:00:12. > :00:13.Hello, I'm Ros Atkins, this is Outside Source.

:00:14. > :00:15.President Trump has had his first meeting

:00:16. > :00:17.with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

:00:18. > :00:22.The two leaders discussed terrorism, and cooperation on trade and growth.

:00:23. > :00:24.North Korea has declared Sunday's ballistic missile test a success.

:00:25. > :00:33.President Trump described North Korea as a "big, big problem".

:00:34. > :00:41.We'll look at how his administration dealt with this first test.

:00:42. > :00:45.Mr Trump's Security adviser is under pressure.

:00:46. > :00:48.He's accused of discussing sanctions with Russia before the end

:00:49. > :00:51.He's initially denied this, now he's not so sure.

:00:52. > :00:55.And in sport Manny Pacquiao's turned to a Twitter poll

:00:56. > :01:10.We'll look at how this is going to work.

:01:11. > :01:14.This is the US National Security Adviser, Michael Flynn.

:01:15. > :01:21.He's accused of discussing sanctions on Russia

:01:22. > :01:23.with the Russian's US ambassador before Donald Trump

:01:24. > :01:28.Doing so would have violated laws on private citizens

:01:29. > :01:37.A senior White House official has said...

:01:38. > :01:41.to weigh in on the sensitive matter."

:01:42. > :01:51.Mr Flynn had shifted, he had said sanctions

:01:52. > :01:58.Next factor in the Washington Post, which has nine current

:01:59. > :02:06.and former officials saying sanctions did come up.

:02:07. > :02:10.We also know Michael Flynn has relations with senior Russians.

:02:11. > :02:14.Here he is at a banquet with Vladimir Putin last year.

:02:15. > :02:28.I get that if he has done this, it matters and it could break the law.

:02:29. > :02:31.But it feels like it matters more than that to the people covering it,

:02:32. > :02:39.this has become symbolic of something? I think it has become a

:02:40. > :02:44.test of two things. One is whether this is a functioning White House

:02:45. > :02:48.that has personnel that can do their jobs without becoming captured by

:02:49. > :02:53.some scandal or upset. The second is it is a test of the President's

:02:54. > :02:59.loyalty. We have just had the adviser to the president on American

:03:00. > :03:01.television in the last few minutes saying, Michael Flynn enjoys the

:03:02. > :03:07.confidence of the president. So there has been speculation over the

:03:08. > :03:10.course of the weekend over whether the general would be forced out of

:03:11. > :03:19.his position as national security adviser. But according to the

:03:20. > :03:28.President's adviser says that is not going to happen. How significant is

:03:29. > :03:33.this man within Donald Trump's world? It is a very important

:03:34. > :03:36.position. Whilst you have a team of national security personnel

:03:37. > :03:41.including the secretary of defence and the Secretary of State, and to

:03:42. > :03:45.some extent, the secretary of homeland security, the one person

:03:46. > :03:49.who sits in the White House near the oval office and is there all the

:03:50. > :03:53.time is the national security adviser. It is a political

:03:54. > :03:57.appointment by the President, doesn't go through Congress. He is

:03:58. > :04:02.there all the time and is the last person in the room. It always gives

:04:03. > :04:08.the national Security adviser and loss of influence. In this case, the

:04:09. > :04:13.two are close because in their campaign, when national security

:04:14. > :04:17.figures, including national security figures in the Republican Party were

:04:18. > :04:21.abandoning Donald Trump and openly criticising him, the one person who

:04:22. > :04:26.stuck up for him and took his position was General Michael Flynn.

:04:27. > :04:32.In Donald Trump's world, that earns you a lot of brownie points. I want

:04:33. > :04:34.to ask about the rhythm of Washington and the relationship

:04:35. > :04:40.between the president and the city. He is not spending many weekends in

:04:41. > :04:47.town, years in the sunshine in Florida, what are people making

:04:48. > :04:52.about? He has already been tries to what he calls the winter White

:04:53. > :04:56.House. He was there with the Japanese Prime Minister. We have

:04:57. > :05:00.seen nothing of Melania trumpet here in Washington since the

:05:01. > :05:03.inauguration. That is very rare. I have not seen it in modern times

:05:04. > :05:08.since I have been covering the White House. She seems to prefer to go to

:05:09. > :05:15.Florida. He will fly down to Florida, he likes getting away from

:05:16. > :05:20.Washington. 96% of residents in the city did not vote for him. He says

:05:21. > :05:25.Florida is the place he feels most relaxed. There are questions how

:05:26. > :05:30.much it costs taxpayers in terms of security and be forced one flight.

:05:31. > :05:35.$3 million was the quote for the first weekend. It is within his

:05:36. > :05:39.right, all presidents have a place to retreat to, he just seems to do

:05:40. > :05:45.it a bit more often. Tikay, thank you very much.

:05:46. > :05:54.One of the remarkable events this weekend was when the president was

:05:55. > :05:56.told what North Korea had done. Over the weekend, North Korea

:05:57. > :05:58.announced it had successfully test-launched a mid to long

:05:59. > :06:01.range ballistic missile. This is the first time

:06:02. > :06:05.since becoming President that Donald Trump has faced this kind

:06:06. > :06:07.of provocation from At today's press conference

:06:08. > :06:21.Donald Trump said this: When I was campaigning, I said it is

:06:22. > :06:27.not a good situation. Now that I see it, including intelligence

:06:28. > :06:33.briefings, we have problems a lot of people had no idea how bad they are

:06:34. > :06:37.and how serious. Not only internationally, but North Korea is

:06:38. > :06:40.a big, big problem. We will deal with that very strongly.

:06:41. > :06:43.Earlier the BBC spoke with former US Ambassador to the UN,

:06:44. > :06:49.Bill Richardson about how Mr Trump has responded.

:06:50. > :06:58.I believe he made the correct response, basically saying we stand

:06:59. > :07:02.behind the Japanese, without overreacting and without talking

:07:03. > :07:05.about what steps the United States and the Allies might take in

:07:06. > :07:12.response to this violation of the Security Council resolution. I give

:07:13. > :07:18.him good marks for being restrained. Now he has a lot of options on the

:07:19. > :07:23.table. Clearly North Korea was testing the new Administration, they

:07:24. > :07:28.like to get into these ideological and policy skirmishes. I think the

:07:29. > :07:34.president kept his options open. The next test is, what do we do? They

:07:35. > :07:39.are not very good options. The first one is go to the Security Council at

:07:40. > :07:49.the UN, which is what we are doing now. Possibly more sanctions. At the

:07:50. > :07:51.very least, a condemnation of this ballistic missile, which was

:07:52. > :07:52.intermediate, it wasn't a long one. It was on routine, but a

:07:53. > :07:56.provocation, nonetheless. Joe Root is the new test captain

:07:57. > :08:00.of the England cricket team. He'll take over from Alistair Cook

:08:01. > :08:03.who resigned last week. For those of you watching

:08:04. > :08:11.for whom cricket is a mystery, test cricket is the longest version

:08:12. > :08:28.of the game. Tremendous performance. Joe Root has

:08:29. > :08:33.played magnificently. Magnificent Hundred from Joe Root in tough

:08:34. > :08:40.circumstances. He is the dynamo of the team. Joe Root has got used to

:08:41. > :08:44.being English cricket's great hope. Now he has responsibility. The way

:08:45. > :08:48.he plays his cricket, the way he goes about his business will lend

:08:49. > :08:52.itself to be a great captain. In January, he became a great father

:08:53. > :08:57.for the first time. He will approach leading the same way as he

:08:58. > :09:01.approaches parenting. It is something you have to learn on the

:09:02. > :09:07.job. Being a dad, you don't know what to do, you just have to go with

:09:08. > :09:14.it. Baby Alfie is in white, this is a family who stopped them early. You

:09:15. > :09:17.will find the root of Joe Root among fertile Yorkshire cricketing soil.

:09:18. > :09:22.On the outskirts of Sheffield is where it began. He still goes back

:09:23. > :09:25.to Sheffield Collegiate, which produced Michael Vaughan. His

:09:26. > :09:30.brother Billy and dad also played here and the name has appeared on

:09:31. > :09:34.local scorecards further back. The family are everywhere, even upstairs

:09:35. > :09:41.where Grandma Barbara plays bridge. How do those who know him best judge

:09:42. > :09:46.his hand? I think he should be OK. You can only tell when they get in

:09:47. > :09:53.the job. It is very much learning on the job, being a cricket captain. A

:09:54. > :09:57.lot of responsibility being England cricket captain, hopefully it will

:09:58. > :10:02.be successful. They don't get carried away. Despite his progress

:10:03. > :10:06.from Yorkshire to world number one batsman, he has scored 11 test

:10:07. > :10:14.centuries and plays all three forms of the game. But there are concerns,

:10:15. > :10:18.he has only rarely led his county and might the captain compromise the

:10:19. > :10:23.run maker? They don't dwell on that here. It is a big job. But Joe is

:10:24. > :10:27.that kind of person who will take it in his stride. He is more than

:10:28. > :10:32.capable of dealing with the pressures of what captaincy brings.

:10:33. > :10:36.He inherits a team that lost 4-0 in India last year and faces South

:10:37. > :10:40.Africa in the summer before the Ashes tour. Who knows how he will

:10:41. > :10:42.do. But we can guess his approach. In the words of his grandfather, mad

:10:43. > :10:44.keen. Here are four men who could fight

:10:45. > :10:48.Manny Pacquiao next. Jeff Horn and Terence

:10:49. > :10:55.Crawford from the US. Unusually, Pacquiao has created

:10:56. > :11:01.a poll on his Twitter account He has nearly half of

:11:02. > :11:19.the 45,000 votes so far. You wouldn't be wrong to raise a

:11:20. > :11:26.slightly cynical eyebrow. What is this about? John Watson is live. Is

:11:27. > :11:30.this real, will it work? We're wondering. Of those for you mention,

:11:31. > :11:37.Jeff Horn, the 29-year-old Australian thought he was due to be

:11:38. > :11:42.fighting Manny Pacquiao. A date, presumably had been set for April.

:11:43. > :11:46.In Brisbane, one of the biggest fights in boxing history in

:11:47. > :11:51.Australia. Not only has this fight caused confusion, but one of Manny

:11:52. > :11:56.Pacquiao's advisers was speaking in Abu Dhabi over the weekend. He had a

:11:57. > :12:00.press conference and he said that Manny Pacquiao will be fighting in

:12:01. > :12:04.the UAE next. Not only has that press conference caused confusion,

:12:05. > :12:09.but this tweet has as well. It appears Manny Pacquiao is destined

:12:10. > :12:16.to fight someone, but we're not sure who it is going to be. Hadn't he

:12:17. > :12:20.retired? This was the great debate. He fought a Floyd Mayweather in the

:12:21. > :12:25.richest boxing bout in history. After that, he felt he had one more

:12:26. > :12:31.fight left in him. He went on to fight Timothy Bradley. After that he

:12:32. > :12:34.was supposed to retire. He came out of retirement to fight Jesse Vargas.

:12:35. > :12:41.Now it seems Manny Pacquiao wants another shot. 67 professional fights

:12:42. > :12:46.now, Manny Pacquiao. 59 of those winds. He clearly has his eyes on

:12:47. > :12:50.another. Jeff Horn was thinking it would be him. Who knows? If you find

:12:51. > :12:55.out, let me know, John. We wanted to show you this. It is a

:12:56. > :13:07.unique celebration we spotted. This is Corby Town

:13:08. > :13:09.defender Jason Lee, helping himself to a

:13:10. > :13:11.fan's pint of cider. His team had just

:13:12. > :13:13.scored to go 1-0 up. This is what Jason said

:13:14. > :13:15.about the incident. "After the goal was

:13:16. > :13:17.scored we all went off to celebrate with Ben,

:13:18. > :13:20.but a fan had spilled his pint, and another fan had thrown his

:13:21. > :13:22.pint up in the air." Everyone was celebrating,

:13:23. > :13:24.everyone was drenched, but I didn't want the spilled pint

:13:25. > :13:28.to go to waste so I just thought I'd Unlikely to see that any time soon

:13:29. > :13:45.in the Premier League. We are going to turn to California.

:13:46. > :13:52.150,000 people have been evacuated because of concerns over the safety

:13:53. > :14:06.of America burns-macro tallest dam. We will update you on that. The BBC

:14:07. > :14:07.has found shoppers are being short-changed because of promotions

:14:08. > :14:10.that have expired. If we see a special offer

:14:11. > :14:12.on the supermarket shelves, we expect to pay that price

:14:13. > :14:15.at the till, but that doesn't The gingerbread, they're are on two

:14:16. > :14:20.for ?3 but it hasn't come off, and the cat food,

:14:21. > :14:23.the deal was three for ?8. The BBC's Inside Out programme

:14:24. > :14:36.visited 50 Tesco stores across England and found out-of-date

:14:37. > :14:38.special offers in 33 of them. At some stores, staff say it's

:14:39. > :14:47.a recurring problem. And at another store,

:14:48. > :15:02.a worker blames the error In most stores, workers removed

:15:03. > :15:10.the label straight away, At this store, the cashier refunds

:15:11. > :15:15.the difference but doesn't remove the label, so it's still on display

:15:16. > :15:19.when we go back in the next The fourth cashier

:15:20. > :15:30.finally removes it. There are obviously major

:15:31. > :15:32.problems with their control of the special offers,

:15:33. > :15:34.and it's the special offers that bring customers in,

:15:35. > :15:37.make people reach for more and perhaps spend a little bit

:15:38. > :15:39.more than they meant Throughout our investigation,

:15:40. > :15:49.Tesco did refund the difference when The company wouldn't provide

:15:50. > :15:54.anyone for interview but after reviewing the BBC's

:15:55. > :15:58.evidence, said: to deliver clear and accurate price

:15:59. > :16:02.labels for our customers so they can make informed decisions

:16:03. > :16:12.on the products they buy. Following our investigation,

:16:13. > :16:14.Britain's biggest supermarket has said it will be double checking

:16:15. > :16:16.the accuracy of every This is Outside Source live

:16:17. > :16:42.from the BBC newsroom. Donald Trump has met with the

:16:43. > :16:50.Canadian Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau. They discussed terrorism,

:16:51. > :16:54.cooperation and refugees. If you are watching outside the UK, it is world

:16:55. > :17:08.News America which will look ahead to Benjamin Netanyahu visiting

:17:09. > :17:12.Washington on Wednesday. Next here in the UK, it is the news at ten.

:17:13. > :17:14.More than 180,000 people in northern California have been told

:17:15. > :17:18.It's because an overflow channel at the tallest dam in the US

:17:19. > :17:28.The extraordinary pictures of the water.

:17:29. > :17:30.The emergency spillway of the tall Oroville Dam

:17:31. > :17:42.There was gridlock on roads heading out of the town.

:17:43. > :17:46.These are some of the pictures that have been coming in.

:17:47. > :17:51.The dam is in California, located on Lake Oroville.

:17:52. > :17:55.Water levels in the reservoir have risen following heavy rain and snow

:17:56. > :18:10.Here you can see the main spillway which was close to collapse.

:18:11. > :18:14.I spoke to Dave Lee earlier from San Francisco and asked him

:18:15. > :18:24.if the all clear has been given, why are people not going home.

:18:25. > :18:34.Two reasons. There is a lot of rain expected in the area later this

:18:35. > :18:40.week. This weekend has been quite sunny camp led to the previous few

:18:41. > :18:44.weeks, so if anything it is a bit of relief, weather-wise. More rain

:18:45. > :18:51.expected later this week. But also the spillway, as you mentioned, is

:18:52. > :18:56.in such a state of disrepair. Literally dropping in bags of rock

:18:57. > :19:00.to fill this hole but crumbled to pieces when the heavy amounts of

:19:01. > :19:05.water were gushing down the spillway to try to alleviate the pressure on

:19:06. > :19:10.the dam. So any signed this may need to be used again in this way, could

:19:11. > :19:15.be very serious. Although it seems like the main threat that both

:19:16. > :19:19.emergency plans were looking like they could fail at one point on

:19:20. > :19:26.Sunday, now it seems that threat has subsided. They have managed to avoid

:19:27. > :19:30.that. People are seeing it as a lucky escape, the weather held off

:19:31. > :19:34.this weekend. Had they not, we could have been looking at a devastating

:19:35. > :19:40.flood in that area. Evacuation order is still in place at the time being,

:19:41. > :19:43.because of those fears it could not be over just yet. Can you give me

:19:44. > :19:49.more details on what needs to be done to the dam and how long it

:19:50. > :19:54.might take? They need to fix it, basically. There is two spillway is

:19:55. > :20:00.to the left-hand side of the dam. The first is concrete and is

:20:01. > :20:04.designed to be a big drainpipe that brings water down and disburses it

:20:05. > :20:08.into the river below in a controlled way. That has been used in the past,

:20:09. > :20:13.but it has been crumbling because of the weight. They need to get it

:20:14. > :20:15.fixed, have enough good weather so they can get in and solve this for

:20:16. > :20:19.the long term. Thank you, Dave. The Syrian government

:20:20. > :20:21.and its allies are accused today of "deliberate and systematic

:20:22. > :20:23.destruction" in Aleppo. This is in this report

:20:24. > :20:28.making the accusations. It comes from the Atlantic Council

:20:29. > :20:31.which is a prominent think tank It's funded in a range of ways,

:20:32. > :20:37.including contributions from NATO The report also says that

:20:38. > :20:44.hospitals were bombed and it provides videos

:20:45. > :20:50.to support its claims. She's been taking a look

:20:51. > :20:59.at the report for us. The Syrian regime and its allies

:21:00. > :21:05.were able to break the opposition's hold on a leper with the use of

:21:06. > :21:10.siege, indiscriminate bombing in civilian areas, chemical weapons and

:21:11. > :21:15.targeting infrastructure, including hospitals. Those claims have been

:21:16. > :21:19.denied by President Assad and his allies, notably Russia. But this

:21:20. > :21:22.report says it is a deliberate campaign of misinformation. It is

:21:23. > :21:27.highly critical of the actions of the Syrian government in Aleppo, but

:21:28. > :21:31.also the role of America. It said the US was left seriously damaged by

:21:32. > :21:36.the fall of a leper because the US allied opposition was discredited

:21:37. > :21:41.and as a consequence, the refugee crisis was worsened. It urges a new

:21:42. > :21:45.strategy from President Trump and his Administration. What it calls

:21:46. > :21:47.are bolder and wiser approach. This report says that doesn't mean

:21:48. > :21:52.stepping up of direct military presence on the ground, but instead

:21:53. > :21:55.the focus should be on protecting densely populated civilian areas and

:21:56. > :22:01.also ensuring any ceasefire agreement is in force, so those who

:22:02. > :22:05.violate it have sanctions imposed against them. The conclusion of this

:22:06. > :22:09.report is the US must learn the lessons of what it calls be in

:22:10. > :22:14.action in Aleppo, make sure nothing like this happens again.

:22:15. > :22:22.A draft law in the Philippines means children as young as nine could be

:22:23. > :22:28.jailed for drug offences. The president supports the proposal. The

:22:29. > :22:34.Philippine president, he campaigned on a pledge. He said there was a

:22:35. > :22:38.loophole by criminal gangs and using children to act as careers and they

:22:39. > :22:41.could ferry drugs all over the country. And because they weren't

:22:42. > :22:46.responsible because they were under the age of 15, he said he would

:22:47. > :22:50.change the laws so children as young as 12 could be liable. His allies

:22:51. > :22:53.have put forward a bill that would make children as young as nine

:22:54. > :23:00.liable for prosecution for any crime, not just drug crimes. But

:23:01. > :23:05.there is evidence these criminal gangs are using children? Not much,

:23:06. > :23:12.actually. Child advocacy say only 1.7% of crimes are committed by

:23:13. > :23:15.children. Usually they are petty crimes, petty theft and glue

:23:16. > :23:21.sniffing. There is not a lot of evidence drug gangs are using

:23:22. > :23:27.children as careers. Does the death penalty fit into this? It is part of

:23:28. > :23:30.this criminal reform bill that has been put forward. It has already

:23:31. > :23:34.passed through the Congress and it is now headed for the Senate. It

:23:35. > :23:38.would reintroduce the death penalty in the Philippines and that would

:23:39. > :23:42.also lower the age of criminal responsibility to the age of nine.

:23:43. > :23:46.Because they are intertwined, it would mean a child aged nine he was
