Hello, I'm Ros Atkins, this is Outside Source.

:00:07.:00:09.

the Islamic State group continues to target Baghdad.

:00:10.:00:15.

There were at least three bomb attacks today and IS

:00:16.:00:17.

31 athletes face being banned from the Rio Olympics,

:00:18.:00:24.

after samples from the Beijing Games were retested.

:00:25.:00:31.

Big story in the UK is about planned changes at the BBC in. Particular

:00:32.:00:38.

the announcement that the BBC will close one of its food websites.

:00:39.:00:42.

We'll go back to Canada to update you on the wildfires. They continue

:00:43.:00:47.

to drive people from their homes. 12,000 oil workers are the latest to

:00:48.:00:55.

be asked to go We're not only live on the TV, you

:00:56.:00:58.

can get to me online. A wave of bombs have

:00:59.:01:14.

targeted Baghdad. The first and deadliest attack hit

:01:15.:01:17.

a market in the mainly Shia Muslim Shortly afterwards, another market

:01:18.:01:27.

was struck in a mixed Shia-Sunni Then there were more

:01:28.:01:35.

explosions in Sadr City, The Islamic State group

:01:36.:01:42.

has claimed the first but made no reference

:01:43.:01:50.

to the others. The first and most dead lay tack hit

:01:51.:02:05.

a crowded -- deadly attack hit a crowded street market in a densely

:02:06.:02:11.

Shia populated area. Rea. So-called Islamic State says a suicide bomber

:02:12.:02:17.

blew himself up here. It's claimed the attack was aimed at Shia

:02:18.:02:25.

militiamen. This survivor said he rescueder a -- under a table. There

:02:26.:02:29.

was much anger at the random nature of the attack.

:02:30.:02:34.

TRANSLATION: The explosion here killed a woman, her brother and her

:02:35.:02:38.

niece, as well as other people, who just came here to shop. What crime

:02:39.:02:41.

have these innocent people committed? Across town on the east

:02:42.:02:48.

side of Baghdad, there was anger too in the sprawling Shia suburb called

:02:49.:02:53.

Sadr City. This was the aftermath of a suicide car bomb explosion, which

:02:54.:02:57.

took many lives. Sadr City has frequently been the target of such

:02:58.:03:01.

provocative attacks by the Sunni militants. Another suicide bomber

:03:02.:03:04.

struck shortly after this attack nearby.

:03:05.:03:08.

TRANSLATION: This is II blast in Sadr. One is here and the other

:03:09.:03:12.

outside a restaurant elsewhere in the city. We are fed up with this

:03:13.:03:18.

violence. With bombs going off in streets like this virtually every

:03:19.:03:22.

single day. The Iraqi authorities and Western coalition say they

:03:23.:03:25.

believe it's because the militants are losing so much ground on the

:03:26.:03:28.

battlefield. They say they've lost nearly half the territory they

:03:29.:03:31.

controlled at the height of their expansion nearly two years ago.

:03:32.:03:36.

That's little consolation for the survivors of these increasingly

:03:37.:03:40.

frequent bomb attacks in Baghdad and for the friends and families of

:03:41.:03:45.

those who died. There's mounting anger here, not just against the

:03:46.:03:50.

militants who did it, but against the country's feuding politicians

:03:51.:03:51.

for failing to protect the public. While IS is carrying

:03:52.:03:54.

out attacks in Iraq, in Syria next door it is part

:03:55.:03:56.

of an impossibly complex conflict. And once again, foreign ministers

:03:57.:04:01.

are meeting in Vienna You can see them round the table

:04:02.:04:16.

there, that's Sergey Lavrov of Russia and John Kerry of the US.

:04:17.:04:19.

We got a commitment to reinforce a ceasefire and push

:04:20.:04:22.

through aid deliveries, but on the fundamentals,

:04:23.:04:24.

there was nothing significant that you argue will change the course

:04:25.:04:27.

of a war, that is five years old that has killed more

:04:28.:04:30.

US Secretary of State, John Kerry, spoke a while ago.

:04:31.:04:44.

The chal epg that we face now is to transform these possibilities into

:04:45.:04:53.

the reality of an agreement at some point. And because of the gains that

:04:54.:05:05.

we've made in recent months, yet because of their fragility, and we

:05:06.:05:09.

acknowledge they're fragile, and increasingly threatened by

:05:10.:05:12.

irresponsible and dangerous actions taken by those who would rather have

:05:13.:05:20.

this effort fail, who want to create problems, rather than solutions.

:05:21.:05:24.

They seek a different outcome. There are actors on both sides. One city

:05:25.:05:31.

which still sees both sides of the conflict is Aleppo. Damascus is the

:05:32.:05:36.

capital of Syria. Aleppo is the biggest city in the country.

:05:37.:05:38.

Years of conflict mean hundreds of thousands have left,

:05:39.:05:40.

thousands have died and whole areas in the city are largely destroyed.

:05:41.:05:43.

But one man in the rebel-held district has refused

:05:44.:05:46.

#1u A number of you are sending questions in using the BBC OS

:05:47.:07:46.

hashtag. One asking about the tests with the Olympics. We're expecting

:07:47.:07:49.

the bans of these athletes. We'll get into that in detail in a few

:07:50.:07:54.

minutes. How long can a sample be kept and still be tested? The answer

:07:55.:07:58.

is ten years. They can go back ten years but not longer. More details

:07:59.:07:59.

on that story in OS sport. The wildfires in Canada

:08:00.:08:07.

continue to drive In the last two weeks,

:08:08.:08:09.

80,000 people have had to leave We thought the fires were easing.

:08:10.:08:14.

We're getting details now that This time, it is 12,000 oil

:08:15.:08:24.

workers living to its north We know the evacuation zone

:08:25.:08:37.

stretches 50 kilometres north of Fort McMurray up to fort Mackay

:08:38.:08:41.

Already 19 oil facilities - mostly in this area -

:08:42.:08:43.

These facilities are working on oil sands.

:08:44.:08:49.

These are a mixture of sand, water, clay and a thick,

:08:50.:08:52.

Canada has the third largest oil reserves in the world

:08:53.:09:02.

And 95% of Canada's oil is in this area.

:09:03.:09:07.

The Alberta oil sands produced about 2.3 million

:09:08.:09:11.

Looking at all of this, here's Richard Galpin's report.

:09:12.:09:28.

This video of huge plumes of smoke rising up in the sky near fort

:09:29.:09:35.

McMurray was filmed by a passenger heading north to the oil sands.

:09:36.:09:42.

That's why the oil workers are being evacuated in their thousands. The

:09:43.:09:47.

fires have been moving at up to 40 metres a minute towards the oil

:09:48.:09:52.

installations which have shut down operations. It's two weeks since the

:09:53.:10:00.

province of Alberta became the focus of attention, wildfire sweeping

:10:01.:10:03.

through the town of fort McMurray. After a brief respite, the fires are

:10:04.:10:08.

threatening the area again, particularly up to fort Mackay,

:10:09.:10:12.

where big oil companies are operating. In fort McMurray itself

:10:13.:10:18.

repair work has been under way so some of the population can return,

:10:19.:10:24.

but now those plans are likely to be delayed.

:10:25.:10:30.

Now I'm getting a number of questions from you about these BBC

:10:31.:10:33.

recipes, which have been at the centre of one of the most talked

:10:34.:10:36.

about stories of the day here in the UK. To bring you up to date, more

:10:37.:10:41.

than 100,000 people now have signed an online petition protesting at

:10:42.:10:45.

plans to close the BBC Food website. This closure is part of a broader

:10:46.:10:52.

BBC cost-cutting exercise Among other savings for instance the the

:10:53.:10:57.

corporation has announced whether it should merge the BBC News channel

:10:58.:11:01.

and BBC World News, those of you outside the UK are watching me

:11:02.:11:05.

there. A few questions about the how the recipes work. Let me play this

:11:06.:11:11.

report from David Sillito. If he doesn't answer your questions, send

:11:12.:11:14.

more to me. I will do my best to get you an answer.

:11:15.:11:18.

Three bakers, three final challenges. 13 million watched this,

:11:19.:11:24.

food is a prime time ratings winner. If you want to join in and cook at

:11:25.:11:29.

home, for many, it now begins with a search. Whatever I get, it will be

:11:30.:11:35.

online. I rarely use recipe books. I've persuaded my mother to throw

:11:36.:11:39.

hers away. If I do home cooking, I often use a BBC recipe. It's one of

:11:40.:11:43.

the first ones in a Google search. They are clear. They're

:11:44.:11:46.

straightforward. They always work. They have people's reviews. You know

:11:47.:11:53.

you're onto a good thing actually. Bake Off Rick Stein, nigella, they

:11:54.:11:57.

all produce online recipes, more tan 11,000. More tan 3,000 pies, Guinea

:11:58.:12:02.

foul alone has 23 recipes. If you tap in say Yorkshire pudding, it's

:12:03.:12:07.

almost always the BBC recipe that's at the top of the search page.

:12:08.:12:11.

However, thousands of these recipes will soon disappear from those

:12:12.:12:14.

online searches. BBC krn food is being closed. The pages will become

:12:15.:12:21.

harder and harder to find. However BBC good food, another website run

:12:22.:12:24.

bit BBC's commercial arm will carry on. It may take on some of the old

:12:25.:12:30.

BBC food recipes. For a famous chef, such as Ken Hom the BBC is simply an

:12:31.:12:37.

essential part of the food business. A lot of people, like myself,

:12:38.:12:43.

started with the BBC 32 years ago. The BBC more or less made my clear.

:12:44.:12:50.

It's nice to have my recipes on that website, simply because it helps

:12:51.:12:56.

people who maybe are not going to buy the book right away or don't

:12:57.:12:59.

have the money. But it's not just food. The News Channel may merge

:13:00.:13:03.

with BBC World News. News presenters' pay is under review,

:13:04.:13:08.

websites are being dropped. Many, especially the papers, want a

:13:09.:13:12.

smaller BBC. And this evening, the BBC has now said that following the

:13:13.:13:17.

uproar, they will accelerate the transfer of content to BBC Good

:13:18.:13:25.

Food. Your recipes will not be lost. That will come as a relief to some

:13:26.:13:29.

of you. Ian is asking, the BBC doesn't seem to be explaining how it

:13:30.:13:33.

will save ?15 million by getting rid of food recipes. Some of those

:13:34.:13:38.

recipes aren't being got rid of, but also the ?15 million figure refers

:13:39.:13:42.

to a range of cuts being made to the BBC's online services, for instance

:13:43.:13:47.

the BBC News beat app and website is being brought under the main BBC

:13:48.:13:51.

News app and BBC News website. There are various things being done. That

:13:52.:13:54.

all adds up to the 15 million figure. It doesn't just apply to

:13:55.:13:59.

removing a few recipes from a website.

:14:00.:14:04.

Now OS business in a moment. Among the stories we'll pick up, we will

:14:05.:14:09.

play this report about the growth of classic cars as an investment

:14:10.:14:12.

market. We'll explain more in a moment.

:14:13.:14:28.

Theresa May has been addressing the police force in England and Wales.

:14:29.:14:41.

An inquest jury found that the 96 victims of the Hillsborough disaster

:14:42.:14:45.

were unlawfully killed. The Home Secretary said it should be the

:14:46.:14:49.

touch stone for everything they do. Justice, it's what you deal in. It

:14:50.:14:57.

is your business. And you, the police, are its custodians. We must

:14:58.:15:04.

never underestimate how the poison of decades-old misdeeds seeps down

:15:05.:15:08.

through the years and is just as toxic today as it was then. That's

:15:09.:15:15.

why difficult truths, however unpalatable they may be, must be

:15:16.:15:16.

confronted head on. Welcome back to Outside Source. More

:15:17.:15:30.

of your questions coming in. I'll get into those in a moment. The lead

:15:31.:15:35.

story here in the newsroom is from Baghdad. It's been hit by another

:15:36.:15:38.

wave of bombings for the second time in a week. More than 60 people are

:15:39.:15:42.

known to have died. Let's bring you some of the main stories from BBC

:15:43.:15:48.

World Service as well. First of all, this reports on floods and land

:15:49.:15:52.

slides in Sri Lanka. At least 11 people have died. Over 100,000

:15:53.:15:55.

people have had to leave their homes. The armed forces are trying

:15:56.:16:00.

to prevent the flooding of the Sri Lankan Parliament.

:16:01.:16:02.

This is something in the South African Parliament earlier, that's a

:16:03.:16:06.

fight breaking out between security officers and some opposition MPs,

:16:07.:16:16.

who had tried to stop the president, Jacob Zuma from speak being.

:16:17.:16:20.

Today we have the world's biggest cruise ship. It's coming in to dock

:16:21.:16:24.

in Southampton, on the south coast of England. It's over 300 metres

:16:25.:16:28.

long and carries nearly 7,000 passengers. You can see these

:16:29.:16:29.

pictures on the BBC News app. Next to hang Kong. The Chinese

:16:30.:16:39.

Government's man in charge of Hong Kong affairs is making a visit

:16:40.:16:40.

there. It's significant because Zhang

:16:41.:16:48.

Dejiang is the highest ranking official from China to go

:16:49.:16:50.

to the territory since protests They were pro-democracy but also

:16:51.:16:52.

anti the Chinese government. Ahead of the visit, this banner

:16:53.:16:55.

calling for universal suffrage was unveiled,

:16:56.:16:58.

but quickly removed. And police wrestled the head

:16:59.:17:00.

of an opposition political party to the ground,

:17:01.:17:04.

as he tried to enter Demonstrators in the middle of the

:17:05.:17:30.

crowd were organised by the pro-democracy league of social

:17:31.:17:33.

Democrats political party. They are trying to get to that building, the

:17:34.:17:39.

government house, where the visiting Chinese dignitary is meeting his

:17:40.:17:44.

hosts, the chief executive of Hong Kong and other local leaders, but

:17:45.:17:50.

the demonstrators have really no way of making it up there. They're

:17:51.:17:55.

surrounded on all sides by police. There are about 100 police officers,

:17:56.:18:00.

outnumbering the demonstrators. In fact, over the next three days,

:18:01.:18:08.

6,000 officers will be on patrol as part of what they describe as an

:18:09.:18:14.

unprecedented security operation. Drones have been banned in some

:18:15.:18:19.

areas, even pavement stones have been reinforced onto the pavement to

:18:20.:18:25.

prevent anyone picking them up and hurling them at the visiting Chinese

:18:26.:18:30.

official and his entourage. These demonstrators have criticised the

:18:31.:18:33.

security arrangements, saying that they believe it should be their

:18:34.:18:39.

right to get close to him to present their demands for greater democratic

:18:40.:18:42.

rights for Hong Kong. We've heard from Hong Kong, from the

:18:43.:18:47.

UK, from Iraq. Let's get you a story from France. Lorry drivers have put

:18:48.:18:51.

up road blocks around several major cities. Riot police have fired tear

:18:52.:18:57.

gas. 75 people have been arrested. The protesters are unhappy about new

:18:58.:19:00.

labour laws and they're doubly unhappy about the way the president

:19:01.:19:04.

got these laws through without a vote in the lower House of

:19:05.:19:09.

Parliament. The essence of this law is pretty

:19:10.:19:14.

mild. A lot of it has already been gutted in I way by the government in

:19:15.:19:19.

the face of the first round of protest. It will broadly give some

:19:20.:19:26.

powers to individual companies to negotiate more freely with their

:19:27.:19:29.

workforce and not be overridden by unions at the kind of sectorial

:19:30.:19:34.

level. That is welcomed by business owners. I don't think anyone can

:19:35.:19:38.

pretend or begin to pretend this law is a fundamental rewriting of the

:19:39.:19:42.

labour code, which everyone would seem to agree is the root of the

:19:43.:19:49.

problem, the need for more flexible labour code seen by liberal

:19:50.:19:52.

eeconomists as being the root of the problem, the need to make it much

:19:53.:19:57.

more easy to hire and fire and thus reduce unemployment.

:19:58.:20:00.

This isn't the end of the process. The lorry drivers today. Tomorrow

:20:01.:20:05.

rail workers are expected to strike. On Thursday, air traffic controllers

:20:06.:20:10.

are expected to join in. No doubt Hugh will keep us posted.

:20:11.:20:14.

A tweet from the people's daily in China telling us that the world's

:20:15.:20:19.

biggest bank, if you measure by assets, is buying a massive vault in

:20:20.:20:24.

London. This is the ICBC. It's bought a 2,000-ton gold vault from

:20:25.:20:29.

Barclays. There's the bank itself. I can't sho you a picture of the vault

:20:30.:20:35.

because the location is secret. This is the industrial and commercial

:20:36.:20:40.

bank of China. It will be the first Chinese lender to own a vault in

:20:41.:20:46.

London. It can hold up to 2,000 metric tons of gold, silver and

:20:47.:20:51.

platinum. Let's move on to talk about classic

:20:52.:20:57.

cars. We've learned today they were the best performing collectible

:20:58.:21:01.

investment in 2015. So by that I mean you've got more back for your

:21:02.:21:05.

money than if you'd bought art, wine or diepds. In fact, according to one

:21:06.:21:11.

report the value of classic cars rose 17% just last year. We met one

:21:12.:21:21.

investigator. -- investor. From this 1929 Rolls

:21:22.:21:31.

Royce, to one owned by John Lennon. There's a special showroom for these

:21:32.:21:36.

vintage cars in Malaysia. How do you decide you're going to buy

:21:37.:21:39.

something? Do you assess the value of the car before you buy it? I look

:21:40.:21:46.

at the cars that has been investment, and I buy the cars that

:21:47.:21:52.

are collectors and what people around the world appreciate keeping.

:21:53.:21:57.

But most of the time, it's just the shape of it and the beauty of the

:21:58.:22:01.

car that always gets me going. If you're thinking of investing in one

:22:02.:22:05.

of these classic cars, you can take heart in the fact that over a

:22:06.:22:09.

ten-year period can you make nearly twice as much on cars like these

:22:10.:22:14.

than over collectibles like art or wine. But as with any investment,

:22:15.:22:20.

you've got to be careful. Before you walk into the showroom, do your home

:22:21.:22:25.

work. Find out about that specific car, the chassis number, the history

:22:26.:22:30.

of that car. If you can speak to the previous owners, see if it's

:22:31.:22:33.

participated in events, whatever you do, don't walk into a showroom and

:22:34.:22:39.

buy a car off a whim. Fine tuning one of these cars also needs to be

:22:40.:22:43.

factored in. The cost of routine repairs can run into thousands of

:22:44.:22:49.

dollars. But it's not bringing his interest in the cars to a streeching

:22:50.:22:54.

halt. He like many other collectors seem content to burn through a lot

:22:55.:22:58.

of cash to fuel their passions, even if it doesn't always drive up

:22:59.:23:07.

returns. Next a new report about a push in some South African schools

:23:08.:23:10.

for paperless classrooms. The kids are given tablet computers

:23:11.:23:15.

to achieve this. The problem is that

:23:16.:23:17.

criminals have noticed. South African schools going digital.

:23:18.:23:30.

Each student given a tablet. It's all part of Johannesburg's paperless

:23:31.:23:34.

classroom project. This initiative is being rolled out in communities

:23:35.:23:39.

where the majority of young people have little or no digital

:23:40.:23:46.

experience. Students navigate their way through programs connected to

:23:47.:23:51.

the teacher's interactive board. The big switch from chalk boards to

:23:52.:23:54.

computer gadgets was only introduced a few months ago, but it has already

:23:55.:24:01.

benefitted thousands of students. Our investment in education in poor

:24:02.:24:04.

areas is just to make sure that we give poor people a second chance in

:24:05.:24:11.

life. You can see a homeless parent who says I will remain homeless as

:24:12.:24:15.

long as my child has quality education. We are the last

:24:16.:24:19.

generation that will survive without technology. The generation coming

:24:20.:24:24.

will need technology, why not prepare them now. This puts these

:24:25.:24:31.

students on equal footing with peers when they enter later education.

:24:32.:24:36.

This is very much important. Because now I am able to use a computer, I

:24:37.:24:41.

don't have it at home. It has given me that courage to say that I am a

:24:42.:24:48.

proud South African. For some the transition may take some time

:24:49.:24:55.

getting used. To With the technological upgrades comes the

:24:56.:24:58.

challenge of security. Schools are fast becoming hot spots for thieves.
