Claims of a chemical attack in the besieged | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
The UN says it's investigating reports that chlorine was dropped | :00:00. | :00:15. | |
by government forces on rebel held areas - a war crime if proven. | :00:16. | :00:18. | |
When the rocket exploded we smelled gas, my eyes were hot and burning, | :00:19. | :00:21. | |
I had difficulty breathing, it was a horrible smell. | :00:22. | :00:26. | |
We have an exclusive report from Aleppo where two million people | :00:27. | :00:28. | |
Katherine Grainger becomes Britain's most decorated female Olympian | :00:29. | :00:44. | |
after rowing to silver with her team mate Vicky Thornley. | :00:45. | :00:46. | |
Considering what we've been through in the past couple of years, | :00:47. | :00:49. | |
I'm so proud of what we've done and it's a medal that not many | :00:50. | :00:53. | |
people would have put money on so I'm pleased. | :00:54. | :00:55. | |
Labour's power problems - the lights go out on Jeremy Corbyn | :00:56. | :00:57. | |
and Owen Smith during their latest leadership debate. | :00:58. | :01:04. | |
And why Muslim women are the most disadvantaged in British society - | :01:05. | :01:08. | |
In Sportsday on BBC News. Gold or silver, guaranteed for Team GB in | :01:09. | :01:25. | |
the men's rugby sevens. Victory against South Africa, setting up a | :01:26. | :01:27. | |
final against Fiji later. The United Nations says it's | :01:28. | :01:42. | |
investigating reports of a chlorine gas attack in the besieged | :01:43. | :01:46. | |
Syrian city of Aleppo. The UN says such an attack would be | :01:47. | :01:48. | |
a war crime but the Syrian government has denied | :01:49. | :01:51. | |
any involvement. Two million people are trapped | :01:52. | :01:54. | |
in the divided city by fierce fighting - | :01:55. | :01:58. | |
with little food, medicine Our Middle East Correspondent | :01:59. | :02:00. | |
Quentin Sommerville has this exclusive report | :02:01. | :02:05. | |
on what victims say A warning from the beginning it | :02:06. | :02:11. | |
contains some disturbing images. In this war without mersy, a baby's | :02:12. | :02:27. | |
first breath could be its last. The shock of is suspected chemical | :02:28. | :02:32. | |
attack, brought him into the world. Look and you see the umbilical chord | :02:33. | :02:37. | |
attached, as he struggles for life. We don't know his name but we know | :02:38. | :02:43. | |
that the doctors in Aleppo saved his life last night. Dozens came here to | :02:44. | :02:47. | |
the hospital in the rebel-controlled east. | :02:48. | :02:54. | |
As the medics struggled to help, there was even worse to come. | :02:55. | :03:11. | |
Chlorine gas is suspected. This is Samia, she is barely two. When the | :03:12. | :03:18. | |
chlorine gas gets inside young lungs, it can bring terrible damage. | :03:19. | :03:21. | |
Children and baby's are especially vulnerable. | :03:22. | :03:28. | |
When the rocket exploded, we smelled the gas. | :03:29. | :03:32. | |
My eyes were hot and burning. I had difficulty breathing. It was a | :03:33. | :03:36. | |
horrible smell. So horrible, I could not describe it. | :03:37. | :03:42. | |
After a gas attack, clothes are removed, the patients washed to | :03:43. | :03:46. | |
prevent secondary contamination. The medics here at the hospital have had | :03:47. | :03:49. | |
training from British doctors in dealing with chemical attacks. They | :03:50. | :03:53. | |
know what to look for and how to react. | :03:54. | :04:01. | |
There is a lot of confusion... We received lots of injuries about 30 | :04:02. | :04:05. | |
minutes ago. The injuries were caused by chlorine attacks in the | :04:06. | :04:11. | |
area. When we checked the injured we discoffered it was from a chlorine | :04:12. | :04:18. | |
substance. The injuries vary, people from all age, children, elderly, | :04:19. | :04:25. | |
young people. It is hurting me, says this buoy. | :04:26. | :04:30. | |
The doctors say that they have to wash it out or he will go blind. | :04:31. | :04:38. | |
This neighbourhood was hit by four barrel bombs from the regime | :04:39. | :04:42. | |
helicopters, say the eyewitnesses. The shells were taken for analysis. | :04:43. | :04:50. | |
President Assad's groups have been losing ground but the regime denies | :04:51. | :04:54. | |
using chemical weapons. The attacks come at night as people cannot see | :04:55. | :05:01. | |
the green gas in the dark. It's a desperate tactic and it is herible | :05:02. | :05:07. | |
effective. A mother and two children were killed in this attack in Aleppo | :05:08. | :05:11. | |
last night. It might seem that looking at Syria | :05:12. | :05:15. | |
from the outside it is an unchanging hell but the situation has altered | :05:16. | :05:21. | |
over the past few days. New alliances, rebels united with | :05:22. | :05:25. | |
seethedists surprised everybody by breaking the government siege. This | :05:26. | :05:31. | |
could be the deceasive moment in the Syrian Civil War and right now a | :05:32. | :05:35. | |
million people in the west and a quarter of a million people in the | :05:36. | :05:40. | |
east of the city with barely any contact with the outside world. No | :05:41. | :05:45. | |
fighting today, no ceasefire to speak of nor on the horizon. | :05:46. | :05:50. | |
One of the three schoolgirls from East London who travelled | :05:51. | :05:53. | |
to Syria last year to join so-called Islamic state | :05:54. | :05:55. | |
is believed to have been killed in an air strike in Raqqa - | :05:56. | :05:58. | |
according to the solicitor representing her family. | :05:59. | :05:59. | |
Kadiza Sultana was 16 when she disappeared | :06:00. | :06:01. | |
from Bethnal Green along with two friends. | :06:02. | :06:03. | |
Her family says she'd told them she was disillusioned with life | :06:04. | :06:06. | |
To Rio now and day six of the Olympics where | :06:07. | :06:21. | |
herself into the record books by becoming Britain's most | :06:22. | :06:24. | |
decorated female Olympian after winning her 5th | :06:25. | :06:26. | |
She took silver with Vicky Thornley in the women's double sculls - | :06:27. | :06:30. | |
though the pair were agonisingly close to taking gold. | :06:31. | :06:32. | |
Rarely has a more remarkable journey had a happier ending - | :06:33. | :06:45. | |
Katherine Grainger, the new history woman of British sport. | :06:46. | :06:47. | |
Grainger took a two-year break after London 2012 before | :06:48. | :06:49. | |
a comeback with new partner, Vicky Thornley. | :06:50. | :06:51. | |
Grainger, the defending Olympic champion... | :06:52. | :06:52. | |
Months ago they weren't even in the team. | :06:53. | :06:55. | |
But out of nowhere, something special. | :06:56. | :06:57. | |
The pair were on course for a fairytale gold before Poland | :06:58. | :07:00. | |
Great Britain's Thornley and Grainger... | :07:01. | :07:08. | |
Cue emotion and elation and for Grainger, a place | :07:09. | :07:17. | |
And they are going away Olympic silver medallist, | :07:18. | :07:20. | |
Well, what an incredible race, and what an incredible moment | :07:21. | :07:26. | |
Five Games, five medals, the most decorated British | :07:27. | :07:32. | |
I remember at the start of this campaign, feeling | :07:33. | :07:42. | |
if I could come out with anything, any medal of any | :07:43. | :07:44. | |
be my greatest achievement, justs because of where it started from. | :07:45. | :07:48. | |
So to be standing here finally in the Riocentro, | :07:49. | :07:54. | |
Grainger's five medals takes her clear of her only | :07:55. | :07:57. | |
modern-day rival, Rebecca Adlington with four. | :07:58. | :08:01. | |
There's been a lot of talk about the form that they are in. | :08:02. | :08:07. | |
To get that silver medal, I think she would be very, | :08:08. | :08:12. | |
So, after silver medals at Sydney 2000, Athens 2004, Beijing 2008 | :08:13. | :08:16. | |
and gold at London 2012, she's made it a famous five. | :08:17. | :08:18. | |
Now surely the end of her career - but what a way to go out. | :08:19. | :08:26. | |
There've been more medals for Team GB this evening, David Florence | :08:27. | :08:34. | |
and Richard Hounslow took silver in the men's canoe slalom. | :08:35. | :08:37. | |
Britain are guaranteed a medal in the men's rugby sevens, | :08:38. | :08:39. | |
after beating South Africa to reach the final against Fiji in just | :08:40. | :08:42. | |
And all eyes are on the velodrome where Team GB are beginning | :08:43. | :08:46. | |
A look of pure determination as he and partner Richard hone lose | :08:47. | :09:05. | |
started their quest for gold. The pair were on an Olympic swansong. | :09:06. | :09:10. | |
This is the moment of truth for Great Britain... After winning | :09:11. | :09:14. | |
silver in London, could they go one better? Not even half a second gap | :09:15. | :09:20. | |
separated them from gold but still a great way to say goodbye. | :09:21. | :09:24. | |
We have worked really hard over the years. | :09:25. | :09:27. | |
To come out with a medal at the Olympics is fantastic. Again, so | :09:28. | :09:32. | |
close to the gold. So maybe a little bittersweet but, we are happy! Rugby | :09:33. | :09:38. | |
sevens has been a huge hit at the Games. Great Britain's team enjoying | :09:39. | :09:45. | |
the ride. Against Africa South Africa a combination of blistering | :09:46. | :09:50. | |
pace... Now, the speedster. One on one... Followed by brilliant | :09:51. | :09:56. | |
defending ensuring that they made it through to tonight's final, winning | :09:57. | :09:59. | |
7-5. Great Britain are in the gold final! | :10:00. | :10:06. | |
They play Fiji, guaranteed their first ever Olympic medal after they | :10:07. | :10:11. | |
beat Japan, 20-5. Golf is back after a 112 year break | :10:12. | :10:18. | |
and Justin Rose has made history with the sport's first Olympic hole | :10:19. | :10:21. | |
in one. He likes this, oh! He has a hole in | :10:22. | :10:26. | |
one. Justin Rose has the first hole in one! After a bronze frr Froome in | :10:27. | :10:35. | |
the time trial, the time of the track cyclists tory the medals. Well | :10:36. | :10:39. | |
the velodrome was the scene of many golden moments in 2012. Tonight | :10:40. | :10:43. | |
could be another in the men's team sprint. | :10:44. | :10:48. | |
Led by three times Olympic champion, Jason Kenny, the team won qualifying | :10:49. | :10:53. | |
in style with an Olympic record. But the women went one better in | :10:54. | :10:59. | |
qualifying for the team pursuit, smashing the world Ron Howard. | :11:00. | :11:06. | |
And -- smashing the world record. And now Simone Biles is going for | :11:07. | :11:12. | |
gold number two of a projected five. She has won ten World Championship | :11:13. | :11:16. | |
golds in three years. It would take a brave man, or woman, to bet | :11:17. | :11:20. | |
against her sweeping the Olympic board. | :11:21. | :11:25. | |
This is how the medals table looks right now: | :11:26. | :11:27. | |
Team GB have slipped down into 10th place with 14 medals | :11:28. | :11:32. | |
Our Sports Editor, Dan Roan, joins us from Rio. | :11:33. | :11:35. | |
British cyclists have got off to a great start. | :11:36. | :11:40. | |
It could get better. That is Natalie reporting, in the next few minute, | :11:41. | :11:49. | |
the final of the men's team sprint. As we remember from London 2012, the | :11:50. | :11:54. | |
velodrome was the meed #58 factory for Team GB, the level of the | :11:55. | :12:00. | |
success. Nine medals, seven of those golds. We are about to discover | :12:01. | :12:06. | |
whether or not the domination on the track continues with Sir Chris Hoy. | :12:07. | :12:09. | |
Of course, he retired but Jason Kenny is going for a fourth Olympic | :12:10. | :12:13. | |
gold. That is in the next ten minutes. After that, the final of | :12:14. | :12:18. | |
the rugby sevens. G B taking on Fiji. So by the end of this evening | :12:19. | :12:23. | |
there could be up to five Gold Medals, another successful day. A | :12:24. | :12:27. | |
big night elsewhere for some of the biggest stars of the game. We | :12:28. | :12:33. | |
mentioned Simone Biles she just claimed the second Gold Medal of | :12:34. | :12:38. | |
what is sure to be a huge career in the final of the women's all-round. | :12:39. | :12:43. | |
And Michael Phelps going for the 22nd gold of his career. Tomorrow, | :12:44. | :12:47. | |
looking forward to events in equest ran and track and field. Yennis hill | :12:48. | :12:56. | |
and Jo Pavy beginning their race. And then a second inquiry over drugs | :12:57. | :13:05. | |
testing. That. More to come on that. | :13:06. | :13:07. | |
You can follow all the action from Rio 2016 on the BBC | :13:08. | :13:11. | |
with live coverage for the rest of the night and into the early | :13:12. | :13:15. | |
Two bombs have exploded in the Thai resort of Hua Hin. | :13:16. | :13:19. | |
One woman has been killed and 19 others injured, | :13:20. | :13:21. | |
Police said the bombs were hidden in plant pots and detonated | :13:22. | :13:25. | |
by mobile phones within half an hour of each other. | :13:26. | :13:28. | |
Local reports say the woman who died was running a food stall | :13:29. | :13:31. | |
The independent inquiry into historical child abuse | :13:32. | :13:37. | |
in England and Wales has been beset by problems since it began in 2014. | :13:38. | :13:40. | |
Today the inquiry named its 4th chair in just 2 years. | :13:41. | :13:45. | |
Today the inquiry named its 4th chair in just two years. | :13:46. | :13:47. | |
Professor Alexis Jay - a child protection expert - | :13:48. | :13:52. | |
will now take over after Dame Lowell Goddard became | :13:53. | :13:54. | |
Our Home Affairs Correspondent Daniel Sandford is here. | :13:55. | :14:03. | |
Professor Jay is the only one of the chairs who is not a judgment she is | :14:04. | :14:11. | |
very experienced. She is a social worker and former director of social | :14:12. | :14:16. | |
services. She is surrounded by lawyers in the enquiries so the hope | :14:17. | :14:19. | |
is that any problems from her not being a lawyer should be possible to | :14:20. | :14:24. | |
be overcome. What she is critically is a member of the enquiry panel, an | :14:25. | :14:28. | |
existing member, so she knows the work that has been done and it | :14:29. | :14:31. | |
should be possible for the enquiry to get on with its work without too | :14:32. | :14:36. | |
much delay. Also, she was the woman who was in charge -- in charge into | :14:37. | :14:40. | |
the enquiry into rape and trafficking in Rotherham. That | :14:41. | :14:45. | |
enquiry owed a lot of respect and trust from child sexual abuse | :14:46. | :14:50. | |
survivors, and that's important. These -- being worried that a | :14:51. | :14:55. | |
terrible start, just four chairs in two years. It has not heard any | :14:56. | :14:59. | |
evidence so far, Dame Lowell Goddard saying last week when she resigned | :15:00. | :15:03. | |
that it had a legacy of failure. But there is a sense tonight that it can | :15:04. | :15:07. | |
go forward with the confidence of many involved, start taking evidence | :15:08. | :15:11. | |
in a brewery at the beginning of what could be at least five years of | :15:12. | :15:18. | |
harrowing testimony. -- start taking evidence in February. | :15:19. | :15:20. | |
The Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn has told Owen Smith, | :15:21. | :15:22. | |
his challenger for the party's leadership, to accept | :15:23. | :15:24. | |
that the British people have voted to leave the European Union. | :15:25. | :15:26. | |
The two men clashed tonight in a live debate, where Mr Smith | :15:27. | :15:29. | |
argued for a second referendum to reverse the Brexit decision. | :15:30. | :15:32. | |
At one point, the debate was plunged into darkness | :15:33. | :15:34. | |
From Gateshead, our political correspondent Carole Walker reports. | :15:35. | :15:43. | |
Supporters of the Labour leader were out in force to greet Jeremy Corbyn. | :15:44. | :15:49. | |
He has drawn big crowds since the start of the campaign. | :15:50. | :15:50. | |
Owen Smith has acknowledged he is the underdog but he launched | :15:51. | :15:53. | |
into an attack on Jeremy Corbyn's role in the EU referendum campaign. | :15:54. | :15:56. | |
He was seven out of ten in terms of his truth in the European Union. | :15:57. | :16:02. | |
What has been disappointing since is that having not made the effort | :16:03. | :16:11. | |
we should have made, Jeremy has been ten out of ten | :16:12. | :16:14. | |
Mr Corbyn dismissed his rival's suggestion of a second referendum | :16:15. | :16:18. | |
A referendum has taken place and I think we have two recognise | :16:19. | :16:23. | |
that whatever we feel about it, there is the result from that | :16:24. | :16:26. | |
referendum which we have to work with. | :16:27. | :16:34. | |
Our message to the rest of the world is that our lights have gone out... | :16:35. | :16:39. | |
With the lighting restored, the divisions at the heart | :16:40. | :16:42. | |
If we are to take on the Tories, why did you when others then resign | :16:43. | :16:57. | |
I resigned because you cannot lead us back to power. | :16:58. | :17:03. | |
And on restoring Labour's economic credibility, the clashes continued. | :17:04. | :17:08. | |
Let's get to it as a party and get out there in involve people | :17:09. | :17:14. | |
There was no escaping the passionate hostility between the two contenders | :17:15. | :17:20. | |
vying for the leadership and future direction of the Labour Party. | :17:21. | :17:30. | |
A brief look at some of the day's other news stories: | :17:31. | :17:32. | |
A 45-year-old woman and three children aged between 11 and 13 | :17:33. | :17:35. | |
were killed in a multiple vehicle pile up on the A34 in Berkshire | :17:36. | :17:38. | |
The woman has been named as Tracy Howton from | :17:39. | :17:44. | |
Her two sons and an 11-year-old girl travelling with | :17:45. | :17:47. | |
Police in Canada have confirmed they killed a terror suspect | :17:48. | :17:59. | |
Junior doctors have called for more industrial action. They have accused | :18:00. | :18:04. | |
the government of failing to address concerns about the new contract. | :18:05. | :18:06. | |
In France, thousands of firefighters have been tackling forest fires | :18:07. | :18:08. | |
along parts of the Mediterranean coast, with some of the worst | :18:09. | :18:11. | |
Four people have been seriously injured. | :18:12. | :18:18. | |
The French president says some of the fires | :18:19. | :18:21. | |
Muslim women are the most economically disadvantaged | :18:22. | :18:24. | |
group in our society, according to a report by MPs today. | :18:25. | :18:27. | |
Official statistics show that 16% of Muslim women are unemployed, | :18:28. | :18:29. | |
And 58% are economically inactive, compared with 27% of all women. | :18:30. | :18:36. | |
MPs are calling on employers to change the way they recruit staff, | :18:37. | :18:40. | |
They say that's because white-sounding names are more likely | :18:41. | :18:46. | |
Our Home Editor, Mark Easton, reports from Manchester. | :18:47. | :18:52. | |
So we're here today to talk about Muslims and the workplace... | :18:53. | :18:55. | |
On a community radio station in Manchester, they're asking why | :18:56. | :18:58. | |
Muslims emerge as the most economically disadvantaged group | :18:59. | :19:02. | |
It's just the stereotypes attached with Muslim women wearing the hijab | :19:03. | :19:07. | |
and maybe she's not an educated woman. | :19:08. | :19:10. | |
Even taking account of education and language skills, | :19:11. | :19:12. | |
Muslim women suffer significantly higher values of worklessness | :19:13. | :19:17. | |
than women generally, with evidence that employers | :19:18. | :19:20. | |
are illegally discriminating against job applicants in religious | :19:21. | :19:23. | |
We have had reports of people changing their name by deed poll. | :19:24. | :19:29. | |
There are not a lot of examples I have heard, but there are examples | :19:30. | :19:33. | |
Changing their name so they can get a job? | :19:34. | :19:36. | |
Changing their name to something sounding more English. | :19:37. | :19:38. | |
Today, a report from MPs says many Muslim women face a triple | :19:39. | :19:41. | |
penalty of discrimination when trying to get job - | :19:42. | :19:44. | |
they are women, they are from an ethnic minority and, | :19:45. | :19:47. | |
This 21-year-old Muslim graduate who wished to remain | :19:48. | :19:53. | |
anonymous told me that, after telephone interviews | :19:54. | :19:55. | |
