hello, I'm Ros Atkins, welcome to outside source, in Aleppo at least | :00:13. | :00:21. | |
45 people have been killed in the most intense bombing in months, an | :00:22. | :00:26. | |
aid convoy has reached at least one Syrian town, the UN says getting to | :00:27. | :00:31. | |
Aleppo is almost impossible. President Assad blames the US. I | :00:32. | :00:37. | |
believe this is not genuine regarding the cessation of violence | :00:38. | :00:45. | |
this year. One boat loaded with migrants has collapsed of the | :00:46. | :00:49. | |
Egyptian coast, relief for the survivors although it is believed | :00:50. | :00:53. | |
hundreds have died, we will have a report from the region. This looks | :00:54. | :00:58. | |
like an important story, Yahoo has announced that 500 million of its | :00:59. | :01:04. | |
users had information stolen in 2014 and it may have been a | :01:05. | :01:08. | |
state-sponsored act. Safely in San Francisco is working on that. If you | :01:09. | :01:12. | |
have questions on any of our stories, these | :01:13. | :01:13. | |
B start with breaking news which has come to the BBC newsroom in the last | :01:14. | :01:44. | |
few moments, saying that the Syrian army has announced the start of a | :01:45. | :01:48. | |
new major offensive in rebel held eastern Aleppo and calls on | :01:49. | :01:54. | |
residents to avoid rebel outposts. There have been extraordinarily | :01:55. | :01:57. | |
heavy bombardment is in Aleppo. The Syrian army now says there will be | :01:58. | :02:01. | |
any major offensive in this part of the city. That very much confirms | :02:02. | :02:07. | |
what we have been saying for the last 48 hours, the ceasefire looks | :02:08. | :02:12. | |
to be completely over. President Assad of Syria will have been the | :02:13. | :02:17. | |
man who ordered that offensive. He has given array interview. In the | :02:18. | :02:21. | |
last five years he's been accused of orchestrating the Indus | :02:22. | :02:25. | |
indiscriminate bombing of civilians and the use of chemical weapons. He | :02:26. | :02:30. | |
denies this and denies any knowledge of that attack on a UN aid convoy on | :02:31. | :02:35. | |
Monday. He is pointing the figure at the Americans on that. The interview | :02:36. | :02:39. | |
was conducted by the APA news agency. This is some of that. | :02:40. | :02:48. | |
We would like to be committed to a ceasefire but it is not about silly | :02:49. | :02:57. | |
or Russia, it's about the United States and the groups that have been | :02:58. | :03:03. | |
affiliated to Isis. They announced publicly that they are not | :03:04. | :03:13. | |
committed. This started in February, last February, it did not work I | :03:14. | :03:17. | |
think because of the United States and I believe the United States is | :03:18. | :03:22. | |
not genuine, regarding having the cessation of violence this year. | :03:23. | :03:27. | |
There is one thing all sides can agree on, this ceasefire has just | :03:28. | :03:31. | |
about collapsed. This is footage of the bombardment of Aleppo that I was | :03:32. | :03:35. | |
mentioning. One of the most sustained attacks on the city for | :03:36. | :03:40. | |
months and it is reported that 45 people have lost their lives. | :03:41. | :03:43. | |
America's top military official has wade into this debate over who | :03:44. | :03:48. | |
carried out the attack on that UN aid convoy on Monday. General Joseph | :03:49. | :03:54. | |
Dunford says he has no doubt that the Russians are responsible, he | :03:55. | :03:58. | |
just doesn't know whose aircraft dropped the bomb. He is saying that | :03:59. | :04:03. | |
there are three air forces above Syria, the Syrian air force, the | :04:04. | :04:06. | |
Russian air force and the US led coalition. So it was one of those | :04:07. | :04:12. | |
three. He is saying it is not the American led coalition although he | :04:13. | :04:16. | |
is not sure which of the other two were responsible. Syria is still top | :04:17. | :04:19. | |
of the agenda at the United Nations as it has been all week. We can | :04:20. | :04:23. | |
speak to Laura Trevelyan from New York. You have a guest who can help | :04:24. | :04:31. | |
us understand how this issue is being approached? That's right, Ros, | :04:32. | :04:37. | |
this is a spokeswoman for the Syrian opposition. Right now, we have these | :04:38. | :04:42. | |
diplomatic talks going on in New York, John Kerry has met with | :04:43. | :04:47. | |
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, we are also hearing news | :04:48. | :04:51. | |
that the Syrian military has announced this offensive in eastern | :04:52. | :04:59. | |
Aleppo. What is your reaction. This shows that the regime is lying. You | :05:00. | :05:04. | |
can't just have an offensive about preparing for one, without having | :05:05. | :05:08. | |
the proper army and air coverage so you can't just come out all of a | :05:09. | :05:12. | |
sudden and say I'm trying to advance in Aleppo. It means the regime has | :05:13. | :05:16. | |
been preparing for weeks for this offensive and he's just buying time, | :05:17. | :05:20. | |
relying on the Russians to give him more time to do this ground | :05:21. | :05:27. | |
offensive. Where do you think that leaves the diplomacy? Is this US - | :05:28. | :05:32. | |
Russia ceasefire deal dead if there is a new Syrian military offensive | :05:33. | :05:37. | |
in rebel held eastern Aleppo? You can say this all goes back to the | :05:38. | :05:41. | |
USA and the Americans and they are meeting and putting pressure on the | :05:42. | :05:48. | |
other side. We talked about the grounding of the Syrian regime, that | :05:49. | :05:52. | |
would be an important step if Woods turned to actions so we need the US | :05:53. | :05:56. | |
leadership to come forward and pressure the Russians but so far | :05:57. | :06:01. | |
from all the meetings at the UN today nothing came out of them. | :06:02. | :06:06. | |
Sergey Lavrov is buying time from the United States and buying time | :06:07. | :06:10. | |
for the regime to prepare themselves to protect Aleppo because that is | :06:11. | :06:14. | |
all they want, to take Aleppo and advance in northern Syria. He | :06:15. | :06:19. | |
doesn't want a truce. He doesn't want a ceasefire. Do you get the | :06:20. | :06:23. | |
sense that people are waiting for the next US administration, the | :06:24. | :06:27. | |
clock is ticking on the Obama administration which will leave | :06:28. | :06:32. | |
office in January and what impact is that having on people on the ground? | :06:33. | :06:37. | |
Secretary John Kerry has some time to work on what he called for | :06:38. | :06:41. | |
yesterday, he requested the grounding of the Syrian regime and | :06:42. | :06:45. | |
holding them accountable, who will now react on this offensive? We lost | :06:46. | :06:51. | |
yesterday around 22 civilians since this morning. Who will be | :06:52. | :06:55. | |
responsible for this? So of course we are counting on the next | :06:56. | :07:00. | |
administration to have a proper foreign policy towards Syria but we | :07:01. | :07:03. | |
do hope Secretary Kerry in the remaining time will use that time to | :07:04. | :07:07. | |
work on a no-fly zone or at least the grounding of the Syrian regime. | :07:08. | :07:14. | |
You were at the Geneva peace talks which were about a transition to a | :07:15. | :07:21. | |
new form of government in Syria, with what you've heard about the | :07:22. | :07:24. | |
bombing and the new offensive in eastern Aleppo, what hopes still you | :07:25. | :07:29. | |
have of a peaceful solution? Absolutely we don't have a hope for | :07:30. | :07:35. | |
such regime. We hope again that the USA and our friends and allies will | :07:36. | :07:39. | |
step forward and take their responsibilities. They are the ones | :07:40. | :07:42. | |
who worked on the political solution. The political solution was | :07:43. | :07:49. | |
signed in Vienna with all the Syrian groups, they have to take their | :07:50. | :07:53. | |
responsibility. We hope that peace will come to Syria but it takes two | :07:54. | :07:58. | |
to tango. That is why we are looking for reliable partner to achieve that | :07:59. | :08:04. | |
piece. Thank you for joining us. That is the view from this | :08:05. | :08:08. | |
spokesperson for the Syrian opposition, she has been here all | :08:09. | :08:12. | |
week attending all these meetings, while the fighting on the ground is | :08:13. | :08:18. | |
apparently revived. The interesting thing listening to your guest is a | :08:19. | :08:21. | |
tacit acknowledgement that whatever the Syrian government or the | :08:22. | :08:25. | |
opposition once, it will be the Americans and the Russians who work | :08:26. | :08:29. | |
this one out. -- whatever the Syrians want. Particularly the | :08:30. | :08:34. | |
Russians because it is the Russians that have the leverage with | :08:35. | :08:38. | |
President Assad because one year ago they started this military operation | :08:39. | :08:43. | |
in support of Assad and he's acknowledged that it has made a | :08:44. | :08:47. | |
difference to him, it has enabled him to solidify, even advance his | :08:48. | :08:52. | |
position. So the question is, how involved to the Russians wish to get | :08:53. | :08:58. | |
in, as it were, keeping President Assad in this position? Are they | :08:59. | :09:01. | |
going to want to reach a stage where it looks like he's got the upper | :09:02. | :09:05. | |
hand and wants to negotiate what is going on? Big power politics and | :09:06. | :09:11. | |
that meeting going on right now the international Syria support group | :09:12. | :09:14. | |
and we help to hear from Sergey Lavrov, the Russian Prime Minister | :09:15. | :09:17. | |
and John Kerry when that meeting wraps up. It started about 40 | :09:18. | :09:21. | |
minutes ago. Thank you for all your reporting this week from the United | :09:22. | :09:27. | |
Nations. We started by looking at what is happening in Syria and in | :09:28. | :09:31. | |
New York. Now a devastating story off the coast of Egypt. A boat full | :09:32. | :09:36. | |
of migrants trying to reach Europe has capsized. We understand it was | :09:37. | :09:42. | |
12 kilometres out to sea. We know that rescuers have operated out of | :09:43. | :09:47. | |
Rosetta, Egypt, and survivors have told the BBC there were about 550 | :09:48. | :09:51. | |
people on board and hundreds of people are feared drowned. Hard to | :09:52. | :10:03. | |
confirm those numbers that all Geron the BBC has tried to find out what | :10:04. | :10:06. | |
happened. Reclaimed from the sea, | :10:07. | :10:22. | |
survivors of the latest tragedy Saved by the Egyptian military, | :10:23. | :10:24. | |
but taken into police custody. Some overwhelmed by exhaustion, | :10:25. | :10:28. | |
after up to 8 hours treading water, Most were young Egyptians from poor | :10:29. | :10:30. | |
communities, who told us they wanted They said more than 550 people | :10:31. | :10:35. | |
were crammed onto the boat. It was very small, | :10:36. | :10:46. | |
said Ahmed, who's 17. Before we capsized, | :10:47. | :10:48. | |
half the crew got away. Mohammed survived, but without his | :10:49. | :10:58. | |
cousin, who was just 14. TRANSLATION: May God have | :10:59. | :11:06. | |
mercy on him and all I was going to die, | :11:07. | :11:08. | |
but God helped me. Outside the police station, | :11:09. | :11:24. | |
anguish and anger. Some relatives complained | :11:25. | :11:37. | |
the authorities took hours to respond to distress signals | :11:38. | :11:38. | |
from the sinking boat. But then, what they'd | :11:39. | :11:41. | |
all been waiting for. The survivors are emerging now, | :11:42. | :11:47. | |
they've spent the night in custody. They're being reunited | :11:48. | :11:51. | |
with their families. Many of the relatives have been | :11:52. | :11:53. | |
maintaining a vigil here right through the night, | :11:54. | :11:56. | |
hoping against hope to get news Hoping that they were | :11:57. | :11:59. | |
not among the dead. This ten-year-old was carried out. | :12:00. | :12:11. | |
He set sail with his teenage cousins. They survived but his | :12:12. | :12:17. | |
eight-year old brother did not. He has barely spoken since he was | :12:18. | :12:30. | |
rescued. And this father, beyond words in his grave. Ahmed had just | :12:31. | :12:40. | |
found out his 16-year-old son is no longer among the living. One more | :12:41. | :12:47. | |
young man who died trying for a better life. Orla Guerin, BBC News, | :12:48. | :12:54. | |
Rosetta, Egypt. You can find that report with | :12:55. | :13:04. | |
further information on the migrant crisis online now. | :13:05. | :13:11. | |
We will go back to North Carolina where there is a state of emergency | :13:12. | :13:19. | |
in Charlotte, a second night of violence, demonstrators throwing | :13:20. | :13:22. | |
rocks at the police and the police in turn using standard grades. 44 | :13:23. | :13:27. | |
people were arrested and one person is in hospital, police say that | :13:28. | :13:33. | |
person was shot by a protester. This is a message from the governor of | :13:34. | :13:37. | |
North Carolina saying he has declared a state of emergency and | :13:38. | :13:40. | |
turned to the National Guard and Highway Patrol to assist with law | :13:41. | :13:46. | |
enforcement. We've heard from the mayor of the city. This is a clip of | :13:47. | :13:51. | |
what she has been saying. The safety and security of our community and | :13:52. | :13:57. | |
our law enforcement officers remains our top priority. Today our city is | :13:58. | :14:02. | |
open for business as usual and we let people come to our town, we are | :14:03. | :14:09. | |
here working, buses are running, we are here to serve in the city is | :14:10. | :14:16. | |
open. There's began with the police shooting dead Keith Lamont Scott, | :14:17. | :14:20. | |
the third black person to be shot dead this week by an American police | :14:21. | :14:29. | |
officer. The first was in Ohio, 113-year-old was shot after | :14:30. | :14:31. | |
allegedly pulling an air gun from his waistband steering arrest-1 | :14:32. | :14:38. | |
13-year-old. There was also a story from Tulsa in Oklahoma, a motorist | :14:39. | :14:46. | |
was shot and his sister has been talking to the BBC's world Have Your | :14:47. | :14:52. | |
Say programme. This is some of the interview. It was very disturbing to | :14:53. | :14:59. | |
hear the audio of the helicopter police, people that we pay to | :15:00. | :15:05. | |
protect and serve us, to prejudge my brother and say, he looks like a big | :15:06. | :15:10. | |
bed man, he just wasn't given a chance. He wasn't armed, -- big bad | :15:11. | :15:17. | |
man. He wasn't doing anything criminal, no weapons in the vehicle. | :15:18. | :15:22. | |
They approached him like he was bad. I am just heartbroken, I am | :15:23. | :15:27. | |
heartbroken. All three incidents will be investigated by the police. | :15:28. | :15:32. | |
One last thing, this is a project by the Guardian. It has begun | :15:33. | :15:37. | |
documenting every person killed by the police in America. So far this | :15:38. | :15:43. | |
year that has come to 790 people. To break them down by race 194 of those | :15:44. | :15:49. | |
people were black. That's 25% of those who died, 13% of America's | :15:50. | :15:55. | |
population is black so clearly the number of Black deaths is | :15:56. | :15:59. | |
disproportionately high. Get full details of those who have died and | :16:00. | :16:03. | |
who they were through the Guardian's website. In a while we will be live | :16:04. | :16:10. | |
in San Francisco to update you on an important story. Yahoo says 500 | :16:11. | :16:15. | |
million of its users, many of them watching now, will have had | :16:16. | :16:21. | |
information stolen in 2014. Dave legal map will tell us what was | :16:22. | :16:26. | |
stolen and who might have done it- Dave legal map. | :16:27. | :16:33. | |
100 days until Hull becomes city of culture, the artistic programme has | :16:34. | :16:39. | |
been unveiled and the organiser of the event is Martin Green. | :16:40. | :16:52. | |
It's called made in Halle, we've got an installation piece which is about | :16:53. | :17:02. | |
the past of the city and also performances by Woody Woodman C and | :17:03. | :17:08. | |
Tony Visconti from the Spiders from Mars, a new exhibition about the | :17:09. | :17:12. | |
work of transmissions from this city, many stories that hopefully | :17:13. | :17:15. | |
will bring it alive to people who might not have considered the city | :17:16. | :17:20. | |
before. This is a 365 day programme and we'll have something on every | :17:21. | :17:22. | |
day for 365 days. Welcome back, this is Outside | :17:23. | :17:44. | |
Source, a rebel held convoy has reached the first outside area of | :17:45. | :17:49. | |
Damascus, the first aid convoy since the ceasefire stopped and the | :17:50. | :17:56. | |
bombardment stopped the convoy reaching Aleppo. In Yemen Saudi led | :17:57. | :18:03. | |
air strikes killed 20 civilians in the rebel held city yesterday. We | :18:04. | :18:09. | |
reported from there, the city is cut off from aid supplies and people are | :18:10. | :18:13. | |
dying from money division. Australian authorities have cast | :18:14. | :18:19. | |
doubt on the theory that the missing flight from Rosie might have had a | :18:20. | :18:23. | |
fire on board before it went missing. If you look at the most red | :18:24. | :18:27. | |
list on the BBC website a new Disney film has drawn accolades and | :18:28. | :18:34. | |
criticisms. The accolades of the focus on Polynesian culture, yet | :18:35. | :18:37. | |
critics say it is cultural appropriation. | :18:38. | :18:47. | |
confirmed that hackers stole information from 500 million users | :18:48. | :18:53. | |
in 2014. It has been suggested that a state rather than a hacking group | :18:54. | :18:59. | |
is involved. Dave Lee is working on the story from San Francisco. Dave, | :19:00. | :19:05. | |
what kind of information was taken? Yahoo says it thinks a lot of | :19:06. | :19:10. | |
personal information was taken, names, addresses, dates of birth, | :19:11. | :19:14. | |
also security questions and answers like what is your mother 's maiden | :19:15. | :19:19. | |
name, that's been taken. Passwords were stolen although they have been | :19:20. | :19:23. | |
encrypted so that should be OK. And payment data like credit cards, but | :19:24. | :19:31. | |
has not been taken. The nature of some of the information is not as | :19:32. | :19:34. | |
drastic as it could be although the size of the bridge is troubling. Why | :19:35. | :19:41. | |
didn't they tell us two days ago? They say that they did not know two | :19:42. | :19:45. | |
years ago. They've been looking into this for some time. They said a | :19:46. | :19:50. | |
journalist came to Yahoo and said they had seen the information being | :19:51. | :19:55. | |
sold on the dark web. That's shady part of the Internet where many | :19:56. | :20:04. | |
deals are done. It all became public in August this year when that story | :20:05. | :20:08. | |
broke and it has taken until today for Yahoo to confirm the extent of | :20:09. | :20:13. | |
the bridge, they were at first said it was 200 million users and now | :20:14. | :20:16. | |
they have confirmed it is 500 million users. I've just spoken to a | :20:17. | :20:24. | |
company that bought Yahoo for a massive deal in July and they said | :20:25. | :20:28. | |
they've only heard about the breach in the last two days. So you do | :20:29. | :20:32. | |
wonder what impact that might have upon the purchase of Yahoo. People | :20:33. | :20:37. | |
will be watching in the UK who have accounts with Yahoo, watch and they | :20:38. | :20:42. | |
do? The usual advice, we've heard it so often, change your passwords, and | :20:43. | :20:48. | |
be vigilant for any suspicious e-mails that may appear to be from | :20:49. | :20:52. | |
Yahoo or indeed from anyone because they might be trying to get more | :20:53. | :20:57. | |
information from you. The main thing is, change your passwords. Thank | :20:58. | :21:03. | |
you, Dave, live from San Francisco. Back to the business coverage. We | :21:04. | :21:07. | |
have talked many times about the efforts to make a new trade deal | :21:08. | :21:11. | |
between the European Union and the US. At called a transatlantic trade | :21:12. | :21:15. | |
and investment partnership. Not very snappy. People call it TTIP. Last | :21:16. | :21:24. | |
month Germany's economic adviser said the process had failed and | :21:25. | :21:28. | |
nobody is admitting it. One more push is going on in Bratislava in | :21:29. | :21:32. | |
Slovakia and Rob Cameron from the BBC is there. | :21:33. | :21:39. | |
TTIP the deal with the US has been described as deadlocked, moribund, | :21:40. | :21:45. | |
that isn't just the media, these are words from the very highest | :21:46. | :21:49. | |
officials in Europe, especially in Germany and France. We are expecting | :21:50. | :21:54. | |
the French Trade Minister to table a motion for TTIP to be formally | :21:55. | :21:58. | |
paused in Bratislava. Will that happen? We'll have to wait and see. | :21:59. | :22:04. | |
This time last week I was in Bratislava with Outside Source, and | :22:05. | :22:09. | |
one big question was when the UK would trigger Article 50 and begin | :22:10. | :22:13. | |
the process of leaving the European Union. Boris Johnson, the UK Foreign | :22:14. | :22:18. | |
Secretary, has had this to say today. We are talking to our | :22:19. | :22:22. | |
European friends and partners in the expectation that by the early part | :22:23. | :22:26. | |
of next year you will see an Article 50 letter. This echoes what Donald | :22:27. | :22:32. | |
Tusk, the president of the European Council, said, that Theresa May and | :22:33. | :22:36. | |
intimated that this would be their favourite time to trigger Article | :22:37. | :22:40. | |
50. It doesn't mean that it will happen, although this is where the | :22:41. | :22:47. | |
mood music is at the moment. If I say Tim Horton 's, many of you may | :22:48. | :22:53. | |
well have blank faces, but not in Canada, it is part restaurant chain, | :22:54. | :22:58. | |
part Canadian institution, pot coffee and doughnut specialist and | :22:59. | :23:04. | |
it's coming to the UK. If this clip we are about to see has anything to | :23:05. | :23:08. | |
go by, we all have some learning to do! | :23:09. | :23:30. | |
Tim who? Horton? I haven't. I recognise the name. Isn't that food? | :23:31. | :23:51. | |
Is it? I don't know. I have no idea, I don't know. I'm assuming it's some | :23:52. | :23:53. | |
kind of Coffey shot? Know, I've no idea. Yes, Tim Hortons | :23:54. | :24:13. | |
doughnut things, yes. Samir Hussein joins us live from New York, as a | :24:14. | :24:17. | |
Canadian you are perfectly positioned to explain to the rest of | :24:18. | :24:23. | |
us what makes TTIP so special to all of you? Not only that, I could | :24:24. | :24:28. | |
answer any of those questions, I could tell you what a double double | :24:29. | :24:33. | |
is! I have had a double double but for me it is a bit too much cream | :24:34. | :24:38. | |
and sugar. Tim Hortons is an institution because it a coffee | :24:39. | :24:45. | |
chain where you can find -- you can find it all over Canada and it was | :24:46. | :24:50. | |
started by a hockey player, of course, how Canadian! This is a | :24:51. | :24:53. | |
coffee chain that is very quintessential with Canadian | :24:54. | :24:58. | |
culture. Why would you go to a Tim Hortons? You will ask for a double | :24:59. | :25:01. | |
double and everyone will know what you are talking about. We have seen | :25:02. | :25:06. | |
that TTIP are making their way into other countries. There are Tim | :25:07. | :25:11. | |
Hortons in the USA, some in New York, not far from the BBC office | :25:12. | :25:16. | |
and as a franchise is making its way into different countries, they are | :25:17. | :25:21. | |
in the Middle East, it was that the Canadian base in Afghanistan, and | :25:22. | :25:26. | |
now we hear that it's making its way to the United Kingdom. We will see | :25:27. | :25:32. | |
how it does, thank you for explaining it! Tim Hortons, coming | :25:33. | :25:36. | |
to the UK. If you are watching in Canada and the US you can tell us | :25:37. | :25:40. | |
what is so special about it, I guess I will get the chance to try it for | :25:41. | :25:46. | |
myself in London. That's it for this half of Outside Source, if you have | :25:47. | :25:50. | |
questions, use this hashtag and I'll be back with you in a couple of | :25:51. | :25:52. | |
minutes time. Good evening, time to look at what | :25:53. | :26:12. | |
is happening weather-wise around the world. | :26:13. | :26:14. |
