:00:12. > :00:20.Taliban at hello. This is Outside Source. The White House says it is

:00:21. > :00:23.empowering agents so they can remove any undocumented immigrants

:00:24. > :00:26.convicted of even a minor offence. There have been many immigration

:00:27. > :00:31.raids across US cities in recent days. The numbers facing deportation

:00:32. > :00:36.are set to be much greater. The FBI is investigating a rise in

:00:37. > :00:41.the number of anti-Semitic threats in the United States. President

:00:42. > :00:45.Donald Trump address did today. The anti-Semitic threats targeting our

:00:46. > :00:50.Jewish community and community centres are horrible.

:00:51. > :00:54.Fracking has caused thousands of oil and gas builds across the last

:00:55. > :00:59.decade according to new research. We will find out what the environmental

:01:00. > :01:03.impact of that might be. An Israeli soldier who shot dead a

:01:04. > :01:06.wounded Palestinian militant has been sentenced to 18 months in

:01:07. > :01:08.prison. The case has divided the country.

:01:09. > :01:12.We will bring you the latest. And with less than two months to go

:01:13. > :01:13.until the French elections, one of the frontrunners has come to London

:01:14. > :01:34.to court French voters. Welcome to the programme. The Trump

:01:35. > :01:41.administration has issued tough new guidelines on immigration in two

:01:42. > :01:44.memos. You can find them online. This is one, enforcement of the

:01:45. > :01:49.immigration laws to serve the national interest. Let me bring you

:01:50. > :01:54.a picture about the implementation of that plan. They are designed to

:01:55. > :01:58.widen the net for deporting illegal in from the United States and speed

:01:59. > :02:05.up their removal. Let's bring in the BBC's correspondent in Washington. I

:02:06. > :02:11.suppose a lot of people will be wondering exactly how this is

:02:12. > :02:15.different from what went before with the Obama administration? What the

:02:16. > :02:19.Obama administration focused on was on detaining and deporting

:02:20. > :02:24.individuals caught early on within two weeks of crossing the border and

:02:25. > :02:29.within 100 miles of the order and expediting deportation of them.

:02:30. > :02:34.Here, this says that anyone found anywhere within two years of

:02:35. > :02:39.entering the US is eligible for expedited deportation. The Obama

:02:40. > :02:44.administration also focused on workers convicted of serious crimes.

:02:45. > :02:48.But this Donald Trump memorandum says it is not just people who have

:02:49. > :02:51.committed crimes, but people charged with crimes, people who have

:02:52. > :02:54.committed offences that they could be charged with, in addition to

:02:55. > :02:59.people who have abused public benefits or anyone that immigration

:03:00. > :03:03.officials deemed a threat to national or public safety. So it is

:03:04. > :03:07.much more sweeping. They are going to deputise local police officers to

:03:08. > :03:11.help them enforce immigration law. They are also talking about hiring

:03:12. > :03:17.up to 10,000 new border agents. This is a much more broad enforcement of

:03:18. > :03:23.immigration law everywhere in the US and not just along the borders. When

:03:24. > :03:27.you talk about those numbers, surely you would have to get congressional

:03:28. > :03:34.improvement for the funding for those thousands of new positions?

:03:35. > :03:36.Right, and one of the things the memorandum has said is that the

:03:37. > :03:39.Department of Homeland Security is going to be putting in budget

:03:40. > :03:44.requests to get more funding. They have some flexibility over spending.

:03:45. > :03:56.They have some authorisation to hire people to increase border

:03:57. > :04:00.performance. -- enforcement. The Barack Obama administration decided

:04:01. > :04:05.not to use that programme. The way the Obama people talked about it was

:04:06. > :04:10.that they had to decide, because there are 11 million undocumented

:04:11. > :04:14.people in the country, they have to focus on a certain subset. But

:04:15. > :04:18.Donald Trump wants to focus on illegal immigrants everywhere and

:04:19. > :04:22.they need the resources to do that. Anthony, stay with us, because there

:04:23. > :04:27.are other issues to do with US President Donald Trump. Today he

:04:28. > :04:30.just condemning threats against Jewish communities and community

:04:31. > :04:35.centres in the United States. Let's listen to him speaking earlier.

:04:36. > :04:40.This tour was a meaningful reminder of how we have to fight bigotry,

:04:41. > :04:49.intolerance and hatred in all of its ugly forms. The anti-Semitic threats

:04:50. > :04:57.targeting our Jewish community and community centres are horrible, and

:04:58. > :05:08.painful, and a sad reminder of the work that still must be done to root

:05:09. > :05:12.out hate and prejudice and evil. Mr Trump is echoing what his daughter

:05:13. > :05:21.was tweeting. Schir Ivanka Trump has converted to Judaism.

:05:22. > :05:29.They are both referring to the fact that since the beginning of the

:05:30. > :05:38.year, there have been reports of threats to Jewish centres in 19

:05:39. > :05:42.states. Just last week, there were 27 Jewish community centres that

:05:43. > :05:46.reported receiving hoax bomb threats. On Monday, 11 more. No

:05:47. > :05:55.bombs were found at any of the locations. Another example is in St

:05:56. > :06:01.Louis in Missouri. They have opened an investigation into 170 headstones

:06:02. > :06:09.that were damaged at a Jewish cemetery. Let's bring Anthony back

:06:10. > :06:15.in to speak to us on these issues. Why do you think Trump has decided

:06:16. > :06:18.to make the statements today? They have been getting a lot of pressure

:06:19. > :06:24.in the last few days to come out more aggressively against these

:06:25. > :06:28.threats to Jewish community centres. You have to view it in the context

:06:29. > :06:32.of what happened last week, which was that Donald Trump was asked

:06:33. > :06:37.twice during press conferences to condemn anti-Semitism. The first

:06:38. > :06:41.time, he dodged and talked about his electoral college victory. The

:06:42. > :06:47.second time, he got a lid on towards the reporter asking and told her to

:06:48. > :06:52.be quiet -- he got belligerence. People within the Jewish community

:06:53. > :06:56.look back and see the way Donald Trump conducted his campaign and

:06:57. > :07:00.some of the supporters who were what nationalists and engaged in some

:07:01. > :07:05.anti-Semitic rhetoric. They also looked at early in his

:07:06. > :07:08.administration, when they sent out a press release talking about the

:07:09. > :07:15.Holocaust and not mentioning Jews or anti-Semitism. They see it as a

:07:16. > :07:23.pattern but they wanted the Trump administration to come out more

:07:24. > :07:26.aggressively and to condemn anti-Semitism, although they do not

:07:27. > :07:30.necessarily think he's doing enough even with that. Thanks for speaking

:07:31. > :07:36.to us. Let's move on to a new study which

:07:37. > :07:41.has revealed thousands of oil and gas builds at fracking projects

:07:42. > :07:49.across America. Research has found more than 6500 incidents between

:07:50. > :08:01.2005 and 2014. They looked at four states, Pennsylvania, New Mexico,

:08:02. > :08:12.Colorado and North Dakota. 70% of the spillages were reported in North

:08:13. > :08:15.Dakota. They had so many sites in that area but environmentalists say

:08:16. > :08:21.spills can contaminate water sources and damage the environment. I spoke

:08:22. > :08:26.with the BBC's environment correspondent for more on this.

:08:27. > :08:38.There has been an oil boom, but the rules on spills in North Dakota are

:08:39. > :08:43.different from other states. 16% of their wells are leaking every year.

:08:44. > :08:49.Other states have to have much bigger spills before they have to

:08:50. > :08:52.report it. Small spills in North Dakota have to be reported. But they

:08:53. > :08:59.are not being reported in other states. So it may not be a true

:09:00. > :09:02.measure of what is happening. Why those four states? Those four states

:09:03. > :09:05.are prominent in fracking for oil and gas, but they also have the

:09:06. > :09:09.better records. The difference between this and other studies is

:09:10. > :09:13.that this looked at the long term. Others have just looked at the

:09:14. > :09:16.fracking process, often just a couple of weeks when people put the

:09:17. > :09:20.drill in the ground and start cracking the rocks. This looked over

:09:21. > :09:23.the lifetime of the well and they found much more spills coming from

:09:24. > :09:31.the liquid containers, not just the well itself. Will the report make a

:09:32. > :09:34.difference? It will raise concern. It has been an area of great

:09:35. > :09:39.difficulty for different states to understand what is going on.

:09:40. > :09:46.Scientists are calling for a uniform way of measuring this across all

:09:47. > :09:53.states. Let me turn to the head of the Environmental Protection Agency,

:09:54. > :10:01.Scott Pruitt, a controversial nomination by US President Donald

:10:02. > :10:04.Trump. He is speaking today. What is top of the agenda? As you say,

:10:05. > :10:09.perhaps the most controversial appointment in the history of the

:10:10. > :10:13.EPA. 800 former staff members wrote to the senator, saying, don't

:10:14. > :10:18.appoint this guy. Top of his agenda is to reduce the role of the EPA.

:10:19. > :10:22.When he was Attorney General of Oklahoma, he sued the EPA more than

:10:23. > :10:26.a dozen times, so here's a poacher turned gamekeeper and he has been

:10:27. > :10:29.setting out his thoughts today on what the EPA should look like. He

:10:30. > :10:37.has been striking a conciliatory note and saying you have to listen.

:10:38. > :10:44.But people are worried that really, there are big changes coming. What

:10:45. > :10:49.do you think are some of the issue is particularly held by the Obama

:10:50. > :10:52.administration that Mr Trump might want to roll back? There are two

:10:53. > :10:57.issues clearly been reported on at the moment. One is called the waters

:10:58. > :11:01.of the US role, which many Republicans see as an overreach of

:11:02. > :11:05.the EPA, regulating areas they don't need to do. The other is the clean

:11:06. > :11:09.power plant. This was the centrepiece of President Obama's

:11:10. > :11:15.attempts to reduce carbon emissions from the US. It is likely that

:11:16. > :11:26.President Trump and Scott Pruitt will want to overturn this. US

:11:27. > :11:30.President Donald Trump is expected to sign an order which will lift a

:11:31. > :11:34.ban on mining for coal. Throughout his campaign, he was clear that he

:11:35. > :11:38.wanted to bring back coal-mining jobs to the United States, but is

:11:39. > :11:40.that a pledge he can fulfil? The BBC's Michelle Fleury has gone to

:11:41. > :11:59.West Virginia. This corner of West Virginia is coal

:12:00. > :12:05.country, and after years of hardship, the people here are

:12:06. > :12:07.breathing a sigh of relief. At this mining repair company, Donald

:12:08. > :12:12.Trump's win has buoyed hopes of a coal revival. The day after the

:12:13. > :12:20.election, it was like we had won the Super Bowl. The confidence we had in

:12:21. > :12:25.the future was elevated. We had not seen that for quite a while. When

:12:26. > :12:31.Obama came into office, he said there was a war on coal, and that is

:12:32. > :12:39.our livelihood. And she is not alone. I met coal miner said over

:12:40. > :12:43.coffee and cake. West Virginia has an opportunity now to stabilise and

:12:44. > :12:49.hopefully grow in the coal industry. That optimism is tempered by realism

:12:50. > :12:56.when to Trump's pledged to bring back coal jobs. I don't think he can

:12:57. > :13:02.do everything he has promised. But he could cut back on regulators. He

:13:03. > :13:05.can get industry going again. The sense of optimism here is palpable,

:13:06. > :13:11.and I have also noticed an increase in activity since the last time I

:13:12. > :13:15.visited the region. But whilst there is a new man in the White House, the

:13:16. > :13:22.economic realities facing the industry have not changed. This

:13:23. > :13:26.graph helps explain coal's decline. In the past few years, demand for US

:13:27. > :13:31.coal has suffered because of an explosion in natural gas production

:13:32. > :13:34.and growing competition from renewables such as wind and solar

:13:35. > :13:41.energy. Scaling back environmental rules on the industry will not

:13:42. > :13:45.change this massive. Not everyone is waiting for coal to come back,

:13:46. > :13:48.though. Jamie Adams is a former miner turned computer code. Would

:13:49. > :13:57.you think of going back to the coal industry? I probably wouldn't. The

:13:58. > :14:05.uncertainty of worrying whether you will have a job the next day.

:14:06. > :14:07.Couldn't do that again. Back at mining repair specialists, staff

:14:08. > :14:14.numbers are back up to precrisis levels. We want to work. We don't

:14:15. > :14:19.want hand-outs. People here don't necessarily believe Donald Trump can

:14:20. > :14:22.save US coal. For them, it's about having someone in the White House

:14:23. > :14:31.who will give the industry and the region a chance.

:14:32. > :14:35.Still to come, we will bring you the latest on the French elections as

:14:36. > :14:44.contenders pop up in London and Beirut to burnish their presidential

:14:45. > :14:48.credentials. Merseyside Police are searching for

:14:49. > :14:51.a convicted killer after he escaped custody while on a hospital visit in

:14:52. > :14:56.Liverpool with the help of armed men. Stuart Flinders has more on

:14:57. > :14:57.Shaun Colin Walmsley, who was serving a minimum of 30 years in

:14:58. > :15:08.Walton prison. He was sentenced in June 2015 for

:15:09. > :15:11.murder with a recommended tariff of 30 years for the murder of Anthony

:15:12. > :15:14.Duffy, who died of multiple stab wounds. He was serving his sentence

:15:15. > :15:28.in Liverpool. He was serving a sentence

:15:29. > :15:30.in Liverpool when this afternoon, as you say, he was on a scheduled

:15:31. > :15:33.hospital appointment at the entry university hospital,

:15:34. > :15:35.and the appointment was over and he and two prison officers

:15:36. > :15:37.were getting into a car to return to the prison when two

:15:38. > :15:40.men confronted them. It is said that they were

:15:41. > :15:43.armed with a gun and a knife and a threatened the prison

:15:44. > :15:45.officers and demanded that Walmsley All three then disappeared

:15:46. > :15:48.in a gold coloured We are told that neither prison

:15:49. > :15:52.officer was hurt in this incident, but the three

:15:53. > :15:57.men are now missing. This is Outside Source, live from

:15:58. > :15:59.the BBC newsroom. Our top story: the White House says it is empowering

:16:00. > :16:04.agents so they can remove any document of immigrants convicted of

:16:05. > :16:07.even a minor offence. Let's take a look at what our language services

:16:08. > :16:12.are covering today. The military in Ukraine has accused pro-Moscow

:16:13. > :16:17.rebels of breaking a new ceasefire deal in the east of the country only

:16:18. > :16:20.hours after they started the truce. They say they have seen the

:16:21. > :16:28.residents of rebel forces pulling heavy weapons back from the line.

:16:29. > :16:31.That is on BBC Ukraine. The BBC's other service reports that

:16:32. > :16:35.Azerbaijan's president has appointed his wife to serve as first vice

:16:36. > :16:43.president. Critics say this is an attempt to further tighten his grip

:16:44. > :16:48.on power in the oil-rich republic. A British man who died while

:16:49. > :16:51.carrying out a suicide bombing for so-called Islamic State group in

:16:52. > :16:58.Iraq has been identified as a former Guantanamo Bay Dick Cheney. This is

:16:59. > :17:02.a picture of Abu-Zakariya al-Britani released by Islamic State. The BBC

:17:03. > :17:05.understands his original name was Ronald Fiddler. He was a 50-year-old

:17:06. > :17:10.man from Manchester. Islamic State claims he detonated a car bomb at an

:17:11. > :17:29.Iraqi base to the south of Mosul. We found out his name by going

:17:30. > :17:34.through a recruitment document from 2014, when he crossed over the

:17:35. > :17:38.Turkish border into Syria using the name he had changed too. His

:17:39. > :17:43.original name was Ronald Fiddler. He then adopted an Islamic name and

:17:44. > :17:49.later, he was given a kind of nickname, Abu-Zakariya al-Britani,

:17:50. > :17:55.and that is the one that so-called IS death as. He spent two years in

:17:56. > :17:59.Guantanamo Bay, a lot shorter than many people spend, but he was picked

:18:00. > :18:04.up in Pakistan in 2001 and handed over to the Americans,

:18:05. > :18:10.extraordinarily rendered from Kandahar to Guantanamo Bay. There,

:18:11. > :18:13.he cooperated with US interrogators. He told them how the Taliban handle

:18:14. > :18:18.prisoners and he was cleared for release. A British newspaper said he

:18:19. > :18:22.was given ?1 million, about $1.5 million, of compensation by the

:18:23. > :18:26.British government when he got out of Guantanamo and back into UK

:18:27. > :18:29.society. But ten years later, he went off to join so-called Islamic

:18:30. > :18:34.State, saying, I don't know much about Islam, but I want to be a

:18:35. > :18:38.fighter. That is interesting, that he only said he had a basic

:18:39. > :18:44.knowledge of Islam. His age also struck me. 50 years old. I am sure

:18:45. > :18:47.that in a battle space, he was probably known as Grandad, because

:18:48. > :18:52.that is old for a fighter. Most of the Western fighters who have gone

:18:53. > :18:57.to join, you're right, they tend to have a skin deep, very shallow

:18:58. > :19:05.knowledge of Islam. They just want to fight. He ate 50 would have been

:19:06. > :19:09.30 years older than most of them. An Israeli soldier who killed a wounded

:19:10. > :19:18.Palestinian attacker has been jailed for 18 months. This happened in

:19:19. > :19:20.Hebron in the occupied West Bank last March. Two Palestinian man

:19:21. > :19:30.attacked Israeli soldiers with knives.

:19:31. > :19:39.This happened after one of the Palestinians, Abdel Fattah

:19:40. > :19:46.al-Sharif, is still alive. Then the Israeli soldier, Elor Azaria, comes

:19:47. > :19:50.up, circled in red. This is the moment before he shoots that wounded

:19:51. > :19:56.man in the head. The case has divided opinion in Israel. Let me

:19:57. > :20:01.bring you some of the people who were outside the court today. They

:20:02. > :20:05.were protesting in support of Elor Azaria, the Israeli soldier. They

:20:06. > :20:06.were demanding his release and condemning the trial. Donnie Dymond

:20:07. > :20:16.spoke to me about it earlier. For a lot of Israelis, Elor Azaria

:20:17. > :20:20.was a young construct caught in a hostile military situation without

:20:21. > :20:23.clear orders from his commanding officers, who saw a friend of his

:20:24. > :20:28.being injured by a Palestinian attacker and who snapped. The other

:20:29. > :20:31.side of the argument from the Israeli defence force is that the

:20:32. > :20:36.Army has a moral standing that needs to be upheld. But many Israelis felt

:20:37. > :20:39.he should never have faced trial and should not have been found guilty of

:20:40. > :20:46.manslaughter and that he should not be facing 18 months in prison. Those

:20:47. > :20:48.were represented by the small but vocal group of protesters that I

:20:49. > :20:54.spent much of the day with today in Tel Aviv. There are significant

:20:55. > :20:58.disquiet amongst Israelis about the sentence. There is also enormous

:20:59. > :21:04.hostility from Palestinians towards the sentence, because they see a

:21:05. > :21:08.very different situation. They see this as an example of what they say

:21:09. > :21:11.goes on the whole time, which is the Israeli military over reacting and

:21:12. > :21:15.killing Palestinian citizens, some of whom are involved in attacks,

:21:16. > :21:19.some of whom are potential attackers, but many of whom they say

:21:20. > :21:24.are badly treated by the military and suffer from what they would call

:21:25. > :21:33.trigger-happy attacks from Israeli soldiers. Do you feel there will be

:21:34. > :21:36.run again this is -- ramifications from this incident? There are

:21:37. > :21:40.definitely divisions in Israeli society. It was a vigorous and at

:21:41. > :21:44.times bitter debate about what should happen to Elor Azaria and

:21:45. > :21:51.whether or not the prosecution should go ahead. The Palestinians

:21:52. > :21:55.were angry. There was a presumption that a good kick things off again

:21:56. > :21:58.and that the Palestinians were so angry that it could turn into

:21:59. > :22:04.something, but that has not really happened. Yes, there are

:22:05. > :22:06.Palestinians who are upset, but I don't think it has changed anything

:22:07. > :22:11.on the ground. The Palestinians are in the same position they were in

:22:12. > :22:16.before. The Israelis are in the same position. The Israeli defence force

:22:17. > :22:21.will be pleased that this case has concluded. The sentence is probably

:22:22. > :22:29.lighter than many expected. There will be an appeal. I don't think it

:22:30. > :22:37.is changing anything radically in the balance between Israel and the

:22:38. > :22:39.Palestinians. To be honest, you have a dead attacker, Abdel Fattah

:22:40. > :22:44.al-Sharif. You have got Elor Azaria, who is going to prison, and the

:22:45. > :22:52.conflict between Israelis and Palestinians grinds on. The

:23:10. > :23:15.Let's look at the graphic to show who got it better. PwC says the gap

:23:16. > :23:19.is closing and it could happen for the first time in Poland within a

:23:20. > :23:22.decade. Time to meet a businessman turned reality television star with

:23:23. > :23:26.his eyes set on politics. I am not speaking about the US president, I

:23:27. > :23:30.am talking about Kevin O'Leary, who some have dubbed Canada's Donald

:23:31. > :23:37.Trump. He has just announced his run to lead Canada's Conservative Party.

:23:38. > :23:46.Kevin O'Leary is best known for his appearance on the American reality

:23:47. > :23:50.television show shark tank. The successful Canadian businessman is

:23:51. > :23:54.now trying his hand at something different - politics, running for

:23:55. > :24:00.the leadership of Canada's Conservative Party. A businessman

:24:01. > :24:05.turned reality star becoming a politician. Sound familiar? It

:24:06. > :24:12.should. Kevin O'Leary is even being called Canada's Donald Trump. There

:24:13. > :24:16.is a similarity. We have both gained notoriety on reality television,

:24:17. > :24:21.remarkably through the same producer, Mark Burnett. That is

:24:22. > :24:24.where it ends. I am a half Lebanese, half Irish immigrant. If there was a

:24:25. > :24:31.wall around Canada, I wouldn't exist. His policies are not mine.

:24:32. > :24:36.Your former colleague on Dragons' Den called you opportunistic and

:24:37. > :24:39.said that this leadership bid has to do with you seeking fame and

:24:40. > :24:45.attention. How do you respond to that? People are tired of

:24:46. > :24:51.politicians spinning them BS. There are done. They would like to hire an

:24:52. > :24:55.operator, someone with execution of excellence that puts in place great

:24:56. > :24:58.people to perform and deliver results. You seem very aware of the

:24:59. > :25:05.populist wave that is through different countries. Is that what is

:25:06. > :25:12.carrying you as well? I don't think it is a short-term phenomenon. The

:25:13. > :25:17.fact that we are seeing this around the world, for different reasons,

:25:18. > :25:20.but the Canadians have a choice now. Do you want another politician, or

:25:21. > :25:29.would you prefer Kevin O'Leary? Am not going to run this as usual.

:25:30. > :25:33.Trudeau, I was very optimistic with, but now I realise along with many

:25:34. > :25:40.other Canadians that he doesn't know what he's doing. The chance that I

:25:41. > :25:44.am going to let him plunge my country into 1.5 trillion of debt is

:25:45. > :25:48.zero. Not a chance in hell. I am going to win the leadership. I will

:25:49. > :25:54.shine the light of transparency on him for the next two years, and then

:25:55. > :25:55.in 2019, we are going to have an exorcism. I am going to unwind

:25:56. > :26:00.everything he did. That is it for this half-hour of
