:01:18. > :01:41.Good evening and welcome to the BBC News at Six.

:01:42. > :01:44.Just 24 hours after a suspected chlorine gas attack was launched

:01:45. > :01:47.on the besieged Syrian city of Aleppo, the same area has been

:01:48. > :01:52.Around two million people are still trapped in the city,

:01:53. > :01:54.in desperate need of running water and food supplies.

:01:55. > :01:58.It comes as Syria's main political opposition groups and their allies

:01:59. > :02:01.met in London to try to find a way to end the civil war.

:02:02. > :02:03.Our Middle East editor Jeremy Bowen sent this report

:02:04. > :02:16.It contains images you may find distressing.

:02:17. > :02:19.Another air attack on East Aleppo which is held

:02:20. > :02:24.Civil defence workers pulled out casualties as they have done

:02:25. > :02:32.The attack was close to the place where local reports say bombs

:02:33. > :02:36.containing poisonous chlorine gas were dropped on Tuesday.

:02:37. > :02:39.The Syrian government always denies using chemical weapons,

:02:40. > :02:42.This side of the city is at the moment the government's

:02:51. > :02:53.The Syrian army has tried to surround East Aleppo to seal

:02:54. > :02:55.it off, and attempt to impose a siege and to staff

:02:56. > :02:57.out the anti-regime forces which control it.

:02:58. > :02:59.Casualties were taken to one of East Aleppo's

:03:00. > :03:02.The fighting and attempts to impose a total siege

:03:03. > :03:07.mean they are short of medical supplies.

:03:08. > :03:09.The regime blames the bloodshed on foreign countries

:03:10. > :03:15.It denies allegations it rigs elections here and says

:03:16. > :03:18.President Assad has no plans to leave office.

:03:19. > :03:20.We elected our president, we elected our

:03:21. > :03:37.But these western countries would recognise only what they want or the

:03:38. > :03:43.results they want. So we have a very strong Government, we have sustained

:03:44. > :03:48.six war, six year war against Syria, and I assure you we shall continue

:03:49. > :03:55.as long as the intervention takes place. In London, backed by Britain

:03:56. > :03:58.the Saudis and others, a Syrian opposition coalition has produced

:03:59. > :04:03.the most detailed blueprint yet. Insisting on President Assad and

:04:04. > :04:09.what it calls his clique, leaving. They don't expect a yes any time

:04:10. > :04:13.soon from Damascus. If Bashar al-Assad continues to be obstinate

:04:14. > :04:18.and continues to drag his feet and engage seriously there will have to

:04:19. > :04:22.be a plan B that would involved more stepped up military activity. This

:04:23. > :04:29.is the centre of Damascus, this part of the capital could not look more

:04:30. > :04:33.different to Aleppo. There is huge war damage a few miles way but this

:04:34. > :04:37.is the regime showcase. If the demand to step down had been

:04:38. > :04:41.delivered by victorious army at the gates of his Palace, President Assad

:04:42. > :04:46.would have had to have listened. But the way things stand now, he

:04:47. > :04:51.doesn't. The era of the Assad's in Syria seems to be far from over.

:04:52. > :04:55.Hair-raising rescue journeys have been happening every day for more

:04:56. > :05:01.than five years. These were civil defence workers in rebel held east

:05:02. > :05:04.Aleppo racing to save casualty -- casualties in Tuesday's attack local

:05:05. > :05:09.reports say contained chemical chlorine gas. One Syrian general I

:05:10. > :05:15.have spoken to said the war could get much longer. Perhaps another ten

:05:16. > :05:18.Our chief international correspondent Lyse Doucet

:05:19. > :05:20.is in London, where the meeting between Syrian Opposition groups

:05:21. > :05:31.Given what Jeremy was saying, is there any hope that a solution to

:05:32. > :05:35.Syria's war can be found? Syria desperately needs a war out of this

:05:36. > :05:39.crisis but no-one anywhere expects a political process to start any time

:05:40. > :05:43.soon. The warring sides leaf live in different world, in Damascus they

:05:44. > :05:47.are calling this new political plan crazy, here at the Foreign Office in

:05:48. > :05:52.London, the opposition and their backers say it is the best political

:05:53. > :05:58.and security transition plan to move towards a new future in Syria, and

:05:59. > :06:01.critically, would avoid the kind of political things we have seen in

:06:02. > :06:07.neighbouring states like in Iraq and Libya. Today I can say in the last

:06:08. > :06:12.hour, we are getting new reports that in Geneva, the US Secretary of

:06:13. > :06:16.State John Kerry is making some progress in the effort to try to

:06:17. > :06:22.agree a temporary truce. There is now talk again of a possible deal

:06:23. > :06:25.this week, if, if they achieve their temporary truce it will perhaps give

:06:26. > :06:29.a few moments of calm in a few places.

:06:30. > :06:36.But nothing, nothing is in sight to end this devastating war.

:06:37. > :06:37.The Paralympics get underway in Rio tonight.

:06:38. > :06:40.More than 260 British athletes will take part in 19 sports

:06:41. > :06:44.The organisers say they're confident that Rio is ready, despite the build

:06:45. > :06:47.up that's been marred by poor ticket sales and funding problems.

:06:48. > :06:55.Our correspondent Nikki Fox is in Rio.

:06:56. > :07:02.Sophie, we are four hours Wray from the opening certain anyof the 15th

:07:03. > :07:06.summer Paralympic Games, despite the problems and there have been some

:07:07. > :07:10.serious problems, all the venues have been built and crucially, all

:07:11. > :07:15.the athletes will be here. The funding crisis we know about has led

:07:16. > :07:18.some to question whether it is possible for the Paralympic movement

:07:19. > :07:21.to capitalise on the success of London 2012. Please be warned my

:07:22. > :07:23.report contains flashing images. Please be warned my report

:07:24. > :07:25.contains flashing images. Just over two weeks since the flame

:07:26. > :07:28.was put out on South America's The city's most iconic landmark has

:07:29. > :07:33.been lit up once more. But this time it is in the colours

:07:34. > :07:36.of the Paralympics. Expectations were high

:07:37. > :07:39.following London 2012, undoubtedly the most successful

:07:40. > :07:41.Paralympic games to date. The record number of tickets sold

:07:42. > :07:48.and more people tuning in than ever before,

:07:49. > :07:52.the Paralympic movement But the build-up to Rio has been

:07:53. > :08:01.beset with serious problems. A month ago when the International

:08:02. > :08:05.Olympic Committee revealed there was no money, many feared

:08:06. > :08:07.the Paralympic movement We should not be taking

:08:08. > :08:12.out our begging bowls. We understand that people are living

:08:13. > :08:15.in difficult times but what we don't understand is why we have to be

:08:16. > :08:21.an afterthought every time. Why should these Games be

:08:22. > :08:23.staged on a shoestring? Despite emergency measures

:08:24. > :08:26.like moving a fence and reducing transport facilities,

:08:27. > :08:32.ticket sales are on the up, There will be no team not

:08:33. > :08:45.here because of lack of money. The Paralympic movement has come

:08:46. > :08:49.together as has the people of the world, the people

:08:50. > :08:51.of Britain in particular, as I know from when

:08:52. > :08:53.I was back there. No one was going to let

:08:54. > :08:56.the Paralympics die here. For the British team

:08:57. > :08:58.and their famous faces, their one and only

:08:59. > :09:01.concern now is winning. People might be looking negative

:09:02. > :09:04.but I think everyone will be presently surprised and when people

:09:05. > :09:06.see the performances of British athletes especially,

:09:07. > :09:08.going out and getting gold medals, Over 4000 athletes from more

:09:09. > :09:15.than 160 countries will join The Games are about to begin,

:09:16. > :09:23.but perhaps here in Rio the Paralympic movement has already

:09:24. > :09:25.passed its hardest test. There have been angry

:09:26. > :09:39.exchanges at Sport Direct's annual general meeting,

:09:40. > :09:41.with shareholders expressing frustration at the way

:09:42. > :09:43.the company is run. The founder and majority

:09:44. > :09:45.shareholder, Mike Ashley, has been criticised by MPs

:09:46. > :09:47.for what they called "Victorian" working practices and payments

:09:48. > :09:50.below the minimum wage. Our business correspondent

:09:51. > :09:51.Emma Simpson was there Welcome to Sports Direct HQ

:09:52. > :10:02.and its billionaire founder who has opened the doors to lead us

:10:03. > :10:08.on the tour. Clearly I could have

:10:09. > :10:12.done a better job. A charm offensive

:10:13. > :10:18.at breakneck speed. And then he emptied his pockets

:10:19. > :10:20.to show how they do around But it was always going to be harder

:10:21. > :10:40.to impress this lot, the shareholders, who came

:10:41. > :10:43.to have their say at the AGM. Sports Direct has had a difficult

:10:44. > :10:46.year and it needs to put We believe a change in the corporate

:10:47. > :10:50.governance in the board composition I will be supporting

:10:51. > :10:54.an independent inquiry. Into the way in which this

:10:55. > :10:58.company does its business, because I think it's

:10:59. > :11:02.unsustainable and exploitative. The chairman Keith Hellawell

:11:03. > :11:07.conciliatory, admitting that the way the company had acted had been

:11:08. > :11:15.embarrassing at times. But Mike Ashley looked glum

:11:16. > :11:18.and he clashed with the Unite union reps, saying, "Don't put me

:11:19. > :11:22.down, it doesn't help". While corporate shareholders pressed

:11:23. > :11:26.for changes at the top. And they voted for

:11:27. > :11:28.the chairman to go, I believe that in 12

:11:29. > :11:37.months' time we will see that he does have the confidence

:11:38. > :11:40.of the independent investors because I believe that we should be

:11:41. > :11:43.given time to work on the areas of the business where

:11:44. > :11:47.we have had shortcomings. It is a damning blow from investors

:11:48. > :11:50.but with a majority stake Mike Ashley ultimately calls

:11:51. > :11:52.the shots and he seems The BBC has learned that the chief

:11:53. > :12:04.executive who resigned as head of the troubled mental health trust,

:12:05. > :12:06.Southern Health, has had a new job created for her -

:12:07. > :12:09.with a salary of almost Katrina Percy stepped down

:12:10. > :12:12.from her previous role, after it emerged that hundreds

:12:13. > :12:17.of deaths hadn't been investigated. This is what the Trust told

:12:18. > :12:21.the BBC's David Fenton. Did that new job exist before

:12:22. > :12:23.Katrina took it? Did you advertise that job

:12:24. > :12:28.so other people could apply? Was she the only

:12:29. > :12:39.candidate? To many people, that

:12:40. > :12:54.will sound like a fix. Our sober affairs correspondent is

:12:55. > :12:57.here. All rather awkward for the trust It's a complete mess, bear in

:12:58. > :13:02.mind that Katrina Percy is the only executive it has had since it was

:13:03. > :13:08.created in 2011, there were two highly damaging and critical reports

:13:09. > :13:11.that were published in the past few Mondays highlighting care failings

:13:12. > :13:15.at southern health, problems that the report say were cribbed to by

:13:16. > :13:19.poor leadership an management. Bear in mind people have died after

:13:20. > :13:25.management were told the units were unsafe for people who were, had

:13:26. > :13:29.contemplated suicide, so when people see Katrina Percy resigning and

:13:30. > :13:33.being given this role on the same salary they think this is unfair.

:13:34. > :13:37.Lots of people have said why don't they just sack her? The answer I am

:13:38. > :13:41.hearing they fear they would lose any subsequent court case, if she

:13:42. > :13:45.decided to take them to an employment tribunal she may well win

:13:46. > :13:49.it, and that would be because despite the care failings we have

:13:50. > :13:53.seen, they don't think that Katrina Percy ispersonly responsible for

:13:54. > :14:00.them, but despite the chairman in that interview saying she was

:14:01. > :14:08.uniquely qualified she will be gone in 12 months.

:14:09. > :14:12.Viewers in the south will be able to see a documentary on this later

:14:13. > :14:15.tonight and on the BBC News channel at 8.30.

:14:16. > :14:17.The Governor of the Bank of England, Mark Carney, has denied exaggerating

:14:18. > :14:20.economic warnings in the run-up to the EU referendum.

:14:21. > :14:22.Mr Carney told MPs on the Treasury Select Committee that the bank's

:14:23. > :14:26.actions since the vote had helped to mitigate the impact of the vote,

:14:27. > :14:28.and he had not added to the fear factor.

:14:29. > :14:31.Here's our economics editor, Kamal Ahmed.

:14:32. > :14:36.A slowdown, possibly a recession, if Britain voted to leave

:14:37. > :14:42.Before the referendum in June the governor was in warning mode.

:14:43. > :14:45.Of course there is a range of possible scenarios

:14:46. > :14:51.Which could possibly include a technical recession.

:14:52. > :14:52.Could possibly technically include that.

:14:53. > :14:55.Now, after the Bank of England cut interest rates and some

:14:56. > :14:57.positive economic figures, Mark Carney was talking not

:14:58. > :15:03.I'm quite comfortable with the analysis we did in advance

:15:04. > :15:06.and the preparation we did in advance and the effectiveness

:15:07. > :15:10.of the contingency measures, all of which put us in a position

:15:11. > :15:17.to help the economy adjust and help, if I can bring it back to the issue

:15:18. > :15:20.at the heart of the referendum, to help make the leaving

:15:21. > :15:24.of the European Union a success as quickly as possible.

:15:25. > :15:29.With almost icy politeness,

:15:30. > :15:32.Jacob Rees Mogg, who backed Brexit,

:15:33. > :15:38.The Bank of England was contributing to a

:15:39. > :15:41.fear in the market about what would

:15:42. > :15:43.happen in the event of Brexit, which

:15:44. > :15:47.That seems to me to be at the heart of the problem.

:15:48. > :15:50.We were absolutely clear about the risk, that is our

:15:51. > :15:52.job, we charge by Parliament to do that.

:15:53. > :15:55.The next step is not just to

:15:56. > :16:03.We have made the crystallisation of those risks less likely.

:16:04. > :16:05.Mark Carney said he welcomed evidence of an

:16:06. > :16:12.As a barometer of investor confidence in the UK economy,

:16:13. > :16:18.the value of the pound against the dollar is a pretty good guide.

:16:19. > :16:25.Before the referendum, sterling was riding high -

:16:26. > :16:27.one pound was worth $1.50 on the markets.

:16:28. > :16:29.After the Brexit vote, the pound's value plunged to $1.28.

:16:30. > :16:31.Good for exports - not so good for imports,

:16:32. > :16:38.such as food and energy, which become more expensive.

:16:39. > :16:40.Since then, the pound has seen some volatility,

:16:41. > :16:44.Investors are feeling more confident, as the threat

:16:45. > :17:09.Residents of the besieged Syrian city of Aleppo are bombed just hours

:17:10. > :17:30.It is British, raw. I never thought it would get this big. But don't get

:17:31. > :17:33.confused, because now grime is on the six o'clock news.

:17:34. > :17:36.Coming up in Sportsday in the next 15 minutes on BBC News.

:17:37. > :17:37.Bernie Ecclestone says he'll still be involved

:17:38. > :17:48.in the running of Formula One even if there's a takeover.

:17:49. > :17:50.Hundreds of thousands of passengers using trains in London, Sussex,

:17:51. > :17:53.Surrey and Hampshire have once again had their journeys disrupted by a 48

:17:54. > :18:03.It's the fifth strike since April - in a bitter dispute with the RMT

:18:04. > :18:07.Our Transport Correspondent Richard Westcott reports.

:18:08. > :18:10.After five walk-outs in six months, strikes are almost becoming routine

:18:11. > :18:20.This is one of the morning services that will eventually

:18:21. > :18:29.You can see it's not horrendously busy.

:18:30. > :18:31.On strike days some people make other plans.

:18:32. > :18:33.But passengers on Southern were already experiencing

:18:34. > :18:35.some of the worst delays and cancellations in the country,

:18:36. > :18:41.Week after week it's the same thing all the time.

:18:42. > :18:42.It's extremely tiring and inconvenient.

:18:43. > :18:45.I have no idea what time I'll get home this evening.

:18:46. > :18:47.Are you getting used to strikes then?

:18:48. > :18:49.Yes, the past couple of weeks I've been coming home 40

:18:50. > :18:52.minutes late and the train is just constantly delayed.

:18:53. > :18:53.Not necessarily striking, but late all the time.

:18:54. > :18:58.The company wants more drivers rather than the on board guards

:18:59. > :19:04.It's an absolutely safety critical role and we can't allow the trains

:19:05. > :19:06.to be travelling without any guard on board.

:19:07. > :19:11.We have to have longer trains, and new trains.

:19:12. > :19:13.And we need to improve the performance.

:19:14. > :19:15.And we know doing that through driver-only operation

:19:16. > :19:20.London Underground has driver-only trains.

:19:21. > :19:27.Nearly half of Southern's services already use the system

:19:28. > :19:29.and the industry's safety body says it's not dangerous.

:19:30. > :19:33.We wanted to get a driver's view but we have kept him anonymous

:19:34. > :19:35.in case speaking out gets him in trouble.

:19:36. > :19:38.He told us it comes down to the different camera systems

:19:39. > :19:43.The cameras are mounted three inches from the body of our trains

:19:44. > :19:51.They were using cameras mounted on the platform itself.

:19:52. > :19:54.And this gives an offset view so we could see the doors.

:19:55. > :19:59.Nothing is going to replace the guard who can step

:20:00. > :20:01.off the train and deal with the passengers directly.

:20:02. > :20:07.The government wants more driver-only trains to cut costs.

:20:08. > :20:14.Whatever happens on Southern sets the tone for all our rail

:20:15. > :20:26.A brief look at some of the day's other other news stories.

:20:27. > :20:27.Scotland's First Minister has criticised the UK government

:20:28. > :20:30.for maintaining a "cloud of secrecy" around its plans for

:20:31. > :20:33.Earlier today, the Prime Minister, Theresa May refused to give

:20:34. > :20:35.what she called a "running commentary" on the talks

:20:36. > :20:38.when pressed for details on plans for membership of the single market.

:20:39. > :20:40.But Nicola Strugeon said "there must be greater transparency"

:20:41. > :20:48.In rugby union - Warren Gatland has been named British and Irish Lions

:20:52. > :20:54.He'll temporarily relinquish his role coaching Wales.

:20:55. > :20:58.The Lions have not won a series against New Zealand since 1971.

:20:59. > :21:04.One of the UK's tallest concrete structures has been demolished.

:21:05. > :21:08.The 244-metre chimney at a defunct power station on the Isle of Grain

:21:09. > :21:13.in Kent was detonated earlier creating 40,000 tonnes of rubble.

:21:14. > :21:17.It was taller than 55 double-decker buses stacked on top of each -

:21:22. > :21:32.Yesterday 50 children were turned away from Hartsdown Academy

:21:39. > :21:41.all in the right uniform, according to school policy.

:21:42. > :21:45.But around 70 children have been sent home for the wrong uniform.

:21:46. > :21:49.Causing scenes of angry parents at the school gate.

:21:50. > :21:53.This is the second day at home for Kimberly Hopper.

:21:54. > :21:58.I'm very angry because I came in on Tuesday and was ready

:21:59. > :22:06.I then got given a letter and sent home.

:22:07. > :22:11.Now her father is considering moving her to another school entirely.

:22:12. > :22:14.My daughter was at school perfectly dressed, suitable for everything,

:22:15. > :22:16.suitable for a day's worth of education.

:22:17. > :22:24.The school says some pupils have turned up wearing tracksuits

:22:25. > :22:28.and trainers that cost far more than school uniform.

:22:29. > :22:33.It's not about money, but raising expectations.

:22:34. > :22:37.At this school in Margate 75% of pupils failed

:22:38. > :22:42.The headteacher says adhering to a strict uniform code

:22:43. > :22:48.would raise standards, much needed in coastal towns.

:22:49. > :22:52.Can children not still succeed without the right uniform?

:22:53. > :22:54.Actually taking a stand where we say we care

:22:55. > :22:56.about you so much that even uniform, these things matter

:22:57. > :23:01.It makes sure children believe in themselves and in the school,

:23:02. > :23:07.However, this stance has taken us a huge step towards that.

:23:08. > :23:16.Pupils will continue to be turned away until standards are met.

:23:17. > :23:22.It's driven by social media - and it's taking the world by storm.

:23:23. > :23:25.Grime - a unique mash-up of musical influences - started in East London

:23:26. > :23:29.around 15 years ago, and is now more popular than ever.

:23:30. > :23:31.Tonight our correspondent Colleen Harris is at

:23:32. > :23:45.This is where it happens tonight, this is the rehearsal for the rated

:23:46. > :23:51.awards where the top people will be seeking recognition. Next week two

:23:52. > :23:56.of the biggest stars of grime will be up for the Mercury awards but the

:23:57. > :23:59.very appeal of the music is its independence, from corporations and

:24:00. > :24:04.the establishment, but it is still breaking through into mainstream

:24:05. > :24:07.territory and the world is taking notice.

:24:08. > :24:09.It's British, it's raw, it's from the streets.

:24:10. > :24:24.What punk was to rock, grime is to hip-hop.

:24:25. > :24:28.Less about champagne and fast cars, more about life on the margins.

:24:29. > :24:35.# That's not me, and it's shut down #.

:24:36. > :24:38.This home-grown scene has emerged without big record label backing

:24:39. > :24:47.and at times has been criticised for being too aggressive, too dark.

:24:48. > :24:50.But with Mercury award nominations for MCs Skepta and Kano,

:24:51. > :24:54.along with big brand sponsorships knocking on the door,

:24:55. > :25:27.She is one of the few female MCs and is from Birmingham.

:25:28. > :25:29.New artists in the scene have brought something very refreshing

:25:30. > :25:32.to the scene and people are like, grime is popping again,

:25:33. > :25:39.Social media is one of the best things that could have

:25:40. > :25:44.Or someone who wants to start writing.

:25:45. > :25:48.You pick up your phone and that is all your supporters

:25:49. > :25:56.How much has social media driven the movement of grime?

:25:57. > :26:00.I think grime has been very good at harnessing what digital

:26:01. > :26:02.media is and can be, and translating that not only

:26:03. > :26:07.into followers, but into ticket sales and album sales.

:26:08. > :26:15.For many on the underground scene, it's growth and appeal

:26:16. > :26:18.to new audiences has attracted commercial interest.

:26:19. > :26:21.The brands want to reach out to the people that these artists

:26:22. > :26:29.Obviously this is a very youthful audience.

:26:30. > :26:31.And naturally brands are going to love that

:26:32. > :26:33.and want to associate themselves with the music.

:26:34. > :26:41.They can get direct access to the consumer.

:26:42. > :26:43.This grimy sound, now shaping up to secure its place

:26:44. > :26:57.It is hot out there, the last day of summer? This could be the swansong

:26:58. > :27:08.of summer, but too early to call. It has been 30 in some places, the

:27:09. > :27:13.hottest day in Guernsey for more than 30 years. Things are about to

:27:14. > :27:18.change in terms of the feel of the weather, and this evening we have a

:27:19. > :27:21.weather front coming to western parts, more cloud and some rain for

:27:22. > :27:25.Northern Ireland and western Scotland, that could be quite heavy.

:27:26. > :27:32.Clearer skies ahead of that. One more warm and muggy like to come,

:27:33. > :27:34.because the weather front is changing and introducing cooler air

:27:35. > :27:40.from the Atlantic and we are losing the humidity. The feel of the muggy

:27:41. > :27:45.weather from the continent. The weather front moves through,

:27:46. > :27:49.outbreaks of rain mostly for Northern England and into Scotland,

:27:50. > :27:53.and further south the occasional spot, and then a few showers to

:27:54. > :27:56.Northern Ireland and western Scotland where it will be very

:27:57. > :28:04.windy. Breezy day for the Channel Islands. Not as hot tomorrow. For

:28:05. > :28:07.England and Wales mainly dry in the afternoon, and some good sunny

:28:08. > :28:15.spells and the fresher feel. Breezy and quite windy, the Irish sea,

:28:16. > :28:19.maybe gusts around 50 mph. Some rain moving north through the Northern

:28:20. > :28:23.Isles. Maybe some rain coming to western parts of the UK later.

:28:24. > :28:27.Friday we are left with a few showers and a more substantial

:28:28. > :28:30.weather system coming to Northern Ireland and western Scotland to end

:28:31. > :28:36.Friday and that means heavy rain again and stronger winds. And all of

:28:37. > :28:40.that is sweeping East across the UK and so we will all have a spell of

:28:41. > :28:44.heavy rain for time. We will keep you up-to-date regarding the weekend

:28:45. > :28:47.but it is looking decidedly mixed.
