:00:07. > :00:08.Hello, I'm Ros Atkins, this is Outside Source.

:00:09. > :00:11.Turkey and the EU say they have a plan to stop migration

:00:12. > :00:16.But already there is criticism and it's stinging.

:00:17. > :00:18.The UN says it may break international law.

:00:19. > :00:22.We'll be live in Brussels and Turkey shortly.

:00:23. > :00:24.We'll have the latest on Maria Sharapova.

:00:25. > :00:27.Sponsors have been reacting to her failed drugs test.

:00:28. > :00:41.A number of stabbing attacks in Israel during the visit of the US

:00:42. > :00:46.vice-president. This is Detroit Michigan, one of the

:00:47. > :00:49.states voting in the latest Republican and democratic primaries.

:00:50. > :00:55.We will hear specifically why Donald Trump is picking up support in this

:00:56. > :00:58.city. For International Women's Day, we

:00:59. > :01:00.have a report from women in Saudi Arabia, who have been sharing their

:01:01. > :01:18.day-to-day lives with us. We have a plan from the EU -

:01:19. > :01:21.Turkey to respond to Here it is, on the European

:01:22. > :01:33.Council's website. One of main points is that for every

:01:34. > :01:36.Syrian migrant that arrives in Greece from Turkey

:01:37. > :01:39.and is returned back there, a Syrian currently in Turkey will be

:01:40. > :01:44.resettled in the EU. Before we get ahead of ourselves,

:01:45. > :01:52.already the UN has objected. "An agreement that

:01:53. > :01:56.would be tantamount to a blanket return of any foreigners to a third

:01:57. > :01:59.country and is not consistent "EU and Turkish leaders

:02:00. > :02:04.have sunk to a new low, effectively horse trading away

:02:05. > :02:07.the rights and dignity of some of the world's most

:02:08. > :02:11.vulnerable people." Needless to say, the EU

:02:12. > :02:26.doesn't see it that way. The flow of migrants passing from

:02:27. > :02:29.toweringy to Greece -- from Turkey to Greece, remains too high and

:02:30. > :02:33.needs to be brought down significantly. The Prime Minister

:02:34. > :02:37.confirmed Turkey's commitment to accept the rapid return of all

:02:38. > :02:42.migrants coming from Turkey to Greece that are not in need of

:02:43. > :02:47.international protection. When you first heard the details of this, if

:02:48. > :02:50.you're like me, you're thinking how will the system work.

:02:51. > :02:53.Our correspondent, Damian Grammaticas joins me now.

:02:54. > :03:00.I think what it does, what it attempts to do, this idea, is to

:03:01. > :03:06.address the very central problem that the EU finds, which is this

:03:07. > :03:10.large number of people, taking to boats, landing in Greece from Turkey

:03:11. > :03:16.and then making their way over land. What we've seen already are those

:03:17. > :03:20.border closures and that has put pressure on the situation and it's

:03:21. > :03:24.focussed minds, because we now see this situation in Greece with the

:03:25. > :03:31.refugees and migrants who are building up there. So what this

:03:32. > :03:34.addresses is first of all, the need that Europe feels, European nations

:03:35. > :03:40.feel, to protect their external borders. So this deal involves this

:03:41. > :03:45.plan to return anyone coming across the water back to Turkey. And the

:03:46. > :03:53.second thing is crucial, that cooperation with Turkey. Because

:03:54. > :03:55.Turkey itself is housing two million-plus Syrian refugees and the

:03:56. > :04:00.reason people are getting up and moving is that the conditions there

:04:01. > :04:05.are not acceptable for them. After years and years of living there.

:04:06. > :04:09.This tries to address two things, protecting Europe's borders but

:04:10. > :04:14.dealing with the refugee pressures in Turkey and therefore, giving

:04:15. > :04:19.Turkey the quid pro quo of shifting people who are deemed worthy of

:04:20. > :04:23.refugee status into the EU. Those people who would be moved into the

:04:24. > :04:28.EU, where will they go? Last time I looked, the EU didn't seem able to

:04:29. > :04:32.agree on who should take how many people. This is just one of the very

:04:33. > :04:38.many questions that hang over this whole plan. Because you're

:04:39. > :04:42.absolutely right. The EU has talked about taking 20,000 Syrians from

:04:43. > :04:47.Turkey, that plan hasn't got off the ground yet. The EU has talked about

:04:48. > :04:51.moving 60,000 people out of Greece to other parts of the EU. That plan

:04:52. > :04:56.has only resulted in a few hundred being moved. So the question would

:04:57. > :05:02.be - where would these people go? The answer would really have to be

:05:03. > :05:06.to a coalition of willing countries. Within that we might see Germany,

:05:07. > :05:11.the Netherlands. But we certainly would not see Hungary and probably

:05:12. > :05:15.eastern European states. Hungary made very clear if there was any

:05:16. > :05:21.plan to make this scheme compulsory or this idea of shifting refugees

:05:22. > :05:25.into the EU compulsory, it would seek to veto it or block it, if it

:05:26. > :05:31.could. What that leaves is a result untrischeme. That's what we have --

:05:32. > :05:36.voluntary scheme. That's not working already. This is interesting from

:05:37. > :05:40.Mark Lowen saying he's been speaking to one man, Mohammed from Aleppo in

:05:41. > :05:44.Syria, saying, regardless of what the EU is planning, he's going to

:05:45. > :05:48.try over and over again to go to Greece. There are many questions

:05:49. > :05:50.about the way this plan will be effectively implemented.

:05:51. > :05:53.It's not just the UN and Amnesty International who don't

:05:54. > :06:00.Have a listen to this clip - it's a German Socialist Party MP.

:06:01. > :06:11.Ankara is, of course, great. There is no harsh criticism against Ankara

:06:12. > :06:16.with view of the war against the Kurdish people population, no

:06:17. > :06:20.mention of the assault against the newspaper there. If you are a decent

:06:21. > :06:24.politician and believing in human rights, you have to, what is

:06:25. > :06:29.happening in the Kurdish area. It is awful. Massive human rights

:06:30. > :06:34.violations. Everybody knows that. We've heard from the EU side of

:06:35. > :06:40.things. Let's look at Turkey and why it's so keen on this plan. I

:06:41. > :06:45.enlisted the help of our correspondent from BBC Turkish.

:06:46. > :06:49.Turkey thinks it has played its cards really well this time. It's

:06:50. > :06:57.almost got what it asked for, all of them. Turkey wanted visa-free travel

:06:58. > :07:01.for Turkish citizens who wanted to travel to EU countries and

:07:02. > :07:06.scheduling of that is set to be as early as June, which was initially

:07:07. > :07:14.thought to be, thought to start in November, for instance. Turkey also

:07:15. > :07:17.wanted speeding up of the EU negotiation, EU accession

:07:18. > :07:23.negotiations, which was for a very long time stalled. Actually, for a

:07:24. > :07:26.decade, this was a breakthrough. Turkey is holding summits with the

:07:27. > :07:32.European Union countries every now and then. Turkey is considered a

:07:33. > :07:40.very important partner etc. So, that will especially be seen as a

:07:41. > :07:46.breakthrough. Turkey actually, it's offering to allow in, to take back

:07:47. > :07:51.one Syrian in return for sending a south-eastern from the refugee cam

:07:52. > :07:54.-- Syrian from the refugee camps. I have spoken to several migration

:07:55. > :08:00.experts in Turkey. They have said they really have serious concerns

:08:01. > :08:06.about how easy it will be to implement this deal, because Turkey

:08:07. > :08:10.already acome dates over -- acome dates over 2. 7 million refugees.

:08:11. > :08:17.Hundreds of thousands of them are not registered. There's the side of

:08:18. > :08:21.international law. The UNHCR actually is concerned about whether

:08:22. > :08:28.this deal will violate international law and I have spoken to ex-Turkey

:08:29. > :08:34.head of UNHCR here in Turkey and he said it could be in violation of

:08:35. > :08:37.international law, because Turkey does not grant Syrians refugee

:08:38. > :08:41.status at the moment. And what's going to happen to these people if

:08:42. > :08:46.they're sent back to Turkey, how will they be resettled in Europe,

:08:47. > :08:49.they ask. Lots of background on the migrant crisis in Europe available

:08:50. > :08:51.from the BBC online. That's one story dominating our attentions

:08:52. > :08:55.today. This is the second one. Nike, Porsche Tag Heuer have

:08:56. > :08:57.responded to Maria Sharapova Nike says its suspending

:08:58. > :09:01.its relationship with her. Tag Heuer - that it

:09:02. > :09:03.won't seek a new deal. Another sponsor, Danone,

:09:04. > :09:07.which owns the Evian mineral water brand, simply says it's

:09:08. > :09:13.following the investigation closely. And it's these kind of deals that

:09:14. > :09:16.have made Sharapova the highest earning female athlete

:09:17. > :09:37.of the last ten years. On the court Maria Sharapova's

:09:38. > :09:41.nemesis has been Serena Williams. She was asked about this story. To

:09:42. > :09:49.be perfectly honest, I think in sport and in life, there's always a

:09:50. > :09:52.double standard. Always. I think that's something that no-one is -

:09:53. > :09:56.everyone knows, whether it's a race thing or a sex thing. There's always

:09:57. > :10:00.been a double standard and difference. However, this is a

:10:01. > :10:03.different thing. I think as Maria said, she's ready to take full

:10:04. > :10:07.responsibility. I think that showed a lot of courage and a lot of heart.

:10:08. > :10:19.I think she's always showed courage and heart in everything that she's

:10:20. > :10:22.done. This is no different. We only have one side of the story

:10:23. > :10:27.at the moment, it's interesting there's been no sortage of immediate

:10:28. > :10:31.support for Maria Sharapova. Her coach from when she was much younger

:10:32. > :10:35.saying, "I don't think that Maria Sharapova would continue doing

:10:36. > :10:37.something, especially being in the limelight. If there was something

:10:38. > :10:59.she knew about." And She says, "Hold your horses on this.

:11:00. > :11:03.I don't have all the facts. That of course applies to all of us. One of

:11:04. > :11:08.the key questions that is driving some of the scepticism that we've

:11:09. > :11:14.seen in response to Sharapova's statement is how you cannot know

:11:15. > :11:16.exactly what you're taking, given the size of the team that Maria

:11:17. > :11:24.Sharapova would have working with her. This is one view on that issue.

:11:25. > :11:28.Maria Sharapova, like all high-profile athletes that have an

:11:29. > :11:33.entourage of advisors around her, she will be able to rely on doctors,

:11:34. > :11:40.coaches, nutritionists to provide her with advice. So it's

:11:41. > :11:42.inconceivable that somebody wasn't monitoring what substances WADA was

:11:43. > :11:48.looking at, because it was announced, I think, about 12 months

:11:49. > :11:53.ago, that WADA was investigating this particular substance. It's

:11:54. > :11:58.similar in some ways to other blood-boosting drugs. What this drug

:11:59. > :12:04.does is to speed the flow of blood around the body. And the speed at

:12:05. > :12:10.which the blood goes into the muscle helps with endurance sports. So for

:12:11. > :12:19.a sport like tennis, it would be a very useful drug. We can see

:12:20. > :12:23.paralegals between it and the -- par alells between the sorts of drugs

:12:24. > :12:29.that cyclists have taken in the past. We've learned four other

:12:30. > :12:33.Russian sportsmen and women have failed tests for this same drug.

:12:34. > :12:36.Olympic speed skating champion, Evgeny Elistratov, figure skater

:12:37. > :12:39.Ekaterina Bobrova, volleyball player Alexandr Markin,

:12:40. > :12:52.All failing a test. Why might an athlete take this drug? We heard

:12:53. > :12:58.some of the explanations in that clip. The first could be medical.

:12:59. > :13:02.It's known to be used to treat diabetes and heart-related diseases.

:13:03. > :13:07.Much more so in certain countries like Russia, than others. Maria

:13:08. > :13:10.Sharapova's lawyer says various medical issues caused her doctor to

:13:11. > :13:13.suggest this medication. The other reason is that it can effect the

:13:14. > :13:17.ability to increase oxygen movement to muscles and that can have a

:13:18. > :13:24.positive effect on stamina and endurance. As you might imagine,

:13:25. > :13:27.BBC's tennis correspondent Russell Fuller, in California, has been

:13:28. > :13:33.talking about nothing else all day. I got hold of him earlier.

:13:34. > :13:40.There isn't a huge amount of shock, as I think some of the statements

:13:41. > :13:44.that you've read out do illustrate. The one thing that we need to wait

:13:45. > :13:47.to see is exactly how long this process begins, how long this

:13:48. > :13:50.process takes, rather. I would imagine that there would be an

:13:51. > :13:55.independent hearing up and running, organised by the international

:13:56. > :13:58.tennis federation for some time in April, after both sides have got

:13:59. > :14:01.their legal arguments in position. They normally issue a verdict a

:14:02. > :14:06.couple of weeks after that. The maximum ban could be four years. If

:14:07. > :14:10.they decide it was unintentional, the starting point is two years. If

:14:11. > :14:15.they find no significant fault attached to the athlete, the ban may

:14:16. > :14:17.only be one year. Whatever happens there, it's almost certain that

:14:18. > :14:20.Sharapova's legal team will take that verdict to the court of

:14:21. > :14:24.arbitration for sport. In the last couple of years, they have a history

:14:25. > :14:27.of not completely overturning verdicts within tennis, but

:14:28. > :14:35.certainly reducing the length of the ban. That's happened to Cilic and

:14:36. > :14:38.Troitsky. I know today is a big PR push by tennis generally to get the

:14:39. > :14:43.world talking about the sport. Clearly, this story isn't

:14:44. > :14:46.necessarily helping, along with the problems around alleged spot-fixing

:14:47. > :14:50.a couple of months ago, these have been difficult times for tennis.

:14:51. > :14:54.It's awful timing for the sport. The BBC Buzzfeed investigation into

:14:55. > :14:57.allegations of match-fixing was released just an hour before the

:14:58. > :15:00.Australian Open began. That completely overshadowed the first

:15:01. > :15:04.week of the event. It's thrown up major issues for the sport, which

:15:05. > :15:09.are now being investigated by an independent report. That panel will

:15:10. > :15:12.take all of 2016 to come up with their findings. Now we have one of

:15:13. > :15:16.the most high-profile sporting stars on the planet, who happens to be a

:15:17. > :15:20.tennis player admitting that she has tested positive for a drug. When you

:15:21. > :15:23.look at the women's game, you have Maria Sharapova and Serena Williams.

:15:24. > :15:27.They are the two standout names. It is a huge blow. Positive that it's

:15:28. > :15:31.out in the open, there was no suggestion that it was going to be

:15:32. > :15:34.covered up, that the process, the legal action taken against Maria

:15:35. > :15:37.Sharapova is under way. I have to say I'm uncomfortable with some of

:15:38. > :15:41.the statements that various governing bodies have made since

:15:42. > :15:44.Sharapova made her statement. The chief executive of the WTA Tour has

:15:45. > :15:50.been talking about Sharapova's professionalism and how she's a

:15:51. > :15:54.woman of great integrity. And tennis Australia, which is where Sharapova

:15:55. > :15:56.returned that positive test at the Australian Open after her quarter

:15:57. > :16:00.final with Serena Williams in January and pointing out that she's

:16:01. > :16:08.a great role model. I'm not denying any of that, but we need to let the

:16:09. > :16:12.legal proceedings happen and for justice to take its course. If

:16:13. > :16:14.you've been on the BBC website today you'll have seen our extensive

:16:15. > :16:19.coverage of international women's day. As part of that, I'll play this

:16:20. > :16:22.report that's been collected by one colleague who's been speaking to

:16:23. > :16:36.women in Saudi Arabia about the challenges in their lives.

:16:37. > :16:43.Mark caverny found -- Carney found himselves accused of taking sides

:16:44. > :16:46.today. He said leaving the EU would affect Britain's financial stability

:16:47. > :16:52.in the short-term. Let's listen to what he had to say.

:16:53. > :16:57.In the long-term, I don't think there can be a conclusive answer to

:16:58. > :17:00.that. There are ways of organising ourselves that would deliver

:17:01. > :17:04.financial stability. There's certainly ways of organising

:17:05. > :17:08.ourselves. I would not advocate any change to the remit or the tools of

:17:09. > :17:14.the Bank of England in order to deliver monetary stability. The

:17:15. > :17:18.judgment would have to be in that regard, financial stability relative

:17:19. > :17:25.to competitiveness and all the other aspects of the relationship and

:17:26. > :17:28.balance. In the shorter term, the transition could bring some

:17:29. > :17:40.challenges to financial stability. This is Outside Source live

:17:41. > :17:42.from the BBC newsroom. The UN has questioned the legality

:17:43. > :17:47.of a proposed plan by the EU and Turkey to end

:17:48. > :17:52.migration into Europe. We bring you the main stories from

:17:53. > :17:56.BBC World Service as well. It's two years since flight MH370

:17:57. > :17:58.disappeared en route Authorities say they are still

:17:59. > :18:02.confident that they BBC Chinese are

:18:03. > :18:06.following that story. BBC Persian reports that Iran has

:18:07. > :18:08.test-fired a number of ballistic missiles, despite pressure

:18:09. > :18:13.from the US to halt such tests. And this is the moment that Adele

:18:14. > :18:17.invited two men onto stage to sing. They'd recently posted a video

:18:18. > :18:37.covering several of her songs - Let's start with the big story in

:18:38. > :18:40.Brazil today. This is the owner of the biggest construction

:18:41. > :18:45.conglomerate in Latin America. He's been sentenced to 19 years in

:18:46. > :18:53.prison. This is the latest result of a massive anticorruption drive

:18:54. > :18:58.called operation car wash. Our correspondent is in London today,

:18:59. > :19:03.rather than Sao Paulo, and she's helped us out with this story. The

:19:04. > :19:08.court sentenced that he paid over $30 million to prize to officials in

:19:09. > :19:13.exchange for contracts with Brazil's oil state company. He's the sixth

:19:14. > :19:17.executive sentenced to praise anyone the corruption in the operation,

:19:18. > :19:22.which started in 2014. He's also the most important one. Before the

:19:23. > :19:27.scandal, his company had over 180,000 employees in 21 countries.

:19:28. > :19:35.He was considered the face of Brazil's economic boom in the past

:19:36. > :19:37.few years. Now so far, officials and executives from Brazil's top

:19:38. > :19:40.construction companies have been the main source of information to the

:19:41. > :19:45.police in this case. They have agreed to reveal what they know in

:19:46. > :19:54.exchange for sentence reductions. There is an expectation that this

:19:55. > :19:57.company might dot same. His revelations could implicate some of

:19:58. > :20:02.Brazil's main politicians and turn this case into a bigger

:20:03. > :20:06.investigation. Earlier this week, Brazil's former president was

:20:07. > :20:09.detained for questioning for his involvement with those construction

:20:10. > :20:14.companies. This caused clashes between dozens of his supporters and

:20:15. > :20:18.detractors in Sao Paulo. This is just how controversial this

:20:19. > :20:23.investigation has become. She's not here for much longer, but

:20:24. > :20:28.she'll be back on the programme from Sao Paulo I'm sure. It's

:20:29. > :20:32.International Women's Day today. Most times on Outside Source around

:20:33. > :20:36.this point in the show, we speak about the big business stories of

:20:37. > :20:41.the day. Let's bring in Michelle to talk about gender balance on Wall

:20:42. > :20:46.Street. My guess is, it's not great. I was on the floor of the New York

:20:47. > :20:50.Stock Exchange a few hours ago, if you look around the trading floor,

:20:51. > :20:56.it is still dominated by men. There was a big group of women there this

:20:57. > :21:00.morning. Women in ETFs, exchange traded funds, they were there to

:21:01. > :21:04.ring the opening bell in honour of International Women's Day. But it's

:21:05. > :21:09.fair to say that if you look at the financial industry generally around

:21:10. > :21:14.the world, there are still far too few women employed in the business.

:21:15. > :21:20.In fact, mutual funds, the number of women that manage mutual fund assets

:21:21. > :21:25.adds up to 2%, so 98% of mutual funds' assets are managed by men.

:21:26. > :21:29.There are lots of jobs where it's more likely for a man or woman to be

:21:30. > :21:33.doing it, how do we understand such a huge imbalance in the financial

:21:38. > :21:40.looking at the behavioural, cognitive differences, at least when

:21:41. > :21:44.it comes to trading, between men and women. There's been some interesting

:21:45. > :21:47.findings. One from the University of Leicester, published just today,

:21:48. > :21:52.they've released the findings, talking about the fact that if you

:21:53. > :21:56.look at men they tend to take bigger risks venlt that can lead to big --

:21:57. > :22:00.risks. That can lead to bigger profits. But it can lead to bigger

:22:01. > :22:03.crashes. Women didn't necessarily tend to make as much money as the

:22:04. > :22:09.men in terms of profits for the firms they work for, but they also

:22:10. > :22:12.didn't tend to lose as much, didn't tend to, their behaviour didn't lead

:22:13. > :22:18.to the excessive risk taking that might result in a huge crash. So

:22:19. > :22:22.that was part of the argument, if you like, that you hear some people

:22:23. > :22:24.talk about in terms of seeing more gender equality at least in the

:22:25. > :22:34.financial industry. Very interesting. Thank you for talking

:22:58. > :23:09.many Saudi women say (Inaudible) So we've been asking Audi women

:23:10. > :23:15.themselves. Are women in the Kingdom really that oppressed? As a Saudi

:23:16. > :23:20.woman, I never felt oppressed in any means. We have in our Parliament

:23:21. > :23:25.more than 30 women. She's referring to the recent and long awaited move

:23:26. > :23:29.to allow women the right to vote and take part in Parliamentary

:23:30. > :23:35.elections. So do they have a point? More women in Saudi Arabia graduate

:23:36. > :23:39.from university than men. Contrary to popular belief, women in Saudi

:23:40. > :23:40.Arabia can work and in fact, have found prominence in different

:23:41. > :23:51.fields. And when it comes to social media,

:23:52. > :23:59.well, let's just say they're not keeping it quiet.

:24:00. > :24:06.So women in Saudi Arabia can do many things and they do. But what often

:24:07. > :24:08.limits them is the fact that they need a male guardian to do, well,

:24:09. > :24:52.basically anything. My name is Shahd. I'm 20 years old

:24:53. > :24:56.and I grew up with a violent father. Five years ago, my mother went to

:24:57. > :25:00.court asking for divorce. She fought to keep us with her. But under the

:25:01. > :25:05.male guardianship law, my father won our custody. All my mother had

:25:06. > :25:10.wanted was to keep us safe and divorce her abusive husband. But the

:25:11. > :25:15.law gave my mother no justice. Clearly, when it comes to rights,

:25:16. > :25:20.there's still many battles to fight. However, many women in Saudi Arabia

:25:21. > :25:21.say that labelling them as victims only makes those battles harder to

:25:22. > :25:41.fight. What an interesting report there. If

:25:42. > :25:45.you want to see it again or share it with someone via Facebook or
