hello, this is outside source. the lead story, the trump administration told it was good to scrap the scheme told it was good to scrap the scheme to protect young undocumented immigrant in the us from deportation. an open-ended circumvention of immigration law that was an unconstitutional exercise of authority by the executive branch. vladimir putin is warning the world that a military stand—off with north korea threatened a global catastrophe. the australian high court is hearing a legal challenge to a proposed postal vote on the legalisation of same—sex marriage. a report coming up. as russia continues to battle the islamic state group in syria, we will have the extraordinary story of the mountainous province of dagestan which has become a key recruiting ground for i!. and in the sport we will have the latest on the world cup qualifiers. —— recruiting ground for isis. and we have the story of
9:31 pm
two kite surfers who are trying to set a world record by travelling 1500 kilometres nonstop. president trump cut straight to it on twitter this morning, telling congress to get ready to do its job. he wrote daca, a reference to the deferred action for childhood arrivals which he wants to scrap. it could affect hundreds of thousands of immigrants. it was a system which president obama introduced which allowed people who were brought to the us illegally as children do have a temporary right to live, study and work legally in the us. president trump wants it gone and his attorney general explained why. trump wants it gone and his attorney general explained whyli trump wants it gone and his attorney general explained why. i am here to announce that the programme known as
9:32 pm
da ca announce that the programme known as daca is being rescinded. do have a lawful system of immigration that serves the national interest we cannot admit everyone who would like to come here. it isjust cannot admit everyone who would like to come here. it is just that simple. that would be an open borders policy and the american people have rightly rejected that. therefore the nation must set and enforce a limit on how many immigrants we admit each year and that means all cannot be accepted. this does not mean they are bad people ought that our nation this respect or demeaned them in any way also it means we are properly enforcing our laws as congress has passed them. let's look at the practicalities. we have been live to new york and washington but now to miami. luiz, does this mean thousands of people in florida will
9:33 pm
need to leave? the details are not com pletely need to leave? the details are not completely clear right now. there are about 800,000 so—called dreamers, a lot in california and texas and also in florida. the government says there will be a six—month period the people currently in the system and they could find a more permanent solution and legislation which is what the trump administration says is needed if this programme is to continue. they say they will not accept any more daca applications into the system but this creates a very large degree of uncertainty for the 800,000 people, mostly mexican americans. there are 600,000 people of mexican origin who are part of this programme and they are not sure what will happen in six months if congress does not act to create a more stable legislative framework. explain to viewers who have not
9:34 pm
heard about the scheme, getting a da ca heard about the scheme, getting a daca permit can be a transformative moment for these young people? definitely. there are many stories that have been covered in the media here about how these people in many cases overcame very substantial odds to arrive to university, perhaps the first in their family to do that. some of them served in the armed forces, but they were not part of the legal system in the us and daca created an expectation of a regular means of staying in the country. it also incorporated them into legality, into the formal labour market in the us soap all kinds of benefits. the other thing that a lot of them say is important for them they have lived in many cases many yea rs, they have lived in many cases many years, spending their entire lives here, and they faced the prospect of
9:35 pm
deportation to a country they barely know having left when they were two or three years old in some cases. for many practical purposes they have grown up as americans and they do not see themselves as anything other than that and that is what it has created so much uncertainty and distress in particular in the hispanic community but in many others as well. thank you very much. bbc news is notjust producing stories in english, we are working in well over 25 languages. switching from miami to australia and a postal vote on same—sex marriage is planned there but it could be stopped. campaigners have taken the issue to the high court with the argument that the cost of the vote, $100 million, was not allocated through the correct processes. they want the matter to be dealt with by parliament and not in a national vote. here is our sydney
9:36 pm
correspondent. it's a battle which australia's politicians have struggled with for years. now it is up to the courts to decide if a vote on same—sex marriage should go ahead. opinion polls suggest most australians support marriage equality but at the moment only gay couples with a british passport can legally marry here. some fear the eight—week—long national postal vote will stoke homophobia and undermine any change. we have already seen an intense amount of hatred and vitriol come out through that campaigns as well as ludicrous accusations like, you know, children of gay parents have all these problems in school, and that's very problematic for us. the two—day court hearing has drawn intense scrutiny, becoming a test of the government's authority is and its determination to put the question to the nation. given the undoubted powers under the constitution and given the relevant legislation, the government is confident we have the constitutional and legal authority to conduct the australian
9:37 pm
marital postal survey in the form as proposed. those challenging the vote say the $100 million survey is a high price to pay. we hope finally our federal parliament will stop delaying, stop dragging this out and finally deliver on the settled will of the australian people to allow all australians to be able to marry the person they love in the country that they love. with ballot papers due to be sent out in a week, the court's decision is expected to be swift. but it is unlikely to bring an end to one of the most divisive issues in australian life. hywel griffith, bbc news. now the sport and we begin with the world cup qualifiers and a number of teams are certain to go to russia for the tournament next year but they are all being overshadowed by these guys, the syrian team. they are not quite there but still very much in it thanks to quite a match.
9:38 pm
we can go to be bbc sport centre. stories don't get much better than this? this is a terrific story, syria keep the dream alive and they are playing australia over tee legs with the winners playing someone from north and central america and that could still be the united states —— over tee legs. the biggest story in the last hour is saudi arabia going through to the world cup. they are the first arabic nation at the showpiece event since 2006 and they willjoin iran, japan, south korea, brazil, mexico, belgium and hosts russia in the 32 team tournament. a second—half winner helped them beat japan 1—0. tournament. a second—half winner helped them beatjapan1—0. it tournament. a second—half winner helped them beat japan 1—0. it takes them to their fifth world cup and sends australia to the play—offs. australia needed a big win over thailand in order to confirm their place. tomijuric put
9:39 pm
thailand in order to confirm their place. tomi juric put them ahead but with eight minutes to go thailand equalised. poor defence but a pretty good goal. mathew leckie of hertha berlin got the winner for the socceroos but saudi arabia's superior goal difference meant australia were pushed into third place and they will face syria in the play—offs. place and they will face syria in the play-offs. if we had got one a bit earlier, and open them up a bit, but... likei bit earlier, and open them up a bit, but... like i said, it is heartbreaking for the players. i thought they did not get their rewards tonight for a brilliant performance. that was ange postecoglou, the australian coach. syria drew 2—2 to finish third in the group. they broke through the iranian defence for the first in the
9:40 pm
13th minute with a close range header. and iran then went ahead 2—1 but syria pushed for an equaliser and it came three minutes into stoppage time. this secured the fairy tale comeback and a play—off for them. you and everyone else in australia were rooting for your team and everybody else for the other‘s?! i don't know! i am being impartial for the bbc! but the 31 qualifiers taking place across the globe on tuesday, there is a full list on the website. a lot is happening across europe as you can appreciate. we don't have time to go through them all but if your country is playing you can get it on the bbc sport website and the app. one more quick line, online ticket sales for the
9:41 pm
winter olympics next year open in south korea on tuesday and organisers admit far fewer places have been sold up the growing concerns over north korea's nuclear plans. the games take place in the country arguably with a limited winter sports tradition, far from the core markets of europe and north america so local attendance is crucial to ensure those grandstands are full. thank you. good to speak to you as always. one more thing, check these guys out, two kite servers are attempting a world record, trying to travel further than any team has done in one go. they are attempting to travel 1500 kilometres nonstop, which would break their own record. it is expected to take five days and in that time there will not be any land in sight but they will have support. the motivation to overcome
9:42 pm
such a long distance is the feeling of achieving a goal that sometimes can look impossible but then with good preparation, a good team and training you can reach it. the biggest danger during this challenge will be hitting a container during the night or even during the day. nowadays, big ships, when there is a storm they can easily lose those containers and if we get one, either me or the support boat, it will cause severe damage to us. nervous, for sure, but in a very good way. i am very comfortable with the team. it's nice to actually have a team partner at this time, were you know someone is in the exact same mindset and you just want to go. if you just trust your strengths, you kind of, how do we say in yoga, breathe over the pain and continue to go. take note of that, everything will be fine! this was a story from last year, a lot of wales in northern
9:43 pm
europe were beaching —— a lot of whales. scientists think it is to do with how they navigate and the northern lights are also involved. four serving members of the army have been arrested under anti—terror laws on suspicion of being a member ofa laws on suspicion of being a member of a band neo—nazi group. a fifth person, a civilian, has also been arrested on the same charge. the bbc understands one of the soldiers was detained in cyprus, the army confirmed the arrests and said it supported the operation. four the men are being held at a west midlands police station. police say there were a 22—year—old from birmingham, a 32—year—old from powers, a 24—year—old from ipswich and a 24—year—old from northampton. tom symons has more. the bbc‘s been told three of the men are members of the royal anglian regiment,
9:44 pm
which recruits in norfolk, suffolk, essex and cambridgeshire. four were arrested in the uk, one in cyprus. an army spokesman said... that group is national action, which described itself last year in the language of hitler's fascism, as a national socialist youth movement. its members marched the streets. the focus was as much on spreading neo—nazi ideas online. but experts say the far right is not well supported. i think extreme right groups in britain and others like britain first are very good these days at creating a sense of greater scale using social media than is actually the case. probably with national action, we're looking at people in the tens to perhaps the low hundreds at very best. but when the labour mpjo cox was murdered by a loner influenced
9:45 pm
by similar far right propaganda, the government acted, proscribing or banning national action. despite their name, national action seeks to divide communities and stir up hatred. they are entirely contrary to the interests of our nation. proscribing this neo—nazi group will prevent its membership growing, prevent them spreading propaganda which allows a culture of hatred and division to thrive. legally, the group should not now exist but police in birmingham are questioning five suspected members under counterterrorism laws, while searches of properties are carried out. this is outside source, our lead story is from washington where the trump and demonstration has
9:46 pm
announced plans to scrap a scheme which protect young, undocumented immigrant in the us from deportation. next on the programme, we wa nt deportation. next on the programme, we want to talk about dagestan. this isa we want to talk about dagestan. this is a russian republic in the volatile north caucasus region. if you ask vladimir putin how many russian citizens fight for islamic state in syria, the last time he talked about it he estimated it to be 4000. many of those come from dagestan. the bbc‘s steve rosenberg has been there and this was his report. they used to believe that this was where the gods and demons did battle. in dagestan today, the battle cry is jihad. for people have been leaving these mountains for a holy war. artur says his wife was drawn to radical islam. one day, without telling him, she took their two daughters and left for syria to join so—called islamic state. desperate to rescue his children,
9:47 pm
artur smuggled himself into a isis controlled territory in syria. he found his kids. to escape from the caliphate, they headed for the turkish border. translation: i picked up my little girl and told my other daughter, run! my youngest started crying and i tripped, ifell three times. the turkish border guards were just 50 metres away and they began shooting. we dived into an irrigation ditch and hid there with bullets flying overhead. then we escaped through some long grass and i saw the moon and the cornfields. it was paradise. soon they were back home. the nightmare was over. my youngest daughter asked me later, "how come everyone else has a mother and i don't?" but i know the girls are still in touch with their
9:48 pm
mother on social media. i'm not going to stop them. of course they miss her. it is not only from this house, this village, that people have moved to syria. dagestan has become a key recruiting ground for islamic state. the authorities here say 1200 dagestanis have gone to fight in syria. that means that relative to its population, this part of russia has produced ten times more jihadists than belgium, which is europe's top source of fighters for the caliphate. but why? what has been drawing dagestanis to syria ? marat says he was brainwashed by radical preachers online also he had abandoned his pregnant wife in dagestan forjihad in syria. he has now deserted isis. translation: i felt my sole duty was to wage holy war against infidels. i realise now i made a mistake. it was not a holy war
9:49 pm
at all, it was just muslims fighting muslims. some claim the authorities have made the situation worse. in this town i am shown the mosque of a fundamentalist branch of islam. police have shut it down. shamsuddin used to pray there. he admits that up to six members of the congregation have left for syria but closing the mosque, he says, is no solution. when the young people are here with us, he says, we can keep an eye on them. but shut the mosque and the young people leave. who knows where they go and what they are doing? islam is part of the fabric of life in these mountains. but the kind of islam the authorities want people here to embrace is an islam that preaches tolerance and supports the government. so that dagestanis will not feel the need to go and fight a holy war.
9:50 pm
steve rosenberg, bbc news, dagestan. if you are a regular viewer you know we have an hour of international news and we have had reports from dagestan, portugal, bangladesh, the us and the uk and next we turn to brazil because police have been searching the country's olympic association headquarters and also it chief and his home, carlos nuzman, who headed the successful bid for rio to host the 2016 olympics. the police are saying they have strong evidence of vote buying. earlier i spoke to camilla costa in sao paulo for the latest. what happens at this point is that the police had been investigating this massive corruption scheme in brazil for the past three years. now, in collaboration with the french authorities and american authorities, they have reached a new layer that might involve the bidding of rio to be the olympic games host
9:51 pm
city in 2016. what they have found out, what they say is that one of rio's top executives had been in a sort of cash for top executives had been in a sort of cash for votes scheme involving the government of the state of rio. and this executive had paid african members of the international olympic committee for their votes in the bidding for rio. presumably those being investigated deny doing anything wrong? yes, obviously they do deny and actually the president of the brazilian olympic committee has been taken in for questioning and his lawyer denies any kind of allegations and says that rio's election happened without any kind of corruption scheme and the executive in question, arthur suarez, actually has not been arrested by the police. they did look for him today but he is considered to be running away from them and
9:52 pm
they say is probably in the united states right now. let's go back to early 2016. 29 pilot whales washed up on different beachesin pilot whales washed up on different beaches in northern europe. in the uk and france and the netherlands and also in germany and scientists we re and also in germany and scientists were puzzled. they did autopsies but they found they were well fed, young and disease free but they have come up and disease free but they have come up with a theory. they believe this could have been connected to solar storms and how they disrupted the way the animals navigated. mat mcbriar explains more. —— matt mcgrath. crowds gathered at hunstanton, on the coast of norfolk, in february 2016, to see this ocean giant washed up on a popular tourist beach. all around the north sea, more than two dozen other sperm whales were found stranded in the first two months of last year. scientists were extremely puzzled — the creatures were young, healthy and generally disease—free.
9:53 pm
now it's thought the northern lights may have played a role in the losses. the aurora are the visible evidence of large solar storms, which distort the earth's magnetic field. this can cause species that rely on that field for navigation, like sperm whales, to lose their way. after big solar storms in december 2015, scientists say the confused creatures swam into the shallow north sea and beached themselves, trying to find a way out. researchers at london zoo autopsied a number of the whales stranded on british shores. we know that sperm whales are stranded around the north sea for many, many years historically and it's certainly a possible factor in this instance that we have these whales that got into the north sea for an unknown reason and then once they are in there, they cannot find their way out and they become so disorientated, dehydrated and then strand. so that's what happened in last year's events. why did they end up there in the first place? to be honest, i think we will never know. there is too much uncertainty around the events in this instance in terms of where they were,
9:54 pm
where they came from, and so on. and so i think we will really never know what really caused last year's events. proving the impact of geomagnetic storms on the strandings of sperm whales may well be impossible, however researchers here at london zoo and a team at nasa are actively investigating the impact of solar activities on the strandings of species around the world. the results in that study are due in the next month or so. that might shed some definitive light on the role of solar storms on species. matt mcgrath, bbc news. tomorrow i am travelling to germany and on thursday i will be live with you from cologne as we bring you the latest on the german election campaign. i will see you then and we will be back with outside source tomorrow. good night. hello. the weather headlines for the
9:55 pm
next few days are likely to be dominated by hurricane irma but back closer to home, things have been a bit quieter. we had some rain on tuesday as you can see here. for the second consecutive day it was dorset that had the brakes in cloud and the sunshine. things will change, a fresh appealing as we start to see a few more isobars on the chart and the wind swinging around to a fresh westerly a nd the wind swinging around to a fresh westerly and it looks like when states will be pretty quiet with some decent breaks in the cloud and some decent breaks in the cloud and some sunshine with the westerly wind feeding ina some sunshine with the westerly wind feeding in a bit more cloud from the coast and we could see a scattering of showers. top temperatures down in comparison to the last few days, 14-20d is comparison to the last few days, 14—20d is the hype. we continue with this story and the weather will turn pressure through wednesday night and in more rural parts temperatures could reach a single figures but in the far north and west the cloud and
9:56 pm
rain will gather them an indication of what is to come as we move to thursday. there is an area of low pressure that will move in bringing some rain, some heavy come across scotla nd some rain, some heavy come across scotland and northern ireland. for england and wales, not bad to start thursday, fine and dry with a bit more cloud in sheltered south—east areas but by the end of the day that rain will spill further south into northern england and perhaps north wales. temperatures more subdued, 13-15d but the wales. temperatures more subdued, 13—15d but the highest of 20 in the south—east. moving into friday, that area of low pressure will move further south and east and it could be more significant for all of us on friday. they will be some rain for all of us at some point, starting pretty wet and miserable in central and southern parts will stop behind that fund there will be squally showers developing with some hail and thunder and the wind driving the showers across the north—west coast,
9:57 pm
13-18d. showers across the north—west coast, 13—18d. temperatures are bit subdued for the first week of september. moving out of friday, but low— pressure moving out of friday, but low—pressure anchors itself across the far north and that will always feed in these showers into the north and west coast with the wind from the north, never a warm source, 13-15d, the north, never a warm source, 13—15d, possibly up to 19 in the south—east. it looks like as we start sunday things will quieten down but not for long. another area of low pressure arising from the atla ntic of low pressure arising from the atlantic and this will sweep quickly south and east. about is bright and bright start in the south—east but the cloud will gather and the rain arrives and wet and windy weather comes into scotland and northern ireland and eventually england and wales in the latter stages of sunday. if this area of low pressure is in this position on monday it could be potentially a stormy day with plenty of isobars in that area of low pressure, quite unusual for the first week of september. but
9:58 pm
some good news, things look likely to calm down as we see this area of high pressure building and this is a blocking high and it will prevent those mobile westerly fronts moving in the atlantic so things will be quieter with lighter winds but the wind direction always from the north so cooler by day and particularly at night with the chance of some frost. tonight at 10... the british soldiers arrested on suspicion of belonging to a banned neo—nazi group. the men, arrested across england and wales, are alleged to be members of national action, a far—right group banned last year. the five, some thought to be from the royal anglian regiment, were arrested on suspicion of preparing acts of terrorism. the group was banned in the wake of the murder ofjo cox, the mp killed by a white supremacist. also tonight... the little girl murdered
