:00:10. > :00:21.Welcome to Outside Source. We will go straight to Brussels. Police

:00:22. > :00:25.continue to hunt for two gunmen that police believe are connected to last

:00:26. > :00:31.you's Paris attacks. Latest reports say another suspect has been killed.

:00:32. > :00:36.The day after it was announced, Russia has started its military

:00:37. > :00:41.pull-out from Syria. We will analyse the past changing situation. The BBC

:00:42. > :00:47.will report from the Democratic Republic of Congo on elephant

:00:48. > :00:52.poaching. We will also talk about the head of the Bangladesh Central

:00:53. > :00:56.bank who has resigned. There has been a $100 million hack of a

:00:57. > :01:01.government account and the money doesn't look like it is coming back.

:01:02. > :01:05.And we have a big day of US politics to talk about. And you can get in

:01:06. > :01:29.touch with us on Twitter. The situation in Brussels continues

:01:30. > :01:35.to evolve. A manhunt is still underway and police say they are now

:01:36. > :01:39.hunting for two men after an anti-terror raid earlier in the day.

:01:40. > :01:46.These are some live pictures coming to the BBC. A major police presence

:01:47. > :01:53.in this part of the city. The raid took place at around 2pm GMT. If I

:01:54. > :02:00.bring up the map, we can highlight one southern suburb of Brussels

:02:01. > :02:06.called Forest and it is in this part of the city most of the police

:02:07. > :02:20.activity has been. Let's bring in some information.

:02:21. > :02:25.The police are consistently saying this is linked to the Paris attacks.

:02:26. > :02:33.Other important information includes the fact that four officers have

:02:34. > :02:41.been wounded, one seriously. The mayor of this suburb has been

:02:42. > :02:45.speaking. TRANSLATION: The situation is very calm. Police have been

:02:46. > :02:48.deployed and residents were told to stay indoors. There is a school and

:02:49. > :02:52.nursery and the building is perfectly secure. The parents have

:02:53. > :02:58.been told and they are waiting at my office. They are very impatient to

:02:59. > :03:02.see their children, of course, but the children are being taken care of

:03:03. > :03:05.by teaching staff who have also been reassured. I have been in contact by

:03:06. > :03:13.phone and everything is OK with them. Let's go live to the suburb of

:03:14. > :03:19.Forest. Bring us up-to-date on what is happening in the city at the

:03:20. > :03:25.moment. It is a very fluid situation. We are

:03:26. > :03:30.right behind the police lines and you can see a significant police

:03:31. > :03:35.presence, heavily armed officers all over the streets. All of the access

:03:36. > :03:45.roads are blocked. You can see a fire engine and police vans. The

:03:46. > :03:48.raid took place behind those fans. Some residents are being allowed

:03:49. > :03:57.through. A helicopter is still overhead. We have heard in the last

:03:58. > :04:01.couple of minutes from the Belgian prosecutors office saying that the

:04:02. > :04:13.person who was killed in those attacks is not one of the main

:04:14. > :04:19.suspects in the Paris attacks, so he remains in Europe's most wanted man.

:04:20. > :04:23.After lunchtime it is said they were pursuing two suspects of a rift

:04:24. > :04:28.tops. It is not clear how many people remain at large but there is

:04:29. > :04:32.still an operation underway. It has quietened down a lot since we

:04:33. > :04:38.arrived. A lot of the media has moved on. Something is happening

:04:39. > :04:44.here but we don't exactly know what. As the mayor was saying, the

:04:45. > :04:51.situation feels relatively calm. If anything changes please come back

:04:52. > :04:58.to us. That is one story we have been following closely today. This

:04:59. > :05:02.is another. Yesterday, Vladimir Putin 's surprise stars by saying

:05:03. > :05:12.Russian forces would be leaving Syria. Today that started. There has

:05:13. > :05:16.been a positive response. Let's be clear, this is not a total

:05:17. > :05:20.withdrawal. The Russian deputy defence minister has spoken today

:05:21. > :05:24.saying that some strikes will continue and he went on to say it is

:05:25. > :05:34.too early to talk about victory over terrorism. There is no suggestion

:05:35. > :05:41.that Russia's main military bases in Syria, they will continue to operate

:05:42. > :05:46.as normal. Steve Rosenberg has been to those bases and here is his

:05:47. > :05:51.report on the beginning of the Russian withdrawal.

:05:52. > :05:53.At the Russian air base in Syria, it's the final checks.

:05:54. > :06:08.In the cockpit of a Sukhoi 34 bomber, preparations for take-off.

:06:09. > :06:10.And then for Russia's air force, the long flight home.

:06:11. > :06:13.Led by a command plane, the bombers head to Russia.

:06:14. > :06:15.President Putin has ordered the majority of Russian forces

:06:16. > :06:25.He says they have completed their task.

:06:26. > :06:32.A few hours later the planes and pilots are back on Russian soil.

:06:33. > :06:39.It follows five months of Russian air strikes. Western leaders accused

:06:40. > :06:45.the Russians of bombing anyone who opposed President Assad. Russia

:06:46. > :06:50.denies that and says it is only targeting terrorists. When we

:06:51. > :07:02.visited the airbase earlier this month there were signs that her

:07:03. > :07:05.campaign was being scaled down. Russian soldiers were trying to

:07:06. > :07:09.convince Syrian opposition figures to back the peace process. But this

:07:10. > :07:16.is not the end of Russia's military operation in Syria. Moscow is not

:07:17. > :07:17.pulling out all its troops and vows to continue carrying out air strikes

:07:18. > :07:28.against what it calls terrorists. Russians are going to keep a

:07:29. > :07:32.military presence in Syria which begs the question what exactly does

:07:33. > :07:43.the withdrawal mean in practice? I have spoken to two of my colleagues.

:07:44. > :07:46.Vladimir Putin says the objectives have been achieved and that is it.

:07:47. > :07:53.You must ask yourself what the objectives were. If it was to keep

:07:54. > :07:58.President Assad in power and make sure his opposition to him is

:07:59. > :08:05.depleted, then the objectives have been achieved. If it was peace and

:08:06. > :08:17.fighting against Islamic State then that is not complete. It is also to

:08:18. > :08:24.show that Vladimir Putin is strong, and makes him different to the West.

:08:25. > :08:30.Russia's intervention changed this conflict. Their intervention

:08:31. > :08:35.surprised everybody. Since getting involved and they have caught

:08:36. > :08:42.everybody by surprise. Today is very enigmatic. After three weeks of a

:08:43. > :08:47.partial ceasefire, Russia partially withdraws after partially achieving

:08:48. > :08:51.objectives. I think what you said is right that one objective was to prop

:08:52. > :08:58.up President Assad and save him because his heartland was under

:08:59. > :09:02.threat before they intervened. The other thing is to bring the

:09:03. > :09:08.opposition to the Geneva talks on President Assad's and Russia's

:09:09. > :09:15.terms. The issue of President Assad being out of power is almost off the

:09:16. > :09:19.table. The other thing is Russia being back on the world stage as a

:09:20. > :09:25.major power. Carrying on from what you said, what Russian journalists

:09:26. > :09:32.and officials are asking is what about sanctions? Although they are

:09:33. > :09:37.not connected to Syria, Russian officials and journalists, the first

:09:38. > :09:44.questions they ask is whether the Syrian campaign will help Russia get

:09:45. > :09:52.the sanctions lifted. If you see how the Russian pilots have been met in

:09:53. > :09:56.Russia, as victorious, but the impression in Syria was revenge, but

:09:57. > :10:03.it was all treated as a big military parade. There is a ceasefire of

:10:04. > :10:08.sorts, holding better than many people expected. More talks are

:10:09. > :10:15.planned and we seem to be in a better situation than for some time

:10:16. > :10:21.and Russia played a part. There are reasons to be optimistic but also to

:10:22. > :10:24.the cosh is. Up till now, the position of the government of

:10:25. > :10:29.President Assad and the position of the rebels are completely different.

:10:30. > :10:38.President Assad wants to get into a process where talks about frameworks

:10:39. > :10:45.and preparations, and the opposition wants to go straight to the

:10:46. > :10:50.substance. Assad is open to a new constitution, elections he would be

:10:51. > :10:56.able to participate in, and the opposition say he has to go. We

:10:57. > :11:00.can't see how these very different positions can be reconciled. What is

:11:01. > :11:04.happening on the ground is helping but in the Middle East there is

:11:05. > :11:23.always a lot of reason to be pessimistic.

:11:24. > :11:27.We have been... In a few minutes' time we will get the help of another

:11:28. > :11:32.colleague to talk about an extraordinary story from Bangladesh

:11:33. > :11:35.were a cyber heist has cost the country's central-bank in the region

:11:36. > :11:51.of $100 million. The Department for Education is to

:11:52. > :11:57.set out proposals to radically reformed how schools are run in

:11:58. > :12:09.Britain. It has been the long-term aim for changing schools to be

:12:10. > :12:14.outside local government control. Since 1902 this is a big thing. An

:12:15. > :12:19.awful lot of skills have not converted. 40% of secondary schools,

:12:20. > :12:24.around 1300, and one in seven primary schools have converted, so

:12:25. > :12:31.14,004 have to change. It is big in that way. Academies are not bound so

:12:32. > :12:36.what happens to the national curriculum? Also nationally agreed

:12:37. > :12:38.he skills for teachers, academies can make their own bargains with

:12:39. > :12:58.teachers. A lot of ramifications. Our lead story is that there has

:12:59. > :13:02.been a shoot out at a house in Belgium jeering a police operation

:13:03. > :13:06.linked to the Paris attacks. One person has been killed and four

:13:07. > :13:10.police officers injured. Let's have a look at some of the main stories

:13:11. > :13:22.from BBC world service. The parliament in the Armagh as elected

:13:23. > :13:32.-- Myanmar has elected a new president. An explosive device under

:13:33. > :13:39.a car in Berlin killed the driver, believed to be linked to organised

:13:40. > :13:44.crime, not terrorism. A 16th century hall in Manchester has been badly

:13:45. > :14:01.damaged by fire. Police say the circumstances are suspicious.

:14:02. > :14:05.Anders brave it -- Anders Breivik killed 77 people in Norway. We

:14:06. > :14:09.signed today for the first time since he was sentenced in 2012. This

:14:10. > :14:15.video was released by the Norwegian authorities. The reason he is back

:14:16. > :14:20.in court is that he is suing the government for unacceptable

:14:21. > :14:23.treatment in prison, with relation to living in solitary confinement.

:14:24. > :14:29.He is having his handcuffs taken off there. He has shaken hands with his

:14:30. > :14:36.lawyer. The whole video makes for uncomfortable viewing. He seems

:14:37. > :14:40.distracted and uncomfortable at various points and then after a

:14:41. > :14:48.brief exchange with this police officer he does that directly in

:14:49. > :14:54.front of him. This was set up in a prison gymnasium especially set up

:14:55. > :15:06.court to hear his concerns. It is the number one story in Norway. The

:15:07. > :15:13.niece of a law professor there survived. It is not a happy day but

:15:14. > :15:23.this is something we have to go through. People like Anders Breivik

:15:24. > :15:26.have human rights. They are not only for people who aren't nice but

:15:27. > :15:33.people who are not nice as well. The question before the court is all the

:15:34. > :15:44.conditions under which he is doing his prison term to restrictive? Is

:15:45. > :15:47.the isolation going too far? That is a question of Norwegian and

:15:48. > :15:52.international human rights law. It is a good thing that it person like

:15:53. > :16:03.him gets this opportunity in the legal system to challenge every

:16:04. > :16:06.aspect of his detention. Let's begin Outside Source business by talking

:16:07. > :16:11.about this man losing his job, the head of the Central bank in

:16:12. > :16:18.Bangladesh, he resigned. Hackers managed to steal over $100 million

:16:19. > :16:25.from the foreign currency reserves, taken from an account held with the

:16:26. > :16:28.Federal Reserve bank of New York. You could call this a lucky escape

:16:29. > :16:34.because the hackers put in transparent requests for $1 billion.

:16:35. > :16:38.That could have been very downfall. They put in such a high number of

:16:39. > :16:48.transfer requests it caused suspicion, and they made a big

:16:49. > :16:52.error. One request was to this foundation but there spelling was

:16:53. > :17:03.not up to scratch. So the transfer was stopped. I wanted to understand

:17:04. > :17:07.how this scam worked. The computer system was hacked and

:17:08. > :17:16.they sent 35 money transfer request to the US Federal Reserve bank but

:17:17. > :17:22.only five were executed. This meant about 100 million US dollars

:17:23. > :17:29.siphoned from the account but the original request was for $1 billion,

:17:30. > :17:34.so 80 million went to a commercial bank in the Philippines in different

:17:35. > :17:37.accounts and that money was laundered in three casinos in the

:17:38. > :17:45.Philippines and ended up in accounts in Hong Kong. 20 million went to Sri

:17:46. > :17:50.Lanka but the bank staff were suspicious because the name of the

:17:51. > :17:55.foundation was incorrectly spelt so that was stopped, and that saved 20

:17:56. > :18:03.million dollars worth being siphoned. It is a complicated trail.

:18:04. > :18:08.Any idea who is behind it? Nobody knows. The government set up a

:18:09. > :18:18.3-member committee to investigate what happened, whether the IT

:18:19. > :18:24.structure was weak, whether the bank was vulnerable. When you lose this

:18:25. > :18:30.kind of money politically it will be very difficult. Bangladesh bank had

:18:31. > :18:34.kept the finance Ministry in total darkness and the finance minister

:18:35. > :18:41.was really angry because the government did not know anything and

:18:42. > :18:46.the whole thing came in the Philippine press and that's when the

:18:47. > :18:51.whole story came out in the open. Initially it was thought that the

:18:52. > :18:56.fault was when the Federal Reserve and that was said that the

:18:57. > :19:01.Bangladesh government would take legal action but then they found out

:19:02. > :19:05.the Bangladesh bank knew about it and they were taking steps to

:19:06. > :19:11.recover the money. Michael Jackson's estate has sold

:19:12. > :19:14.its interest in a huge music catalogue. Sony is buying it so it

:19:15. > :19:21.will get the rights to around 3 million songs, by the Beatles, Dylan

:19:22. > :19:24.and Taylor Swift among others. Some people might be surprised to know

:19:25. > :19:29.Michael Jackson owned all these songs in the first place. As well as

:19:30. > :19:35.being a talented singer he was also a shrewd businessman, certainly when

:19:36. > :19:41.it came to music copyright. He started buying up some of the rights

:19:42. > :19:48.to these songs back in 1985. Then in about 1995 he went into a joint

:19:49. > :19:54.venture with Sony and now his estate are selling the remaining share in

:19:55. > :20:06.this business to Sony. What is worth pointing out is Michael Jackson's on

:20:07. > :20:12.songs are not included. Sony wants to spend this money. Presumably you

:20:13. > :20:17.can still make money from music. I don't know if you stream music but

:20:18. > :20:22.increasingly people do not necessarily on a track, they're not

:20:23. > :20:27.going out to buy a CD record, but increasingly each time listen to a

:20:28. > :20:31.song on a streaming service, the chances are a streaming service is

:20:32. > :20:38.paying royalties back to the company which owns the copyright, so there

:20:39. > :20:42.is money to be made. Thank you. Let's talk about what the Duke of

:20:43. > :20:47.Cambridge has said today. He has unveiled plans to crack down on the

:20:48. > :20:52.trade in illegally killed wildlife and we are going to focus on

:20:53. > :21:00.elephants in a moment. Part of this is a declaration signed by 40

:21:01. > :21:06.companies, airlines, Portland customs officers, and he was some of

:21:07. > :21:10.what Prince William has said. We have faced up to the fact that if

:21:11. > :21:14.current trends continue the last wild African elephants and rhinos

:21:15. > :21:20.will be killed before my daughter reaches her 25th birthday. We have

:21:21. > :21:25.accepted that if we let some of our most iconic species go extinct on

:21:26. > :21:28.our watch, our collective confidence to tackle any conservation or

:21:29. > :21:36.environmental challenge will take a massive blow. And we have accepted

:21:37. > :21:41.that the poacher crisis is not just a tragedy because of the impact it

:21:42. > :21:44.has on animals but because of its effect on some of the most

:21:45. > :21:47.vulnerable people on our planet. Butchers and traffickers bring

:21:48. > :21:52.brutal violence into desperately poor parts of the world. We can pick

:21:53. > :22:04.up on that last point. Less than half a million elephants left in

:22:05. > :22:09.Africa. Poachers and Rangers are always in conflict. Our

:22:10. > :22:20.correspondent has set a report. It's tough terrain in

:22:21. > :22:22.Garamba National Park, where less than 100 rangers

:22:23. > :22:25.are trying to protect the last of the elephants across thousands

:22:26. > :22:27.of square miles of grassland. We joined one of their foot

:22:28. > :22:30.patrols to a place where The grass is so high,

:22:31. > :22:36.the only way to see a carcass is from the air and then

:22:37. > :22:53.to direct the rangers in. Well, this elephant was clearly

:22:54. > :22:55.killed by a poacher. Its ivory tusks were hacked off,

:22:56. > :23:00.it's been dead about three weeks. There are another four of these

:23:01. > :23:10.caucuses spread all around -- There are another four of these

:23:11. > :23:12.carcasses spread all around They arrived too late

:23:13. > :23:16.to catch the poachers, 30,000-40,000 elephants are being

:23:17. > :23:19.killed in Africa every year. And with only around 400,000 left,

:23:20. > :23:22.it's not going to be long, And with so few boots on the ground,

:23:23. > :23:26.those responsible often get away "We followed their footprints",

:23:27. > :23:30.one of the rangers told me. There are perhaps 1,300

:23:31. > :23:36.elephants left here. Garamba was one of Africa's first

:23:37. > :23:43.national parks and a World Heritage site, originally set up to protect

:23:44. > :23:48.the northern white rhino, but that has already been

:23:49. > :23:54.wiped out by poachers. Now, they're fighting

:23:55. > :23:57.to save the elephants that are left, in a place surrounded by civil war

:23:58. > :24:04.and heavily armed militia. And that's why African Parks,

:24:05. > :24:12.the group managing Garamba, But the weapons are old,

:24:13. > :24:21.few hit even a close target. Training rangers takes a lot of time

:24:22. > :24:26.and money and the men they're up This really does feel like you're

:24:27. > :24:32.fighting a war against poachers? I think Garamba is probably today

:24:33. > :24:38.at the forefront of conservation, I just don't think that many other

:24:39. > :24:44.places have so much contact and so many threats to one

:24:45. > :24:48.park as we have here. This local man was arrested after

:24:49. > :24:55.a tip-off, and ivory recovered. By the time it reaches the market

:24:56. > :25:05.in Asia, it goes for at least ?750. Then reports came

:25:06. > :25:09.in of another attack. And there are the carcasses,

:25:10. > :25:12.just down there by the river. Five of them, one of them a baby,

:25:13. > :25:15.and the sixth we've just spotted, a little bit further up

:25:16. > :25:18.the river from there. It's hard to make out from up here,

:25:19. > :25:21.but you could see that their faces They need hundreds more

:25:22. > :25:27.rangers to protect Garamba. On the front line of

:25:28. > :25:29.the poaching war, the elephants Alistair Leithead, BBC News,

:25:30. > :25:44.in the Democratic Republic of Congo. If you want to show other people

:25:45. > :25:52.that report, you can find it online at the BBC. Let's have a look at

:25:53. > :25:56.some stories we are going to cover. We have five significant primaries

:25:57. > :26:00.today in the US. We will also get into drone racing.
