Targeted again - residents of a besieged Syrian city | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
are bombed just hours after a suspected gas attack. | :00:07. | :00:15. | |
Another young victim of Syria's five year long civil war, | :00:16. | :00:18. | |
as part of rebel held Aleppo are hit again. | :00:19. | :00:20. | |
As the attacks continue, opposition groups meet in London | :00:21. | :00:22. | |
We'll have the latest from our Middle East editor, | :00:23. | :00:28. | |
The Paralympics get underway in Rio tonight, with high hopes | :00:29. | :00:35. | |
for Britain's athletes, despite a difficult run | :00:36. | :00:37. | |
When people see the performances of British athletes, | :00:38. | :00:40. | |
especially going out and getting gold medals, I think it | :00:41. | :00:43. | |
Nowhere to hide - the owner of Sports Direct faces a shareholder | :00:44. | :00:48. | |

Sent home for her black suede shoes - can school uniform | :00:55. | :00:56. | |

The Lions look to Warren Gatland once again. | :01:13. | :01:14. | |
Triumphant against Australia three years ago, he will lead them | :01:15. | :01:17. | |
Good evening and welcome to the BBC News at Six. | :01:18. | :01:41. | |
Just 24 hours after a suspected chlorine gas attack was launched | :01:42. | :01:44. | |
on the besieged Syrian city of Aleppo, the same area has been | :01:45. | :01:47. | |
Around two million people are still trapped in the city, | :01:48. | :01:52. | |
in desperate need of running water and food supplies. | :01:53. | :01:54. | |
It comes as Syria's main political opposition groups and their allies | :01:55. | :01:58. | |
met in London to try to find a way to end the civil war. | :01:59. | :02:01. | |
Our Middle East editor Jeremy Bowen sent this report | :02:02. | :02:03. | |
It contains images you may find distressing. | :02:04. | :02:16. | |
Another air attack on East Aleppo which is held | :02:17. | :02:19. | |
Civil defence workers pulled out casualties as they have done | :02:20. | :02:24. | |
The attack was close to the place where local reports say bombs | :02:25. | :02:32. | |
containing poisonous chlorine gas were dropped on Tuesday. | :02:33. | :02:36. | |
The Syrian government always denies using chemical weapons, | :02:37. | :02:39. | |
This side of the city is at the moment the government's | :02:40. | :02:42. | |
The Syrian army has tried to surround the East Aleppo to seal | :02:43. | :02:50. | |
The Syrian army has tried to surround East Aleppo to seal | :02:51. | :02:53. | |
it off, and attempt to impose a siege and to staff | :02:54. | :02:55. | |
out the anti-regime forces which control it. | :02:56. | :02:57. | |
Casualties were taken to one of East Aleppo's | :02:58. | :02:59. | |
The fighting and attempts to impose a total siege | :03:00. | :03:02. | |
mean they are short of medical supplies. | :03:03. | :03:07. | |
The regime blames the bloodshed on foreign countries | :03:08. | :03:09. | |
It denies allegations it rigs elections here and says | :03:10. | :03:15. | |
President Assad has no plans to leave office. | :03:16. | :03:18. | |
We elected our president, we elected our | :03:19. | :03:20. | |
But these western countries would recognise only what they want or the | :03:21. | :03:37. | |
results they want. So we have a very strong Government, we have sustained | :03:38. | :03:43. | |
six war, six year war against Syria, and I assure you we shall continue | :03:44. | :03:48. | |
as long as the intervention takes place. In London, backed by Britain | :03:49. | :03:55. | |
the Saudis and others, a Syrian opposition coalition has produced | :03:56. | :03:58. | |
the most detailed blueprint yet. Insisting on President Assad and | :03:59. | :04:03. | |
what it calls his clique, leaving. They don't expect a yes any time | :04:04. | :04:09. | |
soon from Damascus. If Bashar al-Assad continues to be obstinate | :04:10. | :04:13. | |
and continues to drag his feet and engage seriously there will have to | :04:14. | :04:18. | |
be a plan B that would involved more stepped up military activity. This | :04:19. | :04:22. | |
is the centre of Damascus, this part of the capital could not look more | :04:23. | :04:29. | |
different to Aleppo. There is huge war damage a few miles way but this | :04:30. | :04:33. | |
is the regime showcase. If the demand to step down had been | :04:34. | :04:37. | |
delivered by victorious army at the gates of his Palace, President Assad | :04:38. | :04:41. | |
would have had to have listened. But the way things stand now, he | :04:42. | :04:46. | |
doesn't. The era of the Assad's in Syria seems to be far from over. | :04:47. | :04:51. | |
Hair-raising rescue journeys have been happening every day for more | :04:52. | :04:55. | |
than five years. These were civil defence workers in rebel held east | :04:56. | :05:01. | |
Aleppo racing to save casualty -- casualties in Tuesday's attack local | :05:02. | :05:04. | |
reports say contained chemical chlorine gas. One Syrian general I | :05:05. | :05:09. | |
have spoken to said the war could get much longer. Perhaps another ten | :05:10. | :05:15. | |
Our chief international correspondent Lyse Doucet | :05:16. | :05:18. | |
is in London, where the meeting between Syrian Opposition groups | :05:19. | :05:20. | |
Given what Jeremy was saying, is there any hope that a solution to | :05:21. | :05:31. | |
Syria's war can be found? Syria desperately needs a war out of this | :05:32. | :05:35. | |
crisis but no-one anywhere expects a political process to start any time | :05:36. | :05:39. | |
soon. The warring sides leaf live in different world, in Damascus they | :05:40. | :05:43. | |
are calling this new political plan crazy, here at the Foreign Office in | :05:44. | :05:47. | |
London, the opposition and their backers say it is the best political | :05:48. | :05:52. | |
and security transition plan to move towards a new future in Syria, and | :05:53. | :05:58. | |
critically, would avoid the kind of political things we have seen in | :05:59. | :06:01. | |
neighbouring states like in Iraq and Libya. Today I can say in the last | :06:02. | :06:07. | |
hour, we are getting new reports that in Geneva, the US Secretary of | :06:08. | :06:12. | |
State John Kerry is making some progress in the effort to try to | :06:13. | :06:16. | |
agree a temporary truce. There is now talk again of a possible deal | :06:17. | :06:22. | |
this week, if, if they achieve their temporary truce it will perhaps give | :06:23. | :06:25. | |
a few moments of calm in a few places. | :06:26. | :06:29. | |
But nothing, nothing is in sight to end this devastating war. | :06:30. | :06:36. | |
The Paralympics get underway in Rio tonight. | :06:37. | :06:37. | |
More than 260 British athletes will take part in 19 sports | :06:38. | :06:40. | |
The organisers say they're confident that Rio is ready, despite the build | :06:41. | :06:44. | |
up that's been marred by poor ticket sales and funding problems. | :06:45. | :06:47. | |
Our correspondent Nikki Fox is in Rio. | :06:48. | :06:55. | |
Sophie, we are four hours Wray from the opening certain anyof the 15th | :06:56. | :07:02. | |
summer Paralympic Games, despite the problems and there have been some | :07:03. | :07:06. | |
serious problems, all the venues have been built and crucially, all | :07:07. | :07:10. | |
the athletes will be here. The funding crisis we know about has led | :07:11. | :07:15. | |
some to question whether it is possible for the Paralympic movement | :07:16. | :07:18. | |
to capitalise on the success of London 2012. Please be warned my | :07:19. | :07:21. | |
report contains flashing images. Please be warned my report | :07:22. | :07:23. | |
contains flashing images. Just over two weeks since the flame | :07:24. | :07:25. | |
was put out on South America's The city's most iconic landmark has | :07:26. | :07:28. | |
been lit up once more. But this time it is in the colours | :07:29. | :07:33. | |
of the Paralympics. Expectations were high | :07:34. | :07:36. | |
following London 2012, undoubtedly the most successful | :07:37. | :07:39. | |
Paralympic games to date. The record number of tickets sold | :07:40. | :07:41. | |
and more people tuning in than ever before, | :07:42. | :07:48. | |
the Paralympic movement But the build-up to Rio has been | :07:49. | :07:52. | |
beset with serious problems. A month ago when the International | :07:53. | :08:01. | |
Olympic Committee revealed there was no money, many feared | :08:02. | :08:05. | |
the Paralympic movement We should not be taking | :08:06. | :08:07. | |
out our begging bowls. We understand that people are living | :08:08. | :08:12. | |
in difficult times but what we don't understand is why we have to be | :08:13. | :08:15. | |
an afterthought every time. Why should these Games be | :08:16. | :08:21. | |
staged on a shoestring? Despite emergency measures | :08:22. | :08:23. | |
like moving a fence and reducing transport facilities, | :08:24. | :08:26. | |
ticket sales are on the up, There will be no team not | :08:27. | :08:32. | |
here because of lack of money. The Paralympic movement has come | :08:33. | :08:45. | |
together as has the people of the world, the people | :08:46. | :08:49. | |
of Britain in particular, as I know from when | :08:50. | :08:51. | |
I was back there. No one was going to let | :08:52. | :08:53. | |
the Paralympics die here. For the British team | :08:54. | :08:56. | |
and their famous faces, their one and only | :08:57. | :08:58. | |
concern now is winning. People might be looking negative | :08:59. | :09:01. | |
but I think everyone will be presently surprised and when people | :09:02. | :09:04. | |
see the performances of British athletes especially, | :09:05. | :09:06. | |
going out and getting gold medals, Over 4000 athletes from more | :09:07. | :09:08. | |
than 160 countries will join The Games are about to begin, | :09:09. | :09:15. | |
but perhaps here in Rio the Paralympic movement has already | :09:16. | :09:23. | |
passed its hardest test. There have been angry | :09:24. | :09:25. | |
exchanges at Sport Direct's annual general meeting, | :09:26. | :09:39. | |
with shareholders expressing frustration at the way | :09:40. | :09:41. | |
the company is run. The founder and majority | :09:42. | :09:43. | |
shareholder, Mike Ashley, has been criticised by MPs | :09:44. | :09:45. | |
for what they called "Victorian" working practices and payments | :09:46. | :09:47. | |
below the minimum wage. Our business correspondent | :09:48. | :09:50. | |
Emma Simpson was there Welcome to Sports Direct HQ | :09:51. | :09:51. | |
and its billionaire founder who has opened the doors to lead us | :09:52. | :10:02. | |
on the tour. Clearly I could have | :10:03. | :10:08. | |
done a better job. A charm offensive | :10:09. | :10:12. | |
at breakneck speed. And then he emptied his pockets | :10:13. | :10:18. | |
to show how they do around But it was always going to be harder | :10:19. | :10:20. | |
to impress this lot, the shareholders, who came | :10:21. | :10:40. | |
to have their say at the AGM. Sports Direct has had a difficult | :10:41. | :10:43. | |
year and it needs to put We believe a change in the corporate | :10:44. | :10:46. | |
governance in the board composition I will be supporting | :10:47. | :10:50. | |
an independent inquiry. Into the way in which this | :10:51. | :10:54. | |
company does its business, because I think it's | :10:55. | :10:58. | |
unsustainable and exploitative. The chairman Keith Hellawell | :10:59. | :11:02. | |
conciliatory, admitting that the way the company had acted had been | :11:03. | :11:07. | |
embarrassing at times. But Mike Ashley looked glum | :11:08. | :11:15. | |
and he clashed with the Unite union reps, saying, "Don't put me | :11:16. | :11:18. | |
down, it doesn't help". While corporate shareholders pressed | :11:19. | :11:22. | |
for changes at the top. And they voted for | :11:23. | :11:26. | |
the chairman to go, I believe that in 12 | :11:27. | :11:28. | |
months' time we will see that he does have the confidence | :11:29. | :11:37. | |
of the independent investors because I believe that we should be | :11:38. | :11:40. | |
given time to work on the areas of the business where | :11:41. | :11:43. | |
we have had shortcomings. It is a damning blow from investors | :11:44. | :11:47. | |
but with a majority stake Mike Ashley ultimately calls | :11:48. | :11:50. | |
the shots and he seems The BBC has learned that the chief | :11:51. | :11:52. | |
executive who resigned as head of the troubled mental health trust, | :11:53. | :12:04. | |
Southern Health, has had a new job created for her - | :12:05. | :12:06. | |
with a salary of almost Katrina Percy stepped down | :12:07. | :12:09. | |
from her previous role, after it emerged that hundreds | :12:10. | :12:12. | |
of deaths hadn't been investigated. This is what the Trust told | :12:13. | :12:17. | |
the BBC's David Fenton. Did that new job exist before | :12:18. | :12:21. | |
Katrina took it? Did you advertise that job | :12:22. | :12:23. | |
so other people could apply? Was she the only | :12:24. | :12:28. | |
candidate? To many people, that | :12:29. | :12:39. | |
will sound like a fix. Our sober affairs correspondent is | :12:40. | :12:54. | |
here. All rather awkward for the trust It's a complete mess, bear in | :12:55. | :12:57. | |
mind that Katrina Percy is the only executive it has had since it was | :12:58. | :13:02. | |
created in 2011, there were two highly damaging and critical reports | :13:03. | :13:08. | |
that were published in the past few Mondays highlighting care failings | :13:09. | :13:11. | |
at southern health, problems that the report say were cribbed to by | :13:12. | :13:15. | |
poor leadership an management. Bear in mind people have died after | :13:16. | :13:19. | |
management were told the units were unsafe for people who were, had | :13:20. | :13:25. | |
contemplated suicide, so when people see Katrina Percy resigning and | :13:26. | :13:29. | |
being given this role on the same salary they think this is unfair. | :13:30. | :13:33. | |
Lots of people have said why don't they just sack her? The answer I am | :13:34. | :13:37. | |
hearing they fear they would lose any subsequent court case, if she | :13:38. | :13:41. | |
decided to take them to an employment tribunal she may well win | :13:42. | :13:45. | |
it, and that would be because despite the care failings we have | :13:46. | :13:49. | |
seen, they don't think that Katrina Percy ispersonly responsible for | :13:50. | :13:53. | |
them, but despite the chairman in that interview saying she was | :13:54. | :14:00. | |
uniquely qualified she will be gone in 12 months. | :14:01. | :14:08. | |
Viewers in the south will be able to see a documentary on this later | :14:09. | :14:12. | |
tonight and on the BBC News channel at 8.30. | :14:13. | :14:15. | |
The Governor of the Bank of England, Mark Carney, has denied exaggerating | :14:16. | :14:17. | |
economic warnings in the run-up to the EU referendum. | :14:18. | :14:20. | |
Mr Carney told MPs on the Treasury Select Committee that the bank's | :14:21. | :14:22. | |
actions since the vote had helped to mitigate the impact of the vote, | :14:23. | :14:26. | |
and he had not added to the fear factor. | :14:27. | :14:28. | |
Here's our economics editor, Kamal Ahmed. | :14:29. | :14:31. | |
A slowdown, possibly a recession, if Britain voted to leave | :14:32. | :14:36. | |
Before the referendum in June the governor was in warning mode. | :14:37. | :14:42. | |
Of course there is a range of possible scenarios | :14:43. | :14:45. | |
Which could possibly include a technical recession. | :14:46. | :14:51. | |
Could possibly technically include that. | :14:52. | :14:52. | |
Now, after the Bank of England cut interest rates and some | :14:53. | :14:55. | |
positive economic figures, Mark Carney was talking not | :14:56. | :14:57. | |
I'm quite comfortable with the analysis we did in advance | :14:58. | :15:03. | |
and the preparation we did in advance and the effectiveness | :15:04. | :15:06. | |
of the contingency measures, all of which put us in a position | :15:07. | :15:10. | |
to help the economy adjust and help, if I can bring it back to the issue | :15:11. | :15:17. | |
at the heart of the referendum, to help make the leaving | :15:18. | :15:20. | |
of the European Union a success as quickly as possible. | :15:21. | :15:24. | |
With almost icy politeness, | :15:25. | :15:29. | |
Jacob Rees Mogg, who backed Brexit, | :15:30. | :15:32. | |
The Bank of England was contributing to a | :15:33. | :15:38. | |
fear in the market about what would | :15:39. | :15:41. | |
happen in the event of Brexit, which | :15:42. | :15:43. | |
That seems to me to be at the heart of the problem. | :15:44. | :15:47. | |
We were absolutely clear about the risk, that is our | :15:48. | :15:50. | |
job, we charge by Parliament to do that. | :15:51. | :15:52. | |
The next step is not just to | :15:53. | :15:55. | |
We have made the crystallisation of those risks less likely. | :15:56. | :16:03. | |
Mark Carney said he welcomed evidence of an | :16:04. | :16:05. | |
As a barometer of investor confidence in the UK economy, | :16:06. | :16:12. | |
the value of the pound against the dollar is a pretty good guide. | :16:13. | :16:18. | |
Before the referendum, sterling was riding high - | :16:19. | :16:25. | |
one pound was worth $1.50 on the markets. | :16:26. | :16:27. | |
After the Brexit vote, the pound's value plunged to $1.28. | :16:28. | :16:29. | |
Good for exports - not so good for imports, | :16:30. | :16:31. | |
such as food and energy, which become more expensive. | :16:32. | :16:38. | |
Since then, the pound has seen some volatility, | :16:39. | :16:40. | |
Investors are feeling more confident, as the threat | :16:41. | :16:44. | |
Residents of the besieged Syrian city of Aleppo are bombed just hours | :16:45. | :17:09. | |
It is British, raw. I never thought it would get this big. But don't get | :17:10. | :17:30. | |
confused, because now grime is on the six o'clock news. | :17:31. | :17:33. | |
Coming up in Sportsday in the next 15 minutes on BBC News. | :17:34. | :17:36. | |
Bernie Ecclestone says he'll still be involved | :17:37. | :17:37. | |
in the running of Formula One even if there's a takeover. | :17:38. | :17:48. | |
Hundreds of thousands of passengers using trains in London, Sussex, | :17:49. | :17:50. | |
Surrey and Hampshire have once again had their journeys disrupted by a 48 | :17:51. | :17:53. | |
It's the fifth strike since April - in a bitter dispute with the RMT | :17:54. | :18:03. | |
Our Transport Correspondent Richard Westcott reports. | :18:04. | :18:07. | |
After five walk-outs in six months, strikes are almost becoming routine | :18:08. | :18:10. | |
This is one of the morning services that will eventually | :18:11. | :18:20. | |
You can see it's not horrendously busy. | :18:21. | :18:29. | |
On strike days some people make other plans. | :18:30. | :18:31. | |
But passengers on Southern were already experiencing | :18:32. | :18:33. | |
some of the worst delays and cancellations in the country, | :18:34. | :18:35. | |
Week after week it's the same thing all the time. | :18:36. | :18:41. | |
It's extremely tiring and inconvenient. | :18:42. | :18:42. | |
I have no idea what time I'll get home this evening. | :18:43. | :18:45. | |
Are you getting used to strikes then? | :18:46. | :18:47. | |
Yes, the past couple of weeks I've been coming home 40 | :18:48. | :18:49. | |
minutes late and the train is just constantly delayed. | :18:50. | :18:52. | |
Not necessarily striking, but late all the time. | :18:53. | :18:53. | |
The company wants more drivers rather than the on board guards | :18:54. | :18:58. | |
It's an absolutely safety critical role and we can't allow the trains | :18:59. | :19:04. | |
to be travelling without any guard on board. | :19:05. | :19:06. | |
We have to have longer trains, and new trains. | :19:07. | :19:11. | |
And we need to improve the performance. | :19:12. | :19:13. | |
And we know doing that through driver-only operation | :19:14. | :19:15. | |
London Underground has driver-only trains. | :19:16. | :19:20. | |
Nearly half of Southern's services already use the system | :19:21. | :19:27. | |
and the industry's safety body says it's not dangerous. | :19:28. | :19:29. | |
We wanted to get a driver's view but we have kept him anonymous | :19:30. | :19:33. | |
in case speaking out gets him in trouble. | :19:34. | :19:35. | |
He told us it comes down to the different camera systems | :19:36. | :19:38. | |
The cameras are mounted three inches from the body of our trains | :19:39. | :19:43. | |
They were using cameras mounted on the platform itself. | :19:44. | :19:51. | |
And this gives an offset view so we could see the doors. | :19:52. | :19:54. | |
Nothing is going to replace the guard who can step | :19:55. | :19:59. | |
off the train and deal with the passengers directly. | :20:00. | :20:01. | |
The government wants more driver-only trains to cut costs. | :20:02. | :20:07. | |
Whatever happens on Southern sets the tone for all our rail | :20:08. | :20:14. | |
A brief look at some of the day's other other news stories. | :20:15. | :20:26. | |
Scotland's First Minister has criticised the UK government | :20:27. | :20:27. | |
for maintaining a "cloud of secrecy" around its plans for | :20:28. | :20:30. | |
Earlier today, the Prime Minister, Theresa May refused to give | :20:31. | :20:33. | |
what she called a "running commentary" on the talks | :20:34. | :20:35. | |
when pressed for details on plans for membership of the single market. | :20:36. | :20:38. | |
But Nicola Strugeon said "there must be greater transparency" | :20:39. | :20:40. | |
In rugby union - Warren Gatland has been named British and Irish Lions | :20:41. | :20:48. | |
coach for the second time and will lead them on the 2017 | :20:49. | :20:51. | |
He'll temporarily relinquish his role coaching Wales. | :20:52. | :20:54. | |
The Lions have not won a series against New Zealand since 1971. | :20:55. | :20:58. | |
One of the UK's tallest concrete structures has been demolished. | :20:59. | :21:04. | |
The 244-metre chimney at a defunct power station on the Isle of Grain | :21:05. | :21:08. | |
in Kent was detonated earlier creating 40,000 tonnes of rubble. | :21:09. | :21:13. | |
It was taller than 55 double-decker buses stacked on top of each - | :21:14. | :21:17. | |
Pupils have been sent home again from a school in Kent | :21:18. | :21:21. | |
Yesterday 50 children were turned away from Hartsdown Academy | :21:22. | :21:32. | |
and the police even got involved after a disturbance outside | :21:33. | :21:34. | |
For these children, attendance wasn't an issue today, | :21:35. | :21:38. | |
all in the right uniform, according to school policy. | :21:39. | :21:41. | |
But around 70 children have been sent home for the wrong uniform. | :21:42. | :21:45. | |
Causing scenes of angry parents at the school gate. | :21:46. | :21:49. | |
This is the second day at home for Kimberly Hopper. | :21:50. | :21:53. | |
I'm very angry because I came in on Tuesday and was ready | :21:54. | :21:58. | |
I then got given a letter and sent home. | :21:59. | :22:06. | |
Now her father is considering moving her to another school entirely. | :22:07. | :22:11. | |
My daughter was at school perfectly dressed, suitable for everything, | :22:12. | :22:14. | |
suitable for a day's worth of education. | :22:15. | :22:16. | |
The school says some pupils have turned up wearing tracksuits | :22:17. | :22:24. | |
and trainers that cost far more than school uniform. | :22:25. | :22:28. | |
It's not about money, but raising expectations. | :22:29. | :22:33. | |
At this school in Margate 75% of pupils failed | :22:34. | :22:37. | |
The headteacher says adhering to a strict uniform code | :22:38. | :22:42. | |
would raise standards, much needed in coastal towns. | :22:43. | :22:48. | |
Can children not still succeed without the right uniform? | :22:49. | :22:52. | |
Actually taking a stand where we say we care | :22:53. | :22:54. | |
about you so much that even uniform, these things matter | :22:55. | :22:56. | |
It makes sure children believe in themselves and in the school, | :22:57. | :23:01. | |
However, this stance has taken us a huge step towards that. | :23:02. | :23:07. | |
Pupils will continue to be turned away until standards are met. | :23:08. | :23:16. | |
It's driven by social media - and it's taking the world by storm. | :23:17. | :23:22. | |
Grime - a unique mash-up of musical influences - started in East London | :23:23. | :23:25. | |
around 15 years ago, and is now more popular than ever. | :23:26. | :23:29. | |
Tonight our correspondent Colleen Harris is at | :23:30. | :23:31. | |
This is where it happens tonight, this is the rehearsal for the rated | :23:32. | :23:45. | |
awards where the top people will be seeking recognition. Next week two | :23:46. | :23:51. | |
of the biggest stars of grime will be up for the Mercury awards but the | :23:52. | :23:56. | |
very appeal of the music is its independence, from corporations and | :23:57. | :23:59. | |
the establishment, but it is still breaking through into mainstream | :24:00. | :24:04. | |
territory and the world is taking notice. | :24:05. | :24:07. | |
It's British, it's raw, it's from the streets. | :24:08. | :24:09. | |
What punk was to rock, grime is to hip-hop. | :24:10. | :24:24. | |
Less about champagne and fast cars, more about life on the margins. | :24:25. | :24:28. | |
# That's not me, and it's shut down #. | :24:29. | :24:35. | |
This home-grown scene has emerged without big record label backing | :24:36. | :24:38. | |
and at times has been criticised for being too aggressive, too dark. | :24:39. | :24:47. | |
But with Mercury award nominations for MCs Skepta and Kano, | :24:48. | :24:50. | |
along with big brand sponsorships knocking on the door, | :24:51. | :24:54. | |
She is one of the few female MCs and is from Birmingham. | :24:55. | :25:27. | |
New artists in the scene have brought something very refreshing | :25:28. | :25:29. | |
to the scene and people are like, grime is popping again, | :25:30. | :25:32. | |
Social media is one of the best things that could have | :25:33. | :25:39. | |
Or someone who wants to start writing. | :25:40. | :25:44. | |
You pick up your phone and that is all your supporters | :25:45. | :25:48. | |
How much has social media driven the movement of grime? | :25:49. | :25:56. | |
I think grime has been very good at harnessing what digital | :25:57. | :26:00. | |
media is and can be, and translating that not only | :26:01. | :26:02. | |
into followers, but into ticket sales and album sales. | :26:03. | :26:07. | |
For many on the underground scene, it's growth and appeal | :26:08. | :26:15. | |
to new audiences has attracted commercial interest. | :26:16. | :26:18. | |
The brands want to reach out to the people that these artists | :26:19. | :26:21. | |
Obviously this is a very youthful audience. | :26:22. | :26:29. | |
And naturally brands are going to love that | :26:30. | :26:31. | |
and want to associate themselves with the music. | :26:32. | :26:33. | |
They can get direct access to the consumer. | :26:34. | :26:41. | |
This grimy sound, now shaping up to secure its place | :26:42. | :26:43. | |
It is hot out there, the last day of summer? This could be the swansong | :26:44. | :26:57. | |
of summer, but too early to call. It has been 30 in some places, the | :26:58. | :27:08. | |
hottest day in Guernsey for more than 30 years. Things are about to | :27:09. | :27:13. | |
change in terms of the feel of the weather, and this evening we have a | :27:14. | :27:18. | |
weather front coming to western parts, more cloud and some rain for | :27:19. | :27:21. | |
Northern Ireland and western Scotland, that could be quite heavy. | :27:22. | :27:25. | |
Clearer skies ahead of that. One more warm and muggy like to come, | :27:26. | :27:32. | |
because the weather front is changing and introducing cooler air | :27:33. | :27:34. | |
from the Atlantic and we are losing the humidity. The feel of the muggy | :27:35. | :27:40. | |
weather from the continent. The weather front moves through, | :27:41. | :27:45. | |
outbreaks of rain mostly for Northern England and into Scotland, | :27:46. | :27:49. | |
and further south the occasional spot, and then a few showers to | :27:50. | :27:53. | |
Northern Ireland and western Scotland where it will be very | :27:54. | :27:56. | |
windy. Breezy day for the Channel Islands. Not as hot tomorrow. For | :27:57. | :28:04. | |
England and Wales mainly dry in the afternoon, and some good sunny | :28:05. | :28:07. | |
spells and the fresher feel. Breezy and quite windy, the Irish sea, | :28:08. | :28:15. | |
maybe gusts around 50 mph. Some rain moving north through the Northern | :28:16. | :28:19. | |
Isles. Maybe some rain coming to western parts of the UK later. | :28:20. | :28:23. | |
Friday we are left with a few showers and a more substantial | :28:24. | :28:27. | |
weather system coming to Northern Ireland and western Scotland to end | :28:28. | :28:30. | |
Friday and that means heavy rain again and stronger winds. And all of | :28:31. | :28:36. | |
that is sweeping East across the UK and so we will all have a spell of | :28:37. | :28:40. | |
heavy rain for time. We will keep you up-to-date regarding the weekend | :28:41. | :28:44. | |
but it is looking decidedly mixed. | :28:45. | :28:47. |
