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. | |

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, | :09:21. | :09:23. | |
even if this meant putting The NMC disciplinary process | :09:24. | :09:25. | |
has been very upsetting However, she's delighted | :09:26. | :09:29. | |
that the panel has made the decision It had been claimed that | :09:30. | :09:34. | |
Miss Cafferkey, who was returning from volunteering in West Africa, | :09:35. | :09:40. | |
potentially put the public at risk when she allowed an incorrect | :09:41. | :09:42. | |
temperature to be recorded during A screening process demonstrated | :09:43. | :09:45. | |
here, which was described It was run by Public Health England, | :09:46. | :09:50. | |
the organisation which complained about the Scottish | :09:51. | :09:55. | |
nurse's behaviour. In a statement, Public Health | :09:56. | :09:59. | |
England said that they are hugely grateful to all volunteers | :10:00. | :10:02. | |
who contributed at They added that they supported | :10:03. | :10:04. | |
the judgment of the panel here in Edinburgh and wished | :10:05. | :10:09. | |
Pauline Cafferkey well No apology from them | :10:10. | :10:11. | |
or from the body governing nursing, who argued they had no alternative | :10:12. | :10:17. | |
but to bring charges against Ms Cafferkey once | :10:18. | :10:20. | |
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 | :10:42. | :10:45. | |
the additional anguish caused Speaking after her first | :10:46. | :10:48. | |
hospitalisation, she described how I do get joint pains, | :10:49. | :10:51. | |
have done for two To start with, I had | :10:52. | :10:58. | |
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 | :11:11. | :11:15. | |
and her colleagues, If she'd been found guilty, | :11:16. | :11:21. | |
Pauline Cafferkey could have been struck off, but with her reputation | :11:22. | :11:31. | |
cleared, she says she wants to continue helping others | :11:32. | :11:33. | |
to her work as a nurse. Jean-Claude Juncker, the President | :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 | :11:48. | :11:49. | |
of the European Parliament in his first State of the Union | :11:50. | :11:53. | |
address since the British He warned that Britain could not | :11:54. | :11:56. | |
expect continued access to the single market | :11:57. | :11:59. | |
without accepting Our Europe editor Katya | :12:00. | :12:01. | |
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 | :13:08. | :13:12. | |
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 | :15:15. | :15:15. | |
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 | :15:25. | :15:27. | |
since the vote to leave the EU. Average earnings increased by 2.3% | :15:28. | :15:29. | |
in the year to July. Britain and Argentina have agreed | :15:30. | :15:37. | |
to work together to remove restrictions on the oil and gas | :15:38. | :15:40. | |
industry and on shipping and fishing The talks represent a significant | :15:41. | :15:43. | |
change in relations between the two countries, but the Foreign Office | :15:44. | :15:46. | |
says they will not affect The American seeds business, | :15:47. | :15:49. | |
Monsanto, has accepted a record takeover offer worth | :15:50. | :15:54. | |
?50 billion from the German The two companies together | :15:55. | :15:56. | |
would create the world's biggest But the deal has been criticised | :15:57. | :16:00. | |
by environmentalists and still needs approval | :16:01. | :16:06. | |
from shareholders and regulators. Simon Stevens, the chief | :16:07. | :16:14. | |
executive of NHS England, says the service hasn't been | :16:15. | :16:16. | |
allocated the money he asked He told a parliamentary committee | :16:17. | :16:18. | |
that there was a "bigger hill Our health editor, | :16:19. | :16:22. | |
Hugh Pym, is here. Is he basically saying without extra | :16:23. | :16:31. | |
money hi can't sustain all of the services? The issue of the financing | :16:32. | :16:35. | |
of the NHS in England has risen up the agenda at the weekend we had | :16:36. | :16:39. | |
hospital chiefs warning without more resources something had to give. | :16:40. | :16:43. | |
Services would deteriorate. The Government argued it gave the NHS | :16:44. | :16:48. | |
what it wanted an extra ?2 billion last year and and ?8 billion for the | :16:49. | :16:53. | |
year 2020 Simon Stevens said he got what he wanted for the beginning of | :16:54. | :16:58. | |
his five-year plan and the end he didn't get what he asked for in the | :16:59. | :17:03. | |
middle. There is bemusement in Whitehall about this. They said last | :17:04. | :17:07. | |
years when the spending review was announced we didn't hear it from the | :17:08. | :17:11. | |
NHS. The settle am was welcomed. It illustrates there is tension between | :17:12. | :17:15. | |
the leadership of the NHS and the Government over how to being tale | :17:16. | :17:18. | |
the undoubted financial challenges the service is facing. Hue, again, | :17:19. | :17:31. | |
thanks very much. David Cameron's decision to approve | :17:32. | :17:35. | |
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. | |

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 | :20:32. | :20:36. | |
second to violence. Donald Trump, the Republican | :20:37. | :20:38. | |
presidential candidate, has unveiled some of his medical | :20:39. | :20:45. | |

days after being diagnosed REPORTER: Madam secretary, | :21:59. | :22:01. | |
how are you feeling? Hillary Clinton hasn't been seen | :22:02. | :22:05. | |
in public since leaving her daughter's apartment | :22:06. | :22:07. | |
shortly afterwards. A three day absence in which her | :22:08. | :22:08. | |
health has become the most talked Today, in Las Vegas, | :22:09. | :22:19. | |
her presidential husband But I just talked to her, | :22:20. | :22:27. | |
she's feeling great now and I think It's crazy time we live | :22:28. | :22:32. | |
in when people think there's something unusual | :22:33. | :22:36. | |
about getting the flu. Last time I checked, | :22:37. | :22:37. | |
millions of people were All this as a new billboard | :22:38. | :22:39. | |

supporters. It portrays him as Superman, | :22:44. | :22:45. | |
the ultimate of physical specimens. In the past few minutes the Clinton | :22:46. | :22:54. | |
campaign released a medical note from the doctor treating her | :22:55. | :22:57. | |
pneumonia. It reads, "she continues to remain healthy and fit to serve | :22:58. | :23:02. | |
as president. She is in excellent mental condition." All this an | :23:03. | :23:06. | |
attempt by the Clinton campaign to draw a line under this health issue | :23:07. | :23:11. | |
as she returns to the campaign trail in North Carolina tomorrow and she | :23:12. | :23:15. | |
rejoins a presidential race where the polls have really tightened. | :23:16. | :23:19. | |

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, | :23:36. | :23:38. | |
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 | :23:48. | :23:51. | |
It was a day when Britain raced past yet another milestone. Km Dame Zaire | :23:52. | :24:03. | |
Stey with the team's 35th gold medal, more than they won at the | :24:04. | :24:07. | |
whole of London 2012. Having reached that landmark, they kept on going. | :24:08. | :24:15. | |
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 | :24:30. | :24:35. | |
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 | :24:55. | :25:01. | |
Paralympics GB. A golden performance last night set the stone. Clegg won | :25:02. | :25:06. | |
her second title with her guide in the 200 meters. They started | :25:07. | :25:10. | |
training together six months ago both on and off the track theirs is | :25:11. | :25:16. | |
a special chemistry. You've not got a bad bone, have you, really? He is | :25:17. | :25:23. | |
a massive joker. The first session we did we just ran pretty much the | :25:24. | :25:28. | |
same. Pretty much the same. It happened. It's bee news we have fun | :25:29. | :25:35. | |
together. There has been a second title ear here for Hannah Coccroft | :25:36. | :25:41. | |
as she took the 400 meters and a world record in the pro cress. If | :25:42. | :25:46. | |
you wondered just how much a medal means, watch this. She dived for | :25:47. | :25:56. | |
third place. They did it. A bronze worth every bruise. I can tell you | :25:57. | :26:02. | |
that in the last few minutes there have been two more gold medals in | :26:03. | :26:08. | |
the pool for Britain's Michael Jones and Aaron Moors. The team's target | :26:09. | :26:15. | |
is to beat their tally of 120 medals from London 2012. With four days | :26:16. | :26:21. | |
left they're right on course, Huw. Andy, thank you very much again with | :26:22. | :26:24. | |
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. | :32:35. | :32:36. |
