Hello, I'm Ros Atkins,

this is Outside Source.

President Trump's first State

of the Union address is hours away.

The White House says

it'll unite the nation.

We can be pretty sure it won't but

we can look at what to expect.

After the Larry Nassar scandal,

Congress passes a bill to make sure

athletes are protected from sexual

abuse in the future.

We will get details on that. It has

been a surreal day in Kenya. That is

the opposition leader being sworn in

as president. Despite the fact he

lost the election last year and is

not the president.

A big change is coming to US

healthcare and Amazon

is leading the way.

It is setting up a company that will

provide health care for its

employees. We will be live in New

York to find out about that.

In five hours, Donald Trump will

deliver his first State of the Union

address to Congress.

The White House is promising

"a speech that resonates

with our American values and unites

us with patriotism."

Unfortunately for American

politicians, none of them managed to

unite the nation these days. That

seems unlikely.

But it will see the President

plot the year ahead.

Expect immigration, jobs

and infrastructure to feature.

Last February, just after he'd taken

office, we had a big set piece

speech from the President.

Let's see how time has

treated these moments.

Make America great again. The time

has come for a new programme of

national rebuilding. And going to

bring back millions of jobs,

protecting our workers also means

reforming our system of legal

immigration. And we will soon begin

the construction of a great, great

Wall along our southern border.

We will provide massive tax relief

for the middle-class. One of the

largest increases in national

defence spending in American

history. I believe strongly in free

trade, but it also has to be fair

trade. The time for trivial fights

is behind us.

At the time last February, we turned

to our correspondent in Washington.

Let's do the same for his assessment

of the president has done one year

on.

Obviously, he set out a very

ambitious programme there and a lot

has not been realised. Tax cuts to

was the end of the year but that

border wall has not yet been

realised. Immigration changes has

been the subject of a lot of debate

recently but does not happen get.

Their first major agenda item last

year ended up being health care

reform. As you recall, that was

dramatically reformed and the Senate

managed to chip away at it.

Americans care about the health

system most at the moment. It'll be

interesting to see if it takes

another whack at it. I have a

feeling we will about

infrastructure, immigration and a

lot of both about the economy. The

consensus is his underperforming as

far as popularity goes with how good

the US economy is right now.

Are we

going to get detail? Is that what

the State of the Union address is

four or is it about the big

messages?

It is usually about the

big message. Bill Clinton, when he

gave State of the Union addresses in

the 1990s, the reputation of coming

out with wanderlust and almost too

many details. -- with a laundry

list. Obama was much loftier and set

broad frameworks. I think you will

be a lot of Trump trying to drum up

his accomplishments, particularly

about infrastructure. But I don't

think we will need anything to

concrete about policy. There is a

danger in spelling things out in a

speech like this because then it can

be picked over by reporters and

critics very quickly in the

disaster.

Don't go anywhere,

Anthony. A couple of other things to

talk about. Lots of people have been

showing these images of the ticket

given to some people invited to the

State of the Union. It had a typo in

it and said State of the Uniom. Lots

of people having fun with this. Let

me show you Joe Kennedy III. He is

the nephew of John F K, present in

the 1960s. You can secede the

position of belly sandals online. --

you can see the position of Bernie

Sanders online.

It is not particularly unusual early

in the election cycle if we are

already talking about 2020. This

type of people start to emerge after

mid-term elections. As far as

congressional leaders, you're Chuck

Schumer and Nancy Pelosi who have

been around for a long time. Which

is why I think you see someone like

Kennedy taking up the mantle, being

pushed forward before the cameras

because he is young, charismatic, he

will give his speech from a

blue-collar, working-class town in

Massachusetts. A lot of these

responses are trying to frame how

the opposition party wants America

to see that party. I think it is

pretty clear that the Democrats want

to put the younger face out there

and show vitality. But they are

going to have an economic message.

They think that is what is going to

be winning in the midterms in 2018.

Robert Mueller, the man leading the

investigation into the alleged

Russian interference in the

election, we will see if Mr Trump

mentions him. But he certainly came

up in a conversation between the

BBC's Security correspondent and the

head of the CIA. Here's how some of

that interview went.

I haven't seen significant decreases

in their activity.

Do you have

concerns that they might try and

interfere in the US midterms coming

up?

Of course. I have every

expectation that they will continue

to try and do that but I am

confident that America will be able

to have a free and fair election.

They will push back in a way that is

sufficiently robust, that the impact

they have on our election will not

be great.

Do you ever find yourself

having to walk a fine line with a

president who has said that talk

about Russian, particularly

collision, is fake news and an

agency that has said there were

attempts in 2016 to influence the

election?

I don't do fine lines. I

do the truth. We deliver nearly

every day, personally, to the

president, the most exquisite truth

that we now in the CIA.

What is he

like in those meetings? Does he ask

questions, inquisitive?

Yes, hard

questions. He's very focused in the

sense that he is curious about the

fact that we present.

A recent book,

which I'm sure you're aware of,

suggested the president was not

quite up to 20 might not have the

faculties. What is your response to

that as someone who sits in the room

with him on many mornings?

It's

absurd. I haven't read the book and

they don't intend to. I have many

better things to read. Things that

are accurate and truthful. The claim

that the President isn't engaged and

doesn't have a grasp on these

important issues is dangerous and

false. And it saddens me that

someone would have taken the time to

write such a thing.

Anthony, it is always remarkable to

me that someone like the head of the

CIA can be so loyal to someone like

Donald Trump when they clearly have

quite different approaches to facts

and things that aren't true.

Right.

To say that it is a fine line that

he has to walk is an understatement

because he has been very clear from

the get go that he believes, and the

agency he has believes, that rush

attempt to meddle in the 2016

election. And in politics and other

Western democracies, and that they

are not done yet. As he mentioned,

you see Donald Trump calling the

investigation itself a witchhunt. It

will be curious to see if he

mentions, Trump mentions this at all

in his speech tonight. It would be

very risky to bring it up but he has

been very open about his criticisms

of Robert Mueller's investigation

now four months. Usually heard an

increasing drumbeat from Republicans

in Congress, watching Trump speak,

about what they see as biased in the

investigation. The head of the CIA

is more enjoyed from that. He

continues to take his line but that

is not the direction the party

itself seems to be heading right

now.

Just last week, US gymnastics doctor

Larry Nassar was sentenced

to 175 years in prison for abusing

more than 150 victims,

many of them young Olympic hopefuls.

Now American politicians

are trying to make sure that

cannot happen again.

The House has sped up a bill

requiring governing athletics

bodies to promptly report

sexual abuse claims.

The bill passed

with a huge majority.

It was sponsored by

Senator Dianne Feinstein,

who first met with some

of Larry Nasser's victims last

February, and that's

what motivated this bill.

We spoke for more than an hour. We

talked about what happened to them

and how USA Gymnastics and the adult

charged with protecting them failed

at every single term. The meeting

made clear that USA Gymnastics was

fostering a culture that put money

and medals first, far ahead of the

safety and well-being of athletes.

I wanted to understand what this

bill changes in terms of process. We

ask their correspondent in

Washington to help.

Some of the main

points to take away from this... The

first is that if anyone reports

abuse to an amateur athletics

Association, then under this bill,

it would now require that athletics

Association to report that abuse to

the local police. And they have to

do that within 24 hours. What has

been a concern by many gymnasts is

that if they go to someone, whether

USA Gymnastics or a local court,

often their concerns have been put

under the rug and ignored. These

women in many cases have not even

been believed. Now there is a

compulsion that if a complaint is

made, these people have to deal with

it and they have to go to the

police. The other two things worth

noting as well is that this will

would restrict and limit one-on-one

contact that these young athletes

have with people older than them.

Larry Nassar treated a lot of his

patients under the guise... Of

course, they ended up being abused

and ended up being survivors of his

abuse but he treated them a lot of

the time on his own. People were

unable to see exactly what went on.

They want to limit one-on-one

interactions. The other thing that I

thought was interesting was that

this bill would extend the statute

of limitations, the time that people

have to actually report complaints

of abuse or rape. That is

significant because in the case of

Larry Nassar and his victims, many

were too young to fully understand

what was happening to them. And it

took years for many of them to

action process what had happened and

realise that they had been violated.

So, and others law, the statute of

limitations would mean that they

have more time and they would be

able to report these crimes a lot

later, when they were able to

understand what had happened to

them. So some big, significant

changes there and it has been

welcomed by some of the gymnasts and

met at that event today.

Don't go

anywhere. I also want to mention

that some of the victims were

present with the senator when she

made her speech. Here is the former

gymnast and one of those who was

abused.

In order to uncover how the

USOC, USA G and Michigan State

University field young athletes, we

need to be first transparent. --

failed young athletes. We can then

understand how such a heinous crime

went under the radar for so many

years. There must be a thorough

investigation. Time is not on site.

We must act now time is up.

Rajini Vaidyanathan is with me.

We have talked about this before but

it is harder to be struck by the

eloquence and power of the words

used by some of the woman got up in

this horrific case. There is an

option for them to become

campaigners and almost public

figures if they choose to do so. Do

you think some of them are minded to

do that?

That is exactly what I

asked them when I spoke to them

earlier today. Many of them are

still trying to process what exactly

happened. Remember, at least after

the sentencing hearing, it was

around 90 young woman who signed up

to deliver the testimony in person

or through written statements. But

every day, more than more women came

forward, saying they wanted to waive

anonymity and share their stories

right in front of their abuser. And

so by the end of it, 156 women

shared their stories. It became this

huge movement, in a way, and many of

them are trying to work out how they

can channel what they have achieved

into something greater. But I was

struck by one thing. I ash trees

women, what think you achieved? Two

of them said to me, they are

ambience, they said that even though

they were Olympians, they never felt

proud of their gymnastics career on

achievements because they knew that

that was in the context of the fact

that they had been abused by Larry

Nassar. And now because of this

movement, they finally feel that

they have something they can be

proud of. That is really sad in a

way depressing all those

achievements were marred by the fact

that for so long, this Doctor was

able to abuse so many young women.

They now feel that they have a voice

and we will be watching to see what

they do with that.

And of course

they have much to be proud of. Thank

you very much for explaining that.

In a few minutes, we come to West

Africa because Liberia's new

president has given his first State

of the Union address. He says he

wants to change the country's

citizenship laws, which he says are

races. -- racist. We will explain

why.

The four ringleaders

of the Hatton Garden jewellery raid

in central London have been

told to pay a total of

£27.5 million.

A judge will extend their jail

terms by seven years

if they don't pay the money,

as Dan Johnson reports.

It is three years since this rate in

the Easter holiday in 2015. It was

an additions burglary, described as

the largest in English legal

history. The gang were he ever two

Max Stelling gold, jewels and cash

estimated to be worth £13.7 million.

Today in court, or all -- they heard

how much they must pay back. The

court heard John Collins, 77, has

assets in this country and abroad

and must now pay £7.7 million.

Daniel Jones, who is 63,

was ordered to pay 6.6 million.

Terry Perkins, 69, 6.5 million.

And Brian Reader, the oldest

member of the gang,

who is now 78 years old,

was told he must pay

back £6.6 million.

This is Outside Source live

from the BBC newsroom.

President Trump's first State

of the Union address is hours away.

The White House says

he'll unite the nation.

Let's turn to some of the main

stories from BBC World Service. BBC

Arabic reports...

Yemeni separatists are reported

to be in almost full control

of the port city of Aden,

the seat of the internationally

recognised government.

They have taken up positions around

the presidential palace,

but have not entered the compound,

apparently to allow

negotiations to take place.

Ireland will hold a referendum

on whether to liberalise

its strict abortion laws.

The Irish Cabinet has agreed to hold

a vote at the end of May,

giving voters the first opportunity

in 35 years to overhaul some

of the world's strictest laws.

The Irish Prime Minister said

there must be an end to women having

to travel abroad for a termination.

Liberia's new President George Weah

wants to remove what he is calling

a "racist" clause in

the constitution which restricts

citizenship to black people.

Racist being his word.

Liberia was founded in 1847 -

and its constitution defines black

people in the language of the time

as "persons who are Negroes

or of Negro descent".

We can bring in Tamasin

Ford from BBC Africa

in neighbouring Ivory Coast.

You were very recently in Liberia

for their victory. Why has he chosen

this issue to go so strongly on at

the beginning of his presidency?

It

has made headlines. He has been

president of Liberia just over a

week and already making headlines

around the world. This is a clause

that has pulled Liberians to and fro

for years now. It comes up every

year, many people thinking it should

be scrapped and others say, no, this

is our founding fathers who decided

this rule. It is all about the

history of Liberia, which was

founded in the 40s and at a time

when slavery was rife around the

world. And these were former slaves

who were given a plot of land in

West Africa. And to protect their

identity, they wrote his claws into

the constitution, which the

president now says is not

applicable. And in 2018, in his

speech, he called a racist and said

it has no place in our society. As

well as that, other similar rules he

has overturned on the constitution

is the jewel citizenship rule.

Another one that was about

protecting Liberian nationality and

citizens. He says that also has no

place in Liberian society and many

people who do have dual citizenship

were forced to take on another

country's citizenship during the

war. He once was able to come home.

This is all about the president

making big moves in the first week

of office.

And you certainly doing

that. Let's bring up the map of West

Africa, where we have highlighted

some of the neighbouring countries.

None of them have laws like this. If

Liberia falls in line with them, we

know that one group in particular

will notice. There is a community of

Lebanese-owned boat mac, about 4000

and Liberia. -- at committee of

Lebanese, about 4000 in Liberia.

They have a long history in South

Africa. This community is keen for

this to go through?

The Lebanese

community are huge right along the

West African coast. You can see the

differences. In the Ivory Coast, you

can see at a football match, the

Lebanese are in the stands, speaking

French, mixing with others. In

Liberia, it is very common to find a

third-generation who speaks no

English. It is very different

because they have never been given

citizenship. I went into an old

man's shop. He must have been in his

70s or 80s, he was Lebanese. He

said, this country doesn't think of

me as one of their own. I have lived

here for more than 50 years. My

grandchildren live here, my children

live here yet I still have to go to

the immigration office every year to

buy my residency permit. This will

affect the huge community in

Liberia.

Let's keep an eye on that with your

help, please. Thank you. This is a

very interesting story. Shares of

health care companies in the US has

fallen. The reason is that Amazon,

JP Morgan Chase and an investment

company are forming their own health

care firm which will look after

their American employees.

Yogita Limaye is in New York for us.

This is just for their employees,

no-one else?

That is what they have

initially set out. The details are

very sparse. This was not an

amendment anyone here expected.

Three of America's biggest private

performers and two very big business

leaders. Jeff Beazer 's -- Jeff

Bezos and Warren Buffett coming

together to reduce costs for

employees. Together, they employ

hundreds of thousands of people. The

reason we have seen this kind of

impact on the stock market is that

if the employee 500,000 people, the

number of people in all of America

covered by insurance, which the

company splits the cost of, is about

1.6 million. You can imagine that

that is a large... They employ a

large chunk of that number.

Therefore, if they are able to

effectively, with some solution for

this high price of health care, you

can see that impacting other players

in the health care sector.

But just

so that I am clear, these companies

would look to broker health care for

their employees and would not

actually be running hospitals or

providing the health care. Is that

right?

It doesn't seem to be the

situation. As I said, the details...

There are hardly any details of what

exactly this company can do. In

fact, Warren Buffett has come out

and said, this is a problem. We

don't come to this with any answers

but together we will try and find an

answer. The suggestion does not seem

to be that they will actually set up

hospitals. And they will be brokers.

But that could be expanded as a

business as well if they wanted to,

not just for employees but other

people outside.

I would like to know

more about this when we get it.

Thank you very much indeed.

West Park about Theresa May quickly.

She goes to China on Wednesday.

China's business leader, who employs

many people in the UK, was that he

was a clear idea of the Brexit Prime

Minister is pursuing.

British things with an unmistakable

British feel on sale in a distinctly

British place. But this house of

Fraser is in China in the home city

of the billionaire who now controls

the British retail chain.

Why did

you want to buy British? He has

17,000 staff on his books in the UK

and the major interest in Britain's

future, including of course Brexit.

With an iconic British brand in his

portfolio and a proudly displayed

British charity partner, he is

upbeat about the future. Next door

is Hamleys, and other well-known

British name that is China alone.

Looking for the slice of a growing

middle class, they could soon be

half a billion strong. Being bought

by a Chinese company is a sure-fire

way to get access to this country.

For many other British companies, it

can be a very, very challenging

experience. One way in, though, is

this. This ad for Thomas Cook's

China business is offering

tailor-made trips. One packages for

wealthy football fans who want to go

and watch Premier League games.

Insurance giant Prudential is seen

as well. But both companies have

been forced into joint ventures. One

of the complaints about market

access in China. They are opening up

in some ways, though. The UK has a

deal to send more pics' trotters

year. Step-by-step, the government

is looking for more incremental

trade deals with China in a

post-Brexit world.

And I will see you in a couple of

minutes time.

Good

Good evening, the Daley Blind up of

Good evening, the Daley Blind up of

whether stories around the world. It

is a catalogue of extremes tonight.

We start in Australasia. We have

seen heat in Australasia. We have

seen keeping the south-east. Storms

in Melbourne, heading through its

Edney -- Sydney as we speak. Here,

tropical law was huge amounts of

rainfall. Four days worth. 650

millimetres, exactly one year's

worth of rain. A good portion fell

inside 24 hours, leading to severe

and widespread flooding. More to

come in few days. This front

maintains its strength and Elizabeth

more moisture in Queensland, where

we could see more severe storms to

take us to the weekend. Into New

Zealand, it has been about the heat.

On course for the hottest January in

record. Aided and abetted by

unusually warm waters off the West

Coast of the South Island. But

things about to go Bang in bed style

-- about rural Bang in big style.

This could be a severe weather story

for the country. It could be close

to if not on par with the floods in

1984 with a month's worth of rain

falling in the space of 24 hours.

Severe and damaging winds as well.

From too much rain to too little.

Cape Town suffering from droughts

with the city's water supplier

struggling. Reservoirs at a quarter

of capacity. When in terms to 30%,

the taps are likely to be turned off

and that could be as soon as the

12th of April if not sooner. If we

look at the forecast the rest of

this week, there is no rain in sight

and if anything, it gets hotter on

Thursday. Those reservoirs will drop

even quicker. Staying in the

southern heavens here -- hemisphere,

and in the Falkland Islands, severe

weather on the way tonight. The area

of low-pressure working its way

through and he could see winds

gusting in excess of 80 mph, making

it the island's windiest spell on

record. Sticking with the windy

theme, this is the scene in

Gibraltar in the past few days.

Severe gales whipping up the waters.

And you can see the circulation. The

pressure remains in place with

Stormy weather from Madeira and also

into the Canaries with maybe rain

and snow across Morocco itself.

Looking at the big picture into

Europe for Wednesday, best of the

weather in central and eastern

parts. We have some wet and windy

weather in the North West, bring

some snow across Sweden, Norway,

rain across France and Germany, but

for us, it is a cooler day with

sunshine and wintry showers. More of

which you'll find out about and have

an hour.

Some of the main stories in the BBC

newsroom, President Trump is four

and a half hours away from his first

State of the union address. White

House is talking about it the

nation. After the Larry Nasa

scandal, a bill being passed to

attempt that athletes are protected

from sexual abuse in the future. --

Larry Nassar. Britain will be worse

off after "Brexit" according to one

report, a Buzzfeed story, leaked. As

usual, as we are watching, please

get in touch with us using the

regular hashtag.

Cat

among the pigeons in Westminster,

this was published last night.

A leaked report on the predicted

economic consequences of Brexit.

It looks at three scenarios

across 15 years, none of them

turn out well according

to these forecasts.

No deal with the EU,

growth down by 8%.

If there's a free trade

agreement with the EU,

growth down by around 5%.

If the UK stays

in the single market,

growth down by 2%.

I want to mention

these are forecasts.

All of which means more pressure

on Theresa May as she tries

to fashion a Brexit that the EU

and her party approve of.

Here are some MPs today.

At this early stage, it only

considers off-the-shelf trade

arrangements that currently exist,

we have been clear that these are

not what we are seeking in the

negotiations, it does not yet

consider the desired outcome, the

most ambitious relationship possible

with the European Union.

Stop

pretending this is something to do

with defending the negotiating

position, or that somehow this is

some perverse attempt to reverse the

referendum and access, he has failed

to protect the government from

political embarrassment.

It is a

right of the public to know about

their livelihoods and their future

and for the government not to

publish this is deeply irresponsible

and dishonest.

Eleanor Garnier, Westminster.

I remember standing in Downing

Street a couple of days after the

election, talking about how strong

or weak Theresa May's position was,

feels like every week brings a new

challenge to her authority?

What is

so interesting about this row and

why it has become so acrimonious is

because there are accusations flying

around that this paper has been

leaked deliberately to undermine

Brexit. Not only that, it is being

suggested that those close to the

Chancellor, Philip Hammond, or

people who share the same views as

him when it comes to Brexit could be

behind this. I think the worry from

some who support the Leave side the

argument is that the Prime Minister

might be coming round to the

Chancellor's way of thinking when it

comes to Brexit. Last week he said

the UK should move only modestly

from the EU when it leaves, that was

a red rag to the Brexit balls, and

it comes to something when you have

ministers throwing around

accusations about why documents have

been leaked. -- Brexit bulls. It

shows there is problems at the top

of the Conservative Party, not just

in the Cabinet.

Take us through

this, if the Prime Minister were to

favour a softer form of Brexit, that

may upset some of the big beasts who

campaign for Brexit to have the

power to pull the rug from under

her?

When we talk about soft Brexit,

we talk about having a closer

relationship with the EU, perhaps

staying in the single market,

staying in the customs union. We

know the government has completely

written off those two possibilities,

so it comes down to what kind of

relationship the government can

negotiate with Brussels as you were

touching on, the reason these rows

keep coming, keep leaking out of

Cabinet, is because Theresa May and

her Cabinet have not yet decided

what kind of relationship they want

to have with Brussels, they have not

decided on that end state

relationship and I think until

Theresa May does decide what exactly

she wants from Brussels, these

arguments will keep coming and she

will continue to face pressure from

different sides in her party over

which way she should go, and that is

where we get talk of leadership

issues and interestingly it is not

just been about Brexit in the last

few days, concerns have been raised

privately, about Theresa May and the

domestic agenda, a sense that some

in her party thing she needs to have

more direction and more oomph when

it comes to domestic policy. That is

why Theresa May finds herself in a

tricky position, could be at either

end of a party that eventually pulls

the rug from under her feet, if that

is going to happen at all.

Those of you watching in the UK will

know this but it is worth

emphasising again, Theresa May and

her Cabinet still have not set out a

detailed sketch of what they want

Brexit to beat, those conversations

still to come even though we are in

the middle of the negotiations.

Turning from Westminster, to

Columbia.

This is a group of young Colombians

who filed a lawsuit against the

government, demanding that they

protect their rights to a healthy

environment. The youngest is seven,

the oldest is 26, they have put out

a statement:

this is worthy of note, first action

of its kind in Latin America,

interestingly, we have seen cases

like this elsewhere, in Oregon, in

the US, a group of 21 young people

are suing the US government, you can

get full details of this online, for

failing to address climate change.

The Trump administration failed to

block that case, it has not been

resolved one way or the other. In

the Netherlands in 2014, a court

ordered the government is to reduce

carbon emissions by 25%. You can get

the full story on the BBC news

website, that was brought by 900

Dutch citizens, if we go back to

where we started, Bogota, Colombia,

we can get more details on this

lawsuit from Boris Miranda of BBC

Mundo.

There are demonstrations promoting

this group. The children's group

argue that they have the right to

life. They are demanding that the

government guarantee them a life

with food and water and without the

threat of significant climate

change.

Does the court hearing the

lawsuit have the power to tell the

government what to do.

This legal

action has the power to guarantee

young people in Colombia their

rights. One thing is the right to

live and the right to wellness.

These people are demanding their

future on that basis.

What does the

government think about this?

The

government is still not responding

to the real election, the judge had

ten days to rule in favour or

against the legal action.

We have

seen the consequences of climate

change affecting some countries, can

we say climate change is already

affecting people in Colombia?

Well,

deforestation of the Colombian

Amazon has increased and is

endangering 40% of the forest in the

whole country. It is also a danger

for the ecosystem across the

country.

When will we find out if

the lawsuit is successful?

In ten

days, a judge has to pronounce in

favour or against the legal action

in four days we will go back.

The

state of the union address is coming

up in foreign half hours, you can

see it on BBC World News, and on the

BBC news channel, and you can follow

analysis of it through the BBC News

app, whichever way you turn, we will

have it covered.

Kenya's opposition

leader, Raila Odinga,

has sworn

himself

in as president.

And no, you're not getting

confused, Kenya already

has

a president, Uhuru Kenyatta.

He was sworn-in two months ago.

Go to their respective Twitter

pages,

both list themselves

as Kenya's president,

except only one is.

Now, look at this.

This was earlier in Nairobi.

Thousands of people turned out

to see and support Raila Odinga.

Remember, the background to this

is that the first Kenyan election

last year was annulled

because of irregularities

and then Odinga

boycotted the second.

This is the moment he saw himself

in. He was told this could be

treasonous, did not stop him, if

Kenyans wanted to watch this and had

not turned up, it was hard to do on

television, they had to do it

online, three television channels

got taken off air, this is Citizen

TV, simply says, no signal, and

after a while, telling viewers:

stations claiming that the

government interrupted them, which

is rare, if not completely unusual

in tenure. Let's remind you, this is

all rooted in the issue of

legitimacy, in the second election,

the opponent got 98% because Raila

Odinga was not in it. The turnout

was also low, it has been claimed

that this was not a legitimate

election, although the court system

in can you has decided that Uhuru

Kenyatta is definitely the president

and here is more analysis.

This day was expected, people waited

with anticipation on the support of

their opposition coalition, also a

degree of fear from the rest of the

country. Especially given that it is

a very controversial matter. They

have said it would be treasonous.

However, last-minute changes in

strategy, and it appears the

government called the bluff of the

opposition and allowed them to go

ahead with the ceremony, they had

dismissed it over the last couple of

days, saying it is inconsequential,

and really that is what it is, the

swearing-in has happened, recited

over by one of the MPs in Raila

Odinga's party, he was abandoned by

his partners in the coalition. That

could spell probably the end of the

opposition coalition. The coalitions

are created for specific elections

in tenure, once the election is

gone, different coalitions come up.

The other issue as well, earlier

today, we saw the government took an

unprecedented position to cut off

the signals of local media houses

which are broadcasting live from

that event, this is unprecedented

within tenure, it has been

criticised by different groups, it

is not going to bode well for the

government for many people in the

coming days, however, for the

opposition supporters, they have

been celebrating today, in the

coming days, reality will check in,

and they will realise it is a huge

disappointment and does not mean

anything what happens today.

The rape of an eight-month-old

girl in India

has been reported around the world.

It happened in Delhi.

Her 28-year-old cousin

has been arrested.

The girl's parents took her to this

hospital on Sunday.

She's now in a critical condition.

It's the latest rape case

to cause outrage in India.

These pictures show

the protests sparked

by the notorious gang rape

and murder of the 23-year-old

student on a bus in Delhi in 2012.

It forced the government

to introduce tougher anti-rape laws,

including the death penalty.

But despite the national outrage

rape cases continue to rise,

especially child rapes.

Police recorded 19,765 cases

of child rape in 2016.

Meenakshi Ganguly, South Asia

director at Human Rights Watch.

Thank you very much for your time,

how can we understand the sharp

increase in raperapes statistics, is

it that they are being reported more

often or are many more happening?

Child sex abuse has always been a

hidden secret in this society, many

societies, including India. A number

of times, the perpetrator is within

the family or within a position of

power, and people do not report

these cases. The increase in numbers

is because families are reporting

these cases and also, India has now

enacted a law that requires hospital

authorities to report any case that

comes to their attention as happened

in this particular case when the

child was raped.

A lot of calls for

further reform of the system, what

kind of free forms would help

protect children? --

reforms.

A lot of work has been done

and more must be done, the

prevention of sexual abuse against

children act was passed before the

case you mentioned, of the woman so

brutally gang raped in December,

2012, before that, the law had been

passed. But what is required is a

lot more work in terms of

enforcement, and...

INAUDIBLE

Not just to protect the children but

to support families who want to

support them. As I said,

particularly in cases of child sex

abuse, often the perpetrator is

within the family, a family member

or in position of authority. What

happens is, the mother or the child

do not have the means to even seek

justice. All of these things could

be much more put in place and

enforced.

Is it your perception that

the Indian government is taking this

issue seriously?

This has been

happening for some time, when a

particularly egregious case happens,

then there are protests,

unfortunately it takes protests for

the state to pay attention. These

horrible crimes have been going on

for some time. And what is required

is hard work, not about the death

penalty but reforming the criminal

justice system, setting up

protection mechanisms, enabling

institutions to make sure that these

things do not happen.

Thank you very

much for your time, we appreciate

it.

Last week we had reporting from El

Salvador, today, the same reporter,

from Guatemala.

Guatemala has one of

the highest populations

of Protestants and Evangelical

Christians in Latin America.

A handful of pastors are huge names

and they earn a lot of money.

They're almost like rockstars,

with pay packets to match.

Ben Zand has this report,

which features one town that

believes it's blessed by God

because of the size of its carrots.

You are confident that will happen,

not even remove the concerned it

might not?

This is Pastor Sanchez, a country

which has one of the highest

populations of evangelical

Christians in the Hall of Latin

America. In these mega- churches,

believers are told that God can cure

them of any disease, including AIDS

and cancer. In this town, Sanchez's

dollars believe that God has

bestowed on the town the biggest

miracle of all, giant carrots...

Yes, giant carrots! -- Sanchez's

followers. Well... That is bigger

than my foot. That really is a

massive carrot! Story goes like

this, the people here used to

believe in the gods, and so, they

were punished. There are crops were

small, they have problems with

alcohol, poverty and loose morals.

Since they started to believe in the

God of people like Sanchez, it all

changed, and they called it the

transformation. The wider you think

that out of all things, God decided

to give your towns really nice

carrot? Money could have rained

down, anything could have happened,

why this?

What happened to these carrot? These

are tiny.

Small!

Something told me

there was more to the story than the

divine power of God, I spoke with a

woman who was doing a Ph.D. On the

miracle.

It is about fertiliser and

pesticides. Agricultural production,

long term effects are pesticide

poisoning, possibly causing cancers,

affecting cell development, even

fertility. Actually, I think the

church would have a wheelie

important part to play if they were

just looking at this issue and using

their sermons to help educate people

about these issues. They have a

social responsibility. What I wanted

to know of the people working in the

farms knew of the risks. Smells very

strong, I have a bit of a headache.

Has anybody told you these chemicals

might have adverse side-effects?

A lot of people tell me that it is

God that makes the carrots big, but

surely, if you did not use this

fertiliser, they would be very

small. Off-camera, Sanchez told me

he runs a tracking company. That is

a fancy car... Transporting

vegetables all over central America.

As well as being a lower case Pastor

you work in the vegetable is missed.

-- pastor. I suppose you make more

money from the big carrots. So you

are lucky that God has blessed you

in the way he has. Before I could

confront Sanchez about the carrots,

the whole town had turned out to

give me a special gift. It was a bag

of giant carrots. This isn't a

carrot, this is the leg of a small

child(!) LAUGHTER

To get this big, people need to put

quite a lot of fertiliser on, that

can be bad for people's health.

The town would lose a lot of money,

people like you would not make as

much money, would they even want to

tell people if it was true?

Thank you very much, thank you.

Religion is so important to this

town, these carrots are so

important, I felt like I was

destroying their most famous story.

There is a reason the carrots are

massive but something tells me it is

not because of God, people like

Sanchez, the truth is bad for

business so I can see it changing

any time soon. STUDIO: Thank you

very much for that report.

For the first time, a restaurant

given three Michelin stars

has asked to drop out

of the Michelin guide,

this guide being the most feared

and revered of restaurant reviewers.

The head chef of this

restaurant in France said

the pressure was too much.

Michelin ratings work

like this,

one star means

it's very good cooking.

Two stars, excellent.

Three stars, exceptional cuisine.

For context, there are

only

ten

three-star

restaurants in Paris.

Giorgiana is a chef in Athens.

She owns a restaurant called

Funky Gourmet, it has two stars.

Here she is on the

pressure that brings.

Maintaining the high level of

quality and hospitality on a daily

basis, for every single day, every

single guest, is one of the most

stressful parts of the job. One very

important advice that one inspector

once gave to us, we should never

cook for the stars, and that is what

we did, even before we had any

Michelin stars, we always cooked

only for the guests. We wanted to

perform, to be at our best everyday.

That is all today, remember, the

state of the union address in just

over four
