News. Hello and immediate some paper and this is the newsroom from the b.b.c. World Service Michael doesn't give interviews very often but now the CIA director has told the b.b.c. That he expects Russia to try to interfere in the u.s. Midterm elections later this year and that his organization was taking steps to deter such attempts he also told a security correspondent Gordon Corera about the role he sees for the CIA There had come there had come this risk that the agency didn't understand that that's our core business we're we're the world's finest espionage service I'm incredibly proud of that we're going to go out there and do our damnedest to steal secrets. On behalf of the American people I wanted to get back on our front foot so I was messaging to the world and to our workforce that we were going to be in that place we have this tradition where we're now 70 years old as an agency and if we go back to our roots that's what we did but all the threats that you see over the horizon that worry you is the CIA director. Sure there are as technology advances our adversaries continue to advance their capabilities against America to steal our secrets back I worry very much about that I have put a real focus here on catarrh intelligence. So it's keeping the ability to steal secrets and keep your own secrets can't have anybody stealing the stuff we done stole as the way I think about it this is this is treasure the American people have given us resources to go collect and that officers that work for me have put themselves at rest to go obtain We have an obligation to protect it from someone else taking a back from us the CIA director Mike compel staying in Washington the deputy director of the f.b.i. Under McCabe who's been a frequent subject of criticism by President Trump has left his post early several weeks before he was due to retire recent reports that surface stating that President Trump wanted him to leave but the White House spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders denied that the White House had put any pressure on Mr McCabe to resign if you were the president has applied pressure to you is to make sure we get this resolved so that you guys and everyone else can focus on the things that Americans actually care about and that is making sure everybody gets the Russia fever out of their system once and for all that you're all reminded once again there was no collusion and that we can move forward to follow focus on things like national security the economy and solving the immigration crisis that we have here in our country from Washington here's all over Conway Yes not a complete surprise he's repeatedly come on the far from Donald Trump and other Republicans in Congress but the story still got everyone talking here in Washington under McCabe had been accused of political bias by the president Mr McCabe's wife ran for Democrats in 2015 in the Ginia And Mr Trump tweeted in December how can Andrew McCabe the man in charge of the phony Hillary Clinton investigation be given 700 $1000.00 for wife's campaign by quote Clinton puppets and then last year in a meeting at the Oval Office Donald Trump reportedly asked Mr McKay who was at the time the acting f.b.i. Chief who he voted for in the election so some skepticism for. Donald Trump was going to retire anyway in March so he's just going a bit early but overarching all this of course the Robert Muller Russia probe into alleged interference in the 2016 election Mr McCabe was involved in the f.b.i. Investigation on that So his departure is bound to keep it all in the headlines ahead of that state of the Union speech tomorrow that was all over Conway in Washington now to Germany where the government has sharply criticized the mission tests carried out on both monkeys and humans the experiments were commissioned by the Transport Research Group which is funded by 3 big car makers Volkswagen Daimler and b.m.w. The research on humans was carried out at the university clinic in the town of Aachen a spokesman insisted the tests that nothing to do with the v.w. Emissions gabble and were unconnected to the tests on monkeys with the details here's our correspondent in Berlin David McGinnis according to the university clinic in Auckland there's no connection between the test on the monkeys and a test on people so the 1st test was at this university clinic is back in 2013 when 25 people giving varying amounts of nitrogen dioxide to breathe then now this was for a couple of hours each time over a period of a month the other study was carried out later a year or 2 later in the us and this test monkeys were kept in airtight cages and were forced to inhale exhaust fumes coming from a v.w. Car now both of these tests are seen as very controversial here the 1st one because humans are involved the 2nd one because it's seen as so cruel but the motivation of each test is what's crucial here and according to the university clinic the test on humans was in fact a test to improve the environment in workplaces so when in certain jobs such as lorry drivers in those circumstances when people might have have a high incidence of n o 2 in the environments they want to test it those people are in danger so they gave them lower doses and they would ordinarily be given in order to. Work safety is for effectively that's what the clinic says the other study though it seems have been commissioned in order to clean up the reputation of v.w. Effectively by undermining a previous study which has said that emissions might be dangerous so so what's going to happen now is that in the investigation going forward it's crucial to find out what the motivation behind each of those studies were to see how problematic ethically they really were because of course in lots of industries you might have controlled environmental tests on humans like in the clinic or you might have quite cruel tests on animals but it depends really why the tests were carried out how problematic and long term they're going to be but by the way it is not good for these current reputations to be assessed so shaded with tests particularly this is seen as cruel to animals to McGinnis a move against the state deficit and against nepotism that's how the Argentine president Modise remarkably is presenting that his plan to government job cuts one of the key measures to be announced is the band of ministers employing close family members Well America's regional editor kind of spirit is with me in the studio kind of the family members decree as this come out of the blue Well it's now all over the Argentine papers you've got lists of names of family members of ministers who are likely to lose their jobs already the secretary of tourism. The son of the secretary tourism has gone and it's been a year of outcry over nepotism with senior members of the press revealing how the upper echelons of the government have been behaving why now. Well nepotism is everywhere in Argentina at all levels of government state local and national But President machree is seeking reelection next year and he has denounced corruption and clear until ism of part of other ministrations So he's probably want to get this message across now because of those elections and it may also be a bit of a deviating tactic Mr Mark has been losing popularity as he's been moving through his austerity program and also you may be trying to provide some answers to his accusations from his opponents that his own government has been lacing posts with familiars and lies is a challenge for you Will it work and will it last. He says he was lead by example he says he wants to learn save lots of money with with this the question remains there will this modernize the government of Argentina like lots of Latin American governments they don't have a professional civil service it might have been more interesting if you had legislation proper legislation not a decree and you had people employed as skills expertise and know how know how rather than relationships can disappear thank you listening to the news room from the b.b.c. World Service now Marion has some other stories from our news desk Konami and President Juan Manuel Santos says he suspended peace talks with the e l n following a series of bombings over the weekend that killed 7 police officers the attacks in northern Colombia where the latest in a series of intermittent killings and kidnappings by the l.n. Rebels since negotiations began a year ago. Scientists in Egypt have on earth a new species of dinosaur a dark low aces in the country's western desert the paleontologists from Mansoura University describe the long necked 4 legged dinosaur which lived 80000000 years ago as an incredible discovery because it sheds light on Africa's missing history of dinosaurs. The b.b.c. Has launched broadcasts in 3 languages for Ethiopia and Eritrea as part of the World Service His biggest expansion in 7 decades the programs in and Harakah fauna Romo and to Grenier will be available via shortwave satellite and online there are restrictions on the media in Ethiopia and Eritrea thanks very photographs of entity job activists making a rare public protests in Iran are getting a lot of attention on social media the women are pictured in downtown Tehran standing on what seems to be an electricity box holding a stick with a white headscarf hanging on it they're being hailed as heroes by many Iranians for protesting against the compulsory the job rule shutter Rush is part of the protest very sad women are being less fearful every day when they see others joining the campaign they feel empowered to show their objection to. Runaround in poor from our Persian Service told me how that many women are involved so far we know that it's at least 5 women at the beginning this morning when we saw the 1st one we thought Ok interesting but by the end of the day at least another 4 women have done the same thing which is rather inspiring specially because the 1st woman who did this at the end of December was arrested and she was only released about 2 days ago so these women know the consequences of taking off their her job getting involved in what seems like a political act and where were the pictures taken so one is in the log Square which translates into revolution and the headscarf is part of the Islamic revolution that happened 40 years ago so it makes it very ironic that women decided to go to that place and the rest where very close to the same area we also received a video from the city office for Han in the center of the country we are trying to verify that the Iranian authorities often will try to stop these things on social media as well what have they done what's been the reaction from the authorities have there been arrests we have what reports of at least one arrest but we haven't been able to verify that independently but it's not very easy to arrest these women it can only be a few seconds they get up there they stand there for for a minute or 2 have people take photos film them and they leave they're gone in many of the photos you don't see their faces but the fact that they're doing it standing on a podium has sent a massive message which has also been supported by many religious figures in the country they say we believe in Islam we want to cover our heads but it shouldn't be forced on other women to do so runaround him poor the German Jewish jazz musician Coco Schumann to survive some of the Nazis most notorious concentration camps has died at the age of 93 in one camp. As in start he was forced to play in a band known as the ghetto swingers later at Auschwitz he performed for newly arrived prisoners as they were sent off to forced labor Coco Schumann went on to enjoy a successful postwar career as a guitarist Nichiren's has been looking back at his life and music. Schumann and his post called Band playing a track he called Ghetto swingers you're beautiful to me. He began playing jazz in bird in clubs illegally because the Nazis considered it degenerate his mother was Jewish but he wasn't arrested until 1903 when he was deported to duration start and conscripted into the ghetto swing his band to perform for s.s. Officers wearing brand new dark suits they featured briefly in a propaganda film in 1904 designed to show how well Jews were being treated immediately after the filming The musicians were stripped of their suits and sent to Auschwitz where all but 3 perished Schuman survived because a guard who was charged with sorting out new arrivals recognized him from Bourbons jazz scene he played to the inmates and to the s.s. Hanged Man as they tattooed a new arrivals the human he later said is a peculiar creation unpredictable and merciless what we saw in those days was unbearable and yet we bore it for the sake of our survival we played music in hell for years he wouldn't speak about his experiences until persuaded that it was his duty to bear witness to a later generation after the war he went on playing with his own band and others and was one of the 1st German musicians to introduce the electric guitar he was still performing into his eighty's when he was recorded playing this in the bud Densher Hoff jazz club in Bergen. Nic I am on the life of Coco Schumann's that it is. Of 93 a reminder now of our main news the head of the CIA says he expects that Russia will try to interfere in the u.s. Mid-term elections later this year that's all from us you've been listening to the newsroom from the b.b.c. World Service with b. I mean you're somebody well small from the b.b.c. With Andy Power Well coming up in the next 10 minutes David Beckham's dream of owning a major league soccer team in the United States finally will be happening with the latest football transfer nice and Russia as a country will be banned from the been tapped Paralympics but 1st 4 years after David Beckham announced that he'd be the new owner of the Miami based soccer club the former England Manchester United realm a trait an l.a. Galaxy star is now ready to make that's a reality I was drawn to this city the same reason that millions of people our diversity the culture the weather the beaches the people. I will be honest it was very difficult tiles we sat back and said This is not going to happen this dream is not going to happen it's too difficult to harvest too many bumps in the road of finding a stadium has been a major problem that overcome that after trying and failing on 3 previous occasions back in is also confirmed he'll be building a state of the art academy to make sure that young players in the Miami area can be developed to form the bedrock of the new team but of course he believes he can use these contacts to bring in stars from outside the United States I know for over the last 4 years from the moment we announced that we were coming to Miami. I'm not going to say who called me but I had many phone calls from many different players talk layers saying I'm in. And yes we want to build a team and we want to bring great players from Europe and we want to bring top players from Europe but the thing that we're more interested in is the homegrown talent. Well Chris Poto played alongside back in for the l.a. Galaxy in the sense the former England skipper will make this new m.l.s. Franchise the 25th a big success if anyone can make something work David Beckham can anything. Ever seems to work and I think generally the public life whether you're male or female you like you get lucky because now it's a so I just think he's got all the attributes really question in the game of football to make the side work in America one of the most popular people in the world and most famous footballers x. Footballers can't make it work then I don't think anyone can I mean he's got the backing of a massive on tour always behind him a bit of a manager and his whereabouts and what's going on and inform him and aspace it's a bit daunting for him because it's something new but since when is that ever stopped I mean what every scorning see this new for me he's made a success of the Manchester 90 posture as a Marine you know says the club will create conditions to help Stratton Abraham a bitch leave if you wants to he's understand the former Swedish international striker he's close to completing a move to the m.l.s.

If if if if but if people want to leave I'm happy I'm happy for them to leave will help them well tell me something last year he said more or less exactly the same about Memphis to Pi he said more or less exactly the same about Morgan Schneiderlin and later on he said more or less the same about bustin Schweinsteiger and the interesting thing about those 3 they all ended up leaving the club in Schweinsteiger who also went to Major League Soccer with Chicago fire he didn't go before the end of January deadline he went in March will often stop the men with Abraham of it choose well West Bromwich Albion are based in their Premier League rivals Newcastle United to the lone signing Liverpool's England inter
