Hello, I'm Ros Atkins, this is Outside Source.

Remember how Donald Trump spent an hour on Tuesday attacking his

enemies? Wednesday have brought a different tone. We are not defined

by the colour of our skin, the figure on our pay cheque, or at the

party of our politics. We are defined by our shared humanity.

Syrian government troops fighting the Islamic State group. I am

hell-bent on victory. We're not scared of death. I am a commander on

the ground and I've been wounded three times. That's what happened to

the Samsung Note seven. The Samsung Note eight has been launched in New

York. We will get the assessment. Many of you will have seen the

latest shocking report from Yemen. It is now the world's most pressing

humanitarian crisis. As usual, we are open for business online. You

can use the hashtag, find the social media e-mail us.

Perhaps we should flip a coin to guess which Donald Trump we're going

to get. There seems no better way of predicting what the president is

going to say. This was a speech earlier. We are not defined by the

colour of our skin. The figure on our pay cheque. Or at the party of

our politics. We are defined by our shared humanity. By our citizenship

in this magnificent nation and by the love that fills our hearts. And

I know I speak for all of you when I say, our hearts beat for America.

Our souls filled with pride every time we hear the national anthem.

This is the spirit we need to overcome our challenges. To pursue

pursue our Common destiny -- our common destiny. We will win. Watch,

we will win. That was Wednesday. This was from Tuesday in Phoenix.

The president took aim at a range of targets including those who

criticised his response to the violence in Charlottesville and his

initial failure to condemn our rights campaigners. So, the... And I

mean truly dishonest people in the media and fake media. They make up

stories, they have no sources in many cases. They say, a source says,

there is no such thing. But they don't report the facts. Just like

they don't want to report that I spoke out forcefully against hatred,

bigotry and violence and strongly condemned the neon at six, the white

supremacist and the KKK. -- neo-Nazis.

John is not wrong. Next, consider this. It is an early warning from

the United Nations to America over racial conditions. This is from a UN

committee on the elimination of racial discrimination. In its

statement, it says... Just to put this in perspective,

only five countries have been issued with a warning like theirs in the

past decade. We should say the UN was directing

its comments to America, not to the president. Here is Gary O'Donoghue

in Washington. I don't think he will lose sleep over this in particular.

It is not taking aim at him personally. It's very careful in its

wording about the US administration and identifying and investigating,

exception. I am sure they would agree with pretty much every word of

that, but it is an indication of the international concern about the way

things are going here in America and the ongoing issue around

Charlottesville. And you are right about this day in, day out

vacillation, if you like. You cannot tell what kind of Donald Trump

you're going to get. We saw it last week over Charlottesville on the

Monday, when we had that very carefully orchestrated speech, where

he condemned the KKK and specifically called them out, etc.

And then Tuesday, completely going off piste and reigniting the whole

issue all over again. He's doing his bit at least to perpetuate this

political problem. Please don't go anywhere, because I want to ask you

about something from Hillary Clinton. I know you are close to

this story. She has put out a book, a memoir of her efforts to get the

White House and of course it features Donald Trump. This is one

except where she has voiced it up for an audio book where she

describes a presidential debate with Mr Trump which Gary attended. It was

incredibly uncomfortable. He was literally breathing down my neck. My

skin crawl. It was one of those moments where you wish you could fit

Paul's and asked everyone watching, well, what would you do? Do you stay

calm, keep smiling and carry on as if he weren't repeatedly invading

your space? Or do you turn, looking in the eye and say it loudly and

clearly, back up, you creep? Get away from me. One of the things I

found interesting about that is that it highlights that Mr Trump for

better or worse was an authentic campaigner. We got exactly who he

is. Mrs Clinton was being more conscious about the image she was

putting out. She has done that for years. If you talk to Clinton

watchers, they will all say to you, look, this is the experience of 20

odd years being batted and pushed about by the media that she has

built this carapace, if you like, to protect herself. In some ways, that

carapace became her undoing because it's made it much, much harder for

her to be human, certainly to be human in front of large numbers of

people, to be spontaneous, to be warm. So you can see how it came

about, but it was her undoing. How about that, if she had just done

that on that night, what would have happened? Who knows? Bear in mind,

this was just two days after those Hollywood axis tapes came out. No

doubt that wasn't a coincidence. There are political tactics on all

sides of these things. Two days after the Hollywood tapes came out,

where Donald Trump was with Billy Bush talking about how he would grab

hold of women's genitals. All week we have reported on the collision

between a US destroyer and an oil tanker. This happened on Monday, the

fourth major accidents in the US fleet this year. Now the US fleet

commander, Vice Admiral Joseph O'Cathain, has been relieved of his

duties. The Navy says he no longer -- it's no longer has confidence.

This collision happened close to Singapore. The vessel was moving

eastwards. These are the faces that have lost

the US seventh Fleet Commander his job. They are the seven young

sailors who died aboard the USS Fitzgerald when it was struck off

the coast of Japan in June. Now there are almost certainly ten more

faces to be added to these. Victims of the latest collision of the USS

John McCain of the coursed... Coast of Singapore. The Vice Admiral was

due to retire next month. Instead, he is being very publicly sacked.

This is the man who today fired him. US specific commander Admiral Scott

Swift. He said he had lost confidence in his ability to

command. For 70 years, the US fleet has been the embodiment of American

military might in this region. A reassuring is to America's allies

from Korea to Japan to here in Singapore. And a warning to

America's potential foes. Seeing these two destroyers run by cargo

ships, barely limping back into port with massive holes in their sides,

right now, the seventh Fleet looks anything but invincible. But is the

reason port command or a US Navy that is stretched to breaking point?

Over the last 30 years, it has shrunk from nearly 600 ships to just

276 today. It's a question I put to Admiral Swift. Is there an issue of

negligence here or is it just that your men and women are exhausted

from overwork? On the John McCain this morning, looking in the eyes of

those sailors, even after their heroic efforts yesterday, I did not

see exhaustion. That view is not a view that I see reflected to me by

the 140,000 sailors that manned the Pacific Fleet. Admiral Swift will

need to move fast to restore credibility. China is already saying

these accidents show US power is declining here. America's allies are

looking on anxiously. A few minutes, we will hear from

Yemen. You may have seen the most recent report on the horrors

happening there at the moment. We will hear about that.

A cyclist who was accused of locking down and killing a woman in London

has been cleared of manslaughter at the Old Bailey. The 18-year-old was

found guilty of causing bodily harm by one tingly -- want or furious

driving. He was riding a fixed gear bike with no front brakes when he

hit the mother of two as she was crossing the road in her lunch

break. Her husband has called for a new offence to be created of causing

death or serious injury by dangerous or careless cycling. He also paid

tribute to his wife. For is to remember Kim not through the lens of

this trial, but were being the beautiful, fun loving woman who

adored her children and who lived her life by the -- to the full.

Welcome back. Our lead story comes from the US. Donald Trump has taken

a more measured tone in a speech in Nevada after he blasted opponents at

a campaign rally the previous evening. Some of the main stories

from BBC World Service. First of all, the clear up is beginning in

Hong Kong. The typhoon was measured as a category ten storm, the highest

possible level. At least three people have been killed and the

remnants of this are sweeping across southern China. Egypt has criticised

the US for withholding almost $200 million in military aid. It has not

yet been officially announced, the move, but is reported to be related

to human rights concerns. This includes the President's son-in-law

visited Cairo. Lots of you are looking at these

astonishing pictures from Chile. The normally arid Atacama desert has

been carpeted in flowers. This comes after intense and unexpected rain.

This happens about once every five to seven years. The reins caused

buried seeds to germinate to flowers.

turn back to the conflict in Yemen. At least 35 people are believed to

have died outside the capital. We have this image and rebels are

saying that inside that Hotel, those people died. They claim it was

struck by the Saudi led coalition. The coalition has not commented. We

know it backs the government in this war. The war is over two years old

and it has led to territorial in Yemen being divided with areas in

the West control by the rebels, much of the rest of the country

controlled by the government. Al-Qaeda also controls some

territorial in Yemen. That has led to a humanitarian crisis which at

the UN says has surpassed anything else happening in the world. 500,000

people are affected by cholera. UN estimates say almost 7 million

people are in need of food assistance. That is more than in

South Sudan, Nigeria, Somalia. I first met this Doctor a year ago.

He tells me things are now much worse. He takes me to meet a boy,

just three years old. His immune system is failing. He needs

intensive care but there are no beds available. His family stayed by his

side. All these people have spent all the money they have two get this

far... Now their electricity is off. So all the machines are off. All the

indicators are off. All the oxygen has stopped. And this happens all

the time. The Saudi led coalition has a

blockade in place and that is impacting how much aid can come into

Yemen. We've been talking about how people in the country view the

Saudi's decision to do that. When you speak to the people, they don't

really understand why they are in the situation they are in. It is

clear that food has just become so expensive that they cannot afford it

any more. One of the main reasons that is happening is because of the

blockade. So little food is coming in through the ports that what food

is available, the prices have risen so much. And also, delivery now

takes so much longer because those ships are having to wait while they

are being searched at Shaw or while they are waiting for previous ships

to be off-loaded. They add that price on to the food and then people

have to pay for that and they cannot afford it. And the justification for

the blockade in Saudi Arabia and others would be? The Saudis say that

Iraq is sending arms to the whole these. That may be the case. It may

justify the fact that they want to search the ships coming into the

port. It certainly doesn't justify the fact that the port has been

completely bombs and all the cranes are now out of use. It does not

justify the ships that are carrying aid not being allowed in or ships

that are now carrying new cranes are going to be delivered only for use

by the world food programme to be blocked. That is what we saw when we

were there. Unfortunately, every couple of months we stand here and

talk about the situation in Yemen. Is it possible for you to compare

what you saw on this trip with what you've seen before and describe to

us whether it's just as bad or whether it's worsening? Honestly,

every single time I go, it is completely... It shocks me every

time just how quickly the situation deteriorates. The first time we sat

here and spoke about the bombing campaign and how that is devastating

people's homes. The second time we spoke about starvation and shared

those pictures of starving children. This time, not only are people

living under the bombing and shelling by both parties and

starvation, but we have the worst cholera epidemic the world has seen

in decades. We've met people that have had to live through all three

different calamities of this war. In terms of the security situation you

experienced and civilians experience in Yemen, how easy is it to move

between different areas you visited? Incredibly difficult. It is very

dangerous. That has also meant that journalists have not been able to

get in because of all the different checkpoints. They are not letting

any foreigners get past them. I am lucky because I am Yemeni and that

is why I can make it through. It is very dangerous and there is

increased tension between the different sides, between areas that

are held by the government and areas that are not. That is because

different parties are using the same... Are basically abusing rights

on both sides. That is one of the main problems. That report is

available on full and -- on full online. The missing journalist has

been found. The final photo. It is August ten

and freelance journalist Tim won is on assignment writing about Peter

Madsen. They are snapped as they set off on his home-made submarine. Ten

days later, a cyclist discovered a torso which had washed up on a beach

south of Copenhagen. With the head and limbs deliberately cut off.

Today, police confirmed the DNA matched the journalist.

TRANSLATION: We do have a match with hairbrush and toothbrush belonging

to Tim won, blood on the 's submarine. There is also metal

attached to the body in an apparent attempt to make it sing to the

bottom. The submarine was discovered sinking hours into a police search

for Kim Wall. After her partner reported her missing. Peter Madsen

was rescued from his vessel and charged with negligence

manslaughter. It is a case that has gripped the public imagination.

People have been following this case ever since this accident happened,

ever since Kim Wall was missing and ever since it has been big news here

in Denmark and something which people, young, old, men and women

are discussing and talking about. As police continue to search for the

remaining body parts, Peter Madsen's lawyers said the news that the torso

is Kim Wall does not change our client -- client's position that the

journalist died in an accident. He pleaded not guilty.

Next tonight, let's turn to some of the main business stories. Beginning

with some song. Its galaxy Note seven phones, one of the big stories

last year because as you may remember they kept catching fire.

Now we have the launch of the eight. It was launched in New York.

Michelle was there and is live now. What is it like? Hello. Well, it is

big. I think that is the first thing you notice it. It is 6.3 inches

screen. The previous one was slightly smaller. It is this idea

that you are walking around with a computer in your pocket. Lots of new

whizbang features. They were trying to show off the fact that it has two

rear cameras, one of the telephoto, one for wide angle lens. Something

we haven't yet seen before. We will have to wait and see whether Apple's

iPhone can top some of the features we saw today. We're expecting them

to release bears in September. Got to leave it there. Thank you. There

is a full write-up of that launch on the tech section of the BBC News

website. You may know, BBC business has been looking at the business of

death. Our latest report comes from the Netherlands and looks at

euthanasia, which is legal in the Netherlands and is not just for

those with terminal illnesses. Anyone who is deemed to be

experiencing unbearable suffering can submit a request. Here is the

BBC's Anna Corrigan. How all some of you to check out my

channel right now. I'm a comedian, motivational speaker. She was a

performer who adored the spotlight. But in 2015, she decided to end her

life with euthanasia. Lowe she was so young, 25. She had a lot of pain

in her body, physically and mentally. She couldn't deal with it.

Head Doctor granted her request on the fourth time of asking. She said,

mum, I've got news. I can go. It's my liberation day. And we had never

such a happy child. 6300 patients were given the life ending treatment

in the Netherlands in 2016 and 500 of them used this independent

foundation. The end of life clinic is a private company. They employ 55

teams consisting of a doctor and nurse who travel out to people's

homes to administer the lethal injection or hand over the lethal

cocktail of drugs. Medical insurers is monetary, it is insurers of

these, not individuals, that pay the bill. Euthanasia critics around the

world are concerned about insurers focusing on their own profits,

facilitating a voluntary death is relatively cheap, as little as $400.

Compared with the cost of treating a long-term terminal illness. The

director at the end of life clinic finds these accusations frustrating.

It is not about the cost. What is driving us is to help these people

who are in a situation that they say, please help me to die. There is

no other option. That is the reason we are here. We are not crossed

driven, we are a nonprofit organisation. Insurance company 's

default deny these claims, too, saying...

Although 85% of Dutch people broadly support the current law, advocates

of euthanasia want to relax the legislation even further, to allow

anyone over the age of 75 to choose death when they feel they've had

enough of life. These proposals have horrified the Netherlands Christian

lobby. That debate continues. For many thousands of people across the

Netherlands, how it ends will truly be a matter of life or death.

I want to stay in the Netherlands because we have some developing news

there. You will know if you watch the programme regularly, we can

access all the copy coming through the BBC newsroom. I have not seen

these wire copies but I will show which you.

The Rotterdam mayor is giving these statements.

There hasn't been any extras that connection between the find of this

small bass and the cancellation of the concert. Clearly these comments

suggest they could be linked. This is the same man, the mayor of

Rotterdam. Two events there. The boss with a Spanish number plate,

apparently with gas bottles, found, the driver taken into custody. That

is one of them. The second event is a rock concert in Rotterdam has been

stopped because of a terror threat. Two stories. Whether they are

related or not we will have to see, but clearly the Rotterdam mayor is

sharing information so I would expect more information in the next

half an hour and of course, when I get it, you will get it, too. See

you in a minute. There's quite a lot going on in the

world that moment weather-wise. The biggest I suspect, is the typhoon

which made landfall in the south-east of China on Wednesday

morning. You can see from the satellite
