:00:08. > :00:10.BBC News app. I will be back in a couple of minutes. Goodbye.

:00:11. > :00:17.It is that time of day one we take a look at some interesting weather

:00:18. > :00:22.events around the world. There is plenty going on. First we had to

:00:23. > :00:25.south-east Asia and the north-east monsoon is going through an active

:00:26. > :00:31.phase. So we've seen some heavy rain over recent days and weeks across

:00:32. > :00:34.parts of Indonesia, Malaysia, the southern Philippines. More in the

:00:35. > :00:41.way of heavy rain over the next few days especially along the Malay

:00:42. > :00:46.Peninsula, Vietnam and Sumatra. Further north some snow showers in

:00:47. > :00:51.Japan especially around the west coast. On the other side of the

:00:52. > :00:55.Pacific, areas of low pressure, both drifting in allegedly north-east.

:00:56. > :00:59.Snow showers moving out of California for instance towards the

:01:00. > :01:03.midwest. And also this low pressure bringing freezing rain and snow as

:01:04. > :01:08.it moves to the north of New York, combined with a strong destructive

:01:09. > :01:12.win. For the likes of Montreal seeing destructive weather through

:01:13. > :01:17.Tuesday but to the south of that, things looking much quieter. The

:01:18. > :01:20.satellite image of Africa shows Becky Ayres about buildings from

:01:21. > :01:24.central Africa, we had heavy rain and flooding across Rwanda for

:01:25. > :01:30.instance. Those heavy showers will drift slowly affecting Congo and

:01:31. > :01:33.Gabon over the next few days and also heavy downpours for South

:01:34. > :01:36.Africa and gusty wind along the north coast of Africa. Further north

:01:37. > :01:44.for Europe, temperatures on Tuesday morning widely below freezing, and

:01:45. > :01:49.ongoing problems with widespread winter fog and passed round. That

:01:50. > :01:52.could be slowed to clear where we have high pressure across central

:01:53. > :01:57.and northern parts but further south low pressure still lingering in the

:01:58. > :01:59.Mediterranean. Looking pretty unsettled on Tuesday for Italy,

:02:00. > :02:06.Greece and Turkey. Here we expect further heavy rain showers, snow

:02:07. > :02:08.over the hills and blustery wind but further north, high-pressure holding

:02:09. > :02:17.on and quite a lot of settled weather on the cards. For the UK,

:02:18. > :02:20.looking still quite cold and murky but with high-pressure sticking

:02:21. > :02:25.around, relatively dry over the next few days. We could see some dense

:02:26. > :02:30.fog on Tuesday across much of England and Wales, so reduced

:02:31. > :02:34.visibility during the morning. Further north west last fog but some

:02:35. > :02:39.drizzly rain for Northern Ireland and Scotland. Across England and

:02:40. > :02:42.Wales the fog gradually lifts and clears away by the afternoon

:02:43. > :02:50.allowing some sunnier spells to break through. Around 10 degrees in

:02:51. > :02:53.Belfast. And through the middle part of the week, the dry thing

:02:54. > :02:58.continues, things brighter with less in the way fog by Thursday. More

:02:59. > :04:13.details on the weather for the week ahead right here in half an hour.

:04:14. > :04:19.Is an Ros Atkins with Outside Source, these are some of the main

:04:20. > :04:22.news stories in the BBC newsroom, President Trump has marked his first

:04:23. > :04:27.Monday in office by signing an executive order to pull the US out

:04:28. > :04:31.of a giant free-trade deal with Pacific Rim countries including

:04:32. > :04:37.China, is also reinstated a ban on providing US federal groups that

:04:38. > :04:42.discuss abortion as a family planning option, we will be talking

:04:43. > :04:47.about that in a moment. The second appearance of Sean Spicer the White

:04:48. > :04:50.House press secretary, this time he took questions and promises good

:04:51. > :04:55.relations with journalists after what was perhaps a rocky start. We

:04:56. > :04:59.are going to do our best every time, I will come out and tell you the

:05:00. > :05:05.facts as we know them and if we make a mistake we will do our best to

:05:06. > :05:11.correct it. And the UK's best known woman boxer Nicola Adams is turning

:05:12. > :05:24.professional. We will fill you in on that.

:05:25. > :05:30.President Trump told us a few weeks back when this Monday would be the

:05:31. > :05:34.day that he was able to get on with business and so it has proved, he

:05:35. > :05:40.took a big swipe at global free trade and has put a curb on

:05:41. > :05:47.government hiring and reinstated a ban on funding for abortion related

:05:48. > :05:52.services overseas. We can speak to Barbara live from the State

:05:53. > :05:56.Department. Can you explain more about which organisations were

:05:57. > :06:02.funded and what work they were doing and where? This is a global order.

:06:03. > :06:08.It is about US funded groups that are not allowed under the

:06:09. > :06:12.circumstances now to perform abortions or to have any referrals

:06:13. > :06:21.or counselling. So no abortion services whatsoever. It has to do

:06:22. > :06:24.with women's international non-governmental organisations that

:06:25. > :06:29.receive money from the US government. This is something that

:06:30. > :06:32.changes with administrations so when Republican administrations come in

:06:33. > :06:41.they tend to issue this restriction on funds to organisations that offer

:06:42. > :06:45.restrictions and whether Democrats come in they revoke this. So Mr

:06:46. > :06:50.Trump was right with tradition in this case, it is often the first

:06:51. > :06:54.thing that a president does, to mark down how he or she will approach the

:06:55. > :07:01.issue of abortion and how it relates to development aid. I saw one US

:07:02. > :07:07.journalist, a well known feminist, no doubt opposed to Mr Trump, saying

:07:08. > :07:12.that it will cost women their lives. Can we be that explicit about the

:07:13. > :07:18.impact of a withdrawal of funding? I don't know in terms of detail at

:07:19. > :07:22.this point but people who offer these services argue that if you

:07:23. > :07:25.don't give women this option especially in developing countries

:07:26. > :07:30.where abortions are not safe and easy, they'll try to do it alone

:07:31. > :07:34.they will die in childbirth. It is the argument of why abortion has

:07:35. > :07:41.been made legal in Western countries. So probably you could

:07:42. > :07:45.trace some effect that we, it really is an issue that changes from

:07:46. > :07:48.administration to administration and it is particularly poignant for

:07:49. > :07:52.people like the woman you quoted because just two days ago there was

:07:53. > :07:56.a massive rally here and around the country in support of women's rights

:07:57. > :08:00.come including abortion, so although it is not unusual for a Republic

:08:01. > :08:04.administration to put these restrictions on for development aid

:08:05. > :08:08.with regard to women's health it is something that resonates quite

:08:09. > :08:14.strongly at this point in the Trump administration transition. As you

:08:15. > :08:19.are with us from the State Department, who is in charge there

:08:20. > :08:24.at the moment? There is someone in charge. The number three, Tom

:08:25. > :08:28.Shannon. He's from the previous bet in the station, he is a career

:08:29. > :08:32.diplomat. He is holding the fort until a new Secretary of State is

:08:33. > :08:38.confirmed. We expect a vote shortly in the Senate foreign relations

:08:39. > :08:44.committee about a nominee, Rex Tillerson. It is almost certain he

:08:45. > :08:47.will be approved despite some senators had misgivings, they seem

:08:48. > :08:50.to have come around and said they will support him at least on the

:08:51. > :08:56.Republican side which is enough to get him through, and as the

:08:57. > :09:02.committee confirms, there will be a vote on the full Senate floor we

:09:03. > :09:06.expect sometime this week. Barbara Plett-Usher, live from the State

:09:07. > :09:12.Department, thank you. Barbara will be filling us in from there over the

:09:13. > :09:14.next weeks and months. More about Donald Trump.

:09:15. > :09:17.The White House has reiterated that immigration will be a top priority

:09:18. > :09:20.In the United States, there are hundreds of thousands

:09:21. > :09:23.of young people who were brought into the country illegally

:09:24. > :09:33.The now FORMER President Obama gave them the right to work

:09:34. > :09:35.and study there legally, but Mr Trump has vowed

:09:36. > :09:50.19-year-old Reuben is dreaming big. Taking the subway to his job in the

:09:51. > :09:53.office of a New York lawmaker, he plans a future as a politician.

:09:54. > :09:59.Smuggled here from Honduras by his mother when he was five, he came out

:10:00. > :10:04.of the shadows in the last administration granted him temporary

:10:05. > :10:08.legal status. I felt happy, I felt comfortable, I felt I am finally

:10:09. > :10:14.being accepted in this nation for who I am and what I am doing. This

:10:15. > :10:18.honours student and star of high school debate classes seized the

:10:19. > :10:24.chance to work and go to college. He doesn't know what the future holds

:10:25. > :10:30.now under President Trump. What would it mean for you personally if

:10:31. > :10:35.your work permit was taken away? I would say my voice would be taken

:10:36. > :10:40.away, and my dreams shattered. Marie came to the USA from Guinea as a

:10:41. > :10:45.child and Boston legal status as a teenager. She is worried that the

:10:46. > :10:48.new president might abolish or work permit which enables to be a

:10:49. > :10:54.barrister in Brooklyn and audition for acting roles. What is it like

:10:55. > :11:00.being in limbo not knowing what President Trump will do? For me

:11:01. > :11:08.personally it is a little scary but I'm not a person who believes in

:11:09. > :11:12.giving in to fear. What to do about Reuben and Marie and the hundreds of

:11:13. > :11:17.thousands of people across America is one of the first big test is for

:11:18. > :11:22.President Trump. He was elected to take a tough stance on immigration,

:11:23. > :11:30.he said there would be a solution that makes people happy and proud.

:11:31. > :11:34.What does that mean in practice? Reuben hopes that President Trump

:11:35. > :11:40.will see how invested he and others are in this country. I asked them

:11:41. > :11:46.not to deport people. I asked them to see the good in this programme. I

:11:47. > :11:52.asked them to see that we are the future of this country, that we are

:11:53. > :11:59.the leaders of tomorrow. While Marie who has auditioned for a part in a

:12:00. > :12:03.movie longs to be a US citizen. If there is a path to get there I think

:12:04. > :12:07.a lot of us are willing to do the work, just give us the chance and we

:12:08. > :12:14.will show you. All they can do now is wait to lose their dashed to

:12:15. > :12:18.learn their fate, dreaming of making it in Manhattan, hoping not to be

:12:19. > :12:28.sent back to the undocumented worker of -- the twilight world of the

:12:29. > :12:32.undocumented immigrant. Some big news about Formula 1 to open the

:12:33. > :12:37.sport coverage, the UK number one will play Serena Williams, that

:12:38. > :12:41.sounds good. Very tasty indeed, how great to see a British player in the

:12:42. > :12:44.quarterfinals of the Australian Open. Johanna Konta has been in

:12:45. > :12:49.scintillating form in this tournament, has not dropped one set,

:12:50. > :12:53.she beat Ekaterina Makarova of Russia to make the quarterfinals

:12:54. > :12:59.where she will play Serena Williams, a 22 grand slam champion and the

:13:00. > :13:07.number two seed. But you know what, she has a secret weapon. And this

:13:08. > :13:14.would be in the form of her coach, Wim Fissette. He is a new coach for

:13:15. > :13:19.Jo but the last four people he coached beat Serena in important

:13:20. > :13:25.competitions, Kim clusters, Sabine Lisicki in Wimbledon, Simona Halep

:13:26. > :13:29.in 2014 and Victoria Azarenka last year in Indian Wells. He hopes that

:13:30. > :13:33.he can coach Johanna Konta and she can beat Serena as well. Johanna

:13:34. > :13:39.Konta has been open about this and says it will be a tough match but

:13:40. > :13:43.says Serena Williams is not unbeatable. So a mouthwatering one.

:13:44. > :13:49.The men's draw is equally exciting because without Andy Murray or

:13:50. > :13:54.Djokovic this one has opened up. Romantic tennis fans are hoping for

:13:55. > :13:59.a potential final between Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer. It could

:14:00. > :14:06.still happen. Nadal booked his place in the last eight. He is a 14 time

:14:07. > :14:11.grand slam champion. He beat Gael Monfils three sets to one in a

:14:12. > :14:15.hard-fought match but ease in the last eight when he faces Milos

:14:16. > :14:20.Raonic of Canada now. He is the top right seed still in the competition.

:14:21. > :14:25.Of course he has been blighted by injury in recent years and so has

:14:26. > :14:27.Roger Federer. This is his first competitive tournament since

:14:28. > :14:33.Wimbledon six months ago, he's been struggling with a knee injury, he

:14:34. > :14:39.the 17th seed in this competition, a 17 time grand slam champion, the

:14:40. > :14:43.next player he faces is Michelle Zverev of Germany who beat Murray a

:14:44. > :14:48.couple of nights ago. We will see if these two men can reach the final.

:14:49. > :14:51.They will be helping to make a statement in Melbourne and prove

:14:52. > :14:56.that they are not posted yet! That should be quite something. Now a

:14:57. > :15:00.quote from Bernie Ecclestone coming he says he's proud of the business

:15:01. > :15:05.that he built in the last 40 years and all he has achieved with Formula

:15:06. > :15:09.1. He says he is sure that Chase will execute his role in a way that

:15:10. > :15:16.will benefit the sport. Can you translate? Bernie has been in charge

:15:17. > :15:20.of motorsport for 40 years. He was a team owner before he became the

:15:21. > :15:24.supremo, the de facto chief executive, in charge of the

:15:25. > :15:29.commercial rights of the sport, hugely successful at that. His

:15:30. > :15:33.position was under threat as soon as the new owners were linked with

:15:34. > :15:38.Formula 1, they asked him to step down today, he's been such an

:15:39. > :15:44.integral part of the paddock figures and left his mark on the sport. He

:15:45. > :15:50.says he's been asked to step down by the new CEO and they have confirmed

:15:51. > :15:52.that today. Good to talk to you. That was live from the BBC sports

:15:53. > :15:56.Centre. Another great sports story. Nicola Adams is the UK's

:15:57. > :15:58.best known woman boxer - she's a two time Olympic boxing

:15:59. > :16:01.champion - and today she announced She's signed with

:16:02. > :16:04.promoter Frank Warren. That's worthy of note

:16:05. > :16:06.because as Katie Gornall notes - Frank Warren admits he's not been

:16:07. > :16:12.an advocate of women's boxing in the past and he's now

:16:13. > :16:22."eating humble pie." It is interesting because you have

:16:23. > :16:25.you ever see and mixed martial arts long putting women and men on a

:16:26. > :16:32.relatively equal footing and boxing is behind on that. Let's see if this

:16:33. > :16:37.goes some way towards fixing it. Nicola Adams explains the decision.

:16:38. > :16:42.It was a very difficult decision, the thought of making history again,

:16:43. > :16:49.becoming triple Olympic champion, we have never had one before in Britain

:16:50. > :16:53.so it was tough but there are also goals in the professional ranks to

:16:54. > :16:59.achieve, becoming a world champion and European champion, there are so

:17:00. > :17:05.many goals to achieve in the professional ranks, raising the game

:17:06. > :17:11.again and just hopefully trying to make women's boxing on a par with

:17:12. > :17:16.the men's. I'm sure she will go far, that is Nicola Adams.

:17:17. > :17:18.The New England Patriots will play the Atlanta Falcons

:17:19. > :17:23.It's the ninth Superbowl for the Patriots -

:17:24. > :17:25.They beat the Pittsburgh Steelers 36-17.

:17:26. > :17:27.Here's quarterback Tom Brady talking after the game.

:17:28. > :17:36.I would say we should enjoy this, you never know if you will get these

:17:37. > :17:40.opportunities in life, and fortunately, this team has the

:17:41. > :17:45.opportunity and now we have to try to take advantage. It takes a lot of

:17:46. > :17:51.people and a lot of hard work over the course of many months. This did

:17:52. > :17:58.not start at 640 tonight, it started in April. In a few minutes time will

:17:59. > :18:03.turn to a story we've been covering every day for weeks, the situation

:18:04. > :18:06.in the Gambia, former President Yahya Jammeh finally accepting

:18:07. > :18:10.defeat and leaving the country. There is confusion over whether

:18:11. > :18:13.millions of dollars are missing or not. Our correspondent was at the

:18:14. > :18:19.airport to see that plane take off. UK Government scientists are warning

:18:20. > :18:21.that overcooked potatoes, toast and crisps could increase

:18:22. > :18:24.the risk of developing cancer. The Food Standards Agency says

:18:25. > :18:27.a potentially harmful compound called acrylamide is produced

:18:28. > :18:30.when starchy foods are roasted, fried or grilled for too long

:18:31. > :18:38.at high temperatures. However, cancer research charities

:18:39. > :18:40.have questioned the evidence. Our Health Correspondent Dominic

:18:41. > :18:49.Hughes has the details. This story has been one of the most

:18:50. > :18:51.read on the BBC website all day long.

:18:52. > :18:56.A nice slice of toast or a crisp roast potato.

:18:57. > :19:02.But do they really carry a risk of causing cancer?

:19:03. > :19:08.Concerns lie with the chemical acrylamide, caused by cooking

:19:09. > :19:14.starchy foods like potatoes, bread, cakes and biscuits.

:19:15. > :19:20.Now, a major public health campaign by the Food Standards Agency,

:19:21. > :19:23.building on years of research, says studies in mice suggest

:19:24. > :19:27.The FSA says while the risk in humans is hard to judge,

:19:28. > :19:29.it makes sense to think about how much we are exposed to.

:19:30. > :19:32.To be precautionary and to enable people to help make decisions

:19:33. > :19:35.for themselves, it would be good reason for them to reduce the amount

:19:36. > :19:48.So what exactly is the danger posed by acrylamide and how does it

:19:49. > :19:50.compare to other factors that might cause cancer?

:19:51. > :19:54.4% of all cancers in the UK are thought to be linked

:19:55. > :20:00.to drinking too much alcohol, 5% are associated with being

:20:01. > :20:03.overweight or obese, and an estimated 19% of all cancers

:20:04. > :20:04.are caused by exposure to tobacco smoke.

:20:05. > :20:06.When it comes to acrylamide, the chemical that's produced

:20:07. > :20:09.in burnt toast, well, there is no proven link

:20:10. > :20:14.to cancer in humans, and that has led some experts

:20:15. > :20:16.to suggest there is no real danger to public health.

:20:17. > :20:19.I think there is a risk that public health advice like this which can't

:20:20. > :20:23.put a number on either the current harms or the benefits of people

:20:24. > :20:32.changing their behaviour is, could be damaging to people's trust

:20:33. > :20:34.in that public health advice because it is important what we eat.

:20:35. > :20:37.Obesity is linked to 18,000 cancers a year in this country.

:20:38. > :20:40.And it would be a shame if people became sceptical

:20:41. > :20:43.And scepticism, too, from some cafe customers today

:20:44. > :20:45.A prudent precaution or an overreaction?

:20:46. > :20:49.The advice, if you want to take it, is to bin the burnt toast.

:20:50. > :21:05.Ros Atkins with Outside Source from the BBC newsroom. Our lead story

:21:06. > :21:09.involves President jump at the beginning of his first full week in

:21:10. > :21:13.the White House, he has already signed an executive order to

:21:14. > :21:17.withdraw the USA from an international trade deal from

:21:18. > :21:22.several countries including China. If you are watching outside the UK

:21:23. > :21:26.it is world News America next with analysis from Jon Sobel on the

:21:27. > :21:31.opening days of the tramp administration. In the UK next is

:21:32. > :21:38.the News at ten with doctors pioneering the use of a small MRI

:21:39. > :21:43.brain scanner to be used on premature babies, they have been

:21:44. > :21:46.speaking to Fergus Walsh of the BBC. Let's do as we've done every day for

:21:47. > :21:51.the last couple of weeks, turn to the Gambia in West Africa.

:21:52. > :21:53.Its long-term leader Yahya Jammeh finally gave up

:21:54. > :21:57.Now, new President Adama Barrow's team is claiming eleven million

:21:58. > :22:08.These claims, however, have not been verified.

:22:09. > :22:17.Within the period of two weeks alone, nearly 500 million Dalasis

:22:18. > :22:20.were withdrawn by the former president, the government

:22:21. > :22:31.That's a lot of money, considering that we spend

:22:32. > :22:35.about 200 million Dalasis on required expenditure

:22:36. > :22:37.relating to payment of civil service and so forth.

:22:38. > :22:44.I needed some help sifting through this story.

:22:45. > :22:46.Earlier I spoke to Alastair Leithead in the capital Banjul -

:22:47. > :22:48.he worked through these claims with me.

:22:49. > :22:51.We just had a statement in the last hour from the President's

:22:52. > :23:03.And he said that they had charged the Inspector General of Police

:23:04. > :23:05.with going round to all the different heads of the civil

:23:06. > :23:07.service and requesting information, anything missing, anything wrong.

:23:08. > :23:10.And he said he was told by the Central bank that there

:23:11. > :23:12.was nothing missing, that everything is open

:23:13. > :23:15.as normal and they are working as they would normally do,

:23:16. > :23:26.waiting the arrival and the guidance of the new president.

:23:27. > :23:29.That seems a direct contradiction to what the new President's aide

:23:30. > :23:31.was saying, over in Dakar, that clip that you just played.

:23:32. > :23:38.I think what is interesting, in what he said is that

:23:39. > :23:40.until we actually get into power and start looking through what is

:23:41. > :23:47.going on, we cannot establish whether or not money is missing

:23:48. > :23:50.unless someone will forward that it is and in which case it goes

:23:51. > :23:54.The police launch a criminal investigation, and then those

:23:55. > :23:56.responsible are accused and tried and if found guilty

:23:57. > :24:00.Until that point, he was clear to state they cannot make those

:24:01. > :24:01.kinds of allegations as an executive.

:24:02. > :24:09.And given that the former president has left and given their foreign

:24:10. > :24:10.troops in the capital, supportive troops, why

:24:11. > :24:23.His spokesman would not give us an answer to that apart from to say

:24:24. > :24:25.he wants to make sure the security in place to ensure that

:24:26. > :24:28.when he arrives that he has somewhere to live, that is secure,

:24:29. > :24:31.and I think really the military, the police that were loyal

:24:32. > :24:34.to the former president for so long, I think they're making sure

:24:35. > :24:36.that they are now loyal to the new president.

:24:37. > :24:38.Perhaps he is a bit nervous about that.

:24:39. > :24:47.But the welcome the Senegalese troops got as they drove

:24:48. > :24:50.into State House was a welcome fit for a president.

:24:51. > :24:52.People were just very happy to see these troops arriving,

:24:53. > :25:02.to see really an opportunity that they could actually celebrate

:25:03. > :25:08.the fact that their will, as shown in the election, had come to be

:25:09. > :25:11.after so much waiting and uncertainty.

:25:12. > :25:14.And the fear that there was going to be fighting

:25:15. > :25:17.if the former President did not leave the country, I think

:25:18. > :25:19.they will be extremely happy if the president arrived.

:25:20. > :25:22.But the timings for that, we do not know as yet,

:25:23. > :25:25.whether it is going to be tomorrow, the day after, or at a later date.

:25:26. > :25:28.I think people here would like to see him sooner rather than later.

:25:29. > :25:32.We have heard stories from Kazakhstan and the UK. Next,

:25:33. > :25:38.Hungary. It's been holding a day of mourning.

:25:39. > :25:42.killed in a bus crash on their way home from a school

:25:43. > :25:46.There's been particular focus on the efforts of a teacher

:25:47. > :25:48.who saved many people on board but who lost his own

:25:49. > :25:57.A country in mourning. Both Hungary's president and Prime

:25:58. > :26:03.Minister paid tribute on Monday following Friday's tragic bus crash.

:26:04. > :26:06.56 people had been on the bus when it crashed and burst into flames in

:26:07. > :26:12.northern Italy. The group were on their way home from a ski holiday,

:26:13. > :26:16.the victims mostly students aged between 14 and 18. On Sunday

:26:17. > :26:22.Hungary's Foreign Minister said it could take days to identify the

:26:23. > :26:25.bodies because of severe burns. TRANSLATION: Once the shock is gone

:26:26. > :26:31.the losses become even more tormenting. Based on the reports

:26:32. > :26:35.from the scene, the situation has become harder as we begin the most

:26:36. > :26:43.painful process, identifying the body. Over the weekend hundreds of

:26:44. > :26:49.people attended a candlelit vigil outside the school building, praying

:26:50. > :26:54.for the victims, stand by what happened. The first of those injured

:26:55. > :26:58.in the tragedy were transferred from Verona hospitals to Budapest to

:26:59. > :27:03.continue their treatment. Amongst the survivors a teacher and his wife

:27:04. > :27:09.credited with rescuing many pupils lost their own children. It is not

:27:10. > :27:13.clear why the bus left the road. In a day of national mourning schools

:27:14. > :27:14.and official buildings across Hungary are flying back to egg black

:27:15. > :27:31.flags to mark the nation's grief. This is the website of the Dutch

:27:32. > :27:44.premier list's party. If you went on it, this is what you would read.

:27:45. > :27:48.Let's start with the letter, printed in black for maximum impact, an

:27:49. > :27:59.uncompromising message from a man famous for his consensus politics.

:28:00. > :28:04.Yahya Jammeh says Dutch people are fed up with those who come and abuse

:28:05. > :28:09.the freedoms they sought. While it's addressed to all Dutch people there

:28:10. > :28:11.is a clear intended target. And in those accompanying interview he

:28:12. > :28:17.talks about the case of a man who applied to be a bus driver but

:28:18. > :28:21.refused to shake women's hands. Mr Rutte says that is simply not

:28:22. > :28:28.acceptable, to not accept this culture even when it goes against

:28:29. > :28:32.someone's religion. The leader of the Freedom Party has tweeted his

:28:33. > :28:36.response accusing Yahya Jammeh of trying to deceive the voters before

:28:37. > :28:44.March elections. Budget he has accused Mr Rutte. He says the Prime

:28:45. > :28:47.Minister is precisely over an asylum tsunami of mass immigration and was

:28:48. > :28:51.caught in the manner of open borders. This has given a clear

:28:52. > :28:55.indication of two of the major issues expected to dominate these

:28:56. > :29:00.elections in less than two months, immigration and the EU. They are

:29:01. > :29:06.also being seen as a test of the populist ability to translate poll

:29:07. > :29:08.figures into actual votes. And ends this edition of Outside Source. See

:29:09. > :29:11.you tomorrow. Bye bye.
