means an absolute so it is by no means an absolute right off. hello, i'm ros atkins, this is outside source. well, the message to russia is clear. 21 countries announce the co—ordinated expulsion of more than a hundred russian diplomats. it's all to do with the nerve agent attack in the uk. and this is theresa may's message. together, we have sent a message that we will not tolerate russia's continued attempts to flout international law and undermine our values. porn actress stormy daniels has been talking about donald trump and over 20 million americans tuned in to hear her. we'll be playing some of that interview. malaysia's using these strange—looking adverts to warn about the dangers of fake news. it's proposing those who spread it could be jailed for up to ten years. plus, facebook — we'll look at the latest on the use of your personal data and their sliding stock. welcome to all of you. if you are in

the uk, i apologise for disappearing for the last couple of weeks, it is to do with the us and uk clocks not being in sync. but they are again now. we are back at this time for the foreseeable future. we start off by talking about the largest collective expulsion of russian diplomats in history. 21 countries have announced they will be expelling russian diplomats. that's the us, canada, ukraine, albania, norway and 16 eu member states are kicking out a total of 113 diplomats. that's on top of the 23 sent home last week by the uk. it's all connected to the poisoning of a russian spy and his daughter in the south

of england earlier this month. the uk's foreign secretary boris johnson has just been speaking to the bbc. if i go back a few weeks to the appalling attempted murder in salisbury, we weren't sure quite the level of support of solidarity that other countries would express for the uk. and i think the reason why you've seen this outpouring of revulsion at what russia has done is because so many other countries in the last ten years have now experienced, if not an attempted assassination on their soil with a nerve agent, they've experienced provocations of one kind or another. they've had disruption of their elections, cyber warfare, all kinds of russian aggression and malign behaviour. and that's why i think you've seen this completely unprecedented global response — 20 countries, well over 100 diplomats expelled.

that's the foreign secretary. this is the prime minister in the house of commons earlier. i have found great solidarity from ourfriends and partners in the eu, north america, nato and beyond over the past three weeks as we have confronted the aftermath of the salisbury incident. and together, we have sent a message that we will not tolerate russia's continued attempts to flout international law and undermine our values. we first realised something unusual was happening when the americans told us they were expelling 60 russians. in this statement from the white house, we were told it was for russia's use of chemical weapons in britain. then we were told more than half of the eu's member states declared they too were acting. we can highlight other countries,

too. ukraine is to expel 13, albania two, norway one. and canada will expel four. it's prime minister tweeted: "in response to russia's unacceptable behaviour, we're expelling several russian diplomats from our country. canada will always stand in solidarity with the uk." let's hear what the eu has been saying about this. donald tusk, president of the european council. already today, 1a member states have decided to expel russian diplomats. additional measures, including further expulsions within the common eu framework are not to be excluded in the coming days and weeks. since he made that speech, two more eu countries announced they‘ re expulsing diplomats, bringing the total to 16 eu member states. this is the bbc‘s europe editor katya adler in brussels on the eu response.

well, in eu circles, foreign policy decisions have to be taken unanimously, and that is why, today, a group of eu countries, altogether, more than a half of eu nations, have decided to take matters into their own hands and expel russian diplomats themselves. this after the eu to the unprecedented move up ringing home its ambassador to russia. now, eu leaders say this is in solidarity with the uk, but as a senior german government source pointed out to me this evening, there are also wider concerns about russia behind this, about its actions recently, in syria for example, and in ukraine. and then, of course, in salisbury, so much closer to home. russia says all of this is "unfriendly". i think all sides would agree on that. the foreign ministry said, "the provocative gesture of proverbial solidarity with london by these countries, having being led along by the british authorities in the so—called skripal case and not having bothered to sort out the circumstances of what happened, are the continuation of a confrontational line toward escalating the situation."

certainly, the situation is escalating. we have heard from the russians, saying they will retaliate to what has happened today. here's bbc russian‘s olga ivshina in moscow. we have a number of responses from officials here in moscow, where the tone is similar, they say this is a completely unfriendly step, and the west is undermining the last remaining, the last weak remaining ties between russia and certain countries in the west. concerning reaction, we are still waiting for, you know, an official response from moscow, in terms of whether this will be tit—for—tat. but the comment provided by the russian ambassador in washington, mr antonov, sheds a light on a possible response coming from moscow. so, he said that this story teaches moscow only one thing, that washington only respects strength. and this suggests that the response

from moscow will be quite harsh. so we've had the view from the eu and from russia. let's get more from the us. one interesting detail — a russian consulate in seattle will be shut. the russian embassy in washington responded by asking its followers which us consulate should close in response. i haven't checked which one people have gone for, but there have been over 15,000 votes. 0ne do the russians have a consulate in seattle thatis russians have a consulate in seattle that is of interest to both sides, here is chris buckler to explain. it's basically close to a submarine base in the us. it's also close to boeing aerospace. and those two places, which america does not want a russian consulate close to. and that seems to be because they are very concerned about those inside america who are intelligence gathering,

who are involved, as far as they're concerned, in spying. and they're also worried about cyber attacks that have been taking place. in fact, there have been cyber attacks in the last number of months that have involved attacks on america's infrastructure, vital infrastructure, for example, like electricity grids. so, that's the reason for that specifically. and more broadly, how damaging will these expulsions be to russia's ability to function in the us? they still will have a number of diplomats here, but it is going to strain america—russia relations, there's absolutely no doubt about that. we've just had a briefing at the white house. i'll give you an idea of some the words used. they described that attacked in england, on that former spy, as a "brazen attack", described as "reckless action". there was a message saying, we want to work with russia, but that is just not possible at this moment. and certainly, you're seeing much tougher language from the white house than you've seen in quite a long time, really. if you take a look last week,

president trump was on the phone was on the phone to vladimir putin, congratulating him on his re—election, even against the advice of his advisers he was doing that. and he didn't bring up this attack that took place in england. it's all changed now. it's been mentioned time and time again, you have, when you look at the sheer numbers, america are leading the way on this, 60 officials being removed from the country within seven days. that's 12 from the un and new york, 48 from washington and a consulate being closed. that's really tough action. that is one story the white house has been commenting on today. here is another one. stormy daniels has given her side of the story. as most of you will know, she's a porn actress who says she slept with donald trump in 2006, something the president denies. in this interview with cbs news, she made that allegation again, and said she was given ‘hush money‘ from donald trump's lawyer. as you will see in this clip.

i believe, without a shadow of a doubt, in my heart, and some people argue that i don't have one of those, but whatever... that i was doing the right thing. i turned down a large payday multiple times because, one, i didn't want to kiss and tell, and be labelled all the things that i'm being labelled now. i didn't want to take away from the legitimate and legal, i'd like to point out, career that i've worked very hard to establish. and most importantly, i did not want my family and my child exposed to all the things that she's being exposed to right now. a white house spokesperson was asked about this. with respect to that interview, i will say the president strongly, clearly and has consistently denied these underlying claims. and the only person who's been inconsistent is the one making the claims. this is michael cohen, donald trump's lawyer. he's admitted paying stormy daniels $130,000 just before the 2016 election, in exchange for her not talking

about the allegation. but he maintains he was not asked to do this by the trump campaign. and the money was his. but look at this tweet from new york times journalist maggie haberman tweeted — trump had dinner with michael cohen last night. night before the stormy daniels interview". all about the cover—up, about the lies and deceit that have been laid out for the american people by mr cohn and mrtrump out for the american people by mr cohn and mr trump by his surrogates. the is about the hiding of the knowledge of the president relating to the agreement and the negotiation agreement, as well as this $130,000 payment. he wants the american people to believe that this is all false, and he paid the money even though there was no basis to the allegation. well, if that's true, every viewer right now should call

michael cohen's office in new york city, claimed they had an affair with the president, and according to michael comte, he will send you $130,000 immediately. stormy daniels also claimed she was threatened in 2011. here is the relevant clip. i was in a parking lot, going to a fitness class with my infant daughter, taking the seats facing backwards on the back—seat, diaper bag, you know, getting all the stuff out. and a guy walked up on me, and said to me, "leave trump alone. "forget the story." and then, he leaned around and looked at my daughter, and said, "a beautiful little girl. "it'd be a shame if something happened to her mom." and then he was gone. perhaps unsurprisingly, this interview was very popular. it's a big talking point today in the us. more than 21 million viewers watched the interview last night. it's the programme's largest audience since 2008. next, this is the analysis of eleanor clift, from the daily beast. she is as relentless as president

trump is when it comes to pursuing this legal procedure. she is not going away. if she succeeds legally oi’ going away. if she succeeds legally or not, she will remain a thorn in this president's side as we approach the mid—term elections in november, when the women in america are quite incensed about a lot of things, and she's... her complaints incensed about a lot of things, and she's. .. her complaints and incensed about a lot of things, and she's... her complaints and the thuggish way she claims to have been treated, it adds to the list of particulars against president trump. stay with us on outside source, 2e turn our attention to facebook... a few strands — people are discovering how much data the company holds. the share pirce is sliding and us authorities have opened an investigation. jewish groups and some mps have demonstrated in westminster this evening against what they say is anti—semitism within the labour party and jeremy corbyn‘s failure to stop it. this is despite the labour leader

apologising yesterday and again this afternoon for what he called ‘pockets‘ of anti—semitism within the party. tonight a meeting of labour mps has been discussing the issue . our political correspondent chris mason has the details. you could hear the contributions of some mps absolutely clearly through the door, through the wall. so, john mann, for instance, the chairman of the all—party group for anti—semitism, could be clearly heard saying, "what kind of labour party is this? if we don't get our act together, we won't be elected and deservedly so." i've spoken to another mp who was there at that meeting, "i've no idea what our party has become. i feel sick and shamed most days." this is outside source live from the bbc newsroom. our lead story is:

21 countries have announced the co—ordinated expulsion of more than a hundred russian diplomats over a nerve agent attack in britain. the nigerian government is in talks with the islamist group boko haram about a possible ceasefire. more than 20,000 people have been killed and over 2 million others displaced in the nine years of its insurgency. just last week, the government secured the release of over a 100 girls who'd been kidnapped by the group. the indian prime minister narendra modi has been criticised after reports that his official mobile app automatically sends user data to a us company without the user's consent. it's been downloaded millions of times, but the governing bjp is denying any information is going to a third party. and scientists say they've discovered the main reason why whales are so big. it's to retain body heat in chilly ocean waters.

a us study found that once [and mammals take to the water they evolve very quickly to a larger size. let's talk about facebook. there is a lot to talk about. we've been reporting on the fallout for facebook after a political consultancy — cambridge analytica has been accused of improperly using the facebook data on behalf of political clients. within facebook‘s setting, you can download everything that facebook hold on you. the author emma kennedy tweeted, "i've just looked at the data files i requested from facebook and they had every single phone number in my contacts. they had every single social event i went to, a list of all my friends (and their birthdays) and a list of every text i've sent." here's the bbc‘s tech correspondent rory cellanjones on how this works. you click on download, your data,

and an hour later, you can get it. my and an hour later, you can get it. my data was a huge file, 675 megabytes. it had my photos, my videos, my messages. but those are things i put on facebook consciously. then i looked at another file. there was a list saying, contact. i clicked on that. i found thousands upon thousands of phone numbers i'd store on my phone. when i signed up 11 years to facebook, i ticked the box saying... i opened the door to my phone to facebook, but what i didn't realise is it stayed open all that time. food for thought there. the us federal trade commission has confirmed that it's investigating facebook‘s privacy policies. all connected to the story about the political consultancy cambridge analytica user facebook user data to help the trump campaign. kim gittleson is in new york. kim, fill us in on what

investigators want to know from facebook. this goes back to 2011, an agreement facebook made with the federal trade commission that centred on this thing called the consent decree. it said that if facebook was using someone's data, they had to inform them. facebook or agreed to audit how third parties use facebook data. the consent decree could be violated, a fine could be $16,000 per violation. it could be $16,000 per violation. it could now be $110,000. but if you do some back of the envelope maths, there are approximately 50 million facebook users that are said to have had theirface the facebook users that are said to have had their face the data used by cambridge analytica. if every one of thoseis cambridge analytica. if every one of those is a violation, facebook could face a fine of 800 billion. we don't think that is what the ftc will find them, but facebook, as of right now

in the markets, it is only worth $450 billion. these fines are huge for a company like facebook. one thing i want to ask you about, here is some copy in from reuters out of new york: what's going on here, kim?|j what's going on here, kim? i have been telling you how the shares have been telling you how the shares have been declining, even facebook shares today, that is how broad the market rally was. a lot of people think investor optimism is caused by reports over the weekend that china and the us were negotiating. while markets were fearful last week that the us was starting a trade war with china, these reports suggest that maybe it was actually an opening gambit ina maybe it was actually an opening gambit in a larger negotiation to figure out if there was a way to reposition the trade relationship with china. investors think that maybe the worries about a trade war

are slightly overblown. interims of how the markets react, donald trump has done this a few times, made a start announcement and eased his position back a little. i guess, on the whole, that is a relief to those that trading shares and stocks. yeah, investors like a bit of good news they can trade on. we saw sharp declines on thursday. it corrects what happened last week. with markets, it is always a hard thing to figure out what is leading to optimism for investors or pessimism. it is better to look at the overall trend. i will say, it is better to look at the overall trend. iwill say, since it is better to look at the overall trend. i will say, since donald trump has taken office, markets on the whole have risen, even though in the whole have risen, even though in the past few months, we have seen volatile market movements day—to—day. uber is pulling out of south—east asia. it's made similar retreats from china and russia.

karishma vaswani in singapore can explain why. uber and grab, they've been locked in a fierce battle for market share on the streets of this highly competitive region. drivers were lured with bonuses incentives, while passengers had promotional fares thrown at them in a big win them over. but now there is one clear winner, and it isn't uber. grab is the region's most popular ridesharing app, with millions of users in eight countries. it's taking over uber‘s south—east asia operations for an undisclosed sum. under the deal, uber gets a 27.5% stake in grab. lots and lots and forever... in an interview with me last month, the company's ceo anthony tan told me he's always had bigger plans for the young start up. we want to be the app that allows you to buy your copy, earn rewards, then after that, you want to buy your lunch and order in.

and have yourfood delivered, so you don't have to go through a traffic jam. and when you're that relevant, or that real to every customer across the 600 million base, then you create huge value. for uber, there is soul—searching ahead. this is the third market it has pulled out of, first china, then russia, now southeast asia. and while uber is keen to stress that this deal is a merger of equals, the internal e—mailfrom their chief merger of equals, the internal e—mail from their chief shows where the company may have detoured. uber says there is no more consolidation on the cards. in fact, uber‘s chief says that is out of the question. but in the asian markets that uber is still operating in, india, south korea and japan, it's

facing local competition. and if the experience that its face out on the streets, in tonnes of home—grown rivals is anything to go by, well, then, uber may well be in for a bumpy wider head. a german court is going to decide whether to send the former leader of catalonia back to spain where he faces charges of sedition and rebellion. carles puigdemont was crossing from denmark into germany on his way back into belgium, he's been living in exile there since catalonia's parliament unilaterally declared independence in october. this all happened after he attended a conference in finland. it seems mr puigdemont was not expecting his arrest warrant to be reissued. this news did not go down well back in catalonia. these pictures show the protests that broke out overnight after news of the arrest. spanish media estimated over
