07/08/2017 Outside Source

This is Outside Source. We begin in south Africa where the speaker of

the Parliament has made a big announcement. I therefore determined

that voting on the motion of no-confidence in the President on

the 8th of August 2017 will be by secret ballot. We will explain why

that is so important. After a fresh UN sanctions over its recent missile

tests, north Korea has set back. We want to make it clear that the

worsening situation on the Korean peninsula as well as other nuclear

issues caused by the United States. With less than 12 hours to go until

people in Kenya go to the polls, we will speak to our correspondent in

Nairobi about what is expected to be a tight race. We look at how old

people in Gabon are tackling poaching. And in sport, we will

catch up with the latest from the Athletics World Championships.

Welcome to Outside Source. North Korea has reacted angrily to the new

sanctions applied in it by the US. Well, any statement on state

television, the country has said that it is ready to teach the USB

Sevilla lesson with strategic force if it faces military action over its

programme. It said it would retaliate thousands of times over

against the US for the losers sanctions. It said that a violent

infringement on its sovereignty was at stake. But north Korea was

represented at the summit in Manila and the spokesman also commented on

the situation. It is our nuclear position if it to the world or just

the US? We want to make it clear that the worsening situation on the

Korean peninsula as well as other nuclear issues caused by the United

States. We form we will never replace our nuclear and ballistics

missiles programme on the negotiating table and will not budge

one hinge on strengthening our nuclear armaments. That was the

statement given in Manila. One previous ambassador gave his

assessment on the losers sanctions. I believe these are the toughest

sanctions ever put on north Korea and what is more significant is that

China went along, they were pretty devastating, one thought of not

Cree's economy, coal, seafood, the foreign workers on oil, this could

bite them and so, north Korea so far, because China has put very

tepid sanctions on them, they might respond. I think there is the first

possibility given the north Korean reaction, a violent reaction to the

sanctions, that maybe we are getting the message that their top ally,

China, is not happy and perhaps it makes sense for them to go to the

negotiating table. We do not know but it is a good sign that the

sanctions are so strong and that China and Russia supported them.

That was Bill Richardson. You can see that Phil interview on world

News America later. The United States has been flying spy missions

over the Korean peninsula and our correspondent Rupert Wingfield Hayes

has been given exclusive action -- access to the military.

A relic of the Cold War and the last cold war frontier.

Just after dawn, I'm riding the chase car as a US

spy plane heads out on a classified mission.

The pilot will climb to 70,000 feet, and from there, peer

Our mission is to provide the capability for our

leadership to see what's going on before anybody else.

We're up there every single day to deter the North

Koreans from deciding one day they can get away with something.

From across the border tonight, fresh threats.

North Korean state TV warning the US it will pay 1000

times for its crime of imposing new economic sanctions on Pyongyang.

Meeting in Manila with China's Foreign Minister, the US Secretary

of State again called on Pyongyang to return to the negotiating table.

The best signal that North Korea could give us that they're prepared

to talk would be to stop these missile launches.

Here in South Korea at the 51st Fighter Wing, they

continue to hope for the best, whilst preparing for the worst.

Everybody we've spoken to here agrees that another conflict on

the Korean Peninsula would be an utter disaster for everybody.

That hundreds of thousands of people would die.

But they also say the best way of stopping it happening is

And that's why these guys practice and practice and practice -

so that Kim Jong-un knows that if he tries to attack the South,

there will be an overwhelming and immediate response.

I hope that North Korea calculates correctly and

So obviously, everyone on this side, and I believe

Should deterrents fail, though, we have to

As these 8Ns roll down the runway for another

practice flight, they are just 48 miles from the North Korean border.

The same distance as London to Brighton.

In South Korea, the enemy is never far away.

Rupert Wingfield Hayes, BBC News, the Osan air base,

In less than 12 hours, Kenyans go to the polls in a much anticipated

general election. We will also be deciding who will become the

country's next president between these two gentlemen. Many predict a

close race between incumbent Uhuru Kenyatta and the main opposition

leader Odinga. The BBC's saw the Enda Kenny is in the capital Nairobi

ahead of the vote. Both men are involved in this race. 5000

observers have given their views about the preparedness of the

Independent electoral and boundaries commission. They are raising

concerns of the opposition parties, regarding the voter register and

there are about 11,000 polling stations that do not have the 3G

network, that means that results will have to be scanned and sent to

the tallying centre. They are confident about the arrangements and

preparedness for these elections. Kenyatta has spoken to the nation in

his capacity as the president as opposed to his position as the

Jubilee party leader. He had pulled the country, whoever wants to vote,

they should vote for whomever they want. The candidate of their choice,

then go home and speak to the neighbours, have a cup of tea and

remember that we are all brothers and sisters. I spoke to the

country's interior Cabinet Secretary, who outlined measures

that the ministry has put in place in terms of security. 180,000 police

officers have been employed across the country, security has also been

given to the Independent electoral and boundaries committee officials

as well as the returning officers. Of course, the Hot Spot in this

country have also been beefed up. The polls open at 6am Kenyan time

and close at 5pm Kenyan time. We will monitor that for you. So for

the elections have been peaceful, ten years ago that was not the case.

In the west of the country there was bloody clashes following the

dispute. One town is in the county and locals have been working

together to ensure that the violence is not repeated. Our correspondent

has been you could tell us more. Grateful piece witnessed by the

elderly residents who witnessed much violence ten years ago. For many,

the memories are fresh in their mind but they are determined to prevent a

repeat of the bloody clashes. The violence in 2007 started in this

county, but now we are telling people, look out, we are geared

towards peace. The peace forum is going around the country, creating

awareness and making the residents own the peace. Tensions on the

streets are high. I have come to make Jon who is confident that the

situation will remain peaceful. Even though there is a problem, we cannot

do any business and so I expect peace, I do fear anything. We will

talk a lot about violence, otherwise I would have shut down my business a

long time ago. I do not have a problem but whoever is elected. The

reason that campaigns have been divisive and stalking political

discomfort is that people fear repeat of what happened here ten

years ago. Although there has been some problems in some parts,

religious leaders have been spreading the message of peace and

reconciliation. I want to emphasise that violence of the work of the

devil and politicians have decided to serve the devil. During their

campaigns they happen spreading hatred and evil. I am asking you to

go forward and go home in peace. Please pray that we have the peace

that comes from God. But with the election promising to be a tight

race, the stakes are high and the country remains in a mood of prayer.

The polls open in less than 12 hours and we will keep you updated. Let us

have a look at some of the sport news because there have been some

big events at the world athletic Championships right here in London,

where there were four gold medals. Let us speak to our correspondent...

Let us it can talk to others. Great! I am very relieved you are still

there because there has been a lot of news. Bring us up to date. Four

finals on this opening day of competition, the 110 meter hurdles

as just got off a moment ago. And McLeod of Jamaica, the Olympic

Champion is now the world champion. She beat Russian competitor was the

defending champion, running as a neutral champion. In the long jump,

Christine Taylor qualified in the men's competition. Jonathan Edwards

set the 1995 world record in Gothenburg. The Czech man won the

hammer throw. The Colombian reigning Olympic triple jump champion, he

laid at the moment. They are into their final jump. The current

Olympic Champion from Kenya, silver in 2015, Laura Muir of Great

Britain, the South African two time Olympic Champion and twice world

champion over 800m. Plus we have the reigning champion of tenure. Take

your pet, there are runners everywhere. Outstanding competition.

That might take your pick. Fantastic. Cycling News. The

two-time Tour de France winner Konta door has decided he will retire from

cycling after this month's Tour of Spain. The Spanish cyclist announced

on social media that the wealthy would be his final by grace, telling

us it with the decision you thought about and decided there would be no

better way to say goodbye than at a race of his home country. Here is

what he told us. He seems very happy but of course

that was a very difficult decision for him.

We will look at how the British Army has been enlisted to track down

elephant poachers in West Africa. New laws will be introduced giving

people greater control over what happens to the online personal data.

The government has said the legislation offers the right to be

forgotten. Our technology correspondent Rory Cellan-Jones has

more details about this story. Your data, a valuable resource

flowing around the world giving companies and governments all kinds

of intimate details about how you Now a new law is supposed

to give us all more The law is an opportunity to keep

up with the changing Companies will have more

accountability and consumers will The new law includes

a right to be forgotten, making it easier to find out

what data companies hold There will be an end to tick boxes

on websites which often see consumers handing

over data by default and the data watchdog

will be able to find up to ?70 million

entirely based on a major new European data protection

regulation that comes in next May. It is designed to tackle the power

of the giant firms which draw our We are now leaving a data trail

easier to wipe away things Though exactly how

much power the new law I think it is a start,

it puts a line in the sand certainly

achieve that objective is Our data is in the hands

to grips with very complex new rules or face the

threat of big fines. This is Outside Source live from the

BBC's newsroom. There has been a vote of no-confidence in President

Jacob Zuma and that will be held by secret ballot. It is seen as a test

of unity within the governing African National Congress party.

Senior figures are becoming increasingly critical of their

figure. We will come to Afghanistan where

officials have reported that Taliban sources and Islamic State fighters

have launched a joint attack on a village in which at least 50

civilians died, including children. This is where it has happened. The

BBC's colleague has more details from Kabul.

The battle here in the north of Afghanistan went on for 48 hours.

According to the local governor, 52 men, women and children were

brutally massacred. They have said it was a joint Taliban and IS

operation. This is a mainly Shia minority and they are supposed to be

the victims. So far IS has not commented on that attack but the

Taliban have claimed responsibility for only killing 28 local policeman

who they have said were resisting them. They have denied the killing

of women and children. Taliban and IS fighters usually

fight each other over territory in the east of the country, so if what

Afghan officials have said is true this could spell real trouble for

those struggling, especially the government. The commander of Nato

and American forces in April one this was a possibility and he said

that the entire world needs to be focused on Afghanistan. One expert

on Afghanistan from Chatham House addressed these fears when he spoke

to the BBC's David Eaves earlier on. The loyalties, especially north of

it Alice Dann has been fluent. -- fluid. The Central Asian militants

had allegiance to the Taliban leader, who then was a different

position. What we are seeing is a continuation of those relationships.

If it does point to a trend, I would be worried, but I do not think we

are at the point where we can see a coalition of Isis and the Taliban

together. Would you agree there is a certain resilience was IS in

Afghanistan that has certainly surprised the Americans? Let us not

forget that IS in Afghanistan is not the same as that in the Middle East

and in Iraq, for example. These militants have been in Afghanistan,

the Central Asian militants in particular, for a long time and

while we have been busy focusing on the south of Afghanistan where the

British troops have been based, in the north the situation always was

quite fragile... So they have a local support and recognition that

they are not an export, or an import, I should say? Exactly. To

look at everything as a trend, it is a problematic issue. Afghanistan is

suffering from various problems, including governance in the north

that has been really fragile. There have been local militias that were

installed as part of the Afghan security infrastructure, which is

partly responsible for a lot of the problems of security issues in the

North and also, I must tell you, that this particular attack has

happened in the northern province and the Afghanistan has been in a

next-door problems for a long time and they have tried to take it over.

This is a strategic population to see if they can capture the full

problems together. The British Army A75 poachers that

are threatening the existence of one species of African elephant. We have

been spent a gap and to help train wildlife officers tracking the gangs

who have been killing the animals for their ivory. Gavin is in the

west of Africa and is one of the worst affected states were tens of

thousands of forest elephants are being killed. Jonathan Beale has

been given exclusive access to the British soldiers carrying out their

training and I have to warn you, you could find some of these images in

his reports distressing. We are travelling through the second

largest rainforest in the world, trying to find an animal whose

numbers have declined by more than And this is about as close

as you'll ever get to them. We had to turn the engine

off and stay silent. They are much smaller

than the better-known savanna elephants but just as

vulnerable to poachers, who target them for the same

reason - their ivory. This is what's been

happening to them. It had been dead for weeks,

just the valuable tusks taken. Talking about Gabon,

I think we lost 30,000 It's a big and important

programme now for 85% off Gabon is covered

in rainforest that stretches for thousands

of square miles. This is the last century for

the elusive forest elephant but it is also ideal hiding

and cover for the poachers, who are killing them

at an alarming rate. And, with the help

of the British Army. For the first time,

we've been allowed to film the small team of UK soldiers,

who are helping train Gabon's National Park Agency in their fight

to save the elephant. Gabon has got a real high density

of forest elephants. That's why it's got

a poaching problem. Out here, training the Gabonese

National Parks Agency to combat that, both at the tactical

and operational levels, means that the British Army make a difference

in that fight against the illegal They've even brought in jungle

warfare specialists, who, in this exercise, show them how to find

and then arrest the poachers. But the British are

also teaching them the importance of recovering

evidence that might lead Among those being trained are former

poachers, who have now Ulrich says, as a boy,

he used to hunt elephants with That used to be tolerated

but not any more. These days, the greatest threat

to these elephants is not the locals but criminal gangs,

who operate across the border. We are faced with organised crime

cartels, heavily armed. And now we're in a situation where,

in some of our national parks, Even with a global ban

on the sale of ivory, there is And, hidden away in

these forests, these Jonathan's report is on our website

Thank you for joining me. We will take a look at the weather prospects

for the whole of the British hours for the next few days in just a
