:04:52. > :04:59.will not agree to military force as a way of making Syria comply. But
:04:59. > :05:08.the architect of the plan, Vladimir Putin, sounded cautiously

:05:11. > :05:18.international control of the Syrian chemical weapons is underway and we
:05:18. > :05:21.impart much significance to it, and hope for positive results which will
:05:21. > :05:28.create the conditions for a peaceful settlement of the Syrian crisis. For
:05:28. > :05:33.its part, Syria has begun signing up to the international treaty banning
:05:33. > :05:38.chemical weapons. But a UN report on a poison gas attack near Damascus
:05:38. > :05:46.last month, is due in a few days. It may show a trail of evidence leading
:05:46. > :05:52.to Assad's forces. On the ground fighting goes on. Today, and major
:05:52. > :05:56.human rights group accused Syrian government forces of executing
:05:56. > :06:02.civilians. A reminder of the brutality of the Civil War.
:06:02. > :06:07.This has been a green light for Syria to continue to kill its own
:06:07. > :06:11.people. One of the worst scenarios would be to have blue helmets on the
:06:11. > :06:15.ground looking for chemical weapons, at the same time as the Syrian

:06:46. > :06:51.from those talks? The latest is that John Kerry and Sergei Lavrov, his
:06:51. > :06:55.Russian counterpart, are meeting in the hotel behind me. Meanwhile, in
:06:55. > :07:01.other rooms of the hotel, smaller working groups of experts, on
:07:01. > :07:04.chemical weapons disarmament is, are meeting in working groups, reporting
:07:04. > :07:09.back to their ministers all the time. They are trying to see if they
:07:09. > :07:13.can bridge differences on how to handle the process of stripping
:07:13. > :07:17.Syria of its chemical weapons and the degree to which pressure needs
:07:17. > :07:22.to be maintained on President Assad. The Russians are opposed to any
:07:22. > :07:26.strikes. There are I think indications that they feel they are
:07:26. > :07:31.making progress. The Russians said this morning they hope for a
:07:31. > :07:35.positive outcome, possibly by the end of today, but they said Minister
:07:35. > :07:43.Sergei Lavrov was prepared to stay until tomorrow if that is what it
:07:43. > :07:49.took. Both sides say they will meet on the wider issue of trying to end
:07:49. > :07:53.the Syrian conflict during the big UN conflict which opens in New York
:07:53. > :07:58.in ten or 12 days time. There are positive signs but there are still
:07:58. > :08:03.huge differences which need to be resolved. We can speak to James
:08:03. > :08:07.Reynolds now. Monday will be an important day because the UN report
:08:07. > :08:10.will come out, the report done by the UN weapons inspectors and that
:08:10. > :08:18.could heap more pressure on all of this? It could. What we will be
:08:18. > :08:21.looking for in that report is evidence one way or the other to
:08:21. > :08:26.confirm that the Assad government was responsible for the chemical
:08:26. > :08:29.weapons attack. If such language exists in that report, the West will
:08:29. > :08:34.say to Russia and other countries that there is no doubt that Mr Assad
:08:34. > :08:39.was responsible. But if the language in that report is circumstantial, if
:08:39. > :08:44.it does not accuse Mr Assad's regime directly, then I think Mr Putin will
:08:44. > :08:49.say that for the moment Russia's diplomacy will carry on. I watched
:08:49. > :08:53.him at the meeting earlier today. He looked very confident. He received
:08:53. > :08:57.the praise of China and Iran, the other crucial allies of Syria. It
:08:57. > :09:03.looked at the moment that Mr Putin is in the diplomatic driving seat.
:09:03. > :09:13.Thank you both very much. You can see more on this story on the BBC
:09:13. > :09:17.News website. Four men who raped and murdered a
:09:17. > :09:22.student on a bus in Delhi have been sentenced to death. The attack on
:09:22. > :09:26.the 23-year-old woman caused outrage around the world and sparked days of
:09:26. > :09:35.violent demonstrations in India. This morning, the judge refused
:09:35. > :09:37.pleas for lighter sentences. Our correspondent Sanjoy Majumder sent
:09:37. > :09:41.this report from Delhi. The four men were brought to court
:09:41. > :09:49.under heavy security and driven past the waiting media. One of them
:09:49. > :09:54.shouting out, brothers, save us. There was an unprecedented police
:09:55. > :09:58.presence at the court today. All of India had been waiting for the
:09:59. > :10:03.sentence. Minutes later, the judge announced his sentence, the death
:10:03. > :10:07.penalty for all four, for a crime which he said had hurt the
:10:07. > :10:11.collective conscience of India. The victim's family were present as well
:10:11. > :10:18.and said justice had been served. Defence lawyers said the verdict did
:10:18. > :10:22.not come as a surprise. TRANSLATION: The accused had hopes of getting
:10:22. > :10:27.justice. They knew what would happen to them. Even while they were coming
:10:27. > :10:32.to court, they were nervous and crying and saying, this is bound to
:10:32. > :10:36.happen to us. It was on this bus that the young woman was gang raped
:10:36. > :10:41.and brutally beaten. Her injuries so severe that she died two weeks
:10:41. > :10:45.later. Her death led to an outpouring of grief and anger.

:10:50. > :10:56.This is a trial which has been closely followed, not just here in
:10:56. > :10:59.India, but across the world. The national and international media

:11:04. > :11:08.the sentence has been handed out, some people are asking, will it
:11:08. > :11:12.change things on the ground? A woman is raped in India every 20 minutes,
:11:12. > :11:20.so many believe a lot more needs to be done for that to end. We need a
:11:20. > :11:26.certainty of conviction, we need swift convictions, we do not need
:11:26. > :11:28.extreme sentences. What we need is for these crimes to stop. The

:21:29. > :21:33.audacious plot. They are calling it very sophisticated. Essentially, a
:21:33. > :21:38.man went into this branch in London posing as a maintenance engineer. He
:21:38. > :21:42.attempted to fit a device called the keyboard video mouse. Essentially,
:21:42. > :21:47.that is a black box with wires, very high-tech, which allows people to
:21:47. > :21:49.access that computer from a remote location. The Metropolitan Police
:21:50. > :21:55.say that if it had worked, they could have stolen gleams of pounds.
:21:55. > :21:58.But these men, crucially, were already on the radar of the iconic
:21:58. > :22:04.crime unit. And they had alerted the bank. The bank knew some months
:22:04. > :22:06.before the man went in there. It seems that both sides played along
:22:06. > :22:09.before the man went in there. It and yesterday, the arrested 12
:22:09. > :22:16.people. 11 of them were arrested at an office in Hounslow. They are
:22:16. > :22:19.still being questioned. What is the bank saying? Santander said this
:22:19. > :22:24.morning that they work closely with the police to prevent this kind of
:22:24. > :22:27.fraud. They say they want to point out the nonobvious staff were
:22:27. > :22:32.involved and no money was taken. No customers were at risk. Crucially,
:22:32. > :22:34.and this is what most people will want to know, Santander are say they
:22:34. > :22:38.take full responsibility for fraud like this. It had worked, no
:22:39. > :22:45.customers would have been left out of pocket. Thank you very much. 37
:22:45. > :22:48.people have died in a fire that engulfed a psychiatric fiddle in
:22:48. > :22:54.north-western Russia. A nurse trying to guide patients to safety was
:22:54. > :23:02.among the dead. The blaze, south of Saint Petersburg, may have been
:23:02. > :23:05.caused by a cigarette. There were around 60 people in the
:23:05. > :23:08.hospital when the fire broke out before three o'clock this morning.
:23:08. > :23:14.More than half of them are now dead or missing. Parts of the largely
:23:14. > :23:18.wooden buildings dated back to the 19th century. The emergencies
:23:18. > :23:24.Ministry tried recently to have it closed down because of your safety
:23:24. > :23:31.standards. But the court gave the hospital until next year to improve.
:23:31. > :23:34.Now it is a smouldering reminder of Russia's appalling fire safety
:23:34. > :23:40.records in hospitals and nursing homes. It was only five months ago
:23:40. > :23:44.that 38 people died in another fire in a wooden psychiatric hospital. At
:23:44. > :23:48.the time, President Putin called on all public bodies to pay more
:23:48. > :23:52.attention to fire safety. But it did not prevent another tragedy. This
:23:52. > :23:56.attention to fire safety. But it did fire is being taken so seriously
:23:56. > :23:59.that the head of Russia's equivalent of the FBI has personally flown to
:23:59. > :24:03.the scene to oversee the investigation. And because some
:24:04. > :24:11.patients were locked in, the death toll might have been much worse.
:24:11. > :24:16.TRANSLATION: There was a bar on the door. Why broke it with a pic. I
:24:16. > :24:25.said the patient is free. -- I broke it with a pic. Eyewitnesses say that
:24:25. > :24:29.the psychiatric patients were confused and reluctant to leave the
:24:29. > :24:34.building. Among the dead was a nurse who lost her life trying to rescue
:24:34. > :24:38.those in her care. The man in charge of the 2022 football World Cup in
:24:38. > :24:42.Qatar insists that the Gulf state is the right place for the competition
:24:42. > :24:47.despite continuing concerns over the extreme temperatures during the
:24:47. > :24:50.tournaments. FIFA is expected to stage it during
:24:50. > :24:55.the winter months to avoid the heat. That will not satisfy all critics.
:24:55. > :24:58.It was an announcement that stunned the world of football. But the
:24:59. > :25:03.fallout from awarding Qatar at the the world of football. But the
:25:03. > :25:09.2022 World Cup continues. The summer temperatures at the time the event
:25:09. > :25:15.is traditionally hurled, the protest -- traditionally held, and the
:25:15. > :25:19.process of moving the time that the event is traditionally held will
:25:19. > :25:22.begin next month. But the man organising the event insists that
:25:22. > :25:26.his region's time has come. The Middle East is the right place. We
:25:26. > :25:33.represent the Middle East. It is a Middle Eastern World Cup. The Middle
:25:33. > :25:37.East deserves to host a major tournament. 2022 will be the first
:25:37. > :25:41.World Cup in the Middle East and the plans to cope with the heat include
:25:41. > :25:46.air cooling technology, a key part of the legacy plans. Sepp Blatter
:25:46. > :25:49.thinks that Qatar can host a memorable tournament had admitted
:25:49. > :25:54.this week that a mistake may have been awarded in awarding the summer
:25:54. > :25:58.cup. Many insist that a new country should be found if the original
:25:58. > :26:02.intentions cannot be capped. But Qatar are confident that they face
:26:02. > :26:08.no threat. No one is taking this on -- off you? You think someone is
:26:08. > :26:14.quick to take it away from us? No, absolutely not. There is no reason
:26:14. > :26:19.for it. Every promise that we have made, we have worked hard to insure
:26:19. > :26:23.we were within the rules of hosting the event. At the same time, we are
:26:23. > :26:26.delivering on the promises we have made. We are working hard to deliver
:26:26. > :26:31.delivering on the promises we have it. The commitment is there. The
:26:31. > :26:33.battle lines are being drawn but Qatar are determined that their
:26:34. > :26:38.status as host nation will not be challenged.
:26:38. > :26:42.An attempt to float across the Atlantic using 370 zillion balloons
:26:42. > :26:47.has had to be abandoned because of technical problems. Jonathan Trappe
:26:47. > :26:51.left at the east coast of America yesterday but was forced to land
:26:51. > :26:57.after only 13 hours. In an online message posted from Newfoundland, he
:26:57. > :27:01.said he was safe and well. It was always going to be ambitious.
:27:01. > :27:07.As well as risky. And the touch eccentric. -- eight touch. Each of
:27:07. > :27:11.As well as risky. And the touch the helium balloons was inflated and
:27:11. > :27:16.attached to the basket to doubling as a lifeboat. Once they were
:27:16. > :27:22.secure, the Star Spangled Banner, goodbye and take off. But despite
:27:22. > :27:25.secure, the Star Spangled Banner, two years of planning, the journey
:27:25. > :27:27.did not last long. Jonathan Trappe had to abandon his trip over
:27:27. > :27:34.Newfoundland because of technical problems. He is safe and well but
:27:34. > :27:38.for now, his journey has ended. Having already used his cluster of
:27:38. > :27:41.helium balloons to travel over the Alps and the shallow, don't expect
:27:41. > :27:46.helium balloons to travel over the him to give up on an Atlantic

:27:50. > :27:54.been told to leave their homes after severe flooding in the American

:27:55. > :27:58.state of Colorado. At least three have been swept away and homes
:27:58. > :28:05.damaged following heavy rain that started on Monday. Time for a look
:28:05. > :28:09.at the weather. It is not looking too good, is it? There is a strong
:28:10. > :28:14.jet stream across the Atlantic at the moment. That will play a big
:28:14. > :28:17.part this weekend. The first big autumn low, a storm arriving on our
:28:17. > :28:26.shores on Sunday. Nothing like that today. The wind is
:28:26. > :28:29.fairly light. The South West of England and parts of Wales, pushing
:28:29. > :28:34.into Liverpool and Manchester, really quite wet this afternoon.
:28:34. > :28:39.Focusing in on that wet weather, across the south-west of England,
:28:39. > :28:43.Wales, not particularly pleasant. A lot of water on the roads and
:28:43. > :28:49.pavements. Further east, light rain and drizzle. Fairly humid, 19
:28:49. > :28:51.degrees in London. Working the way into -- working its way into
:28:51. > :28:55.Northern Ireland. Northern Ireland is looking OK. As is the East of
:28:55. > :29:01.Scotland. Further west, more cloud. is looking OK. As is the East of
:29:01. > :29:05.The main area of rain is on the move, pushing across much of
:29:05. > :29:09.northern England and onto Eastern England towards evening and
:29:09. > :29:15.overnight. That rain will still lurk towards the south-east by dawn.
:29:15. > :29:17.Further north, skies were clear and temperatures will drop away. In
:29:17. > :29:25.rural spots, we are looking at Singer figures. -- single figures.
:29:25. > :29:31.In many places, tomorrow will be a decent day. Overnight rain lingering
:29:31. > :29:35.in the south-east. Eventually, the rain will ease. For many, a bit
:29:35. > :29:40.fresher. Some spells of sunshine and rain will ease. For many, a bit
:29:40. > :29:45.the odd shower. The message has to be, make the most of Saturday
:29:45. > :29:49.because on Sunday, there is a deep Atlantic low. Lots of isobars, so it
:29:49. > :29:52.is going to be quite windy. The wind is picking up as you move into
:29:52. > :30:03.Sunday afternoon. Looking at the numbers, the wind will be up to 60
:30:03. > :30:10.mph um maybe even more. -- 60 mph, maybe even more. The temperatures
:30:10. > :30:14.are academic because it will not feel that pleasant in the wind. The
:30:14. > :30:19.great North run is happening on Sunday and the rain will set in.
:30:19. > :30:23.Notice that the wind is picking up all while. Not a day for that. The
:30:23. > :30:31.weekend, Saturday is the better of the two days. In the north and west,
:30:31. > :30:36.the Gaels will linger into Monday. Lots of sport events taking place
:30:36. > :30:40.this weekend. See how the weather impact upon those on our website.
:30:40. > :30:47.Warnings have already been issued for the weather on Sunday. A
:30:47. > :30:50.reminder of our top story. Detectives have launched a murder
:30:50. > :30:52.enquiry after a mother and three children were killed in a house fire
:30:52. > :30:52.in Leicester. That is from us.
