:00:00. > :00:12.Tonight at Ten, a ceasef Bowen, ire brokered

:00:13. > :00:19.President Assad, despite his outward defiance today, is said to accept

:00:20. > :00:22.We have an exclusive report on life inside Aleppo

:00:23. > :00:25.where there's a glimmer of hope after a prolonged siege.

:00:26. > :00:28.It's been a long, hot and dangerous summer in Aleppo and you can see it

:00:29. > :00:31.in the fabric of the city, the damage that's been done.

:00:32. > :00:34.The ceasefire is meant to stop all of that.

:00:35. > :00:36.We'll be asking if the ceasefire is likely to hold as more

:00:37. > :00:42.Barely two months after he left Number Ten, David Cameron decides

:00:43. > :00:46.it's now time to leave the House of Commons.

:00:47. > :00:49.As a former Prime Minister, it is very difficult, I think,

:00:50. > :00:52.to sit as a backbencher and not be an enormous diversion

:00:53. > :00:54.and distraction from what the government is doing.

:00:55. > :01:00.The government's plans for new grammar schools in England

:01:01. > :01:03.have been set out by ministers but they've caused a deep

:01:08. > :01:09.Her opponents insist health is now an issue

:01:10. > :01:16.Welcome to the Great British Bake Off.

:01:17. > :01:19.And one of the BBC's most successful and popular programmes

:01:20. > :01:34.coming up in BBC News, Josh Butler says the England cricket team

:01:35. > :01:36.respects the decision of Eoin Morgan and Alex Hales not to tour

:01:37. > :01:54.Bangladesh due to security reasons. The ceasefire in Syria brokered

:01:55. > :01:57.by Russia and the USA came It's probably the last chance

:01:58. > :02:04.to obtain peace in a united Syria according to John Kerry,

:02:05. > :02:07.the US Secretary of State. Russia has promised that its ally,

:02:08. > :02:10.President Assad of Syria, But several rebel groups

:02:11. > :02:14.have demanded guarantees because they fear they will still be

:02:15. > :02:18.targeted by Assad's forces. During the day there's been more

:02:19. > :02:21.fighting in the northern Our Middle East editor Jeremy Bowen

:02:22. > :02:24.travelled there today The further you drive north in Syria

:02:25. > :02:34.the more intense the war becomes. This road is the regime's fragile

:02:35. > :02:39.link between Damascus and Aleppo. Rebels caught it this summer

:02:40. > :02:42.where it reaches the Aleppo suburbs and were only driven back by Syrian

:02:43. > :02:48.troops of the weekend. and were only driven back by Syrian

:02:49. > :02:51.troops at the weekend. Shelling was still going

:02:52. > :02:53.on as we drove in. Government artillery

:02:54. > :02:55.hitting rebel positions. It's been a long, hot and dangerous

:02:56. > :03:00.summer in Aleppo and you can see it in the fabric of the city,

:03:01. > :03:04.the damage that's been done. The ceasefire is meant

:03:05. > :03:08.to stop all of that. Since the fighting started

:03:09. > :03:10.here in 2012, the west side of the city has been

:03:11. > :03:14.in government hands. Armed opposition groups

:03:15. > :03:17.control the East. Four years of fighting

:03:18. > :03:22.have devastated Aleppo. This gives an idea of the firepower

:03:23. > :03:25.of the Syrian army and its Russian backers who have been making

:03:26. > :03:29.gains around Aleppo. One of the big questions

:03:30. > :03:32.about the ceasefire is whether they are prepared

:03:33. > :03:36.to give their enemies a chance Groups backed by the Americans have

:03:37. > :03:47.been told they have two separate Groups backed by the Americans have

:03:48. > :03:50.been told they have to separate from more radical militias

:03:51. > :03:52.who they regard as allies. And another important rebel group

:03:53. > :03:55.which is backed by Saudi Arabia has already rejected

:03:56. > :03:58.the ceasefire agreement. TRANSLATION: The deal

:03:59. > :04:03.that was announced between the US and Russia to resolve the issue

:04:04. > :04:06.in Syria does not achieve in our view the basic minimum goals

:04:07. > :04:09.set by our avenging people. They will lose all their

:04:10. > :04:11.sacrifices and gains. In Damascus, President Bashar

:04:12. > :04:16.al-Assad chose to celebrate the Muslim festival of Eid

:04:17. > :04:18.by visiting and praying It was in rebel hands for five years

:04:19. > :04:25.until they surrendered at the end of August after what the UN called

:04:26. > :04:29.an unrelenting siege. President Assad's government has

:04:30. > :04:33.backed the ceasefire but his words suggested that he has

:04:34. > :04:40.unfinished military business. TRANSLATION: The Syrian state

:04:41. > :04:42.is determined to recover all areas To restore security,

:04:43. > :04:46.to rebuild the infrastructure and everything else

:04:47. > :04:49.that was destroyed in both human We came here today to replace

:04:50. > :04:56.the fake freedom that they tried to promote at the beginning

:04:57. > :04:59.of the crisis. The holiday is being celebrated

:05:00. > :05:10.even though there was a steady thunder of artillery

:05:11. > :05:16.fire throughout the day. The ceasefire agreement

:05:17. > :05:19.is complicated, potentially fragile and all sides in the war doubt

:05:20. > :05:24.whether it can work. At the very least it might be

:05:25. > :05:28.a respite for the people Today's ceasefire doesn't include

:05:29. > :05:37.jihadist groups such On Syria's border with Turkey

:05:38. > :05:42.another battle for control is taking place as Free Syrian Army soldiers

:05:43. > :05:45.backed by Turkish troops have been battling to take

:05:46. > :05:50.back territory from IS. Turkey is hoping to establish

:05:51. > :05:54.a 70-mile zone with no IS presence along the Syrian side of the border

:05:55. > :05:57.while also excluding Recent military action has been

:05:58. > :06:03.around the town of Jarabulus. Our correspondent Mark Lowen

:06:04. > :06:06.and cameraman Goktay Koraltan are among the first Western

:06:07. > :06:09.journalists to reach the town A month ago, they'd have been

:06:10. > :06:17.killed for doing this, but now Jarabulus is free

:06:18. > :06:21.from so-called Islamic State Rebel soldiers supported by Turkey

:06:22. > :06:26.took back the Syrian border town after three years,

:06:27. > :06:33.and we were taken in to see it. 20,000 refugees have returned

:06:34. > :06:37.to the jihadists' former stronghold, but the shadow of IS will be hard

:06:38. > :06:41.to erase, a brutal time when enemies were executed at these

:06:42. > :06:48.posts for all to see. This woman was forced

:06:49. > :06:51.to bear witness. Her son was beheaded by IS,

:06:52. > :06:56.who then brought his head to her. "We lived here in

:06:57. > :06:58.a prison," she says. "We couldn't leave

:06:59. > :07:02.or talk to anyone. "They forced us to cover

:07:03. > :07:04.up and stay inside. Turkey was once a reluctant partner

:07:05. > :07:11.in the anti-IS coalition, but it led the rebels this time,

:07:12. > :07:14.both seizing the chance to hit Kurdish fighters too,

:07:15. > :07:19.they see as a threat. A rebel commander tells me they are

:07:20. > :07:22.aiming to retake the capital TRANSLATION: There is no

:07:23. > :07:28.difference between IS and Kurdish militia,

:07:29. > :07:30.they are both terrorist Now we have won back

:07:31. > :07:35.Jarabulus, we feel confident TRANSLATION: There is no

:07:36. > :07:43.difference between IS We will go towards Raqqa

:07:44. > :07:45.and liberate all Syrian land. Turkey has managed to,

:07:46. > :07:48.in effect, get here what it has long called for -

:07:49. > :07:50.a de facto safe zone, pushing IS out, but just

:07:51. > :07:52.as importantly for Turkey, keeping Kurdish fighters away,

:07:53. > :07:54.allowing refugees to come Turkey now feels emboldened by this

:07:55. > :07:58.operation and says it will push The militants are excluded

:07:59. > :08:05.from this ceasefire. The battle against IS will intensify

:08:06. > :08:10.if that ceasefire elsewhere holds. There is still nervousness here,

:08:11. > :08:14.ID checks amongst rumours of sleeper cells but life is returning

:08:15. > :08:17.to Jarabulus and the momentum Mark Lowen, BBC News,

:08:18. > :08:27.Jarabulus, nothern Syria. With me now is our diplomatic

:08:28. > :08:39.Correspondent James Landale. What is the assessment of how robust

:08:40. > :08:42.the ceasefire is likely to be? John Kerry the US Secretary of State said

:08:43. > :08:46.the deal brokered by the Russians is by no means perfect and was very

:08:47. > :08:51.open about that but also said this, in his view, maybe it's the last

:08:52. > :08:54.chance to see a united Syria. The problem is we've had ceasefires

:08:55. > :08:58.before and they have not always lasted and the opposition groups are

:08:59. > :09:02.very sceptical about this one. Some of them are very rotten to break

:09:03. > :09:06.away from their allies of links to Al-Qaeda as a dealer requires them

:09:07. > :09:10.to but many of them also simply don't believe Syrians will do what

:09:11. > :09:13.the Russians are asking, namely that they end the barrel bombing.

:09:14. > :09:17.President Assad was clear, he said he wanted to recover the whole of

:09:18. > :09:22.Syria but that does not sound like a man about to lay down arms. There's

:09:23. > :09:26.the added confusion that this ceasefire does not apply to all the

:09:27. > :09:30.fighting in Syria. If there are seven days of calm, potentially we

:09:31. > :09:33.could see the United States and Russia coordinating military attacks

:09:34. > :09:38.against the so-called Islamic State group and the other faction with

:09:39. > :09:42.links to Al-Qaeda. Tonight it's too early to assess whether its holding.

:09:43. > :09:47.There's clearly some violence still taking place but people were

:09:48. > :09:51.expecting that. I think the question will come, what does this sustained

:09:52. > :09:55.over the next few days? They were likely to be a reduction of

:09:56. > :09:59.violence, yes, some humanitarian aid going in, yes, the beginning of the

:10:00. > :10:02.end of the conflict? Very, very unlikely. OK, James, thank you very

:10:03. > :10:04.much. David Cameron is to leave

:10:05. > :10:07.the House of Commons. His decision to resign as an MP

:10:08. > :10:09.comes barely two months after he stood down as Prime Minister

:10:10. > :10:12.following his defeat At the time he said he'd

:10:13. > :10:15.continue as a backbench MP. But he's now concerned

:10:16. > :10:18.about being a distraction and said he wanted to remove the risk

:10:19. > :10:20.of causing any difficulties Our political editor

:10:21. > :10:27.Laura Kuenssberg has more details. Not just out of Number 10,

:10:28. > :10:33.but out of politics too. Despite the promise he would go on,

:10:34. > :10:36.David Cameron is walking Friends say he doesn't want to be

:10:37. > :10:42.a backseat driver and make life With modern politics,

:10:43. > :10:48.the circumstances of my resignation, it is pretty possible to be a proper

:10:49. > :10:52.backbench MP as a former Prime I think everything you do will

:10:53. > :10:57.become a big distraction and a big diversion from what the government

:10:58. > :11:02.needs to do for our country. No Tory leader had ever posed

:11:03. > :11:06.with huskies before but no Tory leader had ever put such a premium

:11:07. > :11:10.on changing their party. And it took them back to power

:11:11. > :11:13.albeit through the early That rose garden moment

:11:14. > :11:19.some came to regret. Being a Prime Minister of coalition

:11:20. > :11:22.is quite different to being a Prime Minister of a single party

:11:23. > :11:25.government because it requires a lot It requires an ability to persuade

:11:26. > :11:30.people of your point of view and to listen to other people

:11:31. > :11:33.who don't share your point of view and I think he did all of those

:11:34. > :11:36.things and he did those Before, after a decade

:11:37. > :11:41.as Tory leader, winning Taking on Labour

:11:42. > :11:47.opponent number four. It's the end of one political

:11:48. > :11:54.period, the opening of another one and I think we should just respect

:11:55. > :11:57.people when they move on to do But the headline of David Cameron's

:11:58. > :12:04.chapter in history will be promising and then losing

:12:05. > :12:09.his referendum gamble. The British people have spoken

:12:10. > :12:11.and the answer is we are out. Transforming the UK's place

:12:12. > :12:13.in the world, turning Just as Tony Blair will be

:12:14. > :12:22.remembered in history as the man who took us into Iraq,

:12:23. > :12:24.David Cameron will be remembered as the man who accidentally took

:12:25. > :12:27.is out of Europe and it's very sad. Friends denied he's flounced out

:12:28. > :12:30.because he doesn't agree with the new boss, but there's

:12:31. > :12:33.a real danger they admit anything he says could drive a wedge

:12:34. > :12:35.and David Cameron himself Obviously I'm going to have my own

:12:36. > :12:41.views about different issues. People would know that and that's

:12:42. > :12:43.really the point. As a former Prime Minister,

:12:44. > :12:47.it is very difficult I think to sit as a backbencher and not be

:12:48. > :12:49.an enormous diversion and distraction from

:12:50. > :12:52.the government is doing. He was sometimes accused

:12:53. > :12:55.of believing his own hype. Nothing is really impossible

:12:56. > :12:59.if you put your mind to it. After all, as I once said,

:13:00. > :13:04.I was the future once. Such recent history feels already

:13:05. > :13:11.so much in the past. We can talk to our political

:13:12. > :13:19.editor Laura Kuenssberg. Money talks about diversions and

:13:20. > :13:23.distractions, is that because he foresaw agreements and disagreements

:13:24. > :13:29.coming up the Theresa May's government? I think there's an

:13:30. > :13:32.element of that and as part of his final U-turn. Theresa May 's

:13:33. > :13:36.government has looked more different and more of a departure from David

:13:37. > :13:42.Cameron 's previous administration than many Tories expected. She was

:13:43. > :13:45.ruthless and clearing out his people and she's been absolutely unafraid

:13:46. > :13:49.of distancing herself from him, junking some of his ideas, and I

:13:50. > :13:53.think, bluntly, it would have been hard for David Cameron to support

:13:54. > :13:57.wholeheartedly everywhere proposal she was putting forward, every idea

:13:58. > :14:01.that she had. Some people in this particular circle are pretty cross

:14:02. > :14:05.about the way the new administration has behaved but they deny that David

:14:06. > :14:08.Cameron has gone off in a stroppy here, because he does not agree with

:14:09. > :14:14.what she's been getting up to and I think, as with any big decision in

:14:15. > :14:19.life, a mixture of motivations. Being a form anything, former Prime

:14:20. > :14:24.Minister, leader, former minister, is pretty difficult around here. Any

:14:25. > :14:26.raised eyebrow, any absence from the crucial vote could have been

:14:27. > :14:30.interpreted or misinterpreted in a way that might have made life very

:14:31. > :14:34.difficult for Theresa May and I think David Cameron genuinely did

:14:35. > :14:38.not want that to happen. At the end of the day, though, politicians are

:14:39. > :14:42.an ambitious breed. If you have a top job and it slips away, maybe the

:14:43. > :14:46.motivation for putting in the hours slipped away too. All right, Laura,

:14:47. > :14:48.thanks very much. Laura at Westminster.

:14:49. > :14:50.The Government's controversial plans for new grammar schools in England

:14:51. > :14:54.All state schools would be able to select pupils by academic ability

:14:55. > :14:58.But there would be conditions attached.

:14:59. > :15:00.New grammar schools would have to ensure a share

:15:01. > :15:03.of places went to pupils from low-income backgrounds.

:15:04. > :15:05.And pupils would be able to enter at 14 and 16 years

:15:06. > :15:11.They would also have to offer help to nonselective schools.

:15:12. > :15:12.Our Education editor Branwen Jeffreys has been

:15:13. > :15:19.What do you think is going to happen?

:15:20. > :15:24.Suddenly that question is so much harder to answer.

:15:25. > :15:29.This is one of the four grammar schools in Southend,

:15:30. > :15:33.the Essex Borough academically selective schools, and now pupils

:15:34. > :15:36.travel as far as 20 or 30 miles to study here.

:15:37. > :15:40.There is a lot of demand for grammar school education.

:15:41. > :15:43.Parents value it, the students value it, and they are willing

:15:44. > :15:45.to make the sacrifice, for want of better words,

:15:46. > :15:50.Here, they want to see the detail, but they will consider

:15:51. > :15:56.This isn't the only grammar school that is oversubscribed.

:15:57. > :15:58.It's not unusual for grammar school pupils to travel

:15:59. > :16:05.Their parents want the option of a highly academic education,

:16:06. > :16:11.and that's the political calculation behind this policy.

:16:12. > :16:13.When we talk about selection in this country, we have to acknowledge

:16:14. > :16:18.that we now have selection by house price already.

:16:19. > :16:21.For those who are able to buy a house in the catchment area

:16:22. > :16:28.Under Labour we have education, education, education.

:16:29. > :16:31.This Government's mantra is segregation,

:16:32. > :16:41.Just up the Thames from Southend, Tilbury is built around its docks.

:16:42. > :16:45.Local councillors say they'd welcome grammar schools but not

:16:46. > :16:49.My brother went to a grammar school years and years ago,

:16:50. > :16:54.but it does split kids up a bit, doesn't it?

:16:55. > :17:00.You can almost guarantee that whatever you're

:17:01. > :17:02.going to learn there, you are going to get it.

:17:03. > :17:04.You're going to get your qualifications there, you know?

:17:05. > :17:07.What if a ten-year-old comes to you and says, "Mum, I failed."

:17:08. > :17:09.That's a ten-year-old saying she's failed.

:17:10. > :17:14.Schools here are already struggling to raise standards, so today

:17:15. > :17:16.questions from senior Tories about how the impact

:17:17. > :17:25.Will she accept that we will be tested by how far she can

:17:26. > :17:30.in specific ways ensure that this change does not damage

:17:31. > :17:34.the opportunities for any people in other schools?

:17:35. > :17:36.From another former Education Secretary,

:17:37. > :17:45.In the face of the opposition to all reform and all debate

:17:46. > :17:48.from the dogmatists on that side of the House, she will be driven

:17:49. > :17:55.Most secondary schools in England are run by academy trusts.

:17:56. > :17:57.Today, one of the biggest, which runs almost 50 schools,

:17:58. > :18:00.said they won't bring back selection because they don't believe

:18:01. > :18:04.it will close the gap between rich and poor.

:18:05. > :18:08.We believe in opportunity for all, we believe no child should be left

:18:09. > :18:12.behind, we believe every child matters, and a return to the failed

:18:13. > :18:14.policy of grammar schools from our past is just not

:18:15. > :18:29.As we come through the gates, we will call for the ball...

:18:30. > :18:31.These plans will have to get past many opponents

:18:32. > :18:34.Not just from the official opposition parties,

:18:35. > :18:41.but backbench Tory MPs and wary academy school bosses.

:18:42. > :18:46.Following Hillary Clinton's admission that she's been treated

:18:47. > :18:49.for pneumonia, her Republican opponent,

:18:50. > :18:53.right to make health an issue in the presidential campaign.

:18:54. > :18:55.Mrs Clinton was forced to leave yesterday's 9/11 memorial event

:18:56. > :18:58.in New York when she apparently felt unwell, and she's cancelled

:18:59. > :19:02.Our North America editor Jon Sopel looks at the likely impact

:19:03. > :19:09.of the health question on the Clinton campaign.

:19:10. > :19:11.There's only one topic of conversation today in America

:19:12. > :19:18.What impact will it have on the race?

:19:19. > :19:21.How long will she be laid up with pneumonia?

:19:22. > :19:23.It can run the full gamut from relatively mild,

:19:24. > :19:26.walking pneumonia if you will, all the way to being critically ill,

:19:27. > :19:30.being in the intensive care unit requiring a breathing tube.

:19:31. > :19:35.As long as she's being treated appropriately with the proper

:19:36. > :19:39.antibiotics, it seems like she will make a full recovery.

:19:40. > :19:42.No flowers or grapes, but there was this Donald Trump.

:19:43. > :19:51.I don't know what's going on, like you I just see what I see.

:19:52. > :19:55.The coughing fit was a week ago so I assume that was pneumonia also.

:19:56. > :20:00.The coughing fit came in Cleveland last week,

:20:01. > :20:03.though she did her best to make a joke of it.

:20:04. > :20:09.Every time I think about Trump, I get allergic!

:20:10. > :20:11.And yesterday too after her collapse, she tried to make

:20:12. > :20:22.But it would be hours before her team would admit she had

:20:23. > :20:25.pneumonia, even though the diagnosis had come days earlier,

:20:26. > :20:29.and on social media even friends have been critical.

:20:30. > :20:31.This is David Axelrod, who was Barack Obama's

:20:32. > :20:46.And today the campaign admitted to being at fault.

:20:47. > :20:49.It took us a bit to get that information together

:20:50. > :20:53.In retrospect, I think we should have provided more

:20:54. > :20:58.And so a new twist in the race for the White House.

:20:59. > :21:03.Health is now a major issue, and though it may sound trivial

:21:04. > :21:06.to talk about the lack of openness with which her illness

:21:07. > :21:08.was communicated, it feeds into a narrative.

:21:09. > :21:11.Whether it be about her e-mail server, or money raised

:21:12. > :21:12.by the Clinton foundation, there's a sense there

:21:13. > :21:15.is a lack of transparency, and Hillary Clinton can't afford

:21:16. > :21:21.to give voters new reasons to doubt her.

:21:22. > :21:24.But that she did at the weekend, when she described millions

:21:25. > :21:28.You could put half of Trump's supporters into what I call

:21:29. > :21:39.Well, Hillary Clinton lives a sequestered life behind gates

:21:40. > :21:45.She mocks and demeans hard-working Americans,

:21:46. > :21:48.who only want their own families to enjoy a fraction of the security

:21:49. > :21:55.In this seesawing battle, it is Donald Trump's campaign

:21:56. > :21:58.which seems to be in rude health, while Hillary Clinton's

:21:59. > :22:13.Hillary Clinton is due back out on the road on Wednesday when she is

:22:14. > :22:17.meant to be going to Las Vegas, and in two weeks you have the first

:22:18. > :22:21.presidential debate which is seen as crucial to both of the candidates.

:22:22. > :22:26.Hillary Clinton has tweeted, thanks to everyone who has reached out with

:22:27. > :22:30.the well wishes, I'm feeling fine and getting better. But a lot of

:22:31. > :22:35.people on social media are saying if you cannot cope with a memorial

:22:36. > :22:41.service, how will you manage the pressures of the White House? That

:22:42. > :22:43.may not be fair, but who said politics was fair?

:22:44. > :22:45.Thank you for the latest on the campaign.

:22:46. > :22:46.Detectives investigating the murder of the black teenager

:22:47. > :22:49.Stephen Lawrence in south-east London 23 years ago have launched

:22:50. > :22:52.a new witness appeal after the DNA of an unknown woman was found

:22:53. > :22:59.The DNA was found on the strap of a bag found close

:23:00. > :23:03.Police don't believe the woman was involved in the attack but may

:23:04. > :23:06.They think the strap was left by Stephen Lawrence's attackers

:23:07. > :23:11.and might have been part of an improvised weapon.

:23:12. > :23:15.The general-secretary of the TUC, Frances O'Grady, has condemned

:23:16. > :23:18.what she called greedy companies which treat workers like animals.

:23:19. > :23:21.Speaking at their annual conference in Brighton, she singled out

:23:22. > :23:23.employers who declared their workforce to be self-employed

:23:24. > :23:31.Our industry correspondent John Moylan reports from Brighton.

:23:32. > :23:34.Jonathan is a courier for a delivery firm.

:23:35. > :23:37.Rain or shine, he works ten hours a day.

:23:38. > :23:42.But because he's self-employed, he misses out on some workers'

:23:43. > :23:47.rights, so when he was off sick recently he didn't get paid.

:23:48. > :23:49.It is branded to me as flexibility but what it really means

:23:50. > :24:00.I have to save up for when I'm ill or when I'm on holiday.

:24:01. > :24:02.It simply means that I'm on my own and my company

:24:03. > :24:08.The growth of insecure work is a new front

:24:09. > :24:12.A long campaign at Sports Direct forced the company to end zero hours

:24:13. > :24:14.contracts in its stores, and now the delivery firm

:24:15. > :24:17.Hermes is in the spotlight amid claims its couriers make less

:24:18. > :24:25.It is now facing a possible inquiry into its working practices.

:24:26. > :24:28.So, today at Congress, the head of the TUC had this

:24:29. > :24:32.Any greedy business that treats its workers like

:24:33. > :24:45.If you run a big brand with a dirty little secret, a warehouse

:24:46. > :24:47.where people don't even get paid the minimum wage,

:24:48. > :24:49.a fleet of couriers who are slaves to the app,

:24:50. > :24:54.We are on our way, delegates, we are coming for them.

:24:55. > :24:58.But for some, casual work isn't a problem.

:24:59. > :25:02.Steve Rowe is a driver with taxi firm Uber.

:25:03. > :25:04.He likes being self-employed and is relaxed about not

:25:05. > :25:16.I want to be independent, I want to be able to drive

:25:17. > :25:19.when I want to drive, I want to be able to work

:25:20. > :25:22.on my projects when I want to work on my projects.

:25:23. > :25:24.And with the Uber platform, I have total flexibility.

:25:25. > :25:26.Self-employment is growing, as is the number of people who say

:25:27. > :25:29.they are on zero hours contracts, so unions here know that protecting

:25:30. > :25:31.workers in this so-called gig economy, where people juggle

:25:32. > :25:33.a number of insecure jobs, well that's becoming

:25:34. > :25:45.It's been another successful day for Britain's Paralympians in Rio.

:25:46. > :25:48.Will Bayley overcame his disappointment in 2012 and a crowd

:25:49. > :25:51.backing his Brazilian opponent today to win gold in the table tennis.

:25:52. > :25:54.While Aled Davis set a record in his shot put category.

:25:55. > :26:02.Our sports correspondent Andy Swiss reports.

:26:03. > :26:10.If you have ever wondered what being Paralympic champion means, here is

:26:11. > :26:14.the answer. Will Bayley was born with a condition that restricts the

:26:15. > :26:18.movement of his limbs, but when he was seven his grandmother bought him

:26:19. > :26:23.a table tennis table and this is where it has let him. He was up

:26:24. > :26:29.against Brazil's Israel Stroh and most of the crowd, but after silver

:26:30. > :26:35.in London, it was gold. And what a celebration. His clambering onto the

:26:36. > :26:44.table earned him a yellow card, not that he seemed to mind. He later

:26:45. > :26:48.told me it was the fulfilment of a lifelong dream. I have given

:26:49. > :26:53.everything to try and win the gold medal and I mean everything. I have

:26:54. > :26:58.had blisters on my feet for years and years, going to bed thinking I'm

:26:59. > :27:02.never going to achieve my dreams. I can live my life knowing I have done

:27:03. > :27:06.something which I thought could never happen. Meanwhile a sweltering

:27:07. > :27:14.day proved the sweetest for Aled Davies. One of the stars of 2012

:27:15. > :27:18.with a new Paralympic record in the shot put and another gold medal for

:27:19. > :27:23.Britain's expanding gold collection. Finished off by the flashing blades

:27:24. > :27:29.of Richard Whitehead as he charged the 200 metres. Behind him Dave

:27:30. > :27:33.Henderson, just five years after losing his legs in an explosion in

:27:34. > :27:40.Afghanistan, barely believable bronze medal. Another of yesterday's

:27:41. > :27:44.champions says in this British team, success is inspiring success. I

:27:45. > :27:48.remember on Friday night coming back from my event and there is a slow

:27:49. > :27:52.motion of Jonnie Peacock coming through the line, he has won, and

:27:53. > :27:57.Richard Whitehead and a few others added to this thing, the swimmers

:27:58. > :28:05.are it as well, and it leads to more and more and you want to be part of

:28:06. > :28:13.that club. Hoping to join that club, Abby Kane only turned 13 last month,

:28:14. > :28:18.but she reached her final. She had to settle for sixth place but it was

:28:19. > :28:23.a personal best and some debut. Also in the swimming pool, Ellie Simmonds

:28:24. > :28:28.broke the Paralympic record on her way to the final to the individual

:28:29. > :28:35.medley. After gold in London, could it be a repeat in Rio?

:28:36. > :28:40.Yes, Ellie Simmonds goes for gold at around 20 to midnight your time. She

:28:41. > :28:46.will star as the favourite but let's look at the medal table as things

:28:47. > :28:51.stand. Great Britain in second place behind China, with 25 gold medals,

:28:52. > :28:53.and with six days still remaining here, they will be expecting plenty

:28:54. > :28:56.more to come. One of the BBC's most successful

:28:57. > :28:58.and popular programmes the Great British Bake Off

:28:59. > :29:02.is to move to Channel 4. The independent company

:29:03. > :29:04.which makes the programme, signed a three-year deal

:29:05. > :29:16.with Channel 4. Love Productions had told staff

:29:17. > :29:18.they'd been unable to reach But the BBC said there were limits

:29:19. > :29:23.to what it could pay and it had made a very strong offer

:29:24. > :29:25.to keep the programme. Our correspondent David Sillito

:29:26. > :29:26.reports. The winner of the 2015

:29:27. > :29:31.Great British Bake Off is... A baking competition that's

:29:32. > :29:36.beaten allcomers. 15 million people watched Nadiya win

:29:37. > :29:56.last year's Bake Off but it's now It's a pretty bad day for the BBC.

:29:57. > :30:00.The BBC have nurtured a show that I don't think any other broadcaster

:30:01. > :30:04.would have done and turned it into this massive hit.

:30:05. > :30:08.The Bake Off negotiations have been going on for about a year now

:30:09. > :30:11.The BBC's offer was rejected and Love Productions went down

:30:12. > :30:14.the road and signed a three-year deal with Channel 4.

:30:15. > :30:22.In a statement this evening, they said:

:30:23. > :30:25.the first big programme the BBC has lost recently.

:30:26. > :30:34.Channel 4 took over Formula One and The Voice has gone to ITV.

:30:35. > :30:36.But does it matter to viewers?

:30:37. > :30:41.One former Bake Off winner feels so long as it's the same show,

:30:42. > :30:46.I did a poll on my Facebook and other social media

:30:47. > :30:52.and lots of people were really outraged that it's moving.

:30:53. > :30:55.My gut feeling was a bit of a shock to begin with.

:30:56. > :31:01.And now, I've got my head round it I'm a little bit calmer.

:31:02. > :31:03.Channel 4 will begin with a celebrity Bake Off

:31:04. > :31:09.The presenters, they've only just been told.

:31:10. > :31:11.Negotiations are yet to begin, but when this year's champion

:31:12. > :31:14.is finally revealed, it really will be a showstopper

:31:15. > :31:37.Tonight is a serious ceasefire begins, an interview with the

:31:38. > :31:43.spokesman with a jihadi group, still a target for Russian warplanes. And

:31:44. > :31:46.how did the BBC managed to lose the Great British Bake Off to Channel 4?
