hello, welcome to outside source. in las vegas, donald trump has been speaking and visiting hospitals were many survivors of sunday's attack remain. it makes you proud to be an american. when you see the job that they have done. and people who would not be around today, they are up there and they will be leaving the hospital in two weeks or five weeks. in some cases, even a few days. the cata la n in some cases, even a few days. the catalan president says the result of sunday's independence referendum has to be applied and he has criticised king felipe who called the vote illegal. theresa may gave a hugely important speech earlier at the party conference for the conservatives but it did not go to plan... we will never... coughing excuse me, hesitate to act where businesses are not operating as they should. the bbc's political editor laura kuenssberg described it as a

nightmare speech. you can find out more on the bbc website. more important developments in catalonia's push for independence from spain. in the last 90 minutes the catalan president said the result of the independence referendum on sunday has to be applied. remember, the spanish government does not recognise the vote but the regional government says 90% of the people voted in favour of independence. this is the president saying... he goes on... well, in the last few minutes we have had a response from the spanish prime minister, saying... this ties in with the

central argument of the spanish government, that the vote on sunday was illegal. nonetheless, it looks like a declaration of independence could be just days away. so, like a declaration of independence could bejust days away. so, if like a declaration of independence could be just days away. so, if that we re could be just days away. so, if that were to happen, what would happen next? here is gavin lee. what would happen on monday? this is what we expect. there would be an extraordinary meeting called for by the president carles puigdemont. he didn't say anything today about the transition but there was an act called the transition to independence voted for in the cata la n independence voted for in the catalan parliament last month, the spanish and madrid government were an uproar because they did not get a say. they will look at the vote in parliament on monday about enacting that. talking about judicial parliament on monday about enacting that. talking aboutjudicial powers and powers of the police. at that moment, spanish submit admire never wholly, the prime minister, talked about article 155 of the constitution which takes back powers

from the catalan government. we are talking precipice politics. the ppe party of mariano rawhide and in catalonia, —— mariano rajoy, they wa nt catalonia, —— mariano rajoy, they want organised protests and demonstrations. they want people to show that they are the voice for unity and we may see, or we may not, in the coming days. i wanted to ask about those people. is there a way of gauging how many people in catalonia do not want this to happen? it is fascinating. yesterday, there were a lot of people with the catalan flag and a lot of people with the spanish flag. you have covered scenes of demonstrations and so have i with referendums and elections worldwide. i was amazed by how peaceable it was yesterday. you saw the signs and sounds that it was visible and now but people are coming together to say no matter what, they were condemning this violence. i was in barcelona, an hour and a half

north—east, where there was trouble with police there on sunday. i walked down the high street and either side of the road there were people on opposite sides showing where they stood on this. it splits families, people who believe they are being torn apart. you will see behind me on the street it is calm and people are enjoying their evening in the middle of barcelona. we are days from an unprecedented moment, a threat to break off. and this is another element of the story, the eu has been responding to the crisis... the european commission has called on all relevant actors to move quickly from confrontation to dialogue. the power of dialogue, of sitting down and talking to one another, even if and talking to one another, even if and especially when we passionately disagree is what our union is built

on. all lines of communication must stay open. it's time to talk, to find a way out of the end pass, working within the constitutional order of spain. all of this is consistent with what the eu has said all along, that this crisis is an internal matter for spain. franz timmons, we saw him there, defended the government's right to keep the peace using force. that statement was in the european parliament during a debate on the subject. the bbc‘s and fleming was watching. during a debate on the subject. the bbc's and fleming was watching. they we re bbc's and fleming was watching. they were divided along party lines, the centre—right liberals and the ce ntre—left centre—right liberals and the centre—left broadly backed the european commission stance that this was an internal spanish matter and not one where the eu should intervene. on the other side of the argument, the greens and the far left, with much more sympathy for the catalan independence cause. and

more eurosceptic parties were critical of the commission saying that perhaps they would handle the issue differently if it happened in a country like poland or hungry. some meps were angry that it wasn't a proper debate at all and not enough people have the chance to speak. after the debate i bumped into a delegation who were here from the spanish government and they are pretty ha p py the spanish government and they are pretty happy european establishment have got their back. for more background on the catalonia crisis, that's online at bbc news. let's talk about cholera. we are told it kills 100,000 people a year and there's a meeting in paris setting a bold aim to cut the number of deaths caused by cholera by 90% by 2030. we haven't seen a specific goal like this before but it reflects a renewed focus on cholera. there are some obvious reasons why, it's claimed many lives in yemen and is becoming a very pressing issue in bangladeshjute of becoming a very pressing issue in bangladesh jute of the rohingya muslims in myanmar. cholera spreads

in water containing infected pcs, so clea n in water containing infected pcs, so clean drinking water is crucial. this is the head of one charity working with refugees. this is the head of one charity working with refugeeslj this is the head of one charity working with refugees. i am seeing people in crowded situations, in swamps, there is an inadequate number of toilets. and inadequate water facilities. we see more than 8000 patients every day. we need multiple things. a mention that any supply of water is there. we need sufficient water sources and toilets, so that people can use toilets, and we need containers to store water safely and

water purifying tablets. the epidemic in yemen is the biggest in modern times. we think that they are approaching three quarters of a million cases. globally we believe 2 billion people are at risk of cholera. here is to let ms underwood more. in yemen, there is no access to clea n in yemen, there is no access to clean drinking water or decent to i lets, clean drinking water or decent toilets, then there is regularly occurring outbreaks. outbreaks that happen in the same areas in the same places of the world almost every single year. most of those so—called hotspots are in nations in africa. so in ethiopia, for example, more than 275,000 people are estimated to have been infected every year, and 10,000 people die. in nigeria, it is 220,000 cases, estimated with 8000

deaths and in india it is around 675,000 with more than 20,000 deaths. coleraine is, in theory, an easy disease —— cholera is an easy disease to treat. you need to give people access to clean drinking water and decent toilet facilities. cholera is spread by contaminated water. the who donors and aid agencies are all meeting today and they have made this pledge. is the first time a pledge like this has been made to end 90% of cholera deaths by 2030. it's an ambitious goal, but what everybody is saying at this meeting is they have the tools to endless and what countries need to commit to doing at this is giving everyone basic human rights. access to clean water and good

toilet facilities. you can find out more about this... this is outside source, the lead story is that donald trump is in las vegas, he has been visiting hospitals and speaking to survivors of sunday's attack. and a look at the main stories on the bbc world service. in turkey, the court has sentenced a0 people to life in prison for attempting to assassinate president brezhnev tad erdogan —— president erdogan. they we re erdogan —— president erdogan. they were found guilty of attacking a hotel where he had been staying. prosecutors in germany have charged the former leader of the alternative for germany party with perjury, she is one of the most prominent right—wing politicians in the country and is accused of giving false testimony in 2015 about a campaign pilots. and, as i mentioned

earlier, this is the dog with the longest time in the world. i can say so longest time in the world. i can say so because the guinness book of records has just confirmed so because the guinness book of records hasjust confirmed it. let's talk about the us secretary of state, rex tillerson. he has given a very rare press conference for one reason, this story from nbc news claiming that rex tillerson called donald trump a moron, and they said he called him that with an easy to get expletive in front of it. he said that he threatened to quit and that he had to be talked round by vice president mike pence. this is one version of a p but here is rex tillerson... to one version of a p but here is rex tillerson. .. to address some specifics that have been erroneously reported this morning, the vice president has never had to persuade me to remain as secretary of state because i've never considered leaving this post. i value the friendship and the council of the vice president, and i admire his

leadership, with president trump's administration to address the many important agendas of president trump, from a foreign policy perspective and a domestic objective. there are a number of ways you can look at this, numbers being quashed by the secretary of state, one columnist with the washington post said... and another... let's bring in the bbc‘s anthony circa from washington. i said it was rare, i cannot think of a press c0 nfe re nce said it was rare, i cannot think of a press conference called for one story in recent months? the interesting thing there have been stories about rex tillerson being unhappy with the president over the

last few months, i think that something different about the story will be rex tillerson apparently calling donald trump a moron, i think it touched a nerve in the white house, donald trump was tweeting before rex tillerson's press c0 nfe re nce , tweeting before rex tillerson's press conference, saying there was fa ke press conference, saying there was fake news circulating around. during the press conference, rex tillerson said that donald trump was smart. and the twitter feed stated that rex tillerson had totally exposed the story as being bogus. and said the same thing in the comments to reporters in las vegas. that there should be an apology and a made up the story. and what instigated, donald trump is sensitive to insults to his intellect, somewhat over the top and didn't warrant that kind of

response. the quality of information coming from the trump administration has been so poor on so many occasions. what does it add up to? given that we can be sure of whose version of events to believe?m given that we can be sure of whose version of events to believe? it is ha rd to version of events to believe? it is hard to tell what is going on with this story. the original nbc story was very well sourced, it had six or seven different sources, several networks backed it and especially that anecdote about rex tillerson calling donald trump and expletive maurin after the afghanistan policy meeting. what to make of all of it? —— and expletive moron. there is a conflict between rex tillerson and what he does with foreign policy and what he does with foreign policy and what donald trump does with foreign policy. on the iranian nuclear deal and north korea you had donald trump undercutting's rex tillerson's attem pts undercutting's rex tillerson's atte m pts to undercutting's rex tillerson's attempts to reach out to north korea, and again there was a

conflict between rex tillerson and donald trump going in different directions. it has raised a lot of people questioning as to why rex tillerson is sticking around, the head of cows will and foreign relations today said that to listen should resign, and that was probably why he came out, saying he was sticking with the administration, there are two acting secretary is right now, with homeland security, at the senior most cabinet level, saying that would be astounding for this young presidency. let's clear away the controversy around mr tillotson and around the things that donald trump said costa rico. the argument with the nfl, and so on. if we clear all of this way, what is the trump administration doing rather than just having fights with the media? looking at the nuts and

bolts of the regulations, and what barack obama bolts of the regulations, and what ba rack obama tragedy bolts of the regulations, and what barack obama tragedy in his administration, try to do with the environment and workplace regulations, trade, they are making headway that way. donald trump at people in his administration who are being very effective at unwinding these things. but as far as legislative victories, there is nothing to speak up in the administration. foreign policy is all over the place. there have been no major breakthroughs but at a lower administrative level you are seeing that an conservative judges from the supreme court being replaced to fill vacancies that were openin replaced to fill vacancies that were open in the bomber administration. that will have a lasting impact. —— in barack obama's administration. and from robert hall, a report about twin brother spending most of their lifetime trying to find out what

happened to their father in world war ii. in the end, they managed to find him and the royal irish fusiliers‘s grave was honoured by his 7a—year—old sons in a service this morning. his 7a—year—old sons in a service this mornil almost 50-50 in plastic again. it is almost 50-50 in plastic and seaweed. you would expect this at the seaside, but its shelves, purples and sand, but not plastic. few weeks ago, we were live on plymouth university's research vessel, testing the waters off the devon coast. what we have found has now been analysed. the pattern is polystyrene's fingerprint. you are matching it to what you know from your archives. that is right. it helps scientists determine where it comes from and how to stop them from entering the sea in the first place.

it is impossible to tell if you have polystyrene on a microscopic stale. did it come from a coffee, or was it from a tray of fish and chips? we know looking at the bigger items it is the fast food packages that are commonly made of polystyrene that we find a lot of on the shoreline. tracking back to the original shoreline in a lot of inferences involved. we can have a look at potential sources. then we can track back toward solutions. while the search for global solutions continue, in sweden, so does the clean—up. a show of defiance against a huge wave of plastic pollution. john maguire, bbc news, sweden. let's return to the las vegas attack, the investigation into what happened and the fact that donald trump has visited las vegas today. he spokejust over one trump has visited las vegas today. he spoke just over one hour ago. this is some of what he said.|j he spoke just over one hour ago. this is some of what he said. i have to tell you, i just this is some of what he said. i have to tell you, ijust met some of the

most amazing people. we met patients that were absolutely terribly wounded, and the doctors and the nurses, all of the people at the hospital, they have done a job that is indescribable. they will filled the night it happened, before it happened. and they found room for many people. many people came in? we had 100 come in. what i saw today is an incredible tribute to professionalism. and what they have done is incredible. you never want to see it again. we should also tell you the investigation is believed to be speaking to this woman today, marilou danely, the girlfriend of the gunmen, stephen paddock. she has flown in from the philippines to the usa and is now speaking to the fbi. we should emphasise that she is not under arrest but speaking to the authorities. they released by the

cam footage of officers as they were arriving at the scene. you can see on the top right, the clock says it is just after on the top right, the clock says it isjust after 10pm, on the top right, the clock says it is just after 10pm, when the attack began. police ushering people to safety as those shots were coming in. this lasted for nine minutes. we have been given no details whatsoever as to what the motivation for the attack may have been. thank you for watching. we are back tomorrow with another hour of the most important global stories. we will see you then. hello, we'd said it before and will say it again. typical autumn fair over the next ten days or so. all of the weather coming in from the atlantic. wet weather in scotland and north—west england. this weather watch a picture from earlier on

wednesday. the main heavy rain was on the wave tip, moving through. it allows this cold front to move southwards. ahead of it, strong and gusty winds. they will ease down and revert back to the north—west. the winds will be chilly. early rain clearing from southern parts of england. many parts having a dry day. showers pepper northern and north—west scotland. some in northern ireland, driven without wind direction over the irish sea. a find that chilly day, temperatures of 13 or 1a degrees in many areas. as the strongest wind moves away, we will find a ridge of high pressure building in on thursday night into friday morning. it could be a bit frosty, especially on the grass and a touch of frost in parts of the north as well. whatever it is it will be a chewy start on friday but a nice and bright one. sunny, not as windy, shadows on the coast move

away. more coming into northern ireland and north—west scotland bringing rain later in the day. temperatures of 13 of 15 degrees. chilly in scotland after a cold start with cloud coming in over the top. afair start with cloud coming in over the top. a fair bit of cloud at the weekend. rain at times, nothing especially heavy. most of it in the west, the best of the sunshine in the east. some shelter from west, the best of the sunshine in the east. some shelterfrom high ground. this is the pressure map as we head into the start of the weekend. this weather front moves across the uk. nothing particularly heavy on the rain. then some of these drizzly showers come in behind. a loss of cloud around. some brisk winds and not a great deal of sunshine on saturday. reasonable temperatures for this time of year. that weather front moves out the way. a temptation to call it a ridge of high pressure but it is broadly a westerly airflow for the second half of the weekend. more cloud goes out

towards the west, some drizzle over the hills, brighter further east towards the west, some drizzle over the hills, brighterfurther east and a better chance of seeing sunshine on sunday. on monday, a messy day. eastern areas with the best of the dry weather. the brighter weather and highest temperatures. further west, rain coming in from the atlantic. it's a weak weather front on monday. but if we look back at the wider picture in the atlantic, a couple of areas of low pressure. one to the north of scotland, another coming out of canada. broadly speaking, a strong westerlyjet strea m speaking, a strong westerlyjet stream from north america, coming right over the atlantic and heading right over the atlantic and heading right towards the uk. with that kind of configurations you have low pressure towards the north of the uk, and high pressure to the self. across siberia and southern france. we are on the edge of all of that high pressure. with a westerly flow, it stays changeable. spells of wet

and windy weather. but there will be sunshine in between. if the wind drops enough it could have a touch of frost too. tonight at ten, theresa may's big speech to the conservative conference offering major new policies is undermined by a series of setbacks. the speech was intended to revive the government's fortunes after the election result earlier this yearfor which the prime minister took full responsibility. i hold my hands up for that. i take responsibility. i led the campaign. and i am sorry. as cabinet colleagues looked on mrs may's then suffered a prolonged coughing fit which proved difficult to discard. speaks hoarsely: why... coughs. why we will nev... excuse me. speaks hoarsely: we will never hesitate to act where businesses aren't operating as they should. to make matters worse a security breach when a prankster gained access to the stage but mrs may's colleagues insisted she'd
