Hello, this is Outside Source. The lead story, the Trump administration

told it was good to scrap the scheme to protect young undocumented

immigrant in the US from deportation. An open-ended

circumvention of immigration law that was an unconstitutional

exercise of authority by the executive branch. Vladimir Putin is

warning the world that a military stand-off with North Korea

threatened a global catastrophe. The Australian High Court is hearing a

legal challenge to a proposed postal vote on the legalisation of same-sex

marriage. A report coming up. As Russia continues to battle the

Islamic State group in Syria, we will have the extraordinary story of

the mountainous province of Dagestan which has become a key recruiting

ground for I!. And in the sport we will have the latest on the World

Cup qualifiers. -- recruiting ground for Isis. And we have the story of

two kite surfers who are trying to set a world record by travelling

1500 kilometres nonstop. President Trump cut straight to it

on Twitter this morning, telling Congress to get ready to do its job.

He wrote Daca, a reference to the deferred action for childhood

arrivals which he wants to scrap. It could affect hundreds of thousands

of immigrants. It was a system which President Obama introduced which

allowed people who were brought to the US illegally as children do have

a temporary right to live, study and work legally in the US. President

Trump wants it gone and his Attorney General explained why. I am here to

announce that the programme known as Daca is being rescinded. Do have a

lawful system of immigration that serves the national interest we

cannot admit everyone who would like to come here. It is just that

simple. That would be an open borders policy and the American

people have rightly rejected that. Therefore the nation must set and

enforce a limit on how many immigrants we admit each year and

that means all cannot be accepted. This does not mean they are bad

people ought that our nation this respect or demeaned them in any way

also it means we are properly enforcing our laws as Congress has

passed them. Let's look at the practicalities. We have been live to

New York and Washington but now to Miami. Luiz, does this mean

thousands of people in Florida will need to leave? The details are not

completely clear right now. There are about 800,000 so-called

dreamers, a lot in California and Texas and also in Florida. The

government says there will be a six-month period the people

currently in the system and they could find a more permanent solution

and legislation which is what the Trump administration says is needed

if this programme is to continue. They say they will not accept any

more Daca applications into the system but this creates a very large

degree of uncertainty for the 800,000 people, mostly Mexican

Americans. There are 600,000 people of Mexican origin who are part of

this programme and they are not sure what will happen in six months if

Congress does not act to create a more stable legislative framework.

Explain to viewers who have not heard about the scheme, getting a

Daca permit can be a transformative moment for these young people?

Definitely. There are many stories that have been covered in the media

here about how these people in many cases overcame very substantial odds

to arrive to university, perhaps the first in their family to do that.

Some of them served in the Armed Forces, but they were not part of

the legal system in the US and Daca created an expectation of a regular

means of staying in the country. It also incorporated them into

legality, into the formal labour market in the US soap all kinds of

benefits. The other thing that a lot of them say is important for them

they have lived in many cases many years, spending their entire lives

here, and they faced the prospect of deportation to a country they barely

know having left when they were two or three years old in some cases.

For many practical purposes they have grown up as Americans and they

do not see themselves as anything other than that and that is what it

has created so much uncertainty and distress in particular in the

Hispanic community but in many others as well. Thank you very much.

BBC News is not just producing stories in English, we are working

in well over 25 languages. Switching from Miami to Australia and a postal

vote on same-sex marriage is planned there but it could be stopped.

Campaigners have taken the issue to the High Court with the argument

that the cost of the vote, $100 million, was not allocated through

the correct processes. They want the matter to be dealt with by

Parliament and not in a national vote. Here is our Sydney

correspondent. It's a battle which

Australia's politicians have Now it is up to the courts to decide

if a vote on same-sex Opinion polls suggest most

Australians support marriage equality but at the moment only gay

couples with a British passport Some fear the eight-week-long

national postal vote will stoke We have already seen an intense

amount of hatred and vitriol come out through that campaigns

as well as ludicrous accusations like, you know,

children of gay parents have all these problems in school,

and that's very problematic for us. The two-day court hearing has

drawn intense scrutiny, becoming a test of the government's

authority is and its determination Given the undoubted powers under

the Constitution and given the relevant legislation,

the government is confident we have the constitutional and legal

authority to conduct the Australian marital postal survey

in the form as proposed. Those challenging the vote say

the $100 million survey We hope finally our federal

parliament will stop delaying, stop dragging this out and finally

deliver on the settled will of the Australian people

to allow all Australians to be able to marry the person they love

in the country that they love. With ballot papers due

to be sent out in a week, the court's decision is expected

to be swift. But it is unlikely to bring an end

to one of the most divisive Now the sport and we begin with the

World Cup qualifiers and a number of teams are certain to go to Russia

for the tournament next year but they are all being overshadowed by

these guys, the Syrian team. They are not quite there but still very

much in it thanks to quite a match. We can go to be BBC sport Centre.

Stories don't get much better than this? This is a terrific story,

Syria keep the dream alive and they are playing Australia over tee legs

with the winners playing someone from North and Central America and

that could still be the United States -- over tee legs. The biggest

story in the last hour is Saudi Arabia going through to the World

Cup. They are the first Arabic nation at the showpiece event since

2006 and they will join Iran, Japan, South Korea, Brazil, Mexico, Belgium

and hosts Russia in the 32 team tournament. A second-half winner

helped them beat Japan 1-0. It takes them to their fifth World Cup and

sends Australia to the play-offs. Australia needed a big win over

Thailand in order to confirm their place. Tomi Juric put them ahead but

with eight minutes to go Thailand equalised. Poor defence but a pretty

good goal. Mathew Leckie of Hertha Berlin got the winner for the

Socceroos but Saudi Arabia's superior goal difference meant

Australia were pushed into third place and they will face Syria in

the play-offs. If we had got one a bit earlier, and open them up a bit,

but... Like I said, it is heartbreaking for the players. I

thought they did not get their rewards tonight for a brilliant

performance. That was Ange Postecoglou, the Australian coach.

Syria drew 2-2 to finish third in the group. They broke through the

Iranian defence for the first in the 13th minute with a close range

header. And Iran then went ahead 2-1 but Syria pushed for an equaliser

and it came three minutes into stoppage time. This secured the

fairy tale comeback and a play-off for them. You and everyone else in

Australia were rooting for your team and everybody else for the other's?!

I don't know! I am being impartial for the BBC! But the 31 qualifiers

taking place across the globe on Tuesday, there is a full list on the

website. A lot is happening across Europe as you can appreciate. We

don't have time to go through them all but if your country is playing

you can get it on the BBC sport website and the app. One more quick

line, online ticket sales for the Winter Olympics next year open in

South Korea on Tuesday and organisers admit far fewer places

have been sold up the growing concerns over North Korea's nuclear

plans. The games take place in the country arguably with a limited

Winter sports tradition, far from the core markets of Europe and North

America so local attendance is crucial to ensure those grandstands

are full. Thank you. Good to speak to you as always. One more thing,

check these guys out, two kite servers are attempting a world

record, trying to travel further than any team has done in one go.

They are attempting to travel 1500 kilometres nonstop, which would

break their own record. It is expected to take five days and in

that time there will not be any land in sight but they will have support.

The motivation to overcome such a long distance

a goal that sometimes can look impossible but then with good

preparation, a good team and training you can reach it.

The biggest danger during this challenge

will be hitting a container during the night or even during the

Nowadays, big ships, when there is a storm they can

easily lose those containers and if we get one,

either me or the support boat, it will cause severe damage to us.

Nervous, for sure, but in a very good way.

It's nice to actually have a team partner at this time, were

If you just trust your strengths, you kind of, how do we

say in yoga, breathe over the pain and continue to go.

Take note of that, everything will be fine! This was a story from last

year, a lot of Wales in northern Europe were beaching -- a lot of

whales. Scientists think it is to do with how they navigate and the

Northern lights are also involved. Four serving members of the Army

have been arrested under anti-terror laws on suspicion of being a member

of a band neo-Nazi group. A fifth person, a civilian, has also been

arrested on the same charge. The BBC understands one of the soldiers was

detained in Cyprus, the army confirmed the arrests and said it

supported the operation. Four the men are being held at a West

Midlands Police station. Police say there were a 22-year-old from

Birmingham, a 32-year-old from Powers, a 24-year-old from Ipswich

and a 24-year-old from Northampton. Tom Symons has more.

The BBC's been told three of the men are members

of the Royal Anglian Regiment, which recruits in Norfolk, Suffolk,

Four were arrested in the UK, one in Cyprus.

That group is National Action, which described itself last year

in the language of Hitler's fascism, as a national socialist

The focus was as much on spreading neo-Nazi ideas online.

But experts say the far right is not well supported.

I think extreme right groups in Britain and others

like Britain First are very good these days at creating a sense

of greater scale using social media than is actually the case.

Probably with National Action, we're looking at people in the tens

to perhaps the low hundreds at very best.

But when the Labour MP Jo Cox was murdered by a loner influenced

by similar far right propaganda, the Government acted, proscribing

Despite their name, National Action seeks to divide

They are entirely contrary to the interests of our nation.

Proscribing this neo-Nazi group will prevent its membership growing,

prevent them spreading propaganda which allows a culture of hatred

Legally, the group should not now exist but police in Birmingham

are questioning five suspected members under counterterrorism

laws, while searches of properties are carried out.

This is Outside Source, our lead story is from Washington where the

Trump and demonstration has announced plans to scrap a scheme

which protect young, undocumented immigrant in the US from

deportation. Next on the programme, we want to talk about Dagestan. This

is a Russian republic in the volatile North Caucasus region. If

you ask Vladimir Putin how many Russian citizens fight for Islamic

State in Syria, the last time he talked about it he estimated it to

be 4000. Many of those come from Dagestan. The BBC's Steve Rosenberg

has been there and this was his report.

They used to believe that this was where the gods

If you are a regular viewer you know we have an hour of international

news and we have had reports from Dagestan, Portugal, Bangladesh, the

US and the UK and next we turn to Brazil because police have been

searching the country's Olympic Association headquarters and also it

chief and his home, Carlos Nuzman, who headed the successful bid for

Rio to host the 2016 Olympics. The police are saying they have strong

evidence of vote buying. Earlier I spoke to Camilla Costa in Sao Paulo

for the latest. What happens at this point

is that the police had been investigating this massive

corruption scheme in Now, in collaboration with

the French authorities and American authorities, they have reached

a new layer that might involve the bidding of Rio to be

the Olympic Games host What they have found out,

what they say is that one of Rio's top executives had been

in a sort of cash for top executives had been in a sort

of cash for votes scheme involving And this executive had paid African

members of the International Olympic committee for their votes

in the bidding for Rio. Presumably those being

investigated deny doing Yes, obviously they do deny

and actually the president of the Brazilian Olympic Committee

has been taken in for questioning and his lawyer denies any kind

of allegations and says that Rio's election happened without any kind

of corruption scheme and the executive in question,

Arthur Suarez, actually has not been They did look for him

in the Let's go back to early 2016. 29

pilot whales washed up on different beaches in northern Europe. In the

UK and France and the Netherlands and also in Germany and scientists

were puzzled. They did autopsies but they found they were well fed, young

and disease free but they have come up with a theory. They believe this

could have been connected to solar storms and how they disrupted the

way the animals navigated. Mat McBriar explains more. -- Matt

McGrath. Crowds gathered at Hunstanton,

on the coast of Norfolk, in February 2016, to see this ocean

giant washed up on a All around the North Sea,

more than two dozen other sperm whales were found stranded

in the first two Scientists were extremely puzzled -

the creatures were young, Now it's thought the Northern

Lights may have played The Aurora are the visible evidence

of large solar storms, which distort This can cause species

that rely on that field for navigation, like sperm whales,

to lose their way. After big solar storms in December

2015, scientists say the confused creatures swam into the shallow

North Sea and beached themselves, Researchers at London Zoo autopsied

a number of the whales We know that sperm whales

are stranded around the North Sea for many, many years historically

and it's certainly a possible factor in this instance that we have these

whales that got into the North Sea for an unknown reason and then

once they are in there, they cannot find their way out

and they become so disorientated, So that's what happened

in last year's events. Why did they end up

there in the first place? To be honest, I think

we will never know. There is too much uncertainty

around the events in this instance in terms

of where they were, where they came from,

and so on. And so I think we will really

never know what really Proving the impact of geomagnetic

storms on the strandings of sperm whales may well be impossible,

however researchers here at London Zoo and a team at Nasa

are actively investigating the impact of solar

activities on the strandings The results in that study are due

in the next month or so. That might shed some

definitive light on the role Tomorrow I am travelling to Germany

and on Thursday I will be live with you from Cologne as we bring you the

latest on the German election campaign. I will see you then and we

will be back with Outside Source tomorrow. Good night.
