a the south—east of england. a co mforta ble the south—east of england. a comfortable night for sleeping on tuesday and then high pressure will build and bringing some good weather and sunshine. hello, i'm karin giannone — welcome to outside source. france's new president emmanuel macron has been holding his first talks with vladimir putin — with both leaders saying there was a frank airing of disagreements. russia today and sputnik have repeatedly produce counter truths about me and my campaign. this doesn't mean that we tried to influence the election, and it would have been impossible as well. this along with the wars in syria and ukraine as well as russian support for marine le pen — all add to a sense of heightened tensions between the two nations. uk police have released new pictures of manchester bomber, salman abedi, just one day before the attack last monday. president trump expresses his support for his son—in—law — after reports he tried to set up a secret communication line with moscow.
9:01 pm
following german chancellor angela merkel‘s comments that the eu can't completely depend on the us and the uk anymore — britain's home secretary responds. theresa may and jeremy corbyn are currently facing a televised grilling in the lead up to next week's general election. and if you want to get in touch at any time — the hash tag bbc 05 is the way to contact us. the new french president met the russian president today. here's how the trip went. despite the sweltering weather this meeting held a touch of frost from the start. at the entrance to france's versailles palace the two leaders greeting each other with brief handshakes and small grim
9:02 pm
smiles. two hours later after their first meeting the mood was if anything even cooler. france and russia have backed different groups in the syrian conflict. president macron said that while france did not want to destabilise the syrian state there were red lines that must not be crossed. translation: i stress again in my meeting with president putin there is a clear red line and exists on our part, the use of chemical weapons by whoever it may be. the use of chemical weapons will be the object of immediate retaliation on the part of the french. the two leaders are also divided over the situation and ukraine the russian president said condemning the sanctions imposed the country as a result of the crisis. translation: sanctions against russia are not helping to find a solution to the crisis in ukraine. we must try to lift this economic restrictions.
9:03 pm
it is the only way we can be more free and be able to restore peace the region. mr putin also appeared to deny any russian interference in france's recent presidential race despite allegations by macron‘s team that russian agents has tried repeatedly to hack into their accounts. mr macron himself strongly defended the banning of two russian media outlets from covering his campaign, describing them as agents of propaganda. this choice of venue and the inauguration of a new exhibition here of 300 years of franco russian ties is meant to highlight the long relationship between the two countries. but more recent events have made this a stiff and awkward meeting and it showed. earlier i spoke to bbc russian‘s olga ivshina, and alexander seale, a journalist who specialises in french politics. it was an important meeting because
9:04 pm
it was president macron‘s first meeting with president putin. it was interesting to see how both men were talking to each other. i think vladimir putin, if you watch the press c0 nfe re nce vladimir putin, if you watch the press conference today, he looked quite tense, because macron criticised russia and president putin today. what did you make of it? both sides are doing reconnaissance. they are trying to assess, trying to understand. they are looking to the future. if we rememberthe are looking to the future. if we remember the last meeting between angela merkel and president putin, not that long ago, both sides were disappointed with each other, definitely nervous, but this one was not that bad, was not that tense. of course it was not easy for both sides, especially for mr putin, but it was not tense. there is some hope for both sides i guess, and both
9:05 pm
sides are interested in continuation of this dialogue. it wasn't so long ago that emmanuel macron was accusing rasher of hacking and interfering in the french presidential election, what has changed? —— accusing russia. presidential election, what has changed? -- accusing russia. not much has changed. he accused them of being financed by the kremlin. he used tough language in front of his counterparts. there was no holding back. it was acknowledged there were difficult issues. of course. it seemed that mr putin takes this criticism for granted by. he hear so much of that. what was interesting was the fact he didn't talk about ukraine much. it seems that he tries not to concentrate on hard topics, but to look at those which may bring some opportunity for dialogue, some
9:06 pm
opportunity for common language. he did not concentrate on hard areas, but especially tried to talk about those things which may bring countries together, because they don't need allies —— because he does need allies, he does need leaders to top two in this europe, this consta ntly top two in this europe, this constantly changing environment. what was on this for macron? this is early in his present in six. —— early in his present in six. —— early in his presidency. on syria, he said use of chemical weapons in the future, france will strike back. against the regime of assad. we know that russia has been backing this regime for quite some time. emanuel macron was very tough on putin over syria. we have 20 that the former president did not get along with bar
9:07 pm
to putted. he was supposed to come to putted. he was supposed to come to paris in october to inaugurate an orthodox church near the eiffel tower, but fatima putin had to cancel that is, because france were whole and only wanted to talk about syria. is this more about a look to the future rather than trying to smooth over what has gone before? yes, definitely. during the electoral campaign in france state media was tough on macron, —— russian state media was tough on macron, and madine the pain didn't win, now they have to get common language with macron. he has to offer something interesting, otherwise france * lee is more tied with germany, and maybe even more the united states rather than with russia. mr putin wants to change
9:08 pm
this because he needs partners, he needs to continue dialogue on such issues as ukraine and sillier. he needs some positive terms to be found. —— ukraine and syria. the leaders of the two main uk parties are being interviewed on television right now ahead of the general election. tell us about the format, this is not a conventional debate. no. it is not at all a tv debate. it is one candidate getting better time for 45 minutes, then the other one steps up. you have 100 people in an audience, carefully selected for their political views, they have been asking their questions, putting
9:09 pm
questions to one candidate, then vetted in tv broadcasterjeremy paxman has his chance to grill them. the two candidates at any point, jeremy corbyn and theresa may, will not be on stage at the same time. and there is a corridor where one tea m and there is a corridor where one team is on one side of the corridor and the other team is on the other side so that they don't meet at all. what have we been hearing so far from jeremy corbyn and how is he read to have done? he has been on for about 35 minutes so he has been on for about 35 minutes so far. it was all quite polite, the questions from the audience first of all, he was asked about all sorts of things, from terror, to brexit, to his policies for corporation tax in the uk. one of the most interesting questions so far was about foreign policy and comments that he made after the manchester attack last week, talk about what he said, linking terrorism and foreign
9:10 pm
policy, he was asked why we should soft and foreign policy when groups like is don't negotiated —— don't negotiate, he reiterated his condemnation of the attack and also how he didn't want foreign policy that left parts of the world and governed. the most passionate question came from somebody talking about accusations of him being a sympathiser for the ira. he about accusations of him being a sympathiserfor the ira. he was asked about a specific commemoration that he went to four ira members. jeremy paxman said he went to that in order to start a dialogue for peace. in northern ireland. quite a polite set of questions that now it is getting trickier from jeremy paxman as he is killing him on all sorts of things, talking about his core beliefs and what is on the labour manifesto, trying to create the impression of discord between labour party members and jeremy corbyn, the leader. —— he is
9:11 pm
questioning him on all sorts of things. ten minutes to go and then it is theresa may's turn for her 45 minutes. thank you, we will be back to west london a little later to hear how theresa may is doing. donald trump has defended his son—in—law and advisor, jared kushner, after he was accused of trying to set up a secret communication line to moscow. here's the statement mr trump released to the new york times. the original report was in the washington post. in it jared kushner is accused of speaking to this man. russian ambassador sergei kislyak. it's alleged the pair discussed setting up a secret back channel for communications with moscow.
9:12 pm
i have been speaking to our correspondent in washington. these allegations are raising eyebrows in washington. this story relates to a meeting that happened on december the 1st or second between the russian ambassador and jared kushner. this is after donald trump has won the election but before he has been sworn in. the trump transition team is meeting with the russian ambassador and supposedly jared kushner is with the russian ambassador and supposedlyjared kushner is meant with the russian ambassador and supposedly jared kushner is meant to have discussed the idea of setting up have discussed the idea of setting upa have discussed the idea of setting up a secret back channel with moscow. this is what is really raising eyebrows, supposedly using secure equipment at a russian diplomatic facility, that is because the russians know they are spied upon by the americans here in the us, they presumably have a special secure way of dealing between the russian embassy here and in moscow when they don't want to be overheard. this is the allegation, that jared kushner wanted to use that jared kushner wanted to use
9:13 pm
that particular secure channel of communication supposedly to talk about coordinating policy with russia over syria. very serious matters, but leading republicans have said there is nothing wrong with a back channel, and who knows of the story is true or not at this stage? i was wondering how much momentum this story is gaining in amongst all the other allegations and insinuations about the administration's links with russia. the president himself is furious. he did not eat very much during that nine—day foreign trip but now he is back, he is back on form, he is tweeting away about fake news. he is seeing all these stories with anonymous news | seeing all these stories with anonymous news i made up, often at his fake news. he is very angry. —— news are made up. the president has returned, a special council has been set up, it will look into whether or not there were links between the trump campaign and russia, whether there was collusion during the
9:14 pm
election campaign, and it seems to be complete chaos. the white house is talking about heavy body is getting lawyers, the president himself is supposed to be interviewing several high profile lawyers. jared kushner has supposedly been told by the white house counsel that he can they represented and stories can be made about the washington post story, jared kushner needs his own lawyer. it isa jared kushner needs his own lawyer. it is a confused and turbulent picture as the president returns, with talk of him wanting to set up a room to wall of all of this from the rest of his legislative business, he is trying to get health care and tax reform through. how important is the role of janet kushner? he is the son in law of their president. he is married to the daughter of the president. he is in control of the peace process and innovation, key rules. stay with us on outside source.
9:15 pm
still to come: we'll report from brazil where the president is under pressure — thousands have rallied on copacabana beach to accuse michel temer female zookeeper has died at hamerton zoo after an incident involving a tiger. two members of staff handed out a statement. in it they said they were too distressed to talk but they confirmed that one of their collea g u es confirmed that one of their colleagues had been killed in what they described as a freak accident in the tiger enclosure this afternoon. they said at no point did any animal escape from the enclosure and at no point were any members of the public in danger. when it happened, people on social media who we re happened, people on social media who were here at the time, described how
9:16 pm
they were moved very quickly from inside the zoo out, the zoo was evacuated, they said although the staff were clearly anxious and nervous, it was all done in a controlled way, and many have been paying tribute to their prompt actions in the light of what happened. this is outside source. our top story. president macron of france has met russia's president putin in their first face to face talks. both leaders said there was a frank airing of their two nations‘ disagreements. other stories being reported around the bbc. the mayor of paris has called for a black feminist festival
9:17 pm
in the city to be banned on the grounds that it excludes white people. the nya nsapo festival, due to take place injuly will reserve 80% of the venue for black women. the organisers say that they have been the target of a campaign of disinformation and fake news. that's on the bbc world service. and among the most read on our website: us golfer tiger woods has been arrested and charged with driving under the influence. the 14—time major champion was booked into the palm beach county jail in florida after he was arrested by police. he was released on bail a few hours later. leaked audio reporting is appear to show the president of brazil, michel temer, receiving bribes. people are protesting at rio. this was rio's way of making a stand. the carnival atmosphere amid loud demands for democracy. the atmosphere here is
9:18 pm
very different from what we saw a couple of days ago in brasilia when protest is descended into violence. here, there is singing and dancing, but the message is clear. the flags and placards say michel temer has to go. people here want new elections. they are angry about wheat recordings showing the president supporting bribes to a politician in prison. he is not a president, he is not legitimate. he is like a thief. he is not only not a legitimate president, he is also very unpopular. but president michel temer maintains his innocence and says he would step down. he will never recover his political authority. he can remain in power however and that would be very bad for brazil. everyone here is waiting to see what happens onjune the 6th
9:19 pm
friend is apos—macro actual code meets to decide whether it annuls 2014 presidential election. at that point michel temer could be pushed out that under the brazilian constitution congress would have to choose a successor until mixture's elections. not everyone is happy. we wa nt to elections. not everyone is happy. we want to give back to the people the right to choose their next president directly. the next few weeks are really important to brazil. beth, when, and how the president will lead. it is a waiting game that everybody wants to get over to get on with rebuilding the political faith of the country. the chief executive of british airways has said an electrical surge that not that its computers at the weekend that the back—up system also collapsed, disrupting thousands of flights worldwide. the chief executive has apologised but is refusing to resign. our reporter has this. it was restored by it took a long
9:20 pm
time from messaging and sisters to come up again. terminalfive is getting back to something like normality. it is one thing sorting out the immediate problem, it is going to take british areas far longer to ease people's anger at the way they handled the entire situation. the meltdown hit 75,000 passengers across the world, each with a different story. one main complaint, no one was telling them what was going on. we are aware that to be locations have to get better, particularly as social media continues to expand. we will continues to expand. we will continue to invest in resources, in
9:21 pm
ways with which we can directly reach out to people. ba made thousands of staff redundant recently outsourcing itjobs to india. that issue would have been resolved in minutes if he still had those employees and the system would have been up and running. when i put it to the chief executive he flatly deny that outsourcing had made any difference. totally unconnected with all of those redundancies and the outsourcing of the it? absolutely, yes. one estimate has put the compensation bill at £150 million. you cannot predict price on the damage to their reputation. it could be more bad news for people flying because america's homeland security secretary says the us could extend its ban on laptops and ta blets extend its ban on laptops and tablets on planes to cover all international flights in and tablets on planes to cover all internationalflights in and out tablets on planes to cover all international flights in and out of the country. in march the us banned
9:22 pm
electronics larger than a mobile phone on flights from several minutes —— several middle eastern countries. tell us why this latest move? the head of homeland security over the weekend appeared on american television and when asked about whether or not he was considering this ban, he said, there is a threat against aviation, as a result of that he is considering in permitting a ban on items larger than the size ofa a ban on items larger than the size of a smartphone. the reason he gave when pressed was he said terrorists are obsessed with the idea of knocking down a plane, particular —— particularly a us plane. there is a ban on laptops for countries that fly to the us from the middle east and north africa, the concept here is whether you expand that, to
9:23 pm
transatlantic flights, on average 350 flights are affected per week from the middle east, if you extended that ran to europe, you are talking about 350 flights per day at least. that is a huge number. this is probably the last in the airline passengers would want to hear. what impact would it have in practical terms on the airlines? there is huge logistics. you were talking about british airways. you can see when something goes wrong, the knock—on effect can be huge. when it comes to security, there is a lot to arrange. it is notjust the airlines are put to prepare for this, it is also the airports. this is something that work is being done to see whether new security machines could deal with this, but they are expensive and it would take a lot of money and a lot of time for it to roll out. thank you. this year ‘s cannes festival has been the usual round of
9:24 pm
parties that there has been controversy, networks broke with tradition by not releasing its two entries. our reporter has been speaking to the network ‘s chief officer. trying to meet consumer expectations, broad access to content, expectations, broad access to co nte nt, we expectations, broad access to content, we know that global distribution platform that we have, personalisation capacity, can find the biggest audience for those films, support those creators more effectively. we think it is a great option for distribution. you have this issue around who french cinema tickets are taxed and those proceeds go into funding french cinema. in essence you distribution model would kill french cinema. do you think it will? we are investing a tremendous amount in french cinema in the local entertainment industry. we think it is quite effective because we are bringing those stories from france to the world in a way that hides a much bigger audience, and more
9:25 pm
releva nce for much bigger audience, and more relevance for french products. we know it is a clouded market. hbo, showtime also doing what you are doing, how do you deal with this increasing competition? it is not surprising that there are a lot of people who want to write this wave of internet revolutionising entertainment but think of the competitive space from a consumer perspective, it is way broader than that. we are competing with everything that a consumer might do to entertain themselves, reading a book, going out with friends, watching linear television, all of those things, our focus watching linear television, all of those things, ourfocus is watching linear television, all of those things, our focus is to look at our service, how do we provide compelling content experience, how do we get better and better, make awesome plodders experience that surrounds content, if we focus on that will be all right. stay with us. we will be back in a few minutes. welcome to our nightly look at the

pa rt this could cause issues across this part of the world. further south in sri lanka, you may well have heard already, there has been severe flooding, it is because of the monsoon, south—westerly winds piling moisture and towards this area, this is what we expect, but the rain has been so intense that there has been significant flooding. there could be more of the soon to come because we keep the monsoon winds, keep the south—westerly is piling on rainfall and across the south—west. these areas could see another 400 millimetres of rain before the wea kest millimetres of rain before the weakest done. and these outs —— and this rain starting to spread to parts of india. the usa, in the south humid air is lacking. tuesday brings more showers and storms across southern areas of the states, could be more tornadoes here, again something we would expect at this time of year, but we have had a fair few expect at this time of year, but we have had a fairfew in expect at this time of year, but we
9:28 pm
have had a fair few in recent days and weeks. slightly different story for australia, here it is winter, this area of cloud sliding its way and isa this area of cloud sliding its way and is a cold front, behind that there is cold are working across the south—east of australia. a similar vote of tuesday the tenth into the night, you can see the orange colours change away from the map. a very cold night, there could be a touch of frost, frost might not be something you think about readily when talking about the weather across australia. in unit thunderstorms on the menu right across the continent, particularly in central areas. if you have a flight in central areas. if you have a flight across central europe or any travel plans, there might be delays, some of these thunderstorms could be vicious. and here, cooler and fresher conditions for the rest of the week. more information on that in 30 minutes. hello, i'm karin giannone,
