9:30 pm
hello, i'm ros atkins, this is outside source. donald trump junior has defended his meeting with a russian lawyer last year — who he believed had incriminating evidence about hillary clinton. again, this is before russia mania, before they built it up in the press. for me, it was opposition research. in an interview with the bbc — president erdogan of turkey has denied claims that his country has jailed over 150 journalists. translation: those people inside jailare translation: those people inside jail are not titled as journalists. some of them corroborated with terror organisations. our china editor has been looking at the chinese companies are pouring workers into new countries — leaving locals wondering what the benefits are for them. the eu's chief brexit negotiator has said britain must recognise its financial obligations to the european union. the brexit story is getting complicated, if you've got any questions, tweet them to us at #bbc os and we'll answer. all the other contacts are on
9:31 pm
screen. here's my colleague zeinab badadwi, telling us... "with president erdogan of turkey. wide ranging interview on @bbchardtalk, marking a year since the failed coup". let's see some of it. first, here's the president on whether journalists are beign imprisoned. opposition journalists write a lot of insulting articles about me even recently they did it during the march. those insulting articles are still out there. those people in jail are not journalists. some of them collaborated with terror organisations.
9:32 pm
some were jailed for possession of firearms. they have a journalist badge, but this is not the official press card — so with that badge they claim to be journalists. groups like reporters without borders refute that. they rank turkey 155th in their press freedom index. they say, "dozens of journalists have been imprisoned without trial, turning turkey into the world's biggest prison for media personnel". "those still free are exposed to.waves of trials, withdrawal of press cards, cancellation of passports, and seizure of assets". press freedom is also one of a multitude of reasons why turkey appears no closer tojoining the eu than it was when talks started 20 years ago. here's president erdogan on that. we are loyal to our word. if the eu bluntly says we will not
9:33 pm
be able to accept turkey into the eu this will be comforting for us. we will then initiate our plan b and see. the eu is not indispensable for us. turkey is able to stand on it's own two feet. our per capita income is more than $11,000 right now. we are relaxed. next qatar. turkey's been a strong supporter as qatar comes under severe pressure from neighbours like saudi arabia. drawn into a conflict. turkey is never in favour of muslims killing muslims in this region. we don't want to see muslims fighting with muslims. we are fed up with this. we don't want to see those
9:34 pm
developments which are happening in palestine and in libya. it's clear what's happening in syria. it's clear what's happening in iraq. turkey is paying the price because of these issues. we don't want this so because of that we don't accept this for qatar also. next, here's what zeinab made of the interview. what i took away from the interview, president of the gannon is someone very controversial, divisive at home and abroad. half the population enjoy them, almost revered him. think the strong leadership is just what turkey needs. the other half is absolutely opposed to him. unprecedented marches against him by the opposition in the past week or so. also turkey is a country that international community cares deeply about. if he is such a pivotal role,
9:35 pm
operating in a tough neighbourhood. second biggest standing army in nato. what matters in turkey matters to the international community. that is why it was really so important to try and gain insights into what the leader of turkey thinks on so many issues. looking forward to watching the home thing. you can see the interview this friday. if you want to watch the full interview — watch hardtalk this friday. we got a summary today of a british government review of how islamist extremists are funded. here it is. not the full thing though — that's been withheld for "national security" reasons. critics say this is because saudi arabia is named — and the uk sells saudi arabia a lot of military hardware. here's james landale. that will not satisfy critics,
9:36 pm
pressing for this report to be published for a long time. the government sitting on it for a long time. that is because the contents are believed by some, the government has my critics, to include quite critical remarks, about foreign governments accused of at least allowing the funding of extremist groups in the uk, by money he comes to the shores. particularly the gulf. that is why, people have been pushing for it. what we have today isa pushing for it. what we have today is a summary. today, tells us a couple of things. in the review of this, essentially saying most extremist groups in the uk, most of the funding comes from anonymous donations from within the uk. however for a donations from within the uk. howeverfor a small donations from within the uk. however for a small group, they do rely on overseas funding, but a small group.
9:37 pm
james mentioned some of the people who aren't happy. @carolinelucas caroline lucas, green party: "govt refuse to publish review into funding of extremism + try to fob us off with vague statement. not good enough". if she wants though, she can read it — mps can read the document as long as they don't reveal what's in it. uk home secretary is promising action on financial transparency. here's james landale again. exposing a bit more of what these groups do. a lot of them call themselves charities, they are charities. wide definition of what the charity is. explain to the public, do you know this is what they are involved in? get transparency of the financial services sector, which supports groups, allowing them to set up financial instruments to setup this. crucially the interesting bit, the government says it will ensure charities are regulated. all charities are regulated. all charities are regulated. all charities are to declare overseas funding. quite significant change. wimbledon.

winners. it appears that the hip injury which disrupted his build—up finally caught up with him. sam querrey will face marin cilic semifinal, the croat speeding giles muller in five sets. meanwhile, injury wednesday. novak djokovic bowing out of wimbledon. the second seed needed to win the title to return to the top of the world rankings. an elbow injury saw him pull out of the second set. in his quarterfinal against tomas berdych, lost the first set on down the second, called it a day. far more straightforward for seven time champion roger federer. ageing like fine wine. he cruised into the semifinals in straight sets, at the expense of milos raonic. federer made short work of last year's runner—up with a trademark display. he won his 100th singles match.
9:40 pm
you'd to put money on federer, getting his eighth title. he is the favourite. find out on friday whether he makes the final. you are selling it well. i will watch both the semifinals. the fight between floyd mayweather and connor mcgregor is just over a month away. hype's in full swing. somewhere between pantomine — and pantomine. they met face to face for the first time — in la. it's the first stop in a four city, three country promotional tour for the fight — so you can expect to see a whole lot more of this. 11,000 fans turned out for this event. some think the promotion of the fight might be more entertaining than the fight itself. we'll find out. here is what the pair said after the their first face to face meet.
9:41 pm
conor mcgregor has never had a professional boxing bout in his life. i'm pretty sure he anxious. i am just waiting. day after day, going to the gym and working. not as fast asi to the gym and working. not as fast as i used to be. not throwing, nations like use different. it will be intriguing matchup. very interesting. his little legs, little corn, head, i'm going to knock out inside four rounds. mark my words. that is the bit we could play you can he was swearing all the way through. this is mithali raj — not a household name like some indian cricketers — but that could be changing. today she became the all—time leading run scorer in women's one day international cricket. she did it by scoring 69 for india in their women's world cup group match against australia. she's now scored 6,028 runs. captain of the indian men's side virat kohli tweet @ikaohli a great moment for indian cricket — champion stuff!
9:42 pm
and this from the man who holds the record in the men's form of the game, sachin tendulkar... a huge achievement. also, superb knock today! stay with us on outside source — after the break we're going to turn to china because they're about to open their first international military base in the horn of africa. we'll look at out why. a gay man has won a landmark ruling at the supreme court which will give his husband the same pension rights as a wife would receive. the ruling could have a dramatic effect on the entitlement of thousands of people in same sex marriages or civil partnerships. clive coleman reports. victory after an 11—year
9:43 pm
legal battle. john walker worked for the company innospec the 23 years, paying into the firm's pension scheme. victory for basic fairness and decency... civil partnerships became legal in december 2005. shortly after, mr walker and his long—term partner entered into one. they are now married, but innospec, relying on an exemption in the equality act, refused to take account of his pension contributions before that date, dramatically reducing the pension mr walker's husband would receive. the highest court in the land found that an anomaly.
9:44 pm
if mr walker married a woman, even after his retirement, indeed even now, she would be entitled to a pension. the court ruled that eu equality law, any british exemption. mr walker's husband will be entitled to a spouse's pension on mr walker's death, provided of course that they remained married. it would be the same with anybody, whether it is a heterosexual couple or a same—sex couple ‘ someone you love, that person, you want to make sure is looked after as long as they are alive. i'm olderthan him, therefore statistically, the chances are that iwill die before him. i wanted to ensure he was looked after. the effect of today's ruling is massive. it doesn'tjust aboutjohn walker — it affects everyone who is in a civil partnership or same—sex marriage and that is whether they are paying into an occupational pension scheme with a private employer or within the public sector. supporters were thrilled, but the human rights group liberty which supported john walker sees a possible storm cloud on the horizon. it is only eu law that allowed him to win today. so obviously what mr walker wants to know and what liberty wants to know is what is going to happen to these rights when we leave the european union. the government says it's reviewing the ruling. john walker is happy that equality at the heart of civil partnerships and same—sex marriage has finally caught up with pensions, and there
9:45 pm
is a pot at the end of the rainbow. clive coleman, bbc news. president trump's eldest son has said he didn't tell his father about a meeting last year with a russian lawyer, who was apparently offering documents that would damage hillary clinton's campaign. the second round of brexit negotiations start next week. plenty of diplomatic jostling in advance. this was the british foreign secretary borisjohnson — on any long—term financial obligations the uk will owe to the eu because of brexit. the sums i've seen, they propose to
9:46 pm
demand from the country seem to be extortionate. go whistle is entirely appropriate expression was ‘go whistle', by the way, means to ask for something you don't have much chance of getting. today, the eu's brexit negotiator michel barnier responded to that comment. how i am not hearing any whistling, just the clock ticking. he worked on that line, it's done. this ‘exit bill‘ is one of the key sticking points. it could include the uk's share of eu commitments due before the brexit deadline, as well as pension payments for eu staff — amongst other obligations. michel barnier also mentioned the rights of eu citizens‘ in the uk — we already know the eu is not satisfied with the uk‘s current
9:47 pm
offer on that issue. and he said the european court ofjustice had to be the "ultimate guarantor" of those citizens rights — the uk government has ruled that out. something has to give. when you see this clip, you can see how he came to that conclusion. we have published nine new position papers so far. under different issues. the new positions are clear. we now need to know the uk‘s position on each of the issues, in
9:48 pm
order to make progress. we need to know which points we agree, at which point we disagree. so we can negotiate. in earnest. a paper from the uk government position outlining the uk government position outlining the position is set to be published on thursday. chinese troops are on their way to djibouti to set up beijing‘s first overseas military base. to djibouti to set up beijing‘s map they left from shan—jiang city in guangdong province on tuesday. here they are. the chinese say the base will facilitate peacekeeping and humanitarian aid and — and for military co—operation. djibouti is a tiny country at the horn of africa, and shares borders with eritrea, ethiopia and somalia. it‘s considered a favourable location, the us, japan and france also have military bases there,

because it sits near one of the world‘s busiest shipping routes on the suez canal. it‘s also seen as a stable country in an volatile region. the military is far from the limit of china‘s ambitions. next let‘s go to almaty in kazakhstan. we‘ve covered china‘s plans to create a new silk road trading route. the bbc‘s china editor carrie gracie is travelling along all 11,000km of it from china to the uk. here‘s her latest report. bells chime for two centuries, central asia was russia‘s backyard. kazakhstan got its independence when the soviet union collapsed. but russian remained the language of business — until now. this is china‘s new silk road in action. the economy slowing back home,

state construction companies put to work abroad. master builder xu xiwen, delivering a cutting—edge urban railway. translation: china‘s advanced technology is bringing convenience and more comfort and safety to travellers in kazakhstan. if this project goes well, it will serve as a model for others. china says its plans are for the benefit of all. but mostjobs here will go to chinese workers, and the loan was tied to a chinese design. it‘s not just building across central asia, china is buying into banks and oil fields too. some locals say they see no benefit. in one village, a kindergarten has become a hostel for chinese workers. ardak kubasheva complains of pollution, and jobs going to outsiders. translation: the chinese

9:52 pm
for our independence. why? because for china, kazakhstan is not an equal partner. for china, kazakhstan only is like one of the players, in the big china political game. that game stretches far beyond these mountains. but already it‘s changing lives, shaping the destiny of young nations in the shadow of the chinese giant. carrie gracie, bbc news, kazakhstan. a trillion—tonne iceberg has broken away from antarctica. map it‘s leaving the larsen c iceshelf which is on the eastern side of the antarctic peninsula. scientists have been monitoring the crack for a decade — so no surprise. a nasa satellite spotted the movement earlier.
