hello, i'm nuala mcgovern, this is outside source. it's unanimous, the communist party votes to enshrine president xi's name and ideology in the constitution, it's being hailed as a new era for china. treason! trump on the other side of the atlantic, president trump is heckled by a protester, and comes under attack from two senior members of his own party. it's a sad place for the nation and the sad thing is the debasing of the nation. i have grandchildren to answer two and so, mr president, i will not be complicit or silent. the fate of the re—run of kenya's presidential election is — once again — back here in the supreme court — two days before polls are due and, isjihad a suitable name for a french child, given the country has suffered the worst

terror attacks in western europe in the last few years? a prosecutor has to decide. welcome to outside source. a senior member of the us republican party has unleashed a scathing attack on donald trump. senator bob corker didn't hold back, saying president trump has difficulty telling the truth, isn't a good role model for children and is debasing america. here he is on cbs. i've got to know the president in a very unique way over the course of the last year. and i guess like all americans i would have hoped he would rise to the occasion and bring out the best in our nation, charlie. hopefully what presidents do is to try and bring the country together, to unify around common goals and not to unify around common goals and not to debase our country, if you will.

that has not happened and i'm beginning to believe that it will not happen and i think that's what president bush, president obama have been concerned about as it seems to been concerned about as it seems to be the governing model of the white house to purposefully divide. it happened after the virginia incident. it is to consolidate the base, not to bring out the better angels of the people in the country. it isa angels of the people in the country. it is a great nation. without us doing that, it not only affects us and future generations, it affects the world. i don't hold out a lot of hope but i hope that somehow, a different course of action can be taken. we all know donald trump is an avid tv viewer. and you can be sure he saw those comments. he fired back on twitter sending five tweets in the following 2 hours. senator corker also going on

twitter. he's talking about the white house and how it is run. another us republican senator has joined in on the attack, this time it is senatorjeff lake taking to the senate floor announcing he is retiring and using his beach to take aim at president trump. some copy that has been coming into the newsroom. flake says that us politics has become reckless and undignified from the white house, it is also said that loyalty to

conscience should supersede loyalty to any man or political party. earlier we spoke to katty kay in washington about how this latest feud with bob corker was impacting donald trump's legislative agenda. not n ot exa ctly not exactly edifying politics. this is someone very senior in the senate, the chair of the foreign relations committee, somebody donald trump needs on a host of issues, whether it is iraq, north korea, foreign affairs, tax reform, he needs corker‘s vote. corker is retiring next year so he seems to feel he can say what he actually thinks about the president. interestingly in the past he's said that a lot of republicans share those views. let's see where this leads. half the country is thinking, can they grow up in washington and start behaving like adults, all of them. they may have to wait longer.

stay with us because i want to play another scene we saw. donald trump had to lunch with republican leaders on capitol hill to talk about tax reform. this is how the president was greeted. treason! treason! trump is treason! trump is treason! we should be talking about treason, not tax reform. trump is treason was the chant by that man. let's bring catty back in. that also happening over the last couple of hours. how difficult is it for president trumped to keep policy on tracked or to get anything done between this

spat with bob corker and myeshia johnson, who was in the news over the condolence call. the question is, how much does he want to keep the discussion on track? president trump must know that every time he sends out tweets from the white house, attacking bob corker, attacking la david johnson's widow, he knows it will be discussed and occupied the news. we are leading with the story on the bbc. we aren't talking about policy, we aren't talking about policy, we aren't talking about policy, we aren't talking about tax reform, the white house agenda isn't consumed with those policy issues, it is reporters asking about these issues. you have to think that at some level they president wants us to be talking about these issues, he wants distraction from the fact that nine months into the trump presidency there is no repeal and replace of obamacare, there is no tax reform or

note major spending on infrastructure or legislative achievements. i don't know if it is that strategic but it seems like eve ryo ne that strategic but it seems like everyone talks about it. tweets are presidential statements. the press is right to discuss them and address them as such. i suppose the difficult thing is that they go out into the twitter sphere and sometimes an fact checked. bob corker, as president trump said, leading the bad demand deal but when you'll integrate that isn't as if he was a proponent and in fact he voted against it. nor is the president saying that bob corker asked him to run again as a senator in tennessee and the president said he wouldn't support him. according to bob corker that isn't true either and what i've heard from some republicans that has really set off bob corker and is why in one of those interviewed said that the president is a liar

effectively because he took it personally. how many times can we say it is unprecedented and extraordinary. a senior member of the party is criticising the president and at one point even suggesting that he couldn't trust donald trump with the nuclear codes. we haven't seen this before. katty kay in washington, dc. let's move now from washington to beijing — where the political contrast could hardly be starker. the chinese president xi jinping is now the most powerful leader since mao zedong. here's our china editor carrie gracie. "those in favour, raise your hands. and those against. none. unanimous." more than 2,000 communists and not

a single vote against. so he's in the party bible. xijinping thought on socialism with chinese characteristics for a new era. it's a third chapter for communist china. mao united the country, his successor made it rich, xi intends to make it strong. it's all a long way from the caves where he spent his teenage years as a farmer. xijinping had been born into the communist elite, but sent to the countryside when mao purged his father. that was then, this is now. china on the up and xi promising quality of life at home and superpower status abroad. translation: we want our lives to get better

and we want a strong country. translation: xi jinping is very tough. compared to other leaders, he's great. xi believes in control — the party's control of the public, his own control of the party and a campaign of fear to silence rivals. xijinping has acquired more authority and more power and the chinese communist party has taken a step away from collective leadership and towards a one—man rule by a very charismatic and powerful leader. for centuries, china's emperors ruled from behind the walls of the forbidden city. by enshrining his vision, xi hopes to make himself invulnerable. the chinese once called chairman mao "the great helmsman" and foreigners called him "the red emperor", one man who dictated the destinies of more than a billion people.

now, china has a new red emperor in xijinping and his party comrades are already called him the helmsman and the saviour of socialism. mao's one—man rule brought only china misery, but this time is different. if xi fails, we're all the poorer and if he succeeds, his drive for control will reach us all. carrie gracie, bbc news, beijing. this is veteran china watcher bill bishop's take on xi jinping thought. as we often do, i turned to bbc chinese's vincent ni for his analysis. i think there is some truth to that

because after all, xi jinping's thoughts being written into the constitution is very rare, it is the first time in 20 years since the leader retired in 1989. in a sense it is right that xi jinping leader retired in 1989. in a sense it is right that xijinping has enormous power but the real question is that with such a concentration of power in one—man's hands, what is he going to use it for? we have no a nswer yet going to use it for? we have no answer yet because his second term just started effectively today and we'll have to see what reforms he'd like to deliver, what's those who changes he'd like to deliver and what things he'd like to do for chinese society as well as chinese people. some people say with this particular policy it might stifle dissent. i think this is the consensus, there seems to be a consensus, there seems to be a consensus among analysts especially overseas because he wants to make sure the party is totally in control

in chinese society. like the analyst said, if you want to challenge the party and the president you will be met with a response from the jewish and rather than one individual. this isa and rather than one individual. this is a message to those who want to challenge the president. —— a response from the institution. chinese society is very diverse, we'll have to see how this will play out. another aspect of the constitution, the one belt and one road policy being written into it. is it significant? it is the brainchild of president xijinping, he wants to make sure that china is extending its influence beyond china as well as asia. however this policy is one that has to deal with countries with security risks so we

don't know how this wallasey is going to be played out. certainly he has this ambition. the bigger question is that xi jinping has a vision for his country notjust domestically but also overseas. one belt, one road policy is one of those examples. thanks to vincent. this article from the new york times caught our eye — they've measured the reoccurence of certain words in chinese leaders' speeches over the years. this graph shows how much the words ‘strong country‘ or ‘great country‘ has come up — perhaps a sign of growing confidence. and look at this tweet from the economist. traditionally that has been a role we‘ve considered for the us president. i asked vincent whether he thought xijinping was more powerful than donald trump.

i think certainly from the outside, we‘ve seen that president temp reid has enormous power in his hands —— president xi. the fact that president xi. the fact that president trump is in domestic trouble plays into the hands of the chinese foreign policy makers because for a long time they wanted to challenge the prestige of the united states, especially in asia. now that president trump has to deal with domestic chaos, china is in a good position to expand its influence in the region and perhaps beyond. stay with us on outside source — still to come. losing ground in syria and iraq. a report has said that 5000 supporters of so—called islamic state have returned to their home countries. the labour party says it‘s investigating the conduct of one of its mps, after fresh allegations that he‘s made abusive comments. jared o‘mara had already resigned

from the parliamentary women and equalities committee, for a series of homophobic and sexist remarks made more than a decade ago. but now one of his constituents is claiming he used sexist language against her seven months ago. mr o‘mara denies the accusation. up until now, the labour party has really seemed to accept jared o‘mara‘s apologies. he spoke to many of his labour colleagues last night saying he was deeply ashamed of comments he made in the past, sexist and homophobic comments posted online, ten, 15 years ago. what has happened today is that one of his constituents in sheffield hallam, the seat he won where he ousted the former lib dem leader nick clegg injune, has come forward speaking to the bbc‘s sophie evans, alleging he‘d made abusive comments against her. the mp totally denies these recent allegations but the labour party in the last few minutes have said they are investigating. this is outside source from the bbc

newsroom. our top story. china‘s ruling communist party has elevated its current leader xi jinping to the status of chairman mao in the party constitution — ushering in the era of xijinping thought. the ruling came during the closing session of the party‘s congress. let‘s take a look at some other stories the bbc is covering. italian police have opened an investigation after lazio football fans posted these stickers of holocaust victim anne frank, wearing the jersey of rivals roma. the stickers were accompanied by anti—semitic slogans. the apparent deathbed confession of a former policeman could help solve a series of murder cases. the crazy brabant killers, as they were known, murdered 28 people in belgium‘s brabant province in a series of robberies in the 1980s. the brother of one of the main suspects says he confessed before he died. that story on bbc world service. a british adventurer has flown 25km across south africa suspended from 100 helium balloons.

tom morgan, from bristol, reached heights of 2,500m more than twice england‘s highest mountain, while strapped to a camping chair. that story is among the most read at bbc.com/news. a new report released by the us based think tank the soufan center claims as many as 5,600 foreign fighters for the so—called islamic state have returned to their home countries, as the militant group loses territory. this shows the territory lost by is in the last two years in syria and iraq. in light red, their territory back in 2015. dark red, what they hold today. a dramatic reduction. the report says at least 33 countries have reported foreign fighters returning home. some of the more significant numbers.

400 in russia. 271 in france. the report was authored by this man richard barrett, the former director of counter—terrorism at mi6. the bbc‘s security correspondent frank gardner has been looking at the report. he told us the findings will be important for how security services deal with the growing problem. there has been a great deal of hype about the perceived threat from people coming back from areas controlled by so—called islamic state. most of the people who have come back to europe, certainly britain, came back some years ago. they have already been assessed if they are a threat, and potentially monitored and put under surveillance, some even tried and convicted. the fact is, at least half, in some cases, are staying out there. large numbers have been

killed. we don‘t really have a precise angle, governments don‘t know exactly who is still out there, what they are doing and where they are. this report is really welcome because we need some scientific analysis of this. richard barrett is well—placed to do he ran counterterrorism at mi6, well—placed to do he ran counterterrorism at m16, and was head of the un‘s al-qaeda and taliban monitoring unit. a very scientific report looking at where people have come from, why they went. the worrying conclusion of this is that he says some of those who came back may still be suffering from a sense of isolation and re m ote ness from a sense of isolation and remoteness from society that propelled them there in the first place. that, he says, makes them vulnerable to recruitment by isis or other jihadis. todayis

today is world polio days so let‘s look at how the fight against the disease is going. in 2016 there were 37 cases of polio and this year, just 12 have been recorded. cause for some guarded optimism? however it is still present in 3 countries that‘s in afghanistan, pakistan and in nigeria. the bbc‘s anne soy is in nairobi. this is a significant milestone in the fight against polio. just under 30 years ago hundreds of children underfive were 30 years ago hundreds of children under five were getting lifelong paralysis around the world but now we are talking about three countries where the infection is active. just under a year ago where the infection is active. just undera yearago in where the infection is active. just under a year ago in nigeria there we re under a year ago in nigeria there were celebrations marking two years without a new case of infection and just before the announcement they discovered two new cases and that set evan woolley back two years. the new cases came from afghanistan and pakistan. —— set everybody back. these countries have faced

challenges with attacks against vaccinating teams after religious leaders made a religious declaration against vaccination. however the resilience of these teams is paying off and in the words of one expert, 2018 may be the year that they see no new cases of the polio virus, which is naturally occurring. they are confident that within this decade, polio could be eradicated which could make it the third disease to be wiped off the face of the earth after smallpox. production of wine is set to reach its lowest level for half a century according to a leading global trade body. the international association of wine and vine says that poor weather in continental europe has affected harvests. there‘s some bad news for fans of chianti, wine production in italy is set to decline 23%. and if you prefer a bordeaux, you‘re not safe either.

wine production in france will fall by nearly a fifth. earlier we spoke to lulie halstead, the ceo and co—founder of wine intelligence. she told us what this could mean for the price of wine on the shelves. the first time in a long time, we‘re going to produce globally about the same amount of wine as we are consuming globally and we haven‘t seen consuming globally and we haven‘t seen that for a long time. from the producers and grape growers that is good news because historically they have effectively been underpaid for their grapes, especially at the lower end of the market. this will be an adjustment from the producer‘s perspective. we say me price increases at the lower end but typically we will see really good quality coming from the european 2016 vintages. the fast food giant mcdonald‘s is reaping the rewards of its turnaround plan in the us. sales were up over 4% in the latest quarter as the company

continues its battle with chipotle and burger king. let‘s get more on this, samira hussainjoins us from new york. why is this happening, how come they are going up? mcdonald's really went through a very bad period, very low sales, low traffic going into their stores. so they‘ve had to get busy in terms of trying to reinvent themselves to attract more people. they‘ve been experimenting with different things, different menu options, having select signature sandwiches, using more automation in its stores. what was a big winner former tunnels in this last quarter was a surely be $1 drinks, which brought a lot of people into the stores —— a big winnerfor mcdonald‘s. stores —— a big winnerfor mcdonald's. people are so health—conscious, the focus on obesity and unhealthy food but they

seem obesity and unhealthy food but they seem to be doing really well, when they aren‘t known as a healthy brand. absolutely, there are few reasons. they are offering healthier options and secondly people are still looking for a bargain and the fa ct still looking for a bargain and the fact that they have different options at lower price points is still quite attractive to some people. it also helps that other restau ra nts people. it also helps that other restaurants are struggling. one of the big competitors is chipotle, who reported lower earnings because they are battling some bad food scares, most recently a neuro virus outbreak. that's not going to help any outbreak. that's not going to help a ny restau ra nt! outbreak. that's not going to help any restaurant! thank you for joining us. stay with us. another half an hour to come on the bbc. good evening. i would like to start

today in hawaii because it is unusually wet horse. we are expecting as much as three or four times the average rainfall over the next 2a, 48 hours, even in the more populated areas, bringing significant risk of flooding and landslides given how it is topography wise with those steep mountains. that‘s tuesday night into wednesday. a chance of a storm near a highway and it is a similar story across the western caribbean and central america. these showers are clustering together and affecting the same countries affected by hurricane made not long ago so they will exacerbate the risk of flooding and mudslides, even if we don‘t see and mudslides, even if we don‘t see a storm forming but it looks ripe for that. quite a stormy tuesday across the north—east of the usa and eastern canada, disruptive gales, intense storms, even the odd tornado

and flooding rain, which is heading to the bahamas and southern florida. in contrast, the heat stays with us across california and therefore the further risk of wildfires because it is dry heat and quite gusty although we see some tempering of the temperatures but not much. while we clear the storm from the eastern seaboard it gets colder but there will be some sunshine. later in the week we will keep our watch for a potential alberta clipper. this is the next storm in the pacific and it looks like it‘s going to head towards japan. a lot of wet weather in guam. talking about storms, very nasty across the balkans. read warnings for serbia and croatia, a risk of dangerjuly because the strong winds combined with intense

downpours from those thunderstorms and heavy snow could well cause a lot of disruption and bring down power lines. it is slowly creeping east on wednesday. by then, heavy rain in the baltic states and some easing possibly in some of the balkans from what we‘ve seen in recent days. however we still have that heat across the mediterranean adriatic feeding the thunderstorms around greece, southern parts of the balkans and into turkey on wednesday so balkans and into turkey on wednesday so it looks like we will continue the severe weather risk. dry across siberia and the heat is building again, as we‘ll see in california, temperatures up to 8 degrees above average, exacerbating the risk of wildfire. thomas will have more of the uk weather in half an hour. hello, i‘m nuala mcgovern, this is outside source. it‘s unanimous, the communist party votes to enshrine president xi‘s name and ideology in the constitution, it‘s being hailed as a new era for china.

and on the other side of the atlantic, president trump is heckled by a protester , and comes under renewed attack from a senior member of his own party. it isa it is a sad place for our nation, and the worst is going to be just the whole debasing of our nation.|j have children and grandchildren to answer to, have children and grandchildren to answerto, and so, mr president, i will not be complicit or silent.
