Hello, I'm Ros Atkins, this is Outside Source. | :00:08. | :00:10. | |
Let's look through some of the main stories here in the BBC Newsroom. | :00:11. | :00:16. | |
In Iraq there is progress being made as a variety of forces, primarily | :00:17. | :00:24. | |
Iraqi and Kurdish, make progress towards Mosul, trying to take it | :00:25. | :00:29. | |
back from Islamic State. If and when Iraqi forces make inside | :00:30. | :00:33. | |
the city, they could be caught in the crossfire. A day to go before | :00:34. | :00:45. | |
the presidential election. I am also going to play you this report from | :00:46. | :00:50. | |
BBC trending about an unlikely connection made between an Internet | :00:51. | :00:54. | |
broadcaster in California and a teenager in Saudi Arabia. We will | :00:55. | :01:00. | |
also talk about the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games, already overbudget, a | :01:01. | :01:03. | |
long way over budget. We will find out what it's doing about that. | :01:04. | :01:22. | |
Let's turn back to the battle for Mosul. John Simpson, BBC world | :01:23. | :01:26. | |
affairs editor says: while most people expect that to | :01:27. | :01:34. | |
happen, the retaking Mosul may only | :01:35. | :01:39. | |
be the start of this. The current coalition fighting | :01:40. | :01:42. | |
IS on the ground consists of Iraqi troops, the Kurdish Peshmerga, | :01:43. | :01:44. | |
as well as both Shia Arguably they fear and dislike each | :01:45. | :01:46. | |
other almost as much And many local Sunnis who live | :01:47. | :01:55. | |
in Mosul resented what they saw as the sectarian policies | :01:56. | :02:01. | |
of the Shia-led central government That's why there's | :02:02. | :02:09. | |
sensitivity about the Shia militia If you look at the flags on this | :02:10. | :02:14. | |
tank, you'll be able to make out He's the grandson of | :02:15. | :02:24. | |
the Prophet Muhammed, It is a Shia symbol | :02:25. | :02:30. | |
that is provocative to Sunnis. Richard Galpin is Irbil, | :02:31. | :02:39. | |
to the east of Mosul. Part of the BBC team covering this | :02:40. | :02:47. | |
from a number of angles. He's been talking to me about what | :02:48. | :03:01. | |
plans may be done to deal with these divisions if and when Mosul Falls. | :03:02. | :03:07. | |
What we understand from the Iraqi authorities as they will not allow | :03:08. | :03:13. | |
the Shi'ite militias to enter the city. They are saying it will only | :03:14. | :03:18. | |
be the elite forces, for example the counterterrorism forces, who will go | :03:19. | :03:22. | |
in and carry out that battle, what we expect to be street by street | :03:23. | :03:28. | |
fighting with Isis Fighters, assuming Isis stand up and fight. | :03:29. | :03:32. | |
They are being very clear about that, saying the Shi'ite militia | :03:33. | :03:35. | |
will not be allowed in. They are saying the same for the Kurdish | :03:36. | :03:40. | |
fighters as well, the Peshmerga, that it won't be their fight. But of | :03:41. | :03:45. | |
course you have to say it is the question of weather the Iraqi | :03:46. | :03:48. | |
military and authorities will be able to prevent the Shi'ite militias | :03:49. | :03:53. | |
from going in, because they are very powerful. It a very, very key issue, | :03:54. | :04:02. | |
because certainly during previous offensives there have been | :04:03. | :04:06. | |
allegations that Shi'ite militias have gone in and carried out | :04:07. | :04:10. | |
atrocities. So this is absolutely essential. Might a successful | :04:11. | :04:15. | |
campaign put questions next to the Iraqi Kurds in a Iraq? That is a key | :04:16. | :04:27. | |
issue because we are seeing the Kurdish fighters, the Peshmerga, | :04:28. | :04:31. | |
moving out from here, pushing across towards Mosul, and as they go, they | :04:32. | :04:38. | |
are gaining territory. There is a real issue about that, will they | :04:39. | :04:44. | |
have more territory and a push for their independence from the rest of | :04:45. | :04:48. | |
Iraq regressed remark there are people who are being very, very | :04:49. | :04:52. | |
pessimistic, saying actually the taking of Mosul could put questions | :04:53. | :04:57. | |
over the whole future of the country. It is massively fragmented | :04:58. | :05:03. | |
already between sunny, Shia and the Kurds. The worry is this offensive | :05:04. | :05:07. | |
will exacerbate all of those tensions. Thanks to Richard for the. | :05:08. | :05:11. | |
Heading into the final presidential debate on Wednesday, | :05:12. | :05:17. | |
polls show Donald Trump now lagging well behind Hillary Clinton. | :05:18. | :05:21. | |
Ten points on the BBC's latest poll of polls. | :05:22. | :05:24. | |
Part of that may be down to the splits he's causing | :05:25. | :05:26. | |
As Aleem Maqbool reports from Wisconsin, | :05:27. | :05:30. | |
In this bitter election season Republicans who turned against their | :05:31. | :05:49. | |
own candidate are feeling the heat. Trump is in Green Bay today... Jerry | :05:50. | :05:54. | |
is suddenly losing fans at a rapid rate and he's getting lots of abuse | :05:55. | :06:00. | |
from fellow Republicans. OK, I'm a conservative talk-show host. Over | :06:01. | :06:03. | |
the years I have become accustomed to vitriol from those with a liberal | :06:04. | :06:09. | |
worldview, they see me as the enemy. I'm not getting that same kind of | :06:10. | :06:14. | |
vitriol, that same type of you're the enemy from Conservative | :06:15. | :06:17. | |
listeners because I won't support Mr Trump. He says he won't vote for the | :06:18. | :06:23. | |
Republican candidate because he is liability and has been worried about | :06:24. | :06:26. | |
allegations of vote rigging and his attitudes towards women, the that | :06:27. | :06:31. | |
are causing huge risk rift in the party. At his rallies the split is | :06:32. | :06:36. | |
obvious, because Donald Trump may be speaking here in Green Bay, | :06:37. | :06:40. | |
Wisconsin today, but no senior Republicans will appear on stage | :06:41. | :06:44. | |
with him. What are the supporters think about that? That's no loss for | :06:45. | :06:49. | |
Trump, we only want the good people, the people that will make America a | :06:50. | :06:53. | |
great again. We don't care if the Republicans to want to vote for him. | :06:54. | :06:56. | |
I don't care about a senior Republican being here, we are here | :06:57. | :07:00. | |
supporting him. That is more important. That's what we're tired. | :07:01. | :07:05. | |
We're tired of power and greed. Weather it's Democrats or | :07:06. | :07:10. | |
Republicans? Absolutely, you've got it, yes. Once they filed in the | :07:11. | :07:16. | |
crowd would disrupt proceedings by chanting slogans against absolute | :07:17. | :07:24. | |
Republicans. The Republican party of Wisconsin... But the man himself | :07:25. | :07:28. | |
still knows how to energise his pace. | :07:29. | :07:33. | |
They even want to try to rig the election at the polling booths... | :07:34. | :07:39. | |
His core supporters still there, but the unease of senior Republicans | :07:40. | :07:45. | |
backing Trump may be one factor leading undecided voters he'd be too | :07:46. | :07:52. | |
great a risk as president. This time tomorrow we'll will be in | :07:53. | :07:56. | |
the last few hours building up to that final debate. You can watch | :07:57. | :07:59. | |
that weather you are inside the UK on the BBC news channel or outside | :08:00. | :08:06. | |
on BBC world News. Now time for the sport. | :08:07. | :08:07. | |
The head of the International Olympic Committee has held | :08:08. | :08:10. | |
This is all to do with 2020 Games - and how they cost of hosting | :08:11. | :08:16. | |
Even with a scaled-down main stadium, the estimated cost | :08:17. | :08:22. | |
That's four times the initial estimate. | :08:23. | :08:34. | |
By comparison, the sport-related costs of this year's Olympics | :08:35. | :08:37. | |
and Paralympics in Rio de Janeiro look likely to come in under | :08:38. | :08:40. | |
Tokyo's governor wants to save money by scrapping three venues - | :08:41. | :08:47. | |
and either moving sports out of the city. | :08:48. | :08:51. | |
The IOC president doesn't think that will be necessary. | :08:52. | :08:56. | |
Here is some of his statement. We can find excellent ways to make | :08:57. | :09:06. | |
the Olympic Games even more feasible, by having achieved already | :09:07. | :09:16. | |
almost $2 billion of savings, and by having a contribution of the IOC of | :09:17. | :09:22. | |
about 1.7 billion US dollars. Therefore I am very happy with this | :09:23. | :09:27. | |
meeting today, because we agreed that we will continue in this way of | :09:28. | :09:35. | |
cooperation, to make the Olympic Games in Tokyo 2020 the most | :09:36. | :09:43. | |
sustainable and most feasible Games possible. Damian Johnson joins us | :09:44. | :09:51. | |
from the BBC sport Centre. First of all, the question most of our | :09:52. | :09:54. | |
viewers wondering, how is this costing four times what Rio paid? | :09:55. | :09:59. | |
The figures are eye watering. No real explanation has been given. You | :10:00. | :10:05. | |
mentioned that $30 billion figure, that came from an expert panel who | :10:06. | :10:09. | |
reported last month. They suggested drastic cuts to the size and scope | :10:10. | :10:15. | |
of the games in Tokyo in 2020. They propose scrapping three venues and | :10:16. | :10:19. | |
relocating events to outside of the city, some existing facilities. That | :10:20. | :10:23. | |
would represent a real climb down from what Japan promised the Olympic | :10:24. | :10:28. | |
movement. They said all the events would take close very close to the | :10:29. | :10:32. | |
Olympic Village, in most cases within a few miles radius of that | :10:33. | :10:37. | |
village. The IOC president has been in the country this week. He was | :10:38. | :10:42. | |
gently reminding the hosts of their commitments, but also suggesting he | :10:43. | :10:45. | |
is prepared to make some kind of compromise. I think there is an air | :10:46. | :10:50. | |
of compromise very much in the air. Is there a precedent for the | :10:51. | :10:53. | |
Olympics moving certain sport outside of the city or the country? | :10:54. | :10:59. | |
I can't recall events of being moved outside of the country, outside the | :11:00. | :11:03. | |
city is common practice. Remember the London games of 2012, some | :11:04. | :11:07. | |
events took place on the south coast, so it does happen, but it | :11:08. | :11:10. | |
would be a climb-down for the Japanese and a loss of face. A quick | :11:11. | :11:15. | |
update on the football, the Champions League? Real Madrid, the | :11:16. | :11:19. | |
holders, in action today. 5-1 winners over Warsaw. Gareth Bale on | :11:20. | :11:25. | |
the scoresheet. The glamour club of European football. The holders and | :11:26. | :11:30. | |
strongly fancied to be there or thereabouts at the business end of | :11:31. | :11:34. | |
the competition. Leicester City, the English champions never been in the | :11:35. | :11:38. | |
Champions League before, they won again. Their third victory in the | :11:39. | :11:41. | |
Champions League group stages and are eyeing a place in the knockout | :11:42. | :11:45. | |
stages for the first time. They won 1-0 against Copenhagen, finishing | :11:46. | :11:51. | |
the group five points clear of Copenhagen. The fairy tale continues | :11:52. | :11:54. | |
for them. Amazing. Thank you. Leicester mast marching on in Europe | :11:55. | :12:00. | |
for stop you can follow that on the BBC website right now. | :12:01. | :12:01. | |
Baseball's getting to the sharp end of the season. | :12:02. | :12:03. | |
Cleveland Indians are one win away from reaching the World Series - | :12:04. | :12:06. | |
they've won the first three games against the Toronto Blue Jays. | :12:07. | :12:11. | |
They won the last game in Toronto - the same province where the team has | :12:12. | :12:14. | |
been fighting an issue with its logo. | :12:15. | :12:20. | |
If you are a baseball fan you will notice. | :12:21. | :12:27. | |
It's considered an offensive racial caricature by some. | :12:28. | :12:31. | |
An Indigenous activist went to court to bar the use of the logo | :12:32. | :12:34. | |
and name in Ontario, but the case was dismissed. | :12:35. | :12:38. | |
That happened just hours before the Indians won 4-2. | :12:39. | :12:40. | |
They play the Bluejays again in Toronto Wednesday - | :12:41. | :12:42. | |
with a chance to punch their ticket to the World Series. | :12:43. | :12:51. | |
A report now on baseball players in Africa are tying to make it | :12:52. | :12:54. | |
all the way to Major League Baseball in the US. | :12:55. | :12:59. | |
I've been playing baseball since I was seven years old. | :13:00. | :13:48. | |
Go hard, go hard, all the way, you're not running, go. | :13:49. | :14:38. | |
We all wish him well. In a moment a report from BBC trending, looking at | :14:39. | :14:50. | |
the odd relationship or friendship between a very well-known online | :14:51. | :14:53. | |
broadcaster in California and a teenager in Saudi Arabia. The | :14:54. | :14:57. | |
teenager in Saudi Arabia has been getting into trouble. | :14:58. | :15:07. | |
Thousands of people have been in London's Trafalgar Square | :15:08. | :15:09. | |
to celebrate the success of Great Britain's Olympians | :15:10. | :15:11. | |
This is the second day of partying for the athletes, after their parade | :15:12. | :15:15. | |
through the streets of Manchester yesterday. | :15:16. | :15:16. | |
Both teams won more medals at Rio than at the London Games in 2012, | :15:17. | :15:20. | |
finishing second in the medal table at both the Olympics | :15:21. | :15:22. | |
And this evening the athletes met the Queen at a reception | :15:23. | :15:27. | |
Prince Philip and the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge were among | :15:28. | :15:31. | |
The Duchess told the British equestrians that her | :15:32. | :15:39. | |
daughter Charlotte takes after the Queen, | :15:40. | :15:41. | |
Your Team GB and Paralympics GB athletes... | :15:42. | :15:48. | |
Day two of the nation's thank you to its Olympic and Paralympic | :15:49. | :15:51. | |
athletes started here in Trafalgar Square. | :15:52. | :15:55. | |
I'm not really into sport, but I've been glued to this, | :15:56. | :16:00. | |
If Brazil has samba, London has the Queen's Grenadier | :16:01. | :16:07. | |
London in October isn't exactly the hottest spot north of Havana, | :16:08. | :16:14. | |
but the sun made a welcome change from the downpour | :16:15. | :16:16. | |
Consequently, fans and athletes' families | :16:17. | :16:21. | |
were here in their thousands, to greet Britain's stars. | :16:22. | :16:24. | |
They even got to see a re-enactment of a gold | :16:25. | :16:27. | |
For the athletes, though, the pleasure was in seeing | :16:28. | :16:34. | |
the public so inspired by their achievements. | :16:35. | :16:37. | |
I grew up in Penzance in Cornwall, and I was very far away | :16:38. | :16:40. | |
The first Olympic medal I'd seen and held was my own. | :16:41. | :16:46. | |
I do think that there's something really special and unique | :16:47. | :16:51. | |
in being able to see that and being able to be close to it, | :16:52. | :16:55. | |
It ended with a performance by The Vamps and a whole lot | :16:56. | :16:59. | |
Well, all 214 medallists will now swap out of their tracksuits | :17:00. | :17:06. | |
and into their gladrags, because they have a date | :17:07. | :17:08. | |
at the Palace just down the road, but one of them is ready to break | :17:09. | :17:12. | |
I really want a selfie with them but not sure how I'm | :17:13. | :17:18. | |
A selfie might be a stretch too far, but at least they all stuck | :17:19. | :17:23. | |
to the dress code, as they arrived here tonight to receive a formal | :17:24. | :17:26. | |
This is Outside Source live from the BBC newsroom. | :17:27. | :17:44. | |
It comes from Iraq where government troops and the allies are continuing | :17:45. | :17:53. | |
to push towards Mosul in the north of Iraq, to take the country back | :17:54. | :17:56. | |
from Islamic State. Let me bring you what's coming up | :17:57. | :17:58. | |
after, if you're outside of the UK, | :17:59. | :18:01. | |
it's World News America next. It's exactly three weeks | :18:02. | :18:04. | |
until election day. Katty Kay will have all | :18:05. | :18:05. | |
the latest from the US Here in the UK, the | :18:06. | :18:08. | |
News at Ten is next. the UK Government will announce next | :18:09. | :18:14. | |
week weather it backs expanding Heathrow or Gatwick airports. This | :18:15. | :18:22. | |
should end decades of the delay on the decision. | :18:23. | :18:23. | |
Here's a story we've covered regularly on Outside Source. | :18:24. | :18:31. | |
It's about the treatment of refugees in Australia. | :18:32. | :18:36. | |
When asylum seekers try to reach Australia by boat they are sent | :18:37. | :18:41. | |
to the island nation of Nauru and Papua New Guinea's Manis Island. | :18:42. | :18:44. | |
Amnesty International says that people are being driven to suicide | :18:45. | :18:50. | |
and that the poor conditions in the camps are deliberately used | :18:51. | :18:52. | |
We believe that this policy amounts to torture. We made this conclusion | :18:53. | :19:09. | |
based on the systematic nature of the harm that is being caused. It's | :19:10. | :19:14. | |
intentional nature and the fact it's being perpetrated with a specific | :19:15. | :19:18. | |
goal that the Australian government is not even trying to hide. The goal | :19:19. | :19:23. | |
is deterrence, the policy of deterrence relies on the idea of | :19:24. | :19:28. | |
causing as much suffering as possible, to ensure that others do | :19:29. | :19:31. | |
not attempt to do what these asylum seekers have tried to do. Such as | :19:32. | :19:37. | |
reaching Australia's shores. Australia's Prime Minister pushed | :19:38. | :19:42. | |
back at this, appearing on morning radio programmes to respond. | :19:43. | :19:51. | |
Well, I reject that claim totally. It is, it is, it is absolutely | :19:52. | :19:55. | |
false. The Australian government's commitment compassion and strong. | :19:56. | :20:02. | |
Here is the latest BBC trending report for you. | :20:03. | :20:05. | |
It's about an unlikely online friendship between a well-known | :20:06. | :20:07. | |
Internet broadcaster in California and a teenager in Saudi Arabia. | :20:08. | :20:10. | |
It is fair to say the Saudi authorities were not impressed. | :20:11. | :22:22. | |
Just before I go, a reminder it is the latest EU summit in Brussels | :22:23. | :22:30. | |
later this week. Our sources will be there. This one advert you might be | :22:31. | :22:40. | |
interested in... The idea is to try and poach business from London to | :22:41. | :22:45. | |
Paris. There is no frog here, but anyway a regional official is saying | :22:46. | :22:50. | |
this is regrettable Brexit is happening, but let's the pragmatic, | :22:51. | :22:55. | |
there might be an opportunity. Thank you for watching, I will be back | :22:56. | :22:57. | |
tomorrow, bye-bye. I'm Damian Johnson with the main | :22:58. | :23:11. | |
sports News. Leicester City are a step closer to | :23:12. | :23:12. |
