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. | :13:20. | :13:25. | |
Hospitals in Orlando in Florida say they won't charge for treatment | :13:26. | :13:34. | |
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 | :16:33. | :16:39. | |
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 | :17:10. | :17:19. | |
inside, because safety, they say, Still, the company | :17:20. | :17:21. | |
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 | :18:28. | :18:30. | |
without drivers could be That company in Singapore Pittsburgh | :18:31. | :18:51. | |
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 | :20:41. | :20:46. | |
company beginning to burst? Thank you very much. Michelle in New York. | :20:47. | :20:54. | |
Global messaging service WhatsApp says it will start shaving the phone | :20:55. | :21:00. | |
number of its users with Facebook, it's the -- its parent company. It | :21:01. | :21:07. | |
means that the millions of -- what does that mean for the users of | :21:08. | :21:14. | |
WhatsApp? It is to offer targeted advertising which should be of | :21:15. | :21:19. | |
relevance to the people who are receiving it. But for the people who | :21:20. | :21:24. | |
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 | :21:52. | :21:57. | |
that it makes money from this service and maintaining the | :21:58. | :22:00. | |
integrity of the art which is the reason why people use it. North | :22:01. | :22:06. | |
Korea has its own answer to Germany's Oktoberfest. The secretive | :22:07. | :22:12. | |
state has hosted its first beer Festival to promote a new lager on | :22:13. | :22:14. | |
offer. Let's take a closer look. The French farce and designer, Sonia | :22:15. | :23:46. | |
Reichel, has died at the age of 86. She was described by President Alaun | :23:47. | :23:51. | |
as a pioneer and with an attitude which helped liberate women. Easy to | :23:52. | :24:00. | |
recognise with her striking red here, seeing you at one of her | :24:01. | :24:05. | |
shows. It was that tongue in cheek style which saw her career take off | :24:06. | :24:14. | |
decades earlier. 1968 and France has gripped with violent protests. Her | :24:15. | :24:20. | |
brightly striped sweater dresses, inside out stitches and short skirts | :24:21. | :24:26. | |
were her ways of counting stiffs bougie -- Bruges la dress codes. Men | :24:27. | :24:32. | |
dominated the fashion world but she was a rare woman at the top. Her | :24:33. | :24:39. | |
achievements were awarded in 2009 when Nicolas Sarkozy named her grand | :24:40. | :24:44. | |
commander of the Legion for like ten services to fashion. Her style and | :24:45. | :24:50. | |
designs continue to win support from new generations of the rich and | :24:51. | :24:55. | |
famous. She is one of my favourites. She is the one I want to go and see. | :24:56. | :25:04. | |
Her shows are always fun. This is a whole other level. It is a great way | :25:05. | :25:10. | |
to end a night out. Use of her death was announced by her daughter | :25:11. | :25:15. | |
Natalie. She ran the fashion house by the time her mother was announced | :25:16. | :25:20. | |
to have had Parkinson's disease. President Hollande said -- led the | :25:21. | :25:28. | |
tributes. As well as her daughter, she leaves behind a son, John | :25:29. | :25:33. | |
