this is outside source. these are some of the main stories. first of all, the british parliament has voted to hold a general election on june the 8th. voted to hold a general election on june the 8th. the ayes have it, the ayes have it. theresa may is making the election about dexit. jeremy corbyn is asking if she can be trusted on anything. donald trump has ordered a review of the iran nuclear deal. even though iran is meeting all its commitments. we'll be live in washington with our state department. plus, a week ago donald trump boasted of sending an armada to the korean peninsula. we've now found out it never made it that far. and we will hear why demonstrators in venezuela are putting more pressure on president nicolas majuro, with a march they are calling the mother of all protests. and you can get in touch, the

information is on the screen throughout the programme. let's pick up on a story ijust mentioned. donald trump has ordered a review of the iran nuclear deal. we already know what hit thinks of it. in one to eat he called it terrible and he has described it as that and many other terms multiple times. the us secretary of state rex tillerson has just been speaking in the last few minutes, we have had wire copy coming in from reuters, telling us he has said this. america opposes all threats posed by iran, and it is clear there are many. barbara, you were listening to rex tillerson. what did you make of it? it was interesting, he's speaking off the back of a statement he put

out yesterday in which he certified that' out yesterday in which he certified that‘ iran is keeping its commitment to the nuclear deal. he said yes, in that case the iran deal is working. what we heard was a litany of complaints about iran, that it posed a threat in the region, that it was backing militias there and that it has continued testing missile technology, violated un security council resolutions, that it was a state sponsor of terrorism, and so on and so forth. then he said there would be a review of the nuclear deal, which he said only delayed iran becoming a nuclear power, did not end the possibility of it. and he said you could not look at the issue of the nuclear deal without looking at all of the other things as well, which is something the obama administration did, focusing narrowly on this one issue, which is how they were able to get the agreement. rex tillerson saying this

will not be the approach of the trump administration. they will look at all these other things they find troublesome through this review and come up with a response based on that. but he didn‘t suggest in which direction the trump administration would go, on specifics. let's pick up would go, on specifics. let's pick up on that a bit. i‘m listening to all of this and thinking, what is the plan here? the trump administration will know this deal isa administration will know this deal is a multi natural deal, it is going to be in credibly hard to unpick, some say impossible. the americans could pull out of the deal but that would destroy it because there are five other world powers who signed on to it. what they could do instead is just on to it. what they could do instead isjust implement on to it. what they could do instead is just implement it very strictly to the letter, not giving the iranians any leeway at all, and some of the approach is being discussed are perhaps looking at the interpretations of the deal that would allow them to put as much pressure as possible on the revolutionary guards in particular, then alongside that, suggestions in

congress for legislation that would impose new sanctions on iran, not because of its nuclear programme, separate from that, but because of all these other things that rex tillerson just spoke about, support for terrorism, missile tests and so on, which would also increase pressure on iran and perhaps ultimately have the same result in the end of scuppering the deal, especially if iran decides that the americans are not in compliance with the deal. please stay with us, there is another story i want to talk to you about. this was donald trump a week ago. we are sending an armada, very powerful. we have submarines, very powerful. we have submarines, very powerful. we have submarines, very powerful. far more powerful than the aircraft carrier, that i can tell you. the "armada" he mentions is a reference to a us strike group led by the us aircraft carrier carl vinson. here‘s a press release from the us navy three days earlier. it announces that the strike group has been ordered to map sail has been ordered to sail north from singapore

towards the korean peninsula. after that release, but before the president spoke, us secretary of defensejim mattis was asked about that order in a press conference. he replied, "she‘sjust on her way up there because that‘s where we thought it was most prudent to have her at this time." when secretary mattis says "at this time" it was widely taken as reference to increasing tension with north korea. but that strike group didn‘t sail north. a week after the order was made, the warships were nowhere near north korea. in fact, they were sailing through the sunda straight. to the south. we know this the us navy released this photo of the carl vinson in the sunda straight on saturday. it says the warships did training exercises with the australian navy. and that now they are heading north. but barbara, bringing you back in

here, that isn‘t what the president said. no it isn't, and there has been great confusion. when it was announced the strike carrier had been ordered to move north, they didn‘t announce that it would in gaugein didn‘t announce that it would in gauge in these exercises with the australians, but the president jumped onto the conclusion that this was going to happen imminently and that it was in response to tensions in the korean peninsular that were mounting ahead of the weekend, it was thought that the north koreans might have a possible nuclear test. by might have a possible nuclear test. by the end of the week, that was the white house line, that the strike group was being deployed as a show of force and signal of deterrence and so on and so forth, and then it became clear that it wasn‘t even within thousands of miles of the korean waters and would only have been able to get there next week anyway. there has been a remarkable disconnect. it‘s unclear why the pentagon and the navy did not step in to clarify earlier what the actual course and timing of the

strike trajectory was. let's just pull up strike trajectory was. let's just pullupa strike trajectory was. let's just pull up a couple of tweets on this story. the global times is a chinese newspaper, state run, saying it deals a blow to trump‘s presidency. " if "if it is a lie, we will not trust trump". barbara, what is your assessment of the consequences of this issue? officially in japan and south korea, and even from the foreign ministry in china, there has not been a response. you‘ve got the quotes you mentioned there and there have been jokes about it on social media in china, there has also been some muscle flexing in north korea, saying this is a rustbucket facing our revolutionary power etc. so it

doesn‘t make americans look good. it could undermine their tougher approach, especially if that tougher approach, especially if that tougher approach and rhetoric is supposed to be backed up by a credible threat of military force. i think also alongside that it has been unsettling for us allies because they would want to know why is the president weighing one thing and his military forces doing and saying another? so that is also a big question mark as well, i think. thank you very much, barbara, speak to you soon on outside source. while that story was escalating, american vice president mike pence has been touring a different aircraft carrier that has docked at a japanese naval base. rupert wingfield—hayes was on board. the sight of the us vice president on board a nuclear—powered aircraft carrier is a very rare event — even more so when it‘s sitting in japan. was this an elaborate piece of theatre, or a sign america

is really preparing for action against north korea? we will defeat any attack and meet any use of conventional or nuclear weapons with an overwhelming and effective american response. applause. the united states of america will always seek peace, but under president trump, the shield stands guard and the sword stands ready. if president trump is planning some sort of military action against north korea, there is no sign of it here. this is the uss ronald reagan, the flagship of the seventh fleet, but it won‘t be ready to leave this port in japan for at least another month. figuring out what the jump administration is planning for north korea is not easy, perhaps deliberately so. —— the trump administration. rupert wingfield hayes, bbc news,

at the yokosuka naval base injapan. let‘s bring you some of the main sports stories of the day. we begin in america. the former nfl player aaron hernandez has killed himself in prison. he was 27 and was serving a life sentence for murder. marc edwards is at the bbc sport centre. what more can you tell us about this man‘s death and also the crime he had been convicted for? sad news from massachusetts where he was found just after 3am local time. prison guards tried to revive him but he was pronounced dead about an hour later in hospital. the 27—year—old former new england patriots tight ends. he entered the nfl in 2010 and in his second appearance became the youngest player in five decades to surpass 100 receiving yards in a game. he subsequently signed a five—year, $40 million contract with the patriots in 2012. in 2015 he was convicted of

killing a man who was dating his fiancee‘s sister. in 38 career games he had a total of 1956 yards, a total that would have been much higher if not for a series of injuries. as we said, he was serving a life sentence injail in massachusetts but just a life sentence injail in massachusetts butjust days ago he was found not filthy of a separate double murder. —— not guilty of a separate double murder. in terms of what happens to his conviction now, i heard some reports that that might be revisited now he has lost his life? ijust misheard that. that's absolutely fine, i wasjust going to misheard that. that's absolutely fine, i was just going to argue about where we go with the legal proceedings, he was not convicted of other crimes, but presumably the investigation now sees that he has lost his life. that is perhaps... he was injailfora lost his life. that is perhaps... he was injailfor a separate crime

lost his life. that is perhaps... he was in jail for a separate crime as well. as we said, his fiancee‘s sister, a person who was dating his fiancee‘s sister, who of course in that time, he was also a former friend of his, who had committed the crime. i assume we will hear more in the coming time. thank you very much indeed for your update on that story. aaron hernandez played for the new england patriots. and today his former team has been visiting the white house. they won the super bowl in february. here they are at an official function, attended by donald trump of course. six patriot players weren‘t there, they are boycotting the occasion, saying they don‘t feel welcome while donald trump is president. they include the tight end martellus bennett and also the defensive back devin mccourty. he said this. those who did go a long look like

they were having a good time. john spicer was doing his daily press briefing and one of the players showed up. what pans out in the negotiation. can i just? showed up. what pans out in the negotiation. can ijust? i think i got this, but thank you! need some help? thanks, man, see you in a minute! thanks, man, see you in a minute! thanks, man, see you in a minute! all man, see you in a minute! all man, see you in a minute! thanks, man, see you in a minute! thanks, man, see you in a minute! all right, that was cool! let‘s talk about rugby. the squad for the british and irish lions has been announced. they have the hardest of rugby assignments. first — they must fashion a team very quickly out of players who normally play for their respective countries.

and second — they must try and beat the all blacks in new zealand. here is what their coach warren gatland said earlier.|j here is what their coach warren gatland said earlier. i don't think we should get on the plane unless we think we have a chance of beating the all blacks. one of the challenges is that you try to play against the all blacks and they are human and capable of making mistakes, they have frailties and you but them under pressure. the pleasing thing is that a lot of those players can believe it now because they saw some of those frailties when ireland beat the all blacks in chicago. on the bbc sport website you can get the full squad and plenty of analysis from my collea g u es and plenty of analysis from my colleagues too. one last bit of sports news — serena williams appeared to announce on social media that she‘s pregnant. she posted this picture of herself on snapchat, posing in a mirror with the message: "20 weeks", before deleting the post. there‘s been no official confirmation from her team

but if true, it means she won her record—breaking 23rd grand slam singles title at the australian open injanuary when she was pregnant. but we will have to wait to hear from her to find out if that is definitely the case. we‘ve been following the jakarta local elections for some time on outside source. the elections have played into local and racial tensions. we will get a report on that from our correspondent. prince harry opened the london marathon expo today, his first public appearance since he spoke out about coming to terms with his mother‘s death, earlier this week. peter hunt reports. harry and his little helper melissa, getting the london marathon preparations underway. it‘s a race which, this year, has a special focus on a princely passion — mental health. prince harry has attracted widespread praise this week for his honesty when he spoke of the anguish and the anxiety he suffered for years after his mother‘s death. it was only right to share my

experiences and to help, to hope to encourage others to come forward, and sort of reduce or smash that stigma. to make it easier for them to talk about their own experiences. so, i wasjust doing my bit. and was it liberating? ummm... or scary? no, i mean, look — when you‘ve heard so many stories from so many other people, and if you can relate to that, then it‘s only right that you talk about your own experiences. but all the experts you‘ve met will have told you one of the key issues is funding, and that there isn‘t enough money in some places? what are you going to do about that? that‘s not for, as you probably know, that‘s not our mission. our mission is to remove the stigma of mental health so that we can provide a platform for people to be able to discuss it. but the risk is you could be encouraging people to seek services that aren‘t there. no, and that‘s something that we‘ve been completely aware of over the last year, but the fact and the reality is that, as i said,

the appetite is there. once the appetite is there, things will change. i‘m confident of that. it‘s not my position and it‘s not our position or ourjob, to do that. we are nonpolitical. so we will do everything that we can to encourage the conversation, remove the stigma, so that everything else then can take place. opening up about the past is a brotherly trait. in a bbc documentary, prince william has provided an insight into the trauma of his bereavement. the shock is the biggest thing, and i still feel, you know, 20 years later, about my mother, i still have shock within me. you know, 20 years later. people go, "shock can't last that long", but it does. you never get over it. it's such an unbelievably big moment in your life. it never leaves you. you just learn to deal with it. an upbeat harry believes their campaign is at a tipping point. the uk, he hopes, will lead the way in the world,

by removing the taboo surrounding mental health. this is outside source. our lead story is that britain‘s parliament has backed prime minister theresa may‘s call for an early general election. it will be onjune the 8th. every day on outside source we bring together the main global stories of the day and we turn text in —— turn next to venezuela. there have been massive anti—government demonstrations today in caracas and 20 other cities. you can see the size of them. people are angry over the state of the economy and hugely critical about the nature of president maduro‘s leadership. he‘s under pressure from abroad too. on monday, 11 latin american countries called on him to prevent any violence against protesters — and to set a date for new elections. so far he has not done that.

the opposition are calling these marches the "mother of all protests". we also spotted this from the reuters venezuela feed, that the opposition is beginning marches, but also that one protester has died after a gunshot to the head, that is after a gunshot to the head, that is after security sources, and we don‘t know who shot that person. we should mention there is a rival demonstration as well, in support of the president, but it was nowhere near as big as the protest is against him. vanessa herrero is a journalist in caracas. we talked to her earlier. this is actually a big protest. it was different from last week‘s, which saw the movement of a lot of people,

but nothing like this. it‘s the first time this year that both the opposition and forces of the government meet each other on the streets. but can these protesters do anything to force the president to stand down or at least to holding your election? before, we've seen really big protest in venezuela. everyone thought that the government was going to be more passive in measures against the opposition. but u nfortu nately, measures against the opposition. but unfortunately, that didn‘t happen. it is actually getting worse. this year a lot of journalists it is actually getting worse. this year a lot ofjournalists have been arrested and there were at least 500 protests this week. if the protesters are struggling to pressure president maduro, we have now got this group of latin american

leaders calling on him to call an election. do you think they can pressure him in a way that the protesters can‘t? pressure him in a way that the protesters can't? that is a different issue, yes, that may be more effective. we have seen that with the government of the united states. even though the government released a statement saying rejecting what the 11 said, i think they will keep protesting. the government every day is trying to show that they are strong. let‘s turn now to indonesia, because elections have just been held to choose jakarta‘s new governor. exit polls suggest this man —

anies baswedan — has won. whatever the result, it‘s been a campaign that‘s raised significant religious and racial tensions. rebecca henschke has more in this report. in conceding defeat, the governor widely known... called for unity. translation: we are all the same. we wa nt to translation: we are all the same. we want to jakarta to be good, we want it to move forward, because this is where we all live. celebrations have already begun here at the supporters‘s home of anies baswedan. anies baswedan, a former education minister, has been criticised for running a very divisive and dirty campaign, capitalising on the blasphemy accusation against the governor and highlighting religious differences, the fact that the governor is a christian and not a muslim. but it has been a very

successful campaign and these people say that he is a leader that they want, to bring jakarta back together after this divisive election. translation: he is a smart leader with a low profile, and he is close to the people. anies baswedan's campaign heavily capitalised on the blasphemy case against the governor, to harness the muslim vote. today, right after the election, the governor is back in court. he faces jail time if convicted of blasphemy. very unlikely he is to be acquitted, very likely he is to be found guilty. it means it can be easily politicised dissent your enemies, anyone you don‘t like, to prison. the jakarta election was widely seen

asa the jakarta election was widely seen as a proxy for the next presidential poll in two years‘ time, with supporters of anies baswedan crying out that their party win back the presidency from joko widodo. i should quickly mention before we finish, if you have a smartphone and you don‘t have the outside source app, you are missing outside source app, you are missing out on a huge depth of stories. —— the bbc news app. if you just go to your app store, you can find the bbc news at that. thank you for watching this edition of outside source. goodbye. well, before we have a look at the weather for the next few days, i just want to show you how dry april

has been. it has been a very quiet weather months, not seen many weather months, not seen many weather systems sweep through the uk. the brown here shows how very little rainfall has fallen so far. we still have to get through the rest of april, but it doesn‘t look like there will be a lot of rain coming our way at all, at least for the remainder of this week and into next week, it will stay fairly calm and cloudy, perhaps a little bit warmer over the next two or three days and then beyond that we will see that there are some changes on the way, perhaps a bit more dynamic sweeping of the atlantic, but not in the short term. this is thursday‘s weather forecast, cloudy and the short term. this is thursday‘s weatherforecast, cloudy and if the short term. this is thursday‘s weather forecast, cloudy and if you spit and spots of rain, that is pretty much it, eight quiet day on the way for most of us on thursday. riding, high pressured to the south of the uk, not necessarily all that sunny, and a weather front moving in from the north. this is a weak weather front that will produce a bit of rain into western parts of rutland but by the time it sinks

southwards, there will not be much rainfall on it at all. ahead of it, temperatures could just about warm up temperatures could just about warm up to 17 degrees in london but for most of us it will be a little bit cooler than that. on saturday, high pressure is established is itself in the uk. lots of settled weather. if the uk. lots of settled weather. if the clouds gather, there might be a view box of rain here and there but nothing more than that. winds will generally be light as well. and a fair bit of cloud, so this high pressure is not going to bring an awful lot of sunshine, and if anything, quite chilly and cloudy conditions across these northern parts of the uk. only 9 degrees in newcastle. and then here is the change. sunday into monday potentially we could see this nasty error of low pressure sweeping to the north of scotland or over scotland. this forecast certainly is a bit more uncertain at this stage, but gale force winds are possible and some heavy rain as well. to the south of that, a lot quieter. the

london marathon on sunday, 16 degrees could be the top temperature in the afternoon. let‘s focus on this loan again, here it is early on monday, sweeping across the north sea and into norway. then it is a cold front moving southwards. this could be a significant cold front in terms of the cold air from the arctic regions. look at this cold plunge, monday into tuesday. this could be very chilly air indeed for this time of year. if you‘re taking a walk down the north sea coast on one of the promenades, it really could be quite cold and you might need a coat, really chilly gusty winds as well. inland, probably not feeling too cold, and the jet stream really ta kes feeling too cold, and the jet stream really takes a bit of a dive through the middle part of the week and out of the northern climes, we see colder air seeping in. warmer air of the northern climes, we see colderairseeping in. warmerair is towards the south. the summary into next week is that there will be some sunshine around with this cold air

surging infrom sunshine around with this cold air surging in from the north. but that cold air, combined with the strong sunshine, may lead to some big rainstorms falling, so we could see some hit and miss heavy storms and hail in places as well. chilly into the north, thundery showers possible and overnight where we get clear skies there is a risk of the frost returning. not warming up in a hurry. this programme contains scenes of repetitive flashing image. it‘s on. mp‘s vote for the snap general election to take place onjune 8th. the ayes to the right, 522. the noes to the left, 13. the vote is passed overwhelmingly, though some mps and the snp abstain. the party leaders waste no time in getting on the campaign trail tonight. it‘s a choice between strong and stable leadership under the conservatives, or weak and unstable coalition of chaos led byjeremy corbyn.

are we going to be a country that works only to make the richest even richer? i know which side i'm on. you know which side you're on. this election is going to be fought on the streets of this country. the prime minister says she won‘t take part in any tv
