Earlier, North Korea said it would consider attacking the US territory | :00:07. | :00:30. | |
of Guam. Kenya's Electoral Commission says its voting system is | :00:31. | :00:34. | |
secure, that comes after the opposition candidate alleged it had | :00:35. | :00:38. | |
been hacked. We will take you live to Nairobi. More trouble for Trump | :00:39. | :00:41. | |
as reports surfaced that the house of the President's former campaign | :00:42. | :00:46. | |
manager Paul Monfort was raided by the FBI two weeks ago. And if you | :00:47. | :00:50. | |
want to get in touch, the hashtag BBC OS. | :00:51. | :01:07. | |
Welcome to Outside Source. I want to show you an extraordinary statement | :01:08. | :01:14. | |
from the head of the worlds most powerful military, General Jim | :01:15. | :01:16. | |
Mathis has issued a statement from the Pentagon that this warning. | :01:17. | :01:22. | |
Mathis said North Korea should seize any consideration of actions that | :01:23. | :01:26. | |
would lead to the end of its regime and the destruction of its people. | :01:27. | :01:31. | |
That follows sabre rattling reminders from the president | :01:32. | :01:34. | |
himself, saying his first order as president was to renovate and | :01:35. | :01:39. | |
modernise our nuclear arsenal. It is now far stronger and more powerful | :01:40. | :01:43. | |
than ever before. The tough rhetoric comes after this statement on North | :01:44. | :01:45. | |
Korea's state television. With medium to long-range strategic | :01:46. | :02:07. | |
ballistic Rossouw 's -- sick missiles, we have the ability to hit | :02:08. | :02:13. | |
US air bases on Guam. That followed Donald Trump was burst of anger when | :02:14. | :02:20. | |
he said any further missile launchers from North Korea would | :02:21. | :02:22. | |
result in fire and fury like the world had never seen. All of this | :02:23. | :02:26. | |
stemming from news reports that Pyongyang may now possess the beauty | :02:27. | :02:29. | |
to shrink any clear what had if it's a missile. Let us bring up our map | :02:30. | :02:34. | |
to show you the small island being threatened here, Guam. It is roughly | :02:35. | :02:37. | |
three and a half thousand kilometres from North Korea and if we go in | :02:38. | :02:42. | |
closer, you can see why it has been highlighted as a target by North | :02:43. | :02:48. | |
Korea. A naval base and an Air Force Base where US strategic bombers are | :02:49. | :02:53. | |
capped. It just so happens the US Secretary of State, the top | :02:54. | :02:56. | |
diplomat, Rex Tillerson, has been visiting Guam today. This is what he | :02:57. | :03:02. | |
said. What the President was doing is sending a strong message to North | :03:03. | :03:06. | |
Korea in language Kim Jong-un would understand, because he is not seem | :03:07. | :03:11. | |
to understand diplomatic language. Let's consider this a bit. We can | :03:12. | :03:14. | |
pass to Jane O'Brien in Washington for us, Jane, you might have | :03:15. | :03:19. | |
expected the Pentagon to try to row back a bit of the president has | :03:20. | :03:24. | |
said. But no, quite the other way? I think it is all a matter of | :03:25. | :03:29. | |
emphasis. I think there was a slight and nuanced change of language | :03:30. | :03:33. | |
between what you heard the secretary of defence Jim Mathis say on the | :03:34. | :03:38. | |
president, because the president was saying, warning North Korea about | :03:39. | :03:42. | |
threats. Jim Mathis is warning North Korea of the consequence of its | :03:43. | :03:48. | |
actions. It should stop actions which would lead to the destruction | :03:49. | :03:51. | |
of its people and the collapse of the regime. Talking about losing a | :03:52. | :03:56. | |
war that it initiates. I think there is a slight change of emphasis, but | :03:57. | :04:00. | |
yes, still very much emphasising this strong language, this strong | :04:01. | :04:05. | |
deterrent language that we heard from Donald Trump. Very different to | :04:06. | :04:10. | |
the diplomacy from Rex Tillerson, who is talking about diplomacy as | :04:11. | :04:14. | |
being the way forward. It is working, we are seeing pressure from | :04:15. | :04:19. | |
China, and that the end goal for him is talks with Pyongyang. I have had | :04:20. | :04:24. | |
quite a lot of talk about the danger of backing North Korea into a | :04:25. | :04:28. | |
corner. I suppose the only way to avoid doing that is some sort of | :04:29. | :04:34. | |
talks. That's right, and leaving North Korea a way out, which is | :04:35. | :04:37. | |
something else that Rex Tillerson brought up. The issue is that North | :04:38. | :04:43. | |
Korea does not seem to want to engage in any talks, it is rebuffing | :04:44. | :04:46. | |
approaches from South Korea in the last week or so, and there seems to | :04:47. | :04:51. | |
be very little incentive for aid to want to talk to the US, which it | :04:52. | :04:55. | |
regards as an existential threat. There in lies the danger of the sort | :04:56. | :05:00. | |
of rhetoric we are hearing from Donald Trump, because although his | :05:01. | :05:04. | |
supporters say that it shows resolve and shrank, it could also be | :05:05. | :05:08. | |
interpreted as preparing for a military attack. We simply do not | :05:09. | :05:11. | |
know which way the regime is going to take it. Further complicated by | :05:12. | :05:16. | |
the fact there are no diplomatic relations between Pyongyang and | :05:17. | :05:19. | |
Washington. There are no embassies, so there is not that | :05:20. | :05:24. | |
behind-the-scenes ambassador talk going on. It is all on open display, | :05:25. | :05:29. | |
it is all coming from the horse's mouth, as it were. In this case from | :05:30. | :05:34. | |
Donald Trump, apparently making spur of the moment comments on a very | :05:35. | :05:41. | |
serious issue. This talk of possible pre-emptive military action, do we | :05:42. | :05:43. | |
know how that is going down with the American public? I do think anyone | :05:44. | :05:52. | |
thinks that military action is a good idea. Certainly the White House | :05:53. | :05:56. | |
is talking about it very much as a matter of last resort. There has | :05:57. | :06:02. | |
been some criticism of this, Donald Trump has been criticised by members | :06:03. | :06:06. | |
of his own party today for ratcheting up the rhetoric. It is | :06:07. | :06:13. | |
something that everybody would seek to avoid. According to Rex Tillerson | :06:14. | :06:18. | |
again, the voice of moderation in all this, relatively speaking, he | :06:19. | :06:21. | |
says he has seen nothing in the last 24 hours that would suggest any kind | :06:22. | :06:27. | |
of imminent military action. Thanks very much. China has experienced two | :06:28. | :06:31. | |
earthquakes in the last 24 hours. The two quakes struck places on | :06:32. | :06:35. | |
opposite sides of the country. An all-out rescue and recovery effort | :06:36. | :06:40. | |
is now underway. 6.6 magnitude tremor struck the remote area, | :06:41. | :06:49. | |
injuring 32 people. Across the country, 19 people are confirmed to | :06:50. | :06:53. | |
have been killed in an earthquake in Sichuan province. The full extent of | :06:54. | :07:01. | |
the damage still is not known. The aftermath of Tuesday's earthquake | :07:02. | :07:07. | |
still haunts rescue crews. More than 1000 after-shocks have been | :07:08. | :07:09. | |
detected, some triggering landslides. A highway bound for a | :07:10. | :07:17. | |
popular mountain tourist spot in this county was cut off, trapping | :07:18. | :07:21. | |
more than 100 people. The road at self sustaining serious damage. The | :07:22. | :07:30. | |
7.0 magnitude earthquake hit the county just after 9pm local time on | :07:31. | :07:35. | |
Tuesday. Up to 45,000 people have been evacuated from the damaged | :07:36. | :07:41. | |
areas. The government has called for an all-out rescue and recovery | :07:42. | :07:46. | |
effort, but the Red Cross Society of China says it will still be some | :07:47. | :07:49. | |
time before we know the extent of the damage and the number of | :07:50. | :07:56. | |
casualties. 2000 kilometres away in the remote north-west, they are | :07:57. | :08:00. | |
dealing with another serious earthquake. This one struck on | :08:01. | :08:04. | |
Wednesday morning, further stretching the country's resources. | :08:05. | :08:10. | |
Leaving hundreds more to spaced -- leaving hundreds more displaced. Six | :08:11. | :08:15. | |
French soldiers have been injured, two seriously after a car was driven | :08:16. | :08:19. | |
into them while they were on patrol in Paris. Counterterror police shot, | :08:20. | :08:22. | |
wounded and arrested a man on a motorway north of the capital. Our | :08:23. | :08:25. | |
correspondent Jonny Diamond reports from Paris. | :08:26. | :08:31. | |
Paramedics swarm around injured soldiers. | :08:32. | :08:32. | |
Just moments after a car ploughed into a military patrol. | :08:33. | :08:35. | |
Six soldiers were injured, three seriously, after the car, | :08:36. | :08:37. | |
waiting for the men, accelerated sharply and knocked them down. | :08:38. | :08:40. | |
Residents looked on as the emergency services went to work. | :08:41. | :08:54. | |
TRANSLATION: I heard a loud noise and I looked out my window, | :08:55. | :08:57. | |
I saw the ambulance and the fire engine arriving and I didn't go out. | :08:58. | :09:06. | |
It was a truly odious attack, said the neighbourhood mayor. | :09:07. | :09:10. | |
To target soldiers who were here to protect the French people. | :09:11. | :09:15. | |
After a morning of intense investigation, the operation | :09:16. | :09:21. | |
This is a quiet suburb, some distance from the bright lights | :09:22. | :09:25. | |
This morning's attack a reminder, if one were needed, that France | :09:26. | :09:30. | |
TRANSLATION: It's a problem for us French people | :09:31. | :09:36. | |
Even foreigners do not feel safe in France. | :09:37. | :09:41. | |
It ended with a hail of gunfire, the suspect's car brought | :09:42. | :09:44. | |
The country's long struggle with terror continues. | :09:45. | :09:47. | |
Counting is still underway in the Kenyan election. The Electoral | :09:48. | :10:04. | |
Commission 's website, let's have a look at that. It suggests the | :10:05. | :10:07. | |
incumbent president is in the lead. It has him over 50, and there is his | :10:08. | :10:14. | |
chief opponent. He has said the Electoral Commission 's IT system | :10:15. | :10:20. | |
has been hacked to manipulate the election results. Here he is | :10:21. | :10:25. | |
speaking a little earlier. TRANSLATION: | :10:26. | :10:31. | |
It is a complete fraud. Boats that were not cast. The electoral fraud | :10:32. | :10:45. | |
and publication of results is massive, and extensive. To the | :10:46. | :10:51. | |
extent that as a result of the 47 counties were manipulated. This | :10:52. | :10:57. | |
individual as part of the mystery. He said the hackers had used the | :10:58. | :11:00. | |
identity of this man to get access to the system. This is a man who had | :11:01. | :11:05. | |
been in charge of the electronic voting system until he was murdered | :11:06. | :11:10. | |
last week. A couple of hours ago, Ken is Electoral Commission caused | :11:11. | :11:13. | |
the nukes conference and here is what they said. -- Kenya is | :11:14. | :11:18. | |
Electoral Commission called a news conference. Before, during, and | :11:19. | :11:31. | |
after the voting. The RTS system is secure. A question about where it | :11:32. | :11:42. | |
was and the reports I saw, the database we were using. So that you | :11:43. | :11:53. | |
know, the IGS system is based on a database that is very different from | :11:54. | :12:02. | |
the alleged database. Our team has refused the alleged logs and | :12:03. | :12:07. | |
established that the claim has been made could not be substantiated from | :12:08. | :12:12. | |
our end. It's also worth mentioning this tweet from the head of the | :12:13. | :12:15. | |
African union observer mission, saying the judiciary as well | :12:16. | :12:19. | |
prepared to deal with any electoral disputes that may arise. The high | :12:20. | :12:27. | |
profile of this election internationally is in part due to | :12:28. | :12:31. | |
the fear that the closeness of the vote could lead to violence, as | :12:32. | :12:36. | |
happened ten years ago. So far the situation has remained relatively | :12:37. | :12:40. | |
calm. We have seen some scenes like this, just to show you. From an | :12:41. | :12:45. | |
opposition stronghold, you can see protesters lit fires, riot police | :12:46. | :12:53. | |
were also deployed. In Nairobi, witnesses told the BBC One person | :12:54. | :12:56. | |
was killed in a confrontation with police, but the government has | :12:57. | :13:00. | |
denied this. The BBC has a huge team in Kenya covering all aspects of the | :13:01. | :13:05. | |
election. Let's go to sue now, she is in the main counting centre in | :13:06. | :13:14. | |
Nairobi. Some reports of violence? As you mentioned, summer riots | :13:15. | :13:19. | |
reported in the Western town of casino that is the stronghold of the | :13:20. | :13:24. | |
opposition leader. As soon as he made a statement alleging that the | :13:25. | :13:29. | |
electoral systems had been hacked, people went into the streets. His | :13:30. | :13:35. | |
supporters protested, and write police were sent in to deal with | :13:36. | :13:40. | |
that situation. A similar scene in Nairobi. But right now it appears | :13:41. | :13:46. | |
everything is calm, people have really been anxious. It is a | :13:47. | :13:50. | |
weekday, and they would expect in Nairobi there is a lot of traffic on | :13:51. | :13:54. | |
the roads, but today the city was deserted. Except for a few people, | :13:55. | :14:03. | |
who went to open businesses in town. In Mombasa, people are really | :14:04. | :14:05. | |
anxious and waiting for the final result. Waiting to see what happens | :14:06. | :14:12. | |
afterwards. Worth reminding viewers outside Kenya this is a | :14:13. | :14:14. | |
long-standing rivalry between these two men. That's right. The | :14:15. | :14:21. | |
President's father was the founding president of Kenya, after | :14:22. | :14:28. | |
independence. His vice president was Mr Odinga's father, but the two men | :14:29. | :14:32. | |
fell out shortly after independence, and there has been this rivalry | :14:33. | :14:35. | |
going on between the families for decades. Thank you very much for | :14:36. | :14:40. | |
getting us up-to-date and they are from Nairobi. We will stay with that | :14:41. | :14:44. | |
story as it continues to develop. Stay with us an Outside Source. | :14:45. | :14:48. | |
Still to come... Just how long did the Netherlands know about a | :14:49. | :14:51. | |
dangerous contamination of eggs? Belgium claims it may have been as | :14:52. | :15:01. | |
long ago as last November. 18 people have been found guilty of the sexual | :15:02. | :15:05. | |
exploitation of vulnerable young girls and women in Newcastle. Police | :15:06. | :15:11. | |
had to pay a convicted child rapist ?10,000 for information. Earlier, | :15:12. | :15:14. | |
Chief Constable Steve Ashwin for Northumbria Police spoke to the BBC | :15:15. | :15:18. | |
and he was asked, was it necessary to pay for the information? Might | :15:19. | :15:21. | |
the informant had persisted for free? What we find in policing, | :15:22. | :15:28. | |
people give us permission for a range of motives. Some financial, | :15:29. | :15:31. | |
sometimes quite often with organised criminals for example, it is about | :15:32. | :15:37. | |
revenge. Upon a rival criminal. Some of them give us information for | :15:38. | :15:41. | |
moral reasons. They find it appalling and distressing that they | :15:42. | :15:46. | |
are part of all they know of a pattern of offending and they want | :15:47. | :15:49. | |
to tell us about it for the right reasons. You would expect us to | :15:50. | :15:54. | |
explore all those reasons with our information, I simply cannot tell | :15:55. | :15:57. | |
you standing here now exactly whether that was increment. I would | :15:58. | :15:59. | |
expect it to have been covered with that informant. | :16:00. | :16:09. | |
You are watching Outside Source, live from the BBC newsroom. Our lead | :16:10. | :16:15. | |
story: the US Defence Secretary Jim Agassiz told North Korea to avoid | :16:16. | :16:18. | |
actions that could usher in the destruction of its people. The | :16:19. | :16:22. | |
latest in a war of words between the US and North Korea. Let's look at | :16:23. | :16:27. | |
some of the stories making news around the BBC's other services. | :16:28. | :16:32. | |
Zimbabwe's cash-strapped government can suspend $1 billion to build a | :16:33. | :16:37. | |
university to honour 93-year-old president Robert Mugabe. | :16:38. | :16:40. | |
Construction would cost around 800 million, with a further 200 million | :16:41. | :16:45. | |
put aside for endowments to fund research and innovation. The | :16:46. | :16:48. | |
university will be built north of the capital Harare, and that is on | :16:49. | :16:54. | |
BBC I freak. Former world number one golfer Tiger Woods has pleaded not | :16:55. | :16:57. | |
guilty to driving under the influence. But has accepted a lesser | :16:58. | :17:00. | |
charge of reckless driving. The 41-year-old was arrested in May on | :17:01. | :17:04. | |
suspicion of driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol. There | :17:05. | :17:09. | |
were breathalyser found no trace of alcohol in his system. That story is | :17:10. | :17:13. | |
on the BBC World Service. This story is one of the most read and viewed | :17:14. | :17:18. | |
stories online, that is a humpback whale leaping out of the water off | :17:19. | :17:20. | |
the coast of St John's Newfoundland in Canada. Three people in the vote | :17:21. | :17:26. | |
were simply out fishing, thankfully one was armed with a camera. | :17:27. | :17:32. | |
Millions of eggs have been taken from the shelves in Belgium, and | :17:33. | :17:36. | |
there is a row about why. Belgium has accused the Netherlands of | :17:37. | :17:39. | |
numbing about a potentially dangerous contamination since late | :17:40. | :17:44. | |
last year. Let's look at this. Belgian officials had already | :17:45. | :17:47. | |
admitted to knowing in June that Dutch eggs might contain a harmful | :17:48. | :17:52. | |
insecticide. The information was not made public until a month later. | :17:53. | :17:56. | |
That was widely criticised across Europe. Now, Belgian's agriculture | :17:57. | :18:05. | |
Minister says that the Netherlands may have known about the problem as | :18:06. | :18:09. | |
far back as last November. What is involved here? It is fibrin alba | :18:10. | :18:14. | |
talking about, the contaminants that can harm the kidneys, thyroid | :18:15. | :18:21. | |
glands. He is Adam Fleming in Brussels. Belgian MPs interrupted | :18:22. | :18:28. | |
their summer holidays today so they could quiz the head of the Food | :18:29. | :18:32. | |
Standards Agency and also the agriculture and public health | :18:33. | :18:35. | |
minister here in Belgium. The Belgian government is fighting | :18:36. | :18:37. | |
against this allegation that they knew for quite some time that there | :18:38. | :18:41. | |
could be a problem with these contaminated eggs. But they failed | :18:42. | :18:44. | |
to pass that information on to their European neighbours. They are | :18:45. | :18:49. | |
fighting against the allegation by saying, Thailand, we actually asked | :18:50. | :18:53. | |
to be Dutch authorities for information in June, which took them | :18:54. | :18:58. | |
a whole month to provide. A Belgian minister also suggested the Dutch | :18:59. | :19:01. | |
may have, where a potential problem as problem as early as November last | :19:02. | :19:05. | |
year, much earlier than people thought. The priority here is still | :19:06. | :19:09. | |
protecting public health, the health minister says there is very little | :19:10. | :19:13. | |
risk to the public 's help, because you would have to consume vast | :19:14. | :19:17. | |
quantities of these contaminated eggs to feel any ill effects. | :19:18. | :19:22. | |
Nonetheless, a third of Dutch poultry farms are still closed as a | :19:23. | :19:27. | |
precaution. Last week, the German government removed 3 million eggs | :19:28. | :19:32. | |
from the shelves. It does seem that the real effects here will not be | :19:33. | :19:35. | |
felt in people's health, but it will be felled to dramatically and | :19:36. | :19:42. | |
economically. OS business now, and the top story is our escalating war | :19:43. | :19:46. | |
of words between the US and North Korea. Let's see how the markets are | :19:47. | :19:51. | |
reacting. Michelle is there for us. Any movement? We have seen the | :19:52. | :19:57. | |
escalation of tension between US and North Korea actually has started to | :19:58. | :20:02. | |
weigh on investors minds. Just looking at how the markets finished | :20:03. | :20:07. | |
for the day, and the Dow is down about one, two tenths of a percent. | :20:08. | :20:12. | |
The SNP lost one tenth of a percent, so not major downgrades, but you are | :20:13. | :20:18. | |
starting to see a bit of nervousness. Investors are beginning | :20:19. | :20:24. | |
to put a bit of money into gold, the Swiss franc, investments that often | :20:25. | :20:28. | |
they think of as safe havens. It's worth pointing out that we are | :20:29. | :20:30. | |
coming off the back of a period where we have seen Wall Street | :20:31. | :20:35. | |
eating fish record highs, so that may explain some of the declines. -- | :20:36. | :20:39. | |
we have seen Wall Street eating fresh record highs. I have a | :20:40. | :20:46. | |
question about Disney. It is massive and buying theme parks, blockbusters | :20:47. | :20:50. | |
like frozen, Star Wars and the Marvel series but the entertainment | :20:51. | :20:53. | |
giant is struggling to be profitable in the face of Lina competition, as | :20:54. | :20:57. | |
we found out today. It is axing a deal with Netflix and apparently it | :20:58. | :21:01. | |
will stream its own content. Tell us more. It has been an interesting | :21:02. | :21:06. | |
couple of days hearing from media companies here in the US. Disney is | :21:07. | :21:11. | |
the one that has drawn a lot of attention, because it is saying it | :21:12. | :21:16. | |
is going to pull its offerings away from Netflix, when that contract | :21:17. | :21:20. | |
ends. The will start its own streaming service is literally | :21:21. | :21:23. | |
trying to give its offerings direct to consumers. People in industry | :21:24. | :21:28. | |
have are looking at the profits of Netflix which continued to do better | :21:29. | :21:34. | |
than many people expected, as a result of that, companies are trying | :21:35. | :21:36. | |
to figure out how they should proceed. Here we have Disney, saying | :21:37. | :21:43. | |
hang on, we have content we can offer directly to consumers. It | :21:44. | :21:45. | |
comes at a time and some of their other businesses are not doing so | :21:46. | :21:50. | |
well. ESPN was long a very successful portion of its business, | :21:51. | :21:54. | |
a cable sports channel, he in the US. That has been a source of worry, | :21:55. | :21:59. | |
it's as subscribers have been dropping in advertising dollars have | :22:00. | :22:03. | |
been falling away. This may be an attempt by the company to pivot away | :22:04. | :22:08. | |
from that. Towards revenue from streaming, on the other side we have | :22:09. | :22:12. | |
heard from CBS earlier this week, they said they actually want to | :22:13. | :22:16. | |
launch an online sports network. They still think there is room to | :22:17. | :22:20. | |
grow in the franchise. We will have to wait and see how this all plays | :22:21. | :22:24. | |
out, clearly a changing landscape as the networks try to figure out what | :22:25. | :22:27. | |
to do and how to compete with the likes of Netflix. Quickly, what is | :22:28. | :22:32. | |
the thinking about how this affects Netflix? It is now focusing on | :22:33. | :22:37. | |
original content, with series like Schengen Things. It is making waves | :22:38. | :22:43. | |
on its own ground. They saw this coming perhaps. The deals they were | :22:44. | :22:47. | |
spending a lot of money trying to do licensing deals with various media | :22:48. | :22:57. | |
companies for the content. Going forward, they still rely on buying | :22:58. | :23:00. | |
up huge swathes of programming. Whether that will become more | :23:01. | :23:03. | |
difficult for the company going forward, one has to watch this | :23:04. | :23:07. | |
space. At the same time, you have other entrance into this field like | :23:08. | :23:12. | |
Amazon prime, developing their own streaming service and developing | :23:13. | :23:15. | |
their own content. For viewers, it is a great time to be watching | :23:16. | :23:20. | |
television. For the companies, very competitive. Thanks very much. It is | :23:21. | :23:27. | |
hard to believe exactly a decade ago, we were staring into a | :23:28. | :23:34. | |
financial abyss. On the 9th of August 2007, Banks family had | :23:35. | :23:36. | |
billions of dollars in toxic debt which could not be repaired and | :23:37. | :23:40. | |
lending to businesses and consumers dried up. The financial crisis that | :23:41. | :23:43. | |
followed is estimated to have cost the US economy alone a staggering | :23:44. | :23:49. | |
$22 trillion. One man in the eye of that storm was young prodigy Shea, | :23:50. | :23:53. | |
the boss of the European Central Bank. The idea that we could have | :23:54. | :24:00. | |
total evaporation, total desperation of a normal money market on one of | :24:01. | :24:05. | |
the two big money markets in the world was something which had not | :24:06. | :24:09. | |
been experienced since World War II. We were amazed, we had only a short | :24:10. | :24:16. | |
period of time, because if we had waited for one day, then we would | :24:17. | :24:21. | |
have a full day without any money market functioning in euros in the | :24:22. | :24:24. | |
morning, it was the only big-money market in the world. The New York | :24:25. | :24:29. | |
market was not open yet, so we decided to be extremely bold, and to | :24:30. | :24:35. | |
give all the liquidity which was asked by the banks, and they asked | :24:36. | :24:46. | |
us 95 billion euros. Before we finish this edition, I want to bring | :24:47. | :24:50. | |
you a story just coming into the newsroom, the United Nations | :24:51. | :24:53. | |
migration agency says up to 50 migrants have been deliberately | :24:54. | :24:57. | |
drowned by people smugglers off Yemen. Let's show you where we are | :24:58. | :25:01. | |
talking about here. It is understood the migrants mainly from Somalia and | :25:02. | :25:05. | |
Ethiopia had boarded a boat in the Horn of Africa, they were travelling | :25:06. | :25:09. | |
up the hope of eventually reaching a a Gulf country. They we are hearing | :25:10. | :25:15. | |
as they reached the migrant coast, they were forced into the sea. 29 | :25:16. | :25:22. | |
people were killed, around a hundred survived. 22 people are also | :25:23. | :25:26. | |
missing. A spokesperson for the International organisation for | :25:27. | :25:31. | |
migration said the smugglers deliberately pushed the migrants | :25:32. | :25:34. | |
into the waters since they feared they would be arrested by the | :25:35. | :25:37. | |
authorities once they reached the shore. The BBC will have more | :25:38. | :25:41. | |
details as they come in. You can always tell us what you think about | :25:42. | :25:46. | |
our stories, our developing stories, the hashtag is BBC OS. Of course we | :25:47. | :25:50. | |
have a lot more in terms of analysis and correspondent commentary on the | :25:51. | :25:55. | |
BBC website/ news. A lot more there on any of our running and running | :25:56. | :25:58. | |
stories. Do is stay with us. Tropical storm Franklin continues to | :25:59. | :26:14. | |
strengthen as he moves through the Bay of Campisi, we are taking a look | :26:15. | :26:15. |
