hello, i'm ros atkins, this is outside source. three years after voting to leave the eu, britain will be taking part in the european elections. voters will have to choose new representatives in europe, because the british government has run out of time to sort brexit before the vote. ideally, we would like to be in a situation where that is from the uk never have to take seats in the european parliament. meanwhile talks on a compromise brexit deal between labour and the government restarted with low expectations on both sides, we'll bring you all the analysis. some good news out of myanmar, two reuters journalists are freed, after 500 days injail linked to their reporting on an atrocity. doubts about us china trade talks

have been sending financial markets sharply downwards again. and we'll be looking at the diesel emissions scandal — as car—maker porsche is fined almost $600 million for cheating. the uk is definitely going to take part in european elections that begin later this month. the british government says there simply isn't time for brexit to be agreed before then. here's the cabinet office secretary. given how little time there is, is that it's regrettably not going to be possible to finish that process before that date that

legally due for the european parliamentary elections. we very much hope that we would be able to get our exit sorted, had the treaty which are all concluded, so those elections did not have to take place, but legally they do have to take place and as our withdrawal has been given the legal effect, so those will now go ahead, but we will be redoubling our efforts and talks with mps of all parties to try to make sure the delay after that is as short as possible ideally we would like to be in a situation where there is an ep from the uk never have to take their seats at the european parliament. and certainly to get this done and dusted by the summer access. you heard david lidington refering to talks with the opposition. they resumed today. the main issue is the eu's customs union. that's a system that means all of the eu's members share the same import and export tariffs. the opposition wants the uk to stay within the customs

union after brexit. the prime minister has always said this shouldn't happen. but even if there is a deal. laura kuenssberg says labour is worried any agreement could be ripped up if there's a change of tory leadership. here's labour'sjohn mcdonnell. so far we have maintain confidentiality on that i need again this afternoon i think they'll go on for the rest of this he and then we will see where we act. i am hoping yes we can see movement in government and have not seen it yet, so we'll see what happens in the discussions today, we are not setting any deadlines and the government might but we are not, we are trying to do the best for the country. well theresa may is under severe pressure to set a resignation date. this afternoon she met sirgraham brady — he's the chair of a group which represents backbench tory mps. it also oversees conservative leadership contests.

the prime minister's office is insisting the meeting was routine — maybe. but we know that local tory associations have confirmed they will hold a vote of confidence in her leadership on isjune. but in terms of process — what would need to happen for the prime minister to go. here's correspondent ben wright at westminster. well, the local association chairman getting together and having a bed of confidence while it will be moment symbiotically and if that is carried in a clearly be pretty tough for that track , premise into a dark, it has an actually forced anything, it's a symbolic stand against her by the party grassroots, in terms of actual mechanism that exists for it disgruntled tory mps to try and winkle trees and they are not the number ten, really they had their shot before christmas when they triggered a confidence ballot, there was a boat to the tory mps

and the prime minister won it. and that process cannot happen again as the tory party rules for another 12 months, so she is safety erratically until december, now there has been discussion among tory mps about whether or not they may try to change those rules. so far, so grand so far, sarah graham brady was the chief chap stewart avenue tory mps has dismissed the idea that that could happen, but he did see the prime minister today, we do not know what the talks involved, but we do know clearly that a lot, local elections weren't miserable for the conservative party, and labour and there are a number of tory mps to think that somehow, getting read teresa may in the short—term, very would help joel at a jump start this process and prevent further damage being done to the tory brand. but there are many other tory mps that think that's entirely wishful thinking and that the only way through this, is to find some sort of compromise with labour to get through the house of commons.

stay with us then because while all this is happening in the uk, we had from the president of the european commission, is looking back to the brexit referendum campaign in 2016. the second mistake i made was to listen too carefully to the british government, cameron, because the then prime minister asked me not to interfere and intervene in the referendum campaign. it was a mistake not to intervene and not to interfere. because we would have been the only ones to destroy the lies, which were circulated around. i was wrong to be silent at that important moment. probably worth pointing out that not eve ryo ne probably worth pointing out that not everyone would have welcomed a further intervention from him in 2016. no, number ten would not have wanted i don't think that's started

involvement from the european commission. i think i'm right in saying that what intervention by barack 0bama, the then president 0bama, which is sort of backfired really for the remaining campaign and i think that leave campaign successfully managed to turn that around because they said they don't want foreign leaders interfering in this referendum campaign and i think that the intervention perhaps from senior figures within the european commission and parliament we perhaps have been counterproductive, but i think this is once again the european commission suggesting they didn't really fully understand what was on the line back in the referendum of 2016 and they certainly, i mean i've heard it said in brussels before, that if only we had known at the uk would vote to leave, perhaps i could have changed the whole right up to that boat and the renegotiation david cameron and bart on, which the eu insists they still went very far to meeting its demands, but i think they feel that david cameron was not candid and not with them about the real possibility of the uk boating to leave.

if you want more information i brexit find it on the bbc news website. the two reuters journalists who were jailed for their reporting of the rohingya crisis in myanmar have been freed. they've been in prison in yangon for 500 days. this was the moment wa lone and kyaw soe 0o were released. the media was there in force to capture the moment. both men were convicted in september of handling confidential documents and were given a seven year sentence. they were jailed because of this article. it was an investigation into the killing of ten muslim rohinga men by the burmese military in 2017. theirjailing was an assault on press freedom and raised questions about myanmar‘s democracy. it also led to international condemnation. here's wa lone earlier.

thank you very much to those who helped us and supported us domestically and internationally during those days we are in prison. the journalists were released along with thousands of other prisoners. it's part of mass amnesties that take place annually around new year in myanmar. this was the most important moment. both men were reunited with the families. wa lone's baby girl was born while he was in prison. here's reuters editor in chief. we are enormously pleased that myanmar has released our courageous reporters since their arrest at 511 days ago, they have become symbols of the importance of press freedom around the world and we welcome their return. this story did untold damage to the repuation of myanmar‘s de facto leader aung san su kyi.

she's a nobel peace prize winner, a former political prisoner herself. remember, myanmar was ruled by the military for nearly 50 years. aung san su kyi gave up herfreedom standing up to the ruling generals. upon her release from house arrest after 15 years, she led the national league for democracy to a majority win in myanmar‘s first openly—contested election in 25 years in 2015. but she defended these journalists being imprisoned. here's one of her confidant‘s lord ara darzi. because there is a strong belief in this country on the judiciary and seeing the whole pathway of the lot taking its course. and i was absolutely delighted, this is an amazing day that we should all celebrate and reflect on where this country is going and how we can use dialogue with the international community to drive the improvement that are necessary.

the report for which the men were jailed was accurate — and it earned the men a pulitzer prize for international reporting. jonathan head has more on what they discovered. the two men conducted one of the most important investigations into alleged atrocities by the burmese military in rakhine state. the flood of rohingya refugees into bangladesh brought with them harrowing tales out of massacres, rapes and brutal killings. but these two reporters obtained eyewitness testimony by non—muslims from the village of the murder of ten rohingya and then detained by the security forces. their report forced the army to admit for the first time that its troops had killed people unlawfully. many believe that this is the real reason the two journalists are prosecuted.

wa lone and kyaw soe 0o's story has had an affect on other investigative journalists in the region. here's one journalist in yangon on that. i think it sent a very loud and clear message to both local and foreign journalists working in this country that lost being described as a genocide against the rohingya, the investigative work on that story is a redline for the military and if you are going to go up to rakhine and start digging around and looking into things like massacres and gathering added that the military crimes against the rohingya, you are going to come down on you pretty hard. stay with us on 0utside source — still to come... it's considered one of the world's most luxurious car—makers — but porsche has been hit with a mammoth fine for cheating diesel emissions tests. a british soldier has been killed by an elephant while on an anti—poaching operation in malawi.

guardsman mathew talbot was helping to train park rangers. the bbc‘s james waterhouse spent some time with a counter—poaching operation in malawi last year. well this is quite a grueling schedule for what's now 120 british soldiers, nappy was working in an enormous national park in the south of malawi, the three main species they are looking after our lions, black rhinos and elephants and we were told when we were out there it's the black rhinos who were the most hostile, and very wary of humans and excellent sense of smell. the elephants conversely, they were doing it to us, they did a dummy charge, so they dragged their feet and the soil, flare their ears, very intimidating and then charge if necessary and what has happened here it appears is long grass played a factor. seven foot tall grass at this time of year, and he came across a group of elephants and unfortunately they charged and he lost his life.

this is 0utside source live from the bbc newsroom. 0ur lead story is... )theresa may's government has confirmed the uk will take part in european elections — three years after the referendum when the public voted to leave the eu. trade talks between the us and china are coming to a head. on monday, president trump threatened to increase tariffs on billions of dollars‘ worth of goods that china exports to the us. despite that, today china said it remains committed to the talks. this was the announcement on state tv. it told viewers that a chinese delegation will go to washington on thursday — that's a day later than originally planned. vice—premier, liu he wil lead the delegation. you can see him here in previous negotiations with with his us counterparts.

here's a spokesperson for china's foreign ministry. adding tariffs can't resolve any problem, what i need to make clear here is that talks are by their nature a positive discussion. —— process. it's normal for both sides to have differences, china won't shun the problems, and it's sincere about continuing talks. donald trump's threat of more tariffs caused a major wobble on the financial markets this is the dowjones index in new york — in the last few minutes it's closed down nearly 2%. and of course this trade war has implications for many countries beyond the us and china. this is the french foreign minister. something is happening in the champions league, something is happening between the pump by celinda will get back to you on that

but ina celinda will get back to you on that but in a moment i'll carry on talking about the trade talks, he is a moment i'll carry on talking about the trade talks, is the french foreign minister. global growth is slowing down and the first reason why is the risk of trade war. the main french and european concern remains at the risk of a well traded conflict driven by trade tensions between china and the united states. the activity a few minutes ago, liverpool three men against barcelona and the second leg of the champions league semifinal, three narrow down from the leg at that new cam, so narrow down from the leg at that new cam, so now narrow down from the leg at that new cam, so now they are three all and it looks like another extraordinary night and feel it will keep you posted but let's stay with the subject and bring in a few regulars. samira hussain from our business unit in new york. sorry about the delay i know the things are pointed, but let's talk about where we've gone too, for

people who have not been following this, what's at stake this week? this is a big deal when it comes to nailing down an agreement between the united states and china, i rememberjust the united states and china, i remember just up until last the united states and china, i rememberjust up until last week, we thought we are at the end stages of this and there was talk at the signing ceremony between trump and the chinese president, but now we are hearing at increased tariffs and anger on the posturing of both sides, and what has happened is according to the white house, it seems that the chinese delegation has been walking back from some of the agreements they already made and changing the language on the plane said it's agreed on and that's really riled the president, hence his tweet earlier saying he wants to ratchet up the carrots —— terrace today 5%. stay with us, i want to

highlight an editorial. want to highlight this editorial in the chinese state—run newspaper, the people's daily. it takes a defiant line, arguing that "maintaining strength is the most important factor" in dealing with the us. zhaoyin, in washington box 2(q china the african sessions? if you look at the people state, and criticise the us threat of raising tariffs, and phrased china as the more rational partner of the negotiations. however, it also underlines the importance and a two economies coming together, so the fact that china top negotiator is still coming to washington this week, a kind of proves that that chinese had an appetite for trade deals and understand how much is at stake. if the tariffs it did go out on friday, from .2 to .5, the growth will be

wiped out in china's treaty, at worst the pessimistic atmosphere will linger, and had a greater impact on the bilateral investment plan. and cost water deals. is the understanding that chinese delegation will help to resolve this on the trip? cell under trump's ultimatum, i think the two countries will have to make progress on some of the sticking points like force technology transfers and whether to move some of the existing terrace, and the us wants to make this commitment into chinese law, which was make out to the domestic audience, that the chinese had to be told what to do regarding domestic policies, especially by a powerful foreign country i feel i felt it'll be interesting to see how good that and it plays out this week. going back to samara, i want to highlight

this. highlight this. this article here by npr in the us looks at the fights in the white house on this issue. some advisers like trade adviser peter navarro arguing for tariffs, others are opposed. the rows were so fierce two camps that it's reported they had to be physically separated at one point. 0ne diplomat involved said they were even, "...having fights in front of the chinese delegation". gary cohn was the president's economic adviser until last year, he says, "every dollar of tariff that's collected is coming out of disposable income of the united states consumer". the point is the fact that he is not in the white house suggesting the argument went against him.|j in the white house suggesting the argument went against him. i think ultimately, if you look at who occupies the big chair in the white house, it's trump and we all know that he is a big proponent of using these kinds of terrorists, he that a before and imposed a before and the

fa ct before and imposed a before and the fact that we see him ratcheting it up fact that we see him ratcheting it up as an indication he believes it's a tactic that works. thank you both. authorities in germany have fined the car—maker porsche nearly six—hundred—million dollars over a diesel emissions scandal. porsche is owned by volkswagen — and it's all about nitrogen oxide emissions — as damien mcguinness explains. this is almost half one billion euros, there is a fine portion, and what they are accused of doing is not living up to their legal obligation of supervising the testing and a half in order to avoid cheating, so it's quite interesting case because porsche had clarified in their press release in reaction to the ruling that they themselves did not make these engines, they did not produce these engines, but they had used at the engines, because they are part of the group, and as a bw engine, which were used in porsche vehicles, and the admissions test were cheated.

so it's very much the same sort of scandal we have seen since 2015, whereby tasks were cheated using a special software which made the vehicles seem cleaner and more efficient than in reality, and it's exactly the same ongoing saga we have seen for years now where various different brands, particularly within that vw group had been really hit with happy fines, criminal charges in some cases, because at this testing, because customers say they had been hoodwinked into buying vehicles that were marked as clean and good for the environment when in fact much dirtier than they were supposed to be. the us says it will return almost $200—million to malaysia. the money was recovered from assets linked to the malaysian state fund 1mdb. this fund was set up in 2009 and was supposed to boost malaysia's

economy through strategic investments but the us says $4.5—billion was diverted into private pockets. leisha santorelli. how are you and we ask —— were expecting them to do it? they been trying to recover all of the stolen money for several years now and so what we are seeing our drips and drops of the money being written covered —— return, the last three yea rs covered —— return, the last three years us is covered over 300 million of stolen assets and in terms of 200 million talking about right now, comes from the sale of seized assets such as a cypriot and picasso paintings and in a new york hotel, as well as the wolf of wall street money that went into the financing of that, so how much more they need to recover, while over $4 billion allegedly was stolen so that's a

drop in comparison. where does this come from and he was recovered from. authorities believe most of the money was actually stolen by the mastermind behind the scandal at businessman, gelineau, who is on the right side of a businessman, gelineau, who is on the ryan centre they track them down we don't know what is happening to the bulk of that money but even if they catch them, i don't think malaysia will get all four and a half billion dollars for example us is been leading the investigation and the recovery efforts, so depending on how much they recover overall they will take to pay basically the investigators at the fbi department of justice have been investigators at the fbi department ofjustice have been putting in a lot of work into this, can you imagine trying to track down a money trail this complicated all around the world, it takes a huge amount of time and effort. where are we with prosecutions. missing several charges, obviously the most famous being the former malaysian minister we keep seeing his court date postponed, but he is basically the most high—profile one, we have two former goldman sachs bankers, who

had been charged in this case, the first has pleaded guilty, the second one was extradited to america over the weekend and pled guilty in the us court on monday, but their testimony, could play a role in the case of the us prosecutor stability against them. so we could see the investment bank and the foreign bank next for prosecution. thank you very mean “— next for prosecution. thank you very mean —— very much indeed, if you wa nt mean —— very much indeed, if you want more on the story, you can get it to the front page of bbc news website and click on business. if you go to the bbc news website is click on spike, you're going to see the extraordinary story, barcelona thrashed liverpool three now and the first leg of the champions league semifinal. the purple scored three goals of their own, and field three on aggregate, and we are going into the final minutes at that time, you can the final minutes at that time, you ca n follow the final minutes at that time, you can follow it on the light page on

the bbc sport app i will see you in a few minutes. we will start with a look at the weather picture across the united states, where a thunderstorms expected to develop notjust laid on tuesday, but on into wednesday as well. the area most at risk actually is a tornado alley, and there is a good reason for this. at the moment we had got a ridge of high pressure in the eastern pacific, this trough diving in from the rockies and that encourages air to rise, getting a big storm is starting to form and dust storms will be fed by moist air coming in from the gulf of mexico, you can see the wind coming from a different direction and altitude for the atmosphere creating the spin necessary for the big thunderstorms to break out, so a high chance of seeing tornadoes over the next 48 hours, and also large hail, potentially golfball size or tennis ball size hail. and managing winds as well and if that's not enough,

the rain itself could bring flash flooding with as much as 25—75 mm of rain, falling a very short space of time. talk about flooding across the south of china and the last 24 hours and so we had seen some heavy rain in the south of china, it's been caused by a trough of low pressure, notjust affecting the hiring here, but also northern vietnam and across the philippines you see widespread punishment activity continuing as well for the next few days, there is a risk of ongoing vendor downplays bringing flash flooding across is part of the world. the weather picture further south, we are taking a look at this cloud affecting eastern islands and indonesia, as an area of low pressure that'll bring torrential falls of rain, because it stays put and does not move in the next few days, so the wind may not strengthen to become a tropical storm, nevertheless could still bring problems of flooding and landslides across this part of eastern indonesia. the weather changing

for western europe, area blood pressure and edging its way and bringing welcome to rain after at the dry spell of weather we had seen last month, and not only affecting the united kingdom but lisi rain for a time across parts of france, the rain getting into spain and portugal using two sunshine and showers happy and find a time across parts of france, the rain getting into spain and portugal using two sunshine and showers happy and find every day during the day. temperature cold front bringing a strap of cloud and, and that's going to be that temperatures fall across eastern europe after what's been quite a warm spell of weather. the weather stays quite unsettled across northwest europe and the next two days but there that weekend and next week, signs of dry and warm conditions on the way, and that's likely here as well in the uk, for tomorrow it's a wet and windy day with it gradually clearing to sunshine and showers

across southern areas.

hello, i'm ros atkins, this is 0utside source. venezuela is in crisis — we'll be taking a look at the competing foreign interests in the country — from russia to the us and even cuba and china. translation: we see an unprecedented us led campaign, aimed at toppling the lawful authority of venezuela. theresa may's government has confirmed the uk will take part in european elections — three years after the referendum when the public voted to leave the eu. international condemnation is growing after the decision to rerun istanbul's mayoral election. the original result was seen as a significant defeat for turkey's ruling party. and there's a trial getting under way in the us where the leader

of a suspected sex cult is accused of overseeing a ‘slave and master‘ system. we‘re going to look at russia‘s role in venezuela now. as you‘ll know the opposition leader juan guaido has made severalfailed attempts to use protests to drive president maduro from power. he‘s even declared himself interim president — and the us and othes have recognised that. but mr maduro remains — in part because of his most powerful ally. this is the russian foriegn minister sergey lavrov. translation: we see an unprecedented us—led campaign toppling the lawful us—led campaign aimed at toppling

the lawful authority of venezuela. we condemn this campaign is a blatant violation unprecedented as a blatant violation unprecedented of all the international laws secured by the un chancellor. we call on the americans and all who support them to cancel irresponsible plans and act strictly according to international legislation. russia accuses of the us of reckless behaviour in its support of the opposition. us secretary of state mike pompeo in turn has said that, "every country must get out of venezuela. including russians" and has said that "military action is possible". in the past half an hour we‘ve had this update from the us vice president mike pence. here‘s a bit more of what he said. that is what the americans is saying and those sanctions and economic measures will be lifted. here‘s more

of what he said. venezuela is a struggle between dictatorship and democracy. nicolas maduro is a dictator with no legitimate claim to power and nicolas maduro must go. for six long years, the people of venezuela have suffered under the heavy hand of oppression. russia has political and economic reasons for wanting nicolas maduro to stay in power. and it‘s invested a lot of money in helping the venezuelan economy which was in a profound crisis because of mismanagement — and now there are us oil sanctions on its oil too. the times reports that russia and its state—controlled oil company rosneft has lent venezuela $16billion dollars since 2006. some of that‘s been paid in cheap oil. but not all. russia‘s also got big military contracts with venezuela. and there are reports

that it owes russia $3.1bn for an assortment of military hardware. now — last month as the pressure grew on nicolas maduro, this picture emerged of a russian plane in caracas. reuters reported it was carrying defense officials and nearly 100 troops. barbara plett usher — do we have any idea how much venezeual owes? much venezuela owes? i have heard the term billions, that includes lines of credit that the russians offered to them to buy military supplies and weapons and also the russians have invested billions in the oil field and they wa nt billions in the oil field and they want payback for that. so that is the reasons why they would not want to see nicolas maduro fail, they

wa nt to to see nicolas maduro fail, they want to return on their investments in the debt that is owed to them and they‘ll have to make a decision on whether or not he can do that. in the meantime, they have helped them out as he‘s come under fire and come under pressure. that said military personnel, the understand to help service the weapons and give him support. they have helped him with some ways to offset the us sanctions, get some of the oil out to export some of the oil that is under sanction. nothing that makes a huge impact but it does give him some support and particular, some political and military support for there. they‘re not cutting off their men, their standing with him and that was at least going to dry out the situation longer than the opposition would like to see. and longer than the americans like to see. venezuela is vital to russia‘s ability to influence south america. and this new york times article argues that that allows

vladimir putin to challenge america in its own backyard. in return, venezuela is a vocal supporter of russia on a range of issues including its actions in syria. iam very i am very much focused on what is happening right now, but is there a long history of russia and america using venezuela as a vehicle to exert influence? there is a long relationship between russia and venezuela. but i do not know if it erupted into a cold war attention, to the extent like it as now. i think that the russians relish using this toehold that they have of latin america to remind the united states that they are around and this is something that the trump administration has reacted to quite strongly. to what extent, it

actually means that the russians will be able to affect the balance of power, if they will be able to increase their own influence, latin america is not entirely clear. this is not their backyard, there are many miles away, so to throw resources like this to truly make an impact would require quite a lot. but they are able to show the united states that they are ready to back there man and to challenge it and make it very concerning. this is something that the trump administration is quite worried about. it is not want to see something like this and venezuela. russia isn‘t the only countries offering its support to nicolas maduro. on that list you‘ll find, china, cuba, and turkey among others. juan guaido for his part is backed by more than 50 countries including the us,

the uk, and brazil. in the past hour we‘ve had another update from caracas. announcing a criminal investigation against lawmakers allegedly can reconsider this court be politically neutral? it is controlled by supporters of nicolas maduro, so it is dominated by the opposition, saying that doesn‘t really recognise this court. but as an institution of the state, the state is what has power, it is open to criminal investigations against

six lawmakers. we know it is six, who anticipated in this uprising led byjuan guaido, the question is to what do we pursue that. is this just meant to intimidate them or what exactly, but interestingly, they did not listjuan guaido as someone they‘re going to be criminally investigating. and that fits a pattern that the government and the institutions of state try to target the people around juan guaido rather than the man himself. we were at parliament this morning, the national assembly was allowed to meet and national assembly was allowed to meetand mrjuan national assembly was allowed to meet and mrjuan guaido was allowed to meet, he addressed the situation and that european ambassadors while he was there. it is a strange situation where nobody‘s quite sure what will happen next, the situation is being created where people are quickly arrested but will need to see that as a thread in the background.

you know how football clubs are famous for football winning, it was three know down as he went into the second leg of the semifinals against barcelona, but they just scored again semifinals against barcelona, but theyjust scored again and is now 4-0, theyjust scored again and is now 4—0, they are about ten minutes left of the entire time, if no one scores in the next ten minutes. liverpool will have pulled off the biggest comeback in their history. international condemnation is growing of the decision to rerun istanbul‘s mayoral election. remember, president erdogan‘s ak party lost that vote — it was seen as a significant defeat. well, now, it‘ll have another go at winning injune. the president says "organised crime and serious corruption" affected the original vote. here he is. translation: we see this decision as the best step that

will strengthen our will to solve problems within the framework of democracy and law. and arbitrate the popular will. not everyone sees it like that. these elections took place at the end of march. the ak party won 51% of the votes nationwide — but the opposition won in istanbul and the capital ankara. and istanbul really matters. the president himself has said repeatedly over the years "whoever wins istanbul, wins turkey." it‘s the commerical and cultural capital of turkey — mark lowen is the bbc‘s turkey correspondent. while president erdogan was on typically conspiratorial form today in parliament, he was speaking to supporters and he talked of dark circles and plots against his party that had deprived it of victory in the istanbul local election on the 31st of march. he targeted businessmen, so—called elites, economic saboteurs

as he put it and he said the rerun of the election that is being decided by the election board will increase turkey‘s democracy and rule of law. that is not how the opposition sees it, they say that this was a decision taken under extreme political pressure by president erdogan and it is unprecedented in turkish electoral history of the election board to cancel an election in order a rerun in this way. this is a very risky strategy for president erdogan mainly because of three things. firstly, because of the economic impact that will happen because of this rerun. already there was a currency plunge today on the news. secondly, because his own party is divided over this, his predecessor and a former finance minister are on the verge of splitting and forming their own party. so they are unhappy by the direction turkey is taking and thirdly, because the leader of deposition who won the election by a sliver back in march is gaining popularity fast.

he could already increase his margin of victory during this rerun. but president erdogan is determined to go for this, he is determined not to lose the city that he was born in and in which he once ran as mayor, he has outplayed all of his opponents over 16 years in power, could he now have overplayed his own hand? stay with us on 0utside source — still to come. police in india have arrested more than 50 women who were protesting outside the supreme court in delhi. we‘ll have the details. a paralysed man who lives with what he calls excruciating pain has begun a legal challenge to overturn the law against assisted dying. clive coleman reports. this was a young, fit paul lamb 30 years ago before he was paralysed from the neck down following a car crash. he now lives with constant pain and wants to be able to end his life

at a time he chooses, but he‘d need help, and the law criminalises assisting a suicide. when it‘s bad, it‘s like i‘ve been smashed on the back of my neck with a baseball bat. it‘s the worst thing in the world for somebody to say, you‘re going to be here for the rest of your life, and i‘m going to make sure you‘re here for a lot of years. it somewhat can be construed as torture. in 2015, amidst heated public debate, mps comprehensively rejected a bill that would have legalised assisted dying for the terminally ill who had less than six months to live. but paul lamb‘s case is different. though incurably suffering, he is not terminally ill, and he argues that, since his last challenge, more people favour legalising assisted dying.

countries like canada have adopted it, the royal college of physicians has dropped its opposition, and parliament has failed to consider cases like his. but some see real danger to any change in the law. legalising it is going to be dangerous for us all and has to be resisted. paul‘s challenge is the next stage of the complex journey in deciding where the law should stand on the rights of those who wish to end their lives but need help to do so. this is 0utside source live from the bbc newsroom. 0ur lead story is? theresa may‘s government has confirmed the uk will take part in european elections — three years after the referendum when the public

voted to leave the eu. in the us, the leader of a suspected sex cult is in court today for the start of his trial. keith raniere is accused of overseeing a ‘slave and master‘ system where female members were expected to have sex with him. they were also branded with his initials this is one of those brandings. it was part of a self—empowerment group called nex—eeam: this used to be its website, it‘s been taken down. its motto was: ‘working to build a better world‘. the usjustice department disagrees, tthis is its website detailing this is its website detailing the charges against raniere. they include all of which he denies. five women have already pleaded guilty to their involvement in the group.

one of them — alison mack — is known for starring in the us television series smallville. these pictures are from last month as she attended her trial in new york. mack has admitted to recruiting women by telling them they were joining a female mentorship group. she may now testify against keith raniere. mr raniere‘s trial is taking place in the same court. nada tawfik, new york. do we know who will be testifying against it? what we do know is that it will be set to the next several members of his inner circle and possibly some of the women victims who were considered his slaves. but we do not know yet if that will in fa ct we do not know yet if that will in fact include allison mack or the man charged and pled guilty to bankrolling a lot of their

activities. and a lot of the graphic and explicit evidence that we have expected to come up should include dramatic testimony from these women. do we have any indications of what the prosecution but they will deploy? this was an important day in court where they had their opening statement where they were able to frame their case. they told the jury that he had really sold himself as someone that he had really sold himself as someone who is intelligent, very ethical someone who considered himself the likes of einstein and gandhl himself the likes of einstein and gandhi, but he used his power to prey on young women that he had used them emotionally and physically by basically promising them wealth, money, power and then exploiting them to be a part of the sex cult

and he dominated the women, he had com plete and he dominated the women, he had complete control but the defence says that these women had signed up for invm voluntarily, no one forced them into it and while he was strict with assigning tasks that he was not the criminal mastermind that being depicted as. did it begin at something and morph into something else? well invm goes back to 1998 where it ran self—improvement workshops across america and central america and mexico. but even prosecutors say that the charges that were laid for several courses, where to trap women. horses would help them reach different stages of seniority and invm but then they would go into debt and feel like they had to keep working with the group to get themselves out of that debt and they said keith raniere

really exploited these women so when he created this exclusive sorority, which is basically a pyramid scheme of sex slaves and masters, these women had to give compromising information, whether it be financial assets, nude photos to be a part of this group and according to documents, these women had to go on low calorie diets, they were branded with his name and for us to have sex with his name and for us to have sex with him. —— forced. talks in northern ireland are seeking to end over two years of political deadlock — and restore power—sharing. at the moment it has no devolved government. the power sharing arrangements were created by the 1998 good friday agreement which ended decades of violence. these talks are the first since negotiations collapsed early last year. the talks follow the murder of the journalist leerra mckee in derry last month. politicians from all parties attended her funeral — and came under pressure

to solve the impasse. the talks also come days after local elections in northern ireland. the two main parties — the unionist dup and the republican sinn fein — still came top — but there was a surge of support for smaller parties not aligned to either unionism or republicanism. that too may have focused minds. here sinn fein and the dup. 0ur negotiation team is ready to participate fully in good faith to participate fully in good faith to participate constructively to get to an agreement and an agreement that is built on a solid, the most solid foundation of equality, respect, recognition and inclusion. we are following these processes to find a way forward that is balanced and one that everyone in northern ireland is co mforta ble that everyone in northern ireland is

comfortable with. whether they are unionist, nationalist or other. the bbc‘s emma vardy has been following developments from belfast. it all collapsed two and a half yea rs it all collapsed two and a half years ago when he walked out in protest over the mishandling of a green energy scheme but there has been this bitter standoff between the parties and that bitter stalemate now includes lots of other issues that need to be resolved. so will they be able to overcome those? i think the death of lira brought a renewed appetite for compromise, but the same time there is still this bitter divide over sinn fein‘s multiple stances, but there is often optimism but for these divisions, by the same time the party is currently fighting for the election campaign for the european elections which, during election campaigns being

filed out on the doorstep, the compromises softening but it is still rather difficult. police in india have arrested more than 50 women who were protesting outside the supreme court in delhi. the women are angry that this man — the chiefjustice of india has been cleared of sexual misconduct. his accuser is a former court employee. he‘s always dismissed the case saying: now, there are demands for a new inquiry. the judges who‘ve clear ranjan gogoi are refusing to release theirjudgement. here‘s divya arya in delhi. apart from the women who sort outside of the supreme court, an open letter to the supreme court standing with the and asking retired judges about the influence of the serving chiefjustice to think about the due process that is being set in the due process that is being set in the law by this very supreme court which framed the guidelines for

prevention or sexual harassment to uphold those and institute a new, fairand uphold those and institute a new, fair and unbiased inquiry. uphold those and institute a new, fairand unbiased inquiry. it uphold those and institute a new, fair and unbiased inquiry. it is worth remembering that this is the highest constitutional position in our country that is been facing such sexual harassment allegations and being given a clean sheet by this committee but the group has asked for a copy of this report, they have not been given a copy of the report thatis not been given a copy of the report that is on the chiefjustice of india not guilty, she has asked for that and said i need to know, why after giving so much evidence, no substance has been found to my allegations. 0nly substance has been found to my allegations. only when she gets that will she be able to decide what her next legal action is going to be. liverpool are within seconds of the greatest comeback of the club‘s history. three no down on the semifinal, they‘re currently winning

to feed and a pretty deep area of low pressure for wednesday, a lot of windy weather, wet weather as well, wintry across scotland as the low pressure once in the colder air and that wind channeling through the centre of scotland will feel particularly more cold, but the rain, look out for some thundershowers to the south across the southern britain. the step to roll out into the north sea, the tail end of the system is still going to make for a pretty murky day, with a lot of cloud around, rain in the northeast perhaps a few more snow showers, a few stray showers in the south, but it will still feel chilly. 15 in the south, we‘re still about four or 5 degrees short of the mark for this time of year. understand friday, things will start to become drier and quieter as we pull off into the north sea, but still a keen wind and a lot of cloud

around and some heavier showers breaking out. in northern england, perhaps some of scotland and again, temperatures barely in the double figures across the northern half of the uk. friday into saturday, we start to see things changing. the low continues to move across scandinavia, kansas and rain close to the south and the saturday, and we see a northerly wind after the start of the weekend but this here is what we are watching closely before we get into the weekend because that is high—pressure trying to build. 0n because that is high—pressure trying to build. on saturday with essentially fine weather, there will bea essentially fine weather, there will be a court northerly wind affecting the eastern side of the uk and also plenty of sunshine and temperatures, whilejust very plenty of sunshine and temperatures, while just very slowly showing some signs of recovery, perhaps towards the west on a saturday. but the biggest change will come from sunday onwards. it starts to establish itself for the second part of the weekend and as it does so, we will

move and thatjet stream, and as a go to the north of the jet stream, we start to leap to the south and put in the modern air from the atla ntic put in the modern air from the atlantic and our temperatures will begin to respond accordingly. some of the again to the early part of next week, we be seeing values of average and present will begin to tuesday and wednesday, we need again be talking about warm weather. what‘s that high—pressure belts, it will be fairly keen to establish itself throughout the following week so itself throughout the following week so there will be the return of a lot of dry inside of whether planting the key change will be that things start to feel significantly warmer as we go through the course the next week.
