9:30 pm
hello, i'm ros atkins, this is outside source. in venezuela there's been an explosive accusation in the days after he took office backin in the days after he took office back in january, double in the days after he took office back injanuary, double spoke —— donald trump spoke to a number of world leaders. those transcripts have been released. denmark are through to the final of the women's european championships, will they face favourites england or hosts holland for the trophy on sunday? and we will find out what scottish whiskey has got to do with brexit. one of the leading thinkers in the

anglican church, the archbishop of canterbury is currently in a visit to uganda. this report from now. above the lush plains of uganda, two archbishops are on a mission, heading north towards refugee camps on the border with south sudan. the welcome they receive here is rapturous. but the conditions are horrendous. may i come in? thank you. the whole family sleeps here, it's very tough. it is horrible. there are nearly i
9:32 pm
it's very tough. it is horrible. there are nearlyi million south sudanese living in camps like this, after fleeing a brutal civil war with many families rushing to the border carrying only their children. god loves especially the refugee, the alien, the widow, the orphan. and that means he loves you, especially. while the archbishops of one mind in theirfor these refugees, there is another issue about which they are deeply divided. and it concerns not one country in one continent but the entire unity of the anglican communion. that number is almost 80 million christians in 165 nations. should you not be in the middle, your grace... these conservative evangelicals walked out on a global gathering of archbishops last year after the american episcopal church voted to endorse same—sex marriage. he says the bible teaches that
9:33 pm
marriage is between a man and woman, and that the growing ugandan church will not remain in fellowship with those who support same—sex unions. the next meeting of anglican leaders is in october. you have been invited to the meeting in october. will you be attending? no. i have made it clear i am not attending because of the position the church of ghana holds. and that is that her sexuality is wrong? —— homosexuality is wrong? you were asking about refugees, now you are focusing on that subject. i do not want to continue. he says he remains committed to the anglican union and will not be pulling the ugandan church out. although we have differences of agreement, of opinion, over issues around human sexuality, when we were dealing with refugees we were exactly on the same page. archbishopjustin molby concluded
9:34 pm
his visit i praying for peace and reconciliation in south sudan. a prayer he probably repeated privately for the church that he leads. martin beshir, bbc nears in northern uganda. england have been taking on the netherlands in the euro championship. the game hasjust about finished. tell us what's happening. i'm afraid to report for england fans that they have lost this semifinal 3—0. the third goal went on in the stroke of that time, see you can probably still here the cheers behind me. vivien medina gave the netherlands the lead in the first half and only one team in women's euro semifinal history have come back from a goal down at half—time to win and that was
9:35 pm
germany in 2009. it was not to be on this occasion. danielle vande dong scored the second goal for the netherlands, and the third was just said has gone on. england u nfortu nately for said has gone on. england unfortunately for their supporters waved their worst performance for the most important match of all. they had conceded just one goal in the tournament up until this point, scoring 11. it seemed the dream was alive. england chasing theirfirst ever major trophy in the women's competition. they reached the final of this tournament in 2009, losing to germany. then the semifinals of the world cup two years ago. this was the time that they expected themselves to go one step further. now the netherlands, the host, have had a fine tournament as well but they were the underdogs for this match. the big question was always could the 30,000 strong crowd behind us here proved the difference and pull them through? it seems it did. they produced an inspired
9:36 pm
performance with that first goal in the first half really creating an amazing atmosphere, then two goals to wrap it up. really disappointing for england, they will now lick their wounds on this defeat because their wounds on this defeat because the netherlands go on to face denmark in the final, denmark who beat austria earlier this evening on penalties, 3—0 on penalty kicks. it will be a netherlands against denmark final, england go home and this party here isjust denmark final, england go home and this party here is just getting started for the hosts. thank you, david. a disappointing night for england. boxing great vladimir klitschko has been announcing his retirement from the sports just months after his highly publicised bout against britain's anthonyjoshua. let's go over to the bbc sport centre. quite a career? absolutely. world champion, held the title from 2006 to 2015. you mention ourfight against anthonyjoshua, it could have gone his way in april when they
9:37 pm
fought a wembley, that much of a wembley was one of the greatest of all time. unfortunately for vladimir klitschko it was he who did not pick up klitschko it was he who did not pick up the win on that occasion. there was talk of a rematch between them in las vegas this year but klitschko has decided he is actually going to hang the gloves up. the man who was the olympics heavyweight champion, turned lamb and —— jam professional that year. age catches up with all of us at some point, whether male or female, but he had the best nickname in boxing, doctor steel hammer. he can speak four languages and holds a ph.d. in sports science and he knows a thing or two. and brains. over two cricket, turning to australia's cricketers, finally reaching a pay agreement. the ashes will go ahead because huge victory for the country's female athletes. huge for
9:38 pm
the females, they go for around 7 million australian dollars, around 53 million in pay when it comes to handing out money. that pay dispute has been finished since the end of june, so it has taken so long. both sides did not want to give anything away. there was talk of a mediator coming in. as it is, 230 players across both the men and women's have been effectively unemployed since that previous five—year agreement expired at the end ofjune. the biggest thing to come out of this is the damage to the grassroots game, that will need to be repaired, but the ashes goes ahead. the two test series against bangladesh goes ahead. of course, the most successful women's team, having won six world cup, they got knocked out in the semifinals recently. it is great news all round, and hopefully it builds through to the grassroots and gets them through to that side
9:39 pm
as well. thank you very much. the us government is considering plans to allow more oil exploration in the arctic ocean, overturning a ban put in place by president obama. in response — a coalition of native rights and conservation groups have called it unconstitutional and launched legal action. one indigenous group in northern alaska could feel the greatest impact of any drilling — our environment correspondent claire marshall travelled 500 kilometres north of the arctic circle, and sent this report. the climate is changing, and the ice that covers the arctic is disappearing. here the conflict between the natural world and the business of oil is at its most stark. this town is the furthest north in the united states, so remote it is cut off by road from the rest of the country. the inupiat call the ocean their garden. and this is where they store the harvest of whale meat. is that kidney?
9:40 pm
if that's kidney put it on top of the heart. i don't know where the heart is. it's right in front of you. this is an ice cellar dug out of the permafrost, the perfect freezer. it helps to sustain them during the long arctic winter. back up. as your mouth starts to warm it up, it softens up like chocolate. it's a richness you can't get from anything else. so take that one. i'lljust have a little one. put it on your tongue. don't try and chew it real fast, just kind of let it dissolve a little bit in your mouth. then start chewing it. but it should... it's not oily. it's not like crisco oil. no. no, it's not my thing. i don't mind the meat, i don't mind the meat of it, but i'm not mad on that. hunters always have a knife on them. we use white because the whales can see colour. niaomi is a whale hunter. she takes us to a feast on the beach.
9:41 pm
the inupiat have hunted the bowhead whale in their sealskin boats for thousands of years. now donald trump intends to reverse the ban on drilling in the arctic ocean. and many are afraid they will lose their way of life. i honestly want to be at the shore and tell him no, you can't. i mean, just imagine if there were to be a big spill in the ocean. none of this would be happening right now. but like the rest of alaska, this town is almost entirely dependent on oil. taxes on the industry in other parts of the country pay for the infrastructure and every alaskan gets a yearly cash dividend. we will start slicing it all off. fred brower believes that oil is the only way they can carry on hunting. you can't go whaling for free. it costs money to go whaling. so there's an opportunity to coexist together. and an opportunity for not only industry to thrive but also the local traditional hunters.
9:42 pm
we are closer to the north pole here than we are to washington, dc. but the white house has its eyes firmly fixed on this region. it is an unstable world and what lies beneath this ice could be crucial to the energy security of the united states. but drilling here would be very risky, just as it is risky to hunt. armed in case of polar bears, some other hunters take us out to the very top of america. the arctic is warming twice as fast as anywhere else on the planet. most scientists agree that oil, a fossilfuel, is helping to bring about this change. i love my people and i love my land. maybe we should start looking ahead for something that's more renewable. maybe wind in the winter and solar in the summer. any options are better. traditional inupiat dances tell the stories of their land and its creatures.
9:43 pm
donald trump and his decisions may well be woven into the songs of the future. claire marshall, bbc news. stay with us on outside source — still to come. we're going to look at why scotland's whisky producers are in such good spirits as we move nearer to brexit. a surgeon who was jailed after carrying out unnecessary breast operations has had his sentence increased. the court of appeal ruled that ian paterson's initial fifteen—year jail term was unduly lenient and raised it to 20 years. our health editor hugh pym reports. that's now been increased to 20 years... yes! tracy and deborah, two of ian paterson's victims. news of the higher sentence was just what they'd hoped for. i felt very emotional. we wanted the right decision.
9:44 pm
the increase has given the right message. we've all got life sentences. but 20 years, to me, at least he'll serve a significant sentence. court of appealjudges said no sentence could properly reflect the suffering of paterson's patients, and they ruled he should serve an extra five years. the government lawyer who challenged the original sentence said justice had been done. the substantial increase in the sentence, to 20 years, sends out a clear message to the wider community that our system will not tolerate such egregious breaches of trust. paterson, seen here before his sentencing, mutilated patients after deceiving them into unnecessary surgery. he watched today's hearing by videolink from prison, at times shaking his head when details of his offences were described. that angered john, who was in court today. he was talked into a double mastectomy by paterson.
9:45 pm
still shaking his head in disbelief, still muttering to himself when he doesn't agree with what's being said about him. it makes me wonder if 30 years would be enough for him to find anything within himself that doesn't say, oh, i'm completely innocent of everything. tracy and deborah weren't part of the criminal case, but they aren't hundreds more of paterson's victims are seeking damages from the hospitals where the rogue surgeon worked. a court hearing is due in a few months‘ time. hugh pym, bbc news. a benefit cheat has been sent to jail. mark lloyd received thousands
9:46 pm
of pounds in personal independence payments. transcripts of conversations president trump had with world leaders after he took office have been published by the washington post. marcus hutchins, the british computer expert who helped shut down a world—wide cyber attack that crippled the nhs, has been arrested in the us — and charged by the us department ofjustice for creating malware. let's go over to dave in lee san francisco for more. remind us first of marcus hutchins is. marcus hutchins is a 23—year—old british man, he inadvertently became something of a cyber hero in may when he registered an internet domain name with the intention of tracking a huge cyber attack, the
9:47 pm
wannacry attack which affected the nhs and many other institutions. he wa nted nhs and many other institutions. he wanted to track that that actually managed to inadvertently shot it down. he was heralded as being very useful in stopping the spread of that very troubling a cyber attack. now it appears he has been arrested, we understand he was arrested at las vegas airport, he was travelling home from a hacking conference which took place last week, he has been arrested and he has been charged with six counts relating to a different type of malware called chronos. chronos was able to steal banking details from its victims. the fbi accused marcus hutchins of being instrumental in creating and distributing that strain of malware. so this indictment relates to incidents dating back to 2014, 2015? yes. the first instance of that attack being known in 2014. it resurfaced in 2016, and it was not
9:48 pm
until now that we have heard more information about that attack the coming public. in the documents released by the fbi today, they said marcus hutchins was a key part of that. it's worth saying many security experts have been on twitter this afternoon with complete disbelief at this news. one prominent expert said it sounds like the fbi has made a terrible mistake. there is a hearing coming up, we are likely to hear more about specifics of what marcus hutchins is alleged to have done, but for the time being a very surprising turn for someone who like i say, just in may was heralded as a cyber hero. to recap, what do we believe will happen to him now? he is being held somewhere where we do not know, a centre in nevada somewhere, he has been transferred from there. we do not know where he is being held now. of
9:49 pm
course it is up to the fbi to make their case as to why they feel he is responsible. often as we have found in many instances, the creators of this virus software is, this malware, it's very hard to pinpoint exactly where the root cause is. it's quite a task to do that, but judging by the court documents the fbi have put out today, they seem pretty certain. we are yet to hear the defence from marcus hutchins. thanks, and well done for persevering despite the unintended interruption! michelle carter, the young american woman who urged her boyfriend to commit suicide, has been sentenced to two and a half years in prison. she was convicted of involuntary manslaughter in massachusetts after he boyfriend, conrad roy, killed himself when he was 18 years old. we can cross now to rajini vaidyanathan in washington. this was a very controversial and very distressing case. in that trial
9:50 pm
she was convicted last month, the judge decided she was guilty of, as you say, in voluntary manslaughter, in terms of encouraging her boyfriend conrad roy's suicide. the court was presented with dozens of text messages that she sent him, i will share too with you now. in one she said, hang yourself, jump off a building, stab yourself, i don't know, there's lots of ways. in another she asked, how hard are you going to try? ultimately she was on the phone to conrad roy when he was ina car the phone to conrad roy when he was in a car park, and tried to poison himself with carbon monoxide. he was having second thoughts and found michelle carter, she encouraged him despite having second thoughts to ta ke despite having second thoughts to take his own life and he died after that. today, his father spoke before the courts during that sentencing hearing, describing his son as his best friend. his father said michelle carter exploited my son ‘s wea kness michelle carter exploited my son ‘s weakness and used him as a pawn in
9:51 pm
her own well—being. the judge did say that she was a bright lady, mindful of her actions, and that's why he decided to sentence her to two and a half years. she only has to serve 15 months of those in prison. she will be getting some rehabilitation. the family of conrad roy did want her to get between 7012 yea rs roy did want her to get between 7012 years in prison. thank you very much. -- between seven and 12 years. so what's scottish whisky got to do with brexit? well, for one thing during the eu referendum many of the country's producers were big supporters of the remain campaign. but now it seems many have had a change of heart — buoyed up by the prospect of one—off trade deals with countries like india where they currently face massive tariffs. our scotland editor, sarah smith, has been talking to some of them. the barley, the water, the weather make islay malts unique, and on this small island, whisky is very big business. almost 90% of scotland's amber liquor is exported overseas,
9:52 pm
so brexit will certainly be felt here. small distilleries like kilchoman don't want to lose the protected status for scotch whisky offered by eu law and they worry about the bureaucracy that leaving the single market might entail. whereas it was very easy to export into europe, it's now going to be a little bit more difficult. and certainly, for smaller companies, i think that will have an impact, because of the amount of people that we have to comply with all the new regulations. many of the island's distilleries are owned by big firms that supported remaining inside the eu. but they're now eyeing up the opportunities brexit could bring. the whisky industry is hoping to expand sales in countries outside the eu, countries like india, for instance, which currently slaps a whopping great 150% tariff on scotch. if a new bilateral trade deal could eliminate or slash those tariffs, sales would increase enormously. the uk government can't guarantee tariff—free trade,
9:53 pm
but say there is now the opportunity to try. as part of this new arrangement, in a post—eu world, where we're negotiating the tariffs, we're not bound in by eu terms, we're able to negotiate our own terms, and getting the right deal for the whisky industry is one of our priorities. scotch whisky is a valuable product, contributing about £5 billion a year to the uk economy, supporting 30,000 jobs and making many drinkers happy. it's an industry that first feared brexit, and now hopes to make it work for them. once we leave the eu, we would be the uk negotiating free trade deals, rather than a bloc. and so, that simplifies the negotiations, to a degree. and so, yes, we hope that it will be easierfor the uk to negotiate a free—trade deal with, for example, india. the economy of islay runs on whisky. much of scotland's economy relies
9:54 pm
on this water of life. and they're now looking beyond the shores of europe to try and make the best of brexit. sarah smith, bbc news, islay. just before we go let's bring you up with the news, in the past hour neymar has completed his world record transfer to paris st germain. he has signed a five—year contract with the french club, the 25—year—old brazilian earlier broke his contract with barcelona, he paid that $264 million buyout clause, he is going to earn around 45 million euros a year. that is 865,000 euros a week. outside source will be back at the same time on monday, thank you for watching. low pressure is in control at the
9:55 pm
moment. while that remains the case, we are going to struggle to see much in the way of settled summer weather. it was certainly quite u nsettled weather. it was certainly quite unsettled on thursday. southern areas were very windy but at least that meant the sack the showers blew through quite quickly. the winds we re through quite quickly. the winds were lighter but there were lots of showers, some heavy and banbury, particularly across northern and eastern scotland. that delivered some really impressive cloudscape is for our weather watchers here, but if you are on your summer holidays you might we have been for a bit more blue sky than that. what about the prospects for the next three days? low pressure still firmly on the scene on friday. to the north—east at this stage, so it is closest to the centre of the low when we will see most of the showers, particularly across scotland. the further south you look you can view fewer showers, more in the way of drier weather. some spells of sunshine, the winds lighter than they were during thursday, and some warmth to be had,
9:56 pm
particularly across the south—east, 22 to 23 degrees. into the start of the weekend, we are stranded between high pressure which is trying to muscle in from the south—west and low pressure, which is hanging around up to the north—east. that will bring a north—westerly wind, never a particularly warm wind direction. quite a few showers across central areas we suspect, and temperatures just 16 to 20 degrees. high—pressure manages to bulge at swaying as we go into sunday. looks like it will try to take control. they will give us a fine start to sunday, quite a school start as well, but the high does not manage to hold on. an area of low pressure begins to journey to hold on. an area of low pressure begins tojourney in to hold on. an area of low pressure begins to journey in from the west. it is low pressure that is with us again into the start of next week. frontal systems pushing across the country, this cold front here could be really quite active, could bring a band of really heavy rains upwards
9:57 pm
and eastwards with the odd rumble of thunder. this temperature is still a little disappointing at 16 to 20 degrees. that wainman should clear way on tuesday, what does that leave behind? you guessed it. a mixture of sunshine and showers. what is going on? if we look at the broader picture, we can see the way the jet dives southwards in this bend in the jet stream, we will have an area of low pressure. look further west than you notice the way the jet stream flows upwards, this rich, it is within that that high pressure will be sitting in place. through the middle part of the coming week, it looks like this ridge of high pressure will build its way northwards and pete wentz, cutting off these atlantic weather systems. stopping them from working across the country. the big question is how much influence will this high—pressure have? there's a chance might build northwards across the whole country, if that happens all of us will get into more settled
9:58 pm
summer weather, but there's also a chance the high will only make it in across the southern part of the country, allowing pressure to affect the north, bringing more cloud and outbreaks of rain. to summarise, southern areas will turn driver there is still the chance of some rain in the north. temperatures may claim a little for some, there is no heat wave on the way. that's all for me for now, goodbye. tonight at ten, the bank of england cuts growth forecasts for the economy, saying the squeeze on family incomes will continue. as demonstrators, including the bank's own employees, protest over wages, the governor mark carney says uncertainty around brexit is hitting businesses and households. as the consequences of sterling's fall have shown up in the shops and squeezed their real incomes, they've cut back on spending, slowing the economy. the bank has kept interest rates on hold at 0.25%, to ease pressure on what mr carney calls a "sluggish economy."
9:59 pm
also tonight... ajudge has condemned mental health support for young people in england as "disgraceful and utterly shaming," as the authorities struggle to find suitable care for one suicidal teenager. a british computer expert who helped shut down the recent hacking of nhs systems has been arrested in america, accused of links
