:00:10. > :00:23.The welcome by Outside Source. -- welcome back to Outside Source. In
:00:24. > :00:27.Syria, the war has entered its seventh year. The BBC has been
:00:28. > :00:34.focusing on their daily lives of people are still there. The quest to
:00:35. > :00:37.discover weather Russia interfered in the US election campaign
:00:38. > :00:44.continues. Some Democrats are already convinced. Russian
:00:45. > :00:55.propaganda on steroids. It was designed to poison the national
:00:56. > :00:58.conversation in America. I've anchored Trump is now going to use a
:00:59. > :01:05.White House office, she is assistant to the president. And in sport, we
:01:06. > :01:48.will hear an interview with the Nigerian women's bobsleigh team.
:01:49. > :01:54.It is now six years since civil war broke out in Syria and the war has
:01:55. > :01:56.caused untold loss of life. Millions and millions of people are being
:01:57. > :02:01.displaced both inside Syria and outside of it and it has led to the
:02:02. > :02:07.greatest refugee crisis since World War II. A truce between the
:02:08. > :02:10.Government and rebel groups is nominally in place but it is
:02:11. > :02:13.continually broken. After six years of conflict, the Government is now
:02:14. > :02:18.back in control of all the major cities in Syria and we will focus on
:02:19. > :02:22.a few of them. The BBC has been looking at 24 hours in the life of
:02:23. > :03:12.several people across the country. We will start in hospital.
:03:13. > :03:22.The the Syrian army and its allies drove all rebels from Aleppo's old
:03:23. > :03:24.city last year. That part of the city was almost completely
:03:25. > :03:27.evacuated. Sinners, some residents have returned and here is one of
:03:28. > :04:13.their stories. Just south of Aleppo is a place
:04:14. > :04:52.called... The attempts to go on as normal include football games.
:04:53. > :04:58.Finally, we will return to the old city of the capital, Damascus. It
:04:59. > :05:01.has escaped the worst of the fighting but nearby areas are in a
:05:02. > :05:07.rebel hands and the fighting is going on sporadically in the city's
:05:08. > :05:42.old town. We spoke to some younger people affected.
:05:43. > :05:47.As I said earlier, if you want background information on the Syria
:05:48. > :05:49.conflict how it started and developed some of the situation is
:05:50. > :06:03.now, you can find out online from BBC News. Let us turn to Outside
:06:04. > :06:10.Source sport. Ivanka Trump has said how do we allocate places in the
:06:11. > :06:24.next World Cup. They'll be 48 teens compared to the 32 we currently see.
:06:25. > :06:33.-- teens. Dragon is rubbish. That means two teens go through to make
:06:34. > :06:40.up that 48. They will go to a Play-Off system and over five
:06:41. > :06:45.confederations. Five out of the six will be in there. If it was Brazil
:06:46. > :06:55.in the last tournament, South America would then get two team is
:06:56. > :07:03.going through in those six teens. The way it works is the top two
:07:04. > :07:06.teens would miss the first round and the remaining ones would play each
:07:07. > :07:10.other and the losers would go out at the top two would play the winners
:07:11. > :07:14.of the last two games and then those two teens winning the last two would
:07:15. > :07:20.go through and it will surf as a test for the World Cup coming up in
:07:21. > :07:24.the following year. They may be the death knell of the Confederations
:07:25. > :07:32.Cup which is normally be laid before the World Cup.
:07:33. > :07:38.Let's talk about Greg Norman. He is a golfing legend and also good front
:07:39. > :07:43.the Donald Trump. And the president is keen on golf. He has played a
:07:44. > :07:46.number of times since becoming president and Greg Norman has been
:07:47. > :07:54.talking to us about the man in the White House. His flexibility for a
:07:55. > :07:59.70-year-old is pretty good. He hits the ball a fairly long way. I've
:08:00. > :08:18.played with him a few times. Are you surprised Rory McIlroy got
:08:19. > :08:30.the stick he got? Yes, but he got it wrongly. It's a great story and if I
:08:31. > :08:33.give you an analogy, I get a call from the White House and they say
:08:34. > :08:38.the president will be in Australia, he would love to play golf with you
:08:39. > :08:44.and I go, I'm not a democrat. I do want to play with him. So I called
:08:45. > :08:50.President Bush and said, Mr President, I've got to seek your
:08:51. > :08:55.advice, it's free, right? I just get a call from the White House and
:08:56. > :09:02.their request in the late golf with President Clinton in Australia, but
:09:03. > :09:08.I'm a Republican. He said, Greg, just let me tell you, respect the
:09:09. > :09:12.position of the president of the USA. Go and play golf with the
:09:13. > :09:18.president. And I said yes, sir. And this is why I can say with complete
:09:19. > :09:24.authority that I prejudged the president. I was an idiot because it
:09:25. > :09:28.turned out to be one of the great friendships I have had to this day.
:09:29. > :09:34.Because when I got to know him, he was just a wonderful guy. There were
:09:35. > :09:39.times when he would phoned me up when the whole Tiger Woods thing was
:09:40. > :09:40.going up and he would say I should go down and talk to him and help
:09:41. > :09:55.him. This goes back to respect the
:09:56. > :10:02.position of the president and that's all I ask of everybody out there
:10:03. > :10:06.globally. Greg Norman talking about George Bush, Bill Clinton and Donald
:10:07. > :10:10.Trump. It is reasonable to say bobsleighing is not a big African
:10:11. > :10:14.sport, so this next is impressive. The Nigerian women's team is about
:10:15. > :10:21.to qualify for the Winter Olympics in South Korea next year. This
:10:22. > :10:40.report tells us their story. It is cold. It is really, really cold. We
:10:41. > :10:45.are from a continent that would never imagine sliding down highs at
:10:46. > :10:47.18 miles an hour. The idea of getting people to take to that is in
:10:48. > :11:08.itself empowering. I'm a full time student and now I'm
:11:09. > :11:10.trying to start a federation in their blueprints, not only for a
:11:11. > :11:13.country, but a continent, because there has never been and other
:11:14. > :11:26.African country with a bobsleigh federation. We have all sacrificed
:11:27. > :11:27.our social life, it is nonexistent. But we don't care any more, we've
:11:28. > :11:44.got each other, that is good enough. The sport in itself is an extremely
:11:45. > :11:50.expensive one. To reach our final dull went need at least $150,000. To
:11:51. > :11:57.do this, we have the guts of our cable, no new clothes, moved to a
:11:58. > :12:02.place that is cheaper. For everything that gives the battle are
:12:03. > :12:11.trying combat it. I'm determined to qualify. No matter what comes along
:12:12. > :12:24.the way on this path I have to stay on it. Once I decide to go, just
:12:25. > :12:29.keep going. You wouldn't bet against them, would you? Good luck to them.
:12:30. > :12:33.We will soon be live in Washington to get the latest on the Senate
:12:34. > :12:35.investigation overseen by these two gentlemen. It is weather Russia
:12:36. > :12:48.interfered in the US election. Sugar limits for everyday foods such
:12:49. > :12:53.as biscuits and chocolate bars having published by public health
:12:54. > :12:57.officials in a bid to make British children more healthy. The aim is to
:12:58. > :12:58.cut the sugar eaten in such foods by 20% in the next three years as our
:12:59. > :13:08.help correspondence reports. But eating too much sugar
:13:09. > :13:11.is rotting children's teeth A third of children
:13:12. > :13:14.are overweight or obese Now as part of government plans
:13:15. > :13:17.to tackle the problem, the food industry is being given
:13:18. > :13:20.new limits for how much sugar should Companies are being urged
:13:21. > :13:23.to reformulate their products so that they contain less sugar,
:13:24. > :13:26.or to make them smaller. The aim is for the UK's annual diet
:13:27. > :13:29.to contain 200,000 fewer We expect people to see over time
:13:30. > :13:35.smaller chocolate bars, smaller cakes, smaller biscuits,
:13:36. > :13:39.particularly when they eat away from home, in family
:13:40. > :13:42.restaurants and so on. We also expect people not
:13:43. > :13:46.to notice the changes, because we know if changes
:13:47. > :13:49.are gradually made to our food, Your bread is now 40% less salty
:13:50. > :13:54.than it was ten years ago. And there will also be
:13:55. > :14:06.the new tax on sugary drinks, Dieticians say there's no
:14:07. > :14:09.time to lose in trying Around one in five
:14:10. > :14:12.10-11-year-olds are obese. We know from research that excess
:14:13. > :14:14.sugar is linked to weight gain and when you are obese you are more
:14:15. > :14:17.at risk of conditions like type two diabetes,
:14:18. > :14:20.which can lead to heart disease The food industry isn't being forced
:14:21. > :14:27.to make these changes, but trade bodies say they'll take
:14:28. > :14:30.on the challenge and experts in nutrition think this
:14:31. > :14:32.is the quickest way because the legal process of writing
:14:33. > :14:48.mandatory guidelines is so awkward, so long, people resist it and try
:14:49. > :14:51.and protect their own interests, that doing it on a voluntary basis
:14:52. > :14:54.is actually quicker to write the regulations and quicker to amend
:14:55. > :14:57.them if they don't work. The nine food groups announced today
:14:58. > :14:59.account for less than half of children's total sugar intake,
:15:00. > :15:02.so there's still work to be done on sugar that's less obvious,
:15:03. > :15:05.in foods like pasta sauces. Health campaigners have praised
:15:06. > :15:07.the plans, but they want the government to keep up
:15:08. > :15:26.the pressure on food companies. We live in the BBC newsroom rumour
:15:27. > :15:29.with Outside Source. South Korea has ousted president who has been
:15:30. > :15:40.arrested on corruption charges. She was removed from office. Let us have
:15:41. > :15:50.a quick look what is coming up. If you're outside the UK, it is a world
:15:51. > :16:03.News America next. Here in the UK, the news at ten is next.
:16:04. > :16:07.Now, the Senate intelligence committee has held its first open
:16:08. > :16:12.hearing into the allegations that Russia interfered with the US
:16:13. > :16:15.election. Remember, there is a separate house of representatives
:16:16. > :16:20.investigation and it has become embroiled in a controversy because
:16:21. > :16:27.this man who oversees it is accused of inappropriately assisting the
:16:28. > :16:30.White House. He denies that and is overseen one investigation and these
:16:31. > :16:34.two are overseen the Senate Inquirer. One is a Republican, one a
:16:35. > :16:45.democrat, let us listen to the Republican. We are all targets of a
:16:46. > :16:49.sophisticated and capable at and we must engage in a whole of Government
:16:50. > :16:53.approach to combat Russian active measures. The language you've heard
:16:54. > :17:03.today has been strong, explicit as you'll see in this clip. Russia's
:17:04. > :17:04.president, Vladimir Putin, ordered a deliberate campaign carefully
:17:05. > :17:12.constructed to undermine our election. First Russia struck at our
:17:13. > :17:16.political institutions by electronically breaking into the
:17:17. > :17:20.headquarters of one of political parties and stealing vast amounts of
:17:21. > :17:27.information. Russian operatives also hacked e-mails to steal personal
:17:28. > :17:33.messages and other information from individuals ranging from Clinton
:17:34. > :17:40.campaign manager to former Secretary of State, Colin Powell. This stolen
:17:41. > :17:45.information was then at weaponised. It is so frequent we hear these
:17:46. > :17:47.allegations being made in Washington, it is important to keep
:17:48. > :17:53.reiterating that the Russians deny having anything to do with any of
:17:54. > :17:57.this. There is Vladimir Putin earlier.
:17:58. > :18:03.TRANSLATION: Did the Russian Government attempt to influence the
:18:04. > :18:06.outcome of the US election? At one time, I think about taxes and
:18:07. > :18:15.addressing the Americans, Reagan said Read my lips. We all live to
:18:16. > :18:19.Washington now. Somebody is not telling the truth. As the Senate
:18:20. > :18:24.inquiry going to go about finding out what happened? And they spoke
:18:25. > :18:29.with a number of academic experts today to try and gather more
:18:30. > :18:34.information. They are reviewing thousands of documents provided by
:18:35. > :18:37.the intelligence services that have evidence of support the conclusion
:18:38. > :18:42.reached earlier this year that Russia was to influence the US
:18:43. > :18:46.election. There will also be talking to former officials in the above an
:18:47. > :18:50.illustration, the intelligence community, about their views and
:18:51. > :18:56.allegations they have made about Russian involvement, as well as
:18:57. > :19:01.members of Donald Trump's administration. I want to point out
:19:02. > :19:12.that Vladimir Putin's wrong, that was not Ronald Reagan, but George W
:19:13. > :19:24.Bush. A reporter quoted a senior Democrat on the lower house and
:19:25. > :19:28.their investigation and said this... I've heard of money-laundering, but
:19:29. > :19:34.never information laundering. What precisely is the allegation here?
:19:35. > :19:38.There was an article in the New York Times today that said the
:19:39. > :19:45.information was gotten about incidental surveillance from members
:19:46. > :19:49.of the Trump administration itself two members of the national security
:19:50. > :19:54.council who apparently gave documents which were taken to the
:19:55. > :19:59.capital, and I went back to the White House and inform Donald Trump.
:20:00. > :20:06.The idea of this laundering is that the White House itself gave it and
:20:07. > :20:10.was presented as something that was discovered and taken back to the
:20:11. > :20:13.White House. This was all an attempt to advance the White House
:20:14. > :20:18.administration line backing of Donald Trump's assertion that he was
:20:19. > :20:23.watched by the Obama illustration. That's one story I want to ask you
:20:24. > :20:26.about. First of all, an extraordinary attack by the
:20:27. > :20:29.president on certain Republicans. There is Donald Trump saying the
:20:30. > :20:33.Freedom caucus will hurt the entirely Republican agenda if they
:20:34. > :20:38.do not get on the team and fast. We must fight them at the Democrats in
:20:39. > :20:45.2018. This must be related to the that did not go through last week.
:20:46. > :20:49.-- is their health care. It was probably the most organised
:20:50. > :20:52.opponents of the health care bill within a house of representatives
:20:53. > :20:57.when they were debating it. They were a group of around 30 hard-core
:20:58. > :21:00.libertarian leading conservative true believers in their objections
:21:01. > :21:03.were that the repeal did not go far enough. Donald Trump and his
:21:04. > :21:07.administration try to put the pressure on the freedom caucus to
:21:08. > :21:11.bring them around and say this was the way Obamacare was going to be
:21:12. > :21:15.repealed and they dug in their heels and it appears now that Trump is
:21:16. > :21:18.following through on threats to challenge freedom caucus members,
:21:19. > :21:22.call them out and possibly undermined every election in 2018
:21:23. > :21:27.the same way his administration would oppose Democrats. It's
:21:28. > :21:32.astounding and an escalation of the rhetoric within the Republican
:21:33. > :21:36.party. On are less talk about the President's daughter, Ivanka Trump.
:21:37. > :21:39.She is now the Assistance of the President. We've already seen her in
:21:40. > :21:44.a number of high-profile meetings, this picture was used an awful when
:21:45. > :21:48.Angela Merkel visited. She was also involved with meetings with the
:21:49. > :21:52.Japanese leader before President Trump was inaugurated. On one level,
:21:53. > :21:57.we saw it coming, but lots of people are saying this is nepotism. Is it
:21:58. > :22:02.out of the ordinary or regular for a president to do this? It is
:22:03. > :22:07.certainly out of the ordinary for a president to elevate one of his
:22:08. > :22:12.offspring to a formal role within the West Wing of the White House.
:22:13. > :22:15.Ivanka Trump had been given prime office space already within the
:22:16. > :22:20.White House, so this is in effect putting her in a position where she
:22:21. > :22:25.has to be applied to the ethics rules that govern White House
:22:26. > :22:29.employees. We've seen presidential spouses are prominent, informal
:22:30. > :22:32.roles. Hillary Clinton, Joe in the Bill Clinton administration was
:22:33. > :22:38.probably the most prominent of that, maybe going back to Woodrow Wilson
:22:39. > :22:42.and his wife in the 1920s. But this is remarkable as far as presidential
:22:43. > :22:50.children go. There's no modern presidents for it. Ivanka Trump is
:22:51. > :22:55.taking on this role and melodia Trump is being very, very low-key.
:22:56. > :23:01.We've talked a bit a number of times. The judge in Hawaii who
:23:02. > :23:04.temporarily blocked President Trump us revised travel ban has now issued
:23:05. > :23:16.a longer lasting order. Erie is explaining why. -- here he is
:23:17. > :23:23.explaining why. You have this flashing light behind you saying...
:23:24. > :23:28.If the jump administration wants to get this through it will have to
:23:29. > :23:41.fight. All the indications that it has the energy? They have said they
:23:42. > :23:46.will appeal the decision. The idea they may do it again is probably too
:23:47. > :23:52.much. They will see this fight to the Supreme Court. They feel they
:23:53. > :24:01.have legal grounds that the first immigration order. You saw from this
:24:02. > :24:07.Hawaiian judge that the original order and campaign statements about
:24:08. > :24:09.a so-called Muslim ban as evidence of the unconstitutionality and
:24:10. > :24:20.religious discrimination that was intrinsic in this new order. The
:24:21. > :24:29.order will be suspended until the court fight. Thank you. Our lead
:24:30. > :24:33.story on Outside Source today has come from South Korea where the
:24:34. > :24:38.former president has been arrested on charges relating to that
:24:39. > :24:41.corruption scandal we have covered many, many times. If you want more
