hello, i'm ros atkins, this is outside source. let's look through some of the main stories here in the bbc newsroom. russia and the west are at loggerheads over who was responsible for the syria chemical attack that left 70 people dead. donald trump has rowed back on comments made by his administration last week — saying this attack may affect us policy on syria. my my attitude towards syria and president assad has changed very much. in the us, we'll look at president trump's week of big diplomacy. monday was egypt, today he hosted the king ofjordan. tomorrow, donald trump will welcome china's president to his luxury resort in florida. we'll look ahead to that. and in sport, jose mourinho has been attacking some of his players, and it's not the first time. criticism of him has also come in. it's a big week of diplomacy

for donald trump. in the last few hours he met withjordan‘s king abdullah ii. that's the two of them with their wives in the oval office. it's a big deal, but it's overshadowed on thursday. china's president xijinping. he is visiting. that will happen at the president's golf resort maralago in florida. he has been plenty of times taking office. it could be awkward. this is a private members club, the new york times is telling us about this man, this businessman who is a staunch critic of the chinese government and also a member at the golf club. he might bump into the leaders. remember this photo?

this was mr trump and japanese pm shinzo abe being briefed after a north korean missile launch. both men were briefed in front of the members of the club. the photo was taken by a member of the resort. unusual environment. rajini vaidyanathan joins us from washington. it is fairto it is fair to say that xi jinping has not done much diplomacy in an environment like this? if we talk about the diplomacy, we remember some of the things that president trump has said about china, as a candidate he said that china was responsible for taking a number of us drops and he accused china of being a currency minute later. he took a phone call from the leader of taiwan's and that is one of the adversaries of china, so when donald trump says it will be an interesting talk they have, you can bet he is

right. some of the things he says he wa nts to right. some of the things he says he wants to do is to riches and he describes as the massive trade deficit us has with china but he needs the help of china on some areas, for example when it comes to helping contain north korea's nuclear ambitions. might they play some golf? i'm not sure. this is an interesting setting. we know president trump likes to play golf when at his club but it is such an interesting setting and effective is there has raised complaints from people in the palm beach area. i have been to maralago and this is a very upmarket area but locals say it cost the taxpayer too much money. the mayor of palm beach county says that local police are having to pay something like $120,000 every day in extra overtime every time the president is there. he has been

there on seven weekends since taking there on seven weekends since taking the presidency so he has come under a lot of criticism because when he goes there is a lot of security that also needs to go into place and we have some of those photos whenever the japanese leader came to the us. there have been concerns about the security, members free to roam around and take photos of the president when at dinner. it used to cost around $100,000 to become a member of maralago and since mr trump became president, that has doubled. you need some serious money to actually get there. out of my range before the high strike! thank you. —— the price hike. we will have coverage of that visit of xi jinping to maralago as it happens. not for the first time jose mourinho is attacking some of his players.

not for the first time, it's raising eyebrows. this time it's luke shaw. by any measure a 21—year—old doing well — he's an england international. already mourinho's questioned his commitment and attitude — and then we got this last night. he had a good performance. it was his body with my brain. i was making every decision for him. and the communication was possible because we we re very communication was possible because we were very close. but i was thinking for him. we went to close, to open, went to press the opponent, i was making every decision. and at this level, we need a fantastic body he has two play football, the

fantastic physical qualities he has, the very good technical ability he has. but he cannot play with my understanding of the game, he must understanding of the game, he must understand and think. bbc sport's trevor sinclair is a former england international. he said... if you were doing that to under 10s it would be embarrassing, never mind a full international. i can't believe what i heard last night. tulsen tollett is at the bbc sport centre. he has got some form? being very harsh? when you look at the situation with bastian schweinsteiger from over a year ago, he had to apologise about the way he treated him. he says he did not wish that he treated him that we and he has gone on to the chicago fire. if you look at luke shaw, 21 years old, double leg fracture, working his way back to full fitness and trying as ha rd back to full fitness and trying as hard as he can and they have the

luxury of playing professional sport andi luxury of playing professional sport and i never once had a manager who publicly spoke about players like that. sir alex ferguson, when he was in charge, he was a subtle master of criticising players if they were winning the game and if they lost, he protected his players. he looked at this in that type of man management, behind closed doors. i'm not sure what mourinho is getting at, he has had issues in the past and chelsea he had those issues off the field so this is a very harsh way of looking at luke shaw. at some point this might come back to bite him. thank you for that. four months ago, almost every player from the brazilian side chapecoense was killed in a plane crash in colombia. they were travelling to play colombia's atletico nacional in the final of the copa sud americana. on tuesday the two teams finally played each other. bbc brasil‘s pablo uchoa reports.

i'm warm welcome to rivals, something rarely seen in football, but these teams have been brought together. after a plane crash last year, together. after a plane crash last yea r, atletico together. after a plane crash last year, atletico nacional awarded chapecoense the copa, although the final was never played. it was the biggest prize they have everyone. this time it was atletico nacional who got the hero's welcome as they arrived in the city to face their rivals. translation: we are sporting chapecoense and atletico nacional, we are one family, this is a party. on the pitch, i returned with four yellow cards awarded. both sides doing their best to win with atletico nacional scoring this stunning equaliser. there was a fairy tale ending for chapecoense

with the winning goal near the end ofan with the winning goal near the end of an emotional match. the second leg will be in colombia next month, a trip that will bring back difficult memories for chapecoense fans. if you're a fan of nick kyrgios — i appreciate quite a few people don't fall into that category — but if you are, he's selling his car on facebook. it's a bmw. one owner, meticulously cared for, regularly serviced, only 16,000 km, near new tyres, bone leather interior. i repeat — bone leather interior. doesn't say what he wants for it. but he does say you can inbox him if your interested. you know where to find him, on facebook. if you live in australia, that would help! stay with us. in a couple of minutes we'll look at the trump administration's reaction to north korea's latest ballistic missile test. coming up in a couple of minutes...

a service of hope and reconciliation has been held in westminster abbey — a fortnight after the attack near the houses of parliament. the duke and duchess of cambridge and prince harryjoined families and the emergency services attending the multi—faith service, as our royal correspondent, nicholas witchell, reports. you lot, get undercover now! get undercover! two weeks ago the area around the abbey at westminster was caught up in the chaos of that afternoon. nearby on westminster bridge, there were casualties. closer still, just inside the gates of the houses of parliament, an unarmed police officer was killed. one of the four innocent people who died that day. gunshots. two weeks after those events at westminster abbey, a service symbolising hope. leaders of the different faith

communities from across the united kingdom werejoined in the congregation by the duke and duchess of cambridge and prince harry, together with members of the emergency services, some of the bereaved families, and some of those who were injured. candles were lit to represent the light which can never be extinguished by the darkness of terror. in his address, the dean of westminster recalled that amongst those who were directly affected by the attack were people from britain and 12 other nations. he posed the question so many have asked. why? what could possibly motivate a man to hire a car and take it from birmingham to brighton, to london, and then drive it fast at people he'd never met, couldn't possibly know, against whom he had no personal grudge, no reason to hate them. prayers were offered

pledging respect between different communities. the best of muslims is the one who utters beautiful words. who does virtuous deeds. two weeks after the westminster attack, from an ancient abbey which has borne witness to so much, a message of hope. nicholas witchell, bbc news. this is outside source live from the bbc newsroom. our lead story is... russia and the west have clashed over who is responsible for a deadly gas attack in syria which left 70 people dead. president trump has condemned the attack and says his attitude towards president assad has changed. north korea has test—fired

a medium—range ballistic missile. it did so from an eastern port called sinpo. south korea's defence ministry said it flew about 60km. now bear in mind that on thursday donald trump meets the chinese president. also bear in mind this is in a financial times interview. donald trump said that if china didn't do something about north korea, america would. this is the state department's statement on this most recent test. if it looks short, that's because it is. this is the full statement. "north korea launched yet another intermediate range ballistic missile. the united states has spoken enough about north korea. we have no further comment." earlier i spoke withjenny town from john hopkins university. i asked her what she made of the state department's response. it was a very disappointing

statement coming from the state department, it lacked clear messages, any clear direction and any messages, any clear direction and a ny clear messages, any clear direction and any clear leadership on this issue and it is indicative of the foreign policy statements coming aren't throughout this administration. they tend to be very ambiguous, inconsistent and open to wide interpretation. which causes more anxiety at these times and more anxiety at these times and more anxiety than necessary, especially when tensions are already high. given how many times america has had to condemn north korea for actions like this, is a law of diminishing returns ? like this, is a law of diminishing returns? visit more fitting to consider a more public approach? yes, to some degree, but this was much too short and brief. there

still has to be condemnation and the leadership and there has to be some consistency in what is said and that is what is lacking right now. in terms of the missile test and what it told us about the capabilities of north korea, what did we learn? it told us about the capabilities of north korea, what did we [earmm is early to tell. there are conflicting stories as to what the missile was, exactly, and in order to tell from a technical standpoint, but this is a clear signal from north korea that they are continuing to move forward with their wmd development programme and this is an issue that needs to be addressed. assuming the americans and chinese fashion a joint response when they meet tomorrow and friday, what do you think that should be? ideally, this will come down to a mixture of possibilities, including further

sanctions and bolstering of defences but there has to be some diplomatic track and dramatic off ramp to get us track and dramatic off ramp to get us away from the situation and had this ina us away from the situation and had this in a different direction, before this gets out of control. last night in france there was the latest presidential debate. here's some of it. all 11 candidates took part. as she would have expected, the right—wing national front leader, marine le pen, was attacked from all sides over her views on europe. translation: i want to give the people their voice back, i want the french people to get their money back. i want to straighten france out again and to do it i have a manifesto that's clear and precise. i'm not vague or dishonest. i would like to tell the french people that voting to really take back power is the only tactical vote that counts. what i'm offering is a real, radical alternative. the total renewal of our political

life, with new faces, new practices. because i believe we can overcome modern problems, we have the means to do it. and i want to get back the optimism of the french people, it can't go on like this. over the next ten years my objective is to make our country europe's greatest power. a power whose economic, scientific and cultural energy should astound the world. you need strength to be the president of france. i have that strength and i'm ready to put it at the service of the french people. the first round of voting is on the 23rd of april. marine le pen is polling well enough to win that. but not to win the second round, at the moment. and there are some interesting distinctions between her support and the support we saw for outsider causes like brexit and donald trump. these are voting intentions by age. marine le pen performing very well

here. you can see young people are overwhelmingly behind marine le pen. at the radical end of this movement are groups roughly equivalent of the american alt—right. and what's striking is how effective they are online. these are page views to french political websites in february this year. the dark blue are described as far right. they are easily the most visited. the sites for political candidates are far lower. i'm joined by bbc news journalist, henri astier. he has written a long article about the right france. to accept comparisons that are helpful or is this a distinct movement? there are

comparisons, all of these themes you could see in the american vote and in the brexit vote, mistrust against the elite, opposition to mass immigration, a sense that we want to return to traditional values and this is french land. this is what this is french land. this is what this alt—right stands for. it goes even beyond the fringe movement, it resonates among many, many sectors of the electorate, even the left. is this new? it is not new, this rationalist, patriotic movement started in france before it spread to other european countries, as far back as around 2000. all of those websites began about ten or 12 years ago and one of the reasons why they are so big online, why alt—right is so big, is that these views have

been shunned by the establishment and the media. you do not have in france the equivalent of the press, maybe borderline xenophobic or against mass immigration or politically incorrect tabloids or against the eu, you do not have that in france in the mainstream. if you hold those views, you have to go online. do the aspire to making marine le pen president? is that their goal? that is interesting, there is a large sector of these fringe groups that are quite wary of marine le pen because recently she has gone more mainstream, appealing to the left—wing vote, so they are trying to hold her to this hardline position but what they will try to do is to get people to vote for her. a couple of weeks ago we were in the

netherland ‘s covering the election and it was possible to see how the had influenced the agenda of main politicians. is the alt—right impacting across the spectrum? politicians. is the alt—right impacting across the spectrum7m is, it is so young. as you could see in that graph, almost 40% of under 30s are going to vote for marine le pen and beyond that, you have many people on the left, on the hard left, people voting in the first round, the equivalent ofjeremy corbyn, even further to the left, and assuming he is not there in the second round, it is reckoned that 50% of his voters will not vote for the mainstream candidate and many will vote for marine le pen because she is eurosceptic, she speaks for the people as well. it is the extremes meeting. very interesting.

thank you for that. and you can get his analysis on the bbc website on just those subjects. back to america... ivanka trump's given her first interview alone since her father became president. she's now formerly called an assistant to the president and she's been present in a number of high profile meetings. japan pm shinzo abe, german chancellor angela merkel. canada's pm, justin trudeau. last week her role ws made official — assistant to the president. now she has given herfirst interview to cbs. you say you are your father ‘s daughter and you have critics, but people say, where is she on planned parenthood and gay rights? on the rights of women and climate change? it is like you are being held personally accountable for not speaking up. what do you say? i

would say not to conflate a lack of public denouncement with silence. i think there are multiple ways to have your voice heard. in some cases it is through protest and going onto the nightly news talking about or denouncing every issue on which you disagree, at other times it is quietly and correctly and candidly. where i disagree with my father, he knows that and i will express myself with total candour. where i agree, i fully leaned in and support the agenda and hope that i can be an asset to him. and make a positive impact. but i respect the fact that he always listens. this is how he was in business, how he is as the president. what are the issues that ivanka trump champions? she was pressed on this and this is the answer. for me, this is not about

promoting my viewpoint, i was not elected by the people to be president, my father will do a tremendousjob. and i want to help them. but i do not think it will make mea them. but i do not think it will make me a more effective advocate to co nsta ntly make me a more effective advocate to constantly articulate every issue publicly where i disagree. and that is ok, i will take hits from some critics who say that i should take to the street. and others will, in the long—term, respect where i have got things done. but i think most of the impact i have over time, most people will not actually know about that. time is up. thanks for watching. goodbye. at one point in the weather for the

week ahead we will go from the summer warmth to some late winter snow. before that, things are quiet, not straightforward because there is a lot of cloud in the forecast through thursday but it will be thin and how many breaks, that is difficult, breaks more likely with sunshine across north—east england and when the wind stronger across scotla nd and when the wind stronger across scotland that will bring differences. the west could be cloudy and damp, otherwise it will be dry on thursday and for most of us be dry on thursday and for most of us it will stay dry overnight. weather cloud breaks arrive, parts of wales and the west midlands, maybe the south—west of england, eastern scotland and north east england, it will turn chilly, three degrees or so but otherwise under the cloud around 7 degrees. friday is like deja vu, the best sunshine more likely in eastern scotland and north—east england, lots acquired elsewhere but quite thin so it will be bright and with that range from the atlantic, there might be light

rain and drizzle across the north west of scotland. temperatures possibly up to 13 or 1a degrees. quiet because of the high pressure over the uk but things change into the weekend. the high—pressure migrates into central europe and these weather fronts will approach these weather fronts will approach the north—west of the uk but will also take more of a southerly wind blowing in warmth, particularly with the sunshine. more likely across england and wales. saturday and it is becoming brighter, more sunshine, we don't have the warm air but temperatures will be higher for many parts. and again, it should be fine and dry. as we head into the second half of the weekend, more sunshine across england and wales but for scotla nd across england and wales but for scotland and northern ireland, more cloud and later, this band of rain arriving in the north—west. temperatures will not rise by much for scotland and northern ireland, across england and wales in the sunshine, however, we will see numbers getting as high as 23 in the

south—east. summer warmth. then we go from that into something much colder from monday. but go from that into something much colderfrom monday. but weather front weakens across the uk but instead of southerly, we get a northerly wind. that means you will find sunshine and for many of the southern half of the uk it will be dry bit further north, particularly for scotland, showers and temperatures significantly lower. so much so that over the mountains of scotland, we might have more fresh snow. that cold air will be short lived, on monday we have that northerly airflow across the uk and into tuesday the colder air get shunted away towards scandinavia and things turn milder as we get a westerly wind and that sets us up for the leader of the week, approaching eastern weekend. high—pressure across the southern half of uk, stronger westerly winds, atla nta, half of uk, stronger westerly winds, atlanta, across the north and with that, but only stronger wind but we

could have areas of low pressure close to scotland, threatening something more changeable. north and south for the early part of eastern, more cloud although drier and brighter spells developing by saturday across the north. the binary shifting but generally, further south across the uk, early eastern it looks like back into high—pressure so dry with sunshine but no significant rain for the south—east. tonight at ten: syria and russia face intense criticism following the gas attack which killed at least 70 people. many of the victims in the town in northern syria were children. the americans have blamed the assad regime as the president signalled a change of attitude. i will tell you that it's already happened, that my attitude towards syria and assad has changed very much. at the united nations, the us ambassador went a step further than the president and challenged the russians

for their failure to intervene. how many more children have to die before russia cares? and moscow's suggestion that civilians were poisoned by rebel weapons has been widely rejected. we'll have the latest.
