hello, i'm ros atkins, this is outside source. let's look through some of the main stories here in the bbc newsroom: north korea has told the bbc it's prepared to launch a nuclear strike if the united states decides to attack it. if the us is reckless enough to use military means, it would mean from that very day an all—out war. our nuclear weapons protect us from that threat. president erdogan has dismissed criticisms of turkey's referendum by international monitors. we've been looking at the ambitions of the countries powerful president. in georgia, a seat in congress will be selected tomorrow, and president trump is a key factor in how people are voting. this is a moment we need to stand up and makea this is a moment we need to stand up and make a statement about the kind of politics we want. this whole game has been changed across the country. lam has been changed across the country. i am backing a republican candidate. for the very first time, i am voting democrat. and in outsode source sport, we're looking at brighton football club's promotion to the premier league.

and the latest world surf league event. let's return to the referendum in turkey. this result means president erdogan could be in power until 2029. earlier in his career, mr erdogan said, "democracy is like a bus. when you come to your stop, you get off." evidently, his stop is some way down the road. and even before this result, he was a giant of turkish politics. in 2001, he founded thejustice and development party of the akp, and development party, or the akp, as we often call it. he became prime minister in 2003 and then president in 2014. that was a year after nationwide protests at the alleged authoritarianism of his style of government. there was international condemnation over the government's response to the protests.

then lastjuly, there was the attempted coup, and a widespread crackdown has followed. while all of this has been playing out, turkey has taken in hundreds of thousands of syrian refugees. it's also experienced an increase in terrorist activity, primarily conducted by the islamic state group and kurdish militants. michael daventry is the editor of a turkish newspaper based in london. he talked us through his reaction to the vote. i certainly did not think he would lose istanbul or ankara in the results of the vote so from that point of view, it has been a very surprising night. having this much power has been something he has been dreaming about for the last five, ten years, the style of presidential system is what he wanted and he has got it, at the expense of a very divided country. lots of countries have presidential systems and do not get the kind of criticism heading in his direction, what is it about this type of presidential system

concerning people? this is what the government admits to be a turkish style presidential system and i think the best way to translate that is to call it a system with fewer checks and balances. if parliament today under the current system wa nted today under the current system wanted to investigate a minister or the prime ministerfor wanted to investigate a minister or the prime minister for any wanted to investigate a minister or the prime ministerfor any kind of wrong doing, the investigation and the votes to topple him would take 18 days maximum. under the new system, it would take ten months. so a significantly longer period of time and it will take more mps to support it. that is just one example, but the checks and balances have been drastically reduced in this new system. listening to the critics of recep tayyip erdogan, they call him authoritarian, anti—democratic and other things, is that reasonable when you look at his behaviour in office and as a politician in his career?” behaviour in office and as a politician in his career? i think it is very easy to dismiss recep tayyip erdogan as an autocrat. he is a realist and has been throughout his career. if you look at what he did

ten, 15 years ago, to put turkey on that route towards the european union, he was doing, putting forward policies that would genuinely make life better for turkish people and their living standards went up. in recent times, especially because of domestic issues, that notorious fight with the pennsylvania —based cleric, all those things have suddenly transformed this man into a man who is fighting for the time. and his interpretation of democracy has become 50% plus one and i will ignore the rest of the minority, however large. donald trump has found coming into washington there are obstacles in terms of implementing the policies that he professed to want to do on the campaign trail, do you think those same 01’ campaign trail, do you think those same orsimilar campaign trail, do you think those same or similar obstacles may be in the wake of president erdogan and his ambitions in the coming months? the opposition will be very interesting to watch over the coming days and weeks. this afternoon's report was particularly interesting and it will be interesting to see

whether western countries will adopt the opposition‘s message. i have to say this is the west's moment and they have to decide what they want about turkey. they have two roots, they can decide turkey is a trading partner and a security partner and little else, or they can decide they wa nt to little else, or they can decide they want to back turkish democracy and turkish freedom and stand up for the values they came to stand up for, it has to go one way or the other now because this really is the moment for them. there is a lot of background information on turkey's referendum on mine whenever you want a website —— access it. this is going to make a pretty nice view if you are watching brighton. right at the top. it's taken 3a years, but brighton football club has been promoted from the championship to the premier league. the team beat wigan 2—1 earlier today. and a huddersfield draw 1—1 at derby sealed the deal. brighton player tomer hemed tweeted...

one of the best feelings in the world! i was reading that. are brighton earlier and they have come back from the very depths. disappointment at the very depths. disappointment at the end of last season, they drew with middlesbrough on the last ever game of the season and they missed out on goal difference and finished third in such a strong position. if they win at norwich on friday, they win the championship title, the castle have only won two of their last eight. a roller—coaster ride for the fans and at one point in the 19805, for the fans and at one point in the 1980s, they were at the stage of going out all the league football, so going out all the league football, so the fans are very happy after winning 28 of 43 matches this season and last year, heartbreak when they lost out of the play—offs to sheffield wednesday. this year, it will not be happening. but something interesting from 1983, if you like

your music history, new order and blue monday was out. i guess that is why they call it the blues and elton john and the eurythmics, sweet dreams. there you go, thank you for that! don't go anywhere, i want to talk to about the snooker. the snooker world championships are underway here in the uk. ronnie 0'sullivan is the biggest name in the sport, and at the end of play yesterday, he accused authorities of bullying him. this is the latest in an ongoing disagreement. injanuary, he was sent a letter from the governing body, warning him about his behaviour. he'd publicly criticised a referee, for instance. since that letter, there have been a number of bizarre media interviews, like this one. so how would you reflect on the match as a whole? don't know, really. you seem to take a while to get going. maybe. # may be your guide be the one that

saves me. # and after all, you're my wonderwall. what you think of my lyrics, do you think they are good? yesterday, he gave an emotional press conference. this is some of it. i phoned barrier four weeks ago and said, i i phoned barrier four weeks ago and said, lam i phoned barrier four weeks ago and said, i am done with you and your board of people. i have a good friend who said, just like my lawyers deal with it and i would get involved no more because i'm not being bullied and people doing that to me ever again. i am not and being bullied and people doing that to me everagain. i am not and i being bullied and people doing that to me ever again. i am not and i am fortunate i have a very good friend who has a very good lawyer and they have got my back. ijust want to play, ijust have got my back. ijust want to play, i just want have got my back. ijust want to play, ijust want to have fun. i like barry, but i am not being, i play, ijust want to have fun. i like barry, but i am not being, lam not being intimidated or bullied any more. chairman of world snooker, barry hearn, released a statement saying he takes the matter seriously. and that the accusations are "unfounded".

back to you, this is really the last thing the sport once in the middle of its showpiece. it is, and ronnie 0'sullivan is the biggest attraction on the snooker circuit. this goes back to the masters tournament which 0'sullivan won in january back to the masters tournament which 0'sullivan won injanuary and was sent a disciplinary letter afterwards. wearing at a photographer and abusing a match referee. and barry hearn was quoted, butjason referee. and barry hearn was quoted, but jason ferguson, the referee. and barry hearn was quoted, butjason ferguson, the chairman referee. and barry hearn was quoted, but jason ferguson, the chairman of the world billiards, pool and snooker association, said in terms of bullying it and intimidation, we do not accept that, and he is more than willing to sit down with ronnie 0'sullivan and chat about that. ronnie 0'sullivan plays shaun murphy on sunday at shaun murphy defeated 17—year—old qualifier by 10—8. i can ta ke 17—year—old qualifier by 10—8. i can take you to the crucible theatre now. marco fu has fought

back from 7—1 down against the belgian 22—year—old superstar and back into it. and this is the rest of the action from monday. there has been some results. john higgins 7—2, that moves back to the tables tomorrow. jim mallinder one week was the beaten finalist against world wari the beaten finalist against world war i mark selby last year and is 7-2 war i mark selby last year and is 7—2 against his chinese opponent. and mark allen from northern ireland 8-7 and mark allen from northern ireland 8—7 up againstjimmy robinson. all to play for but the ronnie 0'sullivan story, i have no doubt that will roll album throughout this tournament. and he very much, very interesting tournament and we will have the full coverage throughout the bbc sport website. it was the boston marathon earlier. and as often happens, thousands took part, twe kenyans won.

edna kiplagat, too, the women's race. geoffrey kirui, the men's. great stuff in the wheelchair race too. manuela schar and marcel hug both set new world—best times. the reason it's not a world record is that the course is not an official marathon. it's too downhill and with the possibility of supporting tail—wind. arguably, the story of the day came from 70—year—old kathrine switzer. a legend of the boston race. seen here in training. in 1967, she became the first woman to formally compete. it was a men—only event back then. in this photo, from the boston herald, you can see an official trying to drag her off the track. she refused, and finished the race. as she did today. and as such, she completely changed the face of marathon running. let's show you some of the action from the latest

world surf league event. this is in australia. courtney conlogue, from the united states, won at bells beach. for a second time. after winning, she said she's very honoured and ‘super—stoked'. let's just update you and talk about a couple of stories in a minute. an election in the state of georgia is getting international attention. that's because president trump has become a majorfactor in how people vote. he has been tweeting about it. the democrats are getting a huge amount of funding into georgia and we can hear about this battle for one seat in congress is becoming about a far greater national political issue. in the meantime, the latest in the tensions between north korea and the us. mike pence has been in south

korea and we have heard from the north koreans who have been speaking tojohn sutton with in pyongyang and saying, if you attackers, we will consider using our weapons and we will begin using nuclear weapons if need be. a couple of you asking questions. saying, what can the un do to do with the situation between north korea and the us? the un has already given support to sanctions and that has had limited effects. beyond that, it is not clear what the un can do and donald trump has already made it clear he will go it alone if need be. this question, how does the south korean leadership feel about the tensions between north korea and the us? the americans and the south koreans have been conducting military exercises in the last week, so very much on the same page. and the americans and the same page. and the americans and the south koreans are bringing in a new system which can take out missiles that have been fired, so

the two very much working hand—in—hand. if you have more questions, keep them coming. you will see our e—mail on the screen throughout. this summer, some gcse grades in england are changing, with a*—g being replaced by grades 9—1 — a move that's creating huge uncertainty, according to the teachers‘ union the nasuwt. the government says standards will go up because the content is more rigorous, and that bright pupils will have a better chance to shine. 0ur education editor, bra nwen jeffreys, reports. the new system has more grades and replaces letters with the numbers 9 to 1 — with 9 being the highest grade. it's all change for gcse maths and english this year. numbers, not letters, for grades and new, tougher content for the exams. would that be ok, to do that? so umi is getting extra help from her tutor, something many families can't afford.

even so, she's anxious about the exams. it's quite daunting, because lots of my teachers don't... they've never taught it before, so they're not used to the new syllabus that's coming in. her mum, kelly, is trying to get her head round it all. a grade 4 will be the same as a c 01’ above. a top grade of 9 will be higher than an a*. she doesn't mind the exams‘ content being made harder. but to bring in a new grading system and make the whole exam structure tougher as well means that there's a lot that people have to deal with in a short space of time. teachers have been debating the changes today. their union, nasuwt, says ministers are moving the goalposts. headteachers move goalposts for yourself individually. but i think the government have just taken them away. and we might actually be playing snooker. generally, we are just very, very confused about what these grades actually mean and,

actually, were they even necessary in the first place? in a system where everyone understands a‘ to g, why did we need to move to 9 to 1? it's only england that's making these changes, starting with maths and english this year. wales and northern ireland are sticking with letters. gcses are an important milestone in students' lives... ministers say that's why high standards matter. they insist the new system will be fair, a grade 4, just as good as a grade c. but all that takes some explaining. branwen jeffreys, bbc news. this is 0utside source, live from the bbc newsroom. 0ur lead story is: north korea's deputy foreign minister has told the bbc that pyongyang will continue to test missiles, despite international condemnation, and that an "all—out

war" would result if the us took military action. there is a lot of attention on an election in georgia on tuesday. there's a lot of attention on an election in georgia on tuesday. a seat in congress is the prize. that's because tom price is now donald trump's health secretary. now, this district has been in republican hands since 1979, but they're under pressure. this is a poll of polls in the huffington post. the democratic candidate is polling well — there are 11 republicans competing against him and each other. the president's getting involved. he says the democrats in the georgia

race tomorrow wants to protect criminals, allow legal immigration and raise taxes, which the democrats do not agree with. rajini vaidyanathan‘s in georgia, and this the report she's made. we need more democrats in washington — trump is a disaster. who do you think should win this seat? a republican candidate. for the very first time, i'm voting democrat. the sixth congressional district in georgia has been in republican hands for decades. but democrats think this man can win it back. let's win this on april the 18th! jon 0ssoff is a political adviser turned documentary maker, who's raised more than $8 million in a race which has been dubbed the "make trump furious" campaign. more than anything, i think it would be a win for the thousands of grassroots volunteers who are getting involved in this community — many of whom have never been involved in politics before — who see this as a moment when we need to stand

up and make a statement about the kind of politics we want. there is no limit to the number of candidates standing for a party, and so there are a whopping 18 contenders — 11 are republicans, which could split that pa rty‘s vote. unlike on the democrats' side, where there is a coronation, republicans believe in competition. that competition has seen a number of anti—establishment candidates enter the fray, including businessman bruce lavelle, who is close to president trump. this whole game has been changed, across the country, and you will see... in the next two years, you are going to see that in mayoral races, city council races, statehouse races, congressional races — because people are tired. republicans and democrats have done a horrible job at getting involved with special interests and lobbyists and pay to play. that's the tension now in dc. this crowded field of candidates includes local politicians, business people who have never held office, and democrats trying to fight back. in many ways, this race reflects

politics across america. and that's why it's being watched so closely. in november, donald trump won this district by a tiny margin, after many republican voters deserted the party. the result here could hinge on how they vote this time. i have traditionally been voting republican. i have not really been happy with the trump administration, and i want this as a message against the trump administration. i think more democrats are excited than the republicans this time around, because of what we saw in this last election. i'm backing a republican candidate that i think will do a good job. i don't really care for republicans these days. i'm definitely not a fan of donald trump's. and i'm probably going to vote for the democrat. whatever happens here will send a message across america. could it be the start of the democratic comeback, or will it cement the republican

party onto president trump? patricia murphy is covering this story and she is live from georgia. thank you for your time. do you think this is part of a broader pattern of the nationalisation of local politics? we will find out tomorrow if the pattern is starting. i cannot tell you this race is highly nationalised. every voter i have spoken with the democratic side at least has said this about donald trump. they knowjon 0ssoff and they like him a lot, but the only reason they know anything about him is because of president trump, people have got more involved in politics than they were before. paying more attention. and for votes i have spoken with who plan on voting for jon 0ssoff, they are sending a message to president trump, which is a very unusual thing to hear in a

special election in georgia at this time of year. is this particular system not magnifying the success of the democrats because the republicans do not have one candidate, they have over ten? well, ina way, candidate, they have over ten? well, in a way, republicans are victim of their own success and in georgia they have 11 candidates. probably half a dozen very strong candidates ina half a dozen very strong candidates in a regular year, half a dozen very strong candidates in a regularyear, any half a dozen very strong candidates in a regular year, any number of those republicans could get elected easily in a field of two or three. jon 0ssoff was the only significant democrats step forward and even be willing to run for the seat. typically, democrats in this district to not even bother making a run for it because they think they will lose. jon 0ssoff was one of the few to stand up and say he would run for the seat and try for it. republicans have too many candidates, what is different this year is that there is no leadership infrastructure to tell some of these republicans to sit the race out and focus behind two or three

republicans. jon 0ssoff has almost all democratic voters on his side, but these 11 republicans are splitting the vote, the money and the enthusiasm among themselves and creating a big opportunity for tom price. interesting to hear about the conversations you are having with people who voted for donald trump and how they feel about his performance. i would say that voted for donald trump, until the last week, had been largely satisfied with donald trump. he was going through the list of promises that he made on the campaign trail and delivering on them, whether it comes to abortion restrictions, loosening environmental restrictions, the people who voted for him knew what they were voting for. in the last week or so, it has been a little different in terms of his role in foreign policy and on the international stage. conservative trump voters were expecting a more america first posture and have not been getting lately. i don't know that will affect this race, but the

energy in this race is not among people who voted for trump, but among those who did not vote for trump. in any election, you just wa nt to trump. in any election, you just want to be where the energy is and thatis want to be where the energy is and that is where the democrats are feeling much better than usual in a race like this. it is good of you to make time for us, patricia, thank you and please come back again, patricia murphy. 0ne you and please come back again, patricia murphy. one other detail about georgia, if any of the candidates win 50% or more, they will be going to congress. however, if not of them get 50%, they will be going to a run—off which could see one democratic candidate against one republican candidate, which would make it far harder for the democrats to do well. we shall see how that unfolds and we will have details tomorrow and on wednesday. that is it for today, thank you very much, i will see you next week. the easter weekend panned out as we

expected on the weather front. it is not a write—off, a bit of rain and chilly. this is some snow in the shetland islands. that is how cold the air has been, all the way from the air has been, all the way from the northern climes. there has been good weather as well, clouds and dorset sent in by our weather watcher. the week ahead brings gusty weather especially in the first couple of days, and there will be plenty of sunny spells during the day but the mornings will be nippy. tuesday will be cold first thing across the northern half and in the glens of scotland, first thing on tuesday, it could be minus eight degrees. plenty of sunshine on offer. tuesday looks fine across most of the uk, beautiful weather in the south and east, strong sunshine, and a bit on the cool side. the north west of the uk, thicker cloud and spots of rain. just a very weak weather front in the north—western areas on tuesday night and into wednesday. this is the temperature

first thing on wednesday. this is tuesday night. round about 0 degrees across central parts of the uk and is down to —3 in the far south, the reason why it is so frosty and scotla nd reason why it is so frosty and scotland is there is less cold air from the atlantic. this is wednesday's weather forecast, high pressure in charge across southern pa rt pressure in charge across southern part of the uk, so this is the best of the weather and the best of the sunshine is scattered fairweather cloud. in the north, we have more cloud. in the north, we have more cloud and maybe spots of rain and temperatures not an awful lot of difference between the lowlands of scotla nd difference between the lowlands of scotland and the far south of the uk, 11 or 12, scotland and the far south of the uk, 11 or12, london scotland and the far south of the uk, 11 or 12, london always a bit warmer. in the thursday, high pressure still six around across the south of the uk, so little change and variable cloud. a lot of dry weather and high pressure, lots of dry weather and at most thick cloud. 16 could be the top temperature.

then we will see a change on friday in the north. this line of rain does not look like much on the forecast, but this is a cold front and behind it, we have a rise in cold air which towards the end of the week will be resurgent. high pressure here, low pressure there, and when you get the isobars scraping down from the south, that is where the air is coming from, so almost coming from iceland and the norwegian sea. towards the end of the week yet again, and into the weekend, we will see colder air returning. single figure temperatures from newcastle into double figures, across yorkshire. beyond that, high pressure remains. low pressure is there and isobars from the north. this is the arctic we are talking about, i fetch from the far north so still chilly air, but high pressure is close by. thejet still chilly air, but high pressure is close by. the jet streams from the north so the air is from the north. in this sort of situation, we do not often get a lot of rain so it will be on the cool side, but little

rain on the way. the rain that we do get could come from these small areas of low pressure that could be riding around, to get proper rainfall if you are a gardener, you need blows coming from here into the uk. we do not expect that. high pressure will generally dominate the weather. so it stays cold with frosty nights and at at times, especially across northern areas, it might bea especially across northern areas, it might be a little on the windy side. that is it from me, thanks for watching. this is bbc news. i'm shaun ley. the headlines at 10.00pm: north korea is threatening to carry out weekly missile tests. a senior official says the country is prepared to wage all—out war if the united states uses military force against pyongyang. translation: if the us is reckless enough to use military means it would mean, from that very day, an all—out nuclear war. prince harry has revealed he has
