welcome to Outside Source. President

Trump has been setting out his new

national security strategy. He has

been expanding on his policy of

America first, naming China and

Russia as competitors that want to

challenge America's influence.

We accept that vigorous military

economic political contest are now

playing out all around the world.

A major train crash on the US West

Coast. Several people have died and

dozens injured after the train to

railed onto a busy road below.

Even seen the pictures, it's pretty

worth it, at this point nobody in

the vehicles have been injured.

Cyril Ramaphosa is now the head of

the EOC, putting him on course for

presidency in South Africa. -- the

ANC.

Welcome. Donald Trump has delivered

his first national security

strategy. The document is an outline

of the white's main security

concerns. It took an America first

down. Mr Trump, a number of faces,

China and Russia featured. -- of the

White House's main security

concerns.

We accept that vigorous military and

political contest and role-playing

at around the world. We face rogue

regimes that threaten the US and our

allies. We face temperature

organisations, transnational

criminal networks and others that

spread violence and evil around the

globe. -- terrorist organisations.

We also face rival Paris, Russia and

China, that seek to...

Pakistan was said to be needed to be

stronger in the fight against

terrorism.

We have made clear to

Pakistan last week decided as I

partnership we must see decisive

action against terrorist groups

operating on their territory. We

make massive payments every year to

Pakistan.

They have to help.

Let's go to BBC correspondent that

has been watching this in

Washington. Overall, what can we

take away from this message?

It got

very much in his campaign promises

and emphasis, economic growth, for

the first time economic security

features strongly in the national

security strategy. He says that he

needs a strong economy in order to

project power and influence around

the world. Equally, Homeland

Security featured more strongly than

it usually does in this document. He

talked about border controls,

tougher immigration policies. All of

which were part of this campaign. He

used his America first campaign

platform to talk about the security

threats to the US. It was not

mystically focused on. It is not a

retreat from the US on the world

stage. -- a domestically focused. He

talked much about competition. More

talk about competition and

cooperation, which has been the

language in some of the previous

national security strategies. The US

is not retreating. It is the fact

that he said they will win. They

will be approaching their

relationships internationally in a

more muscular way.

We had a fair

amount about Russia and China. Some

of these words in great contrast to

the cordial exchange is a scene with

him until it was. -- exchanges we've

seen with him and their leaders.

He

didn't say that much about Russia

and China, who forgives them as

rival Paris that sort -- he refers

to them as rival powers that seek to

challenge America. He talks about

China's global economic ambitions in

the document, some of its practices

which it says are under wrong and

that these will be confronted, or

that the aim is for the penetration

to confront them. Which is a told

that is more confrontational than

that which he has had with President

Xi since he became president. -- the

aim is for the White House to

confront them. The document talks

about its practices that it is

trying to undermine governments in

Europe, that and style drawing

domestic political situations. The

document does not talk about the

tampering with elections here. That

is a point where it didn't quite go

and Mr Trump, in his comments,

didn't go that. He said that

President Putin and he had had a

nice tag last week about

intelligence sharing. -- a nice chat

last week. You also have President

Trump, never fully accepting that

the Russians have interfered in the

election and wanting a good

relationship with President Putin.

In the back with that strategy later

in the programme. He started his

speech mentioning the train crash

that has happened in the US state of

Washington. It involved and Amtrak

train on its inaugural run to

Portland. The givers on a bridge

over the highway i-5 at the height

of Usher. Some disturbing images of

how dramatic that Rushworth. Several

characters have gone to the road

below. The train's locomotive is

completely upright on the road and

there are other characters which

have completely overturned. It

smashed into several vehicles,

including a lorry. Mangled wreckage,

officials say there are multiple

fatalities and 77 people taken to

hospital. He we have somebody from

the sheriff department.

7:40am the

train derailed, multiple agencies

responding. When we got to the scene

it was obvious that the worst

fidelity is -- that there were some

fatalities. Some people had got off

the train. Multiple cars and trucks

were struck the train cars that had

gone off the track. The people

vehicles, even though when you see

the pictures are terrific, at this

point nobody in any vehicle is

fatal. The vehicles are on the

train. As far as the numbers, they

are working on that. The

fraternities are on the train.

Here

is President Trump on the crash.

If

we begin by expressing heartfelt

prayers to the victims of the train

development in Washington state. We

are monitoring the situation

closely. It is all the more reason

why we must start immediately fix

the infrastructure of the US.

We

have a correspondent in Los Angeles.

What is the latest that we know

about the casualties figures?

The

authorities are not releasing

precise figures. We know that in

number of people have been injured

and that there had been fatalities.

Some report earlier suggested that

six people had lost their lives. In

fact, the authorities, for the time

being, are not confirming figures.

One reason might be that the focus

is still very much on the scene and

those characters that we have seen

all over the place. But five of

those carriages are so precarious

they are having to be shored up of

the board. They are going just over

the overpass. It has been very

difficult to gain access to get

inside. This leaves open the

possibility of people still being

inside, injured or perhaps people

that have lost their lives. It is a

difficult situation, difficulty for

the authorities to record. As the

investigation just gets underway. --

to work on as the investigation gets

underway.

This was the inaugural

trip on a new section of track.

That's right. Bradley. Starting

today. Supposedly faster than

previous Brits. -- brand-new and

starting today. There have been

tested and trial runs to check that

everything was OK recently. There

was criticism and concern that

perhaps speed might be a issue. The

necessarily speed in exactly the

circumstances. The concerns were

more" of rail crossings in the area.

-- were more about real rail

crossings. Speech will be something

that will be looked at, the

possibility of human error. -- speed

will be something. It has been

confirmed by the transport

department that there is a system of

sensors that is enforced in this

area and many others. On the track

that fully information to sensors on

the train, that can potentially slow

a train down if perhaps it's

approaching a curve in the track at

too high a speech or if there is a

potential of the collision between

two trains. This section of track is

equipped with the censors but we are

told they were not switched on at

the time. -- with the sensors. They

were scheduled to be switched on

mixture.

South Africa's willing National

Congress has selected Cyril

Ramaphosa as its new leader, making

him the front runner to succeed

Jacob Zuma. He is a hugely wealthy

businessmen and four million --

former union leader. There was a

close of one race with his nearest

rival.

Conrad is received... 2261 voters

Conrad Cyril Ramaphosa received 2440

votes.

CHEERING

We declare... Conrad Cyril Ramaphosa

as the new president of the African

National Congress.

Let's look at why this is subject

significant election.

Africa's

leader Jacob Zuma stand down and,

after elections are not 2019 --

elections in 2910 he will step down

as president. Cyril Ramaphosa is the

favourite to succeed him. This was

the first time that people of every

race were allowed lot of odd, but

the country is still at a

crossroads. Jacob Zuma's presidency

has been mired in allegations of

corruption and there is a suggestion

that the South African people might

turn its back on the ANC.

I'm

smiling because equity announcement

that you made. The noise in that

room, the cheering and dancing and

singing went on for a good ten or 15

minutes. There was a very touching

moment afterwards when Zuma came up

on stage and Hope with you, she was

congratulating the top six leaders

of the ANC. It has been a very long

wait and as you mentioned this is a

race that has poured the ANC upright

and they will want to unite now.

Cyril Ramaphosa has a lot of healing

to do in his party.

How difficult

will the task be? So much of this

campaign was anti-corruption. There

are so many Zuma loyalists that

didn't fold them. -- that didn't

fold back for him.

If you look at

the make-up of the top six, three

people that were potentially end

Zuma's camp. Three people, including

Cyril Ramaphosa himself, supporting

him. Some people say this will make

it hard for him to do the work he

was to do. I do people say that this

is a real unity ticket and it will

make it easier. -- either people

say. The real work that the PNC has

to do is convincing ordinary South

Africans that they still have their

interests at heart. -- that the

Zumaanc have to do.

Stay with us,

still to come...

The UN raises the possibility that

the leaders of Myanmar could be

charged with war crimes over the

sheep and of -- over the treatment

of Muslims.

The Speaker of the House of Commons

have described threats against MPs

because of their political views as

a kind of fascism. He was speaking

following criticism of some

politicians by newspapers and

individuals on social media after

last week's Brexit vote, which the

Government lost. The May agreed

that...

Threats and intimidation have no

place in our politics. The truth of

it is... And Andy truth of that is,

Mr Speaker, its division and

infighting in her own Cabinet and

their reliance on the DUP that makes

them week.

There can never be a place for these

threats of violence and intimidation

against some members that we have

seen in recent days. Politics must

be better than that.

Our top story.

In a speech setting out his national

security policy, President Trump

says that the US faces a new era of

competition with China and Russia

seeking to challenge its influence.

The Indian Prime Minister's party

has held onto power in an election

in two states, including a closely

fought race in his home state, by

every just margin. The poll is seen

as an important test of the

popularity of the Prime Minister. We

will have more in a few minutes

time. Protests in Honduras after the

winner of the President election has

been announced. There have been

accusations of vote rigging. He has

given proof of fraud, he says.

One of the most popular stories

today. These pictures from Japan.

The newest panda cup. Six months old

and weighing roughly 12 kilos. A big

moment for these. It's been almost

three decades since a cub has

survived this long.

A billionaire has won Chile's

presidential election run-off,

taking with a 50% of the votes. It's

a shift to the right for the South

American country, joining it'll

-- -- joining it better. Let's just

show you the scenes in the capital

of Chile when the election result

result was was announced. This is

his second term as president,

previously serving as president from

20 train- 14. This is what the man

of the moment had to say. --

2010-14.

TRANSLATION:

In the selection, the

candidates were not the most

important thing. The most important

thing we do, your family, our

country, the future of Chile. Today

the voice of the candidates stopped

and the voice of the people we heard

loud and clear. We accept this

victory, which is without a doubt a

great victory, with humility and

great hope. Humility is all was a

good companion in life, especially

as president of the Republic. Also

with hope, like faith, which

started.

Whether it's a winner,

there must be a loser. US the

other...

And we need to respect this

signal and we need to learn from

this. For this reason, honest

painful day, my family and I are

committed to working for the Chile

we believe in. Go over to Santiago.

This was Sebastian Pinera's second

time as president. What can we

expect?

We can expect a very... A

presidency that is focused on the

economic front. Somebody that, in

his background, he used to be very

successful, he was a businessman, he

has promised higher growth, more

jobs, better situation for the

middle class. This is something that

many people don't like. They think

it's a project that is taken by

corporate interests. The majority of

the people that voters think that

the economy has to be a priority.

They think that quote needs to be

higher.

-- cease to be higher.

There

was a low photo product. Has this

affected the result question -- vote

turn up?

We... Happened in terms of

Turner. 49%. It was higher than the

past presidential elections. This

doesn't show wide Sebastian Pinera

one. It was a massive win, and

predictable, nobody knew it would be

as huge as it was. Right now,

analysts say they do not know what

has happened and need more time to

understand why the people of Chile

voted in such a massive way.

What

can we expect in the short run with

this move to the political right in

Chile?

Presidents in this country,

even though there can be left to

right, they tend to be said. This is

a democratic country with a very

institutional tradition of state. --

they tend to be centre. People don't

have radical policies. We will not

be somebody that will change Chile

for good. Then it will be a

transition Government. Thank you

very much. -- many people are saying

that it will be a transition

Government.

Let's get more on President Trump is

that you national security strategy.

He has labelled Russia and China key

threat to US dominance. He has been

unhappy about the large trade

deficit with China and has launched

a probe into alleged threats of

intellectual property. -- thefts of

intellectual property. I'll be seen

Donald Trump ratcheting up the

pressure on China?

Absolutely. He is

picky is clear that they want to put

more pressure on China. -- he is

making it clear that they want. The

campaign slogan was America first

and we now see this being forwarded

again in the speech. Even the fact

that the economy and economic

reported and dominance as being a

national security issue, so we can

certainly see that the trouble

administration is pushing back.

Despite the fact that we saw a lull

in this kind of relationship, there

were some attempt at trying to work

together. -- that the Trump

Administration is pretty bad. We can

now see that this administration

once an is relationship with China

in this way.

How much of a departure

is this from previous

administration.

It is a mass the

Bama Administration that emphasised

working with economic partners and

cooperation. -- Obama

administration. The Bush

administration, they employed the

word strategic competitor when it

comes to China. It's seen as a sign

that the US is pushing back against

the economic aspirations of China.

Especially when it comes to economic

event and any incursions on the

south Trinity.

Thank you very much.

-- on the south China Sea.

Michael one is in the side of the

European Commission. -- Ikea is in

the sites. Here is the BBC's

reporter.

Ikea says that it has certain things

that are branded and copyrighted.

Its name and products. That is owned

by something called into Ikea. Based

in the Netherlands. While the rest

of the company, the stores have to

pay 3% of the revenue to this

company and the Netherlands for the

rights. These royalties are taxed

cheaply in the Netherlands. It has

to pay interest on a loan. It looks

at these two things. Was this really

a commercial loan? Is it fair to

trigger a 3% of the revenue and move

it to the Netherlands and pay less

tax? -- is it fair to take 3%.

Ikea says that it is committed to

paying taxes according to the laws

for ever it operates.

The CEO's secret is to try to make

people go into a new niche business.

Your business. Figure out how to get

into a business that they are used

to, not make people change what they

do.

The strategy in general was to get

mainstream film-makers to fill

movies in Imax and to get exhibition

trains are multi-walled build Imax

theatres. I will never forget

Stephen Spielberg, we asked him to

film a Imax early on, and he said

call him when we have 1000

film a Imax early on, and he said

call him when we have 1000 theatres

and we only had a couple of hundred.

It was a chicken and egg problem. We

figured out how to take regular

films, not leading the cameras, and

convert them to IMAX. We develop new

equipment to fit in in regular

theatres and create the Michael one

image. We went into their business

rather than asking them to go into

our business. -- and create the IMAX

image.

Let's go back

image.

Let's go back to the dual element in

the West Coast of the US. Very

serious indeed. 70 people in after

the train left the track and went on

to a major highway. Casualty figures

are not clear yet because some of

the carriages are in a precarious

position so it is difficult to

attend to those people. It is a

serious situation in the western

United States. Back in a few minutes

time with more.

It's not unusual this time of year

for the Philippines to see very

heavy rainfall. This is what we have

had in the last few days. Brought

about by tropical storm. This has

set slow-moving tropical system

during the course of the weekend.

It's no in the drug suspects of

China Sea. -- it is now in the south

Trinity. It is put rainfall, over a

meter of April. That and field

beans, double the December average

in just a few days. This struggle is

weakening, moving south-west, going

to give a glancing blow to serve in

Vietnam and bring some heavy rain.

Then all ice on this next system

that could bring every rain in

similar places. North America,

winter storm moving its way into the

Pacific Northwest. This is what we

could do over north California but

high pressure here. No rainfall

inside. Catastrophic wildfires

continuing, nearly 300,000 acres of

land by this particular fire, making

it the third biggest fire in

California state history. Different

story in the south of the US. A

plume of moist warm air of gulf of

Mexico. This will create some

intense thunderstorms. These storms

are capable of producing large hail,

flash flooding and potentially

isolated Tornadoes, unusual at this

time of year. Pressure of flooding

in the Mediterranean. This area of

low pressure is moving south into

North Africa, heavy rain on Tuesday.

Much colder conditions in its place.

Generally, cold across the north and

north-west of Europe. Big area of

high pressure building in. Another

hazard is coming into France,

Germany, the low countries, this is

dense and problematic for,

potentially causing trouble with

transport. It will cause it was back

on. Central, southern and eastern

Britain of we could see some dense

fog on Tuesday. It could cause

problems for some of the major

airports here. The roads will be

very hazardous during the morning.

Through the day, the fog will lift.

The two be some sunshine, winter

many black. Further north and west,

different story. Outbreaks of rain,

more cloud, temperatures ranging

from 10-13. Chile across the

south-east, with the fork is holding

on. -- where the fog is holding on.

Welcome to Outside Source. President

Trump has been setting out his new

national security strategy. He's

been expanding his policy of America

first, meaning China and Russia as

competitors who want to challenge

America's influence.

We accept that

biggest military economic and

political contests are now playing

out around the world.

A major rail

crash in the US West Coast, several

people are dead and dozens injured

after the train derailed off a

bridge onto a busy road below.

Even

when you see the pictures it is

pretty horrific, nobody in any of

the vehicles is fatal. The totality

as are all contained to the train.

Cyril Ramaphosa has chosen to read

about the Couples bling ANC putting

him on course to be the country's

next president. And new rules by

Twitter cracking down on hate speech

after accusations it has become a

breeding ground for extreme groups.

What does it mean for free-speech?

Welcome back. Let's return to Donald

Trump Puig national Security

strategy, one of the key points to

take away from his address wasn't

what he meant, it's what he didn't

say. He didn't mention climate

change. That is at odds with his

predecessor Barack Obama who

included it in his strategy for the

first time in 2015. Let's remained

you what he back then...

Joining me from our Cambridge studio

is Sir David King, the former chief

scientific adviser to the British

Government. Thank you for joining

us. What you make of what you heard?

There is very little surprising in

this. Once again, President Trump is

being self-contradictory. What he

did say was, under his energy

policy, in which he stressed coal,

oil, gas, renewables and nuclear

energy would all be having a role to

play into the future. Critically

important here is when he does

occasionally say climate change is a

problem, we don't ever hear what he

plans to do to manage this enormous

existential challenge to the whole

world.

When he calls the Paris

agreement bad for the US economy,

expensive and all the other

criticisms, how big a part of this

play in working against what was

agreed in Paris?

The first thing is,

even that speech really was

contradictory because the United

States president decided the

contribution from the United States

to the global effort. President

Trump himself could have changed

what President Obama had previously

put forward as the United States

nationally determined contribution.

In answer to your question, what is

critically important to understand

is that I don't think there is a

leader in the world who believes

that President Trump is being

coherent on this policy. So what

instead you are finding, around the

whole world the leadership is

saying, if the United States is

tracking away from dealing with

climate change, it only means that

the rest of us have to do much more.

I think the announcement he made

about Paris, it came while I was in

Singapore, and there the leadership

in Singapore, the vice president of

Indonesia, the all made very clear

statements that this was not the way

forward and it was just going to

solidify what their intentions were.

We've heard along the way in number

of states saying they are going to

do their own thing anyway,

California springs to mind. How does

that change the picture of what the

United States is doing?

You are

quite right. The 15 states who have

declared their position on climate

change, they are very clear they are

going to continue to act,

California's position has been

tightened up very significantly. So

have Colorado, even Texas is

boasting about the fact they are

producing more than half of their

electricity from wind power. You do

have not only states but also

private sector companies all

reasserting their commitment to

action on climate change.

Sir David

King, thank you for your time,

former chief scientific adviser to

the British Government joining us

from Cambridge. Twitter has brought

in new anti-abuse rules which it

says will reduce the amount of

abusive behaviour and hateful

conduct on the network. They started

shutting down accounts that violate

the rules today. Britain cup's first

was among them. -- Britain first.

Donald Trump retweeted its deputy

leader. The American Nazi party was

also taking down on twitter, as were

several other groups that twitter

says glorifies or condones violence.

If you are wondering what those

pages look like now, this is the

page of the leader of the British

first group. She also lost her

personal account, this is important

to permit the new policy doesn't

apply to military or Government

entities. Twitter would not say if

it regarded President Trump and his

tweets a Government entity. It is

not clear if his account even could

be deleted. For more on what these

rule changes might mean, let's stop

to our technology correspondent Rory

Kevin Jones. How clear ID criteria

here? I don't think they are clear.

What's happened over the last year,

twitter which used to make a virtue

of the fact it was the free-speech

platform and you could state

literally anything, it is past it

comes to terms with the reality.

There has been a lot of anger over

the kind of views being spread, the

hate being spread by twitter. It has

tightened up. It has brought in new

rules, it's not been very clear

exactly about why it has blocked any

accounts. But it is saying that

organisations which are basically

dedicated to hate speech groups will

come under the spotlight. The

blocking of the Britain the first

accounts in particular has meant

President Trump's notorious retweet

has disappeared. We are having a few

problems with your line, we are

going to persevere. The general

reaction to this, there will be some

who say this is censorship and

they're not going to like this.

There was a push back last year when

Twitter first started taking action

against some what were known as all

right activists. Twitter has held

firm. It has come under more

pressure lately. I suppose since the

events in Charlottesville and the

rise of the far right around the

world. It has come under pressure to

do more. It is put out this new

statement today. There will be a

warning sign. The are gradually

upping, they will be pushed back for

Conservatives... We are going to

leave it there, thank you very much.

Our technology correspondent

ironically both times we have tried

to Doctor him the line has not been

clear. We will give you more on that

on our website. There have been

protests in the Austrian capital

after the far right Freedom party

was sworn into the country's new

coalition Government. Several

thousand demonstrators gathered

outside the presidential palace with

its winning in it took place, it is

the only far right party to get into

power in the European Union. Austria

now it has Europe's youngest leader,

31-year-old of the conservative

People's party. He has brought in a

far right party to govern with him.

The Freedom party which was founded

by former Nazis in the 1950s has

been in Government before. Back in

2000 when it entered power, there

was an outcry, not just here in

Austria but throughout Europe. It is

all very different today. Several

thousand people marched through

today in protest at the far right in

Government. Some held up placards

saying maxes out. He has promised

his Government will be a pro-EU one.

Other European leaders have said

they are looking forward to

co-operating with Austria, but the

German leader said they would watch

to see how Austria's EU policies

developed. The Freedom party have

come away with a number of plum

positions, very key posts in this

Government. It has the interior

ministry, the Defence Ministry and

the Foreign Ministry. You can get

more stories on the BBC website,

full coverage on everything we are

covering an Outside Source,

including that unfolding situation

of the train derailment in

Washington state. First, the united

nations called the Rohingya victims

of textbook ethnic cleansing. They

could face charges of genocide.

650,000 Rohingya Muslims fled into

Bangladesh since a military

crackdown in August after attacks by

Rohingya militants. Human rights

watch says it has evidence that the

crackdown continued after the army

said the violence had ceased, take a

look at the satellite images, this

is between the 6th of November,

until the 2nd of December. The BBC

has spoke to victims who have

witnessed the violence. TRANSLATION:

Older women were stamped on and the

military grab them by the hair and

slaughtered them.

Because I saw

that, I am drawing this.

Does it

amount to charges of genocide? What

will that mean for military and

political leaders? Here is the UN's

human rights chief speaking

exclusively to the BBC.

What we said

is on the basis of what we can say

we feel that you cannot rule it out.

The question of intention of going

back to the genocide, it is very

hard to establish because the

threshold is high, that's why we

continue to say that the court has

to do this. But it wouldn't surprise

me in the future if the court were

to make such a finding on the basis

of what we've seen.

Because of the

systematic nature...

Because of the

organisation which has gone into

this. Given the scale of the

military operation, clearly these

would-be decisions taken at a high

enough level.

But high enough level

he is talking about there is me and

my's the fact leader Aung San Suu

Kyi and whether she entered

Government knew what was going on.

I

spoke to her on the phone and I

appealed to her to bring these

military operations to an end. To my

great regret, it didn't seem to

happen. You literally said to her,

there are appalling atrocities being

committed in your country, please do

something about it? And her response

was what? She said, this is awful,

we want to look at it. A couple of

days after that, we began to

question the methodology we had

chosen, they began to chose the

right question whether facts were

correct. This was her Government.

That was a policy you think was

sanctioned by her?

That's what I'm

supposing. This is what I assume.

This comes as Myanmar has been

authorised to proceed with the case

against two reporters who were

arrested last week. This is a

picture released by the Ministry of

information. They are accused of

violating the country's colonial

area official secrets act and have

been covering the crisis in Myanmar.

Here is the chief operating officer

of Reuters.

We know very little.

We've not been

of Reuters.

We know very little.

We've not been given any contact

operation. That is on BBC World News

this weekend. An official report

into the case of an Iranian refugee

who was murdered in Bristol has

concluded there was institutional

racism on the part of the

authorities who dealt with him. He

was killed by a neighbour in the

summer of 2013, his body was set

alight. Today's report by the safer

Bristol partnership found that the

police and Bristol City Council

repeatedly sided with those who had

abused him over a period of years.

While the report found evidence of

collective failure, it said

individuals were not intentionally

racist. John Kay reports. He came to

Britain for safety, but was brutally

beaten to death and his body set on

fire. This is the neighbour who

killed him, Lee jeans, serving life

for murder. But this was not the

first attack. Today's report says

time and time again at different

addresses over several years, the

victim alleged he had been abused

and attacked by a number of

different people. But this report

says he was treated as a nuisance by

the authorities in Bristol with

police and council staff often

siding with his alleged abusers

rather than helping him. Absolutely

shocking and disgusting. Now his

sisters have been told there was a

collective failure by Avon and

Somerset police and Bristol City

Council which amounted to

institutional racism. A phrase used

nearly 20 years ago in the Stephen

Lawrence enquiry.

These are not the

words we should hear in this day and

age. We don't want to see or hear

any more about this. We have dealt

with this so many times before, it

seemed that happening again is truly

shocking.

We are very angry as my

sister said and it is very shocking

and upsetting as a family.

Today's

report says no individual members of

staff here at Bristol City Council

or an even and Somerset police were

intentionally racist themselves, but

it says both organisations had an

ingrained view of the victim which

affected the way they treated him.

And he did not get the support of

the level of service that he should

have received. The report says as an

Iranian man, he was picked at a

disadvantage because the way the

authorities dealt with him was

discriminatory, that's why it

concludes there was institutional

racism.

It is a word that is really

used, it is a finding that is really

found, because one would hope that

institutional racism is not a common

problem but the family's concern is

that it is much more common than is

found.

Last year, two members of

police staff were jailed for

misconduct. The force apologised to

the family then. And along with the

City Council has now accepted

today's report in full.

They say

lessons have been learned. Bijan's

death will not be in vain, it will

be the basis of this authority and

many institutions around the city

having a look at what they do in the

way they do it.

Nearly five years

after he was killed here, Bijan's

family see his voice has now finally

been heard. John Kay, BBC News,

Bristol. Police in Lebanon have

arrested a taxi driver in connection

with the murder of a 30-year-old

British diplomat in Beirut. The body

of the victim who worked at the

British embassy was found by a

motorway at the began. She had been

strangled and sexually assaulted.

Our middle east correspondent

reports. She fell in love with

leather nun. She had only just moved

your full-time but she was deeply

committed to her work. Helping the

country cope with the influence of

refugees from Syria. There was a

final night out before she returned

home for Christmas, a leading do it

at this by here. At around midnight,

she called a taxi, and Labour, to

take her home. She was never seen

alive. She was driven out of Beirut,

her body was found by a highway the

next day. She had been strangled and

sexually assaulted. Is 35 good old

Lebanese man is in custody. The

suspect is believed to be an Uber

driver. Here in Beirut, Uber's

leasing is a safe way of getting

about, particularly by women on

their own. The company responded by

saying it was horrified by this

senseless act of violence and it is

fully cooperating with the police

investigation. Lebanon's directive

lies in its past. In these... This

is not the first attack of its kind,

but they are here.

We all drink in this area,

we go out on Friday

and Saturday nights in this

very neighbourhood,

which is usually very, very safe.

So I think we're all just deeply

saddened that one of our friends

left by herself

and just didn't come back.

At the British Embassy,

staff are heartbroken.

The ambassador took to social media

and said, "The whole embassy

is deeply shocked,

it was a tragic loss."

Embassy staff are now providing

consular assistance

to the family of one of their own.

Becky Dykes hadn't been in Lebanon

long,

but she'd already

made a big difference.

Her friends say that's how

they want to remember her -

as someone who cared, a bright star

just beginning her career,

and a woman who'd already

helped improve the lives

of the most vulnerable

here in Lebanon.

Quentin Sommerville,

BBC News, Beirut.

The poll is seen as an important

test on the popularity of the leader

in his home state.

Life goes on as usual behind me.

Results to the election have been

declared. It is not the kind of win

the Prime Minister and his party had

aimed for. In the run-up to the

election, winning 150 of the 180

seats in the state, but they are

very short of that. That is despite

the fact the Prime Minister himself

had done more than 2000 valleys in

the state. The Congress party have

been able to increase their tally

significantly. It is important to

remember they have not been in power

in the state for 45 years, they have

been losing election after election

ever since the Prime Minister came

to power in the centre. The error of

the Gandhi family has just taken

over as president of the party and

this will look like a shot on his

arm. Many were saying the verdict of

this election will be almost like a

verdict of the Prime Minister's

policies. There is a lot they will

have to think about as they work

towards the 2019 general elections

and the Congress will have two

strategise as to how they can build.

Opposition MPs in Uganda have tried

to disrupt a crucial debate on

removing age limits for the

presidency. The debate got underway

but not before six opposition MPs

were suspended from the House. The

opposition's goal is to delay

proceedings. With fewer numbers in

the house is one way of defeating

this legislation. Changing the

constitution allows the president to

extend his three decade stay in

power. Opposition MPs walked out

after six other colleagues were

suspended.

This group that has much

doubt has the voice of Ugandans, the

voice that is saying please respect

the constitution of the public of

Uganda, respect the views of

Ugandans, stop being selfish, stop

this one-man rule.

But the

President's supporters say his

opponents are wasting their time.

And if they want him out, they

should do so at the ballot.

Why are

they targeting him? If you say he is

too old to run,...

Security has been

stepped up here in Parliament and

other parts of the city to make sure

there is no violence during this

heated debate. The ruling party

wants its legislation passed before

Christmas but the opposition will do

everything it can to stop that from

happening. We're going to end the

programme by going back to one of

the stories we brought you earlier,

the terrible derailment of an Amtrak

train in Washington state in the

west coast of the United States.

Officials are at the scene, we are

hearing that 77 people have been

taken to hospital. These are the

carriages that have come off the

rails completely on a bridge

crossing a main motorway, the I-5

highway below. It seems all the

carriages from the train have come

off the rails and some have ended up

on the road. The problem with the

number of casualties being confirmed

is that so many people are in

carriages that are so precariously

positioned it is very difficult for

rescuers and first ages to get to

them. We haven't had at this stage

even a confirmed number of

casualties, but there are reports

that fatalities, multiple

fatalities, and many injured, a

terrible scene there to end on.

Thanks for watching Outside Source.
