Hello. I'm Philippa Thomas and this is Outside Source. The main stories. | :00:12. | :00:22. | |
Donald Trump has says statements on North Korea may not have been tough | :00:23. | :00:27. | |
enough. He says that the country should be very wary about doing | :00:28. | :00:31. | |
anything the United States. Maybe that statement was not tough enough. | :00:32. | :00:35. | |
We are backed by our military, backed by everybody. | :00:36. | :00:39. | |
There has been a drowning of migrants off the coast of Yemen and | :00:40. | :00:45. | |
many are full to be teenagers. One of Mexico's most famous | :00:46. | :00:49. | |
footballers denies connections with a Mexican cartel. | :00:50. | :00:55. | |
To get in touch with us, hashtag BBC OS. | :00:56. | :01:09. | |
There has been a second deliberate drowning of migrants off the coast | :01:10. | :01:17. | |
of Yemen. 19 people have died and more are missing. This is the second | :01:18. | :01:22. | |
incident in as many days. On Wednesday, 50 people died after | :01:23. | :01:26. | |
being pushed off a boat by smugglers fearing arrest. This information is | :01:27. | :01:34. | |
coming from the UN's migration agency and this was told us. | :01:35. | :01:43. | |
This is the same modus operandi. 150 people this time. They're worth your | :01:44. | :01:56. | |
people 22 or 23, who were the same age, same profile. But they were | :01:57. | :02:03. | |
trying to dropped in the sea close to the shore. It is may be linked to | :02:04. | :02:11. | |
the fact that maybe they have lost control at the borders and the | :02:12. | :02:15. | |
smugglers are panicking but the reaction was worse. Because instead | :02:16. | :02:20. | |
of preventing them entering they're basically continued their business | :02:21. | :02:21. | |
by killing people. We think the victims | :02:22. | :02:23. | |
were trying to get to Yemen - despite the ongoing conflict there, | :02:24. | :02:25. | |
it's still seen as a gateway And other migrant routes | :02:26. | :02:28. | |
remain just as active. It's from Cadiz, in Spain - | :02:29. | :02:36. | |
it shows a migrant boat arriving Holiday-makers in their swimsuits | :02:37. | :02:55. | |
are shocked, seeing the migrants running ashore and trying to evade | :02:56. | :02:58. | |
the authorities. Joining me is James Copnall, | :02:59. | :03:00. | |
World Service Africa editor. I asked him about the Yemen story, | :03:01. | :03:08. | |
why Yemen was attracting so many migrants. | :03:09. | :03:11. | |
I don't think it is Yemen, it is a way of getting to richer Gulf | :03:12. | :03:20. | |
countries. It is geography, it is across the water from Somalia and | :03:21. | :03:24. | |
closed Ethiopian. People have numerous routes to go to places | :03:25. | :03:27. | |
where they think they will get a better life. These people chose to | :03:28. | :03:32. | |
go the short sea trip, though quite a dangerous one, the Yemen with the | :03:33. | :03:36. | |
hope of going on other Gulf countries where could get a job and | :03:37. | :03:42. | |
live that better life. And the people traffickers, who are | :03:43. | :03:45. | |
basically dumping migrants into the sea, this could have been happening | :03:46. | :03:50. | |
and we haven't realised it? It's possible, but there is lots of | :03:51. | :03:54. | |
monitoring of that situation and the UN migration agency say that this | :03:55. | :03:58. | |
seems to be a new trend. What seems to be happening is that the | :03:59. | :04:03. | |
smugglers get near the coast, they see an authority figure, they think | :04:04. | :04:06. | |
there is a risk of being arrested, and they put people into the sea. | :04:07. | :04:11. | |
They also say that people seem to be beaten or held at gunpoint whereas | :04:12. | :04:15. | |
in other cases it has been less violent. It does seem to be | :04:16. | :04:19. | |
something of a new dimensional and obviously a worrying one for people | :04:20. | :04:22. | |
trying to make their way across that of water. | :04:23. | :04:35. | |
To Afghanistan where people were taken and 230 hostages released | :04:36. | :04:44. | |
after elders and provincial offices struck a deal with the militants who | :04:45. | :04:49. | |
had taken them. We have scenes of several hostages being reunited with | :04:50. | :04:54. | |
their families. They are returned to their village here. Many talked | :04:55. | :04:58. | |
about their nightmare experiences at the hands of the militants. Others | :04:59. | :05:03. | |
were angry at the government and security forces for failing to | :05:04. | :05:04. | |
protect them. The ones who were killed... The | :05:05. | :05:31. | |
religions have taken my son with them who was about to get married. | :05:32. | :05:35. | |
This is about incompetent officials not being able to provide security. | :05:36. | :05:41. | |
Afghanistan was the president has vowed revenge but left questions | :05:42. | :05:46. | |
unanswered about what this means for Afghanistan's wider fight against | :05:47. | :06:00. | |
insurgents. Unfortunately, we are hearing this from several parts of | :06:01. | :06:04. | |
Afghanistan. Several people have been killed intentionally although | :06:05. | :06:10. | |
the Taliban are denying it. The local people who spoke to the BBC | :06:11. | :06:14. | |
are saying that a number of civilians were killed, even children | :06:15. | :06:18. | |
and elderly. Tanya Barron contradicts that. It is important, | :06:19. | :06:23. | |
the fighting is going in an area which is considered a gateway to the | :06:24. | :06:29. | |
provincial capital of this province. -- Caliban contradicts that. It is | :06:30. | :06:39. | |
the first time they have gone into this area. The government has been | :06:40. | :06:45. | |
challenged how to retake the province. The people there are | :06:46. | :06:49. | |
saying it is a narrow area and will be challenging for the government to | :06:50. | :06:55. | |
take it back soon. If it is confirmed independently that the | :06:56. | :06:59. | |
Taliban and IS are cooperating, which in my view is impossible, it | :07:00. | :07:03. | |
would be a big blow for the government. And as far as civilians | :07:04. | :07:08. | |
are concerned, the people are giving horrific pictures from the area. If | :07:09. | :07:13. | |
it is independently confirmed, it would be a disastrous thing and it | :07:14. | :07:18. | |
will force the Afghan government to do more in the area though the | :07:19. | :07:24. | |
Afghan president has recently claimed that he will take revenge on | :07:25. | :07:30. | |
all the killings on the area. The Attorney General of Afghanistan said | :07:31. | :07:35. | |
that the crimes committed in the area while war crimes and those who | :07:36. | :07:41. | |
have done it could be brought to international court of justice. | :07:42. | :07:47. | |
A South African man kidnapped in Mali has his geeky about his | :07:48. | :07:59. | |
experiences. He was taken after beer restaurant in the budget with three | :08:00. | :08:04. | |
other tourists. One was killed after the attack, others have been freed. | :08:05. | :08:07. | |
This report from Milton and cosy. Free at last. Stephen McGowan told | :08:08. | :08:23. | |
reporters of the fact that the biggest blow with the death of his | :08:24. | :08:26. | |
mother who passed away while he was kept hostage. I am angry that I was | :08:27. | :08:33. | |
not released prior to this. I was aware that my mother was sick -- | :08:34. | :08:37. | |
they were aware that my mother was sick. But I must let go of this. He | :08:38. | :08:48. | |
also said that he had converted to Islam of his own accord without his | :08:49. | :08:53. | |
captor is forcing him to. It a lot has changed since he was taken | :08:54. | :08:57. | |
hostage six years ago in Timbuktu. When I asked in what his reaction | :08:58. | :09:03. | |
was to find that Donald Trump is now the President of the United States, | :09:04. | :09:10. | |
this is what he said. Donald Trump... I know he is making... From | :09:11. | :09:17. | |
the major Eugene side, they say he is making enemies that they are | :09:18. | :09:20. | |
pleased because they say it is good for Islam because there will be more | :09:21. | :09:24. | |
mujahedin getting into war to fight America. That is their view. My | :09:25. | :09:30. | |
view, I'm just in the moment. McGowan has dual citizenship, here's | :09:31. | :09:37. | |
South African but also holds a British passport. But he made every | :09:38. | :09:41. | |
effort to downplay his UK connection because he did not want to attract | :09:42. | :09:48. | |
further hostility. It took a long time for the British state is to | :09:49. | :09:51. | |
fall away. My family were pushing for this and I was pushing for this | :09:52. | :09:56. | |
because it is dangerous to be British, I think. I think American, | :09:57. | :10:02. | |
French and British are the top forms. At one stage, he thought he | :10:03. | :10:06. | |
was going to be next when he witnessed a German hostage being | :10:07. | :10:12. | |
shot and killed with an AK-47 rifle just a few feet away from him. He | :10:13. | :10:17. | |
was taken hostage at gunpoint while on tour in Mali after finishing a | :10:18. | :10:23. | |
stint of work in London. McGowan, his father and the head of the | :10:24. | :10:27. | |
charity organisation which assisted them, could not admit or deny | :10:28. | :10:30. | |
whether a ransom was paid to Al-Qaeda for his release. | :10:31. | :10:41. | |
Stay with us. Still to come, when Mexico's most famous footballers | :10:42. | :10:45. | |
denies links with a drug cartel. A leading charity is warning that | :10:46. | :11:00. | |
the number of rough sleepers in England, Scotland and Wales is set | :11:01. | :11:07. | |
to soar. The charity, Crisis, is highlighting the problem of sofa | :11:08. | :11:10. | |
surfing web people bear down on other people's houses. | :11:11. | :11:15. | |
It's nice when you know you've got a sofa to go to. | :11:16. | :11:18. | |
That night you know you're going to be comfortable. | :11:19. | :11:20. | |
It might last today, it might last tomorrow, | :11:21. | :11:22. | |
but then that's it, I'm back out on the streets again. | :11:23. | :11:25. | |
He goes from one house to the next, sleeping on friends' couches to try | :11:26. | :11:30. | |
It gets to you a little bit because you've got your friendship | :11:31. | :11:34. | |
with your friends, you're happy they have looked after | :11:35. | :11:36. | |
you for a little bit, and then you know you've got to go. | :11:37. | :11:39. | |
Then again, you're sitting there thinking every day, | :11:40. | :11:41. | |
"Right, it's a struggle, what am I going to do | :11:42. | :11:43. | |
What have I got to get motivated for? | :11:44. | :11:46. | |
Today's report suggests more than 68,000 people | :11:47. | :11:49. | |
It's a hidden type of homelessness because it goes | :11:50. | :11:53. | |
Campaigners say it's on the rise and will get worse | :11:54. | :11:59. | |
For those sleeping rough, their patience is wearing thin. | :12:00. | :12:07. | |
That's why people drink a lot and are on drugs. | :12:08. | :12:15. | |
I don't blame them because they can't live. | :12:16. | :12:19. | |
It's not difficult to find people like this here in Leicester City | :12:20. | :12:27. | |
centre who say they have no choice but to sleep on the streets. | :12:28. | :12:31. | |
This man says he's been homeless for years, and he believes the main | :12:32. | :12:34. | |
drivers for homelessness are drugs and mental health problems. | :12:35. | :12:40. | |
He now helps those who have nowhere to go. | :12:41. | :12:44. | |
We have new things like legal highs now that are coming out. | :12:45. | :12:47. | |
People who are in chaos, got nowhere to turn, | :12:48. | :12:50. | |
will take these legal highs and it just makes homelessness a bit more | :12:51. | :12:53. | |
harder because it's hard to engage with these people. | :12:54. | :12:57. | |
The Government says it's investing more than ?500 million | :12:58. | :12:59. | |
It says new legislation that will be implemented next year will put | :13:00. | :13:05. | |
pressure on councils to do more to help rough sleepers. | :13:06. | :13:09. | |
I'm fed up of living like this, sick of it. | :13:10. | :13:12. | |
Most days I don't make enough for what I need | :13:13. | :13:17. | |
You're watching Outside Source,. Our lead story, Donald Trump has said | :13:18. | :13:43. | |
his previous statements on North Korea might not have been tough | :13:44. | :13:47. | |
enough. Meanwhile, North Korea is claiming it could be ready to fire | :13:48. | :13:53. | |
four ballistic missiles into the US territory of Guam in the next few | :13:54. | :13:57. | |
days. And other stories making the news. This is the Fukushima nuclear | :13:58. | :14:07. | |
power plant in Japan. An unexploded bomb has been found in the car park | :14:08. | :14:11. | |
there. This is the same plant that suffered a reaction -- reactor | :14:12. | :14:19. | |
meltdown. A popular Saudi singer has been arrested for damning. Dabbling | :14:20. | :14:25. | |
is a dance move which involves tugging your hair is the crook of | :14:26. | :14:33. | |
your arm because it is -- it is dad -- banned in Saudi Arabia because it | :14:34. | :14:37. | |
is thought to refer to marry one use. -- marry one -- drug use. | :14:38. | :14:57. | |
One of Mexico's most famous footballers has denied accusations | :14:58. | :14:59. | |
by the US Treasury Department that he's connected with | :15:00. | :15:01. | |
Rafa Marquez - who's played for the likes of Barcelona | :15:02. | :15:04. | |
and Monaco and captained his country in a record four World Cups - | :15:05. | :15:08. | |
has given a voluntary declaration to the Mexican Attorney General's | :15:09. | :15:11. | |
He has also said that he would cooperate with any investigation. | :15:12. | :15:23. | |
Today, I am the subject of an investigation by the Treasury | :15:24. | :15:28. | |
Department of the US for alleged facts relating to a criminal | :15:29. | :15:33. | |
organisation. I categorically deny any relation with those | :15:34. | :15:38. | |
organisations. I clarify that I have not and never participated in any of | :15:39. | :15:43. | |
those organisations. Let's get more on this story | :15:44. | :15:45. | |
and speak with Juan Pallier from BBC How big a star is he in his home | :15:46. | :16:00. | |
country? He is the most loved football in the country. It is | :16:01. | :16:05. | |
almost a religion. And it is quite successful as well. He won two | :16:06. | :16:10. | |
championships with Barcelona but he has been a key and influential | :16:11. | :16:14. | |
member of his national team and he was hoping to become next year, the | :16:15. | :16:20. | |
first one to captain a team at five World Cups. He may still achieve | :16:21. | :16:23. | |
this but right now his biggest challenge is off the pitch. What is | :16:24. | :16:29. | |
the US Treasury saying about how they believe he may have acted as a | :16:30. | :16:34. | |
front man? What is the allegation which he has denied? He is among a | :16:35. | :16:40. | |
list of 21 Mexicans sanctioned by the US Treasury for having allegedly | :16:41. | :16:47. | |
links with drug cartels here in the country. In the case of Rafah | :16:48. | :16:54. | |
Marquez, the authorities said he was using nine of his companies, like | :16:55. | :17:01. | |
his footballer Cammy Day, -- his football academy, this foundation, | :17:02. | :17:06. | |
to hold funds for an alleged drug trafficker. Someone who according to | :17:07. | :17:10. | |
the US has been working independently and for different drug | :17:11. | :17:17. | |
cartels for three decades in Mexico. The US said that this is the largest | :17:18. | :17:24. | |
action of this kind against a Mexican drug cartel network and in | :17:25. | :17:28. | |
total, 42 organisations in Mexico were sanctioned. We have only got a | :17:29. | :17:34. | |
minute left on the programme. But this must be stirring up a lot of | :17:35. | :17:38. | |
debate in Mexico? Of course, this has been a massive shock in a | :17:39. | :17:46. | |
country or to these drug related stories. But this is the first time | :17:47. | :17:51. | |
that such a high-profile personality is directly linked with a drug | :17:52. | :17:56. | |
cartel and many people are seeing this as just another dismal proof of | :17:57. | :18:03. | |
how deeply ingrained the Mexican cartels are in society and | :18:04. | :18:08. | |
therefore, how hard it is to tackle them. We do of course have time for | :18:09. | :18:16. | |
Outside Source sport. We will get you an update on the world athletics | :18:17. | :18:19. | |
Championships. The women's 400 metres hurdles has | :18:20. | :18:33. | |
just taken place. Cardle United States with the gold. The Olympic | :18:34. | :18:39. | |
champion also of the US took the silver. The Jamaican with the | :18:40. | :18:45. | |
bronze. The men's triple jump, interesting. Christian Taylor set | :18:46. | :18:51. | |
out to break the world record set by Britain's Jonathan Edwards. That did | :18:52. | :18:56. | |
not materialise but you took the gold. He fought back after losing | :18:57. | :19:02. | |
the lead. Clay finished with the silver that there was a big win. | :19:03. | :19:08. | |
Christian and a wristband saying that the record of 18.29 -- the | :19:09. | :19:20. | |
record of 18.29 remains. The men's 200 metres final, 200 | :19:21. | :19:26. | |
metres final with icicle Kuala coming up. He is up up against wage | :19:27. | :19:35. | |
then the Kirk -- the defending champion. A Turkish athlete won his | :19:36. | :19:43. | |
semifinal. Mitchell Blake of Great Britain runs in lane one. It | :19:44. | :19:47. | |
promises to be a belter. Hopefully we can get the result in before the | :19:48. | :19:54. | |
end of the programme. Now, some good news. Taking a | :19:55. | :19:58. | |
vitamin supplement could cut the number of miscarriages and help | :19:59. | :20:02. | |
prevent birth defects. Those were the findings of a landmark study | :20:03. | :20:07. | |
from Australia. It has in the New England Journal of Medicine. A | :20:08. | :20:12. | |
deficiency in a key molecule prevents embryos and baby's organ is | :20:13. | :20:17. | |
developing in the womb and that could be solved by taking this | :20:18. | :20:22. | |
vitamin. We are talking about B three, a common dietary supplement | :20:23. | :20:26. | |
found in foods like... C of I can bring those foods up for you. Those | :20:27. | :20:32. | |
like peanuts, chicken and turkey. This has been hailed by Australia's | :20:33. | :20:37. | |
health minister as an historical medical breakthrough. Here is the | :20:38. | :20:44. | |
lead researcher on the study. We identified that a deficiency in a | :20:45. | :20:49. | |
molecule resulted in babies being born with birth defects and resulted | :20:50. | :20:55. | |
in multiple miscarriages. So this means that we have been able to show | :20:56. | :21:00. | |
in some experimental models that we can actually prevent those birth | :21:01. | :21:04. | |
defects and miscarriages with vitamin D3. This brings hope to many | :21:05. | :21:09. | |
people who undergo miscarriages and birth defects each year that | :21:10. | :21:13. | |
something as simple as a dietary supplement might be able to prevent | :21:14. | :21:17. | |
them from having to endure defects and miscarriages. The thing is, some | :21:18. | :21:24. | |
women may not be able to get the full complement of niacin from their | :21:25. | :21:27. | |
foods or even from Marty by the men's. So this research highlights | :21:28. | :21:34. | |
that there are women at risk of having low fight and levels and that | :21:35. | :21:42. | |
-- low vitamin levels and that predispose them to having babies | :21:43. | :21:45. | |
with birth defects. We need to identify those women and which women | :21:46. | :21:52. | |
who even though they have a healthy diet and maybe taking multivitamins, | :21:53. | :21:56. | |
which women have low levels of NAD and how much niacin we need to give | :21:57. | :22:01. | |
them to prevent the birth defects and the miscarriages. Several | :22:02. | :22:09. | |
leading supermarkets have moved salads and savages from the shelves | :22:10. | :22:13. | |
because they could contain Dutch eggs contaminated with a banned | :22:14. | :22:17. | |
insecticide. The British Food Standards Agency says that 7000 -- | :22:18. | :22:23. | |
700,000 such eggs have been distributed over the UK, is | :22:24. | :22:27. | |
significant increase over the initial estimate of 21,000 eggs. | :22:28. | :22:33. | |
Danish authorities said that many eggs have been distributed around | :22:34. | :22:34. | |
Denmark. This Belgian farmer has had | :22:35. | :22:37. | |
to destroy not just his eggs The produce contaminated | :22:38. | :22:41. | |
with Fipranol, an insecticide which is banned for use | :22:42. | :22:44. | |
in the food chain. But that's where it has ended up | :22:45. | :22:46. | |
on a potentially massive scale. TRANSLATION: You cannot put your | :22:47. | :22:50. | |
eggs on the market for three months. And so I took the decision | :22:51. | :22:54. | |
