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 | :14:06. | :14:10. | |
of England's 46,000 NHS The father of the man being held | :14:11. | :14:14. | |
on suspicion of carrying out the bomb attacks in New York | :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 | :16:41. | :16:42. | |

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. | |

with children, but in some cases malnutrition has turned | :19:47. | :19:50. | |
into outright starvation. Saleem is eight-years-old, | :19:51. | :20:02. | |

each with much to offer young technology companies looking to take | :22:42. | :22:44. | |

to steal a march on London. A few weeks ago, London-based tech | :22:47. | :22:49. | |
entrepreneur, Maz Nadjm was surprised to get a letter | :22:50. | :22:51. | |
from Germany with an invitation They got my name, company name | :22:52. | :22:54. | |
and everything, and they're Over in Berlin, here's who sent | :22:55. | :22:58. | |

the Berlin State Senator for We are a vibrant, | :23:09. | :23:13. | |
international city. We attract talent from all over | :23:14. | :23:16. | |

a London-based company to open an office here to make sure | :23:21. | :23:21. | |
that they are part of Berlin, already the capital | :23:22. | :23:24. | |

you couldn't really call it But in the last couple of years, | :23:53. | :23:55. | |
a wave of money and a lot of encouragement have meant | :23:56. | :24:00. | |
plenty of small tech firms Suddenly, technology incubators, | :24:01. | :24:02. | |
like The Factory, are springing up, housing all sorts of ambitious | :24:03. | :24:12. | |

costs of living is not that high. At the same time, we have quite | :24:34. | :24:37. | |
a professional infrastructure. Back in London, Maz certainly isn't | :24:38. | :24:40. | |
ready to pack his bags. The UK is more mature when it comes | :24:41. | :24:43. | |
to digital and social media. And besides that, it's home | :24:44. | :24:46. | |
here, Brexit or not. Berlin may have plenty to offer, | :24:47. | :24:51. | |
but London has the English language and a thriving financial industry, | :24:52. | :24:55. | |
so it won't give up its tech ground Hollywood's most famous couple, | :24:56. | :24:58. | |

after 12 years together. Tonight, Brad Pitt said he was "very | :25:07. | :25:08. | |
saddened" by his wife's decision The Oscar-winning actress said she'd | :25:09. | :25:14. | |

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt shone the brightest of them all - | :25:24. | :25:28. | |
beautiful, superstar actors Her lawyer says the divorce was made | :25:29. | :25:33. | |
for the health of the family. He has released a statement saying | :25:34. | :25:46. | |
he's "very saddened", and the divorce papers reveal that | :25:47. | :25:47. | |
Angelina wants custody three of whom were | :25:48. | :25:50. | |
adopted internationally. We don't know whether he will seek | :25:51. | :25:52. | |
to have joint physical custody of the children or sole physical | :25:53. | :25:55. | |
custody of the children. So we don't know if there'll | :25:56. | :25:57. | |
be a custody battle It was a movie about a marriage | :25:58. | :26:00. | |
which brought the two together, although Brad was actually married | :26:01. | :26:09. | |
to Jennifer Aniston at the time. Last year the pair played a couple | :26:10. | :26:11. | |
whose relationship was on the rocks. I think it's the reality of marriage | :26:12. | :26:22. | |
that you go through hard times and that you have to embrace those | :26:23. | :26:25. | |
hard times and those challenges and know that that's a part | :26:26. | :26:30. | |
of your marriage and it's the pulling through together that | :26:31. | :26:33. | |
actually makes the bond. They were together for more | :26:34. | :26:36. | |
than a decade and married for two years, both are activists, | :26:37. | :26:39. | |
but they often trod different paths. As a goodwill ambassador | :26:40. | :26:43. | |

around the world millions of people are discussing this divorce, | :27:01. | :27:02. | |
but why the fascination? I just find Angelina very, | :27:03. | :27:05. | |
very gorgeous and Brad Pitt as well. People look at them and they think, | :27:06. | :27:10. | |
they have everything. And they think - like, | :27:11. | :27:15. | |
