I'm Alice Baxter with BBC World News.

A large explosion rocks the Turkish capital,

The target appears to have been a bus carrying soldiers.

Reports say several people have been killed and many more injured.

Aid convoys enter a town outside Damascus, but the deal

with the Syrian government doesn't include the city of Aleppo.

Should Apple break into the phone of a killer?

The FBI say yes, the tech giant says it breaches privacy

We start with some breaking news - reports from the Turkish capital,

Ankara, say 18 people have been killed and many injured in a large

These are the latest pictures from the scene of the blast.

They resume to armed campaign against the Government last year.

There have been also responsibility from the Islamic State group which

has carried out recent attacks it appears in Istanbul there were 11

German tourists killed by a suicide bomber last month. Back in October

on Turkish soil outside the really station in and Canada. More than 100

people killed and 500 people injured. --

entered a besieged suburb of the Syrian capital,

Syrian state media say 35 trucks have also entered the rebel-held

These are the latest pictures of the aid trucks arriving

on the outskirts of the town which lies just south

It's one of five locations where the United Nations

is co-ordinating with the Syrian Red Crescent

But it doesn't include the country's biggest city,

Aleppo, divided between opposing groups.

It's now almost completely surrounded by the Syrian military.

Earlier I spoke to a correspondent and asked how bad the situation is

in the affected areas. Several areas have been identified by the United

Nations as in desperate need of aid. The Syrian Government has agreed to

send it to five of these areas. One of these areas is in the East of

cilia which is partly controlled by IS forces so what will be a

challenge to deliver aid there. At this stage they are concentrating on

the suburbs of Damascus. Also there are two areas in the north. These

are the areas that have been receiving some aid. The Syrian media

spoke about 35 trucks entering an area this morning. 100 more trucks

are waiting to be sent to the area. It is too early to verify how much

of this aid has actually reached the target that we should be able to

know in the coming few days. The Syrian government under huge

pressure to deliver. Level, that almost totally destroyed is not

among them. Aleppo is different category. There has been heavy

fighting going on, until last week there were over 50,000 refugees

massing on the border with heavy fighting going on between the

government forces and rebels in the area. These groups have also been

the subject of heavy air bombardment from the Turkish air force as well

as the Russian air force is so Aleppo at the moment is an extremely

dangerous areas. That was our reporter from BBC Arabic talking to

be a little earlier. When you go to pick up your morning

coffee or to drink your favourite chai latte, do you think that maybe

those drinks could contain double A campaign group here in the UK,

Action On Sugar, analysed 131 hot drinks and found a third contained

at least as much sugar as a can of Pepsi or Coca-Cola,

which contains nine teaspoons. Our Health Correspondent,

Sophie Hutchinson, has more. A daily routine or

an occasional treat. Today's research suggests some hot

drinks from high street cafes should The report by Action on Sugar looked

at over 100 drinks from nine It found 98% had excessive

levels of sugar, described It analysed 131 of them from

Britain's biggest chains. Just to put it into context,

this can of Coca-Cola contains nine But compare that to this caramel

latte, which contains 13 This chai latte contains

20 teaspoons of sugar. The worst offender is this

hot mulled fruit drink. Back out on the streets there was

some surprise that the coffee we bought had twice as much sugar as a

can of cola. Two times, good heavens! Wow, that does surprise me

that it's double, that is a hell of the lot. I do not order many things

out of the further reason to be feared. Starbucks says it is

committed to reducing sugar by 25% hike 2020 and already offers lighter

options. Costa said it had already taken significant steps to reduce

sugar content. But experts are concerned about the impact of these

drinks on heart disease, dental health and obesity and insist people

need much more help to make healthier choices. If we had proper

calorie labelling on the drinks we consume out of home in the way we

now see on candid the supermarket for example at least people could

begin to make an informed choice. It is also a matter of portion size.

The reason there is so much sugar in some of these drinks as they are

ridiculously large and I think the time has come for us to think about

having a cap on the portion size of some of these drinks. Treasure has

been growing for the government to bring in a tax on sugary drinks

after evidence from abroad it can reduce the amount that people buy.

It is a much delayed obesity strategy which may finally be

published in the next few weeks. Nobody look at some of the day

Council, Donald Tusk, has told EU leaders that he can't

guarantee that a deal will be reached on reforms demanded

by the British Prime Minister, On Thursday Donald Tusk will chair

a crucial summit meeting in Brussels Poland and three other countries

are reported to be still resisting welfare curbs while France

is thought to be against financial Donald Tusk was asked by the BBC's

Ben Wright how the negotiation was going. Today the UK are still a

member of the European Union and I have the feeling that it will not

change, tomorrow will stop are you confident you will get the deal

tomorrow? I am sure you have no choice. Let's toss to our

correspondence, Alex Forsyth. The rhetoric from most European leaders

in from Donald Tusk, the president of the European Council use just

the, they want a deal done. The UK does because it wants to get on with

this referendum about whether it could stay on leave the EU. Other

leaders have other issues they want to focus on, not least the migration

crisis. They want to get this deal done after weeks and months of

negotiation but there is no guarantee it will be finished. That

is because they are still technical issues over which there is some

disagreement and some big political differences, too. You mentioned the

few, France has some concerns over regulations to users on countries

and non-Eurozone countries. Other Eastern and Central European

countries have flagged concerns over exactly how changes to welfare

payments to migrant workers might be played out or imposed and those

things will not be easily solved. Political will to try and get this

deal done by Friday, by example, but not yet the way. Do you think this

will be down to the wire in view of those sticking points you outweigh?

There are two tracks to this, we are expecting in the next few hours and

other draft document which will set out some of the proposed solutions

to the reforms that David Cameron and the UK want to see and that will

have some technical and legal minor changes from the one published a few

weeks ago. It will be a team of lawyers and EU experts trying to

thrash out those technical and legal issues and at the same time you have

sat around the table B EU leaders trying to deal with those big

political differences which still exist. We know they will talk about

death at the first session tomorrow and there is pencilled in another

session for Friday when the talks will continue. We do not know what

the outcome of that will be. Donald Tusk has said there is no guarantee

but it is better to try to reach a compromise. The momentum is behind

these negotiations now and he makes a clear warning that unless this is

resolved somehow the very unity of the EU is at stake. He will be

working hard to try to do a deal but it may very well come down to the

wire. Thank you, Alex Forsyth therefore I was in Brussels.

Apple says it will challenge a court order that helps the US authorities

access information on a mobile phone.

The device belongs to San Bernadino killer Syed Rizwan Farook -

who, with his wife, shot dead 14 people last December.

The FBI says the phone contains crucial information

Well, Apple CEO Tim Cook has released a statement saying

"The United States government has demanded that Apple take

"an unprecedented step which threatens the security

"We oppose this order, which has implications far

This is part of a longstanding debate

between America's Silicon Valley technology companies

It generally sees the companies opposed to software with weakened

security, in a bid to protect the privacy of customers.

On the other side, the authorities warn that encryption software gives

criminals a means to communicate undetected.

Join amino from Washington is Greg who is advocating for digital

piracy. Thanks for joining me on the show. I have no doubt that in this

you come down on the side of Apple that I want to tell you that just in

the last hour at the White House spokesman, Josh Ernest, and issued a

statement pointing out the Department of Justice is asking the

tech giant for access just to one single device. The government is

asking Apple to Gallup malware, that is software that gets into the

device that does not exist today. If the government gets its way it could

ask Apple to develop malware to get the government into other iPhones,

into computers that Apple makes and it did issue similar orders to other

US tech companies to get access to dad that stored on their devices as

well. This particular order may involve this particular device that

it has implications for the security of all the devices that we use. In

this White House statement the address exactly that point saying

the government is not asking Apple to be design it roared up or create

a new backboard to its product. This is the request and offending to a

very specific person. The San Bernardino attacker, a well-known

incident. Can you not see that perhaps in this instance it is just

a request for access to a single phone and it is not perhaps a

trickle-down effect? Simply we have a lot of sympathy for the victims of

that terrible attack but the answer to that attack should not be to

weaken the security of Apple devices. Once this, if this order

stands, there will be other orders and there will be other orders

covering other devices and the consequence of that will be that the

malware that Apple is required to produce why those orders would

eventually get out and would weaken the security of all of Apple 's

devices and, as I said earlier, it is not just Apple we are concerned

with, it is what this would mean for the makers of other devices and the

security of those devices. It seems like every week there is a new that

breach and eight new instance where instance that is personal and can

cause damage gets out to the public or gets out to the bad guys.

Encryption is the way we prevent that from happening. It is the way

we prevent damage. You empathise at all with the F guide position on

this? Of course, everyone wants justice to be served but the F B I

have a lot of tools that it can use to get information that is relevant

to this crime. In this case the perpetrator of the crime is already

dead in maybe other people who are involved that the F guy wants to

take a look at. It has the number of investigative tools that don't

involve weakening the security of devices that it could use. Thank

you, from the centre of democracy and technology, for joining me.

Thank you. Pope Francis' last stop on his tour

of Mexico is Ciudad Juarez He arrived in the last hour

or so and is on his way to one Later in the evening Francis

will give mass for 200,000 people. Ciudad Juarez is synonymous

with illegal migration into the US and Francis is expected to speak

about the plight of migrants. He enjoys important places to go.

That is why it is one of them. It is at the border with the United States

weedy lot of immigrants choose to go through to the United States. He is

talking about mercy. This is the year of mercy in the words of Pope

Francis and he is saying you have baby without Borders. The Germans

how to work with each other. It is a message as well to the Mexicans,

even if the Mexicans say the United states are not treating as fairly,

they are accused of abusing a lot of Central Americans who go through

Mexico to go to the United States. The messages lets be human to each

other, it does not matter where you come from. Mental health is fast

coming one of the great global in Jews of our time.

Two women in our in the mine CDs have recorded their thoughts. Having

mental illnesses like in controlled by a puppet master because it is

just like having your own brain taken out and someone else's bid in

any videos about exactly what I had gone through. -- chair. I have

bipolar, gone through. -- chair. I have

everyone has a different experience. For me part of it was my manic

episode. Like you are normally but on an extreme episode. If you are

episode. Like you are normally but upset you are really, really upset

or if you're happy you are running around dancing and singing. It is

kind of like all of your around dancing and singing. It is

the psychiatric ward are very, very strange and very surreal. When I got

there I was very confused because I did not know what was going on. I

thought I was being watched and that I was on some sort of TV programme

and that someone was playing a joke on me. I was in a very delusional

state of mind, I was imagining things were happening that were not

happening. I was imagining I was someone that I wasn't. You still

have people dressing up for Halloween in psychiatric patients

and using words like mental and psychotic and things. Opening up

about it is really helpful for raking down stigmas and actually

telling people what it's really like to have it. I've been making YouTube

videos on and off for around four years now. The reason I do it is to

show the honest nature of my illness and what my live with this illnesses

like. I have done some weird things including harming myself quite

severely to a life-threatening point. If I was to be completely

well in my videos it would be an inaccurate or trail. I make myself

do it and I try to be as honest as always. Schizoaffective disorder is

being absolutely fine one day and then a weekly to just being in the

grips of psychosis. Being so depressed that I'm contemplating

suicide to one week later being absolutely fine again. I can hear

voices in my head, it see things such as shadows or people, sometimes

animals. I no longer know who I am, when I am, my beliefs and my

connection with reality is just shattered. I thought it would be

good to do about sectioning cause it is not something widely talked about

because of, obviously, the stigma and things like that attached to it.

Technology and the Internet and the way things are now had really help

Technology and the Internet and the the conversation around mental

health. People like me are able to upload the

health. People like me are able to to spread awareness and information.

I have had people message to say my to spread awareness and information.

videos have wanted them to to spread awareness and information.

not even think I would achieve that saw it just my day.

A quick reminder of our main news this hour. A government spokesman

from Turkey has confirmed 28 people were killed in that explosion in

Ankara. He also said 61 people were injured and the blast happened next

to a passing military vehicle in an area host to the parliament and

close to Turkey 's military headquarters. The Turkish Prime

Minister has cancelled a trip to Brussels in response to the attack.

watching. -- fight you for watching.
