Hello, and welcome to Outside Source. We now know for sure that

:00:12.:00:17.

Russia's entire team is banned from the Paralympics after their appeal

:00:18.:00:21.

was turned down. Is it fair? We'll hear from a Russian anti-doping

:00:22.:00:25.

official. In the UK, comedy focuses on Team

:00:26.:00:29.

GB, who arrived home today with their medals on an aeroplane adorned

:00:30.:00:33.

with a golden nose cone. We report on that.

:00:34.:00:39.

Strikes, floods and the threat of terrorism have been given for

:00:40.:00:42.

reasons why fewer tourists visiting Paris this year.

:00:43.:00:48.

Assyrian rebels a pair of a major offensive on so-called Islamic

:00:49.:00:52.

State, we'll hear from the editor of BBC Arabic to explain who each of

:00:53.:00:58.

the warring parties are. -- as Syrian rebels.

:00:59.:01:09.

We asked the greatest film of the century to a selection of critics,

:01:10.:01:13.

and you may be surprised at the answer.

:01:14.:01:22.

Russia will not compete at next month's Paralympics in Rio after

:01:23.:01:29.

losing an appeal against the ban for state-sponsored doping. Russia's

:01:30.:01:34.

Prime Minister described the same -- the decision as cynical and a blow

:01:35.:01:39.

to all disabled people, not only in Russia. The president of the

:01:40.:01:42.

International Paralympic committee said it is a sad day for the

:01:43.:01:47.

Paralympic movement, but we hope also a new beginning. He went on to

:01:48.:01:53.

say, we hope this decision act as a catalyst for change in Russia. That

:01:54.:01:59.

remains to be seen. Kate Gray, a former Paralympian, said it is

:02:00.:02:01.

important that athletes know that the games are fair. It has to be

:02:02.:02:07.

clean across-the-board. That is the only way we can all have peace of

:02:08.:02:11.

mind. I want to know everyone in a race I am in is as clean as I am.

:02:12.:02:19.

You are wondering if your Russian rival cheated or not, if they are

:02:20.:02:25.

involved in doping. Am I really the gold medallist? I don't think there

:02:26.:02:28.

is a correct answer to this or an easy way out of it, it's just a

:02:29.:02:32.

difficult situation to be in this close to the games. How does Russia

:02:33.:02:41.

go about winning back that trust? This was the acting head of Russia's

:02:42.:02:51.

anti-doping agency: We are trying to prove to the world we are changing.

:02:52.:02:56.

We provided that to the UK anti-doping agency. I think that --

:02:57.:03:03.

we provided data. It is not just a Russian problem, not all but many

:03:04.:03:08.

other countries have it. That is why clean Russian athletes should not be

:03:09.:03:13.

deprived of the right to participate in Rio. It will have quite an impact

:03:14.:03:17.

on the way the games play out. Take a look at this from 2012. This is

:03:18.:03:25.

the medal table. Russia placed second. They are now out of the mix,

:03:26.:03:35.

so how will this shake up? It will be interesting to see for the rest

:03:36.:03:43.

of the competition. Nick is in the BBC sports Centre, and he told me

:03:44.:03:46.

more about how this is viewed in Russia. Russia was really building

:03:47.:03:51.

towards what they thought would be their best attempt at bringing down

:03:52.:03:55.

the dominance of China at the Paralympics. They finished in 11th

:03:56.:04:02.

in Athens. They grew in Beijing to mid-table, 63 medals, if I remember

:04:03.:04:06.

correctly. Then built to London, where they were second on the table.

:04:07.:04:10.

I guess you have to think about the other athletes who are not former

:04:11.:04:17.

British Olympians, the ones that are the Russians. We have heard some

:04:18.:04:23.

deep, meaningful reactions from the track and field team. It is not just

:04:24.:04:27.

a shot, it seems like someone came and took everything from me. When

:04:28.:04:33.

you feel pain every day because of health problems and someone then

:04:34.:04:36.

says you are guilty when you have not done anything wrong, I cannot

:04:37.:04:43.

find words. A long jumper says: There is no common sense, no point

:04:44.:04:47.

in searching for hidden motives. We are simply pawns in a big game that

:04:48.:04:58.

we have nothing to do with. There was a quote suggesting it was a

:04:59.:05:04.

state-sponsored programme trying to bring Russia down. There are

:05:05.:05:11.

particular athletes and coaches who are because of the problem, and they

:05:12.:05:17.

think that targeting all disabled people is what this decision has

:05:18.:05:21.

done. That is the key that the Russian Prime Minister was putting a

:05:22.:05:24.

cause. We also saw the quote about it being a catalyst for change. As

:05:25.:05:28.

you follow this saga, which it has been over the last few months, that

:05:29.:05:34.

Russia might start with a clean slate for Tokyo 2020? They will go

:05:35.:05:38.

back to the drawing room and work out a more strict approach to how

:05:39.:05:42.

they manage doping issues. They think it is definitely a problem

:05:43.:05:46.

across the world, whether it is medicinal or not. Athletes who are

:05:47.:05:53.

not Russian constantly tell us they are taking drugs as well. It is a

:05:54.:05:58.

different reaction we are seeing from the IOC. A spokesperson said

:05:59.:06:08.

that banning all Russians would be the nuclear approach. The IPC have

:06:09.:06:12.

taken the nuclear approach, and they hope that it will cause the correct

:06:13.:06:21.

outcome for the long-term, not just in Paralympics but across the board,

:06:22.:06:25.

into the Olympic arena as well. Thank you for that analysis. Let's

:06:26.:06:32.

turn to Turkey. They bombarded so-called Islamic State

:06:33.:06:34.

across-the-board in northern Syria. I will show you the region in

:06:35.:06:38.

northern Syria we are talking about. The bombing has been in the northern

:06:39.:06:54.

town of Jarablus. People have been told to leave their homes. That is

:06:55.:07:08.

not from the town where bombing from so-called Islamic State at a wedding

:07:09.:07:16.

was responsible for several deaths. Turkey was seen as a reluctant part

:07:17.:07:19.

of the US-led coalition against so-called Islamic State. There was a

:07:20.:07:22.

time in the first part of the Syrian war when the border about an hour

:07:23.:07:27.

away from here was seen as largely porous, lugging jihadistss and

:07:28.:07:31.

weapons to cross freely into Syria, but then there has been a wave of

:07:32.:07:36.

IES bombings against Turkey in the larger, including one last Saturday

:07:37.:07:40.

against a wedding party, killing 50 people, all of the signs pointing to

:07:41.:07:46.

the idea that it was an IES attack. Now, Turkey is preparing for a major

:07:47.:07:55.

offensive against the IES- held town of Jarablus. Fighters are here in

:07:56.:08:00.

Turkey preparing for that post was last night, the Turkish Government

:08:01.:08:05.

opened an aerial bombardment campaign against IES positions to

:08:06.:08:08.

open up a corridor for that imminent offensive. At the same time, Turkey

:08:09.:08:14.

is bombing Syrian Kurdish positions because it does not want the coach

:08:15.:08:18.

to consolidate territory on the other side of the border because

:08:19.:08:21.

that could foster Kurdish separatism in Turkey. It is a two pronged

:08:22.:08:26.

attack that Turkey is considering and now launching. The fear for

:08:27.:08:31.

ordinary Turks is that that could prompt more IES revenge attacks in

:08:32.:08:35.

Turkey as this country increasingly pays the price of a war that is not

:08:36.:08:41.

its own. The Kurdish involvement in northern

:08:42.:08:45.

Syria is key to understanding why Jarablus is so important. They

:08:46.:08:49.

already control the region to the east. Let's move out. All this area

:08:50.:08:55.

is around here, they want to connect that territory to this territory

:08:56.:09:03.

that is farther west of Jarablus. It is also one the Turkish border. FA

:09:04.:09:12.

control Jarablus, they would have an uninterrupted swathes of land under

:09:13.:09:15.

control will stop the cards are only one active group in the region.

:09:16.:09:20.

There is also Syria, Turkey, Russia and the United States, all fighting

:09:21.:09:24.

against so-called Islamic State, but that does not mean they are allied

:09:25.:09:29.

with each other. The editor of BBC Arabic talked us through what each

:09:30.:09:33.

side is trying to achieve, starting with the Kurdish forces.

:09:34.:09:38.

It is clear and simple - they want an independent state, and they

:09:39.:09:43.

believe they have been promised that since 1920 and they have never had

:09:44.:09:46.

the chance to achieve it. They missed many occasions in the past

:09:47.:09:51.

decades to achieve it, but they didn't manage. Now they feel that

:09:52.:09:55.

this is the golden opportunity to achieve that. To get that, they need

:09:56.:10:01.

to gain more territories in a defined area where they can say,

:10:02.:10:07.

this is where we want to build our own state, or a minimum of autonomy,

:10:08.:10:12.

this is what they are aiming for. This is at odds with what Turkey is

:10:13.:10:16.

trying to achieve. Tell us about that. Turkey is the main enemy to

:10:17.:10:22.

this project. They feel it is a red line. They deal with the Kurdish

:10:23.:10:28.

ambitions as a national security issue, and this is not starting now,

:10:29.:10:33.

it started a long time ago, even when the PKK were fighting inside

:10:34.:10:39.

Turkey. Now they are ready to do anything to stop this project,

:10:40.:10:42.

because they feel this is really crossing beyond the aspirations of

:10:43.:10:48.

the Turkish strategy. I am going to introduce another group, Syrian

:10:49.:10:55.

Government for forces -- Syrian Government forces. Whether they come

:10:56.:10:59.

in? They are trying to send messages. It started as a war of

:11:00.:11:03.

survival, they felt like if they could join the fight against

:11:04.:11:07.

so-called Islamic State, this would help the Government in staying in

:11:08.:11:11.

power will stop what they are doing now is sending messages to Turkey

:11:12.:11:16.

that they are ready to fight against this Kurdish dream inside Syrian

:11:17.:11:29.

territories. This is Sun 's -- something they cannot allow. Syrian

:11:30.:11:35.

forces are fighting on their own land. This was a message that they

:11:36.:11:42.

sent during the weekend, by clashing with the Kurdish forces.

:11:43.:11:44.

Unfortunately, they did not manage to stay inside that area. It doesn't

:11:45.:11:51.

end there. We also have the United States and Russia involved. How do

:11:52.:11:58.

you see that? Now, Syria is, the future of Syria is being decided by

:11:59.:12:03.

superpowers as well. It is night own -- it is not only a fight of local

:12:04.:12:13.

parties. The Kurdish forces are seen as the main support to their

:12:14.:12:18.

presence in the region. After the Government forces in Syria are

:12:19.:12:22.

protected by the Russians and supported by the Russians. Now, we

:12:23.:12:27.

are in the process of seeing a shift in the Turkish position towards more

:12:28.:12:31.

understanding for the Assad position. This leaves the United

:12:32.:12:34.

States with one strong ally, which is the Kurdish forces inside Syria.

:12:35.:12:41.

They are trying to support them as much as they can, but now the game

:12:42.:12:46.

is open, and anyone has to show who is the much more powerful and who

:12:47.:12:53.

can impose its rules. This story is getting a lot of

:12:54.:12:57.

pick-up in the UK, about women who have children and how they can be

:12:58.:13:01.

paid up to a third less than men by the time their first child has

:13:02.:13:06.

reached 12 years of age. That's according to new figures from the

:13:07.:13:13.

think tank the Institute for Fiscal Studies. Mothers who take time out

:13:14.:13:18.

or work fewer hours miss out significantly. Let's hear from our

:13:46.:13:47.

but for mothers and graduates there is still

a significant pay penalty. In this London park

has been declining. In 1993 there was a 28% difference

:14:10.:14:11.

in the hourly income of But there are

:14:12.:14:14.

significant variations. For mothers the wage

:14:15.:14:18.

:14:19.:14:20.

reaches 12 years old. What happens when women

:14:21.:14:22.

reduce their hours of paid work, for whatever reason at that point

:14:23.:14:24.

a lot of them find that wage

:14:25.:14:27.

progression shuts down. That could be because they're

:14:28.:14:28.

genuinely not gathering the skills and experience that employers

:14:29.:14:31.

value in their jobs. It could be something to do

:14:32.:14:33.

with a form of discrimination or power that employers

:14:34.:14:35.

are exercising over those women in The workplace has certainly

:14:36.:14:38.

changed since the 1940s. But the persistent wage

:14:39.:14:40.

gap is still with us. Before a family arrives

:14:55.:14:59.

partially be true, is it really a choice

:15:00.:15:01.

when child care is so prohibitively

:15:02.:15:02.

expensive for many? Is it a choice when flexible

way from being hit. More in a couple of minutes from

Paris, where tourist numbers have fallen because of strikes, floods

:16:18.:16:27.

and fear of terrorist attacks. The Ministry of Defence says a soldier

:16:28.:16:31.

from The Royal Regiment of Scotland has died during a night-time

:16:32.:16:34.

exercise with live ammunition. It happened at the Otterburn training

area in Northumberland last night. Mark Benton is at the base. The red

is an indication that live firing is a possibility to stop a live firing

exercise was taking place here last night, a five-hour exercise,

:16:56.:17:04.

starting at 9pm and running until 2am. At 11:15pm it was reported that

:17:05.:17:10.

a soldier had a serious head injury. He died at the scene. This is one of

:17:11.:17:15.

the biggest military bases in the country. It is the second largest

story today. Time for Outside Source business. We

:18:26.:18:32.

will start in Paris, one of the world's top tourist destinations.

:18:33.:18:35.

Recently, the city of light has been shining a little less brightly. That

:18:36.:18:42.

is in the mains three minds of many holiday-makers. Strikes, floods and

:18:43.:18:47.

the threat of terrorist attacks have caused the creases in the numbers

:18:48.:18:51.

visiting. Let's take a look at exactly what that means in real

:18:52.:19:00.

terms. We'll begin with the big fear. We also have the tourist board

:19:01.:19:07.

figures, showing that Hotel visits are down by 8.5% in the yield of

France region in the first half of 2016. -- Ile de France. Hugh

:19:13.:19:28.

Schofield reports. This is what it is supposed to be like cinematic

:19:29.:19:32.

hundreds of happy Chinese tourists visiting a classic Parisi and dance

:19:33.:19:37.

show on the Champs-Elysees. Of course, there is more security

:19:38.:19:40.

nowadays, but even the police seem willing to relax a bit. Sadly, it's

:19:41.:19:47.

not all smiles around the must see sights of the city. Numbers are down

:19:48.:19:52.

by a lot. These new figures from the tourist board paint a grim picture.

:19:53.:19:58.

At the Arc de Triomphe, there are 35% fewer tourists than a year ago.

:19:59.:20:02.

At Versailles, numbers are down by 16%. At the Granta Lay Museum,

:20:03.:20:10.

numbers are down by 46%. The number of Japanese tourists has plummeted

:20:11.:20:14.

by nearly 50%. Of course, terrorism is the main factor explaining why

:20:15.:20:18.

the numbers are going down. Many would-be visitors are simply too

:20:19.:20:23.

scared to come. People in the tourist business say that terrorism

:20:24.:20:27.

is not the only issue, and it mustn't be allowed to mask other

:20:28.:20:33.

disincentives to coming, which Parisi and Andy French need to

:20:34.:20:38.

address. In hotels like this, customers bring other complaints

:20:39.:20:45.

about the city, about a more general level of insecurity. There are other

:20:46.:20:51.

reasons, more links to the social environment that is quite difficult.

:20:52.:20:57.

Linked to insecurity in Paris. Unfortunately, there are a lot of

:20:58.:21:00.

things that have happened in the last few weeks, which do not help

:21:01.:21:08.

the image of Paris. There was trouble linked to labour protests

:21:09.:21:11.

earlier in the summer. Floods, and for the Chinese and other Asians,

:21:12.:21:21.

reports of muggings and robbing is the mac targeting them. France

:21:22.:21:27.

remain the world's biggest tourist destination, but nobody wants to

:21:28.:21:31.

feel unsafe on holiday, and France undoubtedly feels less safe than it

:21:32.:21:37.

used to. She Schofield, BBC News, Paris. -- you Schofield. Donald

campaign, changes to international trade agreements will help to

realise his vision for the United States will stop how plausible are

:21:50.:21:56.

his proposals? We asked senior economic adviser about from's

What about Donald Trump? Are his economic plans protectionist?

:22:56.:23:01.

Well, he did speak out against Arlott of trade agreements. One he

mentioned was the North American Free Trade Agreement, which

encompasses Canada, the United States and Mexico. -- against a lot

:23:09.:23:17.

of trade agreements. He said it didn't -- if it didn't work in

:23:29.:23:31.

presidential nominee Hillary Clinton has spoken out against. If you

:23:32.:23:36.

compare the two of them in terms of the language they use around trade,

:23:37.:23:40.

she certainly strikes a somewhat more friendly tone compared to Mr

:23:41.:23:47.

Trump. What about these economic plans that have been laid out and

:23:48.:23:53.

issues like this? Our day popular with the American public? Well, the

:23:54.:23:59.

challenges and what Donald Trump is trying to do, is to appeal to a

:24:00.:24:04.

large mass of people. When speaking in Detroit, he spoke out against any

:24:05.:24:10.

trade policies because many blue-collar workers feel that they

:24:11.:24:13.

have been done a disservice as a result of these trade agreements.

:24:14.:24:19.

Then, when he speaks to other groups, he will sort of make

:24:20.:24:22.

comments that would work to them. A big part of that is, of course, also

:24:23.:24:28.

politics. Depending on whom you ask, there are some who believe that

:24:29.:24:32.

perhaps Hillary Clinton is in the best position to really lead the US

:24:33.:24:36.

economy, given her political experience, but others believe that

:24:37.:24:42.

time is now for a business leader and he could possibly in a better

:24:43.:24:48.

position. Just briefly, I think he believes he think he could get a

:24:49.:24:58.

better deal. Could he? There is a clause that allows for

:24:59.:25:01.

renegotiation. When I asked directly about whether they would walk

:25:02.:25:04.

directly away from the agreement if they didn't like what was made

:25:05.:25:08.

available to them, David Malpass walked away from that and said,

:25:09.:25:13.

there is a lot of wiggle room in terms of negotiation, perhaps that

:25:14.:25:17.

is where we should place our energy. Maybe a bit of walking back from

:25:18.:25:19.

that. Thank you very much. I have some

:25:20.:25:26.

pictures to show you from a festival of watermelons in Azerbaijan. One of

:25:27.:25:31.

the events is competitive watermelons mashing with your head.

:25:32.:25:32.

Take a look. My head hurts just looking at it!

:25:33.:26:01.

Stay with us. More to come in the next half-hour.
