Heightened security in New York after a bomb | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
The motive is still unknown but the city authorities say | :00:00. | :00:11. | |
All the casualties have now been released from hospital. | :00:12. | :00:17. | |
This is a very serious incident, it's going to take a lot of careful | :00:18. | :00:21. | |
investigation to get to the facts, to get to the truth. | :00:22. | :00:25. | |
There's no evidence of links to international terrorism - | :00:26. | :00:28. | |
but with world leaders heading to New York for the UN | :00:29. | :00:31. | |
General Assembly, hundreds more police will be | :00:32. | :00:32. | |

propaganda leaflets, promising that victory lies ahead | :00:48. | :00:49. | |

Security across New York City has been stepped up, | :01:07. | :01:30. | |
with more police deployed to airports and the transport | :01:31. | :01:36. | |
network after last night's bomb attack in Manhattan. | :01:37. | :01:38. | |
29 people were injured in the explosion - | :01:39. | :01:41. | |
The Governor of New York says the blast was, by its own nature, | :01:42. | :01:48. | |
an act of terrorism, but the authorities have found no | :01:49. | :01:50. | |
links to international groups and are as yet unclear | :01:51. | :01:52. | |
The bomb was detonated in the early hours of this morning | :01:53. | :01:56. | |
in the residential district of Chelsea. | :01:57. | :01:58. | |
Our New York correspondent Nick Bryant has this report. | :01:59. | :02:04. | |
These are the sort of scenes that New Yorkers have dreaded for years. | :02:05. | :02:12. | |
The frightened aftermath of an explosion in the heart of Manhattan. | :02:13. | :02:18. | |
This was the moment the bomb went off. | :02:19. | :02:21. | |
A fireball that came with an incredibly loud bang. | :02:22. | :02:24. | |
The aim clearly was to maximise casualties. | :02:25. | :02:32. | |
It was close and people were running for their lives. | :02:33. | :02:42. | |
I turned round and I saw smoke shooting up over | :02:43. | :02:50. | |
The blast ripped through Chelsea, a fashionable neighbourhood | :02:51. | :02:56. | |
where the bars and restaurants are always crowded at the weekend. | :02:57. | :03:00. | |
The police released a photo of a mangled container, the possible | :03:01. | :03:08. | |
Into the New York night rushed the emergency services | :03:09. | :03:11. | |
Dozens were injured, though none sustained | :03:12. | :03:15. | |
As forensics teams began to comb the scene for clues, | :03:16. | :03:22. | |
reports started to come through that a second device had been found | :03:23. | :03:25. | |
Well, we're just approaching one o'clock in the morning | :03:26. | :03:31. | |
and the police have just issued an emergency alert saying | :03:32. | :03:33. | |
that there is a suspicious package a couple of streets away | :03:34. | :03:37. | |
and they are telling people to stay away from their windows. | :03:38. | :03:43. | |
A pressure cooker with wires and a mobile phone attached. | :03:44. | :03:48. | |
Similar to the home-made bombs left at the finish line | :03:49. | :03:50. | |
at the Boston Marathon three years ago. | :03:51. | :03:53. | |
The device was taken away by the bomb unit in a specially | :03:54. | :03:56. | |
designed trailer so that robots could examine it. | :03:57. | :04:00. | |
The New York authorities are saying that at this stage there is no | :04:01. | :04:04. | |
evidence of a connection with international terrorism | :04:05. | :04:07. | |
but the investigation is still in an early phase. | :04:08. | :04:10. | |
We know there was a bombing but we have a lot more work to do | :04:11. | :04:13. | |
to be able to say what kind of motivation was behind this. | :04:14. | :04:18. | |
Was it a political motivation, personal motivation? | :04:19. | :04:19. | |
But last night's bombing has been described as an act of terrorism | :04:20. | :04:26. | |
A bomb exploding in New York is obviously an act of terrorism. | :04:27. | :04:36. | |
But it is not linked to international terrorism. | :04:37. | :04:41. | |
In other words, we find no Isis connection, etc. | :04:42. | :04:44. | |
An extra thousand police officers are now protecting the city - | :04:45. | :04:47. | |
a high visibility presence at tourist sites like Times Square. | :04:48. | :04:52. | |
September is always a time of heightened security | :04:53. | :04:54. | |
Only last week New York remembered the most dramatic | :04:55. | :04:58. | |
day in its history - 9/11. | :04:59. | :05:01. | |
This week, world leaders gather here for the United | :05:02. | :05:03. | |
The police say that no group or individual has claimed | :05:04. | :05:19. | |
responsibility and that is significant because in Minnesota | :05:20. | :05:23. | |
last night in the midwest and man went on and knifing spree, my think | :05:24. | :05:27. | |
eight people at a shopping centre before being shot dead by police and | :05:28. | :05:32. | |
today, the group calling itself Islamic State has claimed | :05:33. | :05:35. | |
responsibility for that attack, saying that was one of their | :05:36. | :05:38. | |
supporters and they have not made such a claim for this New York | :05:39. | :05:42. | |
bombing and as yet authorities are not giving any indication as to what | :05:43. | :05:46. | |
the possible motivation might have been. Thank you. Nick Bryant in New | :05:47. | :05:48. | |
York. Six days after the start | :05:49. | :05:50. | |
of a fragile truce in Syria, air strikes are reported to have | :05:51. | :05:53. | |
targeted anti-government The deal agreed by the United States | :05:54. | :05:55. | |
and Russia is also being threatened by tensions over a US-backed strike | :05:56. | :05:59. | |
that killed more than 60 Washington says it regrets | :06:00. | :06:02. | |
the 'unintentional loss of life' and the incident has led | :06:03. | :06:06. | |
to an astonishing war of words between diplomats | :06:07. | :06:09. | |
at the United Nations. Our diplomatic correspondent | :06:10. | :06:13. | |
James Robbins reports from there. A fragile ceasefire now | :06:14. | :06:18. | |
looks all but smashed. Under its terms, Syrian government | :06:19. | :06:22. | |
forces are permitted to attack jihadists, | :06:23. | :06:25. | |
including so-called Islamic State. The Syrians were not expecting | :06:26. | :06:30. | |
the United States, also targeting IS, to bomb their ground forces | :06:31. | :06:33. | |
by accident instead. Russia says American warplanes | :06:34. | :06:39. | |
killed at least 60 Syrian soldiers. Washington expressed regret | :06:40. | :06:43. | |
and called it unintentional The Syrian government called it | :06:44. | :06:45. | |
deliberate and the war of words Russia called for an emergency | :06:46. | :06:53. | |
session of the Security Council, even accusing the United States | :06:54. | :06:57. | |
of colluding with jihadists. It is quite significant and frankly | :06:58. | :07:01. | |
suspicious that the United States chose to conduct this particular air | :07:02. | :07:04. | |
strike at this time. Why, all of a sudden, | :07:05. | :07:08. | |
would the United States choose Russia really needs to stop | :07:09. | :07:10. | |
the cheap point-scoring and the grandstanding and the stunts | :07:11. | :07:17. | |
and focus on what matters, which is implementation | :07:18. | :07:21. | |
of something that we negotiated That ceasefire deal agreed | :07:22. | :07:24. | |
by the US and Russia went It was meant to stop air strikes | :07:25. | :07:35. | |
by President Assad's Russian-backed It should be leading to co-ordinated | :07:36. | :07:41. | |
air strikes by the US and Russia against UN-designated terrorists, | :07:42. | :07:48. | |
including so-called Islamic State. The United States and Russia have | :07:49. | :07:53. | |
been trading insults here at the UN for decades but the timing of this | :07:54. | :07:56. | |
breakdown could hardly be worse. Just as President Obama and other | :07:57. | :08:00. | |
world leaders start to gather here for their annual | :08:01. | :08:03. | |
September Global Summit. So no relief for the people | :08:04. | :08:07. | |
of Aleppo, now reported to be under Syrian air attack for the first time | :08:08. | :08:11. | |
since the ceasefire. They were meant to benefit | :08:12. | :08:15. | |
but all that depended on growing trust, particularly | :08:16. | :08:18. | |
between the US and Russia, And there seems to be even | :08:19. | :08:21. | |
less of that trust now. James Robbins, BBC News, | :08:22. | :08:28. | |
at the United Nations in New York. Meanwhile, the fight to free Iraq's | :08:29. | :08:31. | |
second largest city from so-called Islamic State will begin | :08:32. | :08:34. | |
within the month, according to Major General Rupert Jones, | :08:35. | :08:36. | |
the senior British officer there. Mosul has been in the hands | :08:37. | :08:41. | |
of IS for the last two years and our Middle East correspondent | :08:42. | :08:46. | |
Quentin Sommerville has been witnessing final preparations | :08:47. | :08:49. | |
for the assault on it. The final countdown for the battle | :08:50. | :08:53. | |
of Mosul is underway. And at Baghdad Airport, the Iraqi | :08:54. | :09:00. | |
Air Force are on a mission. Their target is Mosul, | :09:01. | :09:07. | |
but this isn't a bombing run. The captain and his crew have flown | :09:08. | :09:09. | |
this mission more than Our mission is going to be | :09:10. | :09:12. | |
delivering some leaflets, supporting our guys | :09:13. | :09:15. | |
on the ground over in Mosul. And telling the guys, | :09:16. | :09:17. | |
telling the good people over And that's the message | :09:18. | :09:20. | |
being dropped from 17,000 feet. Even if it doesn't always | :09:21. | :09:31. | |
hit its mark. In the last half-hour they have been | :09:32. | :09:36. | |
air-dropping millions of these propaganda leaflets, | :09:37. | :09:38. | |
promising that victory lies ahead What is certain, though, | :09:39. | :09:40. | |
is the biggest battle yet with the Islamic State is coming | :09:41. | :09:48. | |
and it's coming soon. The scale of the task | :09:49. | :09:53. | |
shines brightly below. Mosul, the so-called | :09:54. | :09:56. | |
Islamic State's Iraqi stronghold, It is two years since IS swept | :09:57. | :09:59. | |
across Syria and Iraq, That brought back British soldiers, | :10:00. | :10:08. | |
who are helping get ready Major General Rupert Jones says | :10:09. | :10:14. | |
Iraqi forces will make It's the really important battle, | :10:15. | :10:22. | |
it is the capital of their so-called caliphate in Iraq and Daesh have | :10:23. | :10:29. | |
proved themselves an So the big question is how | :10:30. | :10:31. | |
they adapt as they are squeezed out British and American troops | :10:32. | :10:36. | |
are bringing firepower and training. But Iraqis will do the fighting | :10:37. | :10:46. | |
and they are on a winning streak. Two years ago it was | :10:47. | :10:52. | |
quite different. They dropped their weapons | :10:53. | :10:54. | |
and ran as IS advanced. But now, Falluja is the latest big | :10:55. | :10:57. | |
city to be cleared of the militants. This weekend, the first families | :10:58. | :11:04. | |
returned home here in years. Seven-year-old Hassan | :11:05. | :11:09. | |
is one of them. For the Hamid family, | :11:10. | :11:15. | |
it is the first time in their house Thank God they didn't get in here, | :11:16. | :11:17. | |
he tells me. Everything looks like it is here | :11:18. | :11:24. | |
but it is covered in dirt. But Falluja fell early | :11:25. | :11:30. | |
and the family fled in a rush. As bad as things were for people | :11:31. | :11:35. | |
in Falluja, Mosul is more There, people are being encouraged | :11:36. | :11:44. | |
to stay in their homes Here, American artillery men | :11:45. | :11:52. | |
are targeting IS bunkers. Taking Mosul was the moment that | :11:53. | :12:01. | |
made the Islamic State. Losing it would be | :12:02. | :12:12. | |
the beginning of its undoing. Quentin Somerville, | :12:13. | :12:14. | |
BBC News, Falluja. Jeremy Corbyn has said he'd | :12:15. | :12:22. | |
like to give ordinary party members 'greater representation', | :12:23. | :12:24. | |
if he wins his party's It's understood he's | :12:25. | :12:26. | |
considering giving grassroots members a role in choosing | :12:27. | :12:30. | |
the Shadow Cabinet. With the contest in its final days, | :12:31. | :12:33. | |
Labour's former leader Lord Kinnock has told the BBC that if Mr Corbyn | :12:34. | :12:38. | |
is re-elected, he doesn't think he'll see another Labour | :12:39. | :12:41. | |
government in his lifetime. Our deputy political editor | :12:42. | :12:43. | |
John Pienaar reports. He doesn't look too | :12:44. | :12:48. | |
worried, does he? Jeremy Corbyn learns for sure | :12:49. | :12:49. | |
whether he has been re-elected Urged on by the devoted army | :12:50. | :12:55. | |
of left-wing followers who have packed into campaign rally | :12:56. | :13:03. | |
after campaign rally. Unite people together, | :13:04. | :13:06. | |
united we are strong. United as a party we go forward | :13:07. | :13:08. | |
to create a decent, better society. Mr Corbyn looks unstoppable, | :13:09. | :13:12. | |
but can Labour reunite? End the civil war that has | :13:13. | :13:20. | |
paralysed the party? Owen Smith calling from the Labour | :13:21. | :13:24. | |
Party. Owen Smith launched his | :13:25. | :13:27. | |
leadership challenge, warning Jeremy Corbyn was too | :13:28. | :13:29. | |
divisive, too left-wing, too incompetent to lead Labour, | :13:30. | :13:33. | |
let alone win an election. To a former leader it is worse | :13:34. | :13:37. | |
than the 1980s, when Neil Kinnock fought hard-left infiltrators | :13:38. | :13:41. | |
and faction fighting By any examination, this | :13:42. | :13:43. | |
is the greatest crisis You believe you may not see another | :13:44. | :13:48. | |
Labour government in And unless things change | :13:49. | :13:56. | |
radically and rapidly, it is very doubtful that | :13:57. | :14:04. | |
I will see another Labour Here in Brighton, the local Labour | :14:05. | :14:08. | |
MP Peter Kyle is a critic of Mr Corbyn and local left-wing | :14:09. | :14:16. | |
activists want him I think we're standing absolutely | :14:17. | :14:18. | |
at the edge of a cliff and it might well be that one or other | :14:19. | :14:24. | |
of the factions or both of us end up Left-wingers in the town | :14:25. | :14:28. | |
are campaigning hard for Jeremy Corbyn but, | :14:29. | :14:33. | |
as in other parts of the country, there are fears some have | :14:34. | :14:37. | |
infiltrated the party to take control and push Labour further | :14:38. | :14:39. | |
to the left. The local party chairman faces | :14:40. | :14:41. | |
the threat of expulsion. He is under investigation for links | :14:42. | :14:47. | |
to a controversial far-left group. I think the Labour Party is a place | :14:48. | :14:51. | |
where my politics will be most effective, it is a place | :14:52. | :14:58. | |
where my politics have a history. I don't think you should ban people | :14:59. | :15:00. | |
because you don't like their ideas. The leader's inner circle want | :15:01. | :15:04. | |
loyalty from Labour MPs, And as an olive branch, | :15:05. | :15:06. | |
there is this extraordinary promise that Mr Corbyn will try | :15:07. | :15:12. | |
to polish up his act. We have all got to raise the level | :15:13. | :15:15. | |
of our game, we have And I am being extremely honest | :15:16. | :15:18. | |
but I've had enough of politicians who think they are God's gift | :15:19. | :15:22. | |
to politics and the earth, etc. We have made mistakes, | :15:23. | :15:25. | |
like everybody else. We are willing to learn the lessons | :15:26. | :15:28. | |
from our own Parliamentary Labour Party, particularly members who have | :15:29. | :15:31. | |
been in this position before us. There is no sign that Labour can | :15:32. | :15:34. | |
unite here, locally or nationally. And without unity, without reaching | :15:35. | :15:42. | |
the millions of voters the polls say have turned away, the party | :15:43. | :15:45. | |
is facing a dark future. Broken as a force in | :15:46. | :15:48. | |
British politics. And you can hear more on Panorama | :15:49. | :15:49. | |
tomorrow night at 8.30pm on BBC One. India has accused Pakistan of being | :15:50. | :16:07. | |
behind... India has accused Pakistan | :16:08. | :16:12. | |
of being behind a deadly attack on an army base | :16:13. | :16:14. | |
in the Indian-controlled Kashmir. 17 soldiers died when gunmen stormed | :16:15. | :16:16. | |
a brigade headquarters in the early The attack came in the midst of the | :16:17. | :16:22. | |
largest protest against Indian rule in years. | :16:23. | :16:24. | |
Early results in Russian parliamentary elections | :16:25. | :16:26. | |
are pointing to victory for Vladimir Putin's ruling party. | :16:27. | :16:28. | |
Exit polls suggest United Russia is on course to win an absolute | :16:29. | :16:31. | |
majority in the Duma, or lower house. | :16:32. | :16:34. | |
But there have been reports of violations in voting | :16:35. | :16:36. | |
What has President Putin said about this outcome? Bannerette Putin says | :16:37. | :16:55. | |
this is a good result for his party in difficult times. Election | :16:56. | :16:59. | |
officials say this is a valid result and one of the cleanest elections in | :17:00. | :17:03. | |
Russia for years, they point to the fact that many polling stations were | :17:04. | :17:07. | |
equipped with webcam is pointing directly at the ballot boxes so that | :17:08. | :17:11. | |
Russians can follow the voting online and in real-time. Yet, some | :17:12. | :17:16. | |
of those webcams have captured what appear to be blatant violations, | :17:17. | :17:20. | |
including cases of election officials getting up and walking to | :17:21. | :17:21. | |
the ballot boxes and stuffing those boxes with ballot papers. Tonight, | :17:22. | :17:42. | |
Russian police are investigating some of those cases. Five years ago | :17:43. | :17:44. | |
it was vote rigging which sparked anti-government protests, that Putin | :17:45. | :17:46. | |
will hope that this time, his popularity and general apathy will | :17:47. | :17:48. | |
mean that Russians will accept the result. Steve Rosenberg, thank you. | :17:49. | :17:50. | |
Great Britain have lost their defence of tennis's Davis Cup. | :17:51. | :17:52. | |
They were beaten 3 matches to 2 by Argentina in the | :17:53. | :17:55. | |
Andy Murray had earlier battled through injury to beat Guido Pelle | :17:56. | :17:59. | |
But despite a good start in the deciding match, | :18:00. | :18:02. | |
Dan Evans lost to Leonardo Mayer 3 sets to 1 to mean Argentina face | :18:03. | :18:05. | |
Britain's Paralympians have been been celebrating | :18:06. | :18:11. | |
their best ever Games for nearly three decades on the final day of | :18:12. | :18:14. | |
Para GB finished up 2nd in the medals table, | :18:15. | :18:20. | |
Andy Swiss joins us from the Paralympic Park. | :18:21. | :18:35. | |
Well come to Rio, it has been some Paralympic Games for the British | :18:36. | :18:44. | |
team, the target was to beat the 120 medals at London 2012 and they have | :18:45. | :18:48. | |
done that in some style. Amid the celebrations, this was a day that | :18:49. | :18:54. | |
began on a very sombre note. As a phantom ride for the final day, the | :18:55. | :18:59. | |
Paralympic flag and the Iranian flag where both flying at half-mast. The | :19:00. | :19:05. | |
tribute the cyclist who died in a crash in yesterday's Road race. The | :19:06. | :19:10. | |
tragedy cut a shadow over the remaining events, including the | :19:11. | :19:13. | |
men's wheelchair marathon, where there was more frustration for David | :19:14. | :19:17. | |
Weir, in the black helmet at the back, this incident left him with a | :19:18. | :19:20. | |
damaged chair and he leaves Rio without a medal. Such disappointment | :19:21. | :19:25. | |
has been referenced and, in the final swimming event there was a | :19:26. | :19:30. | |
third gold medal for Bethany Firth. And a silver for the 13-year-old | :19:31. | :19:34. | |
Abby Kane, the youngest member of the team. They will be led into the | :19:35. | :19:39. | |
closing ceremony tonight by the flagbearer, Kadeena Cox, who won | :19:40. | :19:41. | |
titles in both cycling and athletics. I was so overwhelmed, it | :19:42. | :19:47. | |
has been such an amazing team and there have been some in the amazing | :19:48. | :19:51. | |
performances. To be selected to represent them, it is just an | :19:52. | :19:55. | |
honour, I cannot even put in towards how that may be filled. And so for | :19:56. | :20:00. | |
Britain's massive medallists, a final chance to signings and | :20:01. | :20:05. | |
selfies. A picture perfect end... To the golden games. | :20:06. | :20:11. | |
It has been some Paralympic Games for Britain but what about Brazil? | :20:12. | :20:18. | |
Has hosting changed how disability is perceived here and has changed | :20:19. | :20:24. | |
the daily lives of disabled people? Nikki Fox reports on the legacy of | :20:25. | :20:25. | |
the games. Carlos is a tour guide | :20:26. | :20:27. | |
who lives in Rio. Today, he is going to try | :20:28. | :20:31. | |
and get me to the top of his city, but | :20:32. | :20:33. | |
it doesn't look easy. I last saw Carlos | :20:34. | :20:37. | |
one year before the But I'm happy, because with this | :20:38. | :20:44. | |
Paralympic Games, I think the people The people of Brazil have | :20:45. | :20:55. | |
well and truly taken to Over two million tickets | :20:56. | :21:00. | |
were sold, making it the most successful Games | :21:01. | :21:06. | |
outside of London. For Paralympics GB, they have had | :21:07. | :21:11. | |
a record-breaking ten days, but The Paralympic movement | :21:12. | :21:14. | |
is growing and I think people are starting | :21:15. | :21:17. | |
to understand it's not really about disability at all, | :21:18. | :21:19. | |
it is about athletes who happen I'm incredibly proud to be part | :21:20. | :21:21. | |
of something that is so enormous. But as the competition comes | :21:22. | :21:27. | |
to an end, thoughts turn to legacy. Can the achievements of elite | :21:28. | :21:31. | |
athletes have an impact on the The number one legacy | :21:32. | :21:34. | |
is the change of attitude. And I think we're doing that | :21:35. | :21:43. | |
through sport, but we cannot rely Paralympics and say, oh, | :21:44. | :21:45. | |
the Games were really a success and the society | :21:46. | :21:52. | |
will But one small change | :21:53. | :21:53. | |
is the addition of an However, in a city where only | :21:54. | :21:57. | |
22 out of 102 train stations are fully accessible, | :21:58. | :22:01. | |
it's still a difficult place to There was never any doubt Rio's | :22:02. | :22:04. | |
backdrop would be sensational, but there was doubt over | :22:05. | :22:11. | |
whether the City could hold such We have come here to see | :22:12. | :22:14. | |
the wonderful view. But for Carlos, it was | :22:15. | :22:18. | |
the right decision. Paralympic is very important | :22:19. | :22:20. | |
to show how difficult is Sometimes you get tired, | :22:21. | :22:25. | |
because you fight, fight, fight, The main legacy was this | :22:26. | :22:30. | |
hope that we have now. It has been a challenging Games for | :22:31. | :22:53. | |
Brazil, it is easy to forget that one month ago there were such | :22:54. | :22:57. | |
concerns over ticketing and financed but against the odds, these Games | :22:58. | :23:01. | |
will be regarded as a success by both the organisers and, of course, | :23:02. | :23:05. | |
the British team. Andy Swiss, thank you. | :23:06. | :23:07. | |
