The UN says it will resume aid convoys to Syria -

:00:08.:00:16.

The US stands by its accusations that Russia was responsible.

:00:17.:00:33.

The simple reality is we cannot resolve this crisis if the major

:00:34.:00:41.

parties that come to the table and agree to do something are unwell in

:00:42.:00:45.

to do what is necessary to avoid escalation.

:00:46.:00:47.

Antibiotics could soon be completely ineffective.

:00:48.:00:48.

We'll find out what they've got planned.

:00:49.:00:52.

New ways to fight the ivory trade are causing

:00:53.:00:54.

Incredible scenes in North Carolina last night -

:00:55.:01:03.

protests were sparked by the police shooting of a black man by police.

:01:04.:01:09.

And if you want to get in touch about any of the stories -

:01:10.:01:14.

Despite its aid convoy being attacked in Syria on Monday -

:01:15.:01:39.

the UN says it'll try again to get aid into the country.

:01:40.:01:42.

First, the latest on what happened to that convoy.

:01:43.:01:54.

America accuses Russia of bombing it.

:01:55.:01:55.

Their two foreign ministers have been speaking at the UN.

:01:56.:02:05.

According to a spokesman, I quote," neither Russia nor Syria conducted

:02:06.:02:17.

air strikes on the UN humanitarian convoy on the outskirts of Aleppo.

:02:18.:02:21.

Then he went further to say that the damage to the convoy was the direct

:02:22.:02:26.

result of the convoy catching fire. The trucks and the food and the

:02:27.:02:32.

medicine just spontaneously combusted. Anybody here believe

:02:33.:02:38.

that? I mean, this is not a joke. We are in serious business here.

:02:39.:02:44.

TRANSLATION: He insisted on a very thorough and impartial investigation

:02:45.:02:50.

of the attack on the humanitarian convoy. Many said that it could have

:02:51.:02:54.

been a rocket or an artillery shelling, that is what the initial

:02:55.:03:00.

reports were, and then helicopters or warplanes were mentioned. I think

:03:01.:03:04.

we need to refrain from emotional reactions and make comments

:03:05.:03:06.

immediately. While Russia and America

:03:07.:03:09.

are disagreeing, improbably the UN has announced it will again try

:03:10.:03:11.

and move aid into Syria. Here's the UN Special Envoy for

:03:12.:03:14.

Syria in New York with Lyse Doucet. They will be rolling, because the

:03:15.:03:29.

humanitarian need always prevails. People have been waiting for it,

:03:30.:03:37.

carefully and cautiously. They are losing hope, which means really

:03:38.:03:40.

betraying all the Syrians who have been waiting for some good news. But

:03:41.:03:46.

you have seen the mood inside the Security Council. It is really hard

:03:47.:03:50.

to see how it will be picked up, despite the necessity of it. I have

:03:51.:03:55.

seen the difficulties in the Council meetings. It was not the most

:03:56.:04:00.

difficult one. Both Russia and America, while they were actually

:04:01.:04:05.

being quite tense with each other, when you looked at Sergei Lavrov, we

:04:06.:04:10.

still have a chance. But we need both for us to make it work.

:04:11.:04:13.

Steffan de Mistura wants the US and Russia

:04:14.:04:15.

That's looking some way off right now.

:04:16.:04:18.

The Americans not only accuse the Russians of attacking that

:04:19.:04:21.

aid convoy - they say the attack took two hours.

:04:22.:04:23.

For their part, the Russians say it didn't happen at all.

:04:24.:04:26.

They've also released this drone footage.

:04:27.:04:28.

They say it backs up their claims that the rebels were involved.

:04:29.:04:32.

They say the aid convoy is what we can see highlighted in red.

:04:33.:04:36.

And that those are rebel fighters alongside.

:04:37.:04:55.

A newswire came in to the BBC. The US are denying the claim by Russia

:04:56.:05:08.

that a US coalition Predator drone was in the air over an aid convoy.

:05:09.:05:13.

It is said it would have the capacity to carry out the attack.

:05:14.:05:18.

It's complicated, but it illustrates how these two giants of the world

:05:19.:05:22.

are busy arguing over what happened to those two lorries. To get some

:05:23.:05:28.

help to sift through this, I asked the BBC's defence and diplomatic

:05:29.:05:33.

correspondent to join us. The US and Russia both heavily engaged in the

:05:34.:05:38.

air over Syria. Both are monitoring air activity in the region very

:05:39.:05:43.

carefully. The Americans have large airborne controlled aircraft, and

:05:44.:05:50.

the Russian have powerful systems on the ground in Syria. The Americans

:05:51.:05:55.

have not seen their evidence, that they are pointing their finger very

:05:56.:06:01.

firmly at the Russians, whether they be two Russian or two Syrian

:06:02.:06:06.

warplanes. The suggestion is that these aircraft came and went back to

:06:07.:06:10.

the Russian airbase. The fact they were flying in pairs suggests a

:06:11.:06:16.

Russian operation rather than a Syrian one. The fact it was at night

:06:17.:06:20.

suggests it probably wasn't the Syrians. The Russians are totally

:06:21.:06:24.

dismissing this. They are saying they had nothing to do with it, and

:06:25.:06:29.

neither did the Syrians. They are pointing their fingers at the rebels

:06:30.:06:36.

first, but also at the potential of an American drone being in the area.

:06:37.:06:43.

Certainly they can not carried a weapon slow to do anything like the

:06:44.:06:47.

damage caused on the convoys, but I think somebody in this war of words

:06:48.:06:53.

has to come out with some physical evidence to show the track of

:06:54.:06:58.

aircraft if it is to be resolved. In reality, this is a test over who may

:06:59.:07:04.

or may not have done it, but the fact is that the ceasefire is now

:07:05.:07:08.

under greater strain that at any point. These two countries are

:07:09.:07:12.

supposed to be brokering a ceasefire and helping to deliver peace. How

:07:13.:07:18.

bad is the fallout from this attack? Very bad. The trust between Russia

:07:19.:07:23.

and the US, the two main authors of this potential ceasefire, was not

:07:24.:07:28.

good at the outset. It was supposed to lead to a joint air campaign

:07:29.:07:33.

against so-called Islamic State. That looks almost laughable now. The

:07:34.:07:45.

level of trust and tension between Moscow and Washington is great. It

:07:46.:07:48.

is hard to see how the process could be restarted. John Kerry suggested

:07:49.:07:50.

there should be no flights over these areas where humanitarian

:07:51.:07:53.

supplies may be delivered. I'm not sure whether the Russians or the

:07:54.:07:58.

Syrians will agree to that now. The whole process has been put back

:07:59.:08:04.

dramatically. Jonathan talking about the conflict in Syria. Across the

:08:05.:08:09.

hour we will have a report from Iraq, close to the front line, where

:08:10.:08:14.

Kurdish fighters are advancing on Islamic State. We will talk to a BBC

:08:15.:08:18.

reporter who got to a part of Yemen where even aid agencies can't go,

:08:19.:08:25.

because it is too dangerous. We will talk about the impact that conflict

:08:26.:08:26.

will be having on people. We've talked about the threat

:08:27.:08:29.

from drug resistant superbugs They're bacteria that have become

:08:30.:08:31.

immune to antibiotics. It's thought that these untreatable

:08:32.:08:34.

illnesses are responsible That could rise to ten million

:08:35.:08:36.

deaths a year by 2050. The United Nations is set to sign

:08:37.:08:47.

a declaration that it hopes I have been talking to James

:08:48.:09:02.

Gallagher, as I always do on this story, about the details of what the

:09:03.:09:06.

UN is suggesting. There isn't a huge amount of detail. It is very

:09:07.:09:11.

important and symbolic, because we have discussed this thousands of

:09:12.:09:17.

times. 700,000 people already dying every year from drug-resistant and

:09:18.:09:24.

-- illnesses. The UN is taking steps to say they need to deal with this.

:09:25.:09:29.

It is a rare for the UN to deal with health. It did for AIDS, and it did

:09:30.:09:37.

for Ebola a couple of years ago. So it is a big moment. The big plan

:09:38.:09:40.

will come in a couple of years. So this is a symbolic intervention by

:09:41.:09:44.

the UN. What might follow from a plan, even if there is no detail? It

:09:45.:09:50.

may follow plans to increase education so there is more public

:09:51.:09:54.

awareness, plans to increase surveillance over the world. The

:09:55.:09:58.

real detail is how to get drug companies to produce more of these

:09:59.:10:05.

drugs, how to get farmers to stop using antibiotics vital for human

:10:06.:10:09.

health on farmland, and how to stop people like us going to. Does and

:10:10.:10:13.

demanding antibiotics when they don't need them. Does that not boil

:10:14.:10:18.

down to governments and how they instruct their farmers and their

:10:19.:10:22.

health services? It has a global ambition, but it needs to be

:10:23.:10:26.

tailored to each country, because the problems are different in each

:10:27.:10:30.

country. But you need a global solution. We have seen antibiotic

:10:31.:10:36.

resistance spread between countries. It is something that moves around

:10:37.:10:42.

the world. It is important that the UN has come together and said we

:10:43.:10:46.

need to deal with this as a global voice. Each country will have to

:10:47.:10:49.

come up with ways to deal with it individually as well.

:10:50.:10:51.

India is one of the world's largest consumer of antibiotics.

:10:52.:10:54.

Here's Shilpa Kannan Delhi with more.

:10:55.:11:13.

Blood is trying to curb this. It used to be used in some places like

:11:14.:11:22.

central Delhi. I went into many places to try to buy antibiotics

:11:23.:11:27.

without a prescription, and I was refused by everyone of them. The

:11:28.:11:31.

government is not just stopping at that. They have introduced the red

:11:32.:11:36.

Line campaign, which is putting a bright red line on antibiotics,

:11:37.:11:41.

warning people it shouldn't be sold without a proper prescription. Any

:11:42.:11:46.

here are prescribed antibiotics for mild infections when they don't need

:11:47.:11:52.

to be, such as Common colds and flu. Given the high cost of medicine,

:11:53.:12:02.

many people fail to take the whole course of antibiotics. Stopping

:12:03.:12:05.

early could mean that untreated bacteria could turn resistant. India

:12:06.:12:11.

has the highest use of antibiotics and rising resistance to them. One

:12:12.:12:16.

study pointed out that nearly 60,000 newborns die from antibiotic

:12:17.:12:22.

resistant neonatal infections every year.

:12:23.:12:26.

The British government wants to tighten the rules on the sale

:12:27.:12:29.

of modern-day ivory to help stop the slaughter

:12:30.:12:31.

There's already a ban on trading in ivory that's less than 70 years

:12:32.:12:35.

old, but at the moment, dealers can still get permits to sell it

:12:36.:12:38.

Our science editor, David Shukman, has more.

:12:39.:12:44.

A massive bonfire in Kenya earlier this year.

:12:45.:12:47.

The tusks from 6,000 elephants slaughtered by poachers.

:12:48.:12:51.

The killings are triggered by a demand for ivory that

:12:52.:12:54.

So, across the great plains of Africa, entire herds

:12:55.:12:59.

Some populations face a real threat of extinction.

:13:00.:13:05.

So there's huge pressure to clamp down on sales of ivory

:13:06.:13:08.

and today Britain announced that it would do just that.

:13:09.:13:12.

We are taking a very significant step forward,

:13:13.:13:18.

banning all modern ivory trading in the United Kingdom.

:13:19.:13:21.

There is more to do to meet our manifesto commitment.

:13:22.:13:25.

But it does require global concerted action, and so this is a really

:13:26.:13:29.

The new measures will still allow antique ivory to be traded,

:13:30.:13:35.

Only more modern ivory will be banned.

:13:36.:13:40.

Other countries like America have imposed even tougher controls.

:13:41.:13:44.

So antique dealers here are relieved.

:13:45.:13:47.

It's extremely important that all of us in this country and around

:13:48.:13:50.

the world are able to learn and appreciate and enjoy works

:13:51.:13:54.

of art that are part of our shared cultural inheritance.

:13:55.:13:59.

And somehow if you demonize ivory, that particular aspect of our past

:14:00.:14:03.

gets pushed into a cupboard, so to speak.

:14:04.:14:07.

The key with ivory is its age and whether it dates

:14:08.:14:10.

So this piece is at least 200 years old and as a work of art

:14:11.:14:16.

This one, much paler by comparison, dates from the 1970s,

:14:17.:14:23.

so it can't be legally bought or sold.

:14:24.:14:25.

And what matters is telling these apart.

:14:26.:14:29.

The most reliable system is carbon dating.

:14:30.:14:32.

This lab at Oxford University looks for traces of radioactivity.

:14:33.:14:36.

If there aren't any, the ivory is from before

:14:37.:14:38.

But the technique is expensive and conservationists worry

:14:39.:14:43.

the clampdown on trading doesn't go far enough.

:14:44.:14:55.

We welcome the fact that the government has made an announcement

:14:56.:15:01.

is showing an interest in this issue, but our theory is that they

:15:02.:15:06.

are not going to go far enough to really eradicate the ivory trade in

:15:07.:15:10.

this country. The test is whether this stops the slaughter of the

:15:11.:15:15.

elephants. The key is halting demand for ivory, especially in China, and

:15:16.:15:20.

every initiative is supposed to send a signal to the poachers.

:15:21.:15:25.

We have had reports from Syria, India, the UK and the US, and in a

:15:26.:15:30.

few minutes we will turn to Hong Kong. The latest effort to send

:15:31.:15:37.

three of the young men who organised massive anti-Chinese protests in

:15:38.:15:42.

Hong Kong a few years ago, well, they have avoided prison.

:15:43.:15:47.

A coroner has ruled that gross failures by one of England's largest

:15:48.:15:50.

mental health trusts contributed to the death of a teenage patient.

:15:51.:15:53.

Christopher Brennan was 15 when he died at the Bethlem Royal Hospital.

:15:54.:15:56.

The inquest was told staff didn't carry out a risk assessment,

:15:57.:15:58.

despite Christopher's history of self-harm.

:15:59.:15:59.

The coroner has found today that our beloved son and brother Chris died

:16:00.:16:16.

as a result of gross failings by the South London and Maudsley NHS trust.

:16:17.:16:22.

This is the most recent finding in a growing number of child deaths in

:16:23.:16:27.

psychiatric hospitals across the country as a result of neglect. Not

:16:28.:16:31.

one more child should be allowed to die in this way. The family supports

:16:32.:16:39.

the calls for Jeremy Hunt to commission an independent review

:16:40.:16:43.

into the death of children in psychiatric hospitals, and they wish

:16:44.:16:47.

to thank the charity Inquest for their unbending support.

:16:48.:16:54.

This is Outside Source live from the BBC newsroom.

:16:55.:16:56.

The UN says it will resume aid convoys to Syria,

:16:57.:16:59.

a few days after an attack on a group trying to reach Aleppo.

:17:00.:17:10.

BBC Hausa reports that Zimbabwean authorities are threatening

:17:11.:17:14.

imprisonment for those that "abuse" the national flag.

:17:15.:17:19.

There have been weeks of anti-government protests -

:17:20.:17:21.

and the flag's been used as a symbol for their campaign.

:17:22.:17:26.

Not for the first time the Filipino President Rodrigo Duterte has

:17:27.:17:28.

This time the EU is the target after it condemned his relaxed

:17:29.:17:34.

approach to the murder of criminals and drug dealers.

:17:35.:17:37.

He said "hypocritical" powers like France and Britain were trying

:17:38.:17:41.

Vets in the UK are warning would-be dog owners to think twice

:17:42.:17:51.

before buying breeds with fashionably

:17:52.:17:54.

Many of these dogs are born with medical problems, we're told.

:17:55.:18:05.

These are pictures of a violent protest in North Carolina.

:18:06.:18:18.

They followed the shooting of a black man.

:18:19.:18:23.

It happened in a place called Charlotte. As you can see, it turned

:18:24.:18:29.

violent. 12 police officers

:18:30.:18:31.

were hurt - one of them Those are police cars that

:18:32.:18:33.

demonstrators are jumping on. Earlier on Tuesday, this man,

:18:34.:18:37.

Keith Lamont Scott, was shot by a black officer

:18:38.:18:39.

and died in hospital. Here is one man who decided to go

:18:40.:18:57.

out on the street and protest. I'm black, so when I see this I think,

:18:58.:19:02.

at any given moment, I could get pulled over, and I could get shot,

:19:03.:19:09.

armed or not. It has been growing. People are getting shot everywhere.

:19:10.:19:13.

If you are a black guy, you probably should be scared, because we are the

:19:14.:19:17.

ones getting shot. The mayor of Charlotte is calling on everyone to

:19:18.:19:22.

stay calm. She said, we will continue to work with our manager in

:19:23.:19:28.

chief on the officer in question involved in the shooting. She

:19:29.:19:32.

promises a full investigation. We will be live in Charlotte at the

:19:33.:19:34.

moment. On Monday, footage of a man

:19:35.:19:37.

being tasered and then shot dead This is Terence Crutcher,

:19:38.:19:41.

a black man who was unarmed. He's walking towards his truck

:19:42.:19:52.

holding his hands in the air - We paused it at the

:19:53.:19:55.

moment he was shot. That is not the video the police

:19:56.:20:33.

released. It continued an interrupted. Let's bring in Gary

:20:34.:20:38.

O'Donoghue who is live in Charlotte. What has been happening today? The

:20:39.:20:42.

police have been even -- giving their side of the story today. What

:20:43.:20:47.

they say is that Keith Lamont Scott did have a gun in his hand when he

:20:48.:20:53.

got back out of his car when he was challenged by officers yesterday

:20:54.:20:59.

afternoon at about this time. They are absolutely categorical about

:21:00.:21:02.

that. They say they gave him multiple warnings to drop the

:21:03.:21:06.

weapon, and he didn't. And that is why he was shot. The family dispute

:21:07.:21:12.

that. They say he had a book in his hands, and was just sitting in his

:21:13.:21:17.

car waiting to pick his son up from the school bus. So you have two

:21:18.:21:23.

conflicting accounts of that. What people are saying here, and the

:21:24.:21:27.

Civil Liberties union are saying, that the police should release the

:21:28.:21:32.

body camera video, the dashcam video of the incident, to try to clear up

:21:33.:21:37.

what has happened. The police chief said he was restricted in what he

:21:38.:21:42.

could release because of a new law that comes into force here in North

:21:43.:21:46.

Carolina which really only allows a judge to give a court order to

:21:47.:21:51.

release such a video. But the protesters say the law does not come

:21:52.:21:55.

into effect until October, so that is why the video should be released.

:21:56.:22:00.

The police are bracing themselves for potential trouble later on

:22:01.:22:04.

tonight. They are doing everything they can to make sure that doesn't

:22:05.:22:09.

happen, but at the moment, there isn't any means to clear up exactly

:22:10.:22:13.

what happened to Keith Lamont Scott, out in the public, at least. Thank

:22:14.:22:16.

you, Gary. The US Federal Reserve has decided

:22:17.:22:23.

to not to shift interest rates. We've done this story a few times -

:22:24.:22:26.

this is the sixth time in a row Samira Hussain, outside the Fed's

:22:27.:22:29.

building in Washington DC. You can explain to us why the rate

:22:30.:22:43.

is staying the same, and why it still matters a great deal. So they

:22:44.:22:48.

have decided to keep the rate is the same, and they think that while the

:22:49.:22:52.

economy here in the US is showing some signs of strength, the labour

:22:53.:22:57.

market is doing better, but there are other things weighing on the

:22:58.:23:01.

Federal Reserve. One thing is inflation, which is not where it

:23:02.:23:06.

wants to be. Interest rates are important because they tell how much

:23:07.:23:12.

people can borrow money for. What they are doing by keeping interest

:23:13.:23:15.

rates with the low is to encourage businesses to borrow money and then

:23:16.:23:21.

make investments. When you change those interest rates, it could

:23:22.:23:25.

change the way businesses behave, and that is one thing that the

:23:26.:23:29.

Federal Reserve are talking about, that they are not seeing as much

:23:30.:23:34.

business investment as they want to. It is important for the global

:23:35.:23:39.

economy because of the fact that our economy is global. Any changes that

:23:40.:23:45.

happen in the US have an impact elsewhere in the world, especially

:23:46.:23:49.

since many things like commodities are all dealt with in US dollars.

:23:50.:23:53.

What happens here in the United States really does have an impact on

:23:54.:23:59.

what happens in the economies around the world. Thank you for explaining

that. Let's talk about the story in the UK now.

:24:05.:24:10.

Report now on tattoos - and a warning to employers that

:24:11.:24:12.

prejudice against tattoos is meaning businesses are missing out on some

:24:13.:24:15.

They divide opinion, but nearly 20% of UK

:24:16.:24:19.

Mostly they're not as extreme as the man known as the King

:24:20.:24:23.

of Inkland, who says his body art saw him moved at work.

:24:24.:24:27.

The manager pulled me to one side and said,

:24:28.:24:29.

we can't really have you in the middle of the office

:24:30.:24:32.

So I got shunted to the back of the office, right

:24:33.:24:36.

where the manager sits, so she could keep a beady eye on me.

:24:37.:24:39.

It is not illegal for employers to discriminate against people

You cannot just point-blank say no to tattoos, we tattoo a lot

:24:48.:24:52.

:24:53.:24:54.

:24:55.:24:57.

It is part of English culture these days.

Annie is one of several people at this Leeds

:25:00.:25:01.

But she was careful about where she put them.

:25:02.:25:06.

I wanted to think about where I was going to position them,

:25:07.:25:09.

so I've got two on my back and one of my foot.

:25:10.:25:12.

And I decided there so they wouldn't be seen in a working environment

:25:13.:25:15.

You'd have to draw a line, I think, in the business we're in,

:25:20.:25:27.

in a relatively conservative industry, with tattoos on the face.

:25:28.:25:29.

I've been told by my daughter that now you can get very

:25:30.:25:36.

But if she ever got one, I probably wouldn't speak to her again!

Broadcaster David Dimbleby had one done at the age of 75.

They are becoming far more socially acceptable,

:25:47.:25:49.

but employers are within their rights to say

:25:50.:25:52.
