:00:10. > :00:11.Hello, I am Ros Atkins, this is Outside Source.

:00:12. > :00:14.Next week, the world's most powerful leaders come together at the G20.

:00:15. > :00:20.Angela Merkel has added some spice to the build-up with these comments.

:00:21. > :00:23.Since the United States' decision to leave the Paris climate deal

:00:24. > :00:26.we are more determined than ever to make it a success.

:00:27. > :00:29.The Paris climate deal is irreversible and

:00:30. > :00:34.She has also said people who see solutions in

:00:35. > :00:37.isolationism and protectionism are terribly wrong.

:00:38. > :00:39.I think Donald Trump will have a good idea

:00:40. > :00:45.The third highest member of the Catholic Church is leaving the

:00:46. > :00:47.Vatican and going back to Australia to face sex abuse charges.

:00:48. > :00:52.Donald Trump's travel ban starts later, but with some changes.

:00:53. > :00:58.Meanwhile, Donald Trump has made personal and derogatory comments

:00:59. > :01:07.And we will report on why some African countries intend to ban

:01:08. > :01:27.Some blunt talking from Angela Merkel today,

:01:28. > :01:33.And all in the context of next week's G20 summit when the world's

:01:34. > :01:35.most powerful leaders will come together.

:01:36. > :01:44.First there was this on climate change.

:01:45. > :01:49.TRANSLATION: The European Union stands fully behind its Paris

:01:50. > :01:54.commitment and it will implement the agreement rapidly and decisively.

:01:55. > :01:58.Furthermore, since the United States' decision to leave the Paris

:01:59. > :02:03.climate deal, we are more determined than ever to make it a success. We

:02:04. > :02:08.cannot and will not wait to act until the science has convinced

:02:09. > :02:10.every last doubter. In one word, the Paris climate deal is irreversible

:02:11. > :02:14.Remember, President Trump has pulled the US out of the Paris agreement.

:02:15. > :02:20.Next there was this from Angela Merkel.

:02:21. > :02:25.TRANSLATION: Those who believe that the problems of this world can be

:02:26. > :02:28.solved by isolationism or protectionism are terribly wrong.

:02:29. > :02:29.Remember Doanld Trump is enthusiastic about

:02:30. > :02:34.It's worth bearing this in mind though.

:02:35. > :02:37.As David Vuyanovich of AFP puts it - "There must be an election

:02:38. > :02:43.Yes, the German election is in September, and, yes,

:02:44. > :02:46.Mrs Merkel is trying to hit two birds with one stone.

:02:47. > :02:54.Jenny Hill in Berlin can take up the story.

:02:55. > :02:59.If you listened to Angela Merkel addressing MPs in the German

:03:00. > :03:04.parliament this morning you got the sense of the German Chancellor was

:03:05. > :03:08.preparing to do battle. She was doing a couple of things. First of

:03:09. > :03:12.all, she was playing to a home crowd, she has an election later

:03:13. > :03:17.this year and she knows that were many Germans are concerned about

:03:18. > :03:22.Donald Trump's administration, that boosts her own domestic ratings. But

:03:23. > :03:30.she is also very keen to use this opportunity, particularly in the

:03:31. > :03:35.light of Brexit to bring the European project together. Today she

:03:36. > :03:39.invited a number of European leaders from the G 22 Berlin. She was

:03:40. > :03:44.outlining her plans for G20. She said she would be talking about how

:03:45. > :03:50.to tackle climate change, terrorism, health care, economic growth

:03:51. > :03:55.worldwide, tackling the causes of migration and so on. In reality she

:03:56. > :04:00.was trying to rally the troops. She is very keen to put on the United

:04:01. > :04:06.front when she sits around the table at the G20 summit and faces Donald

:04:07. > :04:07.Trump across the table next weekend. And we will be live with you from

:04:08. > :04:22.Hamburg on the G20. He was a prominent

:04:23. > :04:25.opposition leader in Russia. Today five men were found guilty

:04:26. > :04:33.of murdering him in 2015. For nine months they have stood

:04:34. > :04:37.accused of murdering one of President Putin's biggest critics.

:04:38. > :04:42.This week they protested their innocence again, claiming they had

:04:43. > :04:46.only confessed under torture. The jury did not believe them. After 12

:04:47. > :04:52.hours considering the evidence they found all five men guilty. Boris

:04:53. > :04:57.Nemtsov was shot in the back right beside the Kremlin. The jury heard

:04:58. > :05:01.how his killers had trailed him for months before striking. He was once

:05:02. > :05:06.a political high-flyer here, the Deputy Prime Minister. He had been

:05:07. > :05:11.pushed into the margins under Vladimir Putin but was still a thorn

:05:12. > :05:15.in the Kremlin's site. The day he died he was on the radio calling

:05:16. > :05:21.President Putin ally for denying Russian troops were fighting in

:05:22. > :05:26.Ukraine. He had planned march that wheat for peace. It became a of

:05:27. > :05:32.morning instead. A stunned crowd demanded justice. Boris Nemtsov's

:05:33. > :05:36.family are sure he was killed because of his political activity

:05:37. > :05:39.but for nine months the hearings here in this military courts were

:05:40. > :05:44.focused only on the five men accused of carrying out a contract killing.

:05:45. > :05:51.The key question of who hired them and why remain unanswered even now.

:05:52. > :05:57.So today the family's representative in court said this case does not go

:05:58. > :06:02.far enough. These suspects are just the perpetrators, but where are the

:06:03. > :06:08.organisers and the sponsors? So all the secret services of Mr Putin

:06:09. > :06:13.could not find them. Boris Nemtsov's family have vowed to go on pushing

:06:14. > :06:15.for answers to a murder that shocked Russia and silenced one of its

:06:16. > :06:43.loudest voices of dissent. First of all, Anthony, what will the

:06:44. > :06:47.White House looking -- be looking to do when Donald Trump comes to

:06:48. > :06:52.Germany next week? The White House will have no problems trying to use

:06:53. > :06:58.Angela Merkel as a foil in order to advance Donald Trump's agenda, which

:06:59. > :07:02.is pushing for a protectionist pro-America, pro-American jobs

:07:03. > :07:08.agenda. They see any sort of tension with Angela Merkel as a benefit

:07:09. > :07:13.because he will be perceived to be standing up for American jobs.

:07:14. > :07:17.Donald Trump has criticised European policy on climate change and

:07:18. > :07:22.European trade policy in the past. You will hear more of that and even

:07:23. > :07:25.browbeating about how European countries need to share more of the

:07:26. > :07:30.burden of their own defence and he will do that on the biggest stage.

:07:31. > :07:35.One story I want to ask you about is that and this is another. Donald

:07:36. > :07:40.Trump has been abusing people online. On the receiving end today

:07:41. > :07:46.would two journalists who co-host the show in the morning.

:07:47. > :07:48.On the receiving end today were Joe Scarborough

:07:49. > :07:51.They co-host the show "Morning Joe" on MSNBC.

:07:52. > :07:53.And they're frequently critical of the Trump administration,

:07:54. > :07:55.though that puts them in a large group.

:07:56. > :07:58.Not clear why the President attacked them today, but he did.

:07:59. > :08:01."I heard poorly rated @Morning-Joe speaks badly of me.

:08:02. > :08:04.Then how come low IQ, crazy Meeka, along with Psycho Joe, came."

:08:05. > :08:07.Then after five long minutes where we were all wondering

:08:08. > :08:09.where he's going with this, the next tweet arrived.

:08:10. > :08:12."How come they came to Mar-a-Lago three nights in a row

:08:13. > :08:15.around New Year's Eve, and insisted on joining me?

:08:16. > :08:18.She was bleeding badly from a face-lift.

:08:19. > :08:22.Lest we forget, this is the President of

:08:23. > :08:30.Republican Congresswoman Lynn Jenkins tweeted: This is not OK.

:08:31. > :08:32.We should be working to empower women.

:08:33. > :08:40.This isn't normal and it's beneath the dignity of your office.

:08:41. > :08:50.Mr President, your tweet was beneath the office.

:08:51. > :08:55.It represents what is wrong with American politics.

:08:56. > :08:58.But it's not clear to me why anyone would be surprised by this.

:08:59. > :09:00.The Republicans know that the man they support is repeatedly abusive -

:09:01. > :09:04.he was before he became President, he has been since he took office.

:09:05. > :09:11.The White House, however is defending the President's comments.

:09:12. > :09:17.Here's his deputy Press secretary earlier.

:09:18. > :09:26.Frankly if this had happened in the previous administration the type of

:09:27. > :09:32.attacks launched on this programme, the things they say, mentally ill,

:09:33. > :09:35.constant personal attacks, calling members liar is to their faces, the

:09:36. > :09:43.rest of the media would have said, no wait, hold on, that nobody does

:09:44. > :09:50.that. The president is not going to step back, he has showed that.

:09:51. > :09:53.During Barack Obama's time in office he was repeatedly questioned where

:09:54. > :09:57.he was born and one of the people doing the questioning was Donald

:09:58. > :10:02.Trump. Let's bring in Anthony live from Washington again. This is a

:10:03. > :10:06.tough one to explain because it is so far away from anything we have

:10:07. > :10:11.seen from anyone in the White House before. Exactly. Donald Trump is a

:10:12. > :10:15.president unlike any we have seen before and he is behaving like the

:10:16. > :10:20.Donald Trump we have seen over the years. It should not come as any

:10:21. > :10:24.surprise that he fight fire with fire in the way the White House has

:10:25. > :10:28.defended this. Sarah Huckabee Sanders when asked said American

:10:29. > :10:33.voters knew what they were getting when they voted for Donald Trump.

:10:34. > :10:39.That has a kernel of truth to it, this was the way he behaved on the

:10:40. > :10:44.campaign trail, picking fights with his opponents, being critical in

:10:45. > :10:47.personal terms with Hillary Clinton. To see him behaving in this way as

:10:48. > :10:53.president is in keeping with his character and there is no way he

:10:54. > :10:59.will change. A corresponding from the New York Times saying, how does

:11:00. > :11:05.this help get the legislation the Senate? There will be people rubbing

:11:06. > :11:10.their head saying, this did not further our cause. This is a key

:11:11. > :11:14.moment for that Republican health care plan in the Senate. They had to

:11:15. > :11:18.push back a vote earlier in the week. The measure is fairly

:11:19. > :11:23.unpopular among the American public and now is the time Republicans in

:11:24. > :11:27.Congress and Donald Trump need to boost support for this plan among

:11:28. > :11:32.the general American public, but that is not what people are talking

:11:33. > :11:37.about right now. They are talking about Donald Trump's tweets. Most

:11:38. > :11:42.people see this as a big distraction and counter-productive to their

:11:43. > :11:45.efforts. Every time this happens it highlights the compromises some

:11:46. > :11:49.Republicans are having to make between a man they are not convinced

:11:50. > :11:55.by and the fact they have an awful lot of power for their party at the

:11:56. > :11:59.moment. And that is why Republicans by and large stood by Donald Trump

:12:00. > :12:04.during the campaign even when he picked fights with people that they

:12:05. > :12:06.considered not appropriate. They understood having a Republican in

:12:07. > :12:12.the White House is the most important thing. More Republican

:12:13. > :12:19.voters supported Donald Trump in this election than voted for Mitt

:12:20. > :12:22.a judgment on the part of a judgment on the part

:12:23. > :12:28.conservative voters that they do not conservative voters that they do not

:12:29. > :12:29.but they need a Republican in there but they need a Republican in there

:12:30. > :12:33.to sign the bill is an support their agenda and that is worth it for them

:12:34. > :12:38.and they are living with the consequences of that decision for

:12:39. > :12:42.better or worse. Some people will be watching as in the US and others

:12:43. > :12:48.elsewhere in the world. How big a story has this become from two

:12:49. > :12:53.tweets? He is picking a fight with someone who is fairly popular in

:12:54. > :12:57.Washington, DC, a mover and shaker in the media circles. Outside of

:12:58. > :13:02.Washington, DC I am not so sure. One of my colleagues said some of them

:13:03. > :13:07.didn't even know who the people were. This may not play as big as we

:13:08. > :13:12.think it is within the Washington bubble. Thank you very much as

:13:13. > :13:18.always. Anthony live from Washington, DC. We started in

:13:19. > :13:19.Germany and we shifted to Washington and in a few minutes we will turn to

:13:20. > :13:22.Hong Kong. Xi Jinping has made his first visit

:13:23. > :13:26.to Hong Kong as President 20 years since the territory was handed back

:13:27. > :13:43.to China by Britain. Kensington and Chelsea Council has

:13:44. > :13:48.denied Cabinet meeting due to discuss its response to the Grenfell

:13:49. > :13:52.Tower because journalists managed to gain entry. Earlier the leader of

:13:53. > :13:55.the council told BBC London's political editor that he did not

:13:56. > :14:00.want to be drawn on whether he would stay on as council leader. The

:14:01. > :14:05.proper response to people's lives that have been so devastated by this

:14:06. > :14:26.tragedy is in place. Will you be the leader in six months' time? That is

:14:27. > :14:26.the council and the Conservatives now. Would you be the

:14:27. > :14:27.the council and the Conservatives into the election

:14:28. > :14:29.understand you want to go down that road. I think it would demean

:14:30. > :14:30.lives that have been lost by getting lives that have been lost by getting

:14:31. > :14:31.too much into the political future too much into the political future

:14:32. > :14:51.of me or anybody else. We are alive in the BBC newsroom.

:14:52. > :14:56.Angela Merkel is saying the Paris agreement on climate change is

:14:57. > :14:59.non-negotiable. That was a very thinly veiled attack on Donald Trump

:15:00. > :15:03.who is pulling the US out of that accord and all of this is part of

:15:04. > :15:10.the build-up up to next week's G20 summit in Hamburg. On BBC World

:15:11. > :15:17.Service, forces opposing the Islamic State group have made significant

:15:18. > :15:21.advances in both Syria and Iraq. BBC correspondents in Mosul and Iraq say

:15:22. > :15:27.forces are close to retaking the famous Al Newry mask. The price of

:15:28. > :15:31.fuel in Egypt has almost doubled overnight. The government has cut

:15:32. > :15:37.subsidies in order to meet the terms of alone from the International

:15:38. > :15:43.Monetary Fund. Russia's defence minister has described the UK's new

:15:44. > :15:48.aircraft carrier just a convenient, large, my time target. He was

:15:49. > :15:54.responding to criticism by the UK Government of Russia's aircraft

:15:55. > :16:00.carrier. In a few hours some of Donald Trump's travel ban will take

:16:01. > :16:05.effect. It will affect six Muslim majority countries and it is

:16:06. > :16:10.happening now because on Monday, as we reported, the US Supreme Court

:16:11. > :16:13.reinstated the ban, but it did so with a caveat. People will only be

:16:14. > :16:18.able to come in if they could prove a credible claim of a real

:16:19. > :16:23.relationship. Today we got more details on what that means. This is

:16:24. > :16:30.a quote from a cable sent out by the US State Department. They do not

:16:31. > :16:34.include grandparents, grandchildren, uncles, aunts, nieces, nephews,

:16:35. > :16:40.cousins, fiancees and other extended family members. None of those

:16:41. > :16:44.relationships will qualify you. Jane O'Brien has been telling me what

:16:45. > :16:49.kind of effect this will have on immigration from those six

:16:50. > :16:54.countries. The applications for visas are already down since Donald

:16:55. > :16:58.Trump came into power, but this does not affect people who already have a

:16:59. > :17:01.Visa and that is the fundamental difference between this ban and the

:17:02. > :17:06.first band that caused so much chaos at airports because people were

:17:07. > :17:21.getting on planes, thinking they getting on planes, thinking they

:17:22. > :17:24.were allowed to will be a big headache for

:17:25. > :17:28.embassies, agencies and those who process visas because the burden to

:17:29. > :17:33.major that people can travel from the six countries will be on them.

:17:34. > :17:36.Others involved are saying they are ready this time around in perhaps

:17:37. > :17:43.the way they were not the first time around. They have been given 72

:17:44. > :17:47.hours to get their ducks lined up. But again the first ban was

:17:48. > :17:53.implemented overnight, nobody was given any warning. The State

:17:54. > :17:58.Department, customs and immigration, had no idea what was happening. This

:17:59. > :18:02.time the administration is releasing guidelines, you have just read some

:18:03. > :18:07.of those out, and they have allowed a few days for people to implement

:18:08. > :18:15.them and for proper guidance to be given at this end. Can you

:18:16. > :18:18.understand where the Supreme Court's ruling in October into this given

:18:19. > :18:26.that the 90 days will already be up? Good point and well made. It could

:18:27. > :18:28.easily be irrelevant because the Supreme Court is going to hear

:18:29. > :18:35.whether or not Donald Trump had the power to do this, or whether they

:18:36. > :18:39.have given him the power to do it by saying he does have the executive

:18:40. > :18:44.authority. The big question critics wanted the court to look that was

:18:45. > :18:48.whether or not this constituted a ban on Muslims, whether it was

:18:49. > :18:52.unconstitutional because it discriminated against a specific

:18:53. > :18:56.religion. We do not know if the Supreme Court will even hear those

:18:57. > :19:01.arguments. They did not take them into account when they did the

:19:02. > :19:05.partial lifting of the band. It could all be irrelevant come October

:19:06. > :19:11.because this temporary ban will be over. George Pell is the third

:19:12. > :19:15.highest ranking member of the Catholic Church and has been charged

:19:16. > :19:20.by Australian police with historic sex offences. He denies these

:19:21. > :19:23.allegations but will lead the Vatican to defend himself. Here is

:19:24. > :19:27.This morning in St Peter's Square, the Cardinals of the Catholic church

:19:28. > :19:30.turned out for a celebration led by Pope Francis.

:19:31. > :19:33.What these men do, how they behave, directly affects

:19:34. > :19:41.This morning, one of their number was missing.

:19:42. > :19:43.Cardinal George Pell appeared in a Vatican pressroom

:19:44. > :19:47.to respond to the allegations made in Australia.

:19:48. > :19:59.The whole idea of sexual abuse is abhorrent to me.

:20:00. > :20:02.For more than 40 years, George Pell worked as a priest

:20:03. > :20:06.and then an archbishop in his own country.

:20:07. > :20:11.During the 1970s, he worked in his hometown of Ballarat.

:20:12. > :20:15.The police have been investigating this era.

:20:16. > :20:20.Cardinal Pell is facing multiple charges in respect

:20:21. > :20:27.And there are multiple complainants relating to those charges.

:20:28. > :20:30.This isn't the first time the Cardinal has had to answer

:20:31. > :20:36.In February of last year, George Pell testified via video link

:20:37. > :20:39.to an Australian Royal Commission on child abuse.

:20:40. > :20:43.Australian victims flew in to watch his testimony.

:20:44. > :20:48.Other abuse survivors say the Pope himself must now take wider steps.

:20:49. > :20:51.He is very good at sound bites and saying the right

:20:52. > :20:56.But for me, and I know for many other survivors and victims,

:20:57. > :20:59.it's not about sound bites and public relations,

:21:00. > :21:04.And on action, the Church is still dismally slow and way

:21:05. > :21:07.behind the curve in terms of what they should be doing to deal

:21:08. > :21:10.with the crisis that exists within that institution.

:21:11. > :21:12.Pope Francis has called George Pell dedicated and honest.

:21:13. > :21:16.Now a court in Australia must decide if that is so.

:21:17. > :21:30.Next, let's turn to the business and for the first time in seven years

:21:31. > :21:35.all of America's biggest banks have been given a clean bill of health.

:21:36. > :21:41.They were tested to see if they could withstand a financial crisis.

:21:42. > :21:47.Michelle is live in New York. What kind of test did they have to go

:21:48. > :21:50.through? It is a 2-part test. We found the results from the first

:21:51. > :21:57.part last week and that was a simulated model in which the Federal

:21:58. > :22:02.reserve and America's Central bank looked at the big 24 institutions

:22:03. > :22:08.with US operations to see if there was a sudden, dramatic downturn,

:22:09. > :22:11.were those banks in a strong in opposition to survive? They all

:22:12. > :22:16.passed that test with flying colours. The test results we found

:22:17. > :22:19.out late last night had to do with their capital plans, what they

:22:20. > :22:22.intended to do with the money they had, whether or not they were

:22:23. > :22:28.allowed to pay out dividends or buy back shares, something that is

:22:29. > :22:33.hugely important to investors. For the first time we saw all of the

:22:34. > :22:38.banks pass that test. I am saying for the first time since this was

:22:39. > :22:45.introduced back in 2011 in the wake of the financial crisis. Citigroup

:22:46. > :22:48.failed in 2012 and 2014. It passed this time. Shortly after the

:22:49. > :22:54.announcement it said it was doubling its dividend. It is good in terms of

:22:55. > :22:59.them feeling secure for the future, is it good for the health of their

:23:00. > :23:03.business right now? It is a sign we have come a long way from the

:23:04. > :23:06.financial crisis when we are looking at the health of the financial

:23:07. > :23:11.sector. It is important to remember in all of this. The question is

:23:12. > :23:17.going forward what is the strategy for these banks? How does that

:23:18. > :23:23.change? Or is it the case they have got better at understanding this new

:23:24. > :23:27.system. Then there is Donald Trump. Will he change this? He says he

:23:28. > :23:31.wants to look at fewer rules for banks and critics of these tests

:23:32. > :23:35.have long argued the banks have been burden too much with oversight and

:23:36. > :23:42.it has helped lending and stop the economy from growing as fast. What

:23:43. > :23:47.happens if they fail? Are there any consequences? Wells Fargo got in a

:23:48. > :23:51.bit of trouble over the last year with its sales practices and there

:23:52. > :23:55.had been a lot of attention paid. People were waiting to see whether

:23:56. > :24:05.or not they would pass. They did pass. Another bank, Capital One, its

:24:06. > :24:10.plans for how it wants to spend its capital, they almost failed. What

:24:11. > :24:14.that means is they have to go away, reshuffle what they planned to do

:24:15. > :24:19.with their capital, re-present it back to the Federal reserve,

:24:20. > :24:22.America's Central bank, and see if they can fully get it approved.

:24:23. > :24:28.Otherwise they are not allowed to proceed with their current plans. In

:24:29. > :24:33.the past Citigroup paying this huge dividend out was unable to do that.

:24:34. > :24:39.It could not do it by the Central bank. We will talk next week. It has

:24:40. > :24:46.been a disappointing day for Rupert Murdoch. His company 21st-century

:24:47. > :24:51.Fox was to take over the broadcaster sky. Today the government said it

:24:52. > :24:55.was minded to refer the whole matter to the government watchdog. This is

:24:56. > :24:59.our media editor. They will be pleased and relieved they have been

:25:00. > :25:03.deemed fit and proper by the broadcasting regulator Ofcom to own

:25:04. > :25:08.a broadcasting licence. But there are lingering worries about

:25:09. > :25:13.excessive power and control being in the hands of one family. But Rupert

:25:14. > :25:18.Murdoch is not as powerful as he used to be in Britain. His newspaper

:25:19. > :25:22.circulation is in decline. They did not get the result they wanted in

:25:23. > :25:28.the election and the rise of powerhouses like Amazon and Facebook

:25:29. > :25:39.means they face competition. Rupert Murdoch is hugely controversial and

:25:40. > :25:43.divisive and it is being returned to the competition regulator and for

:25:44. > :25:48.the time being Rupert Murdoch's Fox is in the long grass. In a few

:25:49. > :25:54.minutes we will hear from Richard Conway who is in Dusseldorf for the

:25:55. > :25:55.start of the Tour de France. I will give you his report in about ten

:25:56. > :26:01.minutes' time.
