:00:00. > :00:07.Russia and America agree a deal to try to bring an end

:00:08. > :00:15.Today saw more shelling around the northern city of Aleppo,

:00:16. > :00:21.but a ceasefire is due to begin on Monday.

:00:22. > :00:23.We'll be live in Damascus, asking whether the deal

:00:24. > :00:27.Also tonight: The Trade Secretary prompts a furious reaction

:00:28. > :00:31.from business leaders after saying Britain is fat and lazy, and failing

:00:32. > :00:38.And the golds keep coming as Hannah Cockcroft wins

:00:39. > :00:43.again and breaks her own Paralympic record.

:00:44. > :00:46.And after four years, the rivalry resumes

:00:47. > :00:48.in the Scottish Premier League, with the Old Firm derby

:00:49. > :01:12.Russia and the Unites States are preparing for a "cessation

:01:13. > :01:15.of hostilities" in Syria which could see humanitarian aid

:01:16. > :01:23.The agreement between Moscow and Washington will also mean

:01:24. > :01:24.coordinated air strikes against Islamist militants.

:01:25. > :01:27.But while state-run media in Syria says the government has approved

:01:28. > :01:29.a deal, all previous attempts to end the violence have failed

:01:30. > :01:39.Here's our Diplomatic Correspondent James Landale.

:01:40. > :01:42.The hours before a ceasefire can often be deadly.

:01:43. > :01:45.Today in eastern Aleppo, government sources sought

:01:46. > :01:48.to consolidate their position in a city left devastated

:01:49. > :01:55.by conflict, a city where tomorrow night, these guns could fall silent.

:01:56. > :01:57.And that's because of an agreement announced by the Americans

:01:58. > :02:00.and Russians overnight in Geneva, an agreement that they hope

:02:01. > :02:07.If this arrangement holds, then we will see a significant

:02:08. > :02:14.We will see humanitarian aid deliveries go forward in Aleppo

:02:15. > :02:20.Under the deal, a nationwide ceasefire would begin

:02:21. > :02:24.Humanitarian aid would be allowed into besieged areas.

:02:25. > :02:27.The Syrian air force would stop attacking opposition groups

:02:28. > :02:30.in designated areas, and if that happens,

:02:31. > :02:33.then Russia and the United States would for the first time

:02:34. > :02:36.take joint military action against Islamic State

:02:37. > :02:50.Today, some 25 people were said to have died in an air

:02:51. > :02:53.strike on the rebel-held town of Idlib.

:02:54. > :02:55.This deal will work only if the Russians succeed

:02:56. > :02:57.in getting their allies to end this kind of bombing.

:02:58. > :03:02.TRANSLATION: The Syrian government has been informed by us

:03:03. > :03:06.about these arrangements, and it is ready to fulfil them.

:03:07. > :03:13.It supports the initiative we agreed with the United States,

:03:14. > :03:15.so we will do everything which depends on us,

:03:16. > :03:18.but it is understandable that not everything depends on us.

:03:19. > :03:21.Much also depends on the US-backed opposition groups.

:03:22. > :03:24.Some Free Syrian Army commanders doubted

:03:25. > :03:30.They and others will now have to distance themselves from

:03:31. > :03:34.allied forces linked to Al-Qaeda, and that's a big ask.

:03:35. > :03:37.The key to bringing about a disentanglement

:03:38. > :03:47.between the moderate groups and the extremists is to force

:03:48. > :03:50.Assad to stop bombing and to force it away from besieging cities

:03:51. > :03:53.This is not the first ceasefire agreed in Syria,

:03:54. > :03:55.but the last one in February fell apart within weeks.

:03:56. > :04:00.do not always survive the reality on the ground.

:04:01. > :04:10.Our Middle East Editor Jeremy Bowen is in Damascus.

:04:11. > :04:18.Should we all be a little sceptical about this latest deal holding after

:04:19. > :04:23.so many false dawns in the past? And yes, of course. But also, it's a

:04:24. > :04:28.question of how you define success. I was talking to a guy from the UN

:04:29. > :04:32.tonight and he said, if next week fewer people die, that is a form of

:04:33. > :04:39.success. If supplies can get to places which are desperately in need

:04:40. > :04:42.of them, that is a form of success. It is immensely complicated, and the

:04:43. > :04:48.war here is also immensely complicated. So if this does work,

:04:49. > :04:54.it will only work is the first step in a series of steps. What could go

:04:55. > :05:01.wrong? A lot, as you have been hearing. To make this work, a lot of

:05:02. > :05:06.things have to go right at the same time. That is what will be so

:05:07. > :05:10.difficult. Particularly, trying to disentangle the different rebel

:05:11. > :05:14.groups is going to be an immensely obligated task, which the Americans

:05:15. > :05:23.have been trying and failing to do for a long time already. So loads of

:05:24. > :05:24.problems. And it is an irredeemably dark situation, but the only chink

:05:25. > :05:30.of light. Jeremy Bowen, in Damascus. The International Trade Secretary

:05:31. > :05:33.Liam Fox has drawn heavy criticism for saying Britain has grown "too

:05:34. > :05:36.fat and lazy" to fully Addressing a Conservative free

:05:37. > :05:40.market event, he said some business executives would rather play golf

:05:41. > :05:42.on Friday afternoons The comments have been

:05:43. > :05:47.described by one boss Here's our Political

:05:48. > :05:52.Correspondent Alex Forsyth. Two months ago, he was given

:05:53. > :05:54.the job of promoting UK a Brexit backer now in charge

:05:55. > :06:01.of negotiating trade deals. But at a Conservative drinks

:06:02. > :06:03.reception in Parliament, Liam Fox was recorded

:06:04. > :06:08.by a newspaper saying this. This country is not the free trading

:06:09. > :06:14.nation that it once was. We have become too lazy and too fat

:06:15. > :06:17.on our successes He said businesses should consider

:06:18. > :06:29.exporting goods as a duty. Companies who could be contributing

:06:30. > :06:31.to our national prosperity, but choose not to because it might

:06:32. > :06:34.be too difficult or too time-consuming or that they can't

:06:35. > :06:36.play golf on a Friday afternoon, we've got to be saying to them,

:06:37. > :06:39.if you want a share in the prosperity of our country,

:06:40. > :06:42.you have a duty to contribute Himself no stranger to the golf

:06:43. > :06:48.course, Dr Fox's swing at UK business

:06:49. > :06:51.raised important points for some, His comments about British business

:06:52. > :06:54.leaders sloping off to the golf

:06:55. > :06:56.course on a Friday afternoon are unhelpful and quite

:06:57. > :07:00.frankly, they are untrue. British business leaders work hard

:07:01. > :07:03.in developing the businesses In his speech, Liam Fox did say

:07:04. > :07:13.he had never felt more confident or optimistic about

:07:14. > :07:14.the country's future. In a statement today,

:07:15. > :07:20.a spokesman said Mr Fox, whose new Department

:07:21. > :07:22.of International Trade is based here, was committed to supporting UK

:07:23. > :07:25.business so that they could take advantage of the opportunities

:07:26. > :07:27.offered by Brexit. Nonetheless, his comments,

:07:28. > :07:30.although meant for Tory colleagues, sent a, for some, unwelcome message

:07:31. > :07:37.to the world from a man whose The Democratic presidential

:07:38. > :07:48.candidate Hillary Clinton says she regrets comments made at a rally

:07:49. > :07:51.last night about Donald She said half of them were

:07:52. > :07:55.deplorable people who were racist, Our North America Correspondent Gary

:07:56. > :08:05.O'Donoghue is in Washington. Donald Trump has got into serious

:08:06. > :08:10.trouble for some of his language on the campaign trail. Now Mrs Clinton

:08:11. > :08:14.is in hot water? Yes, Hillary Clinton did not mince her words,

:08:15. > :08:19.saying that half of Donald Trump supporters would fit into the basket

:08:20. > :08:22.of deplorables. If there is one rule of politics, you can say what you

:08:23. > :08:26.like about your opponents, but don't insult the voters. If the polls are

:08:27. > :08:35.to be believed, she may have insulted upwards of 25 million

:08:36. > :08:38.people. Donald Trump seized on it, saying she would be harmed at the

:08:39. > :08:41.polls as a result. She has partly retracted what she said, saying she

:08:42. > :08:44.apologised for using the word half. Will it harm her? Her own supporters

:08:45. > :08:48.will agree. Donald Trump's supporters would never have backed

:08:49. > :08:52.her anyway. What about the undecideds? Will they feel this is

:08:53. > :08:56.not quite presidential? Gary O'Donoghue, in Washington.

:08:57. > :08:59.Great Britain's Paralympians have added more medals on day

:09:00. > :09:01.three in Rio after taking seven golds yesterday.

:09:02. > :09:03.Andy Lewis took gold in the inaugural triathlon -

:09:04. > :09:06.and within the last hour, Hannah Cockroft broke her own

:09:07. > :09:08.Paralympic record to again take gold in her 100 metre final.

:09:09. > :09:10.Overnight, Ellie Robinson raced to victory in the pool,

:09:11. > :09:14.and Jonnie Peacock also became a double Paralympic champion.

:09:15. > :09:18.Here's our Sports Correspondent Andy Swiss.

:09:19. > :09:25.An estimated 160,000 descended on the Paralympic Park.

:09:26. > :09:27.According to organisers, that's more than any single

:09:28. > :09:33.But for British fans, the early interest

:09:34. > :09:39.On Copacabana beach, the Games' first ever triathlon, and

:09:40. > :09:43.When he was a teenager, Lewis had his lower leg amputated

:09:44. > :09:46.Today, emphatically, unforgettably,

:09:47. > :09:54.To be here in Rio, to compete on Copacabana Beach,

:09:55. > :09:57.first time ever in history for para-triathlon to be

:09:58. > :09:59.in the Paralympics, and then to walk away with that?

:10:00. > :10:04.It still hasn't probably sunk in yet, but I'm absolutely

:10:05. > :10:14.amazed that it's happened, and even to me!

:10:15. > :10:19.There was also told in the athletics. Hannah Cockroft retained

:10:20. > :10:27.her 100 metres crown in commanding style. Another blistering display

:10:28. > :10:35.from Cockcroft, and it was a British one-two, with carrier Dunagan taking

:10:36. > :10:41.silver. Four hours ago, Kadeena Cox won a medal in the athletic site.

:10:42. > :10:46.Tonight, she charged to victory in the velodrome, setting a new record

:10:47. > :10:53.in the time trial. Two medals across two Sportscene two days, an

:10:54. > :10:59.extraordinary achievement. The Jonnie Peacock, it was a day to

:11:00. > :11:07.reflect on the night before. He told me this when was even sweeter than

:11:08. > :11:12.London 2012. London was almost pressure free for me, because it was

:11:13. > :11:16.my first Games. I was only 19 years old. I had the excuse to fall back

:11:17. > :11:20.on if anything did go wrong. This one was always going to be a lot

:11:21. > :11:25.harder. There was more pressure, but luckily, I managed to pull through

:11:26. > :11:31.in the end. But the Paralympics isn't just about the winners. This

:11:32. > :11:35.is Egypt's Ibrahim Amadou, the only man to play table tennis with his

:11:36. > :11:40.toes and his teeth. Although he lost, he said competing here was a

:11:41. > :11:41.dream come true. I want to tell everyone, he added, that nothing is

:11:42. > :11:50.impossible. What an incredible talent he is, and

:11:51. > :11:55.what an incredible performance from Britain's Kadeena Cox, the first

:11:56. > :12:00.Briton to win two medals in two sports at the same Paralympics 28

:12:01. > :12:05.years, an extraordinary achievement. Dame Sarah Storey finished fourth in

:12:06. > :12:09.that race. It is not the strongest event, but even so, another good day

:12:10. > :12:15.for Britain, still second in the medals table, and they will be

:12:16. > :12:18.hoping for plenty more to come. Andy Swiss, in Rio.

:12:19. > :12:20.After four years, the rivalry has resumed in the Scottish Premier

:12:21. > :12:24.The Old Firm derby today at Parkhead saw Moussa Dembele on his home

:12:25. > :12:27.debut grab a hat trick, as Celtic won 5-1.

:12:28. > :12:33.they came in their colourful thousands

:12:34. > :12:36.to witness the latest chapter in an age-old rivalry.

:12:37. > :12:38.As the teams emerged to a familiar deafening din,

:12:39. > :12:48.a familiar face was missing for Celtic, top goalscorer

:12:49. > :12:51.Thankfully for them, the man who replaced him

:12:52. > :12:55.Moussa Dembele with this first on the half-hour.

:12:56. > :12:57.His second was a fine finish and already,

:12:58. > :13:01.Just before the break, Joe Garner gave them hope.

:13:02. > :13:04.Just after the hour, Scott Sinclair killed it off.

:13:05. > :13:07.High-fives from the Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers,

:13:08. > :13:12.Deadly Dembele delivered a fourth to seal a hat-trick.

:13:13. > :13:17.Four was a hammering, five humiliating.

:13:18. > :13:23.The Rangers boss Mark Warburton said afterwards,

:13:24. > :13:27.there's no major gulf of between the sides.

:13:28. > :13:37.And like I say, we kept pressing right to the very end.

:13:38. > :13:40.We scored five, could have had one or two more.

:13:41. > :13:41.And defensively, we never really had any problems.

:13:42. > :13:43.So an outstanding team performance and result.

:13:44. > :13:45.Well, Celtic were the favourites and they didn't

:13:46. > :13:49.It was an emphatic victory in the end.

:13:50. > :13:52.The three points and the bragging rights belong to the green

:13:53. > :14:02.Chris McLaughlin, BBC News, Celtic Park.

:14:03. > :14:04.A new initiative targeting gangs who've been raiding historic

:14:05. > :14:06.buildings has been launched across the UK.

:14:07. > :14:08.Codenamed Operation Crucible, its focus is the illegal trade

:14:09. > :14:10.in lead and copper, threatening hundreds

:14:11. > :14:20.They are among our most valuable and most vulnerable treasures -

:14:21. > :14:23.prey to those who can cause irreparable damage

:14:24. > :14:26.to a thousand years of history in just a few minutes.

:14:27. > :14:29.In late July, we found out that the north aisle

:14:30. > :14:34.This church in the tiny village of Beeby

:14:35. > :14:41.It effectively damages over 1000 years' worth

:14:42. > :14:44.They are so important and they are buildings that

:14:45. > :14:46.belong to everybody - it's not private property,

:14:47. > :14:50.it is there for everybody, and the damage is untold.

:14:51. > :14:55.With police forces increasingly overstretched, the challenge

:14:56. > :14:58.is to find new partnerships which can help take on the thieves.

:14:59. > :15:01.Good morning, British Transport Police...

:15:02. > :15:04.In Birmingham, one new partnership has already been established.

:15:05. > :15:06.English Heritage expert Nick Molineux has joined

:15:07. > :15:11.an operation targeting scrap metal dealers across the Midlands.

:15:12. > :15:16.Quite quickly, we've seen some roof lead sheeting...

:15:17. > :15:19.We will now go in and check the records to see what date it

:15:20. > :15:22.arrived in, who's brought that in, what the vehicle is -

:15:23. > :15:25.and see if that will now tally up with any other

:15:26. > :15:28.Dealers must now keep those detailed records.

:15:29. > :15:32.Nick is here to help spot anything out of the ordinary.

:15:33. > :15:35.It's particularly valuable to me to find out how rigorous

:15:36. > :15:39.they are about looking for all this material,

:15:40. > :15:41.and then I can feed that information back into the system

:15:42. > :15:43.when I go back and talk, particularly to churches,

:15:44. > :15:46.about the whole problem of lead theft.

:15:47. > :15:50.In Hertfordshire, another Historic England team are seeing

:15:51. > :15:55.how it should be done - Aalchemy Metals are going far

:15:56. > :16:01.I believe the scrap metal industry as a whole could take a far

:16:02. > :16:03.higher moral ground, in particular when it

:16:04. > :16:05.They really need to be asking questions.

:16:06. > :16:09.Recent crime reports suggest that as the price of lead rises,

:16:10. > :16:20.A fresh approach has never been more urgently needed.

:16:21. > :16:39.From me and the team, have a very good night.

:16:40. > :16:46.Today has been a tale of two halves, weather-wise. The rain and the cloud

:16:47. > :16:47.rather stubborn across the eastern side of the country, the
