0:00:00 > 0:00:02was going to be fired with a vote of no confidence tomorrow. History in
0:00:02 > 0:00:06the making, President Zuma has resigned as president of South
0:00:06 > 0:00:18Africa. Hello, welcome to Outside Source. It is over for South
0:00:18 > 0:00:22Africa's embattled president, Jacob Zuma, who has just said in the last
0:00:22 > 0:00:26few minutes he will resign. Twin scandals in golf the White House,
0:00:26 > 0:00:31one involving a pawn star, the other an alleged wife-beater. The Kremlin
0:00:31 > 0:00:39won't confirm US air strikes killed Russian mercenaries in Syria.
0:00:39 > 0:00:40Want to run faster?
0:00:40 > 0:00:42The solution could be doing one simple thing: smile.
0:00:42 > 0:00:51We'll speak to the expert who carried out the research.
0:01:00 > 0:01:03We have been waiting all day to hear his statement, we have had it in
0:01:03 > 0:01:06just the last few minutes. The embattled South African President
0:01:06 > 0:01:10Jacob Zuma has finally said he has been compelled to resign as
0:01:10 > 0:01:16president of South Africa. He went on national television half an hour
0:01:16 > 0:01:20ago, spoke to just about half an hour, saying I have come to the
0:01:20 > 0:01:23decision to resign. This has followed weeks of intense political
0:01:23 > 0:01:28pressure from his own party to stand down. He addressed the nation a
0:01:28 > 0:01:33short while ago, let's listen to a little of what he had to say.
0:01:33 > 0:01:40It is now public knowledge that the National Executive Committee of the
0:01:40 > 0:01:50ANC resolved to recall me as the president of the republic. I have
0:01:50 > 0:02:01also learned that before I respond to the initial decision, a new
0:02:01 > 0:02:09decision has been made by the ANC, whose effect is that I have now been
0:02:09 > 0:02:20compelled to resign by way of a motion of no confidence, set down
0:02:20 > 0:02:24for tomorrow, 15th Avery 2018.
0:02:24 > 0:02:28So there we are, we are talking about the final straw in this whole
0:02:28 > 0:02:32process that would have been a vote of no confidence held in the South
0:02:32 > 0:02:35African parliament on Thursday morning. That was the ultimatum, if
0:02:35 > 0:02:38he didn't step down by the end of today that he would be facing that.
0:02:38 > 0:02:43So he left it right to the very end of the day, nearly 11 o'clock South
0:02:43 > 0:02:46African time, finally saying he did not fear a vote of no-confidence
0:02:46 > 0:02:50compete for that was the right way that a president should be removed,
0:02:50 > 0:02:54if a president serving the time under the Constitution, but then
0:02:54 > 0:02:57towards the end of the speech gave those words that he will resign, and
0:02:57 > 0:03:03he had been under so much pressure to resign. This is the ANC treasurer
0:03:03 > 0:03:06general, who were setting that ultimatum to Jacob Zuma earlier
0:03:06 > 0:03:15today.We can no longer wait beyond today. We don't want to keep South
0:03:15 > 0:03:26Africa waiting. President Zuma at some point will respond. The
0:03:26 > 0:03:31decision has been taken. It must be implemented, so my message to the
0:03:31 > 0:03:36caucus today was that there must now proceed and Parliamentary process.
0:03:36 > 0:03:40It has been a day of question marks. We thought we would hear earlier in
0:03:40 > 0:03:44the day from Jacob Zuma, that was moved, another couple of hours,
0:03:44 > 0:03:48moved again, then a nearly one long rambling interview, asking the
0:03:48 > 0:03:52public to think that he has done nothing wrong, wondering in AYA why
0:03:52 > 0:03:56he had been treated as a victim. But right at the end of the evening in
0:03:56 > 0:04:01South Africa, just wondering dash-mac -- just moments ago, Jacob
0:04:01 > 0:04:05Zuma officially giving notice that he would resign. Here it is.I have
0:04:05 > 0:04:12therefore come to the decision to resign as president of the republic,
0:04:12 > 0:04:23with immediate effect. Even though I disagree with the decision of the
0:04:23 > 0:04:30leadership of my organisation, I have always been a disciplined
0:04:30 > 0:04:39member of the ANC. As I leave, I will continue to serve the people of
0:04:39 > 0:04:49South Africa, as well as the ANC, the organisation I have served all
0:04:49 > 0:04:59of my life.Now the expectation is that the deputy president and new
0:04:59 > 0:05:02leader of the ANC, Cyril Ramaphosa, will now take the place of Jacob
0:05:02 > 0:05:06Zuma, and that that no-confidence vote in the South African parliament
0:05:06 > 0:05:09will no longer be necessary. We will bring you plenty more on this story
0:05:09 > 0:05:14as soon as we get it later on Outside Source.
0:05:16 > 0:05:21Donald Trump's long-time personal lawyer has admitted privately paying
0:05:21 > 0:05:25a porn star more than $100,000 a month before the US
0:05:25 > 0:05:34elections in 2016.
0:05:34 > 0:05:38We turn to Anthony Zurcher for insight into US politics -
0:05:38 > 0:05:40I talked to him about the new details in these story.
0:05:40 > 0:05:42SSOURCE
0:05:42 > 0:05:45What we heard today was confirmation that payment had been made just
0:05:45 > 0:05:49weeks before the presidential election. What we didn't hear from
0:05:49 > 0:05:54Michael Cohen, Donald Trump was Makalio, was why he made it, but the
0:05:54 > 0:05:56Wall Street Journal reported last month that the payment was made in
0:05:56 > 0:06:01exchange for a nondisclosure agreement that Stormy Daniels signed
0:06:01 > 0:06:05that would prevent her from talking about a 2006 affair she said she had
0:06:05 > 0:06:10with Donald Trump. We just heard recently breaking news was that
0:06:10 > 0:06:14Stormy Daniels's personal manager has said that because Michael Coen
0:06:14 > 0:06:18talk to the New York Times in the story that she now is free from that
0:06:18 > 0:06:22nondisclosure agreement, something that Coen hadn't confirmed, but she
0:06:22 > 0:06:26will be talking about the details of this affair very soon. So I think
0:06:26 > 0:06:31the story is only just beginning to get warmed up.Wow, OK Anthony, stay
0:06:31 > 0:06:34with us. From the matter of the pawn star to the matter of the alleged
0:06:34 > 0:06:40wife-beater. Robin Porter, the White House staffer who resigned, he was
0:06:40 > 0:06:45allowed to serve as a top aide to President Trump, even after his two
0:06:45 > 0:06:49ex-wives told the FBI he had physically and emotionally abused
0:06:49 > 0:06:56them.
0:06:57 > 0:07:00Let's go back to Anthony. Do we know what was known by the White House at
0:07:00 > 0:07:06the time this man was fired?It has been a shifting story, the White
0:07:06 > 0:07:09House had tried to save a just learned about it last week but
0:07:09 > 0:07:12reports are that they have known about it quite some time. This is
0:07:12 > 0:07:18from Christopher Ray, that they had basically closed the investigation
0:07:18 > 0:07:22the middle of last year and finished the file as recently as January. But
0:07:22 > 0:07:26all this information had been passed on to the White House, including
0:07:26 > 0:07:31details about Rob Porter's spousal abuse. Mr Porter himself had spoken
0:07:31 > 0:07:36with the White House about it, so they had known that direction and in
0:07:36 > 0:07:39fact an ex-girlfriend of Rob Porter Possum Akkad communicated with the
0:07:39 > 0:07:42White House counsel about her concerns with Rob Porter in that
0:07:42 > 0:07:49position. So the fact they have been shifting their story and moving away
0:07:49 > 0:07:54from the earlier assertions that they acted clearly, I think it is a
0:07:54 > 0:07:57reflection of the fact that there is a lack of confidence in the White
0:07:57 > 0:08:00House on how to deal with this. This is the main reason why the story
0:08:00 > 0:08:06doesn't seem to be going away any time soon.
0:08:06 > 0:08:09Let's return to southern Africa for another story that has broken in the
0:08:09 > 0:08:13last couple of hours.
0:08:13 > 0:08:14Morgan Tsvangirai,
0:08:14 > 0:08:16the veteran Zimbabwean opposition leader who fought Robert Mugabe's
0:08:16 > 0:08:19regime for many years, has died after battling against cancer.
0:08:19 > 0:08:29Shingai Nyoka takes this look back at his life.
0:09:12 > 0:09:14As a challenging one of Africa's ruthless and shrewdest
0:09:14 > 0:09:16leaders, the odds were always against Morgan Tsvangirai.
0:09:16 > 0:09:18What he lacked in formal education and
0:09:18 > 0:09:21liberation war history come he made up for in boldness, and his
0:09:21 > 0:09:22popularity soared.
0:09:22 > 0:09:24As leader of the trade unions, he led the largest
0:09:24 > 0:09:25anti-government protests since independence, cutting
0:09:25 > 0:09:27the unions's traditional ties with government.
0:09:27 > 0:09:29Disillusioned with the defector 1-party state and a biting economy,
0:09:29 > 0:09:30Zimbabweans were ready for an alternative.
0:09:30 > 0:09:33The MDC was born, in contrast to Mr Mugabe's exclusionary
0:09:33 > 0:09:34politics, Mr Tsvangirai welcomed everybody.
0:09:34 > 0:09:36President Tsvangirai managed to bring together the
0:09:36 > 0:09:38students, the workers, farmers, traditional leaders, war veterans,
0:09:38 > 0:09:39business people.
0:09:39 > 0:09:40Stunned by his popularity, the response was
0:09:40 > 0:09:41visceral.
0:09:41 > 0:09:43With endless arrests, beatings and an assassination
0:09:43 > 0:09:44attempt and treason charges.
0:09:44 > 0:09:47President Mugabe suffered his first ever defeat at the poles to Mr
0:09:47 > 0:09:50Tsvangirai, who later pulled out of the run-off because of vote
0:09:50 > 0:10:00rigging and violence.
0:10:03 > 0:10:07He did not want to do the cheat, which was then advanced to
0:10:07 > 0:10:09Morgan, he would have been president in that time.
0:10:09 > 0:10:15I, Morgan Richard Tsvangirai...
0:10:15 > 0:10:17Many were therefore disappointed when he agreed to serve
0:10:17 > 0:10:19under Mr Mugabe in a power-sharing agreement.
0:10:19 > 0:10:21In the following elections, he lost heavily.
0:10:21 > 0:10:22He blamed rigging.
0:10:22 > 0:10:25His critics said he had lost credibility, abandoned his
0:10:25 > 0:10:35working-class lifestyle.
0:10:36 > 0:10:39Ultimately it wasn't Robert Mugabe or the numerous parties split that
0:10:39 > 0:10:45ended his career, but: cancer.
0:10:45 > 0:10:47He failed to unseat Mr Mugabe, but many
0:10:47 > 0:10:49here will remember Morgan Tsvangirai as the working class hero, whose
0:10:49 > 0:10:54fight for democracy triggered the end of the Mugabe era.
0:11:01 > 0:11:05If you are just joining us, let's bring you the development from South
0:11:05 > 0:11:09Africa just in the last 20 minutes or so, Jacob Zuma, after weeks of
0:11:09 > 0:11:14pressure from his own party, has resigned. In a long half-hour speech
0:11:14 > 0:11:18he gave to the nation just about 11 o'clock local time, he resigned,
0:11:18 > 0:11:23saying he had come to the decision to resign. He will not now face that
0:11:23 > 0:11:27vote of no confidence in parliament. We will have more on that in a few
0:11:27 > 0:11:29minutes time.
0:11:29 > 0:11:31Stay with us on Outside Source - still to come...
0:11:31 > 0:11:33What does this Olympic gold medallist believe makes him cross
0:11:34 > 0:11:37the finish line faster?
0:11:37 > 0:11:40A clue - we can all do it - I'll explain - next.
0:11:43 > 0:11:45The Democratic Unionists say there's "no current prospect" of a return
0:11:45 > 0:11:47to devolved government in Northern Ireland and called
0:11:47 > 0:11:49on the Westminster government to start making policy decisions.
0:11:49 > 0:11:53The DUP has been trying to hammer out a deal with Sinn Fein to end
0:11:53 > 0:11:55a 13-month political crisis, but they remain deadlocked
0:11:55 > 0:11:57on the issue of the Irish language.
0:11:57 > 0:11:59Both sides at Stormont blamed each other for
0:11:59 > 0:12:09the breakdown of the talks.
0:12:09 > 0:12:13I think it is unfortunate that we haven't been able to reach a
0:12:13 > 0:12:18successful conclusion to the talks at this time. It is by far our
0:12:18 > 0:12:21preference that Northern Ireland be governed by locally elected and
0:12:21 > 0:12:24locally accountable ministers. That remains our aim, we will continue to
0:12:24 > 0:12:30work for that.We did and had an accommodation with the DUP, in terms
0:12:30 > 0:12:34of all the issues which are well-known to you all. The DUP
0:12:34 > 0:12:40failed to close on that deal, and on the accommodation, which we have
0:12:40 > 0:12:50found.

0:13:11 > 0:13:15The Danish royal family has announced that Prince Henrik,
0:13:15 > 0:13:17the husband of Queen Margrethe, has died.

0:13:41 > 0:13:47against Taylor Swift over her use of the phrase "haters gonna hate".
0:13:47 > 0:13:49Songwriters Sean Hall and Nathan Butler argued
0:13:49 > 0:13:52that her single Shake It Off stole from their song - Playas Gon' Play.
0:13:52 > 0:13:58The judge said the phrase is too banal.
0:14:02 > 0:14:05The development has finally come just before 11 o'clock local time,
0:14:05 > 0:14:10Jacob Zuma, South Africa's embattled president, gave a speech to the
0:14:10 > 0:14:16nation, and has announced his resignation. Let's go over to
0:14:16 > 0:14:25Pretoria. It was a long time coming, but he has finally resigned.It
0:14:25 > 0:14:30certainly has, and just in that last few moments that we saw the
0:14:30 > 0:14:34president, a big sense in the speech of not knowing exactly where it was
0:14:34 > 0:14:38going, very mixed messages in that speech, but the end the President
0:14:38 > 0:14:43did seem to get a bit choked up, especially when he changed to speak
0:14:43 > 0:14:47Zulu, when he used that opportunity to directly address South Africans,
0:14:47 > 0:14:50saying that everything he has done was out of his love for South Africa
0:14:50 > 0:14:56and for the ANC, and that he believed that if he did come short
0:14:56 > 0:14:58essentially asking for people's understanding. It has been a long
0:14:58 > 0:15:03road to get here, and a big surprise to a lot of people that it took the
0:15:03 > 0:15:08ANC finally depression out of power. Remind us why they got to this
0:15:08 > 0:15:11point, why we are seeing the South African president stepping down
0:15:11 > 0:15:19before the end of his official term? Well, at the heart of that are
0:15:19 > 0:15:24reports of corruption, linked to a wealthy business family here known
0:15:24 > 0:15:29as the Guptas. The draw is a very disillusioned jibber the president,
0:15:29 > 0:15:33and they are accused of using their friendship to gain access to
0:15:33 > 0:15:38billions of dollars worth of government contracts, allegations
0:15:38 > 0:15:42that they of course have designed -- denied and the president. But
0:15:42 > 0:15:46increasingly the ANC has become restless about this friendship, and
0:15:46 > 0:15:49close to the elections we are looking towards in 2019, have felt
0:15:49 > 0:15:52that the president has become a divisive figure within the party,
0:15:52 > 0:15:56somebody who might even cost them the election exchange, and he needed
0:15:56 > 0:16:02to go any needed to be now.The ultimatum came with that threat of a
0:16:02 > 0:16:05vote of no-confidence the South African parliament tomorrow. It
0:16:05 > 0:16:11really did go all the way, didn't it, pretty much?It certainly did,
0:16:11 > 0:16:17and this is quintessential zoomer style, really leaving things down to
0:16:17 > 0:16:20the wire. During the course of the day it really felt like a showdown
0:16:20 > 0:16:24between President Jacob Zuma and his followers comrades, and he did, when
0:16:24 > 0:16:30he was addressing the nation a short while ago, make reference to that
0:16:30 > 0:16:34motion of no confidence, saying he does not fear it firstly, so he is
0:16:34 > 0:16:37not stepping down because he is afraid to get a parliament, because
0:16:37 > 0:16:40that is an avenue the ANC can explore, but rather he doesn't want
0:16:40 > 0:16:45blood to be spilled in his name, and the leaders disagree with the
0:16:45 > 0:16:49decision the ANC has taken, he is willing to bow out. But a big sense
0:16:49 > 0:16:52that the president does feel misunderstood, perhaps even
0:16:52 > 0:17:00betrayed, by his comrades.And what happens now, now that President Zuma
0:17:00 > 0:17:05has stood down? Will Cyril Ramaphosa immediately take his place?That
0:17:05 > 0:17:10would be the plan. The next thing is to work out who will fill in the
0:17:10 > 0:17:12post of deputy president. It all become slightly less true Matic
0:17:12 > 0:17:17because that vote of no confidence falls away. The ANC has also just
0:17:17 > 0:17:20announced their acceptance of the President's resignation, so then
0:17:20 > 0:17:26moves to a process of this Friday, where they are planning to have the
0:17:26 > 0:17:30new president give the state of the nation address. But as we wake up
0:17:30 > 0:17:34tomorrow, we could be very much waking up to a new president in
0:17:34 > 0:17:40South Africa.So many twists and turns that finally that develop and
0:17:40 > 0:17:44that Jacob Zuma has announced his resignation.
0:17:44 > 0:17:46The latest inflation numbers from the world's biggest economy
0:17:46 > 0:17:47surprised markets today.
0:17:47 > 0:17:53Consumer Prices in the United States rose faster than expected
0:17:53 > 0:17:54in January, bouncing by 0.5%.
0:17:54 > 0:17:56Economists were expecting a rise...
0:17:56 > 0:17:58...of just 0.3%.
0:17:58 > 0:18:00Investors are worried this could prompt the central bank
0:18:00 > 0:18:06to raise interest rates faster than expected.
0:18:06 > 0:18:09Yogita Limaye is in New York.
0:18:09 > 0:18:16What is behind this?Well, I think you have seen a pretty strong US
0:18:16 > 0:18:19economy in the past few months. You have seen economic growth is
0:18:19 > 0:18:24steadily going up, but also the last them is that we had, especially on
0:18:24 > 0:18:29jobs, as well as on wage growth, that were strong as well. So wage
0:18:29 > 0:18:32growth was faster than expected, and the number of jobs has actually been
0:18:32 > 0:18:37at the lowest point it has in 17 years, sorry, no number of jobs,
0:18:37 > 0:18:41unemployment has been at the lowest point in 17 years. So that is the
0:18:41 > 0:18:45reason why we are seeing this kind of inflation. Traders were really
0:18:45 > 0:18:47bracing themselves as to what would happen because this number was
0:18:47 > 0:18:52raised before markets opened today, and when there are fears, and we saw
0:18:52 > 0:18:56this today, that interest rates will rise faster here in the US, we saw
0:18:56 > 0:19:01how markets reacted. They fell very steeply, last week, so a lot of
0:19:01 > 0:19:05people were expecting that happen. It hasn't happened. One of the
0:19:05 > 0:19:09reasons for that, traders as well as analysts are saying, is perhaps the
0:19:09 > 0:19:13markets have factored that income in a sense.What we think the Federal
0:19:13 > 0:19:19Reserve might do now?Their meeting is not until March. They have
0:19:19 > 0:19:24already said that they believe that they need to gradually increase
0:19:24 > 0:19:27interest rates here in the US. The expectation has been that there
0:19:27 > 0:19:31would be about two or three interest rate rises this year, and we will
0:19:31 > 0:19:36have to wait until March to see what indication they give us. It is I
0:19:36 > 0:19:39have to say widely anticipated as well that there will be a rate rise
0:19:39 > 0:19:45when they meet in March.Thank you very much.
0:19:45 > 0:19:50Valentine's Day is a ponderous, but thanks to be smartphone, Cupid now
0:19:50 > 0:19:54has another string to its bow. The online dating industry worth more
0:19:54 > 0:19:59than $5 billion every year. There are even apps that have few to find
0:19:59 > 0:20:04a potential partner using the thing from your music taste to your DNA.
0:20:04 > 0:20:10Tender, yes.I have been known to tender around.I have used tinder
0:20:10 > 0:20:17that I deleted it.We have all been on Tinder.Too call, too sporty, too
0:20:17 > 0:20:22vain.Many of the traditional dating websites try to bag you that special
0:20:22 > 0:20:26someone by asking you about your personal preferences. And while
0:20:26 > 0:20:31experts agree that online dating is good at widening the overall pool,
0:20:31 > 0:20:35is more day to relieve the solution to finding Mr or Mrs right?The
0:20:35 > 0:20:42research is now clear that using individual level information,
0:20:42 > 0:20:47personality, values, preferences, to try to predict who will be
0:20:47 > 0:20:52compatible in the future is a losing game.So if data isn't helping, how
0:20:52 > 0:20:56else can apps be used to track down our soul mates? One firm thinks it
0:20:56 > 0:21:02has the answer, and they think true love is all about chemistry.I am
0:21:02 > 0:21:07one of the co-founders and the CEO of Paramore.I am Chief scientific
0:21:07 > 0:21:13officer and co-founder. Paramore is a dating apps that matches singles

0:21:19 > 0:21:23a kit, extract the portion from your cheek cells that in codes for your
0:21:23 > 0:21:26DNA, and this way you would be of to look at who you'd be chemically and
0:21:26 > 0:21:31biologically attracted to.DNA is not everything, but that pheromones
0:21:31 > 0:21:35is what love at first sight is all about.Let's take you to a
0:21:35 > 0:21:39developing story that has been going on for a while, the scene of a
0:21:39 > 0:21:45school shooting in Florida. The police say that the gunmen they
0:21:45 > 0:21:53believe are still on the loose. This was footage from a bit earlier,
0:21:53 > 0:21:58students leaving their classes in a very formal manner. Police still
0:21:58 > 0:22:02continuing their investigation. There are casualties, according to
0:22:02 > 0:22:05the local authorities there in Florida, and we will bring new
0:22:05 > 0:22:10developments on that as we get them here. Now, before you put on your
0:22:10 > 0:22:15running shoes tomorrow morning perhaps, here is a tip. Smile.
0:22:15 > 0:22:17Researchers have found that grinning while you are out
0:22:17 > 0:22:20on the pavement will help actually make our efforts feel easier.
0:22:20 > 0:22:21Don't believe me?
0:22:21 > 0:22:23Well - this man, Kenyan marathon runner Eliud
0:22:23 > 0:22:24Kipchoge, is an advocate.
0:22:24 > 0:22:27He reckons that smiling in those last few miles of race helps him
0:22:27 > 0:22:30cross the finish line faster.
0:22:30 > 0:22:34Well, I tried it this morning on my run, and I can tell you that
0:22:34 > 0:22:35I think it might work.
0:22:35 > 0:22:42Earlier I spoke to the lead researcher, Noel Brick.
0:22:42 > 0:22:46Yes, so this was a study with did with 24 club level runners. We
0:22:46 > 0:22:54basically have them run for six minute blocks, even smiling,
0:22:54 > 0:22:56frowning or grimacing, trying to consciously relax or just maintain
0:22:56 > 0:23:01their normal thoughts. What we found was when runners were smiling, they
0:23:01 > 0:23:06were about 2.8% more efficient than when they were frowning, and also it
0:23:06 > 0:23:11felt a little bit easier.So nearly 3% over the course of a competitive
0:23:11 > 0:23:16marathon is a fair chunk of time off. Hiya yes, 2.8% improvement in
0:23:16 > 0:23:21efficiency would probably equate to about 2% in a marathon, so for a
0:23:21 > 0:23:25four hour marathon runner, potentially it could be about three
0:23:25 > 0:23:30minutes of their time, if they save energy in their way. What is going
0:23:30 > 0:23:34on physiologically that makes the difference, do you think?We think
0:23:34 > 0:23:41is happening is when we smile and experience a positive, pleasant
0:23:41 > 0:23:44emotional state like that, we become more relaxed, and a relaxed run is
0:23:44 > 0:23:49an efficient runner. We think by smiling people in our study relaxed
0:23:49 > 0:23:53and were more efficient as a result. So it is having a change in your
0:23:53 > 0:23:58demeanour, even if you are not provoked a smile by the actual
0:23:58 > 0:24:03experience of running?Yes, and as you mentioned earlier, some top
0:24:03 > 0:24:10level runners use it you mention one, he has said in interviews it is
0:24:10 > 0:24:14a very deliberate strategy to relax when he is really suffering at the
0:24:14 > 0:24:19end stages of a marathon, and it seems to work for him. He is Olympic
0:24:19 > 0:24:24champion.I tried this out on particularly hilly part of my run.
0:24:24 > 0:24:27Apart from feeling self-conscious, I have to say something felt a bit
0:24:27 > 0:24:33different. You are a runner as well, you have tried it out, what is it do
0:24:33 > 0:24:37for you?Similar to you, I think, and by the way I may be the worst
0:24:37 > 0:24:41person to ask, I may have a certain bias to believe that it will work
0:24:41 > 0:24:44for me, but it does make my run feel a bit easier and certainly feel a
0:24:44 > 0:24:50bit more pleasant, and certainly at the stage is where I am beginning to
0:24:50 > 0:24:53suffer, and I do feel tired, fatigue, bored even sometimes, it
0:24:53 > 0:24:58can be a useful strategy to try.Do you have any recommendations on how
0:24:58 > 0:25:02big a smile it has to be, and could it help us get through other tasks,
0:25:02 > 0:25:07doing something like smiling, through things that are difficult?
0:25:07 > 0:25:11Yes, it is a really good question. What we suggested in our study and
0:25:11 > 0:25:15what we found was probably the most of all things that it was a real
0:25:15 > 0:25:22smile, and individual enjoyment smile. Whether it works for other
0:25:22 > 0:25:27sports, we're not sure. If the same mechanism applies, the written a
0:25:27 > 0:25:31reason why it couldn't be effective for cyclists and other injuries
0:25:31 > 0:25:35athletes.Smiling through the pain. Let's update you on what we have
0:25:35 > 0:25:41heard out of South Africa in the last half hour or so. South African
0:25:41 > 0:25:46President Jacob Zuma has announced his resignation in a long speech, in
0:25:46 > 0:25:49which he seemed quite emotional at times. He said he had come to the
0:25:49 > 0:25:54decision to resign, after a huge amount of pressure from his own
0:25:54 > 0:25:58party, the African National Congress. Thank you for watching.
0:25:58 > 0:26:08Back in a few minutes.
0:26:09 > 0:26:11A lot
0:26:09 > 0:26:11A lot of heat and a lot of energy in
0:26:11 > 0:26:13A lot of heat and a lot of energy in the tropical were specific which has
0:26:13 > 0:26:17produced a lot of wind and rain. Most of it has come from this major
0:26:17 > 0:26:21cyclone, Cyclone Gita. Lovely picture on the satellite but you
0:26:21 > 0:26:24would not want to be underneath that. It battered Tonga and Maury
0:26:24 > 0:26:31Sunli Fiji, gusts of 170 mph. It is now moving just to the south of new
0:26:31 > 0:26:34Caledonia and over the next few days we will see the winds easing to a
0:26:34 > 0:26:37certain extent, and eventually that wet windy weather could sweep down
0:26:37 > 0:26:41towards New Zealand, early next week. That is something to watch out
0:26:41 > 0:26:47for certainly. By this stage on Saturday we are looking at this area
0:26:47 > 0:26:50of wind and rain, which could be a cyclone across the north of
0:26:50 > 0:26:54Australia, to the north of Port Headland. It will release during
0:26:54 > 0:26:57from the winds along the coast and intensify the already wet weather we
0:26:57 > 0:26:59have seen here.
0:27:02 > 0:27:05Heat building across the interior, it has been 45 degrees, building
0:27:05 > 0:27:14towards Queensland. Through the tropical belt, this area of cloud,
0:27:14 > 0:27:16this was tropical storm Sambu. It brought over 200 millimetres of
0:27:16 > 0:27:22rain, some flooding out of the Philippines. What is left of this
0:27:22 > 0:27:26system will be tracking through the South China Sea, weakening further
0:27:26 > 0:27:30that still being the potential for some heavy rain, clipping southern
0:27:30 > 0:27:34parts of Vietnam by the end of Friday. Some warm and wet weather
0:27:34 > 0:27:37around here. Head northwards, though, and things are very
0:27:37 > 0:27:42different. To the north of this band of cloud, we have some cold air
0:27:42 > 0:27:47across the Korean peninsula and into Japan. It has been very windy as
0:27:47 > 0:27:50well and are still very windy across northern parts of on shoot and
0:27:50 > 0:27:56Hokkaido in Japan. For the Korean peninsula, it looks like it will
0:27:56 > 0:28:05generally be dried. We have had rough weather for the Alpine event
0:28:05 > 0:28:08at the Winter Olympics will stop this is the Mountain forecast,
0:28:08 > 0:28:11called on Saturday, very much milder on Saturday that the Windsor -- on
0:28:11 > 0:28:22Sunday. Much lighter winds for those events going ahead on Sunday. Let's
0:28:22 > 0:28:24move into Europe, some wet and windy weather across the eastern
0:28:24 > 0:28:27Mediterranean, some snow over the high ground, and we have also got
0:28:27 > 0:28:31somewhere to whether fishing away from the UK into central Europe on
0:28:31 > 0:28:38Thursday. That will bring some snow for a while, as it but into the
0:28:38 > 0:28:43colder air, something much milder across France, those temperatures
0:28:43 > 0:28:47slowly recovering in Iberia. That weather front will continue to push
0:28:47 > 0:28:56its woods across Europe. Less cold in the south, but the big picture,
0:28:56 > 0:28:59the long-range forecast, is on the way a little later.
0:30:10 > 0:30:12Hello, I'm Karin Giannone, welcome to Outside Source,
0:30:12 > 0:30:14and these are the main stories here in the BBC Newsroom.
0:30:14 > 0:30:15America's top intelligence agencies have been
0:31:30 > 0:31:33I have therefore come to the decision to resign as president of
0:31:33 > 0:31:44the republic with immediate effect. Even though I disagree with the
0:31:44 > 0:31:54decision of the leadership, of my organisation, I have always been a
0:31:54 > 0:32:03disciplined member of the ANC. As I leave, I will continue to serve the
0:32:03 > 0:32:14people of South Africa as well as the ANC, the organisation I have
0:32:14 > 0:32:19surfed all of my life.President Zuma announcing his resignation in
0:32:19 > 0:32:27the last hour. Another developing story we're going to update you on.
0:32:27 > 0:32:33Out of the US. A gunman has opened fire at a school in Florida, we
0:32:33 > 0:32:38believe killing and above people. The high school in Parkland is in
0:32:38 > 0:32:45lockdown and has issued a code red. Let's speak to Patricia from BBC
0:32:45 > 0:32:57Monday oh. She's in Florida. -- BBC Mundo.The county sheriff department
0:32:57 > 0:33:03office just confirmed there are at least 14 victims as a product of
0:33:03 > 0:33:09this apparent shooting at the school. And they have been
0:33:09 > 0:33:14transported to two hospitals. The shooter is now in custody of the
0:33:14 > 0:33:18authorities.The news the shooter was still on the loose has been
0:33:18 > 0:33:23updated. They have somebody in custody.Yes. It's been updated
0:33:23 > 0:33:30about 20 minutes ago. This whole incident started about an hour, an
0:33:30 > 0:33:34hour and a half ago, when the police received reports of victims and an
0:33:34 > 0:33:40active shooter in the Marjorie Stone high school in parklands. One hour
0:33:40 > 0:33:47and a half north of Miami.We saw those pictures of students filing
0:33:47 > 0:33:51out of the school in rows, it must have been a terrifying experience
0:33:51 > 0:33:58for them. Yes. We've heard some students have been speaking to local
0:33:58 > 0:34:03media and that at first they thought it was a drill because earlier in
0:34:03 > 0:34:07the school day they listened to some construction movement outside of the
0:34:07 > 0:34:11school. What we saw from helicopter images was they were being evacuated
0:34:11 > 0:34:17in small groups. They looked very frightened and we saw some
0:34:17 > 0:34:24ambulances taking care of what may have been victims of this incident.
0:34:24 > 0:34:31Sadly school shootings are not a rarity in America.No, this happens
0:34:31 > 0:34:35quite often in the United States. What we see from the reports of
0:34:35 > 0:34:41local media is that students here especially in the public high school
0:34:41 > 0:34:46district all over the US are quite prepared to run away from situations
0:34:46 > 0:34:49like this and protect themselves until the authorities take care of
0:34:49 > 0:34:54it.Patricia joining us from Florida with the latest detail, thank you
0:34:54 > 0:35:05very much. Berra we've been talking about two places in Syria a lot, a
0:35:05 > 0:35:10suburb of the capital Damascus has been under siege since 2013 but for
0:35:10 > 0:35:15the first time in three months and aid convoy has entered the rebel
0:35:15 > 0:35:20held enclave delivering food and medical supplies for over 7000. It
0:35:20 > 0:35:25is thought 400,000 people are stuck in the district. The other place,
0:35:25 > 0:35:29where at least two Russians were killed during US air strikes a week
0:35:29 > 0:35:31ago, the Kremlin has denied knowledge of Russian mercenaries
0:35:31 > 0:35:33fighting in Syria.
0:35:36 > 0:35:42What we know at the moment is at least two deaths, two people were
0:35:42 > 0:35:47killed, two Russian citizens killed in the air strike. Other journalists
0:35:47 > 0:35:53also confirmed six other deaths, eight people allegedly killed during
0:35:53 > 0:35:58the air strike. All allegedly members of a private military
0:35:58 > 0:36:00company, it's not registered. Private military companies are
0:36:00 > 0:36:06illegal in Russia but this group is known to have operated in Syria for
0:36:06 > 0:36:13quite a while already, they started in 2013. Allegedly, according to
0:36:13 > 0:36:17sources who know the situation, they moved to East in Ukraine and helped
0:36:17 > 0:36:22pro-Russian separatists. In 2015 when Russia officially started its
0:36:22 > 0:36:27operations in Syria, they are officially started to help pro-Assad
0:36:27 > 0:36:32forces. It's not the first casualties of the Wagner group, but
0:36:32 > 0:36:36this is supposed to be the biggest single loss, the biggest loss which
0:36:36 > 0:36:44happened at one moment over that big period of time.To Barack, a country
0:36:44 > 0:36:47trying to rebuild after the devastating war with so-called
0:36:47 > 0:36:51Islamic State. $30 billion has been pledged to help in the form of
0:36:51 > 0:36:53financial donations from infrastructure and trade deals from
0:36:53 > 0:36:59countries around the world. That is a lot of money. It falls well short
0:36:59 > 0:37:03of the $88 billion in Baghdad wanted. The donations were promised
0:37:03 > 0:37:06at a conference in Kuwait in doubt helping Iraq rebuild. Here is the
0:37:06 > 0:37:13United Nations Secretary General. It's not only the physical return,
0:37:13 > 0:37:18it's the reintegration and re-conciliation within communities
0:37:18 > 0:37:22in order to be able for life to start normally. And for violent
0:37:22 > 0:37:29extremism not to be reborn. We don't only want to reconstruct physically,
0:37:29 > 0:37:33we want to rebuild society and to rebuild society, we need to
0:37:33 > 0:37:36strengthen the links among communities and create conditions
0:37:36 > 0:37:42for the stability of the country. If not, you're building one day to
0:37:42 > 0:37:48destroy the next.74 countries are pledging donations and investments.
0:37:48 > 0:37:52Iraq could struggle to get many more. It's the tenth most corrupt
0:37:52 > 0:37:58country in the world according to transparency International. Here is
0:37:58 > 0:38:03our correspondent.Turkey has been the most generous with $5 billion of
0:38:03 > 0:38:10investment and loans to Iraq. The hosting country, Kuwait, has pledged
0:38:10 > 0:38:13two million dollars in loans and investment. What is different here
0:38:13 > 0:38:19unlike other donors conference, this conference has focused on investment
0:38:19 > 0:38:23and most of the pledges coming from the countries have been investment
0:38:23 > 0:38:28opportunities or loans. The conference is over and it is now the
0:38:28 > 0:38:34turn to see how these pledges will translate to projects that will make
0:38:34 > 0:38:39more than 2 million Iraqi displaced people going back to their homes.
0:38:40 > 0:38:46We brought you a story published in a Malaysian newspaper which listed
0:38:46 > 0:38:49how to spot gay people. You may remember it said gay men like to
0:38:49 > 0:38:55wear tight clothes to show off their six-packs, have adopted brothers,
0:38:55 > 0:39:00adore beards, moustaches and branded clothes. It had lesbians hate men
0:39:00 > 0:39:04and enjoy belittling them, love to spend time alone and enjoy hugging
0:39:04 > 0:39:07and holding hands. Remember, homosexuality is illegal in
0:39:07 > 0:39:12Malaysia. The article has prompted a backlash from the LGBT community
0:39:12 > 0:39:17worldwide, including the British actor, singer and self-made gay icon
0:39:17 > 0:39:20John Barrowman who posted this on his Instagram right after seeing the
0:39:20 > 0:39:25story yesterday an Outside Source. Good afternoon everybody, we just
0:39:25 > 0:39:30saw an article on the BBC news report about the article that came
0:39:30 > 0:39:35out in a Malaysian newspaper. Everybody's pussyfooting around the
0:39:35 > 0:39:38whole situation. It's an article there to incite violence, totally
0:39:38 > 0:39:45incite violence against LGBTQ people. And for those of you who are
0:39:45 > 0:39:48LGBTQ and in a Malaysian, more strength to you and support from
0:39:48 > 0:39:54over here and is your brothers and sisters around the world. We need to
0:39:54 > 0:39:59help you fight this and in ways in which to do it, we have to think
0:39:59 > 0:40:03about, we can't let this kind of thing happen.That is John Barrowman
0:40:03 > 0:40:08responding to the story we ran an Outside Source yesterday. Of course
0:40:08 > 0:40:13we love hearing your thoughts. If you want to get in touch, the
0:40:13 > 0:40:28hashtag is... #BBCOS. Britain's Foreign Secretary has argued it
0:40:28 > 0:40:31would be a disaster to stop the process of withdrawing from the
0:40:31 > 0:40:35youth. In a policy speech in London Boris Johnson said he had recognised
0:40:35 > 0:40:38the feelings of grief and alienation among those who wanted Britain to
0:40:38 > 0:40:41remain in the EU but said it was the duty of the government to tackle
0:40:41 > 0:40:47fears about security and economy and he asked people to think positive.
0:40:47 > 0:40:52If we are to carry this project through to national success, as we
0:40:52 > 0:40:58must, we must also reach out to those who still have anxieties. I
0:40:58 > 0:41:06want today to anatomise at least some of the fears and show to the
0:41:06 > 0:41:11best of my ability that these fears can be allayed, and that the very
0:41:11 > 0:41:17opposite is true, that Brexit can be grounds for much more hope than
0:41:17 > 0:41:23fear.The BBC has correspondents all over Europe, we turn to them to
0:41:23 > 0:41:27explain what other countries want to hear from Europe over Brexit. First,
0:41:27 > 0:41:30Paris, where Emmanuel Macron wants to retain a strong relationship with
0:41:30 > 0:41:35the UK. But on the EU's terms.He in France the good news on Brexit is
0:41:35 > 0:41:41that a response to preserve a good working relationship with London. It
0:41:41 > 0:41:45is important in all sorts of areas notably security and defence. It
0:41:45 > 0:41:49doesn't mean Paris is being an easy pun in the Brexit negotiations,
0:41:49 > 0:41:53quite the contrary. President Macron has made clear in more than one
0:41:53 > 0:41:56occasion that in the city there will be no preferential arrangements. If
0:41:56 > 0:42:02you want to be part of the club, pay the fees. Overriding everything is
0:42:02 > 0:42:06not good or bad feeling, simply the world and confusion. France doesn't
0:42:06 > 0:42:10know how to react to react to the British position on Brexit because
0:42:10 > 0:42:14France doesn't know what the British position on Brexit actually is.
0:42:14 > 0:42:19Theresa May will be hoping to find a new negotiating partner in Poland.
0:42:19 > 0:42:23The government has supported some of deal for Britain but at this point
0:42:23 > 0:42:28Warsaw is walking the Uihlein. London and the government in Warsaw
0:42:28 > 0:42:31have good relations. In fact Downing Street thought Poland might break
0:42:31 > 0:42:37away from the EU consensus. That hasn't happened. Warsaw has already
0:42:37 > 0:42:43achieved its main Brexit goals. Securing the rights of polls now
0:42:43 > 0:42:47living in the UK and maintaining the current EU budget. What it now wants
0:42:47 > 0:42:52is a trading relationship that gives certainty to Polish businesses.
0:42:52 > 0:42:58Poland is arguing with the EU on many issues. On Brexit it's sticking
0:42:58 > 0:43:03to Brussels line.What about Germany. Angela Merkel may have been
0:43:03 > 0:43:06preoccupied by coalition talks over recent months but when it comes to
0:43:06 > 0:43:11Brexit her message has been clear. Berlin is very very unlikely to
0:43:11 > 0:43:16shift from its basic stance on Brexit and that is this: if Britain
0:43:16 > 0:43:20wants access to the single market, it will have two preserve freedom of
0:43:20 > 0:43:26movement. It's not going to change. Secondly what is unchanging is the
0:43:26 > 0:43:34broader view in Germany on Brexit. Britain matters to Germany and
0:43:34 > 0:43:38particularly to the very important business lobby. That relationship is
0:43:38 > 0:43:41key, considered crucial. What matters more here in Germany of
0:43:41 > 0:43:45course is holding together the future integrity of the European
0:43:45 > 0:43:51Union.Jenny Hill. If you have an Amazon Alexa you might want to
0:43:51 > 0:43:56switch it off for the next story. A TV commercial as automatically
0:43:56 > 0:43:59ordered cat food for a UK viewer by accidentally activating the Amazon
0:43:59 > 0:44:04Alexa Smart speaker in their living room. In case you don't know it's a
0:44:04 > 0:44:08voice activated device, you can ask it to play music, search the
0:44:08 > 0:44:12Internet and order things. Let's show you the advert that caused the
0:44:12 > 0:44:24issue.Alexa, reorder Purina beyond cat food.Order confirmed.The
0:44:24 > 0:44:27viewer cancelled the order and complained about the commercial but
0:44:27 > 0:44:30the advertising standards authority says it doesn't breach broadcasting
0:44:30 > 0:44:34codes. But it's not the first time this has happened, last year in the
0:44:34 > 0:44:39US a newsreader's voice was picked up by a number of Smart speakers and
0:44:39 > 0:44:45they ordered dolls houses and tins of cookies. Let's go to Sydney and
0:44:45 > 0:44:53talk to Charlie Brown. What do you make of all this?It's really a slow
0:44:53 > 0:44:57march forward to a new age of how we ordered goods. We want the
0:44:57 > 0:45:01convenience of being able to order by voice and it is a convenient way
0:45:01 > 0:45:05of doing it. Unfortunately we'll have to see a few slippages along
0:45:05 > 0:45:11the way. When we look at how we purchased goods traditionally, went
0:45:11 > 0:45:14to the store, bought them, then moved to the Internet, then apps,
0:45:14 > 0:45:18then voice. In the near future we'll use cameras and beacons in our
0:45:18 > 0:45:24pantries and refrigerators that have the ability to order food
0:45:24 > 0:45:27automatically as it used up. This isn't the first example we'll into a
0:45:27 > 0:45:33few problems, but I think having one issue out of hundreds of thousands
0:45:33 > 0:45:38of millions of people that use Alexa globally, it's a good strike rate so
0:45:38 > 0:45:43far.I believe there are controls or parental controls you can put into
0:45:43 > 0:45:47effect on the Alexa to try to stop this sort of thing from happening.
0:45:47 > 0:45:55There are. The way you order by Alexa is is because the instruction
0:45:55 > 0:46:01or the order and Alexa repeated back to you, then you have to confirm it.
0:46:01 > 0:46:07-- repeat it back. That method of ordering is built in. But also Alexa
0:46:07 > 0:46:10and other voice engagement services like Google home and that kind of
0:46:10 > 0:46:13thing, they can take a voice print of your voice, so the kids can't
0:46:13 > 0:46:17come up and pretend to be Hugh and order some presents, that kind of
0:46:17 > 0:46:25thing. -- pretend to be you. They are building safeguards in. I think
0:46:25 > 0:46:29we'll see a few more examples of this along the way somehow.It
0:46:29 > 0:46:33wouldn't surprise me. I wonder how unnerving you think it is to have
0:46:33 > 0:46:38these devices in our homes listening all the time, could they be
0:46:38 > 0:46:43considered spyware?They actually are spyware when you look at the
0:46:43 > 0:46:47mechanism of how they work. We've had listening devices in our home
0:46:47 > 0:46:51way before voice controlled speakers. Our smartphones have a
0:46:51 > 0:46:57microphone and the ability to listen to us. It's the app that decides
0:46:57 > 0:47:02whether it is listening and engaging. These speakers are a new
0:47:02 > 0:47:04example. More frightening because the response is more instantaneous.
0:47:04 > 0:47:10I know people that put their phones inside containers in what we call
0:47:10 > 0:47:13faraday cages which don't allow frequencies to transmit through
0:47:13 > 0:47:17them. When they start meetings for example, they are so worried about
0:47:17 > 0:47:22the listening ability of our tech devices, TV, fridges, that kind of
0:47:22 > 0:47:25thing are coming in, they will all do the same. The important thing to
0:47:25 > 0:47:30remember is you understand the privacy policies associated with the
0:47:30 > 0:47:33products you are using and how the technology works.Thank you very
0:47:33 > 0:47:44much. Let's go to but more in the US. For 11 days the city has gone
0:47:44 > 0:47:47without a homicide, its longest streak without a murder for four
0:47:47 > 0:47:51years. It began with a community ceasefire initiative starting on the
0:47:51 > 0:47:592nd of February. Let's show you the group, the Baltimore ceasefire 365,
0:47:59 > 0:48:03locals desperate for a reprieve from the violence. Streak ended with the
0:48:03 > 0:48:08death of a young man shot the chest on Tuesday, however. Baltimore has
0:48:08 > 0:48:13one of the highest homicide rate in the US, 26 people were killed there
0:48:13 > 0:48:18in January alone. The last time it had ten days without a murder was in
0:48:18 > 0:48:23March 2014. The BBC's correspondent has been following the story and
0:48:23 > 0:48:29joins me from Washington. How remarkable is this?Is pretty big
0:48:29 > 0:48:34deal, this is a city that is exhausted by homicide. Last year
0:48:34 > 0:48:37they had a murder almost every single day and to have a reprieve
0:48:37 > 0:48:43like this was a big relief for a lot of people. They were hoping for a
0:48:43 > 0:48:47weekend long ceasefire and it ended up being technically 12 days long.
0:48:47 > 0:48:50This was a big accomplishment, a big deal for people in Baltimore. Sadly
0:48:50 > 0:48:55it ended but it is still worth noting.Tell us why Baltimore has
0:48:55 > 0:49:03such a problem with violence.I think it is a multifaceted problem.
0:49:03 > 0:49:08Just one aspect, last year 88% of the homicides were committed with a
0:49:08 > 0:49:11firearm, so illegal firearms are gigantic problem in Baltimore. There
0:49:11 > 0:49:16is also a problem with poverty, with the education system, however far
0:49:16 > 0:49:19back you want to trace it. There is also a policing problem, the
0:49:19 > 0:49:25community doesn't trust its police force. A very big corruption trial
0:49:25 > 0:49:28ended in Baltimore this week which brought to light a lot of Baltimore
0:49:28 > 0:49:32residents have been saying about their own police force, they don't
0:49:32 > 0:49:35trust them, with information, when somebody's killed they don't report
0:49:35 > 0:49:38everything they know because they fear the organisation themselves.
0:49:38 > 0:49:42How strong was the feeling of the people who set up this group to get
0:49:42 > 0:49:49Baltimore to have murder free days? It was really palpable, one of the
0:49:49 > 0:49:52co-founders of ceasefire who I met and spend time with, Erica
0:49:52 > 0:49:57Bridgeford, is a force of nature. She is desperate to give the people
0:49:57 > 0:50:01she cares about in the city a break from this violence, but also has a
0:50:01 > 0:50:06clear eye about how difficult the task is. She takes these homicides
0:50:06 > 0:50:09to hard. The first Baltimore ceasefire weekend I joined her on,
0:50:09 > 0:50:13when somebody was killed in the ceasefire was broken, she cried at
0:50:13 > 0:50:16the scene even though she didn't know him. They care about this
0:50:16 > 0:50:22mission. They've called for a new ceasefire in May.How does this
0:50:22 > 0:50:26compare to the situation in Baltimore, to other cities around
0:50:26 > 0:50:31the United States?Baltimore is one of the highest per capita homicide
0:50:31 > 0:50:37rates. We hear about Chicago but Baltimore's per capita rate is
0:50:37 > 0:50:40worse, it's worse in the city of syllabus Missouri only. It's right
0:50:40 > 0:50:46there at the top. Gun violence is a huge problem. People don't feel
0:50:46 > 0:50:51safe, they fear gangs in the street and fear their own police force.
0:50:51 > 0:50:56They are trapped in no man's land to a certain extent.Thank you very
0:50:56 > 0:51:04much. The Winter Olympics are still going on in Seoul, let's take you
0:51:04 > 0:51:09through some of the main stories. The first one involves this short
0:51:09 > 0:51:17track speed skater disqualified for grade Piero after finishing second.
0:51:17 > 0:51:23She was awarded bronze. Almost immediately she started receiving
0:51:23 > 0:51:27online comments. Many abusive or threatening. The Canadian Olympic
0:51:27 > 0:51:31Committee has come to her defence, it says the health, safety and
0:51:31 > 0:51:36security of all our team members is our top priority and as such we are
0:51:36 > 0:51:45working closely with speed skating. South Korea has approved a plan to
0:51:45 > 0:51:52pay for the cost of hosting North Korea's delegation. There are just
0:51:52 > 0:51:5622 athletes competing, the entire delegation has more than 400 people
0:51:56 > 0:51:59in it and part of that is their cheerleading squad. We've got this
0:51:59 > 0:52:05look at the team.
0:52:06 > 0:52:09The North Korean propaganda machine is huge, but it's normally used
0:52:09 > 0:52:12within the country. To big up the personal reputation of this guy, the
0:52:12 > 0:52:21country's leader, Kim Jong-un. But over the last few days, the
0:52:21 > 0:52:28machine's most colourful part has hit the big time. The North Koreans
0:52:28 > 0:52:33have sent 22 athletes to the Winter games in South Korea. But they've
0:52:33 > 0:52:38sent a whopping 230 member cheer team. It is their first global
0:52:38 > 0:52:45appearance. They're making quite a show, one that is pretty different
0:52:45 > 0:52:50from that of their country's militaristic leader. The
0:52:50 > 0:52:54cheerleaders are in their 20s and 30s and have been trained from a
0:52:54 > 0:52:59young age. The women are sometimes referred to as Kim's army of
0:52:59 > 0:53:03beauties and his wife was once part of the so-called cheer squad. They
0:53:03 > 0:53:07are chosen because of their looks, height and family background.
0:53:07 > 0:53:10Loyalty to the cause is paramount, according to one defector, who said
0:53:10 > 0:53:16their job was to conquer with a smile. More than South Korea are
0:53:16 > 0:53:21bitterly divided. But the two nations are performing together at
0:53:21 > 0:53:27the games. The chip eaters aren't having quite the desired effect on
0:53:27 > 0:53:32the medal table yet, though. The Korean women's hockey team boss 8-0
0:53:32 > 0:53:37to Sweden. The real question is whether these displays of unity
0:53:37 > 0:53:41could have a lasting impact outside the sporting arena.
0:53:42 > 0:53:46I want to bring you a story about a small medieval town in Slovakia that
0:53:46 > 0:53:52is capturing hearts this Valentine's Day. You've probably never heard of
0:53:52 > 0:53:56this town it's been attracting couples for years because of its
0:53:56 > 0:54:02treasures. Not gold or diamonds, the hype is over this vault. It is known
0:54:02 > 0:54:07simply as the love bank. Inside more than 100,000 tiny drawers where
0:54:07 > 0:54:11couples deposit tokens of love in the hope of preserving their stories
0:54:11 > 0:54:23for eternity. Let's hear a little about how it works. A picture, a
0:54:23 > 0:54:26love letter, a ticket, anything that preserves the magic of your love
0:54:26 > 0:54:29story into these boxes.
0:54:29 > 0:54:29It's story into these boxes.
0:54:29 > 0:54:30It's now story into these boxes.
0:54:30 > 0:54:30It's now the story into these boxes.
0:54:30 > 0:54:30It's now the main story into these boxes.
0:54:30 > 0:54:32It's now the main attraction story into these boxes.
0:54:32 > 0:54:32It's now the main attraction at story into these boxes.
0:54:32 > 0:54:33It's now the main attraction at the story into these boxes.
0:54:33 > 0:54:36It's now the main attraction at the museum celebrating the world's
0:54:36 > 0:54:45longest love poem. A national Slovak treasure, as this local explains.I
0:54:45 > 0:54:49remember the pro-marina because it was compulsory reading at school.
0:54:49 > 0:54:55His elevation of a passionate but unfulfilled love.--
0:55:01 > 0:55:06this measures a couple's strength of love. Would you put your
0:55:06 > 0:55:09compatibility to the test? If you wanted to bang to love this
0:55:09 > 0:55:13Valentine's Day, you have to wait, it only opens on certain days. Let's
0:55:13 > 0:55:17show you a taste of how you could be celebrating next year.
0:55:45 > 0:55:52There you go, book flights for next year. Before we the news in the last
0:55:52 > 0:55:57hour, the South African President Jacob Zuma has announced his
0:55:57 > 0:56:00resignation. Thanks very much for watching Outside Source, I'm back
