Hello, this is Outside Source, we start with revelations from the

:00:12.:00:18.

Panama papers, this time we focus on the billions of dollars being moved

:00:19.:00:21.

out of China and how that is affecting property prices worldwide.

:00:22.:00:25.

The World Health Organisation has warned that the world faces an

:00:26.:00:30.

unrelenting march of diabetes. Most of it caused by our unhealthy

:00:31.:00:34.

lifestyles. It was a good night for Ted Cruz and for Bernie Sanders,

:00:35.:00:38.

both claiming big victories in primary contests in Wisconsin. We

:00:39.:00:41.

will discuss what this means for Donald Trump's chances for the White

:00:42.:00:48.

House. What's up as encrypting every message sent to the app is that we

:00:49.:00:50.

get you more on what that means. The millions of dollars leaving

:00:51.:01:11.

China to buy properties around the world have been revealed, leaked

:01:12.:01:15.

files from the secretive Panamanian law firm show a strong link between

:01:16.:01:21.

the ruling elite and the global property market. Almost all of the

:01:22.:01:29.

law firm businesses come from China making it the biggest market. The

:01:30.:01:33.

files show staggering amounts of cash in a move which is in the

:01:34.:01:37.

mining the economy and funding overseas markets.

:01:38.:01:48.

They're desperate to keep their money safe.

:01:49.:01:49.

Many are anxious to smuggle their wealth out of China, away

:01:50.:01:52.

I met a man who works as a money mule, carrying cash

:01:53.:01:56.

TRANSLATION: I strap the money to my body or carry a small bag.

:01:57.:02:06.

They target those with lots of luggage or who are nervous.

:02:07.:02:15.

Even the Chinese elite are keeping their money offshore.

:02:16.:02:18.

We showed you leaked files from Mossack Fonseca that revealed

:02:19.:02:21.

how the relatives of China's leaders use off shore companies.

:02:22.:02:28.

Now we have learned China is the firm's biggest market.

:02:29.:02:31.

Mossack Fonseca manages more than 16,000 offshore companies

:02:32.:02:33.

It is not just people tied to the leadership, people are moving

:02:34.:02:43.

out of China on a scale never seen before and much of that money passes

:02:44.:02:47.

Then the money has to go somewhere and is often parked in real estate.

:02:48.:02:59.

This woman works for a company that lists companies abroad.

:03:00.:03:15.

In the UK, typically London is popular, just in the last quarter

:03:16.:03:18.

we have seen Brighton has seen a 700% increase in popularity.

:03:19.:03:30.

Every Chinese citizen can transfer ?35,000 a year out side the country.

:03:31.:03:32.

But for those who want to hide their wealth,

:03:33.:03:38.

The outflow of capital is something the Chinese government is unhappy

:03:39.:03:51.

But the facts that they are giving it a fair bit of priority and yet

:03:52.:03:58.

the scale of problem remains so large means they're not entirely

:03:59.:04:01.

Across Hong Kong it is common to see visitors from mainland China

:04:02.:04:16.

Think of it as a similar symbol for what

:04:17.:04:20.

for what is happening around the globe.

:04:21.:04:22.

Chinese leaders are spending their money elsewhere.

:04:23.:04:24.

They're protecting themselves, but making China more vulnerable.

:04:25.:04:41.

I spoke earlier about how much attention this is getting inside

:04:42.:04:48.

China. Pretty much silence. There are two ironies from the story, one

:04:49.:04:55.

is Panama and the most searched terms but have the least number of

:04:56.:05:02.

returns, people are looking but not finding. The Chinese leaders are not

:05:03.:05:12.

mentioned and if you take the president, the paper also connects

:05:13.:05:17.

his family members to offshore bank accounts. If you take that because

:05:18.:05:24.

the president when he came to power, he Lord and anti-corruption com

:05:25.:05:29.

pain, he is fighting against corruption but if you see that it is

:05:30.:05:34.

extraordinary. This is the kind of divide between rich and poor which

:05:35.:05:39.

is condemning capitalist society. This is exactly what is happening in

:05:40.:05:44.

China now. For most of the ordinary Chinese people are they surprised?

:05:45.:05:49.

Probably not because they know that wealthy people and the politically

:05:50.:05:51.

well-connected people have the resources and the means and ways to

:05:52.:05:57.

send the money offshore and for ordinary Chinese citizens, they are

:05:58.:06:01.

hard because there is a limit every year, they can only send about

:06:02.:06:06.

50,000 US dollars, that is not applying to everyone. The World

:06:07.:06:11.

Health Organisation has warned we are facing an unrelenting march of

:06:12.:06:16.

diabetes. This is a disease which now affects nearly one in 11 adult

:06:17.:06:23.

and that is an increase of around 400% since 1980, what is more is it

:06:24.:06:26.

is a global issue and there are variations. This is the Middle East

:06:27.:06:30.

seeing the largest increase in cases. Type two diabetes, the most

:06:31.:06:43.

common form is closely linked to lifestyle and what we have seen in

:06:44.:06:47.

the Middle East is this transition which is more sedentary and eating

:06:48.:06:50.

more unhealthy food so as obesity has increased, so to have rates of

:06:51.:06:57.

type two diabetes. So that his health and lack of activity? What

:06:58.:07:01.

can governments do about it and what measures are taken? I spoke to the

:07:02.:07:10.

World Health Organisation and said all we have to do is persuade

:07:11.:07:14.

everyone to eat more healthy and eat more exercise. It sounds so simple

:07:15.:07:17.

and yet it is one of the biggest problem is a public health. In the

:07:18.:07:24.

UK we have spoken about a sugar tax. And Mexico have really introduced

:07:25.:07:28.

it. Trying to get food to be healthier in the first place,

:07:29.:07:32.

persuading manufacturers to stop marketing food at children is one

:07:33.:07:35.

thing they are calling for as his reformulation of products, making

:07:36.:07:39.

sure food has less fat and sugar in the first place. Also a whole host

:07:40.:07:45.

of ideas, encouraging people to be more active, designing towns and

:07:46.:07:47.

cities other cycling and walking can be a part rather than relying on the

:07:48.:07:53.

car. It requires an approach that as a whole of society, it is

:07:54.:07:58.

governments as well as in food malefactors, everybody has a role to

:07:59.:08:05.

play. So many migrants are now arriving at the southern borders of

:08:06.:08:09.

the European Union, especially Greece and Italy, that the EU is

:08:10.:08:14.

suggesting more plans to distribute them among member states. Here's how

:08:15.:08:17.

the challenge was outlined in Brussels today. The problem we need

:08:18.:08:22.

to fix is at the system largely relies on where a person first

:08:23.:08:27.

arrives to decide which member states should handle an asylum

:08:28.:08:30.

claim. This is neither fair nor sustainable given the reality of

:08:31.:08:35.

folly into people which are putting a huge burden on a few member

:08:36.:08:40.

states. Let's show you some of the facts about the pressure building up

:08:41.:08:44.

just on the country of Greece. This year alone more than 152 thousand

:08:45.:08:53.

migrants have entered. 53% landed on the Ireland of Lesbos and it is

:08:54.:09:01.

thought that 366, and awful figure, have died. This is something of the

:09:02.:09:08.

EU wants to deal with and we want to show you what it means when the

:09:09.:09:13.

viewpoint of one man. Now this man is an Egyptian man, Mustapha, he is

:09:14.:09:17.

working as a grave-digger in a cemetery on Lesbos. One girl, three

:09:18.:09:26.

months she died in the sea, we found her body, no head. This grave has

:09:27.:09:38.

two girls, every girl three months and one of them no head.

:09:39.:09:57.

These people come and think for a normal life with democracy but it is

:09:58.:10:13.

not really, it is only a dream not a reality. This is the reality. Yes.

:10:14.:10:34.

For you personally it must be so hard? It is very difficult. The what

:10:35.:10:48.

can I do? Icon to anything. I can't stop the war, I can't tell people to

:10:49.:10:53.

come to Europe, only I can help. The former Bosnian Serb leader has

:10:54.:11:11.

described the guilty verdict handed down to a Ward tribunal as

:11:12.:11:15.

monstrous. During his first court appearance being sentenced, carriage

:11:16.:11:23.

claimed his innocence. There are some distressing images in this

:11:24.:11:33.

report. -- Radovan Karadzic. This hearing was requested by Radovan

:11:34.:11:36.

Karadzic to address his mental health and the conditions of his

:11:37.:11:41.

detention. This is where he's being held, the United Nations detention

:11:42.:11:49.

had unit. Radovan Karadzic's lawyer, Peter Robinson told the judge that

:11:50.:11:53.

he had been like a caged tiger since he received that guilty verdict and

:11:54.:11:59.

was sentenced to 30 years which means he will spend the rest of it

:12:00.:12:04.

behind bars. Among the charges he was found guilty of international

:12:05.:12:11.

crimes, genocide and more than 8000 Muslim men, women and boys were

:12:12.:12:15.

murdered, their bodies buried in mass graves. Whatsapp address the

:12:16.:12:22.

judge and asked them to free him and provide him with a new laptop to

:12:23.:12:29.

prepare his appeal. He had already been packing his bags and head of

:12:30.:12:33.

last months guilty verdict because he was so confident that he would be

:12:34.:12:40.

cleared. The judge said he would look into the request for a new

:12:41.:12:48.

laptop and he has to Whatsapp to put his release in writing. -- Radovan

:12:49.:12:55.

Karadzic. In a moment we bring you more on the new encryption

:12:56.:12:57.

technology with Whatsapp. For some days now the hopes of Tata

:12:58.:13:16.

steel has rested on the sale. In a BBC interview Mr Gupta admitted his

:13:17.:13:21.

proposal was written on the back of an envelope. It had been done on the

:13:22.:13:27.

back of an envelope because we had not had access and this thing

:13:28.:13:33.

started a week ago. What you done so far is back of the envelope

:13:34.:13:38.

calculation? Yes and based on the fact we have friends in the industry

:13:39.:13:44.

and colleagues and some other people who joined us recently so we have

:13:45.:13:49.

the information at hand. Have you been on the ground in Port Talbot?

:13:50.:13:54.

No, I have been passed it many times. This came as a complete

:13:55.:13:58.

surprise to me and when it happened it was a complete surprise, it is a

:13:59.:14:02.

daunting proposition and I'm not suggesting it is easy or obvious.

:14:03.:14:09.

You're watching Outside Source, our lead story is the latest revelations

:14:10.:14:18.

from the Panama paper so that the rich in China have moved millions of

:14:19.:14:23.

dollars into offshore accounts, much of that being pumped into the global

:14:24.:14:29.

property market. Making news on our language services, let's look at BBC

:14:30.:14:36.

Arabic reporting on Libya. Tripoli's authorities have ceded power to UN

:14:37.:14:40.

backed authorities. The new leadership faces opposition in other

:14:41.:14:44.

parts of the country. The Italian fashion house Gucci has been banned

:14:45.:14:49.

from using an advert in the UK which features an unhealthily thin model.

:14:50.:14:52.

Did she has defended the image saying the model is toned and slim.

:14:53.:14:57.

That is one of the most read stories on the BBC news app. The messaging

:14:58.:15:05.

service Whatsapp has strengthened its level of encryption. This means

:15:06.:15:08.

all messages sent will not be readable because if they are

:15:09.:15:14.

intercepted. That show you some statistics. There are more than 1

:15:15.:15:19.

billion users and if you look at their activity, some 70% of them are

:15:20.:15:27.

active every day and between them, they are sending a huge number of

:15:28.:15:30.

messengers. 30 billion messages are sent each day. Our technology

:15:31.:15:35.

correspondent told us what this level of encryption will mean for

:15:36.:15:39.

all of these people. When your messages passing across the Internet

:15:40.:15:43.

and go to your mobile phone providers computers and Whatsapp

:15:44.:15:49.

servers, all the way along a chain your messages are scrambled and if

:15:50.:15:54.

anyone taps into them, no use. Why have they done this? Whatsapp has

:15:55.:16:01.

been working on this for a while, because it is on so many platforms

:16:02.:16:05.

it has taken a long time to marry everything together although it does

:16:06.:16:10.

come at the same time as is big conflict between FBI and Apple where

:16:11.:16:14.

they are saying should the law enforcement have access to encrypt

:16:15.:16:17.

data or not? It has come at timely moment. This means they could not be

:16:18.:16:24.

a back door, not even Whatsapp could let in MI6 or the FBI? A cynic may

:16:25.:16:29.

say perhaps there is a back door and there was one than the general

:16:30.:16:32.

public would never know but the technology companies have been very

:16:33.:16:36.

vocal not providing that. The moment you put a back door in then

:16:37.:16:41.

criminals can get hold of that and use it as well so the second you

:16:42.:16:45.

break the encryption process and make it insecure, it is insecure for

:16:46.:16:50.

everyone. Time now for Outside Source business. Pfizer has scrapped

:16:51.:17:00.

a new deal, the move would prevent US firms from slashing tax bills

:17:01.:17:04.

with merging with companies in lower tax states so let's look at this

:17:05.:17:12.

case. Pfizer as a US company pays 35% in corporate tax but let's move

:17:13.:17:20.

over. If it's merged with a company in Ireland it would pay 12.5% which

:17:21.:17:25.

is good for shareholders, not so much for the government 's own

:17:26.:17:33.

books. American companies have a problem. They are facing a

:17:34.:17:37.

relatively high tax company and have to pay tax on their foreign income

:17:38.:17:41.

as well. They can move to Ireland in this case, set up a new residence

:17:42.:17:46.

there, pay 12.5% tax, a much lower rate and everyone is happy. They can

:17:47.:17:51.

still be based in the United States, employ a lot of people but a smaller

:17:52.:17:55.

proportion of people the tax at that higher rate and they're not doing

:17:56.:17:59.

anything illegal. Don't forget these companies have a duty to minimise

:18:00.:18:02.

their tax bills. That is what they are there for. The White House said

:18:03.:18:07.

this is cash we could put back into the Treasury and public services?

:18:08.:18:12.

Absolutely the White House has described it as an insidiously poll.

:18:13.:18:16.

Basically they see it has rather unpatriotic that an American company

:18:17.:18:20.

should effectively decide to pronounce its American citizenship

:18:21.:18:23.

and be based elsewhere. A large company pays a lot of taxpayer the

:18:24.:18:27.

tax is being paid in Ireland rather than the United States than the

:18:28.:18:30.

United States Treasury would be losing out. Pfizer is a big fish but

:18:31.:18:34.

not the only one in the sea playing at this game? No tax inversions have

:18:35.:18:38.

becoming creasing the common in many years an an awful lot of companies

:18:39.:18:46.

have done it. This was a major merger, $160 billion, that is one of

:18:47.:18:50.

the largest we have ever seen or it would have been. The primary reason

:18:51.:18:55.

behind it wasn't to cut the tax bill, it was not the case of two

:18:56.:18:59.

companies deciding there was a lot of business logic, there was some

:19:00.:19:04.

amount but the primary motivation was to cut a tax bill and that is

:19:05.:19:10.

something the US authorities to round up on. They want to deter

:19:11.:19:13.

others from doing the same Salim Chidgey use new rules and

:19:14.:19:18.

regulations which many experts say were designed to target this

:19:19.:19:23.

particular deal. San Francisco has become the first deal for full paper

:19:24.:19:28.

rental leave. Why is there such a big deal? It is the only developed

:19:29.:19:33.

country which does not guarantee paid maternity or parental leave to

:19:34.:19:40.

workers. The ordinance passes unanimously on the first reading as

:19:41.:19:45.

amended. San Francisco's helping the parents breathe easier. Starting

:19:46.:19:48.

next year the city will make employers offer six weeks paid

:19:49.:19:53.

maternity leave to workers. That is an existing law which only offers

:19:54.:19:57.

partial pay for the same time frame. We need to stop forcing parents to

:19:58.:20:01.

make the terrible decision about weather to bond with the child or

:20:02.:20:07.

weather to put food on the table. Supporters on the bill say it is the

:20:08.:20:12.

latest step to addressing income equality. It is a stretch to raise a

:20:13.:20:16.

new boy a toddler, especially in San Francisco, it is really hard. We

:20:17.:20:22.

need that extra help. It is no surprise San Francisco's taking the

:20:23.:20:29.

lead on this. The city has a ready led national wages on health care

:20:30.:20:34.

and others. My only objection is that if we do not deal with it in a

:20:35.:20:39.

way that put San Francisco businesses at a disadvantage

:20:40.:20:41.

competitively and also it adds to the burden of doing business in the

:20:42.:20:47.

county of San Francisco. The US is the only developed country with no

:20:48.:20:51.

guaranteed parental leave or maternity cover for workers. In the

:20:52.:20:55.

UK parents get 39 weeks well in Sweden mothers get a whopping 68

:20:56.:21:00.

weeks and nearly full salary. While this is a big leap in the US, by

:21:01.:21:04.

international standards, it is baby steps.

:21:05.:21:09.

If you live in Nigeria, it may be hard to believe the country is the

:21:10.:21:15.

sixth largest producer of crude oil. That is because people are having to

:21:16.:21:19.

queue for hours, even days to buy petrol. The BBC hit the streets of

:21:20.:21:23.

Lagos to find how some people have been affected.

:21:24.:21:34.

How do I feed my family if I spent all these hours here everyday? I

:21:35.:21:47.

have to borrow this tag because my car is on the way.

:21:48.:21:56.

As you can see there are a lot of vehicles waiting. I have been

:21:57.:22:04.

interviewing since 7am. And now I am nowhere. I'm nowhere.

:22:05.:22:13.

Yesterday I was in a queue for three hours and I didn't buy so it has

:22:14.:22:16.

been terrible. How could I know? I don't know

:22:17.:22:39.

anything about this. We don't know. We don't know who to blame, we have

:22:40.:22:45.

is watching. They then tell us what is really happening. -- don't. So

:22:46.:22:55.

Nigerians don't know why this is happening. Neither does it seems the

:22:56.:23:00.

spokesman for the National petroleum Corporation when the BBC spoke to

:23:01.:23:06.

him a little earlier. We ran into a shortage when the government came in

:23:07.:23:10.

and now a lot of problems have been inherited. This has been from a

:23:11.:23:17.

distorted system of distribution and logistics problem so there has been

:23:18.:23:22.

a shortage but in the last few days things have improved. Safarova is

:23:23.:23:29.

known for its famous suits and impeccable cuts. Today history was

:23:30.:23:34.

made when for the first time in 200 years a shop was opened by a female

:23:35.:23:40.

must tailor. Catherine sergeants who is dressed royalty, politicians,

:23:41.:23:43.

actors and business leaders has opened her premises in Mayfair and

:23:44.:23:46.

was speaking to us earlier. Savile Row for a years it has meant

:23:47.:24:05.

quality and it has been very male but not any more.

:24:06.:24:12.

The name is up there. Good feeling? A very good feeling. I'm a first

:24:13.:24:21.

female Master Cressman to have this on here. I think that is quite

:24:22.:24:32.

something. Here is your jacket sir. Catherine Sargent Lantos kills on

:24:33.:24:39.

several Row. Born in Leeds the first day she visited the home of

:24:40.:24:43.

tailoring it saved her life. All of the Taylors look like clubs, they

:24:44.:24:46.

had beautiful uniforms and garments in the window so I was determined

:24:47.:24:52.

that, I thought this is where once you work. Introducing the best

:24:53.:24:57.

dressed street in the world. Savile Row was founded by the most famous

:24:58.:25:03.

tale of them all, Sir Henry Paul. Now Henry Paul has a new female

:25:04.:25:09.

maker. She came here for a job in the 90s. She was the one female

:25:10.:25:17.

amongst the number of men and... I did try but that is the way it goes.

:25:18.:25:21.

Things have really changed? Many more women are? Yes absolutely.

:25:22.:25:27.

Perseverance paid off and while she is the first on the road, others

:25:28.:25:32.

will follow. 65% of new trainees are women. What used to be a men only

:25:33.:25:43.

world is changing fast. Do stay with us, you cancel to us and the

:25:44.:25:49.

conversation is at BBC OS. I will be back in a few moments after the

:25:50.:25:50.

weather. It is that time of the evening when

:25:51.:26:10.

we look at weather stories from around the world and we start off in

:26:11.:26:14.

Fiji because a few weeks ago these were some scenes that
