There are fresh hopes that the end of the war in Syria | :00:20. | :00:23. | |
Last night a peace plan got the unanimous backing | :00:24. | :00:26. | |
of the United Nations Security Council. | :00:27. | :00:28. | |
It calls for a nationwide ceasefire and formal talks | :00:29. | :00:30. | |
But there is no mention of what to do about President Assad. | :00:31. | :00:34. | |
Our chief international correspondent, Lyse Doucet, reports. | :00:35. | :00:44. | |
Nearly five years of fighting have left Syria in ruin. Torn between a | :00:45. | :00:51. | |
vast array of rebel forces, battling President Assad's army. | :00:52. | :00:56. | |
The so-called Islamic State has taken territory too. And that is | :00:57. | :01:01. | |
widened the war even further. The bitter battle over Syria's | :01:02. | :01:05. | |
future blocked the UN Security Council for years, but now at last, | :01:06. | :01:10. | |
the deadlock here was broken. The time is now, to stop the killing | :01:11. | :01:16. | |
in Syria, lay the ground work for a government that the long suffering | :01:17. | :01:18. | |
people of that bat evered land can support. | :01:19. | :01:22. | |
The new road map is hugely ambitious. Syria talks are set for | :01:23. | :01:28. | |
January. Along with efforts to reach a ceasefire. The goal is a | :01:29. | :01:32. | |
transitional national unity Government, within six months. | :01:33. | :01:38. | |
And UN supervises elections a year later. To achieve this they had to | :01:39. | :01:43. | |
put aside the biggest dispute. President Assad's political future. | :01:44. | :01:47. | |
Not only for moral reasons because of the destruction he has unleashed | :01:48. | :01:52. | |
on his own people, but also for practical reasons, because it will | :01:53. | :01:56. | |
never be possible to bring peace and unity to Syria, as long as he is | :01:57. | :02:01. | |
remains. But Russia's new military | :02:02. | :02:09. | |
intervention in Syria is strengthening President Assad's | :02:10. | :02:12. | |
forces, on the front line and Security Council. My counterparts | :02:13. | :02:16. | |
say let's start a political process that those who went to oust Assad | :02:17. | :02:20. | |
are getting some hope that might happen. It is very sad that once | :02:21. | :02:26. | |
again, our common task, that is putting an end to terrorism, has | :02:27. | :02:31. | |
become hostage to one personality. This is no longer just Syria's war. | :02:32. | :02:37. | |
But millions of Syrians are paying a terrible price. That is why millions | :02:38. | :02:43. | |
have fled. Syria has been called the humanitarian test of our time. Now | :02:44. | :02:47. | |
it is the greatest of political challenges. | :02:48. | :02:51. | |
President Obama has praised the strength of the families | :02:52. | :02:53. | |
of the San Bernardino massacre victims, after spending an evening | :02:54. | :02:55. | |
He said he was moved by the relatives' emphasis | :02:56. | :02:58. | |
14 people were murdered in the shootings which is being | :02:59. | :03:02. | |
On Air Force One, en route to their regular Christmas holiday | :03:03. | :03:10. | |
in Hawaii, the President and First Lady stopped | :03:11. | :03:12. | |
The Presidential motorcade took them to the library | :03:13. | :03:19. | |
of the Indian Springs High School in San Bernadino, where Barack | :03:20. | :03:22. | |
and Michelle Obama spent nearly three hours talking to the relatives | :03:23. | :03:24. | |
It was a wearily familiar experience for the President, | :03:25. | :03:30. | |
who spoke of the families' strength, unity and love. | :03:31. | :03:34. | |
Despite the pain and the heartache they are feeling, they could not | :03:35. | :03:38. | |
have been more inspiring, and more proud of their loved ones, | :03:39. | :03:40. | |
and more insistent that something good comes out of of this tragedy. | :03:41. | :03:49. | |
14 people were killed on December 2nd. | :03:50. | :03:51. | |
They had been at their office Christmas party when | :03:52. | :03:53. | |
They worked at the San Bernadino County Public Health Department. | :03:54. | :04:00. | |
As did Syed Farook, who has been identified as one of the attackers, | :04:01. | :04:05. | |
The FBI is investigating their action as an act of terrorism. | :04:06. | :04:12. | |
Both died in a gun fight with police in the aftermath of the shootings. | :04:13. | :04:19. | |
The authorities say the couple pledged their allegiance | :04:20. | :04:21. | |
to Islamic State, moments before carrying out the shootings. | :04:22. | :04:23. | |
In this community, where the shock and upset is raw, the Presidential | :04:24. | :04:26. | |
The families have been through so much, and the whole city, | :04:27. | :04:34. | |
For the President of the United States to come | :04:35. | :04:38. | |
As the President left to begin his family holiday, | :04:39. | :04:43. | |
he said the visit had given him a sense of pride and hope. | :04:44. | :04:50. | |
The management company representing Jose Mourinho says the former | :04:51. | :04:53. | |
Chelsea boss - who was sacked by the club on Thursday - | :04:54. | :04:56. | |
will not be taking a sabbatical from football. | :04:57. | :04:58. | |
In a statement it says he is "very positive | :04:59. | :05:00. | |
Straight now to our sports correspondent, David Ornstein, | :05:01. | :05:04. | |
David, this is suggesting an imminent return to top flight | :05:05. | :05:12. | |
Very interesting, Gavin. Life after Jose Mourinho starts here for | :05:13. | :05:21. | |
Chelsea today against Sunderland. It is a 3.00 kick off. It is expected | :05:22. | :05:25. | |
that Guus Hiddink will be in charge on a temporary basis. He maybe in | :05:26. | :05:30. | |
the stands with Steve Holland and Eddie Newton on the bench. Jose | :05:31. | :05:32. | |
Mourinho remains the talk of Stamford Bridge because of this | :05:33. | :05:36. | |
statement from his management company, in which he thanks, the | :05:37. | :05:42. | |
fans, he makes no mention the hierarchy, the staff or players, he | :05:43. | :05:45. | |
says he will not be looking to take a sabbatical. He isn't tired. He | :05:46. | :05:50. | |
doesn't need it. He is very positive and is looking forward so could he | :05:51. | :05:53. | |
be set for an immediate return to management? There are suggestions | :05:54. | :05:56. | |
that could be at Manchester United, if Louis van Gaal is sacked. So, | :05:57. | :06:01. | |
Jose Mourinho maybe gone, but he certainly is not forgotten. We will | :06:02. | :06:04. | |
Weather experts believe that the record for the mildest | :06:05. | :06:08. | |

into the Serpentine in central London. | :06:20. | :06:27. | |
Today is expected to be the busiest shopping day of the year, | :06:28. | :06:30. | |
as retailers kick off their sales early on the last Saturday before | :06:31. | :06:32. | |

Hello again. Last night we saw temperatures rising through the | :06:50. | :07:08. | |
