0:00:13 > 0:00:16Welcome to Outside Source. Straight to the US, because President Trump
0:00:16 > 0:00:19is saying the Government is on course for a shutdown. He is blaming
0:00:19 > 0:00:24the Democrats. Anthony will take us through it all.
0:00:24 > 0:00:28Britain and France have signed a new treaty to boost border security and
0:00:28 > 0:00:33tackle the migrant issue.The further investment we have agreed
0:00:33 > 0:00:38today will make the UK's borders even more secure.
0:00:38 > 0:00:42A deadly storm caused widespread destruction across north-west
0:00:42 > 0:00:45Europe. We will find out if it is done now with the help of BBC
0:00:45 > 0:00:51weather. Pope Francis has performed a wedding
0:00:51 > 0:00:55ceremony on a flight over Chile. We will hear from one person who was on
0:00:55 > 0:00:56board.
0:01:07 > 0:01:11The deadline to avoid a US Government shutdown is midnight on
0:01:11 > 0:01:15Friday night. What that means is that all nonessential federal
0:01:15 > 0:01:21employees don't report to work. And it does happen. The last one was in
0:01:21 > 0:01:282013. We'll hear from the president first.If the country shuts down,
0:01:28 > 0:01:33which could very well be, the budget should be handled a lot differently
0:01:33 > 0:01:37than it has been in the last long period of time, many years. If for
0:01:37 > 0:01:42any reason it shuts down, the worst thing is what happens to our
0:01:42 > 0:01:46military. We are rebuilding the military, bringing it to a level
0:01:46 > 0:01:51that it's never been at. And the worst thing is for our military. We
0:01:51 > 0:01:55don't want that to happen.That's got more detail from Anthony in
0:01:55 > 0:02:01Washington. -- let's get more detail.Were looking at a short-term
0:02:01 > 0:02:06deal to extend funding into the middle of February. It has the
0:02:06 > 0:02:11passport the House of Representatives and Senate. The
0:02:11 > 0:02:15house can do it on its own because they have a majority. In the Senate,
0:02:15 > 0:02:19it will take democratic help from a handful of Democrats not outright
0:02:19 > 0:02:23blocking it from passage. The bill we are looking at is combining basic
0:02:23 > 0:02:30funding with funding for children's health care, which is something both
0:02:30 > 0:02:33Democrats and Republicans like. Republicans say that as a sweetener
0:02:33 > 0:02:37to win over a few Democrats. Suspension of couple of health care
0:02:37 > 0:02:41taxes as well. The plan for Republicans would be to pass this in
0:02:41 > 0:02:48the house and then jammed the Senate Democrats into voting to pass this
0:02:48 > 0:02:54or block it. Complicating things is the fact that Donald Trump has been
0:02:54 > 0:03:00tweaking things that undermine the health care portion of that
0:03:00 > 0:03:03compromise legislation, and generally not being particularly
0:03:03 > 0:03:08clear on what he wants in any sort of immigration deal. The plan seems
0:03:08 > 0:03:13straightforward, Donald Trump is complicating it a bit.If it were to
0:03:13 > 0:03:16happen, is Donald Trump exaggerating the impact it could have on the
0:03:16 > 0:03:20military?The military stays funded. Soldiers will continue to do their
0:03:20 > 0:03:26work at home and abroad, but where I think Donald Trump is talking about
0:03:26 > 0:03:32this harming the military, some of the civilian support workers may be
0:03:32 > 0:03:37temporarily furloughed. Part of this is the ongoing budget negotiations
0:03:37 > 0:03:41and for a lot of budget hawks want, a significant increase in military
0:03:41 > 0:03:46spending. If they don't get that, as Donald Trump says, it could hurt the
0:03:46 > 0:03:52proposed growth of the US military. Democrats want an increase in social
0:03:52 > 0:03:56spending in addition to military spending. They want to see it on a
0:03:56 > 0:04:00par, whereas Republicans just want an increase in military spending.
0:04:00 > 0:04:04Stay with us, and today, one other thing to ask you about, because
0:04:04 > 0:04:08Donald Trump's ball is back in the news, the one he plans to build
0:04:08 > 0:04:13along the border with Mexico. Listen to John Kelly, White House chief of
0:04:13 > 0:04:18staff, on Fox News.He has adjusted the way he has looked at the South
0:04:18 > 0:04:26Asia strategy, Afghanistan. His attitude towards the Doucoure issue,
0:04:26 > 0:04:30and even the wall. He has evolved in the way he looks at things.
0:04:30 > 0:04:34Campaigning and governing are two different things and this president
0:04:34 > 0:04:38is very flexible in terms of what is in the realm of the possible.The
0:04:38 > 0:04:42president doesn't seem to quite see the same way. He is responding on
0:04:42 > 0:04:52Twitter, almost philosophical:
0:05:06 > 0:05:10Antennae, the president was never going to take kindly to suggestions
0:05:10 > 0:05:23he has moved away from one of his core positions. -- Anthony.He has
0:05:23 > 0:05:28been pushing for it nonstop. I think there are questions about whether he
0:05:28 > 0:05:33has evolved or not. He never said explicitly that the war would go
0:05:33 > 0:05:37from sea to shining sea along the border, although that was included
0:05:37 > 0:05:39in the Republican platform, saying it would go the length of the
0:05:39 > 0:05:45border. There is discussion about whether the wall would be
0:05:45 > 0:05:52see-through in portions or not. He has also changed on how high the
0:05:52 > 0:05:57wall would be, how much money it would cost. But he wants to be seen
0:05:57 > 0:06:01as firm because in the campaign that was a big rallying cry. People loved
0:06:01 > 0:06:05talking about the wall, shouting about how Mexico was going to pay
0:06:05 > 0:06:11for it.Is that clip of President Trump I played earlier was from
0:06:11 > 0:06:16Pennsylvania. The BBC bus by Laura Trevelyan is reporting there, just
0:06:16 > 0:06:23outside of Pittsburgh. -- the BBC's Laura Trevelyan.He is making an
0:06:23 > 0:06:28official visit, but he did give the game away, tweeting from the White
0:06:28 > 0:06:36House, saying he has come here to support the campaign of a local
0:06:36 > 0:06:41politician. There is a special election taking place here because
0:06:41 > 0:06:49of a sex scandal, a Republican standing down, and an election for a
0:06:49 > 0:06:52seed in the US Congress to be held in the middle of March. Donald Trump
0:06:52 > 0:06:58has gone there to campaign for the Republican candidate. This seat
0:06:58 > 0:07:02should be as safe as houses, but the Republicans did lose that Senate
0:07:02 > 0:07:07seat in Alabama in December, so they are taking no chances. Donald Trump
0:07:07 > 0:07:10going there, the White House says, to talk about the economy and tax
0:07:10 > 0:07:16cuts, but also there to campaign for the candidate. The president very
0:07:16 > 0:07:19much not wanting to lose that seat. It has to be said that the polling
0:07:19 > 0:07:24is showing the Republican candidate ahead by 12 points. The Democrats
0:07:24 > 0:07:28are fielding a military veteran, and the Republicans are very anxious
0:07:28 > 0:07:33after this wave of elections in which Democrats have done well.I
0:07:33 > 0:07:37have to ask, where exactly are you? It looks like a big chimney behind
0:07:37 > 0:07:43you.Exactly. I am in western Pennsylvania, in a steel town. This
0:07:43 > 0:07:49is why Donald Trump got to the White House. In places like this, he
0:07:49 > 0:07:54understood the anxiety that people had about a changing America, about
0:07:54 > 0:07:58the fact that the old manufacturing jobs were not there in the same
0:07:58 > 0:08:02number. The steel factory behind me is one that once belonged to Andrew
0:08:02 > 0:08:09Carnegie, the billionaire of 19th-century American who became a
0:08:09 > 0:08:14philanthropist. There are still jobs here, but only a few hundred now,
0:08:14 > 0:08:19compared to the thousands that there were back in the day. Trump rode
0:08:19 > 0:08:25into the White House on that wave of dissatisfaction about globalisation,
0:08:25 > 0:08:27stagnant wages, so this seat that is up for election in March is very
0:08:27 > 0:08:33much his territory. And he is not taking any chances at all, though.
0:08:33 > 0:08:40That is why he has come here to campaign.President Trump loves
0:08:40 > 0:08:44giving the thumbs up, so does President Macron, by the looks of
0:08:44 > 0:08:49things. He has been meeting Theresa May at the Sandhurst military
0:08:49 > 0:08:53Academy, just outside of London. Here are both leaders at the press
0:08:53 > 0:08:56conference they gave earlier.Today we have agreed additional measures
0:08:56 > 0:09:01which will work in the best interests of France and the UK.
0:09:01 > 0:09:06Increasing the effectiveness of our cooperation. We will reinforce the
0:09:06 > 0:09:10security infrastructure with extra CCTV, fencing and infrared
0:09:10 > 0:09:15technology at Calais and other border points.TRANSLATION:Brexit
0:09:15 > 0:09:19will never prevent the very high level of cooperation between our two
0:09:19 > 0:09:23countries. It can bring about some uncertainties in the short-term, but
0:09:23 > 0:09:26I think it is for us to be determined to improve the situation
0:09:26 > 0:09:32on both sides of our borders. In this respect, the summit today has
0:09:32 > 0:09:35demonstrated our common willingness, because like you said, relationship
0:09:35 > 0:09:44is based on geography and history, but it is also rooted in some very
0:09:44 > 0:09:47strong human qualities.Look at the story from the British perspective
0:09:47 > 0:09:54in a moment, but first, a fresh perspective from a journalist in
0:09:54 > 0:09:59Paris.I think this summit is crucial because it may effectively
0:09:59 > 0:10:02be the last one before Brexit, bearing in mind that the summits are
0:10:02 > 0:10:08held every to make years. It comes at such a historical time. And the
0:10:08 > 0:10:14priority that Macron has made throughout the week is to stress the
0:10:14 > 0:10:19fact that he wants the border between Calais and the UK to remain
0:10:19 > 0:10:23as fluid as possible as far as businesses concerned. The related of
0:10:23 > 0:10:28Limerick -- the related issue of immigration when it comes to Calais
0:10:28 > 0:10:31has also been hugely important for Emmanuel Macron, and it has to do
0:10:31 > 0:10:34with the French asking the British to put more money for security
0:10:34 > 0:10:40around Calais, especially for illegal immigrants. They want the
0:10:40 > 0:10:43British to be able to process them quicker, and indeed to police them
0:10:43 > 0:10:53better.Theresa May has announced that there will be extra investment,
0:10:53 > 0:10:57over £40 million, into measures in place in Calais. There is also a
0:10:57 > 0:11:01commitment from the UK to take more migrants who are currently in
0:11:01 > 0:11:06Calais. As I'm sure you know, Calais is a port on the north coast of
0:11:06 > 0:11:09France, and these announcements have not gone down well with the MP who
0:11:09 > 0:11:15serves Dover in the south-east of England. He has taken to Twitter,
0:11:15 > 0:11:36Charlie Elphicke, to say: let's bring in Leila. That tweet
0:11:36 > 0:11:38highlights the delicate line that Theresa May has to walk on this
0:11:38 > 0:11:42issue with her own party.Yes, and I think the border issue between
0:11:42 > 0:11:47Britain and France has been a big one. There has been a sticking point
0:11:47 > 0:11:53about where the responsibilities lie, but there was a keen Theresa
0:11:53 > 0:12:01May and Emmanuel Macron is... Front about this new money that would be
0:12:01 > 0:12:05put in. Theresa May was clear that she thought it would be in both
0:12:05 > 0:12:08countries' interest for that money to be spent. President Macron said
0:12:08 > 0:12:15the border had to be jointly managed, and he didn't see it as a
0:12:15 > 0:12:20gift. There is concern in parts of the Conservative Party saying that
0:12:20 > 0:12:24there is is too much money going in the French direction over the border
0:12:24 > 0:12:27issue. President Macron said he thought the current situation was
0:12:27 > 0:12:32not satisfactory, as he put it, and he wanted migrants waiting in Calais
0:12:32 > 0:12:38to be processed quicker. That's what this new treaty is designed to do.
0:12:38 > 0:12:41And the intelligence services, there has been a lot of speculation around
0:12:41 > 0:12:44Brexit and whether it could impact the way the UK works with members of
0:12:44 > 0:12:49the EU, but we had a big meeting between all five security services
0:12:49 > 0:12:55from each side of the channel.I think it was the first time that all
0:12:55 > 0:12:58five from both sides had sat down round the table together, quite
0:12:58 > 0:13:00something to have those senior figures in one place. Very much,
0:13:00 > 0:13:09that was the message today - there were shared challenges, Corporation
0:13:09 > 0:13:13cooperation would continue. Security and defence matters were also
0:13:13 > 0:13:16highlighted as areas where cooperation is going to continue.
0:13:16 > 0:13:22The purpose of the summit is to stress that the bilateral
0:13:22 > 0:13:24relationship between Britain and France will be strengthened after
0:13:24 > 0:13:27Brexit, and there is more to it than just the relationship that comes
0:13:27 > 0:13:32from the EU at the moment. This was setting the stage, this whole
0:13:32 > 0:13:38summit, both for intelligence matters, the border, and a wide
0:13:38 > 0:13:40range of issues discussed, culturally strange, energy. We know
0:13:40 > 0:13:45the Bayeux tapestry is coming to the UK as well. All of this was designed
0:13:45 > 0:13:49to lay the foundations for a future relationship after Brexit. Of
0:13:49 > 0:13:53course, the tribulations of the negotiations were never really that
0:13:53 > 0:13:59far from the surface. We heard President Macron ruling out
0:13:59 > 0:14:01preferential access for financial services into this single market
0:14:01 > 0:14:06after Brexit. Straight talking from him there. But I think that both
0:14:06 > 0:14:10sides are very clear to stress that this summit was not about Brexit.
0:14:10 > 0:14:13Brexit was not officially on the agenda. This was more about the
0:14:13 > 0:14:17bigger picture, stressing the close alliance Britain and France, that
0:14:17 > 0:14:20both sides say they will continue after Britain leaves the EU.Leila,
0:14:20 > 0:14:28thank you. If you're watching in the UK or Northern Europe, you will know
0:14:28 > 0:14:32all about this. There was wild weather last night. At least five
0:14:32 > 0:14:38people lost their lives across northern Europe. Chris Fawkes at BBC
0:14:38 > 0:14:43weather earlier said he saw winds recorded at over 140 kilometres an
0:14:43 > 0:14:59hour. First, this film from the Hague. Let's move from there to
0:14:59 > 0:15:00nearby Rotterdam.
0:15:11 > 0:15:16Unfortunately, that roof came completely. And then this video from
0:15:16 > 0:15:19a town further south in the Netherlands.
0:15:28 > 0:15:32As you know, the Dutch are integral to the global shipping industry with
0:15:32 > 0:15:36a number of synthetic and ports. Look at all of these shipping
0:15:36 > 0:15:42containers piled up. Foul-mac of five crashing down. The power of
0:15:42 > 0:15:45this wind was absolutely astonishing. We know from dash cam
0:15:45 > 0:15:54footage like this that there were huge problems on the roads as well.
0:15:54 > 0:15:59With car is stationary, a tree comes down. Schiphol airport is one of the
0:15:59 > 0:16:02busiest in Europe, close to Amsterdam. It had to cancel 300
0:16:02 > 0:16:08flights. It wasn't just the Dutch were being affected - the German
0:16:08 > 0:16:13authorities also cancelled many flights, and all long-distance train
0:16:13 > 0:16:16services were cancelled. This storm is moving through Germany towards
0:16:16 > 0:16:25Poland now. Here is Chris Fawkes with more details.This was caused
0:16:25 > 0:16:28by a rapidly deepening area of low pressure. In the systems, pressure
0:16:28 > 0:16:33falls quickly ahead of the storm system, and rises quickly behind it,
0:16:33 > 0:16:39creating this conveyor belt of extremely strong winds that moved
0:16:39 > 0:16:43right across the Netherlands, bringing destruction. The storms
0:16:43 > 0:16:51don't stray the -- don't stay strong for long. The wind starts to spiral
0:16:51 > 0:16:55into the centre of the low pressure, and pressure starts to rise. The
0:16:55 > 0:16:58storm system starts to become less powerful than the wind starts to
0:16:58 > 0:17:03die. The winds gusting at around 100 kilometres an hour in Germany. The
0:17:03 > 0:17:07storm will continue moving to the east across Poland and into Russia,
0:17:07 > 0:17:11where tomorrow it will bring some snow. The winds will cost to 80
0:17:11 > 0:17:17kilometres an hour, a windy day but not damaging one.A quick update on
0:17:17 > 0:17:22the California captive case which we covered earlier in the week. This is
0:17:22 > 0:17:26David and Laura Turpin, who appeared in court today accused of holding
0:17:26 > 0:17:30their 13 malnourished children captive inside their suburban home.
0:17:30 > 0:17:42This came from Reuters a couple of hours ago. I should add, we have
0:17:42 > 0:17:51also been told that bail has been set at $13 million for each of the
0:17:51 > 0:17:55defendants. In a few minutes, we will go back to
0:17:55 > 0:18:00Chile, because the Pope is still there. He married these two flight
0:18:00 > 0:18:05attendants while he was flying up above Chile. We have the full story.
0:18:10 > 0:18:14Emergency hospital consultants in Wales have written to the First
0:18:14 > 0:18:17Minister claiming safety is being compromised to an unacceptable
0:18:17 > 0:18:21degree. The group said they recognised funding constraints but
0:18:21 > 0:18:26said both NHS Wales and the social care sector were severely and
0:18:26 > 0:18:29chronically under resourced. The Welsh Government said it had been
0:18:29 > 0:18:35open about the challenges the winter has brought.That the start of
0:18:35 > 0:18:38window, I said we are better prepared than ever. -- at the start
0:18:38 > 0:18:45of winter. There are spikes in demand and unavoidable pressures.
0:18:45 > 0:18:49There are also pressures that we plan for, and we have seen this.
0:18:49 > 0:18:53When those spikes and unpredictable pressures coming, we don't have
0:18:53 > 0:18:57enough legs ability to deal with them I would like to. I take
0:18:57 > 0:19:02responsibility, which is why there was more money, £50 million,
0:19:02 > 0:19:06available at the start of winter. And in the first week of January, I
0:19:06 > 0:19:10announced £10 million of extra funds to help add the join between health
0:19:10 > 0:19:19and social care. -- to help with the join between health and social care.
0:19:19 > 0:19:24This is Outside Source. Our lead story comes from Washington. The US
0:19:24 > 0:19:26Government is facing a shutdown. The Democrats and Republicans cannot
0:19:26 > 0:19:30agree on funding issues at the moment, but the deadline is not
0:19:30 > 0:19:36until midnight on Friday. Some of the main stories from the
0:19:36 > 0:19:39BBC World Service. Russia has reacted angrily to a law passed by

0:20:03 > 0:20:13is not on the agenda at their meeting.
0:20:13 > 0:20:17Pope Francis ordered his bookmobile to stop. Did you see a policewoman
0:20:17 > 0:20:23falling off her horse as the Pope went past? Pope Francis got down and
0:20:23 > 0:20:27spent several minutes with the woman while she was receiving attention.
0:20:27 > 0:20:31The good news is, she wasn't seriously injured.
0:20:31 > 0:20:35Staying with the Pope's visit to Chile, these two air stewards were
0:20:35 > 0:20:40working on board one of his flights and ended up with quite a surprise.
0:20:40 > 0:20:45They asked if the Pope would bless their marriage, but he went one
0:20:45 > 0:20:49better, performing a midair marriage ceremony. CBS News had a reporter on

0:21:12 > 0:21:15went to the front of the plane to meet with the Pope and have their
0:21:15 > 0:21:18picture taken, he asked if they were married, and they told him their
0:21:18 > 0:21:23story, and the story of the church, so the Pope said, would you like me
0:21:23 > 0:21:27to marry you right here and right now? They were startled but they
0:21:27 > 0:21:33said yes. He then asked them several times, are you sure? And they said,
0:21:33 > 0:21:36yes, we are. Francis blessed the rings the couple were already
0:21:36 > 0:21:41wearing. A cardinal broke the marriage document by hand on airline
0:21:41 > 0:21:45paper, and the Pope signed it. Then he gave the bride and groom
0:21:45 > 0:21:52rosaries, a white one for the bride and a black one for the groom. The
0:21:52 > 0:21:55bride had been the boss of the grim when they met, and the Pope said
0:21:55 > 0:21:59that the husband, is she still the boss? And the husband said, yes, she
0:21:59 > 0:22:07is.Outside Source outline business. I don't know if you have followed
0:22:07 > 0:22:13the saga of Wehr Amazon will set up its new headquarters. We're down to
0:22:13 > 0:22:1920 options, we are told. We will go to New York. Samir Hussein is with
0:22:19 > 0:22:24us. They could turn this into a reality show!It has been huge news
0:22:24 > 0:22:28since it was announced by Amazon Go they were looking to open another
0:22:28 > 0:22:31headquarters, because they will soon grow out of the cover and place in
0:22:31 > 0:22:39Seattle. You had 238 different cities, from Canada, the US and
0:22:39 > 0:22:43Mexico, really submit their bids to Amazon, trying to convince them to
0:22:43 > 0:22:47bring their business and bring their headquarters to their city. This
0:22:47 > 0:22:53long-awaited short list has finally come out, and there were some on the
0:22:53 > 0:22:58list that were pretty typical, that many people expected. But there are
0:22:58 > 0:23:05still some unexpected cities that made the list. Montgomery County in
0:23:05 > 0:23:10Maryland is one of them, and Toronto, Canada is another that many
0:23:10 > 0:23:15didn't necessarily expect.What are Amazon's criteria here? Cabbie told
0:23:15 > 0:23:21us?They set out a bunch of criteria. -- have they told us? This
0:23:21 > 0:23:24city needs to have at least 1 million people and needs to be able
0:23:24 > 0:23:28to attract a lot of tech. It needs a good school system and an
0:23:28 > 0:23:33International Airport. Those were among the qualities. When you talk
0:23:33 > 0:23:38about is a city like Toronto, it meets those criteria are absolutely.
0:23:38 > 0:23:42Why is this particular city so interesting, though? Imagine that
0:23:42 > 0:23:49President Trump has put out this tax reform Bill, and it is trying to
0:23:49 > 0:23:52encourage more American companies to build in the US and bring jobs back
0:23:52 > 0:23:57to the United States, so it is interesting that Jeff Bezos, who
0:23:57 > 0:24:03also owns the Washington Post, which has met the ire of Donald Trump,
0:24:03 > 0:24:11could put it in a Canadian city, outside of the top 20, on its list.
0:24:11 > 0:24:15I don't know if it is just me, but I associate Amazon with the north-west
0:24:15 > 0:24:19of America. But it doesn't sound like that will be an issue in this
0:24:19 > 0:24:24decision.There is only really one west Coast city that made the list,
0:24:24 > 0:24:31and that is Los Angeles. We have seen that Jeff Bezos wanted to be
0:24:31 > 0:24:37able to create a headquarters that was on the eastern side of the US,
0:24:37 > 0:24:42which is why you see a lot of places like New York City's, Newark, New
0:24:42 > 0:24:47Jersey, which offered a lot of tax incentives, Montgomery County, and
0:24:47 > 0:24:58other cities.Thank you very much. Let's talk about the A380, the
0:24:58 > 0:25:01world's biggest yet. We talked earlier about the pressure it was
0:25:01 > 0:25:06under. A lifeline has arrived from Emirates airline. The biggest
0:25:06 > 0:25:11passenger jet in the world has got a substantial new order, and it needed
0:25:11 > 0:25:18that. Otherwise, its future looked uncertain. 36 is the maximum is this
0:25:18 > 0:25:22order could reach, with a guaranteed minimum of 20, enough to keep the
0:25:22 > 0:25:32production line viable. Let's quickly talk about China. Its
0:25:32 > 0:25:35economy grew faster than expected in the last three months of the year.
0:25:35 > 0:25:40For the whole of 2017, growth was at 6.9%. The Government's target was
0:25:40 > 0:25:506.5%. If you want more details on the Chinese economy, you can find it
0:25:50 > 0:25:54online at BBC .com/ news. Click on world then Asia, and you will find
0:25:54 > 0:25:58it there. I will see you in a couple of minutes.
0:26:09 > 0:26:14Thanks for joining me. We will give you a flavour of the UK weather in
0:26:14 > 0:26:18the days to come in a moment. First, I want to take you across the world.
0:26:18 > 0:26:22We will start somewhere a little warmer than the British Isles, and
0:26:22 > 0:26:27that is Melbourne. 39 Celsius on Friday, we suspect. But that is set
0:26:27 > 0:26:33to change quite markedly. Warm for the tennis players in the short term
0:26:33 > 0:26:39until this little tale of cloud flicks its way through the Melbourne
0:26:39 > 0:26:51area, and suddenly we have lost 15 or 16 degrees. The direction of wind
0:26:51 > 0:26:55is all important at the moment across Asia. The north-easterly
0:26:55 > 0:26:59monsoon is bringing a lot of rain to southern parts of the Philippines,
0:26:59 > 0:27:03across Indonesia and into the eastern side of Malaysia. A cool
0:27:03 > 0:27:08northerly wind is bringing cold air from the North is pulling
0:27:08 > 0:27:17temperatures down in Tokyo. Looking further south, sunshine is in short
0:27:17 > 0:27:26supply whilst tropical cyclone has been close to Mauritius, bringing
0:27:26 > 0:27:32wet and windy weather there. It will be passed reunion within 24 hours
0:27:32 > 0:27:36before the whole system dragged its way down into the Southern oceans.
0:27:36 > 0:27:40That should be the last we see of it, but it leaves behind the
0:27:40 > 0:27:44possibility of intensified rain across Madagascar, and across the
0:27:44 > 0:27:47Atlantic Ocean. To the south of that, where we expect to see rain in
0:27:47 > 0:27:51the rainy season at this time of year, the rain has been somewhat
0:27:51 > 0:27:55below par, to say the least, and concerns are growing in some of the
0:27:55 > 0:28:01Southern African states. No shortage of wind and rain with the European
0:28:01 > 0:28:08storm. It was named in a number of countries. There was widespread
0:28:08 > 0:28:12disruption, with gusts of over 140 kilometres per hour. That system is
0:28:12 > 0:28:16tracking through the heart of Germany, moving to Poland on Friday,
0:28:16 > 0:28:20on its way to the southern Baltic states, the western side of Russia
0:28:20 > 0:28:25and the northern parts of Ukraine. Behind it, there is a cool run of
0:28:25 > 0:28:34north-westerly winds. Temperatures in single figures, if not below
0:28:34 > 0:28:38zero. In fact, widely across Europe at the moment, there is little heat
0:28:38 > 0:28:42to speak of. We're not quite done yet with the combination of wet and
0:28:42 > 0:28:46windy weather, because this system will die away just in time for the
0:28:46 > 0:28:51weekend to bring more wet and windy weather and some snow led to the
0:28:51 > 0:28:54Alpine region. You don't have to go that far for snow and ice, because
0:28:54 > 0:28:58there could well be more here in the British Isles. More details in a few
0:28:58 > 0:29:01minutes.
0:30:12 > 0:30:17Hello I'm Ross Atkins with Outside Source, these are the pain stories
0:30:17 > 0:30:24on the BBC News. Donald Trump is blaming the
0:30:24 > 0:30:28Democrats for wanting to undermine his economic successes.
0:30:28 > 0:30:34One year on from the US presidential election, we are back in Detroit to
0:30:34 > 0:30:38see if Trump supporters are happy with the decision that they made.
0:30:38 > 0:30:43Turkey is moving troops close to the border with Syria, we examine why
0:30:43 > 0:30:44and what it means for the
0:30:45 > 0:30:47border with Syria, we examine why and what it means for the region. If
0:30:47 > 0:31:06you have questions on the stories we are covering, BBC OS is the hashtag.
0:31:06 > 0:31:10Well, this moment, Donald Trump can being President of America is very
0:31:10 > 0:31:14nearly one year ago. Next on Outside Source we hear an assessment of how
0:31:14 > 0:31:19he's done from the people of Michigan. This is a state that had
0:31:19 > 0:31:23not voted Republican in a presidential election for 30 years
0:31:23 > 0:31:27but it went for Trump in 2016. It was crucial to help him get to the
0:31:27 > 0:31:35White House. The economic decline in Detroit,
0:31:35 > 0:31:39America's motorcity, came to symbolise an America that the voters
0:31:39 > 0:31:44felt had been left be mind by the politicians. When I came here two
0:31:44 > 0:31:49years ago, Donald Trump was not the Republican canicate but the win in
0:31:49 > 0:31:53the Michigan primary propelled him all the way to the White House. When
0:31:53 > 0:31:58I came here then, I met a man named Rich Be a by. A union member, signed
0:31:58 > 0:32:03up to the Trump train early on. Kitsch rich, how are you?Doing
0:32:03 > 0:32:08wonderful. How does he feel a year into the
0:32:08 > 0:32:12presidency?I am happy with the results, not least with the economy
0:32:12 > 0:32:17and he is the reason things are turning around. He has played a part
0:32:17 > 0:32:22in it. If somebody is doing the job I want him to do, I don't care how
0:32:22 > 0:32:25mouthy they are, as long as they are doing the job.
0:32:25 > 0:32:32The language he used the other day was highly offensive and some people
0:32:32 > 0:32:37deemed it racist?That doesn't have anything to do with it. If I thought
0:32:37 > 0:32:43he was a racist, I would tell you he was a turkey. But I don't feel he is
0:32:43 > 0:32:46honestly racist. How many of you would vote for
0:32:46 > 0:32:50Donald Trump again. These women are setting sights on
0:32:50 > 0:32:53re-electing Donald Trump for a second term.
0:32:53 > 0:32:58When I supported Donald Trump, it had nothing to do with is this a
0:32:58 > 0:33:03good man to date my daughter or have as the Pastor of my church? We
0:33:03 > 0:33:08supported him as he was a strong man, he promised to drain the swamp.
0:33:08 > 0:33:12That is what he is doing. We are not expecting him to be perfect.
0:33:12 > 0:33:17Do you think he should be more careful in how he says things?I do.
0:33:17 > 0:33:21I don't think it helps the image. But he said what half of the country
0:33:21 > 0:33:28thinks. I met Ben Sykes after Donald Trump
0:33:28 > 0:33:32won the election in 2016. He was building houses on the street. He is
0:33:32 > 0:33:38still working here. Your hat says: Make America great
0:33:38 > 0:33:44again. Do you think Donald Trump has fulfilled the promise yet?I think
0:33:44 > 0:33:48he is on the way to fulfilling it. He will move forward if you don't
0:33:48 > 0:33:53agree with the guy you have to respect him. He's, to a certain
0:33:53 > 0:33:57degree, anyway, he is not afraid to speak his mind. He will say what he
0:33:57 > 0:34:01thinks. I mean, to some people it is
0:34:01 > 0:34:04inappropriate. But at least you know where he is coming from.
0:34:04 > 0:34:12In the past year I have spoken to Trump supporters across America,
0:34:12 > 0:34:16sharing a similar dissent to those I have spoken to in Detroit. They may
0:34:16 > 0:34:21not like his tweets, language or style of govern but as long as the
0:34:21 > 0:34:24economy is doing well and there is mob in their pockets, they will
0:34:24 > 0:34:30continue to stick with him. And there is more on Donald Trump's
0:34:30 > 0:34:35first year as President on BBC, TV, radio and online and via the BBC
0:34:35 > 0:34:41News app as well. This is the message that has gone from
0:34:41 > 0:34:45Turkisha's government to Turkey today.
0:34:45 > 0:34:53TRANSLATION: We warn the Turkish leadership if they initiate combat
0:34:53 > 0:35:01operations in the area, that will be considered a move of aggression.
0:35:01 > 0:35:05Now there are a lot of elements to the story. Let's take you through
0:35:05 > 0:35:09them. We know that the Turkish forces are poised on the border
0:35:09 > 0:35:15between Turkey and Syria. Their focus is Afrin. It is a place in the
0:35:15 > 0:35:21north of Syria. It is controlled mainly by Syrian/Kurdish fighters,
0:35:21 > 0:35:25Turkey says that they are terrorists. Because of that we are
0:35:25 > 0:35:32seeing a lot of military activity in the Turkish areas of Hatay, close to
0:35:32 > 0:35:41Afrin. My colleagues sent us this video to use that shows the military
0:35:41 > 0:35:46activity, the army is reportedly opening gaps in the border fence
0:35:46 > 0:35:54west of Afrin. We saw this from the UK-based Syrian observatory for
0:35:54 > 0:36:01human rights it is reporting that there are targets close to Afrin on
0:36:01 > 0:36:06the border close to Turkey. And Turkey has held talks with Russia,
0:36:06 > 0:36:10seeking apreviously of any air operation it may carry out.
0:36:10 > 0:36:16We can get more on this. The military experts in Turkey says
0:36:16 > 0:36:22that in an operation against a Syrian Kurdish town of Afrin Turkey
0:36:22 > 0:36:26needs to use the air space otherwise it is too risky for the Turkish
0:36:26 > 0:36:32troops to go in. If they say that Turkey is able to use the air space,
0:36:32 > 0:36:37if Russia gives the backing, answer the Afrin operation could be over in
0:36:37 > 0:36:41day. Otherwise it could turn into a nightmare. That is the opinion,
0:36:41 > 0:36:44Russia must back the operation. That is why the Russian stance is
0:36:44 > 0:36:50crucial. In the meantime, there is a deployment of the Turkish troops and
0:36:50 > 0:36:55tanks along the border. Today a dozen gaps have been opened at the
0:36:55 > 0:37:00border, which is another sign that an operation against Afrin could be
0:37:00 > 0:37:05happening at any moment. Now the Americans are an element of
0:37:05 > 0:37:11this story too. Earlier in the week we reported that the US was planning
0:37:11 > 0:37:15a 30,000-strong Border Force in northern Syria, that it would
0:37:15 > 0:37:20involve Kurdish fighters. If you saw Outside Source earlier in the week
0:37:20 > 0:37:25you would have seen the Turkish officials furious with the
0:37:25 > 0:37:31announcement. But the US Secretary of State is saying that an American
0:37:31 > 0:37:36official misspoke on the matter. And while that is not the plan there
0:37:36 > 0:37:41will be troops from the US cruelly on the ground in some form. Here is
0:37:41 > 0:37:46the statement from Rex Tillerson. The United States will maintain a
0:37:46 > 0:37:50military presence in Syria, focussing on ensuring Isis cannot
0:37:50 > 0:37:56re-emerge. The military in Syria is conditions based. We cannot make the
0:37:56 > 0:38:02same mistakes made in 2011 when a premature departure from Iraq
0:38:02 > 0:38:08allowed Al-Qaeda and Iraq to survive and morph into Isis.
0:38:08 > 0:38:12Now perhaps not unreasonably Turkey is accusing the US of mixed
0:38:12 > 0:38:17messages. Turkey is not impressed. The Turkish
0:38:17 > 0:38:22Foreign Minister said that he was not satisfied with the explanations
0:38:22 > 0:38:30and that they expected solid steps coming from Washington like this,
0:38:30 > 0:38:36arming of the Kurdish forces for instance, which they say is a pledge
0:38:36 > 0:38:44given from Washington to Ankara. Kurdish YPG forces is an extension
0:38:44 > 0:38:51of the Kurdish PKK group, leading an insurgent in Turkey for over three
0:38:51 > 0:38:57decades and whom the US consider a terrorist organisation, and thus why
0:38:57 > 0:39:02Turkey says why PG should be considered a terrorist organisation
0:39:02 > 0:39:09and Ankara considers this is national security threat. The US's
0:39:09 > 0:39:15announcement, the first announcement that Rex Tillerson said was a
0:39:15 > 0:39:21misportrayal of the border security force was probably the main reason
0:39:21 > 0:39:28that Turkish decided to embark on an operation against Afrin. Now the US
0:39:28 > 0:39:36has said that Turkey scale back, which is pleasing Ankara but Ankara
0:39:36 > 0:39:42is not yet satisfied. Lots more background on that
0:39:42 > 0:39:47conflict and how Turkey fits into it online.
0:39:47 > 0:39:55BBC.com/news is the address. Or download the BBC News app with
0:39:55 > 0:40:00either an Apple or Android phone. Download that for lots of
0:40:00 > 0:40:04information on the stories that we are covering on Outside Source.
0:40:04 > 0:40:10Now, let's stay with a story that we have covered a couple of times.
0:40:10 > 0:40:14Scientific research into temperature. We are being told that
0:40:14 > 0:40:172017 was the hottest on record. Scientists are saying for the first
0:40:17 > 0:40:26time that this is because of man-made factors like CO2 emissions,
0:40:26 > 0:40:31more than natural reasons. Not just hot but extreme. The US authorities
0:40:31 > 0:40:39High Streeting the extreme weather events, hurricanes Irma and others
0:40:39 > 0:40:45in the Caribbean. Roger Harrabin can tell us more. Last year's wild fires
0:40:45 > 0:40:50in California, not caused by man made climate change but likely
0:40:50 > 0:40:55influenced by high temperatures drying out parched land. Followed by
0:40:55 > 0:40:58the mud landslides, an unusual combination of heat and extreme
0:40:58 > 0:41:03rain. Scientists are more confident than ever that CO2 emissions are the
0:41:03 > 0:41:09main thing heating the planet. They are informed by the graph of global
0:41:09 > 0:41:14temperatures in 1988 a spike of warming, thanks to the El Nino
0:41:14 > 0:41:21heating current. 7058 Celsius above normal. Beaten in the El Nino years
0:41:21 > 0:41:31of 2015 and 2016 with a high of 1.11 Celsius above normal. Last year, was
0:41:31 > 0:41:35nearly 1 Celsius above normal but crucially, no El Nino.
0:41:35 > 0:41:39What is remarkable about the figures is that these are the warmest
0:41:39 > 0:41:44temperatures we have seen without the influence of the natural El Nino
0:41:44 > 0:41:50climate phenomena. It shows that the influences of the human activity
0:41:50 > 0:41:55through emissions of greenhouse gases are dwarfing the natural
0:41:55 > 0:41:58climate processes associated with El Nino.
0:41:58 > 0:42:07What about the snow on the East Coast, which prompted rum Donald
0:42:07 > 0:42:13Trump to tweet: We need some of that weather here.
0:42:13 > 0:42:18Had you ever care Harvey, the most certain outcome of climate change as
0:42:18 > 0:42:22the planet keeps on warming. And on Outside Source a report on
0:42:22 > 0:42:29modern slavery in the UK. Often a hidden problem but one that can be
0:42:29 > 0:42:35found in towns and cities all over the country. For the past year the
0:42:35 > 0:42:39Co-op has been piloting the first of its kind giving paid work experience
0:42:39 > 0:42:45to more than 30 victims of slavery. More than a dozen businesses have
0:42:45 > 0:42:49been meeting to discuss how they can get involved.
0:42:49 > 0:42:53Before my life was very bad. I have not have a chance for the future.
0:42:53 > 0:43:00Now it is very nice. It is great. I'm very happy.Peter is a
0:43:00 > 0:43:04survivoring of modern slavery, one of 12 to have been placed in safe,
0:43:04 > 0:43:08secure work by the Co-op. Like thousands before him, Peter came
0:43:08 > 0:43:12from Romania for a new life. I was looking for a job.
0:43:12 > 0:43:18And to be happy?Yes. But 12 hours days were spent cold
0:43:18 > 0:43:23and wet working in a car wash without pay. He was held prisoner,
0:43:23 > 0:43:27allowed out to open fake bank accounts for his captors. Do you
0:43:27 > 0:43:32feel scared of these men?Yes, very scared. It is very dangerous, these
0:43:32 > 0:43:37people. Very, very aggressive. Telling you that they will kill you.
0:43:37 > 0:43:44His room was guarded but Peter escaped when the gang got drunk.
0:43:44 > 0:43:48Now I remember this. Your heart beats fast remembering?
0:43:48 > 0:43:53Very, very. From living in a safe house to a
0:43:53 > 0:43:57safe job. Here at the Co-op they are offering survivors a new start.
0:43:57 > 0:44:02When they go into the workplace it is just the store manager or the
0:44:02 > 0:44:06line manager who knows that they are a modern slave victim and it is
0:44:06 > 0:44:09confident shall. What are the challenges you face in
0:44:09 > 0:44:18ensuring this works?They don't have driver's licences or bank accounts,
0:44:18 > 0:44:22the formal things thankfully with have, so we have adapted HR policies
0:44:22 > 0:44:27to deal with that. In our communities now, there are an
0:44:27 > 0:44:32estimated 13,000 modern slaves as they often disappear, that number
0:44:32 > 0:44:38could be higher. When survivors are discovered or escape, they are
0:44:38 > 0:44:43deeply traumatised. They could be having panic attacks or have no
0:44:43 > 0:44:48trust in the police. Sunday Times the sense of trust is eroded so they
0:44:48 > 0:44:52are suspicious of any support on offer. It makes the scale of the
0:44:52 > 0:44:58challenge even greater. Today this charity alongside the
0:44:58 > 0:45:03Co-op is meeting a dozen businesses hoping to meet more survivors.
0:45:03 > 0:45:08As a business, we love hearing, when a business, when they have a heart,
0:45:08 > 0:45:12that this will help so many survivors, people who have been the
0:45:12 > 0:45:16most vulnerable, the most exploited, it is setting them up for a new
0:45:16 > 0:45:19start. Why do you like the job?It is nice
0:45:19 > 0:45:24people. The manager is great. I love my job.
0:45:24 > 0:45:28Peter is a man excited about his future. He is about to take his
0:45:28 > 0:45:34girlfriend on holiday. The basic freedom that now means the world.
0:45:34 > 0:45:39Nina Warhurst, BBC News. Now a health story being covered
0:45:39 > 0:45:45today. Doctors in the UK want all women to be tested for what is known
0:45:45 > 0:45:49as the Angelina Jolie gene. A mutation of two genes that increase
0:45:49 > 0:45:58the chances of developing cancer. As I am sure you know, Angelina Jolie
0:45:58 > 0:46:03had it arched had two breasts removed as a preventive measure.
0:46:03 > 0:46:09Women are tested if the cancer runs in the family but researchers want
0:46:09 > 0:46:15to do is test all women. They claim it could prevent 82,000 cases of
0:46:15 > 0:46:20breast and ovarian cancer and save over 12,000 lives, this is for the
0:46:20 > 0:46:22UK alone. Our reporter has been telling us
0:46:22 > 0:46:28more. So, they are called the bracha one
0:46:28 > 0:46:33and two, inherited from your parents. They are a suppressor. So
0:46:33 > 0:46:39we have the genes but with a mutation it stops the ability it
0:46:39 > 0:46:44stops the ability to suppress and to prevent the body interest repairing
0:46:44 > 0:46:49DNA. In terms of every woman in the country being screened, it sounds
0:46:49 > 0:46:56like a huge under taking?It is. So at the moment they scene people with
0:46:56 > 0:47:00a family history of breast cancer but other research said that they
0:47:00 > 0:47:07could miss up to 50% of people with the mutation. So they looked at what
0:47:07 > 0:47:11would happen if they screened everybody in the UK and the US, all
0:47:11 > 0:47:16women above the age of 30. In the UK, 27 million, in the US, up to 100
0:47:16 > 0:47:22million. They looked at whether or not it was cost effective and it if
0:47:22 > 0:47:25could be effective in terms of preventing cancers and saving lives.
0:47:25 > 0:47:33It was. Here in the UK we could save up to 13,000 lives and it is
0:47:33 > 0:47:36effective costwise. Are there arguments against it?
0:47:36 > 0:47:41There are. If you think of the turmoil for the women to have to go
0:47:41 > 0:47:45through this, that takes its toll. So the other factor is if you think
0:47:45 > 0:47:50of basically, they say that breast cancer, that having the mutation it
0:47:50 > 0:47:54could increase the risk from between 40 and 90% but it is a huge
0:47:54 > 0:48:02difference. So it is another conin terms of everyone doing it. Another
0:48:02 > 0:48:07it is based on modelling, so the research says that 70% of women
0:48:07 > 0:48:12would take up the genetic testing, that is a guess, so they would have
0:48:12 > 0:48:17to do more large-scale studies to test it on women and see if
0:48:17 > 0:48:19figures pan out. Is it going to happen? At the moment
0:48:19 > 0:48:23it is a group of doctors saying it is a good idea, a long way from the
0:48:23 > 0:48:27government policy?The UK Government are excited by the results and will
0:48:27 > 0:48:33look at them with interest. So we will see. But there is a lot of
0:48:33 > 0:48:36cancer researchers and different groups like breast cancer now who
0:48:36 > 0:48:41are excited about it and want to potentially make a change.
0:48:41 > 0:48:46And a report on an exhibit opening in Washington to highlight the deep
0:48:46 > 0:48:49connection between the American Indians and America's identity. Here
0:48:49 > 0:48:59it is.
0:49:08 > 0:49:13all around us. This exhibition asks the question why and seeks to
0:49:13 > 0:49:18separate the myth from the reality. It takes stories we think we know
0:49:18 > 0:49:23from the roots of Thanksgiving Days to the battle of little big horn and
0:49:23 > 0:49:27invites the visitors to rethink America's tangled and conflicted
0:49:27 > 0:49:31relationship with American Indians. The problem is that people think it
0:49:31 > 0:49:36does not have to do with them it is located in the past. So the look of
0:49:36 > 0:49:40the gallery is contemporary. We are trying to say this is not over. This
0:49:40 > 0:49:46is part of your life. Part of the American national identity.Given
0:49:46 > 0:49:53the you bick witty of Indian imagery it could be hard to believe that the
0:49:53 > 0:50:00country was once imagined without its Native American Indians.
0:50:00 > 0:50:07Did you know that more Indians were removed about I boat than wagon more
0:50:07 > 0:50:11than 380 died when this steam ship capsized.
0:50:11 > 0:50:17When a culture thinks of itself, it is evolving. The existence of the
0:50:17 > 0:50:23museum, that the congress chose to establish it, is a signal, that they
0:50:23 > 0:50:26are ready, they have asked us to tell these stories in our way from
0:50:26 > 0:50:34our perspective. That is a very mature thing for our country to do.
0:50:34 > 0:50:38In the 20th century, advertisers began exploiting American Indian
0:50:38 > 0:50:42images as the US transformed into a consumer economy. The myth of the
0:50:42 > 0:50:46American West and the pioneer spirit that and ants represented became a
0:50:46 > 0:50:54great way to sell things. Listen to the description of the checky chief.
0:50:54 > 0:50:59The cheer is standing high, wild and handsome with flared fenders, we are
0:50:59 > 0:51:02talking about a car, for goodness' sake.
0:51:02 > 0:51:06It was detrimental as it froze the American Indians in the past. As you
0:51:06 > 0:51:14can see around the gallery, these are images of 19th century Indians.
0:51:14 > 0:51:20It has had a hugely harmful effect on American Indians as their
0:51:20 > 0:51:23contemporary lives are not appreciated.
0:51:23 > 0:51:29And that's the ultimate aim of this exhibition, that the visitors leave
0:51:29 > 0:51:33with a better awareness of the images that surround them and a new
0:51:33 > 0:51:39way of seeing them. Well, every edition of Outside Source we promise
0:51:39 > 0:51:43you the best of the BBC's journalism and the biggest stories from the
0:51:43 > 0:51:49world. Let's turn to Zimbabwe. The Zimbabwe wants could be having an
0:51:49 > 0:51:54election sooner than expected. This is the Zimbabwe Herald, reporting
0:51:54 > 0:51:58that the President there is saying that the election could happen as
0:51:58 > 0:52:03early as May. When it does, it will be significant as it is the first
0:52:03 > 0:52:08election that the Zimbabwe wants have had without Robert Mugabe on
0:52:08 > 0:52:11the ballot since independence in 1980.
0:52:11 > 0:52:17Our correspondent is in Harare in Zimbabwe. Here are her thoughts.
0:52:17 > 0:52:22During the visit to Mozambique, the President was quoted as saying that
0:52:22 > 0:52:25the elections would be held by June, earlier than the institution
0:52:25 > 0:52:32requires and puts paid to reports that political parties including his
0:52:32 > 0:52:36own ruling ZANU-PF party had wanted to post pane the elections by a few
0:52:36 > 0:52:41years. The reality is that the President cannot afford not to hold
0:52:41 > 0:52:48elections. He took over power in November that deprived him of the
0:52:48 > 0:52:52legitimacy he is seeking in the eyes of the international community. The
0:52:52 > 0:52:55President acknowledged that Zimbabwe needs free elections to engage with
0:52:55 > 0:53:01the rest of the world as a qualified democratic state. This is important
0:53:01 > 0:53:03for the country looking
0:53:03 > 0:53:05investment, specifically from western countries.
0:53:05 > 0:53:14Now, I wonder if you saw this video on the BBC News app? Two-for-one
0:53:14 > 0:53:17teenage boys, they are in trouble in the sea in Australia. They are about
0:53:17 > 0:53:21to be rescued with the help of a drone. Something that has never
0:53:21 > 0:53:26happened before. Here is a yellow parcel dropped by a drone. The drone
0:53:26 > 0:53:32is guided by the Life Guards on the shore. It is an inflatable rescue
0:53:32 > 0:53:38pod. As we play the video it expands the moment it hits the water and the
0:53:38 > 0:53:46two boys head towards it. Now, why this works, they grab hold of it, a
0:53:46 > 0:53:50wave comes in, by holding on to the aid this are washed up to the shore.
0:53:50 > 0:53:59The process of getting them help took 70 seconds, an improvement on
0:53:59 > 0:54:07what a human being could do. This happened in Lennox Head. 90 people
0:54:07 > 0:54:12drowned in New South Wales last year. And this drone is part of a
0:54:12 > 0:54:14bigger push to use drones in life saving.
0:54:14 > 0:54:18I want to talk about this. Again about Australia, again about
0:54:18 > 0:54:22coastguards and drones, they are using it to check for sharks. Have a
0:54:22 > 0:54:27look at this video. You can see how the drone, going out over the surf
0:54:27 > 0:54:33is able to identify and I'm sure you can identify as you watch, not only
0:54:33 > 0:54:37sharks but surfers and dolphins that gives them a more detailed picture
0:54:37 > 0:54:42of what is happening in the sea. If they spot a shark they can act more
0:54:42 > 0:54:46quickly in getting the information to surfers and getting them out of
0:54:46 > 0:54:51harm's way. That is the last story on today's Outside Source. The last
0:54:51 > 0:54:55story of the week, in fact. Thank you very much for watching. We will
0:54:55 > 0:55:05see you next week with the biggest global stories. Goodbye.
