:00:12. > :00:18.Hello, this is Outside Source. These are the main stories here in the BBC

:00:19. > :00:21.News room. WikiLeaks has published documents which it says contain

:00:22. > :00:25.details of hacking methods used by the CIA. After a long silence, the

:00:26. > :00:30.US State Department has held its first press conference since

:00:31. > :00:34.President Trump took office. Barbara Plett Usher was there. She will be

:00:35. > :00:38.here live to tell us what was said. Japan says North Korea has entered a

:00:39. > :00:41.new stage of threat, since it launched four ballistic missiles

:00:42. > :00:46.towards the Sea of Japan. We'll do a BBC reality check on whether that

:00:47. > :00:50.can be said to be true. And in Outside Source sport. It's been a

:00:51. > :00:54.chastening evening for Arsenal. Thrashed at home by Bayern Munich in

:00:55. > :00:55.the Champions League. Not long since they were thrashed at Bayern Munich

:00:56. > :01:17.in much the same fashion. There's been a press conference ats

:01:18. > :01:21.the US State Department. That wouldn't normally be headline news.

:01:22. > :01:24.But let's talk to Barbara Plett Usher and she can explain, hi

:01:25. > :01:29.Barbara, that this is an event of note. Yes, it's the first briefing

:01:30. > :01:36.that the State Department has had in six weeks. We used to get them every

:01:37. > :01:40.single day. Even in between transition administrations, there's

:01:41. > :01:44.been a hiatus of a few days. The place was packed. As you can

:01:45. > :01:49.imagine, there were questions about why the State Department had been

:01:50. > :01:52.silent for so long. The spokesman Mark Toner put it up to the

:01:53. > :01:57.administration finding its sea legs, he said. Presumably that means that

:01:58. > :02:00.the Secretary of State was coming up to speed with the department and

:02:01. > :02:04.coming up to speed with the White House. Mr Toner said he contacted

:02:05. > :02:07.White House regularly and was building relationships with his

:02:08. > :02:12.foreign counterparts etc, so he was busy. He didn't really address the

:02:13. > :02:15.glaring lack of public diplomacy. Even more so, there were a lot of

:02:16. > :02:19.questions about the State Department budget, because Mr Trump wants to

:02:20. > :02:24.cut it. Up to 37%, which is a lot. That would not only be just the

:02:25. > :02:28.State Department but foreign aid. Here Mr Toner talked about the

:02:29. > :02:30.Secretary of State wanting to defend diplomacy, looking at ways to

:02:31. > :02:37.resource the State Department. He also used words like "reassess,

:02:38. > :02:40.reevaluate, efficiencies, avoid duplications" that kind of

:02:41. > :02:44.discussion about budget cuts, frankly. That was quite a measured

:02:45. > :02:49.tone, I thought, given some of the very strong opposition to the budget

:02:50. > :02:54.cuts from former diplomats who say if you cut US soft power that's a

:02:55. > :02:57.threat to national security. You mention Mark Toner, let's listen to

:02:58. > :03:02.some of the things you heard him say. The State Department got a lot

:03:03. > :03:05.of tough questions. The toughest were probably on Iran and this

:03:06. > :03:13.revised travel ban that was released yesterday. Let me just revisit this.

:03:14. > :03:17.My point about all of this is - I understand the power of people to

:03:18. > :03:20.people exchanges and having Iranians come to this country and experience

:03:21. > :03:24.this country and the cultural exchange that entails and the

:03:25. > :03:27.broader goodwill that can build. But I think before all of that, we have

:03:28. > :03:31.to put the safety and security of the American people. It's because of

:03:32. > :03:36.that, that they would have been added to this list.

:03:37. > :03:42.What did you make of that? Well, he really got a push back on the whole

:03:43. > :03:45.logic behind the travel ban. It was very much focussed on Iran. A lot of

:03:46. > :03:49.the people affected are Iranians. Iran is not like a lot of the other

:03:50. > :03:54.countries on the list of banned countries. It's not a failed state.

:03:55. > :03:58.It's not a state in perpetual conflict which has lost control of

:03:59. > :04:03.its databases or can't control its borders. It is a rival to the US, an

:04:04. > :04:06.enemy perceived by many as such. The policy of the former administration

:04:07. > :04:10.was engagement. This is a real change. As many here know, a lot of

:04:11. > :04:13.citizens of Iran don't necessarily support their government so why

:04:14. > :04:16.punish them for the policies of their government? Mr Toner stuck to

:04:17. > :04:19.the line. He says look, it's on the list of states that sponsor

:04:20. > :04:23.terrorism. It has shown to be able to export terrorism. This is about

:04:24. > :04:28.the security of the American people, but interestingly he was asked, is

:04:29. > :04:30.this about Iran getting better vetting procedures in place, which

:04:31. > :04:35.is what the line about the travel ban is or is it about coming off the

:04:36. > :04:39.state sponsors of terrorists list, a whole other issue? He wasn't really

:04:40. > :04:43.able to answer that. The next clip I want to play concerns South Korea,

:04:44. > :04:47.or the Korean peninsula really. There's been a deployment by America

:04:48. > :04:50.of an antimissile system in South Korea. Let's hear the response to

:04:51. > :04:55.questions about that. We've been very clear in our conversation was

:04:56. > :04:59.China that this is not meant to be a threat and it's not a threat to them

:05:00. > :05:05.or any other power in the region. It is a defensive system. It is in

:05:06. > :05:08.place, or it will be in place, because of North Korea's provocative

:05:09. > :05:10.behaviour. This is the latest evidence that the Trump

:05:11. > :05:16.administration doesn't seem overly concerned about upsetting the

:05:17. > :05:19.Chinese. Yes, perhaps that, but also I think it's evidence of the sense

:05:20. > :05:22.of the growing threat from North Korea. This is something that Mr

:05:23. > :05:28.Toner really emphasised as well. Also the White House has been

:05:29. > :05:32.emphasising this stepped up activity of ballistic missile tests, which

:05:33. > :05:36.makes people in the region, also the Americans, worry about being

:05:37. > :05:39.targeted by North Korea, its ability to hit them. This ballistic missile

:05:40. > :05:43.defence system has been in the works for a long time. It's being moved in

:05:44. > :05:47.now, according to the State Department, because of this

:05:48. > :05:51.increased activities and as Mr Toner was saying, it's defensive. It's not

:05:52. > :05:54.meant to be a threat to China. China worried about the powerful radars,

:05:55. > :05:58.it sees that as a threat. This was brought up a lot in the briefing

:05:59. > :06:03.today because secretary Tillerson is going to Asia next week, visiting

:06:04. > :06:07.China, Japan, South Korea. North Korea will be a big topic. That will

:06:08. > :06:10.be the message to China - this is not a threat to you. The message

:06:11. > :06:16.will be, how can we come up with new ways of looking at how to deal with

:06:17. > :06:20.this growing North Korean threat. Mr Toner said they were looking at

:06:21. > :06:26.tougher sanctions. They were looking at implementing existing sanctions.

:06:27. > :06:31.That was a message to China. China is key in that. Other options are

:06:32. > :06:36.being examined as well, though he didn't say what they are. The fact

:06:37. > :06:39.that Mr Tillerson is going to Asia next week shows the priority of the

:06:40. > :06:44.Trump administration on dealing with this issue. I'm trying to understand

:06:45. > :06:49.how the State Department fits into the Trump administration more

:06:50. > :06:54.broadly. Did you feel this was a department in sync with the White

:06:55. > :06:58.House? It's difficult to say. As Saif said before, this is the first

:06:59. > :07:04.real public exchange we've had in six weeks. We have met, some of us

:07:05. > :07:07.have met off the record with Mr Tillerson, exchanged ideas. But he's

:07:08. > :07:11.been very quiet. The department has been very quiet. The department is

:07:12. > :07:14.not staffed up. There are 118 senior position that's need to be filled.

:07:15. > :07:18.Two of them have been filled. That's very key with the State Department

:07:19. > :07:22.working together with the White House and determining whether it is

:07:23. > :07:25.in sync with the White House. It's difficult to say. I think the bigger

:07:26. > :07:29.question right now that we have here is how much influence does the State

:07:30. > :07:33.Department have on the White House or just even in policy discussions

:07:34. > :07:36.amongst the different agencies. You no, the Pentagon, the White House,

:07:37. > :07:39.the national Security Council, the State Department. These are all

:07:40. > :07:43.groups that work together onness stab lirk foreign policy. Because

:07:44. > :07:47.the State Department has been so, at least, publicly absent, we can't get

:07:48. > :07:50.a feel for it. It looks, on the face of it, that it doesn't have much of

:07:51. > :07:53.a say. Mr Toner said that the Secretary of State did have regular

:07:54. > :07:56.contact, personally, with the President and with people at the

:07:57. > :08:01.White House. But there is a whole issue of the State Department as a

:08:02. > :08:04.whole being used and publicly setting forth its agenda and being

:08:05. > :08:07.involved in the debate here in Washington and that hasn't happened.

:08:08. > :08:11.Thank you. We look forward to the second press conference of the Trump

:08:12. > :08:14.administration from Mr Trump's State Department.

:08:15. > :08:18.Time for sport. If you're an Arsenal fan, you may want to look away now.

:08:19. > :08:24.Arsenal against Bayern Munich, second leg of the last 16 tie. Olly

:08:25. > :08:29.foster is with us. Each time I kept checking the BBC live page, the

:08:30. > :08:33.score had changed. Yeah they've been busy here. Waiting for the Trump

:08:34. > :08:37.press conference with much anticipation. The final whistle has

:08:38. > :08:40.gone at the Emirates. Arsenal have been knocked out of Europe, once

:08:41. > :08:45.again, for the third time in five seasons by Bayern Munich. Always

:08:46. > :08:50.likely because they got thrashed three weeks ago 5-1, in the first

:08:51. > :08:53.leg. Bayern Munich have beaten Arsenal again 5-1 at the Emirates.

:08:54. > :09:00.That is Arsene Wenger's biggest defeat at the Emirates. They go out

:09:01. > :09:03.of Europe 10-2 on aggregate. Absolutely humbled and humiliated,

:09:04. > :09:09.Arsene Wenger's Arsenal. I will give you the story of the match in a

:09:10. > :09:14.moment. Lots of placards out at the fulltime whistle asking, "Enough is

:09:15. > :09:20.enough, Wenger out." This was a planned protest march saying much

:09:21. > :09:23.the same, before kickoff at the Emirates this evening. Well, this is

:09:24. > :09:29.the story of the match. Can you believe, it Arsenal had the lead at

:09:30. > :09:34.halftime. Theo Walcott gave them the lead. Terrible defending from Manuel

:09:35. > :09:48.Neuer let one through at the near post. But Colcielny who was injured,

:09:49. > :09:55.he was sent off. Goals followed from Robben, Costa. Bayern Munich winning

:09:56. > :09:59.5-1. That is 10-2 on aggregate to them. Arsenal out and we wait to

:10:00. > :10:03.hear from Arsene Wenger, because since they lost in that first leg,

:10:04. > :10:08.it has been a miserable month or so for Arsene Wenger. Remember, he was

:10:09. > :10:12.going to say exactly what his future held after what 20-odd years at the

:10:13. > :10:17.Gunners, over 20 years. I think that could be it for Arsene Wenger. How

:10:18. > :10:21.do you come back from that? Also 3-1 to Real Madrid against Napoli in the

:10:22. > :10:25.other tie. They go through, the holders, 6-2 on aggregate.

:10:26. > :10:28.Thank you very much. While Olly was speaking, I spotted this tweet from

:10:29. > :10:32.Arsenal. This was a little bit earlier in the match. Saying that's

:10:33. > :10:36.exactly the start we needed. They went 1-0 up. Not sure what the

:10:37. > :10:41.Twitter account has said since then. Let's talk about cycling. The furore

:10:42. > :10:47.around the delivery of a package to Sir Bradley Wiggins in 2011

:10:48. > :10:53.continues. This is a letter to a British MP from the head of Team

:10:54. > :10:56.Sky, Dave Brailsford. In it he admits mistakes were made around the

:10:57. > :11:00.delivery. He's denied that the team broke anti-doping rules. He went on

:11:01. > :11:04.to say: Regrettably those mistakes mean that we have not been able to

:11:05. > :11:10.provide the complete set of records that we should have. We accept full

:11:11. > :11:16.responsibility for this." It's also worth noting a number of Team Sky

:11:17. > :11:21.riders have been tweeting support. "It shouldn't need saying, but we

:11:22. > :11:24.all back Dave Brailsford 100%." That looked like it was a coordinated

:11:25. > :11:28.push. A number of riders tweeted in a small space of time. It looks like

:11:29. > :11:34.some people, perhaps, didn't get the memo. Because Chris Froome, the

:11:35. > :11:38.leader of Team Sky, the man who won the Tour De France last year was

:11:39. > :11:42.tweeting about an amazing dinner about a restaurant in Cape Town. He

:11:43. > :11:46.didn't mention anything to do with Dave Brailsford. By the way, this is

:11:47. > :11:53.also interesting, I spotted this. Dan Roan, the BBC sports editor

:11:54. > :11:57.messaging the chairman of Team Sky. "Please can I ask if you're

:11:58. > :12:01.disappointed Chris Froome is yet to tweet any support for Dave

:12:02. > :12:08.Brailsford? I keep checking but no reply yet.

:12:09. > :12:13.Next the Brazilian football club which is on its first foreign trip

:12:14. > :12:20.after a plane crash killed most of the first team. They're playing

:12:21. > :12:24.against a Venezuelan team. Here's their coach describing what the trip

:12:25. > :12:34.means to the club. TRANSLATION: The most important

:12:35. > :12:38.thing is that we will play in Copa Liabertores, where the best teams of

:12:39. > :12:43.previous year always return. I hope we can be a big team in such a big

:12:44. > :12:47.competition. We know the difficulty was for us to stand again, to

:12:48. > :12:53.rebuild the team. What is at stake is much more than a simple match.

:12:54. > :12:58.What is at stake is the continuity of a team that passed through a very

:12:59. > :13:04.difficult moment and is now standing again. I wanted to show you this.

:13:05. > :13:08.This is a clip from a game in Brazil, featuring a game called

:13:09. > :13:11.commercial FC. They've just conceded a goal. If we play on the video.

:13:12. > :13:15.You'll see they're about to kick off. Concentrate on this man who

:13:16. > :13:20.walks to the side and this guy who is about to do something special.

:13:21. > :13:28.There was no time to wait for the equaliser. So he just did it

:13:29. > :13:43.straight away. Pretty good, huh? Let me play you the whole thing.

:13:44. > :13:49.It bears quite a few viewings that one. A beautiful strike. They went

:13:50. > :13:54.on to win the game 4-1. It obviously inspired everyone. Coming up, we're

:13:55. > :13:58.going to look at pollution in Los Angeles. There's been a huge survey

:13:59. > :14:05.of a thousand cities around the world and it's been found that, this

:14:06. > :14:10.won't come as a surprise, it has the worst rush-hour traffic of any of

:14:11. > :14:15.those thousand cities. We're looking at what that's doing to air

:14:16. > :14:24.pollution. Tomorrow the lawyer acting on behalf

:14:25. > :14:32.of the Azidis, DYazidis will ask the UN to begin an investigation for the

:14:33. > :14:34.crime of genocide. The wife of the actor George Clooney told Fiona

:14:35. > :14:41.Bruce why the cause is so important to her. I have been to refuges in

:14:42. > :14:45.Germany and I've interviewed former child soldiers and young girls who

:14:46. > :14:48.were raped and enslaved by Isis. It's been the most harrowing

:14:49. > :14:52.testimony I've ever heard. We know it's genocide. The UN has said so.

:14:53. > :14:58.Isis is trying to destroy them as a group. We are allowing it to happen

:14:59. > :15:03.without actually calling Isis to account. What do you think can be

:15:04. > :15:07.done practically to bring Islamic State to justice? The first step

:15:08. > :15:12.that should be taken is for evidence to be collected on the ground. We

:15:13. > :15:17.know that it's disappearing. There are mass graves that are being

:15:18. > :15:23.discovered, just a few days ago in Mosul, a huge mass grave which is

:15:24. > :15:28.thought to have 4,000 bodies in it. Isis is a big bureaucracy believe it

:15:29. > :15:31.or not, they're leaving behind documents. You need to collect DNA

:15:32. > :15:34.and phone records. None of that is being done at the moment. You're

:15:35. > :15:39.going to the UN this week. What are you going to be saying there? I'm

:15:40. > :15:41.addressing the UN on the issue of accountability and saying something

:15:42. > :15:45.needs to be done. Why do you think they're not doing it? This is

:15:46. > :15:49.exactly the question that I'll be posing to member states. I'm going

:15:50. > :15:52.to ask them - are the crimes not serious enough for you to

:15:53. > :15:55.investigate? That can't be it, this is genocide. Do you think that

:15:56. > :15:59.there's no evidence for you to collect? That's not right either.

:16:00. > :16:03.There are mass graves whose locations are known, you can start

:16:04. > :16:08.there. The fact that you are now not just a human rights lawyer, you are

:16:09. > :16:12.known because of your marriage to one of Hollywood's biggest stars,

:16:13. > :16:16.does that help in terms of giving you a bigger platform and getting

:16:17. > :16:22.more people to listen to you? Lots of my work takes place behind closed

:16:23. > :16:31.doors and that is not ever seen. I think if there are more people who

:16:32. > :16:36.now understand what's happening about the Yazidis and Isis, then I

:16:37. > :16:40.think it's a really good thing to give that case the extra publicity

:16:41. > :16:44.that it may get. But, you know, if you don't have a good case, and you

:16:45. > :16:55.don't have a good message, shining a light on it won't get you very far.

:16:56. > :17:02.This is Outside Source. WikiLeaks has published thousands of documents

:17:03. > :17:08.which it says contained doe tails of -- details of hacking methods used

:17:09. > :17:12.by the CIA. I should say there's been no

:17:13. > :17:17.confirmation of those claims by WikiLeaks. It's yet to be confirmed

:17:18. > :17:23.by the CIA or any media outlets. The fallout between North Korea and

:17:24. > :17:30.Malaysia over the murder of Kim Jock nap has -- Na -- Jong Nam has

:17:31. > :17:35.intensified. The Malaysian Prime Minister has responded saying, this

:17:36. > :17:38.is an abhorrent act holding our citizens hostage. It's in total

:17:39. > :17:45.disregard of all international law. He enforced the exact same order on

:17:46. > :17:50.North Koreans in Malaysia. It's estimated there are 11 Malaysians in

:17:51. > :17:55.North Korea. And up to a thousand North Koreans in Malaysia. I've been

:17:56. > :18:01.speaking to Michael Bristow to get his analysis on whether this is

:18:02. > :18:07.legal from either country? It's perhaps not legal but who's to stop

:18:08. > :18:12.North Korea? Over the years it's done things to contravene nuclear

:18:13. > :18:16.sanctions, missile tests and launches, it's got away from them.

:18:17. > :18:21.It might not be legal, but it might not matter. North Korea wants to put

:18:22. > :18:26.pressure on Malaysia, conducting an investigation into the death of the

:18:27. > :18:30.half brother of the North Korean leader, who was killed, Kuala Lumpur

:18:31. > :18:34.airport in the middle of February by a nerve agent wiped on his face by

:18:35. > :18:37.two women. North Korea wants pressure on that investigation. It's

:18:38. > :18:43.not happy with how Malaysia is doing it. By holding Malaysian citizens

:18:44. > :18:48.effectively hostage in North Korea, it is putting that pressure on

:18:49. > :18:50.Malaysia. What would it like to be different about the investigation?

:18:51. > :18:54.What's the outcome it would like to achieve from the pressure? It's

:18:55. > :18:58.difficult to say. Because North Korea's a secretive state. It

:18:59. > :19:02.doesn't really say what it wants. Essentially it doesn't like the

:19:03. > :19:09.postmortem examination verdict, results which said that Kim Jong Nam

:19:10. > :19:12.was killed by a nerve agent. It suggests that he was perhaps died of

:19:13. > :19:15.a heart attack, which would lead people to suspect it was natural

:19:16. > :19:18.causes, there wasn't a conspiracy to kill him in the first place. It

:19:19. > :19:23.would lead people not to point the finger at North Korea. Essentially,

:19:24. > :19:26.they want people not to say that they killed this half brother, but

:19:27. > :19:30.of course, they haven't said that publicly. The US has announced it's

:19:31. > :19:36.begun deploying a missile defence system to South Korea. This is it,

:19:37. > :19:40.the terminal high altitude area defence system or THUD. China is not

:19:41. > :19:47.happy about this. TRANSLATION: We oppose the

:19:48. > :19:50.deployment of this in South Korea. We are definitely taking necessary

:19:51. > :19:55.measures to safeguard our own security interests. China has

:19:56. > :20:00.expressed its position to the US and South Korea on many occasions,

:20:01. > :20:06.through multiple channels. Here's Michael on that story. It's

:20:07. > :20:11.political really. By deploying this defence shield in South Korea,

:20:12. > :20:14.advanced weaponry, even though it's defensive, it's aimed at

:20:15. > :20:18.counteracting any potential attack from North Korea, China doesn't like

:20:19. > :20:24.it. It's on its own doorstep. It believes it tilts the balance of

:20:25. > :20:27.power in Asia. It shows America's commitment towards South Korea and

:20:28. > :20:30.commitment to east Asia. It doesn't want America pouring in more arms

:20:31. > :20:34.and men into the region. It wants to push them away. That is essentially

:20:35. > :20:37.why it's angry about this thing. Yesterday we were talking about

:20:38. > :20:41.North Korea launching four ballistic missiles towards the Sea of Japan.

:20:42. > :20:46.We were saying three of them fell into what is called Japan's

:20:47. > :20:52.exclusive economic zone. You can see that area highlighted, marked in

:20:53. > :20:57.white and marked in red. The Japanese prime minister had

:20:58. > :21:00.responded to those missiles by saying, this clearly shows North

:21:01. > :21:05.Korea has entered a new stage of threat. Well, let's assess that

:21:06. > :21:09.claim with the BBC reality check. First of all, has a North Korean

:21:10. > :21:12.missile travelled this close to Japan before? Well, it has. It

:21:13. > :21:19.happened last August. You can see the BBC reporting on it online.

:21:20. > :21:22.Second, has North Korea's weaponry become more advanced? We don't know

:21:23. > :21:26.what type of missiles were used. This is the picture the North

:21:27. > :21:30.Koreans released of the launch. Many experts believe the missiles are

:21:31. > :21:34.likely to have been medium range, which wouldn't suggest North Korea

:21:35. > :21:41.has advanced its capabilities. But all four were fired at the same

:21:42. > :21:43.time. According to Mark Fitzpatrick from the international institute of

:21:44. > :21:47.strategic studies, that is significant. The latest tests

:21:48. > :21:53.yesterday weren't a new system. They were a well tested system. But the

:21:54. > :21:58.fact that they fired a salvo of four at once shows a good skill at

:21:59. > :22:03.combination firing. And that they were directed against Japan, into

:22:04. > :22:06.Japan's exclusive economic zone. What they even said that they were

:22:07. > :22:09.directed against American bases in Japan. That's pretty threatening.

:22:10. > :22:14.I'd say that's a lightening of the threat, yes. It appears the military

:22:15. > :22:18.threat from north cee to its neighbours has -- North Korea to its

:22:19. > :22:23.neighbours has increased even if the following is not new.

:22:24. > :22:26.Next, a report from James Cook, our correspondent in Los Angeles, which

:22:27. > :22:31.is a city that out of a thousand looked at in a survey has been found

:22:32. > :22:37.to have the worst rush hour. James has been looking at how that impacts

:22:38. > :22:42.on air quality The City of Angels is bedevilled by

:22:43. > :22:46.traffic. Every year commuters here spend more than 100 hours going

:22:47. > :22:49.nowhere in rush hour jams As bad as this looks right now, with every

:22:50. > :22:55.passing hour it's going to get worse. Eeconomists reckon it costs

:22:56. > :23:00.LA $10 billion annually. Now technology is fighting back. We're

:23:01. > :23:04.looking at the road network in Los Angeles... This company uses live

:23:05. > :23:08.data from 300 million cars around the world to poipt drivers in the

:23:09. > :23:11.right direction -- point. Increasingly the information it

:23:12. > :23:17.gathers in this control room is used to shape policy too. Instead of

:23:18. > :23:21.building an entirely new highway, maybe it's targeted investment,

:23:22. > :23:25.targeted spending in bottle necks, targeted spending on solutions like

:23:26. > :23:30.smarter parking or intelligent traffic signals. With the data we

:23:31. > :23:34.collect public officials can customise what has the maximum bang

:23:35. > :23:40.for the buck in their cities. All of which sounds a long way from this.

:23:41. > :23:44.# I get around... LA's love affair with the car is the stuff of legend.

:23:45. > :23:54.Free wheeling lifestyle had a deadly result. # from the 50s to the 70s

:23:55. > :23:58.smog choked this city causing premature deaths. The outlook now is

:23:59. > :24:02.much brighter. Modern day California has some of the toughest emissions

:24:03. > :24:08.standards in the world and smog has been vastly reduced. But there's

:24:09. > :24:14.still work to do. Our air quality is nowhere near where it needs to be.

:24:15. > :24:21.It's still not healthy to breathe on perhaps 100 or more days every year.

:24:22. > :24:24.Essentially, Los Angeles and the greater surrounding area still has

:24:25. > :24:31.the worst air quality in the United States. Public transport is part of

:24:32. > :24:34.the answer, compared to other big cities, the LA Metro is quiet in

:24:35. > :24:37.rush hour. It's becoming more popular for a sum pull reason.

:24:38. > :24:42.Because traffic is totally insane. Traffic. Because of the traffic. Too

:24:43. > :24:46.much traffic. The traffic's horrible. Horrible. I would be

:24:47. > :24:53.sitting in traffic for like hours instead. So I take the subway. More

:24:54. > :24:54.from the BBC, so I can breathe series tomorrow. Thanks for

:24:55. > :25:10.watching. Bye-bye. Hello, this is the forecast that

:25:11. > :25:18.doesn't just look at this week's weather, but goes into next week

:25:19. > :25:20.too. And next week, we're becoming more certain
