I'm Ros Atkins, this is Outside Source. | :00:12. | :00:13. | |
It is an hour of international news from here in London. | :00:14. | :00:21. | |
Apple has confirmed the rumours that its new iPhone 7 | :00:22. | :00:30. | |
Believe it or not, that has become a major topic of conversation! We will | :00:31. | :00:46. | |
also be talking about how the markets in New York are responding | :00:47. | :00:47. | |
to the announcement. There's been another bombing | :00:48. | :00:51. | |
in Aleppo, on the same day Syria's main opposition group | :00:52. | :00:53. | |
unveiled its most detailed plan Lyse Doucet will talk us | :00:54. | :00:55. | |
through what's in it, Fabric in London is one | :00:56. | :00:59. | |
of Europe's biggest nightclubs, but it's been ordered closed | :01:00. | :01:03. | |
after the deaths of two clubbers. I'll play you Paul Adam's latest | :01:04. | :01:07. | |
report about anti-immigration This time he focuses on a group many | :01:08. | :01:23. | |
consider to be neo-Nazi. We will have reports from India, | :01:24. | :01:46. | |
from the US, from the UK, across the hour, but we start in Brazil. The | :01:47. | :01:52. | |
opening ceremony of the Paralympic Games is just moments away. | :01:53. | :01:55. | |
It will take place at Rio's Maracana stadium, the same venue | :01:56. | :01:57. | |
The number of venues was reduced and there were poor ticket sales - | :01:58. | :02:03. | |
though a big push appears to have addressed that - and the entire | :02:04. | :02:07. | |
Russian team was banned over the country's doping scandal. | :02:08. | :02:12. | |
But as you'd expect, the organisers are staying positive. | :02:13. | :02:19. | |
Here is one tweet here from the Paralympic movement. | :02:20. | :02:30. | |
Certainly all of the preparations for the opening ceremony are done | :02:31. | :02:35. | |
and dusted. Julia Khan are is live from Rio. How do the build-up to the | :02:36. | :02:45. | |
Paralympics and the build-up to the Olympics compare? It is hard to | :02:46. | :02:50. | |
compare, but there is lots of enthusiasm outside the Maracana | :02:51. | :02:55. | |
today. There has been lots of concern about the low ticket sales | :02:56. | :02:59. | |
at the beginning, they have now picked up and it seems as though the | :03:00. | :03:04. | |
stadium will be packed with 50,000 people expected here to watch the | :03:05. | :03:09. | |
opening ceremony. We have been hearing from people arriving, and | :03:10. | :03:14. | |
there is lots of excitement, people saying it is very important for | :03:15. | :03:19. | |
Brazil. Brazil is expected to come fifth in these Paralympics, at home, | :03:20. | :03:25. | |
but people don't know all the athletes, it is important to | :03:26. | :03:28. | |
establish the connection for the public to get closer to the sport, | :03:29. | :03:33. | |
and many people arriving also have disabilities, the ceremony is | :03:34. | :03:35. | |
expected of course to have some samba, some Brazilian music and | :03:36. | :03:41. | |
culture, but the organisers have missed they are going to celebrate | :03:42. | :03:45. | |
Arab export which will be at the centre of it, and over 4000 athletes | :03:46. | :03:53. | |
will be here for the Paralympics inside the stadium taking part in | :03:54. | :03:57. | |
the ceremony, which Allstar tin just a little over an hour. We are | :03:58. | :04:00. | |
focused on the stadium now, that tell me about the city which we will | :04:01. | :04:09. | |
be watching in the next few days. We have had four different hubs for the | :04:10. | :04:15. | |
Olympic Games. The space has been a little reduced for the Paralympics, | :04:16. | :04:21. | |
with one of the areas, the Deodoro, slashed from the plans for the | :04:22. | :04:31. | |
Paralympic Games. It will be reduced in comparison to the Olympics, but | :04:32. | :04:34. | |
we are going to see sport all over the place, the triathlon for the | :04:35. | :04:40. | |
first time taking part in the Paralympic Games, an Copacabana | :04:41. | :04:49. | |
Beach, part of the competitions in rowing and canoeing for the first | :04:50. | :04:52. | |
time, so we will get that sense again of the city really taken over | :04:53. | :04:59. | |
by sport for the 2016 Paralympics. OK, Julia, keep us posted. Let's go | :05:00. | :05:08. | |
quite a long way north, because Apple has been holding one of its | :05:09. | :05:10. | |
big launch events today. Our tech correspondent was there, | :05:11. | :05:14. | |
and he picked out what for many Dave Lee tweeting, a first look at | :05:15. | :05:26. | |
the iPhone 7. He tells us it will have a wide-angle lens, two cameras, | :05:27. | :05:31. | |
telephoto lens. Let's bring in some areas are saying -- Samira Husein | :05:32. | :05:43. | |
from New York. Diddy match most things we were expecting? Really | :05:44. | :05:46. | |
what everyone is talking about is something that the iPhone 7 will not | :05:47. | :05:54. | |
have, and that is a headphone jack. If you want to use your headphones | :05:55. | :06:01. | |
and you want to use this new iPhone 7 you will either have to go | :06:02. | :06:04. | |
Bluetooth and get wireless headphones, or you will have to use | :06:05. | :06:09. | |
an adapter. There has been a lot of talk about the fact that Apple is | :06:10. | :06:12. | |
basically doing away with it iPhone Jack. A big part of it is that it is | :06:13. | :06:19. | |
really the first company to do away with something like that, and when | :06:20. | :06:25. | |
it comes to iPhones and smartphones, Apple has been a leader at the very | :06:26. | :06:33. | |
beginning for a lot of these innovations, so some analysts | :06:34. | :06:36. | |
suggest they are ahead of the times, especially when you consider that | :06:37. | :06:39. | |
the sales for wireless headphones and the US have been pretty high | :06:40. | :06:43. | |
this year. But of course others suggest that perhaps Apple is | :06:44. | :06:50. | |
alienating some of its more... Let's say older, more... Older | :06:51. | :07:00. | |
enthusiasts. I'm trying to find a delicate way to say it. Sounded | :07:01. | :07:05. | |
delicate enough to me! And they have a new piece of kit, they have | :07:06. | :07:11. | |
lightning earphones and they say this is how they can justify the | :07:12. | :07:16. | |
headphone jack going. You have to step back and examine what this | :07:17. | :07:19. | |
means for the bigger pic of Apple's bottom line. The iPhone is their big | :07:20. | :07:26. | |
moneymaker, and their sales have slumped of late. They have slumped | :07:27. | :07:33. | |
some 16%, and you look at what is happening in China, the economic | :07:34. | :07:35. | |
slowdown there having an impact in terms of sales, so is this going to | :07:36. | :07:41. | |
be enough to get more people to switch either from android to the | :07:42. | :07:47. | |
iPhone 7, or to get already loyal iPhone users to upgrade? That is a | :07:48. | :07:51. | |
question I cannot answer, but Apple certainly hopes that this will be | :07:52. | :08:00. | |
enough to do that. Samira, thank you. Let's turn to a story that has | :08:01. | :08:04. | |
been playing out here in London. Syrian Opposition groups have been | :08:05. | :08:08. | |
laying out a new plan They've done so in London, | :08:09. | :08:10. | |
with heavyweight diplomatic The main points are these: Six | :08:11. | :08:13. | |
months of negotiations between opposition and government | :08:14. | :08:24. | |
representatives. Followed by the departure of | :08:25. | :08:26. | |
President Assad and his supporters. I don't suppose the President's very | :08:27. | :08:31. | |
keen on that part. The report ends with the promise | :08:32. | :08:34. | |
that "This shall usher in a new era in Syria, | :08:35. | :08:44. | |
one with freedom, security, It might, but unfortunately | :08:45. | :08:46. | |
it probably won't. BBC Arabic speaker for a lot of | :08:47. | :09:00. | |
people who've been following this matters. | :09:01. | :09:07. | |
Lyse Doucet has been down at the Foreign Office all day covering this | :09:08. | :09:14. | |
story, and I put it to her that to a lot of people, this new plan looks | :09:15. | :09:20. | |
like nothing more than a fantasy. A fantasy perhaps, but it is the kind | :09:21. | :09:25. | |
of political and security blueprint that Syria needs for a much, much | :09:26. | :09:30. | |
better political future than it is facing now. It is an ideal plan, but | :09:31. | :09:37. | |
it is a plan intended to send a message to President Assad and his | :09:38. | :09:42. | |
allies, Russia and Iran, that Syria can have a stable transition and can | :09:43. | :09:47. | |
avoid the kind of collapse of state institutions that have so shattered | :09:48. | :09:50. | |
neighbouring states like Iraq and Libya. So they want to give the lie | :09:51. | :09:56. | |
to the critics who say that President Assad can't go because | :09:57. | :10:01. | |
there is no alternative. There is an alternative, but no chance of it | :10:02. | :10:04. | |
being on the table any sign soon. And are there any indications from | :10:05. | :10:09. | |
your sources that the Syrian government will entertain any form | :10:10. | :10:15. | |
of this plan? They are absolutely categorical that they will not agree | :10:16. | :10:21. | |
to any plan when President Assad steps down. They assist again today | :10:22. | :10:25. | |
that he came to power through elections, no matter what questions | :10:26. | :10:28. | |
you raise about these elections, and he will only be removed through | :10:29. | :10:32. | |
elections, and they believe he would win elections in Syria. The hope | :10:33. | :10:37. | |
would be it is Russia and Iran who would pressure President Assad to | :10:38. | :10:41. | |
go, but even that is not clear. I am just going to pull up on the screen | :10:42. | :10:46. | |
a quote that has come in today. This is from the President of Turkey. | :10:47. | :11:00. | |
He has also suggested the Americans have in principle signed up to this | :11:01. | :11:05. | |
idea. What did you make of that statement? There has been for some | :11:06. | :11:17. | |
time what you call the race for Raqqa. They have the Syrian forces | :11:18. | :11:24. | |
advancing towards Raqqa from the south, the Americans working with | :11:25. | :11:27. | |
the Kurds, and now that Turkey has for the first time in recent weeks | :11:28. | :11:31. | |
crossed the border, used its tanks and troops to retake territory that | :11:32. | :11:36. | |
was taken by so-called Islamic State, it must now be saying to | :11:37. | :11:41. | |
President Obama, you can have all the forces you need, I am on your | :11:42. | :11:45. | |
side, I will join your efforts to expel the last of the so-called | :11:46. | :11:48. | |
Islamic State from the territory of Syria. We know this is one of | :11:49. | :11:53. | |
President Obama's big goals, before he leaves the White House, he wants | :11:54. | :11:59. | |
Islamic State gone from Syria and Iraq, said he would accept help from | :12:00. | :12:04. | |
anywhere it comes, it seems. And I want to play you this report in a | :12:05. | :12:08. | |
few minutes, an intriguing idea in India where couples try to recoup | :12:09. | :12:11. | |
some of the cost of their wedding by allowing tourist to attend for a | :12:12. | :12:13. | |
fee. Here in the UK, the Prime Minister | :12:14. | :12:24. | |
has rejected accusations that the Government Ozma Brexit strategy is | :12:25. | :12:34. | |
unclear. In the first session of Prime Minister's Questions the | :12:35. | :12:38. | |
summer break, Theresa May had this to say: I know people are keen to | :12:39. | :12:44. | |
see rapid progress and to understand what post-Brexit Britain will look | :12:45. | :12:48. | |
like. We are getting on with that vital work of, but we must also | :12:49. | :12:52. | |
think through the issues in a sober and considered way, and this is | :12:53. | :12:56. | |
about getting the kind of deal that is ambitious and bowled for Britain. | :12:57. | :12:59. | |
It is not about the Norway model or the Swiss model or any other | :13:00. | :13:03. | |
country's model, it is about developing our own British model. So | :13:04. | :13:08. | |
we will not take decisions until we are ready. We will not reveal our | :13:09. | :13:12. | |
hand prematurely, and we will not provide a running commentary on | :13:13. | :13:16. | |
every twist and turn of the negotiations. | :13:17. | :13:28. | |
This is Outside Source. Our lead story is that in Brazil, the opening | :13:29. | :13:35. | |
ceremony of the Paralympics will begin in about an hour. The build-up | :13:36. | :13:39. | |
has been Bicet with difficulties, including low ticket sales and a | :13:40. | :13:44. | |
funding crisis. A couple of stories from the BBC World Service. Two | :13:45. | :13:49. | |
people in Paris have been detained after police found a car packed with | :13:50. | :13:52. | |
gas canisters near Notre Dame Cathedral on Saturday. One of those | :13:53. | :13:57. | |
arrested is on a watchlist of people suspected of Islamists | :13:58. | :14:02. | |
radicalisation. BBC World Service radio is carrying that. And | :14:03. | :14:07. | |
transgender people in Bolivia are celebrating a change in the law | :14:08. | :14:10. | |
which allows them to choose which gender is on their official identity | :14:11. | :14:17. | |
document. And this chimney of a disused power station in southern | :14:18. | :14:20. | |
England was demolished earlier. It was the tallest concrete structure | :14:21. | :14:24. | |
ever to be demolished in the UK, which is a niche claim to fame. You | :14:25. | :14:29. | |
can find the video in the most watched list of BBC News. | :14:30. | :14:36. | |
All this week we have been showing you reports | :14:37. | :14:38. | |
They've been about right wing and far right movements - | :14:39. | :14:44. | |
and Angela Merkel's decision to allow more than one million | :14:45. | :14:56. | |
migrants into Germany and the effect that has had | :14:57. | :14:58. | |
Today's report is about the NPD - it's one of the most extreme | :14:59. | :15:03. | |
organisations to oppose Germany's refugee policy. | :15:04. | :15:04. | |
MAP Paul went to the city of Schwerin as the NPD campaigned | :15:05. | :15:07. | |
This is the National Democratic Party which many in Germany regard | :15:08. | :15:13. | |
"For the people and homeland" it says, "tourists are welcome but out | :15:14. | :15:26. | |
with failed asylum seekers and Islamists". | :15:27. | :15:27. | |
This is how they like to describe asylum seekers - | :15:28. | :15:35. | |
The government has been trying to ban the NPD for years. | :15:36. | :15:39. | |
In this recent video, members of the youth wing | :15:40. | :15:41. | |
are handing out truncheons to potential supporters. | :15:42. | :15:43. | |
Prosecutors are taking a close look to see if the video actually | :15:44. | :15:46. | |
We've gone to meet Udo Pastors as he campaigns. | :15:47. | :15:49. | |
He's railing against Angela Merkel, among others. | :15:50. | :16:09. | |
Is this the real face of the far right in Germany? | :16:10. | :16:11. | |
He's certainly full of passion, but it's not exactly | :16:12. | :16:21. | |
A handful of people here, some of them with some | :16:22. | :16:26. | |
There is a gentleman over there and on the back of his T-shirt | :16:27. | :16:31. | |
is some kind of strange mythical creature which appears to be | :16:32. | :16:34. | |
Another man here with a T-shirt saying, "In the fight for Germany, | :16:35. | :16:40. | |
I wanted know if Islam had any place at all in Germany. | :16:41. | :16:50. | |
Here is the Occident, not the Orient. | :16:51. | :16:56. | |
We are here in Europe, not in the Orient. | :16:57. | :17:01. | |
Does it not make people full of hate and maybe violence? | :17:02. | :17:10. | |
The violence is still imported by the foreigners. | :17:11. | :17:14. | |
During the speech, we bumped into Ibrahim, one of the Syrian | :17:15. | :17:17. | |
refugees Udo Pastors was complaining about. | :17:18. | :17:18. | |
I don't can speak because it's his land. | :17:19. | :17:46. | |
Because they are helpless against my statements, | :17:47. | :17:58. | |
and that is the last weapon to criminalise my person | :17:59. | :18:01. | |
That's normal in the political fighting room. | :18:02. | :18:08. | |
If you want to see all of Paul's reports this week, you can get them | :18:09. | :18:30. | |
online from the BBC either on the BBC News website or the BBC News | :18:31. | :18:35. | |
app, which includes a look yesterday on one town which has become | :18:36. | :18:38. | |
influenced by Nazis in north-eastern Germany. All of his reports | :18:39. | :18:41. | |
available online. Here is an interesting business | :18:42. | :18:52. | |
idea. We will come to that China story in a minute. A company in | :18:53. | :18:56. | |
India is helping newlyweds recoup their wedding costs by charging | :18:57. | :18:57. | |
tourists to attend. He is Devey meet Ruby and Lee. They are taking | :18:58. | :19:19. | |
part in this wedding, but they are not related to or even friends with | :19:20. | :19:24. | |
the bride and groom. In fact, they have paid to be here. I don't know | :19:25. | :19:30. | |
if words describe what we just Spearing Stokes a traditional Indian | :19:31. | :19:35. | |
wedding can run file to a week. These wedding torus of chosen day | :19:36. | :19:42. | |
one, music dance and henna. It is so wonderful to be brought into a | :19:43. | :19:44. | |
family and see this different cultural experience. And their hosts | :19:45. | :19:52. | |
on one of the first couples to use a new start-up that helps people | :19:53. | :19:54. | |
around the world to invite total trust strangers to their wedding, | :19:55. | :20:00. | |
for a price. She said, let's do this, it looks like a good idea. | :20:01. | :20:06. | |
People said, they could be some crazy person, how can you trust | :20:07. | :20:10. | |
them? But we had to trust them. On the second day, more tourists. James | :20:11. | :20:14. | |
from Ireland and Luke from New Zealand. They have made about $400 | :20:15. | :20:23. | |
from the ticket sales, but that doesn't go far when you are paying | :20:24. | :20:27. | |
for things like food and transport. Giving them the experience is more | :20:28. | :20:31. | |
exciting, even my family were excited to have a foreign person in | :20:32. | :20:37. | |
our wedding. I feel a little bit bad now that we arrived with no flowers. | :20:38. | :20:44. | |
We gave them a smile. But even do that, they will have to queue along | :20:45. | :20:45. | |
with a thousand others. Food is a huge part of an Indian | :20:46. | :20:57. | |
wedding, and so is dressing up for the occasion. | :20:58. | :21:05. | |
But while they have enjoyed themselves, with the travellers like | :21:06. | :21:13. | |
the idea of people they didn't know coming to their wedding? I'm not | :21:14. | :21:18. | |
sure it would be the same at a wedding in New Zealand, my family | :21:19. | :21:23. | |
are pretty small. So it is an idea that is clearly not for everyone, | :21:24. | :21:26. | |
but if the business takes off, weddings may not just be a big | :21:27. | :21:29. | |
social occasion, but for some, a way to earn money, too. | :21:30. | :21:38. | |
Now let's put up a story that came up briefly on the screen a couple of | :21:39. | :21:39. | |
minutes ago,. The inflight magazine on Air China | :21:40. | :21:43. | |
is handing out some interesting I take no credit for spotting this | :21:44. | :21:46. | |
story. We came to the story | :21:47. | :22:00. | |
via Haze Fan at CNBC - highlighting that the magazine | :22:01. | :22:02. | |
advises that "precautions are needed" when entering areas | :22:03. | :22:04. | |
of London mainly populated by Indians, Pakistanis | :22:05. | :22:06. | |
and black people. That affects a reasonable amount of | :22:07. | :22:15. | |
the city. They advise tourists not to go out at night, and females | :22:16. | :22:18. | |
always to be accompanied. Virendra Sharma is is | :22:19. | :22:22. | |
a Labour MP in West London. We're still waiting for a response | :22:23. | :22:27. | |
from Air China. The number of trips from China | :22:28. | :22:43. | |
to the UK rose by 46% last If you're one of those coming | :22:44. | :22:46. | |
to visit, I wouldn't take any Let's return to one of the main | :22:47. | :23:01. | |
stories at the moment, Apple's announcement of its new iPhone. It | :23:02. | :23:07. | |
hasn't got a headphone port, and lots of people are getting worked up | :23:08. | :23:10. | |
about that. It does have new wireless earphones, if you want to | :23:11. | :23:14. | |
buy them, changes to the way that Apple pay works. David Lee is in | :23:15. | :23:22. | |
Cupertino. The iPhone has overshadowed everything else, hasn't | :23:23. | :23:28. | |
it? It has, a big move to remove the headphone jack. We thought they were | :23:29. | :23:32. | |
going to do it, some of the rumours we saw before the event suggested | :23:33. | :23:36. | |
that was what they would do. And yes, they are calling it a bold new | :23:37. | :23:42. | |
leap into wireless audio. Others are slightly worried that they will have | :23:43. | :23:45. | |
to either replace their headphones and have new adapters or use the | :23:46. | :23:50. | |
ugly adapter they have said you can use if you have traditional | :23:51. | :23:56. | |
headphones with a normal socket. So this could be controversial, but | :23:57. | :23:59. | |
Apple in the past has removed ports from other devices like the MacBook | :24:00. | :24:06. | |
and always been proven right, so I think they will be confident they | :24:07. | :24:09. | |
have got it right this time. It says special event bind you, how special | :24:10. | :24:16. | |
are these things? I can tell you it is very busy. There are hundreds of | :24:17. | :24:21. | |
journalists in the building behind me, and we have just managed to | :24:22. | :24:26. | |
sneak out and do this for you guys. A lot of excitement, although | :24:27. | :24:29. | |
perhaps not as much excitement around Apple launches as they would | :24:30. | :24:33. | |
have been in the past. People are beyond the days of expecting this | :24:34. | :24:39. | |
big new idea and surprise, the kind of One More Thing that Steve Jobs | :24:40. | :24:46. | |
made famous. Still a lot of excitement, still a very mysterious | :24:47. | :24:49. | |
company, nobody knows what they will do next, but perhaps not the | :24:50. | :24:54. | |
mystique they once had. Aside from the iPhone, what else have they been | :24:55. | :24:57. | |
telling us about? Anything else worthy of note? They are bringing | :24:58. | :25:04. | |
out an updated version of the Apple Watch as well, they are the second | :25:05. | :25:09. | |
highest watch company in the world after Rolex, not bad considering | :25:10. | :25:13. | |
that only launched it last year. The new one is much more sporty, and | :25:14. | :25:16. | |
they seem to be drifting away from it being a fashion product, | :25:17. | :25:20. | |
something cool that pop stars might work, and very much a sport device, | :25:21. | :25:24. | |
and indeed they have partnered with Nikkei to make that happen, so that | :25:25. | :25:27. | |
is their other significant announcement today. -- they have | :25:28. | :25:36. | |
partnered with Nike. Thank you, Dave, live from the Apple launch. We | :25:37. | :25:40. | |
will let you get back inside. More coverage of that online now. If you | :25:41. | :25:46. | |
have any questions on the stories we are covering, it is the usual | :25:47. | :25:50. | |
routine. I will be happy to try to get you an answer. I will speak to | :25:51. | :25:52. | |
you in a couple of minutes. Hello there. Over the past couple of | :25:53. | :26:14. | |
days, | :26:15. | :26:15. |
