:06:17. > :06:22.can see, he said, the whole country is destroyed.
:06:23. > :06:26.Syria is the most savage example of the way that the old political order
:06:27. > :06:33.across the Middle East is decaying. World and regional powers and
:06:34. > :06:35.powerful ideologies are competing to shape the future. Syrians sometimes
:06:36. > :06:41.say that if the foreigners went away they might be able to make peace. If
:06:42. > :06:46.that was ever true, it is too later. The Middle East is in a period of
:06:47. > :06:50.post-dash-macro profound historical change, the result of a century of
:06:51. > :06:56.misrule, disastrous foreign intervention, stagnation and
:06:57. > :07:04.oppression. This war is part of all of that, no longer it is so hard to
:07:05. > :07:08.stop. That was Jeremy earlier today. We can join him live now. Let's have
:07:09. > :07:13.your assessment of the state of the ceasefire now?
:07:14. > :07:18.There is no doubt that there have been violations, as you saw in my
:07:19. > :07:22.report, people in hospital getting treated, who have been killed as
:07:23. > :07:27.well, since the ceasefire came in. But there is also no doubt that the
:07:28. > :07:33.overall level of warfare, the level of casualties, has gone down. What
:07:34. > :07:39.can be read into this for the future of Syria? It is very, very early,
:07:40. > :07:48.too early, really. If this week added to next it can be calm, the
:07:49. > :07:52.Syrian air force will be partially granted, there will be restrictions
:07:53. > :07:57.on where it can bomb, and as well as that, humanitarian aid will move,
:07:58. > :08:01.and the idea is, after that, that the Americans and Russians will get
:08:02. > :08:06.together and mount attacks on jihadists. Now, if you look at the
:08:07. > :08:09.kinds of things that come out of both sides here, you saw in my
:08:10. > :08:14.report those words coming from the spokesman from a rebel group, saying
:08:15. > :08:19.that, essentially, they will not rest until the Assad regime has
:08:20. > :08:22.gone, then a couple of days ago in Damascus President Assad said he
:08:23. > :08:27.would not rest until they have got back all the territory that the
:08:28. > :08:31.people he called terrorists have taken. Puts together, that rhetoric,
:08:32. > :08:37.that makes me think that there is quite a bit of fighting left to do
:08:38. > :08:39.in this war. Jeremy, once again, thank you very much, our Middle East
:08:40. > :08:41.editor in Aleppo. Pauline Cafferkey, the nurse

:12:35. > :12:40.Europe, with the migrant and the Euro crisis, Mr Junker said the EU
:12:41. > :12:45.project was in mortal danger. The EU vote to leave is probably the
:12:46. > :12:50.biggest body blow yet. But Brexit was given little mention today by Mr

:13:44. > :13:51.the rights of EU citizens to apply for EU jobs. Cue Nigel Farage, the
:13:52. > :13:58.two man famous here for their testy relationship. If you stick to the

:14:17. > :14:20.new invigorated EU beginnings. But instead it highlighted the biggest
:14:21. > :14:28.headaches in the EU. No start date and a lack of clarity surrounding
:14:29. > :14:33.Brexit on one hand, and a real fear that the voters out there across
:14:34. > :14:37.Europe no longer trust or believe in the EU. But, perhaps, that is part
:14:38. > :14:42.of a bigger process. The problem is the loss of trust of
:14:43. > :14:47.ordinary citizens. How'd you change it? Ordinary citizens, working hard
:14:48. > :14:52.and playing by the rules, don't feel respected, not only by the European
:14:53. > :14:57.Union. Look worldwide. Look to the election campaign in the United

:15:01. > :15:04.politicians from traditional political parties, growing number of
:15:05. > :15:09.voters distrust what they see as a self-serving elite. The EU needs

:17:36. > :17:38.military intervention in Libya, in 2011, has been sharply criticised
:17:39. > :17:40.by a parliamentary committee. The Foreign Affairs Select Committee
:17:41. > :17:42.accused him of pursuing an "opportunist policy of regime
:17:43. > :17:44.change" to remove Colonel Gaddafi and it said the lack of a coherent
:17:45. > :17:48.strategy had left Libya in chaos, allowing the growth
:17:49. > :17:49.of so-called Islamic State. Our diplomatic correspondent,
:17:50. > :17:51.James Landale, has been Libya is an unstable country,
:17:52. > :18:00.a place where militias compete for power, where the Islamic State
:18:01. > :18:03.group has a foothold, where migrants pour across unprotected borders
:18:04. > :18:05.en route for the sea. A chaotic picture which MPs say
:18:06. > :18:08.is the result of David Cameron's decision, five years ago,
:18:09. > :18:10.to send in warplanes to support We were not prepared
:18:11. > :18:18.for the consequences of a regime change in Libya and all the analysis
:18:19. > :18:22.being done here was based on, frankly, a pretty limited
:18:23. > :18:24.understanding of exactly The aim of the invention
:18:25. > :18:29.in March 2011 was to protect the people living in Benghazi,
:18:30. > :18:34.threatened by Gaddafi's forces. But the Foreign Affairs Committee
:18:35. > :18:37.says the threat to civilians was overstated by
:18:38. > :18:42.inaccurate intelligence. Now over the summer,
:18:43. > :18:44.as fighting continued, the aim of the operation changed
:18:45. > :18:52.from protecting civilians, to getting rid of Gaddafi
:18:53. > :18:54.and the committee said this was "an opportunist policy of regime
:18:55. > :18:57.change that was not underpinned by a strategy to support
:18:58. > :18:59.Libya afterwards." In particular, the MPs say more
:19:00. > :19:02.should have been done to use Tony Blair's contacts to see
:19:03. > :19:05.if a political deal was possible, a collusion that one former rebel
:19:06. > :19:11.leader rejects out of hand. I believe if it was not done,
:19:12. > :19:24.Libya would have been much worse The situation in Libya would have
:19:25. > :19:27.been something like Syria In September 2011, after Gaddafi's

:19:44. > :19:53.Committee says that this did not happen and David Cameron
:19:54. > :19:56.was ultimately responsible for the failure to develop
:19:57. > :19:58.a coherent Libya strategy. But diplomats and ministers involved
:19:59. > :20:01.in the decision to intervene said it was backed by MPs
:20:02. > :20:05.and the United Nations, it was responding to a real threat
:20:06. > :20:09.and it wasn't clear that leaving Gaddafi in place would have

:26:36. > :26:37.because councils aren't preparing them for life after care.
:26:38. > :26:39.That's the warning from the Children's Society,
:26:40. > :26:42.which says many vulnerable teenagers end up homeless and in debt

:27:04. > :27:06.for any young adult, but for teenagers who've been

:27:17. > :27:18.I've been homeless, basically, since I've left care.
:27:19. > :27:22.You have to fend for yourself, basically, and it's really hard.
:27:23. > :27:24.For people like Michael, a child of the care system,

:27:38. > :27:45.I don't really have friends, I'm always on my own.
:27:46. > :27:51.At the Lifeshare charity they're doing all they can to help Michael
:27:52. > :27:57.Young people who leave care are supposed to get council support,
:27:58. > :28:07.but here they know that that system is struggling.
:28:08. > :28:10.So young people can get very frustrated because they're ringing
:28:11. > :28:12.up to speak to the leaving careworkers but, unfortunately,
:28:13. > :28:15.the leaving careworker might have 35 other young people on their books
:28:16. > :28:17.so hasn't got that time to give that, perhaps,
:28:18. > :28:19.emotional support that that young person is desperately needing.

:28:45. > :28:48.When my girlfriend was pregnant, we got sanctioned.
:28:49. > :28:51.Some nights I, literally, used to sit there and make sure
:28:52. > :28:55.she has a meal, even if I didn't eat because I know she needed it more
:28:56. > :28:57.than me because she's not only feeding herself, she's
:28:58. > :29:01.Parents these days know that kids need support well after the age
:29:02. > :29:09.of 18, but for those coming out of care there is no mum or dad
:29:10. > :29:13.to help with those basic life skills, like using a washing
:29:14. > :29:15.machine, preparing a meal or managing their money.
:29:16. > :29:18.They're being set up to fail and the local authorities need to be
:29:19. > :29:20.doing more to support them when they do leave care,
:29:21. > :29:26.The Government is promising to help care leavers entering
:29:27. > :29:31.society with training costs and apprenticeships.
:29:32. > :29:33.They will be exempt from housing benefit cuts and local authorities
:29:34. > :29:36.will be asked to offer them a personal adviser until they're 25.
:29:37. > :29:43.Young people go in to care because they sometimes have led very
:29:44. > :29:45.damaged lives and so often need a lot of support.
:29:46. > :29:49.Councils have a difficult job in this area, it's made a lot harder
:29:50. > :29:51.by the enormous scale of Government funding cuts to councils
:29:52. > :29:53.which are really stretching many services to the limit.
:29:54. > :29:57.For those on the streets, help can't come soon enough.
:29:58. > :30:00.What I hope for the future is that I can better myself and just move

:30:22. > :30:24.Their Belgian opponents, Club Brugge, were warned
:30:25. > :30:27.by their manager not to underestimate their opposition
:30:28. > :30:29.but, as Joe Wilson reports, Leicester put
:30:30. > :30:50.Well, the plan the authorities had was to escort the Leicester fans
:30:51. > :30:58.with tickets from here, the town centre, down to the ground.
:30:59. > :31:02.The only thing is, only about 1,400 of these lucky ones had tickets,
:31:03. > :31:06.There were Leicester players like captain Wes Morgan who'd barely

:31:21. > :31:23.A goal for Marc Albrighton, a player signed by Leicester
:31:24. > :31:26.Now defenders may not have seen him before in Belgium,
:31:27. > :31:28.but that player hurtling by you is Jamie Vardy.
:31:29. > :31:32.Free-kicks are only valuable if someone takes them properly.
:31:33. > :31:40.OK, so by the second-half, Brugge knew about Jamie Vardy,
:31:41. > :31:52.Penalty, not quite so far from Mahrez this time.
:31:53. > :31:54.Well, Kasper Schmeichel was beaten in the Leicester
:31:55. > :31:56.goal in the second-half, but there was the post.
:31:57. > :31:58.Leicester rested, early night for Vardy, job done,
:31:59. > :32:01.Sure there are better teams than Brugge in Europe,
:32:02. > :32:06.but Leicester played here, well, like champions.
:32:07. > :32:14.The one thing that might aggrieve Leicester fans without a ticket are
:32:15. > :32:23.the empty seats not taken by home supporters. 85,000 at Wembley, Spurs
:32:24. > :32:27.lost 2-1 to Monaco. Manchester City won by 4-0. Midnight approaches here
