This is BBC World News Today with me, Geeta Guru-Murthy. | :00:00. | :00:07. | |
Why the EU's policy on migration is not working. | :00:08. | :00:11. | |
We have a special report from the Greek island of Chios. | :00:12. | :00:20. | |
Wear the number of refugees and migrants is on the rise again. | :00:21. | :00:24. | |
One in ten of us will die from air pollution, according | :00:25. | :00:27. | |
Donald Trump claims Russia's Vladimir Putin is more of a | :00:28. | :00:32. | |
"He's unpatriotic," said Hillary Clinton. | :00:33. | :00:41. | |
If he says great things about me, I will say great things about him. I | :00:42. | :00:47. | |
have already said he is a great leader. | :00:48. | :00:48. | |
saying there's not just one species but four. | :00:49. | :01:08. | |
The number of refugees and migrants arriving on Greek islands | :01:09. | :01:12. | |
is starting to go up again, despite a deal between the EU | :01:13. | :01:15. | |
and Turkey earlier this year to reduce the flow of people | :01:16. | :01:18. | |
As most of the people arriving in Greece travel | :01:19. | :01:24. | |
through Turkey, the process of either returning them there, | :01:25. | :01:26. | |
or moving them elsewhere in the EU, has virtually ground to a halt | :01:27. | :01:29. | |
with some 60,000 now stuck in Greece. | :01:30. | :01:35. | |
Our Europe correspondent, Damian Grammaticas, reports | :01:36. | :01:37. | |
The tourists are here, indulging, enjoying their | :01:38. | :01:48. | |
In the background, the refugees linger, trapped as | :01:49. | :01:51. | |
Out at sea, the boats have slowed, Greek | :01:52. | :01:59. | |
Europe's deal with Turkey is having an effect. | :02:00. | :02:06. | |
Turkish patrols are deterring more crossings. | :02:07. | :02:16. | |
Arrivals now around 100 a day, not in the thousands. | :02:17. | :02:22. | |
So it is here on land where the crisis has shifted. | :02:23. | :02:27. | |
This man arrived from Homs in Syria two months ago. | :02:28. | :02:34. | |
We stayed in the gardens are 20 days and no one cared about us. | :02:35. | :02:39. | |
He is now stuck in a temporary shelter hoping for | :02:40. | :02:41. | |
refugee status but with no end to the process insight. | :02:42. | :02:45. | |
There are people here for six months and they are still waiting. | :02:46. | :02:53. | |
For me, I am two months so maybe we will wait two | :02:54. | :02:56. | |
Adding to their frustration, the refugees cannot work. | :02:57. | :03:01. | |
They are reliant on hand-outs and it is | :03:02. | :03:07. | |
charities, not the EU, that is feeding them. | :03:08. | :03:15. | |
For this lady, a Syrian Kurd, and her family | :03:16. | :03:17. | |
degrading - and not what they expected in Europe. | :03:18. | :03:21. | |
TRANSLATION: We escaped war, death, how can they reject us? | :03:22. | :03:24. | |
We are in Europe, which always talks about | :03:25. | :03:26. | |
Right in the heart of Chios, the refugees have made their own | :03:27. | :03:34. | |
shanty and islanders believe the EU is deliberately slowing the asylum | :03:35. | :03:37. | |
The EU would like to minimise the flow so they leave | :03:38. | :03:47. | |
the procedure to take months for the refugees. | :03:48. | :03:50. | |
The EU's policies have to an extent secured European borders | :03:51. | :03:55. | |
here for now, limiting the influx but they have left Greece and the | :03:56. | :03:58. | |
refugees already here in limbo, unclear when or to where they will | :03:59. | :04:01. | |
Well, the vast majority of people who are stranded in Greece | :04:02. | :04:12. | |
Five and a half years on and a political solution is still | :04:13. | :04:20. | |
America and Russia, who back opposing sides in the conflict, | :04:21. | :04:24. | |
have been discussing closer cooperation in the wider war, | :04:25. | :04:26. | |
aiming for local truces - particularly in areas besieged | :04:27. | :04:28. | |
One such community is the enclave of Muadhamiya, | :04:29. | :04:38. | |
where, today, displaced civilians were able to evacuate. | :04:39. | :04:40. | |
Our Middle East editor, Jeremy Bowen, watched them leave. | :04:41. | :04:47. | |
Now, this group of displaced people are on the bus and they will be | :04:48. | :04:53. | |
heading off pretty shortly to a camp and, by all accounts, that can is | :04:54. | :04:57. | |
well run. By all accounts, that can is well run. Or maybe manage varying | :04:58. | :04:59. | |
level, the fact that they are leaving their homes is not bad | :05:00. | :05:02. | |
because they have been stopped in this enclave in Muadhamiya for 4-5 | :05:03. | :05:10. | |
years. On a strategic level, it is a good day for the regime because they | :05:11. | :05:15. | |
are removing sources of opposition run around the very strategically | :05:16. | :05:19. | |
important west side of the capital. If this is followed by another | :05:20. | :05:24. | |
agreement to take fighters out, up to the north, then again, it is | :05:25. | :05:30. | |
strategic gain for the regime. The buses going after now. Their | :05:31. | :05:37. | |
possessions, their lives are boiled down now to some bundles of old | :05:38. | :05:41. | |
clothes and they don't know what kind of future they are going into. | :05:42. | :05:46. | |
It's just one bus leaving but, for those people, it is a huge moment in | :05:47. | :05:48. | |
their lives. In just two months' time, | :05:49. | :05:59. | |
Americans will cast their vote in an election the whole world | :06:00. | :06:01. | |
is watching very closely. A Trump victory would | :06:02. | :06:04. | |
have huge ramifications Last night, Hillary Clinton said | :06:05. | :06:05. | |
Donald Trump was "not just unpatriotic" but also "scary" | :06:06. | :06:10. | |
because he praised the Russian President Vladimir Putin | :06:11. | :06:13. | |
over President Obama. Today, Mr Obama said Mr Trump | :06:14. | :06:15. | |
isn't fit for office. The music came with a thumping | :06:16. | :06:32. | |
marching. And aircraft carrier, the setting, with an ground zero. | :06:33. | :06:38. | |
Hillary Clinton entered wanting to express our thoughts on a post-9 | :06:39. | :06:45. | |
1112 but instead found herself being interrogated. -- 9/11. It was a | :06:46. | :06:50. | |
mistake you have a personal account. I would not have it again and I'm | :06:51. | :06:53. | |
ignorant users for it. It is something that should not have been | :06:54. | :06:58. | |
done. Secretary Clinton, thank you very much. This was not good enough | :06:59. | :07:02. | |
for this battering in the audience who had handled classified material | :07:03. | :07:06. | |
himself. You clearly corrupted classified material. I communicated | :07:07. | :07:13. | |
a bad classified material on a separate system. I do get very | :07:14. | :07:19. | |
seriously. So, now, please welcome new Republican nominee for | :07:20. | :07:28. | |
president, President, -- Donald Trump. EBay questions about glad | :07:29. | :07:38. | |
Putin. If he faces -- if he said good things about me, I will say | :07:39. | :07:42. | |
good things about him. He has a very good, strong control over his | :07:43. | :07:47. | |
country. It is a different system which I don't like, but he has been | :07:48. | :07:53. | |
more of a leader than our president. He was also at about him or knowing | :07:54. | :07:57. | |
more about Islamic State that America was 's general. Under | :07:58. | :08:04. | |
President Obama and Hillary Clinton, they have been reduced to rubble. It | :08:05. | :08:10. | |
isn't harassing for our country. Obama seems to echo widespread | :08:11. | :08:22. | |
criticism over a journalist, he said this. You'll listen to what he said | :08:23. | :08:26. | |
and follow up on what are either contradictory, uninformed or | :08:27. | :08:36. | |
outright wanky ideas. And listen to this exchange with Gary Johnson. | :08:37. | :08:40. | |
Hull what would you do if you were elected, about Aleppo? What is | :08:41. | :08:53. | |
Aleppo? It is in Syria. It is the epicentre of the refugee crisis. OK, | :08:54. | :09:00. | |
got it. That is a side show, it is the two main candidates are vying to | :09:01. | :09:06. | |
become commander-in-chief. Hillary Clinton was land values of a private | :09:07. | :09:12. | |
e-mail server. Donald Trump praised the Vladimir Putin criticised the | :09:13. | :09:15. | |
generals he hopes to lead. A forum in which they are meant to state | :09:16. | :09:20. | |
their strengths as an arrogant's next commander-in-chief but they | :09:21. | :09:21. | |
highlighted their weaknesses. The first day of the Paralympic | :09:22. | :09:26. | |
games has been getting under way today and, | :09:27. | :09:35. | |
with 38 gold medals to be Julia Carneiro is there | :09:36. | :09:38. | |
for us with the latest on the day's action - | :09:39. | :09:41. | |
Julia Yes I am here where the day started | :09:42. | :09:51. | |
with a seven A-side football match. The first was a Paralympics GB | :09:52. | :09:55. | |
versus Brazil. Brazil did when in football. 2-1 against GB but there's | :09:56. | :10:02. | |
still plenty of action going on with Ukraine playing Ireland. Ukraine is | :10:03. | :10:07. | |
leading with at least six gals. The hearing screams from the inside cell | :10:08. | :10:10. | |
they might have an even stronger lead. Earlier today, Netherlands | :10:11. | :10:18. | |
there's the United States will also play. -- later today. We have had | :10:19. | :10:22. | |
the first medals handed out in athletics. We are having the first | :10:23. | :10:26. | |
final inswinging later on. More finals in athletics. -- in swimming. | :10:27. | :10:35. | |
They won so let's hear from Andy Swiss on how things are going. | :10:36. | :10:40. | |
After all the worries over ticket sales, thousands flocked | :10:41. | :10:45. | |
to the Paralympic Park hoping for a dramatic day. | :10:46. | :10:47. | |
Among the Opening Ceremony's highlights, Amy Purdie dancing the | :10:48. | :10:53. | |
The booing of the Brazilian president a reminder of | :10:54. | :11:01. | |
The torch bearer slipped on a rain-soaked | :11:02. | :11:10. | |
floor, but the stadium rose in support. | :11:11. | :11:12. | |
She picked herself up and | :11:13. | :11:14. | |
A determination to succeed which Rio will hope these | :11:15. | :11:23. | |
In the velodrome, Dame Sarah Storey in Christian history. Looking for a | :11:24. | :11:39. | |
possible 12 Paralympic medal. Born without a left hand, she has | :11:40. | :11:43. | |
excelled as a swimmer and a cyclist. It will take up as Baroness Grace | :11:44. | :11:48. | |
Thomson's 11 medals. Something she said she can scarcely believe. Your | :11:49. | :11:52. | |
mac I think the history is something to keep tabs on but it was unknown | :11:53. | :11:58. | |
to me when I was suddenly told that I was just as good as Tanya. Tanya | :11:59. | :12:00. | |
is my all-time hero. For the Brazilian fans | :12:01. | :12:05. | |
the seven aside football | :12:06. | :12:06. | |
proved a predictable draw. The competition for athletes | :12:07. | :12:08. | |
with cerebral palsy or athletes who have experienced brain | :12:09. | :12:10. | |
injuries pitted them against Great Despite David Porcher's goal, Brazil | :12:11. | :12:12. | |
won 2-1. In the visually impaired | :12:13. | :12:19. | |
long jump, Ricardo The result was Brazil's first goal | :12:20. | :12:32. | |
of the game after a difficult build-up. Already plenty to | :12:33. | :12:33. | |
celebrate. There will be plenty more to | :12:34. | :12:44. | |
celebrate but, as we had there, the president of Brazil was booed during | :12:45. | :12:49. | |
the opening ceremony. That is not the only political gesture in the | :12:50. | :12:51. | |
opening ceremony with an episode where an official from Belarus | :12:52. | :12:58. | |
waived the Russian flag during the parade of the delegation as the | :12:59. | :13:02. | |
athletes from Belarus paraded inside the stadium. He has now had his | :13:03. | :13:07. | |
accreditation withdrawn by the International Paralympic committee | :13:08. | :13:11. | |
in reprimand to that gesture. It was a gesture in support of Russia that | :13:12. | :13:15. | |
has been banned from the Taliban games because of the investigation | :13:16. | :13:21. | |
into a state sponsored doping scheme in the country. -- the Olympic | :13:22. | :13:26. | |
Games. He has been held as a hero from some officials in Russia but | :13:27. | :13:30. | |
Belarus have been reminded that political demonstrations have been | :13:31. | :13:36. | |
prohibited at the Olympics. Thank you. | :13:37. | :13:42. | |
I was watching the opening ceremony last night and it was amazing. | :13:43. | :13:46. | |
Let's take a quick look at the medal table. | :13:47. | :13:50. | |
Brazil are riding high on the top of the table with one goal in the men's | :13:51. | :13:56. | |
long jump and a silver in the men's 500 metres. | :13:57. | :13:58. | |
And you can get the latest from Paralympics games | :13:59. | :14:00. | |
For detailed analysis and a sport by sport guide just | :14:01. | :14:04. | |
It is all there for you over the next few days. | :14:05. | :14:12. | |
A new study by the World Bank shows that air pollution is now one | :14:13. | :14:16. | |
of the world's biggest causes of premature death. | :14:17. | :14:18. | |
the fourth biggest killer, and the vast majority of us | :14:19. | :14:21. | |
the report says one in ten deaths are now related to air pollution. | :14:22. | :14:31. | |
That's six times the number of people killed by malaria. | :14:32. | :14:33. | |
It's four times bigger than the number of deaths | :14:34. | :14:36. | |
the World Bank says it is 225 billion dollars each year. | :14:37. | :14:43. | |
where air pollution levels exceed guidelines for air quality. | :14:44. | :14:51. | |
The BBC's, Sanjoy Majumdar is in Delhi, where they've got | :14:52. | :14:54. | |
Revolution is one of the worst causes other premature death in | :14:55. | :15:10. | |
India. Nearly half a million people die every year because of it. There | :15:11. | :15:15. | |
are many reasons for causing the air pollution. Cars on the road, fossil | :15:16. | :15:19. | |
fuels but in particular, it is matter that is deadly. These tiny, | :15:20. | :15:24. | |
toxic particles of dust that are caused by fossil fuels or other | :15:25. | :15:28. | |
forms of pollution. You cannot even from the naked eye but they can have | :15:29. | :15:32. | |
deadly effect. It can lead to rest breakthrough problems or it can | :15:33. | :15:36. | |
cause heart disease. It can even lead to lung cancer. Now, it's not a | :15:37. | :15:41. | |
pricing that urban centres, such as cities, are the worst affected. -- | :15:42. | :15:46. | |
surprising. The World Bank say six of the most polluted cities in the | :15:47. | :15:52. | |
world. Delhi, the capital has a dubious distinction of being the | :15:53. | :15:56. | |
worst of them all. That is why there is increasing pressure on the Dudek | :15:57. | :15:59. | |
and drastic measures to try and curb this massive problem. -- Judaic -- | :16:00. | :16:09. | |
to take drastic measures. We can now speak to one of the lead | :16:10. | :16:10. | |
authors of that report - Urvashi Narain is Senior | :16:11. | :16:13. | |
Environmental Economist Where you shocked by the levels | :16:14. | :16:20. | |
here? It is extraordinary to say one in ten of other is that the | :16:21. | :16:22. | |
jewellery. How did you get that number? Yes, thank you for having | :16:23. | :16:26. | |
me. This is a joint report of the World Bank and the Institute for | :16:27. | :16:32. | |
health and evaluation. Our report shows that one in ten deaths is now | :16:33. | :16:38. | |
attribute it to air pollution. It is the fourth leading risk factor. | :16:39. | :16:42. | |
Almost as many people are dying from air pollution as from tobacco smoke. | :16:43. | :16:49. | |
It shows that it is also a drag on development. Not just a health risk. | :16:50. | :16:56. | |
Sorry sorry to interrupt, what exact conditions are caused by air | :16:57. | :17:00. | |
pollution? Is it clear that they are only caused by pollution and not | :17:01. | :17:06. | |
other factors? Now, so, revolution increases our exposure -- our | :17:07. | :17:12. | |
exposure to air pollution increase the risk of contracting deadly | :17:13. | :17:15. | |
diseases, like lung cancer, heart disease, chronic bronchitis. It is | :17:16. | :17:26. | |
also being now... There is evidence to show that air pollution exposure | :17:27. | :17:31. | |
is leading to premature births in developing countries as well. There | :17:32. | :17:37. | |
is a number of diseases now that are linked to exposure. Obviously, the | :17:38. | :17:41. | |
ads is this are complex. Realistically, do you think this | :17:42. | :17:46. | |
report will have an impact and what would you like from governors around | :17:47. | :17:49. | |
the world in both developing and developed nations? You'll agree -- | :17:50. | :17:58. | |
reboot economic course on premature mortality because of an allusion to | :17:59. | :18:04. | |
be able to help resonate these numbers with policymakers. We want | :18:05. | :18:08. | |
to see policymakers increased investment in clean air. We want to | :18:09. | :18:14. | |
improve the air in those countries and cities. Countries are starting | :18:15. | :18:20. | |
to act but they want to tell the investment in favour of clean air. | :18:21. | :18:30. | |
Hill we want to see this being prioritised. What about people | :18:31. | :18:34. | |
watching? Is anything we can do? For example, lots of us live in cities | :18:35. | :18:38. | |
of food are gently mocking to schools because of the health | :18:39. | :18:43. | |
benefits of being outside -- should our children be walking? It is very | :18:44. | :18:50. | |
hard to escape from. We call it a silent killer because we don't know. | :18:51. | :18:56. | |
It is not a solution to spend time indoors. This is really an agenda | :18:57. | :19:02. | |
that the Government's actions are important on. It comes in very | :19:03. | :19:10. | |
different sectors. In Boston in the transport sector. Even dust. -- | :19:11. | :19:16. | |
combustion. And you're going to say that the cost of not acting is | :19:17. | :19:21. | |
greater because of the health care costs than if governments actually | :19:22. | :19:24. | |
do something and be pressure on private companies, and so on. | :19:25. | :19:29. | |
Exactly. There are various studies to show the costs and benefits in | :19:30. | :19:36. | |
the US. Consider the estimates of the regulations are brought under | :19:37. | :19:40. | |
the clean their facts are that the costs by four - one. Thank you very | :19:41. | :19:49. | |
much joining us in Washington. Thank you. Thank you. | :19:50. | :19:57. | |
It's an iconic building with some pretty heavyweight residents - | :19:58. | :20:00. | |
the British Houses of Parliament though is crumbling | :20:01. | :20:02. | |
It's more than 150 years old and is at risk from fire, | :20:03. | :20:08. | |
collapsing roofs, crumbling walls, and leaking pipes. | :20:09. | :20:10. | |
Rodents are often seen in the canteen and I don't mean | :20:11. | :20:13. | |
But will the politicians agree to move out whilst | :20:14. | :20:17. | |
Beautiful from the outside but not so inside. | :20:18. | :20:25. | |
Parts of the palace of Westminster are dangerous to work | :20:26. | :20:28. | |
The roofs are leaking, stonework is rotting, in effect. | :20:29. | :20:36. | |
We need to do a great deal more in terms of fire | :20:37. | :20:40. | |
The Victorians left us lots of drawings of statues | :20:41. | :20:44. | |
and all the rest, but good plans so we know where the voids | :20:45. | :20:47. | |
But all the facilities - electricity, IT, comms, sewage, | :20:48. | :20:54. | |
fresh water, high pressure steam, central heating... | :20:55. | :21:01. | |
All of that have been laid one over the other. | :21:02. | :21:04. | |
I don't think I'm giving away any secrets. | :21:05. | :21:08. | |
Lots of wires, nobody's sure where they go. | :21:09. | :21:10. | |
To allow for extensive renovations, a parliamentary committee | :21:11. | :21:12. | |
is recommending all MPs and peers should vacate parliament | :21:13. | :21:15. | |
for at least six years in the early 2020s. | :21:16. | :21:22. | |
650 MPs would all pack their bags from the House of Commons | :21:23. | :21:25. | |
and move 350 yards across the road to Whitehall. | :21:26. | :21:27. | |
A temporary Commons would be based here. | :21:28. | :21:33. | |
At the moment this is the HQ for the Department of Health. | :21:34. | :21:36. | |
At the back of this building is a courtyard which could be used | :21:37. | :21:41. | |
as a temporary chamber, for debates, statements and Prime Minister's | :21:42. | :21:44. | |
It's on the parliamentary estate, which makes it safer, | :21:45. | :21:49. | |
and it's also within walking distance of many MP offices. | :21:50. | :21:52. | |
At the same time, all members of the House of Lords | :21:53. | :21:56. | |
would also be rehoused, down the road to the QE2 | :21:57. | :21:58. | |
Right now, this is a commercial venue, with an abundance of large | :21:59. | :22:04. | |
rooms, but as it's owned by the Government, it wouldn't be | :22:05. | :22:07. | |
difficult to turn it into a second chamber, | :22:08. | :22:09. | |
to scrutinise laws and challenge the executive. | :22:10. | :22:16. | |
The PM spokeswoman says she'll respond in due course. | :22:17. | :22:20. | |
It's then up to both Houses to scrutinise and vote | :22:21. | :22:22. | |
It's not just convenience, it's important this world heritage | :22:23. | :22:30. | |
site is refurbished for modern working purposes. | :22:31. | :22:35. | |
After years of study, a concrete proposal that could lead | :22:36. | :22:37. | |
to MPs and Lords vacating parliament for the first time | :22:38. | :22:39. | |
Now, a high altitude rescue is underway in Frankfurt the moment | :22:40. | :23:00. | |
where 110 people are capped at a cable car in the Alps broke down. -- | :23:01. | :23:13. | |
in France's. Helicopters are being used to evacuate passengers who are | :23:14. | :23:17. | |
capped. The cable runs between the two peaks in France and Italy. A lot | :23:18. | :23:28. | |
of cable cars up there. We were there early in the year and people | :23:29. | :23:31. | |
will be alarmed because of the safety of those cable cars being | :23:32. | :23:35. | |
absent be paramount for the real hope that rescue goes well. | :23:36. | :23:38. | |
Now - to most people a giraffe is a giraffe - | :23:39. | :23:40. | |
but scientists have discovered that in fact there are four | :23:41. | :23:43. | |
In genetic terms, it means the differences between some | :23:44. | :23:47. | |
African giraffes are as big as between a Polar | :23:48. | :23:49. | |
They're Africa's gentlest giants but these animals | :23:50. | :24:02. | |
are in decline as their natural habitat is shrinking. | :24:03. | :24:06. | |
That threat was the trigger for an investigation. | :24:07. | :24:08. | |
Geneticists and conservationists worked together to sample giraffe | :24:09. | :24:10. | |
DNA to find out more about these increasingly fragmented populations. | :24:11. | :24:13. | |
And this revealed a genetic surprise. | :24:14. | :24:15. | |
What these new results show is that there are actually four | :24:16. | :24:17. | |
All very tall and they look very similar. | :24:18. | :24:25. | |
But they are actually as genetically distinct from one another as a polar | :24:26. | :24:29. | |
here and the zoo just one of the four species. | :24:30. | :24:35. | |
The others are northern giraffes, southern giraffes | :24:36. | :24:40. | |
This might look like a very tricky game of spot the difference | :24:41. | :24:49. | |
but to conservationists, it's crucial information. | :24:50. | :24:51. | |
Understanding that they look different is just the start, | :24:52. | :24:57. | |
now understanding the real genetic differences helps us perhaps | :24:58. | :24:59. | |
to understand that there may be big differences in mating | :25:00. | :25:01. | |
Those, of course, are critical to conserving a species | :25:02. | :25:06. | |
and important understanding how threats might impact upon it | :25:07. | :25:08. | |
and how we can reduce them and save species from extinction. | :25:09. | :25:11. | |
The wild population of giraffes has declined by 40% | :25:12. | :25:15. | |
So, looking deep into their DNA could help conservationists work out | :25:16. | :25:21. | |
exactly what these animals need from their environment, | :25:22. | :25:23. | |
to protect the habitat that the world's tallest | :25:24. | :25:25. | |
consolidating his hold on the areas around the Syrian capital. | :25:26. | :25:48. | |
A suburb of Damascus which was a rebel stonghold | :25:49. | :25:50. | |
is currently being evacuated by Syrian government troops. | :25:51. | :25:54. | |
I am back to mark at the same time. Get in touch with me on Twitter as | :25:55. | :26:00. | |
Hello once again. I do think there is anything particularly settled | :26:01. | :26:11. | |
happily ever to have beset across the full British Isles. It is not a | :26:12. | :26:15. | |
