BBC News app. I will be back in a couple of minutes. Goodbye. | :00:08. | :00:10. | |
It is that time of day one we take a look at some interesting weather | :00:11. | :00:17. | |
events around the world. There is plenty going on. First we had to | :00:18. | :00:22. | |
south-east Asia and the north-east monsoon is going through an active | :00:23. | :00:25. | |
phase. So we've seen some heavy rain over recent days and weeks across | :00:26. | :00:31. | |
parts of Indonesia, Malaysia, the southern Philippines. More in the | :00:32. | :00:34. | |
way of heavy rain over the next few days especially along the Malay | :00:35. | :00:41. | |
Peninsula, Vietnam and Sumatra. Further north some snow showers in | :00:42. | :00:46. | |
Japan especially around the west coast. On the other side of the | :00:47. | :00:51. | |
Pacific, areas of low pressure, both drifting in allegedly north-east. | :00:52. | :00:55. | |
Snow showers moving out of California for instance towards the | :00:56. | :00:59. | |
midwest. And also this low pressure bringing freezing rain and snow as | :01:00. | :01:03. | |
it moves to the north of New York, combined with a strong destructive | :01:04. | :01:08. | |
win. For the likes of Montreal seeing destructive weather through | :01:09. | :01:12. | |
Tuesday but to the south of that, things looking much quieter. The | :01:13. | :01:17. | |
satellite image of Africa shows Becky Ayres about buildings from | :01:18. | :01:20. | |
central Africa, we had heavy rain and flooding across Rwanda for | :01:21. | :01:24. | |
instance. Those heavy showers will drift slowly affecting Congo and | :01:25. | :01:30. | |
Gabon over the next few days and also heavy downpours for South | :01:31. | :01:33. | |
Africa and gusty wind along the north coast of Africa. Further north | :01:34. | :01:36. | |
for Europe, temperatures on Tuesday morning widely below freezing, and | :01:37. | :01:44. | |
ongoing problems with widespread winter fog and passed round. That | :01:45. | :01:49. | |
could be slowed to clear where we have high pressure across central | :01:50. | :01:52. | |
and northern parts but further south low pressure still lingering in the | :01:53. | :01:57. | |
Mediterranean. Looking pretty unsettled on Tuesday for Italy, | :01:58. | :01:59. | |
Greece and Turkey. Here we expect further heavy rain showers, snow | :02:00. | :02:06. | |
over the hills and blustery wind but further north, high-pressure holding | :02:07. | :02:08. | |
on and quite a lot of settled weather on the cards. For the UK, | :02:09. | :02:17. | |
looking still quite cold and murky but with high-pressure sticking | :02:18. | :02:20. | |
around, relatively dry over the next few days. We could see some dense | :02:21. | :02:25. | |
fog on Tuesday across much of England and Wales, so reduced | :02:26. | :02:30. | |
visibility during the morning. Further north west last fog but some | :02:31. | :02:34. | |
drizzly rain for Northern Ireland and Scotland. Across England and | :02:35. | :02:39. | |
Wales the fog gradually lifts and clears away by the afternoon | :02:40. | :02:42. | |
allowing some sunnier spells to break through. Around 10 degrees in | :02:43. | :02:50. | |
Belfast. And through the middle part of the week, the dry thing | :02:51. | :02:53. | |
continues, things brighter with less in the way fog by Thursday. More | :02:54. | :02:58. | |
details on the weather for the week ahead right here in half an hour. | :02:59. | :04:13. | |
Is an Ros Atkins with Outside Source, these are some of the main | :04:14. | :04:19. | |
news stories in the BBC newsroom, President Trump has marked his first | :04:20. | :04:22. | |
Monday in office by signing an executive order to pull the US out | :04:23. | :04:27. | |
of a giant free-trade deal with Pacific Rim countries including | :04:28. | :04:31. | |
China, is also reinstated a ban on providing US federal groups that | :04:32. | :04:37. | |
discuss abortion as a family planning option, we will be talking | :04:38. | :04:42. | |
about that in a moment. The second appearance of Sean Spicer the White | :04:43. | :04:47. | |
House press secretary, this time he took questions and promises good | :04:48. | :04:50. | |
relations with journalists after what was perhaps a rocky start. We | :04:51. | :04:55. | |
are going to do our best every time, I will come out and tell you the | :04:56. | :04:59. | |
facts as we know them and if we make a mistake we will do our best to | :05:00. | :05:05. | |
correct it. And the UK's best known woman boxer Nicola Adams is turning | :05:06. | :05:11. | |
professional. We will fill you in on that. | :05:12. | :05:24. | |
President Trump told us a few weeks back when this Monday would be the | :05:25. | :05:30. | |
day that he was able to get on with business and so it has proved, he | :05:31. | :05:34. | |
took a big swipe at global free trade and has put a curb on | :05:35. | :05:40. | |
government hiring and reinstated a ban on funding for abortion related | :05:41. | :05:47. | |
services overseas. We can speak to Barbara live from the State | :05:48. | :05:52. | |
Department. Can you explain more about which organisations were | :05:53. | :05:56. | |
funded and what work they were doing and where? This is a global order. | :05:57. | :06:02. | |
It is about US funded groups that are not allowed under the | :06:03. | :06:08. | |
circumstances now to perform abortions or to have any referrals | :06:09. | :06:12. | |
or counselling. So no abortion services whatsoever. It has to do | :06:13. | :06:21. | |
with women's international non-governmental organisations that | :06:22. | :06:24. | |
receive money from the US government. This is something that | :06:25. | :06:29. | |
changes with administrations so when Republican administrations come in | :06:30. | :06:32. | |
they tend to issue this restriction on funds to organisations that offer | :06:33. | :06:41. | |
restrictions and whether Democrats come in they revoke this. So Mr | :06:42. | :06:45. | |
Trump was right with tradition in this case, it is often the first | :06:46. | :06:50. | |
thing that a president does, to mark down how he or she will approach the | :06:51. | :06:54. | |
issue of abortion and how it relates to development aid. I saw one US | :06:55. | :07:01. | |
journalist, a well known feminist, no doubt opposed to Mr Trump, saying | :07:02. | :07:07. | |
that it will cost women their lives. Can we be that explicit about the | :07:08. | :07:12. | |
impact of a withdrawal of funding? I don't know in terms of detail at | :07:13. | :07:18. | |
this point but people who offer these services argue that if you | :07:19. | :07:22. | |
don't give women this option especially in developing countries | :07:23. | :07:25. | |
where abortions are not safe and easy, they'll try to do it alone | :07:26. | :07:30. | |
they will die in childbirth. It is the argument of why abortion has | :07:31. | :07:34. | |
been made legal in Western countries. So probably you could | :07:35. | :07:41. | |
trace some effect that we, it really is an issue that changes from | :07:42. | :07:45. | |
administration to administration and it is particularly poignant for | :07:46. | :07:48. | |
people like the woman you quoted because just two days ago there was | :07:49. | :07:52. | |
a massive rally here and around the country in support of women's rights | :07:53. | :07:56. | |
come including abortion, so although it is not unusual for a Republic | :07:57. | :08:00. | |
administration to put these restrictions on for development aid | :08:01. | :08:04. | |
with regard to women's health it is something that resonates quite | :08:05. | :08:08. | |
strongly at this point in the Trump administration transition. As you | :08:09. | :08:14. | |
are with us from the State Department, who is in charge there | :08:15. | :08:19. | |
at the moment? There is someone in charge. The number three, Tom | :08:20. | :08:24. | |
Shannon. He's from the previous bet in the station, he is a career | :08:25. | :08:28. | |
diplomat. He is holding the fort until a new Secretary of State is | :08:29. | :08:32. | |
confirmed. We expect a vote shortly in the Senate foreign relations | :08:33. | :08:38. | |
committee about a nominee, Rex Tillerson. It is almost certain he | :08:39. | :08:44. | |
will be approved despite some senators had misgivings, they seem | :08:45. | :08:47. | |
to have come around and said they will support him at least on the | :08:48. | :08:50. | |
Republican side which is enough to get him through, and as the | :08:51. | :08:56. | |
committee confirms, there will be a vote on the full Senate floor we | :08:57. | :09:02. | |
expect sometime this week. Barbara Plett-Usher, live from the State | :09:03. | :09:06. | |
Department, thank you. Barbara will be filling us in from there over the | :09:07. | :09:12. | |
next weeks and months. More about Donald Trump. | :09:13. | :09:14. | |
The White House has reiterated that immigration will be a top priority | :09:15. | :09:17. | |
In the United States, there are hundreds of thousands | :09:18. | :09:20. | |
of young people who were brought into the country illegally | :09:21. | :09:23. | |
The now FORMER President Obama gave them the right to work | :09:24. | :09:33. | |
and study there legally, but Mr Trump has vowed | :09:34. | :09:35. | |
19-year-old Reuben is dreaming big. Taking the subway to his job in the | :09:36. | :09:50. | |
office of a New York lawmaker, he plans a future as a politician. | :09:51. | :09:53. | |
Smuggled here from Honduras by his mother when he was five, he came out | :09:54. | :09:59. | |
of the shadows in the last administration granted him temporary | :10:00. | :10:04. | |
legal status. I felt happy, I felt comfortable, I felt I am finally | :10:05. | :10:08. | |
being accepted in this nation for who I am and what I am doing. This | :10:09. | :10:14. | |
honours student and star of high school debate classes seized the | :10:15. | :10:18. | |
chance to work and go to college. He doesn't know what the future holds | :10:19. | :10:24. | |
now under President Trump. What would it mean for you personally if | :10:25. | :10:30. | |
your work permit was taken away? I would say my voice would be taken | :10:31. | :10:35. | |
away, and my dreams shattered. Marie came to the USA from Guinea as a | :10:36. | :10:40. | |
child and Boston legal status as a teenager. She is worried that the | :10:41. | :10:45. | |
new president might abolish or work permit which enables to be a | :10:46. | :10:48. | |
barrister in Brooklyn and audition for acting roles. What is it like | :10:49. | :10:54. | |
being in limbo not knowing what President Trump will do? For me | :10:55. | :11:00. | |
personally it is a little scary but I'm not a person who believes in | :11:01. | :11:08. | |
giving in to fear. What to do about Reuben and Marie and the hundreds of | :11:09. | :11:12. | |
thousands of people across America is one of the first big test is for | :11:13. | :11:17. | |
President Trump. He was elected to take a tough stance on immigration, | :11:18. | :11:22. | |
he said there would be a solution that makes people happy and proud. | :11:23. | :11:30. | |
What does that mean in practice? Reuben hopes that President Trump | :11:31. | :11:34. | |
will see how invested he and others are in this country. I asked them | :11:35. | :11:40. | |
not to deport people. I asked them to see the good in this programme. I | :11:41. | :11:46. | |
asked them to see that we are the future of this country, that we are | :11:47. | :11:52. | |
the leaders of tomorrow. While Marie who has auditioned for a part in a | :11:53. | :11:59. | |
movie longs to be a US citizen. If there is a path to get there I think | :12:00. | :12:03. | |
a lot of us are willing to do the work, just give us the chance and we | :12:04. | :12:07. | |
will show you. All they can do now is wait to lose their dashed to | :12:08. | :12:14. | |
learn their fate, dreaming of making it in Manhattan, hoping not to be | :12:15. | :12:18. | |
sent back to the undocumented worker of -- the twilight world of the | :12:19. | :12:28. | |
undocumented immigrant. Some big news about Formula 1 to open the | :12:29. | :12:32. | |
sport coverage, the UK number one will play Serena Williams, that | :12:33. | :12:37. | |
sounds good. Very tasty indeed, how great to see a British player in the | :12:38. | :12:41. | |
quarterfinals of the Australian Open. Johanna Konta has been in | :12:42. | :12:44. | |
scintillating form in this tournament, has not dropped one set, | :12:45. | :12:49. | |
she beat Ekaterina Makarova of Russia to make the quarterfinals | :12:50. | :12:53. | |
where she will play Serena Williams, a 22 grand slam champion and the | :12:54. | :12:59. | |
number two seed. But you know what, she has a secret weapon. And this | :13:00. | :13:07. | |
would be in the form of her coach, Wim Fissette. He is a new coach for | :13:08. | :13:14. | |
Jo but the last four people he coached beat Serena in important | :13:15. | :13:19. | |
competitions, Kim clusters, Sabine Lisicki in Wimbledon, Simona Halep | :13:20. | :13:25. | |
in 2014 and Victoria Azarenka last year in Indian Wells. He hopes that | :13:26. | :13:29. | |
he can coach Johanna Konta and she can beat Serena as well. Johanna | :13:30. | :13:33. | |
Konta has been open about this and says it will be a tough match but | :13:34. | :13:39. | |
says Serena Williams is not unbeatable. So a mouthwatering one. | :13:40. | :13:43. | |
The men's draw is equally exciting because without Andy Murray or | :13:44. | :13:49. | |
Djokovic this one has opened up. Romantic tennis fans are hoping for | :13:50. | :13:54. | |
a potential final between Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer. It could | :13:55. | :13:59. | |
still happen. Nadal booked his place in the last eight. He is a 14 time | :14:00. | :14:06. | |
grand slam champion. He beat Gael Monfils three sets to one in a | :14:07. | :14:11. | |
hard-fought match but ease in the last eight when he faces Milos | :14:12. | :14:15. | |
Raonic of Canada now. He is the top right seed still in the competition. | :14:16. | :14:20. | |
Of course he has been blighted by injury in recent years and so has | :14:21. | :14:25. | |
Roger Federer. This is his first competitive tournament since | :14:26. | :14:27. | |
Wimbledon six months ago, he's been struggling with a knee injury, he | :14:28. | :14:33. | |
the 17th seed in this competition, a 17 time grand slam champion, the | :14:34. | :14:39. | |
next player he faces is Michelle Zverev of Germany who beat Murray a | :14:40. | :14:43. | |
couple of nights ago. We will see if these two men can reach the final. | :14:44. | :14:48. | |
They will be helping to make a statement in Melbourne and prove | :14:49. | :14:51. | |
that they are not posted yet! That should be quite something. Now a | :14:52. | :14:56. | |
quote from Bernie Ecclestone coming he says he's proud of the business | :14:57. | :15:00. | |
that he built in the last 40 years and all he has achieved with Formula | :15:01. | :15:05. | |
1. He says he is sure that Chase will execute his role in a way that | :15:06. | :15:09. | |
will benefit the sport. Can you translate? Bernie has been in charge | :15:10. | :15:16. | |
of motorsport for 40 years. He was a team owner before he became the | :15:17. | :15:20. | |
supremo, the de facto chief executive, in charge of the | :15:21. | :15:24. | |
commercial rights of the sport, hugely successful at that. His | :15:25. | :15:29. | |
position was under threat as soon as the new owners were linked with | :15:30. | :15:33. | |
Formula 1, they asked him to step down today, he's been such an | :15:34. | :15:38. | |
integral part of the paddock figures and left his mark on the sport. He | :15:39. | :15:44. | |
says he's been asked to step down by the new CEO and they have confirmed | :15:45. | :15:50. | |
that today. Good to talk to you. That was live from the BBC sports | :15:51. | :15:52. | |
Centre. Another great sports story. Nicola Adams is the UK's | :15:53. | :15:56. | |
best known woman boxer - she's a two time Olympic boxing | :15:57. | :15:58. | |
champion - and today she announced She's signed with | :15:59. | :16:01. | |
promoter Frank Warren. That's worthy of note | :16:02. | :16:04. | |
because as Katie Gornall notes - Frank Warren admits he's not been | :16:05. | :16:06. | |
an advocate of women's boxing in the past and he's now | :16:07. | :16:12. | |
"eating humble pie." It is interesting because you have | :16:13. | :16:22. | |
you ever see and mixed martial arts long putting women and men on a | :16:23. | :16:25. | |
relatively equal footing and boxing is behind on that. Let's see if this | :16:26. | :16:32. | |
goes some way towards fixing it. Nicola Adams explains the decision. | :16:33. | :16:37. | |
It was a very difficult decision, the thought of making history again, | :16:38. | :16:42. | |
becoming triple Olympic champion, we have never had one before in Britain | :16:43. | :16:49. | |
so it was tough but there are also goals in the professional ranks to | :16:50. | :16:53. | |
achieve, becoming a world champion and European champion, there are so | :16:54. | :16:59. | |
many goals to achieve in the professional ranks, raising the game | :17:00. | :17:05. | |
again and just hopefully trying to make women's boxing on a par with | :17:06. | :17:11. | |
the men's. I'm sure she will go far, that is Nicola Adams. | :17:12. | :17:16. | |
The New England Patriots will play the Atlanta Falcons | :17:17. | :17:18. | |
It's the ninth Superbowl for the Patriots - | :17:19. | :17:23. | |
They beat the Pittsburgh Steelers 36-17. | :17:24. | :17:25. | |
Here's quarterback Tom Brady talking after the game. | :17:26. | :17:27. | |
I would say we should enjoy this, you never know if you will get these | :17:28. | :17:36. | |
opportunities in life, and fortunately, this team has the | :17:37. | :17:40. | |
opportunity and now we have to try to take advantage. It takes a lot of | :17:41. | :17:45. | |
people and a lot of hard work over the course of many months. This did | :17:46. | :17:51. | |
not start at 640 tonight, it started in April. In a few minutes time will | :17:52. | :17:58. | |
turn to a story we've been covering every day for weeks, the situation | :17:59. | :18:03. | |
in the Gambia, former President Yahya Jammeh finally accepting | :18:04. | :18:06. | |
defeat and leaving the country. There is confusion over whether | :18:07. | :18:10. | |
millions of dollars are missing or not. Our correspondent was at the | :18:11. | :18:13. | |
airport to see that plane take off. UK Government scientists are warning | :18:14. | :18:19. | |
that overcooked potatoes, toast and crisps could increase | :18:20. | :18:21. | |
the risk of developing cancer. The Food Standards Agency says | :18:22. | :18:24. | |
a potentially harmful compound called acrylamide is produced | :18:25. | :18:27. | |
when starchy foods are roasted, fried or grilled for too long | :18:28. | :18:30. | |
at high temperatures. However, cancer research charities | :18:31. | :18:38. | |
have questioned the evidence. Our Health Correspondent Dominic | :18:39. | :18:40. | |
Hughes has the details. This story has been one of the most | :18:41. | :18:49. | |
read on the BBC website all day long. | :18:50. | :18:51. | |
A nice slice of toast or a crisp roast potato. | :18:52. | :18:56. | |
But do they really carry a risk of causing cancer? | :18:57. | :19:02. | |
Concerns lie with the chemical acrylamide, caused by cooking | :19:03. | :19:08. | |
starchy foods like potatoes, bread, cakes and biscuits. | :19:09. | :19:14. | |
Now, a major public health campaign by the Food Standards Agency, | :19:15. | :19:20. | |
building on years of research, says studies in mice suggest | :19:21. | :19:23. | |
The FSA says while the risk in humans is hard to judge, | :19:24. | :19:27. | |
it makes sense to think about how much we are exposed to. | :19:28. | :19:29. | |
To be precautionary and to enable people to help make decisions | :19:30. | :19:32. | |
for themselves, it would be good reason for them to reduce the amount | :19:33. | :19:35. | |
So what exactly is the danger posed by acrylamide and how does it | :19:36. | :19:48. | |
compare to other factors that might cause cancer? | :19:49. | :19:50. | |
4% of all cancers in the UK are thought to be linked | :19:51. | :19:54. | |
to drinking too much alcohol, 5% are associated with being | :19:55. | :20:00. | |
overweight or obese, and an estimated 19% of all cancers | :20:01. | :20:03. | |
are caused by exposure to tobacco smoke. | :20:04. | :20:04. | |
When it comes to acrylamide, the chemical that's produced | :20:05. | :20:06. | |
in burnt toast, well, there is no proven link | :20:07. | :20:09. | |
to cancer in humans, and that has led some experts | :20:10. | :20:14. | |
to suggest there is no real danger to public health. | :20:15. | :20:16. | |
I think there is a risk that public health advice like this which can't | :20:17. | :20:19. | |
put a number on either the current harms or the benefits of people | :20:20. | :20:23. | |
changing their behaviour is, could be damaging to people's trust | :20:24. | :20:32. | |
in that public health advice because it is important what we eat. | :20:33. | :20:34. | |
Obesity is linked to 18,000 cancers a year in this country. | :20:35. | :20:37. | |
And it would be a shame if people became sceptical | :20:38. | :20:40. | |
And scepticism, too, from some cafe customers today | :20:41. | :20:43. | |
A prudent precaution or an overreaction? | :20:44. | :20:45. | |
The advice, if you want to take it, is to bin the burnt toast. | :20:46. | :20:49. | |
Ros Atkins with Outside Source from the BBC newsroom. Our lead story | :20:50. | :21:05. | |
involves President jump at the beginning of his first full week in | :21:06. | :21:09. | |
the White House, he has already signed an executive order to | :21:10. | :21:13. | |
withdraw the USA from an international trade deal from | :21:14. | :21:17. | |
several countries including China. If you are watching outside the UK | :21:18. | :21:22. | |
it is world News America next with analysis from Jon Sobel on the | :21:23. | :21:26. | |
opening days of the tramp administration. In the UK next is | :21:27. | :21:31. | |
the News at ten with doctors pioneering the use of a small MRI | :21:32. | :21:38. | |
brain scanner to be used on premature babies, they have been | :21:39. | :21:43. | |
speaking to Fergus Walsh of the BBC. Let's do as we've done every day for | :21:44. | :21:46. | |
the last couple of weeks, turn to the Gambia in West Africa. | :21:47. | :21:51. | |
Its long-term leader Yahya Jammeh finally gave up | :21:52. | :21:53. | |
Now, new President Adama Barrow's team is claiming eleven million | :21:54. | :21:57. | |
These claims, however, have not been verified. | :21:58. | :22:08. | |
Within the period of two weeks alone, nearly 500 million Dalasis | :22:09. | :22:17. | |
were withdrawn by the former president, the government | :22:18. | :22:20. | |
That's a lot of money, considering that we spend | :22:21. | :22:31. | |
about 200 million Dalasis on required expenditure | :22:32. | :22:35. | |
relating to payment of civil service and so forth. | :22:36. | :22:37. | |
I needed some help sifting through this story. | :22:38. | :22:44. | |
Earlier I spoke to Alastair Leithead in the capital Banjul - | :22:45. | :22:46. | |
he worked through these claims with me. | :22:47. | :22:48. | |
We just had a statement in the last hour from the President's | :22:49. | :22:51. | |
And he said that they had charged the Inspector General of Police | :22:52. | :23:03. | |
with going round to all the different heads of the civil | :23:04. | :23:05. | |
service and requesting information, anything missing, anything wrong. | :23:06. | :23:07. | |
And he said he was told by the Central bank that there | :23:08. | :23:10. | |
was nothing missing, that everything is open | :23:11. | :23:12. | |
as normal and they are working as they would normally do, | :23:13. | :23:15. | |
waiting the arrival and the guidance of the new president. | :23:16. | :23:26. | |
That seems a direct contradiction to what the new President's aide | :23:27. | :23:29. | |
was saying, over in Dakar, that clip that you just played. | :23:30. | :23:31. | |
I think what is interesting, in what he said is that | :23:32. | :23:38. | |
until we actually get into power and start looking through what is | :23:39. | :23:40. | |
going on, we cannot establish whether or not money is missing | :23:41. | :23:47. | |
unless someone will forward that it is and in which case it goes | :23:48. | :23:50. | |
The police launch a criminal investigation, and then those | :23:51. | :23:54. | |
responsible are accused and tried and if found guilty | :23:55. | :23:56. | |
Until that point, he was clear to state they cannot make those | :23:57. | :24:00. | |
kinds of allegations as an executive. | :24:01. | :24:01. | |
And given that the former president has left and given their foreign | :24:02. | :24:09. | |
troops in the capital, supportive troops, why | :24:10. | :24:10. | |
His spokesman would not give us an answer to that apart from to say | :24:11. | :24:23. | |
he wants to make sure the security in place to ensure that | :24:24. | :24:25. | |
when he arrives that he has somewhere to live, that is secure, | :24:26. | :24:28. | |
and I think really the military, the police that were loyal | :24:29. | :24:31. | |
to the former president for so long, I think they're making sure | :24:32. | :24:34. | |
that they are now loyal to the new president. | :24:35. | :24:36. | |
Perhaps he is a bit nervous about that. | :24:37. | :24:38. | |
But the welcome the Senegalese troops got as they drove | :24:39. | :24:47. | |
into State House was a welcome fit for a president. | :24:48. | :24:50. | |
People were just very happy to see these troops arriving, | :24:51. | :24:52. | |
to see really an opportunity that they could actually celebrate | :24:53. | :25:02. | |
the fact that their will, as shown in the election, had come to be | :25:03. | :25:08. | |
after so much waiting and uncertainty. | :25:09. | :25:11. | |
And the fear that there was going to be fighting | :25:12. | :25:14. | |
if the former President did not leave the country, I think | :25:15. | :25:17. | |
they will be extremely happy if the president arrived. | :25:18. | :25:19. | |
But the timings for that, we do not know as yet, | :25:20. | :25:22. | |
whether it is going to be tomorrow, the day after, or at a later date. | :25:23. | :25:25. | |
I think people here would like to see him sooner rather than later. | :25:26. | :25:28. | |
We have heard stories from Kazakhstan and the UK. Next, | :25:29. | :25:32. | |
Hungary. It's been holding a day of mourning. | :25:33. | :25:38. | |
killed in a bus crash on their way home from a school | :25:39. | :25:42. | |
There's been particular focus on the efforts of a teacher | :25:43. | :25:46. | |
who saved many people on board but who lost his own | :25:47. | :25:48. | |
A country in mourning. Both Hungary's president and Prime | :25:49. | :25:57. | |
Minister paid tribute on Monday following Friday's tragic bus crash. | :25:58. | :26:03. | |
56 people had been on the bus when it crashed and burst into flames in | :26:04. | :26:06. | |
northern Italy. The group were on their way home from a ski holiday, | :26:07. | :26:12. | |
the victims mostly students aged between 14 and 18. On Sunday | :26:13. | :26:16. | |
Hungary's Foreign Minister said it could take days to identify the | :26:17. | :26:22. | |
bodies because of severe burns. TRANSLATION: Once the shock is gone | :26:23. | :26:25. | |
the losses become even more tormenting. Based on the reports | :26:26. | :26:31. | |
from the scene, the situation has become harder as we begin the most | :26:32. | :26:35. | |
painful process, identifying the body. Over the weekend hundreds of | :26:36. | :26:43. | |
people attended a candlelit vigil outside the school building, praying | :26:44. | :26:49. | |
for the victims, stand by what happened. The first of those injured | :26:50. | :26:54. | |
in the tragedy were transferred from Verona hospitals to Budapest to | :26:55. | :26:58. | |
continue their treatment. Amongst the survivors a teacher and his wife | :26:59. | :27:03. | |
credited with rescuing many pupils lost their own children. It is not | :27:04. | :27:09. | |
clear why the bus left the road. In a day of national mourning schools | :27:10. | :27:13. | |
and official buildings across Hungary are flying back to egg black | :27:14. | :27:14. | |
flags to mark the nation's grief. This is the website of the Dutch | :27:15. | :27:31. | |
premier list's party. If you went on it, this is what you would read. | :27:32. | :27:44. | |
Let's start with the letter, printed in black for maximum impact, an | :27:45. | :27:48. | |
uncompromising message from a man famous for his consensus politics. | :27:49. | :27:59. | |
Yahya Jammeh says Dutch people are fed up with those who come and abuse | :28:00. | :28:04. | |
the freedoms they sought. While it's addressed to all Dutch people there | :28:05. | :28:09. | |
is a clear intended target. And in those accompanying interview he | :28:10. | :28:11. | |
talks about the case of a man who applied to be a bus driver but | :28:12. | :28:17. | |
refused to shake women's hands. Mr Rutte says that is simply not | :28:18. | :28:21. | |
acceptable, to not accept this culture even when it goes against | :28:22. | :28:28. | |
someone's religion. The leader of the Freedom Party has tweeted his | :28:29. | :28:32. | |
response accusing Yahya Jammeh of trying to deceive the voters before | :28:33. | :28:36. | |
March elections. Budget he has accused Mr Rutte. He says the Prime | :28:37. | :28:44. | |
Minister is precisely over an asylum tsunami of mass immigration and was | :28:45. | :28:47. | |
caught in the manner of open borders. This has given a clear | :28:48. | :28:51. | |
indication of two of the major issues expected to dominate these | :28:52. | :28:55. | |
elections in less than two months, immigration and the EU. They are | :28:56. | :29:00. | |
also being seen as a test of the populist ability to translate poll | :29:01. | :29:06. | |
figures into actual votes. And ends this edition of Outside Source. See | :29:07. | :29:08. | |
you tomorrow. Bye bye. | :29:09. | :29:11. |
