Hallowed, I am Ros Atkins and welcome to Outside Source. -- | :00:13. | :00:21. | |
hello. The French and Russian presidents bowing to work together. | :00:22. | :00:28. | |
TRANSLATION: Are happy to walk great with the coalition headed by the US. | :00:29. | :00:35. | |
-- we are happy. Here in London David Cameron has made the case for | :00:36. | :00:39. | |
air strikes to be carried out in Syria. It has been causing some | :00:40. | :00:44. | |
problems for the opposition leader, we will explain how. We will also | :00:45. | :00:48. | |
answer to the questions you have sent us about the Russian plane that | :00:49. | :00:53. | |
was shot down by Turkey. Sebastian Coates is also in the news, he is | :00:54. | :00:59. | |
stepping down from his advisory role at Nike. Coe. -- Coe. We will pick | :01:00. | :01:11. | |
up all of your comments and questions, we will definitely reply | :01:12. | :01:14. | |
to you online and in some cases answer you on the television. | :01:15. | :01:30. | |
So today we have learnt a lot more about how the world plans to respond | :01:31. | :01:38. | |
to the Islamic state. Including a renewed push the UK to begin air | :01:39. | :01:44. | |
strikes in Syria. More on that in a moment, first to Moscow. In the last | :01:45. | :01:49. | |
hour and a half president Hollande and President Putin have been giving | :01:50. | :01:57. | |
a press conference. TRANSLATION: This is the first reality of the | :01:58. | :02:00. | |
coalition that France would like to put to the whole world against | :02:01. | :02:06. | |
terror. This consensus is vital, but it is not enough, we will also have | :02:07. | :02:13. | |
to shoulder our responsibilities. What France is doing is striking the | :02:14. | :02:22. | |
international centres and the camps of Dhaish. We think it will be | :02:23. | :02:29. | |
better to create one single coalition. This is exactly what I | :02:30. | :02:36. | |
meant when I spoke at the UN. If our partners are not prepared for this, | :02:37. | :02:42. | |
then OK, we are happy to work in a different format. The BBC's Steve | :02:43. | :02:48. | |
Rosenberg was at that conference, we have made a connection to him in the | :02:49. | :02:53. | |
last few moments which is good news, we cannot see him, but I think we | :02:54. | :02:58. | |
can hear him. Steve, what did you think was the most significant thing | :02:59. | :03:03. | |
about what the two president said? I think it was interesting. Russia and | :03:04. | :03:09. | |
France have agreed to work together to fight terrorism, to exchange | :03:10. | :03:18. | |
information, to coordinate attacks against Islamic State in Syria, but | :03:19. | :03:21. | |
there is no sign yet of the kind of grand coalition against terror of | :03:22. | :03:28. | |
which the French president had been talking about after the Paris | :03:29. | :03:32. | |
attacks. At one point President Putin was scathing about the United | :03:33. | :03:37. | |
States, he suggested that Turkey had received information from America | :03:38. | :03:43. | |
about the location of the jet that the Turkish air force shot down, he | :03:44. | :03:51. | |
mention that twice in the press conference. A lot of anger on the | :03:52. | :03:55. | |
half of President Putin towards the US. Much is made of how France is | :03:56. | :04:00. | |
close to Russia the novel Western nations. -- is closer to Russia than | :04:01. | :04:08. | |
other Western nations. How do you think these two men came across? I | :04:09. | :04:13. | |
was looking for the body language, to be honest I did not be much of | :04:14. | :04:23. | |
it. I thought what was interesting, at the first meeting when they shook | :04:24. | :04:26. | |
hands and exchanged a few words before the main negotiations, when | :04:27. | :04:32. | |
President Putin talks to the French president he used the formal term | :04:33. | :04:37. | |
for you in Russian, but when Francois Hollande talked to Vladimir | :04:38. | :04:42. | |
Putin, he used the familiar form of you. It is interesting what you read | :04:43. | :04:51. | |
into that, the politics of grammar. A difference there with one word. As | :04:52. | :04:57. | |
for the body language, I did not detect much. What was also | :04:58. | :05:05. | |
interesting, what they said about President Assad. At one point the | :05:06. | :05:08. | |
French president said that President Assad could play no role in Syria's | :05:09. | :05:15. | |
future, President Putin said it was up to the Syrian people to decide | :05:16. | :05:20. | |
about their future. There is a major difference on the question of | :05:21. | :05:25. | |
President Assad. Russia has paid a price that its involvement in Syria, | :05:26. | :05:29. | |
Islamic State appears to have brought down the Russian airliner in | :05:30. | :05:33. | |
Sinai, one of the crew was lost when Turkey shot down that plane earlier | :05:34. | :05:38. | |
in the week. Is there any sign that Russian public opinion is wavering | :05:39. | :05:41. | |
because of the price that is being paid? No. I have to say not yet. In | :05:42. | :05:49. | |
part because that is because of President Putin's popularity. His | :05:50. | :05:56. | |
sky-high approval rating. Also because I think the Kremlin is in | :05:57. | :06:04. | |
control of the television here. It is vital in this country, it is so | :06:05. | :06:09. | |
influential in altering public opinion. Since the Kremlin controls | :06:10. | :06:14. | |
television, it controls the message it is putting out the public and the | :06:15. | :06:18. | |
message they are putting out right now is it is important to get back | :06:19. | :06:23. | |
at Islamic State, operation retribution they are calling it at | :06:24. | :06:26. | |
the moment and that is the message which is being put out. I think you | :06:27. | :06:33. | |
might consider that when Russia began its military operation, seven | :06:34. | :06:37. | |
or eight weeks ago, President Putin made clear to the Russian people | :06:38. | :06:41. | |
that Russia was starting air strikes in Syria to protect the Russian | :06:42. | :06:51. | |
people from IS launching attacks here. You may think that because a | :06:52. | :06:56. | |
passenger jet was blown up over Sinai in an attack linked to IS and | :06:57. | :07:00. | |
because a Russian bomber was downed this week over Syria, you may think | :07:01. | :07:04. | |
the Russians may start to question this whole operation and think we | :07:05. | :07:08. | |
are not safer, that is not happening. Still there is a lot of | :07:09. | :07:12. | |
support for President Putin in the operation there. We got through to | :07:13. | :07:17. | |
Steve which is good news because he had just come from the conference | :07:18. | :07:22. | |
held by President Putin and president Hollande. Let's pick up on | :07:23. | :07:26. | |
another important point in the story. David Cameron has brought | :07:27. | :07:30. | |
renewed urgency to get Parliamentary approval for UK air strikes in | :07:31. | :07:34. | |
Syria. You may remember two years ago Mr Cameron lost a vote on | :07:35. | :07:39. | |
military action in Syria, but one of the things we should emphasise is | :07:40. | :07:43. | |
that is about attacking the Assad regime, this is about Islamic State. | :07:44. | :07:48. | |
Let's hear some of what he had to say. Statement, the Prime Minister. | :07:49. | :07:58. | |
Thank you Mr Speaker. We should not be content with outsourcing our | :07:59. | :08:03. | |
security to our allies. If we believe that action can help protect | :08:04. | :08:07. | |
us, then with our allies we should be part of that action, not standing | :08:08. | :08:13. | |
aside from it. When our friend and ally France has been struck in this | :08:14. | :08:20. | |
Wade, then our friends and allies could be left thinking if not now, | :08:21. | :08:26. | |
when? -- this way. We have to hit the terrorists in their heartlands | :08:27. | :08:30. | |
right now, we must not shirk our responsibility. We think the | :08:31. | :08:37. | |
presence of western boots on the ground in that way would be | :08:38. | :08:41. | |
counter-productive. That is one of the things we have all collectively | :08:42. | :08:45. | |
across the house learnt in previous conflicts and we don't want to make | :08:46. | :08:50. | |
that the stake again. It looks like the French government thinks this is | :08:51. | :08:53. | |
a good idea, here is one quote from the defence Minister. | :08:54. | :09:12. | |
Let's quickly look at who is involved in the anti-IS coalition. | :09:13. | :09:19. | |
Clearly the Americans, France as well, to the list you can add Saudi | :09:20. | :09:27. | |
Arabia, UAE, Qatar, we have put the Canadian flag there, it has been | :09:28. | :09:30. | |
involved, but the new government says it will be withdrawing from a | :09:31. | :09:35. | |
combat role and we should not forget as well, Turkey has been carrying | :09:36. | :09:39. | |
out some strikes against IS and Russia has as well although Russia | :09:40. | :09:42. | |
has also been targeting some Syrian rebel groups. Let's talk about the | :09:43. | :09:52. | |
politics of this weird Rosol kins. Is a deal? Is this going to go | :09:53. | :10:06. | |
through? -- with Ross Hawkins. Cameron lost a vote on those two | :10:07. | :10:10. | |
years ago and it was a humiliating defeat. He does not want to do it | :10:11. | :10:15. | |
again. He has made it absolutely clear that he would only seek the | :10:16. | :10:19. | |
permission of British MPs to bomb Syria if he was certain that he | :10:20. | :10:25. | |
would win. Throw into that political calculation the chaos that is within | :10:26. | :10:28. | |
the opposition Labour Party at the moment and you will know why this is | :10:29. | :10:34. | |
very far from a done deal. The Leader of the Opposition Jeremy | :10:35. | :10:36. | |
Corbyn, long a campaigner against military conflict, has said publicly | :10:37. | :10:41. | |
that he would vote against any attempt to bomb Syria. Many of his | :10:42. | :10:49. | |
colleagues take the opposing view. There is no hope at the moment of a | :10:50. | :10:54. | |
collective opinion from the Labour Party, there are some furious rows | :10:55. | :10:58. | |
going on behind-the-scenes. It is very difficult David Cameron to have | :10:59. | :11:02. | |
a good or accurate guess as to how many Labour MPs he would have onside | :11:03. | :11:05. | |
if you went back to the House of Commons. I'm trying to remember when | :11:06. | :11:11. | |
an opposition party has been like this in UK politics, the whipping | :11:12. | :11:13. | |
system where in the end most of the system where in the end most of the | :11:14. | :11:17. | |
party goes in one direction or the other has almost broken down. I | :11:18. | :11:24. | |
spent the night in the House of Commons and I have never known a | :11:25. | :11:27. | |
situation like this where so many Shadow Cabinet members on so many | :11:28. | :11:35. | |
keys, so many others involved in the party are so damning and | :11:36. | :11:40. | |
condemnatory of the man who leads them. Jeremy Corbyn was elected with | :11:41. | :11:45. | |
a huge mandate by Labour Party members and by people who signed up | :11:46. | :11:49. | |
to have a vote in that election and frankly they take a very different | :11:50. | :11:53. | |
view of the world from Labour MPs as a whole and most definitely those in | :11:54. | :11:59. | |
Jeremy Corbyn's top team. There is no way of reconciling those two | :12:00. | :12:03. | |
views and it means next week will be very difficult for Labour and that | :12:04. | :12:09. | |
could, I only say could, a fact whether Britain decides to bomb | :12:10. | :12:18. | |
Syria or not. -- affect. I have mentioned that Vladimir Putin has | :12:19. | :12:21. | |
been meeting with Francois Hollande and they have been focusing on | :12:22. | :12:25. | |
Islamic State, but that is not the only thing he has been thinking | :12:26. | :12:28. | |
about. This has also preoccupied him. He promised consequences within | :12:29. | :12:33. | |
minutes of that Russian plane being shot down by Turkey and we are | :12:34. | :12:38. | |
starting to see them now. We have wide-ranging economic sanctions | :12:39. | :12:44. | |
coming in. Another important details started coming through on the news | :12:45. | :12:46. | |
agencies a couple of hours ago. Bearing in mind that Turkey is the | :12:47. | :12:58. | |
biggest foreign destination for Russian tourists and that is a | :12:59. | :13:04. | |
significant move. That is going on, as well as that, the row over | :13:05. | :13:09. | |
whether the Russian plane was ever in Turkish airspace very much | :13:10. | :13:12. | |
continues. There is no dispute over the general area where it was, we | :13:13. | :13:17. | |
know it was close to the tacky where the Russians have an airbase. -- | :13:18. | :13:27. | |
Latakia. This line is where the Turks say the plane felucca, the red | :13:28. | :13:34. | |
line is the one the Russians say was taken. You can see it clearly going | :13:35. | :13:39. | |
below Turkish territory. It is raising lots and lots of questions | :13:40. | :13:41. | |
quite understandably. I think the answer to this is that | :13:42. | :14:00. | |
we do know where that plane was, at least some people do. That data will | :14:01. | :14:05. | |
exist, but at the moment it is not in the public domain, Russia can say | :14:06. | :14:10. | |
one thing and Turkey another. You are quite right to suggest that | :14:11. | :14:13. | |
these countries probably do know exactly where the plane was and | :14:14. | :14:16. | |
other countries like America may well do too. At the moment without | :14:17. | :14:21. | |
the information in the public domain you can have two narratives and it | :14:22. | :14:24. | |
is impossible for one person to prove it one way or the other. | :14:25. | :14:29. | |
Another question we got during last night 's edition of Outside Source, | :14:30. | :14:35. | |
we got a number of people asking: I didn't know the answer to this and | :14:36. | :14:54. | |
lots of you started tweeting media answer which I was very grateful | :14:55. | :15:00. | |
for. This boils down to this problem is here. The bottom area is where | :15:01. | :15:04. | |
the Russian plane went, but this is about the broader province. We want | :15:05. | :15:13. | |
to explain why it is in Turkey and not in Syria. The province has been | :15:14. | :15:18. | |
part of Turkey since 1939, but you look at the map and see Turkey, the | :15:19. | :15:24. | |
question raises why? If you see Turkey, it is just a rectangle and | :15:25. | :15:28. | |
it is a small part of the territory retreat extending towards Syria. It | :15:29. | :15:41. | |
has a history. -- which is extending towards Syria. After the world War | :15:42. | :15:45. | |
Britain and France were carving up their areas of influence and the | :15:46. | :15:51. | |
province became part of Syria and Lebanon on mandated by the French. | :15:52. | :16:03. | |
Turkish Republic started to push for taxation in that area, because there | :16:04. | :16:08. | |
was a huge Turkish speaking population in the province. Other | :16:09. | :16:14. | |
powers decided to grant that wish, because they wanted Turkey to stay | :16:15. | :16:24. | |
neutral. It has become a part of the Turkish Republic since then. That | :16:25. | :16:30. | |
did not go so well with Syria. The Syrian officials refused to | :16:31. | :16:33. | |
recognise the new borders, but the issue took a back-seat in missionary | :16:34. | :16:41. | |
and became dormant. It is raise rarely. I have just tweeted that | :16:42. | :16:48. | |
video if you would like to see it or share it with anyone. A bit later on | :16:49. | :16:52. | |
Outside Source we will be looking at this. Bush fires that have been | :16:53. | :16:56. | |
engulfing large areas of South Australia. This is part of the video | :16:57. | :17:01. | |
of one man as he drove through them, I will play you the whole thing a | :17:02. | :17:03. | |
little bit later. Now on another day this would have | :17:04. | :17:14. | |
been the lead story in the UK, net migration has hit an all-time high, | :17:15. | :17:17. | |
the difference between the number of people coming to live in Britain and | :17:18. | :17:23. | |
those emigrating with 336,000 in the 12 months to the end of June. Here | :17:24. | :17:28. | |
is the Immigration Minister James Brock and those emigrating with | :17:29. | :17:30. | |
336,000 in the 12 months to the end of June. Here is the Immigration | :17:31. | :17:45. | |
Minister James Brokenshire, who says they still want to get immigration | :17:46. | :17:51. | |
down. We want to see that firms are not reliant on overseas labour and | :17:52. | :17:55. | |
also we want to look at students. There is a net difference of 93,000 | :17:56. | :18:00. | |
on student numbers. We welcome students coming to our country to | :18:01. | :18:04. | |
study, but it is important they leave at the end of their studies | :18:05. | :18:08. | |
and it is that area we will be looking at closely in terms of | :18:09. | :18:10. | |
further changes. This I am Ros Atkins -- I am Ros | :18:11. | :18:25. | |
Atkins on Outside Source. The Russian leaders are going to be | :18:26. | :18:32. | |
sharing military information with France. First to Kenya where Pope | :18:33. | :18:39. | |
Francis celebrated Mass in front of a huge crowd in Nairobi. He also met | :18:40. | :18:44. | |
was in and Christian leaders where he emphasised the importance of | :18:45. | :18:56. | |
dialogue. -- in Muslim and Christian areas. Good news for all of you who | :18:57. | :19:13. | |
have bought Adele new album, she will be on torso. -- tour soon. Here | :19:14. | :19:24. | |
is Astoria I was not expecting, the sport editor has been tweeting about | :19:25. | :19:32. | |
the fact that Sebastien Coe is stepping down from his ambassadorial | :19:33. | :19:38. | |
role at Nike. Questions have been coming and coming about this role | :19:39. | :19:43. | |
with Nike. Here is what Lord Coe had to say earlier. I don't believe it | :19:44. | :19:50. | |
was a conflict-of-interest, I have always declared my interest with | :19:51. | :19:55. | |
Nike as I a range of activities. It was purely on the basis that I felt | :19:56. | :20:03. | |
that I needed to be able to focus on flinching the on the challenges | :20:04. | :20:10. | |
ahead. -- along with a range of activities. It had become a | :20:11. | :20:17. | |
distraction. There is no doubt about that. Let's hear our | :20:18. | :20:28. | |
correspondent's analysis. Ever since he became the most powerful man in | :20:29. | :20:32. | |
athletics, he has faced tough questions. Whether or not it was | :20:33. | :20:37. | |
right that he retained a paid role for Nike. Those questions only | :20:38. | :20:44. | |
intensified earlier this week when the BBC obtained an e-mail which | :20:45. | :20:51. | |
appeared to show that he had been in discussion with a senior Nike | :20:52. | :20:59. | |
executive over a bid for the 2021 for the world athletics | :21:00. | :21:03. | |
Championships in Eugene. He says it does not constitute a conflict of | :21:04. | :21:10. | |
interest, the pressure seems to have told though. He said it is not | :21:11. | :21:15. | |
because it is wrong, but because of the noise around the controversy. | :21:16. | :21:19. | |
Others say the timing is interesting, coming just two days | :21:20. | :21:23. | |
after that story, the calls for him to quit the role mirror Nike's | :21:24. | :21:37. | |
slogan, just do it. Time for OS business and we have been discussing | :21:38. | :21:44. | |
relations between Turkey and Russia being poor because of the shop down | :21:45. | :21:49. | |
Russian plane. They have close economic ties, this will be felt by | :21:50. | :21:57. | |
businesses in both. -- shot down. Last year 4.5 million Russian | :21:58. | :22:04. | |
tourists visited Turkey. However, President Putin has now warned | :22:05. | :22:09. | |
citizens against visiting the country because of security risks. | :22:10. | :22:14. | |
And one of Russia's the largest travel agencies has said it will | :22:15. | :22:18. | |
suspend selling package tours to the country. Turkey and Russia are also | :22:19. | :22:27. | |
major energy and commodity partners. Turkey is the second biggest buyer | :22:28. | :22:32. | |
of Russian natural gas after Germany and relies on Russia for oil, steel | :22:33. | :22:40. | |
and wheat supplies. The tensions may jeopardise a raft of projects | :22:41. | :22:42. | |
including a nuclear project in Turkey that is worth some $20 | :22:43. | :22:48. | |
billion and a gas pipeline that is a Keira should project. That report | :22:49. | :22:54. | |
from Tanya. This is another report, it is about another product that is | :22:55. | :22:59. | |
going to allow youthful opponents in your home. It has been shown at a | :23:00. | :23:01. | |
tech show in New York. It is a home monitoring device, it | :23:02. | :23:28. | |
has a sensor and a carbon monoxide sensor and a speaker and microphone. | :23:29. | :23:42. | |
This is a ball that drives the camera. There is one sensor | :23:43. | :23:51. | |
installed right here. This is a processing unit. There is the camera | :23:52. | :23:56. | |
patch right here. Do you fancy that? Not so sure about | :23:57. | :24:12. | |
that. Interesting report. Let's talk about this story, this is about an | :24:13. | :24:23. | |
app that you can get on Facebook. My most used words. It accesses your | :24:24. | :24:28. | |
data, it takes everything from Facebook, age, gender, education, | :24:29. | :24:34. | |
