:00:11. > :00:16.Outside Source, these are some of the main story is here in the BBC
:00:17. > :00:19.Newsroom Live. Donald Trump is planning to appoint his son-in-law
:00:20. > :00:25.Jarrod Kushner as a senior adviser at the White House. In Turkey,
:00:26. > :00:28.President Erdogan says he wants greatly expanded powers. Parliament
:00:29. > :00:36.look set to agree. Opposition figures said Turkey's democracy is
:00:37. > :00:39.under threat. TRANSLATION: Will it bring freedoms, strengthen
:00:40. > :00:44.democracy, or will it bring in an authoritarian regime? Here's Meryl
:00:45. > :00:47.Streep accepting a lifetime achievement award at the Golden
:00:48. > :00:51.Globes. She was pretty rude about Donald Trump. Donald Trump return
:00:52. > :00:55.the favour on Twitter. We will get into that and quickly look at the
:00:56. > :00:59.Golden Globes as well. Fifa has named Ronaldo its Player of the
:01:00. > :01:02.Year. We will be live at the BBC Sport Centre to discuss that and
:01:03. > :01:03.also look ahead to a big announcement tomorrow about the
:01:04. > :01:26.future of the World Cup. As I was just mentioning, President
:01:27. > :01:29.Berdych man of Turkey once extensive new -- President Erdogan once
:01:30. > :01:32.extensive new powers, the Turkish parliament looks to agree, if it
:01:33. > :01:35.does the matter will go to a referendum. The president is saying
:01:36. > :01:39.these powers will bring stability and develop into Turkey but not
:01:40. > :01:43.everyone is convinced. TRANSLATION: Will these changes to the
:01:44. > :01:48.constitution bring in price cuts? Will there be free water, will it
:01:49. > :01:53.end terrorism, will it decrease taxes, will it strengthened pussy or
:01:54. > :01:59.will it bring in an authoritarian regime? Do the people need this, you
:02:00. > :02:02.ever ask them? There had been some small protests. These were pictures
:02:03. > :02:07.from earlier outside parliament in Ankara. If you hundreds people and
:02:08. > :02:12.they love the police as well. The crowd was eventually dispersed by
:02:13. > :02:15.the police, which used water cannon among various other tactics. This
:02:16. > :02:18.whole new push for new powers for the president needs to be seen in
:02:19. > :02:21.the context of the failed coup of last summer. Since then in Turkey
:02:22. > :02:26.there has been a state of emergency. More than 50,000 people have been
:02:27. > :02:29.sacked or suspended from state jobs, media outlets have been shut,
:02:30. > :02:32.journalists have been arrested. We have been covering this on Outside
:02:33. > :02:36.Source and have also covered how Turkey has a penal code which states
:02:37. > :02:41.that anybody who insults the president can face up to four years
:02:42. > :02:44.in prison. So the president is already a seriously powerful figure,
:02:45. > :02:54.but Mr Erdogan would like more powers. BBC Turkish now on exactly
:02:55. > :03:01.what these new powers are. Right now, the party who is in power right
:03:02. > :03:06.now is making an offer of changes to the constitution. So with these
:03:07. > :03:09.changes if they will be approved in the parliament and then in the
:03:10. > :03:14.referendum, they will be offering, the system will be changed from a
:03:15. > :03:19.Parliamentary one to a presidential one, so the president will be on top
:03:20. > :03:23.of the execution, so he or she will have more powers than the
:03:24. > :03:27.parliament. For example right now in Turkey, Parliament has more powers
:03:28. > :03:31.than the president. The president has been normally very symbolic role
:03:32. > :03:34.in Turkish Republic, but with this constitutional change, he or she
:03:35. > :03:43.will be having more powers, and also for example checks and balances, and
:03:44. > :03:47.the separation of powers, will be in danger. And it looks like the
:03:48. > :03:51.majority of parliament will agree with the president, but what about
:03:52. > :03:56.public opinion? Do they like this shift in system? Pro-government
:03:57. > :03:59.newspapers for example, they are saying it will be approved by the
:04:00. > :04:05.public, but some companies are making some public calls, so we can
:04:06. > :04:09.see that the margin is very small. Some public opinion are saying it
:04:10. > :04:18.will be a no to the constitution in the public polls and some are saying
:04:19. > :04:22.yes, but it will be very close, so the public opinion polls are showing
:04:23. > :04:26.the margins are very small. Is there a direct connection between the
:04:27. > :04:32.failed coup of last year and the suggestion of new powers now?
:04:33. > :04:35.Actually yes, they are saying there will be more stability. So as the
:04:36. > :04:39.president will be gaining more powers, the stability will be
:04:40. > :04:43.constructive. Those kind of event will be less in the future of
:04:44. > :04:48.Turkey. We have had stories from Turkey, from the US, and now one of
:04:49. > :04:51.the main ones in the UK. Martin McGuinness is resigning as Northern
:04:52. > :04:55.Ireland's to be the First Minister. This matters not only because it
:04:56. > :04:59.shows the depth of Northern Ireland's political crisis but
:05:00. > :05:02.because of the man himself. Martin McGuinness was crucial to the IRA
:05:03. > :05:04.ending its armed campaign to Northern Ireland to join the
:05:05. > :05:08.Republic of Ireland. This resignation is over the handling of
:05:09. > :05:12.the controversial energy scheme. More of that in a minute. Mr
:05:13. > :05:16.McGuinness gave a statement, he says an election is needed, that seems
:05:17. > :05:25.likely by the way. This is more of what he said. We in Sinn Fein will
:05:26. > :05:30.not tolerate the arrogance. Sinn Fein wants equality and respect for
:05:31. > :05:38.everyone, and that's what this process must be about. So today I
:05:39. > :05:46.have told Arlene Foster that I have tendered my resignation, effective
:05:47. > :05:54.from 5pm today. So I believe today is the right time to call a halt to
:05:55. > :05:57.the DUP's arrogance. The BBC's Stephen Walker in our Belfast
:05:58. > :06:05.newsroom has been helping me describe the controversy at the
:06:06. > :06:08.centre of this story. What is at the heart of this dispute is a story
:06:09. > :06:12.that has been going on in Northern Ireland for a number of months. This
:06:13. > :06:17.renewable heating scheme was set up, the idea was it would move one form
:06:18. > :06:24.of energy to renewable forms of energy but the tariffs were set too
:06:25. > :06:28.high. It ended up potentially costing the executive ?400 million,
:06:29. > :06:33.so a big mistake was made. Then there was lots of criticism over the
:06:34. > :06:36.way that that scheme was handled. Here in Northern Ireland we have
:06:37. > :06:40.this power sharing executive, we have the DUP as the lead unionist
:06:41. > :06:45.parties sharing power with Sinn Fein, so we have Arlene Foster as
:06:46. > :06:47.First Minister and Martin McGuinness as Deputy First Minister. That is
:06:48. > :06:51.the way the government has to work, and if you haven't got a First
:06:52. > :06:54.Minister or a Deputy First Minister, then the power-sharing can't work,
:06:55. > :06:59.and what we have seen today is Martin McGuinness standing down as
:07:00. > :07:02.Deputy First Minister, because he wanted the First Minister to step
:07:03. > :07:07.aside whilst an investigation took place. She refused to step aside, so
:07:08. > :07:12.he has now decided to step aside himself, which effectively means the
:07:13. > :07:16.end of power-sharing in Northern Ireland. And as such, Stephen, is
:07:17. > :07:21.this sufficiently serious that it is a threat to the longer-term
:07:22. > :07:24.political process in Northern Ireland? It certainly means that
:07:25. > :07:27.power-sharing will end, unless there is a replacement for Martin
:07:28. > :07:31.McGuinness. Under the legislation there has to be a replacement within
:07:32. > :07:35.seven days, but Sinn Fein has made it clear there won't be a
:07:36. > :07:38.replacement. Then it. The British government, the Secretary of State
:07:39. > :07:42.then would have to call elections. He has said today he will look at
:07:43. > :07:46.this in terms of a reasonable time period. People are potentially
:07:47. > :07:49.guessing that there could be elections to the Northern Ireland
:07:50. > :07:51.assembly potentially in March, so basically unless there is the
:07:52. > :07:56.Romantic movement in the next few days, we are witnessing the end of
:07:57. > :07:59.this current arrangement between the DUP and Sinn Fein, and then we would
:08:00. > :08:05.see those fresh elections to a new assembly. Much more background on
:08:06. > :08:11.the situation in Northern Ireland available from BBC news online
:08:12. > :08:16.whenever you wanted. Time for Outside Source sport. Let's talk
:08:17. > :08:20.about Cristiano Ronaldo, who has won Fifa's inaugural best Player of the
:08:21. > :08:23.Year award. Will Perry is live with us from the BBC Sport Centre. No
:08:24. > :08:26.great surprise here, I think the thing of more interest as this is a
:08:27. > :08:31.brand-new award when we already have one that does much the same thing.
:08:32. > :08:34.Yes, we should explain that, because for the past six years the world's
:08:35. > :08:40.best player has received what was called the Fifa cosmic Ballon d'Or
:08:41. > :08:47.award. A version of that prize has been awarded from France football's
:08:48. > :08:54.magazine since 1956. Fifa end of the Association of that, instead --
:08:55. > :08:58.ended their association with that. 2016, what a year for Cristiano
:08:59. > :09:01.Ronaldo, as well as scoring that decisive penalty in the shoot out to
:09:02. > :09:06.win the Champions League, he captained Portugal to Euro 2016
:09:07. > :09:11.glory and was recognised with his fourth Ballon d'Or in December. In
:09:12. > :09:16.has something Messi doesn't, which he will enjoy, the honour of being
:09:17. > :09:19.named Best Fifa men's player. The former Manchester United forward had
:09:20. > :09:28.been the favourite in the weeks building up to this. 44 games, 42
:09:29. > :09:32.goals, 14 assists, the top scorer in the Champions League last coracle
:09:33. > :09:37.moustache macro classes and, and he's still only 31. The best men's
:09:38. > :09:44.coach today, Claudio Ranieri, the Leicester City manager. What a yet
:09:45. > :09:47.it has been, recognised -- what a year it has been, taking Leicester
:09:48. > :09:51.City to that and precedent it Premier League title last season. I
:09:52. > :09:54.also want to talk about something else Fifa is up to. We reported
:09:55. > :09:58.before about its plans to expand the World Cup. This is a reporter with
:09:59. > :10:17.the Wall Street Journal. This is what Diego Maradona thinks
:10:18. > :10:21.about the idea. TRANSLATION: I am delighted by Gianni's initiative,
:10:22. > :10:26.because it gives chances to teams that otherwise would start the
:10:27. > :10:30.qualifiers knowing they had no chance of getting to the World Cup.
:10:31. > :10:35.It gives each country the dream, and it renews the passion for football.
:10:36. > :10:41.As far as I'm concerned, it's a fantastic idea. Diego Maradona's
:10:42. > :10:45.keen. There are quite a few other people who aren't so keen. It is
:10:46. > :10:51.hugely controversial, this, but we have some fresh news from Richard
:10:52. > :10:54.Conway out in Zurich for us tonight. Fifa's council are expected as we
:10:55. > :10:58.understand to approve that expansion of the World Cup to 48 teams
:10:59. > :11:03.tomorrow. They have considered five different options. This is the big
:11:04. > :11:10.new idea of the Fifa president, Gianni Infantino, making his
:11:11. > :11:14.statement as president. Europe's big clubs, which provide around 80% of
:11:15. > :11:16.the players at the World Cup have objected to the reforms, believing
:11:17. > :11:20.that there are already too many games being played throughout the
:11:21. > :11:24.course of the season. But a confidential Fifa report that has
:11:25. > :11:28.been seen by the BBC, it proposes that an enlarged competition could
:11:29. > :11:32.be staged in 32 days, a finalist taking part in seven games, and that
:11:33. > :11:36.is the same number as under that current format. That analysis also
:11:37. > :11:39.contends that the quality of football, and this is something that
:11:40. > :11:42.has been questioned, that the quality of football on display would
:11:43. > :11:47.not be watered down with the 16 extra teams. Fifa would expect a 1
:11:48. > :11:56.billion US dollar increase in revenue, the huge, and interestingly
:11:57. > :12:04.it lists how Fifa are looking to make all games including qualifying
:12:05. > :12:10.B1 by winning or losing, now draws, so penalty shoot outs. This is a
:12:11. > :12:14.tweet from ESPN, telling us it is Clemson against Alabama, the
:12:15. > :12:17.rematch, a year in the making, the national championship is up for the
:12:18. > :12:22.grabs. I know this is American college football, it is a big deal.
:12:23. > :12:27.When we asked Anthony circa about US politics, he said he had spent his
:12:28. > :12:31.whole life gathering enough expertise to help us out on this.
:12:32. > :12:35.Hello, let's leave Donald Trump to one side for a moment. For people
:12:36. > :12:38.watching who know nothing about college football, tekkers from the
:12:39. > :12:44.start of this game. All right, as you said, this is a rematch from
:12:45. > :12:49.last year, where Alabama defeated Clemson in a high-scoring shoot out.
:12:50. > :12:53.Both teams are a year wider and Clemson has a quarterback who is a
:12:54. > :12:58.junior, a runner-up for the highest level Trophy in college athletics.
:12:59. > :13:01.Alabama are still considered the favourite, they have won four
:13:02. > :13:05.National Championships in the past eight years, but a lot of wags are
:13:06. > :13:09.picking Clemson to pick an upset. This is only the third year that
:13:10. > :13:13.there has been a play-off in college football, so you are talking about
:13:14. > :13:17.the World Cup going to 48 teams. Well, three years ago there were no
:13:18. > :13:21.teams, just two teams playing in a quasi national championship. Now it
:13:22. > :13:26.is a four team two-game play-off, so I am going to be watching tonight,
:13:27. > :13:30.I'm looking forward to it. Where does college football fit into
:13:31. > :13:33.America's sporting pecking order? Everyone knows the National Football
:13:34. > :13:39.League is the most popular, most watched sport in the US, but number
:13:40. > :13:43.two isn't baseball or NBA basketball, it actually is college
:13:44. > :13:49.football. Last year, the National championship game, 35mm Americans
:13:50. > :13:55.watched the year before when Ohio state won their national
:13:56. > :14:00.championship. -- 35mm Americans. It is very popular, the stadiums across
:14:01. > :14:08.the country regularly draw upwards of 90,000, 100,000 fans. My of box
:14:09. > :14:12.-- -- my hometown, they sell it out regularly in Texas. Across the south
:14:13. > :14:16.it is a very big sport where professional sports are not quite as
:14:17. > :14:19.prominent, at least in Austin, the University of Texas longhorns where
:14:20. > :14:23.the game in town. It is the longhorns, I have been there once
:14:24. > :14:27.and everyone is wearing the T-shirt. Enjoy the game, we have asked quite
:14:28. > :14:31.enough view on this programme. Anthony live in Washington, DC. In a
:14:32. > :14:36.feud minutes, actually we will be hearing from someone else based in
:14:37. > :14:40.the newsroom, because Jon Sopel, the BBC's North America editor has made
:14:41. > :14:50.two special reports on President Obama's legacy. I will play you the
:14:51. > :14:55.first of those in a minute. Here in the UK, the girlfriend of a missing
:14:56. > :15:00.RAF serviceman Corey McKeag says he is due to become a father. He
:15:01. > :15:04.disappeared after a night out with friends in Bury St Edmunds. April
:15:05. > :15:13.Oliver, his mother, had been speaking to the BBC. We started off
:15:14. > :15:19.seeing each other, and it was quite casual. We were both seeing other
:15:20. > :15:23.people at the time, and then we sort of lead on to have, stations whereby
:15:24. > :15:29.we thought it was getting serious, and what we going to do, and what
:15:30. > :15:32.plans we had. We know he disappeared at the end of September, how
:15:33. > :15:42.recently had you seen him before then? I had seen him near enough the
:15:43. > :15:46.same week that he had gone missing. Apart from the RAF boys, I think I
:15:47. > :15:51.was one of the last people to see him. Which is quite hard. When he
:15:52. > :15:57.went missing you happen to be away abroad with your family, so when did
:15:58. > :16:01.you here had gone missing? I had only been there literally a few days
:16:02. > :16:07.when I got a call from the RAF boys, asking if I had seen him or heard
:16:08. > :16:12.from him, on the Monday, I think it was. And then that's when I knew
:16:13. > :16:16.that he was obviously missing, and then I very quickly got a plane
:16:17. > :16:21.home. And then how long after that did you then discover that you were
:16:22. > :16:25.pregnant? I found out I was pregnant a couple of weeks after I came back,
:16:26. > :16:29.obviously after going through police interviews. Unfortunately I have had
:16:30. > :16:33.to make a massive decision by myself. I mean I was hoping and
:16:34. > :16:35.praying that we would find out some information that he would come home
:16:36. > :16:40.so we could make the decision together. We have had, stations
:16:41. > :16:45.about children and what we wanted in the past, and it was something that
:16:46. > :16:50.I hope that he would be here to help me make the decision, but
:16:51. > :16:57.unfortunately he isn't. And this will be first grandchild? It will,
:16:58. > :17:03.yeah. Should be a occasion for you. Can you feel any joy about it at the
:17:04. > :17:07.moment? I was at the scan with April the other day, and I don't think
:17:08. > :17:16.anybody could see that and not be affected by it. But it is incredibly
:17:17. > :17:21.difficult to bounce my head, as it is for April as well, from the
:17:22. > :17:22.excitement of a new baby, to what we're actually trying to focus on
:17:23. > :17:37.just now, and that is Cory. Our lead story comes from
:17:38. > :17:41.Washington, DC. The US president elect Donald Trump intends to
:17:42. > :17:44.appoint his son-in-law Jared Cook Schmid as a senior adviser to the
:17:45. > :17:49.White House. This is what you have got coming up after Outside Source.
:17:50. > :17:52.If you're watching outside the UK, World News America next with a
:17:53. > :17:57.report on Brazil's government's plan to build dozens of huge
:17:58. > :18:01.hydroelectric dams in the Amazon. If you are watching here in the UK, the
:18:02. > :18:10.news at ten with Huw Edwards, who will have more on Northern Ireland
:18:11. > :18:16.was Mac deepening political crisis. Barrett Obama's presidency ends on
:18:17. > :18:22.January 20. Our North America editor Jon Sobel has made two special
:18:23. > :18:24.reports to look at his legacy. Tomorrow's will consider foreign
:18:25. > :18:29.policy. Today's is about what the president has achieved at home.
:18:30. > :18:37.It wasn't just the hope when Barack Obama came to office, it was the
:18:38. > :18:41.wild expectation too. That the country's problems would be solved
:18:42. > :18:44.at a stroke. That the first African-American president would
:18:45. > :18:51.usher in a post-racial era. No more black America or white America, just
:18:52. > :18:54.the United States of America. But the lingering vestiges of that dream
:18:55. > :18:58.disappeared in the summer of 2014, in clouds of tear gas in a
:18:59. > :19:02.nondescript suburb of St Louis Mazzarri called Ferguson. An unarmed
:19:03. > :19:08.black man had been shot by a white police officer. It was a pattern
:19:09. > :19:11.that would become all-too-familiar. In Charleston, South Carolina,
:19:12. > :19:16.Walter Scott had been pulled over for a minor motoring offence.
:19:17. > :19:19.Footage captures the white police officer who stopped shooting him in
:19:20. > :19:26.the back several times before he dies. The policeman claimed self
:19:27. > :19:31.defence. At his trial, which ended last month, the jury was unable to
:19:32. > :19:35.reach a verdict. The court therefore must declare a mistrial. Another
:19:36. > :19:39.symbol for the black community that things haven't changed. I think his
:19:40. > :19:47.legacy to him is more important right now to paint a picture that he
:19:48. > :19:52.did a real good job in America. But most black folks are very
:19:53. > :19:57.disappointed, because they feel otherwise. The issue of race and
:19:58. > :20:01.another of America must migrate intractable social problems, gun
:20:02. > :20:04.violence, came together to horrific effect inside this famous
:20:05. > :20:08.African-American church in Charleston. A white supremacist who,
:20:09. > :20:12.with his string of drug convictions, should have never been able to
:20:13. > :20:18.purchase a gun, walked inside a Bible study group and killed eight
:20:19. > :20:21.worshippers and the pastor in cold blood. Barrett Obama had always
:20:22. > :20:27.seemed reluctant to define himself as a black president, preoccupied by
:20:28. > :20:32.racial issues, but after these shootings, that changed, as he came
:20:33. > :20:38.to Charleston and showed how he felt the community's pain.
:20:39. > :20:56.# Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound, that saved a wretch like me.
