:00:08. > :00:10.Hello, I'm Karin Giannone, this is Outside Source.
:00:11. > :00:18.Donald Trump's son has released emails implying he knew
:00:19. > :00:21.about what seemed to be Russian efforts to influence
:00:22. > :00:25.It was revealed in a series of messages he posted online
:00:26. > :00:28.from last year showing he was eager to accept incriminating information
:00:29. > :00:34.about Hillary Clinton promised by a Russian source.
:00:35. > :00:36.Amnesty International accuses Iraqi and coalition forces
:00:37. > :00:38.of using excessive force in Mosul - leading to the deaths
:00:39. > :00:58.I reject any notion that coalition fires were in any way imprecise, not
:00:59. > :00:59.lawful, or excessively targeted civilians.
:01:00. > :01:03.report from front line of Raqqa where female commanders
:01:04. > :01:09.are leading the charge against the so-called Islamic State.
:01:10. > :01:16.These fighters are coming up against snipers from IS in streets around
:01:17. > :01:17.here and other than that they have drones, this will be a hard fight.
:01:18. > :01:37.And in OS Sport, we'll be looking towards the 2024 Olympic Games.
:01:38. > :01:40.More on our top story - Donald Trump Junior releasing emails
:01:41. > :01:45.showing he was eager to accept what he was told was damaging
:01:46. > :01:47.information about Hillary Clinton provided by the Russian state,
:01:48. > :01:55.It appears to be the first confirmation that a Trump
:01:56. > :01:58.associate attended a meeting in the expectation of being handed
:01:59. > :02:02.sensitive information from Russian officials.
:02:03. > :02:04.There's been strong criticism from Democrats and some Republicans.
:02:05. > :02:06.But there are those saying it's no big deal -
:02:07. > :02:08.like Elizabeth Price Foley, an American legal theorist
:02:09. > :02:23.I think at this point it is much ado about nothing and there is nothing
:02:24. > :02:33.illegal about obtaining opposition research from whatever source.
:02:34. > :02:38.Recently Politico ran stories showing that a DNC operative, which
:02:39. > :02:43.is a campaign arm of the Clinton campaign, had meetings out the
:02:44. > :02:49.Ukrainian Embassy for the express purpose of obtaining dirt on Donald
:02:50. > :02:53.Trump during the campaign. So I think we are naive if we think this
:02:54. > :02:59.kind of thing does not happen all the time and it does not make any of
:03:00. > :03:05.this activity illegal. I think it is pretty normal. It certainly doesn't
:03:06. > :03:09.show... You go as far as to say that you think what we have heard today,
:03:10. > :03:13.Donald Trump Junior said he loved the idea he would get information
:03:14. > :03:20.from a Russian state source, is normal? Yes, absolutely, in fact
:03:21. > :03:25.what is wrong with it? Normally what would happen, as what happened with
:03:26. > :03:34.the Hillary Clinton campaign, is you have low -- lower levels Darfur
:03:35. > :03:38.meeting with in this case Ukrainian officials and you have the report
:03:39. > :03:45.back and the only difference here is that instead of a DNC staffer, it
:03:46. > :03:50.was actually Donald Trump Junior who again, is not his father. You talked
:03:51. > :03:54.about this not being the president himself. It is as pretty much as
:03:55. > :03:59.close to the president as you can get, also the fact this is an
:04:00. > :04:04.administration that has repeatedly said it has had no contact with
:04:05. > :04:10.Russia, repeatedly denied it and here we have an e-mail published by
:04:11. > :04:17.the President's Sun saying he accepted the offer of a Russian
:04:18. > :04:25.lawyer who purported to show him damaging information. There is no
:04:26. > :04:29.indication yet that Miss Veselnitskaya was a representative
:04:30. > :04:32.of the Russian government. It was not whether she turned out to be
:04:33. > :04:39.what she said she was it is the fact it was offered and he accepted it
:04:40. > :04:43.with no surprise and did not report it as something suspicious that a
:04:44. > :04:48.foreign power was getting involved in an election campaign. What you
:04:49. > :04:52.don't know with all respect is whether or not there was letting
:04:53. > :04:56.down by the campaign as to whether Miss Veselnitskaya was actually a
:04:57. > :05:00.Russian government official, just because she used the words in the
:05:01. > :05:07.e-mail does not mean she was a Russian government official. A lot
:05:08. > :05:08.more on that story on the website as well as analysis about where this
:05:09. > :05:10.leaves the investigations. Just a day after declaring victory
:05:11. > :05:14.in Mosul, Iraqi and coalition forces have been accused of using excessive
:05:15. > :05:17.force by the human rights group This is the report on Amnesty
:05:18. > :05:23.International's website. Among other things, it claims
:05:24. > :05:25.that between February and June of this year,
:05:26. > :05:28.nearly 6000 civilians were killed as a result of attacks by Iraqi
:05:29. > :05:32.and US-led coalition forces. It also said a claim
:05:33. > :05:34.by the British Government that hundreds of RAF air strikes
:05:35. > :05:37.in and around Mosul resulted in no civilian casualties
:05:38. > :05:40."is at best implausible". As you'd expect, the report has been
:05:41. > :05:43.dismissed by coalition forces. Here's the coalition
:05:44. > :05:55.spokesman in Mosul. I would challenge the people from
:05:56. > :06:02.Amnesty International or anyone else who makes these charges, to first
:06:03. > :06:10.research facts and make sure they are speaking from a position of
:06:11. > :06:14.authority. I would argue this... I believe the most precise campaign in
:06:15. > :06:22.the history of warfare. We have gone to extraordinary measures to
:06:23. > :06:29.safeguard civilian lives. Measuring every single time how many civilians
:06:30. > :06:35.we think may or may not be in the target area and what ammunition to
:06:36. > :06:40.employ and how can we strike that building and take out only that room
:06:41. > :06:45.and not an entire floor, the entire building. These things are factored
:06:46. > :06:47.into every single strike, that number in the tens of thousands.
:06:48. > :06:50.I turned to BBC Arabic Newsnight presenter Rasha Qandeel
:06:51. > :07:03.The problem is the three parties accused of committing what can be
:07:04. > :07:07.mounting to war crimes are the Iraqi government, the coalition led by the
:07:08. > :07:15.US and what is called Islamic State. The problem with the use of FA 18,
:07:16. > :07:20.heavily used by the US is it is a super hoard it and basically a twin
:07:21. > :07:27.engined carrier and indiscriminate and disproportionate as a weapon and
:07:28. > :07:35.this can affects the lives of civilians. The Iraqi army has, there
:07:36. > :07:40.have been accusations flying around about what sort of treatment may
:07:41. > :07:44.have with civilians. What is called Islamic State, the main thing is
:07:45. > :07:49.taking civilians as a human shield and if you put the three together
:07:50. > :07:56.the report is based on what it says to be witnesses. It might map to be
:07:57. > :08:02.real war crimes committed by the three parties. We have had a strong
:08:03. > :08:06.response from the US, saying the report is offensive to people who
:08:07. > :08:11.risk their lives to rid Mosul of Islamic State. The facts we have
:08:12. > :08:19.mentioned, the weapons being used, the number of civilians in a small
:08:20. > :08:24.area, makes it closer to be believable. Rather than the
:08:25. > :08:29.opposite. The problem is, the United States has to react like this. There
:08:30. > :08:34.are two ways to put any case of a war crime in front of the ICC.
:08:35. > :08:38.Whether the security Council takes the whole thing to the general
:08:39. > :08:45.prosecutor or general prosecutors take the whole thing on his own or
:08:46. > :08:50.her own in front of the ICC, it could amount to be catastrophic for
:08:51. > :08:51.the American army, coalition and individuals who can be taken up
:08:52. > :08:52.cases. Victory has been declared -
:08:53. > :08:54.but what's the true reality of the situation
:08:55. > :08:56.on the ground in Mosul? According to the UN,
:08:57. > :08:58.some 3000 civilians remain trapped The BBC's Basheer Al Zaidi filed
:08:59. > :09:05.this report from a rooftop in Mosul. As you'll see - coalition
:09:06. > :09:18.bombing continues. The people of Mosul are celebrating
:09:19. > :09:24.on the first day after declaring victory on IS, but the sound of
:09:25. > :09:30.music is mixing with the sound of bombing from the western side where
:09:31. > :09:36.there are pockets held by extremist militants. The Iraqi aviation and
:09:37. > :09:40.coalition forces launch air strikes targeting these locations and it is
:09:41. > :09:43.not known when it will be cleared. There is an overwhelming sense of
:09:44. > :09:51.relief among the people, who hope the next stage for their city will
:09:52. > :09:55.be based on reconstruction. It would allow hundreds of thousands of
:09:56. > :09:58.people who have fled the city to come back home.
:09:59. > :10:01.With IS all but defeated in Mosul - according to the government,
:10:02. > :10:03.anyway - the next challenge is to achieve similar
:10:04. > :10:09.And that means taking back the city of Raqqa.
:10:10. > :10:11.Our correspondent Gabriel Gatehouse, along with cameraman Fred Scot
:10:12. > :10:20.and producer Peter Emmerson, have been with them on the front line.
:10:21. > :10:32.In Raqqa Islamic State is making its final stand. Fighting their way into
:10:33. > :10:38.the heart of the caliphate, a fragile coalition of power is great
:10:39. > :10:47.and small, of Arabs and Kurds, of men and women. This person is in
:10:48. > :10:53.command of around 1000 fighters on the Raqqa front lines. Together
:10:54. > :10:59.these men and women make up the Syrian Democratic forces. An
:11:00. > :11:08.alliance that includes Arabs but is led by the Kurds. Their success
:11:09. > :11:12.against IS has come thanks in no small part to backing from the
:11:13. > :11:18.United States. The Americans have quietly built up a presence on the
:11:19. > :11:23.ground, providing weapons, training and firepower. This commander and
:11:24. > :11:28.her unit are on the Western front. It is a tight squeeze inside the
:11:29. > :11:35.home armoured truck with a couple of her fighters driving towards the
:11:36. > :11:47.centre of Raqqa. Islamic State is supposed to be surrounded inside the
:11:48. > :11:53.old city. But IS have built tunnels. They frequently pop-up way you do
:11:54. > :12:02.not expect them. -- where you do not expect them. These fighters are
:12:03. > :12:07.coming up against IS snipers in all of these streets. Other than that
:12:08. > :12:12.they have drones, suicide carbons. It will be a very hard fight into
:12:13. > :12:20.the centre of Raqqa. Inching their way into the city house by house.
:12:21. > :12:26.Some fighters are so close, they can hear IS in the building across the
:12:27. > :12:32.street. This is a battle for territory, they are fighting to take
:12:33. > :12:36.the capital of the caliphate. But something has happened here.
:12:37. > :12:40.Everyone is springing into action. They think they have got... Some
:12:41. > :12:55.Isis snipers in the buildings around. What is going on? They are
:12:56. > :13:00.moving here. They now face Islamic State that perhaps its most
:13:01. > :13:04.dangerous. We did, cornered, and with nothing left to lose. But the
:13:05. > :13:12.fall of IS is within sight. Stay with us on Outside
