Hi, everyone.

0:00:110:00:12

I'm Naz.

0:00:120:00:13

It's Tuesday and this is Newsround.

0:00:130:00:15

Our top story this afternoon is about Syria, a country

0:00:150:00:17

in the Middle East where different groups have been at war

0:00:170:00:20

for more than five years.

0:00:200:00:21

Today a group of aid workers taking trucks of food, clothes and medicine

0:00:210:00:23

-- Yesterday a group of aid workers taking trucks of food,

0:00:340:00:36

clothes and medicine

0:00:360:00:37

to people caught in the fighting were attacked by warplanes.

0:00:370:00:40

Around 20 people died.

0:00:400:00:41

The volunteers were from the United Nations.

0:00:410:00:42

Now the group, which gets countries to work together for peace,

0:00:420:00:45

has said it will stop sending any more aid going into Syria.

0:00:450:00:48

BBC reporter James Longman sent Newsround this

0:00:480:00:50

from neighbouring country Lebanon.

0:00:500:00:51

There are millions of people who live in parts of Syria

0:00:510:00:53

without regular access to food or medical supplies and this convoy

0:00:530:00:56

was volunteers trying to get aid to a town in the north of Syria.

0:00:560:00:59

Eyewitnesses say bombs were dropped from helicopters

0:00:590:01:02

on a warehouse and 18 trucks, and they had enough aid and medical

0:01:020:01:05

supplies for 78,000 people.

0:01:050:01:09

It comes at a very difficult time for the country because last week

0:01:090:01:13

there was supposed to be a pause in the fighting but it has been very

0:01:130:01:17

difficult to get all the different groups inside Syria to agree.

0:01:170:01:20

So now politicians are going to have to find a way to save the ceasefire,

0:01:200:01:24

but it is very difficult to see how they can do that because if you hit

0:01:240:01:28

aid workers in a war zone, that is against international law

0:01:280:01:31

and that is a war crime.

0:01:310:01:35

In other news, Great Britain's Paralympic stars have

0:01:350:01:37

arrived home from Rio, after their most successful

0:01:370:01:39

Games in nearly 30 years.

0:01:390:01:42

They won 147 medals between them, including 64 golds!

0:01:420:01:47

Ayshah was at London's Heathrow Airport to greet the athletes.

0:01:470:01:51

This is the moment they landed.

0:01:530:01:56

Paralympics GB are home.

0:01:560:02:02

They're the first ones off the plane.

0:02:020:02:05

There is cheering, there are flags waving, it's just so exciting.

0:02:050:02:08

Family and friends packed out the arrival hall,

0:02:080:02:10

waiting to see them.

0:02:100:02:12

What are you going to do when you first see her?

0:02:120:02:15

I'm going to tell her how proud I am of her and what an amazing

0:02:150:02:18

achievement it is.

0:02:180:02:23

I'll wave my flags in the air and have a big, big hug.

0:02:230:02:26

Probably going to break her with a hug.

0:02:260:02:28

Will, welcome home.

0:02:280:02:29

How are you feeling?

0:02:290:02:30

Absolutely so happy.

0:02:300:02:31

Relieved to be back and I'm just, yeah, it was an amazing time.

0:02:310:02:34

What is it like to come home and just see the reaction

0:02:340:02:37

of everyone cheering?

0:02:370:02:38

We kind of had an inkling that there was something

0:02:380:02:47

pretty special but when you come off that plane,

0:02:470:02:49

you realise how many people are here, they're welcoming us home

0:02:490:02:52

because we've had such a successful games as a whole team

0:02:520:02:55

and really come out on top, there are just positive faces around

0:02:550:02:58

here and it's just a pleasure to be part of.

0:02:580:03:00

It's overwhelming.

0:03:000:03:01

It's just incredible.

0:03:010:03:02

No one ever expected this.

0:03:020:03:03

It's just amazing.

0:03:030:03:04

The support, the drums, the party atmosphere.

0:03:040:03:06

Yeah, it's just been sensational.

0:03:060:03:08

We were speaking to your family earlier live on Newsround.

0:03:080:03:10

They are beyond proud of you.

0:03:100:03:12

How does that make you feel?

0:03:120:03:13

It's awesome.

0:03:130:03:14

I love my family and being able to be there and do something special

0:03:140:03:18

and them being able to support the is my dream.

0:03:180:03:22

To come back and see all the support, like

0:03:220:03:24

the cheering and, like, oh, it's just insane.

0:03:240:03:26

It's spine tingling.

0:03:260:03:27

It's so exciting that everybody's really got behind us

0:03:270:03:29

and is supporting us.

0:03:290:03:30

Yeah, it's been good and the reception and how I'm

0:03:300:03:33

getting received is amazing.

0:03:330:03:34

I'm glad I'm able to stand as a role model and hopefully

0:03:340:03:37

get my message across.

0:03:370:03:38

I want everyone to believe they can achieve what they want to achieve.

0:03:380:03:41

Two years ago I was in a hospital bed unable to walk and just

0:03:410:03:44

about to get my MS diagnosis, and to be here two years

0:03:440:03:47

later, it's great.

0:03:470:03:48

All that's left to say is welcome home, Paralympics GB, welcome home.

0:03:480:03:58

Thanks, Ayshah.

0:03:590:04:06

We're talking to Eliie Simmonds live tomorrow morning on Newsround,

0:04:060:04:08

and we want to know what you want to ask her.

0:04:110:04:13

Now to the incredible moment that everyone's been talking

0:04:130:04:15

about - Alistair Brownlee helping his brother Jonny over

0:04:150:04:18

the line during a triathlon race after his legs gave way.

0:04:180:04:20

Well, the pair have been talking about that act of brotherly love.

0:04:200:04:23

Sometimes in sport, we talk about winning is the most

0:04:230:04:26

important thing in the world, and a lot of time it is.

0:04:260:04:28

But maybe yesterday helping a brother out was more important.

0:04:280:04:31

So it takes a very strong and good person to do that.

0:04:310:04:34

All I can do is say thank you.

0:04:340:04:35

I'll make him remember it.

0:04:350:04:37

I'll have to buy him a good Christmas present.

0:04:370:04:41

That's all from me.

0:04:410:04:42

Newsround's back tomorrow morning at 7:40.

0:04:420:04:47

I'll see you then!
