:00:09. > :00:11.Hello, I'm Ros Atkins, this is Outside Source.

:00:12. > :00:14.A month ago the director of the FBI was fired by Donald Trump.

:00:15. > :00:29.It is my judgment that I was fired because of the Russian

:00:30. > :00:32.investigation, I was fired in some way to change the way the Russian

:00:33. > :00:33.investigation was being conducted. James Comey gave an extraordinary

:00:34. > :00:36.account of his dealings with the President in the weeks

:00:37. > :00:38.ahead of his sacking. We'll be live in Washington

:00:39. > :00:40.to answer your questions on what this means, send them

:00:41. > :00:42.in on #BBCOS. Meanwhile, Republican

:00:43. > :00:44.reaction to Mr Comey's Paul Ryan said the President

:00:45. > :00:48.was still learning. We'll hear from a supporter

:00:49. > :00:52.of Donald Trump. We have a report from Michigan,

:00:53. > :00:55.where we've been trying to talk to a radical preacher who's thought

:00:56. > :00:59.to have inspired one There's half an hour

:01:00. > :01:02.to go until voting closes in the UK's general election,

:01:03. > :01:06.and until we get the first indication of who will be

:01:07. > :01:08.leading the country And in OS sport, we'll be

:01:09. > :01:19.talking about basketball, and asking whether the current

:01:20. > :01:21.Golden State Warriors team is the best one

:01:22. > :01:48.the NBA has ever seen. That was about the James Comey

:01:49. > :01:51.testimony, the broader story of Donald Trump.

:01:52. > :02:13.Hi, how are you? We can start with this question. Russia has been

:02:14. > :02:20.accused of hacking the Democratic committee. This was the huge hack

:02:21. > :02:24.that took place sometime last year. It revealed all sorts of

:02:25. > :02:30.embarrassing information about the democratic election process, the

:02:31. > :02:33.nomination process, and lead to the resignation of the chairwoman. It

:02:34. > :02:41.was embarrassing, and a lot of news that the Democrats would really

:02:42. > :02:45.rather not have anybody know. It also, apparently, targeted the

:02:46. > :02:55.Republican committee but that hack was not as well known. The Russians,

:02:56. > :02:59.also accused of putting across fake news, propaganda, false information

:03:00. > :03:02.and generally trying to undermine the democratic process and confuse

:03:03. > :03:17.Americans, making them turn on each other. And another question, from

:03:18. > :03:22.bea-keeper! I think the ramifications at the moment are more

:03:23. > :03:30.political than legal. This was testimony that was given under oath

:03:31. > :03:34.by the former director of the FBI, the credibility was very high.

:03:35. > :03:39.People are going to tend to believe what he said. And one of the

:03:40. > :03:44.astonishing things, he called into question the character of President

:03:45. > :03:48.Trump. He said that despite he had been taking notes or all of his

:03:49. > :03:53.conversations. He said that he thought he would need them, to

:03:54. > :03:59.protect himself and the FBI. Whether or not any of this can put Donald

:04:00. > :04:04.Trump into legal jeopardy, most experts that. The issue of legal

:04:05. > :04:15.justice, but as James Comey said, it is for others to decide. And another

:04:16. > :04:18.question. I think we should explain, for people not watching, James Comey

:04:19. > :04:25.said I have got more information but I am not sharing it here. Yes. This

:04:26. > :04:34.was an opportunity for James Comey to discuss in private, and are

:04:35. > :04:37.classified setting, with senators, information that he views cannot be

:04:38. > :04:45.made public. This is information relating to the ongoing probe into

:04:46. > :04:48.Russian meddling into the presidential election. Of course, we

:04:49. > :04:56.have got to remember it is actually what all these hearings are about.

:04:57. > :05:03.This is almost a side issue that it has veered into. This is all about

:05:04. > :05:08.the Russian investigation. Anything pertaining to that, anything that

:05:09. > :05:17.could affect that investigation, would be heard behind closed doors.

:05:18. > :05:23.And one more. Also, one from Patrick. Does this take us closer to

:05:24. > :05:26.the impeachment of Donald Tron? Critics probably hoping that is

:05:27. > :05:33.going to happen but most people have said that does not take that any

:05:34. > :05:37.closer? I think they are right. That is the bottom line. It was

:05:38. > :05:42.extraordinary theatre, political theatre. The fundamental question,

:05:43. > :05:46.whether or not the president obstructed the course of justice by

:05:47. > :05:53.asking James Comey to drop an investigation into his former

:05:54. > :05:57.national security adviser Michael Flynn, that is a question that is

:05:58. > :06:02.being investigated. That was something new that we discover.

:06:03. > :06:05.James Comey said that the decision would be left with the special

:06:06. > :06:12.counsel, implying that this is a matter for investigation. We are

:06:13. > :06:21.still a long way off impeachment. Thank you. That was useful. We can

:06:22. > :06:26.talk about basketball. We have had a lot of great teams in basketball

:06:27. > :06:33.history, Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls. The Boston Celtics.

:06:34. > :06:36.Magic Johnson. But a reasonable case that what we are seeing from the

:06:37. > :06:43.Golden State Warriors at the moment, could make them the best that we

:06:44. > :06:50.have ever seen. Last season, scored more wins in home and away season

:06:51. > :06:53.than any team. They lost in the final to Cleveland, but they seem to

:06:54. > :07:01.be putting that correct. This year, 3-0 up. If they win the next game,

:07:02. > :07:05.they will not just the champions, but they will have done that without

:07:06. > :07:13.losing a single game in the play-offs. Never been done. We can

:07:14. > :07:16.speak to a nBA reporter. When you are trying to assess the greatest,

:07:17. > :07:23.it is not always just about statistics? Definitely not. But as

:07:24. > :07:27.we have seen, this team is about a lot more than statistics. The

:07:28. > :07:36.statistics are pretty staggering. As you mentioned, one win away from

:07:37. > :07:40.becoming the first team to go 16-0 in the playoffs. Michael Jordan and

:07:41. > :07:47.the Chicago Bulls never did it. Boston. These teams that we looked

:07:48. > :07:53.at, the historic teams, never did that. And I think that is not even

:07:54. > :07:59.the most impressive thing about the Golden State Warriors. This is the

:08:00. > :08:10.third straight year, winning 67 or more games. And also added top two

:08:11. > :08:15.players. Really showing no signs of slowing down. I think we are looking

:08:16. > :08:19.at just the beginning, of the potential dynasty. I do not see

:08:20. > :08:25.anybody from this team going anywhere for some time. It is almost

:08:26. > :08:39.made me for the rest of the NBA. We can talk about Kevin Duran. --

:08:40. > :08:44.Durant. Sometimes, people can disrupt the balance. But it has been

:08:45. > :08:49.remarkable? He has not disrupted the balance. You already had four all

:08:50. > :08:56.stars. Some people thought not enough shots to go round. But they

:08:57. > :09:05.have almost sacrificed their games a little. You have got three of the

:09:06. > :09:13.best shooters, and they have the ability to go off at any time. And

:09:14. > :09:17.win all of them are on, as last night, absolutely unstoppable. It is

:09:18. > :09:27.amazing to see how quickly they can jump together. Here they are. 15-0.

:09:28. > :09:32.Just one away from another historic season. And if they do win the next

:09:33. > :09:39.game, a risk that the owner of the team could lose money? That is the

:09:40. > :09:44.problem with sports. All of the money that goes around the NBA. I

:09:45. > :09:51.have seen this, and it is a pretty good amount of money, if they do not

:09:52. > :09:55.go back to Golden State, going to lose a significant amount, not going

:09:56. > :10:00.to be broadcast, losing tickets, but the notion that that is going to be

:10:01. > :10:07.bad for the team, and that they would prefer for it to go five, six

:10:08. > :10:13.games... That is ludicrous. This Warriors team, they have wanted to

:10:14. > :10:16.annihilate Cleveland. That is exactly what they are doing. They

:10:17. > :10:24.are going to stop at nothing to do that in four games. And I think that

:10:25. > :10:31.has worked more than $20 million extra. Good to talk. Perhaps we can

:10:32. > :10:44.talk again after game four. You can get his reporting on the USA Today

:10:45. > :10:50.website. And this Sunday, Emanuel Macron, hoping his party can go from

:10:51. > :11:04.no candidates, too many. Burke Paris correspondent has been to Marseille,

:11:05. > :11:11.to gauge the chances. It is called the belly of Marseille, one of the

:11:12. > :11:18.poorest districts in France. Unemployment, three times the

:11:19. > :11:23.national average. Voters here tend to fall to the far left. But Macron

:11:24. > :11:26.and his party hoping to get a parliamentary majority, from

:11:27. > :11:32.scratch. And they have been building support. His election was about

:11:33. > :11:37.bringing people together, Muslim, Arab, Christian, Indian. We are all

:11:38. > :11:43.be seen. No hate. Today, I am proud to be French. This woman is the

:11:44. > :11:48.party candidate for central Marseille. She has been in politics

:11:49. > :11:57.for less than one year, and tonight, facing her first ever election

:11:58. > :12:02.debate. All part of Macron's plan to field hundreds of new faces.

:12:03. > :12:07.Political people, they are used to promising a lot of things, but after

:12:08. > :12:15.the just do politics. We are coming from real life, working every day,

:12:16. > :12:20.fixing problems. France's newest party is battling rivals from the

:12:21. > :12:23.political extremes. Traditional parties risk losing hundreds of

:12:24. > :12:29.seats in the selection, while Macron's army of new faces has

:12:30. > :12:39.predicted a sweeping majority. The main rival, the far left leader, who

:12:40. > :12:48.has twice run for president. He said the success of Mr Macron, was built

:12:49. > :12:55.on the allusion of change. The all party was eliminated, not because

:12:56. > :12:59.they were old, but the same. What Macron proposes, just more of the

:13:00. > :13:05.same. I do not think it is going to end well. The political landscape of

:13:06. > :13:08.France is changing, Emanuel Macron one the election by offering an

:13:09. > :13:13.alternative to political extremes and elliptical experience. He is

:13:14. > :13:20.repeating that in a nationwide experiment. Perhaps his biggest

:13:21. > :13:22.gamble yet. That is on Sunday. And we will be covering those

:13:23. > :13:28.parliamentary elections. We have got some more electoral matters to

:13:29. > :13:41.consider. The last few minutes of the UK general election. 10pm local

:13:42. > :13:45.time. And afterwards, a special is going to begin. The exit polls will

:13:46. > :13:57.give us some indications of how things have gone.

:13:58. > :14:08.The growing resistance of bacteria to antibiotics, one of the main

:14:09. > :14:09.problems for antibiotics. 40% of antibiotics, are used to treat

:14:10. > :14:18.animals. Now researchers at Leicester

:14:19. > :14:20.University are developing an alternative way of treating

:14:21. > :14:22.diseases in pigs. As our Science Correspondent,

:14:23. > :14:24.Pallab Ghosh reports it's hoped the findings will have benefits

:14:25. > :14:34.for humans too. Half of the antibiotics are given to

:14:35. > :14:39.livestock to keep healthy. This man pigs outdoors, raises but in the

:14:40. > :14:45.intensive farms use a lot. If those become infected with resistant super

:14:46. > :14:52.bugs, it could be passed on to people with the meat is not properly

:14:53. > :14:56.cooked. A suggestion that resistant bacteria in animals may be passed to

:14:57. > :15:02.humans. And if we have got another tool in the box, dealing with

:15:03. > :15:07.resistant bacteria, animal population or human population, that

:15:08. > :15:09.has got to be a gain. Researchers at Leicester University may have come

:15:10. > :15:17.up with just what the farmers have been asking for. Virus that kills

:15:18. > :15:23.infections like antibiotics. It attaches itself to a summer Nella

:15:24. > :15:28.bug, then injects the DNA, and makes the summer Nella harmless. And if

:15:29. > :15:34.that stops superbugs developing in animals, it will reduce the risk to

:15:35. > :15:40.people. Many bacteria that we cannot treat now with antibiotics because

:15:41. > :15:45.they have become resistant. Using this natural enemy, for specific

:15:46. > :15:50.diseases, could really change the way that we treat infection in the

:15:51. > :16:00.future. So far, they have shown that it works. And it has become quite

:16:01. > :16:05.powder. The next stage, to feed this to the pigs, to see if it works in

:16:06. > :16:10.practice. If it does, it could replace antibiotics and that could

:16:11. > :16:15.replace the risk of superbugs developing on farms. Trials are due

:16:16. > :16:17.to begin at the end of this year. If they are successful, doctors could

:16:18. > :16:32.see of the virus could be used to treat people.

:16:33. > :16:35.The sacked head of the FBI James Comey has testified in the US

:16:36. > :16:37.senate about his dealings with President Trump,

:16:38. > :16:40.and Russia's interference in the election campaign.

:16:41. > :16:43.He says he documented all their meetings because he was

:16:44. > :16:47.concerned that Mr Trump might lie about them.

:16:48. > :16:48.The White House has already responded, saying

:16:49. > :17:00.Police investigating Saturday's attack on London Bridge have

:17:01. > :17:02.arrested three more people - in east London.

:17:03. > :17:05.They were made in Ilford, which is close to where two

:17:06. > :17:11.The total number of arrests is now 17 - and five of those

:17:12. > :17:17.We've also seen footage of the three attackers

:17:18. > :17:29.They were filmed laughing, joking and hugging.

:17:30. > :17:34.Also, a friend of Khuram Butt has told the BBC that he was a fan

:17:35. > :17:42.of American Radical Preacher Ahmad Musa Jibril.

:17:43. > :17:46.Aleem Maqbool travelled there to try and talk with him.

:17:47. > :17:50.To please the enemies of Allah and the enemies of mankind.

:17:51. > :17:53.Ahmad Musa Jibril, an American, and one of the most popular online

:17:54. > :18:04.voices among Brits who go to fight with so-called Islamic State.

:18:05. > :18:07.He calls for Jihad and preaches separation of Muslims

:18:08. > :18:10.Hours ago, masses of the ummah, our ummah,

:18:11. > :18:18.were joining with the kafir in the New Year celebration.

:18:19. > :18:20.A former friend of London attacker Khuram Butt says

:18:21. > :18:33.it was Jibril's videos that helped to radicalise him.

:18:34. > :18:36.The preacher himself is a free man, living in Michigan.

:18:37. > :18:38.Well, we have been trying to speak with Jibril

:18:39. > :18:40.about his preaching but for now, at least, he's a pretty

:18:41. > :18:43.His neighbours, though, have told us they thought

:18:44. > :18:46.he was nice and friendly and said they had no idea he

:18:47. > :18:48.produced such videos. But the FBI did know.

:18:49. > :18:51.It tried for years to put away Jibril but never managed to find

:18:52. > :19:00.He is very smart, as many of these folks are.

:19:01. > :19:06.They know there is a line they can go up to and not to cross that line.

:19:07. > :19:07.But talking generally about killing people,

:19:08. > :19:09.making Jews orphans, that is not enough?

:19:10. > :19:11.Unfortunately, in this country it is not.

:19:12. > :19:13.Ahmad Musa Jibril has been a nuisance to Muslims

:19:14. > :19:21.He will come and say things to imams sometimes, that you are out,

:19:22. > :19:23.separated from your vision, this is not the way,

:19:24. > :19:33.Even imams in the area say they have called for action against him.

:19:34. > :19:36.Freedom of speech stops at speech but when you have

:19:37. > :19:38.someone act upon it, this is crossing the line.

:19:39. > :19:46.Do you think there are others, even in this community,

:19:47. > :19:54.There are many of them, many of them.

:19:55. > :19:59.Here, stopping those who are not quite caught crossing from preaching

:20:00. > :20:01.hate to actively supporting militants is tough.

:20:02. > :20:06.Even if they potentially inspire violent acts.

:20:07. > :20:09.But that is not just a problem for this community and certainly not

:20:10. > :20:39.We can go back to the main story, James Comey testimony, and accusing

:20:40. > :20:45.of grandstanding, we know that the advert was promoted by the great

:20:46. > :20:47.American Alliance. This was broadcast online, on cable

:20:48. > :20:54.television, during the Senate hearing. As head of the FBI, James

:20:55. > :21:01.Comey the politics of protecting America. Banning terms such as

:21:02. > :21:08.radical Islam, allowing the dangerous practice to continue when

:21:09. > :21:12.terrorism attacks were on the rise, after he testified before the US

:21:13. > :21:18.Senate, James Comey's own staff admitted some of his answers were

:21:19. > :21:24.flat out wrong. James Comey, another DC insider in for it by himself.

:21:25. > :21:30.Certainly, some Republicans appeared pleased with how things went. Donald

:21:31. > :21:45.Trump but not tweet, but his son did. Frequently. He said...

:21:46. > :22:09.And also, Paul Ryan, with this comment. The president is new with

:22:10. > :22:13.this. He is new to government. Establishing the relationship,

:22:14. > :22:26.between the FBI, White House, he is new to this. No smoking gun. A

:22:27. > :22:30.moment that was like obstruction of justice, impeachable offences. It is

:22:31. > :22:37.not that the president looked good, but I do not think we have got legal

:22:38. > :22:43.issues. And in terms of this phrase about loyalty, the president already

:22:44. > :22:48.denying that. Anyway that we can solve this discrepancy? That is what

:22:49. > :22:55.this special counsel is for. Going to take the testimony under oath.

:22:56. > :22:58.Going to try to reconcile these. James Comey during testimony

:22:59. > :23:06.disputed several characterisations that the president had made, clearly

:23:07. > :23:12.a he said, he said going on. It is unclear exactly what the thought is.

:23:13. > :23:18.At the end of the day, most of this is political. Rather than on the

:23:19. > :23:23.legal side. Even when James Comey seemed to admit that he accepted

:23:24. > :23:28.what Donald Trump said about Michael Vorm, that investigation, that he

:23:29. > :23:33.hoped he would drop that, he said it was an instruction, but the idle

:23:34. > :23:37.decided to disregard that, being subordinate or was not really an

:23:38. > :23:42.instruction. Not really meaning it. Also a key point. That is good to

:23:43. > :23:47.have to come out during the investigation. We can talk about the

:23:48. > :23:52.politics. Has the testimony shifted anything, fundamentally? I do not

:23:53. > :23:56.think it has shifted anything. If you were a supporter of Donald

:23:57. > :24:00.Trump, going out you are still going to be a supporter. If you were a

:24:01. > :24:06.detractor, you are going to be on side. That some interesting

:24:07. > :24:12.information that we were. Not much, but the deeper involvement in the

:24:13. > :24:17.Hillary Clinton email investigation. Not looking good. James Comey

:24:18. > :24:21.himself orchestrating the leak of his memo, prompting the appointment

:24:22. > :24:26.of the special counsel. That is something new. Showing at James

:24:27. > :24:33.Comey knew exactly what he was doing. And that bit about James

:24:34. > :24:40.Comey understanding Donald Trump's language about Flynn, to be some

:24:41. > :24:46.sort of pressure, instruction. I am not exactly sure what. That is a key

:24:47. > :24:50.political point. Was told, trying to get the FBI to back off that

:24:51. > :24:55.investigation, or more continuing to vouch for Flynn, enforcement

:24:56. > :25:03.priorities should be elsewhere? You say that leak proves Comey as a

:25:04. > :25:07.politcal operator, he could see he was just protecting his reputation

:25:08. > :25:13.because he was worried the president could lie about the meeting? It is

:25:14. > :25:19.not his job as FBI director to protect his own reputation, if it

:25:20. > :25:23.comes to the point when he cannot execute an order because it is an

:25:24. > :25:28.ethical, legal, it is his job to resign, blow the whistle. If he

:25:29. > :25:36.thought it was more prudent to stay on the job, leading to the media

:25:37. > :25:43.probably is not the way to go. He should probably talk to the Attorney

:25:44. > :25:47.General. That is from us, or Outside Source. If you are watching in North

:25:48. > :25:51.America, Europe and to get much more on James Comey, but then the United

:25:52. > :26:01.Kingdom, or else we are, we are handing over to David Dimbleby.

:26:02. > :26:04.Polls are minutes from closing in the general election. About to find

:26:05. > :26:05.out the results of the exit
