i'm ros atkins. welcome to outside source. witnesses have told the committee investigating the storming of the capitol how former president trump tried to overturn the results of the election. strong, judicial quality evidence, anything that would say to me, " you have a doubts, deny your oath." i will not give that. it's the fourth hearing into the january 6 uprising at the capitol. we will listen as they play out. the other story playing out this hour is the biggest rail strike in the uk for generation, the action being led

by rmt union. it has meant trains going out of service and millions of passengers going nowhere. my daughter's doing her gcses. i've got to get her to and from school, so it's a right pain in the neck. i understand they want a pay rise and things change, i get that, but it's not fair for all the commuters. we are going to primarily focus on the two stories this hour, the rail strike in the uk and the hearing in washington, which is where we are going to begin. we start in washington, where the committee investigating the storming of the capitol onjanuary 6 is holding another public hearing. today's focus is on pressure by former president donald trump and his team for individual us states to overturn the election results. central to this are two battleground states — arizona and georgia. joe biden won both by a razor—thin margin — and president trump has kept pushing

false claims of electoral fraud. in opening statements, we heard from the republican vice—chair — liz cheney. donald trump did not care about the threats of violence. he did not condemn them, he made no effort to stop them. he went forward with his fake allegations anyway. one more point. i would urge all of those watching today the focus on the evidence the committee will present. don't be distracted by politics. this is serious. we cannot let america become a nation of conspiracy theories and thug violence. and this is another committee member, democratic congressman adam schiff. the president's ly was and is a dangerous— the president's ly was and is a dangerous cancer on the body politic — dangerous cancer on the body politic if _ dangerous cancer on the body politic. if you can convince americans that they cannot trust their own — americans that they cannot trust their own elections, that a time they— their own elections, that a time they lose, — their own elections, that a time they lose, it is somehow illegitimate, then what is left but

violence — illegitimate, then what is left but violence to determine who should govern? _ as we mentioned, arizona is key to today's proceedings. remember, joe biden won that state by 0.4%. and the first witness we've been hearing from today is a top republican there — arizona house speaker rusty bowers. they said, we have heard via an official— they said, we have heard via an official high _ they said, we have heard via an official high up _ they said, we have heard via an official high up in— they said, we have heard via an official high up in the _ they said, we have heard via ani official high up in the republican legislature — official high up in the republican legislature that— official high up in the republican legislature that there _ official high up in the republican legislature that there is - official high up in the republican legislature that there is a - official high up in the republican legislature that there is a legal i legislature that there is a legal theory— legislature that there is a legal theory or— legislature that there is a legal theory or a _ legislature that there is a legal theory or a legal— legislature that there is a legal theory or a legal ability- legislature that there is a legal theory or a legal ability in - legislature that there is a legal. theory or a legal ability in arizona that you — theory or a legal ability in arizona that you can— theory or a legal ability in arizona that you can remove _ theory or a legal ability in arizona that you can remove the - theory or a legal ability in arizona that you can remove the elect- theory or a legal ability in arizonai that you can remove the elect tors of president — that you can remove the elect tors of president biden— that you can remove the elect tors of president biden and _ that you can remove the elect tors of president biden and replace - that you can remove the elect tors i of president biden and replace them, and we _ of president biden and replace them, and we would — of president biden and replace them, and we would like _ of president biden and replace them, and we would like to _ of president biden and replace them, and we would like to have _ of president biden and replace them, and we would like to have a - and we would like to have a legitimate _ and we would like to have a legitimate opportunity- and we would like to have a i legitimate opportunity through and we would like to have a - legitimate opportunity through to the committee _ legitimate opportunity through to the committee to _ legitimate opportunity through to the committee to come _ legitimate opportunity through to the committee to come to - legitimate opportunity through to the committee to come to that i legitimate opportunity through to i the committee to come to that and and remove — the committee to come to that and and remove that, _ the committee to come to that and and remove that, and _ the committee to come to that and and remove that, and i— the committee to come to that and and remove that, and i said, - the committee to come to that and and remove that, and i said, that'sj and remove that, and i said, that's totally— and remove that, and i said, that's totally new— and remove that, and i said, that's totally new to _ and remove that, and i said, that's totally new to me. _ and remove that, and i said, that's totally new to me. i— and remove that, and i said, that's totally new to me. i have - and remove that, and i said, that's totally new to me. i have never- totally new to me. i have never heard _ totally new to me. i have never heard of— totally new to me. i have never heard of any— totally new to me. i have never heard of any such _ totally new to me. i have never heard of any such thing. - heard of any such thing. and depressed _ heard of any such thing. and depressed that— heard of any such thing. and depressed that point, - heard of any such thing. and depressed that point, and ii

we have heard witnesses from arizona, also today from the state of georgia. it was also a close run thing in the 2020 elections. we'll cross live to the hearing as soon as that happens. the person lots are focused on is

brad raffensperger, georgia's top election official. that means he was responsible for managing the election in the state, whichjoe biden won by a thin margin of 0.3. this is going to be an interesting piece of testimony lots of people want to hear from. let's go to capitol hill and our correspondent nomia iqbal. thanks forjoining us. why are we so focused on brad raffensperger in particular? focused on brad raffensperger in articular? , ., ., , focused on brad raffensperger in articular? , ., ., particular? georgia is a sore point for donald trump. _ particular? georgia is a sore point for donald trump. it _ particular? georgia is a sore point for donald trump. it was - particular? georgia is a sore point for donald trump. it was the - particular? georgia is a sore point| for donald trump. it was the state which flipped herjoe biden in 2020, as you mentioned there, nearly winning it by a few points. it is usually a red state. it also elected two democratic senators in 2021 which gave joe two democratic senators in 2021 which gavejoe biden control of the senate. the reason why georgia is going to be so key, and especially when we hear from going to be so key, and especially when we hearfrom brad raffensperger, because if you think back to 2021, there was a very infamous phone call that was

released to the public which show the pressure that donald trump had put on georgia's officials, mr raffensperger, in which he essentially said to him, find me the votes. find the votes to preventjoe biden from winning. we are going to get an insight from mr raffensperger about that pressure, what it looked like, and we are also going to hear from his top deputy, gabriel sterling for some if you think bank again, mr sterling held an angry emotional press conference in which he implored mrtrump emotional press conference in which he implored mr trump to stop saying there was election fraud in georgia, investigations had shown there was none, and he said, quote, it has all gone too far. somet is going to get killed. insight, as we've heard just now for rusty bowers, but also from mr raffensperger and mr sterling, on whatjust that mr raffensperger and mr sterling, on what just that pressure felt like and looked like on that day in the run—up. ijust remember, what the

committee is trying to do is show that donald trump had criminal intent, that donald trump knew that this strategy he was engaging in was illegal, he was warned it could lead to violence, but he still took part in it. ., ., ., ., in it. nomia, for the moment, we will leave — in it. nomia, for the moment, we will leave it _ in it. nomia, for the moment, we will leave it there. _ in it. nomia, for the moment, we will leave it there. thank - in it. nomia, for the moment, we will leave it there. thank you. - in it. nomia, for the moment, we will leave it there. thank you. we are going to be listening to that testimony as it when it happens in washington, dc. this is the feed we have coming in of the arizona official. when we hearfrom have coming in of the arizona official. when we hear from the georgia officials, and nomia was explaining why they are so important, we will listen live here on outside source. an important story in washington, also an important story in the uk, because it is experiencing the biggest rail strike in three decades. it's the first of three strikes. here's why they're happening. the strikes have been called by the rmt trade union — it represents rail workers. and today, around 40,000 rail workers are going on strike.

the rmt is striking over cuts tojobs, working conditions and pay. let's hear the latest from them. i don't think sunday will be the end of it, from what i can see. if we can negotiate a deal this week, it can be, but otherwise we will have to look at what campaigns we're going to put on going forward, and we think that other unions are going to join to this dispute on the railway. the government could have made a move to settle this dispute but instead they are escalating it. the lies that they are telling about railway workers and the railway industry are outrageous. so that's what the union is saying. they blame the government. the government says the rail system needs to be modernised — here's prime minister borisjohnson. we need to get ready to stay the course, to stay the course, because these reforms, these improvements in the way we run our railways, are in the interest of the travelling public. they will help cut costs for farepayers up and down the country. it's worth saying that the government

isn't negotiating directly with the unions. rather, the unions are negotiating with the people who run the train companies. let's hear from one of them. how people travelled - in the 19705, '805, '905, where sunday was never seen as a busy travelling _ day for the public. it's now the opposite, it's one of the busiest days we have. i but we've got working practices that say that staff can just volunteer - to come out on a sunday. that makes it very difficult to run a train service. - whatever the rights and wrongs behind the strike, it has certainly caused disruption. we think only 20% of trains are running today. many areas have no trains at all. this is inside liverpool street station — in london — much quieter than you would expect. there's a tube strike in london. that has made it quieter still. and this was manchester picadilly station earlier today. as you can imagine, it's usually a lot busier than this. and commuters have been reacting to these strikes — this is in hull.

the railway workers, they work hard, they earn their money and they deserve a decent wage. i should have been on a train, but i had to get a national express now, so... i'm on trains every day of the week for myjob, so i don't support it at all, no. lots of people deserve pay rises — the nurses, the teachers. - yes, i think they deserve it, but can we afford - to give everybody a raise? those are some people in hull. next, let's hearfrom bbc correspondents across the country on how the strike is affecting people. london euston is one of the busiest railway stations. today, though, it has been anything but. that said, there has been a steady stream of passengers. right now, i would guess about 200 are on the concourse to try and catch those few trains which are leaving. there are just five routes operating

in the central belt, no trains north to cities including perth, dundee, aberdeen, inverness. scotrail say it's operating just 10% of the normal services today, so down from 2,000 trains on a normal timetable to less than 200 today. of course, scotrail staff are not on strike, but they rely on network rail to operate the signal boxes and maintain the track. not many trains and - not many people on them, i think is a fair assessment - of the welsh rail network today. down to less than 10% of normal services, i a complete wipe—out in north, mid and west wales. - there are some trains running out of cardiff into the valleys' towns, | and that's because they're on track that's owned and managed - by transport for wales. next, let's hearfrom our transport correspondent, katy austin. she's in bournemouth, in southern england. bournemouth is one of the places across the country which has had absolutely no trains today. other areas include much of wales, much of scotland and a lot of other towns and cities around the coast of england, because for the routes

that are running, the priority has been the main routes that are the busiest normally. so, for example, services into london from southampton have been running, trains from manchester have been running to london as well, but where services have gone, they haven't been running for the entire day, so, actually, they only started about 7:30am this morning — much later than normal. and actually, a lot of services have actually wound up for the day. so not only have there been lots of places with no services at all, but where they have been running, they have been far fewer than normal and they've ended a lot earlier than normal as well. so that's what's happening today, tuesday. what about wednesday, when, in theory, the strike's not in place? that's right. so two things to tell you about tomorrow. firstly, it's not a strike day, but that doesn't mean trains get back to normal. the knock on impact of today means that trains will start later again, and over the course of the day, we'll see roughly 60%

of the normal services that would be on offer, so something like a sunday service, really. so that's on the impact, the disruption that passengers would feel. another important thing happening tomorrow morning is we've got new talks that are set to start between rail buses and the rmt union. i'm told that even if a deal was reached tomorrow, which... sense is that the two sides were still quite far my sense is that the two sides were still quite far apart on some issues, so i'm not sure how likely that is, but if a deal was reached tomorrow, it would be too late to prevent disruption on thursday, because the timetable for thursday is already baked into the system, if you like. but a deal tomorrow could prevent disruption happening on saturday. as i say, "if there's an agreement..." it feels like the emphasis is on the if. and in terms of an agreement, understandably, there's a lot of focus on how much of a pay rise these workers should receive, but there's also talk about modernisation. can you help us understand where there are differences between the union and what the employers and what the government want,

in terms of how the railway should change? yeah, the rmt union's argument has been that there's an agenda of cutting jobs and a pay rise that's not high enough, because they want a pay rise that they say reflects the cost of living. the rail industry says, "look, we've got to save money, and, "actually, we need to reform the way things are done — and if we do that, "it means, actually, we'll have more money "for a bigger pay rise." and when i say "reforming the way things are done", that's in several different areas that the industry would argue is making things more up to date, both adapting to what passengers need nowadays and also doing things with more technology in, they would argue, a safer way. examples might be people working on a sunday or a saturday as part of their normal rota, which at the moment they don't — that's overtime. and also, on the maintenance side of things, maybe sending drones to look at the tracks instead

of people in some situations. and network rail, for its part, says that its modernisation plans, it said, would involve about 1,800 fewerjobs but insists that could be done by voluntary redundancy and... ..people leaving because they want to or they've got to that stage in their career. and an update that we heard that happened last night was that network rail has now said, "look, we are going to "launch our consultation anyway on these reforms, "whether or not the rmt likes it." so it has now said it will press ahead with consulting formally on those plans, and it's invited the rmt tojoin those talks at the start ofjuly.

moscow has threatened lithuania with "serious consequences" for stopping some goods entering the russian territory of kaliningrad. lithuania says its implementing eu sanctions — but russia sees it as a blockade. kaliningrad is part of russia, but it's geographically separate — it's an exclave. it borders poland on one side, and lithuania on the other. the head of russia's security council — a close ally of president putin — flew into kaliningrad today — and said this. translation: russia will certainly res - ond translation: russia will certainly resond to translation: russia will certainly respond to such _ translation: russia will certainly respond to such hostile _ translation: russia will certainly respond to such hostile actions. - respond to such hostile actions. appropriate measures are being worked up by departments and will be taken in the nearfuture. their consequences will have a serious negative impact on the population of lithuania. because kaliningrad is separate from the russian mainland, it relies heavily on rail

transit via lithuania and on goods brought in directly — by sea. the port makes kaliningrad strategically valuable to russia, not least for its navy — russia's baltic fleet — is based there. this map is from the nato website. as you can see, many of the countries surrounding kaliningrad — including lithuania — are nato members. and to the north, across the baltic sea — sweden and finland are going tojoin. a lithuanian mep — who's served previously as defence minister — says that's influencing russia's actions. lam sure i am sure that they are scared because — i am sure that they are scared because of swedish and finnish membership in nato, because to them, the importance of kaliningrad region will be _ the importance of kaliningrad region will be much less than in military terms _ will be much less than in military terms thah — will be much less than in military terms than it was before, and they are afraid — terms than it was before, and they are afraid of that, because the baltic— are afraid of that, because the baltic sea will be more or less surrounded by nato countries. and for them, — surrounded by nato countries. and for them, it— surrounded by nato countries. and for them, it will be, of course, difficult~ — the european union have so far

adopted six packages of sanctions against russia. those are in response to its invasion of ukraine. on saturday, lithuania began enforcing those sanctions on kaliningrad. the eu sanctions list includes coal, metals, construction materials and advanced technology. the russian governor of kaliningrad says the blockade would cover 40%—50% of the items his region imports by rail. here's lithuania's prime minister. translation: no blockade of kaliningrad — translation: no blockade of kaliningrad is _ translation: no blockade of kaliningrad is taking _ translation: no blockade of kaliningrad is taking place. - translation: no blockade of kaliningrad is taking place. it | translation: no blockade of| kaliningrad is taking place. it is simply— kaliningrad is taking place. it is simply that— kaliningrad is taking place. it is simply that since _ kaliningrad is taking place. it is simply that since last _ kaliningrad is taking place. it is| simply that since last weekend, sahctiohs — simply that since last weekend, sanctions have _ simply that since last weekend, sanctions have come _ simply that since last weekend, sanctions have come into - simply that since last weekend, sanctions have come into forcel simply that since last weekend, . sanctions have come into force on some _ sanctions have come into force on some of— sanctions have come into force on some of the — sanctions have come into force on some of the goods _ sanctions have come into force on some of the goods included - sanctions have come into force on some of the goods included in - sanctions have come into force onj some of the goods included in the so-called — some of the goods included in the so—called sanctions— some of the goods included in the so—called sanctions package, - some of the goods included in the i so—called sanctions package, namely steel and _ so—called sanctions package, namely steel and ferrous _ so—called sanctions package, namely steel and ferrous medals. _ so—called sanctions package, namely steel and ferrous medals. and - steel and ferrous medals. and accordingly, _ steel and ferrous medals. and accordingly, railway— steel and ferrous medals. and| accordingly, railway customers steel and ferrous medals. and - accordingly, railway customers have been informed — accordingly, railway customers have been informed about _ accordingly, railway customers have been informed about the _ accordingly, railway customers have been informed about the allocationl been informed about the allocation of these _ been informed about the allocation of these sanctions _ been informed about the allocation of these sanctions and _ been informed about the allocation of these sanctions and the - been informed about the allocation of these sanctions and the bees . of these sanctions and the bees because — of these sanctions and the bees because cannot _ of these sanctions and the bees because cannot be _ of these sanctions and the bees because cannot be loaded - of these sanctions and the bees because cannot be loaded and i because cannot be loaded and transported _ because cannot be loaded and transported "— because cannot be loaded and tran5ported-— because cannot be loaded and transported. because cannot be loaded and transorted. . ., , , transported. -- and that these goods cannot be. inside kaliningrad, local officials are arguing for sanctions, to be lifted — saying they hurt both sides.

their desk. the man in the middle in their desk. the man in the middle in the red tie, mr raffensperger, he is georgia's top election official. that is relevant because donald trump spoke to him after the election was complete, encouraging him to alter the result, which projected joe biden as the winner of the state of georgia in the election, encouraging them to find more votes, and he has become a crucialfigure in the more votes, and he has become a crucial figure in the story of how donald trump promoted false claims about how the election was stolen and attempted to insert pressure on and attempted to insert pressure on a range of ways, on people who may or may not have been able to influence that result. georgia is particularly relevant because, like a number of other states, it is a close opting in the us president election. there are some states we always know where it will go — california is always going to go with the democratic candidate — but in the case of arizona and georgia, it was not clear. georgia has a

history of choosing the republican candidate in the presidential election, but in this case, it was very tight. joe biden would turn out the winter, but donald trump and his supporters have long claimed that in this case, something untoward happened, which gavejoe biden a which was not correct. there is no evidence to back that up, but mr raffensperger and other officials we will hear from raffensperger and other officials we will hearfrom her going to be talking about their experience. here comes the panel you can see them all filing in. bear in mind the many of the republicans in the house are not cooperating with this committee, so it is largely made up of democrats or republicans who were critical of donald trump. there are not too many of those, but liz cheney is one of them. she has been a vocal critic of donald trump and in particular what happened around the election results. yeah, she wasjust happened around the election results. yeah, she was just there happened around the election results. yeah, she wasjust there in the blue jacket, results. yeah, she wasjust there in the bluejacket, sitting down, and in a moment, they are going to be

questioning these officials from the state of georgia, who will describe what happened to them in the days that followed the election, as it became clear thatjoe biden was going to win georgia and donald trump was not. we know about the phone call between donald trump and mr raffensperger because the washington post got a copy of it and published it. let's have a listen as matters begin. the published it. let's have a listen as matters begin-— published it. let's have a listen as matters begin. published it. let's have a listen as matters beuin. .., , matters begin. the committee will be in order. matters begin. the committee will be in order- the — matters begin. the committee will be in order. the former— matters begin. the committee will be in order. the former president - matters begin. the committee will be in order. the former president had i in order. the former president had an obsession with georgia. here is the president on the afternoon of january 6, after his own attorney general warned him that the claims you are about to hear were patently false. , , ., ., , false. they should find those votes. they should — false. they should find those votes. they should absolutely _ false. they should find those votes. they should absolutely find - false. they should find those votes. they should absolutely find that. i they should absolutely find that. just over— they should absolutely find that. just over 11,000 votes — that's all we need — just over 11,000 votes — that's all we need. they defrauded us out of a win in— we need. they defrauded us out of a win in georgia. and we are not going to forget— win in georgia. and we are not going to forget it —

break. and throwing observers out at other things where it actually showed was fulton county election workers engaging in normal ballot processing. one of the specific things, one of the things it was very frustrating was the so—called suitcases of ballots from under the table. if you watch the entirety of the video, you saw that these were election workers who were under the impression they were going to get to go home around ten or 1030. people are putting on their coats, they're putting ballot set are prepared to be scanned into ballot carriers that are sealed so you cannot mess with. it's an interesting thing because you watch, four screens of the video as you watch see the election monitors in the corner with the press as they are taking these under the table, you see if they are. warm air of the other hidden ones, if you look at the actual tape was on the outside of the table just from the camera angle he couldn't see it originally and this goes under the

note good deed goes unpunished, we were told that as a secretary pointed out, we were told they look like they were shutting down the fulton county county. the secretary this and pleasure because everybody could get to the results and know what was happening. our elections director call their elections director call their elections director who is at another location because this was election day, there were two different places where ballot things were being done by the fulton county office. he called the elections of fulton who called ralph jones was at the state farm arena and said, what the heck are you doing, go ahead and stay. as you walk the video itself you see him take the phone calls as people are putting things away, getting ready to leave, you could sell for about 15 or 20 seconds he does not want to tell these people they have to say. he walks over, thinks about it, you see them come back to the corner of the desk and slumped shoulders and say, ok we've got to keep on counting. you see them take their coats, get the ballots out.

secondary, you'll see on there you'll see people counting ballots who a batch will go through, they will take them off and run better again. what happens there is a standard operating procedure, if there's a misalignment, if it doesn't rewrite these are high—speed, high—capacity scanners so if three or four will three after amos can you delete that batch and put it back through again. and by going through the hand tally as a secretary pointed out, we showed if there had been multiple ballots scanned without a corresponding physical balance your accounts would've been a lot higher than the ballots themselves with up by doing hand tally we saw two specific numbers that were met. they hand tally that us to a .1035 off of the total votes cast in .0099% on the margin which is essentially dead on accurate. most academic studies say accurate. most academic studies say a hand tally will have between one or 2% because we use marketing devices were very clear but the voter intended made it a lot easier

for us to conduct the hand count and show that none of that was true. i show that none of that was true. i understand that when you review these _ understand that when you review these tapes — understand that when you review these tapes and _ understand that when you review these tapes and did _ understand that when you review these tapes and did the - understand that when you review these tapes and did the analysisi understand that when you reviewl these tapes and did the analysis it 'ust these tapes and did the analysis it just proved — these tapes and did the analysis it just proved this _ these tapes and did the analysis it just proved this conspiracy- these tapes and did the analysis it just proved this conspiracy theoryi just proved this conspiracy theory -- disapproved _ just proved this conspiracy theory —— disapproved. you _ just proved this conspiracy theory —— disapproved. you still- just proved this conspiracy theory —— disapproved. you still had - just proved this conspiracy theory —— disapproved. you still had to. —— disapproved. you still had to take _ —— disapproved. you still had to take a _ —— disapproved. you still had to take a lot — —— disapproved. you still had to take a lot of— —— disapproved. you still had to take a lot of steps _ —— disapproved. you still had to take a lot of steps to _ —— disapproved. you still had to take a lot of steps to make - —— disapproved. you still had toj take a lot of steps to make sure —— disapproved. you still had to- take a lot of steps to make sure the public _ take a lot of steps to make sure the public knew — take a lot of steps to make sure the public knew these _ take a lot of steps to make sure the public knew these allegations - take a lot of steps to make sure the public knew these allegations and l public knew these allegations and you did _ public knew these allegations and you did frequent _ public knew these allegations and you did frequent briefings - public knew these allegations and you did frequent briefings for- public knew these allegations and you did frequent briefings for the| you did frequent briefings for the press _ you did frequent briefings for the press let's— you did frequent briefings for the press. let's take _ you did frequent briefings for the press. let's take a _ you did frequent briefings for the press. let's take a look - you did frequent briefings for the press. let's take a look at - you did frequent briefings for the press. let's take a look at one i press. let's take a look at one of those _ press. let's take a look at one of those present— press. let's take a look at one of those present briefings- press. let's take a look at one of those present briefings that - press. let's take a look at one of those present briefings that youi those present briefings that you held on— those present briefings that you held on december— those present briefings that you held on december seven- those present briefings that you held on december seven to - those present briefings that you. held on december seven to make those present briefings that you - held on december seven to make the point that— held on december seven to make the point that you — held on december seven to make the point that you just _ held on december seven to make the point that you just did _ held on december seven to make the point that you just did today. - held on december seven to make the point that you just did today. i - point that you just did today. move on to what all call this information monday. out of the gate, many of you all saw the video tape from state farm arenas, i spent hours with her certified investigators, spent hours with us going over this video to explain to people that what you saw, the secret suitcases of magic ballots were actually ballots that had been packed into those absentee ballot carriers by the workers in plain

view of the monitors and the press. what's really frustrating is the presidents attorneys had the same video tape, they saw the exact same things the rest of us could say and they chose to mislead senators and the publics that what was on that video. i'm quite sure they will not characterise the video if they try to enter it into evidence because thatis to enter it into evidence because that is a kind of thing that lead to sanctions. it's obviously untrue. they knew it was untrue and they continue to do things like this. mr sterling, despite the efforts by your office _ sterling, despite the efforts by your office to _ sterling, despite the efforts by your office to combat - sterling, despite the efforts by your office to combat this - your office to combat this misinformation, - your office to combat this misinformation, by- your office to combat this i misinformation, by speaking your office to combat this - misinformation, by speaking out publicly— misinformation, by speaking out publiclv in— misinformation, by speaking out publicly in local— misinformation, by speaking out publicly in local media _ misinformation, by speaking out publicly in local media you - misinformation, by speaking out publicly in local media you are l publicly in local media you are unable — publicly in local media you are unable to— publicly in local media you are unable to match _ publicly in local media you are unable to match the _ publicly in local media you are unable to match the reach - publicly in local media you are unable to match the reach of. unable to match the reach of president _ unable to match the reach of president trump's _ unable to match the reach of president trump's platform l unable to match the reach of. president trump's platform and social— president trump's platform and social media _ president trump's platform and social media megaphone - president trump's platform and - social media megaphone spreading measles _ social media megaphone spreading measles conspiracy— social media megaphone spreading measles conspiracy theories. - social media megaphone spreading measles conspiracy theories. what| measles conspiracy theories. what was it— measles conspiracy theories. what was it like — measles conspiracy theories. what was it like to — measles conspiracy theories. what was it like to compete _ measles conspiracy theories. what was it like to compete with - measles conspiracy theories. what was it like to compete with the - was it like to compete with the president— was it like to compete with the president who _ was it like to compete with the president who had _ was it like to compete with the president who had the - was it like to compete with the president who had the biggest| was it like to compete with the - president who had the biggest bully pulpit _ president who had the biggest bully pulpit in _ president who had the biggest bully pulpit in the — president who had the biggest bully pulpit in the world _ president who had the biggest bully pulpit in the world to _ president who had the biggest bully pulpit in the world to push - president who had the biggest bully pulpit in the world to push out - pulpit in the world to push out these — pulpit in the world to push out these false _ pulpit in the world to push out these false claims? _ pulpit in the world to push out these false claims? for- pulpit in the world to push out these false claims?— pulpit in the world to push out these false claims? for lack of a better word. _ these false claims? for lack of a better word, it _ these false claims? for lack of a better word, it was _ these false claims? for lack of a better word, it was frustrating. l these false claims? for lack of a i better word, it was frustrating. but often times i felt our information

listening across is as it continues. for this edition of outside source, we are out of time. thanks for watching. we will see you soon. hello there. the heat is continuing to build just for a few days, before it becomes cooler this weekend. today, it was the turn of england and wales to see temperatures into the mid 205 in the strong sunshine and blue skies. there's been much more cloud, though, across scotland and northern ireland, so temperatures today not quite as high as they were yesterday. that cloud, though, is continuing to thin, so this evening and into the night, we'll have some patchy cloud for scotland and northern ireland. generally across england and wales, any cloud that wehave at the moment will melt away and we'll have clear skies. temperatures typically overnight 11—12. could be a little bit milder than that in northern ireland if it stays cloudy here, but i suspect we'll break through that cloud and give some sunshine through the day on wednesday. and more sunshine to come across scotland,

particularly in the east. the sunnier skies continue to be across england and wales. no wind at all, those temperatures rising rapidly once again, adding a couple of degrees on today's values, so for many, 26—27 degrees. it'll be a warmer day than today in northern ireland and much warmer, i think, for eastern scotland in the sunshine. but when you do have the sunshine we've got high or even very high grass pollen levels once again tomorrow. the heat is building underneath the clearer skies and light winds, under that area of high pressure, but it's getting eroded a bit on thursday, particularly from that weather front in the south. and that will bring with it some showers. it looks like those are moving a little further north more quickly, through the english channel, into southern england, eventually into south wales, the south midlands, maybe even into east anglia before the end of the day. some sunshine ahead of that, but still some cloud for western scotland and northern ireland, so temperatures quite not so high here. otherwise, another very warm day, but because the showers are moving northwards more quickly, the highest temperatures are going to be pushed further north,

through the midlands and northern england. and things continue to break down a bit by the end of the week — pressure falling, some heavy showers around, this band of rain approaching the southwest, with cooler air coming in behind that for the weekend. we do have some heavy and potentially thundery showers still from overnight, moving northwards across northern and western parts of the uk, ahead of that band of rain in the southwest later on. so we've got more cloud around to end the week, so temperatures are going to be a little bit lower. but with more sunshine and dry weather for eastern england, it's still going to be very warm. people, you know, the working women and men of this country who want this resolved, and men of this country who want resolved, and that includes railway workers, and that includes people who need to get to hospital, who need to get to work.

this is bbc news. the headlines at 8: most trains at a standstill, and services that did run ending early in the biggest rail strikes in 30 years — fresh talks to try to resolve the dispute are to take place tomorrow. as travellers switched to buses and bicycles to reach their destinations — the prime minister said change to the rail industry is needed. we need to get ready to stay the course, to stay the course, because these reforms, these improvements in the way we run our railways are in the interest of the travelling public. the government could have made a move to settle this dispute, and instead they're escalating it. the lies that they're telling about railway workers and the railway industry are outrageous.
