Hello, I'm Christian Fraser, this is Outside Source.

:00:11.:00:12.

The rapprochement - Turkey's president Erdogan

:00:13.:00:15.

travels to St Petersburg - his first foreign trip

:00:16.:00:18.

since the attempted coup to rebuild damaged

bolt tells the BBC this will be his last Olympic Games -- Usain Bolt.

:00:21.:00:37.

A stark warning from the Syrian city of Aleppo.

:00:38.:00:40.

Amid searing summer temperatures water is drying up, putting children

:00:41.:00:42.

China has warned it really should share it with Britain could be

:00:43.:00:54.

jeopardised if Hinkley point's nuclear points does not get the

:00:55.:00:56.

go-ahead. Turkey's President has arrived

:00:57.:01:07.

in St Petersburg hoping to restore ties with Russia,

:01:08.:01:10.

following talks with It's Recep Tayyip Erdogan's first

:01:11.:01:13.

foreign visit since Relations between the two countries

:01:14.:01:18.

were plunged into crisis last November when Turkey shot down

:01:19.:01:23.

a Russian military jet TRANSLATION: The priority is to

:01:24.:01:45.

re-establish relations on the precrisis level and this is a very

:01:46.:01:49.

important task because the volume of Turkish Russian terrain was down by

:01:50.:01:57.

43% -- trade. This process has started but it will take some time

:01:58.:02:06.

to re-establish. We have had a comprehensive and constructive

:02:07.:02:08.

discussion today which has taken place after a long time and after an

:02:09.:02:13.

incident which you are aware of, it is the first of its kind since that

:02:14.:02:21.

incident and also it's also my first foreign visit since the 15th of July

:02:22.:02:34.

crude attempt -- coup. We want to bring relations back to precrisis

:02:35.:02:38.

levels and take them beyond and both parties are resolved in this regard.

:02:39.:02:43.

Our correspondent in Houston bill is Mark Lohan -- Istanbul. The

:02:44.:02:54.

monuments in the heart of Istanbul, standing proudly behind modern

:02:55.:03:00.

Turkey's founding father on the Russian generals who helped Turkey

:03:01.:03:04.

during its war of independence. 90 years on, the relationship between

:03:05.:03:08.

the two countries is tricky. President Erdogan hopes to improve

:03:09.:03:11.

ageing this visited St Petersburg. It is the first time the two leaders

:03:12.:03:15.

have met since ties soured last November when Turkey shot down a

:03:16.:03:19.

Russian jet on the border with Syria. President Putin called that a

:03:20.:03:26.

stab in the back, banning Russian holidays to Turkey and

:03:27.:03:29.

holiday-makers fell by 90%. Turkish agricultural imports were also

:03:30.:03:34.

curbed. President Erdogan finally expressed regret and then came the

:03:35.:03:39.

attempted coup which emboldened the president. He called his counterpart

:03:40.:03:45.

to express support afterwards. Western leaders condemned the

:03:46.:03:50.

attempted coup but also condemned the widespread purges and arrests

:03:51.:03:55.

that followed. Turkey's relations with the west are strained so there

:03:56.:03:58.

might be a new road with them with Russia. There is disagreement over

:03:59.:04:04.

Syria and Ukraine but there is also cooperation has Turkey is Russia's

:04:05.:04:09.

main energy provider and the two are big trading partners. Erdogan and

:04:10.:04:12.

Vladimir Putin are strong male leaders who, lacking many other

:04:13.:04:15.

friends in the world, need each other.

:04:16.:04:16.

Two strongmen who need each other - but for all the warm

:04:17.:04:19.

diplomacy there was a moment where the Russian President

:04:20.:04:21.

Take a look at this - just a warning there is some flash

:04:22.:04:25.

And you will see President Putin stood there on his own -

:04:26.:04:37.

waiting at the Konstantin palace outside St Petersburg for for well

:04:38.:04:40.

over a minute until his Turkish counterpart did finally arrive.

:04:41.:04:50.

These events - as you'll know - are very well choreographed right

:04:51.:04:53.

President Putin did eventually get his handshake.

:04:54.:04:55.

If you were lucky enough to be a hanger-on at that summit

:04:56.:04:58.

you would have a received a plate with the handshake on it.

:04:59.:05:04.

A collector's item, no doubt, for those who go in for

:05:05.:05:07.

We got more than what was happening on the Russian site today about how

:05:08.:05:22.

Vladimir Putin views this relationship. He is one of the first

:05:23.:05:30.

to call President Erdogan to talk about the attempted coup and express

:05:31.:05:38.

support. Erdogan appreciates that. The subject was the economy. It

:05:39.:05:43.

wasn't mentioned during the press conference. Also the project to

:05:44.:05:51.

build a nuclear power station in Turkey and if these two projects

:05:52.:05:55.

would be enough for Russia to go on for a stronger cooperation and to

:05:56.:06:00.

add to the 30 billion tribulations that they have with Turkey before

:06:01.:06:05.

the whole thing went upside down -- had with Turkey. It has been

:06:06.:06:11.

damaging to both sides but there is also politics in this because Mr

:06:12.:06:16.

Erdogan has been politicised by the West for his clamp-down after the

:06:17.:06:23.

crew and I sense that Putin sees an opportunity. Yes, good isolation but

:06:24.:06:26.

Vladimir Putin would also like to see a country that is a member of

:06:27.:06:31.

Nato, well-connected West and United States, to be one of its allies and

:06:32.:06:39.

to say we're with you and get a chip off the stolen. It would be a great

:06:40.:06:48.

vertically dumbing victory for them strategically but Erdogan shows he

:06:49.:06:57.

has not broken and not -- is strong. That message will be picked up by

:06:58.:07:01.

the Russian media, the show of strength. He is a magnanimous leader

:07:02.:07:06.

who is forgiving and receives friends, although he had to wait for

:07:07.:07:09.

a couple of minutes, but he is still very patient. He is a statesman. The

:07:10.:07:16.

image that Vladimir Putin treated for himself over the past few years,

:07:17.:07:22.

that will be strengthened now. On that theme, presumably this goes

:07:23.:07:24.

down well with the Russian public that he'd does the Russian president

:07:25.:07:28.

sitting down next to Vladimir Putin -- Turkish president, calling him

:07:29.:07:31.

his dear friend after the last nine months. The body language from Mr

:07:32.:07:42.

Putin was very serious. Erdogan was asking, almost, please give me your

:07:43.:07:46.

support, love me, forgive me. I've done that. That was played out in

:07:47.:07:55.

front of Russian media. A lesson in high-stakes diplomacy.

:07:56.:07:56.

Canoeing, rugby, gymnastics on tonight's menu.

:07:57.:08:02.

Let's take a quick look at the medals table.

:08:03.:08:05.

There's the US out in front with five gold medals.

:08:06.:08:12.

Closely followed by China and Australia in third.

:08:13.:08:16.

I think that will change because in the last few minutes, detainees

:08:17.:08:25.

weightlifter won gold in the women's category with a combined total of

:08:26.:08:31.

262 kilograms. The US also down to second, Australia doing quite well

:08:32.:08:36.

in third. They have two gold medals. Let's talk to Chris Mitchell in a

:08:37.:08:45.

Rio for us. Extraordinary performances in the women's gym this

:08:46.:08:51.

evening. Yes, the all-round team contest. Simone is the superstar.

:08:52.:09:01.

She is hotly fancied to win a gold. That should be completed in the next

:09:02.:09:04.

couple of hours. Everyone is talking about what is going on at the

:09:05.:09:08.

diving. It is the women's synchronised ten metre platform just

:09:09.:09:12.

now and if you look at the television pictures, the Bullock

:09:13.:09:15.

scheme and I've been looking and it is green -- the pool looks green.

:09:16.:09:23.

There is a lot of chat on social media about why it looks clean. The

:09:24.:09:28.

organising committee are well aware and will release a statement

:09:29.:09:37.

shortly. Lots of scientists are saying it make the algae because of

:09:38.:09:48.

the wrong chemicals. France won the canoe slalom a few minutes ago. The

:09:49.:09:55.

real surprise, at 29 the winner is a bit of a veteran in the canoeing

:09:56.:09:59.

world. He wasn't expected to win this. It was as if his time had gone

:10:00.:10:04.

and he wasn't expected to win this. An unexpected gold for France. At

:10:05.:10:10.

the equestrian event, they won the team event, very pleased with that

:10:11.:10:13.

because it looked as though Australia had a chance to beat them

:10:14.:10:19.

and Christopher Burton for Australia put in a flawless round. They would

:10:20.:10:22.

have got close to the French. He knocked two bars off and the French

:10:23.:10:27.

team celebrated saw a great day for the French, two gold medals for them

:10:28.:10:33.

so far. A little later on, behind me in the distance, is the swimming

:10:34.:10:36.

pool where Michael Phelps will be swimming in lanes next to each other

:10:37.:10:40.

in the final of the 200 metres butterfly. That is one of the

:10:41.:10:45.

biggest events of these games. Let's hope that what is different in the

:10:46.:10:51.

diving pool! Let's talk about the loyalty of track and field, using

:10:52.:11:00.

bolt -- Usain Bolt. This is going to be his last Olympics. I think we

:11:01.:11:03.

were all aware this was going to be his last Olympics. He makes to

:11:04.:11:07.

another world Championships but it's safe to say this is his last games.

:11:08.:11:12.

Michael Phelps said it was his last games in London and using the pool

:11:13.:11:18.

tonight and made when gold! -- he is in the pool. 300 plus people were

:11:19.:11:29.

there and he was dancing the samba. He talks a good game and always

:11:30.:11:34.

comes up with the goods. He is going for the triple. It's what he did in

:11:35.:11:40.

London and Beijing and he fully expects to do it here in a Rio. He

:11:41.:11:46.

has, as you say, been talking to our sports editor. I try not to worry

:11:47.:11:53.

too much about these things. I do my part, I do what I can, but I just

:11:54.:12:00.

try to focus on competing and entertaining people. That's what I

:12:01.:12:05.

try to do. How do you feeling yourself? You had an injury issue.

:12:06.:12:10.

Without you computed before Beijing? -- compared to before. I'm better. I

:12:11.:12:18.

was struggling but this year I am way past that. I'm running faster

:12:19.:12:24.

and feeling much better. Are these your last games? My last Olympics,

:12:25.:12:30.

for sure. Is that sad to think about or you just excited? And coming here

:12:31.:12:36.

to accomplish something and set the bar high and to be the best that I

:12:37.:12:40.

can be. When I've accomplished what I want, I'm going to be satisfied

:12:41.:12:45.

with what I've done. You can't be disappointed with that. I'll be sad

:12:46.:12:50.

to leave the sport after a couple of years. I do starting to think about

:12:51.:12:56.

life after running? Definitely, but I definitely want to stay in track

:12:57.:13:00.

and field. I want to be a part of this, trying to help continue to

:13:01.:13:03.

push someone on the right road because we are going on the right

:13:04.:13:06.

road to clean up sport and make sport a better place. How will

:13:07.:13:13.

athletics fare without you? I don't know. As long as somebody is

:13:14.:13:19.

stepping up. It is a young ones that are coming through. But you had

:13:20.:13:24.

replaceable, aren't you? There's going to be difficult to follow me!

:13:25.:13:29.

But you never know who's going to show up. It's about charismatic.

:13:30.:13:35.

People love that about me and my energy, so in a few years, you never

:13:36.:13:39.

know who will show up but hopefully somebody will show up. A lot has

:13:40.:13:45.

been said about you and just because of what he said about your injury

:13:46.:13:50.

and what you said back. Is it like boxing, these kind of comments? Are

:13:51.:13:56.

you friends behind that? We're not friends. We're cool. We'll have a

:13:57.:14:02.

conversation but we don't really talk. I try not to listen, I just

:14:03.:14:09.

try to move on. You can say words but if you can't back it up, it's a

:14:10.:14:13.

waste of time. If you can pull this off and when three, never been done

:14:14.:14:17.

before, how great an achievement you think that will rank in of sport? I

:14:18.:14:23.

think it would be up there. People have tried over the years so for me

:14:24.:14:28.

to do this would be a big thing because no one has accomplished it.

:14:29.:14:34.

That's why so focused. As I told you guys, I want to be amongst the great

:14:35.:14:39.

Muhammad Ali. I have two Shropshire and do what I have to do. Great

:14:40.:14:46.

insight from Usain Bolt. He begins the action on the track on Saturday.

:14:47.:14:51.

He says confident. Thank you very much. If you want to keep an eye on

:14:52.:14:55.

what is happening in Rio, it is all on the sports web page. All the

:14:56.:15:02.

action on day four and the reaction to the diving last night. Stay with

:15:03.:15:11.

us, we'll be talking cyber weapons. The secret coding planted in the

:15:12.:15:15.

depths of computer systems, is it state-sponsored? We'll be finding

:15:16.:15:16.

out. Our lead story, Turkey's president

:15:17.:16:37.

makes his first foreign trip since the attempted coup to rebuild

:16:38.:16:41.

damaged relations with Russia. Let me tell you about what the language

:16:42.:16:44.

services covering in the BBC newsroom.

:16:45.:16:46.

Japan has warned that ties with China are deteriorating

:16:47.:16:48.

after Chinese vessels repeatedly entered disputed waters

:16:49.:16:50.

On Friday, about 230 Chinese vessels sailed near islands

:16:51.:16:57.

BBC Brasil reports that Brazil's Senate will vote later

:16:58.:17:03.

on whether to send suspended president Dilma Rousseff to within

:17:04.:17:06.

Rousseff's opponents need a simple majority to open

:17:07.:17:10.

And online, many of you have been watching this: It's

:17:11.:17:16.

a new world record set by the largest number of robots

:17:17.:17:19.

This robot dance troupe, and there are 1,007 of them

:17:20.:17:28.

in total, all of them measuring just over 40cm tall, shimmied

:17:29.:17:30.

in unison for 60 seconds at a Beer Festival in China.

:17:31.:17:41.

Beijing has issued a thinly-veiled warning to the UK that relations

:17:42.:17:45.

between the two countries are at risk if the plans

:17:46.:17:47.

for a joint nuclear project don't go ahead.

:17:48.:17:49.

The nuclear plant at the Hinkley Point site in England

:17:50.:17:55.

China is expected to fund around a third of that cost.

:17:56.:18:01.

But last month the UK Government announced a review of the plans.

:18:02.:18:04.

Today, in the Financial Times, China's ambassador to the UK -

:18:05.:18:10.

Liu Xiaoming - urged the UK to give the project the go-ahead.

:18:11.:18:15.

"Right now, the China-UK relationship

:18:16.:18:23.

is at a crucial, historical juncture.

:18:24.:18:24.

Mutual trust should be treasured even more."

:18:25.:18:26.

With a bit more insight here's our China editor Carrie

:18:27.:18:28.

This warning from the Chinese Ambassador is the sternest

:18:29.:18:34.

But by the standards of Chinese pronouncements of displeasure it's

:18:35.:18:38.

actually quite mild, in my view.

:18:39.:18:44.

They've got a difficult problem, because they want to influence

:18:45.:18:46.

the argument in London, they want to get the jungle drums

:18:47.:18:49.

going from the business elite in the City of London to get that

:18:50.:18:52.

message to Downing Street that there will be deals that

:18:53.:18:55.

will fall if this Hinkley deal is cancelled.

:18:56.:18:58.

But they don't want to make the argument for those in the UK

:18:59.:19:04.

political establishment who are concerned about Chinese

:19:05.:19:08.

threats and the possibility of security implications of Chinese

:19:09.:19:10.

involvement in a big critical infrastructure

:19:11.:19:12.

So, carefully trying to calibrate the language of that piece

:19:13.:19:19.

about cherishing mutual trust, keeping the door open in the UK,

:19:20.:19:23.

not damaging the relationship, but not a Force-10 rage

:19:24.:19:26.

That, we would expect to see if the project

:19:27.:19:34.

does take place because they've invested a lot in this,

:19:35.:19:39.

they've put a lot of political capital behind it,

:19:40.:19:41.

the Chinese President went to London, signed the deal,

:19:42.:19:49.

it was unveiled with much red carpet and gold carriages on the Mall

:19:50.:19:52.

And so, given that and given how important the UK is to them

:19:53.:19:57.

as a showcase for nuclear technology and nuclear co-operation,

:19:58.:20:04.

here's a big advanced country with a very strict safety regime,

:20:05.:20:06.

that would enable them to promote their nuclear technology

:20:07.:20:10.

exports around the world if the UK did come on board.

:20:11.:20:12.

So it matters to them, the deal, and it's very humiliating

:20:13.:20:15.

So I think this warning is just being fed into the decision-making

:20:16.:20:19.

at this point to ensure that from China's point,

:20:20.:20:22.

the decision goes in the right way, and that that golden age language

:20:23.:20:25.

can continue rather than starting on any language of a dark age.

:20:26.:20:36.

China is proving a particularly difficult market to get down for

:20:37.:20:42.

foreign companies but now the biggest e-commerce company in the

:20:43.:20:48.

world is getting a chance. They say they will pair up with 50 tech

:20:49.:20:52.

businesses to help them enter China's $450 billion market. The top

:20:53.:21:05.

man at Alibaba is a big figure in the heated states but he seems to be

:21:06.:21:09.

pushing some of this investment towards his own country, China. The

:21:10.:21:13.

big challenge as you highlighted is that it's really hard for American

:21:14.:21:20.

companies are western companies to get into China saw a good example of

:21:21.:21:30.

that was Uber, who walked away from their China investment because it

:21:31.:21:34.

was very difficult for a few reasons because there is a culture

:21:35.:21:37.

difference and the way business is done is a little bit different. What

:21:38.:21:44.

the head of Alibaba wants to do is encourage more tech companies to

:21:45.:21:47.

come into China and he is doing that by opening up China's closed due to

:21:48.:21:54.

system -- Alibaba's computing system. He was to allow companies to

:21:55.:22:00.

use that infrastructure he has built to bring their software into the

:22:01.:22:05.

company. Some say he is a little bit like Bill Gates, a Chinese version.

:22:06.:22:12.

Is that fair? He's certainly very interesting and charismatic and well

:22:13.:22:16.

known in China. When he first got Alibaba to trade here in New York on

:22:17.:22:22.

the New York Stock Exchange, there was quite a bit of outraged because

:22:23.:22:27.

he wasn't as well known here in the US. I remember him giving a speech

:22:28.:22:32.

either the economic club here in New York and that was one of the very

:22:33.:22:35.

first big introductions that the western world really had to the

:22:36.:22:40.

charismatic leader of Alibaba. Thanks for joining us. Let's talk a

:22:41.:22:47.

little bit about this. I wonder if the head of Alibaba would be able to

:22:48.:22:53.

figure this out. It is the cyber weapon at Internet security firms

:22:54.:22:56.

have found on the computer systems of more than 30 organisations in

:22:57.:23:03.

Russia, Iran and Rwanda. It has been hiding undetected for up to five

:23:04.:23:06.

years and who knows what kind of information it has been harvesting

:23:07.:23:09.

and sending back to those who wrote it? We don't one-off a lot about it,

:23:10.:23:14.

with it came from or how it works but her technology unit has been

:23:15.:23:20.

telling us what we do now. It came to the attention of two companies.

:23:21.:23:28.

One company said they saw unusual data traffic going back and forth to

:23:29.:23:33.

a client in an unnamed location. Analysing that, they found the

:23:34.:23:38.

malware, source files and detected it in more than 30 other

:23:39.:23:42.

organisations. Its extremist sophisticated, isn't it? In layman

:23:43.:23:46.

's terms, the coding looks very similar to coding you might see from

:23:47.:23:53.

Microsoft. It will disguise itself as files on a computer and the

:23:54.:23:59.

filenames will look like something harmless, something that Microsoft

:24:00.:24:01.

may publish, so it is not immediately obvious that but this is

:24:02.:24:06.

something nefarious. What we don't know is what it is sending back and

:24:07.:24:11.

how, but most importantly, who put it there? Exactly, there are so many

:24:12.:24:16.

unknowns. Someone has put a lot of effort into making it very hard to

:24:17.:24:19.

figure out who is behind it. We know that the capabilities are

:24:20.:24:24.

significant. It could steal data from computers. It could even pick
