Hello, I'm Christian Fraser, this is Outside Source. Reports tonight from | :00:12. | :00:18. | |
Istanbul, Paris and Madrid. We start in the US, Donald Trump has won | :00:19. | :00:22. | |
another key supporter, this time the US House Speaker, who says he will | :00:23. | :00:26. | |
vote for Donald Trump in this election. A week to European | :00:27. | :00:30. | |
football Championships, the host nation France is labouring under | :00:31. | :00:34. | |
strikes, and now some of the worst flooding in over a century. | :00:35. | :00:37. | |
President Tom and has declared a state of emergency in several parts | :00:38. | :00:42. | |
of the country. -- Hollande. The latest on the EU referendum | :00:43. | :00:45. | |
campaign, David Cameron has branded a question and answer session | :00:46. | :00:49. | |
tonight giving his reasons for staying in the EU, and a report from | :00:50. | :00:53. | |
Brazil, where there have been demonstrations across the country | :00:54. | :00:56. | |
calling for an end to violence against women. Don't forget, if you | :00:57. | :00:59. | |
any questions, this is the address. An important development tonight in | :01:00. | :01:22. | |
the race for the White House, the US House Speaker says that he will vote | :01:23. | :01:26. | |
for Donald Trump to be the next president, Paul Ryan, there he is, | :01:27. | :01:30. | |
Donald Trump is pointing at him. In the past he has criticised Donald | :01:31. | :01:33. | |
Trump, saying he was not ready to back the presidential candidate, but | :01:34. | :01:41. | |
now he has done a U-turn. This is the quote... What does | :01:42. | :01:47. | |
to the race for the White House? Let's find out. Laura Baker is in | :01:48. | :01:54. | |
Washington for us. Does it change the dynamics and the Republican | :01:55. | :02:01. | |
party? No doubt that this is a very good get, why? Paul Ryan is the | :02:02. | :02:07. | |
highest elected Republican in this country, he is the House Speaker. | :02:08. | :02:14. | |
What he says matters to Republicans as well. A few months ago, he | :02:15. | :02:19. | |
sounded lukewarm about the presumptive Republican nominee | :02:20. | :02:22. | |
Donald Trump, you said he was not ready to back him or endorse him. In | :02:23. | :02:27. | |
the last hour, we get a statement. A very well timed statement. It came | :02:28. | :02:35. | |
just as Hillary Clinton was making a really key speech on foreign policy. | :02:36. | :02:41. | |
A speech that was very outspoken towards the presumptive Republican | :02:42. | :02:44. | |
nominee. Paul Ryan's statement, to give you some flavour, says it is no | :02:45. | :02:50. | |
secret he and I, he being Donald Trump, have our differences, I won't | :02:51. | :02:53. | |
pretend otherwise, but when I feel the need to, I will speak my mind. | :02:54. | :02:58. | |
The reality is, on issues that make up our agenda, we have more common | :02:59. | :03:03. | |
ground than disagreement. Why is he saying this? What he's hoping to do | :03:04. | :03:09. | |
is say, look, if we have a presumptive nominee, we get behind, | :03:10. | :03:12. | |
and the main thing is we try to get him as the president say that he can | :03:13. | :03:17. | |
concentrate on his house policies. Stay there, Laura, as you mentioned | :03:18. | :03:22. | |
Hillary Clinton has outlined her foreign policy plans in California | :03:23. | :03:25. | |
and she could not resist in the speech at taking a swipe at Donald | :03:26. | :03:30. | |
Trump. Donald Trump's ideas are not just different... They are | :03:31. | :03:37. | |
dangerously incoherent. They aren't even really ideas, just a series of | :03:38. | :03:41. | |
bizarre romps, personal feuds and out right lies -- bizarre rants. | :03:42. | :03:48. | |
APPLAUSE He's not just unprepared, he's | :03:49. | :04:01. | |
temperamentally unfit to hold an office that would require knowledge, | :04:02. | :04:04. | |
stability and immense responsibility. Hillary Clinton with | :04:05. | :04:09. | |
strong words, has Donald Trump been cowed by that? Not a bit. Let's have | :04:10. | :04:16. | |
a look at his tweet... It seems he will call her "Crooked Hillary" to | :04:17. | :04:25. | |
rout the campaign. This is another one... | :04:26. | :04:34. | |
Pretty strong words from both candidates, Laura. Perhaps the shape | :04:35. | :04:40. | |
of things to come? But on foreign policy, Hillary Clinton is a former | :04:41. | :04:45. | |
Secretary of State, and I think that most commentators would say that | :04:46. | :04:49. | |
Donald Trump looked light on foreign policy? This was a key speech from | :04:50. | :04:53. | |
Hillary Clinton, and it was very well delivered. She made it clear | :04:54. | :04:57. | |
that, look, I'm the one with experience. I've been Secretary of | :04:58. | :05:01. | |
State and dealt with all of these world leaders. We are looking at my | :05:02. | :05:08. | |
perspective opponent? Or Donald Trump, a businessman? She made | :05:09. | :05:11. | |
reference to his reality TV show, his management of golf courses, and | :05:12. | :05:16. | |
that is where she said, look, I have experience and have dealt with world | :05:17. | :05:19. | |
leaders. He has to deal with the business world, masters have been | :05:20. | :05:27. | |
played at his golf courses, she tries to compare the two, | :05:28. | :05:32. | |
experienced politician against a businessman. | :05:33. | :05:34. | |
That is what we will hear over the next few months. | :05:35. | :05:38. | |
Plenty more to come, thank you. Let's turn from the US to Europe. | :05:39. | :05:44. | |
France has today declared a state of emergency in several parts of the | :05:45. | :05:48. | |
country, as intense and record-breaking rainfall continues | :05:49. | :05:52. | |
to battle Western Europe. There is major flooding in Germany, across | :05:53. | :05:55. | |
the two countries ten people have been killed so far, and forecasting | :05:56. | :05:59. | |
for the next few days shows that downpours will continue. | :06:00. | :06:03. | |
These are some pictures I pulled up for you from France today. You can | :06:04. | :06:06. | |
see that rivers have burst their banks. The law and the same | :06:07. | :06:12. | |
particularly high at the moment, thousands have been forced to | :06:13. | :06:13. | |
evacuate. We saw similar scenes in Britain, at | :06:14. | :06:18. | |
the end of last year in Cumbria. Let me show you on the map where we | :06:19. | :06:22. | |
are talking about. Just south of Paris, this town is the hardest hit | :06:23. | :06:30. | |
area. The town's mayor says that businesses have been destroyed, 3000 | :06:31. | :06:35. | |
people have been evacuated. Despite all of the danger, not everyone has | :06:36. | :06:38. | |
managed to escape. TRANSLATION: If the water does not | :06:39. | :06:42. | |
come up any higher, it would come in. Worst case scenario we will put | :06:43. | :06:45. | |
the horses in the living room, as long as they are here, we will stay. | :06:46. | :06:51. | |
Firemen came to get us, we were in our apartment for 48 hours without | :06:52. | :06:54. | |
electricity, that was the biggest bother. Those on the ground floor | :06:55. | :06:58. | |
were evacuated first. This tweet might give you some context. He's | :06:59. | :07:04. | |
taken some pictures. Let me bring them up in a bigger format. This is | :07:05. | :07:13. | |
a picture of the centre of Paris, a central island. Look at the trees | :07:14. | :07:18. | |
there, and here today. The water is almost up to the branches, and right | :07:19. | :07:25. | |
above the key here. Plenty of high water in Paris, it is very high in | :07:26. | :07:30. | |
the Seine. It is very close to the Louvre. Today we got this from the | :07:31. | :07:34. | |
Louvre authorities, they say that they are going to close, and they | :07:35. | :07:37. | |
did oppose this afternoon, they would close their doors early | :07:38. | :07:41. | |
tomorrow to allow the priceless artworks inside of the Louvre to be | :07:42. | :07:46. | |
removed, if the Seine keeps rising higher. As you been hearing from our | :07:47. | :07:52. | |
correspondents, it comes at a tense time, with the Euro champ in jets | :07:53. | :07:56. | |
around the corner, James Reynolds went out to take a look. | :07:57. | :08:00. | |
-- championships. France is dealing with a number of strikes, the Euro | :08:01. | :08:05. | |
competition is coming up in a few weeks' time, and now it faces this. | :08:06. | :08:09. | |
Heavy rains have hit the north, and the centre of the country. | :08:10. | :08:14. | |
This city, Paris, is on a yellow alert. There are eight counties on a | :08:15. | :08:22. | |
higher orange alert. Two areas are on red alert. | :08:23. | :08:25. | |
3000 people have been taken from their homes in those areas. 10,000 | :08:26. | :08:31. | |
households have been left without electricity and the primers to | :08:32. | :08:35. | |
Manuel Valls has described the situation in those areas as tense | :08:36. | :08:39. | |
and difficult -- Prime Minister. In the centre of Paris, you get a | :08:40. | :08:45. | |
sense of the speed and height of the river at the moment. Authorities | :08:46. | :08:49. | |
have stopped tourist boats from going up and down the Seine, | :08:50. | :08:52. | |
unsurprising as the boats would not be able to make it under the | :08:53. | :08:55. | |
bridges. Authorities here and police have | :08:56. | :08:58. | |
gone up and down the river making sure that all barges are docked on | :08:59. | :09:04. | |
either side of the Seine and secure. Paris wants to reassurance people | :09:05. | :09:08. | |
that this city is secure, it does have a plan in case the rains | :09:09. | :09:12. | |
continue and waters get worse. It will be able to siphon off | :09:13. | :09:16. | |
floodwater into reservoirs, but for the city is hit, Mac making sure | :09:17. | :09:24. | |
Paris stays secure. Keeping his feet dry, just about. | :09:25. | :09:32. | |
There have been rail strikes as well, but there was not complete | :09:33. | :09:36. | |
chaos, there was a subway strike in Paris that failed to cause much | :09:37. | :09:40. | |
impact really. Unrest and travel disruption in the last week, it has | :09:41. | :09:46. | |
caused politicians some concern given that the Euro 2016 football | :09:47. | :09:50. | |
championships are being hosted later this month. Millions of fans are | :09:51. | :09:54. | |
expected to attend matches, putting a lot of pressure on authorities. I | :09:55. | :09:59. | |
spoke to Hugh Schofield in Paris and asked if it could be as bad as the | :10:00. | :10:07. | |
great Paris flight 100 years ago in 1910. No, there is no need to panic. | :10:08. | :10:14. | |
-- flood. It is dramatic, what is happening, but the pictures show how | :10:15. | :10:17. | |
high the waters have got, they will get slightly higher tomorrow but | :10:18. | :10:20. | |
everyone seems to agree that they will reach a high point tomorrow of | :10:21. | :10:28. | |
six metres at most, that is high, but not nearly as high as the flood | :10:29. | :10:33. | |
back in 1910. It does not mean that there will be any dramatic bursting | :10:34. | :10:39. | |
of banks here in Paris. What is happening, obviously, is all of that | :10:40. | :10:42. | |
rain and flooding that we've seen in the last couple of days and have | :10:43. | :10:49. | |
been putting on from upstream, these rivers and tributaries of the Seine, | :10:50. | :10:58. | |
all of that water is coming into the Seine, there is this great big mass | :10:59. | :11:03. | |
of water which is moving down into Paris tomorrow. The alert really | :11:04. | :11:09. | |
is... The focus is on Paris now. But they've done all of their | :11:10. | :11:12. | |
calculations and they do not think it is going to be catastrophic. It | :11:13. | :11:17. | |
will be quite dramatic, and pictures tomorrow will show that, but they | :11:18. | :11:20. | |
seem to be fairly sure it is contained. After that it will move | :11:21. | :11:24. | |
downstream to the sea, and the weather forecast is actually fine. | :11:25. | :11:30. | |
It will bring a bit tomorrow but not enough to substantially change that | :11:31. | :11:33. | |
picture. Hugh Schofield reporting in Paris. Three weeks of campaigning to | :11:34. | :11:39. | |
go into all British voters have to decide whether to leave or remain in | :11:40. | :11:44. | |
the EU. The referendum will be held on June 23 and opinion polls show | :11:45. | :11:49. | |
that the British public are fairly evenly split. David Cameron made the | :11:50. | :11:52. | |
case for remaining in the EU tonight in a televised question and answer | :11:53. | :11:56. | |
session in front of a live audience. Let's hear a little bit of that. If | :11:57. | :12:01. | |
you want to get out of the single market, that is what the league | :12:02. | :12:04. | |
campaign want to do, you will fundamentally damage our economy. It | :12:05. | :12:08. | |
cannot be the right way of controlling immigration, it will | :12:09. | :12:11. | |
make the economy smaller, costing jobs and we will be poorer as a | :12:12. | :12:16. | |
country. -- Leave Campaign. It will affect people watching this show, | :12:17. | :12:20. | |
there will be fewer jobs, prices go up as the pound goes down. The cost | :12:21. | :12:24. | |
of the weekly shop goes up. Why did she say that in | :12:25. | :12:36. | |
your manifesto a year ago when you knew that you would have this | :12:37. | :12:40. | |
referendum and made the same claim? We've already had the Euro zone | :12:41. | :12:42. | |
prizes, you understand that there is an important matter of trust and | :12:43. | :12:44. | |
credibility and the promise was never achievable. I don't accept | :12:45. | :12:47. | |
that, in the manifesto I said clearly that Britain benefits from | :12:48. | :12:49. | |
being in a reformed European Union, we will conduct the reform, and we | :12:50. | :12:51. | |
will hold the referendum, and we do have to do things to control | :12:52. | :12:54. | |
immigration, like restricting in work welfare, but it would be | :12:55. | :12:57. | |
madness to do that by trashing the economy and pushing out of eight -- | :12:58. | :13:05. | |
pulling out of a single market. Alex Forsyth is there for us, what | :13:06. | :13:11. | |
do people make of that? How did he fare? David Cameron took a bit of a | :13:12. | :13:14. | |
grinning in the first half of the session, the first bit was a | :13:15. | :13:19. | |
one-to-one interview, -- grilling. He was challenged on his record in | :13:20. | :13:24. | |
government on immigration, and the pledge to bring it down to tens of | :13:25. | :13:29. | |
thousands, the whole strategy of his campaign was here, bringing it back | :13:30. | :13:32. | |
to the economy. The Remain Campaign think that they can win this | :13:33. | :13:36. | |
argument on that. The immediate reaction in the spin room from David | :13:37. | :13:39. | |
Cameron supporters was that he made the case well but it will affect | :13:40. | :13:44. | |
jobs, wages and households, that is the message they try to get out. The | :13:45. | :13:50. | |
other side, the Leave Campaign, say that he looked rattled, especially | :13:51. | :13:53. | |
on the question of immigration. They say it proves that the remain camp | :13:54. | :13:58. | |
argument does not stack up. I can see Iain Duncan Smith over your | :13:59. | :14:04. | |
shoulder, for international viewers, this is the bizarre thing about the | :14:05. | :14:08. | |
whole debate. Blue on blue, people within the Conservative Party | :14:09. | :14:13. | |
arguing against each other? Arguing against each other vehemently, you | :14:14. | :14:18. | |
have these two entrenched sides of the campaign, and Iain Duncan Smith | :14:19. | :14:21. | |
who was, until recently, in government with David Cameron as the | :14:22. | :14:25. | |
Work and Pensions Secretary. He is here getting pretty vocal about it | :14:26. | :14:28. | |
and on the other side you have conservatives in government making | :14:29. | :14:32. | |
their case and arguments. It's a heated debate, I think that you got | :14:33. | :14:36. | |
a flavour of it tonight, not just from David Cameron in a pretty | :14:37. | :14:40. | |
feisty exchange in that one-to-one interview, there was also a studio | :14:41. | :14:45. | |
audience asking questions. Again, he was challenged on key issues like | :14:46. | :14:48. | |
immigration can and pressure on public services in the UK, and time | :14:49. | :14:53. | |
and again, the audience kept saying that he was scaremongering. | :14:54. | :14:56. | |
It seems that that message from the Leave Campaign is getting through. | :14:57. | :15:01. | |
They think that David Cameron's I admit is based on fear. Thank you. | :15:02. | :15:07. | |
For the moment, thanks very much. Still to come here on Outside | :15:08. | :15:14. | |
Source, new rules in Europe for firms like Gruber and air B The. | :15:15. | :15:16. | |
We coming up. 11,000 jobs will be lost after the | :15:17. | :15:34. | |
administration of BHS failed to find a buyer for the retailer. All 163 | :15:35. | :15:39. | |
stores will hold closing dales in the coming weeks as it is wound | :15:40. | :15:45. | |
down. Retail consultant Mary Portis said BHS had failed to change with | :15:46. | :15:53. | |
the times. You have to reboot, the landscape is getting bigger than | :15:54. | :15:56. | |
bigger -- bigger and bigger. Some of the great online retailers are | :15:57. | :16:03. | |
coming out into bricks and mortar because online 800,000 retailers, | :16:04. | :16:08. | |
trying to fight for space, these guys are now redefining what bricks | :16:09. | :16:12. | |
and mortar is, so the retail landscape has changed under the top | :16:13. | :16:17. | |
there have to be visionaries giving something to consumers that sets | :16:18. | :16:21. | |
them apart. That might be value or the experience or being a leader in | :16:22. | :16:26. | |
a particular field. Sadly, BHS didn't fall into any of them. | :16:27. | :16:36. | |
This is Outside Source live from the BBC newsroom. Our top story, US | :16:37. | :16:43. | |
House Speaker Paul Ryan says he will vote for Donald Trump this election, | :16:44. | :16:48. | |
a key supporter for the presumptive Republican nominee. The language | :16:49. | :16:54. | |
services are reporting this, BBC Chinese have a story that Thai | :16:55. | :17:01. | |
authorities retained a monk trying to smuggle tiger skins from the | :17:02. | :17:05. | |
Buddhist temple. They found the bodies of 40 dead tiger cubs on | :17:06. | :17:11. | |
Monday. An enquiry has been ordered into this extraordinary public | :17:12. | :17:14. | |
shaming of teachers and administrators in Mexico. As many of | :17:15. | :17:20. | |
14 teachers were marched through the town after they defied a strike. | :17:21. | :17:25. | |
Among the most read online, Northern Ireland has announced its ban on gay | :17:26. | :17:30. | |
men donating blood will be lifted. The lifetime ban came into force | :17:31. | :17:34. | |
across the UK during the 1980s aids crisis, but was lifted in England, | :17:35. | :17:43. | |
Scotland and Wales in 2011. Let me bring you a report that came into | :17:44. | :17:47. | |
the newsroom a few hours ago. It is about the artist formerly known as | :17:48. | :17:51. | |
Prince. This is what it said, medical examiners say he died of | :17:52. | :18:02. | |
self administered opioid painkiller to Mac. Let's get more on that from | :18:03. | :18:10. | |
Washington. -- Fentayl. There has been this investigation into | :18:11. | :18:14. | |
prescription drugs the artist was using. As you said it started as | :18:15. | :18:18. | |
rumours and leaks from the medical examiner's office coming into the | :18:19. | :18:23. | |
Washington newsroom earlier in the day. We now have the official report | :18:24. | :18:27. | |
which was released in the last hour or so, I have it here, it is a | :18:28. | :18:34. | |
simple, one page report, very sad to read, but describes his personal | :18:35. | :18:37. | |
details, what he was wearing at the time of his death, and says, the | :18:38. | :18:44. | |
important bit, the manner of his death was accidental, and the cause | :18:45. | :18:49. | |
was Fentanyl toxicity. That is a prescription drug, a very powerful | :18:50. | :18:54. | |
opioid prescription drugs, but we now know it wasn't suicide or | :18:55. | :19:05. | |
homicide, it was accidental and because of an overdose of this | :19:06. | :19:07. | |
prescription drug. Some reports, and again, we cannot corroborate these, | :19:08. | :19:10. | |
maybe that he had a problem with addiction to these painkillers, and | :19:11. | :19:12. | |
with that in mind, you are bound to start thinking about the Michael | :19:13. | :19:16. | |
Jackson case, aren't you? Absolutely, and this might be it in | :19:17. | :19:20. | |
terms of the medical examiner's office but there is still a police | :19:21. | :19:24. | |
investigation ongoing, which will be looking at who prescribe these drugs | :19:25. | :19:29. | |
to Prince and whether it should have happened. As you say, friends of | :19:30. | :19:33. | |
Prince and those close to him are quoted in recent weeks saying he did | :19:34. | :19:41. | |
have a chronic addiction to painkillers that he had been taking | :19:42. | :19:44. | |
for a long time, not for recreational use but to cope with | :19:45. | :19:46. | |
the physical toll performing was taking on his body. We also heard | :19:47. | :19:49. | |
from others that he was trying to seek help with the addiction, but | :19:50. | :19:53. | |
that obviously came too late. Thanks for bringing us up-to-date with | :19:54. | :19:57. | |
that. More on that story to come no doubt. Let's turn to business. A new | :19:58. | :20:05. | |
report by Transparency International accuses the pharmaceutical industry | :20:06. | :20:07. | |
of not doing enough to tackle corruption. More investigations | :20:08. | :20:14. | |
involve drug companies than the banking sector and the vast amounts | :20:15. | :20:18. | |
of money are spent influencing doctors and in some cases persuading | :20:19. | :20:22. | |
them to prescribe more expensive drugs. An official told the BBC what | :20:23. | :20:30. | |
was happening to stop it. The industry and doctors ultimately | :20:31. | :20:34. | |
benefit patients, whether it is sharing best clinical practice, | :20:35. | :20:37. | |
sharing the future of clinical research, but it has to be and is | :20:38. | :20:42. | |
surrounded by a strong regulatory framework and also these | :20:43. | :20:45. | |
relationships must be open and transparent. That is why the member | :20:46. | :20:52. | |
companies at the end of this month will be publicly disclosing the | :20:53. | :20:55. | |
payments made to health professionals across Europe. This is | :20:56. | :21:00. | |
one example of industry 's commitment to transparency and | :21:01. | :21:05. | |
developing transparent relationships with people we work with. The | :21:06. | :21:08. | |
European Commission has unveiled a new set of guidelines for how | :21:09. | :21:13. | |
companies like Uber and AirB should be regulated. It urges | :21:14. | :21:16. | |
companies not to ban them except as a last resort but warns that the | :21:17. | :21:21. | |
sharing economy needs to pay its share of taxes and uphold employment | :21:22. | :21:25. | |
conditions. Andrew Walker has the details. What the Commission wants | :21:26. | :21:34. | |
to do is provide guidelines on how it views the way European law | :21:35. | :21:41. | |
applies to the sector, and two in Courage the governments of the | :21:42. | :21:45. | |
European Union member states to deal with this sector in a way that is | :21:46. | :21:49. | |
consistent with these guidelines. They are at this stage just | :21:50. | :21:54. | |
guidelines. It is not something that is directly legally binding, but I | :21:55. | :21:58. | |
think it does give us some clues about how the European Commission | :21:59. | :22:02. | |
would interpret European law when it comes to considering whether there | :22:03. | :22:06. | |
might be cases to be brought against individual countries, that it might | :22:07. | :22:10. | |
consider had broken those laws. Since we are talking about Uber, it | :22:11. | :22:16. | |
is getting a massive cash infusion from Saudi Arabia, how much? To the | :22:17. | :22:23. | |
tune of $3.5 billion. That puts the company's value at a staggering | :22:24. | :22:30. | |
$62.5 billion now, and in return it will get a seat, Saudi Arabia, on | :22:31. | :22:35. | |
the board of directors. Michelle Fleury is in New York. Good to see | :22:36. | :22:40. | |
you. I was surprised reading this report quite how big the market for | :22:41. | :22:47. | |
Uber is in the Middle East. Well, it is certainly an expanding | :22:48. | :22:50. | |
opportunity for the country. It already operates in Saudi Arabia, no | :22:51. | :22:54. | |
doubt funding will help it expand further into that market and others | :22:55. | :22:58. | |
in the Middle East. This is a global company. Many were caught by | :22:59. | :23:03. | |
surprise by the investment from Saudi Arabia's sovereign wealth | :23:04. | :23:10. | |
fund. 5% stake in the company, as you mention, Wapping sunk. Some | :23:11. | :23:15. | |
people speculating that perhaps Uber had to broaden its list of backers, | :23:16. | :23:19. | |
maybe it was running out of options closer to home in silicon valley. | :23:20. | :23:23. | |
While I have got you, Michelle, I want bring up a tweet we have had | :23:24. | :23:34. | |
from Vox .com. It says this. What you make of that? I think if you | :23:35. | :23:40. | |
look at the markets Uber has gone into, it hasn't been without | :23:41. | :23:44. | |
controversy. This point about women drivers, no doubt the company would | :23:45. | :23:48. | |
take the counterargument and try to say, actually, it will help more | :23:49. | :23:53. | |
Saudi Arabian women move about, because apparently they form a big | :23:54. | :23:58. | |
chunk of the customer base of the service that already exists in the | :23:59. | :24:01. | |
country. The other interesting side to this we haven't talked about is | :24:02. | :24:06. | |
what does this tell us about Saudi Arabia? This country has long been | :24:07. | :24:11. | |
dependent on oil revenue. Many people say an indication perhaps of | :24:12. | :24:14. | |
how a country is trying to diversify away from its reliance on oil. That | :24:15. | :24:19. | |
is a good point, because we heard recently from one of the Crown | :24:20. | :24:23. | |
princes that they were trying to put more money in and diversify away | :24:24. | :24:26. | |
from the oil economy, clearly there is plenty of money for these | :24:27. | :24:32. | |
companies that need it. Yes, and it will be interesting to see how... | :24:33. | :24:37. | |
You mentioned there they will get a seat on Uber's board, how will that | :24:38. | :24:44. | |
shake-out, how will their responsibilities and influences pan | :24:45. | :24:49. | |
out over the company? It goes back to the point you raised over | :24:50. | :24:53. | |
concerns over the Saudi Arabian government, whether that will | :24:54. | :24:58. | |
somehow influence or shape Uber's culture. That is a question critics | :24:59. | :25:02. | |
of this deal have raised. Michelle, for the moment, thank you very much. | :25:03. | :25:07. | |
I am going to try and show you, I don't know if it will work, but this | :25:08. | :25:13. | |
is the old ?5 note, and I don't think... We can't actually show you | :25:14. | :25:21. | |
the new one, but it features British wartime Prime Minister Winston | :25:22. | :25:25. | |
Churchill, and will go into circulation in September. It will be | :25:26. | :25:28. | |
made of plastic rather than cotton paper, and it is then a flexible so | :25:29. | :25:33. | |
it will be cleaner, more durable, lasting for five years and harder to | :25:34. | :25:38. | |
counterfeit than the current paper notes, so we will have to say | :25:39. | :25:43. | |
goodbye to a familiar face on the ?5 note we currently have. Plenty more | :25:44. | :25:47. | |
coming up, we will be in Istanbul and Berlin and also talking about | :25:48. | :25:51. | |
Muhammad Ali, who we hear is in hospital tonight. More on that story | :25:52. | :25:53. | |
as well, so stay with us. Hello. Let's take a look at | :25:54. | :26:10. | |
interesting weather events around the world. Severe weather in | :26:11. | :26:14. | |
