:00:08. > :00:09.Hello, I'm Karin Giannone, this is Outside Source.
:00:10. > :00:12.In the days after he took office back in January,
:00:13. > :00:16.Donald Trump spoke to a number of world leaders.
:00:17. > :00:18.Now, transcripts of some of the conversations have been
:00:19. > :00:26.Venezuela's chief prosecutor opens an investigation into claims
:00:27. > :00:32.of fraud during the weekend's election of a new assembly.
:00:33. > :00:35.The head of the Libyan National Army warns Italian ships that approach
:00:36. > :00:45.Libyan waters without permission that they'll be repelled.
:00:46. > :00:52.And in the past few minutes, Paris St Germain have confirmed the
:00:53. > :01:07.signing of Brazilian striker Neymar on a five year contract.
:01:08. > :01:14.The Washington Post has released transcripts of conversations
:01:15. > :01:16.between Donald Trump and other world leaders from days
:01:17. > :01:19.The first is between the President and Mexico's
:01:20. > :01:23.Trade, the war on drugs, and of course, the wall -
:01:24. > :01:31.Mr Trump spent his campaign promising that Mexico
:01:32. > :01:37.would pay for a wall on the America's southern border.
:01:38. > :02:13.Let's go over to our Washington correspondent. How did all this
:02:14. > :02:18.emerge? It was transcript of conversation which happened in the
:02:19. > :02:22.first month of his presidency, leaked to the Washington post who
:02:23. > :02:26.published the entire transcript and their analysis of it. That was
:02:27. > :02:33.earlier today. We had heard details of this conversation, shortly after
:02:34. > :02:38.they took place, Donald Trump talking about bad people in Mexico
:02:39. > :02:42.dealing drugs with the president, and the fact that his conversation
:02:43. > :02:46.with the Australian Prime Minister Turnbull was less than friendly. The
:02:47. > :02:51.Trump administration denied some of this at the time, but now we have
:02:52. > :02:56.the physical transcript of what they said. And the details pretty much
:02:57. > :03:03.bear out those early reports. You mention Australia, let's turn to
:03:04. > :03:05.that. The conversation with the Australian Prime Minister Malcolm
:03:06. > :03:11.Turnbull, soon after it took place, it was leaked to the media that it
:03:12. > :03:16.was heated. It was over a promise by Obama for the US to take in more
:03:17. > :03:19.than a thousand asylum seekers held by Australia in detention centres.
:03:20. > :03:24.The transcript says that Mr Trump says that will make us look bad. I
:03:25. > :03:28.am calling for a ban were I'm not letting anyone in, and we take 2000
:03:29. > :03:30.people, this is going to kill me. After a long back and forth, the
:03:31. > :03:48.call and ended apparently with this. I remember at the time those reports
:03:49. > :03:56.that Donald Trump up the phone down and that was strenuously denied?
:03:57. > :04:00.Donald Trump himself tweeted that it was fake news and reports he has an
:04:01. > :04:09.unfunny conversation, he described as civil in his. Now we see the
:04:10. > :04:13.transcript, we see the truth. They sign off with pleasantries but you
:04:14. > :04:22.can tell the tone of it was not particularly friendly. Turnbull
:04:23. > :04:26.tried to explain his resettlement programme, and Donald Trump didn't
:04:27. > :04:34.seem to have a firm grasp on it. It wasn't 2000 people being resettled,
:04:35. > :04:38.it was 1250. As Turnbull told Trump, the US have the ability to not take
:04:39. > :04:41.any, just reviewing them and deciding who to take. It seems like
:04:42. > :04:45.Trump did not get a good briefing going in, that could be because the
:04:46. > :04:49.reports we had that the state Department was not involved in many
:04:50. > :04:51.of these phone conversations that Trump had with foreign leaders in
:04:52. > :04:56.his early days of the administration. Anthony, there is a
:04:57. > :05:00.wider point which David Frum of the Atlantic makes about this...
:05:01. > :05:03.Here's The Atlantic's David Frum: "Anybody who has access to this
:05:04. > :05:05.transcript also has access to many other secrets.
:05:06. > :05:08.Trusted people are breaking career-long habits to thwart Trump."
:05:09. > :05:16.The implication there that there could be more where this came from?
:05:17. > :05:20.There could be. This is not the first leak of sensitive national
:05:21. > :05:24.security information that has got out of the Trump administration. And
:05:25. > :05:29.even people on the Democratic side, from the Obama administration, have
:05:30. > :05:35.looked at this and would have thrown a bit if this happened in the Obama
:05:36. > :05:41.administration actual transcripts of private dialogue between foreign
:05:42. > :05:45.leaders. So yeah, it is evidence of the fact that there are people who
:05:46. > :05:48.have access to sensitive information trying to undermine the Trump
:05:49. > :05:52.presidency. The White House and Trump in particular point of this as
:05:53. > :05:56.another example why leaks need to break down. But then because we have
:05:57. > :05:59.it in our hands, we can get it and it does give an interesting insight
:06:00. > :06:01.into how Donald Trump operates behind the scenes. Thank you,
:06:02. > :06:05.Anthony in Washington. Venezuela's chief prosecutor has
:06:06. > :06:07.opened an investigation into claims of fraud during the weekend's
:06:08. > :06:09.election of a new assembly to The announcement came just hours
:06:10. > :06:13.after the company that carried out the vote,
:06:14. > :06:15.claimed the government had President Nicolas
:06:16. > :06:31.Maduro denies this. Let's hear from Katie Watson in
:06:32. > :06:36.Caracas. Just remind us why the Attorney General wants to do this,
:06:37. > :06:40.what are the claims? The claims are that the vote on Sunday, the numbers
:06:41. > :06:45.were inflated, the government said more than 8 million Venezuelans
:06:46. > :06:48.voted for the constituent assembly. But the voting company says actually
:06:49. > :06:55.that was inflated by around 1 million. That is being generous,
:06:56. > :07:00.that some people, some independent polls, saying the number was far
:07:01. > :07:03.lower than that. But President Maduro is defiant, saying 10 million
:07:04. > :07:11.Venezuelans want to vote but 2 million were held back by fires,
:07:12. > :07:16.barricades and bombs. So he is justifying it saying these numbers
:07:17. > :07:20.are correct. That is the fallout, the government is being accused of
:07:21. > :07:26.fraudulent voting and the government says it's not true. So they want to
:07:27. > :07:33.carry out a full investigation, how much power will she has and how will
:07:34. > :07:39.she be able to do what she wants? Luisa Ortega is one of Maduro's
:07:40. > :07:44.biggest critics, she is not a popular figure. The support she will
:07:45. > :07:48.have for this, well, we have already heard from the head of the electoral
:07:49. > :07:55.authorities saying that the comments on the voting London based company
:07:56. > :08:00.were baseless and irresponsible. And the government seems to be ignoring
:08:01. > :08:08.this. The government too much won't listen to Luisa Ortega on this one.
:08:09. > :08:11.They are convinced that this vote was fair and they will inaugurate
:08:12. > :08:17.the delegates on Friday afternoon, as planned. The opposition boycotted
:08:18. > :08:24.the selection, it went ahead anyway. What does the opposition plan to do
:08:25. > :08:28.now? They have been trying to hold a rally at the same time as the
:08:29. > :08:32.inauguration, it was meant to happen today but the inauguration got put
:08:33. > :08:36.back so that the rally back as well. On Friday, around midday, they will
:08:37. > :08:39.hold the rally from several points in parts of Caracas. This is what we
:08:40. > :08:43.have seen over the last few months, we have seen protests that have
:08:44. > :08:48.often turned violent and the government standing firm saying they
:08:49. > :08:55.are not going to be changing their tack. So we are as far removed from
:08:56. > :08:59.dialogue as a consensus as possible, two sides, the opposition and the
:09:00. > :09:04.government, do not see eye to eye and neither side looks like they are
:09:05. > :09:07.prepared to talk about it. Katie, thanks very much. Katie Watson in
:09:08. > :09:13.Caracas. In the last few minutes, we have
:09:14. > :09:21.heard the world record transfer of Neymar from Barcelona to Paris St
:09:22. > :09:29.Germain has gone ahead. Let's go to the BBC sports Centre, is the deal
:09:30. > :09:32.done? It is. Our sources say the 25-year-old Brazilian national
:09:33. > :09:37.Neymar has signed a five-year deal, in excess of $260 million, just let
:09:38. > :09:45.that sink in! That is a quarter of $1 billion. A press conference is
:09:46. > :09:50.due at 11:30am GMT on Friday, around 15 million dollars -- 50 million
:09:51. > :09:54.dollars more, which was Paul Pogba who moved from Juventus to Man
:09:55. > :09:59.United a year ago. He will earn more than $53 million a year, this is
:10:00. > :10:05.where it gets bizarre. The Spanish hierarchy at La Liga is represented
:10:06. > :10:17.and BSD were acting unlawfully. They urge them to abide by the rule. So
:10:18. > :10:23.what happened? Later on Thursday, Neymar's BSD paid the full amount at
:10:24. > :10:28.Barcelona's offices on Thursday. If you've got it, flawed it. He has to
:10:29. > :10:36.be pretty good to justify the money. What do Paris St Germain had to out
:10:37. > :10:46.of him? They want to win the Champions
:10:47. > :10:50.League. They have come close, in the quarterfinals, and with Neymar one
:10:51. > :10:54.of the big players with the three up front in Barcelona with Suarez in
:10:55. > :10:59.there and of course Lionel Messi, he will take away from that and become
:11:00. > :11:02.a great player in his own right. Paris Saint Germain hope he will
:11:03. > :11:07.spearhead their campaign in Europe and win the Champions League. How
:11:08. > :11:11.much hurt pride is there on Barcelona's part? I think there was
:11:12. > :11:17.a huge amount of lost pride. The fans have come out with signs of
:11:18. > :11:22.traitor. Because you look at what he has done and he has put up messages
:11:23. > :11:27.on Instagram, this is a huge deal. It is a huge move the Neymar. He
:11:28. > :11:36.came from Los Santos in 2013, he has problems with taxes and maybe he
:11:37. > :11:40.sees this as a clean break moving to PSG. Barcelona supporters won't
:11:41. > :11:44.forget this in a hurry. They have a new coach this year, Valverde, so
:11:45. > :11:49.difficult times and at the state of the season, where'd you get a player
:11:50. > :11:52.like Neymar? The La Liga season starts shortly. We will speak lately
:11:53. > :11:56.about other sport, thank you. So what will Neymars
:11:57. > :11:58.transfer mean for football? For more on this the BBC has been
:11:59. > :12:01.speaking with a number of experts. Firstly - here's football
:12:02. > :12:08.agent Sky Andrew. Neymar is one of the best players in
:12:09. > :12:13.the world. Under normal circumstances, a super team would
:12:14. > :12:21.not sold to a super-team, but he had a buyout clause. Of ?200 million,
:12:22. > :12:24.that's incredible. It's good for Qatar, because they are making a
:12:25. > :12:30.statement and people will start talking about Qatar and dump macro
:12:31. > :12:37.in a sort of positive manner and the focus is on them. -- Qatar and PSG.
:12:38. > :12:43.They are getting an astronomical amount of money for a player, as
:12:44. > :12:47.many would see it. No other team is capable of doing this, not even big
:12:48. > :12:53.teams in the UK can spend over ?400 million on a player. Everyone will
:12:54. > :13:00.ask some of the questions about financial fair play. But Qatar are
:13:01. > :13:01.involved with PSG. They have been involved in Barcelona, say they will
:13:02. > :13:04.make this work. Football agent sky Andrew talking
:13:05. > :13:20.before the deal was finalised. Kieran Maguire explaining the case
:13:21. > :13:23.Paris Saint Germain may put forward PSG top justify
:13:24. > :13:33.spending so much money have deals with commercial companies
:13:34. > :13:40.for Neymar. And also funding his contract. Look at him at the product
:13:41. > :13:43.-- as a product, Neymar has 170 million followers on Instagram,
:13:44. > :13:51.Twitter and Facebook. That is more than Manchester United Real Madrid.
:13:52. > :14:00.He is an individual brand were a hell of a lot of money. And PSG will
:14:01. > :14:04.want as much of a share of image rights as possible, to offset the
:14:05. > :14:10.cost of his employment. So the deal is done.

:20:25. > :20:28.air travel market, the airline has made a loss every year for the last
:20:29. > :20:33.seven years. That is due to high costs and many depths. The airline
:20:34. > :20:39.says things could improve by October but only if they get help now. They
:20:40. > :20:44.need a $60 million bailout, and the planes looked good in the adverts
:20:45. > :20:49.but they are expensive to keep in the sky. South African Airways's
:20:50. > :20:53.long haul fleet is mostly made up of gas guzzling aeroplanes, which are
:20:54. > :20:56.quite fuel inefficient, a disadvantage considering that their
:20:57. > :21:01.fuel costs in Africa are much higher than average. The airline says they
:21:02. > :21:05.have a plan to turn things around, but analysts have been crunching the

:21:09. > :21:11.in the US state of Mississppi are taking part in a landmark vote ,

:21:18. > :21:28.from Canton, Mississippi. Nissan has launched this major and
:21:29. > :21:33.Thai union campaign threatening and intimidating workers.
:21:34. > :21:40.We don't know what they are offering. We have a plan that we
:21:41. > :21:47.have do struggle and fight us to have the right to vote. The fight to
:21:48. > :21:53.form a union at the Nissan factory in canton, Mississippi. We are
:21:54. > :21:58.battling against not for the right to vote or not vote, but the right
:21:59. > :22:09.to manipulate or lie to each other. For 14 years, workers at the Miss
:22:10. > :22:14.Nissan plant have been engaged with a battle to form a union.
:22:15. > :22:20.Mississippi has been hostile to unions, but this time workers had
:22:21. > :22:27.they have a chance. I want to have health and safety, equal
:22:28. > :22:30.opportunities... I got heard on the line and I've been dealing with that
:22:31. > :22:36.the whole time. It's been a real process. I think the union would
:22:37. > :22:43.really stand up for us. But not everyone wants the union. It's the
:22:44. > :22:48.best thing to happen to the state of Mississippi, so we are campaigning
:22:49. > :22:54.hard to keep the union out. We don't need outsiders to tell us what we
:22:55. > :22:57.want doing. To get its message across, Nissan posted anti-union
:22:58. > :23:05.messages in the factory, now landing them in trouble with the Labour
:23:06. > :23:10.relations board. The company denied allegations of this, saying they had
:23:11. > :23:15.a right to know their perspective. For those that know the South's
:23:16. > :23:24.troubled past, it's not just about workers right but civil rights. When
:23:25. > :23:30.blacks would vote, someone would come with a hood bearing a cross.
:23:31. > :23:35.Now they come by, saying we are going to close the union and the
