Hello, this is Outside Source. Our top stories from the newsroom.

:00:13.:00:20.

President Obama has said Donald Trump is unfit to be president and

:00:21.:00:23.

has called upon Republican politicians not to endorse him. I

:00:24.:00:29.

think that the Republican nominee is unfit to serve as president. I said

:00:30.:00:34.

so last week, and he keeps improving it. In France the funeral has taken

:00:35.:00:41.

place of the priest killed by sympathisers of so-called Islamic

:00:42.:00:45.

State. In and we will get the latest from Syria, reports of a toxic gas

:00:46.:00:49.

being dropped on a town close to where a Russian helicopter was shot

:00:50.:00:55.

yesterday. And in Outside Source Sport we will take a look back at

:00:56.:00:59.

one of the stars of the 1948 Olympics.

:01:00.:01:17.

We're getting reports of toxic gas being dropped on a town in Syria

:01:18.:01:22.

near where a Russian military helicopter was shot down by rebels

:01:23.:01:26.

on Monday. The video has emerged apparently showing the aftermath of

:01:27.:01:32.

the attack. A quick update for you, in the past couple of hours, the US

:01:33.:01:36.

State Department has said that looking into the reports and if they

:01:37.:01:39.

are true it would be extremely serious. We have more details on

:01:40.:01:53.

this. Idlib is a silly province close to the border with Turkey. It

:01:54.:01:57.

has seen increasing attacks in the last few days. These people treated

:01:58.:02:01.

at the local hospital after inhaling toxic smoke. The video is filmed by

:02:02.:02:11.

staff in the town of Saraqeb Facey toxic gas was dropped a few nights

:02:12.:02:16.

ago. Dozens of people have been treated. The town is close to the

:02:17.:02:20.

area where a Russian military helicopter went down a day earlier.

:02:21.:02:24.

No group has yet claimed responsibility for the attack. In

:02:25.:02:28.

Aleppo another day of violence. These streets in the eastern part of

:02:29.:02:33.

the city, held by rebel groups. It has been under siege by government

:02:34.:02:38.

led forces. Rebel fighters launched a major offensive Sunday night to

:02:39.:02:43.

break the siege, and the battle has continued. Rebel groups say they are

:02:44.:02:49.

making quick progress. The Syrian military has released this video and

:02:50.:02:53.

says its forces have been fighting back. The government has denied

:02:54.:02:58.

rebel claims that areas controlled by it have been taken over by the

:02:59.:03:04.

opposition. This town was held by so-called Islamic State. But a major

:03:05.:03:11.

operation has been under way by US backed coalition to take control of

:03:12.:03:18.

it back from IS. Kurdish fighters are leading the bottle and no claim

:03:19.:03:22.

to have taken over large parts of the town. For Islamic State the town

:03:23.:03:29.

is an important link leading out of its stronghold and losing it would

:03:30.:03:30.

be a big blow. Thank you. Time for the sports section, the

:03:31.:03:49.

president of the IOC has called for an overhaul of the approach to drugs

:03:50.:03:57.

testing. He said he wanted a more efficient process. The session was

:03:58.:04:02.

dominated by questions about the Russian doping scandal but he

:04:03.:04:08.

defended his decision not to ban the Russian athletes en masse. Let's

:04:09.:04:15.

just consider the consequences of a nuclear reaction. The result is

:04:16.:04:20.

death and devastation. This is not what the Olympic movement stands

:04:21.:04:25.

for. The cynical collateral damage approach is not what the Olympic

:04:26.:04:31.

movement stands for. Meanwhile the UK anti-doping agency is waiting to

:04:32.:04:35.

learn why the cyclist Lizzie Armistead was cleared to race in Rio

:04:36.:04:41.

despite missing three drugs tests. Athletes have to make themselves

:04:42.:04:44.

available for testing one hour each day and informed the testers of

:04:45.:04:48.

their location. The British cyclist was temporarily suspended last month

:04:49.:04:52.

and was pending disciplinary action and successfully appealed to the

:04:53.:04:56.

Court of Arbitration for Sport. The cyclist now said that she was

:04:57.:04:59.

looking forward to putting the decision behind her. The decision

:05:00.:05:04.

has caused concern among other Olympians. When British rower, Zac

:05:05.:05:12.

purchase, has tweeted, saying, imagine what we would be saying if

:05:13.:05:18.

she was Russian. The first test, understandable but I would be

:05:19.:05:22.

extremely aware about missing per second and if I missed the second

:05:23.:05:25.

they would be no chance I would miss the third. That is what is happening

:05:26.:05:31.

with Lizzie Armistead. Let's move to football news. Halfway through the

:05:32.:05:35.

Premier League's summer transfer window the clubs have their

:05:36.:05:41.

cheque-books open. But how much are they spending? Business analysts

:05:42.:05:44.

Lloyds have been a number crunching. Get ready for some figures. Over the

:05:45.:05:50.

last few months they've forked out ?475 million. That's about $634

:05:51.:05:58.

million. Compared with ?515 million at the same stage in 2015. The

:05:59.:06:03.

overall figure for signings, in the summer window last year, ?870

:06:04.:06:11.

million. Deloitte says that could rise and there it is, ?1 billion for

:06:12.:06:17.

the first time ever, over $1 billion as well before the window finally

:06:18.:06:22.

closes on August 30 one. So we've still got a couple of weeks to go.

:06:23.:06:28.

Will Perry is that the BBC sports Centre. Let's get into some of this.

:06:29.:06:33.

Whoever once we should be looking at, these biggest deals, -- are the

:06:34.:06:40.

ones we should be looking at? Today, Leroy Hussain and his ?37 million

:06:41.:06:46.

move from Schalke to Manchester City brings the total spent by Premier

:06:47.:06:52.

League clubs since July one up to ?512 million. That figure compares

:06:53.:06:56.

with 3 million more than at the same stage last year. Where is this money

:06:57.:07:00.

being spent over the last month? Belgium side Michu Bhattarai - Michy

:07:01.:07:20.

Batshuayi. The salt we go Lolita was signed, Liverpool spent ?34 million

:07:21.:07:25.

on Sadio Mane from Southampton, and since then, Chelsea have paid the

:07:26.:07:30.

Premier League champions Leicester City and ?30 million for N'Golo

:07:31.:07:34.

Kante. And more significantly last week Juventus came up with ?75.3

:07:35.:07:41.

million, paying Napoli for their striker Gonzalo Viglen. The world's

:07:42.:07:43.

third largest transfer fee -2-to-1. - Higuain. The

:07:44.:08:06.

Paul Pogba case is being talked about, could you explain to our

:08:07.:08:10.

viewers how they could pay so much for one player? They start a new TV

:08:11.:08:17.

deal this season is at the prospect of increased revenue from the live

:08:18.:08:21.

broadcast deal has encouraged clubs to invest in this window to be as

:08:22.:08:26.

competitive as possible. Top-flight clubs have such enormous spending

:08:27.:08:33.

power, sky are paying ?4.2 billion, BT Sport ?960 million for the rights

:08:34.:08:37.

to show live Premier League matches over the next three seasons and as a

:08:38.:08:41.

result of that deal each club can now expect to receive between ?30

:08:42.:08:45.

million and ?50 million from the Premier League for

:08:46.:08:59.

this upcoming season. Take Manchester United. They are about to

:09:00.:09:03.

pay this world record fee for Paul Pogba, that can be funded purely by

:09:04.:09:05.

shirt sales, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, they signed him for free, they are

:09:06.:09:08.

paying him a salary but it's peanuts for what they get back, he has sent

:09:09.:09:10.

things into a new stratosphere, Manchester United reportedly paying

:09:11.:09:15.

millions of pounds in one week, so it's a combination of... Well it

:09:16.:09:28.

makes me and you combined with about 20 quid! Well, thank you for giving

:09:29.:09:33.

us the figures and putting it in context. If you seek football shirts

:09:34.:09:39.

you will think about this figures. In Turkey several officials have

:09:40.:09:43.

been fired in the wake of the coup that failed last month. Let's ring

:09:44.:09:50.

up and they said. They said the federation has deemed it necessary

:09:51.:09:55.

to dismiss 94 people including regional, nationally ranked reveries

:09:56.:09:59.

and assistant referees. It did not explain why they had been dismissed,

:10:00.:10:02.

that's just happened in the last few hours.

:10:03.:10:05.

In the run up to the Olympics in Rio, all this week on BBC

:10:06.:10:08.

World News we're looking at some past Olympic greats.

:10:09.:10:10.

David Eades has been looking back at the 1948 Olympics

:10:11.:10:13.

when Fanny Blankers-Koen, a 30-year old mother of two,

:10:14.:10:15.

demolished records, rivals and prejudices.

:10:16.:10:21.

I now unveil the roles of honour. Postwar Wembley, and the unveiling

:10:22.:10:33.

of the roll of honour after the first Olympics since the Berlin

:10:34.:10:37.

games with Hitler in 19th and is fixed. The 14th Olympic Games took

:10:38.:10:43.

place in London in 1948. The first Olympic Games for 12 years. Huge

:10:44.:10:48.

relief that it happened at all. It was also the first time that a

:10:49.:10:53.

female athlete emerged as, arguably, the greatest Olympian of the games.

:10:54.:10:59.

Family Blankers-Koen, family. COMMENTATOR: In the 100 metres dash

:11:00.:11:05.

the rest of the field seems to be standing still as the flying Dutch

:11:06.:11:10.

woman turns on the power. Family has the picture to herself as she

:11:11.:11:15.

finishes in 12 seconds flat. In the late 1940s and dominance was as

:11:16.:11:18.

complete as that of any athlete has ever been, in London that meant gold

:11:19.:11:23.

medals in the 100 metres, the 200 metres, the 800 metres hurdles and a

:11:24.:11:30.

relay gold. It was found upon, to a degree, women doing sport, let alone

:11:31.:11:40.

of beyond her time in the 1930s and the 1940s. COMMENTATOR: There tall,

:11:41.:11:47.

easy-going. And modest with it, say many, she might have won the high

:11:48.:11:51.

jump and the long jump but was only allowed to compete in three

:11:52.:11:56.

individual events. Family is away like a flash. Make no mistake, her

:11:57.:12:02.

nickname, the Flying Housewife, hit a drive to succeed. She was

:12:03.:12:08.

single-minded, determined, nothing interested her more than winning

:12:09.:12:11.

competitions. One hell of an athlete and it seems, one hell of a

:12:12.:12:20.

character. Punchbag returned to Holland was also the stuff of

:12:21.:12:22.

legends, no hiding the esteem in which she was held by a war where

:12:23.:12:25.

the population. But for that what she might have competed in five

:12:26.:12:28.

Olympics yet to 1948 and own the place of family Blankers-Koen in the

:12:29.:12:33.

Olympic pantheon was sealed. -- through 1948 alone, the place of

:12:34.:12:40.

family Blankers-Koen in the Olympic pantheon was sealed. You can see

:12:41.:12:48.

from these pictures that a poll almost sliced his vehicle in half.

:12:49.:12:52.

Five people were airlifted to hospital. In a fume and it's time we

:12:53.:12:58.

will take a look at the latest research into why woolly mammoths

:12:59.:13:05.

died out. Apparently they didn't have enough water. A man has been

:13:06.:13:12.

found guilty of raping and murdering a young woman that he promised to

:13:13.:13:16.

get home safely after approaching her outside and Northampton might

:13:17.:13:22.

club. Birmingham Crown Court heard that Edward Tinniswood, 52, raped

:13:23.:13:34.

and strangled India Chipchase. He was sentenced to 30 years in prison

:13:35.:13:37.

and 12 years to the right to run concurrently. This report. India

:13:38.:13:44.

Chipchase. Friends described her as a delightful girl always ready to

:13:45.:13:48.

help others but one night in January, the wrong place, wrong

:13:49.:13:52.

time, ended in her murder. This is the man who killed India.

:13:53.:13:58.

52-year-old Edward Tinniswood, alone and fantasist. -- tennis world. He

:13:59.:14:04.

had been passing by the nightclub when he spotted her. She had been on

:14:05.:14:09.

a night out with friends. Security footage from outside the club

:14:10.:14:17.

Tenniswood can be seen leaning towards his victim, urging her to

:14:18.:14:23.

talk to him. He was a self-confessed alcoholic who drank several bottles

:14:24.:14:28.

of wine a day, he claimed that he had managed to charm India, despite

:14:29.:14:32.

the fact that she was 30 years younger than him. He told the court

:14:33.:14:36.

it was she who had first made a sexual advance. Next, Tenniswood

:14:37.:14:40.

hailed a taxi, they can be seen in the top left of the picture. He

:14:41.:14:44.

admitted in court that he had promised India that she would get

:14:45.:14:49.

home safely. Instead they stopped here, at his terraced house where he

:14:50.:14:53.

raped and murdered her. He then headed to

:14:54.:15:12.

a local hotel where he spent the next 22 hours binge drinking. When

:15:13.:15:16.

the family of Tenniswood raised the alarm police traced Tenniswood to

:15:17.:15:18.

the hotel where he was arrested. India was again intelligent woman at

:15:19.:15:21.

the start of her life. She should have been able to enjoy a night out

:15:22.:15:24.

with friends and return home safely. It is clear that India was targeted

:15:25.:15:26.

by Tenniswood at a point in her life where she was most vulnerable and

:15:27.:15:29.

unable to defend herself. The actions, in my view, others of the

:15:30.:15:31.

worst predator. India Chipchase had in the weeks before her death

:15:32.:15:35.

decided she wanted to become a paramedic. That dream ended at the

:15:36.:15:40.

hands of an opportunistic colour. - killer.

:15:41.:15:52.

This is Outside Source, life. The lead story. President Obama has said

:15:53.:15:59.

Donald Trump is unfit to be president and has called upon

:16:00.:16:03.

Republicans not to endorse him. What you get next depends on what you

:16:04.:16:10.

where you live, outside the UK, it will be from America well some

:16:11.:16:14.

lawyers have made accusations that state power is being subdued. The

:16:15.:16:22.

BBC has been given exclusive access to lawyers and investigators

:16:23.:16:25.

fighting in court against so-called Islamic State.

:16:26.:16:34.

China has convicted the first of a high-profile group of activists who

:16:35.:16:40.

have been active for more than a year. One was shown on TV admitting

:16:41.:16:45.

to subverting state power. He was given a three-year suspended prison

:16:46.:16:49.

sentence, this crackdown has caused international concern as we report

:16:50.:16:55.

from outside the court. China's human rights crackdown finally

:16:56.:16:58.

reached court today with official state media saying the trial would

:16:59.:17:05.

be open but not to us. We were told to stop filming. This veteran human

:17:06.:17:12.

rights campaigner is one of around 20 activists and lawyers who have

:17:13.:17:17.

been detained since the sweeping crackdown last year. His suppose it

:17:18.:17:21.

confession has already been aired on state TV and today he was the first

:17:22.:17:26.

to be convicted. The charge, subversion. This is his wife, the

:17:27.:17:34.

wife of one of the human rights lawyers caught up in the crackdown.

:17:35.:17:39.

Relatives of the other defendants have been prevented from attending

:17:40.:17:43.

the trial and soon she also was sent away. A few hours later the BBC

:17:44.:17:48.

caught up with her in Beijing, together with her four-month-old

:17:49.:17:54.

baby. TRANSLATION: It was only after my husband was arrested that I

:17:55.:17:58.

realised I was pregnant. They have not let me see him since. So he may

:17:59.:18:05.

not even know he has a baby. A baby that is missing him. I have not

:18:06.:18:13.

named Hayat. I want him to do that. -- have not named her yet. This

:18:14.:18:19.

week, just before the trials began another prominent defence lawyer was

:18:20.:18:22.

also paraded in front of TV cameras. The main thrust of china's case is

:18:23.:18:27.

that she and her colleagues have used the human rights work to

:18:28.:18:33.

undermine the government but china's critics see an ulterior motive. For

:18:34.:18:37.

many outside observers including foreign government, there's only one

:18:38.:18:41.

conclusion to be drawn from what's happening inside this court. And

:18:42.:18:45.

that is, that China is engaged in an effort to ratchet up repression,

:18:46.:18:50.

rein in dissent, and to cement 1-party rule. Today one activist was

:18:51.:18:57.

handed a three-year suspended sentence. Given that subversion

:18:58.:19:02.

carries a maximum of life in prison the relative leniency might be a

:19:03.:19:06.

sign that China is paying some heed to the international concern. John

Southworth, BBC News, Tangent. Thanks to John for that.

:19:13.:19:20.

Pregnant women have been warned not to travel to the Zika virus affected

:19:21.:19:26.

part of Miami. This is after more cases have emerged, some probably

:19:27.:19:33.

caused by mosquitoes in this area near Miami. Pregnant women who had

:19:34.:19:37.

been in the zone since June 15 have been urged to get tested. A director

:19:38.:19:42.

from the Centre for control of the disease has been telling us more

:19:43.:19:48.

about their strategy. In Miami we are concerned about this particular

:19:49.:19:55.

community and we have advised pregnant women not to travel to this

:19:56.:19:58.

neighbourhood and pregnant women who must live and work there must do

:19:59.:20:03.

everything to minimise the possibility of mosquito bites. Our

:20:04.:20:08.

concern is to limit it before it continues to spread for a long

:20:09.:20:13.

period of time. If you are watching on BBC world News see more of that

:20:14.:20:16.

interview, that will be coming up on world News America. Now, some more

:20:17.:20:22.

details coming in about the demise of the woolly mammoths. Scientists

:20:23.:20:27.

studied a group that lived on a remote island off the coast of

:20:28.:20:29.

Alaska. One heard live 5000 years longer

:20:30.:20:44.

than most, scientists now believe they were driven to extinction by a

:20:45.:20:49.

lack of drinking water. Our science correspondent, Rebecca Morell. They

:20:50.:20:56.

were the icons of the ice age. But most woolly mammoths had died out by

:20:57.:21:01.

about 10,000 years ago. Some believe that humans played a role in their

:21:02.:21:06.

demise. But small-group managed to cling on. On a remote Alaskan island

:21:07.:21:13.

they survived for thousands of years longer. But they faced a different

:21:14.:21:21.

problem. At the end of the ice age the earth warmed up, and as sea

:21:22.:21:25.

levels rose the island began to shrink. Legs were lost to the ocean,

:21:26.:21:30.

forcing these giants to share ever scarcer watering lakes were lost.

:21:31.:21:36.

Their modern-day relatives drink up to 200 litres a day but they do not

:21:37.:21:40.

get enough water the consequences can be fatal. If they don't get

:21:41.:21:47.

enough water. Scientists think this is what happened to the mammoths as

:21:48.:21:51.

freshwater was replaced by sea water they could no longer survive. The

:21:52.:21:55.

age of the woolly mammoths had ended. Now to one tiny Scottish

:21:56.:22:05.

island which is having trouble recruiting a teacher. Parents have

:22:06.:22:08.

launched their own online such as someone with a love of the outdoors

:22:09.:22:12.

who can cope with the unique island lifestyle. Lorna Gordon reports from

:22:13.:22:21.

the island. Meet David, Jasper, Daniel, Kitty, Willow, Tara, and

:22:22.:22:25.

Hugh. Almost the entire school on this island. The new term starts in

:22:26.:22:30.

a fortnight and they still need a teacher so their families have taken

:22:31.:22:33.

to social media to sell the job and the island. I would want a teacher

:22:34.:22:40.

that knows how to garden, a teacher that knows how to teach lots of

:22:41.:22:50.

things. Fan, imaginative, happy teacher. -- a fan teacher. It is the

:22:51.:22:56.

smallest of the small Isles in Scotland, little over one mile from

:22:57.:23:00.

end to end. You won't find a classroom like this anywhere else,

:23:01.:23:03.

it did look in summer, in winter, very different. The island can get

:23:04.:23:11.

cut off, sometimes for days and the outgoing teacher says her

:23:12.:23:15.

replacement must come prepared. It's a short distance from the school to

:23:16.:23:18.

the hall and Sundays we would try that because it would be too windy

:23:19.:23:22.

to risk taking the children in that direction. Good waterproofs! Really

:23:23.:23:29.

good waterproofs! The island is at the mercy of the weather and the

:23:30.:23:34.

Atlantic waters, letters, food supplies and the doctors all have to

:23:35.:23:38.

come by boat. There are other rural and remote communities in Scotland

:23:39.:23:42.

which from time to time also have problems recruiting teacher and then

:23:43.:23:47.

getting them to stay long-term and while there can be challenges in a

:23:48.:23:50.

place like this there are also rewards. It's a beautiful island, a

:23:51.:23:58.

very good strong sense of community and everybody helps each other out.

:23:59.:24:05.
