:00:08. > :00:13.Talk of fresh sanctions but no breakthrough.

:00:14. > :00:16.As the bombs fall on Aleppo again, an international summit in London

:00:17. > :00:26.It could stop tomorrow morning, tonight, if Russia and the Assad

:00:27. > :00:35.regime would behave according to any norm or any standard of decency.

:00:36. > :00:43.As tensions rise at the Jungle camp in Calais, we hear from the children

:00:44. > :00:50.stranded there and hoping to come to Britain.

:00:51. > :00:56.40% of people are living in substandard homes, according to the

:00:57. > :00:59.charity, shelter. We have a special report.

:01:00. > :01:02.And, Andy Murray takes another step to becoming world number one

:01:03. > :01:28.A second round of international talks on Syria has ended,

:01:29. > :01:31.with no clear plan of how to stop the bombing by Russian

:01:32. > :01:33.and Syrian government forces of the northern city of Aleppo.

:01:34. > :01:36.Tougher sanctions on Moscow and Damascus were discussed,

:01:37. > :01:39.and no option is said to be off the table.

:01:40. > :01:41.But the Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson and his American counterpart

:01:42. > :01:53.John Kerry conceded that a military solution was "extremely difficult".

:01:54. > :01:59.The east of Aleppo is being pummelled into submission. That, at

:02:00. > :02:03.least is the aim of this ferocious firepower. The air strikes by both

:02:04. > :02:08.the regime and the Russians are relentless.

:02:09. > :02:12.Underneath the bombardment are terrified civilians as well as

:02:13. > :02:16.opposition fighters that the Syrian Government is so determined to

:02:17. > :02:20.defeat. Hundreds upon hundreds of people have died in Aleppo since the

:02:21. > :02:25.ceasefire collapsed last monthd. Many of them children, buried under

:02:26. > :02:31.rubble and both Russia and the regime are being accused of crimes

:02:32. > :02:34.against humanity here. Far away from the Syrian battlefield, in London,

:02:35. > :02:40.yet more talks on how to end the carnage.

:02:41. > :02:45.Thmplts humanitarian disaster is the largest since World War Two. And it

:02:46. > :02:55.could stop tomorrow morning, tonight. If Russia and the Assad

:02:56. > :03:00.regime were to behave according to any norm or any standard of decency.

:03:01. > :03:03.So what could the officials sitting around this table actually do to put

:03:04. > :03:09.pressure on the regime and their Russian backers? There are a lot of

:03:10. > :03:14.measures that we are proposing to do with sanctions on the Syrian regime

:03:15. > :03:18.and their supporters. Measures to bring those responsible for war

:03:19. > :03:22.crimes, before the International Criminal Court. : These things will

:03:23. > :03:27.eventually come to bite the perpetrators of these crimes. No

:03:28. > :03:30.mention of trying to stop the bombing with Boris Johnson described

:03:31. > :03:35.last week as Kennetic military options. There have been calls for a

:03:36. > :03:42.no-fly zone or at least a no-bombing zone I have not seen a big appetite

:03:43. > :03:47.in Europe for people to go to war, I don't see the parliaments, or

:03:48. > :03:50.countries wanting to go to war and deciding it is eight bore solution.

:03:51. > :03:56.We are pursuing diplomacy because those are the tools we have. On one

:03:57. > :04:01.important front in Syria's war, Islamic State militants have now

:04:02. > :04:07.suffered another defeat, this is the town of Darbiq, and today, rebels,

:04:08. > :04:12.backed by Turkish brought down the IS flag. It is strategically

:04:13. > :04:19.insignificant but it is where IS had sought to fight an apock lippic

:04:20. > :04:23.battle with the West. So it is a symbolic blow. This is just one

:04:24. > :04:25.front of the war, but the country's wider conflict no closer to an end,

:04:26. > :04:32.all the talking in London today. Caroline is with me now. It doesn't

:04:33. > :04:36.seem on the face that the talks have achieved much? I'm afraid you are

:04:37. > :04:42.right. There was strong words and condemnation. Boris Johnson appealed

:04:43. > :04:45.to Russia and the backers of the regime to show mercy. There were

:04:46. > :04:49.talks of new economic sanctions but I have been told there weren't even

:04:50. > :04:54.any concrete new proposals on the table to put pressure on Russia, on

:04:55. > :04:59.Syria. And there is a feeling, now, that not much is going to change on

:05:00. > :05:03.that front until there is a new administration in the United States.

:05:04. > :05:07.So, no end, I think to the bombing of Aleppo and with t the desperate,

:05:08. > :05:19.desperate flight of the civilians there.

:05:20. > :05:22.Campaigners are calling on the Government to speed up

:05:23. > :05:24.as a matter of urgency its programme to resettle hundreds

:05:25. > :05:26.of unaccompanied children stranded in Calais, at the camp known

:05:27. > :05:29.Small groups have been allowed into the UK,

:05:30. > :05:32.but with the camp due to be demolished in the coming days,

:05:33. > :05:34.there's growing concern for those still living there.

:05:35. > :05:37.Our Special Correspondent Ed Thomas has spent the last week at the camp,

:05:38. > :05:50.Life in Calais. The rush to escape. The panic and the tear gas. Tear

:05:51. > :05:56.gas. How old are you, Mohammed? 16. 16. 16 years' old and, like many

:05:57. > :06:00.here, a teenager alone, looking for a way out.

:06:01. > :06:07.! Tear gas is being fired all around.

:06:08. > :06:11.Some of the children trying to get on those trucks were as young as 14

:06:12. > :06:17.or 15. These are the images that make many

:06:18. > :06:23.in Britain nervous. Mohammed says he has no family in the UK. But refuses

:06:24. > :06:31.to stay in France. ! But you should be in a school.

:06:32. > :06:37.School for UK. School in the UK. Yes. But hundreds of teenagers here

:06:38. > :06:48.say they do have relatives in the UK and are now stranded in Calais.

:06:49. > :06:54.Like these brothers. They are 14 and 16 and say they left Afghanistan six

:06:55. > :06:58.months ago. This boy says he is sad and wants to

:06:59. > :07:04.be with his father and cousin in England. Jamal tells us he is

:07:05. > :07:10.desperate. "We have given our names in, we don't know what to do, we are

:07:11. > :07:14.children." If their family links are proven, the British Government has

:07:15. > :07:20.promised to reunite teenagers, in days.

:07:21. > :07:23.Charities here say some unaccompanied children have been

:07:24. > :07:26.sexually abused, others beaten. All are vulnerable to people

:07:27. > :07:31.traffickers. One girl, who didn't want to go on camera, broke down as

:07:32. > :07:36.she told us how her friends were raped and stabbed. The charity Safe

:07:37. > :07:41.Passage UK, estimates that 147 children have gone missing from this

:07:42. > :07:48.camp this year alone and three have been killed trying to get to the UK.

:07:49. > :07:54.We filmed this young girl. In the middle, with her back to us. She had

:07:55. > :07:58.just arrived. We watched her with a much older man, walk from tent to

:07:59. > :08:06.tent. A child alone, with strangers.

:08:07. > :08:13.I don't have family here. I have family in the UK. So what next for

:08:14. > :08:17.kids like this? He is 13 and British officials are now in Calais,

:08:18. > :08:22.speaking to children like him. But, still, he waits. When did you last

:08:23. > :08:32.go to school? How long ago? One year. A year ago? Yes. Time is

:08:33. > :08:37.running out. Soon this camp will be demolished,

:08:38. > :08:40.but first Britain and France must agree who will care for the children

:08:41. > :08:45.of Calais. The Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson,

:08:46. > :08:47.who led the campaign to leave the European Union,

:08:48. > :08:49.has defended writing a newspaper article in favour of the EU just

:08:50. > :08:52.two days before backing In the draft which wasn't published,

:08:53. > :08:56.he warned of the economic Mr Johnson now says he wrote

:08:57. > :09:02.the article, and another in favour of leaving the EU,

:09:03. > :09:14.in order to clarify his thoughts. May June the 24th be

:09:15. > :09:16.Independence Day for Britain. His decision to back Brexit

:09:17. > :09:18.was credited with giving the Leave campaign the boost it needed to win,

:09:19. > :09:22.but it's well known Boris Johnson had wavered over

:09:23. > :09:40.which side to support. Now an article, never meant to be

:09:41. > :09:44.published explains the case for remain. Everybody is trying to make

:09:45. > :09:49.up their minds about whether to leave or stay in the European. It is

:09:50. > :09:53.perfectly true back in February I was wrestling with it, like a lot of

:09:54. > :09:57.people in this country. And I wrote a long piece which came down

:09:58. > :10:00.overwhelmingly in favour of leaving. I then thought, I'd better make the

:10:01. > :10:07.alternative case for myself. In the article, revealed today

:10:08. > :10:10.by the Sunday times, Boris Johnson suggested Brexit

:10:11. > :10:12.could lead to an economic shock or the break-up of the UK,

:10:13. > :10:15.and he said access to the single market came with just

:10:16. > :10:17.a small membership free, directly contradicting his comments

:10:18. > :10:22.on the campaign trail. Are you saying there would be no

:10:23. > :10:24.reaction on the markets? I think it might be

:10:25. > :10:27.a very positive reaction. If we vote leave on June 23,

:10:28. > :10:29.I believe we will galvanise this country, our economy

:10:30. > :10:33.and our democracy. Today, Boris Johnson said,

:10:34. > :10:35.considering both sides of the debate I set them side-by-side

:10:36. > :10:43.and it was blindingly obvious what the right thing to do was,

:10:44. > :10:48.and I think the people For some, his early turmoil over

:10:49. > :10:51.Brexit reflects what's happening in government now,

:10:52. > :10:53.where there are different views over what the UK's relationship

:10:54. > :10:56.with the EU should be and some Whilst the government has

:10:57. > :11:06.a mandate to pull us out of the European Union,

:11:07. > :11:08.they don't have the That is why it is important

:11:09. > :11:16.the government strengthens its own hands and it also just

:11:17. > :11:19.subjects its own ideas to be scrutiny of parliament before

:11:20. > :11:21.they go to negotiations. Ministers insist there will be

:11:22. > :11:23.democratic accountability but they say revealing their head

:11:24. > :11:25.could undermine their position. We are not going to come

:11:26. > :11:28.on every single day and give If I were to sit down and play poker

:11:29. > :11:32.with you this morning, You'd win because I

:11:33. > :11:36.can't play poker. Before we even start

:11:37. > :11:37.playing the game. But Brexit is no game

:11:38. > :11:39.or even campaign. It's a reality that ministers have

:11:40. > :11:41.promised to deliver. Somewhat similar clarity

:11:42. > :11:44.the wider government. Donald Trump has again claimed

:11:45. > :11:56.the US Presidential election In a series of tweets,

:11:57. > :12:00.the Republican Presidential nominee also accused the media

:12:01. > :12:02.of favouring his rival, Hillary Clinton, in a way he said

:12:03. > :12:04.was dishonest and distorted. But his vice-presidential running

:12:05. > :12:07.mate Mike Pence says both he and Mr Trump would respect

:12:47. > :12:54.been accused of being in denial about anti-Semitism in the party,

:12:55. > :12:57.after he suggested a critical report The Home Affairs Select Committee

:12:58. > :13:01.says Jewish Labour MPs have been subjected to appalling

:13:02. > :13:18.levels of abuse. This report is scathing in its

:13:19. > :13:20.condemnation of Labour? It is. When MPs talk about institutional

:13:21. > :13:23.anti-Semitism, you would safely assume they are talking about

:13:24. > :13:28.parties of the far right but the Home Affairs committee, which

:13:29. > :13:31.includes a couple of Labour MPs, say that this very robust term could be

:13:32. > :13:35.applied to what it calls "elements of the Labour movement." The report

:13:36. > :13:39.criticises other parties, too, but the main focus appears to be on

:13:40. > :13:46.Labour. They took evidence in private from two female Jewish

:13:47. > :13:50.Labour MPs who had to enjoy 25,000 incidents of abuse on social media

:13:51. > :13:53.and received threats. They are suggesting that Jeremy Corbyn's

:13:54. > :13:58.party was slow to respond to allegations but he hasn't been slow

:13:59. > :14:02.to respond to this report. He has called anti-Semitism "evil" but it

:14:03. > :14:06.questions the emphasis on Labour, when it says that 75% of the

:14:07. > :14:10.abecause is coming from those on the far right. He also says he is

:14:11. > :14:13.seeking an urgent meeting with Facebook and Twitter to tackle the

:14:14. > :14:17.examples of threat and abuse on social media. His critics see that

:14:18. > :14:31.as a positive step. Thank you for that.

:14:35. > :14:38.It points to lack of space, damp and spiralling rents as some

:14:39. > :14:41.The Government says housing is a priority and it's doubling

:14:42. > :14:42.the affordable-housing budget to ?8 billion.

:14:43. > :14:48.Our UK Affairs Correspondent Jeremy Cooke has been to meet some

:14:49. > :15:03.They are where we live. 25 million of them across the UK. Flats and

:15:04. > :15:07.semis, tower blocks and terraces. But today's report shows that many

:15:08. > :15:11.do not meet the basic standards which make a house a home.

:15:12. > :15:19.I get so depressed thinking about it. Ian and Esme's privately-rented

:15:20. > :15:25.flat in Bristol failed the new test. There is always something like. One

:15:26. > :15:30.small bedroom, no living room. I would say pokey. It is dark and

:15:31. > :15:34.damp. It gets cold quickly. We have to put the heating on quite often.

:15:35. > :15:37.We get frustrated being on top of each other I get very depressed

:15:38. > :15:43.about it when I think about it. This is' why we try not to. They are

:15:44. > :15:48.among the 18% of people who live in poor conditions.

:15:49. > :15:55.They have been here for ten years and, after a series of small

:15:56. > :16:03.businesses, both are now on state pensions. Esme's living with cancer.

:16:04. > :16:08.Ian was diabetes. This is hardly the dream home that they'd hoped for. A

:16:09. > :16:14.cottage in Wales. Something like that would be lovely, wouldn't it?

:16:15. > :16:19.Or a country house or something. You know we had grand yos dreams. And

:16:20. > :16:23.clearly they were dreams because here we are.

:16:24. > :16:28.The report says 27% of people are worried about the cost of their

:16:29. > :16:34.home. In Harefield, west of London, this

:16:35. > :16:40.two bedroom council house is now home to three generations of Lisa's

:16:41. > :16:46.family. There is myself, my partner, Jim, son, Ellen, Claire. We have

:16:47. > :16:50.with their two sons. All the adults have jobs but around here, modest

:16:51. > :16:55.wages don't match soaring rents. Claire says her only choice was to

:16:56. > :17:01.move back in with her mum. A bit of privacy. You haven't got none, we

:17:02. > :17:05.haven't got none Self-respect. We get really loe, don't we? It is

:17:06. > :17:13.degrading. If you want to have friends around, you can't because it

:17:14. > :17:19.is nanny's house, isn't it? Claire grew up around here. She

:17:20. > :17:24.spent a couple of years at a fraensd place just outside the borough which

:17:25. > :17:32.disqualifies her for applying for council housing. ! I'm feeling

:17:33. > :17:38.stressed now. Renting privately has proved impossible It is a lot of

:17:39. > :17:41.money, 600 for month. But the landlords are saying no-one wants

:17:42. > :17:47.housing Ben fi. I would need part housing benefit to help me pay for

:17:48. > :17:53.it. Like Claire, 58% of young adults live in homes that fail the living

:17:54. > :17:59.home standed a. The It is in bad repair, dark, damp and mouldy. Back

:18:00. > :18:06.in Bristol, Esmee and Ian are desperate to move. Writing letters

:18:07. > :18:10.to the council. I was hopeful at first but now it looks like... It

:18:11. > :18:15.look likes a hopeless task. I don't want to bloody die here. 73% of

:18:16. > :18:20.Londoners' homes fail the new test. For Claire, an office worker, and

:18:21. > :18:22.her sons, it comes down to this. Every night they sleep on the living

:18:23. > :18:47.room floor. China has held a ceremony for two

:18:48. > :18:57.astronauts who are going off to space. Now we have the sports news.
