:00:11. > :00:18.Hello. I'm Philip Thomas. This is outside source. The US Defence
:00:19. > :00:28.Secretary has sold North Korea to avoid events that could cause the
:00:29. > :00:36.destruction of its people. Earlier, North Korea had said that it would
:00:37. > :00:47.consider attacking qualm. More trouble for Trump as it emerged that
:00:48. > :00:54.the home of his campaign manager was raided earlier. And a new and
:00:55. > :00:58.surprising way to track penguins through their feathers. And we will
:00:59. > :01:13.have our daily update from the world athletics Championships.
:01:14. > :01:23.Welcome to Outside Source. This is Paul Munakr Ford, he was chairman of
:01:24. > :01:29.the Donald Trump Jr campaign at one point. We have just found out that
:01:30. > :01:38.the FBI conducted a predawn raid at his house. They said that Mr
:01:39. > :01:43.Manafort had consistently cooperated with the FBI and law enforcement
:01:44. > :01:47.enquiries and continue to do so. This is all about the question of
:01:48. > :01:53.whether Donald Trump Jr and his campaign colluded with Russia on his
:01:54. > :02:02.election campaign. What was the FBI looking for? Probably documents
:02:03. > :02:08.relating to Manafort's work with the Trump campaign and also documents he
:02:09. > :02:14.had about his work with foreign governments, particularly Ukrainian
:02:15. > :02:17.and Russian interests. If you remember during the campaign he
:02:18. > :02:21.denied any payments from Ukraine. He has since come out and said that was
:02:22. > :02:25.not accurate at acknowledging that he received millions of dollars from
:02:26. > :02:34.that government and had to register after the fact as foreign agent for
:02:35. > :02:40.Ukrainian interest. That is why possibly Mulder is investigating
:02:41. > :02:46.him. We knew that when this raid took place it was right before Paul
:02:47. > :02:50.Manafort testified before Senate investigators in the intelligence
:02:51. > :02:55.committee and was the same day that Donald Trump Jr sent out a Twitter
:02:56. > :03:00.storm talking about revoking the transgender policy in the military.
:03:01. > :03:04.Also being highly critical of the Attorney General Jeff Sessions and
:03:05. > :03:08.saying that he should investigate Hillary Clinton. It puts new light
:03:09. > :03:16.on Donald Trump Jr is mad behaviour that week, perhaps. This enquiry
:03:17. > :03:20.about alleged Russian meddling seems likely to run through Donald Trump
:03:21. > :03:25.Jr is my presidency. I think the biggest takeaway from this, we do
:03:26. > :03:38.not know what Robert Muller was looking for. We don't know what
:03:39. > :03:40.documents he found. Paul Manafort's people said that they were the same
:03:41. > :03:48.documents that would have been willingly provided. This is evidence
:03:49. > :03:53.of Mueller's muscle in this investigation. This is something
:03:54. > :03:59.clearly that is going to be going on for quite some time. Donald Trump Jr
:04:00. > :04:06.says this is a witchhunt. Is there a lot of sympathy for that view? Trump
:04:07. > :04:13.supporters certainly believe that this is which front. They say that
:04:14. > :04:24.this is an excuse for Democratic opponents to find some reason why
:04:25. > :04:26.Hillary Clinton lost. Outside, even conservatives are taking this
:04:27. > :04:30.investigation very seriously and are special counsel with these
:04:31. > :04:36.wide-ranging powers taking these actions are not something you can
:04:37. > :04:41.shrug off. This is an investigation carried out by a team of people with
:04:42. > :04:48.a lot of experience, a lot of depth of knowledge and criminal
:04:49. > :04:58.prosecution. We're going to take you to Venezuelan now. Another political
:04:59. > :05:01.storm. The assembly has held a meeting in defiance of the
:05:02. > :05:12.President's new constituent assembly. This was a really defiant
:05:13. > :05:20.statement. This was a tweet from the deputy leader there. They said it
:05:21. > :05:25.was a space for all Venezuelans. They said that is a struggle to the
:05:26. > :05:31.finish. This is clearly a particular showdown between the rival
:05:32. > :05:39.assemblies. It is also a territorial showdown. They have been meeting in
:05:40. > :05:42.the same complex in Caracas. In this very grand building. Both assemblies
:05:43. > :05:47.want to meet their although some opposition figures have been talking
:05:48. > :05:51.about being barred by government forces. Meanwhile, the constituent
:05:52. > :05:56.assembly, the new one, has passed a law creating a new truce commission.
:05:57. > :06:00.This would have the power to investigate what it has called acts
:06:01. > :06:05.of violence carried out with political motives or out of
:06:06. > :06:09.intolerance. Opposition leaders fear that those who have participated in
:06:10. > :06:14.months of anti-government protests will now be targeted. We heard more
:06:15. > :06:20.about the power struggle between the two assemblies. They are not only
:06:21. > :06:26.fighting about the building itself but about the big part of power in
:06:27. > :06:33.Venezuela. The constituent assembly says it has overarching powers over
:06:34. > :06:38.any other part of the government. Even the judiciary or the executive
:06:39. > :06:44.has two respond to them. Of course, the opposition controlled National
:06:45. > :06:52.Assembly, one of the last bastions of opposition says it is a step
:06:53. > :06:59.towards authority rule. The idea that they could try to prosecute
:07:00. > :07:02.people who have been involved in the opposition protest last months which
:07:03. > :07:11.have left many, more than 100 dead now. The new constituent assembly
:07:12. > :07:15.that backs President Maduro is having difficulty getting
:07:16. > :07:20.recognition in the Americas. Yesterday there was a strong
:07:21. > :07:24.declaration in Lima where several Latin American countries said that
:07:25. > :07:30.they were considering Venezuelan dictator because of the situation
:07:31. > :07:35.with the constituent assembly. Some people would be reminded of the
:07:36. > :07:37.situation several decades ago when Cuba first installed its Communist
:07:38. > :07:42.government and other countries on the continent tried to isolate them
:07:43. > :07:49.to dramatically. This is symbolically very important. Back in
:07:50. > :07:57.the time of Hugo Chavez they tried to become the original leaders,
:07:58. > :08:02.promoting parallel institutions in which Venezuela played a strong
:08:03. > :08:09.part. Now it is facing increasing diplomatic isolation within the
:08:10. > :08:12.Western Hemisphere. Let's get you a less sport. Another day has gone by
:08:13. > :08:18.in the world athletics Championships. Let's go over to the
:08:19. > :08:24.BBC sport centre. Hello. Tellers what's been happening to the
:08:25. > :08:26.Botswana athlete that we've all been following.
:08:27. > :08:29.Isaac Mkwala has endured a torrid past 48 hours having been initially
:08:30. > :08:33.withdrawn from the 200 heats on Monday, then withdrawn
:08:34. > :08:38.due to continuing concerns he had contracted norovirus.
:08:39. > :08:43.He wasn't allowed into the stadium by security, Botswana athletics
:08:44. > :08:46.and the IAAF have disputed each other's stories and then
:08:47. > :08:48.with his quarantine period having expired at 2pm British time.
:08:49. > :08:50.It was then confirmed he would run a heat
:08:51. > :08:54.by himself from lane seven where he was initially drawn.
:08:55. > :08:57.He qualified with a few push-ups to prove himself and then ran
:08:58. > :09:02.in the opening semi final from Lane One to qualify for the final.
:09:03. > :09:05.While in the third of the semi finals 400m champion Waydne van
:09:06. > :09:07.Niekerk also qualified for Thursday's final as a fastest
:09:08. > :09:15.Mo Farah got his bid for double gold underway in the last hour or so.
:09:16. > :09:18.The British runner claimed the first gold of the championships
:09:19. > :09:25.He's won double gold at the past two World Championships
:09:26. > :09:36.and past two Olympic Games and he's through to the final on Saturday
:09:37. > :09:48.In the last few moments, Norway have won the men's 400 metre hurdles.
:09:49. > :09:53.Kerron Clement was hoping to become the first 400m
:09:54. > :09:55.hurdler in history to win three world titles.
:09:56. > :09:58.In the coming minutes Alison Felix is looking for a tenth world title
:09:59. > :10:00.and heads in the 400m up against Olympic champion
:10:01. > :10:02.and Bahamian Shaunay Miller-Weebo also competing.
:10:03. > :10:04.The women's rugby World Cup got underway in Dublin
:10:05. > :10:06.earlier on Wednesday with all 12 teams in action.
:10:07. > :10:08.Sarah Mulkerrins has been following the action and Sarah
:10:09. > :10:14.there have been plenty of tries on the opening day?
:10:15. > :10:24.Indeed there has. The sun has set and it has seen so many tries. Let's
:10:25. > :10:29.talk you through the results. England are the defending champions
:10:30. > :10:34.in this tournament. They won three years ago and they marked the
:10:35. > :10:38.defence of their title with a good performance. They are the only
:10:39. > :10:45.full-time professional team here and they have real strength in depth. 12
:10:46. > :10:50.debutants ran out today and they were 56-5 winners against Spain.
:10:51. > :10:54.Four of the ten tries scored by England were scored by winger K
:10:55. > :10:59.Wilson. Captain Sarah Hunter was pretty pleased with the performance.
:11:00. > :11:06.Really pleased to get the first game done and the first wing tip. It was
:11:07. > :11:14.very about getting the job done. It's nice to get ten tries but we
:11:15. > :11:21.will be looking to improve as we go on through this tournament. New
:11:22. > :11:26.Zealand were the four-time champions before England stole the crown three
:11:27. > :11:30.years ago. They missed out on the pool knockout stages in the last
:11:31. > :11:35.event. They were smarting from that. They put in a very good solid
:11:36. > :11:39.performance. Eight tries for them. Here was their coach's assessment on
:11:40. > :11:48.their performance. We needed the game and we needed the
:11:49. > :11:53.start. We scored eight tries and we are relatively pleased with that.
:11:54. > :11:57.We're also three easy ones behind the badge we should have converted.
:11:58. > :12:05.That's how it goes and we will just have to put a bit more polish on
:12:06. > :12:15.what we're doing. Canada also in the same pool, they ran out 98-0 winners
:12:16. > :12:22.over tournament debutants Hong Kong. France have just run out winners
:12:23. > :12:32.against Japan. For Ireland it was closer against Australia. They had
:12:33. > :12:35.to hang in at the end. They won 19-7. A lot closer than many
:12:36. > :12:37.predicted. But they will be happy with a victory in that home
:12:38. > :12:47.tournament. That's all we've got time for. The
:12:48. > :12:56.women's 400 metres final coming up in the next few minutes. Plenty for
:12:57. > :13:01.play for. Thanks through much. Stay with us. Still to come, scientists
:13:02. > :13:02.have found a new and surprising way to track penguins through their
:13:03. > :13:21.feathers. On the tenth anniversary of the
:13:22. > :13:24.financial crisis, the BBC has been speaking with Lib Dem leader Vince
:13:25. > :13:30.Cable who saw the crisis coming. The government of the time Gordon Brown
:13:31. > :13:34.and Alistair Darling could have been criticised for being complex and in
:13:35. > :13:38.the run-up but they handled the crisis very well. They had to
:13:39. > :13:42.nationalise the banks. They had to run a very large deficit to keep the
:13:43. > :13:50.economy going. Some of that you were advising. Indeed. They deserved
:13:51. > :13:53.credit for rescuing us. We could have had an absolute catastrophe.
:13:54. > :13:58.Although the crisis was dire and the biggest since the Second World War,
:13:59. > :14:05.it wasn't as serious as the great crash in America in 29-30. Some
:14:06. > :14:09.things to be grateful for. A lot of people are home tonight will still
:14:10. > :14:15.be worried about their livelihoods. Still struggling. Ten years on,
:14:16. > :14:19.we're still dealing the aftermath. Its political as well as economic. A
:14:20. > :14:23.lot of people asked Tilse seething with anger that the people who
:14:24. > :14:26.caused this at the top of the banking system, some seriously
:14:27. > :14:30.reckless and greedy people have just walked away. You've been predicting
:14:31. > :14:37.a lot about our hard Brexit and what that could mean. I'd start by saying
:14:38. > :14:42.a lot of lessons have been learned. The banks are safe and have more
:14:43. > :14:46.capital. In some ways, they are too conservative and it is very
:14:47. > :14:51.difficult for business to get loans. Most of the lending is against
:14:52. > :14:56.property. You are still predicting another crisis. I think there will
:14:57. > :15:01.be problems if we get into the hard Brexit that the government and the
:15:02. > :15:07.Labour opposition are pushing for. That particularly if there is a
:15:08. > :15:11.cliff edge. Sam Wood 's, Bank of England, and nonpolitical public
:15:12. > :15:14.servant saying that if we have that kind of crashing out there would be
:15:15. > :15:22.serious indications for the financial sector, for example, if
:15:23. > :15:27.the pound falls heavily, into arrest rates have to rise and a lot of
:15:28. > :15:33.people are heavily in debt. Isn't this the scaremongering of the
:15:34. > :15:37.referendum? I'm just describing a scenario that may not happen. If the
:15:38. > :15:42.same people in government prevail and we keep the good things about
:15:43. > :15:45.the European Union, the customs union, single market and things my
:15:46. > :15:56.colleagues are fighting for, we will avoid all of that. Our lead story.
:15:57. > :16:00.The head of the largest military in the world, the US secretary of
:16:01. > :16:04.defence has told North Korea to avoid actions that could usher in
:16:05. > :16:10.the destruction of its people. The latest in a war of words between the
:16:11. > :16:15.two countries. We've have stories from around the world, we're going
:16:16. > :16:20.to take you to the Democratic Republic of Congo. There is a
:16:21. > :16:23.two-day strike there in the capital of Kinshasa. Is aimed at getting
:16:24. > :16:33.this man, the president to call elections. It was a slow and intense
:16:34. > :16:41.start of the day in the capital can shatter and other towns in the east
:16:42. > :16:45.of the country. There was increased military presence on the streets and
:16:46. > :16:50.the government has ordered ten that comes countries to slow down
:16:51. > :16:55.Internet speeds so that people cannot share images on social media.
:16:56. > :16:59.Most people took their time to gauge of the situation on the ground
:17:00. > :17:02.before leaving their homes. This is because some of the protests like
:17:03. > :17:09.this one had ended in violence in the past. This is all about the
:17:10. > :17:13.fragile political situation in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
:17:14. > :17:20.Elections were July 's jeer but the election commission announced their
:17:21. > :17:32.would not take place because of a lack of resources. This has allowed
:17:33. > :17:44.the president to stay longer in office. The opposition want to force
:17:45. > :17:48.the government to hold elections. It seems that the deadline will be
:17:49. > :17:55.best. In the meantime, the opposition is weakening and losing
:17:56. > :18:01.momentum. Meaning that a general strikes like this one are less
:18:02. > :18:06.successful. There is anger brewing in Iran after President Hassan
:18:07. > :18:12.Rouhani reduce the amount of women in high-ranking positions in his
:18:13. > :18:17.government. Yesterday he unveiled an all-male ministerial team and just
:18:18. > :18:22.two of his vice presidential positions will be filled by women,
:18:23. > :18:28.one less than his last government. A third was named in an advisory role.
:18:29. > :18:35.These are the three appointees. We have been following the story. The
:18:36. > :18:40.most interesting thing about this story is that a lot of people
:18:41. > :18:46.expected the president to appoint a minister, a female minister, to the
:18:47. > :18:51.Cabinet but, instead, the president has appointed two female vice
:18:52. > :18:57.presidents and one assistant to the president which compared to the
:18:58. > :19:01.previous administration is different because the previous administration
:19:02. > :19:06.had three women as vice presidents in the Cabinet. Now there are two
:19:07. > :19:09.vice presidents and one assistant to the president. So one of the female
:19:10. > :19:15.persons in the Cabinet has been demoted. For campaigners, for more
:19:16. > :19:21.women in politics it feels like a backward step. Exactly. They are
:19:22. > :19:27.really disappointed about the President's session. They wanted to
:19:28. > :19:31.campaign for real action. He talked about equal opportunities for women
:19:32. > :19:37.but now he has been re-elected he has forgotten about winning. Is the
:19:38. > :19:42.thinking that's because he's changed his mind or because he's come under
:19:43. > :19:48.pressure from elsewhere? It seems that he has come under pressure from
:19:49. > :19:55.conservative hardliners and he wants to avoid that pressure. Still a lot
:19:56. > :20:02.of women say that in the previous Administration 's, under President
:20:03. > :20:15.Mahmoud Ahmedinejad he had appointed a female to the Cabinet. Now,
:20:16. > :20:20.president Rouhani has been painted as a reformist, he has avoided the
:20:21. > :20:27.issue. Has it been a big story on social media? A very big story. A
:20:28. > :20:31.lot of people have expressed anger and disappointment at the president.
:20:32. > :20:34.At the same time, there are some people supporting the president.
:20:35. > :20:42.They say having a top role in the government is not women's priority
:20:43. > :20:48.in Iran. What they are concerned about our jobs, employment,
:20:49. > :20:59.insurance. Avoiding tension. The president wants to focus on what
:21:00. > :21:02.matters most to women. Now, scientists have found a new and
:21:03. > :21:10.surprising way of tracking Penguins through their feathers. The study
:21:11. > :21:16.was published in biology Letters, the scientific journal. Basically,
:21:17. > :21:21.it says that the proteins in penguin feathers pick up the geochemical
:21:22. > :21:26.signature of their location via the food they eat. It's like getting
:21:27. > :21:29.stamps on a chemical passport. The researchers can track their winter
:21:30. > :21:34.migration patterns from their breeding colonies on the South
:21:35. > :21:39.Shetland Islands, off the coast of Antarctica, over many hundreds of
:21:40. > :21:43.kilometres. Earlier, one of the authors of the study explain to me
:21:44. > :21:50.about how feathers can reveal quite so much information. You are growing
:21:51. > :21:56.something like your fingernail and that records what you eat. Things
:21:57. > :22:01.like proteins that make up the body, we don't actually make the raw
:22:02. > :22:07.materials of that. The raw materials come in a lot of cases from food. In
:22:08. > :22:12.the case of penguins going across the Southern Ocean, they don't make
:22:13. > :22:16.these proteins, the building blocks of them, the essential amino acids
:22:17. > :22:24.come from algae which their prey trill eat and they in turn eat the
:22:25. > :22:28.krill. They are getting a chemical symbol of where they are foraging
:22:29. > :22:33.rather than making it from scratch themselves. Why are you using a tail
:22:34. > :22:40.feather in particular to pick up this data? Different tissues record
:22:41. > :22:43.the environment at different rates. Things like bones are growing very
:22:44. > :22:49.slowly so they are not very good for this kind of thing. Your blood turns
:22:50. > :22:53.over very fast. Things like fingernails or in the case of a
:22:54. > :22:58.penguin, a tail feather, it's grown over a year. At the right time to
:22:59. > :23:08.record what they are doing in winter. What strikes me, it's a
:23:09. > :23:11.simple idea, isn't it? To track this chemical fingerprint by the tail
:23:12. > :23:18.feather because you used to have to put an electronic tag on. So it's
:23:19. > :23:23.much better for the bird, as well. Absolutely. This technique has been
:23:24. > :23:27.around but we've applied it in a new way. We are still relying on a bit
:23:28. > :23:31.of tracking. The US Antarctic programme did the validation for
:23:32. > :23:39.this. They measured a few birds and saw where they went. A scientist
:23:40. > :23:45.from LSU led this chemical study and got collaborators from Argentina and
:23:46. > :23:50.myself and we went around Antarctica in a single season and got lots of
:23:51. > :23:56.different colonies. Exactly as you say, without having to put tracks on
:23:57. > :24:08.all of them. Just a very brief final question. Are you
:24:09. > :24:24.officially a penguinologist? Yes, the name started as a joke but it is
:24:25. > :24:31.what I did. Thanks very much. A very distressing story. Up to 50 migrants
:24:32. > :24:35.have been deliberately drowned by people smugglers off the coast of
:24:36. > :24:40.Somalia. They were travelling to Yemen are trying to get to the Gulf.
:24:41. > :24:46.As their boat approached the Yemen coast, we are told they were forced
:24:47. > :24:51.into the sea. Around 100 survived but 29 people were killed and up to
:24:52. > :24:56.22 people are missing. This coming in from the International
:24:57. > :25:00.organisation for migration. They say the smugglers deliberately pushed
:25:01. > :25:02.the migrants into the water. More on that on the BBC News website. Thanks
:25:03. > :25:14.very much for being with us. I'm sure you know how it works. We
:25:15. > :25:15.give you the next
