Jeremy Corbyn sets out his vision | 0:00:23 | 0:00:24 | |
for trade post Brexit -
calling for the UK to form | 0:00:24 | 0:00:27 | |
a new customs union with the EU. | 0:00:27 | 0:00:28 | |
It could spell trouble
for Theresa May's strategy. | 0:00:28 | 0:00:32 | |
The Beast from the East

And Donald Trump faces criticism
over his proposal to arm teachers. | 0:00:39 | 0:00:41 | |
We'll hear from Anthony
Zurcher in Washington. | 0:00:41 | 0:00:51 | |
Welcome to Outside Source... | 0:01:03 | 0:01:06 | |
we start the programme in Syria. | 0:01:06 | 0:01:09 | |
Russia has announced it
will establish a humanitarian | 0:01:09 | 0:01:11 | |
corridor out of the Syrian rebel
enclave of Eastern Ghouta. | 0:01:11 | 0:01:17 | |
The Damascus suburb
of Eastern Ghouta has endured one | 0:01:17 | 0:01:19 | |
of heaviest bombardments
of the Syrian civil war, | 0:01:19 | 0:01:21 | |
hundreds of people have been killed
in the last eight days. | 0:01:21 | 0:01:30 | |
Russia says the ceasefire will be
in place from 9am to 2pm, every day, | 0:01:30 | 0:01:33 | |
across Eastern Ghouta,
starting on Tuesday | 0:01:33 | 0:01:35 | |
and a "humanitarian corridor"
will be created to allow | 0:01:35 | 0:01:37 | |
civilians to leave. | 0:01:37 | 0:01:43 | |
The US, rights groups
and Syrian media have | 0:01:43 | 0:01:47 | |
said Russian planes have carried out
the air strikes on Eastern Ghouta, | 0:01:47 | 0:01:50 | |
including on hospitals. | 0:01:50 | 0:01:54 | |
What medical clinics are left
in the area have been overwhelmed | 0:01:54 | 0:01:56 | |
by wounded civilians and have very
few supplies left. | 0:01:56 | 0:02:00 | |
Let's hear a little from some
of the injured on the ground - | 0:02:00 | 0:02:03 | |
and the doctors treating them. | 0:02:04 | 0:02:13 | |
My brother-in-law came in, and in
the missile from the plane hit. I | 0:02:14 | 0:02:19 | |
didn't feel anything, my son, nine
years old, gone. We want this ordeal | 0:02:19 | 0:02:24 | |
to end. Our people are simple
people, they are exhausted. They | 0:02:24 | 0:02:28 | |
just want a bite to eat, they don't
want anything. We don't want | 0:02:28 | 0:02:32 | |
anything more, stop the wars, stop
all the destruction against my | 0:02:32 | 0:02:35 | |
people. TRANSLATION: In the
hospitals of Eastern Ghouta we are | 0:02:35 | 0:02:42 | |
suffering from an extreme shortage
of medical needs. We receive ten to | 0:02:42 | 0:02:47 | |
20 people at once and our staff are
exhausted. The nine days the | 0:02:47 | 0:02:51 | |
escalation has been night and day
and the staff have been working | 0:02:51 | 0:02:54 | |
nonstop. There has been no calm
whatsoever, there hasn't even been | 0:02:54 | 0:02:57 | |
time to catch 1's breath. The blood
is flowing, the hospitals are | 0:02:57 | 0:03:02 | |
overflowing with patients and there
is no place to evacuate them. Voices | 0:03:02 | 0:03:07 | |
of some of those still trapped. | 0:03:07 | 0:03:11 | |
Earlier, I spoke to Mahmoud Ali
Hamad from BBC Arabic about | 0:03:11 | 0:03:13 | |
the humanitarian corridor,
and what it means for the people | 0:03:13 | 0:03:16 | |
of eastern Ghouta. | 0:03:16 | 0:03:19 | |
If you look at what the Russians are
trying to achieve, it is similar to | 0:03:19 | 0:03:23 | |
what they have done over a year ago
in Aleppo, where they attempted to | 0:03:23 | 0:03:28 | |
retake the city on behalf of Assad's
regime. At the latter stage of that | 0:03:28 | 0:03:34 | |
procedure meant, and after days of
bombardment, basically carpet | 0:03:34 | 0:03:39 | |
bombing the whole areas, they would
announce in cooperation with the | 0:03:39 | 0:03:45 | |
Syrian regime for the opening of
corridors, and that would allow | 0:03:45 | 0:03:52 | |
civilians should they choose to meet
those pockets and enclaves where | 0:03:52 | 0:03:56 | |
they have been stuck since 2013. So
I think the Russians are drawn to | 0:03:56 | 0:04:02 | |
show they are taking measures to
minimise the level of, and it did | 0:04:02 | 0:04:10 | |
not work in Aleppo, and it is hard
for it to work in Ghouta. Pooter had | 0:04:10 | 0:04:15 | |
almost three times the number of
civilians we had in Aleppo. Plus in | 0:04:15 | 0:04:20 | |
Aleppo, people knew that they were
going about 50 to 60 kilometres | 0:04:20 | 0:04:26 | |
away. For Ghouta Buzz McAfee port to
accept the Russians terms, getting | 0:04:26 | 0:04:31 | |
out of Ghouta, and living just
behind the gunmen and the armed | 0:04:31 | 0:04:38 | |
militias, means being displaced 300
kilometres away to the North from | 0:04:38 | 0:04:42 | |
their home towns and villages. And
for them, for at least the people we | 0:04:42 | 0:04:47 | |
spoke to today, they said we are not
prepared to do this, to actually be | 0:04:47 | 0:04:53 | |
forced to relocate, to be displaced,
and this is the only way to save | 0:04:53 | 0:04:56 | |
your life, they say we are not
prepared for this option, because we | 0:04:56 | 0:04:59 | |
have seen what happened to the
civilians of East Aleppo, and for | 0:04:59 | 0:05:04 | |
East Ghouta, we believe that the
Russians have the same fate in | 0:05:04 | 0:05:08 | |
store. This is the sentiment that we
are getting from civilians in the | 0:05:08 | 0:05:13 | |
East Ghouta. That is part of a
problem they are having in actually | 0:05:13 | 0:05:15 | |
implementing such a plan. Another
one is that all those different | 0:05:15 | 0:05:20 | |
militias working with the Assad
regime to basically continue | 0:05:20 | 0:05:25 | |
besieging East Ghouta, they are
composed of different Shia militias, | 0:05:25 | 0:05:30 | |
and the population of East Ghouta is
majority Sunni, so you can imagine | 0:05:30 | 0:05:38 | |
they went feel comfortable handing
themselves over because basically | 0:05:38 | 0:05:41 | |
they don't know who sounds they will
fall into. This is one of the things | 0:05:41 | 0:05:46 | |
we keep hearing from civilians in
Ghouta. They save the seven years | 0:05:46 | 0:05:50 | |
they wanted to get us, and now it is
their chance. No one is going to | 0:05:50 | 0:05:54 | |
walk to them and we are not going to
be received with open arms. | 0:05:54 | 0:06:00 | |
The leader of Britain's opposition
Labour Party, Jeremy Corbyn, | 0:06:03 | 0:06:04 | |
has backed the UK remaining
in a permanent customs union with | 0:06:04 | 0:06:07 | |
the European Union after Brexit. | 0:06:07 | 0:06:12 | |
The shift in policy could lead
to Labour teaming up with rebels | 0:06:14 | 0:06:17 | |
in the governing Conservative Party
to try to defeat Prime Minister | 0:06:17 | 0:06:19 | |
Theresa May's Brexit strategy. | 0:06:19 | 0:06:24 | |
Mr Corbyn was speaking in Coventry
in the West Midlands, an important | 0:06:24 | 0:06:27 | |
centre for the British car industry. | 0:06:27 | 0:06:30 | |
He said the industry was dependent
on components crossing | 0:06:30 | 0:06:34 | |
borders freely in Europe. | 0:06:34 | 0:06:41 | |
We've long argued that a customs
union is a viable option for the | 0:06:41 | 0:06:46 | |
final deal. So Labour would seek to
negotiate a new, Conference of UK EU | 0:06:46 | 0:06:53 | |
customs union to ensure there are no
tariffs with Europe and to help | 0:06:53 | 0:06:56 | |
avoid any need whatsoever for a
hardboard in Northern Ireland. | 0:06:56 | 0:07:06 | |
Let's remind ourselves
of what a customs union is. | 0:07:06 | 0:07:11 | |
It's a group of countries
with a single set of tariffs | 0:07:11 | 0:07:15 | |
on goods from outside. | 0:07:15 | 0:07:19 | |
Within that area goods move
freely, without tariffs. | 0:07:19 | 0:07:22 | |
But member countries cannot
do their own separate trade deals, | 0:07:22 | 0:07:29 | |
they have to be agreed jointly. | 0:07:29 | 0:07:34 | |
And that's why the UK
Government wants to leave it. | 0:07:34 | 0:07:36 | |
Here's the international
trade secretary Liam Fox. | 0:07:36 | 0:07:39 | |
Remember that only the Bharatiya of
Britain's traders with the European | 0:07:39 | 0:07:42 | |
Union. -- the minority. The IMF
estimates that 90% of global trade | 0:07:42 | 0:07:50 | |
will be outside the European
continent, so we have to give | 0:07:50 | 0:07:54 | |
ourselves the freedom to have the
agreements necessary to maximise | 0:07:54 | 0:07:57 | |
Britain's share of that increased
trade because that is where the | 0:07:57 | 0:08:02 | |
prosperity of the next generation
will live. | 0:08:02 | 0:08:06 | |
On Friday the Prime Minister Theresa
May is due to give another speech | 0:08:06 | 0:08:09 | |
fleshing out what the government
wants from Brexit. | 0:08:09 | 0:08:11 | |
She's expected to say that Britain
wants the right to diverge from some | 0:08:11 | 0:08:14 | |
European standards over time. | 0:08:14 | 0:08:15 | |
But 20 months after
the referendum, everyone | 0:08:15 | 0:08:17 | |
is still asking for more detail. | 0:08:17 | 0:08:26 | |
Let's cross over live to
Westminster, because my colleagues | 0:08:26 | 0:08:30 | |
there, Jonathan Blake, is monitoring
all of these events. Let's start off | 0:08:30 | 0:08:35 | |
with what Jeremy Corbyn has been
saying. This into context for us? | 0:08:35 | 0:08:41 | |
What we got today from Jeremy Corbyn
was a point, which puts it at a | 0:08:41 | 0:08:47 | |
distinct different position to the
government's. Labour's position on | 0:08:47 | 0:08:51 | |
Brexit has been evolving, you could
say, confused, others would say, for | 0:08:51 | 0:08:55 | |
some time now, but Jeremy Corbyn, as
you heard, stood up and confirmed | 0:08:55 | 0:09:02 | |
what the party has been strongly
hinting about in the recent days and | 0:09:02 | 0:09:07 | |
weeks, that if it were in
government, it will seek to keep the | 0:09:07 | 0:09:14 | |
United Kingdom in a customs union
with the European Union. So they | 0:09:14 | 0:09:20 | |
were delivered on the referendum and
take the UK out of the EU that they | 0:09:20 | 0:09:23 | |
have a different approach to the
Conservative Party who are in | 0:09:23 | 0:09:27 | |
government and keep the UK in a
customs union, whereas the | 0:09:27 | 0:09:32 | |
government would like to take us out
of that particular mechanism. The | 0:09:32 | 0:09:35 | |
detail is less clear. The charge
that has been levied at the | 0:09:35 | 0:09:41 | |
government time and again is that it
is trying to have its cake and eat | 0:09:41 | 0:09:46 | |
it, take the benefit of being a
member of the European Union whilst | 0:09:46 | 0:09:50 | |
existing outside. Jeremy Corbyn's
desertion has two a certain extent | 0:09:50 | 0:09:54 | |
left the Labour Party open to the
same charge because he said whilst | 0:09:54 | 0:09:57 | |
he would want to keep the UK in a
customs union with the European | 0:09:57 | 0:10:01 | |
Union, he would still want to have
influence on negotiating trade | 0:10:01 | 0:10:06 | |
deals, which would affect the UK's
national interest. The European | 0:10:06 | 0:10:14 | |
Union is likely to say if you are
not in the European Union that you | 0:10:14 | 0:10:17 | |
cannot have a say on trade deals
negotiated by the European Union. So | 0:10:17 | 0:10:22 | |
the big selling point does put
Labour in a different place to the | 0:10:22 | 0:10:26 | |
government, but the detail as to how
those positions would work is far | 0:10:26 | 0:10:29 | |
less clear. We are expecting to hear
from Theresa May on Friday. Thank | 0:10:29 | 0:10:35 | |
you very much, Jonathan Blake in
Westminster. | 0:10:35 | 0:10:39 | |
Donald Trump has been
hosting state governors - | 0:10:39 | 0:10:41 | |
inevitably the topic came back
to gun control. | 0:10:41 | 0:10:45 | |
There is currently a state inquiry
into law enforcement's response | 0:10:45 | 0:10:47 | |
to the school shooting
at Marjory Stoneman | 0:10:47 | 0:10:49 | |
Douglas High School. | 0:10:49 | 0:10:50 | |
But here's what the president said. | 0:10:50 | 0:10:58 | |
I got to watch some deputy sheriffs
performing this weekend. They | 0:10:58 | 0:11:04 | |
weren't exactly medal of honour
winners, all right. The way they | 0:11:04 | 0:11:09 | |
performed was frankly disgusting. I
really believe, you don't know until | 0:11:09 | 0:11:12 | |
you test it, but I really believe
that if I ran into them, even if I | 0:11:12 | 0:11:17 | |
didn't have a weapon, and I think
most of the people of this remark | 0:11:17 | 0:11:20 | |
would have done that too. | 0:11:20 | 0:11:23 | |
Anthony Zurcher in Washington. | 0:11:23 | 0:11:27 | |
The president really speaking his
mind, as per usual. Yes, as per | 0:11:27 | 0:11:31 | |
usual. Hypothetical heroism is the
easiest kind, and Sarah Huckabee | 0:11:31 | 0:11:40 | |
Sanders the White House press
secretary came out afterwards and | 0:11:40 | 0:11:42 | |
said he wasn't really literally
talking about running into the | 0:11:42 | 0:11:45 | |
building, it was talking about how
he would want to take a leadership | 0:11:45 | 0:11:48 | |
role, and like everyone else, trying
to take some sort of a leadership | 0:11:48 | 0:11:55 | |
role, and contrasting it with what
the deputies did or did not do at | 0:11:55 | 0:11:59 | |
that particular time. I will leave
it up to the viewers if that was an | 0:11:59 | 0:12:05 | |
accurate interpretation of what
Donald Trump said. After the | 0:12:05 | 0:12:08 | |
president spoke of the floor was
opened up to the state governors. | 0:12:08 | 0:12:12 | |
This is what the Washington governor
had to say about the proposal to | 0:12:12 | 0:12:15 | |
armed teachers. I have listened to
the first grade teachers who don't | 0:12:15 | 0:12:20 | |
want to be pistol packing first
grade teachers. I have listened to | 0:12:20 | 0:12:23 | |
law enforcement to have said they
don't want to train teachers as law | 0:12:23 | 0:12:27 | |
enforcement agencies, which takes
about six months. I just think this | 0:12:27 | 0:12:30 | |
is a circumstance where we need to
listen, that educators should | 0:12:30 | 0:12:34 | |
educate and Richard not be foisted
upon this squad is ability of | 0:12:34 | 0:12:38 | |
packing heat in first grade classes.
Now I understand you have suggested | 0:12:38 | 0:12:43 | |
this, and we suggest things
sometimes we listen about it, maybe | 0:12:43 | 0:12:46 | |
they don't look so good a little
later, so I just suggest we need a | 0:12:46 | 0:12:50 | |
little less tweeting here, a little
more listening, let's take that off | 0:12:50 | 0:12:54 | |
the table and move forward. That was
the Washington governor addressing | 0:12:54 | 0:12:58 | |
the president. Anthony, a lot of
concern over this concern about | 0:12:58 | 0:13:05 | |
arming teachers within schools.
Right, and the democratic governor | 0:13:05 | 0:13:12 | |
of Washington, Washington has been
one of the state that has been very | 0:13:12 | 0:13:15 | |
active in opposing some of Donald
Trump slack policies, particularly | 0:13:15 | 0:13:19 | |
in immigration, so it is not
surprising to hear their governor | 0:13:19 | 0:13:22 | |
the very strong in his question of
that arming schoolteachers policy. | 0:13:22 | 0:13:26 | |
We are talking about millions of
schoolteachers. Right now about 60% | 0:13:26 | 0:13:31 | |
of the American public has concealed
handgun carry licenses, -- about 6% | 0:13:31 | 0:13:37 | |
of the American public. It is a
massive undertaking. It is not | 0:13:37 | 0:13:44 | |
surprising to hear some of Donald
Trump's critics try to pick that | 0:13:44 | 0:13:48 | |
apart a bit, although I will note
there is a sheriff in Ohio who is | 0:13:48 | 0:13:53 | |
offering within his county free
handgun training for public school | 0:13:53 | 0:13:57 | |
teachers. He says he already has 300
teachers who have signed up to get | 0:13:57 | 0:14:01 | |
training, so in some quarters that
seems to be a welcome option, a way | 0:14:01 | 0:14:05 | |
of countering school gun violence.
Thank you for putting that into | 0:14:05 | 0:14:09 | |
context for us. | 0:14:09 | 0:14:12 | |
Stay with us on Outside Source -
still to come... | 0:14:12 | 0:14:14 | |
The film studio co-founded
by disgraced producer | 0:14:14 | 0:14:17 | |
Harvey Weinstein is to file
for bankruptcy; we'll | 0:14:17 | 0:14:19 | |
have the latest from New York. | 0:14:19 | 0:14:23 | |
Five people have now died
following an explosion at a shop | 0:14:28 | 0:14:31 | |
in Leicester last night. | 0:14:31 | 0:14:32 | |
Authorities say it could take
some days to establish | 0:14:32 | 0:14:34 | |
the cause of the blast,
and that some people may | 0:14:34 | 0:14:37 | |
still be unaccounted for. | 0:14:37 | 0:14:44 | |
Police said the search at the scene
will have to continue in Leicester. | 0:14:48 | 0:14:55 | |
This operation for the emergency
services will carry on while there | 0:14:55 | 0:14:57 | |
is a possibility that someone might
be trapped in a void. To give up is | 0:14:57 | 0:15:03 | |
not correct. Once the thorough job
has been completed, the site will be | 0:15:03 | 0:15:08 | |
secured, made safe and a proper
investigation into what happened | 0:15:08 | 0:15:10 | |
will take place. And EU have
knowledge of how many people there | 0:15:10 | 0:15:14 | |
may still be trapped? Not really,
bearing in mind it was a shop | 0:15:14 | 0:15:18 | |
premises with a flat above, that is
why we have been asking all day, it | 0:15:18 | 0:15:23 | |
someday hasn't seen somebody they
expected to see today, please ring | 0:15:23 | 0:15:28 | |
Leicestershire police and let us
know who that person is and as much | 0:15:28 | 0:15:31 | |
information about them as possible. | 0:15:31 | 0:15:35 | |

Our lead story is? | 0:15:38 | 0:15:40 | |
Russia has agreed to a five
hour daily ceasefire | 0:15:40 | 0:15:42 | |
in Syria's Eastern Ghouta
starting on Tuesday. | 0:15:42 | 0:15:46 | |
It'll be the first break
for the rebel stronghold. | 0:15:46 | 0:15:53 | |
BBC Arabic report that Saudi Arabia
has opened applications for women | 0:15:53 | 0:15:56 | |
to join its military. | 0:15:56 | 0:15:59 | |
Women have until Thursday
to apply for positions | 0:15:59 | 0:16:01 | |
with the rank of soldier. | 0:16:01 | 0:16:03 | |
The decision is one of many reforms
enhancing women's rights | 0:16:03 | 0:16:06 | |
in the conservative Muslim kingdom. | 0:16:06 | 0:16:15 | |
A dangerous attempt at to summit
Pakistan's K2 mountain in the winter | 0:16:15 | 0:16:19 | |
has been aborted. A Russian attempt
of the solo attempt after he argued | 0:16:19 | 0:16:25 | |
with the rest of the expedition. He
then set out a loan before turning | 0:16:25 | 0:16:29 | |
back a day later. And a lot of
people online have been reading | 0:16:29 | 0:16:33 | |
about the global shortage in
raisins. It is caused by a drop in | 0:16:33 | 0:16:39 | |
production in California. The UK is
hit hard. It is the biggest importer | 0:16:39 | 0:16:44 | |
of dried fruit, but don't be too
concerned. This current shortage has | 0:16:44 | 0:16:46 | |
come too late to affect the cost of
hot cross buns, for this year, at | 0:16:46 | 0:16:51 | |
least. Let's bring you up-to-date
with the Outside Source business | 0:16:51 | 0:16:58 | |
news. | 0:16:58 | 0:16:59 | |
Reports suggest that Harvey
Weinstein's New York film studio - | 0:16:59 | 0:17:02 | |
the Weinstein company -
looks set to file for bankruptcy. | 0:17:02 | 0:17:04 | |
Several media outlets say that talks
to sell some of the business' | 0:17:04 | 0:17:07 | |
assets have broken down. | 0:17:07 | 0:17:10 | |
Joe Miller is in New York. | 0:17:10 | 0:17:16 | |
So they couldn't find a buyer? No,
they couldn't. In fact, this looks | 0:17:16 | 0:17:22 | |
like it's the end of the road for
the Weinstein company first let's | 0:17:22 | 0:17:26 | |
talk you through what happened here,
after dozens of allegations of | 0:17:26 | 0:17:32 | |
sexual harassment surfaced in
October, the company got rid of | 0:17:32 | 0:17:35 | |
Harvey Weinstein and tried to wind
down and find a buyer. That wasn't | 0:17:35 | 0:17:40 | |
too easy. Eventually it found a
conglomerate that was adjusted in | 0:17:40 | 0:17:43 | |
buying it for about $500 million,
and that look like it was going | 0:17:43 | 0:17:48 | |
ahead, until an extraordinary
intervention by the New York | 0:17:48 | 0:17:54 | |
Attorney General a couple of weeks
ago, and he filed a civil rights | 0:17:54 | 0:17:59 | |
lawsuit, saying he didn't want this
deal to go ahead unless there were | 0:17:59 | 0:18:03 | |
assurances that the people who are
allegedly involved in this sexual | 0:18:03 | 0:18:07 | |
harassment, or involved in covering
it up, would not benefit from the | 0:18:07 | 0:18:11 | |
sale, and that the employees, some
of whom were victims of the alleged | 0:18:11 | 0:18:16 | |
harassment, would keep their jobs.
It looked like both parties could | 0:18:16 | 0:18:18 | |
not agree this would happen, and
therefore the Weinstein Company is | 0:18:18 | 0:18:23 | |
saying it has no choice but to file
for bankruptcy. Another story we | 0:18:23 | 0:18:30 | |
want to have a look at. According to
this particular tweet, which | 0:18:30 | 0:18:34 | |
suggests there are quite a few
people out there who are lying about | 0:18:34 | 0:18:37 | |
owning Bitcoin, I guess weather
status or something. 50 cents admits | 0:18:37 | 0:18:43 | |
he has never owned and is not now
own any Bitcoin. What is going on? | 0:18:43 | 0:18:52 | |
The latest hilarity in the 50 cents
bankruptcy proceedings. 50 cents, | 0:18:52 | 0:18:57 | |
the rapper, also known as Curtis
James Jackson said, he has been | 0:18:57 | 0:19:02 | |
filing for bankruptcy for a while.
The court has essentially asked him | 0:19:02 | 0:19:05 | |
to prove that the wealthy flaunts on
social media is not real. -- 50 | 0:19:05 | 0:19:11 | |
Cent. First he had to defend
Instagram posts that his lawyers | 0:19:11 | 0:19:20 | |
said were fake money. Now we have
the filings that say that 50 cents, | 0:19:20 | 0:19:24 | |
who had been bragging about making 8
million in Bitcoin from one of his | 0:19:24 | 0:19:30 | |
albums in 2014 actually made
nothing. He says, so long as a press | 0:19:30 | 0:19:34 | |
story is not irreparably damaging to
my image or brand I usually do not | 0:19:34 | 0:19:39 | |
feel the need to publicly deny the
reporting, so in other words he | 0:19:39 | 0:19:42 | |
thought that owning Bitcoin or
looking like he did, was good for | 0:19:42 | 0:19:47 | |
his brand, and when news
organisation started reporting that | 0:19:47 | 0:19:50 | |
committee kept quiet, but
apparently, according to this | 0:19:50 | 0:19:53 | |
filing, he never did own any of it.
Thank you, Joe Miller in New York, | 0:19:53 | 0:20:00 | |
as always. Let's keep the news on
the OS business news. Here is a | 0:20:00 | 0:20:05 | |
question to you, would you like to
know when a recession is coming? It | 0:20:05 | 0:20:08 | |
could be simple. How many women are
pregnant? It could suggest that the | 0:20:08 | 0:20:19 | |
rate of women becoming pregnant
tends to fall seven months before | 0:20:19 | 0:20:21 | |
the start of a recession. Our
business reporter explained it to | 0:20:21 | 0:20:28 | |
us. We are looking for certain data
points that might give us a centre | 0:20:28 | 0:20:32 | |
for what happened in the future, why
they are related, who is to say. | 0:20:32 | 0:20:36 | |
They are correlated but not
necessarily causing the thing | 0:20:36 | 0:20:39 | |
happening. This particular bit of
research looked at 109 million birth | 0:20:39 | 0:20:44 | |
records, and found that since 1988
there have been big recessions in | 0:20:44 | 0:20:48 | |
the US, three of them, and almost
six months before them, you could | 0:20:48 | 0:20:51 | |
see fewer women were getting
pregnant. That is the sort of | 0:20:51 | 0:20:55 | |
interesting data point they are
looking here. Maybe you are sitting | 0:20:55 | 0:20:57 | |
down with your partner at the table,
trying to figure out what the future | 0:20:57 | 0:21:01 | |
will look like for you. Do you want
to bring a child into the world? If | 0:21:01 | 0:21:11 | |
you do, you are optimistic about the
future, so the idea is you might not | 0:21:11 | 0:21:14 | |
have lost your job yet, or got that
promised bonus, but you're not | 0:21:14 | 0:21:17 | |
really do this together at getting
it, so you will put off having a kid | 0:21:17 | 0:21:20 | |
in the hopes that things might
improve. | 0:21:20 | 0:21:21 | |
If you have an opinion on that, you
know where to get in touch. The | 0:21:21 | 0:21:31 | |
smartphone event is underway in
Barcelona, the Mobile world | 0:21:31 | 0:21:35 | |
Congress. Global sales of
smartphones fell by over 5% in the | 0:21:35 | 0:21:39 | |
last three months of 2017. In the
battle to be another one, Samsung is | 0:21:39 | 0:21:47 | |
still beating Apple, selling over
80% of all -- 18% of all handsets | 0:21:47 | 0:21:55 | |
last quarter. Apple were second, and
this is the interesting part of this | 0:21:55 | 0:21:59 | |
story. Rounding off the top five
phone makers were three Chinese | 0:21:59 | 0:22:05 | |
companies, Huawei. Rory Cellan-Jones
explains what is going on. I think | 0:22:05 | 0:22:16 | |
what has happened over the last few
years is people for Chinese | 0:22:16 | 0:22:19 | |
companies, they are just going to be
in the Chinese market. That is a | 0:22:19 | 0:22:24 | |
huge market, plenty for them to play
at that, but they are showing here | 0:22:24 | 0:22:27 | |
in Barcelona that that is not enough
of them. Huawei in particular have a | 0:22:27 | 0:22:33 | |
huge presence here, a vast stand,
and they say they are probably about | 0:22:33 | 0:22:36 | |
number three in the world right now
and they have ambitions to be number | 0:22:36 | 0:22:39 | |
one. I went and visited them five
years ago when they were just | 0:22:39 | 0:22:43 | |
getting into smartphones. Their
ambition seemed unlikely. They said | 0:22:43 | 0:22:46 | |
they would be number three by now,
they have kind of done it, so don't | 0:22:46 | 0:22:50 | |
count them out. | 0:22:50 | 0:22:55 | |
Europe is in the grips
of a deep freeze. | 0:22:55 | 0:23:02 | |
And it's because of this,
a bitterly cold front, dubbed | 0:23:02 | 0:23:04 | |
the "beast from the east",
that is sweeping arctic | 0:23:04 | 0:23:06 | |
air from Siberia right
across the continent. | 0:23:06 | 0:23:08 | |
It's expected to continue having
a big impact in the coming days - | 0:23:08 | 0:23:11 | |
bringing sub-zero temperatures
to many regions. | 0:23:11 | 0:23:16 | |
Here in the UK, it's sent
temperatures plummeting. | 0:23:16 | 0:23:19 | |
These are some of the key pictures
that have come into the BBC | 0:23:19 | 0:23:22 | |
newsroom from across the country. | 0:23:22 | 0:23:25 | |
Snow has been falling in many
areas, including London. | 0:23:25 | 0:23:29 | |
It's disrupted some public transport
services, and caused dangerous | 0:23:29 | 0:23:32 | |
conditions on the roads. | 0:23:32 | 0:23:35 | |
If things pan out the way
they're predicted to, | 0:23:35 | 0:23:38 | |
it could be Britain's coldest
spell since 1991. | 0:23:38 | 0:23:42 | |
This is Rome. | 0:23:42 | 0:23:46 | |
Residents of the Italian capital
woke to a rare blanketing of snow. | 0:23:46 | 0:23:49 | |
It's the coldest weather
they've had in six years. | 0:23:49 | 0:23:57 | |
There's always someone
making the most of it. | 0:23:57 | 0:24:00 | |
This is St Peter's
Square in the Vatican. | 0:24:00 | 0:24:03 | |
Priests among the many joining
in the fun of a snowball fight. | 0:24:03 | 0:24:08 | |
And this weather it
hasn't been putting off | 0:24:08 | 0:24:13 | |
the brave in Germany. | 0:24:13 | 0:24:18 | |
These are swimmers taking
to an outdoor pool in Munich. | 0:24:18 | 0:24:23 | |
That's despite the temperature
dropping to around minus ten degrees | 0:24:23 | 0:24:25 | |
celsius in the area. | 0:24:25 | 0:24:35 | |
It is not over yet, these are
warnings that are in place across | 0:24:35 | 0:24:39 | |
the UK, across all of these regions.
Yellow regions indicating that the | 0:24:39 | 0:24:45 | |
weather is possible to go really,
really cold. Let's get a full update | 0:24:45 | 0:24:49 | |
from Nick Miller. | 0:24:49 | 0:24:51 | |
Widespread cold air across much of
Europe. You may have heard about | 0:24:54 | 0:24:57 | |
sudden stratospheric warming. The
result of that, what goes on high in | 0:24:57 | 0:25:01 | |
the atmosphere, is what we are
seeing right now across Europe. You | 0:25:01 | 0:25:05 | |
can see all the Blues here, the cold
air spreading from Siberia, from | 0:25:05 | 0:25:09 | |
Russia, across much of mainland
Europe and into the United Kingdom, | 0:25:09 | 0:25:13 | |
and with that blue, with that very,
very cold air, the source region for | 0:25:13 | 0:25:18 | |
the air, to badgers have fallen as
low as -40 Celsius, there are many | 0:25:18 | 0:25:22 | |
places that will see snow over the
next few days. -- temperatures have | 0:25:22 | 0:25:25 | |
fallen. Significantly the relations
of snow in places. It is stormy | 0:25:25 | 0:25:32 | |
through the Mediterranean, a lot of
the white showing up will be falling | 0:25:32 | 0:25:35 | |
the white showing up will be falling
as heavy snow. There are not many | 0:25:35 | 0:25:38 | |
places immune from seeing
significant snow as we go through | 0:25:38 | 0:25:40 | |
the rest of the week, because this
cold air is hanging around. It is in | 0:25:40 | 0:25:44 | |
no hurry to move away and we will
potentially see at the end of the | 0:25:44 | 0:25:48 | |
week an even bigger weather system
heading towards the British Isles | 0:25:48 | 0:25:51 | |
with significant disruptive snow. | 0:25:51 | 0:25:54 | |
It is one of the coldest, snowiest
periods we have seen across Europe. | 0:25:55 | 0:26:03 | |
It is one of the coldest, snowiest
periods we have seen across Europe. | 0:26:03 | 0:26:08 | |
We start our round-up in North
America, where the planes of the US | 0:26:13 | 0:26:17 | |
and the Mississippi Valley have
played host to some very heavy | 0:26:17 | 0:26:19 | |
rainfall through the weekend. In
fact, the Ohio river, the biggest | 0:26:19 | 0:26:25 | |
victory of the Mississippi river, it
does mean we have had extensive | 0:26:25 | 0:26:28 | |
flood alerts issued. Since that it
was on moderate alert, with the | 0:26:28 | 0:26:33 | |
levels reaching 65 foot. Anything
above 59th that will trigger those | 0:26:33 | 0:26:37 | |
alerts, but almost all communities
adjacent to the Ohio river have been | 0:26:37 | 0:26:43 | |
on alert. Water is continuing to
recede through Tuesday as high | 0:26:43 | 0:26:46 | |
pressure builds. Our hire can only
hang on for so long here, because we | 0:26:46 | 0:26:54 | |
will see the showers developing
across is to parts of Texas on | 0:26:54 | 0:26:58 | |
Tuesday, and eventually coming
together in a more well formed | 0:26:58 | 0:27:00 | |
weather system, which then is going
to push its way further north latest | 0:27:00 | 0:27:06 | |
Tuesday, but particularly on into
Wednesday. It tracks all the way | 0:27:06 | 0:27:09 | |
across the plains, along with some
southerly winds, and will push more | 0:27:09 | 0:27:15 | |
heavy rain into Ohio on Wednesday.
This story far from over. New | 0:27:15 | 0:27:19 | |
Zealand saw some very heavy rainfall
through the weekend. 300 millimetres | 0:27:19 | 0:27:22 | |
in just the space of Saturday
falling across part of the North | 0:27:22 | 0:27:25 | |
Ireland. Again, an ongoing story
here, New Zealand has been hit by | 0:27:25 | 0:27:31 | |
many areas of low pressure in recent
weeks, and if we take a look at the | 0:27:31 | 0:27:35 | |
latest satellite picture, we can see
another one here queueing up and the | 0:27:35 | 0:27:39 | |
Tasman Sea. It will bring a spell of
strong winds, yes, but more | 0:27:39 | 0:27:44 | |
importantly through the course of
Wednesday it will be the heavy rain | 0:27:44 | 0:27:46 | |
once again that affect the south
island. We can take a little bit of | 0:27:46 | 0:27:50 | |
closer picture for Wednesday.
Auckland has had the worst of the | 0:27:50 | 0:27:53 | |
rain but further south that system
covering a good part of the south | 0:27:53 | 0:27:57 | |
island through the data stop a
little bit closer to home now, let's | 0:27:57 | 0:28:02 | |
head across to Europe, where the
cold continues. Sunday night, parts | 0:28:02 | 0:28:10 | |
of northern Russia, -41 Celsius but
even closer to home across | 0:28:10 | 0:28:12 | |
Scandinavia, low as as low as -35 in
Sweden and Norway, and that is where | 0:28:12 | 0:28:17 | |
we are pulling our air from at the
moment. All the way across this | 0:28:17 | 0:28:21 | |
really right the way down into
southern Europe, that cold air | 0:28:21 | 0:28:25 | |
spreading, blasting out into the
Atlantic too. Meeting up with | 0:28:25 | 0:28:29 | |
slightly warmer air across the
warmer waters of the Mediterranean, | 0:28:29 | 0:28:32 | |
cooking up some pretty nasty
low-pressure systems here for the | 0:28:32 | 0:28:35 | |
next few days and stop some strong
winds and heavy snowfall Romania, | 0:28:35 | 0:28:39 | |
heavy rain to Turkey, and look at
this mess across Portugal, Spain and | 0:28:39 | 0:28:43 | |
the South of France on Wednesday.
Further north, the easterly winds | 0:28:43 | 0:28:47 | |
continue to blast from Siberia.
Plentiful snow showers in the | 0:28:47 | 0:28:51 | |
forecast Scandinavia and also for
the UK and a significant wind-chill | 0:28:51 | 0:28:54 | |
as well. As ever, I will leave my
colleague to give you more details | 0:28:54 | 0:28:59 | |
on that in just half an hour. | 0:28:59 | 0:29:02 | |
Hello, this is Outside Source,
and these are the main stories | 0:30:12 | 0:30:15 | |
here in the BBC Newsroom. | 0:30:15 | 0:30:16 | |
Russia agrees to a daily five-hour
ceasefire in Syria's Eastern Ghouta. | 0:30:16 | 0:30:19 | |
It'll start on Tuesday - | 0:30:19 | 0:30:20 | |
the first break for
the rebel stronghold. | 0:30:20 | 0:30:22 | |
Britain's Labour leader
Jeremy Corbyn sets out his vision | 0:30:22 | 0:30:24 | |
for trade post Brexit,
calling for the UK to form | 0:30:24 | 0:30:27 | |
a new customs union with the EU. | 0:30:27 | 0:30:30 | |
It could spell trouble
for Theresa May's strategy. | 0:30:30 | 0:30:34 | |

#BBCOS is the hashtag | 0:30:41 | 0:30:50 | |
It's six months since
Hurricane Harvey hit Texas, | 0:31:01 | 0:31:04 | |
killing 68 people and forcing more
than 40,000 to flee their homes. | 0:31:04 | 0:31:10 | |
More than 60 inches of rain fell,
causing devastating flooding. | 0:31:10 | 0:31:15 | |
Laura Trevelyan reported
from Houston on the impact | 0:31:15 | 0:31:18 | |
of Harvey last August,
and has returned to find out how | 0:31:18 | 0:31:21 | |
people made homeless
by the ferocious storm are faring. | 0:31:21 | 0:31:31 | |
Houston underwater. This was the
catastrophic flooding caused by | 0:31:31 | 0:31:33 | |
hurricane Harvey. As record rainfall
saturated the city, again using | 0:31:33 | 0:31:40 | |
neighbourhoods and turning lives
upside down. It's an emotional | 0:31:40 | 0:31:48 | |
moment for Gloria, clutching Snoopy
as she shows where she was rescued | 0:31:48 | 0:31:53 | |
from as the floodwaters rose. It was
devastating. I just couldn't believe | 0:31:53 | 0:32:01 | |
it. I look at it and it is still
hard. Her home of over 20 years is | 0:32:01 | 0:32:06 | |
uninhabitable, and she didn't have
flood insurance, like thousands of | 0:32:06 | 0:32:10 | |
others in Houston. Now she is living
in a hotel, paid for by the federal | 0:32:10 | 0:32:17 | |
emergency management agency, but she
doesn't feel safe. I have to | 0:32:17 | 0:32:20 | |
barricade myself in here every night
because there is so much going on | 0:32:20 | 0:32:24 | |
out there. Prostitution every night,
guys driving by one night, shooting | 0:32:24 | 0:32:32 | |
eight times towards this hotel. I
had to get on the floor. What impact | 0:32:32 | 0:32:38 | |
as it had on you personally, being
out of your house for these past six | 0:32:38 | 0:32:42 | |
months? I'm on medicine for
depression, I have got to the point | 0:32:42 | 0:32:48 | |
where I really wanted to die, and
asked God to take me home. | 0:32:48 | 0:32:56 | |
Volunteers from a Houston charity
are helping rebuild Gloria's home. | 0:32:56 | 0:33:00 | |
Hopefully she can return in March.
Mother nature did what she did and | 0:33:00 | 0:33:04 | |
we are helping people recover as
best we can. Federal officials are | 0:33:04 | 0:33:09 | |
trying to help families like
Gloria's get back home. People do | 0:33:09 | 0:33:13 | |
expect someone to fix it. Our role
is not bad. We want to help | 0:33:13 | 0:33:20 | |
everybody in every way we can as
quickly as we can but in doing that | 0:33:20 | 0:33:24 | |
we also have to be mindful of the
taxpayer dollars that we are | 0:33:24 | 0:33:27 | |
spending. Here is how this suburb
looked in August. The neighbourhood | 0:33:27 | 0:33:35 | |
was deliberately submerged, as
officials let water out of the | 0:33:35 | 0:33:37 | |
nearby reservoir to stop it
overflowing. Dan and Virginia did | 0:33:37 | 0:33:41 | |
not have flood insurance, and are
still trying to rebuild. Six months | 0:33:41 | 0:33:46 | |
on, we're not home yet. We vacillate
between saying, do we want to be in | 0:33:46 | 0:33:53 | |
this house or do we want to start
over somewhere else? I describe it | 0:33:53 | 0:33:57 | |
as a roller-coaster of emotion. It
was the horror of being flooded, | 0:33:57 | 0:34:02 | |
being a house with two small
children and a new dog, and the | 0:34:02 | 0:34:07 | |
craziness of the last six months,
trying to rebuild your life. As | 0:34:07 | 0:34:11 | |
Houston recovers from the impact of
Harvey, the next Tara came season is | 0:34:11 | 0:34:17 | |
only four months away. This is a
sprawling coastal city, with bayous | 0:34:17 | 0:34:21 | |
like this which I won a ball to
flooding. So is anything being done | 0:34:21 | 0:34:24 | |
to protect Houston against future
hurricanes. It did not disconnect as | 0:34:24 | 0:34:33 | |
to whether you work for otherwise,
the floodwaters came and you were | 0:34:33 | 0:34:39 | |
adversely affected. The mayor knows
all too well how exposed to city is. | 0:34:39 | 0:34:44 | |
Rejecting it is a long-term project.
It is important for the city to take | 0:34:44 | 0:34:49 | |
steps towards mitigating flooding.
Why use need to be expanded, there | 0:34:49 | 0:34:55 | |
needs to be more retention places
put in place. That is the full | 0:34:55 | 0:35:02 | |
comfort for Gloria, still waiting to
go home, traumatised by the | 0:35:02 | 0:35:08 | |
flooding. Hurricane Harvey destroyed
homes and lives. Houston's | 0:35:08 | 0:35:17 | |
rebounding, but the road to recovery
is a long one. | 0:35:17 | 0:35:24 | |
Russia has announced it
will establish a humanitarian | 0:35:24 | 0:35:25 | |
corridor out of the Syrian rebel
enclave of Eastern Ghouta. | 0:35:25 | 0:35:32 | |
The Damascus suburb
of Eastern Ghouta has endured | 0:35:32 | 0:35:33 | |
one of the heaviest bombardments
of the Syrian civil war - | 0:35:33 | 0:35:37 | |
hundreds of people have been killed
in the last eight days. | 0:35:37 | 0:35:39 | |
Russia says the ceasefire will be
in place from 9am to 2pm every day, | 0:35:39 | 0:35:43 | |
across Eastern Ghouta,
starting on Tuesday | 0:35:43 | 0:35:47 | |
and a "humanitarian
corridor" will be created | 0:35:47 | 0:35:51 | |
to allow civilians to leave. | 0:35:51 | 0:36:00 | |
With me is Lyse Doucet, our chief
international correspondent. | 0:36:00 | 0:36:05 | |
You know this area, you have been
there before. The conditions that | 0:36:05 | 0:36:09 | |
people there are suffering under our
unimaginable. The UN | 0:36:09 | 0:36:15 | |
Secretary-General called it hell on
earth, where you have nearly 400,000 | 0:36:15 | 0:36:18 | |
people who have been besieged,
encircled in that suburb of Damascus | 0:36:18 | 0:36:23 | |
since 2013. In the last eight or
nine days, they have seen some of | 0:36:23 | 0:36:29 | |
the heaviest bombardment since this
war began. There is also the impact | 0:36:29 | 0:36:34 | |
and pressure on the people of
Damascus, who have had barrages of | 0:36:34 | 0:36:38 | |
missiles, mortars fired from the
rebel groups who are based in that | 0:36:38 | 0:36:45 | |
enclave, and it is for that reason
that Russia and the Syrian | 0:36:45 | 0:36:47 | |
government are saying that this is
not a Germanic Terry and crisis as | 0:36:47 | 0:36:51 | |
many in the world are saying, it is
a battle against terrorism. -- it is | 0:36:51 | 0:36:57 | |
not a humanitarian crisis | 0:36:57 | 0:37:00 | |
a battle against terrorism. -- it is
not a humanitarian crisis. There are | 0:37:00 | 0:37:05 | |
many saying that the corridor will
not allow things to come through. | 0:37:05 | 0:37:11 | |
People have to decide to leave
through the corridor, that is the | 0:37:11 | 0:37:15 | |
thing we saw in Aleppo in 2016.
Russia and the Syrian government | 0:37:15 | 0:37:22 | |
also offered these corridors, many
people didn't leave because they | 0:37:22 | 0:37:26 | |
were afraid of the consequences if
they did. They didn't have anywhere | 0:37:26 | 0:37:31 | |
to go, so they decided to stay where
they were. In some cases in Aleppo, | 0:37:31 | 0:37:37 | |
rebel groups stopped people from
leaving. More than a year on, there | 0:37:37 | 0:37:42 | |
is even more people living in this
area, they are more afraid about | 0:37:42 | 0:37:47 | |
leaving because they have nowhere to
go, they don't want to be | 0:37:47 | 0:37:52 | |
transported to a distant province
where they have no family, no | 0:37:52 | 0:37:55 | |
relatives, no one to seek refuge
with. Also they don't know what the | 0:37:55 | 0:38:00 | |
rebel groups are and what their
goals are, and if they are going to | 0:38:00 | 0:38:06 | |
stop people from leaving. We will
have to wait and see if people will | 0:38:06 | 0:38:09 | |
take advantage of the corridor. It
is meant to be safe, will it be? Are | 0:38:09 | 0:38:17 | |
you convinced, confident that there
will be eight is fired during those | 0:38:17 | 0:38:20 | |
five hours? There will not be a
ceasefire as we know it, because | 0:38:20 | 0:38:28 | |
Russia has said time and again that
certain groups will not be included. | 0:38:28 | 0:38:34 | |
It is also excluding partners of
groups like Al-Qaeda, which gives | 0:38:34 | 0:38:43 | |
them a licence to keep fighting. We
have heard the same message from the | 0:38:43 | 0:38:49 | |
Syrian government as well. How will
this compare to what happened in | 0:38:49 | 0:38:55 | |
Aleppo? Each situation is different.
This is up particular concern for | 0:38:55 | 0:38:59 | |
the Government because it is on the
edge of Damascus. It also comes at a | 0:38:59 | 0:39:13 | |
time when they want to finish it
off, they want to take this area. | 0:39:13 | 0:39:18 | |
There is a real determination to try
to continue to push out the rebels. | 0:39:18 | 0:39:25 | |
There were intense discussion to
some of the rebel groups. The | 0:39:25 | 0:39:30 | |
Government made it clear that they
would not negotiate with the | 0:39:30 | 0:39:33 | |
hardline linked to Al-Qaeda. In some
cases, the rebels refused to leave, | 0:39:33 | 0:39:42 | |
and this is what happened.
Thank you. | 0:39:42 | 0:39:49 | |
Don't forget you can get much more
detail on our top stories | 0:39:49 | 0:39:52 | |
on our website, including
extensive coverage of the crisis | 0:39:52 | 0:39:54 | |
in Eastern Ghouta. | 0:39:54 | 0:39:58 | |
One week ago, 110 Nigerian
schoolgirls were abducted | 0:40:02 | 0:40:07 | |
from a town in Yobay
state called Dapchi. | 0:40:07 | 0:40:12 | |
It has taken a week
to have that confirmed - | 0:40:12 | 0:40:17 | |
at first, the state government said
the girls were simply "missing". | 0:40:17 | 0:40:22 | |
This is what is left of the school. | 0:40:22 | 0:40:25 | |
This was the classroom. | 0:40:25 | 0:40:27 | |
It's now empty, but last Monday
students and teachers | 0:40:27 | 0:40:30 | |
were running to bushes nearby | 0:40:30 | 0:40:32 | |
as Boko Haram militants
stormed the school. | 0:40:32 | 0:40:39 | |
Katalla Bukar's 14-year-old daughter
Aisha is among the missing girls. | 0:40:39 | 0:40:41 | |
He's begging the Nigerian
government to act quickly. | 0:40:41 | 0:40:51 | |
TRANSLATION: As of now, we are
disturbed because it is Monday and | 0:40:54 | 0:41:01 | |
the children have spent seven days
with those militants. They have | 0:41:01 | 0:41:06 | |
never experienced such a thing in.
Until this moment, there are no | 0:41:06 | 0:41:11 | |
hints about their whereabouts was
the buying here to speak on behalf | 0:41:11 | 0:41:14 | |
of the fathers of the abducted girls
stop no more, no less, we need | 0:41:14 | 0:41:20 | |
maximum contribution of every camp
in the world. We also need the help | 0:41:20 | 0:41:23 | |
from the state and federal
government to help because they have | 0:41:23 | 0:41:29 | |
not experienced this will stop I
know they were abducted by militants | 0:41:29 | 0:41:33 | |
and where ever they are now they are
mentally affected because the oldest | 0:41:33 | 0:41:36 | |
among them is only 20 years old. I
can't explain further because I am | 0:41:36 | 0:41:40 | |
not with them. Both the state and
federal covered have said they will | 0:41:40 | 0:41:44 | |
bring them back soon. We are in a
bad situation. Me and the family are | 0:41:44 | 0:41:49 | |
in a bad situation. | 0:41:49 | 0:41:53 | |
His anger is felt
by many of the parents. | 0:41:53 | 0:41:55 | |
They want answers over reports | 0:41:55 | 0:41:57 | |
that soldiers withdrew
from checkpoints in the town. | 0:41:57 | 0:42:00 | |
Some of them are angry
that the military had claimed | 0:42:00 | 0:42:02 | |
to have defeated Boko Haram
in the area just last month. | 0:42:02 | 0:42:07 | |
Nigeria's President has apologised
and declared a national disaster. | 0:42:07 | 0:42:10 | |
His information minister said,
"We want to assure Nigerians | 0:42:10 | 0:42:16 | |
that no stone will be left unturned
in our determination | 0:42:16 | 0:42:18 | |
to rescue these girls." | 0:42:18 | 0:42:23 | |
It's not surprising
that these kidnappings | 0:42:23 | 0:42:28 | |
are being compared to the abductions
in Chibok, | 0:42:28 | 0:42:29 | |
a town that's only
300 kilometres away. | 0:42:29 | 0:42:31 | |
UNICEF says, "We have not forgotten
the tragedy of the Chibok girls | 0:42:31 | 0:42:34 | |
from four years ago,
when 276 girls were abducted | 0:42:34 | 0:42:36 | |
by Boko Haram militants." | 0:42:36 | 0:42:38 | |
Still, large number
of the girls have not returned. | 0:42:38 | 0:42:44 | |
And now this. | 0:42:44 | 0:42:45 | |
These figures from UNICEF show
the dangers faced by teachers - | 0:42:45 | 0:42:54 | |
over 2,000 teachers
have been killed by Boko Haram | 0:42:54 | 0:42:56 | |
and 1,400 schools
destroyed since 2009. | 0:42:56 | 0:43:02 | |
Our correspondent,
Stephanie Hegarty, is in Lagos. | 0:43:02 | 0:43:08 | |
It seems that finally the Government
is starting to take control, to step | 0:43:12 | 0:43:16 | |
up their efforts to find the girls.
They said they deployed all of the | 0:43:16 | 0:43:20 | |
airpower they can, they have
surveillance aircraft monitoring the | 0:43:20 | 0:43:24 | |
region. But it is a week later and
many parents are still angry and | 0:43:24 | 0:43:29 | |
confused about how the federal
government is dealing with this. We | 0:43:29 | 0:43:34 | |
have had comparisons to what
happened with the kidnapping in | 0:43:34 | 0:43:40 | |
2014, lots of people criticising the
Government and saying they did not | 0:43:40 | 0:43:44 | |
learn anything from that incident.
At least this time we have an | 0:43:44 | 0:43:46 | |
acknowledgement that this has
happened, and we have some movement, | 0:43:46 | 0:43:51 | |
although it has been slow, from the
Government to try and find the girls | 0:43:51 | 0:43:55 | |
stop the big question is, why won't
the school is being protected by the | 0:43:55 | 0:43:58 | |
Army? The governor was angry at the
military for pulling out from a | 0:43:58 | 0:44:06 | |
checkpoint and week before. There
has been much criticism of that. The | 0:44:06 | 0:44:13 | |
army said in their defence that they
can't man every single school, every | 0:44:13 | 0:44:18 | |
single village in the entire region.
But this was a big school, close to | 0:44:18 | 0:44:23 | |
1000 students, so lots of people
were asking why it was not a | 0:44:23 | 0:44:28 | |
priority to protect those girls. | 0:44:28 | 0:44:30 | |
The Democratic Republic
of Congo is facing | 0:44:30 | 0:44:35 | |
an uncertain political future. | 0:44:35 | 0:44:36 | |
This is the president,
Joseph Kabila - | 0:44:36 | 0:44:38 | |
he has overstayed his time in power. | 0:44:38 | 0:44:40 | |
His mandate expires
at the end of 2016, | 0:44:40 | 0:44:42 | |
but there is no date
for another election. | 0:44:42 | 0:44:48 | |
People have been protesting
on streets in Kinshasha - | 0:44:48 | 0:44:50 | |
two people were killed on Sunday. | 0:44:50 | 0:44:54 | |
Two weeks ago, we brought
you a report from the border | 0:44:54 | 0:44:56 | |
with Uganda on the flow of migrants
escaping violence and hunger. | 0:44:56 | 0:45:00 | |
Now we have a report from Bunia
where a bitter ethnic conflict | 0:45:00 | 0:45:05 | |
is starting up again. | 0:45:05 | 0:45:07 | |
Catherine Byaruhanga has been
there - this is her report. | 0:45:07 | 0:45:17 | |
Three friends who only have each
other. They ran for two days after | 0:45:17 | 0:45:25 | |
their village was attacked. Their
parents are gone, so they have to | 0:45:25 | 0:45:30 | |
fend for themselves. Fighting has
erupted here between rival ethnic | 0:45:30 | 0:45:36 | |
groups. But when I asked the boys
which tried they belong to, they | 0:45:36 | 0:45:41 | |
have no idea. Children have taken
the brunt of this conflict. The boys | 0:45:41 | 0:45:51 | |
are staying with Francoise. She has
lived through war before and knows | 0:45:51 | 0:45:58 | |
what it is like to run away from
home with nothing. She has opened | 0:45:58 | 0:46:03 | |
her doors to over 40 people, but
can't look after all of them. | 0:46:03 | 0:46:08 | |
TRANSLATION: The Government needs to
assist them so that I can help them | 0:46:08 | 0:46:13 | |
all. This places in the open, and
they feel cold. There is no | 0:46:13 | 0:46:18 | |
mattress, no food, clothes. The
fighting is happening out here in | 0:46:18 | 0:46:27 | |
the countryside. It is too remote
and too dangerous for aid agencies | 0:46:27 | 0:46:32 | |
to reach. Some have stayed behind,
but not out of choice. This church | 0:46:32 | 0:46:42 | |
is now abandoned. There are no more
masses. The Catholic Church is one | 0:46:42 | 0:46:49 | |
of the most powerful institutions
here in the Democratic Republic of | 0:46:49 | 0:46:54 | |
Congo. The fact that priests and
nuns have fled is a sign of the | 0:46:54 | 0:46:58 | |
level of insecurity in this region.
This woman has spent her life | 0:46:58 | 0:47:07 | |
farming, but now she can barely find
food to feed her children. She can't | 0:47:07 | 0:47:10 | |
afford to go to Bunia, the safer
town. | 0:47:10 | 0:47:15 | |
TRANSLATION: We know the situation
is difficult here, but what can we | 0:47:15 | 0:47:20 | |
do? Because we can't travel to ten
two without money. It is to far to | 0:47:20 | 0:47:26 | |
travel without kids. We are forced
to live in this church. Across the | 0:47:26 | 0:47:35 | |
TRC, nearly 5 million people have
been driven from their homes will | 0:47:35 | 0:47:41 | |
stop the president has delayed
elections, leading to a power vacuum | 0:47:41 | 0:47:45 | |
and a web of conflicts. The UN has
its biggest peacekeeping force in | 0:47:45 | 0:47:52 | |
the country, but it's struggling to
protect civilians. The Government | 0:47:52 | 0:47:57 | |
doesn't seem ready to take
responsibility. The only person who | 0:47:57 | 0:48:02 | |
would talk to us is the Army
spokesman, but he says the fighting | 0:48:02 | 0:48:07 | |
isn't their problem for now.
TRANSLATION: This is not a military | 0:48:07 | 0:48:14 | |
mission, it is about reinstating
public order, so it is commanded by | 0:48:14 | 0:48:19 | |
the police. If they believe the
situation is getting worse, the Army | 0:48:19 | 0:48:23 | |
will take hold. Meanwhile, like many
children, the three boys are trapped | 0:48:23 | 0:48:28 | |
in a country sliding further into
chaos. | 0:48:28 | 0:48:38 | |
The Turkish President has been
strongly criticised after telling | 0:48:38 | 0:48:41 | |
a little girl who was dressed up
in military uniform | 0:48:41 | 0:48:44 | |
that she would be honoured
if killed while fighting. | 0:48:44 | 0:48:48 | |
Recep Tayyip Erdogan was speaking
at a meeting of his AK | 0:48:48 | 0:48:52 | |
party in the southern
town of Kahramanmaras. | 0:48:52 | 0:48:56 | |
Here's Mr Erdogan with the child. | 0:48:56 | 0:49:03 | |
And if we take a closer look you can
see her maroon beret, | 0:49:03 | 0:49:06 | |
which is of the type worn
by the Turkish special forces. | 0:49:06 | 0:49:12 | |
Mr Erdogan is quoted as saying | 0:49:12 | 0:49:14 | |
"We have our maroon berets here,
but maroon berets never cry." | 0:49:14 | 0:49:19 | |
He then goes on to say, "She has
a Turkish flag in her pocket too. | 0:49:19 | 0:49:23 | |
If she's martyred, they'll lay
a flag on her, God willing." | 0:49:23 | 0:49:27 | |
There's been plenty of criticism
on social media | 0:49:27 | 0:49:36 | |
but Mr Erdogan has often glorified
martyrdom in the past. | 0:49:36 | 0:49:39 | |
Here's the BBC's
Selin Gerit in Istanbul. | 0:49:39 | 0:49:43 | |
It was a jubilant scene for Sun, but
difficult to watch for others. He | 0:49:43 | 0:49:48 | |
told the little girl that she should
be honoured if she got killed in a | 0:49:48 | 0:49:53 | |
military operation. Those who were
watching at the scene started | 0:49:53 | 0:49:57 | |
chanting slogans in his favour,
asking them to -- asking him to take | 0:49:57 | 0:50:05 | |
them to the combat zone. Criticism
erupted on social media. Some said | 0:50:05 | 0:50:10 | |
it was akin to child abuse, another
saying, you can't wish her dead. He | 0:50:10 | 0:50:18 | |
has been criticised for a long time
for promoting martyrdom. It is seen | 0:50:18 | 0:50:26 | |
as one of the highest honours of
Islam. Over 30 Turkish soldiers have | 0:50:26 | 0:50:37 | |
got killed in combat in recent
times, they are considered as | 0:50:37 | 0:50:41 | |
martyrs here in Turkey, every police
officer and every soldier killed on | 0:50:41 | 0:50:46 | |
duty is considered a master. -- a
martyr. | 0:50:46 | 0:50:52 | |
Let me take you to Jerusalem,
where Christian leaders | 0:50:52 | 0:50:54 | |
have taken the rare and sudden
step of shutting one | 0:50:54 | 0:50:57 | |
of their holiest sites -
the Church of Holy Sepulchre. | 0:50:57 | 0:51:03 | |
Let me show you what
happened on Sunday. | 0:51:03 | 0:51:05 | |
The big wooden doors to this
1,000-year-old doors | 0:51:05 | 0:51:07 | |
were closed indefinitely
in a land and tax dispute. | 0:51:07 | 0:51:11 | |
Moments earlier, these leaders
of Catholic, Armenian | 0:51:11 | 0:51:12 | |
and Greek denominations, | 0:51:12 | 0:51:16 | |
had strong words for
the Israeli authorities, | 0:51:16 | 0:51:17 | |
accusing them of a
"systematic campaign" | 0:51:17 | 0:51:19 | |
on Christians in the Holy Land. | 0:51:19 | 0:51:21 | |
Worshippers are forced
to pray outside. | 0:51:21 | 0:51:23 | |
Signs are put up in
solidarity which read, | 0:51:23 | 0:51:25 | |
"Stop the persecution of churches." | 0:51:25 | 0:51:31 | |
The church objects to an attempt
to tax its property, | 0:51:31 | 0:51:34 | |
which the authorities in Jerusalem
view as commercial. | 0:51:34 | 0:51:37 | |
They fear
that proposed property laws | 0:51:37 | 0:51:38 | |
would let the state
claim church-owned land. | 0:51:38 | 0:51:42 | |
Here are church leaders
talking about it. | 0:51:42 | 0:51:51 | |
It breaches their obligations which
guarantee the rights in what seems | 0:51:55 | 0:52:05 | |
to be an attempt to weaken the
Christian presence in Jerusalem. We | 0:52:05 | 0:52:11 | |
decided to take this unprecedented
step of closing the Church of Holy | 0:52:11 | 0:52:18 | |
Sepulchre. | 0:52:18 | 0:52:19 | |
But on the other side
of the debate is the Mayor, | 0:52:19 | 0:52:22 | |
who is trying to get
about $186 million | 0:52:22 | 0:52:24 | |
in uncollected taxes
on church assets. | 0:52:24 | 0:52:25 | |
Take a look at this tweet. | 0:52:25 | 0:52:29 | |
Well, the church attracts
thousands of worshippers | 0:52:43 | 0:52:47 | |
and tourists every year. | 0:52:47 | 0:52:47 | |
We know it as a key site
for Christians | 0:52:47 | 0:52:50 | |
who believe Jesus was crucified,
buried and resurrected there. | 0:52:50 | 0:52:52 | |
Let's hear from some
of the visitors there. | 0:52:52 | 0:52:58 | |
I am disappointed because I did not
know it was going to be close. I | 0:52:58 | 0:53:02 | |
came to Jerusalem may need to see
the church. All over the rolled, I | 0:53:02 | 0:53:10 | |
have never heard of any church
paying taxes anywhere. What is this | 0:53:10 | 0:53:15 | |
new idea? We wanted to visit the
actual grave, right? The most | 0:53:15 | 0:53:23 | |
important thing for us. We received
this information yesterday that it | 0:53:23 | 0:53:29 | |
would be closed. We hope for a
couple of hours, but apparently it | 0:53:29 | 0:53:35 | |
is closed for a longer period. I
feel disappointed. | 0:53:35 | 0:53:38 | |
A lot of disappointment indeed. | 0:53:38 | 0:53:40 | |
China's Communist Party has
proposed removing a clause | 0:53:40 | 0:53:42 | |
in the constitution which limits
presidencies to two five-year terms. | 0:53:42 | 0:53:45 | |
This means President Xi Jinping
could remain as leader | 0:53:45 | 0:53:48 | |
after the end
of his second term in 2023. | 0:53:48 | 0:53:55 | |
The censors have gone
into overdrive, | 0:53:55 | 0:53:56 | |
and people have been trying to get
around the firewall. | 0:53:56 | 0:54:03 | |
Here's the reason Winnie the Pooh - | 0:54:03 | 0:54:04 | |
the cartoon regularly compared
to President Xi - has been banned. | 0:54:04 | 0:54:07 | |
Here's Professor Steve Tsang | 0:54:07 | 0:54:08 | |
to explain China's
constitutional changes. | 0:54:08 | 0:54:13 | |
It is significant largely innocent
because the office of the state | 0:54:13 | 0:54:16 | |
president is so largely significant.
He asked for it and get it knowing | 0:54:16 | 0:54:21 | |
full well that there is a
significant price to pay in terms of | 0:54:21 | 0:54:29 | |
the party establish and being
uncomfortable with it. And also the | 0:54:29 | 0:54:35 | |
population is uncomfortable with it.
He has consolidated power, he | 0:54:35 | 0:54:38 | |
doesn't need to extend his office as
state president in order to stay in | 0:54:38 | 0:54:47 | |
power beyond 2023. He has already
done that in October. He is doing | 0:54:47 | 0:54:55 | |
it, and the difference is that in
2023, he can go on state visits. | 0:54:55 | 0:55:02 | |
There is not a lot else that he
needs this office in order to do. On | 0:55:02 | 0:55:05 | |
top of that, he has his thoughts
being written into the car is Jewish | 0:55:05 | 0:55:12 | |
and of the Chinese Communist Party.
The only other party who had that | 0:55:12 | 0:55:18 | |
was the founder of the republic of
china, nobody else had ever achieved | 0:55:18 | 0:55:26 | |
that apart from him. | 0:55:26 | 0:55:29 | |
