:00:00. > :00:07.Hello, I'm Ros Atkins, this is Outside Source.
:00:08. > :00:10.We'll start with Europe's migrant crisis.
:00:11. > :00:15.Several Balkan countries have closed their borders to migrants.
:00:16. > :00:20.There are now 14,000 people stranded at Greece's border with Macedonia.
:00:21. > :00:23.Buckingham Palace has made an official complaint
:00:24. > :00:25.about a tabloid newspaper claimed today the Queen wants the UK
:00:26. > :00:44.We will hear some of the tributes being played to Sir George Martin,
:00:45. > :00:47.the producer of the Beatles, who died at the age of 90.
:00:48. > :00:50.We'll talk about the huge influence he had on their music.
:00:51. > :00:52.We'll get an expert's view on these pictures released by North Korea,
:00:53. > :00:55.which they say shows a nuclear warhead small enough to fit
:00:56. > :00:59.And in OS Sport we'll hear from the creator of the drug
:01:00. > :01:18.Meldonium, which Maria Sharapova says she tested positive for.
:01:19. > :01:20.The migrant crisis in Europe continues to evolve.
:01:21. > :01:24.Macedonia has closed its border with Greece to migrants.
:01:25. > :01:29.This blocks the main route north for many.
:01:30. > :01:32.To remind you - this is the route through the Balkans to northern
:01:33. > :01:37.Macedonia has closed the border because other countries have done
:01:38. > :01:39.the same - Slovenia, Croatia and Serbia have
:01:40. > :01:47.Hundreds of thousands of people have travelled through Macedonia
:01:48. > :01:55.There's around 14,000 migrants now stranded on the Greek side
:01:56. > :02:10.Throughout the last year, thousands of migrants have walked through
:02:11. > :02:15.Greece, Macedonia and into Central Europe. In recent weeks, many
:02:16. > :02:19.countries along the route have started applying tighter
:02:20. > :02:23.restrictions. The border between Greece and Macedonia has been closed
:02:24. > :02:28.and it looks like it will stay closed, and yet still they arrive in
:02:29. > :02:33.huge numbers. Who are they, why do they come? We walk the last mile of
:02:34. > :02:43.this journey to the camp and find out a bit more. We are all Iraqis.
:02:44. > :02:54.UDC -- Yazidis? Yazidis from Iraq. What has life been like? Absolutely
:02:55. > :02:56.difficult, there is no life there, only more. Women have been
:02:57. > :03:15.kidnapped? Yes, absolutely. 4500 women were
:03:16. > :03:26.raped, lots of men were killed. Have you heard of the conditions at
:03:27. > :03:38.Idomini? The conditions are really bad, only God can help us.
:03:39. > :03:42.TRANSLATION: It is very important to have the right documents, and even
:03:43. > :03:47.with them they are useless because we cannot cross. My wife is already
:03:48. > :03:52.in Austria, I tried to go through the family reunion route but I have
:03:53. > :04:01.been waiting for a long, long time, so I decided to make the journey to
:04:02. > :04:05.try to join her in Austria. TRANSLATION: There are not many
:04:06. > :04:10.people to help, but that guy is holding my daughter. Do you know
:04:11. > :04:18.him? TRANSLATION: No, I don't know him. You all help each other?
:04:19. > :04:20.TRANSLATION: God sent me an -- him to help me, he is from Syria. We
:04:21. > :04:35.must keep walking. Well, we have been walking for an
:04:36. > :04:42.hour with his family. You can see we are in sight of the camp. These are
:04:43. > :04:46.the outskirts of Idomini camp. You can see the tents laid out in the
:04:47. > :04:51.fields. There is a whole process that these people had to go through,
:04:52. > :04:56.they have to register at the camp, get a number, the numbers are called
:04:57. > :04:59.to the gate one by one in order, a whole process. But well have been on
:05:00. > :05:02.the road today we have heard from the Macedonian police on the other
:05:03. > :05:06.side that they have closed the border completely. These things
:05:07. > :05:12.fluctuate and these people live in hope that the border might open, but
:05:13. > :05:15.right now it seems like it might be a futile journey and they could be
:05:16. > :05:24.sitting here for days, possibly weeks.
:05:25. > :05:29.There is lots of background on the migrant crisis available on BBC
:05:30. > :05:31.News. Now this story relates to the front page of the Sun newspaper in
:05:32. > :05:32.the UK. Buckingham Palace has made
:05:33. > :05:34.an official complaint to the Independent Press Standards
:05:35. > :05:37.Organisation here in the UK after a front-page report in the Sun
:05:38. > :05:39.newspaper which claims that the Queen had voiced strong
:05:40. > :05:42.opinions in favour of Britain Here's our royal
:05:43. > :05:44.correspondent Peter Hunt. This eye-catching suggestion
:05:45. > :05:46.that the Queen favours a severing of Britain's ties with the EU
:05:47. > :05:49.is based in part on the conversation she is said to have
:05:50. > :05:53.had with Nick Clegg. He was Deputy Prime Minister
:05:54. > :05:56.at the time and according to this account, the country's hereditary
:05:57. > :05:58.monarch told her minister over lunch that the EU was heading
:05:59. > :06:05.in the wrong direction. Mr Clegg has dismissed
:06:06. > :06:08.the tabloid story as nonsense. I was lucky enough to meet
:06:09. > :06:11.the Queen all the time, but I suspect that if I had had
:06:12. > :06:14.the kind of conversation as reported It is nonsense, it is not true,
:06:15. > :06:26.and I think it is desperate stuff for the Brexit campaign to now
:06:27. > :06:29.try to make their case by dragging the Queen into the European
:06:30. > :06:31.referendum debate. I think it is appalling
:06:32. > :06:33.that they are doing that. In a statement, Buckingham Palace
:06:34. > :06:36.said, the Queen remains politically We would never comment on spurious,
:06:37. > :06:41.anonymously sourced claims. The referendum will be a matter
:06:42. > :06:44.for the British people. Two years ago during the Scottish
:06:45. > :06:47.referendum, the 89-year-old head of state made remarks
:06:48. > :06:49.which were interpreted as backing Four days before the vote,
:06:50. > :06:57.she told someone, I hope people will think very carefully
:06:58. > :07:07.about the future. That is one of the most followed
:07:08. > :07:12.stories in the UK, this is another. The record producer
:07:13. > :07:15.Sir George Martin has died. He was most famous for his
:07:16. > :07:30.work with the Beatles. When I first met them, none of them
:07:31. > :07:34.played the piano very well, and I started to learn the guitar, because
:07:35. > :07:37.in order to communicate with them, when I played chords on the piano,
:07:38. > :07:41.they would look at a funny bunch of white keys and it would not mean a
:07:42. > :07:46.thing to them, so I thought, if I can play the guitar chord, they will
:07:47. > :07:50.see my fingers and the shapes, they will understand better. So I started
:07:51. > :07:55.to learn the guitar. At the same time, they bought a piano each and
:07:56. > :07:57.started to play the piano. They overtook me and started to play the
:07:58. > :07:58.piano better than I played the guitar.
:07:59. > :08:06.God bless George Martin peace and love to Judy and his family love
:08:07. > :08:10.Ringo and Barbara George will be missed xxx.
:08:11. > :08:15.He worked with so many huge stars, Elton John being one of them.
:08:16. > :08:25.You will not find anybody disagreeing with that description.
:08:26. > :08:26.I've been talking to BBC entertainment reporter
:08:27. > :08:37.He became part of the group. At the fifth Beatle was a term also apply
:08:38. > :08:43.to Brian Epstein, their manager, who very much turned them into global
:08:44. > :08:48.superstars, but from a musical point of view, George Martin was the fifth
:08:49. > :08:51.Beatle in terms of what he added, in terms of the instruments, the
:08:52. > :08:56.orchestration of the Beatles. When they came to him they were a very
:08:57. > :09:01.rough, raw group who had cut their teeth in the clubs of hamburger and
:09:02. > :09:04.Liverpool, they had no idea of orchestration, how to put together
:09:05. > :09:08.an album. It was George Martin with his classical background that showed
:09:09. > :09:10.that what could be possible and took the idea is that they had and made
:09:11. > :09:13.them happen. Stay with us, Kevin. George Martin is credited
:09:14. > :09:15.with transforming the role of the producer in
:09:16. > :09:16.the music industry. Here's John Lennon describing how
:09:17. > :09:25.they worked together. George had an little... No rock and
:09:26. > :09:31.roll when we met him, and we had never been in a studio, so we did a
:09:32. > :09:35.lot of learning together. He had a very great musical knowledge and
:09:36. > :09:40.background. So he could translate for us and suggest a lot of things,
:09:41. > :09:44.which he did. Look, chaps, I thought up this this afternoon and I came up
:09:45. > :09:49.with this and we would say, oh, great, great, we will put it on
:09:50. > :09:52.here. He taught us a lot, and ensure we taught him a lot with our
:09:53. > :09:56.primitive musical ability, which is all I have, still.
:09:57. > :10:02.Lots of Beatles records that we know very well feature George Martin, but
:10:03. > :10:07.we do not realise it is him at his hand in one song or another?
:10:08. > :10:11.Absolutely, it is him but John Lennon would say, I want my voice to
:10:12. > :10:16.sound like a thousand Buddhist monks chanting on top of the hillsides in
:10:17. > :10:21.the fog, and George Martin would go away and make that happen. It was
:10:22. > :10:26.George Martin that created the sound of Tomorrow Never Knows, the
:10:27. > :10:31.fantastic psychedelic sound, by reversing drum loops. He created the
:10:32. > :10:37.orchestration for Alan Rigby, those stabbing violins. All of those
:10:38. > :10:40.sounds that we now associate, the creativity, the huge bursts of
:10:41. > :10:44.creativity that we associate with the Beatles in terms of their
:10:45. > :10:47.boundaries that they were pushing, musically, all came from George
:10:48. > :10:52.Martin. It is right that we talk about the Beatles above all, but if
:10:53. > :10:58.you look at the other people, the Beatles, they stand alone as being
:10:59. > :11:03.giants of the music industry? He had one of the most varied careers. He
:11:04. > :11:07.began producing comedy albums, one of the 30 produced was Right Said
:11:08. > :11:14.Fred by Bernard Cribbins, then to move onto the Beatles, Elton John,
:11:15. > :11:21.Sting, an incredible amount of people. It is testament to the
:11:22. > :11:26.skills that he honed with the Beatles that he continued using them
:11:27. > :11:31.when he set of his own studio in Montserrat, that the bans... Dire
:11:32. > :11:39.Straits would fly over to this tiny island would... In the Caribbean to
:11:40. > :11:45.work with him. That news if you are following
:11:46. > :11:49.Chelsea, they have gone 2-1 down at home against PSG, making PSG 4-2 up
:11:50. > :11:51.on aggregate. This is the second leg.
:11:52. > :11:54.In Russia the trial of a Ukrainian pilot is approaching its end.
:11:55. > :11:57.These are pictures of the mortar strike she is accused
:11:58. > :12:03.A Russian cameraman filmed the attack, his correspondent
:12:04. > :12:13.The woman on trial, Nadiya Savchenko, was fighting
:12:14. > :12:16.pro-Russia rebels near Lugansk in Ukraine and was captured.
:12:17. > :12:19.Her lawyers claim they have evidence that this actually happened before
:12:20. > :12:28.The trial is in the small Russian town of Donetsk -
:12:29. > :12:36.Sarah Rainsford is there - we'll hear from her,
:12:37. > :12:52.It was a fairly short session of court in southern Russia, but very
:12:53. > :12:58.dramatic. Nadiya Savchenko has been on hunger strike for five days, at
:12:59. > :13:02.one point she jumped onto the bench inside the cage inside the courtroom
:13:03. > :13:08.and showed her middle finger to the judge. A gesture of defiance, but
:13:09. > :13:12.also showing what she says she thinks of Russian justice. She had a
:13:13. > :13:17.translator read out a formal statement denying any guilt. She
:13:18. > :13:21.said that Russia has no justice, that this trial is a farce is being
:13:22. > :13:27.directed by the Kremlin. We have heard from the EU and the US this
:13:28. > :13:30.week, both calling on Russia to drop the charges against Nadiya Savchenko
:13:31. > :13:35.and return her to the Ukraine, saying it is an unjust trial, but
:13:36. > :13:40.Russia has said it is a criminal proceeding and the outside world,
:13:41. > :13:44.the West, should not try to influence Russian courts. Nadiya
:13:45. > :13:48.Savchenko is accused of complicity in the death of two Russian
:13:49. > :13:51.journalists during the fighting in eastern Ukraine. Over the course of
:13:52. > :13:55.several months, lawyers have shown evidence that they say proves she
:13:56. > :13:59.was captured before the journalists were killed, which they say proves
:14:00. > :14:03.her innocence. She is still on hunger strike and has vowed to stay
:14:04. > :14:08.on hunger strike until the verdict is delivered or until, she says, she
:14:09. > :14:14.is returned to Ukraine. But the verdict will not come until the 31st
:14:15. > :14:16.of March. Her lawyers warned, that unless she is force-fed, she will
:14:17. > :14:26.not live that long. The case of Nadiya Savchenko has
:14:27. > :14:31.become much more than just one woman 's claim of innocence in a Russian
:14:32. > :14:36.court. This is the Russian Embassy in central Kiev, paint on the walls
:14:37. > :14:41.from previous protests, you can see the signs and the heavy police
:14:42. > :14:46.presence here today. These protesters who have come out
:14:47. > :14:52.in front of the Russian Embassy, and across Ukraine, they see her as a
:14:53. > :14:58.symbol of defiance and hope in the face of what a lot of Ukrainians
:14:59. > :15:01.believe is Russian aggression. We came here today because Nadiya
:15:02. > :15:06.Savchenko is a symbol of the Ukraine. It is our hope. She shows
:15:07. > :15:11.the Russian citizens and the Russian Government that I can't break
:15:12. > :15:16.Ukraine. Thank God we have such a Hiro who can, despite all the
:15:17. > :15:22.trials, despite all the hardships that she faces at the moment, freely
:15:23. > :15:26.express her opinion and is not broken, her spirit is not broken.
:15:27. > :15:31.These people see Nadir Ciftci when Coad is somebody who represents the
:15:32. > :15:33.fight in Ukraine for true independence and sovereignty -- see
:15:34. > :15:43.Nadiya Savchenko. I don't know if you have seen these
:15:44. > :15:48.extraordinary pictures up a full solar eclipse playing out in
:15:49. > :15:51.Indonesia. I will show you the pictures and tell you how
:15:52. > :15:54.Indonesians watched it in a few minutes.
:15:55. > :15:57.This weekend marks the 20th anniversary of the Dunblane School
:15:58. > :15:59.massacre, when 16 children and their teacher were shot dead
:16:00. > :16:05.It led to changes which made private ownership of handguns illegal,
:16:06. > :16:14.and now, some of those affected have spoken to the BBC.
:16:15. > :16:23.It was just the most incredibly long wait. And it was like a form of
:16:24. > :16:27.torture. Mhairi was the only one who was evacuated from the gym who did
:16:28. > :16:34.not survive. I wasn't with her when she died. That is the thing that I
:16:35. > :16:40.regret most, that is the one regret that I have. I'd like her mother to
:16:41. > :16:47.have been with her when she died. I'd like her to have had her mum.
:16:48. > :16:52.That is an absolute betrayal. Evils visited us yesterday, and we
:16:53. > :16:59.don't know why. We don't understand it, and I guess we never will.
:17:00. > :17:02.This is Outside Source live from the BBC newsroom.
:17:03. > :17:05.Macedonia has completely closed its border to migrants hoping
:17:06. > :17:08.to travel from Greece to northern Europe.
:17:09. > :17:17.Conditions at border camps in Greece are deteriorating.

:17:55. > :17:57.a big case at the UK Supreme Court. They've been told to pay tax
:17:58. > :18:15.on bonuses paid to their investment In 2003, Deutsche Bank and UBS were
:18:16. > :18:19.among the banks setting up schemes to enable senior executives to be

:18:23. > :18:27.advantage of laws designed to encourage share ownership by
:18:28. > :18:30.employees. Staff were awarded shares which
:18:31. > :18:34.could be forfeited under certain conditions, and then they would be
:18:35. > :18:39.tax exempt. So don't bank set up a Cayman
:18:40. > :18:41.Islands company and awarded hundreds of bankers shares which would
:18:42. > :18:48.supposedly be forfeited if the plight he resigned was dismissed for
:18:49. > :18:51.misconduct within six weeks. In a unanimous verdict, the Supreme Court
:18:52. > :18:56.ruled by bad condition had no business or commercial purpose and
:18:57. > :19:01.was inserted with the sole purpose of avoiding tax. The tax must now be
:19:02. > :19:06.repaid. It also ruled against a similar scheme at Swiss bank UBS.
:19:07. > :19:11.Both banks will have to repay millions in illegally avoided tax.

:19:23. > :19:28.of a firm called Square. Its results have just come out, let's bring in
:19:29. > :19:36.Michelle Fleury. I had never heard of Square, what is it? If you go to
:19:37. > :19:39.any small merchant, if you are at a fair, for example, I don't know if
:19:40. > :19:43.you have ever played with your credit card, the chances are you
:19:44. > :19:48.might have used Square technology, it is a little white cube, and
:19:49. > :19:52.attachment onto your iPhone, I paddled tablet which essentially
:19:53. > :19:58.allows the merchant to accept credit card payments. It is a cheap way for
:19:59. > :20:02.a small merchant or retailer to suddenly offer you the payment
:20:03. > :20:07.facilities that a big store brands might be able to have. How is it
:20:08. > :20:15.doing? Well pretty well. It went public on the stock market last
:20:16. > :20:20.November. These are its first public results. It reported a loss, that
:20:21. > :20:24.broadly speaking its revenue has jumped much higher, its gross
:20:25. > :20:29.payment volume, the number looked at by investors, increased 47% year
:20:30. > :20:35.over year. There are signs it is riding this wave of payment systems.
:20:36. > :20:39.They are not very sexy, you might not have heard of them in terms of
:20:40. > :20:43.brand name companies that it is a growing area. The problem is that
:20:44. > :20:48.faces a lot of competition, many people are waiting to see weather or
:20:49. > :20:53.not it can survive against other bigger players. Jack Dorsey is
:20:54. > :20:56.probably glad of some good news from Square, because Twitter is having a
:20:57. > :21:04.tough time at the moment, I am surprised he can divide his time
:21:05. > :21:07.this way? He considers both companies his babies and apparently
:21:08. > :21:13.he spends the mornings at the Twitter headquarters and crosses San
:21:14. > :21:20.Francisco to go to the headquarters of Square, where he spends the
:21:21. > :21:25.afternoon. It is a huge workload. Looking back over corporate history,
:21:26. > :21:29.not many people have taken big a task, especially when you consider
:21:30. > :21:34.Square is still making a loss and Twitter is in the process of trying
:21:35. > :21:39.to prove its value. He has a big job. He joins the likes of Apple's
:21:40. > :21:46.Steve jobs who also run Pixar Studios and Elon musk, he runs Tesla
:21:47. > :21:52.and another company. Even Elon musk has said it does not allow you much

:22:08. > :22:12.and up to $34 million dollars This is one of the scientists
:22:13. > :22:26.helping to develop the technology. It is pretty close to becoming
:22:27. > :22:31.reality. Most of the technology exists already and it is a question
:22:32. > :22:37.of integrating and using it on an aircraft. The idea is to use
:22:38. > :22:40.electrically powered energy to provide power for the aircraft while
:22:41. > :22:46.the aircraft is at the gate, and also to move the aircraft for
