Hello, I'm Ros Atkins -

Iran's supreme leader has called

protestors "enemies," and alleges

0:00:100:00:12

foreign interference.

-- After six days of

anti-government protests in Iran,

0:00:250:00:27

and the deaths of 22 people,

its supreme leader has spoken.

0:00:270:00:28

Hello, I'm Ros Atkins -

this is Outside Source.

0:00:290:00:31

Iran's supreme leader has called

protestors "enemies," and alleges

0:00:310:00:34

's

0:00:340:00:34

foreign interference.

0:00:340:00:35

Here's how the Trump

administration reacted.

0:00:350:00:36

The Iranian people are angry

at the rising tide of corruption in

0:00:360:00:39

their daily lives.

0:00:390:00:40

The people are tired

of paying the price for their

0:00:400:00:43

violent and corrupt rulers.

0:00:430:00:44

Looks like South Korea

and North Korea could talk

0:00:440:00:46

directly - next week.

0:00:460:00:47

And Kim Jong-un is using these two

North Korean skaters

0:00:470:00:49

and the Winter Olympics

as his reason why.

0:00:490:00:51

Logan Paul is one of

YouTube's biggest stars -

0:00:510:00:53

he's posted this video.

0:00:530:00:54

From the bottom of my

heart, I am sorry.

0:00:540:00:57

He's apologised to all of Japan

after publishing a video

0:00:570:00:59

in which he laughs about filming

a Japanese man who appears

0:00:590:01:02

to have taken his life.

0:01:020:01:12

welcome to the first edition of

Outside Source in 2018. Happy New

0:01:170:01:22

Year. The Middle Eastern editor

Jeremy Bowen has just arrived on

0:01:220:01:32

set, so you can contact us with any

questions for him.

0:01:320:01:36

After six days of anti-government

protests in Iran, and the deaths

0:01:360:01:39

of 22 people, its supreme

leader has spoken.

0:01:390:01:42

We have also heard from the US

ambassador to the UN.

0:01:420:01:53

Here are both of them.

0:01:530:01:57

TRANSLATION:

Following recent events

the enemies have united to create

0:01:570:02:01

problems for the Islamic Republic,

using all their weapons.

0:02:010:02:05

We all know that's

complete nonsense.

0:02:050:02:06

The demonstrations are

completely spontaneous.

0:02:060:02:07

They are virtually

in every city in Iran.

0:02:070:02:09

This is the precise picture

of a long and oppressed people

0:02:090:02:12

rising up against their dictators.

0:02:120:02:14

Nikki Haley also said Washington

wants an emergency meeting

0:02:140:02:19

of the UN Security Council.

0:02:190:02:21

These demonstrations started

on Thursday in Iran's second

0:02:210:02:23

largest city, Mashhad.

0:02:230:02:27

You can see it there in the

north-east.

0:02:270:02:32

But by Saturday, many more people

and places were involved,

0:02:320:02:36

including the capital, Tehran.

0:02:360:02:38

It's worth noting that

on Saturday there was also

0:02:380:02:42

another demonstration in Tehran -

but this one was sanctioned

0:02:420:02:45

by the authorities and

commemorated the defeat

0:02:450:02:47

of the 2009 protest movement.

0:02:470:02:53

But let's stay focused on the

anti-government protests, and the

0:02:530:02:56

most important question, why are

they happening now?

0:02:560:03:00

This is the view of one analyst.

0:03:000:03:05

If you go back to May of this year,

when Hassan Rouhani was re-elected

0:03:050:03:09

with a landslide 24 million voters

backing him, they voted for him

0:03:090:03:12

because he made a simple

but powerful promise.

0:03:120:03:13

He said, "When I'm re-elected

there will be more political

0:03:130:03:16

freedoms in this country."

0:03:160:03:17

He hasn't delivered on that, at all.

0:03:170:03:19

In fact, what he's done is turned

away from the reformist grass

0:03:190:03:21

movements and turned

to the hardliners.

0:03:210:03:26

Remember President Rouhani has also

repeatedly promised to fix the

0:03:260:03:30

Iranian economy, and there is

undoubtedly work to do.

0:03:300:03:33

The cost of living is going up,

unemployment is at 11%,

0:03:330:03:36

and double that among young people.

0:03:360:03:37

Bear that in mind, as we look

at this from Reuters.

0:03:370:03:41

27%, that statistic. This is a run's

Deputy interior minister.

0:03:410:03:55

BBC Monitoring watches

the world's media -

0:03:550:03:57

it's been studying footage

of the protests.

0:03:570:04:00

In a recent briefing, it notes,

"The diversity of slogans illustrate

0:04:000:04:03

the absence of a coherent message

or aim of the demonstrations,

0:04:030:04:05

which also completely lack leaders."

0:04:050:04:11

They tell us.

0:04:110:04:13

That may be, but the authorities

are taking them seriously.

0:04:130:04:15

There have been more than 450

arrests in Tehran province.

0:04:150:04:17

And messaging apps like Telegram

are being restricted.

0:04:170:04:20

Here's the tech commentator

Mahsa Alimardani on that decision.

0:04:200:04:30

This platform is for communicating

between family members, friends,

0:04:310:04:36

getting information from thy aspera

Persian media or from local media,

0:04:360:04:39

and just getting everyday updates

like traffic and whether it is very

0:04:390:04:45

centralised to this one platform, so

when the block occurred there has

0:04:450:04:48

been a rush to, you know, get on to

connect to this device that you

0:04:480:04:53

previously didn't have to.

0:04:530:04:56

If you want to read more

about the role social media

0:04:560:04:58

is playing in Iran right now,

there's a piece by Mahsa

0:04:580:05:01

on the Politico website now.

0:05:010:05:03

Next, to BBC Persian's Jiyar Gol.

0:05:030:05:07

For a sense of the government

response.

0:05:070:05:15

In sensitive areas they have placed

those security forces, but

0:05:150:05:17

despite all of this

we have received footage

0:05:170:05:19

that shows gatherings

of

0:05:190:05:20

people, but those apps where people

were communicating and sending

0:05:200:05:23

messages, and footage to us has been

limited and blocked.

0:05:230:05:27

What are you hearing from your

contacts about the motivation

0:05:270:05:29

of these demonstrators?

0:05:290:05:30

Is this about just improving

living standards, or is it

0:05:300:05:33

about something more fundamental?

0:05:330:05:34

I think it is about much more

than just the economy - yes,

0:05:340:05:37

it started with the

economic situation.

0:05:370:05:38

They were angry about employment,

inflation, and what's

0:05:380:05:40

going on in the country,

but as days passed some of those

0:05:400:05:47

protesters became political.

0:05:470:05:49

Some other groups, university

students, teachers, workers,

0:05:490:05:51

some activists, they joined them

and the slogans became more

0:05:510:05:56

political and people -

for example, one of the slogans was,

0:05:560:05:59

why is Iran spending billions

and billions of dollars

0:05:590:06:01

in countries like Lebanon,

like Yemen, like Syria,

0:06:010:06:05

yet their own people are,

many of them, living

0:06:050:06:07

in abject poverty?

0:06:070:06:09

Why is that money not

being invested in the country,

0:06:090:06:12

invested in creating jobs

for young people?

0:06:120:06:18

As you would expect Donald Trump has

been tweeting about what has been

0:06:180:06:22

happening in Iran, here he is saying

the people of Iran are finally

0:06:220:06:26

acting against the corrupt and

brutal Iranians regime. He goes say

0:06:260:06:33

these people have little food and no

human rights. "America Is watching."

0:06:330:06:39

There wasn't much chance of Iran

reacting well to that.

0:06:390:06:41

The reality is that the US has very

little leverage on Iran,

0:06:410:06:44

and President Trump has very little

credibility inside the country,

0:06:440:06:47

given the fact that he imposed

the travel ban very early

0:06:470:06:49

on in his administration,

that primarily targeted

0:06:490:06:51

the Iranian citizens,

who have never been involved in any

0:06:510:06:53

acts of terrorism in the US.

0:06:530:06:56

So I doubt that his words

would have that much traction

0:06:560:06:59

within the population,

but they will certainly be exploited

0:06:590:07:01

by the government to portray

the protesters as foreign lackeys.

0:07:010:07:11

Europe's approach appears to be

different to this than the USA. This

0:07:190:07:24

is from Patrick Wintour, and he also

says as well is this the French

0:07:240:07:33

Foreign Minister is supposed to be

going to Tehran on Friday but made

0:07:330:07:36

the load. I have news for you on

that, because this is writers

0:07:360:07:39

telling us that is exactly what will

happen. The French presidency has

0:07:390:07:44

confirmed that after call with

President Rouhani the Foreign

0:07:440:07:46

Minister will not be going there any

more. That is some of the

0:07:460:07:51

international reaction, and we have

to see all of this in the context of

0:07:510:07:55

a run's complex relationships in the

Middle East. This is Philippa

0:07:550:07:58

Thomas, explaining.

Iran is a predominantly Shia Muslim

0:07:580:08:04

state and its growing sphere of

influence across the Middle East has

0:08:040:08:07

ended many enemies. None greater

than Sunni Saudi Arabia. The two

0:08:070:08:13

Matt Cavanaugh diplomatic ties and

are suspicious of each other's

0:08:130:08:16

drawing power in the region. They

are facing off against each other in

0:08:160:08:20

a number of proxy conflicts. Iran

has close ties with Lebanon,

0:08:200:08:26

especially the political party

Hezbollah and its militia force.

0:08:260:08:29

Iran provides them with millions of

dollars in supplies and weaponry,

0:08:290:08:34

but in November the Saudi Arabian

crowned Prince backed efforts to

0:08:340:08:38

undermine Hezbollah in Beirut, and

boost the Lebanese Prime Minister.

0:08:380:08:42

Saudi Arabia and Iran face off in

another proxy war in the region in

0:08:420:08:49

Yemen. A Saudi led coalition is

fighting the Houthi rebels, but

0:08:490:08:56

Tehran Baxter Houthis, who were in a

form of alliance against the former

0:08:560:09:00

president against the Sunnis, and

when they switched sides and sought

0:09:000:09:07

peace, he was killed. Iran's hatred

of Israel is well-known, with no

0:09:070:09:13

diplomatic ties. Doesn't even

recognise the Jewish state, instead

0:09:130:09:19

calling it a Zionist regime. Not

surprisingly, the endorsed the

0:09:190:09:24

creation of a Palestinian state in

Iran and the finance various

0:09:240:09:28

Palestinian cause is, among them the

Islamic jihad and how mass -- Hamas

0:09:280:09:35

groups. We can talk to the Middle

East editor for the BBC, Jeremy

0:09:350:09:43

Bowen. Would you say these claims

are true?

The Americans are

0:09:430:09:47

encouraging them. Donald Trump is

tweeting that this is a wonderful

0:09:470:09:51

development, effectively, but, you

know, if they have evidence the CIA

0:09:510:09:54

is behind all of this, fine, let's

see it. There's a long history in a

0:09:540:10:01

run of foreign intervention,

governments being overdrawn, in the

0:10:010:10:04

50s and elected leader was

overthrown by the Americans, the CIA

0:10:040:10:07

and Britain's MI6 in the 50s, so

those comments for Iranians pressed

0:10:070:10:14

some important buttons but, Norma,

right now, to me it looks like a

0:10:140:10:19

pretty spontaneous, initially very

spontaneous anyway, outburst of

0:10:190:10:26

protest -- no, right now to me. Why

has it spread quickly? People are

0:10:260:10:31

discontented, and because as well I

think they are pretty sick of living

0:10:310:10:35

in an authoritarian society.

I guess

one of the pressures on President

0:10:350:10:39

Rouhani, he promised something

different when he won the most

0:10:390:10:41

recent election and he is struggling

to deliver that.

He promised he

0:10:410:10:46

would turn the economy round as well

and that has been hurt by years of

0:10:460:10:50

sanctions, and years of corruption,

mismanagement as well. He said he

0:10:500:10:54

would do something about all those

things and, yes, sanctions have gone

0:10:540:10:59

away partly, and we can speak a bit

more about that, but the internal

0:10:590:11:03

staff, the corruption,

mismanagement, inefficiencies, he

0:11:030:11:08

has not sorted that kind of thing

outcome and that is disappointing

0:11:080:11:11

quite a lot of people. And he has

been the butt of quite a few of the

0:11:110:11:18

slogans as well in these

demonstrations.

His book about the

0:11:180:11:23

sanctions and let's get into that.

There is a bit of a divide between

0:11:230:11:26

President Trump who loathes the deal

President Obama cut with the

0:11:260:11:30

Iranians, and those who love this

deal.

Yes, the future of Iran's

0:11:300:11:34

nuclear industry, if you like. Would

they be trying to create nuclear

0:11:340:11:39

weapons? The Americans and the

Israelis, the British as well, they

0:11:390:11:46

believe they were, and the question

now is what happens with that

0:11:460:11:50

particular deal. Later on this

month. There is a moment in fact

0:11:500:11:55

when President Trump has to sign

some very important documents which

0:11:550:11:59

will continue the suspension of some

of these sanctions, and if he does

0:11:590:12:02

not sign them, perhaps he will

decide that this is a time to put

0:12:020:12:06

more pressure on the regime in

Tehran and he might consider this

0:12:060:12:11

would be his opportunity as well of

finally doing down what for him is

0:12:110:12:16

this hated agreement with Iran about

its nuclear future. So later on this

0:12:160:12:20

month there could be a real flash

point and if these protests continue

0:12:200:12:25

I think they may well feed into

President Trump's decision-making.

0:12:250:12:29

You read there in 2009 when there

were much bigger protests. How do

0:12:290:12:34

you compare what you saw them with

what you are viewing from afar at

0:12:340:12:38

the moment? -- you were there into

this inane.

In 2009 there were a lot

0:12:380:12:43

of people really angry that an

election they believed had been

0:12:430:12:46

stolen from them -- when you were

there in 2009. These protests are

0:12:460:12:52

different. In 2009 there were

politicians in charge of those

0:12:520:12:56

protest essentially who since then

have been under various different

0:12:560:12:58

kinds of arrests. This time there

are no recognisable national leaders

0:12:580:13:03

who are part of it.

There was one very clear objective

0:13:030:13:09

of the protests, to do something

about the election, and it morphed a

0:13:090:13:12

bit into criticism of the regime.

Now there are loads of different

0:13:120:13:16

things, starting with the economy

and going into politics, loads of

0:13:160:13:19

things we have talked about. Now,

that could be seen as a weakness but

0:13:190:13:23

it could also be a strength, cause

it is harder for the resume to deal

0:13:230:13:27

with something which keeps popping

up all over the place. In Tehran,

0:13:270:13:32

you know, it came down by the end

when they were really cracking down

0:13:320:13:37

on them, to demonstrations in a few

different streets.

Jeremy, thank you

0:13:370:13:41

very much indeed. Jeremy Bowen, the

BBC's Middle East editor. If you

0:13:410:13:46

want regular updates from Jeremy,

you can follow him on Twitter. And I

0:13:460:13:50

can't believe Jeremy has not been

following this... The Israeli

0:13:500:13:56

legislator has passed new

legislation saying two thirds of the

0:13:560:14:07

parliament would have to support

giving any more territory to the

0:14:070:14:09

Palestinians.

0:14:090:14:15

The biggest rise in train fares in

the last five years commuters face

0:14:150:14:19

this morning as they returned to

work after the Christmas break.

0:14:190:14:27

The average ticket

price went up by 3.4%.

0:14:270:14:29

Labour has renewed its call for

the railway to be re-nationalised -

0:14:290:14:32

while the government and the rail

industry say the fares will help pay

0:14:320:14:35

for improvements to the network.

0:14:350:14:36

If we can continue to make savings

by bringing the railways back into

0:14:360:14:39

public ownership and stop wasting

money on franchising, on the

0:14:390:14:42

complexity of the arrangements

between all these different

0:14:420:14:45

companies, and we don't pay out

dividends to state owned companies

0:14:450:14:47

across the Channel, we can keep that

money in-house.

For every pound

0:14:470:15:00

passenger pays in fares, 97p goes

into running and improving the

0:15:000:15:05

railway, but also with more people

using the railway it means we have

0:15:050:15:08

more money to invest.

0:15:080:15:19

This is Outside Source live

from the BBC newsroom.

0:15:230:15:25

Our lead story is:

0:15:250:15:28

The supreme leader of Iran has

called protesters enemies and this

0:15:280:15:34

follows days of protest. Let's look

at the main stories from the BBC

0:15:340:15:37

World Service. The ambassador to the

UN says the USA will withhold

0:15:370:15:42

millions of dollars in aid to

Pakistan for failing to cooperate

0:15:420:15:44

with the fight against terror.

President Trump's tweets on the

0:15:440:15:49

subject have already angered

Pakistan. In Bangladesh, an arrest

0:15:490:15:56

warrant in connection with petrol

bomb attacks on a bus during a

0:15:560:16:00

protest in 2015 that killed eight

people. That is from BBC Bengali.

0:16:000:16:05

Lots of you have been reading this

on the BBC website, the weather

0:16:050:16:11

getting bitterly cold in the USA,

reaching as far as Florida with

0:16:110:16:15

warnings as far as Texas to the

Atlantic coast. The east of the USA

0:16:150:16:19

is also set for another freeze at

the end of the week.

0:16:190:16:31

This is Logan Paul, 22, and a

YouTube star, and he has issued an

0:16:340:16:36

apology after issuing a video that

show the suicide of a man in Japan.

0:16:360:16:42

The video had already been watched 6

million times and of course copies

0:16:420:16:48

are still circulating although it

has been taken down. This is his

0:16:480:16:52

apology.

It was obviously plan and

the reactions you saw were raw,

0:16:520:16:57

unfiltered. None of us knew how to

react or how to feel. I should never

0:16:570:17:03

have posted the video. I should have

put the cameras down. And stop

0:17:030:17:07

recording what we were going

through. There were a lot of things

0:17:070:17:11

I should have done differently, but

I didn't, and for that, from the

0:17:110:17:15

bottom of my heart, I'm sorry.

I

have been talking to the Tech

0:17:150:17:21

reporter at Buzzfeed, Katie, in New

York.

Yuji Peiser three strikes

0:17:210:17:33

policy, -- YouTube has a three

stroke policy. They took this down

0:17:330:17:37

after one strike, but I think it

raises questions. His fans are

0:17:370:17:40

typically young teenagers, tweens,

kids, and I think it has left a lot

0:17:400:17:47

of people wondering, what are these

young people seeing? What are they

0:17:470:17:53

doing, YouTube to shake this. He

makes a lot of money with YouTube

0:17:530:17:56

and they make a lot of money with

them -- to shape this. What policy

0:17:560:18:00

protocols are being put in place to

make sure completely tasteless video

0:18:000:18:04

like this is no longer posted?

I

guess the popularity of some of

0:18:040:18:10

these YouTubers is that they are

seen as not being monitored by

0:18:100:18:15

YouTube or indeed by anybody else?

I

think that is certainly true.

0:18:150:18:19

YouTube is not like a television

network. They don't own Logan Paul.

0:18:190:18:30

He is free to upload videos, as are

you or I, as much as he wants. He

0:18:300:18:36

shot videos for their premium

products but that was in 2016, and I

0:18:360:18:40

think it just leaves a lot of

questions of moderation, and what

0:18:400:18:44

are the rules, and, you know, how

did he not know in the first place

0:18:440:18:48

that posting a video like this would

be a terrible idea? Is there nobody

0:18:480:18:52

guiding or shaping the types of

content young people are seeing from

0:18:520:18:56

these incredibly popular creators.

I

was watching not just the video but

0:18:560:19:00

responses to it. I saw one already

has 20 million viewers and almost

0:19:000:19:07

200,000 comments responding to it. I

guess the whole story is

0:19:070:19:11

highlighting the reach that some of

these YouTube stars have?

Yes, and

0:19:110:19:15

there have been a lot of people who

have actually come out in support of

0:19:150:19:20

Logan Paul. Within the YouTube

community there is this sort of

0:19:200:19:23

defensiveness of people who think

YouTube is too restrictive and there

0:19:230:19:28

is this war between the creators and

YouTube. It is a very strange

0:19:280:19:32

confusing tension there.

Let's turn

to the Middle East, because as you

0:19:320:19:37

will know resolving the conflict

between the Israelis and the

0:19:370:19:45

Palestinians is incredibly difficult

and in the Israeli parliament may

0:19:450:19:49

have made it even more difficult.

This vote by Israeli MPs would

0:19:490:19:54

virtually make any peace deal with

the Palestinians that involves

0:19:540:19:57

ceding control of part of Jerusalem

much more difficult to get through

0:19:570:20:01

the Israeli parliament, because now

instead of taking 61 votes out of a

0:20:010:20:06

possible 120, it would take at two

thirds majority, that 80 votes, and

0:20:060:20:11

this really gets to an issue at the

heart of the Israel Palestinian

0:20:110:20:17

conflict, because the eastern part

of Jerusalem was captured by Israel

0:20:170:20:21

in the 1967 Middle East war and it

was later annexed in a move not

0:20:210:20:26

internationally recognised by

Israel. One Israeli minister who

0:20:260:20:31

pushed for this moving legislation

said it would ensure the city of

0:20:310:20:33

Jerusalem remained the Israeli

United capital and fortified Israel,

0:20:330:20:40

whereas the Palestinian President's

office said this, coupled with the

0:20:400:20:45

announcement last month that

President Trump recognise Jerusalem

0:20:450:20:50

as Israel's capital, amounted to a

declaration of war on the

0:20:500:20:53

Palestinian people.

Time for

business and we will do a health

0:20:530:20:56

check on Amazon. It says last year

it shipped over 5 billion items

0:20:560:21:01

worldwide just as part of its Prime

service, a subscription service. It

0:21:010:21:06

also last year expanded into

groceries and pharmaceuticals. Let's

0:21:060:21:10

talk to Samira Hussain, live with us

from New York. I don't know what to

0:21:100:21:15

compare that figure of 5 billion

with, Samira. Is that standard for

0:21:150:21:20

Amazon?

It is pretty significant,

especially when you consider the

0:21:200:21:24

fact that back in 2005 is when they

launched Amazon Prime, and if you

0:21:240:21:29

think back to that time, everybody

really panned the idea, saying

0:21:290:21:35

people would not want to pay that

money to be able to ship freely have

0:21:350:21:40

this kind of fast shipping, fast

forward to 2017 and 5 billion

0:21:400:21:47

packages have been sent. We also

don't really have numbers on how

0:21:470:21:51

many members are part of this prime

service, and Amazon does not really

0:21:510:21:55

reveal those figures. One journalist

did take and find that in one of its

0:21:550:22:02

filings, and it was later confirmed

by Amazon, that at one point they

0:22:020:22:06

had some 20 million subscribers to

the Amazon Prime service.

Now we're

0:22:060:22:11

pharmaceuticals, health care, other

things added. Do you think Amazon

0:22:110:22:15

will get so big the regulators will

be interested?

So far, not yet, but

0:22:150:22:20

it certainly has a lot of companies

really worried. They will be looking

0:22:200:22:23

at a lot of things when it comes to

Amazon 2018. There will be put their

0:22:230:22:29

new headquarters? There has been a

lot of speculation about that. And

0:22:290:22:32

just recently there was an article

written by a prominent analyst here

0:22:320:22:39

in the USA who suggested the

possible next acquisition for Amazon

0:22:390:22:43

could in fact be the store target.

That could be a target. See you

0:22:430:22:53

later in the week, Samira in New

York. Now, 2017 was the safest year

0:22:530:22:58

in the history of passenger

airlines, no fatal accident on

0:22:580:23:01

passenger jets, and he was one

analyst on why that was.

Aviation

0:23:010:23:07

with large passenger aircraft is

indeed incredibly safe. That is not

0:23:070:23:09

to say it is not without its risks.

There were a significant number of

0:23:090:23:15

nonfatal accidents including two jet

passenger aircraft, but this really

0:23:150:23:18

is a very safe form of transport,

and modern aircraft and engines are

0:23:180:23:23

incredibly robust and reliable

pieces of equipment. One of the

0:23:230:23:27

essentials of aviation safety as we

learn from our previous mistakes, we

0:23:270:23:30

put new technologies into aeroplanes

and example the crash in Canada of a

0:23:300:23:38

turboprop before Christmas, it

didn't catch fire. Aircraft are more

0:23:380:23:42

fire retardant, easier to evacuate

from, so even when you do have an

0:23:420:23:46

accident, the chances of it killing

everyone are less and less these

0:23:460:23:49

days.

Long may that safety record

continue. If you are watching

0:23:490:23:55

Outside Source towards the end of

2017 you will know that we were

0:23:550:23:57

speaking about bitcoin and off a

lot, crypto currency, and we were

0:23:570:24:06

reporting on it getting up to

$16,000 per coin, and it was going

0:24:060:24:10

up and down, and you will not be

able to trade it in the Egypt if you

0:24:100:24:15

are watching their because it has

been prohibited. BBC Arabic's

0:24:150:24:22

reporter has more from Cairo.

Bitcoin has been in the headlines

0:24:220:24:30

triggering debate almost all over

the world, and Egypt is no exception

0:24:300:24:33

to that. The digital currency has

now been deemed as prohibited in

0:24:330:24:39

Islamic shall you law, and according

to the edict, using Bitcoin made

0:24:390:24:49

risk even burning in some nations

and some cases. We have come here to

0:24:490:24:52

hear what people actually think.

TRANSLATION:

What you mean virtual

0:24:520:24:55

currency? I have to touch the

currency to use it.

I prefer our own

0:24:550:25:01

money, people know it and know how

to use it.

0:25:010:25:05

It's a new thing that I don't know

about but everyone uses. I might

0:25:050:25:08

think about it.

The currency is not very common to

0:25:080:25:14

use in Egypt. There is no official

estimate as to how many people

0:25:140:25:18

actually use Bitcoin here, but some

experts told us it is limited to

0:25:180:25:24

dozens of users, who became

interested after Bitcoin hit a peak

0:25:240:25:28

at some point last year of $17,000.

BBC Cairo. Thanks for that. If you

0:25:280:25:38

have a smartphone while you are

watching and want updates from here

0:25:380:25:41

and the BBC newsroom remember you

can download the BBC News that from

0:25:410:25:45

your app store, just search for BBC

news and you will find it very

0:25:450:25:49

easily. When we come back on Outside

Source, we will have a number of

0:25:490:25:52

stories for you, including Israel

making a push to send thousands of

0:25:520:25:59

Eritreans and Sudanese home. Good

evening. At home wet and windy

0:25:590:26:12

weather is

0:26:120:26:13

evening. At home wet and windy

weather is the primary concern right

0:26:130:26:14

now, but on the other side of the

Atlantic it is not wet and windy,

0:26:140:26:19

but cold weather that causes issues.

The cold has been very long-lasting

0:26:190:26:23

across North America.

Another cold night in store tonight.

0:26:230:26:29

These are the lows we are expecting.

Dallas, Texas, down 2-5, and

0:26:290:26:37

Minneapolis, -17, so after that

exceptionally cold start,

0:26:370:26:39

temperatures will struggle to

recover -- down to -5 in Dallas,

0:26:390:26:46

Texas. New York City during the

middle of the afternoon, no better

0:26:460:26:52

than -2. 5 degrees in Dallas is a

slight improvement on the last day

0:26:520:26:55

or so, and later in the week we are

watching an area of low pressure,

0:26:550:26:59

and some uncertainty about just how

close to the eastern seaboard this

0:26:590:27:03

will get, but it does look like it

will bring some significant snow

0:27:030:27:07

across New York and up into New

England towards the end of the week,

0:27:070:27:10

which could cause some travel

problems. Now to south-east Asia in

0:27:100:27:15

this area of cloud, this tropical

depression that has brought a lot of

0:27:150:27:18

rain to the Philippines, a bit of

uncertainty about exactly where this

0:27:180:27:23

storm will track next.

It does not look like it will

0:27:230:27:25

strengthen particularly but it could

bring some rain eventually towards

0:27:250:27:28

Vietnam and some other computer not

wood models drifted away to the

0:27:280:27:32

north. Keep an eye on that because

there could well be some further

0:27:320:27:37

flooding -- some other computer

models. And this picture is quite

0:27:370:27:40

dramatic, showing a chain of

thundery downpours from the far

0:27:400:27:43

North Down the east coast of

Australia and these will continue in

0:27:430:27:47

places during Wednesday but for the

bulk of Australia things are looking

0:27:470:27:50

try with some spells of sunshine. On

the cool side for this time of year

0:27:500:27:54

in Melbourne with highs of 20

degrees. Now, closer to home in

0:27:540:27:59

Europe, this area of low pressure,

Storm Eleanor, which will bring some

0:27:590:28:05

very wet and windy weather tonight

through the British Isles, it will

0:28:050:28:08

then move its way into continental

Europe and across the low countries

0:28:080:28:12

into Germany, and noticed the

squeeze in isobars. There could be

0:28:120:28:16

some very strong winds, gales or

severe gales, and then further East

0:28:160:28:19

some outbreaks of rain and wet

weather also sinking southward

0:28:190:28:23

across Germany and France, bringing

snow over the Alps. You will notice

0:28:230:28:27

temperatures around this area are

not particularly low, and that

0:28:270:28:31

combination of snow which will

really pay a lot over the next few

0:28:310:28:41

days, and those temperatures which

will generally be fairly high for

0:28:410:28:44

this time of year, it brings quite a

significant risk of avalanches which

0:28:440:28:46

could cause some travel problems.

Temperatures in Geneva, nine or 10

0:28:460:28:48

degrees on Thursday and Friday, more

rain and snow over the mountains so

0:28:480:28:51

a significant risk of avalanche.

Back home on Wednesday, a windy day

0:28:510:28:53

with a mix of sunshine and showers,

and more details on that rate here

0:28:530:28:57

in half an hour. -- right here.

0:28:570:29:02

Hello, I'm Ros Atkins,

this is Outside Source,

0:30:090:30:11

and these are the main stories

here in the BBC Newsroom.

0:30:110:30:14

Iran's supreme leader has called

protestors 'enemies' -

0:30:140:30:16

and is alleging foreign

interference.

0:30:160:30:19

It's his first comments

after six days of protests.

0:30:190:30:21

Here's how the Trump

administration reacted.

0:30:210:30:29

The Iranian people are angry at the

rising tide of corruption in their

0:30:290:30:33

daily lives. The people are tired of

paying the price for their violent

0:30:330:30:37

and corrupt rulers.

0:30:370:30:41

paying the price for their violent

and corrupt rulers.

0:30:410:30:41

South Korea has proposed high-level

talks with North Korea next week

0:30:410:30:44

to discuss its possible

participation in

0:30:440:30:46

the Winter Olympics.

0:30:460:30:47

The development comes a day

after Kim Jong-un said

0:30:470:30:49

he was open to dialogue.

0:30:490:30:50

An American YouTube star,

Logan Paul, has prompted a barrage

0:30:500:30:52

of criticism after he posted a video

which showed the body of an apparent

0:30:520:30:56

suicide victim in Japan.

0:30:560:30:57

Logan Paul has now apologised.

0:30:570:31:07

South Korea wants direct

talks with North Korea -

0:31:170:31:19

it's even calling this

a "ground-breaking chance"

0:31:190:31:21

to improve relations.

0:31:210:31:27

It's a response to Kim Jong Un

saying he's willing to hold direct

0:31:270:31:30

talks about sending a team

to the Olympics in South Korea.

0:31:300:31:33

This is President Trump's

take - via a tweet.

0:31:330:31:38

That's President Trump - this

is South Korea's President Moon.

0:31:550:31:58

We welcome the North Korean leader,

Kim Jong-un, that he expressed a

0:31:580:32:05

willingness to send to the Olympics.

I believe that this is in response

0:32:050:32:11

to our proposal to make the Olympics

an opportunity to improve

0:32:110:32:15

inter-Korean relations and peace.

0:32:150:32:17

In his statement, Kim Jong-un

raised the possibility

0:32:170:32:19

of sending a North Korean team

to the Winter Olympics in Pyongchang

0:32:190:32:22

in South Korea next month.

0:32:220:32:29

South Korea's moved at speed.

0:32:300:32:31

It's suggesting talks

at the Panmunjom Peace House

0:32:310:32:33

on January 9th - a week's time.

0:32:330:32:36

The peace house is in an area that

straddles the border

0:32:360:32:39

between the North and South.

0:32:390:32:49

By the way, only two North Koreans

have qualified for the games.

0:32:500:32:54

They're both figure skaters.

0:32:540:33:03

More details coming into the

newsroom, the US State Department

0:33:030:33:07

have said it's up to South Korea as

to whether to hold these talks but

0:33:070:33:12

Washington is sceptical of Kim

Jong-un's sincerity, if such talks

0:33:120:33:15

happen. That is Reuters quoting the

US State Department. The Americans

0:33:150:33:20

standing back from this. A lot of

people waiting to see whether Kim

0:33:200:33:25

Jong-un would send a team to talk to

the South Koreans. We will see.

0:33:250:33:29

Well, Celia Hatton is

the Asia Pacific editor here

0:33:290:33:31

in the BBC newsroom.

0:33:310:33:32

This is her analysis

of the possibility of talks.

0:33:320:33:35

A lot of theories are swirling

around North Korea's motivations.

0:33:350:33:39

Some people believe that economic

sanctions imposed on North Korea are

0:33:390:33:43

finally beginning to bite. It really

is hurting the North Korean economy

0:33:430:33:48

on almost every level. It is thought

that maybe the North Korean leader,

0:33:480:33:53

Kim Jong-un, his thinking is that he

could give in to a Saido concession.

0:33:530:33:58

He could agree to talks and set at

the table and perhaps extract some

0:33:580:34:04

monetary gains, some aid or a climb

of sanctions without having to give

0:34:040:34:09

up anything tangible that is

important to him, namely North

0:34:090:34:13

Korea's nuclear weapons programme.

That is one theory. From the South

0:34:130:34:23

Koreans perspective, their president

complained on the idea that there

0:34:230:34:29

should be more engagement. He was

one of the architects of South

0:34:290:34:35

Korea's now dormant sunshine policy,

the idea that South Korea and North

0:34:350:34:40

Korea should warmer relations and

back when he was a presidential

0:34:400:34:44

adviser, he was the one who pushed

the idea that the two should have

0:34:440:34:49

economic ties, cultural ties, social

ties. That policy is really long

0:34:490:34:55

dead, but he has continued to

express his belief that negotiations

0:34:550:35:01

are really important. So, it is no

surprise that South Korea jumped at

0:35:010:35:05

the chance to meet with the North

Koreans face-to-face.

0:35:050:35:13

Another big story coming

out of Israel today.

0:35:130:35:15

The government has told thousands

of African migrants to leave

0:35:150:35:17

the country or face imprisonment -

and is offering up to

0:35:170:35:20

$3,500 if they leave

within the next 90 days.

0:35:200:35:23

This

0:35:230:35:25

The migrants are mostly

from Eritrea and Sudan.

0:35:280:35:30

These are pictures of some Eritreans

at a church service in Tel Aviv.

0:35:300:35:33

The vast majority of these migrants

are seeking asylum -

0:35:330:35:35

and say they've fled

persecution and conflict.

0:35:350:35:37

But the authorities regard them

as economic migrants.

0:35:370:35:47

here is Prime Minister Benjamin

Netanyahu talking earlier.

0:35:470:35:54

TRANSLATION:

We have removed 20,000

of existing infiltrators using

0:35:540:35:59

various measures. Now it's increased

removal, thanks to an international

0:35:590:36:05

agreement I reached, allowing us to

move the 40,000 remaining

0:36:050:36:08

infiltrators without their consent.

0:36:080:36:14

Now this new order exempts children,

elderly people, and victims

0:36:140:36:16

of slavery and human trafficking.

0:36:160:36:21

There has been increased monitoring

of the Libyan coast line in the

0:36:210:36:24

Mediterranean which has seen a drop

of 70% of migration travel since

0:36:240:36:31

July.

0:36:310:36:33

Now we have a special report

on the fate of African

0:36:330:36:36

migrants returning home from Libya.

0:36:360:36:37

Increased monitoring

0:36:370:36:38

of Libya's coastline has seen

migrant travel drop 70% since July.

0:36:380:36:41

This has left thousands of men stuck

in Libya and vulnerable to abuse.

0:36:410:36:44

Some, mainly from Nigeria,

have now been repatriated.

0:36:440:36:46

Stephanie Hegarty has been

to Benin in southern

0:36:460:36:48

Nigeria to meet them.

0:36:480:36:49

Many of those who've walked

the streets of Benin

0:36:490:36:51

dreamed of going to Europe.

0:36:510:36:52

Jackson and Felix almost made it.

0:36:520:36:54

But they were arrested

in a boat off the coast

0:36:540:36:56

of Libya and sent to prison.

0:36:560:36:58

They said when they were no

longer needed they were

0:37:100:37:12

dumped in the desert.

0:37:120:37:13

Rescued by a man driving by,

they were repatriated to Nigeria

0:37:130:37:16

with the help of the UN.

0:37:160:37:17

We spoke to several Nigerian

migrants, crosschecking

0:37:170:37:19

the details of their stories,

and each told us of

0:37:190:37:21

the same horrifying trend.

0:37:210:37:23

Prison authorities leasing

or selling migrants to local

0:37:230:37:25

businesses as labour.

0:37:250:37:30

It's a new development

in a dark and brutal industry

0:37:300:37:33

in which traffickers and prison

guards extort migrants,

0:37:330:37:35

forcing them to buy their freedom.

0:37:350:37:38

This man was arrested in Libya

in 2015 and brought to prison.

0:37:480:37:51

He says the man bought his freedom

and forced him to work for nothing.

0:37:510:38:06

After three months,

he refused to continue.

0:38:060:38:10

Back in prison, he was told

he was going to be deported.

0:38:190:38:22

Instead he was taken

here for seven months.

0:38:220:38:29

How many people did you see die?

Almost 20 or 30.

Here, at this

0:38:290:38:36

hotel, 200 men and women have just

arrived from Libya, they are being

0:38:360:38:41

processed and received by

authorities here. Many of them have

0:38:410:38:44

stories of abuse and mistreatment at

the hands of authorities, and Libyan

0:38:440:38:48

detention centres, where they are

held. At least three people I spoke

0:38:480:38:52

to so far told me they were forced

to work for free or sold as slaves.

0:38:520:39:05

Again and again, the prisoners

mentioned as a place of terrible

0:39:230:39:26

abuse. It is run by Libya's Ministry

of interior which itself is run by

0:39:260:39:32

two militia groups. Libya is in the

middle of a civil War and these

0:39:320:39:36

militia are only nominally under the

UN recognised government in Tripoli.

0:39:360:39:41

The Libyan and interior ministry did

not respond to our attempts to set

0:39:410:39:44

up an interview. The US migration

agency says there are 700 migrants

0:39:440:39:53

-- 700,000 migrants still stuck in

Libya. Governments have stepped up

0:39:530:39:55

their efforts to get citizens home

and thousands have been repatriated

0:39:550:40:00

in the last few weeks. Carrying on

talk trauma, those that do come home

0:40:000:40:04

had to begin the hard work of

rebuilding their lives. Stephanie

0:40:150:40:20

The 2018 PyeongChang Winter Olympics

begin in just over a month's

0:40:260:40:29

time in South Korea.

0:40:290:40:30

Whilst concerns about the on-going

conflict with North Korea

0:40:300:40:32

and the Russian doping scandal have

dominated much of the build-up,

0:40:320:40:35

the British team are aiming to make

history at the Games themselves.

0:40:350:40:37

BBC Sport's Nick Hope takes a look

at some of the best British

0:40:370:40:41

prospects in Path to PyeongChang...

0:40:410:40:51

It takes a special kind of athlete

to succeed at the Winter Olympics.

0:40:550:41:01

Traditionally, British success has

been sporadic at best. But in recent

0:41:010:41:05

years, Team GB has finally joined

the party.

Lizzie Arnold is the

0:41:050:41:12

Olympic champion, my goodness!

Bella

four GB medals during Sochi 2014 and

0:41:120:41:16

that could yet be upgraded to a

record haul of five with a bobsleigh

0:41:160:41:20

bronze following the Russian doping

scandal. But British athletes are

0:41:200:41:25

winning more major medals now than

at any point in history. So there is

0:41:250:41:29

every chance that the Bjorn Chang

2018 and South Korea could be

0:41:290:41:35

Britain's best ever games --

Pyongchang. One of Britain's best

0:41:350:41:41

multi-medal prospects is Elise

Christie, she will compete in three

0:41:410:41:48

events. Since the last games she's

become a world champion but is

0:41:480:41:51

looking to put her in thick demons

firmly behind her after a

0:41:510:41:55

devastating Sochi 2014.

They've gone

down! I can't believe she's been

0:41:550:42:06

penalised again!

It has been tough,

I cannot even describe how hard it

0:42:060:42:16

was. I suffered a lot after it in my

life, in my normal life too. I had a

0:42:160:42:23

crash at the games, the Korean girl

was taken out and I received a lot

0:42:230:42:27

of online abuse and death threats

from the South Koreans. It changed

0:42:270:42:32

me as a person, a lost -- I lost a

lot of confidence from that but

0:42:320:42:38

since then I've had a turnaround.

She's the first British woman to win

0:42:380:42:42

a short track world title.

People

became fans and they were sorry for

0:42:420:42:46

how people me. A majority of the

South Koreans already support me.

0:42:460:42:53

It's nice to see how much I've moved

forward since then. I'm a totally

0:42:530:42:58

different skater. I've developed so

much but I don't know how I would

0:42:580:43:04

survive if it happens again. When I

go to the Olympics I'm hoping to win

0:43:040:43:10

a gold medal. Definitely wanted more

than anything else but I needed with

0:43:100:43:18

what happened in Sochi, to get

redemption for any mistakes I made.

0:43:180:43:23

If I won Gold, it would be

undescribable.

The British bobsleigh

0:43:230:43:34

four man team finished fifth, an

agonising 0.1 one seconds from

0:43:340:43:40

medals in 2014 but they are in line

for an upgrade to bronze after the

0:43:400:43:45

disqualification of the Russian team

for doping offences.

Corruption on

0:43:450:43:50

an unprecedented scale, 1000 Russian

athletes are accused of doping...

0:43:500:43:55

The Russian government organised and

directed a sophisticated doping

0:43:550:43:59

programme.

Great Britain looked set

to win a bobsleigh bronze medal,

0:43:590:44:09

nearly four years after the Sochi

Olympics.

0:44:090:44:23

A moment has been stolen. I feel

like we fought so hard, knowing that

0:44:240:44:28

we were good enough to get on the

podium. It is difficult to take.

0:44:280:44:35

Gray as we are seeing in all sports

now, this is happening all too

0:44:350:44:40

frequently. It is a sad state.

It

would have been a massive family

0:44:400:44:46

achievement more than anything.

Funding would have been much higher.

0:44:460:44:52

The personal reward of it, that

potentially would have meant the

0:44:520:44:57

opportunity for us to further our

careers.

I need a medal.

How much

0:44:570:45:04

would you like it to be resolved in

Pyongchang?

One of the things that's

0:45:040:45:10

always mentioned is how do you feel

about your moment been stolen from

0:45:100:45:14

you? In some ways it can be

corrected by presenting a medal in

0:45:140:45:17

Bjorn Chang. -- in Pyongchang.

A

silver for Great Britain!

You have

0:45:170:45:29

another chance to do it at the games

themselves, the team is going in the

0:45:290:45:33

right direction.

It is, the

possibilities are huge for this

0:45:330:45:40

team.

The British four-man team from

Sochi 2014 should learn whether they

0:45:400:45:47

will receive a retrospective bronze

medal by late January. Sliding

0:45:470:45:53

sports will not enter the Winter

Paralympics until Beijing 2022 but

0:45:530:45:58

for Pyongchang 2018, Britain still

possess several medal prospects.

0:45:580:46:01

These are the ones to watch for the

Paralympics GB...

0:46:010:46:06

Like Britain's wheelchair curlers,

GB Olympic colours have enjoyed

0:47:100:47:14

plenty of medal success in recent

games, the women won at bronze while

0:47:140:47:18

the men got silver in Sochi 2014 and

both collective European honours in

0:47:180:47:22

the last few months, suggesting that

they are arguably in career-best

0:47:220:47:26

form. Both teams will be boosted by

the presence of these two. Evil skip

0:47:260:47:40

the women's top while the boys will

line up for the GB men.

It will make

0:47:400:47:45

things more exciting and extra

special. Not every day you can

0:47:450:47:50

compete at the Olympics alongside

two of your brothers, with Great

0:47:500:47:53

Britain on your back and obviously

family watching. It makes it really

0:47:530:47:58

exciting. I guess there is some

added pressure, having been

0:47:580:48:01

medallists before. You have a podium

to step up to but there is nothing

0:48:010:48:09

stopping us, we will be as good as

last time, if not even better!

The

0:48:090:48:17

Winter Olympics have been

revitalised by freestyle skiing and

0:48:170:48:21

snowboarding events in the 21st

century and Great Britain finally

0:48:210:48:24

claimed a first-ever Winter Olympic

medal on the snow with Jenny Jones

0:48:240:48:32

snapping up a bronze medal. Although

she isn't competing any more, there

0:48:320:48:42

is plenty more... I spend more than

quarter of a century reporting on

0:48:420:48:48

winter sport and I can say hand on

heart going into Pyongchang, Britain

0:48:480:48:52

has never had so many medal

contenders... Firstly, you have to

0:48:520:48:56

talk about Katie Ormerod, she just

missed out on Sochi four years ago

0:48:560:49:01

and since then, she has established

herself as one of the best big air

0:49:010:49:06

and slopestyle riders on the tour.

The next rider to talk about is

0:49:060:49:10

Billie Morgan, the first man to land

the hallowed quad core, the biggest

0:49:100:49:15

trick in snowboarding right now.

He's another serious contender.

0:49:150:49:19

Jamie Nicholls is my dark horse

pick, pound for pound one of the

0:49:190:49:23

best rail riders in the world and

has been working hard. He is a

0:49:230:49:29

brilliant all-round rider and can be

a serious hope for a medal. We

0:49:290:49:33

cannot forget about the skiers,

there is no shortage of talent in

0:49:330:49:36

that pool! James Woods is top of the

list, fifth in Sochi while carrying

0:49:360:49:41

a hip injury, the last 12 months

have been a brilliant build-up to

0:49:410:49:43

the games. He's had by Games and

World Cup gold medals. You have

0:49:430:49:54

Katie Summerhays, she has banked a

silver on the World Cup already this

0:49:540:49:57

year. I don't know about you but I

am very excited about Team GB's

0:49:570:50:02

prospects in Bjorn Chang! -- in

Pyongchang.

There is plenty of medal

0:50:020:50:11

potential from the freestyle

perspective but less look at Team

0:50:110:50:15

GB's other prospects on the path to

Pyongchang.

Britain has struggled in

0:50:150:50:23

Alpine skiing for decades but slalom

specialist Dave Riding now has World

0:50:230:50:27

Cup success to his name. First, this

competitor competing as a mother,

0:50:270:50:36

she gave birth to her daughter in

2016. She's already training her for

0:50:360:50:40

a future in the sport! Ice dancers

Penny Coomes and Nick Buckland have

0:50:400:50:45

been one of sport's most unlucky

duos in recent years. Butland needed

0:50:450:50:51

heart surgery before the last

Olympics and Penny Coomes shattered

0:50:510:50:55

her knee in 2016. Now they are back

on the up. Andrew Musgrave is

0:50:550:50:59

another certainly on top of his

game, and competes in one of the

0:50:590:51:03

Olympics toughest events.

Cross-country skiing. The British

0:51:030:51:10

bobsleigh team had all of their

support on hold before the games but

0:51:100:51:13

a crowdfunding campaign saw them

raise over £40,000. Also keep an eye

0:51:130:51:19

out for Laura Dees in skeleton. A

Welsh woman one World Cup honours in

0:51:190:51:25

recent years and is looking to make

an impact in her Olympic debut...

0:51:250:51:30

Britain's leading slider remains

Lizzie Arnold. The Olympic champion

0:51:300:51:34

from Sochi 2014 who took a year-long

career break since the last games.

0:51:340:51:39

She has returned refreshed but has

struggled to find consistency of

0:51:390:51:42

old...

Lizzie Arnold is the Olympic

champion. My goodness!

Since I was a

0:51:420:51:50

kid I wanted to go to the Olympics.

To say I'm an Olympian and a gold

0:51:500:51:54

medallist, that is mind blowing.

After Sochi, there was a niggling

0:51:540:52:01

thing that I hadn't yet been a World

Cup champion or European champion.

0:52:010:52:06

My mind skipped immediately to that.

To be able to achieve all four

0:52:060:52:10

titles with them 407 days, in two

seasons, was awesome but I was so

0:52:100:52:19

exhausted. I'm glad I took the time.

Training was much harder than I

0:52:190:52:25

remembered. It is constant.

Everything we do is in a basement,

0:52:250:52:32

at the gym, lifting weights and

trying to get stronger and faster.

0:52:320:52:38

The past 18 months, I think it has

been very up and down.

Lizzie Arnold

0:52:380:52:43

takes the bronze medal!

She is way

back in tenth of rococo position!

0:52:430:52:53

She may struggle to get another heat

after that run.

At the moment my

0:52:530:52:58

results are not where I want them to

be. I believe in myself and I have

0:52:580:53:03

confidence. The goal of trying to

become the first British Winter

0:53:030:53:09

Olympian to retain my title is so

motivating. That gets me out of bed

0:53:090:53:14

every morning.

0:53:140:53:17

As you've been seeing, with more

medal prospects for Great Britain

0:53:200:53:24

across Winter sports than at any

point in history, there's every

0:53:240:53:26

chance that Bjorn Chang 2018 could

be record-breaking for Great

0:53:260:53:30

Britain... -- Pyongchang 2018.

0:53:300:53:48

Winter Olympics on the BBC Sport
