The latest diplomatic push to stop the war in Syria. | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
Talk of fresh sanctions but no breakthrough. | :00:09. | :00:11. | |
As the bombs fall on Aleppo again, an international summit in London | :00:12. | :00:16. | |
It could stop tomorrow morning, tonight, if Russia and the Assad | :00:17. | :00:26. | |
regime would behave according to any norm or any standard of decency. | :00:27. | :00:33. | |
As tensions rise at the Jungle camp in Calais, we hear from the children | :00:34. | :00:43. | |
stranded there and hoping to come to Britain. | :00:44. | :00:52. | |
40% of people are living in substandard homes. We have a special | :00:53. | :00:56. | |
report. And, Andy Murray takes another step | :00:57. | :00:58. | |
to becoming world number one A second round of international | :00:59. | :01:01. | |
talks on Syria has ended, with no clear plan of how to stop | :01:02. | :01:26. | |
the bombing by Russian and Syrian government forces of the northern | :01:27. | :01:29. | |
city of Aleppo. Tougher sanctions on Moscow | :01:30. | :01:33. | |
and Damascus were discussed, and no option is said | :01:34. | :01:36. | |
to be off the table. But the Foreign Secretary Boris | :01:37. | :01:39. | |
Johnson and his American counterpart John Kerry conceded that a military | :01:40. | :01:41. | |
solution was "extremely difficult". The East of Aleppo is being | :01:42. | :01:59. | |
pummelled into submission. That, at least, if the aim of this firepower. | :02:00. | :02:04. | |
The air strikes by the regime and the Russians are relentless. | :02:05. | :02:08. | |
Underneath the bombardment, a terrified civilians, as well as the | :02:09. | :02:13. | |
opposition fighters that the Syrian Government is determined to defeat. | :02:14. | :02:18. | |
Hundreds upon hundreds of people have died in Aleppo since the | :02:19. | :02:22. | |
ceasefire collapsed last month. Many of them children buried under | :02:23. | :02:26. | |
rubble. Both Russia and the regime are being accused of crimes against | :02:27. | :02:32. | |
humanity. Far away from the Syrian battlefields, in London, yet more | :02:33. | :02:40. | |
talks on how to end the carnage. It is a humanitarian disaster, the | :02:41. | :02:46. | |
largest since World War II. It could stop tomorrow morning, tonight, if | :02:47. | :02:54. | |
Russia and the Assad regime were to behave according to any norm or any | :02:55. | :03:01. | |
standard of decency. What could the officials sitting around this table | :03:02. | :03:04. | |
to put on the regime and their Russian backers? There are a lot of | :03:05. | :03:10. | |
measures that we are proposing, to do with extra stanchions on the | :03:11. | :03:15. | |
Syrian regime and their supporters, measures to bring those responsible | :03:16. | :03:21. | |
to the International Criminal Court. These things will come to bite the | :03:22. | :03:25. | |
perpetrators of these crimes. No mention of trying to stop the | :03:26. | :03:30. | |
bombing with what Boris Johnson described as kinetic military | :03:31. | :03:33. | |
options. There have been calls for a no-fly zone, or at least a no | :03:34. | :03:37. | |
bombing zone. I have not seen a big appetite for people to go to war, I | :03:38. | :03:42. | |
have not seen European Parliament ready to declare war, I do not see | :03:43. | :03:46. | |
countries declaring that is the better solution. We are pursuing | :03:47. | :03:49. | |
diplomacy because those are the tools that we have. On one important | :03:50. | :03:57. | |
front, Islamic State militants have suffered another defeat. This is -- | :03:58. | :04:03. | |
rebels hacked by Turkey brought down the Islamic State flag. It is of | :04:04. | :04:09. | |
little strategic significance, but it is worth Islamic State promised | :04:10. | :04:14. | |
to fight a final apocalyptic battle with the West, so it is an important | :04:15. | :04:18. | |
symbolic blow. But this is one front in the war, the wider conflict is no | :04:19. | :04:24. | |
closer to an end, after all be talking in London today. | :04:25. | :04:30. | |
On the face of it, it does not seem that these talks have achieved much. | :04:31. | :04:35. | |
You are right, there were a lot of strong words and condemnation, and | :04:36. | :04:39. | |
Boris Johnson appealed to Russia and Iran to show mercy to the people of | :04:40. | :04:43. | |
Aleppo. There was talk of new economic sanctions, but they were | :04:44. | :04:49. | |
not any concrete new proposals to put pressure on Russia and Syria. | :04:50. | :04:57. | |
There is a feeling now that not much will change on that front until | :04:58. | :05:00. | |
there is a new administration in the United States. No end, I think, to | :05:01. | :05:06. | |
the bombing of Aleppo and the desperate plight of the civilians | :05:07. | :05:08. | |
who are trapped there. Campaigners are calling | :05:09. | :05:11. | |
on the Government to speed up as a matter of urgency its programme | :05:12. | :05:13. | |
to resettle hundreds of unaccompanied children stranded | :05:14. | :05:16. | |
in Calais, at the camp known Small groups have been | :05:17. | :05:19. | |
allowed into the UK, but with the camp due to be | :05:20. | :05:23. | |
demolished in the coming days, there's growing concern | :05:24. | :05:25. | |
for those still living there. Our Special Correspondent Ed Thomas | :05:26. | :05:28. | |
has spent the last week at the camp, The rush to escape | :05:29. | :05:31. | |
the panic and the tear gas. 16 years old, and like many | :05:32. | :05:43. | |
here, a teenager alone, Some of the children trying to get | :05:44. | :05:54. | |
in those trucks were as young These are the images that make | :05:55. | :06:07. | |
many in Britain nervous. Mohammed says he has | :06:08. | :06:15. | |
no family in the UK, But hundreds of teenagers here say | :06:16. | :06:18. | |
they do have relatives in the UK They're 14 and 16 and say they left | :06:19. | :06:35. | |
Afghanistan six months ago. Jamshed says he is sad and wants | :06:36. | :06:51. | |
to be with his father "We have given our names in, | :06:52. | :06:54. | |
we don't know what to do," he says. If their family links are proven, | :06:55. | :07:05. | |
the British Government has promised Charities here say some | :07:06. | :07:09. | |
unaccompanied children have been All are vulnerable to | :07:10. | :07:17. | |
people traffickers. One girl, who didn't | :07:18. | :07:23. | |
want to go on camera, broke down as she told us | :07:24. | :07:25. | |
how her friends were The charity Safe Passage UK | :07:26. | :07:28. | |
estimates that 147 children have gone missing from this camp this | :07:29. | :07:35. | |
year alone and three have been We filmed this young | :07:36. | :07:39. | |
girl in the middle We watched her with a much older man | :07:40. | :07:46. | |
walk from tent to tent. He is 13 and British | :07:47. | :07:56. | |
officials are now in Calais, speaking to children like him, | :07:57. | :08:14. | |
but still he waits. But first, Britain and France must | :08:15. | :08:17. | |
agree who will care The Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson, | :08:18. | :08:45. | |
who led the campaign to leave the European Union, | :08:46. | :08:53. | |
has defended writing a newspaper article in favour of the EU just | :08:54. | :08:55. | |
two days before backing In the draft which wasn't published, | :08:56. | :08:58. | |
he warned of the economic Mr Johnson now says he wrote | :08:59. | :09:02. | |
the article, and another in favour of leaving the EU, | :09:03. | :09:05. | |
in order to clarify his thoughts. May June the 24th be | :09:06. | :09:09. | |
Independence Day for Britain. His decision to back Brexit | :09:10. | :09:13. | |
was credited with giving the Leave campaign the boost it needed to win, | :09:14. | :09:15. | |
but it's well known Boris Johnson had wavered over | :09:16. | :09:19. | |
which side to support. Now an article never meant to be | :09:20. | :09:22. | |
published has surfaced in which he made | :09:23. | :09:28. | |
the case for Remain. Today, the now Foreign Secretary | :09:29. | :09:31. | |
explained why he'd penned it. Everybody was trying to make | :09:32. | :09:37. | |
up their minds about whether or not to leave the European Union and it's | :09:38. | :09:40. | |
perfectly true that, back in February, I was wrestling | :09:41. | :09:43. | |
with it like a lot of people in this country and I wrote a long piece | :09:44. | :09:47. | |
which came down overwhelmingly | :09:48. | :09:51. | |
in favour of leaving. I then thought I'd better | :09:52. | :09:54. | |
see if I could make In the article, revealed today | :09:55. | :09:57. | |
by the Sunday Times, Boris Johnson suggested Brexit | :09:58. | :10:01. | |
could lead to an economic shock or the break-up of the UK, | :10:02. | :10:04. | |
and he said access to the single market came with just | :10:05. | :10:08. | |
a small membership free, directly contradicting his comments | :10:09. | :10:11. | |
on the campaign trail. Are you saying there would be no | :10:12. | :10:15. | |
reaction on the markets? I think it might be | :10:16. | :10:18. | |
a very positive reaction. If we vote Leave on June 23rd, | :10:19. | :10:20. | |
I believe we will galvanise this country, our economy | :10:21. | :10:25. | |
and our democracy. Today, Boris Johnson said | :10:26. | :10:29. | |
considering both sides of the debate I set them side-by-side | :10:30. | :10:32. | |
and it was blindingly obvious what the right thing to do was, | :10:33. | :10:39. | |
and I think the people For some, his early turmoil over | :10:40. | :10:41. | |
Brexit reflects what's happening in Government now, | :10:42. | :10:47. | |
where there are different views on what the UK's relationship | :10:48. | :10:50. | |
with the EU should be and some Whilst the Government has | :10:51. | :10:54. | |
a mandate to pull us out of the European Union, | :10:55. | :10:59. | |
they don't have the That is why it is important | :11:00. | :11:01. | |
the Government strengthens its own hand and also just | :11:02. | :11:05. | |
subjects its own ideas to the scrutiny of parliament before | :11:06. | :11:08. | |
they go to negotiations. Ministers insist there will be | :11:09. | :11:14. | |
democratic accountability but they say revealing their hand | :11:15. | :11:17. | |
could undermine their position. We are not going to come | :11:18. | :11:20. | |
on every single day and give If I were to sit down and play poker | :11:21. | :11:23. | |
with you this morning, You'd win because I | :11:24. | :11:27. | |
can't play poker. Before we even start | :11:28. | :11:31. | |
playing the game. But Brexit is no game | :11:32. | :11:33. | |
or even campaign. It's a reality that ministers have | :11:34. | :11:34. | |
promised to deliver. Some want similar clarity | :11:35. | :11:38. | |
from the wider Government. Donald Trump has again claimed | :11:39. | :11:48. | |
the US Presidential election In a series of tweets, | :11:49. | :11:50. | |
the Republican Presidential nominee also accused the media | :11:51. | :11:54. | |
of favouring his rival, Hillary Clinton, in a way he said | :11:55. | :11:57. | |
was dishonest and distorted. But his vice-presidential running | :11:58. | :12:00. | |
mate Mike Pence says both he and Mr Trump would respect | :12:01. | :12:03. | |
the outcome of the vote. The 15-year-old daughter of the US | :12:04. | :12:09. | |
sprinter Tyson Gay has been shot Trinity Gay died after being hit | :12:10. | :12:12. | |
in the neck, in what witnesses say was an exchange of gunfire | :12:13. | :12:18. | |
between two vehicles in the early Tyson Gay is second only | :12:19. | :12:21. | |
to Jamaica's Usain Bolt in the all-time list | :12:22. | :12:25. | |
of fastest-ever 100-metre runners. Britain, the United States | :12:26. | :12:32. | |
and the United Nations have called for an unconditional ceasefire | :12:33. | :12:34. | |
in Yemen to be Both nations have been providing | :12:35. | :12:36. | |
support to the Saudi-led bombing campaign against Houthi | :12:37. | :12:44. | |
rebels in London. It follows a deadly air strike | :12:45. | :12:45. | |
on a funeral in Yemen a week ago. The Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn has | :12:46. | :12:48. | |
been accused of being in denial about anti-Semitism in the party, | :12:49. | :12:51. | |
after he suggested a critical report The Home Affairs Select Committee | :12:52. | :12:54. | |
says Jewish Labour MPs have been subjected to appalling | :12:55. | :13:00. | |
levels of abuse. This report is scathing in its | :13:01. | :13:14. | |
condemnation of the Labour Party. Yes. When MPs talk about | :13:15. | :13:21. | |
institutional anti-Semitism, you would safely assume they are talking | :13:22. | :13:27. | |
about parties on the far right, but the Home Affairs Committee, | :13:28. | :13:30. | |
including a couple of Labour MPs, said this could be applied to | :13:31. | :13:35. | |
elements of the Labour movement. It criticises other parties as well, | :13:36. | :13:39. | |
but the main focus is on Labour. They took evidence in private from | :13:40. | :13:45. | |
two female Jewish Labour MPs who had to endure 25,000 instances of abuse | :13:46. | :13:48. | |
on social media and received serious threats. They suggest the party was | :13:49. | :13:53. | |
slow to respond to allegations, but he has not been slow to respond to | :13:54. | :14:00. | |
the report, he has called anti-Semitism evil, but he questions | :14:01. | :14:04. | |
the emphasis on Labour what he says 75% of abuse is coming from those on | :14:05. | :14:09. | |
the far right. He said he is seeking an urgent meeting with Facebook and | :14:10. | :14:13. | |
Twitter to tackle the examples of threats and abuse on social media, | :14:14. | :14:17. | |
and his critics see that as a positive step. | :14:18. | :14:26. | |
One in four homes in Britain fails to meet new standards on housing set | :14:27. | :14:30. | |
It points to lack of space, damp and spiralling rents as some | :14:31. | :14:34. | |
The Government says housing is a priority and it's doubling | :14:35. | :14:43. | |
the affordable-housing budget to ?8 billion. | :14:44. | :14:46. | |
Our UK Affairs Correspondent Jeremy Cooke has been to meet some | :14:47. | :14:49. | |
Flats and semis, tower blocks and terraces. | :14:50. | :15:02. | |
But today's report shows that many do not meet the basic standards | :15:03. | :15:05. | |
I get so depressed thinking about it. | :15:06. | :15:12. | |
Ian and Esme's privately rented flat in Bristol fails the new test. | :15:13. | :15:17. | |
There's always something, like. | :15:18. | :15:18. | |
It gets cold quickly so we have to put the heating on quite often. | :15:19. | :15:30. | |
And we get frustrated being on top of each other. | :15:31. | :15:33. | |
I get very depressed about it when I think about it. | :15:34. | :15:35. | |
They are among the 18% of people who live in poor conditions. | :15:36. | :15:46. | |
They've been here for ten years and, after a series of small businesses, | :15:47. | :15:51. | |
This is hardly the dream home they hoped for. | :15:52. | :16:03. | |
Or a country house or something, you know. | :16:04. | :16:13. | |
We had grandiose dreams and clearly they were dreams. | :16:14. | :16:19. | |
The report says 27% of people are worried about the | :16:20. | :16:22. | |
In Harefield, west of London, this two-bedroom council house | :16:23. | :16:29. | |
is now home to three generations of Lisa's family. | :16:30. | :16:34. | |
There's myself, my partner, Jim, my son, Alan, Claire, | :16:35. | :16:39. | |
All the adults have jobs but around here modest wages don't match | :16:40. | :16:46. | |
Claire says her only choice was to move back in with her | :16:47. | :16:51. | |
You haven't got none, we haven't got none. | :16:52. | :16:55. | |
You want to have friends round and you can't have friends | :16:56. | :17:05. | |
round because it's nanny's house, isn't it. | :17:06. | :17:11. | |
She spent a couple of years at a friends place | :17:12. | :17:16. | |
just outside the borough and that disqualifies her from applying for | :17:17. | :17:19. | |
Renting privately has also proved impossible. | :17:20. | :17:27. | |
It's the rules of the letting agents. | :17:28. | :17:34. | |
There's a lot of money and you're thinking, | :17:35. | :17:35. | |
I'd need part housing benefit to help me pay my | :17:36. | :17:42. | |
Like Claire, 58% of young adults live in homes that fail the | :17:43. | :17:46. | |
The property is tiny and in very bad repair. | :17:47. | :17:50. | |
Back in Bristol, Esme and Ian are also | :17:51. | :17:53. | |
I was quite hopeful at first but now I'm thinking, oh, | :17:54. | :17:59. | |
But it all looks like a hopeless task. | :18:00. | :18:03. | |
73% of Londoners' homes fail the new test. | :18:04. | :18:11. | |
For Claire, an office worker, and her sons, | :18:12. | :18:16. | |
Every night, they sleep on the living room floor. | :18:17. | :18:42. | |
They will spend 30 days on board, testing its ability to support life. | :18:43. | :18:47. | |
With all the sport, here's the BBC Sport Centre. | :18:48. | :18:53. | |
Andy Murray says the last few months have been the best of his career. | :18:54. | :18:58. | |
The Wimbledon and Olympic champion has won back-to-back titles in China | :18:59. | :19:01. | |
He won the Shanghai Masters today, and if the winning run continues | :19:02. | :19:05. | |
he could knock Novak Djokovic off of the top of the world rankings. | :19:06. | :19:11. | |
The world is watching a thrilling tennis competition, | :19:12. | :19:13. | |
and it is not simply Andy Murray against Roberto Bautista Agut. | :19:14. | :19:15. | |
That was the final in Shanghai, which had some wonderful moments. | :19:16. | :19:19. | |
Enough in this rally to make the crowd gasp. | :19:20. | :19:23. | |
Tie-break in the first set, Andy Murray lost one point. | :19:24. | :19:39. | |
His opponent beat Novak Djokovic in the semifinal. | :19:40. | :19:42. | |
As Andy Murray swept through the second set, | :19:43. | :19:44. | |
he was closing the gap on the world number one. | :19:45. | :19:48. | |
Murray has not conceded a set for a month, he looks back | :19:49. | :19:53. | |
Quite a different team this year, with Ivan Lendl and Jamie. | :19:54. | :20:06. | |
Since the French Open it has been the best three months of my career. | :20:07. | :20:13. | |
6-1 in the second set, his sixth title of the year. | :20:14. | :20:18. | |
Prizes mean ranking points, and by the end of it he might just | :20:19. | :20:22. | |
Mark Cavendish has missed out on a second world road-race title. | :20:23. | :20:33. | |
The British rider was runner-up to the reigning | :20:34. | :20:35. | |
Cavendish was one of the favourites on the 160-mile course but says | :20:36. | :20:40. | |
he got his tactics wrong in Qatar, and he was pipped by the Slovakian, | :20:41. | :20:44. | |
who is the first rider in nine years to retain | :20:45. | :20:47. | |
There were two matches in the Premier League today. | :20:48. | :20:54. | |
Watford's trip to the Riverside Stadium saw them beat Middlesbrough. | :20:55. | :20:57. | |
There was only one goal, Jose Holevas the second-half match | :20:58. | :21:00. | |
That lifted the Hornets into the top half of the table. | :21:01. | :21:03. | |
Boro are yet to win at home this season and are just | :21:04. | :21:06. | |
above the relegation zone on goal difference. | :21:07. | :21:08. | |
And Southampton are up to eighth after they beat | :21:09. | :21:11. | |
Charlie Austin scored twice but Nathan Redmond got the best | :21:12. | :21:15. | |
The Munster head coach and former Ireland captain Anthony Foley died | :21:16. | :21:23. | |
overnight in Paris ahead of the team's match against Racing 92. | :21:24. | :21:28. | |
The 42-year-old won 62 caps for Ireland in a ten-year | :21:29. | :21:31. | |
Ireland's President Michael D Higgins called him "one | :21:32. | :21:37. | |
of the great figures of Irish sport in the modern era". | :21:38. | :21:40. | |
He captained Munster when they became European | :21:41. | :21:41. | |
That match in Paris was understandably postponed | :21:42. | :21:47. | |
Exeter Chiefs and Clermont Auvergne held a minute's silence | :21:48. | :21:52. | |
before their European Champions Cup game at Sandy Park. | :21:53. | :21:55. | |
Clermont scored five tries to Exeter's one. | :21:56. | :21:58. | |
The former Bath full-back Nick Abendanon was one of | :21:59. | :22:01. | |
