The radical plans to change the parliamentary boundaries for the

:00:00.:00:23.

House of Commons. Many MPs are unhappy. There is an absence of

:00:24.:00:27.

fairness in these proposals which I don't think the British people will

:00:28.:00:32.

like. We will have the details and look at the impact on the plans.

:00:33.:00:38.

Also tonight... Welcome to the Great British Bake Off.

:00:39.:00:42.

The Great British Bake Off is on the move -

:00:43.:00:44.

but Mel and Sue say they won't "follow the dough" to Channel 4.

:00:45.:00:52.

Health and the presidency - Clinton supporters say their woman

:00:53.:00:54.

And another great day for Paralympics GB -

:00:55.:00:58.

three more golds - including Rob Davies

:00:59.:00:59.

And coming up in Sportsday on BBC News:

:01:00.:01:04.

A hat trick for Lionel Messi as Scottish champions Celtic

:01:05.:01:06.

are hammered by Barcelona in the Nou Camp on their return

:01:07.:01:09.

Controversial plans for re-drawing the parliamentary constituency

:01:10.:01:42.

boundaries in England and Wales, were published

:01:43.:01:47.

boundaries in England and Wales, were published today.

:01:48.:01:51.

losing a quarter of its seats - and dozens of MPs -

:01:52.:01:55.

including Jeremy Corbyn and George Osborne -

:01:56.:01:57.

Plans for Scotland are expected at the end of October,

:01:58.:02:02.

Every five years we elect members of Parliament

:02:03.:02:09.

from all over the UK to represent us at Westminster.

:02:10.:02:11.

But the government thinks the current system is unfair

:02:12.:02:16.

Here in the Midlands, major changes are on the cards.

:02:17.:02:19.

Ministers want to cut the cost of politics by axing

:02:20.:02:22.

At the moment, these three Labour MPs represent Stoke but the new map

:02:23.:02:34.

shows that being reduced to two at the next election.

:02:35.:02:37.

That will mean friends fighting it out for the new seats.

:02:38.:02:41.

What we're seeing under this Tory plan is a whole sale assault

:02:42.:02:43.

on Labour constituencies from Wales to Stoke-on-Trent to the north-east,

:02:44.:02:47.

so there is an absence of fairness in these proposals.

:02:48.:02:55.

The Boundary Commission are effectively downgrading

:02:56.:02:57.

the importance of cities like Stoke-on-Trent.

:02:58.:02:58.

Giving each constituency roughly the same number of voters could make

:02:59.:03:01.

it harder for Labour to win the next election.

:03:02.:03:03.

The party performs better in urban seats like Stoke which tend

:03:04.:03:06.

Under the plans, every constituency will have

:03:07.:03:11.

So in England the number of MPs will fall from 533 to 501.

:03:12.:03:23.

From 40 to 29 in Wales, from 59 to 53 in Scotland, and from

:03:24.:03:26.

Orkney and Shetland on the Western Isles will

:03:27.:03:38.

have fewer voters as will the two new constituencies

:03:39.:03:40.

Currently we have seats which are three times the size

:03:41.:03:47.

of another which means one elector's vote is worth three times of another

:03:48.:03:51.

and that simply not fair, which is why we're determined

:03:52.:03:53.

to ensure equal size constituencies that is why this has been enacted.

:03:54.:03:56.

For the first time a new constituency will straddle

:03:57.:04:07.

the Cornwall Devon border across the Tamar.

:04:08.:04:09.

We are one county, they are another county.

:04:10.:04:12.

Why don't they just keep it to their selves?

:04:13.:04:14.

I think it will work fine because, you know, we're all very similar,

:04:15.:04:17.

For Labour, there's another dimension to these boundary changes.

:04:18.:04:25.

All three of the MPs here in Stoke have been really critical

:04:26.:04:28.

And his supporters have already raised the possibility

:04:29.:04:31.

of using the shakeup of constituencies to get rid

:04:32.:04:33.

of these MPs and bring in their own people.

:04:34.:04:35.

Potentially changing the face of the Labour Party.

:04:36.:04:39.

In terms of anyone trying to exploit this for political gain,

:04:40.:04:42.

for making this about them and not about the people we choose to serve,

:04:43.:04:46.

they should be ashamed of themselves.

:04:47.:04:51.

This process has been likened to a game of musical chairs but

:04:52.:04:54.

MPs in the House of Lords still have to approve the measures and there's

:04:55.:04:57.

a public consultation, so there's still everything

:04:58.:04:59.

If you want to know how your local area could be affected,

:05:00.:05:08.

there's lots of information on our website -

:05:09.:05:13.

including a full breakdown of what is changing and where.

:05:14.:05:16.

There is also an interactive map on part of the website. You can click

:05:17.:05:29.

on that in your area and see what is being proposed.

:05:30.:05:41.

The Labour leader Owen Smith has said --

:05:42.:05:50.

-- the Labour leader candidate Owen Smith has said Jeremy Corbyn is

:05:51.:06:02.

delusional. Laura Kuenssberg has been interviewing him.

:06:03.:06:06.

Hello, it's John here from the Owen Smith campaign.

:06:07.:06:08.

The leader has to be creating policies.

:06:09.:06:12.

Owen Smith's supporters try to persuade Labour members even

:06:13.:06:15.

They know and he knows Jeremy Corbyn is the overwhelming favourite.

:06:16.:06:19.

While a room in a leisure centre is readied for another

:06:20.:06:22.

Labour's got to win and with Jeremy we've got no chance of it.

:06:23.:06:33.

Jeremy Corbyn claims though that Tories are in retreat.

:06:34.:06:35.

I think that's delusional and I think the reality is Jeremy

:06:36.:06:39.

needs to think a bit more about that straight, honest politics

:06:40.:06:41.

The straight, honest truth is that we are right now

:06:42.:06:46.

I think he's misleading himself if he thinks that we're heading

:06:47.:06:52.

So you are suggesting that he and some of his

:06:53.:06:58.

They've said repeatedly, look, actually they've been ahead

:06:59.:07:01.

in some opinion polls, doing well in by-elections,

:07:02.:07:03.

Isn't the truth he's been able to motivate thousands of supporters

:07:04.:07:10.

We've had mass rallies many times in the past.

:07:11.:07:20.

It doesn't necessarily translate into the only mass movement

:07:21.:07:23.

which really matters which is a mass movement of people voting Labour.

:07:24.:07:28.

He says his values are the same as the leader he is trying to beat.

:07:29.:07:34.

We're going to ask you all to write down what is the most

:07:35.:07:37.

important thing for the next Labour Party leader.

:07:38.:07:39.

But for some Owen Smith supporters, the most important thing seems

:07:40.:07:42.

Reveal your words.

:07:43.:07:48.

It feels like Jeremy just closed himself off behind the walls

:07:49.:07:57.

in the opposition office and he refuses to listen to anyone

:07:58.:08:00.

I think he's that unifying person because the Labour Party's always

:08:01.:08:07.

been a coalition of members of Parliament and the members

:08:08.:08:09.

I think we've forgotten that we are a movement

:08:10.:08:20.

Don't you and your colleagues in Westminster have to accept

:08:21.:08:25.

that if he wins again, the party has changed?

:08:26.:08:29.

My vision of the Labour Party is a serious party of power.

:08:30.:08:34.

It's a party that is created, was created, is still existing

:08:35.:08:38.

in order to hold power at Westminster through the ballot

:08:39.:08:41.

box in order to change people's lives.

:08:42.:08:45.

If we don't win this time, would you run again?

:08:46.:08:47.

I'll wait and see what happens on the 24th.

:08:48.:08:51.

I think that's a hypothetical question

:08:52.:08:59.

Let's get the 24th and see what happens then.

:09:00.:09:03.

Labour's now huge new membership will judge if he is a priority

:09:04.:09:09.

The day after Channel Four announced it had bought

:09:10.:09:17.

the rights to the BBC series - The Great British Bake Off -

:09:18.:09:21.

The day after Channel Four announced it had bought

:09:22.:09:23.

the programme's presenters announced they would not be carrying

:09:24.:09:25.

Sue Perkins and Mel Giedroyc said they were saddened the programme

:09:26.:09:29.

would be moving from its home, and they wouldn't be

:09:30.:09:31.

The BBC says it was unable to afford the sum being demanded

:09:32.:09:35.

by the production company - as David Sillito explains.

:09:36.:09:38.

Three weeks in, 12 bakers down to ten, they are on a roll, as are we.

:09:39.:09:42.

The presenters of Britain's biggest show.

:09:43.:09:45.

Following a decision to move to Channel 4,

:09:46.:09:53.

they issued a statement saying - we were very shocked and saddened

:09:54.:09:56.

to learn yesterday evening that Bake Off will be moving

:09:57.:09:59.

This is a ?75 million transfer deal but did not automatically come with

:10:00.:10:32.

the team. After years of running productions at ITV, one boss thinks

:10:33.:10:36.

it is good enough. This is very strong. I think it will be a tough

:10:37.:10:40.

call Mary Berry and Paul Hollywood don't do the show. But if there are

:10:41.:10:46.

new presenters, it is the same show, it is baking, things rise, things

:10:47.:10:51.

fall. But there is another issue about this deal. Yes, the BBC was

:10:52.:11:00.

outbid by ?10 million from a commercial rival. It is business

:11:01.:11:04.

after all. But there is a question about this rival being Channel 4.

:11:05.:11:06.

This government-owned TV business is in a fight, trying to fend off

:11:07.:11:10.

privatisation by saying its reputation for innovation and trying

:11:11.:11:17.

out new formats could be lost. So how does this deal fitting?

:11:18.:11:26.

They have spent two years arguing against privatisation and they have

:11:27.:11:28.

now behaved precisely like a fully privatised company.

:11:29.:11:33.

This seems to be against their idea to cater for different tastes and

:11:34.:11:42.

remix. I think it is a shocking decision from Channel 4.

:11:43.:11:44.

In response, Channel 4 said its public service programming

:11:45.:11:47.

This is Italian Bake off. This is the German one. And both will

:11:48.:12:01.

continue to be made by the BBC. But they don't own the format or the

:12:02.:12:08.

intellectual property. Independent producers own their own intellectual

:12:09.:12:12.

property. That has made it invested all and turned it into a global

:12:13.:12:16.

leader. There is no question that British production is a global

:12:17.:12:19.

leader, so alter the good. The problem is, when it comes to the

:12:20.:12:24.

contract, the BBC do not own it. We don't know the winner yet but the

:12:25.:12:31.

Bake-Off tent has been packed away in the past, the channels had all

:12:32.:12:34.

the power but increasingly they are just customers.

:12:35.:12:44.

The World Anti-Doping Agency said tonight that confidential data

:12:45.:12:46.

relating to the Rio Olympics had been stolen by Russian hackers,

:12:47.:12:49.

including records for Serena and Venus Williams and the US

:12:50.:12:51.

The Kremlin has denied any involvement.

:12:52.:12:54.

Our sports correspondent Natalie Pirks joins me now.

:12:55.:12:55.

Let's talk about what has been accessed and possibly why. The

:12:56.:13:06.

hackers call themselves fancy bears. They have hacked into the system

:13:07.:13:09.

where athletes can tell drug testers where they are going to be and they

:13:10.:13:13.

have leaked confidential medical data online. They are essentially

:13:14.:13:19.

alleging Wada knew that athletes were taking banned substances this

:13:20.:13:23.

summer. In the case of Simone Biles, who won four gold medals, it was a

:13:24.:13:32.

drug used to treat ADHD. The substances mentioned in the leaks

:13:33.:13:36.

had therapeutic use exemption is which means they were allowed to use

:13:37.:13:41.

them for a specific medical reason. She has tweeted tonight that taking

:13:42.:13:45.

medication for her condition is nothing to be ashamed of, but the US

:13:46.:13:51.

anti-doping agency has blasted the hacks as cowardly and despicable.

:13:52.:13:55.

The link will be made to the macro Aaron report which led to more than

:13:56.:14:02.

100 Russian athletes being exempted in the summer -- the McLaren report.

:14:03.:14:08.

The hackers have said there are more revelations to come and it will be

:14:09.:14:12.

about other nations and that could be about Team GB. Thank you.

:14:13.:14:17.

The chair of the BBC Trust, Rona Fairhead, is to step

:14:18.:14:20.

She was meant to stay on to chair the new BBC Board but she's now been

:14:21.:14:25.

told by the Prime Minister that she would have

:14:26.:14:27.

She said in a statement that she'd decided not to re-enter the process.

:14:28.:14:32.

HMRC says it won't extend its existing contract with Concentrix,

:14:33.:14:34.

a company it employs to check entitlement to tax credits,

:14:35.:14:40.

after the BBC learned that hundreds of low-income families complained

:14:41.:14:42.

that their tax credits had been cut in error.

:14:43.:14:44.

Police investigating a racially aggravated assault have released

:14:45.:14:52.

a CCTV image of a man they would like to question.

:14:53.:14:55.

A pregnant woman lost her baby as a result of the attack,

:14:56.:14:58.

which happened last August in Bletchley in Buckinghamshire.

:14:59.:15:00.

Another person suffered head injuries.

:15:01.:15:06.

The Scottish nurse, Pauline Cafferkey, who contracted

:15:07.:15:07.

Ebola in West Africa in 2014, will not face charges of dishonesty

:15:08.:15:10.

The panel has agreed to drop a charge that she acted dishonestly

:15:11.:15:18.

when her temperature was recorded during screening

:15:19.:15:20.

Hillary Clinton, the Democratic candidate for the US presidency,

:15:21.:15:27.

has faced extensive criticism, even from some supporters,

:15:28.:15:29.

for failing to be more open about her pneumonia.

:15:30.:15:31.

She was apparently concerned that news of the illness would be

:15:32.:15:35.

exploited by her political opponents.

:15:36.:15:37.

But her supporters also claim she faces a far higher level

:15:38.:15:40.

of scrutiny than her Republican rival Donald Trump.

:15:41.:15:44.

Our North America editor Jon Sopel has been comparing

:15:45.:15:47.

From the word go this has been an election unlike any other.

:15:48.:15:56.

The outsider versus the insider, man versus woman, the insurgent

:15:57.:15:58.

against the establishment, the consummate politician up

:15:59.:16:01.

against the billionaire TV reality star.

:16:02.:16:05.

And it's resulted in very different treatment of the two candidates.

:16:06.:16:10.

Hillary Clinton is seen as furtive and secretive, whilst Donald Trump

:16:11.:16:14.

is perceived as open, candid with nothing to hide.

:16:15.:16:19.

And yet Hillary Clinton has revealed much more.

:16:20.:16:22.

This is her most recent tax return, all 40 pages of it.

:16:23.:16:26.

Donald Trump has refused to release his.

:16:27.:16:30.

This is Hillary Clinton's letter from her doctor

:16:31.:16:31.

going into the detail about her recent mammogram

:16:32.:16:34.

and her blood pressure, respiratory rate while Donald Trump's doctor

:16:35.:16:37.

issued four brief paragraphs with the title -

:16:38.:16:48.

So why the differing levels of scrutiny?

:16:49.:16:51.

These people write for the Washington Post,

:16:52.:16:53.

The coverage of the two of them has certainly been different.

:16:54.:17:00.

Part of the reason for that is because Hillary Clinton has been

:17:01.:17:03.

in the public eye for the best part of a quarter of a century.

:17:04.:17:06.

Donald Trump has been in the public eye but in a much different way.

:17:07.:17:11.

He's basically been an entertainer, a TV host, kind of this mythical

:17:12.:17:13.

I do think that you hear certain words used in descriptions

:17:14.:17:17.

of Clinton that you don't hear in descriptions of Trump

:17:18.:17:19.

In particular allegations that she is shrill, bossy,

:17:20.:17:26.

perhaps overbearing, that she is manipulative.

:17:27.:17:29.

And Aaron says there is only so much journalists can do

:17:30.:17:31.

The media has been very tough on Donald Trump.

:17:32.:17:38.

They've looked at the controversial false things he said and many people

:17:39.:17:43.

in this country just decided that does not when it

:17:44.:17:47.

A large section of the American public loves that Donald Trump isn't

:17:48.:17:57.

a conventional politician and don't expected to behave like

:17:58.:18:02.

one but they may both be applying for the same job but they're

:18:03.:18:06.

running entirely different campaigns and being held

:18:07.:18:07.

The ceasefire in Syria, which started yesterday seems to be

:18:08.:18:11.

holding in most areas and the UN says it's now vital that food

:18:12.:18:14.

and medical supplies are allowed in, especially to the long-suffering

:18:15.:18:16.

The seven-day truce is meant to stop the fighting between Syrian

:18:17.:18:20.

government forces and wide range of opposition groups.

:18:21.:18:23.

If the truce holds for a week then the US and Russia will carry out air

:18:24.:18:27.

strikes on militant groups including so-called Islamic State.

:18:28.:18:30.

So far in this conflict, more than 300,000 deaths

:18:31.:18:32.

The actual figure is thought to be much higher.

:18:33.:18:37.

One of the worst-hit areas is the city of Aleppo - divided

:18:38.:18:41.

between the rebel-controlled east - and government-held west.

:18:42.:18:45.

Our Middle East editor Jeremy Bowen is there and he sent

:18:46.:18:47.

no one is taking down the sandbanks. The war spread to Aleppo in 2012 in

:18:48.:19:04.

a divided, destroyed city, after thousands of deaths, with hundreds

:19:05.:19:08.

of thousands of lost homes, no wonder they are still sceptical a

:19:09.:19:14.

few hours into a ceasefire. This is the west side of Aleppo controlled

:19:15.:19:17.

by the government. Many more have died on the east side but the pain

:19:18.:19:21.

of death crosses the battle lines, not much else unite the country that

:19:22.:19:30.

the war has left in fragments. A soldier showed me a shell improvised

:19:31.:19:37.

by rebels. He said they pack empty cooking gas bottles with explosives,

:19:38.:19:42.

weld on a tail and fire them from home-made mortars. This is Seaforth.

:19:43.:19:57.

It is an explosive. -- C4. You hear a lot of that. Many of that.

:19:58.:20:07.

Hundreds and thousands of explosions? Very much, very much. It

:20:08.:20:14.

was a small violation of the ceasefire but this man is haunted by

:20:15.:20:18.

years of shelling. And by his grandchildren 's fears. He calls

:20:19.:20:23.

rebels terrorists for CP lost Knight and his son, a leg, to a gas bottle

:20:24.:20:33.

attack. Murder. Killers. They killed the children. And the women. We

:20:34.:20:49.

don't know. Syria. Syria. One day the war will end. Peace will start

:20:50.:20:58.

with a ceasefire. This priest, Christian, hopes that day has come.

:20:59.:21:04.

Rebels destroyed his church. Many Syrian Christians support the

:21:05.:21:08.

regime. The father believes only negotiation will end the war. He

:21:09.:21:13.

backs the ceasefire and believes pouring more weapons into the Middle

:21:14.:21:22.

East leads to disaster. TRANSLATION: From this church, I

:21:23.:21:25.

call on all the countries of the world to stop the arms trade. The

:21:26.:21:30.

money spent on weapons could feed many people and build a civilisation

:21:31.:21:35.

of peace. On the east side of Aleppo which is controlled by rebels, the

:21:36.:21:38.

cemeteries are overflowing. They faced much greater firepower than

:21:39.:21:42.

the West. Air strikes including barrel bombs and more recently the

:21:43.:21:47.

power of the Russian tanks. The ceasefire coincide with one of the

:21:48.:21:54.

biggest Muslim days of the year. And despite widespread doubts, the

:21:55.:21:57.

ceasefire would last, parents here, like those near the front in the

:21:58.:22:04.

West, took a chance. TRANSLATION: I took my kids to the

:22:05.:22:08.

swings today. It was a risk because I don't believe in the ceasefire at

:22:09.:22:13.

all. I don't trust the regime. It's always breaking the promises. The

:22:14.:22:19.

kids should have fun. I couldn't cross into East Aleppo. But this was

:22:20.:22:24.

close to the front line in the old city, a tangle of medieval alleys

:22:25.:22:27.

which used to be the greatest market. Aleppo 's old city was an

:22:28.:22:34.

extraordinary human creation. Now it is empty and dead. The destruction

:22:35.:22:44.

here is tragic and does not match the loss of perhaps 400,000 human

:22:45.:22:50.

lives. Let's assume the ceasefire lasts. First of all for a week and

:22:51.:22:56.

then perhaps for a bit longer. The question is what can be built upon

rearm, regroup and get ready for the next round? Jeremy BBC News, Aleppo.

:23:18.:23:22.

Next month the Iraqi army could begin its operation

:23:23.:23:28.

In 2014, IS overran Mosul - Iraq's second-largest city -

:23:29.:23:32.

and went on to take control of a third of Iraq as well as

:23:33.:23:35.

Since then, IS has lost much of the territory it once held

:23:36.:23:43.

and Iraq's prime minister has pledged to retake Mosul by the end

:23:44.:23:45.

The Iraqi army's most recent victory was taking back

:23:46.:23:51.

the town of Qayarra, some 60 kilometres

:23:52.:23:52.

From there, Orla Guerin sent this report.

:23:53.:23:59.

A parting gift from the so-called Islamic State.

:24:00.:24:04.

Oil wells set ablaze, covering their retreat

:24:05.:24:06.

Defeating IS will mean a lot more scorched earth.

:24:07.:24:22.

By the roadside, remnants of their rule.

:24:23.:24:26.

The Iraqi troops who drove them from here still jittery.

:24:27.:24:31.

Our journey was suddenly halted when a home-made bomb

:24:32.:24:33.

Clearing the strategic town is a key victory in the push towards Mosul.

:24:34.:24:52.

Troops are closing in, step-by-step, with help from US

:24:53.:24:54.

And what happened under the dark reign of IS is now being uncovered.

:24:55.:25:09.

We were given a tour of one of their jails.

:25:10.:25:11.

The tiny space the prisoners were kept in.

:25:12.:25:13.

Locals said up to four men could be crammed

:25:14.:25:16.

They were even handcuffed to the doors.

:25:17.:25:24.

Here, some of their names and their crimes.

:25:25.:25:26.

For this tribal commander, the fight here is very personal

:25:27.:25:42.

His village in the distance, still under IS control.

:25:43.:25:51.

I have not seen her for more than two years.

:25:52.:25:58.

My brothers are also there, in front of me, and I can't

:25:59.:26:03.

reach them, but we hope to retake the village soon.

:26:04.:26:08.

Then we get access to a hidden lair, built by the extremists

:26:09.:26:11.

Here deep in the hillside, Islamic State carved out

:26:12.:26:20.

This was a place where they could hide, where they could take cover

:26:21.:26:26.

It is pretty basic but we have found some food supplies that they left

:26:27.:26:31.

And they did have some creature comforts.

:26:32.:26:38.

There was electricity connected here.

:26:39.:26:41.

They were driven out of this town in just two days,

:26:42.:26:45.

but the decisive battle is yet to come, the offensive for Mosul.

:26:46.:26:51.

Many have fled, even before it begins.

:26:52.:26:55.

Makeshift camps in Kurdish territory are already overflowing.

:26:56.:26:57.

Here they are free of IS but still prisoners of memory.

TRANSLATION: He was escaping so they cut his head off.

:27:07.:27:17.

They brought another five people, also dead.

:27:18.:27:22.

Locals took the bodies and buried them.

:27:23.:27:28.

In the coming weeks and months, the desperation here may grow,

:27:29.:27:31.

The UN is warning that up to one million people could flee Mosul.

:27:32.:27:39.

A fresh catastrophe in this broken country.

The men were arrested in a series of pre-dawn raids

:28:02.:28:03.

Investigators believe the men had volunteered to travel
