The first one is called "conductor screening" and the second one is called "insulation screening".

With unscreened cable there are stress points between the conductors. The screening equalises the stress around the core. The outer screening evens out the stress to earth.

Jointing or terminating the cable requires stress relief at the end of the screening so that there isn't a sudden stop which will cause insulation failure.

Hope this helps.
