:00:12. > :00:13.I'm Ros Atkins, this is Outside Source.
:00:14. > :00:21.It is an hour of international news from here in London.
:00:22. > :00:30.Apple has confirmed the rumours that its new iPhone 7
:00:31. > :00:46.Believe it or not, that has become a major topic of conversation! We will
:00:47. > :00:47.also be talking about how the markets in New York are responding
:00:48. > :00:51.to the announcement. There's been another bombing
:00:52. > :00:53.in Aleppo, on the same day Syria's main opposition group
:00:54. > :00:55.unveiled its most detailed plan Lyse Doucet will talk us
:00:56. > :00:59.through what's in it, Fabric in London is one
:01:00. > :01:03.of Europe's biggest nightclubs, but it's been ordered closed
:01:04. > :01:07.after the deaths of two clubbers. I'll play you Paul Adam's latest
:01:08. > :01:23.report about anti-immigration This time he focuses on a group many
:01:24. > :01:46.consider to be neo-Nazi. We will have reports from India,
:01:47. > :01:52.from the US, from the UK, across the hour, but we start in Brazil. The
:01:53. > :01:55.opening ceremony of the Paralympic Games is just moments away.
:01:56. > :01:57.It will take place at Rio's Maracana stadium, the same venue
:01:58. > :02:03.The number of venues was reduced and there were poor ticket sales -
:02:04. > :02:07.though a big push appears to have addressed that - and the entire
:02:08. > :02:12.Russian team was banned over the country's doping scandal.
:02:13. > :02:19.But as you'd expect, the organisers are staying positive.
:02:20. > :02:30.Here is one tweet here from the Paralympic movement.
:02:31. > :02:35.Certainly all of the preparations for the opening ceremony are done
:02:36. > :02:45.and dusted. Julia Khan are is live from Rio. How do the build-up to the
:02:46. > :02:50.Paralympics and the build-up to the Olympics compare? It is hard to
:02:51. > :02:55.compare, but there is lots of enthusiasm outside the Maracana
:02:56. > :02:59.today. There has been lots of concern about the low ticket sales
:03:00. > :03:04.at the beginning, they have now picked up and it seems as though the
:03:05. > :03:09.stadium will be packed with 50,000 people expected here to watch the
:03:10. > :03:14.opening ceremony. We have been hearing from people arriving, and
:03:15. > :03:19.there is lots of excitement, people saying it is very important for
:03:20. > :03:25.Brazil. Brazil is expected to come fifth in these Paralympics, at home,
:03:26. > :03:28.but people don't know all the athletes, it is important to
:03:29. > :03:33.establish the connection for the public to get closer to the sport,
:03:34. > :03:35.and many people arriving also have disabilities, the ceremony is
:03:36. > :03:41.expected of course to have some samba, some Brazilian music and
:03:42. > :03:45.culture, but the organisers have missed they are going to celebrate
:03:46. > :03:53.Arab export which will be at the centre of it, and over 4000 athletes
:03:54. > :03:57.will be here for the Paralympics inside the stadium taking part in
:03:58. > :04:00.the ceremony, which Allstar tin just a little over an hour. We are
:04:01. > :04:09.focused on the stadium now, that tell me about the city which we will
:04:10. > :04:15.be watching in the next few days. We have had four different hubs for the
:04:16. > :04:21.Olympic Games. The space has been a little reduced for the Paralympics,
:04:22. > :04:31.with one of the areas, the Deodoro, slashed from the plans for the
:04:32. > :04:34.Paralympic Games. It will be reduced in comparison to the Olympics, but
:04:35. > :04:40.we are going to see sport all over the place, the triathlon for the
:04:41. > :04:49.first time taking part in the Paralympic Games, an Copacabana
:04:50. > :04:52.Beach, part of the competitions in rowing and canoeing for the first
:04:53. > :04:59.time, so we will get that sense again of the city really taken over
:05:00. > :05:08.by sport for the 2016 Paralympics. OK, Julia, keep us posted. Let's go
:05:09. > :05:10.quite a long way north, because Apple has been holding one of its
:05:11. > :05:14.big launch events today. Our tech correspondent was there,
:05:15. > :05:26.and he picked out what for many Dave Lee tweeting, a first look at
:05:27. > :05:31.the iPhone 7. He tells us it will have a wide-angle lens, two cameras,
:05:32. > :05:43.telephoto lens. Let's bring in some areas are saying -- Samira Husein
:05:44. > :05:46.from New York. Diddy match most things we were expecting? Really
:05:47. > :05:54.what everyone is talking about is something that the iPhone 7 will not
:05:55. > :06:01.have, and that is a headphone jack. If you want to use your headphones
:06:02. > :06:04.and you want to use this new iPhone 7 you will either have to go
:06:05. > :06:09.Bluetooth and get wireless headphones, or you will have to use
:06:10. > :06:12.an adapter. There has been a lot of talk about the fact that Apple is
:06:13. > :06:19.basically doing away with it iPhone Jack. A big part of it is that it is
:06:20. > :06:25.really the first company to do away with something like that, and when
:06:26. > :06:33.it comes to iPhones and smartphones, Apple has been a leader at the very
:06:34. > :06:36.beginning for a lot of these innovations, so some analysts
:06:37. > :06:39.suggest they are ahead of the times, especially when you consider that
:06:40. > :06:43.the sales for wireless headphones and the US have been pretty high
:06:44. > :06:50.this year. But of course others suggest that perhaps Apple is
:06:51. > :07:00.alienating some of its more... Let's say older, more... Older
:07:01. > :07:05.enthusiasts. I'm trying to find a delicate way to say it. Sounded
:07:06. > :07:11.delicate enough to me! And they have a new piece of kit, they have
:07:12. > :07:16.lightning earphones and they say this is how they can justify the
:07:17. > :07:19.headphone jack going. You have to step back and examine what this
:07:20. > :07:26.means for the bigger pic of Apple's bottom line. The iPhone is their big
:07:27. > :07:33.moneymaker, and their sales have slumped of late. They have slumped
:07:34. > :07:35.some 16%, and you look at what is happening in China, the economic
:07:36. > :07:41.slowdown there having an impact in terms of sales, so is this going to
:07:42. > :07:47.be enough to get more people to switch either from android to the
:07:48. > :07:51.iPhone 7, or to get already loyal iPhone users to upgrade? That is a
:07:52. > :08:00.question I cannot answer, but Apple certainly hopes that this will be
:08:01. > :08:04.enough to do that. Samira, thank you. Let's turn to a story that has
:08:05. > :08:08.been playing out here in London. Syrian Opposition groups have been
:08:09. > :08:10.laying out a new plan They've done so in London,
:08:11. > :08:13.with heavyweight diplomatic The main points are these: Six
:08:14. > :08:24.months of negotiations between opposition and government
:08:25. > :08:26.representatives. Followed by the departure of
:08:27. > :08:31.President Assad and his supporters. I don't suppose the President's very
:08:32. > :08:34.keen on that part. The report ends with the promise
:08:35. > :08:44.that "This shall usher in a new era in Syria,
:08:45. > :08:46.one with freedom, security, It might, but unfortunately
:08:47. > :09:00.it probably won't. BBC Arabic speaker for a lot of
:09:01. > :09:07.people who've been following this matters.
:09:08. > :09:14.Lyse Doucet has been down at the Foreign Office all day covering this
:09:15. > :09:20.story, and I put it to her that to a lot of people, this new plan looks
:09:21. > :09:25.like nothing more than a fantasy. A fantasy perhaps, but it is the kind
:09:26. > :09:30.of political and security blueprint that Syria needs for a much, much
:09:31. > :09:37.better political future than it is facing now. It is an ideal plan, but
:09:38. > :09:42.it is a plan intended to send a message to President Assad and his
:09:43. > :09:47.allies, Russia and Iran, that Syria can have a stable transition and can
:09:48. > :09:50.avoid the kind of collapse of state institutions that have so shattered
:09:51. > :09:56.neighbouring states like Iraq and Libya. So they want to give the lie
:09:57. > :10:01.to the critics who say that President Assad can't go because
:10:02. > :10:04.there is no alternative. There is an alternative, but no chance of it
:10:05. > :10:09.being on the table any sign soon. And are there any indications from
:10:10. > :10:15.your sources that the Syrian government will entertain any form
:10:16. > :10:21.of this plan? They are absolutely categorical that they will not agree
:10:22. > :10:25.to any plan when President Assad steps down. They assist again today
:10:26. > :10:28.that he came to power through elections, no matter what questions
:10:29. > :10:32.you raise about these elections, and he will only be removed through
:10:33. > :10:37.elections, and they believe he would win elections in Syria. The hope
:10:38. > :10:41.would be it is Russia and Iran who would pressure President Assad to
:10:42. > :10:46.go, but even that is not clear. I am just going to pull up on the screen
:10:47. > :11:00.a quote that has come in today. This is from the President of Turkey.
:11:01. > :11:05.He has also suggested the Americans have in principle signed up to this
:11:06. > :11:17.idea. What did you make of that statement? There has been for some
:11:18. > :11:24.time what you call the race for Raqqa. They have the Syrian forces
:11:25. > :11:27.advancing towards Raqqa from the south, the Americans working with
:11:28. > :11:31.the Kurds, and now that Turkey has for the first time in recent weeks
:11:32. > :11:36.crossed the border, used its tanks and troops to retake territory that
:11:37. > :11:41.was taken by so-called Islamic State, it must now be saying to
:11:42. > :11:45.President Obama, you can have all the forces you need, I am on your
:11:46. > :11:48.side, I will join your efforts to expel the last of the so-called
:11:49. > :11:53.Islamic State from the territory of Syria. We know this is one of
:11:54. > :11:59.President Obama's big goals, before he leaves the White House, he wants
:12:00. > :12:04.Islamic State gone from Syria and Iraq, said he would accept help from
:12:05. > :12:08.anywhere it comes, it seems. And I want to play you this report in a
:12:09. > :12:11.few minutes, an intriguing idea in India where couples try to recoup
:12:12. > :12:13.some of the cost of their wedding by allowing tourist to attend for a
:12:14. > :12:24.fee. Here in the UK, the Prime Minister
:12:25. > :12:34.has rejected accusations that the Government Ozma Brexit strategy is
:12:35. > :12:38.unclear. In the first session of Prime Minister's Questions the
:12:39. > :12:44.summer break, Theresa May had this to say: I know people are keen to
:12:45. > :12:48.see rapid progress and to understand what post-Brexit Britain will look
:12:49. > :12:52.like. We are getting on with that vital work of, but we must also
:12:53. > :12:56.think through the issues in a sober and considered way, and this is
:12:57. > :12:59.about getting the kind of deal that is ambitious and bowled for Britain.
:13:00. > :13:03.It is not about the Norway model or the Swiss model or any other
:13:04. > :13:08.country's model, it is about developing our own British model. So
:13:09. > :13:12.we will not take decisions until we are ready. We will not reveal our
:13:13. > :13:16.hand prematurely, and we will not provide a running commentary on
:13:17. > :13:28.every twist and turn of the negotiations.
:13:29. > :13:35.This is Outside Source. Our lead story is that in Brazil, the opening

:18:42. > :18:52.available online. Here is an interesting business
:18:53. > :18:56.idea. We will come to that China story in a minute. A company in
:18:57. > :18:57.India is helping newlyweds recoup their wedding costs by charging
:18:58. > :19:19.tourists to attend. He is Devey meet Ruby and Lee. They are taking
:19:20. > :19:24.part in this wedding, but they are not related to or even friends with
:19:25. > :19:30.the bride and groom. In fact, they have paid to be here. I don't know
:19:31. > :19:35.if words describe what we just Spearing Stokes a traditional Indian
:19:36. > :19:42.wedding can run file to a week. These wedding torus of chosen day
:19:43. > :19:44.one, music dance and henna. It is so wonderful to be brought into a
:19:45. > :19:52.family and see this different cultural experience. And their hosts
:19:53. > :19:54.on one of the first couples to use a new start-up that helps people
:19:55. > :20:00.around the world to invite total trust strangers to their wedding,
:20:01. > :20:06.for a price. She said, let's do this, it looks like a good idea.
:20:07. > :20:10.People said, they could be some crazy person, how can you trust
:20:11. > :20:14.them? But we had to trust them. On the second day, more tourists. James
:20:15. > :20:23.from Ireland and Luke from New Zealand. They have made about $400
:20:24. > :20:27.from the ticket sales, but that doesn't go far when you are paying
:20:28. > :20:31.for things like food and transport. Giving them the experience is more
:20:32. > :20:37.exciting, even my family were excited to have a foreign person in
:20:38. > :20:44.our wedding. I feel a little bit bad now that we arrived with no flowers.
:20:45. > :20:45.We gave them a smile. But even do that, they will have to queue along
:20:46. > :20:57.with a thousand others. Food is a huge part of an Indian
:20:58. > :21:05.wedding, and so is dressing up for the occasion.
:21:06. > :21:13.But while they have enjoyed themselves, with the travellers like
:21:14. > :21:18.the idea of people they didn't know coming to their wedding? I'm not
:21:19. > :21:23.sure it would be the same at a wedding in New Zealand, my family
:21:24. > :21:26.are pretty small. So it is an idea that is clearly not for everyone,
:21:27. > :21:29.but if the business takes off, weddings may not just be a big
:21:30. > :21:38.social occasion, but for some, a way to earn money, too.
:21:39. > :21:39.Now let's put up a story that came up briefly on the screen a couple of
:21:40. > :21:43.minutes ago,. The inflight magazine on Air China
:21:44. > :21:46.is handing out some interesting I take no credit for spotting this
:21:47. > :22:00.story. We came to the story
:22:01. > :22:02.via Haze Fan at CNBC - highlighting that the magazine
:22:03. > :22:04.advises that "precautions are needed" when entering areas
:22:05. > :22:06.of London mainly populated by Indians, Pakistanis
:22:07. > :22:15.and black people. That affects a reasonable amount of
:22:16. > :22:18.the city. They advise tourists not to go out at night, and females
:22:19. > :22:22.always to be accompanied. Virendra Sharma is is
:22:23. > :22:27.a Labour MP in West London. We're still waiting for a response
:22:28. > :22:43.from Air China. The number of trips from China
:22:44. > :22:46.to the UK rose by 46% last If you're one of those coming
:22:47. > :23:01.to visit, I wouldn't take any Let's return to one of the main
:23:02. > :23:07.stories at the moment, Apple's announcement of its new iPhone. It
:23:08. > :23:10.hasn't got a headphone port, and lots of people are getting worked up
:23:11. > :23:14.about that. It does have new wireless earphones, if you want to
:23:15. > :23:22.buy them, changes to the way that Apple pay works. David Lee is in
:23:23. > :23:28.Cupertino. The iPhone has overshadowed everything else, hasn't
:23:29. > :23:32.it? It has, a big move to remove the headphone jack. We thought they were
:23:33. > :23:36.going to do it, some of the rumours we saw before the event suggested
:23:37. > :23:42.that was what they would do. And yes, they are calling it a bold new
:23:43. > :23:45.leap into wireless audio. Others are slightly worried that they will have
:23:46. > :23:50.to either replace their headphones and have new adapters or use the
:23:51. > :23:56.ugly adapter they have said you can use if you have traditional
:23:57. > :23:59.headphones with a normal socket. So this could be controversial, but
:24:00. > :24:06.Apple in the past has removed ports from other devices like the MacBook
:24:07. > :24:09.and always been proven right, so I think they will be confident they
:24:10. > :24:16.have got it right this time. It says special event bind you, how special
:24:17. > :24:21.are these things? I can tell you it is very busy. There are hundreds of
:24:22. > :24:26.journalists in the building behind me, and we have just managed to
:24:27. > :24:29.sneak out and do this for you guys. A lot of excitement, although
:24:30. > :24:33.perhaps not as much excitement around Apple launches as they would
:24:34. > :24:39.have been in the past. People are beyond the days of expecting this
:24:40. > :24:46.big new idea and surprise, the kind of One More Thing that Steve Jobs
:24:47. > :24:49.made famous. Still a lot of excitement, still a very mysterious
:24:50. > :24:54.company, nobody knows what they will do next, but perhaps not the
:24:55. > :24:57.mystique they once had. Aside from the iPhone, what else have they been
:24:58. > :25:04.telling us about? Anything else worthy of note? They are bringing
:25:05. > :25:09.out an updated version of the Apple Watch as well, they are the second
:25:10. > :25:13.highest watch company in the world after Rolex, not bad considering
:25:14. > :25:16.that only launched it last year. The new one is much more sporty, and
:25:17. > :25:20.they seem to be drifting away from it being a fashion product,
