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

:00:13.:00:14.

Our top story is in Iraq, where government forces

:00:15.:00:16.

are inside Mosul for the first time in two years -

:00:17.:00:19.

but the Islamic State still control the city.

:00:20.:00:21.

Rocket Grinnell -- rocket propelled grenades have been incoming.

:00:22.:00:34.

One major poll has put Donald Trump ahead in the US Election.

:00:35.:00:38.

We will be live in Pennsylannia - to find out how that crucial swing

:00:39.:00:42.

We also has some reports from BBC Arabic about online shaming. We will

:00:43.:01:02.

play that in a few minutes time. I mentioned a national poll a few

:01:03.:01:22.

minutes ago. It gives Donald Trump a 1-point lead over Hillary Clinton.

:01:23.:01:26.

We should add all the usual caveats with poles which do not turn out to

:01:27.:01:30.

be accurate and this is not in line with most of the polling in the US.

:01:31.:01:39.

That gives a 2-point lead over Donald Trump. Things are getting

:01:40.:01:47.

tight. In the end, this will not come down to the national vote, it

:01:48.:01:52.

will come down to which way certain crucial states go because of the way

:01:53.:01:56.

the electoral college goes in the US.

:01:57.:01:58.

All this week on Outside Source we're talking to journalists

:01:59.:02:00.

from the swing states that could decide the election.

:02:01.:02:02.

Donald Trump's going to be Wisconsin -

:02:03.:02:04.

Pennsylvania's the sixth largest state in the US -

:02:05.:02:09.

and it has 20 electoral college votes.

:02:10.:02:30.

What are the big issues which will sway voters Esmat some of the big

:02:31.:02:42.

issues are the economy. This area has seen a number of manufacturing

:02:43.:02:47.

jobs down. This is something we have heard a lot about from the

:02:48.:02:51.

candidates. We have also heard Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton

:02:52.:02:55.

reaching out to black voters. In Donald Trump is Matt Casey has come

:02:56.:02:59.

to Philadelphia several times to try and make this pitch. He has said,

:03:00.:03:05.

what have you got to lose? He argues that black voters in cities are poor

:03:06.:03:11.

and have no jobs and they have been the result of failed Democratic

:03:12.:03:15.

policies. Hillary Clinton is making a soft pitch saying she wants to

:03:16.:03:19.

raise the minimum wage, help people get out of poverty and those are

:03:20.:03:23.

some of the key issues we have heard as the candidates have come through

:03:24.:03:29.

the states. Katie, tell us about this strike in Philadelphia. How

:03:30.:03:35.

significant is it? It is significant. It has crippled public

:03:36.:03:39.

transportation in this city. There is still public transportation and

:03:40.:03:44.

running outside in the suburbs. We have heard some strikers have

:03:45.:03:48.

blocked passage for the regional trains which brings folks in and out

:03:49.:03:53.

of the city of Philadelphia and to the surrounding suburbs. It is a

:03:54.:03:56.

significant event which is making things difficult here and has people

:03:57.:04:00.

concerned about how voters will be able to get out on election day.

:04:01.:04:05.

When it comes to Philadelphia, many polling places are within walking

:04:06.:04:10.

distance of people's homes but there are people who need public

:04:11.:04:12.

transportation because maybe they cannot get around to easily to get

:04:13.:04:16.

there so that is causing some concern. We have had Hillary Clinton

:04:17.:04:23.

putting pressures on the unions and the trained agency to come to a deal

:04:24.:04:30.

as soon as possible. This is about persuading supporters to turn out.

:04:31.:04:37.

Your listeners on WHYY, are they engaged and will they be voting in

:04:38.:04:41.

big numbers? There is the question up for the Trump camp, they are

:04:42.:04:49.

lying on his supporters to be more enthusiastic -- they are relying on

:04:50.:04:52.

his supporters to be more enthusiastic. There are questions

:04:53.:04:56.

about whether he will win over suburban women who have been

:04:57.:05:01.

squeamish on his comments about women and Mexicans. I have been

:05:02.:05:05.

spending time interviewing women in the suburbs. Many of them say,

:05:06.:05:09.

lifelong Republicans, that they are not sure about him but on the other

:05:10.:05:11.

hand they don't trust Clinton either. These Philadelphia suburbs,

:05:12.:05:17.

where there are a lot more moderate voters, those are some of the key

:05:18.:05:21.

voters we will be watching on election day. Katie, we appreciate

:05:22.:05:27.

your time. And wherever you are watching in the world you can stream

:05:28.:05:32.

WHYY online if you want a Pennsylvania perspective on this

:05:33.:05:34.

election. Now time for some sport. Fifa has turned down a request

:05:35.:05:37.

from England and Scotland for players to wear armbands

:05:38.:05:39.

featuring poppies on Armistice Day. They have support from

:05:40.:05:42.

the British government. Back in 2011, the Football

:05:43.:05:45.

Association brokered a deal with Fifa which saw England players

:05:46.:05:50.

display the poppy on an armband. Now with the team set to play

:05:51.:05:54.

Scotland on Armistice Day, both sides are lobbying Fifa

:05:55.:05:57.

in a bid to display Fifa's rules forbid what it calls

:05:58.:06:00.

political imagery, a view that many believe should

:06:01.:06:06.

not apply to the poppy. It's about standing up to bigotry,

:06:07.:06:11.

to fascism, to racism, At what point do Fifa not recognise

:06:12.:06:14.

that we should be celebrating sacrifice that stood up against such

:06:15.:06:20.

vile, detestable evil? "We are working closely

:06:21.:06:29.

with the Royal British Legion once again this year to honour

:06:30.:06:33.

and remember the sacrifices made by those serving

:06:34.:06:35.

in the Armed Forces. In recent weeks, the FA has led

:06:36.:06:37.

remembrance discussions with Fifa to allow the England

:06:38.:06:39.

team to show its support for the Poppy Appeal

:06:40.:06:42.

during the World Cup The Welsh FA are also speaking

:06:43.:06:43.

with Fifa ahead of their game Fifa's view in the past has been

:06:44.:06:49.

that the poppy represented a political symbol and therefore

:06:50.:06:56.

would not be allowed to be But I'm told that view

:06:57.:06:58.

within the governing body has changed under its new leadership,

:06:59.:07:03.

and there may now be more sympathy I think it's another

:07:04.:07:06.

sign of Fifa gone crazy, clearly out of touch with modern

:07:07.:07:12.

day and modern life. I can't understand why they can't

:07:13.:07:15.

understand and recognise the loss So, another sign of Fifa's

:07:16.:07:18.

inflexibility. If they want to wear it,

:07:19.:07:21.

they should be able to wear it. They shouldn't be able to tell them

:07:22.:07:24.

they can't wear it. They absolutely should be allowed

:07:25.:07:27.

to, it's a disgrace. Many Premier League

:07:28.:07:31.

and Football League clubs already display the poppy on their shirts

:07:32.:07:35.

in the run-up to But Fifa's rules for national teams

:07:36.:07:37.

mean that they could punish associations if they believe

:07:38.:07:43.

the rules have been breached. Will Perry is live from the BBC

:07:44.:08:04.

sports Centre. We have to start with what is happening with you in

:08:05.:08:13.

Manchester. It is 1-1 between Manchester City and Barcelona.

:08:14.:08:15.

Raheem Sterling was booked for simulation and then the enormously

:08:16.:08:19.

finishing off a move to give Barcelona the lead. -- Lionel Messi.

:08:20.:08:34.

City equalised just before the break. Sergio Aguero levelled things

:08:35.:08:44.

up at the break at the Etihad Stadium. Also in group C it is

:08:45.:08:53.

Russia Monchengladbach and Celtic, 1-0 -- Borussia Monchengladbach. The

:08:54.:09:04.

Germans are in front in that game. And an interesting scoreline in

:09:05.:09:13.

Bulgarian. It is 2-2 between Ludogorets and Arsenal. Just before

:09:14.:09:24.

the break, just before the whistle went in Bulgarian the French

:09:25.:09:30.

international striker Olivier Giroud made it 2-2. Of their PSG lead by a

:09:31.:09:41.

goal to nil. If you want to follow this as it happens, get the BBC

:09:42.:09:46.

sport at all go on the BBC sport website and you can see the live

:09:47.:09:47.

page there. Now let's talk about some military

:09:48.:09:57.

hardware the Chinese have been showing at an airshow. This is the J

:09:58.:10:04.

20 Stealth fighter which will not be operational until 2018. Steven

:10:05.:10:09.

McDonnell can give us the lowdown. It is technological displays like

:10:10.:10:15.

this which have led people to picture a time when China can catch

:10:16.:10:20.

the US militarily. These Stealth fighters made a dramatic entrance at

:10:21.:10:26.

an airshow. The Jets came in low over the crowd, showing off their

:10:27.:10:31.

manoeuvrability and even setting off alarms in the nearby car park. This

:10:32.:10:37.

is the first time China's top of the line objects have been on display

:10:38.:10:41.

publicly, and it is being viewed as a real statement of intent, that

:10:42.:10:47.

this country intends to close the technology gap with all of its

:10:48.:10:51.

rivals. As I say, the Jets past the crowd several times, but people will

:10:52.:10:55.

not be able to get too close to them. Their design remains a secret.

:10:56.:10:59.

They will not be on public display in the way that other aircraft are.

:11:00.:11:05.

However, there will be plenty of other military hardware for people

:11:06.:11:08.

to see. Everything from attack helicopters to see planes. The

:11:09.:11:14.

message here is this is an emerging superpower not to be trifled with,

:11:15.:11:19.

especially in the South China Sea. China also wants to sell this

:11:20.:11:24.

equipment and in this field it also has the goal of surpassing the

:11:25.:11:30.

United States. Thank you. In a few minutes we will learn about a

:11:31.:11:34.

proposed oil pipeline in the US which would start in North Dakota. A

:11:35.:11:39.

lot of activists are trying to stop it happening. We have been speaking

:11:40.:11:40.

to one. Scotland Yard - the home

:11:41.:11:47.

of London's Metropolitan Police headquarters is moving -

:11:48.:11:51.

to a former police station VOICEOVER: Broadway, Southwest one,

:11:52.:11:53.

a building in keeping with our time. The home of Scotland

:11:54.:12:01.

Yard from now on. It was 1967 when the Metropolitan

:12:02.:12:04.

Police moved into New Scotland Yard - a time before e-mails,

:12:05.:12:07.

before computer mapping. The great train robber,

:12:08.:12:11.

Bruce Reynolds, still on the run. Ten years later, in 1977,

:12:12.:12:19.

this was modern crime fighting - Looking back at the pictures of

:12:20.:12:22.

herself, Rosalee remembers it well. I think I was about 27

:12:23.:12:29.

then, 28, maybe. The excitement of working in

:12:30.:12:33.

the world-famous New Scotland Yard, but also the casual sexism

:12:34.:12:36.

of the day. We would be asked to do things that

:12:37.:12:40.

men weren't asked to do. We would be asked to go out and get

:12:41.:12:43.

presents for the boss's wife, because they'd forgotten

:12:44.:12:47.

it was their birthday. The Flying Squad, the Sweeney,

:12:48.:12:54.

headquartered in New Scotland Yard for decades, is perhaps the most

:12:55.:12:58.

famous group of You have that sense of pride

and achievement that you've actually Barry Phillips joined the Met

:13:02.:13:05.

in 1975, and was a Flying Squad Then, almost all the force's main

units had head offices We brought together that

:13:10.:13:16.

cross-fertilisation of intelligence. Of ideas, thinking, camaraderie

in maintaining the crime-fighting From New Scotland Yard,

the force had to cope with the IRA bombing campaign

and the 7/7 attacks. And although many squads are now

:13:30.:13:32.

elsewhere, the top brass will still be based

:13:33.:13:35.

at a new office in Westminster. This will be the fourth

of police officers. But already a new one has appeared,

forces are inside Mosul for the first time in two years -

with World News America - The programme comes live

:14:34.:14:51.

from North Carolina. If you're in the UK the Ten O'Clock

:14:52.:14:55.

news is up in just over an hour with a report on how Brexit

:14:56.:14:59.

could effect the border between Northern Ireland

:15:00.:15:01.

and the Republic of Ireland. I want to talk about

:15:02.:15:08.

protests against a new oil They've going on for months -

:15:09.:15:10.

but in the last couple of weeks This is where protests are blocking

:15:11.:15:16.

the construction of the pipeline If completed it will carry

:15:17.:15:25.

oil from North Dakota through South Dakota and Iowa

:15:26.:15:29.

to existing pipelines in Illinois. It will then be taken

:15:30.:15:34.

to to refineries on the Gulf Tara Houska is from

the group Honor the Earth. She has been living

:15:40.:15:45.

on the reservation since August. She's currently in Washington -

:15:46.:15:47.

and earlier I asked her why she's It is infrastructure for projects

:15:48.:16:00.

are not for people. We have renewable energy which can move us

:16:01.:16:03.

into the next green economy, and instead we are allowing the fossil

:16:04.:16:07.

fuel industry to control our Congress and push its agenda of

:16:08.:16:12.

putting dirty fossil fuels into our finite resources. With particular

:16:13.:16:18.

regard to this pipeline, it is re-routed from Bismarck, largely

:16:19.:16:23.

white community, due to concerns of water contamination, and re-routed

:16:24.:16:29.

near a reservation and the sole drinking water for that community.

:16:30.:16:33.

It is a clear example of environmental racism, and a complete

:16:34.:16:37.

lack of regard for indigenous rights and the lives of indigenous people.

:16:38.:16:47.

I have to say the people behind the pipeline would refute those

:16:48.:16:50.

allegations. If they say we will look at the root again, would you

:16:51.:16:54.

look at withdrawing the protests? And alternate route of sending

:16:55.:17:00.

barrels of fracked oil which we do not need is not a solution, so no, I

:17:01.:17:06.

don't think an alternative route is a solution. Protesters have been

:17:07.:17:11.

peaceful. We call ourselves protectors and not protesters,

:17:12.:17:16.

simply because there is no violent activity on behalf of the folks

:17:17.:17:18.

standing in the way of machines. For more details on the dispute

:17:19.:17:21.

I spoke with BBC Environment This is all about fracking, from the

:17:22.:17:31.

shale oil fields in Dakota down to the Gulf of Florida. This pipeline

:17:32.:17:37.

will take half a million barrels of oil a day. They think you can keep

:17:38.:17:41.

it off the railways and keep it out of trucks, it is a better deal for

:17:42.:17:46.

the environment. And the issue of burial grounds, has that been

:17:47.:17:50.

addressed? There is a lot of legal confusion about where exactly the

:17:51.:17:57.

reservation lands are, whether burial grounds are. There is still a

:17:58.:17:59.

lack of clarity about that. There are questions of oil and water here

:18:00.:18:04.

but it is also about fracking, climate change and the tribal

:18:05.:18:08.

sovereignty. The idea that these tribal groups should be negotiated

:18:09.:18:13.

with by the US government as equals, that is underlining this and making

:18:14.:18:15.

people feel very angry. Thank you. Over the past few days,

:18:16.:18:20.

BBC Arabic has been reporting how private and often sexually explicit

:18:21.:18:22.

images are being used to blackmail The next report comes from a town

:18:23.:18:25.

in Pakistan called Husain Khan Wala. There hundreds of children

:18:26.:18:37.

were victims of abuse That report is part of a BBC Arabic

:18:38.:18:39.

series on shame and blackmail You can see those reports
