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

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

At the UN general assembly there's been widespread comdemnation of

an attack on a UN aid convoy near Aleppo.

Russia and Syria have both denied that their air forces

One of the key aims of the meeting in New York

is to try to find a solution to the migrant crisis.

President Obama is leading calls for more help.

Meanwhile theres been unrest at a migrant camp on a Greek island.

And Hillary Clinton is struggling to get the support of milllanials.

I'll be talking to a Daily Beast journalist who thinks he knows why.

And in the fire in Syria, the US believes two Russian planes carried

out an air strike on the aid convoy. A US official is pointing the finger

and saying to Russian jets carried out this attack. We must emphasise

that the Russians have come out and said that neither Russian jets nor

Syrian jets were involved in this. This is absolutely had nothing to do

with the Russian air force or the Syrian air force and they pointed to

a rebel attack in Aleppo and saying perhaps this was an attack from the

rebels. The US are directly saying it was Russia. If we get Russian

reaction, I will bring that to you straightaway. One of the many

consequences of the Syrian conflict is the global refugee crisis. Many

have had to leave their homes and issue of the migrant crisis is

taking centre stage at the UN. than 65 million people around

the world have been forced And 80 percent of refugees

are settled in developing countries Well we're told that 45

countries are expected to increase the aid their giving

on this issue to the tune That's in part due to pressure

from President Obama. He has been pushing hard on this

issue today. I believe that at this moment we all face a choice. We can

choose to press forward with a better model of cooperation and

integration all we can retreat into a world sharply divided and

ultimately in conflict along age-old lines of race and tribe and

religion. Our correspondent Laura

Trevelyan is in New York. We have seen a number of world

leaders speak in the last few hours, is it possible to pick out any

themes, any big issues they are collectively addressing? There is no

doubt that Syria is hanging over all the addresses and that was before

the apparent bombing of that humanitarian aid convoy that

happened. The question of how to resolve what is happening in Syria

and how that could then prevent this proliferation of movement in the

world, unprecedented since the end of the Second World War, these are

the interlinked themes and world leaders are confronted with the

complete failure of their efforts so far with this US - Russia ceasefire

deal just over a week old, apparently now shattered, the

bombing of the convoy, the world leaders doing their best to be seen

to do the right thing. President Obama in his final address to the UN

General Assembly and now today as he hosts this UN is such on refugees --

this summit on refugees, begs the world not to turn its back. The US

has settled 10,000 refugees and the Canadians who in four-month time

resettle 20 5000. The US has said it will resettle 110,000 refugees in

the coming year. -- 25,000. Obama is pleading with the world to do what

is morally right and not turn its back on refugees. Mr Obama will be

departing the stage sooner rather than later, so we'll Ban Ki-Moon, I

cannot recall seeing him so obviously angry in public. -- so

will. Carry on, we lost you for a moment, but carry on. You are

absolutely right, he is normally softly spoken. When I interviewed

him ten years ago when he first became UN Secretary General, he said

that would be the way that he would conduct business, he would give it

through quiet diplomacy. But he was clearly so upset this morning about

the targeting of the convoy and it came through in his remarks. UN

officials I have been speaking to here with a was this deliberate?

United Nations gives the Quarterman 's of you have -- gives the

Quarterman 's of the convoy to the Russians, the US said they would not

hit it. One official said we have run out of words to describe Syria.

I am glad we managed to get you back. Let me pull up that copy

again. The Americans are now explicitly accusing the Russians of

having attacked that aid convoy near to the city of Aleppo. The Russians

are completely denying this. We are talking about the migrant crisis and

grease is it experiencing it much more than most.

Let's bring you up to date on a large fire

at a migrant camp on the Greek island Lesbos.

Around 4,000 migrants had to evacuate.

Lesbos is one of a number of Greek islands where migrants arrive

This fire was at the Moira camp.

The fire broke out in the centre of this migrant camp.

You can still see some of the blackened trees

But a lot of the damage has already been cleared up.

Many refugees and residents have returned here already but some talk

about how their documents and personal possessions

They say that there was fighting here on Monday,

and different communities blame each other.

But what it comes down to really is the combination

By many people who have been stuck here.

Some of their applications for asylum have taken months to process.

They feel cooped up here and without any prospect at all.

They say they are lacking support from the Greek government

as they are held here in no man's land.

There is anger in some communities here on the island of Lesbos.

There is frustration that the migrant crisis

Some far right groups are exploiting the situation

The fear is as the doors to the Balkans remain closed

and settling migrants in Turkey appears to have collapsed

then new arrivals in Lesbos and other Greek islands as well

The European migrant crisis shows no sign of going away.

We are learning more and more about Pep Guardiola's

Already in his short time at Manchester City he's forced out

England's goalkeeper Joe Hart - and now it's Yaya Toure's

Toure's agent says Guardiola is "humiliating a great player"

I cannot accent like the coach, every manager, when he does not play

his player, he goes to the media and speak and speak and speak. It

depends, if he loves me, show me and make an apology to Manchester City

and what he did. A manager has to make the players his job and

trainers his job and today the managers believe they are more than

they are. Until he does not speak, Yaya Toure will not play. An apology

from Yaya Toure's agent otherwise Yaya Toure will not play again. He

says: Toure has made only one appearance

for City this season. clearly that is causing some ups

that. Damian Johnson joins me

from the BBC Sport Centre. My goodness. He makes things pretty

clear when he makes his mind up. He is absolutely ruthless. We have seen

this down the years, massively successful at Barcelona, had no

qualms about getting rid of players like Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Samuel

at oh. More recently as June signed striker -- more recently

Schweinsteiger was sold from Barcelona. Joe Hart is off on loan

to to renounce. Yaya Toure, his legs are not carrying him to the places

where there used to in the old days and hence is fallout with the agent.

The slightly odd thing is that Yaya Toure has announced his

international retirement while this is all going on. That is a

coincidence. He is a legend in the Ivory Coast, he won the African cup

of Nations, that country being a bridesmaid in that international

tournament, a big figure over there. It is hard to see what the future

holds for him. He may go to America. There is big money in Chinese

football, and expanding league over there. You do not have to be so

nimble on your feet any more to make a success of going over there, you

trade on your name, as a result you get big money. Thank you. I spotted

this in the Guardian: . We will see who comes out on top.

You suspect it will be Pep Guardiola. If you were anywhere on

the BBC's board website, you cannot have missed these pictures of the

triathlon stars Alistair and Jonny Brownlee in the final world series

in Mexico. It was in Mexico -

and as Jonny came close to collapse, his brother

helped him over the line. They've both been

speaking to the BBC. He is losing his sense of direction,

this is worrying. Goodness me. It all fell apart with the last

kilometre and a half, my legs got wobbly, getting around the last few

bands and thinking I will not make it to the finish line. I remember

the steward grabbing a bit and Alistair coming past me and saying

come on, you can make it and a few other words as well. I was just

thinking, what an idiot, he could have won this race so easily. He is

being tactically ridiculous. It serves him right really. I have been

telling him all week, you can win the race at the end, jog round easy.

That was my first reaction. Jonny can hardly stand and Alistair is

having to push him home for second. My last memory is getting thrown

down on the finishing line and getting carried off. The last 200

metres seemed to take a long time. It was literally a spur of the

moment decision just to do the right thing and when I was sat for an hour

after the race, literally it is getting dark and I thought did I do

the right thing here? Obviously, I will be thankful for the rest of my

life. If he can remember it! No, Alistair is a competitor and he

would have wanted to come second in that race and he had the chance to

do that. I had the chance to win! Of course! He threw that way to help me

and it takes a strong and good person to do that and all I can do

is say you. You can find that on the BBC sport app. A number of people

are saying that younger voters are not turning to Hillary Clinton. We

have from Washington, DC to help us understand why. Here in the UK the

Liberal Democrat leader has appealed to Labour members to join his party

to stop the Conservatives winning the next election. Tim Barron

demanded another referendum on the final deal that is negotiated

between the UK and European Union. -- Farron.

They went from coalition to catastrophe and the Liberal

Democrats opinion poll rating is still stuck in single figures, but

Tim Barron says he is determined to fight for a Britain that is open,

and tolerant. He believes that Labour's inviting gives him a huge

opportunity. There is a hole in the centre of British politics right now

that is crying out to be filled by a real opposition and we will stand up

to the Conservative Brexit government. If Labour will not be

the opposition Britain needs, then we well. He promised a second EU

referendum, this time on the terms of the Brexit deal and he laid into

Jeremy Corbyn describing him as on fit the government. In a clear pitch

for disillusioned Labour voters he even praised Tony Blair for

introducing the minimum wage, putting money into schools and

hospitals. I criticise him a lot, but I will not criticise him for

those things, I admire those things. He made a direct appeal to Labour

members. Joining the Liberal Democrats today is a risk, it is a

big ask, but as we stand on the edge of those two horrific realities,

Brexit and a Tory stranglehold on Britain, the biggest risk is that

you do not join us. Tim Farron's team says his message is bold and

ambitious and thousands of joined the party in recent months. With

Labour so divided and millions upset at a Brexit vote, there is little

sign that the Liberal Democrats are reaping the rewards. But his

audience is upbeat about the party's prospects. We winning council seats,

there is a centre ground we can move into, we have done it before and we

can do it again. Amazing the support on the doorstep, it is fantastic,

the sky is the limit, we can do anything. Tim Farron has vowed to

bring them to importance, even this crowd think it will be a tough task.

-- bring them from irrelevance to importance.

This is Outside Source live from the BBC newsroom.

the UN has offered a stinging rebuke to after the attack

The UN Secretary General says the regime in Damascus

is responsible for the majority of civilian deaths.

The Americans are now saying they think the Russians are responsible

and the Russians are denying it. This is an article

on the Daily Beast: Blame Millennials for President

Trump. The article claims younger voters

aren't getting behind Mrs Clinton. It says, 26% of voters

aged 18-29 say they will vote for Johnson,

10 percent back Stein. That's Gary Johnson

of the Libertarian party - the man who didn't know

what or where Aleppo was - I'm joined by James Kirchick

of the Daily Beast. He is in Washington, DC. When you

say the millennial 's are not supporting Hillary Clinton, you are

not suggesting they are supporting Donald Trump? No, if you look at the

poll numbers, millennial 's do not like Donald Trump, they find him to

be racist, ignorant and unqualified to be president of the to dates.

They are not pro-Trump, but they have a moral equivalence between

Clinton and Trump where they do not see much difference between the two

which is why you see so many of them saying they will vote for Gary

Johnson or Jill Steyn. Does this play into the fact that many people

supported Bernie Sanders as an alternative to mainstream politics

and now they are not listening to his advice to get behind this is

Clinton? Yes, a lot of millennial 's do not like Hillary Clinton for a

lot of reasons that voters don't, she is a blast from the past and

they tend to be more liberal than her, they hold her support of the

Iraq war against her, but frankly this is an unprecedented election

here in the US. We have a racist authoritarian conspiracy theorist as

a candidate for one of the two major political parties and whatever

problems you have with Hillary Clinton, I think it is absurd to

draw moral comparison between the two and millenials need to suck it

up and get out and vote for her. Explain this to viewers in the UK

and around the world, Barack Obama polled well with younger voters, why

has that not translated into a general enthusiasm for mainstream

politics? Hillary Clinton is viewed as a centrist, not a progressive,

she is not perceived as being as left wing as President Obama. She is

associated with the views of her husband Bill Clinton who ruled from

the centre left. I also think there is a historical ignorance among my

generation, millenials, there is a disturbing poll that said only 31%

of Americans born in the 1980s believe that living in a democracy

is essential. We are lucky as millenials, we have no personal

experience of dictatorship or authoritarianism and when we look at

Donald Trump we see a silly, reality TV show host, as opposed to a proto-

authoritarian. There is more of a taboo in so continental Europe

against far right politics. They take it more seriously there. Here

in America this is not something we have really dealt with. Having

someone who is speaking out so frequently against the basic

constitutional liberal values of this country. It is so foreign to us

that many millennial 's do not know what to make of it. Thank you for

explaining it to us and all of you watching if you want to read his

journalism and the article on millenials and the Clinton campaign,

you can find it on the daily beast website. We are hearing from Lee as

he is covering the election. Yesterday we plagiarised report from

Minnesota and today he comes from Fargo in North Dakota.

We are hearing Fargo to talk about what continues to be an incredibly

contentious topic, one where it does not matter who is in the White

House, but who they then decided to serve in the Supreme Court to make

the laws and that is abortion. Once a week, the day of abortions happen,

protesters gather outside the clinic, the only abortion clinic in

the state of North Dakota. This is a civil rights issue of our day, it

has to do with the death of innocent human persons that is legal here in

our country. All of the other liberties that we have in life, all

of the other things mean nothing to a dead person, do they? Every time

one of the patients turned up, the anti-abortion protesters followed

and intimidated her making comments along the way. It is hard, because

by the time they get here, their mind is made up, it is a last-ditch

effort. If we can offer them a pint word or a smile or the offer to pray

for them... Those in blue vest is protect the patients from

harassment. The surgeries come at risk from closure from local

politicians and that threat has been averted for now, but when the

political risk for abortion clinics receives locally and nationally,

anti-abortion myths resort to other measures. The protest has really

stepped up in the last few years, really since Obama became president.

There is more intimidation, harassment at clinics and so the

violence level has amp up. Some advocates for a woman's right to

choose whether they have an abortion like Tammy said the levels of

provision and the number of clinics are now greatly inadequate.

We will hear from Lee again tomorrow on this programme. We were talking

about a new ceasefire in Syria that had been brokered by the Americans

and the Russians, today we are talking about the Americans accusing

the Russians of attacking the UN aid convoy in Syria's and the Russians

saying categorically that is not true. That story will develop in the

next 24 hours and we will have coverage on it on this programme.

Thank you for watching.
