21/03/2016 Outside Source

thanks for joining me on today's outside source. MUSIC Barack Obama

receives a ceremonial welcome in Havana, he is the first US president

to visit since the commonest revolution in 1959. If we stay on

this course we can deliver a better and brighter future for both the

Cuban people and the American people. This footage has been

released of the moment when a suspect in the Paris attacks was

shot and caught. We will show you details of that in a moment 's time.

The row over equal pay or otherwise is continuing in the tennis world

after Novak Djokovic says that male players should be paid more. And it

is ten years since Twitter started, we will look at some of the most

memorable ones and look at whether Twitter will be around in ten years'

time. It is day two of Barack Obama's

visit in Cuba, he met President Castro earlier, both men made

statements and they took questions from journalists. Here is what was

said. As you indicated, the road ahead will not be easy. Fortunately

we don't have to swim with sharks in order to achieve the goals that you

and I have set forth. As you say in Cuba, despite the difficulties we

will continue to move forward. TRANSLATION: The blockade stands as

the most important obstacle of our economic development and the

well-being of the Cuban people, that is why its removal will be obvious

and is to normalise bilateral relations. I just spotted this tweet

from one of the BBC correspondent in American, it is hard not to be

impressed with that one, you suspect he was pleased to get it. The next

report was from the BBC News editor, here is that report. Somewhere under

this canopy of arm bowlers is the president of the United States, the

first Lady and their two daughters. This was meant to be a walkabout to

meet the people, not dodge the puddles. They can solve them was

caught as they entered the National Cathedral. Then he spoke to an

American network. The time is right, obviously our intention has always

been to get the ball rolling, knowing that change wasn't going to

happen overnight. But what we have already seen, is the reopening of

the embassy, and although we still have significant differences around

human rights, and individual liberties inside of Cuba, we felt

that this now would maximise our ability to accomplish more change.

But it is going to be anything but plain sailing, it may only be 90

miles from here to the US coast but there is a gulf on a range of

issues. This is not quite the weather that the White House had

anticipated when they said they would come to Cuba, the atmospherics

remain extremely difficult. Administration officials say that

there are still big disagreements between the two sides that have not

been resolved. Not that that was on show as the two president stood to

attention while a Cuban military band played US national anthem, a

remarkable image in of itself. But with the ceremonial over, there was

much to discuss. The US wanted to talk about human rights and freedom

of expression, the Cuban say they will take no lectures from the US

while Guantanamo Bay is open. Big differences but in a relationship

that has been transformed. And this is also about President Obama's

legacy, with the Middle East in turmoil, the normalisation of

relations in Cuba he will claim has a foreign policy success which is

why that these images will be for the scrapbook. Also for the BBC is

Laura Trevelyan, let us go live to her on outside source. In his report

he was talking about the differences between the two countries, but is it

primarily about stating how far they have come? I think it is about both,

and in the press conference, that the two men just had, which by the

way was historic by Cuban standards, they made public statements and

there was a bit of drama beforehand about whether they would take

questions and they both did. President Castro and President Obama

so that was fascinating in of itself. Both men talked about the

changes between their two countries in a way that was positive. But both

men talked about what role Castro called the profound differences,

what President Obama referred to as the irritant and the differences of

course are the attitude towards democracy and human rights. Cuba is

a 1-party state, it doesn't have democratic elections. That is the

way it has been since the revolution in 1959. The US says that Cuba has a

poor record on human rights, one independent group has said that

since January, 1400 activists have been detained by the Cuban

government. President Obama talking about how the US would continue to

speak out on the importance of democracy, is human rights and

freedom of expression and role Castro effectively accusing the US

of double standards, saying that human rights have been politicised,

and that the Cubans regard education and health as things that they could

not be. And they will sit down tonight to a state dinner. You are

normally based in Washington, DC and if you had travelled to the

Caribbean, say the Bahamas, you would see US culture everywhere. Can

you see any evidence of US culture starting to influence Cuba since

relations were restored? It is a very interesting question, talking

to young Cubans. What everybody does is they download American movies, if

they can get hold of a memory stick that is what they will do, and you

will watch the latest American movie and you will hope that someone has

brought it back from the States. But there are no overt signs of American

culture. In fact one of the most interesting things I have found is

how much people want Internet access and how absolutely terrible the

Internet is. If you can save the Internet is American, some of the

biggest tech companies are American and Google has been saying that they

will try and improve Cuban access to the Internet but it is fascinating.

One of the changes that has come about in nations between the US and

Cuba is that they, the Cubans are now providing it by Wi-Fi hotspots

and it is not cheap or good Internet and you get kicked out all of the

time. Young people say that they want to be online and talking to

their friends, knowledge is power as one young Cubans said to me. That to

me has been the most striking thing, something that we take granted for

the West, here is very restricted and so longed. White please spend a

bit longer talking about that press conference, we see President Obama

answering questions all of the time. What sort of questions were asked of

President Castro and how did he respond? He was asked about where is

Cuba going? That was a question from a prominent American journalist, he

speaks in a very cryptic manner. It is fascinating to see and a lot of

that was foreshadowed by watching Cuban state TV which I have been

watching the last couple of mornings, whether coverage is very

respectful but they also use this chance to get across things where

they'd disagree with the US. For example, Guantanamo Bay, that

President Castro raised, just off Cuba, President Castro called it

illegal occupation, of Guantanamo Bay and they feel very strongly

about it. It is interesting that President Castro talked about

civilised coexistence between America and Cuba. This is a phrase

that is meant to have great resonance, a new beginning, no

longer is the United States a historic enemy as it has been since

the revolution of 1959 against an American backed government, so

interesting to hear President Castro speaking, and just the way that he

phrased things. Thank you very much indeed and I will let you get back

to your preparations, hosting a special edition of our American

programme. And you will see Laura on world News America direct on outside

source, some of you. To Cuba, some extraordinary footage. It shows the

moment that the suspect in the Paris attacks, was shot and apprehended.

If I just move the video along, there are a couple of steps and a

doorway, that is what we should focus on the video, if we go to a

different angle and again, you can't see too much and the camera pans up

and suddenly, this man starts running down the street. There is

immediately a sharp fall this man to stop, she doesn't stop and he

carries on -- and gunshots ring out. He was

injured and captured on a rate during the same day but we can't be

sure if this is him. There is more on this in a moment, and details of

another suspect being details in this latest report. This is the

heart of Mormon Beck where Europe's most wanted man had been hiding in

plain sight. They knock on the door of a 3-storey building and a woman

dressed in a hijab is shuffled away from the entrance. Who else is in

the apartment? A police dog is sent in with a camera and comes out with

pictures of the inside. A team of three men behind a ballistic shield

move slowly to the open door. And then suddenly, he bolts.

(GUNFIRE) The authorities now suspect that he had been hidden by

people linked to the drugs trade but also connected to people in Syria,

Fiat access to weapons and he has told investigators that he was ready

to strike again. He was ready to restart something from Brussels, and

it is maybe the reality because I have said that we have found a lot

of weapons, heavy weapons, in the first investigations and we have

seen a new network of people in Brussels. And today they named a new

suspect, 24, returned from Syria and was last seen at the Austrian border

two months before the Paris attacks. And what about this man who drove

him to Paris? There is one man who knows it all and he is the man in

custody. Let us which our attention to the Hague, because Bemba, a

former leader, has been found guilty of war crimes comedies accused of

failing to stop his rebels from killing and raping people in the

Central African Republic in 2002 and 2003. The National criminal Court is

now in session. Mr Bemba showed no emotion is a tool, while the verdict

was being read. The chamber finds Mr Bemba guilty under article 208A of

the statute. This verdict is the result of a five-year trial,

prosecutors had sought to demonstrate that as a military

commander, he was in charge of his forces but did nothing to stop them

from committing atrocities. The militia group known as the Congolese

liberation movement had gone into the neighbouring Central African

Republic in 2002 to help the then president to put down an attempted

coup. It is alleged that the troops went on a rampage killing and raping

hundreds of civilians as well as looting. Members and former

collaborators of Bemba travel to the Hague to show their support on the

day of the verdict. TRANSLATION: The court recognised that there were

other main protagonist with allies on both sides but the court only

prosecuted Mr Bemba. It is obvious this is selective justice, I am at

peace and I'm happy to see that Mr Bemba is two, he is very confident

that he has nothing to feel guilty about. Today is a big day for the

victims, and for myself as their representative, because today the

International Justice recognises the victim and their suffering.

This is the first case and the International Criminal Court

to have primarily focused on rape as a weapon of war.

Mr Bemba's conviction has set a precedent for prosecution

of military commanders who overlook such crimes.

His lawyers are expected to appeal today's verdict.

We have got some breaking news, gunmen have attacked a base of the

European Union military training mission in the capital. Reuters I'll

quoting a Defence Ministry official saying that unidentified gunmen

attacked a hotel that has been converted into an EU military

training base and they have also got quoted saying that the attackers

tried to force through the entry and the guards posted in front of the

entrance opened fire, one attacker was killed but the gunfire continued

for several minutes. We have also had confirmation from the Mali

Defence Ministry that shots had been fired. There is a lot of different

information coming in, we are not clear if the whole incident is over

or not. You can access things through the screen at the same time

as it comes through BBC News. More on that as we get it. In the next

few minutes, we will be talking about President Obama in Cuba again,

we will be focusing on the Cuban tourist industry and how new

relations are bringing the money from the US. David Cameron has been

in the House of Commons defending the government record on fighting

poverty after scrapping planned cuts to benefits for disabled people.

David Cameron has been under fire from some in his own party over

those planned changes. Without sound public finances, you end up having

to raise taxes or make even deeper cuts in spending, you don't get more

opportunity that way, you get less opportunity that way. We know that

when that happens, it is working people that suffer as we saw in

Labour's recession so we must continue to cut the deficit, control

the cost of welfare and live within our means. We must not burden on our

children and grandchildren with debts that we did not have the

courage to pay off ourselves. So securing our economy, extending

opportunity, we will continue with this approach in full because we are

a modern, compassionate one nation Conservative government. Welcome

back to the BBC newsroom, this is outside source, our lead story is

coming from Cuba. President Obama has met Ralph Castro in Cuba, they

have agreed there are still many differences despite the recent

forward momentum. Some of the main stories from the World Service,

first from China, one of its richest men says that it believes that

China's chances of hosting the World Cup have improved because his

company won the group has become a major Fifa sponsor. Organisers of

the 2022 addition in Qatar are considering using bed Windstar tense

as accommodation for fans, apparently there is concern that

they will not be enough hotels. And this is part of a report on a new

type of protective eyewear which is being trialled in the UK, to guard

police helicopter pilots from lasers. If you have been online in

the last few hours you won't have missed this. Twitter is ten years

old, ten years ago the first tweet was sent, we are now up to 500

million tweets per day. We had the task of sifting through a few. Just

setting up my Twitter is what this man wrote in 2006 and it was not

another six months before they decided to add a few more bowels to

the name. Twitter would not be a twitter without any hashtags. The

first ever one, was from the social technology expert. This incredible

shot of a plane that landed on the Hudson River confirmed twitter as

being breaking news. At the December 2012, they were joined by Pope

Benedict. But not all public figures are so good at using twitter.

British politician Ed Balls managed to accidentally twitter his own

name. But by far the most popular person's president Barack Obama,

when he was re-elected in 2012, this was the most retweeted picture ever.

But President Obama's tweet has been overtaken by the infamous Oscar self

feat that has been retweeted more than 3 million times. When it comes

to Twitter, it is this tweet that changed everything, the company

announced in 2013 that it would go public and float on the stock

exchange. That big decision led twitter to where it is today.

Despite years of phenomenal success, the site is not growing fast enough

and many people are choosing things like stab Chad or Instagram instead.

While it has been a fascinating ten years, he would not bet

your life savings on their being ten more. You mentioned President Obama,

let us return to Cuba, one of the main consequences of the warming of

relationships, is a far greater economic racial ship going back and

forth. The mentioned tourism for instance. It is just over 10% of

Cuban GDP, a hugely significant industry and this is an important

figure, from 2014 to 2015 the number of US tourists went up by 77%, they

need somewhere to stay which creates its own challenges. This is one of

the reports that Laura Trevelyan has made on this issue. The stunning

coastal setting of Havana, the history and charm makes the city and

irresistible draw for tourists. But let us not forget, the iconic 1950s

American cars. Off-limits to US visitors for so long, construction

is under way to cope with the demand now that relations between America

and Cuba are thawing. This is one of the most famous spots in Havana,

beloved by American movie stars and mobsters alike in the period before

the Cuban revolution and so many people now want to come to Cuba,

that hotels like this are facing competition not least from a bit of

American-style capitalism in the face of hair B People have been

sharing their homes in Cuba since the mid-90s although we have only

officially been open in the last year. He shows off one of the 2.5

thousand homes listed in Havana in his company, and now they can accept

bookings from all over the world and not just the US. Many more

travellers will be coming, we have a hundred flights a day from the US so

the huge influx of additional visitors. I think we can really help

those two scale. Officially, the rulers call these adjustments to the

system but for many Cubans, the society seems on a cusp of a great

change. Let us go from Havana to San Francisco, Tim Cook has been

launching another major Apple event. Let us bring in the Shell flurry

from the BBC. Let us start with the products, I'm making it sound quite

dramatic, new iPhone and knew how iPad, these are evolutions rather

than brand-new? That is right, Apple is known for hosting big events,

will they call them town hall events. That ground, big drama. --

huge background. In an important way, it is important but not that

dramatic from a consumer perspective. They have unveiled a

smaller iPhone and a smaller iPad, that will cost you less money. Some

of the power and the tools that you would expect in some of the latest

iPhones and iPads, but the idea is that the company would continue to

try and put smartphones in more people's hands, part of the problem

they are facing is that they close to reaching saturation point? They

are hoping that by reducing the price, not just the size, they will

win more customers particularly in emerging countries like India and

China. I suppose it is inevitable that the FBI came up, because of the

San Bernardino killer's phone, did we hear anything we have not heard

before? It was interesting, it was a product launch and yet he started

off the event talking about the fact that they have an obligation to help

protect customer data and privacy, he said, we owe it to our customers,

that we will not shrink from responsibility and it is worth

remembering that Tim Cook was speaking one day before Apple's

lawyers are due in court at a hearing and they will have to

respond to a judge over this order to assist the FBI in essentially

breaking into the iPhone of one of the attackers. Separately, Apple, no

stranger to court battles, there was another announcement today, that is

that the Supreme Court will hear an appeal from Samsun in a long

disputed patents fight. Thank you very much, we will have further

coverage on that story and all of the Apple stories, on the tech page

of the BBC website. Let us return to New Zealand, there is a cat that

appears to be fond of men's pants. I dead and much more about the story.

Have a look at this. I don't know what to say of the back

of that but if you want to see it again you can get it through the BBC

News at. I will speak to you in a moment. -- BBC news
