:00:43. > :01:01.I'll show you that report in about 15 minutes.
:01:02. > :01:04.For the first time, Russia has begun using an air base in Iran to launch
:01:05. > :01:12.air strikes against jihadist groups in Syria.
:01:13. > :01:14.The defence ministry says Russian long-range bombers and fighter jets
:01:15. > :01:17.took off from the Hamedan base in western Iran.
:01:18. > :01:19.Until now, Moscow has been launching attacks from inside Syria.
:01:20. > :01:22.Russia and Iran have discussed boosting military co-operation
:01:23. > :01:25.I spoke with Olga Ivshina, from BBC Russian about the significance
:01:26. > :01:42.It is very significant for both sides and both sides presented at as
:01:43. > :01:47.diplomatic. As for the Russians, it eases the pressure on them
:01:48. > :01:52.significantly because before, these bases were based in Russian airbases
:01:53. > :01:55.and they had to travel more than 3000 kilometres to get to their
:01:56. > :02:04.target, now the only have two flight 700 kilometres. It means they can
:02:05. > :02:12.decrease the amount of rockets. Early, they needed more space for
:02:13. > :02:16.fuel. They can now take up to 20 kilograms of bombs. They say
:02:17. > :02:19.militants have already been killed but what is the Russian reaction to
:02:20. > :02:25.this? Do they agree with using a third place to launch air strikes
:02:26. > :02:32.from? Russian media is quite cautious. They first report they
:02:33. > :02:35.were citing Arab sources but then a official confirmation came and was
:02:36. > :02:45.presented as a diplomatic victory because we see Russian ties with
:02:46. > :02:48.Iran are strengthening and Russia opposes political isolation which
:02:49. > :02:57.was presented. It shows Russia is getting more and more allies during
:02:58. > :03:02.this fight. That is part of the conversations that are taking place,
:03:03. > :03:07.is Russia becoming more powerful with this conflict in Syria as it
:03:08. > :03:13.begins to align itself perhaps with not only President Assad of Syria
:03:14. > :03:17.but also with every knee and forces? Yes, absolutely and it is also a win
:03:18. > :03:23.win a game for Iran because if they have Russian bombers on their
:03:24. > :03:28.military bases, they have additional card in the game with Israel because
:03:29. > :03:33.now the balance of power has changed completely sober boss says it is an
:03:34. > :03:37.important step and also Vladimir Putin is using this to increase
:03:38. > :03:41.pressure on Western leaders because he's trying to reduce sanctions on

:04:59. > :04:59.and most importantly, uphold the values that
:05:00. > :05:05.For many years it's been clear that the detention facility
:05:06. > :05:08.at Guantanamo Bay does not advance our national security.
:05:09. > :05:16.The process of clearing detainees for release is glacial.
:05:17. > :05:19.It's unlikely that the latest announcement was timed
:05:20. > :05:24.But it does serve as a riposte to the Republican presidential
:05:25. > :05:28.candidate Donald Trump, who has vowed to fill Guantanamo
:05:29. > :05:30.with America's enemies and treat them harshly.
:05:31. > :05:33.I said, I think we should go much, much, much further
:05:34. > :05:39.There were once almost 700 prisoners at Guantanamo Bay,
:05:40. > :05:42.after years of releases, there are now just 61 left.

:06:27. > :06:30.The number of wild bees across England is on the decline
:06:31. > :06:35.They say the sharp fall of up to 30% can be linked to the use
:06:36. > :06:37.of a controversial pesticide, which is temporarily

:06:50. > :06:52.They are vital for the environment - pollinating our flowers,

:06:59. > :07:01.there is evidence that pesticides are linked to their
:07:02. > :07:09.In farmland across the country, neonicotinoid chemicals have been
:07:10. > :07:17.This field of oilseed rape is just about ready for harvest
:07:18. > :07:21.and it is this crop that is treated with the insecticide.
:07:22. > :07:24.The chemical's applied to seeds before they are planted and this
:07:25. > :07:30.protects the plants from pests as they grow.
:07:31. > :07:35.But since 2013, farms have not been allowed to use the pesticide,
:07:36. > :07:41.after the European Union put a temporary ban in place.
:07:42. > :07:43.Smaller lab-based studies suggested they were harming bees.
:07:44. > :07:47.However this latest research from the Centre for Ecology
:07:48. > :07:49.and Hydrology analysed their effects on dozens of species
:07:50. > :07:52.across the whole of England and they found that bees that
:07:53. > :07:55.foraged on neonicotinoid-treated oilseed rape were three times more
:07:56. > :07:59.likely to be in decline than the species that did not.
:08:00. > :08:02.What we have been able to do is massively increase the scale
:08:03. > :08:05.We are looking at the whole of England.
:08:06. > :08:08.We are looking at long-time periods, over 18 years and looking at 62
:08:09. > :08:12.And it is this massive increase in scale which separates this study
:08:13. > :08:18.But one company that makes neonicotinoids says it is not clear
:08:19. > :08:25.that the pesticide is to blame and the ban is hurting farmers.
:08:26. > :08:27.The alternatives, when it comes to growing oilseed rape,
:08:28. > :08:31.in the UK landscape, seem to be very few and the ones
:08:32. > :08:36.that are there do not appear to be really helping.
:08:37. > :08:39.We are seeing a lot of destruction of crops out there and farmers
:08:40. > :08:43.are really struggling to be able to grow this crop in the UK now.
:08:44. > :08:46.This growing body of research on the plight of bees is currently
:08:47. > :08:54.Next year, they will decide whether to lift the ban
:08:55. > :09:04.The United Nations has raised concern for what they see
:09:05. > :09:06.as an "intensification" of air strikes in Yemen.
:09:07. > :09:08.Yesterday, a hospital run by Medecins Sans Frontieres
:09:09. > :09:11.was hit in northern Yemen, killing at least 14 people.
:09:12. > :09:16.It's believed it was carried out by the Saudi-led coalition,
:09:17. > :09:19.which is backing Yemen's government in its fight against Houthi rebels.
:09:20. > :09:26.Pictures from the ground show the scale of the damage.
:09:27. > :09:28.Another 19 were injured in the attack.
:09:29. > :09:30.Yemen's Prime Minister has spoken to the BBC's Arabic Service
:09:31. > :09:42.and said his government was looking into all cases like this.
:09:43. > :09:47.In truth we should focus on the main reasons about what has happened in
:09:48. > :09:50.Yemen. We want everyone across the world to know the exact truth but
:09:51. > :09:55.you have to be very clean about it and say explicitly. Those
:09:56. > :09:58.responsible for this war have to beef held fully accountable for the
:09:59. > :10:02.damage in Yemen and for the casualties the cause.
:10:03. > :10:06.Iona Craig is a recent recipient of the prestigious Orwell Prize
:10:07. > :10:08.for journalism for her work inside Yemen and has spent much
:10:09. > :10:20.She returned in March and told me who would be behind this attack.
:10:21. > :10:26.It's clear when you're on the ground that the only person that can be
:10:27. > :10:31.responsible is the Saudi led coalition has nobody else with their
:10:32. > :10:34.power in Yemen. The Yemen air force can operate at the moment and the
:10:35. > :10:38.only people dropping bombs on the country are the Saudi led coalition.
:10:39. > :10:45.It's quite clear that is the case and I think MSF have been clear
:10:46. > :10:48.about that. This is a regular occurrence in Yemen and the fourth
:10:49. > :10:53.MSF facilitated hospital that has been hit in the last 12 months. Why
:10:54. > :11:00.would a hospital be targeted as some people believe it to be? I think
:11:01. > :11:04.that's the question. The GPS coordinates are given out to the
:11:05. > :11:11.coalition and to all the parties in the conflict. UN aid agency
:11:12. > :11:17.facilities around the country, so it should be easy to avoid but these
:11:18. > :11:22.kind of strike patterns of neural regular basis, I've seen it on the
:11:23. > :11:27.ground myself, give seen civilian houses being targeted, I
:11:28. > :11:30.investigated it strikes in which up to 175 civilians were killed in
:11:31. > :11:37.those strikes, which included civilian homes and buses, I've seen
:11:38. > :11:43.schools head, maternity wards hit and most of the time, the Saudi led
:11:44. > :11:48.coalition blames them for having targets near these areas are when
:11:49. > :11:54.they hit a school at weekends, the Saudis try to say it was a trail
:11:55. > :11:58.soldier training camp when Unicef and other agencies have been there
:11:59. > :12:04.and it is clearly a school. Your work is focused on Yemen but I think
:12:05. > :12:07.many would say this is a war that is underreported, some people call it a
:12:08. > :12:14.failed state, one of the poorest countries in the Middle East. Why is
:12:15. > :12:19.that, do you think? Yemen is the Buddhist country in the region. It
:12:20. > :12:27.has all been underreported -- Yemen is the poorest country. It is
:12:28. > :12:30.convenient that it is underreported. But the British and American
:12:31. > :12:36.Government climb are heavily involved and the British Government
:12:37. > :12:40.have sold ?3.3 billion's worth of arms to Saudi Arabia since the start
:12:41. > :12:44.of this war. The Americans have sold nearly five times that amount so it
:12:45. > :12:47.is very difficult for journalists to get into the country, particularly
:12:48. > :12:52.now the airport has been closed again in the last week and while
:12:53. > :12:56.it's difficult for reporters to get in, the stories don't get out and
:12:57. > :13:01.the governments are not held to account. In the last few minutes, we
:13:02. > :13:11.have had unconfirmed reports that year -- Yemen rebels have fired a
:13:12. > :13:15.missile into Syria. If this proves to be accurate, it will be the
:13:16. > :13:18.highest number of civilian casualties in the country since the
:13:19. > :13:35.Saudi led coalition intervene 70 months ago in Yemen.
:13:36. > :13:37.Let's get the latest on Team GB at the Olympics today.

:14:26. > :14:32.fiance is said to be Chris Foy's record of six gold medals in half an
:14:33. > :14:38.hour. Jason won it last time so there could be ten medals between
:14:39. > :14:44.that couple. Britain's first gold medal of the Olympics on day 11 was
:14:45. > :14:51.won by Giles Scott in sailing Finn class. He had the luxury of treating
:14:52. > :14:59.it as a lap of honour. He continued in the next three games by Sir Ben
:15:00. > :15:06.Ainslie and ensured his country took back a fifth consecutive medal. Good
:15:07. > :15:10.news for Britain's sailing team because they're guaranteed gold with
:15:11. > :15:14.the medal race still to come tomorrow. The duo will arrive
:15:15. > :15:18.tomorrow with business after they took silver in London 2012. It's

:16:37. > :16:39.rose more than expected Now to politics, where lately we've
:16:40. > :16:50.been spending a lot of time talking But tonight, it's body
:16:51. > :16:54.language we're focused on. A lot of us talk with our hands,
:16:55. > :16:58.but the Republican nominee takes We asked an expert to help break
:16:59. > :17:10.down what all those motions mean. Trump is a creature of New York City
:17:11. > :17:16.and New Yorkers tend to use a lot of hand gestures. We all do. He is
:17:17. > :17:22.entertaining even if he doesn't say a thing.
:17:23. > :17:28.I don't think he has been coached heavily on body language and people
:17:29. > :17:36.pick up on that in an instant. They pick up his authenticity. We're
:17:37. > :17:43.going to take care of our veterans. This is his baseline. It's an
:17:44. > :17:52.alternating hand gesture with an L shaped. It looks precise. People are
:17:53. > :17:57.shocked. he uses this as cautionary. Look out. This is a tough competitor
:17:58. > :18:04.or he'll say, we don't what's going to happen here. This scares people.
:18:05. > :18:08.It looks like wow, hold him back, its defensive. If you hold people
:18:09. > :18:12.back and say here's what we need to do, his prescription, you've got a
:18:13. > :18:21.good package. I'm taking the gloves off, yes? the no no is pointing at
:18:22. > :18:27.people. Bill Clinton backed off from that. He started to do more of a
:18:28. > :18:35.pinch towards somebody, it is less accusatory. Slicing means, this is
:18:36. > :18:41.precision, we've got to do something about this. I don't want to hit the
:18:42. > :18:46.first ball, I don't want to hit anything. he gets people whipped up
:18:47. > :18:51.with his gestures. He gets them to give a sense of chaos, whether he
:18:52. > :18:54.says, we don't have a plan! It's everywhere! That's chaos and then he
:18:55. > :18:56.follows it up with precision moves. Elect me and we'll get to the bottom
:18:57. > :19:16.of it. Breaking news about Laura Trott, she
:19:17. > :19:22.has won a gold medal in the women's's omnium at the Rio
:19:23. > :19:25.Olympics. Her second gold of the Olympics, her fourth in total. That
:19:26. > :19:31.makes her the most successful British female Olympian ever. Well
:19:32. > :19:34.all the excitement is, at the moment, focused on the competition,
:19:35. > :19:37.what happens when these athletes leave?
:19:38. > :19:39.Will these games leave any lasting impact?
:19:40. > :19:42.Chris Mitchell has been to see a new project in the shadows

:19:45. > :20:07.This place is just a few hundred metres from the Olympic Park in Rio
:20:08. > :20:12.and yet this is where you might find Olympic champions of the future.
:20:13. > :20:17.That's because thousands of dollars have been invested here to provide
:20:18. > :20:21.sporting facilities for underprivileged locals in the hope
:20:22. > :20:24.that it might inspire them to become active. The Olympic village is at
:20:25. > :20:30.the heartbeat of their communities. This is where they come to play, the
:20:31. > :20:33.own this, it's a safe space for them and in the five-year commitment, we
:20:34. > :20:37.are making sure we are working together with the city and with the
:20:38. > :20:40.community to make it sustainable. Ultimately, we want to transform the
:20:41. > :20:44.community and impact the lives of these kids so they grew up loving
:20:45. > :20:48.sport, being active and it really helps the community. We believe in
:20:49. > :20:54.that unlimited potential of the kids. if you want to inspire a new
:20:55. > :21:02.generation, then why not get in an athletic superstar? Carl Lewis won
:21:03. > :21:06.ten medals at the Olympics for the USA, nine of them gold. Getting kids
:21:07. > :21:10.involved in sports young, you can teach all kinds of lessons, physical
:21:11. > :21:16.activity, engagement that you can't get if you start over and for me,
:21:17. > :21:19.it's personal because I have a youth programme, an athletic programme in
:21:20. > :21:23.the United States, and I started at eight years old, a programme my
:21:24. > :21:27.parents started, and this is personal for me and I think it is
:21:28. > :21:32.wonderful and I'm happy to bring it into these neighbourhoods and
:21:33. > :21:34.realise spaces like this which wouldn't be utilised. the fact the
:21:35. > :21:39.money for this regeneration is coming from the sponsor and not the
:21:40. > :21:42.state tells its own story. Rio is putting on a good chauffeur now but
:21:43. > :21:44.the real test will be whether it has a vision to make the Olympics pay
:21:45. > :21:56.for to come. Each day we've been bringing you the
:21:57. > :22:01.lesser reported stories on the Olympics. Here is today's.
:22:02. > :22:13.When Brazil's de Silva won the support of everyone in the Olympic
:22:14. > :22:17.Stadium, he didn't sit well with the silver medallist who was upset the
:22:18. > :22:23.fans were booing him during his last jump. He said that everybody was
:22:24. > :22:27.against him, not showing the Olympic values of excellence, friendship and
:22:28. > :22:34.respect. He was so upset he compared his experience to Jesse Owens during
:22:35. > :22:38.the 1936 Olympics in Berlin when he was booed for being black. He took
:22:39. > :22:45.back that statement but still wasn't happy that he didn't repeat this
:22:46. > :22:49.time as the Olympic champion. The Rio games may go down as the romance
:22:50. > :22:55.games. So far, we've had a wedding proposal from Chinese divers, a
:22:56. > :23:01.Brazilian rugby player, a British race walker and a British dressage
:23:02. > :23:05.proposal. Now people are asking if they're taking away from the
:23:06. > :23:11.sporting accomplishment. Chinese diver was barely off the podium with
:23:12. > :23:18.her silver medal, Britain's Charlotte had just won gold in
:23:19. > :23:22.dressage, this athlete waited until he finished his own event before
