:00:12. > :00:23.Hello, this is Outside Source. Hundreds of people have died in
:00:24. > :00:30.flooding and landslides in Sierra Leone. We are trying to sort the
:00:31. > :00:33.corpses out, more corpses have them brought in from different parts of
:00:34. > :00:39.the city. This is a disaster which even by the reckoning of the head of
:00:40. > :00:44.this mortuary is unprecedented. Here, a future without Borders. The
:00:45. > :00:49.Government pushes for a friction is trade deal to help businesses switch
:00:50. > :01:08.into a poster Brexit future. And you can get in touch with our hash tag.
:01:09. > :01:14.Welcome to the programme. The UK government has published proposals
:01:15. > :01:17.for how trade might work between the UK and the rest of the European
:01:18. > :01:24.Union after Brexit. Fair to say there have been mixed reviews. This
:01:25. > :01:26.from the head of politics .co .uk, talking about a fantasyland of
:01:27. > :01:32.desperation and muddled thinking. On the other hand, Scottish Chambers, a
:01:33. > :01:44.business that that in Scotland, talks about a welcome first step.
:01:45. > :01:51.Let's see you the Brexit secretary, David Davis, and why he thinks these
:01:52. > :01:57.proposals should be accepted. It is in their interests. BMW do not want
:01:58. > :02:02.to have a Customs border that is going to slow down their sales or
:02:03. > :02:06.add costs. Siemens are not going to want to do that. The port of
:02:07. > :02:14.Rotterdam will want to have an official operator -- have an
:02:15. > :02:17.efficient operation. You can find the full paper online if you want to
:02:18. > :02:22.go through the details. Some of the key points. At the moment, the UK is
:02:23. > :02:28.in a customs union with other EU members. They are subject to the
:02:29. > :02:32.same tax wherever they enter the EU, but then they can move fairly freely
:02:33. > :02:37.between member states. The paper says that for the UK wants is a
:02:38. > :02:42.temporary customs union Gerrie Nel transition period after we leave the
:02:43. > :02:48.European Union in March 20 19. During this period, it would also
:02:49. > :02:51.expect to negotiate its own international trade deals, something
:02:52. > :02:57.it cannot do as a customs union member. The paper sets out two
:02:58. > :03:03.proposals for after the transition period. The first is a new
:03:04. > :03:07.partnership with the EU which would involve no border checks at all. I
:03:08. > :03:12.have asked Chris Morris, how reality check correspondent if that would be
:03:13. > :03:17.possible. It is an interesting question because there is no model
:03:18. > :03:20.for this anywhere else in the world. The only way you have no custom
:03:21. > :03:23.checks at all is to be part of a customs union, exacting what the
:03:24. > :03:29.knighted kingdom is planning to leave. There is no precedent for it.
:03:30. > :03:37.The British argument is that British companies do better when there is no
:03:38. > :03:43.barrier to trade with Europe, but so the European companies. It is in all
:03:44. > :03:46.other interests. The trouble is that other countries are saying, you
:03:47. > :03:51.cannot have the benefits of being in the union like no carrots at all,
:03:52. > :04:03.but not some of the disposable at ease with the -- no tariffs at all.
:04:04. > :04:06.It is the UK government tried to have its cake and eat it once again?
:04:07. > :04:11.There is grim determination on the other side of the channel that that
:04:12. > :04:17.will not be allowed. Let's look at proposal two. They would be minimal
:04:18. > :04:21.customs checks between the UN the UK for the least possible disruption at
:04:22. > :04:28.ports and airports. Let's reality check that option. A lot of the
:04:29. > :04:34.technology is there. You could have things like numberplate recognition,
:04:35. > :04:38.things like automatic electronic certification of authorised traders.
:04:39. > :04:41.The trouble is, putting in the infrastructure to get all of this
:04:42. > :04:45.done will take years as it will not have do just be put in place at
:04:46. > :04:51.British ports but in the European Union as well, like France, Belgium
:04:52. > :04:56.and Ireland. If you want to prepare for that in two or three years, you
:04:57. > :05:01.will be want to be starting that work now. There is not that much
:05:02. > :05:04.incentive for other countries to change their procedures at the
:05:05. > :05:08.airport is just to make things easier for the United Kingdom.
:05:09. > :05:11.Again, there is goodwill on both sides to have a good relationship in
:05:12. > :05:16.the future but the details are problematic. The EU response to the
:05:17. > :05:22.Government's paper has been swift and fairly straightforward. Here is
:05:23. > :05:36.the European Parliament's chief to go to later, he says it is a
:05:37. > :05:39.fantasy. He is Chris again on how realistic the British government's
:05:40. > :05:45.proposals are if they don't have EU support. A lot of what PE you want
:05:46. > :05:50.will be hard to achieve. They called it a fantasy. There are others who
:05:51. > :05:54.say, what you are trying to do is take the bits you want and ignore
:05:55. > :06:00.the bits you don't. We will not accept that that will happen. On the
:06:01. > :06:03.other hand, there is also pressure from Leave campaigners in the United
:06:04. > :06:08.Kingdom that the UK is going too far, that is being defeatist. That
:06:09. > :06:13.is the Government's problem, there is pressure to go for a more extreme
:06:14. > :06:17.version of Brexit from Leave campaigners, but a difficult
:06:18. > :06:22.relationship and negotiation to be had with the rest of the EU, saying,
:06:23. > :06:26.you have got to understand there is no such thing as completely
:06:27. > :06:29.frictionless trade if you are planning to leave the single market
:06:30. > :06:35.and the customs union. There has to be compromise in there somewhere but
:06:36. > :06:38.the idea that the UK can essentially say to its companies, everything
:06:39. > :06:42.will be as good as it was before minus the add bits, I don't think
:06:43. > :06:48.that will work. -- minus the bad bits. We have been
:06:49. > :06:53.talking a lot about Donald Trump this hour, another captain of
:06:54. > :07:03.industry has abandoned him. They become the fourth executive to step
:07:04. > :07:10.down after the events in Charlottesville. Are we seeing
:07:11. > :07:15.corporate America taking a stand? Let's talk to Samir Hussein, who is
:07:16. > :07:20.in New York. What is going on? It is becoming a pattern.
:07:21. > :07:24.Indeed. It is pretty significant when you see big American businesses
:07:25. > :07:30.standing up and saying, we do not want to be part of the President's
:07:31. > :07:34.Council. They are saying they are trying to distance themselves from
:07:35. > :07:38.the American president. In the last few hours, we have seen an internal
:07:39. > :07:48.e-mail released to the employees of Walmart on Monday. In that, it the
:07:49. > :07:51.CEO went further than many others did and named president Trump
:07:52. > :07:55.specifically in this memo. I will highlight a bit of it. As he watched
:07:56. > :08:00.the event and the response from president Trump over the weekend, we
:08:01. > :08:04.feel that he missed a critical opportunity to help bring our
:08:05. > :08:09.country together. It is a real sign that there are limits to what
:08:10. > :08:12.corporate America will take and in this move by these corporations,
:08:13. > :08:18.this is clearly the line for some of them. In the news conference, we
:08:19. > :08:22.were both listening to that there, with Donald Trump, his answer was
:08:23. > :08:28.essentially jobs, jobs, jobs. He says he's bringing back millions of
:08:29. > :08:31.jobs. Fact check that for us. He certainly wants to be bringing back
:08:32. > :08:38.millions of jobs. If you look at the latest jobs numbers, the employment
:08:39. > :08:41.snapshot looks pretty good. But there is a question about whether
:08:42. > :08:47.that has to do anything the president has done or whether that
:08:48. > :08:52.was actually a result of the past decisions made by President Obama.
:08:53. > :08:54.Going forward, if we see more increases to jobs, we could probably
:08:55. > :08:59.start crediting some of that with president Trump. In terms of the
:09:00. > :09:07.millions of jobs he was to create, we have not seen those as yet.
:09:08. > :09:14.Another story that is probably on Donald Trump's mind, North Korea.
:09:15. > :09:21.According to its state media, this is Kim Jong-un reviewing the plans
:09:22. > :09:29.to fire missiles in the waters around Guam. They now say they are
:09:30. > :09:38.holding off on that plan. He said he was ready for the impending fire
:09:39. > :09:42.around Guam. He also said... He would wait and watch a film or the
:09:43. > :09:46.foolish and stupid conduct of the Yankees before making a decision.
:09:47. > :09:56.Here is the response of Guam's governor. We are just getting news
:09:57. > :10:01.today that the plan has been descended. He has still made
:10:02. > :10:07.bellicose statements about the me do it, but he has withheld from
:10:08. > :10:12.doing... Basically his statement is, we will withhold, we will not make
:10:13. > :10:16.any missile tests towards this area. A lot of it has to do with some of
:10:17. > :10:21.the strong statements not only made by our president but also by the
:10:22. > :10:31.collective statements made by Secretary Tillotson. So a sense of
:10:32. > :10:38.cautious relief. What about South Korea? There was a rally calling for
:10:39. > :10:45.a peaceful solution to the crisis. Our reporter spoke to some of them.
:10:46. > :10:49.This truck has the words, no war, no Trump. America is South Korea's most
:10:50. > :10:52.important protector. Some of the people here think that the current
:10:53. > :11:04.president is causing more problems than he is helping to solve. He is
:11:05. > :11:10.making many South Koreans angry. His action and policy is not good for
:11:11. > :11:17.many Americans. TRANSLATION: August 15 is a day when
:11:18. > :11:24.we were freed from Japan. We are supposed to maintain peace as a
:11:25. > :11:28.country, but president Trump has said he is way too risque war, so
:11:29. > :11:35.people gather here today to call for peace on the Korean peninsular. Kim
:11:36. > :11:43.Jong-un's softening stance comes after China brought in heavier
:11:44. > :11:48.sanctions, ceasing imports from North Korea. At the same time, the
:11:49. > :11:59.US president has ordered a trade probe into China's alleged theft of
:12:00. > :12:04.intellectual property from America. Donald Trump himself has in the past
:12:05. > :12:09.connected the cue issues, suggesting that if China wants a good deal from
:12:10. > :12:15.the United States on trade, it needs to do more to help on those
:12:16. > :12:20.diplomatic foreign policy issues. But signing this memorandum,
:12:21. > :12:26.possibly setting in train this investigation that could lead to
:12:27. > :12:31.unilateral sanctions, the president said it was all about trade. This is
:12:32. > :12:38.him delivering on campaign promises to stand up for US jobs and in
:12:39. > :12:44.particular to hold China to account. Stay with us, still to come in
:12:45. > :12:48.sport. After her drugs ban, a return to grand slam tennis for Maria
:12:49. > :12:57.Sharapova. The Russian gets a wild card to the US open.
:12:58. > :13:04.Commuters are to face the biggest increase in rail fares for four
:13:05. > :13:07.years as inflation hits 3.6%. The increases will hit season tickets,
:13:08. > :13:23.so-called any time tickets and some off-peak fares from next January.
:13:24. > :13:28.Quick coffee, a little treat for the cat, and catch the train. Rebecca's
:13:29. > :13:35.commute from Taunton to Bristol costs ?3500 a year. It is due to go
:13:36. > :13:41.up by ?130 next year, as most commuters face a 3.6% price rise.
:13:42. > :13:45.Does this erosion of your real wealth that is happening to an awful
:13:46. > :13:48.lot of people, wage will find that your salary may have gone up but
:13:49. > :13:54.everything else is going up so much faster and so much more that, year
:13:55. > :13:59.on year, we are worse off. It is not the train companies who said half of
:14:00. > :14:02.our rail fares, it is the Government. They have been putting
:14:03. > :14:06.the fares up for years as they want to change who pays for the railways.
:14:07. > :14:10.It is all part of a band to shift the financial burden away from
:14:11. > :14:15.taxpayers, most of whom don't commute on trains, and onto
:14:16. > :14:22.passengers. There is used to account for about half the cost of running
:14:23. > :14:26.our trains. That has risen to 65%. Across Britain, people are facing
:14:27. > :14:30.tough choices. If it goes on, I would be able to afford to go to
:14:31. > :14:37.work, I have to get the car because it is cheaper. I work in the public
:14:38. > :14:40.sector, might pay rises maximum 1%, it is making us worse off when they
:14:41. > :14:44.rise like that. I would not mind if they were better quality carriages,
:14:45. > :14:54.but they are pretty tatty these days. Campaigners have criticised
:14:55. > :15:04.the use of RBI indexes, which are usually higher. The costs are going
:15:05. > :15:09.up in line with that inflation. Ministers argue that the money is
:15:10. > :15:14.needed to pay for a ?40 billion upgrade to the network. A lot of it
:15:15. > :15:19.is still Victorian and struggling to cope with record numbers of
:15:20. > :15:22.passengers. Critics claim fares have outstripped wages for years and say
:15:23. > :15:24.it is time for a price freeze. The Government could still change its
:15:25. > :15:45.mind in the autumn budget. You are watching outside source. Our
:15:46. > :15:48.lead story. At least for Hunderby Blaenau dead following a landslide
:15:49. > :15:56.and flooding in Sierra Leone. The mother killed could rise much
:15:57. > :15:59.higher, and thousands of people have been left homeless.
:16:00. > :16:06.These are the stories making the news around the BBC. Archaeologists
:16:07. > :16:14.in Egypt have discovered three tombs dating back thousands of years. They
:16:15. > :16:21.contained stone carvings and fragments, that is BBC Arabic. Grace
:16:22. > :16:27.Mugabe has failed to appear in a court after being accused of
:16:28. > :16:31.assaulting a woman in Johannesburg. Police initially said they did not
:16:32. > :16:36.die where she was, but it is believed she went back to her home
:16:37. > :16:40.country. Most of our most watched videos comes from North Carolina,
:16:41. > :16:43.where protesters have pulled down a proslavery monument. This comes
:16:44. > :16:51.after plans to pull down a similar statue in Virginia caused violent
:16:52. > :16:55.riots over the weekend. Time for the sport now. We will go
:16:56. > :17:02.straight to the BBC Sport Centre with news about Maria Sharapova. She
:17:03. > :17:13.is set to play in her first grand slam since her drugs ban.
:17:14. > :17:20.Her first wild card since her 15 month drug ban. She pulled out of
:17:21. > :17:31.qualifying for Wimbledon after and injury. She is no stranger to
:17:32. > :17:37.Flushing Meadows. She became the world another one for the first time
:17:38. > :17:40.act in August 2005, and that gets under way in two weeks' time.
:17:41. > :17:46.We have a number of teams fighting it out for places in the Champions
:17:47. > :17:52.League group stage. One of interest to many people
:17:53. > :17:58.around the world is Liverpool, who will be playing Hockenheim next
:17:59. > :18:01.Wednesday. They had all the running in the first few minutes of the
:18:02. > :18:10.game. They could not convert that, a poor penalty. Liverpool scored in
:18:11. > :18:11.the 35th minute. Their opponents had their chances, could not put the
:18:12. > :18:32.ball in the net. Liverpool then scored a second,
:18:33. > :18:35.before the Germans got one back. Exciting times. The website is the
:18:36. > :18:43.way to go for all those results. Thank you. Are we entering a new era
:18:44. > :18:51.of Arctic voyages? An exhibition to the North Pole by a yacht has just
:18:52. > :18:55.set off from Alaska. They are travelling 5500 kilometres, trying
:18:56. > :19:03.to get around to the geographic North Pole. It is being led by a
:19:04. > :19:08.British explorer. For the first time in human history,
:19:09. > :19:15.possibly for 100,000 years, it is now possible to sail ships into this
:19:16. > :19:21.area. What this means is the wildlife living in the area are now
:19:22. > :19:25.vulnerable. That was then speaking before they said. We can show you
:19:26. > :19:28.where the boats are now, because they are showing live update. That
:19:29. > :19:31.is where they have got to. Some pictures for you. They are
:19:32. > :19:39.travelling on two boats, ten crew and a dog, and they are sailing. The
:19:40. > :19:44.melting of the sea ice is making this possible. In the last 85 years,
:19:45. > :19:49.the figure is more than one third of the area of sea ice has gone. Once
:19:50. > :19:54.inaccessible waters are opening up. This is not the first time that
:19:55. > :20:01.explorer has tried to get to the North Pole. He made a trip on foot,
:20:02. > :20:06.but he sped a lot of time in the water and the ice. I have to tell
:20:07. > :20:11.you from talking to them, so far, the weather has been fairly cruel. I
:20:12. > :20:17.caught up with the skipper and asked him how the crew were feeling.
:20:18. > :20:22.Pretty much the whole crew are laying in bed. The sea conditions
:20:23. > :20:29.are quite rough at the moment. A couple of them feel quite ill at the
:20:30. > :20:37.moment. So it is worse than you expected? Yes, the initial weather
:20:38. > :20:42.forecast showed that we were not going to have much wind in the first
:20:43. > :20:49.24 hours. There was quite a large storm earlier in the week, over the
:20:50. > :21:01.weekend. I think we still have some rigid jewel waves from that storm.
:21:02. > :21:09.It is quite rough. We are currently using a combination of sale and
:21:10. > :21:14.engine to make progress stopped but it's quite bumpy at the moment. Of
:21:15. > :21:21.course, you're the first crew to try to do this, do take yachts up to the
:21:22. > :21:29.North Pole. How are you protecting the votes? First of all, by being
:21:30. > :21:39.very careful. The ice is very dangerous. It can drift away with
:21:40. > :21:42.the win. If there is too much in front of the boat or beside the
:21:43. > :21:48.boat, there is a risk of getting crushed. So we are keeping a close
:21:49. > :21:57.eye on the satellite images to see where the ices. We are keeping a
:21:58. > :22:02.close eye on the weather. We are not going to take unnecessary risks. The
:22:03. > :22:14.main objective of the Arctic mission is to do scientific research in the
:22:15. > :22:18.open water and at the ice age. Getting to this North is secondary
:22:19. > :22:23.to that. You might also be whale watching, seeing the larger forms of
:22:24. > :22:29.marine life as you go north? Absolutely. There is the potential
:22:30. > :22:40.that we see polar bears as we get closer to the sea ice, because they
:22:41. > :22:48.hunt from the ice age. We will potentially see seals, humpback
:22:49. > :22:57.whales, no walls, possibly beluga. There will be a large riots of sea
:22:58. > :23:04.mammals in the Arctic. Weigh less is known about the small living things
:23:05. > :23:07.that are down in the water. It sounds as though it could be really
:23:08. > :23:11.exciting. If you can get through the sea sickness and hold it together
:23:12. > :23:26.given the physical risks, this could be tremendous. Absolutely. The
:23:27. > :23:31.Arctic Ocean has had its own natural shield in place which is slowly
:23:32. > :23:38.disappearing. That makes the Arctic more on rubble but does give us a
:23:39. > :23:45.chance to look at what is going on in the waters under the ice. My crew
:23:46. > :23:52.want to ask you one final question, which is how the dog is. Is it
:23:53. > :23:57.surviving the sea sickness? The dog has seen better moments, but I don't
:23:58. > :24:01.think she is seasick at the moment. We will be checking in with the crew
:24:02. > :24:07.and the dog as they go through their voyage. Just time to remind you of
:24:08. > :24:10.the breaking news this hour. In the past hour, Donald Trump has been
:24:11. > :24:17.defending his response to the deadly protests at the weekend in
:24:18. > :24:21.Charlottesville in Virginia. At the noisy press conference, he said he
:24:22. > :24:27.did not make all of the facts when he made his comments. He blamed many
:24:28. > :24:30.sites. He also said that race relations had improved since he took
:24:31. > :24:36.office and would improve given the millions of jobs he intends to bring
:24:37. > :24:42.to the United States will. He talked about his strategist who has come
:24:43. > :24:53.under fire today. Calling Steve Bannon a good Pawson, he says what
:24:54. > :24:56.will happen to him. We will continue to follow that. Thank you for being
:24:57. > :25:08.with us. Hello there. Could an Atlantic
:25:09. > :25:10.hurricane
