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 | :24:00. | :24:04. | |
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 | :24:40. | :24:43. | |
But a report today says companies are missing out on talented | :24:44. | :24:47. | |
You cannot just point-blank say no to tattoos, we tattoo a lot | :24:48. | :24:52. | |
of people from a lot of different industries. | :24:53. | :24:54. | |
It's police and everything, you know, all over, get tattoos. | :24:55. | :24:57. | |
It is part of English culture these days. | :24:58. | :24:59. | |
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. | |
Her boss Chris says he's not bothered about tattoos, but the line | :25:16. | :25:19. | |
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! | :25:37. | :25:42. | |
Broadcaster David Dimbleby had one done at the age of 75. | :25:43. | :25:46. | |
They are becoming far more socially acceptable, | :25:47. | :25:49. | |
but employers are within their rights to say | :25:50. | :25:52. | |
I will be back with you in a couple of minutes time. | :25:53. | :26:12. | |
Good evening. If you were watching yesterday, you will | :26:13. | :26:13. |
