:00:36. > :00:39.The President has explicitly condemned racism and racist

:00:40. > :00:44.violence, he was speaking two days after violence in Charlottesville

:00:45. > :00:52.that kills one person and injured 19 others. Racism is evil and those who

:00:53. > :00:57.cause violence are criminals and thugs including the KKK, neo-Nazis,

:00:58. > :01:02.white supremacists, and other heat groups that are repugnant to

:01:03. > :01:07.everything we hold dear as Americans. The President of South

:01:08. > :01:12.Korea, Moon Jae-in, says he is confident Donald Trump will act

:01:13. > :01:16.responsibly and over north Korea. It is 70 years since India and

:01:17. > :01:19.Pakistan became independent from Britain, we will speak to an Indian

:01:20. > :01:43.film director. Welcome to Outside Source. Our top

:01:44. > :01:47.story. The Red Cross says more than 200 people have been killed with

:01:48. > :01:52.many more are missing after landslides in Sierra Leone. This

:01:53. > :01:57.happened on the outskirts of the capital, Freetown, which has been

:01:58. > :02:01.hit by heavy rain in the last two days. It is understood the worst of

:02:02. > :02:08.the disaster happened in the full side region.

:02:09. > :02:11.Snatched video on a mobile phone shows a torrent of mud and water

:02:12. > :02:14.carrying away everything in its path.

:02:15. > :02:16.This driver risked his life on a bridge all but overwhelmed

:02:17. > :02:29.Freetown is an overcrowded coastal city. About 250 bodies have

:02:30. > :02:31.-- it has few defences against heavy rains.

:02:32. > :02:37.They come every year but not usually with quite such ferocity.

:02:38. > :02:44.The authorities fear there could be many more trapped in

:02:45. > :02:49.I went down to the spot myself and you could see people

:02:50. > :02:50.using their bare hands, pulling up corpses

:02:51. > :02:57.The road itself is a disaster area, the road is almost impassable.

:02:58. > :02:59.There are massive rocks and this area, called Mount Sugarloaf,

:03:00. > :03:02.caved in in the early hours of this morning and it has covered literally

:03:03. > :03:14.Hundreds of people are feared dead under the rubble.

:03:15. > :03:17.There are some ambulances parked here, but it is becoming a recovery

:03:18. > :03:22.The victims in Sierra Leone are among the world's poorest people.

:03:23. > :03:24.Survivors risking everything to salvage a few possessions,

:03:25. > :03:37.trying to hang on to whatever they can despite the rising water.

:03:38. > :03:46.The head of communications at Sierra Leone's Red Cross spoke to the BBC

:03:47. > :03:58.earlier and gave us an update. At the moment official figures,

:03:59. > :04:10.corroborated with the Ministry of health, is a total of 205 dead. The

:04:11. > :04:19.red cross as usual has been able to mobilise some resources, logistical

:04:20. > :04:27.resources, people, we have been able to deploy 60 volunteers and staff to

:04:28. > :04:31.all the affected communities today. Under mounting pressure over his

:04:32. > :04:35.failure to explicitly condemn the white supremacist group at the

:04:36. > :04:39.centre of the violence in Virginia on Saturday, Donald Trump has

:04:40. > :04:41.responded, he has held a news conference. Let us show you some of

:04:42. > :04:48.what he had to say. Racism is evil, and those who cause

:04:49. > :04:51.violence in its name are criminals and thugs,

:04:52. > :04:53.including the KKK, neo-Nazis, white supremacists and other hate

:04:54. > :04:55.groups that are repugnant to everything we hold

:04:56. > :04:58.dear as Americans. We are a nation founded on the truth

:04:59. > :05:05.that all of us are created equal. We are equal in the eyes

:05:06. > :05:08.of our Creator, we are equal under the law, and we are equal

:05:09. > :05:24.under our Constitution. Donald Trump significantly

:05:25. > :05:30.strengthening his condemnation of Saturday's violence, but the fallout

:05:31. > :05:37.has already started. A prominent ally of the pharmaceuticals -- eight

:05:38. > :05:51.boss of the pharmaceuticals company said he is stepping down. He said:

:05:52. > :06:03.After he had said that, there was a Tweet from Donald Trump:

:06:04. > :06:08.That was heavy. Just to recap what happened on

:06:09. > :06:12.Saturday that has led to all this reaction. Dozens were injured in

:06:13. > :06:17.violent clashes and a woman was killed when a car was rammed into

:06:18. > :06:30.opposition protesters. We are going to move on to show you the victim.

:06:31. > :06:41.One of her friends has been talking to us.

:06:42. > :06:45.Heather always spoke with so much conviction.

:06:46. > :06:47.Heather stood up for what she believed in.

:06:48. > :06:59.She just wanted everybody to be equal.

:07:00. > :07:16.This is 20-year-old James Alex feels, the man accused of killing

:07:17. > :07:23.Heather. First, their reaction to the words

:07:24. > :07:27.be heard from the President today. There has been sombre reaction but

:07:28. > :07:34.finally the President has said what people here have wanted him to say.

:07:35. > :07:38.When you speak to people here, including Heather's friend, she told

:07:39. > :07:42.me that what she wanted the President to do was renounce the

:07:43. > :07:47.heat that came to the streets of Charlottesville on Saturday. She

:07:48. > :07:51.believes this was a hate crime and it was domestic terrorism. The

:07:52. > :07:56.language that has come from the Trump administration has slowly ramp

:07:57. > :08:00.that's on Saturday, but it has taken three days. This is a community

:08:01. > :08:05.trying to come together meanwhile, around the loss of a 32-year-old

:08:06. > :08:09.woman who played such a prominent part here. When it comes to Donald

:08:10. > :08:16.Trump's language, it will be welcomed, but is it too little, too

:08:17. > :08:23.late? This is a President who has owned the past had the help of the

:08:24. > :08:31.so-called alt-right and that includes these white supremacists.

:08:32. > :08:36.Community leaders today say what he has said may not be enough.

:08:37. > :08:46.Is there still a sense of shock that you could see Nat C flags, civil war

:08:47. > :08:49.regalia on the streets of America on the 21st-century?

:08:50. > :08:56.When it comes to this rally, they have been promoting it for months,

:08:57. > :08:58.the KKK, white supremacists, neo-Nazis, and there have been

:08:59. > :09:05.skirmishes right across the site, and it is all about a Confederate

:09:06. > :09:10.statue of General Lee who fought on the proslavery side of the civil

:09:11. > :09:15.war. It is set for demolition. Civil rights activists have asked for this

:09:16. > :09:18.demolition. They want a fresh start or America, white supremacists

:09:19. > :09:22.believe this is getting rid of their history and heritage. There was an

:09:23. > :09:26.attempt to stop the march, to stop these white supremacists coming to

:09:27. > :09:31.this quite liberal tone and yet it was not stopped, they went ahead.

:09:32. > :09:36.There was some anger towards the organisers. A lot of anger towards

:09:37. > :09:40.those who came to these streets, and many people leave they came here to

:09:41. > :09:45.cause violence. There were swastikas. There were those giving

:09:46. > :09:55.natty suits, there were those in foods. Many believe it has no place

:09:56. > :10:03.here in modern America also -- there were those giving Nazi salutes.

:10:04. > :10:11.We will have eight report from Pakistan looking at the legacy of

:10:12. > :10:17.petition. A man has appeared in court in

:10:18. > :10:19.Norfolk charged with murdering a grandfather in Norfolk as he walked

:10:20. > :10:22.his dog. 23-year-old Alexander Palmer

:10:23. > :10:25.appeared via video link from police custody suite at Wyndham,

:10:26. > :10:28.some miles away from here, his first court appearance,

:10:29. > :10:33.after being charged in the early hours of this morning

:10:34. > :10:36.with the murder of Peter Wrighton, a 83-year-old who was out

:10:37. > :10:39.walking his dog on Saturday 5th He was a retired BT engineer

:10:40. > :10:45.from a local village, and his body was found in heathland

:10:46. > :10:49.very close to a path. In a very brief hearing,

:10:50. > :10:54.no more than two minutes, Alexander Palmer, wearing

:10:55. > :11:02.what appeared to be a blue sweatshirt and grey trousers,

:11:03. > :11:06.he seemed to have some stubble, he spoke quite clearly

:11:07. > :11:08.to confirm his name, He gave his address

:11:09. > :11:25.as being in the village You are watching Outside Source live

:11:26. > :11:30.from the BBC newsroom. Hundreds of people are feared dead

:11:31. > :11:37.after a mudslide in Sierra Leone's capital, Freetown.

:11:38. > :11:41.Some stories making news across the BBC. The world health organisation

:11:42. > :11:47.says the number of suspected cases of cholera in Yemen has reached half

:11:48. > :11:53.a million. Nearly 2000 people have died in the outbreak since the end

:11:54. > :11:57.of April. A health spokesperson said nearly 500 new cases were being

:11:58. > :12:00.recorded every day. Former chess champion Garry Kasparov

:12:01. > :12:05.has come out of retirement for a one-off tournament in Missouri. He

:12:06. > :12:06.has been out of the game for 12 years after turning his hand to

:12:07. > :12:14.politics. He managed a draw on his return. And

:12:15. > :12:18.something you don't see every day, this 306 metre container ship has

:12:19. > :12:23.run aground off the course of Belgium, in doing so it is blocking

:12:24. > :12:27.shipping traffic in and out of Antwerp, the second largest

:12:28. > :12:35.container port in Europe. A large queue of vessels has already formed

:12:36. > :12:39.behind this. Burkina Faso has declared three days

:12:40. > :12:45.of national mourning after 18 people were killed at a Turkish restaurant.

:12:46. > :12:50.This happened overnight in the capital. We want to show you the

:12:51. > :12:54.moment that two men drove up to the restaurant and opened fire on people

:12:55. > :12:58.sitting on the terrace. The President has condemned what he cold

:12:59. > :13:03.the despicable and cowardly terrorist attack. Authorities say

:13:04. > :13:10.the two attackers were killed. This region has already had its

:13:11. > :13:20.share of terrorist groups turning up at one time or another.

:13:21. > :13:27.What does this mean for Burkina Faso?

:13:28. > :13:34.By Kuyt for joining us on Outside Source. Do we have any idea who that

:13:35. > :13:39.gun men are? So far we know that gun men came in

:13:40. > :13:48.on motorbikes and carried out the attack. We know that two of the

:13:49. > :13:54.attackers died. The unknown variable is who did the attack. Then Burkina

:13:55. > :14:00.Faso people are wondering who did the attack. They have no idea. This

:14:01. > :14:10.brings to mind what happened in the country in January, where gunmen...

:14:11. > :14:17.Not far away. Within two years the country has experienced two attacks,

:14:18. > :14:28.in January people were killed in a similar attack, Al-Qaeda claims that

:14:29. > :14:33.attack. Officials are not sure if it was Al-Qaeda that carried out the

:14:34. > :14:38.attack. But they have a hint that they might have carried out this

:14:39. > :14:43.attack. What can Government do? I though governments in the region

:14:44. > :14:46.have been talking about how to prevent this. That is very little

:14:47. > :14:56.they can do to prevent these attacks. I was in Coutinho Vassell

:14:57. > :15:06.last month -- in Burkina Faso last month. They have stepped up checks

:15:07. > :15:13.on the roads. They need to be careful who comes in and who goes

:15:14. > :15:18.out because of security. Making sure that an attack like this will not

:15:19. > :15:21.happen. Despite all of these measures it did happen. What can

:15:22. > :15:27.they do to prevent this? Very little. As is the case almost

:15:28. > :15:33.everywhere. But critics of the Government are saying that other

:15:34. > :15:39.than the last couple of weeks that Government and Unionists have been

:15:40. > :15:47.bickering over issues of safety, and then the lowered their guard. And

:15:48. > :15:53.the gunmen took the opportunity, almost exactly where they were one

:15:54. > :15:59.year ago. Thank you for bringing us up to date.

:16:00. > :16:19.Another story, this time from tenure, the election campaign. --

:16:20. > :16:25.this time from Kenya. Raila Odinga has been telling people

:16:26. > :16:30.to stay away from work. Other people are saying it is time

:16:31. > :16:35.to move on. Our reporter has this. Many

:16:36. > :16:39.businesses here have remained closed for almost one week and this has

:16:40. > :16:44.been because of the anxiety and tension caused by the results of the

:16:45. > :16:48.presidential election. In some parts we have seen running battles between

:16:49. > :16:57.supporters of opposition leader Raila Odinga and the police and

:16:58. > :17:01.traders are weary of security. But today, more activity, public

:17:02. > :17:07.transport getting out of the city into the capital and other parts of

:17:08. > :17:11.Western Kenya. Mixed reaction on the streets regarding that call by

:17:12. > :17:16.opposition leader Raila Odinga for people to boycott work today.

:17:17. > :17:22.Currently we are having kind of a strike. Most businesses are closed.

:17:23. > :17:27.But we hope that within the week they will start picking up. The only

:17:28. > :17:32.thing I want to express as my disappointed -- this appointment

:17:33. > :17:36.with the way the police handled the residence, the police are supposed

:17:37. > :17:42.to protect the people, they have a moral duty. The message we are

:17:43. > :17:47.getting from people on the streets is they want their normal life to

:17:48. > :17:51.resume but anxiety persists as supporters of the opposition leader

:17:52. > :17:59.awaits his message tomorrow regarding his next move.

:18:00. > :18:05.Time now for Outside Source business. And a story we have

:18:06. > :18:12.touched on already, the boss of a US pharmaceutical company resigning

:18:13. > :18:15.over the lack of response of President Trump to the

:18:16. > :18:23.Charlottesville violence. It followed biting criticism of the

:18:24. > :18:31.handling of that issue by the President. Other big US bosses have

:18:32. > :18:34.also condemned the violence. This is difficult for the business

:18:35. > :18:42.friendly President that Donald Trump says he is which it is an

:18:43. > :18:46.administration that has prided itself on being business friendly.

:18:47. > :18:49.They have made a big point about talking about tax reform,

:18:50. > :18:52.infrastructure reform, other policies that would be welcomed by

:18:53. > :18:57.the business community. A huge number of them have stepped up to be

:18:58. > :19:01.involved in some of the administration's business councils,

:19:02. > :19:06.whether strategic, manufacturing councils, to dry and look at how to

:19:07. > :19:10.create more jobs. What we see now is the chief executive officer of a

:19:11. > :19:14.pharmaceutical giant taking a position on events over the weekend

:19:15. > :19:21.and the response of the President to those events. He talked about having

:19:22. > :19:25.to step down from the council as a matter of personal conscience. The

:19:26. > :19:28.question now in boardrooms across America is what do other chief

:19:29. > :19:32.executive officers do? Are they in a position where they have to take a

:19:33. > :19:41.stand? We are starting to hear some responses. Many of the big names,

:19:42. > :19:47.General Electric, Pepsi, just to name a couple, condemning what they

:19:48. > :19:51.saw as violence by white supremacists, saying they are not in

:19:52. > :19:57.support of hatred and bigotry, but that being said, many of these firms

:19:58. > :20:00.also choosing to stay on board of these policy-making committees,

:20:01. > :20:06.saying they think they have a role to play, and for now are seeing with

:20:07. > :20:10.the President. It is usually a great opportunity to be able to have fifth

:20:11. > :20:17.year of the President, to go into the White House, to sit on one of

:20:18. > :20:21.these councils. Yes, Campbells soup, one of the companies on this council

:20:22. > :20:27.gave as an interesting statement, this is a consumer facing company

:20:28. > :20:30.that potentially could be subject to criticism, depending on how the

:20:31. > :20:35.public views their actions, what positions they take. They

:20:36. > :20:40.specifically came out and said, we think we can do more by being at the

:20:41. > :20:44.table, having played voice at the table, therefore they want to stay.

:20:45. > :20:53.We also heard from one of the unions coming forward, saying, they are on

:20:54. > :20:56.the manufacturing committee, they have not met match, they do not do

:20:57. > :21:01.what they do. We are still assessing how the business community is

:21:02. > :21:09.reacting, meantime investors are not to these, the pharmaceutical

:21:10. > :21:15.company's share price was up to be. One other business story. The value

:21:16. > :21:20.of the digital currency Bitcoin is surging, it is now trading at more

:21:21. > :21:25.than $4000 per piece, its value has quadrupled since the start of the

:21:26. > :21:28.year, it was created electronically, nor one controls the currency, but a

:21:29. > :21:33.lot of businesses including retailers and stores do except that,

:21:34. > :21:39.experts say its popularity is growing. In a couple of months there

:21:40. > :21:46.will be companies that will launch a credit card that will carry other

:21:47. > :21:53.currencies, you will be able to in theory spends bitcoin using your

:21:54. > :21:57.credit card. The film industry at the advent of the internet, the

:21:58. > :22:07.banking industry, incumbency does nothing, others see, they would

:22:08. > :22:10.hedge their bets. India and Pakistan are marking 70

:22:11. > :22:15.years of independence from Britain which came after nearly 200 years of

:22:16. > :22:19.colonial rule. A view of the pictures coming in from the usual

:22:20. > :22:26.today. These from Pakistan Vassell ablutions began at the stroke of

:22:27. > :22:37.midnight, Sunday night. -- from Pakistan where celebrations began at

:22:38. > :22:44.the stroke of midnight. We have got a fly-past by the

:22:45. > :22:48.Pakistan air force. It is now Independence Day, it is Tuesday in

:22:49. > :22:52.India, we will be showing more of that in our next edition of Outside

:22:53. > :22:56.Source. Let us remind you of what happened seventh decade ago. This is

:22:57. > :23:02.what the region that bike at the time. After months of political

:23:03. > :23:06.deadlock but agreed to divide the country in two, the state of

:23:07. > :23:11.Pakistan was created off to the West and East of India, triggering

:23:12. > :23:15.perhaps the biggest movement of people outside of war and famine

:23:16. > :23:25.that the world has ever seen. We think it was about 12 million people

:23:26. > :23:28.who became refugees, who fled the violence, communities targeting each

:23:29. > :23:31.other. 1 million people are thought to have died. We can no speak to

:23:32. > :23:40.somebody who was watching these events, a film director whose family

:23:41. > :23:43.went to partition. She has been attending a peace rally in India

:23:44. > :23:49.this evening. Thank you for joining us on Outside Source. Everybody has

:23:50. > :23:58.a personal story that you have said you feel you grew up in the shadow

:23:59. > :24:04.of partition. Yes, absolutely. My grandmother 70 years ago was living

:24:05. > :24:11.in her home with her five small children, and overnight virtually

:24:12. > :24:16.the violence started, and one day and Indian Army truck came and said,

:24:17. > :24:23.get on this track now, and she had to leave her home, and for three

:24:24. > :24:29.days she was on a train, could not get off, no food, no water, her milk

:24:30. > :24:34.dried up, her youngest child died of starvation. She was in a refugee

:24:35. > :24:42.camp for many months until finally my grandmother -- my grandfather

:24:43. > :24:50.actually found her. That is a personal experience of partition.

:24:51. > :24:56.All my ankles and and and no elderly -- all my uncles and ants are now

:24:57. > :25:18.elderly. -- and aunts are now elderly.

:25:19. > :25:28.I have been here doing promotions. Everywhere there is lots of flag

:25:29. > :25:36.weaving. But this evening I attended a candlelit vigil at the border,

:25:37. > :25:40.with this organisation, who look to promote peace between India and

:25:41. > :25:51.Pakistan, and it was a sobering event. The area was very heavy. I

:25:52. > :25:55.have been to that ceremony before which is very jingoistic, but today

:25:56. > :25:59.to be standing in the place of 70 years ago people were coming

:26:00. > :26:02.through... I am sorry, we had to leave it there as we are finishing

:26:03. > :26:15.the programme. Thank you for being with us on Outside Source.

:26:16. > :26:17.Our nightly look at the global weather.
