0:00:09 > 0:00:19Hello, I'm Ros Atkins, this is Outside Source.

0:00:19 > 0:00:26Students are demanding a change to gun laws. President Trump says he is

0:00:26 > 0:00:31open to enforcing tighter background checks.

0:00:31 > 0:00:32Meanwhile the 17-year-old suspect, Nikolas Cruz,

0:00:32 > 0:00:34makes his second court appearance.

0:00:34 > 0:00:37He's accused of killing 17 students and teachers.

0:00:37 > 0:00:39Turkey warns Damascus against helping Kurdish fighters

0:00:39 > 0:00:41in north-west Syria where the Turks are carrying out

0:00:41 > 0:00:44a military offensive.

0:00:44 > 0:00:51One of Britain's most prolific paedophiles,

0:00:51 > 0:00:56is jailed for thirty-two years.

0:00:56 > 0:00:59Falder was one of the most prolific child exploitation offenders

0:00:59 > 0:01:04and blackmailers we've ever seen, in the UK or even in the US.

0:01:04 > 0:01:08BBC News just got bigger today - we hear about the two new language

0:01:08 > 0:01:18services that have just launched.

0:01:23 > 0:01:25The Florida shooting suspect, Nikolas Cruz made his second

0:01:25 > 0:01:34court appearance today.

0:01:34 > 0:01:39The 17-year-old is accused of 17 counts of murder.

0:01:39 > 0:01:49This was a status hearing and not part of the trial.

0:01:49 > 0:02:01We got this statement from the White House earlier.

0:02:01 > 0:02:12Last April the president said... Some people have jumped on that and

0:02:12 > 0:02:18said this is the president shifting his position. Others have said, not

0:02:18 > 0:02:24so much, it is just about enforcing what already exists.

0:02:24 > 0:02:31To a certain extent it is but it is a step towards greater enforcement.

0:02:31 > 0:02:36Arguably what would it have done to stop this shooting in Florida?

0:02:36 > 0:02:41Perhaps not very much because we know that Nikolas Cruz did by his

0:02:41 > 0:02:44guns illegally and there are loopholes, in spite of background

0:02:44 > 0:02:50checks you can still buy a gun from a private dealer or all without any

0:02:50 > 0:02:54background check. Although this is a check whether or not it would make a

0:02:54 > 0:02:57big difference in this shooting or any other is still a matter of

0:02:57 > 0:03:01debate. A couple of other things I want to

0:03:01 > 0:03:08ask you about.

0:03:13 > 0:03:19We are told he is recovering but has a long road ahead.

0:03:19 > 0:03:23Some of the survivors of this attack are now planning an attack on

0:03:23 > 0:03:27Washington that will happen next month. Here is one student on why

0:03:27 > 0:03:37she will be going.I want people to understand how much this hurts. How

0:03:37 > 0:03:41much it hurts to have your security and your friends and people that you

0:03:41 > 0:03:46see every day taken away from you all because this 19-year-old was

0:03:46 > 0:03:52allowed to buy a weapon and walk onto a school campus. I want people

0:03:52 > 0:04:00to realise that it is not OK and we need stricter gun control laws.

0:04:00 > 0:04:02America is listening to these students at the moment. They look

0:04:02 > 0:04:06like they are making the most of that chance.

0:04:06 > 0:04:09This is fascinating, the mobilisation of these young people,

0:04:09 > 0:04:14because they represent the biggest demographic block fought in the

0:04:14 > 0:04:22country. And although a lot of them cannot afford yet give them another

0:04:22 > 0:04:26year or so and they will, and they are angry and mobilise. And Congress

0:04:26 > 0:04:31is going to start listening to them pretty quickly because this is all

0:04:31 > 0:04:34about numbers. And we also see that young people of that sort of each

0:04:34 > 0:04:39group are the only lock that is going up in terms of how many of

0:04:39 > 0:04:45them fought each year. A very significant development and eight

0:04:45 > 0:04:48new developments. We have not seen this type of reaction from young

0:04:48 > 0:04:52people themselves, from the victims themselves, after these deadly

0:04:52 > 0:05:02shootings.

0:05:03 > 0:05:11Next we are going to talk about Syria.

0:05:11 > 0:05:19The Government has launched a number of attacks in this rebel on clear.

0:05:19 > 0:05:29-- rebel enclave. You can hear the pounding of the air

0:05:29 > 0:05:33strikes. Activists are seeing more than 70 civilians have died in the

0:05:33 > 0:05:38last 24 hours. The question is whether the Syrian army will launch

0:05:38 > 0:05:44an all-out offensive if the rebels do not surrender. There are 400,000

0:05:44 > 0:05:52people living there. Thank you for joining us. Given the

0:05:52 > 0:05:56upper hand held by the Government what options are available to the

0:05:56 > 0:06:03fighters and civilians there? The civilians are paying the highest

0:06:03 > 0:06:09price. The fighters are still trying to resist. There are mortars falling

0:06:09 > 0:06:26over Damascus. Some areas attacked our civilian areas.

0:06:34 > 0:06:40There are many civilians trapped there. The last few months were the

0:06:40 > 0:06:47worst in terms of bombardment. And the Government has reused barrel

0:06:47 > 0:06:56bombs. And the rebels controlling this

0:06:56 > 0:07:03area, where do they fit into the larger national picture in Syria?

0:07:03 > 0:07:14There are different groups. We do

0:07:15 > 0:07:19not have Isis. There are other Islamist groups, they are locals

0:07:19 > 0:07:34from the area. The vast majority of people in this area are civilians.

0:07:34 > 0:07:45There is a scarcity of food. This escalation in the attacks,

0:07:45 > 0:07:51surface to surface missiles, barrel bombs, all launched in the past 24

0:07:51 > 0:07:56of us. Over 70 civilians died in the past 24 hours. This is a worrying

0:07:56 > 0:08:04situation. When you talk to people on the ground they feel that nobody

0:08:04 > 0:08:16cares about the agony or about their death.

0:08:24 > 0:08:29Hours after Syrian state media reported that pro-government forces

0:08:29 > 0:08:31were about to enter Afrin in northern Syria, there's still no

0:08:32 > 0:08:33sign of their deployment.

0:08:33 > 0:08:36The enclave is held by Kurdish fighters who are under severe

0:08:36 > 0:08:42pressure from Turkey.

0:08:42 > 0:08:44Syrian State Media said the Government was going to help

0:08:44 > 0:08:47the Kurds which raised the prospect of a direct confrontation

0:08:47 > 0:08:48between Turkey and Syria.

0:08:48 > 0:08:54Here's the Turkish Foreign Minister.

0:08:54 > 0:09:02TRANSLATION: If they regime is sent into the area to confront PKK there

0:09:02 > 0:09:09is no problem but that comes in to protect YPG nobody can stop the

0:09:09 > 0:09:13Turkish army.

0:09:13 > 0:09:23This map shows the parts of Syria held by the Government -

0:09:25 > 0:09:30That is controlled by Kurdish forces known as YPG. A huge swathe of

0:09:30 > 0:09:38territory, much of which borders Turkey. Since news of this imminent

0:09:38 > 0:09:44arrival of troops supporting the Syrian Government, The Kurds have

0:09:44 > 0:09:49now reported an increase in shelling on their positions by the Turks. The

0:09:49 > 0:09:55consequences are already kicking in. Here is our reporter on why the

0:09:55 > 0:09:59Syrian Government has chosen to get involved.

0:09:59 > 0:10:03The Syrian Government offers to get involved two weeks before the

0:10:03 > 0:10:06Turkish offensive started because one of their targets is to take back

0:10:06 > 0:10:14as much territory as they can from Syria. This was under Kurdish

0:10:14 > 0:10:27control for months. It is for the interest to enter Afrin. It was for

0:10:27 > 0:10:31The Kurds to understand maybe they have to ask for help. Yesterday it

0:10:31 > 0:10:36was leaked, this agreement was leaked, by that Kurdish forces. It's

0:10:36 > 0:10:43made headlines this morning in the region in all newspapers. Later this

0:10:43 > 0:10:47afternoon and this evening, another spokesman said there is no deal. We

0:10:47 > 0:10:53have been waiting all day for this agreement is to be implemented. But

0:10:53 > 0:10:56it seems that there were some means that exploded when the

0:10:56 > 0:11:08implementation of this deal, and nothing happened all day, so the

0:11:08 > 0:11:18Syrian Government said some popular units are entering, it is not the

0:11:18 > 0:11:23regular army. These are troops who are sympathetic

0:11:23 > 0:11:30to the Syrian Government, offering their help to The Kurds. How

0:11:30 > 0:11:33significant a military intervention is that given that their opposition

0:11:33 > 0:11:39as the Turkish military? These popular units, according to

0:11:39 > 0:11:46how the Government called them, ARC pro-Iranian and union backed

0:11:46 > 0:11:53militias that are operating in neighbouring villages. These people

0:11:53 > 0:11:56are pro-government but they follow a different agenda as well.

0:11:56 > 0:12:01Entering in this region could be problematic for The Kurds and could

0:12:01 > 0:12:07be problematic for the Turkish forces as well. We started reading

0:12:07 > 0:12:10into these statements to understand why the agreement wasn't permitted

0:12:10 > 0:12:20all day and why Turkey has raised the tone. We have a number of

0:12:20 > 0:12:23statements by the Turkish Government saying this will complicate things

0:12:23 > 0:12:29and we will fight, we will not let the Syrian forces destroy our

0:12:29 > 0:12:37achievement in that area. All these several messages, there is something

0:12:37 > 0:12:43that is not understood in this deal, was not agreed on the higher level,

0:12:43 > 0:12:48was at local? Did the Americans and a few in that? Were the Russians on

0:12:48 > 0:12:54board with this? All the information that we have got, that the Russians

0:12:54 > 0:13:01were present in this deal. And if they are present they have informed

0:13:01 > 0:13:06the Turkish side. But where things blew up we still don't understand.

0:13:06 > 0:13:14And as we try and understand, our colleagues are helping us.

0:13:14 > 0:13:23And later we will be telling you about new language services with the

0:13:23 > 0:13:26prospect of helping millions of people.

0:13:33 > 0:13:36Prime Minister Theresa May has announced a review of university

0:13:36 > 0:13:38funding in England saying that students face some of the highest

0:13:38 > 0:13:43funding in the world. She also called for an end to outdated

0:13:43 > 0:13:50attitudes to technical education. Most journalists, politicians, took

0:13:50 > 0:13:55the academic group themselves and will expect their children to do the

0:13:55 > 0:13:59same. And there remains a perception that going to university is the only

0:13:59 > 0:14:02decidable route while going into training is something for other

0:14:02 > 0:14:08people's children. If we are going to succeed in building a fairer

0:14:08 > 0:14:13society and a stronger economy we need is to throw away this I stated

0:14:13 > 0:14:17attitude for good and create a system of tertiary education that

0:14:17 > 0:14:22works for all our young people. That means quality of access to

0:14:22 > 0:14:26university education not dependent on background, a greater focus on

0:14:26 > 0:14:28the technical alternatives also.

0:14:40 > 0:14:45Welcome back to Outside Source.The White House is saying President

0:14:45 > 0:14:49Trump is supportive of efforts to improve background checks on gun

0:14:49 > 0:14:52ownership following on from the shooting dead of 17 people at a

0:14:52 > 0:15:00Florida school. The Government of Iran says it

0:15:00 > 0:15:05cannot confirm that the passenger plane which crashed on Sunday has

0:15:05 > 0:15:13been spotted in a mountain range. 65 people were on board. Israel says

0:15:13 > 0:15:20it has signed a multi-billion dollar gas deal with Egypt. We understand

0:15:20 > 0:15:25that gas will be imported into Egypt, some of it may be liquefied

0:15:25 > 0:15:29there, and then exported again. Chinese authorities are demanding

0:15:29 > 0:15:33severe punishment for a man who is accused of stabbing fun stealing the

0:15:33 > 0:15:47thumb of this terracotta Warriors statue -- accused of breaking off

0:15:47 > 0:15:55the farm. We now have nearly 40 language

0:15:55 > 0:16:08services. BBC Bernie 's, BBC Russian.

0:16:08 > 0:16:20Today's focus is BBC Nigeria.

0:16:36 > 0:16:41This can be primarily accessed through your mobile. We have been

0:16:41 > 0:16:45asking people if they can sing the Nigerian national anthem in that

0:16:45 > 0:16:48language.

0:17:23 > 0:17:30THEY SING.

0:17:36 > 0:17:41These latest launchers are part of a bigger expansion of BBC world

0:17:41 > 0:17:47service and that is funded by the UK Government. It is giving around

0:17:47 > 0:17:53$120,000 per year and it is aimed at reaching half a billion people by

0:17:53 > 0:17:592022 all around the world. This was a next two years ago when the UK

0:17:59 > 0:18:03Government strategic defence and Security review said,

0:18:12 > 0:18:16There is nothing new in this. Lots of countries are investing in

0:18:16 > 0:18:23broadcasters. Russia, Turkey and China invests hugely in their

0:18:23 > 0:18:28broadcasters. It is worth adding that the UK Government might be

0:18:28 > 0:18:32funding this expansion but it is not telling BBC News what to say. We

0:18:32 > 0:18:36have been talking to some of the people in Nigeria who are about to

0:18:36 > 0:18:42get these new services.Last year the service was launched, it has

0:18:42 > 0:18:48attracted a young, vibrant, digitally connected audience. For

0:18:48 > 0:18:53months now there has been anticipation about the launch of the

0:18:53 > 0:19:05new services.What do people make of them? I learned very well from it.

0:19:05 > 0:19:18They will understand what is going on.Some of us cannot speak English

0:19:18 > 0:19:25fluently but if it is in our language.It is important to have

0:19:25 > 0:19:32something in our mother tongue.If you want to get their news from the

0:19:32 > 0:19:40BBC in one of 40 languages head to the website and the rest will be

0:19:40 > 0:19:46easy. Protectionism. Donald Trump is keen

0:19:46 > 0:19:52on it. He thinks free-trade deals have been bad for the US. He was to

0:19:52 > 0:19:57overhaul the free trade deal between Mexico, Canada and the US. He has

0:19:57 > 0:20:02pulled the US out of the transpacific partnership. And steel

0:20:02 > 0:20:13and aluminium production is central, he is proposing tariffs.

0:20:13 > 0:20:22And this is what the head of the UN trade body says.Anxiety amongst a

0:20:22 > 0:20:28large section of the population as a function of two different processes.

0:20:28 > 0:20:31At one level there is globalisation really assume that markets can fix

0:20:31 > 0:20:36things on their own. Trade cannot automatically create equality, there

0:20:36 > 0:20:39has to be a regulatory authority in the country that tends to distribute

0:20:39 > 0:20:45the benefits of trade. Having said that a lot of the jobs are being

0:20:45 > 0:20:51lost to automation. You have to combine these different things. The

0:20:51 > 0:20:58decline retreat of the welfare state. The absence of a mechanism

0:20:58 > 0:21:03that he distributes the benefits of trade.

0:21:21 > 0:21:24This is proving controversial because there are accusations that

0:21:24 > 0:21:38Donald Trump's Sun is exploiting the family's political influence.--

0:21:38 > 0:21:42Donald Trump's son. This is the advert that has been in

0:21:42 > 0:21:50the national dailies. Join Donald Trump Junior in conversation and

0:21:50 > 0:21:56dinner. This seems to be doing the trick. Just within one month of its

0:21:56 > 0:22:03launch, Trump Tower has already booked about 70 houses. That is a

0:22:03 > 0:22:122-storey property. Already 70 people have pre-booked these flats. The way

0:22:12 > 0:22:18it works out as that the developers would be taking over the

0:22:18 > 0:22:23construction and that Trump Tower is just involved with the branding and

0:22:23 > 0:22:28would be taking royalties. Although the developer of this project says

0:22:28 > 0:22:32that this was signed before Donald Trump became president, the timing

0:22:32 > 0:22:36of Donald Trump Junior could not be more curious because this is the

0:22:36 > 0:22:40time where we have seen a slump in the real estate market, especially

0:22:40 > 0:22:45in the area read this project was launched. It seems that this sales

0:22:45 > 0:22:48pitch is a booster for both builders to get that interest from luxury

0:22:48 > 0:22:54buyers. If you go to the BBC News website

0:22:54 > 0:23:00and look at the most red list right at the top is one story concerning

0:23:00 > 0:23:07KFC. It has had to close lots of outlets in the US -- in the UK

0:23:07 > 0:23:18because of a lack of chicken.

0:23:23 > 0:23:23No!

0:23:23 > 0:23:26When you've been promised KFC as a half term treat

0:23:26 > 0:23:27but there is no chicken.

0:23:27 > 0:23:28Nine-year-old Maxine is not happy.

0:23:28 > 0:23:29Angry.

0:23:29 > 0:23:30Sad.

0:23:30 > 0:23:31And disappointed.

0:23:31 > 0:23:32And hungry?

0:23:32 > 0:23:33Very hungry!

0:23:33 > 0:23:35Are you more hungry or angry?

0:23:35 > 0:23:36Hungry!

0:23:36 > 0:23:37It's not just Maxine's local outlet.

0:23:37 > 0:23:40Hundreds across the UK are shut because KF has no C.

0:23:40 > 0:23:41They've run out of chicken.

0:23:41 > 0:23:43Pretty shocking, really, to be fair.

0:23:43 > 0:23:45Pretty shocking.

0:23:45 > 0:23:50Especially when you're hungry, like, you know what I mean?

0:23:50 > 0:23:58KFC have blamed teething problems with the new delivery contract.

0:23:58 > 0:24:01They switched to DHL last week, who say operational issues have

0:24:01 > 0:24:02disrupted the supply.

0:24:02 > 0:24:04It's a chicken place, so they should have enough chicken.

0:24:04 > 0:24:06They should be able to store it.

0:24:06 > 0:24:08It's a big chain, so it does seem unbelievable, really.

0:24:08 > 0:24:09All the chicken...

0:24:09 > 0:24:14There's farmers, surely there should be enough chickens.

0:24:14 > 0:24:17We tried several outlets across Bristol today but found no

0:24:17 > 0:24:21fingers being licked.

0:24:21 > 0:24:24Almost every store closed.

0:24:24 > 0:24:26It's lunchtime.

0:24:26 > 0:24:28You'd expect these hatches to be really busy at this point

0:24:28 > 0:24:33but the kitchen is empty, the fryers switched off.

0:24:33 > 0:24:35Chicken with fries, please.

0:24:35 > 0:24:38Chicken with fries.

0:24:38 > 0:24:42It's a far cry from this.

0:24:42 > 0:24:44Tonight, the company is encouraging staff to take holidays until it can

0:24:45 > 0:24:49meet the demand again.

0:24:49 > 0:24:53KFC says its own employees will be paid, but the large majority

0:24:53 > 0:24:54of restaurants are franchises.

0:24:54 > 0:24:56It just seems amazing.

0:24:56 > 0:24:58I thought everything was pretty much automated these days

0:24:58 > 0:25:00and as they use chicken, more's ordered.

0:25:00 > 0:25:02Something has gone seriously wrong.

0:25:02 > 0:25:06The company says it's working flat out to rectify the problem.

0:25:06 > 0:25:09But, for some, that is little consolation.

0:25:09 > 0:25:19Jon Kay, BBC News.

0:25:24 > 0:25:28In a couple of minutes time we are going to turn to their Winter

0:25:28 > 0:25:33Olympics and talk about this Russian Cara who has tested positive for a

0:25:33 > 0:25:39banned substance. We are awaiting the second test butterfat is also

0:25:39 > 0:25:47positive he and his wife who won bronze in mixed doubles, FA are

0:25:47 > 0:25:52found -- if he is found to have cheated, they will lose their

0:25:52 > 0:26:02medals.

0:26:13 > 0:26:17We are going to start this week at the world whether in a place you do

0:26:17 > 0:26:22not normally associate with heavy outbreaks of rain, the Middle East.

0:26:22 > 0:26:25But this cloud has worked steadily eastwards and brought heavy falls of

0:26:25 > 0:26:31rain which would have been welcomed but also brought localised flooding.

0:26:31 > 0:26:3680 millimetres fell across parts of Lebanon, 70 millimetres in parts of

0:26:36 > 0:26:42Iran, and almost 100 and parts of Iraq. And as the winds picked up

0:26:42 > 0:26:49dust storms blew into Kuwait, turning the sky is orange. That area

0:26:49 > 0:26:55of low pressure has worked eastwards bringing heavy rain and mountain

0:26:55 > 0:27:01snow across Eastern areas of Iran and into Afghanistan. In the United

0:27:01 > 0:27:06States there is an area of cloud stretching from the Rocky Mountains

0:27:06 > 0:27:13to their Great Lakes, heavy snowfall across parts of Utah, South Dakota

0:27:13 > 0:27:22over the last 24 hours. That weather is working its way eastwards. Risk

0:27:22 > 0:27:26of flooding. Temperature contrasts across north America at the moment.

0:27:26 > 0:27:34Arctic air is entrenched in Canada, -15 in Winnipeg, but highs of 29

0:27:34 > 0:27:42Celsius in Miami. Double trouble in Australia and New

0:27:42 > 0:27:54Zealand, this is extra pickle cyclone Kelvin. This will be a

0:27:54 > 0:27:58double whammy of whether for New Zealand. Torrential falls of rain

0:27:58 > 0:28:05are on the way. 150-200 millimetres of rain across the South Island.

0:28:05 > 0:28:10Widespread flooding over the next couple of days. Then there is the

0:28:10 > 0:28:15winds, damaging and destructive gusts of wind reaching 80 mph. And

0:28:15 > 0:28:18the remains of Kelvin will bring heavy rain to parts of south and

0:28:18 > 0:28:25Western Australia. 150 millimetres of rain. There could be localised

0:28:25 > 0:28:31flash flooding. Big thunderstorms as well affecting Queens land. Closer

0:28:31 > 0:28:35to home, in Europe, if you love across Eastern Scotland, Eastern

0:28:35 > 0:28:39parts of England, I am sure you have noticed cloud and rain, it is tied

0:28:39 > 0:28:45in with this weather system which is bringing wet weather across France,

0:28:45 > 0:28:49Belgium and Holland. We will continue to see that mixture of

0:28:49 > 0:28:52Claudio Bravo weather lasting into Tuesday. There are signs that the

0:28:52 > 0:28:56weather is starting to turn colder across Europe and that could be a

0:28:56 > 0:28:58sign of things to come.

0:30:10 > 0:30:12Hello, I'm Ros Atkins, this is Outside Source,

0:30:12 > 0:30:13and these are the main stories here in the BBC Newsroom

0:30:15 > 0:30:18Students stage a "lie-in" outside the White House to demand changes

0:30:18 > 0:30:20to gun laws in America as President Trump says

0:30:20 > 0:30:27he's open to enforcing tighter background checks.

0:30:27 > 0:30:28Meanwhile the 17-year-old suspect, Nikolas Cruz,

0:30:28 > 0:30:34makes his second court appearance.

0:30:34 > 0:30:38He's accused of killing 17 students and teachers.

0:30:38 > 0:30:40One of Britain's most prolific paedophiles,

0:30:40 > 0:30:42Matthew Falder is jailed for 32 years.

0:30:42 > 0:30:52US Homeland Security describe him as the worst of his kind.

0:30:52 > 0:31:00He was one of the most prolific child exploiters in the UK and even

0:31:00 > 0:31:02the US.

0:31:23 > 0:31:27Olympic doping scandals come in many forms. Try this one out. This is a

0:31:27 > 0:31:35Russian athlete, he won a bronze medal, along with his wife, in the

0:31:35 > 0:31:39mixed doubles curling at the Winter Olympics in South Korea. He tested

0:31:39 > 0:31:46positive for meldonium, which can increase an athlete's injuries and

0:31:46 > 0:31:50recovery. I should show you some curling footage, just some general

0:31:50 > 0:31:54action to give you an idea. You probably wouldn't call it an injury

0:31:54 > 0:31:59in sport, so this has had a few people rubbing their heads. Here is

0:31:59 > 0:32:06a Russian curling coach at the Olympics. TRANSLATION:Let's wait

0:32:06 > 0:32:10for the official result. I can't comment on this yet but for me it is

0:32:10 > 0:32:15absolutely obvious that this cannot be possible, because after such a

0:32:15 > 0:32:19huge scandal in the last two years with meldonium, I did believe that a

0:32:19 > 0:32:22normal person could have taken it and use this method for the

0:32:22 > 0:32:25Olympics. He would have to be completely stupid. I just don't

0:32:25 > 0:32:31believe it. Sasha is an intelligent and normal boy. I don't believe that

0:32:31 > 0:32:35this is possible.It might seem unbelievable that a cola would cheat

0:32:35 > 0:32:39using a drug well-known, but it is also worth mentioning that when

0:32:39 > 0:32:43Russia hosted the Olympics in Sochi four years ago it also seemed

0:32:43 > 0:32:46unlikely that the host would be planning a huge operation to

0:32:46 > 0:32:50systematically doped many members of its own team, thus fundamentally

0:32:50 > 0:32:54undermining many of the events and being tired games. But that's what

0:32:54 > 0:32:57happened. That might also seem unlikely that four short years

0:32:57 > 0:33:02later, more than 150 Russian athlete would be allowed to compete in the

0:33:02 > 0:33:05Winter Olympics, despite Russia being banned, and despite us knowing

0:33:05 > 0:33:11about industrial scale cheating organised by the Russians. That's

0:33:11 > 0:33:14happening too. The athletes are called Olympic Athletes of Russia,

0:33:14 > 0:33:19not Russian Olympians, though you could be forgiven for not spotting

0:33:19 > 0:33:23the difference, they still wear red and white. There was another

0:33:23 > 0:33:27positive test at the Olympic 's last week, this Japanese speed skater was

0:33:27 > 0:33:31thrown out. So here is one anti-doping expert, looking at where

0:33:31 > 0:33:35we have got on this issue, this time around.This must be a huge

0:33:35 > 0:33:40disappointment for those who are trying very, very hard to make this

0:33:40 > 0:33:46a very clean games, but it is the second doping offence, or doping

0:33:46 > 0:33:50violation, rather, that is being reported. But it is perhaps more

0:33:50 > 0:33:55interesting to know that this particular substance is somewhat

0:33:55 > 0:34:00controversial. It was only added to the list in 2016, and perhaps the

0:34:00 > 0:34:06most famous athlete involved in this particular substance use was Maria

0:34:06 > 0:34:13Sharapova. So we know it has a medicinal use, but whether or not

0:34:13 > 0:34:16this particular individual had applied for and received a

0:34:16 > 0:34:23therapeutic use exemption, we may not know just yet. Initially, these

0:34:23 > 0:34:27strict liability will apply, and the athlete will be disqualified, unless

0:34:27 > 0:34:32they can somehow show there is good reason to consider this as a

0:34:32 > 0:34:36completely non-intentional, perhaps even a situation where the athlete

0:34:36 > 0:34:43has been spiked or targeted in some way, it was not their fault.For

0:34:43 > 0:34:50more on this particular drug, BBC Sport.The substance that he tested

0:34:50 > 0:34:54positive for cover meldonium, was developed in Latvia and still widely

0:34:54 > 0:34:58available over-the-counter in many Eastern European countries. Away

0:34:58 > 0:35:03from sport it is used to treat heart conditions, but the world

0:35:03 > 0:35:06anti-doping agency put it on the banned list in 2016 because of the

0:35:06 > 0:35:11standard could have informants enhancing qualities because it

0:35:11 > 0:35:14increases blood flow and as a result could be used as a drug to boost in

0:35:14 > 0:35:19June. Since it was put on the banned list, a number of Eastern European

0:35:19 > 0:35:23athletes have tested positive for this. As far as this one is

0:35:23 > 0:35:26concerned, I understand he has told Russian officials it could be as a

0:35:26 > 0:35:31result of a spiked drink at a pre-Olympic training camp. He has

0:35:31 > 0:35:35gone to Seoul to witness the opening of a B sample, if it comes back

0:35:35 > 0:35:39positive he will have the right to hearing from the Court of

0:35:39 > 0:35:41Arbitration for Sport, he could provide any evidence that could

0:35:41 > 0:35:45explain how the substance got into his system. If he is found guilty of

0:35:45 > 0:35:49a doping offence, that bronze medal they won in the mixed curling will

0:35:49 > 0:35:53be taken away, he could face a band of four years as well. This would

0:35:53 > 0:35:56have ramifications not just for him that for the neutral athletes, over

0:35:56 > 0:36:02150 of them competing in Jung Chang, because they hoped that Russia would

0:36:02 > 0:36:06be reinstated by the closing ceremony. The IOC said they would

0:36:06 > 0:36:09take all factors into consideration as to whether they have met all the

0:36:09 > 0:36:14rules and regulations, and also this case as well, it could have

0:36:14 > 0:36:18ramifications on that. They will make a decision, the IOC, as to

0:36:18 > 0:36:21whether Russia can march under the elliptic flag by the end of this

0:36:21 > 0:36:24week so we wait the outcome of this case.Now to one of the top stories

0:36:24 > 0:36:26here in the UK.

0:36:26 > 0:36:28A British paedophile who blackmailed victims has been sentenced

0:36:28 > 0:36:30to 32 years in prison.

0:36:30 > 0:36:32Matthew Falder was a university lecturer -

0:36:32 > 0:36:33and he admitted 137 offences.

0:36:33 > 0:36:35He was caught after an operation involving the UK, Australia,

0:36:35 > 0:36:39New Zealand, Slovenia and Israel and America.

0:36:39 > 0:36:49Here's what the US department of homeland security has said.

0:36:49 > 0:36:53Matthew Falder was one of the most prolific child exploiters and

0:36:53 > 0:36:59blackmail as we have ever seen or the US. It became the volume of

0:36:59 > 0:37:04victims and the techniques that were employed and the discipline that was

0:37:04 > 0:37:07employed around the internet not be identified and the court was

0:37:07 > 0:37:13something we had never seen before. More on this from the BBC's Sima

0:37:13 > 0:37:19Kotecha, who has been covering the entire trial.So what was it I have

0:37:19 > 0:37:24done, what is it I was supposed to have done?Dr Matthew Falder being

0:37:24 > 0:37:28arrested at his workplace last year. The 29-year-old spent years posing

0:37:28 > 0:37:33as a female artist online to trick his victims into sending him naked

0:37:33 > 0:37:39pictures of themselves.It sounds like the rap sheet from hell.He

0:37:39 > 0:37:42then researched their profiles on social media, and use that

0:37:42 > 0:37:47information to blackmail them into sending him more obscene images. He

0:37:47 > 0:37:50even installed secret cameras in people post Zack Holmes to film them

0:37:50 > 0:37:56in the shower and using the toilet. Falder contacted more than 300

0:37:56 > 0:38:00people worldwide. One of his victims told us she can no longer trust

0:38:00 > 0:38:07anyone.I was ashamed of what I have done. All relationships broke down.

0:38:07 > 0:38:11You can't be friends with someone that doesn't trust you, and I didn't

0:38:11 > 0:38:17trust them. Even though they did nothing wrong. And I did nothing

0:38:17 > 0:38:25wrong. There was no trust any more. Last year, he pleaded guilty to 137

0:38:25 > 0:38:30charges, including encouraging the rape of a child and possessing a

0:38:30 > 0:38:35paedophile manual. Today he was sentenced to more than 30 years.The

0:38:35 > 0:38:38feeling of helplessness he embodied in the victims, and took them to a

0:38:38 > 0:38:43place where they never wanted to go, is truly horrific. And those videos

0:38:43 > 0:38:49will be with me and the team probably for the rest of our lives.

0:38:49 > 0:38:52Falder was under surveillance for several months during a four-year

0:38:52 > 0:38:56investigation. The Cambridge graduate was identified by the

0:38:56 > 0:39:00National Crime Agency. They'd worked with partner agencies across the

0:39:00 > 0:39:03world, including the Australian Federal police and homeland security

0:39:03 > 0:39:07in America to find the man who was behind the messages. Falder lived in

0:39:07 > 0:39:12this block of flats. He worked at Birmingham University. Now, officers

0:39:12 > 0:39:17say his motivation was power and control. He wanted his victims to

0:39:17 > 0:39:20feel embarrassed and humiliated, and he was confident he could outwit the

0:39:20 > 0:39:26authorities. He contacted vulnerable people seeking work on websites. He

0:39:26 > 0:39:32then used names such as 666 double and evil mind on the dark net, to

0:39:32 > 0:39:37communicate with other paedophiles. The dark net is a type of private

0:39:37 > 0:39:44computer network that is closed off from the rest of the World Wide Web.

0:39:44 > 0:39:49Have you sent pictures of your blackmail victims to the parents of

0:39:49 > 0:39:53the victim?No comment.The grandparents?When questioned,

0:39:53 > 0:40:00Falder did not cooperate. Today the judgment called him a internet

0:40:00 > 0:40:03highway man. The paedophile showed no remorse or emotion throughout the

0:40:03 > 0:40:10proceedings. More information on that story and all the stories we

0:40:10 > 0:40:15cover on Outside Source on the BBC news website.

0:40:15 > 0:40:17There is full coverage on the Florida School Shooting

0:40:17 > 0:40:20and you can read more about President Trump and the gun

0:40:20 > 0:40:21control debate.

0:40:22 > 0:40:25The leaders of eight British cities were in Brussels today to hold talks

0:40:25 > 0:40:31with the EU's chief Brexit negotiator Michel Barnier.

0:40:31 > 0:40:32They are making the case to keep strong links

0:40:32 > 0:40:41with the EU after Brexit.

0:40:41 > 0:40:46These are the cities that held the meetings -

0:40:46 > 0:40:49London's not listed - the rest of the cities believe

0:40:49 > 0:40:54London is getting all the attention in Brexit negotiations.

0:40:54 > 0:40:59They are arguing they deserve the intention because Brexit will impact

0:40:59 > 0:41:04on their people.This is about putting UK cities on the map. In our

0:41:04 > 0:41:08region, we are really concerned we will end up with a Brexit that only

0:41:08 > 0:41:12works for the City of London. It has got to work for the whole of the UK

0:41:12 > 0:41:15economy forced there are thousands of jobs in our region at stake, and

0:41:15 > 0:41:19I've been making the case in the heart of Europe to make sure our

0:41:19 > 0:41:23region has a voice in these negotiations.But the British

0:41:23 > 0:41:32government is doing the what can you really do?We have been raising the

0:41:32 > 0:41:34point our cities are raising, representing our communities,

0:41:34 > 0:41:36talking at the interests of businesses and making sure this is

0:41:36 > 0:41:39not just seen as a London centric solution to Brexit, this is a

0:41:39 > 0:41:42solution that benefits the whole of the UK and puts all of our UK cities

0:41:42 > 0:41:46firmly on the map.Just before Christmas, we covered a story that

0:41:46 > 0:41:49the EU began unprecedented disciplinary proceedings against

0:41:49 > 0:41:52Poland.

0:41:52 > 0:41:54It argued that Poland's government was flouting the rule of law

0:41:54 > 0:41:56by attacking the independence of Polish courts and judges.

0:41:57 > 0:41:58The issue hasn't gone away.

0:41:58 > 0:42:04Not least because Poland's allies are clear they will stand by it.

0:42:04 > 0:42:06Hungary, Poland and most recently Austria have seen right-wing

0:42:06 > 0:42:14nationalist parties do well in elections.

0:42:14 > 0:42:17This week, Jenny Hill is looking at these divisions this

0:42:17 > 0:42:21is creating within the EU.

0:42:21 > 0:42:25Today, Jenny reports from Zambrov in Poland,

0:42:25 > 0:42:35on the success of the Law and Justice Party.

0:42:42 > 0:42:45When your country has come a long way, it is easy to feel left behind.

0:42:45 > 0:42:48Poland has gone from communism, to the EU, to relative prosperity.

0:42:48 > 0:42:50But out here, many felt forgotten - until now.

0:42:50 > 0:42:52Generous child benefits, a lower retirement age,

0:42:52 > 0:43:02small wonder perhaps the Pis government gets the family vote.

0:43:02 > 0:43:03TRANSLATION:Everyone, all the other parties make

0:43:03 > 0:43:07promises, but they don't deliver.

0:43:07 > 0:43:09Pis kept their promises, it is good and I support them

0:43:09 > 0:43:12and I don't see anything wrong with what they are doing.

0:43:12 > 0:43:20Quite the opposite.

0:43:20 > 0:43:25But they have divided a country, enraged the EU.

0:43:25 > 0:43:27Last year, protests in Warsaw, Pis attacks press freedom,

0:43:27 > 0:43:34access to abortion and the independence of the judiciary.

0:43:34 > 0:43:35TRANSLATION:The system is already broken.

0:43:35 > 0:43:37There is no balance of power.

0:43:37 > 0:43:39We are moving towards an authoritarian state.

0:43:39 > 0:43:41One party will dominate Parliament and will destroy independent

0:43:41 > 0:43:51justice.

0:43:51 > 0:43:52But resistance is giving way to resignation, the government

0:43:52 > 0:43:54is backed in part by the Catholic Church,

0:43:54 > 0:44:03the voice of tradition is growing louder.

0:44:05 > 0:44:07TRANSLATION:Most importantly was patriotism that drove me

0:44:07 > 0:44:09towards Pis, the patriotism I inherited

0:44:09 > 0:44:13from my grandparents and my parents.

0:44:13 > 0:44:23I could only find that kind of patriotism in the Pis party.

0:44:26 > 0:44:28It is as if there is a battle going on here

0:44:28 > 0:44:30for the very soul of this country.

0:44:30 > 0:44:34It divides society into liberal elite or populist patriot

0:44:34 > 0:44:37and it is a struggle which symbolises, perhaps even feeds,

0:44:37 > 0:44:38what is happening within the EU.

0:44:38 > 0:44:40This is no longer a defining moment simply for Poland,

0:44:40 > 0:44:43but for the whole European project.

0:44:43 > 0:44:45Because, it seems, no one is really sure how to deal

0:44:45 > 0:44:55with what is arguably the EU's most troublesome state.

0:45:02 > 0:45:06Silvio Berlusconi has been speaking to the BBC. He was Italy's Prime

0:45:06 > 0:45:11Minister, trying to make a comeback. He says he is the best option for

0:45:11 > 0:45:14Italians in the general election. He says his criminal conviction for tax

0:45:14 > 0:45:20fraud in 2013 was shameful, but that Italians never lost faith in him. We

0:45:20 > 0:45:24shall see about that. He has had a bizarre exchange the BBC, as you

0:45:24 > 0:45:32will see.Forts and Italia!Many thought he was politically finished,

0:45:32 > 0:45:39done. But Silvio Berlusconi, Italy's four-time Prime Minister, is making

0:45:39 > 0:45:44a comeback. His centre-right coalition is set to win the most

0:45:44 > 0:45:50votes in the general election in two weeks' time. Outside of Italy,

0:45:50 > 0:45:54Berlusconi's famous for his love of women, and his ability to remain

0:45:54 > 0:45:59freshfaced. But in many parts of this country, he is much more than

0:45:59 > 0:46:06that. TRANSLATION:I am voting for Berlusconi, his experience, I trust

0:46:06 > 0:46:12him, I am sure he has learned from his mistakes.TRANSLATION:He has

0:46:12 > 0:46:16built a good coalition, he has my full confidence.Berlusconi can't

0:46:16 > 0:46:22technically become Prime Minister. In 2013, he was banned from public

0:46:22 > 0:46:26office because of his criminal convictions for tax fraud. But he

0:46:26 > 0:46:30can still lead his party. When I caught up with him, I asked why he

0:46:30 > 0:46:37thinks he is the best person for the job. TRANSLATION:I was ousted from

0:46:37 > 0:46:43politics because of an unbelievably shameful sentence. The Italian

0:46:43 > 0:46:47people know that everything that's been said about me is false, that

0:46:47 > 0:46:53all the accusations are made up. They never stopped trusting me, and

0:46:53 > 0:46:57I have governed this country for longer than anyone else.His main

0:46:57 > 0:47:01challenge will come from the 5-star movement, an antiestablishment

0:47:01 > 0:47:08political party on the right. So in a couple of weeks, Silvio

0:47:08 > 0:47:11Berlusconi, a man who can't be elected as an MP, and isn't even

0:47:11 > 0:47:15allowed to vote, could be back in power, leading a grand coalition in

0:47:15 > 0:47:19Parliament here. This would be in effect the fifth time he has led

0:47:19 > 0:47:24this country. Despite the prominent of feminist campaigns worldwide,

0:47:24 > 0:47:31including movements like me too, it seems many Italian women can look

0:47:31 > 0:47:37beyond Berlusconi's alleged sex scandals. TRANSLATION:He is my

0:47:37 > 0:47:43idol. All men are like that. He was just a fool because he got caught.

0:47:43 > 0:47:47Me too is not so strong in Italy as it has been in the Anglo-Saxon

0:47:47 > 0:47:53countries. People don't remember very well the night of Berlusconi,

0:47:53 > 0:47:59all the scandals. It is something far away in our memory.And not many

0:47:59 > 0:48:04interviews with covenant interviews in like this these days.

0:48:04 > 0:48:10TRANSLATION:Don't shake hands like that, too strong. Men will think

0:48:10 > 0:48:13this one is going to beat me up and no one will marry you. Let's try

0:48:13 > 0:48:21again. No, a little less! Who is ever going to marry you? I'm joking,

0:48:21 > 0:48:27you have to joke every once in a while.For many, the idea that

0:48:27 > 0:48:34Berlusconi would run the country again was itself a joke a year ago.

0:48:34 > 0:48:37But the man Italians either love or hate seems on the verge of yet

0:48:37 > 0:48:45another comeback. And of course on the cover of weeks' time we will

0:48:45 > 0:48:51tell you how Mr Berlusconi got on.

0:48:51 > 0:48:54In Zimbabwe, a huge crowd gathered earlier for a memorial service

0:48:54 > 0:48:57for former opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai.

0:48:57 > 0:48:59He passed away last week after a long battle with cancer.

0:48:59 > 0:49:01He was 65.

0:49:01 > 0:49:04Many people wore red at the service, the colour

0:49:04 > 0:49:07of the party he founded, the Movement for Democratic Change.

0:49:07 > 0:49:10Mr Tsvangirai lived long enough to see his political foe

0:49:10 > 0:49:16Robert Mugabe forced from power a couple of months ago.

0:49:16 > 0:49:19Although of course Mr Mugabe was replaced by somebody else from

0:49:19 > 0:49:21within the same party.

0:49:21 > 0:49:25Today's service was held in the Civic Square in Harare.

0:49:25 > 0:49:26This is where opposition protests were often held

0:49:26 > 0:49:27during the Mugabe era.

0:49:27 > 0:49:37Shingai Nyoka was there.

0:49:37 > 0:49:41Hundreds of opposition supporters, leaders from across the political

0:49:41 > 0:49:46divide, as well as diplomats and representatives from some African

0:49:46 > 0:49:50countries, have gathered here did to Morgan Tsvangirai, and the speakers

0:49:50 > 0:49:56in this service remembered his contribution to democracy in this

0:49:56 > 0:49:59country. They say that he is an icon that should be honoured but there

0:49:59 > 0:50:05has also been reference to the fact that in his death his supporters

0:50:05 > 0:50:08should now unite behind one leader.

0:50:08 > 0:50:11We've talked a lot recently about political protest in Ethiopia -

0:50:11 > 0:50:13there's been very different kind of protest today.

0:50:13 > 0:50:15People stayed at home.

0:50:15 > 0:50:18They're opposed to a six-month state of emergency that was imposed

0:50:18 > 0:50:23after the Prime Minister resigned last week.

0:50:23 > 0:50:25And he resigned because of other protests, like

0:50:25 > 0:50:27these from last week.

0:50:27 > 0:50:31The unrest dates back to 2015 and has claimed hundreds of lives.

0:50:31 > 0:50:33Most of the unrest has centred on Ethiopia's

0:50:33 > 0:50:42two largest regions, Oromia and Amhara.

0:50:42 > 0:50:48Mary Harper...

0:50:48 > 0:50:53The people who are staying at home, they are mainly in the Norma --

0:50:53 > 0:50:58Northern region and they are one of the ethnic groups that feel very

0:50:58 > 0:51:00aggrieved with the Ethiopian government. They are particularly

0:51:00 > 0:51:05angry because on Friday the government reimposed a state of

0:51:05 > 0:51:08emergency, and introduced very strict rules about what people can

0:51:08 > 0:51:11and can't do under the state of emergency, and they are essentially

0:51:11 > 0:51:16are protesting against that.And that is justified in the name of

0:51:16 > 0:51:24stability, presumably?It followed before the state of emergency was

0:51:24 > 0:51:29imposed, the Prime Minister unexpectedly resigned, and so it is

0:51:29 > 0:51:32a response to that because the country is basically in political

0:51:32 > 0:51:37turmoil. No new Prime Minister has been announced so they have imposed

0:51:37 > 0:51:40a state of emergency to try to control what are basically three

0:51:40 > 0:51:45years of anti-government protests. So who is bossing this, the

0:51:45 > 0:51:49politicians or the military men?At the moment the politicians, because

0:51:49 > 0:51:54even within the governing commission, which has essentially

0:51:54 > 0:51:57been a very authoritarian form of rule, that is split and there are

0:51:57 > 0:52:02fears now that Ethiopia's military might start to really muscle in. And

0:52:02 > 0:52:06that would really spell disaster for the country, because it's so

0:52:06 > 0:52:12important that Ethiopia is kept politically stable, because it is in

0:52:12 > 0:52:16such a fantastically unstable part of Africa. So if the military start

0:52:16 > 0:52:19to really move in, that will mean that Ethiopia has become another

0:52:19 > 0:52:25basket case in a region which is already full of basket cases.It was

0:52:25 > 0:52:28only a few weeks ago you were standing here and we were talking

0:52:28 > 0:52:31about this big announcement of political prisoners being released,

0:52:31 > 0:52:36and there was a stain -- sense of optimism. That seems to have

0:52:36 > 0:52:42evaporated somewhat.Yes, it is very strange because Ethiopia had these

0:52:42 > 0:52:44months and months and months of protests, and it was scrambling

0:52:44 > 0:52:48around trying to work out what to do and eventually decided start

0:52:48 > 0:52:53releasing. It released about 6000 political prisoners, and people

0:52:53 > 0:52:57started to think, OK, the government is making some concessions to these

0:52:57 > 0:53:02two big ethnic groups who are in opposition. But then the Prime

0:53:02 > 0:53:06Minister resigned, and a new state of emergency was imposed, and so it

0:53:06 > 0:53:10looks like it is back to square one. Thanks to Mary, and if you heard

0:53:10 > 0:53:14someone shouting in the background, it sounded rather dramatic, we never

0:53:14 > 0:53:20found out who it was, but whoever it was, I think they were OK.

0:53:20 > 0:53:21Oxfam has directly apologised to the Haitian government today

0:53:21 > 0:53:23following the prostitution scandal.

0:53:23 > 0:53:25Oxfam's regional director for Latin America and the Caribbean

0:53:25 > 0:53:28said "We came here to share the report with the minister

0:53:28 > 0:53:30and express our shame and apologies to the Haitian government

0:53:30 > 0:53:32and to the Haitian people.

0:53:32 > 0:53:34We've taken lots of measures to improve internal

0:53:34 > 0:53:36safeguarding measures."

0:53:38 > 0:53:40The report he's talking about was an internal

0:53:40 > 0:53:42investigation from 2011.

0:53:42 > 0:53:45Here it is.

0:53:45 > 0:53:50Parts are blacked out to protect identities.

0:53:50 > 0:53:53Oxfam published it today and it reveals that three of the men

0:53:53 > 0:53:56accused of sexual misconduct in Haiti physically threatened

0:53:56 > 0:54:00witnesses during that 2011 investigation.

0:54:00 > 0:54:08Here's Theresa May's reaction - given to BBC London radio.

0:54:08 > 0:54:11This is absolutely horrific, this is exactly the problem that we see,

0:54:11 > 0:54:14which means that all too often people don't feel able to come

0:54:14 > 0:54:19forward to report what has happened to them, the behaviour that they

0:54:19 > 0:54:25have been on the receiving end of.

0:54:25 > 0:54:27Here's some more of what's been revealed in the report.

0:54:27 > 0:54:28One employee

0:54:28 > 0:54:30was dismissed and three resigned for using prostitutes

0:54:30 > 0:54:31on Oxfam premises.

0:54:31 > 0:54:33Two more were dismissed for bullying and intimidation.

0:54:33 > 0:54:35Another was sacked for failing to protect staff.

0:54:35 > 0:54:41Here's a member of the UK's International Development Committee.

0:54:41 > 0:54:46I don't think these sorts of reports should be secret. Now that it is out

0:54:46 > 0:54:49in the open, we can actually do something significant about it, and

0:54:49 > 0:54:54that's what I'm going to be asking difficult to do, to have a central

0:54:54 > 0:54:58register, so we know anyone we give money to, any charity, has got the

0:54:58 > 0:55:03right procedures in place, and that the children and women are

0:55:03 > 0:55:06absolutely safe.See you tomorrow, goodbye.
