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,
