0:00:06 > 0:00:11Hello, I'm Ros Atkins, this is Outside Source.
0:00:11 > 0:00:13Starting in Washington...
0:00:13 > 0:00:15President Trump has accused Steve Bannon of losing his mind.
0:00:15 > 0:00:17This after his former chief strategist reportedly accused
0:00:17 > 0:00:19Mr Trump's son and son-in-law of treasonous and
0:00:19 > 0:00:23unpatriotic behaviour.
0:00:23 > 0:00:25This phone looks like it's from another century,
0:00:25 > 0:00:28but it's a vital link between North and South Korea - and it's
0:00:28 > 0:00:33just received a call.
0:00:33 > 0:00:36The North Koreans have called for the first time in two years.
0:00:36 > 0:00:39The bionic hand with a sense of touch - we have an exclusive
0:00:39 > 0:00:42report on the woman who's been testing it out for scientists
0:00:42 > 0:00:43in the real world.
0:00:43 > 0:00:46And Iceland is the first country in the world to make it illegal
0:00:46 > 0:00:49for men to be paid more than women for doing the same job.
0:01:07 > 0:01:11I feel like I have said this to you a few times, but...
0:01:11 > 0:01:14I'm not sure we have ever seen a statement like this
0:01:14 > 0:01:15from a President of America.
0:01:15 > 0:01:16Steve Bannon was Donald Trump's chief strategist.
0:01:17 > 0:01:18They campaigned together.
0:01:18 > 0:01:19They were in the White House together.
0:01:19 > 0:01:21Now this.
0:01:21 > 0:01:25A lengthy statement on Bannon by Trump in which the President
0:01:25 > 0:01:27says, "When he was fired, Steve not only lost his job,
0:01:28 > 0:01:30he lost his mind."
0:01:30 > 0:01:31He goes on.
0:01:31 > 0:01:35"Steve had very little to do with our historic victory," and says
0:01:35 > 0:01:41"Steve doesn't represent my base - he's only in it for himself."
0:01:41 > 0:01:45That's just the first two paragraphs.
0:01:45 > 0:01:47This isn't a Democrat, or an old guard Republican,
0:01:47 > 0:01:50or the media - this is the guy who helped him get the Presidency,
0:01:50 > 0:01:52the guy who oversaw the policy priorities at the start
0:01:52 > 0:02:03of the Presidency.
0:02:03 > 0:02:06If at this point you're thinking, "What's Trump doing?"
0:02:06 > 0:02:08Well, in the short-term, it's almost certainly to do
0:02:08 > 0:02:11with this excerpt of a new book on Trump by Michael Wolff
0:02:11 > 0:02:12that's been published by New York Magazine today.
0:02:13 > 0:02:19And Steve Bannon features heavily.
0:02:19 > 0:02:24For matters like this, we tend to turn to Katty Kay. Here is her view
0:02:24 > 0:02:29on Donald Trump's day in the office. It has been a pretty spectacular 18
0:02:29 > 0:02:33hours. We started with President Trump comparing the size of his
0:02:33 > 0:02:38nuclear button to that of Kim Jong Un, and in the last few hours we
0:02:38 > 0:02:42have had him dumping quite spectacularly Steve Bannon, who was
0:02:42 > 0:02:46the brains, really, but I'm President Trump's election victory.
0:02:46 > 0:02:51These two were very close. His campaign was in a mess, Steve Bannon
0:02:51 > 0:02:56was brought in. They were very close and simpatico, it was always said
0:02:56 > 0:03:00Steve Bannon really got President Trump, understood that they sent her
0:03:00 > 0:03:06to connect Donald Trump to the base and that was white Trump won the
0:03:06 > 0:03:11election in 2016. Now they have had the spectacular falling out in
0:03:11 > 0:03:14public. You have to wonder whether the tweet I started by talking
0:03:14 > 0:03:19about, comparing the size of his nuclear button to North Korea,
0:03:19 > 0:03:22whether that didn't actually presage some kind of stress in the White
0:03:22 > 0:03:25House and whether the White House was not aware that the book excerpt
0:03:25 > 0:03:32was about to drop? Before all the heat-- before the heat goes on
0:03:32 > 0:03:36Donald Trump, Steve Bannon does not hold back, he does not behave like
0:03:36 > 0:03:42somebody on the same side as Trump? It is pretty spectacular. Michael
0:03:42 > 0:03:45Wolff is a journalist who has spoken at length to Steve Bannon. Steve
0:03:45 > 0:03:50Bannon called a meeting between Donald Trump's son and his campaign
0:03:50 > 0:03:54manager and a Russian operative in June 2016, Steve Bannon said it was
0:03:54 > 0:03:59treasonous, they should have gone straight to the FBI. At one point in
0:03:59 > 0:04:05the book he says the authorities are going to crack open tonal junior
0:04:05 > 0:04:09like an egg, he says. This is the type of language that will really
0:04:09 > 0:04:14rattled Donald Trump. He holds family very dear. Here is Steve
0:04:14 > 0:04:19Bannon, his former ally and campaign manager, his former adviser and
0:04:19 > 0:04:23strategist in the White House, turning directly and publicly on
0:04:23 > 0:04:28Donald Trump's son. No wonder the president is not happy.Stay with
0:04:28 > 0:04:34us, let's explore what you have spoken about.
0:04:34 > 0:04:38The number of treat sent by the president since the beginning of the
0:04:38 > 0:04:43year. It was January the 3rd, he has sent 20 treats, most of which are
0:04:43 > 0:04:47extraordinary. He has said the Palestinians do not want peace, he
0:04:47 > 0:04:50has attacked the wrong nuclear deal and said Barack Obama provided
0:04:50 > 0:04:54millions of dollars of terrorism through it, he has promised his very
0:04:54 > 0:05:00own fake News awards and demanded the FBI seeks to jail a former
0:05:00 > 0:05:05adviser of Hillary Clinton. On top of this, in an absurd bout of
0:05:05 > 0:05:09presidential bully waving, he responded to Kim Jong Un as saying
0:05:09 > 0:05:13will someone tell the man I have a nuclear button but it is much bigger
0:05:13 > 0:05:21and much more powerful than his, and my button works. Katty, on one level
0:05:21 > 0:05:24it is studied, on the other hand we're talking about highly volatile
0:05:24 > 0:05:31men with nuclear weapons? -- on one level it is funny.I spoke to one
0:05:31 > 0:05:35person who said he wished the president had not treated that and
0:05:35 > 0:05:38does not serve American interests, one national security and foreign
0:05:38 > 0:05:43policy expert says there is a detriment to America, saying you
0:05:43 > 0:05:49could dismiss this as a joke. You use the language that I would not
0:05:49 > 0:05:54use about comparison and combat between the men. The Kim Jong Un
0:05:54 > 0:05:57gave a speech on New Year's Day in which he talked about having a
0:05:57 > 0:06:00nuclear button on his desk. Donald Trump seems to have been taunted by
0:06:00 > 0:06:05that into sending out this rather extraordinary tweet. There have been
0:06:05 > 0:06:09a slew of reports in the US in the last few days about how the
0:06:09 > 0:06:14president can be played by foreign leaders. National security experts
0:06:14 > 0:06:20are worried he can be played by Kim Jong Un, taunted, effectively, by
0:06:20 > 0:06:23the very reckless, unpredictable leader of North Korea. And if he can
0:06:23 > 0:06:28be taunted in this way and both countries, one of them has a huge
0:06:28 > 0:06:31nuclear arsenal, the other is on the verge of gaining nuclear weapons
0:06:31 > 0:06:35that can be delivered, that is a very combustible mix. It might sound
0:06:35 > 0:06:40like a joke, makes everybody laugh, but we're talking about two
0:06:40 > 0:06:44potential nuclear powers and an awful lot of conflict and the
0:06:44 > 0:06:53potential that something could just go wrong and a mistake be made.
0:06:53 > 0:06:56I have not heard anyone say on either side that this kind of
0:06:56 > 0:06:58tweeters helpful to the US or global security.Katty Kay and Christian
0:06:58 > 0:07:01Fraser are an error couple of hours before Outside Source Connor Wood
0:07:01 > 0:07:05Beyond 100 Days. In the last hour Sarah Huckabee
0:07:05 > 0:07:09Sanders has given a press conference at the White House. Inevitably Steve
0:07:09 > 0:07:13Bannon and Donald Trump came up, and Steve Bannon's accusation that a
0:07:13 > 0:07:17meeting between figures within the Trump administration and the
0:07:17 > 0:07:21Russians during the presidential campaign was treason. This is what
0:07:21 > 0:07:25she said.I think that is a ridiculous accusation, one I am
0:07:25 > 0:07:29pretty sure we have addressed many times from here before. If that is
0:07:29 > 0:07:33in reference to comments made by Mr Bannon, I would refer you to the
0:07:33 > 0:07:44ones he made previously on 60 Minutes where he called the
0:07:44 > 0:07:46collusion with Russia about this president a total farce, so I would
0:07:46 > 0:07:49look back at that. If anybody has been inconsistent, it has been him.
0:07:49 > 0:07:51It has not been the president or the administration.REPORTER: Did the
0:07:51 > 0:07:55president meet any of Donald Trump Jr's guests at the June 2016 Trump
0:07:55 > 0:07:59Tower meeting?As the president has stated many times, no, and he was
0:07:59 > 0:08:03not aware of that. A couple of people have treated
0:08:03 > 0:08:07asking if we know about a fire at Hillary Clinton's home. Not very
0:08:07 > 0:08:08much, this is what we can tell you.
0:08:24 > 0:08:28We will provide more information as and when we get it. At the moment,
0:08:28 > 0:08:29that a copy from CBS is all we have.
0:08:29 > 0:08:32While Donald Trump has been tweeting about North Korea and
0:08:32 > 0:08:34the size of his button, there was an important phone call
0:08:34 > 0:08:35on the Korean peninsula.
0:08:35 > 0:08:38This is the hotline between the North and the South -
0:08:38 > 0:08:41looking just as you'd expect a hotline to look.
0:08:41 > 0:08:45South Korea says that earlier the phone rang
0:08:45 > 0:08:47for the first time in two years.
0:08:47 > 0:08:52Sophie Long is in Seoul.
0:08:52 > 0:08:57A very traditional physical telephone line was re-established
0:08:57 > 0:09:00between North and South Korea. On the stage and television service in
0:09:00 > 0:09:03North Korea today, Pyongyang announced it would reopen the
0:09:03 > 0:09:08so-called Red Cross line. Just after 3:30pm Seoul time this afternoon we
0:09:08 > 0:09:12heard from the South Korean unification ministry that they had
0:09:12 > 0:09:14received a telephone call from North Korea.
0:09:14 > 0:09:18That is the first direct telephone call to take place between the
0:09:18 > 0:09:21countries for nearly two years. It is being seen as another step
0:09:21 > 0:09:26towards the opening of dialogue between North Korea and South Korea.
0:09:26 > 0:09:31South Korea offered what it called high-level talks to the North
0:09:31 > 0:09:34yesterday, we still do not know whether the North will accept the
0:09:34 > 0:09:38offer but it has been proposed for the 9th of January, next Tuesday,
0:09:38 > 0:09:42exactly a month ahead of the Winter Olympics getting under way here in
0:09:42 > 0:09:44South Korea. If those talks take place it is
0:09:44 > 0:09:48expected that is what they will discuss, whether Pyongyang will send
0:09:48 > 0:09:52a delegation to the Winter Olympics. The South Korean president has
0:09:52 > 0:09:59previously said he really feels that those games could mark a turning
0:09:59 > 0:10:01point in relations and help the escalate tensions on the Korean
0:10:01 > 0:10:08peninsula.
0:10:08 > 0:10:10One of President Trump's many targets this New Year
0:10:10 > 0:10:11is the Palestinians.
0:10:11 > 0:10:13He says they show "No appreciation or respect" for "hundreds
0:10:13 > 0:10:16of millions of dollars a year" and "the Palestinians are no longer
0:10:16 > 0:10:18willing to talk peace".
0:10:18 > 0:10:21Why should we make any of these massive future payments to them, he
0:10:21 > 0:10:22said.
0:10:22 > 0:10:24As you'd expect, the Palestinians have pushed back.
0:10:24 > 0:10:26The PLO tweeted, "By recognizing Occupied Jerusalem as Israel's
0:10:26 > 0:10:28capital Trump has singlehandedly destroyed the very
0:10:28 > 0:10:34foundations of peace."
0:10:34 > 0:10:36Two quite different perspectives.
0:10:36 > 0:10:39Looking at the figures, the US provided $260 million of bilateral
0:10:39 > 0:10:43aid for Palestinians in 2016.
0:10:43 > 0:10:46And it's also the largest single donor to the UN Agency
0:10:46 > 0:10:52for Palestine Refugees, providing $368 million in 2016 -
0:10:52 > 0:10:55which it has threatened to cut as well after the UN
0:10:55 > 0:10:56General Assembly overwhelming condemning America's recognition
0:10:56 > 0:11:00of Jerusalem as Israel's capital.
0:11:00 > 0:11:07It is very far clear of all the others, including the EU. But is
0:11:07 > 0:11:11this enough to push the Palestinians to the negotiating table?
0:11:11 > 0:11:16Here's Anthony Zurcher.
0:11:16 > 0:11:19Early in Donald Trump's presidential campaign he said he was a negotiator
0:11:19 > 0:11:23who could be independent and bring the sides together. He built himself
0:11:23 > 0:11:27as somebody who would not take one side over the other. As the
0:11:27 > 0:11:29presidential campaign proceeded he more and more embrace the Israeli
0:11:29 > 0:11:35side of negotiations to the point that when he was elected it became
0:11:35 > 0:11:39largely his focus. Now we're seeing about playing into policy, with the
0:11:39 > 0:11:43declaration of Jerusalem as the capital and the intent to move the
0:11:43 > 0:11:46US embassy there. It was an interesting series of tweets last
0:11:46 > 0:11:51night, obviously overshadowed by the North Korea to eat later the talking
0:11:51 > 0:11:56about the power of American money and support cutting off, I think it
0:11:56 > 0:12:00was, 600 million that the US gave the Palestinians in 2016, using that
0:12:00 > 0:12:05effectively as a cudgel to bring them back to the negotiating table.
0:12:05 > 0:12:08What is it that Donald Trump would like the Palestinians to do in order
0:12:08 > 0:12:12to not be on the receiving end of these kind of tweets?
0:12:12 > 0:12:17First and foremost the Palestinians since Thatcher is an announcement
0:12:17 > 0:12:22have said they are not going to take part in any peace negotiations with
0:12:22 > 0:12:27the US as the intermediary. So the first goal is to bring them back
0:12:27 > 0:12:30into negotiations. Mike Pence, the vice president, has planned on going
0:12:30 > 0:12:35over to the Middle East, to Israel, on a state visit at some point this
0:12:35 > 0:12:40month. I think they wanted to not be the subject of mass protests when he
0:12:40 > 0:12:46gets there. -- I think they want him not to be. The goal at the beginning
0:12:46 > 0:12:52is to start dialogue and to get the Palestinians to accept Jerusalem as
0:12:52 > 0:12:58Israel's capital and to adjust their negotiating objectives accordingly.
0:12:58 > 0:13:01I was Peter Anthony later about the various challenges facing Donald
0:13:01 > 0:13:06Trump in the coming weeks, both in Washington and with regard to
0:13:06 > 0:13:12foreign policy -- I will speak to Anthony later.
0:13:12 > 0:13:14Once again, Iceland is making strides on gender equality.
0:13:14 > 0:13:17It's now illegal there for men to be paid more than women
0:13:17 > 0:13:18for doing the same job.
0:13:18 > 0:13:19Iceland has form in this area.
0:13:19 > 0:13:22Every year the World Economic Forum measures gender equality -
0:13:22 > 0:13:25and in recent years Iceland is always top of the country list.
0:13:25 > 0:13:26The study considers factors like pay, education
0:13:26 > 0:13:31and participation in government.
0:13:31 > 0:13:33Now, globally, average earnings between men and women
0:13:33 > 0:13:40differ by $9000 a year.
0:13:40 > 0:13:45Only 20% of parliamentarians are women.
0:13:45 > 0:13:48And 44% of women are not doing paid work - though, of course,
0:13:48 > 0:13:53many of them are working.
0:13:53 > 0:14:01This is the Icelandic journalist Sigrun Davidsdottir.
0:14:01 > 0:14:08The hope is that if this works as intended it should eradicate gender
0:14:08 > 0:14:15bias, which is often somehow built into pay systems. So the standard
0:14:15 > 0:14:18should actually... Well, if it works, it should eradicate this
0:14:18 > 0:14:25bias. I think most women in Iceland still feel that not enough has been
0:14:25 > 0:14:32done, and so on. It is not that we think that everything is perfect,
0:14:32 > 0:14:36far from it, there is still gender inequality aunts and gender bias,
0:14:36 > 0:14:42but we hope this is a step in the right direction.
0:14:42 > 0:14:46In a few minutes we will update you on the protest in Iran. The head of
0:14:46 > 0:14:50the Revolutionary Guard say they are over, that social media tells a
0:14:50 > 0:14:53different story. We will have the latest on pro-and anti-Government
0:14:53 > 0:15:00protests.
0:15:00 > 0:15:02The BBC understands one in ten NHS hospital trusts have
0:15:02 > 0:15:04declared a major incident in the past 24 hours.
0:15:04 > 0:15:06Hospitals have reported struggling to cope with the surge
0:15:06 > 0:15:09in patients since Christmas - and NHS England has cancelled
0:15:09 > 0:15:15all non-urgent operations until the end of the month.
0:15:15 > 0:15:20I want to apologise for the fact that we have had, regrettably, to
0:15:20 > 0:15:24postpone a number of operations. We are trying to do it differently this
0:15:24 > 0:15:28year. Last year we cancelled a lot of operations at the very last
0:15:28 > 0:15:32minute, so people got called the day before to say their operation was
0:15:32 > 0:15:37not going ahead. That is obviously very undesirable, so we want to do
0:15:37 > 0:15:41it in a much more planned way. But our hope is that the total number of
0:15:41 > 0:15:44cancelled operations will not be significantly higher this year than
0:15:44 > 0:15:51last. The signs are that we are managing to keep the occupancy
0:15:51 > 0:15:56levels relatively lower than last year. But we are dealing with an
0:15:56 > 0:15:58uptick in fluent respiratory illness which is creating particular
0:15:58 > 0:16:06pressures. -- in flu and respiratory illness.
0:16:06 > 0:16:09This is Outside Source live from the BBC newsroom.
0:16:09 > 0:16:12Our lead story is President Trump has said his former chief strategist
0:16:12 > 0:16:15Steve Bannon has lost his mind after he reportedly called a meeting
0:16:15 > 0:16:24between the Trump team and a Russian lawyer treasonous and unpatriotic.
0:16:24 > 0:16:28These are some of the main stories on BBC World Service, first from BBC

0:16:29 > 0:16:31A general strike by members of India's low-caste Dalit community

0:16:55 > 0:16:58of a frustrated passenger on a Ryanair flight.
0:16:58 > 0:17:01After the plane was delayed, the man decided to leave
0:17:01 > 0:17:04through the emergency exit - and sat on the wing.
0:17:04 > 0:17:06As he could have predicted, he was then arrested
0:17:06 > 0:17:10by airport security.
0:17:16 > 0:17:19Let's update you on the protests in Iran.
0:17:19 > 0:17:21The head of Iran's revolutionary guards says the protests of the past
0:17:21 > 0:17:23few days have been defeated.
0:17:23 > 0:17:25Also state media has been broadcasting these images of massive
0:17:25 > 0:17:26pro-government demonstrations.
0:17:26 > 0:17:29Here they are - tens of thousands of people marching through a number
0:17:29 > 0:17:31of towns and cities, chanting slogans in support
0:17:31 > 0:17:36of Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
0:17:36 > 0:17:39Of course, state media has been less keen to show
0:17:39 > 0:17:40the anti-government demos.
0:17:40 > 0:17:42No such problem on social media.
0:17:42 > 0:17:49These are the latest images of protests in Tehran last night.
0:17:49 > 0:17:53We know a number of people turned out to express their frustrations
0:17:53 > 0:17:56with different parts of the Government plasma performance.
0:17:56 > 0:17:59I also wanted to show you animation which uses data from opponents
0:17:59 > 0:18:02of the regime to mark the protests, which they say have been
0:18:02 > 0:18:05in almost every province - even rural ones which tend
0:18:05 > 0:18:09to be more conservative.
0:18:09 > 0:18:16They have an agenda in suggesting this is widespread, of course.
0:18:16 > 0:18:19The next thing to show you are the thoughts of AFP's Tehran
0:18:19 > 0:18:27correspondent Eric Randolph.
0:18:27 > 0:18:29In terms of anti-government protests, things seem to have come
0:18:29 > 0:18:34down quite a bit. It is obviously very difficult for us to get
0:18:34 > 0:18:36verifiable information from the provinces and even to move around
0:18:36 > 0:18:42very much in Teheran during what the Government calls illegal protests.
0:18:42 > 0:18:45What we can see and from what we're getting on social media and from
0:18:45 > 0:18:51contacts around the country, the anti-regime violence we have seen in
0:18:51 > 0:18:55recent days seems to have calmed down. Today is about the authorities
0:18:55 > 0:19:01showing their own show of strength with these quite impressive and huge
0:19:01 > 0:19:05rallies in various cities around the country. We have been surprised
0:19:05 > 0:19:11several times in the past week with how things have continued, but it
0:19:11 > 0:19:15does seem that the wind is up, up the cells of the protesters for now.
0:19:15 > 0:19:22As a result I think the security forces have taken a wait-and-see
0:19:22 > 0:19:25approach to the unrest, did not want to come from people too strongly.
0:19:25 > 0:19:30There were a large number of arrests, 450 people in Tehran alone,
0:19:30 > 0:19:37but they did not unleash the Revolutionary Guard is yet. As a
0:19:37 > 0:19:42result things have stayed relatively calm in that front. But that is
0:19:42 > 0:19:45always there in the background, should it be needed.
0:19:45 > 0:19:48A serious flaw in the design of Intel's chips will require
0:19:48 > 0:19:50Microsoft, Linux and Apple to update operating systems for
0:19:50 > 0:19:53computers around the world.
0:19:53 > 0:19:55Shares in Intel were down almost 6% in US trading
0:19:56 > 0:20:03after the issue was revealed.
0:20:03 > 0:20:09Let's speak to Yogita Limaye New York. What is wrong with them?
0:20:09 > 0:20:14Intel have responded to this story now and their take on this is
0:20:14 > 0:20:18completely different. Firstly, they are saying that they are not the
0:20:18 > 0:20:22only technology company affected. They are saying this is not a bug or
0:20:22 > 0:20:27a flaw, it is basically a new software analysis method, which is
0:20:27 > 0:20:32what they are saying, but they admitted has the capability of
0:20:32 > 0:20:36accessing sensitive information on your computer system, your computer
0:20:36 > 0:20:41operating system. It says it cannot delete, modify or correct the
0:20:41 > 0:20:46information and what they have also said as they are working with the
0:20:46 > 0:20:51operating system providers and other technology companies to provide
0:20:51 > 0:20:53fixes for this. Essentially not many details coming
0:20:53 > 0:20:58out about how exactly they were made aware of the problem, but the fact
0:20:58 > 0:21:02that Intel says they are not the only ones, essentially they are
0:21:02 > 0:21:06saying the technology industry as a whole has known about this, this is
0:21:06 > 0:21:11a disclosure that they were all planning to make next week together
0:21:11 > 0:21:16along with a way of fixing it. But because of media reports today which
0:21:16 > 0:21:19they claim are incorrect, they have come out with the statement today.
0:21:19 > 0:21:24If somebody is watching us, and millions of people, frankly, we'll
0:21:24 > 0:21:28be watching who use computers with Intel chips, what should they do,
0:21:28 > 0:21:34wait for an update to their OS? Essentially that is what Intel says,
0:21:34 > 0:21:38go to your operating system provider or manufacturer, ask for the latest
0:21:38 > 0:21:44software update and use it. They are saying there were reports that this
0:21:44 > 0:21:47could cause some systems to slow down. Intel are saying that should
0:21:47 > 0:21:53not happen, it depends on how much you use computer, your computer,
0:21:53 > 0:21:59what you use, but it should not slow your system down. They are saying
0:21:59 > 0:22:03find the latest update and downloaded.Thank you very much,
0:22:03 > 0:22:04Yogita Limaye in New York.
0:22:04 > 0:22:07Streaming giant Spotify has been hit with a $1.6 billion lawsuit -
0:22:07 > 0:22:09they're accused of using thousands of songs without permission.
0:22:09 > 0:22:19Some analysts are not surprised by the lawsuit
0:22:20 > 0:22:25I think copyright and intellectual property can be a grey area, the
0:22:25 > 0:22:28ownership of those things. Content is copyright and sold to other
0:22:28 > 0:22:32groups in the sense of ownership can be diluted overtones. Occasionally
0:22:32 > 0:22:36you get legal actions where they look to clarify and make clear where
0:22:36 > 0:22:41the ownership lies. There might be elements of that. 50 million songs,
0:22:41 > 0:22:45songwriters influencing other songwriters, lots of sampling, it is
0:22:45 > 0:22:49inevitable that a lot of banging together of songs and copyright will
0:22:49 > 0:22:58happen from time to time.Next report from Theo Leggett. He has
0:22:58 > 0:23:01been looking at companies trying to dominate the self driving car
0:23:01 > 0:23:09industry. It is hugely competitive, as you know. The companies that
0:23:09 > 0:23:17brought us Volvo and Google are involved, so was Renault.
0:23:50 > 0:23:56If you have never done this before, it really feels quite strange. We
0:23:56 > 0:24:01doing 115 kph on the motorway, I am not touching anything. My colleague
0:24:01 > 0:24:05has a safety set of in case things go wrong, but the car is striving
0:24:05 > 0:24:10itself. Now I will do something I have never done before, and I don't
0:24:10 > 0:24:16think many people have. We are doing 103 kph on the motorway, and I will
0:24:16 > 0:24:24put a virtual reality headset on. Here we go.
0:24:24 > 0:24:30At the moment I know I'm driving along a motorway, but because I have
0:24:30 > 0:24:35the virtual reality headset on, I am flying over a valley. I can see
0:24:35 > 0:24:44lakes beneath me, birds around me, a large lunar landscape in front. It
0:24:44 > 0:24:47is a completely different world. What Renault are trying to do is
0:24:47 > 0:24:52envisage a world in which you are doing a long journey, you don't need
0:24:52 > 0:24:58to drive the car, so you can turn your mind to other things. Relax,
0:24:58 > 0:25:00sit back and enjoy the show.
0:25:11 > 0:25:16That report is worth a couple of watches, you can find it on the BBC
0:25:16 > 0:25:20News app BBC News website. It reminds of the story we began
0:25:20 > 0:25:23this edition of Outside Source with, and absolutely extraordinary attack
0:25:23 > 0:25:28from Donald Trump on the man who was his chief strategist in the White
0:25:28 > 0:25:32House until a few months back, the man who ran his campaign to be
0:25:32 > 0:25:36president in the last few months of the campaign. Look what he has put
0:25:36 > 0:25:40out. The context of this is Steve Bannon has given quotes to a new
0:25:40 > 0:25:43book on Mr Trump in which he describes a meeting between Jared
0:25:43 > 0:25:48Kushner and others and the Russians as treasonous. The president says
0:25:48 > 0:25:53when he was fired, Steve not only lost his job, he lost his mind. To
0:25:53 > 0:25:57be honest, the whole statement is worth reading. You can find it
0:25:57 > 0:26:07online now. I will see you in a couple of minutes.
0:26:07 > 0:26:09online now. I will see you in a couple of minutes.
0:26:10 > 0:26:14It is that time of night where we get you across the big global
0:26:14 > 0:26:18weather stories. I want to take you to North America, where it has been
0:26:18 > 0:26:22bitterly cold of late. Another exceptionally cold night to come to
0:26:22 > 0:26:27them. Look at these blue colours spreading to the Gulf Coast, Dallas
0:26:27 > 0:26:32is -4, but further north in Minneapolis, lows of -23 degrees
0:26:32 > 0:26:37overnight. We have very cold air in place, now we are developing an area
0:26:37 > 0:26:43of low pressure. In north easterly storm which will run up close to the
0:26:43 > 0:26:48eastern seaboard, bringing rain, sleet, freezing rain, lots of ice,
0:26:48 > 0:26:53and significant snow, especially across New England, heading into
0:26:53 > 0:26:58Thursday. On the back of the weather system it will turn even colder.
0:26:58 > 0:27:00Temperatures here are maximum temperatures for Friday and
0:27:00 > 0:27:05Saturday. If you are planning a break in New York or Boston you will
0:27:05 > 0:27:12need to wrap up, -10 to maybe minus 15. And those are the daytime highs.
0:27:12 > 0:27:22To South America, these pictures come from Bolivia where over recent
0:27:22 > 0:27:25days and weeks we have seen relentless rainfall. This is the
0:27:25 > 0:27:27effect, lots of flooding has caused the major issues. More rain to come
0:27:27 > 0:27:29across Bolivia, then stretch into central and southern Brazil as well
0:27:29 > 0:27:33during Thursday. More intense downpours and thunderstorms, more
0:27:33 > 0:27:37flash flooding looks likely. Meanwhile a tropical cyclone,
0:27:37 > 0:27:42tropical cyclone Ava is ploughing towards the north east of
0:27:42 > 0:27:48Madagascar, very strong, damaging winds and torrential rain, expect to
0:27:48 > 0:27:53hear stories of disruption from this part of the world. Some stormy
0:27:53 > 0:27:55weather in New Zealand, this cloud hurtling southwards is a developing
0:27:55 > 0:28:01area of low pressure. It is of course in New Zealand, but of people
0:28:01 > 0:28:04enjoying outdoor activities, camping, people have been told
0:28:04 > 0:28:08across parts of the North Island to move to higher ground because lots
0:28:08 > 0:28:13of rain will pile with strong brains in rough seas, that could cause big
0:28:13 > 0:28:18issues with flooding. The disruptive weather at home has come courtesy of
0:28:18 > 0:28:21Storm Eleanor. The area of low pressure responsible is drifting
0:28:21 > 0:28:26across northern Europe and starting to weaken. It will bring strong
0:28:26 > 0:28:30gusty winds across the Baltic states with stronger steep rate. Piling
0:28:30 > 0:28:34southwards across France where we will be seeing significant snowfall,
0:28:34 > 0:28:38lots of snow piling up over the next few days. With temperatures that are
0:28:38 > 0:28:45specially low there is the ongoing risk of avalanches. For taking to
0:28:45 > 0:28:49Cyprus, a series of gusty winds. Back home, rain slides northwards
0:28:49 > 0:28:55tomorrow. To the north of that, cold air showing at hand. How far south
0:28:55 > 0:29:02will buy get? Find out in half an hour. -- cold air showing its hand.
0:29:02 > 0:29:04How far south will that get?
0:30:09 > 0:30:12Hello, I'm Ros Atkins, this is Outside Source,
0:30:12 > 0:30:18and these are the main stories here in the BBC Newsroom.
0:30:18 > 0:30:20President Trump has accused Steve Bannon of losing his mind.
0:30:20 > 0:30:22This after his former chief strategist reportedly accused
0:30:22 > 0:30:24Mr Trump's son and son-in-law of treasonous and
0:30:24 > 0:30:27unpatriotic behaviour.
0:30:27 > 0:30:29This phone looks like it's from another century,
0:30:29 > 0:30:33but it's a vital link between North and South Korea - and it's
0:30:33 > 0:30:40just received a call.
0:30:40 > 0:30:42The bionic hand with a sense of touch -
0:30:42 > 0:30:45we have an exclusive report on the woman who's been testing
0:30:45 > 0:30:46it out for scientists in the real world.
0:30:46 > 0:30:49And Iceland is the first country in the world to make it
0:30:49 > 0:30:59illegal for men to be paid more than women for doing the same job.
0:31:12 > 0:31:13@charlottejw "Great show - thank you!
0:31:13 > 0:31:18Keep up the good work.
0:31:18 > 0:31:19Mor Anthony Zurcher please!"
0:31:19 > 0:31:22Your wish is our command.
0:31:22 > 0:31:24Anthony's been looking ahead at the challenges
0:31:24 > 0:31:31Donald Trump's facing in January.
0:31:31 > 0:31:36That was before Donald Trump took to Twitter in a serious way in the last
0:31:36 > 0:31:3836 hours.
0:31:38 > 0:31:41You can read it online but let me take you through the key points.
0:31:41 > 0:31:43Congress has faced budget showdowns many times over the last
0:31:43 > 0:31:45few months and every time there have been temporary
0:31:45 > 0:31:46approvals to spending.
0:31:46 > 0:31:49Anthony, good to see you. Charlotte will be pleased. Tell us more about
0:31:49 > 0:31:57the budget issues.We have had several rounds now, where Congress
0:31:57 > 0:32:01has to pass a budget to fund the government the next fiscal year.
0:32:01 > 0:32:04They have essentially kicked the camp down the road. They were
0:32:04 > 0:32:07supposed to be the end of September, then the beginning of December then
0:32:07 > 0:32:12the middle of December. Now a new deadline, 19th of January, and they
0:32:12 > 0:32:15have to pass a budget before this deadline of the want to keep the
0:32:15 > 0:32:19government from avoiding a shutdown. They are making progress here, but
0:32:19 > 0:32:25budget is coming up with all sorts of different priorities, defence
0:32:25 > 0:32:28spending, whether to cut social spending, what to do about Donald
0:32:28 > 0:32:32Trump's wall. They will have a tough time coming up with a solution in
0:32:32 > 0:32:35the next two weeks but that is the goal they have in front of them.
0:32:35 > 0:32:38They have to find some way Ofcom promotion with Democrats to get
0:32:38 > 0:32:42something Pastoor extending and coming up with another deadline.I
0:32:42 > 0:32:47feel like I have covered the story a fair few times over the years,
0:32:47 > 0:32:57almost like a Washington tradition. They tend to get it done eventually.
0:32:57 > 0:33:03It would be pretty remarkable if it didn't. We have seen a few shutdowns
0:33:03 > 0:33:07in the past, some during the Obama years, some significant lengthy ones
0:33:07 > 0:33:12during the Clinton years. But no one will want that sort of resolution
0:33:12 > 0:33:16because the public tends to get angry when the government is
0:33:16 > 0:33:20particularly dysfunctional. The question, though, is whether they
0:33:20 > 0:33:24can wrap these issues with some of the other policy priorities and if
0:33:24 > 0:33:28can get defence spending, raise the caps, they can avoid these big caps.
0:33:28 > 0:33:31Last year there was a lot of talk about Donald Trump is like budget
0:33:31 > 0:33:34and big budget cuts coming from all of that has been much disappeared.
0:33:34 > 0:33:39We are working on a framework about how much to increase spending.A
0:33:39 > 0:33:46story we covered a lot in September, when Donald Trump tried to end and
0:33:46 > 0:33:57Obama-era programme called Dakar, it temporarily clinical
0:33:57 > 0:33:58Last September Mr
0:33:58 > 0:34:00Trump sought to end an Obama-era
0:34:00 > 0:34:02programme called DACA - it temporarily approved immigration
0:34:02 > 0:34:03for hundreds of thousands of undocumented immigrants
0:34:03 > 0:34:05who were brought to the US as children.
0:34:05 > 0:34:07No legislation has been passed though and pressure is building.
0:34:08 > 0:34:09Mr Trump tweeted yesterday.
0:34:09 > 0:34:10Democrats are doing nothing for DACA -
0:34:10 > 0:34:11just interested in politics.
0:34:11 > 0:34:13DACA activists and Hispanics will go hard against Dems,
0:34:13 > 0:34:15will start "falling in love" with Republicans
0:34:15 > 0:34:16and their President!
0:34:16 > 0:34:17We are about RESULTS.
0:34:17 > 0:34:20I don't accept that anyone is not interested in politics, everyone is.
0:34:20 > 0:34:23Why is the president not able to get this through?I think the
0:34:23 > 0:34:25President's tweet is a reflection of the fact there will be a significant
0:34:25 > 0:34:30amount of anger among Hispanics that 100 new people a day are getting
0:34:30 > 0:34:33pushed back into the economic shadows because there were no longer
0:34:33 > 0:34:38be covered by these DACA protections. They will not be of to
0:34:38 > 0:34:40attend public universities, get loans from banks, hold regular
0:34:40 > 0:34:46American jobs. They will be back into the margins of society, and by
0:34:46 > 0:34:50the time March rolls around, six months after the President's initial
0:34:50 > 0:34:54decision, there will be tens of thousands of people who are now no
0:34:54 > 0:35:02longer covered by their protections. The Democrats, they say they are not
0:35:02 > 0:35:14pushing enough for some customers. A small children grow up here, not
0:35:14 > 0:35:17know any other country than the US and then get forced out of the
0:35:17 > 0:35:22country, it is pretty difficult to swallow. The thing is there are some
0:35:22 > 0:35:25Republicans and the president who want to lump this in with bigger
0:35:25 > 0:35:31immigration issues, like holding that Mexican wall and reforming
0:35:31 > 0:35:35immigration laws to prioritise skilled immigrants. If they need to
0:35:35 > 0:35:39find some sort of ground to come from eyes on, otherwise this could
0:35:39 > 0:35:42end up not getting past because both sides are standing by their
0:35:42 > 0:35:52positions.We talked about DACA. Now quickly Iran. The President's
0:35:52 > 0:35:56decertified the terms of the nuclear deal, saying that Iran was not
0:35:56 > 0:35:59staying within the strict limits of its nuclear programme. The president
0:35:59 > 0:36:04offered no evidence of that but it set up a process that allowed the US
0:36:04 > 0:36:09Congress to quickly reimpose sanctions on Iran, but chose not to.
0:36:09 > 0:36:16Interestingly, in over a week, Mr Trump has to decide whether to
0:36:16 > 0:36:22sanction it again. The treaty has been sending about the deal, again
0:36:22 > 0:36:27reiterated how much he dislikes it. Exactly. There were as a whole lot
0:36:27 > 0:36:30of fanfare, as you remember, three months ago when he made this
0:36:30 > 0:36:35original decision not to certify a run's compliance. We thought
0:36:35 > 0:36:38Congress might act, but nothing happened. Here we are where the
0:36:38 > 0:36:41president has to make this determination again. I don't think
0:36:41 > 0:36:45there will be as much as much as, over whether there will be whether
0:36:45 > 0:36:49he does or does not decertified. There could be things he will do
0:36:49 > 0:36:53beyond that, and he hinted at it three months ago when he said he
0:36:53 > 0:36:55could take unilateral action if Congress doesn't do anything. He
0:36:55 > 0:37:01could end up not giving a waiver that suspends existing sanctions on
0:37:01 > 0:37:06Iran, essentially reimposing those sanctions. In the context of all of
0:37:06 > 0:37:10this, we have these ongoing protests in Iran, the administration says
0:37:10 > 0:37:30they are watching closely, speaking out in support of the Iranian cause.
0:37:30 > 0:37:35Arguably the most important, the work of this man, Robert Muller. He
0:37:35 > 0:37:39is leading an investigation into those alleged ties between the Trump
0:37:39 > 0:37:42campaign and Russia. We have an update on that, in the last few
0:37:42 > 0:37:48minutes this copy has come into the newsroom, telling us that Mr Trump's
0:37:48 > 0:37:55campaign manager Paul Manafort has sued Robert Muller, saying it
0:37:55 > 0:38:01exceeded his legal authority. Tell us more, that sounds significant.As
0:38:01 > 0:38:05you remember, Paul Manafort has been indicted for money laundering and
0:38:05 > 0:38:09corruption charges dating back to when he was before Donald Trump was
0:38:09 > 0:38:14my campaign manager to his lobbying activities on the part of Ukrainian
0:38:14 > 0:38:17government officials. Here he is now attempting to challenge that
0:38:17 > 0:38:22indictment, saying Robert Muller had overstepped his bounds. Saying he
0:38:22 > 0:38:26should surely be focusing on this Russia collusion investigation. It
0:38:26 > 0:38:32echoes a lot of what the White House is saying, that independent
0:38:32 > 0:38:36investigation is running wild. Here we have a legal challenge authority.
0:38:36 > 0:38:40I don't think many people believe Manafort will be successful in this
0:38:40 > 0:38:45challenge but it does play into the larger criticisms of Robert Muller.
0:38:45 > 0:38:49We have not heard a lot from him recently, since the Flynn plea deal
0:38:49 > 0:38:54came down in mid-December. But that is still hanging over the
0:38:54 > 0:38:59administration, and it is a ticking bomb that could go for might not go.
0:38:59 > 0:39:03We heard from Steve Bannon, except in this book earlier today that have
0:39:03 > 0:39:06been released, and Steve Bannon himself things that Robert Muller is
0:39:06 > 0:39:10onto something, that he is looking into money-laundering through people
0:39:10 > 0:39:14like Paul Manafort and Jared Kushner and Donald Trump Junior, and a few
0:39:14 > 0:39:18follows the money it could be a serious challenge to Donald Trump.
0:39:18 > 0:39:21That kind of undercut statements Trish and's position as well, but
0:39:21 > 0:39:27this is one of those things where we can wake up and find that there is
0:39:27 > 0:39:29some huge breaking news from the investigation that there is no
0:39:29 > 0:39:35indication of until we find out about it in the headlines.Thank you
0:39:35 > 0:39:40for your help, we will talk to you tomorrow, one of the ever presence
0:39:40 > 0:39:50on Outside Source, live at us from Washington, DC.
0:39:50 > 0:39:55Don't forget you can get much more detail on our top stories
0:39:55 > 0:40:04on our website.
0:40:04 > 0:40:06Huge surprise in Ethiopia today -
0:40:06 > 0:40:16the government is going to free all its political prisoners.
0:40:16 > 0:40:17And in Addis Abbaba, the notorious MALEEKEE
0:40:17 > 0:40:26detention centre will shut.
0:40:26 > 0:40:29Numerous abuses have been detailed there.
0:40:29 > 0:40:31For example, back in 2013, Human Rights Watch published
0:40:31 > 0:40:33multiple accounts of torture and ill-treatment -
0:40:33 > 0:40:39though the government denied them.
0:40:39 > 0:40:41Today the Prime Minister said this move is "to foster
0:40:41 > 0:40:45national reconciliation".
0:40:45 > 0:40:47Certainly haven't been doing that during the crackdown on political
0:40:47 > 0:40:57opposition that's been going on for the last two years.
0:40:57 > 0:41:01It took a dim view of anti-government protests
0:41:01 > 0:41:02like this one back in September.
0:41:02 > 0:41:04There have been thousands of arrests - and anti-terrorism laws
0:41:05 > 0:41:11were used to jail critics.
0:41:11 > 0:41:12That's why they're happy with today's news,
0:41:12 > 0:41:14this from Amnesty International.
0:41:14 > 0:41:17"Could this be the dawn of a new human rights era
0:41:17 > 0:41:19in one of the world's most repressive countries?".
0:41:19 > 0:41:26Here's the BBC's Emmanuel Igunza.
0:41:26 > 0:41:29It is not clear just how many people are in jail due to this terrorism
0:41:29 > 0:41:35are for being very against the government. So it is not quite clear
0:41:35 > 0:41:40at the moment the numbers involved here but it is quite a big statement
0:41:40 > 0:41:44coming off the back of this huge protest we have seen over the past
0:41:44 > 0:41:48two years, and also just over the last couple of weeks, we have seen
0:41:48 > 0:41:54them spread the universities and the government now saying, look, we
0:41:54 > 0:41:59would free some of these politicians and some of those who have been
0:41:59 > 0:42:04detained over the state of emergency last year so that they can have this
0:42:04 > 0:42:06process of national dialogue that the Prime Minister says was very
0:42:06 > 0:42:14important in moving the country forward.
0:42:14 > 0:42:16A facility in Baltimore, Maryland they are trying to trace
0:42:16 > 0:42:18what leads to neurological disorders like PTSD and depression.
0:42:18 > 0:42:21Over 2,200 brains have been donated to the Lieber Institute -
0:42:21 > 0:42:23it's the largest brain bank in the world.
0:42:23 > 0:42:33Jane O'Brien has more.
0:42:33 > 0:42:39Can kill Steen remembers the happy times, before his wife of 40 years
0:42:39 > 0:42:43succumbed to mental illness.This was a picture of our first dance
0:42:43 > 0:42:46together as husband-and-wife.Here still trying to make sense of the
0:42:46 > 0:42:51personality changes that lead to Paula's suicide just a few months
0:42:51 > 0:42:55ago. He hopes to dating her brain to research will help scientists find
0:42:55 > 0:42:59the answers.There are so much that needs to be known about people who
0:42:59 > 0:43:03have psychiatric illnesses and what is going on with the brain. Research
0:43:03 > 0:43:08is the only waif. I am hoping that hopefully they can find some
0:43:08 > 0:43:10information that will prevent something like this happening so
0:43:10 > 0:43:13that people don't have to go through what we went through and what we are
0:43:13 > 0:43:19currently going through.This is where Paula's brain is being
0:43:19 > 0:43:24studied. The world's largest brain bank, dedicated to finding
0:43:24 > 0:43:27biological causes of mental illnesses, such as schizophrenia,
0:43:27 > 0:43:32depression and post-traumatic stress disorder.We understand these are
0:43:32 > 0:43:36illnesses that have a physical, chemical, molecular structural
0:43:36 > 0:43:41basis. I think we take it away from being either a lack of character, a
0:43:41 > 0:43:45defect in the will, and understand that this is a defect in function of
0:43:45 > 0:43:53the brain.It all starts with the brain itself. Almost all come from
0:43:53 > 0:44:00people who have died unexpectedly. Many victims of the opioid academic.
0:44:00 > 0:44:03Scientists look for signs of disease and other abnormalities and compare
0:44:03 > 0:44:08them to the person's mental health history. And they are starting to
0:44:08 > 0:44:14isolate genes that put people at a higher risk. The man who started
0:44:14 > 0:44:18this vast collection of brains hopes the research will lead to better
0:44:18 > 0:44:23treatments, based on the genetic causes of mental illness.The genes
0:44:23 > 0:44:29for behaviour disorders are not genes that guarantee you a disorder.
0:44:29 > 0:44:33They are not what we call fate genes, they are risk genes, like
0:44:33 > 0:44:36genes for heart attack or stroke, there is no gene that causes a heart
0:44:36 > 0:44:44attack.Finding new treatments is becoming increasingly more urgent.
0:44:44 > 0:44:48More veterans died from suicide fan in,, but PTSD affects far more
0:44:48 > 0:44:54civilians. One in four of us will suffer some form of mental disorder
0:44:54 > 0:44:59in our lifetimes. Ken's family could not be spared the tragedy of mental
0:44:59 > 0:45:02illness, but he hopes others might benefit from the death of Paul.It
0:45:02 > 0:45:07is a great picture. One of the things we try to do at her funeral
0:45:07 > 0:45:11will truly celebrate her life. On some level one of the things I'm
0:45:11 > 0:45:14salivating about her life is that she is doing something now for
0:45:14 > 0:45:18science and other people in the future and I feel and make it feel
0:45:18 > 0:45:22very, very positive about that.
0:45:22 > 0:45:29Just a few minutes ago, Konstantinos in London said as this tweet. He
0:45:29 > 0:45:33says can you focus on ecological issues, including ways to reduce the
0:45:33 > 0:45:39use of plastic. That is almost as if we planned this.
0:45:39 > 0:45:42I want to play you a report now by Sanjoy Majumder
0:45:42 > 0:45:44on the problem of plastics and the impact they're
0:45:44 > 0:45:45having on our planet.
0:45:45 > 0:45:47According to a recent study - 95% of plastic pollution
0:45:47 > 0:45:50in the world's oceans comes from just ten rivers.
0:45:50 > 0:45:55One of them is the Ganges in India.
0:45:55 > 0:46:04Sanjoy has been to see it in the holy city of Varanasi.
0:46:05 > 0:46:12This looks like a train carrying sewage, but it is actually a
0:46:12 > 0:46:16tributary of the Ganges. The waste along its banks choking and
0:46:16 > 0:46:20contaminating one of the world's greatest rivers. Every day, rappers,
0:46:20 > 0:46:25bottles, cups and other plastic waste is deposited here, slowly
0:46:25 > 0:46:30sliding into the water, and then eventually flowing into the Ganges.
0:46:30 > 0:46:33For centuries, some of India's greatest cities have been built
0:46:33 > 0:46:40along its banks. This is one of them. It is only when you come to
0:46:40 > 0:46:44the ancient city of Farah Nasser the hurley realise how this mighty river
0:46:44 > 0:46:48so central to the Hindu faith that sustains the lives and beliefs as
0:46:48 > 0:46:53nearly half a billion people is as polluted as it is. The Ganges is
0:46:53 > 0:46:57more than a river to Indians, it is sacred to Hindus who pray and
0:46:57 > 0:47:01worship along its banks and cremate their dead in it. From the time it
0:47:01 > 0:47:05flows out of the icy heights of the Himalayas until it gets here, it's
0:47:05 > 0:47:11crystal clear waters give way to a fetid, muddy flow, contaminated by
0:47:11 > 0:47:16the millions that live along its banks. Five generations of this
0:47:16 > 0:47:20family have lived along the Ganges in Farah Nasser, living witnesses to
0:47:20 > 0:47:27its gradual degradation. TRANSLATION:There is a saying that
0:47:27 > 0:47:31the Ganges along to everyone, you are free to through whatever you
0:47:31 > 0:47:35want, cremate dead bodies, Dave, wash, and you will achieve
0:47:35 > 0:47:40salvation. But we are being irresponsible, we do not have the
0:47:40 > 0:47:45right to pollute the Ganges this way.Three years ago the Indian
0:47:45 > 0:47:49government pledged $3 billion to clean up the Ganges, but much of the
0:47:49 > 0:47:53money remains unspent and the focus in any case is on treating sewage
0:47:53 > 0:47:56and industrial effluents, so the only people trying to prevent
0:47:56 > 0:48:07plastic waves Dunn -- plastic waste being dumped by these rubbish
0:48:07 > 0:48:11sectors. TRANSLATION:We have to segregate the plastic.It is
0:48:11 > 0:48:15estimated every year £1.2 billion of plastic waste is dumped into the
0:48:15 > 0:48:20Ganges, much of it carried into the Bay of Bengal, where the river
0:48:20 > 0:48:27eventually empties out.
0:48:27 > 0:48:30On every edition of Outside Source will try to bring you the biggest
0:48:30 > 0:48:34global stories, we have heard from Ethiopia, Iceland, Italy, France,
0:48:34 > 0:48:41Ethiopia and India. Next on the programme, we are turning to Turkey.
0:48:41 > 0:48:44Its religious authority has issued a ruling that
0:48:44 > 0:48:47according to Islamic law, girls as young as nine can marry.
0:48:47 > 0:48:52You can imagine how that's gone down.
0:48:52 > 0:48:55This tweet, Children should play at the parks not be a bride
0:48:55 > 0:48:57at an early age #DiyanetKapatilsin.
0:48:57 > 0:49:00This hashtag means 'Religious State Body should be closed down'.
0:49:00 > 0:49:02As well as this, the main opposition party wants
0:49:02 > 0:49:04a parliamentary inquiry.
0:49:04 > 0:49:12The context here is that Turkey has a high rate of child marriage.
0:49:12 > 0:49:17Official figures say 15% of girls married
0:49:17 > 0:49:19under the age of 18.
0:49:19 > 0:49:22That figure may actually be higher as some marriages in rural
0:49:22 > 0:49:23areas are not registered.
0:49:23 > 0:49:26The law on this in Turkey is a 17 year old can marry -
0:49:26 > 0:49:28but only with their parents' consent.
0:49:28 > 0:49:33Below 17 is illegal.
0:49:33 > 0:49:35Evidently, that's not put off the religious authority.
0:49:35 > 0:49:45Here's Cagil Kasapoglu from BBC Turkish.
0:49:45 > 0:49:49Turkey's state religious body has said any child who has reached
0:49:49 > 0:49:54puberty can get married, and girls can conceive a baby. And when they
0:49:54 > 0:50:00talk about puberty, they give the age as nine for the girls and 12 for
0:50:00 > 0:50:05the boys. So this has sparked huge controversy, particularly on social
0:50:05 > 0:50:09media, saying that they are acquitting child abusers especially,
0:50:09 > 0:50:16and they are encouraging underage marriages. So on social media again
0:50:16 > 0:50:18society has been divided, one side saying the state body should be
0:50:18 > 0:50:23closed down, and on the other hand they are in support of the body,
0:50:23 > 0:50:29saying they are shaping a proper, moral society. But after this
0:50:29 > 0:50:32controversy, the state religious body has issued another statement,
0:50:32 > 0:50:37saying they have been misunderstood, and that they are against early age
0:50:37 > 0:50:40marriages but again this has received criticism, because what
0:50:40 > 0:50:46defines early? So what they say is they are stating Islamic laws.
0:50:46 > 0:50:53Again, you have to remember this is not legally binding. But this body
0:50:53 > 0:50:59helps to shape a society. Also, one of the opposition MPs has called for
0:50:59 > 0:51:04a Parliamentary investigation for the statement the religious body has
0:51:04 > 0:51:07made.
0:51:07 > 0:51:13Now a remarkable report from Fergus Walsh.
0:51:13 > 0:51:15This is a bionic hand - and extraordinary thing
0:51:15 > 0:51:18about it is that the person wearing it can feel what they're touching.
0:51:18 > 0:51:21In an exclusive report, the BBC's Medical Correspondent Fergus Walsh
0:51:21 > 0:51:31has been to Rome to meet the woman who's been using it.
0:52:04 > 0:52:06A bionic hand, with a sense of touch.
0:52:06 > 0:52:07And here is the proof.
0:52:07 > 0:52:08Blindfolded, Almarina Mascarello knows whether what she's
0:52:09 > 0:52:10holding is soft or hard.
0:52:10 > 0:52:11She gets it right every time.
0:52:11 > 0:52:14Over lunch she told me that nearly 25 years after losing her hand
0:52:14 > 0:52:17in a factory accident, it is almost like it is back again.
0:52:17 > 0:52:18TRANSLATION:
0:52:18 > 0:52:21The feeling is spontaneous, as if it were your real hand.
0:52:21 > 0:52:23You are finally able to do things that before or difficult.
0:52:23 > 0:52:25Like getting dressed, putting on shoes.
0:52:25 > 0:52:26All mundane but important things.
0:52:26 > 0:52:27You feel complete.
0:52:27 > 0:52:30The world's first feeling bionic hand, given to this Danish man,
0:52:30 > 0:52:31never left the lab.
0:52:31 > 0:52:32The technology was just too bulky.
0:52:32 > 0:52:34Now, nearly four years on, it is portable.
0:52:34 > 0:52:37Allowing Almarina to go back to her hobby of car mechanics.
0:52:37 > 0:52:39All the electronics are in her rucksack.
0:52:39 > 0:52:44Here's how it works.
0:52:44 > 0:52:49Sensors in the fingertips are linked to a computer.
0:52:49 > 0:52:52This converts the signals into a language the brain will understand.
0:52:52 > 0:52:57The information is relayed to it via tiny electrodes implanted
0:52:57 > 0:52:59in nerves in Almarina's upper arm.
0:52:59 > 0:53:01This represents a significant advance in neuro prosthetics,
0:53:01 > 0:53:03the interface between machine and the human body.
0:53:03 > 0:53:06The next patient won't need to have a rucksack to carry these
0:53:06 > 0:53:07electronics, because they're going to be miniaturised
0:53:07 > 0:53:17and implanted under the skin.
0:53:17 > 0:53:21And the team here are hoping to do the same with a bionic leg,
0:53:21 > 0:53:28which will have pressure sensors in the foot.
0:53:28 > 0:53:32Engineers, computer scientists and surgeons from several countries
0:53:32 > 0:53:34are involved in this EU funded research.
0:53:34 > 0:53:36A truly humanlike bionic hand is still decades away.
0:53:36 > 0:53:45But the team here think it will happen.
0:53:45 > 0:53:48We feel we are going more and more in the direction of science fiction
0:53:49 > 0:53:51like movies like Star Wars.
0:53:51 > 0:53:56With Luke Skywalker, after the amputation of the hand.
0:53:56 > 0:54:06So fully controlled, fully natural, fully sensorised
0:54:06 > 0:54:12prosthesis very similar, identical to the human hand.
0:54:12 > 0:54:15Since we filmed with Almarina, she has had to give back her bionic
0:54:15 > 0:54:17hand because it is still in the research stage.
0:54:17 > 0:54:20But she says when it is commercialised in a few years,
0:54:20 > 0:54:22she wants the feeling bionic hand back for good.
0:54:22 > 0:54:25Fergus Walsh, BBC News, Rome.
0:54:25 > 0:54:30You can get more details on Fergus's story on that bionic hand on the BBC
0:54:30 > 0:54:34news website. A quick reminder of where we started the programme, an
0:54:34 > 0:54:37extraordinary attack by Donald Trump on his former chief strategist,
0:54:37 > 0:54:41someone he had called a friend as well. He says when Steve Bannon was
0:54:41 > 0:54:47fired by her maiden just loses job, he lost his mind. In fact, an
0:54:47 > 0:54:53extraordinary attack on a man who worked very hard to get Donald Trump
0:54:53 > 0:54:57into the White House. More on that tomorrow no doubt, thanks for
0:54:57 > 0:55:04watching, I will see you then
