:00:18. > :00:26.This is Outside Source. These are some of the main stories. First of

:00:27. > :00:34.all, the British Parliament has voted to hold a general election on

:00:35. > :00:47.June the 8th. The ayes have it, the ayes have it. Theresa May is making

:00:48. > :00:49.the election about Dexit. Jeremy Corbyn is asking if she can be

:00:50. > :00:51.trusted on anything. Donald Trump has ordered a review

:00:52. > :00:53.of the Iran nuclear deal. Even though Iran is meeting

:00:54. > :00:55.all its commitments. We'll be live in Washington

:00:56. > :00:57.with our State Department. Plus, a week ago Donald Trump

:00:58. > :01:00.boasted of sending an armada We've now found out it

:01:01. > :01:11.never made it that far. And we will hear why demonstrators

:01:12. > :01:13.in Venezuela are putting more pressure on President Nicolas

:01:14. > :01:22.Majuro, with a march they are calling the mother of all protests.

:01:23. > :01:23.And you can get in touch, the information is on the screen

:01:24. > :01:36.throughout the programme. Let's pick up on a story I just

:01:37. > :01:43.mentioned. Donald Trump has ordered a review of the Iran nuclear deal.

:01:44. > :01:47.We already know what hit thinks of it. In one to eat he called it

:01:48. > :01:51.terrible and he has described it as that and many other terms multiple

:01:52. > :01:55.times. The US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson has just been speaking in

:01:56. > :02:04.the last few minutes, we have had wire copy coming in from Reuters,

:02:05. > :02:12.telling us he has said this. America opposes all threats posed by Iran,

:02:13. > :02:16.and it is clear there are many. Barbara, you were listening to Rex

:02:17. > :02:19.Tillerson. What did you make of it? It was interesting, he's speaking

:02:20. > :02:25.off the back of a statement he put out yesterday in which he certified

:02:26. > :02:33.that' Iran is keeping its commitment to the nuclear deal. He said yes, in

:02:34. > :02:37.that case the Iran deal is working. What we heard was a litany of

:02:38. > :02:43.complaints about Iran, that it posed a threat in the region, that it was

:02:44. > :02:48.backing militias there and that it has continued testing missile

:02:49. > :02:53.technology, violated UN Security Council resolutions, that it was a

:02:54. > :02:56.state sponsor of terrorism, and so on and so forth. Then he said there

:02:57. > :03:01.would be a review of the nuclear deal, which he said only delayed

:03:02. > :03:06.Iran becoming a nuclear power, did not end the possibility of it. And

:03:07. > :03:09.he said you could not look at the issue of the nuclear deal without

:03:10. > :03:13.looking at all of the other things as well, which is something the

:03:14. > :03:17.Obama administration did, focusing narrowly on this one issue, which is

:03:18. > :03:22.how they were able to get the agreement. Rex Tillerson saying this

:03:23. > :03:26.will not be the approach of the Trump administration. They will look

:03:27. > :03:28.at all these other things they find troublesome through this review and

:03:29. > :03:33.come up with a response based on that. But he didn't suggest in which

:03:34. > :03:39.direction the Trump administration would go, on specifics. Let's pick

:03:40. > :03:43.up on that a bit. I'm listening to all of this and thinking, what is

:03:44. > :03:46.the plan here? The Trump administration will know this deal

:03:47. > :03:51.is a multi natural deal, it is going to be in credibly hard to unpick,

:03:52. > :03:55.some say impossible. The Americans could pull out of the deal but that

:03:56. > :03:58.would destroy it because there are five other world powers who signed

:03:59. > :04:04.on to it. What they could do instead is just implement it very strictly

:04:05. > :04:08.to the letter, not giving the Iranians any leeway at all, and some

:04:09. > :04:10.of the approach is being discussed are perhaps looking at the

:04:11. > :04:14.interpretations of the deal that would allow them to put as much

:04:15. > :04:18.pressure as possible on the Revolutionary guards in particular,

:04:19. > :04:22.then alongside that, suggestions in Congress for legislation that would

:04:23. > :04:25.impose new sanctions on Iran, not because of its nuclear programme,

:04:26. > :04:29.separate from that, but because of all these other things that Rex

:04:30. > :04:33.Tillerson just spoke about, support for terrorism, missile tests and so

:04:34. > :04:36.on, which would also increase pressure on Iran and perhaps

:04:37. > :04:41.ultimately have the same result in the end of scuppering the deal,

:04:42. > :04:44.especially if Iran decides that the Americans are not in compliance with

:04:45. > :04:50.the deal. Please stay with us, there is another story I want to talk to

:04:51. > :04:56.you about. This was Donald Trump a week ago. We are sending an armada,

:04:57. > :05:01.very powerful. We have submarines, very powerful. Far more powerful

:05:02. > :05:03.than the aircraft carrier, that I can tell you.

:05:04. > :05:06.The "armada" he mentions is a reference to a US strike group

:05:07. > :05:08.led by the US aircraft carrier Carl Vinson.

:05:09. > :05:13.Here's a press release from the US Navy three days earlier.

:05:14. > :05:17.It announces that the strike group has been ordered to MAP sail

:05:18. > :05:20.It announces that the strike group has been ordered to sail

:05:21. > :05:22.north from Singapore towards the Korean peninsula.

:05:23. > :05:24.After that release, but before the President spoke,

:05:25. > :05:27.US Secretary of Defense Jim Mattis was asked about that order

:05:28. > :05:35.He replied, "She's just on her way up there because that's

:05:36. > :05:38.where we thought it was most prudent to have her at this time."

:05:39. > :05:44.When Secretary Mattis says "at this time" it was widely taken

:05:45. > :05:46.as reference to increasing tension with North Korea.

:05:47. > :05:48.But that strike group didn't sail north.

:05:49. > :05:50.A week after the order was made, the warships

:05:51. > :06:03.In fact, they were sailing through the Sunda Straight.

:06:04. > :06:12.We know this the US Navy released this

:06:13. > :06:14.photo of the Carl Vinson in the Sunda Straight on Saturday.

:06:15. > :06:16.It says the warships did training exercises

:06:17. > :06:23.But Barbara, bringing you back in here, that isn't what the president

:06:24. > :06:26.said. No it isn't, and there has been great confusion. When it was

:06:27. > :06:32.announced the strike carrier had been ordered to move north, they

:06:33. > :06:37.didn't announce that it would in gauge in these exercises with the

:06:38. > :06:40.Australians, but the president jumped onto the conclusion that this

:06:41. > :06:44.was going to happen imminently and that it was in response to tensions

:06:45. > :06:48.in the Korean peninsular that were mounting ahead of the weekend, it

:06:49. > :06:52.was thought that the North Koreans might have a possible nuclear test.

:06:53. > :06:57.By the end of the week, that was the White House line, that the strike

:06:58. > :07:00.group was being deployed as a show of force and signal of deterrence

:07:01. > :07:05.and so on and so forth, and then it became clear that it wasn't even

:07:06. > :07:08.within thousands of miles of the Korean waters and would only have

:07:09. > :07:14.been able to get there next week anyway. There has been a remarkable

:07:15. > :07:17.disconnect. It's unclear why the Pentagon and the Navy did not step

:07:18. > :07:24.in to clarify earlier what the actual course and timing of the

:07:25. > :07:26.strike trajectory was. Let's just pull up a couple of tweets on this

:07:27. > :07:39.story. The global Times is a Chinese

:07:40. > :07:46.newspaper, state run, saying it deals a blow to Trump's presidency.

:07:47. > :07:53."If it is a lie, we will not trust Trump". Barbara, what is your

:07:54. > :08:00.assessment of the consequences of this issue? Officially in Japan and

:08:01. > :08:04.South Korea, and even from the Foreign Ministry in China, there has

:08:05. > :08:07.not been a response. You've got the quotes you mentioned there and there

:08:08. > :08:12.have been jokes about it on social media in China, there has also been

:08:13. > :08:18.some muscle flexing in North Korea, saying this is a rustbucket facing

:08:19. > :08:22.our revolutionary power etc. So it doesn't make Americans look good. It

:08:23. > :08:26.could undermine their tougher approach, especially if that tougher

:08:27. > :08:33.approach and rhetoric is supposed to be backed up by a credible threat of

:08:34. > :08:35.military force. I think also alongside that it has been

:08:36. > :08:40.unsettling for US allies because they would want to know why is the

:08:41. > :08:45.president weighing one thing and his military forces doing and saying

:08:46. > :08:53.another? So that is also a big question mark as well, I think.

:08:54. > :08:58.Thank you very much, Barbara, speak to you soon on outside source. While

:08:59. > :09:01.that story was escalating, American Vice President Mike Pence has been

:09:02. > :09:03.touring a different aircraft carrier that has docked at a Japanese naval

:09:04. > :09:09.base. The sight of the US vice president

:09:10. > :09:13.on board a nuclear-powered aircraft even more so when it's

:09:14. > :09:19.sitting in Japan. Was this an elaborate piece

:09:20. > :09:21.of theatre, or a sign America is really preparing for action

:09:22. > :09:30.against North Korea? We will defeat any attack and meet

:09:31. > :09:33.any use of conventional or nuclear weapons with an overwhelming

:09:34. > :09:36.and effective American response. The United States of America

:09:37. > :09:49.will always seek peace, but under President Trump,

:09:50. > :09:51.the shield stands guard If President Trump is planning

:09:52. > :09:54.some sort of military action against North Korea,

:09:55. > :09:57.there is no sign of it here. This is the USS Ronald Reagan,

:09:58. > :10:00.the flagship of the Seventh Fleet, but it won't be ready to leave this

:10:01. > :10:12.port in Japan for at Figuring out what the jump

:10:13. > :10:15.administration is planning for North Korea is not easy, perhaps

:10:16. > :10:19.deliberately so. -- the Trump administration.

:10:20. > :10:23.Rupert Wingfield Hayes, BBC News, at the Yokosuka naval base in Japan.

:10:24. > :10:27.Let's bring you some of the main sports stories of the day. We begin

:10:28. > :10:28.in America. The Former NFL player

:10:29. > :10:30.Aaron Hernandez has He was 27 and was serving a life

:10:31. > :10:35.sentence for murder. Marc Edwards is at

:10:36. > :10:43.the BBC Sport Centre. What more can you tell us about this

:10:44. > :10:48.man's death and also the crime he had been convicted for? Sad news

:10:49. > :10:52.from Massachusetts where he was found just after 3am local time.

:10:53. > :10:57.Prison guards tried to revive him but he was pronounced dead about an

:10:58. > :11:01.hour later in hospital. The 27-year-old former New England

:11:02. > :11:04.Patriots tight ends. He entered the NFL in 2010 and in his second

:11:05. > :11:10.appearance became the youngest player in five decades to surpass

:11:11. > :11:16.100 receiving yards in a game. He subsequently signed a five-year, $40

:11:17. > :11:21.million contract with the Patriots in 2012. In 2015 he was convicted of

:11:22. > :11:30.killing a man who was dating his fiancee's sister. In 38 career games

:11:31. > :11:32.he had a total of 1956 yards, a total that would have been much

:11:33. > :11:37.higher if not for a series of injuries. As we said, he was serving

:11:38. > :11:42.a life sentence in jail in Massachusetts but just days ago he

:11:43. > :11:45.was found not filthy of a separate double murder.

:11:46. > :11:52.-- not guilty of a separate double murder. In terms of what happens to

:11:53. > :11:57.his conviction now, I heard some reports that that might be revisited

:11:58. > :12:02.now he has lost his life? I just misheard that. That's absolutely

:12:03. > :12:08.fine, I was just going to argue about where we go with the legal

:12:09. > :12:11.proceedings, he was not convicted of other crimes, but presumably the

:12:12. > :12:18.investigation now sees that he has lost his life. That is perhaps... He

:12:19. > :12:27.was in jail for a separate crime as well. As we said, his fiancee's

:12:28. > :12:33.sister, a person who was dating his fiancee's sister, who of course in

:12:34. > :12:39.that time, he was also a former friend of his, who had committed the

:12:40. > :12:44.crime. I assume we will hear more in the coming time. Thank you very much

:12:45. > :12:47.indeed for your update on that story.

:12:48. > :12:52.Aaron Hernandez played for the New England Patriots.

:12:53. > :12:54.And today his former team has been visiting the White House.

:12:55. > :13:05.Here they are at an official function, attended by Donald Trump

:13:06. > :13:09.of course. Six Patriot players weren't there, they are boycotting

:13:10. > :13:12.the occasion, saying they don't feel welcome while Donald Trump is

:13:13. > :13:16.president. They include the tight end Martellus Bennett and also the

:13:17. > :13:31.defensive back Devin McCourty. He said this.

:13:32. > :13:41.Those who did go a long look like they were having a good time. John

:13:42. > :13:45.Spicer was doing his daily press briefing and one of the players

:13:46. > :13:51.showed up. What pans out in the negotiation. Can I just? I think I

:13:52. > :13:57.got this, but thank you! Need some help? Thanks, man, see you in a

:13:58. > :14:03.minute! Thanks, man, see you in a minute! All man, see you in a

:14:04. > :14:04.minute! Thanks, man, see you in a minute! Thanks, man, see you in a

:14:05. > :14:08.minute! All right, that was cool! The squad for the British

:14:09. > :14:13.and Irish Lions has been announced. They have the hardest

:14:14. > :14:15.of rugby assignments. First - they must fashion

:14:16. > :14:17.a team very quickly out of players who normally play

:14:18. > :14:19.for their respective countries. And second - they must try and beat

:14:20. > :14:28.the All Blacks in New Zealand. Here is what their coach Warren

:14:29. > :14:31.Gatland said earlier. I don't think we should get on the plane unless we

:14:32. > :14:39.think we have a chance of beating the all Blacks. One of the

:14:40. > :14:42.challenges is that you try to play against the All Blacks and they are

:14:43. > :14:45.human and capable of making mistakes, they have frailties and

:14:46. > :14:49.you but them under pressure. The pleasing thing is that a lot of

:14:50. > :14:52.those players can believe it now because they saw some of those

:14:53. > :14:56.frailties when Ireland beat the All Blacks in Chicago. On the BBC Sport

:14:57. > :14:59.website you can get the full squad and plenty of analysis from my

:15:00. > :15:02.colleagues too. One last bit of sports news -

:15:03. > :15:05.Serena Williams appeared to announce She posted this picture

:15:06. > :15:14.of herself on Snapchat, posing in a mirror with the message: "20

:15:15. > :15:17.weeks", before deleting the post. There's been no official

:15:18. > :15:24.confirmation from her team but if true, it means she won her

:15:25. > :15:27.record-breaking 23rd Grand Slam singles title at the Australian Open

:15:28. > :15:33.in January when she was pregnant. But we will have to wait to hear

:15:34. > :15:35.from her to find out if that is definitely the case.

:15:36. > :15:38.We've been following the Jakarta local elections for some

:15:39. > :15:45.The elections have played into local and racial tensions. We will get a

:15:46. > :15:49.report on that from our correspondent.

:15:50. > :15:51.Prince Harry opened the London Marathon Expo today,

:15:52. > :15:57.his first public appearance since he spoke out about coming

:15:58. > :15:59.to terms with his mother's death, earlier this week.

:16:00. > :16:02.Harry and his little helper Melissa, getting the London Marathon

:16:03. > :16:06.It's a race which, this year, has a special focus

:16:07. > :16:12.on a princely passion - mental health.

:16:13. > :16:14.Prince Harry has attracted widespread praise this week

:16:15. > :16:17.for his honesty when he spoke of the anguish and the anxiety

:16:18. > :16:26.he suffered for years after his mother's death.

:16:27. > :16:29.It was only right to share my experiences and to help,

:16:30. > :16:32.to hope to encourage others to come forward, and sort of reduce

:16:33. > :16:36.To make it easier for them to talk about their own experiences.

:16:37. > :16:43.No, I mean, look - when you've heard so many stories

:16:44. > :16:46.from so many other people, and if you can relate to that,

:16:47. > :16:53.then it's only right that you talk about your own experiences.

:16:54. > :16:56.But all the experts you've met will have told you one

:16:57. > :16:59.of the key issues is funding, and that there isn't enough

:17:00. > :17:04.That's not for, as you probably know, that's not our mission.

:17:05. > :17:07.Our mission is to remove the stigma of mental health

:17:08. > :17:10.a platform for people to be able to discuss it.

:17:11. > :17:13.But the risk is you could be encouraging people to seek

:17:14. > :17:16.No, and that's something that we've been completely aware

:17:17. > :17:19.of over the last year, but the fact and the reality

:17:20. > :17:21.is that, as I said, the appetite is there.

:17:22. > :17:23.Once the appetite is there, things will change.

:17:24. > :17:27.It's not my position and it's not our position

:17:28. > :17:32.So we will do everything that we can to encourage the conversation,

:17:33. > :17:35.remove the stigma, so that everything else then can take place.

:17:36. > :17:37.Opening up about the past is a brotherly trait.

:17:38. > :17:39.In a BBC documentary, Prince William has provided

:17:40. > :17:47.an insight into the trauma of his bereavement.

:17:48. > :17:52.The shock is the biggest thing, and I still feel, you know,

:17:53. > :17:55.20 years later, about my mother, I still have shock within me.

:17:56. > :18:03.People go, "shock can't last that long", but it does.

:18:04. > :18:06.It's such an unbelievably big moment in your life.

:18:07. > :18:19.An upbeat Harry believes their campaign is at a tipping point.

:18:20. > :18:22.The UK, he hopes, will lead the way in the world,

:18:23. > :18:30.by removing the taboo surrounding mental health.

:18:31. > :18:38.Our lead story is that Britain's parliament has

:18:39. > :18:41.backed Prime Minister Theresa May's call for an early general election.

:18:42. > :18:54.Every day on outside source we bring together the main global stories of

:18:55. > :18:56.the day and we turn text in -- turn next to Venezuela.

:18:57. > :18:58.There have been massive anti-government demonstrations today

:18:59. > :19:10.People are angry over the state of the economy

:19:11. > :19:12.and hugely critical about the nature of President Maduro's leadership.

:19:13. > :19:16.On Monday, 11 Latin American countries called on him to prevent

:19:17. > :19:25.any violence against protesters - and to set a date for new elections.

:19:26. > :19:31.The opposition are calling these marches

:19:32. > :19:41.We also spotted this from the Reuters Venezuela feed, that the

:19:42. > :19:46.opposition is beginning marches, but also that one protester has died

:19:47. > :19:52.after a gunshot to the head, that is after security sources, and we don't

:19:53. > :19:55.know who shot that person. We should mention there is a rival

:19:56. > :19:57.demonstration as well, in support of the president, but it was nowhere

:19:58. > :20:02.near as big as the protest is against him.

:20:03. > :20:04.Vanessa Herrero is a journalist in Caracas.

:20:05. > :20:16.We talked to her earlier. This is actually a big protest. It was

:20:17. > :20:20.different from last week's, which saw the movement of a lot of people,

:20:21. > :20:28.but nothing like this. It's the first time this year that both the

:20:29. > :20:33.opposition and forces of the government meet each other on the

:20:34. > :20:36.streets. But can these protesters do anything to force the president to

:20:37. > :20:43.stand down or at least to holding your election? Before, we've seen

:20:44. > :20:52.really big protest in Venezuela. Everyone thought that the government

:20:53. > :20:57.was going to be more passive in measures against the opposition. But

:20:58. > :21:05.unfortunately, that didn't happen. It is actually getting worse. This

:21:06. > :21:15.year a lot of journalists have been arrested and there were at least 500

:21:16. > :21:17.protests this week. If the protesters are struggling to

:21:18. > :21:20.pressure President Maduro, we have now got this group of Latin American

:21:21. > :21:26.leaders calling on him to call an election. Do you think they can

:21:27. > :21:31.pressure him in a way that the protesters can't? That is a

:21:32. > :21:36.different issue, yes, that may be more effective. We have seen that

:21:37. > :21:49.with the government of the United States. Even though the government

:21:50. > :22:02.released a statement saying rejecting what the 11 said, I think

:22:05. > :22:15.show that they are strong. Let's turn now to Indonesia, because

:22:16. > :22:20.elections have just been held to choose Jakarta's new governor.

:22:21. > :22:22.Exit polls suggest this man - Anies Baswedan - has won.

:22:23. > :22:26.Whatever the result, it's been a campaign that's raised

:22:27. > :22:27.significant religious and racial tensions.

:22:28. > :22:29.Rebecca Henschke has more in this report.

:22:30. > :22:42.In conceding defeat, the governor widely known... Called for unity.

:22:43. > :22:47.TRANSLATION: We are all the same. We want to Jakarta to be good, we want

:22:48. > :22:56.it to move forward, because this is where we all live. Celebrations have

:22:57. > :23:00.already begun here at the supporters's home of Anies Baswedan.

:23:01. > :23:04.Anies Baswedan, a former education minister, has been criticised for

:23:05. > :23:10.running a very divisive and dirty campaign, capitalising on the

:23:11. > :23:13.blasphemy accusation against the governor and highlighting religious

:23:14. > :23:18.differences, the fact that the governor is a Christian and not a

:23:19. > :23:22.Muslim. But it has been a very successful campaign and these people

:23:23. > :23:29.say that he is a leader that they want, to bring Jakarta back together

:23:30. > :23:34.after this divisive election. TRANSLATION: He is a smart leader

:23:35. > :23:38.with a low profile, and he is close to the people. Anies Baswedan's

:23:39. > :23:45.campaign heavily capitalised on the blasphemy case against the governor,

:23:46. > :23:51.to harness the Muslim vote. Today, right after the election, the

:23:52. > :23:58.governor is back in court. He faces jail time if convicted of blasphemy.

:23:59. > :24:12.Very unlikely he is to be acquitted, very likely he is to be found

:24:13. > :24:17.guilty. It means it can be easily politicised dissent your enemies,

:24:18. > :24:20.anyone you don't like, to prison. The Jakarta election was widely seen

:24:21. > :24:24.as a proxy for the next presidential poll in two years' time, with

:24:25. > :24:35.supporters of Anies Baswedan crying out that their party win back the

:24:36. > :24:41.presidency from Joko Widodo. I should quickly mention
