Talk of fresh sanctions but no breakthrough.

:00:08.:00:13.

As the bombs fall on Aleppo again, an international summit in London

:00:14.:00:16.

It could stop tomorrow morning, tonight, if Russia and the Assad

:00:17.:00:26.

regime would behave according to any norm or any standard of decency.

:00:27.:00:35.

As tensions rise at the Jungle camp in Calais, we hear from the children

:00:36.:00:43.

stranded there and hoping to come to Britain.

:00:44.:00:50.

40% of people are living in substandard homes, according to the

:00:51.:00:56.

charity, shelter. We have a special report.

:00:57.:00:59.

And, Andy Murray takes another step to becoming world number one

:01:00.:01:02.

A second round of international talks on Syria has ended,

:01:03.:01:28.

with no clear plan of how to stop the bombing by Russian

:01:29.:01:31.

and Syrian government forces of the northern city of Aleppo.

:01:32.:01:33.

Tougher sanctions on Moscow and Damascus were discussed,

:01:34.:01:36.

and no option is said to be off the table.

:01:37.:01:39.

But the Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson and his American counterpart

:01:40.:01:41.

John Kerry conceded that a military solution was "extremely difficult".

:01:42.:01:53.

The east of Aleppo is being pummelled into submission. That, at

:01:54.:01:59.

least is the aim of this ferocious firepower. The air strikes by both

:02:00.:02:03.

the regime and the Russians are relentless.

:02:04.:02:08.

Underneath the bombardment are terrified civilians as well as

:02:09.:02:12.

opposition fighters that the Syrian Government is so determined to

:02:13.:02:16.

defeat. Hundreds upon hundreds of people have died in Aleppo since the

:02:17.:02:20.

ceasefire collapsed last monthd. Many of them children, buried under

:02:21.:02:25.

rubble and both Russia and the regime are being accused of crimes

:02:26.:02:31.

against humanity here. Far away from the Syrian battlefield, in London,

:02:32.:02:34.

yet more talks on how to end the carnage.

:02:35.:02:40.

Thmplts humanitarian disaster is the largest since World War Two. And it

:02:41.:02:45.

could stop tomorrow morning, tonight. If Russia and the Assad

:02:46.:02:55.

regime were to behave according to any norm or any standard of decency.

:02:56.:03:00.

So what could the officials sitting around this table actually do to put

:03:01.:03:03.

pressure on the regime and their Russian backers? There are a lot of

:03:04.:03:09.

measures that we are proposing to do with sanctions on the Syrian regime

:03:10.:03:14.

and their supporters. Measures to bring those responsible for war

:03:15.:03:18.

crimes, before the International Criminal Court. : These things will

:03:19.:03:22.

eventually come to bite the perpetrators of these crimes. No

:03:23.:03:27.

mention of trying to stop the bombing with Boris Johnson described

:03:28.:03:30.

last week as Kennetic military options. There have been calls for a

:03:31.:03:35.

no-fly zone or at least a no-bombing zone I have not seen a big appetite

:03:36.:03:42.

in Europe for people to go to war, I don't see the parliaments, or

:03:43.:03:47.

countries wanting to go to war and deciding it is eight bore solution.

:03:48.:03:50.

We are pursuing diplomacy because those are the tools we have. On one

:03:51.:03:56.

important front in Syria's war, Islamic State militants have now

:03:57.:04:01.

suffered another defeat, this is the town of Darbiq, and today, rebels,

:04:02.:04:07.

backed by Turkish brought down the IS flag. It is strategically

:04:08.:04:12.

insignificant but it is where IS had sought to fight an apock lippic

:04:13.:04:19.

battle with the West. So it is a symbolic blow. This is just one

:04:20.:04:23.

front of the war, but the country's wider conflict no closer to an end,

:04:24.:04:25.

all the talking in London today. Caroline is with me now. It doesn't

:04:26.:04:32.

seem on the face that the talks have achieved much? I'm afraid you are

:04:33.:04:36.

right. There was strong words and condemnation. Boris Johnson appealed

:04:37.:04:42.

to Russia and the backers of the regime to show mercy. There were

:04:43.:04:45.

talks of new economic sanctions but I have been told there weren't even

:04:46.:04:49.

any concrete new proposals on the table to put pressure on Russia, on

:04:50.:04:54.

Syria. And there is a feeling, now, that not much is going to change on

:04:55.:04:59.

that front until there is a new administration in the United States.

:05:00.:05:03.

So, no end, I think to the bombing of Aleppo and with t the desperate,

:05:04.:05:07.

desperate flight of the civilians there.

:05:08.:05:19.

Campaigners are calling on the Government to speed up

:05:20.:05:22.

as a matter of urgency its programme to resettle hundreds

:05:23.:05:24.

of unaccompanied children stranded in Calais, at the camp known

:05:25.:05:26.

Small groups have been allowed into the UK,

:05:27.:05:29.

but with the camp due to be demolished in the coming days,

:05:30.:05:32.

there's growing concern for those still living there.

:05:33.:05:34.

Our Special Correspondent Ed Thomas has spent the last week at the camp,

:05:35.:05:37.

Life in Calais. The rush to escape. The panic and the tear gas. Tear

:05:38.:05:50.

gas. How old are you, Mohammed? 16. 16. 16 years' old and, like many

:05:51.:05:56.

here, a teenager alone, looking for a way out.

:05:57.:06:00.

! Tear gas is being fired all around.

:06:01.:06:07.

Some of the children trying to get on those trucks were as young as 14

:06:08.:06:11.

or 15. These are the images that make many

:06:12.:06:17.

in Britain nervous. Mohammed says he has no family in the UK. But refuses

:06:18.:06:23.

to stay in France. ! But you should be in a school.

:06:24.:06:31.

School for UK. School in the UK. Yes. But hundreds of teenagers here

:06:32.:06:37.

say they do have relatives in the UK and are now stranded in Calais.

:06:38.:06:48.

Like these brothers. They are 14 and 16 and say they left Afghanistan six

:06:49.:06:54.

months ago. This boy says he is sad and wants to

:06:55.:06:58.

be with his father and cousin in England. Jamal tells us he is

:06:59.:07:04.

desperate. "We have given our names in, we don't know what to do, we are

:07:05.:07:10.

children." If their family links are proven, the British Government has

:07:11.:07:14.

promised to reunite teenagers, in days.

:07:15.:07:20.

Charities here say some unaccompanied children have been

:07:21.:07:23.

sexually abused, others beaten. All are vulnerable to people

:07:24.:07:26.

traffickers. One girl, who didn't want to go on camera, broke down as

:07:27.:07:31.

she told us how her friends were raped and stabbed. The charity Safe

:07:32.:07:36.

Passage UK, estimates that 147 children have gone missing from this

:07:37.:07:41.

camp this year alone and three have been killed trying to get to the UK.

:07:42.:07:48.

We filmed this young girl. In the middle, with her back to us. She had

:07:49.:07:54.

just arrived. We watched her with a much older man, walk from tent to

:07:55.:07:58.

tent. A child alone, with strangers.

:07:59.:08:06.

I don't have family here. I have family in the UK. So what next for

:08:07.:08:13.

kids like this? He is 13 and British officials are now in Calais,

:08:14.:08:17.

speaking to children like him. But, still, he waits. When did you last

:08:18.:08:22.

go to school? How long ago? One year. A year ago? Yes. Time is

:08:23.:08:32.

running out. Soon this camp will be demolished,

:08:33.:08:37.

but first Britain and France must agree who will care for the children

:08:38.:08:40.

of Calais. The Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson,

:08:41.:08:45.

who led the campaign to leave the European Union,

:08:46.:08:47.

has defended writing a newspaper article in favour of the EU just

:08:48.:08:49.

two days before backing In the draft which wasn't published,

:08:50.:08:52.

he warned of the economic Mr Johnson now says he wrote

:08:53.:08:56.

the article, and another in favour of leaving the EU,

:08:57.:09:02.

in order to clarify his thoughts. May June the 24th be

:09:03.:09:14.

Independence Day for Britain. His decision to back Brexit

:09:15.:09:16.

was credited with giving the Leave campaign the boost it needed to win,

:09:17.:09:18.

but it's well known Boris Johnson had wavered over

:09:19.:09:22.

which side to support. Now an article, never meant to be

:09:23.:09:40.

published explains the case for remain. Everybody is trying to make

:09:41.:09:44.

up their minds about whether to leave or stay in the European. It is

:09:45.:09:49.

perfectly true back in February I was wrestling with it, like a lot of

:09:50.:09:53.

people in this country. And I wrote a long piece which came down

:09:54.:09:57.

overwhelmingly in favour of leaving. I then thought, I'd better make the

:09:58.:10:00.

alternative case for myself. In the article, revealed today

:10:01.:10:07.

by the Sunday times, Boris Johnson suggested Brexit

:10:08.:10:10.

could lead to an economic shock or the break-up of the UK,

:10:11.:10:12.

and he said access to the single market came with just

:10:13.:10:15.

a small membership free, directly contradicting his comments

:10:16.:10:17.

on the campaign trail. Are you saying there would be no

:10:18.:10:22.

reaction on the markets? I think it might be

:10:23.:10:24.

a very positive reaction. If we vote leave on June 23,

:10:25.:10:27.

I believe we will galvanise this country, our economy

:10:28.:10:29.

and our democracy. Today, Boris Johnson said,

:10:30.:10:33.

considering both sides of the debate I set them side-by-side

:10:34.:10:35.

and it was blindingly obvious what the right thing to do was,

:10:36.:10:43.

and I think the people For some, his early turmoil over

:10:44.:10:48.

Brexit reflects what's happening in government now,

:10:49.:10:51.

where there are different views over what the UK's relationship

:10:52.:10:53.

with the EU should be and some Whilst the government has

:10:54.:10:56.

a mandate to pull us out of the European Union,

:10:57.:11:06.

they don't have the That is why it is important

:11:07.:11:08.

the government strengthens its own hands and it also just

:11:09.:11:16.

subjects its own ideas to be scrutiny of parliament before

democratic accountability but they say revealing their head

:11:22.:11:23.

could undermine their position. We are not going to come

:11:24.:11:25.

on every single day and give If I were to sit down and play poker

:11:26.:11:28.

with you this morning, You'd win because I

:11:29.:11:32.

can't play poker. Before we even start

:11:33.:11:36.

playing the game. But Brexit is no game

or even campaign. It's a reality that ministers have

promised to deliver. Somewhat similar clarity

:11:42.:11:44.

the US Presidential election In a series of tweets,

:11:45.:11:56.

the Republican Presidential nominee also accused the media

:11:57.:12:00.

of favouring his rival, Hillary Clinton, in a way he said

:12:01.:12:02.

was dishonest and distorted. But his vice-presidential running

:12:03.:12:04.

mate Mike Pence says both he and Mr Trump would respect

:12:45.:12:46.

been accused of being in denial about anti-Semitism in the party,

:12:47.:12:54.

after he suggested a critical report The Home Affairs Select Committee

:12:55.:12:57.

says Jewish Labour MPs have been subjected to appalling

:12:58.:13:01.

levels of abuse. This report is scathing in its

:13:02.:13:18.

condemnation of Labour? It is. When MPs talk about institutional

:13:19.:13:20.

anti-Semitism, you would safely assume they are talking about

:13:21.:13:23.

parties of the far right but the Home Affairs committee, which

:13:24.:13:28.

includes a couple of Labour MPs, say that this very robust term could be

:13:29.:13:31.

applied to what it calls "elements of the Labour movement." The report

:13:32.:13:35.

criticises other parties, too, but the main focus appears to be on

:13:36.:13:39.

Labour. They took evidence in private from two female Jewish

:13:40.:13:46.

Labour MPs who had to enjoy 25,000 incidents of abuse on social media

:13:47.:13:50.

and received threats. They are suggesting that Jeremy Corbyn's

:13:51.:13:53.

party was slow to respond to allegations but he hasn't been slow

:13:54.:13:58.

to respond to this report. He has called anti-Semitism "evil" but it

:13:59.:14:02.

questions the emphasis on Labour, when it says that 75% of the

:14:03.:14:06.

abecause is coming from those on the far right. He also says he is

:14:07.:14:10.

seeking an urgent meeting with Facebook and Twitter to tackle the

:14:11.:14:13.

examples of threat and abuse on social media. His critics see that

:14:14.:14:17.

as a positive step. Thank you for that.

:14:18.:14:31.

One in four homes in Britain fails to meet new standards on housing set

:14:32.:14:34.

It points to lack of space, damp and spiralling rents as some

:14:35.:14:38.

The Government says housing is a priority and it's doubling

:14:39.:14:41.

the affordable-housing budget to ?8 billion.

:14:42.:14:42.

Our UK Affairs Correspondent Jeremy Cooke has been to meet some

:14:43.:14:48.

They are where we live. 25 million of them across the UK. Flats and

:14:49.:15:03.

semis, tower blocks and terraces. But today's report shows that many

:15:04.:15:07.

do not meet the basic standards which make a house a home.

:15:08.:15:11.

I get so depressed thinking about it. Ian and Esme's privately-rented

:15:12.:15:19.

flat in Bristol failed the new test. There is always something like. One

:15:20.:15:25.

small bedroom, no living room. I would say pokey. It is dark and

:15:26.:15:30.

damp. It gets cold quickly. We have to put the heating on quite often.

:15:31.:15:34.

We get frustrated being on top of each other I get very depressed

:15:35.:15:37.

about it when I think about it. This is' why we try not to. They are

:15:38.:15:43.

among the 18% of people who live in poor conditions.

:15:44.:15:48.

They have been here for ten years and, after a series of small

:15:49.:15:55.

businesses, both are now on state pensions. Esme's living with cancer.

:15:56.:16:03.

Ian was diabetes. This is hardly the dream home that they'd hoped for. A

:16:04.:16:08.

cottage in Wales. Something like that would be lovely, wouldn't it?

:16:09.:16:14.

Or a country house or something. You know we had grand yos dreams. And

:16:15.:16:19.

clearly they were dreams because here we are.

:16:20.:16:23.

The report says 27% of people are worried about the cost of their

:16:24.:16:28.

home. In Harefield, west of London, this

:16:29.:16:34.

two bedroom council house is now home to three generations of Lisa's

:16:35.:16:40.

family. There is myself, my partner, Jim, son, Ellen, Claire. We have

:16:41.:16:46.

with their two sons. All the adults have jobs but around here, modest

:16:47.:16:50.

wages don't match soaring rents. Claire says her only choice was to

:16:51.:16:55.

move back in with her mum. A bit of privacy. You haven't got none, we

:16:56.:17:01.

haven't got none Self-respect. We get really loe, don't we? It is

:17:02.:17:05.

degrading. If you want to have friends around, you can't because it

:17:06.:17:13.

is nanny's house, isn't it? Claire grew up around here. She

:17:14.:17:19.

spent a couple of years at a fraensd place just outside the borough which

:17:20.:17:24.

disqualifies her for applying for council housing. ! I'm feeling

:17:25.:17:32.

stressed now. Renting privately has proved impossible It is a lot of

:17:33.:17:38.

money, 600 for month. But the landlords are saying no-one wants

:17:39.:17:41.

housing Ben fi. I would need part housing benefit to help me pay for

:17:42.:17:47.

it. Like Claire, 58% of young adults live in homes that fail the living

:17:48.:17:53.

home standed a. The It is in bad repair, dark, damp and mouldy. Back

:17:54.:17:59.

in Bristol, Esmee and Ian are desperate to move. Writing letters

:18:00.:18:06.

to the council. I was hopeful at first but now it looks like... It

:18:07.:18:10.

look likes a hopeless task. I don't want to bloody die here. 73% of

:18:11.:18:15.

Londoners' homes fail the new test. For Claire, an office worker, and

:18:16.:18:20.

her sons, it comes down to this. Every night they sleep on the living

:18:21.:18:22.

room floor. China has held a ceremony for two

:18:23.:18:47.

astronauts who are going off to space. Now we have the sports news.

:18:48.:18:57.

Andy Murray says the last few months have been the best of his career.

:18:58.:19:00.

The Wimbledon and Olympic champion has won back-to-back titles

:19:01.:19:02.

He won the Shanghai Masters today, and if the winning run continues

:19:03.:19:07.

he could knock Novak Djokovic off of the top of the world rankings.

:19:08.:19:12.

The world is watching a thrilling tennis competition,

:19:13.:19:13.

and it is not simply Andy Murray against Roberto Bautista Agut.

:19:14.:19:16.

That was the final in Shanghai, which had some wonderful moments.

:19:17.:19:19.

Enough in this rally to make the crowd gasp.

:19:20.:19:22.

Tie-break in the first set, Andy Murray lost one point.

:19:23.:19:38.

His opponent beat Novak Djokovic in the semifinal.

:19:39.:19:42.

As Andy Murray swept through the second set,

:19:43.:19:44.

he was closing the gap on the world number one.

:19:45.:19:48.

Murray has not conceded a set for a month, he looks back

:19:49.:19:53.

Quite a different team this year, with Ivan Lendl and Jamie.

:19:54.:20:03.

Since the French Open it has been the best three months of my career.

:20:04.:20:07.

6-1 in the second set, his sixth title of the year.

:20:08.:20:17.

Prizes mean ranking points, and by the end of it he might just

:20:18.:20:21.

Mark Cavendish has missed out on a second world road-race title.

:20:22.:20:32.

The British rider was runner-up to the reigning

:20:33.:20:35.

Cavendish was one of the favourites on the 160-mile course but says

:20:36.:20:42.

he got his tactics wrong in Qatar, and he was pipped by the Slovakian,

:20:43.:20:46.

who is the first rider in nine years to retain

:20:47.:20:48.

There were two matches in the Premier League today.

:20:49.:20:54.

Watford's trip to the Riverside Stadium saw them beat Middlesbrough.

:20:55.:20:56.

There was only one goal, Jose Holevas

:20:57.:20:58.

That lifted the Hornets into the top half of the table.

:20:59.:21:03.

Boro are yet to win at home this season and are just

:21:04.:21:06.

above the relegation zone on goal difference.

:21:07.:21:08.

And Southampton are up to eighth after they beat

:21:09.:21:10.

Charlie Austin scored twice but Nathan Redmond got the best

:21:11.:21:16.

The Munster head coach and former Ireland captain Anthony Foley died

:21:17.:21:25.

overnight in Paris ahead of the team's match

:21:26.:21:26.

The 42-year-old won 62 caps for Ireland in a ten-year

:21:27.:21:31.

Ireland's President Michael D Higgins called him one

:21:32.:21:37.

of the great figures of Irish sport in the modern era .

:21:38.:21:46.

He captained Munster when they became European champions in 2006.

:21:47.:21:49.

That match in Paris was understandably postponed

:21:50.:21:51.

Exeter Chiefs and Clermont Auvergne held a minute's silence

:21:52.:21:54.

before their European Champions Cup game at Sandy Park.

:21:55.:21:56.

Clermont scored five tries to Exeter's one.

:21:57.:21:59.

The former Bath full-back Nick Abendanon was one of

:22:00.:22:01.

In the same pool Ulster lost 28-13 to Bordeaux.
