0:00:09 > 0:00:13The UN Security Council unanimously approved a resolution demanding a 30
0:00:13 > 0:00:16day ceasefire in Syria.
0:00:16 > 0:00:19It follows a week of intense bombardment of rebel held eastern
0:00:19 > 0:00:21Ghouta by government forces - activists say hundreds
0:00:21 > 0:00:24have been killed.
0:00:24 > 0:00:27The vote, to allow for aid deliveries, was repeatedly delayed -
0:00:27 > 0:00:34Syria's ally Russia was accused of stalling for time.
0:00:34 > 0:00:38In the three days it took us to adopt this resolution, how many
0:00:38 > 0:00:42mothers lost their kids to the bombing and shelling? How many more
0:00:42 > 0:00:47images did we need to see of fathers holding their dead children?
0:00:47 > 0:00:49We'll have the latest live from the UN.
0:00:49 > 0:00:51Also tonight:

0:01:35 > 0:01:38Good evening.
0:01:38 > 0:01:40After days of deadlock, the UN Security Council has
0:01:40 > 0:01:47unanimously voted for an immediate 30-day ceasefire across Syria.
0:01:47 > 0:01:50It's hoped the truce will allow aid to reach areas including
0:01:50 > 0:01:52rebel-held eastern Ghouta, where more than 500 civilians
0:01:52 > 0:01:54are said to have been killed in government air strikes
0:01:54 > 0:01:57in the past week.
0:01:57 > 0:02:00The vote had been delayed repeatedly to avoid drawing a veto from Russia,

0:02:03 > 0:02:11Nick Bryant reports.
0:02:11 > 0:02:17The people of eastern Ghouta woke up this morning to continued aerial
0:02:17 > 0:02:22bombardment and the news from New York that the Security
0:02:22 > 0:02:24Council remained deadlocked.
0:02:24 > 0:02:27And still couldn't reach agreement on how to bring about even
0:02:27 > 0:02:28a temporary halt to the killing.
0:02:28 > 0:02:31Delay in Syria always brings more death.
0:02:31 > 0:02:33At least 120 children have been killed since Sunday according
0:02:33 > 0:02:39to human rights activists.
0:02:39 > 0:02:41Hospitals overwhelmed by the number of casualties have been targets
0:02:41 > 0:02:45of the government's bombing.
0:02:45 > 0:02:47On the fringes of the Security Council,
0:02:47 > 0:02:50the tensest of negotiations.
0:02:50 > 0:02:53But always a sense of urgency from the backers of this resolution
0:02:53 > 0:02:58and always the unresolved question, would Russia allow it to pass?
0:02:58 > 0:03:01I would call upon those who are in favour of the draft
0:03:01 > 0:03:08resolution to raise their hand.
0:03:08 > 0:03:11When it came to a vote the Russian ambassador held his arm
0:03:11 > 0:03:13aloft not to wield a veto but to finally agree.
0:03:13 > 0:03:14Yet Western diplomats still attacked Moscow
0:03:14 > 0:03:17for delaying its passage for days.
0:03:17 > 0:03:19As they dragged out the negotiation, the bombs from Assad's fighter
0:03:19 > 0:03:21jets continued to fall.
0:03:21 > 0:03:25In the three days it took us to adopt this resolution,
0:03:25 > 0:03:30how many mothers lost their kids to the bombing and the shelling?
0:03:30 > 0:03:34While we've been arguing over commas, Assad's planes have been
0:03:34 > 0:03:35killing more civilians in their homes and
0:03:35 > 0:03:37in their hospitals.
0:03:37 > 0:03:42Imposing unbearable suffering.
0:03:42 > 0:03:46The Russian ambassador was pessimistic about the chances
0:03:46 > 0:03:48of the ceasefire, saying there weren't concrete guarantees
0:03:48 > 0:03:55from warring parties to abide by.
0:03:55 > 0:03:58This resolution brings the hope, at least, that aid convoys will soon
0:03:58 > 0:04:00be driving through the streets and medical evacuations
0:04:00 > 0:04:02can finally take place.
0:04:02 > 0:04:04But even after the Security Council agreed its passage, reports came
0:04:04 > 0:04:06from eastern Ghouta that government warplanes were continuing
0:04:06 > 0:04:10their week-long bombardment.
0:04:10 > 0:04:18Let's speak to Nick in New York.
0:04:18 > 0:04:22Even getting this far has been tricky, Nick. Implementing this far
0:04:22 > 0:04:29harder potentially.It is, ceasefire is turned to unravel very quickly.
0:04:29 > 0:04:31The Russian ambassador very pessimistic even that this truce
0:04:31 > 0:04:35would come into effect. Even some Western diplomats are saying tonight
0:04:35 > 0:04:39that they think the Syrian regime will ignore a lot of this
0:04:39 > 0:04:43resolution. There is no enforcement mechanism, no penalties to make sure
0:04:43 > 0:04:49they abide by its terms. This does create this problem of
0:04:49 > 0:04:53implementation. But the feeling here is even a week resolution is better
0:04:53 > 0:04:57than no resolution. Russia didn't wield its veto, it's done at 11
0:04:57 > 0:05:02times over Syria. There is this small glimmer of hope that they can
0:05:02 > 0:05:05get some humanitarian aid into eastern Ghouta and get some of those
0:05:05 > 0:05:11medical casualties out.Nick Bryant in New York.
0:05:11 > 0:05:14Two people have appeared in court charged with causing the death
0:05:14 > 0:05:16of two young brothers by dangerous driving.
0:05:16 > 0:05:18Corey and Casper Platt-May, who were six and two,

0:06:15 > 0:06:17She was a bit tired when we got to Turkey,

0:06:21 > 0:06:22This is Honey.
0:06:22 > 0:06:23She's my baby sister.
0:06:23 > 0:06:27This is one of those key moments in life.
0:06:27 > 0:06:30Just as loved was Honey in hit romcom Notting Hill.

0:06:50 > 0:06:58The actress Emma Chambers, who has died at the age of 53.
0:06:58 > 0:07:00The Head of the International Committee of the Red Cross has said
0:07:00 > 0:07:03the recent revelations of sexual misconduct by aid agency workers
0:07:03 > 0:07:09is a watershed moment for the charity sector.
0:07:09 > 0:07:12Yves Daccord's comments came as he revealed that more than 20
0:07:12 > 0:07:14of his staff have been dismissed in the last three years
0:07:14 > 0:07:15for sexual misconduct.
0:07:15 > 0:07:21Our Diplomatic Correspondent, Caroline Hawley, reports.
0:07:21 > 0:07:23The Red Cross emblem is seen as a symbol
0:07:23 > 0:07:25of protection around the world.
0:07:25 > 0:07:26Like here in South Sudan.
0:07:26 > 0:07:31And most of the time it is.
0:07:31 > 0:07:34But the ICRC has now revealed behaviour it says was a betrayal
0:07:34 > 0:07:37of the people it was set up to serve.
0:07:37 > 0:07:39Since 2015, 21 members of staff either resigned or were dismissed
0:07:39 > 0:07:44for paying for sex.
0:07:44 > 0:07:52The head of the ICRC spoke of the silence around sexual
0:07:53 > 0:07:55misconduct being shattered and called this a watershed moment for
0:07:55 > 0:07:58the humanitarian sector as a whole. Yesterday, 22 British aid
0:07:58 > 0:08:01organisations came together to write a joint letter promising to root out
0:08:01 > 0:08:03staff who have abused their power, and saying they were truly sorry.
0:08:03 > 0:08:05Among them was Oxfam.
0:08:05 > 0:08:09Revelations about the behaviour of seven of its workers in Haiti put
0:08:09 > 0:08:12the whole aid sector under scrutiny with all aid agencies now under
0:08:12 > 0:08:17pressure for transparency, Plan International has just
0:08:17 > 0:08:19confirmed six cases of sexual abuse and exploitation of children.
0:08:19 > 0:08:22Organisations dedicated to saving and improving lives are now also
0:08:22 > 0:08:29trying to rescue reputations.
0:08:30 > 0:08:35It's clear that we have a particular challenge within the charity sector
0:08:35 > 0:08:38in that some people in some charities have been concerned that
0:08:38 > 0:08:40if they report this kind of behaviour it will harm the work
0:08:40 > 0:08:42that they so passionately believe in.
0:08:42 > 0:08:47And we've seen from the case of Oxfam that loss of public trust
0:08:47 > 0:08:50is hugely, hugely damaging.
0:08:50 > 0:08:52As aid agencies try to rebuild trust, the government has
0:08:52 > 0:08:55given them a deadline.
0:08:55 > 0:09:00192 British charities working abroad have until Monday to come
0:09:00 > 0:09:03clean on past allegations of sexual misconduct.
0:09:03 > 0:09:06They must also show what they're doing now to protect the people
0:09:06 > 0:09:07they help from future abuse.
0:09:07 > 0:09:15Caroline Hawley, BBC News.
0:09:19 > 0:09:21Scientists in the United States are developing wearable sensors
0:09:21 > 0:09:23to speed up the recovery of people who've had a stroke.
0:09:23 > 0:09:26The sensors are able to send information to doctors continuously,
0:09:26 > 0:09:27allowing them to monitor the effectiveness
0:09:27 > 0:09:28of their therapies.
0:09:28 > 0:09:30Wearable technology is now being developed
0:09:30 > 0:09:32by researchers around the world - as our Science Correspondent,
0:09:32 > 0:09:34Pallab Ghosh, reports from Austin, Texas.
0:09:34 > 0:09:35Technology you can wear.
0:09:35 > 0:09:37Skin displays developed by Japanese researchers that
0:09:37 > 0:09:40show your vital signs.
0:09:40 > 0:09:45It's to put on patients so that doctors can monitor their progress.
0:09:45 > 0:09:47The displays are among a new wave of wearable electronics finding
0:09:47 > 0:09:50medical applications.
0:09:50 > 0:09:53And we're going horizontal with this one, correct?
0:09:53 > 0:09:56In the US, Lizzie had a stroke two years ago.
0:09:56 > 0:10:01She couldn't move or speak or swallow for several weeks.
0:10:01 > 0:10:02Lizzie is testing out wearable sensors that
0:10:02 > 0:10:06might speed her recovery.
0:10:06 > 0:10:09They send information wirelessly to the medical team.
0:10:09 > 0:10:14She's a doctor and she can see how it would help her.
0:10:14 > 0:10:17This technology, to be able to put sensors on the body and really
0:10:17 > 0:10:24assess what muscle groups are working or not can really
0:10:24 > 0:10:26pinpoint the areas affected by the stroke and target therapies
0:10:26 > 0:10:32to specifically improve those issues.
0:10:32 > 0:10:35The doctors here can continuously monitor Lizzie wherever she goes
0:10:35 > 0:10:36using these devices.
0:10:36 > 0:10:40They can follow her muscle activity, her heart rate, even her speech.
0:10:40 > 0:10:43May I please have two tacos?
0:10:43 > 0:10:47Sure.
0:10:47 > 0:10:50The idea is they can closely track whether she is showing
0:10:50 > 0:10:53signs of improvement.
0:10:53 > 0:10:57Do we see that they're walking more at home or do we see that they're
0:10:57 > 0:11:00engaging in conversations?
0:11:00 > 0:11:03Those are the types of things I can get feedback from the sensors
0:11:03 > 0:11:05where currently I only have their report.
0:11:05 > 0:11:08The challenge for the scientist was to pack a lot of electronics
0:11:08 > 0:11:09into a small, flexible material.
0:11:09 > 0:11:14It's almost mechanically sort of imperceptible to the patient
0:11:14 > 0:11:16who's wearing the device.
0:11:16 > 0:11:18And you can embed all sorts of advanced sensor functionality,
0:11:18 > 0:11:20microprocessor computing capability, radios, power supplies, into this
0:11:20 > 0:11:22kind of very unusual platform.
0:11:22 > 0:11:24That is the uniqueness of what we do.
0:11:24 > 0:11:28Thursday, Friday...
0:11:28 > 0:11:31By the end of this year the team will have more information
0:11:31 > 0:11:35than anyone has ever had before about recovery from stroke.
0:11:35 > 0:11:37They believe that their study could transform the way patients
0:11:37 > 0:11:40are treated in the future.
0:11:40 > 0:11:47Pallab Ghosh, BBC News, Austin, Texas.

0:13:16 > 0:13:21one team left in the championship still unbeaten. Ireland remain top
0:13:21 > 0:13:25of the table with three winds out of three, though they tried to throw it
0:13:25 > 0:13:29away against Wales in Dublin. They came from behind to go 14 clear in
0:13:29 > 0:13:33the second half as they easily punched holes in the Welsh defence.
0:13:33 > 0:13:37Wales came back off the ropes and when Steff Evans's late try was
0:13:37 > 0:13:42converted there were just three points between them until they steal

0:14:05 > 0:14:07He's a former acrobat with a dodgy knee, but Billy Morgan
0:14:07 > 0:14:09was about to leap into history.
0:14:09 > 0:14:10Double grab...
0:14:10 > 0:14:15Yes, yes!
0:14:15 > 0:14:22At 28, Morgan is a snowboarding veteran.
0:14:22 > 0:14:24This, his last jump, but surely his last Olympics.
0:14:24 > 0:14:25What a way to finish.
0:14:25 > 0:14:26That is absolutely huge!
0:14:26 > 0:14:28It propelled Morgan into bronze medal position and one

0:14:47 > 0:14:48So happy days.
0:14:48 > 0:14:50And Morgan's joy was also Team GB's.

0:15:16 > 0:15:20It's not.
0:15:20 > 0:15:27Instead of knocking out Japan's stone she knocked out her own,
0:15:27 > 0:15:31handing her opponents the bronze and Britain a desperate defeat.
0:15:31 > 0:15:39For another woman, though, a day of extraordinary achievement.
0:15:39 > 0:15:42After winning gold on skis last weekend, it was gold on a snowboard
