:01:09. > :01:10.It's been an amazing year for British sport

:01:11. > :01:33.Good evening and welcome to BBC News.

:01:34. > :01:36.The evacuation of civilians in Syria from the former rebel enclaves

:01:37. > :01:41.Buses travelled into the area to collect people -

:01:42. > :01:48.A limited evacuation did take place last week,

:01:49. > :01:50.but stopped on Friday because of disagreements

:01:51. > :01:54.is the suspension of a reciprocal evacuation of two

:01:55. > :01:56.besieged villages - Foua and Kefraya -

:01:57. > :02:01.which are mainly government-supporting.

:02:02. > :02:07.Rebel forces are said to have attacked and destroyed buses sent

:02:08. > :02:10.to rescue people from there - and this evening a human rights

:02:11. > :02:12.group said the mission had been postponed for an unknown time.

:02:13. > :02:14.Here's our correspondent Quentin Somerville,

:02:15. > :02:16.and I should warn you, there is distressing

:02:17. > :02:26.If only the ceasefire in Aleppo hadn't collapsed,

:02:27. > :02:30.then this might never have needed to happen.

:02:31. > :02:33.They are doing the best they can here, but this hospital

:02:34. > :02:41.There are none left in eastern Aleppo, so nurses

:02:42. > :02:47.TRANSLATION: The child has a birth defect.

:02:48. > :02:49.We immediately brought the mother here to the operating

:02:50. > :02:56.room for a Caesarean, which we are doing now.

:02:57. > :03:03.The mother is in a bad way and her baby boy even worse.

:03:04. > :03:05.But everyone here is at their wit's end.

:03:06. > :03:11.TRANSLATION: As soon as the patient arrived,

:03:12. > :03:13.I told the Red Cross that a patient needed emergency

:03:14. > :03:16.surgery but there was no answer because the evacuation

:03:17. > :03:26.In Aleppo's final days, all niceties have gone.

:03:27. > :03:31.Some of the sick made it out of here on Thursday

:03:32. > :03:36.After 24 hours, the ceasefire collapsed.

:03:37. > :03:46.There are now 100 badly injured people trapped here.

:03:47. > :03:49.He has been stuck here for three days, says this man.

:03:50. > :03:52.We have tried to leave but they stopped us.

:03:53. > :03:55.They've now run out of room inside, so outside the hospital,

:03:56. > :04:04.TRANSLATION: I've been coming and going for four days now.

:04:05. > :04:07.In the morning they promised to take us with ambulances and we've

:04:08. > :04:13.been waiting since then, but what else can I do?

:04:14. > :04:18.Rival factions attacked buses that were meant to free trapped sick

:04:19. > :04:23.Only when they are freed will the regime allow convoys

:04:24. > :04:31.And only after Aleppo's misery would you consider this salvation.

:04:32. > :04:41.The buses that bring them are so crowded there

:04:42. > :04:47.is no room for luggage, but here, there's relief.

:04:48. > :04:49.TRANSLATION: Rockets, Russian jets and warplanes all bombing us,

:04:50. > :04:56.We kept fleeing from one place to another.

:04:57. > :04:58.There was hunger, poverty and sleeping in the streets.

:04:59. > :05:05.This woman made it here with her twin girls.

:05:06. > :05:14.The camp may be crowded but here the sisters can breathe again.

:05:15. > :05:16.TRANSLATION: It is better than it was in Aleppo,

:05:17. > :05:20.We have new friends walking and playing together.

:05:21. > :05:22.There was a food shortage back there.

:05:23. > :05:27.We hated life but here we are eating biscuits and everything.

:05:28. > :05:32.Every minute and every hour of the ceasefire that is lost,

:05:33. > :05:43.is another moment of life denied to the children of Aleppo.

:05:44. > :05:47.Earlier I spoke to Tauqir Sharif - a British aid worker involved

:05:48. > :05:51.in the evacuation of civilians who's currently in Idlib province -

:05:52. > :05:54.and I asked him if it was clear who is in control

:05:55. > :06:03.There has been a major, major upset on the ground.

:06:04. > :06:09.Because there's many different groups that are controlling these

:06:10. > :06:11.areas, there's not want hope that controls these areas,

:06:12. > :06:18.it's made up of different militias and rebel factions.

:06:19. > :06:24.The general public have basically, in a sense, started a revolution.

:06:25. > :06:27.They are very unhappy that the rebel groups have not been able to unite

:06:28. > :06:36.and they are upset that Aleppo was lost.

:06:37. > :06:38.And for this reason many of these anarchist groups

:06:39. > :06:41.people who are protesting and revolting have started

:06:42. > :06:51.Just the other day a crossing was cut.

:06:52. > :06:54.There has been a whole heap of security issues on the ground.

:06:55. > :06:57.You work with an aid group, what sort of care are the sick

:06:58. > :07:00.and the injured getting once they've left Aleppo and some of these other

:07:01. > :07:10.At the moment the situation is very dire.

:07:11. > :07:12.We just coming to winter, it's getting really cold,

:07:13. > :07:23.We've only had one wave of people evacuated from Aleppo city.

:07:24. > :07:29.The charity organisations here on the ground are

:07:30. > :07:36.The first day when people were evacuated before

:07:37. > :07:38.the ceasefire broke down, we found hundreds of people

:07:39. > :07:47.At the moment we are opening up mosques, schools,

:07:48. > :07:52.and temporary housing facilities until we can find a more

:07:53. > :07:54.stable refugee camp, or move them to Turkey,

:07:55. > :08:01.The situation is very difficult, people coming out with no

:08:02. > :08:07.money and whatever they can carry in their hands, basically.

:08:08. > :08:11.Let's speak to Dr Arash Aramesh, a Middle East Foreign Policy Analyst.

:08:12. > :08:25.Lovely to see you. A confusing situation but the latest news we are

:08:26. > :08:30.getting from the Reuters news agency is via a UN official that

:08:31. > :08:37.evacuations are now back on. Encouraging, but as I said, slightly

:08:38. > :08:43.confusing. Encouraging, and I just got this telex on the wires that

:08:44. > :08:46.there are reports that in eastern Aleppo evacuations are being

:08:47. > :08:52.resumed. But there is no guarantee that they won't be stopped again.

:08:53. > :08:58.What happened in the past 48 hours was, after Islamist rebels in the

:08:59. > :09:02.Italy province, let's remember that the Idlib province is more Assad

:09:03. > :09:06.friendly, even though the rebels have had certain successes in the

:09:07. > :09:15.past year and a half, two years, there are a couple of shia the

:09:16. > :09:17.villages that were under siege. One of the tit-for-tat or reciprocal

:09:18. > :09:23.conditions for allowing civilians and rebels to leave eastern Aleppo

:09:24. > :09:30.was also to provide safe passage for Shi'ite villages in these villages

:09:31. > :09:34.in Idlib. When rebels in Idlib started firing at the buses and

:09:35. > :09:40.setting these buses ablaze, we're getting reports it was pressured

:09:41. > :09:44.from the Iranians saying, unless you stop attacking these Shi'ite

:09:45. > :09:47.villages trying to be evacuated, the Iranians and Syrian forces will not

:09:48. > :09:53.guarantee safe passage to either civilians or militants in eastern

:09:54. > :09:57.Aleppo. So it's a terrible tit-for-tat retaliatory sort of

:09:58. > :10:01.move. The price of which is being paid by the women and children of

:10:02. > :10:06.both those villages in Idlib and also eastern Aleppo. The other main

:10:07. > :10:10.advance today in the situation is the news that there is a compromised

:10:11. > :10:17.UN security resolution that's been put in place. We are expecting a

:10:18. > :10:20.vote tomorrow. It sounds as if everybody is more or less on board.

:10:21. > :10:25.Russia had been saying they were going to veto it. But as you've just

:10:26. > :10:30.been saying, tit-for-tat, does that mean Iran will also be on board with

:10:31. > :10:33.this? Because the finger is pointing at them a fair bit when it comes to

:10:34. > :10:41.halting these ceasefires and evacuations. Iran certainly has a

:10:42. > :10:49.hardline position. Iran is not there to save the secularists regime, they

:10:50. > :10:55.are there to save Assad because Assad has been a very critical ally

:10:56. > :11:00.for the Iranians and Iran counts on Syria to be able to support,

:11:01. > :11:06.training and further enhance its agenda with Hezbollah in Lebanon.

:11:07. > :11:14.And they have the largest Shia power in the region, and believes they

:11:15. > :11:18.have this duty and obligation. Having said all this Iran obviously

:11:19. > :11:24.does have a geopolitical interest and a national security interest as

:11:25. > :11:29.it views it to support the Shia. So that was a red line for the

:11:30. > :11:33.Iranians. If they are going to let eastern Aleppo civilians, mostly

:11:34. > :11:41.Sunnis, to be evacuated, and if they are going to allow safe passage for

:11:42. > :11:44.the militants, they wanted to see their Shi'ite brethren to also

:11:45. > :11:49.receive the same safe passage. Having said that, as far as the UN

:11:50. > :11:53.Security Council resolution is concerned, anything that is going to

:11:54. > :11:56.have any language in tens of having blue helmet UN peacekeeping forces

:11:57. > :12:01.on the ground is most likely going to be vetoed by the Russians. And

:12:02. > :12:06.all you need is one country. All you need is just the Russians to veto

:12:07. > :12:10.any UN Security Council resolution. If you want a resolution you

:12:11. > :12:13.probably want to get it now, it's going to be less likely that the

:12:14. > :12:17.Trump administration is going to be on board with any sort of

:12:18. > :12:20.involvement coming to Syria. But the French and British are adamant to

:12:21. > :12:25.get some sort of compromise resolution and to alleviate some of

:12:26. > :12:31.this horrendous pain and human suffering that we've seen on par

:12:32. > :12:35.with thread on each, -- on par with Strother nature.

:12:36. > :12:39.And on par with some of the horrendous battles of the Second

:12:40. > :12:46.World War. I want to jump in quickly and discuss the point, talk of a

:12:47. > :12:49.ceasefire but he has made the point, Putin, that he does not want the UN

:12:50. > :12:54.included and he does not want the US included. Many are saying that could

:12:55. > :12:59.all change once Mr Trump is in the White House, why does that matter?

:13:00. > :13:05.Well, when Mr Trump has promised a much more Russia friendly posture

:13:06. > :13:09.and US foreign policy, I don't know what that means. If anything Russia

:13:10. > :13:16.is both tactically and strategically a US adversarial. Russian interests

:13:17. > :13:19.in the region and in the world are not what you would call parallel

:13:20. > :13:25.with US interests. Russia views a lot of these issues as a 0-sum game

:13:26. > :13:29.and is willing to go above and beyond, even partaking in what

:13:30. > :13:35.people would call it genocide and a war crime to achieve its goals. I

:13:36. > :13:37.really do not know what the Trump administration has up its sleeve. On

:13:38. > :13:44.the one hand you've got key national security figures who are not exactly

:13:45. > :13:47.very pro-Russia such as General James Madison coming in as the

:13:48. > :13:53.secretary of defence, but then you've got other figures who have

:13:54. > :13:57.shown a much softer stance on Russia and especially Putin. So we've got

:13:58. > :14:02.to wait and see what happens. But what Putin wants is no US forces, no

:14:03. > :14:08.British or French boots on the ground, he wants him to clean house

:14:09. > :14:11.and the Syrian forces and allies to win and clean house and that is

:14:12. > :14:12.going to be bad news for the civilian population. Great to speak

:14:13. > :14:16.to you, thank you. And we'll find out how this story -

:14:17. > :14:20.and many others - are covered evening in The Papers -

:14:21. > :14:27.our guests joining me tonight are Martin Lipton,

:14:28. > :14:30.Deputy Head of Sport at The Sun and Martin Bentham,

:14:31. > :14:31.Home Affairs Editor The International Trade Secretary

:14:32. > :14:41.Liam Fox has refused to rule out Britain remaining a member

:14:42. > :14:44.of the European Customs' Union after Brexit,

:14:45. > :14:46.which could limit the ability to cut He told the BBC's Andrew Marr

:14:47. > :14:51.that he was "instinctively a free trader" and he would have his say

:14:52. > :14:53.in the Cabinet. Here's our Political

:14:54. > :14:55.Correspondent Ben Wright. There's some flash

:14:56. > :15:04.photography in his report. At the moment, British

:15:05. > :15:08.businesses know the score. We are full members of the EU single

:15:09. > :15:11.market with its free movement We are also members

:15:12. > :15:16.of the EU's customs union, The huge question is,

:15:17. > :15:24.what will Brexit bring? This morning, the Trade Secretary

:15:25. > :15:27.suggested we could remain partial We want to look at all

:15:28. > :15:33.the different things. I hear people talking about hard

:15:34. > :15:37.Brexit and soft Brexit as if it is a boiled egg

:15:38. > :15:40.we are talking about. Turkey is in part of the customs

:15:41. > :15:44.union but not other parts. The customs union includes all 28 EU

:15:45. > :15:53.nations but also Turkey, Monaco, And all can trade

:15:54. > :15:57.freely with each other. But they must impose the same

:15:58. > :16:00.tariffs on goods from nations They are also barred from doing

:16:01. > :16:06.bilateral trade deals That is why the Trade Secretary

:16:07. > :16:10.would like a half way house. So he's got something to do,

:16:11. > :16:12.and the government has The UK could stay in

:16:13. > :16:17.the single market, but that would mean continued free

:16:18. > :16:20.movement of people and the oversight We might only remain

:16:21. > :16:27.in the customs union. Or the biggest change, the UK leaves

:16:28. > :16:31.the lot and trades with EU The former Chancellor, now free

:16:32. > :16:34.to speak without a Government script Yes, it is true that the grass

:16:35. > :16:38.may be greener outside of those arrangements,

:16:39. > :16:41.and we may be able to conduct new free trade deals with Australia

:16:42. > :16:44.and the United States and so on, but that should not come at a price

:16:45. > :16:47.of giving up the existing free trade arrangements we have

:16:48. > :16:54.with Germany and France. You cannot say we are a beacon

:16:55. > :16:58.of free trade in the world and then the main thing we can achieve

:16:59. > :17:01.is a huge act of protectionism, Popping up again to offer his Brexit

:17:02. > :17:08.services, Nigel Farage, friend of President-elect Donald Trump,

:17:09. > :17:11.the former Ukip leader told the BBC he wanted to be a bridge

:17:12. > :17:15.between the new trade Department Number 10 said there

:17:16. > :17:21.was no job vacancy. Six months on after the vote

:17:22. > :17:27.to leave the European Union, everyone in government agrees that

:17:28. > :17:29.Brexit will happen but if ministers At the moment, all options

:17:30. > :17:34.seem to be on the table. Remember, this is not a question

:17:35. > :17:37.of the UK asking for a deal, in the spring Britain will begin

:17:38. > :17:39.discussions with 27 other countries who are determined to get a Brexit

:17:40. > :17:53.that works for them. In Syria the evacuation of civilians

:17:54. > :17:57.from eastern Aleppo is hit by another setback,

:17:58. > :17:59.as buses due to help people leave two villages north

:18:00. > :18:04.of the city are set alight. Gun attacks in Jordan

:18:05. > :18:06.kill at least 10 people Ahead of another strike

:18:10. > :18:11.the RMT leader, dismisses claims his union is using the dispute

:18:12. > :18:20.to take on the government. Sport now, a full round up

:18:21. > :18:28.from the BBC Sport Centre. Andy Murray is BBC Sports

:18:29. > :18:30.Personality of the Year The world number one tennis player

:18:31. > :18:37.beat 15 other contenders on a highly He wasn't at the ceremony

:18:38. > :18:41.in Birmingham to collect the award - instead being presented

:18:42. > :18:43.with the trophy by Lennox It's been the best year

:18:44. > :18:52.of Murray's career. He won Wimbledon and the Olympic

:18:53. > :18:55.title as well gaining the much Fellow Olympic gold medallists

:18:56. > :18:59.Alistair Brownlee the triathlete was second and 58 year

:19:00. > :19:03.old showjumper Nick Skelton was 3rd. Manchester City put their recent

:19:04. > :19:12.problems behind them, moving up to second place

:19:13. > :19:14.in the Premier League table after beating

:19:15. > :19:16.Arsenal 2-1 at the Etihad. City had

:19:17. > :19:24.to come from behind. It was Raheem Stirling

:19:25. > :19:26.who scored their winner 20 minutes from time,

:19:27. > :19:29.but earlier Theo Walcott had opened the scoring for Arsenal

:19:30. > :19:31.after just five minutes. City are now seven points behind

:19:32. > :19:34.league leaders Chelsea. Of course, it was quite

:19:35. > :19:46.similar to Chelsea. With Chelsea, we didn't

:19:47. > :19:49.win, and today we did. We have problems with

:19:50. > :19:52.important players not That is very difficult to accept

:19:53. > :20:09.in a game like that. I believe there is a lot going

:20:10. > :20:15.on the moment that is not serious. It is unbelievable,

:20:16. > :20:17.but every time the decisions go against

:20:18. > :20:29.you, and unilaterally. Spurs are now only a point behind

:20:30. > :20:31.Arsenal, in fifth place. They beat Burnley 2-1

:20:32. > :20:38.at White Hart Lane. Like Manchester City,

:20:39. > :20:40.Spurs also had to come from behind. Danny Rose scored the winner

:20:41. > :20:42.20 minutes from time. Earlier Ashley Barnes had given

:20:43. > :20:45.Burnley the lead before Dele Alli I think always the Premier League

:20:46. > :20:57.is hard to win games. Today we knew that Burnley is a team

:20:58. > :21:00.that fight a lot, run a lot, every ball, they

:21:01. > :21:02.are ready to challenge. I think the team played

:21:03. > :21:11.in a very good way. I think that we fully deserved

:21:12. > :21:15.in the end the victory and I am pleased with that because it

:21:16. > :21:17.was a difficult win. And in the other Premier League

:21:18. > :21:19.match, Southampton won They were 3-1 winners

:21:20. > :21:25.at Bournemouth. Onto rugby union, and

:21:26. > :21:27.there's been an upset Scarlets survived a tense

:21:28. > :21:30.finale to hang on and beat Leigh Halfpenny missed two late

:21:31. > :21:39.penalties for the French team. Defending champions Saracens

:21:40. > :21:40.continued their 100% record in this competition,

:21:41. > :21:43.but they were made to work for a 26-10 victory against Sale

:21:44. > :21:55.that keeps them top of Pool Three. Saracens relied on the boot

:21:56. > :21:58.of Owen Farrell to forge a lead in a cagey opening to the game,

:21:59. > :22:01.he gave them a narrow advantage Sale defended well and almost

:22:02. > :22:06.snatched a try that would've put them ahead through Denny Solumona

:22:07. > :22:09.on his debut in rugby union following his switch of codes

:22:10. > :22:11.from the Super League, but the ball just

:22:12. > :22:13.bounced over his head. And Saracens punished that slip up

:22:14. > :22:17.with two late tries, Nathan Earle added some gloss

:22:18. > :22:27.to the scoreline late on and Sale did pull one back

:22:28. > :22:29.through Bryn Evans, but they left it too late

:22:30. > :22:32.and remain bottom of the pool. There was one other match

:22:33. > :22:34.involving a British side - England's hope of a consolation

:22:35. > :22:39.victory in the 5th and final test India batted all the way

:22:40. > :22:50.through the third day That's 86 behind England's

:27:58. > :28:02.will be more windy than white and that means next weekend will be very

:28:03. > :28:08.different from this weekend. Some problematic fog but relatively

:28:09. > :28:11.quiet. A fine view from the RSPB reserve in East Yorkshire. Other

:28:12. > :28:16.parts of England and Wales with fog going back into it tonight. Some

:28:17. > :28:20.dense patches around in parts of England and South Wales, the

:28:21. > :28:24.Midlands. North-west Scotland has outbreaks of rain arriving later.

:28:25. > :28:27.Could be some pockets of frost but we are mainly concerned about fog in

:28:28. > :28:32.the morning, especially through parts of England and Wales. Patchy

:28:33. > :28:37.but Denton places. Had an impact on travel over the past few days, but

:28:38. > :28:40.may be problematic on Monday morning. Check the situation near

:28:41. > :28:45.you with your local station before heading out the door. This is a

:28:46. > :28:49.snapshot at 8am, Misty and murky start. Even if you are not in fog,

:28:50. > :28:55.temperatures at this stage close to where they have been all weekend.

:28:56. > :28:58.Plenty of dry weather, maybe drizzly in places. For Scotland and Northern

:28:59. > :29:03.Ireland a weather front is edging in from the Atlantic. Week but reducing

:29:04. > :29:08.outbreaks of rain especially to the Western Highlands. That is going to

:29:09. > :29:11.spread south-eastwards through the rest of Scotland and Northern

:29:12. > :29:15.Ireland through the day. Not a huge amount of rain left but down for a

:29:16. > :29:21.time. Behind it some of us may brighten up for the end of the day.

:29:22. > :29:23.England and Wales, emphasis on cloud rather than sunshine, some patchy

:29:24. > :29:28.rain through parts of the east and south-east. If you start with fog

:29:29. > :29:32.visibility slowly improving but temperatures still in single

:29:33. > :29:35.figures. As we go into Monday night clear skies mean a night for

:29:36. > :29:41.Scotland and Northern Ireland, so more could have frost. Plenty of

:29:42. > :29:45.cloud in England and Wales. Rain around. Brighter skies developing

:29:46. > :29:50.elsewhere in England. Then quite a change on the way to the far

:29:51. > :29:53.north-west, parts of Scotland and Northern Ireland turning windier,

:29:54. > :29:56.getting heavier rain moving in pushing south-eastwards during the

:29:57. > :30:01.day on Wednesday and that is the first of a number of weather systems

:30:02. > :30:05.coming our way later this week. We are starting the week with

:30:06. > :30:08.high-pressure, mainly dry, quiet. From midweek onwards turning wetter

:30:09. > :30:11.and windier at times and it looks like that sort of weather will take
