:00:08. > :00:11.Hello, I'm Ros Atkins, this is Outside Source.

:00:12. > :00:13.Scientists hail a "milestone" in understanding what

:00:14. > :00:23.New research gives a near-complete picture of the genetic mutations

:00:24. > :00:25.involved and could lead to fresh methods of treatment.

:00:26. > :00:29.For years this he has been a mystery, Now he's given

:00:30. > :00:32.an exclusive interview to Rory Cellan Jones and he says

:00:33. > :00:44.I am going to come in front of the camera wants and I will never, ever

:00:45. > :00:49.The BBC's been told that Zika virus could affect far more babies

:00:50. > :00:54.The first cruise from the US to Cuba in nearly 40 years has

:00:55. > :01:10.We are keeping a close eye on the English Premier League. It is

:01:11. > :01:36.Chelsea 0- two Tottenham. To quickly mention that the ball,

:01:37. > :01:41.this is the feed that we have from a pub in Leicester. That is a large

:01:42. > :01:48.group of anxious men, women and children. At the moment, that game

:01:49. > :01:50.is not going to the plan for Leicester. Chelsea are losing 2-0

:01:51. > :02:05.against Tottenham. If Tottenham if Chelsea draw

:02:06. > :02:14.on loose, Leicester have the title. We begin with a story

:02:15. > :02:16.of huge significance. Scientists say they have

:02:17. > :02:21.a near-perfect picture of the genetic mutations that

:02:22. > :02:24.cause breast cancer. Enjoying a spot of Bank Holiday

:02:25. > :02:27.Monday gardening, Vanessa Babbage But Vanessa has fought

:02:28. > :02:30.a long, arduous battle After extensive surgery,

:02:31. > :02:32.chemo and radiotherapy, she knows how devastating the disease

:02:33. > :02:36.and its treatment can be. It's actually worse

:02:37. > :02:42.than the cancer itself, because you are constantly ill,

:02:43. > :02:47.so they do try to help you to minimise the side-effects by giving

:02:48. > :02:50.you other drugs to help the nausea and things like that, so

:02:51. > :02:58.the treatment is very, very harsh. Scanners like this one are used to

:02:59. > :03:01.detect and monitor cancerous tumours once they've already developed,

:03:02. > :03:04.but to understand the underlying causes of cancer, scientists have

:03:05. > :03:09.had to go much deeper, to the level of DNA,

:03:10. > :03:12.to try and work out what happens An international team of scientists,

:03:13. > :03:18.led by the Sanger Institute in Cambridge, examined all 3 billion

:03:19. > :03:22.letters in the genetic code of every What they've found has transformed

:03:23. > :03:29.the understanding of what happens Getting a comprehensive collection

:03:30. > :03:37.of information, including the mutations that are causing cancer,

:03:38. > :03:42.tells us something about why that cancer is going wrong,

:03:43. > :03:44.why that cell is turning into a cancerous cell,

:03:45. > :03:48.and if you can understand that, you can understand the causes

:03:49. > :03:51.of the cancer, and then you can This opens up the possibility

:03:52. > :03:56.of much greater individualised treatments for cancer,

:03:57. > :04:00.targeting each of the mutations. That's already happening with some

:04:01. > :04:02.treatments, like the drug Herceptin, but experts believe this

:04:03. > :04:07.could be a big step forward. What this study might

:04:08. > :04:09.achieve is finding better treatments, matching

:04:10. > :04:11.them better to women. By understanding the causes that

:04:12. > :04:16.underline the biology of different types of the disease,

:04:17. > :04:19.we might be able to match better treatments and offer them things

:04:20. > :04:22.that are more likely to work for Back at home, Vanessa Babbage

:04:23. > :04:27.is moving on with her life after cancer, and she is optimistic that

:04:28. > :04:30.science is starting to make real headway in the fight

:04:31. > :04:33.against the disease. It gives people hope,

:04:34. > :04:37.because when people are affected by someone that they love

:04:38. > :04:41.and they have breast cancer, they hope for a better future

:04:42. > :04:45.for other women that are going to be This research has transformed

:04:46. > :04:49.the understanding of cancer, and offers the tantalising prospect

:04:50. > :04:51.it could prevent the disease This is the Australian

:04:52. > :05:10.businessman who says he created He's called Craig Wright

:05:11. > :05:13.and he's spoken to three media organisations -

:05:14. > :05:23.the Economist and us. Rory Cellan-Jones did

:05:24. > :05:27.the interview for the BBC - First, here's Craig Wright on why

:05:28. > :05:39.he'd rather be doing no interviews. It is my right to say I did

:05:40. > :05:48.something. Why do I have to take credit for its? Why? Wouldn't you be

:05:49. > :05:50.proud? Yes, but that doesn't mean they have to bounce around in front

:05:51. > :06:01.of TV cameras. It's been thought that the founder

:06:02. > :06:09.of Bitcoin will have amassed That would give him or her a net

:06:10. > :06:24.worth of about $450m. Now we know that the Australian Tax

:06:25. > :06:37.Office is taking an interest We have told them about the tax

:06:38. > :06:42.issues and implications. We put in everything but the auditors we were

:06:43. > :06:47.using, and a number of tax lawyers at the time. We had an internal

:06:48. > :06:53.audit and navigate back to the tax office so we could the right amounts

:06:54. > :06:56.of tax. Because the body really understands bitcoins very well, the

:06:57. > :07:03.timing or anything like that, it is still an ongoing matter. Lawyers are

:07:04. > :07:04.negotiating how much tax I will. -- Iowa.

:07:05. > :07:07.Next, here's a message for any journalists or award

:07:08. > :07:23.If anybody ever puts me up for an award, I would never accept the

:07:24. > :07:27.centre. If you put me for a Nobel Prize, put me up for some honour, I

:07:28. > :07:33.will never accept the scent from any of you for anything. I am going to

:07:34. > :07:38.do this once and once only. I am going to come in front of that

:07:39. > :07:46.camera wants and I will never, ever be on a camera ever again for any TV

:07:47. > :07:49.You'd have thought that this announcement might bring an end

:07:50. > :08:05.He has already set off a firestorm on the Internet. There is passionate

:08:06. > :08:12.community around bitcoin, people who know a lot about crypto currencies.

:08:13. > :08:15.They are all arguing if whether he is the real thing. They are saying

:08:16. > :08:21.it is not sufficient proof that he is provided. In the last 20 minutes

:08:22. > :08:26.was so we spoke to the Chief scientist of the bitcoin foundation.

:08:27. > :08:29.He was Sean proof by Doctor Craig Wright and he believes it, so that

:08:30. > :08:35.is quite an endorsement. Can you explain what that says in a way that

:08:36. > :08:39.we can understand? The proof that he has been giving to people is

:08:40. > :08:49.evidence that he has got the big -- digital signature that belonged to

:08:50. > :08:58.the Monaco used to set up the bitcoin transaction, the first one,

:08:59. > :09:02.back in 2009. You know that's nom de plume did that. He is saying he can

:09:03. > :09:06.reproduce that signature and verify that the private code that

:09:07. > :09:12.effectively only that person would have. People will try to pick that

:09:13. > :09:18.apart. Huge controversy raging amongst bitcoin enthusiasts. Some of

:09:19. > :09:22.the leading scientists who have seen the believe it. He is this man and

:09:23. > :09:27.what did he do if he did create bitcoin? He has been around in

:09:28. > :09:35.academic competing circles for quite a while working on this kind of area

:09:36. > :09:40.of crypto currencies. What he did was in 2008, if it is same, at paper

:09:41. > :09:46.was published on the Internet in a very obscure area of the Internet

:09:47. > :09:50.with these matters are discussed. A few weeks later the software to make

:09:51. > :09:56.it happen was released online. He has been public about being involved

:09:57. > :10:00.in bitcoin in one way or another. What is different is that he is

:10:01. > :10:01.claiming he is the man that did it, but he said he did have

:10:02. > :10:04.collaborators. We've talked about the Zika

:10:05. > :10:07.virus a lot recently - but the BBC has learned how it

:10:08. > :10:10.could be far worse than feared. Sarah Robbins said:

:10:11. > :10:19."Scientists studying test-tube "mini-brains" have been astonished

:10:20. > :10:22.to see how fast the Zika virus kills brain cells" A couple of weeks

:10:23. > :10:24.after scientists said more than a quarter of the world's

:10:25. > :10:31.population live in areas at risk. The main risk is that Zika causes

:10:32. > :10:34.case of microcephaly - Estimates are that 1% of women

:10:35. > :10:43.who have had Zika during pregnancy will have a child with microcephaly

:10:44. > :10:51.But now leading doctors in Brazil say that as many as 20%

:10:52. > :10:53.of Zika-affected pregnancies will result in one of a range

:10:54. > :10:56.of other forms of brain damage They've been talking

:10:57. > :11:24.to the BBC's Wyre Davies. Perhaps some of the most interesting

:11:25. > :11:28.work on these mini brains is it shows how effective and destructive

:11:29. > :11:32.the Zika virus can be. Neuroscientists were shocked by what

:11:33. > :11:38.they discovered, a huge reduction in growth of this rebuttal cortex, the

:11:39. > :11:47.crucial outer layer of the brain. We were all astonished by the fast

:11:48. > :11:50.effect. We saw cell death within three days. Within six days, some

:11:51. > :11:57.parts are completely gone. Here's Julia Carneiro in Rio

:11:58. > :12:09.on the steps that are being taken Lots of work is being done on many

:12:10. > :12:14.fronts. Researchers are trying to find out vaccine for Zika. The

:12:15. > :12:18.government, all of the states across the country, are trying to avoid

:12:19. > :12:24.more people getting did, but the virus is spreading in Brazil and in

:12:25. > :12:30.many other countries and it is a very grave situation, especially for

:12:31. > :12:34.pregnant women. The initial assessment, the first studies coming

:12:35. > :12:39.night are trying to find an answer to the question how many women who

:12:40. > :12:43.have Zika during pregnancy Google want to have babies with

:12:44. > :12:49.microcephily? The initial and that suggested might be around 1%. What

:12:50. > :12:55.the scientists are saying is that this number may be higher because it

:12:56. > :12:57.is not just microcephily that may be caused by Zika. There are other

:12:58. > :13:05.neurological problems involved and it might be that one in every five

:13:06. > :13:08.children born to a mother who had Zika during her pregnancy has some

:13:09. > :13:16.kind of problem. That might be a hearing problem, and eyesight

:13:17. > :13:19.problem, convulsions later on in life. These doctors are also saying

:13:20. > :13:24.it is very important to keep following the development of these

:13:25. > :13:29.children, at least in the first two years of their lives to see what

:13:30. > :13:33.will happen because as many people have been saying in the medical The

:13:34. > :13:43.Disappeared that microcephily might be the tip of the iceberg. The

:13:44. > :13:48.English Premier League is at the sharp end of the season and that oil

:13:49. > :13:52.is down to this, Tottenham are away at Chelsea. That is the Leicester

:13:53. > :13:58.City fans watching the game. They know it Tottenham don't win, the

:13:59. > :14:06.team, the most improbable champions in decades. You can tell that it is

:14:07. > :14:10.not going for them. Tottenham are winning 2-0. Stays like that, it

:14:11. > :14:29.will go down to them playing against Everton on Saturday.

:14:30. > :14:39.A man has been shot dead by police in Kent. If followed investigations

:14:40. > :14:48.into a man who was beaten to death in his home in a burglary last

:14:49. > :14:54.month. Armed officers took part in a preplanned operation in relation to

:14:55. > :14:59.them death of the 73-year-old man in Biddenden in March this year. Shots

:15:00. > :15:04.were fired during the incident. One man was fatally injured at the scene

:15:05. > :15:08.and a firearm has been recovered. Formal identification of that man

:15:09. > :15:12.has not yet taken place but the family of a man officers wanted to

:15:13. > :15:18.locate in connection with the murder in Biddenden have been informed. The

:15:19. > :15:21.matter has now been referred to the Independent Police Complaints

:15:22. > :15:33.Commission, as is mandatory for all police shootings.

:15:34. > :15:39.Our lead story is that scientists say they have a near-perfect picture

:15:40. > :15:46.of the genetic events that cause breast cancer.

:15:47. > :15:51.There is a continuation of fighting in Aleppo in Syria. John Kerry is in

:15:52. > :15:56.Geneva trying to salvage a crumbling ceasefire. In the Democratic

:15:57. > :16:03.Republic of Congo, thousands of people have been attending the first

:16:04. > :16:09.day of commercial -- official commemorations for Papa Wemba. As

:16:10. > :16:12.body is lying in the Parliamentary building and will there be taken

:16:13. > :16:19.later to his family home for the public to view. A British firm has

:16:20. > :16:22.admitted the selling a humidifier disinfectant that killed around a

:16:23. > :16:27.hundred people in South Korea. This is the head of the company's South

:16:28. > :16:28.Korean division being attacked by relatives of victims as he

:16:29. > :16:40.apologised. crisis several times -

:16:41. > :16:43.well it's worsened. Its governor says it will NOT make

:16:44. > :16:45.a 400-million dollar repayment There had been negotiations with

:16:46. > :16:55.creditors but a deal wasn't cut. If we look back to the nature of the

:16:56. > :17:01.Puerto Rican economy, it is very uncompetitive. It has a very complex

:17:02. > :17:06.tax system. Its relationship with the United States makes it quite

:17:07. > :17:10.burdensome for companies from outside to settle and understand the

:17:11. > :17:14.system. If we look at the key turning point we can probably go

:17:15. > :17:19.back a decade and look at the exploration of section nine 36 of

:17:20. > :17:23.the internal revenue code, which is to provide special tax breaks for US

:17:24. > :17:29.corporations setting up organisations in Puerto Rico. When

:17:30. > :17:34.those exemptions on corporate income tax were done away with, the economy

:17:35. > :17:38.went into a recession that we are seeing to this day and the local

:17:39. > :17:44.government decided to borrow heavily in order to balance its budget. That

:17:45. > :17:47.effectively is what brings us to the situation today whether government

:17:48. > :17:52.has been spending a lot more than it can afford and now it is in the

:17:53. > :18:00.position where it can't pay its creditors. There has been population

:18:01. > :18:04.movement. Because of Puerto Rico's special relationship of the United

:18:05. > :18:08.States as a territory, if citizens are US citizens and have the right

:18:09. > :18:15.to move freely in the United States. The population has pension shrinking

:18:16. > :18:19.rapidly in the last five years. We can see a situation now with a

:18:20. > :18:22.population of Puerto Rico will actually lose a generation, which

:18:23. > :18:29.would dampen the prospect of economic growth in the medium and

:18:30. > :18:34.long-term as the economic active predator weakens resettle on

:18:35. > :18:42.continental America. If the government does not have money to

:18:43. > :18:47.keep its basic services running, how can it respond to a special crisis

:18:48. > :18:55.and one of the key issues facing Puerto Rico now is the potential

:18:56. > :18:58.expansion of the Zika virus. Michelle, Hanley understand the

:18:59. > :19:04.economic and political relationship between Puerto Rico and America.

:19:05. > :19:09.Part of the problem is that it is a territory not a state. It is not

:19:10. > :19:13.eligible to applied for bankruptcy protection. In the city of Detroit

:19:14. > :19:19.had to file for bankruptcy, it was able to file to get assistance and

:19:20. > :19:24.to apply for certain rules as a state. This is not open to Puerto

:19:25. > :19:36.Rico. That is part of the debate and the application to Congress that at

:19:37. > :19:44.some point Congress should reassessed that. It should be

:19:45. > :19:48.allowed to re-negotiate with its creditors. Since it is not able to

:19:49. > :19:52.do that we are seeing the situation where the government is forced to

:19:53. > :19:56.say we can't make these debt payments. We have seen several

:19:57. > :20:02.repayments being missed. Thinking about the euro in crisis and the way

:20:03. > :20:07.analysts used to talk about contagion if certain debts were not

:20:08. > :20:10.dealt with, is there of the risk that what is happening in Puerto

:20:11. > :20:16.Rico could cross over to the main US economy and have consequences?

:20:17. > :20:20.People like to talk about Puerto Rico being America's Greece, but I

:20:21. > :20:27.think the comparison is more like with the city of Detroit, which had

:20:28. > :20:32.a manager that was brought in to manage the city back to health and

:20:33. > :20:38.take tough economic decisions. The question is, what will Congress do

:20:39. > :20:41.in the case of Puerto Rico? One lawmaker, Paul Ryan, was against the

:20:42. > :20:46.idea of taking control in Puerto Rico, but at the same time taking

:20:47. > :20:50.fiscal control out of the hands of the territory. Something has to be

:20:51. > :20:55.done. A lot of people are pushing for this idea to give them some kind

:20:56. > :20:57.of work around the roof so it can apply for some kind of bankruptcy

:20:58. > :21:03.detection and work at another solution. Whether Congress agrees to

:21:04. > :21:13.that, that is what the talk is at the moment.

:21:14. > :21:25.Next, airships! They are being reinvented by one British company.

:21:26. > :21:31.This hangar has remarkable history. Some of the largest aircraft ever to

:21:32. > :21:36.take to the skies were built here. That was almost a century ago that

:21:37. > :21:42.inside now a new airborne giant is taking place. This is the error land

:21:43. > :21:51.of ten. It is 90 metres long, longer than a super jumbo. It contains

:21:52. > :21:57.28,000 cubic metres of helium and it can stay in the air for five days.

:21:58. > :22:00.It was created by hybrid air vehicles for the US military as a

:22:01. > :22:05.high-flying spy in the sky but the project was cancelled, so the

:22:06. > :22:10.company's engineers brought back all the kit and decided to develop it

:22:11. > :22:17.for themselves. It is a mixture of the plane, helicopter and airships.

:22:18. > :22:22.It is a lifting body shape, it has gas inside it and its engines can

:22:23. > :22:28.trust air up, down, left and right degree of flight. What is it

:22:29. > :22:32.actually like to fly? We are cruising over the centre of London.

:22:33. > :22:39.I have the normal flight instruments. The test pilot is

:22:40. > :22:44.finding out in this simulator. You can feel the inertia of the

:22:45. > :22:48.aeroplane aloft. You make small control in Britain before the clap

:22:49. > :22:51.to respond. It is a bit like steering the ship. Hybrid air

:22:52. > :22:57.vehicles think that it can be used for a huge variety of tasks from

:22:58. > :23:00.disaster relief to tourism. It says the aircraft is almost ready to take

:23:01. > :23:09.to the skies in Britain for the first time.

:23:10. > :23:11.He's no stranger to incendiary comments -

:23:12. > :23:13.today Donald Trump has taken aim at China, saying their raping

:23:14. > :23:16.the US, whilst criticising their trade policy.

:23:17. > :23:25.We have a 500 and dollar deficit, trade deficit, with China. We were

:23:26. > :23:30.going to turn it around. We have the cards. We are like the piggy bank

:23:31. > :23:35.that is being robbed. We have a lot of power with China. If China

:23:36. > :23:39.doesn't want to fix the problem in North Korea we say, fixed the

:23:40. > :23:44.problem because we can't allow China to continue to rape our country and

:23:45. > :23:50.that is what the doing. It is the greatest theft in the history of the

:23:51. > :23:55.world. I have been speaking about this and how it is seen in China. If

:23:56. > :24:00.you look at the figures, China and the US has a huge trade deficit. In

:24:01. > :24:06.the first two months of this year the trade deficits between the two

:24:07. > :24:15.countries reached 57 billion US dollars. This is the kind of

:24:16. > :24:19.interesting, easy rhetoric to sell to the voters, that China is ripping

:24:20. > :24:27.off the US. He has been repeating this line for many months. He used

:24:28. > :24:33.this very derogatory word today. He feels like China is devaluing the

:24:34. > :24:39.currency. The liberally. That is one of the speculations. The reality is

:24:40. > :24:43.more complicated. The reason why Chinese currency is devaluing is

:24:44. > :24:50.partly because Chinese policymakers might want to make China's export

:24:51. > :24:55.more competitive, but also its reflects an economic domestic

:24:56. > :25:01.reality is that a lot of capital is leaving the country. That is to do

:25:02. > :25:06.value that currency. Looking at the economics, the two countries are

:25:07. > :25:11.having a more complicated economic relationship than ever. When Donald

:25:12. > :25:16.Trump speaks, the people in China care? Some do. A lot of the Chinese

:25:17. > :25:23.observers are quite sophisticated and they know this this is China
