Hello, I'm Philippa Thomas, this is Outside Source.

:00:07.:00:08.

Our top story comes yet again from Washington.

:00:09.:00:12.

Donald Trump has said that statements on North Korea perhaps

:00:13.:00:15.

haven't been tough enough - and that the country should be very,

:00:16.:00:18.

very nervous if it does anything to the United States.

:00:19.:00:26.

We are back to 100% by our military, we are backed by everybody.

:00:27.:00:31.

This is the North Korean state broadcaster explaining in detail how

:00:32.:00:34.

the country proposes to launch missiles near the US

:00:35.:00:36.

territory of Guam - in a matter of days.

:00:37.:00:43.

Whether or not that's actually possible -

:00:44.:00:45.

North Korea certainly has the world's attention -

:00:46.:00:47.

we'll bring you reaction from Guam, South Korea, and the United States.

:00:48.:00:49.

We'll be live in Havana, where our correspondent will explain

:00:50.:00:52.

a mysterious 'incident' that's resulted in two Cuban diplomats

:00:53.:00:54.

Still no official result from the Kenyan election.

:00:55.:01:00.

The opposition says the results of the presidential

:01:01.:01:02.

poll have been rigged - but international observers say

:01:03.:01:04.

And to get in touch - the hashtag is BBC OS.

:01:05.:01:28.

Let's begin with the intensifying war of words between

:01:29.:01:32.

In the last few minutes Donald Trump has spoken again about the issue.

:01:33.:01:42.

Let us show you our update. Saying North Korea should be very, very

:01:43.:01:49.

nervous about doing anything to the United States. He also said we will

:01:50.:01:56.

always consider negotiations. He gave a news conference. But let's

:01:57.:01:57.

hear what he has to say. It's the first time they heard

:01:58.:02:02.

it like they heard it. Frankly the people who

:02:03.:02:04.

are questioning that They have been doing this to our

:02:05.:02:06.

country for many years and it's about time somebody stuck up

:02:07.:02:14.

for the people of this country If anything, maybe that statement

:02:15.:02:17.

was not tough enough. We are backed 100% by our

:02:18.:02:20.

military, by everybody. I have noticed many senators

:02:21.:02:22.

and others today came out very much If anything, that statement may

:02:23.:02:31.

not be tough enough. What could be tougher than fire and

:02:32.:02:37.

fury? Is one of the options being

:02:38.:02:40.

considered a preventive strike? I'm not like the other

:02:41.:02:46.

administration, "we are going I can tell you what they have been

:02:47.:02:50.

doing and what they have been We always consider

negotiation, but we have been Look at Clinton, he was

:02:59.:03:08.

weak and ineffective. He did not even want

:03:09.:03:17.

to talk about it. All this comes after Pyongyang

:03:18.:03:21.

announced it had a plan to fire as many as four missiles

:03:22.:03:45.

towards the US territory. It happened on the

:03:46.:03:47.

country's state media. TRANSLATION: The Hwasong-12

:03:57.:03:58.

sent to leader Kim Jong Un for approval and could be

:03:59.:04:06.

finalised within days. To remind you, the island of Guam

:04:07.:04:09.

sits in the Pacific Ocean, roughly three and a half

:04:10.:04:12.

thousand kilometres away from the Korean Peninsula and it's

being singled out as a potential target for Pyongyang because it's

:04:19.:04:20.

Hayes is in Guam. He's been gauging

:04:21.:04:33.

reaction among locals. This behind me is the gate to

:04:34.:04:45.

Andersen Air Force Base here in Guam. This is a place that North

:04:46.:04:51.

Korea really does not like. Anderson is home to a fleet of B-1s, those

:04:52.:04:58.

big swing wing bombers. Every time North Korea does something the US

:04:59.:05:02.

president does not lie, he sends some of his B-1s from here to fly

:05:03.:05:05.

out to the Korean peninsula and along the Dominika rises on. He is

:05:06.:05:09.

really saying to the North Korean regime, if you do not do what the

:05:10.:05:18.

American want, ie give up your nuclear weapons programme, then this

:05:19.:05:21.

is what you will get. And this is where will come from. If North

:05:22.:05:28.

Korea's aim is to scare people, well, have a look. It does not seem

:05:29.:05:32.

to be working. Suddenly people are not fleeing the beaches for the

:05:33.:05:36.

airport. Most people here, locals and tourists, think this is more of

:05:37.:05:41.

North Korea's normal bluster. But the threat against Guam is very

:05:42.:05:44.

specific. That has a few people worried, that may just maybe, Kim

:05:45.:05:49.

Jong-un is planning some sort of action to fire one or more missiles

:05:50.:05:53.

over Japan in this direction. Not to strike one, but you hit close by. If

:05:54.:05:58.

you did do that, it is possible the mood here would change.

:05:59.:06:02.

So the feeling among many in Guam is that this is all just rhetoric.

:06:03.:06:05.

What about the country that's most worried about being

:06:06.:06:07.

Today South Korea has responded to the latest aggressive rhetoric.

:06:08.:06:15.

TRANSLATION: Weird knowledge the security situation on the Korean

:06:16.:06:22.

peninsula is getting more serious duty North Korea's continued

:06:23.:06:27.

provocation or threats. The National Security Council committee strongly

:06:28.:06:31.

urges North Korea to stop all actions that could further escalate

:06:32.:06:32.

tensions on the peninsula. Well we brought you those

:06:33.:06:35.

new lines on Donald Trump Let's go back to Washington.

:06:36.:06:47.

Anthony, what did you make of what John said? Write off the bat he

:06:48.:06:53.

leaned into his earlier comments. -- what did you make of what Trump

:06:54.:06:59.

said? Saying maybe he did not go far enough, when pressed by reporters

:07:00.:07:02.

saying you will see, that line was interesting. He did leave the door

:07:03.:07:06.

open to negotiation, he said he would consider it. But you notice he

:07:07.:07:09.

pointed out that all his predecessors had been talk talk, and

:07:10.:07:14.

he was going to do something about it. I think the most interesting

:07:15.:07:18.

part of this came towards the end, when he talked about China. China is

:07:19.:07:24.

pivotal in the negotiations. China has a lot of influence over North

:07:25.:07:28.

Korea, and Donald Trump said China needs to do more. He thinks they

:07:29.:07:33.

will do more, and he went on to say that he does have issues with

:07:34.:07:38.

Chinese US trade with China, but perhaps he would not be as concerned

:07:39.:07:42.

about the trade issue if China did something with North Korea. In

:07:43.:07:46.

effect, it seemed like he was attempting to link US economic

:07:47.:07:50.

relations with China with China's cooperation in addressing North

:07:51.:07:53.

Korea. That was something we have not hold a whole lot of before and I

:07:54.:07:59.

thought it was an interesting point. That is interesting. It has been a

:08:00.:08:03.

bit of a seesaw in Donald Trump's view of China and the Chinese

:08:04.:08:06.

president, from my great pal in Florida to warnings issued over

:08:07.:08:12.

twitter. Exactly, even going back to the campaign, China was a regular

:08:13.:08:16.

target of Donald Trump's fire as he campaigned for the Republican

:08:17.:08:21.

nomination, then for president. Criticising their trade policy and

:08:22.:08:24.

as you mentioned, he had a meeting down in Florida. That meeting, they

:08:25.:08:29.

seemed to be pretty positive, as though Chinese relations were going

:08:30.:08:33.

to be a little better than we thought under the Trump

:08:34.:08:35.

administration. Followed that up with a few more swipes at China,

:08:36.:08:39.

then he managed to get Chinese government on board with these new

:08:40.:08:46.

economic sanctions that the UN and Security Council imposed. I think

:08:47.:08:49.

Donald Trump recognises that China is the linchpin to this issue. He is

:08:50.:08:56.

trying his own unique brand of negotiations, been tough at times,

:08:57.:09:01.

then being conciliatory, to try to coax China into further action. I

:09:02.:09:05.

guess we will see if this type of strategy, not something we have seen

:09:06.:09:09.

from past presidents, if it works. Good to talk to you as always.

:09:10.:09:17.

The National Crime Agency says modern slavery and people

:09:18.:09:19.

trafficking in the UK is a far larger problem than

:09:20.:09:22.

More than 300 police operations are currently targeting

:09:23.:09:25.

Aurel is one of the victims who has dared to speak out.

:09:26.:09:37.

It's just horrible, I tell you, it's just horrible.

:09:38.:09:39.

Even now, I just feel like my heart is start beating a little bit.

:09:40.:09:42.

Men women and children are all victims, but they are struggling to

:09:43.:09:55.

fight back as new leads the merge all the time from the criminal

:09:56.:10:00.

underworld. People as young as 13 and 14 being sexually exploited and

:10:01.:10:03.

falls to engage in prostitution, that should worry us all. This is a

:10:04.:10:07.

growing problem for which we think there is a shared responsibility

:10:08.:10:11.

across society in the UK. Passports are taken, they are forced to work

:10:12.:10:15.

against their will, they are held in squalid conditions. The traffic

:10:16.:10:18.

controls their finances, their movement. Only I spoke to prominent

:10:19.:10:26.

human rights lawyer cherie Blair. She has long campaigned on this

:10:27.:10:28.

issue and her law firm advises people on how to comply with the

:10:29.:10:33.

most recent legislation, the modern slavery act of 2015. It is

:10:34.:10:39.

surprising, where these people can turn up. It could be the people who

:10:40.:10:44.

are picking strawberries in the fields if you are in a rural area,

:10:45.:10:48.

it could be the girl who is doing your nails in the male barber does

:10:49.:10:52.

not speak very good English and seems very shy and frightened to

:10:53.:10:57.

speak. It could be the guy washing your car in these hand car wash

:10:58.:11:03.

places. Of course, the sex industry is an industry where there are very

:11:04.:11:07.

many such people. But it is not just people you might

:11:08.:11:16.

encounter in the streets, it is is about the goods we may buy or where

:11:17.:11:21.

they may have come from. It might seem strange to some of our viewers

:11:22.:11:24.

were talking about the UK, a developed country, sees itself as

:11:25.:11:28.

progressive, get this problem is still pretty pervasive it seems. As

:11:29.:11:32.

long as there is one person in slavery, that is a problem. The

:11:33.:11:37.

statistics say the many estimate about 13,000 people in slavery here

:11:38.:11:43.

in the UK. Of course, today the MCA have said the problem was much

:11:44.:11:48.

bigger than they first feared. The National crime agency. Yes, it's

:11:49.:11:56.

been very interesting, in 2015 we passed the modern slavery act. In

:11:57.:12:00.

that year, the number of prosecutions for slavery related

:12:01.:12:03.

offences was 12. The following year, it had gone up 51 prosecutions,

:12:04.:12:10.

making 63 in all. This year, we have had this report saying police

:12:11.:12:15.

actively looking into 300 cases. You satisfied there are the tools to

:12:16.:12:19.

prosecute and bring to justice? That there are the tools to prosecute,

:12:20.:12:23.

definitely. We do not have an array of offences and we have seen people

:12:24.:12:27.

in the UK be prosecuted, one of the first prosecutions was a couple from

:12:28.:12:30.

Nigeria who had brought with them a domestic servant. And essentially

:12:31.:12:36.

treated her badly, beat her, did not let her go out, worked out all the

:12:37.:12:41.

hours of the day. They were prosecuted successfully for offences

:12:42.:12:47.

against... Of slavery. We do have the legal tools. Whether we have the

:12:48.:12:51.

resources and the knowledge to actually identify people who are

:12:52.:12:56.

living in slavery is another question. That is I think what the

:12:57.:13:00.

report today was highlighting, that it is a bigger problem than the

:13:01.:13:04.

police imagined. They are going to need to devote more resources to it.

:13:05.:13:09.

You talk about specialist resources then, because by definition, these

:13:10.:13:12.

are people who often do not speak English, they are in the shadows. It

:13:13.:13:17.

is hard to get to them, to find them in the first place. Very much so. In

:13:18.:13:21.

today's interconnected world though, it's hard to keep something

:13:22.:13:26.

completely isolated. It is about knowing the science, looking for the

:13:27.:13:32.

signs, neighbours seeing strange activities in the street. Customers

:13:33.:13:36.

going to the nail bar, noticing that maybe the girls are very subdued, if

:13:37.:13:40.

they cannot speak English very well, seem to be lost in our country.

:13:41.:13:45.

Maybe asking a bit more about where these people come from, and where do

:13:46.:13:52.

they go home to tonight? Cherie Blair, are you saying to your fellow

:13:53.:13:57.

Britons, don't be too complacent about the situation in which other

:13:58.:14:02.

people find themselves? They are working -- their working

:14:03.:14:03.

environment. They could be witnessing modern day

:14:04.:14:08.

slavery. Absolutely. There is no room for complacency. Sometimes as

:14:09.:14:12.

Brits we don't like to be too nosy and pry into other peoples business,

:14:13.:14:16.

but in this case, I think we are lazy enough. The human rights lawyer

:14:17.:14:23.

cherie Blair. -- in this case, I think we are not nosy enough.

:14:24.:14:28.

Next - this may sound like a film script but it's a real

:14:29.:14:31.

Washington has expelled two Cuban diplomats after US embassy

:14:32.:14:34.

staff in Havana suffered mysterious physical symptoms.

:14:35.:14:36.

Some reports are suggesting that this refers to hearing loss -

:14:37.:14:38.

which could, possibly, be related to the use

:14:39.:14:40.

But it's all very unclear - as you'll see from this clip from

:14:41.:14:44.

We take this very seriously. This incident. That is what we are

:14:45.:14:56.

calling in. We do not know exactly what... Since 2016, you don't know

:14:57.:15:02.

what this incident is? What this requires is providing medical

:15:03.:15:07.

examinations to these people. Initially, when they started

:15:08.:15:10.

reporting what I will just call symptoms, it took time to figure out

:15:11.:15:12.

what it was. This is still ongoing. Let's go to Will Grant,

:15:13.:15:17.

who is in Havana for us. Here is his take. It sounds like a

:15:18.:15:29.

plot twist straight from the pages of the Finance Cold War spy novels,

:15:30.:15:33.

rather than relations between the US and Cuba in 2017. But this latest

:15:34.:15:38.

episode does appear to show that ties have taken a turn for the

:15:39.:15:43.

strange. Let's go over what we know. The State Department expelled to

:15:44.:15:50.

Cuban diplomats, they are not persona non grata but they were

:15:51.:15:53.

asked to leave Washington after a series of unexplained incidents led

:15:54.:16:00.

to deafness in a number of staff of the US embassy here in her van. It

:16:01.:16:06.

is believed that deafness, that temporary perhaps severe loss of

:16:07.:16:11.

hearing in those members of staff came about because sonic devices

:16:12.:16:14.

were placed either inside or around their homes. It is not yet clear,

:16:15.:16:21.

and the State Department are not commenting on how those devices came

:16:22.:16:24.

to be in place. You put them now, who they are blaming for it, all

:16:25.:16:29.

they are saying at this stage is that a number of their staff

:16:30.:16:34.

received treatment and we know have left the island. It is a unique

:16:35.:16:41.

twist in this most convoluted of relationships. And one that does

:16:42.:16:46.

nothing to help ties under President Trump, ties that one just a few

:16:47.:16:50.

months ago, warmer than ever. Now beginning to fray.

:16:51.:16:53.

Stay with us on Outside Source - after the break...

:16:54.:17:02.

First Disney, now Facebook wants to woo online viewers.

:17:03.:17:20.

Norfolk police have appealed for people to come forward in regards to

:17:21.:17:25.

the death of Peter Wright, who died walking his dog in Norfolk on

:17:26.:17:30.

Saturday. A white male of slim build and pale skin with grey or white

:17:31.:17:36.

hair which is balding on top. It is believed he was wearing heavy rimmed

:17:37.:17:40.

glasses and light-coloured trousers. He was seen in the street changing

:17:41.:17:47.

into a white T-shirt. Secondly, a white male with a tanned complexion,

:17:48.:17:54.

aged 25 to 30 years of age. Between 5'9" tall and 5'11" tall, thirdly a

:17:55.:18:01.

white male aged 30 to 50 years of age, of medium build and wearing

:18:02.:18:07.

dark coloured clothing. He was seen walking without a dog in the

:18:08.:18:09.

northern area of the heath. This is Outside Source live

:18:10.:18:26.

from the BBC newsroom. Donald Trump has said statements

:18:27.:18:28.

on North Korea might not have Meanwhile, North Korea is claiming

:18:29.:18:32.

it could be ready to fire four missiles near the US territory

:18:33.:18:36.

of Guam in a matter of days. Back to Kenya - where election

:18:37.:18:39.

ballots are still being counted- and the main opposition candidate

:18:40.:18:42.

is claiming he has won the presidential election -

:18:43.:18:44.

despite the preliminary official Here is he is - Raila Odinga -

:18:45.:18:46.

and he wants to be declared the winner of Tuesday's presidential

:18:47.:18:51.

poll. Here's the spokesman

:18:52.:18:55.

for his opposition coalition. We have now received further

:18:56.:19:06.

information from confidential sources. The results contained in

:19:07.:19:18.

the database, the data which confirms the results of the

:19:19.:19:23.

presidential election. Shows that the two leading candidates obtained

:19:24.:19:30.

the following votes. Raila Odinga, 8 million and 41,000, 760. Uhuru

:19:31.:19:41.

Kenyatta, 7,000,750 5400 and 28 votes.

:19:42.:19:45.

Election commission officials are standing by their system,

:19:46.:19:47.

and the electronic results revealed so far have put this man -

:19:48.:19:50.

the current President Uhuru Kenyatta- ahead with a clear lead.

:19:51.:19:52.

What's more international observers- who are in the country

:19:53.:19:54.

for the election- say the polls were conducted in a transparent

:19:55.:19:57.

Here's one of them - former US Secretary

:19:58.:20:01.

We are concluding that the ie see, the election commission has put in

:20:02.:20:17.

place a process that can provide for the guarantee of the integrity of

:20:18.:20:21.

the selection. If you follow the rules, and they are doing now, you

:20:22.:20:27.

can get an accounting for each and every polling station, and for an

:20:28.:20:29.

accurate count as to who won and lost. We believe this system can be

:20:30.:20:36.

accountable. It is accountable, so far. If every step is followed, if

:20:37.:20:40.

somebody monkeyed with it, one will be able to tell. Trust in the

:20:41.:20:45.

process going forward. That is the key.

:20:46.:20:51.

Let's talk to our correspondent in Nairobi. You have spoken to the head

:20:52.:20:56.

of the Electoral Commission. I spoke to him a short while ago and asked

:20:57.:21:01.

him about this allegation. And the demands by the opposition coalition

:21:02.:21:06.

that he declares Raila Odinga the president of Kenya. He said that

:21:07.:21:11.

they are an independent body and it is only the Electoral Commission

:21:12.:21:15.

that is mandated by law to make that declaration. They are going to pace

:21:16.:21:19.

their decision on the results they have collected from polling stations

:21:20.:21:23.

across the country. The process of getting the result is underway, they

:21:24.:21:26.

are validating the results. He also addressed issues of hacking,

:21:27.:21:31.

allegations of hacking into the results transmission system. He says

:21:32.:21:36.

that system is very crucial and has not been hacked into, there have

:21:37.:21:42.

been no attempts to hack into it. But there were attempts into other

:21:43.:21:46.

servers that are not related to the transmission system. He says they

:21:47.:21:51.

believe the results, the results that have been streaming in, are

:21:52.:21:54.

credible and once they are done with the validation process, only then

:21:55.:21:59.

will he declared a result. We can see behind you that there are pieces

:22:00.:22:03.

of paper being passed around, I presume votes being counted a

:22:04.:22:11.

validated. Could be a few days yet? It seems we are drawing closer to

:22:12.:22:15.

that announcement. We have had the vast majority of papers, the forms,

:22:16.:22:22.

coming in from polling stations. They are now here, awaiting the

:22:23.:22:26.

final batch. Tomorrow morning, once they have those and have them

:22:27.:22:30.

validated, they can make that announcement. It is possible

:22:31.:22:32.

tomorrow or maybe shortly afterwards. Thanks very much for

:22:33.:22:36.

bringing us up to date from Nairobi. Time now for Outside Source business

:22:37.:22:50.

and we have seen a flurry of activity in streaming this week.

:22:51.:22:54.

Yesterday we told you about Disney's plans to entertain its customers

:22:55.:22:58.

direct, now Facebook has confirmed it is to offer dedicated video, so

:22:59.:23:02.

completing a course against YouTube and the television networks. I think

:23:03.:23:06.

we can now go to New York and get more from Michelle. Tell us more

:23:07.:23:13.

about these plans. Hide. We knew Facebook already had been dabbling

:23:14.:23:18.

in the world of video, there is for example Facebook life, where users

:23:19.:23:23.

can broadcast live. The BBC often those broadcasts live on Facebook.

:23:24.:23:29.

What we are seeing is Mark Milligan bourguignon said on the path that

:23:30.:23:32.

mobile is very important to the company now going forward, saying

:23:33.:23:35.

video is going to be crucial to the company. -- what we are seeing is

:23:36.:23:42.

Mark Zucker Burke. This is the result. There's a new tab on the

:23:43.:23:45.

Facebook page will you see something called watch. Under that you can

:23:46.:23:51.

watch original programming. In some cases, Facebook has paid for that

:23:52.:23:55.

programming. In other cases, the idea is much like YouTube which is

:23:56.:24:00.

offered by alphabet, the parent company of Google, people can upload

:24:01.:24:04.

their own videos. In future they will be able to get money from it in

:24:05.:24:08.

sharing of ad revenue that Facebook generates. The question for many

:24:09.:24:11.

people is how interesting is this programme going to be? Are we

:24:12.:24:17.

talking about must watch TV on a Friday night? Perhaps not. Certainly

:24:18.:24:21.

there is a market there to be developed, we have seen that with

:24:22.:24:24.

YouTube. The question is how big it will ultimately be for the company.

:24:25.:24:29.

Mark Zuckerberg always wants to change the experience, doesn't it,

:24:30.:24:33.

Michelle. An edible be a lot about social viewing, getting together in

:24:34.:24:37.

groups online. That idea of watching TV together? For every programming,

:24:38.:24:45.

every programme that is on them, the idea is that there is also attached

:24:46.:24:50.

to it a page where people can comment, interact, so you are right.

:24:51.:24:54.

That very idea behind Facebook, the social aspect is crucial. They want

:24:55.:25:00.

people to talk around the programme, whether it is live while they are

:25:01.:25:03.

watching it or afterwards. The other interesting thing is there is also

:25:04.:25:07.

an aspect that shows what your friends are watching, so in case

:25:08.:25:10.

maybe your friends have things in common, you might see what they are

:25:11.:25:14.

seeing. There is that opportunity to comment there as well. It is

:25:15.:25:18.

definitely meant to not necessarily emulates traditional TV viewing

:25:19.:25:23.

habits, but the question is how much money is there to be made in this

:25:24.:25:30.

question we have seen YouTube stars come out, is it enough to sustain

:25:31.:25:33.

people are mad? That is a question. That is the bit people are not

:25:34.:25:40.

entirely sure about. -- is it enough to sustain people? Thank you very

:25:41.:25:47.

much. You can always tell us what you think on BBC OS or tweet me

:25:48.:25:54.

about any of our stories, there is another edition coming right up, so

:25:55.:25:55.

stay with us an Outside Source. For those of you keeping abreast of

:25:56.:26:14.

world weather stories in recent days, you
