:00:16. > :00:20.29 people have been injured by an explosion in New York.

:00:21. > :00:23.It happened in a crowded part of Manhattan last night.

:00:24. > :00:27.City officials say the blast was intentional, but there was no

:00:28. > :00:31.evidence so far to suggest it was a terrorist act.

:00:32. > :00:33.It's not clear who was behind the explosion, which took place

:00:34. > :00:36.Another device was discovered a short distance away

:00:37. > :00:54.This was a loud explosion in the heart of Manhattan,

:00:55. > :01:02.The fashionable Chelsea neighbourhood, always busy

:01:03. > :01:10.on a Saturday night, but the streets quickly emptied

:01:11. > :01:21.I thought it might be fireworks, but it was so loud and it just went

:01:22. > :01:25.Then we saw a guy that got injured and he was bleeding.

:01:26. > :01:38.It was close, and people were running for their lives.

:01:39. > :01:46.The casualties were mostly cut by flying glass. Some of the injuries

:01:47. > :01:46.are serious but not life threatening.

:01:47. > :01:51.Shortly after, police released this photo of a mangled dustbin,

:01:52. > :01:55.New York's Mayor said it was a deliberate act

:01:56. > :01:59.There is no evidence at this point of a terror

:02:00. > :02:07.It's something we'll be investigating very carefully,

:02:08. > :02:13.but there is no evidence at this point of a terror connection.

:02:14. > :02:19.Just a few streets away another alert. A suspicious panel thought to

:02:20. > :02:26.be a pressure cooker, wiring and a mobile phone. In the early hours it

:02:27. > :02:31.was driven away by a bomb disposal team. They've ruled out a link to a

:02:32. > :02:36.pipe bomb yesterday morning in New Jersey but these incidents have

:02:37. > :02:40.caused concern for those after America's top job. We are doing

:02:41. > :02:44.everything we can to help our first responders and to pray for the

:02:45. > :02:48.victims. We have to let this investigation unfold. A bomb went

:02:49. > :02:56.off in New York and nobody knows exactly what's going on, but boy we

:02:57. > :02:58.are living in a time, we had better get very tough, folks, very, very

:02:59. > :03:00.tough. September's always a nervous time

:03:01. > :03:09.in New York. Last week there were events to mark

:03:10. > :03:11.9/11. Tomorrow leaders arrive for the United Nations General Assembly.

:03:12. > :03:14.Once again this is a city on edge. Here, the former Labour Leader,

:03:15. > :03:17.Lord Kinnock, has given his bleakest warning yet about the future

:03:18. > :03:20.of the party if Jeremy Corbyn wins Speaking to John Pienaar

:03:21. > :03:23.on the BBC's Panorama programme, he said he would not expect to see

:03:24. > :03:25.another Labour Government This is the greatest crisis

:03:26. > :03:33.that the Labour Party has faced. You believe you may not see another

:03:34. > :03:35.Labour Government I'm 74, and unless things change

:03:36. > :03:43.radically and rapidly, it is very doubtful that I will see

:03:44. > :03:47.another Labour Government With me now is our political

:03:48. > :03:54.correspondent, Alan Soady. Alan, Lord Kinnock couldn't

:03:55. > :04:02.be much clearer there. I think the sign of the despair felt

:04:03. > :04:05.by many within the Labour Party, particularly at Westminster, who

:04:06. > :04:09.don't feel that Jeremy Corbyn has what it takes to lead the party,

:04:10. > :04:13.they certainly don't think he has what it takes to get the party back

:04:14. > :04:17.into power, and yet if as expected he wins the leadership election when

:04:18. > :04:21.the result is announced next Saturday, they will have failed in

:04:22. > :04:25.the best way they could think of to try to get rid of him. In launching

:04:26. > :04:29.that attempt to get rid of him in the first place and losing, they

:04:30. > :04:34.will potentially in a sense have strengthened his position. And so

:04:35. > :04:38.the next battle lines open over who would then be in his top team, his

:04:39. > :04:40.Shadow Cabinet. Some of Jeremy Corbyn's opponents within the party

:04:41. > :04:45.are saying that the Shadow Cabinet should be elected by Labour MPs.

:04:46. > :04:49.They are mainly anti-Corbyn. Team Corbyn say they are open to the idea

:04:50. > :04:54.of Shadow Cabinet elections, but what about including the party

:04:55. > :04:56.membership? That will be the party membership that's rather more

:04:57. > :05:01.sympathetic to Jeremy Corbyn than the party's MPs. It might sound

:05:02. > :05:03.complicated and technical, but it is the latest battle for the control of

:05:04. > :05:06.the Labour Party. Alan, thank you. And you can see that

:05:07. > :05:08.Panorama programme - "Labour: Is the Party Over?"

:05:09. > :05:10.in full, tomorrow night The White House has expressed regret

:05:11. > :05:17.for a coalition air strike in Syria which Russia says killed dozens

:05:18. > :05:21.of President Assad's troops. The US said it believed

:05:22. > :05:23.it had been attacking The Russians demanded

:05:24. > :05:27.an emergency meeting Our correspondent,

:05:28. > :05:32.Daniela Relph, reports. It is a ceasefire that is close

:05:33. > :05:37.to collapse, designed to stop this kind of fighting and destruction,

:05:38. > :05:42.but now looking extremely fragile. The United States has

:05:43. > :05:46.admitted its planes carried out an attack which killed 62 Syrian

:05:47. > :05:50.troops near the town of Deir ez-Zor, and has expressed regret

:05:51. > :05:55.for the unintentional loss of life. For the Russians, though,

:05:56. > :05:58.this explanation isn't enough. They've described the US action

:05:59. > :06:03.as close to criminal negligence. It is quite significant and frankly

:06:04. > :06:07.suspicious that the United States chose to conduct this particular air

:06:08. > :06:11.strike at this time. Why would all of a sudden

:06:12. > :06:14.the United States choose to help the Syrian armed forces

:06:15. > :06:19.defending Deir ez-Zor? Russia called an emergency meeting

:06:20. > :06:22.of the UN Security Council. This was dismissed by

:06:23. > :06:26.the Americans as a stunt. Russia really needs to stop

:06:27. > :06:31.the cheap point scoring and the grandstanding and the stunts

:06:32. > :06:35.and focus on what matters, which is implementation of something

:06:36. > :06:40.that we negotiated in Last night's meeting

:06:41. > :06:47.ended with no statement, in itself a sign of the obvious

:06:48. > :06:49.tension and mistrust But the Russian Foreign Ministry

:06:50. > :06:55.says the US air strike now threatens Tributes have been paid

:06:56. > :07:06.to the Iranian competitor who died after crashing on the Paralympic

:07:07. > :07:09.cycling course in Rio. The organisers said it had cast

:07:10. > :07:12.a shadow over the Games. It's the first death in competition

:07:13. > :07:15.at an Olympics or Paralympics The death of Bahman Golbarnezhad

:07:16. > :07:24.on the last day of full competition in Rio has shocked everyone,

:07:25. > :07:27.in what had been widely regarded as a successful

:07:28. > :07:31.and relatively trouble-free Games. He's understood to have crashed

:07:32. > :07:35.into a ditch at the side of the road on a mountainous stretch

:07:36. > :07:38.of the C4 Paralympic road race, Golbarnezhad was treated

:07:39. > :07:43.at the scene and taken to hospital, but he was

:07:44. > :07:47.pronounced dead on arrival. Britain's record-breaking

:07:48. > :07:50.paracyclist, Dame Sarah Storey, was among the first to respond

:07:51. > :07:53.to the tragedy, reflecting the widespread shock

:07:54. > :07:57.among athletes in Rio. Absolutely devastated to hear

:07:58. > :08:00.of a colleague who hasn't made it Everyone expects to come

:08:01. > :08:06.home from a Games. It's no real condolence that he died

:08:07. > :08:09.doing something he loved. Iran's Paralympic Committee

:08:10. > :08:15.described Golbarnezhad as an exemplary sportsman

:08:16. > :08:18.who did his best to promote It's understood the 48-year-old,

:08:19. > :08:21.who also represented Iran at the London Games in 2012,

:08:22. > :08:26.took up cycling after losing his leg in a land mine explosion

:08:27. > :08:32.during the Iran-Iraq war. This is the first in-competition

:08:33. > :08:35.death at a Paralympic or Olympic Games since 1960,

:08:36. > :08:39.and with Iranian flags flying at half-mast in the athletes'

:08:40. > :08:43.village, there will also be further tributes to the life and death

:08:44. > :08:46.of Bahman Golbarnezhad Paralympics GB has enjoyed more

:08:47. > :08:56.success on the last full day The team picked up

:08:57. > :09:01.another six golds, consolidating its second place

:09:02. > :09:04.in the medals table. In the pool, Hannah Russell

:09:05. > :09:06.won her second gold of the Games in the women's

:09:07. > :09:09.S12 50 metre freestyle. While 13-year-old team-mate

:09:10. > :09:12.Abby Kane set a Paralympic record in the S13 100 metre

:09:13. > :09:16.backstroke, taking silver. And there was a clean

:09:17. > :09:19.sweep of archery medals, with Paralympics GB taking gold,

:09:20. > :09:22.silver and bronze, with 16-year-old You can see more on all of today's

:09:23. > :09:30.stories on the BBC News Channel. The next news on BBC One is

:09:31. > :09:52.at 6.35pm. Hello. This week is likely to be a

:09:53. > :09:56.story of failed ambition as far as the weather's concerned. Out in the

:09:57. > :10:00.Atlantic young storms will be born, bursting full of energy, racing

:10:01. > :10:05.towards the UK with intent of bringing gales and heavy rain our

:10:06. > :10:08.way. But at the last minute rushing away towards the north, being

:10:09. > :10:13.deflected as if by an invisible force field. Any weather front that

:10:14. > :10:14.make it through fairly weak and feeble. The reason for those
