welcome to "outside source." in the u.s., there are still no results om the iowa caucus, where the first test to select a democratic cdidate descends into farce. britain orders british people to return immediately because of the coronavirus. t we will look ahow bad the crisis is as the who attempts to reassure people it is not th easy toatch. >> it is transmitted through droplets and unique close contact to be affected bands on the sales of petroard diesel and hydro cars to 2035. we will look at how feasible that is good and a first lady charged with the murder of a pre minister's wife after she handed herself int police. ros: what a farce in iowa. the democratic party failed em deliver a sy that did the most fundamental thing, count the votes. we should get the results in the next few hours, but webber wins, the democrats have lost something. iowa always kicks off, iowa always attracts the attention. it all went wrong for the democrats come with a faulty app being blamed. here is one funny official-party official. >-- here is onearty official. >> my main concern with the app is we do not have enough time to play with it. i never really downloaded the app on my phone. when my chairs were asking me questions, i had to go to e book. ros:he maker of his app has sent a number of tweets in the last hour or so committee saying we sincerely regret the delay 'n last night'caucuses and the uncertainty has caused. "this did not affect the undeying result state of it we work as quickly as possible overnight to resolve tue, and the idp has worked diligently to verify the sults." though we don't have the results yet, joe biden team has demanded relevant information involving quality control and the opportunity to respond before official results released. we have heard from some of the other caidat as well. sen. sanders: there is no excuse for not having results last night, but that is not mean to say that the troubles that comment will be inaccurate. sen. warren: when i left iowa i said it was too close to call and it is still is, but i feel good. sen. klobuchar: of course iwo uld like to see those numbers, but we will get them. there was a day when we didn't have apps and computers and they were able to get those numbers. ros: before some of the caucuses went wrong, 1700 people took part in the gatherings. some of them were high schools. everyone who voted had of a publicly, quitesu u--had to vote publicly, quite unusual. if hedded in the fact that the deadea a result by a coin toss, and the party cannot unt the votes in normal dime, americanemocracy has put on an idiosyncratic performance for the watching world. as you can imagine, voters a frustrated.>> it is frustratingi tsve to hold onto hope that we will get the res >> there are a lot of hands in the pot right now. it is getting convoluted probably. i'm sure it is going to be worked out sooner than later. too bad it is not as easy as just counting. ros: republicans were also voting in iowa. this went much more to plan. ey were voting in schools, churches, lots of different veeees. we did s heckle atr trump rally where donald trump, jr., and eric trump were gathered, but that was the only drama. for the record from these were his rels from a former massachusetts governor william weld and former illinois congressman joe walsh. th is not the story. the president knows that well. here he is calling the decratic caucus and unmitigated disaster. we saw historianevin kruse pointing out that in the 2012 iowa caucus it took two weeks to select the winner on the republican side. but that will not shield t democrats or iowa this time, because some resent iowa's influence ashe first state to vote for candidates. we saw this from the right- meaning "washington examiner." "snafu fuels calls to eliminate first in the nation status." tor you can look "l.a. iowa caucus is so white -- at hashtag being used. critics say he does not represent america and it should not have so much influence over who the democrats pick. nick bryant is in des moines. nick: things did not go tolan at all in iowa last night. saconfusion, a colsense of anti-climax. chaos on caucus night is the headline. watching all of the candidatesf basically deliver victory speeches can even know nobody was certain who had won. for what we had today and last night were the most explicit claims of victory came from yor pete, as he is called here, pete buttieg. he is trying to become the first openly gay president we have ever had in the white house. ashe does reckon he won. the w campaigld have had precinct captains and caucus captns at these events who have their ownigures, and their campaign reckons they have won. but the bernie sanders campaign in the last hour or so has put out numbers that put him on top with 60% of precincts reporting. ro we will find out in time. of course, we should have found out ready. while the democrats in iowa with their wins, the candidates are moving theirttention to the ate of new hampshire, which votes next week. most of the candidates are there, but senators will have to cut their trips short because they will have to be in washington, d.c., because president trump's impeachment trial may be approaching an end. through tuesy and wednesday, nators will have 10 minutes to explain their stance on the arges. let's hear from republican leader mcconnell. sen. mcconnell: we have indeed witnessed an abuse o power, a grave abuse of power by just the kind of house majority of the framers warned us about. this is the democrati leader in the senate, chuck schumer. sen. schumer: it is a serious charge. the republicans refused to t the evidence, because they were afraid of what it would sw. that is all that needs to be said. ros: the chance of mr. trump being removed from office is very close to zero, which gives him impetus in the state of the union address later on. jane o'brien is on capitol hill for that. jane: ts will be donald trump's third state of the union address, and all of them have form ofrouded by som dram the circumstances tonight will be extraordinary. donald trump will be standing in the very chamber where sev weeks ago they voted to impeach him on the eve of the vote in theene, where they are expected to acquit him. ilwhether hemention impeachment or not remains an open question. the white house says at the moment there are no plans, but this being donald trump, who knows what he mightnd up saying? the theme of this speech is the great american comeback, and he will be focusing on the economy, which is his strong point. he has strong jobs growth, record low unemployment, and hg will be talkout a strong america, america with strong border security and more protections for freedom of religion. against all that is the backdrop of impeachment. this is a president who will be broadcasting to the nation, an o audienmillions around the country, with that blot of impeachment right there. heand of coursill be using this platform to talk about the launch his own reelectionto campaign. ros: the coronavirus is causing world health organization has this message for us. >> people have the impression that the virus was in the air, and everybody go and there is this kind of a virus will be incted this is not the situation. currently the virus is transmitted through droplets come andonnique closect to be infected. --o you need" have infected. ros: the reaction to the virus habeen considerable. the media, including the bbc, has given extensive coverage. s but iteful to the scale of this in perspective, as american health journalist says come there had been 425 deaths from coronavirus l over the world. 10,000 americans have died from the flu this season. flu season has not even peaked. world we, we know that flu kills 6000 people at 600,000 people a year and there are 5 million cases each year. compare that to roughly 20,000 cases of coronavirus the moment. because of this virus, 22 countries have introduced trade or traverestrictns. here is the world health organization othat. >> such restrictions can have the effect of increasing fear and stigma with little public benefit. ros: here is what chi's representative has told the who. >> we believe overreaction by adopting restriction, isolation, are not beneficialo international collaboration, and ch errors may lead to more dcomplicautcome and interference on prevention and control efforts. ros: china very much remai under pressure on the story. taiwan has launched an extraordinary attack, accusing the chinese of failing to release up-to-date information. unreasonably pressuring i want on the international -- pressuring taiwan on the international stage. this basically is extremely vile. ros: there is history here. taiwan is not a who member because of china's objections. beijg considers it to be part of china. every disagreement between the two has to be listened to with that in mind. otr aspect of the store is the illegal wildlife trade in china. the politburo's standing committee, the top political leadership in china, has said it is necessary to strengthen market supervision, resolutely crn and severely ked down on illegal unlike markets and trade. we know that this is an issue because markets selling live animals are known to be a potential source of diseases that are new to humans. this virus started in wuhan. cuthere is stion that this market in the city may have been the origin of the virus. >> major international conservation organizations, what they are saying is china needs to cash in on this opportunity, the situation, and turn this temporary ban into a permanent one, because china is the biggest consumer of wildlife products legal and illegal. the basket under pressure imr quite somenow. back in 2003, when we had the sa outbreak, the chinese government did put a temporary banack then as well. but within a few months, the wildlife business came back b ad it winess as usual. ros: china'srs leap has already admitted shortcomings and deficiencies in response to the crisis for the that is a rare admission. the politburo standing committee has said that we must improve our national emergency management system and improve our abilities in handling urgent d dangerous tasks. we know that some warningse w ignored or silence. this doctor was working at would hand's--an ws central hospital. enhe noticed sases that looks like sars global epimic in 2003. he posted a warning about a potential out group with fellow medics. he was summoned byhe police and accused of making false statements that severely disturbed the social order, ands he was forced n this document, anthat document read -- well, most of it was written by the authorities, saying " solemnly warn you that if you continue this illegal activity, you will be brought to justice. is that" understoo to which the doctor replied, "yes, i do." no guidance was issued to protect doctors. then the doctor fell ill, but id was not until s later, the 20th of january, that chinage declared an emy. doctor had posted this picture online. he said, "finally diagnosed," cause he had the virus. let's talk to 70 hagerty, was been working on the story. >> so r so good.s? he has been able to text and social media. definitely not out of the with, but he is doing ok. ros: have there been sanctions for him sharinhis diagnosis? he has the comments to share this storyowards the end ofar ja and of he was disciplined by the local police, the central authority in beijing criticized the police for that move. that appears to have given him the confidence to start sharing his story, which is rite strange doctors in wuhan or doctors involved in this crisis. theirbe posts hav taken down and deleted. he says been up for four or 5 -- this has been out for four or five days now. ros: how easy has it been to communicate with thisoctor or any doctors in wuhan? >> it is not easy. it is an example of just how onwell china canol the narrative of the story, by deleting people'o's, going to people's houses and telling them to be quite. is an impressive control structure. ros: i wanted to what degree the changing nature of china's population and w i it lives, mothe countrysi, is impacting how china--more insidious and lessen the countryside from is impacting how china is responding to this crisis of the >. >> an estimate of 3 billion trips in 40 days. this happened while people were in the middle of celebrating chinese new year. one of the important things about locking it down was stopping people frometurning ros: is your said than done. >> and it is not just travel in china from trains and planes. we have seen people taking airplanes -- most of that growth is happening in china double, and most of the growth is happens:g in china. in a few minutes on "outside source," we will turn our attention to a new announcement from boris johnson. he wants to ban the sales of petrol, diesel, and hybricars by 2025. we look at how practical that is. ros: kenya has declared a period of national mourning following the death of the cngntry's t serving president. anne soy reports. anne: we have been very closely following the comments and messages from some of his former critics, some of the people that he had tortured from some of the people that were detained without trial. it has been veryo interesting see them thanking him, one, for handing over power peacefully in 2002 to his successor mwai kibaki, but also looking over his legacy. his legacy was sioong on educat his legacy is tainted by the torture that many people suffered. he was credited for introducing democracy. wn't voluntary. it took a lot of sacrifice and a lot ofin figfor some of the proponents of multiparty democracy before he finally agreed to change the constitution. ros: i am ros atkins with "outside source." our lead story is the u.k. government is advising 30,000 british people to leave china immediately the coronavirus crisis intensifies. main stories from bbc world service -- an australian senator was booed while speakingn a panel tv discussren on the bushrisis. the liberal party politician was speaking about climate change and cast doubt on whether it is caused by human activity. whe said he not relying on science for his views. boris johnson has announced that a ban on selling new petrol, diesel, or hybrid cars in the u.k. will be broughtrd to 2035 in the latest. it is part of the government's broader plan to be carbon neutral by 2050. here is the prime minister.ns prime min. j: we are the first major economy to make that commitment an it is the right thing to do. it is right proper that we should. we were the first to industrialize historic emissions of the u.k. we have a responsibility to our planet to lead in this way and to do this. ro this was an event that is part of the build up to a big u.n. climate conference in glasgow in november. there was one nable absentee. here is david shukman telling is the person unvited to the launch event is possibly the most talked about, sacked as thi summit last week. after being sacked, the formerr cabinet minis wrote a letter to the prime minister. sain it sh, "you had a vision for brexit and you got it done. we have less than 7000 hours before the start of cop26 for we have the chance to setio new global vfor climate recovery. please get this done, too." she wasn't done with that. ms. o'neill: he has admitted to me that he doesn't really unrstand it. >> he said that to you? ms. o'neill: yes at all sorts of things over the years. >> c he doesn't understamate change? ms. o'neill: he doesn't really get it is what he said. but others around him do. my to anybody to whom boriis making promises, ministers from employees, in the family members, is to get it in wting and make sure that money is in the bank. ros: the orinal policy was announced by theresaay in 2017 and the target date was 2014. that the tim bbc cover the story by noting that the clean-air strategies not enough, and talked to thperts who said people hold onto their cars for a decade or more. it was always going to make the carbon neutral target very hard to hit pit now boris johnson has changed two things, the deadline and the fact that hybrid cars will also be banned. that means people wiloonly be able buy full electric or hydrogen cars and vans, and just in pctical terms thawill be a huge challenge. >> if you look at the st year, it was 1.6% of all new car sales were battery-electric. we have got to go from 1.6% to 100% either electric or zero-emission, things like hydrogen fuel cells. it will be a challenge on the supply side. ros: sales of electric cars in thesi u.k. are incr exponentially, but only 25,000 new electric cars we registered in the u.k. in 2019. compare that with the figure in 2018 for all cars being edregist2.9 million, and almost all of them use petrol. even if the volume of electric cars were available, you'll need an awful lot of talking points energy companies scottish power estimates in the regio of 25 million talking points. here are the thoughts of david shukman on this issue. david: every single street with charging points, every shopping center, every major carpark, every motorway service stati. it is a huge escalation in what is required. points it just put the charging you have got to make sure that ables supplying adequate a huge effort. i mean, technically is it will -- technically feasit.e, but diffic ros: climate scientists are warning thadrastic action is needed now and we have heard the message many times. sir david and baroque was that sir david -- sir david attenborough was at the event. sir david: we don't nee to emphasize to them or to you that the longer we are not doing thgs, talking about the problems, the worse it is going to get. in end, unless we do something, it becomes insoluble. ros: there is much more coverage from the bbc as we work towards november and cop26 online from bbc news. we have to turn to southern africa and in extraordinary story in lesotho. firslady is charged with the murder of the prime minister's previous life. maesaiah thabane, seen with her huand, thomas thabane, turned yesterday.to a police this is one police poster that has been the run in january.on the prime minister has been and we know is estrangedling, wife, lipolelo thabane, was shot outside the capital two days before hisnauguration in 2017 shortly after the arrest warrant was issued, the bbc travel to the scene of the murder. >> 14th of june june in 2017 was driving home in the evening. her house was not far from heres but when got to around this point, for car was stopped by armed men. it's work, austin -- it swerved, lost control. they opened ficl and shot her e range. she died all must immediately. ros: more details on what has happened today. >> the current first lady of lesotho is somebody whoikes her fine clothing and somebody who many people in lesotho fee somewhat ambivalent towards if t indeed hostile. the previous wife of the prime minister was more humble. she preferred village life. they see this more flashy individual who has come on the scene and they think that she in some ways is trying to adopt too many trappings of power, almost to have influence in politics rather than being an obedient first lady. that has causesome fiction. but it is extraordinary, because she spending the night in police custody and is due to wednesday.urt tomorrow on ings have a very much turned around for her. ros: every day on "outside source" we try to bring you the biggest race found the world. we have covered issues from lesotho to china to the u.k. to the iowa caucus in america which has gone so badly wrong for the democratic party. much more coverage in context online at bbc.com/news, and if you don't have to bbc news app and you have a smart phone, you can downloadhawhenever you choose. i will
