The Tunisian army and police also took some heavy losses,

:13:06.:13:11.

and some civilians are thought to have been

:13:12.:13:13.

Tunisia's president believes this was the work

:13:14.:13:18.

of militants of the so-called Islamic State, and that they are

:13:19.:13:21.

trying to expand their territorial hold in the region.

:13:22.:13:23.

TRANSLATION: Today's attacks on the security

:13:24.:13:26.

forces in Ben Guerdane started at 5am and were unprecedented.

:13:27.:13:35.

It was organised, and the aim was probably

:13:36.:13:38.

to control the area and declare a new state.

:13:39.:13:41.

But Tunisia is also the largest exporter of jihadists in the region

:13:42.:13:47.

who end up fighting in Iraq, Syria and Libya.

:13:48.:13:49.

At least 3000 have left this country in recent

:13:50.:13:52.

The increasing political chaos in neighbouring Libya has

:13:53.:13:56.

allowed members of IS to set up cases and training camps

:13:57.:13:59.

Tunisia's two border crossings with Libya,

:14:00.:14:05.

one of them just a few minutes' drive from Ben

:14:06.:14:07.

Tunisia's security forces are now on high alert.

:14:08.:14:13.

They have set up a checkpoints around Ben Guerdane's

:14:14.:14:15.

They know they are facing a long-term threat and that

:14:16.:14:18.

the battle has perhaps only just begun.

:14:19.:14:35.

In a few moments time, I will play this report from Brazil, the BBC has

:14:36.:14:42.

been speaking to scientists about the Zika virus, there are

:14:43.:14:45.

predictions there could be another spike in cases in eight or nine

:14:46.:14:47.

months' time. Shares in the French energy firm EDF

:14:48.:14:54.

have fallen sharply. After the resignation

:14:55.:15:01.

of its chief financial officer. It will be the first nuclear plant

:15:02.:15:09.

to be built in return for a generation.

:15:10.:15:14.

Hinkley Point C they will also be one of the most expensive man mage

:15:15.:15:18.

drudges anywhere in the world. Which is why this man has resigned from

:15:19.:15:27.

EDF. As Chief finance officer at the huge French firm, he believed

:15:28.:15:30.

pressing ahead with the project now will put the whole company in

:15:31.:15:35.

jeopardy. Make no mistake, Hinkley Point will be a hugely expensive

:15:36.:15:41.

power plant. The projected cost is ?18 billion. But the final sum could

:15:42.:15:48.

be much higher. Now, EDF's Chinese partner will pay about a third of

:15:49.:15:53.

that, but EDF has defined the rest. The British government is

:15:54.:15:57.

guaranteeing the French energy giant this. More than ?90 per megawatt

:15:58.:16:03.

hour. That is the price to be paid for all of the electricity that

:16:04.:16:06.

Hinkley Point will generate, more than double the price today. EDF's

:16:07.:16:12.

finances are under strain, the new plants here in France and in Finland

:16:13.:16:17.

are over budget, and behind schedule. Revenues have been hit by

:16:18.:16:21.

falling power prices, and with mounting costs ahead, French unions,

:16:22.:16:26.

which sit on EDF's board, believe Hinkley Point should be delayed.

:16:27.:16:31.

I think we have to wait to go ahead with Hinkley Point because we have

:16:32.:16:40.

four reactors in construction, and zero are working. At a summit last

:16:41.:16:43.

week David Cameron and the French poster don't hold Hinkley Point a

:16:44.:16:50.

pillar of the Anglo-French relationship -- president. Again

:16:51.:16:54.

they pledged their support, but the critics are unconvinced. The facts

:16:55.:16:59.

are that the reactor is not good, the deal is not a good deal. EDF is

:17:00.:17:07.

in a powerless financial state, it looks as if we had to find a way out

:17:08.:17:12.

of this mess. EDF say they will take a decision on the project in the

:17:13.:17:17.

near future, now there is one less senior executive to oppose a deal.

:17:18.:17:22.

Today, shares fell sharply. The long-running saga is far from

:17:23.:17:23.

over. This is Outside Source live

:17:24.:17:29.

from the BBC newsroom. Turkish and EU leaders have been

:17:30.:17:32.

unable to find an agreement on proposals to stem the flow

:17:33.:17:37.

of migrants from Turkey to Europe. After Outside Source, outside of the

:17:38.:17:45.

UK, it is world News America. It's got more on the announcement

:17:46.:17:55.

in Brazil has told the BBC's Panorama programme she believes

:18:12.:18:18.

there could be a whole new spike In Brazil the virus is suspected

:18:19.:18:21.

:18:52.:18:57.

mother, Juliana, knows that he is not a normal and healthy baby. When

:18:58.:19:04.

he was born, there was so much going on we did not realise. We were so

:19:05.:19:09.

happy we cried with joy. But when he was in the baby ward, I looked at

:19:10.:19:13.

him and a normal child. I could see that his head was smaller. Enzo is a

:19:22.:19:28.

is likely he has brain damage. His eyesight is damaged and his legs are

:19:29.:19:34.

displaced. Scientists from all over the world have come to Recife to

:19:35.:19:38.

unravel the mystery of this virus. This professor has come in from

:19:39.:19:42.

London to lead a study gathering data from 400 pregnant women. We had

:19:43.:19:51.

no idea that it could be so harmful. There was very little research done.

:19:52.:19:55.

We knew little about it. I went with health workers to visit one of the

:19:56.:19:59.

pregnant women taking part in the study. This woman had a rash early

:20:00.:20:11.

in her pregnancy, a tell-tale sign of Zika infection.

:20:12.:20:16.

They are taking blood from all of the women to find out whether the

:20:17.:20:23.

first free months of pregnancy is, as they suspect, the riskiest time

:20:24.:20:27.

to catch the virus. Her scans indicated that she was in the clear

:20:28.:20:31.

but she will only know for sure when the baby is born. What would it mean

:20:32.:20:35.

to you if there was a difficulty with the baby?

:20:36.:21:02.

What scientists here now believe is that the epidemic is not just a

:21:03.:21:08.

one-off. Muskie tone numbers rise and fall with the seasons. And so

:21:09.:21:15.

will Zika -- Muskie Cove. There is a number of people with the

:21:16.:21:22.

rash, what is happening now is the second epidemic of Zika, that will

:21:23.:21:26.

be followed by a second outbreak of microcephaly in eight or nine

:21:27.:21:31.

months. So there will be a spike in cases of microcephaly? We think so.

:21:32.:21:35.

Since I left Recife three weeks ago, 88 more babies have been born in the

:21:36.:21:41.

state with microcephaly. More families living with the devastating

consequences of the Zika virus. Jane Corbin, BBC News.

when I was 17, I grew up on a farm and fell in love with it. When it

:22:24.:22:28.

comes to the position, the way you hold the sheep, the technique, your

:22:29.:22:37.

gear and your cut, there are all different kinds of sheep so I have a

:22:38.:22:43.

lot of cones. Daniel McIntyre, the reigning

:22:44.:22:47.

Australian champion! Before the start, I'd take a deep breath, fill

:22:48.:22:54.

my lungs up with and try to relax. -- with air and tried to relax. You

:22:55.:23:00.

have to drag the sheep out in a relaxed state and begin to Shia

:23:01.:23:09.

straightaway. We have a pattern, we try to cut the flat surfaces of the

:23:10.:23:16.

sheep. Positioning it in a way that the sheep flattens out. You move

:23:17.:23:24.

into your hind leg, up the neck and onto the longbow, then down the

:23:25.:23:30.

backside. You have to find the right balance between speed and quality.

:23:31.:23:35.

You cannot go all for speed, you need the quality aspect as well. A

:23:36.:23:39.

perfectly shorn sheep would look like a hard-boiled egg after you've

:23:40.:23:46.

taken the shell. No bridges, cuts. Just all of the wall completely off

:23:47.:23:53.

it. At the top, it is the filling for yourself. -- fulfilling. It is

:23:54.:24:01.

more about beating yourself than the bloke beside you. That

:24:02.:24:04.

accomplishment is something I've worked hard for since I left school

:24:05.:24:10.

and it fills you up inside I guess, yes.

:24:11.:24:15.

That is seriously impressive! Back to our top story, the Europe migrant

:24:16.:24:20.

crisis and the EU trying to respond. This often comes up, asking why the

:24:21.:24:25.

BBC refers to refugees as migrants, how do we choose whether to say

:24:26.:24:29.

refugee crisis or migrant crisis. We'd been asked a number of times,

:24:30.:24:33.

there's a full explanation on the BBC website. On exactly why we use

:24:34.:24:41.

these words in certain circumstances. Here is why.

:24:42.:24:48.

That's part of the explanation, there's more detail online if you

:24:49.:24:51.

like it. Thanks for the questions, we are

:24:52.:24:54.

happy to answer them if we can. See you goodbye.

:24:55.:24:59.

-- see you tomorrow, goodbye. After a fairly wintry feeling weak,

:25:00.:25:11.

we are stepping into the second week of spring, meteorological speaking,

:25:12.:25:15.

things will feel more springlike eventually. It is a cold start to

:25:16.:25:19.

the week, a wintry feel to things in the next
