15/01/2018 Outside Source

Hello, welcome to Outside Source. We

are going to report from a well's

biggest refugee camp in Bangladesh,

home to more than 570 Rohingya

Muslims, and there is a deadly

threat of disease.

Donald Trump has been denying he is

a racist after the row broke out

over his reported use of offensive

language to describe African

nations.

The Venezuelan authorities have

tracked down a helicopter pilot who

threw grenades at the Supreme Court

last year. We'll have the details of

an ensuing Siew Shalit.

And a tribute to Dolores O'Riordan

of The Cranberries who has died

suddenly at the age of 46. -- and

insulin shoot out.

Welcome to Outside Source. All of

the most important information on

all the stories for you. We are

going to begin by talking about the

well's biggest refugee camp. It is

in Bangladesh and it is home to more

than 570 Rohingya Muslims. Until

last year the people who lived here,

most of them called Myanmar Holm but

after violence against them began in

August, many crossed the border into

Bangladesh. And there are any number

of urgent issues in the camp.

Diphtheria is one of them. That is

why you will see lots of people

wearing masks like this. It is an

infectious disease spread by

coughing or sneezing. We know

already 30 children have lost their

lives, and there are around 4000

cases of it in total. There is an

urgent need for all rushing her

children to be vaccinated and we

know this to be near half a million.

This boy is category red, he has a

serious diphtheria infection. It is

the doctor was my job to try to stop

the outbreak spreading. He runs a

team of outreach workers. One

diphtheria case comes in, the work

begins. They trekked through this

giant refugee camp, now the biggest

in the world, trying to find people

who might have been exposed to the

disease. The average workers can see

up to ten cases every day. Which can

mean a lot of walking! So, the

challenge for this team is the harm

done infection and stamp it out. --

to hunt down. The hunt begins. At

Yasin's home. Close contact can be

dangerous, even if you have had the

vaccination. Some members of the

medical team have been infected.

They explain how dangerous

diphtheria can be, and give everyone

in the family antibiotics. That. The

disease developing. Anyone who has

been in close contact with a patient

for more than an hour needs to be

treated. How dangerous is it for us

sitting outside here?

It is not much

dangerous for us because we are

vaccinated. But it is dangerous for

the Rohingya who were not previously

vaccinated.

Are you getting this

under control?

We hope we can get it

under control with vaccination and

medicines.

The signs are that this

disease, long forgotten in countries

where vaccination is commonplace, is

now being brought under control. But

the hunt continues. More than

800,000 people are packed together

in these vast refugee camps, so the

team cannot take any chances.

Another element of this crisis

concerns the children who are being

born in these refugee camps. Unicef

has estimated around 25,000 children

will be born this year, the issue is

their status. Myanmar will not

recognise them as citizens as they

were not born there. In Bangladesh

there are not being properly

registered. That means the may not

be able to access basic government

services. As well as that, there is

the issue of families actually going

home to Myanmar. Wear it -- we know

there have been talks between

Bangladesh and Myanmar and there is

a platter repatriated 100,000 people

later this month. But the UN says it

will only support that plan if it

can monitor it and the conditions of

that happening have not been agreed.

Then there is the issue of whether

people want to go back at all. Here

is one UN official on that.

They are

worried about returns to Myanmar.

The refugees tell us they will

consider a return, if they get legal

documents, if they become citizens

of Myanmar. If where they go to

return is safe and secure and if

where they go to return, they can

get their rights and access. At

UNHCR, our position has always been

that it has to be done voluntarily.

Safety, security and with dignity.

For more background on this, you can

find it online from BBC News.

Not for the first time, Donald Trump

has had to fend off this accusation.

I am not a racist.

So, there is the President saying he

did not make those comments. That

follows three days of upset over

what he allegedly said about

immigrants from Haiti and Africa. Mr

Trump denies using the offensive

phrase during a meeting with

Senators in the Oval Office on

Thursday, but people who were there

disagree. This is the Democratic set

of the -- Senator Dick Durbin.

I

cannot believe that in the history

of the White House and the Oval

Office, any President who has ever

spoken the words that I personally

heard our President speak yesterday.

Basta, Donald Trump has tweeted a

response to those comments.

Acquah being a programme that

allowed who came into America

illegally with the parents to remain

in the US. -- DACA being. Last week,

a judge blocked President Trump's

scrapping of that scheme. The

President's alleged offence of

commons were made after lawmakers

from both parties visited him on

that Thursday. There were supposed

to be working on a bipartisan

immigration deal. Some Republican

senators say they did not hear the

phrase. Astonishingly, people heard

that meeting is likely splitting

down party lines. Either way, has

been considerable dramatic followed.

-- diplomatic fallout.

South Africa and Botswana has

summoned diplomas to protest that

what was said. The Haitian

ambassador has had this to say.

Well, Donald Trump has not got a

habit of saying sorry. There is no

sign he is going to do that on this

one.

There have been quite a few reports

this weekend that actually the

President felt those comments had

been a success for him politically,

that they had gone down well with

his base. There have been reports he

was calling some Conservative

leaders on Thursday evening and

Friday to say, how did that go down?

I said the kind of things that

people are feeling, but do not like

to say. I think the President does

feel he was elected to tell it like

it is, as he has always put it, and

reflect the kind of things that

people feel they cannot say perhaps

out of political correctness, and

that he is some kind of a truth

teller. But there has also been a

huge to kick back in this country

and around the world, because of

those comments that were made in

that meeting. Particularly because

today is Martin Luther King Day in

the US, the day that Americans

celebrate the birth of Martin Luther

King, and a day they think about the

civil rights movement and about race

more generally, and those comments

raised the issue of racism and

whether the President is a racist

himself. He denies it, but the fact

that question is asked is fairly

astonishing anyway.

What is also

remarkable is how solid the

Republican senators and ComRes men

and women are behind the President.

I remember us talking us -- talking

about this into 26 team when Paul

Ryan said Mr Tom used a racist

comment. They are not unaware of the

accusations but they stand by their

man.

This case, Paul Ryan said the

comments were unfortunate. But it

was actually a Republican Senator in

that meeting, Lindsay Graham from

South Carolina, who came out of that

meeting and confirmed those comments

to a fellow Republican, Tim Scott,

himself an African-American. So in a

way, the story was blown open in buy

to make Republicans who spoke to the

press about it. And it was Lindsay

Graham, the Republican, who in the

meeting itself reprimanded the

President and said that was not

consistent with American ideals.

We

have started in Bangladesh, then to

Washington, next to Venezuela.

You might remember this man from

last year, Oscar Perez, the rogue

helicopter pilot. He dropped

grenades on the Venezuelan Supreme

Court. This all happened at the

height of the street protests

against President Megdoud row. While

Oscar Perez had plenty to say about

the President, he became very one of

the latter fact and he kept up his

attacks on the government. --

President Maduro. In the last 20 or

hours, number of videos have been

posted, including this one, where we

see Perez with a bloody face telling

viewers he has been surrounded by

the authorities. Since those videos

were published, we are told two

police officers have been killed in

a gun battle that has taken place to

the west of the capital, Caracas. Mr

Perez's fate is not known. Here is

Katy Watson. This is the latest she

has heard.

Early on Monday morning, about a

dozen videos appeared on Oscar

Perez's Instagram account, some of

them showed his bloodied face, he

had obviously been injured, and he

said that he had come under attack.

You could see a small house he was

in, he was wearing body armour, you

could hear shots in the background.

He was saying he was willing to give

himself up, but he claimed the

varieties were saying they were

wanting to kill him rather than him

hanged himself in. There was also a

video that was allegedly his mother,

who was also calling for the

authorities to let him give himself

up. But after mid-morning there were

no more videos.

And what is this

Perez's game? What does he want

apart from President Maduro to go?

As you mentioned, last year he

became very famous by taking a

helicopter and throwing grenades on

government buildings. He says that

it is a crusade against a tyrannical

government. The government says he

is a terrorist. They talk about this

as being a terrorist cell. They have

used the word terrorist in talking

about the protests you saw last

year, people on the opposition they

have labelled as terrorists, but he

has always said he's doing it to

fight a tyrant called government.

Last summer, there was a huge amount

of attention on these street

protests. There are not happening to

the same degree now, does that mean

the unrest has dissipated?

The

unrest has dissipated, but the

problems are still very much there.

The country is full each -- facing

hyperinflation, food and medicine

shortages. The feeling is, what more

can the opposition do? They have

tried to go to elections, they feel

there have been fraudulent elections

and the government is winning those

elections. The local municipal

elections but like the two sides are

very far apart despite discussions

going on with the Dominican

Republic, there has been no

agreements, so the situation, the

problems still carry on in

Venezuela.

In a few minutes we will look at the

progress that has been made on North

Korea's participation in next

month's Winter Olympics. It looks

like it will involve a large

orchestra, and possibly North

Korea's top girl band as well.

The lead singer of The Cranberries,

Dolores O'Riordan, has died at the

age of 46.

The family have said they are

devastated at asked for privacy at

this time.

The Cranberries, one of

the biggest bands of the 1990s. And

part of that success, huge degree of

that success, was down to Dolores

O'Riordan's Celtic, lilting vocals,

along with that indie guitar style.

So many songs that sold tens of

millions of albums across the world.

Millions of fans. They took a break

until 2009, she recorded some solo

material. They can back together

again and had been touring and

recording again and stop very sad

news for fans of her and The

Cranberries and very sad news for

the music industry, a real loss. She

was a very talented

singer-songwriter who made a huge

impact in the 1990s and beyond.

We are live in the BBC Newsroom.

Bangladesh is now home to more than

570 Rohingya Muslims and there is a

threat of disease. This another

world's biggest refugee camp.

Some other news from elsewhere. The

Philippines' most active volcano has

begun erupting and sending out

streams of love. Thousands of people

have been evacuated after warnings

of hazardous and explosive activity

to come.

The interplay who mistakenly sent a

missile alert in Hawaii on Saturday

-- employee, has been temporarily

resigned to other duties. People in

Hawaii received text messages

warning of imminent attack.

And the French Football Association

has suspended this referee who ain't

a kick at a player. -- aimed. The

player fell to the fore. The referee

booked Carlos and sent off.

There is no stopping North Korea's

Olympic enthusiasm at the moment. It

will send this 140 piece orchestra

to the Winter Olympics in South

Korea next month. We were told that

at the first of three sets of talks

between the two countries, all to

discuss the North Korean delegation

to the Winter Olympics. As we

expected, they met here, the

so-called truce village, which sits

on the Dimona tries zone between the

countries. The talks very much

focused on the artistic side of

things. It is thought as well as the

orchestra, North Korea's top girl

group will be going. This is the

kind of thing you can look forward

to if they do make the trip to the

Olympics. There are ten members.

Rumours say they are hand-picked by

Kim Jong Un himself although we

cannot confirm that. It is not about

love or lust or heartache, they sing

songs about loyalty to the state.

One of the big tunes is, comfortable

we call him father, which is an ode

to the North Korean leader. -- one

of the big tunes is, We Call Him

Father. . And will be a lot of

attention on these two athletes

because they are the only two North

Korean athletes who qualified, two

skaters. There are plans to send a

North Korean cheerleading troupe.

More intriguing perhaps rumours that

could be a united women's ice hockey

team, and that athletes from North

and South will march together in the

opening ceremony. It is not confront

but if it were to happen it would be

symbolic and also potentially

significant of the country's longer

term relationship. But before we get

carried away, let me play you this

could of Sophie long with more

details.

Only yesterday, North Korea was

reporting that they were criticising

the South Korean President, for

crediting Donald Trump with helping

to open up this renewed inter-Korean

dialogue. And it said in a thinly

veiled threat that the coach and the

train that would carry the

delegation to South Korea is still

in Pyongyang at the moment. So an

indication of the diplomatic

tightrope that the South Korean

President and the South Korean

Government are walking. They want to

engage North Korea in genuine

dialogue and they say the aim of

that dialogue eventually is the same

as that of the United States and the

international community, to

demilitarise the Korean peninsula.

But that subject, very far from

these talks of the moment.

One of the biggest stories in the UK

today is the huge construction

company Carillion, which has been

placed into liquidation. This move

will threaten more than 40,000 jobs,

most of them in the UK, but also

Canada and the Middle East. The

company had revenues of $7 billion

last year as but they still have

problems. They issued three profit

warnings in the last six months. Our

business editor Simon Jack has this

report.

This bypass near Aberdeen

is Scotland's biggest construction

project with a price tag

of £750 million.

Here is another, around Lincoln,

the cost £100 million.

Just two contracts Carillion has

been awarded throughout

the UK, but it does a lot

more than buildings.

Through contracts to manage schools,

prisons and hospitals,

it touched the lives of millions.

Today the Government said

it would not support

the company with public money.

This is, however, the failure

of a private sector company

and it is the company's shareholders

and its lenders who will bear

the brunt of the losses.

Taxpayers should not and will not

bail out a private sector company

for private sector losses.

At their HQ in Wolverhampton,

nervous faces and tight lips.

Any comment to make?

It was a disaster, there

are thousands of subcontractors

who will not get paid.

Carillion's fuel cards are not

working this morning,

so staff are not being able to fill

up their vans.

The thing is collapsing around us.

The Government seem to have this

laissez faire attitude and they have

to take steps to assure people

of their futures.

Carillion is more than the UK's

second biggest construction firm.

It delivers 32,000

school meals a day.

It maintains NHS buildings

containing 11,500 hospital beds.

It provides services to 50 prisons.

It has recently been awarded

a contract to help build HS2.

It was that fact that prompted angry

exchanges today in the Commons.

So, where did it go wrong?

Big contracts like this one went

sour, profits optimistically banked,

had to be written off,

blowing a hole in its finances,

and with banks are unwilling to lend

any more money without government

support, its fate was sealed.

Carillion was a company that

until recently paid big salaries

to its bosses and big dividends

to its shareholders,

despite owing its bank and its own

pension scheme £1.5 billion.

The wisdom of awarding

public service contracts

to a private company will continue,

but today the urgent concern

is for those thousands of small

businesses who rely on the big boys

like Carillion for their payments,

so they can pay their own bills.

Carillion workers are being urged

to continue to go to work

while contracts are re-awarded.

But with tentacles in so many

areas of the economy,

unravelling this bankruptcy

could take many months.

Airbus has had a good stop the

production of the super jumbo unless

it gets more orders. More orders in

particular from the airline

Emirates. This is one of the

biggest, this is the world's biggest

thing, it's so big it requires

special facilities at airports.

Emirates is based in Dubai, it

bought 142 of these planes. But it

has cut back on those orders in

recent years. This is one aviation

expert looking at what can happen

next.

It seems like the visit to

China by the French trade mission

did not have any success last week.

So it is Emirates or no-one. It is

probably 20 years too late in terms

of the size. The Dreamliner is

flying long range. The high-density

double-decker A380 is sadly looking

like a thing of the past. It was a

major strategic decision taken 20 or

so years ago, and going made a great

call by this deciding not to go big

and beautiful, and Airbus went big

and beautiful, and it has gone

disastrously wrong for them.

Next to the Detroit motor show.

I was hearing that sales in the US

are down for the first time in a

number of years. What is the mood

like there?

Well, it is a mixed

mood. The sense I'm getting is that

they are hedging themselves on what

kind of vehicles they are going to

make. There is a big focus on

pick-up trucks, partly because of

the demand here in this country. It

is also very profitable. Car

companies making money on that kind

of thing more than any other. And

the reason why they want to make

that money is to invest in vehicles

like this one behind me. This is a

small electric vehicle. For many of

the commenters here, it is one of

the vehicles of the future.

Yesterday Ford have said they want

to almost double their investment in

electric cars. But the challenge for

making these kind of vehicles is

about making profits on them. So

far, they lose money every time they

make and sell an electric vehicle.

GM says that there will be able to

make money on electric vehicles by

2021. Other car-makers have so far

not put a date to it but they

definitely think they need to be in

that space for the future.

Do they

want more help in selling those

cores, do they want subsidies or

something like that to make electric

more affordable?

Well, yes, parsley,

one of the car analysts I spoke to

said that it is regulation from

different countries that is pushing

car-makers towards electric cars. It

is not so much the customers saying

that they won't electric cars. You

have had regulations in countries

like China, which is actually right

now the biggest electric market in

the world. Then in Europe, then

maybe the US.

Thank you very much.

That's it for the first half of

Outside Source. At the beginning of

the second half, we will turn to the

Americans and the big plans they

have for a new force along the

border between Turkey and Syria.

It is that time of evening when we

take a look at some interesting

weather currently happening around

the world. In North America, some

cold air, from the Arctic through

Central parts of Canada towards the

eastern states. This is going to be

bringing some further snowfall,

quite heavy around the Great Lakes.

Temperatures below average. But the

cold lunch will not be as long-lived

as the call we had just over a week

ago. Into the Caribbean, a lingering

weather front bringing heavy

downpours across coastal parts of

Honduras and Nicaragua. Meanwhile,

severe tropical storm Irma Brigitta

is quite a well-defined eye, showing

the wind speed picking up. It is

likely to become a tropicals. Likely

to pass close to Mauritius and

Reunion. Bringing with it damaging

rains and flooding. Elsewhere across

Africa, heavily downpours in

Mozambique, Malawi and southern

parts of the DRC. To the South of

that, dry weather. Meanwhile for

Europe, a cold North westerly flow

of air bringing a wintry feel to the

weather. Some heavy rain and heavy.

Across the Alps up towards Norway,

likely to increase the risk of

avalanches across Norway and across

the alpine region. Quieter further

South, Portugal and Spain. Across

Australia, was an ex-tropicals I own

that has now dissipated. Still heavy

showers. Also across northern parts

of Western Australia. Drier towards

the South East but pretty hot,

temperatures in Adelaide around 36

degrees by Wednesday. In the UK, a

windy and wintry outlook. Low

pressure moving in with a North

westerly flow of air. For Tuesday,

lots of wintry showers. Scotland,

Northern Ireland and northern

England, the showers falling as

snow. Further South, sleet and snow

confined to the highest hills. At

low levels, rain showers, hail and

it will feel cold and windy. In fact

the winds and the ice and is in

oak-wood caused disruption in the

middle part of the week. Overnight

into Wednesday, another cold night

with subzero temperatures for many.

Clear skies and plenty more wintry

showers. That makes of rain, sleet

and snow showers on Wednesday. Some

sunshine in between. But we could

see things Toni Colette story on

Wednesday night into Thursday. We

could see disruption due to the

strength of the winds. More details

on the weather for the week ahead

and about half an hour.

These are some of the main stories.

Several people have been killed in

an operation to capture a helicopter

pilot accused of leading an armed

rebellion in Venezuela last year.

Donald Trump is denying he is a

racist after that row broke out over

reported use of offensive language

to describe African nations. This

was the terrifying moment a floor in

a main Stock Exchange in Indonesia

collapsed. Over 70 people were

injured. As usual, as you are

watching Outside Source, if you have

questions you want me to pick up on

send them my way using the hashtag.

The men you can see here are

fighters from an organisation called

the Kurdish people's protection

unit. They're militia. They're

already backed by America in the

fight against the Islamic State

group in Syria. But now the

Americans are proposing to expand

their role as part of a larger force

which will operate along the border

with Syria and Turkey. The catch is

Turkey sees these Kurdish units as

terrorist organisations. This is

President Erdogan earlier.

TRANSLATION:

This is what we need to

say to our allies, don't get in

between us and terrorist

organisations or we will not be

responsible for the unwanted

consequences. Either you take off

your flags of those terrorist

organisations, or we will have to

hand those flags over to you.

The

Americans also support fighters from

the Syrian democratic forces. This

matter could come to a head with

Turkey in a place in the north of

Syria. President Erdogan has

repeatedly said he is ready to

launch attacks on it. Here is more

about this border force which the

Americans are proposing.

The idea

behind is that the United States is

trying to draw a line between Turkey

and some areas in Syria and trying

to emphasise the existence of SDF,

the Kurdish forces that the United

States is supporting, and this is

for the first time going against

Russia, Turkey and Iran, all at the

same time. Of course the Syrian

regime. This is a rare occasion

where Turkey and Iran and Russia are

agreeing on something, so they want

to think what Donald Trump is

thinking after a few weeks of just

announcing by the Pentagon that the

fund something reviewed, so it's

confusing for all of them.

The

Americans know full well hen they

make these proposals it's going to

upset President Erogan. What's so

important about these fight sners

The importance for United States is

emphasising an area that goes to the

Kurds instead, Turkey would prefer

them going to al instead of Sunnis

or SDF and Kurdish forces to create

a different map for Syria and today

Russia said this is the first step

in the verge of criticising what

Trump is deciding. Russia said this

is the first step on dividing Syria

and actually there are so many

critics that went against Russia

saying you were trying to divide

Syria too but it's a different map.

Everybody wants a different map.

Everybody is accusing everybody of

trying to divide Syria.

The United

States along with some partners and

other countries too like Turkey,

Syria, Iraq, Russia, they aren't

offer ago completely unified fight

against the Islamic State group, but

that fight is working, the coalition

led by the Americans say they've now

taken back 98% of IS territory. It's

been a significant operation since

2014 there have been more than

14,000 strikes in Syria and also

over 13,000 in Iraq. While that

means attacks by the Islamic State

are perhaps less likely, it doesn't

mean they don't happen. Just today

there was a double suicide attack in

Baghdad that killed at least 35

people:

We have been discussing this

like six or send months ago when we

were about to get into the fierce

fighting, we said there is always

going to be sleeping cells waiting

for a gap, something that's a bit

weak especially in Baghdad. This is

the very first time that the Iraqi

Prime Minister is using the word

sleeping cells. As well as that the

idea that there is not going to be

any Isis ever is too ambitious and

so many analysts would think that it

was a bit too early to announce that

especially that it might not be Isis

this time, might be the return back

of al-Qaeda, might be new groups

that they came from under the

ground, especially the Baghdad

Government we moved all the

checkpoints in Baghdad and so many

people were against that especially

with situation waiting for

parliament elections next May.

And

Iraqi officials are speaking to BBC

Arabic, do they suggest today may

alter the approach to security in

Baghdad or is that overstating it?

Actually if the Iraqi Prime Minister

now changed the strategy, put back

the checkpoints, it's like shooting

himself in the foot because he is

about to announce the new coalition

between himself and. If he does that

now it's going to be politically

backfiring on him because it's going

to draw the situation as if it was

too early to announce there is no

Isis any more in Iraq. So the coming

back from the previous decision

needs to be very, very wise and

taken very slowly.

If you want more

background information on the

situation in Syria and Iraq you can

get that through the BBC news

website. Next we are going to talk

about a woman who has been nicknamed

the black widow of the Riviera.

She's on trial in Nice in the south

of France. That trial will decide if

that nickname is deserved. She's

already serving time for fraud. Now

she us a accused of poisoning four

elderly men, two of whom died as a

result. She denies the charges. The

Nice prosecutor says she would be

full of everyone Pathe for these

men, gain their confidence and end

up by working out how to make them

disappear. One of her alleged

victims was a 91-year-old. He told

police he believed she was his great

love but that his health declined

alarmingly after meeting her. As you

can imagine, this story has been

widely covered in the French press.

This is one image we spotted.

It shows her in 2011, who are a

while she lived on a yacht in

Canees. Huw Schofield has much more.

It's quite a story. It goes back a

few years, mind you, and she is

appearing in court already as a

prisoner. She was charged and found

guilty in 2013 on a related case,

that was the case of an elderly man

found in a very bad state,

seminaked, covered in urine at his

home, a home he had been sharing

with her and she at that point was

convicted of abusing him and

extorting money from him. It was

that case in 2013 that triggered the

interest of police in other case,

including two rather suspicious

deaths in the region and they looked

into those cases, again two very old

men who died and they found there

was a link in both those cases with

her. She had known them and in the

case of one of the men, she was

found to have cheques from him after

his death worth 20,000 euros or so.

So they started putting together

this pattern and they came to the

conclusion that she was somebody who

preyed on elderly men, according to

the prosecution in this trial today,

she had a modus operandi which never

- she would contact elderly widowers

and old single men through a dating

agency. She would befriend them, get

close to them, sometimes have sex

with them, sometimes move in with

them and then it's alleged use a

combination of drink and sleeping

pills to get them in a woozy very

weak fragile state and at that point

get them to sign over money, sign

cheques, in one case even to change

their will. This case centres on

those two alleged murders. But also

on two cases of poisoning and those

survivors, alleged survivors, will

be appearing in court to testify

against her and to explain how they

nearly succumbed to her charms and

her what they would say is her evil.

That trial in Nice continues.

Remember you can get more

information on the stories we are

covering through the BBC news

website. For instance you can find a

report by our BBC science

correspondent about how it was

humans and into the rats who were

responsible for the spread of the

playing during the Black Death.

That's news to me. I need to see

that one.

-- of the plague.

Now the oil tanker in the east China

sea we have talked about for over a

week has sunk after burning since it

had a collision nine days ago.

Unfortunately, all the crew, 30

Iranians and two Bangladeshis, are

confirmed to have died. The tanker

collided with a cargo ship. We have

marked the collision area there. It

then drifted towards Japan before

sinking on Sunday. Robin Brant has

more.

This was the final intense fire that

sent Sanch toishgs the bottom of the

east China sea. An explosion

engulfed the whole ship and cracked

its Hull. In the final few hours, a

plume of smoke reached up to a

kilometre in the sky. Chinese rescue

teams had spent more than a week

trying to fight the fire. But

escaped oil and gas made it very

dangerous to even get close. On

Saturday, they managed to get on

board and recover a further two

bodies. What's left of the tanker is

now 100 metres down on the seabed.

The remaining 29 crew members, who

were missing, are all presumed dead.

Almost everyone on board was Iranian

and the Government in Tehran has

declared a day of national mourning

for Monday to remember who they

described as brave mariners. Now the

authorities here have to try to

avert an environmental tragedy.

While we know the size of the oil

spill, we don't know much more about

it. The Chinese authorities have not

been that forthcoming about exactly

what they found in the ocean about

300 miles in that direction. The

condensate on board is highly toxic

and it could kill all marine animals

and plant life it comes into contact

with. Sanchi burned for over a week.

Now an expanding slick is all left

on the surface. The thick heavy fuel

on board could harm wildlife. But

it's what is left of her cargo,

highly toxic condensate that could

do even more damage. What was left

went down with her. It will be hard

to locate and even harder to

contain.

That's part of the east China sea is

known for rich marine ecosystem.

That's been emphasised in a document

produced by the campaign group

Greenpeace. It produced this fact

sheet on the disaster. If you read

it in full it emphasises in this

part of the text that where this

ship has gone down is an important

spawning area for many types of

fish, including some which are

crucial to the fishing industry. On

that matter, here is the

oceangrapher Dr Simon Boxall.

This

fishing ground used by Japan, China,

South Korea, and so they're going to

have to bring a ban, if they aren't

already, very quickly, because this

stuff is toxic and it will impact on

those fisheries.

And this is

comparing what's happened here to

other oil disasters.

Obviously, a

tanker disaster near the coastline,

things like The Sea Empress, you see

an immediate impact on coastlines.

But this is the biggest spill we

have seen for over 25 years. It is

in the top ten largest volume

spills. Because we don't have the

ability to deal with this particular

type of leak you can treat it almost

like a sort of toxic chemical leak

as you might rather than necessarily

an oil spill.

There was an horrific

moment at the main Stock Exchange in

Jakarta earlier. 75 people were

injured when a floor collapsed. This

is the CCTV video that's been

released. You may find it upsetting.

If I play it on. You can see a large

group of students were on a tour of

the Stock Exchange but also there

are a number of people walking

below. Play on a little bit, you can

see where that large group of

students was standing begins to

collapse. Unfortunately everyone

goes down and then the CCTV turns to

black. Next video is the aftermath.

You will see the extent of the

damage that was caused. The police

have already said this was an

accident, there is no evidence it

was an attack. Here are some

eyewitnesss talking about what they

saw.

I heard some noise and building

shake and panic.

TRANSLATION:

The roof collapsed. The

roof of the first floor collapsed on

to the ground floor. There might be

a few people who were injured like

the receptionist and people who hung

out in Starbucks. But I didn't see

any dead. It looks like they were

injured and unconscious.

It is not

advised from my colleagues and

office management, don't advise me

to go back to the building.

The governor came to the scene a

short while ago. He has called for a

full audit of the Jakarta Stock

Exchange, the two towers that make

up this building in the heart of the

business district. He said that will

begin tonight, checking of the

building, many people I spoke there

to felt frightened about going back

into those offices to work, wanting

better checks. The governor has said

also he will tighten up regulations

on buildings around Jakarta.

Indonesia does not have a great

safety record when it comes to

buildings. There was an horrific

fire late last year in a fireworks

factory that left more than 50

people dead and when the

investigation was completed it was

found that there were many safety

regulations that factory ignored. So

there will be a lot of scrutiny once

again on this building because again

it's really the heart of the

business district here, a beautiful

building, marble, foyers, glass, so

extraordinary something like this

could happen there.

Every day we bring you reports from

journalists from the BBC, from all

over the world, there is Rebecca in

Jakarta, we heard from DC and

destroit, we also heard from Sao

Paulo. Next we turn to Kenya. We are

going to talk about pot holes, a

major problem, not just for Kenyans,

but for people all over the world.

There are new plans to try to

resolve Kenya's pothole issues,

particularly in Nairobi. Let's look

at this report from my colleague on

the plan.

On the outskirts of Nairobi, damaged

roads like these are common. The

potholes test the resilience of

machine and patience of man and some

people have to go through this daily

as it is their way home from work.

It's like somebody has grabbed you

by the collar and is constantly

shaking the patience out of you.

This is not how I would like to get

home from work every day. I can tell

you that!

Vehicle owners feel the pain in

their wallets. Even these taxis find

it hard to make a profit.

When you

go through a pothole there is an

impact. It gets the damage, we are

repairing.

But such roads may not stay that way

for long. This is a machine

relatively new in the Kenyan market.

It can repair a pothole in about two

minutes, that's a fraction of the

time it usually takes. This

technology gets the job done in

three steps.

The first step is to

clean the pothole. The equipment is

capable of blowing at speeds of up

to 100 kilometres an hour. The

second step is to apply the bonding

layer or the bonding coat, it's a

primer, it allows for whatever

material to put on top of the repair

surface to stick. Then the third and

final step is to then fill the

pothole with the material which is

the dry aggregate and a mixture of

emulsion. We actually war apt all

our repairs for up to one year,

that's the confidence that we have

in the longevity of the repair.

The

Nairobi Government aims to buy these

machines to fast track road repairs

in the city but the public has often

felt even with available resources

maintenance work has not been

satisfactory. Experts are advising

city managers to find the right

balance.

By bringing in a machine

and you have not solved the

organisational problems, the machine

will not work on its own. What the

city system requires to do is to

augment an effective technology from

a hard war perspective, they must

also provide an effective

organisational system.

These motorists would no doubt

appreciate if the potholes

disappeared faster but keeping the

roads consistently in good condition

would be the ultimate win.

Let's turn to the issue of

immigration in the US. Illegal

immigrants have been warned to

expect more raids and deportations

from their places of work. You may

have seen last week the Government

raided 98 stores in a number of

states, this is the wash Post

carrying the story, rounded up

undocumented workers, 21 people were

arrested. These crackdowns are

hardest felt in relatively small

communities. We are going to

concentrate on one in Washington

state on the West Coast of the US.

According to data released locally

the number of arrests and

deportations have quadrupled in that

County in the last year, 2017 and

that's 2016. Interestingly, the

majority of people in that County

voted for Donald Trump and that was

the first time the County had

supported the republicans in more

than 60 years. BBC News has been

there to find out people's

sentiments about what is happening.

They're taking the easy targets.

I

don't think people thought about it.

I don't think they believed that

people's rights would be trampled

on.

These are our friends. These are

our neighbours. These are people

that we value.

He was a great

friend. He stood up for a lot of

kids.

Shame on me, I didn't think of

how it would play out with people

that I know.

Some republicans here who are

delighted with what is going on with

the enforcement of immigration. But

there are also a number of

republican who is are feeling very

distressed and saying this isn't

being done the proper way.

I

consider myself very politically

conservative, I thought it sounded

great, I mean, you break the law, by

golly, and then when you actually -

for me, you start, wait a minute,

wait a minute. This year what we

have noticed is a lot of people who

have been in our community for a

number of years have been arrested

and detained. Talking people here

sometimes here ten, 12, even more

years. So it's impacting the

fisheries, cannery workers, the

cranberry bogs. Even more so than

that, I think people have been

emotionally in turmoil because

they've seen people they've known

for years, friends, acquaintances,

neighbours, people that have gone to

Church with, those kind of things,

kids are in school together, are

just gone.

They're taking the easy

targets, I have been told people are

just going to work for the day and

ICE is there waiting for them when

they arrive at work. It's

frustrating because they have not

yet been able to tell us names of

people they're taking away or any

details so sometimes we have had

cases where maybe somebody is

missing and we don't know if they

were taken by ICE or if they're

actually a missing person. I have no

problem whatsoever in seeing people

committing crimes deported. Since I

have been a sheriff in the last

seven years I think they've only

taken about people half a dozen

times from our jail facility.

A guy

I have known for many years who I

found out last summer was picked up

and I didn't know he was here

illegally to be honest, but I was

like, they picked up Mario?

I wasn't

surprised at all, since this new

administration started everyone is

going to be detained. But then I

knew that they were going to focus

Back On Top criminals, I am sure

imnot a criminal, I am not one of

those.

I mean, he is somebody that

you would want to have in your

country, he is somebody that's going

to add to in a very positive way our

community and you can not tell me

that our community is better off or

the United States is better off

because Mario has been shipped back

to Mexico.

It's easy to hear soundbites and say

yes, that's great policy. It's

different when you're implementing

it and you start saying wait a

minute, this is affecting these

people's lives and I didn't sign up

for this. Shame on me for being

short-sighted about it OK, fine,

but... It's not just, it's not just,

to me.

Sad news came through earlier, the

lead singer of The Cranberries has

died suddenly here in London. She

was only 46. Lots of you watching

will know, The Cranberries found

enormous international success in

the 1990s. Their debut album sold 40

million copies worldwide. Tributes

have been powering in. Here is the

American band Foster The People.

You will see on social media

hundreds and hundreds of tributes.

Probably the song she is best known

for singing is Linger off that first

album. We will finish the show by

playing it.

# If you could return

# Don't let it burn, don't let it

fade

# I am snour I am in the being rude,

but it's just your attitude, it's

tearing me apart it's ruining every

day.

# I swore I would be true

# And so did you

# So why were you holding her hand

# Is that the way we stand

# Were you lying all the time

# Was it
