Hello, welcome to Outside Source. At least 60 people have died in a

:00:13.:00:21.

prison riot in Brazil. It appears a fight between local drug gangs is

:00:22.:00:27.

behind this. These are the latest pictures to be released of the New

:00:28.:00:32.

Year's Eve gunmen in Istanbul. We will also report on Myanmar, because

:00:33.:00:40.

for the first time, the government has admitted Muslims have been

:00:41.:00:47.

abused. It will also tell you about what happened to the world's major

:00:48.:00:52.

currencies last year and what is coming up in 2017.

:00:53.:01:06.

Whether you are watching on BBC world News or here in the UK on the

:01:07.:01:12.

BBC News Channel, welcome to the first edition of Outside Source the

:01:13.:01:19.

2017 and happy New Year. We begin with a story of the utmost

:01:20.:01:33.

seriousness in Brazil. It started on New Year's Day and only ended today.

:01:34.:01:37.

Authorities have regained control but we believe dozens and dozens of

:01:38.:01:41.

people died. The BBC's correspondent in Brazil has this report.

:01:42.:01:49.

Local television pictures showed women and family members crying and

:01:50.:01:56.

screaming outside the jail. The riot apparently broke out during visiting

:01:57.:02:05.

hours on New Year's Day. The riot involved rival gangs attacking each

:02:06.:02:12.

other with weapons smuggled into the prison. There were horrific reports

:02:13.:02:16.

of many gang members being tortured and even decapitated after being

:02:17.:02:20.

taken hostage. Many of Brazil's overcrowded and underfunded and

:02:21.:02:26.

resourced jails are in effect run by drug gangs with the prison

:02:27.:02:28.

authorities are unwilling or unable to counteract the power and

:02:29.:02:33.

influence of gangland bosses who run their empires from within the walls.

:02:34.:02:39.

As night fell and armed police tried to regain control of the jail,

:02:40.:02:44.

reports emerged of the violence being committed inside.

:02:45.:02:48.

TRANSLATION: My son is an inmate there. The police won't care about

:02:49.:02:53.

him. I want to know how my son is. My son is in there. This is a

:02:54.:02:58.

bullet. A local security official said the death toll could be as high

:02:59.:03:00.

as 60. TRANSLATION: There were deaths,

:03:01.:03:07.

We have some outside the prison who were thrown from the prison

:03:08.:03:11.

We're already looking for the escapees in

:03:12.:03:16.

Riots and gang-related massacres are common at jails across Brazil

:03:17.:03:19.

Almost 24 hours after the riot began, some sort

:03:20.:03:22.

But this was more proof that Brazil's broken prison system

:03:23.:03:29.

As we were explaining, the power of drugs gangs is one important factor

:03:30.:03:43.

but so is overcrowding. Brazil has the world's fourth-largest prison

:03:44.:03:47.

population, estimated to be around 600,000 inmates. If we look at the

:03:48.:03:51.

map here as we go in, we have highlighted particular prison where

:03:52.:03:54.

this riot has taken place. We understand it was built for around

:03:55.:03:58.

500 inmates but it could be holding at least double that. In the long

:03:59.:04:03.

term, the issue becomes more pronounced. This is one expert on

:04:04.:04:08.

organised crime in Latin America, saying the current rate of increase,

:04:09.:04:12.

the prison population could be 1.9 million eye to thousands 30. So a

:04:13.:04:18.

huge jump from where it already is. Let's bring in the BBC's Nellie

:04:19.:04:25.

Barrera, working on the story for the BBC in Sao Paulo. Before we get

:04:26.:04:31.

the details of this story, I've seen other reports of other riots, what

:04:32.:04:36.

can you tell me about that? Just hours after the riots that we saw,

:04:37.:04:44.

two other riots were registered this afternoon in Manaus in other

:04:45.:04:54.

detention centres. In one case in a prison where 1500 prisoners are held

:04:55.:05:02.

and it was built to hold just 500. A group of prisoners tried to escape

:05:03.:05:06.

and it was controlled by security guards. In another prison, yet

:05:07.:05:14.

another one, some prisoners tried to push the gates of the prison and

:05:15.:05:17.

were also controlled by security guards. But none as violent as the

:05:18.:05:27.

one we saw yesterday and controlled by this morning. They have just

:05:28.:05:31.

updated the information about the number of prisoners who were

:05:32.:05:34.

actually killed and the number is actually 55. Families of prisoners

:05:35.:05:45.

are actually waiting for some sort of information. Given that

:05:46.:05:48.

overcrowding is creating such pressures, Nelly, why is the

:05:49.:05:53.

government still pursuing a policy which sees the prison population

:05:54.:06:00.

increase so much? Yeah, well, the overcrowding is a problem, not a

:06:01.:06:05.

present problem but it goes a long way back here in Brazil. There have

:06:06.:06:11.

been discussions and the Ministry of Justice have travelled to Manaus to

:06:12.:06:17.

assess the situation and see if they can transfer some prisoners. What

:06:18.:06:21.

they are trying to do now is try to move some gang members from Sao

:06:22.:06:27.

Paulo to Rio de Janeiro, two of the country's most important cities,

:06:28.:06:33.

where two of the most important drug gangs originated. They try to

:06:34.:06:42.

transfer those inmates so that they could break up the gangs and that

:06:43.:06:47.

doesn't seem to be working. The government now faces his biggest

:06:48.:06:53.

challenge of how they are going to control the gangs that operate both

:06:54.:06:56.

inside and outside the prison here in Brazil. And also to deal with a

:06:57.:07:03.

now growing population in the penitentiary system. Thank you very

:07:04.:07:08.

much for the update. We will have ongoing coverage of this online in

:07:09.:07:17.

English in the BBC news and in Spanish on bbcmundo.com as well.

:07:18.:07:22.

Let's switch to Turkey because there is still no sign of the gunmen

:07:23.:07:26.

behind the attack on New Year's Eve. We do have footage released by the

:07:27.:07:31.

authorities showing the moments the attack began. If you look here, you

:07:32.:07:35.

will see an explosion, a bullet hitting the tarmac of the road.

:07:36.:07:40.

After a little while, the gunmen took a taxi out of the boot of the

:07:41.:07:44.

car and appears in the right of the shot as we look at it, firing as he

:07:45.:07:49.

walks. As the video continues he turns to his left and walks towards

:07:50.:07:53.

the entrance of the club. By the time he had finished the attack, 39

:07:54.:07:58.

people had lost their lives. Now the Islamic State group is saying it was

:07:59.:08:03.

responsible for this, says it was a retaliation for Turkish air strikes

:08:04.:08:08.

in the area against IS. It's worth noting how IS claimed responsibility

:08:09.:08:13.

for this. Charlie Winter, an expert on IS, has picked up on this issue.

:08:14.:08:21.

This is what he says. He refers to central media, the main media

:08:22.:08:33.

accounts of Islamic State, not Amaq, a news agency. He expands on this

:08:34.:08:46.

point. He is saying IS sought to categorise Istanbul as an attack it

:08:47.:08:54.

had directly organised rather than one it just inspired. It wants us to

:08:55.:08:59.

put this attack in that first category. Let's get an update on

:09:00.:09:04.

that manhunt. We are being told that the search

:09:05.:09:13.

for the gunmen could actually be over soon. Deputy Prime Minister

:09:14.:09:17.

gave a news conference earlier today and he said we are very close to

:09:18.:09:24.

identifying who the gunmen is and they have found fingerprints and

:09:25.:09:32.

further evidence the video footage has emerged and pictures have

:09:33.:09:35.

emerged clearly showing the face of the gunmen. Turkish media is

:09:36.:09:41.

broadcasting these pictures all the time. This circle, it feels like, is

:09:42.:09:50.

getting narrower and narrower and that is what the officials here in

:09:51.:09:54.

Turkey hope to end this manhunt. Whether he is a Turkish man, a

:09:55.:09:59.

foreign national, whether there are people behind him or whether he was

:10:00.:10:04.

acting on his own. So-called Islamic State have claimed responsibility

:10:05.:10:09.

for the attack, but we still don't know whether this person, this

:10:10.:10:15.

gunmen, acted on his own or whether he is part of a cell operating in

:10:16.:10:16.

Turkey. As well as this attack in New Year's

:10:17.:10:22.

Eve in the centre of Istanbul, there have been a number of significant

:10:23.:10:27.

terror attacks in Turkey in 2016. For instance, there were bombings at

:10:28.:10:32.

a major football stadium and also at the Ataturk International Airport in

:10:33.:10:37.

Istanbul. We've also covered stories of attacks in Ankara, the Turkish

:10:38.:10:42.

capital, and we should emphasise the south-east of the country where the

:10:43.:10:46.

conflict with Kurdish militants goes on.

:10:47.:10:53.

By my count, in the last 18 months or so, we've had a roundabout one

:10:54.:11:00.

death every day, civilian, police, army and so on and so forth. That

:11:01.:11:05.

causes a huge problem for Turkey and the fact that Turkey is also

:11:06.:11:11.

responding to its coup aftermath, from what happened in July, shows

:11:12.:11:15.

that we have a stake in a huge state of confusion at the moment. I'm not

:11:16.:11:19.

necessarily saying it was neglect that caused this attack but it was

:11:20.:11:24.

very challenging at the moment for the Turkish government to respond to

:11:25.:11:28.

an attack like this. In terms of Islamic State, the Turkish president

:11:29.:11:35.

changed tack quite markedly in 2016 as to how he would approach that. It

:11:36.:11:41.

would be politically difficult to turn and change tack again? It would

:11:42.:11:44.

be extremely difficult for him. He said he would not go into Syria

:11:45.:11:47.

without American backing. He wanted this safe zone that he created in

:11:48.:11:55.

Syria in coordination with the free Syrian army. To reverse again after

:11:56.:12:00.

that would be a hugely problematic and politically difficult thing for

:12:01.:12:04.

him to do. So it looks like for the moment at least he's going to stick

:12:05.:12:08.

with it. In terms of the attack at the nightclub, as many European

:12:09.:12:12.

governments have discovered, it is very hard to stop one person with a

:12:13.:12:17.

powerful weapon killing people, however much money you invest in

:12:18.:12:22.

security. Exactly. But I guess the humiliation, for lack of a better

:12:23.:12:25.

word, is the fact that this is New Year's Eve and there were multiple

:12:26.:12:30.

warnings from sources from Turkish sources saying this would be a

:12:31.:12:33.

difficult day and there were thousands of police officers on the

:12:34.:12:38.

streets of Istanbul. Turkey has got a very sophisticated intelligence

:12:39.:12:41.

organisation but all of these did not seem to work together

:12:42.:12:44.

effectively to stop this latest across a tee. In terms of pressure

:12:45.:12:49.

on the security services, how much turnover has there been in staff

:12:50.:12:52.

since the attempted coup? This is a very difficult question to answer

:12:53.:12:56.

because a huge number of people have been new to their jobs, many others

:12:57.:13:04.

are in prison, the problem is that this turnover in the civil service

:13:05.:13:08.

and the judiciary is making it extremely difficult for people to

:13:09.:13:12.

actually create a coherent strategy, so there is no scrutiny in Turkey.

:13:13.:13:17.

Countries that don't ask awkward questions of themselves are

:13:18.:13:19.

countries that don't operate very effectively. Just on our lead story,

:13:20.:13:28.

this prison riot in Brazil, BBC Brasil are covering this in

:13:29.:13:34.

Portuguese. That will get you coverage in Portuguese. Now we must

:13:35.:13:39.

turn to another very serious day in Baghdad because the Islamic State

:13:40.:13:44.

group has struck again. We know this time at least 35 people died in the

:13:45.:13:53.

Iraqi capital. We have highlighted a very well-known Shia district of

:13:54.:14:00.

Baghdad, Sadr City. There were also two other car bombs in Baghdad

:14:01.:14:06.

today, targeting or were close to Shia hospitals. What we've seen

:14:07.:14:09.

today as part of a broader campaign from Islamic State. You may not know

:14:10.:14:17.

this but IS has its own news agency called Amaq, which often carries

:14:18.:14:21.

information IS wants to communicate. This is a breaking news strap

:14:22.:14:26.

telling as that IS has claimed responsibility for today but what

:14:27.:14:29.

we've seen is really part of a broader push. This is New Year's Eve

:14:30.:14:37.

in Baghdad, when there were two side attacks. This was New Year's Day,

:14:38.:14:41.

where there was another deadly attack. President Hollande of France

:14:42.:14:45.

is visiting Iraq at the moment, with French troops close to Baghdad at a

:14:46.:14:50.

military base and he has talked about, despite the attacks today, IS

:14:51.:14:57.

is retreating and will be beaten. I wanted to see if our correspondent

:14:58.:15:03.

from BBC Arabic agreed with that. He looks at the situation in the Middle

:15:04.:15:07.

East in huge amounts of detail. We been under pressure in the

:15:08.:15:10.

-- they have been under pressure in the Mosul area recently but they

:15:11.:15:15.

have unable to launch attacks elsewhere and this is a trademark of

:15:16.:15:19.

how capable they are. So it's less about territory and more about

:15:20.:15:23.

killing people, as Al-Qaeda have done for many years? Absolutely,

:15:24.:15:28.

it's more about guerrilla warfare and they are hitting urban areas,

:15:29.:15:34.

particularly in crowded areas like today, the square in the southern

:15:35.:15:38.

city where the attack took place was a very crowded area, someone brought

:15:39.:15:45.

the truck to the square where many labourers gather, it was a suicide

:15:46.:15:54.

bomber and their objective was to kill and maim as many people as

:15:55.:15:59.

possible. In a few minutes' time, I will be playing you a very clever

:16:00.:16:05.

report about the gaming industry and also about Rory becoming a computer

:16:06.:16:13.

game character. You will see him in action as never before. See that in

:16:14.:16:14.

a few minutes. The first 14 areas in England to be

:16:15.:16:22.

selected for so-called Garden villages have been announced in a

:16:23.:16:25.

bid to create tens of thousands of new homes.

:16:26.:16:34.

Three larger garden towns have also been approved for Buckinghamshire,

:16:35.:16:36.

Somerset and the Essex-Hertfordshire border.

:16:37.:16:37.

The Government says that the plans will help provide vital homes.

:16:38.:16:40.

But rural campaigners have warned there is still strong opposition

:16:41.:16:43.

Earlier I spoke to Grant Shapps, the local MP for Welwyn Garden City,

:16:44.:16:51.

one of the Britain's first garden cities and a former housing minister

:16:52.:16:53.

What we have to do and I regret not doing more of it when I

:16:54.:16:58.

was housing minister is think how we're going to produce another 1

:16:59.:17:01.

million or 2 million homes but on a much larger scale and not

:17:02.:17:04.

just confining it to the south-east but

:17:05.:17:06.

looking at part of the country which need greater populations.

:17:07.:17:14.

And would benefit from and want to have the additional housing.

:17:15.:17:30.

Hello, welcome to the BBC newsroom at Outside Source.

:17:31.:17:35.

Nearly 60 people have died in a prison riot in Brazil. A fight

:17:36.:17:42.

between rival gangs is said to be behind the violence. As I'm sure you

:17:43.:17:48.

know, 2016 brought a huge amount of attention on currencies and their

:17:49.:17:52.

fluctuations. The fall of the pound in the aftermath of Brexit and the

:17:53.:17:56.

rupee was also under huge amounts of pressure at different points. Here's

:17:57.:17:59.

a report taking a look at some of the main currencies in the world,

:18:00.:18:04.

where they are now and what 2017 may bring.

:18:05.:18:09.

At the start of 2016 it was all about the Japanese yen. Asia's

:18:10.:18:15.

hardest working central banker did everything in his power to weaken

:18:16.:18:19.

the yen, but nothing, not even negative interest rates, worked.

:18:20.:18:24.

Everyone said 2016 would be a tough year for the yen. As all this was

:18:25.:18:30.

going on, the Chinese economy was firing. Chinese individuals began

:18:31.:18:37.

selling more -- sending more of their cash overseas. Then came the

:18:38.:18:41.

first big shock, the vote for Brexit. The Stirling slammed against

:18:42.:18:46.

the US dollar after the UK unexpectedly voted to leave the

:18:47.:18:48.

European Union in June. It's lost about 15% of its value. How has that

:18:49.:18:55.

uncertainty led to more -- all of that uncertainty led to more value

:18:56.:19:07.

for the yen. And then Trumpflation hit. Donald Trump won the US

:19:08.:19:18.

election and the dollar soared. Through it all, the Chinese yuan

:19:19.:19:26.

kept falling. So where does that bring us to at the beginning of

:19:27.:19:31.

2017? The US dollar is at the strongest level it's seen in years

:19:32.:19:34.

and it looks set to stay that way. The British pound has lost a fifth

:19:35.:19:39.

of its value since the Brexit vote. A new normal, perhaps. And the

:19:40.:19:43.

Japanese yen, what negative interest rates couldn't do, Mr Trump did, and

:19:44.:19:48.

finally the Japanese yen is weakening against a strong dollar.

:19:49.:19:52.

The Chinese yuan looks to continue its strong march downwards against

:19:53.:19:54.

the US dollar, for now at least. First time I've heard the word

:19:55.:20:03.

Trumpflation! Thanks for that. Now, a great report on the gaming

:20:04.:20:06.

industry that also sees Rory being made into a character in a game.

:20:07.:20:10.

We've not seen Rory pulled these kind of moves before. Have a look.

:20:11.:20:15.

Look straight ahead, straight at this postcard,

:20:16.:20:16.

what we are going to do is get you to do a range of emotions.

:20:17.:20:20.

In the studio in Oxford, I'm preparing for a role

:20:21.:20:30.

So this is the first stage in making me a character in the game

:20:31.:20:40.

and now I'm going to have to pull a lot of funny faces.

:20:41.:20:43.

It's going to take many weeks but eventually

:20:44.:20:46.

I will be a character, a goodie I hope, in Sniper Elite 4.

:20:47.:20:49.

In 2017, this will be a major release from Rebellion -

:20:50.:20:52.

one of Britain's biggest independent games firms.

:20:53.:20:58.

When we first visit, back in September, they have a lot

:20:59.:21:01.

on their plate, including crucially a game for the Sony VR launch.

:21:02.:21:04.

A big investment with a lot hanging on it.

:21:05.:21:06.

When they embarked on this project back 18 months ago,

:21:07.:21:09.

there was a great deal more scepticism about how successful

:21:10.:21:11.

So it really was a punt - or I should say a smart gamble.

:21:12.:21:20.

These guys and girls here play games professionally

:21:21.:21:24.

It is a quarter of a century since Jason Kingsley

:21:25.:21:31.

and his brother Chris started Rebellion.

:21:32.:21:33.

When my brother and I started Rebellion, we were always being

:21:34.:21:35.

So we are grown adults with a quite a big corporation behind us

:21:36.:21:44.

and we make entertainment that sells across the world.

:21:45.:21:46.

I mean, China, consumers in China buy our games,

:21:47.:21:48.

consumers in Brazil, all these emerging markets

:21:49.:21:50.

Obviously if I see something wrong...

:21:51.:21:57.

Roughly 200 people work here from across Europe.

:21:58.:21:59.

I can't help noticing a lot of men, very few women.

:22:00.:22:03.

Is it getting any easier for women to get into the games industry?

:22:04.:22:06.

I mean, me growing up, I would not have even dreamt

:22:07.:22:12.

but for the last ten years it seems like the doors have been more open.

:22:13.:22:17.

Two months later, we returned to Rebellion to find out

:22:18.:22:22.

I suppose it is quite a good likeness.

:22:23.:22:29.

We will take this high resolution model and we will put it

:22:30.:22:33.

into the game and we will see what you look like in that.

:22:34.:22:37.

Yes, you are currently the hero of the Sniper Elite series.

:22:38.:22:47.

I have been transformed into a ruthless, all-action soldier.

:22:48.:22:49.

In in the world of video games, anything is possible!

:22:50.:22:54.

Let's turn to a story we have covered a lot on Outside Source, the

:22:55.:23:02.

allegations of human rights abuses against a Muslim minority in

:23:03.:23:07.

Myanmar. Before I play the video I should say it contains upsetting

:23:08.:23:08.

scenes. This is being filmed by a police

:23:09.:23:21.

officer and as you can see, other police officers are beating the

:23:22.:23:24.

person sitting on the floor. They and all of the other people sitting

:23:25.:23:36.

on the floor are Muslims whose home is Rahane state.

:23:37.:23:49.

The government says it is simply conducting counterterrorism. On this

:23:50.:23:55.

video it says that footage was filmed in November, as the police

:23:56.:24:00.

conducted an operation after police officers were shot, one fatally.

:24:01.:24:08.

Here is Celia Hatton, with her analysis. There were some previous

:24:09.:24:14.

videos. Around a dozen have surfaced from Rohingya themselves laying

:24:15.:24:18.

look, there has been abused in this state and this is how the police

:24:19.:24:23.

were treating us and they were always dismissed by the government

:24:24.:24:28.

as fake. This is different because it shows and office are almost

:24:29.:24:34.

taking a Selvie and casually smoking a cigarette while the abuses going

:24:35.:24:40.

on behind him. It's clear he's there and he's part of it and there is no

:24:41.:24:43.

dispute as to what is going on in the video. This time the government

:24:44.:24:47.

has really not unable to ignore it. Is this part of a broader shift in

:24:48.:24:52.

approach or just a specific response to one video? It seems it is just a

:24:53.:24:56.

specific response to one video. At first the government said it would

:24:57.:24:59.

take action against the police in the video. Most people don't really

:25:00.:25:08.

feel that those police are going to suffer any serious punishments. The

:25:09.:25:12.

stance of the government all along has been just to defend what it's

:25:13.:25:19.

doing in that state against the wishes of people like the UN human

:25:20.:25:23.

rights chief who has said that ethnic cleansing is going on in the

:25:24.:25:29.

state and many of Myanmar neighbours are calling out to say that

:25:30.:25:36.

something needs to be done, this is human rights violations on a mass

:25:37.:25:40.

scale. We have an estimated 50,000 people who fled to Bangladesh,

:25:41.:25:43.

according to the Bangladesh authorities. The UN has that number

:25:44.:25:48.

around 34,000 but many of those people who fled, witnesses say

:25:49.:25:51.

systematic torture, rape and murder are going on in Rakhine state and

:25:52.:25:55.

the government really hasn't done much. That is it for the first half

:25:56.:25:59.

of Outside Source, I will be back in a couple of minutes.

:26:00.:26:05.

Good evening. It's been a fairly chilly but clear and largely dry day

:26:06.:26:12.

too. Our weather watchers have been out snapping the weather today and

:26:13.:26:15.

here is a beautiful scene of the sunset sitting over the river in

:26:16.:26:20.

East Sussex there. Some clear skies around as we head through the

:26:21.:26:24.

evening and to the overnight period. Temperatures already dropping

:26:25.:26:27.

rapidly, a particular cult night across parts of central and southern

:26:28.:26:35.

England and Wales. -- particular gold. Watch out for cold weather if

:26:36.:26:39.

you are heading back to work on Tuesday. Across rural parts we could

:26:40.:26:43.

see lows down around 5 degrees. Less in the way of frost in the

:26:44.:26:48.

north-west, cloud rushing in and a milder started Tuesday for parts of

:26:49.:26:52.

Scotland. Quite windy towards the north and sunlight drizzly rain

:26:53.:26:56.

across western Scotland too. For Northern Ireland and northern

:26:57.:27:01.

England, some drizzly rain around. As we head down the east coast of

:27:02.:27:05.

England, clear spells allowing a cold start to Tuesday morning so a

:27:06.:27:10.

sharp frost as well as the chance of seeing some mist and some freezing

:27:11.:27:15.

fog patches around southern England and Wales too. During Tuesday, lots

:27:16.:27:19.

of dry weather on the cards. A bit of rain in the west of Scotland and

:27:20.:27:23.

perhaps into Northern Ireland but the north-west keeps most of the

:27:24.:27:27.

cold, whereas south and east it will stay quite dry with some sunny

:27:28.:27:32.

spells breaking through. Around six or 7 degrees. Further north,

:27:33.:27:37.

slightly milder. As we move through into the middle of the week, it is

:27:38.:27:41.

high pressure that dominates the forecast. A weak front pushing its

:27:42.:27:44.

way through south as we head into Wednesday. Nothing on that front

:27:45.:27:49.

really, producing the odd spot of rain but it will produce colder air

:27:50.:27:53.

which starts to pile in from a northerly direction. If you expected

:27:54.:27:57.

that wind coming in from the North Sea, it will feel pretty chilly.

:27:58.:28:02.

Elsewhere, cloud tends to thin break as it shifts south-west through the

:28:03.:28:08.

day. Temperatures by the afternoon ranging between about four and 9

:28:09.:28:13.

degrees or so. No great changes in the weather as we look towards

:28:14.:28:17.

Thursday. Another chilly day with wintry sunshine, slightly milder

:28:18.:28:20.

with perhaps Tom rain in the north-west as we get to Friday.

:28:21.:28:25.

That's how it's looking, more on our website.

:28:26.:30:12.

This is Outside Source. These are some of our main story: In Brazil

:30:13.:30:17.

almost 60 people have died in a prison riot. A fight between rival

:30:18.:30:21.

drug gangs is said to be behind the violence.

:30:22.:30:26.

TRANSLATION: There were deaths, unfortunately. We have some outside

:30:27.:30:30.

the prison who was thrown from the prison by the inmates themselves.

:30:31.:30:35.

Turkey says they have the identity of the gunmen who attacked an

:30:36.:30:42.

Istanbul nightclub. These are pictures of him. IS said they

:30:43.:30:45.

directed the attack. President Obama is back from

:30:46.:30:49.

holiday, back in Washington, DC, he may only have a few days left in the

:30:50.:30:53.

White House but he is working hard today to try and save Obama care for

:30:54.:30:57.

stuff we will explain what his plan is. And the latest on the Premier

:30:58.:31:01.

League and the final of the world darts championship which is

:31:02.:31:05.

happening right now, Michael van Gerwen from the Netherlands is up

:31:06.:31:09.

against Gary Anderson. -- save Obama Care.

:31:10.:31:23.

Still no sign of the gunmen behind the Istanbul attack on New Year's

:31:24.:31:29.

Eve. We do, though, have new footage. We just showed you it

:31:30.:31:33.

briefly. Let's have a look in detail. It shows the moment is the

:31:34.:31:38.

attack happened outside the nightclub. You can see the bullets

:31:39.:31:42.

coming off the tarmac. And a few moments later, the gunmen, who

:31:43.:31:46.

arrived by taxi, arrives just the right of shot. He is already firing.

:31:47.:31:50.

Then he turns to his left and makes his way into the club. He killed 39

:31:51.:31:59.

people. IS are saying this particular attack was retaliation to

:32:00.:32:02.

Turkish air strikes against IS positions in Syria. It is worth

:32:03.:32:07.

noting how it claimed responsibility. We were talking

:32:08.:32:10.

about this early in the programme. Charlie Winter said it claimed it

:32:11.:32:16.

through its central media channel, which suggests, in his assessment,

:32:17.:32:23.

that it is trying to say it directed this. It coordinated this attack.

:32:24.:32:26.

This wasn't just somebody who was inspired by IS. Let's talk to our

:32:27.:32:31.

security correspondent Frank Gardner. Do you agree with Charlie's

:32:32.:32:37.

analysis, that IS wants to position this attack as one of its bigger,

:32:38.:32:42.

more coordinated efforts? To some extent they are still trying to say,

:32:43.:32:45.

we are still a force to be reckoned with. The caliphate is not yet

:32:46.:32:50.

defeated. We are still around. In a way it doesn't really matter, sort

:32:51.:32:54.

of, whether it is directed, whether it is inspired, the fact is the

:32:55.:32:59.

ideology is still out there. Falling this comes down to better

:33:00.:33:02.

intelligence and better security. Let's not beat around the bush,

:33:03.:33:06.

Turkish intelligence, which can be very good, failed to this instance.

:33:07.:33:11.

It can fail in many countries. But they had warning the attacks were

:33:12.:33:15.

possible. They had extra security on the streets. This was a high-profile

:33:16.:33:19.

place. A lot of people had come from around the middle east to celebrate

:33:20.:33:23.

New Year's Eve there, yet there was hardly any security to stop this

:33:24.:33:28.

guy. It was a failure both of intelligence and of security. One of

:33:29.:33:32.

the issues we've discussed before after other IS attacks has been the

:33:33.:33:36.

issue of countries sharing intelligence. We talked about it

:33:37.:33:40.

after Brussels and after Paris. Is there any progress in all of these

:33:41.:33:44.

countries under threat helping each other? To some extent. The biggest

:33:45.:33:49.

problem is in Europe, where there are attempts to try and do this. But

:33:50.:33:54.

national intelligence agencies are very reluctant to share sensitive

:33:55.:34:00.

intelligence, sensitive information that has come from informants,

:34:01.:34:07.

because they do not want... This often comes down to the timely

:34:08.:34:13.

sharing of it. A lot of the problem is different names. IS tends to use

:34:14.:34:18.

nicknames. These are not the real names and the spellings are often

:34:19.:34:22.

different. And that confuses western intelligence agencies. What has

:34:23.:34:27.

marked IS as being different is that it doesn't just carry out terror

:34:28.:34:31.

attacks it seeks to gather territory. Francois Hollande said

:34:32.:34:37.

Mosul will fall maybe by the summer, in a few months' time, do you agree

:34:38.:34:41.

with this assessment that despite Baghdad today, Istanbul on New

:34:42.:34:46.

Year's Eve, IS is still being driven there? Two things are certain. IS

:34:47.:34:52.

Will Hughes Mosul and rack. We don't know when but they will -- IS will

:34:53.:35:03.

lose Mosul and Raqqa. Then it becomes an insurgency, as opposed to

:35:04.:35:07.

a fixed state with a fixed army. There was a big dispute between

:35:08.:35:11.

Al-Qaeda leader back in 2011 and so-called Islamic State. Al-Qaeda

:35:12.:35:15.

did not approve of them declaring the caliphate. -- between Al-Qaeda

:35:16.:35:25.

back in 2011. Osama Bin Laden always said it was too early to establish a

:35:26.:35:30.

caliphate. He said this was a long-term game. 20 years, maybe 30

:35:31.:35:34.

years, there will come a time, now is not the right time. Their ways --

:35:35.:35:43.

there is a dispute amongst the group brought about this. I understand

:35:44.:35:47.

there is a big coalition to retake Mosul. Mosul is likely to fall.

:35:48.:35:55.

Raqqa Is in Syria, a more complex country than Iraq with different

:35:56.:35:59.

security elements pulling in different directions. Why are you so

:36:00.:36:05.

sure that Raqqa is going to fall? I don't think it will be in the next

:36:06.:36:08.

three months. I wouldn't put a date on it. But it cannot survive.

:36:09.:36:13.

Especially with Donald Trump, to the White House, taking on the

:36:14.:36:18.

presidency, and he has vowed to, you know, stamp them out, as it were.

:36:19.:36:23.

For as long as they have got a de facto capital, that claim is going

:36:24.:36:26.

to look pretty silly, it will undermine his, sort of, thrust of

:36:27.:36:31.

his overseas foreign policy in the Middle East, you know, as it forms.

:36:32.:36:38.

The number of groups that are lining up there, I think eventually will

:36:39.:36:41.

provide an overwhelming force. The Syrian Civil War, which has

:36:42.:36:45.

sustained IS, ironically, isn't going to go on forever. It has taken

:36:46.:36:50.

a terrible toll on that country. It has driven refugees out of the

:36:51.:36:55.

country in their millions. But it cannot go on forever. Even if the

:36:56.:36:59.

current Russian Turkish peace deal, the ceasefire, doesn't hold, are the

:37:00.:37:03.

ones will eventually come to the fore that well. And there will be an

:37:04.:37:09.

accommodation of the regime in some form and eventually Raqqa will fall.

:37:10.:37:13.

Thanks very much. Let's bring you up-to-date with all

:37:14.:37:21.

of the main sport stories. The Premier League first, games coming

:37:22.:37:26.

thick and fast this time of year. The latest round was today. Ollie

:37:27.:37:30.

Foster has been following everything from the BBC sport Centre. Pick some

:37:31.:37:35.

out. The European leagues are their

:37:36.:37:39.

winter breaks. We've had just one day in the last eight weather hasn't

:37:40.:37:43.

been a Premier League match. We had six today. Leaders Chelsea not

:37:44.:37:47.

playing until Wednesday against Spurs. It is a chance for the other

:37:48.:37:51.

teams to play catch up a little bit. Liverpool were six points behind in

:37:52.:37:56.

second place, surely they will get a win at Sunderland. They twice took

:37:57.:38:06.

the lead by Daniel Sturridge and Mane. But it ended in a draw. They

:38:07.:38:15.

are five points away from Chelsea now. Manchester City up to third,

:38:16.:38:21.

they beat Burnley. Fernandinho was sent off in the first half, their

:38:22.:38:25.

captain, it is the third time in six games he has got a red card. Gael

:38:26.:38:30.

Clichy and Aguero helped them to a 2-1 win against Burnley. Pep

:38:31.:38:36.

Guardiola, should he be happy? He gave a very awkward interview to BBC

:38:37.:38:40.

sport's Damien Johnson after the match. We won against a lot of

:38:41.:38:47.

circumstances and a tough game. We are happy for that. What was your

:38:48.:38:54.

view of the red card for Fernandinho? You are the

:38:55.:38:58.

journalists, not me. You don't seem that happy you have won. --

:38:59.:39:05.

journalist. More than you believe. You are not showing it. I am so

:39:06.:39:11.

happy, believe me, happy New Year. Our Manchester City still in the

:39:12.:39:16.

title race? Yesterday no, today, yes. -- are. Another interview he

:39:17.:39:24.

gave to an American broadcaster was released after that match against

:39:25.:39:28.

Burnley. He said he would be in Manchester for the next three

:39:29.:39:33.

seasons, maybe more, but I am coming towards the end of my coaching role,

:39:34.:39:40.

I feel the process of my goodbye has already started. One other notable

:39:41.:39:44.

result, Manchester United beat West Ham 2-0. Are still in sixth

:39:45.:39:50.

position, but level on points with spas in this position. -- with

:39:51.:40:02.

Tottenham in fiveth position. I hope they don't beat Tottenham, because I

:40:03.:40:06.

am a Tottenham fan. CHUCKLES

:40:07.:40:12.

Thanks very much. More sport information on the website.

:40:13.:40:16.

Now, the cricket, the Supreme Court has ordered the head of the cricket

:40:17.:40:27.

board to resign, this is following a whole range of match fixing scandal,

:40:28.:40:32.

we have more on this story. What we have seen today is a major

:40:33.:40:35.

development but it isn't entirely unexpected. We sing the stand-off

:40:36.:40:38.

between the Indian Supreme Court and the cricket board of India go on the

:40:39.:40:43.

several months. -- we have seen the stand-off. The Supreme Court ordered

:40:44.:40:48.

the BCCI to implement major changes in the way the body was being run.

:40:49.:40:54.

The changes they asked for included restricting government ministers and

:40:55.:40:56.

bureaucrats from contesting elections, limiting the number of

:40:57.:41:01.

terms for which officials can be appointed, bringing the BCCI under

:41:02.:41:07.

the right information act, which is a law in India, which allows

:41:08.:41:10.

ordinary citizens of the country to make an application at ask for

:41:11.:41:14.

information about anybody. It could be things about finances. It could

:41:15.:41:18.

be information about how certain appointments have been made. The

:41:19.:41:22.

BCCI was always reluctant in permit these reforms. They did make some

:41:23.:41:26.

changes but they didn't implement everything. That's the reason why we

:41:27.:41:30.

have seen this decision taken by the Supreme Court today. The man in the

:41:31.:41:34.

spotlight, who until this morning was the president of the BCCI has

:41:35.:41:38.

perhaps one of the most powerful cricket administrators in the world,

:41:39.:41:43.

did come out with a statement. He defended his record. He said the

:41:44.:41:47.

BCCI was the best managed sports body in India, but that he respects

:41:48.:41:52.

the Supreme Court's decision. What happens for the BCCI now? The

:41:53.:41:57.

Supreme Court said over the next few months it'll appoint a new committee

:41:58.:42:01.

to run the board but every member, every official, will have to sign an

:42:02.:42:05.

undertaking, saying they will implement the reforms that the

:42:06.:42:13.

Supreme Court has asked bowl. -- asked for.

:42:14.:42:18.

Latest on a rowing race across the Atlantic. Tim Moffat has met people

:42:19.:42:22.

taking part. Why embark on a journey as arduous

:42:23.:42:31.

as this? 3000 miles unsupported, rowing across the Atlantic. For

:42:32.:42:37.

some, Toby, Rory and Harry, the answer is clear, as they explain

:42:38.:42:42.

before setting off. Ten years ago my brother passed away. -- Sam. He took

:42:43.:42:49.

his life. I've always wanted to do something in his memory. That is why

:42:50.:42:58.

we are here. When he died I was really unaware of what a major

:42:59.:43:01.

problem suicide was, particularly among young men. The idea is to get

:43:02.:43:05.

more young men talking about any problems they might have. The

:43:06.:43:12.

problem with guys is they see opening up about their feelings as a

:43:13.:43:18.

feminine thing. They almost want to curate their lives and cast an image

:43:19.:43:22.

of themselves that may interest others, or something others might be

:43:23.:43:26.

interested by. The reality is there was a lot going on underneath all of

:43:27.:43:30.

that and guys find it difficult to do so, because they don't want to

:43:31.:43:36.

ruin that image they have built up. Last year Nikki, Helen, Frances and

:43:37.:43:43.

Jeanette, the Yorkshire Rose, completed the same journey and

:43:44.:43:46.

became the first all-female crew to do so. We took a lot of inspiration

:43:47.:43:51.

from the Yorkshire Rose. Incredible what they achieved. Money raised

:43:52.:43:58.

will fund new crisis centres, places where people who need help can find

:43:59.:44:02.

it. The first to open will be in Liverpool and will be called James'

:44:03.:44:08.

Place. I know when times are tough, when we are rowing, I can always

:44:09.:44:12.

remember exactly why we are doing it. And I know that my brother,

:44:13.:44:19.

James, will be looking at all four of us and will be our guiding light.

:44:20.:44:25.

Let me update you on the darts. It is the BBC world darts championship

:44:26.:44:33.

final happening right now. Unless something very strange happens, this

:44:34.:44:37.

man, Michael van Gerwen, will become the new world champion. He has won

:44:38.:44:41.

it once before. He has been focused on this all year. He has won 25

:44:42.:44:46.

tournaments. He says none of them matter if he doesn't win tonight. He

:44:47.:44:51.

is looking good. He is 6-2 in sets, he need seven to win the whole

:44:52.:44:54.

thing. It'll need a big comeback from Gary Anderson, who is trying to

:44:55.:44:59.

win three world titles in a row. It is looking unlikely because this guy

:45:00.:45:05.

is playing amazing. We've never seen anything like it. In the semifinal

:45:06.:45:09.

he hit the highest average ever seen in the World Championship. Quite

:45:10.:45:13.

something. One of our regular viewers, and a well-known US news

:45:14.:45:25.

anchor, has sent a message asking if we can perhaps throw darts at the

:45:26.:45:28.

screen. I don't think so. If you want to follow the final and you

:45:29.:45:32.

cannot get access to live TV coverage, follow it through the live

:45:33.:45:36.

page, excellent coverage on the BBC News sport page.

:45:37.:45:43.

In a few minutes we will be going live to Washington, DC to talk

:45:44.:45:46.

about, well, two stories, Russian diplomats who have been expelled by

:45:47.:45:50.

Barack Obama who has arrived back home. But also President Obama is in

:45:51.:45:57.

Washington to try and do more work to save Obama Care, so we will talk

:45:58.:45:59.

about that, too. The British art critic, writer, and

:46:00.:46:12.

painter John Bird has died. His best-known work was ways of seeing,

:46:13.:46:16.

a criticism of Western cultural athletics, and he also one -- won

:46:17.:46:27.

the Booker prize. Our arts correspondent met him at his home.

:46:28.:46:38.

The activity of riding has been, for me, a helpful one. It allows me to

:46:39.:46:45.

make sense of things and continue. I want to question that some of the

:46:46.:46:53.

assumptions... John Burda, a young artist, who became a writer, who

:46:54.:46:57.

persuaded the BBC to make him -- let him make a television programme

:46:58.:47:05.

about how the way we view art has changed. His programmes turned out

:47:06.:47:11.

to be as iconic as the art he talked about. Today he lives in Paris with

:47:12.:47:19.

an old friend and a bad back. We had four months to make these

:47:20.:47:23.

programmes. With nobody ever coming to see us. After four months, and an

:47:24.:47:31.

incredible amount of editing and reediting, we offered it to them as

:47:32.:47:40.

a fait accompli. In the circumstances of making television,

:47:41.:47:42.

these things could never happen again, and it was miraculous. The

:47:43.:47:46.

process of seeing paintings or anything else is less spontaneous

:47:47.:47:50.

and natural than we tend to believe. A large part of seeing depends upon

:47:51.:47:56.

habit and intervention. Is there a right way and therefore a wrong way

:47:57.:48:04.

of looking at art? It's quite disturbing... To watch the public.

:48:05.:48:13.

People come in. They stand in front of a painting. They take a picture.

:48:14.:48:24.

And they move on. A fellow Booker prizewinner said John Burda teaches

:48:25.:48:28.

us how to think, how to feel, and how to stare at things until we see

:48:29.:48:32.

what we thought wasn't there. -- John Burger.

:48:33.:48:44.

Thanks for joining me for the first Outside Source of the year. Our lead

:48:45.:48:52.

story: Almost 60 people have died at a prison riot in Brazil. A fight

:48:53.:48:57.

between rival gangs is said to have started the violence. Let's have a

:48:58.:49:00.

quick look at what you have coming up after Outside Source. World News

:49:01.:49:07.

America will introduce you to a young man whose Down's syndrome

:49:08.:49:09.

isn't holding him back. His journey has inspired many. You will find out

:49:10.:49:16.

how. In the UK, the News at ten, the report from Northern Ireland on an

:49:17.:49:20.

attempt to get Catholic and Protestant schools to share

:49:21.:49:21.

facilities. There are two stories I want to talk

:49:22.:49:29.

to Laura about, she is in Washington, the first is that in the

:49:30.:49:32.

last few hours Barack Obama has got back to Washington after a holiday

:49:33.:49:36.

in Hawaii. Donald Trump is going to take over on the 20th, but it seems

:49:37.:49:40.

there is still plenty of work for the president to do. There is a

:49:41.:49:47.

tweet from a good source, telling us that Obama is heading to Capitol

:49:48.:49:53.

Hill to save Obama Care. Happy New Year, good to have you here again on

:49:54.:49:58.

Outside Source. What can he do in the remaining days to make sure he

:49:59.:50:01.

can shore up this health care programme?

:50:02.:50:07.

What he is trying to do is exploit the split and the Republicans. They

:50:08.:50:14.

are split on what should replace Obama Care. Critically, there are

:50:15.:50:22.

Republicans in areas where Trump voters are worried about losing

:50:23.:50:26.

their coverage and lawmakers are responding to that pressure. This is

:50:27.:50:30.

the president going to Capitol Hill. Remember, he's been talking to

:50:31.:50:33.

Donald Trump a lot on the phone about this. We know he has suggested

:50:34.:50:38.

a couple of things Trump could keep in Obama Care. So this is the

:50:39.:50:43.

president trying to rally Democrats and saving what he sees as his key

:50:44.:50:47.

achievement, 20 million people have signed up, people who didn't have

:50:48.:50:51.

health insurance before, and the president desperately trying to keep

:50:52.:50:53.

it. It feels like President Obama is

:50:54.:50:58.

working furiously, taking out major policy decisions right up to the

:50:59.:51:03.

end. I don't recall George W Bush or Bill Clinton doing that, or is my

:51:04.:51:08.

memory playing tricks on me? It isn't uncommon. What is uncommon

:51:09.:51:14.

here is the chasm that exists between Democrats and Republicans

:51:15.:51:18.

over things like the environment. Donald Trump says he wants to roll

:51:19.:51:21.

back all of those regulations President Obama has introduced. And

:51:22.:51:26.

on affordable health care. We've also seen on that question of

:51:27.:51:31.

Russia's interference with the US election. The president rushing to

:51:32.:51:34.

slap new measures on Russia in his closing days.

:51:35.:51:38.

You mentioned Russia, let's talk about them now. I will show

:51:39.:51:42.

everybody watching some pictures we have got. This is a plane carrying

:51:43.:51:47.

the 35 Russian diplomats President Obama has expelled. This is then

:51:48.:51:50.

coming home, landing in Moscow. They have been kicked out because Barack

:51:51.:51:56.

Obama believed Russia hacked the Republican party and leaked --

:51:57.:52:03.

hacked the Democratic party and leaked those e-mails connected to

:52:04.:52:09.

Hillary Clinton. Why has he done this so close to the end of his

:52:10.:52:12.

term? It is because he has received a

:52:13.:52:17.

unanimous assessment from the intelligence agencies saying that

:52:18.:52:20.

they believe Russia was behind this hacking of the Democrats' e-mails.

:52:21.:52:27.

He wants to do something now. Donald Trump has clearly that he wants a

:52:28.:52:30.

warmer relationship with Russia. And he's also cast doubt on the idea

:52:31.:52:35.

Russia was behind the hacking. The president feeling urgently he must

:52:36.:52:38.

do something. But there has been a new tweet from Donald Trump. He has

:52:39.:52:44.

said that I know things other people don't know about this alleged

:52:45.:52:48.

hacking. He said he will reveal what he knows in the next couple of days.

:52:49.:52:52.

Already his incoming spokesman to the White House has had to walk back

:52:53.:52:56.

from that saying it won't be revelatory what Donald Trump will

:52:57.:53:00.

come up with. But the key here is that Donald Trump resent any idea

:53:01.:53:04.

that Russia intervened to help him win the election, because that casts

:53:05.:53:09.

doubt on his victory. He is pushing hard against that one.

:53:10.:53:14.

Just tell us about the transition of power. On the 20th, is very straight

:53:15.:53:19.

moment where President Obama stops having the power and Donald Trump

:53:20.:53:23.

receives it? It's the swearing in. It's the

:53:24.:53:28.

moment Donald Trump is sworn in. That's the moment he moves from

:53:29.:53:33.

being President elect to being POTUS president of the United States.

:53:34.:53:38.

Already the transition is happening. The White House cannot process the

:53:39.:53:41.

entire staff leaving on the same day. In the next two and a half

:53:42.:53:46.

weeks Obama staff will be handing in their security. They will be signed

:53:47.:53:50.

out. All of that. A big moment in Washington as we move from one

:53:51.:53:57.

administration to a very, very different one indeed. These are

:53:58.:54:02.

going to be exciting times. And as the vice president elect would say,

:54:03.:54:06.

strapped in, it's going to be quite the right.

:54:07.:54:09.

I'm sure it is. You will be helping us through it. Thanks very much.

:54:10.:54:16.

Needless to say, whether you are watching in the UK, or anywhere else

:54:17.:54:20.

in the world, you will have extensive coverage of Donald Trump's

:54:21.:54:24.

inauguration on the 20th of January. Just one last word on the darts...

:54:25.:54:31.

In the last few moments Michael van Gerwen has won the world darts

:54:32.:54:36.

championship in what is being widely held as one of the greatest darts

:54:37.:54:40.

matches we've ever seen. He beat Gary Anderson, the reigning

:54:41.:54:43.

champion, so there will be delirium in parts of the Netherlands. There

:54:44.:54:47.

is definitely delirium in north London where the event is taking

:54:48.:54:51.

place. Quite an atmosphere. You can get much more on the darts on the

:54:52.:54:56.

BBC sport app. I will be back tomorrow night at the same time.

:54:57.:54:58.

Goodbye. Happy New Year. 2016 ended on a

:54:59.:55:12.

relatively mild and cloudy note. 2017 has kicked off with a different

:55:13.:55:16.

feel. It has been clearer and colder. We have had views like one

:55:17.:55:21.

of -- like this one

:55:22.:55:23.
