:00:12. > :00:22.Hello. I'm Philippa Thomas and this is Outside Source. The main stories.
:00:23. > :00:27.Donald Trump has says statements on North Korea may not have been tough
:00:28. > :00:31.enough. He says that the country should be very wary about doing
:00:32. > :00:35.anything the United States. Maybe that statement was not tough enough.
:00:36. > :00:39.We are backed by our military, backed by everybody.
:00:40. > :00:45.There has been a drowning of migrants off the coast of Yemen and
:00:46. > :00:49.many are full to be teenagers. One of Mexico's most famous
:00:50. > :00:55.footballers denies connections with a Mexican cartel.
:00:56. > :01:09.To get in touch with us, hashtag BBC OS.
:01:10. > :01:17.There has been a second deliberate drowning of migrants off the coast
:01:18. > :01:22.of Yemen. 19 people have died and more are missing. This is the second
:01:23. > :01:26.incident in as many days. On Wednesday, 50 people died after
:01:27. > :01:34.being pushed off a boat by smugglers fearing arrest. This information is
:01:35. > :01:43.coming from the UN's migration agency and this was told us.
:01:44. > :01:56.This is the same modus operandi. 150 people this time. They're worth your
:01:57. > :02:03.people 22 or 23, who were the same age, same profile. But they were
:02:04. > :02:11.trying to dropped in the sea close to the shore. It is may be linked to
:02:12. > :02:15.the fact that maybe they have lost control at the borders and the
:02:16. > :02:20.smugglers are panicking but the reaction was worse. Because instead
:02:21. > :02:21.of preventing them entering they're basically continued their business
:02:22. > :02:23.by killing people. We think the victims
:02:24. > :02:25.were trying to get to Yemen - despite the ongoing conflict there,
:02:26. > :02:28.it's still seen as a gateway And other migrant routes
:02:29. > :02:36.remain just as active. It's from Cadiz, in Spain -
:02:37. > :02:55.it shows a migrant boat arriving Holiday-makers in their swimsuits
:02:56. > :02:58.are shocked, seeing the migrants running ashore and trying to evade
:02:59. > :03:00.the authorities. Joining me is James Copnall,
:03:01. > :03:08.World Service Africa editor. I asked him about the Yemen story,
:03:09. > :03:11.why Yemen was attracting so many migrants.
:03:12. > :03:20.I don't think it is Yemen, it is a way of getting to richer Gulf
:03:21. > :03:24.countries. It is geography, it is across the water from Somalia and
:03:25. > :03:27.closed Ethiopian. People have numerous routes to go to places
:03:28. > :03:32.where they think they will get a better life. These people chose to
:03:33. > :03:36.go the short sea trip, though quite a dangerous one, the Yemen with the
:03:37. > :03:42.hope of going on other Gulf countries where could get a job and
:03:43. > :03:45.live that better life. And the people traffickers, who are
:03:46. > :03:50.basically dumping migrants into the sea, this could have been happening
:03:51. > :03:54.and we haven't realised it? It's possible, but there is lots of
:03:55. > :03:58.monitoring of that situation and the UN migration agency say that this
:03:59. > :04:03.seems to be a new trend. What seems to be happening is that the
:04:04. > :04:06.smugglers get near the coast, they see an authority figure, they think
:04:07. > :04:11.there is a risk of being arrested, and they put people into the sea.
:04:12. > :04:15.They also say that people seem to be beaten or held at gunpoint whereas
:04:16. > :04:19.in other cases it has been less violent. It does seem to be
:04:20. > :04:22.something of a new dimensional and obviously a worrying one for people
:04:23. > :04:35.trying to make their way across that of water.
:04:36. > :04:44.To Afghanistan where people were taken and 230 hostages released
:04:45. > :04:49.after elders and provincial offices struck a deal with the militants who
:04:50. > :04:54.had taken them. We have scenes of several hostages being reunited with
:04:55. > :04:58.their families. They are returned to their village here. Many talked
:04:59. > :05:03.about their nightmare experiences at the hands of the militants. Others
:05:04. > :05:04.were angry at the government and security forces for failing to
:05:05. > :05:31.protect them. The ones who were killed... The
:05:32. > :05:35.religions have taken my son with them who was about to get married.
:05:36. > :05:41.This is about incompetent officials not being able to provide security.
:05:42. > :05:46.Afghanistan was the president has vowed revenge but left questions
:05:47. > :06:00.unanswered about what this means for Afghanistan's wider fight against
:06:01. > :06:04.insurgents. Unfortunately, we are hearing this from several parts of
:06:05. > :06:10.Afghanistan. Several people have been killed intentionally although
:06:11. > :06:14.the Taliban are denying it. The local people who spoke to the BBC
:06:15. > :06:18.are saying that a number of civilians were killed, even children
:06:19. > :06:23.and elderly. Tanya Barron contradicts that. It is important,
:06:24. > :06:29.the fighting is going in an area which is considered a gateway to the
:06:30. > :06:39.provincial capital of this province. -- Caliban contradicts that. It is
:06:40. > :06:45.the first time they have gone into this area. The government has been
:06:46. > :06:49.challenged how to retake the province. The people there are
:06:50. > :06:55.saying it is a narrow area and will be challenging for the government to
:06:56. > :06:59.take it back soon. If it is confirmed independently that the
:07:00. > :07:03.Taliban and IS are cooperating, which in my view is impossible, it
:07:04. > :07:08.would be a big blow for the government. And as far as civilians
:07:09. > :07:13.are concerned, the people are giving horrific pictures from the area. If
:07:14. > :07:18.it is independently confirmed, it would be a disastrous thing and it
:07:19. > :07:24.will force the Afghan government to do more in the area though the
:07:25. > :07:30.Afghan president has recently claimed that he will take revenge on
:07:31. > :07:35.all the killings on the area. The Attorney General of Afghanistan said
:07:36. > :07:41.that the crimes committed in the area while war crimes and those who
:07:42. > :07:47.have done it could be brought to international court of justice.
:07:48. > :07:59.A South African man kidnapped in Mali has his geeky about his
:08:00. > :08:04.experiences. He was taken after beer restaurant in the budget with three
:08:05. > :08:07.other tourists. One was killed after the attack, others have been freed.
:08:08. > :08:23.This report from Milton and cosy. Free at last. Stephen McGowan told
:08:24. > :08:26.reporters of the fact that the biggest blow with the death of his
:08:27. > :08:33.mother who passed away while he was kept hostage. I am angry that I was
:08:34. > :08:37.not released prior to this. I was aware that my mother was sick --
:08:38. > :08:48.they were aware that my mother was sick. But I must let go of this. He
:08:49. > :08:53.also said that he had converted to Islam of his own accord without his
:08:54. > :08:57.captor is forcing him to. It a lot has changed since he was taken
:08:58. > :09:03.hostage six years ago in Timbuktu. When I asked in what his reaction
:09:04. > :09:10.was to find that Donald Trump is now the President of the United States,
:09:11. > :09:17.this is what he said. Donald Trump... I know he is making... From
:09:18. > :09:20.the major Eugene side, they say he is making enemies that they are
:09:21. > :09:24.pleased because they say it is good for Islam because there will be more
:09:25. > :09:30.mujahedin getting into war to fight America. That is their view. My
:09:31. > :09:37.view, I'm just in the moment. McGowan has dual citizenship, here's
:09:38. > :09:41.South African but also holds a British passport. But he made every
:09:42. > :09:48.effort to downplay his UK connection because he did not want to attract
:09:49. > :09:51.further hostility. It took a long time for the British state is to
:09:52. > :09:56.fall away. My family were pushing for this and I was pushing for this
:09:57. > :10:02.because it is dangerous to be British, I think. I think American,
:10:03. > :10:06.French and British are the top forms. At one stage, he thought he
:10:07. > :10:12.was going to be next when he witnessed a German hostage being
:10:13. > :10:17.shot and killed with an AK-47 rifle just a few feet away from him. He
:10:18. > :10:23.was taken hostage at gunpoint while on tour in Mali after finishing a
:10:24. > :10:27.stint of work in London. McGowan, his father and the head of the
:10:28. > :10:30.charity organisation which assisted them, could not admit or deny
:10:31. > :10:41.whether a ransom was paid to Al-Qaeda for his release.
:10:42. > :10:45.Stay with us. Still to come, when Mexico's most famous footballers
:10:46. > :11:00.denies links with a drug cartel. A leading charity is warning that
:11:01. > :11:07.the number of rough sleepers in England, Scotland and Wales is set
:11:08. > :11:10.to soar. The charity, Crisis, is highlighting the problem of sofa
:11:11. > :11:15.surfing web people bear down on other people's houses.
:11:16. > :11:18.It's nice when you know you've got a sofa to go to.
:11:19. > :11:20.That night you know you're going to be comfortable.
:11:21. > :11:22.It might last today, it might last tomorrow,
:11:23. > :11:25.but then that's it, I'm back out on the streets again.

:11:31. > :11:34.It gets to you a little bit because you've got your friendship
:11:35. > :11:36.with your friends, you're happy they have looked after
:11:37. > :11:39.you for a little bit, and then you know you've got to go.
:11:40. > :11:41.Then again, you're sitting there thinking every day,
:11:42. > :11:43."Right, it's a struggle, what am I going to do
:11:44. > :11:46.What have I got to get motivated for?
:11:47. > :11:49.Today's report suggests more than 68,000 people
:11:50. > :11:53.It's a hidden type of homelessness because it goes
:11:54. > :11:59.Campaigners say it's on the rise and will get worse
:12:00. > :12:07.For those sleeping rough, their patience is wearing thin.
:12:08. > :12:15.That's why people drink a lot and are on drugs.
:12:16. > :12:19.I don't blame them because they can't live.
:12:20. > :12:27.It's not difficult to find people like this here in Leicester City

:12:32. > :12:34.This man says he's been homeless for years, and he believes the main
:12:35. > :12:40.drivers for homelessness are drugs and mental health problems.
:12:41. > :12:44.He now helps those who have nowhere to go.
:12:45. > :12:47.We have new things like legal highs now that are coming out.
:12:48. > :12:50.People who are in chaos, got nowhere to turn,
:12:51. > :12:53.will take these legal highs and it just makes homelessness a bit more
:12:54. > :12:57.harder because it's hard to engage with these people.
:12:58. > :12:59.The Government says it's investing more than ?500 million
:13:00. > :13:05.It says new legislation that will be implemented next year will put
:13:06. > :13:09.pressure on councils to do more to help rough sleepers.
:13:10. > :13:12.I'm fed up of living like this, sick of it.
:13:13. > :13:17.Most days I don't make enough for what I need
:13:18. > :13:43.You're watching Outside Source,. Our lead story, Donald Trump has said
:13:44. > :13:47.his previous statements on North Korea might not have been tough
:13:48. > :13:53.enough. Meanwhile, North Korea is claiming it could be ready to fire
:13:54. > :13:57.four ballistic missiles into the US territory of Guam in the next few
:13:58. > :14:07.days. And other stories making the news. This is the Fukushima nuclear
:14:08. > :14:11.power plant in Japan. An unexploded bomb has been found in the car park

:15:05. > :15:08.and Monaco and captained his country in a record four World Cups -
:15:09. > :15:11.has given a voluntary declaration to the Mexican Attorney General's
:15:12. > :15:23.He has also said that he would cooperate with any investigation.
:15:24. > :15:28.Today, I am the subject of an investigation by the Treasury
:15:29. > :15:33.Department of the US for alleged facts relating to a criminal
:15:34. > :15:38.organisation. I categorically deny any relation with those
:15:39. > :15:43.organisations. I clarify that I have not and never participated in any of
:15:44. > :15:45.those organisations. Let's get more on this story
:15:46. > :16:00.and speak with Juan Pallier from BBC How big a star is he in his home
:16:01. > :16:05.country? He is the most loved football in the country. It is
:16:06. > :16:10.almost a religion. And it is quite successful as well. He won two
:16:11. > :16:14.championships with Barcelona but he has been a key and influential
:16:15. > :16:20.member of his national team and he was hoping to become next year, the
:16:21. > :16:23.first one to captain a team at five World Cups. He may still achieve
:16:24. > :16:29.this but right now his biggest challenge is off the pitch. What is
:16:30. > :16:34.the US Treasury saying about how they believe he may have acted as a
:16:35. > :16:40.front man? What is the allegation which he has denied? He is among a
:16:41. > :16:47.list of 21 Mexicans sanctioned by the US Treasury for having allegedly
:16:48. > :16:54.links with drug cartels here in the country. In the case of Rafah
:16:55. > :17:01.Marquez, the authorities said he was using nine of his companies, like
:17:02. > :17:06.his footballer Cammy Day, -- his football academy, this foundation,
:17:07. > :17:10.to hold funds for an alleged drug trafficker. Someone who according to
:17:11. > :17:17.the US has been working independently and for different drug
:17:18. > :17:24.cartels for three decades in Mexico. The US said that this is the largest
:17:25. > :17:28.action of this kind against a Mexican drug cartel network and in
:17:29. > :17:34.total, 42 organisations in Mexico were sanctioned. We have only got a
:17:35. > :17:38.minute left on the programme. But this must be stirring up a lot of
:17:39. > :17:46.debate in Mexico? Of course, this has been a massive shock in a
:17:47. > :17:51.country or to these drug related stories. But this is the first time
:17:52. > :17:56.that such a high-profile personality is directly linked with a drug
:17:57. > :18:03.cartel and many people are seeing this as just another dismal proof of
:18:04. > :18:08.how deeply ingrained the Mexican cartels are in society and
:18:09. > :18:16.therefore, how hard it is to tackle them. We do of course have time for
:18:17. > :18:19.Outside Source sport. We will get you an update on the world athletics
:18:20. > :18:33.Championships. The women's 400 metres hurdles has
:18:34. > :18:39.just taken place. Cardle United States with the gold. The Olympic
:18:40. > :18:45.champion also of the US took the silver. The Jamaican with the
:18:46. > :18:51.bronze. The men's triple jump, interesting. Christian Taylor set
:18:52. > :18:56.out to break the world record set by Britain's Jonathan Edwards. That did
:18:57. > :19:02.not materialise but you took the gold. He fought back after losing
:19:03. > :19:08.the lead. Clay finished with the silver that there was a big win.
:19:09. > :19:20.Christian and a wristband saying that the record of 18.29 -- the
:19:21. > :19:26.record of 18.29 remains. The men's 200 metres final, 200
:19:27. > :19:35.metres final with icicle Kuala coming up. He is up up against wage
:19:36. > :19:43.then the Kirk -- the defending champion. A Turkish athlete won his
:19:44. > :19:47.semifinal. Mitchell Blake of Great Britain runs in lane one. It
:19:48. > :19:54.promises to be a belter. Hopefully we can get the result in before the
:19:55. > :19:58.end of the programme. Now, some good news. Taking a
:19:59. > :20:02.vitamin supplement could cut the number of miscarriages and help
:20:03. > :20:07.prevent birth defects. Those were the findings of a landmark study
:20:08. > :20:12.from Australia. It has in the New England Journal of Medicine. A
:20:13. > :20:17.deficiency in a key molecule prevents embryos and baby's organ is
:20:18. > :20:22.developing in the womb and that could be solved by taking this
:20:23. > :20:26.vitamin. We are talking about B three, a common dietary supplement
:20:27. > :20:32.found in foods like... C of I can bring those foods up for you. Those
:20:33. > :20:37.like peanuts, chicken and turkey. This has been hailed by Australia's
:20:38. > :20:44.health minister as an historical medical breakthrough. Here is the
:20:45. > :20:49.lead researcher on the study. We identified that a deficiency in a
:20:50. > :20:55.molecule resulted in babies being born with birth defects and resulted
:20:56. > :21:00.in multiple miscarriages. So this means that we have been able to show
:21:01. > :21:04.in some experimental models that we can actually prevent those birth
:21:05. > :21:09.defects and miscarriages with vitamin D3. This brings hope to many
:21:10. > :21:13.people who undergo miscarriages and birth defects each year that
:21:14. > :21:17.something as simple as a dietary supplement might be able to prevent
:21:18. > :21:24.them from having to endure defects and miscarriages. The thing is, some
:21:25. > :21:27.women may not be able to get the full complement of niacin from their
:21:28. > :21:34.foods or even from Marty by the men's. So this research highlights
:21:35. > :21:42.that there are women at risk of having low fight and levels and that
:21:43. > :21:45.-- low vitamin levels and that predispose them to having babies
:21:46. > :21:52.with birth defects. We need to identify those women and which women
:21:53. > :21:56.who even though they have a healthy diet and maybe taking multivitamins,
:21:57. > :22:01.which women have low levels of NAD and how much niacin we need to give
:22:02. > :22:09.them to prevent the birth defects and the miscarriages. Several
:22:10. > :22:13.leading supermarkets have moved salads and savages from the shelves
:22:14. > :22:17.because they could contain Dutch eggs contaminated with a banned
:22:18. > :22:23.insecticide. The British Food Standards Agency says that 7000 --
:22:24. > :22:27.700,000 such eggs have been distributed over the UK, is
:22:28. > :22:33.significant increase over the initial estimate of 21,000 eggs.
:22:34. > :22:34.Danish authorities said that many eggs have been distributed around
:22:35. > :22:37.Denmark. This Belgian farmer has had
:22:38. > :22:41.to destroy not just his eggs The produce contaminated
:22:42. > :22:44.with Fipranol, an insecticide which is banned for use
:22:45. > :22:46.in the food chain. But that's where it has ended up
:22:47. > :22:50.on a potentially massive scale. TRANSLATION: You cannot put your
:22:51. > :22:54.eggs on the market for three months. And so I took the decision
:22:55. > :22:58.to kill the animals The company which came to clean
:22:59. > :23:04.and treat the red lice with a so-called organic product
:23:05. > :23:07.really used Fipranol. We have all been
:23:08. > :23:10.fooled by the seller. More than 100 farms are affected
:23:11. > :23:16.in the Netherlands too, Millions of eggs have now been
:23:17. > :23:23.pulled from supermarket The reason, Fipranol may be popular
:23:24. > :23:28.for getting rid of fleas on pets Here in the UK, we produce our own
:23:29. > :23:37.eggs but also import them. And some of the eggs from affected
:23:38. > :23:42.farms have ended up here as well. We're not talking about fresh eggs
:23:43. > :23:46.we buy off supermarket shelves. The affected eggs went
:23:47. > :23:51.into processed foods like sandwich A few days ago the Food
:23:52. > :23:56.Standards Agency said Sounds a lot but that is just .007%
:23:57. > :24:11.of all the eggs we eat every year. There is no reason why people
:24:12. > :24:14.should avoid eating eggs. Our assessment is it is very
:24:15. > :24:17.unlikely it is a public health risk. People need to not have food
:24:18. > :24:22.which contains a substance that Four supermarkets are
:24:23. > :24:27.withdrawing a limited number Others will already
:24:28. > :24:32.have been consumed. Yet another food scare,
:24:33. > :24:36.highlighting just how complex supply chains can be and how easily
:24:37. > :24:55.problems can spread. Just time to bring you this update.

:25:09. > :25:16.Hello. The weekend is not looking too bad weather wise but then in the
