Hello, I'm Ros Atkins, this is Outside Source. | :00:16. | :00:17. | |
Let's look through some of the main stories here in the BBC Newsroom. | :00:18. | :00:20. | |
We're just under 5 hours from the first debate featuring | :00:21. | :00:22. | |
the polls are close, so there's a lot at stake. | :00:23. | :00:28. | |
A convention looking at the trade in endangered animals | :00:29. | :00:30. | |
The case of the African Pangolin has been highlighted - | :00:31. | :00:35. | |
it's the most trafficked mammal in the world. | :00:36. | :00:47. | |
The UN 's those conditions in Aleppo have reached new levels of horror. | :00:48. | :00:53. | |
And Sir David Brailsford has been taking questions from the BBC | :00:54. | :00:56. | |
on Sir Bradley Wiggins' use of steroid injections for asthma. | :00:57. | :01:18. | |
There is a big gathering in South Africa looking | :01:19. | :01:21. | |
at the protection of the world's most endangered species. | :01:22. | :01:25. | |
To give it its full name this is The Convention | :01:26. | :01:28. | |
on International Trade in Endangered Species, | :01:29. | :01:31. | |
It's in Johannesburg, features representatives from more | :01:32. | :01:34. | |
than 180 countries - and lasts 10 days. | :01:35. | :01:36. | |
Elephants, lions, devil rays, rock geckos and others | :01:37. | :01:38. | |
It's the most trafficked mammal in the world, | :01:39. | :01:48. | |
and you probably don't even know its name. | :01:49. | :01:50. | |
Pangolins are usually nocturnal and very shy. | :01:51. | :01:53. | |
They only eat ants and termites, and the demand for their scales | :01:54. | :01:55. | |
for traditional medicine is driving them towards extinction. | :01:56. | :02:00. | |
Pangolin is the most endearing, mystical, unbelievable species | :02:01. | :02:03. | |
of animal you will ever encounter in your life. | :02:04. | :02:07. | |
Asians, they use these scales for a multiple range of purposes, | :02:08. | :02:09. | |
from cancer to swelling to arthritis. | :02:10. | :02:14. | |
They use the pangolin body, they put it in wine and they pickle the body. | :02:15. | :02:18. | |
There's a whole array of different things. | :02:19. | :02:22. | |
And so it's hoped the Convention on International Trade | :02:23. | :02:25. | |
in Endangered Species, or CITES, will step | :02:26. | :02:26. | |
Elephants are also being hit incredibly hard | :02:27. | :02:34. | |
And, again, Asia is the main market for their ivory. | :02:35. | :02:41. | |
30% of Africa's elephants have been lost in seven years. | :02:42. | :02:44. | |
But conservationists are divided about what to do. | :02:45. | :02:51. | |
Zimbabwe and Namibia want to sell their stores of ivory | :02:52. | :02:55. | |
to raise money for conservation, but their proposal is unlikely | :02:56. | :02:58. | |
Kenya made its position very clear earlier this year, when it set more | :02:59. | :03:06. | |
than 100 tons of ivory alight, saying it's worth nothing | :03:07. | :03:10. | |
This is all that's left now of the ivory that was burnt. | :03:11. | :03:17. | |
But it is a technique Kenya has used before. | :03:18. | :03:21. | |
This much smaller pile dates back to 1989, | :03:22. | :03:23. | |
It's the first time this was done and it sends a very strong signal | :03:24. | :03:31. | |
Sales of ivory from some of our southern African brothers has | :03:32. | :03:35. | |
resulted in an increased demand for ivory across-the-board. | :03:36. | :03:40. | |
Their horns are worth more than twice their weight in gold | :03:41. | :03:46. | |
Swaziland's proposal to open up sales is unlikely to pass. | :03:47. | :03:52. | |
Most countries believe the best way to save the animals is stop trade | :03:53. | :03:55. | |
and destroy the market in countries like China and Vietnam. | :03:56. | :03:59. | |
It is not just about protecting African wildlife, of course. | :04:00. | :04:03. | |
Over the next ten days, trees, plants, reptiles and sea creatures | :04:04. | :04:06. | |
from across the world will all be discussed, and more | :04:07. | :04:09. | |
That report is online and on the BBC News website and app. | :04:10. | :04:29. | |
You may have been following the furore around Sir Bradley Wiggins - | :04:30. | :04:32. | |
and asthma medication he took ahead of his Tour de France | :04:33. | :04:35. | |
He had permission to have the injection - | :04:36. | :04:44. | |
in fact he had one on two other occasions as well. | :04:45. | :04:47. | |
The question is whether he did so to get a performance advantage. | :04:48. | :04:52. | |
He says no - but we've all wanted to hear from the head | :04:53. | :04:55. | |
of the Team Sky cycling team who Wiggins raced for. | :04:56. | :04:59. | |
Now we have - here's Sir David Brailsford with | :05:00. | :05:01. | |
They are two of sport's most successful figures. | :05:02. | :05:08. | |
Sir Dave Brailsford, mastermind of Britain's cycling revolution, | :05:09. | :05:11. | |
and Sir Bradley Wiggins, the country's most decorated | :05:12. | :05:14. | |
Olympian, but suddenly both find their reputations on the line. | :05:15. | :05:18. | |
Two weeks ago Russian hackers revealed Wiggins' use | :05:19. | :05:22. | |
of steroid injections in the build-up to big races. | :05:23. | :05:25. | |
The drugs were permitted under TUEs, or therapeutic use exemptions, | :05:26. | :05:29. | |
allowing banned treatments for a valid medical reason. | :05:30. | :05:33. | |
Wiggins defended himself yesterday, insisting he took | :05:34. | :05:36. | |
the drug for his asthma and today his former boss | :05:37. | :05:39. | |
at Team Sky finally broke his silence, Brailsford telling me | :05:40. | :05:41. | |
Do you not think, on reflection, that was a mistake? | :05:42. | :05:49. | |
No, I don't think it was a mistake because if you have an expert | :05:50. | :05:52. | |
telling you it's right, the right medication to take | :05:53. | :05:54. | |
and it is recommended by an expert and a doctor | :05:55. | :05:57. | |
and the process, and the anti-doping authorities | :05:58. | :05:58. | |
also agree with that, I think, I don't see why at that moment | :05:59. | :06:01. | |
in time I would disagree and say no, I don't agree with all of this. | :06:02. | :06:05. | |
We are not using it to enhance performance, it is for a medical | :06:06. | :06:09. | |
While there is no suggestion Sky or Wiggins broke any rules, | :06:10. | :06:15. | |
experts and cyclists have questioned the use | :06:16. | :06:19. | |
and timings of such a powerful steroid. | :06:20. | :06:22. | |
Others have asked why, if Bradley Wiggins was ill enough | :06:23. | :06:29. | |
to need it before the 2012 Tour de France win, he said | :06:30. | :06:32. | |
he was in good health at that time in his autobiography. | :06:33. | :06:35. | |
With the information that I had at the time, | :06:36. | :06:38. | |
five or six years ago, at that moment in time, | :06:39. | :06:40. | |
with the information that was presented to me | :06:41. | :06:42. | |
and the expert opinion and the whole process, I would make | :06:43. | :06:45. | |
So you don't feel you've crossed that thin blue line | :06:46. | :06:49. | |
which was the cornerstone of the team's foundation? | :06:50. | :06:51. | |
The one mantra - you can ask anyone in this team, | :06:52. | :06:59. | |
we absolutely, absolutely there is no crossing that line. | :07:00. | :07:03. | |
You claim to be whiter than white, but are you in a grey area, perhaps? | :07:04. | :07:07. | |
That's a fair question as there is obviously a debate | :07:08. | :07:09. | |
Team Sky have emphasised their zero tolerance approach to doping | :07:10. | :07:15. | |
and have faced a barrage of criticism, and Brailsford admits | :07:16. | :07:18. | |
they are now rethinking the policies on such medication. | :07:19. | :07:22. | |
Certainly, going forward, I think there is a broader debate | :07:23. | :07:24. | |
within the whole TUE, the authorities and ourselves | :07:25. | :07:28. | |
included, that should any TUE be made public in the future? | :07:29. | :07:37. | |
And I think that's what we should be doing. | :07:38. | :07:39. | |
Certainly, we're looking at it as a policy. | :07:40. | :07:41. | |
Amid unprecedented scrutiny Brailsford will hope that | :07:42. | :07:43. | |
having come out fighting, the pressure on him, | :07:44. | :07:45. | |
his team and Wiggins will finally ease, but the debate over | :07:46. | :07:48. | |
what sports deems ethical and fair will continue. | :07:49. | :07:51. | |
Fifa raised a few eyebrows today. It is shutting the cup forced it | :07:52. | :08:08. | |
started to stop racism. Fifa's Secretary General says | :08:09. | :08:19. | |
it's achieved its goals. The task force came up with strong | :08:20. | :08:28. | |
recommendations and Fifa is acting with those. Olly Foster is that the | :08:29. | :08:34. | |
BBC sports Centre. Fifa is not saying racial discrimination is | :08:35. | :08:44. | |
dealt with as an issue? They are not saying they have completely stamped | :08:45. | :08:47. | |
it out. They say it was put together to work out what the problems were | :08:48. | :08:49. | |
and the new general secretary there, she is not long in the | :08:50. | :09:03. | |
job, she says their work is done and there is now a programme in place | :09:04. | :09:07. | |
with how they look to deal with discrimination going forward, and | :09:08. | :09:10. | |
they will be firm. But a lot of criticism from various antiracism | :09:11. | :09:11. | |
groups and discrimination groups around the globe saying my word, the | :09:12. | :09:15. | |
work has really only just started. It had a troubled existence, that | :09:16. | :09:19. | |
these are task force. Geoffrey Webb was put in charge of it. He was a | :09:20. | :09:27. | |
former Fifa vice president who was caught in the heart of all that | :09:28. | :09:29. | |
corruption scandal involving Sepp Blatter. He was arrested as part of | :09:30. | :09:34. | |
the American investigation. It has not had a great three years since | :09:35. | :09:46. | |
it was formed. Prince Ali bin Hussein from Jordan, a former vice | :09:47. | :09:50. | |
president who was in the running to take over as well, he has said it is | :09:51. | :09:53. | |
ridiculous what they have done, and the reality is within many | :09:54. | :10:01. | |
programmes within Fifa is the task force was never given real support | :10:02. | :10:04. | |
since its conception. The role was more about Fifa's image than | :10:05. | :10:07. | |
tackling the issues. He says it was just a cosmetic exercise. | :10:08. | :10:19. | |
Kick It Out, a British group, they say that discrimination is on the | :10:20. | :10:22. | |
rise, not just within the UK but over 400 incidents reported last | :10:23. | :10:25. | |
year. They say where the World Cup is going next year, Russia, and they | :10:26. | :10:37. | |
have real issues there. There is a real worry about white Fifa have | :10:38. | :10:40. | |
shut down this antiracism task force. Thank you. In a little while | :10:41. | :10:45. | |
on Outside Source, we will turn to another sports | :10:46. | :10:57. | |
story. The sad news that Arnold Palmer has died. He was in his late | :10:58. | :11:01. | |
80s. He was one of the greats of golf in any era. We will look back | :11:02. | :11:05. | |
on his life and hear some of the tributes. | :11:06. | :11:06. | |
The roller coaster accident at Alton Towers last summer, | :11:07. | :11:08. | |
was the fault of the operator Merlin Attractions, | :11:09. | :11:10. | |
Two teenagers had legs amputated following the crash on The Smiler, | :11:11. | :11:14. | |
while several others were seriously injured. | :11:15. | :11:21. | |
Footage of the crash has been released. Since then, a number of | :11:22. | :11:28. | |
safety changes have been made. The ride's operators now face a fine | :11:29. | :11:31. | |
of several million pounds. Police investigating | :11:32. | :11:35. | |
the disappearance of the toddler Ben Needham, who vanished 25 years | :11:36. | :11:36. | |
ago, have begun excavation work at Ben was 21 months old when he was | :11:37. | :11:39. | |
last seen, and officers believe he may have been accidentally | :11:40. | :11:44. | |
run over by a bulldozer Behind blue and white | :11:45. | :11:47. | |
British police tape, a corner of a Greek island | :11:48. | :12:01. | |
is cordoned off. This is the house where Ben Needham | :12:02. | :12:03. | |
was last seen alive. Officers now believe he could have | :12:04. | :12:06. | |
been accidentally run over and buried by a bulldozer | :12:07. | :12:08. | |
here on the day he vanished in 1991. It's got to be said, | :12:09. | :12:11. | |
I'm optimistic that we may find something of significance that's | :12:12. | :12:14. | |
going to assist us in giving The senior officer here is hopeful | :12:15. | :12:16. | |
that this mystery could finally be Every item that we find | :12:17. | :12:21. | |
is going to be meticulously looked at, and made sure | :12:22. | :12:24. | |
that it is either something The earth is going to be lifted, | :12:25. | :12:27. | |
it's going to be gone through in finite detail, | :12:28. | :12:32. | |
just to make sure that we Ben Needham was 21 months | :12:33. | :12:34. | |
old when he vanished in Kos. His family has always believed | :12:35. | :12:39. | |
he was abducted and is still alive. But his family has now been told | :12:40. | :12:45. | |
to prepare for the worst. Specialist officers are expected | :12:46. | :12:48. | |
to dig in this olive grove and an adjoining | :12:49. | :12:51. | |
field for up to 12 days, looking for any trace of the little | :12:52. | :12:55. | |
boy last seen playing outside this Another search here four years ago | :12:56. | :12:59. | |
brought his traumatised mother I will never give up, | :13:00. | :13:06. | |
and we will do whatever it takes to find Ben, | :13:07. | :13:12. | |
and let him know the And if nothing is found here, | :13:13. | :13:15. | |
Ben Needham's family will forever be wondering what happened | :13:16. | :13:26. | |
to their little boy. This is Outside Source live | :13:27. | :13:39. | |
from the BBC newsroom. Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump | :13:40. | :13:43. | |
are making final preparations for the first of three US | :13:44. | :13:45. | |
Presidential election debates - We knew it would calm. Russia has | :13:46. | :14:10. | |
been reacting angrily to claims they have been committing war crimes in | :14:11. | :14:12. | |
Syria. After five years of conflict, you | :14:13. | :14:44. | |
might expect the sick bloodlust against it and people have finally | :14:45. | :14:46. | |
run its course, but this weekend, the regime in Russia have instead | :14:47. | :14:49. | |
plunged to new depths. In short, it is difficult to deny that Russia is | :14:50. | :14:51. | |
partnering with the Syrian regime to carry out war crimes. Russia would | :14:52. | :14:54. | |
have this council live in upside down land, where bombing Ed and | :14:55. | :15:03. | |
supporting a murderous regime is billed as counterterrorism. What | :15:04. | :15:05. | |
Russia is doing is not counterterrorism, it is barbarism. | :15:06. | :15:07. | |
The UK, US and French ambassadors actually ended up walking out | :15:08. | :15:10. | |
This was the Kremlin's response: "the tone and rhetoric used | :15:11. | :15:13. | |
by official representatives from the UK and US is generally | :15:14. | :15:16. | |
unacceptable and it can seriously damage the settlement | :15:17. | :15:18. | |
process and our bilateral relations." | :15:19. | :15:27. | |
They mean the work to deliver a ceasefire which holds in Syria. | :15:28. | :15:33. | |
While the diplomacy plays out - so does the war. | :15:34. | :15:35. | |
Since the ceasefire collapsed last week, at least 128 people have died | :15:36. | :15:38. | |
Better news is that humanitarian aid has finally reached | :15:39. | :15:43. | |
And these towns just outside of Damascus. | :15:44. | :15:51. | |
They hadn't received anything for six months. | :15:52. | :15:58. | |
The BBC's Panorama programme has been following the lives | :15:59. | :16:01. | |
This report from Quentin Somerville contains some of what it's seen. | :16:02. | :16:04. | |
I should say some of you may find those images distressing. | :16:05. | :16:13. | |
Aleppo has never been more overwhelmed. | :16:14. | :16:19. | |
At Al-Quds Hospital, the wounded lie in corridors, | :16:20. | :16:22. | |
there aren't any beds, they are fast running out | :16:23. | :16:24. | |
Four days of relentless Russian and Syrian bombing | :16:25. | :16:29. | |
The bombs are bigger and the air raids more intensive now. | :16:30. | :16:38. | |
61 children were admitted to city hospitals overnight. | :16:39. | :16:42. | |
In one, five died at the weekend because there were no ventilators. | :16:43. | :16:48. | |
The BBC's Panorama has been following Ismail, a rescue worker. | :16:49. | :16:56. | |
The regime dropped two barrel bombs here. | :16:57. | :17:00. | |
Aleppo has had no time to catch its breath, and here there | :17:01. | :17:20. | |
Sometimes, I got feeling that I'm living the last days of my life. | :17:21. | :17:42. | |
Aleppo is burning, without any mercy, killing everything. | :17:43. | :17:48. | |
Strong words are being used to describe what is happening here. | :17:49. | :17:54. | |
But sometimes it's the quietest moments that reflect | :17:55. | :17:57. | |
Mohammed Gennady calls for his son, Hassan. | :17:58. | :18:18. | |
The family moved here five years ago. | :18:19. | :18:37. | |
They never thought it would end like this. | :18:38. | :18:40. | |
But then who could have predicted Aleppo's horrors? | :18:41. | :18:42. | |
Quentin Somerville, BBC News, Beirut. | :18:43. | :18:53. | |
Viewers in the UK can see the full Panorama program on the BBC iPlayer. | :18:54. | :18:57. | |
If you're in Wales it'll be on BBC One at 10.40 pm tonight. | :18:58. | :19:00. | |
If you're outside the UK - Aleppo: Life Under Siege will be | :19:01. | :19:03. | |
on BBC World News this Saturday at 9:30 GMT. | :19:04. | :19:08. | |
Francois Hollande has been in Calais today to address the ongoing issue | :19:09. | :19:11. | |
TRANSLATION: I am determined to see the British authorities play their | :19:12. | :19:25. | |
part in the humanitarian effort France is undertaking | :19:26. | :19:28. | |
here and will continue to undertake in the future. | :19:29. | :19:35. | |
Just because the United Kingdom has taken a sovereign decision | :19:36. | :19:38. | |
doesn't mean the United Kingdom is relieved of its | :19:39. | :19:40. | |
In Calais there is the migrant camp, known as the Jungle. | :19:41. | :19:52. | |
Around 10,000 people live there - and many hope | :19:53. | :19:54. | |
to reach the UK illegally by hiding in lorries. | :19:55. | :20:04. | |
President Hollande wants this camp gone by the end of the year. Some | :20:05. | :20:09. | |
people have raised their eyebrows at that statement because there is a | :20:10. | :20:25. | |
presidential election at the end of the year. There is no doubt he is | :20:26. | :20:28. | |
not performing well in the polls. He has to show he is addressing the big | :20:29. | :20:31. | |
issues in France, one of those is the migrant crisis. | :20:32. | :20:33. | |
Tributes have been pouring in all day for Arnold Palmer. | :20:34. | :20:36. | |
He was one of the greats of golf - and in many ways | :20:37. | :20:40. | |
Katie Gornall looks back on his life. | :20:41. | :20:59. | |
Arnold Palmer, golfer, aviator, man of many parts. | :21:00. | :21:05. | |
They said he could so capture the public, | :21:06. | :21:07. | |
Arnold Palmer, the champion golfer whose charisma drew a legion of fans | :21:08. | :21:12. | |
He won his first Major, the Masters, in 1958, and two years later, | :21:13. | :21:18. | |
the television cameras followed. | :21:19. | :21:19. | |
Golf had found its star of the screen. | :21:20. | :21:23. | |
He was five foot ten but very much like a middleweight boxer, | :21:24. | :21:27. | |
He used to grip the club and thump it. | :21:28. | :21:32. | |
he was not a flashing rapier, it was wham, crash, bang, wallop. | :21:33. | :21:38. | |
And he caught the imagination of people. | :21:39. | :21:41. | |
His nickname was "The King", and it was fitting. | :21:42. | :21:44. | |
From 58 through to 1964, he won seven major titles. | :21:45. | :21:48. | |
Including four Masters and two Open Championships. | :21:49. | :21:55. | |
His success stretched beyond the fairways. | :21:56. | :22:00. | |
Adverts and endorsements made Palmer golf's first millionaire, and those | :22:01. | :22:04. | |
who followed in his footsteps say they would never be competing | :22:05. | :22:07. | |
When golf needed him in the 60s and 70s, he brought golf | :22:08. | :22:13. | |
to the masses, and he leaves a legacy that no one | :22:14. | :22:16. | |
else in any other sport, I think, can leave. | :22:17. | :22:20. | |
It was not just golfers that Palmer influenced. | :22:21. | :22:22. | |
Today, President Obama paid his own tribute to a man | :22:23. | :22:24. | |
whose appeal endured, even when the victories dried up. | :22:25. | :22:28. | |
This, his final US Open appearance in 1994. | :22:29. | :22:35. | |
I suppose the most important thing... | :22:36. | :22:50. | |
..is the fact that it has been as good as it has been to me. | :22:51. | :22:56. | |
There have been better golfers than Palmer, | :22:57. | :22:58. | |
but there may never be one more popular, or one who loved | :22:59. | :23:01. | |
Next, we have a report on traditional health treatments. Some | :23:02. | :23:22. | |
scientists would question the benefits of ancient medicine. One | :23:23. | :23:33. | |
Korean practitioner has run into trouble with regulation in South | :23:34. | :23:36. | |
Korea. The BBC's Steve Evans went to meet him. | :23:37. | :23:48. | |
This man is 100 and years -- 101 years old. The official body in | :23:49. | :23:58. | |
Korea said he did not have the right qualifications. He learned the | :23:59. | :24:08. | |
skills so many years ago he did not pass the exams. Now a court has | :24:09. | :24:11. | |
ruled he can teach. TRANSLATION: The ruling is important to me because | :24:12. | :24:21. | |
now I can pass on my knowledge. As long as humanity has existed, these | :24:22. | :24:23. | |
ancient skills have gone from generation to generation. Mr Kim, | :24:24. | :24:35. | |
operates from these new buildings. He says celebrities and political | :24:36. | :24:37. | |
leaders have sought his treatment, whether it is acupuncture with | :24:38. | :24:40. | |
needles or by burning herbs on the body. All over this complex there | :24:41. | :24:48. | |
are statues like this gentleman and on the statues are dots. These | :24:49. | :24:53. | |
points are where, under an East Asian theory of medicine, you can | :24:54. | :25:03. | |
burn particular herbs, and that creates blood. The American Cancer | :25:04. | :25:10. | |
Society says there is absolutely no evidence that it will cure cancer or | :25:11. | :25:12. | |
any other illness. This man had an enlarged prostate | :25:13. | :25:25. | |
and was told by conventional doctors that he needed surgery. He said no | :25:26. | :25:29. | |
and is now having herbs burnt on his body. He says his symptoms have | :25:30. | :25:38. | |
eased. The overwhelming view of scientists is that this is no | :25:39. | :25:43. | |
substitute for proven, scientific medicine as a cure for serious | :25:44. | :25:51. | |
illness. We have heard from South Korea, | :25:52. | :26:01. | |
India, the UK, the US and South Africa. Thank you for watching. We | :26:02. | :26:04. | |
will be back to do the same thing tomorrow. Bye-bye. | :26:05. | :26:09. |
