hello, i'm ros atkins — this is outside source. we're in the 20th day of us government shutdown — and donald trump has headed to the border. the president is making the case for a border wall — which congress won't fund. this is what mr trump is saying. i have the absolute right to declare a national emergency. i haven't done it yet. i may do it. the us secretary of state is in egypt — he says america is still committed to the fight againsy is, depite the president trump's promise to pull us troops out of syria. the democratic republic of congo names its new president — he's promising the country's first peaceful transfer of power — but already his main rival says the whole thing's rigged. as the uk parliament's brexit vote gets ever closer — the opposition has again called for a general election. donald trump is in texas.

right now he's in a meeting about border security — and shortly he'll go to the rio grande river which runs along the border between mexico and texas. the whole trip is designed to make the case for a border wall. mr trump spoke to the media a short time ago. we have equipment that will be able to detect the drugs. and it's the finest in the world, and we are getting it ready. it is part of what we are asking for. it is not only the world. we have taken the recommendation straight to congress, but congress says — you know, the democrats you know, the democrats are holding us up because they don't want it — they think it is good politically, i think it is a disaster for the politically. but i'm not doing it for politics, i'm doing it because it's right. mr trump wants over $5 billion to pay for it.

but the democrats in congress won't sign that off — so we're into day 20 of the government shutdown. before flying to texas — the president made this coment. i have the absolute right to declare a national emergency — the lawyers have so advised me. i'm not prepared to do that yet. but if i have to, i will. i have no doubt about it. i will. i have the absolute right to declare — this was passed by congress, so when you say it wasn't passed by congress, it was. other presidents have used it. some fairly often. i have the absolute right to declare a national emergency. i haven't done it yet. i may do it. if this doesn't work out, probably i will do it. and as is often the case, the president also said something that's not true. the fake news likes to say it — when during the campaign, "i would say mexico is going

to pay for it". obviously, i never said this, and i've never met their pointing to write out a check. i said they're going to pay for it. they are. they are paying for it with the incredible deal we made, called the united states, mexico and canada — usmca deal. it is a trade deal. but the thing is the president did say mexico would pay for it. he said it a lot. we will build the wall, ioo%, and mexico will be paying for the wall! cheering. who is going to pay for the wall? mexico! mexico is going to pay for the wall. who is going to pay for the wall? mexico! who! mexico! there's also this a memo sent by doanld trump to the washington post during the election campaign in 2016. in the first paragraph it says: "it's an easy decision for mexico. make a one—time payment of $5-io billion..." it's still on mr trump's campaign

website if you want to read it. and in the past @realdonaldtrump has tweeted. "mexico will pay for the wall". gary o'donoghue is at the us—mexico border in texas. the president talked about calling a national emergency. in practical terms, what would that change? national emergency. in practical terms, what would that change ?m would allow him to go and get around to $.5 billion from the defence budget, defence department budget. -- 21$5 budget, defence department budget. —— 2! $5 billion. it has been earmarked for infrastructure coding. it is not money that is sitting there doing nothing, it is meant to be due doing something specific. but he could go and get it and take it and start spending it on building a wall. that is what he certainly

thinks he can do. or else i would been up in the course, it will be challenged and there is no question about that. but it would look like from his point of view he would get to say look, i've grabbed the money and they would take it anywhere in the middle on the thing that you need for national security. the big upside of that for him is not only would that be decent messaging, it would that be decent messaging, it would also allow him to sign all these pending bills that would reopen the government for the shutdown, because of course hundreds of thousands of federal employees tomorrow to not get paid. he has not declared that date of emergency. he has attended a number of times. he didn't do it at a border event that he was at a few moments ago. half a mile or so away from where we are now at the river doing another photo opportunity. that is my traffic is all backed up here. they have been kept sitting here for an hour while the motorcades went through. and we will see whether he does it down there. i doubt he will. and then

we're there. i doubt he will. and then we‘ re left there. i doubt he will. and then we're left with the table. and no discussion going on between democrats and the republicans and no signs at the end of a standoff. should we see this visit was about policy and more about the pr battle between mr trump and the democrats? i think there is a lot to be said about that. the president himself described it as a pointless photo opportunity. but it has adequate in some sense, the purity did with the border protection agents, had that whole load of stuff, drugs they seized at the border and stories of smuggling people. they had free handguns, they said they seized down the coast. three gold—plated handguns encrusted with diamonds, withjubilee. handguns encrusted with diamonds, with jubilee. he said handguns encrusted with diamonds, withjubilee. he said they had seized from people traffickers and drug traffickers. these images are powerful. when you have the families of border agents would have been killed by the gangs of the smuggling of people and drugs across the

border spending a good thing we want the wall, that is also a very powerful image. it is something you have done before in something clearly his aides believe is the way to focus this argument of the human cost of it rather than on the pure politics. thank you very much. gary in texas live for us. brexit latest. the leader of the oppositionjeremy corbyn has repeated his call for a general election. clearly, labour does not have enough mps at the moment in parliament to win a confidence vote on its own. so members across the house should vote with us, to break the deadlock. this paralysis cannot continue. uncertainty is putting people'sjobs and livelihoods at risk. and if a general election cannot be secured — and we will try — then we will keep all options on the table, including the option of campaigning for a public vote.

but an election must be and is the priority. the latest manifestation of the brexit deadlock is likely to come on tuesday when parliament votes on theresa may's brexit withdrawal deal. on top of that the government has been defeated twice in parliament this week. but the prime minister soldiers on. she also spoke earlier. the only way to avoid no deal, is to have a deal and agree a deal. and the deal that is on the on the table — the deal that is the deal that the eu has made clear is the only deal — there is an issue that is being raised about the backstop and we are continuing to take, to work with you on that particular issue. but there is a good deal on the table. and for those who want to avoid no deal, then backing the deal is the thing to do. and in relation to the cause i heard today — i want to see this deal getting through parliament with support from the dup, with support for my conservative colleagues... but i believe it's in the national

interest, because it's a good deal, and therefore i hope that it will get wide support across the whole of parliament. nick eardley, westminster. i was thinking as i was listening to that but the prime minister talking about wording and reassurances around the backstop. she needs to get that from the european union pretty quickly, doesn't she? the vote is on tuesday. she does indeed. over the christmas period there was an expectation that we would come back to parliament and it will be something that the prime minister could wait about and say look, it's changed and i have something new on the table. that quite friendly has not happened yet. there have been a few nods towards potential assurances on the backstop issue. there has not been an agreement on something concrete with europe yet. i expect that those talks are ongoing. it is not impossible that something will happen before the vote on tuesday. it is not there yet. and because of that, you're seeing the prime minister and other

ministers and the government in general trying its best to pick off potential supporters, to try and get anything on which it could try and garner some support for this deal. the prime minister has accepted potentially some amendments which would tweak the deal, that means parliament would have a greater rule that could enjoy more workers' rights. in the brexit deal. and all thatis rights. in the brexit deal. and all that is basically to labour supporters. but at the moment despite those assurances and those pivots and knows all of branches, it just does not feel like there has been a big enough movement from mps who have said they are not going to back the deal moving over to back the deal, to put the prime minister anywhere near a position where she could pass it. nick, help me on the opposition labour party. they won a general election but let's imagine there is a general election next week. what is the labour party's policy on brexit, what brexit deal

isn't offering the country?” policy on brexit, what brexit deal isn't offering the country? i don't know. that is the honest answer. the labour party policy is to have a slightly different record where they would look to get a permanent customs union overtime. but there is also an element of a lot of people wondering what is labour going to do here. yes, they want a general election, but they have not been com pletely election, but they have not been completely clear as to what we would offer in that general election apart from what they call a better labour brexit. there is a lot of confusion about whether or not the party could potentially offer the prospect of another referendum on brexit. as pa rt another referendum on brexit. as part of a general election offering. there is a lot of ambiguity in the labour party, something that is construct did, that they're doing on purpose to try and keep levers in the labour party and remain as an labour party on the same page. —— leavers. there are people in the labour party who won the leadership

to come down on a certified and say this is what we need to do on brexit, this is the way out of the current impasse in parliament. what jeremy corbyn was saying today is oui’ jeremy corbyn was saying today is our priority is a general election and we don't want to get to the stage of packing a general election. we will —— backing a second referendum, we much rather get a general election and get something that would unite the country. some labour mps that would unite the country. some labourmpsi that would unite the country. some labour mps i has been speaking to a still scratching their head and saying we are not totally sure what we are going into with the general election, fighting for. thank you very much. plenty more analysis if you need it online. the big vote is on tuesday. stay with us on outside source — still to come... we'll bring you news on the controversial election result in democratic republic of congo — we've got a report from the capital kinshasa. it may not come as a surprise that not everyone is accepting the winter that has been chosen. the family of a 14—year—old boy who was murdered in east london says

he was not linked to any gang. jayden moodie was stabbed to death after being knocked off his moped by a car on tuesday evening. the teenager had moved from nottingham to london with his mother six months ago for a "new start". no arrests have been made overjayden's death. our correspondent adina campbell sent this report from leyton. jayden moodie's family have given an emotional tribute in front of the media this evening. the 14—year—old was killed on this road on tuesday night in what police say was a targeted attack. in the lead—up to his death, he had been riding a moped. he was then involved in a collision with a car, and then stabbed repeatedly by a group of men and later died from his injuries. his death has shocked this local community and his family say they are devastated. this is outside source live

from the bbc newsroom. our lead story is... president trump is at the us—mexican border to try and win support for his plan to build a wall there. we can turn to some of the main stories from bbc world service. the french interior minister has accused supporters of the yellow vest protest movement of damaging around 60% of the speed cameras on french roads. one of the many grievances of the yellow vests is that the government has lowered the speed limit on country roads. bbc world service. venezuela's president nicolas maduro has been sworn in for a second term in office. many countries in the americas have said they won't recognise mr maduro's presidency because they believe it's illegitimate. a federal court in la has dismissed claims by ashleyjudd that she was sexually harassed by the film mogul harvey weinstein. the actress can however proceed with a civil claim against the producer.

mr weinstein is still facing a separate criminal case involving five counts of sexual assault — he denies all allegations. we have the results of the presidential election in the democratic republic of congo. this is a huge country in central africa — population of over 80 million — and no track record of peaceful handovers of power. this is the winner, at least for the moment — felix tshisekedi was the opposition candidate. and if the result holds, it'd be the first time an opposition challenger has won an election since independence in 1960. here's the reaction of his supporters. translation: tshisekedi was voted president of the republic. we must salute the simplicity, the modesty, the humility. translation: i have tears in my eyes. we have voted, mr president. we're the best, man, we the best!

the runner—up is martin fayulu. he was leading in the opinion polls — and he says the result is a fraud and an ‘election coup'. here's more. translation: we categorically reject the result published by the electoral commission president. to all those who have learned the truth of the ballot boxes, we ask you to reveal to the congolese people and to the whole world — the name of the person who really was the people's choice. the catholic church is also questioning what happened. it had more than 40,000 election monitors in place — it's expressed doubts about the accuracy of the result and has warned of irregularities. the belgian foreign minister also has concerns. as does the the french foreign minister. translation: these elections were held more or less peacefully, which is a good thing. but it seems that the declared results with mr tshisekedi declares the winner are not consistent

with the results that have been observed here or there. because the national episcopal conference of the congo has carried out checks and the good result that was totally different. and while this plays out, there's constant concern violence may erupt. just as it did during the campaign. yesterday, riot police were stationed at the electoral commission's headquarters as a precaution. the country has a long history of internal conflict — and this election has been postponed for two years — because of a risk of violence president kabila said — though that was disputed. for now, we're into a 14—day period when the result can be challenged. if you want even deeper analysis of what's going on in the congo, our africa editor fergal keane has written this article, it's on the bbc website. louise dewast is in kinshasa, here's her latest report.

scenes ofjubilation scenes of jubilation and scenes ofjubilation and kinshasa we re scenes ofjubilation and kinshasa were opposition supporters are celebrating the declared victory of felix tshisekedi who won with just over 7 million votes. we were waiting for someone who listen to people. this is a historic moment for the opposition who has failed for the opposition who has failed for decades to seize power. for many, this is finally the time for change. but the challenges facing the next president arguments. and some are doubting felix tshisekedi's independence and ability to govern. rumours of a backroom deal between felis desiccated and the current president worry somewhat political a nalyst president worry somewhat political analyst albert, who believes the outgoing president will try and stay influential behind the scenes. bre

understand that he still doesn't really wa nt understand that he still doesn't really want to go. he still needs to have control on all the systems and this is what this deal would offer him. the country's very powerful catholic church who observed on voting day, it's funny that another candidate should have won. pressure is now on the courts will deliver it on any challenges and announce a final winner. louise dewast, on any challenges and announce a finalwinner. louise dewast, bbc news, kinshasa. time for outside source business. all week we've had reports from the vast ces tech fair in las vegas. 40% of the companies taking part are from china — but there are pressures on how chinese firms do business in the us. heer‘s dave lee on that issues. for decades, ces has been a thrilling ride into the future of of the global tech industry. a multi—million dollar sales pitch

of the weird, the wonderful and maybe the ground—breaking. companies from china have long been a familiar sight. with firms like huawei now taking up almost as much room as the top us names. it makes business sense for them to come here because they can meet their buyers from all around the world. but while huawei has come out in force for this tech show, none of the us phone networks offer their smartphones. that is because the us government is concerned that china might use them to spy on americans. we don't believe there's any evidence in the world of any issues regarding huawei and huawei products. and we're more than happy to have a conversation with us government about how to come up with a security insurance framework geared towards the united states. tensions rose further when huawei's chief financial officer meng wa nzhou was arrested in december. she is fighting extradition to the united states, where she faces charges of bank fraud —

allegations she denies. then there's the ongoing trade war between the two countries, which threatens to impact tech firms greatly. the climate is making it harder for chinese companies to find success in the us. chinese brands in the us have always struggled. so they never have had a significant market share. i think with the amount of power that huawei has, they could have had a really big impact, again as we have seen in in the rest of europe, on the us market. most here hope and expect the trade dispute to pass. but there is a growing atmosphere of suspicion between the two mobile superpowers, over how they use new technology. dave lee, bbc news, in las vegas. four men have gone on trial for stealing this gold coin from a museum in berlin. it's a canadian "big maple leaf" coin, made from 100kg of solid gold and it's the size of a manhole cover.

i use the word "point" loosely. gascoyne. here are the suspects arriving at court today. the trial is taking place in a youth court as three of the men were under 2! when the crime took place. the coin was stolen from the museum in 2017. this is an image from google street view, showing the side of the museum facing train tracks. police say the suspects used a ladder to get from the tracks to a third floor window which wasn't alarmed. police also released cctv footage from the train station which is 500m away. this was from before the robbery took place. you see three people hiding theirfaces. police believe those three climbed through the window, smashed this bullet—proof case and took the coin. they then allegedly used a wheelbarrow and skateboard to roll the coin away —

before abseiling from the train tracks to their getaway vehicle. the fourth suspect worked as a security guard at the museum and is accused of being their inside man. here'sjenny hill. this was an audacious heist, carried out in the dead of night so prosecutors incidentally had to place this down the road from angela merkel‘s berlin city centre apartment, which is guarded by police officers. the men denied the charges against them. they are all in their 20s. they're actually being tried in a us court because in germany the age of the majority am aware of the age of criminal adult hood is 21. it is possible the men could face a prison sentence. though much depends on whether the judge decides whether to apply adult sentences should they be found guilty. bear in mind this coin meant was actually the brief holder of the largest point in the world. award solid gold made out of 2a carat gold. they believe it was probably

either cut into small pieces or melted down and sold. time for outside source business. ford has announced plans for a major shake—up of its european operations. michelle fleury, new york. if the shake up a euphemism for cuts? we are seeing massive restructuring going on in the car industry. we heard ford announcing big cuts in europe today. there was also news out of that one land rover. you may recall back in november general motors was announcing substantial cuts in the united states. the backdrop to all of this is one of global capacity. there is too much of it in the car industry. in other words car companies around the world that make more cars that there are people who wa nt to more cars that there are people who want to buy them. as a result of that, they are starting to try and alter their production need to reflect that. the palm is for those who work in the industry, that means paying in the form of lay—offs. presumably they‘ re also paying in the form of lay—offs. presumably they're also thinking about making different vehicles. presumably they're also thinking

about making different vehiclesm seems to be a switch is certainly here in america or other parts of the world as well, away from small 4—door cars towards the border —— sporty and utility vehicles. that is where the car makers think they can make more money into more cars. as a result of that, they are changing their reduction and their plans accordingly. the other thing in all of this was you and i have talked about global growth and concerns people have about that. the car companies don't want to be caught short. they are preparing for the worst ahead of time. thank you very much indeed. if you have the bbc news app hit the business tab for all the latest from michelle and all my aleix from the business unit. i will be back with you in three or four minutes' time with more of the bigger stories from around the world. hello. we will be taking a look at

the uk weather prospects and just a second. first of all i want to update you on the weather situation that has been making the headlines not just that has been making the headlines notjust in austria, but quite widely across the heart of europe will stop because in recent days, we have seen heavy snowfall in parts of austria, germany and switzerland. over a months worth have fallen already. here we are on the tenth. southeastern italy has also been badly affected. there is more on the way. these scenes really have become white wife were as widespread in recent days across the heart of europe and parts of turkey as well. to the south of salzburg, a state of emergency has been declared so that army personnel can be deployed to help clear significant fall of snow. there is more in the way. not so much perhaps on friday but certainly come sunday, some locations across the northern alpine region already badly affected and could see in excess of another metre of snow. during the course of friday, this weather front will gradually drag its moisture ever further into the

heart of the continent and want it reaches the high ground of the alps, thatis reaches the high ground of the alps, that is where we will see a significant conversion of that moisture into snowfall. and a lot of areas on the charts across much of scandinavia, very windy conditions here. let's towards iberia where high pressure is dominant but it is a frosty night making the headlines here. it is not overly warm right through the heart of the continent. i should also say that the western side of norway has had real problems with the winter. given that the amount of snowfall has really hiked in the avalanche risk. the trailing caution of that weather front is on its way down towards the alpine region. spreading the prospect of some small, but not significant enough that the states. east italy, snow for a time before he transferred to the balkans. the system is working its way towards the ukraine. across the atlantic, significant areas of low pressure brought blizzard conditions again into the northeastern corner of the usa, to the eastern side of canada. more wet and windy weather in the north pacific. into the western side of canada and also into the pacific

northwest of the usa. looking further south, this system just beginning to wind its way up from the texas area, from a to b northeast over the next few days. we change the script altogether as we get into the heart of australia. you can see the extent of those livid red colours the heart of australia. there are a couple of pulses of heat likely to move their way out of western australia, down towards the southeast of order over the next few days. to nurture and adelaide for example, a0 if not a1 degrees. some of that he'd getting right down towards the eastern coast as well. nothing quite so dramatic ear towards the british isles. high pressure tending to hold on in the short term. as we move towards the week in some atlantic front will bring the prospect of some rain to many locations during the course of the weekend. but by no means will wash out. bye—bye. hello, i'm ros atkins, this is outside source. we're in the 20th day of us government shutdown and donald trump has headed to the border. the president is making the case for a border wall, which congress won't fund.

and saying what happens if he doesn't get the funding. the democrats are holding us up, because they don't want it. they think it's good politically, i think it's a disaster for them politically. the us secretary of state is in egypt, he says america is still committed to the fight against isis, depite the president the us secretary of state is in egypt, he says america is still committed to the fight against isis, depite the president trump's promise to pull us troops out of syria. the us secretary of state is in egypt, he says america a drone attack on a government base in yemen threatens a ceasefire in the port city of hudaydah. and spanish officials have arrested 15 people in a tennis match fixing scandal that could implicate up to 28 players. some breaking news to bring you now. president donald trump's former lawyer, michael cohen, is due

to testify publicly before congress on feb. 7. cohen was sentenced in december to a total of three years in prison in the schedule from the house of representatives oversight committee. let's bring in regina from washington, dc. it's on a didn't have enough to think about, this is something quite substantial. it is indeed. we're not in a time here where congressional hearings are seen as much watched tv and blockbuster viewing. this is going to bea blockbuster viewing. this is going to be a public appearance for michael: as you say there. the 7th of february. before the house oversight committee. this is a sign that now that the democrats have taken control of the house of representatives, they are ramping things up. when it comes to applying pressure on the trump administration. now in that statement that you mentioned there from the committee and from michael

cohen, well the committee says that they think michael cohen for agreeing to testify, they want to make it clear that they have no interest in inappropriately interfering with the ongoing critical to the mac criminal investigations an ongoing special counsel investigation led by robert mueller. michael cohen and his a cce pta nce mueller. michael cohen and his acceptance of saying he's going to testify before this committee, he says i look forward to having this privilege to give a credible account of what transpires. with that fully incredible account be? well he will be under oath, and it will be must watch political viewing. what kind of things will the oversight committee want to ask him about? well that's a good question, something that's currently being debated on a lot of the us talk shows, as this news isjust breaking. remember, michael: pleaded guilty, and was sentenced for a number of offences, including campaignfinance number of offences, including campaign finance violations, and the lying as well. now, those campaign

finance violations related to payments that he made about two women who claimed that they had affairs with donald trump, one of them was the porn star, stormy daniels, now donald trump denied those affairs, but in prosecuting documents, michael, said that he was directed by donald trump to make those payments. so they could of course ask about that, but they could also ask about plans to build a trump tower in moscow, which michael coincide he was working on to the election campaign. they can ask about many things, that's why makes it such an important congressional hearing. thank you very much indeed next. us secretary of state mike pompeo is visiting 8 countries in the middle east, he's currently in egypt. and has been reiterating america's commitment to defeating the islamic state group. remember donald trump has said it has been defeated, which is why he announced a us withdrawal from syria. remember donald trump has said it has been defeated, which is why he announced a us withdrawal from syria. it can get confusing. here's mr pompeo earlier.

we will continue to assist our partners in efforts to guard borders, prosecute terrorists, screen travellers, assist refugees, and more. but assist is the key phrase, we ask every peace—loving nation in the middle east to shoulder new responsibilities for defeating islamic extremism wherever we find it. remember defence secretary james mattis' resigned over the president's announcement on syria. he said "you have the right to have a secretary of defense whose views are better aligned with yours". well he has a secretary of state who's certainly willing to do the diplomatic clearing up. in mike pompeo. which is in part what he's been asked to do during this trip. mr pompeo was speaking from cairo. on wednesday he made an unannounced visit to iraq. if implemented, president trump's decision to withdraw troops from syria would have major implications for both countries. the bbc‘s nafiseh kohnavard has

been to a us outpost on the syria—iraq border, where the long battle against islamic state militants is farfrom over. a us artillery unit getting locked and loaded. this is iraq's border with syria. there are more than 200 us and french boots on the ground here. set up just a month ago, we have been given exclusive access to this place on iraq's border with syria. for all the talk of the defeat of the islamic state group, this unit is working around—the—clock to fight the militants. and the threat here is very real. we have a isis convoy that was heading from the river, we will be able to see here

in the second, they were heading north across the desert to attack the sdf location. how big was that? it was at least, i think it was about half a dozen vehicles. full of fighters. the fight against isis means there is no more than 5000 us troops positioned across iraq. the reality is that isis is very fluid, and you know, of coursejust blend back in with the population. you know, they can bejust driving a white pick—up truck come and move within just a few kilometres of the iraqi border. we visited this place a few days before president trump's surprise announcement to pull troops out of syria. now we've won, it's time to come back, they are getting ready, you're going to see them soon. but he has since made it clear that the boots on the ground here iraq will stay. we have been told that these remote us posts will not , now.

take on a much more important role in the fight against isis. i don't think it's helpful to try to put a timeline to this fight. i think what's important is that, not only do we defeat isis, but then also help the iraqi security forces to be able to prevent the re—emergence. so it's not simply a military defeat, but also a long—lasting partnership that we want to maintain with the iraqi security forces. and questions remain about america's wider lot in the middle east, it's clear what their allies think about the plan. us allies are concerned that this could create a vacuum in the region.

a vacuum that could be filled by iran. it all looks the same from here, but the area behind me is controlled by many different forces, on my right, we have the syrian army, lebanese law, and forces royalty. and on the left, there is the syrian democratic forces come up backed by the us as well as is. these i backed paramilitaries have played a key role in the fight against these islamic states. but they have always opposed the us presence in the region. for them, the us leaving in syria is good news. the mixed messages from washington

have created a web of confusion on the ground. until the white house has made a clear decision, these soldiers in iraq will be waiting in the wings. bbc news on the iraq keyboarding with serious. law enforcement officials in spain have arrested 15 people in an investigation into tennis match—fixing. but in this press release, they said 83 people were implicated, among them 28 players from the itf futures and challenger tours. and that one of the players competed at last year's us open. these pictures show a raid that was carried out as part of the investigation. 11 house searches had been carried

out in spain in which 167,000 euros in cash was seized, that's almost $200,000. the eu police agency europol was involved in the operation. this is an excellent result from the spanish police in from the other agencies that work directly in this. we started this around 201a, when we did detected this wasn't a criminal trend, i think that there is enough evidence for at least to consider that there was actually a big —— a new criminal trend. criminal structure, an armenian based organised crime group, that has huge connections to russian organised crime, russian mafia. connections to top thieves in law, these investigations will still continue, new evidence is being analysed, and of course new arrests might be expected. azi farni, bbc sport ssingle source what more do we know about how the match fixing worked? yes, well we heard from them at the

european police agency, and they've said that it's an armenian criminal gang behind it. they say that there we re gang behind it. they say that there were 97 matches that were fixed in total. those matches were in the idf and futures and challengers tournament. so the men's atp and the women's tennis association which is a top—level, and this is kind of the lower levels of sports, involving the kind of players that we don't really ever hear about. now, there was one professional tennis player who acted as a link between the gang and the sort of tennis world, and then players, professional players we re then players, professional players were bribed to, for predetermined results in matches, and once those bribes were made, it's alleged that the members of the gang would come into the matches to kind of, i guess put some extra pressure on them, make sure the players then agreed to, did that matches the way that they were agreed. it's also alleged

that these members of the gang used identities of thousands of citizens to place the bets on those matches. and do we know how the police came about and operation of the scale? well, it's been the result of a long investigation by the tennis integrity unit. they started this because they've were concerned about irregular activities relating to prearranged matches in the tournaments, now that t! used, that tennis integrity unit, was set up backin tennis integrity unit, was set up back in 2009 to look into corruption in tennis, and they've had a busy few years, in tennis, and they've had a busy few yea rs, you in tennis, and they've had a busy few years, you may remember a joint bbc investigation in 2016 which uncovered suspected illegal betting, well asked you the ti you said that sanctions against corruption offences sanctions against corruption offe nces ha d sanctions against corruption offences had hit a ten year high and there was a report that came out by there was a report that came out by the independent review panel that match fixing is a pandemic across levels of the sport. you know, these

are the players that are being targeted, and the players that play in the tournaments that we mentioned, the idea futures and challengers, they are the players that don't really make a lot of money from the sport. some of them do, some of them don't, some of them lose money if they don't do as well in the sport. they are the sorts of players that are being targeted, and offer these bribes. thank you very much for taking a spirit we appreciate it. stay with us on outside source, still to come. we'll go live to canada, where frozen water has stranded dozens of seals. how the town are helping save them. we will speak to the mayor. the uk's biggest car maker, jaguar landrover, has confirmed it's cutting four and a half thousand jobs. many local businesses in the midlands rely on it, so what impact will the job losses have for them? sima kotecha has been finding out. manufacturing is what they do in the midlands,

its economy depends on the sector. here in warwichshire, they make a0,000 metal components forjlr every month. and job losses there are causing nervousness here, because of potential effects to the supply chain. they're cutting down on important jobs like the design functions and things like that, where his future in business going? are they continuing to build new models? will they be built locally? will they be built in other areas of the world? but it could have a major effect throughout the whole of the industry. and it's disappointing that it's focused here in the west midlands. jlr is often described as the powerhouse of the west midlands. its a region that has a rich manufacturing heritage, with companies such asjlr forming the heart of communities. but today's news is bound to create uncertainty among the young, who were planning for their futures here. some students choose to go to coventry university because of its close ties tojlr.

when you see on the news thatjobs are going and places are laying people off, it's always worrying. especially the interest or you're looking to going into. but saying that, the market changes quite quickly. they're sort of a lot of technology and development. so what is happening now might not be happening in two years' time. so worried but optimistic that the future? yes. the announcement ofjlr's new assembly centre near birmingham, along with further production at its wolverhampton plant, provides some hope for workers. but that is little consolation for those affected by today's cuts. sima kotecha, bbc news, coventry. this is outside source live from the bbc newsroom. our lead story is? president trump is at the us—mexican border to try and win support for his plan to build a wall there. yemen.

a drone attack by rebels on a government base has reportedly killed six soldiers. this is what happened. the drone approaches the parade ground and then explodes above a covered vip podium. several high—ranking officers and officials were watching there to watch a military parade. this other video gives a better indication of the force of the blast. the man we saw speaking survived, others didn't. this is a picture of the drone's wing on the ground after the attack.

you might find these next pictures of the aftermath distressing. medics say the army deputy chief of staff, a senior army commander, and the local governor were among those hurt. this all happened at al—anad base, in the southern province of lahj. and the attack puts huge pressure on a ceasefire that was brokered by the un for the vital port of hudaydah. it's so important because yemen is the world's worst humanitarian disaster, and the port is the main route for aid. here's yemen's foreign minister on the state of the ceasefire. " after almost a month since the signing of the stockholm agreement, nothing on the ground has been achieved.

the rebels have refused to pull out of the city and the ports. just a reminder of the background of this war, because it's been going on for a number of years. the conflict very much escalated in 2015, when they seized control of much of the west of the country. because they're seen as a proxy for the iranians committed saudi arabians got involved, and a coalition attempted to restore the government, in the meantime though, the un is saying close to 7000 civilians have been killed, and many more have been injured. we've been speaking to bbc monitoring the the latest on the cease—fire. the cease—fire hasn't been holding very well since it was announced. both sides are accusing each other of having violated the agreement, and it's because both sides want to have some influence in... prior to any further

agreement, prior to any further talks that could be held, because there are still some, this ambiguity over who's going to be in control of the city after the withdrawal. and where does this drone attack fit into their broader discussions around the cease—fire? the... are portraying it as a response to what they call an escalation by government forces, who are backed by the saudi military coalition. so, they are making the link, but they are saying that they are defending themselves against the escalations by the government forces. and they are saying that there's something, a message, that this is how much power they wield, and it's, i think it's because of any upcoming talks that they believe that there needs to be some sort of balanced power between the two sides. but are there any talk scheduled at the moment? no, there wasn't any, there was no set date, and even the the un is not sure

about the upcoming trajectory, the upcoming trajectory of talks. butjust yesterday, the un was saying that substantial progress needs to be made, and i remember even during the opening talks, the un, special envoy was saying that no one needs to get their hopes up, that they still, there is still a lot of steps that need to be taken. so i think that's not a lack of emphasis was put on this agreement from the very beginning. and we must always focus on the humanitarian element of the story as well, is aid still coming through for the moment? the un is trying to put as many monitors on the ground as possible to facilitate the entrance of goods and services, but of course as far as, as long as there is, attacks by

government forces, the entry of shipments will not be as normal as it could be, into the city. if you want more background on yemen, you can find online on bbc news. next outside source deemed to a lot of canadians reading about a new comment. dozens of seals have become stranded in a town called roddickton—bide arm. these are pictures posted by a resident. it's thought that almost a0 seals became stranded after nearby waters suddenly froze over last week, preventing them from returning to the sea. the detail you need to understand here is that mac it's against canadian law to interfere with marine mammals like seals. so they're blocking traffic, and the entrances to homes and businesses — but no—one can touch them. the same person who posted that video has also been tweeting.

here's a tweet from that same resident, brendon fitzpatrick. tweet @brendonfitzpat3 one on its way to the gas station tweetpic. it makes for amusing pictures, but it's serious. two of the seals have already been run over. it's not clear what's going to happen to the rest of them. but speak to sheila fitzgerald the mayor of the town. thank you for your time today. are the seal still stuck? absolutely. this year is a very unique year. we always get seals this time of yearjust before the winter, before the ice freezes. when i say we get a few, we might get a handful. nature takes its course, and they take care of it. they are instinctual animals, they usually make their way back out to the edge of the ice, unfortunately, this year, we had high winds and high tides last week, and it broke the seals and close to town, and then theice seals and close to town, and then the ice froze behind them. so now,

they are about i'd say four to five miles away. they are four or five miles away. they are four or five miles away. they are four or five miles away from the edge of the ice, so they are here. they are stranded. it's been a week, we figured nature would take care of it, and they would take care of it, and they would find their way back to the edge of the ice, but unfortunately that hasn't happened. so it looks like they are disoriented. and actually stranded in our town. and if you aren't allowed to take action under no authorities within canada who could perhaps help them? the theory is, we do have it's a government department called the fisheries and oceans, we call it the dfl. they have officers who are able to deal with the seals. you have to appreciate, we say a0, that may be a conservative number or it could be more than that, because they move around, its hard to get a good count of them. there are two openings by our town that are brooks that run into salt water, so they are hanging out in these brooks, but as you can appreciate, there's not enough fish in these brooks to keep them satisfied, they wander into town. just as your introduction stated, we are seeing them in our driveways, our backyards, on the roads, one was on the way to the

hospital today. it was actually on the steps to our local clinic./ so the steps to our local clinic./ so the response has been that we call the response has been that we call the department of fisheries and oceans, and they will send out officers. the water hole is literally just feet away from the roads, they are coming back up on the roads again. it's gotten so big, and lasted so long, that the council got together on tuesday and said we have to come up with a formal action. sheila i have to come up here, i'm up against the end of the programme and! here, i'm up against the end of the programme and i want to have time to wish you and the seals well. please keep us posted. thank you for joining us here on the bbc. on this edition of outside source, we will see you next week at the usual time. bye— bye. it has been a dry january across much of the uk. the clouds continued on thursday, this picture was taken

by one of our weather watchers endorsing. now things are not changed in a hurry, we've had high pressure really since the start of 2019. atlantic. they will come more at play in our weather, as we head through the weekend. over the next few days, as things come out more u nsettled. it is also going to be turning milder. you can see a return to those yellow colours moving in on that northwesterly breeze. for friday, it is not quite as cold as it has been first thing in the morning. over recent days with some frosty starts. it shouldn't be frosty on friday. could be a bit of misty mess around during the morning. one or two showers across the far northwest of scotland. but a largely dry day for the rest of the country. sunny spells a breakthrough during the afternoon and temperatures will be a touch less cold out. around 7—10d. friday evening seeing some rain arriving in the northwest. rain for scotland and northern ireland initially. the winds are picking up here too. that band of patchy rain then moves its way into central parts of england and wales to start off the weekend. and so saturday, pretty mild start to the day. we have got breezy conditions

lasting through the day. all courtesy of this weather front as it sinks his way gradually southeastward across the uk. it will introduce some showery rain. they should clear away. it should be an improvement picture on saturday. a return to some sunnier skies during the afternoon. more rain later in the day. into northern and western parts of scotland. it will be quite a blustery feeling today. but milder than it has been. we are back into double figures at about 9—11d. sunday the windy or date of the weekend, so you will notice the strength of the wins coming in from the northwest. driving that mix of sun and cloud and scattered showers. most of the showers on sunday will be across northern and western parts. further south and east, you are more likely to stay dry through the day. temperatures 11 or 12 degrees, very mild really for the stage in january. looking further ahead for sunday night and on into monday, we will start to lose those weather fronts off towards the east. in this area of high pressure once again builds and from the southwest. that will bring us a pretty quiet tart to the new working week.

perhaps one or two showers in parts of scotland. a bit of a wintry flavour in the highest of the mountains here. for most of us it is looking mild once again. and largely dry with some sunny spells. temperatures between around 7—11d on monday. into tuesday, another mostly dry day. more of a westerly influence an hour wind by the state in the week. we have got some rain lingering across northern scotland, dry conditions elsewhere. temperatures are still mild around 5—11d on tuesday. a subtle change into the middle part of next week. and the jet stream, this is the lens about six miles above our head, start to become more mobile, more westerly. that means we are more likely to see those weather systems diving into the atlantic. also a cold air mass takes charge towards the end of next week. with that cold air mass, and the influence of the low—pressure likely to move across the uk, we could see a bit of a change in weather type as we look towards the latter part of next week and on into next weekend.

a spell of slightly colder weather is on the way. in the longer—range outlook. a return to some night—time frost and mostly over the hills in the north half of the uk. that is it for now. bye— bye. tonight at ten — jaguar land rover is to cut thousands ofjobs in the uk, as part of a major drive to cut costs. the company blames the slowdown in sales in china, doubts about the future of diesel, and the uncertainty over brexit. i totally respect the democratic votes of the uk population, and so we have to cope with it. but it's also quite clear that we support no to no deal.

there are a,500 jobs at risk, but there's concern too among those companies that supply jaguar. if they're going to cut down the work, we're going to lose work, so the future doesn't look that good at the moment for any of us. and ford has said today it will review all of its european operations to try to boost profits. we'll have the latest.
