The ceasefire in Eastern Ukraine appears to be holding tonight, | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
despite accusations of breaches on both sides. | :00:07. | :00:11. | |
On the ground it remains tense - even as the Russian and Ukrainian | :00:12. | :00:16. | |
leaders discuss making the ceasefire hold. | :00:17. | :00:19. | |
Every civilian I speak with says they desperately want peace. Every | :00:20. | :00:26. | |
fighter, on either side, says they don't believe the peace can last. | :00:27. | :00:28. | |
In Scotland, referendum campaigning intensifies, as a new poll suggests, | :00:29. | :00:34. | |
for the first time, a majority are in favour of leaving the UK. | :00:35. | :00:38. | |
Five-year-old Ashya King is well enough to travel to Prague | :00:39. | :00:41. | |
for treatment for brain cancer, says the family's lawyer. | :00:42. | :00:49. | |
And a shock defeat at the US Open for Novak Djokovic, as Kei Nishikori | :00:50. | :00:54. | |
becomes the first Asian man to reach a Grand Slam final. | :00:55. | :01:13. | |
Ukrainian forces and pro-Russian rebels have accused each other | :01:14. | :01:21. | |
of breaching a ceasefire in eastern Ukraine, although the situation | :01:22. | :01:25. | |
Ukraine says its leader spoke today to Russia's President, | :01:26. | :01:31. | |
Vladimir Putin, and discussed ways of making the ceasefire hold. | :01:32. | :01:36. | |
On the ground, local people have been taking stock, after recent | :01:37. | :01:39. | |
bitter fighting in flashpoints, such as Donetsk and Mariupol, | :01:40. | :01:42. | |
from where our correspondent, Fergal Keane, reports. | :01:43. | :01:46. | |
The debris of war along the road east of Mariupol, this was a | :01:47. | :01:53. | |
Ukrainian tank caught in ambush by pro-Russian forces. Today the guns | :01:54. | :02:01. | |
are silent. The roads between the opposing forces are empty. We came | :02:02. | :02:08. | |
across these bunkers abandoned by Ukrainian troops. Next, to a | :02:09. | :02:12. | |
children's holiday camp, shattered by shell fire. Luckily the | :02:13. | :02:17. | |
youngsters were evacuated a week ago. The people here were caught in | :02:18. | :02:24. | |
no-man's land. This woman came out of a shelter to find her house | :02:25. | :02:32. | |
destroyed. "I just want peace. What is all this for? To do this to | :02:33. | :02:37. | |
peaceful people, how many years have we lived together? Everything was so | :02:38. | :02:43. | |
good. Why did we come to this? So far the ceasefire is largely | :02:44. | :02:47. | |
holding, though both rebels and government claim there have been | :02:48. | :02:52. | |
violations. Among the fighting men, like these rebel troops, there's no | :02:53. | :02:58. | |
attempt to hide their belief - this is an unfinished war. | :02:59. | :03:02. | |
TRANSLATION: Of course, I will be glad if missiles stop exploding | :03:03. | :03:05. | |
here, but I will be more satisfied when our rebel army reaches the | :03:06. | :03:10. | |
border of Romania. Then there will be an independent state called New | :03:11. | :03:22. | |
Russia. On the Ukrainian side, these men of the ultra-Nationalist | :03:23. | :03:25. | |
battalion were strengthening their defences. New bunkers in expectation | :03:26. | :03:32. | |
of renewed fighting. This man is their leader, a far-right idealist | :03:33. | :03:38. | |
who hates the Russians. TRANSLATION: The whole history of | :03:39. | :03:43. | |
Russian-Ukrainian relations and of this war tells us they won't adhere | :03:44. | :03:49. | |
to the ceasefire an the war will start again. It's a question of five | :03:50. | :03:56. | |
to seven days, no more. The fact that they're building fresh defences | :03:57. | :03:58. | |
here today says something about their level of faith in the | :03:59. | :04:04. | |
durability of the ceasefire. Here in Mariupol, every civilian I speak | :04:05. | :04:08. | |
with says they desperately want peace. But every fighter, on either | :04:09. | :04:12. | |
side, says they don't believe the peace can last. The level of | :04:13. | :04:18. | |
mistrust, the sense that nothing has been settled, is profound. | :04:19. | :04:23. | |
With under two weeks to go before the referendum in Scotland, | :04:24. | :04:26. | |
campaigners for independence say the momentum for | :04:27. | :04:29. | |
Tonight, a poll by YouGov for the Sunday | :04:30. | :04:35. | |
Times suggests a majority of people are in favour of leaving the UK. | :04:36. | :04:38. | |
It's the first time a mainstream poll has put the 'Yes' | :04:39. | :04:42. | |
campaign ahead, although it doesn't include undecided voters. | :04:43. | :04:46. | |
Our Scotland Correspondent, James Cook, reports now from Glasgow. | :04:47. | :04:52. | |
Campaigners for a Yes vote enjoying their moment in the sun, mocking | :04:53. | :05:00. | |
their rivals. For decades, Scottish independence had a minority | :05:01. | :05:05. | |
following, but now, its supporters say they're on a roll, dancing | :05:06. | :05:09. | |
towards victory. The beauty of the Yes campaign is that it has momentum | :05:10. | :05:16. | |
of its own. It's a diverse, grass-roots, community-based | :05:17. | :05:18. | |
campaign. There are different groups in every single sector of society | :05:19. | :05:20. | |
campaigning for a Yes vote. in every single sector of society | :05:21. | :05:24. | |
momentum that is, I think, unstoppable. There is some | :05:25. | :05:29. | |
momentum that is, I think, of momentum. Tonight, a poll for the | :05:30. | :05:33. | |
Sunday Times suggests a Yes vote by the narrowest of margins, 51% to | :05:34. | :05:37. | |
49%, when don't knows are excluded. It's the first serious survey to put | :05:38. | :05:42. | |
the 'Yes' campaign in the lead. This poll has | :05:43. | :05:43. | |
the 'Yes' campaign in the lead. This were just the one poll, perhaps that | :05:44. | :05:49. | |
would be all that it caused. In fact, though, the underlying trend | :05:50. | :05:54. | |
is the same as in other recent surveys - movement towards a Yes | :05:55. | :05:58. | |
vote. But opponents of independence say the game isn't over until the | :05:59. | :06:04. | |
final whistle. Earlier today, they paraded their signings, 18 big names | :06:05. | :06:08. | |
in Scottish football who are supporting a No vote and their | :06:09. | :06:13. | |
player-manager for the day admitted these were nervous moments. We're at | :06:14. | :06:18. | |
the exciting part of the campaign, as they say in footballing terms, | :06:19. | :06:22. | |
it's squeaky bum time. We're enjoying this part. There's 12 days | :06:23. | :06:26. | |
to go. We're going to give it our all to win the arguments about was | :06:27. | :06:28. | |
best for the people of Scotland. all to win the arguments about was | :06:29. | :06:31. | |
With less than two weeks to go, both all to win the arguments about was | :06:32. | :06:34. | |
sides in the campaign can agree on some things at least - the race is | :06:35. | :06:37. | |
tight and the stakes could hardly be higher. | :06:38. | :06:42. | |
James joins us now. James, how seriously are both sides taking this | :06:43. | :06:43. | |
poll? Well, seriously are both sides taking this | :06:44. | :06:47. | |
comments we've just received in the past few minutes from Alistair | :06:48. | :06:51. | |
Darling, the leader of the Better Together campaign, it seems they are | :06:52. | :06:55. | |
taking it pretty seriously. Mr Darling says this poll and other | :06:56. | :06:58. | |
recent polls must serve as a wake-up call to anyone who thought this was | :06:59. | :07:02. | |
a foregone conclusion, urging people to go out and vote no. From the | :07:03. | :07:05. | |
a foregone conclusion, urging people other side, a response from the | :07:06. | :07:08. | |
Deputy First Minister who says this is a breakthrough poll and there is | :07:09. | :07:12. | |
big momentum with yes. She says they're particularly gaining support | :07:13. | :07:18. | |
among women and Labour voters. Talking of Labour voters, former | :07:19. | :07:23. | |
Prime Minister groun has writ -- Gordon Brown has written an article | :07:24. | :07:30. | |
blaming the campaign for the narrowing in the gap of the polls. A | :07:31. | :07:37. | |
senior source says there will be no change of strategy. It's all getting | :07:38. | :07:38. | |
very interesting. Thank you very much. | :07:39. | :07:45. | |
There's been a major disturbance at an immigration centre near Lincoln, | :07:46. | :07:48. | |
Staff at Morton Hall, which holds men waiting to be deported, | :07:49. | :07:54. | |
withdrew from the centre, and extra prison officers were sent. | :07:55. | :07:57. | |
Our correspondent, Judith Moritz, is there now. | :07:58. | :07:59. | |
What's the scene now? Within the last few minutes, the Home Office | :08:00. | :08:07. | |
have confirmed that things here are now under control and back to | :08:08. | :08:12. | |
normal. That means that the disturbance lasted around 12 hours. | :08:13. | :08:16. | |
It started just after breakfast. It escalated quickly to a point where | :08:17. | :08:20. | |
staff here felt they needed to withdraw for their own safety. So, | :08:21. | :08:24. | |
prison officers were brought in from elsewhere, with riot gear, to bring | :08:25. | :08:27. | |
things under control. They were joined by staff from the police and | :08:28. | :08:32. | |
ambulance and Fire Services, who were here on site until a short time | :08:33. | :08:37. | |
ago. We've just heard that things have been resolved safely. But it is | :08:38. | :08:42. | |
also the case that this followed the death a detainee here overnight last | :08:43. | :08:47. | |
night. That is what we think may have prompted this disturbance. The | :08:48. | :08:50. | |
Home Office have said an investigation has been launched. | :08:51. | :08:56. | |
Ashya King, the five-year-old boy suffering from brain cancer, | :08:57. | :08:58. | |
is well enough to travel to Prague for specialist treatment, | :08:59. | :09:01. | |
Last night, a High Court judge gave his parents permission to take | :09:02. | :09:07. | |
the child to a Czech clinic to receive proton beam therapy. | :09:08. | :09:12. | |
He is the seriously ill little boy who has no idea he's been the focus | :09:13. | :09:18. | |
of an extraordinary week of events. The case of Ashya King has divided | :09:19. | :09:25. | |
medical opinion, being played out in court and has crossed borders. Today | :09:26. | :09:31. | |
in southern Spain, his parents met doctors to finalise his move to the | :09:32. | :09:35. | |
Czech Republic for treatment. He is in perfect conditions to travel, at | :09:36. | :09:40. | |
the moment. He is playing with toys. He is with his parents, with his | :09:41. | :09:46. | |
brother. We are preparing the last document estate agency to travel. | :09:47. | :09:51. | |
REPORTER: When -- Documentation to travel. When will it happen? This | :09:52. | :09:56. | |
weekend or maximum Monday Medics say they've morning. Done all they can | :09:57. | :10:00. | |
for their young patient. TRANSLATION: We won't give an | :10:01. | :10:04. | |
opinion about treatment. We are done what we have been told by the court. | :10:05. | :10:09. | |
We have given permission for Ashya King to be moved to the hospital in | :10:10. | :10:16. | |
This is the Prague. Therapy centre. Specialists are planning for his | :10:17. | :10:23. | |
imminent arrival. On Monday morning, the paediatricians, oncologist, an | :10:24. | :10:26. | |
thesologist and all the people who will be taking care of Ashya will | :10:27. | :10:31. | |
sit down and make the final approval that he can be transported by | :10:32. | :10:35. | |
aeroplane from Malaga to Czech Republic. For Ashya King's family, | :10:36. | :10:40. | |
this is the treatment they've wanted all along. | :10:41. | :10:45. | |
The government in Sierra Leone is preparing to | :10:46. | :10:48. | |
impose a three-day nationwide lockdown later this month, to stop | :10:49. | :10:52. | |
During that time, people will not be allowed to leave their homes. | :10:53. | :10:59. | |
Sierre Leone is one of the countries worst hit by the deadly disease. | :11:00. | :11:04. | |
The present outbreak in west Africa has claimed more than 2,000 lives. | :11:05. | :11:08. | |
A former French hostage, who was held by Islamist extremists | :11:09. | :11:12. | |
in Syria, claims one of his jailers was a man suspected | :11:13. | :11:15. | |
of attacking the Jewish Museum in Brussels earlier this year. | :11:16. | :11:20. | |
Mehdi Nemmouche is awaiting trial in Belgium, accused of killing four | :11:21. | :11:23. | |
The French journalist, who was freed in April, says | :11:24. | :11:29. | |
He did hit me a number of times. I don't know of any bad treatment to | :11:30. | :11:41. | |
any other foreign hostages coming from him specifically, but I | :11:42. | :11:46. | |
witnessed him torturing local prisoners. | :11:47. | :11:49. | |
Kurdish forces, backed by American air power, | :11:50. | :11:52. | |
have recaptured a strategically important mountain in northern Iraq | :11:53. | :11:55. | |
Mount Zartak north-east of the city of Mosul, was taken by IS last | :11:56. | :12:02. | |
month, but since then, the Kurds have been slowly pushing back. | :12:03. | :12:05. | |
From there, our Middle East correspondent, | :12:06. | :12:08. | |
It contains images you may find disturbing. | :12:09. | :12:17. | |
You get here you first have to cross the river. The Peshmerga fighters | :12:18. | :12:23. | |
were in jubilant mood. It's a rugged, dusty climb up the mountain, | :12:24. | :12:30. | |
past isolated villages ah, ban donned by inhabitants, who fled as | :12:31. | :12:33. | |
battles passed this way and that. This is the kind of terrain the | :12:34. | :12:38. | |
Kurds feel at home in. This is their reward for fighting their way to the | :12:39. | :12:43. | |
top, the mountain towers over the whole plain. These villages | :12:44. | :12:48. | |
belonging to Christian and other minorities are still occupied by | :12:49. | :12:52. | |
Islamic State radicals, now at the mercy of Kurdish guns. An extremely | :12:53. | :12:57. | |
strategic position for the Kurds to have taken, absolutely dominating | :12:58. | :13:00. | |
the plain that leads through the haze across to Mosul. But big though | :13:01. | :13:05. | |
that may seem, here, it's a small step, compared with the giant task | :13:06. | :13:08. | |
that lies ahead. The Peshmerga brought in some of their elite | :13:09. | :13:13. | |
fighters for this battle. They acknowledge American air power | :13:14. | :13:16. | |
played a crucial role. TRANSLATION: It was a tough battle, | :13:17. | :13:19. | |
but the American air strikes helped a lot. We could have done it without | :13:20. | :13:25. | |
them, but not right now. The rocky hillside is strewn with the bodies | :13:26. | :13:30. | |
of Islamist fighters still lying sprawled where they fell. It's a big | :13:31. | :13:35. | |
enough victory to bring the president of Kurdistan and his | :13:36. | :13:40. | |
entourage to inspect the scene. The combination of local forces and | :13:41. | :13:43. | |
Western air power carried the day, at least in this small corner of | :13:44. | :13:47. | |
Iraq. There's a long way to go and many complications to be resolved | :13:48. | :13:51. | |
before that process can be extended to the vast other areas in Iraq and | :13:52. | :13:55. | |
Syria, where the Islamists have taken root. | :13:56. | :14:01. | |
With all the sport, here's Katherine Downes at the BBC Sport Centre. | :14:02. | :14:06. | |
We start with news of an upset at the US Open tennis, | :14:07. | :14:10. | |
where the world number one, Novak Djokovic, has been beaten in | :14:11. | :14:14. | |
the semi-finals by the world number 11, Kei Nishikori, from Japan. | :14:15. | :14:18. | |
Nishikori becomes the first Asian man ever to make it to the final | :14:19. | :14:21. | |
Little was expected of Kei Nishikori, under a baking sun and in | :14:22. | :14:31. | |
front of a scorching opponent, surely he would wilt. The theory was | :14:32. | :14:35. | |
his body would be too fragile to handle this. The evidence didn't | :14:36. | :14:40. | |
back that up. It's easy to stay cool when you return as efficiently as | :14:41. | :14:44. | |
this. Novak Djokovic helpless first set to the Japanese man. That was | :14:45. | :14:49. | |
only one set. And Djokovic is the world number one. Capable of | :14:50. | :14:53. | |
manoeuvring matches quickly, he won the second. A familiar story seemed | :14:54. | :14:57. | |
to be unfolding, but then another twist in the plot - Colin Nish broke | :14:58. | :15:01. | |
in the third -- Kei Nishikori broke in the third. This wasn't | :15:02. | :15:04. | |
comfortable, nothing in near 100 degree heat is. In the tie-break he | :15:05. | :15:09. | |
was stronger. By the fourth, it was Djokovic who seemed to crave | :15:10. | :15:13. | |
shelter. The world number 11 was dominated him, his famous resistance | :15:14. | :15:19. | |
battered away. Kei Nishikori was about to become the first Asian man | :15:20. | :15:21. | |
to reach a major about to become the first Asian man | :15:22. | :15:24. | |
tennis' top prospects is becoming one of its top players. | :15:25. | :15:27. | |
Nishikori will play either Roger Federer or Marin Cilic, | :15:28. | :15:31. | |
Lewis Hamilton will start tomorrow's Italian Grand Prix at Monza | :15:32. | :15:36. | |
Hamilton trails Rosberg by 29 points was second fastest. | :15:37. | :15:45. | |
Hamilton trails Rosberg by 29 points in the Drivers' Championship | :15:46. | :15:46. | |
and all eyes will be on the pair, after their collision at the | :15:47. | :15:50. | |
I won't be doing anything silly tomorrow at all. Yeah, I mean, it | :15:51. | :16:00. | |
I won't be doing anything silly might be in his mind, who knows. For | :16:01. | :16:02. | |
me, I'm just going to be doing the same thing as always. | :16:03. | :16:05. | |
In rugby union, the Premiership and the Pro 12 | :16:06. | :16:07. | |
All the results but the stand-out game | :16:08. | :16:13. | |
of today was Saracens against Wasps at Twickenham. | :16:14. | :16:16. | |
Last season's runners-up snatched victory in the final minute, | :16:17. | :16:19. | |
as David Strettle crossed the line for his third try of the match. | :16:20. | :16:22. | |
Ben Stokes hit 164 for Durham to help them reach their first Lord's | :16:23. | :16:35. | |
final in seven years. His innings in the one-day cup includes six sixes | :16:36. | :16:39. | |
in the victory over Nottinghamshire. They play Warwickshire in the final. | :16:40. | :16:41. | |
That is all the sport. Back to you. The Andrew Marr programme is | :16:42. | :16:44. | |
on tomorrow morning Good evening. Some of us saw some | :16:45. | :17:10. | |
sunshine earlier today, the best in the south-western squad rant. If -- | :17:11. | :17:16. | |
quad rant. If you're in Yorkshire and Leeds, not such a good day. We | :17:17. | :17:20. | |
still have outbreaks of rain drifting east across England. | :17:21. | :17:21. |
