Hello, I'm Nuala McGovern, this is Outside Source.

More than 13,000 people have made the dangerous journey

from North Africa to Italy across the Mediterranean this year.

Many of them have made this dangerous journey through the Sahara

It's been a hugely significant day for Myanmar, where the first

civilian president in more than 50 years has been sworn in.

In OS sport we'll talk about Gary Neville, who's been

sacked as boss of Valencia after a difficult four months

And why an Australian university is encouraging its students to say

The arrival of the British in Australia is a contentious topic

The indigenous population sees it as an invasion.

But others refer to the arrival of Captain James Cook

Now, one of the top universities in the country has got involved

On the site of the cottage where Captain Cook who discovered

Australia was born... Well I wanted to find out

a bit more about this, so I spoke to Australian

journalist Ben Lewis, who explained that this debate

is nothing new in Australia. It is a debate not split down the

lines of indigenous and nonindigenous Australians. The

university says it is a guide, not rules, people do not have to to use

the language of invaded rather than settled. The guidelines have been

around a flea years and it was picked up by a Conservative leaning

newspaper and talk radio, which sparked an outcry from people saying

they were trying to represent Australian history. This has brought

it back to the fore. Kevin Rudd in 2008 issued an apology to the

aboriginal people. Do you think relations have moved forward from

that time or are in a better state? Many leaders said the stolen

generations, the apology was important to move on but now it is

practical steps. The majority would want to see things improved for the

indigenous community. There is a scheme trying to improve health care

and education but there is a difference with the average life

expectancy for an indigenous man is a ten years difference compared to

nonindigenous. Incarceration, 2-3% of the whole population imprisons,

for indigenous. It has partisan political support but the current

Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull said that more needs to be done. He is

somebody who would push perhaps the agenda of aboriginal people further?

Not necessarily, it has been a bipartisan issue and both major

parties acknowledge something needs to be done. Talking about history

and language, the issue of Australia Day, the national day, 26th of

January, when the first Fleet arrived in New South Wales. Many

people refer to it as invasion day, saying it is insensitive and should

be moved but you will not find a major political party supporting

such a move. Let's start Outside Source

sport with football. The Spanish club Valencia have

sacked the Englishman Gary Neville Olly Foster is at

the BBC Sport Centre. Good to have you with us. I was

reading reaction and some said it was such a tough job that Gary

Neville was almost to fail. It was brave, an Englishman abroad, when he

got the call to take over in December. Many flabbergasted by

this, but he is good friends with Peter Lynn and they have business

interests in England and Peter Lynn owns Valencia. Those in the no

thought it kind of makes sense but it was his first sole managerial

position. His brother Phil Neville was there and we understand will

carry on coaching at the club. 28 matches, four months, and the last

couple of months have been repetitive. He has just said he

needs more time, that he could turn the club around. He had to wait ten

matches to get his first league win in charge and the stats are not

pretty, winning ten out of 28 matches. But crucially he only won

three of 16 in the league. And he -- the club has eight more matches to

play and Peter Lynn could not take the chance to see Valencia relegated

because he was brought in to establish them in the top four. That

will not happen. It did not happen for Gary Neville. He said, I thought

I could turn this club around but I understand I am in a results

business. He probably knows better than anyone, but with Gary Neville,

any idea what he might do next? He has a coaching role with England and

was just on international duty with England and apparently his

good-humoured cellphone committed to that role under Roy Hodgson. He

delayed joining up with England to sort things out of Valencia, which

did not work out, obviously. He was held in high esteem and his role in

broadcasting, across Sky Sports, which carries Premier League for all

in the UK. We understand that job will be held open for him. As his

creditability -- has his credibility been damaged? Clearly his tactics

never quite worked in Spain. That story has been happening over the

past couple of hours. If you're a New Zealand or England

fan you might have been following live coverage

of the World T20 semifinal England won convincingly

by seven wickets. It means they'll face either

West Indies or the hosts India Joe Wilson watched

the action in Delhi. This victory for England looks

comprehensive and of course it was in the end but it did not seem that

way in the early stages of New Zealand's innings. Munro and Wilson

at the crease and a score of 200 looked on the cards but England

pegged it back, firstly through excellent fielding, taking all

catches, but also the accuracy and confidence of Stokes and Jordan. If

you have two pace rollers to go out six and over, that is almost unheard

of. In England's innings they wanted the start they got against South

Africa when chasing a mammoth total and again Jason Roy gave it to them.

He was lucky in the early stages, but he has the ability to play

classic looking cricket shots. And to change his game when the spinners

came on. We have seen nerves from England before, especially against

Afghanistan. There was Joe Root and Joss Buttler to see things home and

when Joss Buttler gets his eye in his six hitting is as good as

anybody. England have made the most of their extended stay in Delhi.

They will face different conditions in Kolkata in the final. What is key

is the confidence they have with them, whatever city they are

playing. It's all over -

#AUS have beaten #ENG by five runs That's on Sunday, and they'll face

Lionel Messi is one of the game's biggest stars, but what was meant

to be a charitable gesture from him He donated a pair of boots

during a TV appearance, Mohamed El-Sayed from BBC Arabic has

been explaining to me In a famous Egyptian TV programme

that was a programme that asks the guests to give them something to

auction for the poor and Lionel Messi offered shoes, which is

insulting for people in Egypt and the Arab culture because

colloquially, if you give people shoes, it is an insult. But they

were not regular shoes, they were football boots of what is considered

to be the greatest footballer of all time. People were angry because they

felt if he donated a shirt it would be different, if he donated money to

the poor it would be great benefit. That is why they did not like it and

there was an outcry. On social media, in the streets. Even in

Parliament, some politicians asked to Lionel Messi to give the boots do

his country instead of Egypt. Has there been sympathy from Lionel

Messi? I think it was well-intentioned. The minority of

football fans understood that and said it was common in the west for a

sports person to give something like shoes for auction for charitable

reasons, but they are in the minority. Nobody sympathised with

him. In a moment we will talk about this, the closest patient relative

of a spider discovered, having lived 300 million years ago.

The NHS in England has failed to employ enough nurses and health

visitors to cope with a big rise in patient numbers over

Figures out today show there was just over a one per cent

rise in the number of new recruits up to September last year.

GP referrals were up 16%. The government said it had recruited

extra nurses and was creating training places.

There is no let-up in the pressure of the NHS.

Nurses on the front line experience that every day.

Today, it has emerged that the nursing

workforce in England has only grown slightly over six years,

even as patient numbers have multiplied.

we do not have enough nurses to provide vital nursing health care

We are losing many nurses who are retiring

or giving up nursing,

The figures show that, between 2009 and 2015,

nurse numbers were just up over 1.1%.

In the same time, GP referrals were up 16%.

Emergency admissions through accident and

It is not just the rising population that is a

factor here, it is also the increasing complexity

of people's health needs, which is putting

pressure on the health service and its staff right

We have had a much smaller expansion in the workforce

With the ageing population, rising number of

people with chronic disease, that is creating a growth in demand

that is not met by a workforce numbers.

There are soaring bills paid to agencies.

The Department of Health says it is cracking down on staffing

and creating many thousands more nursing training places.

The family of a Brazilian man shot dead in London after he was mistaken

for a suicide bomber had been told his death was properly investigated

by British authorities in a ruling of the European Court of Human

Rights. Jean Charles de Menezes was killed by police at an underground

Charles de Menezes was mistaken for a suspect in a failed bombing the

Nato forces in Eastern Europe will be boosted by rotating US

significant US reinforcement of Nato since the tensions with Moscow

increased over the Ukraine crisis. Our diplomatic correspondent

Jonathan Marcus explains what the US The crisis in Ukraine sent shock

waves through Nato particularly those countries with a clear memory

of Soviet power, Poland, Baltic republics and so on and since that

crisis, the Americans and allies have sent small numbers of

additional equipment to Europe. They have mounted routine and almost

permanent exercises, some large but mostly small-scale, in Poland, the

Baltic republics and elsewhere in Eastern Europe. There has been a

need felt by the Americans to bolster their resident combat power.

There are currently two US Army brigades in Europe, and airborne

Brigade, relatively light, another strike Brigade. Heavier than the

airborne but quite light. What they now proposes to put in an armoured

brigade, about 4500 personnel. That brigade will remain in Europe for

nine months, coming over with modern equipment. When finished it will

return to the US and be replaced by a brigade with its equipment. More

sets of American troops will get experience of operating in Europe

but the equipment will be significantly modern eyes.

Chinese rights lawyer Ni Yulan has spent years advising victims

She's just been awarded the US State Department's International Women

But she was not allowed to attend the ceremony in Washington

earlier this week to collect it in person.

She has told the BBC she was illegally prevented from travelling.

Our Beijing correspondent John Sudworth went to meet her.

Ni Yulan has paid a heavy price for her human rights activism.

Imprisoned twice, sentenced to hard labour and beaten to the point of

paralysis, according to the award citation from the US government.

TRANSLATION: It was an honour, a sign of recognition and support for

my work. For me and my family it means acknowledgement and

assistance. You did not travel to Washington for the award ceremony,

why not? When I went to get a passport I was told I was forbidden

to travel abroad. They raised my involvement in a criminal case in

which I supported the defendants and researched articles on their behalf.

You have defended some of China's most marginalised people, religious

minorities, people fighting forced evictions by the authorities, tell

me about your courage, what kind of courage has it taken to fight that

fight? TRANSLATION: It has been the pursuit of truth and will to help

others defend their rights. Many people have faced forced evictions

and there was no choice to do what I did when their homes were taken.

There is debate about the situation under the current government. What

is your view, do you believe human rights protections are getting

better or worse? TRANSLATION: I think the human rights situation is

worse and worse in China. We live in a hostile environment. It is hard to

survive and we face the threat of prison at any time.

This may look like a spider, but it isn't.

It's actually a reconstruction of a fossilised animal from more

than 300 million years ago, and it's the closest relative

It was dug up near Montceau les-Mines, in eastern France.

Jonathan Webb is our science correspondent.

He explained why this could not be considered a spider. The spider is

interestingly positioned, living around the same time as the earliest

true spiders we know of, 80 million years later than other relatives we

have seen fossils off and they had tales and other things not like a

spider but this guy had lost his tail and acquired spiderlike jaws,

coloured bright blue in that picture. Quite beautiful. He did not

have the organs that spiders use to control their silk and that probably

allow them to spin webs. We think he produced silk because older

ancestors have the machinery to produce it but it looks like he

could not control it. He was not fully evolved. Tell us about where

he was found. Founded in eastern France but many decades ago, he has

languished in a museum. It looked nondescript, like a lot of fossils

from this period. We could not tell how unique it was until scientists

did a scan. We had a box of fossils, and this guy, half buried in rock,

when they saw the scam, they saw these spiderlike parts and thought

they had something interesting and it is a new species, the closest

relative to ancient spiders we have seen and it has been named after a

biologist from Oxford. Why do people care so much about this? It is about

knowing how spiders arrived at where they are today. We knew there were

ancestors that did not look a lot like spiders. This one was around at

the same time as modern spiders but still had key differences. We are

managing to unravel the process and work out what changes arrived when.

And so it seems the web spinning organs were the last thing to

arrive. Fifty years ago, visitors

to Longleat House in the west of England were invited

to drive their own cars among Since then millions have come face

to face with the wildlife. Yes, this is the biggest thing

that has ever been done. It has never been done in Europe,

or the world. This all started when the aristocrat

met the man from the big top. Lord Bath had Longleat

and Jimmy Chipperfield What followed was the creation

of the world's first safari park. 50 years on and the lions are still

one of the main attractions. When they first come running up

to the back of the vehicle and you see them, they lick

their lips and they fix You wonder whether it is that meat

or this meat they're Another of the park's most

distinguished residents is Miko, It was something that they brought

over for him when he had to do a quarantine period back in the 80s

when he first arrived. And he had to stay in

the house for six months. And we heard some people had used

it with chimpanzees, that television pacified

them, kept them calm. So we tried it, and it worked

really, really well. And his favourite programme,

apart from Carole's weather Two of Longleat's longest serving

staff, Darren and Ian, share 70 years of experience

and remember simpler times. We're still working

on fencing even now. It is like the Forth

Bridge, it never stops. And you can see in the distance

all the cars coming in. And Lord Bath there

collecting money. That is how it was

in the first place. And literally the lions

were in an old railway shed. And now we've got a proper indoor

house. And it is amazing, as well,

with technology we have to use things now that in the 60s,

we had meters to read the amount You know, we have laser thermometers

that can tell you how warm How these guys did it

back then, just no idea. But again, that is how

it has progressed. The original vision for Longleat

was to bring Africa to England. And for the past 50 years,

this corner of Wiltshire But keep in the car

or you might be the feast! Quite something. Thanks for spending

time with us and I will be back tomorrow. Goodbye.
