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 | :13:19. | :13:20. | |
economic said that. The ups and major downs | :13:21. | :13:34. | |
of the gender wage gap. and graduates there is still | :13:35. | :13:35. | |
a significant pay penalty. In this London park | :13:36. | :13:37. | |
opinions were clear. The ups and major downs | :13:38. | :13:45. | |
of the gender wage gap. Yes, it has been reducing over all, | :13:46. | :13:47. | |
but for mothers and graduates there is still | :13:48. | :13:49. | |
a significant pay penalty. In this London park | :13:50. | :13:52. | |
opinions were clear. Having children presented major | :13:53. | :13:53. | |
career challenges, ones that men Women struggle with | :13:54. | :13:55. | |
the issue of having to be perfect mothers at home and then | :13:56. | :13:59. | |
having to be perfect in their I have taken a pay cut | :14:00. | :14:02. | |
because I changed my career and I So, I don't think | :14:03. | :14:06. | |
that's a gender issue. The gender wage gap | :14:07. | :14:09. | |
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. | |
gap grows to 33% by the time the first child | :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 | :14:41. | :14:46. | |
there is already a Some people argue | :14:47. | :14:48. | |
at least part of the Mothers making the decision to leave | :14:49. | :14:54. | |
work to look after their children. But although that may | :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 | :15:03. | :15:07. | |
working is not valued as highly by many businesses as | :15:08. | :15:10. | |
traditional 9-5 working is it really a choice that when women return | :15:11. | :15:15. | |

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 | :16:35. | :16:38. | |
area in Northumberland last night. Mark Benton is at the base. The red | :16:39. | :16:44. | |
flag flying behind me at the entrance to Otterburn military camp | :16:45. | :16:50. | |
is an indication that live firing is a possibility to stop a live firing | :16:51. | :16:55. | |
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 | :17:16. | :17:20. | |
live firing range in the country, and it covers a vast area of the | :17:21. | :17:21. | |
Northumberland countryside. This is Outside Source, live from | :17:22. | :17:38. | |
the BBC newsroom. Our lead story: Russia will not be allowed to appear | :17:39. | :17:45. | |

ban was rejected. The game -- Paralympic games in Rio. | :17:54. | :18:05. | |

alleges. She collapsed after finishing 89th in Rio. Officials say | :18:13. | :18:19. | |
that he/she and her coach refused refreshments. BBC Hindi has more on | :18:20. | :18:25. | |
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 | :19:08. | :19:12. | |
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 | :21:38. | :21:41. | |
Trump says he wants to make America great again. According to his | :21:42. | :21:45. | |
campaign, changes to international trade agreements will help to | :21:46. | :21:49. | |
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 | :21:57. | :22:02. | |
protectionist platform. Protectionism is not what he is | :22:03. | :22:06. | |
describing. He is describing a trade policy that creates jobs in the US, | :22:07. | :22:12. | |
rather than the emperors is on creating jobs abroad. So, in order | :22:13. | :22:18. | |
to do... And that is where the blue-collar worker, meaning people | :22:19. | :22:26. | |
who work hard every day, working with machinery, working with skills | :22:27. | :22:30. | |
that create goads, those workers have not done well in the trade | :22:31. | :22:39. | |
environment that we've created. That was the senior economic adviser to | :22:40. | :22:44. | |
the Trump campaign. Let's speak to Samir Hussein, who is live in New | :22:45. | :22:51. | |
York. Good to have you with us. Also interesting to hear those views. | :22:52. | :22:55. | |
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 | :23:02. | :23:06. | |
mentioned was the North American Free Trade Agreement, which | :23:07. | :23:08. | |
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 | :23:18. | :23:22. | |
America's favour, he would want to walk away. He also spoke out against | :23:23. | :23:28. | |
the transpacific partnership, a trade agreement that the Democratic | :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. | :26:02. | :26:03. |
