Hello, I'm Karin Giannone, this is Outside Source. | :00:09. | :00:11. | |
Let's look through some of the main stories here in the BBC Newsroom. | :00:12. | :00:17. | |
Just one week to go to the Euro 2016 championships in France. | :00:18. | :00:20. | |
Ukraine says it's foiled a plan to launch multiple terror attacks | :00:21. | :00:23. | |
There are questions tonight about how easy it is to buy machine guns | :00:24. | :00:39. | |
in the Ukraine. And we have a big medical | :00:40. | :00:41. | |
breakthrough to bring you. Scientists begin the process, | :00:42. | :00:43. | |
of trying to grow human Muslims observing Ramadan in the UK | :00:44. | :00:45. | |
are facing the longest days of fasting in 33 years, | :00:46. | :00:49. | |
as the holy month coincides Scientists in the United States | :00:50. | :00:51. | |
are trying to grow human They have injected human stem cells | :00:52. | :01:16. | |
into pig embryos to produce The embryos are part of research | :01:17. | :01:21. | |
aimed at overcoming the worldwide Could this solve the organ | :01:22. | :01:27. | |
transplant shortage? That's the aim of | :01:28. | :01:40. | |
research in California. These sows are pregnant with part | :01:41. | :01:44. | |
pig, part human offspring. The pig embryos had their DNA edited | :01:45. | :01:48. | |
using a technique known as crisper, then human cells were injected | :01:49. | :01:54. | |
which scientists hope will allow a human, not | :01:55. | :01:57. | |
pig pancreas, to grow. Just one example of this | :01:58. | :02:01. | |
powerful technology. Inside each cell in our body | :02:02. | :02:04. | |
is our genome, billions of pieces It's the blueprint or | :02:05. | :02:17. | |
instruction manual for life. A single error or spelling mistake | :02:18. | :02:25. | |
in that DNA can trigger disease. There are thousands of genetic | :02:26. | :02:29. | |
disorders and many more conditions Crisper gene editing enables | :02:30. | :02:33. | |
scientists to scan the entire genome and using molecular scissors to cut | :02:34. | :02:41. | |
both strands of DNA and delete, In San Francisco, the world's first | :02:42. | :02:45. | |
trials have already happened using an earlier form | :02:46. | :02:59. | |
of gene editing. Matt is one of around 80 HIV | :03:00. | :03:02. | |
patients whose immune cells have been DNA edited to try to make them | :03:03. | :03:07. | |
resistant to the virus. Since the trial, he's stopped taking | :03:08. | :03:15. | |
any antiretroviral drugs. My viral load is pretty good, | :03:16. | :03:18. | |
pretty well controlled. That's kind of the point | :03:19. | :03:24. | |
of the study to see how well you can naturally control HIV | :03:25. | :03:28. | |
after you get the treatment. How long have you been | :03:29. | :03:33. | |
off your meds? It's too early to talk about cures | :03:34. | :03:36. | |
after such a small trial, but the Bayeux chemist | :03:37. | :03:44. | |
who co-discovered crisper, a new rapid form of gene editing | :03:45. | :03:48. | |
says medicine will be transformed. Just thinking about the opportunity | :03:49. | :03:54. | |
to cure a genetic disease, not treat it, not you know, | :03:55. | :03:58. | |
just give palliative treatment, but really provide a cure, | :03:59. | :04:01. | |
in the future, is so exciting. People say that this is going to be | :04:02. | :04:06. | |
the century of biology. I think there's a lot | :04:07. | :04:14. | |
of truth to that. But when scientists can alter DNA | :04:15. | :04:16. | |
at will, society will have to decide what limits should be placed on such | :04:17. | :04:19. | |
a powerful technology. I spoke with Fergus | :04:20. | :04:27. | |
about other potential uses Gene editing enables any DNA of any | :04:28. | :04:43. | |
organism on the planet to be altered. So it has implications for | :04:44. | :04:50. | |
animals, for crops, agriculture and, as you said, for human health. The | :04:51. | :04:57. | |
first trials of an older version of Gene editing, they all use the same | :04:58. | :05:01. | |
principle. They can do this double break in the strand of DNA, the | :05:02. | :05:05. | |
stuff inside of the mucus of ourselves. That took place in San | :05:06. | :05:10. | |
Francisco. 18 men with HIV were treated. I spoke to one chap who had | :05:11. | :05:18. | |
been off his medication, his anti-retroviral drugs, for two | :05:19. | :05:23. | |
years. We cannot read too much into a small trial but it is a proof of | :05:24. | :05:27. | |
principle that Gene editing has great promise. Just four years ago, | :05:28. | :05:32. | |
a team in California co-discoverer at a new rapid fast cheap form of | :05:33. | :05:39. | |
Gene editing that has spread across pretty much every laboratory doing | :05:40. | :05:43. | |
research in the world. The first treatment for an eye disease and | :05:44. | :05:49. | |
other forms of disorders, leukaemia, they should happen within a few | :05:50. | :05:54. | |
years. I do think in terms of basic medical research and in terms of | :05:55. | :05:58. | |
wider applications for the future, this will be the game changer for | :05:59. | :06:05. | |
science. Very briefly, we have heard some vocal ethical concerns? Yes, | :06:06. | :06:11. | |
sure. With great power comes great responsibility. When scientists can | :06:12. | :06:18. | |
alter your or my DNA, or that of pigs or plans, we have to decide | :06:19. | :06:21. | |
what limits we are going to place on that technology. -- plans. Fergus | :06:22. | :06:26. | |
was. A rare attack on the intelligence | :06:27. | :06:27. | |
services in Jordan has It happened on the northern | :06:28. | :06:29. | |
outskirts of the capital Amman at a building in the Baqaa refugee | :06:30. | :06:33. | |
camp, home to Palestinians who fled It's been widely condemned including | :06:34. | :06:37. | |
by the Jordanian government. The Communications Minister told | :06:38. | :06:44. | |
state TV "Security forces are chasing these culprits | :06:45. | :06:45. | |
and investigating the circumstances Yolande Knell is | :06:46. | :06:49. | |
following the story. This is something that is very rare | :06:50. | :07:02. | |
in Jordan, although it has ongoing concerns about home-grown | :07:03. | :07:06. | |
extremists, those Jordanians have joined jihadist groups in Iraq and | :07:07. | :07:11. | |
Syria, neighbouring countries and sometimes there is a threat that | :07:12. | :07:14. | |
this on rest will spill across its borders. People are really quite | :07:15. | :07:19. | |
outraged by this attack that took place at about seven o'clock this | :07:20. | :07:27. | |
morning in the refugee camp. It is Jordan's biggest Palestinian refugee | :07:28. | :07:31. | |
camp to the north of the capital. It is the first day of Ramadan, a time | :07:32. | :07:37. | |
when Muslims are observing a fast. Things would have been relatively | :07:38. | :07:41. | |
quiet in the office. And perhaps they were caught off guard. We are | :07:42. | :07:45. | |
not giving too much information from the government at the moment, | :07:46. | :07:51. | |
articulately about what happened in terms of the cause of this attack. | :07:52. | :07:55. | |
Some suggested was a lone gunman who broke in. But of course it is the | :07:56. | :08:05. | |
main news here in Jordan Mutch of the Arab world. The minister saying | :08:06. | :08:11. | |
that they are going to find out who the perpetrators were, but no group | :08:12. | :08:14. | |
claiming responsibility at the moment. | :08:15. | :08:17. | |
The English Premier League is the richest in the world - | :08:18. | :08:20. | |
and it seems that the big money extends to legal claims too. | :08:21. | :08:22. | |
Eva Carniero was the Chelsea doctor until an incident during a match | :08:23. | :08:25. | |
against Swansea last season that angered then manager Jose Mourinho. | :08:26. | :08:28. | |
Eventually Dr Carneiro left the club and she's now claiming constructive | :08:29. | :08:30. | |
During an employment tribunal today, it emerged she rejected a one point | :08:31. | :08:35. | |
Dr Carneiro arrived at the start of the hearing scheduled to last until | :08:36. | :08:53. | |
June 20 four. She is alleging constructive dismissal against | :08:54. | :08:56. | |
Chelsea. That all came about after Chelsea's opening game of the | :08:57. | :08:58. | |
Premier League season against Swansea in August. She went onto the | :08:59. | :09:05. | |
field of play to tend to Hazard. He was lying injured on the page. That | :09:06. | :09:12. | |
infuriated Jose Mourinho, who believed the medical team needed to | :09:13. | :09:15. | |
take more account of the state of play. The game at the time. He | :09:16. | :09:19. | |
criticised the medical team afterwards. A few weeks later Eva | :09:20. | :09:25. | |
Carneiro resigned. She has lanced this constructive dismissal claim. | :09:26. | :09:29. | |
Chelsea say they have done nothing unlawful. Today in court documents | :09:30. | :09:34. | |
we discovered they had attempted to resolve the matter by offering Eva | :09:35. | :09:38. | |
Carneiro ?1.2 million. They say all over chewers have been rejected. In | :09:39. | :09:47. | |
response, we have got a skeleton outline of Dr Carneiro's legal | :09:48. | :09:52. | |
claim. It says, this is a claim of two employees, one good and one bad. | :09:53. | :09:58. | |
The references to Jose Mourinho. The bad employee forces the good | :09:59. | :10:01. | |
employee out of the job of her dreams and the employer, Chelsea, | :10:02. | :10:06. | |
does nothing to stop it. Many people had expected there might be a | :10:07. | :10:09. | |
resolution to this case. It does not appear to be the case. Both sides | :10:10. | :10:14. | |
appear to be in for the long haul. We're going to hear from Jose | :10:15. | :10:19. | |
Mourinho, the Manchester United manager now, possibly as early as | :10:20. | :10:23. | |
next week when he is called to give evidence. Richard Conway. | :10:24. | :10:28. | |
A Chinese retail giant agreeing to buy a stake in AC Milan. | :10:29. | :10:38. | |
The Italian team famously share the San Siro stadium | :10:39. | :10:40. | |
with their arch-rivals AC Milan who are also in talks with Chinese | :10:41. | :10:43. | |
Will Perry is at the BBC Sports Centre. | :10:44. | :10:49. | |
It looks that way. The Chinese retail firm will pay 280 million | :10:50. | :11:05. | |
euros for this majority stake as part of an overall 750 million euros | :11:06. | :11:09. | |
deal which would see the current owner stay on as president. The | :11:10. | :11:15. | |
company is based in Nanjing. They owned 1600 stores across China with | :11:16. | :11:22. | |
a turnover of just $55 billion. Why Inter Milan? That is the question. | :11:23. | :11:27. | |
There seems to be a football culture revolution in China, with the | :11:28. | :11:30. | |
president hinting at a bid for the World Cup somewhere down the line. | :11:31. | :11:34. | |
The Chinese Super League is a growing commodity. Inter Milan have | :11:35. | :11:38. | |
won the Italian championship 18 times and three times the Champions | :11:39. | :11:42. | |
League. They would give huge access to the European market and raise the | :11:43. | :11:47. | |
profile of Chinese football. Look at other countries, Slough via Prague | :11:48. | :11:53. | |
are Chinese owned. Aston Villa sold a 13% stake to Chinese investors. It | :11:54. | :12:05. | |
clearly makes financial sense for inter-, | :12:06. | :12:12. | |
who under their manager, Roberto Mancini, are looking to win their | :12:13. | :12:15. | |
first major trophy in five years and once again become a major European | :12:16. | :12:16. | |
force. The world of boxing continues to pay | :12:17. | :12:18. | |
tribute to Muhammed Ali. In a sign of his universal appeal, | :12:19. | :12:22. | |
the President of Turkey and King of Jordan have been announced | :12:23. | :12:25. | |
as speakers at his funeral. That takes place in Louisville, | :12:26. | :12:29. | |
Kentucky on Friday and we'll have Now here's a sport that we haven't | :12:30. | :12:32. | |
featured on Outside Source before - you may not have heard | :12:33. | :12:41. | |
of fingerhakein. It's a kind of finger wrestling | :12:42. | :12:44. | |
with a long tradition Let's take a look at what happens | :12:45. | :12:46. | |
in the Bavarian city of Peissenberg. We will get there eventually. Let me | :12:47. | :12:59. | |
show you that area. No, we're not going there. Anyway, it is happening | :13:00. | :13:03. | |
in Peissenberg. This is what happens. | :13:04. | :13:38. | |
That is Outside Source sport. The mother of a three-year-old boy who | :13:39. | :13:45. | |
fell into a gorilla enclosure in the United States will not face | :13:46. | :13:50. | |
prosecution. Officials at the Cincinnati zoo shot dead the Animal | :13:51. | :13:54. | |
to protect the child. The boy's family say they are pleased with the | :13:55. | :13:59. | |
decision. The county prosecutor said the mother's actions were not even | :14:00. | :14:02. | |
close to meriting charges of reckless endangerment. She had three | :14:03. | :14:07. | |
other children with her. She turned her back. I have gotten dozens of | :14:08. | :14:14. | |
not hundreds of e-mails about this case. And if anyone doesn't believe | :14:15. | :14:20. | |
a three-year-old can scamper off very quickly, they've never had | :14:21. | :14:29. | |
kids. Because they can and they do. Stay with us on Outside Source. It | :14:30. | :14:33. | |
is the start of Ramadan. We will tell you why Muslims have the | :14:34. | :14:35. | |
longest fast in 33 years. It is believed several million | :14:36. | :14:51. | |
people I've yet to register to vote in the EU referendum. Many are young | :14:52. | :14:56. | |
and from energy groups. Gavin Hewitt reports. On the eve of | :14:57. | :14:59. | |
the deadline to register to vote, the referendum ground war | :15:00. | :15:05. | |
intensifies. Millions still have not registered. On the streets, | :15:06. | :15:11. | |
confusion and questions. What can we do about it? This is Lincoln. With | :15:12. | :15:19. | |
some any voters not registered, party activists no turnout is key. | :15:20. | :15:28. | |
He is in. She is out. She is in. He is out. This is about winning | :15:29. | :15:38. | |
arguments. Years ago we managed fine when we were out. The world as | :15:39. | :15:47. | |
globalised now. It is fine. I think I am going to vote state, which is | :15:48. | :15:50. | |
probably what you don't want to hear. There is the unsure. All the | :15:51. | :16:00. | |
money that we put into the EU, it'll come out of the EU. We have got | :16:01. | :16:06. | |
money coming back to us. And there is the newly converted. I was | :16:07. | :16:10. | |
passing by. I spoke to the people representing Remain and I felt | :16:11. | :16:15. | |
strongly with what they said. In the past three weeks, 1.3 million people | :16:16. | :16:19. | |
have registered to vote, half of them under 35. But it seems many | :16:20. | :16:25. | |
younger people have not signed up. In the general election, Lincoln is | :16:26. | :16:29. | |
a marginal, a key battle ground. But in a referendum that does not matter | :16:30. | :16:32. | |
because every vote carries equal weight. For the two camps, they have | :16:33. | :16:39. | |
been adopting different strategies on the ground war -- in the ground | :16:40. | :16:44. | |
war. This doctor has been researching the campaign. She says | :16:45. | :16:48. | |
the Remain camp is holding more events focused on urban areas where | :16:49. | :16:54. | |
they have more support. If you want to go to a pro-EU area, you are | :16:55. | :16:59. | |
trying to mobilise people. You're not trying to convert you are trying | :17:00. | :17:02. | |
to get people to be polling stations. Get out The Vote on your | :17:03. | :17:08. | |
side. That would suggest Remain is adopting a strong mobilisation | :17:09. | :17:11. | |
strategy. She says the league campaign appears more engaged in | :17:12. | :17:13. | |
trying to convert people to its cause. | :17:14. | :17:23. | |
You were with Outside Source. Our lead story. With five days until the | :17:24. | :17:33. | |
start of france-macro in Paris, Ukraine says it has arrested a man | :17:34. | :17:36. | |
suspected of planning a string of terrorist attacks. Coming up | :17:37. | :17:45. | |
shortly, if you are outside the UK, it is world News America next. | :17:46. | :17:50. | |
They've been speaking to world renowned cellist Yo-yo Mah | :17:51. | :17:52. | |
as a new documentary about his musical | :17:53. | :17:54. | |
Here in the UK, the News at Ten will be on at half ten. | :17:55. | :17:58. | |
They've got the latest on the EU referendum campaign. | :17:59. | :18:01. | |
David Cameron has appeared with the leaders of the Labour, | :18:02. | :18:03. | |
Lib Dem and Greens Party, warning an EU exit would put "a bomb | :18:04. | :18:06. | |
Wildlife crimes are 26 percent higher than initial | :18:07. | :18:14. | |
estimates two years ago, according to the UN's Environment | :18:15. | :18:16. | |
In a new report, they say international criminal gangs | :18:17. | :18:21. | |
are making profits estimated at more than $250 from ivory and bushmeat. | :18:22. | :18:25. | |
Angola's government has pledged to close down the biggest market | :18:26. | :18:27. | |
Angola, not for the faint-hearted. A post-war generation may be | :18:28. | :18:49. | |
struggling to find jobs, but here business is booming in the bush meat | :18:50. | :18:54. | |
trade. Mainly illegal. We did not have too look far to find it. | :18:55. | :18:58. | |
Although this may offend some sensibilities, this is the reality | :18:59. | :19:03. | |
of bush meat. What they are selling here is a gazelle or an antelope. | :19:04. | :19:08. | |
Every bit of the Animal is used. It is not simply about traditions. One | :19:09. | :19:12. | |
woman said there was an economic reason. It is cheaper than the price | :19:13. | :19:22. | |
of fish. Monkey, snake, Wildcat, gazelle, all for sale to the strains | :19:23. | :19:27. | |
of a popular tune. It may seem macabre. But this woman is among | :19:28. | :19:33. | |
millions resisting moves to ban it. TRANSLATION: They cannot stop it and | :19:34. | :19:36. | |
you cannot compare the taste of this meet with the taste of chicken. This | :19:37. | :19:42. | |
is much better. And this is just the tip of the | :19:43. | :19:47. | |
iceberg. Big crime syndicates are using markets like this to shift | :19:48. | :19:51. | |
bush meat and ivory on an industrial scale. Wildlife no bigger than the | :19:52. | :19:58. | |
trade in firearms. Cheap motorbikes coming into the landscape and | :19:59. | :20:03. | |
enabling them to do this, to convert wildlife into money. The people are | :20:04. | :20:08. | |
eating just the heads and the guts. These animals are eating the big | :20:09. | :20:13. | |
cats. It is cascading down into the ecosystem. Soldiers are now being | :20:14. | :20:25. | |
rebranded as wildlife rangers. Effort having scaled up to detect | :20:26. | :20:32. | |
the criminal gangs. They are porches. -- poachers. They are | :20:33. | :20:38. | |
killing animals. We don't want to kill any single -- every single | :20:39. | :20:42. | |
animal. Because we need this as well. But it is a race against time. | :20:43. | :20:49. | |
The vast territory that makes up the river system out of macro bounds | :20:50. | :20:54. | |
during decades of war is now exposed, opening up a new front in | :20:55. | :20:58. | |
the battle between conservationists and wildlife criminals. This is one | :20:59. | :21:06. | |
of the last pieces of uncharted territory on this planet. It is | :21:07. | :21:13. | |
quite extraordinary. The potential for finding more is enormous. That | :21:14. | :21:18. | |
is what is driving conservation and tourism. Christine and wild. -- | :21:19. | :21:29. | |
Christine. There is still a chance to protest -- protect the wildlife. | :21:30. | :21:35. | |
A proposal for a conservation zone is on the table and an effort to | :21:36. | :21:38. | |
cheat the criminals and avoided the looming threat that these majestic | :21:39. | :21:41. | |
creatures could very soon face extinction. And there is more on | :21:42. | :21:47. | |
that report on the BBC website. Ramadan has got underway | :21:48. | :21:50. | |
here in the UK - Muslims around the country have been | :21:51. | :21:52. | |
breaking their fast But because the holy month coincides | :21:53. | :21:54. | |
with the summer solstice, it means really long daylight hours - | :21:55. | :21:58. | |
the longest days of fasting Mysah Valley from the BBC's | :21:59. | :22:00. | |
Asian Network told me This year the Farsala longest they | :22:01. | :22:16. | |
have been in 35 years. You are fasting for around 19 hours. Muslims | :22:17. | :22:23. | |
follow the lunar calendar. Each year Ramadan moves forward and it | :22:24. | :22:28. | |
coincides with the summer solstice. You can have water, people ask. But | :22:29. | :22:37. | |
you cannot have any water, any food, any drink. It is about | :22:38. | :22:43. | |
self-discipline, self reflection, bettering your relationship with God | :22:44. | :22:47. | |
and others around you. Tell me what a typical day is like? Shore. It is | :22:48. | :22:53. | |
a very early alarm call. You wake up at about two o'clock and have a | :22:54. | :22:59. | |
predawn meal. You have things like porridge or bananas. Basically | :23:00. | :23:02. | |
slow-release foods that will keep you going during the day. During the | :23:03. | :23:06. | |
day it is as normal as possible because that is the point of | :23:07. | :23:09. | |
Ramadan. You carry on as normal. You may pray more, you may read the | :23:10. | :23:14. | |
Koran more. At night there are long prayers at the mosque. That is | :23:15. | :23:21. | |
trying to complete the Koran, 30 chapters in 30 days. You are exempt | :23:22. | :23:25. | |
because of your medical condition. There are certain groups who do not | :23:26. | :23:29. | |
have to fast. What do you miss most about this routine? I would say, and | :23:30. | :23:36. | |
people may think this is odd... People think I am lucky to get out | :23:37. | :23:42. | |
of it. I miss having my stomach rumble and be instantly reminded it | :23:43. | :23:46. | |
is Ramadan and that is why I am hungry, not just because I have not | :23:47. | :23:49. | |
had a break. The whole point is putting yourself in a position of | :23:50. | :23:53. | |
poorer people who do not have the luxury of being able to eat. You | :23:54. | :23:58. | |
missed that sense of achievement, of accomplishing something? Exactly. I | :23:59. | :24:01. | |
will make offer it in other ways. I will give more money to charity, | :24:02. | :24:05. | |
help to feed the homeless. There are other ways you can make up for it. | :24:06. | :24:10. | |
It is about self reflection and self-discipline. | :24:11. | :24:16. | |
Let's Hend on the annual custard pie Championships in cocci in Kent. -- | :24:17. | :24:24. | |
end. Teams came from all over the world, mostly in fancy dress. Six | :24:25. | :24:33. | |
points for a direct hit in the face. Three points for a near miss above | :24:34. | :24:41. | |
the shoulders. One point four heading any other part of the body. | :24:42. | :24:44. | |
The contest has been going on for almost 50 years. The reigning | :24:45. | :24:49. | |
