The US and Russia agreed to extend the ceasefire in Syria by 48 hours.

:00:10.:00:22.

We will have a report from Aleppo. to rising nationalism

:00:23.:00:24.

as the president of the European

:00:25.:00:27.

Commission gives his State A damning verdict on Britain's

:00:28.:00:29.

intervention in Libya, huge instability and the rise

:00:30.:00:37.

of so-called Islamic State in North Colin Powell, the Secretary of State

:00:38.:00:39.

under George W Bush called Donald Trump a national disgrace,

:00:40.:00:49.

according to leaked e-mails. Brazil's former leader is now facing

:00:50.:00:58.

corruption charges. Hello, the US and Russia have agreed

:00:59.:01:22.

to extend the truce in Syria by another 48 hours. The cessation of

:01:23.:01:26.

facilities has been in effect for two days and monitors the no

:01:27.:01:31.

civilian deaths have occurred. The United Nations says it still has not

:01:32.:01:35.

been able to deliver humanitarian aid to areas of the country. UN

:01:36.:01:39.

trucks are waiting for the go-ahead to make the journey from the Turkish

:01:40.:01:45.

border to Aleppo. Lorries full of Russian aid have reached

:01:46.:01:50.

government-held areas. The lull in fighting has revealed the extent of

:01:51.:01:54.

damage done to many rebel held areas. One in particular is this

:01:55.:01:59.

neighbourhood in north-western Aleppo which was held by rebels in

:02:00.:02:04.

the summer. It was retaken by the government. Our reporter has just

:02:05.:02:12.

been there. This place is to the west of Aleppo. It has been

:02:13.:02:20.

absolutely pulverised. I suspect a lot of this was the work of the

:02:21.:02:27.

Russian air force. Rebels, the Army is telling me, held this place until

:02:28.:02:33.

July of this year. Then in what was a huge display of firepower, they

:02:34.:02:38.

were driven out. From the government point of view this was an important

:02:39.:02:42.

moment because from this area, rebels were able to fire down onto

:02:43.:02:49.

the west side of Aleppo. You can only guess what happened to the

:02:50.:02:53.

people who originally lived in these houses. There is the remains of a

:02:54.:02:58.

school over there, I can see cheers. There is an ambulance. It is in a

:02:59.:03:06.

bad state. I suppose they have swelled the numbers of those who

:03:07.:03:11.

have lost their homes, half of the prewar population of Syria is either

:03:12.:03:15.

refugees outside the country or displaced within it. The Middle East

:03:16.:03:21.

is in a process of profound historical change. It is the result

:03:22.:03:30.

of a century of misrule, disastrous foreign interventions, stagnation

:03:31.:03:34.

and repression and this war is part of that. No wonder it is so hard to

:03:35.:03:42.

stop. Jeremy Bowen, BBC News, Aleppo.

:03:43.:03:45.

Jean Claude Juncker, the president of the

:03:46.:03:47.

European commission said the

:03:48.:03:48.

EU is in crisis but he stressed he does not believe its future is at

:03:49.:03:52.

risk after Britain's decision to leave.

:03:53.:03:54.

Part of his address dealed with splits.

:03:55.:03:56.

Mr Juncker said the EU was to a degree in an existential crisis.

:03:57.:04:38.

Think migration, eurozone and cross-border terror. The EU vote --

:04:39.:04:45.

the UK vote on the -- to eat is the biggest blow yet. Brexit was given

:04:46.:04:50.

little mention today. His intended message, we will be fine with O2.

:04:51.:04:55.

The European Parliament Brexit negotiator put this point. Stop the

:04:56.:05:01.

politics of division and take this opportunity not to kill Europe as

:05:02.:05:05.

some of you want but to bring it back. Thank you. But when the EU and

:05:06.:05:14.

UK/ out their new relationship, Mr Juncker are so -- insisted European

:05:15.:05:17.

principles were not up for negotiation. The UK would not get

:05:18.:05:23.

good access to the European single market if it imposed entry limits on

:05:24.:05:31.

European workers. Q Nigel Farage. The two men are famous year for

:05:32.:05:37.

their testing relationship. If you stick to the dogma of saying that

:05:38.:05:42.

for reciprocal tariff free access for the single market we must

:05:43.:05:46.

maintain the free movement of people, you will inevitably drive us

:05:47.:05:52.

towards no deal. Jean Claude Juncker's state of the union speech

:05:53.:05:57.

today is supposed to mark new beginnings following the British

:05:58.:06:00.

vote to leave but instead it highlighted the EU's biggest

:06:01.:06:07.

headache. Now start date and the lack of clarity around Brexit on the

:06:08.:06:11.

one hand and a real fear inside the parliament that the voters out the

:06:12.:06:15.

across Europe no longer trust or believe in the EU. Perhaps that is

:06:16.:06:21.

also part of a bigger process. The problem is the loss of trust of

:06:22.:06:27.

ordinary citizens. Ordinary citizens, working hard and playing

:06:28.:06:31.

by the rules do not feel respected. Not only by the European union, look

:06:32.:06:38.

great -- work worldwide. Look at the election campaign in the United

:06:39.:06:44.

States. Brussels bureaucrats, bankers and politicians, growing

:06:45.:06:48.

numbers of voters distrust what they say is a self-serving elite. The EU

:06:49.:06:54.

needs reform to become more relevant but that is little agreement in

:06:55.:06:56.

these corridors about how to do that. Mr Younger also used his

:06:57.:07:03.

speech to propose a military headquarters to be set up. He said

:07:04.:07:09.

we do not have a permanent structure....

:07:10.:07:18.

Not everyone is happy about the proposal, the Ukip MEP Nigel Farage

:07:19.:07:29.

treated. Let us look at what he had to say. He said... We wanted to find

:07:30.:07:46.

out if an EU army was likely, I turn to our defence and diplomatic

:07:47.:07:51.

correspondent. Even Nato doesn't have an army. It has individual

:07:52.:07:56.

troops from different countries who are trained to come together in a

:07:57.:08:03.

crisis. If that is what Mr Yunker is looking forward to in a European

:08:04.:08:08.

context by his standards it is not unreasonable. You're not going to

:08:09.:08:16.

see and EU army as such. The problem is people will say there are already

:08:17.:08:22.

European-wide arrangements involving Nato which involve Canada and the

:08:23.:08:27.

United States as well. Certainly his critics will be fearful of anything

:08:28.:08:32.

which uses up skiers defence resources by duplicating what Nato

:08:33.:08:38.

is doing. End of the to and fro and political debate, there is a lot of

:08:39.:08:46.

froth from the former Ukip leader for instance, the great problem is

:08:47.:08:49.

the Russians are watching from the sidelines. The other field of

:08:50.:08:53.

critics is that as the Russians watched all of this taking place,

:08:54.:08:58.

will there be any sense that they need is weakened as the perception

:08:59.:09:05.

that the West of standing firmly together is weakened? That has been

:09:06.:09:10.

the bedrock of European security since the Second World War. We have

:09:11.:09:17.

just heard in the last couple of hours from Brazil that prosecutors

:09:18.:09:23.

have lodged charges against the former president Lula da Silva.

:09:24.:09:29.

There was talk about and scandal at the state owned oil company. He has

:09:30.:09:36.

rejected accusations. Let us go to our correspondent. The accusations

:09:37.:09:41.

are being presented in a press conference right now. There has not

:09:42.:09:44.

been a lot of new things said which we didn't know already. Lula da

:09:45.:09:51.

Silva is being accused of receiving favours from a construction company.

:09:52.:09:54.

This company got lucrative deals with the oil company. He has denied

:09:55.:10:00.

all these charges. It has been on the news for quite some time. Now he

:10:01.:10:07.

will have to defend himself. The charges are being presented now and

:10:08.:10:12.

the judge is likely to rule on them. If they are excepted, he will be

:10:13.:10:16.

tried and it will be a massive trial. It is only weeks after his

:10:17.:10:21.

successor was impeached, a time of massive upheaval? Exactly. This

:10:22.:10:29.

story has a lot to do with that impeachment because Lula Da Silva is

:10:30.:10:35.

the only major political force who is seen as someone who can fight for

:10:36.:10:40.

the legacy of the workers party. That ended with the impeachment of

:10:41.:10:46.

the president. No opinion polls suggest that he would be a strong

:10:47.:10:52.

political force for 2018 so in order to protect our legacy he will have

:10:53.:10:55.

to clear his name from these allegations. How widespread is the

:10:56.:11:05.

corruption inquiry? There are hundreds of politicians, business

:11:06.:11:10.

people, some of Brazil's most powerful businessmen are behind bars

:11:11.:11:15.

because of this investigation. It has been proven that billions of

:11:16.:11:19.

dollars were siphoned off and it is by far the largest corruption scale

:11:20.:11:25.

and that -- corruption in Brazilian history. Lula da Silva and many

:11:26.:11:32.

other top politicians are actually going to trial and we will say how

:11:33.:11:36.

guilty these top politicians were. Thank you Daniel. I new way of

:11:37.:11:46.

having a baby? Scientists discover it may be possible to fertilise

:11:47.:11:56.

cells instead of eggs. Pauline Cafferkey, the Scottish nurse who

:11:57.:12:02.

survives Ebola has been cleared of professional misconduct. She faced

:12:03.:12:07.

charges of learning the wrong temperature to be recorded on

:12:08.:12:11.

returning to the UK from Sierra Leone. The panel ruled her judgment

:12:12.:12:16.

had been appeared by illness. Her lawyer spoke for her after the

:12:17.:12:21.

hearing. Public health was unprepared for the volume of people

:12:22.:12:25.

returning to the country affected by the outbreak. There were serious

:12:26.:12:29.

abuse of communication amongst Public Health England staff. It is

:12:30.:12:36.

ironic that the public health England processors which led to the

:12:37.:12:42.

investigation and proceedings being initiated against polling. No doubt

:12:43.:12:47.

lessons have been learned. Pauline has been motivated by a genuine

:12:48.:12:51.

desire to help people throughout her career even to the extent of putting

:12:52.:12:56.

her life at risk. She would never knowingly have put anyone in danger.

:12:57.:13:04.

You are with Outside Source live from the BBC newsroom. Our top

:13:05.:13:08.

story, the US and Russia have agreed to extend this area -- the ceasefire

:13:09.:13:15.

in Syria by 48 hours. Monitors report there have been no civilian

:13:16.:13:20.

deaths. Other headlines around the BBC, doctors treating Shimon Peres

:13:21.:13:28.

said his condition has improved marginally but it is still series

:13:29.:13:33.

since he suffered a stroke on Tuesday. That is on BBC World

:13:34.:13:38.

Service. BBC Chinese reports that tens of thousands of homes are

:13:39.:13:43.

without power in Taiwan after it was hit by a typhoon, the strongest in

:13:44.:13:49.

the world so far. It forced schools and businesses to close reading to

:13:50.:13:53.

flight cancellations and a trail of damage. A British Parliamentary

:13:54.:13:59.

committee has criticised the UK's military intervention in Libya in

:14:00.:14:05.

2011, accusing David Cameron of pursuing an opportune policy of

:14:06.:14:09.

regime change in removing Colonel Gaddafi. The report says the result

:14:10.:14:16.

was little and economic collapse into tribal warfare and migrant

:14:17.:14:22.

crisis. It said the UK strategy was founded on erroneous assumptions...

:14:23.:14:29.

The British involvement began with bombing back in March 2011 to stop

:14:30.:14:33.

the fighting in Benghazi. David Cameron went there a few months

:14:34.:14:36.

later and this is what he said at the time. It is great to be hear in

:14:37.:14:45.

three Benghazi and in free Libya. Your city, your city was an

:14:46.:14:53.

inspiration to the world as you threw off a dictator and chose

:14:54.:14:58.

freedom. After that fighting spread across the country with no rebel

:14:59.:15:03.

forces closing in on Colonel Gaddafi who was eventually killed seven

:15:04.:15:10.

months later in his hometown. This is roughly what Libya looks like

:15:11.:15:11.

now. The country is divided. Seen in pink is Islamic State, the

:15:12.:15:27.

area they are in control of, and they are in control of Benghazi,

:15:28.:15:32.

where we saw David Cameron speaking. It is very confusing so I turned to

:15:33.:15:36.

a correspondent to find out if this is a worst-case scenario.

:15:37.:15:40.

Back in 2011, the whole of the region was going through a momentous

:15:41.:15:46.

time. Six countries had a wave of synchronised upheavals, revolts

:15:47.:15:50.

against despots. None of the stories in these six countries ended happy

:15:51.:15:56.

way. So, in Libya, it was total meltdown afterwords. Downhill all

:15:57.:15:59.

the way. The people we have talked to today from Libya, Libyans who

:16:00.:16:07.

have lived through all of this, some of them are saying you have amnesia.

:16:08.:16:12.

You forgot what Gaddafi was really like. He was going to demolish

:16:13.:16:14.

Benghazi, he was going to go the massacre and the need to

:16:15.:16:17.

interference came in time. Critics of the operation, on the other hand,

:16:18.:16:23.

say that the UN security mandate at the time was for protecting

:16:24.:16:27.

civilians, not regime change, and what happened is this Nato operation

:16:28.:16:33.

escalated and became sort a systematic destruction of Gaddafi's

:16:34.:16:36.

army until the rebels managed to take over. There were warnings at

:16:37.:16:41.

the time that among these rebels there are hardline Islamists who

:16:42.:16:44.

could pose a danger in the future of the country. These warnings were not

:16:45.:16:50.

heeded, and this is partly... Part of the mess that Libya is suffering

:16:51.:16:53.

from today. Who is in control right now?

:16:54.:16:59.

You have a major split. You have an internationally recognised

:17:00.:17:01.

government in the capital, Tripoli. But you have two other governments,

:17:02.:17:06.

one in the East, which is not willing to support this government

:17:07.:17:11.

in Tripoli. And you have some factions in the West who are not

:17:12.:17:17.

fully on board. But you have no two big forces, military forces,

:17:18.:17:21.

emerging on the ground, the two military forces that probably will

:17:22.:17:25.

have the decisive, sort of, determining factor in the end. You

:17:26.:17:30.

have the brigade 's leading the fight against Islamic State, and you

:17:31.:17:36.

have the renegade self-styled general who is saying that he

:17:37.:17:41.

represents, what he calls, the Libyan army. And these are the two

:17:42.:17:47.

forces that are emerging as the two military heavyweights on the ground.

:17:48.:17:51.

What will happen is anybody's guess but the international community is

:17:52.:17:54.

calling for all sides to support the central government as the only

:17:55.:17:57.

option for this country to stabilise and pick itself up again.

:17:58.:18:02.

Now, the German Chancellor Angela Merkel is under pressure to

:18:03.:18:06.

integrate more than 1 million asylum seekers. One way she is going to do

:18:07.:18:09.

that is asking business leaders across the country to employ more

:18:10.:18:12.

refugees. Tonight, she is meeting bosses from farms like car-makers

:18:13.:18:23.

OPL and engineering firm Siemens. Hamburger, a city used to change. It

:18:24.:18:32.

is rich -- its rich wealth has flowed in through the port. Even so,

:18:33.:18:36.

for Hamburger, for Germany, it has been a year like no other. A

:18:37.:18:43.

turbulent time as well for Abdul. He is one of more than 30,000 refugees

:18:44.:18:48.

living in the city. But already he has phoned friends, a home, even a

:18:49.:18:53.

job. What does it mean for your future, being able to work here? For

:18:54.:18:58.

my future, I have to build my future step-by-step. So it is a first step

:18:59.:19:04.

for my future. So, for example, it is a first stone if you have a big

:19:05.:19:09.

house. You have to put the first stone. This country has ambitions as

:19:10.:19:15.

well. The population is ageing fast, Germany needs new workers. Ministers

:19:16.:19:19.

want half of the new arrivals in jobs within five years.

:19:20.:19:26.

THE SPEAKER GERMAN Is easier said than done. There are

:19:27.:19:31.

not enough German teachers. These new arrivals do not know if they

:19:32.:19:36.

will be a allowed to settle long-term. For Hamburg, and for

:19:37.:19:40.

Germany, it is a big investment with few guarantees. TRANSLATION: We are

:19:41.:19:46.

not naive. We do not think people are right and fitting immediately.

:19:47.:19:49.

It is hard work but we have no alternative. We are an ageing

:19:50.:19:53.

society, this immigration is happening. Either we turn this into

:19:54.:20:01.

a success of chance for our society we fail. Uncertain times, one third

:20:02.:20:04.

of Hamburg's refugees are still in temporary accommodation.

:20:05.:20:08.

TRANSLATION: Without work, it is very hard. I have to learn more

:20:09.:20:12.

Germans that I can get a job. Without work, I do not have enough

:20:13.:20:18.

money for a life. TRANSLATION: It is hard, a different culture, a

:20:19.:20:22.

different mentality. Bet you have a name, if you learn German quickly,

:20:23.:20:29.

you have a chance for a job, for a life. 'S practical problems with

:20:30.:20:32.

political consequences. There is a general election next year. This

:20:33.:20:36.

country is changing. Its Chancellor, Angela Merkel, is under pressure

:20:37.:20:40.

like never before. She has to convince a nervous electorate that

:20:41.:20:43.

Germany can integrate well over 1 million refugees. The trouble is

:20:44.:20:49.

that is going to take time, and German voters are running out of

:20:50.:20:55.

patience. Changing communities, shifting

:20:56.:20:58.

politics. Germany must decide on its future course.

:20:59.:21:06.

Now, our next story we have covered by the bed, the bed by a

:21:07.:21:13.

pharmaceutical giant to buy Monsanto. Well, the record-breaking

:21:14.:21:16.

offer of 66 billion offer was accepted. Our correspondent tweeted

:21:17.:21:27.

when the news broke... Well, let's get more from our correspondent in

:21:28.:21:35.

New York. They were rejected twice. Bayer finally got what it has been

:21:36.:21:39.

lusting after for so long. Yes, that is right. We have

:21:40.:21:42.

certainly talked about this on this programme many times before but I

:21:43.:21:45.

think it is important to address what the deal was tweeting about in

:21:46.:21:51.

terms of what would be controversial. -- what our

:21:52.:21:53.

correspondent was tweeting about. This is going to have to get to

:21:54.:21:57.

regulators and when you are seeing such a giant tie-up between these

:21:58.:22:01.

two companies, it is certainly going to have regulators asking questions

:22:02.:22:04.

in terms of whether it is going to be too big and whether it is going

:22:05.:22:08.

to hamper competition. That is really the next step. But one of the

:22:09.:22:11.

other issues that really comes up is something that we are seeing is

:22:12.:22:22.

actually in Europe, and it has to do with Monsanto and the fact that they

:22:23.:22:25.

use a lot of pesticides and herbicides and these kinds of seeds

:22:26.:22:28.

that have long been used here in the United States but has certainly been

:22:29.:22:30.

drawing a lot of criticism from environmentalists in the United

:22:31.:22:34.

Kingdom and elsewhere in Europe. Presumably, with this tie-up, you

:22:35.:22:38.

will be seeing some of those pesticides making their way into

:22:39.:22:40.

European farms. Thank you very much.

:22:41.:22:48.

Gadgets we can use to control our lives are big business in the tech

:22:49.:22:52.

world. How about a boy scandal speaker that can answer questions

:22:53.:22:58.

and link into dozens of third-party services? -- how about a voice

:22:59.:23:05.

controlled speaker. The big new thing in technology is

:23:06.:23:09.

talking to our devices. We are getting used to devise assistance on

:23:10.:23:14.

smartphones, but arguably the most is sophisticated new device is a

:23:15.:23:20.

speaker. It is called the Amazon Echo and it is coming to the UK. The

:23:21.:23:24.

voice inside call the legs and I have been living with her for six

:23:25.:23:28.

months, having brought one home from America. She cannot make the coffee

:23:29.:23:35.

but the Echo can provide information on some services. What is the news?

:23:36.:23:44.

BBC news... Alexa, stop. Alexa, ask Jude status of the district line is

:23:45.:23:50.

running. The district line has minor delays. So far we have seen it

:23:51.:23:53.

provides a lot of information you could get from a simple search

:23:54.:23:56.

engine, but what is more interesting is controlling things around your

:23:57.:24:02.

home. Alexa, ask the thermostat to set the temperature to 16 degrees.

:24:03.:24:09.

Said the debit to 16 in the hallway. Let's try something more

:24:10.:24:13.

complicated. Which is taller? The Eiffel Tower Empire State Building?

:24:14.:24:17.

The Empire State Building is taller than the adults are. The Echo can be

:24:18.:24:22.

clunky but what is sophisticated is the weird response to those

:24:23.:24:30.

questions. If I asked Google or Siri that same question, I would get a

:24:31.:24:34.

couple of where will links. But both are moving forward. Siri is moving
