:00:10. > :00:12.Hello, I'm Karin Giannone, this is Outside Source.

:00:13. > :00:15.Donald Trump has attacked his own Attorney General, calling him weak,

:00:16. > :00:21.as rumours swirl that he may fire him soon.

:00:22. > :00:30.But I am disappointed in the Attorney General. You should not

:00:31. > :00:32.have recused himself. Almost immediately after he took office.

:00:33. > :00:34.Two rival Libyan leaders agree to a conditional ceasefire

:00:35. > :00:38.during a meeting in Paris, but how long is it likely to last?

:00:39. > :00:40.Europe is being hit by extreme temperatures and floods.

:00:41. > :00:48.We'll speak to the BBC Weather team about what's causing it.

:00:49. > :00:51.And in Outside Source Sport: We'll be talking about Adam Peaty.

:00:52. > :01:08.He's broken two world records in the pool today.

:01:09. > :01:12.The two main rivals in Libya have made a joint commitment to calling

:01:13. > :01:18.a ceasefire and holding elections in spring 2018.

:01:19. > :01:26.This is the UN-backed Prime Minister Fayez al-Sarraj.

:01:27. > :01:28.And this is Khalifa Haftar, the rival military commander

:01:29. > :01:30.who controls the east of the country.

:01:31. > :01:32.Here they are shaking hands after the meeting,

:01:33. > :01:34.which was hosted by the French President, Emmanuel Macron.

:01:35. > :01:44.Here's what he said at the press conference.

:01:45. > :01:54.Today, President al-Sarraj and General Haftar can become symbols of

:01:55. > :01:57.national unity and reconciliation and peace. I want to say with great

:01:58. > :02:03.solemnity, the courage you have shown today by being here and

:02:04. > :02:07.agreeing on this joint accord is historic. It is the courage of

:02:08. > :02:10.taking a risk, despite who might have opposed you. Despite the

:02:11. > :02:14.actions of others, which will lead to a reconciliation process and the

:02:15. > :02:15.construction of peace in the long term.

:02:16. > :02:17.Just to remind you of the complicated political

:02:18. > :02:21.Mr Sarraj's government is backed by the UN and based

:02:22. > :02:26.It's been trying to win support from other militias and politicians

:02:27. > :02:31.in the country since it came to power in 2016.

:02:32. > :02:33.General Haftar's self-styled Libyan National Army is based

:02:34. > :02:36.It doesn't recognise Mr Sarraj's government.

:02:37. > :02:38.But General Haftar is leading the battle

:02:39. > :02:40.Recently, he declared victory in Benghazi,

:02:41. > :02:46.Earlier, I spoke to the BBC World Service's Middle East

:02:47. > :02:58.Did today represent a breakthrough? They have met, but they have not

:02:59. > :03:02.signed up to an agreement. So this is a declaration of intent. It is

:03:03. > :03:05.saying, we will not fight each other any more, we will have a ceasefire

:03:06. > :03:11.between ourselves and concentrate our military force against the

:03:12. > :03:15.jihadists, the terrorists, and prepare for elections in 2018.

:03:16. > :03:21.They're rock other elements to the declaration, but it was more the

:03:22. > :03:27.sense these two people who seem to be pulling in different directions,

:03:28. > :03:34.particularly Mr Haftar, who is the strong man of Libya. And is seen as

:03:35. > :03:39.the man who could take over Libya entirely. So he is both a promising

:03:40. > :03:44.thread, a promise, but the only person who can do with the jihadists

:03:45. > :03:49.and who drove them out of Benghazi, but if he keeps going, he might be

:03:50. > :03:55.another dictator. So we deal needs to be done. When you see the number

:03:56. > :04:01.of militia operating in Libya, how much would an agreement mean if it

:04:02. > :04:04.were kept to? Mr Sarraj has got a number of political parties and

:04:05. > :04:10.factions on his side so he is building up a coalition. Haftar, to

:04:11. > :04:14.the used, has a number of different factions. But there are so many

:04:15. > :04:19.others pulling in different directions. And the keeping in Libya

:04:20. > :04:24.as in any Civil War is persuade those forces they have more to gain

:04:25. > :04:29.from a unified and stable Libya and and stable Libya where they can run

:04:30. > :04:33.their territory as they want. Which is the French President Emmanuel

:04:34. > :04:38.Macron taking such an active role? Two reasons. He is the new President

:04:39. > :04:43.and this is a diplomatic coup that was already in place. He seized the

:04:44. > :04:46.initiative and he has a great photo opportunity. Libby is a huge problem

:04:47. > :04:50.and he looks like the man who might be able to bang heads together and

:04:51. > :04:56.find a solution. This is a huge headache for Europe. The influx and

:04:57. > :05:03.Exodus of refugees. More than 90,000 this year. It is a big problem for

:05:04. > :05:07.European leaders and it has led to upheavals within countries and the

:05:08. > :05:13.rise of jihadists and terrorists. And that is very close to Europe,

:05:14. > :05:15.the closest they have got. The Islamic State group has to some

:05:16. > :05:20.extent been beaten back in Libya and they have lost their main city.

:05:21. > :05:25.Jihadists have been beaten out of Benghazi, but it is still a big

:05:26. > :05:26.threat. Personally and standing for Europe, it is a big thing for

:05:27. > :05:29.President Macron. A report in an American

:05:30. > :05:31.medical journal has found that the neurodegenerative brain

:05:32. > :05:39.disease CTE has been identified in 99% of former professional

:05:40. > :05:41.American Football players, whose brains were donated

:05:42. > :05:46.to scientific research. CTE is found in individuals

:05:47. > :05:48.who have been exposed Let's get a little more on this

:05:49. > :06:04.from AJ Perez, from USA Today. Welcome to you. What do you make of

:06:05. > :06:09.these findings? This study was following previous studies by the

:06:10. > :06:18.same group and it shows a strong link between football and the brain

:06:19. > :06:23.injuries either big or small, concussive injuries. Or mild

:06:24. > :06:33.traumatic brain injuries which covers the spectrum. And with the

:06:34. > :06:40.repeated use of playing football, it adds up in the brains of these

:06:41. > :06:45.players and we are seeing a lot of damage. I don't know what the NFL

:06:46. > :06:48.have said in response to the findings in the latest reports, but

:06:49. > :06:55.what measures have been put in place to reduce the risks of these

:06:56. > :07:01.concussive injuries? The NFL and the leagues have put in place concussion

:07:02. > :07:08.protocol. They have trainers trained in concussion, spotting concussion

:07:09. > :07:13.and concussion recovery. They are in the press boxes and they can call

:07:14. > :07:20.down and stop the Games. At every game, there is at least one nurse,

:07:21. > :07:24.neuro expert and neurosurgeon, who is on site and who can do the same

:07:25. > :07:30.thing and assess players as the game is going on. What is this going to

:07:31. > :07:34.do to the enthusiasm in people getting their children involved in

:07:35. > :07:40.football and what the sponsors of the sport are going to make of it,

:07:41. > :07:48.and the future of the game? Yes, we have seen in the States numbers

:07:49. > :08:00.dropping for participation. It mirrors what people know about it.

:08:01. > :08:03.We saw the numbers going down. They have been going downwards for

:08:04. > :08:09.several years, to the point where people who love football worry that

:08:10. > :08:13.in the next 20, 30 years, there will not be enough talent to keep the

:08:14. > :08:17.game going. It is great to talk to you, thank you very much. From USA

:08:18. > :08:20.today. Adam Peaty might not

:08:21. > :08:22.have a second gold medal at the World Swimming Championships

:08:23. > :08:25.just yet, but he has broken his own world

:08:26. > :08:41.record twice today? Quite some going to a swimmer Anya

:08:42. > :08:47.Shrubsole is, the first swimmer ever to go under 22 seconds -- Adam

:08:48. > :08:53.Peaty. He broke his record not once, but twice, as he reached the final

:08:54. > :08:59.of the World Aquatics Championships in Budapest. He took gold on Monday,

:09:00. > :09:03.but the other big champion got 25.95 seconds in his 50 metre breaststroke

:09:04. > :09:08.semifinal, going quicker and setting a new world best in the heats

:09:09. > :09:11.earlier in the day. It is something quite remarkable to see someone for

:09:12. > :09:13.the first time ever going 26 seconds. He keeps doing it day after

:09:14. > :09:15.day. The final matches in Group B

:09:16. > :09:18.of the Women's European Championship have been played over the last

:09:19. > :09:21.couple of hours. Three teams battling for two

:09:22. > :09:29.quarter-final places? Yes, they have just gone through,

:09:30. > :09:36.the final group B matches have been laid in the Euros. The knockout

:09:37. > :09:42.stages take place next. Denmark and the hosts have qualified. And

:09:43. > :09:56.penalties for Germany see them through. They beat Russia. And Italy

:09:57. > :09:59.scored two goals. And able late goal gave Italy a first win in the

:10:00. > :10:02.tournament. But Germany and Sweden finish in the top two places. Thank

:10:03. > :10:05.you very much. Europe has been hit with an array

:10:06. > :10:10.of extreme weather events. From fires in France

:10:11. > :10:12.to droughts in Italy - we'll talk to the BBC Weather team

:10:13. > :10:28.shortly about what's behind it. Nearly half a million troops were

:10:29. > :10:31.killed or injured. The Battle of Passchendaele saw

:10:32. > :10:34.the British army launch a series of failed assaults against German

:10:35. > :10:38.forces during the First World War Today, an art installation made

:10:39. > :10:41.to honour the victims was unveiled. Over the top and into the unknown,

:10:42. > :10:46.this was the Battle of Passchendaele, one

:10:47. > :10:48.of the deadliest episodes Today, nearly 100 years on,

:10:49. > :10:56.a specially commissioned sculpture Rebecca's great-grandfather,

:10:57. > :11:04.Harry Moorhouse, and his son, They were both in the same battalion

:11:05. > :11:09.and when Ronald was wounded, the son, the father set out

:11:10. > :11:16.to find a doctor. He was insistent that he would

:11:17. > :11:18.get some help for him he was shot as he went out

:11:19. > :11:22.to find the doctor. So it was all a hideous

:11:23. > :11:30.waste of life. The battle raged for

:11:31. > :11:32.over three months. 500,000 people were wounded

:11:33. > :11:34.or lost their lives. The Battle of Passchendaele was one

:11:35. > :11:40.of the biggest and bloodiest battles It's important because it shows how

:11:41. > :11:43.intense and appalling 100 years ago. We should remember

:11:44. > :11:52.that. It was one of the darkest

:11:53. > :11:54.years in British history. Constant driving rain turned

:11:55. > :11:57.the battlefield into a sea of mud, which drowned

:11:58. > :12:01.many of the men fighting there. It is made from material taken from

:12:02. > :12:08.Flanders Field. The sculpture is to remember the men

:12:09. > :12:11.who died and their bravery. It's not the only way Passchendaele

:12:12. > :12:13.is being remembered. To help the next generation

:12:14. > :12:15.understand the brutality of the battle, the British Legion

:12:16. > :12:18.has created these 360-degree videos. Like these cadets, they want

:12:19. > :12:20.the public to download So you get a lot more respect

:12:21. > :12:27.for how horrific it must have been. All the effects are so much more

:12:28. > :12:30.real, like the explosions It definitely gives depth

:12:31. > :12:36.to the knowledge you're gaining. You get to see lots of

:12:37. > :12:38.different bits around you. Also, the way the information

:12:39. > :12:50.is given to you, you take The mud soldier will be worn away

:12:51. > :12:54.by rain, falling to the air. But the hope is, the memories

:12:55. > :12:56.it invokes will not This is Outside Source,

:12:57. > :13:07.live from the BBC Newsroom. Donald Trump has taken

:13:08. > :13:11.the unusual step of publicly attacking his own Attorney General

:13:12. > :13:17.on Twitter, calling him 'weak' for failing to investigate

:13:18. > :13:22.Hillary Clinton properly, It's summer across Europe

:13:23. > :13:24.at the moment, but there's This is the scene in Provence,

:13:25. > :13:32.in south-eastern France, where firefighters have been

:13:33. > :13:34.tackling the spread of forest fires across the region -

:13:35. > :13:36.caused by unusually hot, Moving east to Romania,

:13:37. > :13:42.and it's too much rain which has A storm surge swept down dry river

:13:43. > :13:46.beds, carrying debris downstream. Low rainfall is the problem

:13:47. > :13:54.in the area in and around Rome. Authorities at the Vatican have

:13:55. > :13:57.turned off more than 100 fountains, Suffocating summer heat and two

:13:58. > :14:01.years of lower-than-average rainfall has also decimated olive crops

:14:02. > :14:03.and is forcing the Italian capital to consider the prospect

:14:04. > :14:12.of water rationing. BBC Weather's Ben Rich explained

:14:13. > :14:26.to me the reasons behind Some are is gripping hard across

:14:27. > :14:29.some parts of Europe. We have seen extremely high temperatures. Spain

:14:30. > :14:35.had its highest temperature recorded and a couple of days ago in Sicily,

:14:36. > :14:39.we had a temperature close to 43 Celsius. And widely across Southern

:14:40. > :14:44.areas, temperatures into the 40s. That heat is getting sucked up into

:14:45. > :14:49.an area of low pressure which is currently sitting across central

:14:50. > :14:54.areas of the continent. You mentioned the rain in Romania, also

:14:55. > :14:58.in Germany today. Some places seem up to 100 millimetres. This is the

:14:59. > :15:02.forecast for Wednesday, you can see the Baltic states and particularly

:15:03. > :15:07.Germany, the rain keeps coming. A lot of water in a short space of

:15:08. > :15:11.time, thunder, lightning could cause traffic problems and flush flooding.

:15:12. > :15:20.Italy has not had enough rain, Rome has had two years of low average

:15:21. > :15:24.rainfall, and the only showers... Not the persistent rain needed. And

:15:25. > :15:30.they were clearer way. And what is the outlook for those areas? In

:15:31. > :15:36.Italy, on the face of it, improving story. But they could do with the

:15:37. > :15:40.rain, it is largely dry. Further showers and storms into Germany and

:15:41. > :15:45.Central Europe. And South Eastern Europe for a time, so we could see

:15:46. > :15:48.more localised flooding. And wildfires in Southern France and

:15:49. > :15:51.Corsica. Strong winds for the next couple of days, they will ease, but

:15:52. > :15:54.the outlook remains largely dry. Tens of thousands of illegal workers

:15:55. > :15:56.face forcible deportation in Saudi Arabia from today,

:15:57. > :15:59.following the end of an amnesty Ethiopians are among the largest

:16:00. > :16:09.group of illegal labourers, and the deadline had been extended

:16:10. > :16:11.after an appeal by their government. Emmanuel Igunza has

:16:12. > :16:23.the story in Addis Ababa. This has been the day seen at the

:16:24. > :16:27.airport in the capital Addis Ababa over the past few months. Hundreds

:16:28. > :16:31.of Ethiopians back home from Saudi Arabia where they have been living

:16:32. > :16:36.and working illegally. These are part of at least 400,000 Ethiopians

:16:37. > :16:41.it is believed had been working without proper documentation as

:16:42. > :16:44.domestic workers are in the transport and construction

:16:45. > :16:48.industries. They have taken advantage of a Saudi government

:16:49. > :16:51.amnesty to life without prosecution. Among them is this 20-year-old who

:16:52. > :16:57.has been there for the last five years. But with no family back in

:16:58. > :17:03.Ethiopia, it is a mixture of relief, regret as she plans for life here. I

:17:04. > :17:06.was a domestic worker in Saudi Arabia but life was really tough. I

:17:07. > :17:12.could not work all the time because they did not have the proper

:17:13. > :17:14.documentation. I was not as comfortable, I had no comfortable

:17:15. > :17:23.freedom to move around. One can never be in peace there. In much --

:17:24. > :17:27.in March, Saudi announced it would rid the country of illegal workers,

:17:28. > :17:31.targeting more than 1 million people who it says do not have the right

:17:32. > :17:35.papers. Those who take up the amnesty offer will avoid penalties

:17:36. > :17:38.and imprisonment and be allowed to return to Saudi Arabia if they

:17:39. > :17:42.acquire the right permits. So far, only half the people targeted have

:17:43. > :17:47.left Saudi Arabia and countries like Ghana, Kenya and Ethiopia have been

:17:48. > :17:50.helping citizens to leave the country in fear of what happened

:17:51. > :17:53.three years ago when Saudi authorities clashed with illegal

:17:54. > :17:57.workers as they tried to deport them. It is such concerns for their

:17:58. > :18:02.citizens that have made the Cuban government promised to set up

:18:03. > :18:06.businesses if they return home. The national airline has also waived

:18:07. > :18:12.part of the airfare for those who cannot afford it. We are really very

:18:13. > :18:18.much worried about the consequences that they face after this extended

:18:19. > :18:27.hermit ends. Because we know that the Saudi government is committed to

:18:28. > :18:31.the action that it wants to take. They will be imprisoned and we do

:18:32. > :18:35.not want our citizens to face unnecessary imprisonment and also

:18:36. > :18:42.suffer any physical harm or humiliation. But Ethiopia is already

:18:43. > :18:47.facing high unemployment rates that have led to violent protests and it

:18:48. > :18:48.remains the scene if such assurances can tempt people back to their

:18:49. > :18:53.homeland. -- it remains to be seen. On Monday evening,

:18:54. > :18:54.Donald Trump addressed the Boy Scouts Jamboree in West

:18:55. > :18:56.Virginia. It's a tradition US Presidents have

:18:57. > :18:58.followed for 80 years. Before the event, organisers put out

:18:59. > :19:03.a warning to the scouts that chants of certain phrases like "build

:19:04. > :19:06.the wall" and "lock her up" are considered divisive

:19:07. > :19:09.and may cause friction. But it's the President,

:19:10. > :19:11.not the crowd, that's angered a lot of people -

:19:12. > :19:15.with Mr Trump giving a high politicised speech

:19:16. > :19:17.to the 40,000-strong crowd, Donald Trump said he didn't

:19:18. > :19:22.want to talk about politics, but then brought up the ObamaCare

:19:23. > :19:37.vote early on. By the way, you are going to get the

:19:38. > :19:48.vote? He had better get them! He had better get them! Otherwise, I will

:19:49. > :19:54.say, you are fired! By the way, what do you think the chances are that

:19:55. > :20:00.this incredible massive crowd is going to be shown on television

:20:01. > :20:07.tonight? 1%, or zero? The fake media will say, President Trump... You

:20:08. > :20:17.know what this is. President Trump spoke before a small crowd of Boy

:20:18. > :20:25.Scouts today. That is some crowd! Fake media, fake news. You know, I

:20:26. > :20:30.go to Washington and I see all these politicians and I see the swamp and

:20:31. > :20:35.it is not a good place. In fact, today, I said, we ought to change it

:20:36. > :20:41.from the word swamp to the word cesspool or perhaps to the word

:20:42. > :20:47.sewer, but it is not good! Not good. By the way, just a question. Did

:20:48. > :20:58.President Obama ever come to a Jamboree?

:20:59. > :21:04.Barack Obama did address a Jamboree via video link seven years ago and

:21:05. > :21:10.he is a former Boy Scout, unlike Trump. A lot of parents were fuming

:21:11. > :21:21.because the Scouts pride themselves on being nonpartisan and they took

:21:22. > :21:22.to social media. This is one, but there were also plenty of

:21:23. > :21:37.supporters. In response, the Boy Scouts of

:21:38. > :21:48.America Association issued a statement saying the... That was

:21:49. > :21:57.last night. That was in Virginia. Tonight, President Trump is in, can

:21:58. > :22:03.we show you? Or higher. That is for a rally, in a state he has a lot of

:22:04. > :22:11.support. Winning it in the election, although his approval rating overall

:22:12. > :22:12.sets at just 38.9% in Ohio. Let's go now to Ohio.

:22:13. > :22:26.These are the types of events that Trump loves. He is able to control

:22:27. > :22:29.his message here and he knows he will get prime-time viewing on

:22:30. > :22:33.American television and he is able to do a health check on his

:22:34. > :22:38.presidency. These voters were crucial to his win in the election

:22:39. > :22:41.and it is almost a symbol for other similar Midwest states in the

:22:42. > :22:46.country. So when he comes here, he wants to make sure he still has

:22:47. > :22:51.support of those voters. Winning on a very populist message. So he wants

:22:52. > :22:55.to make sure while he is getting hammered in Washington, six months

:22:56. > :22:59.into his administration without a single legislative agenda and talk

:23:00. > :23:02.about possible ties with his administration to Russia, that here,

:23:03. > :23:07.the people believe and trust him to still run the country. I spoke to

:23:08. > :23:10.voters today and they very much still stand behind the President

:23:11. > :23:14.despite his low approval ratings. So this is something the President

:23:15. > :23:18.loves to do, to get out of Washington, to get to these events

:23:19. > :23:21.with people screaming and enjoying his working of the crowd, and it

:23:22. > :23:26.reminds the people who voted for him that he still hears them and he is

:23:27. > :23:30.still their President, following through on an agenda to make their

:23:31. > :23:34.lives better. We spent a lot of the first part of the programme focusing

:23:35. > :23:39.on what is going on in Washington and the Troubles of the Trump

:23:40. > :23:43.Administration and the issues today. The Attorney General, the vote on

:23:44. > :23:46.Russian sanctions and the problems with health care reform. Is that on

:23:47. > :23:52.the minds of the people you speak to? To be honest, when you speak to

:23:53. > :23:58.people, I spoke to several Trump supporters outside this rally and

:23:59. > :24:01.they are staunch Trump supporters, and they were very dismissive. They

:24:02. > :24:06.said this is just news from fake media. In terms of staff changes, or

:24:07. > :24:11.his attacks on the Attorney General, they say the President has the right

:24:12. > :24:15.to fine tune his staff if it does not work, taking the approach of him

:24:16. > :24:19.being a CEO of the governed. With Russia, they were very passionate,

:24:20. > :24:23.they said they voted for Donald Trump and nobody can say Russia

:24:24. > :24:28.helped this President, the people voted for him. They took that very

:24:29. > :24:31.seriously and said it is the fake media going with Donald Trump's

:24:32. > :24:36.message. So they believe the President on that. It was

:24:37. > :24:42.incredible. On health care, a lot of people said the Republicans want to

:24:43. > :24:45.turn this country into, the Democrats, into a socialist projects

:24:46. > :24:50.to give health care away. They did not know the details of the plan

:24:51. > :24:54.Republicans are putting forward, they stand behind the President and

:24:55. > :24:57.trust has plans to push health care through to benefit them, so still

:24:58. > :25:01.very much a supportive crowd here. Thank you very much. We will be back
