Syrian state television says buses have entered the rebel-held enclave | :00:20. | :00:25. | |
in eastern Aleppo to enable the evacuation of thousands | :00:26. | :00:28. | |
of people said to be living in desperate conditions. | :00:29. | :00:32. | |
This follows reports of a deal having been | :00:33. | :00:35. | |
agreed between the rebels and pro-Government forces. | :00:36. | :00:36. | |
More buses assembled on the outskirts of eastern Aleppo this | :00:37. | :00:45. | |
morning amid signs this on/off evacuation would continue. | :00:46. | :00:49. | |
Red Cross vehicles could also be seen waiting to go into the city. | :00:50. | :00:53. | |
The Syrian state news agency said they would supervise the operation | :00:54. | :00:56. | |
to bring civilians out of rebel areas. | :00:57. | :00:59. | |
But that hasn't been officially confirmed. | :01:00. | :01:03. | |
Smoke over the city underlined how tense this process has become, | :01:04. | :01:06. | |
Caught in the middle are tens of thousands of people | :01:07. | :01:15. | |
in the besieged eastern part of the city. | :01:16. | :01:17. | |
In the past week, they've been told to prepare to leave, | :01:18. | :01:20. | |
gathered at assembly points and then forced to return home | :01:21. | :01:22. | |
Fewer than 10,000 people are thought to have gone so far, | :01:23. | :01:28. | |
just a fraction of the total still trapped here. | :01:29. | :01:33. | |
One reason for the delay has been the status of two Shia villages | :01:34. | :01:36. | |
The Syrian Government says people from Foua and Kefraya must be | :01:37. | :01:41. | |
allowed to leave as part of the process. | :01:42. | :01:45. | |
Across Europe, thousands have demanded western nations play a more | :01:46. | :01:48. | |
They want to ensure the protection of the evacuees and those | :01:49. | :01:53. | |
The UN will consider those issues today but whether Russia will accept | :01:54. | :01:58. | |
But in Government-held western Aleppo where many back President | :01:59. | :02:07. | |
Assad, there is relief their city is no longer on the frontline. | :02:08. | :02:12. | |
TRANSLATION: We hope the ceasefire will pass without any problems. | :02:13. | :02:15. | |
We hope all the gunmen will leave and go back to where they came from. | :02:16. | :02:19. | |
they displaceed all the people and destroyed all of Aleppo. | :02:20. | :02:28. | |
The evacuation buses have now been seen moving into eastern Aleppo | :02:29. | :02:32. | |
to continue the operation but this is still a complex and dangerous | :02:33. | :02:36. | |
process which has failed before and could fail again. | :02:37. | :02:42. | |
The International Trade Secretary, Liam Fox, has said he will tell | :02:43. | :02:47. | |
the Cabinet in private whether or not the UK should stay | :02:48. | :02:50. | |
inside the European Customs Union after Brexit. | :02:51. | :02:58. | |
He head he was instinctively a free trader and would have his say in | :02:59. | :03:03. | |
Cabinet. British businesses approach the end | :03:04. | :03:11. | |
of the year with large elements of doubt hanging over future customs | :03:12. | :03:16. | |
arrangements, such as whether a future trade deal would bring more. | :03:17. | :03:21. | |
The international Trade Secretary left open the possibility we could | :03:22. | :03:26. | |
remain a part of the EU customs union. We need to look at all the | :03:27. | :03:31. | |
options. Are you keen to stay inside the customs union? The reason I ask | :03:32. | :03:38. | |
that and I want to put this in a non-confrontational way, if we do, | :03:39. | :03:41. | |
we can't do international trade deals of the kind your department | :03:42. | :03:45. | |
was was set up to create and in a sense there is no point in Liam Fox. | :03:46. | :03:52. | |
There would be limitations on what we could do in terms of tariff | :03:53. | :03:57. | |
setting. The customs union includes all 28 EU nations but also Turkey, | :03:58. | :04:04. | |
Monaco, San Marino and Andorra. All can trade Frielly with each other | :04:05. | :04:09. | |
but must impose the same tariffs on nations from outside the customs | :04:10. | :04:14. | |
union. They are barred from doing bilateral trade deals with other | :04:15. | :04:18. | |
countries. Now only a back-seat driver to Cabinet discussions former | :04:19. | :04:21. | |
Chancellor George Osborne was asked what type of trade deal there should | :04:22. | :04:26. | |
be. We should do this on the basis a of a hard-headed assessment of what | :04:27. | :04:29. | |
is in our national and economic interest. So yes it's true that the | :04:30. | :04:34. | |
grass may be greener outside of those arrangements, and we may be | :04:35. | :04:38. | |
able to conduct new free trade deals with Australia and the United States | :04:39. | :04:44. | |
and so on, but that shouldn't come at a price of giving up the existing | :04:45. | :04:48. | |
free trade arrangements we have with Germany and France. And do you think | :04:49. | :04:53. | |
we can keep those? Well, that's where I would be starting from. You | :04:54. | :04:58. | |
can't say we are a beacon of free trade in the world and you achieve a | :04:59. | :05:02. | |
huge act of protectionism, the biggest in British history. So | :05:03. | :05:06. | |
despite hearing from one of the Brexit big hitters today we are no | :05:07. | :05:11. | |
closer to knowing what kind of trade deal is likely to be on the table or | :05:12. | :05:13. | |
even what options are off it. A suicide bomber has killed at least | :05:14. | :05:18. | |
40 soldiers in the southern The Islamic State group says it | :05:19. | :05:21. | |
carried out the attack, which targeted a crowd of soldiers | :05:22. | :05:26. | |
as they were queueing up to receive their salaries | :05:27. | :05:29. | |
near a military base. It's the latest in a string | :05:30. | :05:31. | |
of such attacks targeting A week ago, Islamic State militants | :05:32. | :05:33. | |
killed 50 troops in Aden, of the internationally recognised | :05:34. | :05:37. | |
Government of Yemen. Palestinian officials say Israeli | :05:38. | :05:44. | |
soldiers have shot dead an Arab teenager during a confrontation | :05:45. | :05:46. | |
in the West Bank. Hundreds of people have | :05:47. | :05:50. | |
attended his funeral Palestinian officials say | :05:51. | :05:55. | |
the shooting took place and were confronted by youths | :05:56. | :05:58. | |
throwing stones. The Israeli military says security | :05:59. | :06:01. | |
forces were responding The Government says it plans to make | :06:02. | :06:03. | |
all civil servants and holders of public office swear an oath | :06:04. | :06:09. | |
to uphold British values. The Communities Secretary, | :06:10. | :06:12. | |
Sajid Javid, says he wants people to set an example by embracing | :06:13. | :06:16. | |
concepts of tolerance, But Labour says that making people | :06:17. | :06:18. | |
swear an oath to British values would make "no difference" to the | :06:19. | :06:25. | |
problems of radicalisation What's the background to this In | :06:26. | :06:35. | |
there are two words at the heart of this issue and they are community | :06:36. | :06:40. | |
and cohesion. A Government commissioned report came out and it | :06:41. | :06:45. | |
was highly critical of the situation on community cohesion. He said there | :06:46. | :06:50. | |
were some communities living in isolated bubbles of ethnic | :06:51. | :06:54. | |
segregation. Amongst many other recommendations it suggested there | :06:55. | :07:00. | |
should interest oaths of allegiance for new migrants and those in | :07:01. | :07:04. | |
leadership positions in civil life, public life. They should vow to | :07:05. | :07:08. | |
uphold values of tolerance and freedom of speech. What the | :07:09. | :07:11. | |
Communities Secretary appears to have done is fully embrace those two | :07:12. | :07:14. | |
recommendations but go further on the second. He wants to go beyond | :07:15. | :07:19. | |
leaders in civil life and have school governors, local councillors | :07:20. | :07:22. | |
and, potentially, lead that on to extend it to staff in places like | :07:23. | :07:26. | |
the NHS and even the BBC. Angus, thank you. | :07:27. | :07:31. | |
A group of MPs says the Government must not use the introduction | :07:32. | :07:33. | |
of new mayors across England next year to shirk its responsibility | :07:34. | :07:36. | |
The Public Accounts Committee says the Government needs | :07:37. | :07:40. | |
to make clear who is spending taxpayers' money and where | :07:41. | :07:42. | |
responsibility lies after the mayors are elected. | :07:43. | :07:46. | |
Ministers say the new roles in seven areas of England will help | :07:47. | :07:49. | |
communities take control of decision making. | :07:50. | :07:54. | |
Thick fog is affecting many parts of the UK, | :07:55. | :07:57. | |
leading to travel disruption for a second day. | :07:58. | :07:59. | |
The Met Office has issued a severe weather warning, | :08:00. | :08:04. | |
with southern England and South Wales expected to be affected | :08:05. | :08:07. | |
Similar conditions on Saturday led to some flight cancellations | :08:08. | :08:11. | |
