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

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

to the Chinese mainland. And we have a report about how

a common pesticide is threatening the future of both the honeybee,

and the wild bee. Xi Jinping has made his first

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

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,

is getting worse. The hospitals do not

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

rapidly and we treat patients all the time,

but the centre lacks So why is it proving very

difficult to help Yemen? Dozens of aid agencies

: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
