0:00:00 > 0:00:14weather warnings in force. Details online.

0:00:14 > 0:00:16Hello, I'm Ros Atkins, this is Outside Source.

0:00:16 > 0:00:17America is moving towards recognising Jerusalem

0:00:17 > 0:00:18as Israel's capital.

0:00:18 > 0:00:21President Trump called regional leaders today to say he'll move

0:00:21 > 0:00:22the US embassy there.

0:00:22 > 0:00:24That totally destroys any chance he will play a role

0:00:24 > 0:00:25as an honest broker.

0:00:25 > 0:00:28Until now America's policy was that Jerusalem's status should be

0:00:28 > 0:00:30negotiated by the Israelis and the Palestinians.

0:00:30 > 0:00:34That's changing - we'll report from Washington and Jerusalem.

0:00:34 > 0:00:37We'll be live in Lausanne - Russia's been banned

0:00:37 > 0:00:41from the 2018 Winter Olympics for state-sponsored doping.

0:00:41 > 0:00:44These were the extraordinary scenes in Ukraine.

0:00:44 > 0:00:49That's the former Georgian president Mikheil Saakashvili being detained.

0:00:49 > 0:00:53But then...

0:00:53 > 0:00:57Freed.

0:01:01 > 0:01:03And we'll be live in Westminster with the latest

0:01:03 > 0:01:13on the stalled Brexit.

0:01:26 > 0:01:31Welcome to Outside Source.

0:01:31 > 0:01:35President Trump has announced he intends to move the US embassy

0:01:35 > 0:01:39in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem - he did so in a number of calls

0:01:39 > 0:01:42to leaders in the region.

0:01:42 > 0:01:45This is hugely significant - it could be a step towards

0:01:45 > 0:01:50recognising Jerusalem as Israel's capital - no country has gone that

0:01:50 > 0:01:52far since Israel's creation in 1948.

0:01:52 > 0:01:55King Abdullah of Jordan told Mr Trump this could have "dangerous

0:01:55 > 0:02:04repercussions on the stability and security of the region".

0:02:04 > 0:02:06A spokesman for the Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas

0:02:06 > 0:02:16said he has urged Russia, France and the Pope, "to intervene

0:02:17 > 0:02:18to prevent it from happening."

0:02:18 > 0:02:24Here's the reaction of Turkish president, Recep Tayyip Erdogan.

0:02:24 > 0:02:28TRANSLATION:I would like to reiterate my sadness over reports

0:02:28 > 0:02:34the US is getting ready to recognise Jerusalem as Israel's capital. Mr

0:02:34 > 0:02:41Trump, Jerusalem is the red line for Muslims. We will continue our fight

0:02:41 > 0:02:45until the last minute. This can go as far as cutting diplomatic ties

0:02:45 > 0:02:57with Israel.Israel sees Jerusalem as its eternal, undivided capital

0:02:57 > 0:03:00and it has long been a source of frustration for Israeli leaders that

0:03:00 > 0:03:06there is no recognition of its full sovereignty over the city, but

0:03:06 > 0:03:10Palestinians want East Jerusalem as the capital of their future

0:03:10 > 0:03:12independent state. It has been the international

0:03:12 > 0:03:19consensus for a long time now that the status of the city should be

0:03:19 > 0:03:23decided in a negotiated peace deal between Israel and the Palestinians.

0:03:23 > 0:03:26The east of Jerusalem of course was captured by Israel in the 1967

0:03:26 > 0:03:31Middle East war, later annexed in a move that is not recognised

0:03:31 > 0:03:37internationally. That is really all the sensitivities. At the moment,

0:03:37 > 0:03:40all countries that have an embassy in Israel keep them in or close to

0:03:40 > 0:03:44Tel Aviv, and they have consulates in Jerusalem. This is a big

0:03:44 > 0:03:53departure by Mr Trump.Next the BBC State Department correspondent on

0:03:53 > 0:03:58why this is such a big shift in policy.The Americans have followed

0:03:58 > 0:04:03the international community on this, because its controversial for two

0:04:03 > 0:04:07reasons, one because both Israelis and Palestinians claim it, Israelis

0:04:07 > 0:04:10say they want East Jerusalem as their capital, so that is something

0:04:10 > 0:04:16that should be decided in final status negotiations. This is a place

0:04:16 > 0:04:21that also is claimed wholly to three religions, Christianity, Judaism and

0:04:21 > 0:04:25Islam. There is a UN resolution that says the status of Jerusalem should

0:04:25 > 0:04:31be separate or decided ultimately in a way that satisfies all of those

0:04:31 > 0:04:34religions, so it does not actually recognise Israeli sovereignty over

0:04:34 > 0:04:39any part of Jerusalem. It's a very contentious issue. The position of

0:04:39 > 0:04:42the US has been told now that status should be decided in final

0:04:42 > 0:04:47negotiations on a peace deal between Israel and the Palestinians. If Mr

0:04:47 > 0:04:51Trump announces he will move the embassy, either right away or at

0:04:51 > 0:04:55some point definitively, or if he says they will recognise Jerusalem

0:04:55 > 0:05:03as the capital of Israel, then that is a big departure from the previous

0:05:03 > 0:05:09US policy. It also flies in the face of pretty much everyone else, the

0:05:09 > 0:05:14US's allies in the region, its enemies, and the United Nations.

0:05:14 > 0:05:16The International Olympic Committee' says Russia will be banned

0:05:16 > 0:05:20from the Winter Olympics.

0:05:20 > 0:05:23But Russian athletes who can prove they are clean will be allowed

0:05:23 > 0:05:26to compete under a neutral flag - we're not sure yet if Moscow

0:05:26 > 0:05:29will let that happen.

0:05:29 > 0:05:32The Games start in February in Pyeongchang in South Korea.

0:05:32 > 0:05:37The ban is because of allegations the Russian government orchestrated

0:05:37 > 0:05:39large-scale cheating at the last Winter Games -

0:05:39 > 0:05:43which were in in Sochi in Russia.

0:05:43 > 0:05:46Russia denies this by the way.

0:05:46 > 0:05:49It hasn't stopped the IOC banning Russian Deputy Prime Minister

0:05:49 > 0:05:51and former sports minister Vitaly Mutko from all

0:05:51 > 0:05:58future olympic games.

0:05:58 > 0:06:00He's also the Chairman for the 2018 Russia World Cup.

0:06:00 > 0:06:10Here's the IOC President Thomas Bach.

0:06:15 > 0:06:19The report clearly lays out an unprecedented attack on the

0:06:19 > 0:06:25integrity of the Olympic Games and support. The report includes in

0:06:25 > 0:06:30particular the manipulation of the anti-doping love for Tory at the

0:06:30 > 0:06:40Olympic Winter games in Sochi, 2014. As an athlete myself, I am feeling

0:06:40 > 0:06:48very sorry for all the clean athletes. -- anti-doping lavatory

0:06:48 > 0:06:49cleaner

0:06:57 > 0:07:01never before has a country been banned by anti-doping violations.

0:07:01 > 0:07:05This is an Olympic superpower, a real heavyweight. It has proved in

0:07:05 > 0:07:09the end that the IOC had no choice but to issue the sanction. It was

0:07:09 > 0:07:14expected given the evidence had been mounting, which had always denied

0:07:14 > 0:07:19state-sponsored doping, and crucially a report given by our

0:07:19 > 0:07:23previous Swiss President looking into the wider issue of whether this

0:07:23 > 0:07:28doping had been a state led conspiracy between the years of 2011

0:07:28 > 0:07:33and 2015, as laid out in Professor McLaren's report last year, he

0:07:33 > 0:07:37agreed with him. It was systemic manipulation, of the anti-doping

0:07:37 > 0:07:41rules, Russia was guilty of that, it was state-sponsored doping and

0:07:41 > 0:07:47that's why the IOC has been able to issue this tough penalties today.

0:07:47 > 0:07:48The President of Russia's Olympic Committee says

0:07:48 > 0:07:49he will appeal the ban.

0:07:49 > 0:07:52As Alex told us, these allegations aren't new.

0:07:52 > 0:07:55In 2015, report by the World Anti-Doping Agency,

0:07:55 > 0:08:00Wada, found evidence of state-sponsored doping in Russia.

0:08:00 > 0:08:02Then last year this man Richard McLaren led an independent

0:08:02 > 0:08:05report and found that more than 1,000 competitors in more

0:08:05 > 0:08:07than 30 sports had been involved in a conspiracy to conceal positive

0:08:07 > 0:08:14drug tests - over a five-year period.

0:08:14 > 0:08:16There have already been consequences.

0:08:16 > 0:08:18The Russian cross-country skier Alexander Legkov was one

0:08:18 > 0:08:22of the first to be stripped of his Sochi medals.

0:08:22 > 0:08:32He's one of 25 Russians who have been banned for life.

0:08:35 > 0:08:39Let's talk to our correspondent from BBC Russia. Russia say they did not

0:08:39 > 0:08:43do this but there is a lot of evidence.You may laugh but Russians

0:08:43 > 0:08:48keep saying there is no evidence, that's what they claim. They say all

0:08:48 > 0:08:55this is based on words of just one man, who is cold a national traitor

0:08:55 > 0:08:58now in Russia and is under investigation at the moment. He

0:08:58 > 0:09:05underlined that there is no document saying let's start the doping

0:09:05 > 0:09:10programme or whatever, so it's pure politics, it's just another version

0:09:10 > 0:09:16of Western sanctions, that's the narrative.This idea of Russians

0:09:16 > 0:09:20competing under a neutral flag, will gladly repeat in Dover that?It's

0:09:20 > 0:09:27hard to tell, we need to wait till tomorrow morning.-- will of

0:09:27 > 0:09:32Vladimir Putin go for that?The Kremlin will take a while to go for

0:09:32 > 0:09:42that. We'll take this decision on the 12th, when all the Russian

0:09:42 > 0:09:47national team members will meet to discuss it.As this had any ability

0:09:47 > 0:09:53on Russia's ability to host the World Cup?At the moment, Fifa said

0:09:53 > 0:09:59these are two separate events it will look into the reports, but at

0:09:59 > 0:10:06the moment they will only act based on the hard evidence.Thank you. If

0:10:06 > 0:10:08you speak Russian, you can get news through BBC Russia .com.

0:10:08 > 0:10:14The Trump Russia story continues to evolve at speed.

0:10:14 > 0:10:16First - remember this at the weekend.

0:10:25 > 0:10:27That's the President admitting he knew Michael Flynn

0:10:27 > 0:10:30had broken the law.

0:10:30 > 0:10:31Some suggested the tweet could be an admission

0:10:31 > 0:10:34of obstruction of justice.

0:10:34 > 0:10:37Well Mr Trump's lawyer has told the media outlet Axios

0:10:37 > 0:10:40"The president cannot obstruct justice because he is the chief law

0:10:40 > 0:10:42enforcement officer under the Constitution's Article II

0:10:42 > 0:10:50and has every right to express his view of any case".

0:10:50 > 0:10:54In other words, the president is above the law.

0:10:54 > 0:10:58Mr Dowd also claimed he wrote that tweet -

0:10:58 > 0:11:01if he did, he does a good job of mastering Mr Trump's

0:11:01 > 0:11:04distinctive style.

0:11:04 > 0:11:06Anthony Zurcher spoke to us from Washington about this

0:11:06 > 0:11:11latest intervention.

0:11:11 > 0:11:15For a President's lawyer to say he is writing tweets for the president

0:11:15 > 0:11:19to immerse himself in an ongoing controversy like this is remarkable.

0:11:19 > 0:11:26But I have to point out that the idea that the president is above and

0:11:26 > 0:11:31obstruction of justice charge is a relatively controversial, novel view

0:11:31 > 0:11:34of residential culpability. If you will remember when Bill Clinton was

0:11:34 > 0:11:37impeached there were quite a few Republican senators who voted to

0:11:37 > 0:11:41convict him in the Senate trial, based on obstruction of justice

0:11:41 > 0:11:48allegations. I think this may be the defence that the administration is

0:11:48 > 0:11:53constructing here, but I doubt it will be an iron clad one.I

0:11:53 > 0:11:56appreciate your not a lawyer, Anthony, but in layman 's terms, how

0:11:56 > 0:12:02do we define obstruction of justice in terms of what the president did

0:12:02 > 0:12:08or I think in this case, the question is whether the President

0:12:08 > 0:12:11knewthat Michael Flynn had committed some kind of criminality,

0:12:11 > 0:12:18lied to the FBI, then he went about trying to disrupt the investigation,

0:12:18 > 0:12:22telling FBI director James Comey to go easy on Michael Flynn, that he

0:12:22 > 0:12:27was a good guy, taking other steps possibly to make it more difficult

0:12:27 > 0:12:31to investigate Michael Flynn for criminal acts that at least

0:12:31 > 0:12:39according to this tweet if you believe it at face value, criminal

0:12:39 > 0:12:43acts the president himself was aware. Politics will say this is not

0:12:43 > 0:12:46a case that looks directly at formula should be investigating

0:12:46 > 0:12:56which is Russian meddling in the US election. This is a process case

0:12:56 > 0:13:00that could be a direction Robert Mueller is going in.

0:13:00 > 0:13:02The Democrat John Conyers has resigned from Congress.

0:13:02 > 0:13:05He's been mired in allegations that he sexually harassed aids.

0:13:05 > 0:13:08He denies the claims and in announcing his resignation

0:13:08 > 0:13:12he said "My legacy can't be compromised or diminished in any way

0:13:12 > 0:13:15by what we are going through now".

0:13:15 > 0:13:18"This too shall pass."

0:13:18 > 0:13:21Here's Anthony again.

0:13:23 > 0:13:25Stay with us on Outside Source - still to come.

0:13:25 > 0:13:29We're going to turn to Yemen to look at how the killing of former

0:13:29 > 0:13:31President Ali Abdullah Saleh could impact the country's

0:13:31 > 0:13:34ongoing civil war.

0:13:41 > 0:13:43An independent review into the terrorist attack

0:13:43 > 0:13:45in Manchester, in which 22 people were killed, has concluded that

0:13:45 > 0:13:47MI5 and the police may have had opportunities

0:13:47 > 0:13:50to prevent the bombing.

0:13:50 > 0:13:52David Anderson QC, who lead the review, said that while security

0:13:52 > 0:13:55services were closing in on the bomber, Salman Abedi,

0:13:55 > 0:13:58it is "conceivable the attack might have been avoided had the cards

0:13:58 > 0:14:08fallen differently".

0:14:09 > 0:14:13A young man, Salman Abedi, who they had no reason to be particularly

0:14:13 > 0:14:18suspicious of, though he certainly had some bad associates. Despite

0:14:18 > 0:14:22that they got quite close to him, they had peripheral vision of what

0:14:22 > 0:14:27he was perhaps thinking of planning. At the end of the day, they were too

0:14:27 > 0:14:31late, they had a meeting scheduled just a few days after the attack. To

0:14:31 > 0:14:34decide what should be done about this man, and by then of course it

0:14:34 > 0:14:38was too late. We can see with hindsight that that intelligence was

0:14:38 > 0:14:41highly relevant to the attack this man was planning at the Manchester

0:14:41 > 0:14:45Arena. At the time that was not appreciated. Understandably, we can

0:14:45 > 0:14:48see was a mistake.

0:15:02 > 0:15:03 The Palestinian, Egyptian,

0:15:03 > 0:15:05Jordanian and Turkish leaders have all warned President Trump

0:15:05 > 0:15:08that his plans to move the American embassy in Israel to Jerusalem

0:15:08 > 0:15:10will have dangerous consequences.

0:15:16 > 0:15:19Monday wasn't the start of the week Theresa May was looking for.

0:15:19 > 0:15:21She'd travelled to Brussels hoping to announce

0:15:21 > 0:15:22progress on Brexit talks.

0:15:22 > 0:15:24Only to find out, she could do nothing of the sort

0:15:24 > 0:15:29because of what one party in Northern Ireland thinks.

0:15:29 > 0:15:33Back in Westminster, the Prime Minister relies on the DUP

0:15:33 > 0:15:37to have a functioning majority - so when they pulled the plug

0:15:37 > 0:15:40on a plan for the Irish border, that was that.

0:15:40 > 0:15:43Well Mrs May regrouped BOX one with a cabinet meeting.

0:15:51 > 0:15:56Here is Boris Johnson arriving. After the cabinet meeting we heard

0:15:56 > 0:16:00this from Mrs May.

0:16:00 > 0:16:04Talks with the European Union have made a lot of progress. There is

0:16:04 > 0:16:07still a couple of issues we need to work on.

0:16:07 > 0:16:10Theresa May is expected to speak to talk to the DUP leader by phone

0:16:10 > 0:16:12later to try to break the deadlock.

0:16:12 > 0:16:21But the DUP has already restated its position.

0:16:21 > 0:16:27When we looked at the wording, and saw the import of all that, we knew

0:16:27 > 0:16:31we could not sign up to anything that was in that text that would

0:16:31 > 0:16:35allow a border to develop in the Irish Sea.

0:16:35 > 0:16:37Needless to say this all came up in parliament today.

0:16:37 > 0:16:40Here's the opposition.

0:16:40 > 0:16:47Mr Speaker, what an embarrassment. It is one thing to go to Brussels

0:16:47 > 0:16:52and fall out with those on the other side of the negotiating table, it is

0:16:52 > 0:16:56quite another to go to Brussels and fall out with those supposedly on

0:16:56 > 0:17:00your own side of the negotiating table.We recognise that as we exit

0:17:00 > 0:17:03we must respect the integrity of the EU single market and the customs

0:17:03 > 0:17:07union but we are equally clear we must respect the integrity of the

0:17:07 > 0:17:08United Kingdom.

0:17:08 > 0:17:11And there was criticism from the Prime Minister's party too -

0:17:11 > 0:17:16who said she should say this to the EU.

0:17:16 > 0:17:21You need to change this process, and to back off. Otherwise we get on

0:17:21 > 0:17:22with other arrangements.

0:17:22 > 0:17:25That was in Westminster.

0:17:25 > 0:17:27In Dublin, the Irish Prime Minister had to

0:17:27 > 0:17:29face his own parliament.

0:17:29 > 0:17:31Remember he thought there was a done deal -

0:17:31 > 0:17:34only to find out Theresa May hadn't cleared it with the DUP.

0:17:34 > 0:17:44Here he is earlier.

0:17:45 > 0:17:50We cannot move on to phase two until we have the assurances that we need,

0:17:50 > 0:17:55that there will be no hard border. And indeed the assurances we have

0:17:55 > 0:17:59been promised for 18 months now, and even longer. As things stand, the

0:17:59 > 0:18:03ball is very much in London. The ball is in London's court.

0:18:03 > 0:18:05Finally we shift to Brussels.

0:18:05 > 0:18:10That perhaps given what the EU is saying I shouldn't have bothered.

0:18:10 > 0:18:15"The show is now in London" it says.

0:18:15 > 0:18:18True - the show may be there, but the Eu's in Brussels

0:18:18 > 0:18:19and its clock is ticking.

0:18:19 > 0:18:22The short term deadline is to get to this point where sufficient

0:18:22 > 0:18:24progress has been made - and trade talks can start -

0:18:24 > 0:18:30both sides hope that will be by an EU summit later this month.

0:18:39 > 0:18:43Eleanor Garnier is watching all this in Westminster. I can't help but

0:18:43 > 0:18:46look all this and scratch my head and think, shouldn't you play this

0:18:46 > 0:18:50with the DUP before you went to Brussels?That's one question

0:18:50 > 0:18:53everyone in Westminster has been asking. How did Theresa May get

0:18:53 > 0:18:56herself into a position where she was in Brussels having not been

0:18:56 > 0:19:02completely 100% sure that the DUP were onside. To update you on what

0:19:02 > 0:19:06was meant to be happening today, we understood there was going to be a

0:19:06 > 0:19:10call, a phone call between Theresa May and the leader of the DUP,

0:19:10 > 0:19:14Arlene Foster, in the last few minutes it has become apparent that

0:19:14 > 0:19:18that call is not going to be happening tonight, it seems there

0:19:18 > 0:19:23has been little progress today, despite the DUP's negotiating team

0:19:23 > 0:19:26and the Conservatives chief whips and government negotiating side,

0:19:26 > 0:19:32when it comes to the DUP, plus some others, they met for several hours

0:19:32 > 0:19:37this afternoon. Yet not enough progress was made. A DUP insider

0:19:37 > 0:19:42saying tonight this is not just changing a few words here and there,

0:19:42 > 0:19:46they say there needs to be a lot of change when it comes to the deal

0:19:46 > 0:19:51right now. After these last few days of this week, Theresa May is under

0:19:51 > 0:19:54increasing pressure and as you point out, this week was meant to be about

0:19:54 > 0:19:59getting that signal that the UK and the EU might be able to move from

0:19:59 > 0:20:04phase one of the talks, about the divorce side of things, to phase

0:20:04 > 0:20:08two, which is all about the future relationship, trade relationship we

0:20:08 > 0:20:13might have with the EU. Certainly Theresa May is under pressure and

0:20:13 > 0:20:18this is not the week she wanted to have started with.Thank you. We

0:20:18 > 0:20:21will leave it there. If you want more background on the Brexit talks,

0:20:21 > 0:20:24head online to our website.

0:20:24 > 0:20:27Let's look at the fallout from the killing of Yemen's former

0:20:27 > 0:20:29president Ali Abdullah Saleh.

0:20:29 > 0:20:31He died in a roadside ambush by Houthi rebels just

0:20:31 > 0:20:35outside the capital Sanaa.

0:20:35 > 0:20:38He had been allied to the Houthi rebels but he recently shifted sides

0:20:38 > 0:20:43and started cooperating with the Saudi-led coalition.

0:20:43 > 0:20:46And the Houthis took exception.

0:20:46 > 0:20:55Well, this is the latest development in a long and complex conflict.

0:20:55 > 0:20:57Before we talk to BBC Arabic,

0:20:57 > 0:21:07this short report from the BBC's Mai Noman explains how we got here.

0:21:10 > 0:21:15For many year many, this was the only president they knew. Until the

0:21:15 > 0:21:20first event, remember the Arab Spring? You many came out on the

0:21:20 > 0:21:24street as well.

0:21:25 > 0:21:32Meant to be a transitional period, but that did not go so well. Saleh

0:21:32 > 0:21:35was accused of meddling. Then

0:21:39 > 0:21:43armed rebels took control of large areas of the country. You should

0:21:43 > 0:21:48also know that Saleh and the Houthi had previously fought each other on

0:21:48 > 0:21:52and off the years. After being ousted and replaced by his deputy,

0:21:52 > 0:21:58Saleh formed an alliance with the Houthi. That did not go down well

0:21:58 > 0:22:05with Saudi Arabia, which accused a man of supporting the Houthi. Then

0:22:05 > 0:22:11Saudi Arabia led a coalition targeting the Houthi rebels. That

0:22:11 > 0:22:17was the start of nearly three years of full-blown war. It has left

0:22:17 > 0:22:20thousands dead and brought the country to the brink of famine. Our

0:22:20 > 0:22:27fourth turn of events happens days before Saleh died. He shifted sides

0:22:27 > 0:22:34yet again. He said he was willing to start a new page with Saudi Arabia,

0:22:34 > 0:22:40and fought off against the Houthis. In the final turn of events, Saleh

0:22:40 > 0:22:42was killed by his former allies.

0:22:42 > 0:22:43Ali Abdullah Saleh's son has reportedly vowed

0:22:43 > 0:22:51to avenge his father's death.

0:22:51 > 0:22:54That makes a complicated military situation even more complex.

0:22:54 > 0:22:59Rasha Qandeel from BBC Arabic.

0:22:59 > 0:23:02From the initial reactions it's like an ultimate victory to the Houthi,

0:23:02 > 0:23:08they think they will be the sole power on the ground. Actually the

0:23:08 > 0:23:10disappearance of Ali Abdullah Saleh would make the shift in power go a

0:23:10 > 0:23:19bit more risky. He still has followers, and there are more

0:23:19 > 0:23:23leaders to his party, the General people's congress, outside Yemen

0:23:23 > 0:23:28than there are inside. Especially after the invitation of his son

0:23:28 > 0:23:33today to move towards the capital and defeat the Houthis, so things

0:23:33 > 0:23:38can change dramatically after his disappearance.My guess is reaction

0:23:38 > 0:23:42to these events in Yemen very much depends on which part of Yemen you

0:23:42 > 0:23:45focus on?That's absolutely correct. In the north there is a sense of

0:23:45 > 0:23:52shock. So many people still like to Saleh despite everything that

0:23:52 > 0:23:56happened after the Arab Spring. In the south, totally different, levels

0:23:56 > 0:24:03of people celebrating. He was the responsible party for the decision

0:24:03 > 0:24:09to bomb the South in 1994 to reunify the country and overcome the

0:24:09 > 0:24:14Communist part of Yemen. They did not really stand by him and they

0:24:14 > 0:24:19were happy for Emirates and their men playing behind the scenes to

0:24:19 > 0:24:22take over the power politically.

0:24:22 > 0:24:24Absolutely extraordinary scenes in Ukraine earlier.

0:24:24 > 0:24:25Let me show you this video.

0:24:25 > 0:24:27It features the former president of Georgia Mikheil Saakashvili -

0:24:27 > 0:24:29who has a complex relationship with Ukraine.

0:24:29 > 0:24:32Earlier the authorities tried to detain him

0:24:32 > 0:24:34at his flat in Kiev - Mr Saakashvili then

0:24:34 > 0:24:39got onto the roof - and called his supporters.

0:24:39 > 0:24:43But he was captured.

0:24:43 > 0:24:45And pushed into a vehicle.

0:24:45 > 0:24:50By which time a big crowd of his supporters had gathered.

0:24:50 > 0:24:54And Jonah Fisher was watching.

0:24:57 > 0:25:03We believe he is inside that blew a vehicle that, he was arrested by the

0:25:03 > 0:25:07authorities this morning, his supporters have turned out to make

0:25:07 > 0:25:11sure he does not go anywhere. We have seen clashes for the last

0:25:11 > 0:25:16couple of hours, Hebert gas has been used by the security forces, and we

0:25:16 > 0:25:23have a stand-off, the supporters don't want to be taken... More

0:25:23 > 0:25:29pepper gas. People have been trying to reach his vehicle, the one trying

0:25:29 > 0:25:34to take him away. To try to release him, effectively.

0:25:46 > 0:25:49Incredibly, he has been broken out of his vehicle.

0:25:55 > 0:25:59A short addition of Outside Source today, because next is coverage of

0:25:59 > 0:26:01the Turner prize, coming up shortly.
