hello, i'm karin giannone, this is outside source. turkey's currency plummets, as a trade war with washington turns into a diplomatic barrage, president ergodan saying his country is under siege. translation: on the one hand, you are a strategic partner. on the other, you shoot yourself in the foot. you're a partner in nato. and on the other hand, you stab your ally in the back. is this acceptable? fierce fighting leaves more than 200 dead in afghanistan with the taliban challenging for control of a major city. china says reports it's detaining one million muslim uighurs xinjiang are "completely untrue". and delays at heathrow‘s passport control left passengers queuing for up to two and a half hours last month — airline bosses say it's unacceptable. the turkish lira hit another record low

against the dollar today — you can see here how it has plunged as the row with the united states deepens. president recep tayyip erdogan hit out at the us earlier, accusing it of stabbing turkey in the back. translation: on the one hand, you are a strategic partner. on the other, you shoot yourself in the foot. you're a strategic partner with us in afghanistan and syria. you're a partner in nato. and on the other hand, you stab your ally in the back. is this acceptable? let's give you some background — things really started to snowball after this tweet from donald trump on friday announcing a doubling of tariffs on steel and aluminium bought from turkey, saying "our relations with turkey are not good at this time!" the president is angry because turkey's refusing

to release this man, american pastor andrew brunson. he's been detained for nearly two years, accused of links to the outlawed kurdistan workers‘ party and the gulenist movement — which the turkish president says was behind a failed coup two years ago. here's more from president erdogan on the crisis. translation: turkey is under siege in the economy as in other areas. what are they saying about our plan band plan what are they saying about our plan b and plan c? did you read my mind, are these people fortune tellers? be sure these traitors will be punished. the turkish economy is solid, strong and will continue to be intact. despite the drama, currency exchange offices have been operating as normal in turkey today. people are concerned though. now we are saving money. we pay

attention to our accounts, we avoid going out too much to limit our expenses. at the moment, ifi compare with last year, i've lost up to 25% of my purchasing power. i have to admit i don't know what i'm going to do. german chancellor angela merkel was asked about the crisis. the german perspective is that no one has an interest in turkey's economic destabilisation but everything must be done to make sure there is an independent central bank that can work. i spoke to cagil kasapoglu from the bbc‘s turkish service. they said they would provide enough liquidity put this isn't quite what investors were expecting because mostly the investors‘ expectation is to raise the interest rate from the central bank but also their concerns

over the independence of the central banks because president burdick and has called high interest rate as the evil of all mothers and then we don‘t see the central bank taking any action. what mr erdogan says is his calling turks to convert their money into lira under the mattresses but it is not a solution. so president erdogan does not want interest rates to rise but are turks adhering to the advice to change theirforeign currency adhering to the advice to change their foreign currency back into turkish lira or are they largely ignoring it? in a way this call has resonated with supporters. also we seek on social media there is cause from shop owners saying they would give away free goods or discounts to those who come with receipts for

their money converted into liras. the majority of turkish people worry they might have to shut down their businesses. over all their purchasing power has been reduced by 20% and especially those relying on important goods, they have to raise the prices so again this reduces their purchasing power so it will be difficult for an average turkish citizen. how bad have things been going before this latest spat? actually the stand—off with the us is aggravating the issues because first of all the overheating economy was the major source, especially the construction boom. the turkish companies who wanted to benefit from this have road dollars from foreign currencies and now they are struggling to repay it, again in dollars. overall the corporate debt

is close to $250 billion and now by october some of these will have to be repaid but now they are struggling as well to cope with this crisis. you mentioned people were feeling worried, how much concerned is this causing widely and how much the people believing president erdogan‘s ability to get them out of it? we see turkish society has been polarised, those standing with mr erdogan believe he will overcome this challenge because he manages to unite his people with anti—american sentiment so they believe there is a global war waged against turkey. on the other hand the other 50% of turkish society are worried, they wa nt to ta ke turkish society are worried, they want to take their money out of the bank and put it in a safety case. we see what is important here, how the global markets will also react

because this is not only turkey‘s problem any more. a taliban assault on the afghan city of ghazni is now in its fourth day. let me show you these pictures from inside the city. these were posted on twitter over the weekend showing taliban fighters inside ghazni. the taliban overwhelmed ghazni s defenses and allowed insurgents to capture several parts of it in a major show of force. video like this seemed to contradict claims by nato that the afghan government has regained control. but in the past few hours, the bbc has spoken to afghanistan‘s interior minister. here‘s what he had to say. the government is fully in control of ghazni and reinforcements have arrived. the top security leaders will be in the city. the taliban have started fleeing from the outer skirts of ghazni so the situation is fully under control. more than 100 people have been killed. casualties are expected to rise, as bodies continue to lie unclaimed in the street.

the un said in a statment: "medication at the main hospital is reportedly becoming scarce and people are unable to safely bring casualties for treatment." and this is a bbc article which says food supplies in the city are running low. ghazni is strategically important. it lies on a key highway between kabul and kandahar. control of it would have effectively allowed the taliban to cut off southern afghanistan from the capital. in recent months, the taliban have seized several districts across afghanistan and staged near—daily attacks on security forces. here‘s the british ambassador to afghanistan on what could be behind this surge in violence. i think ithinka i think a lot of people do talk about both sides potentially now being engaged in the strategy of light and talk at the same time. it's light and talk at the same time. it‘s not unusual in conflicts if ceasefi res it‘s not unusual in conflicts if ceasefires are on the horizon or peace talks are even under way that you even see an increase in violence in the short term because everybody

likes to negotiate from a position of strength so it is possible that thatis of strength so it is possible that that is the tactic. i spoke to zia shahreyar from bbc persian and asked him what we know about the latest situation in ghazni. the latest reports show that the afg ha n forces have ta ken the latest reports show that the afghan forces have taken big parts of the city, fighting is still going on, sporadic fighting in different parts. ijust on, sporadic fighting in different parts. i just talked on, sporadic fighting in different parts. ijust talked to our reporter who is now in kabul and from reports he‘s got the taliban are still in parts of the city, resisting the heavy bond —— bombardment. so fighting is still going on and the city is not clearly under the control of anybody. that is interesting because we have the interior minister on this channel a few hours ago saying everything was

fine, that the government is in control of ghazni. i would say that a lot of government officials have lost their credibility. in the last for —— four days, the afghan man spokesman were saying everything is fine, the city is under the control of our troops but it is clearly not and the numbers they were giving with regards to the casualties were not reliable. they only today confirmed that 110 soldiers have been killed and around 30 civilians in the last four days but reports we are getting show the figures are much higher. given what you have been able to find out, what does it say about the strength of the taliban that they have been in a

position to do this? the taliban has been gaining strength in the last few months. on a daily basis thinking that these things are designs of the return of the taliban regime. does this gear up the taliban towards any kind of negotiating position with the government in the future? are they thinking about that? the most optimistic analysis of the situation is that maybe the taliban are trying to show that they are negotiating or will be negotiating from a position of strength because we know that behind the scenes negotiations have been going on between the americans and the taliban and another round is happening next week. they are talking about another ceasefire and one ceasefire happened around one month ago, the other ceasefire is probably happening in two weeks. some say this is the taliban‘s

manoeuvre to show they are able to come to the negotiating table with a position of strength if they ever come. stay with us on outside source — still to come... china makes a rare public defence of its policy of detaining internal opponents in what it calls "rehabilitation" centres — human rights groups say they‘re internment camps. a doctor has won the right to return to practice after being struck off the medical register, because of the death of a child in her care. doctor hadiza bawa—garba was in charge of treating six—year—old jack adcock, who died after developing sepsis in 2011. six—year—old jack adcock, who died after developing sepsis in 2011. the court of appeal said an earlier decision to suspend her for a year should stand. jack adcock‘s mother nicola has been giving her reaction to the court of appeal ruling. ijust cannot i just cannot understand ijust cannot understand how i just cannot understand how someone can be charged with gross negligence, manslaughter, struck off

the register by the general medical council and then be reinstated. she now been in front of 90 hi court judges —— nine high courtjudges. i just think it makes a mockery of the justice system but i also think it sets a precedent for the doctors to be able to do whatever they want. you might as well give them a green ca rd you might as well give them a green card and say go on. this is outside source live from the bbc newsroom. our top story: turkey‘s currency crisis has deepened, with president ergodan accusing the united states of stabbing his country in the back, after washington hit ankara with tariffs on steel. the leaders of north and south korea

will meet... here is the south korean unification minister. as agreed, we will exchange of use in autumn with the north korean side. here is the head of the north korean delegation‘s take on that meeting. as the summit of leaders of north and south korea is being pursued, i believe we can give concrete answers to the problem is that the people hope and wish for. as yet no specific date has been set for the summit. kimjong—un and moonjae—in first met in april, a remarkable thaw in relations after years of rising tension. however questions have recently been asked of north korea‘s commitment to full denuclearisation, as agreed during kim jong—un‘s meeting with president trump injune. injuly, us officials released this satellite image, which purportedly shows activity still going on at a site used

to produce ballistic missiles. the bbc‘s laura bicker has been following the latest developments. president moon will become the first south korean president to travel to pyongyang in over a decade. this will be the third meeting between them this year. the first one in april, then the surprise one in may lead to that historic summit between kim jong—un lead to that historic summit between kimjong—un an lead to that historic summit between kim jong—un an donald trump lead to that historic summit between kimjong—un an donald trump injune. since then the attempts to persuade north korea to disarm have stalled a little. the united states wants north korea to give up most of its weapons and then their sanctions will be relieved. north korea once a step—by—step process. they are looking to give up a little and get something in return from the us so there has been some stalling and the tone has changed coming from north korea but this is a chance,

certainly seen as a chance here in seoul, to get things moving again. there‘s one thing they both want and thatis there‘s one thing they both want and that is a peace treaty. the united states said that is not possible until north korea disarms so the hope is president moon will go to john yang and go to find a way to be an intermediary between the two. as for the date we have heard from the north koreans who have been rather mischievous saying a date has been chosen but they are not ready to give it away yet because they like to keep reporters guessing. artificial intelligence can diagnose eye disease as accurately as some of the world‘s leading experts. research by moorfields eye hospital in london and the google company deepmind, found that a machine could learn how to read complex eye scans and detect more than 50 types of disease. our medical correspondent fergus walsh reports. on the brink of going blind, elaine‘s sight was saved by doctors

at moorfields hospital. this scan showed she needed urgent treatment. there‘s a growth of abnormal blood vessels under the retina... now, artificial intelligence — machines — have learned how to interpret these complex images. a computer analysed 1,000 patient scans using a set of rules, an algorithm, and was able to detect over 50 eye conditions and did not miss a single urgent case. this is a jaw—dropping result and i think most eye specialists will gasp, because we have shown that this algorithm is as good as some of the world‘s leading experts in interpreting these scans. using artificial intelligence to diagnose eye disease could be a game changer. that‘s because at present, doctors are swamped by the number of scans they have to read and some patients go blind before they get treated.

i can see the leaves, the detail isn't sharp... 200 people a day in the uk, like elaine, develop the blinding form of age—related macular degeneration. she only has vision in her right eye and welcomes the advent of artificial intelligence in health care. it's extraordinary. it's absolutely brilliant. people will be empowered, because their sight will be saved through this artificial intelligence, this algorithm, and they won't be disabled by not having sight at all. google‘s london headquarters is home to its artificial intelligence company deepmind. they developed the algorithm to read eye scans and are researching ai‘s use in other health conditions. we're looking at eye disease but we're also looking at how you would plan radiotherapy treatment, because it can take

a specialist up to eight hours to plan a treatment currently for complex cancers, and also whether we can use artificial intelligence to identify breast cancers more effectively and potentially earlier through mammography screening. artificial intelligence is set to have a profound impact in health care, speeding up diagnosis and freeing up clinicians to spend more time with patients. but not everyone will be happy with a tech giant like google having access to their health data. so the people at deepmind will need to ensure that patient confidentiality and data protection are embedded in everything they do. the eye research results, published in the journal nature medicine, are so promising that artificial intelligence looks likely to play a key role in the nhs within just a few years. fergus walsh, bbc news. elon musk certainly set the cat amongst the pigeons when he announced he was considering

taking his electric car company, tesla, private. he‘s faced stiff questions over where he‘d get the money to buy shares from investors. and some shareholders have launched legal action against him, claiming he misled the market. today he put out this blog, giving more details of his plans. kim gittlesonjoins us from new york. what has mr musk been saying about his plans? he justified his tweet in which he said funding secured by saying he wa nted said funding secured by saying he wanted to make sure all investors in tesla have the same information, then he said the reason he felt he had cured the funding which would say tesla went public in evaluation of the company north of $70 billion is that he had had discussions with saudi arabia‘s sovereign wealth fund and those discussions the fund said

it would invest in tesla and some of the prime investors also said they we re the prime investors also said they were wondering why elon musk had not taken them up on their offer to take the company private. that‘s why elon musk said he thought he had the funding secured to take tesla private. how much of a shock did it cause when he made the statement last week? i mean tesla shares were suspended for over an hour as a result of that announcement which doesn‘t happen equally on wall street suggesting there was a bit of activity in trading. many were left scratching their heads at the share price which is a significant premium over what tesla currently trades at. for many it seemed another erratic outburst from elon musk who struggled with cash flow and hitting

targets and as a result many investors were concerned this was another thing that didn‘t focus on the core issue tesla faces which is it cannot manufacture enough cars to meet demand and that has led to concern from investors the company might not be profitable and might face a cash crunch later this year. just what other story... —— one other story — shares in german pharmaceutical group bayer have dropped sharply following a us verdict linking one of its products — the weedkiller round—up — to cancer. we did know that the case had been sped up because the main plated in the case, dwaynejohnson, is suffering from terminal cancer and says it was exacerbated by his use of the weedkiller round—up is a school groundskeeper in california and was awarded $299 million in

damages and that has led to people to wonder whether other cases will be allowed to proceed and what financial liability that could mean for the company. bayer bought the company last year for $62 million and many investors are concerned that they didn‘t ask for any sort of premium as a result of these lawsuits so it could this can only hurt the company‘s bottom line going forward. thank you. kinpo is one of the biggest electronics companies in taiwan. the business has developed some ground—breaking products, including cutting edge 3d printers and a mirror that doubles as a computer screen. the boss of the company has been giving us his top tips for success. you must have imagination to think about the people and what their life looks like in ten years and with patients develop the product. you need to find a new business and

a new product in order to continue to grow the business during very difficult times. i think you must have very good imagination to think about what people‘s life will look like in ten years. you need a mega— investment and changing now, not ten yea rs investment and changing now, not ten years later. we don‘t know whether are the innovations can pay back the investment. so this takes a lot of

courage and this is the most difficult part i think. let's what's going on with the turkish lira. it hit another record low against the dollar today. you can see here how it has plunged as the row with the united states deepens. president recep tayyip erdogan hit out at the us earlier, accusing it of stabbing turkey in the back. that‘s after donald trump announced a doubling of tariffs on steel and aluminium bought from turkey, saying relations with turkey are not good at this time. back in a few minutes with more from outside source. thanks forjoining me. time to have

a look at the whether further afield and we will start with europe and find out whether summer is still with ink because here in the uk it has cooled off considerably. the a nswer has cooled off considerably. the answer is yes, it still feels very much like the middle of summer across many parts of europe. this is the forecast for tuesday, lots of hot sunshine across spain, it is still very warm in france and right across the continent with under storms developing as well. the temperatures are not as high as they have been but typically in the mid to high 20s. wednesday‘s weather forecast has lots of sunshine across europe but here in the uk the weather fronts are starting to march in off the atlantic so not quite so settled in the uk compared to elsewhere across europe where we have that high pressure. or even across other parts of europe we will see a cold front sweeping through and things will be turning colder.

how about in north america? you might be heading to new york city, here outbreaks of rain to come in the next couple of days and it has been unsettled in the north—west of the us. this is india and the monsoon here producing still some very heavy rains this time of the year. we have heard of flooding and the rain is likely to continue on wednesday, but particularly across the north—east of india is where we will see the big downpours, hundreds of millimetres of rain to come through this week so nasty downpours still to come and the monsoon is still to come and the monsoon is still very much a story across the asian subcontinent. let‘s go to south—east asia and asia—pacific, these are pictures from the philippines recently where we have seen a lot of rainfall. manila was ha rd seen a lot of rainfall. manila was hard hit and it is an annual occurrence the rain storms we seek across this part of the world but it has been particularly nasty in the philippines. these clouds you can

see, this is the south—westerly monsoon. that is a tropical cyclone, onejust went monsoon. that is a tropical cyclone, one just went south west of shanghai and another is heading towards southern parts of japan so there is a weak tropical storm, possibly typhoon, heading to the southernmost islands of japan bringing typhoon, heading to the southernmost islands ofjapan bringing heavy rainfall here as well. so this time of the year across this part of asia—pacific it is very busy as far as the weather goes. often cyclones form and we still have the south—westerly monsoon so not a great time if you are expecting a lot of sunshine for example. across australia much better in sydney, 25 degrees with sunshine, and in new zealand we will see temperatures in the mid—teens. a quick look at the weather for the week ahead. hello, i‘m karin giannone, this is outside source. turkey‘s currency plummets, as a trade war with washington turns into a diplomatic barrage, president ergodan saying his country is under siege. us are strategic partner with us in

somalia and on the other hand you stop your ally in the back. is this acceptable ? china says reports it‘s detaining a million muslim uighurs in xinjiang are "completely untrue". argentina‘s former president has appeared ina argentina‘s former president has appeared in a corruption enquiry denying she handed out cash bribes worth more than $100 million. and the endgame in syria as president assad‘s forces prepare to move on some of the last rebels holding out against the government. let‘s show you the wall street

journal‘s china politics reporter‘s tweets. xinjiang is a province in the west of china — around 45% of its population is made up of a muslim ethnic minority called the uighurs. it‘s a region that‘s seen intermittent violence, followed by crackdowns for years — the chinese state says the violence is caused by islamist militants and separatists. for months now, reports like this one — from ap — have been circulating, saying that around a million people from muslim minorities are being detained in xinjiang. today at the un review the chinese delegation addressed that. there are no such things as these centres. it must be pointed out that xinjiang isa

centres. it must be pointed out that xinjiang is a victim of terrorism. in an effort to secure the life and property of all ethnic groups in the region, as an autonomous region has undertaken a special campaign to crack down on violent, terrorist activity. the un panel seemed less than convinced at times during the proceedings. you said it was false, then how many are other? please tell me. and what we re are other? please tell me. and what were the laws on which they were detained, the specific provisions? you say that these laws require that investigations must be carried out. cani investigations must be carried out. can i see or can we see some of those investigation reports? this is our own stephen mcdonnell. and this is chris buckley,

new york times. emily rauhala is the washington post‘s beijing correspondent. she‘s discovered evidence that these camps exist from another angle. what they are alleging is that china is keeping up to1 million or more ethnic uighurs and other muslim minorities in camps for forced indoctrination, praising the communist party and disavowing their religion. xinjiang is a very vast area and includes ethnic uighurs but reporting on the ground in xinjiang just now is not particularly safe,

so we decided to report from kazakhstan, and i was able to interview more than a dozen people with family members believed to be detained and people saying they survived these so—called political re—education camps. the global times, a newspaper with close links to the chinese government, had this to say. i spoke to dr rachel harris, who is an expert on cultural policy in xinjiang. it may not sound very positive, but actually, to hear this topic being actually, to hear this topic being actually discussed in front of the international audience extremely pleasing. we have been watching now four months this kind of shocking escalation of the security measures

in xinjiang and up until very recently, just the last few days, there has been no acknowledgement at all from the chinese government that these re—education camps exist. we do actually have very credible, multiple sources of information which do suggest that over 1 multiple sources of information which do suggest that over1 million people are interned in these camps. just tell us what you think exactly is going on here? we talked about the difference between re—education and indoctrination. what do you think the chinese policy is in xinjiang? this started really is something which was presented as targeting religious extremism and it escalated extremely quickly, so it became very clear to us very soon that when the authorities in

xinjiang talked about religious extremism, really what they were talking about was very broadly any kind of religious practice, so we saw the targeting of people who were engaged in daily prayers, people going on hajj, people fasting or wearing the veil, and then gradually be camps began to roll out and we saw that many more people were being caught up in this net, so the kind of people we know now being detained, include pop stars and footballers, a lot of academics and artists and writers have been detained, amongst them some of my own colleagues, and it seems to me not that they were religious in any way at all but simply that they were engaged in studying or promoting uighurs national culture, so it is important that this is common front

of the committee of racial equality today, because this is clearly something that is targeting ethnic identity. and he will know all too well what the chinese say about what they are doing, they say they are combating islamist extremism as well as those who seek to separate from the rest of china, but given that you see it as a positive step to see china have to come out and explain itself in front of the international community, how much pressure do you think china feels over this? iam not i am not sure how much difference this is going to make the policy. at least there is now a glimmer of hope. i understand that the delegation have talked about the possibility of the un observers being permitted into the region, and that‘ll be fantastic. i think for the first time there was a hint from the first time there was a hint from the statement seeing this will not go on forever, and that is also a

glimmer of hope. let's go to argentina now. let‘s go to argentina now where former president cristina kirchner has appeared in court as part of an inquiry into a massive corruption scandal. these are the pictures of her entering the court. in what has come to be known as the notebook scandal , it‘s alleged that tens of millions of dollars in bribes were funnelled to the presidential residence, executive mansion and offices. the scandal came to light when meticulous notes kept by a government driver were accessed by a newspaper who passed them on to the courts. the driver detailed how he delivered more than $160 million in cash to the residence of ms kirchner as part of a corruption scheme involving contracts for public works. the notebooks cover from 2003 to 2015, when cristina and her late husband nestor kirchner were president. ms kirchner took to twitter earlier today to protest her innocence, saying in one tweet, "it is the new regional strategy to outlaw leaders, movements and political forces that expanded rights and allowed millions of people to come out of poverty." let‘s talk to the bbc‘s katy watson. what did we hear from court today?

she arrived in court and didn‘t a nswer she arrived in court and didn‘t answer any questions but put out a statement talking about judicial persecution, effectively blaming the president for putting her in this situation in the first place. she talked about the fact it was just designed to stop her from talked about the fact it was just designed to stop herfrom running any presidential elections next year. she would be a strong candidate next year, still a very popularformer candidate next year, still a very popular former president despite what is happening. this is a case which shot argentina ever since on first august eight newspaper published this talking about the massive corruption network which comes from eight series of not books that a chauffeur wrote, particularly

about cash that was taken from business people to presidential residences. it is a story that people really can‘t get their head around and argentina, and they are talking about this new corruption scandal which could be likened to operation car wash in brazil, the scale of corruption which has been uncovered with cristina kirchner and her husband, also president before her. do we have any idea where this money allegedly ended up?m her. do we have any idea where this money allegedly ended up? it is still under investigation. hasn‘t been a lot of the evidence coming out yet because the judge still has some details under seal, and she is not giving much away but i have been more than a dozen people arrested since the story came out, some have been entering into plea bargains, but still a lot of information still to come out, which is why everybody in argentina is still glued to this story. thank you. waiting times for passengers

arriving at london heathrow rose to two and a half hours last month. the figures were released by one of the airlines which uses the airport. you can see virgin atlantic planes taxiing on the runway here. the figures show that on every day except one injuly, the uk border force missed its target of a 45—minute wait or less at passport control — for 95% of visitors from outside the european economic area. heathrow is on the outskirts of london. it's one of the world‘s busiest airports and the main gateway into the uk for international visitors. here‘s caroline davies, with the story. these figures from frustrated airlines who think the uk border could be better managed. they say that leaving people waiting at the border for several hours or however long is a very bad first impression when they first get to the uk.

this often happens to people from outside the european economic area, so roughly outside europe‘s borders from the rest of the world. why is it happening? according to the home office, they‘ve blamed computer failures and said they‘ve had a large number of cases dealing with adults and children who are vulnerable. there are some things outside their control, where flights are delayed and all arrive at the same point, it means those queues will tend to be longer. there have been solutions suggested, so heathrow airport asked for people from low—risk countries, what they refer to them as, people from america and canada, that they might be able to use the electronic gates when they go through rather than queueing up to see a person at the border. the home office has said they‘ve highlighted that the vast majority of people do still get through within the targeted times, and they‘ve said they play a crucial role in protecting the uk by looking after its borders. they highlighted that, at the beginning of the summer, they had an extra 200 staff at heathrow to help with those problems. the airlines say they understand safety issues but, particularly

at the moment, it‘s important to show the rest of the world the uk is open for business. stay with us on outside source — still to come. indonesia‘s capitaljakarta is one of the fastest sinking cities in the world. we keeper look at how it the city is keeping the water that be. one of the britain‘s biggest police forces, west midlands police, is to lobby ministers amid concerns the practice of selling written—off cars is fueling a surge in vehicle theft. detectives believe criminals are buying cars legitimately, but fixing them with parts taken from stolen vehicles. bob hockenhull reports. a raid on a so—called chop shop in birmingham. police suspect dozens of low—profile backstreet garages like this one are fuelling a car crime epidemic. these investigators say

there has been a big increase in the number of car is written off by insurers as repayable rather than suitable only for spare parts. the vehicles are stopped up at salvage options by criminal gangs who then steal other cards to get the replacement parts. we call these chop shops and we are launching a campaign today which is shop they chop shop, asking the community to tell us about suspicious activity. it might be unusual hours of activity are vehicles going in and not coming out again. bit of the dozen or so cars spend on carried so far, this one is the first to be confirmed stolen, and as you can see it is clearly in the process of being stripped down for parts. violent carjackings are often carried out to get the parts. relay devices are used to steal keyless vehicles. they plan to lobby the government to do more to clamp down

on criminal demand for spears. government to do more to clamp down on criminal demand for spearsm government to do more to clamp down on criminal demand for spears. it is taking millions out of the economy notjust in the taking millions out of the economy not just in the west taking millions out of the economy notjust in the west midlands but across the uk, so it is really important we work together with government and the insurance industry and the car—makers themselves to ensure we can address this problem effectively. the police distributed leaflets for their campaign today, encouraging people to report suspicious activity. three people were arrested in monthly green and all the cars uncovered in the backstreet garage were seized for further examination. this is outside source live from the bbc newsroom. our lead story. turkey‘s currency crisis has deepened, with president ergodan accusing the united states of stabbing his country in the back, after washington hit ankara with tariffs on steel. other stories from the bbc newsroom. thousands of mourners in north—east yemen have taken to the streets for the funeral of dozens of people who died last week in an airstrike.

local authorities say 51 people — including a0 children — were killed. the bus they were travelling in was hit by a plane from the saudi—led coalition fighting a civil war in the country. bbc arabic has that story. tunisia‘s president essebsi has proposed a bill to parliament on equal—inheritance between men and women.?however, the measure appears to have been watered—down, still allowing estates to be divided up under islamic sharia law, under which women receive half of what goes to men. ? the bill will now be debated by parliament before it‘s put to a vote. that‘s on bbc afrique. and this is getting a lot of clicks online. the swiss mountaineer, dani arnold — has set a new time record — climbing the notoriously tough north face of the grande yorasseson mont blanc. he reached the top — which stands over 4,200 metres — in two hours four minutes, free climbing. it‘s now thought the death toll from an an explosion at an arms

depot in a rebel—held part of northern syria has risen to nearly 70. this was the scene afterwards. parts of the building reduced to rubble. a cache of weapons stored in a basement was the source of the explostion, which brought down two five—story apartment buildings above. some survivors were pulled out alive from the debris. the blast happened here in the town of sarmada. more than a dozen of those killed were members of a jihadist group, hayat tahrir al—sham. that group controls more than half of idlib province, which is now home to one million people who have fled from other rebel—held parts of syria after previous government offensives on eastern ghouta near damascus and deraa in the south—west. on sunday a report in the egyptian newspaper al—watan quoted syrian military sources saying troops were now moving towards idlib, ready to begin a ground assault there. and according to one reporter: i spoke to hadya al—alawi from bbc

arabic who told me more about what happened. it was in a residential building and that caused the death of more than 50 civilians and a lot more from the main alliance, the jihad 50 civilians and a lot more from the main alliance, thejihad a 50 civilians and a lot more from the main alliance, the jihad a alliance, known as each gs. this explosion, we are told actually that this depot is run bya are told actually that this depot is run by a man, actually an arms dealer who works with hds. it is not something we see everyday, although we have seen explosions in the past few months but not something similar to this. this is such a risky thing to this. this is such a risky thing to do, but the storage of weapons

centres in residential areas. absolutely, and this has been the criticism today, we have heard from some officials that this will be investigated. that is the rebel group itself? absolutely, they say it isa group itself? absolutely, they say it is a complete disregard of civilian lives and the people who put in these explosives in the depot ina put in these explosives in the depot in a residential area has completely discarded those people‘s lives. in a residential area has completely discarded those people's lives. what do we think is coming in edler province? we know the government has been leafleting, how serious is what is in store? everything we have seen of the syrian war will not be as tough as what is coming in idlib. the syrian government has been preparing for this for years. it has been pushing all the levels to idlib so they can have a stronger offensive and in a way crackdown even more on the rebels. the

president has said that he has idlib in sightand president has said that he has idlib in sight and that is the next operation, and they have been intensifying the bombardment in the southern part of idlib and also sent lots of reinforcement, so everything is leading us to believe that the next offensive will be one of the biggest and the toughest we have seen throughout the syrian war in these seven years, and the rebel groups are not than to give up that easily, will not go down without a fight, so we will see a big push back from them which is why i believe there will be a huge humanitarian crisis. what you said is absolutely terrifying from the perspective of the civilians and that province? the humanitarian presence will be bigger than anything we have seen. the un has actually warned of a bloodbath that is going to happen and they are urging everyone to engage in talks rather than the big fight that eve ryo ne rather than the big fight that everyone is expecting. also that

calls from different sides that there will be eight big number of displaced people, more than we have seenin displaced people, more than we have seen in other fights displaced people, more than we have seen in otherfights in the displaced people, more than we have seen in other fights in the last few months, because a lot of them have actually moved from these provinces and cities to idlib where they will probably go now to turkey. it‘s a metropolis that‘s home to ten million people, but the indonesian capital jakarta is one of the fastest—sinking cities in the world. north jakarta is worst hit — it‘s subsided by two and a half metres in 10 years and continues to sink by as much as 25cm a year in some parts. that‘s more than double the global average for coastal megacities. if this goes unchecked, parts of jakarta could be entirely submerged by 2050. rafki hidayat reports. she has a beautiful seaview but it comes at a price. sea levels are

rising at house is sinking. it has flooded here several times. the sea water flows in and fills the swimming pool as high as that wall. the sea water is above the pool line. we have had to move all our furniture up to the second floor. her area has sunk by four metres in the last 20 years. he is a researcher at fund of indonesia‘s most respected public universities. if we look at our models, by 2050, 95% of north jakarta will be submerged. the potential for jakarta to be submerged is not a laughing matter. there is data to back it up. only two in five people have clean water. 13 brothers run through ja ka rta water. 13 brothers run through jakarta and they are all polluted. it forces people to pump water from

underground sources, causing the city to sink like it is sitting on a deflating balloon. the skyscrapers that dot the skyline are the main culprits. the governor of jakarta ordered an audit and found that dozens ordered an audit and found that d oze ns of ordered an audit and found that dozens of buildings were breaking the law by pumping out large amounts of ground water illegally. we are giving them a month to fix up their buildings so they are in line with regulations in place. if they don‘t, then the building licences could be rebooked. but experts say the only way to stop jakarta thinking rebooked. but experts say the only way to stopjakarta thinking is to stop all ground water extraction. this would force jakarta‘s 10 million residents to rely on rivers and lakes. they have promised to make this river printable in eight

yea rs, make this river printable in eight years, saying it could provide a centre of the city‘s water needs. however, it is filled with plastic and chemical waste. the smell is overpowering. authorities have begun a massive clean—up, but the task is huge, given that this is one of the most polluted rivers in the world. so for now, the millions of people who call this city home will keep pumping out ground water. injakarta will keep sinking. thanks for watching outside source, we‘re back at the same time tomorrow. after the slow—moving, often hot and dry weather of the summer so far, our weather conveyor belt is now

once again up and running. by weather conveyor belt of course i am talking about the jet stream with the wind is high above our heads bringing this to the british isles, most of the rain to the north—west, but every so often this jet stream drives the lane for the south and east, and what that also does is divides cool air in the north from warmer layer which will always try to work its way back to the south—east. for the rest of this week, we can sum it up like this, the wettest in the north—west, the warmest in the south—east and quite breezy wherever you are. tuesday is a case in point, the wettest weather across scotland and northern ireland, rain light and patchy, as far england and wales largely dry apart from the odd shower in the east of england. a few sunny spells with the lot of cloud, much cooler further north and west. high—pressure tries to hold on across the southern and eastern areas as they get one into which the

state, but remember the debt i showed you, that is spinning at an area of low pressure which once again will bring rain into the north—west on wednesday, northern ireland and scotland and getting down into north—west wales. it will be quite breezy wherever you are and as far as the temperature, still quite a range. feel it cool across the north—west but then towards the south—east still quite a warm and humid feel. but that‘ll change as we get into thursday, this frontal system, called front continues to work southworth and the swords, so the south—east will get a dose of rain and behind that for the time being, some cool and fresh air. we can being, some cool and fresh air. we ca n follow being, some cool and fresh air. we can follow the weather front through thursday morning across the south—east, still heavy bursts of rainfora time south—east, still heavy bursts of rain for a time but in ireland things will brighten up, showers into the north—west but you can see the temperature dipping away. 17 in glasgow and perhaps 21 at best in

london. thursday into friday, we do it all again with high—pressure trying to control things in the south and another area of low pressure, this is clearly deep bringing rain across north and west areas, but some pretty strong winds as well across the far north—west and we could see costs of 40—50. further south quite a blustery day but again spells of sunshine and the temperature if anything starting to creep up again across the south—east corner, a process that continues during saturday. remnants of the old frontal system, the best of the sunshine down towards the south—east, another batch of rain moving into the north—west and the temperature ranging from 17—19 to the low to mid 20s further south and east. what is the weather conveyor belt going to be doing as we head into next week? more of the same, essentially. still driving weather

systems, most of the lane to the north—west and at times the potential for some warm air pushing its way and across the south and east, so as we go into next week, more of the same, wettest in the north—west, warmest in the south—east and often breezy, what will it bring us next? we will keep you up—to—date. a doctor struck off following the death of a six—year—old boy wins her appeal to practise medicine again. dr hadiza bawa—garba was convicted of manslaughter by gross negligence in 2015 after the little boy died at leicester royal infirmary. i can‘t see myself being anybody else but a practising doctor serving the community, so of course when i got the news that i could be given the opportunity to work again, i was very pleased. jack adcock died of sepsis in 2011, after what was described as a catalogue of errors. his mother says she‘s devastated by today‘s ruling. i'm disgusted, i'm devastated. ijust cannot understand how someone
