0:01:28 > 0:01:30what it believes can stop on school shooting -
0:01:30 > 0:01:33more guns.
0:01:33 > 0:01:37Its leader spoke earlier at a major literal event in Washington, DC.
0:01:37 > 0:01:41After every mass shooting in the US there is a further national debate
0:01:41 > 0:01:46on gun control. Wayne LaPierre said this is playing politics with a
0:01:46 > 0:01:53tragedy.As usual, the opportunists wasted not one second to exploit
0:01:53 > 0:01:57tragedy for political gain. The break back speed of calls for more
0:01:57 > 0:02:06gun control laws and the breathless national media, eager to smear the
0:02:06 > 0:02:10NRA.The NRA has been targeted in this advert in the New York Times
0:02:10 > 0:02:11today.
0:02:11 > 0:02:14It lists 276 members of Congress who "take NRA money
0:02:14 > 0:02:17and block gun control" - along with their phone numbers.
0:02:17 > 0:02:19The NRA also has good relations with President Trump.
0:02:19 > 0:02:22Yesterday he backed the idea of arming teachers.
0:02:22 > 0:02:30And Wayne LaPierre warmed to that theme earlier.
0:02:30 > 0:02:37It is a bizarre fact that in this country our jewellery stores, all
0:02:37 > 0:02:43over this country, are more important than our children. Our
0:02:43 > 0:02:50banks, our airports, our NBA games, our NFL games, our office buildings,
0:02:50 > 0:02:57our movie stars, our politicians. They are all more protected than our
0:02:57 > 0:03:05children at school. Does that make any sense? To anybody? Do we really
0:03:05 > 0:03:12love our money and our celebrities more than we love our children?
0:03:12 > 0:03:14Yesterday on Outside Source we brought you that listening
0:03:14 > 0:03:17session in the White House where Donald Trump came out
0:03:17 > 0:03:23in favour of arming teachers.
0:03:23 > 0:03:28They gathered and listened to teachers as well survivors of school
0:03:28 > 0:03:31shootings, and relatives of victims. The President was seen holding a
0:03:31 > 0:03:35check list with five points on it. Number one was what would you most
0:03:35 > 0:03:39want me to know about your experience? Number five was I hear
0:03:39 > 0:03:43you. Donald Trump has also been tweeting today. He's been talking
0:03:43 > 0:03:44about the idea of arming teachers.
0:04:01 > 0:04:06You can translate that as the President of America suggesting that
0:04:06 > 0:04:10every school in the country should have at least one gun inside it.
0:04:10 > 0:04:13Later today he spoke to ask both sides of the political divide
0:04:13 > 0:04:15to join him in taking action.
0:04:17 > 0:04:20I think we're making a lot of progress and I can tell
0:04:20 > 0:04:22you there's a tremendous feeling that we're that we're
0:04:22 > 0:04:24going to get something done.
0:04:24 > 0:04:27And we're leading that feeling I hope, but there's a great feeling,
0:04:27 > 0:04:29including at the NRA, including Republican senators
0:04:29 > 0:04:35and hopefully Democrat senators and congressmen.
0:04:36 > 0:04:38Polling suggests the majority of the teachers don't want
0:04:38 > 0:04:43a gun in the classroom.
0:04:43 > 0:04:47This is one in Pennsylvania.In my opinion, I think guns in the
0:04:47 > 0:04:52classroom are absolutely ridiculous. I think most teachers are not
0:04:52 > 0:04:55trained, I think you are putting students at risk having guns in the
0:04:55 > 0:04:59classroom. I think it is not a bad idea to have security people with
0:04:59 > 0:05:07guns, but I am qualified on the M-16 rifle and .45 pistol, and there is
0:05:07 > 0:05:11no way that a teacher should have a gun in a classroom. There are two
0:05:11 > 0:05:14money opportunities for accidents and if you kept the weapon locked,
0:05:14 > 0:05:23how would you access it if something were happening?Anthony Zurcher was
0:05:23 > 0:05:26at that speech earlier and has been telling me about it.It was
0:05:26 > 0:05:30interesting, I have been to a lot of these conferences and the crowd can
0:05:30 > 0:05:35be very raucous, animated. They really weren't all that animated
0:05:35 > 0:05:45during the speeches of the NRA folk. It was interesting. In fact, they
0:05:45 > 0:05:50made reference to that, I hear you are quiet, you are afraid, and you
0:05:50 > 0:05:53need to be afraid because they are coming for your guns, essentially.
0:05:53 > 0:05:59That is what Wayne LaPierre said. Then when Vice President Mike Pence
0:05:59 > 0:06:02came out, a couple of speakers later, they cheered really loudly
0:06:02 > 0:06:09for things like building the Mexican War, Neil Gorsuch, the Supreme Court
0:06:09 > 0:06:14nomination, tax cuts, standing for the national anthem. It was a sombre
0:06:14 > 0:06:18mood, but it was not the reaction you would expect from some of the
0:06:18 > 0:06:21red meat that Wayne LaPierre was throwing out there, media bashing,
0:06:21 > 0:06:25Democratic parishing and even criticising the FBI, which is a
0:06:25 > 0:06:29bogeyman for the right these days. Presumably, the NRA is relatively
0:06:29 > 0:06:33pleased with the current state of the debate, given that normally in
0:06:33 > 0:06:37the aftermath of a mass shooting it comes under pressure, but it now has
0:06:37 > 0:06:40the President backing one of its primary ideas on this, arming
0:06:40 > 0:06:48teachers?Right. You saw Donald Trump tweeting earlier today, saying
0:06:48 > 0:06:52that the NRA are great people and that he has their support. The NRA
0:06:52 > 0:06:55supported him very early in the presidential campaign when there
0:06:55 > 0:07:00were a lot of conservative groups that were not sure whether to back
0:07:00 > 0:07:03Donald Trump when it looked pretty clear he was going to get the
0:07:03 > 0:07:06nomination. The NRA jumped in with both feet and supported him to the
0:07:06 > 0:07:10tune of about $30 million over the course of the campaign. Donald Trump
0:07:10 > 0:07:13knows who is loyal to him, and he rewards loyalty. I think he sees
0:07:13 > 0:07:22that from the NRA. As you mentioned, there is going to be significant
0:07:22 > 0:07:28pushback from turning schools into hard targets, in his words. Donald
0:07:28 > 0:07:32Trump talked about arming teachers, there are 3.5 million public school
0:07:32 > 0:07:36teachers, you're talking about 100,000 teachers conceivably, and
0:07:36 > 0:07:41that idea, being given guns, a massive undertaking, by any
0:07:41 > 0:07:44reasonable understanding.Last week, in the immediate aftermath of the
0:07:44 > 0:07:52Florida shooting, we spoke to a WR Hawkins from Breitbart news.
0:07:52 > 0:07:55He was making the argument then, right after the tragedy,
0:07:55 > 0:07:56that teachers should be armed.
0:07:56 > 0:07:58Let's catch up with him again now in Arizona.
0:07:58 > 0:08:04Thank you very much for your time. Would you support the idea of
0:08:04 > 0:08:07700,000 teachers that currently don't have guns at school being
0:08:07 > 0:08:17harmed?If the teachers want to be --Being armed.You don't force them
0:08:17 > 0:08:24to be, but if they want to be armed, certainly. Sandy Hook, nobody was
0:08:24 > 0:08:30armed, 27 people killed. Virginia Tech, nobody was armed, 32 people
0:08:30 > 0:08:34killed. This most recent attack, no body was armed, 17 people killed. We
0:08:34 > 0:08:38tried it that way and it doesn't work. I am all for a social studies
0:08:38 > 0:08:41teacher that can take out an attack in the first five seconds.What
0:08:41 > 0:08:45would you say to people watching in the UK and around the world, to whom
0:08:45 > 0:08:51the idea of a gun being in a classroom along with their young
0:08:51 > 0:08:58child is horrific, in compensable? Well, I mean, I would say that they
0:08:58 > 0:09:01may not understand. Many of those teachers have concealed carry
0:09:01 > 0:09:05permits, and at night, when they travel to the gas station, the
0:09:05 > 0:09:08restaurant, they have a gun with them and they have young kids with
0:09:08 > 0:09:11them, and their friends with them. That is everyday life, that is just
0:09:11 > 0:09:16how it is in America. So, the fact that you send them to school and
0:09:16 > 0:09:19say, while you are at school you cannot have that gun for self
0:09:19 > 0:09:22defence, that is the real atrocity. There is no atrocity and having a
0:09:22 > 0:09:28gun with him when the child is with him in other settings, why should
0:09:28 > 0:09:31they be denied that right when they are at school? You force them to be
0:09:31 > 0:09:35sitting ducks and it is a ridiculous policy.I am interested that you are
0:09:35 > 0:09:39focusing on how to deal with somebody coming into a school with a
0:09:39 > 0:09:42gun, rather than talking about the fact they have a gun in the first
0:09:42 > 0:09:46place?That is a fair point. I'm talking about somebody that comes
0:09:46 > 0:09:50into school with a machete, with a knife, with a hammer, with anything.
0:09:50 > 0:09:54The way we are set up right now, the teachers are defenceless, period.
0:09:54 > 0:10:00You can bring in any weapon you want. That is a good point. I don't
0:10:00 > 0:10:03care if the attacker has a sword or gun, if the teacher is arm she can
0:10:03 > 0:10:07take him out. That is the important thing. What we have seen in America
0:10:07 > 0:10:11is the outward perimeter on schools are so weak. Anybody that wants to
0:10:11 > 0:10:16get on campus, they can get on campus.There is a broader issue of
0:10:16 > 0:10:19school security, but what about the core issue here? It struck me during
0:10:19 > 0:10:22the listening session that people were talking about dealing with
0:10:22 > 0:10:25pupils that are isolated, making sure people connect with each other,
0:10:25 > 0:10:29making sure teachers are armed, but not necessarily talking about the
0:10:29 > 0:10:34fact it is just too easy to get a gun in America?Well, the reason
0:10:34 > 0:10:38they didn't bring that up is the left has pushed background checks,
0:10:38 > 0:10:43waiting periods, all of these things. Florida has a waiting period
0:10:43 > 0:10:48of three days for a handgun purchase, they have background
0:10:48 > 0:10:52checks. This guy complied with that rule, as almost every mass public
0:10:52 > 0:10:58attacker does. So, we have tried all of their gun controls and none of
0:10:58 > 0:11:01them work. That is why I'm not addressing it, I'm not trying to
0:11:01 > 0:11:03skirt the issue, it is not worth addressing because gun control
0:11:03 > 0:11:08failed. Now we have to find out what will work in place of gun controls,
0:11:08 > 0:11:12and it is letting his teachers defend themselves.Help me
0:11:12 > 0:11:15understand, then, why you are not focusing on gun control, but that
0:11:15 > 0:11:18would appear to be the primary difference between America, where
0:11:18 > 0:11:21there are a huge number of mass shootings, and lots of other
0:11:21 > 0:11:28countries in the world, where their arms?Right... Why would we focus on
0:11:28 > 0:11:35gun control at any point? Let me ask you a question, who would obey gun
0:11:35 > 0:11:43control laws? Woodlore -- would law-abiding citizens obey, or
0:11:43 > 0:11:47criminals questionIn a case of Australia or the UK...In general,
0:11:47 > 0:11:53law-abiding citizens do, criminals do not. Why would I respond to a
0:11:53 > 0:12:00crime by looking at how we could restrain law-abiding citizens?The
0:12:00 > 0:12:05reality is that if I am minded to get a gun in London, it is awfully
0:12:05 > 0:12:09harder than if I were to get it where you are in Arizona. That is
0:12:09 > 0:12:13just a fact, whether I am a criminal or law-abiding citizen.Well, it
0:12:13 > 0:12:17might be a fact, but there is another deal, in America, it is part
0:12:17 > 0:12:23of our heritage. It always has been. That is part of life in America
0:12:23 > 0:12:27since 1791, when the Second Amendment was ratified. In America,
0:12:27 > 0:12:29we are guaranteed by the Constitution the right to keep and
0:12:29 > 0:12:37bear arms. Exercising that right is checking the fact, that other people
0:12:37 > 0:12:46are armed.But you cut to it, in the end, your history, your heritage, it
0:12:46 > 0:12:50is actually more important than stopping people dying in mass
0:12:50 > 0:12:54shootings. I'm not saying that is right or wrong, but is that not a
0:12:54 > 0:13:01fact?Not at all. We have problems that have nothing to do with guns. I
0:13:01 > 0:13:06think Trump is right when he looks at the mental health issue. Our
0:13:06 > 0:13:10mental health is a broken system, because of the left. The same people
0:13:10 > 0:13:14that push gun control, they help themselves by not taking care of the
0:13:14 > 0:13:16mentally ill and then when the mentally ill do something wrong,
0:13:16 > 0:13:20instead of addressing the mentally ill problems, they say we need or
0:13:20 > 0:13:25gun laws. They use everything, they let a certain degree of chaos exist,
0:13:25 > 0:13:28in order to feed arguments for gun control. I would agree with you,
0:13:28 > 0:13:33there are some things we can do, but addressing gun laws is not one of
0:13:33 > 0:13:38them. We have so many thousands and thousands of gun laws and they don't
0:13:38 > 0:13:45matter. They will never met. -- never matter.Good to talk to you, I
0:13:45 > 0:13:48have gone over the time I had to talk to you because it was so
0:13:48 > 0:13:51fascinating. That was AWR who writes for Breitbart news.
0:13:51 > 0:13:55We want to bring you the latest now on the crisis in Syria.
0:13:55 > 0:13:57A UN resolution had been tabled in New York -
0:13:57 > 0:14:00calling for a 30 day truce.
0:14:00 > 0:14:02That's been blocked by Russia, Moscow wanted it amended -
0:14:02 > 0:14:05it said it only put pressure on the Syrian government,
0:14:05 > 0:14:10which it backs.
0:14:10 > 0:14:18Also, the awful situation in eastern Ghouta. It is the last major rebel
0:14:18 > 0:14:20stronghold near to the capital.
0:14:20 > 0:14:22And for five days, Syria - backed by Russia -
0:14:22 > 0:14:26have been carrying out an intense bombing campaign.
0:14:26 > 0:14:28More than 400,000 people are trapped there.
0:14:28 > 0:14:32And more than 400 people have died, 94 of them children.
0:14:32 > 0:14:35These are some of the latest pictures - I want to warn
0:14:35 > 0:14:39you they are disturbing.
0:14:40 > 0:14:42This video is from the so-called White Helmets,
0:14:42 > 0:14:47a civil defence group.
0:14:47 > 0:14:50They have been giving lots of details on their Twitter account.
0:14:50 > 0:14:53They say some residents have no access to food or clean drinking
0:14:53 > 0:14:58water. Lots of people are living underground to try to stay safe.
0:14:58 > 0:15:01Medical facilities and staff are being targeted and the UN is now
0:15:01 > 0:15:04warning of a massacre.
0:15:04 > 0:15:06We've also been following videos posted by two girls
0:15:06 > 0:15:08trapped in eastern Ghouta.
0:15:08 > 0:15:09This was put up a day ago.
0:15:16 > 0:15:22Warplanes attacked...
0:15:22 > 0:15:24They say warplanes and helicopters are attacking their neighbourhood.
0:15:24 > 0:15:27And that there's nowhere to run for cover.
0:15:27 > 0:15:30They are pleading for help.
0:15:34 > 0:15:38A Twitter account has been set up using their names.
0:15:46 > 0:15:51This video was posted earlier today. You can see very clearly that one of
0:15:51 > 0:15:55the girls has been injured. Even hear them screaming in Arabic,
0:15:55 > 0:15:58crying for help. You can see the snow that has been left from the
0:15:58 > 0:16:03shelling. Her mother told us later that the house had been bombed and
0:16:03 > 0:16:10that her son was also hurt. We have been contacting doctors working in
0:16:10 > 0:16:14eastern Ghouta. They say the situation is going from bad to worse
0:16:14 > 0:16:19and personnel are under so much stress.
0:16:19 > 0:16:20Ahmad Tarakji is President of the Syrian American Medical Society.
0:16:25 > 0:16:28I was just talking to my colleagues in Ghouta as I walked into the
0:16:28 > 0:16:33studio. They are terrified, the situation is terrible and they feel
0:16:33 > 0:16:38they are facing a massacre coming up soon.Where are they able to work?
0:16:38 > 0:16:42Are there still medical facilities they can use?The medical capacity
0:16:42 > 0:16:46has dropped by about 60% compared to what it was last week before the
0:16:46 > 0:16:52situation started. There are still some medical facilities operating.
0:16:52 > 0:16:56Not to the point where they can help people. We have seen many casualties
0:16:56 > 0:16:59and people dying from treatable conditions. The doctors are
0:16:59 > 0:17:07committed to continue serving, and chewing Nickell Robey humanitarian
0:17:07 > 0:17:10workers. With limited resources and the constant bombing of hospitals,
0:17:10 > 0:17:16they can't do that as effectively as they should.Do the doctors believe
0:17:16 > 0:17:21they are being politically targeted? Absolutely, it is a clear pattern of
0:17:21 > 0:17:26attacking by the Syrian air force. It is completely paralysed in the
0:17:26 > 0:17:32medical sector. I was communicating with my colleague, the head of the
0:17:32 > 0:17:38White helmets team, and he said most of the ambulances are also targeted.
0:17:38 > 0:17:43They are not even able to evacuate patients from the building, or from
0:17:43 > 0:17:52the basements, to the hospitals. Whoever gets to the hospital might
0:17:52 > 0:17:56not get treated correctly because they are destroying hospitals.I
0:17:56 > 0:17:59assume the casualties and injuries are caused by bombs from fighter
0:17:59 > 0:18:08planes?Absolutely, they are coming from the Syrian air force, we're
0:18:08 > 0:18:11starting to see different missiles being utilised. Everybody is hiding
0:18:11 > 0:18:20in basements. We are seeing the missile similar to what we have seen
0:18:20 > 0:18:27in Aleppo.The last seven years have seen any number of horrors in Syria.
0:18:27 > 0:18:31How do your colleagues compare what we are seeing in eastern Ghouta with
0:18:31 > 0:18:36other situations that have played out?It is a replay of three
0:18:36 > 0:18:41displacement scenarios. We have seen comparable escalation of the
0:18:41 > 0:18:44situation as we have seen in Aleppo. We have seen situations in other
0:18:44 > 0:18:49places. The doctors in Ghouta the same doctors that treated the
0:18:49 > 0:18:54chemical attacks in 2013, the very famous ones. They have been besieged
0:18:54 > 0:18:59for the last three and a half years. We are seeing the worst days we have
0:18:59 > 0:19:05ever seen over the past five or six years.Background information is
0:19:05 > 0:19:11available whenever you need it online. Alijaz Bedene tweeting about
0:19:11 > 0:19:15how she has not opened Snapchat very much and that appears to have had a
0:19:15 > 0:19:18significant impact on the market value of the company that owns
0:19:18 > 0:19:26Snapchat. We will be live in New York to find out what is going on.
0:19:26 > 0:19:27We'll be talking to Yogita Limaye about it
0:19:28 > 0:19:30Police say they're investigating a letter sent to St James Palace

0:19:34 > 0:19:36what's reported to be a white powder.
0:19:36 > 0:19:38It was reportedly addressed to Prince Harry and his
0:19:38 > 0:19:39fiancee, Meghan Markle.
0:19:39 > 0:19:41Tests on the substance confirmed it was not harmful.
0:19:41 > 0:19:43No arrests have been made.
0:19:43 > 0:19:50Richard Lister has more.
0:19:51 > 0:19:54It seems to refer to something written on the letter. The couple
0:19:54 > 0:19:57themselves have not made any comment and it has not been formally
0:19:57 > 0:20:03acknowledge that the letter was sent to them. Of course, Meghan Markle is
0:20:03 > 0:20:09of mixed race. Prince Harry spoke of last November about the racist abuse
0:20:09 > 0:20:13he said she received on social media. This would clearly take it to
0:20:13 > 0:20:16another level if they were the targets of this. One interesting
0:20:16 > 0:20:21thing that the police will be looking at, the following date:
0:20:21 > 0:20:24February 13, another letter containing a suspicious powder was
0:20:24 > 0:20:30received the Palace of Westminster, addressed to Amber Ruud, and clearly
0:20:30 > 0:20:41the police will be looking at whether those letters are linked.
0:20:41 > 0:20:45We live in the BBC newsroom.
0:20:45 > 0:20:50Pressure is growing for more gun control in the US, but the powerful
0:20:50 > 0:20:54NRA are calling for armed security at every school. Donald Trump has
0:20:54 > 0:20:59been tweeting that teachers could have the option to the answer they
0:20:59 > 0:21:05can fire back if a Savage Dzeko comes into the school. From BBC
0:21:05 > 0:21:06Russia...
0:21:06 > 0:21:08Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny has been detained
0:21:08 > 0:21:10by police in Moscow - and then released
0:21:10 > 0:21:11shortly afterwards.
0:21:11 > 0:21:13He's already barred from running in the presidential
0:21:13 > 0:21:21election in a few weeks - and is calling for a boycott.
0:21:21 > 0:21:23These Egyptian policemen were guarding a bank
0:21:23 > 0:21:25when they noticed that a child was hanging from
0:21:25 > 0:21:27a third floor window.
0:21:27 > 0:21:31One of them manages to catch the child, who was not in any way
0:21:31 > 0:21:37injured.
0:21:37 > 0:21:39Shares in Snap, the company behind social media
0:21:39 > 0:21:40app SnapChat, plunged by
0:21:40 > 0:21:43around 8% today.
0:21:43 > 0:21:47That means the company lost around $1.5 billion
0:21:47 > 0:21:48in market value.
0:21:48 > 0:21:50What caused the slump?
0:21:50 > 0:21:52Well reality television star Kylie Jenner tweeted
0:21:52 > 0:21:53that she doesn't use the social media platform anymore.
0:22:02 > 0:22:06You would not think that was enough to move the market value of a
0:22:06 > 0:22:08company by over $1 billion. But perhaps?
0:22:08 > 0:22:11Yogita Limaye is in New York.
0:22:11 > 0:22:16Is it as simple as that?Well, I don't think anybody can say with
0:22:16 > 0:22:22certainty that is what has happened. But she tweeted yesterday at 4.50
0:22:22 > 0:22:28local time, 50 minutes after the market closed. Suddenly, today, once
0:22:28 > 0:22:32the market opened, it has been a pretty bad day for Snap. They have
0:22:32 > 0:22:37ended more than 6% down, but that is a very dramatic fall. I have to say,
0:22:37 > 0:22:40the other thing that had happened, which involves the company, is that
0:22:40 > 0:22:43they released a report, and in that report, they talked about the
0:22:43 > 0:22:49compensation that chief executive is getting. He actually gets a stocks
0:22:49 > 0:22:53grant of more than $600 million. There are also analysts that are
0:22:53 > 0:22:57saying that perhaps it is a combination of those two factors.
0:22:57 > 0:23:01Generally, a lot of Snapchat users have been very unhappy with the new
0:23:01 > 0:23:09update that they have released on Snapchat. Kylie Jenna's tweet, and
0:23:09 > 0:23:18she has about 24.5 million followers, if that is going to
0:23:18 > 0:23:21result in less users.The redesign, which a lot of people are not happy
0:23:21 > 0:23:26about, it sounds like they are not backing down? The statement I saw
0:23:26 > 0:23:33basis it had to get used to it?Is Ashley, there was even a petition
0:23:33 > 0:23:38online by people who want them to go back to the original Snapchat. The
0:23:38 > 0:23:43company saying they have segregated content on the app, so stuff that
0:23:43 > 0:23:49you see from friends and things that you see from celebrities that you
0:23:49 > 0:23:53follow or other platforms, that are making content for Snapchat, you
0:23:53 > 0:23:58sort of see that separately. People are quite unhappy with how the
0:23:58 > 0:24:03stories have been mixed up. Snapchat says that it is an effort to
0:24:03 > 0:24:08segregate the content and make it easier for people to use. But I
0:24:08 > 0:24:12think a lot of people are unhappy with that.OK, thank you very much.
0:24:12 > 0:24:20This is the Financial Times telling us that Evan Speigel's pay has hit
0:24:20 > 0:24:26$638 million. Nice work if you can get it!
0:24:26 > 0:24:30A German Federal court has failed to come to a decision today over
0:24:30 > 0:24:31whether to allow cities to ban diesel cars.
0:24:31 > 0:24:34Instead, the court has delayed the decision until Tuesday.
0:24:34 > 0:24:35The car industry is watching this very closely.
0:24:35 > 0:24:40Theo Leggett explains the complexities of the issue.
0:24:40 > 0:24:47Cities across Europe have to abide by European limits on emissions,
0:24:47 > 0:24:51like nitrogen oxide, which can cause respiratory problems. We have a
0:24:51 > 0:24:56court looking at whether or not, in order to achieve that goal, and
0:24:56 > 0:25:03people driving diesel cars into city centres should be considered. If
0:25:03 > 0:25:08they were to decide that it should be an effective way of reaching the
0:25:08 > 0:25:10quality targets, cities across Germany would feel pretty much
0:25:10 > 0:25:14obliged to introduce them, otherwise they could face legal challenges
0:25:14 > 0:25:17from environmental groups. They would pretty much have to do it.
0:25:17 > 0:25:21That, then, would have a knock-on effect for millions of drivers, who
0:25:21 > 0:25:25bought diesel cars in good faith. We are even told by the German
0:25:25 > 0:25:30government and other governments, a few years ago, that diesel cars were
0:25:30 > 0:25:34environmentally friendly. So, the ramifications are profound. It could
0:25:34 > 0:25:39affect millions of consumers, affect the industry, affect the policies of
0:25:39 > 0:25:43local government. It is a complicated matter.
0:25:43 > 0:25:47Straight after the end of this first half of Outside Source we are going
0:25:47 > 0:25:50to be looking at Brexit. It has been a huge day for Theresa May. She
0:25:50 > 0:25:54gathered some of the most senior ministers at Chequers, her country
0:25:54 > 0:25:57retreat. Their job is to thrash out what kind of relationship the UK
0:25:57 > 0:26:01once with the EU after Brexit. We will get you all of the details and
0:26:01 > 0:26:03a few minutes.
0:26:08 > 0:26:10Killyman.
0:26:14 > 0:26:19-- good evening. It has been rather dreary, but it looks like we will
0:26:19 > 0:26:22see more in a way of sunshine as we head towards the weekend. This was
0:26:22 > 0:26:26the story further north and west. You can see these pictures of the
0:26:26 > 0:26:28Scottish Borders. After a dreary start in the south-east the cloud
0:26:28 > 0:26:31broke up from the south-east coast and we will have some beautiful
0:26:31 > 0:26:39spells of sunshine. We continue to see clear skies through the evening,
0:26:39 > 0:26:43with the exception being further west. Clear skies at this time of
0:26:43 > 0:26:45year leads to a widespread hard frost, particularly through the
0:26:45 > 0:26:50spine of the country. The cloud prevents the blue tones arriving in
0:26:50 > 0:26:54Northern Ireland, said temperatures here holding up above freezing. A
0:26:54 > 0:26:57cloudy, great start through Northern Ireland and parts of Scotland. We
0:26:57 > 0:27:01will also see a bit of cloud coming in of the North Sea coast. If we
0:27:01 > 0:27:04look at the afternoon in more detail, you can see where the cloud
0:27:04 > 0:27:08will tend to linger of the North Sea coast, and also through the Western
0:27:08 > 0:27:12Isles and into Northern Ireland. For much of Wales, central and southern
0:27:12 > 0:27:17England, just a little bit of fair weather cloud across Cornwall.
0:27:17 > 0:27:19Elsewhere, more sunshine coming through. Not a particularly warm
0:27:19 > 0:27:24day, four or 7 degrees. Don't start moaning yet, it is going to get even
0:27:24 > 0:27:28colder as this high-pressure across Scandinavia is really in the driving
0:27:28 > 0:27:31seat with the weather patterns at the moment. It means quite a quiet
0:27:31 > 0:27:37story with the wind coming in off the cold, European coastline. As we
0:27:37 > 0:27:40move into Saturday, there will be more of a breeze, particularly on
0:27:40 > 0:27:43the exposed east coast. That will feel quite fresh. Hopefully some
0:27:43 > 0:27:47lovely spells of sunshine to compensate. Perhaps into Northern
0:27:47 > 0:27:53Ireland we will have more in the way of cloud. It will be a chilly day on
0:27:53 > 0:27:56Saturday. Into Sunday it is almost a repeat performance. A bit of cloud
0:27:56 > 0:28:00coming from the North Sea to the north and east. A stronger breeze
0:28:00 > 0:28:03down into East Anglia and the south-east, and it will feel much
0:28:03 > 0:28:08colder than these temperatures suggest, highs of about five to 7
0:28:08 > 0:28:11degrees. You have probably heard that it is going to get even colder
0:28:11 > 0:28:19still, with the air originating from Siberia, and over the next few days
0:28:19 > 0:28:23it looks like temperatures are set to fall. You can see that in the
0:28:23 > 0:28:26city outlook through Monday and Tuesday, temperatures really
0:28:26 > 0:28:30struggling to climb above freezing. You have been warned!
0:30:10 > 0:30:12Hello, I'm Ros Atkins, this is Outside Source,
0:30:12 > 0:30:15and these are the main stories here in the BBC Newsroom:
0:30:15 > 0:30:17The US gun lobby launches an angry defence of weapons ownership
0:30:17 > 0:30:21amid calls for stricter controls following the Florida shooting.
0:30:21 > 0:30:31To stop a bad guy with a gun, it takes a good guy with a gun.
0:30:31 > 0:30:34Amid more terrible suffering in Eastern Ghouta, the UN is trying
0:30:34 > 0:30:40to agree a humanitarian ceasefire.
0:30:40 > 0:30:42Every day Outside Source features BBC journalists working
0:30:42 > 0:30:43in over 30 languages.
0:30:43 > 0:30:44Your questions are always welcome.
0:30:44 > 0:30:46#BBCOS is the hashtag.
0:30:46 > 0:30:57We'll get into Brexit a moment.
0:31:01 > 0:31:04Theresa May and a group of senior British ministers have spent the day
0:31:04 > 0:31:05trying to find agreement on what relationship
0:31:05 > 0:31:08they want the UK to have with the EU after Brexit.
0:31:08 > 0:31:10This is happening at Prime Minister's country
0:31:10 > 0:31:14retreat, Chequers.
0:31:14 > 0:31:16Here it is - it's about 50km miles north-west of London.
0:31:16 > 0:31:26Here are the ministerial cars arriving earlier.
0:31:28 > 0:31:30It takes quite a while to get done belonged either.
0:31:30 > 0:31:33The key issue is the degree to which UK should seek
0:31:33 > 0:31:35to align with the EU - and what terms the UK
0:31:35 > 0:31:40should accept in exchange for access to EU's market.
0:31:40 > 0:31:43Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson is on one side of the debate -
0:31:43 > 0:31:48seeking the ability to diverge from EU rules and regulations.
0:31:48 > 0:31:50Chancellor Philip Hammond is on the other - wanting
0:31:50 > 0:31:55Britain to be aligned as closely as possible.
0:31:55 > 0:31:57Theresa May's job is to find some common ground.
0:31:57 > 0:32:00Let's hear the closest she's come to stating a clear position
0:32:00 > 0:32:07on managing the future relationship.
0:32:07 > 0:32:11This was in Florence Glastir.There will be areas of policy and
0:32:11 > 0:32:19regulation that are outside the scope of our relations. There will
0:32:19 > 0:32:23be areas where are we and our European friends may have different
0:32:23 > 0:32:28goals or may have the desire to share the same goals, but by the
0:32:28 > 0:32:31different means. And there will be areas where we want to achieve the
0:32:31 > 0:32:34same goals in the same way is because it makes sense for our
0:32:34 > 0:32:35economies.
0:32:35 > 0:32:38The outcome where Britain opts to diverge a bit in some areas,
0:32:38 > 0:32:41a lot in others, and not at all in others, has been described
0:32:41 > 0:32:42at the "three baskets approach."
0:32:42 > 0:32:49Not a great title but it's what we've got to work
0:32:49 > 0:32:50with.
0:32:50 > 0:32:53But even if Theresa May gets agreement among her colleagues
0:32:53 > 0:32:55on the three baskets - of course that doesn't mean
0:32:55 > 0:32:56the EU will also agree.
0:32:56 > 0:32:58Here's the BBC's reality check correspondent Chris Morris.
0:32:58 > 0:33:01We already know, in fact, that they are not that
0:33:01 > 0:33:02keen on this approach.
0:33:02 > 0:33:05Last night, they released a series of slides which had been shown by
0:33:05 > 0:33:06the European Commission to member states.
0:33:06 > 0:33:09So you can see a little bit of one of the slides there.
0:33:10 > 0:33:11This is the key one.
0:33:11 > 0:33:13Basically, what it says is, in summary, the three basket
0:33:13 > 0:33:15approach is not compatible with the principles
0:33:15 > 0:33:17of the European Union's guidelines.
0:33:17 > 0:33:20Basically, it says it would undermine the integrity of the
0:33:20 > 0:33:22single market.
0:33:22 > 0:33:24That gets back to the age-old argument about are we just
0:33:24 > 0:33:26trying to cherry pick the best bits?
0:33:26 > 0:33:29It would also, they fear, allow other third World countries,
0:33:29 > 0:33:32Switzerland, Norway, to say, "Well, hang on,
0:33:32 > 0:33:35if the UK has this great, special relationship, we want some
0:33:35 > 0:33:36of that.
0:33:36 > 0:33:41We want to make it better."
0:33:41 > 0:33:42-- other third countries.
0:33:42 > 0:33:45It also says it would mean that it would be more difficult for the you
0:33:45 > 0:33:48to make decisions after Brexit, because it would be hamstrung by
0:33:48 > 0:33:50this strange new relationship with the UK.
0:33:50 > 0:33:52There's pressure coming from all angles on this issue.
0:33:52 > 0:33:55Around 60 Brexit-supporting Mps are crucial to her ability to get
0:33:55 > 0:33:56things through parliament.
0:33:56 > 0:33:58They are demanding "full regulatory autonomy" -
0:33:58 > 0:34:00in other words complete freedom to do as it wants -
0:34:00 > 0:34:10they argue this will help with trade deals with places like China.
0:34:12 > 0:34:22Their leader is Jacob Rees Mogg.
0:34:23 > 0:34:27Pro-EU MP Chuka Ummana says...
0:34:27 > 0:34:30Of course, it was sold in many different forms,
0:34:30 > 0:34:32and that's one of the issues here.
0:34:32 > 0:34:38The vote to leave wasn't a vote for one type of Brexit or another.
0:34:39 > 0:34:41It was simply a vote to get out.
0:34:41 > 0:34:42Here's the BBC's Political Corresponent Alex Forsyth,
0:34:42 > 0:34:45outside the Chequers meeting, on what we can expect from it.
0:34:45 > 0:34:48I think what we will get is some sort of broad statement, perhaps not
0:34:48 > 0:34:52necessarily today, but in the next week or so when we are expecting
0:34:52 > 0:34:54Theresa May to give a speech with a bit more
0:34:54 > 0:34:55detail, fleshing out the
0:34:55 > 0:34:58endgame that the UK hopes to achieve, but of course it is worth
0:34:58 > 0:34:59mentioning this...
0:34:59 > 0:35:01This is the senior level ministers trying to
0:35:01 > 0:35:05work out what they want from Brexit the long term.
0:35:05 > 0:35:06That is just a starting position.
0:35:06 > 0:35:09That then has to be negotiated with Brussels, and
0:35:09 > 0:35:12once again we are hearing from the EU that there can be no cherry
0:35:13 > 0:35:14picking.
0:35:14 > 0:35:16The UK can't have all the benefits of the EU without the
0:35:16 > 0:35:18rights and obligations.
0:35:18 > 0:35:20So I think Theresa May's balancing act, that
0:35:20 > 0:35:22she is probably conducting round the dinner table right now,
0:35:22 > 0:35:24well, that is going to continue for some time.
0:35:24 > 0:35:26An interesting subtext to all this.
0:35:26 > 0:35:28Since the vote for Brexit, the number of EU citizens leaving
0:35:28 > 0:35:34the UK has risen to its highest level for a decade.
0:35:34 > 0:35:37130,000 emigrated in the year to September.
0:35:37 > 0:35:41Though 220,000 EU nationals moved TO the UK in the same period.
0:35:41 > 0:35:44That means net EU migration was 90,000, that's
0:35:44 > 0:35:45the lowest for five years.
0:35:45 > 0:35:55This is The UK's Immigration Minister on the impact of Brexit.
0:35:59 > 0:36:02Our first priority was for those EU citizens already living here and are
0:36:02 > 0:36:13living here prior to the 29th of March next year.
0:36:13 > 0:36:19People who come here after it will have different expectations. They
0:36:19 > 0:36:24will come here knowing we have left the EU, so what we must do now is
0:36:24 > 0:36:27negotiate very cosy with our European partners as to what the
0:36:27 > 0:36:30position of those people will be going forward.
0:36:30 > 0:36:32Now we turn to the scandals involving charities -
0:36:32 > 0:36:35two days ago we were telling you about the complaints
0:36:35 > 0:36:36of inappropriate behaviour levelled against Justin Forsyth
0:36:36 > 0:36:39while he was chief executive there at Save the Children.
0:36:39 > 0:36:44Now he's resigned from Unicef.
0:36:44 > 0:36:49Here's what he said...
0:36:58 > 0:37:04Nada Tawfik is in New York for us.
0:37:04 > 0:37:10This was looking more and more untenable, wasn't it?Absolutely. I
0:37:10 > 0:37:14spoke to a fewer employees at Unicef and one of them told me this was
0:37:14 > 0:37:18becoming a distraction for them to be able to do their important work,
0:37:18 > 0:37:22and so I think we clearly saw that with Justin Forsyth's decision today
0:37:22 > 0:37:28to hand in his resignation this morning. He said point-blank wasn't
0:37:28 > 0:37:34doing this because of the complaints from his role in his former employer
0:37:34 > 0:37:38at the charity Save the Children. Those were of course the fact that
0:37:38 > 0:37:43he was accused of texting young female staffers inappropriately,
0:37:43 > 0:37:47commenting on how they worked. He said he had apologised and the
0:37:47 > 0:37:51proper process had been taking care of a few years back, but he said the
0:37:51 > 0:37:57reason he was doing this was because he didn't want to do any more damage
0:37:57 > 0:38:00to Oxfam and Save the Children, and so I think a lot of people at Unicef
0:38:00 > 0:38:04would agree with him that it was time to take this step to have him
0:38:04 > 0:38:10resign.I also wanted you to get us to fill us in on Oxfam in Haiti,
0:38:10 > 0:38:15because there has been a development there.The Government has now said
0:38:15 > 0:38:20they are not going to authorise Oxfam Britain to work in Haiti for
0:38:20 > 0:38:25the next two months. They want to do an internal investigation into
0:38:25 > 0:38:28whether any of the staff members sexually abused miners in the
0:38:28 > 0:38:35country. They said was a serious error that Oxfam didn't come to them
0:38:35 > 0:38:38immediately when they had allegations of misconduct, and they
0:38:38 > 0:38:44said that this was a violation of the dignity of the Haitian people.
0:38:44 > 0:38:49That investigation they say will take about two months, and in the
0:38:49 > 0:38:52meantime, Oxfam has said that they are concerned that this could affect
0:38:52 > 0:38:57their work in the country.In the last couple of weeks, Oxfam and Save
0:38:57 > 0:39:03the Children have been in the spotlight, but either broader
0:39:03 > 0:39:07indications for other organisations in terms of sexually inappropriate
0:39:07 > 0:39:11behaviour?This is one of the issues the Secretary-General has taken on.
0:39:11 > 0:39:15He want the UN to be seen as transparent when it comes to
0:39:15 > 0:39:22allegations of sexual abuse, and so it is picked out as public record
0:39:22 > 0:39:26the number of sexual assaults or harassment allegations that
0:39:26 > 0:39:30different parts of the UN family get. We know it has affected UN
0:39:30 > 0:39:36peacekeeping, the U in refugee agency, and the Secretary-General
0:39:36 > 0:39:41himself has acknowledged this is a problem in need charity and NGO
0:39:41 > 0:39:48sector. It underscores what we have known from this past year that the
0:39:48 > 0:39:53Ruby is no point, industry, sector, walk of life that is immune from
0:39:53 > 0:39:55sexual assault.Thank you very much.
0:39:55 > 0:40:02Don't forget you can get much more detail on our top
0:40:02 > 0:40:05stories on our website.
0:40:13 > 0:40:17I want to update you on a story we have covered through the week on
0:40:17 > 0:40:25outside source. Girls are missing in Nigeria. We know the president has
0:40:25 > 0:40:33sent eight team to this town. It is next ought to another state where
0:40:33 > 0:40:38over a 200 girls were taken in 2014. The sky is the state governor and he
0:40:38 > 0:40:43said some girls had been rescued, but strangely that story is now
0:40:43 > 0:40:47changing. -- this guide. Look at this copy. Our colleagues have been
0:40:47 > 0:40:48helping us.
0:41:07 > 0:41:13Our correspondent discovered this story as well. We have met almost a
0:41:13 > 0:41:18wall of silence from authorities today. Whether it is the Army, the
0:41:18 > 0:41:21State Government or federal Government. The only information we
0:41:21 > 0:41:25have had today as con from the parents who has told us what the
0:41:25 > 0:41:30governor said to them. Very little information coming out, almost
0:41:30 > 0:41:34nothing today, about the whereabouts of these girls. We heard from the
0:41:34 > 0:41:40army over the past few weeks, they have been recording significant
0:41:40 > 0:41:44successes against Bogel her ram since December, but they have
0:41:44 > 0:41:50reclaim to a lot of hardware, munitions and trucks. We saw an
0:41:50 > 0:41:55attack of this size. We haven't seen attacks quite as co-ordinated as
0:41:55 > 0:41:58this in quite some time, so this flies in the face of ever being that
0:41:58 > 0:42:02the Army, the authorities and the Government are trying to tell is
0:42:02 > 0:42:07about the capacity and the Government's operation against them
0:42:07 > 0:42:13stands. We tried to bring you the biggest global stories every day.
0:42:13 > 0:42:20Let's bring you to North Africa now.
0:42:20 > 0:42:23Egyptians will vote in presidential elections next month.
0:42:23 > 0:42:25The former army chief Abdel Fattah al Sisi is almost
0:42:25 > 0:42:26certainly going to get re-elected.
0:42:26 > 0:42:29Human rights groups say the election will be a farce -
0:42:29 > 0:42:31and you can see where they're coming from.
0:42:31 > 0:42:33Serious challengers have been disqualified, arrested or have been
0:42:33 > 0:42:34pressured to drop out.
0:42:34 > 0:42:40Orla Guerin is our correspondent in Cairo.
0:42:40 > 0:42:46Welcome to Egypt. Enticing images of timeless hospitality and ancient
0:42:46 > 0:42:50attractions. The picture postcard view the authorities are keen to
0:42:50 > 0:42:58promote. But there is another Egypt, a military backed regime. Where
0:42:58 > 0:43:06dreams of freedom have been crushed. And human rights groups say at least
0:43:06 > 0:43:121500 people have vanished from the streets in the last four years.
0:43:12 > 0:43:20Egypt's disappeared. This is one of them. She is 23 and wants to open
0:43:20 > 0:43:27her own business. Her mother says she and her daughter were jailed in
0:43:27 > 0:43:312014 after being arrested near a protest. She says they were in the
0:43:31 > 0:43:36wrong place at the wrong time, and were later acquitted. Then in 2016,
0:43:36 > 0:43:41her daughter was detained at a police checkpoint, she tells me. She
0:43:41 > 0:43:55was dumped by the roadside after 28 days. A change to girl.
0:44:13 > 0:44:21But her legal papers show the anguished and not end there. As her
0:44:21 > 0:44:25daughter were struggling to recover, she disappeared for the second time
0:44:25 > 0:44:28last April. Her mother says neighbours saw her being taken by
0:44:28 > 0:44:30armed and masked police.
0:44:51 > 0:44:55Her treasured keepsakes are just as she left them. Her mother refuses to
0:44:55 > 0:45:00give up hope. She says her family has done nothing wrong and she will
0:45:00 > 0:45:09speak out for her daughter even if she hangs Fred. -- hangs for it. We
0:45:09 > 0:45:12wanted to ask the authorities about her daughter's case, but they
0:45:12 > 0:45:17wouldn't give us an interview. In the past, they have denied there are
0:45:17 > 0:45:21enforced disappearances and widespread human rights abuses. Most
0:45:21 > 0:45:26who are taking turn up in custody facing terrorism charges. Human
0:45:26 > 0:45:33rights groups say anyone who opposes the regime is at risk. They say
0:45:33 > 0:45:37Abdel Fattah al Sisi is waging war on dissent and this is a dark hour
0:45:37 > 0:45:43for Egypt.
0:45:43 > 0:45:47The study led by Oxford University has found anti-depressants work.
0:45:47 > 0:45:49It's published in The Lancet - 21 drugs were considered
0:45:49 > 0:45:51via the data from over 500 trials.
0:45:51 > 0:46:01Sima Kotecha has more.
0:46:03 > 0:46:07There were times, you know, I felt really low, to the point I didn't
0:46:07 > 0:46:09want to be around anyone or anybody or have any interaction
0:46:09 > 0:46:10with family or friends.
0:46:10 > 0:46:20There were times when I didn't understand my position in life.
0:46:23 > 0:46:26Jon needed help.
0:46:26 > 0:46:27He was struggling to cope.
0:46:27 > 0:46:33His doctor prescribed antidepressants.
0:46:33 > 0:46:36I still think there's a lot of stigma around it, as to,
0:46:36 > 0:46:38you know, are you weak because you take them?
0:46:38 > 0:46:40Are you are a nutnut because you take them.
0:46:40 > 0:46:46I had an image of Jack Nicholson in One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest
0:46:46 > 0:46:49at the end when he's a complete and utter zombie and you lose
0:46:49 > 0:46:51something about yourself, something that makes you you.
0:46:51 > 0:46:54And that's what I was concerned about, you'd turn into zombie
0:46:54 > 0:46:55without any feeling.
0:46:55 > 0:46:58But the only way I can describe it is that it gives you a kind
0:46:58 > 0:47:00of buffer around some of the negative thoughts
0:47:00 > 0:47:07and your mind racing.
0:47:07 > 0:47:10Today's report found that 21 of some of the most common antidepressants
0:47:10 > 0:47:12were more effective at treating anxiety and depression
0:47:12 > 0:47:13than dummy pills.
0:47:13 > 0:47:16Those behind the report as well as other GPs say the results
0:47:16 > 0:47:19show that these tablets could help more people cope with low moods.
0:47:19 > 0:47:21For too long, healthcare professionals have been denigrated
0:47:21 > 0:47:23and slated for prescribing drugs that they know will work.
0:47:23 > 0:47:25So many patients tell us they work.
0:47:25 > 0:47:28We only want to do this for the best of our patients.
0:47:28 > 0:47:31It is not about fobbing people off, it is genuinely trying to help them.
0:47:31 > 0:47:33In 2016, 65 million prescriptions for antidepressants were issued
0:47:33 > 0:47:34and the numbers are rising.
0:47:34 > 0:47:36But some critics say depression can be solved
0:47:36 > 0:47:42through positive mental attitude.
0:47:42 > 0:47:46You say you've been on them for five years...
0:47:46 > 0:47:52The research also outlines which pills work best.
0:47:52 > 0:47:55However, the authors are urging people not to switch medication
0:47:55 > 0:47:57before getting advice.
0:47:57 > 0:48:00Hopefully it made me an easier person to be around for my family.
0:48:00 > 0:48:03Yeah, the plan is, in regular consultation with my GP,
0:48:03 > 0:48:04to wean myself off of them.
0:48:04 > 0:48:14But that's got to be when the time is right.
0:48:23 > 0:48:25Saudi Arabia has announced it will spend 64 billion dollars to
0:48:25 > 0:48:26develop its entertainment industry.
0:48:26 > 0:48:28Its General Entertainment Authority has said over 220,000 jobs
0:48:28 > 0:48:34in entertainment will be created by 2030.
0:48:34 > 0:48:42Bear in mind that figure was 17,000 a year ago.
0:48:42 > 0:48:44This all part of what's called Vision 2030 -
0:48:44 > 0:48:47it's the grand plan of Prince Mohammed bin Salman or MBS
0:48:47 > 0:48:48as everyone refers to him.
0:48:48 > 0:48:51He's the son of King Salman - and leading the drive
0:48:51 > 0:48:54to diversify the Saudi economy.
0:48:54 > 0:49:02Here's BBC Arabic's Hadya Al-alawi.
0:49:02 > 0:49:08He is trying to shepherd the businesses in his country from the
0:49:08 > 0:49:11oil to the entertainment to encourage little to spend more money
0:49:11 > 0:49:17on that sector. Anyway, a lot of Saudi Arabians travel to nearby golf
0:49:17 > 0:49:24country such as Emirates to buy or Abu Dhabi Bahrain do-gooder concerts
0:49:24 > 0:49:29or have fun. They are trying to get money out of the entertainment
0:49:29 > 0:49:34business in a reserved way, keeping the balance between keeping Saudi
0:49:34 > 0:49:37Arabia as a reserved state, but at the same time giving people that
0:49:37 > 0:49:40kind of way of having fun in their own country without having to go
0:49:40 > 0:49:47across the Borders are else to do it every weekend. How do you do it in a
0:49:47 > 0:49:51reserved way, though? I saw a report saying Ricky Martin might be coming,
0:49:51 > 0:49:56and openly gay man with a very sexualised routine when he performs,
0:49:56 > 0:50:00had that fit in with Saudi Arabia and its way of doing things?That
0:50:00 > 0:50:05will be the main challenge, because the problem is not just that there
0:50:05 > 0:50:09are laws in the state that restrict people from going to concerts, there
0:50:09 > 0:50:14are no concerts in the country, but also that is a social restriction of
0:50:14 > 0:50:24rounded, so families who actually want their kids or daughters to go
0:50:24 > 0:50:26to concerts might face some kind of backlash from the society around
0:50:26 > 0:50:28them that they allowed their daughters to do that. Also because
0:50:28 > 0:50:31of sharia laws in the country there is going to be religious backlash as
0:50:31 > 0:50:36well. They are going to be mixing females and males in the same
0:50:36 > 0:50:39environment and we saw women attending football matches in a
0:50:39 > 0:50:44stadium, that is a largely dominated environment by males. There will be
0:50:44 > 0:50:49a lot of restrictions and challenges around that. To allow people to
0:50:49 > 0:50:54enjoy their time anyway that doesn't actually go against their religion,
0:50:54 > 0:50:58but at the same time opens the society slightly and slowly towards
0:50:58 > 0:51:05that change.It has happened in some forms. Behind me as a picture of a
0:51:05 > 0:51:08Greek artist has already performed. Had that goal and how are the
0:51:08 > 0:51:15dealing with these issues already? As I mentioned? They are trying to
0:51:15 > 0:51:19encourage people to open the society a little, so when they allow artists
0:51:19 > 0:51:26like that, who is not a sexy performer...He is not Ricky Martin.
0:51:26 > 0:51:31They are slowly introducing out into the country in that way they are
0:51:31 > 0:51:34hoping they can bring that change, but let's not be completely
0:51:34 > 0:51:38optimistic about it. We have to accept this will be a difficult
0:51:38 > 0:51:44mission, whatever the Government at the family. There are so many
0:51:44 > 0:51:47reservations around at that it's going to be very, very difficult to
0:51:47 > 0:51:53bring that change into the country. Within that period of ten years,
0:51:53 > 0:51:56maybe we will see it slowly moving, but we cant expect it to happen
0:51:56 > 0:51:58overnight.
0:51:58 > 0:52:00We've been talking a lot Black Panther the film because
0:52:00 > 0:52:01of its extraordinary success.
0:52:01 > 0:52:03We've a report now on the Black Panther movement
0:52:03 > 0:52:05of the 1960s and 70s in the US.
0:52:05 > 0:52:07It fought an armed struggle for racial justice
0:52:07 > 0:52:08and black empowerment.
0:52:08 > 0:52:11A new exhibit in New York focuses on 20 former members
0:52:11 > 0:52:12who remain in prison.
0:52:12 > 0:52:22Here's Nada Tawfik.
0:52:22 > 0:52:27It's been having a century since the Black Panther marched through the
0:52:27 > 0:52:29streets with Opera raised fists crying out for power to the people
0:52:29 > 0:52:36in their black berets and jackets. Many of the black nationalists was
0:52:36 > 0:52:39controversial figures remain imprisoned today. They are the
0:52:39 > 0:52:44subjects of artist Sylvia Dawson 's macro new exhibition,
0:52:44 > 0:52:48correspondence. -- Sofia Dawson. But I think it's important to have
0:52:48 > 0:52:54people whose stories have been forgotten, to have them on the
0:52:54 > 0:52:58outside for people who may be experiencing their stories free
0:52:58 > 0:53:08press time. Sophia this is about passion. She has visited Black
0:53:08 > 0:53:12Panther activist still incarcerated. Even her technique is a nod to black
0:53:12 > 0:53:18empowerment.I start on all black, it is an act of protest, a political
0:53:18 > 0:53:21statement, and also solidarity with the Black Panther movement and
0:53:21 > 0:53:25embracing the fact that the colour black is beautiful. I think it is
0:53:25 > 0:53:28will it run to have to pool B Collins out of black service.
0:53:28 > 0:53:34CROWD CHANT They were black revolutionaries who
0:53:34 > 0:53:39openly carried weapons. They said it was to protect against police
0:53:39 > 0:53:44brutality. To the FBI, they were militants, to others, they were
0:53:44 > 0:53:49freedom fighters.I didn't know that freehold clinics and exist before
0:53:49 > 0:53:51the Black Panther movement, I didn't know that free breakfast programmes
0:53:51 > 0:53:59didn't exist before the black and moment.This exhibition weaves
0:53:59 > 0:54:03personal stories with larger societal issues that the Black
0:54:03 > 0:54:08Panther movement was fighting. Since severe Dawson started this, a number
0:54:08 > 0:54:13of them have been released. They say the same injustices they saw a
0:54:13 > 0:54:17number of years ago are still present. This was the leader of the
0:54:17 > 0:54:22Black Panther in New York. He served his time for charges of attempted
0:54:22 > 0:54:27murder after gun battle with the police. He was given a hefty
0:54:27 > 0:54:33sentence for activism.The media are always presented as is being
0:54:33 > 0:54:40terrorists and Wales and of Ireland. Unprovoked attacks on police. They
0:54:40 > 0:54:47never talked about Hamley black men and women and children were dying at
0:54:47 > 0:54:52the hands of the police every day. -- the media always presented us as
0:54:52 > 0:55:00terrorists and wild and violent. Sophia believes understanding how
0:55:00 > 0:55:06past generations fought will help today's activists pave the way Ford.
