:00:14. > :00:16.Hello, I'm Ros Atkins, this is Outside Source.
:00:17. > :00:19.A new era is beginning in France and the country's president
:00:20. > :00:21.elect Emmanuel Macron has addressed the nation.
:00:22. > :00:28.Vive la republique. Vive la France!
:00:29. > :00:30.I'm Christian Fraser in Paris where the president-elect is getting
:00:31. > :00:33.on with the task of forming a new government.
:00:34. > :00:35.We'll be live in Paris with Christian Fraser.
:00:36. > :00:37.We'll hear from two members of the Obama administration
:00:38. > :00:41.on the alleged ties between Russia and the Trump campaign.
:00:42. > :00:44.I had two in-person meetings and one phone call with the
:00:45. > :01:07.And we've all the Premier League, it better news if you are a Chelsea
:01:08. > :01:25.fan, than Middlesbrough. And also, the grudge match at the Madrid Open.
:01:26. > :01:35.Whatever your politics, it is impossible not to look at the rise
:01:36. > :01:45.of Macron, as remarkable, former investment banker, and you may
:01:46. > :01:46.remember, he resigned last year, from the Cabinet of Francois
:01:47. > :02:01.Hollande, to form his own party. The choice of a country, desperate
:02:02. > :02:08.for change. Part of the establishment but never before
:02:09. > :02:16.elected. One of the fresh faces, but who is Emmanuel Macron? To
:02:17. > :02:23.supporters, the political messiah, from outside the establishment who
:02:24. > :02:32.has worked to power. Here is a new man to politics. Hoping to get new
:02:33. > :02:40.solutions. A new face. But he went to one of the most prestigious
:02:41. > :02:45.schools, met powerful people, and made millions from investment banks.
:02:46. > :02:49.One of his former colleagues has said that it is partly down to
:02:50. > :02:57.charm, butt out his heart he is secretive. He tells people what they
:02:58. > :03:08.really want to hear. He can be seducive. And he has managed to
:03:09. > :03:17.agree with nearly anyone. That is a talent. His wife has told one
:03:18. > :03:25.journalist that they never let people close. Unusual love affair,
:03:26. > :03:30.it is a sign said one of his old friends, of determination, self
:03:31. > :03:41.belief. I think the only person who really knows them, deeply, his wife.
:03:42. > :03:49.You have got to imagine, he seduced her, convinced her to marry him.
:03:50. > :03:56.Convincing his family. It is a small thing. Not France has not altered
:03:57. > :04:03.for the political extremes, far rate rejected in favour of the liberal
:04:04. > :04:14.news,. Macron has said that he is going to unite the disillusioned
:04:15. > :04:18.France, but critics have said it is just old wine in a new bottle.
:04:19. > :04:22.Failure could be high. Some have said he has been all things to all
:04:23. > :04:28.people, but he cannot govern that with. He has got five years to solve
:04:29. > :04:36.problems, or risk things with or without radical change next thing.
:04:37. > :04:42.And we can go through the practicalities of Macron becoming
:04:43. > :04:50.the president of France. Christian, still with us. When does he become
:04:51. > :04:58.president? Sunday. And then he has got to make the decision on the
:04:59. > :05:01.Prime Minister. And six weeks after that, the Parliamentary elections,
:05:02. > :05:10.then we are going to know what chance he has of helping the people.
:05:11. > :05:17.And do we have any idea of who is going to be in that cabinet? Some
:05:18. > :05:22.from the right, left, and civil society. I think 50%, will also be
:05:23. > :05:29.women. He wants them to play a bigger role in politics. And the
:05:30. > :05:38.candidates, from up and down the country, a lot of people who have
:05:39. > :05:42.never been in politics, that is interesting, being all things to all
:05:43. > :05:50.people, you think that his cabinet could be a reflection of the
:05:51. > :05:56.political spectrum? I think it is good to try to reflect the renewal
:05:57. > :06:01.but he has been talking about. A lot of women. And also, people who have
:06:02. > :06:06.got experience. He is going to need that. People from the right, left.
:06:07. > :06:19.Appeared to split from the political parties. I am thinking about anybody
:06:20. > :06:28.who fraternise with, could be kicked out of the party. All of them, it is
:06:29. > :06:32.particularly true of the Socialist parties, because they are in ruins
:06:33. > :06:39.with the socialist candidate just taking a paltry 6% two weeks ago. In
:06:40. > :06:47.terms of what the president can do, when President Donald Trump arrived,
:06:48. > :06:52.he said he wanted to do this, do that, can Macron do anything until
:06:53. > :06:58.those elections? I think that he could try to force through some of
:06:59. > :07:02.these labour reforms, but it is going to be a bit of a gamble,
:07:03. > :07:06.because obviously people are going to come out onto the streets and
:07:07. > :07:12.protest. And when he tried this, years ago, he was trying to
:07:13. > :07:17.liberalise sections of the economy and people came out in big numbers.
:07:18. > :07:30.That is part of the reason why the spot from the Socialists. And
:07:31. > :07:33.perhaps, the fact that Francois Hollande, so popular, we have always
:07:34. > :07:41.got this noisy opposition but it is a large majority of people who want
:07:42. > :07:45.change, and want reform. In that sense, he could be pushing the
:07:46. > :07:52.unopened door, getting past the protest that you always see on the
:07:53. > :07:55.streets. And the woman that he has defeated, Le Pen took the National
:07:56. > :08:02.front for the love and a lot of people thought was possible. Do you
:08:03. > :08:10.think that she remains committed? I think you're going to have a lot of
:08:11. > :08:16.discussion, and they are going to shore I united front, but what
:08:17. > :08:21.happens to this party? Le Pen has detoxified the brand, probably taken
:08:22. > :08:26.things as far as she can. You have got a good majority of people who
:08:27. > :08:33.cannot elect a party that had fascist beginnings, they do not want
:08:34. > :08:42.anything to do with that. Can she, as a politician at a different
:08:43. > :08:47.party, be Marine? The mother, defender of the workers? That is a
:08:48. > :08:55.different question. I have watched her for many years. She walks the
:08:56. > :09:02.walk, when it comes to security. But when it comes to the economy, the
:09:03. > :09:08.televised debates, she is not that impressive. She was looking through
:09:09. > :09:12.the ring binder, not as on top of things as Macron. Going to have to
:09:13. > :09:25.have more answers on the issues that France has been facing. Thank you.
:09:26. > :09:36.The investigations, into the alleged relationship between the Donald
:09:37. > :09:42.Trump campaign and Russia, Sally Yates was fired, and that is the
:09:43. > :09:51.head of International intelligence, under the Obama administration.
:09:52. > :09:57.Sally Yates has been telling that she warned about international
:09:58. > :10:00.advisers. You have got the sensitive position, the national-security
:10:01. > :10:04.adviser and you do not want that person to be in a position when the
:10:05. > :10:11.Russians have leverage. But also, another motivating factor is that we
:10:12. > :10:15.thought the vice president was entitled to know that the
:10:16. > :10:24.information he had been given, and was really into the public, was not
:10:25. > :10:30.true. What you have said, that the general lied to the vice president?
:10:31. > :10:34.That is certainly how it appeared. Because he made statements about the
:10:35. > :10:41.conduct, based on what the general had told him. And we knew that was
:10:42. > :10:45.not true. That is one of the main pieces of evidence. And this is
:10:46. > :10:48.somewhat from the former director of national intelligence for the
:10:49. > :10:58.president Obama administration. No doubt for him, that the Russians,
:10:59. > :11:02.meddling. It concluded first that President Putin directed the
:11:03. > :11:08.campaign, to erode the feast of the American people, and the process.
:11:09. > :11:17.Secondly, did so to demean Secretary Clinton, and advantage Donald Trump.
:11:18. > :11:19.These conclusions, based on the richness of the data, approved by
:11:20. > :11:26.the directors of the agencies, and myself. Anthony has been watching
:11:27. > :11:39.all of this. It is so complex, what does all of this add up to? First
:11:40. > :11:45.account by Sally Yates, what she told the Donald Trump officials, in
:11:46. > :11:52.January, and getting more details. Multiple meetings, talking about the
:11:53. > :11:58.potential for blackmail, that Flynn was not being truthful with
:11:59. > :12:07.operators. And asking about why she was concerned about White House
:12:08. > :12:12.officials, the possible criminality. She could not explain the criminal
:12:13. > :12:17.violations, and the substance of what the investigation has found.
:12:18. > :12:21.She said that was classified. But it was interesting, and we need to
:12:22. > :12:27.remember that after she talked to the White House it was another 18
:12:28. > :12:32.days before Flynn was fired. People are going to be pointing that out.
:12:33. > :12:38.The president has said on Twitter, suggestions that Sally Yates should
:12:39. > :12:46.be asked under oath, if she knows her classified information got into
:12:47. > :12:51.the newspapers. We do not need too much help to understand that. She
:12:52. > :12:54.was asked, and said it was a good question but she could not answer
:12:55. > :13:02.that because it would have revealed classified sources, and she did not
:13:03. > :13:05.know of anyone who had been revealing that information. She said
:13:06. > :13:11.that she had never read any information, that she had never
:13:12. > :13:16.talked of the record with reporters, about this particular investigation.
:13:17. > :13:22.That is one piece of investigation. But it was the committee hearings,
:13:23. > :13:29.the Democrats asking about the Russian meddling, and Flynn. And
:13:30. > :13:35.then the Republicans asking exactly that. The unmasking of government
:13:36. > :13:42.officials, surveillance, people close to Donald Trump. And we know
:13:43. > :13:48.what put the information of Flynn being leaked out. The Washington
:13:49. > :13:51.Post in January. It is fascinating, the scene that we saw, from those
:13:52. > :14:04.committee hearings on Russian meddling. Thank you. You can keep us
:14:05. > :14:09.posted. As you can see, we're going to talk about the Premier League.
:14:10. > :14:14.Coming to the end of the season. Chelsea against Middlesbrough. And
:14:15. > :14:17.unless something strange has happened, Sunderland going to get
:14:18. > :14:22.some company, in terms of who has been relegated. Going to get some
:14:23. > :14:31.company from another north-east team. Middlesbrough, about to go
:14:32. > :14:39.down. 3-0. Two minutes remaining. Diego Costa, 24th of the season,
:14:40. > :14:44.then Matic. And this, that would mean that Chelsea have only got to
:14:45. > :14:51.defeat West Bromich Albion, on Friday, to guarantee the title.
:14:52. > :14:54.Seven ahead with them winning this. Middlesbrough going down. The title
:14:55. > :15:04.could be going to West London, on Friday evening. Thank you. And
:15:05. > :15:11.tennis, just a few weeks ago, do you remember this, Eugenie Bouchard said
:15:12. > :15:23.about Maria Sharapova, that after returning to tennis, she is...
:15:24. > :15:32.Strong words. The two of them, have been playing at the Madrid Open. How
:15:33. > :15:43.has that been going? At the moment, Michael in the boxseat. Just broken.
:15:44. > :15:48.Maria Sharapova, 5-2 up, in the opening set, lost 7-5. 6-2 in the
:15:49. > :15:55.second. 4-3 to Eugenie Bouchard third set. This could mean that
:15:56. > :16:02.Eugenie Bouchard goes through. The winner of this, going to play the
:16:03. > :16:08.number Kerber. Two, but if Maria Sharapova could win this, it would
:16:09. > :16:10.mean that she has enough points for qualification, automatically to go
:16:11. > :16:15.into the Wimbledon qualifying. That is going to be in about one month.
:16:16. > :16:24.And we're going to be watching the handshake. We can talk about
:16:25. > :16:36.Muntari, one of the top footballers, and he has been caught in the
:16:37. > :16:38.controversy after being sent off in Italy's top league. Sent off because
:16:39. > :16:43.he walked off the pitch, saying he had been racially abused. Initially,
:16:44. > :16:51.he was suspended, but that has been overturned after lots of discussion.
:16:52. > :17:00.Excuse my language, I said you have not got any balls. You should have
:17:01. > :17:12.stopped the game. I told him that if he stopped the game, he is the
:17:13. > :17:23.referee, but his voice was on top of mine. I knew how I am. And how angry
:17:24. > :17:29.I can get, I was really calm that day. Walked off. If it happens
:17:30. > :17:37.today, I am going to do the same thing. You can see that for the BBC
:17:38. > :17:46.Sport app. And we can go to a lighter story. One of these, Messi.
:17:47. > :17:54.The other, an Iranian student. Incredibly similar. So much so... He
:17:55. > :18:01.had to be taken into a police station, because he always gets such
:18:02. > :18:09.commotion. So much disruption, police stepped in! In a few moments,
:18:10. > :18:14.we're going to talk about a story that has been getting a lot of
:18:15. > :18:19.attention in Britain. Facebook has been taking out adverts, to combat
:18:20. > :18:22.what it has described as fake news, we will get into that and while it
:18:23. > :18:51.has issued tips. It's the kind of sight you'd
:18:52. > :18:54.expect to see in summer but in some parts of the UK,
:18:55. > :18:56.rivers are running dry This Met Office map of rainfall
:18:57. > :19:01.in April shows that most of the UK experienced less than half
:19:02. > :19:03.the average amount - the darkest areas are those that
:19:04. > :19:06.have received less than a third. Danny Savage reports
:19:07. > :19:07.from the Yorkshire Dales. Across large parts of
:19:08. > :19:09.Britain at the moment, A dry spring, preceded
:19:10. > :19:13.by low winter rainfall, This wouldn't be an unusual
:19:14. > :19:16.widespread ight in late summer When I had a walk and ride
:19:17. > :19:20.round up there on Friday, you get a lot of small ponds and wet
:19:21. > :19:24.holes that are usually They're all dry now,
:19:25. > :19:26.absolutely bone dry. There's nothing at all
:19:27. > :19:29.in the bottom of them. Stuart Herd has farmed
:19:30. > :19:30.here all his life. The riverbed drying up isn't unheard
:19:31. > :19:33.of but he's noticed the hillside You can tell that it has been a lot
:19:34. > :19:41.drier because we are actually noticing sheep that actually come
:19:42. > :19:44.down to the parts of the river that You are noticing sheep
:19:45. > :19:48.standing on the river bank, drinking, whereas ordinarily,
:19:49. > :19:50.they would be spread about up on the fells and drinking out
:19:51. > :19:53.of little springs and streams and things like that,
:19:54. > :19:55.which suggests that there isn't as much water up there as what there
:19:56. > :19:58.has been in other times. These pictures were taken around
:19:59. > :20:09.England over the last few days, showing rivers many miles apart
:20:10. > :20:12.in a similar condition. But Yorkshire Water says there
:20:13. > :20:14.should not be widespread alarm. I think nationally,
:20:15. > :20:16.it's been very dry. Up in Yorkshire, I think it
:20:17. > :20:18.has been a dry winter, probably the driest in the last six
:20:19. > :20:21.years but we have seen recharge. Sort of, every other month,
:20:22. > :20:24.we have seen some rainfall but in the last six weeks,
:20:25. > :20:26.we have just seen dry. A few dry months does not
:20:27. > :20:29.make a drought, though. It may be bone dry in some
:20:30. > :20:32.of the headwaters of these river catchments but we are a long way
:20:33. > :20:35.from a water crisis. A few miles down the valley,
:20:36. > :20:38.the wharf looks a lot more healthy and reservoir levels
:20:39. > :20:39.are holding up, too. A prolonged dry spell may
:20:40. > :20:42.change things but it Hello, I'm Ros Atkins,
:20:43. > :21:18.this is Outside Source. A new era is beginning in France
:21:19. > :21:20.and the country's president elect Emmanuel Macron has
:21:21. > :21:26.addressed the nation. The opening task, to form a new
:21:27. > :21:33.government, beginning work after being sworn in on Sunday. If you are
:21:34. > :21:39.in the United Kingdom, you may have seen this advert, in one of the
:21:40. > :21:45.newspapers. Facebook to coat adverts, in a number of newspapers,
:21:46. > :21:51.about how to spot fake news. And it is at the centre of this issue,
:21:52. > :21:56.after a lot of completely untrue news, and information on Facebook
:21:57. > :22:05.during the presidential campaign. It is about tips, being sceptical of
:22:06. > :22:11.the crimes, investigating the source, and before you think, that
:22:12. > :22:17.could be a joke, but people have been getting fooled by websites, and
:22:18. > :22:22.we discussed this earlier. The reaction to the decision to put this
:22:23. > :22:27.advice owed. I think it is an interesting move, and the choice of
:22:28. > :22:37.newspaper that Facebook has gone for, the Guardian, the Telegraph,
:22:38. > :22:41.traditional and old school media. Perhaps not how you would think that
:22:42. > :22:45.Facebook demographic hangs out. But it is the people that Facebook
:22:46. > :22:53.obviously wants to show are taking was a tough action. Why not just put
:22:54. > :22:59.this on Facebook? It was three days, and the same tips. It was the scene
:23:00. > :23:05.for the French election. And doing this again. If you have seen these
:23:06. > :23:12.tips before, it is exactly the same, just different media. I have seen
:23:13. > :23:16.some people mocking this, dismissing it, but if we were really sadly, I
:23:17. > :23:23.suppose it would not have become a problem. You have got to remember,
:23:24. > :23:27.Facebook has been fighting that this is coming up on personal newsfeeds,
:23:28. > :23:36.from friends and relatives. Already, your guard is down. We all know
:23:37. > :23:41.about the power of world of mouth. Facebook has also admitted to the
:23:42. > :23:45.BBC, it is making some money out of this. It insists that this is
:23:46. > :23:53.negligible, but it is money nonetheless. Now that we know that,
:23:54. > :23:58.even more pressure on this company to sort things out. What Facebook
:23:59. > :24:03.does not want to do, be labelled as a publisher. It does not want the
:24:04. > :24:08.responsibility of billions of people posting these things, all the time.
:24:09. > :24:17.But increasingly, railroaded in that direction. Also, the broader
:24:18. > :24:28.dialogue with politicians, exactly how Facebook is seen? Facebook has
:24:29. > :24:32.just acknowledged a report, acknowledging that it has political
:24:33. > :24:35.propaganda and it has to take positive action against that. It is
:24:36. > :24:39.the first thing that we have acknowledged that. It has also been
:24:40. > :24:46.blocking tens of thousands, set-top to broadcast this misinformation. It
:24:47. > :24:51.is much more visibly proactive than it has been in the past. It is
:24:52. > :24:57.desperate for people to think it has been taking this seriously. And we
:24:58. > :25:01.can confirm, that Middlesbrough have lost two juicy, going down from the
:25:02. > :25:08.Premier League. We will see you tomorrow.
