Plus catty cake will be Eli from Washington.

:00:00.:00:09.

Have you heard about the presidential candidate

:00:10.:00:10.

who didn't know where Aleppo was when asked on live TV?

:00:11.:00:13.

And no, it wasn't Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton.

:00:14.:00:35.

At Outside Source we use our touch screen to access all the information

:00:36.:00:43.

coming into the BBC newsroom. A range of maps and background help us

:00:44.:00:46.

explain the stories we are covering. The World Bank has

:00:47.:00:49.

issued a stark warning They say one in ten

:00:50.:00:51.

deaths worldwide can be And they put the cost

:00:52.:00:58.

to the world economy The report says "Air pollution

:00:59.:01:05.

is a challenge that threatens basic human welfare,

:01:06.:01:10.

and constrains economic growth". Here's one of the report authors

:01:11.:01:17.

explaining the study. We are saying that governments are

:01:18.:01:28.

starting to act but we want them to top investment in favour of cleaner

:01:29.:01:32.

air. We want to make this a priority. Air pollution affects the

:01:33.:01:39.

elderly and children more, and by causing premature deaths among

:01:40.:01:43.

working age men and women it is leading to loss of labour income and

:01:44.:01:50.

costing the world economy 225 alien dollars in 2013, and in the south

:01:51.:01:56.

Asian region that is almost equivalent to 1% of GDP, but if you

:01:57.:02:02.

look at the impact across all age groups, not just the working age,

:02:03.:02:10.

and through welfare index, which is used to evaluate policies, the costs

:02:11.:02:16.

are even bigger, five point $1 trillion.

:02:17.:02:18.

Governments monitor the risk of air pollution using

:02:19.:02:20.

Bear in mind anything over 50 is consider unsafe.

:02:21.:02:24.

Here in London it's a nice clear day and the index is showing 51.

:02:25.:02:30.

Robin Brant is in Shanghai where air pollution

:02:31.:02:43.

Welcome to the most populous city in the most populous country in the

:02:44.:02:59.

world, Shanghai, about 24 million people live here and there is a

:03:00.:03:05.

pollution problem. It's partly down to this, the early evening rush-hour

:03:06.:03:11.

traffic. People are buying and companies are selling more cars in

:03:12.:03:16.

this country but the leak -- the pollution problem is mainly down to

:03:17.:03:18.

industries that have fuelled the economic boom, coal, steel, iron and

:03:19.:03:27.

cement, and what is China trying to do about this? It's trying to

:03:28.:03:33.

reverse the effects. President Xi Jinping was talking about how

:03:34.:03:38.

forests and clean running water work more valuable than mountains of

:03:39.:03:47.

gold. He made environmental protection and key policy, trying to

:03:48.:03:50.

shut steel mills and coal mines but that takes time. The economy there

:03:51.:03:58.

is growing but slowing, and the leadership wants economic growth to

:03:59.:04:03.

continue but to be sustainable, and Chinese people want a cleaner place

:04:04.:04:06.

to live in but here is one statistic. Carbon omissions in this

:04:07.:04:13.

country will not teach, that is stop growing, for another 14 years, which

:04:14.:04:21.

shows the scale of the problem here. Let's move from China to Greece.

:04:22.:04:23.

Almost six months ago we were reporting on a deal

:04:24.:04:25.

between the EU and Turkey that was designed to reduce

:04:26.:04:28.

the number of migrants arriving on the Greek islands.

:04:29.:04:30.

Numbers fell dramatically but Greece is still struggling.

:04:31.:04:35.

60,000 people remain there - either waiting to be

:04:36.:04:38.

moved back to Turkey, or onto elsewhere in the EU.

:04:39.:04:46.

Damian Grammaticas is on the Greek island of Chios.

:04:47.:04:52.

He's looking at the pressures coming to bear.

:04:53.:05:01.

The tourists are here, indulging, enjoying

:05:02.:05:05.

But in the background, the refugees linger, trapped as

:05:06.:05:11.

Out at sea, the boats have slowed, Greek

:05:12.:05:18.

Europe's deal with Turkey is having an effect.

:05:19.:05:24.

Turkish patrols are deterring more crossings.

:05:25.:05:35.

Arrivals now around 100 a day, not in the thousands.

:05:36.:05:40.

So it is here on land where the crisis has shifted.

:05:41.:05:45.

This man arrived from Homs in Syria two months ago.

:05:46.:05:53.

We slept in the Garden about 20 days and no one cared about us.

:05:54.:05:59.

He is now stuck in a temporary shelter hoping for

:06:00.:06:01.

refugee status but with no end to the process insight.

:06:02.:06:04.

There are people here for six months and they are still waiting.

:06:05.:06:11.

For me, I am two months so maybe we will wait two

:06:12.:06:13.

Adding to their frustration, the refugees cannot work.

:06:14.:06:20.

They are reliant on hand-outs and it is

:06:21.:06:22.

charities and not the EU that is feeding them.

:06:23.:06:27.

For this lady, a Syrian Kurd, it is demoralising and

:06:28.:06:31.

degrading and not what they expected in Europe.

:06:32.:06:35.

TRANSLATION: We escaped war, death, how can they reject us?

:06:36.:06:40.

We are in Europe, which always talks about

:06:41.:06:44.

Right in the heart of Chios the refugees have made their own

:06:45.:06:52.

shanty and islanders believe the EU is deliberately slowing the asylum

:06:53.:06:57.

The EU would like to minimise the flow so they leave

:06:58.:07:06.

the procedure to take months for the refugees.

:07:07.:07:10.

The EU's policies have to an extent secured European borders

:07:11.:07:13.

here for now, limiting the influx but they have left Greece and the

:07:14.:07:18.

refugees already here in limbo, unclear when

:07:19.:07:22.

And there is more reporting and background information on the

:07:23.:07:36.

migrant crisis online. The Paralympics are under way -

:07:37.:07:41.

this is day one of 11 - and there 38 gold medals

:07:42.:07:44.

up for grabs. Sports like shooting,

:07:45.:07:50.

athletics and judo. China has taken an early lead -

:07:51.:07:54.

they top the table with two golds Julia, you are at the seven aside

:07:55.:08:23.

that all. Yes, I am here at the stadium where the football matches

:08:24.:08:28.

have been having since this morning, first GB against Brazil, Brazil one,

:08:29.:08:36.

now Iran and Argentina. That sport is conducted by seven athletes on

:08:37.:08:41.

each side and the field and cool our a bit smaller than the Olympic

:08:42.:08:48.

football pitch and the athletes to take part have cerebral palsy or

:08:49.:08:56.

acquired brain injury, but we were watching the matches, there was lots

:08:57.:09:02.

of enthusiasm and some high level football being played on the field,

:09:03.:09:08.

so lots of excitement here in an area were also the shooting

:09:09.:09:12.

competitions are taking place and the equestrian competitions. And

:09:13.:09:16.

some of the gold medals have been one. Pick out a few of the key event

:09:17.:09:25.

so far. The first round of medals today was that the athletic Stadium,

:09:26.:09:32.

the 5000 metres race in the T11 category, for blind athletes, and

:09:33.:09:44.

that was where Brazil got its first medal, for an man who last year was

:09:45.:09:48.

leading the World Championship race by a mile and at the last lap he

:09:49.:09:53.

collapsed of exhaustion and was overcome by the other sprinters, so

:09:54.:10:01.

he didn't get any medals, but now he got a silver and gold went to Kenya.

:10:02.:10:09.

There was also a first gold medal for the Paralympics GB team. Megan

:10:10.:10:14.

Giglia got the first gold medal in the C one to three category in

:10:15.:10:21.

cycling at the velodrome for that 3000 metres individual pursuit, and

:10:22.:10:26.

while she has just started cycling three years ago, she has already set

:10:27.:10:32.

her first world record earlier today before snatching that God, and while

:10:33.:10:37.

we will see more results coming later today from the swimming pool,

:10:38.:10:43.

wheelchair basketball, and in this woman pools there is one more

:10:44.:10:48.

highlight, Holland's Chantelle the felt. She is only 15 but has already

:10:49.:10:57.

the world and European champion and later if she gets the gold in the

:10:58.:11:01.

breaststroke she will become the first Paralympic champion born in

:11:02.:11:07.

the 21st-century, so how is that for making us feel a little bit older?

:11:08.:11:15.

Thank you, Julia. Also I am keeping an eye on that BBC sport at an Dame

:11:16.:11:21.

Sarah Storey will go in the individual pursuit final. By Mark

:11:22.:11:30.

calculation is it is right now. If she gets it she will pick up the

:11:31.:11:34.

12th Paralympic gold medal so we will bring you that soon. In the

:11:35.:11:39.

meantime, let's talk about the Palace of Westminster.

:11:40.:11:44.

Inside it are both houses of Parliament.

:11:45.:11:46.

So urgent that MPs may have to move out for six years.

:11:47.:11:51.

Some parts of the exterior are crumbling.

:11:52.:12:03.

Two Courtyards are becoming overgrown.

:12:04.:12:06.

Inside there's a labyrinth of tunnels and wires.

:12:07.:12:07.

There's a great quote from a former senior House of Commons official.

:12:08.:12:11.

He says, "I don't think I'm giving away any secrets by saying

:12:12.:12:14.

there are lots of wires, nobody is quite sure where they go."

:12:15.:12:20.

So that needs to be cleared up as well.

:12:21.:12:23.

Estimated to cost around ?4 billion -

:12:24.:12:38.

I wanted to know more about the state of the place -

:12:39.:12:46.

and one man who knows a lot about it is our UK political

:12:47.:12:49.

The structure of the building has a bit of wear and tear but you would

:12:50.:12:55.

expect that as it was put up in the 1830s. If you go into some of the

:12:56.:13:05.

toilets, there is a smell that has something to do with the plumbing

:13:06.:13:10.

from our Victorian forebears. I would not recommend it. There is a

:13:11.:13:16.

certain with which would be powerful. And reasonably things like

:13:17.:13:21.

phones and computer connections need to be rewired. This building was set

:13:22.:13:28.

up to be an imposing Victorian Gothic palace in the 1830s in the

:13:29.:13:36.

day before the internet, can you imagine the place last had a major

:13:37.:13:41.

overhaul in the 1940s. No e-mail, no nothing. So where will the MPs go?

:13:42.:13:52.

I'm not sure they will. Find a space for them down there, maybe? There

:13:53.:13:58.

will only be 600 of them in the future. The plan put forward has

:13:59.:14:04.

been to get out for about six years to nearby buildings, the alternative

:14:05.:14:10.

was there are less keen on is for the work to go on around them, which

:14:11.:14:14.

would be doubled the cost and wouldn't be finished until about

:14:15.:14:22.

2060. We will be dead by then. Politicians aren't massively popular

:14:23.:14:27.

at the moment, will the public back this money for this hugely popular

:14:28.:14:31.

building? I suspect they will but there have been some fun suggestions

:14:32.:14:37.

what they do with the MPs, my favourite is to put them on a cruise

:14:38.:14:42.

ship to go around the coast of the UK doing little appearances. You can

:14:43.:14:48.

imagine them popping into ports around the UK. The Telegraph is

:14:49.:14:54.

saying repairer parliament if we must never make it less angry and

:14:55.:15:02.

less moved -- less rude. I want to bring this up now because an

:15:03.:15:08.

important story coming in from France, said French Interior

:15:09.:15:11.

Minister saying the woman had been arrested near Paris, they were

:15:12.:15:17.

likely planning an imminent attack. One policeman has been injured

:15:18.:15:20.

during the operation and this was connected to an arrest we reported

:15:21.:15:27.

yesterday about two people picked up by the authorities in connection

:15:28.:15:31.

with gas canisters around in Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris on Saturday.

:15:32.:15:39.

Yesterday two people were picked up, we no one of those was on a list of

:15:40.:15:43.

people being watched for being radicalised, now this. The woman

:15:44.:15:50.

arrested, one police officer injured and the French Interior Minister

:15:51.:15:54.

saying they looked like they were intent on carrying out an attack. If

:15:55.:16:00.

we get more information we will show it to you.

:16:01.:16:05.

In a little while I will send you this. It is from the BBC pop-up

:16:06.:16:11.

team. They're in Russia at the moment,

:16:12.:16:12.

and they've been to southern Siberia to meet people

:16:13.:16:15.

from the Altai community. Education Secretary

:16:16.:16:23.

Justine Greening told MPs that the government is not ruling

:16:24.:16:24.

out lifting a ban on building The announcement was met by harsh

:16:25.:16:27.

criticism from her The landscape for schools has

:16:28.:16:45.

changed hugely, we now have a huge variety of educational offers. There

:16:46.:16:51.

will be no return to the binary choice of the past where schools

:16:52.:16:55.

separate children into winners or losers. This government wants to

:16:56.:17:02.

focus on the future. This policy will not help social mobility that

:17:03.:17:06.

will entrench inequality and disadvantage. It will be the lucky

:17:07.:17:11.

few who can't afford tuition who will get ahead and the disadvantaged

:17:12.:17:17.

will be left behind, a policy for the few at the expense of the many.

:17:18.:17:23.

This is Outside Source live from the BBC newsroom.

:17:24.:17:36.

Our lead story concerns air poluution.

:17:37.:17:45.

deaths worldwide are caused by air pollution - that is six

:17:46.:17:49.

times more than malaria, and nearly as many deaths as those

:17:50.:17:52.

Israel has begun building a massive underground barrier that

:17:53.:17:59.

will eventually stretch all along its border with Gaza.

:18:00.:18:02.

It's designed to prevent Palestinian militants digging

:18:03.:18:03.

Air China has apologised for an article in its inflight

:18:04.:18:08.

magazine which warned visitors to London to be careful in areas

:18:09.:18:11.

mainly populated by Indians, Pakistanis and black people.

:18:12.:18:13.

It's removed all copies of the magazine from its planes.

:18:14.:18:15.

This is a British man, Kevin Scott breaking the world speed

:18:16.:18:21.

record for a monowheel motorcycle - he reaches 98 km an hour.

:18:22.:18:24.

Not that I've ridden a monowheel, but I feel that record

:18:25.:18:27.

American company Liberty Media says it has bought Formula One

:18:28.:18:46.

And guess who's going to the boss of F1.

:18:47.:18:49.

Bernie Ecclestone's been in charge for 40 years -

:18:50.:18:52.

They have somebody who knows what they're doing, for a change.

:18:53.:19:01.

The US is a big opportunity long-term

:19:02.:19:09.

but this is a great global sport and one

:19:10.:19:14.

we will continue to build on the things Bernie has built, so

:19:15.:19:22.

This is a great sport with great brands and stars,

:19:23.:19:25.

we want to make it everything it can be and work with early to make it

:19:26.:19:29.

is buying the software business of a division of Hewlett-Packard

:19:30.:19:40.

A string of acquisitions has turned Micro Focus, from a relatively small

:19:41.:19:44.

player to now being worth around ten billion dollars.

:19:45.:19:54.

Let's bring in Michelle live from New York. This is partly about Micro

:19:55.:20:03.

Focus's expansion but also the contraction of an iconic corporation

:20:04.:20:07.

in America. Hewlett-Packard is one of the oldest names in Silicon

:20:08.:20:13.

Valley, it was started in a garage by the two founders but since then

:20:14.:20:20.

sales of the traditional PC have declined, the company has gone

:20:21.:20:24.

through various leaders, it has put itself into an enterprise business

:20:25.:20:29.

and a hardware business, the bit sold to date came from the

:20:30.:20:35.

enterprise side of the company but it's a huge come-down for a company

:20:36.:20:40.

that is one of the oldest names in Silicon Valley and it isn't chat

:20:41.:20:45.

contrast to this British firm, a relatively small player, suddenly

:20:46.:20:50.

growing in size and some people are saying on the UK site it is a good

:20:51.:20:58.

signpost for Brexit, the kind of business and technology in the UK. I

:20:59.:21:03.

will just pull up a tweet from the East Seattle Times which is done an

:21:04.:21:10.

investigation into LinkedIn. Talk us through this. They did a report and

:21:11.:21:20.

found searches for female names such as Stefanie would actually bring up

:21:21.:21:24.

a male name like Stephen. The company has denied this and said

:21:25.:21:31.

there isn't a case of pious and it has updated its algorithm to avoid

:21:32.:21:37.

that happening again. They say it wasn't intentional and there was no

:21:38.:21:41.

bias. It raises a question about algorithms. They are written by

:21:42.:21:47.

humans so bias can be inadvertently written into it. If you look at

:21:48.:21:54.

Facebook, they got into trouble over their trending side of their site,

:21:55.:21:59.

the way they dealt with it was to replace people with algorithms but

:22:00.:22:03.

as we have seen here, that is not always the best answer.

:22:04.:22:15.

More on the Micro Focus story on the BBC website. Now, that report from

:22:16.:22:33.

the ABC pop-up team, which is reporting from a community in

:22:34.:22:34.

Siberia. And I can quickly tell you that

:22:35.:25:12.

Sarah Storey has won her 12th Paralympic gold in the last few

:25:13.:25:17.

minutes. We will get more of that in the next half of Outside Source.

:25:18.:25:27.

It's time for our round-up of the world weather conditions and we will

:25:28.:25:32.

start with North America. This aid lump of cloud is the remnants of

:25:33.:25:35.

hurricane Newton,
