:00:08. > :00:10.Hello, I'm Karin Giannone, welcome to Outside Source.
:00:11. > :00:16.At least 10 people are dead after Hurricane Irma wreaked
:00:17. > :00:30.The extent of the destruction in Barbuda is unprecedented. I am of
:00:31. > :00:32.the view that Barbuda is barely habitable.
:00:33. > :00:34.Irma is still a category 5 hurricane - and next it's heading
:00:35. > :00:39.And the UK parliament begins debating a bill that will transfer
:00:40. > :01:01.EU laws into British law after Brexit.
:01:02. > :01:03.As Hurricane Irma continues to devastate the Caribbean,
:01:04. > :01:06.its current course takes it on to Florida at the weekend.
:01:07. > :01:08.It is predicted to to weaken slightly, but emergency
:01:09. > :01:16.and evacuation procedures are already in place.
:01:17. > :01:25.Let us talk to our correspondent in Miami. How bad are they expecting
:01:26. > :01:30.things to get there? Today the authorities have really ratcheted up
:01:31. > :01:34.the alarms about the hurricane getting to Miami and South Florida
:01:35. > :01:40.on Sunday and Saturday and possibly through Monday as well. Today there
:01:41. > :01:45.is a hurricane watch for the whole South Florida area and the latest
:01:46. > :01:50.development is that they extended the evacuation zones in the Miami
:01:51. > :01:53.Dade County and now we have a lot more people who need to go out of
:01:54. > :01:59.their houses because it is not safe for them to stay. Florida, no
:02:00. > :02:06.stranger to hurricanes, how are people reacting to this storm? South
:02:07. > :02:14.Florida and the whole state, it is not strange thing during hurricane
:02:15. > :02:21.season. The Erma hurricane, because of the characteristics that it has,
:02:22. > :02:27.it has really scared people, I have seen, since Monday until today, very
:02:28. > :02:33.long lines for gasoline stations and even the police here needed to
:02:34. > :02:39.escort trucks with counselling for people to fill up their tanks. There
:02:40. > :02:42.is no water available at the department stores or supermarkets
:02:43. > :02:48.and people are trying to get away. I've seen a lot of confusion and a
:02:49. > :02:52.couple of days ago about what to do. A lot of people now made the
:02:53. > :02:57.decision about getting out of the state or at least going into the
:02:58. > :03:01.inland zones of the state. How much help can Florida and the state
:03:02. > :03:11.expect to receive from a federal level and what have we been hearing
:03:12. > :03:14.from President Trump about what is coming? President Trump said today
:03:15. > :03:18.that Florida was prepared for Irma, he has maintained contact and being
:03:19. > :03:22.in touch with the governor and he approved the emergency for the
:03:23. > :03:27.state. We have to remember that the state of Georgia also issued an
:03:28. > :03:31.emergency today for the city of Savannah. It is not really an
:03:32. > :03:34.exclusive thing to Florida and I am sure that the authorities on a
:03:35. > :03:39.federal level will be paying attention to this as they did with
:03:40. > :03:41.Harvey in Texas. Thank you very much.
:03:42. > :03:43.British MP's have started discussing a bill described
:03:44. > :03:45.by Prime Minister Teressa May as an "essential step"
:03:46. > :03:50.The bill will convert all current EU legislation into UK law -
:03:51. > :03:52.as European law will no longer apply.
:03:53. > :04:01.Brexit Secretary David Davis opened the debate in parliament.
:04:02. > :04:08.When I introduced the European union notification with drawl bill
:04:09. > :04:12.earlier, I said it was just the beginning, the beginning of a
:04:13. > :04:17.process to ensure that the decision made in June last year is honoured
:04:18. > :04:23.and today we begin the next step in their historic process of honouring
:04:24. > :04:26.that decision. Put simply, this bill is an essential step, whilst it does
:04:27. > :04:30.not take us out of the European Union, that is a matter for the
:04:31. > :04:35.Article 50 process, it ensures that on the day that we lead, businesses
:04:36. > :04:41.know where they stand, workers' rights are upheld and consumers
:04:42. > :04:46.remain protected. This bill is vital to ensuring that as we leave, we do
:04:47. > :04:51.so in an orderly manner. Let us talk to Ian Watson, he described it as
:04:52. > :04:57.vital but how much trouble might this bill run into? Quite a lot. But
:04:58. > :05:02.not immediately. It was the initial debate today and the opposition made
:05:03. > :05:07.their position clear saying it was effectively a power grab by
:05:08. > :05:11.ministers because although it cuts and pastes existing legislation into
:05:12. > :05:18.British law, it would give ministers sweeping powers to change those laws
:05:19. > :05:21.for two years after Brexit. The Labour opposition has been
:05:22. > :05:24.criticising that will oppose the bill and try and vote against her
:05:25. > :05:28.but I do not think it will have the numbers and Parliament to defeat it,
:05:29. > :05:30.that vote will have the numbers and Parliament to defeat it, that vote
:05:31. > :05:34.will, Monday. In the vote will not come until midnight on Monday, there
:05:35. > :05:39.will be a heated debate and because of the way that Parliament works,
:05:40. > :05:44.that is one stage in this process. Then the bill will go into further
:05:45. > :05:47.stages of scrutiny, eight days perhaps of discussions and at that
:05:48. > :05:53.point unless the government gives ground on those sweeping powers, it
:05:54. > :05:58.is possible that some Conservative members of Parliament might vote
:05:59. > :06:03.against some aspects of the spell. I think they will get the bill through
:06:04. > :06:06.but it will not be unamended. The opposition will have a chance to
:06:07. > :06:14.Harry the government and make their case. This is just one piece of the
:06:15. > :06:18.Brexit jigsaw. There has to be separate legislation with a
:06:19. > :06:21.government intends to change European law on immigration, customs
:06:22. > :06:27.and trade, there will be a whole range of separate bills between now
:06:28. > :06:33.and 2019 with the government might struggle because it has such a
:06:34. > :06:40.narrow majority. If it does start to hit hurdles, how much concern might
:06:41. > :06:46.we see in Brussels? We did not hear positive noises from there today.
:06:47. > :06:53.Not exactly. A couple of things happened, first of all the chief
:06:54. > :06:57.negotiator said he was disappointed in the attitude towards settling the
:06:58. > :07:03.bills. He says it is not a divorce bill, it is agreeing to pay up or
:07:04. > :07:10.was already committed. Minutes were publish which criticised the chief
:07:11. > :07:13.Brexit negotiator, David Davis, apparently the President of the
:07:14. > :07:18.European Commission questioned his stability. The Prime Minister said
:07:19. > :07:22.he is doing a very good job, he had to make that debate in Parliament,
:07:23. > :07:25.but from the point of view of the government, they want to see an
:07:26. > :07:28.orderly exit but they are having difficulty moving the European Union
:07:29. > :07:32.on to the next stage of the bushy Asian is. They will have some
:07:33. > :07:35.difficulties even if they get the legislation through, the time will
:07:36. > :07:40.be spent trying to make sugar people on their own side are happy as they
:07:41. > :07:45.go forward and then they have an additional problem, the substance of
:07:46. > :07:47.the negotiations and ultimately, there will be a vote on the outcome
:07:48. > :07:50.of those in Parliament. Thank you very much.
:07:51. > :07:53.Let's head back to Germany now, because the country's general
:07:54. > :07:55.election is just under three weeks away.
:07:56. > :08:12.Hi. As I was alluding to earlier, immigration is one of the big issues
:08:13. > :08:17.in this election campaign. There is one reason above all others that
:08:18. > :08:21.that is the case. Going back to 2015, the peak of the migrant crisis
:08:22. > :08:24.in Europe, you will remember hundreds of thousands of people were
:08:25. > :08:29.coming into the West of Europe and Angela Merkel decided to introduce
:08:30. > :08:35.an open door policy and hundreds of thousands of asylum seekers came
:08:36. > :08:41.into Germany. It became a dominant political issue here for Angela
:08:42. > :08:47.Merkel and also for her critics. Inevitably in the big leaders debate
:08:48. > :08:52.on Sunday night, Angela Merkel against Martin Schulz, Angela Merkel
:08:53. > :08:56.was asked about this issue. TRANSLATION: What could I have done?
:08:57. > :09:02.I am familiar with this scenario is being discussed. Using water cannons
:09:03. > :09:07.against thousands of people, is that the way you think that things can be
:09:08. > :09:13.solved? I don't think so. We have a 3000 kilometres border and we had to
:09:14. > :09:19.address the causes of migration. And a reminder that one of the reasons
:09:20. > :09:22.why Martin Schulz, the leader of the social Democrats struggled to land a
:09:23. > :09:27.punch on Angela Merkel during that debate was that it is because he has
:09:28. > :09:33.a similar position to her on that issue of immigration. Something,
:09:34. > :09:37.senior Islamic figures said was plain into the hands of the right
:09:38. > :09:44.wing AFD who criticise Angela Merkel's policy on this. Look at
:09:45. > :09:48.this story from the view of one man who has experienced it. Callard came
:09:49. > :10:00.to Germany from Afghanistan ending up in a town not to four -- not too
:10:01. > :10:03.far from Cologne. This is his story. I can stay in my new home. I found a
:10:04. > :10:21.job here. Since last year, a lot of things
:10:22. > :10:28.change. We do not know anything and we cannot speak with anyone. All the
:10:29. > :10:32.people are looking at us and I do not feel comfortable. I will try to
:10:33. > :10:40.be quiet and do not say anything, because we are scared, we do not
:10:41. > :10:46.know about the rules. They don't have any stress when I go on the
:10:47. > :11:00.bus. I think it is because, I can speak German now. My application as
:11:01. > :11:12.a refugee was rejected by the federal office for refugees and that
:11:13. > :11:18.was a very big shock for me. I tried to be on time, in my work, ie once
:11:19. > :11:37.them to be satisfied. Now I am happy and everything is
:11:38. > :11:47.good. I get along with the new situation. My son goes to the
:11:48. > :11:49.kindergarten, we have a friend who comes to my home and teaches my wife
:11:50. > :12:05.German. When we came to Cologne 18 months
:12:06. > :12:09.ago to look at this issue, we knew that immigration would matter in the
:12:10. > :12:12.political discourse of Germany, particularly running up to the
:12:13. > :12:17.selection, we just did not understand how. 18 months and we are
:12:18. > :12:23.getting a clearer picture. I have been speaking to a political
:12:24. > :12:26.scientist here in Cologne for his analysis of how that decision by
:12:27. > :12:34.Angela Merkel in 2015 is impacting on what is happening now. Dialogue
:12:35. > :12:42.after 2015 became very rough, what we can see is that since then, we
:12:43. > :12:50.have a rise of the right -- the populist party and she changed
:12:51. > :12:55.dialogue in Germany. She is totally anti-immigration, she is totally
:12:56. > :13:03.against the idea of a liberal democracy and tried to come into the
:13:04. > :13:09.German Parliament and will get around about 10% at this moment.
:13:10. > :13:11.When I was here 18 months ago, 10% would have been disappointing for
:13:12. > :13:15.quite a few people in the AFD because there was an expectation
:13:16. > :13:20.make a breakthrough, so perhaps we should be telling the story that
:13:21. > :13:25.there has not been a rise like we expected. You're absolutely right.
:13:26. > :13:32.In the high times they got around 15% in the opinion polls but then it
:13:33. > :13:37.went down, out of the reason that the number of refugees is going down
:13:38. > :13:41.very strongly in the last few months and the reason why that has
:13:42. > :13:48.happened, Angela Merkel made a deal with the turkey and other countries.
:13:49. > :13:53.The AFD would also say if you look at the main parties, Angela Merkel's
:13:54. > :13:57.party and the social Democrats, they are basically the same. They have
:13:58. > :14:04.similar policies on the big issues of the day. You can see why that
:14:05. > :14:12.argument almost works. It is not only the AFD who are saying that, it
:14:13. > :14:18.is sometimes the left party, out of the reason that the Christian
:14:19. > :14:22.Democrats came first in the last few years and even the social Democrats
:14:23. > :14:26.went towards the centre, they are coming closer to each other
:14:27. > :14:30.politically and there are some differences, but Bill main
:14:31. > :14:35.differences. Perhaps it all really comes down to personality and on
:14:36. > :14:38.personality, German seemed to like Angela Merkel. They still like
:14:39. > :14:43.Angela Merkel and I think the reason why they like is that she is very
:14:44. > :14:50.calm in her politics, that she is dealing very calmly with problems
:14:51. > :14:54.and that she has the possibility to bring different factions together.
:14:55. > :15:05.She can govern with the Liberals, the Greens and the social Democrats.
:15:06. > :15:07.We have covered the Dutch elections where we saw the freedom parties
:15:08. > :15:14.saying that the mainstream parties at the same. It quite different way,
:15:15. > :15:19.Donald Trump won the White House because he said I am not a
:15:20. > :15:22.politician. The Brexit vote was related to that sentiment as well
:15:23. > :15:27.and we have this in a different form here in Germany with the AFD in
:15:28. > :15:33.particular on their right wing but also the far left party saying that
:15:34. > :15:39.the main parties all agree on the main issues. On September the 24th,
:15:40. > :15:43.we will find out how many Germans have decided to go with the more
:15:44. > :15:49.extreme parties. Stay with us on Outside
:15:50. > :15:52.Source - still to come. And a change in the transfer window
:15:53. > :15:55.for clubs in the Premier League. Tulsen Tollett will
:15:56. > :16:00.be here to explain. How likely we are to be
:16:01. > :16:02.the victims of crime? The BBC has launched a new online
:16:03. > :16:05.tool called the crime calculator which can tell you how likely
:16:06. > :16:09.you are to be a victim of crime. It's been launched in
:16:10. > :16:11.conjunction with the Office for National Statistics,
:16:12. > :16:12.whose figures suggest that there is a gap between how
:16:13. > :16:15.we perceive the risk of crime, Our Home Affairs Correspondent
:16:16. > :16:18.Dominic Casciani reports. We watch it on TV, it's
:16:19. > :16:22.in the papers, and we talk Surveys show many of us fear that
:16:23. > :16:26.crime is growing nationwide. The BBC's crime calculator gives
:16:27. > :16:28.you a more accurate idea So here in Reading, were people's
:16:29. > :16:31.perceptions on target? Friends Omar and Victor
:16:32. > :16:34.are soon off to university, and they have both been
:16:35. > :16:39.victims of crime. My friend here, Victor,
:16:40. > :16:41.he had his bike stolen from this But you personally, you never had
:16:42. > :16:48.anything specific like a bike stolen I got my mobile nicked
:16:49. > :16:52.here as well, actually. So how does Omar compare
:16:53. > :16:54.to the national average? A higher risk of being
:16:55. > :16:56.a victim of robbery, I didn't expect that, actually,
:16:57. > :17:03.for that to come out if I'm Statistics show that young men
:17:04. > :17:12.are more at risk of crime. But as you get older,
:17:13. > :17:17.you actually become safer. Yeah, that is quite surprising,
:17:18. > :17:22.because you might expect older people to be more vulnerable
:17:23. > :17:25.to certain types of crime. The truth is, that as we get older,
:17:26. > :17:29.we live gentler and safer lives. We learn how to protect
:17:30. > :17:34.ourselves from crime. June, from the bowls club,
:17:35. > :17:37.has been a victim of online fraud. So how likely is she to be a victim
:17:38. > :17:40.of face-to-face crime? The calculator shows that people
:17:41. > :17:42.like her have a low risk. It's absolutely brilliant,
:17:43. > :17:45.I can rest in my bed Most of us get on with our daily
:17:46. > :17:57.lives without being too concerned about crime in our neighbourhoods,
:17:58. > :17:59.but official figures show that there is a real perception
:18:00. > :18:03.gap between the sexes. Men are the most likely victims,
:18:04. > :18:06.yet they worry the least. Women worry more, even though
:18:07. > :18:09.they are often safer Official surveys show that our fear
:18:10. > :18:14.of crime is influenced by the media, and what we see in the wider
:18:15. > :18:17.world around us. We cannot know for sure whether it
:18:18. > :18:20.will happen to us because many victims and offences simply are not
:18:21. > :18:23.included in the figures. But most experts still say that we
:18:24. > :18:26.are safer than we used to be. This is Outside Source live
:18:27. > :18:41.from the BBC newsroom. Hurricane Irma has left
:18:42. > :18:46.a trail of destruction across the Caribbean -
:18:47. > :18:48.and it's still going strong as it heads towards Turks and Caicos,
:18:49. > :18:55.the Bahamas and the US mainland. English Premier League clubs have
:18:56. > :18:58.voted to change the closing date It comes off the back of what has
:18:59. > :19:14.been a record breaking transfer Let us talk to our correspondent
:19:15. > :19:21.adds the BBC Sport Centre. What is the reason for the change? The clubs
:19:22. > :19:28.have voted in favour of amending the transfer window. It was normally the
:19:29. > :19:33.31st of August and many of the European leagues are around the same
:19:34. > :19:39.time, give or take an hour or two. The Premier League have decided, 14
:19:40. > :19:44.clubs from next season, have decided to close the window on the Thursday
:19:45. > :19:51.before the start of the new Premier League campaign. The vote was not
:19:52. > :19:56.unanimous. Manchester United and Manchester City, two of the clubs
:19:57. > :19:59.who were opposed to it, but Richard Scudamore believes it is something
:20:00. > :20:03.that the clubs want. Enough of the clubs felt that they wanted to get
:20:04. > :20:07.to the first day of the season knowing who was then their squad,
:20:08. > :20:12.knowing who they have bought without the uncertainty that follows. The
:20:13. > :20:15.idea that match one they can be playing against a player and then
:20:16. > :20:20.the second match they could be playing against the same player,
:20:21. > :20:27.following a transfer. Fundamentally, our clubs thought it was wrong and
:20:28. > :20:31.for a whole host of reasons, I think that is really the nub of it.
:20:32. > :20:37.Something this does do is that puts the Premier League clubs at a
:20:38. > :20:42.disadvantage other clubs are still able to buy players for longer. The
:20:43. > :20:47.Premier League clubs can still sell during the period but they cannot
:20:48. > :20:53.buy. It will influence the other leagues especially in Spain and
:20:54. > :20:58.France. Venus Williams last the final at the Australian open the
:20:59. > :21:05.Shia and she takes on Sloane Stevens in the coming hours. She is playing
:21:06. > :21:14.in her first Grand Slam following an absence due to a foot injury.
:21:15. > :21:19.Madison Keys is playing her good friend Coco Vandeweghe. Thank you
:21:20. > :21:21.very much for bringing us up-to-date.
:21:22. > :21:24.Israeli jets have attacked a site in the west of Syria -
:21:25. > :21:29.MAP This is where it says rockets struck - Masyaf -
:21:30. > :21:31.it's also where Western powers suspect chemical weapons
:21:32. > :21:40.That could be significant - because yesterday,
:21:41. > :21:42.UN human rights investigators said they had concluded that
:21:43. > :21:45.a Syrian Air Force jet was responsible for a chemical
:21:46. > :21:47.attack in this town - Khan Sheikhoun - in April,
:21:48. > :21:50.The Syrian government says it destroyed its entire
:21:51. > :21:54.Israel hasn't commented - but we do know they've carried out
:21:55. > :21:58.Earlier I spoke to Rasha Qandeel, who presents Newsnight
:21:59. > :22:17.Actually, the timing, as many analysts might think, today is not a
:22:18. > :22:22.coincidence. This is not the first time an escalation takes place on
:22:23. > :22:29.the borders between Israel, Syria and Lebanon and it might be like a
:22:30. > :22:34.proxy strike in favour of the United States, as today as well, the UN
:22:35. > :22:38.reports about the Khan Sheikhoun chemical attack which took place
:22:39. > :22:44.last April. Today it is becoming public and it is published for the
:22:45. > :22:47.public and took place on Twitter. It is a massive report, that everyone
:22:48. > :22:57.has been waiting for, to be published for the public. Israel has
:22:58. > :23:01.crossed the borders to strike and missile bound for the Hezbollah
:23:02. > :23:10.militant group and that means a lot. To cross the towards Syria and
:23:11. > :23:15.strike for something that we call a cosmetic strike, this might mean
:23:16. > :23:20.that is really striking on the half of the United States or it means
:23:21. > :23:25.that it is striking to alert the international community that is
:23:26. > :23:30.really is angry about something and they will probably move to take
:23:31. > :23:35.action. It is sending out a strong message. As far as Syria was
