BBCNEWS Outside Source June 27, 2017

It isa outside source by showing you this. It is a Statement Released by the white house on syria. In this statement, you will find the white house saying that Bashar Al Assad is, if he conducts another chemical weapons attack he and his military will pay a heavy price. The use of the word another is significant, thatis the word another is significant, that is a reference to a Chemical Attack which took place in april in syria. Over 80 people lost their lives in an attack in a town called khan sheikhoun. The us blamed syria, the Syrian Government denied it. The reason for the new us date admit is that The Americans believe that the airbase used in the april attack, there is activity there that looks similarto there is activity there that looks similar to what they saw in april. Our washington correspondent jayne brya nt Our Washington Correspondent Jayne Bryant has been talking about this airbase in particular jayne bryant. The americans bombed this airbase after the attack in april, is it still usable . This was one of the criticisms of their Retallick Retreat Action in april, bombing and airport doesnt do much good, you just have to resurface it and planes can just have to resurface it and planes ca n fly just have to resurface it and planes can fly again. There may be some truth to that, that we are now seeing. It is certainly extraordinary that the us would issue such a public warning. These warnings often take place behind closed was all through back channels. To make such a public warning put syria on notice, if it does do Something Like this again, action will follow. Also it is putting iran and russia on notice. Without Russian Support in particular, syria would not be where it is right now. It also seemed for an hourortwo to it is right now. It also seemed for an hour or two to be putting the pentagon on notice. There are numerous reports saying the pentagon was catching up on this when the white house but this statement out up white house but this statement out up to the white house very quickly but after other statement saying that all of those Anonymous Sources saying they hadnt conferred with the relevant agencies were not true. The white house expected the state department, the pentagon, the cia and the office of the director of international intelligence, all of the relevant organisations knew what the relevant organisations knew what the white house was up to. Nevertheless, it is still a remarkable statement being made so publicly, as it was by the white house. A follow up statement from the pentagon and also from the Us Ambassador to the un, nikki haley, who also made her own remarks. Nikki haley is the Us Ambassador to the un. Here she is on twitter saying. The russians, for their part, say they consider such threats from The Americans to the legitimate leadership of the Syrian Arab Republic unacceptable. So far, so predictable. The russians on The Americans always disagree on the Bashar Al Assad regime. But there is something greater going on here related to the pressure on the so called Islamic State group. Lets get the analysis of our defence and diplomatic respondent jonathan marcus. I think it is. This is if you like the next war, the next major battle that is coming. You have two was going on at the moment in syria, many sub conflicts, but two broad struggles. One between the us and its allies and so called Islamic State. The other between the Syrian Government and its allies, russia and iran, against a whole variety of other groups and many of the syrian people. What is happening in Eastern Syria at the moment is that as is is on the back foot as forces close in on raqqa, the de fa cto forces close in on raqqa, the de facto capital of is, there is every sign that it will fall eventually although we dont know when, the question is, who will control that oratory wa nts question is, who will control that Oratory Wants is is in that sense defeated . The Oratory Wants is is in that sense defeated . The battle Oratory Wants is is in that sense defeated . The battle is already on. The americans would like the so called Syrian Democratic forces, their allies, to control that directory. The Syrian Government is pushing a number of axes eastwards. They would like to control it. And the iranians are a key element in the iranians are a key element in the mix here, because iran would like to control a swathe of territory straddling the syrian iraqi border, which some people say would effectively give iraq a land bridge all the way from teheran to the mediterranean would eventually give iran. You could literally build a road from tehran to the mediterranean sea. That is a huge strategic importance, something that many of the white house and washington dont want to see. I think that is part of it. It may be, we dont know what The Americans have seen at this airbase, they may simply be trying, as they say, to thwart another syrian Chemical Attack. But a subplot in all of this, and an important one, is this growing struggle with iran or iranian backed forces and us backed forces coming ever closer together. I guess with this statement, the white house is to some Degree Boxing itself in. If there were a Chemical Attack, which International Bodies decided the abbas regime were behind, the us would have to respond the assad regime. Behind, the us would have to respond the assad regime. One would assume the syrians wouldnt be fullish enough to launch such an attack foolish enough. You made another point moment ago, the last attack by The Americans, although it sounds significant, some 59 Cruise Missiles were launched against this airbase, a Cruise Missile is essentially a single large bomb. It isa essentially a single large bomb. It is a major in military terms. It did relatively limited damage. Clearly the base is still usable, if we are to believe, not so much in terms of taking out the runways, because they didnt try and do that, but usable in terms of having the facilities, the very special storage facilities, enabling you to store chemical weapons, load them onto when epcor k carefully a nd weapons, load them onto when epcor k carefully and so on. Lived them onto an aircraft carefully. Win we are covering syria, if you want background on the conflict there, you can find it via the bbc news website. Outside source sport, fifa have released a full copy of a report into alleged corruption relating to qatars successful 2022 world cup bid. The thaw have had its hand forced. A german newspaper has released extracts from this report. The whole thing was done in 2014. The whole thing was done in 2014. The foe only published a summary of this. Even that caused problems. The authors report, michael garcia, quit, because hes said the summary was erroneous or not really a summary. Sarah is live from the bbc sports centre. Saira, we have been waiting long enough to get this report. What is in it . Indeed, we have been waiting three years, as have been waiting three years, as have fifas critics, for this full report. A40 dupage summary back in 2014 of michael garcias work into the Bidding Process or 2018 and 2022, the world cups. And now we have a 422 pages released today by fifa on the back of that leaking to the german newspaper. Basically it doesnt appear to be the smoking gun that some may have predicted. Michael garcia, in his, you know, work with it, he was denied access toa work with it, he was denied access to a lot of bank account statements, he had no sabina park, so there was a sense that whilst a lot of the stuff that came out cleared them subpoena power. It clear russia in their Bidding Process, there may not be an awful lot more. That is what has kind of been proved today from this. Gianni infantino said they a lwa ys this. Gianni infantino said they always intended to release this document. But that Ethics Committee over the last year or so was said that there may be legal issues around that. It was due to come up ata around that. It was due to come up at a meeting in the next month or so, and Gianni Infantino said he is happy today for the sake of transparency that they have been released. It doesnt appear to be the smoking gun that some fifa critics thought it would be, but it high rowett is the culture of greed that many had expected, it highlights the culture of greed. It raises the questions of the Guitar Academy influencing votes. There are criticism of the english fa and the trading deal with thailand. And also some criticism of australia as well.

This time yesterday we were talking aboutjeans comments that Serena Williams would be ranked 700 in the world if she played on the mens tour. It was unclear what decent buoyed thought he was making. Serena has had plenty to say on this. She has taken to twitter to say. She goes on to say. And that, i suspect, will be the end of the matter. I want to update you ona of the matter. I want to update you on a couple of Sports Stories we are getting newswires. The under 21 is mens european championships. England have gone out in the semifinals. They lost on penalties against the germans. In the cricket world cup, we are still in the group stage, the womens cricket world cup. England beat pakistan, a great victory. It was affected by the weather. The english took that game. Coverage on the bbc sport app. In a few minutes outside source, we are going to look at new research on how people in the world view donald trump. 40,000 people in 37 countries have been quizzed. Not all of them we re have been quizzed. Not all of them were complimentary. Now, 50 years ago today, the very first Cash Machine Spat out its first Cash Machine Spat out its first fivers. How have they changed in the last 50 years . Heres simon gopperth. 1967, a revolution. The first money from a hole in the wall. You put in a voucher and a code and you got ten £1 notes. Reg varney, a tv celebrity of the time, had a go and the cash machine was born. And this is what weve come to. Less a cash machine than a mini bank. On these ones, you can even open a bank account. Signing your name, it will take my photo as welljust to prove that its me. You can see and talk to bank staff directly on the screen and take out money with your mobile phone. You dont need your card. We are light years ahead of 50 years ago. Is this the sort of banking we actually want . Doing banking on Mobile Phones and laptops, why do i need to do it at cash machine . Youre not the only user. There are other uses. Dont think of it like a machine. Its a piece of real estate. What you can do with a kiosk with a real estate that is expensive. What can you do to increase thinking at that real estate . Wedding . By the time i get there it will be a christening its a piece of real estate that changed our lives. You didnt have to worry about the banks being open. Now cash itself is under threat from Contactless Cards and smartphones. The bank of englands chief cashier, who signs our banknotes, agrees the cash machine has to do other things. Some people like the plain vanilla bits they can get. Other people will be looking for the wiz bits. Some want to trade in shares on a cash machine. Some people will be striving for more to get more from the machine. If you can have a one stop shop, brilliant. Atms atms of the future, smart atms as we are calling them, will provide 99 of all of the services we can get from Bank Branches today. That is not a world everyone will welcome but the technology unleashed back in the 60s is still transforming the way we bank half a century later. Simon gompertz, bbc news. Hello, im ros atkins with outside source, live at the bbc newsroom. India as well across europe and in india as well saying they affected too. Now, as weve discussed many times an outside source, Donald Trumps Approval Ratings are low in the us. Globally it doesnt seem that the picture is much better. A Research Centre has interviewed no less than 40,000 people in 37 countries to find out what they thought of the new american president. Katty kay is looking through the results. Donald trump travels like an american president and has the power of an american president. What he doesnt seem to have is the worlds respect. According to the nonpartisan Research Centre, only 22 of People Survey did that seven countries have confidence that mr trump will do the right thing for the world. 64 felt the same about president obama when he left office. Its not even close. Impaired to follow World Leaders, mr trump comes last in terms of Global Confidence gocompare. He falls behind germanys angela merkel, chinese president ge and even vladimir putin. But it is personal and part of it is policy. Lets start with the politics. Of three of his major initiatives, more than 70 of those survey disapproved. Those it include withdrawing from climate initiatives, trade deals and building that famous wall. Then there is the personal. Three quarters of those survey and found him arrogant. For them 60 think he is in tolerant, even dangerous. On the upside, more than half described him asa the upside, more than half described him as a strong leader. And quite a few found him charismatic. But then there is the broader question. Do his american supporters care about a year of this . Perhaps it is exactly what America First is all about not minding what the well being is about you. For them, this poll could bea about you. For them, this poll could be a validation that President Trump is getting it exactly right. Lets bring in Rajini Vaidyanathan offering live from washington. You have spent a lot of time in the last two years reporting On Parts Of America where mr trump is popular. Watching that report, mr trump and his supporters will not care less about this . You are absolutely right on that. I was at a rally that President Trump held last week in iowa. Certainly the message from the president during that rally was his focus on putting America First. He said after decades of building foreign nations, we are now rebuilding our nation. Do some extent, throughout the campaign and even last week, President Trump was reinforcing the notion that perhaps globalisation isnt a great thing. Weve seen in the last few months President Trump criticised the london mayor, apparently refusing to shake the hand of angela merkel. At a summit recently he appeared to push through to the front of a group of World Leaders who were walking. He doesnt particularly care. Of course, Around The World, those actions have drawn scorn. We have seen that when we look at the results of the survey. For the supporters that i have been speaking to throw the campaign, they really dont care, because they dont see him asa dont care, because they dont see him as a politician as such, he is a d
