:00:48. > :01:08.Matt McGrath's going to talk us through that.
:01:09. > :01:16.I want to bring you up-to-date with a story that's been
:01:17. > :01:22.ongoing for the last few hours.
:01:23. > :01:24.AP say two people were confirmed dead on Wednesday following
:01:25. > :01:26.a shooting at the University of California's Los Angeles
:01:27. > :01:33.The campus is up here in the north of the city.
:01:34. > :01:37.But I can take you right in and this is the area we are talking about,
:01:38. > :01:47.Part of what we like here on the Outside Source is telling
:01:48. > :02:00.as I came off air in the last edition of our programme,
:02:01. > :02:03.it has been moving fast, but we have a conclusion.
:02:04. > :02:07.Peter Bowes is in Los Angeles and been following it closer to me.
:02:08. > :02:13.Tell us about what developed over the last few hours. This developed
:02:14. > :02:17.over the last three hours. The alarm was raised shortly after 10am local
:02:18. > :02:22.time. The police here received multiple calls from people who said
:02:23. > :02:26.that there had been a shooting at the campus. There was initially a
:02:27. > :02:30.lot of confusion, there was a huge response by the emergency services,
:02:31. > :02:42.the police, and Mrs, heading to the university campus. It later
:02:43. > :02:45.transpired from the head of police is that there had been a
:02:46. > :02:51.murder-suicide, that two people had died and that one of those people
:02:52. > :02:54.was the shooter. We don't know of any possible relationship between
:02:55. > :02:58.these two people. We know that they were two men who died and that the
:02:59. > :03:03.nature of what happened is currently being investigated. As I said, it
:03:04. > :03:08.caused a tremendous amount of confusion and alarm in what is, for
:03:09. > :03:15.many students, their final week of studies. Some of them preparing for
:03:16. > :03:18.exams over the next few days. They had to be evacuated. Some of them
:03:19. > :03:23.hid inside buildings, ducking under desks, locking doors of the
:03:24. > :03:26.classrooms they were in, to try and stay safe but others were escorted
:03:27. > :03:33.away by some very heavily armed police officers. There was a tweet
:03:34. > :03:41.coming in from the LA Times, saying that the murder-suicide was the 186
:03:42. > :03:46.US school shooting since Newtown, Connecticut, in 2012. Even the
:03:47. > :03:51.scenes that you are describing, we have become accustomed to seeing
:03:52. > :03:59.them over and over. Put a little bit in context for us. -- put it. And
:04:00. > :04:03.having difficulty hearing what you are saying but I can confirm that in
:04:04. > :04:09.the last hour, the all clear has been given. This has happened very
:04:10. > :04:14.quickly but the police chief and officers investigating this are
:04:15. > :04:17.convinced that this was a murder-suicide and that there are no
:04:18. > :04:22.other people involved and that the campus has been declared safe. The
:04:23. > :04:26.university has cancelled classes for the rest of the day but it seems
:04:27. > :04:29.that from this point, the investigation will focus on those
:04:30. > :04:33.two people to try and find out the precise details and if there is an
:04:34. > :04:38.emotive for what happened. Thank you for joining us. Sorry we had a bit
:04:39. > :04:44.of trouble with you hearing me. There are details on this story and
:04:45. > :04:47.about some of the previous school shootings that there have been
:04:48. > :04:49.across the United States on the website.
:04:50. > :04:56.Let's move onto Egypt because a French ship has detected
:04:57. > :04:58.signals from a flight recorder from the EgyptAir plane,
:04:59. > :04:59.which crashed last month in the Mediterranean.
:05:00. > :05:05.Here's Orla Guerin, with what this development means.
:05:06. > :05:10.This is potentially a very significant development. It's the
:05:11. > :05:15.first time that a signal has been picked up from one of the black
:05:16. > :05:20.boxes from EgyptAir flight 804 which crashed about two weeks ago, almost,
:05:21. > :05:25.with the loss of all 66 passengers and crew on board. The signal was
:05:26. > :05:30.detected by specialist equipment on board a French naval vessel, the
:05:31. > :05:34.Laplace. An acoustic microphone was lowered into the sea bed.
:05:35. > :05:42.Interesting to point out that the search only began yesterday, and in
:05:43. > :05:45.less than 24 hours the equipment detected a signal which according to
:05:46. > :05:49.French officials is coming from one of the black boxes, but we don't
:05:50. > :05:54.know which one. They are searching for the flight data recorder and the
:05:55. > :05:57.cockpit voice recorder. An official with the French aviation safety
:05:58. > :06:01.agency has said that this is a first step and the next step is to try and
:06:02. > :06:09.pinpoint the exact location of the black boxes and to try and retrieve
:06:10. > :06:13.them from the ocean floor intact. That will be a very tricky
:06:14. > :06:16.operation, another vessel is on the way which will bring robotic
:06:17. > :06:21.equipment that can operate at a depth of 3000 metres below sea
:06:22. > :06:25.level. So it may bring some answers, speculation about what may have been
:06:26. > :06:29.the cause of the crash. Can you put in context for us, so many
:06:30. > :06:36.passengers were Egyptian, how are the Egyptian authorities and people
:06:37. > :06:40.reacting? First of all, for the country it has been a great tragedy,
:06:41. > :06:45.a real sense of loss across the country. Keenly felt by families in
:06:46. > :06:49.many different areas. There have been poignant stories about the
:06:50. > :06:52.Egyptians on the plane at why they were taking the flight. One woman
:06:53. > :06:57.who had been receiving cancer treatment in Paris, who had beaten
:06:58. > :07:01.the disease, and was on her way home with her husband, to her three small
:07:02. > :07:06.children waiting at the airport. She and her husband were among the
:07:07. > :07:10.victims. Initially in the early stages after the crash, the
:07:11. > :07:14.authorities come at the aviation Minister in particular, said that a
:07:15. > :07:18.terrorist attack was more likely than a technical failure. Since
:07:19. > :07:23.then, officials have appeared to back away from that. They are saying
:07:24. > :07:27.that all theories are still being investigated, all possibilities
:07:28. > :07:30.being considered. All we know at this point is that there are
:07:31. > :07:32.indications of smoke and a possible fire on board. We don't know what
:07:33. > :07:37.started that and experts are stressing that while the black boxes
:07:38. > :07:42.should provide some answers, they may help to move things out, for
:07:43. > :07:45.example a bomb or an attempt to storm the cockpit, they may not
:07:46. > :07:46.provide all of the answers that authorities need. Thank you for
:07:47. > :07:48.joining us. Let's bring you the latest
:07:49. > :07:54.on efforts to reclaim the Iraqi city of Falluja from so-called
:07:55. > :07:56.Islamic State. Iraqi forces, backed by Shia
:07:57. > :07:59.militias, are still yet to entirely encircle the city,
:08:00. > :08:01.after their progress "There are reports from people
:08:02. > :08:12.who left in recent days that some are being required to move
:08:13. > :08:17.with ISIL within Falluja." The implication is that civilians
:08:18. > :08:20.are being used human shields. This is a campaign
:08:21. > :08:23.months in the planning. Frank Gardner has been looking
:08:24. > :08:40.at what's at stake in The risk is that in retaking
:08:41. > :08:43.Falluja, it is a pyrrhic victory and they flatten the City. The residents
:08:44. > :08:48.will come back to a shattered wasteland and they will blame the
:08:49. > :08:53.government what happened. The population that is there today is a
:08:54. > :08:57.sexually take captive population and they have seen their City being
:08:58. > :09:05.slowly level -- is essentially a captive population. Now, the lucky
:09:06. > :09:08.ones got out, they've seen the men conscripted into joining Islamic
:09:09. > :09:12.State against their will, women are not allowed to move around and
:09:13. > :09:19.travel. Some of them are on the verge of starvation.
:09:20. > :09:27.The Iraqi government has been relatively careful in how it retakes
:09:28. > :09:34.Falluja. It isn't sending in the Shia militia, who have a track
:09:35. > :09:39.record of carrying out revenge attacks against Sunni households,
:09:40. > :09:44.essentially ethnic cleansing. Islamic State have played on this,
:09:45. > :09:48.by saying to the Sunni residents, we are your natural allies, stick with
:09:49. > :09:55.us, we are your defenders against the Shia backed by Iran. The obvious
:09:56. > :10:00.question is, why use Shia militia at all? The answer is that the Iraqi
:10:01. > :10:05.army is not strong enough. The big challenge for the Iraqi government
:10:06. > :10:09.is to convince the Sunni population that they have a place in modern
:10:10. > :10:13.Iraq. Already there are people saying that Iraq is doomed, that it
:10:14. > :10:15.will fragment. It doesn't have to be that way but they have to make
:10:16. > :10:18.Falluja work. Japanese company Mitsubishi
:10:19. > :10:21.Materials has agreed a deal with giving compensation to workers
:10:22. > :10:24.who were used as forced About 40,000 Chinese were brought
:10:25. > :10:30.to Japan in the early 1940s to make Japanese historian Janet Hunter
:10:31. > :10:45.explained some of the The conditions were extremely bad,
:10:46. > :10:52.particularly towards the latter stages of the war, during which
:10:53. > :10:58.there were a cute feud sorted is -- there were food shortages, bombings
:10:59. > :11:05.and things of that kind because many of the factories were located in
:11:06. > :11:09.areas of industrial production. Malnutrition was very significant in
:11:10. > :11:15.and inevitably, the more Japanese who lost out, many of them were
:11:16. > :11:21.working under difficult conditions. It is clear that Mitsubishi was not
:11:22. > :11:26.the only company to make use of this kind of forced Labour and I would
:11:27. > :11:32.imagine that there are rather large companies which are looking with a
:11:33. > :11:35.great deal of caution and working out what it may mean for them.
:11:36. > :11:39.The settlement made to Chinese groups covers some 3,700 victims
:11:40. > :11:44.who will receive 10,000 yuan, about $15,000 each, and an apology.
:11:45. > :11:46.Zhuang Chen from the Chinese service explained why those numbers aren't
:11:47. > :12:00.Many of them have been deceased, there aren't that many still
:12:01. > :12:05.surviving today. The Chinese think it is a rare victory for them. The
:12:06. > :12:09.case has been wrangling for over 20 years and it has become a thorny
:12:10. > :12:14.issue not only between the victims and the company but also China and
:12:15. > :12:17.Japan because of the war history. The Chinese government are really
:12:18. > :12:23.asking, pushing the Japanese government to apologise. So far they
:12:24. > :12:29.haven't, but this is a rare case and this isn't the first time. In 2000
:12:30. > :12:34.and 2009, two Japanese construction companies paid a large sum of money
:12:35. > :12:39.for the Chinese forced labourers who worked in Japan, in brutal
:12:40. > :12:44.conditions in the final years of World War II. We saw some historical
:12:45. > :12:52.pictures. $15,000 that not seam a lot of money to me when I read the
:12:53. > :12:55.story. No, the Chinese were asking for ten times that amount of money
:12:56. > :13:00.but they couldn't agree which is why they have settled now for this sum
:13:01. > :13:13.of money because the survivors won't have the final result, the apology,
:13:14. > :13:18.so -- they at least got the result from the company, the apology. How
:13:19. > :13:25.many other cases are still questionable because companies and
:13:26. > :13:30.the Japanese government are not willing to come forward and say
:13:31. > :13:57.that. There will not be many cases to come forward.
:13:58. > :14:04.Six men were convicted but their convictions were quashed.
:14:05. > :14:07.Julie Hambleton, whose sister, Maxine, died, says the killers,
:14:08. > :14:10.thought to be IRA members, must face justice.
:14:11. > :14:15.They ran away like cowards and they have been hiding in full daylight
:14:16. > :14:20.amongst their fellow citizens in Ireland, apparently, with their
:14:21. > :14:24.freedom, while our loved ones are well dead and buried. We are not
:14:25. > :14:28.going to allow them to die in vain, we are going to fight to find the
:14:29. > :14:34.truth and bring some level of Justice and accountability to light.
:14:35. > :14:39.What sort of society are we leading for future generations, when we
:14:40. > :14:45.allow mass murderers to walk free, to come to our fantastic City, kill
:14:46. > :14:49.with impunity, without any fear of retribution. Does that mean we are
:14:50. > :14:50.giving a green light to future terrorist organisations to do the
:14:51. > :14:55.same? This is Outside Source live
:14:56. > :15:04.from the BBC newsroom. How top story. Two men have been
:15:05. > :15:11.shot dead by a gunman who is still thought to be at large on the campus
:15:12. > :15:13.of UCLA in Los Angeles. Let's look at some stories being covered.
:15:14. > :15:15.BBC Chinese is reporting on comments by Philippine

:16:31. > :16:32.Well, Matt McGrath is our Enivronment Correspondent -
:16:33. > :16:40.here's what he thinks about this zero-carbon quest.
:16:41. > :16:51.They are looking at seeing if they can actually decarbonise the world's
:16:52. > :16:56.markets. It is difficult to do that with the established networks that
:16:57. > :17:00.we have forced up it is looking at a mixture of energy going forward,
:17:01. > :17:05.that is what most countries seem to be in for. I mentioned China and the
:17:06. > :17:12.United States, tell us how, why they are deciding to make such a push on
:17:13. > :17:16.renewables? China and America are interesting in being investors. It
:17:17. > :17:21.is a mixed picture. The European Union has cut back on support for
:17:22. > :17:25.renewables, but Brazil and India, emerging economies have gone forward
:17:26. > :17:28.quite substantially, down to countries like Bangladesh, who are
:17:29. > :17:33.the biggest solar home market in the world. It is a best picture and what
:17:34. > :17:37.is driving it is the cheapness of these technologies, solar and wind
:17:38. > :17:41.-- mixed picture. And the speed with which they can be deployed. People
:17:42. > :17:46.are saying, should we build a coal-fired power station which may
:17:47. > :17:50.take ten years, or should we invest in solar and get the same number of
:17:51. > :17:54.people within a year? They seem to be going with that argument. I
:17:55. > :18:00.mentioned the hydropower, where do you think renewables will go, will
:18:01. > :18:04.it be so lucky, wind, hydro? The interesting thing is the global
:18:05. > :18:08.market, solar has done well, over half of the investment is in that
:18:09. > :18:11.because it is a global market and countries all over the world are
:18:12. > :18:18.buying it. Manufacturers can sell them at low prices. Wave
:18:19. > :18:20.technologies haven't really token off -- taken off. Sola has the
:18:21. > :18:24.global capacity. Brazil's economy contracted 5.4%
:18:25. > :18:26.in the first quarter The BBC's Daniel Gallas

:18:44. > :18:48.figure of 5.4, and also 0.3 compared to the final of 2015. When people
:18:49. > :18:54.look at these figures, what does it mean for the average Brazilian?
:18:55. > :18:58.Well, for the average Brazilian, what they are looking at mostly is
:18:59. > :19:05.inflation and unemployment. Unemployment has risen quite sharply
:19:06. > :19:11.in the past year, 40% more people unemployed than a year ago. The 11
:19:12. > :19:16.million people are currently without a job and also inflation, Brazil has
:19:17. > :19:20.recently had double-digit inflation over the period of a year, meaning
:19:21. > :19:26.that people are losing their jobs, but the money they are able to make
:19:27. > :19:29.if they keep their jobs isn't as valuable as it was before. That's
:19:30. > :19:34.what this recession means for most Brazilians. What we have been
:19:35. > :19:39.looking at on the programme previously was the suspension of
:19:40. > :19:46.President Dilma Rousseff. What does this mean for the acting president
:19:47. > :19:49.in the coming months? Well, he is trying to push some economic reforms
:19:50. > :19:56.and get Brazil going again but his answer to the problem is quite a
:19:57. > :19:58.long-term solution. He would like to approve many laws in Congress that
:19:59. > :20:04.would cut down on government spending, to keep inflation down and
:20:05. > :20:07.get consumers buying again and investors putting their money in
:20:08. > :20:14.Brazil. It's a very long-term project. This is a man who may just
:20:15. > :20:20.be in power for six months, if President Rousseff is absolved in
:20:21. > :20:24.her trial or just two and a half years if she doesn't come back and
:20:25. > :20:27.he stays in power. He has a short time span and many uncertainties
:20:28. > :20:34.about what happens to him. Very ambitious plans. Thank you for
:20:35. > :20:36.joining us. Reversal of fortune, couple of the headlines I saw in
:20:37. > :20:40.reaction to that story. From one country trying to mitigate
:20:41. > :20:42.the effects of a recession, to another trying to resist
:20:43. > :20:49.falling into one. Earlier today the Japanese Prime

:22:21. > :22:29.in China who's switched which is seeing
:22:30. > :22:37.unprecedented demand. Is it for drinking or investing?
:22:38. > :22:43.That's the question for Ted Hodgkinson, a lifelong lover of fine
:22:44. > :22:47.wine. About ten years ago I saw the prices of wine going up and I
:22:48. > :22:50.thought I needed to invest, primarily for consumption and to
:22:51. > :22:55.protect my position but also looking at the long-term gains as an
:22:56. > :23:00.investor. At his peak he had 1000 bottles of Australian and French
:23:01. > :23:03.wines in his portfolio. In 2011, the wine investment market slumped
:23:04. > :23:08.because of an anti-corruption campaign in China. Ted still drinks
:23:09. > :23:16.wine but he no longer buys it for an investment. Instead, he has bet
:23:17. > :23:20.$250,000 on another tipple, single malt whiskey. It is a market even
:23:21. > :23:26.smaller than the one for investment grade wine but over the last five
:23:27. > :23:32.years, benchmark fine wine prices have fallen by one third. At the
:23:33. > :23:36.same time, rare whiskey prices have more than doubled. It is a niche
:23:37. > :23:48.sector but with potential for big gains and losses.
:23:49. > :23:51.It seems as though we're doing a story every day
:23:52. > :23:56.But they are all different and all intriguing,
