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

We've Jeremy Bowen report from Aleppo.

The World Anti-Doping Agency has said they have been attacked

Confidential information on Olympic athletes has been made public.

This is how the Chinese police have responded to a community's

protests over the arrest of their elected leader.

The men's 1500m at the Paralympics was so extraordinary

you have to double check you saw it correctly.

The top four all went faster than the winner

We're a day into the ceasefire in Syria

This may offer a rare opportunity to get aid

When the UN is satisfied the ceasefire can be trusted,

it will start moving supplies from Turkey into the city.

We know some trucks have already started, we're not sure

Sebastian Usher's been helping me with this.

20 trucks today and 20 later. They have been delivered to another part

of the country. The Turks have said they will go to Aleppo. They haven't

said whether they are going now. It will be a different route. They will

be coming not from the North. They are coming over to the west of

Aleppo. The Syrian government have said they will not allow any trucks

but it is the Turks' own initiative. The UN is looking for assurances

that if it goes into Syria, it will be safe. It needs guarantees from

the fight is on the ground who say we haven't received the convoys and

they will not come under attack. Russian troops have been used to

deploy along the main supply route into the rebel held side of Aleppo

in preparation for what is expected to be the start of the trucks coming

over from the north on the northern border in the morning tomorrow. We

will be hearing from the UN as we speak what is going on. Getting aid

to people who need it justifies the ceasefire but what is the grand idea

here that it can deliver? It is not entirely clear how far this is

supposed to go. Aid has been delayed. Without these guarantees,

it hasn't happened. This is supposed to build a 48 hours and then after

that week, the US and Russia will co-operate on hitting Islamic State

and other groups. The complicating factor is that including those

jihadists is the former Al-Qaeda group which was known as another. It

is closely entwined with the other rebel groups fighting in Aleppo.

Those rebel groups say they can't dissociate themselves.

We are hearing from the Russians almost trying to identify the US as

a problem saying there had been by lotions today which are by the rebel

groups and the US must use their influence to stop their clients from

this provocative act which will derail the whole process. We haven't

got the stage of a war of words but Russia is looking to put the blame

where they think it lies. This brokering by the US and Russia, it

might not last that long. The BBC's Middle East Editor Jeremy

Bowen is in the embattled northern city of Aleppo -

this is where UN officials are hoping to deliver aid to once

they get better guarantees of peace. They say a couple of dozen metres

from rebel positions and this is - was - one of the oldest covered

market souks of Aleppo. Today, because of the ceasefire,

they tell me that things are quieter than they have been

because there has been fierce fighting over

the course of the summer. Certainly I was speaking to one

general and he said by about midday More if things have

really flared up. The question about this

ceasefire is, if it lasts, Will there be some kind of political

process built upon it that might inch this country away

from war towards peace? Or will it simply be,

as others have been, a time for armies to rest,

to regroup, to resupply and to get Of course, the damage

here is absolutely tragic. But, the loss of human life,

perhaps 400,000 dead in Syria, over more than five years,

that's much worse. You can't bring back all those

who've died in the country that used to be here -

the mix of people. Next we will turn to China. This is

a police raid on one village there. This is one of many homes that were

raided. There have been a number

of protests over the jailing And the authorities had

had enough of that - the village appears to be

locked down at the moment. MAP Wukan is is in the south

of China - it's very unusual At times the police firing tear gas

and wearing armour are in full retreat. The footage which has not

been verified is being circulated by the residents of Wukan, the Chinese

town now synonymous with rebellion apparently in open revolt. One

officer can be seen throwing what looks to be a stun grenades. The

latest trouble is all about this man. Wukan Brazil -- village chief.

He has been paraded on state TV confessing to corruption and then

jailed last week. The southern Chinese fishing village first rose

up against the authorities five years ago over accusations that

corrupt Communist party officials were illegally selling land. In a

rare move, Wukan was allowed to stage elections. Relatively free

from party control. The village was held up as a possible model for

wider political reform. Not any longer. This year in their belief

their leader had been taken down, the villagers began protesting

again. And now, beginning with these dawn raids, the authorities have

made their move. An apparent signal that Wukan's experiment is well and

truly over. Germany police have arrested three

Syrian migrants on suspicion of preparing attacks

for the Islamic State group. The men are between

17 and 26 years old and they were picked up

in pre-dawn raids in the states of Schleswig-Holstein and Lower

Saxony. The authorities are also saying

these men appear to have been smuggled to Europe through some

of the same channels that were used Jenny Hill's covering this

from Berlin. The security services are

investigating. They have recovered material and among the bits and

pieces found were mobile phones preloaded with communication apps.

We know the phones are going to form a big part of the investigation as

the security services try to get more information about these three

men. We know the security services tell us one of the men had some kind

of weapon's training with Intel's -- Islamic State. We know the man came

into Germany towards the end of last year and they came through the

so-called Balkans route. This has caused a great deal of consternation

in Germany. The security services are congratulating themselves on a

job well done. They have interrupted these people at a stage before they

had got to putting anything concrete together in terms of a terror

attack. On the other hand, Germany is really nervous at the moment.

There is a real public mood of concern about domestic security and

I suspect these arrests, the acknowledgement that IS are using

the refugee crisis to infiltrate Europe and Germany will cause

significant public concern. I think Angela Merkel, her government has

been trying to reassure the public that it is allowing refugees into

the country, that they haven't endangered German citizens. They

will have to work hard to reassure them now, I think. I will tell you

about some personal details about other big Olympians. We will talk

about that and the new ?5 note here in the UK. It is the biggest change

to UK change in a generation. We will tell you what is special about

this fiver. Here, sees could be cut to reduce

constituencies in England and Wales. Norman Smith explained how MPs have

reacted to the announcement. These proposals have only just been

published but already huge backlash on many MPs. Not just those 50 or so

who are in danger of losing their seats. Labour have expressed their

complete opposition because these changes would hurt them. They would

lose 25 MPs. It makes their task at the next election ever more

daunting. Even those MPs who aren't affected are saying, hang on, why is

the House of Commons being cut by 50 when the House of Lords, where more

peers are still being appointed, is going to be ugly -- completely

untouched and the amount of government ministers is going to be

untouched. Welcome back. Our lead story comes

from Syria where the ceasefire appears to be holding. The UN is

preparing to send aid into the hardest-hit areas, in particular,

Aleppo. Some of the new service -- BBC World Service stories. Mr Peres

from Israel is in an induced coma. The US has flown to bombers over

South Korea in a show of force following North Korea's latest

nuclear test. BBC Chinese has that story. This is a cargo plane sliding

down a runway in Indonesia. The problem appears to be that the

landing gear is not down. There were no casualties. You can see the clip

on the BBC News app. The Bank of England has

a bond-buying scheme - the idea is that it will help

stimulate economic growth. And Apple has been added to the list

of companies which qualify for this. Sebastian Crispin from BBC Business

came by to explain in more detail The Bank of England arranged

initiatives at stimulating the UK's economy. They were lowering rates to

record lows. They announced with the policy of the Bank of England going

out and buying company debt. The way this would work if the Bank of

England would go to the market, give bond investors cash and those bond

investors would spend their money elsewhere with a view to stimulating

growth and creating jobs. This week, what the Bank of England did, is a

published list of the companies included in this bond buying

programme and some critics have raised questions about the companies

whose names appeared on that list. What is the criteria for a company

to make it onto the list. Most of the companies are British or

they are based in the UK. There is scope for foreign companies to be

involved. The Bank of England says they have to make a material

contribution to the British economy and there are various criteria.

Family jobs they create in the UK or how much revenue they generate. The

question is why has the Bank of England decided to include some of

these companies that critics are saying not the sort of people you

should be supporting? Can you give us some examples?

Apple and Mac doors have been included in the list. They have had

questions raised about their tax affairs. -- McDonald's. They find

Apple 30 billion euros because it said the company would challenge

properties -- profits away from island to reduce the tax bill. There

are questions about why the Bank of England should be benefiting

companies that have questionable tax policies. Other companies are

raising questions. This is a British policy to support the British

economy. Some people are saying why should the US telecoms giant bee on

that list when they don't have an impact in the UK? The Bank of

England would say the small number of foreign companies that we have

have material impact on the UK economy. Some ASCII and whether

those other right and pulleys to include.

The Bank of England story has introducing its first

This is the biggest change to UK currency change in a generation.

It's more difficult to copy, and it's waterproof and very

Introduced into circulation today. This is coming our way in the next

few weeks and months. Now to a subject we talk about a lot.

Self-driving cars are relentlessly in the news at the moment.

Ford says it will have a mass-produced self-driving car

Michelle Fleury's been to its test site.

I will be your test engineer. It will drive autonomously with a

safety driver. It will be driving through this campus. It is not

staged. People are doing what they do and drivers are doing what they

do. That is the level of capability we have right now. Ford is keen to

prove it can do anything silicon Valley can. Buber is launching a

taxi service in Pittsburgh any day now. It feels like being a passenger

in an ordinary car. I can tell the difference. Light beams and cameras

are used to read the environment around the car. There is a truck in

front. We are slowing down. There is also a stop sign. You promise your

foot wasn't on the break? I wouldn't call it a wild thing but that is the

thing you talk about when you're driving -- talking about driverless

cars. The issue has come under fire after a person was killed using the

feature. Part of their technology is moving faster than the rules can be

written. The thing I was wondering is, is the idea that in the end, all

cars are driven without the driver having much input? It depends who

you talk to. The idea is there would be a mix. It wouldn't necessarily be

appropriate in all environments. When you look at Metropolitan,

urban, densely populated areas where congestion will be an issue, that is

part of the solution that car companies, technology companies

envisage. The other thing they continually raise when you talk to

them about why the self driving car? They point out that a lot of

accidents happen because of the drivers and that if you could remove

that human element, this could potentially improve safety overall

on the roads. We are not yet fair and nowhere near there yet. When we

get to this point in ten years when Ford is selling this, -- car, it

would be expensive. Ford is talking about having a mass-market vehicle

in no sooner than ten years. Whether or not that technology is applicable

in any market remains to be seen. When we went for our test drive, it

was on the campus. The average speed limit was 20 mph. It had to deal

with people walking out onto the street. A much less complicated

environment than highways, big cities. As for the cost, the goal of

companies like Ford, like General Motors and others rushing to develop

a driverless car is to keep prices down. If you want to see the higher

end of you have tears lower on the road and it has had to issue an

updated software fix because of the accident. There is some form of

autonomous driving already out there on the market. Thank you. I am sure

we will talk about this again. The World Anti-Doping Agency -

Wada - has been hacked. Confidential medical files

relating to Serena Williams, and gymnast Simone Biles

have been leaked. And A group of Russian hackers

calling itself Fancy Bears Russian government spokesman

Dmitry Peskov was quick to respond. Saying it is out of question

that the Kremlin or secret services The context to all of this that

Russia's track and field team were banned from

the Rio Olympics over an alleged Damian, give us more details. The

athletes affected include Venus and Serena Williams. A group calling

itself Fancy Bears have claimed responsibility. They accessed files

which contain details of legitimate medication. Wada said the cyber

attacks were an attempt to undermine the global anti-doping system.

Russian government systems said it was out of the question that the

Secret Service was involved in the hacking. They recall Russia's track

and field team were banned from the Rio Olympics because of alleged

backdating drug problem. This isn't the first search incident of its

type. The developments will help -- will not help the confidence of the

international sporting community. Doping chiefs said they called it

despicable and said in each of the situations, the athlete has done

everything right in doing to the rights to use immediate medication.

Fancy Bears have pledged to release other confidential records from

other teams. Now a report from John Sweeney.

It's about a surgeon in London who is advising surgeons in Aleppo

Underground and the siege, an operating theatre in Aleppo. This is

what it looks like when a man has his jaw blown off. In rebel held

Syria, being a doctor is a dangerous game. 754 doctors have been killed

in the North of Syria since the conflict started in 2011. It

suggested this was a medic or a patient in the hospital and it is

the worst place you can be in. Hospitals are targeted. Mohammed was

hit by a Russian bomb which also killed two of his friends. They have

never done a jaw reconstruction before but if they don't, the

chances for this father of three are slim. David is a London surgeon who

went to Aleppo two years ago to train surgeons. Now his former

students have asked him to direct the jaw operation via Skype. This is

one of the most exciting things I have done. Being able to direct

surgeons who I have trained. I trained them when I was there. They

know me and have confidence in me that I know them and have confidence

in them. We believe this is a world first, a sultry stick being used to

transform -- transport a surgeon in London into a basement hospital in a

besieged city. I want you to take an incision which goes to take the

muscle. Make an incision laterally below the nipple to start to

mobilise the muscle. The challenge is the doctors are young and stop

they are inexperienced. This is the muscle and this is the muscle which

has an archery that comes off. This was never about just saving the life

of one man. Now the doctors in Aleppo know the technique, they can

operate on other patients. It is also about reminding them and their

patients that the world has not quite forgotten Aleppo. I will be

back with you in a couple of minutes time.

There is a lot of heat and energy in the atmosphere at
