0:00:12 > 0:00:17I'm Ros Atkins, welcome to Outside Source. After months of tension
0:00:17 > 0:00:20there appears to be a thaw in relations between the north and
0:00:20 > 0:00:26south of career.They have announced they will have a unified team at the
0:00:26 > 0:00:31Winter Olympics next month and March and April unification flag at the
0:00:31 > 0:00:37opening ceremony of the Winter Olympics. The ultra-'s former chief
0:00:37 > 0:00:40strategist Steve Bannon will no longer be testifying in front of a
0:00:40 > 0:00:44grand jury. There are reports he has cut a deal with the mullet
0:00:44 > 0:00:47investigation into alleged collusion between the Trump presidential
0:00:47 > 0:00:54campaign and Russia. We'll talk about Cape Town. It has just over 90
0:00:54 > 0:00:57days before it runs out of water. We'll talk through what the city is
0:00:57 > 0:01:02trying to do to avoid that happening. And we will learn about
0:01:02 > 0:01:07bull taming in India. In one state five spectators have died in the
0:01:07 > 0:01:17last few days.
0:01:25 > 0:01:30So we've had announcement of the utmost significance in the North and
0:01:30 > 0:01:34South Koreans. We know the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympics in
0:01:34 > 0:01:39South Korea they won't march under their own flags, they will march
0:01:39 > 0:01:43under this flag, April unification flag which shows the outlines of the
0:01:43 > 0:01:47two countries. On top of that they won't enter separate teams into the
0:01:47 > 0:01:52ice hockey. The women's ice hockey at least we'll see a joint Korean
0:01:52 > 0:02:00team taking place. Two moments of huge significance no doubt. All of
0:02:00 > 0:02:04this is in the context of talks that have been ongoing in a place which
0:02:04 > 0:02:09is just below the demarcation between the two countries. If you
0:02:09 > 0:02:14want an idea of how much a joint team matters, you have to go back to
0:02:14 > 0:02:201991 because it was then a joint Korean team entered the world team
0:02:20 > 0:02:25table tennis Championships. They won, a huge moment, so huge in fact
0:02:25 > 0:02:29that the South Koreans made a film about it. This is the trailer they
0:02:29 > 0:02:36made. You get an idea of the emotion involved. Talks have been going on.
0:02:36 > 0:02:40Many people are infused, suddenly infused in 1991. Some people have
0:02:40 > 0:02:45doubts about this latest idea. The BBC has recently launched a Korean
0:02:45 > 0:02:51service. We asked the editor to reflect on the mood within South
0:02:51 > 0:02:54Korea.The reason they chose this sport is because both teams are
0:02:54 > 0:03:00under the same... Both teams have similar levels of ability. After
0:03:00 > 0:03:04this news a lot of people have been quite angry and South Korea. Tens of
0:03:04 > 0:03:08thousands of people have put up an online petition on the presidential
0:03:08 > 0:03:15house, the blue house. The reason for this is they feel that by having
0:03:15 > 0:03:19North Korean teams joining the South Korean teams, it undermines their
0:03:19 > 0:03:23own abilities, possibly lessens the chance of them winning.These Winter
0:03:23 > 0:03:28Olympics start in Pyeongchang on February nine. We'll move a long way
0:03:28 > 0:03:32from the Korean peninsula to Vancouver in Canada. We've reported
0:03:32 > 0:03:35there last night because around 20 countries have come together to
0:03:35 > 0:03:42discuss how to stop North Korea's nuclear ambitions. The BBC Seoul
0:03:42 > 0:03:46correspondence is Laura Bicker. She is in Vancouver at the moment for
0:03:46 > 0:03:52these talks. Here she is taking us through what is being said there.
0:03:52 > 0:03:57I've been speaking to the South Korean Foreign Minister, who has...
0:03:57 > 0:04:02I recently put it to her this could be a propaganda effort on the half
0:04:02 > 0:04:06of the North. Still when it comes to those talks denuclearisation is not
0:04:06 > 0:04:11on the agenda. But she said they are dealing with North Korea with clear
0:04:11 > 0:04:18eyes. South Korea is in the best position to take part in the talks.
0:04:18 > 0:04:23They so vain know their neighbour better than anybody else. -- they
0:04:23 > 0:04:27say they know their neighbour. People have been saying they are
0:04:27 > 0:04:31slightly sceptical of North Korea's motives for taking part and that
0:04:31 > 0:04:36after the Olympics will this in fact lead to further talks and further
0:04:36 > 0:04:40dialogue about getting rid of nuclear weapons? Any hope it is true
0:04:40 > 0:04:44but what they say here is they are not sure they can believe them. Here
0:04:44 > 0:04:48in Vancouver what they've been talking about is cracking down
0:04:48 > 0:04:52further on North Korea, further sanctions and enforcing the current
0:04:52 > 0:04:55sanctions to the full letter of the law.Before we do anything else
0:04:55 > 0:04:58let's play a clip from your interview with the South Korean
0:04:58 > 0:05:03Foreign Minister. Here is some of the conversation they had.My
0:05:03 > 0:05:09government is very clear that despite the situation with the
0:05:09 > 0:05:14nuclear missile programme, as a matter of principle, that is
0:05:14 > 0:05:18written, in fact coming to the Security Council resolutions, yes,
0:05:18 > 0:05:22there are sanctions, but there is always a exception for humanitarian
0:05:22 > 0:05:27work. And we'd like to live up to that spirit of humanitarianism. That
0:05:27 > 0:05:33is very much part of the sanctions regime.A lot of people are
0:05:33 > 0:05:39wondering, what is the point of this mission if the Chinese aren't there?
0:05:39 > 0:05:44-- this meeting. The Chinese and Russia it must be said. Reuters have
0:05:44 > 0:05:48released an interview with President Trump saying Russia is helping North
0:05:48 > 0:05:52Korea get around the sanctions. You are right, China and Russia are not
0:05:52 > 0:05:56here. China has been staying within the last 24 hours they are
0:05:56 > 0:06:00incredibly unhappy about it. And these talks are meaningless. The
0:06:00 > 0:06:05point of this is to send a message to North Korea they will crack down
0:06:05 > 0:06:10on sanctions. What you hear in that clip from South Korea is they are
0:06:10 > 0:06:13trying to rally the international community to say look, we might be
0:06:13 > 0:06:16cracking down on the regime, but the people of North Korea still need our
0:06:16 > 0:06:22help. What Korea is looking for from the international community is to
0:06:22 > 0:06:27get aid in. Estimate around 70% of North Koreans are on the verge of
0:06:27 > 0:06:33hunger. And, therefore, they believe in South Korea that it is time to
0:06:33 > 0:06:37get aid in now, that's what she is pushing for here. It is quite a
0:06:37 > 0:06:41savvy move on behalf of the South Koreans. They say they are reaching
0:06:41 > 0:06:43a hand of friendship to the north while the international community is
0:06:43 > 0:06:49able to put the teeth into North Korea and say, look, we clamp down
0:06:49 > 0:06:54on you if you don't get rid of your nuclear weapons. There is a two
0:06:54 > 0:06:57pronged approach going on.Yesterday on the programme we discussed
0:06:57 > 0:07:00reports Steve Bannon, the former chief strategist at the White House,
0:07:00 > 0:07:04had been called to testify to a grand jury. This was going to be
0:07:04 > 0:07:07part of Robert Miller's investigation into alleged collusion
0:07:07 > 0:07:12between the current campaign and Russia. -- Robert Muller. We have
0:07:12 > 0:07:16been told a deal has been done and the grand jury appearance isn't
0:07:16 > 0:07:19certain to happen. Katty Kay in Washington has been helping me
0:07:19 > 0:07:26understand.
0:07:26 > 0:07:30The subpoena for Mr Bannon to appear before a grand jury hasn't been
0:07:30 > 0:07:33totally rescinded, it is hanging out there like a shadow over his
0:07:33 > 0:07:41shoulder. He has agreed to have a more informal chat and composition
0:07:41 > 0:07:44with Robert Mueller's team, along the lines of what other people in
0:07:44 > 0:07:52Donald Trump's inner circle have done. It is a much more friendly
0:07:52 > 0:07:55environment for Steve Bannon. It comes on the heels of that committee
0:07:55 > 0:07:59meeting that he went to yesterday in the House of Representatives in
0:07:59 > 0:08:07which he refused to answer some of the questions. I think if he plays
0:08:07 > 0:08:10the same card with Robert Mueller the special prosecutor the special
0:08:10 > 0:08:13counsel would be particularly impressed.Evidently Mr Bannon is
0:08:13 > 0:08:19talking to the investigators he was less talkative in front of a
0:08:19 > 0:08:23congressional committee yesterday. He was focused on that alleged
0:08:23 > 0:08:28collusion. Mr Bannon declined to answer questions. Adam Schiff is a
0:08:28 > 0:08:33Democrat, he was in the room.This was effectively a gag order by the
0:08:33 > 0:08:38White House. Preventing this witness from answering almost any question
0:08:38 > 0:08:42concerning his time in the transitional administration and many
0:08:42 > 0:08:47questions even after he left. And the breadth of this became very
0:08:47 > 0:08:51apparent, because he not only refused to answer questions that
0:08:51 > 0:08:55took place within the White House, but also any conversations he had
0:08:55 > 0:09:00with people outside the White House. Reporters tried to press Mr Bannon
0:09:00 > 0:09:05on his silence. As he left the hearing.Who from the White House
0:09:05 > 0:09:12ask you to invoke executive privilege? How did the meeting go,
0:09:12 > 0:09:17Mr Bannon?What did they ask you? What did they ask you in there?Is
0:09:17 > 0:09:22he allowed to do that?Silent inside a meeting and silent outside the
0:09:22 > 0:09:26meeting. He was in there for ten hours which must be most peoples
0:09:26 > 0:09:29idea of hell on earth having to sit in a congressional committee hearing
0:09:29 > 0:09:32for ten hours answering questions. He answered some of the questions,
0:09:32 > 0:09:36we should make that clear. There were others he had his with him.
0:09:36 > 0:09:41When certain questions were posed, as Adam Schiff was saying. Mr
0:09:41 > 0:09:46Bannon's lawyer got on the phone to people in the White House who said,
0:09:46 > 0:09:49we are invoking executive privilege on this one and we don't want Steve
0:09:49 > 0:09:52Bannon to answer any of the questions. What the Democrats would
0:09:52 > 0:09:55say is, this is a very broad interpretation of this thing called
0:09:55 > 0:10:01executive privilege, which allows the president not to have two answer
0:10:01 > 0:10:04certain questions. Steve Bannon is kind of evoking it here under the
0:10:04 > 0:10:07idea he was working for the president, therefore he speaks on
0:10:07 > 0:10:10behalf of the president or the Administration. As the Democrats
0:10:10 > 0:10:14were saying, they hadn't seen this broad stretch when it came to
0:10:14 > 0:10:17invoking executive privilege. If he goes before a grand jury he won't
0:10:17 > 0:10:21have that option, you'll have to answer the questions.One last
0:10:21 > 0:10:28thing, Steve Bannon famously called the pressed the enemy. If I scrolled
0:10:28 > 0:10:32down a touch you will see the article is written by Senator John
0:10:32 > 0:10:38McCain, he is Republican, but he is also a free spirit isn't it?Year,
0:10:38 > 0:10:43is known as the maverick in America, Senator John McCain wrote this
0:10:43 > 0:10:47article in the Washington Post in which he made the point the
0:10:47 > 0:10:51President's actions here in the United States about the free press
0:10:51 > 0:10:54were being picked up around the world and were having an impact on
0:10:54 > 0:10:59journalists around the world. He cited a report showing journalists
0:10:59 > 0:11:03had been arrested under the grounds of being fake news in various
0:11:03 > 0:11:10countries last year. Mr McCain's argument is that all this talk about
0:11:10 > 0:11:12fake news, calling various organisations failed newspapers,
0:11:12 > 0:11:16fake news, it might sound funny but it's not, there are serious
0:11:16 > 0:11:18consequences and the impact is already being felt on the freedom of
0:11:18 > 0:11:23the press and freedom of expression around the world because as Mr
0:11:23 > 0:11:27McCain said, countries where there are dictatorial tendencies and
0:11:27 > 0:11:30authoritarian leaders they take their cue from the United States and
0:11:30 > 0:11:33they say, this is what the President of the United States is doing, is
0:11:33 > 0:11:39their argument, and we can do it, too.On the Korean peninsula in a
0:11:39 > 0:11:43few minutes an Outside Source we turned to Cape Town.
0:11:43 > 0:11:55Cape Town could be completely dry within 90 days.
0:11:55 > 0:11:57Here Theresa May has been defending the Government's
0:11:57 > 0:11:58handling of the collapse of the construction
0:11:59 > 0:12:00company Carillion.
0:12:00 > 0:12:02Labour say it's "unbelievable" that Ministers continued awarding
0:12:02 > 0:12:04contracts to the firm after they'd issued a series
0:12:04 > 0:12:14of profits warnings.
0:12:14 > 0:12:19We need our public services provided by public employees with a public
0:12:19 > 0:12:25service ethos and a strong public oversight. As the ruins of the
0:12:25 > 0:12:30Carillion lie around her, will the Prime Minister acted to end this
0:12:30 > 0:12:34costly racket of the relationship between government and some of these
0:12:34 > 0:12:40companies?I might first of all remind the honourable gentleman that
0:12:40 > 0:12:47a third of the Korean contract with the government were led by the
0:12:47 > 0:12:52Labour government. -- Karelia and contracts. What we want is to
0:12:52 > 0:12:55provide good quality public services are livid at best value to the
0:12:55 > 0:13:02taxpayer. -- Carillion contracts.
0:13:06 > 0:13:10Ibrox ins with Outside Source in the BBC newsroom.
0:13:10 > 0:13:13North and South Korea have agreed to field a combined women's ice
0:13:13 > 0:13:15hockey team at next month's Winter Olympics, and march
0:13:15 > 0:13:24under a single flag.
0:13:24 > 0:13:26France has scrapped controversial plans to build an airport
0:13:26 > 0:13:29on this site near Nantes in the west of France.
0:13:29 > 0:13:31The project has been around for nearly 50 years -
0:13:31 > 0:13:34the current government says it can't go ahead amidst such
0:13:34 > 0:13:37bitter opposition.
0:13:37 > 0:13:39Bangladesh says it's now counted more than a million Rohingya
0:13:39 > 0:13:42refugees living in camps near the border with Myanmar.
0:13:42 > 0:13:44The UN says more than 650,000 Rohingya have entered the country
0:13:44 > 0:13:54after violence began in August.
0:13:57 > 0:14:00France has confirmed that the Bayeux tapestry depicting the Norman
0:14:00 > 0:14:02conquest of England in the eleventh century can be displayed
0:14:02 > 0:14:04in Britain for the first time.
0:14:04 > 0:14:06But first there will be tests to ensure that the fragile
0:14:06 > 0:14:14seventy-metre roll of linen can be safely moved.
0:14:14 > 0:14:16We've continued to hear very powerful testimony from women
0:14:16 > 0:14:19who say they were sexually abused a former Team USA gymnastics doctor.
0:14:19 > 0:14:21Larry Nassar's already been found guilty -
0:14:21 > 0:14:31this is a sentencing hearing.
0:14:32 > 0:14:34This week Simone Biles became the latest gymnast to allege
0:14:34 > 0:14:36she was sexually abused by Nassar.
0:14:36 > 0:14:38And nearly 100 women are testifying during this hearing
0:14:38 > 0:14:47about allegations that span 20 years.
0:14:47 > 0:14:53This is what the court heard.
0:14:53 > 0:14:57After this is said and done you will be forgotten, but no one will forget
0:14:57 > 0:15:02how us women have got the strength to stand up and take you down. They
0:15:02 > 0:15:07won't forget how we change the trajectory of abuse in the sport of
0:15:07 > 0:15:14gymnastics. And I hope God has mercy on your soul.It was terrifying and
0:15:14 > 0:15:18disgusting and I spent days in shock from the violation I had experienced
0:15:18 > 0:15:22at his hands.You broke and shattered a lot of girls. You
0:15:22 > 0:15:26manipulated us to trust you because you're a doctor and doctors do no
0:15:26 > 0:15:32wrong, only heal.She took her own life because she couldn't deal with
0:15:32 > 0:15:39the pain any more.There will be a day when I looked into my soul and I
0:15:39 > 0:15:44will still see the scars of this nightmare. And I will no longer feel
0:15:44 > 0:15:50the deepness of their pain.Perhaps you figured it out by now, little
0:15:50 > 0:15:54girls don't stay little for ever. They grow into strong women that
0:15:54 > 0:16:00return to destroy your world.You and your actions have walked with me
0:16:00 > 0:16:04every step of the way since leaving Michigan State University. Such a
0:16:04 > 0:16:10beautiful campus, tarnished with your touch.Larry Nassar damage the
0:16:10 > 0:16:14most important relationship in my life. My relationship with my
0:16:14 > 0:16:25mother. When he abused me my mother was in the room. And even though I
0:16:25 > 0:16:29had known now she had no knowledge of the assault, at the time I felt
0:16:29 > 0:16:33even less power to speak up because I assumed if something were wrong
0:16:33 > 0:16:36she would do something about it.May you never heard or abuse another
0:16:36 > 0:16:42person again. I came to the stand as a victim, I leave as a victor
0:16:42 > 0:16:46because you don't have the authority any more, and because I'm one of the
0:16:46 > 0:16:48many women who are helping to put you behind bars for the countless
0:16:48 > 0:16:56crimes you have committed.I am broken. I am tired. I feel like the
0:16:56 > 0:17:03life has literally been sucked out of me.We may never fully heal, and
0:17:03 > 0:17:08you need to face the truth and the consequences that accompany it.
0:17:13 > 0:17:18Our correspondent has been covering the hearing.One thing I was struck
0:17:18 > 0:17:21by was the sense of collective empowerment that these young women
0:17:21 > 0:17:28now have as they all come together and share their stories. The court
0:17:28 > 0:17:31was filled with some of these women who obviously grown up. They were
0:17:31 > 0:17:34supported by husband and parents as they all share their story. Some
0:17:34 > 0:17:41anonymously. I was speaking to some of the survivors outside the
0:17:41 > 0:17:46courtroom and one thing that seems to be a common thread is these are
0:17:46 > 0:17:50all young women, gymnasts who trusted Larry Nassar as a doctor.
0:17:50 > 0:17:55But when they went into the medical treatment room, he violated their
0:17:55 > 0:18:01innocence. One woman who spoke today at the court, when, said, we were
0:18:01 > 0:18:06just kids. I still remember the feel of his hands. I still remember
0:18:06 > 0:18:11flinching from his touch. And I remember him saying, it's OK, you
0:18:11 > 0:18:17will feel better. I was also struck by some of the comments from the
0:18:17 > 0:18:28judge earlier today. A mother of one of his victims spoke today very
0:18:28 > 0:18:32powerfully, very angry she trusted him as a doctor. After she spoke the
0:18:32 > 0:18:36judge said, all of these girls are heroes, you as parents need to
0:18:36 > 0:18:42forgive yourself. This punishment is also hearing the words of all
0:18:42 > 0:18:46parents and survivors. It's a very traumatic hearing but for these
0:18:46 > 0:18:51women also very important one. They want to make sure he is held
0:18:51 > 0:18:54accountable for his actions, but the other thing that is very important
0:18:54 > 0:18:59to note is they are also very angry at the authorities. Talking about
0:18:59 > 0:19:04USA gymnastics. And Michigan State University, where he was employed.
0:19:04 > 0:19:07They want to know why they weren't believed when many of these women
0:19:07 > 0:19:14spoke out. Many, many years ago. Thanks for that report. Time for
0:19:14 > 0:19:17Outside Source business, we begin by talking about Apple because it will
0:19:17 > 0:19:23pay $38 billion in tax bring overseas money back into the US. The
0:19:23 > 0:19:29company's also planning to spend $350 billion in investment in the US
0:19:29 > 0:19:33over the next five years. When I saw the story my first reaction was, how
0:19:33 > 0:19:37much of this is to do with that new tax system Donald Trump and the
0:19:37 > 0:19:41Republicans have bought him? Let's ask Samira Hussain in New York. Are
0:19:41 > 0:19:49they directly connected?Pretty much yes. What Apple has long wanted is
0:19:49 > 0:19:52for the US tax code to change in order for them to be able to bring
0:19:52 > 0:19:59over a lot of the money in fact 94% of their money held overseas. This
0:19:59 > 0:20:03was something mentioned by President Trump, then candidate John, on the
0:20:03 > 0:20:09campaign trail. It has lowered the tax rate for companies to bring
0:20:09 > 0:20:17money from overseas. That is where you get the $38 billion number,
0:20:17 > 0:20:21because now Apple says they can bring some of that money back. What
0:20:21 > 0:20:26remains unclear, however, is how much money Apple will be bringing
0:20:26 > 0:20:34back to the United States. That is still not very clear in all of this
0:20:34 > 0:20:39reporting.$350 billion across five years, presumably Apple already
0:20:39 > 0:20:43invest quite a lot per year, can you put that in context for us?What
0:20:43 > 0:20:48Apple wants to do now, they are going to build a whole new facility
0:20:48 > 0:20:53and at 20,000 jobs over the next five years. You could presume some
0:20:53 > 0:21:00of that money that they're holding overseas is going to be coming back
0:21:00 > 0:21:06here for reinvestment. But again, it's how the numbers flesh out its
0:21:06 > 0:21:13unclear.All of this will be music to Donald Trump's years. He says
0:21:13 > 0:21:17this tax reform would boost American business, change our American
0:21:17 > 0:21:20businesses would behave. We are certainly seeing changes in
0:21:20 > 0:21:24behaviour, the merits of those changes, different people would have
0:21:24 > 0:21:32different views of. Let's talk about bitcoin. It's taken a beating today.
0:21:32 > 0:21:34Bitcoin has been taking a beating - a sell off
0:21:34 > 0:21:35started yesterday and it's
0:21:35 > 0:21:36not showing any signs of stopping.
0:21:36 > 0:21:38It's current value is below $10,000 -
0:21:38 > 0:21:40half of what it was worth just a month ago.
0:21:40 > 0:21:42Other virtual currencies have also taken a tumble.
0:21:42 > 0:21:48One expert on what's going on.
0:21:48 > 0:21:51I think increased regulation or appetite for increased regulation
0:21:51 > 0:21:57seems to have worried some bitcoin traders. The prospects and huge
0:21:57 > 0:22:01exchanges could look to ban it is having an impact. We saw the story
0:22:01 > 0:22:05in South Korea last week. It seems China is looking to impose harsh
0:22:05 > 0:22:10measures having already gone further than most. It's also speculative
0:22:10 > 0:22:15impact, we saw the rally in bitcoin towards the end of the year and it
0:22:15 > 0:22:20was extremely significant. We saw huge gains being made, 10,000 in
0:22:20 > 0:22:24November, 20,000 in December. These are a natural gains on the problem
0:22:24 > 0:22:27is when you start to see more downside that is when the
0:22:27 > 0:22:33speculators can start to worry. It tends to exacerbate the move lower,
0:22:33 > 0:22:37which creates the tumbling effect we are seeing at the moment.
0:22:37 > 0:22:39A trade dispute over wine sales has erupted
0:22:39 > 0:22:43between Australia and Canada.
0:22:43 > 0:22:45Rules introduced in the province of British Columbia mean imported
0:22:45 > 0:22:47wines are subject to different sales regulations than local wines.
0:22:47 > 0:22:52Kim Gittleson explains.
0:22:52 > 0:22:58Australia is one of the world's largest wine exporters and Canada is
0:22:58 > 0:23:01its fourth-largest market. It exports something like $200 million
0:23:01 > 0:23:07of wine to Canada each year. It is said that certain provinces in
0:23:07 > 0:23:11Canada are levying extra fees on imported wines, as well as
0:23:11 > 0:23:14instituting certain regulations that make it harder for Australian
0:23:14 > 0:23:19winemakers to sell their product. So why do we care? This comes as part
0:23:19 > 0:23:23of a broader trade negotiation that Canada and Australia are having.
0:23:23 > 0:23:25They recently had bilateral trade talks which broke down recently.
0:23:25 > 0:23:32They are still negotiating the transpacific partnership, TPP, you
0:23:32 > 0:23:35might remember last year US President Donald Trump removed the
0:23:35 > 0:23:39US from that trade pact saying it didn't benefit American interests.
0:23:39 > 0:23:43Canada is the last holdout to signing a pact with the 11 remaining
0:23:43 > 0:23:47countries. Some people say since Australia has filed this complete it
0:23:47 > 0:23:52might have a country is losing patience with Canada. -- filed this
0:23:52 > 0:23:57complaint.We finished the programme on a subject I've only learned about
0:23:57 > 0:23:57the last couple of days.
0:23:58 > 0:23:59Bull-taming in India.
0:23:59 > 0:24:01At least five men in southern India have been gored
0:24:01 > 0:24:03to death while watching a bull-taming contest.
0:24:03 > 0:24:05It's called Jallikattu - and every January it sees thousands
0:24:05 > 0:24:08of men from across Tamil Nadu state chase bulls and try
0:24:08 > 0:24:14and grab hold of them.
0:24:14 > 0:24:20This is the The Hindu newspaper reporting today's death
0:24:20 > 0:24:24but there have been several across the last few days.
0:24:25 > 0:24:30This is what happens.
0:24:30 > 0:24:32The bull is released from a pen and bullfighters are supposed
0:24:32 > 0:24:35to hold on to the animal's hump over a distance of about 15-20
0:24:35 > 0:24:38metres, or three jumps by the bull, to win the prize.
0:24:38 > 0:24:40Unlike bullfighting in Spain, weapons aren't used
0:24:40 > 0:24:50and the animal is not killed.
0:24:59 > 0:25:04If no one succeeds in grabbing hold of the bull, the animal wins.
0:25:04 > 0:25:06A lot of people would say winning isn't the word.
0:25:06 > 0:25:09Animal rights groups says it's cruel - in 2014 it was banned
0:25:09 > 0:25:15by the Indian Supreme Court.
0:25:15 > 0:25:17But that decision lead to widespread protests.
0:25:17 > 0:25:19This is a video Chennai this time last year.
0:25:19 > 0:25:29The ban was lifted.
0:25:35 > 0:25:39That story from India is the last of this half of Outside Source. Back
0:25:39 > 0:25:42with you in the second half of the programme with an extended report
0:25:42 > 0:25:47about what's happening in Cape Town. It has 94 days before its predicted
0:25:47 > 0:25:52it completely runs out of water. We look at the reasons why it is
0:25:52 > 0:25:59happening and what is being done to try and avoid it.
0:26:10 > 0:26:14Good evening, plenty of severe weather in the UK but we start with
0:26:14 > 0:26:19the Indian Ocean first and tropical cyclones. We'd been talking about
0:26:19 > 0:26:23this for a couple of days, it's to slam into Mauritius and some 12
0:26:23 > 0:26:30hours into reunion. It is expected to make a direct impact, the eye of
0:26:30 > 0:26:34the cyclone with the worst of the wind and weather is expected to
0:26:34 > 0:26:38precisely move over the two Islands. This doesn't happen very often,
0:26:38 > 0:26:44Mauritius hasn't had a direct impact on the 70s. That is where the worst
0:26:44 > 0:26:55of the winds are. That is where Berguitta is in relation to the rest
0:26:55 > 0:26:59of Africa. Over to Europe where there is plenty of severe winter
0:26:59 > 0:27:03weather around. Snow across the Alps, slower little bit further
0:27:03 > 0:27:06towards the east and south-east of Europe. We've had a blast of gales
0:27:06 > 0:27:11across the British Isles in the last day or so. Another storm moving
0:27:11 > 0:27:17across the country bringing gale force winds and some heavy snow and
0:27:17 > 0:27:22we'll talk about that towards the end. That weather system will affect
0:27:22 > 0:27:25other parts of Europe as well. Holland into Germany, Denmark as
0:27:25 > 0:27:36well. This is a closer look. That same weather system that will be
0:27:36 > 0:27:38bringing severe gales across northern parts of the continent is
0:27:38 > 0:27:44bringing snow towards the owl is. A very snowy season so far. With
0:27:44 > 0:27:48strong winds and weather conditions across the Alps will be very poor.
0:27:48 > 0:27:56The avalanche risk is also very high because this part of the world. Some
0:27:56 > 0:28:00very unsettled weather around parts of Turkey. He is the outlook if you
0:28:00 > 0:28:05are travelling from some of the major airports. Berlin, possibly
0:28:05 > 0:28:08snow on Friday. Temperatures mostly above freezing. If you are
0:28:08 > 0:28:11travelling the other way, the other side of the pond, New York at least
0:28:11 > 0:28:14is looking a lot better, some sunshine there. Montreal looking
0:28:14 > 0:28:20wintry. Back home, as I said at the beginning, plenty of severe weather
0:28:20 > 0:28:25around, severe gales, snow and ice, currently at Lambeau warning
0:28:25 > 0:28:27enforced from the Met office for Northern Ireland and parts of
0:28:27 > 0:28:31Scotland. They will see this low-pressure storm system moving
0:28:31 > 0:28:34through, bringing around ten centimetres. Some less. For some of
0:28:34 > 0:28:37us over the hills, more. Severe gales moving through this part of
0:28:37 > 0:28:43the country here. Gusts in eastern areas could be as high as 70 mph
0:28:43 > 0:28:47during the course of Thursday morning, then the storm blows out,
0:28:47 > 0:28:51moves into the near continent, and behind it we're left with brighter
0:28:51 > 0:28:56but still breezy weather. The outlook for the next ten days or so
0:28:56 > 0:29:01is coming up. Just before 10pm.
0:30:10 > 0:30:12Hello, I'm Ros Atkins, this is Outside Source,
0:30:12 > 0:30:15and these are the main stories here in the BBC Newsroom.
0:30:15 > 0:30:17After months of rising tension, the big thaw in relations
0:30:17 > 0:30:25between North and South Korea continues.
0:30:25 > 0:30:28The two sides agree to field a combined women's ice hockey team
0:30:28 > 0:30:30at next month's Winter Olympics.
0:30:30 > 0:30:35And these fans are waving the flag they'll be marching under.
0:30:35 > 0:30:36It depicts a unified Korea.
0:30:36 > 0:30:38President Trump's former strategist Steve Bannon
0:30:38 > 0:30:40has done a deal with the Robert Mueller's Russian
0:30:40 > 0:30:47collusion investigation.
0:30:47 > 0:30:49Pope Francis has celebrated mass in southern Chile,
0:30:49 > 0:30:52the heartland of the indigenous Mapuche community.
0:30:52 > 0:30:54Addressing a large crowd, the Pope said violence was not
0:30:54 > 0:31:02the answer in the struggle for indigenous rights.
0:31:13 > 0:31:16Welcome to Outside Source.
0:31:16 > 0:31:19YouTube is bringing in new rules on which videos can make
0:31:19 > 0:31:23advertising income.
0:31:23 > 0:31:28We have talked about this video by YouTube Star Logan Paul, showing the
0:31:28 > 0:31:32body of a suicide victim in Japan, and racked up millions of use before
0:31:32 > 0:31:34it was
0:31:34 > 0:31:38and racked up millions of use before it was removed. Those can generate
0:31:38 > 0:31:42money. The new rules give YouTube more control.
0:31:42 > 0:31:44The new rules mean that creators will now need 1,000 subscribers
0:31:44 > 0:31:50and 4,000 hours of watch time before they start receiving ad revenue.
0:31:50 > 0:31:52By the standards of some people, that is not a particularly high
0:31:52 > 0:31:54threshold.
0:31:54 > 0:31:56And YouTube staff will review all clips being added
0:31:56 > 0:31:58to its premium service.
0:31:58 > 0:32:01That means a lot more staff, plus YouTube taking
0:32:01 > 0:32:03editorial decisions -
0:32:03 > 0:32:05not the role it was looking for.
0:32:05 > 0:32:13Dave Lee is in San Francisco.
0:32:13 > 0:32:18This is going to be quite a change in role for YouTube, isn't it?I
0:32:18 > 0:32:22think it is. I think it is making YouTube act more in the way that a
0:32:22 > 0:32:27traditional broadcaster might act, where it is making judgment calls
0:32:27 > 0:32:30and decency calls on videos that are on its platform, regardless of
0:32:30 > 0:32:34whether or not the users have flagged them to YouTube. That is a
0:32:34 > 0:32:39big shift. Try as it might, it will find itself in the path of people
0:32:39 > 0:32:42saying it is censoring things unnecessarily or it is somehow
0:32:42 > 0:32:47biased against certain viewpoints. So, taking on this task, not only as
0:32:47 > 0:32:54a huge number of people added to the payroll and their workload has
0:32:54 > 0:32:58increased, it makes YouTube much more of a gatekeeper for what is on
0:32:58 > 0:33:02its platform than it ever has been in its past. That will be fraught
0:33:02 > 0:33:04with problems and they will have to be particularly transparent, I
0:33:04 > 0:33:10think, about how it makes the decisions.It plays into other
0:33:10 > 0:33:13concessions we have had, not just about YouTube but Facebook and
0:33:13 > 0:33:15Twitter as well, they never saw themselves as publishers, they
0:33:15 > 0:33:19always said they were just the platform. The distinction seems to
0:33:19 > 0:33:24be blurring?The distinction is blurring. I think the reason for
0:33:24 > 0:33:29that is because of the size and importance of these networks. When
0:33:29 > 0:33:38Facebook first started, I don't think anybody could have and --
0:33:38 > 0:33:44envisioned how much it could have grown. They have sat behind a system
0:33:44 > 0:33:46and said, if there is something bad on the network, the community will
0:33:46 > 0:33:50tell us and we will act. What has changed in the last year and will
0:33:50 > 0:33:53change even more so this year is that companies are being told that
0:33:53 > 0:33:56is not good enough. You need to be more proactive in stopping these
0:33:56 > 0:34:00things existing on the networks in the first place. That is where this
0:34:00 > 0:34:06huge new challenge is coming, which is why, late last year, Mark
0:34:06 > 0:34:09Zuckerberg warned it could hurt their bottom line and they have to
0:34:09 > 0:34:12invest so much money and lose revenue in some areas to combat this
0:34:12 > 0:34:18efficiently.I just wanted to show everybody this close up shop that
0:34:18 > 0:34:24came into the newsroom earlier. These are the heads of policy for
0:34:24 > 0:34:30YouTube, Facebook and witty. -- Twitter. They had to appear in front
0:34:30 > 0:34:37of a Senate hearing about what they are doing to combat violence and
0:34:37 > 0:34:40extremism on the platform. What did they say?They went round in
0:34:40 > 0:34:46circles. The tech companies have been in front of the Senate before,
0:34:46 > 0:34:52there were hats ring many of the same questions yes -- they will
0:34:52 > 0:34:54answer many of the same questions last year. There wasn't much
0:34:54 > 0:35:02progress in this session. They brought more senior people, which is
0:35:02 > 0:35:05a step forward. The companies said we know it is not perfect, we are
0:35:05 > 0:35:09doing what we can. Senators are insisting what they are doing isn't
0:35:09 > 0:35:13enough. While there was not any progress, I do think it keeps the
0:35:13 > 0:35:16pressure on the companies and perhaps that was the goal, to make
0:35:16 > 0:35:20sure these companies were relaxing when it comes to the issue in the
0:35:20 > 0:35:24New Year.Isn't as an issue of regulation? The companies are not
0:35:24 > 0:35:27breaking the law, so the senators have to try to influence them in
0:35:27 > 0:35:30some way, but they can't just say pretty please, that is clearly not
0:35:30 > 0:35:36enough?Absolutely. Many people think that the momentum is leaning
0:35:36 > 0:35:41towards regulation. The key question is, what is that regulation going to
0:35:41 > 0:35:45be? Right now, it doesn't seem like anybody has a firm answer on how
0:35:45 > 0:35:48that regulation would work. One suggestion is that regulation could
0:35:48 > 0:35:54begin with regulating advertising in the same way that broadcasters have
0:35:54 > 0:35:57two be regulated in terms of who can pay for adverts and how they can
0:35:57 > 0:36:02appear. That might be the first step. The next step in solving this
0:36:02 > 0:36:05hugely complex tuition, I am not sure senators have a real idea what
0:36:05 > 0:36:08that could be.
0:36:10 > 0:36:13There's a countdown going on South Africa.
0:36:13 > 0:36:20Experts in Cape Town say it has 94 days until it runs out of water.
0:36:20 > 0:36:28It would be the first major city in the world to run dry.
0:36:28 > 0:36:30So-called Day Zero - when the reservoirs reach empty -
0:36:30 > 0:36:33is predicted for April 22nd.
0:36:33 > 0:36:35The reason is that it's Cape Town's worst drought
0:36:35 > 0:36:39in over a hundred years.
0:36:39 > 0:36:41The city's not really had a significant about
0:36:41 > 0:36:43of rain since 2015.
0:36:43 > 0:36:46There are other reasons too for the shortage.
0:36:46 > 0:36:54This is a spokesperson for the Water Crisis Group in Cape Town.
0:36:54 > 0:36:58Ill preparedness on the part of the city of Cape Town, global warming,
0:36:58 > 0:37:03increased population that was not accounted for. At the moment, at the
0:37:03 > 0:37:08heart of the problem is political uncertainty within the ruling party,
0:37:08 > 0:37:11within the Western Cape.
0:37:11 > 0:37:13Four million people live in Cape Town and they're being urged
0:37:13 > 0:37:16be responsible by taking short showers, flushing the toilet once
0:37:16 > 0:37:24a day, and not watering plants.
0:37:24 > 0:37:34This is what one resident told Reuters.
0:37:34 > 0:37:39It is very scary, but I think it is reality. We definitely have to do
0:37:39 > 0:37:43our part and use as little water as possible. I do hope that the
0:37:43 > 0:37:50government is doing something to prevent Day zero, because it will be
0:37:50 > 0:37:57a national crisis. It will be horrific if it comes.
0:37:57 > 0:38:00If Day Zero does come residents will only be able
0:38:00 > 0:38:02to collect 25 litres a day from designated water points.
0:38:02 > 0:38:05The government says there will be armed guards to make sure nobody
0:38:05 > 0:38:09takes more than their allocation.
0:38:09 > 0:38:11Well these are pressured moments for the authorities.
0:38:11 > 0:38:17This is the Mayor of Cape Town speaking last month.
0:38:17 > 0:38:21The drought at the moment is the worst in 100 years because of
0:38:21 > 0:38:28climate change. No generation had to go through this before. We are now
0:38:28 > 0:38:32looking at augmenting our water supply by bringing in additional
0:38:32 > 0:38:38water. We can no longer rely just on rainwater to fill our towns.
0:38:38 > 0:38:40One possible solution to this problem is boreholes.
0:38:40 > 0:38:45This is the head of one company that's drilling them.
0:38:45 > 0:38:50It is absolute panic among the people in Cape Town about getting
0:38:50 > 0:38:53onto the waiting list for boreholes. We are sitting with a three-year
0:38:53 > 0:38:57waiting list that is completely unmanageable at the moment. A year
0:38:57 > 0:39:03ago I was drooling with one rig, and now I have three in the field.
0:39:03 > 0:39:06Cape Town surrounded by the sea - that could help.
0:39:06 > 0:39:08The city has installed desalination plants which removes
0:39:08 > 0:39:16salt from sea water.
0:39:16 > 0:39:17It's useable - but crucially not drinkable.
0:39:17 > 0:39:20Trouble is - all these solutions may be too little too late.
0:39:20 > 0:39:23Here's the Water Crisis Group again.
0:39:23 > 0:39:29You know, it does sound very easy to say that we need more boreholes. For
0:39:29 > 0:39:33now, that is the quickest solution. But there are other problems that
0:39:33 > 0:39:37come with that. There are servitude, reticulation, how you get the water
0:39:37 > 0:39:42the. There are lots of other things to consider, not just a matter of
0:39:42 > 0:39:47drilling a hole into the ground. The other long-term solution is
0:39:47 > 0:39:53desalination. None of these solutions are quick fixes.
0:39:53 > 0:39:56Particularly, you know, it is one thing getting the water, it is
0:39:56 > 0:40:00another getting it to where it needs to be distributed.There is much
0:40:00 > 0:40:05more information on this story and many others on the BBC website.
0:40:10 > 0:40:12The Catalan parliament has met for the first time
0:40:12 > 0:40:14since it was dissolved by the Spanish government.
0:40:14 > 0:40:20That was in response to the unilateral declaration
0:40:20 > 0:40:21of independence in October which was ruled
0:40:21 > 0:40:25constitutionally illegal.
0:40:25 > 0:40:33Members of parliament will now nominate a new president.
0:40:33 > 0:40:37Not all of them were present. Look at this video, it shows some of them
0:40:37 > 0:40:42clapping and taking their seats, but you can notice all of the yellow
0:40:42 > 0:40:48ribbons. They represent MPs pro-independence MPs that are
0:40:48 > 0:40:54currently in exile. One of them is the former leader of Catalonia,
0:40:54 > 0:40:59Carlos Pigem on. The Spanish Prime Minister is warning him, don't try
0:40:59 > 0:41:08to run Catalonia from Belgium. He has been there is the authority said
0:41:08 > 0:41:18that they wanted to arrest him. They said if Charles Puigdemont return
0:41:18 > 0:41:21from Belgium, he would regain control of what was a relatively
0:41:21 > 0:41:27autonomous region.Two takeaways from today, one is that they formed
0:41:27 > 0:41:31a Parliamentary board. They elected a speaker of the house, a
0:41:31 > 0:41:34separatist. It is the job of the Speaker of the house and the board
0:41:34 > 0:41:37to elect the next President within ten working days. From talking to
0:41:37 > 0:41:41all sides over the past few days, that is going to be Carles
0:41:41 > 0:41:44Puigdemont. People talk about the idea of the hologram President. He
0:41:44 > 0:41:49is 800 miles away in Belgium. If he steps into Spain he will be arrested
0:41:49 > 0:41:54on sedition. His supporters say he will not come here, but they can
0:41:54 > 0:42:02feasibly be on Skype, Twitter, they say Trump does it, why can't he be
0:42:02 > 0:42:08the hologram President? Here is where it could go. If Puigdemont is
0:42:08 > 0:42:11put forward as President again, the Spanish government says that
0:42:11 > 0:42:14emergency rule will remain unless he comes here. He's not going to. I
0:42:14 > 0:42:18think it is going to get stuck, both sides acknowledge the Constitutional
0:42:18 > 0:42:22Court could suspend the parliament again. In terms of those hoping for
0:42:22 > 0:42:25a quick resolution, we will get an idea into matter weeks. It does not
0:42:25 > 0:42:31appear at the moment that is going happen.Through the day, looking at
0:42:31 > 0:42:35the most read story on the BBC News website, most of the time it has
0:42:35 > 0:42:41been this.
0:42:41 > 0:42:44The Bayeux Tapestry could soon go on display in the UK.
0:42:44 > 0:42:53It's currently on show in the town of Bayeux, Normandy.
0:42:53 > 0:42:56And it could be heading to the British Museum in London.
0:42:56 > 0:43:01It's 70 metres long.
0:43:01 > 0:43:02It depicts the Norman Conquests of England.
0:43:02 > 0:43:04It's expected French President Emmanuel Macron
0:43:04 > 0:43:07will announce the loan tomorrow - if experts say the tapestry
0:43:07 > 0:43:08is safe to move.
0:43:08 > 0:43:09Lucy Williamson reports.
0:43:09 > 0:43:12If anything puts current Anglo-French relations
0:43:12 > 0:43:15in context, this is it - a tapestry from almost a thousand
0:43:15 > 0:43:21years ago describing a very different kind of summit meeting.
0:43:21 > 0:43:23Now the French President has given approval for the 50 metre
0:43:23 > 0:43:26Bayeux Tapestry to leave French territory for the first time.
0:43:26 > 0:43:36But moving something this big and old is no simple matter.
0:43:42 > 0:43:43It's difficult to imagine all the practical
0:43:43 > 0:43:46to put it in a case and to put it in a train.
0:43:46 > 0:43:47No, we don't know.
0:43:47 > 0:43:51President Macron's gesture highlights France's deep ties
0:43:51 > 0:43:53and long history with Britain, though cynics might say it also
0:43:53 > 0:44:00highlights a crucial French victory over its Anglo-Saxon neighbour.
0:44:00 > 0:44:03Art experts say it is a benign telling of the tale,
0:44:03 > 0:44:05with moments of comedy and artistic influences from both
0:44:05 > 0:44:07sides of the Channel.
0:44:07 > 0:44:17There's a lot of excitement from British museums.
0:44:17 > 0:44:20Obviously, the opportunity to get really close to the Bayeux Tapestry
0:44:20 > 0:44:22and explore it and look at it is what's fascinating
0:44:22 > 0:44:24to all of us who have studied the Bayeux Tapestry.
0:44:24 > 0:44:27The exact location of the tapestry's famous battle has long been
0:44:27 > 0:44:29in dispute, but in Hastings today locals said the artwork
0:44:30 > 0:44:31should be displayed there.
0:44:31 > 0:44:34A lot of people in Hastings are proud of Hastings and if it's
0:44:34 > 0:44:38returning to Hastings, all the better.
0:44:38 > 0:44:43It comes from Hastings. The Battle of Hastings and all of the rest of
0:44:43 > 0:44:44it, a good tourist attraction.
0:44:44 > 0:44:46The battle happened here and there's not enough displays
0:44:46 > 0:44:51of what happened in Hastings so it should come here.
0:44:51 > 0:44:53Britain has twice requested the tapestry on loan, the first time
0:44:53 > 0:44:57for the Queen's Coronation, but has always been refused.
0:44:57 > 0:44:59This initiative has the backing of President Macron,
0:44:59 > 0:45:02part of the cultural exchanges he promised in his
0:45:02 > 0:45:06election campaign.
0:45:06 > 0:45:09But the deep ties with Britain have often been tinged with rivalry,
0:45:09 > 0:45:11and one French official was joking today about whether Britain
0:45:11 > 0:45:16would find anything of similar merit to send them in return.
0:45:16 > 0:45:22Lucy Williamson, BBC News, Bayeux.
0:45:22 > 0:45:24Drivers in Scotland are being advised to stay
0:45:24 > 0:45:26off the roads tonight.
0:45:26 > 0:45:32Heavy snow and ice is make driving conditions treacherous.
0:45:32 > 0:45:34Let me show you this photo taken today near Edinburgh.
0:45:34 > 0:45:38It shows just how bad the roads are.
0:45:38 > 0:45:41And this shows the M74 - that's the motorway linking
0:45:41 > 0:45:43Scotland to England - last night more than 200 motorists
0:45:43 > 0:45:45were left stranded there.
0:45:45 > 0:45:48The Met Office has issued a severe weather warning
0:45:48 > 0:45:49for the affected areas.
0:45:49 > 0:45:58Our Scotland correspondent Lorna Gordon reports.
0:45:58 > 0:46:02From the air, it is stunning. A white blanket of snow covering much
0:46:02 > 0:46:06of Scotland. Gritters, cutting a path through the drifts. For those
0:46:06 > 0:46:17travelling last night, it was a different story. Traffic on the M74
0:46:17 > 0:46:22grinding to a halt, stranded drivers stuck for hours.Terrible, cars,
0:46:22 > 0:46:29lorries everywhere. For hours, stuck on the M74.
0:46:29 > 0:46:31Lots of idiots in the third lane going to fast.
0:46:31 > 0:46:34Steady, but it was getting worse, so I chose to stop here,
0:46:34 > 0:46:41I'm not going on to Glasgow.
0:46:41 > 0:46:45These pictures show just how dangerous the conditions can be, a
0:46:45 > 0:46:48runaway lorry smashing into a car and van after the driver got out to
0:46:48 > 0:46:54help clear the road. Nobody was injured.
0:46:54 > 0:46:57Mountain rescue teams turned from the hills to the roads,
0:46:57 > 0:47:03checking the drivers were safe.
0:47:03 > 0:47:09A lot of vehicles were struggling to get grip. The issue was that there
0:47:09 > 0:47:13were a lot of lorries jackknife in, which was blocking the motorway
0:47:13 > 0:47:17behind. We were called in by police Scotland to basically go and check
0:47:17 > 0:47:21the welfare for the people in the vehicles.The difficult whether rich
0:47:21 > 0:47:24to give of England as well. In Halifax, Yorkshire, the public
0:47:24 > 0:47:30helping out after an ambulance responding to a 999 call got stuck.
0:47:30 > 0:47:33In Northern Ireland, some of those missing classes took two sledges
0:47:33 > 0:47:39instead. Nearly 300 schools there were stuck. A similar number in
0:47:39 > 0:47:46Scotland were closed for the day will stop Scotland's gritters, with
0:47:46 > 0:47:51affectionate nicknames, have been working around the clock. But with
0:47:51 > 0:47:54warnings of much more snow to come, drivers tonight are being urged to
0:47:54 > 0:48:02stay off the roads.
0:48:02 > 0:48:11Everyday on Outside Source we try to distil the biggest stories. We have
0:48:11 > 0:48:14heard from Scotland, Canada, South Africa and the US. Now we turn to
0:48:14 > 0:48:16Ethiopia.
0:48:16 > 0:48:18Couple of weeks ago we told you about Ethiopia's announcement
0:48:18 > 0:48:25that hundreds of political prisoners will be released.
0:48:25 > 0:48:30That was significant, because they hadn't even acknowledged many of
0:48:30 > 0:48:33these political prisoners existed. There was some doubt about whether
0:48:33 > 0:48:39the process would begin, but it has.
0:48:39 > 0:48:41500 prisoners were freed - among them was the prominent
0:48:41 > 0:48:42opposition leader, Merera Gudina.
0:48:42 > 0:48:45He's been held for a year - but says he wants talks
0:48:45 > 0:48:48with the government.
0:48:48 > 0:48:51He says he is ready for dialogue.
0:48:51 > 0:48:56Emmanuel Igunza's spent the day reporting from just by his house.
0:48:56 > 0:49:01He is regularly based in Ethiopia.
0:49:10 > 0:49:14Today, supporters of Merera Gudina have thronged the streets, calling
0:49:14 > 0:49:18for his arrival. He was released from prison, where he faced multiple
0:49:18 > 0:49:20charges including association with a terrorist group. The government says
0:49:20 > 0:49:27it will release 500 people, and Merera Gudina is one of the most
0:49:27 > 0:49:32prominent to have been released from prison today. The government say the
0:49:32 > 0:49:37purpose of this release of people that have been in jail, including
0:49:37 > 0:49:40politicians and journalists, is to foster national cohesion. We expect
0:49:40 > 0:49:45in the next weeks we will see a process of national dialogue. That
0:49:45 > 0:49:49has been one of the demands from protesters taking to the streets,
0:49:49 > 0:49:53sometimes very violently, for more than two and a half years now.
0:49:53 > 0:49:56Uganda is facing a critical shortage of blood -
0:49:56 > 0:50:01and the government is trying to recruit donors.
0:50:01 > 0:50:03There is a six-day campaign across the country but
0:50:03 > 0:50:05I want to focus on the capital Kampala - operations
0:50:05 > 0:50:11are being cancelled.
0:50:12 > 0:50:16In some case only 10% of the blood needed is available.
0:50:20 > 0:50:22Patience Authaire reports.
0:50:29 > 0:50:35This might be all you need to save your life. It is a recommendation by
0:50:35 > 0:50:41the World Health Organization that blood collections should be at least
0:50:41 > 0:50:491% of the populace. But the Uganda Blood Bank is unable to meet 70% of
0:50:49 > 0:50:54its target. The Blood Bank's stock is usually boosted by large
0:50:54 > 0:51:00communities that are easy to mobilise, such as schools. But with
0:51:00 > 0:51:06the law school holiday, the Blood Bank has found itself in crisis. It
0:51:06 > 0:51:11is something the facility says it is trying to mitigate.We have blood
0:51:11 > 0:51:17drives, we have been approached by companies and we have a programme
0:51:17 > 0:51:22that is going to keep the schools open. Sure, we are going to be able
0:51:22 > 0:51:26to provide good quantities of blood. Not enough is being collected
0:51:26 > 0:51:31through walk in donors and corporate company drives. Some Ugandans feel
0:51:31 > 0:51:35that the situation should not have to get this bad. There has been a
0:51:35 > 0:51:41push this week to get more blurred and it seems to be working. --
0:51:41 > 0:51:47blood.Citizens, we have to take it as an obligation. You know, blood is
0:51:47 > 0:51:51not manufactured and people needed, they are patients in hospital and
0:51:51 > 0:51:55they need the blood.But it is the logistics involved in collecting it
0:51:55 > 0:51:58that causes the biggest challenge.
0:52:01 > 0:52:10Pope Francis has continued his first official visit to Chile.
0:52:10 > 0:52:18Yesterday he gave a major speech in Santiago.
0:52:18 > 0:52:19He has moved to Temuco further south.
0:52:19 > 0:52:22It's an area where the country's indigenous Mapuche people live.
0:52:22 > 0:52:27They have at times fought campaigns to defend their ancestral lands.
0:52:27 > 0:52:28At times, they are violent campaigns.
0:52:28 > 0:52:30Pope Francis acknowledged that history in his address.
0:52:42 > 0:52:48TRANSLATION:In this context of Thanksgiving for its land and
0:52:48 > 0:52:51people, but also of sorrow and pain, we celebrate the Eucharist and we do
0:52:51 > 0:52:58it in this aerodrome, where grave violations of human rights took
0:52:58 > 0:53:02place. This celebration is offered by all that suffered and died, and
0:53:02 > 0:53:05for those that carry on their shoulders the weight of so many
0:53:05 > 0:53:07injustices.
0:53:08 > 0:53:11APPLAUSE
0:53:17 > 0:53:20If you watch regularly, you know we can select any live feeds coming
0:53:20 > 0:53:24into the BBC newsroom through this screen. Let me show you this. The
0:53:24 > 0:53:33Pope has moved back to Santiago. There are the pictures. That is
0:53:33 > 0:53:39Santiago Cather University, giving another speech. We will keep across
0:53:39 > 0:53:44that for any significant comments. He is there to make a big impact in
0:53:44 > 0:53:49Chile. He has given two major speeches, and this is the third. I
0:53:49 > 0:53:55just want to remind you of what we began with on Outside Source. Over
0:53:55 > 0:53:58the last month we have been talking about gentle warming of relations
0:53:58 > 0:54:01between South and North Korea. We were not really sure where it was
0:54:01 > 0:54:06going. Today we got really significant news, two bits, really.
0:54:06 > 0:54:09One, the North and south Koreans will be putting out a joint women's
0:54:09 > 0:54:14ice hockey team. The last time the north and south put out a team
0:54:14 > 0:54:18together of any sort was at the world table tennis championships in
0:54:18 > 0:54:231991. We might be forgiven for not remembering that, unless you are
0:54:23 > 0:54:26from North or South Korea. Beating the Chinese was a huge event,
0:54:26 > 0:54:34winning together more so. People still remember that. This is the
0:54:34 > 0:54:37outline of North and South Korea together. This is a pro-unification
0:54:37 > 0:54:41flag. We are going to see the athletes from both sides of the
0:54:41 > 0:54:45border coming out into the opening ceremony of the Olympics under this
0:54:45 > 0:54:50flag, not under the national flag. Again, hugely symbolic. We will have
0:54:50 > 0:54:54to see how that translates into relations on the much more difficult
0:54:54 > 0:54:57subject matter of North Korea's Ukip programme. I will see you tomorrow
0:54:57 > 0:55:05at the same time. Goodbye. -- North Korea's nuclear programme.
