The US and Russia agreed to extend the ceasefire in Syria by 48 hours. | :00:10. | :00:22. | |
We will have a report from Aleppo. to rising nationalism | :00:23. | :00:24. | |
as the president of the European | :00:25. | :00:27. | |
Commission gives his State A damning verdict on Britain's | :00:28. | :00:29. | |
intervention in Libya, huge instability and the rise | :00:30. | :00:37. | |
of so-called Islamic State in North Colin Powell, the Secretary of State | :00:38. | :00:39. | |
under George W Bush called Donald Trump a national disgrace, | :00:40. | :00:49. | |
according to leaked e-mails. Brazil's former leader is now facing | :00:50. | :00:58. | |
corruption charges. Hello, the US and Russia have agreed | :00:59. | :01:22. | |
to extend the truce in Syria by another 48 hours. The cessation of | :01:23. | :01:26. | |
facilities has been in effect for two days and monitors the no | :01:27. | :01:31. | |
civilian deaths have occurred. The United Nations says it still has not | :01:32. | :01:35. | |
been able to deliver humanitarian aid to areas of the country. UN | :01:36. | :01:39. | |
trucks are waiting for the go-ahead to make the journey from the Turkish | :01:40. | :01:45. | |
border to Aleppo. Lorries full of Russian aid have reached | :01:46. | :01:50. | |
government-held areas. The lull in fighting has revealed the extent of | :01:51. | :01:54. | |
damage done to many rebel held areas. One in particular is this | :01:55. | :01:59. | |
neighbourhood in north-western Aleppo which was held by rebels in | :02:00. | :02:04. | |
the summer. It was retaken by the government. Our reporter has just | :02:05. | :02:12. | |
been there. This place is to the west of Aleppo. It has been | :02:13. | :02:20. | |
absolutely pulverised. I suspect a lot of this was the work of the | :02:21. | :02:27. | |
Russian air force. Rebels, the Army is telling me, held this place until | :02:28. | :02:33. | |
July of this year. Then in what was a huge display of firepower, they | :02:34. | :02:38. | |
were driven out. From the government point of view this was an important | :02:39. | :02:42. | |
moment because from this area, rebels were able to fire down onto | :02:43. | :02:49. | |
the west side of Aleppo. You can only guess what happened to the | :02:50. | :02:53. | |
people who originally lived in these houses. There is the remains of a | :02:54. | :02:58. | |
school over there, I can see cheers. There is an ambulance. It is in a | :02:59. | :03:06. | |
bad state. I suppose they have swelled the numbers of those who | :03:07. | :03:11. | |
have lost their homes, half of the prewar population of Syria is either | :03:12. | :03:15. | |
refugees outside the country or displaced within it. The Middle East | :03:16. | :03:21. | |
is in a process of profound historical change. It is the result | :03:22. | :03:30. | |
of a century of misrule, disastrous foreign interventions, stagnation | :03:31. | :03:34. | |
and repression and this war is part of that. No wonder it is so hard to | :03:35. | :03:42. | |
stop. Jeremy Bowen, BBC News, Aleppo. | :03:43. | :03:45. | |
Jean Claude Juncker, the president of the | :03:46. | :03:47. | |
European commission said the | :03:48. | :03:48. | |
EU is in crisis but he stressed he does not believe its future is at | :03:49. | :03:52. | |
risk after Britain's decision to leave. | :03:53. | :03:54. | |
Part of his address dealed with splits. | :03:55. | :03:56. | |
Mr Juncker said the EU was to a degree in an existential crisis. | :03:57. | :04:38. | |
Think migration, eurozone and cross-border terror. The EU vote -- | :04:39. | :04:45. | |
the UK vote on the -- to eat is the biggest blow yet. Brexit was given | :04:46. | :04:50. | |
little mention today. His intended message, we will be fine with O2. | :04:51. | :04:55. | |
The European Parliament Brexit negotiator put this point. Stop the | :04:56. | :05:01. | |
politics of division and take this opportunity not to kill Europe as | :05:02. | :05:05. | |
some of you want but to bring it back. Thank you. But when the EU and | :05:06. | :05:14. | |
UK/ out their new relationship, Mr Juncker are so -- insisted European | :05:15. | :05:17. | |
principles were not up for negotiation. The UK would not get | :05:18. | :05:23. | |
good access to the European single market if it imposed entry limits on | :05:24. | :05:31. | |
European workers. Q Nigel Farage. The two men are famous year for | :05:32. | :05:37. | |
their testing relationship. If you stick to the dogma of saying that | :05:38. | :05:42. | |
for reciprocal tariff free access for the single market we must | :05:43. | :05:46. | |
maintain the free movement of people, you will inevitably drive us | :05:47. | :05:52. | |
towards no deal. Jean Claude Juncker's state of the union speech | :05:53. | :05:57. | |
today is supposed to mark new beginnings following the British | :05:58. | :06:00. | |
vote to leave but instead it highlighted the EU's biggest | :06:01. | :06:07. | |
headache. Now start date and the lack of clarity around Brexit on the | :06:08. | :06:11. | |
one hand and a real fear inside the parliament that the voters out the | :06:12. | :06:15. | |
across Europe no longer trust or believe in the EU. Perhaps that is | :06:16. | :06:21. | |
also part of a bigger process. The problem is the loss of trust of | :06:22. | :06:27. | |
ordinary citizens. Ordinary citizens, working hard and playing | :06:28. | :06:31. | |
by the rules do not feel respected. Not only by the European union, look | :06:32. | :06:38. | |
great -- work worldwide. Look at the election campaign in the United | :06:39. | :06:44. | |
States. Brussels bureaucrats, bankers and politicians, growing | :06:45. | :06:48. | |
numbers of voters distrust what they say is a self-serving elite. The EU | :06:49. | :06:54. | |
needs reform to become more relevant but that is little agreement in | :06:55. | :06:56. | |
these corridors about how to do that. Mr Younger also used his | :06:57. | :07:03. | |
speech to propose a military headquarters to be set up. He said | :07:04. | :07:09. | |
we do not have a permanent structure.... | :07:10. | :07:18. | |
Not everyone is happy about the proposal, the Ukip MEP Nigel Farage | :07:19. | :07:29. | |
treated. Let us look at what he had to say. He said... We wanted to find | :07:30. | :07:46. | |
out if an EU army was likely, I turn to our defence and diplomatic | :07:47. | :07:51. | |
correspondent. Even Nato doesn't have an army. It has individual | :07:52. | :07:56. | |
troops from different countries who are trained to come together in a | :07:57. | :08:03. | |
crisis. If that is what Mr Yunker is looking forward to in a European | :08:04. | :08:08. | |
context by his standards it is not unreasonable. You're not going to | :08:09. | :08:16. | |
see and EU army as such. The problem is people will say there are already | :08:17. | :08:22. | |
European-wide arrangements involving Nato which involve Canada and the | :08:23. | :08:27. | |
United States as well. Certainly his critics will be fearful of anything | :08:28. | :08:32. | |
which uses up skiers defence resources by duplicating what Nato | :08:33. | :08:38. | |
is doing. End of the to and fro and political debate, there is a lot of | :08:39. | :08:46. | |
froth from the former Ukip leader for instance, the great problem is | :08:47. | :08:49. | |
the Russians are watching from the sidelines. The other field of | :08:50. | :08:53. | |
critics is that as the Russians watched all of this taking place, | :08:54. | :08:58. | |
will there be any sense that they need is weakened as the perception | :08:59. | :09:05. | |
that the West of standing firmly together is weakened? That has been | :09:06. | :09:10. | |
the bedrock of European security since the Second World War. We have | :09:11. | :09:17. | |
just heard in the last couple of hours from Brazil that prosecutors | :09:18. | :09:23. | |
have lodged charges against the former president Lula da Silva. | :09:24. | :09:29. | |
There was talk about and scandal at the state owned oil company. He has | :09:30. | :09:36. | |
rejected accusations. Let us go to our correspondent. The accusations | :09:37. | :09:41. | |
are being presented in a press conference right now. There has not | :09:42. | :09:44. | |
been a lot of new things said which we didn't know already. Lula da | :09:45. | :09:51. | |
Silva is being accused of receiving favours from a construction company. | :09:52. | :09:54. | |
This company got lucrative deals with the oil company. He has denied | :09:55. | :10:00. | |
all these charges. It has been on the news for quite some time. Now he | :10:01. | :10:07. | |
will have to defend himself. The charges are being presented now and | :10:08. | :10:12. | |
the judge is likely to rule on them. If they are excepted, he will be | :10:13. | :10:16. | |
tried and it will be a massive trial. It is only weeks after his | :10:17. | :10:21. | |
successor was impeached, a time of massive upheaval? Exactly. This | :10:22. | :10:29. | |
story has a lot to do with that impeachment because Lula Da Silva is | :10:30. | :10:35. | |
the only major political force who is seen as someone who can fight for | :10:36. | :10:40. | |
the legacy of the workers party. That ended with the impeachment of | :10:41. | :10:46. | |
the president. No opinion polls suggest that he would be a strong | :10:47. | :10:52. | |
political force for 2018 so in order to protect our legacy he will have | :10:53. | :10:55. | |
to clear his name from these allegations. How widespread is the | :10:56. | :11:05. | |
corruption inquiry? There are hundreds of politicians, business | :11:06. | :11:10. | |
people, some of Brazil's most powerful businessmen are behind bars | :11:11. | :11:15. | |
because of this investigation. It has been proven that billions of | :11:16. | :11:19. | |
dollars were siphoned off and it is by far the largest corruption scale | :11:20. | :11:25. | |
and that -- corruption in Brazilian history. Lula da Silva and many | :11:26. | :11:32. | |
other top politicians are actually going to trial and we will say how | :11:33. | :11:36. | |
guilty these top politicians were. Thank you Daniel. I new way of | :11:37. | :11:46. | |
having a baby? Scientists discover it may be possible to fertilise | :11:47. | :11:56. | |
cells instead of eggs. Pauline Cafferkey, the Scottish nurse who | :11:57. | :12:02. | |
survives Ebola has been cleared of professional misconduct. She faced | :12:03. | :12:07. | |
charges of learning the wrong temperature to be recorded on | :12:08. | :12:11. | |
returning to the UK from Sierra Leone. The panel ruled her judgment | :12:12. | :12:16. | |
had been appeared by illness. Her lawyer spoke for her after the | :12:17. | :12:21. | |
hearing. Public health was unprepared for the volume of people | :12:22. | :12:25. | |
returning to the country affected by the outbreak. There were serious | :12:26. | :12:29. | |
abuse of communication amongst Public Health England staff. It is | :12:30. | :12:36. | |
ironic that the public health England processors which led to the | :12:37. | :12:42. | |
investigation and proceedings being initiated against polling. No doubt | :12:43. | :12:47. | |
lessons have been learned. Pauline has been motivated by a genuine | :12:48. | :12:51. | |
desire to help people throughout her career even to the extent of putting | :12:52. | :12:56. | |
her life at risk. She would never knowingly have put anyone in danger. | :12:57. | :13:04. | |
You are with Outside Source live from the BBC newsroom. Our top | :13:05. | :13:08. | |
story, the US and Russia have agreed to extend this area -- the ceasefire | :13:09. | :13:15. | |
in Syria by 48 hours. Monitors report there have been no civilian | :13:16. | :13:20. | |
deaths. Other headlines around the BBC, doctors treating Shimon Peres | :13:21. | :13:28. | |
said his condition has improved marginally but it is still series | :13:29. | :13:33. | |
since he suffered a stroke on Tuesday. That is on BBC World | :13:34. | :13:38. | |
Service. BBC Chinese reports that tens of thousands of homes are | :13:39. | :13:43. | |
without power in Taiwan after it was hit by a typhoon, the strongest in | :13:44. | :13:49. | |
the world so far. It forced schools and businesses to close reading to | :13:50. | :13:53. | |
flight cancellations and a trail of damage. A British Parliamentary | :13:54. | :13:59. | |
committee has criticised the UK's military intervention in Libya in | :14:00. | :14:05. | |
2011, accusing David Cameron of pursuing an opportune policy of | :14:06. | :14:09. | |
regime change in removing Colonel Gaddafi. The report says the result | :14:10. | :14:16. | |
was little and economic collapse into tribal warfare and migrant | :14:17. | :14:22. | |
crisis. It said the UK strategy was founded on erroneous assumptions... | :14:23. | :14:29. | |
The British involvement began with bombing back in March 2011 to stop | :14:30. | :14:33. | |
the fighting in Benghazi. David Cameron went there a few months | :14:34. | :14:36. | |
later and this is what he said at the time. It is great to be hear in | :14:37. | :14:45. | |
three Benghazi and in free Libya. Your city, your city was an | :14:46. | :14:53. | |
inspiration to the world as you threw off a dictator and chose | :14:54. | :14:58. | |
freedom. After that fighting spread across the country with no rebel | :14:59. | :15:03. | |
forces closing in on Colonel Gaddafi who was eventually killed seven | :15:04. | :15:10. | |
months later in his hometown. This is roughly what Libya looks like | :15:11. | :15:11. | |
now. The country is divided. Seen in pink is Islamic State, the | :15:12. | :15:27. | |
area they are in control of, and they are in control of Benghazi, | :15:28. | :15:32. | |
where we saw David Cameron speaking. It is very confusing so I turned to | :15:33. | :15:36. | |
a correspondent to find out if this is a worst-case scenario. | :15:37. | :15:40. | |
Back in 2011, the whole of the region was going through a momentous | :15:41. | :15:46. | |
time. Six countries had a wave of synchronised upheavals, revolts | :15:47. | :15:50. | |
against despots. None of the stories in these six countries ended happy | :15:51. | :15:56. | |
way. So, in Libya, it was total meltdown afterwords. Downhill all | :15:57. | :15:59. | |
the way. The people we have talked to today from Libya, Libyans who | :16:00. | :16:07. | |
have lived through all of this, some of them are saying you have amnesia. | :16:08. | :16:12. | |
You forgot what Gaddafi was really like. He was going to demolish | :16:13. | :16:14. | |
Benghazi, he was going to go the massacre and the need to | :16:15. | :16:17. | |
interference came in time. Critics of the operation, on the other hand, | :16:18. | :16:23. | |
say that the UN security mandate at the time was for protecting | :16:24. | :16:27. | |
civilians, not regime change, and what happened is this Nato operation | :16:28. | :16:33. | |
escalated and became sort a systematic destruction of Gaddafi's | :16:34. | :16:36. | |
army until the rebels managed to take over. There were warnings at | :16:37. | :16:41. | |
the time that among these rebels there are hardline Islamists who | :16:42. | :16:44. | |
could pose a danger in the future of the country. These warnings were not | :16:45. | :16:50. | |
heeded, and this is partly... Part of the mess that Libya is suffering | :16:51. | :16:53. | |
from today. Who is in control right now? | :16:54. | :16:59. | |
You have a major split. You have an internationally recognised | :17:00. | :17:01. | |
government in the capital, Tripoli. But you have two other governments, | :17:02. | :17:06. | |
one in the East, which is not willing to support this government | :17:07. | :17:11. | |
in Tripoli. And you have some factions in the West who are not | :17:12. | :17:17. | |
fully on board. But you have no two big forces, military forces, | :17:18. | :17:21. | |
emerging on the ground, the two military forces that probably will | :17:22. | :17:25. | |
have the decisive, sort of, determining factor in the end. You | :17:26. | :17:30. | |
have the brigade 's leading the fight against Islamic State, and you | :17:31. | :17:36. | |
have the renegade self-styled general who is saying that he | :17:37. | :17:41. | |
represents, what he calls, the Libyan army. And these are the two | :17:42. | :17:47. | |
forces that are emerging as the two military heavyweights on the ground. | :17:48. | :17:51. | |
What will happen is anybody's guess but the international community is | :17:52. | :17:54. | |
calling for all sides to support the central government as the only | :17:55. | :17:57. | |
option for this country to stabilise and pick itself up again. | :17:58. | :18:02. | |
Now, the German Chancellor Angela Merkel is under pressure to | :18:03. | :18:06. | |
integrate more than 1 million asylum seekers. One way she is going to do | :18:07. | :18:09. | |
that is asking business leaders across the country to employ more | :18:10. | :18:12. | |
refugees. Tonight, she is meeting bosses from farms like car-makers | :18:13. | :18:23. | |
OPL and engineering firm Siemens. Hamburger, a city used to change. It | :18:24. | :18:32. | |
is rich -- its rich wealth has flowed in through the port. Even so, | :18:33. | :18:36. | |
for Hamburger, for Germany, it has been a year like no other. A | :18:37. | :18:43. | |
turbulent time as well for Abdul. He is one of more than 30,000 refugees | :18:44. | :18:48. | |
living in the city. But already he has phoned friends, a home, even a | :18:49. | :18:53. | |
job. What does it mean for your future, being able to work here? For | :18:54. | :18:58. | |
my future, I have to build my future step-by-step. So it is a first step | :18:59. | :19:04. | |
for my future. So, for example, it is a first stone if you have a big | :19:05. | :19:09. | |
house. You have to put the first stone. This country has ambitions as | :19:10. | :19:15. | |
well. The population is ageing fast, Germany needs new workers. Ministers | :19:16. | :19:19. | |
want half of the new arrivals in jobs within five years. | :19:20. | :19:26. | |
THE SPEAKER GERMAN Is easier said than done. There are | :19:27. | :19:31. | |
not enough German teachers. These new arrivals do not know if they | :19:32. | :19:36. | |
will be a allowed to settle long-term. For Hamburg, and for | :19:37. | :19:40. | |
Germany, it is a big investment with few guarantees. TRANSLATION: We are | :19:41. | :19:46. | |
not naive. We do not think people are right and fitting immediately. | :19:47. | :19:49. | |
It is hard work but we have no alternative. We are an ageing | :19:50. | :19:53. | |
society, this immigration is happening. Either we turn this into | :19:54. | :20:01. | |
a success of chance for our society we fail. Uncertain times, one third | :20:02. | :20:04. | |
of Hamburg's refugees are still in temporary accommodation. | :20:05. | :20:08. | |
TRANSLATION: Without work, it is very hard. I have to learn more | :20:09. | :20:12. | |
Germans that I can get a job. Without work, I do not have enough | :20:13. | :20:18. | |
money for a life. TRANSLATION: It is hard, a different culture, a | :20:19. | :20:22. | |
different mentality. Bet you have a name, if you learn German quickly, | :20:23. | :20:29. | |
you have a chance for a job, for a life. 'S practical problems with | :20:30. | :20:32. | |
political consequences. There is a general election next year. This | :20:33. | :20:36. | |
country is changing. Its Chancellor, Angela Merkel, is under pressure | :20:37. | :20:40. | |
like never before. She has to convince a nervous electorate that | :20:41. | :20:43. | |
Germany can integrate well over 1 million refugees. The trouble is | :20:44. | :20:49. | |
that is going to take time, and German voters are running out of | :20:50. | :20:55. | |
patience. Changing communities, shifting | :20:56. | :20:58. | |
politics. Germany must decide on its future course. | :20:59. | :21:06. | |
Now, our next story we have covered by the bed, the bed by a | :21:07. | :21:13. | |
pharmaceutical giant to buy Monsanto. Well, the record-breaking | :21:14. | :21:16. | |
offer of 66 billion offer was accepted. Our correspondent tweeted | :21:17. | :21:27. | |
when the news broke... Well, let's get more from our correspondent in | :21:28. | :21:35. | |
New York. They were rejected twice. Bayer finally got what it has been | :21:36. | :21:39. | |
lusting after for so long. Yes, that is right. We have | :21:40. | :21:42. | |
certainly talked about this on this programme many times before but I | :21:43. | :21:45. | |
think it is important to address what the deal was tweeting about in | :21:46. | :21:51. | |
terms of what would be controversial. -- what our | :21:52. | :21:53. | |
correspondent was tweeting about. This is going to have to get to | :21:54. | :21:57. | |
regulators and when you are seeing such a giant tie-up between these | :21:58. | :22:01. | |
two companies, it is certainly going to have regulators asking questions | :22:02. | :22:04. | |
in terms of whether it is going to be too big and whether it is going | :22:05. | :22:08. | |
to hamper competition. That is really the next step. But one of the | :22:09. | :22:11. | |
other issues that really comes up is something that we are seeing is | :22:12. | :22:22. | |
actually in Europe, and it has to do with Monsanto and the fact that they | :22:23. | :22:25. | |
use a lot of pesticides and herbicides and these kinds of seeds | :22:26. | :22:28. | |
that have long been used here in the United States but has certainly been | :22:29. | :22:30. | |
drawing a lot of criticism from environmentalists in the United | :22:31. | :22:34. | |
Kingdom and elsewhere in Europe. Presumably, with this tie-up, you | :22:35. | :22:38. | |
will be seeing some of those pesticides making their way into | :22:39. | :22:40. | |
European farms. Thank you very much. | :22:41. | :22:48. | |
Gadgets we can use to control our lives are big business in the tech | :22:49. | :22:52. | |
world. How about a boy scandal speaker that can answer questions | :22:53. | :22:58. | |
and link into dozens of third-party services? -- how about a voice | :22:59. | :23:05. | |
controlled speaker. The big new thing in technology is | :23:06. | :23:09. | |
talking to our devices. We are getting used to devise assistance on | :23:10. | :23:14. | |
smartphones, but arguably the most is sophisticated new device is a | :23:15. | :23:20. | |
speaker. It is called the Amazon Echo and it is coming to the UK. The | :23:21. | :23:24. | |
voice inside call the legs and I have been living with her for six | :23:25. | :23:28. | |
months, having brought one home from America. She cannot make the coffee | :23:29. | :23:35. | |
but the Echo can provide information on some services. What is the news? | :23:36. | :23:44. | |
BBC news... Alexa, stop. Alexa, ask Jude status of the district line is | :23:45. | :23:50. | |
running. The district line has minor delays. So far we have seen it | :23:51. | :23:53. | |
provides a lot of information you could get from a simple search | :23:54. | :23:56. | |
engine, but what is more interesting is controlling things around your | :23:57. | :24:02. | |
home. Alexa, ask the thermostat to set the temperature to 16 degrees. | :24:03. | :24:09. | |
Said the debit to 16 in the hallway. Let's try something more | :24:10. | :24:13. | |
complicated. Which is taller? The Eiffel Tower Empire State Building? | :24:14. | :24:17. | |
The Empire State Building is taller than the adults are. The Echo can be | :24:18. | :24:22. | |
clunky but what is sophisticated is the weird response to those | :24:23. | :24:30. | |
questions. If I asked Google or Siri that same question, I would get a | :24:31. | :24:34. | |
couple of where will links. But both are moving forward. Siri is moving | :24:35. | :24:40. | |
on to other devices in the home. As for Google, do not underestimate it. | :24:41. | :24:44. | |
After all, Google now knows an awful lot about it you should all stop OK, | :24:45. | :24:49. | |
Google, how long will it take me to get to work? There is every traffic | :24:50. | :24:53. | |
on the way to work so it will take about 37 minutes. Alexa, who is | :24:54. | :25:00. | |
better, you Siri? Siri is a great app but I am different. Very | :25:01. | :25:04. | |
diplomatic! I am still not convinced. | :25:05. | :25:09. | |
Chelsea Manning, formerly known as Bradley, is the American soldier who | :25:10. | :25:14. | |
released thousands of documents to the document WikiLeaks, for which | :25:15. | :25:18. | |
she was convicted in 2013. Today, Chelsea Manning ended her hunger | :25:19. | :25:24. | |
strike after the US Army agreed to provide her with gender transition | :25:25. | :25:27. | |
survey. Psychologists had recommended in April that she should | :25:28. | :25:31. | |
receive the treatment. Let's just bring you what she said. She said," | :25:32. | :25:34. | |
I am unendingly relieved... The US Army has declined to comment. | :25:35. | :25:49. | |
There is lots more on that story on our website. Stay with us, we have | :25:50. | :25:54. | |
got the very latest on the US presidential campaign coming up. | :25:55. | :26:10. | |
Good evening. We are now in the peak of the | :26:11. | :26:11. |
