Military action is still an option if Syria doesn't comply with the | :00:05. | :00:12. | |
deal to surrender its chemical weapons stockpile. But as the | :00:12. | :00:17. | |
Americans reiterate the warnings, Syrian Government forces step up an | :00:17. | :00:21. | |
offensive against rebels in Damascus. Nick Clegg says there | :00:21. | :00:25. | |
should be no return to the bad old days of single-party Government | :00:25. | :00:29. | |
after the next election. Final preparations are being made in Italy | :00:29. | :00:34. | |
to raise the Costa Concordia cruise liner. | :00:34. | :00:39. | |
Oh, my word - it is Gomez's victory... . It is a bad day for the | :00:39. | :00:44. | |
Brownlee brothers,. A very good evening to you. Syria | :00:44. | :01:07. | |
has said it has begun compiling a list of its chemical weapons to | :01:07. | :01:11. | |
submit to the UN, as part of a deal agreed by the US and Russia. Today, | :01:12. | :01:16. | |
America and France reiterated military action might still be used | :01:16. | :01:20. | |
against country if the country reneges on its commitment to destroy | :01:20. | :01:25. | |
its chemical weapons arsenal. The intense diplomacy has not affected | :01:26. | :01:29. | |
the fighting on the ground. In the capital, Damascus, the Government | :01:29. | :01:32. | |
has stepped up its campaign against the rebels. | :01:32. | :01:40. | |
All day, all night, war ruins lives and ends them in Syria. | :01:40. | :01:48. | |
From here in the centre of Damascus, the regime's stronghold, we can see | :01:48. | :01:53. | |
its guns hitting the rebel-held suburbs. On almost every day, accept | :01:53. | :01:59. | |
21st August, when hundreds died in the chemical attack, the war is | :01:59. | :02:07. | |
fought with conventional weapons. Ending all the daily tragedies | :02:07. | :02:12. | |
caused by bullets and explosive is the challenge for international | :02:12. | :02:16. | |
diplomacy, bigger than dealing with chemical weapons. This was the day | :02:16. | :02:22. | |
of the cross - an important Christian festival in the Greek | :02:22. | :02:26. | |
Catholic Cathedral in Damascus. Almost all the worshippers fled here | :02:26. | :02:32. | |
from the fighting in Malula. The Christian town, about 40 miles away. | :02:32. | :02:38. | |
This woman was wounded in the rebel attack on Malula. Her family and | :02:38. | :02:42. | |
neighbours were mourning her brother, cousin and her nephew, who | :02:42. | :02:46. | |
were shot, she says, by rebels when they tried to surrender. | :02:46. | :02:53. | |
Pictures from the first attack show her being carried to safety. She | :02:53. | :02:58. | |
says the men who killed her relations had local accents. She | :02:58. | :03:02. | |
says they used to live happily with their Muslim neighbours. | :03:02. | :03:03. | |
??FORCEWHITE REPORTER: Do you think you could | :03:03. | :03:12. | |
trust them again after this? No way, she said, never - it is impossible. | :03:12. | :03:19. | |
This didn't start ass a sectarian war -- as a sectarian war, but it is | :03:19. | :03:24. | |
becoming one. Jesus help us, she says. | :03:24. | :03:29. | |
So, all this is another sign that what one observer here called the | :03:29. | :03:34. | |
Syrian mosaic of different sects is breaking up. These people don't | :03:34. | :03:37. | |
trust a lot of their old neighbours any more and they have no idea when | :03:37. | :03:44. | |
they'll get home. The school term has started for | :03:44. | :03:49. | |
everyone who had a school to go to. UNICEF says two million Syrian | :03:49. | :03:53. | |
children are not getting educated. Even at this school n a well-off | :03:53. | :03:58. | |
part of Damascus, one-third to a half of the girls have lost their | :03:58. | :04:04. | |
homes because of the war. A social worker said half the displaced girls | :04:04. | :04:10. | |
had suffered trauma. TRANSLATION: At first, it was bad. I | :04:10. | :04:15. | |
left my home. I was anxious, crying, having nightmares. Even screaming. I | :04:15. | :04:19. | |
wasn't very good, but later I thought I wasn't the first or the | :04:19. | :04:23. | |
last girl to feel like this. So, I carried on. | :04:23. | :04:31. | |
Until last year, she lived in a suburb held by rebels. And pounded | :04:31. | :04:35. | |
by the regime. She still has friends left behind | :04:35. | :04:39. | |
and wonders what these attacks are doing to them. The pain and loss | :04:39. | :04:44. | |
suffered by civilian civilians across the line of a war that | :04:45. | :04:49. | |
Syrians and foreigners can fuel but not stop. | :04:49. | :04:53. | |
Jeremy joins us live from Damascus now. How mindful is the Assad regime | :04:53. | :04:58. | |
of the continuing threat of US and French military action? Well, I | :04:58. | :05:05. | |
think it has to be mindful of that - definitely. They are also mindful of | :05:05. | :05:09. | |
the fact that the Russians brookerred this deal. The Assad | :05:09. | :05:14. | |
regime is absolutely dependant in so many ways on Moscow for help with | :05:14. | :05:19. | |
weapons and especially with diplomatic protection at the UN and | :05:19. | :05:23. | |
around the world. So, I think, as a result of that, this whole process | :05:23. | :05:27. | |
may go rather more smoothly than some people are expecting. I think | :05:27. | :05:30. | |
the Russians will be putting a lot of pressure on them to do as they | :05:30. | :05:34. | |
are told for the time being. That, plus that threat of military action, | :05:34. | :05:38. | |
will concentrate their minds. Now, the UN weapons inspectors, their | :05:38. | :05:43. | |
report comes out tomorrow. Three weeks ago, when I arrived, they were | :05:43. | :05:48. | |
still here. And so much has changed since then, hasn't it? Because their | :05:48. | :05:50. | |
departure was supposed to be the cue since then, hasn't it? Because their | :05:50. | :05:55. | |
for a possible American attack. That didn't happen. Now, the Syrians say | :05:55. | :06:00. | |
they'll give up their weapons. There are some suggestions that that | :06:00. | :06:03. | |
report might even point the finger of blame at the Syrian regime. That | :06:03. | :06:08. | |
is not at all clear. It would be beyond their remit I would be | :06:08. | :06:13. | |
significant if they did and we'll know probably by this time tomorrow. | :06:13. | :06:20. | |
Many thanks. Now, Nick Clegg says his party will | :06:20. | :06:25. | |
go into the next general election campaigning for another coalition | :06:25. | :06:27. | |
Government with either the Conservatives or Labour. Speaking at | :06:27. | :06:31. | |
the annual Liberal Democrats conference in Glasgow, he said that | :06:31. | :06:35. | |
a majority win by either of the main parties would harm the economy and | :06:35. | :06:39. | |
the sacrifices made by the millions of people since the last election | :06:39. | :06:41. | |
would be squandered. Grim opinion polls, spats over | :06:41. | :06:52. | |
policy and rain on their parade. The Lib Demes may be facing head winds | :06:53. | :06:57. | |
here in glass go, but the mood -- Glasgow, but the mood is not as damp | :06:57. | :07:02. | |
as the weather is dreary. That is because the Lib Demes know this man | :07:02. | :07:07. | |
could hold the balance of power. Today Nick Clegg said the coalition | :07:07. | :07:11. | |
had done good things. He urged voters to elect another and let him | :07:11. | :07:16. | |
finish the good. If we go -- the job. If we go back to the old days | :07:16. | :07:20. | |
of the left or the right, dominating Government, on their own, you will | :07:20. | :07:24. | |
get a recovery which is neither fair or sustainable. I think Labour would | :07:24. | :07:27. | |
wreck the recovery and under the Conservative, who don't have the | :07:27. | :07:29. | |
same commitment to fairness as we do, you would get the wrong kind of | :07:29. | :07:34. | |
recovery. He would not say which party he would prefer in coalition. | :07:34. | :07:39. | |
He would talk to the one with most votes and seats. Nor would he spell | :07:39. | :07:44. | |
out die in the trench policies. The priorities would include a mansion | :07:44. | :07:47. | |
tax and... We are committed as a party and I am committed to this to | :07:47. | :07:51. | |
raising the allowance further, such that you pay no income tax | :07:51. | :07:55. | |
equivalent to the minimum wage. Everybody on the minimum wage pays | :07:55. | :08:01. | |
no income tax. The Lib Demes embedded as the third party of | :08:01. | :08:07. | |
Government. The risk is that the party looks politically promiscuous. | :08:07. | :08:13. | |
Can I see all those who are in... Today, the party did compromise, as | :08:13. | :08:19. | |
members backed away from defeating Nick Clegg, voting to keep twegs and | :08:19. | :08:24. | |
support nuclear power. Tomorrow they will debate the economy n what some | :08:24. | :08:29. | |
say could be a showdown over how best to secure the recovery. Nick | :08:29. | :08:33. | |
Clegg says he's not talking to a party about another coalition, but | :08:33. | :08:37. | |
it is the talk of this conference. While surveys today suggest most Lib | :08:37. | :08:40. | |
Demes would prefer coalition with Labour, for now, at least, their | :08:40. | :08:48. | |
leader is playing for the blue team. Well, our political editor is in | :08:48. | :08:53. | |
Glasgow for us now. So, the message from the leadership is, all is well | :08:53. | :08:57. | |
- coalition policies are working. But, is that the feeling of the rank | :08:57. | :09:01. | |
and file in the party - particularly on the economy? | :09:01. | :09:04. | |
Well, we will discover that tomorrow because there will be a debate. Yes, | :09:04. | :09:07. | |
Well, we will discover that tomorrow this party conference does actually | :09:07. | :09:10. | |
have debates on the economy tomorrow. And in it, Nick Clegg will | :09:10. | :09:14. | |
take the unusual step of a leader of speaking in the debate. He will say | :09:14. | :09:18. | |
to his party, don't do it. What does he mean? Don't throw away our | :09:18. | :09:22. | |
economic credibility is what I am told he'll say. Do not, in other | :09:22. | :09:26. | |
words, vote for a motion tomorrow which will call for a rebalancing of | :09:26. | :09:31. | |
economic policy in order to promote growth and create more jobs. The | :09:31. | :09:35. | |
script of this whole debate is that the leader is tough with his party | :09:35. | :09:39. | |
and ends up victorious. One problem - the man you all associate with | :09:39. | :09:44. | |
economic policy and the Liberal Democrats, Vince Cable, is not | :09:44. | :09:47. | |
willing to be part of that plot. He'll take no part in the debate. He | :09:47. | :09:50. | |
will not speak in it. He may not even vote in the debate. Although we | :09:50. | :09:54. | |
are told he really supports the motion. It shows there is tension, | :09:54. | :09:59. | |
not just over the subject of the policy but how the Lib Demes present | :09:59. | :10:03. | |
themselves between now and the election. | :10:03. | :10:09. | |
Many thanks. Salvage experts in Italy are making | :10:09. | :10:12. | |
final preparations to raise the wreck of the Costa Concordia cruise | :10:12. | :10:16. | |
ship. The vessel has been lying on its side since hitting rocks off the | :10:16. | :10:21. | |
island of Giglio in January last year, killing 32 people. Our Rome | :10:21. | :10:26. | |
correspondent has more. Everything here is at last ready. | :10:26. | :10:31. | |
After more than a year of preparations, one of the largest | :10:31. | :10:34. | |
salvage operations ever attempted is about to start. | :10:34. | :10:40. | |
This huge ship - bigger than the Titanic, should soon rise up out of | :10:40. | :10:43. | |
the sea. On the night of the disaster, the | :10:43. | :10:48. | |
Costa Concordia rolled over on her side. Those tiny figures are | :10:48. | :10:54. | |
passengers struggling to reach lifeboats. More than 30 people | :10:54. | :11:00. | |
drowned during the chaotic, terrifying e evacuation. The captain | :11:00. | :11:06. | |
is on trial for multiple manslaughter, but the task now is to | :11:06. | :11:12. | |
salvage his ship. Dozens of pulleys will slowly rotate the Costa | :11:12. | :11:15. | |
Concordia into another upright position at a rate of about three | :11:15. | :11:18. | |
Concordia into another upright metres per hour. There'll be | :11:18. | :11:22. | |
attached to chained that have been looped around the ship's hull. Metal | :11:22. | :11:26. | |
tanks, filled with water, on the exposed side of the vessel, will | :11:26. | :11:33. | |
also help pull it upright. The man master minding all this was asked | :11:33. | :11:37. | |
what the most worrying phase will be. We are not sure about the actual | :11:37. | :11:42. | |
weights and how much the rocks are going to hold on to her. So, that is | :11:42. | :11:48. | |
the critical point. When we start up we will watch all the equipment and | :11:48. | :11:52. | |
want to increase the tension very slowly until she comes off the | :11:52. | :11:56. | |
rocks. The salvage men say they are ready, that they are completely | :11:56. | :12:00. | |
confident, that they can raise the Costa Concordia. All the same, you | :12:00. | :12:06. | |
sense that they will be mightily relieved if their extraordinary | :12:06. | :12:10. | |
complex operation really does go exactly to plan. Once the ship is | :12:10. | :12:15. | |
brought upright, it will be thoroughly searched and it is hoped | :12:16. | :12:19. | |
that the bodies of two people, missing since the night of the | :12:19. | :12:21. | |
disaster, might at last be found. Magistrates have granted detectives | :12:21. | :12:33. | |
extra time to question a man arrested after a fatal stabbing in | :12:33. | :12:36. | |
Leicester on Thursday. Police are trying to discover if there is a | :12:36. | :12:40. | |
link between the killing and a fire nearby hours later, in which four | :12:40. | :12:45. | |
members of the same family died. Shehnila Taufiq, her two sons Jamal | :12:45. | :12:49. | |
and Bilal and their sister, Zainab, who was 19, all died in the blaze at | :12:49. | :12:54. | |
their home in the Spinney Hill area of the city. Five people are being | :12:54. | :12:58. | |
questioned in connection with p the fire. One of two women arrested on | :12:58. | :13:02. | |
suspicion of trying to smuggle cocaine worth £1.5 million out of | :13:02. | :13:07. | |
Peru is reportingly prepared to plead guilty in exchange for a | :13:07. | :13:13. | |
shorter sentence. Melissa Reid says in the Mail on Sunday that she was | :13:13. | :13:18. | |
threatened by an armed gang to traffic the drugs. The newspaper | :13:18. | :13:21. | |
says a deal could cut her sentence from up to 25 years in prison to | :13:21. | :13:25. | |
just under seven. Now, the BBC has obtained new text | :13:25. | :13:29. | |
messages suggesting there were difficulties in the relationship | :13:29. | :13:33. | |
between Anni Dewani, who was shot dead on her honeymoon in South | :13:33. | :13:38. | |
Africa and her husband, Shrien, who is accused of ordering her murder. | :13:38. | :13:44. | |
An investigation by Panorama has found police files containing | :13:44. | :13:45. | |
evidence for the inquiry. Was this the look of love between | :13:45. | :13:55. | |
newlyweds? No sign on their wedding day that the marriage of Shrien and | :13:55. | :14:00. | |
Anni Dewani would end in murder. With him accused of hiring the | :14:00. | :14:04. | |
gunman during their honeymoon in cape town. CCTV from their hotel | :14:04. | :14:09. | |
shows an apparently happy couple. But the BBC has now obtained the | :14:09. | :14:14. | |
prosecution file, containing previously unpublished text | :14:14. | :14:17. | |
messages, sent by Anni before she died. She messaged her cousin in | :14:17. | :14:21. | |
mid-September: The prosecutors may use the texts to | :14:21. | :14:42. | |
show their marriage was not all that it seemed. While in South Africa, | :14:42. | :14:48. | |
Anni texted, "he's a nice guy in all ways, but I don't feel happy at | :14:48. | :14:53. | |
all." A day later "it is going better than before. Hard to explain. | :14:53. | :14:57. | |
I will call you as soon as I return. Hate the word divorce." | :14:57. | :15:04. | |
The murder victim was found in a car... She never did return. Three | :15:05. | :15:09. | |
days later, Anni was found shot dead in the back of an abandoned taxi in | :15:09. | :15:15. | |
cape town. We know the names of the men who took her lives. They have | :15:15. | :15:18. | |
been through the courts already. The question is whether Shrien paid | :15:18. | :15:22. | |
them. As ever, with this case, the evidence points in different | :15:22. | :15:26. | |
directions. The BBC has obtained medical records which suggest the | :15:26. | :15:27. | |
directions. The BBC has obtained couple were keen to have a baby. | :15:27. | :15:32. | |
Shrien, meanwhile, denies any role in his wife's murder, appears to | :15:32. | :15:37. | |
have had a mental breakdown and is fighting all attempts to get him | :15:37. | :15:38. | |
back to South Africa for a trial. fighting all attempts to get him | :15:38. | :15:44. | |
You can see that edition of Panorama this Thursday on BBC One at 9pm. | :15:44. | :15:51. | |
Now, with all the sport here's Ollie Foster at the BBC Sport Centre. | :15:51. | :15:56. | |
There was heartbreak today for the Brownlee brothers. Olympic champion | :15:56. | :16:00. | |
Alister and bronze medallist Jonny were going for the World Triathlon | :16:00. | :16:07. | |
title. Both missed out. Hyde Park was where the Brownlee | :16:07. | :16:12. | |
brothers lit up the London Games last year. Neither would be taking | :16:12. | :16:16. | |
the title of world champion back to Yorkshire. The weather in London was | :16:16. | :16:21. | |
almost as wet as the 1500 metre swim in the Serpentine. Alister was | :16:21. | :16:26. | |
perfectly placed for the 40km on the bike, dictating the pace and the at | :16:26. | :16:31. | |
the ticks. He led rivals going into the 10km run. Dismount from his | :16:31. | :16:37. | |
bike, it was clear an ankle injury was worse than feared. His challenge | :16:37. | :16:44. | |
over, it was now for his younger brother to deliver. Javier Gomez - | :16:44. | :16:52. | |
the Spaniard who split the Brownlees on the Olympic podium went stride by | :16:52. | :16:57. | |
stride. It was a matter of who had enough left in the tank. | :16:57. | :17:03. | |
Of, my word it is Gomez's victory. I am absolutely gutted, to be honest. | :17:03. | :17:07. | |
I wanted to win. I wanted to be world champion. To be beaten by just | :17:07. | :17:12. | |
a few metres oh sore, it is hard to -- metres or so, it is hard to take. | :17:12. | :17:18. | |
Gomez retains the world title. There was space on the podium for | :17:18. | :17:25. | |
only one Brownlee brother this time. The double Olympic and world | :17:25. | :17:30. | |
champion Mo Farah came out second best in the Great North Run. | :17:30. | :17:42. | |
Priscah Jeptoo won the women's race. David Weir and Shelly Woods the | :17:42. | :17:46. | |
wheelchair races. The Davis Cup team are back in the elite world group. | :17:46. | :17:52. | |
They won both of today's singles in Croatia. | :17:52. | :17:55. | |
Andy Murray's straight sets win against Ivan Dodig gave them a lead | :17:55. | :17:59. | |
to secure promotion. The Tour of Britain started in | :17:59. | :18:01. | |
to secure promotion. Scotland today, with Sir Bradley | :18:01. | :18:04. | |
Wiggins and Mark Cavendish among the British riders. The tour ends next | :18:04. | :18:09. | |
weekend in London. Both avoided a chaotic crash in the sprint finish | :18:09. | :18:13. | |
at Drumlanrig Castle. Italy's Ella Viviani won the first stage T tour | :18:13. | :18:16. | |
moves on to the Lake District tomorrow. | :18:16. | :18:20. | |
David Florence has made history by becoming the first person to win | :18:20. | :18:24. | |
gold in the one man and two-man canoe. He took the individual title, | :18:24. | :18:30. | |
the C1 yesterday in Prague. He was back with Hounslow and won the C2 | :18:30. | :18:35. | |
event by a mere 400ths of a second. That is all your sport. | :18:35. | :18:39. | |
Many thanks. That's it from me and the team. Do stay with us here on | :18:39. | :18:42. | |
