0:00:07 > 0:00:10Hello, I'm Philippa Thomas, this is Outside Source.
0:00:11 > 0:00:15Donald Trump is a day from releasing a Republican memo
0:00:15 > 0:00:18expected to accuse the FBI of bias against his presidency.
0:00:18 > 0:00:22Theresa May meets with Xi Jinping in China,
0:00:22 > 0:00:27calling it a new golden era in the relationship,
0:00:27 > 0:00:2928 Russian athletes have lifetime doping bans overturned,
0:00:29 > 0:00:32opening their avenue to compete in the Winter Olympics.
0:00:32 > 0:00:38And scientists have been tracking polar bears to find out
0:00:38 > 0:00:39why they're getting skinny.
0:00:39 > 0:00:42Victoria Gill will be here to explain their discovery.
0:00:56 > 0:00:57Welcome to Outside Source.
0:00:57 > 0:00:59Let's start in Washington.
0:00:59 > 0:01:09Donald Trump will release a Republican-drafted four page memo
0:01:12 > 0:01:14tomorrow alleging that the FBI is biased against him.
0:01:14 > 0:01:16The President was pretty tight lipped when pressed about
0:01:16 > 0:01:19the document by reporters today.
0:01:24 > 0:01:27The FBI pleaded with the White House not
0:01:27 > 0:01:33to release the memo.
0:01:33 > 0:01:36In a rare move, the agency went public on Wednesday,
0:01:36 > 0:01:40saying it has "grave concerns" about the document's accuracy.
0:01:40 > 0:01:42The memo was commissioned by this man, Devin Nunes,
0:01:42 > 0:01:52the chair of the House Intelligence Committee.
0:01:52 > 0:01:54Today, the minority leader in the house,
0:01:54 > 0:01:55the Democrat Nancy Pelosi, called
0:01:55 > 0:01:56on Mr Nunes to resign.
0:01:56 > 0:01:59The Democrats fear it will be used to smear SWIPE Robert Mueller,
0:01:59 > 0:02:01the man running the inquiry into alleged Russian collusion
0:02:01 > 0:02:04with Trump's election campaign.
0:02:04 > 0:02:06Here's Democrat Adam Schiff.
0:02:06 > 0:02:11This is not about the facts, this is about a narrative that the
0:02:11 > 0:02:13chairman wants to put out, a misleading narrative, to undermine
0:02:13 > 0:02:16the FBI, undermine the Department and ultimately
0:02:16 > 0:02:19undermine Bob Mueller.
0:02:19 > 0:02:22Of course, the danger in all this, besides the obvious one of
0:02:22 > 0:02:25politicising the intelligence process, is that it sends a message
0:02:25 > 0:02:30to the White House that he can fire Rod Rosenstein or he can fire Bob
0:02:30 > 0:02:33Mueller and there are members who are so vested in his presidency,
0:02:34 > 0:02:41that they will roll over.
0:02:41 > 0:02:44The BBC's Anthony Zurcher has been following the story and gave us
0:02:44 > 0:02:51these details about what we actually know about the memo.
0:02:51 > 0:02:56We know how long the memo is, four pages. Everything else we have heard
0:02:56 > 0:03:02about it has been second-hand. By all reports, the memo looks at the
0:03:02 > 0:03:07intelligence agency's investigation into possible contact between the
0:03:07 > 0:03:11Russian government and members of Donald Trump's presidential
0:03:11 > 0:03:16campaign, and it alleges that there was this deed is done or an abuse of
0:03:16 > 0:03:22power in that investigation. In particular, to the request for
0:03:22 > 0:03:29surveillance of a member of Donald Trump's team, Mr Page. The memo
0:03:29 > 0:03:34reportedly alleges this surveillance request was based largely on that
0:03:34 > 0:03:41famous steel dossier, which contained at least unsubstantiated
0:03:41 > 0:03:45allegations of contacts between Donald Trump and the Russian
0:03:45 > 0:03:48government. Essentially what the memo is asserting that is the
0:03:48 > 0:03:54initiation of this investigation was based on citing the document that
0:03:54 > 0:03:58had been funded in part by Democratic operatives and therefore
0:03:58 > 0:04:03calls into question the investigation as a whole.If true,
0:04:03 > 0:04:09that is pretty explosive. The governing party in Washington saying
0:04:09 > 0:04:18the FBI, in a way, can't be trusted? Exactly. And it changes the debate
0:04:18 > 0:04:23on Bob Mueller investigation and the tampering and how they conducted
0:04:23 > 0:04:27that investigation, so not what they found but how they did it. The idea
0:04:27 > 0:04:31that it could have started with some sort of abuse of power and
0:04:31 > 0:04:35everything that follows from that, that would be what the Republicans
0:04:35 > 0:04:40are saying, Democrats are countering that. Carter Page, this adviser to
0:04:40 > 0:04:45the Trump campaign was on the FBI's radar for years before so it wasn't
0:04:45 > 0:04:49surprising they would be interested in him again after it was learned he
0:04:49 > 0:04:54joined the Trump campaign as an advisor. This investigation grew out
0:04:54 > 0:04:57of that everything they find beyond that shouldn't be affected by this
0:04:57 > 0:05:01one surveillance request.You are being very nuanced and I'm going to
0:05:01 > 0:05:06be really crude here and say are the Democrats suggesting this is a hit
0:05:06 > 0:05:12job on the FBI?I think you are seeing they are suggesting this is
0:05:12 > 0:05:17political. From a purely public relations standpoint, this release
0:05:17 > 0:05:23the memo has been very effective, we are talking about it, will the memo
0:05:23 > 0:05:27come out or not? What sort of biases might have been in the intelligence
0:05:27 > 0:05:30agencies question about is the debate they want to have. It's
0:05:30 > 0:05:35remarkable to see the FBI releasing their own statement, saying that the
0:05:35 > 0:05:40memo was cherry picking data and misrepresent their intelligence
0:05:40 > 0:05:44gathering techniques and what they relied on to conduct this
0:05:44 > 0:05:47investigation and Donald Trump's and Justice Department has said the same
0:05:47 > 0:05:52thing. So it is a very strange conflict here, you have within the
0:05:52 > 0:05:55executive branch, and between executive agencies and Congress. I
0:05:55 > 0:05:59don't think we have seen anything like this in modern times.Let's
0:05:59 > 0:06:02spin across the globe now.
0:06:02 > 0:06:04The British Prime Minister has met the Chinese President
0:06:04 > 0:06:06in the Great Hall of the People in Beijing.
0:06:06 > 0:06:08She did have Brexit issues on her mind -
0:06:08 > 0:06:12and I'll get you up to date on that later, but this encounter was all
0:06:12 > 0:06:14about the world after Brexit, when she wants the UK
0:06:14 > 0:06:16to have a bigger, more profitable trade relationship with this
0:06:17 > 0:06:20booming economic power.
0:06:20 > 0:06:22In talks with Xi Jinpin, Theresa May said
0:06:22 > 0:06:25she hoped her visit would strengthen the 'global strategic partnership'
0:06:25 > 0:06:27between the UK and China.
0:06:27 > 0:06:29Downing Street says the issues of North Korea, protecting
0:06:29 > 0:06:35the environment and human rights were also discussed.
0:06:35 > 0:06:36One area Theresa May won't be visiting is
0:06:36 > 0:06:40the province of Xinjiang, in the far west of China,
0:06:40 > 0:06:44and home to many Muslims.
0:06:44 > 0:06:46Our China correspondent John Sudworth and his team travelled
0:06:46 > 0:06:52there, here's his report.
0:06:52 > 0:06:59Ian looks on in distance, it's closer to Baghdad than Beijing. But
0:06:59 > 0:07:06this is China. It's far western province, and now the target of one
0:07:06 > 0:07:15of the world's most intense security crackdowns. A mainly Muslim minority
0:07:15 > 0:07:21have a long history here. Today, fear is everywhere. Under the
0:07:21 > 0:07:24watchful eye of government minders, there is only ever one correct
0:07:24 > 0:07:35answer.I know nothing. Life is good here.Moments later, armed police
0:07:35 > 0:07:42show up. This is the China visiting Prime Minister 's never get to see.
0:07:42 > 0:07:48Police power here is all pervasive, and growing. Millions of residents
0:07:48 > 0:07:55are being forced to give DNA samples. Mobile phones are searched
0:07:55 > 0:08:02for sensitive religious content, using hand-held plug in Devizes. And
0:08:02 > 0:08:06for those suspected of even the mildest disloyalty to Beijing, there
0:08:06 > 0:08:11is now a network of secretive detention camps, in which thousands
0:08:11 > 0:08:15have been locked up without trial. Close to what we believe is one of
0:08:15 > 0:08:19them, we are stopped from filming. China is building a total
0:08:19 > 0:08:23surveillance state. It's a place where seeing, doing or even thinking
0:08:23 > 0:08:28the wrong thing can get you locked up in an internment camp. And as you
0:08:28 > 0:08:32can see, it's a place where foreign journalists are certainly not
0:08:32 > 0:08:40welcome. Where ever we go in Xinjiang, we are
0:08:40 > 0:08:44constantly hassled, detained, monitored and followed. Like
0:08:44 > 0:08:50thousands, this man has fled to Turkey. He thought his wife and
0:08:50 > 0:08:55mother would be safe at home. He's since heard that they've been taken
0:08:55 > 0:09:00to the camps. TRANSLATION:From early morning until late evening she
0:09:00 > 0:09:05is only allowed to sit on the hard chair. My poor mother has to endure
0:09:05 > 0:09:12this punishment every day. My wife's only crime was to be born her
0:09:12 > 0:09:15religion, and because of that she lives in a re-education camp where
0:09:15 > 0:09:20she has to sleep on the ground. I don't know whether they are alive or
0:09:20 > 0:09:26dead. I can't bear it any more. I would rather they were executed than
0:09:26 > 0:09:30abused to death by the Chinese government.He says he has no idea
0:09:30 > 0:09:38what happened to his children. Today, the British government raised
0:09:38 > 0:09:43its concerns about the treatment of Muslims here, including restrictions
0:09:43 > 0:09:47on religious practice. Such a frank statement in the middle of the prime
0:09:47 > 0:09:54ministerial visit will not go down well. China is seeking the UK's
0:09:54 > 0:09:59backing for a planned to use Xinjiang's desert highways is a new
0:09:59 > 0:10:05economic corridor to Central Asia and beyond. It insists the threat of
0:10:05 > 0:10:08Islamic terrorism with a number of attacks in recent years is a real
0:10:08 > 0:10:15one. Can I ask you some questions? Is it difficult to answer questions?
0:10:15 > 0:10:24But a police state breeds fear. And can stop the very resentments China
0:10:24 > 0:10:27says it's trying stamp out.
0:10:31 > 0:10:33John mentioned China's new Silk Road initiative -
0:10:33 > 0:10:36and that takes me back to Theresa May in Beijing
0:10:36 > 0:10:38because we also want to draw your attention to a story
0:10:38 > 0:10:43that is not happening.
0:10:43 > 0:10:46This is the Financial Times, pointing out that even under
0:10:46 > 0:10:53pressure Mrs May has not signed up to support this move.
0:10:53 > 0:10:56It's officially called the Belt and Road initiative and it
0:10:56 > 0:10:58will vastly expand China's global reach over land and sea.
0:10:58 > 0:11:00I spoke the FT journalist who wrote that piece -
0:11:00 > 0:11:07here are his thoughts.
0:11:07 > 0:11:12I mean she did in China welcomed the initiative, particularly for the
0:11:12 > 0:11:17initiatives it would give British businesses but what she didn't do
0:11:17 > 0:11:20was sign the written memorandum of understanding that the Chinese have
0:11:20 > 0:11:25been putting quite a lot of pressure over the last few weeks on her to
0:11:25 > 0:11:32sign. I think the reason for that is severalfold, actually. One of the
0:11:32 > 0:11:36aspects is Britain's Western allies, the US, the EU, Germany and France,
0:11:36 > 0:11:40they haven't signed the memorandums of understanding either, although
0:11:40 > 0:11:46quite a lot of countries have and even some EU members in Eastern
0:11:46 > 0:11:50Europe power. So diverse reason for not signing it was pressure. Another
0:11:50 > 0:11:54reason was because the UK has concerns over how the infrastructure
0:11:54 > 0:12:00projects in the initiative are being awarded. Most purely going to
0:12:00 > 0:12:05Chinese companies. And also there are concerns over social and
0:12:05 > 0:12:09environmental impacts of these infrastructure projects.Because
0:12:09 > 0:12:12this is an absolutely massive project, linked to a series of
0:12:12 > 0:12:17projects. For the Chinese it really matters, doesn't it? It's about
0:12:17 > 0:12:22global economic prestige?It matters on so many levels. This is China's
0:12:22 > 0:12:27bid to change the world, really. It is a signature policy of the
0:12:27 > 0:12:34president. It embraces 70 countries between Europe and China. There are
0:12:34 > 0:12:37about 4.4 billion people living in those countries and all of those
0:12:37 > 0:12:42countries together account for about 40% of global GDP. What China is
0:12:42 > 0:12:47trying to do is building and financing infrastructure all across
0:12:47 > 0:12:52this area, it intends to shift the power balance in China's favour and
0:12:52 > 0:12:57thereby start to dictate more the global agenda.It is a tension
0:12:57 > 0:13:01Britain will face again and again, post-EU membership. Britain
0:13:01 > 0:13:07desperately wants to have China as a partner.Britain wants China as a
0:13:07 > 0:13:11partner and desperately needs Chinese contracts, Chinese trade and
0:13:11 > 0:13:14yet, as we've just discussed, what's happening in the world now is that
0:13:14 > 0:13:19there is a fork in the road occurring. One route follows the
0:13:19 > 0:13:22Chinese roots to grow for governments and the other route,
0:13:22 > 0:13:27which is the current route, is the world created by America since the
0:13:27 > 0:13:31Second World War. The UK is firmly in this camp, and yet in order to
0:13:31 > 0:13:34get those contracts that China is offering, China would like it to
0:13:34 > 0:13:40move slightly over into the Chinese camp. This is a very, very big
0:13:40 > 0:13:43geopolitical question.
0:13:43 > 0:13:46Stay with us on Outside Source - still to come...
0:13:46 > 0:13:48Scientists have fitted these polar bears with cameras
0:13:48 > 0:13:50and tracking devices, trying to discover why
0:13:50 > 0:14:00bears are getting skinny.
0:14:02 > 0:14:07A man who drove the van into Muslims outside a London mosque has been
0:14:07 > 0:14:11found guilty of murder.He ploughed into people in June last year,
0:14:11 > 0:14:15killing 51 yard and injuring nine others. Darren Osborne was also
0:14:15 > 0:14:19found guilty of attempted murder. The BBC correspondent Angus Crawford
0:14:19 > 0:14:24was in quart. The judge sent the jury out just
0:14:24 > 0:14:29before three o'clock today and it took less than an hour, 59 minutes
0:14:29 > 0:14:33for the jury of eight women and four men to come back with guilty
0:14:33 > 0:14:39verdicts. Guilty of murder, it guilty of attempted murder. Osborn
0:14:39 > 0:14:42in the dock made absolutely no reaction at all. What was really
0:14:42 > 0:14:47interesting about this case was the fact that he didn't come up with any
0:14:47 > 0:14:51kind of defence until very, very late in the day. Normally a defence
0:14:51 > 0:15:00is filed very early on, before the case actually begins but in this
0:15:00 > 0:15:03case, his defence came very, very late and it was, in the words of the
0:15:03 > 0:15:09prosecution, absurd.
0:15:09 > 0:15:11This is Outside Source live from the BBC newsroom.
0:15:11 > 0:15:15Our lead story is:
0:15:15 > 0:15:17Donald Trump is a day from releasing a Republican memo
0:15:17 > 0:15:20expected to accuse the FBI of bias against his presidency.
0:15:20 > 0:15:22And here's a few of the stories making news
0:15:22 > 0:15:23in the BBC Newsroom.
0:15:23 > 0:15:26The authorities in Myanmar say they'll investigate a report of mass
0:15:26 > 0:15:32graves containing the bodies of as many as 400 Rohingya Muslims.
0:15:32 > 0:15:35The Associated Press news agency says it's uncovered evidence there,
0:15:35 > 0:15:37of a massacre last August by the military.
0:15:37 > 0:15:40BBC Burmese are coving that story.
0:15:40 > 0:15:43And many of people are looking at this video
0:15:44 > 0:15:46on the BBC website.
0:15:46 > 0:15:49It's a Paris teenager taking advantage of the city's flooding.
0:15:49 > 0:15:53As you can see, he's wakeboarding down the street near his home.
0:15:59 > 0:16:01We have talked about China and Britain.
0:16:01 > 0:16:04As Britain gets ready to leave the EU the issue of the transition
0:16:04 > 0:16:06period has become a political minefield for Theresa May.
0:16:06 > 0:16:09Supporters of Brexit want a clean break with Europe next March.
0:16:09 > 0:16:14They worry a lengthy transition could see the UK sliding
0:16:14 > 0:16:17back, as they see it, towards Brussels' control.
0:16:17 > 0:16:20Well, the British Prime Minister today made a stand in perhaps
0:16:20 > 0:16:22the most contentious area - how migrants from the EU will be
0:16:22 > 0:16:29treated here after Brexit.
0:16:29 > 0:16:35Speaking on her trip to China she said, "I'm clear there's
0:16:35 > 0:16:39a difference between those who came prior to us leaving -
0:16:39 > 0:16:42and those who will come when they know the UK is no
0:16:42 > 0:16:43longer a member".
0:16:43 > 0:16:45The EU on the other hand sees it differently.
0:16:45 > 0:16:48Here's how Theresa May's suggestion went down
0:16:48 > 0:16:53in the European Parliament.
0:16:53 > 0:17:00We shall make a transition, citizens are part of the transition so the
0:17:00 > 0:17:03status quo includes citizens in this extended time. It is now not just
0:17:03 > 0:17:10the position of the parliament but the whole union, adopted in a
0:17:10 > 0:17:20directive unanimously by the council. It is a red line.
0:17:20 > 0:17:24Looking at this - here's Rob Watson.
0:17:24 > 0:17:28Let me keep this short and sweet or short and bitter. Transition is
0:17:28 > 0:17:31proving difficult because essentially it's going to look to
0:17:31 > 0:17:34most British people that Britain will effectively be staying in the
0:17:34 > 0:17:38European Union for another couple of years. And for some on the Leave
0:17:38 > 0:17:41side of the campaign, particularly inside the Conservative Party they
0:17:41 > 0:17:44think, hang on a minute, that's not what we signed up forks and that is
0:17:44 > 0:17:49why Theresa May is making a stand over the issue of immigration, but
0:17:49 > 0:17:53one I had to say that most commentators here and in Europe
0:17:53 > 0:17:58think she will lose.It is also fair to say that there has been some
0:17:58 > 0:18:04movement, for example if the UK will be able to make to trade deals in
0:18:04 > 0:18:07transition.That is true, although a lot of people will to live there
0:18:07 > 0:18:11won't be many countries in the world who will want to do a trade deal
0:18:11 > 0:18:15with Britain until they see what Britain's future relationship with
0:18:15 > 0:18:19the European Union will be. I think stepping back from that, there is a
0:18:19 > 0:18:24sense really that so far Britain has had to give away to everything that
0:18:24 > 0:18:28the European Union has demanded and essentially Theresa May is seen as
0:18:28 > 0:18:35really basically playing a poor hand badly. Why? Because it is felt she
0:18:35 > 0:18:37is the weak leader of a divided government and because written is
0:18:37 > 0:18:40simply not in a position to carry out its threat, to walk away from
0:18:40 > 0:18:49the talks, because there would be too much chaos without a deal.
0:18:49 > 0:18:52Donald Trump has been in West Virginia are meeting Republican
0:18:52 > 0:18:58lawmakers. The budget was on the agenda, after the Congressional
0:18:58 > 0:19:01budget office issued a warning that the US government could run out of
0:19:01 > 0:19:11money in early March. Pretty threatening prospect, a lot to
0:19:11 > 0:19:17concentrate the minds?That is right. The Congressional budget
0:19:17 > 0:19:19office as a congressional group. They said there would be enough
0:19:19 > 0:19:22money to go on until April at the debt ceiling was not raised but now
0:19:22 > 0:19:26they say it is only up to March. One of the reasons but that they are
0:19:26 > 0:19:31saying is because the government is earning less because of the recently
0:19:31 > 0:19:35passed tax bill. You will remember the big tax reform President Trump's
0:19:35 > 0:19:40big legislative victory. It was estimated that will cost the US
0:19:40 > 0:19:43government $1.5 trillion over the next ten years. But essentially they
0:19:43 > 0:19:48are saying it is because of that. The debt ceiling is essentially a
0:19:48 > 0:19:54ceiling for how much the government can borrow. It is large, $20.45
0:19:54 > 0:19:59trillion and the moment but essentially what they are saying is
0:19:59 > 0:20:04that ceiling needs to go up. How, go up? The Congress needs to vote on it
0:20:04 > 0:20:08and agree on it. This adds one more layer to be spending problems we
0:20:08 > 0:20:12have already been seeing in the US, where we had that shut
0:20:12 > 0:20:20down. The deadline for the spending bill is looming, next week 8th of
0:20:20 > 0:20:23February, and at the same time, President Trump and the Republicans
0:20:23 > 0:20:27will be hoping that firstly they can get some consensus on the spending
0:20:27 > 0:20:34bill and also get people to agree to raise the debt ceiling.
0:20:34 > 0:20:42Yogita Limaye, thank you.
0:20:42 > 0:20:43India's budget
0:20:44 > 0:20:45was announced on Thursday.
0:20:45 > 0:20:46Farming and rural development were the big winners,
0:20:47 > 0:20:50as Devina Gupta reports from Delhi.
0:20:50 > 0:20:53As India's Finance minister stepped out of his office this morning there
0:20:53 > 0:20:58was plenty of promise in the air. But in the end, they delivered the
0:20:58 > 0:21:03election-year budget many had expected. And within minutes of him
0:21:03 > 0:21:06starting his speech, it became clear what the government's main priority
0:21:06 > 0:21:14was.My government is committed to the welfare of the farmers. For
0:21:14 > 0:21:18decades, the country's agricultural policy and programmes has remained
0:21:18 > 0:21:24programmes centric. We had sought to affect a paradigms shift.With
0:21:24 > 0:21:27elections due next year, the government is looking to improve the
0:21:27 > 0:21:31lives of the rural population. The government's new help scheme which
0:21:31 > 0:21:38will ensure 500 million families was the biggest announcement. Closely
0:21:38 > 0:21:42followed by a tax cut for small industry, which many help will help
0:21:42 > 0:21:48boost employment.The fact they did it for 90% of the registered
0:21:48 > 0:21:54companies, rather than the actual business quantity, the turnover, I
0:21:54 > 0:21:58think that it is pragmatic and a move that will be looked at very
0:21:58 > 0:22:01well. The government is in a difficult
0:22:01 > 0:22:08spot. India wants an 8% growth rate but general elections are due in
0:22:08 > 0:22:14just over a year. The focus of the budget is rural areas, where two
0:22:14 > 0:22:17thirds of the population live, and the finance minister and the Prime
0:22:17 > 0:22:22Minister hope that a large voter base will be happy at the very
0:22:22 > 0:22:24least.
0:22:24 > 0:22:28Wall Street has been watching tech sector earnings
0:22:28 > 0:22:30from the 'big A's' - Google's parent Alphabet,
0:22:30 > 0:22:35Amazon and Apple.
0:22:35 > 0:22:41Let's see if we can get you an update on this, at least on Google.
0:22:41 > 0:22:46Dave Lee is watching the results. What are you hearing will ceiling?
0:22:46 > 0:22:52There is something about Outside Source which means whenever these
0:22:52 > 0:22:57stories are wrong, the results drop. Alphabets's results of cumin and
0:22:57 > 0:23:01Amazon's as well. Alphabets as much as a dropped after they came in
0:23:01 > 0:23:06below Wall Street's expectations for what they may earn hoping they would
0:23:06 > 0:23:14earn in this quarter. I will dig into the numbers on that, I can't
0:23:14 > 0:23:18give you a specific reason. Alphabet put out lots of software last year
0:23:18 > 0:23:21which investors would hope would boost this quarter's result, Pat
0:23:21 > 0:23:26Slaven happen. Amazon in contrast has doubled its revenues on this
0:23:26 > 0:23:28time last year. Beating expectations, which is why on this
0:23:28 > 0:23:30time last year. Beating expectations, which is why, last
0:23:30 > 0:23:35glance their shares are up by almost 4%, which is a very promising result
0:23:35 > 0:23:39for them. I would expect that to rise as more people see where the
0:23:39 > 0:23:43benefits are coming from. I can tell you that their cloud computing
0:23:43 > 0:23:50business, revenue from that has risen to over $5 billion, up from
0:23:50 > 0:23:53around 2.5- $3 billion last year. Big increases there. Amazon will be
0:23:53 > 0:23:59very encouraged by that. The one we are still waiting for, of course, is
0:23:59 > 0:24:04Apple and what we are looking for is sales of the iPhone ten. If they are
0:24:04 > 0:24:11strong, that will be good for Apple, if not, we could see their shares
0:24:11 > 0:24:19dip slightly as well.Dave Lee, thank you.
0:24:19 > 0:24:21This image comes from the harrowing footage released
0:24:21 > 0:24:24at the end of last year - showing an emaciated polar
0:24:24 > 0:24:25bear in Northern Canada.
0:24:25 > 0:24:27A group of scientists have been trying to find out what's
0:24:27 > 0:24:28happening to the bears.
0:24:28 > 0:24:33I got Victoria Gill to come and explain the story.
0:24:33 > 0:24:38It is interesting, that picture that went so viral back in December and
0:24:38 > 0:24:42caused such a stir, it wasn't really clear. There was controversy, it
0:24:42 > 0:24:46wasn't clear if the bear was ill or what time of year it was, what the
0:24:46 > 0:24:49exact location was... It was not clear. What researchers have done is
0:24:49 > 0:24:54looked through the polar bear's eyes by tracking down the colours that
0:24:54 > 0:24:58can turn cameras. We have seen the Arctic and the hunt from their
0:24:58 > 0:25:02perspective of the colours they have used, the team from the University
0:25:02 > 0:25:06of California, they fitted the colours to nine solitary female
0:25:06 > 0:25:11polar bears in spring, a critical time of year, when they need to hunt
0:25:11 > 0:25:14to fatten up for the summer when there is less sea ice and pray
0:25:14 > 0:25:19around and they going to fast. Those cameras, they had GPS tracking
0:25:19 > 0:25:24technology. The scientists also put metabolic tracer into the bear's
0:25:24 > 0:25:28blood. They have been able to combine all this data to show they
0:25:28 > 0:25:32are taking in less energy than they need when they are hunting. There
0:25:32 > 0:25:36are several things combining fair. They think by travelling further
0:25:36 > 0:25:40because the sea ice is diminishing, they are expended more energy
0:25:40 > 0:25:44looking for food.And that was Victoria Gill. If you have opinions
0:25:44 > 0:25:52are questions about any of our coverage, you can talk to us on the
0:25:52 > 0:25:56hashtag BBC OS. Lots more to look at, including Russian athletes who
0:25:56 > 0:26:00have had their doping ban is lifted and why.
0:26:06 > 0:26:09Hello. Let's take a look at some interesting weather making the
0:26:09 > 0:26:13headlines around the globe. Lots of whether to tell you about. We will
0:26:13 > 0:26:17head off to East Asia first. A cold northerly wind blowing. Temperatures
0:26:17 > 0:26:22for much of the Korean Valencia and eastern China pretty low, 10 degrees
0:26:22 > 0:26:25in Hong Kong. That is typical of the overnight lows but that is the
0:26:25 > 0:26:30daytime top temperature. Heavy rain for parts of Indonesia and across
0:26:30 > 0:26:34Australia. Some heavy showers and thunderstorms through central parts
0:26:34 > 0:26:38of Queensland. Not as hot as it has been in the south-east of Australia.
0:26:38 > 0:26:43Across to New Zealand, the remnants of the tropical storm have been
0:26:43 > 0:26:47moving across the South Island, bringing extremely heavy rainfall,
0:26:47 > 0:26:51gale force winds, causing significant disruption with roads
0:26:51 > 0:26:56closed and flights cancelled. Heading through Fred and into
0:26:56 > 0:26:59Saturday, a few showers left but improving. As a southerly breeze
0:26:59 > 0:27:02moves in, temperatures set to plummet in New Zealand was that in
0:27:02 > 0:27:06the next few days in North America, cold air heading in from central
0:27:06 > 0:27:10Canada to the eastern states. Milder air hanging on towards the West. If
0:27:10 > 0:27:13we look at the temperatures by Friday, things turning much colder
0:27:13 > 0:27:18in New York, not getting above freezing all day. Remaining mild
0:27:18 > 0:27:21towards California, with some rain and snow for British Columbia. Let's
0:27:21 > 0:27:27take a look at South Africa. In Cape Town, and ongoing extensive drought
0:27:27 > 0:27:31situation. In fact, the drought in Cape Town has been going on for
0:27:31 > 0:27:35three years. Reservoirs only at around 25% of their capacity. Their
0:27:35 > 0:27:41fears by the 12th of April, if we don't see significant rainfall, it
0:27:41 > 0:27:45could run dry altogether. Here is the forecast the Cape Town over the
0:27:45 > 0:27:49next four days, with no rainfall. Those temperatures are also will be
0:27:49 > 0:27:53on the rise. Elsewhere across Africa, a cold northerly wind is
0:27:53 > 0:27:57blowing across parts of Morocco and the Canary Isles. Gusty winds
0:27:57 > 0:28:01developing through Algeria and Tunisia, with a few showers around.
0:28:01 > 0:28:04Could be some or hill snow to come across the higher ground of Morocco.
0:28:04 > 0:28:08Further south, some rainfall across eastern parts of South Africa, up
0:28:08 > 0:28:14towards Zimbabwe and Botswana. For Europe, low-pressure developing in
0:28:14 > 0:28:20the Mediterranean, bringing heavy rains to the Balearics. For the
0:28:20 > 0:28:23Balkans, also strong southerly gales through the Adriatic combined with
0:28:23 > 0:28:28some heavy rain and also heavy snow across the Balkans could be
0:28:28 > 0:28:31significant flooding problems across as part of the world. We are keeping
0:28:31 > 0:28:34a close eye on that. Closer to home, the outlook for the UK weather.
0:28:34 > 0:28:39Things are going to be staying quite cold for the next few days. There
0:28:39 > 0:28:42will be some sunshine, a bit of rain over the weekend and things also
0:28:42 > 0:28:52turning less windy. I think Friday we will see the lion's share of the
0:28:52 > 0:28:55sunshine, turning wetter by the time we get to Saturday. Some stop
0:28:55 > 0:28:57possible over higher ground. We will keep you up-to-date, more in half an
0:28:57 > 0:28:59hour.
0:30:11 > 0:30:12Hello, I'm Philippa Thomas.
0:30:12 > 0:30:13This is Outside Source,
0:30:13 > 0:30:16and these are the main stories here in the BBC Newsroom:
0:30:16 > 0:30:18Donald Trump is a day from releasing a Republican memo expected
0:30:18 > 0:30:22to accuse the FBI of bias against his presidency.
0:30:22 > 0:30:24Theresa May meets with Xi Jinping in China -
0:30:24 > 0:30:30calling it a new golden era in the relationship.
0:30:30 > 0:30:3228 Russian athletes have lifetime doping bans overturned -
0:30:32 > 0:30:36opening their avenue to compete in the Winter Olympics.
0:30:36 > 0:30:38Every day Outside Source features BBC journalists working
0:30:38 > 0:30:39in over 30 languages.
0:30:39 > 0:30:43Your questions are always welcome.
0:30:43 > 0:30:53#BBCOS is the hashtag.
0:31:00 > 0:31:05Welcome to Outside Source.
0:31:05 > 0:31:08Rex Tillerson is about to set out on a tour
0:31:08 > 0:31:18of Central and South America.
0:31:18 > 0:31:22The US Secretary of State will visit Mexico, before
0:31:22 > 0:31:25moving on to Argentina, Peru and Colombia.
0:31:25 > 0:31:27And likely at the top of the agenda is the political
0:31:27 > 0:31:29unrest in Venezuela.
0:31:29 > 0:31:32In a speech in Texas a short time ago, Mr Tillerson
0:31:32 > 0:31:34pulled no punches - predicting change in the country,
0:31:34 > 0:31:35adding he wanted it to be peaceful.
0:31:35 > 0:31:42Take a listen.
0:31:42 > 0:31:50The corrupt regime in Venezuela claims to false claim and antiquated
0:31:50 > 0:31:59vision for the region that has already filled its citizens. It does
0:31:59 > 0:32:04not purport with the norms of our Caribbean and Latin American
0:32:04 > 0:32:12partners. We urge Venezuela to return to its constitution, to
0:32:12 > 0:32:15return to free, open and democratic elections, and to allow the
0:32:15 > 0:32:22Venezuelan people voice in our government.
0:32:22 > 0:32:24The Venezuelan President, for his part, has accused
0:32:24 > 0:32:26the United States of interfering in peace talks between his
0:32:26 > 0:32:27government and opposition parties.
0:32:27 > 0:32:29Let's get more on this with Barbara Plett Usher
0:32:29 > 0:32:30who joins me from Washington.
0:32:30 > 0:32:33It did sound a little bit as if Rex Tillerson was urging a regime
0:32:33 > 0:32:43change?
0:32:44 > 0:32:48Interestingly, he speculated on whether there might be a military
0:32:48 > 0:32:55coup to remove the president from power. It was an interesting way to
0:32:55 > 0:33:05set the tone for his trip because in his visits, he will be talking about
0:33:05 > 0:33:11those he meets. So far, only Canada has followed the US lead in terms of
0:33:11 > 0:33:15imposing sanctions on government and former government officials. But
0:33:15 > 0:33:22there is a group that follows the little messaging coming from
0:33:22 > 0:33:29Washington. For example they have also rejected the decision for early
0:33:29 > 0:33:34elections, as have the Americans, who have said it was just a way to
0:33:34 > 0:33:38entrench the regime of Nicolas Maduro. He will carry on the
0:33:38 > 0:33:43conversation with their reinforced position and try to push it further
0:33:43 > 0:33:48and he is also going to talk about the humanitarian situation and how
0:33:48 > 0:33:53to deal with that, especially when he visits Colombia because there are
0:33:53 > 0:33:58half a million Venezuelan refugees in Colombia.He starts with Mexico.
0:33:58 > 0:34:02We know about Donald Trump and Mexico in building the wall, the
0:34:02 > 0:34:12insults that have been flying. What has Rex Tillerson been doing?Yes,
0:34:12 > 0:34:14the wall, immigration, not to mention the North American Free
0:34:14 > 0:34:17Trade Agreement the administration has insisted must be renegotiated.
0:34:17 > 0:34:28Mexican officials have hinted they will cease negotiation if a
0:34:28 > 0:34:35breakthrough is not made. He set up a forum to deal with the
0:34:35 > 0:34:42cross-border crime cartels which involves his counterpart and also
0:34:42 > 0:34:45senior security officials have met a number of times. He will be building
0:34:45 > 0:34:51on that relationship. Is also attracting new ones Donald Trump's
0:34:51 > 0:34:58policy messages. For example, he said Nafta was a way to modernise
0:34:58 > 0:35:07the treaty for all involved, rather than to scuttle it. He has also sent
0:35:07 > 0:35:12other conciliatory messages regarding the wall. He said the
0:35:12 > 0:35:15Americans were trying to build capacity on the Mexican side for
0:35:15 > 0:35:19screwing the border. So think that's the tone he will take when he goes
0:35:19 > 0:35:25to Mexico.I like the way you talk about Rex Tillerson adding new ones
0:35:25 > 0:35:29to remarks from the president. A lot of people saying Rex Tillerson
0:35:29 > 0:35:33wouldn't last out the first year of this presidency, but he's still
0:35:33 > 0:35:37there are.Yes, and I think he may be here for the rest of the year.
0:35:37 > 0:35:40There was a period late in the year when there were lots of reports and
0:35:40 > 0:35:44rumours about his pro-relationship with the President. He has struggled
0:35:44 > 0:35:48at the State Department with reforms he is bringing in there and his
0:35:48 > 0:35:53management style, but he is also Kenneth again I think. He says he
0:35:53 > 0:35:56plans to stick around and it is looking more and more likely that he
0:35:56 > 0:36:08will, for the time being.Thank you.
0:36:08 > 0:36:1228 Russian athletes who had been banned for life for doping have had
0:36:12 > 0:36:14the decision overturned by the Court of Arbitration for Sport or CAS.
0:36:14 > 0:36:16They include cross-country skiing star Alexander Legkov -
0:36:16 > 0:36:19who won gold at the 2014 Sochi Winter Games.
0:36:19 > 0:36:21The ruling means he will have his medal reinstated.
0:36:21 > 0:36:24To remind you, the IOC banned the athletes for alleged
0:36:24 > 0:36:28doping offences at Sochi.
0:36:28 > 0:36:30Their cases were tied to allegations of systematic cheating
0:36:30 > 0:36:32by the Russian authorities.
0:36:32 > 0:36:40Now sport's top court says there was insufficient evidence
0:36:40 > 0:36:45to prove they had broken the rules.
0:36:45 > 0:36:49Now some of these athletes want to take part in next week's
0:36:49 > 0:36:51Winter Olympics in Pyongchang - though that would have to be
0:36:51 > 0:36:55as neutrals, not Russians.
0:36:55 > 0:36:57Needless to say the International Olympic Committee isn't
0:36:57 > 0:37:01happy with the decision.
0:37:01 > 0:37:06Here's the spokesman.
0:37:06 > 0:37:09This may have a serious impact on the future fight against doping.
0:37:09 > 0:37:11Therefore, the IOC will analyse the recent decisions very carefully
0:37:11 > 0:37:15once they are available and consider consequences including an appeal
0:37:15 > 0:37:18to the Swiss Federal tribunal.
0:37:18 > 0:37:22So what does this tell us about anti-doping in sport?
0:37:22 > 0:37:26Here's one analyst who runs an initiative aimed at fighting
0:37:26 > 0:37:33corruption.
0:37:33 > 0:37:40It tells us that in 20 years, it is still pretty messy and not very
0:37:40 > 0:37:46efficient, especially when there is a big power involved in this game. I
0:37:46 > 0:37:53think if we had had that situation with Honduras or Malaysia, we
0:37:53 > 0:37:55wouldn't have had that fast. The athletes would have been excluded
0:37:55 > 0:38:01from being part of a systemic doping setup. Fortunately there might be
0:38:01 > 0:38:05some rescue on the way because the World Anti-Doping Agency has
0:38:05 > 0:38:08recently tightened procedures so it should now be possible to make
0:38:08 > 0:38:14collective bands in the field of anti-doping.
0:38:14 > 0:38:17It's not yet clear whether these 28 athletes can compete in South Korea
0:38:17 > 0:38:19but we do know 169 Russian athletes are already competing
0:38:19 > 0:38:20as what are called neutrals.
0:38:20 > 0:38:23Here they with president Putin before they left yesterday.
0:38:23 > 0:38:28Russia has always denied it ran a state-backed doping programme
0:38:28 > 0:38:34Here's Mr Putin celebrating today's decison.
0:38:38 > 0:38:43TRANSLATION: We are happy for the athlete to have been cleared, but
0:38:43 > 0:38:46not everyone has been exonerated. Secondly, there is still work may
0:38:46 > 0:38:52need to do. It is absolutely clear, as far as perfecting our anti-doping
0:38:52 > 0:38:56programme and our policy, this is something we will be doing together
0:38:56 > 0:39:02with wider, the IOC and other international organisations. --
0:39:02 > 0:39:07together with W a DA.
0:39:07 > 0:39:16Olga Ivshina from the BBC's Russian Service has more.
0:39:16 > 0:39:21They have always said this is a collective punishment instead of a
0:39:21 > 0:39:29collective punishment to athletes. They will use it again and again. A
0:39:29 > 0:39:31number of high-ranking officials today made their political
0:39:31 > 0:39:42statements, including President Putin, the Prime Minister and
0:39:42 > 0:39:45others. He has said he will be representing their country, even
0:39:45 > 0:39:51though they will act as neutral athletes. And of course all this in
0:39:51 > 0:39:55Russia is viewed in upcoming presidential elections. Some of the
0:39:55 > 0:40:02sports people are actively supporting Vladimir Putin. At least
0:40:02 > 0:40:06from Moscow, it all looks like a huge political game, rather than
0:40:06 > 0:40:14just purely sport.
0:40:14 > 0:40:17Don't forget you can get much more detail on our top stories on our
0:40:17 > 0:40:20website including much more on the memo and everything you need to know
0:40:20 > 0:40:29about the Trump-Russia investigation.
0:40:29 > 0:40:34Now, we will move from the Pyeongchang to Nigeria.
0:40:34 > 0:40:36For the first time ever Nigeria will compete at the Winter Olympics.
0:40:36 > 0:40:39Take a look at this though The average temperature
0:40:39 > 0:40:49in the capital Lagos doesn't get below 25 degrees celsuis.
0:40:52 > 0:40:54in the capital Lagos doesn't get below 25 degrees Celsuis.
0:40:54 > 0:40:57But that hasn't stopped three female athletes who make up the country's
0:40:57 > 0:40:59bobsled team qualifying for the games.
0:40:59 > 0:41:01Alex Capstick went to meet them.
0:41:01 > 0:41:07We are the Nigerian women's bobsleigh team.
0:41:07 > 0:41:09We are the first team from the country of Nigeria...
0:41:09 > 0:41:13The first team from the continent of Africa...
0:41:13 > 0:41:15And the first team to be represented in the Winter Olympics
0:41:15 > 0:41:16in the sport of bobsleigh...
0:41:16 > 0:41:22..In Pyeongchang.
0:41:22 > 0:41:24They're known as the Ice Blazers, going where no
0:41:24 > 0:41:27African has gone before.
0:41:27 > 0:41:37Heading to a bobsleigh track at the Olympics.
0:41:48 > 0:41:50The opening ceremony, that would be really cool.
0:41:50 > 0:41:54We were just like, gosh, we are carrying the Nigerian flag
0:41:54 > 0:41:55in a Winter Olympics.
0:41:55 > 0:41:56Gosh!
0:41:56 > 0:41:58Born in America, like her team-mates, Seun Adigun qualifies
0:41:58 > 0:42:01for Nigeria through her parents, and it all began in her
0:42:01 > 0:42:03garage in Houston with a home-made wooden sled.
0:42:03 > 0:42:05Cool running!
0:42:05 > 0:42:07The exploits of the Jamaican men's team at the Calgary Olympics in 1988
0:42:07 > 0:42:17inspired a Hollywood movie.
0:42:18 > 0:42:19Comparisons are inevitable.
0:42:19 > 0:42:21It's really honourable, to say the least, that
0:42:21 > 0:42:2330 years later people are still singing their praises,
0:42:23 > 0:42:27and to say that we are along that same path of what people consider
0:42:27 > 0:42:28to be legendary.
0:42:28 > 0:42:30It's really humbling and it's an honour to receive.
0:42:30 > 0:42:32Just over a year ago, Seun recruited two team-mates
0:42:32 > 0:42:35who take it in turns to sit behind the driver.
0:42:35 > 0:42:37They knew nothing about the sport and its risks.
0:42:37 > 0:42:39After going to Whistler, that's the fastest track
0:42:39 > 0:42:41in the world, it was like, OK, this sport is actually
0:42:41 > 0:42:42pretty dangerous.
0:42:42 > 0:42:44You know, like people can get seriously hurt.
0:42:44 > 0:42:46Behind all the excitement, the fun, the global exposure,
0:42:46 > 0:42:49is a group of women who have no desire to be considered
0:42:49 > 0:42:50a novelty act.
0:42:50 > 0:43:00Rank outsiders, yes, but they also want to be taken
0:43:13 > 0:43:16seriously in their bid to set a new benchmark for Africa
0:43:16 > 0:43:17at the Winter Olympics.
0:43:17 > 0:43:20People didn't think we had a chance to make it to the Olympics
0:43:20 > 0:43:23so I think when you talk about things like that, anything can
0:43:23 > 0:43:24happen and we are here to compete.
0:43:24 > 0:43:27The team know they are unlikely to become the first Africans
0:43:27 > 0:43:30to stand on the podium at a Winter Games but they also know
0:43:30 > 0:43:32the Olympics is about more than just medals.
0:43:32 > 0:43:34263 million children worldwide are not in school.
0:43:34 > 0:43:36Now there's a growing awareness that the risks of a missed
0:43:36 > 0:43:38education include everything from radicalisation to migration.
0:43:38 > 0:43:40A high-level summit taking place in Senegal is aiming
0:43:40 > 0:43:42to raise 3.1 billion dollars to address the crisis.
0:43:42 > 0:43:46Our chief international correspondent, Lyse Doucet is there.
0:43:46 > 0:43:49Let's take a closer look at some of the challenges.
0:43:49 > 0:43:51One of the overwhelming issues in Senegal is the modernisation
0:43:51 > 0:43:53of Koranic schools - which are called daaras.
0:43:53 > 0:43:55Those are schools where children only study the muslim
0:43:55 > 0:43:56holy book, the Koran.
0:43:56 > 0:44:06Laeila Adjovi reports.
0:44:06 > 0:44:12The hash tag for this conference is to fund education. It is the first
0:44:12 > 0:44:18time they're holding this conference in a developing nation. Tomorrow,
0:44:18 > 0:44:25Emmanuel Macron will arrive to host it.
0:44:25 > 0:44:27Let's take a closer look at some of the challenges.
0:44:27 > 0:44:29One of the overwhelming issues in Senegal is the modernisation
0:44:29 > 0:44:31of Koranic schools - which are called daaras.
0:44:31 > 0:44:33Those are schools where children only study the muslim
0:44:34 > 0:44:35holy book, the Koran.
0:44:35 > 0:44:36Laeila Adjovi reports.
0:44:36 > 0:44:39It is a regular sight in Dakar, pupils of Daaras or Koranic schools
0:44:39 > 0:44:49begging in the streets.
0:44:55 > 0:44:58Most of them are from rural areas, their parents think
0:44:58 > 0:45:00they are receiving a religious education, but some will not learn
0:45:00 > 0:45:02a single verse of the Koran.
0:45:02 > 0:45:04A lucky few will end up at this safe house,
0:45:04 > 0:45:05The Children's Empire.
0:45:05 > 0:45:08There is food here, shelter and fun, salvation from the harsh
0:45:08 > 0:45:18conditions on the streets.
0:45:18 > 0:45:21TRANSLATION: If he doesn't return with the right amount
0:45:21 > 0:45:22of money, he will be beaten.
0:45:22 > 0:45:23The children are really maltreated.
0:45:23 > 0:45:26How can anyone bear to see children in that situation?
0:45:26 > 0:45:28They need love, affection and to be with their families.
0:45:28 > 0:45:29It is their right.
0:45:29 > 0:45:32This children's rights activist argues that the government is not
0:45:32 > 0:45:33doing enough to regulate Koranic schools and enforce
0:45:33 > 0:45:35an existing ban on begging.
0:45:35 > 0:45:37The bill to modernise Daaras was also drafted years ago but it
0:45:38 > 0:45:44has yet to become law.
0:45:44 > 0:45:47Over years there have been efforts to widen the curriculum
0:45:47 > 0:45:48of Senegalese Daaras by introducing subjects like maths,
0:45:48 > 0:45:50history or French classes.
0:45:50 > 0:45:53There are even attempts to change the learning for entire generation
0:45:53 > 0:45:59going to Koranic schools.
0:45:59 > 0:46:05In most pre-primary Koranic schools, this would not happen.
0:46:05 > 0:46:07There would be no playing with toys or drawing,
0:46:07 > 0:46:09there would be no girls, or at least not sitting
0:46:09 > 0:46:11in the same classroom as boys.
0:46:11 > 0:46:13And the core of the activities would revolve around
0:46:13 > 0:46:16memorising the Koran.
0:46:16 > 0:46:19The director of this Daara, based in working class
0:46:19 > 0:46:23neighbourhood, is among one of the imams encouraging change.
0:46:23 > 0:46:28TRANSLATION: I encourage all parents to support Daaras that aim
0:46:28 > 0:46:33to modernise Daaras.
0:46:33 > 0:46:37We have done a lot of work to understand the need to improve
0:46:37 > 0:46:40the quality of the element in the schools and the
0:46:40 > 0:46:46quality of education.
0:46:46 > 0:46:50There are open 5000 Koranic schools here, in this
0:46:50 > 0:46:53secular Muslim country, many parents are in favour
0:46:53 > 0:46:56of modernising the Daaras, striking the balance is one
0:46:56 > 0:47:04of the major challenges facing education in Senegal.
0:47:04 > 0:47:07Have you heard of deepfakes?
0:47:07 > 0:47:10They're videos where one person's face is replaced with another's -
0:47:10 > 0:47:20and the result looks really convincing.
0:47:22 > 0:47:24It's a technique that's been used inevitably for pornography videos,
0:47:24 > 0:47:27where the face of an actor or actress is replaced
0:47:27 > 0:47:28with that of a celebrity.
0:47:28 > 0:47:31Now the company that hosted many of these videos has announced
0:47:31 > 0:47:33that it's tracking them down and deleting them from the internet.
0:47:33 > 0:47:35Here's what we're talking about.
0:47:35 > 0:47:37The programme - the software - has been downloaded 100,000
0:47:37 > 0:47:41times in the month since its release.
0:47:41 > 0:47:44Don't worry, I'm not going to show you pornography,
0:47:44 > 0:47:44because the programme
0:47:44 > 0:47:47is also used with non-pornographic content, so here's our example.
0:47:47 > 0:47:50This is Germany's Chancellor Angela Merkel - take a look and see
0:47:50 > 0:47:51if you can make out whose face has been super-imposed.
0:48:07 > 0:48:11If you could make that out, it was Donald Trump's face.
0:48:11 > 0:48:14Well, to find out how these videos are causing so much harm,
0:48:14 > 0:48:17I spoke with our technology desk editor, Leo Kelion.
0:48:17 > 0:48:21That's right.
0:48:21 > 0:48:29What these are is basically a computer-generated video
0:48:29 > 0:48:35of a subject's face that is then merged with a real video clip.
0:48:35 > 0:48:40And the way this works is that there is a piece of software
0:48:40 > 0:48:43out there that you stick about 500 images of the person whose face
0:48:43 > 0:48:48you want the person to stimulate, plus the video clip,
0:48:48 > 0:48:52hit a button, go away for several hours, come back and you come back
0:48:52 > 0:48:54to what looks like a special effect from Hollywood where
0:48:54 > 0:48:55the is effectively changed.
0:48:55 > 0:48:57the face is effectively changed.
0:48:57 > 0:49:00The issue is that this is being used for pornography.
0:49:00 > 0:49:04It could be fun, could be artistic, but it is being used
0:49:04 > 0:49:06a lot for pornography, obviously without permission
0:49:06 > 0:49:12from the people whose faces are being used.
0:49:12 > 0:49:18But now this company has been the focus on a lot of these
0:49:18 > 0:49:20images says it finds it objectionable, or has realised
0:49:20 > 0:49:22it is objectionable.
0:49:22 > 0:49:22That's right.
0:49:22 > 0:49:25There is a service based in San Francisco where people upload
0:49:25 > 0:49:29short clips and by doing that they can then post it
0:49:29 > 0:49:32on to other sites on the internet, such as Reddit, where a lot
0:49:32 > 0:49:36of the stuff is being shared.
0:49:36 > 0:49:42This company has said it finds this is objectionable and on those
0:49:42 > 0:49:45grounds it started to delete the clips, so that if you click
0:49:45 > 0:49:52on them, up comes a notice saying you can't watch it.
0:49:52 > 0:49:53Does it say objectionable
0:49:53 > 0:49:55because it's only just noticed what's happening?
0:49:55 > 0:50:03I think objectionable because of the controversy.
0:50:03 > 0:50:05This has actually been going on in one form or another
0:50:05 > 0:50:08for a couple months, but two things have happened.
0:50:08 > 0:50:11First of all, we have had somebody about the algorithm for a piece
0:50:11 > 0:50:14of software so that you really don't need a lot of computer knowledge
0:50:14 > 0:50:15to be able to do this.
0:50:15 > 0:50:18And the other thing is motherboard, the news site, picked up on it.
0:50:18 > 0:50:21Then a whole bunch of the rest of the press started
0:50:21 > 0:50:31writing about it as well.
0:50:39 > 0:50:41Sending objects up into space has become a booming business
0:50:41 > 0:50:44so it's no surprise every now and then one goes missing.
0:50:44 > 0:50:47This is the Image satellite launched by NASA in the year 2000.
0:50:47 > 0:50:49It's mission was to observe the magnetic field around the earth
0:50:49 > 0:50:52which it did sending back images like this in 2002.
0:50:52 > 0:50:54But three years later it suddenly went quiet.
0:50:54 > 0:50:56Something had gone wrong and it stopped communicating.
0:50:56 > 0:50:58A team of experts from Nasa investigated but in 2006
0:50:58 > 0:51:00their final report failed to resolve the mystery.
0:51:00 > 0:51:0211 years later, the satellite has been found.
0:51:02 > 0:51:04The man responsible isn't in mission control -
0:51:04 > 0:51:07he's in a small community on the West Coast of Canada.
0:51:07 > 0:51:09Amateur astronomer Scott Tilley told me earlier about the moment
0:51:09 > 0:51:12he made his discovery.
0:51:12 > 0:51:15It was one of those kind of moments where you read all the technical
0:51:15 > 0:51:20information and you just have this emotion in the pit of your stomach.
0:51:20 > 0:51:22It's like wow, it came back to life.
0:51:22 > 0:51:29It was just an emotional moment.
0:51:29 > 0:51:32And then I set to work in trying to work out
0:51:32 > 0:51:34how to communicate what I had just discovered.
0:51:34 > 0:51:37Perhaps you knew you find out that an entire Nasa team
0:51:37 > 0:51:40with all their funding was looking for this and you stumbled across it.
0:51:40 > 0:51:43And then I think you had a conversation with your wife over
0:51:43 > 0:51:53breakfast about what to do with the discovery?
0:51:53 > 0:51:55a lost satellite in space,
0:51:55 > 0:51:58surely you are smart enough to find someone's e-mail address and find
0:51:58 > 0:52:02out who was the guy who built it, reach out to him and let him know
0:52:02 > 0:52:03what you've got.
0:52:03 > 0:52:07Like a small child, I went to the computer and did my final bit
0:52:07 > 0:52:10of homework and found the doctor's e-mail address and sent him a note.
0:52:10 > 0:52:12And did you not say, hello, I've found your satellite?
0:52:12 > 0:52:15Essentially, yes.
0:52:15 > 0:52:18I was a little bit more technical about it.
0:52:18 > 0:52:21I wrote a blog on the internet, provided evidence that I hoped
0:52:21 > 0:52:24would at least attract enough attention for them to look.
0:52:24 > 0:52:27Tell us why you were looking in the first place, why you spend
0:52:27 > 0:52:37so much time scanning the skies for us?
0:52:38 > 0:52:45I track and classify military satellites as a hobby.
0:52:45 > 0:52:47I was looking at a classified government mission that was
0:52:47 > 0:52:48launched in late January.
0:52:48 > 0:52:51Myself in a small group of amateurs around the world
0:52:51 > 0:52:52are doing that right now.
0:52:52 > 0:52:56But instead I found this missing Nasa space probe.
0:52:56 > 0:52:58This weekend marks one of the high-points on the American
0:52:58 > 0:53:00sporting calendar.
0:53:00 > 0:53:06I'm talking of course about the Super Bowl.
0:53:06 > 0:53:07The game is being played in Minneapolis.
0:53:08 > 0:53:11The two teams to make
0:53:11 > 0:53:14this year's big game are Boston and Philadelphia, two cities that
0:53:14 > 0:53:16are steeped in history, rich in culture, and populated
0:53:16 > 0:53:17by obsessive, and somewhat obnoxious fans.
0:53:17 > 0:53:18As Mat Morrison explains.
0:53:18 > 0:53:21This year's Super Bowl pits the city of brotherly love against Beantown.
0:53:21 > 0:53:23Rocky against Paul Revere.
0:53:23 > 0:53:27This guy against that guy.
0:53:27 > 0:53:30Yes, but Philadelphia and Boston are known for their rabid fans,
0:53:30 > 0:53:34sometimes a bit too much so.
0:53:34 > 0:53:41I am ready for the Super Bowl!
0:53:41 > 0:53:43Philadelphia, self-described Crisco cops have greased up the light
0:53:43 > 0:53:45bulbs, they do not want trouble.
0:53:45 > 0:53:52Then there was the inebriated fan in Philadelphia
0:53:53 > 0:53:54who punched a police horse.
0:53:54 > 0:54:04That happened twice.
0:54:05 > 0:54:08For Patriots fans, that that wraps up fans the wrong way,
0:54:08 > 0:54:10sense of entitlement appearing in eight of the last 17
0:54:11 > 0:54:12Super Bowl is will do that.
0:54:12 > 0:54:14Philadelphia where is the face of the underdog.
0:54:14 > 0:54:17Dog mask fans have sold out.
0:54:17 > 0:54:18And do not get other side started on food,
0:54:18 > 0:54:21ask a Philly fan it's
0:54:21 > 0:54:25all about cheesecake.
0:54:25 > 0:54:26In Boston clam chowder.
0:54:26 > 0:54:30All this rivalry on and off the field is a shame because the two
0:54:30 > 0:54:31cities have a lot in common.
0:54:31 > 0:54:35Both are East Coast port cities are found in the 1600s when the area
0:54:35 > 0:54:37with a collection of British colonies are both hotbeds
0:54:37 > 0:54:47of revolution before America split from Britain.
0:54:47 > 0:54:49Boston has Ironsides and Philadelphia has Constitution Hall
0:54:49 > 0:54:50and the Liberty Bell.
0:54:50 > 0:54:54In the end, there can only be one winner and there is more than just
0:54:54 > 0:54:55a football game at stake.
0:54:55 > 0:55:03There was also a wager between the mayors of Philadelphia
0:55:03 > 0:55:05and a Massachusetts town near Boston the home of real-life
0:55:05 > 0:55:13boxer Rocky Marciano.
0:55:13 > 0:55:16The winning city gets to dress a statue in team colours.
0:55:16 > 0:55:18Now it is Patriots versus Eagles, city versus city,
0:55:19 > 0:55:20Rocky versus Rocky.
0:55:20 > 0:55:29Or that is left to do is play a game of football.
