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. | |
from the US military that it killed 150 al shabab militants | :17:56. | :17:58. | |
in Somalia in a drone strike. It reports on criticism | :17:59. | :18:00. | |
from the families of demolition workers who are still missing two | :18:01. | :18:05. | |
weeks after a decomissioned power They say it's taking too | :18:06. | :18:07. | |
long to find the bodies A scientist leading a study | :18:08. | :18:11. | |
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. | |
of leading to thousands of babies being born with | :18:22. | :18:30. | |
underdeveloped brains. The BBC's Jane Corbin has been | :18:31. | :18:38. | |
to Recife to meet some families It is bath time for six-week-old | :18:39. | :18:51. | |
Enzo. It looks like a normal family scene in north-east Brazil. But his | :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 | :19:14. | :19:21. | |
suspected seek a baby, born with an abnormally small head. -- Zika. It | :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 | :21:42. | :21:46. | |
consequences of the Zika virus. Jane Corbin, BBC News. | :21:47. | :21:49. | |
A lot of background on the Zika virus and what exactly it is, and | :21:50. | :21:56. | |
its links to microcephaly, that's on the health section of the BBC News | :21:57. | :22:00. | |

Lovely video made with Australia's top sheep shearer. | :22:11. | :22:12. | |
This is a man who can get through 12 sheep in 20 minutes. | :22:13. | :22:15. | |
I'm Daniel McIntyre, I'm a sheep shearing national champion. I began | :22:16. | :22:23. | |
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 | :25:20. | :25:20. |
