:00:08. > :00:16.The UN says it will resume aid convoys to Syria -

:00:17. > :00:33.The US stands by its accusations that Russia was responsible.

:00:34. > :00:41.The simple reality is we cannot resolve this crisis if the major

:00:42. > :00:45.parties that come to the table and agree to do something are unwell in

:00:46. > :00:47.to do what is necessary to avoid escalation.

:00:48. > :00:48.Antibiotics could soon be completely ineffective.

:00:49. > :00:52.We'll find out what they've got planned.

:00:53. > :00:54.New ways to fight the ivory trade are causing

:00:55. > :01:03.Incredible scenes in North Carolina last night -

:01:04. > :01:09.protests were sparked by the police shooting of a black man by police.

:01:10. > :01:14.And if you want to get in touch about any of the stories -

:01:15. > :01:39.Despite its aid convoy being attacked in Syria on Monday -

:01:40. > :01:42.the UN says it'll try again to get aid into the country.

:01:43. > :01:54.First, the latest on what happened to that convoy.

:01:55. > :01:55.America accuses Russia of bombing it.

:01:56. > :02:05.Their two foreign ministers have been speaking at the UN.

:02:06. > :02:17.According to a spokesman, I quote," neither Russia nor Syria conducted

:02:18. > :02:21.air strikes on the UN humanitarian convoy on the outskirts of Aleppo.

:02:22. > :02:26.Then he went further to say that the damage to the convoy was the direct

:02:27. > :02:32.result of the convoy catching fire. The trucks and the food and the

:02:33. > :02:38.medicine just spontaneously combusted. Anybody here believe

:02:39. > :02:44.that? I mean, this is not a joke. We are in serious business here.

:02:45. > :02:50.TRANSLATION: He insisted on a very thorough and impartial investigation

:02:51. > :02:54.of the attack on the humanitarian convoy. Many said that it could have

:02:55. > :03:00.been a rocket or an artillery shelling, that is what the initial

:03:01. > :03:04.reports were, and then helicopters or warplanes were mentioned. I think

:03:05. > :03:06.we need to refrain from emotional reactions and make comments

:03:07. > :03:09.immediately. While Russia and America

:03:10. > :03:11.are disagreeing, improbably the UN has announced it will again try

:03:12. > :03:14.and move aid into Syria. Here's the UN Special Envoy for

:03:15. > :03:29.Syria in New York with Lyse Doucet. They will be rolling, because the

:03:30. > :03:37.humanitarian need always prevails. People have been waiting for it,

:03:38. > :03:40.carefully and cautiously. They are losing hope, which means really

:03:41. > :03:46.betraying all the Syrians who have been waiting for some good news. But

:03:47. > :03:50.you have seen the mood inside the Security Council. It is really hard

:03:51. > :03:55.to see how it will be picked up, despite the necessity of it. I have

:03:56. > :04:00.seen the difficulties in the Council meetings. It was not the most

:04:01. > :04:05.difficult one. Both Russia and America, while they were actually

:04:06. > :04:10.being quite tense with each other, when you looked at Sergei Lavrov, we

:04:11. > :04:13.still have a chance. But we need both for us to make it work.

:04:14. > :04:15.Steffan de Mistura wants the US and Russia

:04:16. > :04:18.That's looking some way off right now.

:04:19. > :04:21.The Americans not only accuse the Russians of attacking that

:04:22. > :04:23.aid convoy - they say the attack took two hours.

:04:24. > :04:26.For their part, the Russians say it didn't happen at all.

:04:27. > :04:28.They've also released this drone footage.

:04:29. > :04:32.They say it backs up their claims that the rebels were involved.

:04:33. > :04:36.They say the aid convoy is what we can see highlighted in red.

:04:37. > :04:55.And that those are rebel fighters alongside.

:04:56. > :05:08.A newswire came in to the BBC. The US are denying the claim by Russia

:05:09. > :05:13.that a US coalition Predator drone was in the air over an aid convoy.

:05:14. > :05:18.It is said it would have the capacity to carry out the attack.

:05:19. > :05:22.It's complicated, but it illustrates how these two giants of the world

:05:23. > :05:28.are busy arguing over what happened to those two lorries. To get some

:05:29. > :05:33.help to sift through this, I asked the BBC's defence and diplomatic

:05:34. > :05:38.correspondent to join us. The US and Russia both heavily engaged in the

:05:39. > :05:43.air over Syria. Both are monitoring air activity in the region very

:05:44. > :05:50.carefully. The Americans have large airborne controlled aircraft, and

:05:51. > :05:55.the Russian have powerful systems on the ground in Syria. The Americans

:05:56. > :06:01.have not seen their evidence, that they are pointing their finger very

:06:02. > :06:06.firmly at the Russians, whether they be two Russian or two Syrian

:06:07. > :06:10.warplanes. The suggestion is that these aircraft came and went back to

:06:11. > :06:16.the Russian airbase. The fact they were flying in pairs suggests a

:06:17. > :06:20.Russian operation rather than a Syrian one. The fact it was at night

:06:21. > :06:24.suggests it probably wasn't the Syrians. The Russians are totally

:06:25. > :06:29.dismissing this. They are saying they had nothing to do with it, and

:06:30. > :06:36.neither did the Syrians. They are pointing their fingers at the rebels

:06:37. > :06:43.first, but also at the potential of an American drone being in the area.

:06:44. > :06:47.Certainly they can not carried a weapon slow to do anything like the

:06:48. > :06:53.damage caused on the convoys, but I think somebody in this war of words

:06:54. > :06:58.has to come out with some physical evidence to show the track of

:06:59. > :07:04.aircraft if it is to be resolved. In reality, this is a test over who may

:07:05. > :07:08.or may not have done it, but the fact is that the ceasefire is now

:07:09. > :07:12.under greater strain that at any point. These two countries are

:07:13. > :07:18.supposed to be brokering a ceasefire and helping to deliver peace. How

:07:19. > :07:23.bad is the fallout from this attack? Very bad. The trust between Russia

:07:24. > :07:28.and the US, the two main authors of this potential ceasefire, was not

:07:29. > :07:33.good at the outset. It was supposed to lead to a joint air campaign

:07:34. > :07:45.against so-called Islamic State. That looks almost laughable now. The

:07:46. > :07:48.level of trust and tension between Moscow and Washington is great. It

:07:49. > :07:50.is hard to see how the process could be restarted. John Kerry suggested

:07:51. > :07:53.there should be no flights over these areas where humanitarian

:07:54. > :07:58.supplies may be delivered. I'm not sure whether the Russians or the

:07:59. > :08:04.Syrians will agree to that now. The whole process has been put back

:08:05. > :08:09.dramatically. Jonathan talking about the conflict in Syria. Across the

:08:10. > :08:14.hour we will have a report from Iraq, close to the front line, where

:08:15. > :08:18.Kurdish fighters are advancing on Islamic State. We will talk to a BBC

:08:19. > :08:25.reporter who got to a part of Yemen where even aid agencies can't go,

:08:26. > :08:26.because it is too dangerous. We will talk about the impact that conflict

:08:27. > :08:29.will be having on people. We've talked about the threat

:08:30. > :08:31.from drug resistant superbugs They're bacteria that have become

:08:32. > :08:34.immune to antibiotics. It's thought that these untreatable

:08:35. > :08:36.illnesses are responsible That could rise to ten million

:08:37. > :08:47.deaths a year by 2050. The United Nations is set to sign

:08:48. > :09:02.a declaration that it hopes I have been talking to James

:09:03. > :09:06.Gallagher, as I always do on this story, about the details of what the

:09:07. > :09:11.UN is suggesting. There isn't a huge amount of detail. It is very

:09:12. > :09:17.important and symbolic, because we have discussed this thousands of

:09:18. > :09:24.times. 700,000 people already dying every year from drug-resistant and

:09:25. > :09:29.-- illnesses. The UN is taking steps to say they need to deal with this.

:09:30. > :09:37.It is a rare for the UN to deal with health. It did for AIDS, and it did

:09:38. > :09:40.for Ebola a couple of years ago. So it is a big moment. The big plan

:09:41. > :09:44.will come in a couple of years. So this is a symbolic intervention by

:09:45. > :09:50.the UN. What might follow from a plan, even if there is no detail? It

:09:51. > :09:54.may follow plans to increase education so there is more public

:09:55. > :09:58.awareness, plans to increase surveillance over the world. The

:09:59. > :10:05.real detail is how to get drug companies to produce more of these

:10:06. > :10:09.drugs, how to get farmers to stop using antibiotics vital for human

:10:10. > :10:13.health on farmland, and how to stop people like us going to. Does and

:10:14. > :10:18.demanding antibiotics when they don't need them. Does that not boil

:10:19. > :10:22.down to governments and how they instruct their farmers and their

:10:23. > :10:26.health services? It has a global ambition, but it needs to be

:10:27. > :10:30.tailored to each country, because the problems are different in each

:10:31. > :10:36.country. But you need a global solution. We have seen antibiotic

:10:37. > :10:42.resistance spread between countries. It is something that moves around

:10:43. > :10:46.the world. It is important that the UN has come together and said we

:10:47. > :10:49.need to deal with this as a global voice. Each country will have to

:10:50. > :10:51.come up with ways to deal with it individually as well.

:10:52. > :10:54.India is one of the world's largest consumer of antibiotics.

:10:55. > :11:13.Here's Shilpa Kannan Delhi with more.

:11:14. > :11:22.Blood is trying to curb this. It used to be used in some places like

:11:23. > :11:27.central Delhi. I went into many places to try to buy antibiotics

:11:28. > :11:31.without a prescription, and I was refused by everyone of them. The

:11:32. > :11:36.government is not just stopping at that. They have introduced the red

:11:37. > :11:41.Line campaign, which is putting a bright red line on antibiotics,

:11:42. > :11:46.warning people it shouldn't be sold without a proper prescription. Any

:11:47. > :11:52.here are prescribed antibiotics for mild infections when they don't need

:11:53. > :12:02.to be, such as Common colds and flu. Given the high cost of medicine,

:12:03. > :12:05.many people fail to take the whole course of antibiotics. Stopping

:12:06. > :12:11.early could mean that untreated bacteria could turn resistant. India

:12:12. > :12:16.has the highest use of antibiotics and rising resistance to them. One

:12:17. > :12:22.study pointed out that nearly 60,000 newborns die from antibiotic

:12:23. > :12:26.resistant neonatal infections every year.

:12:27. > :12:29.The British government wants to tighten the rules on the sale

:12:30. > :12:31.of modern-day ivory to help stop the slaughter

:12:32. > :12:35.There's already a ban on trading in ivory that's less than 70 years

:12:36. > :12:38.old, but at the moment, dealers can still get permits to sell it

:12:39. > :12:44.Our science editor, David Shukman, has more.

:12:45. > :12:47.A massive bonfire in Kenya earlier this year.

:12:48. > :12:51.The tusks from 6,000 elephants slaughtered by poachers.

:12:52. > :12:54.The killings are triggered by a demand for ivory that

:12:55. > :12:59.So, across the great plains of Africa, entire herds

:13:00. > :13:05.Some populations face a real threat of extinction.

:13:06. > :13:08.So there's huge pressure to clamp down on sales of ivory

:13:09. > :13:12.and today Britain announced that it would do just that.

:13:13. > :13:18.We are taking a very significant step forward,

:13:19. > :13:21.banning all modern ivory trading in the United Kingdom.

:13:22. > :13:25.There is more to do to meet our manifesto commitment.

:13:26. > :13:29.But it does require global concerted action, and so this is a really

:13:30. > :13:35.The new measures will still allow antique ivory to be traded,

:13:36. > :13:40.Only more modern ivory will be banned.

:13:41. > :13:44.Other countries like America have imposed even tougher controls.

:13:45. > :13:47.So antique dealers here are relieved.

:13:48. > :13:50.It's extremely important that all of us in this country and around

:13:51. > :13:54.the world are able to learn and appreciate and enjoy works

:13:55. > :13:59.of art that are part of our shared cultural inheritance.

:14:00. > :14:03.And somehow if you demonize ivory, that particular aspect of our past

:14:04. > :14:07.gets pushed into a cupboard, so to speak.

:14:08. > :14:10.The key with ivory is its age and whether it dates

:14:11. > :14:16.So this piece is at least 200 years old and as a work of art

:14:17. > :14:23.This one, much paler by comparison, dates from the 1970s,

:14:24. > :14:25.so it can't be legally bought or sold.

:14:26. > :14:29.And what matters is telling these apart.

:14:30. > :14:32.The most reliable system is carbon dating.

:14:33. > :14:36.This lab at Oxford University looks for traces of radioactivity.

:14:37. > :14:38.If there aren't any, the ivory is from before

:14:39. > :14:43.But the technique is expensive and conservationists worry

:14:44. > :14:55.the clampdown on trading doesn't go far enough.

:14:56. > :15:01.We welcome the fact that the government has made an announcement

:15:02. > :15:06.is showing an interest in this issue, but our theory is that they

:15:07. > :15:10.are not going to go far enough to really eradicate the ivory trade in

:15:11. > :15:15.this country. The test is whether this stops the slaughter of the

:15:16. > :15:20.elephants. The key is halting demand for ivory, especially in China, and

:15:21. > :15:25.every initiative is supposed to send a signal to the poachers.

:15:26. > :15:30.We have had reports from Syria, India, the UK and the US, and in a

:15:31. > :15:37.few minutes we will turn to Hong Kong. The latest effort to send

:15:38. > :15:42.three of the young men who organised massive anti-Chinese protests in

:15:43. > :15:47.Hong Kong a few years ago, well, they have avoided prison.

:15:48. > :15:50.A coroner has ruled that gross failures by one of England's largest

:15:51. > :15:53.mental health trusts contributed to the death of a teenage patient.

:15:54. > :15:56.Christopher Brennan was 15 when he died at the Bethlem Royal Hospital.

:15:57. > :15:58.The inquest was told staff didn't carry out a risk assessment,

:15:59. > :15:59.despite Christopher's history of self-harm.

:16:00. > :16:16.The coroner has found today that our beloved son and brother Chris died

:16:17. > :16:22.as a result of gross failings by the South London and Maudsley NHS trust.

:16:23. > :16:27.This is the most recent finding in a growing number of child deaths in

:16:28. > :16:31.psychiatric hospitals across the country as a result of neglect. Not

:16:32. > :16:39.one more child should be allowed to die in this way. The family supports

:16:40. > :16:43.the calls for Jeremy Hunt to commission an independent review

:16:44. > :16:47.into the death of children in psychiatric hospitals, and they wish

:16:48. > :16:54.to thank the charity Inquest for their unbending support.

:16:55. > :16:56.This is Outside Source live from the BBC newsroom.

:16:57. > :16:59.The UN says it will resume aid convoys to Syria,

:17:00. > :17:10.a few days after an attack on a group trying to reach Aleppo.

:17:11. > :17:14.BBC Hausa reports that Zimbabwean authorities are threatening

:17:15. > :17:19.imprisonment for those that "abuse" the national flag.

:17:20. > :17:21.There have been weeks of anti-government protests -

:17:22. > :17:26.and the flag's been used as a symbol for their campaign.

:17:27. > :17:28.Not for the first time the Filipino President Rodrigo Duterte has

:17:29. > :17:34.This time the EU is the target after it condemned his relaxed

:17:35. > :17:37.approach to the murder of criminals and drug dealers.

:17:38. > :17:41.He said "hypocritical" powers like France and Britain were trying

:17:42. > :17:51.Vets in the UK are warning would-be dog owners to think twice

:17:52. > :17:54.before buying breeds with fashionably

:17:55. > :18:05.Many of these dogs are born with medical problems, we're told.

:18:06. > :18:18.These are pictures of a violent protest in North Carolina.

:18:19. > :18:23.They followed the shooting of a black man.

:18:24. > :18:29.It happened in a place called Charlotte. As you can see, it turned

:18:30. > :18:31.violent. 12 police officers

:18:32. > :18:33.were hurt - one of them Those are police cars that

:18:34. > :18:37.demonstrators are jumping on. Earlier on Tuesday, this man,

:18:38. > :18:39.Keith Lamont Scott, was shot by a black officer

:18:40. > :18:57.and died in hospital. Here is one man who decided to go

:18:58. > :19:02.out on the street and protest. I'm black, so when I see this I think,

:19:03. > :19:09.at any given moment, I could get pulled over, and I could get shot,

:19:10. > :19:13.armed or not. It has been growing. People are getting shot everywhere.

:19:14. > :19:17.If you are a black guy, you probably should be scared, because we are the

:19:18. > :19:22.ones getting shot. The mayor of Charlotte is calling on everyone to

:19:23. > :19:28.stay calm. She said, we will continue to work with our manager in

:19:29. > :19:32.chief on the officer in question involved in the shooting. She

:19:33. > :19:34.promises a full investigation. We will be live in Charlotte at the

:19:35. > :19:37.moment. On Monday, footage of a man

:19:38. > :19:41.being tasered and then shot dead This is Terence Crutcher,

:19:42. > :19:52.a black man who was unarmed. He's walking towards his truck

:19:53. > :19:55.holding his hands in the air - We paused it at the

:19:56. > :20:33.moment he was shot. That is not the video the police

:20:34. > :20:38.released. It continued an interrupted. Let's bring in Gary

:20:39. > :20:42.O'Donoghue who is live in Charlotte. What has been happening today? The

:20:43. > :20:47.police have been even -- giving their side of the story today. What

:20:48. > :20:53.they say is that Keith Lamont Scott did have a gun in his hand when he

:20:54. > :20:59.got back out of his car when he was challenged by officers yesterday

:21:00. > :21:02.afternoon at about this time. They are absolutely categorical about

:21:03. > :21:06.that. They say they gave him multiple warnings to drop the

:21:07. > :21:12.weapon, and he didn't. And that is why he was shot. The family dispute

:21:13. > :21:17.that. They say he had a book in his hands, and was just sitting in his

:21:18. > :21:23.car waiting to pick his son up from the school bus. So you have two

:21:24. > :21:27.conflicting accounts of that. What people are saying here, and the

:21:28. > :21:32.Civil Liberties union are saying, that the police should release the

:21:33. > :21:37.body camera video, the dashcam video of the incident, to try to clear up

:21:38. > :21:42.what has happened. The police chief said he was restricted in what he

:21:43. > :21:46.could release because of a new law that comes into force here in North

:21:47. > :21:51.Carolina which really only allows a judge to give a court order to

:21:52. > :21:55.release such a video. But the protesters say the law does not come

:21:56. > :22:00.into effect until October, so that is why the video should be released.

:22:01. > :22:04.The police are bracing themselves for potential trouble later on

:22:05. > :22:09.tonight. They are doing everything they can to make sure that doesn't

:22:10. > :22:13.happen, but at the moment, there isn't any means to clear up exactly

:22:14. > :22:16.what happened to Keith Lamont Scott, out in the public, at least. Thank

:22:17. > :22:23.you, Gary. The US Federal Reserve has decided

:22:24. > :22:26.to not to shift interest rates. We've done this story a few times -

:22:27. > :22:29.this is the sixth time in a row Samira Hussain, outside the Fed's

:22:30. > :22:43.building in Washington DC. You can explain to us why the rate

:22:44. > :22:48.is staying the same, and why it still matters a great deal. So they

:22:49. > :22:52.have decided to keep the rate is the same, and they think that while the

:22:53. > :22:57.economy here in the US is showing some signs of strength, the labour

:22:58. > :23:01.market is doing better, but there are other things weighing on the

:23:02. > :23:06.Federal Reserve. One thing is inflation, which is not where it

:23:07. > :23:12.wants to be. Interest rates are important because they tell how much

:23:13. > :23:15.people can borrow money for. What they are doing by keeping interest

:23:16. > :23:21.rates with the low is to encourage businesses to borrow money and then

:23:22. > :23:25.make investments. When you change those interest rates, it could

:23:26. > :23:29.change the way businesses behave, and that is one thing that the

:23:30. > :23:34.Federal Reserve are talking about, that they are not seeing as much

:23:35. > :23:39.business investment as they want to. It is important for the global

:23:40. > :23:45.economy because of the fact that our economy is global. Any changes that

:23:46. > :23:49.happen in the US have an impact elsewhere in the world, especially

:23:50. > :23:53.since many things like commodities are all dealt with in US dollars.

:23:54. > :23:59.What happens here in the United States really does have an impact on

:24:00. > :24:04.what happens in the economies around the world. Thank you for explaining

:24:05. > :24:10.that. Let's talk about the story in the UK now.
