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

:00:09.:00:11.

In Haiti, rescue workers are struggling to reach the areas

:00:12.:00:13.

There is a stark warning from the UN on Syria. The city of Aleppo, this

:00:14.:00:39.

rate, could be totally destroyed. Thousands of Syrian civilians, not

:00:40.:00:41.

terrorists, will be killed. Yesterday we told you that

:00:42.:00:44.

Antonio Guterres was on track to be the next UN Secretary General -

:00:45.:00:47.

today it's been confirmed. We will hear what he has been

:00:48.:00:55.

saying. We will also talk about the battle to become the next leader of

:00:56.:01:00.

the United Kingdom Independence Party. The leadership favourite,

:01:01.:01:05.

Steven Woolfe, has been taken to hospital in Strasbourg after an

:01:06.:01:10.

altercation at a party meeting. We are live in the studio, if you have

:01:11.:01:16.

any questions on the stories we are covering, you will see the hashtag,

:01:17.:01:20.

e-mail address and contacts on social media.

:01:21.:01:33.

Let me bring you the latest on hurricane Matthew. Over 100 people

:01:34.:01:41.

have been killed in Haiti. Thousands more have been displaced. The extent

:01:42.:01:46.

of the destruction is only now becoming clear. Here are some of the

:01:47.:01:49.

pictures that have come in today from the south-west of Haiti. These

:01:50.:01:55.

show you clearly the extent of the destruction. Entire towns have been

:01:56.:02:00.

flattened. This is a place called Jeremie. This main road goes to the

:02:01.:02:17.

capital, Port-au-Prince. This picture was taken before the storm.

:02:18.:02:21.

This is a very similar picture, taken after. You can see that the

:02:22.:02:27.

bridge is completely gone. That means that locals are having to do

:02:28.:02:32.

things like wading through water to get from one side of the river to

:02:33.:02:36.

the other. No road means there is much harder to get aid to people

:02:37.:02:41.

that desperately need it. A lot of different aid agencies are involved

:02:42.:02:48.

in getting help it to Haiti. One of them is World Vision Usa. It has

:02:49.:02:53.

been sharing images of what it has been coming up against. The damage

:02:54.:02:58.

to the road makes it completely unusable. After Haiti, the storm

:02:59.:03:03.

headed to the Bahamas. It has very much arrived. Wind speeds have been

:03:04.:03:11.

recorded at 200 kilometres. See traffic has been halted,

:03:12.:03:14.

understandably. People are urged to move to higher ground, but the

:03:15.:03:17.

problem with the Bahamas is there is not much high ground to head for.

:03:18.:03:23.

Next in line, after the Bahamas, it's Florida. This is the message

:03:24.:03:27.

from the State governor. Are you willing to take a chance to risk

:03:28.:03:31.

your life? Are you willing to take a gamble? That is what you're doing.

:03:32.:03:35.

If you are reluctant to evacuate, think of all of the people the storm

:03:36.:03:40.

has already killed. You and your family could be among these numbers

:03:41.:03:44.

if you do not take this seriously. We will keep you up-to-date with the

:03:45.:03:50.

situation. Next, we want to turn to a stark warning from the United

:03:51.:03:52.

Nations. The parts of Aleppo held by rebels

:03:53.:03:59.

could be totally destroyed That is a map of the whole country,

:04:00.:04:14.

this is a map of Aleppo. The areas marked in purple are controlled by

:04:15.:04:18.

rebels. It is primarily the east of the country. The UN is assessing

:04:19.:04:22.

that to do and 75,000 civilians are trapped there.

:04:23.:04:25.

Staffan de Mistura is the UN envoy for Syria.

:04:26.:04:29.

Who says the areas being attacked because that is where fighters from

:04:30.:04:34.

the group formerly known as the Al-Nusra Front are. He sent this

:04:35.:04:41.

message to the jihadists. Can you please look at my eyes? Those of the

:04:42.:04:51.

Aleppo people, of the 275,000 civilians that are where you are, I

:04:52.:05:03.

can confidently tell this 275,000 people that you're going to stay

:05:04.:05:08.

there and that he remained there, and keep hostage, the refusal to

:05:09.:05:16.

leave the city, because 1000 of you are deciding on the destiny of

:05:17.:05:24.

275,000 civilians. I would like you to reply to this question, not to

:05:25.:05:33.

be, but to those 275,000 people. If you do decide to leave, indignity,

:05:34.:05:45.

and with your weapons, to a place you wanted to go, I am ready to

:05:46.:05:50.

personally accompany you. It is a marked change of tactics. He wants

:05:51.:05:59.

to live Iraq -- I want to get the opinion of Lyse Doucet. He has

:06:00.:06:03.

thought this through, there is a blistering attack on East Aleppo, so

:06:04.:06:08.

blistering it could be dead in two and half months. Russia and

:06:09.:06:11.

President Assad's Ardie Savea reason they are doing this is because there

:06:12.:06:16.

are terrorists there, mostly 1000 he mentioned from the Al-Nusra Front.

:06:17.:06:22.

It almost calling their bluff, please leave, the bombing will stop.

:06:23.:06:27.

Nobody believes that Al-Nusra Front, one of the strongest fighting forces

:06:28.:06:31.

around Aleppo, is going to stop, or the bombing will stop. Is it the

:06:32.:06:35.

case that all of the rebels in this part of Aleppo are from the Al-Nusra

:06:36.:06:42.

Front? No, the figures were about 8000 copies had. They are constantly

:06:43.:06:46.

shifting. At one point there were 50 different groups. A thousand

:06:47.:06:51.

fighters, 900 or 1000 belong to the group that used to be called the

:06:52.:06:55.

Al-Nusra Front. They recently said they are no longer linked to

:06:56.:06:59.

Al-Qaeda and changed their name. A lot of people do not believe they

:07:00.:07:03.

have completely severed their legs to Al-Qaeda, a group under UN

:07:04.:07:08.

sanctions. He is now saying, you are the problem, because the solution.

:07:09.:07:13.

There is a risk that he seems to be blaming those fighting the Syrian

:07:14.:07:17.

government, rather than those carrying out the bombing? That is

:07:18.:07:21.

what people who support the opposition are saying. Why are you

:07:22.:07:26.

blaming that group? The Syrian army and Russian aeroplanes are bombing

:07:27.:07:30.

hospitals, schools and civilians. He gave the figure that to murder

:07:31.:07:33.

children died at the last week. These are not terrorists being

:07:34.:07:40.

killed. If it was so easy to take out one part of the cancer, people

:07:41.:07:45.

would have done it along time ago. The bombing is targeting much more

:07:46.:07:49.

than the Al-Nusra Front. I get the impression that the only person that

:07:50.:07:54.

controls the future of Aleppo is Vladimir Putin? It is very easy to

:07:55.:07:58.

say that what Russia says, the Syrian army does, it does not work

:07:59.:08:02.

that way. I think they have made treaties to President Assad

:08:03.:08:05.

directly, but he does not want to step down, he does not want to go to

:08:06.:08:10.

Moscow. He does not see anything in this war except military solutions.

:08:11.:08:14.

He told English television today that he will fight until all of the

:08:15.:08:19.

terrorists, as he calls them, are gone from Aleppo, the only way

:08:20.:08:24.

forward he sees is local deals they have made, which amount to

:08:25.:08:26.

surrenders in other parts of the country, they worked and they think

:08:27.:08:31.

it could work in Aleppo. The cost in Aleppo will be enormous, a stain on

:08:32.:08:39.

the entire world. The recent ceasefire was broken primarily by

:08:40.:08:43.

the Russians and Americans, it collapsed. Diplomatic efforts

:08:44.:08:47.

continue. Here is the French Foreign Minister describing what he is

:08:48.:08:50.

calling a diplomatic mobilisation. He says I will be in Moscow and

:08:51.:08:54.

Washington this week. He is looking for a new deal that France can take

:08:55.:09:03.

to the UN. Here is the Russian view. TRANSLATION: Russia and the

:09:04.:09:07.

government of the Syrian Arab Republic are ready to fulfil their

:09:08.:09:11.

part of the agreements. It includes a ceasefire that was announced, but

:09:12.:09:16.

violated by illegal military groups. It also includes humanitarian access

:09:17.:09:21.

to the road, in full accordance with Russian and US documents. One of the

:09:22.:09:28.

things that the new UN Secretary General is going to be worried

:09:29.:09:32.

This time yesterday, we broke the news that the former

:09:33.:09:36.

Prime minister of Portugal Antonio Guterresh was almost certain to be

:09:37.:09:39.

the next secretary-general of the United Nations.

:09:40.:09:41.

He's closer still now - after the unanimous support

:09:42.:09:43.

To describe what I feel at the present moment, two words are

:09:44.:10:01.

sufficient. Gratitude and humility. Gratitude, first of all, in relation

:10:02.:10:04.

to the members of the Security Council for the confidence they have

:10:05.:10:08.

expressed. But also to the General Assembly and to all member states

:10:09.:10:14.

for having decided and exemplary process of transparency and

:10:15.:10:18.

openness. These are some other reasons why is qualified for the

:10:19.:10:34.

job. He held a post for six years as the President of the Socialist

:10:35.:10:39.

International Group, and he spent a decade as the United Nations High

:10:40.:10:44.

Commission on refugees. For those reasons, the United Nations Security

:10:45.:10:46.

Council, the members, have decided he is the man to succeed Ban

:10:47.:10:54.

Ki-moon. Later we will turn to Poland, there have been huge

:10:55.:10:59.

protests against a planned complete ban on abortion. Parliament has

:11:00.:11:02.

listened and gone back against the proposed bill that caused the

:11:03.:11:04.

protests in the first place. Jeremy Corbyn has begun severing a

:11:05.:11:21.

new front bench team. It follows his promise to unite the party. He made

:11:22.:11:25.

a series of announcements, including a promotion for Diane Abbott,

:11:26.:11:33.

becoming me Shadow Home Secretary. The former Validity loss, Shami

:11:34.:11:39.

Chakrabarti, who took up a place in the House of Lords recently, becomes

:11:40.:11:46.

Shadow Attorney General. Her peerage was controversial, it came shortly

:11:47.:11:52.

after she headed a review concluding that Labour was not overrun by

:11:53.:11:57.

anti-Semitism, Islamophobia or other forms of racism. Nick Brown is the

:11:58.:12:06.

shadow Chief Whip, a long-time ally of Gordon Brown. He also served

:12:07.:12:07.

under Tony Blair. This is Outside Source. The lead

:12:08.:12:23.

story comes from Haiti, where hurricane Matthew has left a trail

:12:24.:12:29.

of devastation. Over 100 people are so far known to have died. We can

:12:30.:12:32.

bring you some of the main stories from BBC World Service. BBC Turkish

:12:33.:12:38.

is reporting five people have been injured in a bomb attack targeting a

:12:39.:12:43.

police station in Istanbul. Nine Australians, some of whom you can

:12:44.:12:47.

see there, arrested at the relation Formula 1 Grand Prix for stripping

:12:48.:12:50.

down to swimming trunks have walked out of court. There were charged

:12:51.:12:54.

with causing a public nuisance. It comes with a fine, not a jail term,

:12:55.:12:58.

but it is not clear how much has been paid. The group expressed deep

:12:59.:13:01.

regret. The Norwegian prime minister

:13:02.:13:04.

has been caught playing Pokemon Go during a debate

:13:05.:13:07.

in Norway's parliament. Evidently the game's popular among

:13:08.:13:09.

Norwegian politicians - The leader of Norway's Liberal party

:13:10.:13:11.

was seen playing during a meeting on national

:13:12.:13:13.

security back in August. Earlier this week these protests

:13:14.:13:22.

were happening in Poland. They were against a bill

:13:23.:13:28.

for a near-total ban on abortion. Today Poland's parliament

:13:29.:13:32.

has rejected it. The scale of the demonstrations

:13:33.:13:36.

appear to have swayed One minister said they "caused us

:13:37.:13:38.

to think and taught us humility" and insisted "Abortion

:13:39.:13:48.

will certainly not be banned when the woman is the victim of rape

:13:49.:13:50.

or if her life or her health Robert Mugabe has opened

:13:51.:13:54.

the new session of Zimbabwe's There's particular attention

:13:55.:13:58.

on this because of a wave Arriving for the opening of

:13:59.:14:15.

Parliament with his wife, Grace, by his side. Robert Mugabe, showing no

:14:16.:14:19.

signs of slowing down. The 92-year-old has been in power for

:14:20.:14:23.

more than three decades. But his country is in trouble. Zimbabwe's

:14:24.:14:30.

economy is imploding. The country is running out of cash. Even a simple

:14:31.:14:35.

task of withdrawing money from the bank takes hours. It is estimated

:14:36.:14:40.

85% of the population is unemployed. The majority relies on street trade

:14:41.:14:53.

to eke out a living. These vendors sleep on the street, too poor to

:14:54.:14:57.

make the trip home. For millions, life in Zimbabwe is too hard to

:14:58.:15:01.

endure. In full view of the border, these young men illegally cross the

:15:02.:15:06.

river into South Africa in search of jobs. It is estimated that between

:15:07.:15:14.

three and 6 million Zimbabweans now live in Zimbabwe. There is no job,

:15:15.:15:28.

no food. No job, and now people are beating us. Desperation has forced

:15:29.:15:32.

millions of Zimbabweans to cross the border by any means. This has been

:15:33.:15:38.

happening for many years. But with the current situation in Zimbabwe,

:15:39.:15:42.

the numbers could increase. The deepening poverty appears to have

:15:43.:15:46.

united many, demanding economic reforms and an end to government

:15:47.:15:51.

corruption. The economy is not functioning. People are losing jobs.

:15:52.:15:56.

If you are selling goods in manufacturing, you stop

:15:57.:15:58.

manufacturing because nobody is buying your guts. It is a downward

:15:59.:16:08.

spiral. Robert Mugabe must go! For the first time in a decade, they

:16:09.:16:12.

have taken to the streets to voice their discontent. The most vocal are

:16:13.:16:16.

consistently and violently shut down. This man told the BBC how he

:16:17.:16:21.

was electrocuted and left for dead. TRANSLATION: They gave me a electric

:16:22.:16:28.

shocks and kept beating me until my body was numb. They thought I was

:16:29.:16:31.

dead, they left me at the side of the road and drove away. The

:16:32.:16:36.

government has denied any overuse of force. This is unwarranted

:16:37.:16:42.

provocation. I am so proud of the police, exercising restraint on all

:16:43.:16:46.

occasions. They have never used excessive force. They have used

:16:47.:16:51.

appropriate force. Anti-government protests look set to continue ahead

:16:52.:16:55.

of the 2018 elections in which President Mugabe seeks his eighth

:16:56.:17:01.

term in office. For now, Zimbabweans will find what ever means they can

:17:02.:17:06.

to make a living, despite the ailing economy.

:17:07.:17:11.

Already, we have heard stories from Zimbabwe, Poland, the UK, Haiti and

:17:12.:17:19.

Syria. Next, business. We will talk about the website 4chan. Some of you

:17:20.:17:23.

may use it. You can post anonymously about whatever you like, really.

:17:24.:17:29.

Really, anything goes. It is hugely popular. It has about 27 million

:17:30.:17:33.

users. But it is in financial trouble. Here is its owner, saying

:17:34.:17:38.

advert revenue is getting worse and costs are getting high because of

:17:39.:17:45.

more users. When I first saw the story, I will surprise that 4chan

:17:46.:17:49.

was ever making money, it has never been in the mainstream of Web

:17:50.:17:53.

culture, it has always chosen to operate if not in the shadows, the

:17:54.:18:00.

periphery of the web? But there is a cost in running the site, the cost

:18:01.:18:05.

of service, maintaining the site, the fees associated with that. It

:18:06.:18:11.

really had to find their way to make money. The wait was doing that was

:18:12.:18:16.

adverts. The problem with adverts on 4chan is that a lot of people have

:18:17.:18:22.

pop-up blockers. They're not getting that much money, especially when you

:18:23.:18:26.

factor in all of those other costs associated with it. They are not

:18:27.:18:30.

making enough money to actually make it a viable option. What is the

:18:31.:18:36.

plan? Well, the plan is to perhaps see if it can find other ways of

:18:37.:18:42.

funding itself. One person that has already expressed some interest in

:18:43.:18:51.

helping out is Martin Chip -- and man you might not remember, the man

:18:52.:18:55.

who owned the pharmaceutical company that raised the price by

:18:56.:19:04.

astronomical amounts. He is gaining fame by taking an the role of being

:19:05.:19:09.

the most hated man in America, Martin Shkreli. Recently he had a

:19:10.:19:14.

campaign saying you could punch him in the face a campaign saying you

:19:15.:19:17.

could punch him in the face of you donated money. This is another

:19:18.:19:24.

option for him, trying to be a backer for 4chan. People are not

:19:25.:19:27.

sure if it is a publicity stunt or not.

:19:28.:19:32.

The BBC has seen an independent report on the possible expansion

:19:33.:19:34.

of Heathrow airport - and it finds that a third runway

:19:35.:19:37.

could be built without breaking European pollution laws.

:19:38.:19:42.

The British Government is in the process of deciding

:19:43.:19:44.

whether to expand Heathrow or instead to expand

:19:45.:19:46.

Pollution is one of the key reasons people oppose a bigger Heathrow. The

:19:47.:20:12.

air near the airport already breaks EU law in some places, campaigners

:20:13.:20:15.

fear a new runway would make it worse. This new research, funded by

:20:16.:20:24.

an impartial council with no link to the airport or government, suggests

:20:25.:20:29.

that expansion will not mean breaking official European health

:20:30.:20:32.

laws. This is one of the units we built for the study. You can see the

:20:33.:20:36.

sensors measuring the particles and gases. We expect there to be a

:20:37.:20:42.

marginal increase in the amount of nitrogen dioxide coming from the

:20:43.:20:45.

airport itself. But that would be against a background of a very much

:20:46.:20:50.

reduced nitrogen dioxide from the other general traffic flow, because

:20:51.:20:59.

of the transition to new engines, electrifying the fleet. The study

:21:00.:21:04.

says it comes down to cars, lorries and buses, not aeroplanes, because

:21:05.:21:08.

that is where the bulk of the poisonous nitrogen dioxide gas comes

:21:09.:21:13.

from around Heathrow. It predicts that by 2030, when a runway could be

:21:14.:21:18.

built, vehicle engines will be so much cleaner that they will actually

:21:19.:21:22.

cut pollution. Opponents call it wishful thinking. We should be very

:21:23.:21:27.

cautious about research anticipating dramatic improvements in vehicle

:21:28.:21:29.

efficiency. We have been here before. The last time we had a

:21:30.:21:34.

the models told us everything would the models told us everything would

:21:35.:21:40.

be sorted by now, it has not come to pass. After years of sweeping the

:21:41.:21:44.

decision under the carpet, ministers are about to announce whether to

:21:45.:21:51.

enlarge Heathrow or Gatwick. Whatever they pick, opponents will

:21:52.:21:52.

not take it lying down. I want to come back to the lead

:21:53.:22:03.

story, the impact of Hurricane Matthew. The death toll in Haiti has

:22:04.:22:08.

passed 100. We were showing your pictures of a town called Jeremie.

:22:09.:22:13.

More copy has come in on that particular town. This is from AFP,

:22:14.:22:18.

telling us it has experienced complete destruction when it was hit

:22:19.:22:29.

by hurricane Matthew. In the meantime, I want to turn to Florida,

:22:30.:22:32.

bracing itself for Hurricane Matthew. Let's go live to Melbourne.

:22:33.:22:41.

Thanks for joining us. Bring us up to date on the preparations for the

:22:42.:22:50.

storm. People are taking the warnings of the hurricane very

:22:51.:22:55.

seriously. There are a evacuation orders in place from Florida all the

:22:56.:23:03.

way to Carolina, people being ordered to have mandatory

:23:04.:23:06.

evacuations. It will be the largest evacuation in Florida's history.

:23:07.:23:10.

Along the beaches, that is where the mandatory evacuations are. Within

:23:11.:23:14.

the next couple of hours, there will be shutting down the bridges that go

:23:15.:23:18.

between the beaches and the mainland, because it will become too

:23:19.:23:21.

dangerous for vehicles to be travelling back and forth. The wind

:23:22.:23:25.

is starting to pick up, we are starting to get the outer bands of

:23:26.:23:31.

Hurricane Matthew. Those that did not evacuate have been boarding up

:23:32.:23:34.

their homes, spent the day stocking up on supplies. As we get into the

:23:35.:23:39.

night, with the storm expected to hit, they are telling people to stay

:23:40.:23:45.

in their homes. With this many people on the move, does the federal

:23:46.:23:49.

government offer them somewhere to go, or do they just have to find

:23:50.:23:55.

relatives and friends? There are going to relatives and friends. A

lot of people are heading over to Florida's West Coast. That is not in

:24:00.:24:03.

the impact zone. We learned earlier today that all of hotels in

:24:04.:24:07.

Southwest Florida are now sold out. We know a lot of people are trying

:24:08.:24:11.

to head north to get to other areas of safety, stay with friends or

:24:12.:24:15.

family, try to find hotels that have vacancies. Many of the hotels,

:24:16.:24:19.

especially along the coast, they are telling people to evacuate. Those

:24:20.:24:25.

people are having to scramble and find a place to stay. How much time

:24:26.:24:29.

do we think we have before the storm really hits? Last we saw, it is

:24:30.:24:34.

expected to hit a late tonight. Maybe around midnight. We are

:24:35.:24:38.

already starting to feel some of the impact, the outer bands are starting

:24:39.:24:43.

to hit, the wind is picking up. We have already experienced heavy rain

:24:44.:24:46.

and it is only going to get worse through the evening. In terms of the

:24:47.:24:50.

areas being evacuated, presumably some people will stay to look after

:24:51.:24:54.

the buildings and people who decide to remain? They will, there are some

:24:55.:25:02.

people, you know, this is an area prone to storms. I grew up in the

:25:03.:25:06.

next town over, I know that Floridians tend to be hardened to

:25:07.:25:11.

this kind of thing. Many people stay behind and say they think they will

:25:12.:25:14.

be all right, but there is a major warning. The governor of Florida

:25:15.:25:19.

said today, evacuate, evacuate, evacuate. That is his message,

:25:20.:25:23.

because the storm will kill people, he said. He has given a very

:25:24.:25:26.

strongly worded message to people that they need to get out, even if

:25:27.:25:30.

they live in a building they might want to protect, especially along

:25:31.:25:33.

the beaches, they are telling people to leave. With the bridges being

:25:34.:25:35.

shut down, if there is an emergency,

:25:36.:25:49.

related to the storm or not, emergency services may not be able

:25:50.:25:52.

to get to them and they may not be able to get the help they need. I

:25:53.:25:55.

always appreciate you coming on, thank you very much. Do stay with

:25:56.:25:57.
