hello, i'm ros atkins, this is outside source. we start with the uk election today... theresa may is in wales. voters traditionally back the labour party — but the prime minister is urging them to turn to the conservatives. a vote for any other party would be a vote for a week and failing jeremy corbyn, propped up by a coalition of chaos which would risk our national future. we talk to our correspondence in westminster about the political situation in wales and the political situation in wales and the labour party, giving more on the plans for brexit. the tension around the korean peninsula continues to ratchet up. a us submarine has arrived in south korean waters. and north korea is carrying out a large military drill. we'll be live in washington. yemen's situation is worsening still. the un's says it's on the brink of famine. we are witnessing the starving and the crippling of an entire generation. we must act now to save lives.

and i'll be asking rory cellan—jones about a new app that promises to use artificial intelligence to offer health care. jimmy wales, the founder of wikipedia, has been answering questions you sent me about his new project to take on fake news. you can see his answers and questions on other stories. you know how to get into touch alex —— you know how to get into! welcome to outside source... june 8th is election day here in the uk. let's update you on the campaign. the prime minister theresa may has been in south wales. we wa nt we want to get votes and support here in wales. because, that will strengthen my hand in the brexit negotiations. clapping

the opposition labour party has been offering more detail on how it sees brexit working. we do not accept that there has to bea we do not accept that there has to be a reckless tory brexit. a fundamental issue in this election. it isa fundamental issue in this election. it is a fundamental issue for everybody who will be voting. we do not believe that if you are a citizen of the world, you are a citizen of the world, you are a citizen of the world, you are a citizen of nowhere. of course we recognise and accept that immigration rules are going to have to change when we leave the eu. let me say that again. we accept immigration rules are going to have to change when we leave the eu. but we don't accept that immigration should be the only overarching priority, the only red line. the part of that speech that got the

most attention today was that labour would guarantee the status of eu citizens in the uk before brexit negotiations, not waiting for the negotiations, not waiting for the negotiations to continue, as the labour party try to make a point of difference from the government position on that issue. i spoke to eleanor garnier about this. labour trying to provide clarity on the issue of brexit for months. it has been criticised for not having a clear message, seeming to say one thing one month and another thing another month. today we had the shadow brexit secretary trying to put parity and yes, as you say, distinguishing labourfrom put parity and yes, as you say, distinguishing labour from the conservatives. saying labour would guarantee the rights of eu citizens here in the uk on day one of the labour government getting into power. we know the conservatives have that as a priority. but they will not guarantee that unilaterally. we know labour would give the uk parliament here a veto

over any brexit deal negotiated. that is not something the conservatives and theresa may are offering. labour want to retain benefits of the single market prioritising the economy. theresa may has made clear the uk will be leaving the single market and be leaving the single market and be leaving the single market and be leaving the customs union. what it does show is that the issue of brexit is an absolutely huge issue in the general election. theresa may once the general election to be all about brexit but labour are trained to draw a line under the confusion on where it stands on brexit and other issues as well. the nhs and social care, the fact that labour says it is an anti—austerity party and until labour draw a line under the brexit issue, those are the different issues that it wants to talk about may not get much traction... let's talk about wales, it was intriguing to see the prime minister there, and polling and the

conservatives seem to be doing better than they have done in previous election campaigns in wales. what is going on there? with that poll, it is a single one and we must take it with a huge pinch of salt. what was significant today was that theresa may went to wales so early in this general election campaign. she clearly thinks that there are vulnerable seats there. that were previously seen as labour safe. thank you. let's go over to the korean peninsular... a us submarine has arrived in south korean waters. the americans insist the deployment is routine — but its not seen that way by north korea. it's also carrying out a large scale military drill. this is was the message on state tv. translation: now that the us has pulled out a sword to kill us, we will pull out a grand sword of justice and fight until the end. we will kill the us imperialists with

oui’ will kill the us imperialists with our strong and revolutionary power. our nuclear forces our strong and revolutionary power. our nuclearforces are our strong and revolutionary power. our nuclear forces are at the core. the bbc world twitter feed tells us this... let's turn to our north america correspondent anthony zurcher is in washington. an unusual movement, is it done for practical or symbolic reasons? an unusual movement, is it done for practical or symbolic reason57m isn't practical or symbolic reasons7m isn't done for practical reasons, it was easy for the administration to send additional is, the secretary of defence and chiefs, other senior level military officials to congress, where they could have briefed all of the senators in the senate as they have there. this is to show the seriousness of what the trump administration is taking on. this idea of bringing all 100 senators to the white house tomorrow at 3pm local time was donald trump's own idea. a departure from

tradition, but as far as donald trump goes, i think the venue was important to him. he wanted the senators on his turf to show that he is in charge and will put on a show there with all of the senators getting into their cars and being driven to the white house. it is a symbolic gesture more than any kind of practical reason. as we often discuss at this time of day, plans by donald trump are divisive in washington but interesting, regarding that position, is most of washington behind how the trump administration approach is this?” think you are hearing general support, there is an understanding the usa needs to take their nuclear programme seriously, they are developing missiles that could eventually reach us territory, you need to take that seriously. we hear from people like john need to take that seriously. we hear from people likejohn mccain, saying that donald trump is doing the right moves here, ramping up the pressure on north korea, including possible

un sanctions, moving an aircraft carrier and the submarine you mentioned, near the north korean peninsular. all of those moves are necessary to address the situation. and you are hearing a change of rhetoric from the white house. donald trump himself saying that he did not think kim jong—un was all that strong. that kind of sabre rattling was different to what we heard during the obama administration. some critics said outside of politicians but it was counter—productive and could provoke a response from the north koreans that was unwanted. am sure that we will talk tomorrow, thank you. the situation in yemen is increasingly desperate. just as in syria, its civil war now features other countries. and just as in syria, civilians are paying a heavy price. there are 25.6 million people in yemen. it gives you an idea of the extent of the conflict. almost 19 million are in urgent need of assistance. two million of them are children

who are acutely malnourished. this is the latest plea from the un. on average, a child under the age of five dies of preventable causes in yemen every ten minutes. and this means 50 children in yemen will die during today's conference, and all those deaths could have been prevented. many of the children who survive will be affected by stunting and poor health for their entire lives. we are witnessing the starving and the crippling of an entire generation. we must act now, to save lives. that's antonio guterres speaking at a donor conference for yemen in geneva. the problem here is not just about funding — it's about the war making it hard to get aid to people. these are the two factions fighting for control the internationally—recognised

government of president abdrabbuh mansour hadi and those allied to the houthi rebel movement.— and pockets of al oaada presence — and this shows the number of displaced people — the darker the colour the more there are — many pushed from the urban areas because of the violence and saudi—led coalition bombing. those in the west are more heavily affected than anywhere else. whenever we talk about the yemen conflict, we turn to my colleague... mai noman is from yemen and of ourjournalists — she explained how she sees the situation in her home country. i have recently come back from spending one month in yemen, where basically the situation is at a standstill. that is the political situation. on the other side, the humanitarian situation is rapidly deteriorating. last time i was in yemen was two years ago when who the rebels stormed the capital and took over. to see the difference in the

country over. to see the difference in the cou ntry after over. to see the difference in the country after only two years, and how tragic the situation has become, it is shocking. and what are the factors making that humanitarian situation so much worse? as you know, today we heard the donors have pledged over 1 know, today we heard the donors have pledged over1 billion dollars to yemen. that is only half the amount the un has stated that yemen needs for the humanitarian crisis. the issue isn't just for the humanitarian crisis. the issue isn'tjust that for the humanitarian crisis. the issue isn't just that there for the humanitarian crisis. the issue isn'tjust that there isn't enough money but there is the issue of access. most of these workers, these aid workers, working on the ground cannot reach those people most in need because of continued fighting. we know the most intense front line in yemen is a port where most of the imports and aid is delivered. if fighting continues in areas like that, it will only make

delivering aid a lot more harder. there needs to be a lot more harder. there needs to be a political and military situation to provide access you are describing. is it you when taking the lead in trying to drive that? —— is it the un? the root of the problem is the political situation. and the war going on. you have the saudi led coalition on one side, and the yemeni government battling with the rebels. where people at home frustrated with how the world is responding? do they feel we are paying enough attention? no. they feel completely despondent, that it has become so bad and yet they get very little attention. more background information on the conflict in yemen on the bbc news

website. stay with us — in a few minutes... complications with two executions last night in arkansas — we'll bring you the latest. our 0ur correspondence our correspondence has spoken to some of the men on death row and relatives of victims. we will hear more ina relatives of victims. we will hear more in a few minutes. the parents of madeleine mccann say they will never give up searching for their missing child and described the tenth anniversary of her disappearance which is next week asa her disappearance which is next week as a horrible marker. she vanished while on holiday in portugal with her parents. mark rowley has revealed that reddish detectives are still working on the case. after this time, even after ten years, there are lines of enquiry that are worth pursuing and that means it is

possible they will find an answer, it is possible they won't but as long as we have the resources to do it, and as long as these are sensible lines of enquiry we will keep going down those lines. if we provide an answer to a family in such an awful situation, that is what we must do. this is outside source live from the bbc newsroom. our lead story is? uk prime minister theresa may has taken her general election campaign to wales, stressing the importance of a united kingdom in brexit negotiations. the main stories from bbc world service... a thai man has filmed himself killing his baby daughter on facebook live — before taking his own life. relatives of the man saw what was happening and alerted the police — but the authorities

arrived too late. francois hollande has called for unity in france. he made the remarks during a tribute to a policeman who was shot dead in paris last week. both candidates to succeed the president have paid tribute to officer who died — but neither are showing any signs of agreeing with each other on security matters. and this is in the most watched video on the bbc news app. it's the kitty hawk — it's a flying car, backed by google's co—founder larry page. it's a prototype but we're told there are plan to deliver what's being called a "personalflying machine" later this year. over the last few weeks on outside source we've reported on arkansas' plans to carry out eight executions before the end of the month. one man was executed on thursday. on monday night two more men died — jack jones and marcel williams. the reason for the rush to execute is that the drug used by arkansas in lethal injections expires in late

april. jeff rosenzweig was jack jones' lawyer — here he is talking to the bbc about the drugs used. the problem specifically with that drug is that that it is not often effective to in juice the kind of unconsciousness thatis juice the kind of unconsciousness that is necessary to avoid pain and suffering and torture with the second and third drugs. we do not know if, in fact, it worked that way oi’ know if, in fact, it worked that way or not. in the case of mrjones. our correspondence has followed this story closely and spoken to some of the men on death row, and relatives of their victims. i have been speaking to him about some of the

conversations that he has had. with that man we were talking about, jack jones was executed last night and we spoke to family members of the woman who died, the woman who was raped and strangled to death by jack jones, and you were hearing from that lawyer, saying that this drug causes suffering and it appears, according to lawyers, that actually jackjones went through something of an ordeal last night during the execution. the family of victim said that they do not mind if he suffered a bit because our relative, my wife, suffered when he was assaulting her. of course it is the responsibility of the state, if they are to put people to death, to do so humanely. there are so many people now saying lethal injection is not a humane way to do this. last night, lawyers said that it took 41 minutes at least,

maybe more, to try and put an intravenous line into jackjones ‘s neck and it was unsuccessful and thatis neck and it was unsuccessful and that is why when the next execution was due to happen, it was stayed at the very last minute. the next person to be executed, marcel williams, was on the bed ready to be executed when he was told there was a stay of execution, but one hour later he was brought back and they carried on with that execution. later he was brought back and they carried on with that executionm the intention for five carried on with that executionm the intention forfive more men to die before the end of the month? because of all of these legal battles, partly as you heard from the lawyer about the fact that suffering was caused but in individual cases. we've got to the stage where out of the eight people due to be executed in ten days, there are just four in the end he can be executed. three of them have already been executed. one more is to come on thursday. others have all had stays of

execution but what happens to then is then uncertain. the drug runs out at the end of the month and no other drug companies want to sell the state of arkansas or any state these drugs any more because they know what they are used for. for a drug to be —— for a drug company to be associated with the death penalty is something that they do not want to do. the states have big problems now when it comes to putting people to death. donald trump has imposed tariffs on some imports. for instance, timber from canada will be subject to a tax of up to 24%. none of us should be surprised... this is all in line with the president's ‘america first‘ rhetoric. and because this is canada, we need to see it in the context of mr trump's desire to ditch the north america free trade agreement. that's between the us, canada and mexico. well mexico's economy secretary has spoken to the bbc about the prospect of new tariffs on mexican goods. if you think for instance they will

impose a specific tariff on imports, at the end of the day, these are us consumers who will pay for it. any other idea that comes to mind, you need to review precisely, at the end of the day, who will be carrying the burden of that decision. that you are burden of that decision. that you a re clear burden of that decision. that you are clear and burden of that decision. that you are clearand on burden of that decision. that you are clear and on record as saying that if tariffs were imposed there would be repercussions? obviously. it is obvious that it would basically be aggravated, you need to analyse and respond to the consequence. we do not have to anticipate. we are at a point where we would like to look at this constructively. understanding that there are deep differences in terms of how to view these key issues. we believe that there are ways to work

constructively and think about the nafta which will benefit the countries. it was notjust nafta which will benefit the countries. it was not just timber that mr trump followed up on... mr trump followed up on the canadian border tariff announcement with this tweet @realdonaldtrump "canada has made business for our dairy farmers in wisconsin and other border states very difficult. we will not stand for this. watch!". meanwhile, the us treasury secretary said "it has been a bad week for us—canada trade relations". i need some help on this... samira hussainjoins us from ny. these two states at odds, are they suggesting that these new tariffs are unhelpful? i think that we need to look at what is being said, within the larger context of the north american free trade agreement. as we have spoken about many times, it is clear that president trump wa nts to it is clear that president trump wants to start the process of re—negotiating the decade—old agreement. this is the kind of

rhetoric you here before we begin to embark on those kinds of grievances. softwood lumber has been a long—standing grievance between canada and the us. with regards to dairy, there is a feeling within the us that canadian farmers are getting an unfair subsidy. canadian dairy farmers feel similarly when it comes to american dairy farmers. looking at all of this within the wider context of re—negotiating nafta, these are people drawing lines in these are people drawing lines in the sand about what they want, to put on the table, when discussions finally begin. what is the timetable on nafta either being ditched or at least renegotiated? a very good question! many people expect that it will not be until at least august before they renegotiate again.

yesterday, the us chamber of commerce is rather optimistic and believes a reformulated plan could believes a reformulated plan could be in place by about 2018. similar, thank a british firm has announced plans to build the world's most advanced artificial intelligence health care platform. rory cellan—jones is here. this is a company called babylon based in london and they have announced today got million dollars to build a doctor in your pocket, —— $60 million. they will be giving advice to patients via a smartphone camera. they take that data and data from an advice line they have got for british patients. they feed it into a computer, through a process called machine learning, and eventually they will have a programme which is as good at dealing with a patient and giving a diagnosis as any general doctor. in fact,

and giving a diagnosis as any general doctor. infact, in and giving a diagnosis as any general doctor. in fact, in the long run, it is better than any doctor. they have all of that data and more data than any single doctor could possibly absorbed in their lifetime. soa possibly absorbed in their lifetime. so a user would say, i have a rash on my forearm, what is this, what do ido on my forearm, what is this, what do i do with my phone? how would i get advice? you could talk to your phone and initiate a conversation. describe the symptoms and the smartphone has sensors built into it. you would have a relationship with it and it would know your health history and feed you a series of questions which you would answer, taking into account everything it knows about you. your fitness tracker might be linked to it, and it could give you a diagnosis to tell you what is wrong. it sounds like a bit of a nightmare for doctors... for professional doctors. but the company is working with doctors and is keen to stress no, this will be a supplement, not a

replacement? you second-guess the next question i was going to ask! in the past we know doctors have been frustrated coming into the surgery saying they'd look things up on the internet and they think it is this... this is being aimed not only at patients in britain, but places in the developing world where maybe it is difficult to get access to a doctor. the idea and the claim is, these are big claims, a lot of people are working in this field and it will extend health care to those who do not have it. not replacing it but there are a lot of places where there are a lot of places where there are a lot of places where there are huge shortages of doctors and this will fill in the gap. inafew and this will fill in the gap. in a few minutes we will hear from jimmy wales, the co—founder of wikipedia, taking your questions on his plan to take on fake news... good evening. it is time to take a

look at what the weather is doing around the world. let me start across the usa. three areas of interest with the wildfires still raging in parts of florida and of any rain any rain. rain further north is soaking the carolinas today and into the junior and north is soaking the carolinas today and into thejunior and new england. it is tied in with this area of pressure heading northwards. this area of low pressure threatens severe storms ahead on tuesday and into wednesday. a real risk of tornadoes. striking at night makes them more dangerous with damaging hailand them more dangerous with damaging hail and gusts of wind. continuing progress through tornado alley as we go through wednesday as well. more to come this week. warm and moist airat this time to come this week. warm and moist air at this time of year, the gulf of mexico pumping moisture and meeting called air from the rocky mountains. this area of low pressure is linked to wet weather we've had injamaica and haiti, where we had

flash flooding. that weather system isn't far away, it is slow—moving and we continue a moisture deed of the atlantic, and a risk of a few more showers to come here. not as wet as it has been. it continues to be wet across ecuador and colombia and peru, and the peak of rain across western areas in the uk. it is looking dry in bios areas on wednesday, the storm is reluctant to move from montevideo, but with had the equivalent of two months of rainfall in parts of bangladesh already. over 8000 millimetres. the poll and north—east india are suffering very wet weather at the moment. —— nepal. easton rich wray and north—east states of india in particular and bangladesh —— east nepal. this time of year you would expect temperatures to be getting towards the low 40s ahead of monsoon

season. last week, bitterly cold air across east europe and significant snow, temperatures barely five or six. now, cold air hits the north and west of europe, like we see in the uk, down in iberia and meeting with warmer air. this weather front, expecting more unseasonable snow across the austrian, swiss and italian alps. bucharest was five or six last week. winter bites back in the north and west. further eastwards, sunshine between our wintry showers here in the uk, still a northerly wind is with us on wednesday as we head towards the back the day weekend. a mixed picture, possible rain on sunday and into monday, but jay has more picture, possible rain on sunday and into monday, butjay has more on that for you in about 30 minutes. goodbye! hello, i'm ros atkins, this is outside source. these are the main stories in the bbc newsroom right now. uk prime minister, theresa may, has taken her general election campaign to wales, with six weeks to go

before polling day. voters traditionally back the labour party there but she urged them to turn to the conservatives. a vote for any other party would be a vote for a weak and failing jeremy corbyn, propped up by a coalition of chaos, which would risk our national future. the labour party has been detailing how that would oversee brexit negotiations. the tension around the korean peninsula continues to ratchet up. a us submarine has arrived in south korean waters. north korea is carrying out a large military drill and there are fears
