on so many innocent people. hello. welcome to what is the last edition of outside source. but it's no different to all the ones that have gone before. we're going to have a detailed rundown of some of the biggest stories of the day. and we'll start in russia, because a court in moscow has ordered that a us journalist is kept in custody over spying charges. americanjournalist is american journalist is kept in custody over spying charges. american journalist is kept in custody over spying charges. the journalist in question is evan gershkovich. he works for the wall streetjournal. russia's security service —the fsb — it says the journalist was "acting on us instructions. and that he had "collected information constituting a state secret about the activities of a russian defence enterprise."

the wall streetjournal denies he has done anything wrong. we've heard from the kremlin too. translation: this is - the prerogative of the fsb. you already had a statement about this from the federal security service. we have nothing to add. the only thing i can add is, as far as we know he was caught red—handed. russia's foreign ministry spokeswoman says mr gershkovich was arrested for activities not related to journalism. translation: under the cover of journalist activity, repressed visa | and accreditation, this purging, judging by the actions undertaken by him and in relation to him has been involved in a completely different type of activity. i am now reading a lot of reports saying he had accreditation from the foreign ministry. therefore he is a journalist. no, no, no. this is what he claimed to be but what he has been doing,

i am speaking about this case only for now, was notjournalism. the wall streetjournal has also responded. it says it... �*vehemently denies the allegations from the fsb — that's russia's security service — and goes on to say they seek �*the immediate release of our trusted and dedicated reporter, evan gershkovich. we stand in solidarity with evan and his family.�* evan gershkovich�*s lawyer says he will be held until at least the end of may — and added this outside the court. translation: was not allowed into the court although should have been. contacted the offices of criminal cases and they told me they did not have this case.

now this story stretches across russia. the hearing today was in moscow. but we need to i,800km to the east to see where evan gershkovich was arrested. the fsb has confirmed that mr gershkovich had accreditation to be there. and we know that earlier this week his latest article looked at the russian economy. and the challenges of, in his words, "ballooning military expenditures". we know what the main charge is, and that's espionage. a criminal case has been opened against evan under article 276 of the russian criminal code, espionage. the maximum possible punishment is 20 years in prison. we know evan gershkovich, he is well known to foreign journalists here, and an experienced reporter on russia and an excellent reporter, a highly principled journalist. he was detained about 1,000 miles from the russian capital.

in unlawful activities and they accused him of gathering classified information about a defence plant and said he was under suspicion of espionage in the interests of the us government. let's hear from the committee to promote press journalists. let's hear from the committee to promote pressjournalists. we let's hear from the committee to promote press journalists. promote press “ournalists. we call on the promote press journalists. we call on the authorities _ promote press journalists. we call on the authorities to _ promote press journalists. we call on the authorities to immediately | on the authorities to immediately and unconditionally release him, because from the conversations we had with a friend of avalon, with people who have known him from a younger age, we know that he is a very good journalist who has been doing nothing but reporting from inside russia. we can speak to our north america correspondent anthony zurcher. anthony, tell us about the advice coming from the white house, especially people who are in russia

or travelling to russia? the especially people who are in russia or travelling to russia?— or travelling to russia? the advice is don't travel _ or travelling to russia? the advice is don't travel to _ or travelling to russia? the advice is don't travel to russia, _ or travelling to russia? the advice is don't travel to russia, and - or travelling to russia? the advice is don't travel to russia, and if - is don't travel to russia, and if you are in russia get out as soon as possible. this is a new advice. this is advice that the united states has been giving since last year. but they are renewing their urgent call, saying that american citizens in russia could face detention and imprisonment if they stay there and the advice is it may not be easy to get out, flights are somewhat irregular coming out of moscow, but to get out as soon as possible. otherwise, face adverse consequences.— otherwise, face adverse conseuuences. ,, . , consequences. more specifically in this case of— consequences. more specifically in this case of this _ consequences. more specifically in this case of this journalist - consequences. more specifically in this case of this journalist was - this case of this journalist was currently in custody, what is the biden administration sang about that? �* ., , ., ., that? the biden administration has first of all condemned _ that? the biden administration has first of all condemned to _ that? the biden administration has first of all condemned to the - first of all condemned to the detention and said that this is yet another example of moscow's cracking down on journalists and the free press in general and freedom of expression in general. but his has said that it has reached out to their wall streetjournal and spoken their wall street journal and spoken to the their wall streetjournal and spoken

to the wall streetjournal editors, executives. it also reached out to the family, the detainee, and is trying to have official communication with moscow, but they have not revealed any evidence of that communication or any result of it so far. fin that communication or any result of it so far. ., ,., ~ ., , it so far. on that point anthony, presumably _ it so far. on that point anthony, presumably because _ it so far. on that point anthony, presumably because of- it so far. on that point anthony, presumably because of the - it so far. on that point anthony, presumably because of the warl it so far. on that point anthony, l presumably because of the war in ukraine, the diplomatic channels between russia and america are strange, to put it mildly. extremely stranue. strange, to put it mildly. extremely strange- so — strange, to put it mildly. extremely strange. so this _ strange, to put it mildly. extremely strange. so this isjust _ strange, to put it mildly. extremely strange. so this is just yet - strange, to put it mildly. extremely strange. so this isjust yet anotherl strange. so this is just yet another instance of relations degrading. if you remember an american basketball star, britney greiner, was detained for months last year. she finally was released and a swap with an arms dealer who was held and sentenced to prison here in the united states. there is another american, paul whelen, who has been held there and was convicted and sentenced to prison for what russia said was espionage. the united states is trying to get him out as well. so this is a sign that the depths of

relations not seen since the cold war, which also was the last time an americanjournalist in war, which also was the last time an american journalist in moscow and russia was accused of espionage, backin russia was accused of espionage, back in 1986 with the us news & world report reporter. anthony, thank yom _ world report reporter. anthony, thank you. that's _ world report reporter. anthony, thank you. that's anthony - world report reporter. anthony, thank you. that's anthony live i world report reporter. anthony, i thank you. that's anthony live with us from washington. also with me is edward lucas, times columnist and author of "the new cold war: putin's russia and the threat to the west." what was your reaction when he heard this? it what was your reaction when he heard this? . ~ , . ~ ., this? it takes me back to when nicholas cannot _ this? it takes me back to when nicholas cannot force the - this? it takes me back to when nicholas cannot force the us l this? it takes me back to when - nicholas cannot force the us news & world report guy in moscow and he was arrested on a bogus espionage charge. and every westerner dealing with the soviet union, who travelled in the soviet thought we could be next. that was the beginning of the

barbershop error and things got considerably be better in the years after but we have now passed a sinister point going on the other direction and we are back in the error where any westerner in russia is a potential hostage for the regime. a bit like in iran. and i think it's high time for western journalist to get out of russia. it's not actually not difficult. you can take a flight to istanbul or to the united arab remarks or something like that. but i think you are vulnerable to being seized by the regime if you want to put pressure on the west for any reason. saying western journalist _ on the west for any reason. saying western journalist have _ on the west for any reason. saying western journalist have reached i on the west for any reason. saying | western journalist have reached the point where they need to leave. in the case of this particular journalist in custody, one of the options available to him? i think that the likelihood _ options available to him? i think that the likelihood is _ options available to him? i think that the likelihood is that - options available to him? i think that the likelihood is that he - options available to him? i think that the likelihood is that he will be convicted. and once he is convicted he becomes a chip on the board for the next swap. and the americans have actuallyjust arrested someone in washington, dc.

i am not sure what his exact statuses, but he is accused of a number of crimes the united states and i think he hasn't made a public statement, but if he is convicted the russians may well say you give him back and will give you your guy back. that's the way it works. now of course from a western point of view that's not terribly satisfactory because we are convicting people for real espionage or money laundering or whatever it is. in this man's case it was arms trading. and we are handing over random westerners to be bargaining chips. but that's unfortunately reflects the way in which roscoe has one escalation ladder and we have another. and there are many gaps. edward, stay with us here on outside source. ijust want edward, stay with us here on outside source. i just want to play some of the bbc interview with nobel peace prize winner who is accusing russian tv channels of now promoting the threat or even the possibility of nuclear war. threat or even the possibility of nuclearwar. here threat or even the possibility of nuclear war. here are some of the

got very few options in practical terms where his nuclear weapons. and anything he did would be disastrous for him. not least because the chinese have said very clearly against the use of nuclear weapons. so i think it is interesting to hear the great man's views on theirs. i think that russia has got most of the juice out of the lemon. on the nuclear front the juice out of the lemon. on the nuclearfront so far. the juice out of the lemon. on the nuclear front so far.— nuclear front so far. finally edward, — nuclear front so far. finally edward, let _ nuclear front so far. finally edward, let me _ nuclear front so far. finally edward, let me ask- nuclear front so far. finally edward, let me ask you - nuclear front so far. finally - edward, let me ask you about, i was going to say the western strategy but perhaps the us strategy in regard to the war. we are seeing more and more discussions in washington around what president bidens sandpoint is in terms of how long will he sustain the current levels of support for ukraine. he says he will keep doing it as long as is necessary. do you think that that will become politically more difficult for him?— that will become politically more difficult for him? well, about the programme is — difficult for him? well, about the programme is going _ difficult for him? well, about the programme is going to _ difficult for him? well, about the programme is going to be - difficult for him? well, about the | programme is going to be around difficult for him? well, about the i programme is going to be around in the coming weeks and months to look at this. i think at the moment the support in the united states on

ukraine is still pretty strong. i think it's ukraine is still pretty strong. i think its reasonable, actually, for republicans who are the opposition party to oppose and they should be holding the biden administration to account for its many bad decisions over the past weeks and months. and it's quite right for them to ask for an accounting of how us taxpayers money is being spent in the ukraine. actually, the answer is pretty well. it's also reasonable for them to criticise hunter barton, whose connection with ukraine, and there is a democratic response which takes any criticism of anything they do as tantamount to treason, and that's not fair. i suspect that whoever comes in as a republican, if it is a republican president, will end up keeping a fairly similar line to wealthy up biden ministration is done and it's worth remembering the trump administration for all its extraordinary rhetoric of the president himself actually played a pretty hard game with russia. there were american troops at the end in the europe and the were in the

beginning. it was the obama and ministration that was reallyjust rasters in the treatment of russia. the key thing is always to look at congress because congress are such an important role in the money of this and so the congressional replicants have stayed solid on ukraine. i worry were heading for catastrophe. ukraine. i worry were heading for catastrophe-_ ukraine. i worry were heading for catastrophe-— catastrophe. thank you for being with us. there's _ catastrophe. thank you for being with us. there's a _ catastrophe. thank you for being with us. there's a few _ catastrophe. thank you for being with us. there's a few twists - catastrophe. thank you for being with us. there's a few twists and j with us. there's a few twists and turns in american politics to come before election day so we will see how that in the issue of american policy on ukraine plays out. thank you time edward. now to a big story here in the uk: a man has been found guilty of murdering a nine—year—old in her home in liverpool last summer. thomas cashman fired shots through the family's front door while chasing another man through the streets. the 34—year—old was also found guilty of wounding olivia pratt—korbel�*s mother in the attack and the attempted murder of a convicted drugs dealerjoseph nee. police said that olivia's death

should not be in vain, and they hope that today's verdict will deter others from using guns on the streets. our north of england correspondent, judith moritz, reports from manchester crown court. ijust want to know what i've done. that's all. all i want to know is what i'm arrested for. his own barrister called him one of the most hated people in the country. on suspicion of murder and suspicion of attempted murder twice. this is thomas cashman, the man who shot a nine—year—old girl dead. the police caught him after a huge manhunt. he'd used two guns, hell bent on murder. but his plan went wrong. last august, cashman was lying in wait in this liverpool street. the drugs dealer was intent on executing another dealer, called joseph nee. as nee walked along the road,

cashman caught up with him. he opened fire. he kept shooting at his target, but then his gunjammed. nee ran for his life. he saw the light from an open doorway and ran towards it. cashman shot again as nee barged in. the bullet went through the door. it hit nine—year—old olivia corbell in the chest, terrified by the sound of gunfire, the little girl had left her bed to find her mum. cheryl corbell was herself shot as she tried to keep cashman out. today she was in court to hear the guilty verdicts. yes! cheryl, how you feeling? ecstatic. the murder made national headlines. the shooting of a child cited as a real low, but not a new low. exactly 15 years earlier, 11 year old reecejones was also shot dead in liverpool.

olivia's murder carried the sense of history repeating itself. the shooting provoked a strong reaction within this community. information flowed into the police in a volume detectives say they haven't experienced before. and they say some of those they'd expected to put up a wall of silence, chose to speak out. what we saw with this particular crime, with olivia's murder is... people were talking about a line being crossed and almost for those involved in crime, as though there is an acceptable level where you don't talk normally, that grass culture being embedded. what we saw with this crime is that lots and lots of people on both sides of that criminal line were wanting to come forward and speak to us. but until he was caught, thomas cashman was still terrorising some within the community. he was causing that fear and that intimidation and putting people off.

the investigation has shown that once he was charged, people felt more confident and comfortable to come forward. the number of guns being fired on merseyside has fallen significantly over the last decade, though last year there were five deaths in as many months and cases like olivia's highlight the risk of any bullet being fired. i don't know how many people - were were harmed as a result of me i putting firearms on the street and i were no doubt people were harmed. and it's a massive regret. zacharias mcgrath was part of an organised crime gang in liverpool, jailed for violence and gun offences. now rehabilitated. he started to work with gang members to turn their lives around. any life, which is unfortunate if it's lost to any type of crime _ or any type of violence. but you know, the fact that it's an innocent child - in their own home or going - about their business makes it makes it much worse. and i believe there's many more

incidents to come like that. - the jailing of thomas cashman may bring some small comfort to olivia's family. i feel i'm on it as well. but of course it can't bring her back. her childhood has been cruelly and senselessly snatched away. that can never be repaired. next, to germany, and the second day of king charles' state visit. and we've seen the first address to the german parliament by a british monarch. here's some of it. the unprovoked invasion of ukraine has inflicted the most unimaginable suffering on so many innocent people. countless lives have been destroyed. freedom and human dignity

have been trampled in the most brutal way. for more on the visit so far — let's hearfrom our berlin correspondentjenny hill. i think he certainly more outspoken than his mother, the late queen of course. two things are going on here. ukraine and climate change are real focuses of this trip, and that's because they are challenges which he can say, britain and europe want to work closely together and they face both countries sorry both countries, the eu and britain face those challenges. and he said both have been united in their response. that is helpful. but i think two, this is a chance for king charles iii to start showing us what kind of monarch he is going to be. and i think we've got a bit of a taste of that. what i've been struck by is the energy and enthusiasm exhibited so far on this tour. one big theme of this trip is environmental issues.

earlier today, the king paid a visit to an organic farm. and on friday, he'll travel to hamburg to tour a renewable energy project. king charles will also be visiting this memorial — and laying a wreath to the german victims of allied raids in the second world war, marking another first. the german tabloid bild has called it "a silent gesture...but it "will say more than any speech.�* state visits are designed to deepen relationships between two countries — let�*s assess what the goal will be with this one. robert lacey is a royal historian who served as a historical consultant on the netflix series, the crown. thank you forjoining us on outside source. how would you summarise the overall goal of this particular visit�*s overall goal of this particular visit' , ., ~ ., visit's well, in terms of anglo reneral visit's well, in terms of anglo general relations, _ visit's well, in terms of anglo general relations, british - visit's well, in terms of anglo - general relations, british general relations, you�*vejust general relations, british general relations, you�*ve just said, general relations, british general relations, you�*vejust said, this is the first major visit post—brexit.

and it shows that there can be life with germany. after brexit. and of course it�*s also prince charles is debut, and i think everybody who watch the speech will have been impressed by how incredibly accomplished, we�*vejust impressed by how incredibly accomplished, we�*ve just seen impressed by how incredibly accomplished, we�*vejust seen him speaking german there. it was a mixture of german and english that he spoke. and it was a mixture of solemn message. we saw what he had to say about ukraine, and then he started talking about monty python. and the beatles. and how he was quite healthy before for english people to allow for the germans, and for the germans to (us. and people to allow for the germans, and for the germans to ( us. and i think what�*s particularly interesting is what�*s particularly interesting is what�*s coming up tomorrow when as we have already heard, he will be laying a reef in hamburg in memory of the victims of english british bombing during the war. now that is something the queen never dead. she made 15 visits to germany, five of

them state visits. she was pressured as we know by the british government to make that gesture. she wouldn�*t do it. but prince charles is going to do it. we understand, tomorrow. that�*s interesting that you raise the the dynamic between the monarchy and the government of the time. tell us how that works. who is deciding certain elements of the choreography through the three grays? iretell certain elements of the choreography through the three grays?— through the three grays? well it's a “oint through the three grays? well it's a joint decision _ through the three grays? well it's a joint decision and _ through the three grays? well it's a joint decision and it _ through the three grays? well it's a joint decision and it also _ through the three grays? well it's a joint decision and it also involves i joint decision and it also involves the german government. what prince charles, he has spent all of his life getting ready for this job. charles, he has spent all of his life getting ready for thisjob. and i think one of the things we saw today was actually rather how well he is prepared for it. everything here said today and everything he will do tomorrow has been approved ljy will do tomorrow has been approved by the british government itself, obviously in collaboration with the germans. but we can see his initiative. the queen wouldn�*t have made jokes about monty python, and we know that the queen, having

herself lived through the blitz, that was one step she was not prepared to take will stop she was actually booed in dresden 20 years ago, because they expected her to make some reference to british bombing. she wouldn�*t do it. prince charles is going to do it, and that marks a change of style will stop but always, within the quarter of what the british government thinks is right. find what the british government thinks is riuht. �* . , is right. and finally, with the monarch also _ is right. and finally, with the monarch also have _ is right. and finally, with the monarch also have a - is right. and finally, with the monarch also have a view . is right. and finally, with the monarch also have a view on j is right. and finally, with the - monarch also have a view on where he might visit next, where the next state visit should be, where he can next exert some influence if possible on a particularly important relationship between the uk and love the country�*s retell relationship between the uk and love the country'— the country's well i'm sure it's auoin to the country's well i'm sure it's going to be — the country's well i'm sure it's going to be the _ the country's well i'm sure it's l going to be the commonwealth, the country's well i'm sure it's - going to be the commonwealth, if not the very next door, a very short one. the commonwealth is a great creation of his mother. and he�*s got to take it to stage further this is again in an age after brexit. the commonwealth is a major aspect of british soft power in the world. we�*ve already seen an interesting

alliance between britain, australia, and america. i am sure it will be the pacific in the commonwealth that he is off to pretty soon. that is where the queen went after her coronation back in 53. i am sure we will see prince charles, sorry, there i go again, king charles, heading in the same direction. we've all made that — heading in the same direction. we've all made that slip _ heading in the same direction. we've all made that slip on _ heading in the same direction. we've all made that slip on occasion - heading in the same direction. we've all made that slip on occasion i'm - all made that slip on occasion i�*m sure. robert lacey, thank you for joining us, talking to us about king charles iii state visit to germany. and of course you can get much more coverage on that on the bbc news website to. let me just quickly update you on the popes help because we have been told that he is responding well to antibiotics for bronchitis. this has come from the vatican. we knew that he was being treated in hospital, so we are being told he is responding well to antibiotics and being treated. for bronchitis. that is this for the first half—hour of outside source. thank you for watching. i�*ll be back

with the climate editor of bbc news to talk about the government new net zero plan. hello there. plenty of sunny spells around today but also some foundry downpours that times. this was part of my weather watcher in northeast england. there is more wet weather and the forecast overnight. just south of the uk will see some gusty winds, quite stormy through southwestern courtesy of the steep area of pressure gradually working its way northwards and eastward. tight squeeze on the isobars, plenty of heavy rain, localised weather warnings and force. of course it is milder underneath the cloud, the rain, with the winds toward the south, temperatures in the double figures, further north there will be gray

skies and temperatures will drop back to single figures here. there is some concern as to the strength of the winds tomorrow morning early in the day on friday, could be some costs toward expose coastal areas of 50 to 60 miles an hour. parts of devon the channel islands could see cost of 70 miles of an hour, the strongest of winds in kent and sussex through the morning. we have some heavy foundry downpours across england tomorrow. cold air coming in from the north sea. so here it is cold and it�*s cloudy, particularly across eastern areas of scotland. best of the sunshine eastern areas of northern island. and it will be colder across the board, temperatures peaking between nine and 13 celsius. we are set to keep that cooler feeling air over the weekend but wet at times on saturday. dryer on sunday. ourarea of low pressure sores moving away. we start to see high pressure building on as we head through sunday. that will keep us largely dry with a bit more sunshine around.

on saturday we still have this trailing weather front. it�*s over northern island, southwest of england. there will be some outbreaks of rain here. we still have this cold air coming in. it�*s cold, it�*s cloudy, and they will be drizzle for much of the day temperatures peaking at 11 celsius. as we had through sunday temperatures peaking between nine and 12 degrees.

hello, i�*m ros atkins with outside source. the white house condemns the arrest of an american journalist in russia. the kremlin has accused him of spying. some of the wall streetjournal denies. the uk government announces a new net zero plan, which has been met with criticism from experts and environmental campaigners. more on that in a moment. and brazil�*s former president, jair bolsonaro, returns to the country after three months of self—imposed exile in america. and we�*ll look at a new blood test which could save thousands of people from having unnecessary chemotherapy every year.

here in the uk, the government has released a new plan to reach net zero by 2050. this plan matters in terms of climate change, but it�*s also political, and it�*ll impact the uk�*s economy. we�*ve a lot to show you on this — first, here�*s the prime minister. today, we�*re announcing more investment in renewables like offshore wind, reviving the nuclear industry, developing new industries like carbon capture and storage, and as we deliver on that, we�*re going to create jobs across the country, increase our energy security, reduce reduce people�*s bills and reduce our carbon emissions. now, because of a vote by parliament, the uk is legally obliged to reach net zero by 2050. in terms of what that means: the un defines net zero as "cutting greenhouse gas emissions to as close to zero as possible, "with any remaining emissions re—absorbed from the atmosphere — to do that by 2050, the uk needs to dramatically reduce

emissions across many areas of our lives — from transport, to electricity to how we heat our homes. and so far, that�*s not happening quickly enough. the climate action tracker website says less than 40% of the uk�*s required emissions reductions are currently supported by proven policies and sufficient funding, and that shortfall in detailed plans connects to a ruling in the high court last year. the court found that the government�*s existing plan for net zero didn�*t actually show how the uk would meet its target, and it said the government is legally obliged to do that, which is why we�*ve got more detail today — but not everyone is convinced by what they�*ve heard. i'm afraid, although the government has put forward further details today over its plans, it hasn't provided... i'm not sure it's provided enough plans to satisfy the core principle.

"tt9 long—term costs, speaking like having your cake and eating it? tt9: long—term costs, speaking like an economist, the long—term costs are lower than gas. once you build the things, as soon as the wind blows, you get energy. you can be a lot

cheaper. the problem is the way the uk market works, the price for electricity for consumers is set by the gas price. what they�*re looking at doing is decoupling electricity prices from gas, benefiting from the lower long—term costs of renewables, and they held that way they can lower energy prices. lots of people would say that probably will work. it's would say that probably will work. it�*s certainly something they will explorer. in this report, they say they have an ambition to explore the potential to do that. that�*s something they hope to do in the next couple of years. the report is quite clear that it will lower bills, the lowest energy prices in europe by 2035, it will take a few years before the effects of the changes begin to lower the prices. t changes begin to lower the prices. i also wanted to ask about investment,

trying to encourage them to locate in europe. in the criticism of this bill is that there isn�*t enough of those incentives to encourage companies to come to britain. that�*s something that grant shapps says will be addressed is through regulations. that might make it easier, but it�*s not the same as the kind of huge financial benefits that they get relocating to america or europe. they get relocating to america or euro e. g , they get relocating to america or euroe. , :, europe. justin, we always appreciate our hel. important heath story. cancer researchers in the uk are hoping that a blood test may allow some bowel cancer patients to avoid chemotherapy. professor david cunningham helped run the trial.

this is a common disease. a6,000 this is a common disease. 16,000 new patients a year in the united kingdom. roughly fourfifths patients a year in the united kingdom. roughly four fifths will have an operation that renders them potentially disease—free. currently, cancer patients who receive successful surgery are offered intravenous chemotherapy, to �*mop up�* any cancer cells that might be remaining. the new blood test — or liquid biopsy — looks for fragments of dna that could indicate the presence of cancer tumours in the body. it�*s hoped if there are none, then a patient wouldn�*t need chemotherapy. here�*s professor cunningham again. the whole point about this approach is that we can more reliably detect the patients who need the treatment and spare the patients who don�*t. so it�*s really exactly the sort of tool we�*ve been looking for in practice. as we�*ve heard, the focus here is bowel cancer patients.

and bowel cancer is a particular priority. it�*s a cancer that starts in the colon or rectum. it�*s the fourth most common cancer in the uk and has the second highest mortality rate. it accounts for roughly 10% of cancer deaths in the uk. let�*s hear from one of those involved in the trial. this is ben, he�*s a hairdresserfrom london, and he was diagnosed with bowel cancer in march last year. he had a successful surgery and was understandably concerned about prospect of chemotherapy. i feel like i wouldn't of been able to carry— i feel like i wouldn't of been able to carry on. _ i feel like i wouldn't of been able to carry on, but the fact that i didn't have _ to carry on, but the fact that i didn't have any tingling or anything in my— didn't have any tingling or anything in my hands isjust an absolute blessing — chemotherapy works by damaging cancerous cells, but it can damage normal cells, too. and that can create physical side effects, such as tingling hands as benjust mentioned. there are others, too, and there�*s a pyschological dimension, too. this is suzanne, who had the blood

test done privately. i know i would feel terrible, and also, _ i know i would feel terrible, and also, your— i know i would feel terrible, and also, your whole _ i know i would feel terrible, and also, your whole everything - i know i would feel terrible, and also, your whole everything — l i know i would feel terrible, and - also, your whole everything — you're getting _ also, your whole everything — you're getting ready— also, your whole everything — you're getting ready for— also, your whole everything — you're getting ready for it. _ also, your whole everything — you're getting ready for it. you're - getting ready for it. you're psyching _ getting ready for it. you're psyching yourself - getting ready for it. you're psyching yourself up - getting ready for it. you're psyching yourself up for. getting ready for it. you're psyching yourself up for it. getting ready for it. you're i psyching yourself up for it. to suddenly— psyching yourself up for it. to suddenly hear— psyching yourself up for it. to suddenly hear that _ psyching yourself up for it. to suddenly hear that you - psyching yourself up for it. to suddenly hear that you aren't| psyching yourself up for it. to - suddenly hear that you aren't going to need _ suddenly hear that you aren't going to need it _ suddenly hear that you aren't going to need it is — suddenly hear that you aren't going to need it isjust— suddenly hear that you aren't going to need it isjust unbelievable. - the good news is that blood test showed that neither suzanne nor ben needed chemotherapy treatment. and more good news is that the approach of this is being tested on other cancers, too. here�*s the bbc medical editor, fergus walsh. these blood tests, or liquid biopsies, are part of a revolution in the diagnosis and monitoring of cancer. they�*re being trialled in the uk across lung, breast as well as bowel cancer, and can detect minute fragments of tumour dna months, even years before it would show up on a scan.

thank you very much forjoining us. how heartening to have you been on by the results? to simple blood test to help us physicians direct who needs and who doesn�*t need chemotherapy after surgery, so there are some nice observational data that we�*ve seen and the point to test it in practice, we�*re doing that through our study. over practice, we�*re doing that through ourstudy. over1600 practice, we�*re doing that through our study. over 1600 patients across the uk, and it�*s going to be running over the next three years or so. at the end of it, we hope to establish whether we can use this technology to safely spare patients unnecessary chemotherapy, therefore resulting in thousands of patients with bowel cancer having surgery being spared

bone. a creature from 100 million years ago begins to emerge. this is patagotitan, one of the largest dinosaurs ever to walk the earth. assembling this dinosaur is like putting together a giant 3d jigsaw puzzle. there are more than 500 bones and fixings, but no instruction manual. this beast measures 37 metres from the tip of its nose all the way down to its tail, and itjust about squeezes into this room with a few twists and turns along the way. the titanosaur is a cast, an exact replica of the original fossilised bones, and getting a creature like this into a 140—year—old building has been a challenge. we�*ve had to take some of the doors off in order to get the crates and different parts of the dinosaur in, and some of the bones and the cast itself are quite heavy, so we�*ve had to reinforce our floors. that sense of awe at standing under

one of the largest animals to have walked on land and trying to imagine it as a living, breathing creature is, yeah, it�*s amazing. the bones were unearthed at a ranch in patagonia in argentina just over a decade ago. as scientists got to grips with the scale of their find, they were joined by sir david attenborough. he also got a chance to see what this titan of the cretaceous period might have looked like. now the exhibition is complete, the dinosaur is ready for its moment in the spotlight. patagotitan still holds some mysteries. no—one knows why these creatures grew so big or how they came to die out, but their size and their success for millions of years puts our own existence into sharp perspective. rebecca morelle, bbc news. this is outside source live from the bbc newsroom. our lead story is that the white house has condemned

the arrest of an american journalist in russia. the kremlin has accused him of spying. something is paper vehemently denies. let�*s bring you a little more information on the health of the pope. the vatican says he�*s responding well to antibiotics for bronchitis and the 86—year—old could be discharged "in the coming days". he was admitted to gemelli hospital on wednesday, for what was initially said to be a scheduled check—up. this is the busiest time of the year for pope francis, with many events and services scheduled ahead of easter weekend. as i�*m just... the vatican says he�*s responding well. a big moment for brazil. its former right—wing president, jair bolsonaro, has returned from the us. he left brazil of his own accord on the 30th of december. that was two days before this happened — the current president luiz inacio

lula da silva taking power. and it was nine days before this happened — bolsonaro�*s supporters storming government buildings in the capital, brasilia. bolsonaro condemned the attack and denied encouraging the rioters. that was then — this is now. there was tight security at brasilia airport as mr bolsonaro arrived. some supporters had gathered. this is one of them. translation: we've been waiting for this moment. for a long time. we�*ve been looking forward to it since january the 1st. he needed this time in the us for himself in a place far away. as a patriot and as a brazilian, i supported his departure. mr bolsonaro would leave by a side exit at the airport. but did wave to supporters as he arrived at his liberal party headquarters, and he got the warm welcome you�*d expect. in fact, the party is saying they expect mr bolsonaro to lead the opposition to lula, though mr bolsanaro himself has played that idea down. we�*ll see. and aside from politics, mr bolsanaro returns to a range of legal challenges.

there�*s an investigation into alleged incitement connected to the storming of government buildings injanuary. and there�*s more. here�*s bbc brasil�*s camilla mota. there are 16 lawsuits against him in the brazilian superior electoral court. — the brazilian superior electoral court, and one of them investigates into the _ court, and one of them investigates into the january the 8th attacks in brasilia _ into the january the 8th attacks in brasilia. thousands of his supporters stormed government buildings, but beside that, some of the probes— buildings, but beside that, some of the probes also investigate him spreading disinformation and casting doubt _ spreading disinformation and casting doubt on _ spreading disinformation and casting doubt on brazil's electoral system in the _ doubt on brazil's electoral system in the 2022 elections. he's also been _ in the 2022 elections. he's also been entangled in this very, controversial case. he received some very expensive... he has to explain

the country, he�*s going to be bringing up support. you�*ve got to remember that bolsonaro, in october, did a lot better. he won 1a of brazil�*s states. he was only 2 million votes short of lula, a lot closer to lula than expected. in large swathes, bolsonaro is a more popularfigure large swathes, bolsonaro is a more popular figure than the current president. popular figure than the current resident. :, �* popular figure than the current president-— popular figure than the current resident. :, �* ., ,:, president. you're right about the fi . ures, president. you're right about the figures. but _ president. you're right about the figures, but there's _ president. you're right about the figures, but there's plenty - president. you're right about the figures, but there's plenty of- president. you're right about the l figures, but there's plenty of water figures, but there�*s plenty of water under the bridge. you don�*t think the fact that he went to florida for several months, even if he didn�*t ask it to happen, the storming of those buildings won�*t damage his reputation or his standing? tia reputation or his standing? no doubt. reputation or his standing? th? doubt. it has done, but both tomorrow —— bolsonaro is a hard—core support. his opinion poll suggested

that 50% blamed him for the coup attempt on the 8th of january. that�*s what it was. so, he does have a bedrock of support and he�*s coming at a time when president lula is really struggling with the economy. brazil is right on the edge of recession. it�*s going to grow by less than 1%, expectations are very high for brazil amongst people who voted for lula. it�*s proving to be very difficult. he�*s finding it extremely hard to mobilise a coalition in congress. he�*s dependent on a group of centrist politicians who were helping bolsonaro not more than six months ago. this is a very delicate situation for lula, and bolsonaro and his supporters will be looking to exploit it. just and his supporters will be looking to exploit it—

to russia to leave immediately. this follows a court in moscow ordering that a us journalist is kept in custody over spying charges. this isn�*t a huge shift in policy. this isn�*t a huge shift in policy. this isn�*t a huge shift in policy. this is a response to a moscow court ordering that a us journalist in custody in the east of russia then brought to moscow has been told he would be in custody towards the end of may. he�*s being accused by the russians of charges related to spying. it�*s something his paper has pushed back the very heart there. the white house has caused the espionage ridiculous and it says us diplomats are sinking consular access. as you can imagine, the diplomatic channels between russia and the us are severely strained by the war in

ukraine thanks for watching, i�*ll be backin ukraine thanks for watching, i�*ll be back in a couple of minutes. hello there. also some heavy and thundering down boards at times. more wet weather in the overnight tonight. towards the south of the uk, is quite stormy towards southwestern facing coast in particular. gradually working its way northward and eastward throughout the night and through the day. tight squeeze on the isobars, strong gusty winds. plenty of heavy rain, localised weather warnings in force. it�*s mild underneath the cloud, the rain with the winds towards the south, temperatures in double figures. further north, there will be some clear skies and temperatures will drop back to low

single figures perhaps was not some concern to the... some gust of wind towards expose coast of 50—60 mph and parts of devon, cornwall, the channel islands. strongest of the winds just transferring further east until kent in sussex. heavy downpours tomorrow afternoon given any brightness. cold feet of air coming in from the north sea, so here it�*s cold and it�*s cloudy. —— cold feed. it�*s being colder across the board, temperatures peaking between 9—13 celsius. we�*re set to keep that cooler air over the weekend. drier on sunday. ourarea of low pressure�*s moving away and we start to see high pressure building in as we head through sunday. that will keep us largely dry with some

sunshine around. it�*s over northern ireland, southwestern england that will be some outbreaks of rain. we still got those cold feeds of air coming in. temperatures peaking at only 8—11 celsius. sunday, the high pressure starts to dominate. still a lot of cloud across scotland, northern ireland, perhaps southwest england. elsewhere, lots of sunshine. temperatures peaking between 9—12 degrees.

hello, i�*m ros atkins. this is outside source. the white house condemns the arrest of an american journalist in russia. the kremlin has accused him of spying. something the wall streetjournal vehemently demonic denies. in the uk, a man is found guilty of murdering nine—year—old olivia pratt—korbel in liverpool last august. the uk government announces a new net—zero plan, which has been met with criticism from experts and environmental campaigners. and king charles becomes the first british monarch to address the german parliament. he spoke about ukraine. translation: the unprovoked invasion of ukraine has inflicted the most - unimaginable suffering on so many innocent people.

hi. welcome to what is the last edition of outside source. we�*ll start in russia. a short while ago, the white house advised us citizens residing or travelling to russia to leave immediately. this follows a court in moscow ordering that a us journalist is kept in custody over spying charges. the journalist in question is evan gershkovich. he works for the wall streetjournal. russia�*s security service is the fsb. it says the journalist was "acting on us instructions" and that he had "collected information constituting a state secret about the activities of a russian defence enterprise". the wall streetjournal denies this. we�*ve heard from the kremlin, too.

translation: this is - the prerogative of the fsb. you already had a statement about this from the federal security service. we have nothing to add. the only thing i can add is, as far as we know, he was caught red—handed. russia�*s foreign ministry spokeswoman says mr gershkovich was arrested for activities not related to journalism. translation: under the cover of journalist activity with - a press visa and accreditation, this person, judging by the actions undertaken by him and in relation to him, has been involved in a completely different type of activity. i am now reading a lot of reports in western media saying he had accreditation from the foreign ministry, therefore he is a journalist. no, no, no. this is what he claimed to be, but what he has been doing, i am speaking about this case only

for now, was notjournalism. in the last hour, we heard from the white house. these espionage charges are ridiculous. _ the targeting of american citizens by the russian . government is unacceptable. we condemn the detention - of mr gershkovich in the strongest, in the strongest terms. we also condemn the russian - government's continued targeting and repression of journalists. the wall streetjournal has also responded. it says it "vehemently denies the allegations from the fsb", that�*s russia�*s security service, and goes on to say they seek "the immediate release of our trusted and dedicated reporter, evan gershkovich. we stand in solidarity with evan and his family." evan gershkovich�*s lawyer says he will be held until at least the end of may and added this outside the court. translation: iwasn't allowed into the court i although i should've been. i contacted the office _ of criminal cases, and they told me they did not have this case. now this story stretches across russia. the hearing today was in moscow, but we need to go 1800 kilometres to the east to see

where evan gershkovich was arrested. it�*s a place called yekaterinburg. the fsb has confirmed that mr gershkovich had accreditation to be there, and we know that earlier this week, his latest article looked at the russian economy and the challenges of, in his words, "ballooning military expenditures". well, once taken into custody, evan gershkovich was moved from yekaterinburg to moscow, and it�*s there that the bbc�*s russia editor steve rosenberg is based. we know what the main charge is, and that�*s espionage. a criminal case has been opened against evan under article 276 of the russian criminal code, espionage. the maximum possible punishment, according to that article, is 20 years in prison. we know evan, he�*s well known to foreign journalists here,

an experienced reporter on russia and an excellent reporter, a highly principled journalist. he was detained about 1000 miles from the russian capital, and the fsb, the russian domestic security service, issued a statement saying that he had been involved in unlawful activities and they accused him of gathering classified information about a defence plant and said he was under suspicion of espionage in the interests of the us government. next, our north america correspondent anthony zurcher updated us with the reaction from the us. the advice is don't travel - to russia, and if you're in russia, get out as soon as possible. this isn't new advice. this is advice that the i united states has been giving since last year. but they are renewing their urgent | call, saying that american citizensj in russia could face detention and imprisonment if they stay there, and the advice is it may not be easy to get out, -

flights are somewhat - irregular coming to western countries out of moscow, - but to get out as soon as possible. otherwise, face - adverse consequences. more specifically in this case of this wall streetjournal journalist who�*s currently in custody, what is the biden administration saying about that? the biden administration has first of all condemned the detention i i and said that this is yet another i example of moscow's cracking down on journalists and the free press in general and freedom - of expression in general. but it's condemned that, - it's said that it has reached out to the wall street journal - and spoken with the wall street journal editors, executives. it also reached out to the family of the detainee and is trying - to have official communication. with moscow, but they have not revealed any evidence of that communication or any resultl of it so far. on that point anthony, presumably because of the war in ukraine, the diplomatic channels between russia and america are strained, to put it mildly.

yeah, extremely strained. so this is just yet another instance of the relations degrading. - if you remember an american i basketball star, britney griner, was detained for months last year. she finally was released in a swap with an arms dealer who was held and sentenced to prison. here in the united states. there's another american, - paul whelan, who has been held there, was convicted i and sentenced to prison for what russia said was espionage. the united states is trying to get him out as well. - so this is a sign that depths of relations not seen - since the cold war, which also was the last time an american journalist in moscow, _ in russia was accused of espionage, back in 1986 with a us news & world report reporter. - now to a big story here in the uk, a man has been found guilty of murdering a nine—year—old

in her home in liverpool last summer. thomas cashman fired shots through the family�*s front door while chasing another man through the streets. the 34—year—old was also found guilty of wounding olivia pratt—korbel�*s mother in the attack and the attempted murder of a convicted drugs dealerjoseph nee. police said that olivia�*s death should not be in vain, and they hope that today�*s verdict will deter others from using guns on the streets. our north of england correspondent judith moritz reports from manchester crown court. i just want to know what i�*ve done. that�*s all! all i want to know is what i�*m arrested for. his own barrister called him one of the most hated people in the country. you're under arrest on suspicion of murder and suspicion of attempted murder twice. this is thomas cashman, the man who shot a nine—year—old girl dead. the police caught him after a huge manhunt. he�*d used two guns, hell—bent on murder.

but his plan went wrong. last august, cashman was lying in wait in this liverpool street. the drugs dealer was intent on executing another dealer, called joseph nee. as nee walked along the road, cashman caught up with him. he opened fire. he kept shooting at his target, but then his gunjammed. nee ran for his life. he saw the light from an open doorway and ran towards it. cashman shot again as nee barged in. the bullet went through the door. it hit nine—year—old olivia pratt—korbel in the chest. terrified by the sound of gunfire, the little girl had left her bed to find her mum. cheryl korbel was herself shot as she tried to keep cashman out. today, she was in court to hear the guilty verdicts. yes!

cheryl, how are you feeling? ecstatic! the murder made national headlines. the shooting of a child cited as a real low, but not a new low. exactly 15 years earlier, 11—year—old reecejones was also shot dead in liverpool. olivia�*s murder carried the sense of history repeating itself. the shooting provoked a strong reaction within this community. information flowed into the police in a volume detectives say they haven�*t experienced before. and they say some of those they�*d expected to put up a wall of silence chose to speak out. what we saw with this particular crime, - with olivia's murder is people were talking about a line - being crossed. almost for those involved in crime, as though -

there was an acceptable level. where you don't talk normally, that grass culture being embedded. what we saw with this crime is that lots and lots of people on both - sides of that criminal line were wanting to come - forward and speak to us. but until he was caught, thomas cashman was still terrorising some within the community. he was causing that fear and that intimidation and putting people off. the investigation has shown that once he was charged, people felt more confident and comfortable to come forward. the number of guns being fired on merseyside has fallen significantly over the last decade, though last year there were five deaths in as many months. and cases like olivia�*s highlight the risk of any bullet being fired. i don't know how many people were harmed as a result of me putting firearms on the streets, and no doubt people were harmed, and it's something i massively regret. zacharias mcgrath was part of an organised crime gang in liverpool, jailed for violence and gun offences.

now rehabilitated, he�*s started to work with gang members to turn their lives around. any life is unfortunate if it's lost to any type of crime or any type of violence. but, you know, the fact that it's an innocent child in their own home or going about their business makes it makes it much worse. and i believe there's many more incidents to come like that. the jailing of thomas cashman may bring some small comfort to olivia�*s family. i feel i'm on it as well. but of course it can�*t bring her back. her childhood has been cruelly and senselessly snatched away. that can never be repaired. here in the uk, the government has released a new plan to reach net—zero by 2050. this plan matters in terms of climate change, but it�*s also political. and it�*ll impact the uk�*s economy. we�*ve a lot to show you on this. first, here�*s the prime minister.

today, we�*re announcing more investment in renewables like offshore wind, reviving the nuclear industry, developing new industries like carbon capture and storage, and as we deliver on that, we�*re going to create jobs across the country, increase our energy security, reduce people�*s bills and reduce our carbon emissions. now, because of a vote by parliament, the uk is legally obliged to reach net—zero by 2050. in terms of what that means, the un defines net—zero as "cutting greenhouse gas emissions to as close to zero as possible, with any remaining emissions re—absorbed from the atmosphere, by oceans and forests for instance". to do that by 2050, the uk needs to dramatically reduce emissions across many areas of our lives, from transport to electricity to how we heat our homes. and, so far, that�*s not happening quickly enough. the climate action tracker website says less than 40% of the uk�*s required emissions reductions are currently supported by proven policies and sufficient funding,

and that shortfall in detailed plans connects to a ruling in the high court last year. the court found that the government�*s existing plan for net—zero didn�*t actually show how the uk would meet its target, and it said the government is legally obliged to do that, which is why we�*ve got more detail today. but not everyone is convinced by what they�*ve heard. although the government has put forward further details today of its plans, it hasn't provided, i'm not sure it's provided enough plans to satisfy the court first of all, which was the reason there's been a revision, but more crucially, it hasn't provided an investment plan because to make these targets and

policies come true. it's going to need to have investment both by government and private sector and consumers, and that's lacking at the moment. the opposition labour party is also critical of the government�*s plans. shadow climate secretary ed miliband described it as "a weak and feeble groundhog day of re—announcements, reheated policy and no new investment." the campaign group friends of the earth was involved in bringing the case against the government to the high court last year demanding more detail. and now the government has responded, the group isn�*t ruling out going back to court. this is its head of policy. we don't eagerly takel governments to court. it's a costly process. it's a time—consuming process. but if we absolutely need to to get the government on track— and to meet its international obligations, we'll do it. - now the government is pushing back at this. it says there�*s new investment to help meet net—zero and that people�*s energy bills will be reduced in the long—term. and rishi sunak argues the uk is a global leader in cutting emissions.

people should be really proud of the uk�*s track record on all of this. if you look at it, we�*ve decarbonised faster than any other major economy. our carbon emissions have been reduced by over ito%, much more than all the other countries that we compete with. at the same time, we�*ve grown our economy, so we�*ve got a good track record on this, and actually today�*s announcement demonstrates our leadership in multiple areas that will help improve our energy security and get bills down. let�*s get more on the uk�*s track record from our climate editorjustin rowlatt. they certainly do well at cutting carbon emissions, largely because the uk made a move between coal to gas, now gas to renewables. offshore wind is a huge new industry in britain. we certainly are decarbonising our electricity system. we're slower decarbonising the rest of the economy. i was interested to see the government notjust talk about moving towards net—zero, but in the long run, this could be good for people�*s energy bills.

is that having your cake and eating it and do you think those sums add up? they kind of do add up. the long—term costs, speaking like an economist, the long—term costs are lower than gas. once you build the things, as soon as the wind blows, you get energy. so they can be a lot cheaper, certainly at the moment. the problem is the way the uk market works, the price for electricity for consumers is set by the gas price, so it's very high. what they're looking at doing is decoupling electricity prices from gas, benefiting from the lower long—term costs of renewables, and they hope that way they can lower energy prices. lots of people who work in the sector would say that probably will work. it's certainly something they will explore. in this report, they say they have an ambition to explore the potential to do that. that's something they hope to do in the next couple of years.

and the report is quite clear that although, they say, it will lower bills, the lowest energy prices in europe by 2035, it will take a few years before the effects of the changes begin to lower the prices. i also wanted to ask about investment, i�*ve watched this and i hear the government saying no, they�*re providing lots of investment, but critics are saying no. my head is spinning a bit, can you help me? the government isn't always clear about what is public. there's been a cascade, a torrent of private investment into the renewable energy of britain, particularly offshore. the government talks about £200 billion worth of investment in the north sea. that is almost all private investment. then there is this issue about how much public investment there is encouraging

low—carbon industries. that's a slightly different debate, that's a debate debate, that's a debate about looking at what america is doing through its inflation reduction act. europe's looked at what america's doing and said it can match it so there's lots of money flowing into low—carbon industries, trying to encourage them to locate in europe. and the criticism of this bill is that there isn't enough of those incentives to encourage companies to come to britain. that's something that grant shapps says will be addressed through regulations. that's all very well and it might make it easier, but it's not the same as the kind of huge financial benefits that they get relocating to america or europe. we have already had stories from russia, the us and the uk so now we turn to germany. next to germany and the second day

of king charles�* state visit, and we�*ve seen the first address to the german parliament by a british monarch. here�*s some of it. translation: the unprovoked invasion of ukraine has inflicted the most - unimaginable suffering on so many innocent people. countless lives have been destroyed. freedom and human dignity have been trampled in the most brutal way. for more on the visit so far, let�*s hearfrom our berlin correspondentjenny hill. i think he's certainly more outspoken than his mother, the late queen, of course. and i suppose there are two things are going on here. ukraine and climate change are real focuses of this trip, and that's because they are challenges which he can say britain and europe want to work closely together on. they face... both countries... i'm sorry, both the eu and britain

face those challenges. they are united problems, and he said both have been united in their response. that's been helpful. but i think, two, this is a chance for king charles iii to start showing us what kind of monarch he's going to be _ and i think we've got a bit of a taste of that. you know, what i've been struck by is the energy and enthusiasm exhibited so far on this tour. one big theme of this trip is environmental issues. earlier today, the king paid a visit to an organic farm, and on friday, he�*ll travel to hamburg to tour a renewable energy project. king charles will also be visiting this memorial and laying a wreath to the german victims of allied raids in the second world war, marking another first. the german tabloid bild has called it "a silent gesture, but it will say more than any speech". state visits are designed to deepend relationships between two countries. let�*s assess what the goal will be with this one. robert lacey is a royal historian who served as a historical consultant on the netflix series

the crown. this is the first major visit post—brexit. - and it shows that there can be life with germany after brexit. - and of course it's also prince charles' debut, j and i think everybody who watched i the speech will have been impressed by how incredibly accomplished... we've just seen his speaking german there. _ it was a mixture of german and english that he spoke.| and it was a mixture of solemn message, we saw what he hadl to say about ukraine, - and then he started talking about monty python and the beatles. and how it was quite - healthy for english people to laugh at the germans, and for the germans - to laugh back at us. and i think what's particularly interesting is what's - coming up tomorrow when, as we've already heard, - he will be laying a wreath _ in hamburg in memory of the victims

of english, british- bombing during the war. now that's something the queen never did. | she made 15 visits to germany, five of them state visits. - she was pressurised, we know, by the british government - to make that gesture. she wouldn't do it. but prince charles is going to do it, we understand, tomorrow. i and that�*s interesting that you raise the the dynamic between the monarchy and the government at the time. tell us how that works. tell us who�*s deciding certain elements of the choreography through the three days? well, it's a joint decision, and it also involves - the german government. sorry, here we are you see, he's spent all of his life i getting ready for thisjob. and i think one of the things we saw today was actually rather how well i he's prepared for it. everything he has said today - and everything he will do tomorrow

has been approved by the british government itself, obviously- in collaboration with the germans. but we can see his initiative. the queen wouldn't have made jokes about monty python, i and we know that the queen, having herself lived _ through the blitz, that was one step she was not prepared to take. - she was actually booed i in dresden 20 years ago because they expected her to make some reference to british bombing. she wouldn't do it. prince charles is going to do it, and that marks a change - of style, but always within i the carder of what the british government thinks is right. and finally, would the monarch also have a view on where he might visit next, where the next state visit should be, where he can next exert some influence if possible on a particularly important relationship between the uk and another country? well, i'm sure it's going to be i the commonwealth, if not the very next tour very shortly. the commonwealth was a great creation of his mother. - he's got to take it a stage further.

this is again in - the age after brexit. the commonwealth is a major aspect l of british soft power in the world. i now, just before we finish, i wanted to quickly mention that this is the last edition of outside source. we�*ve been going for, i think, nine years now, and from the start, we were trying to find new ways to distil and explain the news. we�*ve been trying ever since. i�*ll let you judge how we�*ve done, but that was the aim. and it�*s been a privilege to make the programme for you. i should say, this work is definitely going to carry on because while this programme�*s stopping, from next week, there will be a new bbc news channel, and i and many of the os team will be contributing to it. we�*re going to keep making our explainers, too, so we�*re not disappearing. but for outside source, time is up. and so, whether you�*re in the uk or elsewhere around the world, from all of us, many thanks for watching today and for watching over the years. bye— bye.

hello there. good evening. some sunny spells but also more wet weather in the forecast overnight tonight and tour the south where we�*ll see strong and gusty winds with storms toward the western facing coasts with the deep area of low pressure working northwards throughout the night and day tomorrow. tight squeeze on the isobars and strong winds with plenty of heavy rain with a localised wedding warnings in force. mild under the cloud and rank with the wind to the south and temperatures in double figures. for the north across much of scotland, clear skies and temperatures back to low single

figures perhaps here. some concern as to the strength of the wind tomorrow morning. early in the day friday some gusts of wind towards expose coastal areas of 50 or 60 and part of devon, cornwall, the channel islands, exposed headlands could see gusts up to 70 mph and the strongest winds transferring into kent and sussex further in the morning and then lightning. central to learn downpours of england with brightness and cold air coming in from the north sea, so here cold and cloudy particularly across eastern scotland. best of the sunshine shining west of scotland and eastern areas of northern ireland and feeling colder across the board with temperatures ticking between 9—13. set to keep that cool or feeling air over the wet weekend with wet times on saturday but drier on sunday. our area of low pressure is moving away and we begin to see high pressure building in as we had through the day and that will keep us largely dry was sunshine around. on

saturday, still trailing weather front and it�*s over northern ireland and down through parts of western wales and the southwest with outbreaks of rain here. cold feeling air coming in towards the eastern facing coasts cloudy and there will be drizzle for much of the day. temperatures peaking at only 8—11. as we had through sunday, the high pressure starts to dominate. still a lot of cloud across scotland and northern ireland and perhaps two or southwest england as well but elsewhere lots of sunshine developing with temperatures between nine and 12.

this is bbc news. we�*ll have the headlines and all the main stories for you at the top of the hour, straight after this programme. this week, get ready for blast—off. we�*re filming a hot—fire rocket test in super—slo—mo, and it will blow you away. whoo!

that went right through me!
