Hello, I'm Ros Atkins, this is Outside Source. | :00:07. | :00:09. | |
Brexit was one of the big issues at the G20 summit in China. | :00:10. | :00:14. | |
The British Prime Minister made two statements that are making news - | :00:15. | :00:17. | |
first that several countries are already interested in striking | :00:18. | :00:19. | |
new trade deals with the UK - and that the UK will not | :00:20. | :00:22. | |
have an Australia style points-based immigration system. | :00:23. | :00:28. | |
We've Laura Kuennsburg's latest report from the G20. | :00:29. | :00:31. | |
Truck drivers are protesting near Calais today - | :00:32. | :00:34. | |
they want the migrant camp known as the jungle closed. | :00:35. | :00:37. | |
Good news from European Space Agency. | :00:38. | :00:43. | |
It's found the Philae lander - which landed on a comet in 2014 | :00:44. | :00:46. | |
but hasn't been heard from for since not long after that. | :00:47. | :00:52. | |
And after a far-right party in Germany beat Angela Merkel's | :00:53. | :00:55. | |
party to third place in important regional election. | :00:56. | :01:01. | |
Paul Adams has been investigating its popularity. | :01:02. | :01:21. | |
It's been Theresa May's first international summit | :01:22. | :01:24. | |
as Prime Minister - and inevitably Brexit | :01:25. | :01:26. | |
This is the front of the BBC News app. | :01:27. | :01:34. | |
On immigration, Theresa May was explicit - there will be no | :01:35. | :01:37. | |
Bear in mind that was one of the main proposals by pro | :01:38. | :01:43. | |
The G20 is a group of the 20 countries | :01:44. | :01:47. | |
The summit took place in the city of Hangzhou. | :01:48. | :01:56. | |
BBC's Political Editor Laura Kuennsburg was there. | :01:57. | :01:58. | |
Red carpets get rolled up and put away. | :01:59. | :02:10. | |
And at the end of the Prime Minister's first big adventure | :02:11. | :02:13. | |
abroad, there are questions that will follow her home. | :02:14. | :02:19. | |
But despite wide concerns, there are some reasons | :02:20. | :02:21. | |
Promises from a handful of countries who want to do | :02:22. | :02:26. | |
This has been my first G20 summit and the first summit of the world's | :02:27. | :02:35. | |
leading economies since the United Kingdom decided | :02:36. | :02:37. | |
What I've found pleasing and very useful in the discussions I've had | :02:38. | :02:44. | |
is their willingness to talk to us about opening up trade arrangements | :02:45. | :02:48. | |
between the United Kingdom and a number of other countries. | :02:49. | :02:52. | |
Fewer answers, though, on controlling EU immigration. | :02:53. | :02:56. | |
It won't be with the system sold to the public during the referendum. | :02:57. | :03:01. | |
What the British people voted for on the 23rd of June was to bring | :03:02. | :03:04. | |
some control into the movement of people from | :03:05. | :03:07. | |
A points-based system does not give you that control. | :03:08. | :03:12. | |
More than two months after the referendum, | :03:13. | :03:14. | |
can you give our audience any idea of what you might actually propose? | :03:15. | :03:17. | |
And, given that you were Home Secretary when immigration | :03:18. | :03:20. | |
climbed to record levels, why should people trust you to be | :03:21. | :03:25. | |
What the British people want to see is an element of control. | :03:26. | :03:31. | |
There are various ways in which you can do that. | :03:32. | :03:33. | |
But of course the work we are doing at the moment across government | :03:34. | :03:36. | |
is about looking at the sort of relationship that we want to | :03:37. | :03:39. | |
Part of that is about the sort of trade arrangements, | :03:40. | :03:44. | |
part of it is about the sort of issues we want to deal | :03:45. | :03:47. | |
So we will be coming forward in due course | :03:48. | :03:51. | |
But this summit was about more than Brexit. | :03:52. | :04:05. | |
This has not been an easy set of meetings for the Prime Minister. | :04:06. | :04:08. | |
Alongside the grips and grins of the formal handshake there's been | :04:09. | :04:11. | |
But Theresa May has shown she wants to be a leader who does things | :04:12. | :04:15. | |
in her own time and in her own way, not bound by the promises | :04:16. | :04:18. | |
of the referendum or of her predecessor in Number 10. | :04:19. | :04:21. | |
The Prime Minister came here to make an impression and departs having | :04:22. | :04:26. | |
done that, but leaves only a few more clues on how Britain and the EU | :04:27. | :04:31. | |
Laura Kuenssberg, BBC News, Hangzhou. | :04:32. | :04:42. | |
Two key issues. Immigration and trade. | :04:43. | :04:47. | |
Japan has issued a warning on Brexit. | :04:48. | :04:48. | |
It's released a 15 page document - it says Japanese firms may | :04:49. | :04:51. | |
move their European head offices out of the UK because of Brexit. | :04:52. | :05:03. | |
That sparked a broad ranging discussion. | :05:04. | :05:13. | |
Clearly the UK government would refute that - | :05:14. | :05:15. | |
but there's certainly pressure for more detail | :05:16. | :05:17. | |
And it's made more complicated by the fact that Theresa May didn't | :05:18. | :05:22. | |
She wasn't giving us lots of detail before the vote of her ideas of what | :05:23. | :05:35. | |
Brexit would be. In some ways, Theresa May is in a | :05:36. | :05:43. | |
horrible position because on the one hand, she has got to balance those | :05:44. | :05:47. | |
17 million British voters who said, we want out of the EU against all | :05:48. | :05:51. | |
the businesses that will be knocking on the doors of Downing Street, the | :05:52. | :05:58. | |
International corporations, all of Britain's allies, saying, are you | :05:59. | :06:03. | |
nuts? Don't leave the single market, it will terribly damaged the British | :06:04. | :06:06. | |
economy at the world economy. There she is, someone who wasn't in favour | :06:07. | :06:11. | |
of leaving the EU, but she is the one holding the baby, as it were. | :06:12. | :06:15. | |
Let's talk about immigration. It was one of the big issues driving that a | :06:16. | :06:21. | |
vote to leave the EU. How is this statement from her today that there | :06:22. | :06:27. | |
will be no point system, how has not gone down in Westminster? I make a | :06:28. | :06:32. | |
couple of points. Most people who are in favour of Brexit in her own | :06:33. | :06:37. | |
party, they are prepared to cut her slack. They think, by and large, her | :06:38. | :06:42. | |
and her government have made the right kind of noises, saying, we're | :06:43. | :06:47. | |
not sure of the details, but we need to control immigration. That was the | :06:48. | :06:51. | |
message of those Brexit voters. On the other hand, there are some | :06:52. | :06:58. | |
including the leader of the Ukip party, formally, Nigel Farage, | :06:59. | :07:01. | |
saying he would watch him closely. Not happy that a points system might | :07:02. | :07:05. | |
not be used. She is the sort of on borrowed time in some ways with the | :07:06. | :07:10. | |
Brexiteer is. They are prepared to cut her slack, but there would be | :07:11. | :07:13. | |
real trouble for the government if there is not some form of control on | :07:14. | :07:20. | |
immigration. From China, our next story is France. | :07:21. | :07:23. | |
It's caused by lorry and tractor drivers who want | :07:24. | :07:27. | |
They say drivers are being attacked by migrants who are trying to stow | :07:28. | :07:32. | |
away inside trucks which are heading to the UK. | :07:33. | :07:34. | |
You can see Calais marked on the North-West coast. | :07:35. | :07:36. | |
This is the motorway they're blocking. | :07:37. | :07:47. | |
It wraps right around Calais - block it, and you bring just | :07:48. | :07:49. | |
Around 7,000 people live there - most are from the Middle East, | :07:50. | :08:01. | |
Afghanistan and Africa, and most want to get to the UK. | :08:02. | :08:04. | |
Calais's population by the way is just over 70,000 - so the camp | :08:05. | :08:07. | |
Our correspondent, Lucy Williamson, has more. | :08:08. | :08:27. | |
Drive too slowly after midnight here, and you're an open target. | :08:28. | :08:30. | |
Today, it was tractor pace on Calais's most | :08:31. | :08:32. | |
notorious stretch of road, a go-slow protest by lorry | :08:33. | :08:37. | |
drivers waging a nightly battle with migrant gangs. | :08:38. | :08:39. | |
Joining them, several hundred residents living and working | :08:40. | :08:42. | |
This is a coalition of grievances against the migrants. | :08:43. | :08:50. | |
There are lorry drivers here, local farmers, business | :08:51. | :08:55. | |
And despite the recent security measures and government assurances, | :08:56. | :09:07. | |
they say the migrants are waging a guerrilla war, | :09:08. | :09:09. | |
They protest because it's getting worse and worse. | :09:10. | :09:12. | |
Every night, or nearly every night on the motorway, | :09:13. | :09:14. | |
some trucks are attacked, there are some traffic jams etc | :09:15. | :09:17. | |
because of some smugglers who have got their business in Calais, | :09:18. | :09:19. | |
and they want to make business and get migrants into a truck. | :09:20. | :09:30. | |
One attack filmed by the BBC last month shows the road blocked by logs | :09:31. | :09:34. | |
and people smugglers threatening drivers as they direct | :09:35. | :09:36. | |
Local wine merchant Jerome says British customers have shrunk | :09:37. | :09:43. | |
to a trickle, because many are now too scared to stop in Calais. | :09:44. | :09:51. | |
We have to go step-by-step, and the first step is to solve | :09:52. | :09:54. | |
the problem in Calais, to distribute all the migrants maybe | :09:55. | :09:56. | |
all over France or all over Europe, maybe England takes a part, | :09:57. | :09:59. | |
and being more strict in the fact that they can't stay in Calais. | :10:00. | :10:05. | |
France's interior minister has said the Jungle camp will be clear, | :10:06. | :10:08. | |
but Calais's migrants have been dispersed before, | :10:09. | :10:10. | |
And however the obstacles change, the lure of crossing | :10:11. | :10:17. | |
My current crisis is having summary different consequences. Those we are | :10:18. | :10:30. | |
seeing in Calais. In a few minutes we'll | :10:31. | :10:32. | |
report from Germany. Angela Merkel's party came third | :10:33. | :10:34. | |
in a regional election She was beat by a far-right | :10:35. | :10:36. | |
anti-immigration party. The British Medical Association has | :10:37. | :10:46. | |
called off next week's junior doctor strike - | :10:47. | :10:55. | |
after talks with the NHS. The BMA says strikes | :10:56. | :11:08. | |
planned for October, November and December will still go | :11:09. | :11:10. | |
ahead - unless the government calls off its plans to impose a contract | :11:11. | :11:13. | |
that has been rejected Our health correspondent Hugh Pym | :11:14. | :11:15. | |
sent this update a short time ago. That is very similar, for, five | :11:16. | :11:22. | |
weeks like it was in April third to what happened last time. Hospital | :11:23. | :11:24. | |
managements will breathe a sigh of relief. That gives them an amount of | :11:25. | :11:30. | |
time to plan for this. Certainly, it raises a few questions about the | :11:31. | :11:35. | |
BMA's decision to announce these strikes with only 12 days of notice. | :11:36. | :11:40. | |
That caused a lot of consternation within the NHS and they had to of | :11:41. | :11:43. | |
the table, making the whole thing looked confused. They are adamant | :11:44. | :11:47. | |
that the case remains the same and they will go ahead with five days of | :11:48. | :11:51. | |
strikes starting on the 5th of October and five days in November | :11:52. | :11:52. | |
and December, as well. This is Outside Source live | :11:53. | :12:00. | |
from the BBC newsroom. At the G20 summit in China, | :12:01. | :12:02. | |
Theresa May says several countries are interested in trade deals | :12:03. | :12:06. | |
with the UK, but she rules out an Australian style | :12:07. | :12:09. | |
immigration system. Some of the main stories from BBC | :12:10. | :12:19. | |
World Service. Two suicide attacks have hit | :12:20. | :12:22. | |
the entrance to the Afghan In the last hour, reports of another | :12:23. | :12:24. | |
large explosion in the city. In Tel Aviv, at least two people | :12:25. | :12:34. | |
have been killed and a number of others are feared missing | :12:35. | :12:37. | |
after a building collapsed. It's believed that a crane | :12:38. | :12:39. | |
fell on the car park - This is something | :12:40. | :12:41. | |
we rarely get to see. It's a southern right whale | :12:42. | :12:46. | |
and her calf - which is white. That is very rare - | :12:47. | :12:49. | |
about 5% of these whales are born white but turn black | :12:50. | :12:51. | |
in their first year. Researchers filmed it using a drone | :12:52. | :12:53. | |
- and you'll find this in the BBC's We don't always cover | :12:54. | :12:57. | |
Germany's regional elections. But Angela Merkel's just taken a big | :12:58. | :13:11. | |
political hit in her home state. It's Mecklenburg-West Pomerania - | :13:12. | :13:15. | |
and Mrs Merkel's Christian But in second was the | :13:16. | :13:23. | |
far-right AfD party. And it is vehemently opposed | :13:24. | :13:31. | |
to Angela Merkel's policy of admitting over a million | :13:32. | :13:36. | |
refugees into Germany. Christian Democratic Union of | :13:37. | :13:42. | |
Germany stands for alternative for Germany. -- AfD stands for | :13:43. | :13:52. | |
alternative for Germany. TRANSLATION: I believe | :13:53. | :13:54. | |
that the decisions we have made in recent months are the correct | :13:55. | :13:56. | |
ones but we have a lot to do to win The topic of integration will play | :13:57. | :14:00. | |
a big role and the question of how to return refugees | :14:01. | :14:04. | |
who are not entitled to stay. On the one hand we have to live our | :14:05. | :14:06. | |
humanitarian responsibilities On the other hand we have to make | :14:07. | :14:12. | |
clear that those people who are not entitled to stay have | :14:13. | :14:17. | |
to leave the country. The AfD picked up 21% of votes | :14:18. | :14:19. | |
overall - Rostock is one city And Paul Adams has been speaking | :14:20. | :14:22. | |
to some its members there. The right-wing has been making | :14:23. | :14:41. | |
spectacular gains here in Germany in the last couple of years. I've come | :14:42. | :14:47. | |
to meet members of the AfD. They are leading this right-wing charge and | :14:48. | :14:51. | |
some people say they are a bunch of racists. I want to find out. | :14:52. | :15:07. | |
The AfD, Alternative for Germany, has only existed for three years. It | :15:08. | :15:15. | |
has attracted a lot of support for its anti-migrant, antiestablishment | :15:16. | :15:22. | |
Eurosceptic views. It plays on real fears about refugees and staunchly | :15:23. | :15:26. | |
defends Germany as a Christian state. This town has become one of | :15:27. | :15:30. | |
its strongholds. The problem is that is not our culture. | :15:31. | :15:58. | |
So if an area with a significant Muslim population said it was | :15:59. | :16:06. | |
disturbed by the sound of the bells humming from church on a Sunday, | :16:07. | :16:08. | |
would they have a point? Grandmother is the local candidate. | :16:09. | :16:39. | |
She is hoping for a big win and she's been having a busy morning. | :16:40. | :17:03. | |
From BBC News in England. I would like to talk to you about your | :17:04. | :17:06. | |
conversation. Some people say that this party and | :17:07. | :17:29. | |
the people who support it, like you, are racist. What do you feel when | :17:30. | :17:34. | |
you hear people say that? There is more information on the AfD | :17:35. | :17:54. | |
and the far right in Germany via the BBC online. We will return to the | :17:55. | :18:00. | |
issue of Brexit. One immediate impact of that choice to leave the | :18:01. | :18:04. | |
EU was the value of the pound fell. Last week, we saw how well that | :18:05. | :18:09. | |
worked for exporters. It seems it is also working well for foreign | :18:10. | :18:14. | |
property investors, particularly those looking at London. Mark Jordan | :18:15. | :18:21. | |
has investigated. Half the properties in prime central | :18:22. | :18:24. | |
London are already bought by foreigners. But this is Colindale, | :18:25. | :18:29. | |
zone for, and development aimed at first-time buyers. There is a new | :18:30. | :18:34. | |
cashrich customer on the block. As to date, we have 80% sold out. These | :18:35. | :18:41. | |
Hong Kongers eye up new investment. The dollar against the pound buys | :18:42. | :18:44. | |
them 15% more here than one year ago. Colindale is more profitable | :18:45. | :18:51. | |
now than Kensington. There are pockets of London that are still | :18:52. | :18:57. | |
heavily under soul. There is still value to be had. Another estate | :18:58. | :19:02. | |
agent reports a 1000% opposed Brexit surge in interest in foreign buyers. | :19:03. | :19:08. | |
Brexit is not the end of the world. This country has a secure and stable | :19:09. | :19:15. | |
system. Yes, it attracts the foreign investor to come here, like me. And | :19:16. | :19:21. | |
15% off! It is like a sail! What definitely, it is good. It is not on | :19:22. | :19:28. | |
sale to the English. They sit on their hands. I will continue to | :19:29. | :19:33. | |
invest in flats and rent out. Not content with a 15% currency gain, | :19:34. | :19:38. | |
foreign investors also avoid higher stamp duty in second-hand tax by | :19:39. | :19:42. | |
switching to these cheaper outer zones. They are coming in and buying | :19:43. | :19:46. | |
three or four small apartments in order not to have the stamp duty. | :19:47. | :19:51. | |
Let me explain. If an investor buys one tiny little flat in May Mayfair | :19:52. | :19:58. | |
for 1.5 million, the tax bill is ?138,000. But if instead he buys six | :19:59. | :20:05. | |
flat at a quarter of a million each somewhere cheaper in London, his | :20:06. | :20:11. | |
total tax is only ?60,000. That is a saving of ?78,000. He has more than | :20:12. | :20:21. | |
halved his tax bill. Taxation is comparatively simple and much lower | :20:22. | :20:27. | |
than other parts of the world. The public and London's mayor are | :20:28. | :20:30. | |
critical of foreign investors snapping up these homes, but | :20:31. | :20:34. | |
developers warn they are keeping the market afloat amid Brexit | :20:35. | :20:41. | |
uncertainty. If that sinks, so does the affordable housing. In the UK | :20:42. | :20:48. | |
and London in particular, they play a very vital role in underpinning | :20:49. | :20:52. | |
every development. A great hope of Brexit wouldn't that it would make | :20:53. | :20:56. | |
property more affordable. It has, but to foreigners. | :20:57. | :21:03. | |
The next report is from Berlin. The BBC's technology correspondent has | :21:04. | :21:08. | |
been there. This is about a company that produces sticky sensors that | :21:09. | :21:13. | |
you put all of your house and each sensor can perform a different task. | :21:14. | :21:16. | |
The company calls them peanuts. We hear a lot about the Internet of | :21:17. | :21:30. | |
things, but quite often it doesn't seem to mean anything to consumers. | :21:31. | :21:34. | |
This device is supposed to change that. You either founder of this | :21:35. | :21:38. | |
company. Explain what the peanuts does. Peanuts are very simple, | :21:39. | :21:44. | |
affordable and useful senses. Peanuts does one thing. This one | :21:45. | :21:49. | |
measures temperature it is a quiet as the monitor. You put it anywhere | :21:50. | :21:53. | |
your home or your office or your fridge or when you go camping. It | :21:54. | :21:58. | |
will send the data to your application. It will show the | :21:59. | :22:02. | |
temperature, current temperature and all the trends. Nobody cares or | :22:03. | :22:06. | |
understands about the Internet of things, but you hope they will | :22:07. | :22:10. | |
understand the peanuts. We think no one cares about the peanuts and the | :22:11. | :22:13. | |
Internet of things, but people want to take their pills on time, measure | :22:14. | :22:18. | |
the temperature or to have a good night's sleep. This is what peanuts | :22:19. | :22:22. | |
do. You buy something to solve a problem you have in your life. | :22:23. | :22:28. | |
There will be some people that have a specific issue and you can see how | :22:29. | :22:34. | |
this type of technology could work for them, but if you are talking | :22:35. | :22:39. | |
about the mass market, they don't buy technology for technology's | :22:40. | :22:44. | |
sake. They want items or solutions to make their life better or cheaper | :22:45. | :22:48. | |
and they will come in a bigger package where the technology is | :22:49. | :22:51. | |
hidden away from them. Don't know if you fancy that. From | :22:52. | :22:56. | |
high-tech to even more high-tech. We have exciting news from the European | :22:57. | :23:01. | |
-based agency. It has found the lander which landed on a comet in | :23:02. | :23:06. | |
2014. Quite quickly, the battery went down and that was the last we | :23:07. | :23:12. | |
heard of it until now. This is an image released today, taken by the | :23:13. | :23:15. | |
spacecraft which is orbiting the comet on which this land assets. You | :23:16. | :23:19. | |
can see it well, but it is just there. The Rosetta, the name of the | :23:20. | :23:24. | |
spacecraft which has had its own Twitter feed for a while, it managed | :23:25. | :23:29. | |
to get together a cartoon today to show how it imagined its little | :23:30. | :23:34. | |
sister doing. Cuddled up on the servers of the comet. You imagine it | :23:35. | :23:38. | |
is a bit more inhospitable than that. I have been speaking to | :23:39. | :23:42. | |
Jonathan Amos about what it has been doing. It has been lying in a ditch! | :23:43. | :23:47. | |
Amazing, really. We last saw the land as it was heading down to the | :23:48. | :23:53. | |
comet back in November 20 14. The Rosetta spacecraft dropped the probe | :23:54. | :23:56. | |
onto the comet. It took some pictures of it as it headed down and | :23:57. | :24:02. | |
then we thought it's landed, it did, but it bounced before it came to a | :24:03. | :24:07. | |
rest. It came to a rest in a dark ditch. That much we knew back in | :24:08. | :24:11. | |
2014 because we could see that the solar panels on the probe were not | :24:12. | :24:16. | |
being charged. That meant the sun was falling as solar panels. There | :24:17. | :24:20. | |
was a race to get the pictures and data off before the battery went | :24:21. | :24:24. | |
flat. The battery went flat and we have not known where it was. We have | :24:25. | :24:28. | |
only had some pictures down in the last 24 hours that have confirmed | :24:29. | :24:33. | |
its position. It is exciting to see, but in practical terms, does this | :24:34. | :24:38. | |
make any difference? No, it will help scientists but some of the data | :24:39. | :24:41. | |
it sends back in those 60 hours that it worked in better context. To be | :24:42. | :24:48. | |
honest, this is about emotional closure! If we can talk about | :24:49. | :24:55. | |
something as inanimate as a robot. I think people got caught up in the | :24:56. | :24:58. | |
story of this plucky little robot on the surface of a comet. They didn't | :24:59. | :25:03. | |
know where it had ended up. It ended up in this dark ditch and they | :25:04. | :25:06. | |
needed closure. We all did. We have it now with these pictures that show | :25:07. | :25:10. | |
which very clearly. There is no doubt that this is the lander on the | :25:11. | :25:18. | |
surface of Comet 67p. I am looking at tweets from the Rosetta | :25:19. | :25:21. | |
spacecraft. It says, my mission is ending later this month and it is | :25:22. | :25:26. | |
using a hashtag, landing. What is planned for the spacecraft? They | :25:27. | :25:29. | |
have a choice, the European Space Agency. The comet it is circling is | :25:30. | :25:34. | |
heading out of the solar system and therefore the amount of sunlight | :25:35. | :25:41. | |
falling on the Rosetta panels is falling. They would have to put it | :25:42. | :25:44. | |
in hibernation for when it comes back round to the sun. They don't | :25:45. | :25:47. | |
think it will be working them. They will take the grand chance of trying | :25:48. | :25:51. | |
to land on the comet itself to take Rosetta down. It will be a crash | :25:52. | :25:56. | |
landing, it. Working as soon as it touches the service. Solar panels | :25:57. | :25:59. | |
will break off and other bits will break off. It will allow them to get | :26:00. | :26:05. | |
some close data and it will bring a marvellous end to this extraordinary | :26:06. | :26:08. | |
mission. I will be back in a couple of | :26:09. | :26:09. |
