Hello, I'm Karin Giannone, this is Outside Source.

:00:09.:00:14.

250 people are now known to have died after the earthquake

:00:15.:00:16.

Strong aftershocks are making the rescue efforts

:00:17.:00:22.

That is the biggest movement we have felt since we have been in Amatrice.

:00:23.:00:33.

This is still a dangerous place. More Turkish troops go into Syria. A

:00:34.:00:52.

company in Singapore is hoping to launch the first driverless taxi

:00:53.:00:57.

service. And more on France's burkini ban and we hear from a

:00:58.:01:03.

Muslim woman who was told to take off some of her clothes to avoid a

:01:04.:01:06.

fine. We begin in Italy where 250 people

:01:07.:01:24.

are known to have died in Wednesday's earthquake and in the

:01:25.:01:27.

last few moments a development from the British Foreign Office. We have

:01:28.:01:32.

learned at least three British citizens are among the dead. At the

:01:33.:01:36.

moment, we have no other information on the victims. Rescuers have been

:01:37.:01:46.

concentrating their efforts on four towns near Perugia. They have been

:01:47.:01:51.

reduced to little more than rubble. But strong after shocks are making

:01:52.:01:57.

the search for survivors difficult. Still the Italian Red Cross says

:01:58.:02:03.

there is a chance of finding people alive. James Reynolds sent this

:02:04.:02:15.

report. Look at the town of Amatrice and see if you can find anything

:02:16.:02:21.

that has not been hit. The quake destroyed much of the centre and it

:02:22.:02:30.

is still a dangerous place. This afternoon, there was a large after

:02:31.:02:36.

shock. Enough to shake the entire town. The ground has just shaken

:02:37.:02:43.

again and the effects were tremendous. Just have a look over

:02:44.:02:48.

here and you will see all that dust has been caused by the new after

:02:49.:02:53.

shock. I'm not sure what to call it. We heard and felt the entire tarmac,

:02:54.:03:05.

the entire ground move. This woman and her family were sleeping when

:03:06.:03:07.

they felt the ground move. TRANSLATION: You can't

:03:08.:03:15.

understand it. It is as if you see

:03:16.:03:16.

the face of death. One girl underneath this rubble

:03:17.:03:18.

knows what that was like. For 15 hours, ten-year-old

:03:19.:03:29.

Julia was trapped. Rescuers found her legs first

:03:30.:03:33.

and they pulled her out to cheers. This is what rescuers have

:03:34.:03:37.

to deal with in the town In the summer this area is full

:03:38.:03:43.

of foreign tourists, making it much harder to track

:03:44.:03:51.

who survived and who is missing. In Amatrice we watched rescuers

:03:52.:03:56.

search the remains of this house. Two hours later they

:03:57.:04:02.

brought out a body. This is what the loss

:04:03.:04:03.

of hope looks like. Relief workers, clearly exhausted,

:04:04.:04:13.

say it is hard to stay optimistic. It is so difficult,

:04:14.:04:18.

this man told me. The sniffer dogs are not

:04:19.:04:23.

finding anything. Some survivors have been given

:04:24.:04:26.

a new temporary home in the park. The youngest may have

:04:27.:04:30.

no idea what they have You heard James mentioning the

:04:31.:04:45.

historic town of Amatrice, still experiencing after shocks and I

:04:46.:04:48.

asked him to describe what that felt like. There was one in the afternoon

:04:49.:04:54.

and we were all in it. And the ground moved tremendously. And

:04:55.:04:57.

within seconds you could see rescue workers running down the steps to

:04:58.:05:00.

see whether or not their colleagues were OK. It shows this is still a

:05:01.:05:05.

dangerous place. Particularly for those relief and rescue workers who

:05:06.:05:09.

perch themselves on the rubble while they try to find survivors. Have we

:05:10.:05:16.

got an indication of how long the teams are going to keep that search

:05:17.:05:24.

up for? I spoke to a firefighter who said they would carry on working. He

:05:25.:05:28.

said he expected from previous experience to be here a week. But

:05:29.:05:33.

these firefighters and relief workers work in shifts. You see one

:05:34.:05:38.

walk up the hill and another work down. They can carry on until a

:05:39.:05:46.

decision is made that that is you. But experience says that simply 40

:05:47.:05:51.

hours after an earthquake is too soon to give up looking. Survivors

:05:52.:05:56.

can survive for longer than two days. What about the hundreds who

:05:57.:06:02.

have been injured and how challenging has it been to get

:06:03.:06:08.

treatment there? From what we have seen, there is a new infrastructure

:06:09.:06:12.

here, a temporary infrastructure set up which has allowed Italy to treat

:06:13.:06:17.

those injured. We haven't seen people in the centre of town,

:06:18.:06:20.

because they have been taken elsewhere. Yesterday we saw a field

:06:21.:06:24.

hospital outside the main hospital that was so damaged that it was

:06:25.:06:28.

unsafe and those patients have been taken elsewhere. Hospitals have been

:06:29.:06:34.

put an alert. But we are seeing a second Amatrice being born, a relief

:06:35.:06:38.

Amatrice and people are sitting in parks, there is a warehouse, a

:06:39.:06:43.

sports hall, where people can register and get water and supplies.

:06:44.:06:50.

Thank you. One last thing for you, to help raise funds Italian

:06:51.:06:53.

restaurants around the world are being asked to make donation for

:06:54.:06:59.

every plate served of the dish named after the town of Amatrice. It is a

:07:00.:07:10.

famous dish made with a tomato based sauce and pork cheek. It suggests

:07:11.:07:15.

two euros for each serving be donated. More than 600 restaurants

:07:16.:07:24.

in Italy have signed up. And one of those in the UK is the chain

:07:25.:07:34.

belonging to Jamie Oliver. There is a a lot more information on the

:07:35.:07:43.

web-site. Turkey sent more tanks into Syria as part of its lightning

:07:44.:07:53.

strike on Islamic State and Kurdish fighters that Turkey considers to s

:07:54.:08:01.

to be terrorists. I wanted to find out more about this and spoke to a

:08:02.:08:08.

correspondent on the border about what Turkey is trying to achieve. It

:08:09.:08:15.

has two goals. First to oust IS from the key stronghold that was the last

:08:16.:08:20.

foot hold of Islamic State on the Turkey/Syria border. It has done

:08:21.:08:24.

that very quickly and with very limited resistance. Pictures that we

:08:25.:08:29.

have seen shot for the BBC from the operation have shown actually that

:08:30.:08:36.

the areas, the villages, was largely free of the fighters even before the

:08:37.:08:45.

rebel soldiers arrived. The second goal is to push the Kurdish militia

:08:46.:08:52.

back from the border. Turkey has long had a problem with the Kurdish

:08:53.:08:59.

population and it feared as IS was ousted f the Kurds came in, that

:09:00.:09:05.

could create some kind of autonomous Kurdish area and Turkey sees that as

:09:06.:09:10.

a threat. That has given a warning shot to the Kurd and it has US

:09:11.:09:14.

backing for that, to push the Kurds back and tonight the Turkish

:09:15.:09:20.

Government has said until the Kurds withdraw, Turkish troops will remain

:09:21.:09:24.

in northern Syria. It has US backing, because I was wondering how

:09:25.:09:28.

it may complicate with the United States, given the United States

:09:29.:09:33.

views some of the Kurdish groups as allies? Yes, that is part of kind of

:09:34.:09:40.

extremely comply Cailleted mess that Syria has become. The Kurds have

:09:41.:09:49.

been part of militia. But now the US has warned the Kurds if they're to

:09:50.:09:55.

continue to receive that support from America, they need to withdraw.

:09:56.:10:01.

For Turkey that is a key victory, because it felt Washington has

:10:02.:10:07.

prioritised the Kurdish militia, over Turkey. But with this form

:10:08.:10:13.

message from the United States, they seem to have changed tack and Turkey

:10:14.:10:18.

has a buffer zone the other side of border, free of IS and the Kurds.

:10:19.:10:25.

But the battle moves south, as IS have withdrawn and fierce fighting

:10:26.:10:36.

lies ahead. Louch ground is Islamic State losing? It is losing certain

:10:37.:10:44.

areas. But there are key strongholds in Syria and Iraq. Raqqa and in Iraq

:10:45.:10:51.

Mosul. But it is slowly being withdrawn. This was a way of trying

:10:52.:10:57.

to pave the way for an eventual onslaught on Raqqa. But it should

:10:58.:11:01.

take months or years for that to happen. There is still a significant

:11:02.:11:04.

force there that Turkey and the coalition is fighting. And the

:11:05.:11:09.

interesting thing is this is that Turkey has gone from being on th

:11:10.:11:17.

sidelines of the anti-IS battle, to leading the offensive. Partly

:11:18.:11:21.

because of the wave of IS attacks, but also it gave the Turkey

:11:22.:11:28.

Government an opportunity to go after the Kurdish forces. Next we

:11:29.:11:33.

are in the US to find out what Donald Trump's fans made of Nigel

:11:34.:11:38.

Farage who spoke at one of his rallies last night. The royal

:11:39.:11:48.

national lifeboat institution believes fine men who died in the

:11:49.:11:55.

sea at Camber Sands may have underestimated the speed of the

:11:56.:11:59.

tide. The police say the men were on a day trip from London. One family

:12:00.:12:10.

member said there was no sew lace that the men died together. It is no

:12:11.:12:15.

comfort. All this happened the same day and it keeps it coming into your

:12:16.:12:21.

head again and again that these four innocent people died because of

:12:22.:12:24.

swimming problems. From this we wanted to make sure that swimming on

:12:25.:12:30.

beaches and stuff are more secure, depending on which location and how

:12:31.:12:38.

it is. So I want to make sure that people control this major currents

:12:39.:12:52.

and waves. I want it to be improved. You're with Outside Force. Our top

:12:53.:12:57.

story: 250 people are now known to have died after the earthquake in

:12:58.:13:04.

central Italy. Strong after shocks are hampering rescue efforts. Also

:13:05.:13:08.

being reported on around the BBC right now. Russia's president,

:13:09.:13:12.

Vladimir Putin, has condemned the decision to ban the entire Russian

:13:13.:13:19.

Paralympic team. He said it was beyond law, ethics and humanity.

Hospitals in Orlando in Florida say they won't charge for treatment

provided to survivors of the Pulse nightclub massacre. For the second

:13:35.:13:43.

time this week there has been a run in between US and Iranian ships in

:13:44.:13:49.

the Northern Gulf. Here what is we have from Reuters. They say a US

:13:50.:14:00.

navy ship fired warning shots after a craft approached two US ships.

:14:01.:14:04.

This is where we are talked about. On Tuesday, the US and Iranian

:14:05.:14:12.

vessels said they harassed one of their ships. David Willis is

:14:13.:14:17.

monitoring vents from Washington. Any more detail? There have been a

:14:18.:14:24.

number of incidents, at least three, the Pentagon spokesman confirming

:14:25.:14:29.

that in the last hour or so. On one of those occasions shots were fired,

:14:30.:14:37.

on another flares, after these Iranian vessels got a little too

:14:38.:14:41.

close for comfort to the America ship. One of the ships was the USS

:14:42.:14:50.

Nitz. That took place earlier in the week. This underlines that this is

:14:51.:14:56.

an area of growing tension. You may remember back in January of this

:14:57.:15:03.

year, a number of USS naval, US naval personnel were detained at gun

:15:04.:15:07.

point for a day after they were found to have got into Iranian

:15:08.:15:14.

waters. In these particular incidents, the Pentagon is pointing

:15:15.:15:19.

out that it believes all of its vessels were within international

:15:20.:15:23.

waters. The Iranians seem to be countering that, may have beeninging

:15:24.:15:26.

the point that -- making the point they were be swift to intervene if

:15:27.:15:32.

they believe there has been a transgression into their waters.

:15:33.:15:43.

And in and said is but an step back in, we have this agreement on the

:15:44.:15:52.

nuclear issue which seem to be an improvement in relations? Yes, that

:15:53.:15:58.

has become increasingly contentious between President Obama and members

:15:59.:16:03.

of Congress seeking to pick it apart. We have herd as strategic

:16:04.:16:11.

waterways, something like 40% of oil exports pass through the Strait of

:16:12.:16:19.

Hormuz. This is an area bounded by Iraq and Iran, United Arab Emirates,

:16:20.:16:26.

Saudi Arabia, so it is contentious area and it is a hotspot spot as

:16:27.:16:32.

international passage is concerned. Thank you very much. David Willis in

Washington. No time for business. Let us start with this car, it is

:16:40.:16:45.

driverless and on the road already in Singapore. It has just been

:16:46.:16:49.

launched by a start-up firm and they hope to have a dozen cars on the

:16:50.:16:52.

street before the end of the year. It's not a ghost driving,

:16:53.:16:57.

as one passenger described The guy in the driver's seat is just

:16:58.:16:59.

there in case anything goes wrong. For now, only one car

:17:00.:17:04.

is being road-tested, but it's hoped there

:17:05.:17:07.

will soon be six. Commuters can book a taxi ride

:17:08.:17:09.

using their smartphone. But we weren't able to travel

inside, because safety, they say, Still, the company

insists the car is safe. The computer reacts far faster

:17:22.:17:24.

than a human will. Human reaction times

:17:25.:17:27.

are 0.25 seconds. And we can actually react far faster

:17:28.:17:30.

from seeing an object, deciding what to do and then

:17:31.:17:33.

applying the brakes. And so right now I would say

:17:34.:17:35.

that the cars are going to be more safe around pedestrians

:17:36.:17:39.

than most humans. We have an extensive health

:17:40.:17:41.

monitoring system in the car that monitors not only the computers,

:17:42.:17:48.

the sensors, the actual cabin of the car to make sure that

:17:49.:17:52.

everything is as we expect. And if there's a problem,

:17:53.:17:55.

it lets us know. In Singapore, where taxis crowd

:17:56.:17:57.

the roads, keeping thousands of drivers employed,

:17:58.:18:00.

unsurprisingly, some If this is expanded, then something

:18:01.:18:02.

bad is bound to happen. And when it does, who'll

:18:03.:18:12.

handle the mess? They help to drive at a certain

:18:13.:18:15.

speed, also, there is a lot I don't think the

:18:16.:18:19.

technology is that good. Well, they might dismiss it now,

:18:20.:18:27.

but the company claims that a fully-fledged paid service

at the post because it has been planning to introduce driverless

:18:52.:18:59.

taxes in the States. Uber hopes it will change its financial fortunes

:19:00.:19:04.

because those post points out they lost $1.27 billion in the first half

:19:05.:19:11.

of 2016. Let us cross to New York. It is not uncommon for a tech

:19:12.:19:15.

companies to lose a lot of money initially. What is being read into

:19:16.:19:22.

these figures? The key concern has to do with the United States because

:19:23.:19:28.

Buber, in the first three months of this year, made a profit. Uber --

:19:29.:19:35.

then it started to lose money in the US. Its most profitable market is

:19:36.:19:42.

not looking so good and for a start-up that is very important

:19:43.:19:46.

because this is the phase when a company should grow exponentially

:19:47.:19:51.

and the future looks bright. There is hardly Uber a day gone by without

:19:52.:20:01.

being in the news. It has faced hurdles and challenges. It faces a

:20:02.:20:07.

lot of competition from arrival in the US. It struggled in China and

:20:08.:20:13.

abandoned its plans to expand last month. So it has had troubles in

:20:14.:20:18.

terms of good publicity and bad publicity but some investors are

:20:19.:20:22.

questioning whether this company is worth that much. It has raised a lot

:20:23.:20:28.

of money from venture capitalists on Wall Street. It has been looked on

:20:29.:20:34.

as a favourite or a unicorn for having raised so much money. Now I

:20:35.:20:40.

guess the question that people are asking, is the bubble for this

WhatsApp? It is to offer targeted advertising which should be of

relevance to the people who are receiving it. But for the people who

use WhatsApp, they use it precisely because it is clean, there is

:21:25.:21:30.

nothing there. It is very lightweight, a small download. There

:21:31.:21:35.

are no gimmicks. The worry for many people, as well as the privacy

:21:36.:21:41.

concerns, is that this app which is popular I being simple and straight

:21:42.:21:46.

forward might be like Facebook with things popping up all over the place

:21:47.:21:51.

and ruining the experience. Facebook will have a real job of ensuring
