Welcome to Outside Source. Some of the main stories. Donald

:00:13.:00:18.

Trump signed a new executive order which will roll back row of the

:00:19.:00:22.

President Obama's climate change policies. With today's executive

:00:23.:00:31.

action I am taking historic steps to lift the restrictions on American

:00:32.:00:36.

energy, reverse government intrusion and the cancelled job killing

:00:37.:00:41.

regulations. Top Democrats are calling for the man leading the

:00:42.:00:45.

Trump rusher enquiry to step down. He was a key member of the Trump

:00:46.:00:52.

transition team. It represents an area of conflict. Theresa May will

:00:53.:00:57.

trigger Article 50 tomorrow. Today, the Scottish parliament voted to

:00:58.:01:01.

support a second independence referendum happening. The people of

:01:02.:01:06.

Scotland must also have their say. Scotland's future should be in

:01:07.:01:11.

Scotland's hands. We will talk about Lionel Messi being banned for four

:01:12.:01:14.

days in sport. -- four games. Our lead story on Outside Source is

:01:15.:01:33.

Donald Trump has begun dismantling some of America's high-profile

:01:34.:01:37.

climate change policies. He signed an executive order in the last few

:01:38.:01:42.

hours and he will be distancing himself from the Paris agreement.

:01:43.:01:46.

This was a substantial, international deal that set out to

:01:47.:01:50.

limit carbon emissions around the world. I have been speaking to one

:01:51.:01:56.

of the people who helped broker it. I am deeply concerned for the US

:01:57.:02:02.

economy. I am not concerned for the Paris agreement or the de

:02:03.:02:12.

carbonisation of the global economy, I am concerned about the US economy.

:02:13.:02:14.

It is removing the incentives for the US economy to continue to

:02:15.:02:17.

progress into the 21st century and inviting them to look back into the

:02:18.:02:21.

20th century. It is a little bit trying to rescue Kodak in a world of

:02:22.:02:26.

digital photography. It just doesn't work. It doesn't make sense. While

:02:27.:02:32.

there may be Americans watching and appreciating your concern, most

:02:33.:02:38.

people will be looking to you and thinking, why aren't you concerned

:02:39.:02:42.

about the Paris agreement? I don't think it will have a huge effect on

:02:43.:02:48.

other countries. This repeal that we here in the news today comes within

:02:49.:02:53.

48 hours of China having announced that they are closing at the last

:02:54.:02:57.

coal plant in Beijing because of health reasons. Reflecting and very

:02:58.:03:06.

much itemising what President Sheen playing has said that China will

:03:07.:03:13.

lead the world. This comes 24 hours after India announced they will move

:03:14.:03:18.

to 65% renewable energy. The world is moving forward using renewable

:03:19.:03:23.

energy. What about America as a country which produces a great deal

:03:24.:03:27.

of omissions and those omissions have an impact on the climate. Are

:03:28.:03:31.

you not concerned about Mr Trump from the point of view? It depends

:03:32.:03:37.

on what he is trying to do. If the measure he is trying to put forward

:03:38.:03:41.

has the purpose of reviving the coal industry in the United States, that

:03:42.:03:49.

is futile, it is completely futile. Because coal is dead in the United

:03:50.:03:53.

States, not because of regulation but economics, you cannot produce

:03:54.:04:01.

energy from coal at a competitive price. Coal energy is 50 and $88 a

:04:02.:04:10.

megawatt an hour. Renewable is already at 30 dollars a megawatt and

:04:11.:04:18.

rotting. So it is sensible that countries are moving towards

:04:19.:04:24.

renewable energy, coal is dead. People who voted to Mr Trump who are

:04:25.:04:30.

concerned about jobs, said even if a deceleration in the process would

:04:31.:04:36.

have an impact on my family. Those who are concerned about jobs, they

:04:37.:04:40.

should be more concerned the night. Today there are ten times more jobs

:04:41.:04:45.

in renewable energy in the United States than in coal. There are four

:04:46.:04:51.

times renewable energy jobs in oil and gas. The solar industry is

:04:52.:04:56.

increasing by 6% and the job creation in the United States where

:04:57.:04:58.

as oil and is dropping by 18%. A measure like this is actually

:04:59.:05:15.

stealing jobs away from the United States, it is making products and

:05:16.:05:17.

services in the United States high carbon, that do not have a growing

:05:18.:05:20.

market in other countries. It is reducing the export from the United

:05:21.:05:22.

States and reducing job potential. This should be a concern. More

:05:23.:05:25.

detail on these new policies from Donald Trump, what he is putting in

:05:26.:05:30.

place, his arguments for it and his critics' arguments against it right

:05:31.:05:35.

now on the BBC website. I wonder if this might be the moment Argentina

:05:36.:05:41.

lost its place at the World Cup in Russia next year? Fifa has banned

:05:42.:05:47.

Lionel Messi from Argentina's for World Cup qualifier is. He abused

:05:48.:05:50.

the assistant referee during a home game against Chile on Thursday. It

:05:51.:05:58.

would always be bad news, but particularly now because Argentina

:05:59.:06:03.

is having a hard time qualifying. The first time I had the story, I

:06:04.:06:08.

thought for games was harsh because players criticise assistant referees

:06:09.:06:13.

all the time, so what did he say? He used abusive words to the assistant

:06:14.:06:18.

referee. It does look harsh when you look at the FAQ Neil Taylor from

:06:19.:06:22.

Wales only got one match for his tackle on Seamus Coleman last week.

:06:23.:06:27.

So this four match ban is harsh. He will defend the charge, they will

:06:28.:06:34.

try and get it overturned. But Fifa say it is in line with disciplinary

:06:35.:06:40.

rulings in similar cases. Lionel Messi has scored in both of their

:06:41.:06:44.

last wins. They are playing at the moment, it is a difficult situation

:06:45.:06:48.

and they are missing quite a few players through injury and

:06:49.:06:52.

suspension. There is a chance of them going through in their next

:06:53.:06:55.

couple of games into the World Cup themselves and they are losing 1-0

:06:56.:07:01.

at present so without Lionel Messi, they are struggling. To what degree

:07:02.:07:05.

are they struggling because it leaves some opportunities for the

:07:06.:07:10.

big guns to come back into it? It basically means the top four teams

:07:11.:07:14.

automatically qualify. The fifth placed team goes into qualifier.

:07:15.:07:21.

Usually the fifth placed team news leaders go through, so I will leave

:07:22.:07:26.

you with this caveat bash Brazil, in these fixtures taking place over the

:07:27.:07:30.

next few hours can qualify as being the first team through along with

:07:31.:07:35.

the hosts Russia, obviously to the next World Cup. I will tweak the

:07:36.:07:38.

facts in a moment, if you are interested. And he very much for

:07:39.:07:44.

that. Football qualifies for our sports section and I'm not sure it's

:07:45.:07:49.

smashing cement blocks with your head does. But for this show at

:07:50.:07:52.

least, we will call it a sport because this is a new world record.

:07:53.:08:04.

15 years old. From Bosnia. As a particular skill for smashing these

:08:05.:08:09.

boxes. An unusual technique. It definitely seems to work. The crowd

:08:10.:08:14.

liked it too and they liked it more and more as he went along. Take a

:08:15.:08:32.

look at this. Three to go. He ended up crushing 111 cement blocks in

:08:33.:08:41.

just 35 seconds. He looks drained. I am impressed. The Guinness book of

:08:42.:08:44.

records adjudicators were present and that is what it meant come he

:08:45.:08:49.

got a new record. He will be in the next book. From that too much more

:08:50.:08:54.

serious story because one of the Chinese Super League best-known

:08:55.:08:59.

teams, Shanghai has had a terrible day because part of its stadium has

:09:00.:09:03.

burnt down. These pictures were released by Chinese state TV, CCTV.

:09:04.:09:11.

Flames and smoke billowing out. This is from Tuesday morning. Fortunately

:09:12.:09:16.

there were no casualties. It is not known what caused it. But most of

:09:17.:09:21.

the stands and the pitcher is unaffected. This is a club with

:09:22.:09:26.

serious ambitions, and it signed Carlos Tevez in the off-season. They

:09:27.:09:30.

are not sure if its first home game in three weeks will go ahead.

:09:31.:09:39.

If you haven't heard of quad core 1800, completed by this Swiss skier.

:09:40.:09:51.

It consists of five spins and a few flips. This is the first person to

:09:52.:09:58.

ever land this trick. Afterwards he said he was stoked! Understated. You

:09:59.:10:05.

can see that on the BBC sport website.

:10:06.:10:13.

Back to the news, this was a significant meeting earlier. Those

:10:14.:10:18.

are the pictures. This is the Iranian president, Hassan Rouhani

:10:19.:10:22.

meeting President Putin. We are told they discussed Syria and Yemen. It

:10:23.:10:30.

is very important for both countries, I would say. Because

:10:31.:10:34.

Russia is trying to re-establish itself at the moment as an important

:10:35.:10:44.

actor at the international arena. Russia has been influenced by

:10:45.:10:48.

economic sanctions by the West. So has a run, and they are trying to

:10:49.:10:54.

work together to counter negative economic effects of the sanctions

:10:55.:10:58.

they face. And secondly try to pursue their own goals, in the

:10:59.:11:02.

Middle East and generally on the international arena. This meeting

:11:03.:11:07.

was important to coordinate their efforts. In terms of coordination, I

:11:08.:11:12.

mentioned Syria, did we get any detail on how the Iranians and the

:11:13.:11:16.

Russians might go forward in their actions and Syria? The details of

:11:17.:11:22.

that meeting were not released. It tells you how important the meeting

:11:23.:11:25.

was and maybe how important their agreements were. What we do know is

:11:26.:11:30.

they will enhance their trade agreements, their military

:11:31.:11:34.

agreements and this does mean a lot because Russia does need a lot of

:11:35.:11:40.

new bases to conduct the effective operations. The fact details are not

:11:41.:11:47.

released probably tells more about the importance, rather than the

:11:48.:11:52.

small facts which were released. In the past, these two countries have

:11:53.:11:57.

not always been so close, who instigated this meeting? Which

:11:58.:12:00.

country is driving an increased warmth between the two? Yes, the

:12:01.:12:07.

history was different, but over the past several years, relations were

:12:08.:12:11.

developing and were becoming better and better. Actually, this morning

:12:12.:12:17.

President Putin's spokesman said Russia and Iran had five centuries

:12:18.:12:21.

of good relations. These other words we don't hear from him that often.

:12:22.:12:27.

It shows how both countries are keen and how Russia is keen to develop

:12:28.:12:32.

this cooperation and show the United States that Russia has a lot of

:12:33.:12:37.

allies and even if the United States continues to put pressure on Russia,

:12:38.:12:44.

Russia will still follow its policy. Thank you very much. In a few

:12:45.:12:51.

minutes, we will turn to what is happening in Washington. There is a

:12:52.:12:54.

big discussion around this man, in charge of the committee which is

:12:55.:12:59.

overseeing investigations into the allegations of links between the

:13:00.:13:03.

presidential campaign team of last year and Russia. We will be live

:13:04.:13:06.

later to get the latest on that story.

:13:07.:13:15.

For the first time in 30 years, and you ?1 coin has come into

:13:16.:13:19.

circulation. It has 12 sides and is designed to be harder to copy down

:13:20.:13:22.

the round pound coin which will be phased out by October. Simon

:13:23.:13:28.

Gompertz went to Southend to see if everyone is ready.

:13:29.:13:48.

On a sunny day in Southend, they're keen to get you to spend your pounds

:13:49.:13:51.

but what do people make of the new pound coins?

:13:52.:13:54.

It's got 12 sides, the two colours and it's got various security

:13:55.:13:56.

features because there are so many fakes of the old pound coin.

:13:57.:13:59.

Very small writing, a sort of hologram in there.

:14:00.:14:02.

It's slightly bigger, but slightly thinner.

:14:03.:14:10.

And is coin-operated equipment ready for the new coin?

:14:11.:14:13.

The payphones have been changed, so have most parking metres here.

:14:14.:14:16.

But despite ?100 million being spent on upgrades across the UK,

:14:17.:14:18.

a lot of machines, like this one don't accept it yet.

:14:19.:14:21.

None of these machines have been changed yet.

:14:22.:14:23.

And some businesses have been putting off the upgrade

:14:24.:14:25.

The machines have to be changed to accept both

:14:26.:14:28.

For us, each coin mechanism, which is what takes and reads

:14:29.:14:32.

the coins, is going to cost roughly ?16 for each mech.

:14:33.:14:37.

And over 800 coin mechs across all of our sites.

:14:38.:14:41.

We are looking at sort of over ?12,000 altogether as a company.

:14:42.:14:44.

It does feel a little unfair that we're the ones that have to bear

:14:45.:14:49.

Some businesses are so fed up with coin changes that they've gone

:14:50.:14:55.

over to cards that you charge up at the counter, they've changed

:14:56.:14:58.

You swipe it through and then you're ready to play.

:14:59.:15:07.

We haven't had to change anything at all.

:15:08.:15:10.

We think coins are pretty much dead now.

:15:11.:15:15.

But coins remain very much alive, despite what is happening

:15:16.:15:18.

here and hundreds of millions of the new one pounds are being put

:15:19.:15:21.

If you get hold of old pounds they'll still be useable

:15:22.:15:25.

After that, any old change you still have, you'll have

:15:26.:15:29.

Simon Gompertz, BBC News, Southend-on-Sea.

:15:30.:15:51.

We live at the BBC newsroom. Our lead story concerns Donald Trump. He

:15:52.:16:00.

signed a order running back President Obama's climate change

:16:01.:16:08.

goals. As you know, there are investigations in the US in the

:16:09.:16:11.

first of all, Mr Trump's claimed that Barack Obama ordered a wiretap

:16:12.:16:18.

on him during the presidential campaign of 2016. And,

:16:19.:16:21.

investigations into those alleged ties between Russia and Mr Trump's

:16:22.:16:27.

presidential campaign. The person he is overseeing those probes is this

:16:28.:16:32.

man, Devon Nunez, the Republican congressmen who chairs the house

:16:33.:16:39.

intelligence committee. He found information that Donald Trump was

:16:40.:16:44.

caught up in incidental surveillance. That is when US

:16:45.:16:48.

intelligence is looking at one group of people, and then when they are

:16:49.:16:52.

doing that, they come across someone else. In this case it was Donald

:16:53.:16:58.

Trump and his associates. The Democrats are furious how this is

:16:59.:17:03.

being handled. They said this is what a cover-up to a crime looks

:17:04.:17:12.

like. And John McCain, quoted as saying Nunez should reveal his

:17:13.:17:20.

sources. Next, the top Democrats from the same committee. It would be

:17:21.:17:24.

worthwhile for the chairman to recuse himself from any

:17:25.:17:28.

investigation involving the Trump campaign ordered from transition. He

:17:29.:17:32.

was a key member of the Trump transition team and it represents an

:17:33.:17:39.

area of conflict. It is not normal to go and receive information as the

:17:40.:17:42.

chairman of the committee you cannot share with your own committee

:17:43.:17:47.

members, you don't share with the president particularly if it

:17:48.:17:51.

involves associates of the president. Strange clip that one,

:17:52.:17:55.

lots of microphones in vision but not of them were turned on. Mr Nunez

:17:56.:18:04.

says he has no intention of the accusing himself. The US House

:18:05.:18:13.

intelligence committee chair says he will not share his intelligence

:18:14.:18:16.

sources with other members of the committee. It is complicated but it

:18:17.:18:21.

gets to the heart of how these investigations are working and what

:18:22.:18:27.

relationship those overseeing investigations have the president.

:18:28.:18:31.

Our reporter is live in Washington, DC. Anthony, when we are talking

:18:32.:18:37.

about the source Mr Nunes got his information from, we are referring

:18:38.:18:42.

to someone inside the White House? Certainly someone inside the

:18:43.:18:45.

executive branch of government, it could have been an intelligence

:18:46.:18:50.

officials who works at the executive branch. Mr Nunes went to the White

:18:51.:18:55.

House to meet with this person who showed him the documents, the

:18:56.:18:58.

intelligence reports that had data from those wiretaps that

:18:59.:19:04.

incidentally picked up Trump's communications or someone close to

:19:05.:19:08.

Trump. Then he went back to the capital, held a press conference and

:19:09.:19:11.

them back to the White House to inform President Trump himself about

:19:12.:19:15.

the information contained in these documents and holds another press

:19:16.:19:19.

conference. That is what has impurity Democrats, all of this was

:19:20.:19:23.

done without informing them or the committee and they say it is highly

:19:24.:19:27.

unusual and because of Devon Nunez's ties to the Trump transition team as

:19:28.:19:34.

Adam Shipp pointed out and the fact he is heading up this investigation

:19:35.:19:38.

in the house of Representatives, they thing he should recuse himself,

:19:39.:19:42.

step aside and let someone else head-up the investigation or bring

:19:43.:19:46.

in and outside investigator to do something totally removed from the

:19:47.:19:50.

politics of Congress. Just before I let you go, the lead story, this

:19:51.:19:57.

executive order changing the US policy on climate change affecting

:19:58.:20:01.

the coal and gas embers Billy McClure energies, it is generating a

:20:02.:20:05.

lot of interest. Is it as big in the US media as this Nunes story is

:20:06.:20:15.

rating? It is generating more because at the moment Nunes is not

:20:16.:20:21.

sharing intelligence information with committee members. The

:20:22.:20:24.

announcement will take time to see which direction it goes. People

:20:25.:20:28.

understand just because Donald Trump signed an executive order says they

:20:29.:20:33.

will shift policy, you have to see how it battles out in the courts and

:20:34.:20:38.

over time whether it represents a shift on the ground. Anthony, that

:20:39.:20:41.

is an important lesson we have been lending, when Mr Trump announces

:20:42.:20:45.

something, whether it is those two versions of the travel ban, or the

:20:46.:20:51.

attempts to change the health care policy, the announcement isn't

:20:52.:20:53.

necessarily followed with an ability to get it over the various hurdles

:20:54.:20:58.

into action. We will be watching that action closely. It is Wednesday

:20:59.:21:03.

morning in Australia right now. Residents in the far north of the

:21:04.:21:08.

country are waking up to a trail of destruction in some cases. If we go

:21:09.:21:14.

in more closely on the map of Queensland, Cyclone Debbie came in

:21:15.:21:29.

on Airlie beach. 25,000 people were warned to evacuate. Those who stayed

:21:30.:21:34.

were warned to keep indoors. When you look at this, it is not hard to

:21:35.:21:38.

see why. The storm has been downgraded to a tropical low, but

:21:39.:21:44.

many people still in lockdown. Up until an hour ago, the authorities

:21:45.:21:48.

were also. But this is the latest statement from the authorities. I

:21:49.:21:53.

think what we need to brace for, this is a very destructive storm and

:21:54.:22:01.

storm system. I think the public and community of Queensland need to

:22:02.:22:03.

understand we will get lots of reports of damage and sadly, I think

:22:04.:22:06.

we will also receive more reports of injuries, if not death and we need

:22:07.:22:11.

to be prepared for that. We will keep you up-to-date. Next, sexual

:22:12.:22:16.

harassment in India and some surveys suggest over 80% of Indian women

:22:17.:22:20.

have experienced it in one form or another. It has a number of ideas to

:22:21.:22:35.

combat the problem. It is called anti-Romeos squads. These officers

:22:36.:22:44.

are on an unusual mission. Their task is to target Roadside Romeos.

:22:45.:22:50.

These aren't romantic figures, but men who harass women on the streets.

:22:51.:22:58.

The ruling BJP party won a landslide victory in state elections earlier

:22:59.:23:01.

this month making the streets safer for women was a key promise. But

:23:02.:23:11.

where are the Romeos? This seems random, they are stopping guys. Like

:23:12.:23:16.

this guy here, asking them what they are up to, checking their ID. There

:23:17.:23:21.

was no evidence he was harassing women at all. These two men were

:23:22.:23:31.

just sitting on their motorbikes. Their wives, who were in a nearby

:23:32.:23:39.

shop, were not happy. You can not go to everyone and say, what are you

:23:40.:23:43.

doing? Why are you sitting like this? Stand up. It is not correct.

:23:44.:23:51.

This is not the way. Elsewhere... The police have been even more

:23:52.:23:58.

enthusiastic. This is a team of undercover policewoman. The police

:23:59.:24:07.
