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 | :11:17. | :11:19. | |
they go to negotiations. Ministers insist there will be | :11:20. | :11:21. | |
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 | :11:37. | :11:37. | |
or even campaign. It's a reality that ministers have | :11:38. | :11:39. | |
promised to deliver. Somewhat similar clarity | :11:40. | :11:41. | |
the wider government. Donald Trump has again claimed | :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 | :12:05. | :12:07. | |
the outcome of the vote. The 15-year-old daughter of the US | :12:08. | :12:11. | |
sprinter Tyson Gay has been shot Trinity Gay died after being hit | :12:12. | :12:14. | |
in the neck, in what witnesses say was an exchange of gunfire | :12:15. | :12:19. | |
between two vehicles in the early Tyson Gay is second only | :12:20. | :12:22. | |
to Jamaica's Usain Bolt in the all-time list | :12:23. | :12:27. | |
of fastest-ever 100-metre runners. Britain, the United | :12:28. | :12:43. | |
States have called for an unconditional | :12:44. | :12:44. | |
ceasefire in Yemen to be The Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn has | :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. | |
