Hello, I am Ros Atkins, this is Outside Source. | :00:10. | :00:11. | |
Next week, the world's most powerful leaders come together at the G20. | :00:12. | :00:14. | |
Angela Merkel has added some spice to the build-up with these comments. | :00:15. | :00:21. | |
Since the United States' decision to leave the Paris climate deal | :00:22. | :00:23. | |
we are more determined than ever to make it a success. | :00:24. | :00:26. | |
The Paris climate deal is irreversible and | :00:27. | :00:30. | |
She has also said people who see solutions in | :00:31. | :00:35. | |
isolationism and protectionism are terribly wrong. | :00:36. | :00:38. | |
I think Donald Trump will have a good idea | :00:39. | :00:40. | |
The third highest member of the Catholic Church is leaving the | :00:41. | :00:45. | |
Vatican and going back to Australia to face sex abuse charges. | :00:46. | :00:48. | |
Donald Trump's travel ban starts later, but with some changes. | :00:49. | :00:53. | |
Meanwhile, Donald Trump has made personal and derogatory comments | :00:54. | :00:59. | |
And we will report on why some African countries intend to ban | :01:00. | :01:07. | |
Some blunt talking from Angela Merkel today, | :01:08. | :01:27. | |
And all in the context of next week's G20 summit when the world's | :01:28. | :01:33. | |
most powerful leaders will come together. | :01:34. | :01:36. | |
First there was this on climate change. | :01:37. | :01:44. | |
TRANSLATION: The European Union stands fully behind its Paris | :01:45. | :01:50. | |
commitment and it will implement the agreement rapidly and decisively. | :01:51. | :01:54. | |
Furthermore, since the United States' decision to leave the Paris | :01:55. | :01:59. | |
climate deal, we are more determined than ever to make it a success. We | :02:00. | :02:04. | |
cannot and will not wait to act until the science has convinced | :02:05. | :02:08. | |
every last doubter. In one word, the Paris climate deal is irreversible | :02:09. | :02:11. | |
Remember, President Trump has pulled the US out of the Paris agreement. | :02:12. | :02:15. | |
Next there was this from Angela Merkel. | :02:16. | :02:21. | |
TRANSLATION: Those who believe that the problems of this world can be | :02:22. | :02:26. | |
solved by isolationism or protectionism are terribly wrong. | :02:27. | :02:29. | |
Remember Doanld Trump is enthusiastic about | :02:30. | :02:30. | |
It's worth bearing this in mind though. | :02:31. | :02:35. | |
As David Vuyanovich of AFP puts it - "There must be an election | :02:36. | :02:38. | |
Yes, the German election is in September, and, yes, | :02:39. | :02:44. | |
Mrs Merkel is trying to hit two birds with one stone. | :02:45. | :02:47. | |
Jenny Hill in Berlin can take up the story. | :02:48. | :02:55. | |
If you listened to Angela Merkel addressing MPs in the German | :02:56. | :03:00. | |
parliament this morning you got the sense of the German Chancellor was | :03:01. | :03:04. | |
preparing to do battle. She was doing a couple of things. First of | :03:05. | :03:09. | |
all, she was playing to a home crowd, she has an election later | :03:10. | :03:13. | |
this year and she knows that were many Germans are concerned about | :03:14. | :03:17. | |
Donald Trump's administration, that boosts her own domestic ratings. But | :03:18. | :03:22. | |
she is also very keen to use this opportunity, particularly in the | :03:23. | :03:30. | |
light of Brexit to bring the European project together. Today she | :03:31. | :03:35. | |
invited a number of European leaders from the G 22 Berlin. She was | :03:36. | :03:40. | |
outlining her plans for G20. She said she would be talking about how | :03:41. | :03:45. | |
to tackle climate change, terrorism, health care, economic growth | :03:46. | :03:51. | |
worldwide, tackling the causes of migration and so on. In reality she | :03:52. | :03:55. | |
was trying to rally the troops. She is very keen to put on the United | :03:56. | :04:00. | |
front when she sits around the table at the G20 summit and faces Donald | :04:01. | :04:06. | |
Trump across the table next weekend. And we will be live with you from | :04:07. | :04:08. | |
Hamburg on the G20. He was a prominent | :04:09. | :04:22. | |
opposition leader in Russia. Today five men were found guilty | :04:23. | :04:25. | |
of murdering him in 2015. For nine months they have stood | :04:26. | :04:33. | |
accused of murdering one of President Putin's biggest critics. | :04:34. | :04:38. | |
This week they protested their innocence again, claiming they had | :04:39. | :04:42. | |
only confessed under torture. The jury did not believe them. After 12 | :04:43. | :04:46. | |
hours considering the evidence they found all five men guilty. Boris | :04:47. | :04:53. | |
Nemtsov was shot in the back right beside the Kremlin. The jury heard | :04:54. | :04:57. | |
how his killers had trailed him for months before striking. He was once | :04:58. | :05:01. | |
a political high-flyer here, the Deputy Prime Minister. He had been | :05:02. | :05:07. | |
pushed into the margins under Vladimir Putin but was still a thorn | :05:08. | :05:11. | |
in the Kremlin's site. The day he died he was on the radio calling | :05:12. | :05:15. | |
President Putin ally for denying Russian troops were fighting in | :05:16. | :05:21. | |
Ukraine. He had planned march that wheat for peace. It became a of | :05:22. | :05:26. | |
morning instead. A stunned crowd demanded justice. Boris Nemtsov's | :05:27. | :05:33. | |
family are sure he was killed because of his political activity | :05:34. | :05:36. | |
but for nine months the hearings here in this military courts were | :05:37. | :05:40. | |
focused only on the five men accused of carrying out a contract killing. | :05:41. | :05:45. | |
The key question of who hired them and why remain unanswered even now. | :05:46. | :05:51. | |
So today the family's representative in court said this case does not go | :05:52. | :05:58. | |
far enough. These suspects are just the perpetrators, but where are the | :05:59. | :06:03. | |
organisers and the sponsors? So all the secret services of Mr Putin | :06:04. | :06:08. | |
could not find them. Boris Nemtsov's family have vowed to go on pushing | :06:09. | :06:13. | |
for answers to a murder that shocked Russia and silenced one of its | :06:14. | :06:15. | |
loudest voices of dissent. First of all, Anthony, what will the | :06:16. | :06:43. | |
White House looking -- be looking to do when Donald Trump comes to | :06:44. | :06:48. | |
Germany next week? The White House will have no problems trying to use | :06:49. | :06:52. | |
Angela Merkel as a foil in order to advance Donald Trump's agenda, which | :06:53. | :06:59. | |
is pushing for a protectionist pro-America, pro-American jobs | :07:00. | :07:03. | |
agenda. They see any sort of tension with Angela Merkel as a benefit | :07:04. | :07:09. | |
because he will be perceived to be standing up for American jobs. | :07:10. | :07:14. | |
Donald Trump has criticised European policy on climate change and | :07:15. | :07:17. | |
European trade policy in the past. You will hear more of that and even | :07:18. | :07:22. | |
browbeating about how European countries need to share more of the | :07:23. | :07:25. | |
burden of their own defence and he will do that on the biggest stage. | :07:26. | :07:31. | |
One story I want to ask you about is that and this is another. Donald | :07:32. | :07:35. | |
Trump has been abusing people online. On the receiving end today | :07:36. | :07:40. | |
would two journalists who co-host the show in the morning. | :07:41. | :07:47. | |
On the receiving end today were Joe Scarborough | :07:48. | :07:49. | |
They co-host the show "Morning Joe" on MSNBC. | :07:50. | :07:52. | |
And they're frequently critical of the Trump administration, | :07:53. | :07:54. | |
though that puts them in a large group. | :07:55. | :07:55. | |
Not clear why the President attacked them today, but he did. | :07:56. | :07:58. | |
"I heard poorly rated @Morning-Joe speaks badly of me. | :07:59. | :08:01. | |
Then how come low IQ, crazy Meeka, along with Psycho Joe, came." | :08:02. | :08:04. | |
Then after five long minutes where we were all wondering | :08:05. | :08:07. | |
where he's going with this, the next tweet arrived. | :08:08. | :08:10. | |
"How come they came to Mar-a-Lago three nights in a row | :08:11. | :08:12. | |
around New Year's Eve, and insisted on joining me? | :08:13. | :08:15. | |
She was bleeding badly from a face-lift. | :08:16. | :08:18. | |
Lest we forget, this is the President of | :08:19. | :08:23. | |
Republican Congresswoman Lynn Jenkins tweeted: This is not OK. | :08:24. | :08:30. | |
We should be working to empower women. | :08:31. | :08:33. | |
This isn't normal and it's beneath the dignity of your office. | :08:34. | :08:40. | |
Mr President, your tweet was beneath the office. | :08:41. | :08:51. | |
It represents what is wrong with American politics. | :08:52. | :08:55. | |
But it's not clear to me why anyone would be surprised by this. | :08:56. | :08:58. | |
The Republicans know that the man they support is repeatedly abusive - | :08:59. | :09:01. | |
he was before he became President, he has been since he took office. | :09:02. | :09:04. | |
The White House, however is defending the President's comments. | :09:05. | :09:12. | |
Here's his deputy Press secretary earlier. | :09:13. | :09:17. | |
Frankly if this had happened in the previous administration the type of | :09:18. | :09:26. | |
attacks launched on this programme, the things they say, mentally ill, | :09:27. | :09:32. | |
constant personal attacks, calling members liar is to their faces, the | :09:33. | :09:36. | |
rest of the media would have said, no wait, hold on, that nobody does | :09:37. | :09:43. | |
that. The president is not going to step back, he has showed that. | :09:44. | :09:50. | |
During Barack Obama's time in office he was repeatedly questioned where | :09:51. | :09:53. | |
he was born and one of the people doing the questioning was Donald | :09:54. | :09:57. | |
Trump. Let's bring in Anthony live from Washington again. This is a | :09:58. | :10:03. | |
tough one to explain because it is so far away from anything we have | :10:04. | :10:06. | |
seen from anyone in the White House before. Exactly. Donald Trump is a | :10:07. | :10:12. | |
president unlike any we have seen before and he is behaving like the | :10:13. | :10:15. | |
Donald Trump we have seen over the years. It should not come as any | :10:16. | :10:21. | |
surprise that he fight fire with fire in the way the White House has | :10:22. | :10:24. | |
defended this. Sarah Huckabee Sanders when asked said American | :10:25. | :10:29. | |
voters knew what they were getting when they voted for Donald Trump. | :10:30. | :10:34. | |
That has a kernel of truth to it, this was the way he behaved on the | :10:35. | :10:39. | |
campaign trail, picking fights with his opponents, being critical in | :10:40. | :10:44. | |
personal terms with Hillary Clinton. To see him behaving in this way as | :10:45. | :10:47. | |
president is in keeping with his character and there is no way he | :10:48. | :10:54. | |
will change. A corresponding from the New York Times saying, how does | :10:55. | :10:59. | |
this help get the legislation the Senate? There will be people rubbing | :11:00. | :11:05. | |
their head saying, this did not further our cause. This is a key | :11:06. | :11:10. | |
moment for that Republican health care plan in the Senate. They had to | :11:11. | :11:14. | |
push back a vote earlier in the week. The measure is fairly | :11:15. | :11:19. | |
unpopular among the American public and now is the time Republicans in | :11:20. | :11:24. | |
Congress and Donald Trump need to boost support for this plan among | :11:25. | :11:28. | |
the general American public, but that is not what people are talking | :11:29. | :11:33. | |
about right now. They are talking about Donald Trump's tweets. Most | :11:34. | :11:38. | |
people see this as a big distraction and counter-productive to their | :11:39. | :11:43. | |
efforts. Every time this happens it highlights the compromises some | :11:44. | :11:46. | |
Republicans are having to make between a man they are not convinced | :11:47. | :11:49. | |
by and the fact they have an awful lot of power for their party at the | :11:50. | :11:56. | |
moment. And that is why Republicans by and large stood by Donald Trump | :11:57. | :12:00. | |
during the campaign even when he picked fights with people that they | :12:01. | :12:04. | |
considered not appropriate. They understood having a Republican in | :12:05. | :12:07. | |
the White House is the most important thing. More Republican | :12:08. | :12:12. | |
voters supported Donald Trump in this election than voted for Mitt | :12:13. | :12:20. | |
a judgment on the part of a judgment on the part | :12:21. | :12:23. | |
conservative voters that they do not conservative voters that they do not | :12:24. | :12:28. | |
but they need a Republican in there but they need a Republican in there | :12:29. | :12:29. | |
to sign the bill is an support their agenda and that is worth it for them | :12:30. | :12:33. | |
and they are living with the consequences of that decision for | :12:34. | :12:38. | |
better or worse. Some people will be watching as in the US and others | :12:39. | :12:43. | |
elsewhere in the world. How big a story has this become from two | :12:44. | :12:49. | |
tweets? He is picking a fight with someone who is fairly popular in | :12:50. | :12:53. | |
Washington, DC, a mover and shaker in the media circles. Outside of | :12:54. | :12:58. | |
Washington, DC I am not so sure. One of my colleagues said some of them | :12:59. | :13:03. | |
didn't even know who the people were. This may not play as big as we | :13:04. | :13:08. | |
think it is within the Washington bubble. Thank you very much as | :13:09. | :13:13. | |
always. Anthony live from Washington, DC. We started in | :13:14. | :13:18. | |
Germany and we shifted to Washington and in a few minutes we will turn to | :13:19. | :13:20. | |
Hong Kong. Xi Jinping has made his first visit | :13:21. | :13:23. | |
to Hong Kong as President 20 years since the territory was handed back | :13:24. | :13:26. | |
to China by Britain. Kensington and Chelsea Council has | :13:27. | :13:43. | |
denied Cabinet meeting due to discuss its response to the Grenfell | :13:44. | :13:48. | |
Tower because journalists managed to gain entry. Earlier the leader of | :13:49. | :13:52. | |
the council told BBC London's political editor that he did not | :13:53. | :13:55. | |
want to be drawn on whether he would stay on as council leader. The | :13:56. | :14:01. | |
proper response to people's lives that have been so devastated by this | :14:02. | :14:06. | |
tragedy is in place. Will you be the leader in six months' time? That is | :14:07. | :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. | :14:28. | |
understand you want to go down that road. I think it would demean | :14:29. | :14:29. | |
lives that have been lost by getting lives that have been lost by getting | :14:30. | :14:30. | |
too much into the political future too much into the political future | :14:31. | :14:31. | |
of me or anybody else. We are alive in the BBC newsroom. | :14:32. | :14:52. | |
Angela Merkel is saying the Paris agreement on climate change is | :14:53. | :14:56. | |
non-negotiable. That was a very thinly veiled attack on Donald Trump | :14:57. | :15:00. | |
who is pulling the US out of that accord and all of this is part of | :15:01. | :15:04. | |
the build-up up to next week's G20 summit in Hamburg. On BBC World | :15:05. | :15:11. | |
Service, forces opposing the Islamic State group have made significant | :15:12. | :15:17. | |
advances in both Syria and Iraq. BBC correspondents in Mosul and Iraq say | :15:18. | :15:21. | |
forces are close to retaking the famous Al Newry mask. The price of | :15:22. | :15:28. | |
fuel in Egypt has almost doubled overnight. The government has cut | :15:29. | :15:31. | |
subsidies in order to meet the terms of alone from the International | :15:32. | :15:38. | |
Monetary Fund. Russia's defence minister has described the UK's new | :15:39. | :15:44. | |
aircraft carrier just a convenient, large, my time target. He was | :15:45. | :15:48. | |
responding to criticism by the UK Government of Russia's aircraft | :15:49. | :15:54. | |
carrier. In a few hours some of Donald Trump's travel ban will take | :15:55. | :16:00. | |
effect. It will affect six Muslim majority countries and it is | :16:01. | :16:05. | |
happening now because on Monday, as we reported, the US Supreme Court | :16:06. | :16:10. | |
reinstated the ban, but it did so with a caveat. People will only be | :16:11. | :16:13. | |
able to come in if they could prove a credible claim of a real | :16:14. | :16:19. | |
relationship. Today we got more details on what that means. This is | :16:20. | :16:24. | |
a quote from a cable sent out by the US State Department. They do not | :16:25. | :16:31. | |
include grandparents, grandchildren, uncles, aunts, nieces, nephews, | :16:32. | :16:35. | |
cousins, fiancees and other extended family members. None of those | :16:36. | :16:41. | |
relationships will qualify you. Jane O'Brien has been telling me what | :16:42. | :16:44. | |
kind of effect this will have on immigration from those six | :16:45. | :16:50. | |
countries. The applications for visas are already down since Donald | :16:51. | :16:54. | |
Trump came into power, but this does not affect people who already have a | :16:55. | :16:58. | |
Visa and that is the fundamental difference between this ban and the | :16:59. | :17:02. | |
first band that caused so much chaos at airports because people were | :17:03. | :17:06. | |
getting on planes, thinking they getting on planes, thinking they | :17:07. | :17:22. | |
were allowed to will be a big headache for | :17:23. | :17:25. | |
embassies, agencies and those who process visas because the burden to | :17:26. | :17:28. | |
major that people can travel from the six countries will be on them. | :17:29. | :17:34. | |
Others involved are saying they are ready this time around in perhaps | :17:35. | :17:37. | |
the way they were not the first time around. They have been given 72 | :17:38. | :17:44. | |
hours to get their ducks lined up. But again the first ban was | :17:45. | :17:47. | |
implemented overnight, nobody was given any warning. The State | :17:48. | :17:53. | |
Department, customs and immigration, had no idea what was happening. This | :17:54. | :17:58. | |
time the administration is releasing guidelines, you have just read some | :17:59. | :18:03. | |
of those out, and they have allowed a few days for people to implement | :18:04. | :18:07. | |
them and for proper guidance to be given at this end. Can you | :18:08. | :18:15. | |
understand where the Supreme Court's ruling in October into this given | :18:16. | :18:19. | |
that the 90 days will already be up? Good point and well made. It could | :18:20. | :18:26. | |
easily be irrelevant because the Supreme Court is going to hear | :18:27. | :18:29. | |
whether or not Donald Trump had the power to do this, or whether they | :18:30. | :18:35. | |
have given him the power to do it by saying he does have the executive | :18:36. | :18:40. | |
authority. The big question critics wanted the court to look that was | :18:41. | :18:45. | |
whether or not this constituted a ban on Muslims, whether it was | :18:46. | :18:48. | |
unconstitutional because it discriminated against a specific | :18:49. | :18:53. | |
religion. We do not know if the Supreme Court will even hear those | :18:54. | :18:56. | |
arguments. They did not take them into account when they did the | :18:57. | :19:01. | |
partial lifting of the band. It could all be irrelevant come October | :19:02. | :19:06. | |
because this temporary ban will be over. George Pell is the third | :19:07. | :19:12. | |
highest ranking member of the Catholic Church and has been charged | :19:13. | :19:16. | |
by Australian police with historic sex offences. He denies these | :19:17. | :19:21. | |
allegations but will lead the Vatican to defend himself. Here is | :19:22. | :19:23. | |
This morning in St Peter's Square, the Cardinals of the Catholic church | :19:24. | :19:28. | |
turned out for a celebration led by Pope Francis. | :19:29. | :19:30. | |
What these men do, how they behave, directly affects | :19:31. | :19:33. | |
This morning, one of their number was missing. | :19:34. | :19:42. | |
Cardinal George Pell appeared in a Vatican pressroom | :19:43. | :19:44. | |
to respond to the allegations made in Australia. | :19:45. | :19:47. | |
The whole idea of sexual abuse is abhorrent to me. | :19:48. | :19:59. | |
For more than 40 years, George Pell worked as a priest | :20:00. | :20:03. | |
and then an archbishop in his own country. | :20:04. | :20:06. | |
During the 1970s, he worked in his hometown of Ballarat. | :20:07. | :20:12. | |
The police have been investigating this era. | :20:13. | :20:15. | |
Cardinal Pell is facing multiple charges in respect | :20:16. | :20:21. | |
And there are multiple complainants relating to those charges. | :20:22. | :20:27. | |
This isn't the first time the Cardinal has had to answer | :20:28. | :20:31. | |
In February of last year, George Pell testified via video link | :20:32. | :20:37. | |
to an Australian Royal Commission on child abuse. | :20:38. | :20:40. | |
Australian victims flew in to watch his testimony. | :20:41. | :20:44. | |
Other abuse survivors say the Pope himself must now take wider steps. | :20:45. | :20:48. | |
He is very good at sound bites and saying the right | :20:49. | :20:51. | |
But for me, and I know for many other survivors and victims, | :20:52. | :20:57. | |
it's not about sound bites and public relations, | :20:58. | :20:59. | |
And on action, the Church is still dismally slow and way | :21:00. | :21:04. | |
behind the curve in terms of what they should be doing to deal | :21:05. | :21:08. | |
with the crisis that exists within that institution. | :21:09. | :21:10. | |
Pope Francis has called George Pell dedicated and honest. | :21:11. | :21:13. | |
Now a court in Australia must decide if that is so. | :21:14. | :21:16. | |
Next, let's turn to the business and for the first time in seven years | :21:17. | :21:31. | |
all of America's biggest banks have been given a clean bill of health. | :21:32. | :21:36. | |
They were tested to see if they could withstand a financial crisis. | :21:37. | :21:41. | |
Michelle is live in New York. What kind of test did they have to go | :21:42. | :21:48. | |
through? It is a 2-part test. We found the results from the first | :21:49. | :21:51. | |
part last week and that was a simulated model in which the Federal | :21:52. | :21:58. | |
reserve and America's Central bank looked at the big 24 institutions | :21:59. | :22:02. | |
with US operations to see if there was a sudden, dramatic downturn, | :22:03. | :22:08. | |
were those banks in a strong in opposition to survive? They all | :22:09. | :22:11. | |
passed that test with flying colours. The test results we found | :22:12. | :22:16. | |
out late last night had to do with their capital plans, what they | :22:17. | :22:19. | |
intended to do with the money they had, whether or not they were | :22:20. | :22:22. | |
allowed to pay out dividends or buy back shares, something that is | :22:23. | :22:29. | |
hugely important to investors. For the first time we saw all of the | :22:30. | :22:34. | |
banks pass that test. I am saying for the first time since this was | :22:35. | :22:38. | |
introduced back in 2011 in the wake of the financial crisis. Citigroup | :22:39. | :22:46. | |
failed in 2012 and 2014. It passed this time. Shortly after the | :22:47. | :22:49. | |
announcement it said it was doubling its dividend. It is good in terms of | :22:50. | :22:54. | |
them feeling secure for the future, is it good for the health of their | :22:55. | :22:59. | |
business right now? It is a sign we have come a long way from the | :23:00. | :23:03. | |
financial crisis when we are looking at the health of the financial | :23:04. | :23:07. | |
sector. It is important to remember in all of this. The question is | :23:08. | :23:12. | |
going forward what is the strategy for these banks? How does that | :23:13. | :23:18. | |
change? Or is it the case they have got better at understanding this new | :23:19. | :23:23. | |
system. Then there is Donald Trump. Will he change this? He says he | :23:24. | :23:27. | |
wants to look at fewer rules for banks and critics of these tests | :23:28. | :23:31. | |
have long argued the banks have been burden too much with oversight and | :23:32. | :23:36. | |
it has helped lending and stop the economy from growing as fast. What | :23:37. | :23:42. | |
happens if they fail? Are there any consequences? Wells Fargo got in a | :23:43. | :23:48. | |
bit of trouble over the last year with its sales practices and there | :23:49. | :23:52. | |
had been a lot of attention paid. People were waiting to see whether | :23:53. | :23:56. | |
or not they would pass. They did pass. Another bank, Capital One, its | :23:57. | :24:05. | |
plans for how it wants to spend its capital, they almost failed. What | :24:06. | :24:10. | |
that means is they have to go away, reshuffle what they planned to do | :24:11. | :24:14. | |
with their capital, re-present it back to the Federal reserve, | :24:15. | :24:19. | |
America's Central bank, and see if they can fully get it approved. | :24:20. | :24:23. | |
Otherwise they are not allowed to proceed with their current plans. In | :24:24. | :24:29. | |
the past Citigroup paying this huge dividend out was unable to do that. | :24:30. | :24:34. | |
It could not do it by the Central bank. We will talk next week. It has | :24:35. | :24:39. | |
been a disappointing day for Rupert Murdoch. His company 21st-century | :24:40. | :24:46. | |
Fox was to take over the broadcaster sky. Today the government said it | :24:47. | :24:51. | |
was minded to refer the whole matter to the government watchdog. This is | :24:52. | :24:55. | |
our media editor. They will be pleased and relieved they have been | :24:56. | :24:59. | |
deemed fit and proper by the broadcasting regulator Ofcom to own | :25:00. | :25:03. | |
a broadcasting licence. But there are lingering worries about | :25:04. | :25:08. | |
excessive power and control being in the hands of one family. But Rupert | :25:09. | :25:13. | |
Murdoch is not as powerful as he used to be in Britain. His newspaper | :25:14. | :25:19. | |
circulation is in decline. They did not get the result they wanted in | :25:20. | :25:23. | |
the election and the rise of powerhouses like Amazon and Facebook | :25:24. | :25:28. | |
means they face competition. Rupert Murdoch is hugely controversial and | :25:29. | :25:39. | |
divisive and it is being returned to the competition regulator and for | :25:40. | :25:43. | |
the time being Rupert Murdoch's Fox is in the long grass. In a few | :25:44. | :25:49. | |
minutes we will hear from Richard Conway who is in Dusseldorf for the | :25:50. | :25:54. | |
start of the Tour de France. I will give you his report in about ten | :25:55. | :25:56. | |
minutes' time. Thunderstorms have been erupting | :25:57. | :26:14. | |
across the central and northern plains of the United States and in | :26:15. | :26:20. | |
central Canada. Some of these will continue to break out as they had | :26:21. | :26:26. | |
further eastwards. On the satellite picture you can see these huge | :26:27. | :26:30. | |
thunderstorms are affecting Central Canada and the great Lakes. On | :26:31. | :26:34. | |
Friday they will erupt once again and push slowly eastwards. They will | :26:35. | :26:42. | |
affect the eastern states and Canada later on in the week. Meanwhile in | :26:43. | :26:47. | |
the West there is that dry air and that very high wildfire risk. That | :26:48. | :26:54. | |
line of thunderstorms continues to work its way closer to the eastern | :26:55. | :26:59. | |
seaboard as we head through to Saturday, bringing the threat of | :27:00. | :27:01. | |
flash flooding and possibly tornadoes. In south as yet the | :27:02. | :27:07. | |
south-west monsoon has got its act together and it has been pushing | :27:08. | :27:11. | |
into the north-west corner of India and into the South East Pakistan. | :27:12. | :27:15. | |
The bright colours mean exceptionally heavy rain, | :27:16. | :27:21. | |
potentially around Gujarat and Rajasthan. It is inevitable we could | :27:22. | :27:24. | |
see some serious flooding in the next couple of days. Heavy rain | :27:25. | :27:30. | |
Saturday and Sunday across New Delhi as well. And also in the North east | :27:31. | :27:38. | |
of India and Bangladesh where it will stay very wet. Interesting | :27:39. | :27:42. | |
weather in Europe. It is unseasonably cool in the north-west | :27:43. | :27:50. | |
corner with embedded thunderstorms. These have been quite severe in | :27:51. | :27:53. | |
central parts of Europe and the South East, but they are pulling | :27:54. | :27:57. | |
away northwards, affecting the Baltic states and in towards western | :27:58. | :28:02. | |
Russia. Meanwhile in the South East of Europe and in the eastern | :28:03. | :28:10. | |
Mediterranean is a heatwave. It has been above 40 in Cyprus and in | :28:11. | :28:14. | |
Turkey. We could even see some local records being broken. 43 potentially | :28:15. | :28:21. | |
for Athens. Further westwards it is a bit cooler and cloudier with | :28:22. | :28:25. | |
outbreaks of rain in the Balearic Islands and in France and northern | :28:26. | :28:30. | |
Spain. Fairly warm in Andalusia, but not as hot as it can be at this time | :28:31. | :28:39. | |
of the year. It is certainly not summery weather across the UK | :28:40. | :28:44. | |
through Friday. We have got that whether Brown returning southwards | :28:45. | :28:47. | |
with northerly winds that are quite strong in western areas and it will | :28:48. | :28:53. | |
feel on the poolside once again. We could see 22 degrees in the South | :28:54. | :28:55. | |
East. You can see a full Hello, I'm Ros Atkins, | :28:56. | :30:09. | |
this is Outside Source. Angela Merkel has | :30:10. | :30:11. | |
launched a thinly-veiled The Chancellor stressed | :30:12. | :30:12. | |
the importance of tackling climate This is all part of the build-up | :30:13. | :30:15. | |
to the G20 meeting next week. Since the United States' decision | :30:16. | :30:24. | |
to leave the Paris climate deal, we are more determined than ever | :30:25. | :30:27. | |
to make it a success - the Paris climate deal | :30:28. | :30:30. | |
is irreversible and cannot be The third most senior man | :30:31. | :30:32. | |

to face child sex charges. Xi Jinping's made his first visit | :30:39. | :30:44. | |
to Hong Kong as China's leader. He confirmed China's | :30:45. | :30:47. | |
commitment to Hong Kong having a different governance system | :30:48. | :30:51. | |
to the Chinese mainland. And we have a report about how | :30:52. | :30:53. | |
a common pesticide is threatening the future of both the honeybee, | :30:54. | :30:56. | |
and the wild bee. Xi Jinping has made his first | :30:57. | :31:17. | |
visit to Hong Kong since This is to tie in with the 20th | :31:18. | :31:20. | |
anniversary of the UK Here are some of the pictures | :31:21. | :31:27. | |
we have of the visit. This isn't just about the past, | :31:28. | :31:31. | |
it's about the present. Great care is being taken to make | :31:32. | :31:33. | |
sure any pro democracy protestors And he's re-asserted | :31:34. | :31:36. | |
the "one-country, two systems" formula that has governed Hong Kong | :31:37. | :31:45. | |
since the British left. We'll get more on President Xi's | :31:46. | :31:56. | |
visit in just a moment, but before we do, let's hear | :31:57. | :31:58. | |
from the last governor of Hong Kong, the man in charge at the time | :31:59. | :32:01. | |
of the handover in 1997. That's him there with | :32:02. | :32:04. | |
Prince Charles there. He's been speaking to my colleague | :32:05. | :32:07. | |
Babita Sharma who asked, if - after 20 years - | :32:08. | :32:10. | |
the people of Hong Kong feel We have obligations to people in | :32:11. | :32:23. | |
Hong Kong. Their obligations included in the treaty between | :32:24. | :32:26. | |
Britain and China which the Chinese pretend doesn't involve us. We | :32:27. | :32:31. | |
should be standing up for people's writes in Hong Kong and for the | :32:32. | :32:37. | |
system which has made Hong Kong so special. You saw the scenes unfold | :32:38. | :32:41. | |
in 2014, what was your reaction to that and do you think the call for | :32:42. | :32:44. | |
independence of the young generation is the right one? What I thought | :32:45. | :32:51. | |
about those demonstrations in 2014 was what I guess most people thought | :32:52. | :32:58. | |
and they were not manufactured from outside, this was spontaneous within | :32:59. | :33:07. | |
Hong Kong. And was the most polite peaceful protest with a few odd | :33:08. | :33:13. | |
exceptions. They were the most polite and civil demonstrations | :33:14. | :33:19. | |
imaginable. It is crazy China has behaved in a way which treats them | :33:20. | :33:24. | |
as enemies and turns them off the very notion of being closely related | :33:25. | :33:30. | |
to the mainland. The one thing that they didn't know and I think it is | :33:31. | :33:35. | |
always a problem with big demonstrations, they didn't realise | :33:36. | :33:39. | |
the point at which they had won and that it would've insensible to stand | :33:40. | :33:43. | |
back and ensure all the pressure was on the other side because they had | :33:44. | :33:50. | |
won the moral high ground. And then what? You win the moral high ground | :33:51. | :33:56. | |
and where do you go? It is easier to put more pressure on the government | :33:57. | :33:58. | |
to have a proper and serious dialogue. One interesting thing from | :33:59. | :34:04. | |
the recent selection is the most popular candidate, twice as popular | :34:05. | :34:09. | |
as the person who one who was the guy at the time he suggested there | :34:10. | :34:12. | |
should be a dialogue with the students who said absolutely no who | :34:13. | :34:19. | |
one which is I guess pretty sad. Where I disagreed with the students | :34:20. | :34:24. | |
and I went and spoke to 800 of them at Hong Kong University when I was | :34:25. | :34:32. | |
in Hong Kong last November, is over the campaign for democracy to morph | :34:33. | :34:39. | |
into a campaign for independence. I think it's eyelid support for | :34:40. | :34:44. | |
democracy and it plays into the hands of the hardliners in Beijing. | :34:45. | :34:49. | |
What is the alternative than not they call for independent? The | :34:50. | :34:54. | |
alternative is to give people a greater say over their own way of | :34:55. | :35:00. | |
life. I feel Hong Kong is still a very special place but what of the | :35:01. | :35:03. | |
most important is the way the people have behaved in showing their | :35:04. | :35:09. | |
commitment to pluralism and I think that is what will keep Hong Kong | :35:10. | :35:11. | |
special. Helier Cheung is reporter | :35:12. | :35:11. | |
here in the BBC newsroom and was out I asked her what she made | :35:12. | :35:14. | |
of President Xi's visit so far. It is a carefully choreographed | :35:15. | :35:26. | |
visit of course. Tomorrow he goes to a banquet and a variety show and | :35:27. | :35:32. | |
then on Saturday the big day he goes to a flag raising ceremony and a | :35:33. | :35:37. | |
fireworks display. It is carefully choreographed but for everyday Xi | :35:38. | :35:40. | |
Jinping is there a protest has been planned. Either people supporting | :35:41. | :35:47. | |
the pro-independence movements or the pro-democracy movements. Plus | :35:48. | :35:52. | |
much more pro-democracy activists were arrested after a sit in. I | :35:53. | :35:57. | |
don't expect that to be in the Chinese media much because that is | :35:58. | :36:01. | |
not the story they want to tell, China wants to show this as a | :36:02. | :36:07. | |
patriotic moment. You have watched them closer, Hong Kong has changed | :36:08. | :36:11. | |
in the British was handed over to China, can you see marked | :36:12. | :36:15. | |
differences? In some ways it is similar because they have the common | :36:16. | :36:18. | |
law system which they inherited an English is still one of the official | :36:19. | :36:22. | |
languages. On the other hand it has moved closer to mainland China, for | :36:23. | :36:27. | |
example more than 10% of the population is from mainland China | :36:28. | :36:32. | |
and a lot of tourists come there. There is very much the sense that | :36:33. | :36:37. | |
the future and the continent depends on China. A lot of young people feel | :36:38. | :36:41. | |
pessimistic because they worry and claim China interferes more and more | :36:42. | :36:54. | |
and free speech is decreasing. Hong Kong may become just another is | :36:55. | :36:58. | |
Chinese city. Before we finish if people want to hold protests, will | :36:59. | :37:04. | |
there be allowed to? Protests are allowed in Hong Kong and Mike | :37:05. | :37:08. | |
mainland China are sung as they register in advance with the police. | :37:09. | :37:13. | |
Some places have been decided that they are far away from Xi Jinping | :37:14. | :37:16. | |
which is not what the protesters want. | :37:17. | :37:18. | |
We will have coverage of those ceremonious in the coming days. | :37:19. | :37:27. | |
Time for sport. We begin with the Cricket World Cup. A high quality | :37:28. | :37:33. | |
game early with Sri Lanka 's Australia. As you suggested it was | :37:34. | :37:43. | |
an incredible game at Bristol where Australia beat Sri Lankan by eight | :37:44. | :37:48. | |
wickets but the favourites, the defending champions needed a | :37:49. | :37:50. | |
tournament record run chase to get there. Sri Lanka scored the third | :37:51. | :38:01. | |
highest score ever in women's one-day international cricket and it | :38:02. | :38:06. | |
was a big contribution to the total of 257-9. If that big school put the | :38:07. | :38:09. | |
pressure on Australia well it didn't show. Men planning made an unbeaten | :38:10. | :38:17. | |
152 and the defending champions chasing down their target with six | :38:18. | :38:23. | |
overs to spare. 262-2 at the end. Down the road at Taunton a | :38:24. | :38:27. | |
comfortable win for India, the West Indies batted first in that game and | :38:28. | :38:34. | |
made 183-8. That was before there was an unbeaten century. India lost | :38:35. | :38:41. | |
three wickets in chasing down their target with seven overs left in that | :38:42. | :38:46. | |
game. Quickly talking about the federation 's cup in Russia before | :38:47. | :38:49. | |
you tell me the results explain what it is because I'm not sure everybody | :38:50. | :38:54. | |
follows it in that much detail. Fairly straightforward, eight teams | :38:55. | :38:58. | |
involved in the federation 's cup from all over the world and many | :38:59. | :39:04. | |
have one. The continental competitions, Germany involved in | :39:05. | :39:07. | |
the world champions in those eight teams have been whittled down. The | :39:08. | :39:13. | |
tournament is basically the traditional warm up occasion for the | :39:14. | :39:16. | |
following year's World Cup and that too of course is being held in | :39:17. | :39:22. | |
Russia. Germany will play Chile in the final of the tournament and | :39:23. | :39:28. | |
Germany completed a 4-1 win over Mexico. Do they urge you to try to | :39:29. | :39:42. | |
get a chance to look at the consolation goal. A thunderous | :39:43. | :39:46. | |
strike from 30 yards out, the final is in Saint Petersburg in a stadium | :39:47. | :39:50. | |
that cost $1 billion to build on Sunday. I get this. I'm going to | :39:51. | :39:56. | |
look at the goal and the stadium. Tour de France gets under way on | :39:57. | :39:58. | |
Saturday with a time trial in Dusseldorf. A party atmosphere here | :39:59. | :40:12. | |
in Dusseldorf. We are on the banks of the Rhine river and the fans are | :40:13. | :40:16. | |
welcoming the riders, there has been an official presentation made and it | :40:17. | :40:19. | |
is all ahead of the grand depart which is Saturday. An individual | :40:20. | :40:25. | |
time trial around the streets of Dusseldorf, there is big, bright | :40:26. | :40:30. | |
first, bikes and there is a great atmosphere as people look forward to | :40:31. | :40:34. | |
celebrating the start of the Tour de France. Away from the party there | :40:35. | :40:37. | |
are serious issues, not least on the road between Richie Porte and Chris | :40:38. | :40:43. | |
Froome, the tea favours. Also reputational issues and for the | :40:44. | :40:49. | |
wider world of cycling given some of the issues. Lots to play for, all | :40:50. | :40:58. | |
will fancy it, everybody looking forward to the start of the race on | :40:59. | :41:01. | |
Saturday. You heard Richard talking about the two favourites - three | :41:02. | :41:03. | |
time winner Chris Froome and this man here - Australian Richie Porte. | :41:04. | :41:06. | |
Yesterday we heard from Chris Froome - today lets hear how Richie Porte | :41:07. | :41:18. | |
is feeling ahead of the race. Of course the season has gone well so | :41:19. | :41:21. | |
far but like we said this is the biggest race and the big girl, I | :41:22. | :41:27. | |
think I have eight talented team-mates to support the and a lot | :41:28. | :41:32. | |
of guys behind the scenes as well, it is a fantastic team. We will do | :41:33. | :41:37. | |
our best and obviously that podium in Paris was the goal and I think we | :41:38. | :41:43. | |
have the right team and I'm ready to do my best to get there. Chris is | :41:44. | :41:48. | |
obviously the one with the biggest target on his back, he is the | :41:49. | :41:54. | |
defending champion and I think it will be between not only Chris and | :41:55. | :42:00. | |
I, there are so many brilliant Micro says so you cannot just focus on the | :42:01. | :42:04. | |
two guys. It is more than a two horse race. Yesterday we talked | :42:05. | :42:07. | |
about the Australian jockey Michelle Payne. She'd tested positive for a | :42:08. | :42:09. | |
banned appetite suppressant. She'd already admitted the offence - and | :42:10. | :42:11. | |
now she's banned for a month. She's down to return to racing at Ascot in | :42:12. | :42:13. | |
August. She won the Melbourne cup in 2015. | :42:14. | :42:32. | |
Lots more sports news on the BBC News that if you'd like access it. | :42:33. | :42:36. | |
Next story we have covered times... We've reported many times | :42:37. | :42:39. | |
on the Cholera outbreak in Yemen - it's now affected more than two | :42:40. | :42:41. | |
hundred thousand people. The death toll has reached more | :42:42. | :42:43. | |
than 1300 as a lack of clean drinking water and the ongoing civil | :42:44. | :42:46. | |
war take their toll. The BBC's Faisal Ur-shade | :42:47. | :42:49. | |
Irshaid has more. Cholera is a disease that affects | :42:50. | :42:56. | |
the weakest in society. It takes grip on both | :42:57. | :43:00. | |
the young and the elderly. As this outbreak spreads | :43:01. | :43:03. | |
across Yemen, it's becoming clear this war-torn country is unable | :43:04. | :43:10. | |
to cope with another crisis. This hospital in the capital says | :43:11. | :43:14. | |
it's receiving hundreds of new cases every day, | :43:15. | :43:16. | |
leaving wards full of patients She contracted the | :43:17. | :43:18. | |
disease five days ago. Without the hospital staff, | :43:19. | :43:28. | |
my daughter would have died. We ask the world to provide | :43:29. | :43:30. | |
us with more medicine. TRANSLATION: My mother | :43:31. | :43:36. | |
felt ill suddenly. Anyone with symptoms should not | :43:37. | :43:37. | |
hesitate and get medical help The situation in here | :43:38. | :43:40. | |
is getting worse. The hospitals do not | :43:41. | :43:44. | |
have any spare beds. Outside the hospital, | :43:45. | :43:48. | |
tents have been set up But, with so many cases, people | :43:49. | :43:50. | |
are treated where there is space. The health care system in Yemen | :43:51. | :43:57. | |
is already on the brink of collapse. Half the country's hospitals | :43:58. | :44:00. | |
and clinics have closed. Leaving places like | :44:01. | :44:04. | |
this overwhelmed. TRANSLATION: At the moment, | :44:05. | :44:12. | |
we receive two to four We are counting on international | :44:13. | :44:14. | |
and regional humanitarian organisations to increase | :44:15. | :44:26. | |
their support for Yemen. The disease is spreading very | :44:27. | :44:28. | |
rapidly and we treat patients all the time, | :44:29. | :44:30. | |
but the centre lacks So why is it proving very | :44:31. | :44:32. | |
difficult to help Yemen? Dozens of aid agencies | :44:33. | :44:38. | |
work in the country, but some complain the work | :44:39. | :44:40. | |
is being slowed down On top of this, access | :44:41. | :44:42. | |
to the affected areas Shortage of fuel and damaged roads | :44:43. | :44:46. | |
mean that supplies often don't Awareness of the waterborne disease | :44:47. | :44:52. | |
is growing in the capital. But, in rural areas, | :44:53. | :44:56. | |
where most of the cases occur, Over 200,000 people are now | :44:57. | :44:58. | |
suspected of having cholera. And, without outside help, | :44:59. | :45:03. | |
aid agencies warn that figure more background you can find that | :45:04. | :45:05. | |

Source - still to come. This common pesticide harms both | :45:27. | :45:28. | |
honeybees and wild bees - that's according to the most | :45:29. | :45:30. | |
extensive study to date. The family of the last person to die | :45:31. | :45:41. | |
from injuries sustained in the Hillsborough disaster have | :45:42. | :45:44. | |
told the BBC they're "hugely disappointed" | :45:45. | :45:46. | |
that his death has been excluded from the newly-announced | :45:47. | :45:48. | |
manslaughter prosecution. Tony Bland's life support was | :45:49. | :45:51. | |
removed four years after the 1989 His father has been speaking | :45:52. | :45:54. | |
exclusively to Judith Moritz. The chants have always been for the | :45:55. | :46:16. | |
justice of 96, that number so much a part of Hillsborough. Now one stands | :46:17. | :46:24. | |
apart. Tony Bland died four years after the disaster. Severely | :46:25. | :46:27. | |
brain-damaged, his life support was withdrawn after his family fought | :46:28. | :46:32. | |
for that right. I wouldn't want to wish it on anybody. Awful. Tony's | :46:33. | :46:39. | |
Father Alan still remembers how painful it was. Does it feel as | :46:40. | :46:44. | |
though Tony died then or at Hillsborough? At Hillsborough. It | :46:45. | :46:50. | |
sounds cynical but we were left to pick up the pieces. Given that, how | :46:51. | :46:57. | |
do you feel about the decision not to include him in the manslaughter | :46:58. | :47:05. | |
case? Well really upset actually. Couldn't believe it, just couldn't | :47:06. | :47:11. | |
believe it. Tony's death four years after Hillsborough comes too late | :47:12. | :47:14. | |
all fallen to be included in the charges. You get the feeling, I | :47:15. | :47:21. | |
wouldn't say left out but the expectancy was we were all together | :47:22. | :47:24. | |
going along and in this legal thing split us all up. Do you still feel | :47:25. | :47:34. | |
part of the 96? Yes. We are delighted for the families. They | :47:35. | :47:39. | |
fully deserved it. Will you watch with interest the unfolding? Without | :47:40. | :47:45. | |
a doubt. Like I said over there for the families. You will continue to | :47:46. | :47:53. | |
support them? Yes definitely. Allen takes comfort from the inquest | :47:54. | :47:57. | |
verdict that all 96 were unlawfully killed. That he says is justice for | :47:58. | :47:59. | |
his son. We miss him. This is Outside Source live | :48:00. | :48:18. | |
from the BBC newsroom. German leader Angela Merkel says | :48:19. | :48:23. | |
the Paris agreement on climate change is non negotiable - | :48:24. | :48:25. | |
in a thinly-veiled attack on Donald Trump ahead | :48:26. | :48:28. | |
of next week's G20 summit. As we look ahead to the due 20 | :48:29. | :48:34. | |
summit in Hamburg. Really interesting story now | :48:35. | :48:38. | |
on second hand clothing Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, | :48:39. | :48:40. | |
Tanzania and South Sudan had planned to ban these | :48:41. | :48:45. | |
imports by 2019. The US said do this and it may | :48:46. | :48:49. | |
affect trade benefits. But Rwanda's President | :48:50. | :49:01. | |
has reiterated that its necessary to "grow and | :49:02. | :49:04. | |
establish our industries". This is made more complex | :49:05. | :49:13. | |
still because more of the clothes Nancy Kacungira is our | :49:14. | :49:16. | |
business reporter. I asked her which countries | :49:17. | :49:19. | |
were still planning At the moment Rwanda has the | :49:20. | :49:38. | |
strongest commitment and they have said they will go ahead the matter | :49:39. | :49:43. | |
what's threats are made. Kenny has backtracked on this and have pulled | :49:44. | :49:45. | |
out completely and said they will not go ahead on the ban on | :49:46. | :49:52. | |
second-hand clothes. Uganda is yet to respond to the latest | :49:53. | :49:58. | |
developments and so are other coaches. At the minute it is just | :49:59. | :50:04. | |
Rwanda saying this. Why are the American subsets? It's interesting. | :50:05. | :50:12. | |
This was brought up by a group and they have said since the decision | :50:13. | :50:16. | |
has been made they have seen 5000 jobs in the private sector lost. | :50:17. | :50:20. | |
Because of the higher taxes East African region and then they then | :50:21. | :50:24. | |
they say they are soon 19,000 jobs at the non-for-profit sector that | :50:25. | :50:30. | |
deals with used clothing. They said this will cause economic hardship in | :50:31. | :50:34. | |
the US which is quite a shift. You wouldn't think this would be so | :50:35. | :50:37. | |
important to them but it is. You reported this on a number of | :50:38. | :50:42. | |
countries in East Africa, do you agree on the analysis that all of | :50:43. | :50:45. | |
these crows coming into the region are damaging the local industries? | :50:46. | :50:50. | |
They are between a rock and a hard place at the moment, it does make | :50:51. | :50:53. | |
sense for a country like Rwanda will Uganda and Tanzania because what | :50:54. | :50:58. | |
they bring in from the US is much larger than what they export which | :50:59. | :51:02. | |
is not the same for Kenya for instance. You have $300 million | :51:03. | :51:09. | |
worth of clothing imports coming into those three countries and what | :51:10. | :51:13. | |
is going out this $43 million so they don't have a lot to lose in | :51:14. | :51:17. | |
terms of what they are exporting to the United States that if they did | :51:18. | :51:20. | |
revive local manufacturing industries then that would make huge | :51:21. | :51:25. | |
difference for them. 80% of the closing Uganda second-hand and I | :51:26. | :51:30. | |
have been to factories and seen how they are struggling, they are | :51:31. | :51:32. | |
relegated to school in prison uniform just because they cannot | :51:33. | :51:37. | |
compete with the imports coming in at cheap prices. I'm sure there are | :51:38. | :51:41. | |
people watching now who have donated clothes feeling like they are doing | :51:42. | :51:44. | |
a good thing helping people out from lower incomes, they might be | :51:45. | :51:50. | |
surprised? It's really isn't that simple because there are a lot of | :51:51. | :51:54. | |
things involved, even if you did band are used clothing there is a | :51:55. | :51:58. | |
question of your industry well place enough to be able to fill the gap | :51:59. | :52:02. | |
was back can they produce the economies of scale things that are | :52:03. | :52:05. | |
cheaper for lower income earners to buy. So it is not as simple as it | :52:06. | :52:12. | |
seems, it is rather complicated that what is interesting is that there is | :52:13. | :52:17. | |
a direct link between tax policy in East Africa and jobs in the US. | :52:18. | :52:18. | |
Thanks. New report from Rebecca Morelle - | :52:19. | :52:20. | |
it's about how a common pesticide is damaging to bees | :52:21. | :52:23. | |
around the world. Around the world, these | :52:24. | :52:25. | |
vital pollinators are Now a major new study has revealed | :52:26. | :52:33. | |
the role of pesticides The chemicals were used | :52:34. | :52:37. | |
extensively for oilseed rape until a temporary | :52:38. | :52:43. | |
ban in Europe in 2013. Neonicotinoids really change | :52:44. | :52:49. | |
the way we use pesticides. Instead of spraying fields, seeds | :52:50. | :52:53. | |
are coated with the chemicals and this protects the crops | :52:54. | :53:00. | |
as they grow from insects. But now an experiment | :53:01. | :53:02. | |
on a vast scale spanning 2000 hectares, an area the size of 3000 | :53:03. | :53:06. | |
football pitches, has revealed that The scientists were given special | :53:07. | :53:10. | |
permission to use the banned chemicals at sites in the UK, | :53:11. | :53:15. | |
Hungary and Germany. There was a need to undertake a | :53:16. | :53:25. | |
large girl realistic field experiment to represent the effects | :53:26. | :53:28. | |
on pollinating the real world. Our findings are cause | :53:29. | :53:36. | |
for serious concern. We have shown for the first time | :53:37. | :53:38. | |
negative effects on neonicotinoids We have also shown | :53:39. | :53:41. | |
similar negative effects on while pollinators | :53:42. | :53:43. | |
like bumblebees and solitary bees. This is important because many | :53:44. | :53:45. | |
crops globally are insect pollinated, and without | :53:46. | :53:49. | |
pollinators, we would struggle For bumblebees, scientists | :53:50. | :53:51. | |
found that exposure to the chemicals resulted in fewer | :53:52. | :53:55. | |
queens, so fewer new heights. For honeybees, in two | :53:56. | :54:02. | |
out of the three countries, hives were more likely | :54:03. | :54:06. | |
to die off over the winter. These are neonicotinoids | :54:07. | :54:09. | |
treated seeds. But some farmers say | :54:10. | :54:12. | |
since the ban on their crops have been | :54:13. | :54:13. | |
attacked by pests. In the UK, oilseed rape | :54:14. | :54:15. | |
production has fallen by 20%. It creates vegetable | :54:16. | :54:18. | |
oil, cold-pressed. It is good for you | :54:19. | :54:22. | |
on salad dressings. We always want to grow | :54:23. | :54:26. | |
oilseed rape but without neonicotinoids technology | :54:27. | :54:28. | |
in difficult years, it will be more Some conservationists say these | :54:29. | :54:43. | |
findings should spell the end of the drug. | :54:44. | :54:43. | |
A major manufacturers as they are convinced that | :54:44. | :54:45. | |
The EU will soon decide whether to extend the ban. | :54:46. | :54:49. | |
But with Brexit for the UK, any decision may be short | :54:50. | :54:52. | |
And Rebecca ends this edition thank you very much for watching. | :54:53. | :55:11. | |
However, it is already a record-breaking wet June in | :55:12. | :55:17. | |
south-east of Scotland so things can only get | :55:18. | :55:18. |
