I'm Ros Atkins, welcome back to Outside Source. A huge cyber attack

:00:13.:00:21.

is happening in various sites in the world. It started in Ukraine but has

:00:22.:00:25.

moved beyond its borders. The US says it believes the Syrian

:00:26.:00:30.

president may be planning and other chemical attack and has issued a

:00:31.:00:36.

strong warning. Fifa has released a confidential report into alleged

:00:37.:00:39.

corruption into the process to choose the host of the 2018 and 2022

:00:40.:00:52.

World Cups. Donald Trump's reputation overseas may not be what

:00:53.:00:53.

he had hoped for. Now, let me start this half of

:00:54.:01:15.

Outside Source by showing you this. It is a statement released by the

:01:16.:01:18.

White House on Syria. In this statement, you will find the White

:01:19.:01:21.

House saying that Bashar al-Assad is, if he conducts another chemical

:01:22.:01:29.

weapons attack he and his military will pay a heavy price. The use of

:01:30.:01:33.

the word another is significant, that is a reference to a chemical

:01:34.:01:38.

attack which took place in April in Syria. Over 80 people lost their

:01:39.:01:43.

lives in an attack in a town called Khan Sheikhoun. The US blamed Syria,

:01:44.:01:47.

the Syrian government denied it. The reason for the new US date admit is

:01:48.:01:51.

that the Americans believe that the airbase used in the April attack,

:01:52.:01:59.

there is activity there that looks similar to what they saw in April.

:02:00.:02:04.

Our Washington correspondent Jayne Bryant has been talking about this

:02:05.:02:07.

airbase in particular -- Jayne Bryant. The Americans bombed this

:02:08.:02:12.

airbase after the attack in April, is it still usable? This was one of

:02:13.:02:17.

the criticisms of their Retallick retreat action in April, bombing and

:02:18.:02:22.

airport doesn't do much good, you just have to resurface it and planes

:02:23.:02:26.

can fly again. There may be some truth to that, that we are now

:02:27.:02:31.

seeing. It is certainly extraordinary that the US would

:02:32.:02:36.

issue such a public warning. These warnings often take place behind

:02:37.:02:39.

closed was all through back channels. To make such a public

:02:40.:02:44.

warning put Syria on notice, if it does do something like this again,

:02:45.:02:48.

action will follow. Also it is putting Iran and Russia on notice.

:02:49.:02:53.

Without Russian support in particular, Syria would not be where

:02:54.:02:58.

it is right now. It also seemed for an hour or two to be putting the

:02:59.:03:02.

Pentagon on notice. There are numerous reports saying the Pentagon

:03:03.:03:06.

was catching up on this when the White House but this statement out

:03:07.:03:09.

up to the White House very quickly but after other statement saying

:03:10.:03:13.

that all of those anonymous sources saying they hadn't conferred with

:03:14.:03:17.

the relevant agencies were not true. The White House expected the State

:03:18.:03:21.

Department, the Pentagon, the CIA and the office of the director of

:03:22.:03:26.

international intelligence, all of the relevant organisations knew what

:03:27.:03:30.

the White House was up to. Nevertheless, it is still a

:03:31.:03:33.

remarkable statement being made so publicly, as it was by the White

:03:34.:03:37.

House. A follow-up statement from the Pentagon and also from the US

:03:38.:03:41.

ambassador to the UN, Nikki Haley, who also made her own remarks. Nikki

:03:42.:03:46.

Haley is the US ambassador to the UN. Here she is on Twitter saying...

:03:47.:03:56.

The Russians, for their part, say they consider such threats from the

:03:57.:04:04.

Americans to the legitimate leadership of the Syrian Arab

:04:05.:04:09.

Republic unacceptable. So far, so predictable. The Russians on the

:04:10.:04:14.

Americans always disagree on the Bashar al-Assad regime. But there is

:04:15.:04:17.

something greater going on here related to the pressure on the

:04:18.:04:21.

so-called Islamic State group. Let's get the analysis of our defence and

:04:22.:04:25.

diplomatic respondent Jonathan Marcus. I think it is. This is if

:04:26.:04:30.

you like the next war, the next major battle that is coming. You

:04:31.:04:34.

have two was going on at the moment in Syria, many sub conflicts, but

:04:35.:04:40.

two broad struggles. One between the US and its allies and so-called

:04:41.:04:49.

Islamic State. The other between the Syrian government and its allies,

:04:50.:04:51.

Russia and Iran, against a whole variety of other groups and many of

:04:52.:04:54.

the Syrian people. What is happening in eastern Syria at the moment is

:04:55.:04:57.

that as IS is on the back foot as forces close in on Raqqa, the de

:04:58.:05:01.

facto capital of IS, there is every sign that it will fall eventually

:05:02.:05:05.

although we don't know when, the question is, who will control that

:05:06.:05:09.

oratory wants IS is in that sense defeated? The battle is already on.

:05:10.:05:15.

The Americans would like the so-called Syrian Democratic forces,

:05:16.:05:17.

their allies, to control that directory. The Syrian government is

:05:18.:05:22.

pushing a number of axes eastwards. They would like to control it. And

:05:23.:05:27.

the Iranians are a key element in the mix here, because Iran would

:05:28.:05:31.

like to control a swathe of territory straddling the Syrian -

:05:32.:05:35.

Iraqi border, which some people say would effectively give Iraq a land

:05:36.:05:41.

bridge all the way from Teheran to the Mediterranean -- would

:05:42.:05:44.

eventually give Iran. You could literally build a road from Tehran

:05:45.:05:50.

to the Mediterranean Sea. That is a huge strategic importance, something

:05:51.:05:52.

that many of the White House and Washington don't want to see. I

:05:53.:05:57.

think that is part of it. It may be, we don't know what the Americans

:05:58.:06:01.

have seen at this airbase, they may simply be trying, as they say, to

:06:02.:06:06.

thwart another Syrian chemical attack. But a subplot in all of

:06:07.:06:12.

this, and an important one, is this growing struggle with Iran or

:06:13.:06:16.

Iranian backed forces and US backed forces coming ever closer together.

:06:17.:06:19.

I guess with this statement, the White House is to some degree boxing

:06:20.:06:24.

itself in. If there were a chemical attack, which international bodies

:06:25.:06:27.

decided the Abbas regime were behind, the US would have to respond

:06:28.:06:34.

-- the Assad regime. One would assume the Syrians wouldn't be

:06:35.:06:39.

fullish enough to launch such an attack -- foolish enough. You made

:06:40.:06:45.

another point moment ago, the last attack by the Americans, although it

:06:46.:06:50.

sounds significant, some 59 cruise missiles were launched against this

:06:51.:06:54.

airbase, a cruise missile is essentially a single large bomb. It

:06:55.:07:00.

is a major in military terms. It did relatively limited damage. Clearly

:07:01.:07:05.

the base is still usable, if we are to believe, not so much in terms of

:07:06.:07:08.

taking out the runways, because they didn't try and do that, but usable

:07:09.:07:13.

in terms of having the facilities, the very special storage facilities,

:07:14.:07:19.

enabling you to store chemical weapons, load them onto when Epcor K

:07:20.:07:22.

carefully and so on. -- lived them onto an aircraft carefully. Win we

:07:23.:07:30.

are covering Syria, if you want background on the conflict there,

:07:31.:07:35.

you can find it via the BBC News website. Outside Source sport, Fifa

:07:36.:07:42.

have released a full copy of a report into alleged corruption

:07:43.:07:47.

relating to Qatar's successful 2022 World Cup bid. The thaw have had its

:07:48.:07:53.

hand forced. A German newspaper has released extracts from this report.

:07:54.:07:58.

The whole thing was done in 2014. The Foe only published a summary of

:07:59.:08:02.

this. Even that caused problems. The author's report, Michael Garcia,

:08:03.:08:08.

quit, because he's said the summary was erroneous or not really a

:08:09.:08:13.

summary. Sarah is live from the BBC sports centre. Saira, we have been

:08:14.:08:16.

waiting long enough to get this report. What is in it? Indeed, we

:08:17.:08:23.

have been waiting three years, as have Fifa's critics, for this full

:08:24.:08:29.

report. A40 DuPage summary back in 2014 of Michael Garcia's work into

:08:30.:08:34.

the bidding process or 2018 and 2022, the World Cups. And now we

:08:35.:08:40.

have a 422 pages released today by Fifa on the back of that leaking to

:08:41.:08:48.

the German newspaper. Basically it doesn't appear to be the smoking gun

:08:49.:08:53.

that some may have predicted. Michael Garcia, in his, you know,

:08:54.:08:57.

work with it, he was denied access to a lot of bank account statements,

:08:58.:09:02.

he had no Sabina Park, so there was a sense that whilst a lot of the

:09:03.:09:08.

stuff that came out cleared them -- subpoena power. It clear Russia in

:09:09.:09:11.

their bidding process, there may not be an awful lot more. That is what

:09:12.:09:15.

has kind of been proved today from this. Gianni Infantino said they

:09:16.:09:19.

always intended to release this document. But that Ethics Committee

:09:20.:09:26.

over the last year or so was said that there may be legal issues

:09:27.:09:32.

around that. It was due to come up at a meeting in the next month or

:09:33.:09:36.

so, and Gianni Infantino said he is happy today for the sake of

:09:37.:09:40.

transparency that they have been released. It doesn't appear to be

:09:41.:09:43.

the smoking gun that some Fifa critics thought it would be, but it

:09:44.:09:48.

high Rowett is the culture of greed that many had expected, -- it

:09:49.:09:53.

highlights the culture of greed. It raises the questions of the guitar

:09:54.:09:59.

Academy influencing votes. There are criticism of the English FA and the

:10:00.:10:04.

trading deal with Thailand. And also some criticism of Australia as well.

:10:05.:10:15.

Thank you, Sarah. Now, next to basketball, I want to talk about

:10:16.:10:19.

Russell Westbrook. He has been named the NBA's most valuable player for

:10:20.:10:23.

the season that has just finished. This was the moment that the award

:10:24.:10:28.

was announced. The 20 17th NBA most valuable player award is... -- the

:10:29.:10:34.

2017. Russell Westbrook! APPLAUSE

:10:35.:10:40.

Westbrook plays for Oklahoma City Thunder, they were a long way from

:10:41.:10:43.

being the best team this season but that didn't stop him putting

:10:44.:10:47.

together a very serious season, the best ever. Here he is. That's

:10:48.:10:53.

amazing. Something I can never imagine, man, I remember just

:10:54.:10:58.

growing up just being home, you know, playing the video games and

:10:59.:11:02.

stuff with my pops, my mum sitting there and my brother, just talking

:11:03.:11:05.

about maybe one day I could be the MP3. -- the MVP. Obviously I was

:11:06.:11:13.

joking at the time. But now that I'm standing here with this trophy next

:11:14.:11:19.

to me, it's a true blessing, man. And it's unbelievable. It's an

:11:20.:11:22.

unbelievable feeling, something I can never imagine. So I'm just very,

:11:23.:11:27.

very thankful and happy to be here. Richly deserved. This time yesterday

:11:28.:11:31.

we were talking about Jean's comments that Serena Williams would

:11:32.:11:35.

be ranked 700 in the world if she played on the men's tour. It was

:11:36.:11:43.

unclear what decent buoyed thought he was making. Serena has had plenty

:11:44.:11:46.

to say on this. She has taken to Twitter to say... She goes on to

:11:47.:11:49.

say... And that, I suspect, will be the end

:11:50.:12:03.

of the matter. I want to update you on a couple of sports stories we are

:12:04.:12:08.

getting newswires. The under 21 is men's European Championships.

:12:09.:12:12.

England have gone out in the semifinals. They lost on penalties

:12:13.:12:16.

against the Germans. In the Cricket World Cup, we are still in the group

:12:17.:12:20.

stage, the women's cricket World Cup. England beat Pakistan, a great

:12:21.:12:26.

victory. It was affected by the weather. The English took that game.

:12:27.:12:35.

Coverage on the BBC Sport app. In a few minutes Outside Source, we are

:12:36.:12:39.

going to look at new research on how people in the world view Donald

:12:40.:12:45.

Trump. 40,000 people in 37 countries have been quizzed. Not all of them

:12:46.:12:46.

were complimentary. Now, 50 years ago today, the very

:12:47.:13:01.

first cash machine spat out its first fivers. How have they changed

:13:02.:13:04.

in the last 50 years? Here's Simon Gopperth.

:13:05.:13:14.

The first money from a hole in the wall.

:13:15.:13:17.

You put in a voucher and a code and you got ten ?1 notes.

:13:18.:13:21.

Reg Varney, a TV celebrity of the time, had a go

:13:22.:13:23.

Less a cash machine than a mini bank.

:13:24.:13:29.

On these ones, you can even open a bank account.

:13:30.:13:31.

Signing your name, it will take my photo as well just

:13:32.:13:34.

You can see and talk to bank staff directly on the screen and take out

:13:35.:13:40.

We are light years ahead of 50 years ago.

:13:41.:13:53.

Is this the sort of banking we actually want?

:13:54.:13:56.

Doing banking on mobile phones and laptops,

:13:57.:13:58.

why do I need to do it at

:13:59.:14:00.

What you can do with a kiosk with a real

:14:01.:14:12.

What can you do to increase thinking at that

:14:13.:14:16.

By the time I get there it will be a Christening!

:14:17.:14:27.

It's a piece of real estate that changed our lives.

:14:28.:14:29.

You didn't have to worry about the banks being

:14:30.:14:31.

Now cash itself is under threat from contactless cards and

:14:32.:14:35.

The Bank of England's chief cashier, who signs our

:14:36.:14:43.

banknotes, agrees the cash machine has to do other things.

:14:44.:14:45.

Some people like the plain vanilla bits they can

:14:46.:14:48.

Other people will be looking for the Wiz bits.

:14:49.:14:51.

Some want to trade in shares on a cash machine.

:14:52.:14:53.

Some people will be striving for more to

:14:54.:14:56.

If you can have a one-stop shop, brilliant.

:14:57.:15:04.

ATMs of the future, smart ATMs as we are calling them, will provide 99%

:15:05.:15:11.

of all of the services we can get from bank branches today.

:15:12.:15:20.

That is not a world everyone will welcome but the technology

:15:21.:15:22.

unleashed back in the '60s is still transforming the way

:15:23.:15:25.

Hello, I'm Ros Atkins with Outside Source, live at the BBC newsroom.

:15:26.:15:41.

Ukraine is saying it has been hit by a huge cyber attack and countries

:15:42.:15:44.

across Europe and in India as well saying they affected too.

:15:45.:15:54.

Now, as we've discussed many times an Outside Source, Donald Trump's

:15:55.:16:01.

approval ratings are low in the US. Globally it doesn't seem that the

:16:02.:16:04.

picture is much better. A research centre has interviewed no less than

:16:05.:16:10.

40,000 people in 37 countries to find out what they thought of the

:16:11.:16:13.

new American President. Katty Kay is looking through the results. Donald

:16:14.:16:19.

Trump travels like an American President and has the power of an

:16:20.:16:22.

American President. What he doesn't seem to have is the world's respect.

:16:23.:16:28.

According to the nonpartisan research centre, only 22% of people

:16:29.:16:32.

survey did that seven countries have confidence that Mr Trump will do the

:16:33.:16:38.

right thing for the world. 64% felt the same about President Obama when

:16:39.:16:42.

he left office. It's not even close. Impaired to follow world leaders, Mr

:16:43.:16:47.

Trump comes last in terms of global confidence GoCompare. He falls

:16:48.:16:53.

behind Germany's Angela Merkel, Chinese President GE and even

:16:54.:16:58.

Vladimir Putin. But it is personal and part of it is policy. Let's

:16:59.:17:04.

start with the politics. Of three of his major initiatives, more than 70%

:17:05.:17:07.

of those survey disapproved. Those it include withdrawing from climate

:17:08.:17:12.

initiatives, trade deals and building that famous wall. Then

:17:13.:17:16.

there is the personal. Three quarters of those survey and found

:17:17.:17:22.

him arrogant. For them 60% think he is in tolerant, even dangerous. On

:17:23.:17:26.

the upside, more than half described him as a strong leader. And quite a

:17:27.:17:31.

few found him charismatic. But then there is the broader question. Do

:17:32.:17:36.

his American supporters care about a year of this? Perhaps it is exactly

:17:37.:17:40.

what America first is all about - not minding what the well-being is

:17:41.:17:43.

about you. For them, this poll could be a validation that President Trump

:17:44.:17:46.

is getting it exactly right. Let's bring in Rajini Vaidyanathan

:17:47.:17:57.

offering live from Washington. You have spent a lot of time in the last

:17:58.:18:00.

two years reporting on parts of America where Mr Trump is popular.

:18:01.:18:05.

Watching that report, Mr Trump and his supporters will not care less

:18:06.:18:08.

about this? You are absolutely right on that. I was at a rally that

:18:09.:18:14.

President Trump held last week in Iowa. Certainly the message from the

:18:15.:18:17.

president during that rally was his focus on putting America first. He

:18:18.:18:24.

said after decades of building foreign nations, we are now

:18:25.:18:28.

rebuilding our nation. Do some extent, throughout the campaign and

:18:29.:18:33.

even last week, President Trump was reinforcing the notion that perhaps

:18:34.:18:36.

globalisation isn't a great thing. We've seen in the last few months

:18:37.:18:41.

President Trump criticised the London mayor, apparently refusing to

:18:42.:18:44.

shake the hand of Angela Merkel. At a summit recently he appeared to

:18:45.:18:47.

push through to the front of a group of world leaders who were walking.

:18:48.:18:54.

He doesn't particularly care. Of course, around the world, those

:18:55.:18:58.

actions have drawn scorn. We have seen that when we look at the

:18:59.:19:01.

results of the survey. For the supporters that I have been speaking

:19:02.:19:06.

to throw the campaign, they really don't care, because they don't see

:19:07.:19:10.

him as a politician as such, he is a deal maker, and they like the fact

:19:11.:19:13.

that he stands up to foreign leaders. Picking up on that point,

:19:14.:19:18.

one thing that unites critics and supporters of Mr Trump is that he's

:19:19.:19:22.

strong and the man who knows his own mind. That's certainly something

:19:23.:19:27.

that supporters of the president said last week when I asked them

:19:28.:19:32.

about what they thought of the ongoing investigation into Russia.

:19:33.:19:35.

They liked the fact that he doesn't wheat and reach the American people

:19:36.:19:40.

directly. -- he does tweet. When it comes to assessing how well he is

:19:41.:19:44.

standing in the world, they see things like his pledge to build a

:19:45.:19:48.

war with Mexico or exiting certain trade deals around the world, they

:19:49.:19:53.

see that as a good thing in terms of global relations -- build a wall.

:19:54.:19:56.

I'm surprised by the number of people last week at trumps Riley

:19:57.:19:59.

said they were happy and delighted that the president plans to take the

:20:00.:20:04.

US out of the Paris climate deal. That wasn't something I thought they

:20:05.:20:08.

would be talking about in the midwest, but they saw that as a kind

:20:09.:20:12.

of message to the rest of the world that their president will do what is

:20:13.:20:15.

right to them even if it rough. Others across the globe. If the

:20:16.:20:19.

approval ratings are to be believed. There are some people who wanted Mr

:20:20.:20:24.

Trump to be president to our having their doubts. Do we have any

:20:25.:20:28.

information on what is driving those doubts? I think actually some of

:20:29.:20:32.

that, certainly from conversations I have had, is the way that they feel

:20:33.:20:37.

that busy West is now perceived worldwide. Certainly as we saw in

:20:38.:20:42.

that report bird, President Obama was somebody who consistently in

:20:43.:20:46.

opinion polls around the world was popular in other nations. Some

:20:47.:20:50.

people, critics of President Trump, worry about the way in which his

:20:51.:20:54.

policies here in America are affecting America's standing

:20:55.:20:57.

globally. Thank you very much, good to speak to you. We have been live

:20:58.:21:05.

in Washington, we have been to many parts of the world as well. We will

:21:06.:21:10.

finish up in Brazil, because its president has been charged with

:21:11.:21:15.

accepting bribes. He replaced the last president, Dilma Rouseff, who

:21:16.:21:19.

with in pitch after accusations of manipulating the National budget.

:21:20.:21:27.

Now it is Michel Temer's term. He is accused of receiving inappropriate

:21:28.:21:30.

money from the boss of a giant meat packing firm. Camilla is live from

these charges? Well, President Michel Temer has just spoken on

said that Brazil's chief prosecutor actually has a bend that against him

and that he has made regional accusations. Michel Temer has vowed

:21:56.:22:01.

to prove his innocence. He has faced a slew of accusations is taking

office last year. This is the first formal charges against him. We do

:22:07.:22:11.

have to bear in mind, this is the first time that a sitting president

:22:12.:22:14.

in Brazil has faced charges. What happens now? Well, what happens now

:22:15.:22:21.

is that the charges have been delivered to a Supreme Court judge

:22:22.:22:25.

who must now decide if the case can be sent to the lower house of the

:22:26.:22:28.

parliament. The low warehouse would vote on whether President Temer

:22:29.:22:34.

should be tried. -- the lower house. He would be suspended from office,

as former President Dilma Rouseff, who ended up being impeached last

votes to actually blocked by two thirds of Daugherty that's needed

politics and public opinion. How is the public viewing the

:23:02.:23:05.

President'ssituation? Well, it's a lot about politics and public

:23:06.:23:09.

opinion. President Temer is already deeply unpopular in Brazil. His

:23:10.:23:14.

approval rate is now just 7%, according to a recent poll. He is

:23:15.:23:18.

actually the president with the lowest popularity in at least two

:23:19.:23:23.

decades. There have been calls for his impeachment, for his resigning.

:23:24.:23:27.

The opposition parties have now been calling for is that the election.

:23:28.:23:32.

But so far, it doesn't seem like any of those things is likely to happen.

:23:33.:23:35.

The centre-right coalition, that governs Brazil with President Temer,

:23:36.:23:43.

believe that even if they manage, however, to avoid an impeachment

process, the political crisis will make it really hard to prove all of

:23:47.:23:51.

the reforms that this Government wants to pass in Congress. So it's a

:23:52.:23:56.

very, a difficult political situation for President Michel

:23:57.:23:59.

Temer. Even if he avoids avoids improvement process. It's
