:00:12. > :00:20.Hello, I'm Karen Giannone E, this is Outside Source. Reports from Syria

:00:21. > :00:26.said dozens of people have been killed in an air strike on a refugee

:00:27. > :00:31.camp. Strong winds help spread the Canada wildfire, forcing three more

:00:32. > :00:42.communities to evacuate. You can feel the heat commit this is insane.

:00:43. > :00:45.Amazing scenes in Kennaugh, as this woman and three others are rescued

:00:46. > :00:49.from the ruins of a building, six days after it collapsed. Also the

:00:50. > :01:05.latest on the Europa League semifinals going on right now.

:01:06. > :01:11.Let's start with that developing story coming out of Syria. Activists

:01:12. > :01:16.say an air strike has hit a refugee camp in the north of the country.

:01:17. > :01:19.This is the latest information we have got in. Reuters news agency

:01:20. > :01:23.saying at least 28 people have been killed. They are quoting the Syrian

:01:24. > :01:28.Observatory for human rights, also reporting women and children have

:01:29. > :01:32.died in the attack. Already we are seeing some disturbing pictures

:01:33. > :01:35.coming out, reportedly the aftermath of the attack, showing at least a

:01:36. > :01:41.dozen tents burned to the ground. It is not yet clear is responsible for

:01:42. > :01:47.this. Let's just show you exactly where this is taking place, a camp

:01:48. > :01:51.for internally displaced people in Syria, near the Turkish border. The

:01:52. > :01:56.camp is home to thousands of people who have fled from the war in Iraq

:01:57. > :02:04.-- surrounding provinces. What sort of information is urging? What we're

:02:05. > :02:09.hearing from activists is at least 28 people have been killed.

:02:10. > :02:11.Apparently that includes women and children. Certainly what we are

:02:12. > :02:16.hearing from all of the people at the camp, there are quotes from

:02:17. > :02:20.people at the camp, they are saying it was an air strike, and they are

:02:21. > :02:25.blaming either Russia or the Syrian military for carrying it out. At

:02:26. > :02:28.this stage an OBE has come out and said it was asked? We have had no

:02:29. > :02:32.confirmation of this but that is what the ball on the ground believe.

:02:33. > :02:35.We have had a statement from the White House, in which they condemn

:02:36. > :02:41.this attack, they say they also believe it was an air strike. The

:02:42. > :02:46.softest of soft targets, a refugee camp, with people who have run away

:02:47. > :02:49.from this kind of thing. We think, though we can't be sure, that over

:02:50. > :02:58.the past couple of weeks a lot of people have fled from the major city

:02:59. > :03:01.of Aleppo, only about 30 miles away. We understand what people under this

:03:02. > :03:04.area because it is very close close to the Turkish border, a lot of

:03:05. > :03:09.camps there, so it could have been people fleeing from Aleppo, where

:03:10. > :03:13.there has been horrific violence over the last couple of weeks. Such

:03:14. > :03:21.a sensitive time, particularly with all of the discussions over the

:03:22. > :03:24.truce, such a shaky truce. It is hypersensitive right now. There has

:03:25. > :03:26.been a lot of talk about this nationwide ceasefire that came into

:03:27. > :03:31.force at the end of February, that it was falling apart. That actually

:03:32. > :03:35.was because of that violence I was talking about in Aleppo. Then,

:03:36. > :03:41.ironically over the last 24 hours or so, we have had a major push by the

:03:42. > :03:45.Americans, and with the Russians. They manage to get agreement from

:03:46. > :03:48.the different sides fighting in Aleppo, that they would actually

:03:49. > :03:53.hold some kind of truce. That has actually worked quite well. But now

:03:54. > :03:58.if this is an air strike and it has been carried out by the Syrian

:03:59. > :04:04.regime or by Russia, that would be another very big blow for the

:04:05. > :04:09.nationwide ceasefire. At this stage, nothing confirmed as yet. No, but

:04:10. > :04:13.certainly people can believe it was an air strike. What we also knows

:04:14. > :04:17.that this was in the north-west of Syria, very close to the Turkish

:04:18. > :04:24.border. That is mostly in the hands of rebel forces. It is a big mix of

:04:25. > :04:29.rebel forces, the more moderate ones, the free Syrian army but also

:04:30. > :04:33.the more radical groups, such as the Al must reference, the Al-Qaeda

:04:34. > :04:39.affiliated ones. Thank you for updating us. Let's take you back to

:04:40. > :04:43.the situation in Canada right now. An urgent emergency situation, a

:04:44. > :04:49.state of emergency declared in the Canadian province of Alberta. A huge

:04:50. > :04:53.wildfire continued to engulf the city of Fort McMurray. The entire

:04:54. > :05:01.city has been evacuated, and that has forced 88,000 people to leave

:05:02. > :05:04.their homes. The fire has been driven on by fierce winds. It has

:05:05. > :05:12.already gutted around 1600 buildings. There is a warning that

:05:13. > :05:19.the next 34 hours will be critical. One of those forced to flee, he has

:05:20. > :05:20.lived in Fort McMurray for around ten years. Let's show you what he

:05:21. > :05:51.filmed as he was rushing to safety. A hasty sit. It might have been the

:05:52. > :05:58.last time I saw my house Rafa. -- right there. Trying to make a hasty

:05:59. > :06:12.exit. The last time I ever saw my house.

:06:13. > :06:17.We don't know what has happened to his house, but we know he is OK. We

:06:18. > :06:24.spoke to him a short while before we came on air. Unseasonably hot

:06:25. > :06:30.temperatures combined with dry conditions has transformed much of

:06:31. > :06:35.Alberta into a tinderbox. They are praising the Herculean efforts of

:06:36. > :06:43.the firefighters. Our primary task is preservation of life. This is a

:06:44. > :06:48.very serious fire we are working with, comet has orally taken on a

:06:49. > :06:53.city. Our team on the ground is getting as close as they safely can

:06:54. > :07:00.to eat area. Here is our correspondence, James Cook. 20

:07:01. > :07:03.kilometres or so outside the city. Why are we here? This is the cord

:07:04. > :07:09.on, no one is allowed any further than this apart from essential

:07:10. > :07:14.workers. You will see in a minute I think a lorry appearing in the shop.

:07:15. > :07:20.This is because the fire is still burning along this road. We can see

:07:21. > :07:24.the smoke from it down there on the road. I can smell it in the, I can

:07:25. > :07:27.taste it, as she is occasionally small bits of ash flowing through

:07:28. > :07:32.the air. The fire very much continuing to burn. It has moved

:07:33. > :07:34.south. We are south of Fort McMurray and it has threatened three other

:07:35. > :07:39.communities which were evacuated last night. More people having to

:07:40. > :07:45.flee down to the south to Edmonton, the main city to the south, well

:07:46. > :07:50.over 80,000 evacuees. Other people effectively trapped to the north.

:07:51. > :07:54.This is the only route out, Highway 63, the only to get out. But people

:07:55. > :07:57.did flee to the north because they were unable to get through to the

:07:58. > :08:05.city to the south. They asked at essentially in oil camps. This is

:08:06. > :08:09.the oil sounds region of Alberta. We are told they are not in imminent

:08:10. > :08:15.danger but there is some concern about what direction the fire might

:08:16. > :08:22.take next. Why is this fire so ferocious, why does it keep going

:08:23. > :08:26.like this? The conditions are simply exceptionally dry, a lot of

:08:27. > :08:29.brushwood, fuel for the fire. It has been fanned by winds that die down

:08:30. > :08:35.this morning but up against now. It is breezy now. It was very hot

:08:36. > :08:39.yesterday, around 30 Celsius, temperature today forecast to get to

:08:40. > :08:44.19 Celsius, but that is still warm for this time of year. That

:08:45. > :08:49.combination is just fuelling this fire, make it very difficult for the

:08:50. > :08:52.firefighters to stop it. Dirkie's primer Nistor has urged his party

:08:53. > :09:01.not to fall apart after announcing he won't stand again as its lady.

:09:02. > :09:07.Ahmet Davutoglu's relationship with the

:09:08. > :09:13.this could worry many Western leaders who find Dirkie's divisive

:09:14. > :09:18.leader difficult to handle. In his speech today, Ahmet Davutoglu said

:09:19. > :09:24.he has always supported President further one. TRANSLATION: I will

:09:25. > :09:29.maintain my loyalty to our president until my last. No one has ever heard

:09:30. > :09:34.a word from me against our president and never will. I would like this to

:09:35. > :09:43.beat and clearly and I won't let this be exploited. The honour of our

:09:44. > :09:50.president, as president of the Turkish Republic, is my honour.

:09:51. > :09:55.His successor will be chosen when congress meets

:09:56. > :09:58.This is one of the early contenders -

:09:59. > :10:00.Transport Minister Binali Yildirim, he's known to be close

:10:01. > :10:03.The other name being floated is Energy Minister Berat Albayrak,

:10:04. > :10:06.So what do Turkish citizens make of this?

:10:07. > :10:20.TRANSLATION: Of course this is a surprising development at it was

:10:21. > :10:25.also expected. It was obvious there would be a rift between them. The

:10:26. > :10:31.president wants to introduce an executive presidency, so he gets rid

:10:32. > :10:36.of every obstacle in the way. TRANSLATION: At this rate, we will

:10:37. > :10:41.dive into chaos. I do know how he crises we have had. The Prime

:10:42. > :10:49.Minister was a good man. I love him. His departure would be good.

:10:50. > :10:52.TRANSLATION: This is an excellent situation. He wasn't happy with the

:10:53. > :10:55.Prime Minister. He will bring in someone who works hard. It is not

:10:56. > :11:02.good to oppose everything. It was the right decision. Mark Lowen is in

:11:03. > :11:09.Ankara, and I asked him whether he thought the Prime Minister jumped or

:11:10. > :11:11.was pushed? There was a pretty stormy meeting last night between

:11:12. > :11:14.the president and the Prime Minister to try to reconcile their

:11:15. > :11:18.differences and try to heal a strong rift at the top of Turkish politics.

:11:19. > :11:22.But it didn't work. Ahmet Davutoglu when he was appointed a couple of

:11:23. > :11:25.years ago, it was thought he was going to be rather a puppet to

:11:26. > :11:36.President erred again but has actually stood up to him on several

:11:37. > :11:39.occasions. -- President further one. -- President Erdogan. As you heard

:11:40. > :11:47.in that clip that person on the street he was against the idea of an

:11:48. > :11:52.executive presidency. That is his pet project. The fact he did not

:11:53. > :11:56.support that meant he lost the support of the president. We now

:11:57. > :12:01.expect a much more obedient primary stood to take his place. Why does

:12:02. > :12:05.what happens in Turkish politics matter so much also outside Turkey?

:12:06. > :12:12.A very good question. This is not just internal party politicking, it

:12:13. > :12:16.is defining the direction of the world's 17th largest economy, Nato's

:12:17. > :12:20.second-largest army. A country negotiating its membership to the

:12:21. > :12:27.European Union, the West's crucial ally in the Middle East, and what is

:12:28. > :12:32.happening here is that President further one, a very divisive

:12:33. > :12:40.president, who you either love all those, is tightening control of this

:12:41. > :12:46.country -- President Erdogan. The critics are calling it a coup by him

:12:47. > :12:56.and Stan elected Prime Minister. In the West it will be met with some

:12:57. > :13:02.unease. He has an abrasive style. There will be dismay in some western

:13:03. > :13:07.capitals that President Erdogan has a significant support base. European

:13:08. > :13:11.leaders in particular in rather a difficult position when it comes to

:13:12. > :13:15.dealing with Mr Erdogan, considering how much they need Turkey's

:13:16. > :13:22.cooperation with the micro-crisis for instance. They do, and Turkey

:13:23. > :13:29.has been the key to the migrant rivals in -- arrivals in Greece

:13:30. > :13:34.coming. Down from 10,000 a day back in October. Turkey has really been

:13:35. > :13:38.on board in curving that migrant crisis, but that is why there has

:13:39. > :13:41.been less criticism of President Erdogan on clamping down on free

:13:42. > :13:44.speech and human rights than some people would have liked. Because

:13:45. > :13:48.Europe needs Turkey on board, and that is why Brussels is getting

:13:49. > :13:51.criticism for not sticking to its principles, for kowtowing to the

:13:52. > :13:53.president rather than holding him to account about the rather decaying

:13:54. > :14:04.sense of democracy here. The head of Bangladesh's

:14:05. > :14:06.largest Islamist party, has lost a final appeal

:14:07. > :14:08.against the death penalty. The supreme court upheld

:14:09. > :14:10.the sentence imposed He was convicted for his role,

:14:11. > :14:13.in crimes committed during the country's war

:14:14. > :14:15.of independence against Pakistan While some, celebrated the decision

:14:16. > :14:36.- his party has called Motiur Rahman Nizami is facing

:14:37. > :14:39.execution. He will be given a few days to take the decision whether to

:14:40. > :14:46.ask for presidential clemency or not. The 71-year-old is convicted of

:14:47. > :14:51.rape and torture. The court said he helped the Pakistani army to kill

:14:52. > :14:54.leading Bangladeshi intellectuals just a few days before the country

:14:55. > :14:59.got independence. Prosecutors say this is a victory for the people who

:15:00. > :15:02.lost their family during Bangladesh's War of independence

:15:03. > :15:06.against Pakistan. They also said Justice has been served after 45

:15:07. > :15:14.years. Motiur Rahman Nizami is leading the largest Islamist

:15:15. > :15:16.political party. Motiur Rahman Nizami has denounced the verdict and

:15:17. > :15:25.called for nationwide protest on Sunday.

:15:26. > :15:32.The Prime Minister sat on the war crimes tribunal in 2010, since 2010

:15:33. > :15:35.three leaders of the family have been executed. Both executions have

:15:36. > :15:44.been followed by nationwide protests. Still to come here on

:15:45. > :15:45.Outside Source, how to cope with reality for people suffering from

:15:46. > :15:59.phobias by using virtual reality. The government and striking junior

:16:00. > :16:01.doctors in England have agreed to a fresh round of talks to resolve

:16:02. > :16:10.their dispute over the introduction of a new contract. Health editor

:16:11. > :16:13.Hugh Pym reports. Certainly a lot more so than 24 hours ago because

:16:14. > :16:17.then the two sides were as far apart as ever. The BMA was planning a

:16:18. > :16:21.meeting on Saturday which could have resulted in an escalation of the

:16:22. > :16:26.strikes, possibly to a continuous series of strikes across hospitals

:16:27. > :16:29.in England, and the government were saying we want to carry on with

:16:30. > :16:33.imposition. That is the position, that is where we will be. Then

:16:34. > :16:36.overnight we have this proposal from medical leaders, which initially was

:16:37. > :16:40.dismissed by the government, saying we don't want to halt any of our

:16:41. > :16:43.planning. Then they look hard at it this morning. Their version of

:16:44. > :16:47.events at the Department of Health is that they took a look at the

:16:48. > :16:51.detail, and thought if the BMA really are prepared to talk about

:16:52. > :16:55.Saturday pay, a very important issue as far as the government is

:16:56. > :17:02.concerned, let's go into it, the BMA having already accepted the idea.

:17:03. > :17:07.You are watching Outside Source, live from the BBC. The top story,

:17:08. > :17:13.there are reports that thousands of people have been killed in an air

:17:14. > :17:17.strike on a refugee in Syria. Who is the other parts of the BBC are

:17:18. > :17:22.reporting on right now. Zimbabwe is set to print its own version of the

:17:23. > :17:28.US dollar in order to ease a cash shortage. That story has been

:17:29. > :17:33.covered by BBC Africa. BBC Arabic is reporting on a concert in the

:17:34. > :17:37.ancient city of Palmyra, that was recently recaptured from so-called

:17:38. > :17:41.Islamic State. The Russian conductor has been performing there with his

:17:42. > :17:45.orchestra. Among the most read stories online, Craig Wright, the

:17:46. > :17:49.entrepreneur who claims to be the inventor of bit coin reneging on a

:17:50. > :17:58.promise to present new proof to support his case. An amazing story

:17:59. > :18:03.about how psychologists have found that virtual reality can be used to

:18:04. > :18:10.treat people with severe paranoia. Researchers at Oxford University and

:18:11. > :18:11.courage patients wearing headsets to enter computer-generated

:18:12. > :18:17.environments that would make them anxious in real life, like walking

:18:18. > :18:19.into a crowded lift. This is the kind of everyday situation that

:18:20. > :18:27.someone with severe paranoia would avoid. They fall sleep believed

:18:28. > :18:33.others are trying to harm them. This virtual choo journey could be a way

:18:34. > :18:37.of combating those fears. I tried out the system, designed by

:18:38. > :18:43.psychologists at Oxford University, funded by the medical research

:18:44. > :18:51.council. I will turn around, and go back to a chap here with a red

:18:52. > :18:56.shirt. DDR is an immersive experience. It feels realistic but

:18:57. > :19:02.you know it is not reality -- the VR. The team found was no successful

:19:03. > :19:05.in reducing the participants's sense of paranoia when they were

:19:06. > :19:10.encouraged to lower their defences, go to advertise -- avatars and

:19:11. > :19:15.realise they did not pose any threats. Toby knows what it is like

:19:16. > :19:19.to suffer severe paranoia. Diagnosed with schizophrenia more than 20

:19:20. > :19:23.years ago, he is now being successfully treated, but even

:19:24. > :19:29.walking down a street used to make anxious. They were what people call

:19:30. > :19:32.persecutory voices, so basically they were having a go at me and it

:19:33. > :19:39.made it very difficult to go outside, to interact with people. I

:19:40. > :19:44.found, session is very difficult. Toby agreed to try out the VR system

:19:45. > :19:52.for us. What did he make of it? Go toe to toe with that person. Toe to

:19:53. > :19:59.toe? How are you feeling? I feel OK actually now. I think if I go on a

:20:00. > :20:01.Tube train now I will certainly remember the virtual reality

:20:02. > :20:08.spurious, yes, so I suppose that will stay with me. And be a positive

:20:09. > :20:12.experience, yes. The study in the British Journal of psychology,

:20:13. > :20:16.showed that after just half an hour in the virtual setting, many of the

:20:17. > :20:22.30 patients who took part showed substantial reductions in their

:20:23. > :20:26.delusions. There is a revolution in VR at the moment, many headsets

:20:27. > :20:29.going on at the moment, it is very good and affordable and that we can

:20:30. > :20:35.use in psychiatric wards and clinics but also people's homes. And with

:20:36. > :20:39.virtual reality getting increasingly realistic, many believe it may

:20:40. > :20:44.eventually play a major role in the treatment of mental health. We

:20:45. > :20:48.wanted to share with you some of the amazing pictures coming from

:20:49. > :20:51.Kennaugh, where four people have been pulled from the rubble alive

:20:52. > :20:56.today, that is six days after a building collapsed. This is the

:20:57. > :21:01.moment we saw one person being rescued a little earlier today. And

:21:02. > :21:07.there is one more to come. They have been taken to hospital by the Kenyan

:21:08. > :21:11.Red Cross. 36 people are known to have died in Nairobi when that

:21:12. > :21:20.6-storey block of flats collapsed last Friday. Many more are still

:21:21. > :21:23.missing. It happened in the densely populated Huruma neighbourhood. The

:21:24. > :21:27.building's presumed owners have been released on Bale after being

:21:28. > :21:33.arrested on Monday. And soy sent us this scene. You get a sense of the

:21:34. > :21:37.huge excitement. This is the second person here, he has just been

:21:38. > :21:42.removed from the Dave Real I have, and the people here are cheering.

:21:43. > :21:45.They are very excited. The rescuers are saying they are not giving up,

:21:46. > :21:50.they are still hoping for more survivors, and today has been a

:21:51. > :21:53.great day for them. They have managed to pull out several people

:21:54. > :22:03.from the day three, and this, they say, is a miracle. Just two days

:22:04. > :22:06.ago, it lifted their spirits. Today they have been removing more people

:22:07. > :22:12.and it is very exciting, not just for the rescuers but for the people

:22:13. > :22:20.here. It is a difficult process of recovery. We saw that the building

:22:21. > :22:26.had collapsed totally, and so they have had huge rubble on top of them,

:22:27. > :22:30.so to be able to be removed here is something that many people are

:22:31. > :22:34.finding just unbelievable, and they are very happy for the survivors. We

:22:35. > :22:38.are told at least 70 people are still reported missing and the

:22:39. > :22:41.rescuers said they are not giving up hope, still hoping for more

:22:42. > :22:45.survivors. They are working around the clock to make sure anyone still
