:00:11. > :00:15.Welcome to Outside Source. Welcome to the BBC News room. We begin in

:00:16. > :00:20.Haiti. Hundreds of thousands of people have been evacuated as a

:00:21. > :00:24.result of hurricane Matthew. I've been speaking to UNICEF in

:00:25. > :00:32.Port-au-Prince. This was earlier at a university in

:00:33. > :00:40.Johannesburg. There were protests over the rising costs of fees.

:00:41. > :00:42.The IMF is saying of the world's economies are suffering because of

:00:43. > :00:46.political uncertainty. For one day, and one day only, you

:00:47. > :00:50.suspect, the two vice-president shall candidates, the running mates

:00:51. > :00:55.of Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump are centre stage. They'll debate

:00:56. > :01:03.live on TV later. We assess their credentials. Any questions you have

:01:04. > :01:22.for Katty Kay, use hashtag BBC OS. Let's start by updating you on

:01:23. > :01:27.hurricane Matthew. It's making its way to cubament it is already -- it

:01:28. > :01:31.has brought torrential rain and high winds to western Haiti. There are of

:01:32. > :01:37.course, concerns about flash floods and land slides. The BBC's Nick

:01:38. > :01:42.Bryant is just outside of the capital, Port-au-Prince. This is his

:01:43. > :01:46.latest report. From the early hours of this morning

:01:47. > :02:01.hurricane Matthew has been buffeting this country. Winds of up to 140mph.

:02:02. > :02:05.The fear is it will dump rainfall of three feet. There is already

:02:06. > :02:12.flooding. There is worry about land slides in this mountainous area that

:02:13. > :02:16.is denuded of trees. There's flash flooding happening already. Haiti

:02:17. > :02:19.has so many problems already. It is suffering still from the earthquake

:02:20. > :02:24.that hit it in 2010, which killed more tan 200,000 people. It is

:02:25. > :02:28.suffering from a cholera outbreak as well. Public health officials fear

:02:29. > :02:35.this will exacerbate that particular crisis. Conditions here are

:02:36. > :02:39.atrocious. To step outside is to be drenched within a matter of seconds.

:02:40. > :02:46.A couple of statistics on this storm. It's being reported that some

:02:47. > :02:50.of the winds hit 145mph. That's around 170 kilometres per hour. This

:02:51. > :02:54.is the first Category Four storm to hit Haiti since 1964. That gives you

:02:55. > :02:58.an idea of the scale of the problem. UNICEF is one of the agencies

:02:59. > :03:04.working to help those affected in Haiti. We got through to one of

:03:05. > :03:16.The situation is really bad in the south. And in the far west of Haiti,

:03:17. > :03:25.where many areas seem to be flooded, where people have lost their homes,

:03:26. > :03:32.where homes have lost their roofs. And where trees are gone, so from

:03:33. > :03:39.the little information that slowly coming in, there seems to be massive

:03:40. > :03:47.damage to infrastructure and to the landscape overall. The government

:03:48. > :03:51.has set up emergency shelter all over the country. And several

:03:52. > :03:56.thousand people have been registered there. The problem is that many of

:03:57. > :04:02.them didn't want to leave their homes because they were afraid that

:04:03. > :04:07.they will lose everything. It's only over the past hours that we have

:04:08. > :04:13.received information that they are now actually pouring into the

:04:14. > :04:17.centres. As you may be aware just behind the outside source screen is

:04:18. > :04:23.the BBC weather team. Matt Taylor's been explaining to me where this

:04:24. > :04:29.hurricane goes next. It's now over open waters. It's in the water

:04:30. > :04:33.between Haiti and also Cuba. Its land track was fairly short. The

:04:34. > :04:37.storm retains a lot of its strength. It's over warm waters. It remains

:04:38. > :04:41.ape Category Four storm through Cuba tonight. Still with the

:04:42. > :04:46.life-threatening rainfall amounts. The rain will take a long time

:04:47. > :04:50.before it eases off in Haiti. The track, it heads to Eastern Cuba

:04:51. > :04:54.tonight. Huge disruption expected there. Large waves, damaging storm

:04:55. > :04:58.surges too. And it could remain a Category Four storm as it heads

:04:59. > :05:02.across the Bahamas. We have to watch that for the end of the week. It

:05:03. > :05:06.could make landfall in Florida. Let's switch from Haiti to South

:05:07. > :05:11.Africa. There have been violent clashes between students and police,

:05:12. > :05:15.many of them have been taking place at the university in Johannesburg.

:05:16. > :05:18.The protesters believe the university fees are too high and

:05:19. > :05:22.this is preventing some black students from attending. Let me show

:05:23. > :05:28.you a couple of videos taken by people who were there as this was

:05:29. > :05:42.playing out. The first was filmed by a journalism student. No, no. That's

:05:43. > :05:46.a policeman throwing a stun grenade. This second video shows protesters

:05:47. > :06:03.marching. You'll see the moment when police intervene.

:06:04. > :06:10.Just in the background of that video, you can see some of the older

:06:11. > :06:13.buildings of the university. The university has been communicating

:06:14. > :06:17.all the time online, putting its side of the story. It says, "We do

:06:18. > :06:20.not have the resources to provide free education now. But we're

:06:21. > :06:27.willing to work with students to make it happen. " The BBC's

:06:28. > :06:33.correspondent has been at the university today. This is what he

:06:34. > :06:38.recorded. What you have here is a stand-off between the police, who

:06:39. > :06:43.are armed with rubber bullets, tear gas and they've already fired them,

:06:44. > :06:46.including stun grenades to try and disperse that crowd of students. The

:06:47. > :06:50.rule today is that students should not be damage nerg groups of no more

:06:51. > :06:56.than 15. But look at that crowd there. Today, the decision for the

:06:57. > :07:01.university is whether the students should continue to finish off their

:07:02. > :07:07.studies for 2016 or close indefinitely and lose the year. The

:07:08. > :07:09.students were here peacefully. The police started dispersing people

:07:10. > :07:12.with stun grenades and chasing people down and arresting them. In

:07:13. > :07:18.the morning they arrested about five students. The students are in a

:07:19. > :07:23.retaliation mood right now. The government is actually shifting

:07:24. > :07:27.blame to the university managers as opposed to taking responsibility.

:07:28. > :07:52.They have been promising free education. Students need...

:07:53. > :08:00.The students on this side are singing and chanting old

:08:01. > :08:04.antiapartheid songs. They are demanding that there should be no

:08:05. > :08:09.fees at all for anyone attending university. The government, on the

:08:10. > :08:15.other side, it says it does not have enough money to do that. If it

:08:16. > :08:19.followed the demands of the students, other areas like health

:08:20. > :08:25.and education in primary schools and high schools would suffer. Thanks to

:08:26. > :08:29.Milton for that. Let's turn to one element of the migrant crisis, which

:08:30. > :08:34.we've discussed a number of times, it's the issue of which countries

:08:35. > :08:38.take the most refugees. This has long been a potent political

:08:39. > :08:43.argument. Amnesty international has weighed in today. It's accusing the

:08:44. > :08:46.world's richest nations of shirking their responsibility. Let's give you

:08:47. > :08:51.figures on this. Most of it relates to the conflict in Syria. If for

:08:52. > :08:57.instance you look at Jordan, which is just next door, it's taken in

:08:58. > :09:05.over 650,000 Syrian refugees, Turkey to the north, has taken in 140,000

:09:06. > :09:14.just this year. By comparison, the UK has accepted about 8,000 Syrian

:09:15. > :09:20.refugees since 2011 and America has taken in around 12,000. According to

:09:21. > :09:26.the UN, no Syrian refugees have been resettled by China, Russia or any

:09:27. > :09:30.Gulf states. Here's what amnesty international makes of that. Leaders

:09:31. > :09:35.have failed us. We now need to have a Plan B. Our Plan B essentially is

:09:36. > :09:39.to say that there has to be a new system of global responsibility

:09:40. > :09:43.sharing we. Cannot expect 30 countries to - there's 200 countries

:09:44. > :09:46.in the world, you cannot expect 30 countries of which ten of them are

:09:47. > :09:50.bearing more than 50% of the responsibility. If we just share

:09:51. > :09:53.this out, it's 60 to 90 countries share the responsibility, we could

:09:54. > :09:56.be in a very different situation. It's a big problem, but it's a very

:09:57. > :10:00.solvable problem. On the face of it, those figures

:10:01. > :10:04.back up the arguments being made by amnesty international. There are

:10:05. > :10:09.some who say this is more complicate than those figures suggest. This is

:10:10. > :10:13.the response of the US Secretary of State, John Kerry. To some,

:10:14. > :10:18.formulating the right response to refugees is as easy as putting up a

:10:19. > :10:23.green light or a red one, they just think it's simple. In fact, the

:10:24. > :10:26.problem, as you know, has many dimensions, related to legal

:10:27. > :10:30.responsibilities, resources, security, safe transit, human

:10:31. > :10:37.trafficking, gender abuse and the special needs of children.

:10:38. > :10:42.Chancellor Merkel and other European leaders should be commended for

:10:43. > :10:48.trying to cope with this crisis in a humane way that is respectful of the

:10:49. > :10:55.lessons of history. Ultimately, however, the only fully satisfactory

:10:56. > :10:58.solution to the refugee dilemma is to stop the wars, stop the conflicts

:10:59. > :11:03.that drive people from their homes in the first place.

:11:04. > :11:07.Now you may know if you watch on a regular basis I can access not just

:11:08. > :11:10.all the video coming through the BBC Newsroom and the stills, but the

:11:11. > :11:16.copy coming in from BBC journalists and also from other news agencies

:11:17. > :11:20.and other news sources. This is from the AFP news agency saying 22

:11:21. > :11:26.Europe-bound migrants died on Monday in an overloaded wooden boat off the

:11:27. > :11:29.coast of Libya. That's according to an AFP photographer. A story that

:11:30. > :11:33.this happened yesterday, but the details are only now coming in. Of

:11:34. > :11:36.course, unfortunately, this is far from the first time we've seen boats

:11:37. > :11:41.capsizing off the Libyan coast as they head north, normally towards

:11:42. > :11:44.Italy, sometimes towards Greece. When we get more information on

:11:45. > :11:46.that, of course, I'll let you knowment

:11:47. > :11:52.I want to mention that if you want to get in touch with us, you may see

:11:53. > :11:59.this blue strip which is rotating between the BBC OS hashtag, an

:12:00. > :12:03.e-mail address or my user name on social media, whether it's Facebook,

:12:04. > :12:08.Instagram or Twitter. If you have any points you want to make, stories

:12:09. > :12:10.you want us to pick up on, or questions you want answered, I'm

:12:11. > :12:13.surrounded by journalists covering all the most important stories in

:12:14. > :12:16.the world. I'm in a good place to get you some answers.

:12:17. > :12:19.If a few minutes, we're going to talk about two men who perhaps

:12:20. > :12:22.haven't had the coverage they might have expected in the last couple of

:12:23. > :12:25.months. These are the running mates in the US presidential election. For

:12:26. > :12:29.once, Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump will step out of the

:12:30. > :12:40.limelight. These two step into it. Katty Kay will introduce us to these

:12:41. > :12:43.two men in a few minutes. Here in the UK, the Health

:12:44. > :12:47.Secretary, Jeremy Hunt, told the Conservative Party Conference he

:12:48. > :12:51.wanted to make the NHS in England more self-sufficient by ending its

:12:52. > :12:56.reliance on foreign doctors. He confirmed plans to train around 1500

:12:57. > :13:02.more doctors a year from 2018 and to ask them to stay with the Health

:13:03. > :13:07.Service for four years. We said, I said in my speech they do a

:13:08. > :13:13.brilliant job. We want the EU nationals to stay post Brexit. The

:13:14. > :13:19.NHS would fall over without foreign doctors. But what we want to see

:13:20. > :13:21.over a period of time is the proportion of overseas doctors

:13:22. > :13:25.reducing as we train up more people at home and that is because we are

:13:26. > :13:29.the fifth largest economy in the world. We should be frankly training

:13:30. > :13:33.all the doctors that we need and there is a worldwide shortage of

:13:34. > :13:37.doctors, so we won't be able to rely on getting the doctors we need from

:13:38. > :13:48.overseas in the future in the way we have in the past.

:13:49. > :13:54.Welcome back to Outside Source. We're live in the BBC Newsroom. The

:13:55. > :13:57.lead story is from hate why. Wind, rain and a massive storm surge has

:13:58. > :14:00.caused flooding in coastal towns. This is the biggest hurricane in

:14:01. > :14:06.almost a decade to pass over the country. Let's bring you the other

:14:07. > :14:11.main stories from BBC World Service. First of all, our English radio

:14:12. > :14:14.output, BBC World Service, has been reported that three British-born

:14:15. > :14:17.scientists have won the Nobel Prize in physics. They discovered what the

:14:18. > :14:23.jury called new and exotic states of matter. The work could result in

:14:24. > :14:29.improved materials for electronics. BBC Turkish is reported that Turkey

:14:30. > :14:34.has suspended almost 13,000 police officers for their alleged links

:14:35. > :14:36.with the US based Muslim cleric, accused of orchestrated a coup

:14:37. > :14:40.attempt in July, something he denies. Tens of thousands of people

:14:41. > :14:44.have either been dismissed or suspended from government jobs since

:14:45. > :14:50.that coup attempt. A Nigerian actress has apologised to

:14:51. > :14:54.those she upset for by hugging and cuddling a pop star in a music

:14:55. > :15:00.video. This has been condemned as immoral. She was even banned by the

:15:01. > :15:04.film industry in Nigeria, popular in the north of the country, where

:15:05. > :15:10.affectionate public contact between men and women is disapproved of.

:15:11. > :15:15.Now here's some food for thought from the International Monetary

:15:16. > :15:21.Fund, it says politics now presents the biggest risk to advanced

:15:22. > :15:24.economies. The IMF's an organisation designed to promote financial

:15:25. > :15:27.stability around the world. Today it lowered its growth forecast. Here's

:15:28. > :15:36.one of its feeds online telling us growth will be weak for this year at

:15:37. > :15:41.3. 3.1%. Next year 3. 4%. It says things like Brexit, also uncertainty

:15:42. > :15:46.around the US presidential elections and rising protectionism are all

:15:47. > :15:52.factors in this weak growth. In the words of the IMF's chief economist,

:15:53. > :15:56."The world economy has moved sideways." We asked Andrew Walker to

:15:57. > :16:07.give us more detail to go with that statement. It calls the fraying of

:16:08. > :16:11.the consensus in favour of international economic, which is

:16:12. > :16:16.driving economic reform since the Second World War. They look at the

:16:17. > :16:18.anti-trade agreement rhetoric that's coming up in the United States

:16:19. > :16:23.presidential election. Donald Trump is the most vocal component of --

:16:24. > :16:27.exponent of this, the Brexit vote, yes, although it must be said that

:16:28. > :16:33.wasn't, didn't appear to be driven mainly by trade concerns. There are

:16:34. > :16:37.a lot of other issues. Trade was perhaps relatively a side issue in

:16:38. > :16:41.that. There's been a lot of, in Britain and other parts of Europe, a

:16:42. > :16:48.bit of a backlash against international trade negotiations

:16:49. > :16:53.with the United States. So the concern is that there might be a set

:16:54. > :16:56.back to international trade and the IMF is worried that if that were to

:16:57. > :17:01.be the case it would make it a lot harder for global growth to get

:17:02. > :17:04.going and the fact they think that global growth has been so

:17:05. > :17:07.indifferent since the aftermath of the financial crisis is one of the

:17:08. > :17:12.reasons why these political forces have been gathering.

:17:13. > :17:17.Let's speak to Michelle Fleury in Washington. That's where the IMF is.

:17:18. > :17:24.If the world economy's gone side ways so far, is the IMF confident we

:17:25. > :17:28.will start moving forwards? That is the big concern. You heard Andrew

:17:29. > :17:33.talking about this fraying consensus, a sense of growing

:17:34. > :17:37.anti-trade sentiment that we've seen, this rise in protectionism,

:17:38. > :17:41.something that the IMF and those behind me are very concerned about.

:17:42. > :17:45.When I was speaking to the fund's chief economist earlier, he talked

:17:46. > :17:50.not just about trade, but also the sense that many people feel that

:17:51. > :17:57.globalisation has left them behind, that more needs to be done to try

:17:58. > :18:00.and address that economic harm. The issue of inequality, saying that

:18:01. > :18:05.actually, as a result of that, this all poses a threat to global

:18:06. > :18:11.prosperity and it's the politics of it all that's really making the task

:18:12. > :18:16.so difficult. The solutions they suggest involve more action by

:18:17. > :18:19.Central Bank, more support from Central Banks, more action by

:18:20. > :18:22.governments, fiscal policies, but in the current climate that can prove

:18:23. > :18:27.quite difficult. And the other thing is policies in the meantime to try

:18:28. > :18:30.and soften the blow to those who've suffered from things like income

:18:31. > :18:33.inequality and who've lost out because of the effects of

:18:34. > :18:37.globalisation. There may be some people who think it's ironic for the

:18:38. > :18:42.IMF to point out politics and political uncertainty being a

:18:43. > :18:46.problem, when it is political itself. Can we say it is objective?

:18:47. > :18:53.Or does it take sides in certain political debates? Well, I think it

:18:54. > :18:57.tries to, if you like, practice whatever is the main economic

:18:58. > :19:03.orthodoxy of the day. But when you start talking or giving advice to

:19:04. > :19:06.specific countries, that can quickly become political, certainly in those

:19:07. > :19:11.countries. If you think back to the financial crisis, when it came to

:19:12. > :19:15.what bailouts were needed and how the countries should proceed with

:19:16. > :19:20.the bail out of Greece, or when it comes to Brexit, the IMF is

:19:21. > :19:23.disagreeing with the UK Government when it comes to the idea that

:19:24. > :19:29.greater immigration controls do not necessarily exclude a more open

:19:30. > :19:34.put to him, they came back and said put to him, they came back and said

:19:35. > :19:37.look, this can limit free movement of people and that can harm growth

:19:38. > :19:41.going forward. That the UK has benefitted from that kind of freedom

:19:42. > :19:45.of movement, that has helped boost growth in the country. That's what

:19:46. > :19:49.it talks about when it warns of the dangers of rising protectionism.

:19:50. > :19:54.Thank you for explaining that to us. Michelle live with us from the IMF.

:19:55. > :19:59.Let's talk about Google. It is stepping up the battle against

:20:00. > :20:03.rivals like Apple. It's unveiled its own line of smartphones. They're

:20:04. > :20:08.called pixel. The new devices represent a big push by gooing toll

:20:09. > :20:12.make its own hard -- Google to make its own hardware. (

:20:13. > :20:16.its own hardware. Before this event, Google promise

:20:17. > :20:20.today was going to be their biggest product launch ever. They showed us

:20:21. > :20:27.all the things you see down here. The one I'm most interested in is

:20:28. > :20:31.Google's new assistant, they're calling it Google home. We designed

:20:32. > :20:34.it to fit in your home and be beautiful anywhere in your home.

:20:35. > :20:38.First we made it white and we made it have no buttons visible at all.

:20:39. > :20:44.So it's really pour like a candle or a vase or something you would have

:20:45. > :20:52.out on a cable in your home. OK Google, play the secret life of pets

:20:53. > :20:56.4 K trailer on living room TV. This is actually incredibly difficult.

:20:57. > :21:00.This is actually using our natural language processing to understand

:21:01. > :21:05.what I say. It's using our machine learning to understand my intent,

:21:06. > :21:09.then it's looking at a knowledge graph for something that matches

:21:10. > :21:15.that. Then it's going to YouTube to find that streaming video and it's

:21:16. > :21:19.saying, oh, what device do I stream it to, this here in the same room.

:21:20. > :21:22.Some people are quite unnerved by having a device like this in the

:21:23. > :21:25.home, particularly when it's associated with Google. We know the

:21:26. > :21:30.company knows so much about us, more than most other companies out there.

:21:31. > :21:35.This is just another way to get the company knowing more about us to

:21:36. > :21:38.sell more advertising isn't it? Google's super committed to privacy.

:21:39. > :21:43.This is a hot issue for me. I really, really care that this

:21:44. > :21:48.respects people's privacy and only allows access to the information you

:21:49. > :21:54.give it access. To the way this is built is it is listening for a hot

:21:55. > :21:59.word and it only does speech recognition once it recognises that

:22:00. > :22:03.hot word. If it doesn't recognise a hot word, anything that is recorded

:22:04. > :22:08.is only stored locally and then discarded.

:22:09. > :22:11.You can see that report online if you want to share it with somebody

:22:12. > :22:16.else. Let's talk about the relationship between India and

:22:17. > :22:19.China, because India has overtaken China to become the fastest growing

:22:20. > :22:26.major economy in the world. Trade is playing a huge role in that economic

:22:27. > :22:33.development and at the heart of that is the major international trade in

:22:34. > :22:38.cars. We've been to just to the south of India to look into this

:22:39. > :22:42.issue. This woman lives with her mother in

:22:43. > :22:47.hay small town near Chennai. She grew up in a village and her father

:22:48. > :22:52.was a farmer. After he died, it was up to her to put food on the table.

:22:53. > :23:01.By night, she helps out in the kitchen. But by day, she's a

:23:02. > :23:04.technician at a car factory. She leads a small team here and can't

:23:05. > :23:08.imagine a life without this job. TRANSLATION: I would have had to

:23:09. > :23:12.work on the farm. We would have had just enough money for our day-to-day

:23:13. > :23:16.lives. Before I started this job, because we were poor, no-one gave us

:23:17. > :23:20.any respect. Now, people say she's working in a big company and making

:23:21. > :23:26.money. In fact, a lot of people ask me for jobs for their children too.

:23:27. > :23:32.Thousands of people are employed at this plant. Each salary earned helps

:23:33. > :23:38.keep a home running. Hundreds of cars are made here every day.

:23:39. > :23:43.They're sold across India and nearly half of them are exported. This car

:23:44. > :23:47.is being loaded onto a lorry from where it will be taken to the

:23:48. > :23:52.Chennai port nearby on India's Eastern coast to be sold overseas.

:23:53. > :23:56.Cars that are made here are sent to more than 100 countries and the West

:23:57. > :24:01.is a big market. So a lot of the jobs in the factory depend on

:24:02. > :24:06.exports. Like this car maker, several other foreign brands have

:24:07. > :24:11.set up shops in Chennai. There are challenges. Inadequate

:24:12. > :24:16.infrastructure and India's famed bureaucracy, but there are big

:24:17. > :24:20.advantages too. India is a cost competitive country. That means

:24:21. > :24:24.labour is relatively cheap compared to other countries and it also means

:24:25. > :24:29.that we can get parts relatively cheap in. Other words, we can make

:24:30. > :24:33.cars here, the total delivered cost of the vehicles more competitively

:24:34. > :24:41.than western Europe, North America or Japan. If more factories open in

:24:42. > :24:45.India, and it sells more to the world, the faster its economy will

:24:46. > :24:51.grow. For many of these workers, it could be a chance to grow too, from

:24:52. > :24:59.being the makers of cars to perhaps, someday, becoming buyers.

:25:00. > :25:05.You're welcome to send in questions and points about the stories we're

:25:06. > :25:09.covering. A couple on the vice-president shall debate. Katty

:25:10. > :25:13.Kay will be live in five minutes. Use our hashtag, BBC OS. You will

:25:14. > :25:20.see the contacts on the blue strip in front of me. Use the hash tags,

:25:21. > :25:26.or e-mail us. Also we were talking about refugees just now. Oliver in

:25:27. > :25:31.Lebanon says, "What about the millions being taken in, refugees

:25:32. > :25:35.being taken in from Syria into Lebanon? I wasn't trying to show

:25:36. > :25:40.every country. You're right, estimates of 1. 5 million are

:25:41. > :25:45.accurate for the number of refugees taken in by Lebanon. I just

:25:46. > :25:49.mentioned Turkey and Jordan as two examples. In the next hour, we'll

:25:50. > :25:52.talk about this VP debate. We're going to be talking about another

:25:53. > :25:54.development in the tension between Russia and the US over what's

:25:55. > :26:09.happening in Aleppo. Very good evening to you. Two

:26:10. > :26:16.tropical sigh clones to talk about today. First of all, hurricane
