:00:08. > :00:15.Hello, I'm Ros Atkins, this is Outside Source.
:00:16. > :00:21.An hour of international news live from right here in the BBC newsroom.
:00:22. > :00:23.In Ecuador the death toll continues to rise.
:00:24. > :00:27.It's reached 350 today - the search is going on for survivors.
:00:28. > :00:30.Police in Jerusalem confirm that a device caused the explosion
:00:31. > :00:39.There are three governments based in Tripoli these days -
:00:40. > :00:43.the UN and the West is backing the latest one to be established.
:00:44. > :00:45.We've the BBC's Middle East editor is in Libya to assess
:00:46. > :01:01.The government are claiming that a vote to leave the EU would cost
:01:02. > :01:03.every household thousands of pounds. the Amber Heard-Johnny Depp apology
:01:04. > :01:24.video, we'll put that right. As I was mentioning, the death toll
:01:25. > :01:28.in Ecuador from the weekend is 350. Rescue teams have been
:01:29. > :01:30.flying into the affected region from Switzerland,
:01:31. > :01:32.Spain and Latin America. The earthquake has devastated towns
:01:33. > :01:50.along Ecuador's Pacific coast, We can pull up some of the picture
:01:51. > :01:56.is coming and over the last few days. This was taken inside a shop
:01:57. > :02:01.with things falling off the shelves and people getting it as fast as
:02:02. > :02:05.they can. Quite hard to see these pictures because it is in the night
:02:06. > :02:10.that followed but hundreds of emergency workers involved in trying
:02:11. > :02:14.to get to the end you're done those who are stuck, and once the sun came
:02:15. > :02:20.up the next day the extent of the devastation in a number of places
:02:21. > :02:26.became clear. Also many tragedies in this story. There have been some
:02:27. > :02:34.more positive stories as well. This is one child being rescued from a
:02:35. > :02:41.collapsed building. Ecuador's ambassador to the UK spoke to the
:02:42. > :02:49.BBC a few hours ago. I am still trying to contact some of my family
:02:50. > :02:57.who are in the area of the earthquake, and until now I cannot.
:02:58. > :03:01.We have lost around 80% of communication and we have lost also
:03:02. > :03:08.80% of energy, so this is the problem we are facing right now.
:03:09. > :03:17.That is the latest from Ecuador. Also at the weekend, they are worth
:03:18. > :03:21.two earthquakes on the Japanese island in the south-west of the
:03:22. > :03:27.country. 40 people have lost their lives that they are, and buildings,
:03:28. > :03:30.roads and bridges have been damaged, and nearly one quarter of a million
:03:31. > :03:36.people have been told to stay away from their homes because of fears of
:03:37. > :03:40.another quake. These are two countries braving the terrible cost
:03:41. > :03:43.and today in Austria a group of scientists have been meeting to put
:03:44. > :03:50.a cost on this kind of national disasters. A huge estimate for the
:03:51. > :03:56.cost of all national disasters since 1900, 7 trillion US dollars. We may
:03:57. > :04:08.need more context to understand exactly what that is telling us.
:04:09. > :04:14.Researchers have trawled through records going back to 1900, we have
:04:15. > :04:21.digital media now and if you want to see anything older than that you
:04:22. > :04:25.have to go through microfiches and they have analysed that data and
:04:26. > :04:31.come up with this figure that covers the cost of things like earthquakes
:04:32. > :04:36.and floods. Storms, that kind of thing. Looking at direct economic
:04:37. > :04:43.losses of those kinds of events, and they have come up with the figure
:04:44. > :04:50.for that period, 1900-2015, of 7 trillion US dollars. They have also
:04:51. > :04:56.looked at the number of deaths and they say it is over 8 million. What
:04:57. > :05:02.is the motivation in trying to come up with these figures? As we are
:05:03. > :05:08.looking at what is going on in Ecuador and Japan, we can use this
:05:09. > :05:13.type of analysis to do very quick estimates of what is likely to have
:05:14. > :05:18.two be the response in those areas that are affected by natural
:05:19. > :05:25.disasters. Very quickly, the seismologists put out reports was
:05:26. > :05:30.then half an hour of any big earthquake telling you the likely
:05:31. > :05:34.number of injuries and deaths. I get those alerts that come from the big
:05:35. > :05:39.seismological survey groups around the world and it was very apparent
:05:40. > :05:45.as Spooner as that in Ecuador that the death toll was likely to be in
:05:46. > :05:50.the hundreds. You can use that type of analysis to assess the likely
:05:51. > :05:55.economic damage of those events very rapidly, so in the case of Ecuador,
:05:56. > :06:01.this type of analysis is suggesting they will be an impact of about $820
:06:02. > :06:06.million, although that could rise to as much as $2 billion. To give you a
:06:07. > :06:10.sense of the different status of Ecuador versus the highly
:06:11. > :06:16.industrialised and advanced Japan, the impact from the events that we
:06:17. > :06:21.saw there, those two earthquakes side-by-side, that could be about 12
:06:22. > :06:27.billion US dollars in economic impact, and it could rise to as much
:06:28. > :06:30.as 22 billion, so it gets the governments in those countries a
:06:31. > :06:31.sense of how they will respond to those events to get people back on
:06:32. > :06:33.their feet. In Brazil, President Rousseff's
:06:34. > :06:36.problems worsened at the weekend. The lower house of parliament voted
:06:37. > :06:38.to start impeachment Reuters uses the word crushing to
:06:39. > :06:55.describe that particular vote. Next the upper house
:06:56. > :06:57.will consider the idea - As you can see there
:06:58. > :07:03.was much excitement. As there was on the streets
:07:04. > :07:05.where big screens Certainly what that crowded went
:07:06. > :07:14.down very well. The President is accused
:07:15. > :07:24.of manipulating government accounts. This is also interesting from the
:07:25. > :07:25.Financial Times who see this particular vote may be the start of
:07:26. > :07:26.the transition. State the obvious,
:07:27. > :07:28.if the President is suspended, then someone else will need
:07:29. > :07:30.to step in. So those are some of the people who
:07:31. > :08:48.could take over from the president. Inevitably this story
:08:49. > :08:50.is raising lots of questions Stadiums are still
:08:51. > :08:54.under construction. The velodrome is said to be
:08:55. > :08:59.seriously behind schedule. And construction at the Deodoro
:09:00. > :09:01.Olympic Complex has been postponed I should also say that
:09:02. > :09:25.many of the main sites We have marked several of them.
:09:26. > :09:32.Let's go live to Sao Paulo to talk about all of this. Starting with the
:09:33. > :09:36.crisis rather than the Olympics, help me understand why so many of
:09:37. > :09:46.the President's most loyal supporters have turned on her, that
:09:47. > :09:55.has been surprising to see? The keyword coming from the President's
:09:56. > :09:59.camp is betrayal. Many of them met with the former president just a few
:10:00. > :10:03.hours before the vote and they were promising to vote from the
:10:04. > :10:08.government and then turned against them. It is a situation where all
:10:09. > :10:14.the smaller parties that are part of the ruling coalition, they have
:10:15. > :10:18.autonomy to decide what they want to do and for a long time they were
:10:19. > :10:23.with the government because they held ministerial positions and had
:10:24. > :10:28.good jobs and access to big budgets, and it is how the Brazilian
:10:29. > :10:30.political system works. Now they have a vice president who could
:10:31. > :10:35.become the next president and he could offer the very same things, so
:10:36. > :10:40.people basically jumping from one ship to another, and it has been
:10:41. > :10:45.interesting to see the International coverage for the story which keeps
:10:46. > :10:47.referencing the Olympics. I look at the coverage inside Brazil and it
:10:48. > :10:55.doesn't seem to be mentioned as often. Is it being linked, these two
:10:56. > :11:00.stories together? The Olympic Games were awarded to Brazil a long time
:11:01. > :11:06.ago and it seems like a completely different country back then. Brazil
:11:07. > :11:11.was a very strong economy back then, an emerging star in the developing
:11:12. > :11:16.world, and it fell into a very different narrative than right now.
:11:17. > :11:20.This is a country in crisis but a lot of the infrastructure has been
:11:21. > :11:27.built already and the a lot of the planning has already been executed,
:11:28. > :11:32.so the Olympic Games are not too much centre stage right now. The
:11:33. > :11:36.central question in Brazil is how can the country recover from its
:11:37. > :11:41.worst political and economic crisis in over two decades. And it is
:11:42. > :11:50.proving a complicated story to cover, tell us the chronology. What
:11:51. > :11:54.happens from the? In a few hours, President Dilma Rousseff will give a
:11:55. > :11:57.statement to the press, she will even speak to some journalists and
:11:58. > :12:02.take some questions, the first time we will hear from our about what
:12:03. > :12:06.happened last night, but we may have a period of about three weeks before
:12:07. > :12:11.this is voted on by the Senate and that promises to be very slow in
:12:12. > :12:17.terms of management Brazilian problems, because Congress is not
:12:18. > :12:21.going to do anything. After that, if the Senate approves the motion,
:12:22. > :12:27.Dilma Rousseff asked to immediately stepped down for six months and work
:12:28. > :12:33.on her defence. Appreciate the updates, live from Sao Paulo. Next
:12:34. > :12:35.we come to a really important health story in China. Just about the most
:12:36. > :12:37.followed in the country today. Lots of questions being asked
:12:38. > :12:39.about why a school was built on a site previously used
:12:40. > :12:44.by three chemical plants. Hundreds of its pupils have become
:12:45. > :12:46.sick - some with coughs, others with far more serious
:12:47. > :12:48.illnesses like lymphoma This is Jiangsu Province -
:12:49. > :13:01.the school opened in September That was reported this
:13:02. > :13:04.Sunday by CCTV News, the state broadcaster,
:13:05. > :13:07.saying that five out of every six children that
:13:08. > :13:10.were tested had severe illness. But that kind of report
:13:11. > :13:12.is counter-reported by the city government,
:13:13. > :13:17.saying, we have done our assessment this March, and the result is saying
:13:18. > :13:20.there aren't many cases where students got illness,
:13:21. > :13:24.so I think there are Obviously the education
:13:25. > :13:29.minister says we take the matter very seriously,
:13:30. > :13:33.we sent a team to investigate, then we need to wait
:13:34. > :13:36.and find the result, but obviously this is an issue
:13:37. > :13:40.that is so sensitive with the Chinese people,
:13:41. > :13:44.it has really touched on raw nerves. And that is why the contaminated
:13:45. > :13:47.school is the biggest story 37 million people are reading
:13:48. > :13:54.the story and 100,000 people are talking about that,
:13:55. > :13:57.because people are putting it in the context of saying,
:13:58. > :14:00.OK, President Xi Jinping, you launched your anti-corruption
:14:01. > :14:04.campaign, and that is all very well, but how how does this scandal
:14:05. > :14:21.and scare fit into your agenda? More on that story from BBC Chinese
:14:22. > :14:27.online. If you have spent any time on social media today it was very
:14:28. > :14:35.difficult to avoid this. Those are a little bit of a video released by
:14:36. > :14:43.Johnny Depp and Amber Heard, saying sorry for bringing their dogs into
:14:44. > :14:50.Australia and an incorrect way. Here in the
:14:51. > :15:02.Here in the UK - the Court of Appeal have said that an injunction
:15:03. > :15:04.which barred the media from reporting the details
:15:05. > :15:06.of a celebrity's private life should be lifted,
:15:07. > :15:08.but we still can't report the details of the celebrity
:15:09. > :15:10.involved, as our media correspondent David Sillito explains.
:15:11. > :15:15.This will almost certainly go to the Supreme Court sought will remain
:15:16. > :15:19.secret until then, why does this matter? Imported was described as a
:15:20. > :15:23.battle between the new rule of law and the role of the press. What has
:15:24. > :15:27.changed is the information has got out in places where the injunction
:15:28. > :15:32.has got no force, Scotland, America, the intranet. This means the legal
:15:33. > :15:33.landscape has changed and many have said that it is finally lifted
:15:34. > :15:42.because of this, injunction, a major shift in the law
:15:43. > :15:51.of privacy. Welcome to the BBC newsroom. Our
:15:52. > :15:59.lead story. Rescuers are still pulling people
:16:00. > :16:02.from the rubble in Ecuador. BBC Arabic is reporting
:16:03. > :16:05.on the Syria Peace talks. Opposition representatives
:16:06. > :16:09.are threatening to walk out. Rebel groups have attacked
:16:10. > :16:11.government forces in the north-western saying the army
:16:12. > :16:16.is violating the truce. It's been revealed that last year,
:16:17. > :16:18.the Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov had a salary four times more
:16:19. > :16:25.than Vladimir Putin's. Mr Peskov says he inherited a large
:16:26. > :16:38.amount of money from his father. One of these top stories on the BBC
:16:39. > :16:44.News website. There will be a very important dinner party hosted by
:16:45. > :16:49.William and Kate, hosting President Obama and Michelle Obama.
:16:50. > :16:51.At the end of March, a new Libyan government
:16:52. > :16:55.Now the UN and the West is trying to shore it up.
:16:56. > :17:00.The British foreign secretary is there.
:17:01. > :17:05.Philip Hammond says he's in Tripoli to welcome important progress.
:17:06. > :17:14.French, Italian and German officials are doing the same thing.
:17:15. > :17:20.The situation in Libya is impossibly complex.
:17:21. > :17:22.It has had two other governments since 2014.
:17:23. > :17:24.One in Tripoli controlled by Islamists.
:17:25. > :17:27.The other in Tobruk - 1000 kilometres away -
:17:28. > :17:35.Then between the two is Sirte which is controlled
:17:36. > :17:45.That's not the only place where they operate.
:17:46. > :17:49.Last month the US carried out air strikes on IS positions close
:17:50. > :17:53.to Sabratha, and French special forces are known to be
:17:54. > :18:01.It is an incredibly complex situation.
:18:02. > :18:04.Our Middle East Editor Jeremy Bowen is in Tripoli.
:18:05. > :18:09.Here are his thoughts on the challenges faced by Libya.
:18:10. > :18:19.This is the naval base in Tripoli, the Libyan capital. At at the moment
:18:20. > :18:24.it is about as far as the power of the new government runs. They had to
:18:25. > :18:30.sail end because opponents here in Libya close the airspace. The
:18:31. > :18:35.challenge is to try to make alliances with the different militia
:18:36. > :18:40.groups and drives that control this country and try to spread their
:18:41. > :18:46.influence out. It is going to be a tall order. The idea is that this
:18:47. > :18:49.can bring stability of some sort to Libya, a country which has pretty
:18:50. > :18:55.much been an chaos ever since the uprising that toppled Colonel
:18:56. > :19:00.Gaddafi in 2011. President Obama in a recent interview said that perhaps
:19:01. > :19:03.the biggest regret of his presidency was the fact that after 2011 the
:19:04. > :19:09.Americans didn't work harder to stabilise Libya, and he hoped the
:19:10. > :19:13.Europeans, the British and French, would have done more of what he
:19:14. > :19:17.called the heavy lifting. Maybe that is starting somewhat belatedly now.
:19:18. > :19:19.Let's start on business. It's too simplistic to say
:19:20. > :19:23.they are caused by oversupply - but reducing supply remains
:19:24. > :19:27.the easiest and quickest solution - and once again producers have
:19:28. > :19:34.failed to agree to do it. Given that many of these countries
:19:35. > :19:39.need higher oil prices to balance their budgets,
:19:40. > :19:53.this all begs the question - why? Let's go live to New York to talk
:19:54. > :20:01.about this. What is the motivation to not reduce supply? Apparently,
:20:02. > :20:05.Iran refused to sign up to any deal and Saudi Arabia made a condition
:20:06. > :20:14.that without Iran's involvement it wouldn't. This left essentially cox
:20:15. > :20:19.falling apart, as one person put it, geopolitics rearing its ugly head
:20:20. > :20:23.again when it comes to Saudi Arabian oil policy, and this comes at a
:20:24. > :20:27.difficult time because as you see many Opec countries are on the
:20:28. > :20:34.brink, countries like Angola, who have had to go to the IMF for help.
:20:35. > :20:38.Others, Venezuela, the economy has been so crippled in part due to
:20:39. > :20:44.problems with the falling oil price that they have even had to cut hours
:20:45. > :20:47.of the work week, so for some members, they can ill afford to see
:20:48. > :20:53.low oil prices continue. But is this just about supply, or is it about a
:20:54. > :20:58.fundamental shift in the nature of the energy consumption habits of the
:20:59. > :21:05.world? In this particular case, a lot of focus has been on supply more
:21:06. > :21:11.than OnDemand. The other aspect of this, and I was in North Dakota
:21:12. > :21:16.recently and from we are set, American oil producers see it as a
:21:17. > :21:19.price war between Saudi Arabia and the US shale producers who have
:21:20. > :21:25.helped to flood the market and help drive some of the price shifts we
:21:26. > :21:28.have seen. Interestingly, what people are now saying is that he
:21:29. > :21:34.will start to see market forces taking effect and worth the price so
:21:35. > :21:39.low you will see the US and other non-OPEC countries begin to produce
:21:40. > :21:43.less oil land that could help achieve what Opec in this particular
:21:44. > :21:51.instance has not, which is to freeze output. An interesting tweet saying
:21:52. > :21:57.the Opec failure to reach a deal shows Saudi Arabia hates ran even
:21:58. > :22:01.more than it hates losing money. A quick report for you about two
:22:02. > :22:06.sisters in America, huge fans of romantic fiction, and they have
:22:07. > :22:15.taken that to another level opening a book shop dedicated to the genre.
:22:16. > :22:22.The fact that up till now the bestselling genre in America didn't
:22:23. > :22:29.have its own book store didn't seem fair to us. You have comic book
:22:30. > :22:32.stores and science stories, all of which combined, Romance sells more
:22:33. > :22:38.than. We deserve our own book store to.
:22:39. > :22:46.It is a really interesting when you look at teenage girls, you look at
:22:47. > :22:51.things like Twilight, and the is just an inherent dismissal of
:22:52. > :22:54.whatever teenage girls like, despite the fact they have huge buying power
:22:55. > :23:00.and should not be dismissed and I think that extends to women of all
:23:01. > :23:05.ages. And even if there is not a dismissal there is a demeaning of
:23:06. > :23:10.what young women enjoy, as though by enjoying it it somehow doesn't have
:23:11. > :23:14.worth. Just trying to work out if that was a cardboard cutout of a
:23:15. > :23:19.naked man in the background. I will have to watch that report again.
:23:20. > :23:25.Let's turn to Australia because things have been getting strange.
:23:26. > :23:28.At least they have in a place called Southport on the Gold Coast.
:23:29. > :23:30.The American actress Amber Heard and her husband Johnny Depp
:23:31. > :23:34.Here they are making their way through the scrum.
:23:35. > :23:38.declaring their two dogs when she flew in last year to visit
:23:39. > :23:43.Amber Heard admitted falsifying quarantine documents and has been
:23:44. > :23:54.She will not be in the country so we are not sure what that will mean.
:23:55. > :23:57.The two of them also released a bizarre video apology.
:23:58. > :23:59.If you're not one of the millions who've already watched it.
:24:00. > :24:22.Australia is free of many pests and diseases that are found around the
:24:23. > :24:28.world. When you disrespect as Julian la they will get you for it. I am
:24:29. > :24:31.truly sorry that it was not declared. Protecting Australia is
:24:32. > :24:35.important. They cleared everything if you go to Australia. Thank you.
:24:36. > :24:38.And that was that. Very, very surreal indeed,
:24:39. > :24:40.one wonders whether that is going to be featuring
:24:41. > :24:43.in the Australian Tourism Board's promotional videos at
:24:44. > :24:46.sometime in the future. That actually went out on YouTube
:24:47. > :24:49.yesterday and one wonders whether it went some way to what seems to have
:24:50. > :24:53.been a deal that has been done The two more serious charges
:24:54. > :24:56.of illegally importing Just one charge which
:24:57. > :25:03.she pleaded guilty to - falsifying quarantine documents,
:25:04. > :25:04.which basically means ticking the wrong box on those pieces
:25:05. > :25:07.of paper you get when flying That was apparently blamed on one
:25:08. > :25:11.of her personal assistants. I think there are people asking,
