hello, i'm ros atkins, this is outside source. we will be distilling the biggest global stories for you across the hourin global stories for you across the hour in the bbc newsroom, starting in italy in a minute. but first... there's renewed pressure on russia over its role in syria. it's coming from a g7 meeting in italy. this is the uk position. "this is your choice. stick with that guy, stick with that tyrant, or work with us to find a better solution." in egypt — funerals have begun for the victims of sunday's attacks by is. a three—month state of emergency is in place. i'll talk to bbc arabic. i've a new report from david shukman on extensive damage i promise you i will be a faithful servant to this great nation. any questions on any of our stories, bbc

os is the hashtag. there is a concerted push to get russia to distance itself from the syrian government. there's a g7 foreign ministers meeting in italy today. this is one of the pictures from earlier. these are some of the other images to come into the bbc newsroom. responding to that chemical attack in syria last week which killed over 70 people. the g7 being canada, france, germany, italy, japan, the uk, and the us. the eu is also present. the ministers are having a series of meetings with one goal — how to exert pressure on russia. this meeting is taking place in lucca. earlier, us secretary of state rex tillerson visited

sant‘anna which is a village where 500 civilians were murdered by nazi forces during world war ii. he had this point to make while there. we remember the events of august 12th, 1944, that occurred here. we rededicate ourselves to holding to account any and all who commit crimes against the innocents, anywhere in the world. all this is in the context of the chemical attack in khan sheikhoun last week — and the us attack on a target a syrian airbase that followed. america says the plane that carried out the chemical attack operated from this base. syria denies it uses chemical weapons. iran and russia both

support the assad regime. they've put out a joint statement: "from now on we will respond with force to any aggressor or any breach of red lines from whoever it is and america knows our ability to respond well." rex tillerson heads to moscow tomorrow to meet his counterpart, sergei lavrov. but the uk's foreign minister boris johnson has opted out of a planned trip to moscow. russia's foreign ministry responded witheringly that this was more proof the uk has no "real influence" over world events. this was mrjohnson‘s side of things.

i think it's very important for the world to provide a united front and the ambiguity of the message and the message we are sending to the russians is very clear. do they want to stick with a toxic regime? do they want to be eternally associated with the guy who gasses his own people? 0r with the guy who gasses his own people? or do they want to work with the americans and the rest of the g7 and indeed, like—minded countries, for a new future for syria? that has got to be a political deal and with the best will in the world, it is the best will in the world, it is the americans who have changed the game by using those cruise missiles. borisjohnson game by using those cruise missiles. boris johnson telling game by using those cruise missiles. borisjohnson telling the bbc the americans have changed the game. james reynolds has been following the meeting from rome. here's his take on what the rest of the g7 will be looking for.

they will be asking pointed questions in private at the working dinner in lucca no doubt of the secretary of state. i think the simple questions they will be asking is this, what is the us strategy in syria? are the air strikes we saw last week simply a one—off? part of a plan? does it have any coordination with the fight against assad and isis? how would it work on the ground ? assad and isis? how would it work on the ground? how might the united states coordinate with russia and iran to make sure their forces aren't targeted by those countries? a lot of questions need to be asked inside the g7 before the g7 may be co mforta ble inside the g7 before the g7 may be comfortable enough to relay a statement to allow rex tillerson to go to moscow with a unified position. we now return to the funerals of the victims of the islamic states attack in egypt. we're just waiting for a report

clear for broadcast. the beijing local government is offering cash rewards for information on foreign spies. this is a statement from city officials. it says the public should help "to slowly construct an iron great wall in combating evil and guarding against spies". they won't be doing this for nothing. beijing residents could earn up to $72,000 by submitting tip—offs. here'sjohn sudworth to explain why these campaigns keep happening. it's too early to say whether this system of rewards will lead to crowds of would—be spy catchers roaming the leafy, well—heeled districts of this city in search of suspicious foreigners. the rewards on offer are certainly substantial enough. up to half a million un,

more than 70,000 us dollars, for information leading to the arrest or apprehension of enemy agents. as a major power, no one doubts china is the target of espionage but however real that threat, there has to be a concern that there is an ulterior motive at work. under the president, china has become increasingly wary of foreign ideas and influence. foreign companies and organisations and academics, they all face increased scrutiny and surveillance. raising this issue, the spectre of streets crawling with foreign spies, helps keep that threat in the forefront of people's minds. china has recently been boosting its national security laws, ostensibly to guard against the actions of foreign governments, but critics have pointed out that the increased

power in the hands of the state can be used to crush domestic dissent as well. john sutton worth, bbc news, beijing. we also heard from several correspondents in italy but next return to egypt. in egypt, a0 people died in sunday's bombing of two coptic churches. the funerals of the victims have begun. and in response, a state of emergency has been declared. troops are being deployed across the country — and arrests can be made without warrants. this report from cairo hasjust come all different kinds of police have been brought in, surrounding the church peer. we have seen evidence of that palm sunday attack, smashed

windows on the ground and a lot of local people still completely distraught about what happened. nevertheless, you can see there is a long line of worshippers queueing up to go into a service which will take place just to go into a service which will take placejust inside the to go into a service which will take place just inside the yard. translation: we don't fear anything, god is with us. terrorism is everywhere. if you are scared, you won't leave the house. we have our kids with us, we don't fear terrorism. and there are muslims who have joined terrorism. and there are muslims who havejoined their terrorism. and there are muslims who have joined their christian neighbours and friends, like this man. what happens, then to make fighting from christians and muslims and they will not and they will never succeed. some friends of mine

killed. sorry. for christians, the days before easter are always very solemn. but here, this has turned into a solemn. but here, this has turned intoa time solemn. but here, this has turned into a time of terrible pain and suffering. rasha qandeel, from bbc arabic. i've been talking to her about the president's critics and whether they accept that the introduction of a state of emergency is justified in these circumstances? critics say it is just these circumstances? critics say it isjust for these circumstances? critics say it is just for the government to calm down public opinion but practically, it won't do anything.” down public opinion but practically, it won't do anything. i would ask about how soldiers deployed around the country helped to take a threat

such as islamic state which is quite difficult to pinpoint? in the coming few weeks, as you go, the army was spread yesterday to help with security forces, the example we can drive the result from is northern sinai. the state of emergency there has been on for three years, unconstitutionally by some critics, but still, the islamic state are still on top of their insurgencies and so were the victims, even among the security forces and army are taken down by the islamic state. so we will see whether it will work or not but taking the example of northern sinai, it actually didn't end the insurgencies. this is one more example of how central the military is to everything in egypt? yes, it's another aspect of this, especially that even with the approval of the parliament, if they

do approve the emergency state, there is only one time that they can extend it for three more months, so the constitutional time should be six months at the second time should be approved by two thirds of the parliament members which is probably going to happen if things don't come to an end. but then what do we expect security wise? politically? there are so many fears this is going to be a continuing circle of the crackdown on ngos and others but still it cannot control isis. the crackdown on ngos and others but still it cannot control isislj the crackdown on ngos and others but still it cannot control isis. i want to talk about islamic state in egypt, we talk about it a lot in the context of syria and iraq, what are its object is in egypt? no one really knows because there is an emergency law being implemented on coverage in sinai which is where they function. so basically, nobody really knows but in the past few

months, we've seem that the coptic egyptians and christians are being targeted wide dunne on a wide scale. the other thing, land, territories, pa rt the other thing, land, territories, part of the main ideology of isis, so what happens in syria and iraq, i think they wish to achieve in egypt as well, whether they succeeded in northern sinai or not, frankly, we don't know because there is no coverage in northern sinai apart from what the army is issuing. in a few minutes, we turn to hungary, which has seen some of its biggest protests in yea rs, which has seen some of its biggest protests in years, over the potential closure of a university. we will hear all about that story in a few minutes time. the funeral of pc keith palmer has

been held at london southwark cathedral. thousands of police officers from across the country lined the route of the procession. our home editor mark eastern —— mark easton has more. at the gates of the palace of westminster, police constable keith palmer's coffin paused, at the very spot where he was killed 19 days ago. the place where, unarmed, he moved towards a man brandishing two knives, where he put himself in harm's way, where he protected parliament to protect our democracy. police officers from every force in the country lined the route. as the cortege headed across the river, police officers paid tribute in the air, on the water and along the route. two of pc palmer's colleagues spoke of the friend they so admired.

we live from the bbc newsroom and our main comes from italy. the g7 meeting in lucca and the countries hoping to put pressure on russia over its role in syria. a russian man has been arrested in spain over attempting to influence the recent us election. he is accused of hacking the computer service linked to the democratic party. the first direct freight train from london to china has left china. it will take i7 china has left china. it will take 17 days to reach china. it will travel more than 12,000 kilometres through europe and russia, crossing seven countries. presumably at some point, it picked up some speed.

and these pictures show the arrest of an australian rapper who went on the run after racking up a $450 bill at a seafood restaurant. he ran into the sea to avoid paying — that plan was always likely to be flawed. sure enough he was caught and appeared in court on monday. neil gorsuch has been sworn in as a us supreme courtjustice. here he is speaking after taking the oath of office. iam humbled. by by the trust placed in me today. i will never forget and to whom this is given, much will be expected and i promise i will do all in my power to bea i promise i will do all in my power to be a faithful server of the constitution and laws of this great nation. thank you. anthony zurcher is lived in washington. it's easy for us to forget thejudicial role washington. it's easy for us to forget the judicial role neil gorsuch will fulfil so what will he

do? he is one of nine supreme court justices and they have an influence in all manners of policy and questions of law throughout the united states. this is a lifetime appointment. he is only 49 years old, he could serve for three decades. there will be legal challenges also to government laws such as laws of abortion, civil rights, health care, environmental law, donald trump's immigration ban, these things all come before the court and their decision is final. when the supreme court issued a ruling, there is no appealing and thatis ruling, there is no appealing and that is the law of the land. probably one of the most powerful people in the united states, more powerful than presidents at times. this is a significant development, here's a conservative replacing a conservative justice and ensuring a conservative justice and ensuring a conservative majority on the supreme court. so we shouldn'tjust see this

asa court. so we shouldn'tjust see this as a political bonus for donald trump but also a very long—term victory for conservatives? absolutely. there was a great deal of concern at the beginning of last year that a liberal majority was going to be established on the supreme court if barack obama had been able to appoint his chosen successor, merrick garland. that is why republicans in the senate blocked merit garland from being seated and also why donald trump won the presidency. there were a lot of republicans and conservatives who we re republicans and conservatives who were not crazy about donald trump but he promised to put someone like neil gorsuch on the court so if angelica roos, hardline conservatives, stuck with trump through the elections. because they wa nted through the elections. because they wanted this supreme court member to be there for a long time. the white house press secretary sean spicer

has been talking in particular about military action in syria. the reason we took action last week has been widely praised, domestically and internationally. when you see what we saw happen in syria, you are instantly moved to ta ke syria, you are instantly moved to take action. further action will definitely be taken by the united states. we continue to urge further... the world community to join us in both stopping the deterrence and proliferation of use of those weapons and further creating a political environment that will result in new leadership. those are very important and go hand in hand. leaving aside the rights

and wrongs of sean spicer‘s analysis right now, it's hard not to be taken aback by how this differs from what president trump said three years ago but also what the trump administration was saying seven days ago. it is a remarkable 180 degrees turn from what i heard on the campaign trail from donald turn from what i heard on the campaign trailfrom donald trump in the past two years which is that the united states can't be america's policeman. shouldn't be the world's policeman, or get involved in international disputes. it would focus on domestic policy and not try to solve all the problems of the world and here you have donald trump and sean spicer saying things like, we have to enforce international laws and try to build a global coalition to try to stop bashar al—assad from killing his own people with not only chemical weapons but he is talking about barrel bombs as well. traditional munitions. that is

a decided change from the type of rhetoric i think we all heard and people came to expect from this administration. he sounded a little uneven and unsure how to express it and soi uneven and unsure how to express it and so i think some of donald trump's supporters will be surprised by this. i'm ros atkins and it is outside source business mix. toyota says it will spend $1.3 billion on a factory in kentucky. we have to see that as pa rt in kentucky. we have to see that as part of a broader plan to invest $10 million in the us and we can't go any further without reminding ourselves of the position of donald trump on these issues. mr trump's supporters would claim

this is a victory for him. let's bring our correspondent in live from new york. is toyota responding to the new environment?” new york. is toyota responding to the new environment? i don't think it's just that the trump supporters that will take this as a victory but mrtrump will as that will take this as a victory but mr trump will as well, seeing that this investment in a factory in kentucky really shows manufacturers like toyota that the economic climate in the united states is good for this kind of investment, especially under his administration. but really is this a victory for the trump administration? this is part of something that was already announced, $10 billion over the next five years to invest in plants. when you look at toyota and this particular plant, it is the largest of their plans anywhere in the world. there, they manufacture cars,

the most made in america car. the reason toyota was going to mexico presumably was to save money. will it have to make more expensive cars in these factories in the us? what they are suggesting is that by investing into better technologies in these plans in the united states, they can make these cars more efficiently and they can also keep more up—to—date with some of the automation we are seeing in terms of trends with regards to car—makers in the us and globally. thank you. let's talk about the boss of ba rclays, jes staley could let's talk about the boss of barclays, jes staley could lose his $1.6 million bonus because uk and us regulators are opening investigations into a whistle—blowing case and howjes staley attempted to find out the identity of the whistle—blower. simonjack has the story. bark is

hired an old friend ofjes staley and after that appointment, letters we re and after that appointment, letters were sent to board members raising questions about the past conduct and personal issues in the background of this person and the nature of his relationship with jes this person and the nature of his relationship withjes staley, asking whether it was appropriate. jes staley said today in a letter that he wrote to ba rclays staff, he thought this was a whistle—blowing but an thought this was a whistle—blowing butan unfair thought this was a whistle—blowing but an unfair personal attack and an attempt to maliciously smear this person. the compliance due to berkeley said, back off, this is somewhere where the chief executive of ba rclays somewhere where the chief executive of barclays should be poking his nose in. he thought he could find out who said that letter and he was incorrect. now the regulators are taking a dim view of it because coming down, having powerful ceos, hunting down potential

whistle—blowers is ta ken hunting down potential whistle—blowers is taken seriously because they are the eyes and ears of the regulators. this is a serious matter. the penalties can be quite severe and they can even disbar people from working in banking. whistle—blowers are much more protective and there is some argument as to whether this was proper whistle—blowing but the regulators will into it. this was a passenger being taken off a united airlines flight. perhaps not the airline's finest hour. shouting passengers on board report saying the airline had put too many people under the flight and when no one volunteered, this is what happened. the airline has said it's investigating, which is the least they could do, frankly. see you in minute. new zealand have been having a

torrid time of it recently, a spell of rain after spell of rain. a lot of rain after spell of rain. a lot of flooding and could be more to come. courtesy of this. this swirling mass of cloud, a tropical cyclone moving across the south west of the pacific. vanuatu and new caledonia had torrential rain and strong winds. potentially of more concern is where this storm is going next. it will weaken but it looks like it could head towards the north island of new zealand. introducing more tropical moisture, bringing yet more tropical moisture, bringing yet more torrential downpours of rain later on this week. look at these pictures, the clear up for the last lot of floods, you can see more heavy rain in this area will not be welcome. we will be keeping a close eye on it over the next few days. northern australia also a breeding ground for tropical storms. this one potentially spinning up into a

tropical cyclone, sliding across the north coast. we are watching a potential other area, development of a tropical storm heading towards the north of queensland over the next few days. a storm system in north america, a different type of one, not a tropical one but downpours and thunderstorms and an active cold front moving its way from texas up towards the great lakes, along this line. if you have travel plans or you know people heading to this part of the world, they could be some travel problems with these vicious downpours. maybe tornadoes. north—west has chillier conditions. warmer to the east. south america, lots of flooding in peru, ecuador, parts of colombia so you can see more heavy rain here in the next few days. we've lost the high temperatures at

home we had over the weekend because this cold front swept in and the same frontal system is now working its way eastwards across europe. this is the forecast for tuesday and noticed some cold north westerly winds behind the front pushing past poland, into western russia. burling, geneva, stuttgart, anywhere to the north, on the cool side. to the south of the weather front, a lot of sunshine and nice warm. the warmest place of all over the next couple of days will be iberia. at home, we are stuck in the teens. more details from matt taylor in half an hour. hello, i'm ros atkins, this is outside source. let's look through some of the main stories here in the bbc newsroom. there's renewed pressure on russia over its role in syria.

it's coming from a g7 meeting in italy. this is the uk position. this is your choice. stick with that quy: this is your choice. stick with that guy, stick with that tyrant or work with us to find a better solution. we've got a new report from david shukman on the great barrier. rising water temperatures have damaged two thirds of the corals there — experts say there is little chance of recovery. lsd and magic mushrooms are illegal class a drugs — but some people in the uk take small amounts as part of their daily routine. we have a special report on what's known as microdosing. when you're doing something that isn't causing any harm to anybody
