:00:17. > :00:26.Hello, this is Outside Source. Hillary Clinton is back on the
:00:27. > :00:30.campaign trail. She made her first public appearance in North Carolina
:00:31. > :00:34.after falling ill at the 9/11 memorial. The Philippine Senate is
:00:35. > :00:39.told that their president once shot a Government agents. He has denied
:00:40. > :00:46.the allegation. It comes after criticism of his backing for
:00:47. > :00:48.extrajudicial killing. And as Russia approach as Parliamentary elections,
:00:49. > :00:56.we find out why it is still the president who is gaining support. On
:00:57. > :00:59.sport, we will have the all Ireland football final, but even bigger, we
:01:00. > :01:14.will talk about the 65-year-old curse on one of the clubs.
:01:15. > :01:20.The story we touched on in the headlines there, in the Philippines,
:01:21. > :01:26.the Senate has been hearing testimony that their president
:01:27. > :01:31.ordered the killings of about 1000 criminals and political rivals over
:01:32. > :01:34.25 year period. The claim came from a former hit man who insisted two
:01:35. > :01:41.Senators whose testimony was accurate and politically motivated.
:01:42. > :01:45.He accused the president of involvement in death squads and this
:01:46. > :01:49.is part of that testimony. TRANSLATION: They have been ordering
:01:50. > :01:52.us to kill and we don't know the names of the victims, they just call
:01:53. > :01:57.us and ask us to kill someone. My conscience has been bothering me.
:01:58. > :02:01.There are a lot of killings. We pushed one man into the water when
:02:02. > :02:06.he was eaten by a crocodile. People were killed like chickens. They were
:02:07. > :02:11.being killed for no reason. I'm not destroying the credibility of the
:02:12. > :02:20.president, just telling the truth of what he asked me to do. Our Pacific
:02:21. > :02:23.Asia editor told me more. An extraordinary testimony.
:02:24. > :02:32.Essentially, 1000 people over a 20 year period and this happened in the
:02:33. > :02:37.city 's South in the south of the Philippines. He promised to clean up
:02:38. > :02:39.crying in that area and did just that and that's what he's done
:02:40. > :02:43.afterwards since he became president, he made the same
:02:44. > :02:47.promises. The person we just heard from there in the Senate committee
:02:48. > :02:52.spoke about how he personally killed 50 people, Fed wants of the
:02:53. > :02:59.crocodiles and others were dumped at sea. Extraordinary testimony. Did he
:03:00. > :03:04.say why he'd chosen to come out with all this now? That the Senate
:03:05. > :03:08.enquire into the present's current campaign to rid the country of
:03:09. > :03:12.crime. 3000 also suspected drug dealers have been killed in shoot
:03:13. > :03:16.outs by the police and vigilantes and essentially, the Senate is
:03:17. > :03:20.looking into this and this is part of this testimony. We also heard of
:03:21. > :03:24.this man has something of a conscience committee killed all
:03:25. > :03:29.these people, he wants to speak out and explain exactly what happened.
:03:30. > :03:33.Have we had in a direct response from the president himself? No, but
:03:34. > :03:36.his spokesman said there is nothing in these allegations, they've been
:03:37. > :03:50.investigated before and nothing has come of them. A Government minister
:03:51. > :03:53.has said they are lies and fabrications, but I would expect the
:03:54. > :03:55.President at some point will have to come out and make a strong statement
:03:56. > :03:57.himself, because, as you said, they are extraordinary allegations. And
:03:58. > :03:59.part of the present's voter appeal was people wanted to see a
:04:00. > :04:03.no-nonsense approach to crime. But is this an approach or step too far?
:04:04. > :04:06.Will it affect his popularity? Perhaps not. People voted him into
:04:07. > :04:13.office knowing full well his reputation. The death toll has
:04:14. > :04:17.continued to rise over the past few weeks and his popularity remains
:04:18. > :04:20.high. Perhaps these revelations, shocking as they are, will not
:04:21. > :04:26.really affect his popularity in the Philippines. Far right extremists
:04:27. > :04:34.have clashed with asylum seekers in eastern Germany. It happened earlier
:04:35. > :04:40.this year when people were cheering as migrant housing burned down. It
:04:41. > :04:44.is close to Dresden where the anti-Islamisation movement began. At
:04:45. > :04:49.last nights and 18 men and women fought with migrants and refugees.
:04:50. > :04:53.They fled to a hostel which was placed under guard by the police.
:04:54. > :05:00.There were differing reports about how that fight broke out. The last
:05:01. > :05:04.time the Russians vote for a new parliament in 2011, claims of ballot
:05:05. > :05:08.rigging caused a mass street protests. Since then, the jailing of
:05:09. > :05:15.activist and tougher laws against restrictions has taken the wind out
:05:16. > :05:19.of it progress -- protest movement. On the eve of Sunday's Parliamentary
:05:20. > :05:23.election, there is widespread apathy among the electorate. A quarter of a
:05:24. > :05:30.century after the collapse of the Soviet Union, Russians losing
:05:31. > :05:36.interest in democracy? We are on a journey to a remote part of Russia.
:05:37. > :05:45.Speeding along the northern river. On a board our election officials.
:05:46. > :05:50.And also ballot box. We land on a tiny island. It doesn't have a
:05:51. > :05:56.polling station, but then there are only three registered voters living
:05:57. > :06:00.here. It is off to find a place where the islanders can vote early
:06:01. > :06:07.in Russia's Parliamentary election. With a few tweaks, a village kitchen
:06:08. > :06:12.becomes a voting centre. After casting her vote, 84-year-old --
:06:13. > :06:20.this 84-year-old woman settles down for a nice chat about cabbage patch.
:06:21. > :06:24.This woman has two lovers in her life: her flowers and the president.
:06:25. > :06:30.It is Vladimir Putin's party she voted for.
:06:31. > :06:39.TRANSLATION: When it he raised my pension, I cried with joy. What she
:06:40. > :06:45.think of democracy? I don't know what that is, she says. I asked the
:06:46. > :06:52.question here. And receive so many different answers. Democracy is when
:06:53. > :06:58.there is order and security and no litter she tells me. It is some kind
:06:59. > :07:05.of struggle for something, she says. I don't know what is. But to these
:07:06. > :07:11.Russians, democracy was all about free and fair elections. Here and
:07:12. > :07:14.across Russia there were unprecedented anti-government street
:07:15. > :07:24.protests sparked by vote rigging in the last parliamentary election.
:07:25. > :07:28.Among the protesters was this man. The opposition movement has faded he
:07:29. > :07:31.says and with it, hopes for Democratic change. Most of the
:07:32. > :07:40.people they don't think about democracy in their daily life. They
:07:41. > :07:46.go fishing or do their gardens, they are thinking about their children,
:07:47. > :07:51.their families. They don't want to oppose the authorities. Crucially,
:07:52. > :07:56.most Russians still trust Vladimir Putin far more than their
:07:57. > :08:01.parliaments. The Kremlin rules Russia through a power vertical.
:08:02. > :08:04.With Vladimir Putin at the top and all other institutions, including
:08:05. > :08:08.the polymer, below him and subservient to him. But with
:08:09. > :08:12.economic problems arising, the danger for the Kremlin is that if
:08:13. > :08:16.people start to doubt the legitimacy of those other institutions, they
:08:17. > :08:25.will appear in all their hopes on the one man at the top. At this
:08:26. > :08:32.farmer there are as many cows as there are Russian MPs. But it is in
:08:33. > :08:37.Vladimir Putin they trust here. TRANSLATION: Our people can ask
:08:38. > :08:44.Putin directly for help. They solve many problems like this. Back on the
:08:45. > :08:48.river, the ballot box is heading to another island. But Russians are not
:08:49. > :08:59.expecting another polymer to make their lives better, they think they
:09:00. > :09:03.have a president for that. Now for a sport we've never really discussed
:09:04. > :09:09.before. Gaelic football, massive in Ireland. This weekend sees the all
:09:10. > :09:12.Ireland final is Dublin take on Mayo for the Sam Maguire cup. It will be
:09:13. > :09:17.under the spotlight, because there is the belief a curse has been put
:09:18. > :09:23.on them since the last time they won the final in 1951. Confused? We were
:09:24. > :09:26.too. So let us turn to Conor McNamara in the sports centre who
:09:27. > :09:34.can tell us a bit more with some authority. Tell us about this
:09:35. > :09:39.supposed curse. You have to go back to 1951 when a mail asked one of the
:09:40. > :09:44.all Ireland final. Winning that is a big deal in Ireland, like winning
:09:45. > :09:48.the Premier League and FA Cup all rolled into one. These guys are
:09:49. > :09:51.amateur players, they don't get paid and are transfer fees. You are
:09:52. > :09:56.representing your county and it is the chance to become a local hero.
:09:57. > :10:01.In 1951, they won and they travelled immediately Homer to the home
:10:02. > :10:06.account in the West of Ireland, mail, and as they were travelling
:10:07. > :10:11.through a town on the way, they got caught up in a funeral possession.
:10:12. > :10:15.Funerals in Ireland, even still, towns come to a standstill and
:10:16. > :10:21.people walk slowly through the town a Coffin or funeral cortege. But in
:10:22. > :10:25.their speed to get home, the players were making noise and they moved
:10:26. > :10:30.quickly added respect the funeral and the priest who was in charge,
:10:31. > :10:36.said there will be a curse on Mayo Gaelic footballers and while they
:10:37. > :10:43.are alive, that team will never win again. Is now 65 years and they
:10:44. > :10:48.haven't won. Have never come close? They have. They've been to the final
:10:49. > :10:52.seven times and once it went to a replay and in 1996 there was this
:10:53. > :10:56.freakish winning point at the end which our people feeling
:10:57. > :10:59.superstitious. Now they've come against a fallacy Dublin team who
:11:00. > :11:03.are the reigning champions and people are wondering, is this the
:11:04. > :11:08.chance to enter this curse? In terms of the living members of the 1951
:11:09. > :11:16.squad, there were three earlier this year and any priest passed away,
:11:17. > :11:21.leaving just two surviving members and the people of Mayo would love
:11:22. > :11:25.for them in their lifetimes to see a celebration and stamp out this
:11:26. > :11:31.curse. You could get an attendance of something like 80 3000. This is
:11:32. > :11:37.obviously a huge sport. Massive in Ireland. If you look at the big
:11:38. > :11:40.stadiums in Europe including Wembley in London, which is the
:11:41. > :11:44.second-biggest, and the Croke Park in Dublin is the third biggest. Is
:11:45. > :11:50.the biggest dating that doesn't do football on regular basis. It is a
:11:51. > :11:55.horseshoe stadium, the same shape as a baseball ground. Three enormous
:11:56. > :11:58.sides and one open and it has a fantastic atmosphere. The players
:11:59. > :12:01.are amateur and it is all about county pride and entire towns will
:12:02. > :12:06.be taken over, they will pay in houses in the colours of the team
:12:07. > :12:11.and it is a massive pride if you can come over as winners of the all
:12:12. > :12:15.Ireland and win the cup for Sam Maguire. And particularly for May
:12:16. > :12:20.after 65 years of this suppose I'd curse, what would it mean to the
:12:21. > :12:26.ball there? Is very much a rural county, where style, huge amounts of
:12:27. > :12:29.immigration over the years. People move to Dublin, London, America.
:12:30. > :12:33.Even the team have to separate into two squads for training, because
:12:34. > :12:38.some players have had to leave the county to find work in Dublin. So
:12:39. > :12:43.they split their training sessions. For so many people, you meet them in
:12:44. > :12:48.England and they say, ie used to go home to Mayo in the school holidays,
:12:49. > :12:53.people have a huge affinity with it. They are good at Gaelic football.
:12:54. > :12:58.They've got to the final seven times since 1951, but never over the line.
:12:59. > :13:02.People will say Dublin are good, may you don't have a prayer, be what
:13:03. > :13:15.they really mean is there is a superstition and maybe they are
:13:16. > :13:18.cursed. Thank you. Still to Outside Source. The death of this young
:13:19. > :13:23.Chinese actors from cancer has triggered debate on social media,
:13:24. > :13:30.because traditionally -- originally she chose traditional Chinese
:13:31. > :13:37.medicine over chemotherapy. Here in the UK, a documentary about the
:13:38. > :13:43.Beatles premiered in London tonight. Eight Days A Week, The Touring Gears
:13:44. > :13:47.charts their rise from the cavern club to sell-out tours of America.
:13:48. > :13:52.Celebrities including Madonna attended as did John Lennon's widow
:13:53. > :14:07.Yoko Ono and George Harrison's widow, Olivia. Hero Ringo Starr and
:14:08. > :14:12.Paul McCartney. How strong were the memories and emotions it will be for
:14:13. > :14:15.you? Well, we will find out tonight and the Rothko brought back several
:14:16. > :14:21.memories of the Hollywood bowl footage. I haven't seen the finished
:14:22. > :14:25.product, so I believe there's a lot more stuff in it. Balou Du Reventon
:14:26. > :14:30.we have great memories of playing with John and George, so that's very
:14:31. > :14:33.emotional and special, you know, to see that again. And there are some
:14:34. > :14:38.great things we'd half forgotten, like refusing to play a show in
:14:39. > :14:43.Jacksonville in Mississippi, because we heard it was segregated and
:14:44. > :14:47.blacks on one side and whites on the other, and we said, that stupid, so
:14:48. > :14:51.we won't play it and we didn't and they had to change the rules. It was
:14:52. > :14:55.the first integrated show Jacksonville ever had. So looking
:14:56. > :15:00.back now, that's very cool. Very proud of that. What does it mean to
:15:01. > :15:05.you to see all these people here for a Beatles Premier after these years?
:15:06. > :15:16.Balou Du Reventon is learned last ten years. -- it will only last for
:15:17. > :15:19.ten years. You've finished that final performance of the top of the
:15:20. > :15:25.Apple building. The time, you didn't know it was your last. What are your
:15:26. > :15:32.memories of that time? It was great, but the final gig, we thought we'd
:15:33. > :15:35.done that. That's why life is always open and then we went on the roof
:15:36. > :15:41.and played live, which we loved to do. Balou Du Reventon looking back
:15:42. > :15:46.on it, it was a great concert. We were enjoying playing and we had a
:15:47. > :15:54.very good drama... It was a great little band. The memories are just
:15:55. > :15:59.of that for us. We had two great guys to play with and it made for a
:16:00. > :16:13.great little band... And then there was as!
:16:14. > :16:19.Our top story: Hillary Clinton is back on the campaign trail. She has
:16:20. > :16:27.made her first public appearance in North Carolina since falling ill at
:16:28. > :16:32.a 9/11 a memorial event. On Friday there is a major gathering of the
:16:33. > :16:37.European Union in the Slovakian capital. The goal is to shape the
:16:38. > :16:41.vision of what the EU can be after Britain's vote to leave. Let us show
:16:42. > :16:53.you where we are going. There we are. This informal EU summit will
:16:54. > :17:01.take place in Bratislava Castle. The UK is not on the guest list, but the
:17:02. > :17:03.other 27 members. The president of the European Council, this is an
:17:04. > :17:08.opportunity to bring our political control and show the world a display
:17:09. > :17:14.Poster Brexit unity and is focused on three issues. It has access to
:17:15. > :17:18.that Brexit was in part an expression of profound disquiet
:17:19. > :17:22.about immigration and while the EU members are not about to compromise
:17:23. > :17:27.on freedom of movement, they do accept they need a better system for
:17:28. > :17:30.dealing with the huge influx of migrants and refugees. The problem
:17:31. > :17:35.is, they don't agree on what that system should be. Expect more
:17:36. > :17:39.pressure on Hungary, Slovakia and others to accept the proposed
:17:40. > :17:47.migrant quotas. The attacks in Paris, Brussels and Nice read that
:17:48. > :17:54.any discussions about the EU needed to offer. Expect better controls on
:17:55. > :17:57.external borders and also John cloudy-macro will be pushing's --
:17:58. > :18:05.idea military quarters. More than ever,
:18:06. > :18:10.the EU needs to show that it improves the finances of its members
:18:11. > :18:15.and its citizens. If you look at the economic problems of Spain, Portugal
:18:16. > :18:19.or Greece, you understand that the EU is still struggling to recover
:18:20. > :18:27.economically. Expect more detailed plans designed to deliver stability
:18:28. > :18:33.and growth. Here in Bratislava, all the EU flags are flying apart from
:18:34. > :18:36.the union Jack. Of course, Brexit is going to be discussed, but we are in
:18:37. > :18:41.the strange situation where everyone knows the UK is leaving but it has
:18:42. > :18:45.formally told the EU, nor has it defined what it wants this new
:18:46. > :18:49.relationship to be. So when senior EU figures say right now there's not
:18:50. > :18:54.much to be done on the detail of Brexit, in large part, they mean it.
:18:55. > :19:01.One last thing, the EU's tee-macro big powers, France and Germany have
:19:02. > :19:03.elections next year and both presidents have significant
:19:04. > :19:07.political pressure at home. Everything they do in Bratislava
:19:08. > :19:12.will be in the context of that. As ever with the EU, for the people
:19:13. > :19:18.walking the red carpet, it is all about balancing personal, national
:19:19. > :19:23.and European interests. Our reporter will be live in Bratislava tomorrow
:19:24. > :19:28.covering the summit and there'll be a special editions of this programme
:19:29. > :19:33.on our usual time slot, The Times on the screen now.
:19:34. > :19:40.There is intense debate in China after a 26-year-old actress died
:19:41. > :19:44.from cancer. She refused chemotherapy is saying she preferred
:19:45. > :19:48.traditional Chinese medicine. Now a lot of people are wondering if that
:19:49. > :19:55.is why she died. She documented burgeoning online and here are some
:19:56. > :19:59.of her pictures. You can even see copping there. We saw that during
:20:00. > :20:04.the Olympics recently. It attracted the attention of tens of thousands
:20:05. > :20:08.of social media users, some of them critical of the therapy she had
:20:09. > :20:13.chosen and one commented, listen to me, Chinese medicine is absolutely
:20:14. > :20:19.useless on a cancer. Listen to a doctor if you do want to listen to
:20:20. > :20:28.me. Another told her to abandon the treatments and to rely modern
:20:29. > :20:32.medicine. Back in July, she announced she'd been diagnosed with
:20:33. > :20:36.lymphoma but was reluctant to take chemotherapy. She had reasons, she
:20:37. > :20:40.had seen her friends suffer under chemotherapy and was worried about
:20:41. > :20:45.that and about how it would affect her looks. She was worried it would
:20:46. > :20:48.work and about the cost. So for those reasons, she went for
:20:49. > :20:53.traditional Chinese medicine, techniques like acupuncture, cupping
:20:54. > :20:58.and blood-letting. Unfortunately, she deteriorated and by late August,
:20:59. > :21:03.began chemotherapy. But perhaps too late, because, sadly, she died on
:21:04. > :21:07.September seven. So this all happen quickly, she was diagnosed in July.
:21:08. > :21:12.Honest question of taking Chinese medicine, traditional how attached
:21:13. > :21:16.are the Chinese to the more traditional remedies? It is a big
:21:17. > :21:22.thing in China. A lot of my friends go for acupuncture as well, because
:21:23. > :21:26.Chinese medicine goes back thousands of years and our universities offer
:21:27. > :21:30.degrees in it as well. It is considered quite well established.
:21:31. > :21:33.But critics say the benefits have been scientifically proven and more
:21:34. > :21:38.research is needed, but many supported and just the. Olympic
:21:39. > :21:43.athletes like Michael Phelps have been known to use cupping and they
:21:44. > :21:46.believe it is less intrusive and there are fewer side-effects. Having
:21:47. > :21:50.said that, I do know anyone who would think it would be a good cure
:21:51. > :21:56.for cancer and that's where the debate mainly been. And it's been a
:21:57. > :21:59.frenetic debate, it has got a lot of people talking. Read my BS, added
:22:00. > :22:04.the starter when she announced she had cancer. A lot of fans were
:22:05. > :22:08.urging her take chemotherapy and after her death there was another
:22:09. > :22:13.big debate and lots of people have been criticising Chinese medicine,
:22:14. > :22:18.but supporters of it have fought back and some argued that many
:22:19. > :22:24.cancer patients have chemotherapy and then die, but that doesn't mean
:22:25. > :22:28.Western medicine a sham. Nearly time for London Fashion Week and although
:22:29. > :22:32.the clovers are new, conversations are not. This year, there is a push
:22:33. > :22:39.for designers to make tee-macro different sizes of clothes and show
:22:40. > :22:43.them both on the catwalk. The lights, the glamour, the cheekbones.
