:00:12. > :00:19.Hello, I'm Ros Atkins with Outside Source. The US national Security

:00:20. > :00:22.adviser has defended Donald Trump's handling of classified material.

:00:23. > :00:25.What the president discussed with the Foreign Minister was wholly

:00:26. > :00:28.appropriate to that conversation and is consistent with the routine

:00:29. > :00:33.sharing of information between the president and any leaders with whom

:00:34. > :00:36.he is engaged. Just hours after President Trump had tweeted that it

:00:37. > :00:39.was his right to share this information with Russia, he may

:00:40. > :00:46.think so, but the story has detonated across Washington. Mr

:00:47. > :00:56.Trump has been hosting President Erdogan of Turkey. The opposition

:00:57. > :01:00.Labour Party has released its manifesto, promising one of the

:01:01. > :01:06.biggest shake-up of the economy in decades. We talk you through how

:01:07. > :01:09.Labour plans to do that. Some of Russia's biggest social networks and

:01:10. > :01:14.search engines have been banned. We have got BBC Russia to explain why

:01:15. > :01:16.that has been done. We look at how credible those reports are that

:01:17. > :01:32.North Korea could have been behind the global cyber attack.

:01:33. > :01:40.Just under 24 hours ago, this story went up onto the Washington Post

:01:41. > :01:48.website. Within seconds, it was being shared thousands and thousands

:01:49. > :01:51.of times. Its claim was that Donald Trump had showed classified

:01:52. > :01:54.information to the Russian Foreign Minister and the Russian ambassador

:01:55. > :01:57.to the US. This meeting you can see here happened the day after the

:01:58. > :02:02.president had sacked the director of the FBI. He sacked him in part

:02:03. > :02:06.because of his frustrations over the investigation into the alleged

:02:07. > :02:10.collusion between Mr Trump's campaign and Russia. Well the White

:02:11. > :02:13.House reacted quickly to the Washington Post story. Several

:02:14. > :02:17.members of his administration quickly denied the claim and then

:02:18. > :02:21.when Donald Trump woke up this morning, he hit Twitter hard saying,

:02:22. > :02:27."As president I wanted to share with Russia, which I had the absolute

:02:28. > :02:32.right to do, facts pertaining to terrorism and airline flight safety,

:02:33. > :02:36.humanitarian reasons, plus I want to Russia to greatly step up their

:02:37. > :02:41.fight against the Islamic State group and terrorism." Now one of

:02:42. > :02:45.those who found himself not entirely in sync with what the president said

:02:46. > :02:48.on Twitter was the National Security Adviser general McMaster. He gave a

:02:49. > :02:53.press briefing earlier. This is some of it. What we don't do is discuss

:02:54. > :02:58.what is and what isn't classified. What I will tell you in the context

:02:59. > :03:02.of that discussion, what the president discussed with the Foreign

:03:03. > :03:06.Minister was wholly appropriate to that conversation and is consistent

:03:07. > :03:09.with the routine sharing of information between the president

:03:10. > :03:13.and any leaders with whom he's engaged.

:03:14. > :03:18.REPORTER:... The US received from an intelligence partner? I'm not going

:03:19. > :03:21.to be the one to confirm that sort of information that could jeopardise

:03:22. > :03:26.our security. REPORTER:... US allies who have this

:03:27. > :03:29.type of sharing relationship with the US will stop that type of

:03:30. > :03:33.information? No, I'm not concerned. That conversation was wholly

:03:34. > :03:37.appropriate to the conversation. I think wheaty appropriate with the

:03:38. > :03:40.expectations of our intelligence partners. Across the 24 hours we've

:03:41. > :03:43.had a number of different accounts of what happened from the Trump

:03:44. > :03:47.administration. They haven't all been exactly the same. I've been

:03:48. > :03:51.speaking to Katty Kay in Washington about how all these accounts hang

:03:52. > :03:56.together. The White House seems to be saying this is no big deal, that

:03:57. > :03:59.the information that was passed on to the Russians, as you heard it

:04:00. > :04:03.there, was wholly appropriate to be passed on and it's a storm in a tea

:04:04. > :04:07.cup. Critics of the administration and those include Democrats and

:04:08. > :04:11.Republicans, top Republicans, are saying hold on, this is very

:04:12. > :04:14.concerning and members of the intelligence community are saying

:04:15. > :04:16.the problem here is that you have violated the trust of an American

:04:17. > :04:21.ally who passed you this information. So I think it's a

:04:22. > :04:26.little disingenuous of HR McMaster to down play this quite so much,

:04:27. > :04:29.when there are serious concerns now about America's relationship with

:04:30. > :04:32.its intelligence partners and the impact that this sharing of

:04:33. > :04:36.information could have on that. I guess, this isn't just about what

:04:37. > :04:39.happened in that meeting. It's the fact that someone, presumably

:04:40. > :04:46.someone senior, decided to share what happened in that meeting. Well,

:04:47. > :04:49.the question that the Republicans are raising, the White House is

:04:50. > :04:52.raising, you heard it there from General McMaster, the real issue

:04:53. > :04:56.here, they say, is the leaking of this information. We don't exactly

:04:57. > :05:00.now how this happens. It seems that the small group of people in the

:05:01. > :05:04.meeting, there was a transcript of that meeting. Somehow that got onto

:05:05. > :05:08.electronic form. That was then disseminated to other people in

:05:09. > :05:12.intelligence community and in the administration. And somewhere along

:05:13. > :05:16.the line it was sent out to the Washington Post which is how they

:05:17. > :05:20.got their story. Two key issues, one is we still don't know the fact of

:05:21. > :05:25.exactly what it was that President Trump shared with the Russians and

:05:26. > :05:31.how sensitive that sharing could be. And what does this do now to

:05:32. > :05:34.America's allies, who are expressing some concern, some of them, about

:05:35. > :05:36.sharing information with the White House in future, in case it ends up

:05:37. > :05:42.like this, in the hands of the Russians. We'll hear from Katty Kay

:05:43. > :05:46.in a moment again. There has been a huge amount of reaction to what's

:05:47. > :05:49.happened. This is a Republican senator saying, "Obviously they're

:05:50. > :05:53.in a downward spiral right now and they've got to figure out a way to

:05:54. > :05:57.come to grips with all that's happening." Indeed there can be

:05:58. > :06:01.times when you look at the Trump administration and it's a bit like a

:06:02. > :06:05.pin ball machine which has gone into multiball mode. Katty Kay has been

:06:06. > :06:11.talking about how chaotic things have been getting. My producer here

:06:12. > :06:14.has reminded me that this time a week ago Jim Comey was still the

:06:15. > :06:18.head of the FBI, none ever this had happened and life seemed relatively

:06:19. > :06:21.normal, normal by the standards of Washington. All of that has changed,

:06:22. > :06:26.just in the space of one short week. We seem to have been in constant

:06:27. > :06:31.crisis mode for the last seven days. Much of it generated by the

:06:32. > :06:35.president himself. That's what Bob Corker, the head of the Foreign

:06:36. > :06:38.Relations Committee in the Senate, a senior Republican senator is

:06:39. > :06:43.referring to, there is this - and another, the head of the Republicans

:06:44. > :06:47.in the Senate himself, Mitch McColonel has said, we need less

:06:48. > :06:51.drama coming out of this White House. There has been a week of

:06:52. > :06:56.almost constant drama that is self-made and I think now, you know,

:06:57. > :07:02.that is hurting the president with his own party. This is different

:07:03. > :07:05.from last week. After the firing of James Comey I didn't hear senior

:07:06. > :07:09.Republicans come out en masse and criticise the president. What struck

:07:10. > :07:14.me last night here in Washington was how fast top Republicans came out

:07:15. > :07:19.and said, hold on, this is not OK. Now, in a normal situation, there is

:07:20. > :07:24.no doubt that a meeting between Turkey's president and the American

:07:25. > :07:28.president would be our lead story. Not so, because of that Trump

:07:29. > :07:31.intelligence story that we've been focussing on. But this is very

:07:32. > :07:36.important. The Turkish president has been in Washington and both men maed

:07:37. > :07:40.a joint statement earlier. -- made a joint statement earlier. I look

:07:41. > :07:44.forward to working together on achieving peace and security in the

:07:45. > :07:48.Middle East, on confronting the shared threats and on working

:07:49. > :07:57.towards a future of dignity and safety for all of our people.

:07:58. > :08:00.TRANSLATION: Keeping our outstanding relations is now very important for

:08:01. > :08:05.common interests but also stability of the globe and peace around the

:08:06. > :08:08.world. A few takes on this meeting I wanted to share with you. This is

:08:09. > :08:12.the Washington institute saying both of these men need each other and

:08:13. > :08:17.they both know it. What's definitely not in doubt is that while they need

:08:18. > :08:22.each other, the relationship between the two countries is tense. One of

:08:23. > :08:26.their differences is over this man. He lives in the US and Turkey blames

:08:27. > :08:29.him for last year's failed coup. They want him extradited though

:08:30. > :08:36.there's no prospect of that happening. He denies that coup

:08:37. > :08:41.allegation, but certainly he's no fan of of the Turkish president. If

:08:42. > :08:47.you read this article in the Washington Post he says, "The Turkey

:08:48. > :08:51.he once knew as a hope inspiring country its way to a democracy has

:08:52. > :08:56.become a dominion of a president who is doing everything he can to amass

:08:57. > :09:07.power." That's a renchs to the election a few weeks ago which

:09:08. > :09:14.president Erdogan won. Donald Trump had approved arming

:09:15. > :09:19.Kurdish fighters in the region last week. "Erdogan is the odds on

:09:20. > :09:25.favourite to make Trump squirm. That is a reference to that decision to

:09:26. > :09:27.arm the kirds and the fact that he was certain to bring it up, as he

:09:28. > :09:29.did. TRANSLATION: There is no future for

:09:30. > :09:35.terrorist organisations in our future. Taking the YPG and PYD into

:09:36. > :09:39.consideration in the region will never be accepted and it is against

:09:40. > :09:45.the demrobl agreement that we have reached. And we should never allow

:09:46. > :09:49.those groups to manipulate the religious and ethnic structure of

:09:50. > :09:53.the region using terrorism as a pretext on excuse.

:09:54. > :10:01.It's often on stories relating to Turkey we turn to BBC Turkish. Both

:10:02. > :10:06.leaders kept their own positions in some key issues. President Erdogan

:10:07. > :10:14.took this conference as an opportunity to give his views on key

:10:15. > :10:17.issues to global and US audience. Do you think president Erdogan

:10:18. > :10:22.understands that the Americans are not going to stop arming the Kurds.

:10:23. > :10:28.It's a very complicated issue for Turkey especially, because the US

:10:29. > :10:34.has the Kurds as its major ally in Syria, fighting against so-called

:10:35. > :10:38.Islamic State. Turkey believes that specific group within the Syrian

:10:39. > :10:44.democratic forces which fights against IS is an off-shoot of PKK.

:10:45. > :10:50.It's very affiliated with the PKK, who is conducted a guerrilla war in

:10:51. > :10:54.Turkey in the last three decades. For Turkey, this Kurdish group in

:10:55. > :10:58.Syria is a terrorist organisation as well. I think the main difference

:10:59. > :11:04.between these two lierds, these two countries, in general, is that they

:11:05. > :11:09.see the counter-terrorism in Syria differently, for Turkey, it involves

:11:10. > :11:13.the Kurdish groups. But for the US and West in general, they see Kurds

:11:14. > :11:18.are their allies in Syria against the Islamic State. What do you think

:11:19. > :11:22.President Erdogan's priority is on this trip? What does he hope to take

:11:23. > :11:26.home and say to Kurds, I've been to America and I've come back with

:11:27. > :11:31.this? I think the main thing is that he needs some guarantees from the US

:11:32. > :11:35.side that the Kurds will not have some sort of an autonomous region in

:11:36. > :11:46.northern Syria. That's one issue. Second issue, as you mentioned, the

:11:47. > :11:52.extradition of Gulan. If he he is extradited from the US, it will be a

:11:53. > :11:57.huge victory for Erdogan himself. Particularly since the coup in July,

:11:58. > :12:01.this is one of the key issues he uses in domestic policy.

:12:02. > :12:06.If you speak Turkish, you can get full coverage of that story at BBC

:12:07. > :12:10.Turkish.com. In a few minutes we turn to a big story here in the UK.

:12:11. > :12:15.You may have seen the leaked version of the Labour Party's manifesto.

:12:16. > :12:19.Well, it's been officially laurgeed by Jeremy Corbyn today. We'll be

:12:20. > :12:24.live in Westminster to talk about that in a few minutes' time. Can you

:12:25. > :12:28.get coverage of it through the BBC News website. As well as extensive

:12:29. > :12:36.coverage of the election campaign more generally.

:12:37. > :12:42.Now, this is Outside Source. We're live in the BBC Newsroom. Let me

:12:43. > :12:45.talk you through our main stories. Donald Trump has been defending his

:12:46. > :12:47.decision to share some intelligence with the Russian Foreign Minister.

:12:48. > :12:52.We'll turn back to that later on in the hour.

:12:53. > :12:55.In Outside Source sport we'll find out why Maria Sharapova will not be

:12:56. > :12:57.playing in the French Open. I'll be back with you in a couple of

:12:58. > :14:17.moments. This is Outside Source. We're live

:14:18. > :14:21.in the BBC Newsroom. Our lead story is that Donald Trump has defended

:14:22. > :14:24.how he behaved in a meeting with Sergey Lavrov the Russian Foreign

:14:25. > :14:26.Minister and defended any intelligence he may have shared with

:14:27. > :14:31.him. Let's turn to the main stories from

:14:32. > :14:35.BBC World Service. First of all, a deal's been agreed in Ivory Coast to

:14:36. > :14:38.end the revolt by the army. The government's agrowed that soldiers

:14:39. > :14:42.will receive more than $8,000 immediately with an extra payment by

:14:43. > :14:46.the end of June. The dispute about bonuses had been going on since

:14:47. > :14:52.Friday. That's on BBC Afrik. A report that a teenager has been

:14:53. > :14:57.killed at an antigovernment protest in Venezuela. He was hit in the

:14:58. > :15:01.chest during clashes with police. Opposition activists say another

:15:02. > :15:09.protester was also killed. Dozens of arrests were made across the country

:15:10. > :15:14.in a day of mass demonstrations. Now, let's turn to the story that I

:15:15. > :15:20.was just mentioning, the Opposition Labour Party in the UK had its

:15:21. > :15:25.manifesto leaked last week. Today was the official launch of manifesto

:15:26. > :15:27.and well, it matched up to some degree last week, but not entirely.

:15:28. > :15:32.Let's hear from the Labour leader, Jeremy Corbyn.

:15:33. > :15:37.Whatever your age or situation, people are under pressure,

:15:38. > :15:41.struggling make ends meet. Our manifesto is for you. Labour will

:15:42. > :15:49.scrap tuition fees, lifting the debt...

:15:50. > :15:57.APPLAUSE Labour is guaranteeing the triple

:15:58. > :16:01.lock to protect pensioners' incomes. And Labour will take our railways

:16:02. > :16:07.back into public ownership and put passengers first.

:16:08. > :16:11.Well, you can find the whole manifesto online if you'd like to

:16:12. > :16:13.read it on the Labour website. A number of big headline promises you

:16:14. > :16:18.heard there from Jeremy Corbyn. Of course, they're going to cost money.

:16:19. > :16:23.Here are some of Labour's ways of funding those policies. It's

:16:24. > :16:33.planning an income tax rate that would be of 45 p on earnings above

:16:34. > :16:39.?80,000. It says once you earn over ?123,000 you earn 50 p on each

:16:40. > :16:45.pound. There's an excessive pay levy on salaries over ?330,000. Let's go

:16:46. > :16:48.live to Westminster. I guess, the policies get a lot of attention, but

:16:49. > :16:52.so do the questions about the funding. Absolutely. There are some

:16:53. > :16:59.big spending commitments in this Labour manifesto, huge promises to

:17:00. > :17:05.inject money into the NHS, into schools, into social care, to scrap

:17:06. > :17:10.university tuition fees. You know, this is big, ambitious promises to

:17:11. > :17:14.pump money into public services, increasing wages for public sector

:17:15. > :17:18.workers, so obviously the questions descend into where is this money

:17:19. > :17:22.coming from? Labour's answer is that this is coming from higher taxes,

:17:23. > :17:29.people at the top, businesses, big business abouts, they want -- big

:17:30. > :17:34.businesses, they want them and those earning over ?80,000 to pay a bit

:17:35. > :17:39.more. They think the tax rises will fully fund these promises. The

:17:40. > :17:43.policies of renationalising the railways, the water companies, Royal

:17:44. > :17:50.Mail, there was no costings there for how much that would actually

:17:51. > :17:54.cost. Now their answers, Jeremy Corbyn's answers is that it depends

:17:55. > :17:58.on at what point these nationalisations happen. There are

:17:59. > :18:01.questions. As to the tax rises, there is a school of thought that

:18:02. > :18:06.suggests that if tax rates go up, people will change their behaviour,

:18:07. > :18:10.companies will change their behaviour and the tax revenue that

:18:11. > :18:14.Labour is banking on will not actually materialise. But I think

:18:15. > :18:18.the answer that Labour is giving to people who say this is so far

:18:19. > :18:22.fetched, the Conservatives are saying, look the sums don't add up.

:18:23. > :18:28.Labour's argument is that they are presenting a radically different

:18:29. > :18:32.proposition for the UK economy. I spotted this tweet earlier from Tim

:18:33. > :18:35.Shipman, the political editor of the Sunday Times, Corbyn looked relaxed

:18:36. > :18:39.and composed. It helps when you're presenting things you believe. It is

:18:40. > :18:42.worth noting that for all the pressures on Jeremy Corbyn, he's

:18:43. > :18:46.delivered a set of policies here that are in his image. Absolutely.

:18:47. > :18:52.You know, cast your mind back to when he came to power, completely

:18:53. > :18:55.unexpectedly. He found himself with the party leadership in his hands.

:18:56. > :19:00.He has stuck it out, despite a lot of attempts to unseat him. And a lot

:19:01. > :19:03.of criticism of his leadership, he has stuck it out. Here is a

:19:04. > :19:08.manifesto with Jeremy Corbyn's name on it. It is completely authentic as

:19:09. > :19:12.you say. It's policies that he has believed in, has campaigned on for

:19:13. > :19:16.many years. And this is what he wants to present as his vision for

:19:17. > :19:19.the country. He's reshaped the Labour Party in his vision and now

:19:20. > :19:23.this is his offering to the country. So yes, I think it's absolutely

:19:24. > :19:26.right to say he is relaxed. He is the most relaxed we've seen him in a

:19:27. > :19:30.long time on the campaign trail. It suits him to be out among

:19:31. > :19:34.supporters. When he is out presenting his ideas, policies, he

:19:35. > :19:38.is very well received, because he is speaking to his backers. You know,

:19:39. > :19:44.these are party activists. These are people who support him. His

:19:45. > :19:48.challenge is to broaden out now beyond his support base and he

:19:49. > :19:52.thinks the policies are very popular and broadly, a lot of them are. But

:19:53. > :19:55.the issue is whether he has the credibility, certainly the

:19:56. > :19:59.Conservatives are making their campaign about Jeremy Corbyn

:20:00. > :20:03.personally, his credibility, whether Labour can be trusted on the

:20:04. > :20:06.economy. His challenge to say, look, he's trying to make this campaign

:20:07. > :20:09.about policy and his challenge to get the message out beyond his

:20:10. > :20:13.support base and appeal to those voters with just about three weeks

:20:14. > :20:16.to go. Thank you for taking us through

:20:17. > :20:21.that. Now next, I want to turn to a couple

:20:22. > :20:23.of stories about two different governments restricting social

:20:24. > :20:29.media. In a moment we'll talk about Ukraine. First, let's talk about

:20:30. > :20:34.Thailand. The Thai authorities gave Facebook a deadline of 10am local

:20:35. > :20:39.time to block over 100 pages from being seen in Thailand. The reason

:20:40. > :20:42.was these pages were deemed to have violated Thailand's strict laws

:20:43. > :20:45.which forbid insults to the Royal Family. If you don't comply with

:20:46. > :20:48.those rules, Facebook could be banned. Interestingly the

:20:49. > :20:52.authorities appear to have backed down. Here's our correspondent in

:20:53. > :20:55.Baghdad saying, there hasn't been a block on Facebook yet. In terms of

:20:56. > :21:01.the practicalities how can the courts keep up with all the new

:21:02. > :21:06.anti-monarchy Facebook posts? We shall see about that. Here's the BBC

:21:07. > :21:10.Thai service updating us. What happened today was the authority

:21:11. > :21:13.couldn't obtain the orders on time, therefore they cannot send it to

:21:14. > :21:16.Facebook. What happened today is Facebook is still operating in

:21:17. > :21:23.Thailand, there's no block in Thailand. So far, Thai authorities

:21:24. > :21:28.say that they are satisfied with Facebook because when they request

:21:29. > :21:31.the content blocked, it's done in 24 hours. We need to see what's going

:21:32. > :21:37.to happen next, as the authorities have said they will be able to send

:21:38. > :21:44.the court orders and hope that they will block those who violate the

:21:45. > :21:51.law. For this law, anyone who defame or insult the royal families can be

:21:52. > :21:57.punished and face up to 15 years in jail. Thai authorities trying to

:21:58. > :22:01.prevent people from seeing any content that seems to violate the

:22:02. > :22:07.law. As you might remember last month, the authorities warned people

:22:08. > :22:13.not to share online content on Facebook or critics who live abroad.

:22:14. > :22:17.Those critics often post content that violates the law. Now to

:22:18. > :22:21.Ukraine. The president there has ordered internet provide irto block

:22:22. > :22:24.a number of popular Russian social networks. Apparently without irony,

:22:25. > :22:32.the president used his own page on one of the blocked sites, to explain

:22:33. > :22:38.his decision. He says, "The challenges of hybrid war demand

:22:39. > :22:41.adequate responses. Massive Russian cyber attacks across the world,

:22:42. > :22:44.particularly in the French elections, which the Russians deny

:22:45. > :22:47.by the way, show it's time to act differently and more decisively.

:22:48. > :22:55.A number of large Russian sites have been affected. The Kremlin

:22:56. > :22:57.spokesperson is unimpressed. "It's another manifestation of unfriendly,

:22:58. > :23:06.short sighted policy towards Russia." Let's hear from our

:23:07. > :23:10.correspondent to get more on this. All those services, especially of

:23:11. > :23:14.the Russian speaking analogue of Facebook, they are widely used by

:23:15. > :23:19.people in Ukraine. It has 16 million users. All together, although

:23:20. > :23:24.services have 25 million users in Ukraine, which is huge. And they're

:23:25. > :23:27.used by people at different levels to communicate, basically to

:23:28. > :23:32.communicate. I also know from my personal experience that, for

:23:33. > :23:37.example, if it was used by military people on both sides, you know, on

:23:38. > :23:41.frontline in Eastern Ukraine just to conduct some negotiations, when

:23:42. > :23:46.normal, formal procedures didn't work. Contacta helped them to

:23:47. > :23:51.communicate and agrow on some minor ceasefire or on some minor

:23:52. > :23:54.exchanges. It was really important for ordinary people to communicate.

:23:55. > :23:59.But it seems that soon those services will be banned. It's

:24:00. > :24:04.actually unclear when the ban will start officially. We guess it will

:24:05. > :24:08.be tomorrow, but we're not sure. It's interesting that company owners

:24:09. > :24:12.are mostly Russian. They said that the ban wouldn't affect their

:24:13. > :24:16.benefits and would only affect the users, most in Ukraine, but also in

:24:17. > :24:20.Russia, of course, because they were communicating with their relatives

:24:21. > :24:27.or just people they know in Ukraine. So that's all the news for the

:24:28. > :24:30.moment. It seems that definitely this news, this ban will be

:24:31. > :24:35.discussed for a while both on Russian and Ukrainian side of the

:24:36. > :24:40.border. Both in real life and on the internet.

:24:41. > :24:44.US media is reported that Ford is planning to cut 10% of its global

:24:45. > :24:49.workforce. Samira is live in New York. Are we sure it's going to

:24:50. > :24:52.happen? Well, we're not sure. The company hasn't confirmed anything.

:24:53. > :24:56.All the company has said in response to these reports was that while

:24:57. > :25:01.we're committed to really optimising profits. When we're talking about

:25:02. > :25:03.10% of their workforce, we're talking about 20,000 people. That's

:25:04. > :25:08.happening throughout North America and in Asia. Now what's important is

:25:09. > :25:12.that this is going to impact the salaried workforce. From that we can

:25:13. > :25:16.interpret it's not really the manufacturers as people who are

:25:17. > :25:19.working on Assembly lines. We're talking about middle managers. This

:25:20. > :25:23.is really happening because the company is under pressure to try and

:25:24. > :25:29.boost profits in an era in which car sales are down and trying to lift

:25:30. > :25:32.the share price for the company. Ford's share price has fallen by

:25:33. > :25:36.more than 30%. So it's really quite significant. I've got to leave it

:25:37. > :25:41.there. Perhaps we can pick that story up again. That's it for the

:25:42. > :25:46.first half of the programme. In the second half of the programme, we'll

:25:47. > :25:50.have Outside Source sport. We'll look at the tennis,. . Maria

:25:51. > :25:53.Sharapova isn't going to the French Open. And astonishing wind surfing

:25:54. > :26:08.on snow to show you in about 15 minutes.

:26:09. > :26:10.Good evening. Heavy rain and thunder storms are
