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. | |
from decades of neglect but over the course of the last osseous com | :25:14. | :25:17. | |
Ukraine has rebuilt its military and today is about putting that on | :25:18. | :25:21. | |
display, sending a signal of military might if you like, and part | :25:22. | :25:25. | |
of the intended audience is of course Moscow. | :25:26. | :25:31. | |
Do you stay with us on BBC outside source, more to come including white | :25:32. | :25:38. | |
Italy is so earthquake prone, and I be cooking to our science reporter | :25:39. | :25:44. | |
about that. Why Nigel Farage is in Mississippi. He's in the States | :25:45. | :25:47. | |
supporting Donald Trump. We will have more on that alliance. And we | :25:48. | :25:55. | |
