hello, i'm nuala mcgovern, this is outside source. as we go to air, nasa is making an announcement of a new discovery. the space agency says it has found seven ea rth—sized exoplanets. they're located about 39 light years away from the sun. the us secretary of state is heading to mexico. rex tillerson will be meeting with mexico's president on the trip. hong kong's former leader has been sent to prison for bribery charges. we'll get more from helier chung. and amnesty international has released a report warning of divisive politicians who use poisonous rhetoric. the us' top diplomat, rex tillerson, is going to mexico to meet its foreign minister tomorrow. here's the white house press secretary on the state of us—mexico relations at the moment.

i would argue that we'd have a healthy and robust relationship with the mexican government and i think they would a court that sentiment. i think the relationship with mexico is phenomenal. an unbelievable and robust dialogue. the mexican government is less impressed with the trump administration at the moment. yesterday the us unveiled strict new immigration guidelines. they aim to greatly increase the number of undocumented immigrants deported — and also suggest that many of those deported will be sent to mexico. the mexican foreign minister said: "i want to say clearly and emphatically that the government of mexico and the mexican people do not have to accept provisions that one government unilaterally wants to impose on the other. we will not accept it, because there's no reason why we should, and because it is not in the interests of mexico." add this to the fact that the mexican president cancelled a planned trip to the us

in january after president trump tweeted this... "if mexico is unwilling to pay for the badly needed wall, then it would be better to cancel the upcoming meeting" — you can see why this is going to be an interesting trip for mr tillerson. barbara, this is going to be quite a balancing act for rex tillerson? he certainly has his work cut out. the wall, that led to the cancellation of the presidents meeting. and the crackdown on illegal immigrants. none of this has improved the claimant. but rex tillerson, going to try to calm those tensions. going with a head of homeland security,

responsible for the border and they are going to be meeting government ministers and the idea is to try to set up channels of communication, holding talks and then repeat. the system when you would have recurring visits, to try to manage the relationship. both of these men, sober, calm men. that discussion can commence. but i am not sure exactly what that means. the mexicans have said who do we listen to? the white house, or the reassurance from the cabinet officials? nobody clear. rex tillerson has not been in this position for long but he had his inaugural trip to germany. what was the mood that you got from that event? it was interesting. it was almost like meet and greet on speed. he had meetings with 14 different foreign ministers, it was an

official way to get to know a lot of people quickly without having to do a lot of trouble. he tried to throw some balance into the uncertainty, taking a tougher line on russia and repeated boiler plate reassurances for nato. all of that was welcomed. he was greeted as being quite sober, somebody who took policy seriously. but who do we listen to? who has got the power? then british foreign secretary summed up that ambivalence, he said he was happy after meeting rex tillerson, but not least because i have to be. interesting. we talk a lot about the white house, and the state of play with on that. but what about the state department, that other huge institution, how would you describe that, looking closely under rex

tillerson over recent weeks?m that, looking closely under rex tillerson over recent weeks? it is a good question. rex tillerson, the head. and he has been keeping a low profile. at bonn, we were trying to get some comments from him but he was quiet. we have not had briefings for one month, and we used to get them every day. the state department does not have a voice. thatjust adds to the question is, how weight much do they have. but i have met him. he seems to be thoughtful, taking policy seriously, taking this building seriously because by all accou nts building seriously because by all accounts he has consulted widely with experience and be learning from the knowledge. i have been told that he does have regular talks with donald trump as well. it is not clear how this is going to work out but we're still waiting to see over the coming days and weeks how this

is going to work. thank you. and we can stay on another strand of these conversations about rex tillerson being at mexico. many migrants from central america cross the border into the usa in texas — james cook is there, in a town called mcallen. he sent this report. it's rodeo season deep in the heart of texas. this is a state with a proud heritage and tough people. texans will tell you they are god—fearing, cattle rearing, straight talking folk. inside this arena it is strictly apolitical. outside, they do not mince their words. what do you think of the idea of a wall? perfect. why is that? wall it up. we don't need the criminals in here. wall it up. the wall will probably never happen. just because of geography. that simple. there's definitely some security measures that might be put in place that will hopefully help alleviate some of the illegal immigrants. but i agree with him, you know, we need immigration.

most of the time they need water but you do see some carrying fully automatic weapons, and you betterjust keep on going. and some parts of the frontier are easier to cross the others. i'm sitting here on the very edge of the united states, that is mexico just over there. you could be a cross on a couple of minutes. and apart from the river, this wire is the only physical barrier. separating these two countries. but ranchers worry about a barrier slicing through their fertile fields and one republican congressman says that a wall would be the most expensive and least effective way to secure the border. welcome to america. this girl is three years old. she has been on the road from honduras for 13 perilous days with her mother and brother.

like everyone arriving here today, the family say violence and poverty forced them to flee. it was hard because when you are an adult you understand. but babies get scared and they cry. there are parts of the forest where you walk in the dark. and when the police came, my little girl knew she had to hide and stay quiet. the mass here has a latin american rhythm. and the catholic church is making the moral case for immigration reform. but this bishop says a secure border with mexico depends on solving problems elsewhere in honduras, guatemala, and el salvador. people have a right to live in conditions in their own country where they are safe and secure and can provide for their children. and if they do not have those conditions, there is something seriously wrong. the americas are connected and sometimes we do not always realise how profoundly.

these families have made it and are now applying for asylum. but there may soon be another physical barrier to the fulfilment of the american dream. we can turn on now to sport. wayne rooney — he's one of world football's biggest names. he's also a manchester united legend, holding their goal scoring record. but could he be on the move? there are reports the 32 year old is eyeing a move to china. we can speak tojohn. a lot of people wondering, wayne rooney so well paid, but how much could he get? huge amounts. but although

banned the financial benefits, if wayne rooney were to move away from manchester united he is also getting close to the tail end of his career. he wants to play. this season he has only made eight appearances. zlatan ibrahimovic has 29. he wants to be playing and that could be the motivation for a possible move away. we know we have had interest from china, and wayne rooney has had talks. we understand they fell down. the transfer window closes on tuesday next week. we do not believe a potential move is going to happen before that day but by the end of the season it is possible that wayne rooney could move from manchester united. obviously, after 13 years andi united. obviously, after 13 years and i huge amount of silver were that could be huge. china, manilla,

another club, it certainly seems likely that he is going to move. and he was not in the match day squad today. playing in the europa league. they have defeated st etienne, goals from zlatan ibrahimovic and mkhitaryan. the absence of wayne rooney, we do not know why but significant perhaps he was not in the squad. wherever he is, manchester, china, an interesting future. rugby and ballet — not two sports you'd associate with one and other. but as you're about to see — more teams are turning to dancing as a way of preventing injury. the bbc‘sjenny lawrence has this report. the wigan warriors have made dance

classes are regular feature of training for the 16 and 19—year—old stars. when this came about, i did not know. the boys probably thought it was going to be fun. but a lot of american football teams have done this. we get a lot of ankle injuries and this is one we that we are trying to prevent that. so have they enjoyed swapping the rugby boots for ballet? i was shocked and hesitant, but when we were told it was not a joke, we just had tojump in. but when we were told it was not a joke, we just had tojump inm actually gives us a break from rugby when we are training, it is good for your mindset knees. and everybody has noticed that ankle injuries strengthening. despite what a lot of people think, it is tough training. i have never had sore legs leaked after doing this. i am enjoying it.

lam after doing this. i am enjoying it. i am always talking to my sister who does this as well. she has been teaching me things. it is good. and the ballet teacher hopes that more teams will eventually see the benefits. i have been working hard to try to look at how we have been getting injured and what movements we can do. they have been working so hard, and the improvement over such a short time, they are just sportspeople and they to be good at everything including ballet. these future stars will be hoping that can help them dance to success. what do you make of that? we can move to another sport. take a look at this. this is 2a year old brazilianjackson follman. he was one of six people that survived a plane crash last year, that killed almost the entire chapecoense football team. he was recently fitted with a prosthetic leg and has begun the process of learning to walk on it. incredibly two of his team mates that also survived the crash have returned to training,

with the hope of playing later this year. follman too hasn't given up his hopes of returning to the field — with plans for making it to the paralympics. take a listen. when i look at the field, any team playing live, i miss that a lot. it is what i used to do everyday. but you have got a reason for everything. and the truth is that i have got to thank god for giving me a second chance. and just an update. hungary is going to withdraw its bid for the 2024 olympic games. still to come: hong kong's former leader has been sent to prison for bribery charges — we'll get more from helier chung. a serious case review into the murder of an 18

month old girl has found that she was "almost invisible to professionals" after she was taken into the care of the woman who later killed her. keegan downer suffered over 150 injuries. kandyce downer was jailed for life after being convicted of the little girl's murder. amy cole reports. little keegan downer, happy and flourishing but that changed when she went to live with a distant relative who had been awarded a special guardianship order in 2015. just nine months later, she was dead. a serious case review into the death has found that she failed was bya number of death has found that she failed was by a number of agencies, i have visitor only need one visit not long after the change of guardianship. keegan downer did not have any notes

to say that she was effectively adopted and was not seen by any gps after the placements. no more contact made by children social care. that was one of the feelings and we had no expectations to set out that we should do those visits and that has changed. we need ongoing support and part of the consultation needs to be that we are the walking relationship. not some distant relationship. you have got to have an automatic rate without supervision. the initial assessment was carried out by an external agency, not the city council. this is no longer the case. and the report has said that downer was given too much power to control who saw keegan. that is not good enough and cannot happen now. one of the things that has changed and needs to

be insured, that those universal services would absolutely know that this child is on a special guardianship. birmingham city council has said it is taking more steps to safeguard children. has anyone been sacked ? steps to safeguard children. has anyone been sacked? action has been taken to the regulator. those people no longer with us. people have been sacked? yes. no longer with us. people have been sacked ? yes. the no longer with us. people have been sacked? yes. the children services is to be taken over by a new trust later this year. this is outside source live from the bbc newsroom. our lead story is: nasa says it has found four earth—sized exo—planets. they're located about 39 light years away from the sun. human rights group amnesty international has used its annual report to take aim at "divisive" politicians who use "poisonous rhetoric".

the group also says governments are exploiting refugees for political ends. here's amnesty‘s secretary general launching the report in paris today. in 2016 we saw a shocking rise of the politics of fear and hatred. we have politicians across the world dividing society, polarising society, scapegoating minorities and migrants and refugees. and the consequence of this is that you have got the complete freefall for human rights. the report has singled out several leaders. donald trump, holding up divisive politics. and the hungary and prime minister also

named. using "us against them" rhetoric. and the president of turkey, leading a severe crackdown following an attempted coup. freedom of expression deteriorated sharply. also more cases of torture reported in police detention. why would he have been singled out? amnesty international has said that the president of turkey, erdogan, consolidated power throughout the year. and after the state of emergency was declared, that gave the government the authority to run the government the authority to run the country with government decrees and asa the country with government decrees and as a result 40,000 people have been detained. political leaders arrested. and 90,000 civil servants,

including argos, detained. and many people believe that these dismissals did not only target certain members but also erdogan‘s openness. russia's supreme court has ruled that this man — opposition activist ildar dadin — should be freed from prison. he was the first person convicted under new laws on protests. he's currently serving a 2.5 year prison sentence. sarah rainsford has more. this was a court hearing on the right to peaceful process. ildar dadin has become a symbol of russia's raw intolerance of dissent. but today, the supreme overturned court his sentence and ordered his release. i am happy. and i hope that

we will call and meet him, and he will be released maybe tomorrow, even today. ildar dadin was well—known for staging packets like this one, against president putin. and then a new law made it a criminal offence and ildar dadin did not stop. it was after these rallies in moscow five years ago that protest rulings were tightened. rhodes had flooded the streets, convinced the russian elections have been rigged. this was the response. after this, lone picketers even routinely rounded up by police. and in december 2015, supporters shouted ‘shame' as ildar dadin was sent to prison. it was seen as a warning.

the activist claimed he was beaten, threatened. the allegations forced his case under an even brighter spotlight, both here and abroad. his sister told me she is happy all of the charges have been dropped. but ildar dadin has already spent over 14 months behind bars. final what he has been through, she says. you cannot undo that. ildar dadin is going to be set free, but the law against him is still in place. hong kong's former leader donald tsang has been sentenced to 20 months in prison for misconduct. the case related to a luxury flat the 72 year old was provided in mainland china while he was chief executive of hong kong, a position he held between 2005 and 2012. helier cheung, asia online reporter, has more. this is the most high—profile

corruption case ever in hong kong, and it is quite a fall from grace for the former leader. surprising? not necessarily. they have a reputation for being independent and make decisions that the current government does not agree with. it is not surprising be worse that i can they were sentencing him to june. thejudge can they were sentencing him to june. the judge said can they were sentencing him to june. thejudge said it can they were sentencing him to june. the judge said it would can they were sentencing him to june. thejudge said it would have been 14 months, but has taken into account contributions to hong kong. misconduct in public office. what does that mean? it relates to the luxury flat that he rented, in southern china. he rented from a major taken from a media company. it was said that he did not do the conflict of interest because he had been approving broadcast licence regulations at the same time. they said that he was clearly preaching misconduct rules. and the public, people who have been watching this,

how has he been seen? he was very popular when he started. he was seen as competent. many people saw him as having hong kong roots because his father was a police officer, eventually getting a knighthood from the british government. some people have been sad to see him going to court. but hong kong also creates itself on a clean reputation and people have been worried about the questions this case has thrown up about the relationship between tycoons and officials. thank you for that. you can follow up on all of those stories that you have watched on the bbc website. from me, for now, bye. batton down the hatches. before we

start talking about the weather, we have got to stop talking about storm doris. it could be troublesome on thursday. disruption and potentially structural damage. the storm is still developing towards the west and complicated meteorology happening. that storm is going to be developing, heading towards our shores and at the united kingdom it is good to be the most intense. some of its winds could cause problems. and also some snow. admittedly, that is going to be across southern and central parts of scotland. that is the only potential that we have. but we have an ample warning from the met office. it looks as though the lowla nds met office. it looks as though the lowlands of scotland could get some of that snow. glasgow, edinburgh, and some of us could be waking up to

some scenes like this. this law is in the north. and north—west england, the north of england, the midlands and also east anglia, and no high winds and we midlands and also east anglia, and no - high winds and we can no warning. high winds and we can concentrate on them. it is great to be stormy, 70, 80 mile gusts. we really get these inland. also potentially going to be causing some problems. trees down. certainly the potential for some problems. trees down. certainly the potentialfor some high problems. trees down. certainly the potential for some high sided vehicles going down, and if ur lottie, some significant structural damage. later on thursday, the worst is going to be across lincolnshire and east anglia. sting in the table. and later on thursday, towards midnight, it is going to pull away

that isobars and we're going to be done with that storm. on friday, the french story for the rest of the country. some outbreaks of rain but it is good to be much calmer. a little on the crusade. temperatures about five or six. and as far as the weekend is concerned, some isobars and that means some blustery conditions. but these are going to be mild winds so we're talking about temperatures about 11 degrees even across the north—east of scotland. and you can see that rain crossing. that put out towards the east and then we have got another weather front coming towards us. this is the second one on sunday. eastern locations getting the best, but for more than ireland and scotland, eventually some green on sunday. changeable weekend. and this is a

look on monday. more low pressure across the atlantic, itjust churning. keeps sending them in our direction. and to be honest not an awful lot more that i can see as far as next week is concerned. it is good to be unsettled, more weather fronts and things could settle towards the end of the week. goodbye. —— going to be. the fiance of a children's author is convicted of murdering her and burying her body in a cesspit. ian stewart had met helen bailey on a website. he drugged herfor weeks before killing her. i'm arresting you on suspicion of the murder of helen bailey. you're joking! the moment ian stewart was arrested for murder and his shocked response. he probably planned it
