Intense efforts at the UN to save what's left

:00:00.:00:00.

All aid convoys in Syria are suspended after last night's

attack on lorries carrying vital supplies.

Just when we think it cannot get any worse, the bar

We'll be asking if there's any chance now that a diplomatic

We'll round up a busy night of League Cup action,

:00:55.:01:03.

including plenty of goals between Claudio Ranieri's champions

:01:04.:01:05.

Intense efforts are under way at the United Nations

:01:06.:01:32.

to salvage what's left of the ceasefire in Syria.

:01:33.:01:35.

Aid convoys have been suspended after yesterday's attack on 31

:01:36.:01:38.

The International Committee of the Red Cross said at least

:01:39.:01:43.

It described what happened as a flagrant violation

:01:44.:01:47.

Russia, Syria and the US have all said they weren't responsible.

:01:48.:01:52.

Our correspondent James Robbins reports from the UN in New York.

:01:53.:02:01.

Aid for Syria's most desperate, attacked and destroyed.

:02:02.:02:03.

Aid workers and truck drivers killed.

:02:04.:02:06.

If the ceasefire wasn't already dead, it's hard

:02:07.:02:09.

Moscow and Damascus deny any involvement, hinting the fires

:02:10.:02:14.

here mysteriously started as opposition forces

:02:15.:02:17.

mounted attacks elsewhere, but last night someone deliberately

:02:18.:02:20.

targeted vital UN supplies for 78,000 people.

:02:21.:02:27.

This the house of the Syrian Christians.

:02:28.:02:31.

This is full of blankets from the refugee agency.

:02:32.:02:42.

The United Nations is outraged, oordering the suspension of all

:02:43.:02:44.

It's sickening, it's disgusting and if it is proved to be

:02:45.:02:51.

deliberate, it would amount to a war crime.

:02:52.:02:54.

Our hearts go out to those who've lost lives.

:02:55.:02:56.

They were the selfless people bravely trying to get aid

:02:57.:02:59.

into people who so desperately need it in eastern Aleppo.

:03:00.:03:03.

There are many injured and the warehouses are destroyed.

:03:04.:03:06.

Now Russia's Defence Ministry has released drone footage it says

:03:07.:03:08.

Moscow says that for a time the convoy had a rebel escort

:03:09.:03:15.

with a mortar on a pick-up truck and that there's no evidence

:03:16.:03:19.

This quite separate attack on eastern Aleppo is further

:03:20.:03:26.

The victims in this rebel-held area bear witness to that.

:03:27.:03:32.

Syrian forces had already declared the ceasefire over,

:03:33.:03:35.

But all sides have breached the ceasefire and the Russians

:03:36.:03:41.

stress the accidental US bombing of Syrian troops at the weekend

:03:42.:03:43.

Seen from the perspective of the United Nations,

:03:44.:03:49.

here in New York, dedicated to peace, any sort of ceasefire,

:03:50.:03:52.

however fragile, must be better than all out war,

:03:53.:03:55.

but to fighters on the ground it can look very different.

:03:56.:03:58.

The rebel side fears a peace settlement could strip

:03:59.:04:01.

President Assad and his Russian backers still believe they can

:04:02.:04:06.

Still, the United States hopes to salvage something,

:04:07.:04:11.

but watch John Kerry and the UN Syria envoy and look at today's

:04:12.:04:14.

cold, distance between them and Russia's Foreign Minister,

:04:15.:04:16.

In this diplomatic turmoil, the UN Secretary General

:04:17.:04:22.

was unusually blunt using his final speech to accuse Syria's government

:04:23.:04:25.

of the greatest war crimes of a very dirty war.

:04:26.:04:30.

Just when we think cannot get any worse, the bar

:04:31.:04:32.

Many groups have killed many innocents, but none more

:04:33.:04:40.

The destruction of the aid convoy, the killing of aid workers,

:04:41.:04:50.

whoever was responsible, symbolises a war in Syria

:04:51.:04:53.

James Robbins, BBC News, at the United Nations in New York.

:04:54.:05:04.

Our chief international correspondent, Lyse Doucet,

:05:05.:05:06.

The aid convoys have stopped. Millions of people in Syria need

:05:07.:05:15.

that food. Is there any hope of rescuing that ceasefire? There were

:05:16.:05:18.

many doubters about this ceasefire. Many felt that John Kerry was to use

:05:19.:05:28.

their expression, on a fool's erand, that this truce would never hold.

:05:29.:05:31.

They were right. When you are in the deep, dark hole that is Syria, any

:05:32.:05:35.

pinprick of light is grasped. I spoke to someone in that meeting

:05:36.:05:39.

this morning, of all the groups involved in Syria, 11 foreign

:05:40.:05:43.

ministers around the table, including Sergey Lavrov and John

:05:44.:05:46.

Kerry, and was told that everyone at that table, when they supported the

:05:47.:05:49.

Syrian government or the opposition said we have to get this truce back

:05:50.:05:53.

on track. But that nobody knew how to do that. All that they've agreed

:05:54.:05:57.

so far here in New York is that because they're all here in one

:05:58.:06:01.

city, they will try again to meet later this week to try to get it

:06:02.:06:05.

started. A lot of pressure is on John Kerry and on Sergey Lavrov, but

:06:06.:06:09.

the relationship between these two men, who have been meeting for

:06:10.:06:13.

months, is strained again. In the last few hours, American officials

:06:14.:06:17.

told me that they believe it was Russian War planes who attacked that

:06:18.:06:23.

UN convoy. They said, they used the military term called a double tap,

:06:24.:06:27.

they said that was too sophisticated for the Syrian Air Force. They

:06:28.:06:30.

believe that the Russians did it. You ask, why would they do that,

:06:31.:06:33.

it's signed the deal. It's known in the Russian military, as in the

:06:34.:06:38.

American military, they're deeply sceptical about the deal between

:06:39.:06:40.

Russia and America and they don't want it to go ahead. Even though we

:06:41.:06:46.

say that everyone is saying it's not dead, it's hanging by a thread, they

:06:47.:06:50.

will continue to try to do something to bring Syria back from the brink.

:06:51.:06:54.

To do nothing would be to say that what's happening in Syria is

:06:55.:07:00.

acceptial. -- acceptable. But it is not. Possible war crimes are being

:07:01.:07:06.

committed day in, day out. Its not just Syria's war any more. It's

:07:07.:07:08.

everyone's war. Thank you.

:07:09.:07:11.

After eight-and-a-half hours of negotiations,

:07:12.:07:14.

Labour's ruling body - the National Executive Committee -

:07:15.:07:16.

has failed to agree on how to form its Shadow Cabinet.

:07:17.:07:19.

The party's deputy leader, Tom Watson, had proposed that MPs

:07:20.:07:21.

should be allowed to elect Shadow Cabinet members.

:07:22.:07:24.

But the party's leader, Jeremy Corbyn, was calling

:07:25.:07:26.

for ordinary party members to have a say.

:07:27.:07:29.

Our political editor, Laura Kuenssberg, reports.

:07:30.:07:32.

Just a warning, there are some flashing images.

:07:33.:07:36.

COMMENTATOR: What do you make of the result? He must be used to the

:07:37.:07:42.

flashes of the camera. Thank you so much for cam ra. Really nice to see

:07:43.:07:47.

you. On the verge of Jeremy Corbyn winning for a second time. Thank you

:07:48.:07:50.

very much, good night. Labour can't yet agree on how to come together.

:07:51.:07:56.

Your signature on there, please. There's no question about the huge

:07:57.:08:00.

appeal he has to legions of supporters. But this is the problem

:08:01.:08:06.

- now you see them, but after Jeremy Corbyn lost the support of dozens of

:08:07.:08:11.

his Shadow team, now you don't. His replacement Shadow ministers are

:08:12.:08:14.

more loyal, but far less experienced. The team has vacancies.

:08:15.:08:20.

So during eight-and-a-half hours of talks a plan was proposed by the

:08:21.:08:23.

Deputy Leader to elect the Shadow team. But after waiting and waiting

:08:24.:08:29.

and waiting, tonight's agreement was just to talk some more.

:08:30.:08:32.

REPORTER: Are you disappointed you didn't get through your reforms? No

:08:33.:08:37.

I'm pleased. We had a positive meeting.. Talks to bring the PLP

:08:38.:08:43.

back together reporting to the National Executive Committee, on

:08:44.:08:46.

Saturday. But Jeremy Corbyn wants a bigger, longer review of the party's

:08:47.:08:52.

democracy, basking, secure in support from thousands upon

:08:53.:08:55.

thousands of party members. His team is in no hurry to give way. There

:08:56.:09:02.

was a positive, I think productive conversation, workman-like, there's

:09:03.:09:06.

much more to do. If there have been discussions for more than eight

:09:07.:09:09.

hours already, it doesn't bode well for agreement being reached on this.

:09:10.:09:14.

This was a range of conversations. I wouldn't want to leave you with the

:09:15.:09:18.

impression that somehow we spent hours discussing a single subject.

:09:19.:09:22.

Discussions are one thing. Divisions are another. In Labour, there's

:09:23.:09:27.

still one big one. His supporters believe with heart and soul Jeremy

:09:28.:09:30.

Corbyn is the solution. Most MPs think he's the problem.

:09:31.:09:34.

This bruising leadership contest has not changed that at all.

:09:35.:09:37.

Laura Kuenssberg is at Westminster now.

:09:38.:09:40.

It's been a dramatic few months in the Labour Party and yet more

:09:41.:09:43.

drama tonight as the leadership ballot is about to close?

:09:44.:09:46.

That's right. Labour went into this contest divided and upset. I think

:09:47.:09:54.

it ends this contest, we're almost there now, in the same state. The

:09:55.:09:58.

wounds of was been a pretty brutal year in Westminster for the Labour

:09:59.:10:01.

Party are still fresh and if anything, the summer's contest has

:10:02.:10:05.

actually deepened them. In the last few minutes, Owen Smith, the man

:10:06.:10:09.

who's been trying to oust Jeremy Corbyn after challenging him for the

:10:10.:10:12.

leadership has released a statement. He's thanked his members and

:10:13.:10:16.

supporters around the country. But sources close to him say far from

:10:17.:10:20.

this being an admission of defeat, in fact, he's being defiant. He

:10:21.:10:24.

said, "I regret the state that the party is in, but I do not regret

:10:25.:10:28.

being the one to say it." From his side of the argument, there's no

:10:29.:10:32.

sign at all of any kind of Peace Talks forth coming. If today's

:10:33.:10:37.

discussions, more than eight hours, with few clear agreements on the big

:10:38.:10:41.

proposals, if they're a taste of what's to come, that's a sign of

:10:42.:10:45.

just how difficult it's going to be for Labour to pull together, after

:10:46.:10:49.

Saturday's result, whatever it is going to be. It doesn't bode well.

:10:50.:10:51.

Laura, thank you. The Prime Minister, Theresa May,

:10:52.:10:54.

has used her first speech at the United Nations in New York

:10:55.:10:56.

to say that Britain will not turn away from the world

:10:57.:10:59.

despite the vote to leave the EU. Addressing the General Assembly

:11:00.:11:02.

she said the UK would continue to be a "confident, strong

:11:03.:11:05.

and dependable" From New York, here's our deputy

:11:06.:11:06.

political editor, John Pienaar. Theresa May's moving in powerful

:11:07.:11:21.

circles just now, but even before the presidents and prime ministers

:11:22.:11:24.

get to know her, the relationships are changing. Today President Obama,

:11:25.:11:29.

who appealed to Britain, don't leave the EU, urged countries, don't turn

:11:30.:11:32.

inwards, work together. Mrs May's trying to show that's the plan. One

:11:33.:11:36.

leader then another almost before the last one's out the door.

:11:37.:11:40.

Sometimes high diplomacy looks a bit like Speed Dating. Theresa May's

:11:41.:11:45.

pitch - Britain may be leaving the you're, but was -- EU but was still

:11:46.:11:48.

a global player. When the British people voted to leave the EU, they

:11:49.:11:52.

did not vote to turn inwards or walk away from any of our partners in the

:11:53.:11:56.

world. Britain's global role would continue. The UN mattered, but

:11:57.:12:00.

leaders had to listen to their people. Faced with challenges like

:12:01.:12:05.

migration, a desire for greater control of their country, and a

:12:06.:12:10.

mounting sense that globalisation is leaving working people behind, they

:12:11.:12:14.

demanded a politics that is more in touch with their concerns and bold

:12:15.:12:20.

action to address them. Her key ministers watching, she set out

:12:21.:12:24.

future cooperation, more help and an international conference on fighting

:12:25.:12:28.

Islamist militants in Somalia. More aid for refugees in Eritrea. And the

:12:29.:12:32.

Paris treaty on international climate change would be approved by

:12:33.:12:38.

the end of the year. Another summit in Bratislava last week showed

:12:39.:12:43.

Britain may have a hard task ahead. The Slovakian leader, who met

:12:44.:12:46.

Theresa May in July, said Brexit would be painful for Britain, to

:12:47.:12:49.

show life outside the EU could be tough. Theresa May insists she'll

:12:50.:12:53.

get a good deal for Britain in Europe and the world. Maybe so, but

:12:54.:12:57.

redesigning Britain's role will be hard. No-one, it her included, can

:12:58.:13:01.

know the final outcome. And there'll be plenty of political struggles

:13:02.:13:06.

along the way. In countless summits and conferences to come, the UK's

:13:07.:13:10.

future as a political and trading power will take shape. A long

:13:11.:13:14.

journey, while Theresa May's urged to go faster or slower by political

:13:15.:13:21.

back seat drivers. How she copes for patient demands for detail, the

:13:22.:13:22.

nagging question - are we there yet? A brief look at some

:13:23.:13:26.

of the day's other news stories. The Liberal Democrat leader has

:13:27.:13:29.

appealed to Labour members to join his party to stop

:13:30.:13:31.

the Conservatives winning Tim Farron told his party's

:13:32.:13:33.

conference that only they can provide "strong

:13:34.:13:38.

opposition" to the Government. He also demanded another referendum

:13:39.:13:40.

on the final deal that is negotiated The Welsh Government says it

:13:41.:13:43.

will create thousands of apprenticeships and expand free

:13:44.:13:48.

childcare under its new But the minority Labour government

:13:49.:13:51.

accepted that such pledges would have to be offset

:13:52.:13:56.

by cuts elsewhere. The British Medical Association has

:13:57.:14:00.

expressed concerns about plans to force consultants to reveal how

:14:01.:14:02.

much they earn from NHS England wants to make

:14:03.:14:05.

the system more transparent. It's thought about half

:14:15.:14:21.

and New Jersey at the weekend, says he told the authorities two

:14:22.:14:24.

years ago that his son But the FBI say he later

:14:25.:14:27.

retracted that claim. Our correspondent,

:14:28.:14:32.

Nick Bryant, is in New York. He retracted that claim, but was it

:14:33.:14:35.

investigated all the same? Sophie, back in August 2014, the FBI

:14:36.:14:47.

carried out what is called an assessment of Rahami. It conducted

:14:48.:14:51.

multiple interviews. It got in contact with other law enforcement

:14:52.:14:57.

agencies. It put his name through various internal databases. Now none

:14:58.:15:01.

of them turned up any evidence that he had any tie was terrorism. So

:15:02.:15:05.

after a few weeks, they decided to shut that assessment down. Now what

:15:06.:15:11.

they didn't do was actually interview Rahami himself. That looks

:15:12.:15:15.

like a bad mistake now because effectively they took him off their

:15:16.:15:19.

own radar. What we've also learned is that when Rahami was arrested

:15:20.:15:23.

after that shootout with police, he was carrying a note book. It was

:15:24.:15:26.

drenched in blood. It even had a bullet hole through it. But in it,

:15:27.:15:32.

also, were writings about jihadist ideology and he also made mention of

:15:33.:15:43.

Osama bin Laden and the Boston bombings. He went to Afghanistan. He

:15:44.:15:48.

had a year long stay in Pakistan. Investigators will seek to determine

:15:49.:15:52.

whether that was where he was radicalised. Did he make contact

:15:53.:15:56.

with other terror groups? And also, was that where he learned how to

:15:57.:16:00.

make bombs? Because law enforcement officials are saying that these were

:16:01.:16:04.

quite skilled bombs. He didn't learn how to do this just off the

:16:05.:16:06.

internet. Thank you. The war in Yemen has pushed one

:16:07.:16:11.

of the poorest countries in the Middle East to the brink

:16:12.:16:15.

of famine, threatening the lives Early last year, Yemen's government

:16:16.:16:18.

was overthrown by rebel forces. Soon after, a Saudi-led coalition -

:16:19.:16:32.

backed by Britain and the US - began carrying out

:16:33.:16:35.

a bombing campaign in Yemen More than 3,500 civilians have

:16:36.:16:37.

been killed in the war, and both sides have been

:16:38.:16:40.

accused of atrocities. It's left around two million people

:18:24.:18:30.

can't digest normal milk. Before the war the milk he needs

:18:31.:18:35.

was widely available, but his condition now

:18:36.:18:39.

is life-threatening. It's not just the villages

:18:40.:18:43.

that are struggling. This war has forced 600 hospitals

:18:44.:18:48.

to close down and lack of supplies has pushed this central

:18:49.:18:51.

hospital to the brink. Children are the most

:18:52.:18:57.

affected by malnutrition. Here, hunger has left
