I am Ross Aitken is what Outside Source. Part of Donald Trump's | :00:12. | :00:17. | |
travel ban will come into force. The Supreme Court has ruled that a 90 | :00:18. | :00:22. | |
day ban on people travelling from six Muslim majority countries can | :00:23. | :00:25. | |
apply in some circumstances. We will explain what they are in a moment. | :00:26. | :00:30. | |
More details in the UK's plans for EU citizens after Brexit. I want to | :00:31. | :00:35. | |
completely reassure people that under these plans now EU citizen | :00:36. | :00:39. | |
currently in the UK lawfully will be asked to leave at the point the UK | :00:40. | :00:46. | |
we see you. We want you to stay. The Conservative Party has cut a deal | :00:47. | :00:50. | |
with Northern Ireland's Democratic Unionist Party, that means Theresa | :00:51. | :00:53. | |
May will have the votes to get laws through Parliament as long as all of | :00:54. | :00:59. | |
the MPs stay in line. And Donald Trump welcomes the Indian | :01:00. | :01:03. | |
Prime Minister to the White House, we will take you through what is on | :01:04. | :01:07. | |
the agenda and as usual if you're watching if you have issues you want | :01:08. | :01:11. | |
me to pick up on any of the stories we are covering, ABC OS is to reach | :01:12. | :01:17. | |
us. -- BBC or S is how to retailers. | :01:18. | :01:31. | |
Let's begin with a major political story here in the UK. Theresa May | :01:32. | :01:40. | |
has a deal in place to help her government get a Parliamentary | :01:41. | :01:45. | |
majority. He's it is being signed by the Prime Minister's Conservative | :01:46. | :01:48. | |
Party along with the Democratic changes party for Northern Ireland. | :01:49. | :01:53. | |
This is not a coalition, the DUP is not in government in that way. It | :01:54. | :01:56. | |
has agreed to support the government on key votes in parliament such as | :01:57. | :02:00. | |
those on the national budget and multiple times on Brexit. Needless | :02:01. | :02:05. | |
to say the DUP will be getting plenty in return, you can read the | :02:06. | :02:11. | |
entire agreement online. It has been posted by the government but the | :02:12. | :02:14. | |
headline figure getting the attention is that Northern Ireland | :02:15. | :02:18. | |
will get around ?1 billion in extra funding over the next two years. | :02:19. | :02:27. | |
That is. $1.3 billion. That has had a mixed response. The other devolved | :02:28. | :02:32. | |
nations are not impress -- impressed. Use the Welsh First | :02:33. | :02:36. | |
Minister saying that they still represent a straight bunk to keep | :02:37. | :02:40. | |
the week Prime Minister and a faltering government in office. | :02:41. | :02:44. | |
Nicola Sturgeon said any sense of fairness sacrificed on the altar of | :02:45. | :02:48. | |
Gobain EU P deal to let the PM cling to power and Scots Tories influence | :02:49. | :02:55. | |
in number ten shown to be zero. It is there to say the government would | :02:56. | :02:59. | |
have predicted that this criticism would have come its way, I haven't | :03:00. | :03:06. | |
talking to Eleanor Guiney. BR insisting that they can afford to | :03:07. | :03:08. | |
make this deal because they are investing elsewhere, for example in | :03:09. | :03:13. | |
the NHS but the criticism has been strong from some politicians, in | :03:14. | :03:17. | |
other areas of the letters came in, for example the leader of the Welsh | :03:18. | :03:21. | |
assembly calling this cash for votes saying it was a bunker and it wasn't | :03:22. | :03:28. | |
fair, and bitterly the DUP have the Conservatives over a barrel and they | :03:29. | :03:31. | |
will come back a couple of years' time asking for more money. In | :03:32. | :03:36. | |
Scotland politicians saying we don't mind investment and extra cash for | :03:37. | :03:40. | |
Northern Ireland, but we need to get some, too, as they get extra money | :03:41. | :03:44. | |
we want some, too. Where has the money come from? Well the | :03:45. | :03:50. | |
Conservatives were determined to get the deal done so they have promised | :03:51. | :03:56. | |
an extra ?1 billion for not the DUP to spend specifically but for the | :03:57. | :04:00. | |
Northern Ireland executive to spend and I think the Conservatives were | :04:01. | :04:03. | |
pretty keen to make that clear. This money will be spent on | :04:04. | :04:07. | |
infrastructure, education projects, things like that but also there has | :04:08. | :04:13. | |
been some extra flexibility given to ?500 million of money that was | :04:14. | :04:17. | |
already pledged to Northern Ireland. Yes this money has been promised but | :04:18. | :04:23. | |
it has some criticism, clearly it is a price Conservatives were willing | :04:24. | :04:26. | |
to pay because they desperately needed this deal in order to be able | :04:27. | :04:31. | |
to govern. That is one important element today, here is another | :04:32. | :04:36. | |
because the government has released this document in which it gives us a | :04:37. | :04:41. | |
lot of detail on how the UK proposes for EU citizens to live in the UK | :04:42. | :04:46. | |
once Brexit has happened. Remember on Thursday outside source was live | :04:47. | :04:50. | |
from the EU in Brussels before we read an heard the news cube out that | :04:51. | :04:54. | |
Theresa May had leased the basics of this proposal. This is her giving is | :04:55. | :05:02. | |
much detail on it. There has been some anxiety about what would happen | :05:03. | :05:04. | |
to EU citizens at the point we leave the EU. Today I want to put that | :05:05. | :05:13. | |
anxiety to rest. I want to completely be assure people that | :05:14. | :05:17. | |
under these plans now EU citizen currently in the UK lawfully would | :05:18. | :05:20. | |
be asked to leave at the point the UK leave the EU. We want you to | :05:21. | :05:27. | |
stay. Jeremy Corbyn from the Labour Party. The Prime Minister has | :05:28. | :05:32. | |
dragged the issue of citizens and families deeply into the complex and | :05:33. | :05:35. | |
delicate negotiations of our future trade relations with the EU. She | :05:36. | :05:42. | |
herself has been willing to say this may result in failure. This is not a | :05:43. | :05:48. | |
generous offer. This is confirmation the government is prepared to use | :05:49. | :05:54. | |
people as bargaining chips. We already have some details of this, | :05:55. | :05:58. | |
Theresa May on Thursday told EU leaders that if anyone from the EU | :05:59. | :06:02. | |
had been in the UK for five years they would get settled status, and | :06:03. | :06:07. | |
that those who have been in the UK for two years would be able to apply | :06:08. | :06:11. | |
for that status but the would not be any guarantees. We wanted to the | :06:12. | :06:16. | |
difference between what we were told of 30 and what we have been told | :06:17. | :06:21. | |
today, he was Eleanor. There are still some questions that remain | :06:22. | :06:24. | |
unanswered and that is because some of the issues associated with these | :06:25. | :06:28. | |
reciprocal rights are going to have to be sorted out in the negotiations | :06:29. | :06:32. | |
between the UK Government and those in Brussels but we do know from what | :06:33. | :06:35. | |
the Prime Minister said in the Commons today that EU citizens who | :06:36. | :06:39. | |
have been living here in the UK lawfully for at least five years, | :06:40. | :06:43. | |
they will get this settled status and they will also be able to bring | :06:44. | :06:47. | |
over their children and spouses as well. They will be able to work, | :06:48. | :06:53. | |
live and also have access to certain benefits like health care and | :06:54. | :06:57. | |
pensions, so quite similar rights the government is claiming to what | :06:58. | :07:01. | |
British citizens get. But there is already a row brewing over who's | :07:02. | :07:04. | |
going to apply the rules for this new system. Will it be British laws | :07:05. | :07:10. | |
as the government here once? Will it be judges in the European Court of | :07:11. | :07:14. | |
Justice? Or perhaps could it be a combination of the two? Some sort of | :07:15. | :07:21. | |
international jurisdiction. The -- it is interesting how cool the | :07:22. | :07:24. | |
reaction was in the EU. Now we have the lead negotiator on Brexit for | :07:25. | :07:29. | |
the EU tweeting today, the EU goal of citizens rights, same level | :07:30. | :07:32. | |
protection as an EU law, one ambition clarity and guarantees | :07:33. | :07:36. | |
needed than in today's UK position. This is not a done deal at all. That | :07:37. | :07:41. | |
right, there was a pretty lukewarm response last week when Theresa May | :07:42. | :07:46. | |
was in Brussels setting out the broad outline, then we have had this | :07:47. | :07:49. | |
treat today which shows I think that things have not gone down quite that | :07:50. | :07:55. | |
much better, the -- the European Parliament will vote on this final | :07:56. | :08:00. | |
deal and it's Brexit coordinator said today that the document | :08:01. | :08:04. | |
contained limitations that were worrisome and he thinks EU citizens | :08:05. | :08:08. | |
staying in the UK should have a state is above that of immigrants | :08:09. | :08:14. | |
from non-European countries. Alan Watson as in Yorkshire asking other | :08:15. | :08:18. | |
any circumstances and which this money in the DUP Conservative deal | :08:19. | :08:23. | |
go straight to the DUP? Far as I can see that no circumstances under | :08:24. | :08:27. | |
which happens. The government and Conservative Party are saying the | :08:28. | :08:31. | |
money will go to the executive in Northern Ireland, and be spent on | :08:32. | :08:34. | |
Northern Ireland as a whole, it will not in any point be funnelled | :08:35. | :08:39. | |
through any one party. We will learn about the practicalities as a deal | :08:40. | :08:44. | |
plays out. And to a big announcement in the US because part of Donald | :08:45. | :08:49. | |
Trump's travel ban will now take effect, this is because of an | :08:50. | :08:52. | |
intervention by the US Supreme Court, they have also confirmed it | :08:53. | :08:57. | |
will rule on the band's overall legality in October. He made a | :08:58. | :09:02. | |
member when the ban was announced that was a 90 day ban from people | :09:03. | :09:08. | |
coming from six Muslim countries, and on top of that there was a | :09:09. | :09:15. | |
proposed 120 day ban on refugee applications. The Supreme Court | :09:16. | :09:19. | |
today has said that foreign nationals with a relationship | :09:20. | :09:24. | |
through personal identity in the US can come in, but if you do not have | :09:25. | :09:28. | |
a connection to the US you will not be coming in as goal of the | :09:29. | :09:31. | |
lightest, he is saying that the unanimous decision is a clear | :09:32. | :09:36. | |
victory for national security. That is ruling allows me an important | :09:37. | :09:39. | |
tool for protecting our nation 's homeland. Let's find out exactly | :09:40. | :09:46. | |
what this means. On the refugee issue, as the Supreme Court | :09:47. | :09:54. | |
supported that 120 bad? The Supreme Court talked about the refugee issue | :09:55. | :10:00. | |
as well and the details of this lifting of the stay on the ban | :10:01. | :10:03. | |
applied to the refugee issue as well so refugees who are coming into the | :10:04. | :10:10. | |
United States who have existing relatives in the US or have jobs | :10:11. | :10:14. | |
lined up coming in with some sort of student die, as coming in with those | :10:15. | :10:18. | |
connections they can come in but otherwise the Supreme Court said | :10:19. | :10:21. | |
that Donald Trump can suspend the refugee programme for that set | :10:22. | :10:26. | |
period of time. The also endorsed the Trump administration loading the | :10:27. | :10:31. | |
total cap on refugees coming into the US down to a 50,000 refugees | :10:32. | :10:36. | |
although they said the cap could be exceeded if the number includes | :10:37. | :10:41. | |
refugees who have these won a fight, the template, ties the United | :10:42. | :10:48. | |
States. Along this battle has gone on the more politically valuable | :10:49. | :10:53. | |
outcome became. Absolutely, this had been pointed to since the beginning | :10:54. | :10:58. | |
of Donald Trump's presidency as a key political battle. Donald Trump | :10:59. | :11:02. | |
was criticised for what was seen as someone -- for a ham-handed roll-out | :11:03. | :11:08. | |
of his immigration policy, there was chaos in the airport if you remember | :11:09. | :11:11. | |
because the immigration officials did not quite know how to implement | :11:12. | :11:16. | |
the details of this policy. He second immigration travel ban as he | :11:17. | :11:20. | |
template was somewhat more ordered in a trivial but it got suspended by | :11:21. | :11:27. | |
the court fairly quickly. Now the man security department say they | :11:28. | :11:32. | |
will be the ban in a professional manner, and they will try to inform | :11:33. | :11:37. | |
airlines and the immigration officials on how to do it in a | :11:38. | :11:41. | |
prompt and professional manner. In the odd situation where it is likely | :11:42. | :11:47. | |
to come in, will pass through in 90 days and then the Supreme Court will | :11:48. | :11:51. | |
decide if it was legal all along? Exactly, and the court justice has | :11:52. | :11:56. | |
made a specific provision in this order they have released saying that | :11:57. | :12:00. | |
they want to consider whether the whole challenge was moot and I | :12:01. | :12:04. | |
assume that is because the 90 day rule would have expired so they | :12:05. | :12:08. | |
could take a look at this, the lawyers could make arguments and | :12:09. | :12:12. | |
they could decide that the Trump administration has had plenty of | :12:13. | :12:15. | |
time to permit changes in immigration law so the original | :12:16. | :12:18. | |
order should have expired and then you might get a brand-new legal | :12:19. | :12:20. | |
battle on whatever the Trump administration comes up with in the | :12:21. | :12:25. | |
meantime. The court said they should go ahead with the executive review | :12:26. | :12:29. | |
and implement the policies would have decided on them. Thank you. We | :12:30. | :12:34. | |
have wired reports now from Washington and Westminster, we are | :12:35. | :12:38. | |
going to turn in the next few minutes to Mosul the of Iraq. Senior | :12:39. | :12:45. | |
commanders have been telling BBC News that the fight for the city is | :12:46. | :12:47. | |
entering its final stages. Nationwide safety checks are being | :12:48. | :13:01. | |
undertaken on high-rise buildings after the Grenfell Tower fire. The | :13:02. | :13:06. | |
government has said all samples of cladding received from the high-rise | :13:07. | :13:10. | |
buildings and 26 local authority areas have failed fire safety tests. | :13:11. | :13:14. | |
In an update to MPs following the fire this is sided Janet with more | :13:15. | :13:23. | |
details. The cladding from 75 high-rise buildings and 26 local | :13:24. | :13:26. | |
authorities has filled the combustibility test. I know members | :13:27. | :13:31. | |
will rightly want to know if the residents are affected and my | :13:32. | :13:34. | |
department will publish regular updates on the government website. | :13:35. | :13:41. | |
The fact that all samples have so far failed underlines the value of | :13:42. | :13:44. | |
the testing programme and the vital importance of submitting samples | :13:45. | :13:49. | |
urgently. I am concerned about the speed at which samples are being | :13:50. | :13:54. | |
submitted. I would urge all landlords to submit the samples | :13:55. | :14:07. | |
immediately. On Thursday we were live from | :14:08. | :14:11. | |
Brussels but today we are back in our usual spot. Our lead story is | :14:12. | :14:15. | |
that Donald Trump is hailing the Supreme Court decision to implement | :14:16. | :14:19. | |
part of his travel ban, he says it is a victory for national security. | :14:20. | :14:23. | |
To pick up some of the main stories from the World Service, in China | :14:24. | :14:27. | |
more than 90 people are still missing after a landslide at the | :14:28. | :14:31. | |
weekend in the Sichuan province. At least ten bodies have been recovered | :14:32. | :14:35. | |
but rescuers do not expect to find anyone else alive. BBC Burmese | :14:36. | :14:40. | |
report that police in me and Mark and Thailand have found more than | :14:41. | :14:44. | |
$800 million worth of illegal drugs. It was burnished to tie in with the | :14:45. | :14:51. | |
UN's the against drug abuse. The Court of Madrid has ordered that the | :14:52. | :14:54. | |
body of Salvador Dali be exchanged to get the any samples for a | :14:55. | :15:00. | |
paternity suit, a Spanish woman claims that she is his daughter and | :15:01. | :15:02. | |
that her mother had an affair with him. Let's go back to Washington | :15:03. | :15:09. | |
because the Indian Prime Minister has arrived at the White House to | :15:10. | :15:12. | |
meet Donald Trump in the past few minutes. Here's the moment the two | :15:13. | :15:18. | |
men met. You can see Mullaly at camp getting ready to beat the Indian | :15:19. | :15:22. | |
Prime Minister as well. Some would say that you have any as they both | :15:23. | :15:29. | |
portray themselves as outsiders, outside of the political elite, both | :15:30. | :15:32. | |
campaigns to bring jobs back into the economy, both have huge | :15:33. | :15:37. | |
followings on social media, too, with over 30 million followers each. | :15:38. | :15:42. | |
This is what Donald Trump said a few months ago. It is a great honour to | :15:43. | :15:49. | |
have a Minister Modi, who has been such a great Prime Minister. I had | :15:50. | :15:52. | |
been speaking with him and reading about you and you have done a great | :15:53. | :15:58. | |
job. Economically. India is doing very well. I would like to | :15:59. | :16:05. | |
congratulate you. I would like to congratulate you very much. Let's | :16:06. | :16:12. | |
bring in our correspondent from BBC Hindi who is live from Washington. | :16:13. | :16:16. | |
In the Indian Prime Minister looked very relaxed as he got out of the | :16:17. | :16:22. | |
car. He was received very warmly by the President and first Lady and | :16:23. | :16:25. | |
that would have gone down as a good start for the Indian officials, and | :16:26. | :16:32. | |
also the kind of praise that the two leaders lavished on each other seems | :16:33. | :16:37. | |
to be fine. What I did sense was it was a very formal sort of meeting | :16:38. | :16:42. | |
compare to the great Prime Minister Modi and President Obama used to | :16:43. | :16:46. | |
meet, it had taken a while but they were on first terror -- first name | :16:47. | :16:50. | |
terms and the way a Minister Modi was addressing President Trump, it | :16:51. | :16:55. | |
is difficult to translate what he said in Hindi to English but it was | :16:56. | :17:02. | |
almost very close to honourable president, but again so far so good. | :17:03. | :17:07. | |
Donald Trump mentioned the Indian economy because Mr Trump has been | :17:08. | :17:11. | |
critical of free trade, has been protectionist in his approach to | :17:12. | :17:16. | |
American jobs and American industry, does that pose a threat to the | :17:17. | :17:21. | |
Indian economy? That has been a concern for the Indian economy and | :17:22. | :17:25. | |
particularly President Trump has been talking about the trade | :17:26. | :17:29. | |
surplus, with several other countries and that includes India. | :17:30. | :17:35. | |
Prime Minister Modi, one of his challenges is to ensure President -- | :17:36. | :17:41. | |
to assure President Trump that India is a partner, Andy Nicol needled for | :17:42. | :17:46. | |
the Wall Street Journal today there were hints of how the two countries | :17:47. | :17:50. | |
can work together increasing jobs and he gave examples of how India is | :17:51. | :17:59. | |
importing $40 billion worth of gas and this is for its energy needs and | :18:00. | :18:05. | |
the defence still being signed, the state Department issued a statement | :18:06. | :18:09. | |
that a helicopter deal was worth more than $300 million and had just | :18:10. | :18:12. | |
been signed. These are the things that would go down well as far as | :18:13. | :18:16. | |
president Trump is concerned and he also mentioned that Indian companies | :18:17. | :18:22. | |
are investing big time, in at least 35 states in the US so one has to | :18:23. | :18:28. | |
see how that plays in the Trump White House. What are they up to | :18:29. | :18:35. | |
through the day? After about an hour or so the issued a joint statement | :18:36. | :18:41. | |
for the reporters and then there is a working dinner at around six | :18:42. | :18:45. | |
o'clock local time at the White House, which the White House | :18:46. | :18:48. | |
officials say is a special thing that in fact the first official | :18:49. | :18:53. | |
dinner that has been thrown for a visiting foreign dignitary and even | :18:54. | :19:02. | |
the Indians have really appreciated that and then Prime Minister Outside | :19:03. | :19:04. | |
Source leaves for the Netherlands this evening. We appreciate the | :19:05. | :19:10. | |
update, thank you. Often broadcasting from here in London I | :19:11. | :19:12. | |
talk about the advantages of being so close to my colleagues from BBC | :19:13. | :19:16. | |
World Service, those advantages extend around the world because | :19:17. | :19:19. | |
along with Anthony and other colleagues in the Washington | :19:20. | :19:22. | |
newsroom there are lots of representatives from the BBC World | :19:23. | :19:28. | |
Service like Rajesh from BBC Hindi. Talking about yesterday matter mash, | :19:29. | :19:31. | |
reported reaction to a study that has been going for a couple of days | :19:32. | :19:35. | |
now. The demand that Saudi Arabia and its allies are making of Qatar, | :19:36. | :19:41. | |
you may well have saw them, strong demand, the US Secretary of State | :19:42. | :19:44. | |
Rex Tillotson says some of these demands will be difficult to meet. | :19:45. | :19:48. | |
That is not putting it mildly. There are 13 of them in total and they | :19:49. | :19:51. | |
include entirely closing the Al Jazeera TV network, funded by Qatar, | :19:52. | :19:58. | |
and Saudi Arabia and others want a Turkish military base in Doha to be | :19:59. | :20:02. | |
close, talking of Qatar are very close and that is a huge ask. And | :20:03. | :20:06. | |
they want relations between Qatar and Iran to be cooled. When you | :20:07. | :20:10. | |
better mind that Iran and Qatar share huge natural resources that | :20:11. | :20:15. | |
also would be very difficult and all love that comes off the back of | :20:16. | :20:18. | |
diplomatic ties been cut with Qatar are a number of Gulf countries. They | :20:19. | :20:24. | |
claim Qatar is funding terrorism, Qatar says that is not true. Earlier | :20:25. | :20:31. | |
I spoke to a correspondent to get help in working out what the | :20:32. | :20:37. | |
American position is. There is a difference in approach between the | :20:38. | :20:41. | |
White House and the State Department, you had President Trump | :20:42. | :20:43. | |
coming down firmly on the side of the Saudis and the welfare of allies | :20:44. | :20:50. | |
against Qatar, seeing this as a way to fade against financing to | :20:51. | :20:56. | |
terrorism and this would be a way to fight terrorism effectively and then | :20:57. | :20:59. | |
you have the State Department would have tried to take a much more | :21:00. | :21:03. | |
neutral nuanced position and the Secretary of State has been | :21:04. | :21:08. | |
involved, not in a formal mediation but certainly a lot of contacts with | :21:09. | :21:11. | |
the Gulf Arab states on both sides trying to get this resolution, this | :21:12. | :21:16. | |
crisis resolved and you had some quite strongly worded statements | :21:17. | :21:20. | |
from him last week saying to the Saudis and allies, come up with your | :21:21. | :21:24. | |
demands, why are you waiting around? We are beginning to think it is not | :21:25. | :21:28. | |
about terrorism, it is about a long-standing political disputes | :21:29. | :21:32. | |
that you're trying to air, and whether the mad committee said some | :21:33. | :21:36. | |
of those look quite difficult for Qatar to meet but at the same time | :21:37. | :21:41. | |
there is some basis for you to start talking in June and the dialogue and | :21:42. | :21:47. | |
a complete inclusion here. So it is something that the State Department | :21:48. | :21:50. | |
wishes was resolved and is trying to press the different parties to do | :21:51. | :21:54. | |
so, you have the Qatari Foreign Minister in town and he will be | :21:55. | :21:58. | |
meeting with Secretary Tillotson tomorrow. But at the moment the | :21:59. | :22:00. | |
State Department is not really putting forward a formal mediation, | :22:01. | :22:05. | |
they are not organising a joint meeting of the parties to try to | :22:06. | :22:09. | |
bang some heads together. They're seeing you guys need to do this but | :22:10. | :22:13. | |
we are monitoring it closely. There is another thing I would like to run | :22:14. | :22:18. | |
value, copied from the Reuters news agency, saying the US chairman of | :22:19. | :22:21. | |
the Senate foreign affairs related midi said he would withhold consent | :22:22. | :22:25. | |
for US arms sales to members of the Gulf cooperation Council until the | :22:26. | :22:29. | |
path forward to resolving the discipline -- the dispute in the | :22:30. | :22:32. | |
region. If that were to happen that would hurt some of those countries | :22:33. | :22:37. | |
you are trying to pressure Qatar. -- who are trying to pressure Qatar. It | :22:38. | :22:42. | |
would also act Qatar because he did not say which Gulf countries they | :22:43. | :22:45. | |
would withhold weapons from. It is interesting the way you are seeing | :22:46. | :22:50. | |
Congress a more activist under this administration, taking stands and | :22:51. | :22:54. | |
pressing issues if they feel the White House is straying from | :22:55. | :22:56. | |
traditional foreign policy or if they feel the State Department is | :22:57. | :23:00. | |
being ineffectual. In this case Mr Corcoran said he strongly supported | :23:01. | :23:04. | |
resident on's reserves to Saudi Arabia in which there been a | :23:05. | :23:10. | |
unifying statement about fighting terrorism, but now we hear there was | :23:11. | :23:13. | |
a dispute and things were not happening as they should and until | :23:14. | :23:16. | |
the dead then Congress would withhold consent on the weapons | :23:17. | :23:21. | |
sales which is quite a strong tool of leverage that they have and it | :23:22. | :23:24. | |
would be something that people in the region would take notice of. | :23:25. | :23:30. | |
Let's talk about Jakarta, and Japanese company that is behind the | :23:31. | :23:35. | |
biggest recall in the car industry's yesterday. It has filed for | :23:36. | :23:39. | |
bankruptcy and that is because it is facing billions of dollars in | :23:40. | :23:43. | |
liabilities because of defective airbags. These airbags have been | :23:44. | :23:47. | |
linked to at least 17 deaths worldwide. Let's bring in a | :23:48. | :23:51. | |
correspondent from Europe. My first thought when I was reading about the | :23:52. | :23:56. | |
story was to those people making claims because of injuries or death | :23:57. | :23:59. | |
relating to these airbags, do they now lose the chance of getting any | :24:00. | :24:06. | |
money? Elmer that is definitely not the case, what is happening as the | :24:07. | :24:10. | |
Company has set aside $850 million. This is all part of an agreement | :24:11. | :24:16. | |
with the US Department of Justice. The problem was that the sum was not | :24:17. | :24:24. | |
good to cover the scale of this event, of this recall, and that was | :24:25. | :24:31. | |
part of what was the issue. In going forward with this bankruptcy process | :24:32. | :24:37. | |
and it is a process involving court in Delaware in the US and also in | :24:38. | :24:42. | |
Japan, they are selling some of the assets to an American firm that is | :24:43. | :24:47. | |
Chinese owned but the rest of the assets relating to these airbags | :24:48. | :24:52. | |
they will continue to make those so that they can issue replacements | :24:53. | :24:56. | |
forecasters are still on the road and still affected. To be clear for | :24:57. | :25:02. | |
those watching, the airbags have been a lot of different | :25:03. | :25:09. | |
manufacturers cars? Yes, you're talking multiple car companies, not | :25:10. | :25:12. | |
just one manufacturer, so the likes of Honda amongst others who have | :25:13. | :25:16. | |
been affected by this and that is why they have very little support, | :25:17. | :25:23. | |
if you like, or allies, feeling much synergy for them, BMW and Toyota, | :25:24. | :25:26. | |
they have all been involved in the three calls and it has been a huge | :25:27. | :25:33. | |
black eye, really, for Japan's an industry, once they were wanted for | :25:34. | :25:37. | |
the technical agility and now of course that has all come under | :25:38. | :25:40. | |
question and you're seeing as I mentioned this US rival key safety | :25:41. | :25:47. | |
systems buying them up. The Chinese owned American company now buying a | :25:48. | :25:50. | |
gaining a foothold in the Japanese car industry. Thank you. | :25:51. | :25:57. | |
That ends this first half of outside source, I'll be back with you in a | :25:58. | :25:59. | |
couple of minutes time. Welcome along to the latest update | :26:00. | :26:14. | |
