Welcome to Outside Source. We will go straight to Brussels. Police | :00:10. | :00:21. | |
continue to hunt for two gunmen that police believe are connected to last | :00:22. | :00:25. | |
you's Paris attacks. Latest reports say another suspect has been killed. | :00:26. | :00:31. | |
The day after it was announced, Russia has started its military | :00:32. | :00:36. | |
pull-out from Syria. We will analyse the past changing situation. The BBC | :00:37. | :00:41. | |
will report from the Democratic Republic of Congo on elephant | :00:42. | :00:47. | |
poaching. We will also talk about the head of the Bangladesh Central | :00:48. | :00:52. | |
bank who has resigned. There has been a $100 million hack of a | :00:53. | :00:56. | |
government account and the money doesn't look like it is coming back. | :00:57. | :01:01. | |
And we have a big day of US politics to talk about. And you can get in | :01:02. | :01:05. | |
touch with us on Twitter. The situation in Brussels continues | :01:06. | :01:29. | |
to evolve. A manhunt is still underway and police say they are now | :01:30. | :01:35. | |
hunting for two men after an anti-terror raid earlier in the day. | :01:36. | :01:39. | |
These are some live pictures coming to the BBC. A major police presence | :01:40. | :01:46. | |
in this part of the city. The raid took place at around 2pm GMT. If I | :01:47. | :01:53. | |
bring up the map, we can highlight one southern suburb of Brussels | :01:54. | :02:00. | |
called Forest and it is in this part of the city most of the police | :02:01. | :02:06. | |
activity has been. Let's bring in some information. | :02:07. | :02:20. | |
The police are consistently saying this is linked to the Paris attacks. | :02:21. | :02:25. | |
Other important information includes the fact that four officers have | :02:26. | :02:33. | |
been wounded, one seriously. The mayor of this suburb has been | :02:34. | :02:41. | |
speaking. TRANSLATION: The situation is very calm. Police have been | :02:42. | :02:45. | |
deployed and residents were told to stay indoors. There is a school and | :02:46. | :02:48. | |
nursery and the building is perfectly secure. The parents have | :02:49. | :02:52. | |
been told and they are waiting at my office. They are very impatient to | :02:53. | :02:58. | |
see their children, of course, but the children are being taken care of | :02:59. | :03:02. | |
by teaching staff who have also been reassured. I have been in contact by | :03:03. | :03:05. | |
phone and everything is OK with them. Let's go live to the suburb of | :03:06. | :03:13. | |
Forest. Bring us up-to-date on what is happening in the city at the | :03:14. | :03:19. | |
moment. It is a very fluid situation. We are | :03:20. | :03:25. | |
right behind the police lines and you can see a significant police | :03:26. | :03:30. | |
presence, heavily armed officers all over the streets. All of the access | :03:31. | :03:35. | |
roads are blocked. You can see a fire engine and police vans. The | :03:36. | :03:45. | |
raid took place behind those fans. Some residents are being allowed | :03:46. | :03:48. | |
through. A helicopter is still overhead. We have heard in the last | :03:49. | :03:57. | |
couple of minutes from the Belgian prosecutors office saying that the | :03:58. | :04:01. | |
person who was killed in those attacks is not one of the main | :04:02. | :04:13. | |
suspects in the Paris attacks, so he remains in Europe's most wanted man. | :04:14. | :04:19. | |
After lunchtime it is said they were pursuing two suspects of a rift | :04:20. | :04:23. | |
tops. It is not clear how many people remain at large but there is | :04:24. | :04:28. | |
still an operation underway. It has quietened down a lot since we | :04:29. | :04:32. | |
arrived. A lot of the media has moved on. Something is happening | :04:33. | :04:38. | |
here but we don't exactly know what. As the mayor was saying, the | :04:39. | :04:44. | |
situation feels relatively calm. If anything changes please come back | :04:45. | :04:51. | |
to us. That is one story we have been following closely today. This | :04:52. | :04:58. | |
is another. Yesterday, Vladimir Putin 's surprise stars by saying | :04:59. | :05:02. | |
Russian forces would be leaving Syria. Today that started. There has | :05:03. | :05:12. | |
been a positive response. Let's be clear, this is not a total | :05:13. | :05:16. | |
withdrawal. The Russian deputy defence minister has spoken today | :05:17. | :05:20. | |
saying that some strikes will continue and he went on to say it is | :05:21. | :05:24. | |
too early to talk about victory over terrorism. There is no suggestion | :05:25. | :05:34. | |
that Russia's main military bases in Syria, they will continue to operate | :05:35. | :05:41. | |
as normal. Steve Rosenberg has been to those bases and here is his | :05:42. | :05:46. | |
report on the beginning of the Russian withdrawal. | :05:47. | :05:51. | |
At the Russian air base in Syria, it's the final checks. | :05:52. | :05:53. | |
In the cockpit of a Sukhoi 34 bomber, preparations for take-off. | :05:54. | :06:08. | |
And then for Russia's air force, the long flight home. | :06:09. | :06:10. | |
Led by a command plane, the bombers head to Russia. | :06:11. | :06:13. | |
President Putin has ordered the majority of Russian forces | :06:14. | :06:15. | |
He says they have completed their task. | :06:16. | :06:25. | |
A few hours later the planes and pilots are back on Russian soil. | :06:26. | :06:32. | |
It follows five months of Russian air strikes. Western leaders accused | :06:33. | :06:39. | |
the Russians of bombing anyone who opposed President Assad. Russia | :06:40. | :06:45. | |
denies that and says it is only targeting terrorists. When we | :06:46. | :06:50. | |
visited the airbase earlier this month there were signs that her | :06:51. | :07:02. | |
campaign was being scaled down. Russian soldiers were trying to | :07:03. | :07:05. | |
convince Syrian opposition figures to back the peace process. But this | :07:06. | :07:09. | |
is not the end of Russia's military operation in Syria. Moscow is not | :07:10. | :07:16. | |
pulling out all its troops and vows to continue carrying out air strikes | :07:17. | :07:17. | |
against what it calls terrorists. Russians are going to keep a | :07:18. | :07:28. | |
military presence in Syria which begs the question what exactly does | :07:29. | :07:32. | |
the withdrawal mean in practice? I have spoken to two of my colleagues. | :07:33. | :07:43. | |
Vladimir Putin says the objectives have been achieved and that is it. | :07:44. | :07:46. | |
You must ask yourself what the objectives were. If it was to keep | :07:47. | :07:53. | |
President Assad in power and make sure his opposition to him is | :07:54. | :07:58. | |
depleted, then the objectives have been achieved. If it was peace and | :07:59. | :08:05. | |
fighting against Islamic State then that is not complete. It is also to | :08:06. | :08:17. | |
show that Vladimir Putin is strong, and makes him different to the West. | :08:18. | :08:24. | |
Russia's intervention changed this conflict. Their intervention | :08:25. | :08:30. | |
surprised everybody. Since getting involved and they have caught | :08:31. | :08:35. | |
everybody by surprise. Today is very enigmatic. After three weeks of a | :08:36. | :08:42. | |
partial ceasefire, Russia partially withdraws after partially achieving | :08:43. | :08:47. | |
objectives. I think what you said is right that one objective was to prop | :08:48. | :08:51. | |
up President Assad and save him because his heartland was under | :08:52. | :08:58. | |
threat before they intervened. The other thing is to bring the | :08:59. | :09:02. | |
opposition to the Geneva talks on President Assad's and Russia's | :09:03. | :09:08. | |
terms. The issue of President Assad being out of power is almost off the | :09:09. | :09:15. | |
table. The other thing is Russia being back on the world stage as a | :09:16. | :09:19. | |
major power. Carrying on from what you said, what Russian journalists | :09:20. | :09:25. | |
and officials are asking is what about sanctions? Although they are | :09:26. | :09:32. | |
not connected to Syria, Russian officials and journalists, the first | :09:33. | :09:37. | |
questions they ask is whether the Syrian campaign will help Russia get | :09:38. | :09:44. | |
the sanctions lifted. If you see how the Russian pilots have been met in | :09:45. | :09:52. | |
Russia, as victorious, but the impression in Syria was revenge, but | :09:53. | :09:56. | |
it was all treated as a big military parade. There is a ceasefire of | :09:57. | :10:03. | |
sorts, holding better than many people expected. More talks are | :10:04. | :10:08. | |
planned and we seem to be in a better situation than for some time | :10:09. | :10:15. | |
and Russia played a part. There are reasons to be optimistic but also to | :10:16. | :10:21. | |
the cosh is. Up till now, the position of the government of | :10:22. | :10:24. | |
President Assad and the position of the rebels are completely different. | :10:25. | :10:29. | |
President Assad wants to get into a process where talks about frameworks | :10:30. | :10:38. | |
and preparations, and the opposition wants to go straight to the | :10:39. | :10:45. | |
substance. Assad is open to a new constitution, elections he would be | :10:46. | :10:50. | |
able to participate in, and the opposition say he has to go. We | :10:51. | :10:56. | |
can't see how these very different positions can be reconciled. What is | :10:57. | :11:00. | |
happening on the ground is helping but in the Middle East there is | :11:01. | :11:04. | |
always a lot of reason to be pessimistic. | :11:05. | :11:23. | |
We have been... In a few minutes' time we will get the help of another | :11:24. | :11:27. | |
colleague to talk about an extraordinary story from Bangladesh | :11:28. | :11:32. | |
were a cyber heist has cost the country's central-bank in the region | :11:33. | :11:35. | |
of $100 million. The Department for Education is to | :11:36. | :11:51. | |
set out proposals to radically reformed how schools are run in | :11:52. | :11:57. | |
Britain. It has been the long-term aim for changing schools to be | :11:58. | :12:09. | |
outside local government control. Since 1902 this is a big thing. An | :12:10. | :12:14. | |
awful lot of skills have not converted. 40% of secondary schools, | :12:15. | :12:19. | |
around 1300, and one in seven primary schools have converted, so | :12:20. | :12:24. | |
14,004 have to change. It is big in that way. Academies are not bound so | :12:25. | :12:31. | |
what happens to the national curriculum? Also nationally agreed | :12:32. | :12:36. | |
he skills for teachers, academies can make their own bargains with | :12:37. | :12:38. | |
teachers. A lot of ramifications. Our lead story is that there has | :12:39. | :12:58. | |
been a shoot out at a house in Belgium jeering a police operation | :12:59. | :13:02. | |
linked to the Paris attacks. One person has been killed and four | :13:03. | :13:06. | |
police officers injured. Let's have a look at some of the main stories | :13:07. | :13:10. | |
from BBC world service. The parliament in the Armagh as elected | :13:11. | :13:22. | |
-- Myanmar has elected a new president. An explosive device under | :13:23. | :13:32. | |
a car in Berlin killed the driver, believed to be linked to organised | :13:33. | :13:39. | |
crime, not terrorism. A 16th century hall in Manchester has been badly | :13:40. | :13:44. | |
damaged by fire. Police say the circumstances are suspicious. | :13:45. | :14:01. | |
Anders brave it -- Anders Breivik killed 77 people in Norway. We | :14:02. | :14:05. | |
signed today for the first time since he was sentenced in 2012. This | :14:06. | :14:09. | |
video was released by the Norwegian authorities. The reason he is back | :14:10. | :14:15. | |
in court is that he is suing the government for unacceptable | :14:16. | :14:20. | |
treatment in prison, with relation to living in solitary confinement. | :14:21. | :14:23. | |
He is having his handcuffs taken off there. He has shaken hands with his | :14:24. | :14:29. | |
lawyer. The whole video makes for uncomfortable viewing. He seems | :14:30. | :14:36. | |
distracted and uncomfortable at various points and then after a | :14:37. | :14:40. | |
brief exchange with this police officer he does that directly in | :14:41. | :14:48. | |
front of him. This was set up in a prison gymnasium especially set up | :14:49. | :14:54. | |
court to hear his concerns. It is the number one story in Norway. The | :14:55. | :15:06. | |
niece of a law professor there survived. It is not a happy day but | :15:07. | :15:13. | |
this is something we have to go through. People like Anders Breivik | :15:14. | :15:23. | |
have human rights. They are not only for people who aren't nice but | :15:24. | :15:26. | |
people who are not nice as well. The question before the court is all the | :15:27. | :15:33. | |
conditions under which he is doing his prison term to restrictive? Is | :15:34. | :15:44. | |
the isolation going too far? That is a question of Norwegian and | :15:45. | :15:47. | |
international human rights law. It is a good thing that it person like | :15:48. | :15:52. | |
him gets this opportunity in the legal system to challenge every | :15:53. | :16:03. | |
aspect of his detention. Let's begin Outside Source business by talking | :16:04. | :16:06. | |
about this man losing his job, the head of the Central bank in | :16:07. | :16:11. | |
Bangladesh, he resigned. Hackers managed to steal over $100 million | :16:12. | :16:18. | |
from the foreign currency reserves, taken from an account held with the | :16:19. | :16:25. | |
Federal Reserve bank of New York. You could call this a lucky escape | :16:26. | :16:28. | |
because the hackers put in transparent requests for $1 billion. | :16:29. | :16:34. | |
That could have been very downfall. They put in such a high number of | :16:35. | :16:38. | |
transfer requests it caused suspicion, and they made a big | :16:39. | :16:48. | |
error. One request was to this foundation but there spelling was | :16:49. | :16:52. | |
not up to scratch. So the transfer was stopped. I wanted to understand | :16:53. | :17:03. | |
how this scam worked. The computer system was hacked and | :17:04. | :17:07. | |
they sent 35 money transfer request to the US Federal Reserve bank but | :17:08. | :17:16. | |
only five were executed. This meant about 100 million US dollars | :17:17. | :17:22. | |
siphoned from the account but the original request was for $1 billion, | :17:23. | :17:29. | |
so 80 million went to a commercial bank in the Philippines in different | :17:30. | :17:34. | |
accounts and that money was laundered in three casinos in the | :17:35. | :17:37. | |
Philippines and ended up in accounts in Hong Kong. 20 million went to Sri | :17:38. | :17:45. | |
Lanka but the bank staff were suspicious because the name of the | :17:46. | :17:50. | |
foundation was incorrectly spelt so that was stopped, and that saved 20 | :17:51. | :17:55. | |
million dollars worth being siphoned. It is a complicated trail. | :17:56. | :18:03. | |
Any idea who is behind it? Nobody knows. The government set up a | :18:04. | :18:08. | |
3-member committee to investigate what happened, whether the IT | :18:09. | :18:18. | |
structure was weak, whether the bank was vulnerable. When you lose this | :18:19. | :18:24. | |
kind of money politically it will be very difficult. Bangladesh bank had | :18:25. | :18:30. | |
kept the finance Ministry in total darkness and the finance minister | :18:31. | :18:34. | |
was really angry because the government did not know anything and | :18:35. | :18:41. | |
the whole thing came in the Philippine press and that's when the | :18:42. | :18:46. | |
whole story came out in the open. Initially it was thought that the | :18:47. | :18:51. | |
fault was when the Federal Reserve and that was said that the | :18:52. | :18:56. | |
Bangladesh government would take legal action but then they found out | :18:57. | :19:01. | |
the Bangladesh bank knew about it and they were taking steps to | :19:02. | :19:05. | |
recover the money. Michael Jackson's estate has sold | :19:06. | :19:11. | |
its interest in a huge music catalogue. Sony is buying it so it | :19:12. | :19:14. | |
will get the rights to around 3 million songs, by the Beatles, Dylan | :19:15. | :19:21. | |
and Taylor Swift among others. Some people might be surprised to know | :19:22. | :19:24. | |
Michael Jackson owned all these songs in the first place. As well as | :19:25. | :19:29. | |
being a talented singer he was also a shrewd businessman, certainly when | :19:30. | :19:35. | |
it came to music copyright. He started buying up some of the rights | :19:36. | :19:41. | |
to these songs back in 1985. Then in about 1995 he went into a joint | :19:42. | :19:48. | |
venture with Sony and now his estate are selling the remaining share in | :19:49. | :19:54. | |
this business to Sony. What is worth pointing out is Michael Jackson's on | :19:55. | :20:06. | |
songs are not included. Sony wants to spend this money. Presumably you | :20:07. | :20:12. | |
can still make money from music. I don't know if you stream music but | :20:13. | :20:17. | |
increasingly people do not necessarily on a track, they're not | :20:18. | :20:22. | |
going out to buy a CD record, but increasingly each time listen to a | :20:23. | :20:27. | |
song on a streaming service, the chances are a streaming service is | :20:28. | :20:31. | |
paying royalties back to the company which owns the copyright, so there | :20:32. | :20:38. | |
is money to be made. Thank you. Let's talk about what the Duke of | :20:39. | :20:42. | |
Cambridge has said today. He has unveiled plans to crack down on the | :20:43. | :20:47. | |
trade in illegally killed wildlife and we are going to focus on | :20:48. | :20:52. | |
elephants in a moment. Part of this is a declaration signed by 40 | :20:53. | :21:00. | |
companies, airlines, Portland customs officers, and he was some of | :21:01. | :21:06. | |
what Prince William has said. We have faced up to the fact that if | :21:07. | :21:10. | |
current trends continue the last wild African elephants and rhinos | :21:11. | :21:14. | |
will be killed before my daughter reaches her 25th birthday. We have | :21:15. | :21:20. | |
accepted that if we let some of our most iconic species go extinct on | :21:21. | :21:25. | |
our watch, our collective confidence to tackle any conservation or | :21:26. | :21:28. | |
environmental challenge will take a massive blow. And we have accepted | :21:29. | :21:36. | |
that the poacher crisis is not just a tragedy because of the impact it | :21:37. | :21:41. | |
has on animals but because of its effect on some of the most | :21:42. | :21:44. | |
vulnerable people on our planet. Butchers and traffickers bring | :21:45. | :21:47. | |
brutal violence into desperately poor parts of the world. We can pick | :21:48. | :21:52. | |
up on that last point. Less than half a million elephants left in | :21:53. | :22:04. | |
Africa. Poachers and Rangers are always in conflict. Our | :22:05. | :22:09. | |
correspondent has set a report. It's tough terrain in | :22:10. | :22:20. | |
Garamba National Park, where less than 100 rangers | :22:21. | :22:22. | |
are trying to protect the last of the elephants across thousands | :22:23. | :22:25. | |
of square miles of grassland. We joined one of their foot | :22:26. | :22:27. | |
patrols to a place where The grass is so high, | :22:28. | :22:30. | |
the only way to see a carcass is from the air and then | :22:31. | :22:36. | |
to direct the rangers in. Well, this elephant was clearly | :22:37. | :22:53. | |
killed by a poacher. Its ivory tusks were hacked off, | :22:54. | :22:55. | |
it's been dead about three weeks. There are another four of these | :22:56. | :23:00. | |
caucuses spread all around -- There are another four of these | :23:01. | :23:10. | |
carcasses spread all around They arrived too late | :23:11. | :23:12. | |
to catch the poachers, 30,000-40,000 elephants are being | :23:13. | :23:16. | |
killed in Africa every year. And with only around 400,000 left, | :23:17. | :23:19. | |
it's not going to be long, And with so few boots on the ground, | :23:20. | :23:22. | |
those responsible often get away "We followed their footprints", | :23:23. | :23:26. | |
one of the rangers told me. There are perhaps 1,300 | :23:27. | :23:30. | |
elephants left here. Garamba was one of Africa's first | :23:31. | :23:36. | |
national parks and a World Heritage site, originally set up to protect | :23:37. | :23:43. | |
the northern white rhino, but that has already been | :23:44. | :23:48. | |
wiped out by poachers. Now, they're fighting | :23:49. | :23:54. | |
to save the elephants that are left, in a place surrounded by civil war | :23:55. | :23:57. | |
and heavily armed militia. And that's why African Parks, | :23:58. | :24:04. | |
the group managing Garamba, But the weapons are old, | :24:05. | :24:12. | |
few hit even a close target. Training rangers takes a lot of time | :24:13. | :24:21. | |
and money and the men they're up This really does feel like you're | :24:22. | :24:26. | |
fighting a war against poachers? I think Garamba is probably today | :24:27. | :24:32. | |
at the forefront of conservation, I just don't think that many other | :24:33. | :24:38. | |
places have so much contact and so many threats to one | :24:39. | :24:44. | |
park as we have here. This local man was arrested after | :24:45. | :24:48. | |
