:00:12. > :00:17.Thank you for joining me on Outside Source. These are some of the top
:00:18. > :00:20.stories in the BBC newsroom. The US presidential election has taken
:00:21. > :00:25.another bizarre turn. Donald Trump has been busy on Twitter. Among
:00:26. > :00:30.those in his sights are Paul Ryan, the most senior elected Republican,
:00:31. > :00:34.and Senator John McCain, not to mention the entire Republican
:00:35. > :00:36.leadership. Vladimir Putin's cancelled a meeting with Francois

:02:17. > :02:22.Russia and the US, Russia and France, and to that list we can add
:02:23. > :02:27.Russia in the UK because here is the Huffington Post telling us that
:02:28. > :02:30.Boris Johnson wants to see protests outside the Russian Embassy in
:02:31. > :02:37.London over what is happening in Syria. Earlier, Parliament held an
:02:38. > :02:43.emergency debate on Syria, and Mr Johnson was one of those who spoke.
:02:44. > :02:45.If Russia continues in its current path, then I believe that great
:02:46. > :02:53.country is in danger of becoming a prior nation. ... Para higher

:03:02. > :03:06.international contempt for what is international contempt for what is
:03:07. > :03:11.happening in Syria. That is the diplomacy, this is the
:03:12. > :03:16.war. Russian planes in Syria have resumed air strikes in rebel held
:03:17. > :03:20.districts of Aleppo. If we highlight this district, which activists say
:03:21. > :03:24.has been one of the main targets, that is in the centre of Aleppo. Our

:03:31. > :03:31.in Syria. Before I play his report I should mention it contains images
:03:32. > :03:40.you may well find distressing. The aerial bombardment of the

:04:34. > :04:39.News website. As always, on Outside Source, let's turn to sport. We're
:04:40. > :04:43.going to turn to Maria Sharapova, back on the tennis court today. She
:04:44. > :04:49.was suspended for taking banned medication. This was an exhibition
:04:50. > :04:53.match for charity, so it was allowed, playing on a pretty
:04:54. > :04:56.interesting tennis court. This is her first appearance since testing
:04:57. > :05:03.positive for a banned substance in January. She will be allowed to play
:05:04. > :05:06.again in April. Her suspension was reduced recently. She spoke after
:05:07. > :05:10.the match. I would like to play maybe a couple
:05:11. > :05:12.of exhibition events leading up to my first tournament in April. I
:05:13. > :05:16.don't know what those will be, but I don't know what those will be, but I
:05:17. > :05:19.think that is one of the things that will be really important because

:05:23. > :05:26.much as you want but there is nothing like it.
:05:27. > :05:31.West Ham United have taken over the running of West Ham ladies. Last
:05:32. > :05:37.week, the chairman of the ladies club said West Ham needed to be
:05:38. > :05:41.signed until they start to act like a 21st-century club. Let's go to our
:05:42. > :05:45.reporter on the story. It sounds reporter on the story. It sounds
:05:46. > :05:48.like things have been tense. Yes, you sense there is more to this
:05:49. > :05:52.than meets the eye. The two parties at loggerheads for a fair period of
:05:53. > :05:59.time. Chairman Stephen Hunt of the West Ham ladies, now the former
:06:00. > :06:02.chairman. That deal with the West Ham ladies team being incorporated
:06:03. > :06:08.inside the club proper is that he stands down and cut his ties. He
:06:09. > :06:12.accused them of some pretty damning things, saying that West Ham were
:06:13. > :06:18.guilty of Sextus domination in the way that they were kept away from
:06:19. > :06:21.the main facilities, stopped from getting certain sponsors, having to
:06:22. > :06:30.buy their own kit, having to fund themselves -- sex discrimination.
:06:31. > :06:31.But now the West Ham vice-chairman Karen Brady has said from the top
:06:32. > :06:35.down West Ham United is passionately down West Ham United is passionately
:06:36. > :06:40.committed to equality, particularly to women. That is precisely why
:06:41. > :06:45.women's football is such a high priority on our agenda. It can only
:06:46. > :06:50.benefit West Ham ladies, but I think it has been a few rough days to get
:06:51. > :06:57.where they are. They are down in the 30 of the women's game -- third
:06:58. > :07:00.tier. How does this work with the rest of
:07:01. > :07:05.the Premier League teams was to mark do they all have ladies teams as
:07:06. > :07:11.well built into the clubs? West Ham were one of three. Hull City and
:07:12. > :07:19.Manchester United scrapped their women's teams in 11 years ago when
:07:20. > :07:21.the Glazer brothers took over. They are under increased pressure,
:07:22. > :07:26.Manchester United, because they have Manchester United, because they have
:07:27. > :07:30.got the largest global female fan base, and they are saying it is not
:07:31. > :07:33.right that a club of the size of Manchester United does not have a
:07:34. > :07:39.women's team, and Hull City have not got one either. But the new
:07:40. > :07:45.champions, they are Manchester City, a fantastic infrastructure and set
:07:46. > :07:53.up. And Manchester City women I really integrated into the men's
:07:54. > :07:55.team, kit, facilities, you can see them celebrating when they beat
:07:56. > :08:00.Chelsea to clinch the title a few weeks ago. Man City are really on
:08:01. > :08:06.board, and Manchester United have not got a women's team pits that in
:08:07. > :08:12.sharper contrast. But West Ham on board.
:08:13. > :08:18.Thank you very much, Ollie. One of the stories to mention, look at this
:08:19. > :08:24.tweet from the Boston red Sox, saying... There you have a picture
:08:25. > :08:30.of David Ortiz, one of the red Sox's best-known players. He has had a 20
:08:31. > :08:36.year career which came to an abrupt end on Monday night, the Red Sox
:08:37. > :08:39.lost and that was the end of their season. The fans were not going

:08:58. > :09:04.starts. You draw that line, give him a high
:09:05. > :09:11.five, but they didn't. He came over and give everybody hugs. People ran
:09:12. > :09:14.over to give a hug. You wanted to hear what he was saying and what was

:09:35. > :09:39.slavery. Most come from a small number of countries, including the
:09:40. > :09:45.mania. Naomi Grimley has been investigating, and this is her
:09:46. > :09:50.report -- the mania. This woman is a survivor of human
:09:51. > :09:55.trafficking, and here in a women's shelter in Bucharest, she is trying
:09:56. > :10:01.to rebuild her life. Looking on is her baby girl, fathered by her last
:10:02. > :10:07.traffickers. She was trafficked not once, not twice, but three times
:10:08. > :10:11.around Europe. TRANSLATION: When crossing the border, I had a gun to
:10:12. > :10:16.my head, and they told me to give them the ID and a smile. In the
:10:17. > :10:19.mornings and afternoons I had 15 clients then in the evenings through
:10:20. > :10:24.to the next morning they would bring another 20.
:10:25. > :10:28.In the end it was a client racked with guilt who helped to escape.
:10:29. > :10:36.Many of the victims of trafficking come from remote villages. This
:10:37. > :10:41.village in eastern Romania appears stuck in a bygone era. Many of the
:10:42. > :10:44.houses do not have running water. The traffickers have targeted this
:10:45. > :10:48.place, and the British women who place, and the British women who
:10:49. > :10:55.runs the local community centre says a girl goes missing every month.
:10:56. > :10:57.The girls get involved through a lover boy. It is mostly young,
:10:58. > :11:02.vulnerable teenagers who fall in love with the pimps, who are
:11:03. > :11:08.normally older guys. The girls are very attracted by the Mercedes and
:11:09. > :11:17.the other cars that the pimps are driving around in.
:11:18. > :11:21.This woman was trafficked to Germany for prosecutions -- prostitution.
:11:22. > :11:26.She has come to warn local kids of the dangers.
:11:27. > :11:31.I tell the girls not to ask the guys so easily.
:11:32. > :11:38.She hopes she will make the village's teenagers think twice.
:11:39. > :11:43.Jobs and opportunities are scarce in this village. The traffickers
:11:44. > :11:50.exploit that and act in effect like real life pied pipers. We went to
:11:51. > :11:55.prison an hour north of Bucharest to meet a man who trafficked women and
:11:56. > :12:03.girls to Italy for five years. He claims he did not use any force.
:12:04. > :12:05.explication, but when the girl explication, but when the girl
:12:06. > :12:08.agrees I don't think this is exploitation.
:12:09. > :12:11.But how would you feel if it was But how would you feel if it was
:12:12. > :12:15.your sister or daughter being trafficked?
:12:16. > :12:20.TRANSLATION: You really don't think it is someone's daughter, you think
:12:21. > :12:27.you just have to make money. Would you do it again?

:12:32. > :12:36.Yes. Why?
:12:37. > :12:38.TRANSLATION: They have taken everything from me, I would have to
:12:39. > :12:42.start again from scratch, so I would start again from scratch, so I would
:12:43. > :12:45.do it all again. In the village the worry is another
:12:46. > :12:49.three girls might be gone by Christmas. Some may go willingly to
:12:50. > :12:50.escape poverty, but the life that awaits them, no one could ever
:12:51. > :13:03.knowingly wish for it. On today's programme we have
:13:04. > :13:09.reported from Romania, India, Syria, the US, we will also return to
:13:10. > :13:13.Australia. We can see pictures of the parliament there. The government
:13:14. > :13:14.wants to hold a national vote on legalising same-sex marriage, the
:13:15. > :13:29.opposition is blocking it. An enquiry into the fatal stabbing
:13:30. > :13:32.of a pupil at a school in Aberdeen says the death could have been
:13:33. > :13:39.avoided if teachers have been told the people was carrying weapons.
:13:40. > :13:43.In what should have been the century of the school, a tree has been

:14:04. > :14:08.who carried a knife and knuckle-dusters into the classroom.
:14:09. > :14:11.Today's report says the attack by the boy who cannot be named because
:14:12. > :14:15.of his age resulted from an unplanned spontaneous conflict that
:14:16. > :14:20.could not have been predicted or averted on the day. But it makes
:14:21. > :14:25.clear that the stabbing was potentially predictable and
:14:26. > :14:29.avoidable if those who knew the child's attacker carried weapons
:14:30. > :14:34.into the school and reported it to staff. But it became clear during a
:14:35. > :14:39.news conference today that although it was not contained within the
:14:40. > :14:43.limited parts of a report made public on one occasion there had
:14:44. > :14:48.The headteacher was alerted that he The headteacher was alerted that he
:14:49. > :14:53.was carrying a weapon by us, and I have considered that, and I thought
:14:54. > :14:59.she acted swiftly and appropriately, but she found nothing.
:15:00. > :15:01.I suppose the point is it was a red flag.
:15:02. > :15:05.It was. And that makes it important so why
:15:06. > :15:11.is it not in the summary of this report?
:15:12. > :15:15.Well it has a recommendation in it. Those include giving senior school
:15:16. > :15:18.staff in Scotland the ability to search pupils, even if they do not
:15:19. > :15:22.have their consent. Senior teachers in other parts of the UK already
:15:23. > :15:26.searches. The report also calls for searches. The report also calls for
:15:27. > :15:30.a dedicated strategy to tackle knife crime in schools. There was a scheme
:15:31. > :15:34.in recent years, but Aberdeen City in recent years, but Aberdeen City

:15:42. > :15:45.work as hard and tirelessly as we can to make sure that such a tragedy
:15:46. > :15:51.does never happen again. That loss is felt most at Bailey's
:15:52. > :15:54.school and with his family. To them he was not the subject of a report,
:15:55. > :16:10.he was their friend and their child. Welcome to Outside Source, we are
:16:11. > :16:13.alive in the BBC newsroom. Our lead story is that the rift between
:16:14. > :16:16.Donald Trump and the Republican party leadership is widening. He has
:16:17. > :16:24.turned to Twitter to cull them disloyal and unable to win. If

:18:15. > :18:19.To Iran, the country's football team has them playing South Korea in a

:18:46. > :18:50.help. They say that the people, the
:18:51. > :18:57.spectators have to shout the name of the third Shi'ite imam who on this
:18:58. > :19:06.day many years ago, in the year 680 A.D. Was martyred. Today is the
:19:07. > :19:11.anniversary of that, the most holiest of days in the Shi'ite

:19:19. > :19:23.clerical leaders with a set of ethical and religious questions and
:19:24. > :19:27.challenges. So it is going to be a quiet game,
:19:28. > :19:31.but what are the instructions for the players? Presumably Iranians
:19:32. > :19:34.fans still want them to be passionate and play with their usual
:19:35. > :19:38.vigour. Iran won the match 1-0. At the
:19:39. > :19:44.beginning of the game they had some religious processions in the
