Hello, I'm Ros Atkins, this is Outside Source.

:00:07.:00:13.

It is this an hour of international news, live from the BBC newsroom.

:00:14.:00:20.

Through our screen, we can access all the latest information coming to

:00:21.:00:21.

us. This is the live feed

:00:22.:00:22.

from the Senate as it debates where to suspend the president

:00:23.:00:26.

and begin impeachment proceedings. There has been a series of attacks

:00:27.:00:28.

in Iraq's capital Baghdad. Nearly 100 people have been killed

:00:29.:00:32.

in a series of attacks. So-called Islamic State says it

:00:33.:00:35.

carried out the biggest one. We will talk to BBC Arabic about why

:00:36.:00:43.

they might be motivated to carry out these attacks.

:00:44.:00:45.

We've got response from China on those comments

:00:46.:00:47.

She was filmed calling Chinese officials "rude".

:00:48.:00:53.

In OS business, we'll talk about Elon Musk's Hyperloop system,

:00:54.:00:57.

which is getting its first test drive today.

:00:58.:01:01.

I will explain what it is as well. As usual, if you have questions

:01:02.:01:08.

about any of our stories, particularly Brazil because that

:01:09.:01:12.

story should develop through the hour, the hashtag is #BBCOS, use

:01:13.:01:20.

that and all your comments straight to me. -- your comments come

:01:21.:01:26.

straight to me. Dilma Rouseff is still

:01:27.:01:29.

the President of Brazil. But give it a few hours and Brazil's

:01:30.:01:31.

senators may change that. Let's bring up the quad

:01:32.:01:39.

to look at the feed coming The debate on whether to start

:01:40.:01:42.

impeachment proceedings against Dilma Rousseff has begun

:01:43.:01:46.

several hours ago. It is expected to go gone... On for

:01:47.:01:54.

a good few hours. She is accused of illegally

:01:55.:02:01.

concealing the size We will keep a close eye on that

:02:02.:02:03.

feed. Reuters reporter in Brasillia:

:02:04.:02:07.

"Brazil's Rousseff has cleared out her office" -

:02:08.:02:14.

meaning she's removed This story is important

:02:15.:02:15.

and fiendishly complicated Camilla Costa's made this report

:02:16.:02:24.

to guide us all through it. Al, Brazil. The country hosting the

:02:25.:02:44.

Olympic Games this year, right? So nice! That not everything is bright

:02:45.:02:52.

and sunny over there right now. -- but not everything. This is no

:02:53.:02:56.

carnival, it is a protest, one of many. Brazil is going through its

:02:57.:03:01.

worst recession in decades and President Dilma Rousseff is facing

:03:02.:03:04.

an impeachment process in Congress. She could be out of office by the

:03:05.:03:11.

time the Games start. What is going on? Brazil felt on top of the world

:03:12.:03:15.

went Rousseff was elected in 2010, says the global election heads,

:03:16.:03:23.

Brazil kept spending, debt grew, inflation rose and unemployment went

:03:24.:03:26.

up. And what is this about impeachment? President Dilma

:03:27.:03:30.

Rousseff has been accused of borrowing money from public ranks in

:03:31.:03:33.

order to cut the public gaps, given the impression that the government

:03:34.:03:39.

's's finances were still in top shape. Some prominent opposition

:03:40.:03:44.

lawyers thought this was serious enough to warrant impeachment,

:03:45.:03:47.

according to our Constitution. Other presidents have done this in the

:03:48.:03:50.

past, so Dilma Rousseff is asking why she is being singled out? This

:03:51.:03:56.

time, it was a lot of money. The president has called moves to

:03:57.:04:00.

impeach her a clue that threatens the social programmes that lifted

:04:01.:04:05.

many out of poverty. The row has studied divisions of race, class and

:04:06.:04:13.

political ideology, and it has inspired passionate performances

:04:14.:04:20.

against her. Check this out. What else can go wrong? Have I

:04:21.:04:26.

mentioned the corruption scandal? In 2014, a massive investigation

:04:27.:04:30.

revealed an illegal multibillion-dollar scheme involving

:04:31.:04:37.

Brazil's oil company. Some of the country the smug richest executives

:04:38.:04:41.

and top politicians were charged and imprisoned, including some close to

:04:42.:04:46.

the government. So far, no charges have been levelled against President

:04:47.:04:49.

Rousseff, but some believe she should be held responsible since she

:04:50.:04:57.

has been in power all this time. At the three politicians who could

:04:58.:05:01.

succeed her, all former allies, have been implicated or charged. Looking

:05:02.:05:06.

good?! Whoever wins this political dispute will have to deal with the

:05:07.:05:10.

big economic crisis, a divided population and a Congress that

:05:11.:05:18.

behaves like this... Right now, it seems like things in

:05:19.:05:22.

Brazil will get at least a little worse before they get better.

:05:23.:05:26.

I have been watching this feed, no signs of any singing but plenty of

:05:27.:05:34.

criticism of the president. Let's go live to Brasilia, Julia Carneiro

:05:35.:05:37.

joins us. You have been listening across the debate, what is the tone

:05:38.:05:47.

and the mood towards the President? There is lots of pointing fingers at

:05:48.:05:53.

the president, her government and listing the problems of her

:05:54.:05:56.

administration, talking about the economic recession that Brazil is

:05:57.:06:01.

immersed in, inflation on the rise, high unemployment numbers that we

:06:02.:06:07.

are facing right now. The speeches being delivered in the Senate, so

:06:08.:06:12.

far, the white majority of them have been against the president -- the

:06:13.:06:21.

vast majority. Declaring their vote in favour of the impeachment

:06:22.:06:24.

proceedings so that they can go forward. We will still see this

:06:25.:06:29.

develop for hours. It is a very lengthy process. The vote will only

:06:30.:06:36.

start at night. After all the senators have spoken. They are all

:06:37.:06:40.

entitled to speak for 15 minutes. Less than 20 have spoken, we will

:06:41.:06:47.

get to almost 70 later today. If you do the maths, it is bound to wind up

:06:48.:06:52.

finishing at 3am, for I am, who knows? In the meantime, the country

:06:53.:06:57.

is watching with a lot of expectation. It seems that the

:06:58.:07:02.

outcome is clear, that a majority will vote for the impeachment to go

:07:03.:07:06.

forward, in which case President Dilma Rousseff will be suspended and

:07:07.:07:11.

face trial. Had way too those who argue that she should be suspended

:07:12.:07:15.

belief that doing that will help resolve any of the problems you have

:07:16.:07:20.

listed? -- and why do those who argue? I think there is an

:07:21.:07:27.

understanding that there is nowhere else to go in this government. There

:07:28.:07:33.

is a complete mistrust inherent ministration and competence, there

:07:34.:07:40.

is a belief that there are external factors involved in the economic

:07:41.:07:45.

crisis as well. She is being blamed for the economic recession that

:07:46.:07:49.

Brazil is immersed in, that is the widespread early. We can list many

:07:50.:07:53.

faults in her government, she is not known for being very able,

:07:54.:07:59.

politically. She is quite stubborn, known to be tough to handle and not

:08:00.:08:03.

a person that will listen to advice that much. But the impeachment

:08:04.:08:10.

itself is very controversial because it is seen as being based in a very

:08:11.:08:15.

frail argument. It is very much a political process, there is a

:08:16.:08:24.

political will in Congress to remove the president, reflecting this view

:08:25.:08:29.

that the country needs another politician in power to change the

:08:30.:08:37.

path and this means, as well, putting aside the Workers' Party

:08:38.:08:41.

that has been in power for 13 years now. Just before I let you go, I was

:08:42.:08:47.

about to say goodbye, but one viewer says, if she is suspended, do you

:08:48.:08:52.

know who will take over? Can you give this a name? Her vice president

:08:53.:09:02.

will take over from her. He is from the PNDB. Last year he said there

:09:03.:09:06.

was no way that impeachment would go forward, now he is backing this and

:09:07.:09:11.

talking about who would be in his Cabinet. If you have questions,

:09:12.:09:16.

#BBCOS is the hashtag and I will do my best to get you an answer.

:09:17.:09:19.

Let's switch from Brazil to Iraq. Today we've seen the biggest attack

:09:20.:09:20.

of the year in Baghdad. A car bomb in a market

:09:21.:09:23.

killed at least 64 people. This was in the Shia district

:09:24.:09:26.

of Sadr City. The Islamic State group

:09:27.:09:28.

is claiming the attack. That was followed by two more

:09:29.:09:30.

explosions a few hours later. One was in a Shia district

:09:31.:09:33.

killing around 30 people, the other a Sunni district,

:09:34.:09:36.

killing seven more. These are some of the latest

:09:37.:09:42.

pictures from the scene Officials are say the

:09:43.:09:44.

death toll will rise. The line from the Iraqi

:09:45.:09:54.

authorities is that IS is under pressure -

:09:55.:09:58.

and these car bombs Certainly IS has

:09:59.:10:00.

lost some territory. On Monday a senior IS leader

:10:01.:10:03.

the group was killed killed by coalition air strike

:10:04.:10:07.

in Anbar province. we asked Mohammed Yehia from BBC

:10:08.:10:20.

Arabic to come and see us. To try understand Islamic State's

:10:21.:10:24.

rationale behind this attack, we asked Mohammed Yehia from BBC

:10:25.:10:26.

Arabic to come and see us. This appears a very calculated

:10:27.:10:33.

series of attacks, starting with the most deadly one in the morning,

:10:34.:10:36.

during rush hour, where most of the casualties happened, followed by the

:10:37.:10:42.

two others. By doing this, IS is playing on several things. First of

:10:43.:10:47.

all, when they spread fear among the population in Baghdad they project

:10:48.:10:51.

an image of themselves as being able to infiltrate the capital and

:10:52.:10:54.

inflect these painful casualties on the Iraqis. This is a very important

:10:55.:11:00.

weapon of psychological warfare. The other thing is that they are playing

:11:01.:11:06.

on the sectarian... Inflaming the sectarian tensions. This serves them

:11:07.:11:12.

very well. They attack the shears, this year's launch reprise of

:11:13.:11:16.

attacks against the Sydney 's, when they present themselves as allies.

:11:17.:11:26.

-- they attack the shears macro, -- Shias. The visor want to talk about

:11:27.:11:34.

the situation in Fallujah. It is about an hour west of Baghdad, it

:11:35.:11:37.

has been under IS controls the two years. We have obtained footage from

:11:38.:11:43.

inside the city. Have a look. Some people would be watching that

:11:44.:12:22.

and thinking how is it possible for IS to hold onto a city so close to

:12:23.:12:28.

Baghdad for so long? Fallujah is in the Anbar province, and buys the

:12:29.:12:34.

Sunni heartland of Iraq. -- and that is the Sunni heartland. The problem

:12:35.:12:38.

goes back to the previous Prime Minister, who was accused of being

:12:39.:12:43.

sectarian and favouring Shias and discriminating against Sony 's

:12:44.:12:50.

macro, this is when IS started to expand. They took over cities. The

:12:51.:12:58.

population are hostages. If they manage to get out of their and go

:12:59.:13:06.

into Baghdad, they looked at with suspicion. People don't know if they

:13:07.:13:10.

are genuinely escaping or our undercover IS operatives. The people

:13:11.:13:17.

there are facing starvation, as we see. Because of the siege on

:13:18.:13:20.

Fallujah which has been going on for weeks. This is the problem, IS have

:13:21.:13:27.

a grip on the Sunni heartland of Iraq, keeping the population

:13:28.:13:31.

hostage, inflaming sectarian tensions, this is how they keep

:13:32.:13:35.

attracting new recruits. If you speak Arabic you can get

:13:36.:13:39.

coverage of that service on the BBC Arabic website.

:13:40.:13:44.

If you are into football, Sunderland 3-0 up against Everton. Unless

:13:45.:13:47.

something very strange happens, they will stay in the Premier League and

Northern Ireland-related terror in Britain has been

raised to "substantial". It comes after a number of instances

of violence in Northern Ireland and means that an attack in the rest

an ideal has not achieved what it set out to achieve, and all

Republican, Marxist Irish state. We have British rule administered by

:14:42.:14:46.

Sinn Fein in coalition with ourselves. That is a fact of life,

:14:47.:14:51.

Sinn Fein have accepted that their war could not win. Dissidents have

never accepted that, they can only offer more mayhem, more murder and

the knowledge that people will standard to them. There is no

strategy, as far as we can determine, just pure evil and pure

terror, which is why we must stand up to it.

Brazil's Senate is deciding whether to impeach president Dilma Rousseff.

Minister Yusuf Raza Gilani has returned home to Pakistan

after being held by Al-Qaeda-linked militants

in Afghanistan for three years. He was freed by a joint Afghan-US

special forces operation on Tuesday. Russia is safely

through to the final Sergei Lazarev is the favourite to

:15:55.:15:56.

win the whole thing. A state of emergency has been

:15:57.:16:01.

declared in parts of Oklahoma after tornadoes and flooding damaged

:16:02.:16:11.

property and killed two people. Six states in total have been hit

:16:12.:16:14.

by more than 20 tornadoes. More of those pictures

:16:15.:16:16.

on the BBC News app. Last month Saudi Arabia

:16:17.:16:25.

announced a plan to radically modernise its economy -

:16:26.:16:27.

the core idea is to move away from its almost total

:16:28.:16:30.

dependence on oil and gas. The need for that is brought

:16:31.:16:37.

into focus by current price levels. They are down 60% from their peak

:16:38.:16:42.

in 2014. But diversifying the

:16:43.:16:44.

economy will need cash. There's a plan to sell a 5% stake

:16:45.:16:51.

in Aramco, which is the vast The BBC's business editor

:16:52.:16:56.

Simon Jack has been This is a south-eastern outburst of

:16:57.:17:23.

Saudi Aramco 's sprawling empire. Controversially, they want to sell

:17:24.:17:27.

its Feyzabad to foreign investors. Why now? We have seen volatility in

:17:28.:17:32.

the oil markets before. In 1998, oil prices were below $10 a barrel, in

:17:33.:17:39.

2007 they were $147. Why is this different? Do they want to put the

:17:40.:17:44.

Americans out of business? Do they want a hamstring Rana as it emerges?

:17:45.:17:50.

Or are they worried, as we move towards a low hydrocarbon future,

:17:51.:17:53.

that by the time they get the stuff out of the grounds it will not be

:17:54.:17:57.

worth much, so let's pump as much of it as long as we still can? These

:17:58.:18:01.

are some of the questions to the Saudi government and to the Saudi

:18:02.:18:06.

Aramco, which will be the world's's most valuable company, worth three

:18:07.:18:11.

times Apple by some calculations. Some people say it is because they

:18:12.:18:15.

have to diversify the economy, they need lots of young people in the

:18:16.:18:18.

country who need something to do -- they have lots of young people. This

:18:19.:18:22.

country cannot currently sustain the young people coming into the

:18:23.:18:26.

country. Whatever the reason there are some pretty epic things going on

:18:27.:18:31.

in the oil industry in this epic landscape.

:18:32.:18:34.

You heard Simon mention the value of the company

:18:35.:18:36.

could be about three Apples, well its actually closer to four.

:18:37.:18:38.

Current value of Apple is around $510 billion.

:18:39.:18:40.

It's though Aramco could be valued over $2 trillion -

:18:41.:18:43.

making it the biggest company in the world.

:18:44.:18:52.

The president and chief executive of Saudi Aramco spoke to Simon

:18:53.:18:54.

about the significance of this new economic blueprint.

:18:55.:19:00.

It is important, especially this time, to reduce dependency on oil,

:19:01.:19:10.

to have more sustained economic growth. You say timely, is that

:19:11.:19:17.

because of the arrival of US shale, is it because we are looking at a

:19:18.:19:22.

future with fewer hydrocarbons, we see a electric cars, are you worried

:19:23.:19:25.

you have so much of the stuff in the ground that one day you will not be

:19:26.:19:30.

able to sell it, you will have what we call stranded assets? Yes, there

:19:31.:19:35.

are more energy resources coming with the car and renewables, but

:19:36.:19:40.

they are starting from a small base. There are still a lot of challenges.

:19:41.:19:46.

Oil will continue to play a major part in the long term. When you

:19:47.:19:50.

privatise something, you have to publish your prospectus, talk about

:19:51.:19:54.

cost and production, give details about the quality of your reserves,

:19:55.:19:59.

all of those kind of things. Are you ready for that level of

:20:00.:20:03.

transparency? We have been always when we talk

:20:04.:20:07.

about transparency, we have been transparent with the main

:20:08.:20:11.

shareholder, which is the government, we have been transparent

:20:12.:20:15.

with our board. When we are listed and there are many shareholders, we

:20:16.:20:21.

will be sharing data, like any company is doing, sharing the

:20:22.:20:25.

results and details. When we share it, it'll a pleasant surprise for

:20:26.:20:31.

the rest of the industry. That business is on a skill like no

other. Elon Musk knows a thing or two about big as this!

:20:42.:20:44.

Elon Musk's Hyperloop transportation system is going to have its first

:20:45.:20:46.

Passengers would travel in pods through low pressure tubes at speeds

:20:47.:20:50.

Here's a video they've produced before their video today.

:20:51.:20:57.

-- a clip of that first test has come in.

:20:58.:21:05.

Three, two, one, start! CHEERING

:21:06.:21:14.

Let's bring in our correspondent from New York to talk about this.

:21:15.:21:20.

It is very exciting, fantastic PR for Elon Musk, but what is the idea,

:21:21.:21:26.

the moneymaking idea, behind it? The idea is that Elon Musk wants to find

:21:27.:21:30.

faster, more efficient ways to travel in different parts of the

:21:31.:21:34.

country. What he suggests is creating these tubes, and inside

:21:35.:21:41.

them you will have passenger parts, or pods that would hold goods, you

:21:42.:21:45.

could slip across from different parts of the country at speeds of

:21:46.:21:53.

about 750 mph. The test that we just saw happen, the video you just saw,

:21:54.:21:57.

took place in the desert in Nevada. The company, Hyperloop one, first

:21:58.:22:03.

tested this out, the test lasted less than two microseconds. In this

:22:04.:22:09.

very preliminary test they did not even have breaks for the Hyperloop

:22:10.:22:15.

yet -- brakes. It crashed into a sand Mac. -- sandbank, because they

:22:16.:22:23.

have not developed brakes yet, but they wanted to show off what they

:22:24.:22:26.

have come in terms of the new technology. Is he talking about when

:22:27.:22:32.

this might actually happen? They say they will be able to launch

:22:33.:22:35.

something a little bit longer and bigger by the end of the year, in

:22:36.:22:39.

terms of when we could actually get people on board, that'll be a little

:22:40.:22:43.

bit is the while to come. Thank you. Periscope is a live streaming app -
