Hello, I'm Ros Atkins, this is Outside Source.

Brexit was one of the big issues at the G20 summit in China.

The British Prime Minister made two statements that are making news -

first that several countries are already interested in striking

new trade deals with the UK - and that the UK will not

have an Australia style points-based immigration system.

We've Laura Kuennsburg's latest report from the G20.

Truck drivers are protesting near Calais today -

they want the migrant camp known as the jungle closed.

Good news from European Space Agency.

It's found the Philae lander - which landed on a comet in 2014

but hasn't been heard from for since not long after that.

And after a far-right party in Germany beat Angela Merkel's

party to third place in important regional election.

Paul Adams has been investigating its popularity.

It's been Theresa May's first international summit

as Prime Minister - and inevitably Brexit

This is the front of the BBC News app.

On immigration, Theresa May was explicit - there will be no

Bear in mind that was one of the main proposals by pro

The G20 is a group of the 20 countries

The summit took place in the city of Hangzhou.

BBC's Political Editor Laura Kuennsburg was there.

Red carpets get rolled up and put away.

And at the end of the Prime Minister's first big adventure

abroad, there are questions that will follow her home.

But despite wide concerns, there are some reasons

Promises from a handful of countries who want to do

This has been my first G20 summit and the first summit of the world's

leading economies since the United Kingdom decided

What I've found pleasing and very useful in the discussions I've had

is their willingness to talk to us about opening up trade arrangements

between the United Kingdom and a number of other countries.

Fewer answers, though, on controlling EU immigration.

It won't be with the system sold to the public during the referendum.

What the British people voted for on the 23rd of June was to bring

some control into the movement of people from

A points-based system does not give you that control.

More than two months after the referendum,

can you give our audience any idea of what you might actually propose?

And, given that you were Home Secretary when immigration

climbed to record levels, why should people trust you to be

What the British people want to see is an element of control.

There are various ways in which you can do that.

But of course the work we are doing at the moment across government

is about looking at the sort of relationship that we want to

Part of that is about the sort of trade arrangements,

part of it is about the sort of issues we want to deal

So we will be coming forward in due course

But this summit was about more than Brexit.

This has not been an easy set of meetings for the Prime Minister.

Alongside the grips and grins of the formal handshake there's been

But Theresa May has shown she wants to be a leader who does things

in her own time and in her own way, not bound by the promises

of the referendum or of her predecessor in Number 10.

The Prime Minister came here to make an impression and departs having

done that, but leaves only a few more clues on how Britain and the EU

Laura Kuenssberg, BBC News, Hangzhou.

Two key issues. Immigration and trade.

Japan has issued a warning on Brexit.

It's released a 15 page document - it says Japanese firms may

move their European head offices out of the UK because of Brexit.

That sparked a broad ranging discussion.

Clearly the UK government would refute that -

but there's certainly pressure for more detail

And it's made more complicated by the fact that Theresa May didn't

She wasn't giving us lots of detail before the vote of her ideas of what

Brexit would be. In some ways, Theresa May is in a

horrible position because on the one hand, she has got to balance those

17 million British voters who said, we want out of the EU against all

the businesses that will be knocking on the doors of Downing Street, the

International corporations, all of Britain's allies, saying, are you

nuts? Don't leave the single market, it will terribly damaged the British

economy at the world economy. There she is, someone who wasn't in favour

of leaving the EU, but she is the one holding the baby, as it were.

Let's talk about immigration. It was one of the big issues driving that a

vote to leave the EU. How is this statement from her today that there

will be no point system, how has not gone down in Westminster? I make a

couple of points. Most people who are in favour of Brexit in her own

party, they are prepared to cut her slack. They think, by and large, her

and her government have made the right kind of noises, saying, we're

not sure of the details, but we need to control immigration. That was the

message of those Brexit voters. On the other hand, there are some

including the leader of the Ukip party, formally, Nigel Farage,

saying he would watch him closely. Not happy that a points system might

not be used. She is the sort of on borrowed time in some ways with the

Brexiteer is. They are prepared to cut her slack, but there would be

real trouble for the government if there is not some form of control on

immigration. From China, our next story is France.

It's caused by lorry and tractor drivers who want

They say drivers are being attacked by migrants who are trying to stow

away inside trucks which are heading to the UK.

You can see Calais marked on the North-West coast.

This is the motorway they're blocking.

It wraps right around Calais - block it, and you bring just

Around 7,000 people live there - most are from the Middle East,

Afghanistan and Africa, and most want to get to the UK.

Calais's population by the way is just over 70,000 - so the camp

Our correspondent, Lucy Williamson, has more.

Drive too slowly after midnight here, and you're an open target.

Today, it was tractor pace on Calais's most

notorious stretch of road, a go-slow protest by lorry

drivers waging a nightly battle with migrant gangs.

Joining them, several hundred residents living and working

This is a coalition of grievances against the migrants.

There are lorry drivers here, local farmers, business

And despite the recent security measures and government assurances,

they say the migrants are waging a guerrilla war,

They protest because it's getting worse and worse.

Every night, or nearly every night on the motorway,

some trucks are attacked, there are some traffic jams etc

because of some smugglers who have got their business in Calais,

and they want to make business and get migrants into a truck.

One attack filmed by the BBC last month shows the road blocked by logs

and people smugglers threatening drivers as they direct

Local wine merchant Jerome says British customers have shrunk

to a trickle, because many are now too scared to stop in Calais.

We have to go step-by-step, and the first step is to solve

the problem in Calais, to distribute all the migrants maybe

all over France or all over Europe, maybe England takes a part,

and being more strict in the fact that they can't stay in Calais.

France's interior minister has said the Jungle camp will be clear,

but Calais's migrants have been dispersed before,

And however the obstacles change, the lure of crossing

My current crisis is having summary different consequences. Those we are

seeing in Calais. In a few minutes we'll

report from Germany. Angela Merkel's party came third

in a regional election She was beat by a far-right

anti-immigration party. The British Medical Association has

called off next week's junior doctor strike -

after talks with the NHS. The BMA says strikes

planned for October, November and December will still go

ahead - unless the government calls off its plans to impose a contract

that has been rejected Our health correspondent Hugh Pym

sent this update a short time ago. That is very similar, for, five

weeks like it was in April third to what happened last time. Hospital

managements will breathe a sigh of relief. That gives them an amount of

time to plan for this. Certainly, it raises a few questions about the

BMA's decision to announce these strikes with only 12 days of notice.

That caused a lot of consternation within the NHS and they had to of

the table, making the whole thing looked confused. They are adamant

that the case remains the same and they will go ahead with five days of

strikes starting on the 5th of October and five days in November

and December, as well. This is Outside Source live

from the BBC newsroom. At the G20 summit in China,

Theresa May says several countries are interested in trade deals

with the UK, but she rules out an Australian style

immigration system. Some of the main stories from BBC

World Service. Two suicide attacks have hit

the entrance to the Afghan In the last hour, reports of another

large explosion in the city. In Tel Aviv, at least two people

have been killed and a number of others are feared missing

after a building collapsed. It's believed that a crane

fell on the car park - This is something

we rarely get to see. It's a southern right whale

and her calf - which is white. That is very rare -

about 5% of these whales are born white but turn black

in their first year. Researchers filmed it using a drone

- and you'll find this in the BBC's We don't always cover

Germany's regional elections. But Angela Merkel's just taken a big

political hit in her home state. It's Mecklenburg-West Pomerania -

and Mrs Merkel's Christian But in second was the

far-right AfD party. And it is vehemently opposed

to Angela Merkel's policy of admitting over a million

refugees into Germany. Christian Democratic Union of

Germany stands for alternative for Germany. -- AfD stands for

alternative for Germany. TRANSLATION: I believe

that the decisions we have made in recent months are the correct

ones but we have a lot to do to win The topic of integration will play

a big role and the question of how to return refugees

who are not entitled to stay. On the one hand we have to live our

humanitarian responsibilities On the other hand we have to make

clear that those people who are not entitled to stay have

to leave the country. The AfD picked up 21% of votes

overall - Rostock is one city And Paul Adams has been speaking

to some its members there. The right-wing has been making

spectacular gains here in Germany in the last couple of years. I've come

to meet members of the AfD. They are leading this right-wing charge and

some people say they are a bunch of racists. I want to find out.

The AfD, Alternative for Germany, has only existed for three years. It

has attracted a lot of support for its anti-migrant, antiestablishment

Eurosceptic views. It plays on real fears about refugees and staunchly

defends Germany as a Christian state. This town has become one of

its strongholds. The problem is that is not our culture.

So if an area with a significant Muslim population said it was

disturbed by the sound of the bells humming from church on a Sunday,

would they have a point? Grandmother is the local candidate.

She is hoping for a big win and she's been having a busy morning.

From BBC News in England. I would like to talk to you about your

conversation. Some people say that this party and

the people who support it, like you, are racist. What do you feel when

you hear people say that? There is more information on the AfD

and the far right in Germany via the BBC online. We will return to the

issue of Brexit. One immediate impact of that choice to leave the

EU was the value of the pound fell. Last week, we saw how well that

worked for exporters. It seems it is also working well for foreign

property investors, particularly those looking at London. Mark Jordan

has investigated. Half the properties in prime central

London are already bought by foreigners. But this is Colindale,

zone for, and development aimed at first-time buyers. There is a new

cashrich customer on the block. As to date, we have 80% sold out. These

Hong Kongers eye up new investment. The dollar against the pound buys

them 15% more here than one year ago. Colindale is more profitable

now than Kensington. There are pockets of London that are still

heavily under soul. There is still value to be had. Another estate

agent reports a 1000% opposed Brexit surge in interest in foreign buyers.

Brexit is not the end of the world. This country has a secure and stable

system. Yes, it attracts the foreign investor to come here, like me. And

15% off! It is like a sail! What definitely, it is good. It is not on

sale to the English. They sit on their hands. I will continue to

invest in flats and rent out. Not content with a 15% currency gain,

foreign investors also avoid higher stamp duty in second-hand tax by

switching to these cheaper outer zones. They are coming in and buying

three or four small apartments in order not to have the stamp duty.

Let me explain. If an investor buys one tiny little flat in May Mayfair

for 1.5 million, the tax bill is ?138,000. But if instead he buys six

flat at a quarter of a million each somewhere cheaper in London, his

total tax is only ?60,000. That is a saving of ?78,000. He has more than

halved his tax bill. Taxation is comparatively simple and much lower

than other parts of the world. The public and London's mayor are

critical of foreign investors snapping up these homes, but

developers warn they are keeping the market afloat amid Brexit

uncertainty. If that sinks, so does the affordable housing. In the UK

and London in particular, they play a very vital role in underpinning

every development. A great hope of Brexit wouldn't that it would make

property more affordable. It has, but to foreigners.

The next report is from Berlin. The BBC's technology correspondent has

been there. This is about a company that produces sticky sensors that

you put all of your house and each sensor can perform a different task.

The company calls them peanuts. We hear a lot about the Internet of

things, but quite often it doesn't seem to mean anything to consumers.

This device is supposed to change that. You either founder of this

company. Explain what the peanuts does. Peanuts are very simple,

affordable and useful senses. Peanuts does one thing. This one

measures temperature it is a quiet as the monitor. You put it anywhere

your home or your office or your fridge or when you go camping. It

will send the data to your application. It will show the

temperature, current temperature and all the trends. Nobody cares or

understands about the Internet of things, but you hope they will

understand the peanuts. We think no one cares about the peanuts and the

Internet of things, but people want to take their pills on time, measure

the temperature or to have a good night's sleep. This is what peanuts

do. You buy something to solve a problem you have in your life.

There will be some people that have a specific issue and you can see how

this type of technology could work for them, but if you are talking

about the mass market, they don't buy technology for technology's

sake. They want items or solutions to make their life better or cheaper

and they will come in a bigger package where the technology is

hidden away from them. Don't know if you fancy that. From

high-tech to even more high-tech. We have exciting news from the European

-based agency. It has found the lander which landed on a comet in

2014. Quite quickly, the battery went down and that was the last we

heard of it until now. This is an image released today, taken by the

spacecraft which is orbiting the comet on which this land assets. You

can see it well, but it is just there. The Rosetta, the name of the

spacecraft which has had its own Twitter feed for a while, it managed

to get together a cartoon today to show how it imagined its little

sister doing. Cuddled up on the servers of the comet. You imagine it

is a bit more inhospitable than that. I have been speaking to

Jonathan Amos about what it has been doing. It has been lying in a ditch!

Amazing, really. We last saw the land as it was heading down to the

comet back in November 20 14. The Rosetta spacecraft dropped the probe

onto the comet. It took some pictures of it as it headed down and

then we thought it's landed, it did, but it bounced before it came to a

rest. It came to a rest in a dark ditch. That much we knew back in

2014 because we could see that the solar panels on the probe were not

being charged. That meant the sun was falling as solar panels. There

was a race to get the pictures and data off before the battery went

flat. The battery went flat and we have not known where it was. We have

only had some pictures down in the last 24 hours that have confirmed

its position. It is exciting to see, but in practical terms, does this

make any difference? No, it will help scientists but some of the data

it sends back in those 60 hours that it worked in better context. To be

honest, this is about emotional closure! If we can talk about

something as inanimate as a robot. I think people got caught up in the

story of this plucky little robot on the surface of a comet. They didn't

know where it had ended up. It ended up in this dark ditch and they

needed closure. We all did. We have it now with these pictures that show

which very clearly. There is no doubt that this is the lander on the

surface of Comet 67p. I am looking at tweets from the Rosetta

spacecraft. It says, my mission is ending later this month and it is

using a hashtag, landing. What is planned for the spacecraft? They

have a choice, the European Space Agency. The comet it is circling is

heading out of the solar system and therefore the amount of sunlight

falling on the Rosetta panels is falling. They would have to put it

in hibernation for when it comes back round to the sun. They don't

think it will be working them. They will take the grand chance of trying

to land on the comet itself to take Rosetta down. It will be a crash

landing, it. Working as soon as it touches the service. Solar panels

will break off and other bits will break off. It will allow them to get

some close data and it will bring a marvellous end to this extraordinary

mission. I will be back in a couple of
