:00:00. > :00:00.you want to join us tonight on Facebook, do and send us your

:00:00. > :00:16.questions. Back to you in London. This is Outside Source live

:00:17. > :00:18.from the BBC Newsroom. Welcome to viewers

:00:19. > :00:23.on the BBC News Channel. Donald Trump has said he's secured

:00:24. > :00:26.enough votes to become And it took three days,

:00:27. > :00:33.but a deal has been agreed Let's have a look at some of these

:00:34. > :00:48.stories from the BBC World Service. The mastermind of the 2010 bomb

:00:49. > :00:50.attacks in Kampala in Uganda has 74 people were killed when bombs

:00:51. > :01:12.were detonated during screenings Police in Bolivia used water cannons

:01:13. > :01:14.after a road test about disabled people. Police say people attacked

:01:15. > :01:16.them with knives. RyanAir has been accused of breaking

:01:17. > :01:19.electoral law in the UK by spending too much money when campaigning

:01:20. > :01:22.for Britain to stay in the EU. Anyone spending more than ?10,000 -

:01:23. > :01:24.or about $15,000 - should register with

:01:25. > :01:26.the Electoral Commission. That's one of the most read stories

:01:27. > :01:31.on the BBC News app. If you're on social media,

:01:32. > :01:34.you'll almost certainly have been on the receiving end of one type

:01:35. > :01:37.of abuse of another. A study released today in the UK has

:01:38. > :01:47.focused on misogyny. It shows that during three weeks

:01:48. > :01:50.in May, 200,000 aggressive tweets using the words "slut"

:01:51. > :01:53.and "whore" were sent worldwide. 80,000 different

:01:54. > :01:59.people received them. More than half of the people sending

:02:00. > :02:07.those tweets were women. Also today, a new campaign called

:02:08. > :02:11.Reclaim the Internet has launched. It's got prominent UK

:02:12. > :02:26.politicians behind it - The idea of the campaign is to take

:02:27. > :02:28.on the type of abuse I have just been detailing.

:02:29. > :02:34.Jane Wakefield talked me through it.

:02:35. > :02:40.Perhaps it is part of the problem that we are now accepting that abuse

:02:41. > :02:46.is there. Part of this campaign was to highlight the fact, the numbers,

:02:47. > :02:49.that half of these people even being misogynistic women themselves, in

:02:50. > :02:55.the hope that maybe we can start thinking, what can we do about it?

:02:56. > :03:00.That is what they are trying to do, UK MPs are trying to start a

:03:01. > :03:05.conversation about some of the solutions we might find. They are

:03:06. > :03:13.not offering any solutions at this stage? No, they are not. There are

:03:14. > :03:17.people who are nasty off-line and online it is amplified. You can be

:03:18. > :03:21.anonymous. You can pick your target and the chances are you will never

:03:22. > :03:25.have to confront them about it. We are seeing more people being

:03:26. > :03:27.arrested for really nasty criminal tweets.

:03:28. > :03:30.Over the last year on Outside Source we've reported a lot

:03:31. > :03:32.on the low price of oil - the ramifications of

:03:33. > :03:40.Yesterday we told you about ongoing protests in Venezuela.

:03:41. > :03:42.Constant food shortages and blackouts are being blamed

:03:43. > :03:55.Some of those pressures are tied to the fact that Venezuela is one of

:03:56. > :03:57.the biggest oil producers in the world. And also we talked about

:03:58. > :03:59.Shell's situation. Shell has announced more than 10,000

:04:00. > :04:02.job cuts in the last two years, And many of you will

:04:03. > :04:05.have noticed this. The price of petrol has been falling

:04:06. > :04:08.year on year. That's driven by

:04:09. > :04:11.the low cost of oil. Now though, things

:04:12. > :04:14.might be changing. Today, the price of oil has gone

:04:15. > :04:17.above $50 a barrel for Makes for a good headline,

:04:18. > :04:24.that's for sure. But I wanted to understand if this

:04:25. > :04:37.really is significant. I suppose it is a good moment to

:04:38. > :04:41.take stock of how much the oil price has rebounded from the very, very

:04:42. > :04:48.low levels, certainly by the standards of the last decade. Back

:04:49. > :04:51.in January it was $27 a barrel. That was really hurting a lot of oil

:04:52. > :04:55.producing countries. Now we are getting on for a level which is

:04:56. > :05:01.twice that. Still no compare to where we were two years ago. But

:05:02. > :05:06.nonetheless, a very significant bounce back which is certainly

:05:07. > :05:10.easing the more extreme end of the pain that some of those oil

:05:11. > :05:16.producers were feeling. What is driving the bounceback? It has

:05:17. > :05:24.partly been about interruptions to supply. A lot of American shale oil

:05:25. > :05:29.producers are cutting back. We have seen disruptions due to militant

:05:30. > :05:34.attacks in Nigeria, due to attacks on oil installations. And then there

:05:35. > :05:40.were those fires in Canada. That has made a big impact on Canada's oil

:05:41. > :05:46.production. The final push which took us to the $50 threshold was

:05:47. > :05:50.news from the United States about stocks of crude oil held by refiners

:05:51. > :05:55.and other suppliers. All that suggested there might be a little

:05:56. > :06:00.bit more demand for crude oil and that helped to just push it over

:06:01. > :06:05.that threshold. Do these rising prices strengthen the hand of

:06:06. > :06:13.countries like Saudi Arabia who have been against voluntarily reducing

:06:14. > :06:17.production? That has been a meeting of Opec in the end and it will be a

:06:18. > :06:22.little easier for the Saudi Arabians to say we don't need to take any

:06:23. > :06:26.dramatic action now. Having said that, I think there is no question

:06:27. > :06:30.that Saudi Arabia's own government finances would be a lot healthier

:06:31. > :06:35.with a substantially higher oil price without a doubt, but at the

:06:36. > :06:40.same time, they don't want to do any favours for Iran which has refused

:06:41. > :06:46.to take cuts in production and they don't want to do any favours to

:06:47. > :06:49.American shale produces either. This is a story which had me raising my

:06:50. > :06:52.eyebrows earlier. Snapchat has raised

:06:53. > :06:53.$1.81 billion in funding. This is a messaging app

:06:54. > :06:56.which is surging in popularity - but this is still a huge

:06:57. > :07:11.amount of money. Let's bring in Samira Hussain from

:07:12. > :07:21.New York. I was surprised because I had been reading it was struggling.

:07:22. > :07:25.They still have a lot of investor interest. Everyone really wants to

:07:26. > :07:35.get a piece of it. It is for a few reasons. One, Snapchat started as a

:07:36. > :07:43.way for teenagers to waste time but it has turned into a zeitgeist media

:07:44. > :07:50.app. Snapchat said their users look at about 10 billion videos in that

:07:51. > :07:54.app. That is a lot of eyeballs. There is a potential there. That is

:07:55. > :07:59.why so many investors are pouring in this money into Snapchat. They want

:08:00. > :08:04.a piece of the action before they potentially become a publicly traded

:08:05. > :08:11.country. What is the action? What will Snapchat do with $2 billion?

:08:12. > :08:16.One can only guess that they will try to find ways to monetise it,

:08:17. > :08:22.especially going ahead as they are perhaps going to become a publicly

:08:23. > :08:27.traded company. And they are probably going to want to brush up

:08:28. > :08:32.on some of their features. I think the face swap has been one of the

:08:33. > :08:37.most popular ones. Good stuff. Thank you. Those of you who are into

:08:38. > :08:44.Snapchat, BBC News has its own Snapchat account which you are

:08:45. > :08:53.The minimum wage is becoming a political issue in the US.

:08:54. > :08:55.Here's Hillary Clinton - "We've got to do more

:08:56. > :08:59.We can start by raising the federal minimum wage."

:09:00. > :09:00.There have been protesters at McDonald's global

:09:01. > :09:03.They've been there for two days while a shareholders'

:09:04. > :09:19.The rain failed to dampen their spirits. Protest of camp outside

:09:20. > :09:25.McDonald's corporate headquarters, are after something not on the menu,

:09:26. > :09:31.a $15 minimum wage and the right to form a union. We're not going to

:09:32. > :09:38.stop. It is whatever it takes, rain, sleet and snow, we will stay out

:09:39. > :09:46.here until the Donald is give us $15 and 80 union. She makes $8 an hour.

:09:47. > :09:51.It will relieve some of the problems I have being a single mum and

:09:52. > :09:57.working in this job every day. When I open up my check for the week, it

:09:58. > :10:02.is like, what am I working for? Along the way, there have been

:10:03. > :10:09.successes. Some of the country's lowest wage employers have announced

:10:10. > :10:12.small pay increases. The boss of the fast food giant Steve Easterbrook

:10:13. > :10:18.recently told investors the move had not been bad for business. The

:10:19. > :10:23.improvements we made to our compensation and benefits package

:10:24. > :10:27.for our employees in US company restaurants have resulted in lower

:10:28. > :10:31.crude turnover and higher customer satisfaction. But a former CEO

:10:32. > :10:38.warned employees could be replaced by robots if the minimum wage went

:10:39. > :10:43.up, which some people have said higher wages will lead to job

:10:44. > :10:49.losses. The fight for the minimum wage began here right here in New

:10:50. > :10:53.York for years ago. It has led to increases in Seattle, San Francisco

:10:54. > :10:55.and Los Angeles. But the protests outside McDonald's is a reminder

:10:56. > :11:02.that this issue is far from settled. I wanted to bring up this -

:11:03. > :11:05.it's a study in the medical journal, The Lancet,

:11:06. > :11:07.- and it links the global financial crisis of 2008 with a sharp

:11:08. > :11:10.increase in the number The study makes the connection

:11:11. > :11:20.by looking at issues like rising unemployment and reduced

:11:21. > :11:30.health spending. That had a knock-on effect on

:11:31. > :11:31.people's health. Very interesting. You will find it online.
