:00:11. > :00:14.Hello, I'm Ros Atkins, this is Outside Source.

:00:15. > :00:21.Yesterday we reported that the former president would be

:00:22. > :00:23.given a cabinet position, despite being caught up

:00:24. > :00:27.Well now a court has blocked that move -

:00:28. > :00:30.and there's been protests on both sides.

:00:31. > :00:34.EU leaders are meeting again on the migrant crisis.

:00:35. > :00:37.They're trying to work out the details of a plan with Turkey

:00:38. > :00:46.to reduce the number of people reaching Greece.

:00:47. > :00:50.We will be live in Brussels with more on that.

:00:51. > :00:59.John Kerry has accused so-called Islamic State of committing genocide

:01:00. > :01:16.And as ever if you have any questions on the stories we cover,

:01:17. > :01:26.this is how to contact us. Brazil continues to be

:01:27. > :01:31.consumed by its politics. It's all focused on the former

:01:32. > :01:35.President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva and current president

:01:36. > :01:40.Dilma Rousseff. She wanted to appoint him

:01:41. > :01:42.as her Chief of Staff - an unusual move - that now appears

:01:43. > :01:45.to have been scuppered This whole matter is so potent

:01:46. > :01:52.because if Lula were in the cabinet he'd be immune from

:01:53. > :01:56.most prosecutions. That's relevant because prosecutors

:01:57. > :01:59.want to charge him in relation him to a corruption scandal -

:02:00. > :02:18.though, we must emphasise, There have been protests on both

:02:19. > :02:22.sides in the country. There is growing tension outside the

:02:23. > :02:27.presidential palace where groups gathered to demonstrate for a second

:02:28. > :02:34.time. Here are people demonstrating to defend President Rousseff and the

:02:35. > :02:39.appointment of Lula. Overhear people are calling for the impeachment of

:02:40. > :02:42.President Rousseff and protesting against Howard Government. The

:02:43. > :02:50.police are in the middle, on this dividing line. To prevent

:02:51. > :02:53.competition from happening. If it was not complicated enough.

:02:54. > :03:05.There is a further twist. The BBC's Brazilian Service,

:03:06. > :03:07.delved deeper into past of the federal judge carrying

:03:08. > :03:09.out the investigation On it are posts shares and pictures

:03:10. > :03:12.supporting the opposition. The suggestion being that his

:03:13. > :03:24.personal political leanings This account now seems to have been

:03:25. > :03:32.taken down. This is a complicated story.

:03:33. > :03:34.Do we know who has the greater strength, the judge or the

:03:35. > :03:43.President? In this case it is the judge. Any

:03:44. > :03:49.judge in Brazil, the federal judge, can suspend an administrative

:03:50. > :03:55.decision, which is what happened. But he is only one of the judges at

:03:56. > :03:59.the centre of this situation. He is not the main judge taking care of

:04:00. > :04:04.the corruption investigation. He is just one judge who said, Lula has

:04:05. > :04:11.been nominated but he should not have been. This puts into light the

:04:12. > :04:15.problem that we have here. Many are criticising the justice system and

:04:16. > :04:20.judges like himself, they say they are acting politically.

:04:21. > :04:25.The next thing I want to discuss business telephone call that has

:04:26. > :04:27.been released. It has been released by a judge, between the President

:04:28. > :04:36.and the former President. This is how it went.

:04:37. > :04:42.Sorry about that. Everyone is saying Sorry about that. Everyone is saying

:04:43. > :04:45.it is important. I have looked at the transcript. I do not know why it

:04:46. > :04:55.is so important. There is no smoking gun. It is quite

:04:56. > :05:00.a short call. President Rousseff says to Lula that she will send

:05:01. > :05:07.someone over with papers for him to sign in case of necessity. Those

:05:08. > :05:15.papers were actually a that States that he will be sworn in as the

:05:16. > :05:21.chief of staff. Opposition to the Government says that this indicates

:05:22. > :05:27.that they were indeed trying to obstruct investigations against Lula

:05:28. > :05:32.by making him chief of staff in case he was to be prosecuted. But the

:05:33. > :05:36.Government says, no, they were preparing for the possibility that

:05:37. > :05:38.he was not able to go to the ceremony.

:05:39. > :05:42.For those of us who do not know Brazil as well as you do, it is all

:05:43. > :05:49.this political drama, the broader corruption scandal. To what degree

:05:50. > :05:52.does this prevent the Government going about its business?

:05:53. > :05:58.Life in Brazil has come to a standstill. We are in the middle of

:05:59. > :06:03.a huge corruption investigation that has seen top politicians and

:06:04. > :06:07.executives arrested or implicated in a way. We are in the middle of one

:06:08. > :06:14.of the worst economic recessions in decades. All of this adds to the

:06:15. > :06:18.instability in the Government of President Rousseff and in the

:06:19. > :06:22.country. It is like a chess board. Everybody is waiting for the other

:06:23. > :06:28.side to make the next move. Thank you. Those of you who speak

:06:29. > :06:34.Portuguese can follow this story on BBC Brazil. And you have got to see

:06:35. > :06:35.all this in the context of the fact that the Rio Olympics are just

:06:36. > :06:39.months away. They're trying to fix down this deal

:06:40. > :06:44.with Turkey on the migrant crisis. Lest anyone thought

:06:45. > :06:47.this would be easy. European Council President Donald

:06:48. > :06:54.Tusk noted on the invitation to the summit that there

:06:55. > :06:57.are a catalogue of issues The aim of all of this is to ease

:06:58. > :07:04.the pressure on the heavily used route into Europe

:07:05. > :07:11.though the Balkans. The proposed plan would see migrants

:07:12. > :07:20.who arrive in Greece from Turkey And for each Syrian returned,

:07:21. > :07:25.a registered Syrian already in Turkey would be

:07:26. > :07:41.resettled in the EU. The idea is to dissuade people from

:07:42. > :07:49.making the journey to these. I am looking for work to a credible

:07:50. > :07:56.Agreement today in order to try to deduce or to stop the illegal flows

:07:57. > :07:59.from Turkey to the Greek islands. We have said what we will do in terms

:08:00. > :08:04.of taking Syrian refugees to Britain. That is underway. We will

:08:05. > :08:10.not take more because of what is discussed here today. But if we get

:08:11. > :08:12.an Agreement that will return the migrants to Turkey that with the

:08:13. > :08:17.progress. Just to remind you since January

:08:18. > :08:30.2015 a million migrants and refugees have entered the EU by boat

:08:31. > :08:54.into Greece from Turkey. Over 45,000 migrants are in police.

:08:55. > :09:01.-- in Greece. This is how the New York Times has described the

:09:02. > :09:06.situation. A journey across Greece, a bankrupt land at risk of becoming

:09:07. > :09:10.a refugee prison. Those who have reached President Rousseff have

:09:11. > :09:25.survived a fraught journey from Turkey. Just making it. -- those who

:09:26. > :09:49.have reached Greece have survived the fraught journey.

:09:50. > :10:07.The journey from the turkeys sure to the Greek sure was horrific -- from

:10:08. > :11:18.Turkey. The key to any Agreement is Turkey.

:11:19. > :11:24.It is currently home to millions of refugees. The German Prime Minister

:11:25. > :11:32.has been praising what has been done. In return for what Turkey is

:11:33. > :11:39.doing the EU is offering Visa three travel to Europe for citizens from

:11:40. > :11:48.Turkey and a fresh push over the potential membership of Turkey in

:11:49. > :11:54.the EU. We will get to potential EU membership of Turkey in a moment

:11:55. > :11:57.that we are with the negotiations? They are underway. The leaders are

:11:58. > :12:06.having their dinner here now and discussing the detail, then that and

:12:07. > :12:10.bolts of this plan. There are many difficulties to overcome. We have

:12:11. > :12:15.talked about political ones. Let us talk about other ones. Legal ones.

:12:16. > :12:20.Going into the talks some of the leaders were very concerned that

:12:21. > :12:27.this plan stretches to the limit what is legal under international

:12:28. > :12:37.human rights law, Geneva Convention. On the Greek side everyone arriving

:12:38. > :12:41.in Greece, international losses they cannot be deported en masse. They

:12:42. > :12:48.would have to have their cases heard individually. That is one hurdle.

:12:49. > :12:53.The second hurdle, on the Turkish side, in order to return people

:12:54. > :12:58.legally, they have to be afforded protection in Turkey, where they are

:12:59. > :13:04.going to, and at the moment Turkey does not do that for anyone other

:13:05. > :13:08.than Syrians. A potential legal problem there. That is one problem

:13:09. > :13:13.that the leaders are trying to find a formula that they can make work.

:13:14. > :13:18.I was surprised to issue of the potential membership of Turkey came

:13:19. > :13:24.because surely some embers of the EU simply will not where this?

:13:25. > :13:30.There are real problems with this. Most European leaders say this as a

:13:31. > :13:35.far of prospect, that Turkey is not likely to join the EU any time soon

:13:36. > :13:39.but that it is important for Turkey and for adulation is with the EU to

:13:40. > :13:45.try to see some movement in a process that has been going on for

:13:46. > :13:49.more than a couple of decades. The difficulties particularly revolve

:13:50. > :13:53.around the island of Cyprus. It is an EU member but the island is

:13:54. > :13:58.divided. The northern half has Turkish troops. The type dish

:13:59. > :14:06.Government does not represent the Government and the southern half. --

:14:07. > :14:10.the Government of Turkey does not recognise the Government in the

:14:11. > :14:15.southern half. Batters part of a conundrum they are trying to resolve

:14:16. > :14:23.tonight. More migrants come into Europe from

:14:24. > :14:27.Syria and Iraq than from any other country. Many of them are skipping a

:14:28. > :14:38.violence from so-called Islamic State. -- many of them are escaping

:14:39. > :14:46.violence. For the first time the United States Government has talked

:14:47. > :14:51.of genocide. This is the message it conveys to

:14:52. > :14:56.children under its control. Its entire worldview is based on

:14:57. > :15:01.eliminating those who do not subscribe to its perverse ideology.

:15:02. > :15:06.There is no question in my mind that if Daesh succeeded in establishing a

:15:07. > :15:10.so-called caliphate it would seek to destroy what remains of ethnic and

:15:11. > :15:18.religious mosaic once thriving in the region.

:15:19. > :15:23.And he mentioned a long article written by a BBC correspondent about

:15:24. > :15:30.the historical context behind the emergence of the so-called Islamic

:15:31. > :15:34.State group. It'll give you a good idea why this group currently

:15:35. > :15:41.exists. You can get that on their website. We have come all this way

:15:42. > :15:45.without talking about Donald Trump. We will put that right in the next

:15:46. > :15:51.few minutes. Eight well-known consultancy group has put the

:15:52. > :16:00.possibility of him becoming resident in its top ten risks in the world.

:16:01. > :16:03.Following the budget yesterday a Conservative MP has warned the

:16:04. > :16:09.Chancellor against plans to change benefits payments for disabled

:16:10. > :16:13.people. The MP said many colleagues have

:16:14. > :16:23.expressed concerns and it risks hitting the wrong people.

:16:24. > :16:29.640,000 people could be affected. People will not necessarily lose

:16:30. > :16:32.money. The most vulnerable will be protected, says the Government. We

:16:33. > :16:39.have to keep this under review but the proposals which are still under

:16:40. > :16:45.consultation, go to far. They are not acceptable and they leave a lot

:16:46. > :16:50.of people feeling concerned, people that are in receipt of it. It

:16:51. > :16:54.affects how people feel about the system as Nixon fearful of the

:16:55. > :17:07.system, but also financially, we do not need to make these changes.

:17:08. > :17:11.There are other things we could do. We have been live in Brussels

:17:12. > :17:14.already. We will be good to Washington, DC and New York in a

:17:15. > :17:20.moment. First, the lead story. There have been protests in Brazil after a

:17:21. > :17:25.court suspended the nomination of former President Lula to a cabinet

:17:26. > :17:29.position. Critics say he was given the post to try and dodge

:17:30. > :17:35.allegations of corruption. And in the World Service, a Kurdish

:17:36. > :17:46.military group which claimed responsibility for the attack in

:17:47. > :17:51.Ankara. The President of Russia says Russia

:17:52. > :17:56.will continue to support the Syrian Government and could hold up

:17:57. > :18:05.military presence within hours if needed.

:18:06. > :18:14.Thousands of you have been looking at this footage of a meteor filmed

:18:15. > :18:26.in the skies of the UK. You can see those pictures on the UK website.

:18:27. > :18:31.Let us begin business by talking about a report from a consultancy

:18:32. > :18:35.that offers an analysis on global affairs. On it is today it has

:18:36. > :18:43.posted what it considers to be a top ten risk to global stability.

:18:44. > :18:46.Top of the list, the economy of China. We have topped about this

:18:47. > :18:52.before. Growth is slowing. It also puts

:18:53. > :18:56.close to the top of the list the European Union and the risk of that

:18:57. > :19:03.institution fracturing. Go further down the list. At number six you

:19:04. > :19:08.will find Donald Trump. He is equal number six with a jihadist violence

:19:09. > :19:20.and the impact that can have on global stability.

:19:21. > :19:26.Even if you are a critic of Donald Trump it still seems likely to have

:19:27. > :19:32.him on a par with jihadist violence. Why does this thing TAC justify this

:19:33. > :19:36.analysis? Because of over the top rhetoric on

:19:37. > :19:44.immigration, possibly starting a trade war with China, targeting the

:19:45. > :19:50.families of militants, bellicose rhetoric. They say all of this could

:19:51. > :19:53.destabilise the world and they say he does not have a foreign policy

:19:54. > :19:58.team to spell out the detail of this. He leaves a lot of it to the

:19:59. > :20:03.imagination and people are imagining the worst.

:20:04. > :20:09.It plays into the hands of the rhetoric of Donald Trump?

:20:10. > :20:13.Absolutely. He will point to the global elite worrying about him and

:20:14. > :20:18.making America strong again as taking charge. The kind of people

:20:19. > :20:24.who are supporters of Donald Trump will not be reading this report.

:20:25. > :20:29.An article said that Donald Trump is focusing on three cheat and he is

:20:30. > :20:35.against free trade deals and a lot of American workers agree with that.

:20:36. > :20:40.The Economist is keen on free trade. Perhaps it is not so keen on the

:20:41. > :20:44.view of Donald Trump of it. Absolutely. That is probably the

:20:45. > :20:52.main reason why he is so high on this list or on this list at all. He

:20:53. > :20:56.has made American protectionism a key part of his message. Immigration

:20:57. > :21:00.get a lot of the headlines but what has helped win votes in the midwest

:21:01. > :21:05.in particular for people have seen their jobs go overseas is the idea

:21:06. > :21:10.that. Countries like China and Mexico from taking US companies and

:21:11. > :21:18.having them relocate there. Thank you.

:21:19. > :21:26.Next we will start on a story about a fashion firm based in the US that

:21:27. > :21:38.has been repute by a watchdog for feeling to point out that Instagram

:21:39. > :21:43.postings where adverts. In their case of this post that did

:21:44. > :21:47.not happen. We were not told that the dress was provided for free and

:21:48. > :21:50.that the person who shared this image had been paid thousands of

:21:51. > :21:55.dollars. Let us bring in a correspondent from

:21:56. > :22:00.New York. I am guessing thousands of people want to get away with this,

:22:01. > :22:07.if you want something to seem authentic the fact it has been paid

:22:08. > :22:15.for has a negative impact. Influencers, people who are

:22:16. > :22:19.well-connected, they have grown in popularity and in their ability to

:22:20. > :22:25.make a living with the rise of social media whether it be Instagram

:22:26. > :22:31.or a. The retailer was trying to capitalise on this trend. The paid

:22:32. > :22:37.50 people to post photos of themselves. They all posted within a

:22:38. > :22:40.certain time frame pictures of themselves wearing this paisley

:22:41. > :22:46.print dress and apparently the dress sold out by the end of the weekend

:22:47. > :22:49.but the problem is they fell foul of the rules in the United States and

:22:50. > :22:53.the trade regulator picked them up on it and said you did not make it

:22:54. > :22:57.clear that these were actually endorsements, that you were paying

:22:58. > :23:01.these people, and therefore these posts should have had a sign an

:23:02. > :23:09.accord saying this was advert. This is another story. Nikkei has

:23:10. > :23:16.unveiled self leasing shoes. They are not going to unveil them to the

:23:17. > :23:21.public until the end of the year and you have to use an app from the

:23:22. > :23:27.company. When I saw this story I was sceptical. Is it a PR stunt? I did

:23:28. > :23:33.not get the chance to check it out but I am told apparently there is a

:23:34. > :23:38.sensor in your heel and you press a button and it magically lease is up.

:23:39. > :23:44.It goes back to the movie back to the future too, the idea of self

:23:45. > :23:49.leasing shoes. Back then it was a stunt. But the manufacturer says

:23:50. > :23:55.these ones are. What you are saying is this fusion of where fashion or

:23:56. > :24:00.fitness year meets technology. This company is obviously the latest but

:24:01. > :24:04.there are other fitness and fashion companies investing heavily in

:24:05. > :24:11.technology. You will see more of this where the technology going

:24:12. > :24:15.forward. Thank you. If you want to see more pictures of that go to the

:24:16. > :24:22.front page of the business section of the BBC website.

:24:23. > :24:26.Next I want to talk about SeaWorld who have announced they will end the

:24:27. > :24:31.killer of real breeding programme. Not long ago they said they would

:24:32. > :24:36.stop all sorts of live shows like these. But now the bleeding

:24:37. > :24:41.programme is going as well. The wheel is currently at the park will

:24:42. > :24:45.stay there for the rest of their lives. The reason, say SeaWorld, as

:24:46. > :24:50.if they were released they would not survive. They will be the last

:24:51. > :24:58.generation at SeaWorld. There might be a business reason for this

:24:59. > :25:04.because there was a critical film released, since then visitors have

:25:05. > :25:08.gone down, this is what has happened to this year price. It has gone down

:25:09. > :25:19.by almost half. It has taken a big hit. The chief executive of SeaWorld

:25:20. > :25:33.wrote an article in the LA Times. Here are a couple of quartz.

:25:34. > :25:45.I also mention that film that was critical of the company. The

:25:46. > :25:50.director of that film said this. That is all for the first half of

:25:51. > :26:15.outside source. It is that time of the evening

:26:16. > :26:16.really look at whether stories from around the world. We are going to
