0:00:10 > 0:00:12Hello, I'm Ros Atkins, this is Outside Source,
0:00:12 > 0:00:16and these are the main stories here in the BBC Newsroom.
0:00:16 > 0:00:18Today's regional election is going to the wire -
0:00:18 > 0:00:26as pro-and anti independence parties vie for power.
0:00:26 > 0:00:29It looked like the parties in favour of leaving Spain are in the
0:00:29 > 0:00:37ascendancy but we will be live in Barcelona shortly.
0:00:37 > 0:00:39At the the UN General Assembly, more than 120 countries defy
0:00:39 > 0:00:41US warnings and reject President Trump's decision
0:00:41 > 0:00:42to recognise Jerusalem as Israel's capital.
0:00:42 > 0:00:44And the exchanges have been sharp.
0:00:44 > 0:00:45We will not be intimidated.
0:00:45 > 0:00:55You can be strong but that does not make you right.
0:00:55 > 0:00:58The US will remember this day in which it was singled out
0:00:58 > 0:01:01for attack in the General Assembly for the act of exercising its right
0:01:01 > 0:01:04as a sovereign nation.
0:01:04 > 0:01:13Police say there is no evidence suggest there was a terror link
0:01:13 > 0:01:20between a man who drove a car into a crowd. The police say it was
0:01:20 > 0:01:29deliberate.
0:01:29 > 0:01:35We would not cover every regional election in Catalonia as we are
0:01:35 > 0:01:40doing today, but this is of the utmost significance, not just a
0:01:40 > 0:01:46Catalonia, but to Spain and to Europe as a whole. There was an
0:01:46 > 0:01:54independence referendum at the end of September, which the Spanish
0:01:54 > 0:02:03government said was illegal. The Catalonian government said it showed
0:02:03 > 0:02:07that the majority of people in Catalonia wanted to leave Spain.
0:02:07 > 0:02:16They are now having legal local elections. You are with people who
0:02:16 > 0:02:22would like to stay in Spain?This is the view of the unity camp, the
0:02:22 > 0:02:30citizens party, and the polls at the moment... We have had a record
0:02:30 > 0:02:36turnout, 86%, 5.3 million eligible voters, 4.5 million people have
0:02:36 > 0:02:40voted and they are 60% through the official count and it is a three
0:02:40 > 0:02:46horse race between this party behind me. You might have seen this
0:02:46 > 0:02:54inspiration before, think of Emmanuel Macron. Citizens party and
0:02:54 > 0:02:59their leader, you would be the youngest president at the age of 36,
0:02:59 > 0:03:04she has said she was inspired by Emmanuel Macron -- she would. On the
0:03:04 > 0:03:15other side of that, the two parties who haven't got leaders, one who is
0:03:15 > 0:03:23in prison, and the former leader Carlos Pigem want>> STUDIO:
0:03:25 > 0:03:26Jose
0:03:29 > 0:03:36-- from the former leader who is in Axar in Belgium at the moment. It
0:03:36 > 0:03:40might be down to this party to play the cards first and see if it will
0:03:40 > 0:03:42get the coalition because that is what it will come down to
0:03:42 > 0:03:47ultimately.This is not what the Spanish Prime Minister would have
0:03:47 > 0:03:57wanted, the way the exit proles -- exit polls are suggesting.Yes, at
0:03:57 > 0:04:07the moment Rajoy's party I down seven seats. -- are down. You need
0:04:07 > 0:04:12to get 68 seats, not a single party is expected to do it, this is the
0:04:12 > 0:04:16interesting twist, after the twists and turns we have had since the
0:04:16 > 0:04:19referendum and the police violence and the legal declaration of
0:04:19 > 0:04:28independence, the self-imposed exile in Belgium and the people in prison,
0:04:28 > 0:04:36we could have one party with 68 seats, but potentially they might
0:04:36 > 0:04:49have the power to make a power share.Thanks for joining us. There
0:04:49 > 0:04:55we go. All the details coming in, plenty more background on that
0:04:55 > 0:05:01online if you want it. And now to a story of the utmost seriousness in
0:05:01 > 0:05:04the Philippines.
0:05:04 > 0:05:06A ferry carrying 251 people has capsized off the east
0:05:06 > 0:05:07coast of the Philippines.
0:05:07 > 0:05:09The boat was sailing to the island of Polillo.
0:05:09 > 0:05:17These are some pictures that have come into the newsroom.
0:05:17 > 0:05:19We know four people have died and at least
0:05:19 > 0:05:20seven others are missing.
0:05:20 > 0:05:23But as you can see here many others were rescued.
0:05:23 > 0:05:26Here's more from Howard Johnson in Manila.
0:05:26 > 0:05:30It is thought that this ferry capsized because it was hit by a
0:05:30 > 0:05:34large wave, whipped up by a tropical storm and a low-pressure weather
0:05:34 > 0:05:39system which is developed off the coast of the Philippines and is
0:05:39 > 0:05:44expected to make landfall tonight or tomorrow. That turbulent weather has
0:05:44 > 0:05:47hampered the rescue effort, the Coast Guard and the Army sent
0:05:47 > 0:05:51helicopters and boats to the scene of the accident but found it
0:05:51 > 0:05:56difficult when I got there. The Philippines has a bad track record
0:05:56 > 0:06:01of Maritime safety -- when they got there. There have been many Maritime
0:06:01 > 0:06:05accidents every year, and initially it was said the ferry was overloaded
0:06:05 > 0:06:09but according to the initial reports coming out, the ferry was carrying
0:06:09 > 0:06:22around 250 people and it has the capacity to carry 280.
0:06:22 > 0:06:25Now to a North Korean soldier who has defected to South Korea.
0:06:25 > 0:06:28He used the cover of heavy fog to make his escape -
0:06:28 > 0:06:31but when his absence was noticed, North Korean guards came searching -
0:06:31 > 0:06:32and South Korean soldiers fired warning shots.
0:06:32 > 0:06:35The soldier crossed here at the demilitarized zone.
0:06:35 > 0:06:41This is the fourth North Korean soldier to defect this year.
0:06:41 > 0:06:49You may remember this last month - when a soldier drove a jeep
0:06:49 > 0:06:52right up to the border - and ran across while his
0:06:52 > 0:06:55colleagues shot at him.
0:06:55 > 0:07:00He was hit by his colleagues but he made it across the dividing line. He
0:07:00 > 0:07:07is still recovering from his injuries in South Korea. Four
0:07:07 > 0:07:10defections this year.
0:07:10 > 0:07:11Only one soldier defected in 2016.
0:07:11 > 0:07:13Here's South Korea's response to the latest defection.
0:07:13 > 0:07:20TRANSLATION:A North Korean soldier defected to the South Korean outpost
0:07:20 > 0:07:23and the army has safely secured the deaf actor and the relevant
0:07:23 > 0:07:35authorities will investigate the reasons for the defection -- secured
0:07:35 > 0:07:41the defector forced please understand we can't elaborate on the
0:07:41 > 0:07:48details of the investigation.
0:07:48 > 0:07:56We have reports from all over the world, of course.
0:07:56 > 0:08:02And now to a story on the former Yugoslavia and these two men who
0:08:02 > 0:08:09were found guilty of war crimes. 100 61 people have been indicted in this
0:08:09 > 0:08:15tribunal, relating to various crimes to that war in the 1990s -- 161
0:08:15 > 0:08:24people. Mission accomplished will be the message inside the hall, the
0:08:24 > 0:08:29Yugoslav tribunal was set up at the whole of the Balkan conflict to hold
0:08:29 > 0:08:35those responsible for genocide, approximate the 8000 Muslim men and
0:08:35 > 0:08:40boys were slaughtered. The worst atrocity, the worst case of ethnic
0:08:40 > 0:08:45cleansing since the Nazis. There is no doubt be scared of the task has
0:08:45 > 0:08:51been fast and to some extent the body has surpassed expectations in
0:08:51 > 0:08:56bringing so many fugitives to justice including the former
0:08:56 > 0:09:01president most of age who died in detention before his verdict. The
0:09:01 > 0:09:04former political leader of the Bosnian Serbs bad Carole
0:09:09 > 0:09:15and the bolshie bullying general who despite his ill health remained
0:09:15 > 0:09:19combative in court, he was ejected from the court room before the final
0:09:19 > 0:09:24judgment. It is hoped these convictions will send a message to
0:09:24 > 0:09:31other rulers that will resonate, but no one is untouchable. But of course
0:09:31 > 0:09:36the body is not without its critics and it has been accused mostly by
0:09:36 > 0:09:44Serbs of delivering a selective justice and by many Bosnians are
0:09:44 > 0:09:47failing to meet the victim 's expectations. There was the Croatian
0:09:47 > 0:09:54general recently who drank poison in court, a public suicide that was
0:09:54 > 0:09:57broadcast live around the world on the court's cameras and threatened
0:09:57 > 0:10:05to overshadow the legacy of the tribunal, but their record shows the
0:10:05 > 0:10:12limits and potential for international justice. It has not
0:10:12 > 0:10:16made a reconciliation in the region, it has not brought reconciliation
0:10:16 > 0:10:22but it has provided a vital archive of evidence, not just for the
0:10:22 > 0:10:26history books, but for future generations, as well.
0:10:26 > 0:10:36Don't forget you can get much more detail on our top
0:10:37 > 0:10:44stories on our web site.
0:10:44 > 0:10:52And now to Venezuelan. Their farmers are struggling. Corn is a staple in
0:10:52 > 0:10:57Venezuelan but it has fallen by more than a half in the last occurred. --
0:10:57 > 0:11:03the last decade. It is easy to forget this country is in crisis,
0:11:03 > 0:11:09but even in nature politics looms large. Venezuelan's breadbasket is
0:11:09 > 0:11:16looking emptier than it was and farmers are worried. Ronald has
0:11:16 > 0:11:19worked these fields all his life and he says it has never been this
0:11:19 > 0:11:24tough. He did not get the government issued fertilising time so his corn
0:11:24 > 0:11:28crop struggled. Any corn he grows, the government makes in cell at
0:11:28 > 0:11:36subsidised prices. -- makes him so. TRANSLATION:We are doing this on
0:11:36 > 0:11:39our own and trying to do our best but the economic situation is tough
0:11:39 > 0:11:45and it is not easy to produce in the fields of Venezuelan, the last we
0:11:45 > 0:11:49had Micheline Yuri here was four years ago. -- the last time we had
0:11:49 > 0:11:54machinery.He had to stop building his house because he couldn't afford
0:11:54 > 0:11:57the cement and these residents are the only residents now although some
0:11:57 > 0:12:02of the herd was stolen, hungry Venezuelans in search of a meal. The
0:12:02 > 0:12:06problems are repeated across the industry, farmers are concerned they
0:12:06 > 0:12:08don't get their seeds in time to plant their crops and they are
0:12:08 > 0:12:11concerned about the quality of the imported fertilisers and pesticides,
0:12:11 > 0:12:19this farmer planted twice with pesticides, but it didn't work, it
0:12:19 > 0:12:25is complete you rotten. It is not just farmers who are struggling,
0:12:25 > 0:12:28across Venezuelan's agricultural heartland basics are becoming
0:12:28 > 0:12:35luxuries. With meat prices beyond the reach of many Venezuelans you
0:12:35 > 0:12:42would think farmers would have it easy. But the spiralling cost of
0:12:42 > 0:12:47vaccinations and machinery and supplies have hit this man. He has
0:12:47 > 0:12:50had to turn to crops to make money but that has also been a struggle,
0:12:50 > 0:12:56his corn crop was stolen by hungry villagers. Carter righteous and the
0:12:56 > 0:12:58socialist government has been at odds for many years but he says the
0:12:58 > 0:13:02solution is easy -- cattle farmers and the socialist government.
0:13:02 > 0:13:08TRANSLATION:All we want to do is produce, those of us in the cattle
0:13:08 > 0:13:12business need the state and vice versa, and the only way right now is
0:13:12 > 0:13:17to sit down and understand each other.These crops are reflection of
0:13:17 > 0:13:22the country's crisis, surviving but only just, and produces here are
0:13:22 > 0:13:26doing everything they can to make sure The Sun doesn't set on
0:13:26 > 0:13:29Venezuelan's cornfields.
0:13:34 > 0:13:42This is the last addition of Outside Source for the year. -- edition.
0:13:42 > 0:13:46The musical 'Hamilton' is opening in London -
0:13:46 > 0:13:48am sure you know all about this - it's been a huge
0:13:49 > 0:13:50success on Broadway.
0:13:50 > 0:13:52It tells the story of a poor immigrant from the Caribbean,
0:13:52 > 0:13:55who arrives in New York on the eve of the American Revolution.
0:13:55 > 0:13:57He goes on to become the country's first Treasury Secretary.
0:13:57 > 0:13:59Hamilton was created by Lin-Manuel Miranda -
0:13:59 > 0:14:02and he's been talking with the BBC's Arts Editor Will Gompertz.
0:14:02 > 0:14:06# Put a pencil to his temple, connected it to his brain...#
0:14:06 > 0:14:10Here is Hamilton's creator, Lin-Manuel Miranda,
0:14:10 > 0:14:14at the White House poetry slam in 2009, performing
0:14:14 > 0:14:16what would become the opening number of his musical
0:14:17 > 0:14:18about America's founding fathers.
0:14:18 > 0:14:22Six years later it opened in New York and became
0:14:22 > 0:14:23an instant classic.
0:14:23 > 0:14:24# What's your name, man?
0:14:24 > 0:14:29# Alexander Hamilton # His name is Alexander Hamilton
0:14:29 > 0:14:32And now it's in London, as is for a few days
0:14:32 > 0:14:35the man behind the show, who's been compared to...
0:14:35 > 0:14:38Well... Are you the 21st-century Shakespeare?
0:14:38 > 0:14:44Not even close!
0:14:44 > 0:14:46No, Shakespeare wrote a mind altering amount of dramas
0:14:46 > 0:14:50and comedies and sonnets, worked with other playwrights.
0:14:50 > 0:14:52I've written two musicals, so let's everybody chill out.
0:14:52 > 0:14:54# I'm past patiently waiting!
0:14:54 > 0:15:00# I'm passionately smashin' every expectation
0:15:00 > 0:15:03I recognised in the story of Hamilton the story of so many
0:15:03 > 0:15:06immigrants who are coming to the United States today.
0:15:06 > 0:15:16And so I used the music that I love to tell this story.
0:15:16 > 0:15:18A lot has been made of the multiracial cast.
0:15:18 > 0:15:21This is a story of America then told by America now.
0:15:21 > 0:15:24We're going to use every tool at our disposal to eliminate
0:15:24 > 0:15:26the distance between a modern audience and something that happened
0:15:26 > 0:15:28200 somewhat years ago.
0:15:28 > 0:15:31The casting is part of that, and casting it to look
0:15:31 > 0:15:39like the way our country looks eliminates distance.
0:15:39 > 0:15:44When George Washington is a young man of colour and he's
0:15:44 > 0:15:46running for his life, suddenly you're not filled
0:15:46 > 0:15:48with images of Washington standing like this, crossing the Delaware,
0:15:48 > 0:15:52he's not invincible any more.
0:15:52 > 0:15:54It's suddenly, these are real people.
0:15:54 > 0:15:57How nervous were you about bringing this show to the UK?
0:15:57 > 0:16:00I was not nervous at all.
0:16:00 > 0:16:03What I was very excited for was the reaction to King George
0:16:03 > 0:16:06III in the shadow of Buckingham Palace.
0:16:06 > 0:16:10I mean, we're really right up the street, so the only change
0:16:10 > 0:16:16we made in that direction is we have tarted up his outfit quite a bit.
0:16:16 > 0:16:21George III might have lost America, but he steals this show every night.
0:16:21 > 0:16:24Maybe the family in the big house he bought around the corner
0:16:24 > 0:16:26will make a Royal appointment to see it.
0:16:26 > 0:16:30Will Gompertz, BBC News.
0:16:30 > 0:16:35If you have a ticket, it looks like you are in for a treat. That ends
