Hello, I'm Ros Atkins, this is Outside Source.

Let's look through some of the main stories here in the BBC Newsroom.

Brexit was one of the main topics on the final day

Theresa May said several countries were interested

in trade deals with the UK, but she rejected an Australia-style

In Calais truck drivers have been protesting,

and calling for the Jungle migrant camp to be closed.

We'll be live in Washington in a moment.

We will be keeping a close eye on Ohio because Donald Trump and

Hillary Clinton are both their and this is the beginning of the running

traditionally for polling day in the US.

But as with many things, this election is proving quite different.

And in sport Kosovo's football team is playing its first ever

And President Obama has commented on the NFL player who refused

Traditionally this is seen as the moment when the dynamics

of a presidential election become clear - and the candidates

Well, they're certainly pushing hard.

Hillary Clinton is just coming off her playing with her message

stronger together emblazoned across the side of it and tolerant --

Donald Trump is also in Hayek, that has picked the winner in every US

presidential election since 1960 and over public has ever become

president without winning a higher dose of this is a good one to win.

Let us bring Gary O'Donoghue in. Let us have a lesson here. I cannot move

for articles explaining why Ohio is so important. Why is it so iconic

and why is it not playing the same role this time?

It really marks the end of summer here and the moment where everyone

draws breath and they realise that there are just 64 days to go until

the general election and this is the beginning of the big final push. A

big tour of the swing states and Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump

both have planes on the tarmac at the same time in Cleveland today,

jostling for position in the great bellwether state. They will also be

in Pennsylvania and Michigan are places like Florida as well,

Missouri, out west as well, all battling for these swing states

because those are the places where the election is won and lost and

given that the polls are close, pretty close, a matter of a few

points apart, and still everything to play for. That is why this is

seen as a really big day in the electoral calendar and in a sense it

is the moment where the American people really start to sit up and

take notice. This is where mines are really beginning to get focused.

Are we starting to get a really clear idea of the core messages each

candidate wants to get across? It is interesting because both

candidates suffer from a similar problem. They are both not very

popular. Hillary Clinton's favourability ratings are pretty

poor and Donald Trump 's are slightly worse than her. What both

candidates are trying to do is focus all of their attention on the other

one, say what is wrong with the other one, so we are getting these

strange accessions and rallies where Hillary Clinton is just talking

about Donald Trump and Donald Trump is just talking about Hillary

Clinton. That is the way they think they can galvanise their supporters

out to get them really angry and motivated to vote against the other

person as much as for them. I saw Donald Trump tweet earlier

that he will be appearing in all three televised debates with Hillary

Clinton so I am surprised there was any doubt.

I don't think there was ever any real doubt, there is centrepieces of

the campaign. The evidence is mixed on whether or not they moved the

needle really in any special way, but they do suck up a lot of the

oxygen, a lot of column inches and time on broadcasters are spent

analysing those debates said there was never any chance that he

wouldn't show up because he would not want anyone to turn round and

say he was joking. Thank you very much. Gary is right,

it is not very often those debates change those views but remember what

happened to Marco Rubio when Chris Christie went after him and one of

those TV debate so they can make a difference. Now time for sport.

England started its 2018 World Cup qualifying campaign

Lots of countries trying to do the same right now.

For the first time ever, Kosovo is one of them.

Give us a quick lesson here in politics, diplomacy and history, how

have we come to this point? It has been a rather amazing day for

Kosovan football. Eight years after the former Serbian province declared

their independence they are currently facing Finland in a World

Cup qualifier, that is their first competitive match but just five

hours before kick-off Fifa had yet to declare six of their players

eligible but the confirmation did come eventually after requests from

those who had represented other countries wanted to switch to were

granted. Fifa said there was confusion over paperwork, that is

their excuse and the players have represented six other European

countries including Albania and Switzerland. They did not all opt

for the move but on the pitch it is going quite well for them at 1-1.

Best of luck to both teams. Runners through some of the other fixtures.

There are nine games all in the European qualifying zone tonight.

Big names. Wales are the world number 11 is having reached the

semifinals in the Euros and they are currently leaving 3-0 against

Moldova. Italy had a good European Championship and they Avenue boss in

charge and they are currently leading Israel by 3-1. They want to

make it 52 games unbeaten in major tournament qualifying and you would

have to go back 23 years since Spain last lost a European qualifier and

they have a new boss as well. They are 8-0 up on Nixon Steyn, as you

can see at the bottom. -- licked on Steyn.

France, Netherlands and Portugal will be in action on Wednesday so

there is much more to come. I'm interested to see what the Dutch

do because they didn't even qualify for the Euros in the summer just

gone. You may well have seen

the controversy over the American footballer Colin Kaepernick choosing

not to stand for He did it last week,

and the week before to protest President Obama's entered

the discussion from the G20 summit. He is exercising his constitutional

right to make a statement. I think there is a long history of sports

figures doing so. I think there are a of ways you can do it as a gentle

matter, when it comes to the flag and the national anthem and the

meaning that it holds for men and women in uniform and those who

fought for us. That is a tough thing for them to get past, to then hear

what his deeper concerns are, but I don't doubt his sincerity based on

what I have heard and I think he cares about some real, legitimate

issues that have to be talked about and, if nothing else, what he has

done is he has generated more conversation around some topics that

need to be talked about. I should have pointed out a moment ago, that

you can see the player sitting down and making the protest was his

colleagues all stand up and put their hand on their heart. The story

has now moved on. A US soccer international has also

knelt during the anthem Megan Rapinoe explained,

Being a gay American, I know what it means to look

at the flag and not have it protect She also suggested that she wants

the conversation that President Obama was talking about a carry on

and she has certainly ensured that. And some motor racing news

for you now, because the US media company Liberty Media is set to take

control of Formula 1 That's the company that owns

Virgin Media in the UK, by the way. It's expected to make the first

of two payments on Tuesday, Auto Motor und Sport said the sale

has been confirmed by F1 chief Just one source on that at the

moment but it is looking increasingly likely that the deal

will go through. More sport as ever through the BBC

sports app. Alastair Leithead is the BBC's

Africa correspondent. His latest report is about an online

series that features a group of vigilantes who kidnap Kenyan

criminals and then ask viewers to vote on whether

they should live or die. It's doing so well it's

been nominated at the Carjacker, kidnapped by vigilantes.

His crimes broadcast online and the public asked to decide if he should

live or die. It is a gritty fictional drama shed on social

media, but in Kenya it is something new and something people really

associate with. This is the part where the first victim has been

caught... Jim is the film-maker who was inspired by what a Kenyan Batman

would look like if Nairobi was Gotham City. We have black Kenyans

and people who have done all of these things just walking around and

people who steal millions and then run for office a few years later --

a few months later, and Kenyans feel like they are I'm able to have a say

in that and their opinion doesn't count so I think this was

interesting for them to have an opinion that actually counts. The

vigilante 's next victim is a female church pastor accused of a hit and

run. The outcome in the show was the same. She has also put to death.

Interestingly a vote by those watching the show came to the same

verdict, perhaps because it mirrors real life in Nairobi. Every year a

huge number of Kenyans are killed outside of the judicial process,

often by police. Many people welcome it, saying it is criminals getting

their comeuppance, but the number of deaths has increased, particularly

under the umbrella of counterterrorism, and that impunity

is now affecting other parts of society. There was an outcry when a

human rights lawyer was killed along with a taxi driver and his client,

who was suing for police brutality. Four officers have been charged with

murder. When he died, the lawyer, it hit home with a segment of the

population that never really was affected by these killings.

Middle-class professionals, people who really wouldn't have a reason to

be the target of the police. Things are starting to reach a level where

people have to start to reflect. The web series is named after the

Swahili for we are watching and Kenyans certainly are, they are

discussing what things he really mean.

This is an hour of international news here from the BBC newsroom and

we have heard from Kenya and US and the UK and France.

There were really significant election results there over

the weekend, we'll talk about why it matters.

Ten weeks after the UK's historic vote to leave the European Union BBC

News has been taking a detailed look at Brexit Britain.

During the referendum campaign our reporter Simon Dedman

kept in touch with two women from Essex.

The sweet taste of British summer. Here you go, ladies, don't say I

never give you anything! Before the referendum we took Pauline who voted

leave and Emily who voted remain to Brussels to see how the EU really

worked. This time I have brought them to the place that some are

calling Brexit on sea because 70% voted leave.

What have you made of Brexit so far? I haven't noticed many changes on

day-to-day life except for the fact I was able to book a holiday after

the Brexit vote and it was cheaper than last year for the same hotel in

the same place. Cheaper even though the exchange rate has got worse? I

got a brilliant deal, ?97 per person each cheaper. Emily, how have you

found things after the vote? I have definitely noticed effects, our

imports, fertilisers have come up in price thanks to the devaluation but

our exports have become more competitive and the grain price has

gone up so that is good. If they are off to find out what other people

have made of the referendum aftermath. I think they should get

on with it. Michael and his daughter voted different ways. Michael told

them his sole reason for voting leave. Immigration. Taking our jobs.

I'm not racist or anything like that but I've noticed when they are all

coming over the wages went down. You think of the migrant crisis wasn't

as such a big thing do think you would have noticed it? Yes, I think

I would've done. Conversations over the future of our country will take

place over months and years because the Prime Minister is yet to tell us

exactly what Brexit means. We wait to see which direction Theresa May

takes the country. This is Outside Source live

from the BBC newsroom. Our lead story: At the G20 summit

in China Theresa May says several countries are interested in trade

deals with the UK, but she rules out an Australian style

immigration system. Let us see what is coming up after

Outside Source. If you're outside of the UK,

it's World News America next. It'll have more on the truck driver

protests in Calais that want the Jungle migrant

camp to be closed. Here in the UK, the

News at Ten is next. It has details of figures released

today which show the UK service sector has unexpectedly bounced back

from a post-Brexit slump. Services account for nearly

80% of the UK economy. Very welcome news about the giant

panda. Thanks to decades of work from conservationists it is no

longer an Endangered Species Act is now classified as vulnerable. The

latest figures we have on the panda population shows there are over 1800

adult giant pandas in the wild and conservation areas in China and

there have been a big jump, a rise in the panda population, in the ten

years up to 2014. This is Ian Valentine who is a fabulous job

title of director of pandas at Edinburgh zoo. Pandas are loved by

everybody around the world. It is an easily identifiable species and it

is something that everyone associates with conservation and it

is an animal everyone associates with China so it is an iconic

species so in the time that man has known it it has been enjoyed and it

is a diplomatic and political symbol as well between friendship between

two countries. In terms of conservation, yes, it is great news

that the numbers are growing, but, of course, we can't take our eye off

the ball and we know things can change quite dramatically. It is a

model species in terms of the way that the Chinese have adopted and

approach the project so it is holistic in that the wild and the

captive population are managed us once you have a lot of work to do in

the way of restoration and protecting the animals in the wild

but in the captivity and the breeding centres we learn more about

the biology in understanding why this animal is the way it is and

then we can take that science had applied to what is actually going on

in the wild said the two together come together and then, of course,

you have gene flow between the two populations now because in the last

few years the Chinese have been doing reintroduction worked with

some of the captive animals. Significant developments

in Hong Kong. At least four pro-democracy

activists have won seats And there was a record turn out

of 2.2 million. You can see this picture shared by a

South China morning Post reporter. This is four hours after the pull

shot but if you are in the line before the time the pull shot, then

you can stay on the line until you get a chance to vote and so many

people turned out that they had to wait for up to four hours to past --

cast their vote. Nonetheless they did and the result they have

delivered is giving everyone food for thought.

We must see all of this in the context of protests two years

ago when tens of thousands of young people took to the streets

Well, now that movement has some power, but in practical terms how

Helier Cheung here in the BBC newsroom's been helping me.

These are really significant elections and it is not only because

of the record turnout but also because we are seeing a new

generation of young pro-democracy activist taking political power for

the first time. How much power do they have? It is hard to say. We

need to remember that pro-Beijing parties have the majority of seats

in the legislative Council and that is partly because of the weight is

set and only 6% of the -- 60% of the seats are boated by the general

public but these young activists have more than one third of the

seats so they have veto powers over major legislation from the

government. In terms of what the Chinese can do

to influence what is happening in the Hong Kong, presumably that

remained as powerful an option as ever?

The Chinese reaction to the elections has been really

interesting in what they have said and what they have not said. China

is really opposed to independence from Hong Kong and it would do

anything to stop it and it has said today that it is opposed to any

sense of independence Bubba has not been covered much in Chinese media

and BBC world report on those elections was blacked out in China

today. China is certainly worried about the

elections. Tell us about the people from this generation who have some

power because there are charismatic leaders that emerged two years ago

and are they the same people who will now represent?

Yes, some of them are. Nathan Law is the person they are all talking

about today, he is 23 so will one of the leading -- youngest legislators

to whether serving Hong Kong. He is a known face because he was a

pro-democracy student leader who led the protests and he was convicted of

unlawful assembly only last month so he is not afraid to break the law.

Another person worth mentioning is Eddie Chong who ran as an

independent but he managed to get the biggest mandate of any

politician in Hong Kong and he got thousands of seats so he is someone

who thinks independence should be an option for home soap Beijing will be

worried. Scientists working in

the French Alps have just completed the first phase of a mission

to extract ice from some of the world's most rapidly

shrinking glaciers. They want to preserve the ice

in the hope it'll provide clues about the history

of the Earth's climate. Approaching a very high altitude

laboratory, this team of scientists is living and working on a glacier

because climate change is heating and changing the ice that they are

camped on. The team wants to rescue the information locked deep in the

ice before it disappears. Snowfalls will collect all the

impurities in the atmosphere and they will be deposited in the Colaci

so all of this information is stored in the Galatea like pages in the

book so when you call through the book you can read all the

information. This is a frozen library with layers locked inside

the ice. It is a record of our climate. This is coming up from a 30

metre depth and the team will cut it and move it into the tent and store

it in their freezer. So precious these samples that the team have dug

into the solid ice to build a story that will keep them cold. They won't

be long. You can see every box has six cores and they are ready to go.

This is the beginning of a very long journey for these guys cause, they

will be stored here in France for two years but their ultimate

destination is the world's most reliable freezer, Antarctica. The

idea of getting eyes from the Alps and transporting it to Antarctica

would sound very silly to people but it makes a lot of sense for us. Our

main will is to be able to store these ice cores from decades to

centuries and if we put them there they are in the safest position you

can think about. Many glaciers here in the Alps and all over the world

are changing, melting and retreating. This ambitious archive

aims to preserve particles, bubbles, even bacteria trapped in the deepest

and oldest ice, allowing future scientist to track our planet 's

past atmosphere and climate and help to protect its future.

And that is it for this edition of the programme, thank you for

watching. See you tomorrow. Hello. We may well be in

meteorological autumn but we have summery weather on the cards for

much of the week ahead. Temperatures are set to rise so things were

warmer for many of us. It will be
