hello, i'm ros atkins, this is outside source. the gunman who killed 10 people in germany posted racist conspiracy theories online. now a leading politician says 75 years after hitler, far right terror looms once again over the country. fire right views are accepted, those that i myself would consider as nazi views. we'll have all the latest on the coronavirus, including yet more confusion over how china is counting the number of cases, plus new concern in south korea after a cluster of cases around a church. president trump's long time friend and adviser roger stone been sent to prison for three years and four months. that's a lot shorter than was first proposed by prosecutors.
9:01 pm
mr trump accuses the jury's foreperson of being tainted and claims roger stone has a good chance of exoneration. and michael bloomberg had a night to remember in las vegas. he took a political beating in the latest democratic debate. we'll go live to washington. german prosecutors say the suspect in the shootings near frankfurt that killed 10 people had a "deeply racist mentality." the attack happened in hanau on wednesday evening. the first target was a shisha bar. he then drove to another shisha bar in a neighbouring suburb. police sealed off the area and launched a manhunt. the suspect was eventually
9:02 pm
found dead in his home. his mother was also found dead. here's one eyewitness. i heard the shooting. bang, bang, bang, bang! it was very loud. two seconds later, again. bam, bam, bam, bam, bam! i think, "what's happened here?" i'm shocked, i'm shocked, and everybody ran, on the right, on the left.. i see much panic, panic, panic. turkey says at least five of the dead were turkish citizens, and it's being reported in germany that most of the victims had an immigrant background. earlier we heard from angela merkel. translation: a lot of evidence points towards that the perpetrator acted out of far right and racist motives that stemmed from a hatred towards people with different heritage, different beliefs or a different look to him. racism is a poison, hatred is a poison, and this poison exists
9:03 pm
in our society and is responsible for far too many crimes. local media have identified the suspect. he was 43 and a german citizen. police are investigating documents and videos that he posted online. this is a screenshot from one of them, as well as a letter apparently claiming responsibility for the attack. bbc‘s security correspondetn frank gardiner has more details. he believes in racial superiority, that in turn, nations need to be eliminated, mostly in north africa. he's anti—immigrant, anti—muslim, anti—jewish, various other things. he believes he's a conspiracy theorist, or was, because he's believed to be dead. he thought that the security services were looking into his head and trying to control his thoughts. well, next, this is the reaction of a journalist for a daily kurdish and turkish newspaper in frankfurt
9:04 pm
who came to germany in the 1990s. i feel less secure and i'm really playing with the idea to look for other places to live for my family. it is not the first racist attack in germany. it became more and more normal. and here's some more reaction to the attack. the german mep terry reintke organised a vigil at the european parliament. a number of commentators have highlighted increasing right wing or racist incidents in germany. here's afp journalist yann schreiber in hanau. this comesjust a couple months after a deadly attack on a synagogue south of berlin, and it comesjust
9:05 pm
under a year after the murder of a pro—immigration local politician. all these events have really brought up the question of far right extremism in germany about xenophobic violence and people who are from the far right and able and willing to kill for their cause. so let's look at those previous attacks. in june last year, a pro—immigration politician was shot dead near kassel. the suspect had links to neo—nazi networks. then in october in halle, two people were killed after a synagogue and a kebab shop were targetted. the attacker admitted far right and anti—semitic motives. here's michaela kufner, a correspondent for the german broadcaster, dw. they could have at least been much swifter in taking this case on as a
9:06 pm
they have at least been much swifter in taking this case on as a far right extremist threat and a potential terrorist attack. i'm speaking as someone who covered the nsu terror trials where a right—wing extremist group, for more than a decade, was able to shoot people in the street at point blank range with a migratory background, so at least authority are much more sensitive towards far right extremist motives here in germany. and far right violence is on the rise in germany. this shows a notable uptick in right—wing motivated crimes in 2015. that was the year germany accepted more than one million refugees, many of whom were syrians. also anti—immigrant sentiment has driven a shift in german politics. the right wing nationalist afd party has strident
9:07 pm
anti—immigrant rhetoric. it came third in the last national election. it's the biggest opposition party as the top two are in government together, and that's created immense political pressure. earlier this month, angela merkel‘s cdu party voted in line with afd in a controversial ousting of a regional premier. it caused uproar. days later, chancellor merkel‘s chosen successor annegret kramp—karrenbauer said she'd not longer seek the top job. today she's addressed criticism that far right views have been allowed to gain legitimacy. translation: at the presidency than we have to ta ke very at the presidency than we have to take very seriously as it's currently the situation that in the afd, far right views are accepted, those that i myself would consider
9:08 pm
nazi views. it uses not the ideologies and is racist. as leader of the cdu, i have to be clear that there should and will be no collaboration with the afd. if the red line that has to stand. this leads to people encouraged to injure other people. gavin lee has been in hanau. people are just coming to turn with what happened. i was talking to a local mp for the area who said there have been tensions here. there have been issues with extremism. she said that for people, the small number of people who have seen this place changed demographically, there have been —— these have caused some division. it was only in the last
9:09 pm
few weeks, she said, there had been an extremism hotline that up for people to call in because they were concerned with right—wing views. that gives you a sense of someone underlying issues here and i've spoken to some of those family living in the area and they were taking flowers as tribute to the victims. many said that they are felt there could be an existing threat. roger stone, president trump's long—time friend and ally, has been sentenced to three years and four months in prison. he was found guilty of lying to congress, witness tampering and obstruction during the inquiry into russian interference in the 2016 us election. a huge story anyway, but much more so because that's a much shorter sentence that was initially recommended by prosecutors. here's mr stone arriving at court in washington earlier. he'll have been well aware that the president has been vocal in his condemnation of the conviction. today thejudge said:
9:10 pm
that's thejudge, this is the president after stone was found guilty — with a recommended sentence of 7—9 years. president trump said... to normalise this — but that's is the president of america refusing to acknoweledge a crime established in a court of law as a crime — and asking for action to be taken. and then, in what may have just been a coincidence, attorney general william barr, who is lest we forget a trump appointee, stepped in. the sentencing guideline was going to be revised. all four of prosecutors on the case had heard enough — they quit. and the firewall between justice and politics appeared to be burning down. william barr even acknowledged the situation was difficult. this is from last week.
9:11 pm
to have public statements and tweets made about the department, about our people in the department, our men and women here, about cases pending in the department, and aboutjudges before whom we have cases, they get impossible for me to do myjob and to assure the courts and the prosecutors in the department that we're doing our work with integrity. here what trump said about the sentencing. i'd love to see roger exonerated and i'd love to see it happened because i personally think he was treated very unfairly. what it's pretty remarkable to hear a president talking about a trial involving a close associate and details of the trial, you normally
9:12 pm
don't see the sort of thing from an american president. it seems like donald trump is perfectly willing to let this play out through appeals process. there is talk about him pardoning roger stone as soon as the sentence came down, but he says he's going to be exonerated at some point so going to be exonerated at some point soi going to be exonerated at some point so i think, stone is not going to jail yet. he's going to wait it out and we'll see what happens. it looks like stone will have to report to prison, i think at that point it seems like everything is being moved in line for people to expected donald trump to use that power he has been flexing his muscle with for days. mr stone is not going to prison, but he's on some sort of restricted movement. do we know when the appeal might be? know because we just have the sentence today. i assume his lawyers will move very quickly to file an appeal but that
9:13 pm
has to take its time to work up through the court system. these things in the past, trials like this, they can drag on for months if not even longer. stay with us on outside source, still to come... the man who murdered british backpacker grace millane is being sentenced in auckland. the hollywood actress, damejulie walters, has revealed she's had a treatment for bowel cancer, and has now been given the all clear. she's been speaking to the bbc‘s victoria debyshire and explained what happened when she was given her diagnosis. we found an abnormality and i thought... yeah. it was in my intestine. he said he was worried it was cancer. and then he showed me on the scan. he said, "we can fix this. ,, you
9:14 pm
the scan. he said, "we can fix this. " you hatton had blood or bleeding oi’ " you hatton had blood or bleeding or anything like that so you had some of the symptoms of bowel cancer and not the others, but i suppose what the message is, just go make sure you get checked. my discomfort was really slight. you wouldn't go to a&es. but it shouldn't be there. this is outside source live from the bbc newsroom. our lead story? the gunman who killed 10 people in germany posted racist conspiracy theories online. now a top official says 75 years after hitler, far right terror looms once again over the country. a huge cyber—attack that knocked out more than 2,000 websites in the country of georgia last year was carried out by russia, according to georgia, the uk and the us.
9:15 pm
the uk government says that the gru, which is the russian military intelligence, was behind the "attempt to undermine georgia's sovereignty". russia denies involvement. lesotho's prime minister thomas tha bane is to be charged with the murder of his estranged wife lipolelo tha bane. his current wife has already been charged with the murder. earlier today, he announced that he'd be stepping down because of his age. the american computing giant larry tesler has died at the age of 7a. he was perhaps most famous for the coming up with the cut, copy and paste commands. he did much more besides and is as reponsible as anyone for making computers more user—friendly. the sentencing of the man who murdered the british backpacker grace millane is underway in auckland. ms millane was travelling in new zealand after graduating from university, when she was killed by a man she went on a date with. shaimaa khalil is at the hearing.
9:16 pm
grace's mother made a statement. shaimaa khalil is at the hearing. grace was travelling here when she met the man on tender, the dating app. within hours of theirfirst date, she was killed. the penalty for murder here in new zealand is mandatory life sentence with at least ten years without parole. despite the guilty verdict, despite the imminent sentencing, the man's identity will remain suppressed. this has caused quite a controversy and a big debate online. many asking and a big debate online. many asking and arguing why grace, the victim, has had her identity, her name, her pictures, intimate details about her private life shares across the world while this man's identity is still not revealed. the problem is that
9:17 pm
the reason for the suppression cannot be revealed, which means the media cannot report why he cannot be named. as it stands, we are expecting a sentencing but the name of the identity of that man will remain suppressed until the further court order. judges have begun his sentencing remarks. as soon as we know what the sentence will be at, we will bring that to you. i'm just hearing that the judges set a life sentence must be imposed. a life sentence must be imposed. a life sentence must be imposed. a life sentence must be imposed on the man who murdered grace. we will return to those comments as we go on. air industry body iata says ticket sales could fall 13 per cent in the asia—pacific region this year due to the virus outbreak. that could mean 28 billion dollars of lost revenue. michelle fleury is in new york.
9:18 pm
i wasn't particularly surprised when i heard, is itan i wasn't particularly surprised when i heard, is it an inevitability when you have an outbreak like this? we've been talking about this pretty much daily ever since the outbreak of the coronavirus. the impact on industries and tourism. what you haveis industries and tourism. what you have is an industry body flushing things out so we were talking about apple and their revenue warning now you got this international trade body saying asia— pacific you got this international trade body saying asia—pacific carries in particular will bear the brunt of the impact of the coronavirus, saying they will see 13% falls into man. they're talking about something close to a $30 billion revenue loss for 2020. it's not surprising. look at the announcement in pacific saying how much they reduce capacity. that will mean loss of
9:19 pm
revenue. if this is inevitable, i suppose my next question will be is there anything iata can do about this? it was interesting, someone sent an e—mail listing what they we re sent an e—mail listing what they were doing to try and reassure passengers, talking about things like filters in the cabin, that they we re like filters in the cabin, that they were in first class because they didn't want to risk contamination. they were giving people things and bags, having an ongoing trolley service throughout the flight. everyone is trying to catch up and figure out how to adapt, so you just talked about what the airlines are doing, starbucks for example is moving to contactless delivery and payments to try and keep its business open because china is a crucially important market for it. this is gonna be something we will talk about for a while, when companies start of hoarding their results, it is going to be all about
9:20 pm
the coronavirus. —— start reporting the coronavirus. —— start reporting the results. in some cases, if it's a purchase you can put it off, but when you talk about air travel, that's not necessarily something you can put off and resume at a later date. that's revenue that will be permanently lost. if that's how the coronavirus is affecting the area industry —— air industry, let's talk about fashion. hundreds of designers and buyers have cancelled their visits to europe and america for what would normally be the highlight of the industry's calendar. it's had an impact on all the fashion areas. milan is kicking off and there are thousand chinese executives missing from the shows. that means a thousand hotel rooms are sitting empty, a thousand people not dining in restaurants, a thousand people not being driven
9:21 pm
around and jamming up the city with cars. but it's also a lot of cove rage cars. but it's also a lot of coverage that's not being done and a lot of retail buying. huawei says us efforts to curb its business will only damage the us economy. huawei will meet us government officials for fresh talks on thursday. huawei's chief security officer has exclusively to the bbc‘s if we are forced to buy the components that recently comprise 30% of all huawei products around the world, we are forced to go and not purchase for nearly 300 american companies, so $11 billion a year. if we're forced to not use google for oui’ we're forced to not use google for our operating systems, we're gonna be fine. what is certain is that the 40,000 americanjobs be fine. what is certain is that the 40,000 american jobs that depend on the $11 billion we spend our gonna
9:22 pm
be negatively impacted. if the government keeps going where they are, they're going to hurt america much more than they hurt huawei or china. the uk is still dealing with the aftermath of storm dennis. the environment agency says there remains a "heightened flood risk" across the midlands. six severe flood warnings, which means there is a danger to life, are still in place near the welsh border around the rivers lugg, severn and wye. in the midst of these hard times there are stories of people coming together to help each other. tomos morgan's report begins with a dramatic rescue of a 62—year—old woman stranded in the floods in monmouthshire. this is what's left of of the bridge... 8am, tuesday morning in monmouthshire. geoff handley, out for a stroll after storm dennis' deluge. morning, mr duck. the river wye at record high levels had broken its banks 50 metres or more onto geoff's local country road. in the distance, he spotted something, which the engineer quickly realised was
9:23 pm
a woman in trouble. i called to her. she responded with, "help me, help me!" and ijust said, stay where you are, do not do anything, i need to get help. we need a plan, we need a plan here, boys. by the time my words had finished, he had his coat off, shirt off and he went straight in. fearing for her life, the three men decided they had to take matters into their own hands. they traversed down this steep bank and waded through chest high water, carried her off the top of the car and they're back onto the bank where they waited for the emergency services. clearly, she had been stuck for 12 hours in one position. when mark moved her, she was yelping. poor lady, but strong as an ox, i take my hat off to her. fantastic. as the 62—year—old woman recovers in hospital, the hangoverfrom dennis has also left others suffering across the country. norris george spent the night in looking after his 92—year—old
9:24 pm
mother in worcester. i think she's ok, she prefers to stay where she is. last night was a long night. oh, dear me, watching the pump and making sure it didn't stop and tried not to go to sleep. 300 people were left stranded in gloucester, forced to walk through chest high water to gather supplies. overnight in tantric, the rhondda valley, homes were flooded for a second time this week. residents left furious that not enough had been done to help them. i've never seen nothing like it in my life. it's a disaster zone again, twice in three days. whilst on a visit to pontypridd, where the high street was under water on sunday, labour leader, jeremy corbyn, criticised borisjohnson, labelling the uk government's response as, "wholly inadequate." number ten said they are speaking to emergency services, local authorities and the welsh government, ready to provide assistance when needed. the first minister here has already pledged £10 million to help those

affected across wales. the calm after the storm. river levels beginning to subside, only a few flood warnings remaining in place and the rain finally coming to an end. this clean—up operation, however, it will take far more time. tomas morgan, bbc news, monmouth. the sentencing is under way of the man who killed the british backpacker who dried after he went she went on a date —— who died after she went on a date —— who died after she went on a date —— who died after she went on a date. what we're looking out for is guidelines on what the minimum term must be served will be. we are listening across the state m e nts will be. we are listening across the statements around the sentencing and we will bring more details as they
9:26 pm
—— we already knowjudges are saying a life sentence must be handed. i'll keep you up—to—date. hello there. our forecast doesn't really bring any let up from the u nsettled really bring any let up from the unsettled weather we've been enduring. we've recently had a lot of rain over the last couple days. the radar pictures and show some really intense burst across hills in the west part of country of. it was accompanied by some really gusty winds with wintry showers. and this u nfettered winds with wintry showers. and this unfettered pattern does not relent as we go into friday. here's another weather system but this is targeting the northern half of the uk. especially over high ground, expect a lot of rain again on friday. not
9:27 pm
as much further south across wales but some very brisk winds up into southeast scotland. gusts up to 50-60 southeast scotland. gusts up to 50—60 mph which could cause some localised destruction. it will be a mild day with highs between eight and 12 degrees. as we go through friday night, notice the rain piling in. the heaviest births always across the hills in the west. as this front the slightest way southwards, it's likely to drag its heels across south wales. this may not necessarily heavy but it could hang around for a time on saturday. further north, we see spells of sunshine but some wintry showers in scotla nd sunshine but some wintry showers in scotland which could give quite and a cumulation of snow. rather chilly in the north, rather mild in the south. through saturday night, it looks like will see another pulse of rain running in. a bit of uncertainty of how far north or south this will be, but we could see more rain for the parts of wales and the met dome at west midlands before
9:28 pm
things dry out during sunday. failed a mile down to the south, further north those temperatures a little lower. as we get into the start of the new working week, here comes yet another area of low pressure. this could be a really deep low. it could pass just to the northwest of scotla nd pass just to the northwest of scotland with the potential for gales or severe gales and yet more outbreaks of rain moving southeast. something brighter. some showers following an something cooler as well, particularly ahead. monday is going to be rather mild but as that band of rain, that weather front slides and words back into some cold air. loaf pressure still to the north. lots of showers flown in from the atlantic, likely to be heavy and laundry. cold enough to be wintry over high of ground in the north. single digits for most, highs between 6—10d. as we head towards the middle part of next week, the
9:29 pm
jet stream is still a big player. the atmosphere still —— it will be cold enough for some of the showers to fall as snow. to move into the middle parts of the week, likely to spot another deep area of low pressure so spot another deep area of low pressure so that could bring another bout of windy weather. certainly the potential for more wet weather, but through the end of the week, looks like the jet stream will sink southwards again, plunging us back into chilly air. nothing desperately unusualfor into chilly air. nothing desperately unusual for this into chilly air. nothing desperately unusualfor this time into chilly air. nothing desperately unusual for this time of year but is going to deal rather cool. he will often be windy, more rain and more hail, snow in the forecast. still plenty of flood warnings in force. check those on the bbc weather website.
9:30 pm
hello, i'm ros atkins, this is outside source. our lead story is in germany. the gunman who killed 10 people in germany posted racist conspiracy theories online. a leader of the cdu party, angle miracle's party, is saying... now a leading politician says 75 years after hitler, far right terror looms once again over the country. the far right views are excepted, the years that i myself would say are not the views. —— i would say are not the views. —— i would say are nazi views. we'll have all the latest
9:31 pm
on the coronavirus — including yet more confusion over how china is counting the number of cases — plus new concern in south korea afer a cluster of cases around a church. president trump's long time friend and advisor roger stone been sent to prison for three years and four months. that's a lot shorter than was first proposed by prosecutors. mr trump accuses the jury's foreperson of being tainted and claims roger stone has a good chance of exoneration. and michael bloomberg had a night to remember in las vegas — he took a political beating in the latest democratic debate. we'll go live to washington. latest on the coronavirus... i'll start as i often do with statistics. in china, there are more than 74,000 confirmed cases, and over 2100 deaths. but it's more complicated than that. first, those who die at home aren't being counted. and then there's this. @stephenmcdonell: "would you believe that #hubei has gone back to the old way of counting."
9:32 pm
but he is talking about... last week it changed how it diagnosed the virus — that caused numbers to jump — now that move has been reversed. @stephenmcdonell notes: "this is problematic because the most useful aspect of the official #numbers has been watching the trend." quite so. so this means both the the overall totals and the way we plot the spread of the virus are flawed. apart from that, the monitoring's going really well. well, let's see if the world health organisation can help. the data from china continues to show a decline in new confirmed cases. once again we are encouraged by this trend but this is no time for complacency. let's focus on south korea next. it's confirmed its first death from the virus. and there's been a sharp rise in the number of cases. that's connected to daegu. it's a city of 2.5 million. and this building there has been disinfected.
9:33 pm
that's because a large number of cases have been traced to religious group called shincheonji church of jesus. some call it a church, others call it a cult. either way, a woman who reportedly twice refused to be tested for the virus is reportedly the centre of this cluster of cases. she'd refused as she'd not been to china recently — but there have been numerous cases human—to—human transmission outside china. and it seems she's at the centre of another one. here's hyung eun kim from bbc korean in seoul. this is a very alarming day for south korea. we have more than 15 new cases today and this pushes up the total number of infections in the country to 104. so basically we have got half of the total 104 cases in just one day. and it like it has been reported, this has to do with a woman of a religious sect. the religious group is called shincheonji and we learned a couple
9:34 pm
days ago she attended religious services where more than 1000 people were there with her. we know the government has tracked down 1000 believers of shincheonji and 1000 people are being capped and what is called self quarantine. they are staying at home and reporting their symptoms to the authorities. but what is alarming as this number of people are concentrated in one specific area. it is korea's fourth largest city and people are concerned if this city is medically equipped enough to handle the soaring number of infections. moving from south korea to japan... the latest on the diamond princess. as i'm sure you know, this cruise ship has been quarantined in yokohama for over two weeks. over half the cases of this virus outside china are onboard.
9:35 pm
634 of them. among them were two elderly japanese people who've now died. all of which means japan is being widely criticised how it's handled this. prime minister shinzo abe has said: "i offer my sincere sympathies. we will put all efforts into preventing serious cases among those infected. the government has the important responsibility of protecting the health and lives of its citizens. we will fulfil that responsibility." all which has been widely discussed on social media. one user on yahoo japan highlights the issue: "keeping them in the ship = inhumane. letting them off from the ship = irresponsible." the bbc‘s laura bicker is in yokohama. for the hundreds of passengers left on this ship including 70 brits who have all tested negative for coronavirus, this is the last night they have to spend in their cabins. but their ordeal is not over, once they get home they face another 14 days of quarantine.
9:36 pm
back to china — because people's movements are being severely restricted in an attempt to slow the spread of virus. the lockdown is strictest in hubei province — where the outbreak started — but impacting businesses across the country. here's stephen mcdonell. beijing's underground train network is eerily quiet. on a normal day, there are 10 million trips on this system. during the coronavirus emergency, you can sit wherever you like. the lunar new year break was extended. many companies are either closed or letting staff work from home. human contact is seen as dangerous. anyone who has been to beijing and has had a look around this area of the city would not recognise this intersection. i meet a cleaner heading back to work to make his dinner and ask if he is worried that, by putting items in bags,
9:37 pm
he has risked contracting the virus. translation: i am worried but i wash my hands frequently. when i get back, i wash them really thoroughly. translation: nothing to worry about in the open, just keep your distance from people. i ask this office worker how many of his colleagues have returned to work. translation: people whose hometowns are outside beijing have not come back yet. but the locals have started to. this is what's keeping china going at the moment, these delivery guys, because even though the coronavirus fears are everywhere, they're keeping everybody fed, they're still delivering stuff to people's houses. right now only residents are allowed into housing estates. so you have got to show your id here? i ask how this guy is feeling. translation: actually, a bit nervous. the illness is really serious.
9:38 pm
you can imagine that the close confines of a bus is the type of place people would be worried, in terms of coming into contact with someone who has the coronavirus. hands on surfaces and the like, so everybody coming on as their temperature checked. and most people we talk to, they don't seem to mind this. they know that it is part of trying to control this emergency and they are cutting the government quite a bit of slack. life could be like this here for months. stephen mcdonell, bbc news, beijing. restricting movement is one of a range of measures taken by china. but it has come in for criticism for how it respnded to this crisis — especially in the first few weeks at the end of last year. here's the world health organisation on that. there led international team of experts is now on the ground in china, working with the chinese
9:39 pm
cou nterpa rts china, working with the chinese counterparts to find answers to some of the things we do not know including the transmissibility of the virus and the impact of the measures that china has taken. remember this story from the wall streetjournal — china labelled it racist — and effectively expelled three journalists from the journal — despite the fact they didn't write the article. well afp journalist laurent thomet has this update. @lthometafp "i asked china's foreign ministry to explain why they were expelled, and what laws justify the action. here's the answer." it says "those media who blatantly insult china, pitch racial discrimination and maliciously smear china must pay their price. we are not interested in the division of work within the wsj... it must be responsible for what it has said and done." but there's likely something else at play here. @stephenmcdonell points out: "this happened the day
9:40 pm
after the #us re—classified 5 chinese party media organisations." he is making the point quite rightly that there may be a connection between these things because the chinese are certain to be upset that these further restrictions are placed on their media outlets by america. our final stop on this story is a village in central ukraine. here we have hundreds of protesters blocking roads to a military medical centre. they're trying to stop a big group of coronavirus evacuees from wuhan being quarantined there. hundreds of riot police were deployed to try and ensure they got through. you can see some of them coming off the plane. 45 of them are from ukraine, 27 are foreign nationals. ukraine says they've all been screened twice and all tested negative. and president zelensky is urging
9:41 pm
people to show some humanity. welljonah fisher is in the village. so this is the standoff. there are several hundred villagers on this side blocking the road and several hundred riot police on the side. and what the villagers have been saying is they are not happy that these five bus—loads of people who have been evacuated from china and flew overnight from blue hand last night, they are not happy that they are being brought here to a government facility to serve their quarantine. they did not believe the government's reassurances that these people have been tested twice and that they did not have anyone who has tested positive for the coronavirus on board. they simply did not accept that and did not see and they have been saying they do not see why these people could not have been brought elsewhere. so, at the moment we have a standoff and i think windows those
9:42 pm
buses eventually do make it here, the police will force the way through for them but clearly a lot of skepticism here and a lot of concern for the local people. they do not want these evacuees brought here. and jonah was there when the buses arrived. you can see on board, these are some of the where people who have spent the last 24 hours being brought out of china here to the ukraine and as you can see here, for the very strong security presence alongside the hundreds of riot police you have to be deployed to this village in central ukraine because there has been such an angry response from the villagers here. they blockaded the road from most of the day and they simply have not accepted what the ukrainian authorities have been
9:43 pm
saying, namely that all the people on that plane from china had been tested several times for the coronavirus and that none of them have been found to be affected. people here simply do not trust what they have been told by the government. they can keep on saying why does it have to be here? and many of them are very worried that this will lead to infections spreading here. these people who are on these buses are a necks of ukrainians and other nationalities and will spend the next 14 days in this government medical facility while they serve their quarantine. if you want more information on the coronavirus, you can visit the bbc website. in a few minutes we will be life in washington to talk about how mike bloomberg fared when he took the stage with his democratic
9:44 pm
rivals. and short not very well but we will be back with a little more on that. a man has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder after a stabbing at london central mosque in regents park this afternoon. an elderly man in his seventies, has been taken to hospital and his injuries are not thought to be life threatening. scotland yard says it is not treating the incident as terror related. dan johnson reports. these are the moments that followed a stabbing during afternoon prayers. the man in red was held by police after he allegedly pulled a kitchen knife and used it to attack the man who leads the call to prayer here. he was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder. yes. we were praying. and then he took the knife and kicked him in the shoulder. and then we heard screaming. this is not being treated as a terrorist incident but understandably there is deep concern.
9:45 pm
this individual has been visiting them mosque over the last six months. they had no intel to my understanding to indicate that he was a threat. this does not sound like a random attacker, it does not sound like someone who has come in off the street and unless it is someone who is known to worshipers. and some people thought he was a bit vulnerable as well in the past. he had issues. this is london's central mosque, a major building close to regents park. the victim is in his 70s, a well—known and respected figure which has been an important presence here for many years. worshippers gave first aid and the emergency response was quick. he was stabbed in the neck. it would have been life—threatening if it was not for the worshipers who stopped the guy and apprehend him. i actually called the ambulance and it came within a matter of minutes and the police were here straight on within a few minutes. the police are here in large numbers trying to reassure a community and shock and to work out what prompted an attack that saw violence and injury interrupt a peaceful act of prayer.
9:46 pm
this is outside source live from the bbc newsroom. our lead story is... the gunman who killed 10 people in germany posted racist conspiracy theories online. now a top official says 75 years after hitler, far right terror looms once again over the country. here are some of the main stories from bbc world service... a huge cyber—attack that knocked out more than 2,000 websites in the country of georgia last year was carried out by russia, according to georgia, the uk and the us. the uk government says that the gru, which is the russian
9:47 pm
military intelligence, was behind the "attempt to undermine georgia's sovereignty". russia denies involvement. lesotho's prime minister thomas thabane is to be charged with the murder of his estranged wife lipolelo tha bane. his current wife has already been charged with the murder. earlier today, he announced that he'd be stepping down because of his age. the american computing giant larry tesler has died at the age of 74. he was perhaps most famous for the coming up with the cut, copy and paste commands. he did much more besides and is as reponsible as anyone for making computers more user—friendly. well as mike tyson once famously said: everyone has a plan until the they get punched in the mouth. and mike bloomberg found out last night this is as true of politics as it is of boxing. it was the first time he'd shared a stage with his rivals — and they made the most of it. i would like to talk about who we are running against, a billionaire who calls when fat brides and where space lesbians. and i am not talking about donald trump, and talking about donald trump, and talking about mayor bloomberg. we need
9:48 pm
something different from donald trump, you do not look at him and say we need someone richer and the white house. maybe your workers played some more you making money as well. mike bloomberg is worth an estimated 62 billion dollars. forbes magazine ranks him as the nineth richest person in the world. and his rivals say is simply trying to buy his way to the presidency. here's mr bloomberg reponse. iama i am a philanthropist who did not inherit his money but made his money andi inherit his money but made his money and i am spending that money to get rid of donald trump, the worst president we have ever had. if i can get that done, it will be a great contribution to america and to my kids. hard to find anyone who said anything quite positive. here's an opinion piece in the new york times "despite his billions, bloomberg busts. his rivals were ready. he was not." the los angeles times calls it a rocky debate debut" swipe and i think we could argue is a little generous.
9:49 pm
and here's the front page of the new york post: "warren leads brutal mike beatdown". and elizabeth warren's attacks on mr bloomberg have gone viral. #warrenforthewin started trending as the debate finished. and it was timely for senator warren — she underperformed in the first two votes in iowa and new hampshire. this was her pushing back on that. arguably her strongest attack line was over non—disclosure agreements mr bloomberg's company agreed with female employees who accuse him of sexual harassment. this is some of it. mr mayor, are you willing to release all of those women from those nondisclosure agreements that we can hear their side of the story? and this was mike bloomberg's response. we have a very few nondisclosure agreements. how many is that? how -- let me finish. some of them are like
9:50 pm
if they did not like the joke i told. @mikebloomberg tweeted shortly after the debate: "they went on and on about what they could and should do. i have built. i have created actual change. i have gotten it done. that's what i'll do for america." well, while the debate was taking place in nevada, president trump was holding a rally in phoenix, arizona. he too took aim. and now they have a new member of the group, many mike. no boxers, we, no boxers. and i hear he is getting pounded tonight. i hear they are pounding him. julian manchester is joining us live from washington, dc. good to have the on the programme, we will look to head to this 24 hours ago so if you make of it? i was shocked at hand tonight how unprepared he was.
9:51 pm
looking at the headlines and scrutiny he was under over the past week and some of the telegraphing of the attacks from other candidates namely, by then, warren and sanders, he should have known it was coming. his responses did not go over well. he seemed unprepared and agitated at times and it did not go well with the audience. meanwhile bernie sanders and elizabeth warren having rock star nights there. elizabeth warren as someone who had less than stellar performance in iowa and new hampshire really hitting it out of the ballpark in this debate. her campaign just the ballpark in this debate. her campaignjusta the ballpark in this debate. her campaign just a announce she rose five thousand dollars since the debate. and bernie sanders performing very well. contrasted with bloomberg he seemed to fall flat during the debate. did not go anywhere yet. not all the attacks we re anywhere yet. not all the attacks were going at bloomberg. bernie sanders is the current front
9:52 pm
runner for the democratic nomination — and they came for him too. yes campaign relentlessly attacking everyone who asked a question or try to fill in details about how to actually make this work. we should not have to choose between one candidate who wants to bring this party down and another candidate who wants to buy this party out. the best socialist and the country as a billionaire with three houses what didi billionaire with three houses what did i miss your? you work and washington and like thousands of others, i have some accounts and forgive me for that. very well-known political commentary dammit commentator asking about bloomberg and why do we not ask about is warren. why do we this and successes of male candidates. why is she not making more progress in the polls given the performances in the
9:53 pm
debates? it leads you to question how much the debates actually matter. and new hampshire a prime example. i would say that the debates helped her in new hampshire and that state in particular because she is a good debater butjust has not been able to climb in the polls so not been able to climb in the polls so they kind of give you a burst of energy but then i did not know if it is necessary to take you farther but she is being drowned out by bernie sanders. he performed well in iowa and new hampshire and elizabeth warren and massachusetts did not perform well in new hampshire, and we know primary voters like to nominate new england candidates so thatis nominate new england candidates so that is one strike against her. i would say overall bernie sanders is showing at the progressive support and you see a number of moderates and you see a number of moderates and both of their campaigns releasing members over the past couple of days raising the alarm, ringing the alarm bells over whether
9:54 pm
bloomberg or sanders will drop out, saying he is on the path to unmasking the most delegates and she has to compete with someone like sanders who has more support than she does. briefly if you wed, we came this far and have not talked aboutjoe came this far and have not talked about joe buying came this far and have not talked aboutjoe buying then it was the front runnerfor aboutjoe buying then it was the front runner for months. that tells you something. jill biden made a comeback and south carolina and the campaign set low expectations for him in iowa and new hampshire but this is the demographic he should be playing well with, latino or african—american voters and immigrants, much more diverse voting base but on the main stage he does not perform as well as he does and one settings are more intimate settings. it tells you something that we are not talking about the former vice president of the united states it came from a very popular democratic administration. thank
9:55 pm
you. let's return to auckland in new zealand. we have a developing situation with the man who murdered the british back packer. he is convinced to life with a minimum of i7 convinced to life with a minimum of 17 years before parole. we have details of the minimum turn in my time that must be served. 17 years and present and that is the point at which parole may be considered so he may serve time beyond that. thank you for watching outside source this week. we will be back with more stories from around the world. goodbye. outside source. hello there are long range forecast does not bring any light up from the u nsettled does not bring any light up from the unsettled weather we have been enduring and recently we had a lot of rain over the last couple of
9:56 pm
days, wednesday into thursday and it showed really intense bursts and some places had over 100 mm in last 24 hours. accompanied by gusty winds and wintry showers behind. unsettled pattern does not relent as a going to friday. another weather system mainly targeting the northern half of the uk. northern ireland and parts of western and southern scotland, northwest england and especially of her high ground and expect a lot of rain again and some very brisk winds particularly to the eastern side of the canines and southeast scotland with guests of maybe 50 or 60 mph. it could cause localised disruption. a mild day with highs between eight and 12 degrees. friday night notice the way the rain still piles and. have your bursts across the hills in the west and the front slides its way southwards into saturday and it will ta ke southwards into saturday and it will take its rain with it. it will drag
9:57 pm
its heels. not necessarily desperately heavy but hang around for a time on saturday. for there not some smells of sunshine and showers, wintry showers and scotland which could get an accumulation of snow and rather chilly in the north and mild in the south. three saturday night it looks like we will see another pulse of rain running and an of uncertainty about how far north or south this could be but more rain for a flight affected parts of wells and west midlands before things dry out on sunday with some smells of sunshine and the odd shower. mild down to the south and the further north you look at temperatures are a little bit lower. sta rt temperatures are a little bit lower. start of the new working week here comes another area of low pressure and this could be a really deep low, expected to pass through the northwest of scotland with the potential for gales or severe gales and yet more outbreaks of rain moving southeast quite radically across the uk. something brighter
9:58 pm
with showers going on behind and cooler eventually as well. particularly ahead of this band of rain. monday is going to be rather mild. this weather front slides its way eastwards and get back into cooler air again way eastwards and get back into coolerairagain and way eastwards and get back into cooler air again and lots of showers being flung in from the atlantic and some of these are likely to be heavy and then very. cold enough for the showers to be wintry over the high ground. single digits for most high is between six and 10 degrees. as we head towards the middle part of next week, thejet head towards the middle part of next week, the jet stream as a big head towards the middle part of next week, thejet stream as a big player and went high up in the atmosphere and went high up in the atmosphere and steering unsettled weather to our direction. north of the direction to slipstream we are part of it so it will not fall a snow. another deep area of low pressure andi another deep area of low pressure and i could bring another bout of windy weather and certainly with the potential for some wet weather but through the end of the week it looks like the jet stream will seem to
