:00:07. > :00:22.Save the Children says a maternity hospital in Syria has been bombed.

:00:23. > :00:25.The air strikes happened in a rebel-held district of Idlib in the

:00:26. > :00:29.north-west. At least two people are reported dead.

:00:30. > :00:34.The staff at the hospital contacted us and they confirmed that the town

:00:35. > :00:42.where the hospital is based has been hit by seven air strikes. There

:00:43. > :00:46.Florida confirms its first cases of the Zika virus contracted by local

:00:47. > :00:48.moss key toes. And, the day after the night before, Hillary Clinton

:00:49. > :01:07.gets down to work as the race for the White House begins for real.

:01:08. > :01:09.We start in Syria where a maternity hospital has been hit

:01:10. > :01:12.by an airstrike according to the charity Save the Children

:01:13. > :01:17.Two people are reported to have died and a number of patients and staff

:01:18. > :01:20.were injured in the bombing which happened in a rebel-held

:01:21. > :01:23.Meanwhile, the United Nations' Syrian envoy has backed Russian

:01:24. > :01:26.proposals for humanitarian corridors to be set up to allow civilians

:01:27. > :01:30.in the besieged city of Aleppo to leave.

:01:31. > :01:51.Footage shows the forces trying to take control of the city.

:01:52. > :01:57.Russia has been an allie in this fight. Now it says it wants to give

:01:58. > :02:01.people a way out of rebel-held parts of Aleppo.

:02:02. > :02:07.Leaflets were dropped showing a map of corridors for civilians to leave.

:02:08. > :02:14.TRANSLATION: I'm not sure I will go out. The Government's directions of

:02:15. > :02:18.surrender are humiliating as it is. If they are already humiliating us,

:02:19. > :02:23.how about when we actually arrive to the areas that they control?

:02:24. > :02:28.Russia's said it also plans to allow rebel fighters to leave.

:02:29. > :02:31.Two days ago, the Syrian Government had said all supply lines to rebel

:02:32. > :02:35.held areas had been cut off. Around a quarter of a million civilians

:02:36. > :02:40.lived there. Hospitals have been bombed and the UN's warned that food

:02:41. > :02:47.stocks will only last three weeks. The UN wants to be involved in

:02:48. > :02:52.Russia's plan. Our suggestion is to Russia to

:02:53. > :02:56.actually leave the corridors being established at their initiative to

:02:57. > :03:01.us. The UN and the humanitarian

:03:02. > :03:05.partners, as you know, know what to do. They have an experience. That's

:03:06. > :03:10.our job. The UN's also asked for a ceasefire

:03:11. > :03:17.to give people a chance for a safe exit. For four years, Aleppo has

:03:18. > :03:21.seen bloodshed and violence. Whether or not people choose to leave the

:03:22. > :03:24.city if they are given a way out will depend on how the plan will

:03:25. > :03:28.work. Perhaps just as important is how quickly can it all be carried

:03:29. > :03:32.out because, for hundreds of thousands of people in rebel-held

:03:33. > :03:37.areas off Aleppo, each day is a struggle to survive.

:03:38. > :03:39.A doctor working with Save the Children who has visited

:03:40. > :03:41.the maternity hospital in the past said equipment and generators

:03:42. > :03:57.The staff of the hospital contacted us and confirmed that the town where

:03:58. > :04:02.the hospital is based has been hit by seven air strikes. Three of these

:04:03. > :04:05.hit the surrounding area of the hospital while one air strike hit

:04:06. > :04:13.the entrance of the hospital killing at least two people and one another

:04:14. > :04:20.injured person, he's in a serious condition. For other people we don't

:04:21. > :04:24.have the exact information about the number of injuries, but the hospital

:04:25. > :04:28.staff are talking about at least ten people that have got injured. The

:04:29. > :04:31.medical staff in the facilities went to the ground floor, so all the

:04:32. > :04:35.medical staff they are safe except for one midwife. She was doing a

:04:36. > :04:40.delivery at that point and she got injured because of the damage caused

:04:41. > :04:46.by this air strike. The hospital itself was affected badly because

:04:47. > :04:49.some equipment was being damaged by this air strike, including the

:04:50. > :04:55.generators running through the city and this hospital because in Syria

:04:56. > :04:57.now there's no stable electricity and some other equipment, including

:04:58. > :04:59.the incubators for newborns. Florida has confirmed its first

:05:00. > :05:02.cases of the Zika infection that were most likely contracted

:05:03. > :05:05.from local mosquitos. The state governor has said two

:05:06. > :05:07.sites were responsible for four cases, but that no one had been

:05:08. > :05:10.admitted to hospital. The Florida cases raise the chance

:05:11. > :05:13.that US mosquitoes can So far, cases outside

:05:14. > :05:19.of Latin America and the Caribbean have been spread by travel to that

:05:20. > :05:31.region or sexual transmission. It's causing concern but it's not

:05:32. > :05:35.entirely unexpected. The Centre for Disease control and others have been

:05:36. > :05:40.warning for several months now that the possibility of locally borne

:05:41. > :05:46.Zika transmitting in the United States is very high. Now, there have

:05:47. > :05:50.been 1600 cases in the States alone, most of them from people travelling

:05:51. > :05:54.to infected areas and coming back. As you mentioned, this is the first

:05:55. > :06:02.time it's come from a mosquito itself. Now, it is in a very small

:06:03. > :06:06.area, about two kilometres squared and the mosquito which transmits

:06:07. > :06:10.this virus can only travel a small area. So that is where they're

:06:11. > :06:14.concentrating on in that area of Miami at the moment to look and see

:06:15. > :06:18.what they can do. I've just been listening to a call from the Centre

:06:19. > :06:22.for Disease control and they say they're very impressd by the

:06:23. > :06:26.measures being taken in Florida, they include getting rid of stagnant

:06:27. > :06:31.water where mosquitoes might be born. They are also spraying any

:06:32. > :06:36.areas where they are prevalent and they are also ensuring and telling

:06:37. > :06:42.local women especially to cover up during the night when those areas

:06:43. > :06:50.mosquitoes could be biting. Let's take a look at

:06:51. > :07:05.some other stories. Criminal charges have been filed

:07:06. > :07:09.against six state employees in Michigan over the contamination of

:07:10. > :07:12.drinking water in the city of Flint. The em-Politics Show eyes at the

:07:13. > :07:17.environmental departments are accused of misconduct in office,

:07:18. > :07:21.neglect and conspiracy disturbance - employees.

:07:22. > :07:23.Hillary Clinton has been speaking at a rally in Philadelphia this

:07:24. > :07:25.evening, following her closing speech at the Democratic National

:07:26. > :07:30.She's made history by becoming the first female Presidential

:07:31. > :07:32.candidate for the Democrats - but she divides party opinion

:07:33. > :07:34.on whether she is the right person for the job.

:07:35. > :07:37.And of course Donald Trump was a controversial choice

:07:38. > :07:50.Laura Trevelyan is at the White House for us. Both are out on the

:07:51. > :07:56.campaign trail today. Hillary Clinton is in Pennsylvania, a key

:07:57. > :08:00.swing state, and Donald Trump himself is in Colorado, which

:08:01. > :08:05.flipped from the Republican column last time. Good news from Mr Trump,

:08:06. > :08:09.the audience for Hillary Clinton's speech last night in prime time

:08:10. > :08:12.television was a few million less than the audience for his speech in

:08:13. > :08:18.prime time a week ago, so I'm sure that he will make the most of that.

:08:19. > :08:22.However, I should also say that the audiences overall for the democratic

:08:23. > :08:25.convention night by night were higher than for the Republicans, so

:08:26. > :08:29.make of that what you will and I'm sure both sides will have their own

:08:30. > :08:35.take from that. Now it's all about the race for the White House, all

:08:36. > :08:44.about the electoral map and there they are.

:08:45. > :08:48.What sense did we get of what is the flavour of things to come? You can

:08:49. > :08:52.see from Trump's convention that that was about what he sees is wrong

:08:53. > :08:54.with America that, this is a difficult time that people are

:08:55. > :08:58.scared about the threat of terrorism. They feel economically

:08:59. > :09:03.insecure, they're worried about their jobs, they don't trust Hillary

:09:04. > :09:09.Clinton. So his was definitely and his aide said it was a Nick Nixonian

:09:10. > :09:13.campaign, based on appealing to people's fears saying he'll be the

:09:14. > :09:17.strong man and make it better. Democrats, while taunting Mr Trump

:09:18. > :09:24.at every possible turn it should be said, tried to be more positive and

:09:25. > :09:31.strike the theme that America is great, trump au slogan is make

:09:32. > :09:35.America great again. You have two extremely different views. In the

:09:36. > :09:40.States where this election is going to be decided which is Ohio,

:09:41. > :09:44.Pennsylvania, they're former manufacturing centres where the jobs

:09:45. > :09:48.haven't been replaced by new jobs, the message is going to be about who

:09:49. > :09:52.is going to bring our jobs back and how is that going to happen. Hillary

:09:53. > :09:56.Clinton saying she'll do it through infrastructure and investment,

:09:57. > :09:56.Donald Trump saying he'll renegotiate the Free Trade

:09:57. > :10:06.Agreements. Pope Francis has walked in silence

:10:07. > :10:08.around Auschwitz-Birkenau, as a mark of respect to the more

:10:09. > :10:11.than one million people, mostly Jews, who were killed

:10:12. > :10:19.at the Nazi death camp. Our correspondent

:10:20. > :10:21.Tom Burridge reports. To a place which exposes

:10:22. > :10:23.the inadequacy of words. Where more than one million,

:10:24. > :10:26.mainly Jewish, people Pope Francis spoke with some

:10:27. > :10:45.of the few who survived that horror. at the wall where Nazi firing

:10:46. > :10:54.squads executed thousands. Then a prayer in a cell,

:10:55. > :10:58.where a Catholic priest volunteered human beings were locked

:10:59. > :11:09.up here like animals. Silence was the response

:11:10. > :11:12.of the Catholic Church when Nazi Germany

:11:13. > :11:15.demonised Jewish people and then attempted

:11:16. > :11:21.to eradicate Jews from Europe. Another visit by a Pope reminds us

:11:22. > :11:25.about the evil perpetrated But questions remain

:11:26. > :11:30.for the Catholic Church about what it knew at the time

:11:31. > :11:34.of the Nazi death camps and the systematic

:11:35. > :11:41.programme of genocide. A psalm sung by a priest

:13:59. > :14:01.by the sport's governing body. Some of their ten possible

:14:02. > :14:05.competitors had been named in a report which exposed

:14:06. > :14:08.Russian state-sponsored doping. Only track and field has had

:14:09. > :14:10.a similar blanket ban. The IOC gave governing bodies

:14:11. > :14:14.the jurisdiction over whether to allow Russian competitors

:14:15. > :14:17.in their discipline. Archery, triathlon, shooting

:14:18. > :14:20.and table tennis are among those to have given the go-ahead,

:14:52. > :14:54.and the Argentine Emiliano Grillo is out in front on 7-under midway

:14:55. > :14:58.through his round. A full scorecard can be found

:14:59. > :15:02.on the BBC Sport website. It's been fairly wet on day two

:15:03. > :15:06.of the Women's British Open at Woburn as well, but not enough

:15:07. > :15:09.to keep the layers off the course... South Korea's Mirim Lee hasn't

:15:10. > :15:11.matched her course record ten-under yesterday,

:15:12. > :15:14.struggled a bit this morning. She carded 71 in her

:15:17. > :15:20.Schweinsteiger could be the most high profile casualty

:15:21. > :15:23.of Jose Mourinho's mass clearout of the Manchester United squad,

:15:24. > :15:26.if the media speculation is anything Perhaps a coincidence,

:15:27. > :15:31.but Schweinsteiger announced his retirement from international

:15:32. > :15:33.football on Friday. It comes thre weeks after Germany

:15:34. > :15:36.were knocked out of the Euros The 31-year-old World Cup winner

:15:37. > :15:42.only joined United last year from Bayern Munich for a fee

:15:43. > :15:45.of around $8.5 million Lewis Hamilton may be leading

:15:46. > :15:50.the Formula One title race but his teammate Nico Rosberg sent

:15:51. > :15:54.a timely reminder that he won't be easy to beat, by topping

:15:55. > :15:58.the timesheets in both First and Second Practice ahead

:15:59. > :16:09.of his home Grand Prix All eyes are on Rosberg ahead of the

:16:10. > :16:14.German Grand Prix as we wait the see if he can stop the Lewis Hamilton

:16:15. > :16:19.juggernaut. Hamilton's won five of the last six Grand Prix including

:16:20. > :16:23.last weekend in Hungary and he's now leading the World Championship for

:16:24. > :16:28.the first time. What has Rosberg got left in the tank? He has shown so

:16:29. > :16:33.far today he's still fighting. He was fastest in both of today's

:16:34. > :16:38.practise sessions including being 0. .4 of a second faster than Lewis

:16:39. > :16:41.Hamilton. It's only in qualitifying tomorrow that we'll really find out

:16:42. > :16:48.if his challenge has any depth to it. Off track, it's been been busy.

:16:49. > :16:56.The race director clarified lots of issues today, including specifying

:16:57. > :17:01.that the halo, the much-publicised head protection, is now not going to

:17:02. > :17:05.be introduced in 2017, it's being delayed until 2018, also changes to

:17:06. > :17:09.yellow flags, track limits and all sorts but none of that is going to

:17:10. > :17:14.make any difference to the racing at the front. It's all about Rosberg v

:17:15. > :17:18.Hamilton this weekend. They're way quicker than any other drivers here

:17:19. > :17:20.at Hockenheim. Can Rosberg stop Hamilton?

:17:21. > :17:23.Australia need 185 to win their first test against Sri Lanka

:17:24. > :17:27.in Pellekele on what's been another weather affected day having bowled

:17:28. > :17:30.Sri Lanka out for 353 earlier on Friday.

:17:31. > :17:34.Kusal Mendis was finally dismissed for 176.

:17:35. > :17:37.Australia were 83-3 when rain and bad light brought

:17:38. > :18:00.The yank banking authority's published the results of its 2016

:18:01. > :18:06.stress tests on 51 European banks, the Italian bank, that's the world's

:18:07. > :18:11.oldest bank, been in business since 1472, by far the worst performer in

:18:12. > :18:16.the test. The results seem to indicate that it would collapse

:18:17. > :18:22.entirely if the stress tests were replicated in the real world. It,

:18:23. > :18:24.along with other major yawn banks, including Deutsche Bank, RBS,

:18:25. > :18:30.Barclays and the Bank of Ireland, was one of the worst responses to a

:18:31. > :18:39.series of adviser scenarios, including a major fall in GDP. More

:18:40. > :18:43.on that soon. Now, why are schools in Kenya being set on fire, it's the

:18:44. > :18:47.question many are struggling to understand, as two more schools were

:18:48. > :18:52.burnt overnegotiate. Kenya has been dealing with a wave of arson

:18:53. > :18:59.attacks. We have been to central Kenya, one of the worst affected

:19:00. > :19:03.regions. Scenes like this have become an

:19:04. > :19:07.almost daily occurrence in Kenya. School after school going up in

:19:08. > :19:11.flames at an unprecedented rate. On Friday morning, two more schools

:19:12. > :19:16.were torched. This is the latest school to suffer the arson attacks.

:19:17. > :19:21.Even new buildings reduced to shell an a stark reminder of the events

:19:22. > :19:24.here in past days. This is the second dormitory to be

:19:25. > :19:29.burnt down in this school in the space of one week. The fire is

:19:30. > :19:34.believed to have been started at around that corner at seven at

:19:35. > :19:37.night. The fire raged on and firefighters quickly came in, and

:19:38. > :19:41.together with students, they desperately tried to save their

:19:42. > :19:46.belongings. As you can see, there is not much left of all their personal

:19:47. > :19:51.belongings and their bedding has been destroyed. We have tracked down

:19:52. > :19:56.one of the students who were in the school when this started. He

:19:57. > :20:01.requested to hide his identity for fear of being connected to those who

:20:02. > :20:03.burnt his school. He's uncertain about his final examinations later

:20:04. > :20:19.this year and worried. The banning of school started in

:20:20. > :20:26.western Kenya and spread to other regions. So far, more than 100

:20:27. > :20:31.schools have been affected -- the burning started. This is a worried

:20:32. > :20:35.parent. Her daughter Wes supposed to sit her final exams this year, but

:20:36. > :20:39.is now home after their school was closed following a failed attempt to

:20:40. > :20:43.burn it down. I feel really, really bad. Looking for school fees is

:20:44. > :20:48.hard. This butchering work is not easy. I'm very, very worried for

:20:49. > :20:53.her. The reasons for the attacks remain very unclear. Teachers blame

:20:54. > :20:57.the Government, the Government blames exam sheets. Teachers' unions

:20:58. > :21:01.have threatened to go on a national strike if the Government doesn't

:21:02. > :21:05.close all schools immediately to tackle the crisis. But the

:21:06. > :21:10.Government has rejected the calls. There is no school that is going to

:21:11. > :21:17.be closed. Learning must continue. All our children must be in school.

:21:18. > :21:21.We will deal with the criminals and crooks that are working on

:21:22. > :21:27.undermining the reforms that we are putting in place and trying to

:21:28. > :21:32.blackmail Government. The burnling of schools is not a new phenomena,

:21:33. > :21:38.but the sheer scale and frequency of the attacks has now raised fears and

:21:39. > :21:42.concerns about the uncertain future now facing thousands of students.

:21:43. > :21:48.We told you about the results of the stress tests carried out on European

:21:49. > :21:54.banks a few minutes ago. We were bringing you the results. Let's

:21:55. > :22:01.discuss this more. Theo Legislate is here. What have we discoverd? The

:22:02. > :22:05.European banking authority modelled a big economic shock something as

:22:06. > :22:09.severe as we saw in 2008 to see how the banks would stoned when their

:22:10. > :22:13.bad loans would rise and their profits would fall and whether they

:22:14. > :22:19.had enough in the way of capital buffers, money set aside, to deal

:22:20. > :22:25.with that. It's rigid scenarios that they have put in place. There's no

:22:26. > :22:32.pass or fail, but it's clear some banks have come out of this exercise

:22:33. > :22:36.a lot better than others. The world's oldest bank, Italy's third

:22:37. > :22:43.largest bank, performed very badly indeed. It would basically be wiped

:22:44. > :23:00.out, losing all its capital reserves if such a snarl grow were to happen,

:23:01. > :23:08.now we know. Bank of Ireland, another Italian bank, Uni Credit,

:23:09. > :23:16.performed not particularly well -- scenario.
