:00:07. > :00:09.Hello, I'm Nuala McGovern, this is Outside Source.

:00:10. > :00:16.Where ten people have been killed and 47 injured in an explosion

:00:17. > :00:24.The Russian President was in the city at the time.

:00:25. > :00:27.Law enforcement and special services are working and will do all they can

:00:28. > :00:29.to try and find the cause of what's happened.

:00:30. > :00:31.The Prime Minister has called it terrorist act.

:00:32. > :00:36.We'll also be live in Washington where President Sisi

:00:37. > :00:41.After a difficult few years, President Trump says he'll

:00:42. > :00:51.We are very much behind President el-Sisi.

:00:52. > :00:53.He's done a fantastic job in a very difficult situation.

:00:54. > :00:57.Theresa May laughs off talk of war, but the UK remains at loggerheads

:00:58. > :01:00.with Spain over the status of Gibraltar after Brexit.

:01:01. > :01:16.And don't forget you can get in touch using the #BBCOS.

:01:17. > :01:19.Ten people have been killed in an explosion on the underground

:01:20. > :01:27.The explosion happened between two stations

:01:28. > :01:28.Sennaya Plos-chad and Tekhnologichesky

:01:29. > :01:40.In the immediate aftermath, passengers tend to the dead

:01:41. > :01:46.and injured, who have been laid out on the station platform.

:01:47. > :01:48.While others mill around the scene, smoke from the blast,

:01:49. > :01:57.It is reported the explosion happened as the train was travelling

:01:58. > :02:06.And this is the damage it caused at 2:40pm local time this afternoon.

:02:07. > :02:10.A carriage, mangled by the force of the explosion.

:02:11. > :02:12.Those who had been inside and survived,

:02:13. > :02:21.TRANSLATION: There was a deafening explosion.

:02:22. > :02:24.I was standing by handrail and I think that saved me.

:02:25. > :02:26.Everyone fell, the carriage crumbled.

:02:27. > :02:32.TRANSLATION: There was a deafening explosion.

:02:33. > :02:35.I was standing by handrail and I think that saved me.

:02:36. > :02:36.Everyone fell, the carriage crumbled.

:02:37. > :02:38.It was very good that the train didn't stop.

:02:39. > :02:40.It flew along and I was thinking, dear Lord,

:02:41. > :02:45.This is the first incident of its kind on the Metro system

:02:46. > :02:46.of Russia's second city, St Petersburg.

:02:47. > :02:49.It happened as President Vladimir Putin was in the city,

:02:50. > :03:00.TRANSLATION: There was a deafening explosion.

:03:01. > :03:02.TRANSLATION: I want to express my sincere condolences to those close

:03:03. > :03:06.The law enforcement agencies and special services are working

:03:07. > :03:09.and doing everything to find out the causes of what has happened

:03:10. > :03:11.and completely evaluate what happened and the city

:03:12. > :03:13.authorities and the federal authorities are taking necessary

:03:14. > :03:16.measures to support the families of those of our citizens

:03:17. > :03:28.The emergency services ferried dozens of injured

:03:29. > :03:31.people to local hospitals, some in a serious condition.

:03:32. > :03:34.The entire Metro system was closed down with investigators then

:03:35. > :03:40.finding an explosive device at another station.

:03:41. > :03:43.What happened here in this city today has already been

:03:44. > :03:47.described by the government as an act of terrorism.

:03:48. > :03:50.And one theory is, it could be linked to Moscow's recent

:03:51. > :04:09.Which it is said was targeting terrorists who have been working

:04:10. > :04:20.alongside the so-called Islamic state and Al-Qaeda. But as people

:04:21. > :04:24.mourn those killed today, it is still unclear who is behind the

:04:25. > :04:26.attack. We wanted to find out

:04:27. > :04:28.about what the security services in St Petersburg would be

:04:29. > :04:43.looking to now. Frank Gardner is at the BBC. In

:04:44. > :04:47.2010, there was an horrific attack in Moscow that was blamed on

:04:48. > :04:53.jihadists in the North Caucasus. Even though the Russian authorities

:04:54. > :04:57.have been cautious about where they apportion blame, suspicion will fall

:04:58. > :05:01.on the North caucuses because there is a track record there. Is this

:05:02. > :05:08.domestic terrorism, the beef being from Chechen border Pakistani

:05:09. > :05:11.nationalist militants against Russia, or is this something

:05:12. > :05:17.inspired or possibly directed by so-called Islamic state in response

:05:18. > :05:20.to Russian air strikes in Syria? I was surprised how quickly they came

:05:21. > :05:28.out -- the Prime Minister came out calling it a terrorist attack. How

:05:29. > :05:32.difficult will it be for them to try and pinpoint what group may be

:05:33. > :05:38.behind it? It won't be too difficult because they have one device intact.

:05:39. > :05:44.Their word two devices. Even from the first romper went off, the

:05:45. > :05:47.explosive Ordinance people will be able to scrape the residue of

:05:48. > :05:52.explosive residue that didn't completely burned. They can do that

:05:53. > :05:57.from the carriage, from the book old remains of the carriage. Then they

:05:58. > :06:00.have the device that didn't go off and their forensic departments will

:06:01. > :06:06.be taking it apart to see what kind of explosives are in it, what are

:06:07. > :06:10.the digital fingerprints on this. They will be questioning a lot of

:06:11. > :06:15.suspects in the underworld as well, who have connections. So it

:06:16. > :06:20.shouldn't take them too long. Such a scary thing, but there was a debate

:06:21. > :06:24.about whether security was tough enough within St Petersburg and the

:06:25. > :06:28.Metro station? It was probably tougher in Moscow than St

:06:29. > :06:32.Petersburg. If a terrorist attack hasn't happened, you tend to think

:06:33. > :06:38.it will happen to somebody else. It is difficult to combine the free

:06:39. > :06:42.flow of passengers, commuters and ordinary people with tight security.

:06:43. > :06:45.If you want 100% security, you will have people coming through at a

:06:46. > :06:52.trickle and that is unworkable and terrorists know that. People say

:06:53. > :06:55.that metal detectors are there, and people walk through and they bleep

:06:56. > :06:56.and people just walk through. Egypt's President, Abdul Fattah

:06:57. > :06:59.al-Sisi, is at the White House Let me show you some

:07:00. > :07:09.of the pictures. This isn't the first

:07:10. > :07:11.time the two have met. Mr Sisi met Donald Trump

:07:12. > :07:14.during the election in September. They spoke briefly to the press

:07:15. > :07:24.just a few hours ago. We agreed on so many things, I just

:07:25. > :07:31.want to let anybody know in case there was any doubt, we are very

:07:32. > :07:33.much behind President Sisi, he has done a fantastic job in a difficult

:07:34. > :07:34.situation. Barbara Plett-Usher

:07:35. > :07:44.is in Washington for us. Such warm words flowing between

:07:45. > :07:49.President Sisi and Donald Trump. But did they get down to any of the

:07:50. > :07:53.difficult issues? I think they will have spent a lot of time on the

:07:54. > :07:59.issue on which they agree, which is a hard line in the fight against

:08:00. > :08:05.Islamist violence. This is something President Trump has talked about. He

:08:06. > :08:10.has said President Sisi is doing a fantastic job in fighting Islamist

:08:11. > :08:12.terrorism and President Sisi has spoken about Satanic ideology that

:08:13. > :08:19.motivates these militants. I think they are on the same page about

:08:20. > :08:24.that. We do know Mr Trump said there were things they didn't agree about,

:08:25. > :08:28.he didn't speak further about them. Officials were asked before the

:08:29. > :08:32.visit whether he would raise human rights issues, which were a big

:08:33. > :08:36.factor because President Sisi's regime has imprisoned thousands of

:08:37. > :08:44.lives are good prisoners, according to human rights groups. And Barack

:08:45. > :08:49.Obama Tim at arms length because of various human rights concerns. But

:08:50. > :08:55.it is clear Mr Trump will not do that. It will not be a factor in how

:08:56. > :09:01.the relationship is determined. I suppose the other big part is

:09:02. > :09:05.military aid. Mr Obama had frozen military aid for a certain length of

:09:06. > :09:14.time. Will we know exactly how this White House will aid Egypt in the

:09:15. > :09:23.future? We won't right away, because of budget cuts, it is a question.

:09:24. > :09:26.Israel gets to keep its part but everything else is open to

:09:27. > :09:31.negotiation. The White House has indicated Egypt will probably be

:09:32. > :09:37.able to keep its level of foreign aid, the second highest of military

:09:38. > :09:41.aid. I think President Sisi would like to get more aid than that and I

:09:42. > :09:46.don't think he will get it. Another issue that will come probably on

:09:47. > :09:50.which they might disagree is the Muslim Brotherhood. President Sisi

:09:51. > :09:56.has outlawed the group and wants the United States to designate them as a

:09:57. > :10:00.terrorist organisation. The Trump administration did seem willing to

:10:01. > :10:05.consider it, unlike the Obama administration. But the momentum has

:10:06. > :10:08.slowed Amat because the State Department has said there is no

:10:09. > :10:14.legal basis to declare the brotherhood as a terrorist

:10:15. > :10:17.organisations and they worried it might alienate moderate Muslims and

:10:18. > :10:23.push them towards extremism. Again, Donald Trump has come up against the

:10:24. > :10:27.complexities of his own positions and the positions his allies are

:10:28. > :10:32.asking him to take. That might come up, but we don't expect to see a

:10:33. > :10:36.shift combat during this visit. Thank you very much. We will not

:10:37. > :10:38.leave Washington just yet. We want to talk about this man...

:10:39. > :10:42.He's the President's son in law and as you probably know,

:10:43. > :10:44.he's been given a number of jobs by the President.

:10:45. > :10:47.They include working to find peace in the Middle East,

:10:48. > :10:49.leading an effort to modernize the US Government and

:10:50. > :10:51.sitting on a commission to battle Opioid addiction.

:10:52. > :10:54.Today it's been revealed he travelled to Iraq to meet with US

:10:55. > :11:12.Anthony, following what I have heard you call him, a one-man department

:11:13. > :11:17.of state, how is he expected to achieve any of these lofty goals?

:11:18. > :11:23.Good question. All he needs to do is cure cancer and solve a clean fuel

:11:24. > :11:28.and nuclear energy programme. It is going to be hard. He has a lot on

:11:29. > :11:35.his plate, a lot more than anyone in US politics has taken on in a White

:11:36. > :11:40.House administration type role. You have got to remember, he has no

:11:41. > :11:44.political experience, he was a real estate developer and publisher of

:11:45. > :11:49.New York lifestyle magazine, prior to this. His single greatest

:11:50. > :11:53.qualifying characteristic is that he is married to Ivanka Trump and has

:11:54. > :11:57.earned the trust of the president. This reveals Donald Trump's

:11:58. > :12:02.governing philosophy that the problems facing the nation are easy

:12:03. > :12:06.to solve. They just haven't been solved because politicians are too

:12:07. > :12:11.corrupt or too incompetent to sort them out. But it's smart people

:12:12. > :12:15.outside of government like Jared Kushner come in and they can handle

:12:16. > :12:19.it, a whole lot more than anyone in similar positions have in the past.

:12:20. > :12:21.We'll keep an eye on Jared Kushner and how he gets on with that

:12:22. > :12:22.portfolio. I want to talk about

:12:23. > :12:25.Neil Gorsuch as well. He's passed the latest hurdle

:12:26. > :12:30.on his path to becoming a US The Republican controlled

:12:31. > :12:33.Senate Judiciary Committee have approved him, which means the US

:12:34. > :12:36.Senate is set for a full vote on whether to appoint

:12:37. > :12:38.him later in the week. That's where there

:12:39. > :12:46.might be problems. Let's return back to Anthony can

:12:47. > :12:52.explain a little bit what some of those problems might be. It is a

:12:53. > :12:58.question of mathematics for the Republicans. They require 60 votes

:12:59. > :13:02.in order to secure the Supreme Court justice. They need a Democrats to

:13:03. > :13:06.come over and confirm him. There are eight Democrats who say they will do

:13:07. > :13:11.that, so what Republicans are doing is talk about a nuclear option which

:13:12. > :13:22.is to change the rules. This decades long ruled that requires a majority

:13:23. > :13:25.to secure the Supreme Court, G. They are filibustering, attempting to

:13:26. > :13:31.block this nomination because this seat has been open for more than a

:13:32. > :13:35.year and Barack Obama nominated someone, a respected judge, to take

:13:36. > :13:37.the position and lasted the Republicans wouldn't even hold

:13:38. > :13:42.hearings to consider him, hoping that Donald Trump would be elected

:13:43. > :13:48.president in November and pick his own. Donald Trump pick his own and

:13:49. > :13:52.now Democrats are trying to have some revenge. So many debates and

:13:53. > :13:59.discussions coming out of Washington.

:14:00. > :14:01.Stay with us - coming up in Outside Source Business we'll be

:14:02. > :14:04.talking about the latest successes of Elon Musk's Tesla.

:14:05. > :14:07.Seven people have been charged in connection with an attack

:14:08. > :14:10.on a teenage asylum-seeker in south London.

:14:11. > :14:13.Reker Ahmed, who's Kurdish-Iranian, was approached at a bus stop

:14:14. > :14:21.in Croydon, and then chased and attacked by as many

:14:22. > :14:25.as 30 people, according to the Met Police.

:14:26. > :14:32.I think this is powered by numbers. There has been an incident outside

:14:33. > :14:39.the pub and they have picked on three young men. There was no reason

:14:40. > :14:42.for this attack. I believe, because of the numbers involved, people have

:14:43. > :14:46.jumped on the back of it and it turned into a violent brawl where

:14:47. > :14:51.somebody has been viciously beaten and is very lucky not to have lost

:14:52. > :14:54.his life. There are innocent members of the public who felt powerless as

:14:55. > :14:59.to what to do. Because when you are faced with the group of 30 violent

:15:00. > :15:04.individuals it is hard to intervene. What they did was call the police.

:15:05. > :15:05.But if you have any footage of the incident, contact the local CID

:15:06. > :15:14.office. This is Outside Source live

:15:15. > :15:17.from the BBC newsroom. An explosion on a metro train

:15:18. > :15:21.in St Petersburg has killed ten The Russian Prime Minister has

:15:22. > :15:29.called it a terrorist act. The Serbian Prime Minister,

:15:30. > :15:34.Aleksandar Vu-cich, The Serbian Prime Minister,

:15:35. > :15:35.Aleksandar Vucich, has won a clear victory

:15:36. > :15:37.in the country's Mr Vucich said Serbs had voted

:15:38. > :15:42.to continue to work towards greater ties with the European Union

:15:43. > :15:45.while maintaining close relations BBC Somali reports that pirates have

:15:46. > :15:50.hijacked an Indian cargo ship off There were 11 people

:15:51. > :15:53.on board the vessel. Last month, Somali pirates

:15:54. > :15:55.hijacked an oil tanker, the first commandeering

:15:56. > :15:56.of a vessel since 2012, Here it is right on the southern tip

:15:57. > :16:21.of Spain near north coast of Africa. It's long been a source of

:16:22. > :16:25.contention between the UK and Spain. Now the UK leaving the EU has

:16:26. > :16:27.brought the issue up again, because the EU's draft Brexit

:16:28. > :16:30.strategy said no agreement on the UK's future relationship

:16:31. > :16:32.with the EU would apply to Gibraltar, without

:16:33. > :16:37.the consent of Spain. Yesterday a former British

:16:38. > :16:49.Conservative Party leader said this. Another woman Prime Minister sent a

:16:50. > :16:53.task force halfway across the world to protect another small group of

:16:54. > :16:58.British people against another Spanish speaking country. And I am

:16:59. > :17:02.absolutely clear that our current woman Prime Minister would show the

:17:03. > :17:05.same resolve in relation to Gibraltar as her predecessor did.

:17:06. > :17:06.He's referring to the Falkland Islands,

:17:07. > :17:09.in the 1980s Margaret Thatcher sent a taskforce to reclaim them

:17:10. > :17:14.Hundreds of soldiers on both sides were killed.

:17:15. > :17:18.Today the Spanish Foreign Minister responded to

:17:19. > :17:33.TRANSLATION: The Spanish government is surprised by the tone that has

:17:34. > :17:38.emerged in the United Kingdom. A country normally characterised by

:17:39. > :17:39.its composure. It is obvious in this case, the normal British composure

:17:40. > :17:43.has been notable for its absence. The current British

:17:44. > :18:12.government has ruled out We are focusing on talking with the

:18:13. > :18:15.rest of the EU, starting with the formal negotiations and making sure

:18:16. > :18:19.we see a result that will be in the interests of the UK and in the

:18:20. > :18:22.interests of Gibraltar, but actually I thing will be in the interests of

:18:23. > :18:32.the 27 member states of the European Union as well.

:18:33. > :18:38.Eleanor, it should be get used diplomatic spats like this? Many

:18:39. > :18:42.have warned the talks will be tough over the next couple of years and

:18:43. > :18:46.the wrangling Theresa May has had with some in her own political party

:18:47. > :18:51.but also with the Brexit issue making it all the way to the Supreme

:18:52. > :18:55.Court, many have said those issues might feel like small fry compared

:18:56. > :19:00.with trying to get agreement with politicians from the other 27 EU

:19:01. > :19:06.countries. The clock is ticking. There is just two years to unpick

:19:07. > :19:12.this more than 40 year relationship the UK has with the EU. All the

:19:13. > :19:16.regulation needs to be undone. It covers a vast area. A couple of

:19:17. > :19:19.issues that will be on the negotiating table early include the

:19:20. > :19:24.rights of UK citizens living across the rest of the EU and of course, EU

:19:25. > :19:31.citizens living here in the UK. And also, the so-called Brexit bill, how

:19:32. > :19:37.much will it cost the UK to leave the European Union? There will be

:19:38. > :19:41.plenty more chances for noises and some awkward subplots along the way.

:19:42. > :19:45.I had the Spanish papers didn't have much mention of this row with the

:19:46. > :19:51.UK, but it was different on this island? There has been plenty of

:19:52. > :19:54.reaction in Westminster and the Labour Party, the Shadow Foreign

:19:55. > :20:00.Secretary, Emily Thornbury complained the Prime Minister had

:20:01. > :20:04.not condemned what she called the absurd and dangerous comment made by

:20:05. > :20:10.Lord Howard. And also a former Foreign Secretary and another Labour

:20:11. > :20:15.politician called Jack Straw dismissed military action as absurd.

:20:16. > :20:20.He said it reeks of 90th century jingoism. And Tim Farron, he said it

:20:21. > :20:25.was a relief Theresa May seemed to be ruling out sending a gunboat to

:20:26. > :20:28.Gibraltar. But the Brexit secretary himself, David Davis is in Spain

:20:29. > :20:34.having meetings with the government there and he said Lord Howard was

:20:35. > :20:39.expressing the resolve of the UK in supporting the sovereignty of

:20:40. > :20:43.Gibraltar. He said he made it clear any talk of a Falklands style task

:20:44. > :20:48.force was not going to happen. Eleanor, thank you very much, I am

:20:49. > :20:53.sure we will speak again soon. Let's turn to some bad news for

:20:54. > :20:59.imagination technologies, a British company behind graphics chips in

:21:00. > :21:02.iPhones and iPods. The company says apple-macro will terminate its

:21:03. > :21:09.contract and that has sent shares crashing by 70%. Apple says it is

:21:10. > :21:14.developing its own technology and imagination once this will be very

:21:15. > :21:21.hard without infringing on its intellectual property rights. Let me

:21:22. > :21:25.bring in a technological industry analyst, Chris Green. Why is apple

:21:26. > :21:29.doing this? Trying to bring it back into the company, has been building

:21:30. > :21:34.up its skills and abilities to design its own chips for a while. It

:21:35. > :21:38.is not a surprise this news is coming out. It is just a shame it is

:21:39. > :21:43.hitting imagination, which is one of the most innovative companies and

:21:44. > :21:52.their success story coming out of Cambridge. The companies like

:21:53. > :21:57.imagination must be feeling nervous? Yes, it could have an impact on the

:21:58. > :22:02.number of companies, British companies who work in this space. I

:22:03. > :22:06.would necessarily panic at this stage because it is a specialist

:22:07. > :22:10.skill and not every company has the ability to design their own

:22:11. > :22:13.microchips even though they are making high-tech electronics. What

:22:14. > :22:19.would be your advice to companies coming up against an issue for

:22:20. > :22:25.example, their chip not be needed? Make sure you are not so heavily

:22:26. > :22:30.invested in one customer. It is important to have a diverse range of
