18/01/2018 Outside Source

Welcome to Outside Source. Straight

to the US, because President Trump

is saying the Government is on

course for a shutdown. He is blaming

the Democrats. Anthony will take us

through it all.

Britain and France have signed a new

treaty to boost border security and

tackle the migrant issue.

The

further investment we have agreed

today will make the UK's borders

even more secure.

A deadly storm caused widespread

destruction across north-west

Europe. We will find out if it is

done now with the help of BBC

weather.

Pope Francis has performed a wedding

ceremony on a flight over Chile. We

will hear from one person who was on

board.

The deadline to avoid a US

Government shutdown is midnight on

Friday night. What that means is

that all nonessential federal

employees don't report to work. And

it does happen. The last one was in

2013. We'll hear from the president

first.

If the country shuts down,

which could very well be, the budget

should be handled a lot differently

than it has been in the last long

period of time, many years. If for

any reason it shuts down, the worst

thing is what happens to our

military. We are rebuilding the

military, bringing it to a level

that it's never been at. And the

worst thing is for our military. We

don't want that to happen.

That's

got more detail from Anthony in

Washington. -- let's get more

detail.

Were looking at a short-term

deal to extend funding into the

middle of February. It has the

passport the House of

Representatives and Senate. The

house can do it on its own because

they have a majority. In the Senate,

it will take democratic help from a

handful of Democrats not outright

blocking it from passage. The bill

we are looking at is combining basic

funding with funding for children's

health care, which is something both

Democrats and Republicans like.

Republicans say that as a sweetener

to win over a few Democrats.

Suspension of couple of health care

taxes as well. The plan for

Republicans would be to pass this in

the house and then jammed the Senate

Democrats into voting to pass this

or block it. Complicating things is

the fact that Donald Trump has been

tweaking things that undermine the

health care portion of that

compromise legislation, and

generally not being particularly

clear on what he wants in any sort

of immigration deal. The plan seems

straightforward, Donald Trump is

complicating it a bit.

If it were to

happen, is Donald Trump exaggerating

the impact it could have on the

military?

The military stays funded.

Soldiers will continue to do their

work at home and abroad, but where I

think Donald Trump is talking about

this harming the military, some of

the civilian support workers may be

temporarily furloughed. Part of this

is the ongoing budget negotiations

and for a lot of budget hawks want,

a significant increase in military

spending. If they don't get that, as

Donald Trump says, it could hurt the

proposed growth of the US military.

Democrats want an increase in social

spending in addition to military

spending. They want to see it on a

par, whereas Republicans just want

an increase in military spending.

Stay with us, and today, one other

thing to ask you about, because

Donald Trump's ball is back in the

news, the one he plans to build

along the border with Mexico. Listen

to John Kelly, White House chief of

staff, on Fox News.

He has adjusted

the way he has looked at the South

Asia strategy, Afghanistan. His

attitude towards the Doucoure issue,

and even the wall. He has evolved in

the way he looks at things.

Campaigning and governing are two

different things and this president

is very flexible in terms of what is

in the realm of the possible.

The

president doesn't seem to quite see

the same way. He is responding on

Twitter, almost philosophical:

Antennae, the president was never

going to take kindly to suggestions

he has moved away from one of his

core positions. -- Anthony.

He has

been pushing for it nonstop. I think

there are questions about whether he

has evolved or not. He never said

explicitly that the war would go

from sea to shining sea along the

border, although that was included

in the Republican platform, saying

it would go the length of the

border. There is discussion about

whether the wall would be

see-through in portions or not. He

has also changed on how high the

wall would be, how much money it

would cost. But he wants to be seen

as firm because in the campaign that

was a big rallying cry. People loved

talking about the wall, shouting

about how Mexico was going to pay

for it.

Is that clip of President

Trump I played earlier was from

Pennsylvania. The BBC bus by Laura

Trevelyan is reporting there, just

outside of Pittsburgh. -- the BBC's

Laura Trevelyan.

He is making an

official visit, but he did give the

game away, tweeting from the White

House, saying he has come here to

support the campaign of a local

politician. There is a special

election taking place here because

of a sex scandal, a Republican

standing down, and an election for a

seed in the US Congress to be held

in the middle of March. Donald Trump

has gone there to campaign for the

Republican candidate. This seat

should be as safe as houses, but the

Republicans did lose that Senate

seat in Alabama in December, so they

are taking no chances. Donald Trump

going there, the White House says,

to talk about the economy and tax

cuts, but also there to campaign for

the candidate. The president very

much not wanting to lose that seat.

It has to be said that the polling

is showing the Republican candidate

ahead by 12 points. The Democrats

are fielding a military veteran, and

the Republicans are very anxious

after this wave of elections in

which Democrats have done well.

I

have to ask, where exactly are you?

It looks like a big chimney behind

you.

Exactly. I am in western

Pennsylvania, in a steel town. This

is why Donald Trump got to the White

House. In places like this, he

understood the anxiety that people

had about a changing America, about

the fact that the old manufacturing

jobs were not there in the same

number. The steel factory behind me

is one that once belonged to Andrew

Carnegie, the billionaire of

19th-century American who became a

philanthropist. There are still jobs

here, but only a few hundred now,

compared to the thousands that there

were back in the day. Trump rode

into the White House on that wave of

dissatisfaction about globalisation,

stagnant wages, so this seat that is

up for election in March is very

much his territory. And he is not

taking any chances at all, though.

That is why he has come here to

campaign.

President Trump loves

giving the thumbs up, so does

President Macron, by the looks of

things. He has been meeting Theresa

May at the Sandhurst military

Academy, just outside of London.

Here are both leaders at the press

conference they gave earlier.

Today

we have agreed additional measures

which will work in the best

interests of France and the UK.

Increasing the effectiveness of our

cooperation. We will reinforce the

security infrastructure with extra

CCTV, fencing and infrared

technology at Calais and other

border points.

TRANSLATION:

Brexit

will never prevent the very high

level of cooperation between our two

countries. It can bring about some

uncertainties in the short-term, but

I think it is for us to be

determined to improve the situation

on both sides of our borders. In

this respect, the summit today has

demonstrated our common willingness,

because like you said, relationship

is based on geography and history,

but it is also rooted in some very

strong human qualities.

Look at the

story from the British perspective

in a moment, but first, a fresh

perspective from a journalist in

Paris.

I think this summit is

crucial because it may effectively

be the last one before Brexit,

bearing in mind that the summits are

held every to make years. It comes

at such a historical time. And the

priority that Macron has made

throughout the week is to stress the

fact that he wants the border

between Calais and the UK to remain

as fluid as possible as far as

businesses concerned. The related of

Limerick -- the related issue of

immigration when it comes to Calais

has also been hugely important for

Emmanuel Macron, and it has to do

with the French asking the British

to put more money for security

around Calais, especially for

illegal immigrants. They want the

British to be able to process them

quicker, and indeed to police them

better.

Theresa May has announced

that there will be extra investment,

over £40 million, into measures in

place in Calais. There is also a

commitment from the UK to take more

migrants who are currently in

Calais. As I'm sure you know, Calais

is a port on the north coast of

France, and these announcements have

not gone down well with the MP who

serves Dover in the south-east of

England. He has taken to Twitter,

Charlie Elphicke, to say: let's

bring in Leila. That tweet

highlights the delicate line that

Theresa May has to walk on this

issue with her own party.

Yes, and I

think the border issue between

Britain and France has been a big

one. There has been a sticking point

about where the responsibilities

lie, but there was a keen Theresa

May and Emmanuel Macron is... Front

about this new money that would be

put in. Theresa May was clear that

she thought it would be in both

countries' interest for that money

to be spent. President Macron said

the border had to be jointly

managed, and he didn't see it as a

gift. There is concern in parts of

the Conservative Party saying that

there is is too much money going in

the French direction over the border

issue. President Macron said he

thought the current situation was

not satisfactory, as he put it, and

he wanted migrants waiting in Calais

to be processed quicker. That's what

this new treaty is designed to do.

And the intelligence services, there

has been a lot of speculation around

Brexit and whether it could impact

the way the UK works with members of

the EU, but we had a big meeting

between all five security services

from each side of the channel.

I

think it was the first time that all

five from both sides had sat down

round the table together, quite

something to have those senior

figures in one place. Very much,

that was the message today - there

were shared challenges, Corporation

cooperation would continue. Security

and defence matters were also

highlighted as areas where

cooperation is going to continue.

The purpose of the summit is to

stress that the bilateral

relationship between Britain and

France will be strengthened after

Brexit, and there is more to it than

just the relationship that comes

from the EU at the moment. This was

setting the stage, this whole

summit, both for intelligence

matters, the border, and a wide

range of issues discussed,

culturally strange, energy. We know

the Bayeux tapestry is coming to the

UK as well. All of this was designed

to lay the foundations for a future

relationship after Brexit. Of

course, the tribulations of the

negotiations were never really that

far from the surface. We heard

President Macron ruling out

preferential access for financial

services into this single market

after Brexit. Straight talking from

him there. But I think that both

sides are very clear to stress that

this summit was not about Brexit.

Brexit was not officially on the

agenda. This was more about the

bigger picture, stressing the close

alliance Britain and France, that

both sides say they will continue

after Britain leaves the EU.

Leila,

thank you. If you're watching in the

UK or Northern Europe, you will know

all about this. There was wild

weather last night. At least five

people lost their lives across

northern Europe. Chris Fawkes at BBC

weather earlier said he saw winds

recorded at over 140 kilometres an

hour. First, this film from the

Hague. Let's move from there to

nearby Rotterdam.

Unfortunately, that roof came

completely. And then this video from

a town further south in the

Netherlands.

As you know, the Dutch are integral

to the global shipping industry with

a number of synthetic and ports.

Look at all of these shipping

containers piled up. Foul-mac of

five crashing down. The power of

this wind was absolutely

astonishing. We know from dash cam

footage like this that there were

huge problems on the roads as well.

With car is stationary, a tree comes

down. Schiphol airport is one of the

busiest in Europe, close to

Amsterdam. It had to cancel 300

flights. It wasn't just the Dutch

were being affected - the German

authorities also cancelled many

flights, and all long-distance train

services were cancelled. This storm

is moving through Germany towards

Poland now. Here is Chris Fawkes

with more details.

This was caused

by a rapidly deepening area of low

pressure. In the systems, pressure

falls quickly ahead of the storm

system, and rises quickly behind it,

creating this conveyor belt of

extremely strong winds that moved

right across the Netherlands,

bringing destruction. The storms

don't stray the -- don't stay strong

for long. The wind starts to spiral

into the centre of the low pressure,

and pressure starts to rise. The

storm system starts to become less

powerful than the wind starts to

die. The winds gusting at around 100

kilometres an hour in Germany. The

storm will continue moving to the

east across Poland and into Russia,

where tomorrow it will bring some

snow. The winds will cost to 80

kilometres an hour, a windy day but

not damaging one.

A quick update on

the California captive case which we

covered earlier in the week. This is

David and Laura Turpin, who appeared

in court today accused of holding

their 13 malnourished children

captive inside their suburban home.

This came from Reuters a couple of

hours ago. I should add, we have

also been told that bail has been

set at $13 million for each of the

defendants.

In a few minutes, we will go back to

Chile, because the Pope is still

there. He married these two flight

attendants while he was flying up

above Chile. We have the full story.

Emergency hospital consultants in

Wales have written to the First

Minister claiming safety is being

compromised to an unacceptable

degree. The group said they

recognised funding constraints but

said both NHS Wales and the social

care sector were severely and

chronically under resourced. The

Welsh Government said it had been

open about the challenges the winter

has brought.

That the start of

window, I said we are better

prepared than ever. -- at the start

of winter. There are spikes in

demand and unavoidable pressures.

There are also pressures that we

plan for, and we have seen this.

When those spikes and unpredictable

pressures coming, we don't have

enough legs ability to deal with

them I would like to. I take

responsibility, which is why there

was more money, £50 million,

available at the start of winter.

And in the first week of January, I

announced £10 million of extra funds

to help add the join between health

and social care. -- to help with the

join between health and social care.

This is Outside Source. Our lead

story comes from Washington. The US

Government is facing a shutdown. The

Democrats and Republicans cannot

agree on funding issues at the

moment, but the deadline is not

until midnight on Friday.

Some of the main stories from the

BBC World Service. Russia has

reacted angrily to a law passed by

the Europe crane Ian Parliament

which outlines plans to reintegrate

the separatist regions. -- Ukrainian

parliament. It calls Russia an

aggressor or state.

The ANC say that Jacob Zuma's future

is not on the agenda at their

meeting.

Pope Francis ordered his bookmobile

to stop. Did you see a policewoman

falling off her horse as the Pope

went past? Pope Francis got down and

spent several minutes with the woman

while she was receiving attention.

The good news is, she wasn't

seriously injured.

Staying with the Pope's visit to

Chile, these two air stewards were

working on board one of his flights

and ended up with quite a surprise.

They asked if the Pope would bless

their marriage, but he went one

better, performing a midair marriage

ceremony. CBS News had a reporter on

board. Here she is telling the

story.

The flight attendants on

papal planes normally get their

picture taken with the holy Father.

This couple were supposed to marry

in 2010 when demonstrating

earthquake destroyed their church.

-- devastating earthquake. When they

went to the front of the plane to

meet with the Pope and have their

picture taken, he asked if they were

married, and they told him their

story, and the story of the church,

so the Pope said, would you like me

to marry you right here and right

now? They were startled but they

said yes. He then asked them several

times, are you sure? And they said,

yes, we are. Francis blessed the

rings the couple were already

wearing. A cardinal broke the

marriage document by hand on airline

paper, and the Pope signed it. Then

he gave the bride and groom

rosaries, a white one for the bride

and a black one for the groom. The

bride had been the boss of the grim

when they met, and the Pope said

that the husband, is she still the

boss? And the husband said, yes, she

is.

Outside Source outline business.

I don't know if you have followed

the saga of Wehr Amazon will set up

its new headquarters. We're down to

20 options, we are told. We will go

to New York. Samir Hussein is with

us. They could turn this into a

reality show!

It has been huge news

since it was announced by Amazon Go

they were looking to open another

headquarters, because they will soon

grow out of the cover and place in

Seattle. You had 238 different

cities, from Canada, the US and

Mexico, really submit their bids to

Amazon, trying to convince them to

bring their business and bring their

headquarters to their city. This

long-awaited short list has finally

come out, and there were some on the

list that were pretty typical, that

many people expected. But there are

still some unexpected cities that

made the list. Montgomery County in

Maryland is one of them, and

Toronto, Canada is another that many

didn't necessarily expect.

What are

Amazon's criteria here? Cabbie told

us?

They set out a bunch of

criteria. -- have they told us? This

city needs to have at least 1

million people and needs to be able

to attract a lot of tech. It needs a

good school system and an

International Airport. Those were

among the qualities. When you talk

about is a city like Toronto, it

meets those criteria are absolutely.

Why is this particular city so

interesting, though? Imagine that

President Trump has put out this tax

reform Bill, and it is trying to

encourage more American companies to

build in the US and bring jobs back

to the United States, so it is

interesting that Jeff Bezos, who

also owns the Washington Post, which

has met the ire of Donald Trump,

could put it in a Canadian city,

outside of the top 20, on its list.

I don't know if it is just me, but I

associate Amazon with the north-west

of America. But it doesn't sound

like that will be an issue in this

decision.

There is only really one

west Coast city that made the list,

and that is Los Angeles. We have

seen that Jeff Bezos wanted to be

able to create a headquarters that

was on the eastern side of the US,

which is why you see a lot of places

like New York City's, Newark, New

Jersey, which offered a lot of tax

incentives, Montgomery County, and

other cities.

Thank you very much.

Let's talk about the A380, the

world's biggest yet. We talked

earlier about the pressure it was

under. A lifeline has arrived from

Emirates airline. The biggest

passenger jet in the world has got a

substantial new order, and it needed

that. Otherwise, its future looked

uncertain. 36 is the maximum is this

order could reach, with a guaranteed

minimum of 20, enough to keep the

production line viable.

Let's quickly talk about China. Its

economy grew faster than expected in

the last three months of the year.

For the whole of 2017, growth was at

6.9%. The Government's target was

6.5%. If you want more details on

the Chinese economy, you can find it

online at BBC .com/ news. Click on

world then Asia, and you will find

it there. I will see you in a couple

of minutes.

Thanks for joining me. We will give

you a flavour of the UK weather in

the days to come in a moment. First,

I want to take you across the world.

We will start somewhere a little

warmer than the British Isles, and

that is Melbourne. 39 Celsius on

Friday, we suspect. But that is set

to change quite markedly. Warm for

the tennis players in the short term

until this little tale of cloud

flicks its way through the Melbourne

area, and suddenly we have lost 15

or 16 degrees. The direction of wind

is all important at the moment

across Asia. The north-easterly

monsoon is bringing a lot of rain to

southern parts of the Philippines,

across Indonesia and into the

eastern side of Malaysia. A cool

northerly wind is bringing cold air

from the North is pulling

temperatures down in Tokyo. Looking

further south, sunshine is in short

supply whilst tropical cyclone has

been close to Mauritius, bringing

wet and windy weather there. It will

be passed reunion within 24 hours

before the whole system dragged its

way down into the Southern oceans.

That should be the last we see of

it, but it leaves behind the

possibility of intensified rain

across Madagascar, and across the

Atlantic Ocean. To the south of

that, where we expect to see rain in

the rainy season at this time of

year, the rain has been somewhat

below par, to say the least, and

concerns are growing in some of the

Southern African states. No shortage

of wind and rain with the European

storm. It was named in a number of

countries. There was widespread

disruption, with gusts of over 140

kilometres per hour. That system is

tracking through the heart of

Germany, moving to Poland on Friday,

on its way to the southern Baltic

states, the western side of Russia

and the northern parts of Ukraine.

Behind it, there is a cool run of

north-westerly winds. Temperatures

in single figures, if not below

zero. In fact, widely across Europe

at the moment, there is little heat

to speak of. We're not quite done

yet with the combination of wet and

windy weather, because this system

will die away just in time for the

weekend to bring more wet and windy

weather and some snow led to the

Alpine region. You don't have to go

that far for snow and ice, because

there could well be more here in the

British Isles. More details in a few

minutes.

Hello I'm Ross Atkins with Outside

Source, these are the pain stories

on the BBC News.

Donald Trump is blaming the

Democrats for wanting to undermine

his economic successes.

One year on from the US presidential

election, we are back in Detroit to

see if Trump supporters are happy

with the decision that they made.

Turkey is moving troops close to the

border with Syria, we examine why

and what it means for the

border with Syria, we examine why

and what it means for the region. If

you have questions on the stories we

are covering, BBC OS is the hashtag.

Well, this moment, Donald Trump can

being President of America is very

nearly one year ago. Next on Outside

Source we hear an assessment of how

he's done from the people of

Michigan. This is a state that had

not voted Republican in a

presidential election for 30 years

but it went for Trump in 2016. It

was crucial to help him get to the

White House.

The economic decline in Detroit,

America's motorcity, came to

symbolise an America that the voters

felt had been left be mind by the

politicians. When I came here two

years ago, Donald Trump was not the

Republican canicate but the win in

the Michigan primary propelled him

all the way to the White House. When

I came here then, I met a man named

Rich Be a by. A union member, signed

up to the Trump train early on.

Kitsch rich, how are you?

Doing

wonderful.

How does he feel a year into the

presidency?

I am happy with the

results, not least with the economy

and he is the reason things are

turning around. He has played a part

in it. If somebody is doing the job

I want him to do, I don't care how

mouthy they are, as long as they are

doing the job.

The language he used the other day

was highly offensive and some people

deemed it racist?

That doesn't have

anything to do with it. If I thought

he was a racist, I would tell you he

was a turkey. But I don't feel he is

honestly racist.

How many of you would vote for

Donald Trump again.

These women are setting sights on

re-electing Donald Trump for a

second term.

When I supported Donald Trump, it

had nothing to do with is this a

good man to date my daughter or have

as the Pastor of my church? We

supported him as he was a strong

man, he promised to drain the swamp.

That is what he is doing. We are not

expecting him to be perfect.

Do you think he should be more

careful in how he says things?

I do.

I don't think it helps the image.

But he said what half of the country

thinks.

I met Ben Sykes after Donald Trump

won the election in 2016. He was

building houses on the street. He is

still working here.

Your hat says: Make America great

again. Do you think Donald Trump has

fulfilled the promise yet?

I think

he is on the way to fulfilling it.

He will move forward if you don't

agree with the guy you have to

respect him. He's, to a certain

degree, anyway, he is not afraid to

speak his mind. He will say what he

thinks.

I mean, to some people it is

inappropriate. But at least you know

where he is coming from.

In the past year I have spoken to

Trump supporters across America,

sharing a similar dissent to those I

have spoken to in Detroit. They may

not like his tweets, language or

style of govern but as long as the

economy is doing well and there is

mob in their pockets, they will

continue to stick with him.

And there is more on Donald Trump's

first year as President on BBC, TV,

radio and online and via the BBC

News app as well. This is the

message that has gone from

Turkisha's government to Turkey

today.

TRANSLATION: We warn the Turkish

leadership if they initiate combat

operations in the area, that will be

considered a move of aggression.

Now there are a lot of elements to

the story. Let's take you through

them. We know that the Turkish

forces are poised on the border

between Turkey and Syria. Their

focus is Afrin. It is a place in the

north of Syria. It is controlled

mainly by Syrian/Kurdish fighters,

Turkey says that they are

terrorists. Because of that we are

seeing a lot of military activity in

the Turkish areas of Hatay, close to

Afrin. My colleagues sent us this

video to use that shows the military

activity, the army is reportedly

opening gaps in the border fence

west of Afrin. We saw this from the

UK-based Syrian observatory for

human rights it is reporting that

there are targets close to Afrin on

the border close to Turkey. And

Turkey has held talks with Russia,

seeking apreviously of any air

operation it may carry out.

We can get more on this.

The military experts in Turkey says

that in an operation against a

Syrian Kurdish town of Afrin Turkey

needs to use the air space otherwise

it is too risky for the Turkish

troops to go in. If they say that

Turkey is able to use the air space,

if Russia gives the backing, answer

the Afrin operation could be over in

day. Otherwise it could turn into a

nightmare. That is the opinion,

Russia must back the operation. That

is why the Russian stance is

crucial. In the meantime, there is a

deployment of the Turkish troops and

tanks along the border. Today a

dozen gaps have been opened at the

border, which is another sign that

an operation against Afrin could be

happening at any moment.

Now the Americans are an element of

this story too. Earlier in the week

we reported that the US was planning

a 30,000-strong Border Force in

northern Syria, that it would

involve Kurdish fighters. If you saw

Outside Source earlier in the week

you would have seen the Turkish

officials furious with the

announcement. But the US Secretary

of State is saying that an American

official misspoke on the matter. And

while that is not the plan there

will be troops from the US cruelly

on the ground in some form. Here is

the statement from Rex Tillerson.

The United States will maintain a

military presence in Syria,

focussing on ensuring Isis cannot

re-emerge. The military in Syria is

conditions based. We cannot make the

same mistakes made in 2011 when a

premature departure from Iraq

allowed Al-Qaeda and Iraq to survive

and morph into Isis.

Now perhaps not unreasonably Turkey

is accusing the US of mixed

messages.

Turkey is not impressed. The Turkish

Foreign Minister said that he was

not satisfied with the explanations

and that they expected solid steps

coming from Washington like this,

arming of the Kurdish forces for

instance, which they say is a pledge

given from Washington to Ankara.

Kurdish YPG forces is an extension

of the Kurdish PKK group, leading an

insurgent in Turkey for over three

decades and whom the US consider a

terrorist organisation, and thus why

Turkey says why PG should be

considered a terrorist organisation

and Ankara considers this is

national security threat. The US's

announcement, the first announcement

that Rex Tillerson said was a

misportrayal of the border security

force was probably the main reason

that Turkish decided to embark on an

operation against Afrin. Now the US

has said that Turkey scale back,

which is pleasing Ankara but Ankara

is not yet satisfied.

Lots more background on that

conflict and how Turkey fits into it

tell us more. Last year's wild fires

in California, not caused by man

made climate change but likely

influenced by high temperatures

drying out parched land. Followed by

the mud landslides, an unusual

combination of heat and extreme

rain. Scientists are more confident

than ever that CO2 emissions are the

main thing heating the planet. They

are informed by the graph of global

temperatures in 1988 a spike of

warming, thanks to the El Nino

heating current. 7058 Celsius above

normal. Beaten in the El Nino years

of 2015 and 2016 with a high of 1.11

Celsius above normal. Last year, was

nearly 1 Celsius above normal but

crucially, no El Nino.

What is remarkable about the figures

is that these are the warmest

temperatures we have seen without

the influence of the natural El Nino

climate phenomena. It shows that the

influences of the human activity

through emissions of greenhouse

gases are dwarfing the natural

climate processes associated with El

Nino.

What about the snow on the East

Coast, which prompted rum Donald

Trump to tweet: We need some of that

weather here.

Had you ever care Harvey, the most

certain outcome of climate change as

the planet keeps on warming.

And on Outside Source a report on

modern slavery in the UK. Often a

hidden problem but one that can be

found in towns and cities all over

the country. For the past year the

Co-op has been piloting the first of

its kind giving paid work experience

to more than 30 victims of slavery.

More than a dozen businesses have

been meeting to discuss how they can

get involved.

Before my life was very bad. I have

not have a chance for the future.

Now it is very nice. It is great.

I'm very happy.

Peter is a

survivoring of modern slavery, one

of 12 to have been placed in safe,

secure work by the Co-op. Like

thousands before him, Peter came

from Romania for a new life.

I was looking for a job.

And to be happy?

Yes.

But 12 hours days were spent cold

and wet working in a car wash

without pay. He was held prisoner,

allowed out to open fake bank

accounts for his captors. Do you

feel scared of these men?

Yes, very

scared. It is very dangerous, these

people. Very, very aggressive.

Telling you that they will kill you.

His room was guarded but Peter

escaped when the gang got drunk.

Now I remember this.

Your heart beats fast remembering?

Very, very.

From living in a safe house to a

safe job. Here at the Co-op they are

offering survivors a new start.

When they go into the workplace it

is just the store manager or the

line manager who knows that they are

a modern slave victim and it is

confident shall.

What are the challenges you face in

ensuring this works?

They don't have

driver's licences or bank accounts,

the formal things thankfully with

have, so we have adapted HR policies

to deal with that.

In our communities now, there are an

estimated 13,000 modern slaves as

they often disappear, that number

could be higher. When survivors are

discovered or escape, they are

deeply traumatised. They could be

having panic attacks or have no

trust in the police. Sunday Times

the sense of trust is eroded so they

are suspicious of any support on

offer. It makes the scale of the

challenge even greater.

Today this charity alongside the

Co-op is meeting a dozen businesses

hoping to meet more survivors.

As a business, we love hearing, when

a business, when they have a heart,

that this will help so many

survivors, people who have been the

most vulnerable, the most exploited,

it is setting them up for a new

start.

Why do you like the job?

It is nice

people. The manager is great. I love

my job.

Peter is a man excited about his

future. He is about to take his

girlfriend on holiday. The basic

freedom that now means the world.

Nina Warhurst, BBC News.

Now a health story being covered

today. Doctors in the UK want all

women to be tested for what is known

as the Angelina Jolie gene. A

mutation of two genes that increase

the chances of developing cancer. As

I am sure you know, Angelina Jolie

had it arched had two breasts

removed as a preventive measure.

Women are tested if the cancer runs

in the family but researchers want

to do is test all women. They claim

it could prevent 82,000 cases of

breast and ovarian cancer and save

over 12,000 lives, this is for the

UK alone.

Our reporter has been telling us

more.

So, they are called the bracha one

and two, inherited from your

parents. They are a suppressor. So

we have the genes but with a

mutation it stops the ability it

stops the ability to suppress and to

prevent the body interest repairing

DNA. In terms of every woman in the

country being screened, it sounds

like a huge under taking?

It is. So

at the moment they scene people with

a family history of breast cancer

but other research said that they

could miss up to 50% of people with

the mutation. So they looked at what

would happen if they screened

everybody in the UK and the US, all

women above the age of 30. In the

UK, 27 million, in the US, up to 100

million. They looked at whether or

not it was cost effective and it if

could be effective in terms of

preventing cancers and saving lives.

It was. Here in the UK we could save

up to 13,000 lives and it is

effective costwise.

Are there arguments against it?

There are. If you think of the

turmoil for the women to have to go

through this, that takes its toll.

So the other factor is if you think

of basically, they say that breast

cancer, that having the mutation it

could increase the risk from between

40 and 90% but it is a huge

difference. So it is another conin

terms of everyone doing it. Another

it is based on modelling, so the

research says that 70% of women

would take up the genetic testing,

that is a guess, so they would have

to do more large-scale studies to

test it on women and see if

figures pan out.

Is it going to happen? At the moment

it is a group of doctors saying it

is a good idea, a long way from the

government policy?

The UK Government

are excited by the results and will

look at them with interest. So we

will see. But there is a lot of

cancer researchers and different

groups like breast cancer now who

are excited about it and want to

potentially make a change.

And a report on an exhibit opening

in Washington to highlight the deep

connection between the American

Indians and America's identity. Here

it is.

all around us. This exhibition asks

the question why and seeks to

separate the myth from the reality.

It takes stories we think we know

from the roots of Thanksgiving Days

to the battle of little big horn and

invites the visitors to rethink

America's tangled and conflicted

relationship with American Indians.

The problem is that people think it

does not have to do with them it is

located in the past. So the look of

the gallery is contemporary. We are

trying to say this is not over. This

is part of your life. Part of the

American national identity.

Given

the you bick witty of Indian imagery

it could be hard to believe that the

country was once imagined without

its Native American Indians.

Did you know that more Indians were

removed about I boat than wagon more

than 380 died when this steam ship

capsized.

When a culture thinks of itself, it

is evolving. The existence of the

museum, that the congress chose to

establish it, is a signal, that they

are ready, they have asked us to

tell these stories in our way from

our perspective. That is a very

mature thing for our country to do.

In the 20th century, advertisers

began exploiting American Indian

images as the US transformed into a

consumer economy. The myth of the

American West and the pioneer spirit

that and ants represented became a

great way to sell things. Listen to

the description of the checky chief.

The cheer is standing high, wild and

handsome with flared fenders, we are

talking about a car, for goodness'

sake.

It was detrimental as it froze the

American Indians in the past. As you

can see around the gallery, these

are images of 19th century Indians.

It has had a hugely harmful effect

on American Indians as their

contemporary lives are not

appreciated.

And that's the ultimate aim of this

exhibition, that the visitors leave

with a better awareness of the

images that surround them and a new

way of seeing them. Well, every

edition of Outside Source we promise

you the best of the BBC's journalism

and the biggest stories from the

world. Let's turn to Zimbabwe. The

Zimbabwe wants could be having an

election sooner than expected. This

is the Zimbabwe Herald, reporting

that the President there is saying

that the election could happen as

early as May. When it does, it will

be significant as it is the first

election that the Zimbabwe wants

have had without Robert Mugabe on

the ballot since independence in

1980.

Our correspondent is in Harare in

Zimbabwe. Here are her thoughts.

During the visit to Mozambique, the

President was quoted as saying that

the elections would be held by June,

earlier than the institution

requires and puts paid to reports

that political parties including his

own ruling ZANU-PF party had wanted

to post pane the elections by a few

years. The reality is that the

President cannot afford not to hold

elections. He took over power in

November that deprived him of the

legitimacy he is seeking in the eyes

of the international community. The

President acknowledged that Zimbabwe

needs free elections to engage with

the rest of the world as a qualified

democratic state. This is important

for the country looking

investment, specifically from

western countries.

Now, I wonder if you saw this video

on the BBC News app? Two-for-one

teenage boys, they are in trouble in

the sea in Australia. They are about

to be rescued with the help of a

drone. Something that has never

happened before. Here is a yellow

parcel dropped by a drone. The drone

is guided by the Life Guards on the

shore. It is an inflatable rescue

pod. As we play the video it expands

the moment it hits the water and the

two boys head towards it. Now, why

this works, they grab hold of it, a

wave comes in, by holding on to the

aid this are washed up to the shore.

The process of getting them help

took 70 seconds, an improvement on

what a human being could do. This

happened in Lennox Head. 90 people

drowned in New South Wales last

year. And this drone is part of a

bigger push to use drones in life

saving.

I want to talk about this. Again

about Australia, again about

coastguards and drones, they are

using it to check for sharks. Have a

look at this video. You can see how

the drone, going out over the surf

is able to identify and I'm sure you

can identify as you watch, not only

sharks but surfers and dolphins that

gives them a more detailed picture

of what is happening in the sea. If

they spot a shark they can act more

quickly in getting the information

to surfers and getting them out of

harm's way. That is the last story

on today's Outside Source. The last

story of the week, in fact. Thank

you very much for watching. We will

see you next week with the biggest

global stories. Goodbye.
