0:00:07 > 0:00:13Hello, I'm Ros Atkins, this is Outside Source.
0:00:13 > 0:00:16On yesterday plasma programme we heard Donald Trump say he would tow
0:00:16 > 0:00:20truck -- he would do trade was the loving way. We will get a look of
0:00:20 > 0:00:25what that might be like. The EU says it has a long list of American
0:00:25 > 0:00:29imports that would be hit by Terence if its steel and aluminium are
0:00:29 > 0:00:32targeted by America. The White House says announcement that just that
0:00:32 > 0:00:35will happen will come later in the week.
0:00:35 > 0:00:41The president is being sued by a pawn star over hush money. You
0:00:41 > 0:00:45pay... You heard that read. British police
0:00:45 > 0:00:49say a nerve agent was used in that attempt to murder a former Russian
0:00:49 > 0:00:53spy in the UK. We will have the latest developments.
0:00:53 > 0:00:58Lyse Doucet on the Saudi Crown Prince's visit to the UK and an
0:00:58 > 0:01:02American academic who looked into so-called sonic attacks on US
0:01:02 > 0:01:04diplomats in Cuba.
0:01:19 > 0:01:24Things are getting a little tense between the EU and America. If you
0:01:24 > 0:01:26watched yesterday, you might remember this.
0:01:26 > 0:01:32The European Union has been... Particularly tough with the United
0:01:32 > 0:01:35States. They make it almost impossible for us to do business
0:01:35 > 0:01:37with them.
0:01:37 > 0:01:38Well the EU's responded.
0:01:38 > 0:01:41This is Trade Commissioner Cecilia Malstrom earlier.
0:01:41 > 0:01:44She gave us detail on what will happen if America imposes tariffs
0:01:44 > 0:01:50on steel and aluminium.
0:01:50 > 0:01:52There are a long list of American products that
0:01:52 > 0:01:56can expect tariffs too.
0:01:56 > 0:01:58Blue jeans, motorbikes, whisky, peanut butter -
0:01:58 > 0:02:02also cranberries, orange juice, - on and on it goes.
0:02:02 > 0:02:04Not long after President Trump tweeted - not a direct response -
0:02:05 > 0:02:08but on this issue.
0:02:08 > 0:02:10"From Bush 1 to present, our country has lost more
0:02:10 > 0:02:13than 55,000 factories, 6 million manufacturing jobs
0:02:13 > 0:02:18and accumulated trade deficits of more than $12 trillion.
0:02:18 > 0:02:19Bad policies and leadership.
0:02:19 > 0:02:22Must win again!"
0:02:22 > 0:02:25Big theme of Mr Trump - it's not other countries' fault -
0:02:25 > 0:02:32it's America's for letting it happen.
0:02:32 > 0:02:34A White House spokesperson has confirmed these tariffs are coming
0:02:34 > 0:02:38by the end of this week.
0:02:38 > 0:02:41One interested observer of that will be whoever replaced Gary Cohen,
0:02:41 > 0:02:47who was the President's chief economic advisor.
0:02:47 > 0:02:51He's left the White House - that may not be unrelated
0:02:51 > 0:02:58to the fact that he's very pro-free trade.
0:02:58 > 0:03:04He is not a big enthusiastic Terence. Rash enthusiast of tariffs.
0:03:04 > 0:03:09Here's Jane O'Brien with what we can expect next from the White House.
0:03:09 > 0:03:12We understand Donald Trump is drawing up a memo which will push
0:03:12 > 0:03:16these forward. In practical terms these things take longer and there
0:03:16 > 0:03:21is a question on whether tariffs will be confirmed and go ahead in
0:03:21 > 0:03:25any meaningful fashion. They could be overturned by the World Trade
0:03:25 > 0:03:29Organisation, which happened before when George W Bush, the president
0:03:29 > 0:03:34then, tried to introduce something similar. There is still a lot of
0:03:34 > 0:03:38uncertainty but I think the bigger issue is the political fallout. You
0:03:38 > 0:03:43have a president of the United States going up against his own
0:03:43 > 0:03:46party, for whom free-trade runs in their lifeblood, saying he will
0:03:46 > 0:03:53completely overrides their very stern advice against this and plough
0:03:53 > 0:03:57on regardless. And he is upsetting his allies around the world.But
0:03:57 > 0:04:03probably pleasing quite a lot of the people voting for him?There are
0:04:03 > 0:04:08some states that say they will benefit from this. The fact remains
0:04:08 > 0:04:14that more people are employed in jobs in companies that make things
0:04:14 > 0:04:20from steel than are employed in producing steel. There is even a
0:04:20 > 0:04:27domestic imbalance in this. How that will play out, we will probably see
0:04:27 > 0:04:31in the mid-term elections when lots of Republicans are going up for real
0:04:31 > 0:04:35action, as well as Democrats, some of whom support this.
0:04:35 > 0:04:45We will be covering those midterms and 25 minutes live from Texas.
0:04:45 > 0:04:49As well is threatening to introduce terror the White House seems
0:04:49 > 0:04:53deceptively be trying to renegotiate its Nafta agreement with these
0:04:53 > 0:04:58tariffs factored in. Mexico and Canada are part of this North
0:04:58 > 0:05:02American Free Trade Agreement. President Trump's spokesperson says
0:05:02 > 0:05:06these countries might be exempt from these tariffs. That matters because
0:05:06 > 0:05:09Canada is the biggest importer of steel to the US.
0:05:09 > 0:05:14Let me show you the announcement.We expect the president will sign
0:05:14 > 0:05:21something from the end of the week, there are potential car Reds for
0:05:21 > 0:05:24Canada and Mexico based on national security, possibly other countries
0:05:24 > 0:05:27as well based on that protest.
0:05:27 > 0:05:30It's a measure of the Trump presidency, that when we learn
0:05:30 > 0:05:32the President is being sued by a porn star - it's just
0:05:32 > 0:05:33one of many stories.
0:05:33 > 0:05:36It's alleged that Mr Trump had an affair with Stormy Daniels -
0:05:36 > 0:05:44and she was paid to sign a non-disclosure agreement.
0:05:44 > 0:05:50That is not new.
0:05:50 > 0:05:53But now Stormy Daniels says Mr Trump never signed it, so it's void.
0:05:53 > 0:05:54This is the lawsuit.
0:05:54 > 0:05:57You can find it online if you would like to read the whole thing.
0:05:57 > 0:06:00It says the contract was drawn up during the 2016 election campaign.
0:06:00 > 0:06:03It also alleges that the affair was in 2006, shortly
0:06:03 > 0:06:05after Melania Trump gave birth to Barron Trump.
0:06:05 > 0:06:07We know how much this deal cost.
0:06:07 > 0:06:11Mr Trump's lawyer Michael Cohen confirmed he privately paid
0:06:11 > 0:06:17Stormy Daniels $130,000.
0:06:17 > 0:06:20We also now know that breaking the terms exposes her to $1 million
0:06:20 > 0:06:23in costs for each violation.
0:06:23 > 0:06:31Here's her lawyer on why she's taking action.
0:06:31 > 0:06:36She wants to tell her story, because there is so much misinformation out
0:06:36 > 0:06:42there, so much misinformation that has been spread by Mr Cohn and
0:06:42 > 0:06:46others over the last few weeks on what happened, the circumstances of
0:06:46 > 0:06:50the agreement and the payment, she wants to set the record straight,
0:06:50 > 0:06:53she wants to be heard and she wants to tell the public the true facts of
0:06:53 > 0:06:54what happened.
0:06:54 > 0:06:55Various things to note here.
0:06:55 > 0:06:57One - Mr Trump's lawyer has previously denied
0:06:57 > 0:06:58any affair happened.
0:06:58 > 0:07:00There are also questions over whether the payment
0:07:00 > 0:07:01to Stormy Daniels broke federal law.
0:07:01 > 0:07:10Here's Jane again on where the law falls into this story.
0:07:10 > 0:07:15-- here is Californian Democrat fares. More evidence that candidate
0:07:15 > 0:07:19Donald Trump and Michael current Dutchman who conspired for this. He
0:07:19 > 0:07:23says he has been asking the FBI to investigate.
0:07:23 > 0:07:29Here it is Jane O'Brien again on where the law fits into this story.
0:07:29 > 0:07:33If the payment was made in coordination with the Trump
0:07:33 > 0:07:38campaign, that is against the law. There is also an issue over whether
0:07:38 > 0:07:42or not it may come to the attention of special Counsel Robert Muller,
0:07:42 > 0:07:47who is investigating any possible collusion with Russia. Although this
0:07:47 > 0:07:52is separate, if the situation arises where somebody lies to Mr Mole, that
0:07:52 > 0:07:58could land Mr Trimble, conceivably, in legal jeopardy. There is an irony
0:07:58 > 0:08:02to all this because every indication is that had this been a
0:08:02 > 0:08:05straightforward six scandal, Donald Trump could probably have weathered
0:08:05 > 0:08:10it. But by getting into murky legal grounds, this could put him on far
0:08:10 > 0:08:17more shaky territory, which could be far more politically dangerous for
0:08:17 > 0:08:22him than any alleged affair with a porn star.
0:08:22 > 0:08:25UK Police say a nerve agent was used to poison a Russian
0:08:25 > 0:08:26spy and his daughter.
0:08:26 > 0:08:29This afternoon they said they believe Sergei and Yulia Skripal
0:08:29 > 0:08:32were targeted deliberately.
0:08:32 > 0:08:38Here's a clip from the police briefing.
0:08:38 > 0:08:43This is being treated as a major incident involving attempted murder
0:08:43 > 0:08:50by administration of a nerve agent. As you know, this two people remain
0:08:50 > 0:08:55critically ill in hospital. Sadly, in addition, a police officer who
0:08:55 > 0:08:59was one of the first to attend the scene and respond to the incident is
0:08:59 > 0:09:01now also in a serious condition in hospital.
0:09:01 > 0:09:03Scientists at the Porton Down military research facility have been
0:09:03 > 0:09:05examining the nerve agent that was used.
0:09:05 > 0:09:10Police would not confirm the exact substance they've identified.
0:09:10 > 0:09:15Here's chemical weapons expert Professor Alastair Hay.
0:09:15 > 0:09:22It is a fascinating clip from an interview he did on the BBC.
0:09:22 > 0:09:25I think the doctors probably had some guidance, given the signs the
0:09:25 > 0:09:29individuals would have displayed, the laboratory saying it was a nerve
0:09:29 > 0:09:32agent allows the doctors to administer some very specific
0:09:32 > 0:09:36treatment. There are treatment protocols for this type of chemical.
0:09:36 > 0:09:41Nerve agents belong to a family of chemicals called organophosphates,
0:09:41 > 0:09:46which vary enormously in how toxic they are. The nerve agents are at an
0:09:46 > 0:09:50extreme end of the organophosphate family. They only have one purpose,
0:09:50 > 0:09:56that is to kill people. That is what they were designed to do. They were
0:09:56 > 0:09:57designed to be used in warfare.
0:09:57 > 0:09:59This CCTV footage has just been released.
0:09:59 > 0:10:02It shows Sergei Skripal buying a bottle of milk in a corner shop
0:10:02 > 0:10:04in the city where he lived.
0:10:04 > 0:10:06We think this is from February but it's the clearest
0:10:06 > 0:10:14recent image we have.
0:10:14 > 0:10:23Tom Symonds is at the scene where the pair were found in Salisbury.
0:10:23 > 0:10:28This is his latest update.As we heard from the statement, it is not
0:10:28 > 0:10:33just the two people who are in hospital, a police officer is in
0:10:33 > 0:10:38hospital, we understand in a serious condition. And before that several
0:10:38 > 0:10:42of emergency service workers had to be admitted to be looked at. This
0:10:42 > 0:10:47all took place in the area behind me. The tent covers the bench on
0:10:47 > 0:10:51which the couple, the pair, were sitting when this attempt on their
0:10:51 > 0:10:57lives, as the police now believe it was, took place. It will be a very
0:10:57 > 0:11:01complicated investigation. There are plenty of conflicting accounts of
0:11:01 > 0:11:05what the Skripals were doing on Sunday afternoon. They had lunch in
0:11:05 > 0:11:09a pizza restaurant not far away, which is cordoned off tonight and
0:11:09 > 0:11:13has been the centre of its own emergency scare today. It is thought
0:11:13 > 0:11:22they had a drink at a bar not far away in that direction. Police will
0:11:22 > 0:11:24be gathering CCTV, talking to the staff in those two locations and
0:11:24 > 0:11:28trying to piece together what they were doing and who might have been
0:11:28 > 0:11:31watching, following them and attempting to use this fairly
0:11:31 > 0:11:35terrifying weapon against them. Next, the latest Brexit update.
0:11:35 > 0:11:38We have the EU's draft guidelines for negotiating its relationship
0:11:38 > 0:11:39with the UK after Brexit.
0:11:39 > 0:11:44Here they are - six pages of them, if you're keen.
0:11:44 > 0:11:45You can find them online.
0:11:45 > 0:11:48Donald Tusk is one of the most senior figures in the EU -
0:11:48 > 0:11:51he said the EU "does not want to build a wall,"
0:11:51 > 0:11:53but that Brexit means "we will be drifting apart".
0:11:53 > 0:11:57Here's more of what we heard.
0:11:57 > 0:12:00Our agreement will not make trade between the UK and the EU
0:12:00 > 0:12:05frictionless or smoother.
0:12:05 > 0:12:10It will make it more complicated and costly for all of us.
0:12:10 > 0:12:14This is the essence of Brexit.
0:12:14 > 0:12:16A pick and mix approach for a non-member state
0:12:16 > 0:12:20is out of the question.
0:12:20 > 0:12:22We are not going to sacrifice these principles, it's simply
0:12:22 > 0:12:26not in our interest.
0:12:26 > 0:12:33The words have changed.
0:12:33 > 0:12:35The message is the same.
0:12:35 > 0:12:37There Mr Tusk talked about a pick and mix approach -
0:12:37 > 0:12:40just another way of saying no cherry picking, no having your
0:12:40 > 0:12:41cake and eating it.
0:12:41 > 0:12:45It has been the same message since the day the UK voted out of the EU.
0:12:45 > 0:12:48Either way, the UK continues to stress it wants what it
0:12:48 > 0:12:49calls a bespoke deal.
0:12:49 > 0:12:51Today the Chancellor, Philip Hammond, made the case that
0:12:51 > 0:12:54financial services need to be in a free trade agreement.
0:12:54 > 0:12:59That is not Philip Hammond, but this is!
0:12:59 > 0:13:02It's an important sector for the UK.
0:13:02 > 0:13:11Let's listen to Chris Morris from BBC Reality Check.I Think Generally
0:13:11 > 0:13:16If You Talk To People In The City They Think The Bigger changer is
0:13:16 > 0:13:19that jobs would move to the Far East or New York, you're talking about
0:13:19 > 0:13:24the global financial capitals. I think everyone in the EU knows the
0:13:24 > 0:13:28only global financial capital in Europe is London. I think London
0:13:28 > 0:13:33will survive, come what may. The deregulation was going to destroy
0:13:33 > 0:13:37the city, the fire of London was going to destroy the city! London
0:13:37 > 0:13:40survives, I think London will survive Brexit but I think the
0:13:40 > 0:13:46sobering point for Philip Hammond but he was making the argument that
0:13:46 > 0:13:49financial services can and should be part of a future free-trade
0:13:49 > 0:13:54agreement. The document put out by the EU does not mention financial
0:13:54 > 0:13:59services at all. It is considered ladylike, a nonstarter. If the
0:13:59 > 0:14:03French finance minister was in London yesterday, I went to a speech
0:14:03 > 0:14:05she gave coming he met Philip Hammond and his message was similar
0:14:05 > 0:14:10to that of Donald Tusk, financial services, no. It is a starting
0:14:10 > 0:14:15position, but pretty firm.
0:14:15 > 0:14:19All the information on Brexit you want is available online BBC News.
0:14:19 > 0:14:23Any few moments we will turn our attention to a new theory as to why
0:14:23 > 0:14:27diplomats at the US Embassy in Cuba were saying that when they were at
0:14:27 > 0:14:31home they were suffering with problems with eight years. All to do
0:14:31 > 0:14:41with alleged sonic attacks. -- suffering with with thy ears.

0:15:49 > 0:15:52Our lead story is the EU says it has a long list of American imports
0:15:52 > 0:15:55that will be hit by tariffs if its steel and aluminium
0:15:55 > 0:15:56are targeted by the US.
0:15:56 > 0:16:05The White House says that's going to happen this week.
0:16:05 > 0:16:08Some of the main stories from BBC World Service...
0:16:08 > 0:16:11The last rebel-held enclave close to the Syrian capital Damascus has
0:16:11 > 0:16:13come under heavy bombardment amid fresh efforts at the UN
0:16:13 > 0:16:17to stop the fighting.
0:16:17 > 0:16:19At least 20 people are said to have been killed

0:16:25 > 0:16:29a looming day of completely running out of water.
0:16:29 > 0:16:32The city is in the middle of drought and was facing
0:16:32 > 0:16:36what was called Day Zero.
0:16:36 > 0:16:38Due to water saving efforts, that day has been pushed back
0:16:38 > 0:16:40from April to 27th August.
0:16:40 > 0:16:43Lots of you have been watching this video of an orangutan
0:16:43 > 0:16:46in an Indonesia zoo smoking.
0:16:46 > 0:16:51A visitor flicked a cigarette into the enclosure.
0:16:56 > 0:16:59That video was on the BBC news up.
0:16:59 > 0:17:06As you've heard already, Donald Trump's top economic advisor
0:17:06 > 0:17:09-- the drug administration is confirmed by Canada and Mexico might
0:17:09 > 0:17:13be given exemptions from planned tariffs on steel and aluminium. Joe
0:17:13 > 0:17:18Miller is in New York. This has become part of the broader
0:17:18 > 0:17:24negotiations between Canada, Mexico and the US?It has indeed. There was
0:17:24 > 0:17:28a real surprise in Wall Street when Donald Trump appeared to connect
0:17:28 > 0:17:35these tariffs with the Nafta negotiations and talk about how
0:17:35 > 0:17:40there would not be any exemption for Canada or Mexico unless the Nafta
0:17:40 > 0:17:45negotiations went the right way. By donor whether the howls of anguish

0:18:07 > 0:18:11see the harshest version of these tariffs across the board. Now there
0:18:11 > 0:18:14was some relief, perhaps, and exemptions for some of the US
0:18:14 > 0:18:19because my closest trading partners. But Mr Trump is still lining up with
0:18:19 > 0:18:23tariffs that the EU, China, other major players?Yes, and the reason
0:18:23 > 0:18:31for that is the original, I suppose, instinct for imposing these tariffs
0:18:31 > 0:18:36has not gone away. Donald Trump's base, lots of whom were in former
0:18:36 > 0:18:38industrial heartlands, they really called for these tariffs and in the
0:18:38 > 0:18:43short term they will seize on benefit from them. We have seen an
0:18:43 > 0:18:48announcement by US steel, one of the last remaining big US steel
0:18:48 > 0:18:53companies, that it will reopen a plant in Illinois and bring back 500
0:18:53 > 0:18:58employees that it laid off last year. The good news will come to the
0:18:58 > 0:19:02places that Donald Trump wants to please most, that is why he will
0:19:02 > 0:19:08stick to these tariffs. The question is in what form, when we finally see
0:19:08 > 0:19:12what the tariffs look like in detail, will it be the blanket
0:19:12 > 0:19:16across-the-board tariffs or will it be what's on Wall Street call
0:19:16 > 0:19:21sensible exceptions for countries that perhaps the US does not want to
0:19:21 > 0:19:28start a trade war with, like Canada and Mexico?All will be revealed,
0:19:28 > 0:19:33the White House says it will give a statement later on that -- later in
0:19:33 > 0:19:35the week.
0:19:35 > 0:19:37The world's youngest self-made billionaire has told the BBC
0:19:37 > 0:19:39that he believes that President Trump's anti-immigration
0:19:39 > 0:19:41rhetoric is deterring software developers from going to the US.
0:19:41 > 0:19:44John Collison, the 27-year-old Irish co-founder of the payments platform
0:19:44 > 0:19:47Stripe, told us in an exclusive interview that the same may prove
0:19:47 > 0:19:48true for the UK because of Brexit.
0:19:48 > 0:19:51People are less willing to move to the United States, they don't even
0:19:51 > 0:19:54want to enter the bees are processed because of what they perceive to be
0:19:54 > 0:19:59the political climate and how welcoming the country is towards
0:19:59 > 0:20:01immigrants, so I think the perception will make recruitment
0:20:01 > 0:20:06harder and might be more difficult to get people to move.Have you seen
0:20:06 > 0:20:10evidence about?We are seeing the early stages in the US, we worry
0:20:10 > 0:20:14about seeing it in the UK.If recruitment gets harder, people are
0:20:14 > 0:20:20less willing to move to the UK, for example, what is the penalty? What
0:20:20 > 0:20:27happens?The ultimate risk we are talking about is does the UK have a
0:20:27 > 0:20:32vibrant tech sector and Star club -- start-up ecosystem? I think the UK
0:20:32 > 0:20:36will have a tech sector and started the ecosystem, but how successful
0:20:36 > 0:20:42will it be? There are degrees of success we can't talk about. If we
0:20:42 > 0:20:46do it wrong, we might be looking at a lower degree of success.Simon
0:20:46 > 0:20:51Jack was asking the questions.
0:20:51 > 0:20:54Amazon has been forced to admit that it's smart assistant Alexa
0:20:54 > 0:20:56has been playing up - and freaking out its users.
0:20:56 > 0:20:57Here's what's been happening.
0:20:57 > 0:21:00@GavinHightower said "Lying in bed about to fall asleep when Alexa
0:21:00 > 0:21:03on my Amazon Echo Dot lets out a very loud and creepy laugh."
0:21:03 > 0:21:05@Taylorkatelynne said "So my mum and I are just
0:21:05 > 0:21:08sitting in the living room, neither of us said a word
0:21:08 > 0:21:10and our Alexa lit up and laughed for no reason.
0:21:10 > 0:21:12She didn't even say anything, just laughed.
0:21:12 > 0:21:13We unplugged her."
0:21:13 > 0:21:15A user by the name of CaptHandlebar even filmed it.
0:21:15 > 0:21:18Another guy says Sir Alex decided to laugh randomly when I was in the
0:21:18 > 0:21:25kitchen. One user filmed this happening.
0:21:25 > 0:21:44LX LAUGHS. -- ALEXA Laughs. You might remember this story.
0:21:44 > 0:21:47Do you remember a row over alleged sonic attacks on US diplomatic
0:21:47 > 0:21:48staff living in Havana?
0:21:48 > 0:21:50They said they heard strange noises - they developed
0:21:50 > 0:21:52symptoms like dizziness, headaches, hearing loss, nosebleeds,
0:21:52 > 0:21:53they even had trouble walking.
0:21:53 > 0:22:03This happened in one of Cuba's most iconic hotels, the Hotel Nacional.
0:22:06 > 0:22:08You can see it on the satellite here.
0:22:08 > 0:22:12The same thing happened a block away at the Hotel Capri.
0:22:12 > 0:22:16I was going to show you that, it is coming up.
0:22:16 > 0:22:18It also happened inside homes these diplomats were given
0:22:18 > 0:22:19by the Cuban government.
0:22:19 > 0:22:22But there was one place it didn't happen - the US embassy,
0:22:22 > 0:22:29which is seen as secure.
0:22:29 > 0:22:32The map will not let me show you it but it is just across town.
0:22:32 > 0:22:35Well, the US brought some of the staff home -
0:22:35 > 0:22:38it said they've been victims of health attacks.
0:22:38 > 0:22:41There was even speculation some kind of sonic weapon had been used -
0:22:41 > 0:22:43even though it's not clear if sonic weapons exist.
0:22:43 > 0:22:45Basically, it was a mystery.
0:22:45 > 0:22:46This though may be an explanation.
0:22:46 > 0:22:47Recordings were made of the sounds.
0:22:47 > 0:22:50Then a team at the University of Michigan did this -
0:22:50 > 0:22:58they set up an experiment to try and recreate the sounds.
0:22:58 > 0:23:02Working on a hunch that listening devices, bugs to you and me, might
0:23:02 > 0:23:03have been partly to blame.
0:23:03 > 0:23:07Have a listen - and, don't worry, it's not going to do you any harm.
0:23:07 > 0:23:12SONIC FEEDBACK.
0:23:12 > 0:23:15Not very pleasant, is it?
0:23:15 > 0:23:17Imagine hearing that, all the time - not very nice.
0:23:17 > 0:23:20Kevin Fu is the computer scientist who did the research.
0:23:20 > 0:23:26Here he is telling me exactly what causes those sounds.Well, we don't
0:23:26 > 0:23:30know exactly what causes the sounds, but what we do believe is if there
0:23:30 > 0:23:35is ultrasound, the ultrasound in the air can combine to create these
0:23:35 > 0:23:39audible sensations.In terms of what could have happened inside these
0:23:39 > 0:23:46hotels in Cuba, what is your theory? Our working theory is there may have
0:23:46 > 0:23:50been multiple ultrasonic signals that would unintentionally combine
0:23:50 > 0:23:54in the air and produce what we call these audible by-products. You can
0:23:54 > 0:23:59hear things that don't really exist. In terms of what would be needed to
0:23:59 > 0:24:11recreate that, can you explain the different elements?Sure, at least
0:24:11 > 0:24:13one ultrasonic transmitter, transducer. This is an example of
0:24:13 > 0:24:22one. Really, really tiny. It needs to produce a couple of tones. They
0:24:22 > 0:24:26produce in the air to create an audible sensation make humans can
0:24:26 > 0:24:31hear.That would be consistent with the symptoms of these Americans
0:24:31 > 0:24:35experience?It is consistent with what we saw in the news in terms of
0:24:35 > 0:24:38the video and audio. It does not rule out other possibility is that
0:24:38 > 0:24:43make sense to us because it is so simple.Given the Americans were
0:24:43 > 0:24:47pulled out in quite significant numbers, I wonder if they have been
0:24:47 > 0:24:52in touch to talk through your theory?We have provided our results
0:24:52 > 0:24:57of State in the United States, I am sure they are chipping away at some
0:24:57 > 0:25:03of the maths and we will see what they do.Isn't quite uncommon for
0:25:03 > 0:25:08listening devices of one type or another to emit sounds that we're
0:25:08 > 0:25:14not aware of or to interfere other issues in the environment?I do not
0:25:14 > 0:25:18know the answer to that question but I know that one of our graduate
0:25:18 > 0:25:22students and about five minutes was able to create this proof of concept
0:25:22 > 0:25:29eavesdropper that would spirit away information over and ultrasonic
0:25:29 > 0:25:34inaudible channel, but when this channel would have interference from
0:25:34 > 0:25:39a second ultrasonic tone, you would hear noises like you played earlier.
0:25:39 > 0:25:43Thanks to Kevin Fu. After the break, we will hear about a letter that the
0:25:43 > 0:25:47North Koreans have given the South Koreans, and they want it delivered
0:25:47 > 0:25:51to the White House. See you in a minute.
0:26:07 > 0:26:12Welcome to a look at the weather away from the UK. Making headlines,
0:26:12 > 0:26:17the storm that we had across the USA and Canada late last week, this is a
0:26:17 > 0:26:23picture sent from Massachusetts. We were inundated with the rainfall
0:26:23 > 0:26:26amounts comic huge, crashing waves due to the strength of the wind. And
0:26:26 > 0:26:31hot on the hills, the next storm. This linking back into an area of
0:26:31 > 0:26:35low pressure. That has already been giving considerable problems through
0:26:35 > 0:26:40the day, dumping snow fall quite widely. Snow is more an issue on the
0:26:40 > 0:26:44system, 12 to 18 inches forecast before it clears. Though the winds
0:26:44 > 0:26:48are not as strong they are strong enough to blow the snow around.
0:26:48 > 0:26:52Still some severe storms for parts of Florida, and virtually feel
0:26:52 > 0:27:00continues to the end of the working week. Some respite from the rain.
0:27:00 > 0:27:03Not for Orlando, potentially. Another weather system is moving
0:27:03 > 0:27:07further west. Things have moved on but they are bringing in rain, hail
0:27:07 > 0:27:12snow, strong winds and we might see rates for LA. Potential flash
0:27:12 > 0:27:16flooding. Heading into Asia, rather wet weather across southern parts of
0:27:16 > 0:27:21China, into Hong Kong and Taiwan. A really nasty area of low pressure
0:27:21 > 0:27:26blooming across the Korean peninsular and into Japan. --
0:27:26 > 0:27:31low-pressure brewing. Snowfall across the Korean peninsular as that
0:27:31 > 0:27:36system brings northerly air into parts of Japan. After soaking rains,
0:27:36 > 0:27:40expect a real drop in temperature and snow to set in. Tokyo largely
0:27:40 > 0:27:45escaped the snow but it stays unsettled until midweek. Some
0:27:45 > 0:27:48showers around, initially in Beijing. This is the Tropical
0:27:48 > 0:27:53Cyclone Joyce talked about, it is around Vanuatu, it is intensifying.
0:27:53 > 0:27:59At the weekend it promises to bring wet and windy weather to parts of
0:27:59 > 0:28:03New Zealand. A tropical low across the Northern Territories and in the
0:28:03 > 0:28:08desert states, here it could bring some very wet weather indeed, up to
0:28:08 > 0:28:11100 millimetres, causing flash flooding here. Watch for a tropical
0:28:11 > 0:28:15site and in the coming few weeks. A very showery picture. Across
0:28:15 > 0:28:19Europe we have lost the bitter easterly winds that there are still
0:28:19 > 0:28:23warnings avalanches towards the north, heavy rains across parts of
0:28:23 > 0:28:26Turkey and the Balkans and we are watching this massive rain
0:28:26 > 0:28:31approaching the Bay of Biscay, which looks set to be quite a nasty storm
0:28:31 > 0:28:35for Iberia into fronts, pushing weather fronts northwards towards
0:28:35 > 0:28:39the UK, bringing milder weather with it but nevertheless some quite nasty
0:28:39 > 0:28:45stormy weather through the Bay of Biscay. As for here in the UK, we
0:28:45 > 0:28:49will see our fair share of sunshine and showers. A little bit of snow
0:28:49 > 0:28:53over the hills, Ben will have much more in around half an hour.
0:30:07 > 0:30:09Hello, I'm Ros Atkins, this is Outside Source.
0:30:09 > 0:30:12These are the main stories here in the BBC Newsroom.
0:30:12 > 0:30:19The EU says it has a long list of American imports that will be hit
0:30:19 > 0:30:21by tariffs if its steel and aluminium are
0:30:21 > 0:30:22targeted by the US.
0:30:22 > 0:30:28The White House says that's going to happen this week.
0:30:28 > 0:30:31British police say a nerve agent was used in attempted murder a former
0:30:31 > 0:30:37Russian spy in the UK. If you want to get in touch...
0:30:37 > 0:30:42#BBCOS is the hashtag.
0:30:54 > 0:30:55OK, deep breath.
0:30:55 > 0:31:01Let's start out coverage of the US mid-term elections.
0:31:01 > 0:31:04Not for a few months...
0:31:04 > 0:31:08Texas has held the first primaries of the midterm election season.
0:31:08 > 0:31:10In the coming months across the US, voters will vote
0:31:10 > 0:31:18on candidates for this election.
0:31:18 > 0:31:20The mid-terms will decide who controls Congress,
0:31:20 > 0:31:26state legislatures and a number of key governorships.
0:31:26 > 0:31:29If you want detailed analysis, The Washington Post has a good break
0:31:29 > 0:31:32down of today's results.
0:31:32 > 0:31:33A few takeaways...
0:31:33 > 0:31:35A lot more women won in primaries here.
0:31:35 > 0:31:40The turnout of Democratic voters has surged.
0:31:40 > 0:31:49And high-profile Republican Ted Cruz might have a fight on his hands.
0:31:49 > 0:31:54Let's go live to Austin, Texas. Anthony is there for us. You have
0:31:54 > 0:32:01gone home and working!A good combination! Working out quite well!
0:32:01 > 0:32:05A very interesting primary in Texas, Ted Cruz is going to have a
0:32:05 > 0:32:10legitimate opponent, a Democratic member of Congress from El Paso,
0:32:10 > 0:32:15campaigning throughout the state and beat Ted Cruz in fundraising. He is
0:32:15 > 0:32:22no slouch himself. He will be his opponent. It would take a big wave,
0:32:22 > 0:32:25this is a conservative state, but lots of people on a national level
0:32:25 > 0:32:31say this could be the upset, if Democrats are doing as well as
0:32:31 > 0:32:38people think they are, with conventional wisdom at this point.I
0:32:38 > 0:32:43think of Texas being a huge sea of Republicans with a small island of
0:32:43 > 0:32:48Democrats in Austin.What is going on across the state? It is not just
0:32:48 > 0:32:52Austin, Texas. Lots of big cities have become increasingly blue,
0:32:52 > 0:32:57Dallas, San Antonio always democratic, Houston and key
0:32:57 > 0:33:01Congressional races, the House of Representatives races that could
0:33:01 > 0:33:04decide who controls the House of Representatives in November, some of
0:33:04 > 0:33:12the key races are in Texas, there was a district in San Antonio, will
0:33:12 > 0:33:18herd, second term Republican, Hillary Clinton was carried by eight
0:33:18 > 0:33:21percentage points and several Democrats think they have a good
0:33:21 > 0:33:26chance. There is a race in Dallas, and in Houston, and a Democratic
0:33:26 > 0:33:29race in Houston is interesting because it highlights some of the
0:33:29 > 0:33:33divides within the Democratic party, several establishment Democrats
0:33:33 > 0:33:39running for that seat to go against Culbertson, he is at risk, the
0:33:39 > 0:33:43incumbent Republican, but the person in the top two, Lauren Mozer,
0:33:43 > 0:33:47supported by the grassroots Bernie Sanders weighing and the
0:33:47 > 0:33:52Congressional Democrats dropped information harmful to her before
0:33:52 > 0:33:56the election, thinking they could not provide because they think she
0:33:56 > 0:33:59is too liberal to win but she finished in the run-off and could be
0:33:59 > 0:34:04the nominee. That is assorted divide in the Democrats people are worried
0:34:04 > 0:34:07about, are those progressives going to cause trouble in some of these
0:34:07 > 0:34:14races?Congress, as you have explained, the Republicans hold both
0:34:14 > 0:34:17houses of Congress, that makes Donald Trump's life easier but is
0:34:17 > 0:34:20there any possibility in the mid-terms but one of the houses
0:34:20 > 0:34:25could flip?There is a possibility, people look at the House of
0:34:25 > 0:34:30Representatives as the easier task because of the lay of the map in the
0:34:30 > 0:34:34Senate, only a third of Senate seats are up in this year's collections
0:34:34 > 0:34:38and a lot of those are Democrats trying to defend states that Donald
0:34:38 > 0:34:42Trump carried. There are lots of seats were Democrats get eight,
0:34:42 > 0:34:49nine, 10% bump over past years, they could win. Hear in Texas, suburban
0:34:49 > 0:34:54districts, California, Florida, some of the midwest seats are filled to
0:34:54 > 0:34:59Republicans over the past few years, everybody is looking at the House of
0:34:59 > 0:35:01Representatives, the Democrats would have to pick up about 20 seats to
0:35:01 > 0:35:08make this happen but in a wave election like 2006 with the
0:35:08 > 0:35:11Democrats, and in those elections you can see 30 or 40 seat swings.
0:35:11 > 0:35:17Thank you very much. Live from Austin with that incredible blue sky
0:35:17 > 0:35:20early afternoon in Texas!
0:35:20 > 0:35:22Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince, Mohammed bin Salman,
0:35:22 > 0:35:26is meeting Queen Elizabeth today at Buckingham Palace.
0:35:26 > 0:35:34He's in the UK for three days.
0:35:34 > 0:35:47He met Theresa May, there they are at the front of Number 10.
0:35:47 > 0:35:49We've just see this statement from Downing Street that they've
0:35:49 > 0:35:52agreed an ambition for around £65 billion of mutual trade.
0:35:52 > 0:35:57Significant announcement, that will go down well with both parties and
0:35:57 > 0:36:01you may have noticed in London there has been a big PR push.
0:36:01 > 0:36:05These billboards have appeared around London.
0:36:05 > 0:36:08Telling us about Saudi Arabia and Mohammed bin Salman, he is the
0:36:08 > 0:36:11central figure at the moment.
0:36:11 > 0:36:13Now Mohammed bin Salman is behind a major push
0:36:13 > 0:36:14to liberalise the country.
0:36:14 > 0:36:17to be honest, it would have been hard to go in the other direction,
0:36:17 > 0:36:19given how the country's been run.
0:36:19 > 0:36:21He has made significant announcements.
0:36:21 > 0:36:23Women have been allowed to go to football matches,
0:36:23 > 0:36:27they will soon be able to drive and cinemas are opening after a 35
0:36:27 > 0:36:28year ban was lifted in December.
0:36:28 > 0:36:30There's also a huge effort to stop the Saudi economy
0:36:30 > 0:36:33being so oil dependent.
0:36:33 > 0:36:39Let's remember, Mohammed bin Salman is also Defence Minister.
0:36:39 > 0:36:41He's overseeing a foreign policy that includes a significant
0:36:41 > 0:36:44involvement in the conflict in Yemen, both with its use of air
0:36:44 > 0:36:47strikes and a blockade.
0:36:47 > 0:36:50To understand the importance of Saudi Arabia, I spoke
0:36:50 > 0:36:57with our chief international correspondent Lyse Doucet.
0:36:58 > 0:37:04In the Middle East Riyadh is the capital of Capitals, one of the most
0:37:04 > 0:37:08important players in the region and are very close strategic partnership
0:37:08 > 0:37:11with President Trump's administration and very much taking
0:37:11 > 0:37:15the lead whether it comes to intelligence cooperation, but will
0:37:15 > 0:37:21be high on the agenda in talks with Theresa May, but in terms of trying
0:37:21 > 0:37:25to chart a strategy which says Iran is the main risk in the region and
0:37:25 > 0:37:29that plays out in neighbouring Yemen.I would imagine Theresa May's
0:37:29 > 0:37:39priority, what is the one parity for the Saudis?For both it is to say
0:37:39 > 0:37:42this is an important strategic relationship with economic benefits
0:37:42 > 0:37:46for both, the Saudi kingdom has money to invest and they want to
0:37:46 > 0:37:49continue to buy arms from the UK and the UK was to sell arms, were one of

0:38:04 > 0:38:09that we can be very frank. Britain has been putting pressure on Saudi

0:38:13 > 0:38:18the reputational risk is too big and yes, the Houthis are causing
0:38:18 > 0:38:22civilian casualties by indiscriminate bombing but the Saudi
0:38:22 > 0:38:25led coalition bombing is causing the greatest amount of casualties.That
0:38:25 > 0:38:31is why we have protests in London. This big PR push, saying we have
0:38:31 > 0:38:35changed and we are changing and Saudi Arabia is exciting. You meet a

0:38:45 > 0:38:49when it comes to social reform, opening up the economy, undeniably
0:38:49 > 0:38:54it is changing and it is the 32-year-old Crown Prince doing this
0:38:54 > 0:38:59along with his allies and friends, trying to drag the kingdom into the
0:38:59 > 0:39:0421st century. It seems so banal to us that women can drive and you have
0:39:04 > 0:39:09cinemas and women can go to sports stadiums and they can work. But that
0:39:09 > 0:39:12has been denied to Saudi women for so long and that is changing so on

0:39:33 > 0:39:36addiction to oil. It is a mixed picture which is why it is important
0:39:36 > 0:39:40for countries like Britain to talk to the young prince because he is
0:39:40 > 0:39:44going to be there for a long time and he says he wants to reform, his

0:40:13 > 0:40:15She is the third journalist to openly make allegations
0:40:15 > 0:40:23against Leonid Slutsky, who has denied the accusations.
0:40:23 > 0:40:24This is Farida. who has denied the accusations.
0:40:24 > 0:40:27She says that last year, during an interview in his office,
0:40:27 > 0:40:30Slutsky suggested they sleep together.
0:40:30 > 0:40:32He also allegedly stroked her groin area.
0:40:32 > 0:40:36BBC Russian's Nina Nazarova has more.
0:40:36 > 0:40:41According to Farida Rustamova, in March last year when she went to
0:40:41 > 0:40:51check a comment from Leonid Slutsky, according to her words, Mr Slutsky
0:40:51 > 0:40:55unexpectedly change the conversation and offered for her to become his
0:40:55 > 0:41:06lover. When my colleague refused, he told her, drop by my office, I miss
0:41:06 > 0:41:13you and the unexpectedly approached. And then with his open palm, he
0:41:13 > 0:41:17touched her groin area and she protested and he told her not to

0:41:25 > 0:41:26"Well, OK, just a little".
0:41:26 > 0:41:30The story is on BBCRussian.com.
0:41:30 > 0:41:34It reports that the incident was recorded on a dictaphone.
0:41:34 > 0:41:36The BBC has this, but decided not to broadcast the audio.
0:41:36 > 0:41:42Let's hear more from Nina.
0:41:42 > 0:41:48We don't have laws here to cover sexual harassment, improper touching
0:41:48 > 0:41:55and offers other sexual nature. The law here condemns coercion of others
0:41:55 > 0:42:03into acts of a sexual nature, suggesting threats and blackmail so
0:42:03 > 0:42:07for my colleagues and others who have suffered from harassment, there
0:42:07 > 0:42:12is no point in even bothering the police.Every day on the programme

0:42:16 > 0:42:19In Sierra Leone more than 3 million people have been voting
0:42:19 > 0:42:23for a new president and parliament.
0:42:23 > 0:42:25This is President Ernest Bai Koroma he is standing down after serving
0:42:26 > 0:42:30two five-year terms.
0:42:30 > 0:42:32There are now 16 candidates vying for his job.
0:42:32 > 0:42:34Some of the key election issues are...
0:42:34 > 0:42:37The economy, after the price of one of their major exports -
0:42:37 > 0:42:38iron ore - collapsed.
0:42:38 > 0:42:45Also health, after the ebola crisis, and education.
0:42:45 > 0:42:47The BBC's Umaru Fofana has been following the day's
0:42:47 > 0:42:54developments in Freetown.
0:42:54 > 0:43:00Very long queues snaking their way throughout the capital of free time.
0:43:00 > 0:43:05Voters pouring onto the streets, despite the presence of police and
0:43:05 > 0:43:09soldiers and with restrictions on the movement of vehicles. And some
0:43:09 > 0:43:15voters's enthusiasm is reinforced by the desire for basic services.I am
0:43:15 > 0:43:23very excited, it is very good to exercise my rights as a citizen.For
0:43:23 > 0:43:28the first time, we don't want the disappointment from our candidates.
0:43:28 > 0:43:32I expect much from the next leader. They should always try to satisfy
0:43:32 > 0:43:41our needs.Education, social services. Clean water, these are the
0:43:41 > 0:43:51priorities.From these policies. There has been no reports of major
0:43:51 > 0:43:55incidents and the initial reaction from observers gives this a clean
0:43:55 > 0:44:01bill of health, echoed by the Observer group.But we're getting
0:44:01 > 0:44:06from some of our people is they are, we have about 60 observers around
0:44:06 > 0:44:13the country. What they are seeing is encouraging. This is not to say we
0:44:13 > 0:44:19don't expect the odd bump or two along the way but thus far, things
0:44:19 > 0:44:23are encouraging.At this polling station there are complaints the
0:44:23 > 0:44:27process going on inside is pretty slow. People have been standing in
0:44:27 > 0:44:32this queue for more than five hours waiting to cast their ballot but
0:44:32 > 0:44:35they say they will remain patient until they can do just that. The
0:44:35 > 0:44:39results will be announced within one week and if none of the 16
0:44:39 > 0:44:45candidates gets 55% of the vote, the top two will face off in a run-off,
0:44:45 > 0:44:51that second round taking place at the end of March. A horrific story
0:44:51 > 0:44:57from South Africa at... Mendy iguana, a South African try Alan
0:44:57 > 0:45:00sugar triathlete attacked on the way to his early morning training
0:45:00 > 0:45:04session, this happened in Durban. At the time his training partner said
0:45:04 > 0:45:09they were being robbed but the details are even more disturbing, we
0:45:09 > 0:45:14are told he was dragged from the road and I was sure you the account
0:45:14 > 0:45:18of the South African Olympic triathlete, Henry 's Goodman, who
0:45:18 > 0:45:19said...
0:45:29 > 0:45:34There are many other ways of describing this. We are told that
0:45:34 > 0:45:38Gwala has been through surgery. This is Dennis Jackson from South
0:45:38 > 0:45:44Africa's elite athletic programme, with more on his condition.We have
0:45:44 > 0:45:50been waiting all afternoon, there was quite a long surgery, close to
0:45:50 > 0:45:53seven hours, the doctors did say they were going to be meticulous
0:45:53 > 0:45:58about this and give him the best job possible and it seems they have done
0:45:58 > 0:46:03this, they have saved his leg, that was in the most danger of losing. We
0:46:03 > 0:46:08have some good news, which is great. I think it is too soon to say a
0:46:08 > 0:46:16thing about his career prospects. Journey he has had an amazing last
0:46:16 > 0:46:19week, coming to where he is in terms of determination and strength so I
0:46:19 > 0:46:24would not put it past him to come back, this will take some time, this
0:46:24 > 0:46:29has been a massive trauma to him and the news today, tonight, that he is
0:46:29 > 0:46:33coming through the surgery and everything has gone well, I would
0:46:33 > 0:46:36not put it past him for Mhlengi Gwala to rise past this and come
0:46:36 > 0:46:44back.We wish him well. The head of recycling governing body is calling
0:46:44 > 0:46:46for an investigation into Team Sky following the damning report by
0:46:46 > 0:46:50Members of Parliament earlier this week. David Lappartient has told the
0:46:50 > 0:46:54BBC that the findings of enquiry into doping in sport were
0:46:54 > 0:46:58unacceptable and could affect the global credibility of cycling. The
0:46:58 > 0:47:01report accused Team Sky and Sir Bradley Wiggins of having crossed an
0:47:01 > 0:47:07ethical line by using drugs allowed under anti-dumping rules to enhance
0:47:07 > 0:47:09performance instead of just using them for medical purposes. From
0:47:09 > 0:47:18Switzerland, here is Dan Roan. They may be the dominant force in cycling
0:47:18 > 0:47:23but the pressure is on Team Sky. Today they tried to focus on their
0:47:23 > 0:47:27latest race in Italy. But it is the way they have one of the past that
0:47:27 > 0:47:31is under scrutiny. Team Sky have admitted mistakes following this
0:47:31 > 0:47:34week's damning report by a Parliamentary committee but today
0:47:34 > 0:47:37there was powerful figure in the sport told me that was not good
0:47:37 > 0:47:41enough.A mistake is something you have done without attention --
0:47:41 > 0:47:47intention to being wrong. The report is different. It seems like it was
0:47:47 > 0:47:55organised. So it is maybe not a mistake. Which is different. That
0:47:55 > 0:48:01could affect the credibility globally of our support and that is
0:48:01 > 0:48:05why I am concerned.The MPs alleged Sir Bradley Wiggins used asthma
0:48:05 > 0:48:09drugs to boost performance and not just from medical need when he rode
0:48:09 > 0:48:15for Team Sky, acclaim both they and he deny. Do you feel an ethical line
0:48:15 > 0:48:25was crossed, as the MPs suggest?In the report, what I read... When you
0:48:25 > 0:48:34can see that substances were used, not for health problems but to
0:48:34 > 0:48:40increase their performance, then, yes, that is something unacceptable
0:48:40 > 0:48:47for me.If it is not breaking the rules, can it be cheating?If you
0:48:47 > 0:48:56are using substances to increase your performance, I think this is
0:48:56 > 0:49:02exactly what is cheating.Despite the controversy, Sir Dave Brailsford
0:49:02 > 0:49:07remains in charge of Team Sky but the party and told me he wants the
0:49:07 > 0:49:11anti-doping division to launch their own enquiry.I want them to
0:49:11 > 0:49:20investigate and to see if there is any violation of anti-doping rules.
0:49:20 > 0:49:22Britain's top rider, Chris Froome, continues to compete despite an
0:49:22 > 0:49:26adverse drugs test last year and the Team Sky star who defend his title
0:49:26 > 0:49:30in the Tour de France this summer with the case still unresolved.What
0:49:30 > 0:49:34would be the effect of that? That would be a disaster for cycling,
0:49:34 > 0:49:40from a legal point of view he has a right to ride but for our sport that
0:49:40 > 0:49:44could be a disaster.The UCL President once Chris Froome to
0:49:44 > 0:49:48withdraw until either he clears his name or is banned. The road to
0:49:48 > 0:49:56reputational recovery could be a long one. Dan is reporting on this
0:49:56 > 0:50:02story and that is essential, if you are interested on following this on
0:50:02 > 0:50:05Twitter for updates, as he chases further developments...
0:50:05 > 0:50:09We keep learning more about the 48 hour visit by a South Korean
0:50:09 > 0:50:10delegation to North Korea.
0:50:10 > 0:50:12We already knew their two leaders may now meet.
0:50:12 > 0:50:14It's also emerged that the South Koreans were given
0:50:14 > 0:50:21a letter from Kim Jong-Un to the United States.
0:50:21 > 0:50:23That will be delivered to America when officials go
0:50:23 > 0:50:28to Washington next week.
0:50:28 > 0:50:31There have already been indications North Korea may be willing to engage
0:50:31 > 0:50:33with the Trump administration.
0:50:33 > 0:50:38Up until now, Dennis Rodman, retired basketball star,
0:50:38 > 0:50:46is the highest profile American to meet Kim Jong-un.
0:50:46 > 0:50:53Here's Donald Trump yesterday on the idea of a meeting.
0:50:54 > 0:50:59I think that they are sincere but I think they are also sincere because
0:50:59 > 0:51:06the sanctions and what we are doing with respect to North Korea,
0:51:06 > 0:51:10including the great help we have been given from China, and they can
0:51:10 > 0:51:13do more, but I think they have done more than they certainly have done
0:51:13 > 0:51:18for our country before...America has imposed new sections on North
0:51:18 > 0:51:22Korea. That is because it concluded Pyongyang was behind the
0:51:22 > 0:51:25assassination of a half-brother of Kim Jong-nam, you might remember
0:51:25 > 0:51:29this, killed last year by a chemical agent at Kuala Lumpur airport in
0:51:29 > 0:51:38Malaysia. The Russians are not keen on these sanctions. This and...
0:51:38 > 0:51:42TRANSLATION:Other sanctions, although motivated by the situation
0:51:42 > 0:51:45on the Korean peninsula, are being imposed in addition to the existing
0:51:45 > 0:51:50sanctions. Bypassing the UN Security Council. The sanctions are
0:51:50 > 0:51:56illegitimate in our view.We know sections are hurting North Korea,
0:51:56 > 0:52:00and that is why there is scepticism about this new approach from Kim
0:52:00 > 0:52:06Jong-un. This is the assessment of the South Korean President...
0:52:06 > 0:52:10TRANSLATION:I think we're at a very crucial moment regarding the peace
0:52:10 > 0:52:16and the neutralisation of the Korean peninsula. We're only at the
0:52:16 > 0:52:19starting line and it is too early to be optimistic.That was a President,
0:52:19 > 0:52:26he are some other South Koreans. TRANSLATION:Until now North Korea
0:52:26 > 0:52:31has always sought to negotiate when facing hard times. Still, there have
0:52:31 > 0:52:34been so many cases where they would then make a slick move from behind.
0:52:34 > 0:52:38We really should not fall for this again, especially this time.
0:52:38 > 0:52:43Dialogue is Mrs Rae. They need to talk and discuss measures, this is a
0:52:43 > 0:52:49short cut to unification, even if not arrived. -- even if not right
0:52:49 > 0:52:58away.I wonder if you have seen this video already on your phone... It
0:52:58 > 0:52:59has been shared a lot already.
0:52:59 > 0:53:02This is a video of a British diver swimming through a sea
0:53:02 > 0:53:04of plastic rubbish.
0:53:04 > 0:53:07Instead, in this film you see plastic bags,
0:53:07 > 0:53:08straws and other rubbish floating all around.
0:53:08 > 0:53:10And they are a symptom of Indonesia's plastic problem.
0:53:10 > 0:53:13It produces 130,000 tons of plastic waste every day
0:53:13 > 0:53:18and half reaches landfill.
0:53:18 > 0:53:25This film is from Nusa Penida Island in Indonesia -
0:53:25 > 0:53:28this is somewhere where you'll also see manta rays and tropical fish.
0:53:28 > 0:53:38Well, the diver is Rich Horner - he's spoken to the BBC.
0:53:38 > 0:53:43You can see the occasional cloud of this and it comes and go with the
0:53:43 > 0:53:47currents that was horrifying, that I mind. I think all the stuff I have
0:53:47 > 0:53:52seen has been from Indonesia but with the Indonesian Masters current
0:53:52 > 0:53:56we have dominating, it could come from further north, in the north and
0:53:56 > 0:54:05South East of Asia.Every single bottle just collects, they are not
0:54:05 > 0:54:09on the ground for a long and actively ship them back to the plant
0:54:09 > 0:54:14in Bali and they are recycled but general plastic waste, I don't think
0:54:14 > 0:54:19that is collected enough so a lot of people do with that themselves.
0:54:19 > 0:54:23Makes for a grim viewing. A reminder of the lead story, coming from
0:54:23 > 0:54:26Washington, Donald Trump and the White House telling us by the end of
0:54:26 > 0:54:30the week we should have details of the of tariffs the President was to
0:54:30 > 0:54:34introduce on aluminium and steel, the EU has responded by saying if
0:54:34 > 0:54:39you do that, here is a long list of products imported into the European
0:54:39 > 0:54:42Union which can also expect tariffs to be applied. They will have to see
0:54:42 > 0:54:46how that develops. Another story relating to the President is today
0:54:46 > 0:54:52he has been sued by former adult star claiming they had an affair and
0:54:52 > 0:54:59a deal that he signed with her is void. See you tomorrow...
