:00:13. > :00:19.I'm Ros Atkins with Outside Source. These are the main stories... The US
:00:20. > :00:23.national security adviser has again defended Donald Trump's handling of
:00:24. > :00:27.classified information. What the president discussed with the Foreign
:00:28. > :00:31.Minister was wholly appropriate that conversation, and is consistent with
:00:32. > :00:35.the routine sharing of information between the president and any
:00:36. > :00:39.leaders with whom he is engaged. That was a few hours after President
:00:40. > :00:42.Trump had tweeted that he was quite right to share that information with
:00:43. > :00:49.Russia. There is growing suspicion that North is behind last week's
:00:50. > :00:53.global cyber attack. We will play you a report of a small Pacific
:00:54. > :00:58.island that should be paradise, but instead has become a dumping ground
:00:59. > :01:03.for 17 tonnes of litter and plastic. And an Outside Source sport, we have
:01:04. > :01:20.a new Dan Roan report on the battle to host the 2024 Olympics.
:01:21. > :01:26.Now, as I was just mentioning, there is growing suspicion that North
:01:27. > :01:30.Korea was behind last week's global cyber attack. A number of people
:01:31. > :01:36.have been looking at some of the code. This was shared by a Google
:01:37. > :01:39.researcher, clearly I can't explain it, but he is telling us it is a
:01:40. > :01:43.sample of the code used by the hackers in the attack. Lots of
:01:44. > :01:47.people who know more about these things than me spotted similarities
:01:48. > :01:53.to a previous cyber attack, namely the attack on Sony Pictures. It came
:01:54. > :01:57.just ahead of the release of the film The Interview, based around the
:01:58. > :02:03.assassination of Kim Jong-un, a comedy. That attack was carried out
:02:04. > :02:09.why the Lazarus Group, a criminal organisation with no links to North
:02:10. > :02:17.Korea. So we climb and gives an assessment. The manhunt is on to try
:02:18. > :02:22.and find the who was responsible. One of the clues is analysing the
:02:23. > :02:27.code that has been found in this ransomware. It seems to be similar
:02:28. > :02:31.to an earlier form of malware that was used by the Lazarus Group a few
:02:32. > :02:35.years ago. You may not have heard of them, but they are best known, their
:02:36. > :02:41.notoriety if you like is that they were supposed to be behind the Sony
:02:42. > :02:44.pictures hack, which was massive in 2014. They have links to North
:02:45. > :02:48.Korea. North Korea of course has denied all of this. There are other
:02:49. > :02:53.clues that might suggest other things. Another expert is saying the
:02:54. > :02:56.way that the ransomware demand was written, the one that was written in
:02:57. > :03:00.Chinese felt like the Miz in terms of the tone of the language. Perhaps
:03:01. > :03:05.it was somebody either in China or from China. There are all sorts of
:03:06. > :03:09.theories bouncing about. Another thing that everybody wants to do is
:03:10. > :03:13.follow the money. All of this money has gone into these three Bitcoin
:03:14. > :03:17.wallets and it has not been touched. The eyes of the world on these
:03:18. > :03:21.wallets. Who is going to take that money out? The way that Bitcoin is
:03:22. > :03:27.set up, there is no easy way to know who has access to those wallets. It
:03:28. > :03:35.is a much more anomalous forms and saying, I want a ransom, here are my
:03:36. > :03:38.bank account the towels -- anonymous form. This hasn't worked out quite
:03:39. > :03:40.right. Normally a ransomware gang would have a different Bitcoin
:03:41. > :03:45.account, is one that, kind of like a bank account for each demand. The
:03:46. > :03:48.idea is that everybody puts in their few hundred dollars, ?200, they
:03:49. > :03:52.empty the account, it disappears and the money is gone. This hasn't
:03:53. > :03:55.happened in this case. What is fascinating for those who are
:03:56. > :03:59.searching for this people, what does this mean? Is this gang not one of
:04:00. > :04:03.the professionals? Have they not done this before's has it got out of
:04:04. > :04:10.hand's it looks like it is possible there were meant to be more wallets
:04:11. > :04:13.but they were not set up in time. Does that make it easier or harder
:04:14. > :04:16.to find them? If they are not very professional, might they split up
:04:17. > :04:19.again? But nobody knows who they are. They are totally out there in
:04:20. > :04:22.the wild. While this manhunt is going on, lots of different
:04:23. > :04:26.countries and corporations are working out how to improve their
:04:27. > :04:30.defences. Right, the big lesson that has come out of all of this is that
:04:31. > :04:33.you ignore security patches that Rob Burrow. All of the IT people are
:04:34. > :04:37.having a field day and saying, we have been warning the three years --
:04:38. > :04:43.ignored security patches at your peril. Everybody is learning to be
:04:44. > :04:46.more prepared. This is not sophisticated malware, it took
:04:47. > :04:50.advantage of an exploit that had been made public, that is how these
:04:51. > :04:55.things work. The fact that it is on such an impressive than to scale has
:04:56. > :05:03.been a huge wake-up call for the world. -- an unprecedented scale.
:05:04. > :05:06.Let's begin Outside Source sport by talking about the two countries
:05:07. > :05:12.vying to hold the 2024 Summer Olympics. We have Los Angeles versus
:05:13. > :05:16.Paris. Paris's bid has just received a major boost. The new president,
:05:17. > :05:20.Emmanuel Macron, said he supports the bid and he will travel to the
:05:21. > :05:25.IOC headquarters in Switzerland in July when these two cities will make
:05:26. > :05:31.their final cases. The BBC Sport editor Dan Roan has been looking at
:05:32. > :05:35.this story. Here is his latest report. He is just three days into
:05:36. > :05:40.the job, but France's new president has wasted little time in backing
:05:41. > :05:43.Paris's bid to host the 2024 Olympic Games. Welcoming members of the
:05:44. > :05:48.International Olympic Committee to be Italy's a palace on the final day
:05:49. > :05:51.of their inspection committee. Paris has committed to spending billions
:05:52. > :05:58.of the event, the city mayor told me why. It will transform Paris, with
:05:59. > :06:05.the village and after the games, a village for the athletes will be
:06:06. > :06:09.housing for people, and we need housing for people in the north of
:06:10. > :06:14.Paris. So we are very, very committed. Sport's showpiece event
:06:15. > :06:19.always divides magical moments. But the sight of Rio 2016's abandoned
:06:20. > :06:24.Olympic Park has once again raised questions over legacy and the vast
:06:25. > :06:27.cost of playing host means the games have an image problem. I will be
:06:28. > :06:32.right here in the city of Angels, watching the Olympics. Despite all
:06:33. > :06:37.of this, Los Angeles also wants to host the games. Its bid is privately
:06:38. > :06:42.financed, with the venues already built. Mike Harris, it has received
:06:43. > :06:45.Wawrinka rays from the IOC. -- like Paris. Things that you point to a
:06:46. > :06:50.budget issues and engaging youth, those things literally go away. It
:06:51. > :06:54.becomes the Liverpool as part of our bid. There are challenges facing the
:06:55. > :06:59.Olympic movement, we can combo waters for seven years, that is
:07:00. > :07:03.exactly what they need. -- calm the waters. The IOC has become
:07:04. > :07:07.accustomed to being courted by heads of state. But this evaluation
:07:08. > :07:18.commission will only decide between two rival cities after a host of
:07:19. > :07:20.others pulled out of the race due to a lack of public or political
:07:21. > :07:23.support. It could force the IOC into one charted territory. Whichever
:07:24. > :07:25.city losers look set to be offered the 2020 eight games as a
:07:26. > :07:28.consolation prize, as the IOC considers an unprecedented two games
:07:29. > :07:31.deal in September to avoid the risk of having no bidders. It is
:07:32. > :07:36.something that we all have to look at and have to figure out why that,
:07:37. > :07:41.you know, how events are not maybe as attractive as they were 20 or 30
:07:42. > :07:47.years ago. We should always be challenging ourselves as to how we
:07:48. > :07:50.can make these events is more appropriate for local communities.
:07:51. > :07:55.We do need to communicate some of those values, and I'm not sure that,
:07:56. > :08:00.you know, I'm not sure any of us have really done that. This two
:08:01. > :08:03.horse race seems too close to call. Paris and Alejandro is that the
:08:04. > :08:08.Olympics before and insist their focus is solely on the 2024 games --
:08:09. > :08:15.and LA. But at a critical time for the future of the event, the IOC
:08:16. > :08:19.knows that the race is on to provide a solution. Last night on sport we
:08:20. > :08:23.were talking about how Roger Federer will not be given to the French
:08:24. > :08:27.Open. To that list you can add Borre Sharapova. She has not been offered
:08:28. > :08:31.the wild card. There was a lot of interest in this because it was the
:08:32. > :08:35.first Major she could have competed in since her debut band. The
:08:36. > :08:40.organisers were never giving her too much hope. -- doping ban. The head
:08:41. > :08:44.of the French tennis Federation put it this way, this is not a rock
:08:45. > :08:48.opera, meaning that Sharapova would not be getting any favours because
:08:49. > :08:55.she is a big name. So it has proved. Let's bring in Mick McCormac. What
:08:56. > :08:59.is the process that goes into deciding whether Maria Sharapova
:09:00. > :09:02.gets a wild card or not? There is a long, long meeting between all of
:09:03. > :09:08.the tennis officials. But ultimately what they had to decide he was, was
:09:09. > :09:12.her form warranted to get her in here, or were they going to bypass
:09:13. > :09:16.the fact that she had come back from a doping test? It was a principled
:09:17. > :09:19.decision that the tennis Federation took in France, because they said
:09:20. > :09:21.that while the fans were disappointed and character of might
:09:22. > :09:36.be disappointed, he had to take a
:09:37. > :09:38.strong, principled decision against doping in sport -- Sharapova might
:09:39. > :09:41.be disappointed. She was ranked outside the top 200 after the 15
:09:42. > :09:44.month ban. The long and short of it is that she didn't have the form and
:09:45. > :09:46.it would have given the wrong message for the French tennis
:09:47. > :09:49.Federation to allow her to walk in there without having done the
:09:50. > :09:51.legwork. That is the long and short of it, really. What about Wimbledon?
:09:52. > :09:54.Interestingly, the last hour or so just from now, Sharapova has
:09:55. > :10:01.withdrawn from the Italian open in the second round of her game against
:10:02. > :10:05.Baroni. She was up in the third set but she has retired. She had her
:10:06. > :10:10.left thigh heavily strapped. Really interesting to follow that, we will
:10:11. > :10:15.be across it. If she hasn't made the semifinals in Rome she would have
:10:16. > :10:19.qualified automatically for the main draw of Wimbledon. So now it is up
:10:20. > :10:23.to her to qualified through the tournament in south London. She has
:10:24. > :10:26.made it harder for herself. Interesting to note as well but
:10:27. > :10:30.maybe Wimbledon would have watched what the French tennis Federation
:10:31. > :10:35.would have done with their decision. Because they too can still offer her
:10:36. > :10:38.a wild card away from all of this qualifying, but the president might
:10:39. > :10:44.have just been set in Paris. Their re-entry in, thank you, Nick. Next
:10:45. > :10:48.on Outside Source we have two bits of incredible footage -- very
:10:49. > :10:53.intriguing. This is from the wind Surf slalom world tour. This event
:10:54. > :10:57.is taking place in Japan at a place called Suki Harmer Beach. This
:10:58. > :11:05.particular discipline involves these guys going very, very fast around a
:11:06. > :11:09.series of set for yous. It is not dissimilar to races you would have
:11:10. > :11:13.seen. You imagined they would be invited back.
:11:14. > :11:26.A French man won the mens rea is. The next leg is in Spain. That
:11:27. > :11:30.itself is impressive. Stick a windsurf on some snow, also in
:11:31. > :11:36.Japan, this is what you get. I've never seen anything like this before
:11:37. > :11:40.today. This guy is from the US, he is a professional windsurfer who
:11:41. > :11:44.also snowboards. He has put two and two together. This is now crush here
:11:45. > :11:49.in Japan, the mind really boggles as you watch this. -- this is a
:11:50. > :11:56.mountain in Japan. Hitting the speed is going down the mountain, just
:11:57. > :12:01.incredible. Very impressive, isn't it? I have a new report from David
:12:02. > :12:05.Shukman, the BBC's science editor. He has been in Jordan because the
:12:06. > :12:09.king of Jordan has just opened a new science laboratory, and it is an
:12:10. > :12:14.impressive collaboration, certainly by the Middle East standards. In a
:12:15. > :12:18.rare show of unity we have Jordanian, Iranian, Israeli and
:12:19. > :12:23.Palestinian scientists all working together on this one project which
:12:24. > :12:25.is a particle accelerator which can then act as a powerful microscope.
:12:26. > :12:36.I'll let David explained. I'm in Jordan at a new research
:12:37. > :12:39.centre called Sesame and around me is a machine called a Synchrotron
:12:40. > :12:42.that acts as an incredibly There are some 60 of
:12:43. > :12:45.these around the world, everything from pharmaceuticals
:12:46. > :12:48.to plants to ancient remains. This is the first to be built
:12:49. > :12:51.here in the Middle East. What's the big deal,
:12:52. > :12:53.you might think. Well, listen to some of the
:12:54. > :12:56.countries involved in this project. There's Jordan, of course,
:12:57. > :12:57.Egypt, Turkey, Cyprus, Iran and, amazingly,
:12:58. > :12:59.Israel as well. One of the people who has been
:13:00. > :13:02.steering this project to fruition is the British physicist Chris
:13:03. > :13:03.Llewellyn-Smith. How amazed are you, given the sort
:13:04. > :13:06.of countries involved, given how hostile they can be
:13:07. > :13:08.to each other, that here you are today, the thing
:13:09. > :13:11.is starting to work? The scientists involved in Sesame
:13:12. > :13:17.overlook the politics. They work together as scientists,
:13:18. > :13:19.producing a facility If it's a time of particular tension
:13:20. > :13:25.in the region, of course, they can feel a bit uncomfortable
:13:26. > :13:29.but nothing serious has happened. Did you ever wake up in the morning,
:13:30. > :13:32.hear the news of some new conflict in the Middle East,
:13:33. > :13:36.a new source of tension and think, surely, the various partners
:13:37. > :13:41.will have to walk away now? Not really, because I understood,
:13:42. > :13:44.meeting them, that they want this to happen, at least at the level
:13:45. > :13:48.of the scientists. The real problem has
:13:49. > :13:51.been finding the money. The countries in this region have
:13:52. > :13:54.science budgets that you can hardly see with a microscope,
:13:55. > :13:57.most of them. There have been many times
:13:58. > :14:00.in the history of this project where a rational person would have
:14:01. > :14:03.said, let's give up, but it seemed important to keep
:14:04. > :14:06.going and here we are today. We're launching the project,
:14:07. > :14:08.albeit with minimal supporting infrastructure, but it's
:14:09. > :14:12.going to work, it's Do you have to pinch
:14:13. > :14:19.yourselves, now and again, I suppose so, but that would sound
:14:20. > :14:24.a little bit arrogant. Chris Llewellyn-Smith there,
:14:25. > :14:28.thanks very much indeed. So the real test comes now
:14:29. > :14:31.when teams of Iranian, Israeli, Palestinian,
:14:32. > :14:33.Turkish scientists, all come here to use the facility and it's
:14:34. > :14:49.meant to run for many years. Well, that the story to inspire us.
:14:50. > :14:54.In a few minutes we will turn to a story that has made many hearts
:14:55. > :14:58.heavy, a celebrated Mexican journalist was shot dead in the
:14:59. > :15:01.street yesterday. He had been reporting on drug cartels. We will
:15:02. > :15:11.have a report on that from Mexico City.
:15:12. > :15:13.Greater Manchester Police say the death of the Moors murderer,
:15:14. > :15:16.Ian Brady, won't stop them looking for the remains of Keith Bennett,
:15:17. > :15:19.who was the only one of his five child victims never found.
:15:20. > :15:21.Brady, and his partner Myra Hindley , abducted
:15:22. > :15:23.the 12-year-old in 1964, and refused to say
:15:24. > :15:28.His name will always be notorious, his face the image of evil,
:15:29. > :15:30.his crimes amongst the worst of the 20th Century -
:15:31. > :15:34.He took children and tortured them, and brought their bodies high up
:15:35. > :15:40.On the desolate Moors, the police spent years
:15:41. > :15:42.Brady's accomplice was his girlfriend, Myra Hindley,
:15:43. > :15:48.Brady's death closes a chapter of criminal history.
:15:49. > :15:52.The youngest, Lesley Ann Downey, was just ten years old.
:15:53. > :16:03.At their trial, the pair were met with public jeers.
:16:04. > :16:06.Sentenced to life, Brady was at first taken to prison.
:16:07. > :16:07.But in 1985, he was transferred
:16:08. > :16:09.to Ashworth, a high-security hospital.
:16:10. > :16:15.In one, he claimed to feel remorse, but he never showed any sympathy
:16:16. > :16:17.to the family of 12-year-old Keith Bennett, whose
:16:18. > :16:23.It consumed the life of his mother, Winnie Johnson, who spoke
:16:24. > :16:29.I want it coming to an end, and I want Keith found.
:16:30. > :16:34.When I found out that I'd got cancer, and I said,
:16:35. > :16:37."I want to know where Keith is before anything happens to me."
:16:38. > :16:40.Winnie often went to the Moors, and never gave up hope
:16:41. > :16:45.The police say that virtually every week someone gets in touch
:16:46. > :16:48.purporting to be able to lead them to Keith, but they're not actively
:16:49. > :16:54.They say though that they'll never close the case,
:16:55. > :16:57.and Ian Brady's death doesn't change that.
:16:58. > :17:00.Yesterday, knowing his death was imminent, Brady called his
:17:01. > :17:07.I don't think there was anything he really knew or had any
:17:08. > :17:09.information that would assist in the location of
:17:10. > :17:14.Did Brady say anything which would give the families
:17:15. > :17:22.Today, a coroner said that Brady's ashes must not be
:17:23. > :17:27.taken his Saddleworth secret to the grave -
:17:28. > :17:54.I'm Ros Atkins an Outside Source, live in the BBC newsroom. Our lead
:17:55. > :17:57.story is that Donald Trump has been defending his decision to share
:17:58. > :18:00.intelligence with the Russian Foreign Minister. His national
:18:01. > :18:07.security adviser says that no sources were compromised. Next on
:18:08. > :18:11.Outside Source, I want to turn to a very important story in Nigeria. The
:18:12. > :18:16.issue of kidnapping. The country is suffering its worst economic crisis
:18:17. > :18:24.in decades, and that is having a knock-on effect in this particular
:18:25. > :18:27.type of crime. In Lagos alone, more than 50 kidnappings were reported
:18:28. > :18:31.last year, but analysts think the true figure was far higher because
:18:32. > :18:36.kidnappings go unreported as families pay ransom is rather than
:18:37. > :18:39.involving the police. The BBC has spoken to for people who have been
:18:40. > :18:46.kidnapped recently. These are their stories.
:18:47. > :18:56.There was a bullet, shooting, shooting. They killed one of my
:18:57. > :19:52.security guys. They even shot one of my wives
:19:53. > :19:59.They took us to a creek, we were beaten with machetes. We thought it
:20:00. > :20:04.was the end. It was like a forest. There was water, mosquitoes were our
:20:05. > :20:55.friends there. And the snakes. Next on Outside Source, I want to
:20:56. > :21:00.talk about Javier Valdez. He was an award-winning journalist who was
:21:01. > :21:03.known far beyond Mexico. He reported on organised crime there, and he
:21:04. > :21:08.paid for his work with his life. Yesterday he was gunned down, his
:21:09. > :21:12.body was found on the bill of the street in the city where his
:21:13. > :21:16.newspaper was based -- in the middle of the street. These pictures were
:21:17. > :21:19.of the scene of the shooting, afterwards you can see the body
:21:20. > :21:23.lying in the street. Unfortunately this was not a surprise. He had
:21:24. > :21:27.received many death threats greyhound grenade was thrown into
:21:28. > :21:31.his office several years ago. -- a hand grenade. He is the sixth
:21:32. > :21:36.journalist to be killed in Mexico this year. I talked to the BBC
:21:37. > :21:40.reporter in Mexico City about the man who had died. Have EA was a

:21:52. > :21:54.have heard of it because it was the El Chapo state where the Sinaloa
:21:55. > :21:58.cartel was based, a very violent state. He knew what he was doing in
:21:59. > :22:02.refusing to back down covering organised crime, it was putting him
:22:03. > :22:07.in grave danger. I want to read something that he said in an
:22:08. > :22:13.acceptance speech for an international press freedom award.
:22:14. > :22:19.He said, my work is dangerous to be alive, to do journalism is to walk
:22:20. > :22:24.an invisible line drawn by the bad guys in drug trafficking and the
:22:25. > :22:27.government. He knew that he was very respected in the journalistic
:22:28. > :22:31.community here and internationally, but was making himself a lot of
:22:32. > :22:35.enemies. I know there is talk of investigations both into his murder
:22:36. > :22:40.and other murders, but in reality, isn't the government impotent to
:22:41. > :22:43.these crimes? Absolutely. I mean, for all of the tweaks that the
:22:44. > :22:49.president may put out, there is very full hope here. That is because this
:22:50. > :22:52.isn't a new situation. -- very good for hope. Boilers against
:22:53. > :23:04.journalists has been going on for years. By some estimates --
:23:05. > :23:07.violence. Over 100 journalists have been killed since the year 2000, and
:23:08. > :23:10.the vast majority of cases have not seen any justice. The impunity that
:23:11. > :23:12.is seen over and over again in these attacks sends a message that you can
:23:13. > :23:14.do whatever you want to journalists without any repercussions. So
:23:15. > :23:17.people, journalists here are reaching breaking point where they
:23:18. > :23:19.are trying to figure out what to do. Because they don't trust the
:23:20. > :23:22.government to deal with this. They often think the government is
:23:23. > :23:27.implicit in these crimes, and there is often evidence to prove that. Two
:23:28. > :23:31.publications today actually refused to publish, as a sign of protest.
:23:32. > :23:35.There is a vigilant call tonight. A lot of uncertainty about what is
:23:36. > :23:40.done, the expectation really is that these kind of attacks will continue.
:23:41. > :23:48.This is South America, that is Henderson Island, an uninhabited
:23:49. > :23:50.island in the South Pacific, it has been nicknamed plastic island after
:23:51. > :23:56.38 million items washed up on it. Victoria Gill has more.
:23:57. > :23:58.3,000 miles from the mainland, a remote paradise that's
:23:59. > :24:02.Its beaches are now more densely polluted with plastic
:24:03. > :24:06.Henderson Island is home only to South Pacific seabirds
:24:07. > :24:09.and marine wildlife, and, with no human inhabitants,
:24:10. > :24:17.But an international team of researchers
:24:18. > :24:20.who visited and studied the island calculated that 17 tonnes
:24:21. > :24:23.of our litter, washed or dumped into rivers and oceans,
:24:24. > :24:28.Dr Alex Bond saw the devastation up close.
:24:29. > :24:33.We looked across the beaches in a variety of different plots
:24:34. > :24:35.and counted the pieces of plastic on the surface and down
:24:36. > :24:38.to about ten centimetres, and from that we were able
:24:39. > :24:40.to extrapolate the area of the beaches, that's how we came
:24:41. > :24:43.up with our estimate of about 38 million
:24:44. > :24:46.It's really shocking, because, as you step along the beach,
:24:47. > :24:59.the plastic is absolutely everywhere, no place is without it.

:25:04. > :25:06.I'll see you tomorrow.
