In Philippa Thomas, and this is outside source. A memorial for the

:00:13.:00:19.

woman who was killed when a car drove into her in the US town of

:00:20.:00:22.

Charlottesville. Heather Heyer's mother had this message stop whale.

:00:23.:00:31.

They tried to kill my daughter to shut her up. Guess what? You just

:00:32.:00:36.

magnified her. President Trump's apparent defence of the white

:00:37.:00:39.

supremacists who organised the rally Heather Heyer was protesting has led

:00:40.:00:46.

many senior business leaders to distance themselves from the White

:00:47.:00:49.

House. The UK Government has published plans for the border for

:00:50.:00:52.

the Northern Ireland and Republic of Ireland after Brexit. We will get

:00:53.:00:58.

into the details. Grief and anger in Freetown as the Sierra Leone

:00:59.:01:02.

authorities are blamed for hampering rescue efforts. At least 600 people

:01:03.:01:05.

are still missing after the mudslide. And he is taking one more

:01:06.:01:11.

shot as 007. Daniel Craig confirms he will be back as James bond. To

:01:12.:01:14.

get in touch, the hashtag is BBC OS. Welcome to outside source. If you

:01:15.:01:37.

were watching this time last night you would have seen Donald Trump

:01:38.:01:42.

deliver one of the most remarkable presidential news conferences in

:01:43.:01:46.

history. In an extremely robust exchange with journalists, Mr Trump

:01:47.:01:49.

said the white nationalists at the centre of the rally in

:01:50.:01:52.

Charlottesville at the weekend were only partly to blame for the ensuing

:01:53.:01:57.

and deadly violence. There has been some fierce criticism from

:01:58.:02:00.

politicians and business leaders. More on that fallout in a moment.

:02:01.:02:06.

First, let's recap for use of Mr Trump's key points. Not putting

:02:07.:02:10.

anybody on a moral plane. What I'm saying is this, you had a group on

:02:11.:02:14.

one side and a grip on the other, and they came at each other with

:02:15.:02:17.

clubs. It was vicious and horrible, and a horrible thing to watch. But

:02:18.:02:22.

there is another side. There was a group on this site, you can call

:02:23.:02:26.

them the left, you have just called them the left, that came violently

:02:27.:02:29.

attacking the other group. So you can say what you want, but that's

:02:30.:02:34.

the way it is. What about the alt-left, and they came charging at,

:02:35.:02:38.

as you say, the alt-right? Do they have any semblance of guilt? Let me

:02:39.:02:44.

ask you this, what about the fact they came charging with clubs in

:02:45.:02:48.

their hands, swinging clubs. Do they have any problem? I think they do. I

:02:49.:02:54.

had condemned neo-Nazis. I have condemned many different groups. But

:02:55.:02:58.

not all those people were neo-Nazis, believe me. Not all those people

:02:59.:03:02.

were white supremacists by any stretch. Those people were also

:03:03.:03:08.

there because they wanted to protest the taking down of the statue,

:03:09.:03:13.

Robert Ely. In the last few hours the pressure coming from the

:03:14.:03:17.

American business community became too much. -- Robert E Lee.

:03:18.:03:28.

This follows a number of chief executives announcing they were

:03:29.:03:33.

leaving the councils because of Donald Trump's response to the

:03:34.:03:39.

violence in Charlottesville. We can go to Washington now and speak to

:03:40.:03:46.

Anthony... I don't know if we have him... Let's see if we can get to

:03:47.:03:52.

him again. I do want to talk to you about this business move and the

:03:53.:03:57.

loss of these councils. Symbolically it's quite a big hit for the

:03:58.:04:03.

president. Yes, it's definitely is a big hit for the president. It's

:04:04.:04:08.

remarkable how quickly the dynamic changes. Just several days ago, Ken

:04:09.:04:17.

Fraser, the CEO of a company was the first to leave the council. There

:04:18.:04:23.

was a chilling effect if other CEOs wanted to stick their neck out and

:04:24.:04:28.

risk the fury of Donald Trump. But given Trump's behaviour in the last

:04:29.:04:32.

few days and his comments in the press conference yesterday, I think

:04:33.:04:34.

it crystallised the sentiments of the business community that they

:04:35.:04:37.

were better off leaving the President's side rather than stick

:04:38.:04:44.

it out. They decided it was a safer move to make and that would happen

:04:45.:04:50.

very quickly. I want to talk to you about political reaction in a moment

:04:51.:04:55.

from the President's on Republican party. A tweet from the New York

:04:56.:05:04.

Times, a well-known White House correspondent, saying there is a

:05:05.:05:07.

real dearth of Republicans on television this morning defending

:05:08.:05:14.

Trump. Many saw this as direct criticism from Mr Trump's

:05:15.:05:22.

predecessors, George HW Bush and his son George W Bush, issued a joint

:05:23.:05:27.

statement that all Americans must reject racial bigotry, anti-Semitism

:05:28.:05:32.

and hatred in all forms. We also had a quote from Marco Rubio, a senator

:05:33.:05:39.

who challenged Donald Trump for the presidency. You can't allow white

:05:40.:05:44.

supremacists to share only part of the blame. They support an idea

:05:45.:05:50.

which costs the nation and the world so much pain. And one of those

:05:51.:05:57.

supporting Donald Trump was in fact the former KKK leader, David Duke,

:05:58.:06:00.

who thanked him for his courage to tell the truth about

:06:01.:06:03.

Charlottesville, condemning what he calls the leftist terrorism in a

:06:04.:06:07.

black lives matter and the antifascist movement. A flavour of

:06:08.:06:14.

the reaction flying around in the States at the moment. We can put it

:06:15.:06:19.

into context. We were talking earlier about the fact that many

:06:20.:06:24.

Republicans condemned the sentiments but not many addressed the man. I

:06:25.:06:30.

think there is only one count that I have seen. Only about 16 Republican

:06:31.:06:38.

members of Congress out of 290 or so who explicitly criticised Donald

:06:39.:06:42.

Trump's behaviour during the press conference yesterday, explicitly

:06:43.:06:45.

singled out Donald Trump as using the wrong language. We have heard a

:06:46.:06:52.

lot more, like what Paul Ryan said and the Bush presidents said,

:06:53.:06:57.

condemning white supremacy and white nationalism, saying there is no

:06:58.:07:01.

place for that in the country. They were not talking about Donald Trump

:07:02.:07:03.

in particular and I think Republicans are being put in a

:07:04.:07:07.

difficult bind, in part because a lot of them praised Donald Trump on

:07:08.:07:12.

Monday for making comments that they thought were much more sharply

:07:13.:07:17.

worded in condemning Nazis and white supremacists. They felt they were

:07:18.:07:21.

going to be able to turn a page and the problems they had on Saturday

:07:22.:07:29.

dealing with technical remarks about white supremacists at the rally.

:07:30.:07:33.

That had been changed and they would now go back to focus on their

:07:34.:07:36.

priorities of politics in Washington. And Donald Trump's press

:07:37.:07:40.

conference yesterday rendered that inoperative and pulled out of the

:07:41.:07:43.

rug from underneath them. They left scrambling. Are we getting any news

:07:44.:07:49.

from inside the White House about how his senior advisers feel about

:07:50.:07:53.

this? He has gone from initial under reaction to this, to a very serious

:07:54.:07:57.

statement about how everyone has to come together, to that really angry

:07:58.:08:01.

news conference. He has gone back and forth and back again. Exactly.

:08:02.:08:08.

John Kelly, the new chief of staff, was supposed to bring discipline to

:08:09.:08:12.

the White House. He took office about two weeks ago. He was going to

:08:13.:08:15.

control access to the president and make sure everybody stayed on

:08:16.:08:20.

message. That era lasted roughly two weeks and we are now talking about

:08:21.:08:24.

discord and mixed messages within the White House once again. There is

:08:25.:08:29.

an interesting video clip of Kelly during Donald Trump's remarks

:08:30.:08:34.

yesterday, looking at the ground, scowling and shaking his head a bit.

:08:35.:08:38.

You could feel he was growing increasingly distraught about the

:08:39.:08:41.

way the press conference was going. Senior economic adviser Gary Coen,

:08:42.:08:47.

in the Trump White House, he apparently told sources and friends

:08:48.:08:50.

who relate to the New York Times that he was disgusted by Donald

:08:51.:08:55.

Trump's remarks. But all this is happening behind the scenes,

:08:56.:08:58.

anonymously, as is often the case with this White House. I think they

:08:59.:09:01.

are scrambling again because what Donald Trump said, but none of them

:09:02.:09:06.

going on the record. Nobody has resigned yet and they are trying to

:09:07.:09:10.

hold down the fort. In the midst of all this, we want to remember that

:09:11.:09:14.

one person was killed in the violence at Charlottesville. She was

:09:15.:09:20.

Heather Heyer, a civil rights advocate and lawyer who died after a

:09:21.:09:24.

car was driven into her and a group of opposition protesters on

:09:25.:09:29.

Saturday. Today a vigil was held for Heather Heyer with hundreds of

:09:30.:09:34.

people gathering. Family, friends, or the mourners. Many of the

:09:35.:09:37.

speakers who took to the stage touched on the topic of diversity.

:09:38.:09:42.

And what she cared about. Her mother and father were among those who

:09:43.:09:45.

spoke. Here is a bit of what they said. She loved people. She wanted

:09:46.:09:53.

equality. And in this issue of the day of her passing, she wanted to

:09:54.:10:06.

put down hate. And for my part, we just need to stop all this stuff and

:10:07.:10:11.

forgive each other. Remember in your heart, if you are not outraged, you

:10:12.:10:17.

are not paying attention. I want you to pay attention, find what's wrong.

:10:18.:10:21.

Don't ignore it, don't look the other way. Make a point to look at

:10:22.:10:26.

it and say to yourself, what can I do to make a difference? That's how

:10:27.:10:31.

you're going to make my child's death worthwhile. I would rather

:10:32.:10:35.

have my child, but if I have to give her up, we are going to it count.

:10:36.:10:41.

APPLAUSE The UK Government has today released

:10:42.:10:46.

another paper detailing how it sees trade working after Brexit happens.

:10:47.:10:50.

You can find the paper online if you want all the detail, to sum it up,

:10:51.:10:55.

the focus is now on the Irish border. The Republic of Ireland is

:10:56.:11:00.

an EU member. Northern Ireland is part of the UK, so soon will not be

:11:01.:11:06.

part of the EU. So this will be the only land border between the EU and

:11:07.:11:12.

the UK. There are around 300 public road crossings on this border. In

:11:13.:11:17.

the paper the UK Government says it does not want any new physical

:11:18.:11:21.

infrastructure on them. When I asked our reality check correspondent

:11:22.:11:25.

Chris Morris how this would work in terms of trade. In an ideal world

:11:26.:11:29.

the British government doesn't want to have a Customs border at all, a

:11:30.:11:33.

bit like it is at the moment, after Brexit. But it might be the EU

:11:34.:11:37.

doesn't agree to that. If that would be the case then the second option

:11:38.:11:43.

is to give an exemption to a lot of local traders and set up a scheme

:11:44.:11:48.

for bigger traders where they have a trusted trader scheme. If you are

:11:49.:11:51.

registered and you put in your customs documents online then there

:11:52.:11:55.

will be no physical border. But it will be difficult because there is

:11:56.:11:59.

nowhere else around the European Union where the border between the

:12:00.:12:03.

customs union and another country is no border at all. There are places

:12:04.:12:07.

like Norway and Sweden where there is a light touch, but the idea of an

:12:08.:12:11.

invisible border, which the UK is promoting, is quite new. Let's talk

:12:12.:12:17.

about how may people will be affected, an estimated 20

:12:18.:12:20.

3000-30,000 people cross the border each day for work and around each

:12:21.:12:25.

month 170,000 lorries and 1.8 million cars cross the border. How

:12:26.:12:33.

much trade is there on a daily basis between Northern Ireland and the

:12:34.:12:36.

Irish Republic? There is a lot of local business and that's one of the

:12:37.:12:40.

things the UK thinks it can take advantage of in terms of cutting out

:12:41.:12:43.

a lot of complicated customs procedures. Roughly 30,000 people

:12:44.:12:47.

are estimated to cross the everyday for work. But there are

:12:48.:12:53.

convocations. A lot of local trade is agricultural produce. There are

:12:54.:12:57.

farms and the border goes straight through the middle of that farmland.

:12:58.:13:01.

Part of the problem there becomes regulation because the EU has very

:13:02.:13:06.

specific regulations on things like food safety. So if you want to have

:13:07.:13:10.

no border checks there at all, then the option for the UK is basically

:13:11.:13:15.

to have pretty much exactly the same regulations as the EU to make sure

:13:16.:13:19.

those border checks are not there. Don't forget, one of the reasons the

:13:20.:13:23.

UK decided to leave the EU in the first place was to get rid of all

:13:24.:13:27.

those regulations. It might be politically it will have to accept

:13:28.:13:31.

many of them will stay in place. We have been asking some of the people

:13:32.:13:34.

who will be affected what they think. Here's our Northern Ireland

:13:35.:13:36.

correspondent Chris Buckler. For more than 300 miles,

:13:37.:13:40.

crossing fields and bridges, roads and rivers, there

:13:41.:13:43.

is a political dividing line But it is a border that cannot

:13:44.:13:45.

be seen, and many want Soft toys and cushions

and practicalities are concerns about the potential impact of peace

and prosperity at this, what is currently

:14:45.:14:46.

the softest of borders. Still to come, he's taking one more

:14:47.:14:55.

shot as 007 with Daniel Craig confirming he will be back as James

:14:56.:15:05.

Bond. The latest figures out today show unemployment in the UK fell

:15:06.:15:08.

again in the three months to the end of June by 57,000 to 1.48 million.

:15:09.:15:19.

It's the lowest since 1975. Average weekly earnings by up by more than

:15:20.:15:24.

2%, but they are still behind inflation, causing a squeeze on

:15:25.:15:29.

living standards. Here's Steve Bell, chief economist at BMO Field asset

:15:30.:15:33.

management. More jobs, lower unemployment. It's not so good news

:15:34.:15:39.

for pay, which is inching up slower than inflation. The big reason for

:15:40.:15:43.

that is the pound has fallen a lot in the last year. You are spending

:15:44.:15:47.

pounds that are worth less. Whether you are on holiday abroad or buying

:15:48.:15:51.

an imported good you are being squeezed. It's not surprising

:15:52.:15:54.

employers are not putting up wages to compensate for that because they

:15:55.:15:59.

don't have that as profit. What it means, I think, is we can run the

:16:00.:16:02.

economy with lower unemployment, which is quite good news.

:16:03.:16:16.

Our lead story, critical reaction to Donald Trump's latest comments on

:16:17.:16:23.

white supremacists now includes outright condemnation of bigotry by

:16:24.:16:27.

America's last two Republican presidents. Let's look at some of

:16:28.:16:31.

the stories making the news around the BBC. Police in the Philippines

:16:32.:16:34.

have killed more than 30 people in what's thought to be the bloodiest

:16:35.:16:39.

24 hours in the country's war on drugs. Officers say those killed in

:16:40.:16:43.

the raids north of the capital of Manila where suspected drug

:16:44.:16:46.

offenders who were armed and resisted. More than 100 people were

:16:47.:16:51.

arrested. That story is on the BBC World Service. On BBC Hindi, news

:16:52.:16:57.

that Indian soldiers have clashed with Chinese troops on a disputed

:16:58.:17:00.

border in the western Himalayas with the two sides hurling stones at each

:17:01.:17:04.

other. Officials say Indian service men formed a human chain to prevent

:17:05.:17:09.

Chinese forces entering territory claimed by India, although India has

:17:10.:17:10.

said it's not aware of the incident. This man, the defeated candidate in

:17:11.:17:22.

last week's presidential election in Kenya says he will challenge the

:17:23.:17:26.

presidential election in the Supreme Court. He told supporters that the

:17:27.:17:30.

opposition has collected concrete evidence of what he calls massive

:17:31.:17:34.

irregularities. From Nairobi, this report. Today police and tax

:17:35.:17:42.

officials raided the premises of the political organisation, and that's a

:17:43.:17:48.

day after the government announced they have deregistered the Kenyan

:17:49.:17:52.

human rights commission who had been considering looking at the election

:17:53.:17:55.

voting process. Other than that they say they have glaring evidence which

:17:56.:18:00.

they suggest that if Kenyon 's do not know the country has a

:18:01.:18:11.

legitimate voting processes. We refuse to sit and watch our country

:18:12.:18:16.

turned into a banana republic in the playground. Accepting such a crime

:18:17.:18:24.

for the third election in a row would be irredeemable and showcase

:18:25.:18:34.

the permanent death of democracy. Future elections would be a sham. We

:18:35.:18:41.

will not be parted to it. There are two main pieces of evidence that

:18:42.:18:47.

were suggested. They called the current elected leadership is

:18:48.:18:49.

computer-generated, saying the results were fake. They pointed out

:18:50.:18:54.

that all through the election process that the president kept a

:18:55.:18:58.

sustained lead of 11%, and there was a suggestion there was an algorithm

:18:59.:19:03.

inserted into the Electoral Commission's website that made the

:19:04.:19:07.

result so. They also made a glaring accusation that the provisional and

:19:08.:19:12.

final results that were announced were unsubstantiated and illegal,

:19:13.:19:19.

suggesting some of the election officials were unlicensed, and some

:19:20.:19:22.

of the polling stations from where results were announced were also

:19:23.:19:27.

nonexistent. We will return to the top story for business. Donald Trump

:19:28.:19:32.

announced he is closing down to presidential business advisory

:19:33.:19:35.

groups he set up when he took office. This comes after a number of

:19:36.:19:39.

chief executives quit because of his response to violent clashes in

:19:40.:19:45.

Virginia. We can go to New York now. Donald Trump, we talk about this

:19:46.:19:49.

quite a lot, he prides himself on his business friendly image. How

:19:50.:19:54.

much of a hit is this for him? Is quite significant to you have a

:19:55.:19:59.

president that campaigned on the fact he's a businessman who

:20:00.:20:03.

understands how business works, and he's the one who will be able to

:20:04.:20:09.

bring jobs and manufacturing backed the United States. These White House

:20:10.:20:13.

counsels were created so business leaders could offer input on trying

:20:14.:20:16.

to achieve some of these goals directly to the president. One by

:20:17.:20:21.

one we have seen members of the manufacturing Council world away

:20:22.:20:25.

from these groups because of comments made by the president with

:20:26.:20:29.

regards the protests that happened in Charlottesville Virginia over the

:20:30.:20:36.

weekend. That and another group we saw held a meeting earlier on

:20:37.:20:40.

Wednesday and it is largely agreed they should disband again in protest

:20:41.:20:44.

over what was said with regards to those protests. In advance of that

:20:45.:20:50.

we saw the president to eat, saying, that's it, I will in the eliminate

:20:51.:20:57.

both groups altogether. I can bring up a tweet from Donald Trump today

:20:58.:21:03.

aimed at one company in particular, Amazon, and he says Amazon is doing

:21:04.:21:09.

great damage to taxpaying retailers, towns and cities and states

:21:10.:21:12.

throughout the US being hurt. Many jobs being lost. What impact did

:21:13.:21:17.

that have? It certainly had a huge impact on Amazon's share price.

:21:18.:21:23.

Premarket trading, they had lost some $5 million in terms of value.

:21:24.:21:29.

But all of that was regained in the day of trading. It's significant

:21:30.:21:33.

that the president singled out the head of Amazon, Jeff Bezos, who has

:21:34.:21:40.

disrupted the way Americans go shopping, and the way a lot of

:21:41.:21:44.

people go shopping. It's also interesting because he's the head of

:21:45.:21:48.

the Washington Post. Yet another part of what the president calls the

:21:49.:21:55.

fake news media. You get the sense Donald Trump is fighting several

Tuesday's press briefing where his alone. There is a lot of questioning

:22:21.:22:29.

about what happens now regards the President's legislative initiatives,

:22:30.:22:31.

like bringing jobs back and improving manufacturing and bring it

:22:32.:22:38.

:22:49.:22:51.

is not happy with the free trade deal, calling Nafta a job killer.

:22:52.:22:58.

The first round of talks to renegotiate the deal began in

Washington today. America's chief negotiator was talking tough. For

:23:03.:23:05.

callous Americans this agreement has failed. We cannot ignore -- for

:23:06.:23:12.

countless Americans. We can't ignore the huge trade deficits, lost

:23:13.:23:15.

manufacturing jobs and businesses that have moved and closed because

:23:16.:23:19.

of incentives, intended or not, in the current agreement. Now some

:23:20.:23:25.

exciting news about James Bond. After months of speculation Daniel

:23:26.:23:28.

Craig has confirmed he will return as 007 in the next film due to be

:23:29.:23:32.

released in 2019. He said this will be his final appearance.

:23:33.:23:42.

Months of speculation, will Daniel Craig come back

:23:43.:23:44.

Daniel is the seventh actor to take on bond and is commercially the most

:23:45.:23:53.

successful of the franchise with Skyfall being the first

:23:54.:23:55.

to break the $1 billion mark at the box office,

:23:56.:23:58.

it was only a matter of time before he was back home at MI6,

:23:59.:24:01.

regardless of how many times it's been destroyed in the films.

:24:02.:24:03.

Despite the cars, the Martinis on tap and of course the women,

:24:04.:24:11.

let's not forget that after the release of Spectre Daniel

:24:12.:24:14.

said he would rather slit his wrists than play the fictional

And while Daniel was mulling over that offer other names

:24:23.:24:27.

But for the fans, Daniel is The Man with the Golden Gun.

:24:28.:24:32.

After all of this regulation we finally have an answer

:24:33.:24:37.

Daniel Craig has reinvented Bond and his films are among the most

:24:38.:24:44.

successful and critically acclaimed, so I think we are really glad we got

:24:45.:24:47.

the answer, we are looking forward to Bond 25.

:24:48.:24:50.

He will be 51 by the time Bond 25 hits the cinemas in 2019

:24:51.:24:53.

and the stunts from Spectre left him needing knee surgery.

:24:54.:24:58.

So it's understandable that he says this time is the last time.
