Welcome to Outside Source. This is our lead story. Donald Trump has

been furiously to eating today, saying it's so nice that the

shackles have been taken off. That week is aimed at the Republicans,

the party he represents. This election campaign is getting

stranger and stranger. Katty Kay will be live from Washington in a

moment. We will also hear from a journalist who has been to the areas

in Haiti worst affected by hurricane Matthew. The president is now

warning that disease and famine they follow. Samsung's shares have

plunged. The Galaxy Note 7 smartphone is being scrapped.

Vladimir Putin has pulled the plug on meeting Francois Hollande. Again,

no surprise. France is suggesting that Russia may have committed war

crimes in Aleppo. We will show the latest pictures from the city. And a

few questions -- if you have questions on any of the stories we

are covering, I am surrounded by people who know as much as anyone

else about the big stories today. You can tweet or get me on social

media and we have an e-mail address as well.

The US presidential election is only weeks ago and we now have this

unbelievable situation where the Republican Party and its own nominee

are openly fighting each other. In the red corner, we have Paul Ryan,

the most senior elected Republican. He says he will no longer campaign

for Donald Trump. In the other red corner is Mr Trump himself, a man

armed with a Twitter account, and he is not afraid to use it. He has been

tweeting furiously, starting by saying:

the part about winning the second debate is not in any way true, by

the way. Then he widened his target and said...

Some fighting talk. Last but not least, he took on Senator John

McCain, one of the most revered figures in the Republican Party, and

called him foul mouthed, which may be a case of the pot calling the

kettle back. Let's bring in Katty Kay in Washington, DC. Dear me, I am

losing track of this. How did we get here? Well, we ought to have a

picture at this stage, four weeks before Americans go to the polls, of

Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton at the start of your programme. But

actually, we have Donald Trump and his own party. This is a crazy way

for Donald Trump to be conducting this campaign. There is not long to

go. Americans are making up their minds, and he is openly taking on

the Republican Party establishment. All of this happened because Paul

Ryan, the most senior elected Republican in America, said over the

weekend that he was going to stop campaigning for Donald Trump and

concentrate on trying to save the House of Representatives for the

Republican Party. All of this in the light of that grotesque, lewd video

tape of Donald Trump speaking about women that emerged last Friday. You

have had a flood of Republicans saying, we don't like what he said,

condemning their nominee. One in ten elected members say there should be

somebody else at the top of the ticket. I have never seen anything

like this. I have never seen a Republican candidate disavowed by

their party like this, and I have never seen a candidate take on their

own party with the kind of language that Donald Trump has been using in

his feed. Perhaps there is a strategy here that could work

whereby Donald Trump says to the American people, they are all the

establishment. Both parties. Come with me and we will do things

differently. Well, one of the tweets that he stormed out earlier said "It

is great to be unshackled. I can conduct this fight the way I want

to". The subtext is, I can take on the establishment and that is why

you like me. It does have an appeal. It is certainly what the base of his

supporters have always liked about Donald Trump. They don't care

whether he is up-to-date on the latest policy issues. They haven't

chosen him because they think he is a perfectly moral candidate, or even

a perfectly religious candidate. They have chosen him because there

is an antiestablishment mood in America, just as there is in the UK

and Europe at the moment, and they think he will do things differently

and he is not part of the establishment. He is not beholden to

it or funded by it. He is funding himself, so he will conduct politics

in their interests. The problem with that is that the people that believe

that already support him. To win this election, he has to get people

on board who are still wavering. And this strategy doesn't do much to get

them on board. Reading the commentary in the US, it has been

interesting how many commentators are focusing on the state of

American democracy. It feels like we have reached a point where this is a

nexus, with the schisms in the Republican party, the power of

celebrity, combined with the alienation of globalisation and

other things coming together to create something remarkable. Yeah,

we are living in disruptive and disrupting times. Whether you take

technology or the media and certainly politics, a lot is up for

grabs at the moment and there is a lot of questioning over whether the

existing models work for the benefit of the majority of people. It would

be surprising if we come out of this election, after all that has

happened, with the Republican Party looking as it has done for the last

few decades. I think we will have a Republican party that has a lot of

soul-searching to do about how we win elections. The same is also true

of the Democratic party. Bernie Sanders was not a flash in the pan.

The appeal of somebody like Elizabeth Warren on the left of the

Democratic party, speaking to millennials in this country, the

younger voters want something more left of centre. So whilst the war

going on in the Republican Party is most apparent right now, don't be

surprised if we also see up upheaval in the Democratic party after this

election. I am sure we will be talking tomorrow, but I have no idea

what about! That was Katty Kay in Washington, DC. If you want coverage

from BBC News on the US election, you can get it on the BBC news

website and the BBC News at one. We must turn from the US to Haiti now,

because there is a stark warning from the country's interim

president. This is in response to the chaos delivered by hurricane

Matthew. Hurricane Matthew killed around 900 Haitians last week. This

is the World Food Programme on the long term consequences of the storm.

In the north-west of the country, 60 to 90% of the harvests have been

destroyed. The fishing industry in that part of the country is

paralysed because the boats and fishing materials have been swept

away. In the south-west, almost 100% of crops have been destroyed, which

explains why the situation is dire. The whole of Haiti has been affected

by this hurricane, in particular the south-west. These towns were hardest

hit. Let me illustrate that by showing you some satellite pictures.

This is Les Anglais, a picture taken in 2013, but a similar picture taken

in the last few days shows the absolute destruction. This is

another town, a shot taken before the hurricane, and this is after.

Towns have been wiped out. There has also been flooding, which has led to

fears that there could be a cholera outbreak in the country. Philippe

Liberal is a journalist with radio Canada. He has been visiting some of

the worst affected areas in Haiti. We got through to him on his phone

while he was in Port-au-Prince. He told me what he has seen. We went to

a town of 30,000 people. We saw that they had just set up an emergency

centre to treat victims of cholera. They had 30 cases in two days. Three

people had died, and when we walked in, it was packed with people and

there were only two nurses. Much of the attention was centred around

that centre for cholera, and the hospital was empty when we went.

There were people lining up, hoping to see a doctor. One man had been

lining up to see a doctor for three days. Yesterday, we went to a place

for food distribution. We saw this centre help 600 people and most of

them had not had anything to eat or drink since last Monday. The first

people being helped whether one sleeping in refugee camps. If you

want to get help, you need to get a ticket that you obtain at the

refugee camp at night. There are people trying to break in and there

is violence going on. A lot of the little towns are hard-hit. You see

houses in shambles with roofs blown away. And these people see the UN

convoys bringing health and food and shelter to the bigger towns, but

they are not stopping along the way. So people are starting to set up

roadblocks to try to get attention, and the tension is mounting. Next,

we go to Afghanistan. Schone Kahlil is in Kabul.

This shrine is one of the main Shia shrines here in Kabul. Worshippers

have gathered there this evening to commemorate a significant date for

Muslims in general, and for Shia Muslims in particular. This is the

climax day of a month of mourning for the death of the Prophet

Muhammad's grandson. Details have been sketchy coming in about the

attack, but we understand from eyewitnesses that they heard a loud

explosion, followed by gunfire. We also heard reports of a hostage

situation. Police were quick to deploy to the area. They cordoned

off the area around the shrine in the west of Kabul and they started

letting people out as fast as they could. The authorities did warn Shia

Muslims against large gatherings commemorating this event in the

expectation of violence. It is not the first time Shias had been

targeted. A July attack against the Shia Hazara community left at least

80 people dead. In a few moments, we will look at the issue of child

brides in India, as well as looking at the issue more broadly around the

world. There has been a warning about the

future of social care in England is the rate at which care homes are

closing risers. Evidence gathered by the health regulator and seen by BBC

News raises serious concerns about the impact of budget cuts on the

quality of care for elderly and disabled people.

Many of those involved in care have argued for years that it has been

underfunded and we have not come up with a mechanism that is correct for

funding social care, which is the support people get at home or in

care homes, away from the NHS. That is partly because people have for a

long time thought social care would be provided for them by local

authorities. In fact, there is a decrease in the number of people who

are eligible for help from local authorities.

I'm Roz Atkins, with Outside Source. Our lead story is that the rift

between Donald Trump and the Republican party leadership is

widening. In a series of tweets, he called them disloyal and unable to

win. There's look at the main stories from BBC World Service.

South Africa passed by finance minister is to be prosecuted for

fraud. The allegations date back to his time as the head of the tax

department. He says this is political mischief.

BBC World Service had that. BBC Chinese have reported the funding

three-year-old girl who survived under the remains of a clapped home.

She had been protected by the bodies of her parents, who died. This

happened on Monday on the outskirts of a city.

You may have seen this already. Today is the UN's International day

of the girl. It is being barked -- marked with different events all

over the world. The charity Save The Children is using it to highlight

child marriage. If you look at the charity's campaign feed online, it

says: let me give you some more numbers to

understand the issues. 15 million girls married before the age of 18.

In developing countries, one in three girls is married before age of

18 and one in five -- won in nine is married before 15. We decided to

look at the issue in India. Legally, a girl must be over 18 years of age

and the boy must be over 21. That is the law. There are ways around it.

People do things they shouldn't, often because of tradition or custom

or because that is how it has always been done. We do have a custom

sometimes that girls get married really young, even as young as five

or six, but they continue to live with their parents. It is only once

they become a teenager that they moved to their husband's house.

Sometimes even the groom is very young, just seven or eight years of

age. But when they are teenagers, they start living together. So are

their thousands of prosecutions, or is this tolerated because it is seen

as part of India's culture? It is not tolerated when it is reported.

If it is reported, the police are supposed to take action and there

will be prosecutions. However, many times, cases like this go unreported

because the whole village would agree with something like this. This

is more prevalent in rural areas than urban areas. The village will

think it is a family matter. Me and my neighbour have decided that our

children should get married and we should turn this into a family

Alliance. I'm interested that you mentioned the divide between the

cities and the country. Are there are also parts of India where this

is more common, or rather particular religions or cultures where it is

more common? There have been instances where girls who were a bit

older, like 13 or 14, have put their foot down and said they will not do

this. This is closely related to education. If they have been

educated even a little bit, then they know this is not something

which is legal and that they have rights. There have been cases when a

girl has put her foot down or they have reported it and the police have

taken action. If you were watching yesterday, Outside Source was

reporting on the existential threat to Samsung's Galaxy Note 7

smartphone. Today we got this. The bid everyone focus on was this. Rory

Cellan-Jones has been following this story each step of the way.

It was the latest version of Samsung's giant smartphone

and it won rave reviews, but then this happened.

In a fast-food restaurant in South Korea a phone is on fire,

one of several incidents over the last 10 days.

These all involved replacement Note 7s, sent out after the first

Now, Samsung has admitted defeat, halting production

Customers have been told to turn them off and return them to stores.

In London this morning, this man, who bought

previous versions of the Note, was disappointed.

I pre-ordered the Note 7 in mid-September I got it

So I got my replacement and was perfectly happy with it

and heartbroken to have to take my new phone

Samsung broke new ground, with the Note proving

there was an appetite for much bigger phones.

It hoped its latest version would be the best-selling yet.

Now, though, it's clear that the Note 7 isn't coming back.

The company must concentrate on limiting the damage

Shares in the company fell sharply, wiping billions of its value

as investors worried that the reputation of its other

Samsung is respected as being technologically excellent

that is what they need to recover from.

That will be the test on whether or not they are able

to recover some of the value they are losing by the day.

This incident is the most serious so far.

But Samsung isn't alone in seeing smartphone batteries overheat.

The reason for that is that modern smartphones are powerful computers.

They use a lot of energy to make those wonderful things work.

That energy could be dangerous if it's released quickly.

In certain circumstances, that can happen.

We want more and more from our phones, but as Samsung

found to its cost, the one thing we demand above all others

Don't for a minute think that what is the end of Samsung's troubles. It

has an ongoing dispute with Apple which has reached the US Supreme

Court. Judges have already ruled that Samsung copied elements of the

iPhone's design. Today, we are going to learn how much that will cost

Samsung. Let's bring in Michelle Fleury in New York, who is covering

this. What precisely did Samsung copy? It had to do with one of the

most memorable aspects of some of the older iPhones. The first time

they started introducing those round edges for the phones. That is one of

the areas where it has been found guilty of copying Apple's design.

Something so simple, a round edges of a sharp edge. The other thing has

to do with the front of the phone, that almost black glass front. That

was another area where they were found to have infringed on Apple's

design patent. At dispute is $400 million. That represents the profits

that Samsung made from selling smartphone is which essentially

copied Apple's design. They are arguing that it is not fair that

they should have to repay the entire profit, that the design was only one

aspect of the overall product. I have the impression that these two

are continually suing each other over patents. You wouldn't be wrong.

This is the result of several cases. Two lower courts ruled in favour of

Apple in this case. It has made its way all the way to the Supreme

Court, the top court in America. It is pretty unusual to see this

happen. They are arguing over a point of law that dates back to the

1880s, when two carpet designers were accused of copying the design

of other carpet manufacturers. What is really at stake here is the fact

that this could have wide-ranging implications for the rest of the

technology industry. As a result, you are seeing some unusual or

unlikely allies for Samsung. I'm talking names like Facebook, Google,

HP, all saying that this could have an adverse effect on how companies

spend in the future on research or development. That is a thought,

Apple and Samsung arguing over a point of law that dates back to the

18th-century carpet industry, but that is what is happening. Now, in

the UK it has been another slide for the pound. It has now fallen 19%

against the dollar since the UK voted to leave the European Union.

Bad for people going on holiday, but a weaker pound does mean British

exports are cheaper and UK companies doing this abroad can benefit as

well. Kamal Ahmed has been looking at some of these issues.

They are some of Britain's biggest businesses, and today, good news

for them as the stock market hit record highs driven by strong

exports thanks to a weaker pound, and a bonus for international

If you earn profits in dollars, it is cashing in time.

But a warning - this doesn't mark some great turnaround

It does look good, but it's not a vote of confidence

in the UK economy, and that's because the FTSE 100

is mostly comprised of multinational companies that do business abroad.

Also, given the currency fall we've seen since the referendum,

the revenues of those companies, when you translate it

into sterling, look very good, that is why the FTSE is rising.

it was the Governor of the Bank of England who steadied nerves.

Some volatility can be expected as this process unfolds.

Amid the uncertainty, one thing happened -

a fundamental market judgment on the risk to the UK economy.

The weakness in the pound is a sign that investors don't have confidence

in a post-Brexit UK economic outlook, they think it will be

negative for the UK economy and GDP could contract.

It has certainly been a rocky ride for the pound.

Here is the beginning of the month, when the pound was valued at $1.30,

but it began to fall after Theresa May suggested

that Britain would not only leave the EU, but the EU free

market as well, which many economists see as a poor option.

Then on Friday, the flash crash, down to $1.14 as automatic computer

Since then, what is striking is the high levels of volatility.

There is still real uncertainty in the markets.

The pound has fallen almost one fifth since the referendum

We do think inflation starts to pick up from here, particularly next year

and if people's incomes are not rising at the same rate,

that is hitting real income and that could slow spending

So, some bad effects, higher fuel and food prices could be

on the way, and some good effects - the luxury and tourist markets

in the UK are booming, the falling pound the markets'
