The hello, I'm Philippa Thomas and this is outside source. An

:00:12.:00:17.

earthquake in Italy has killed at least 120 people with many thought

:00:18.:00:21.

to be trapped under the rubble. We will hear from our reporter at the

:00:22.:00:25.

scene as rescue efforts continue into the night. Right now they are

:00:26.:00:31.

bringing out someone on a stretcher. Is she alive? It looks like she is

:00:32.:00:39.

which will be a huge relief to the workers here. Turkish tanks have

:00:40.:00:43.

crossed into Syria for only the second time since Syria's war began,

:00:44.:00:47.

they helped take a border town from the so-called Islamic State but that

:00:48.:00:51.

was not their only mission as we will explain. The longest aircraft

:00:52.:00:57.

crash landed on its second ever flight. He will report on that. And

:00:58.:01:03.

we will be live to in car ball where the American University compound has

:01:04.:01:04.

been attacked by militants. Hello we begin central Italy where

:01:05.:01:28.

at least 120 people are dead after a powerful earthquake. Many more

:01:29.:01:31.

people are trapped, the earthquake struck while most people were asleep

:01:32.:01:36.

in the early hours of Wednesday morning, near Perugia. The epicentre

:01:37.:01:38.

was around the town of ACCUMOLI. Let us show you what the Main Street

:01:39.:02:02.

of Amatrice looked like before and after just a few hours after the

:02:03.:02:07.

earthquake. James Reynolds arrived in Amatrice just a few hours after

:02:08.:02:11.

the began to shake and he sent us this report.

:02:12.:02:20.

Deep in the mountains, a piece of Italy has been destroyed.

:02:21.:02:22.

The residents of Amatrice, about to celebrate a summer

:02:23.:02:25.

Through piles of rubble, rescue workers tried

:02:26.:02:40.

We have made it to the centre of Amatrice.

:02:41.:02:44.

There is a rescue going on in the rubble there.

:02:45.:02:46.

You can see, right now they are bringing out someone

:02:47.:02:48.

It looks like she is, which will be a huge relief

:02:49.:02:55.

The woman is being escorted down to an ambulance

:02:56.:02:58.

We also saw rescuers carry away a number of dead bodies,

:02:59.:03:19.

Many survivors were barely able to talk.

:03:20.:03:22.

It is hard to comprehend how your town can fall

:03:23.:03:25.

TRANSLATION: There is nothing left standing.

:03:26.:03:32.

I am so sorry for so many people that are under the rubble.

:03:33.:03:36.

And here, an official talks to a woman who is trapped.

:03:37.:03:46.

Stay calm, he tells, we will come to get you.

:03:47.:04:03.

In Amatrice, Sister Marianna told us she was pulled from

:04:04.:04:05.

Some of her fellow sisters are still trapped.

:04:06.:04:10.

When I realised what happened I tried to hide myself

:04:11.:04:13.

This region is vulnerable to earthquakes, but no

:04:14.:04:24.

From above, the devastation of Amatrice is clear.

:04:25.:04:29.

It is too dangerous to take them inside Amatrice's damaged hospital.

:04:30.:04:45.

Their homes, their lives have collapsed around them.

:04:46.:04:56.

Jenny Hell is in Amatrice watching the continuing operations. There is

:04:57.:05:07.

no hope of finding survivors in that town according to the mayor but they

:05:08.:05:12.

are still very much looking for those who could be alive? Yes they

:05:13.:05:19.

are, and actually, rescue work is ready focusing now on the building

:05:20.:05:24.

behind me now. This is a confident, there are believed to have been some

:05:25.:05:27.

nuns and elderly people inside the building when the earthquake struck

:05:28.:05:31.

in the early hours of the morning. In fact a little earlier this

:05:32.:05:35.

evening rescue workers motioned for everyone in the area to be silent as

:05:36.:05:41.

they shouted into the rubble, can you hear me, if you can hear me, can

:05:42.:05:45.

you knock, and they believe that they heard a faint knocking. The

:05:46.:05:49.

trouble is that in order to get to the person who they believe is still

:05:50.:05:52.

alive under the rubble in one part of the building they are having to

:05:53.:05:57.

shore up the rest of it and you can see that it is getting very dark and

:05:58.:06:01.

from time to time they switch on some lights and you can see just how

:06:02.:06:06.

precarious that building is, several flaws appear to have collapsed in

:06:07.:06:10.

what was a window, there is simply Lehrer upon layer of rubble. The

:06:11.:06:16.

external walls are leaning very precariously. A little earlier,

:06:17.:06:21.

there was a lengthy after-shock to that, it makes the job of the

:06:22.:06:25.

rescuers even more dangerous. Nevertheless, they have been

:06:26.:06:29.

bringing in heavy machinery as the night has gone on, they are

:06:30.:06:32.

determined if they can to try and get to that person who they believe

:06:33.:06:36.

may still be alive within the rubble and may they believe have been

:06:37.:06:39.

responsible for the faint knocking sounds that they heard a Vettel

:06:40.:06:43.

earlier on. It is a similar story throughout the town, they have been

:06:44.:06:48.

going through buildings all day, you pass exhausted workers, their faces

:06:49.:06:54.

streaked with dirt, rubble and dust. They have had sniffer dogs out,

:06:55.:06:58.

using special technology to try and make sure that if someone is alive

:06:59.:07:02.

inside some of these collapsed buildings they can get them out. All

:07:03.:07:07.

day they have been bringing out some survivors but many dead bodies as

:07:08.:07:11.

well. The mayor of this particular town says that at least 75 people

:07:12.:07:16.

have died here, 120 have died across the affected region. About 1000

:07:17.:07:22.

people have nowhere to go, they have made their way to the gym, a sports

:07:23.:07:27.

hall nearby. It has been turned into a makeshift shelter, they have gone

:07:28.:07:30.

to get some rest and to wait for some news. Most people here fear,

:07:31.:07:36.

that now what is pretty inevitable, the death toll will continue to

:07:37.:07:44.

rise. Thank you very much, I'm sure that people say that the faint

:07:45.:07:50.

knocking that you described can -- I'm sure that they will try to get

:07:51.:07:55.

to the faint knocking. There has been a militant attack, on the

:07:56.:08:02.

American University in Kabul. There is a tweet that we would like to

:08:03.:08:13.

pull up from a journalist. I am glad to tell you that he is now safe but

:08:14.:08:17.

it is a very difficult situation. We can go to Kabul now, who's watching

:08:18.:08:25.

the situation. Is the situation still going on, is there still

:08:26.:08:32.

conflict? Guess, after several hours, there has been some gunshots,

:08:33.:08:41.

hearing and seeing. Do we know how many people have been taken to

:08:42.:08:47.

hospital? According to the health ministry that I spoke with, at least

:08:48.:08:54.

one killed and 21 injured. Tell us more about the American university,

:08:55.:08:58.

I imagine it is a pretty high-profile target and a well-known

:08:59.:09:06.

place? Guess, yes two of the professors at the University had

:09:07.:09:12.

been kidnapped by gunmen. When you go there, it is well secured, I

:09:13.:09:21.

mean, the security is very tight. But I spoke with one of the

:09:22.:09:25.

students, when he was their comedy said to me that, at first there was

:09:26.:09:33.

a feud gunfire and then a big explosion happened. And then he

:09:34.:09:37.

managed to escape. There are stories of students scrambling over walls,

:09:38.:09:41.

just getting out anyway that they can? Yes, the student I spoke with,

:09:42.:09:51.

he said that, he was about 100 metres away from the main gates to

:09:52.:09:58.

go home. And then he said, he herdlike gunfire and then after

:09:59.:10:03.

that, a big explosion, and he went back inside the building, and on the

:10:04.:10:11.

wall he jumped out, and went home. Thank you for bringing us up to

:10:12.:10:12.

date. Turkish tanks have crossed into

:10:13.:10:23.

Syria and have taken a town that was held by self-styled IS, this is the

:10:24.:10:30.

Nato member's first ground incursion into Syria of any substance. They

:10:31.:10:37.

were also targeting what they called Kurdish terrorists. The government

:10:38.:10:41.

is very keen to stop Kurdish forces moving west of the Euphrates, this

:10:42.:10:47.

is a red line for them as far as they are National security concerns

:10:48.:10:50.

go. In the last human is Turkish Prime Minister has said that the

:10:51.:10:57.

operation in Syria continue until Kurdish fighters moved back east. It

:10:58.:11:03.

is a name that true approval from a high-profile diplomatic visitor.

:11:04.:11:11.

John Kerry. We have made it to be clear adds to part of the elements

:11:12.:11:19.

that were part of the democratic forces, the white PG, that they must

:11:20.:11:24.

move back past the river, they must not and cannot and under no

:11:25.:11:28.

circumstances will get American support if they do not keep that

:11:29.:11:37.

commitment. We get someone to tell us about the purpose of the

:11:38.:11:40.

opposition. The Syrian rebels backed by Turkey and the US have now

:11:41.:11:46.

reclaimed the town, and they see this as a success, because what was

:11:47.:11:50.

the purpose of this operation Noble for Turkey? It was first to dislodge

:11:51.:11:55.

so-called Islamic State from this area, and on the other hand, also to

:11:56.:12:03.

contain the expansion of Syrian and Kurdish militia groups. And by doing

:12:04.:12:08.

that, Turkey aims to relocate the rebels, that it is backing, because

:12:09.:12:14.

it is in a critical position for Turkey, just over the border. And by

:12:15.:12:20.

taking the control of this area, Turkey would have prevented, the

:12:21.:12:27.

belt that was about to be created. That is interesting, the Kurdish

:12:28.:12:31.

fighters wanted to push forward to take advantage of IS pushed back and

:12:32.:12:35.

Washington usually sees the Kurdish fighters on the ground as among his

:12:36.:12:37.

best allies in Syria and yet Washington this time has said

:12:38.:12:48.

that they have gone far enough. Yes Joe Biden are repeating their

:12:49.:12:52.

statement earlier in June, they said that they would not really allowed,

:12:53.:12:57.

supports Kurdish militias if they go west of the Euphrates. But I think

:12:58.:13:00.

yes, the other countries play an important role because what we heard

:13:01.:13:05.

from Russia, they said that they were worried about events at the

:13:06.:13:09.

border. This also reminds us what has happened between Turkey and

:13:10.:13:14.

Russia because the last time we saw Turkish aeroplanes being over the

:13:15.:13:17.

skies at the border was when they shot down a Russian jet fighter. Yes

:13:18.:13:22.

of course, this reminds us that this is big power politics happening at

:13:23.:13:28.

the Turkish- Syria border. Presumably the United States not

:13:29.:13:31.

wanting Turkey to cosy up to the United States. That is another

:13:32.:13:35.

thing. This whole operation indicates that Turkey does not want

:13:36.:13:41.

to remain isolated. Because last year in November, when the Turks

:13:42.:13:45.

shot down the Russian fighter jet, they were isolated by various sides

:13:46.:13:55.

of the conflict. But in this incursion Turkey secures its

:13:56.:14:01.

broader, helps its integrity, and it aims to prevent the expansion of the

:14:02.:14:07.

Kurds. It is also making a point to Washington because it is not so long

:14:08.:14:10.

since that attempted coup and many in Turkey are angry they see America

:14:11.:14:15.

harbouring a man they feel may be responsible? A lot of politics. Yes

:14:16.:14:24.

because there was a growing and worrying anti-American feeling in

:14:25.:14:29.

some parts of society, when Turkey demanded the extradition, of Fetulla

:14:30.:14:41.

Gullen, who was blamed for the coup. So we will see, how it will go. We

:14:42.:14:50.

will go to tear the late few minutes because Ukraine has been celebrating

:14:51.:14:53.

25 years of independence from the Soviet Union with a huge military

:14:54.:15:05.

parade. A 30 rock 'n' roll Marine has been arrested in Somerset in

:15:06.:15:10.

suspicion of terrorism offences, he has been named as Karin Maxwell.

:15:11.:15:16.

Police have given more details. Today's arrest was preplanned and

:15:17.:15:20.

intelligence led in relation to Northern Ireland terrorism.

:15:21.:15:28.

Investigation has been led by the police, and the Southwest gas

:15:29.:15:30.

terrorism intelligence unit. No armed police were involved in

:15:31.:15:35.

today's arrests. Searches are being conducted by police under section

:15:36.:15:40.

five of the terrorism act at an address. Further searches are taking

:15:41.:15:44.

place in a wooded area near by and in Northern Ireland. The man who was

:15:45.:15:51.

a serving member of the British Armed Forces was arrested at an

:15:52.:15:56.

address in Somerset and was taken to a Somerset police station. The

:15:57.:15:59.

public can be reassured that there is no intelligence to suggest

:16:00.:16:10.

immediate threat to our communities. You are watching outside source

:16:11.:16:14.

live. The lead story, at least 120 people have been killed in an

:16:15.:16:17.

earthquake in Italy and many more are believed to be trapped under

:16:18.:16:21.

rubble. The Marine Montana says that all the buildings in a village have

:16:22.:16:26.

collapsed. And more now on what has been covered elsewhere. The interim

:16:27.:16:30.

government says that monsoon floods in northern and central India have

:16:31.:16:35.

caused more than 150 deaths, more than 2 million people have been

:16:36.:16:39.

affected. A 21-year-old British woman has died after she was stabbed

:16:40.:16:43.

at a backpacker 's Hospital in Queens land in Australia, a British

:16:44.:16:47.

man was also severely injured. A French suspect has been arrested, he

:16:48.:16:52.

apparently said the phrase our lad but during the attack. Which means

:16:53.:17:01.

God is greatest. I want to tell you about another earthquake measuring

:17:02.:17:07.

6.8, which struck the central region of my and Mark, formerly known as

:17:08.:17:14.

Burma. The quake was centred around the ancient city, it has damaged a

:17:15.:17:19.

number of temples in the area. Let me play this update. It is a temple

:17:20.:17:28.

complex, you have almost certainly gone there, it is a complex of

:17:29.:17:34.

around 2200 remarkable temples. Lots of tourists with lots of cameras,

:17:35.:17:39.

they were filming as the earthquake unfolded and there has been

:17:40.:17:46.

substantial damage, to the temples. 66 temples were damaged. I was

:17:47.:17:50.

speaking to a guy who was filming, and he said that, lots of bricks and

:17:51.:17:55.

debris were falling as the earthquake unfolded. Remarkable

:17:56.:18:00.

ready that no one appears to have been injured. But as we mentioned at

:18:01.:18:06.

the start, it looks like there will be a number of deaths, three so far

:18:07.:18:13.

and that total likely to rise. Time to bring in outside source business,

:18:14.:18:18.

the Australian national carrier Qantas has unveiled record results,

:18:19.:18:23.

the airline record profits of just over $1 billion. Let me play you an

:18:24.:18:27.

assessment of the Australian carrier's success. Clearly

:18:28.:18:33.

management got it right with Qantas. They got the fuel right, they save

:18:34.:18:38.

17% on fuel costs, they reduced the numbers of staff, they increased the

:18:39.:18:42.

service that they provided on board, they get really good consumer

:18:43.:18:51.

reviews now, whereas others have very much been hit by competition

:18:52.:18:55.

from Chinese mainland airlines and Qantas has got out of most long-haul

:18:56.:19:02.

flying beyond Dubai. And now am operate all of the European flights

:19:03.:19:06.

apart from London. It works for both of them, they have got their

:19:07.:19:10.

operation right, they have got capacity and supply in unison. They

:19:11.:19:14.

have got a good operation that people are prepared

:19:15.:19:16.

to pay for. Please do hear a lot about EU food mountains, how about

:19:17.:19:22.

this, there is an oversupply of cheese in the United States in the

:19:23.:19:27.

US government is stepping in to buy around $20 million worth of cheese,

:19:28.:19:30.

sending it to food banks across the country. Giving dairy producers a

:19:31.:19:42.

helping hand. I am kind of baffled by this, how big is the cheese

:19:43.:19:47.

mountain? It is considerable, because of a high cost of the US

:19:48.:19:54.

dollar, it has become a lot more expensive for foreigners to purchase

:19:55.:19:59.

American cheeses. Previous to the rise of the US dollar, we saw that

:20:00.:20:04.

actually cheese prices were low so dairy producers were producing a lot

:20:05.:20:09.

more milk. So these two events came together, and now we have this

:20:10.:20:13.

cheese glut. To give you an idea of how much additional cheese there is

:20:14.:20:19.

on the commodity market, the amount that the US government is

:20:20.:20:24.

purchasing, ?11 million, represents just 1%. Wow. Does that mean that

:20:25.:20:31.

dairy farmers have been subsidised to produce the cheese in the first

:20:32.:20:38.

place? Yes in the United States many farmers are subsidised, the reason

:20:39.:20:42.

for that is that in the event that it is not necessarily profitable for

:20:43.:20:46.

farmers to be in the business of producing food, well, there is still

:20:47.:20:51.

always going to be a need for food so even if it may not make sense

:20:52.:20:56.

financially for them, there is still that need which means there will

:20:57.:21:00.

always be a government subsidy. Thank you very much for keeping us

:21:01.:21:07.

up to date on the cheese mountain. The world's largest aircraft has

:21:08.:21:12.

crashed, Helander ten, which is over 90 metres long as part playing, part

:21:13.:21:22.

-- part aeroplane col part helicopter, part ebon.

:21:23.:21:25.

The world's largest aircraft takes a long time to crash.

:21:26.:21:27.

Almost in slow motion, the pilot can't stop it

:21:28.:21:30.

The cockpit with the crew up front is clearly smashed up.

:21:31.:21:34.

For Angela, an enthusiast who shot this footage,

:21:35.:21:39.

Because you know, well you don't know if the people in there have

:21:40.:21:45.

If the ground crew are OK, just didn't know.

:21:46.:21:49.

Very shaken afterwards, I mean, I did shake when I was holding

:21:50.:21:53.

the camera trying to get the pictures of them,

:21:54.:21:55.

And I did say if anyone can hold it steadier than me,

:21:56.:21:59.

It went very quiet, the other people stood here went very quiet.

:22:00.:22:03.

Eyewitnesses here told me they saw sparks coming from the mooring rope

:22:04.:22:10.

But I understand that's not connected to the crash.

:22:11.:22:16.

There was no chance of a fireball because the Airlander is full

:22:17.:22:19.

of inert helium gas, not the explosive hydrogen gas

:22:20.:22:24.

of the famous old airships like the Hindenburg.

:22:25.:22:26.

You might think airships are old technology, but many believe

:22:27.:22:28.

Using a third less fuel than a normal aeroplane, and able

:22:29.:22:34.

to stay in the air for days, they can carry huge cargoes

:22:35.:22:39.

This accident is an embarrassing setback on just its second test

:22:40.:22:48.

flight but the company says Airlander should fly again soon.

:22:49.:22:54.

Pictures have emerged French police forcing a Muslim woman to remove her

:22:55.:23:03.

how to clothing on a beach in Nice. It is about a controversial ban on

:23:04.:23:09.

burkini 's, critics have said, that the ban in France is a means of

:23:10.:23:14.

stigmatising Muslims. The highest court in France is due to rule on

:23:15.:23:21.

this tomorrow. Now Ukraine is marking 25 years of independence

:23:22.:23:24.

from the Soviet Union, with its biggest ever military parade. It is

:23:25.:23:32.

showing off. Tanks. Artillery. Military hardware, in the centre of

:23:33.:23:38.

Kiev. Of course this is very significant. Independence Day in

:23:39.:23:42.

Ukraine has added meaning it calls of the ongoing battles with Russian

:23:43.:23:46.

supporting rebels towards the east of the country and also of course

:23:47.:23:52.

Russia's annexation of Crimea. Tom Burgess cut the celebrations.

:23:53.:24:02.

The celebrations to mark 25 years of independence from the Soviet Union

:24:03.:24:07.

are particularly poignant given the fact that they have a battle for

:24:08.:24:12.

their sovereignty with a will in the east of their country and of course

:24:13.:24:20.

Russia's annexation of Crimea. The first 20 something years we were not

:24:21.:24:23.

totally independent but kind of a satellite of Russia. In an imperial

:24:24.:24:32.

sort of meaning. While the last years we are truly independent and

:24:33.:24:36.

we fight for independence, it is never given for three. I think what

:24:37.:24:41.

we saw today is that Ukrainians are determined to remain free, but we do

:24:42.:24:49.

need the world to recognise the sacrifice we are doing, really for

:24:50.:24:54.

Europe and the world. If Russia is permitted to take over Ukraine

:24:55.:25:01.

again, this is like World War II, appeasement all over again.

:25:02.:25:09.

Ukrainian military was rebuilt after 2014, it was suffering back then

:25:10.:25:13.
