:00:17. > :00:22.Ukrainian Government agree a deal. The truce, after almost five months
:00:23. > :00:27.of fighting and 2500 deaths was announced by Ukraine's President. I
:00:28. > :00:32.have given an order to the chief of my military to declare a ceasefire
:00:33. > :00:37.in half an hour. A show of force at the NATO summit
:00:38. > :00:43.in Wales, as leaders welcome the truce. Obviously we are hopeful, but
:00:44. > :00:48.based on past experience, also sceptical. The halt in fighting has
:00:49. > :00:53.not stopped the EU imposing more sanctions on Russia. Flying out of

:01:49. > :01:55.Good evening. After months of fighting in eastern Ukraine a
:01:56. > :02:01.ceasefire has been agreed between Russian rebels and forces. Ukraine's
:02:02. > :02:04.President announced the news at the summit in Newport, South Wales.
:02:05. > :02:08.Leaders warned Russia to abide by the deal, insisting they would
:02:09. > :02:13.defend their allies against any aggressor. NATO has announced a new
:02:14. > :02:21.4,000-strong rapid reaction force, including 1,000 British troops which
:02:22. > :02:26.could be deploy to a crisis in Eastern Europe.
:02:27. > :02:31.In a moment, we'll be reporting from the front line in Eastern Ukraine.
:02:32. > :02:36.First tonight our political editor Nick Robinson reports from Newport
:02:37. > :02:43.on the day's dramatic developments. No war has ever been paused. No
:02:44. > :02:48.ceasefire declared quite like this. Just after 3. 30pm this afternoon,
:02:49. > :02:53.the President of the Ukraine marched on to the golf course, the place
:02:54. > :02:58.where Europe raised the Ryder Cup, now host to a summit for the most
:02:59. > :03:02.powerful military club in the world. President Poroshenko made this
:03:03. > :03:11.dramatic announcement. I give an order to the chief of my
:03:12. > :03:19.military to declare a ceasefire in half an hour, at 6pm Ukrainian time.
:03:20. > :03:25.Just a few hours earlier the Red Arrows had roared overhead, just one
:03:26. > :03:29.part of a fearsome display of air power from nine countries, laid on
:03:30. > :03:37.for NATO's watching leaders, or perhaps in truth for their watching.
:03:38. > :03:39.This was the day NATO decided to deploy more forces on the eastern
:03:40. > :03:52.border, the border with Russia. This is what the ceasefire is meant
:03:53. > :03:55.to stop - 2,000 miles away from the summit, Russian-backed rebels,
:03:56. > :04:01.battling with Ukrainian forces in the port of Mariupol. Back in Wales,
:04:02. > :04:08.the reaction to the news was, we'll believe it when we see it. Obviously
:04:09. > :04:12.we are hopeful. Based on past experience also sceptical that in
:04:13. > :04:19.fact the separatists will follow through and the Russians will stop
:04:20. > :04:24.violating Ukraine's sovereignty. This summit agreed to establish a
:04:25. > :04:29.4,000-strong rapid response force. David Cameron said 1,000 troops
:04:30. > :04:34.would come from Britain and a further 3, 500 will take part in
:04:35. > :04:36.military exercises, designed to reassure countries in Eastern
:04:37. > :04:41.Europe. They fear Vladimir Putin. He may
:04:42. > :04:46.have unveiled a peace plan earlier this week, but NATO is working on
:04:47. > :04:50.the assumption that his intentions are anything but peaceful. We stand
:04:51. > :04:55.behind Ukraine's right to make its own decisions, not to have them
:04:56. > :04:59.dictated by Russian tanks rolling over the border. New sanctions would
:05:00. > :05:03.come into force, he said, until a Ukrainian peace plan was
:05:04. > :05:07.implemented. I put it to the Prime Minister how some would see this
:05:08. > :05:11.ceasefire. Putin has won because the Ukrainians realised that the West
:05:12. > :05:16.have done too little, too late and Putin will get away with his
:05:17. > :05:20.aggression. I would challenge the view that the EU t West, America,
:05:21. > :05:25.have somehow been weak in response to what has happened. I think it is
:05:26. > :05:29.very important to focus on the pressure that we can realistically
:05:30. > :05:35.and effectively bring to bear and that is economic sanctions pressure.
:05:36. > :05:38.What though of that other great challenge - the search for an
:05:39. > :05:45.American-led strategy to confront the forces of the so-called Islamic
:05:46. > :05:48.States, what the US called ISIL. President Obama's plan is becoming
:05:49. > :05:51.clearer. It will be unveiled when he takes the chair of the UN General
:05:52. > :05:58.Assembly next month and has the backing of what has been called a
:05:59. > :06:05.core collision of ten NATO nations. There's great conviction that we
:06:06. > :06:09.have to act as part of the internation community and that was
:06:10. > :06:16.encouraging. Support may come from a more surprising source - the BBC has
:06:17. > :06:19.been told that Iran's Supreme Leader has approved contact between Iran
:06:20. > :06:23.and the US about how to combat Islamic State.
:06:24. > :06:27.The test of whether this summit has confronted the threats from the
:06:28. > :06:31.south, as well as the threats from the east, will come long after this
:06:32. > :06:37.military hardware is removed from this golf course and it will come
:06:38. > :06:45.thousands of miles away, in Ukraine and in Iraq and Syria.
:06:46. > :06:49.Fierce fighting continued in Eastern Ukraine, right up to the start of
:06:50. > :06:54.this afternoon's ceasefire. There had been heavy shelling at the part
:06:55. > :06:57.of Mariupol, a key objective for the pro-Russian rebels trying to secure
:06:58. > :07:07.a corridor between Russia and Crimea. From Mariupol our special
:07:08. > :07:12.correspondent sent this report. If this was the last morning of war,
:07:13. > :07:17.the opposing forces seem determined to spend their fury. These men are
:07:18. > :07:25.from a far right Ukrainian militia defending Mariupol.
:07:26. > :07:31.From the apartment blocks, the soldiers watched rebel movements.
:07:32. > :07:35.Below them, children played on, as if oblivious to the unfolding
:07:36. > :07:42.battle. Civilians watched the smoke rise from the explosions.
:07:43. > :07:46.Throughout the morning, we have been hearing the sound of heavy shelling.
:07:47. > :07:51.In the distance now you can hear rebels using rocket fire, but we
:07:52. > :07:55.have seen Ukrainian jets overhead and heard outgoing artillery. It
:07:56. > :07:59.seems with the ceasefire just hours away, the plan for a ceasefire, both
:08:00. > :08:04.sides are trying to gain as much military advantage as they can.
:08:05. > :08:07.In this ambulance wounded civilians for whom a ceasefire came too late
:08:08. > :08:16.to save them from tragedy. Among them a woman whose young
:08:17. > :08:23.grandchildren were killed hours before the peace deal was signed.
:08:24. > :08:26.Lubov Vasylivna saw her granddaughter, aged six and her
:08:27. > :08:35.disabled grandson, aged ten, cut down by an explosion.
:08:36. > :08:41."When I held my granddaughter, Karolina, the whole left side of her
:08:42. > :08:45.was shredded. I was in shock. Nikita was still in his wheelchair. It was
:08:46. > :08:49.difficult. There was blood everywhere."
:08:50. > :08:55."I don't know how I'm going to survive this. The images of them are
:08:56. > :09:01.in front of my eyes." Despite the promise of peace, some
:09:02. > :09:08.families are still fleeing. This woman is a widow who says too
:09:09. > :09:14.afraid to stay any longer. They have promised a ceasefire. Do you not
:09:15. > :09:20.believe in that? "Oh, God willing it will happen. If it does, we'll come
:09:21. > :09:27.back." There are as many as one million displaced people in theest,
:09:28. > :09:30.with peace in pros -- in the ease. With peace in prospect there is hope
:09:31. > :09:35.aid can get through to people like these. The local commander took us
:09:36. > :09:45.to meet those who are barely surviving. He would hear their fury.
:09:46. > :09:50.There was a body lying here for two days, she tells him. We couldn't
:09:51. > :09:54.bury it. No-one cares about us, we are like abandoned dogs. The fighter
:09:55. > :10:00.is lost for words. The conflict is not settled, the
:10:01. > :10:04.land is divided. The people of the east know simmering hatred can erupt
:10:05. > :10:08.into war again. After all they have suffered, only the test of time will
:10:09. > :10:13.convince them that peace is really coming.
:10:14. > :10:17.Let's return to Newport and speak to our diplomatic correspondent. The
:10:18. > :10:22.most important summit in NATO's history, that is how it was billed.
:10:23. > :10:26.Have they achieved enough? Well, I think the mood here is pretty
:10:27. > :10:30.positive. If you think of the perceptions going into this summit,
:10:31. > :10:33.there was a sense that the NATO alliance was old fashioned,
:10:34. > :10:37.cumbersome, that the western leadership seemed to be on the back
:10:38. > :10:41.foot. What have we had? President Obama showing his hand, coming one
:10:42. > :10:45.the ambitious start for a new collision, enlisting the first
:10:46. > :10:51.members here, to count their threat of Islamic State in the Middle East.
:10:52. > :10:55.On Russia, NATO said will position more troops in Europe, have a rapid
:10:56. > :11:01.reaction force. And saying it is holding open the door to new
:11:02. > :11:07.members, including Georgia, the former Soviet republic that
:11:08. > :11:13.President Putin went to war over. Then this evening, this you yan
:11:14. > :11:16.ceasefire. Did western sanctions, sanctioned by NATO countries make a
:11:17. > :11:20.difference? Well, possibly a little bit. There could have been other
:11:21. > :11:24.domestic reasons if the intentions are genuine. This ceasefire has to
:11:25. > :11:29.be tested and still has to hold. It whats been a very good -- it's been
:11:30. > :11:34.a very good note on which to end this summit. The parents of
:11:35. > :11:38.five-year-old brain tumour patient Ashya King have been given
:11:39. > :11:43.permission to take him to Prague for treatment. He was removed from
:11:44. > :11:46.Southampton General Hospital by his parents after they disagreed with
:11:47. > :11:54.staff about his treatment. The couple were arrested in Spain, but
:11:55. > :11:56.later reunited with their son. Ashya will receive proton beam therapy at
:11:57. > :11:59.a specialist clinic. Our correspondent is here. This is the
:12:00. > :12:05.treatment that the family have been seeking all along. What a journey to
:12:06. > :12:11.get this treatment. Ashya was made a ward of court when his father took
:12:12. > :12:14.him from the hospital. Wardship is when the court takes custody of a
:12:15. > :12:18.child and control of every major decision, in terms of the health and
:12:19. > :12:22.welfare of that child because they consider the child to be at serious
:12:23. > :12:26.risk. Following that extraordinary hearing on Tuesday, when the Crown
:12:27. > :12:29.Prosecution Service announced they were withdrawing that European
:12:30. > :12:35.Arrest Warrant in respect of Ashya's parents. Ashya himself remained a
:12:36. > :12:37.ward of court T judge ordered his parents summit the treatment plan to
:12:38. > :12:42.the court. That was considered today. The treatment was considered.
:12:43. > :12:46.Travel arrangements for Ashya and whether there were sufficient funds
:12:47. > :12:51.for treatment and travel. The judge ordered his parents be allowed to
:12:52. > :12:55.take him to that Czech Republic for that proton beam therapy. When he
:12:56. > :12:58.gets to the hospital, he will be returned to the full custody of his
:12:59. > :12:59.parents and he will be able to have the treatment that they always
:13:00. > :13:13.wanted him to have. Some of Britain's top experts
:13:14. > :13:15.in smoking and addiction say thousands of lives
:13:16. > :13:18.could be saved every year if smokers Their advice contradicts
:13:19. > :13:20.recommendations from the World Health Organisation, which
:13:21. > :13:23.said last week that e-cigarettes As Hugh Pym reports,
:13:24. > :13:26.it's left many confused. Getting a clear picture in this
:13:27. > :13:28.debate isn't getting any easier. Last week global health chiefs
:13:29. > :13:31.warned of the potential dangers Now British experts say
:13:32. > :13:34.that's misleading and they're No surprise they are popular
:13:35. > :13:39.among staff at this Lancashire-based e-cigarette
:13:40. > :13:42.business, Totally Wicked. Some smokers are switching to
:13:43. > :13:44.e-cigarettes as they still have nicotine,
:13:45. > :13:48.but the vapour, produced by heating the fluid electronically, is a lot
:13:49. > :13:53.less damaging than tobacco smoke. And experts backing e-cigarettes say
:13:54. > :13:57.tens of thousands of unnecessary If people were to switch
:13:58. > :14:04.wholeheartedly or completely to e-cigs, and even if they carried
:14:05. > :14:08.on using them for the rest of their lives, you'd be looking
:14:09. > :14:11.at cutting that number to no more So it's a huge potential
:14:12. > :14:17.public health gain. In less than a decade e-cigarettes
:14:18. > :14:20.have gone from a standing start to Today's report says they could
:14:21. > :14:27.prevent 6000 early deaths a year if a million smokers switch
:14:28. > :14:30.from tobacco. But last week's report said use of
:14:31. > :14:34.e-cigarettes among adolescents had And that is why some argue there is
:14:35. > :14:41.a danger of enticing younger people The biggest worry is that these
:14:42. > :14:47.cigarettes might be used to get a whole bunch of young people
:14:48. > :14:51.into the nicotine habit, We don't know what effect that
:14:52. > :14:56.would have in the long-term. We need more information
:14:57. > :14:58.and regulation. We are at the beginning
:14:59. > :15:02.of a new surge with these cigarettes and we just don't know enough about
:15:03. > :15:06.these things yet to say thumbs up. With apparently mixed messages
:15:07. > :15:08.coming from the medical profession perhaps
:15:09. > :15:11.it's not surprising that businesses In pubs like this, for example,
:15:12. > :15:17.you are allowed to use e-cigarettes Management
:15:18. > :15:25.at this bar say it is simply too difficult for staff at busy times to
:15:26. > :15:30.work out who is smoking tobacco There is a big marketing push
:15:31. > :15:36.on e-cigarettes, as major tobacco companies have been
:15:37. > :15:40.buying up some leading brands. Another twist
:15:41. > :15:44.in this often confusing story. Because it's vapour,
:15:45. > :15:46.not tobacco smoke. The Lord Mayor of London, Fiona
:15:47. > :15:54.Woolf, has been appointed as the new chair of a major inquiry into
:15:55. > :15:58.historical claims of child abuse. Ms Woolf, who's a tax lawyer,
:15:59. > :16:00.replaces Lady Butler-Sloss. She stepped down because
:16:01. > :16:04.of concerns that her brother was the Attorney-General at the time
:16:05. > :16:08.of some of the alleged abuse. Around 200 migrants have marched
:16:09. > :16:11.through Calais this afternoon demanding their "human rights and
:16:12. > :16:14.freedom", amid allegations of heavy handed tactics by police. Extra
:16:15. > :16:18.officers have been deployed in the town to cope with the increase in
:16:19. > :16:21.the number of migrants trying to get to Britain illegally. Lucy
:16:22. > :16:36.Williamson is there. As I talk to you tonight, the
:16:37. > :16:40.migrants we have been spending the evening with are somewhere in the
:16:41. > :16:45.darkness behind me, waiting by a highway for what they all call their
:16:46. > :16:49.chance. Some have been waiting for it for months. Thousands of miles
:16:50. > :16:55.from their families. We have been hearing their stories.
:16:56. > :17:00.At dusk, Calle' migrants begin their nightly walk in search of a truck
:17:01. > :17:04.that will smuggle them into Britain. John has been doing this for five
:17:05. > :17:09.months. In that time, he has lost a brother to the conflict back home in
:17:10. > :17:15.Sudan. It is the only thing that dampens his relentless humour. Faces
:17:16. > :17:16.like his are now part of the backdrop in Calais. Their stories
:17:17. > :17:39.are lost in the battle to survive. You have respect here in France.
:17:40. > :17:43.Today, some began a protest march to tell their stories, of police
:17:44. > :17:48.violence, they said, and lack of human rights. One man told me police
:17:49. > :17:53.had punched and kicked him to the ground. Another showed a broken arm.
:17:54. > :17:58.But few say they are giving up. Four British truckers, checking their
:17:59. > :18:03.vehicles is now a daily chore. And even tourists returning home our
:18:04. > :18:07.targets. And as numbers of migrants grow, the tension in the town is
:18:08. > :18:13.rising, too. TRANSLATION: The crypt -- the
:18:14. > :18:16.situation is getting critical. It is dangerous for the people who live
:18:17. > :18:21.here. I know the migrants are human beings but it seems they are
:18:22. > :18:26.settling down in Calais. Foremost, this is not the end but the last leg
:18:27. > :18:30.of a very long journey, across deserts and overseas, driven by a
:18:31. > :18:33.desire for work, a common, simple hardship, and that powerful
:18:34. > :18:39.universal emotion, hope. We heard earlier from the NATO
:18:40. > :18:42.summit in Wales about the situation in Ukraine, and concerns about
:18:43. > :18:45.the threat from Islamic State. But the global instability
:18:46. > :18:46.doesn't stop there. There's the recent conflict in Gaza,
:18:47. > :18:48.Islamic extremism in sub-Saharan Africa and tension
:18:49. > :18:51.in the South China Sea. Now,
:18:52. > :18:54.two decades after George Bush senior spoke of a new world order following
:18:55. > :18:58.the end of the Cold War, some are talking of a new world disorder,
:18:59. > :19:02.as turmoil appears to spread. John Simpson analyses
:19:03. > :19:04.the current situation, the causes and connections
:19:05. > :19:22.behind it, and what can be done. It has been a summer of blood, as
:19:23. > :19:29.bad as anything in recent times. Parts of Gaza city now look like
:19:30. > :19:34.Berlin in 1945. Journalists have been murdered gruesomely on camera,
:19:35. > :19:40.simply for being American. Innocent Iraqis have been targeted for not
:19:41. > :19:48.being Muslims. A new and ultraviolet groups have blazed their way across
:19:49. > :19:53.the region. Quiet towns have been destroyed and the inhabitants
:19:54. > :19:56.murdered, or enslaved. A commercial airliner was blasted out of the sky
:19:57. > :20:03.by a rogue missile, and everybody on board was killed. Over the summer,
:20:04. > :20:08.it really has looked as though a New World disorder is establishing
:20:09. > :20:12.itself. Europe has seen images reminiscent of the worst of the Cold
:20:13. > :20:21.War. Russia's intervention in Ukraine, the cost so far, 2000 dead,
:20:22. > :20:25.260,000 people displaced. In Iraq and Syria, we have watched the
:20:26. > :20:30.establishment of a self-proclaimed Islamic State across the region. The
:20:31. > :20:36.cost, hundreds of thousands dead, millions displaced. But the trouble
:20:37. > :20:42.isn't limited to these countries. In Nigeria, the ultra-Islamic Boko
:20:43. > :20:50.Haram, now dominates the north-east. 10,000 dead, more than 600,000
:20:51. > :20:53.displaced. Al-Shabab in Somalia has been responsible for heavy bloodshed
:20:54. > :21:02.in Kenya. 3000 dead, 1 million displaced. At present, the threats
:21:03. > :21:07.to peace seem manifold. Self-styled Islamic State, IS, has spread far
:21:08. > :21:14.and wide and has managed to attract support from various parts of the
:21:15. > :21:19.world. Last week in Afghanistan, for instance, I travelled north from
:21:20. > :21:23.Kabul to a province where we had arranged to meet a commander who was
:21:24. > :21:26.fighting alongside the Taliban. But now he said he was interested in
:21:27. > :21:34.linking up with Islamic State, ISIS.
:21:35. > :21:38.TRANSLATION: I know about ISIS and we have links with some of their
:21:39. > :21:42.members and we wait to see if they meet the requirements for an Islamic
:21:43. > :21:46.caliphate. If they do, we're ready to join them. They are great Islamic
:21:47. > :21:52.fighters. In Europe, our complacency has been interrupted by the
:21:53. > :21:57.infiltration of large numbers of heavily armed Russian troops into an
:21:58. > :22:01.independent country, Ukraine. President Putin's match oh tactics
:22:02. > :22:07.are only now being effectively challenged. By failing to act on
:22:08. > :22:11.threats we have created a permissive environment. For my money, there is
