:00:16. > :00:17.The new champions of the Premier League have been praised
:00:18. > :00:19.by their mananger for showing exceptional commitment
:00:20. > :00:23.and overcoming overwhelming odds to get to the top.
:00:24. > :00:29.I think the secret is the harmony and the love and the passion
:00:30. > :00:35.Across Leicester, there was unanimous agreement
:00:36. > :00:37.that it was great for the game of football - and great
:00:38. > :00:40.for the profile of the city around the world.
:00:41. > :00:43.I think it's enormous, it is going to make such a difference.
:00:44. > :00:47.Last night, we were here till 1.00 in the morning, partying all night,
:00:48. > :00:51.unbelievable, and we are back here again today.
:00:52. > :00:55.We'll have reaction from Leicester after a day that few will forget.
:00:56. > :01:02.More casualties in the Syrian city of Aleppo, but Russia says it hopes
:01:03. > :01:08.to stop the fighting by extending a partial truce.

:01:17. > :01:21.from school in protest at new tests for six and seven-year-olds.
:01:22. > :01:24.And we make a rare visit to North Korea, where the country's

:02:06. > :02:09.celebrating one of the greatest sporting turnarounds of all time.
:02:10. > :02:11.The team - which won the Premier League late last night -
:02:12. > :02:14.has made headlines around the world, after a year which saw
:02:15. > :02:18.them rise from being relegation candidates to title holders.
:02:19. > :02:20.The Italian prime minister, Matteo Renzi, called it
:02:21. > :02:23.the "greatest feat in English football history", before adding
:02:24. > :02:27.that Leicester's manager, Claudio Ranieri, is himself Italian.
:02:28. > :02:37.Our sports editor, Dan Roan, is in Leicester tonight.
:02:38. > :02:46.Leicester City's stadium has been the focal point for remarkable
:02:47. > :02:49.scenes of jubilation. 5,000-1 rank outsiders to win the title before
:02:50. > :02:52.the start of the season. The new champions confounded the doubters
:02:53. > :02:54.and breathed new life into the game. How did they do it? What happens
:02:55. > :03:03.next? Champions like never before.
:03:04. > :03:07.Leicester City, players, coaches and the club's owners together for the
:03:08. > :03:11.first time since they were crowned the latest and least likely winners
:03:12. > :03:18.the Premier League has ever seen. I feel good. I feel good. It was an
:03:19. > :03:23.amazing achievement for me, for the lads, for the chairman, for our
:03:24. > :03:28.fans. It is something special. Unbelievable! Last night, the squad
:03:29. > :03:34.watched as Spurs drew against Chelsea and that handed them the
:03:35. > :03:38.title. And today, the fans continued their celebrations, the like of
:03:39. > :03:44.which this city has never seen. It is just enormous. It is going to
:03:45. > :03:48.make such a difference. People keep saying about Richard III, do you
:03:49. > :03:52.think it has had luck on the team. He doesn't play football, does he?
:03:53. > :03:55.The boys have done it! Last night, we were here until 1.00 in the
:03:56. > :04:04.morning, partying all night. Unbleechable! -- unbelievable! We
:04:05. > :04:12.are back here today. This is a story that has made headlines around the
:04:13. > :04:17.world. He from Italy to Asia. And across the United States. If ever
:04:18. > :04:23.there was a David versus Goliath story in sport, we saw it tonight.
:04:24. > :04:26.In Thailand Buddhist monks held a ceremony celebrating the team's
:04:27. > :04:31.success. The club's Thai owners flew into Leicester's training ground to
:04:32. > :04:35.congratulate a team that's turned the football world upside-down. The
:04:36. > :04:39.city centre later brought to a stand-still as the players went out
:04:40. > :04:45.for celebratory lunch, thousands of fans there to greet them. I remember
:04:46. > :04:48.back when we were in League One, we used to sell out half the stadium.
:04:49. > :04:52.They have stuck with the team through thick and thin. It is worthy
:04:53. > :04:56.that they get to enjoy this moment like the players do. What are the
:04:57. > :05:00.secrets of Leicester's success? The team cost just ?23 million, a
:05:01. > :05:04.fraction of their wealthier rivals, but the club scouts unearthed gems
:05:05. > :05:08.where others barely looked, making up in spirit what they lacked in
:05:09. > :05:12.star names. Ranieri using all his vast experience to forge a skilful,
:05:13. > :05:20.super-fit and resolute team. They have bought very well in the summer,
:05:21. > :05:25.last summer, they have added pace to the squad and ability. It is about
:05:26. > :05:28.the club as a whole, about the directors, the manager in
:05:29. > :05:32.particular, it reminds me of Brian Clough, keep your feet on the floor,
:05:33. > :05:38.and the players have worked hard as a team. Where do the champions go
:05:39. > :05:40.from here? The title is worth around ?150 million to Leicester and with
:05:41. > :05:45.the Champions League to come, it should make it easier to hold on to
:05:46. > :05:49.their star players. The challenge to confound those who see this as a
:05:50. > :05:54.footballing one-off. Will Leicester's success be a game
:05:55. > :05:58.changer? Rivals could look to copy their recruitment policy in search
:05:59. > :06:02.of the next Jamie Vardy and more money flowing to the smaller clubs
:06:03. > :06:05.thanks to a record TV deal could level the Premier League playing
:06:06. > :06:10.field, already shaken up by the new champions. It alter it is dynamics
:06:11. > :06:14.for everybody, those clubs who feel they have underachieved this season,
:06:15. > :06:18.it will give them renewed determination to come back and be
:06:19. > :06:21.stronger. For those who consider themselves like a Leicester, and
:06:22. > :06:24.there must be a broad range of those clubs, there's probably 15 to 20
:06:25. > :06:28.clubs either side of Leicester's size that will consider themselves
:06:29. > :06:35.to be similar, and therefore it gives them hope and it gives anybody
:06:36. > :06:42.some hope that it can be achieved. Leicester's triumph has put a smile
:06:43. > :06:43.on the face of football, a club now forever associated with sport's
:06:44. > :06:51.enduring ability to surprise. Leicester can now look forward to
:06:52. > :06:54.being presented with the Premier League Trophy after their match
:06:55. > :06:59.against Everton here on Saturday, more scenes no doubt of celebration
:07:00. > :07:03.then. In the modern game, where money rules, this kind of thing
:07:04. > :07:06.simply wasn't meant to happen. Only four clubs in the previous 20 years
:07:07. > :07:10.have won the Premier League title, the four richest clubs. Somehow, it
:07:11. > :07:14.has and football will never be the same again. Dan Roan there, our
:07:15. > :07:19.sports editor in Leicester tonight. Russia says it hopes
:07:20. > :07:20.it can stop the violence in Syria's largest city,
:07:21. > :07:22.Aleppo, but there's been more fighting during the day,
:07:23. > :07:24.with Syrian state media reporting that rockets fired by rebel
:07:25. > :07:25.forces have hit a hospital in a government-held district,
:07:26. > :07:28.killing at least three people. Our diplomatic correspondent,
:07:29. > :07:52.James Robbins, has more details. This is what Syria's thread-bare
:07:53. > :07:57.ceasefire looks like in Aleppo. President Assad's regime,
:07:58. > :08:01.backed by Russia, is determined to retake the whole of Syria's
:08:02. > :08:05.largest city, but Washington accuses them of ignoring civilian casualties
:08:06. > :08:08.and treating both Western-backed rebels and Islamist
:08:09. > :08:12.extremists as the enemy. As long as Assad is there,
:08:13. > :08:16.the opposition is not going to stop fighting him,
:08:17. > :08:19.one way or the other. So, it will continue
:08:20. > :08:23.and there will be no long-term But rebel forces too
:08:24. > :08:32.are being blamed for this attack on a hospital in a government-held
:08:33. > :08:35.area of Aleppo. At least 14 people in the district
:08:36. > :08:37.are reported dead. The White House seems
:08:38. > :08:40.to accept that version. And Russia is talking up prospects
:08:41. > :08:46.for a pause in the fighting. TRANSLATION: Now we are concluding
:08:47. > :08:48.negotiations between the Russian and United States military to extend
:08:49. > :08:52.the ceasefire already in place If you want to see the weaknesses
:08:53. > :08:57.and contradictions in Syria's patchy ceasefire, which now
:08:58. > :09:00.threaten the entire, already fragile Geneva Peace Talks,
:09:01. > :09:04.then the battle for Aleppo brings Situated in this corner of Syria,
:09:05. > :09:11.look at the range of forces, represented in different
:09:12. > :09:14.colours, that are here. The government control areas in blue
:09:15. > :09:18.and with Russian help, they're trying to take
:09:19. > :09:21.the whole city. Rebel forces, shown in cream,
:09:22. > :09:24.are still holding on in eastern districts, but huge complication -
:09:25. > :09:27.they're a mix of Western-backed opposition and al-Nusra extremists,
:09:28. > :09:32.who are regarded as legitimate targets by the United States
:09:33. > :09:36.as well as by Russia. Moscow is demanding
:09:37. > :09:39.that the so-called moderates leave to avoid attack,
:09:40. > :09:42.which would obviously make the regime's task of retaking
:09:43. > :09:46.the city all the easier. Ever since Russia sent its own
:09:47. > :09:49.troops and its own planes in, in September 2015, it has been
:09:50. > :09:51.the dominant external Whether or not it actually
:09:52. > :09:56.translates to direct leverage over the Assad regime,
:09:57. > :09:59.we're not sure. Clearly, of the external actors
:10:00. > :10:02.involved in this conflict, An early end to the suffering of
:10:03. > :10:12.Syria's people seems very unlikely. The two major powers both say
:10:13. > :10:15.they're committed to some sort of ceasefire and to
:10:16. > :10:18.a political settlement. They may agree on some
:10:19. > :10:21.of the words some of the time, but they still disagree profoundly
:10:22. > :10:25.about what a post-war Syria might At Birmingham Crown Court,
:10:26. > :10:35.a woman has been found guilty of murdering an 18-month-old girl
:10:36. > :10:38.in her care. Kandyce Downer - who's 34 and has
:10:39. > :10:41.four children of her own - had denied murdering
:10:42. > :10:44.Keegan Downer last September. A jury heard that the toddler
:10:45. > :10:46.had broken bones and a serious head injury -
:10:47. > :10:48.and multiple scars Our correspondent,
:10:49. > :10:54.Sian Lloyd, reports. Keegan Downer, described
:10:55. > :10:59.as a bright and happy baby. Filmed by her foster family just
:11:00. > :11:02.weeks before she left their care In January 2015, Candice Downer
:11:03. > :11:10.became her legal guardian. Her ex-husband was a cousin
:11:11. > :11:13.of Keegan's father. Birmingham Social Services had
:11:14. > :11:17.approached the mother of four when they were looking
:11:18. > :11:21.to find Keegan a new home. But within a year, she'd
:11:22. > :11:23.murdered the toddler, after subjecting her
:11:24. > :11:26.to months of abuse. Darren knew Keegan when she lived
:11:27. > :11:36.with the original foster family. I hate her for what she's done
:11:37. > :11:47.to that little, beautiful, amazing, Keegan had 153 scars and marks
:11:48. > :11:55.across her face and body. Both her thigh bones
:11:56. > :11:58.had been fractured. The toddler had suffered a serious
:11:59. > :12:03.head and spinal injury, thought to have been caused
:12:04. > :12:05.by shaking, up to a month Medical experts said
:12:06. > :12:09.it was a miracle she'd She would have been
:12:10. > :12:15.in excruciating pain. I personally haven't come to terms
:12:16. > :12:19.with the level of brutality and violence inflicted on such
:12:20. > :12:22.a beautiful child. I don't understand
:12:23. > :12:34.why it's happened. Keegan was taken to hospital,
:12:35. > :12:38.after emergency services received that 999 call,
:12:39. > :12:42.but it was too late. Just minutes before phoning
:12:43. > :12:45.for an ambulance, Candice Downer had dumped bin bags in a street nearby
:12:46. > :12:49.containing the toddler's Candice Downer had been
:12:50. > :13:00.assessed by Social Services, The department is in special
:13:01. > :13:04.measures, following the deaths of several children in the city
:13:05. > :13:06.and tonight, once again, social workers here in Birmingham
:13:07. > :13:09.are under scrutiny. A Serious Case Review will be
:13:10. > :13:12.published in the summer to look at whether all the necessary checks
:13:13. > :13:16.were carried out. During the trial, Candice Downer
:13:17. > :13:20.even blamed her 17-year-old son and her other, younger children
:13:21. > :13:23.for Keegan's injuries, Police think she may never reveal
:13:24. > :13:30.why she killed Keegan. She showed no emotion
:13:31. > :13:33.when the guilty verdict was returned A court has heard how
:13:34. > :13:44.a pensioner was stabbed 39 times by another driver
:13:45. > :13:47.following a minor road accident. Mathew Daley denies murdering
:13:48. > :13:50.Don Lock, but he has admitted attacking the 79-year-old, after
:13:51. > :13:54.their cars collided in West Sussex. Lewes Crown Court was told that
:13:55. > :13:58.Daley's family had warned doctors about his mental health
:13:59. > :14:05.and that he risked harming someone. The frontrunner for the Republican
:14:06. > :14:08.US presidential nomination, Donald Trump, could win a key
:14:09. > :14:10.victory in primary elections The polls suggest he has opened up
:14:11. > :14:16.a big lead. If he takes Indiana,
:14:17. > :14:19.he will be virtually unstoppable in his bid to become the party's
:14:20. > :14:23.candidate in November. Our correspondent, Nick Bryant,
:14:24. > :14:26.is at Trump Tower in New York for us, where Donald Trump
:14:27. > :14:28.is expected to watch the results So, Nick, if he wins
:14:29. > :14:39.Indiana, he looks like he's Is he right when he says the race is
:14:40. > :14:45.almost over? I think they'll have a couple of bottles of vintage shame
:14:46. > :14:47.pain on ice here tonight. Not that Donald Trump will drink them, he's
:14:48. > :14:53.tea total. The polls suggest they will be celebrating tonight. Indiana
:14:54. > :14:57.is such a potentially decisive contest, it's where the stop Trump
:14:58. > :15:02.forces hoped to block his path to the nomination, starving him of the
:15:03. > :15:08.delegates he needs to win. His rivals even entered into a loose
:15:09. > :15:12.alliance to try and unite the anti- Trump vote. That Strathy appears to
:15:13. > :15:17.have -- strategy appears to have fired. A lot of people can't bring
:15:18. > :15:19.themselves to vote for Ted Cruz. A senior colleague described him as
:15:20. > :15:22.Lucifer in the flesh. Victory tonight for Donald Trump doesn't
:15:23. > :15:28.mean he clinches the nomination tonight. What it does mean, it makes
:15:29. > :15:31.him virtually unstoppable, of the remaining contests, she is so strong
:15:32. > :15:39.in so many, including California, The biggest prize of all. But this
:15:40. > :15:44.really is due or die for the stop-Trump forces. That's why the
:15:45. > :15:46.war of words between Ted Cruz and Donald Trump almost became nuclear

:28:58. > :29:01.true for Leicester's young fans. It was amazing because I've been a
:29:02. > :29:06.Leicester fan for so long. It's just nothing like this has ever happened.
:29:07. > :29:11.It was just so, like, emotional, the fact that we could achieve this. We
:29:12. > :29:17.were at the bottom of the league last year. Now we're at the top.
:29:18. > :29:21.It's just a miracle. Vardy! Believing in miracles might just be
:29:22. > :29:24.the thing in Leicester. This is a city that recently reburied a king,
:29:25. > :29:31.whose remains were found in a car park. It started just over a year
:29:32. > :29:34.ago with King Richard III. We thought that came with global

:29:40. > :29:43.it's here! I'm proud of the city. I'm proud of the players. I'm proud
:29:44. > :29:49.of my children. I'm proud of being a teacher. Leicester! Premier League
:29:50. > :29:55.success is new here, but Leicester has long been known for its
:29:56. > :29:58.diversity. This is one of Britain's most multicultural high streets,
:29:59. > :30:03.representing 23 countries and four continents. Many here say football
:30:04. > :30:06.will bring people together. I was at the stadium last night, immediately
:30:07. > :30:11.after Leicester had won the title, and there was an incredible range of
:30:12. > :30:15.people - men and women, from very different communities. So I think
:30:16. > :30:20.there is a general pleasure in what's happened over the last couple
:30:21. > :30:28.of days. This is when I signed for Leicester. The feel-good factor has
:30:29. > :30:32.reached fever pitch. Dwain more ton first signed in 1977 at the age of
:30:33. > :30:37.14. I feel proud to tell you I used to play for Leicester City. Before I
:30:38. > :30:42.used to never tell nobody, now I'm telling everybody I played for
:30:43. > :30:46.Leicester City. There's no shortage of success stories. At 5,000-1, Lee
:30:47. > :30:51.placed a ?5 bet on Leicester winning the Premier League. The bulk of the
:30:52. > :31:00.money is going to be used towards a deposit on a house, on my first
:31:01. > :31:04.house. Wow. Just, thank you Leicester, thank you Claudio
:31:05. > :31:12.Ranieri. Thank you the whole team. Thank you... Thank you my football
:31:13. > :31:14.club. As the party continues for Leicester City, dreaming has turned
:31:15. > :31:19.into believing. There are elections
:31:20. > :31:24.across the country on Thursday. Like the Premier League,
:31:25. > :31:27.there will be winners and losers. We'll be asking which of those
:31:28. > :31:28.categories Jeremy Corbyn Join me now on BBC Two,
:31:29. > :31:35.11pm in Scotland. Here on BBC One, it's time
