Tonight at Ten - the truce in Syria will be extended to try to get food

:00:00.:00:08.

We report from Aleppo where medical supplies are urgently needed

:00:09.:00:13.

for those injured before the ceasefire started.

:00:14.:00:18.

We see the devastation in areas once controlled by rebel forces before

:00:19.:00:21.

Rebels, the army's telling me, held

:00:22.:00:28.

And then in what was a huge display of firepower,

:00:29.:00:33.

We'll have the latest from Jeremy Bowen who's spent

:00:34.:00:41.

Pauline Cafferkey, the Scottish nurse who contracted Ebola

:00:42.:00:46.

while working in Africa, has been cleared of misconduct charges.

:00:47.:00:51.

Pauline was motivated by a genuine

:00:52.:00:53.

desire to help other people, even if this meant putting her own

:00:54.:00:56.

She would never have knowingly put anyone a danger.

:00:57.:01:07.

The President of the European Commission says the best response

:01:08.:01:10.

to the Brexit vote is for the EU to press for greater integration.

:01:11.:01:14.

I have it right here, should I do it? I don't care.

:01:15.:01:19.

Donald Trump said he was happy to share his medical records

:01:20.:01:21.

but the precise data seemed to be missing.

:01:35.:01:35.

The Americans and Russians have agreed to extend the truce in Syria

:01:36.:02:03.

by 48 hours to try to speed up the delivery of much-needed aid.

:02:04.:02:07.

The ceasefire has held for a third day and monitors say no civilians

:02:08.:02:11.

Food and medical aid is urgently needed in the city of Aleppo

:02:12.:02:16.

where people have been under siege for many months, living

:02:17.:02:19.

The western part of Aleppo is held by Syrian government forces,

:02:20.:02:25.

while the eastern half is held by rebel forces.

:02:26.:02:28.

Our Middle East editor Jeremy Bowen has sent this report.

:02:29.:02:37.

This is a tier was leaving hospital for his new life. It will be without

:02:38.:02:49.

his arm and without is four cousins, killed when he was wounded.

:02:50.:02:56.

He lives in government-held territory. The attack happened a

:02:57.:03:04.

week ago, before the ceasefire. But geography, politics and timing can't

:03:05.:03:09.

matter much to a bewildered and agonised eight-year-old boy.

:03:10.:03:17.

The University Hospital is in West Aleppo, controlled by the

:03:18.:03:23.

government. It is better supplied than anywhere on the rebel held east

:03:24.:03:26.

side, and has treated thousands of war wounded.

:03:27.:03:32.

This seven-year-old was not sleeping peacefully. She was shot in her

:03:33.:03:37.

spine last night, 24 hours after the ceasefire began. This is the

:03:38.:03:45.

vertebrae... The bullet is? Through the vertebrae. It is a clear break

:03:46.:03:52.

in the vertebrae. She is paralysed? Year. Her mother is too worried

:03:53.:03:56.

about the wreck of her daughter's life to speculate about to pull the

:03:57.:04:03.

trigger. TRANSLATION: The doctors told me that her legs would be

:04:04.:04:09.

paralysed all her life. She was very active, very loving and very caring.

:04:10.:04:15.

She was chatting with her father when it happened, sitting with him

:04:16.:04:19.

nothing is wrong. We don't know what will to her.

:04:20.:04:26.

Aid for the wounded across the city could come this way, through North

:04:27.:04:31.

West Aleppo on the Castello Road, the route to Turkey. It is

:04:32.:04:37.

designated as a humanitarian carrot or in the ceasefire agreement but it

:04:38.:04:42.

is still not safe. -- humanitarian corridor. The fighting has not

:04:43.:04:46.

stopped. The plan, the Russians say, is for

:04:47.:04:50.

both the Syrian army and the rebels to pull back from the Castello Road

:04:51.:04:56.

on Thursday morning. The ceasefire deal also depends on

:04:57.:05:01.

the rebels. This attack in June was by a group backed by the Americans.

:05:02.:05:11.

It says it is respecting the ceasefire. But in escape into view

:05:12.:05:18.

across the front line to east Aleppo, its spokesman told me they

:05:19.:05:21.

were not happy with the deal that they say let the regime off the

:05:22.:05:30.

hook. What will end this war? TRANSLATION: The war will end when

:05:31.:05:35.

we achieve that dream is the people, freedom and justice. When the Assad

:05:36.:05:40.

regime falls and we banish the criminals who killed children and

:05:41.:05:49.

women in the last six years. The men of this displaced family

:05:50.:05:56.

call the rebels terrorists. In the sixth year of war, the best refuge

:05:57.:06:00.

they can find is a flat on the front line with no power or running water.

:06:01.:06:05.

After some especially heavy shelling, the side of the building

:06:06.:06:10.

collapsed, taking away a room. The family survived, they stayed on. You

:06:11.:06:16.

can see, he said, the whole country is destroyed.

:06:17.:06:22.

Syria is the most savage example of the way that the old political order

:06:23.:06:26.

across the Middle East is decaying. World and regional powers and

:06:27.:06:33.

powerful ideologies are competing to shape the future. Syrians sometimes

:06:34.:06:35.

say that if the foreigners went away they might be able to make peace. If

:06:36.:06:41.

that was ever true, it is too later. The Middle East is in a period of

:06:42.:06:46.

post-dash-macro profound historical change, the result of a century of

:06:47.:06:50.

misrule, disastrous foreign intervention, stagnation and

:06:51.:06:56.

oppression. This war is part of all of that, no longer it is so hard to

:06:57.:07:04.

stop. That was Jeremy earlier today. We can join him live now. Let's have

:07:05.:07:08.

your assessment of the state of the ceasefire now?

:07:09.:07:13.

There is no doubt that there have been violations, as you saw in my

:07:14.:07:18.

report, people in hospital getting treated, who have been killed as

:07:19.:07:22.

well, since the ceasefire came in. But there is also no doubt that the

:07:23.:07:27.

overall level of warfare, the level of casualties, has gone down. What

:07:28.:07:33.

can be read into this for the future of Syria? It is very, very early,

:07:34.:07:39.

too early, really. If this week added to next it can be calm, the

:07:40.:07:48.

Syrian air force will be partially granted, there will be restrictions

:07:49.:07:52.

on where it can bomb, and as well as that, humanitarian aid will move,

:07:53.:07:57.

and the idea is, after that, that the Americans and Russians will get

:07:58.:08:01.

together and mount attacks on jihadists. Now, if you look at the

:08:02.:08:06.

kinds of things that come out of both sides here, you saw in my

:08:07.:08:09.

report those words coming from the spokesman from a rebel group, saying

:08:10.:08:14.

that, essentially, they will not rest until the Assad regime has

:08:15.:08:19.

gone, then a couple of days ago in Damascus President Assad said he

:08:20.:08:22.

would not rest until they have got back all the territory that the

:08:23.:08:27.

people he called terrorists have taken. Puts together, that rhetoric,

:08:28.:08:31.

that makes me think that there is quite a bit of fighting left to do

:08:32.:08:37.

in this war. Jeremy, once again, thank you very much, our Middle East

:08:38.:08:39.

editor in Aleppo. Pauline Cafferkey, the nurse

:08:40.:08:41.

who contracted Ebola after working in West Africa,

:08:42.:08:42.

has been cleared of misconduct by She'd been accused of allowing her

:08:43.:08:45.

temperature to be inaccurately recorded during a screening process

:08:46.:08:48.

at Heathrow Airport. The hearing in Edinburgh recognised

:08:49.:08:52.

that her judgment was impaired because she was in the early

:08:53.:08:55.

stages of the disease, as our Scotland correspondent

:08:56.:08:58.

Lorna Gordon reports. since Pauline Cafferkey caught Ebola

:08:59.:09:06.

and almost died from it. For much of the time since,

:09:07.:09:10.

she's been fighting to recover from ill health, and fighting

:09:11.:09:13.

to clear her name. Today, relief that the disciplinary

:09:14.:09:15.

process has finally come to an end. Now it is clear Pauline

:09:16.:09:20.

was motivated by a genuine desire to help other people,

even if this meant putting The NMC disciplinary process

has been very upsetting However, she's delighted

that the panel has made the decision It had been claimed that

or from the body governing nursing, who argued they had no alternative

but to bring charges against Ms Cafferkey once

a complaint had been made. Our job is to protect

:10:21.:10:23.

the public and maintain This was a highly unusual

:10:24.:10:25.

set of circumstances, and it was incumbent upon us to do

:10:26.:10:30.

a proper investigation and allow the panel

:10:31.:10:34.

to decide the best outcome. Pauline Cafferkey was treated

:10:35.:10:38.

in isolation three times and nearly died twice from a disease she got

:10:39.:10:41.

while trying to help others. And she has talked of

the additional anguish caused Speaking after her first

thyroid problems. That's the thing, you just don't

:10:59.:11:03.

know, long-term-wise, either. One man amongst her former patients

:11:04.:11:07.

in Sierra Leone says he's grateful for everything Pauline Cafferkey

:11:08.:11:10.

did to save his life. And we listened to her

and her colleagues, If she'd been found guilty,

Pauline Cafferkey could have been struck off, but with her reputation

:11:34.:11:36.

of the European Commission has urged the member states

:11:37.:11:44.

of the European Union to stop bickering and to fight back

:11:45.:11:47.

against what he called rising Mr Juncker was addressing members

without accepting Our Europe editor Katya

Adler has more details. Is this the man who can save the EU?

:12:02.:12:17.

His annual State of the union speeches designed to be visionary,

:12:18.:12:22.

full of goals and ideals. But this year the EU aim is survival. With

:12:23.:12:31.

nationalist minded Eurosceptic parties gaining influence across

:12:32.:12:34.

Europe, with the migrant and the Euro crisis, Mr Junker said the EU

:12:35.:12:40.

project was in mortal danger. The EU vote to leave is probably the

:12:41.:12:45.

biggest body blow yet. But Brexit was given little mention today by Mr

:12:46.:12:50.

Junco, his intended message, we'll be fine without you. The European

:12:51.:12:54.

Parliament's Brexit negotiator put this point even more forcefully.

:12:55.:13:02.

Stop the politics of this is -- division, and seize this opportunity

:13:03.:13:07.

not to kill Europe, as some of you want, but to reinvent Europe. Thank

you. And more jibes that the UK when the European Commission president

:13:13.:13:16.

talked about core EU values, he mentioned alleged hate crimes in

:13:17.:13:21.

Britain. Europeans can never accept, never, Polish workers being

:13:22.:13:26.

harassed, beaten, beaten up or even murdered in the streets of Essex.

:13:27.:13:35.

And, in trade terms, he warned... Britain could forget having good

:13:36.:13:39.

access to the European single market, post Brexit, if it limited

:13:40.:13:43.

the rights of EU citizens to apply for EU jobs. Cue Nigel Farage, the

:13:44.:13:51.

two man famous here for their testy relationship. If you stick to the

:13:52.:13:58.

dogma of saying that for terror free access, reciprocal tariff free

:13:59.:14:02.

access with the single market, we must maintain the single market of

:14:03.:14:06.

people, then you will inevitably drive is towards no deal.

:14:07.:14:10.

Jean-Claude Junker's state of the union speech was supposed to mark

:14:11.:14:16.

new invigorated EU beginnings. But instead it highlighted the biggest

:14:17.:14:20.

headaches in the EU. No start date and a lack of clarity surrounding

:14:21.:14:28.

Brexit on one hand, and a real fear that the voters out there across

:14:29.:14:33.

Europe no longer trust or believe in the EU. But, perhaps, that is part

:14:34.:14:37.

of a bigger process. The problem is the loss of trust of

:14:38.:14:42.

ordinary citizens. How'd you change it? Ordinary citizens, working hard

:14:43.:14:47.

and playing by the rules, don't feel respected, not only by the European

:14:48.:14:52.

Union. Look worldwide. Look to the election campaign in the United

:14:53.:14:57.

States. Brussels bureaucrats, bankers,

:14:58.:15:00.

politicians from traditional political parties, growing number of

:15:01.:15:04.

voters distrust what they see as a self-serving elite. The EU needs

:15:05.:15:09.

reform to appear more relevant, but there is little agreement in these

:15:10.:15:14.

corridors as to how. Katya Adler, BBC News, the European Parliament in

Strasbourg. A brief look at some

:15:16.:15:17.

of the day's other news stories. Unemployment has continued

:15:18.:15:20.

to fall and a record number of people are in work,

:15:21.:15:22.

according to the latest figures. Between May and July,

:15:23.:15:24.

unemployment fell by almost 40,000. The figures are the first

thanks very much. David Cameron's decision to approve

military intervention in Libya, in 2011, has been sharply criticised

:17:36.:17:38.

by a parliamentary committee. The Foreign Affairs Select Committee

:17:39.:17:40.

accused him of pursuing an "opportunist policy of regime

:17:41.:17:42.

change" to remove Colonel Gaddafi and it said the lack of a coherent

:17:43.:17:44.

strategy had left Libya in chaos, allowing the growth

:17:45.:17:48.

of so-called Islamic State. Our diplomatic correspondent,

:17:49.:17:49.

James Landale, has been Libya is an unstable country,

:17:50.:17:51.

a place where militias compete for power, where the Islamic State

:17:52.:18:00.

group has a foothold, where migrants pour across unprotected borders

:18:01.:18:03.

en route for the sea. A chaotic picture which MPs say

:18:04.:18:05.

is the result of David Cameron's decision, five years ago,

:18:06.:18:08.

to send in warplanes to support We were not prepared

:18:09.:18:10.

for the consequences of a regime change in Libya and all the analysis

:18:11.:18:18.

being done here was based on, frankly, a pretty limited

:18:19.:18:22.

understanding of exactly The aim of the invention

:18:23.:18:24.

in March 2011 was to protect the people living in Benghazi,

:18:25.:18:29.

threatened by Gaddafi's forces. But the Foreign Affairs Committee

:18:30.:18:34.

says the threat to civilians was overstated by

:18:35.:18:37.

inaccurate intelligence. Now over the summer,

:18:38.:18:42.

as fighting continued, the aim of the operation changed

:18:43.:18:44.

from protecting civilians, to getting rid of Gaddafi

:18:45.:18:52.

and the committee said this was "an opportunist policy of regime

:18:53.:18:54.

change that was not underpinned by a strategy to support

:18:55.:18:57.

Libya afterwards." In particular, the MPs say more

:18:58.:18:59.

should have been done to use Tony Blair's contacts to see

:19:00.:19:02.

if a political deal was possible, a collusion that one former rebel

:19:03.:19:05.

leader rejects out of hand. I believe if it was not done,

:19:06.:19:11.

Libya would have been much worse The situation in Libya would have

:19:12.:19:24.

been something like Syria In September 2011, after Gaddafi's

:19:25.:19:27.

regime had fallen, Mr Cameron and the then French President

:19:28.:19:32.

visited Libya and told the people Your friends in Britain

:19:33.:19:34.

and in France will stand with you as you build your

:19:35.:19:41.

democracy and build your And yet, the Foreign Affairs

:19:42.:19:43.

Committee says that this did not happen and David Cameron

:19:44.:19:53.

was ultimately responsible for the failure to develop

:19:54.:19:56.

a coherent Libya strategy. But diplomats and ministers involved

:19:57.:19:58.

in the decision to intervene said it was backed by MPs

:19:59.:20:01.

and the United Nations, it was responding to a real threat

:20:02.:20:05.

and it wasn't clear that leaving Gaddafi in place would have

:20:06.:20:09.

ensured a better outcome. In Iraq we went in with

:20:10.:20:14.

major forces, it didn't In Syria, we chose

:20:15.:20:17.

not to get involved. In Libya, we went in a limited,

:20:18.:20:20.

targeted way, in support Yes, the situation is bad,

:20:21.:20:23.

but I wouldn't rule out at all that in five years the various parties

:20:24.:20:28.

will have got together and begun But the situation on the ground

:20:29.:20:31.

makes such optimism rare. In Libya, politics still comes

At the Paralympic Games in Rio, Great Britain has exceeded

:23:30.:23:31.

the number of golds it won at London 2012, and there are still four days

:23:32.:23:35.

Today there was success on the athletics track,

in the equestrian arena and on the road, where

:23:39.:23:39.

Great Britain still second with 42 golds, ahead

:23:40.:23:47.

Our sports correspondent, Andy Swiss, has the latest

It was a day when Britain raced past yet another milestone. Km Dame Zaire

More cycling golds in the athletics Cox hurtled into history.

:24:16.:24:19.

COMMENTATOR: A new world record. She had won a gold here in cycling. She

:24:20.:24:24.

is the first Briton to win two titles in two sports at the same

:24:25.:24:29.

Games for more than 30 years. The winning ways continued with Wells in

the dressage. After beating London's golden tally for the entire team it

:24:36.:24:40.

was a day to celebrate. No-one was more disappointed than the athletes

:24:41.:24:44.

themselves with winning 34 gold medals in London. We thought it was

:24:45.:24:49.

an under performance. Our athletes performed fantastically here in Rio.

:24:50.:24:54.

50% of our medals have been golds. It's been a sensational games for

the performance there in Rio. Andy Swiss.

:26:25.:26:32.

Thousands of young people in England are being set up to fail

:26:33.:26:35.

because councils aren't preparing them for life after care.

:26:36.:26:37.

That's the warning from the Children's Society,

:26:38.:26:39.

which says many vulnerable teenagers end up homeless and in debt

:26:40.:26:42.

once they leave the care system at the age of 18.

:26:43.:26:44.

Between 2013 and 2015, more than 3,000 care

:26:45.:26:46.

leavers had their benefits stopped or reduced.

:26:47.:26:48.

They're also three times more likely to lose benefits or have them cut

:26:49.:26:51.

Our correspondent, Jeremy Cooke, reports on the plight of so many

:26:52.:26:56.

Leaving home and stepping out into the world today can be tough

:26:57.:27:03.

for any young adult, but for teenagers who've been

:27:04.:27:06.

in care it can trigger a dissent into chaos.

:27:07.:27:16.

I've been homeless, basically, since I've left care.

:27:17.:27:18.

You have to fend for yourself, basically, and it's really hard.

:27:19.:27:22.

For people like Michael, a child of the care system,

:27:23.:27:24.

a young man already with a history of homelessness,

:27:25.:27:27.

I just felt like that was me, brush him out of the way,

:27:28.:27:37.

I don't really have friends, I'm always on my own.

:27:38.:27:45.

At the Lifeshare charity they're doing all they can to help Michael

:27:46.:27:51.

Young people who leave care are supposed to get council support,

:27:52.:27:57.

but here they know that that system is struggling.

:27:58.:28:07.

So young people can get very frustrated because they're ringing

:28:08.:28:10.

up to speak to the leaving careworkers but, unfortunately,

:28:11.:28:12.

the leaving careworker might have 35 other young people on their books

:28:13.:28:15.

so hasn't got that time to give that, perhaps,

:28:16.:28:17.

emotional support that that young person is desperately needing.

:28:18.:28:19.

# And they say being in care is like the dumping

:28:20.:28:25.

Callum has been out of care for two years.

:28:26.:28:31.

# I started off at zero, but look at me now...#.

:28:32.:28:34.

Now, he's got his music, his girlfriend and his daughter.

:28:35.:28:36.

The Children's Society say care leavers are three times more likely

:28:37.:28:39.

to have their benefits stopped or sanctioned than other people

:28:40.:28:41.

of the same age, Callum was one of them.

:28:42.:28:44.

When my girlfriend was pregnant, we got sanctioned.

:28:45.:28:48.

Some nights I, literally, used to sit there and make sure

:28:49.:28:51.

she has a meal, even if I didn't eat because I know she needed it more

:28:52.:28:55.

than me because she's not only feeding herself, she's

:28:56.:28:57.

Parents these days know that kids need support well after the age

:28:58.:29:01.

of 18, but for those coming out of care there is no mum or dad

:29:02.:29:09.

to help with those basic life skills, like using a washing

:29:10.:29:13.

machine, preparing a meal or managing their money.

:29:14.:29:15.

They're being set up to fail and the local authorities need to be

:29:16.:29:18.

doing more to support them when they do leave care,

:29:19.:29:20.

The Government is promising to help care leavers entering

:29:21.:29:26.

society with training costs and apprenticeships.

:29:27.:29:31.

They will be exempt from housing benefit cuts and local authorities

:29:32.:29:33.

will be asked to offer them a personal adviser until they're 25.

:29:34.:29:36.

Young people go in to care because they sometimes have led very

:29:37.:29:43.

damaged lives and so often need a lot of support.

:29:44.:29:45.

Councils have a difficult job in this area, it's made a lot harder

:29:46.:29:49.

by the enormous scale of Government funding cuts to councils

:29:50.:29:51.

which are really stretching many services to the limit.

:29:52.:29:53.

For those on the streets, help can't come soon enough.

:29:54.:29:57.

What I hope for the future is that I can better myself and just move

:29:58.:30:00.

For now though, Michael still doesn't know where

:30:01.:30:04.

Football, and following their historic Premier League title win,

:30:05.:30:18.

Leicester City were taking part in the Champions League

:30:19.:30:21.

Their Belgian opponents, Club Brugge, were warned

:30:22.:30:24.

by their manager not to underestimate their opposition

:30:25.:30:27.

but, as Joe Wilson reports, Leicester put

:30:28.:30:29.

Well, the plan the authorities had was to escort the Leicester fans

:30:30.:30:50.

with tickets from here, the town centre, down to the ground.

:30:51.:30:58.

The only thing is, only about 1,400 of these lucky ones had tickets,

:30:59.:31:02.

There were Leicester players like captain Wes Morgan who'd barely

:31:03.:31:06.

Of course, it would take time for the Champions League

:31:07.:31:10.

COMMENTATOR: Straightaway, Leicester City...

:31:11.:31:20.

A goal for Marc Albrighton, a player signed by Leicester

:31:21.:31:23.

Now defenders may not have seen him before in Belgium,

:31:24.:31:26.

but that player hurtling by you is Jamie Vardy.

:31:27.:31:28.

Free-kicks are only valuable if someone takes them properly.

:31:29.:31:32.

OK, so by the second-half, Brugge knew about Jamie Vardy,

:31:33.:31:40.

Penalty, not quite so far from Mahrez this time.

:31:41.:31:52.

Well, Kasper Schmeichel was beaten in the Leicester

:31:53.:31:54.

goal in the second-half, but there was the post.

:31:55.:31:56.

Leicester rested, early night for Vardy, job done,

:31:57.:31:58.

Sure there are better teams than Brugge in Europe,

:31:59.:32:01.

but Leicester played here, well, like champions.

:32:02.:32:06.

The one thing that might aggrieve Leicester fans without a ticket are

:32:07.:32:14.

the empty seats not taken by home supporters. 85,000 at Wembley, Spurs

:32:15.:32:23.

lost 2-1 to Monaco. Manchester City won by 4-0. Midnight approaches here

:32:24.:32:27.

in Brugge. In short, never been a better time to be a Leicester City

:32:28.:32:34.

fan. Indeed, Joe. Joe Wilson there for us with the latest in Brugge.
