One of the most ambitious voyages into space ever

500 million miles from Earth, the Rosetta spacecraft

is deliberately crash landed onto the comet, it's been tracking.

For the scientists, there's pride on a job well done.

It's really sad, really, really sad, but the legacy lives on.

The data Rosetta has collected will be studied

Can Europe's golfers recover from their worst start

-- can Wigan make it four Grand Finals in a row. They're up against

Hull FC. Its mission was to help us better

understand the origins of the solar system,

and for 12 years, the Rosetta probe travelled deep into space,

capturing the imagination But its mission is now over,

with scientists crash landing it onto the comet it's been circling,

500 million miles from Earth. The valuable scientific data Rosetta

has gathered will be studied long into the future,

and the project's been a huge success for the

European Space Agency. Our science editor, David Shukman,

is at mission control In one of the greatest ventures

in space exploration, the strange landscapes of a comet

are revealed in more Cliffs and rocks, nearly 500 million

miles away, photographed this morning and beamed back

to us during the day, as the Rosetta spacecraft inched

towards the surface. An animation shows how

the touchdown was planned: Rosetta drifting down

at walking pace. The end of a 12-year journey, a last

chance to explore this alien world. Rosetta has achieved more

than anyone expected. Many here have devoted

decades to the project. All eyes were on a signal

from the spacecraft, So this is the end of the Rosetta

machine, thank you and goodbye. It's like RIP Rosetta,

it's really sad, I mean, You just know when you do these

things it comes to an end. It is the end of

a long, long mission. Emotions were so different

two years ago. Monica Grady was leaping

for joy back then. A tiny lander, launched by Rosetta,

had made it down onto the comet, It didn't anchor itself,

but it delivered useful science. What's remarkable is that all these

manoeuvres in deep space were run from this control centre

and the mission has proved so successful that the volume

of data flooding back will keep What they've seen already

has left them amazed. They've found that dust,

blasting off the comet, contains many of the chemical

ingredients needed for life. And this really matters because one

theory is that comets crashing into the early earth helped

to kickstart life here. It seems crazy to fly hundreds

of millions of kilometres through space to what looks

like a cold, dead body, but it's full of complex

molecules that we know, if you were to bring them

to the planet earth, when it was young, add water

and sunlight, you could That's a huge discovery

from Rosetta. We have all the

ingredients in place. So for understanding our own

origins, this mission is turning up key evidence,

but it's done more than that. It's caught the imagination

of people around the world. Every now and again there are really

big moments in space exploration. Today was one of them. This mission

has been an extraordinary achievement, learning about a very

distant world. But in many ways, the most interesting science starts now.

That's because a treasure trove of data has been brought back to earth

and has yet to be analysed. One scientist said she'd only had the

chance to look at 5% of the data that she'd received. Even though the

space craft is and is Nowak drifting into deep space -- and is now

drifting into deep space, there's the chance of further discoveries to

come. Many thanks for that. In Syria, Russia has accused America

of tacitly supporting rebels, who've been linked to Al-Qaeda,

and has rejected criticism In a BBC interview,

the Russian Foreign Minister, Sergei Lavrov, said Washington had

failed to persuade moderate opposition groups to cut ties

with the Al-Nusra front, because it wanted to use their fighters,

to topple President Assad. But tonight the US State Department

described Russia's claims as absurd. Our Middle East correspondent,

Quentin Sommerville, has the story. When the bombs fall,

it is Syria's White Helmets For Mohammed and his colleagues,

their work is shattering. For four-month-old Wahida,

he's her saviour. It was four storeys,

he says, she was buried under for two hours,

but she's still alive. Wahida's home was hit

by Russian planes, She's just fine,

with barely a scratch. But her seven-year-old sister died

under the rubble. Russia's entry a year ago

transformed Syria's war. In the streets of Aleppo,

they've felt it especially. Russia's bombs are more powerful

than the regime's, crashing Across Aleppo, civilian

casualties have doubled. Despite considerable evidence

to the contrary, Russia We take all necessary precautions

not to hit civilians. The term collateral damage

was invented not by us. And we are taking, as I said,

most strict precautions to make sure that we don't hit

civilians by any chance. Russia's Foreign Minister,

speaking to the BBC's Hardtalk, says the West is sparing jihadists

to undermine President Assad. The coalition led by

the United States cannot, and refuses basically,

to separate the opposition from Nusra, and the terrorist

groups who joined Nusra. Instead of separation,

we see more and more terrorist groups coming into alliance

with Nusra and whenever we hit Nusra we are told, look,

you shouldn't do this because there are good people next

to it, or in the middle Civilians of all ages

are bearing the brunt. And hospitals are becoming

overwhelmed. In Idlib, mobile phones provide

light for critical operations. The United States says these victims

are not being targeted accidentally. We have also just seen evidence

of attacks on civilian infrastructure, and obviously

on civilians, that are inexplicable in terms of trying

to go after Nusra. The US is on the brink

of suspending diplomatic efforts. And for those left in the ruins

of eastern Aleppo, it's bleak. There may be little

prospect of escape. Quentin Somerville,

BBC News, Beirut. The head of one of England's largest

Academy Trusts has told the BBC the Government hasn't made the case

for more grammar schools. Jon Coles, the Chief Executive

of United Learning, says ministers have failed to explain how most

children will benefit The Department for Education says it

intends to allow new grammar schools to open where parents want them,

with strict conditions pupils are helped in every other

part of the system. More details now from our education

editor, Branwen Jeffries. I want you to be

able to answer that. These teenagers don't pay much

attention to grammar school plans, but the bosses of England's biggest

Academy Trusts have. They run most secondary

schools, and the man leading one of the biggest

is worried about selection. He told me ministers

hadn't explained how it They've said they don't want it

to be a return to the '50s. They've said they don't want it

to be a return to a binary system of pass and fail,

yet they've given no visible means I've been speaking to many Academy

bosses, and it's clear they have little appetite for selecting

pupils by ability. One told me of his serious

reservations about the lack Another said it could

have a devastating impact A third that we risk creating

an under-system of schools, stripped of the most able

and ambitious pupils. He led the transformation

of London's comprehensives. Their exam results are now better

than the rest of England and says So that for all of the people

in those areas, all of those people who feel they're struggling to get

by, who want better for their children, we don't put

them in a position that they're hoping they're the one in three

who get through the test. We have to put them

into the position where they're part of the 100%

who get something better. The Government says it's not

revisiting the past. This college in Manchester is linked

to a grammar school. Here the Academy Trust says more

are needed but targeted at bright It must be incredibly lonely

and very difficult for a young person, who is incredibly bright,

who wants to concentrate on their work, but meanwhile they're

in an environment where the teacher has, perhaps, many complex issues

to deal with in the classroom. There are concerns about the impact

on other schools. Ministers say there will be strict

conditions to make new grammar schools help the wider system,

but from those working to improve The Chief Executive

of Deutsche Bank, one of Europe's biggest lenders,

has e-mailed staff to reassure Investors are worried

because of a multi-billion dollar fine from US authorities,

over the bank's conduct leading up CEO John Cryan said the bank had

been the object of "hefty speculation" and "new rumours" were

causing the share price to fall. Dozens of current and former world

leaders have said farewell to the Israeli

statesman Shimon Peres The Palestinian president, Mahmoud

Abbas, was there and exchanged a rare handshake with

the Israeli prime minister, A poignant final prayer

for Shimon Peres. He requested this song himself,

his grandfather used to sing it before he was

killed in the Holocaust. Israel's former president

mourned today by his family and by world leaders,

who saw him as a tireless We gather here in the knowledge that

Shimon never saw his dream The region is going through

a chaotic time. Threats are ever present and yet

he did not stop dreaming In death, he brought

Palestinian and Israeli leaders Mahmoud Abbas was warmly

welcomed to the funeral, though the peace process

here is all but dead. Israel's hawkish prime minister

admitted having differed with Shimon Peres about peace,

but he lamented the But we find hope in his

legacy as does the world. As the tributes are being paid

here now, there is a real sense Shimon Peres was part of the fabric

of Israel right from its birth. He's the last of the generation that

helped to build the state. He occupied virtually

every major post. Israelis are saying goodbye today

not just to an elder statesman, but to a key part

of their own history. It was Peres who helped buy weapons

for the army of the new Israeli state and who founded

the country's nuclear programme. In the '70s he supported

the building of Jewish settlements By the '90s he was negotiating

peace, winning the Nobel Prize But many Palestinians will remember

him as a man of war, not peace. Shimon Peres was taken for burial

in the soil of the country Hungarians go to the polls this

weekend in a controversial referendum on how many refugees

and migrants the country Quotas were introduced

by the EU last year, at the height of the migration

crisis, with each country asked to take a share

of around 160,000 people. Now Hungary is expected

to take in just 1,300. But the Prime Minister Victor Orban

says that's too much and he wants The result is not legally binding,

but the government hopes to send It's harvest time in Hungary,

and the children of the wine growing region are learning the tricks

of the trade. People here are deeply traditional,

proud of their history, Their prime minister

describes Hungary as a cradle of Christian Europe,

under threat, he says, He's called on Hungarians to vote no

this weekend to EU migrant quotas TRANSLATION: In my view migrants

bring trouble, they bring terror. TRANSLATION: I feel sorry

for the migrants, but most people The Hungarian government has run

a virulently anti-EU, anti-migrant campaign in the lead up

to the referendum. There are posters accusing migrants

of rape and terror plastered This referendum has been described

as plainly xenophobic. I understand these are taboos,

but this is true. Who would deny the fact

that there are more and more cruel attacks, more and more crimes

committed against ladies? Do you have the statistics

for Hungary? No, no, just open up the media

in Europe and making a decision whom we would like to let come

into this country and whom we do not want to let come in this country

should be our decision. It's important to note

that this referendum is not Hungarians are all too

aware that their economy depends on EU subsidies,

but Brussels is worried. In its post-Brexit world,

it hoped for EU unity and instead, this Hungary vote is a painful

reminder that other countries want less interference from Brussels

and that migration remains Hungary was quick to take matters

into its own hands at the height A border fence with

an armed border guard. Migrant numbers have now dwindled,

but suspicion and fear remain. Syrian-born GP, Dr Ossamah Bourgla,

married and had children in Hungary, but he told us he's moving his

family to the UK now. The Hungarian government

exploits xenophobia He fears that won't end with

Sunday's referendum. What will happen

after the referendum? They will continue the hate

campaign, I know. They continue everything -

hate and hate. Forecasts for Sunday are Hungarian

voters will reject EU migrant This isn't the only EU country

where migration and Euro-scepticism The Republican nominee Donald Trump

has launched a scathing attack on a former Miss Universe,

who has accused him of sexist Alicia Machado has alleged

that she was called Miss Piggy for gaining weight by Mr Trump,

who once owned the licence Her story was raised

by Hillary Clinton in the first Presidential debate earlier this

week as an example of He's since urged his Twitter

followers to check out an alleged sex tape of Miss Machado,

calling her "disgusting". Jon, a bizarre turn in this race

for the White House? Yes. Donald Trump has been facing

criticism since that debate performance, and also for his

treatment of Alicia Machado. So at 3am today he woke up, clearly

restless, and attacked the press on a Twitter feed. Then he probably

went to go back to sleep but did not. At 5am he said, Crooked Hillary

was duped by my worst miss universe. Hillary floated her as an angel

without checking her past. Hillary Clinton has seized on that and said,

who launches a Twitter storm at 3am? And even by Donald Trump's

standards, she says, this is unhinged. Normally, they shut the

door and kick their special adviser or the cat, but Donald Trump reaches

for his phone. That has left a lot of Republicans feeling equally

frustrated, although for the moment they are telling him this in

private. Thank you. The Italian football agent

at the centre of some of the recent allegations of corruption

in the game, is now claiming Pino Pagliara, who was banned

from football for five years for match fixing,

says he's been "foolish" and that His report contains

flash photography. The agent at the centre

of the corruption allegations that Pino Pagliara was secretly filmed

in the Daily Telegraph's It is claimed he told reporters

posing as businessmen that a number of unnamed past and present

Premier League managers But at his Manchester home today,

Pagliara, who was banned in his native Italy for five years

for match fixing in 2005, told me he had fabricated

the comments to try to secure what he thought

was a lucrative deal. I thought that was a stylish way

of telling these guys and convincing them that I really do

have that relationship. Because for me, that

contract that they put on the table was a really good

contract, you know. And ultimately I wasn't

going to apply that system, No, I will take a lie

test if you want. There will be some who will look

at your past and inevitably they will say, "He is lying now

to try and get out of it". And listen, if you start looking

at me as a human being there will be five people who will jump up

and say, "What are you doing, So you've never paid any kind

of illegal payment? No football official,

no assistant manager, no chief scout, no

scout, no manager. Separate revelations

in the investigation have already cost the England manager

Sam Allardyce his job, along with Barnsley's assistant

coach, Tommy Wright. All those secretly filmed deny

they have broken any rules, but Pagliara, who has been brokering

deals in English football since the 1980s, says there

is corruption in the game here. There are the areas of the same

bending of the rules allowing people to actually operate in,

how can I put it, Sometimes this is a product

of naivete. Sometimes it is a product of wanting

to look at the big picture and miss But I feel that it

happens here a lot. The Telegraph say they had numerous

meetings with Pagliara over many months and that the transcripts,

which are being prepared for the police and the FA,

make it clear what he said. The 2016 Ryder Cup is underway

at Hazeltine in Minnesota, and the United States have made

a dominant start against Europe. The hosts won all the morning

matches to surge into a 4-0 lead, but Europe are fighting back

in the afternoon matches. Andy Swiss has been

watching the action. At 7am in a misty Minnesota,

the sight and sound It is going to be

utter US domination. You have beaten us the last

eight or nine years. But what followed was

beyond their most Europe, headed by Justin Rose

and Henrik Stenson, but in an extraordinary morning

they were swept away on a sea of red Patrick Reed and Jordan Spieth

led the way. Rickie Fowler's finesse

only firing up the fans. Four years after the miracle

of Medina, for Europe it was turning into the horror of Hazeltine,

as their early optimism Not since 1975 have the US won

the entire opening session, but when Rory McIlroy's putt curled

wide, they had done it. For the European team,

a collective nightmare. A predictably lively reception

after his brother's criticism But the Masters champion

let his putter do the talking. At last, signs of European

encouragement, with Stenson But if they are to retain

the Ryder Cup, they will have The latest news is better for

Europe. They are currently leading in three of this afternoon's four

matches. No team has ever come back from 4-0 down to win the Ryder Cup,

but Europe are fighting back. That's all from us. Now it's time

for the news where you are.
