:00:09. > :00:11.Hello, I'm Karin Giannone, this is Outside Source.

:00:12. > :00:14.As usual, we'll bring you a round-up of all the biggest stories

:00:15. > :00:18.In India, the Supreme Court has made a ruling on privacy that

:00:19. > :00:22.could affect the way people access benefits,

:00:23. > :00:28.In the United States, Donald Trump is on the attack on twitter -

:00:29. > :00:32.taking aim at senior figures in his own party.

:00:33. > :00:35.Prosecutors in Denmark will bring murder charges against the inventor

:00:36. > :00:43.suspected of killing a Swedish journalist on board his submarine.

:00:44. > :00:48.Net migration to the UK. The lowest level for three years. We will be

:00:49. > :00:49.live in Westminster. And if you want to get in touch -

:00:50. > :01:05.the hashtag is BBC OS. We're looking at quite

:01:06. > :01:09.a few stories today. We'll get more on the Indian

:01:10. > :01:13.Supreme Court's ruling on privacy and the implications

:01:14. > :01:15.of that with our correspondent Yet again, Donald Trump's

:01:16. > :01:18.tweets have been causing a stir on Capitol

:01:19. > :01:22.Hill in Washington. And we'll also have an update

:01:23. > :01:24.on the Kim Wall case. Earlier this week on OS

:01:25. > :01:30.we talked about ruling by the Indian Supreme Court to ban

:01:31. > :01:34.a form of Muslim divorce. Well, here's another landmark

:01:35. > :01:36.decision from the court. It's overturned two previous rulings

:01:37. > :01:38.and said that citizens do You can read what the judges had to

:01:39. > :01:46.say in full on the Supreme Court's "The right to privacy is protected

:01:47. > :01:53.as an intrinsic part of the right to life and personal liberty under

:01:54. > :02:03.Article 21". India's Law and Justice,

:02:04. > :02:08.Information Technology Minister Minister sounded happy -

:02:09. > :02:10."We welcome the verdict of the Supreme Court

:02:11. > :02:11.on #RightToPrivacy". But the ruling is widely seen

:02:12. > :02:14.as a setback for the government. The BBC's Sanjoy Majumder

:02:15. > :02:31.is in Delhi to explain why. For the past eight years, the

:02:32. > :02:38.government has collected biometric data and each citizen has provided a

:02:39. > :02:44.mandate to re-biometric number. It has been mandatory for taxes and

:02:45. > :02:47.accessing a host of other services. Many Indians believe it has given

:02:48. > :02:49.the government too much access and control over their personal

:02:50. > :02:53.information. Nobody should tell me that this

:02:54. > :02:56.is how you should live. The way I want to live,

:02:57. > :03:01.I should be accepted that way Privacy means live and let live

:03:02. > :03:05.and it is important for everybody because if somebody is always

:03:06. > :03:08.looking into your life it becomes stressful and you feel

:03:09. > :03:10.you are being judged. And there are some who believe

:03:11. > :03:13.the extensive judgment has For example, the surveillance

:03:14. > :03:18.architecture of the state here in India is growing

:03:19. > :03:24.exponentially and fast and it has been growing without trammels

:03:25. > :03:34.and so the fact that the right to privacy has been

:03:35. > :03:37.explicitly and by such a large bench laid

:03:38. > :03:39.down, and it includes The Aadhaar identity system

:03:40. > :03:44.was meant to cut red tape and curb corruption while delivering basic

:03:45. > :03:46.services and welfare But it has left many concerned

:03:47. > :03:51.that the data could be After today's court decision,

:03:52. > :03:56.the entire future of this ambitious The White House has just

:03:57. > :04:06.held a press conference. In it, Press Secretary Sarah

:04:07. > :04:08.Huckabee-Sanders responded to reports that relationships

:04:09. > :04:23.between the president and Republican I think the relationships are fine.

:04:24. > :04:30.There will be some policy differences. There are also a lot of

:04:31. > :04:36.shared goals. That is what we focus on. We are disappointed that they

:04:37. > :04:40.failed to get Obamacare repealed. But he has worked to reach out to

:04:41. > :04:44.other members and work on those shared goals and we will continue to

:04:45. > :04:45.do that when the Senate comes back from recess.

:04:46. > :04:47.The questions come after the president once again used

:04:48. > :04:50.Specifically, Paul Ryan, speaker of the house

:04:51. > :04:52.of representatives - and Mitch McConnell -

:04:53. > :05:07.I requested that Mitch M and Paul R tie the Debt Ceiling legislation

:05:08. > :05:10.into the popular VA Bill (which just for easy approval.

:05:11. > :05:12.They didn't do it so now we have a big deal

:05:13. > :05:15.with Dems holding them up (as on Debt Ceiling approval.

:05:16. > :05:23.I turned to Barbara Plett Usher to explain.

:05:24. > :05:29.The government is going to reach the limit of the amount of money it can

:05:30. > :05:33.borrow by the end of September so Congress has two votes to increase

:05:34. > :05:38.that limit so that the government does not default on its debt but it

:05:39. > :05:44.is always controversial. President Trump said that he suggested to Paul

:05:45. > :05:47.Ryan that the legislation was linked to something more popular like

:05:48. > :05:53.medical care for veterans. They could have done it, but they did

:05:54. > :05:58.not, therefore, he says it will be a big mess. Paul Ryan says he looked

:05:59. > :06:03.into that option but did not go to it and it would have added a layer

:06:04. > :06:08.of political complexity to the whole issue. But the wider point is that

:06:09. > :06:11.this is the latest salvo in an extraordinary and escalating feud

:06:12. > :06:15.between the president and the party leaders. This is just before quite

:06:16. > :06:22.an important season of legislation comes up in Congress. As you

:06:23. > :06:26.mention, if Donald Trump keeps going for senior Republicans in this way,

:06:27. > :06:33.how much trickier is passing legislation going to be? Very

:06:34. > :06:38.tricky. It will not help. They need each other to pass legislation, they

:06:39. > :06:44.have to work together. You saw some attempts to work together and smooth

:06:45. > :06:47.over this. The White House and Mitch McConnell's offers issued statements

:06:48. > :06:52.trying to downplay the idea that there is a feud between Mitch

:06:53. > :06:56.McConnell and Donald Trump. They said they were working together on

:06:57. > :07:01.shared goals but it is clear that no one is happy with the way things are

:07:02. > :07:04.going. Never mind the debt ceiling, you could have a brawl over the

:07:05. > :07:08.budget. Congress has to pass a budget before the government runs

:07:09. > :07:13.out of money. That will have to happen in the next month also and

:07:14. > :07:18.Donald Trump wants to make sure that spending on his war with Mexico is

:07:19. > :07:22.included. This week he called for a government shutdown if that money

:07:23. > :07:28.was not included in the budget, and that also made Republican leaders

:07:29. > :07:34.very angry. Stay with us, I want to talk about this other tweet we have

:07:35. > :07:41.received. Talking about charities, an ageing charity has cancelled its

:07:42. > :07:49.immense at Donald Trump's club. He also posted pictures, showing the

:07:50. > :07:52.galas at Donald Trump's plays books before Charlottesville and then also

:07:53. > :07:57.this shows the insulations that there have been. Since his comment

:07:58. > :08:02.about what happened in Charlottesville. Barbara, it seems

:08:03. > :08:09.the fallout from what he said about Charlottesville goes on and on? Yes,

:08:10. > :08:14.in terms of charities, that seems to be the case. Every group from the

:08:15. > :08:19.American Cancer Society to the local zoo, it seems is pulling out. Over

:08:20. > :08:28.20 have cancelled. Many of them after the Charlottesville incident

:08:29. > :08:32.when Donald Trump defended protesters who marched with

:08:33. > :08:35.neo-Nazis. They say it is about protecting diversity, others say

:08:36. > :08:40.they don't want all these is used to distract from their calls. But it is

:08:41. > :08:46.clear that his resort is not as cool a place as it used to be. It may

:08:47. > :08:47.affect is income but it will also affect his image, which is what

:08:48. > :08:51.concerns him. Thank you. An update to bring you

:08:52. > :08:53.on the Kim Wall case. Prosecutors in Denmark say

:08:54. > :08:56.they will bring murder charges against the man suspected of killing

:08:57. > :08:58.the Swedish journalist. He is the inventor of the submarine

:08:59. > :09:01.she was last seen alive on. Here's Elisabeth Thiis from Danish

:09:02. > :09:15.broadcaster TV2 with the latest. Late this afternoon, Swedish police

:09:16. > :09:29.found what seems to be a body part of the Swedish person. Just --

:09:30. > :09:33.office readers coast, where it is too early to say whether the body

:09:34. > :09:37.part is related to the Kim Wall case but the Danish police are keeping it

:09:38. > :09:50.in mind at the moment. Prosecutors say that they plan to bring murder

:09:51. > :09:56.charges against Peter Medsen. They are already charging him with

:09:57. > :10:01.murder. The new charges are for a felony, abuse of corpse. The new

:10:02. > :10:05.charges will be asked for at the latest at the beginning of

:10:06. > :10:10.September. He is facing charges of murder and the abuse of a corpse.

:10:11. > :10:16.The murder charge we know that he is not guilty. Tell us a little about

:10:17. > :10:23.the story, the background. What had Kim Wall been doing Richie agreed to

:10:24. > :10:28.take this trip on a submarine? As we know it, Kim Wall was planning on

:10:29. > :10:37.writing a story about the submarine. Not many people have private

:10:38. > :10:46.submarines in the world. Peter Madsen had invented this -- and it

:10:47. > :10:48.was one of the largest submarines in the world. That's all we know.

:10:49. > :10:51.Everything else is speculation. Stay with us on Outside Source -

:10:52. > :10:53.still to come... Net migration to the UK has

:10:54. > :10:56.falled to the lowest level for three years -

:10:57. > :10:58.and lots of people think The number of teenagers gaining

:10:59. > :11:11.the highest GCSE passes has gone down slightly,

:11:12. > :11:13.after exam boards moved For the first time, students

:11:14. > :11:17.in England have been graded from nine to one in English

:11:18. > :11:19.language, literature and maths. The Schools Minister for England,

:11:20. > :11:21.Nick Gibb, insists the government has taken steps to ensure

:11:22. > :11:46.the new grading system accurately I have been impressed by the way

:11:47. > :11:50.schools have responded. The system has been designed so that the

:11:51. > :11:55.students taking it for the first time will not be disadvantaged. That

:11:56. > :12:01.is what comparative outcomes is about. You will see the same

:12:02. > :12:06.proportions achieving the top grades as if they had taken them in the

:12:07. > :12:07.previous year. So no student will be disadvantaged because we have

:12:08. > :12:14.introduced the new GCSEs. This is Outside Source live

:12:15. > :12:21.from the BBC newsroom. India's Supreme Court

:12:22. > :12:24.has ruled that citizens It's being seen as a landmark

:12:25. > :12:28.judgment - and will have serious implications for the Indian

:12:29. > :12:30.government's identity card system. Chechnya's leader Ramzan Kadyrov

:12:48. > :12:53.more than 500 people are now known to have died in last week's mudslide

:12:54. > :12:58.and flash floods in And one of the most read

:12:59. > :13:10.stories at BBC.com - a split among scientists over

:13:11. > :13:12.whether these animals - The BBC has found that while some

:13:13. > :13:17.big cat exerts say the population has stabilised and is even

:13:18. > :13:19.increasing in some places, others argue there isn't

:13:20. > :13:26.enough solid evidence. Net migration has fallen

:13:27. > :13:28.to the lowest level for three It fell by 81,000 -

:13:29. > :13:35.and the interesting thing is a large part of that is migration from other

:13:36. > :13:38.EU member states - And of course a lot of people

:13:39. > :13:48.are making the link the deputy political editor

:13:49. > :13:50.of the Mirror newspaper does in this tweet -

:13:51. > :14:06."Latest #migration stats "affected Let's talk to Emma Vardy. How much

:14:07. > :14:13.of this is being attributed to Brexit? The office of National the

:14:14. > :14:20.cystic say that some of this maybe a result of new referendum result --

:14:21. > :14:25.the Office of National Statistics. But they say it is too soon to say

:14:26. > :14:29.whether it is the start of a longer term trends. Other factors, the

:14:30. > :14:34.value of the pound has dropped so Britain may seem like a less

:14:35. > :14:38.attractive place to, for EU citizens for people who want to come here and

:14:39. > :14:43.save up, the money they earn in Britain will pay for less back home.

:14:44. > :14:49.That could also be another factor. Some other countries in the EU,

:14:50. > :14:54.there economies are growing faster, for example Poland where the

:14:55. > :14:58.government is lobbying workers to keep their skills there rather than

:14:59. > :15:04.take them abroad. As to whether it is down to the referendum result,

:15:05. > :15:07.whether people are fleeing, it is more anecdotal evidence and we will

:15:08. > :15:12.have to see whether this trend of net migration reducing from you

:15:13. > :15:16.countries reduces. And how does this figure tally with what the

:15:17. > :15:17.government has stated it wanted to do in terms of numbers of people

:15:18. > :15:25.coming to the UK? The target of getting net

:15:26. > :15:27.migration down to the tens of thousands still

:15:28. > :15:46.looks a long way off. So why keep the target? Immigration

:15:47. > :15:49.is a political big subject and it might be difficult for the

:15:50. > :15:54.Conservatives to abandon their target even though it is being

:15:55. > :15:57.missed. The government has reiterated it is committed to

:15:58. > :16:01.bringing immigration down to the tens of thousands but it is

:16:02. > :16:05.providing reassurance at the same time to EU citizens, we welcome you,

:16:06. > :16:10.we welcome people with the right skills. It is difficult to make

:16:11. > :16:15.those two things tally but if the government was to abandon its

:16:16. > :16:18.target, it leaves its offer open to attack from people who might say

:16:19. > :16:22.they are backsliding on their promises and not delivering what

:16:23. > :16:27.people voted for in the referendum. Because immigration was such a big

:16:28. > :16:32.debating point during that campaign. Emma Vardy, thank you very much.

:16:33. > :16:35.Last night on Outside Source we broke the news that a rock

:16:36. > :16:37.concert in the Netherlands had been cancelled because

:16:38. > :16:40.The concert was supposed to happen in Rotterdam.

:16:41. > :16:42.Police say they got a tip-off from the Spanish authorities.

:16:43. > :16:47.The American band Allah-Las was due to play at this venue.

:16:48. > :16:53.Initially the focus was on a van and its Spanish driver.

:16:54. > :16:56.and the driver was behaving suspiciously.

:16:57. > :17:07.But police now say he was drunk and not a terror suspect.

:17:08. > :17:09.But today a 22-year old man was arrested in

:17:10. > :17:24.The focus of the investigation has moved to Brandt. Police have

:17:25. > :17:32.arrested a 22-year-old man and questioned on links. There was a

:17:33. > :17:36.tip-off from the Spanish police that a gig performed by the American rock

:17:37. > :17:39.group Allah-Las might be the focus of an attack. The police in

:17:40. > :17:48.Rotterdam say they cleared the venue immediately as a precaution. We

:17:49. > :17:53.asked of the public was in any danger and they say it is too soon

:17:54. > :17:57.to say. Allah-Las are an American rock group and have talked about

:17:58. > :18:01.receiving messages of concern from Muslims who don't like the use of

:18:02. > :18:07.Allah, the Arabic word for God, indie band's title. As far as the

:18:08. > :18:14.Spanish van driver who was detained close to this music venue last

:18:15. > :18:18.night, he is being questioned on suspicion of drunk driving, he is

:18:19. > :18:27.not suspected of having any links to the possible terror attack at the

:18:28. > :18:32.music venue. Here in Rotterdam. The police have told us that the fact

:18:33. > :18:37.they acted so swiftly is that they were not prepared to take any

:18:38. > :18:42.chances. Swiss police a eight people are

:18:43. > :18:46.missing following a landslide. Eight people are missing and Jo Digest are

:19:05. > :19:08.Residents were evacuated immediately, and helicopters plucked

:19:09. > :19:16.At first, rescue workers thought everybody was safe.

:19:17. > :19:20.TRANSLATION: Overnight, we have received reports of missing people.

:20:29. > :20:32.Top billing goes to the host - US Fed Chief Janet Yellen -

:20:33. > :20:35.so what will investors be listening out for?

:20:36. > :20:38.Top of the list will be the feds policy on US interest rates,

:20:39. > :20:40.there have been three rises since December and markets will be

:20:41. > :20:43.watching to see if Mrs Yellen offers any indication on her plans

:20:44. > :20:48.It's also thought that she might lay out plans to shed some

:20:49. > :20:52.of the $4.5 trillion in bonds - that's debts to you and me -

:20:53. > :20:54.that the bank acquired as part of its aggressive money printing

:20:55. > :21:01.programme after the financial crisis.

:21:02. > :21:08.Let's talk to our correspondent in New York. Hello, why should anyone

:21:09. > :21:14.care about a bunch of central bankers having a meeting? Ever since

:21:15. > :21:20.the financial crisis, we have seen the role central bankers have played

:21:21. > :21:23.in our lives in terms of the extraordinary monetary policies they

:21:24. > :21:27.enacted to stimulate the economy after the credit crunch. Whether

:21:28. > :21:33.that was low interest rates or quantitative easing, pushing out

:21:34. > :21:36.money to still relate growth. Interestingly, there was an article

:21:37. > :21:41.in the Wall Street Journal yesterday saying that around the world, all of

:21:42. > :21:45.the economies are growing in a way we have not seen for a long time.

:21:46. > :21:50.For many of the central bankers, they return here not so much saying

:21:51. > :21:54.job done, but how do they start to remove the stimulus? This is what

:21:55. > :22:01.investors will be looking for from the speeches. To see what clues they

:22:02. > :22:09.can lick learner. Yes, you mentioned a lot of focus on Janet Yellen and

:22:10. > :22:15.also the head of the European Central Bank. What might he have to

:22:16. > :22:24.say? In a way, his speech is more

:22:25. > :22:30.important. Janet Yellen's tenure may be over soon. So people are focusing

:22:31. > :22:37.on the head of the European Central Bank. He gave a talk at another

:22:38. > :22:41.conference in Portugal recently and got the market overexcited and was

:22:42. > :22:44.forced to row back on his comments so people do not know whether he

:22:45. > :22:49.will try to play it safe this Friday and not say too much or whether he

:22:50. > :22:52.will reveal the thinking of the European Central Bank when it comes

:22:53. > :22:57.to stepping back from these extraordinary measures. What is the

:22:58. > :23:01.time frame? How will they do this? That is the sort of thing Wall

:23:02. > :23:07.Street wants to hear. Michelle, thank you very much.

:23:08. > :23:10.We are also continuing our week-long series on the business of death -

:23:11. > :23:12.looking at the financial issues raised by aging

:23:13. > :23:16.Today we are in Singapore - where like many advanced Asian

:23:17. > :23:19.economies the number of older people is on the rise -

:23:51. > :23:55.like him. It costs $10 million annually to run the centre, with

:23:56. > :24:04.funds from charitable donations, the government and patients. He says he

:24:10. > :24:16.also sings to help lift spirits there. He says this charitable

:24:17. > :24:24.aspect of the Centre is crucial. As our population ages and we get more

:24:25. > :24:29.end of life issues, it is getting difficult for families to manage

:24:30. > :24:34.patients on their own and it takes a lot of resources. We have 400

:24:35. > :24:41.volunteers and they participate in the lives of our patients and their

:24:48. > :24:51.elderly population. These patients get round-the-clock care to manage

:24:52. > :24:56.their pain and their symptoms. But there is a shortage of such

:24:57. > :25:02.facilities and a waiting list for this one. A sure sign that demand

:25:03. > :25:06.for hospices is bound to grow. But it's not for everyone. Some

:25:07. > :25:12.preferred to stick within their own home. This is where the private

:25:13. > :25:16.sector is hoping to fill the gap. I do see an opportunity for the

:25:17. > :25:21.private sector to engage in palliative care. I can imagine an

:25:22. > :25:27.Uber type model where consumers and suppliers are allowed to interact

:25:28. > :25:32.with each other. But nobody was to pay for end of life care so to make

:25:33. > :25:38.these models sustainable, you will need government funding. Death is an

:25:39. > :25:44.inevitable human experience but because of the cost of such care,

:25:45. > :25:48.centres like the Dover Park Ospreys count on their volunteers. Because
