This is Outside Source. The world is trying to agree how to respond to | :00:12. | :00:16. | |
North Korea using this hydrogen bomb. There has been condemnation | :00:17. | :00:21. | |
from all sides, but compare and contrast these two statements. When | :00:22. | :00:27. | |
a rogue regime has a nuclear weapons and an ICBM pointed at you, you do | :00:28. | :00:31. | |
not take steps to lower your guard. The peninsular issue must be | :00:32. | :00:35. | |
resolved peacefully. China will never allow chaos and war on the | :00:36. | :00:43. | |
peninsular. My Amartey is also receiving international criticism | :00:44. | :00:49. | |
for its treatment of Muslims. Just four days ago there was nothing here | :00:50. | :00:56. | |
and now look at it. It is a vast settlement, a temporary home for | :00:57. | :00:59. | |
refugees who have come over from Myanmar and have nowhere to go. Plus | :01:00. | :01:04. | |

I want to begin with the American statement at an emergency session of | :01:24. | :01:31. | |
the UN Security Council earlier. To the members of the Security Council, | :01:32. | :01:38. | |
I must say, enough is enough. We have taken an incremental approach | :01:39. | :01:41. | |
and despite the best of intentions, it has not worked. Members of this | :01:42. | :01:47. | |
council will no doubt urge negotiations and a return to talks. | :01:48. | :01:54. | |
But as I have just outlined, we have engaged in numerous direct and | :01:55. | :01:56. | |
multilateral talks with the North Korean regime, and time after time, | :01:57. | :02:01. | |
they have not worked. The time for half measures in the Security | :02:02. | :02:07. | |
Council is over. The time has come to exhaust all of our diplomatic | :02:08. | :02:11. | |
means before it is too late. We must now adopt the strongest possible | :02:12. | :02:18. | |
measures. Kim Jong-un's action cannot be seen as defensive. He | :02:19. | :02:22. | |
wants to be acknowledged as a nuclear power. But being a nuclear | :02:23. | :02:28. | |
power is not about using those terrible weapons to threaten others. | :02:29. | :02:32. | |
Nuclear powers understand their responsibilities. Kim Jong-un shows | :02:33. | :02:37. | |
no such understanding. His abusive use of missiles and his nuclear | :02:38. | :02:43. | |
threats show that he is begging for war. All of those on the Security | :02:44. | :02:48. | |
Council know that agreeing to condemn is easy but agreeing on what | :02:49. | :02:53. | |
to do next is not. America and others want more sanctions. China | :02:54. | :02:57. | |
and Russia don't. They are suggesting an exchange. North Korea | :02:58. | :03:01. | |
stops the nuclear programme, the US and South Korea stopped their | :03:02. | :03:05. | |
military drills. But Nikki Haley was not going to that today. She said | :03:06. | :03:11. | |
when a rogue regime with a nuclear weapons which as intercontinental | :03:12. | :03:13. | |
ballistic missiles is pointed at you, you do not take steps to lower | :03:14. | :03:18. | |
your guard. This is the American position. This is what the Chinese | :03:19. | :03:23. | |
said in the same meeting. The situation on the peninsular is | :03:24. | :03:27. | |
deteriorating constantly, as we speak, falling into a vicious | :03:28. | :03:33. | |
circle. The peninsular issue must be resolved peacefully. China will | :03:34. | :03:37. | |
never allow chaos and war on the peninsula. The parties concerned | :03:38. | :03:45. | |
must strengthen their sense of urgency, take due responsibilities, | :03:46. | :03:49. | |
play their jewel rolls, take practical measures, make joint | :03:50. | :03:56. | |
efforts together to ease the situation, restart the dialogue and | :03:57. | :04:00. | |
talks, and prevent further deterioration of the situation on | :04:01. | :04:04. | |
the peninsula. So China is being explicit, saying it will not allow | :04:05. | :04:09. | |
war on the peninsula, do we go back 24 hours President Trump was saying | :04:10. | :04:12. | |
he will be meeting his generals and other leaders to discuss North | :04:13. | :04:15. | |
Korea. Thank you, says the president. That is the Chinese on | :04:16. | :04:20. | |
the Americans. This is part of the South Korean response. They have | :04:21. | :04:26. | |
been carrying out missile tests and live fire drills as well as | :04:27. | :04:29. | |
reinforcing the new missile defence system. South Korea says it also | :04:30. | :04:32. | |
believes that the North is preparing for more missile tests and that that | :04:33. | :04:38. | |
matches what the North is saying. One other update to show you, some | :04:39. | :04:43. | |
copy coming into the newsroom in the last few minutes with Donald Trump | :04:44. | :04:48. | |
providing conceptual approval for South Korea to purchase many | :04:49. | :04:51. | |
billions of dollars worth from the US. More copy here, they both | :04:52. | :04:57. | |
agreed, the two presidents, to maximise pressure on North Korea | :04:58. | :05:02. | |
using all means at their disposal. Earlier I spoke to Richard Lister in | :05:03. | :05:07. | |
Washington to get more on America's position and their options as it | :05:08. | :05:13. | |
faces this crisis. I think the United States except now that there | :05:14. | :05:17. | |
are no good military options that it has at its disposal when it comes to | :05:18. | :05:21. | |
North Korea. After all, successive American governments have been | :05:22. | :05:24. | |
looking at the issue. President Clinton came quite close in 1994 to | :05:25. | :05:30. | |
assessing whether or not to launch a military attack against North Korea | :05:31. | :05:33. | |
and decided ultimately it was not worth the cost and that has been the | :05:34. | :05:38. | |
assessment made by every president who has come along since, that if | :05:39. | :05:41. | |
you do strike North Korea, it will inevitably strike the capital of | :05:42. | :05:47. | |
South Korea, which is close to the border of North Korea and tens of | :05:48. | :05:51. | |
thousands of people will almost certainly be killed and many more | :05:52. | :05:55. | |
injured. The assessment is, for the moment, at least, there are no good | :05:56. | :05:59. | |
military options facing the United States, but the calculation is also | :06:00. | :06:03. | |
this. There is increasing concern about this and that the moment, if | :06:04. | :06:09. | |
the US struck North Korea, yes, you would still have that level of | :06:10. | :06:12. | |
casualties in South Korea but if you waited a couple of years and gave | :06:13. | :06:17. | |
North Korea time to perfect and refine. Then it could be that the | :06:18. | :06:22. | |
counter attack involves city in the US. So then what do you do? Let's | :06:23. | :06:28. | |
also took about sanctions. The Americans pushing for more. Can you | :06:29. | :06:32. | |
explain to viewers who might be confused that we have already had | :06:33. | :06:35. | |
years of condemnation and sanctions. Why are the Americans convinced that | :06:36. | :06:39. | |
more than this can make a difference? It's certainly true that | :06:40. | :06:45. | |
North Korea relies on getting hard foreign currency to fund the missile | :06:46. | :06:51. | |
and nuclear development programmes we have seen so much of over recent | :06:52. | :06:58. | |
months. And it is clear that it needs a level of foreign funding to | :06:59. | :07:05. | |
do that by selling products abroad. The seventh and the most recent | :07:06. | :07:10. | |
round of sanctions were aimed at stopping the exports of coal and | :07:11. | :07:15. | |
iron, for example, but not all of the North Korean exports were | :07:16. | :07:20. | |
affected and targeted. It also exports a lot of textiles, mostly to | :07:21. | :07:23. | |
China but also other countries and gets a lot of money from that. And | :07:24. | :07:28. | |
it has foreign workers, North Korean workers in Russia and China and they | :07:29. | :07:31. | |
are also able to earn a lot of foreign current -- currency. Here is | :07:32. | :07:40. | |
Vincent from BBC Chinese. First of all, the Chinese approach has always | :07:41. | :07:43. | |
been very consistent. It wants a diplomatic solution rather than a | :07:44. | :07:46. | |
military one. In this case China might call for the resumption of the | :07:47. | :07:52. | |
long collapsed six party talks. China wants to bring everybody to | :07:53. | :07:57. | |
the table to talk about solving the North Korean issues, but the | :07:58. | :08:01. | |
Americans are not keen. Nicky Hayley has objected to this approach with | :08:02. | :08:07. | |
the UN Security Council meeting today. But I suppose China would | :08:08. | :08:10. | |
insist on this because eventually China does not want to see a war on | :08:11. | :08:17. | |
the Korean peninsula and on its doorstep. The Chinese could do more | :08:18. | :08:22. | |
economically. They could stop oil being imported from China into North | :08:23. | :08:25. | |
Korea. They could not buy products from North Korea. Why are they not | :08:26. | :08:32. | |
doing it? China can do more. 80 or 90% of trade from North Korea is | :08:33. | :08:37. | |
with the Chinese but if you talk to Chinese diplomats as well as the | :08:38. | :08:41. | |
analysts, they feel that North Korea is such a regime that it can do what | :08:42. | :08:49. | |
ever it takes to pursue the ideological goal, so even though | :08:50. | :08:54. | |
China might be able to suspend the trade with North Korea, it is still | :08:55. | :08:58. | |
going to pursue its nuclear facility. It is no touristy | :08:59. | :09:04. | |
difficult to gauge public opinion in China on any issue, but as far as we | :09:05. | :09:08. | |
can go, do we know what the people of China would like the government | :09:09. | :09:12. | |
to do? -- no Torea sleep difficult. If you look at the response over the | :09:13. | :09:18. | |
weekend to the test, the Chinese public are very worried about the | :09:19. | :09:24. | |
approach. We have seen that people are questioning whether the | :09:25. | :09:30. | |
traditional approach and whether that approach has been successful, | :09:31. | :09:35. | |
and the Russian commentators will tell you that there are traumas | :09:36. | :09:44. | |
following the nuclear test. , and some residents fear that any problem | :09:45. | :09:52. | |
in North Korea must spill to China. For more cry on the North Korea | :09:53. | :09:57. | |
crisis you can get it on the BBC News website -- for more background. | :09:58. | :10:01. | |
Let's talk about the increase of Myanmar the criticism of and its | :10:02. | :10:11. | |
treatment of the Rohingya minorities. They are calling for an | :10:12. | :10:14. | |
end to the government military campaign. On top of that, Indonesia, | :10:15. | :10:18. | |
which has the largest population of Muslims in the world -- in the | :10:19. | :10:23. | |
region, is calling for action. Here is the president speaking earlier. | :10:24. | :10:29. | |
Myself and the people of Indonesia, will we regret and condemn the | :10:30. | :10:35. | |
violence that took place in Myanmar. There needs to be real action and | :10:36. | :10:42. | |
not just criticism. The story is made all more, located by fact that | :10:43. | :10:47. | |
the de facto leader of Myanmar is the Nobel Peace Prize winner and | :10:48. | :10:51. | |
former political prisoner, someone fated around the world but not so | :10:52. | :10:58. | |
much now. She has made no public comment since this began. This is | :10:59. | :11:02. | |
what the UN thinks of this --. On top of that we have had this | :11:03. | :11:10. | |
statement. All of this is happening while | :11:11. | :11:30. | |
people are fleeing Myanmar at an extraordinary rate. It is estimated | :11:31. | :11:34. | |
that 87,000 people have left their homes in the last ten days, most of | :11:35. | :11:39. | |
them having gone to neighbouring Bangladesh. This is where we're at | :11:40. | :11:47. | |
the meeting some of them. She is two days old, born inside a refugee | :11:48. | :11:48. | |
camp. Her parents are Rohingyas - | :11:49. | :12:04. | |
ethnic Muslims from Myanmar, denied citizenship and now fleeing | :12:05. | :12:06. | |
persecution. The baby's mother says they left | :12:07. | :12:08. | |
after their village was attacked, TRANSLATION: We fled | :12:09. | :12:10. | |
and crossed the river We were very scared about | :12:11. | :12:13. | |
what the military would do to us. After coming here, we heard | :12:14. | :12:18. | |
that our house has been burnt down. Do you think you'll ever be able | :12:19. | :12:20. | |
to take your baby back Their home is now a vast refugee | :12:21. | :12:23. | |
camp, along with tens of Rohingyas now living | :12:24. | :12:30. | |
in these squalid conditions. Many of them eating their first | :12:31. | :12:35. | |
proper meal in days. Just four days ago, | :12:36. | :12:37. | |
there was nothing here. It was just a side a hill | :12:38. | :12:40. | |
with a clump of trees on it. It's a vast settlement, a temporary | :12:41. | :12:43. | |
home for all the Rohingya refugees who've come over from Myanmar | :12:44. | :12:48. | |
and have nowhere to go. Even this place is going to reach | :12:49. | :12:54. | |
its limit in a few days. Bangladesh is now struggling to cope | :12:55. | :12:57. | |
with the growing numbers Especially as many more | :12:58. | :12:59. | |
are waiting at the border. The mask -- the vast majority of | :13:00. | :13:16. | |
Rohingya Muslims live here, and these are the latest pictures we | :13:17. | :13:27. | |
have from there, and the army and the confidence are blaming each | :13:28. | :13:31. | |
other. Both are saying they are acting to pretend -- protect | :13:32. | :13:34. | |
civilians, which leaves us with the challenge of trying to decide who to | :13:35. | :13:39. | |
believe. I have turned for help to the south Asia editor of the BBC | :13:40. | :13:45. | |
newsroom. It's really hard to verify, not least because | :13:46. | :13:46. | |
international journalists are basically not able to get into that | :13:47. | :13:51. | |
state at the moment and even some of the aid agency workers who have been | :13:52. | :13:55. | |
based in the area are being blocked from entering, so it's very | :13:56. | :13:59. | |
difficult. We know from some satellite imagery that the burn-outs | :14:00. | :14:02. | |
are taking place and they seem to be targeting villages and houses. It is | :14:03. | :14:08. | |
monsoon season so it's not a time you would expect natural fires to | :14:09. | :14:12. | |
occur. And we are getting the testimony from people who are | :14:13. | :14:14. | |
fleeing into Bangladeshi were talking about attacks on their home | :14:15. | :14:18. | |
and villages, mostly by the Bernie 's military but also by what they | :14:19. | :14:24. | |
call Buddhist militant gangs, local people who seem to be attacking | :14:25. | :14:25. | |
them. We turn to Germany, just three weeks | :14:26. | :14:36. | |
away from the election. Angela Merkel and Martin Schultz went live | :14:37. | :14:40. | |
on TV to thrash out the main -- issues and we will hear how it went. | :14:41. | :14:48. | |
In Northern Ireland, the Secretary of State has said the government | :14:49. | :14:52. | |
will be forced to legislate for a budget if a storm on executive | :14:53. | :14:57. | |
cannot be re-established. James Brokenshire was talking after | :14:58. | :15:00. | |
meetings with the five main parties to try and resolve | :15:01. | :15:01. | |
an eight-month impasse. I cannot ignore the impact that the current | :15:02. | :15:16. | |
impasse is having on the local economy and the delivery of key | :15:17. | :15:21. | |
public services. The window of opportunity to restore devolution | :15:22. | :15:27. | |
and to form an executive is closing rapidly as we move further into the | :15:28. | :15:33. | |
autumn. And with pressures in public services already evident, most | :15:34. | :15:38. | |
particularly in the health service, the need for intervention is | :15:39. | :15:40. | |
becoming increasingly clear. This is Outside Source and the world | :15:41. | :16:02. | |
is trying to decide how to react to the latest North Korean nuclear | :16:03. | :16:05. | |
test, but China and the US have very different ideas on how to handle the | :16:06. | :16:13. | |
situation. So, in under three weeks, it will be the German election. Last | :16:14. | :16:18. | |
night voters in their millions sat down to watch this, Angela Merkel | :16:19. | :16:22. | |
taking on her main rival, Martin Schultz in a live TV with debate. | :16:23. | :16:26. | |
Immigration was the central issue and there was also agreement that | :16:27. | :16:29. | |
Turkey should not join the European union. Here is the thought is on how | :16:30. | :16:39. | |
it went. In general, the economy keeps growing, so it's in a positive | :16:40. | :16:44. | |
situation, and she is happy with her own economic situation that makes it | :16:45. | :16:47. | |
difficult that anyone to really challenge Angela Merkel, especially | :16:48. | :16:51. | |
when coming from a rather similar political direction. So the general | :16:52. | :16:56. | |
consensus was that Angela Merkel won the debate. You did not expect | :16:57. | :17:01. | |
Martin Schultz to agree with that. I think the TV debate has shown that | :17:02. | :17:04. | |
there are two candidates running in this election who are capable of | :17:05. | :17:08. | |
leading the country. Angela Merkel has done this for 12 years already | :17:09. | :17:13. | |
and I think I have shown to the general public and Germany that I | :17:14. | :17:17. | |
have a better plan for the future of the country, for a European journey | :17:18. | :17:22. | |
that is strong within Europe. Let's talk to our chief European | :17:23. | :17:26. | |
correspondent for Politico. Thank you for your time, Matthew. Added to | :17:27. | :17:32. | |
see the debate last night? -- how did you see? It was a bit boring and | :17:33. | :17:36. | |
disappointing for many of us who were hoping to see a real exchange | :17:37. | :17:41. | |
between the candidates. It is the only debate that they will be having | :17:42. | :17:44. | |
in the campaign season and really the only opportunity that Martin | :17:45. | :17:48. | |
Schultz had to make up a lot of the ground he had lost to Angela Merkel | :17:49. | :17:54. | |
over the last few months. He is about 15 points behind now so this | :17:55. | :17:58. | |
really was his 1-shot to convince German voters that he is the man who | :17:59. | :18:05. | |
should be running the country and, by all accounts, he failed in that | :18:06. | :18:10. | |
task. I mention in my introduction that immigration came up again and | :18:11. | :18:14. | |
again during the debate. Had you explain to viewers around the world | :18:15. | :18:18. | |
that immigration has not become more of a problem for Angela Merkel after | :18:19. | :18:24. | |
the decision she took in 2015? The reason that is simple. Over the past | :18:25. | :18:29. | |
year and a half, her government has really brought that problem under | :18:30. | :18:33. | |
control together with some of other European countries. They really | :18:34. | :18:38. | |
stemmed the flow of new migrants into Germany and they managed to | :18:39. | :18:43. | |
deal with many of those who are here, so you have about 1 million | :18:44. | :18:48. | |
people who came in in 2015 and by most estimation, they are doing OK. | :18:49. | :18:54. | |
You don't have people living in gymnasiums and the kind of things | :18:55. | :18:58. | |
that were very unnerving to a lot of Germans at the time. Yes, you have | :18:59. | :19:02. | |
problems with terrorist attacks, but the refugees don't tend to get | :19:03. | :19:09. | |
blamed. Most Germans are now looking at other issues, more future | :19:10. | :19:14. | |
orientated issues in terms of income, housing, internal security | :19:15. | :19:19. | |
is a big topic, but also things like taxation, digitalisation and these | :19:20. | :19:23. | |
things. All of which got short shrift in the debate last night. | :19:24. | :19:27. | |
From what you are saying, it is less about whether Angela Merkel wins, | :19:28. | :19:30. | |
but more about the size of the victory and the coalition she has to | :19:31. | :19:37. | |
perform? I think at this stage it is about third place. There was another | :19:38. | :19:40. | |
debate tonight between the smaller parties, several of them on German | :19:41. | :19:46. | |
public television and it was a much livelier debate with actual | :19:47. | :19:49. | |
differences and candidates clashing with one another and it sort of | :19:50. | :19:55. | |
revived a lot of people's hopes about Germany's political culture | :19:56. | :19:59. | |
because you had actual debate taking place which we did not see last | :20:00. | :20:04. | |
night. So this third place question will be absolutely central when it | :20:05. | :20:09. | |
comes to the coalition building that will happen after September the | :20:10. | :20:13. | |
24th. Matthew, thank you very much. On Wednesday I will travel to | :20:14. | :20:17. | |
Germany and we will be live on Thursday to covering the election | :20:18. | :20:21. | |
campaign in Germany. This is not a planned double plug for Politico, | :20:22. | :20:25. | |
but thank you to Matthew, and this is in an article they are running | :20:26. | :20:31. | |
about the Brexit talks. UK seeks continuous talks to propel Brexit | :20:32. | :20:35. | |
resolution. It quotes a senior UK Government officials saying they | :20:36. | :20:37. | |
want a change to the current one week a month format that the warm is | :20:38. | :20:43. | |
taking and they want more talks to resolve the major issues. Another | :20:44. | :20:47. | |
thing to talk about is that on Tuesday the British Parliament | :20:48. | :20:50. | |
begins debating the EU withdrawal bill which, if it is passed, will | :20:51. | :20:56. | |
transfer relevant EU law on to the UK statute books. Chris Mason is | :20:57. | :21:02. | |
here. Good to see you. What you make of the Politico story? Visit ring | :21:03. | :21:07. | |
true that there is frustration at the speed? -- does it ring true? | :21:08. | :21:12. | |
Yes, the British government is very keen to make progress. The European | :21:13. | :21:15. | |
Union said it wanted three things resolved in the negotiations before | :21:16. | :21:19. | |
a discussion starts about the future relationship in trade. They want to | :21:20. | :21:22. | |
resolve the issue of the Irish border, what will be the frontier | :21:23. | :21:27. | |
between the UK and the European Union, the frontier border between | :21:28. | :21:30. | |
Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. The whole issue of citizens | :21:31. | :21:35. | |
rights, so people from elsewhere in the EU living in the UK and British | :21:36. | :21:39. | |
people living elsewhere in the EU, and then crucially the whole issue | :21:40. | :21:43. | |
of what is described as the divorce payment, in other words, money. The | :21:44. | :21:48. | |
progress up to those now on those three things has been pretty slow, | :21:49. | :21:52. | |
to the frustration of both sides. What the British government is | :21:53. | :21:56. | |
saying in a briefing at Westminster today is that they want to step up | :21:57. | :22:00. | |
the frequency of the negotiations and instead of meeting one week in | :22:01. | :22:05. | |
four, they want to step that up. Last week, Michel Barnier also | :22:06. | :22:11. | |
entertained the idea of meeting more frequently. So while that is not | :22:12. | :22:15. | |
nailed down, I think it will be quickly agreed. I guess the debate | :22:16. | :22:20. | |
in the Commons later this week will be the latest test for the small | :22:21. | :22:25. | |
majority that Theresa May has in the Commons. Theresa May's Parliamentary | :22:26. | :22:29. | |
predicament is precarious and that is the reality she will have to live | :22:30. | :22:34. | |
with. In all likelihood for as long as she is Prime Minister. There is | :22:35. | :22:38. | |
this big slab of legislation that will dominate the work of the | :22:39. | :22:42. | |
British Parliament for months, the European Union withdrawal bill that | :22:43. | :22:46. | |
will unpick the membership of the European Union and bring back power | :22:47. | :22:52. | |
to Westminster which will prove controversial and with her small | :22:53. | :22:56. | |
majority it will make it all the harder for her to navigate it onto | :22:57. | :23:00. | |
the statute book. Chris, good to see you. We must switch from Westminster | :23:01. | :23:07. | |
to Texas, because the cost of rebuilding of the hurricane Harvey | :23:08. | :23:11. | |
is climbing and the Texas governor is now saying that the damage is | :23:12. | :23:15. | |
worse than hurricane Katrina in 2005. He is putting the potential | :23:16. | :23:22. | |
bill at 180 billion dollars, and bear in mind that 43,000 people are | :23:23. | :23:27. | |
being housed in shelters. Let's bring in Michelle, who is normally | :23:28. | :23:31. | |
in New York, but she is in Dickerson, Texas. Tell us about | :23:32. | :23:37. | |
Dickinson. Where I am standing right now is half an hour south of | :23:38. | :23:43. | |
Houston. What happened here is that many of the streets found that, | :23:44. | :23:47. | |
overnight, on Saturday when the hurricane passed through, the water | :23:48. | :23:56. | |
levels, the local by you -- Bayview, started to rise on the water kept | :23:57. | :24:01. | |
climbing, first a foot, then a second thought. People were in their | :24:02. | :24:04. | |
homes not sure what to do. Would they need to flee? People were | :24:05. | :24:13. | |
worried. Did everybody get out? As you can see now the sun is shining | :24:14. | :24:16. | |
and the clean-up has begun. I don't know if you can see over my shoulder | :24:17. | :24:19. | |
but a car is being towed away and many vehicles were lost. It wasn't | :24:20. | :24:24. | |
just homes damaged as people are starting to clean up. The shift is | :24:25. | :24:28. | |
moving from rescue to recovery. Michelle, thank you very much for | :24:29. | :24:35. | |
that update. A developing story here in the BBC newsroom, because the | :24:36. | :24:39. | |
UK's public relations and communications Association has | :24:40. | :24:50. | |
expelled the firm Bell Pottinger, aspera it was revealed that it was | :24:51. | :24:53. | |
involved in the South African campaign that fuelled Rachel | :24:54. | :24:58. | |
tensions. Here is the background to the story, which involves a family, | :24:59. | :24:59. | |
a powerful family. There is a hugely controversial | :25:00. | :25:12. | |
set of South African They hail from India and, | :25:13. | :25:14. | |
over 25 years, they have amassed phenomenal power and influence | :25:15. | :25:18. | |
in South Africa. They have a conglomerate that | :25:19. | :25:20. | |
spreads from mining to media. They have some problems | :25:21. | :25:22. | |
with a reputation, because they are accused of rampant | :25:23. | :25:24. | |
corruption, allegations they deny. They hired a British PR firm to look | :25:25. | :25:26. | |
after their reputation. They did so through a firm called | :25:27. | :25:29. | |
Oakbay, which they own. It seems that Bell Pottinger have | :25:30. | :25:32. | |
been up to some mischief, basically, where they have been using some very | :25:33. | :25:35. | |
modern methods to try to improve They are allegations that | :25:36. | :25:38. | |
Bell Pottinger tonight, about the use of fake Twitter | :25:39. | :25:41. | |
accounts, about spreading this very poisonous term | :25:42. | :25:44. | |
about white monopoly capital, which is obviously toxic | :25:45. | :25:45. | |
in a country that is riven There is more background on the | :25:46. | :25:55. | |
story. I'll be back with you for more of the main global stories in a | :25:56. | :25:56. | |
couple of minutes. Weather is making headlines across | :25:57. | :26:12. | |
the world at the moment, and you can bet that when I say that, it's not | :26:13. | :26:16. | |
going to be for the best of reasons. Let me take you into the | :26:17. | :26:19. | |
mid-Atlantic where this particular weather system has not even made | :26:20. | :26:23. | |
headlines yet, but as it continues to strengthen with regards to the | :26:24. | :26:27. | |
wind, so it will turn eventually into hurricane Irma and we think it | :26:28. | :26:36. | |
will go close to the top of the Leeward Islands in the Caribbean, | :26:37. | :26:39. | |
and from thereon is there is a greater degree of uncertainty about | :26:40. | :26:43. | |
its track but what I'm about to show you is a code of uncertainty. The | :26:44. | :26:47. | |
track, we suspect will lie in that. The storm is not getting bigger, | :26:48. | :26:52. | |
it's just that over time you can well imagine that the variables | :26:53. | :26:57. | |
increase, and then it could go further north or south, but I am | :26:58. | :27:01. | |
certain the Saint -- system is strengthening and the rainfall will | :27:02. | :27:04. | |
be extraordinary and the wind strength will be damaging at over | :27:05. | :27:10. | |
200 kilometres per hour. Going further west, in British Columbia, | :27:11. | :27:14. | |
the fire season has been the worst on record with 1 million hectares | :27:15. | :27:18. | |
burnt out and some 50,000 people since mid-July have had to leave | :27:19. | :27:22. | |
their home at some time or another. That is not the only area on the | :27:23. | :27:26. | |
western side of the Americas badly affected by fires. You might have | :27:27. | :27:30. | |
seen the headlines from the weekends which suggested that the fire in the | :27:31. | :27:34. | |
vicinity of LA was the worst in the city's history. Thankfully over the | :27:35. | :27:38. | |
next couple of days the temperatures are set to fall and some of the | :27:39. | :27:41. | |
winds are set to ease down, but it is relative. Let me take you to | :27:42. | :27:47. | |
South Asia, and this story has been making the headlines because the | :27:48. | :27:52. | |
floods have been the worst in deck dies -- decades, with 1.7 million | :27:53. | :27:57. | |
homes destroyed in Nepal, Bangladesh and the northern states of India. | :27:58. | :28:01. | |
The great clouds we expect to see in the monsoon are there to be had, but | :28:02. | :28:05. | |
through Tuesday some of the heaviest rain might be found across some of | :28:06. | :28:08. | |
the southern states of India where there has been a drought in some | :28:09. | :28:13. | |
areas and again in Assam in north-east area -- India they have | :28:14. | :28:17. | |
seen their fair share. This is not the only game in town because we had | :28:18. | :28:20. | |
a tropical depression moving towards the southern provinces of China and | :28:21. | :28:25. | |
we have another potential area for development to the north of the | :28:26. | :28:29. | |
Philippines and as far ahead as Wednesday and Thursday we noticed | :28:30. | :28:32. | |
that the islands of Japan might get more than their fair share of | :28:33. | :28:36. | |
rainfall as well. Any good news to report on the weather front? There | :28:37. | :28:41. | |
is. Still some summer heat to be had across the southern areas of Europe. | :28:42. | :28:46. | |
Further north, low-pressure providing wet and windy fair, but if | :28:47. | :28:50. | |
you want some really wet and windy weather, come a bit closer to home | :28:51. | :28:55. | |
and I will leave Louise to tell you the details of all of that. | :28:56. | :30:06. | |
Hello, I'm Ros Atkins, this is Outside Source. | :30:07. | :30:08. | |
The world is trying to agree how to respond to North Korea | :30:09. | :30:11. | |
There's condemnation from all sides - but compare and contrast | :30:12. | :30:16. | |
When a rogue regime has a nuclear weapons and an ICBM pointed at you, | :30:17. | :30:34. | |
you do not take steps to lower your guard. TRANSLATION: The peninsular | :30:35. | :30:39. | |

quote, talking about what people can do if they want to help, if they | :30:57. | :31:00. | |
want to help end racism. Obviously it was taken out of context. All | :31:01. | :31:02. | |
people saw was the angry middle bit. Plus BBC Arabic on the Islamic State | :31:03. | :31:04. | |
Group under pressure in Syria - and a BBC investigation | :31:05. | :31:08. | |
into IS recruitment in the UK. The American ambassador | :31:09. | :31:27. | |
to the United Nations, has urged fellow members | :31:28. | :31:29. | |
of the security council to take the strongest possible measures | :31:30. | :31:31. | |
against North Korea. China took a different view, | :31:32. | :31:33. | |
saying that it would "never allow A day after North Korea's most | :31:34. | :31:56. | |
powerful nuclear tests, the South displayed it might. Missiles were | :31:57. | :32:03. | |
launched from the ground and the air. It was a test run. South Korea | :32:04. | :32:08. | |
showing off how it could attack Pyongyang's nuclear site. This is a | :32:09. | :32:14. | |
strong reaction from a country that for months now has been desperately | :32:15. | :32:17. | |
trying to avoid conflict in the Korean peninsula. Across the sea in | :32:18. | :32:24. | |
Japan, the government gave worrying details about North Korea's latest | :32:25. | :32:25. | |
test. TRANSLATION: The evidence suggests | :32:26. | :32:35. | |
that the North conducted a hydrogen bomb test. The government had to | :32:36. | :32:39. | |
conclude the test was a success, considering the huge power is | :32:40. | :32:41. | |
generated. Pyongyang has successfully tested a weapon that | :32:42. | :32:45. | |
poses a grave threat to Japan's security. A hydrogen bomb is vastly | :32:46. | :32:52. | |
more powerful than the bomb that destroyed Hiroshima, and North Korea | :32:53. | :32:57. | |
says that is what its leader is looking at here. The country has | :32:58. | :33:04. | |
conducted six nuclear tests so far. But the pace has really accelerated | :33:05. | :33:10. | |
since Kim Jong-un came to power. In New York, at an emergency UN | :33:11. | :33:13. | |
Security Council meeting, the US lashed out at the North Korean | :33:14. | :33:19. | |
leader. Nuclear powers understand the responsibilities. Kim Jong-un | :33:20. | :33:24. | |
shows no such understanding. His abusive use of missiles and his | :33:25. | :33:30. | |
nuclear threats show he is begging for war. The people in South Korea | :33:31. | :33:34. | |
have dealt with the threat from the North for a long time now. But | :33:35. | :33:39. | |
perhaps never before has a nuclear test and multiple missile tests come | :33:40. | :33:43. | |
in such quick succession. Really ratcheting up the pressure on the | :33:44. | :33:49. | |
government here in Seoul and it's allies. This is America's latest | :33:50. | :33:53. | |
anti-missile system, designed to shoot down enemy rockets. It has now | :33:54. | :33:59. | |
been deployed in South Korea. The Allies might be able to defend | :34:00. | :34:04. | |
themselves against an attack. But no matter how much North Korea provokes | :34:05. | :34:08. | |
them, striking the country's nuclear base is not an easy option. This is | :34:09. | :34:16. | |
very important. North Korea will certainly retaliate and South Korea | :34:17. | :34:20. | |
will be the main victim of being sandwiched between the hardline | :34:21. | :34:29. | |
United States and North Korea. And so, for now, South Korea continues | :34:30. | :34:32. | |
to build up its arsenal, while hoping never to use it. | :34:33. | :34:38. | |
In the last couple of weeks we have talked a great deal about the Iraqi | :34:39. | :34:43. | |
government's efforts to reclaim the town of Tal Afar in the north-west | :34:44. | :34:49. | |
of the country, reclaim it from the Islamic State group. Last week they | :34:50. | :34:58. | |
said they had done that, and now we must turn attention to Syria. | :34:59. | :34:59. | |
This week in Syria, government forces there say they're closing | :35:00. | :35:02. | |
Half of it and much of the surrounding province | :35:03. | :35:06. | |
It's particular important to the group because its de facto | :35:07. | :35:09. | |
For more on this I've been speaking to Rasha Qandeel from BBC Arabic. | :35:10. | :35:18. | |
The Deir al-Zour battle is most probably more important than Raqqa, | :35:19. | :35:25. | |
because basically the SDF is closing the ammunition line on the way | :35:26. | :35:28. | |
The SDF being the Syrian Defence Force? | :35:29. | :35:31. | |
And it's closing the ammunition line in front of so-called Islamic State. | :35:32. | :35:40. | |
So if the battle is basically for the American forces | :35:41. | :35:42. | |
and the Syrian regime forces, and most probably the Syrian | :35:43. | :35:49. | |
opposition forces, that means that Islamic State, | :35:50. | :35:53. | |
so-called Islamic State, is defeated in Raqqa as well. | :35:54. | :35:58. | |
As we know, it is the capital for the caliphate of this organisation. | :35:59. | :36:03. | |
So the Deir al-Zour battle is essential for the organisation, | :36:04. | :36:07. | |
So we are in a strange situation where different countries | :36:08. | :36:13. | |
and different groups, who don't agree on lots of things, | :36:14. | :36:16. | |
And Deir al-Zour specifically is very important for all priorities. | :36:17. | :36:25. | |
From the West, for example, it's very important for the Syrian | :36:26. | :36:33. | |
regime, from the east it is important for the backed | :36:34. | :36:35. | |
opposition, by the umbrella of the American air force. | :36:36. | :36:47. | |
So they say, other people that are watching over this battle, | :36:48. | :36:51. | |
they say it is part of the bigger arrangements between | :36:52. | :36:54. | |
So, for example, if the Syrian regime is coming over the parts | :36:55. | :37:02. | |
the United States doesn't want the Syrian regime to come, | :37:03. | :37:06. | |
And if the opposition is going a little bit towards the west, | :37:07. | :37:12. | |
where it becomes the south of Syria, where it becomes Daraa, | :37:13. | :37:18. | |
it belongs a little bit to the territories where Jordan | :37:19. | :37:21. | |
and the South is affected, they might actually | :37:22. | :37:23. | |
Do you remember when we were talking about parts of the Madaya siege? | :37:24. | :37:36. | |
The humanitarian situation was catastrophic. | :37:37. | :37:40. | |
A few months ago we were saying that if the arrangement | :37:41. | :37:44. | |
between the United States and Russia is becoming complicated | :37:45. | :37:46. | |
in the south, this is actually the south-east. | :37:47. | :37:51. | |
So this is when you and I were talking a few months ago and saying | :37:52. | :37:54. | |
there might be a situation where it is going to become very | :37:55. | :37:57. | |
crowded on the ground, as it was crowded in the air, | :37:58. | :37:59. | |
and it is happening now in Deir al-Zour. | :38:00. | :38:07. | |
That have been a number of deadly terror attacks in the UK this year. | :38:08. | :38:13. | |
All of them have been claimed by the Islamic State group. This was the | :38:14. | :38:17. | |
Westminster attack when a car was driven into pedestrians. These are | :38:18. | :38:21. | |
pictures that came in on the evening of the London Bridge attack, when a | :38:22. | :38:23. | |
number of people were stabbed and a van was used as a weapon. A BBC | :38:24. | :38:29. | |
investigation has found that IS was trying to recruit people for attacks | :38:30. | :38:34. | |
in the same locations, and they were doing this back in 2016. This is | :38:35. | :38:40. | |
part of a report by the BBC London team, Inside Out. Reporters, posing | :38:41. | :38:49. | |
as teenagers, contacted recruiters and passed the information to | :38:50. | :38:52. | |
security forces as it was received. Here is a clip about a reporter | :38:53. | :38:57. | |
talking to a recruiter trying to convince into to attack London | :38:58. | :38:58. | |
Bridge in 2016. He was trying to persuade me to | :38:59. | :39:27. | |
carry out some attacks. He also gave me the option of doing it alone or | :39:28. | :39:35. | |
along with 18. -- along with a team. In December of last year, the same | :39:36. | :39:40. | |
recruiter directed our journalist to view explicit terrorist tutorials on | :39:41. | :39:45. | |
the Dark Web. One showed how to use a vehicle how to kill people. The | :39:46. | :39:49. | |
other showed how to use knives and home-made bombs for maximum impact | :39:50. | :39:54. | |
on people. Finally, there was a description of how to create a fake | :39:55. | :40:00. | |
suicide vest, and how it can be used to stop the police from attacking | :40:01. | :40:02. | |
you if you are standing next to civilians. | :40:03. | :40:06. | |
That clip was from BBC London Inside Out's investigation - | :40:07. | :40:09. | |
you can see bits of it online or the whole piece | :40:10. | :40:12. | |
Zack Adesina is from the team, earlier I asked him how hard | :40:13. | :40:21. | |
It was actually very easy at the time. | :40:22. | :40:29. | |
What they were doing was advertising themselves on Twitter and Facebook. | :40:30. | :40:34. | |
Once they had made contact with someone, or someone had | :40:35. | :40:37. | |
made contact with them, they then introduce | :40:38. | :40:38. | |
How quickly does the conversation escalate from general discussions | :40:39. | :40:52. | |
around Islamic State and its beliefs to the specifics of | :40:53. | :40:55. | |
Well, the longest time was four weeks. | :40:56. | :41:03. | |
What you have to realise is that they are texting insistently. | :41:04. | :41:06. | |
One of our reporters was receiving up to 24 messages a day. | :41:07. | :41:11. | |
Do you have any indication as to where these recruiters were? | :41:12. | :41:18. | |
We are aware that they were in Syria. | :41:19. | :41:20. | |
Some of them, in their attempts to groom our undercover reporters, | :41:21. | :41:25. | |
So they would film themselves in Syria. | :41:26. | :41:31. | |
We also know from other sources that they were in Syria. | :41:32. | :41:37. | |
Presumably, what we are learning here is that multiple attempts | :41:38. | :41:39. | |
were made to find people who would carry out the kind | :41:40. | :41:42. | |
Think you have hit it on the nail, that is exactly what the plans are. | :41:43. | :41:48. | |
What we have discovered is that they attempt to groom | :41:49. | :41:50. | |
several people at any time online, on social media sites. | :41:51. | :41:57. | |
We've also discovered from a psychologist that they use | :41:58. | :41:59. | |
So they have a certain trope, a way of pulling people in, | :42:00. | :42:11. | |
and it is a method they use almost like they shoot several places | :42:12. | :42:14. | |
and they only need one hits to get someone to carry out their acts. | :42:15. | :42:18. | |
I must ask, because people will be wondering. | :42:19. | :42:20. | |
Once you start engaging with people that are planning terrorism? | :42:21. | :42:24. | |
The law is that you should not engage, and anyone that does | :42:25. | :42:27. | |
is breaking the law and is breaking terrorism laws specifically. | :42:28. | :42:29. | |
We were in contact with the security services right from the beginning | :42:30. | :42:32. | |
and every single exchange we had with them was passed | :42:33. | :42:35. | |
Of course, the problem for them is how to identify one item as a red | :42:36. | :42:42. | |
alert as opposed to one that is a dud. | :42:43. | :42:45. | |
That is the difficulty that they have. | :42:46. | :42:55. | |
In a few minutes, I will play you how one transgender model who was | :42:56. | :43:01. | |
dropped by L'Oreal for saying all white people benefit from racism has | :43:02. | :43:02. | |
had to say about that decision. The policing Minister has told | :43:03. | :43:13. | |
the Police Superintendents conference that the Government | :43:14. | :43:15. | |
'is not deaf' to their concerns over Nick Hurd said in the light | :43:16. | :43:18. | |
of recent budget cuts he realised there was a limit to how much more | :43:19. | :43:22. | |
officers could do. A survey of superintendents found | :43:23. | :43:28. | |
half were suffering from work related anxiety and a quarter had | :43:29. | :43:30. | |
signs of depression. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge | :43:31. | :43:35. | |
have announced they're The Duchess is again | :43:36. | :43:37. | |
suffering from a severe form of morning sickness - | :43:38. | :43:40. | |
as she has done with her previous pregnancies - | :43:41. | :43:43. | |
which meant she had to cancel Our royal correspondent | :43:44. | :43:45. | |
Nicholas Witchell reports. The Duchess of Cambridge last week, | :43:46. | :43:51. | |
with her husband and Prince Harry. No hint then of the announcement | :43:52. | :43:54. | |
of a third baby for Kensington Palace was forced | :43:55. | :43:57. | |
to disclose the pregnancy this morning because the Duchess had had | :43:58. | :44:02. | |
to pull out of a public engagement because of acute morning sickness, | :44:03. | :44:05. | |
the condition she experienced She's now resting | :44:06. | :44:07. | |
at Kensington Palace. According to the statement, | :44:08. | :44:14. | |
the Queen - opening the Queensferry Crossing | :44:15. | :44:16. | |
near Edinburgh this morning - and other members of | :44:17. | :44:18. | |
the Royal Family are The baby will be the Queen's sixth | :44:19. | :44:20. | |
great-grandchild and will be fifth It's more than four years | :44:21. | :44:24. | |
now since the birth This is an important week for him - | :44:25. | :44:32. | |
he is due to start at his new school in London, something his mother | :44:33. | :44:39. | |
certainly won't want to miss. The couple's second child, | :44:40. | :44:42. | |
Princess Charlotte, She's fourth in the line | :44:43. | :44:43. | |
of succession and she will retain that position even if the new baby | :44:44. | :44:50. | |
is a boy. On a visit by the Cambridges | :44:51. | :44:54. | |
to Poland a few weeks ago, Catherine joked about having another | :44:55. | :44:57. | |
baby when she was presented It didn't seem | :44:58. | :44:59. | |
significant at the time. Today, Prince Harry said | :45:00. | :45:05. | |
he was delighted at the prospect I haven't seen her for a while, | :45:06. | :45:08. | |
but I think she's OK. The news that there's to be a third | :45:09. | :45:20. | |
child for the Cambridges comes just as William is beginning full-time | :45:21. | :45:23. | |
Royal duties. Soon, the team of four | :45:24. | :45:25. | |
will become five. Kensington Palace hasn't said | :45:26. | :45:30. | |
when the new baby is due, but it must be assumed that it | :45:31. | :45:34. | |
will be around March of next year. The lead story is that the world is | :45:35. | :45:58. | |
continuing to try to fashion a response to North Korea's latest | :45:59. | :46:02. | |
nuclear test, but China and the US have very different ideas of how to | :46:03. | :46:03. | |
go about that. Colombia now - | :46:04. | :46:07. | |
and another significant step A rebel group called | :46:08. | :46:09. | |
the National Liberation Army or ELN We thank all of those | :46:10. | :46:12. | |
who backed our efforts to reach this This is the first time ELN | :46:13. | :46:23. | |
and the government have agreed It starts on October | :46:24. | :46:28. | |
1st and was announced TRANSLATION: It will come into | :46:29. | :46:38. | |
effect on October the 1st, initially That is to say until January | :46:39. | :46:42. | |
the 12th of next year. And it will be renewed, | :46:43. | :46:48. | |
depending on how the negotiations over the other | :46:49. | :46:51. | |
points continue and are fulfilled. That's why, during this period, | :46:52. | :46:55. | |
kidnappings, oil pipeline attacks and other hostilities | :46:56. | :47:02. | |
against the civilian There will be some people watching | :47:03. | :47:27. | |
that will know all about the FARC rebels, but not this group. Can you | :47:28. | :47:33. | |
tell us about them? Yes, ELN was formed at about the same time as the | :47:34. | :47:39. | |
FARC, strongly inspired by the Cuban revolution and they are strongly | :47:40. | :47:43. | |
Marxist. Another element that differentiates them from FARC is | :47:44. | :47:47. | |
that ELN has very close sympathies to the Catholic Church, because | :47:48. | :47:50. | |
Catholic priests were members of the group some time ago. That is the | :47:51. | :47:55. | |
difference between the two groups. What was it hoping to achieve, and | :47:56. | :47:59. | |
can we say it has achieved any of its goals? Well, the ELN has | :48:00. | :48:06. | |
achieved territorial control in some parts of the country. I have a map | :48:07. | :48:10. | |
behind me of the country. This area on the Pacific post has been in | :48:11. | :48:17. | |
control of ELN for quite some time. The area behind my head, the border | :48:18. | :48:21. | |
with Venezuela, has also been in their control. It is not full | :48:22. | :48:24. | |
control, they are constantly fighting with state forces, but they | :48:25. | :48:29. | |
are very strong in the area and they profit, or used to profit, until | :48:30. | :48:34. | |
this truce, from kidnapping, extortion and other means. So means | :48:35. | :48:41. | |
they say they don't use, but the government accuses them of using, | :48:42. | :48:45. | |
also profiting from drug trafficking and other illegal businesses such as | :48:46. | :48:52. | |
illegal gold mining. It is no confidence we have this announcement | :48:53. | :48:56. | |
just before the Pope arrives? That is exactly right. The visit has been | :48:57. | :49:01. | |
crucial. The ELN and the government have been pushing very hard to try | :49:02. | :49:05. | |
to figure out a way of reaching disagreement, this ceasefire, so | :49:06. | :49:10. | |
that they could announce it in the context of the Pope's visit. As I | :49:11. | :49:16. | |
said earlier, one key element is the close relationship and sympathy | :49:17. | :49:20. | |
between the ELN and the Catholic Church. Thank you very much for | :49:21. | :49:25. | |
taking us through that. We will be keeping a close eye on the Pope's | :49:26. | :49:30. | |
visit to Colombia. We have had live reports from Colombia, Texas and | :49:31. | :49:33. | |
also from Bangladesh. Next we are going to the BBC sports centre, to | :49:34. | :49:40. | |
speak to Nick. Lots of World Cup qualifiers going on ahead of Russia | :49:41. | :49:47. | |
next year. Over to you. Their goals flying in quick and fast. Germany | :49:48. | :49:57. | |
have thrashed Norway 6-0, although certainly guaranteeing top spot. | :49:58. | :50:06. | |
Azerbaijan out of it, the -- they showed real class to beat San | :50:07. | :50:18. | |
Marino. Top played bottom as Poland beat Khalistan 3-0. Lewandowski got | :50:19. | :50:26. | |
their third. They lost 4-0 to Denmark just days ago. There is a | :50:27. | :50:29. | |
real battle for second. England top their group by five | :50:30. | :50:45. | |
points after a 2-1 win over Slovakia at Wembley. Eric Dier and Marcus | :50:46. | :50:52. | |
Rashford with the goals. It leaves them within touching distance of | :50:53. | :50:57. | |
next year's World Cup. Slovakia stay in second spot. Scotland and | :50:58. | :51:01. | |
Slovenia also won and are locked on 14 points, each in third and fourth | :51:02. | :51:03. | |
respectively. Rafael Nadal made it through to the | :51:04. | :51:09. | |
US open quarterfinals for the seventh time in his career by | :51:10. | :51:14. | |
defeating his Ukrainian opponent. It was fast, just one hour and 41 | :51:15. | :51:19. | |
minutes from first serve to match point. The Spaniard won 6-2, 6-4, | :51:20. | :51:28. | |
6-1. He hasn't made the US open last eight since capturing the 2013 | :51:29. | :51:35. | |
title. Christina Pliskova and last year's runner-up, she needed just 60 | :51:36. | :51:41. | |
minutes to sweep past Jennifer Brodie. It is her third slam | :51:42. | :51:52. | |
quarterfinal. Star India has won the digital rights for the Indian | :51:53. | :51:55. | |
Premier League, paying $2.5 billion for a five-year deal. Sony was the | :51:56. | :52:03. | |
only other bidder. Facebook tried to pay $600 million for a five-year | :52:04. | :52:07. | |
deal to stream the matches online to India and other surrounding | :52:08. | :52:12. | |
countries, but missed out to Star. 14 companies made bids for different | :52:13. | :52:19. | |
elements, but the consolidated offer won all. The Mumbai Indians won the | :52:20. | :52:26. | |
2017 competition. Dave -- big-money flying around. | :52:27. | :52:30. | |
There is much more on the BBC sport app if you want it. | :52:31. | :52:35. | |
You may well have read about Munroe Bergdorf | :52:36. | :52:37. | |
She was was the first transgender model to appear in a cosmetics | :52:38. | :52:46. | |
But then she wrote a Facebook post where she argued that "all white | :52:47. | :52:50. | |
Once I posted it, it was drenched with alt-right | :52:51. | :53:02. | |
supporters, just people going at each other. | :53:03. | :53:04. | |
In the post I was extremely angry and frustrated. | :53:05. | :53:08. | |
I think we all were, about the Charlottesville attacks. | :53:09. | :53:10. | |
About Heather dying, and just the fact | :53:11. | :53:12. | |
that racism exists and we are not really doing anything to counter it. | :53:13. | :53:20. | |
I don't think people really understand what | :53:21. | :53:21. | |
I'm talking about all white people benefit from white privilege. | :53:22. | :53:27. | |
It stems from a society that was put in place | :53:28. | :53:35. | |
and built to benefit white people above any other race. | :53:36. | :53:40. | |
Race doesn't actually exist, it's a made up thing. | :53:41. | :53:42. | |
But the lighter your skin tone, the more privileges you will | :53:43. | :53:45. | |
For instance, if I'm a light skinned woman, I will have a | :53:46. | :53:50. | |
lot more social privilege and a dark skinned, black woman. | :53:51. | :53:52. | |
I did write two bookends to that original quote, | :53:53. | :54:00. | |
which actually talked about what people can do | :54:01. | :54:02. | |
if they want to help, if they want to help end racism. | :54:03. | :54:04. | |
But obviously it was taken out of context. | :54:05. | :54:07. | |
All people saw was the angry middle bit. | :54:08. | :54:09. | |
I think they have the opportunity to actually talk about | :54:10. | :54:15. | |
why we need diversity and talk about why | :54:16. | :54:19. | |
racism actually exists in the first place. | :54:20. | :54:21. | |
They can't hire somebody and expect them to keep their mouth shut | :54:22. | :54:27. | |
when it comes to inconvenient truths. | :54:28. | :54:33. | |
One bit of copy to show you before we end the programme, the National | :54:34. | :54:57. | |
hurricane Centre in the US says that Hurricane Irma has been upgraded to | :54:58. | :55:02. | |
a category four storm and is heading towards the Caribbean. | :55:03. | :55:08. | |
Hello. Mature logically speaking, the beginning of September is the | :55:09. | :55:13. | |
beginning of autumn. But it did not feel like | :55:14. | :55:14. |
