Hello, I'm Ros Atkins, this is Outside Source. | :00:07. | :00:08. | |
French centre-right presidential candidate Francois Fillon has said | :00:09. | :00:10. | |
he will be placed under investigation by a French judge - | :00:11. | :00:12. | |
TRANSLATION: I will not give up. I will not withdraw. I will take it to | :00:13. | :00:29. | |
the end, because it is democracy being challenged. | :00:30. | :00:31. | |
Donald Trump has addressed Congress for the first time - | :00:32. | :00:34. | |
and he's being widely praised for striking a conciliatory tone. | :00:35. | :00:37. | |
I am here tonight to deliver a message of unity and strength, and | :00:38. | :00:43. | |
it is a message deeply delivered from my heart. | :00:44. | :00:45. | |
This was a well rehearsed speech - full on promises and | :00:46. | :00:48. | |
We'll be live in Washington to get into this. | :00:49. | :00:54. | |
UN human rights investigators say war crimes were committed | :00:55. | :00:56. | |
in Aleppo last year - by all parties involved | :00:57. | :00:58. | |
This is a live feed coming in from the House of Lords, where the Brexit | :00:59. | :01:12. | |
debate is continuing. The UK government has received the first | :01:13. | :01:20. | |
defeat on an amendment concerning EU nationals resident in the UK. Do get | :01:21. | :01:27. | |

Francois Fillon is the centre-right candidate in the French | :01:40. | :01:41. | |
him under formal investigation over allegations he created fake | :01:42. | :01:48. | |
You might think that's enough to sink his chances - | :01:49. | :01:56. | |
and you'd certainly have thought so when he called a last minute | :01:57. | :01:59. | |
TRANSLATION: A number of my political friends, and those who | :02:00. | :02:15. | |
supported me in the primaries, and 4 million voters, are talking about a | :02:16. | :02:20. | |
political assassination. It is an assassination because it is | :02:21. | :02:23. | |
disproportionate and unprecedented. By the choice of this timetable, | :02:24. | :02:31. | |
it's not only me being assassinated, but the presidential elections as | :02:32. | :02:35. | |
well. The vote will decide who will be the next president of the | :02:36. | :02:39. | |
Republic. I will not cede. I will not give up. I will not withdraw. I | :02:40. | :02:45. | |
will take it to the end, because it is democracy that's being | :02:46. | :02:46. | |
challenged. Straight after that a senior member | :02:47. | :02:48. | |
of Mr Fillon's posted this statement That's a reference to | :02:49. | :02:54. | |
Francois Fillon promising to step aside if he was placed | :02:55. | :03:02. | |
under formal investigation. This is the reaction | :03:03. | :03:05. | |
of one of the other main TRANSLATION: What is happening in | :03:06. | :03:27. | |
the judicial domain is the concern of Francois Fillon and his judges, | :03:28. | :03:32. | |
for issues relating to the public domain and political life, the | :03:33. | :03:39. | |
French people will be the judge. But let's not treat the Democratic vote | :03:40. | :03:42. | |
as a means of absolution. That is not its role. | :03:43. | :03:44. | |
Let's remind ourselves of the allegations against Mr Fillon. | :03:45. | :03:46. | |
In January, a French investigative newspaper broke the story. | :03:47. | :03:52. | |
It claimed that he paid his wife more than 600,000 euros | :03:53. | :03:55. | |
of taxpayers' money for a parliamentary assistant's job | :03:56. | :03:57. | |
It later added another 330,000 euros to the accusation. | :03:58. | :04:07. | |
Penelope Fillon told a French journalist last year: | :04:08. | :04:10. | |
"Up to now, I have never been involved in | :04:11. | :04:12. | |
Mr Fillon is also accused of paying two of his five children 84,000 | :04:13. | :04:27. | |
euros for legal work while they were law students. | :04:28. | :04:34. | |
What has happened today, and what precipitated this very suspenseful | :04:35. | :04:52. | |
day of politics in France, was Hezbollah vocation by the judge | :04:53. | :04:56. | |
looking into this that he will want to see him on March the 15th. As you | :04:57. | :05:03. | |
mentioned in your introduction, it was his statement months ago that | :05:04. | :05:08. | |
you couldn't possibly conceive of an honourable candidate being in that | :05:09. | :05:11. | |
position, placed under investigation, which is at the root | :05:12. | :05:17. | |
of his embarrassment. If he is placed personally under formal | :05:18. | :05:21. | |
investigation, the embarrassment will be more acute. One suspects | :05:22. | :05:25. | |
this is what is going to happen, and one suspects the huge pressure on | :05:26. | :05:32. | |
him. His response is this fight back, which says it is all a Mac a | :05:33. | :05:38. | |
nation by his enemies, that the timing is being accelerated by | :05:39. | :05:42. | |
left-wingers in the judiciary essentially, and that's why he is in | :05:43. | :05:48. | |
such a pickle now. He is back on the attack saying that in normal | :05:49. | :05:51. | |
circumstances this would have taken longer, and this is -- he is the | :05:52. | :05:55. | |
victim of a plot. The first round of the election | :05:56. | :05:58. | |
is just over seven weeks away. This "opinionway" poll predicts that | :05:59. | :06:00. | |
far-right National Front leader, Marine Le Pen, will win | :06:01. | :06:03. | |
the first round with centrist And in the second round, Macron | :06:04. | :06:05. | |
is expected to be the clear winner. The suggestion is that Emmanuel | :06:06. | :06:30. | |
Macron will be the next president. The basic fact remains that whoever | :06:31. | :06:36. | |
gets through to the second round to fight marine Le Pen is most likely | :06:37. | :06:42. | |
to wind, even though Marine Le Pen is apparently going up slightly in | :06:43. | :06:49. | |
the polls in the second round, consistently the polls say she is | :06:50. | :06:53. | |
likely to be beaten, either by Emmanuel Macron or by Francois | :06:54. | :07:00. | |
Fillon. So the fight is to see who will be the second person in the | :07:01. | :07:05. | |
second round. Emmanuel Macron is riding high. Francois Fillon has | :07:06. | :07:12. | |
fallen in the polls, although they have not totally collapsed. Emmanuel | :07:13. | :07:19. | |
Macron has had good news with his centrist agenda. He feels that he | :07:20. | :07:23. | |
has the momentum behind him. Right now, Emmanuel Macron is the | :07:24. | :07:26. | |
favourite to be the next president. We also heard earlier | :07:27. | :07:29. | |
via the AFP news agency that centrist party UDI - | :07:30. | :07:31. | |
which was allied to the Fillon campaign - | :07:32. | :07:33. | |
is "pausing its support and the party leadership will meet | :07:34. | :07:35. | |
next week to decide whether to fully I asked Hugh how it will | :07:36. | :07:38. | |
affect his campaign. Up until now, his group in the | :07:39. | :07:53. | |
parliament has stayed pretty much behind him. There have been voices | :07:54. | :07:57. | |
saying that they should look elsewhere for another candidate, but | :07:58. | :08:02. | |
they have come to nothing. So they have stuck by Mr Fillon. Now we have | :08:03. | :08:07. | |
heard discordant voices from within his own camp. The UDI is a centrist | :08:08. | :08:13. | |
party but very much attached to the Republicans party. So while... When | :08:14. | :08:22. | |
a group, even though a small one, start breaking away, and there have | :08:23. | :08:27. | |
been other pretty important people within his own party, that starts to | :08:28. | :08:31. | |
embarrass him and make things more awkward. Now to American politics. | :08:32. | :08:41. | |
This is Donald Trump on Twitter, saying simply, thank you. A lot of | :08:42. | :08:48. | |
people have reacted well to his first speech to the US Congress. | :08:49. | :08:53. | |
Here is some of it. Each American generation passes the torch of | :08:54. | :08:57. | |
liberty and justice, in an unbroken chain all the way down to the | :08:58. | :09:04. | |
president. That torch is now in our hands, and we will use it to light | :09:05. | :09:10. | |
up the world. I am here tonight to deliver a message of unity and | :09:11. | :09:16. | |
strength, and it is a message deeply delivered from my heart. A new | :09:17. | :09:18. | |
chapter. APPLAUSE. | :09:19. | :09:28. | |
A new chapter of American greatness is now beginning. Poetic at times, | :09:29. | :09:34. | |
theatrical, emotional. This was a more measured tone | :09:35. | :09:37. | |
from President Trump than we've seen There's the President | :09:38. | :09:43. | |
practising as he gets It's unusual to get a glance | :09:44. | :09:50. | |
at politicians doing this before a big speech - | :09:51. | :09:52. | |
but you can be sure they all do it. This is the analysis of Daniel Dale. | :09:53. | :10:12. | |
He says, this was the same hardline nationalism, but just a different | :10:13. | :10:17. | |
tone. A rebranding from a master salesman. Let's bring in another | :10:18. | :10:24. | |
verdict that matters. Anthony is in Washington. Would you describe Trump | :10:25. | :10:31. | |
as a master salesman? He was definitely trying to sell | :10:32. | :10:36. | |
Republicans in the audience, congressional Republicans, that | :10:37. | :10:57. | |
chaotic start to his administration chaotic start to his administration | :10:58. | :10:59. | |
and that he can deliver a more is something he can move away from, | :11:00. | :11:00. | |
conventional speech. That is what we saw last night. He needs to keep | :11:01. | :11:01. | |
Republicans in the fold. His party Republicans in the fold. His party | :11:02. | :11:06. | |
will be able to pass a lot of his will be able to pass a lot of his | :11:07. | :11:08. | |
agenda. First and foremost, he needed to steady the ship, and that | :11:09. | :11:15. | |
is what his speech last night did. Right now, Donald Trump and his | :11:16. | :11:19. | |
administration is working on their budget. He sent papers to the | :11:20. | :11:24. | |
various agencies and Cabinet departments to have them flush out | :11:25. | :11:28. | |
the directives he was given them. The tricky thing is that a lot of | :11:29. | :11:32. | |
those departments and agencies do not have people in the top levels | :11:33. | :11:36. | |
right now, so it will be a challenge for them to meet the requests he has | :11:37. | :11:42. | |
provided. By May, we should have a presidential budget ready to | :11:43. | :11:49. | |
delivered to Congress. Then it will be the long process that involves | :11:50. | :11:54. | |
making choices about spending, about cuts, and how to fund these large | :11:55. | :11:59. | |
increases, like $12 billion perhaps for a wall. He talked about a | :12:00. | :12:05. | |
massive tax cut for the middle-class. These things have big | :12:06. | :12:11. | |
price tags. Donald, didn't speak of detail last night about where the | :12:12. | :12:18. | |
money come from. Mr Trump certainly gave us lots of major promises. Look | :12:19. | :12:27. | |
at this. Dying industries will come back to life. Veterans will get the | :12:28. | :12:32. | |
care they need. Our military will be given the resources it's brave | :12:33. | :12:37. | |
warriors so richly deserve. Crumbling infrastructure will be | :12:38. | :12:41. | |
replaced with new roads, bridges, tunnels and railways, across a | :12:42. | :12:50. | |
beautiful land. Our terrible drug epidemic will slow down and | :12:51. | :12:54. | |
ultimately stop. And our neglected inner cities will see a rebirth of | :12:55. | :13:01. | |
hope, safety and opportunity. Above all else, we will keep our promises | :13:02. | :13:08. | |
to the American people. He is keeping a lid on expectations. I | :13:09. | :13:12. | |
know this is the privilege of any new president, to promise a lot. | :13:13. | :13:16. | |
There is a risk that clip could be played back to him in a year's time. | :13:17. | :13:22. | |
He promised to solve all the problems and fix everything that was | :13:23. | :13:27. | |
broken and heal the sick. It was almost like a messiah. That will be | :13:28. | :13:32. | |
a real challenge for him and for Republicans in Congress, who will | :13:33. | :13:37. | |
have to find ways of turning these promises into reality. He has set a | :13:38. | :13:43. | |
very high bar for them. If we go forward and we see the economy hum | :13:44. | :13:49. | |
along, and those campaign promises, we will see those words come back to | :13:50. | :13:59. | |
haunt him, but if things have not gotten better, it will be a clip | :14:00. | :14:05. | |
played time and time again in campaign commercials. Donald Trump | :14:06. | :14:08. | |
also turned to the issue of violence and murder. The murder rate in 2015 | :14:09. | :14:16. | |
experienced its largest single year increase in nearly half a century. | :14:17. | :14:22. | |
In Chicago, more than 4000 people were shot last year alone, and the | :14:23. | :14:27. | |
murder rate so far this year has been even higher. | :14:28. | :14:31. | |
America experienced its largest single-year increase | :14:32. | :14:35. | |
From 2014 to 2015 there was a 10.8% increase in murders - | :14:36. | :14:40. | |
but the murder rate - that's the number of | :14:41. | :14:44. | |
murders per 100,000 - went up by more in 1979, | :14:45. | :14:49. | |
And the overall trend murder rate, is down past two decades - | :14:50. | :15:05. | |
that's since a peak in the 1970s, 80s and early 90s. | :15:06. | :15:09. | |
'In Chicago, more than 4,000 people | :15:10. | :15:14. | |
were shot last year alone, and the murder rate so far this year | :15:15. | :15:20. | |
Indeed, there were 4,331 shooting victims last year. | :15:21. | :15:28. | |
According to the most up to date Chicago Police Department data | :15:29. | :15:33. | |
for 2017, there have been 94 murders between the start of the year | :15:34. | :15:36. | |
That's fewer than the 98 for the same period last year. | :15:37. | :15:44. | |
So the number of murders has gone down slightly year-on-year. I guess | :15:45. | :15:52. | |
the question I thought when Mr Trump brought this up is why he keeps | :15:53. | :15:58. | |
returning to Chicago, and to the issue of murder? Like many | :15:59. | :16:03. | |
presidents and leaders, it is easier to enact the policies you want if | :16:04. | :16:08. | |
you paint a picture of a country in crisis. When Donald Kum talks about | :16:09. | :16:15. | |
runaway crime and runaway murder, it makes it easier to talk about his | :16:16. | :16:24. | |
policies. -- Donald Trump. Talking about crimes committed by | :16:25. | :16:29. | |
undocumented workers, he pointed up undocumented workers, he pointed up | :16:30. | :16:32. | |
to the balcony and said that these were families of people who were | :16:33. | :16:40. | |
victims of crimes committed by undocumented workers. All of this is | :16:41. | :16:45. | |
to advance a policy end, to create an environment where he can get | :16:46. | :16:50. | |
Congress and the American public behind his various actions to try to | :16:51. | :16:56. | |
address what he sees as a problem. Thank you. No doubt we will be | :16:57. | :16:58. | |
talking the same time tomorrow. The head of Uber is in trouble | :16:59. | :17:03. | |
after this video of him verbally abusing one of his drivers | :17:04. | :17:07. | |
is revealed. The car maker Ford could cut | :17:08. | :17:20. | |
more than 11,000 jobs Leaked documents seen by the BBC | :17:21. | :17:22. | |
show the company is concerned Our correspondent | :17:23. | :17:26. | |
Brian Meechan has more. At the moment there are 655,000 | :17:27. | :17:40. | |
engines made here in Bridgend every year. But those contracts are coming | :17:41. | :17:47. | |
to an end, and by 2021 there is only guaranteed work of hundred and 20 | :17:48. | :17:53. | |
5000. So that means that the company, the in the leaked | :17:54. | :17:57. | |
documents, has made it clear that it will not be able to keep the | :17:58. | :18:01. | |
workforce it has right now, and it would go down to something like 600. | :18:02. | :18:09. | |
It has also pointed out the the inefficiencies here in Bridgend. | :18:10. | :18:14. | |
Ford says The Only Way Is Essex can attracting new work is by getting | :18:15. | :18:20. | |
rid of those inefficiencies to make sure that they can compete globally. | :18:21. | :18:27. | |
This is Outside Source live from the BBC newsroom. | :18:28. | :18:30. | |
France's centre right Presidential candidate Francois Fillon has said | :18:31. | :18:34. | |
a judge will place him under investigation over | :18:35. | :18:35. | |
a fake job scandal - but he won't stand down. | :18:36. | :18:51. | |
The two accountants responsible for announcing the wrong film for best | :18:52. | :19:03. | |
picture at the Oscars will not be working for the Academy again. | :19:04. | :19:07. | |
The UK government has suffered its first defeat over | :19:08. | :19:09. | |
the Brexit bill in the House of Lords - that's the upper house | :19:10. | :19:12. | |
It's over an amendment guaranteeing the rights of EU citizens | :19:13. | :19:16. | |
They have voted. Contents, 358. Not contents, 256, so the contents have | :19:17. | :19:53. | |
it. That debate is still going on. This is the live feed we have coming | :19:54. | :19:56. | |
in. The Lord is not quite as busy as it was earlier. | :19:57. | :19:59. | |
To explain what's happened - the lower house - | :20:00. | :20:01. | |
the House of Commons - passed this bill a couple of weeks | :20:02. | :20:04. | |
But the upper house - the Lords - has now voted for this amendment. | :20:05. | :20:08. | |
That means that the bill now has to go back to the Commons. | :20:09. | :20:11. | |
Here is a quote from David Davis, the Brexit minister. He said he was | :20:12. | :20:22. | |
expecting Parliamentary ping-pong. That is a good phrase, because this | :20:23. | :20:29. | |
bill could go back and forth several times. Let's get some help | :20:30. | :20:34. | |
describing what has happened. Tom Bateman is live for us in | :20:35. | :20:37. | |
Westminster. Is the government in the Commons is likely to back down | :20:38. | :20:42. | |
on this amendment? I don't think they have any intention of giving | :20:43. | :20:46. | |
ground on this. That's because it was always their aim, their hope and | :20:47. | :20:51. | |
their desire to get this bill through the UK Parliament, that | :20:52. | :20:57. | |
authorises Theresa May to start the Brexit process, to go on and begin | :20:58. | :21:03. | |
those Brexit negotiations. They wanted to do that without any | :21:04. | :21:07. | |
conditions being slapped on them by MPs or members of the House of | :21:08. | :21:11. | |
Lords. They wanted to go to other member states with a completely free | :21:12. | :21:17. | |
hand to negotiate. That is why the bill to authorise them to do this is | :21:18. | :21:21. | |
a single sheet of paper, simply saying that the government have the | :21:22. | :21:26. | |
right to start this process. You are seeing members of the House of | :21:27. | :21:31. | |
Lords, unelected members of the second house, trying to gain some | :21:32. | :21:36. | |
control of this process, particularly on the issue of the | :21:37. | :21:40. | |
rights of EU citizens, which they think should be guaranteed in the | :21:41. | :21:45. | |
UK, for practical and moral reasons. Some people watching might wonder | :21:46. | :21:50. | |
what it has got to do with them. Those in the House of Commons were | :21:51. | :21:55. | |
elected. They are acting on a referendum that was voted on by the | :21:56. | :22:00. | |
whole country. And here are people who were not elected trying to push | :22:01. | :22:07. | |
the course of an elected government. The House of Lords has an important | :22:08. | :22:12. | |
constitutional role, because it is fair to revise laws. They are | :22:13. | :22:16. | |
unelected, but people who are there on the advice of the Prime Minister, | :22:17. | :22:22. | |
effectively -- effectively appointed by the Queen. They tend to be people | :22:23. | :22:28. | |
from business, industry or journalism who are very experienced. | :22:29. | :22:33. | |
They would argue that their role in revising laws has been successful | :22:34. | :22:38. | |
over the years. They would say that is all they are attempting to do | :22:39. | :22:44. | |
here. Once it goes back to the House of Commons, it is possible that the | :22:45. | :22:47. | |
MPs wiped off that amendment and then it could go back to the House | :22:48. | :22:56. | |
of Lords. A couple of viewers in the UK have been asking why the Lords by | :22:57. | :22:58. | |
getting involved, so hopefully that helps to explain it. | :22:59. | :23:01. | |
A video has emerged of its boss Travis Kalanick swearing at an Uber | :23:02. | :23:06. | |

He's spoken to the BBC's "100 Days" programme. | :24:50. | :24:52. | |

That was not a speech that was meant to be taken literally, because there | :24:56. | :25:11. | |
is double entry book-keeping in the world, and one must ask, how do you | :25:12. | :25:18. | |

notions about strong economic growth. Well, where is that coming | :25:22. | :25:34. | |
from? That is Alan Greenspan. Some breaking sports news | :25:35. | :25:46. |
