:00:09. > :00:10.Hello, I'm Ros Atkins, this is Outside Source.

:00:11. > :00:15.We'll be live in Brasilia in a moment.

:00:16. > :00:17.President Dilma Rousseff has been suspended -

:00:18. > :00:26.Donald Trump could do with more support from

:00:27. > :00:34.Well, today he met Paul Ryan - the party's most senior member.

:00:35. > :00:41.The mood music is getting better. I do believe that we are now

:00:42. > :00:47.planting the seeds to get ourselves unified.

:00:48. > :00:55.Major changes to the way the BBC is regulated. We will also talk about

:00:56. > :00:59.the Olympic Games in Rio, and this eco-virus. A health expert has

:01:00. > :01:10.claimed the games should be cancelled because of the virus. --

:01:11. > :01:12.the Zika virus. You can get in touch using this

:01:13. > :01:30.hashtag. This time yesterday we were watching

:01:31. > :01:36.the Brazilian Senate debate whether to impeach Dilma Rousseff. They

:01:37. > :01:40.debated 20 hours, then reached a decision many thought inevitable.

:01:41. > :01:51.This is Michel Temer - he was vice-president,

:01:52. > :01:53.but now he has signed the official notification that

:01:54. > :02:11.Well, earlier today Dilma Rousseff addressed the nation.

:02:12. > :02:23.My Government has been undergoing sabotage, and the aim is to prevent

:02:24. > :02:32.me from governing, and trying to create a propitious environment for

:02:33. > :02:37.the coup. When an elected president is suspended because of an

:02:38. > :02:42.accusation of a crime I haven't committed, the name we give is not

:02:43. > :02:54.impeachment, it is coup. That is in a democratic company.

:02:55. > :02:57.Let's go live to our correspondent. The new interim president, most

:02:58. > :03:01.people watching will not know him very well.

:03:02. > :03:09.Many Brazilians wouldn't really know much about the acting president, a

:03:10. > :03:14.couple of months ago. He is actually very well-known in Congress. He was

:03:15. > :03:20.the president of the lower house of three times, he has become -- been

:03:21. > :03:26.the president of the largest party in Brazil for almost two decades. He

:03:27. > :03:30.has a reputation for being a peacemaker in Congress. He promises

:03:31. > :03:37.at this point as president to go back to a more orthodox economy, it

:03:38. > :03:43.is still unclear though how much he will be able to go through with

:03:44. > :03:49.this, given he will now face a divided population, and also a very

:03:50. > :03:53.angry workers' party no backing the opposition, claiming they were

:03:54. > :03:59.victims of a coup. He will have to prove that even though he was not

:04:00. > :04:02.elected, he can bring economic and political stability. Recent polls

:04:03. > :04:08.have shown that even though the majority of Brazilians wanted Dilma

:04:09. > :04:13.Rousseff out of office, they would also favour his impeachment.

:04:14. > :04:17.Is this the end of matters for Dilma Rousseff? Is there any realistic

:04:18. > :04:24.prospect of her getting back to the Presidency?

:04:25. > :04:27.Technically yes, the Senate will conduct an impeachment trial, and it

:04:28. > :04:36.needs a two thirds majority of votes to approve the -- her impeachment.

:04:37. > :04:41.This period will be important for acting president Michel Temer to

:04:42. > :04:47.show that he should stay in office. So it is possible technically that

:04:48. > :04:50.Dilma Rousseff comes back to office. It won't be easy and it looks

:04:51. > :04:55.unlikely at the moment. I guess in some ways this is the end

:04:56. > :05:10.of a hugely significant period in Brazil's politics.

:05:11. > :05:16.For many Brazilians that benefited heavily by the latest Government, it

:05:17. > :05:20.feels like the dream is over. And it did Brazil felt for a moment it was

:05:21. > :05:25.leaving a dream. So there are many lessons I think to be learned from

:05:26. > :05:29.this period, especially what this process has shown Brazilians, I

:05:30. > :05:34.would say, is the necessity of economic reforms, political reforms,

:05:35. > :05:38.so that is one of the things that many Brazilians are talking about

:05:39. > :05:42.now, not only trying to end corruption and punish it, but also

:05:43. > :05:45.when and who is going to be able to go through with the reforms that

:05:46. > :05:51.Brazilian politics desperately needs.

:05:52. > :05:55.First, he's met House Speaker Paul Ryan in an effort to get

:05:56. > :06:05.the Republican party leadership to support him.

:06:06. > :06:15.He's self-funded so far - spending about $47 million.

:06:16. > :06:18.But even he will struggle to find the estimated $1 billion

:06:19. > :06:20.to $2.5 billion it's estimated his campaign

:06:21. > :06:27.in the Presidential election will cost.

:06:28. > :06:30.And party support will help him to fund-raise.

:06:31. > :06:39.It looks like that support might be a bit closer today.

:06:40. > :06:44.Here's Ms -- here's Mr Ryan after the meeting.

:06:45. > :06:49.I was very encouraged with what I heard from Donald Trump today. I

:06:50. > :06:53.believe we are now planting the seeds to get ourselves unified, and

:06:54. > :06:58.so from here we are going to go deeper into the policy areas to see

:06:59. > :07:06.when that -- how we can make sure that we are operating off the same

:07:07. > :07:10.core principles. Our Washington correspondent is with

:07:11. > :07:15.us. These guys want to make a deal, don't they?

:07:16. > :07:21.What you didn't hear earlier today was "I endorse Donald Trump". He

:07:22. > :07:25.talked about building bridges, planting seeds, but I think Paul

:07:26. > :07:29.Ryan realises that Donald Trump is the face of the Republican party,

:07:30. > :07:33.whether he likes it or not. He doesn't have to be thrilled about it

:07:34. > :07:39.but he is going to have to fall into line because as he said, the key for

:07:40. > :07:44.the Republicans is beating Hillary Clinton, and he can't do that with

:07:45. > :07:50.that Donald Trump. So what is on Paul Ryan's check list of things

:07:51. > :07:54.that need to happen before he will give a full endorsement? He wants to

:07:55. > :07:59.see Donald Trump moderate some of his positions I think, and tone down

:08:00. > :08:03.some of the rhetoric. Paul Ryan and to worry about Republican members

:08:04. > :08:09.getting re-elected, and it will be hard for them to do that if Donald

:08:10. > :08:13.Trump is out there throwing very controversial positions out, because

:08:14. > :08:18.every Republican candidate, some of them at at risk seats, are going to

:08:19. > :08:22.have to answer whether or not they supported Donald Trump. It would

:08:23. > :08:25.make it harder for them to get back into Congress and keep all Ryan in

:08:26. > :08:30.power. You talk about Donald Trump

:08:31. > :08:35.moderating his message. This is the second story. That proposed ban on

:08:36. > :08:41.Muslims coming into the US, well, he says it is a temporary ban. So far

:08:42. > :08:45.that matches what he said in previous interviews. Then he said,

:08:46. > :08:49.this is just a suggestion until we find out what's going on. Anthony,

:08:50. > :08:57.that is far more gentle language then we heard before. It is the

:08:58. > :09:01.suggestion as opposed to a forceful recommendation. I don't think it is

:09:02. > :09:05.any coincidence that that happened yesterday on the eve of this meeting

:09:06. > :09:09.with congressional Republicans. I think Donald Trump is well aware

:09:10. > :09:15.that Paul Ryan was particularly critical of his anti-Muslim

:09:16. > :09:20.immigration ban. He said it wasn't what the Republican party was all

:09:21. > :09:26.about, so for Donald Trump to back off a little bit, say this is just a

:09:27. > :09:31.suggestion, I think that is something to watch closely, to see

:09:32. > :09:35.if he keeps up that kind of rhetoric. At the moment we have

:09:36. > :09:38.Republicans concentrating on the presidential election, but still

:09:39. > :09:45.Hillary Clinton is battling with Bernie Sanders. He was just another

:09:46. > :09:50.state the other day. Does that play against the Democrats? It will find

:09:51. > :09:58.-- make it harder for her to take on Donald Trump, but at the moment,

:09:59. > :10:02.yes, she's going to campaign in Kentucky, but she is going to

:10:03. > :10:06.Virginia and Ohio, these are swing States that will be battle grounds

:10:07. > :10:10.against Donald Trump. She has been talking about him in her campaign

:10:11. > :10:14.speeches a lot more than Bernie Sanders. She only mentions Bernie

:10:15. > :10:19.Sanders when she says we need to come together to face off against

:10:20. > :10:24.the Republicans. So it is a distraction, and I think it keeps

:10:25. > :10:33.somebody like Barack Obama from weighing in on the race. But it has

:10:34. > :10:42.not prevented her from at least trying to get into the General

:10:43. > :10:47.Election. The Government in the UK has set up major changes to the way

:10:48. > :10:52.the BBC is going to be run, and regulated over the next decade. The

:10:53. > :11:02.announcement had many details, these are some of the most significant.

:11:03. > :11:06.Ofcom already regulates all other UK broadcasters, so the BBC will be

:11:07. > :11:14.required to give greater focus to underserved minority audiences. And

:11:15. > :11:20.anyone with salaries over ?450,000 will be made public. This is about

:11:21. > :11:24.presenters, they are the only ones who get this kind of cash, don't

:11:25. > :11:31.expect my name to be on the list! But Chris Evans, who hosts the Radio

:11:32. > :11:33.2 breakfast show, spoke to journalists earlier.

:11:34. > :11:39.It is not breaking News that people who do what I do for a living get

:11:40. > :11:43.paid too much money. We have got jobs people would kill for, we get

:11:44. > :11:50.to do people -- things that people would pay to do, and sometimes those

:11:51. > :11:55.things aren't even available to buy. Most of us work part time anyway. So

:11:56. > :12:00.just pay us less, that's what I would do. It's not rocket science.

:12:01. > :12:05.Perhaps the biggest change in today's announcement is the way the

:12:06. > :12:10.BBC's going to be governed. The Government says it will create what

:12:11. > :12:13.it is calling a unitary board responsible for ensuring the

:12:14. > :12:18.corporation's strategy, activity and output are in the public interest.

:12:19. > :12:22.The concern is that the Government intends to appoint some of the

:12:23. > :12:27.members of that board, and some people have said this could call

:12:28. > :12:29.into question the impartiality of the proposed unitary board. This is

:12:30. > :12:50.what the director general has said. I asked Rob Watson to dissect this

:12:51. > :12:56.issue. We are a tiny bit of the BBC, there

:12:57. > :13:00.is a huge part of the news Empire both here in the UK and abroad, and

:13:01. > :13:04.there has been suggestion that maybe the Government might want to cut the

:13:05. > :13:10.BBC down to size at least here in the UK. That is not happening, the

:13:11. > :13:16.BBC is going to be a massive player for the foreseeable future. Another

:13:17. > :13:20.key part is this issue of independence. It is true the BBC

:13:21. > :13:24.will no longer be self-regulating, it will be overseen by another body

:13:25. > :13:30.that looks over all the other broadcasters, and then there is this

:13:31. > :13:34.issue of a board for the BBC, a governing board. Some of the concern

:13:35. > :13:41.people have expressed is that some of the people on that board will be

:13:42. > :13:44.appointed by politicians. That word "Politicians"! You can understand

:13:45. > :13:49.why people might be uncomfortable with the Government choosing some of

:13:50. > :13:53.the people who oversee the BBC. This isn't a done deal yet, I think

:13:54. > :13:57.both the BBC and the Government except there will be a bit of toing

:13:58. > :14:03.and froing. We are already hearing that this board, the majority of

:14:04. > :14:06.people would not be appointed by the Government, and the other thing

:14:07. > :14:09.that's being stressed is that this governing body would not get to see

:14:10. > :14:15.what people like you and me are doing before we would do it, in

:14:16. > :14:18.other words they don't get some kind of veto.

:14:19. > :14:25.And how about the BBC's finances, it is currently being audited by Ernst

:14:26. > :14:32.and Young, but it will be audited next by the Government.

:14:33. > :14:37.It will continue to be funded in that special way, a national tax, so

:14:38. > :14:42.the BBC will continue to be one of the best funded broadcasters in the

:14:43. > :14:48.world. But yes, the issue of how it spends its money is going to be

:14:49. > :14:51.overseen by the national -- audit office, and I guess the fact you are

:14:52. > :14:54.being overseen by a bit of the Government when it comes to spending

:14:55. > :15:02.your money is something the BBC would have preferred not to have. Is

:15:03. > :15:06.it a killer blow to the BBC's independence Square Spagnolo, but it

:15:07. > :15:12.would prefer not to have it. Full details on the Government's

:15:13. > :15:18.White Paper can be found on our website. In a few minutes' time,

:15:19. > :15:30.this report from a pop concert in North Korea.

:15:31. > :15:36.The Bank of England has issued its strongest warning yet about the

:15:37. > :15:40.possible risks of leaving the European Union. Its governor said a

:15:41. > :15:44.vote to leave could trigger a recession, but leave campaigners

:15:45. > :15:49.have accused him of bias, with one of them, a former Chancellor, saying

:15:50. > :15:54.he had gone over the top. A vote to leave could have material

:15:55. > :16:00.economic effects on the exchange rate, on demand and on the economy's

:16:01. > :16:03.supply potential. This combination of influences on demand, supply and

:16:04. > :16:09.the exchange rate could lead to a materially lower part for growth and

:16:10. > :16:15.a notably higher path for inflation. The governor to be careful with what

:16:16. > :16:21.he says. There is a danger he could create a self-fulfilling crisis,

:16:22. > :16:25.warning of a crisis that need be and if there were any such crisis I

:16:26. > :16:36.think the governor would carry a very heavy responsibility.

:16:37. > :16:47.Our lead story is that Brazil's President's been suspended;

:16:48. > :16:52.impeachment proceedings will begin. She has described the whole matter

:16:53. > :16:57.as a coup. A US missile defence system in

:16:58. > :17:02.Romania's been put into operation after the ceremony, the whole thing

:17:03. > :17:08.cost $800 million. Nato and the US say it is to defend against threats

:17:09. > :17:12.from the Middle East. Russia sees it as an attempt to neuter its arsenal.

:17:13. > :17:14.Several stolen paintings worth more than $18 million have

:17:15. > :17:17.Border guards reportedly discovered them wrapped

:17:18. > :17:19.in plastic bags and hidden near the border with Moldova.

:17:20. > :17:21.They were stolen from an Italian museum in 2015.

:17:22. > :17:29.A car has fallen into a large sinkhole which opened up

:17:30. > :17:33.It was discovered by police on Thursday morning.

:17:34. > :17:52.The French Government survived a vote of no-confidence, forced by

:17:53. > :17:55.opponents new Labour reforms. These reforms are controversial, but so is

:17:56. > :17:59.the fact that the president pushed them through without parliamentary

:18:00. > :18:04.approval. What's happening here is what the

:18:05. > :18:08.Government did last year, which is to force through reforms that it

:18:09. > :18:13.believes are absolutely essential to improve the French economy and not

:18:14. > :18:17.least to allow President Hollande to stand again for election next year,

:18:18. > :18:20.but in doing so they have had to force it through without

:18:21. > :18:24.parliamentary approval and against the opposition of many of the choral

:18:25. > :18:30.groups of Socialist party supporters in France. So it is quite a tough

:18:31. > :18:36.call, and even though they won the no-confidence vote today, there was

:18:37. > :18:41.a move yesterday from some of the own backbench MPs, socialist

:18:42. > :18:45.backbench MPs, to bring a second vote of all -- no confidence. They

:18:46. > :18:49.narrowly failed to do that, but it was still pretty embarrassing, so

:18:50. > :18:54.you can see that the headline is they want, but they still have an

:18:55. > :19:04.awful lot of competition to contend with. -- the headline is they

:19:05. > :19:10.goal-macro. US oil prices have hit a six-month high today. The IEA is the

:19:11. > :19:15.International energy agency, supply is closely linked to price levels.

:19:16. > :19:21.One of the reasons oil prices have gone down so much is that order oil

:19:22. > :19:25.producers cannot agree on reducing supply, but the IEA is predicting

:19:26. > :19:33.solid growth in prices in 2016. India will be responsible for nearly

:19:34. > :19:39.a third of that global increase. Nissan is buying 34% of its rival

:19:40. > :19:46.Mitsubishi motors, this will cost them over $2 billion. Here is its

:19:47. > :19:53.CEO. At Nissan, we are determined to

:19:54. > :20:03.preserve and nurture the Mitsubishi motors brand. And we will help this

:20:04. > :20:10.company address the challenges it faces, particularly in restoring

:20:11. > :20:17.consumer trust in its fuel economy performance. The next report is from

:20:18. > :20:28.Christian Fraser, who is on a search and rescue boat in the middle of the

:20:29. > :20:32.Mediterranean. In the last 12 months, much of our coverage has

:20:33. > :20:35.focused on how more and more people have chosen to come through Turkey

:20:36. > :20:36.and Greece to travel further into Europe.

:20:37. > :20:39.But now the particular number of people making that

:20:40. > :20:47.But at the same time, the number of people

:20:48. > :21:02.It is not often that we broadcast from a ship, particularly not in

:21:03. > :21:07.wind like this. It is gusting six, seven, a big swell and the

:21:08. > :21:14.Mediterranean, and even though I am on the leeward side, I am attached

:21:15. > :21:18.and so is our cameraman. But this underlines why it is a ridiculous

:21:19. > :21:22.idea to leave the Libyan coast in a rubber boat, but that is what

:21:23. > :21:27.hundreds of people are doing every week, in ways such as this, and they

:21:28. > :21:32.are dying in big numbers, 1000 have drowned so far this year. Record

:21:33. > :21:36.numbers left in the first three months this year according to the

:21:37. > :21:41.Italian Government, and this week the numbers are picking up again.

:21:42. > :21:46.You might be able to see these poor souls, there are 233 of them on the

:21:47. > :21:53.stern, they have blankets and clothes distributed by charities,

:21:54. > :21:57.and they are going to be transferred to Sicily where they will be

:21:58. > :22:03.processed food, fingerprinted and obviously many of them will be

:22:04. > :22:09.claiming asylum. -- processed, fingerprinted. But I have to say a

:22:10. > :22:13.lot of these migrants are from west Africa, largely economic migrants.

:22:14. > :22:18.It has surprised me, the stories we have heard from Libya. People ask

:22:19. > :22:24.all the time why would people risk everything on a rickety old boat at

:22:25. > :22:28.sea? Many of them tell us because Libya is such a racist country for

:22:29. > :22:32.black Africans, they are put in detention centres, there is

:22:33. > :22:40.kidnapped, murder, rape, and it seems to me the experience that many

:22:41. > :22:43.of these people have had is that it is rational to get on one of these

:22:44. > :22:47.boats rather than remain in Libya. Kristian has been sharing pictures

:22:48. > :22:52.of his time on Twitter, if you want more details.

:22:53. > :22:56.The BBC has had several journalists in North Korea recently to cover

:22:57. > :23:00.John Sudworth was one of them - and he was invited to a concert.

:23:01. > :23:11.We've been given these tickets, and we have been brought to a concert

:23:12. > :23:16.hall. For the past week or so North Korea has been showcasing itself to

:23:17. > :23:18.the outside world. We have had the politics, the parades, now it is

:23:19. > :23:40.time for the pop music. This band is the supreme leader's

:23:41. > :23:53.personal pop project. He reportedly hand-picks the members himself. In

:23:54. > :24:01.fact, North Korea is so convinced of the strategic need for official girl

:24:02. > :24:07.bands, but there are two of them. To mark the end of the workers' party

:24:08. > :24:11.Congress, the delegates are treated to a double act. Both bands,

:24:12. > :24:20.performing together in a heady mix of catchy tunes and potent

:24:21. > :24:27.propaganda. Do you speak English? As always, there are fans lurking

:24:28. > :24:37.backstage. Not very rock star. South Korea of

:24:38. > :24:50.course has K-Pop. A vast outpouring of cultural creativity. In a country

:24:51. > :24:55.where all South Korea's music is banned as a capitalist acts bought,

:24:56. > :25:00.this is North Korea's and serve. It is, if you like, the sound of

:25:01. > :25:10.socialism with synthesisers. Its global success is still, you would

:25:11. > :25:14.have to say, a work in progress. We can access all the feeds coming into

:25:15. > :25:22.the BBC newsroom, I want to pull up a couple. We are waiting for a
