:00:14. > :00:15.Hello, I'm Ros Atkins, this is Outside Source.

:00:16. > :00:16.There are warnings of a major explosion

:00:17. > :00:19.at a chemical plant in Texas - caused by floods brought

:00:20. > :00:25.Officials have been forced to evacuate the area

:00:26. > :00:29.Emmanuel Macron has unveiled his plans to overhaul

:00:30. > :00:36.It's the end of the third round of Brexit talks -

:00:37. > :00:39.but a row over the size of the UK's so-called divorce bill has prevented

:00:40. > :00:50.A court in Pakistan has acquitted all five men accused of conspiracy

:00:51. > :00:52.to murder former prime minister Benazir Bhutto.

:00:53. > :00:54.I'll get the analysis of the BBC's Owen Bennett Jones.

:00:55. > :00:58.We'll hear from the team trying to reach the North Pole by yacht -

:00:59. > :01:01.about the record they believe they've broken.

:01:02. > :01:04.In OS sport, a cricket match in England is abandoned

:01:05. > :01:35.after an arrow fired from a crossbow lands on the field.

:01:36. > :01:43.I want to look at the economic impact of Tropical Storm Harvey. It

:01:44. > :01:47.has forced the closure of nearly a quarter of oil refining capacity in

:01:48. > :01:51.America. This is one enormous facility involved in that. Also, a

:01:52. > :01:57.key oil pipeline has been shut, running from Texas to New York. It

:01:58. > :02:00.is a main provider of oil to a number of east coast cities,

:02:01. > :02:04.including New York and Washington. We have a more detailed graphic

:02:05. > :02:08.which shows that pipe line with its branches as well, and you can see it

:02:09. > :02:12.working its way both ease. This graphic gives even more detail,

:02:13. > :02:17.provided by the company that operates it. The area affected by

:02:18. > :02:25.this pipeline is small compared with the total distance it reaches, but

:02:26. > :02:31.it is the death area of the oil comes from, and that is causing

:02:32. > :02:35.problems. Michelle joins us from New York. I want to understand how much

:02:36. > :02:40.impact one oil pipeline can have on the availability and price of fuel

:02:41. > :02:46.on the east Coast. Look, you are talking about a quarter of America's

:02:47. > :02:51.refining capacity being off-line at the moment, so that is already

:02:52. > :02:56.putting strain on the system. Add to that problems with this pipeline.

:02:57. > :03:03.Just to give you an idea, it carries about 1.4 million barrels a day, so

:03:04. > :03:07.that is why suddenly people are saying, hang on a second, even if we

:03:08. > :03:12.manage to sort out alternative ways of getting supply to parts of the

:03:13. > :03:15.north-east, it will take some time. And in between, you may see a bit of

:03:16. > :03:21.a crunch, which is why there has been talk of prices spiking at the

:03:22. > :03:26.pump. So far, if you go to fill up your car, in some cases, people are

:03:27. > :03:34.reporting seeing an increase of about 10 cents. How long this lasts,

:03:35. > :03:37.it's hard to tell. There has also been talk about whether the

:03:38. > :03:41.Government should tap into its special reserves of oil. But he was

:03:42. > :03:46.the thing, when a quarter of the refining capacity is off-line,

:03:47. > :03:51.releasing more crude oil supplies would alleviate the problem. It is a

:03:52. > :03:55.problem of distribution, getting things where they needed, and that

:03:56. > :04:00.is causing anxiety. In terms of the cost of the clear up, I always

:04:01. > :04:04.imagine there is a tension between this year -- the insurance industry,

:04:05. > :04:11.which will pay up eventually, and the immediate need that people have

:04:12. > :04:15.for funds right now. You saw the president saying this would be

:04:16. > :04:21.expensive. How expensive the final bill, it's too early to calculate.

:04:22. > :04:26.Estimates have varied, talking to people, and the figures had not been

:04:27. > :04:29.too reliable at this stage. You have heard from the White House's

:04:30. > :04:35.Homeland security adviser, who came out and said they thought it was

:04:36. > :04:40.100,000 homes that were affected. That is what they have counted so

:04:41. > :04:45.far. The White House would be asking Congress for funds soon, but what

:04:46. > :04:49.has complicated things on the Government end is that we are at the

:04:50. > :04:54.end of our fiscal year, coming up, and Congress was due to start

:04:55. > :04:59.debating what the next budget would look like. Presumably, a lot of this

:05:00. > :05:01.will now focus on how much will go to disaster relief. OK, thank you

:05:02. > :05:08.very much indeed. We have Emmanuel Macron's plan

:05:09. > :05:15.for shaking up French labour laws. One of the core ideas is to make it

:05:16. > :05:18.easier for companies Here's the French prime

:05:19. > :05:36.minister with more detail. TRANSLATION: Our goal is simple - it

:05:37. > :05:42.aims at job creation by giving more security and visibility to

:05:43. > :05:47.entrepreneurs in their attempts to hire, and more guarantees to

:05:48. > :05:52.employees. He says the goal is simple, but getting labour reform

:05:53. > :05:57.through entrance is difficult. It is like health care in the US - many

:05:58. > :06:01.people talk about it, some try, but few make progress. The pressure is

:06:02. > :06:07.certainly on. If you look at what has happened to his popularity, what

:06:08. > :06:14.he achieved in the elections was quite extraordinary. In June, he had

:06:15. > :06:21.ratings of 64%, in August, 40%, a huge jump. This is from a French

:06:22. > :06:24.pole. At all of that August is followed by September, and that is

:06:25. > :06:29.the time of the year when the French like to protest most years, and this

:06:30. > :06:36.is what happened the last time a French Government tried to push

:06:37. > :06:41.through labour reform. There were protests, violence, and the reforms

:06:42. > :06:46.were scuppered. The unions are hugely powerful in these matters in

:06:47. > :06:55.France. Two unions are saying they will not take part in planned

:06:56. > :07:02.protests. Earlier, French journalist Agnes Poirier was speaking to us,

:07:03. > :07:06.explaining the strange situation that Mr Macron is in, where he

:07:07. > :07:10.achieved an extraordinary election result but is still under enormous

:07:11. > :07:15.pressure. He still has control of everything with an absolute majority

:07:16. > :07:18.in the parliament. With France, and especially with reforms of labour

:07:19. > :07:22.laws that he wants the carrier, and which were in his manifesto, so he

:07:23. > :07:26.didn't take any one surprise, which is a problem for the trade unions,

:07:27. > :07:41.and he has held negotiations from the beginning. Being France, the

:07:42. > :07:45.legitimacy of power really lies ultimately with the people, and it

:07:46. > :07:48.is down to the people to take to the streets or not. To make

:07:49. > :07:56.demonstrations are planned for the 12th of September. Two out of three

:07:57. > :08:02.trade unions said they wouldn't take part today, which is big news. But

:08:03. > :08:06.the Communist trade union, which is extremely powerful in public

:08:07. > :08:12.services and is able to paralyse the country, said it is keeping that

:08:13. > :08:16.demonstration. 11 days later, on the 23rd of September, we have another

:08:17. > :08:22.demonstration organised by the extreme left, or the left of the

:08:23. > :08:27.Socialist party, which is now almost extinct. So, we will see what is

:08:28. > :08:32.happening. Nine out of ten French people say they want those reforms.

:08:33. > :08:37.And they also say that they are a bit worried about it. So, you know,

:08:38. > :08:42.we will see. In terms of the detail we have seen today, what would you

:08:43. > :08:47.pick out as being some of the more important details. French workers

:08:48. > :08:53.are very well protected by law. The labour code is more than 3000 pages

:08:54. > :08:57.long. Basically, Emmanuel Macron will try to add some flexibility,

:08:58. > :09:04.that is to say, especially for small and medium-size businesses to be

:09:05. > :09:10.able to dismiss people more easily and hire them more reason with. That

:09:11. > :09:13.is to say, to adjust to the economy. Donald Trump found, even when he

:09:14. > :09:18.control both houses of Congress, it was still hard to get Republicans to

:09:19. > :09:22.line up behind his health care ideas. Immanuel Macron has control

:09:23. > :09:29.after the elections, but the think his new members of Parliament will

:09:30. > :09:38.stay loyal? A lot of things can happen. It didn't take anyone by

:09:39. > :09:43.surprise. It was in his manifesto. And he won by a landslide. He can

:09:44. > :09:50.pass those laws by decree, executive orders as they would call it in the

:09:51. > :09:55.US. If something is going to happen to oppose those laws, it will be in

:09:56. > :10:04.the streets, so we will see if Emmanuel Macron is as astute a

:10:05. > :10:07.president as he may think years. In a moment, we will have all the

:10:08. > :10:10.details on the football transfer deadline. But a bizarre story to

:10:11. > :10:15.stop. -- to start. A cricket match in London has been

:10:16. > :10:18.abandoned after a metal-tipped arrow You can see it there

:10:19. > :10:21.in the umpires hand. The game was being played

:10:22. > :10:24.at the Oval cricket ground which is in south London,

:10:25. > :10:26.during a county match Police believe it was fired

:10:27. > :10:30.from outside the ground. Armed officers quickly arrived

:10:31. > :10:33.and the ground was evacuated. No one was injured and no

:10:34. > :10:37.arrests have been made. Here's a BBC cricket commentator

:10:38. > :10:48.who was at the ground. As it turns out, the Arrow landed on

:10:49. > :10:52.the field of play. Two of the players, I remember at the time,

:10:53. > :10:56.because I was on air, two of them ran to the pavilion, which

:10:57. > :11:00.suggested, hold on, this is quite serious. The majority walked slowly,

:11:01. > :11:10.including the umpires who picked it up full stop -- who picked it up.

:11:11. > :11:15.That must have been shock. We thought maybe it came from the top

:11:16. > :11:22.of the standard. Maybe it blew off the top and onto the field of play,

:11:23. > :11:27.but this cricket ground is very open, a large playing area, one of

:11:28. > :11:33.the largest in the world, server run thing -- so for something to get in

:11:34. > :11:38.there, very strange. Everyone was told to get undercover in the

:11:39. > :11:47.ground. It was worrying for those outside. We were in the boxes. We

:11:48. > :11:52.locked the door because it was believed at first that the

:11:53. > :11:53.projectile came from this stand. A very strange story. If there are

:11:54. > :11:57.development is, we will bring them. The transfer deadline for European

:11:58. > :12:00.clubs finishes in just over an hour. It's already been a record transfer

:12:01. > :12:03.window - more than ?1.2 billion - that's $1.6 billion -

:12:04. > :12:05.has been splashed out. 13 Premier League clubs have

:12:06. > :12:12.broken their own records. The BBC's Andy Swiss has been

:12:13. > :12:27.crunching the numbers. I am guessing it is busier than

:12:28. > :12:34.normal, with all this activity going on? Just a little! Alex

:12:35. > :12:41.Oxlade-Chamberlain has been confirmed as moving from Arsenal to

:12:42. > :12:47.Liverpool. PSG have signed the very impressive Mbappe from Monaco. He

:12:48. > :12:56.scored for France in the World Cup qualifier. The fee is $250 million

:12:57. > :13:02.should PSG assign him a permanent deal. His contract would run until

:13:03. > :13:06.June 20 22. Alexis Sanchez appears to be staying put at Arsenal,

:13:07. > :13:11.despite two bids from Manchester City. The French international who

:13:12. > :13:16.scored twice in that 4-0 victory over the Netherlands, the gunners

:13:17. > :13:20.wanted him if they were to let Sanchez go, but he is staying with

:13:21. > :13:31.Monaco, scuppering the deal for Sanchez DeMille. Aurier has been

:13:32. > :13:37.signed for a fee in the region of $30 million. He has a five-year

:13:38. > :13:47.contract until 2022. -- for Sanchez to move. Plenty to look forward to.

:13:48. > :13:54.Everything else, of course, on our website. And the tennis? Roger

:13:55. > :13:59.Federer is on court. It is 1-1 insects in that one. He should have

:14:00. > :14:05.won the second. Rafael Nadal is on court later. Andrey Rublev has

:14:06. > :14:11.pulled off one of the upsets of the tournament, winning against Grigor

:14:12. > :14:13.Dimitrov in straight sets. The Bulgarian was one of the

:14:14. > :14:20.pretournament favourites after lifting the title in Cincinnati.

:14:21. > :14:29.Karolina Pliskova had to battle back from losing the first set against

:14:30. > :14:32.Nicole gives to win in three sets. Elina Svitolina powered into the

:14:33. > :14:40.third round of the US open with a 6-4, 6-4 win. So, plenty to look

:14:41. > :14:43.forward to. Plenty with the transfer window. The BBC website is the way

:14:44. > :14:50.to go for a living. Thank you very much indeed.

:14:51. > :14:53.This is the last thing you need in the middle of a big race.

:14:54. > :14:56.This is the team bus of Irish cycling team

:14:57. > :14:58.Aqua Blue Sport who are competing in the Vuelta a Espana.

:14:59. > :15:03.It was destroyed in an apparent arson attack overnight.

:15:04. > :15:05.The bus had been parked outside their team hotel.

:15:06. > :15:11.on Twitter: "Our team bus has been completely damaged in a cowardly

:15:12. > :15:25.The expedition team making history by sailing their way

:15:26. > :15:37.We'll hear how they're getting on from onboard their yacht.

:15:38. > :15:40.It was 20 years ago to the day that Diana, Princess of Wales died

:15:41. > :15:43.Several public events have been taking place

:15:44. > :15:45.to commemorate the anniversary, and members of the public have

:15:46. > :15:47.been leaving tributes at Kensington Palace.

:15:48. > :15:49.Her sons, Princes William and Harry, marked the day privately.

:15:50. > :15:51.Our royal correspondent Nicholas Witchell has been recalling

:15:52. > :15:55.the events of 20 years ago in Paris, with new insights from the then

:15:56. > :16:31.The news had come in the early hours of the morning.

:16:32. > :16:33.Diana, Princess of Wales had been involved in a serious

:16:34. > :16:36.As the world waited for news, the then British ambassador

:16:37. > :16:39.to France, Lord Michael Jay, was at the hospital

:16:40. > :16:40.with France's Interior Minister, Jean-Pierre Chevenement.

:16:41. > :16:43.As time moved on, it became clear it was more serious than we thought,

:16:44. > :16:47.and then Chevenement was taken out by one of the nurses and he came

:16:48. > :16:51.He came up to me and said, "I'm afraid she's dead."

:16:52. > :16:53.Later in the day, the Prince of Wales arrived at the hospital

:16:54. > :16:55.to bring Diana's body back to Britain.

:16:56. > :16:58.It had been Charles who'd had to break the news to William

:16:59. > :17:00.and Harry that their mother had been killed.

:17:01. > :17:02.20 years on, Lord Jay recalls the conversations

:17:03. > :17:06.He was clearly deeply moved by what had happened and talked

:17:07. > :17:09.a little bit about what it had been like in Balmoral that morning.

:17:10. > :17:11.He said how Prince William had wanted to go to

:17:12. > :17:13.church that morning - which was not, he said,

:17:14. > :17:16.something Prince William always wanted to do on a Sunday morning -

:17:17. > :17:20.But throughout that day, that morning, he had wanted to do

:17:21. > :17:23.what he thought was in the best interests of two children who had

:17:24. > :17:28.It was a week when many people struggled, not least, says Lord Jay,

:17:29. > :17:31.The nation wanted to share their grief, it seems to me,

:17:32. > :17:34.with someone, and the person they wanted to share their grief

:17:35. > :17:37.Lessons were learned at the palaces, but most importantly it's Diana's

:17:38. > :17:41.sons, now in adulthood, who appear to embody

:17:42. > :17:47.the style of monarchy people want for the future.

:17:48. > :17:49.Yesterday they looked at the tributes to their mother

:17:50. > :17:51.which had been placed outside Kensington Palace.

:17:52. > :17:53.20 years on, Diana's impact is still very real.

:17:54. > :18:25.There are warnings that could be a major explosion at this chemical

:18:26. > :18:26.plant after it lost power because of floods caused by Tropical Storm

:18:27. > :18:31.Harvey. A Pakistani court has acquitted five

:18:32. > :18:34.men of conspiracy to murder the former Prime Minister Benazir

:18:35. > :18:35.Bhutto. Ms Bhutto was killed

:18:36. > :18:38.in a gun and bomb attack The judges cited lack of evidence -

:18:39. > :18:44.but declared former President Pervez Musharraf

:18:45. > :18:47.a fugitive from justice - Mr Musharraf lives in self imposed

:18:48. > :18:51.exile, has not commented on the verdict and has denied having

:18:52. > :18:59.any role in the killing. Owen Bennett Jones is the presenter

:19:00. > :19:15.of Newshour on the BBC World Service It is an external issuing verdict.

:19:16. > :19:19.The five young boys, -- it is an astonishing verdict. The five young

:19:20. > :19:23.boys were picked up hours after Benazir Bhutto was killed, and they

:19:24. > :19:32.have been languishing in prison ever since. The evidence was presented to

:19:33. > :19:37.court, and people are surprised, if I can put it like that, that they

:19:38. > :19:40.have been acquitted. Have we been offered a detailed explanation of

:19:41. > :19:45.why the evidence has not added up to a guilty verdict? There is no detail

:19:46. > :19:49.yet. I presume it will be said that the evidence was messed up by the

:19:50. > :19:56.police, which is what normally happens in these cases. They say the

:19:57. > :19:59.forensics weren't done right, the professionals want reliable and the

:20:00. > :20:03.evidence was in some way faulty, but we are yet to see whether that is

:20:04. > :20:08.what the court has said in this case. At the end of it, you have a

:20:09. > :20:13.situation where one of the most important figures in Pakistan's

:20:14. > :20:16.history has been murdered, clearly a conspiracy. The people who did it on

:20:17. > :20:24.the day, who were accused of it, were ill 15 years old -- were all 15

:20:25. > :20:28.years. The question arises, how was that organised? Ten years later,

:20:29. > :20:33.absolutely nowhere closer to finding that out. The justice system in

:20:34. > :20:43.Pakistan may not have drawn conclusions, but there were 12 --

:20:44. > :20:57.there are Wellborn theories about how it happened. The fact is -- well

:20:58. > :21:01.worn theories. ... I guess that is the end of it, because had they been

:21:02. > :21:06.found guilty, the question would have arisen, OK, they were 15, so

:21:07. > :21:10.who organised it? It could bear more investigation. Now they have been

:21:11. > :21:14.acquitted, I can't see that there are any more questions to ask. Given

:21:15. > :21:26.the political ramifications feel as powerful as I... They were... It is

:21:27. > :21:29.a demonstration of how the Pakistan state has failed to hold to account

:21:30. > :21:33.those who plotted to kill and murdered one of the most important

:21:34. > :21:36.politicians in the country. But if you look back, the first Prime

:21:37. > :21:40.Minister of Pakistan was murdered and it was never resolved. A

:21:41. > :21:44.military ruler was murdered, never resolved. And now we have Benazir

:21:45. > :21:48.Bhutto, murdered, and it is clear from today's verdict that it will

:21:49. > :22:08.never be solved. A few weeks ago, we started

:22:09. > :22:11.following Arctic Mission. This is their website where they chop their

:22:12. > :22:16.progress. You can see them heading towards the North Pole. The journey

:22:17. > :22:24.has taken over three weeks, and they have gone as far north as they are

:22:25. > :22:29.going to. They are still almost 600 miles short of the North Pole, but

:22:30. > :22:32.it is believed that they are the first vessel in history to have

:22:33. > :22:37.sailed into the North Pole's international waters without

:22:38. > :22:40.icebreaker support. It is quite an achievement. This is some of the

:22:41. > :22:49.footage they have allowed us to use. You can see a poem about with cups.

:22:50. > :23:09.That is one of the yachts -- you can see a polar bear out with its carbs.

:23:10. > :23:15.-- it's cubs. We are at about 80 degrees north. Our mission set out

:23:16. > :23:17.to demonstrate that almost any vessel can now access the

:23:18. > :23:23.international waters around the North Pole, and this has

:23:24. > :23:28.implications for the wildlife that is already under threat from its

:23:29. > :23:34.habitat disappearing. I believe our mission has met its central

:23:35. > :23:36.objective, which was to research the wildlife and ecosystem up here,

:23:37. > :23:41.because only through a better understanding of the environment can

:23:42. > :23:47.be policymakers make the decisions that are going to work to protect
