Halaholo. This is Outside Source. It

could be the red light for a diesel

cars in Germany. A court rules that

cities can ban them to

protect people from harmful

emissions. Saudi Arabia sacks its

top military commanders including

the Chief of Staff as its

intervention in the war in Yemen

enters its third year. Fighting in

Craigavon means there is no

ceasefire in Syria -- Eastern Guta.

We starred in Germany were a

landmark ruling will allow cities to

ban the diesel cars. It applies to

these cities, Stuttgart and is sold

off, they are the most polluted in

the country, environmental groups

sued them to force them to take

action against dangerous levels of

nitrogen oxide. Angela Merkel has

opposed a ban and wants to protect

the jobs in the industry. She gave

this reassurance today.

TRANSLATION: What most definitely

happen is that clear air plans have

to be put into action with the help

of the government.

We will discuss

further matters but the parties

concerned. What is important to

mention is that the ruling is

specific to individual cities, were

more needs to be done, but it does

not target the whole country or all

drivers in Germany.

The concern is

Germany's mass of car manufacturing

industry and how it would cope if

the ban was ruled out. It will no

doubt heard. Germany has 15 million

cars on German roads and 50 million

of them are diesel and of them, only

a fraction, 2.7 million made those

EU standards. Hours after the

ruling, Hamburg said it would follow

suit and impose limited band and the

question now, has diesel had its

day?

Let us get more from Jenny

health. In a country where the car

is king, this ruling is

controversial. German towns and

cities can now choose to legally ban

diesel vehicles that were built

before September 2015. More than 70

German towns and cities regularly

exceed EU air pollution limits and

some experts say that those limits

are themselves too high. National

figures suggest that every year in

Germany alone, up to 8000 people die

from cardiovascular disease which is

linked to nitrogen oxide air

pollution. It is a huge problem. The

ruling is controversial. It means

that cities like Hamburg can press

ahead with plans which have been in

the pipeline to stop diesel vehicles

using certain city roads at certain

times. It could lead to some cities

banning them all together and that

is causing huge controversy.

Frankfurt says it is unenforceable

and it does not want to put the ban

in place but it may be forced to it

an environmental group and there are

such groups out there comes along

and takes it to court and

says they are not doing enough to

protect people from air pollution.

There are concerns from industry and

trade who say that local economies

could be impacted by a ban on

commuters been able to move in and

out in their cars and that is before

you take into account the car

industry which employs 800,000

people every year. There is a lot of

concern about any kind of diesel

ban, sales have been something ever

since the VW emission scandals broke

and there are concerns that this

will generate more negative

publicity. First of all, this

applies to older diesel vehicles and

not current models. Secondly, there

are voices within the industry who

say that Germany was

slow off, but it is important that

it starts to focus on newer, cleaner

technologies and those voices would

say that perhaps diesel has had its

day.

Environmentalists say this is a

huge victory. I spoke to him about

the ruling and what could mean for

the future of diesel in Europe.

It

is a great day for clean air in

Germany and abroad in Europe, occurs

the highest court in Germany is

deciding that air quality is much

more important than mobility. It

means about 70% of the diesel this

year or next year, are forbidden to

enter into the cities. We will have

a dramatic increase in air quality.

We try to help the people, the

owners of these cars, because the

car industry is cheating in the

emissions standards. It is not only

Volkswagen and Audi, it is BMW and

others, using devices to fulfil the

regulation only in the tested area.

Having six or seven times more

emissions in reality.

Of course

those companies are not there to

have their say or put their

prospective but I wonder how much of

a spotlight the emissions candle put

on diesel in the first place?

Cashback with the emissions scandal.

-- the emissions scandal. The diesel

companies they lost all credibility

and it is a fault by our government

who predicted for years that diesel

technology -- who protected the

diesel technology. This is the

reason why we have this bad

situation in air quality because no

one was controlling and now there is

a flashback, European standards for

air quality have to be fulfilled and

it is higher and more important than

the question of mobility.

What does

this mean for the individuals, the

individuals who perhaps are rich

enough to buy a new car with the

cleaner technology? The people who

thought that they were doing the

right thing by doing -- by buying a

diesel car a few years ago, this is

surely not fair on them?

It is not

fair and we are fighting as a

consumer organisation as well for

about 9 million buyers of these

cars. The industry was promising

that these cars were clean and

environmentally friendly and CO2

effective and that is not true.

These cars are polluting the air

quality in the cities, even more

than old cars. And so, we have only

one opportunity, the car industry

has to retrofit the diesel cars,

they have to take back the cheating

catalyse eight and replace it with a

functioning good one, like break

that is not functioning, but the car

industry is responsible to fix the

car and we want to have the same for

this part.

He is from the

environmental group that brought

that action. Some breaking news from

Reuters, President Trump's son in

law Jared Kushner has lost his

access to the President's daily

brief. What that means is that he

has lost access to the most valued

US intelligence report. What we are

learning via Reuters, is that the

White House is moving to impose

greater discipline on access two

secrets, that is from two US

officials familiar with the matter,

that is what they have said to

Reuters. Close Trump adviser, the

son-in-law of the President has lost

his access to that most valued

report, the daily brief. We will be

speaking about that in about ten

minutes time. Saudi Arabia has

sacked its top military commanders

and several junior ministers as part

of a big shake-up seen as elevating

younger officials in key security

and economic pulse. The biggest

casualty was this man, the Chief of

Staff. He is seen here greeting

other officers at a naval base. New

bosses were also appointed for air

defence and land forces, no formal

reason has been given, so what is

going on? Saudi Arabia is ruled by

this man but it is his son who is

behind many recent big changes in

the country including an attempt to

shift the economy away from

dependence on oil. In 2015 he

initiated the intervention in the

Yemen war. You can see how it is

going. The war has really turned

into a humanitarian disaster. This

image shows a little girl being

rescued from the site of an air

strike that killed eight family

members last year. More than 11,000

people have been killed in the

fighting so far and there has been

an outbreak of cholera.

There is no

official line about why they did

this and it is hard to speculate why

they did this. It has something to

do with Yemen. There has been a lot

of criticism about his involvement

in the war in Yemen, the number of

casualties and what has happened and

they want to CNN to this. These

changes do not necessarily mean that

the strategy of Saudi Arabia will

change in Yemen. This does not mean

that it will end the war in Yemen.

The individual demotions, the people

who have been removed, we do not

know exactly what the reasons are.

No, that is why it is strange. When

things like this happen there, they

do not give a reason, they reshuffle

people and a lot of it has to do

with loyalties and those who are

close to the Royal Family and those

who they think and do a good job.

They give them the job rather than

it being based on their skills, it

is about how close they are to the

family. We do not know exactly what

happened, we are just reading into

this like anyone else.

What can we

read into the elevation of a woman,

the deputy Labour minister, is this

part of the modernisation effort, to

promote a more moderate view of

Islam in Saudi Arabia?

It is a

moderate step and Saudi Arabia is

trying to change its image that it

had for so long, that it had been

Conservative and reserved and kept

women on the side and not having

that participation of females in

power and in higher positions and I

think we have seen a lot of changes

in the past few months. Women were

allowed to go into stadiums, small

changes, and may be for someone

outside Saudi Arabia, they would

think they are minor changes, but

for women there who have never been

able to drive or participate in

politics, or in public life such as

that, it is a very big deal. It is

part of the plan...

This is his

vision.

I think he is trying to

bring a lot of people who are close

to him and a lot of analysts are

saying this is paving the way for

him for when he becomes King. He

wants to change the image of Saudi

Arabia and he wants to have not a

Conservative Islam model in the

state. How that will happen, we will

see how that goes, but I think he is

trying hard and I think all so he

will create some enemies on the way

because not all people are happy

about this.

Temperatures have

continued to plunge across Europe as

the Siberian weather for as --

Siberian weather system moves in.

There have been accidents on roads

and railways. In Serbia, a truck

travelling between -- travelling

from Belgrade crashed on a bridge

and it was left dangling over a

river. It was two hours before the

driver to be rescued. In Croatia,

were a northern town has been

paralysed by record snowfall.

Schools in the area have been closed

after that. Emergency services had

to spend several hours evacuating

nearby village. Let us go to Vienna,

where we can get the view from

central Europe. It is bitterly cold

here in Vienna and the icy winds are

making it feel even colder than it

actually is and these kind of

conditions we are seeing throughout

central and even the south of Europe

at the moment, there has been snow

in Rome and Naples, widespread

travel disruption. A country like

Austria is used to the snow and here

we have not seen the kind of

disruptions that we have in some of

the neighbouring countries. It is

extremely difficult for anyone who

does not have shelter and there is

an effort throughout this part of

the world to make sure that people

who are homeless are brought to

shelters where they can have a warm

place to sleep that night. In

Poland, we understand that several

people have actually died because of

exposure to the cold. People are

bracing themselves, certainly for a

few more days of this and many

people will be very relieved when

this cold snap is over. Here in the

UK, heavy snow led to a day of

disruption for schools and

travellers, many rail services were

cancelled in the south-east and

Network Rail has issued an apology

for closing line in areas where the

snow never fail. Victoria Fritz

reports. It wants to provide the

safest and most reliable network for

the trains that do run to run and

that means that compacted snow can

turn into ice, back in fact the

points and stop them working. We

could see freezing temperatures, we

do not need any snow at all that can

make the rails freeze which means

that the signals do not change, so

that all these problems, despite

efforts to try and counteract this,

we are talking about Europe's

busiest railway network so more

disruptions are expected tomorrow.

Still to come here on Outside

Source... Coming up soon, more about

that. The film director Lewis

Gilbert, the man behind some of the

classic Bond films has died at the

age of 97. We will look back at his

life and career. The primers to's

office has dispersed any prospect of

a return to a horror border between

Northern Ireland and the Republic of

Ireland as a consequence of Brexit

-- returned to a hard border.

As far

as a spokesperson is concerned, he

was setting out technologically

unfeasibly how this border might

work after Brexit. They say he was

not suggesting there should be any

kind of hard border, there was a

phrase in that letter that said even

if there was a hard border, goods

would still not be checked. That has

raised the possibility that he was

contemplating a hard border against

what was stated government policy.

Downing Street have made it very

clear at the position of the

government that it is unchanged,

that it will not contemplate a hard

border on the island of Ireland.

Nothing has changed because of Boris

's letter. Nothing has changed in

their position.

You're watching

Outside Source. Our top story. It

could be the red light for a diesel

cars in Germany, a court has ruled

that cities can ban them to protect

people from harmful emissions.

Others store cheese -- stories from

around the BBC right now. The

funeral of the Bollywood superstar

will be held on Wednesday after

police closed the investigation into

her death in Dubai. An autopsy ruled

that she drowned in a band after

losing consciousness. She appeared

in around 300 movies. Mexican

authorities are searching for three

police officers in connection with

the disappearance of three Italian

men on the 31st of January. Four

officers are already in custody

accused of handing the Italians

overdue a criminal gang. Here is one

animal lots of people have been

looking at online, this Atlantic

grey seal was found nearly dead on a

beach in Norfolk last September. She

had a plastic ring trapped around

her neck. The volunteers who cut it

off nursed back to help and they

have released back into the sea. --

nursed back to health. Comcast,

which owns NBC and Universal

Pictures has outfoxed its rival with

a bid for Sky. Sky has agreed a deal

with 21st-century fox but that is

facing scrutiny but the power of

Rupert Murdoch's media empire. Let

us join our correspondent in New

York. Why is Comcast so interested

in Sky?

Comcast is essentially a US

focused company which is very big

here in the United States but it has

virtually no presence beyond its

shores and the CEO said he was in

London in the back of a taxi and

someone talked about Sky and all of

its products and the Sky Sports

packages and then he

went to Westfield in London and they

showed him some of the technology in

a Sky shop and he was impressed and

he thought it was a decent chance to

make inroads into the European

market because Sky is strong in the

UK and Ireland and Germany and

Italy. You seen a scrap over a very

profitable and very sought after

asset in Europe in the media world

in Europe, between Disney is set to

buy Fox and the part of sky that

Rupert Murdoch owns and one of its

rivals, Comcast and perhaps we could

be seen in a bidding war between

these companies for a UK and

European asset.

While you are with

us, I want to ask you about this

tweet saying that am is buying the

smart doorbell maker ring, why are

they making this move?

I did not

know of such a thing as that! Amazon

has been interested in companies

like this for a while and the reason

is simple. What Ring does is it

allows you to have video doorbells

you can control from your

smartphone, see who is at the door

even if you are at work or out and

of course, that is perfect if you

are Amazon looking to deliver

parcels and you want a way to make

sure that people can get to their

deliveries when they are not at

home. A start-up like this that

provides a solution is a really good

addition to the company and you can

see why they have gone after it.

What is interesting is that the

money for this came from Amazon

originally, it has a programme in

which it helps young entrepreneurs

get their project off the ground, it

helped build this business and it

looks like it will buy it back in a

big deal.

Thank you. When the

world's most important central

bankers speaks, everyone listens.

Jerome Powell made his first major

appearance as head of the US Federal

Reserve earlier and here is what he

said.

We will continue to strike a

balance between avoiding an

overheated economy and bringing

price inflation to 2% on a sustained

basis. In view of the committee,

further gradual increases the funds

rate will obtain their objectives.

Lower corporate taxes should lead to

higher investment and the effect is

not easy to estimate but the studies

find that it should lead to higher

investment and that should lead to

higher productivity over time and

that should lead to higher wages

over time.

Let us stay in the US and

go back to that breaking news that

Jared Kushner has last access to the

present's daily brief. That news

came in via Reuters. Let us get an

explanation from Gary O'Donoghue in

Washington. Tell us what this means

and why it has happened?

Effectively

what it means is that Jared Kushner

will no longer get access to top

secret information that comes into

the White House, including the

President's daily briefing, includes

highly classified intelligence

material and of course, given his

role in the White House and it is a

huge role ranging across a whole

bunch of subject areas including

relations with Mexico and of course,

crucially, the whole business of

Middle East peace and the

negotiations there are, not been

able to see top secret, the most

secret information that comes in

will handicap and hamper his

ability to leave. The reason he has

had a problem with this clearance is

part of it is self-inflicted. He

made a bit of a mess filling in a

forum that everyone has to fill in

who is seeking this kind of

clearance. It details your

employment history, financial

details, that kind of thing and then

the FBI has a look at it, does some

interviews and eventually gives you

the clearance or does not give you

the clearance. Or recommends the

clearance or not. He has had to

revise that form a number of times

and there are concerns about his

business entanglements with people

outside the United States and

whether or not that could

potentially compromise his ability

to look at that sort of

intelligence. It is a really

difficult position for him to find

himself in,

embarrassing for the President and

as I say, it will leave him with the

ability to do his job, only with one

hand tied behind his back.

In 30

seconds, what can we read into the

timing of this, if anything?

We know

that the Chief of Staff wanted to

clamp down on the sheer number of

people who were operating under this

interim security clearance. Jared

Kushner was not the only one who was

subject to this backlog and after

the recent scandal around Rob

Porter, senior adviser who was also

under interim clearance, who was a

potential blackmail target because

of his own personal life, then the

review was taken place and now John

Kelly has decided, enough is enough,

these clearances have to stop.

Thank

you very much. Gary O'Donoghue

bringing us up to date in Washington

with the news that Jared Kushner has

lost his access to the most valued

US intelligence report. Back in a

few minutes time.

Hello. It is off to north America.

Some positively springlike

conditions on the way in the North

eastern state of the USA on

Wednesday. Plenty of sunshine

binders weather system and some

unseasonably white -- mild air has

pushed in. Winter continues here. On

Wednesday, some areas will see

damage is between ten and 15 degrees

below average. Chilly days and cold

nights. Low pressure bumping into

that cold air in the Pacific

Northwest will extend snow into

California in the next 48 hours,

rain to the south of California

which might trigger localised flash

flooding and perhaps landslide. In

the years, a weather system will

develop, warm air coming out of the

Gulf, firing up those showers as

that system pushes into the

north-east into Thursday. It follows

the line of weather systems recently

which have led to the flooding

sensitivity through the Mississippi

Valley and as you can see, this will

exacerbate things with 50

millimetres of rain to add to the

picture. South Africa has picked up

some intense rainfall through the

early part of this week, parts of

Mozambique and Zimbabwe getting 200

millimetres of rain falling in the

space of 24 hours and some hefty

seasonal showers. Cloud showing up

here on the satellite picture. In

the North, we will have heavy

showers through the middle of the

week. It will beat the likes of

Botswana and Zimbabwe will get the

worst of the weather. Towards the

north-west, some pretty relentless

rain on the way. If we dressed up

towards Morocco you will see a

weather front extending in here and

it will be followed by a few

showers. All part of an area of low

pressure and it will come into play

for our European weather story on

Wednesday. You probably already know

that Europe is in the grip of a big

freeze, exceptionally cold weather,

snow reported in Corsica and there

is more wintry weather to come in

the next couple of days. The cold

extends into Italy, Greece and the

north of Spain for Wednesday, our

area of low pressure that is pushing

into Africa will bump into Portugal

and Spain bringing heavy snow across

the Pyrenees and eventually into the

south of France and torrential rain

for Spain and Portugal and strong

and gusty winds. This low will push

further north towards the UK

affecting us at the end of this

week, but take a closer look at how

that works with our UK report in

half an hour.

Hello, this is Outside Source, these

are the main stories.

It could be the red light for diesel

cars in Germany, a court rules that

cities can ban then to protect

people from harmful emissions. Will

other countries follow?

US media reports say President

Trump's son-in-law had close adviser

Jarrod Kushner has lost access to

the most valued US intelligence

report, the President's daily brief.

It comes as the White House imposes

greater discipline on access to

secrets.

It was a pause in name only,

fighting in Eastern Ghouta means

there has been no ceasefire today in

Syria. Everyday, Outside Source

features BBC journalists working

over 30 languages and your questions

are always welcome.

As we mentioned, despite Russia

ordering a humanitarian ceasefire,

the Damascus suburb of Eastern

Ghouta awoke to this.

Syrian government forces carrying

out air strikes, according to a

monitoring group. The proposed five

hour truce scheduled to start at

nine o'clock local time collapsed on

its first day. In fact, some

residents of Eastern Ghouta say it

never started at all.

Right now,

more than five air strikes hit

towns, and the missiles hit the city

and killed two people. Many bombings

right no, after the ceasefire. They

did not stop bombing the buildings

in Eastern Ghouta.

Both sides are

blaming each other for the

unsuccessful ceasefire, Russia,

which backs the Seren Government,

accused rebels of shelling and

evacuation corridor. The rebels have

denied this. A UN spokesman has said

that even if the truce had been

successful, there was not enough

time to bring in medical aid or get

civilians out.

There is not enough

to them at any age or any evacuation

out, the UN in Damascus... They can

tell it will take more than this

because the distance is less than 30

minutes. But to bring the convoy in

and to take all the items out, it

needs much more than five hours.

They need much more time to screen

patients, to talk to workers and

said this area. Five hours is

nothing, definitely. It is not ideal

that the UN Security Council members

are talking about this five hours

truce while the attacks continue for

the rest of the day.

Let's show you

pictures of this crossing between

Damascus and Eastern Ghouta. They

were filmed by Syrian state TV. You

can see the buses parked by the side

of the road, presumably there to

take evacuees away. There are

explosions visible on the distant

skyline. It is not caused -- it's

not clear what caused them or in

whose territory they are located. If

the residents do manage to escape

fighting around their homes, they

may face new dangers in the shelters

and camps in other parts of Syria.

James Landale has uncovered reports

of local Seren officials demanding

sexual favours for the aid supplies

they have been tasked with

distributing. Daniel Spencer says

she was told about this abuse from

someone who had fled to an aid camp

in Jordan.

They were withholding the

aid that had been delivered, and

using these women for sex. So this

was a range of women. Women of

different ages in the group. Some

had experienced it themselves, some

were very distraught host of sexual

exploitation and abuse of women and

girls has been ignored, it's been

known about and it's been ignored

for seven years.

Let's turn to Australia, because a

woman has taken on a wildly popular

anonymous app, accusing it of

facilitating online bullying. It

lets people do this, leave

constructive criticism, as they

collared, on their social media

networks. But anonymously. It was

Ample's most popular on the online

store before it launched, but now

it's been dropped altogether,

because of a campaign launched by

this woman, Catriona Collins, she

was appalled by the messages are

13-year-old daughter was getting,

some of them foul and offensive.

This is some of her petition. You

can see the headline. My doctor was

told to kill herself. Her campaign

has had huge support. -- my daughter

was told. This has been some of the

response online. You've got this

reaction, excellent news. The route

of almost all cyber-bullying is

anonymity. The company denies the

accusations and says while it's

unfortunate, the app should not be

used by teenager. It tells us it is

optimistic about reaching a

favourable understanding with Google

and apple soon. Our correspondent

has been following the story.

It's

an anonymous messaging app, it uses

-- users will sign up and download

it on their mobile phones, than they

are given a page and other users can

read them anonymous -- and leave

them anonymous comments.

It was

designed as an anonymous feedback

app that people might find useful,

but it has a wish they'd been used

by a lot of teenagers, other young

people and some pretty horrible

things being said.

Is seen to be

hugely popular amongst teenagers.

And it has prompted allegations that

it has been used to bully people. As

you can imagine, with anonymous

apps, this one and other ones in the

past have been used to send really

hurtful, really crude and disgusting

comments to users.

And there have

been allegations that these have led

to be but wanting to self harm and

take their own lives as Mac

That's

right. In the past, the apps or

websites have prompted these kinds

of scandals. Interestingly, it was a

petition by one particular

Australian mother who pointed out

the bullying aspect to Sarahah. That

actually managed to get the app

taken off the Ample store. As far as

we know. -- the Ample store. --

apple-macro.

And the BBC have looked

into Sarahah and how it works. What

did you find out?

We did find out it

was quite easy to send anonymous

feedback, that is the point of the

app. By the time we contacted the

CEO, we managed to find that when

messages containing offensive

language were sent, we tested that

mechanism, they were being blocked.

So eight week has happened in the

app to block some of those offensive

messages.

Those of us with teenagers

who see the sort of messages that

they can send our concern, but what

do Sarahah say in their defence? Why

do they say they should exist?

Part

of the thing they say is that

actually most teenagers should not

be using this. Young teenagers

should not be using this. There is a

minimum age of 17. They put the onus

on the parents to enforce this,

which I'm sure parents at there will

realise how difficult it is

sometimes. But then, they also say

they are upping the enforcement of

their rules and doing technical

tweaks to filter out some of those

messages, even messages that are

explicit, they're trying to use what

we, natural language processing to

try and figure out which might be

threatening or harassing.

And I

think Sarahah means the truth in

Arabic?

Honesty.

The fact that it's

been taken off the Ample website and

Google, you can still download it?

It will still continue to function

if used to have it on your phone.

But new users will not be able to

download it.

Well, you can get a lot more on that

aren't on all our top stories on our

website. There is more about that

app story. The investigation and the

interview with Catriona Collins, the

woman who launched the petition and

ended up taking Sarahah of Google

and Apple.

Britain's International trade

secretary Liam Fox has said any form

of customs union with the EU after

Brexit would be a complete sell-out

for the UK. His comments were partly

in response to a policy shift by

this man, Jeremy Corbyn, who said on

Monday he wanted Britain to stay in

a customs union with the EU and that

would allow goods to continue to

move freely without tariffs but

would restrict the ability to do

separate trade deals. The EU is the

UK's single largest trading partner,

accounting for 42% of exports, but

the fox said new opportunities

beckoned.

Our approach should not be

premised on something identifying

how much of our current relationship

we want to keep, but what we need to

prosper in a rapidly changing global

environment. We cannot let the

practices and the patterns of the

past constrain the opportunities of

the future.

But Liam Fox's former

top officials have criticised the

gum and strategy. Sir Martin

Donnelly was permanent secretary in

the Department for International

Trade until last year and here is

what he had to say.

If we look at

where we are now, with fair and

equal access to the very large, rich

EU market, which is nearly half of

our services and goods exports, plus

preferential access to other

markets, which gets us up to around

three fifths of our trade, if you're

going to give that up for the

promise of some bilateral deals with

markets that are much less on to us,

it's like giving up a three course

meal for a packet of crisps. It's

just not equivalent, and we have to

recognise that reality before we

take this decision.

Meanwhile, the

European Union's chief negotiator

Michel Barnier has insisted that any

transition period with Britain must

be limited to a specific duration.

Britain is seeking a transition of

about two years but says it doesn't

want to be restricted to the date

proposed by the EU at the end of

2020. Here is Michel Barnier.

There

are significant points of

disagreement with the UK as to what

we understand by transition, the

conditions for such and the

dimensions of such a transition. For

example, the duration of the

transition. Logically, we wish to

end on the 31st of December 2020 at

the same time as the multi-annual

financial period. The UK it seems

would like to maintain this

duration, which is not possible.

On

Friday, Theresa May is due to give a

speech outlining the Government's

latest thinking on where it was the

relationship with the EU to end up

and she is expected to call for the

ability to diverged from some EU

regulations over time, but she

doesn't have a majority in

Parliament and the EU may not give

her what she wants. Here is Rob

Watson.

It's very difficult to

imagine a Prime Minister being in a

trickier position. Her own party

divided, the country divided,

business is deeply concerned. The

pressure is really on. I think the

pressure is perfect on because what

we are seeing this week, last week,

we will see on Friday, Brexit is

going from being something that was

theoretical, to the rubber really

hitting the road, real decisions

need to be made, deadlines,

decisions are approaching.

It seems plenty of governments want

to gather data on their citizens.

China is doing that but facing

criticism over how the information

is being used. It's being used for

policing in a province in the

Northwest for a gathers information

about their communities. The data is

also apparently being used to crack

down on anyone suspected political

disloyalty. Here is the China

director from Rights Watch with

more.

This is an affirmative which

there are really not enforceable

privacy rights. In fact a great deal

of this data is being gathered

without people even knowing that it

is being gathered or what purpose it

is being used for. And arguably, the

piece of the story that concerns us

the most is that authorities are

using this information to decide

that people are somehow harbouring

views that are suspect and in fact

arbitrarily containing them on the

basis of that determination. Some of

this information is gathered by

local officials, an integrated with

material that the police have

already gathered. Essentially what

the authorities are doing is grading

people to determine whether the

authorities that they are

problematic. We have been

documenting for several months the

establishment of what are

euphemistically known as political

education centres across the

province in western China, for

people are essentially held without

any sort of formal process and

forced to go through proclamations

of their loyalty to the Chinese

government. There are many reports

-- there are not many reports yet

actual physical abuse in these

centres, but there are suggestions

that large numbers of people are

being sent to them with no legal

basis for this whatsoever. It is a

very worrying trend and seeing these

two things merged together I think

should be prompting a lot of

governments and companies to be

asking questions about what the

Chinese authorities are doing. For

anyone who is selling the scanner

technology to China or trying to buy

it from China, about how their gear

is being used. The companies

identified in these documents are

Chinese, but we have bumped up on

other surveillance related issues

against Western -based companies and

we have real questions about whether

they are doing this with the

appropriate due diligence.

We've been falling of elements any

Nigeria school abduction story. It's

more than a week since 110

schoolgirls were taken. This is just

under 300 kilometres away from the

school in Chibok where 200 and sent

to six girls were abducted four

years ago. -- 270 girls. There has

been a tweet from a Nigerian

presidential office saying the

Government has set up a committee to

unravel the circumstances

surrounding the abduction of these

110 students. On yesterday's

programme we heard from a father

whose daughter is still missing.

Here is one of the girls who managed

to get away.

We went through a lot

before we were able to escape. I saw

them with my own eyes. We initially

tried leafing through the school

gate but they blocked cars there so

we were back in school and climbed

over the parent -- over the fence.

But there were three cars outside

and they asked us to get in, saying

they would help us. Some of us went

in and some of us reviews. A gunman

stood by the school gate and kept

firing into the air. But they did

not aim at anyone, just firing into

the air. We went back into school

and jumped over the fence and ran

towards the nearest town. We were

lucky. No matter what security has

been put in place, I honestly don't

think I can go back to the school.

The latest on the Nigerian

schoolgirl abduction.

The former co-chair of the main

Syrian Kurdish movement is on

Turkey's most wanted list, accused

of terror charges including a

bombing of 2016 in Ankara. He was

detained in Prague at the weekend

but the court there released him.

Turkey is not happy with the

decision. It is a spokesman for the

Turkish debited Prime Minister.

This

billing is against international law

and against the European can the

edge and on extradition. This ruling

clearly shows support for terrorist

organisations. And it will have a

negative affect on relations between

Turkey and the Czech Republic.

Here

is a correspondent on how it is

being seen there.

From here is the

former leader and the founder of a

Kurdish Syrian party governing in

northern Syria which Turkey sees as

an extension of the outlawed

militant group in Turkey, which has

reached a decade-long insurgency. So

any Kurdish entity existing across

its borders is a direct threat to

its security. That is why Turkey was

expecting the Czech authorities to

rule for the extradition but this

decision to release him can -- came

as a surprise for the Turkish

authorities. So what will happen

now? After his release, he told

reporters he doesn't know yet where

he would be, but pledged to the

Czech authorities he would remain in

the European Union. Turkey has

warned the Czech authorities that

this decision would have a negative

impact in bilateral relations, but

what kind of impact this would have

what kind of steps Turkey would take

is yet another question that needs

an answer.

A foodbank in Germany has

temporarily stopped accepting new

Mac and customers, favouring only

German citizens instead. It is what

Angela Merkel said about that move.

One should not run services on the

basis of such categorisations but it

also shows the amount of pressure

there is and how many people are

needy. An estimated 1.2 million

asylum seekers enter Germany during

the mike in crisis of 2015 to 2016.

The charity says it helps around

16,000 people in the city of SN.

They say the share of the foreigners

using the foodbank has soared to 75%

in recent years. Here is the head of

the foodbank justifying the

decision.

Firstly, the decision is

temporary. Secondly, we are

temporarily not accepting migrants

because of the proportion of

foreigners among our clients has

risen to 75%. In recent years we

have always had a percentage of

foreigners, about 35 to 40%. The

proportion of migrants in this city

is 23%. So we have always had

significantly more migrants or

foreigners as clients than the

average of the population.

Film director Lewis Gilbert has died

at the age of 97. He is behind James

Bond films like The Spy Who Loved Me

Normal And Moon-mac. He Directed

More Than 40 Films Including Alfie

And Educating Rita. David Sillito

looks back at his life.

When Lewis Gilbert took on James

Bond, he was already a director with

more than 20 forms to his name. He

had directed Orson Welles, Kenneth

Moore and dark warbird, but 007 with

its seemingly and limited budget was

new territory. -- dirk Bogarde.

Have

never been on a film where the staff

has ever come up. If I said today I

want 5000 people flown in from

Tokyo, I'm sure they would be flown

in.

In the 1950s, Lewis Gilbert made

his name with a string of tales of

stiff upper lip wartime British

valour. And then in the 1960s, a

film that helped define a very

different era, Alfie.

My

understanding of women only goes as

far as the pleasure. When it comes

to the pain, and like every other

bloke. I don't want to know.

Onset,

he was easy-going, charming,

unflappable. The child of musical

performance, he spent his life in

show business. And 17 years after

Alfie, he was reunited with Michael

Cain in Educating Rita.

Thought it

was something serious!

After that,

Shirley Valentine.

Now I'm Shirley

Valentine about -- again.

His career

reads like a greatest hits of the

British film industry and it is

certainly some of Mr Bond's greatest

moments.

Lewis Gilbert, who has died at the

age of 97.

Everyone is talking about Black

Panther accepting the imaginary

country -- it is set in the

imaginary country of BRCA1, although

the language is an official one in

South Africa and Zimbabwe. -- the

country of Wakanda. Here are some of

the useful phrases.

I may not be

from Wakanda, but I do speak the

language. What you hear in the film

is my language. It is spoken by just

over 8 million people in South

Africa and was Nelson Mandela's

Hauman. Just in case you find

yourself in Wakanda and you want to

strike up a conversation with Black

Panther, I will teach you a few

phrases. It is one of the few land

which is in the world with clicks in

it. If you want to say hi, how are

you? Let's take it up a notch. Maybe

you want to know what side of the

road to drive on. You would say...

Let's try that again. What side of

the body do you drive on here? -- of

the road. Say you arrive in Wakanda

just in time for the King's swearing

in ceremony and you're dying to a

ten -- to attend, you could ask...

What time is the king's swearing in

ceremony? Firstly, no trip to a

foreign land would be complete

without sampling the local dishes.

If you want to ask what is good to

eat in Wakanda, you could say...

Let's try that again. So hopefully

if you're ever in Wakanda on

holiday, you will know just enough

to stay out of trouble or at least

get yourself out of it!

So now you know how to get by in

Wakanda and in South Africa. Thanks

for watching Outside Source.
