:00:00. > :00:17.Washington, I'm Jane O'Brien. Today Reporting from

:00:18. > :00:26.Rescue workers in Italy fight to save people from a powerful

:00:27. > :00:27.earthquake that has killed at least 250. Strong after-shocks are

:00:28. > :00:31.hampering recovery efforts. Just have a look over here. All that dust

:00:32. > :00:40.has been caused by Vinny after-shock. Turkey ramps up its

:00:41. > :00:41.offensive against so-called Islamic State, sending more tanks into

:00:42. > :00:43.Syria. A peace deal is finally

:00:44. > :00:45.reached in Colombia. More on the historic agreement

:00:46. > :00:46.struck between the Colombian Government and left-wing

:00:47. > :00:48.guerilla group, the FARC. And the BBC Pop Up team

:00:49. > :00:52.is in Russia, with a look at one small village's success in giving

:00:53. > :00:53.foster families Central Italy has been hit

:00:54. > :01:08.by a series of powerful They've hampered rescue

:01:09. > :01:15.teams on the ground who are racing to find survivors

:01:16. > :01:17.of Wednesday's earthquake. The number of people killed in towns

:01:18. > :01:22.near the epicentre has climbed The shallow 6.2 magnitude earthquake

:01:23. > :01:27.was centred between two small towns, Look at the town of Amatrice and see

:01:28. > :01:45.if you can find anywhere The quake damaged or destroyed

:01:46. > :01:48.much of its historic centre. This afternoon, there

:01:49. > :02:00.was a large after-shock. The ground has just shaken again

:02:01. > :02:09.here, and You will see all that dust has

:02:10. > :02:15.been caused We heard and we felt the entire

:02:16. > :02:22.tarmac here, This woman is still recovering

:02:23. > :02:31.from the quake itself. She and her family were sleeping at

:02:32. > :02:41.home when they felt the ground move. TRANSLATION: You can't

:02:42. > :02:43.understand it. It is as if you see

:02:44. > :02:46.the face of death. One girl underneath this rubble

:02:47. > :02:59.knows what that was like. Rescuers found her legs first

:03:00. > :03:04.Julia was trapped. and they pulled her out to

:03:05. > :03:11.cheers. This is what rescuers

:03:12. > :03:17.have to deal with. In the summer this area is full

:03:18. > :03:19.of foreign tourists, making it much harder

:03:20. > :03:24.to track who survived In Amatrice we watched

:03:25. > :03:27.rescuers search Two hours later they

:03:28. > :03:32.pulled out a body. This is what the loss

:03:33. > :03:46.of hope looks like. Relief workers, clearly

:03:47. > :03:48.exhausted, say it is It is so difficult,

:03:49. > :03:53.this man told me. The sniffer dogs are not

:03:54. > :03:56.finding anything. The youngest may have no idea

:03:57. > :04:00.a new temporary home in the park. what they

:04:01. > :04:14.have all just lived through. Jenny Hill is in the tiny village of

:04:15. > :04:24.Casale, near Amatrice. This is the tiny,

:04:25. > :04:26.historic hamlet of Casale. It's one of dozens dotted

:04:27. > :04:30.around the countryside. Tiny, very old places,

:04:31. > :04:31.idyllic places. Rescue teams who have been working

:04:32. > :04:37.here throughout the day, overnight, tell us that 15 people

:04:38. > :04:39.lost their lives pulling bodies from

:04:40. > :04:45.the wreckage of these homes. In fact, the last

:04:46. > :04:47.of those bodies has only just been loaded

:04:48. > :04:53.onto a trolley and taken away. It is extraordinarily distressing

:04:54. > :04:55.work for the rescue workers. It's not long since there

:04:56. > :05:01.was a violent after-shock which went on for several seconds,

:05:02. > :05:05.knocking people off their feet. It's unnerving if you are just

:05:06. > :05:08.experiencing it, but imagine being amongst these partially

:05:09. > :05:09.collapsed, unstable It's a very difficult job

:05:10. > :05:15.for the rescuers and this region They are still dealing with these

:05:16. > :05:29.terrible after-shocks and at some point, of course, they are

:05:30. > :05:31.going to have to clean up I think Casale is really very

:05:32. > :05:36.striking because when you look at these houses here,

:05:37. > :05:38.you really get the sense of an idyllic place,

:05:39. > :05:40.somewhere where people go to relax, Turkey has sent more tanks

:05:41. > :05:57.into Syria today as part of its offensive against so-called

:05:58. > :05:59.Islamic State. It's Turkey's biggest intervention

:06:00. > :06:01.in Syria's five-year war, and with the help of Syrian rebels

:06:02. > :06:03.has focused so far on the former

:06:04. > :06:05.IS stronghold of Jarabulus. Today the BBC obtained dramatic

:06:06. > :06:07.pictures of the assault. From the border, our Turkey

:06:08. > :06:09.correspondent Mark Lowen Savouring the liberation

:06:10. > :06:22.from jihadists. "The heroes are inside Jarabulus,"

:06:23. > :06:25.says a rebel soldier. Exclusive pictures showing Syrian

:06:26. > :06:27.fighters entering a stronghold The offensive began yesterday

:06:28. > :06:39.morning. Syrian rebels backed by Turkey

:06:40. > :06:43.preparing for battle. The aim, to push Islamic State out

:06:44. > :06:46.of the key border town that But Turkey had another target, too,

:06:47. > :06:54.its commander telling fighters, "Kurdish separatists

:06:55. > :06:57.have emptied Arab towns Pushing back the Kurds was a Turkish

:06:58. > :07:09.priority in the offensive. Turkish tanks launched

:07:10. > :07:11.the operation, firing first from Turkey before crossing

:07:12. > :07:15.over the border. That paved way for a ground

:07:16. > :07:17.offensive by hundreds of rebel soldiers,

:07:18. > :07:19.meeting limited resistance. Villagers along the way were barren,

:07:20. > :07:28.emptied by Islamic State. We will never know what happened

:07:29. > :07:35.to the residents. Here, a fighter orders

:07:36. > :07:37.buildings and cars searched And then they reached it, a

:07:38. > :07:46.triumphant entrance into Jarabulus. The infamous Islamic State black

:07:47. > :07:50.once marked their vicious rule but they seem to have withdrawn

:07:51. > :08:01.even before the assault. "In the name of Allah, we promised

:08:02. > :08:05.and we kept our promise," he says. Jarabulus has been completely

:08:06. > :08:06.liberated, people But which people?

:08:07. > :08:11.The town looks deserted. And so Islamic State has been

:08:12. > :08:13.cleared with the warning Victory is sweet, but fierce

:08:14. > :08:26.battles lie ahead. Well, as the fight against

:08:27. > :08:28.Islamic State continues, conditions inside Syria

:08:29. > :08:31.are growing worse. Russia has agreed to a 48 hour

:08:32. > :08:33.humanitarian cease fire to enable aid to reach two million

:08:34. > :08:36.people in Aleppo. For more on the situation,

:08:37. > :08:38.I'm joined by PJ Crowley, former US State

:08:39. > :08:49.Department spokesman. Why has it taken so long when some

:08:50. > :08:59.of the most distressing images have been coming out of Aleppo, to agree

:09:00. > :09:02.to this 48-hour window? You have to look at it more broadly. We have

:09:03. > :09:08.defined the conflict in terms of Islamic State. But this is easily a

:09:09. > :09:13.10- sided conflict. It makes it very difficult even to define what the

:09:14. > :09:18.Syrian civil war is about and how to manage what is happening on the

:09:19. > :09:22.ground right now and to get to an acceptable, political solution that

:09:23. > :09:27.every one of the protagonists inside Syria can live with. And the reality

:09:28. > :09:31.is, we are talking about Aleppo, talking about the prospective peace

:09:32. > :09:38.agreement, talking about Jarabulus, the dynamic inside Syria, the key

:09:39. > :09:42.players are jockeying to try to obtain as much control of territory

:09:43. > :09:47.as they can to influence that the eventual solution. And the key

:09:48. > :09:53.example as you have just heard is Jarabulus. Here, you have the Turks

:09:54. > :09:59.fighting the Kurds, who have been an ally of the US. What is the US

:10:00. > :10:03.priority right now? It is to defeat Islamic State and eliminate the

:10:04. > :10:10.caliphate, but for a country like Turkey how that is accomplished

:10:11. > :10:14.matters profoundly. Around Jarabulus you have two Kurdish enclaves, the

:10:15. > :10:20.Kurdish allies of the US, if you will. They would love to consolidate

:10:21. > :10:24.and on planes that would give them a stronger position when it does come

:10:25. > :10:29.to an eventual negotiation. That is highly problematic for the Turks.

:10:30. > :10:37.Because the key ally of the United States who has done the most, who

:10:38. > :10:42.has been most effective is the PKK, and also the PKK, there's been a

:10:43. > :10:47.long-standing confrontation between them and the Turkish government. The

:10:48. > :10:53.reality on the ground is that we're going to see these collisions of

:10:54. > :10:57.interest for some time. Absolutely. What round is there for the next

:10:58. > :11:02.round of peace talks when Sergei Lavrov meets John Kerry in Geneva?

:11:03. > :11:09.It is important to try to plough the ground that is there and to reach

:11:10. > :11:14.understandings when you can, but fundamentally, at the dynamic on the

:11:15. > :11:17.ground when it supports a political negotiation in my mind, tragically,

:11:18. > :11:22.for Syria, we still have weeks, months, perhaps even years before

:11:23. > :11:26.the situation on the ground clarifies to the extent that a rule

:11:27. > :11:29.negotiated solution becomes plausible.

:11:30. > :11:31.Now a look at some of the day's other news.

:11:32. > :11:34.Myanmar's President, Utin Chaw, has visited one of the country's

:11:35. > :11:36.most significant heritage sites, damaged by a powerful

:11:37. > :11:39.Some of the centuries-old pagodas and temples in the ancient

:11:40. > :11:42.city of Bagan were hit by the 6.8 magnitude quake.

:11:43. > :11:44.It shook buildings across the country, and tremors were felt

:11:45. > :11:52.as far away as Thailand, Bangladesh and eastern India.

:11:53. > :11:57.The impeachment trial of suspended Brazilian President

:11:58. > :12:00.She's accused of tampering with the budget

:12:01. > :12:06.saying she's the victim of a political coup.

:12:07. > :12:08.The Senate is hearing from witnesses.

:12:09. > :12:13.Ms Rousseff will start her defence in person on Monday.

:12:14. > :12:15.The world's first self-driving taxis have started picking up

:12:16. > :12:21.A US based start-up firm, Nu-Tonomy, is offering the service and plans

:12:22. > :12:23.to start with six cars for now, growing to around 12

:12:24. > :12:30.Uber is planning a very similar project to be launched in Pittsburgh

:12:31. > :12:35.After a half century of civil war, Colombia's government has reached

:12:36. > :12:37.a historic peace agreement with the left-wing FARC rebel group.

:12:38. > :12:46.The announcement came after nearly four years of negotiations.

:12:47. > :12:50.Details of the deal will now go before the Colombian

:12:51. > :12:53.parliament and a referendum is expected in October.

:12:54. > :13:02.Natalio Cosoy reports from the Colombian capital, Bogota.

:13:03. > :13:09.After many years of fighting, kidnapping and war, and four years

:13:10. > :13:16.of negotiations with the FARC rebels, the Colombian president

:13:17. > :13:19.finally had some good news. TRANSLATION: Today, we can finally

:13:20. > :13:25.say that everything is agreed upon thanks to the titanic efforts of the

:13:26. > :13:30.delegates at the negotiating table, the final pending matters were

:13:31. > :13:37.agreed upon. The conflict, which began in 1964, has fuelled more than

:13:38. > :13:42.260,000 people -- killed. Uprooted almost 7 million, and left 45,000

:13:43. > :13:49.missing. The illegal trade in cocaine has fuelled the conflict,

:13:50. > :13:52.but has been funding the FARC rebels and drawing other groups into one of

:13:53. > :13:59.the most protracted conflicts in the world. In the capital city, Bogota,

:14:00. > :14:05.Colombia 's took to the streets to celebrate the historic peace deal.

:14:06. > :14:09.TRANSLATION: This announcement is important for Colombians. Most of us

:14:10. > :14:17.have been born in a country at war and this offers a way of hope, and

:14:18. > :14:20.the chance of a bright future. TRANSLATION: It is very moving. My

:14:21. > :14:23.father and grandparents have been victims of the violence. Giving is a

:14:24. > :14:31.chance as a society is very exciting. Everyone here is a firm

:14:32. > :14:36.supporter of the peace process but there are many in Colombia who are

:14:37. > :14:44.wary of these agreements and feel that they could give impunity to the

:14:45. > :14:47.rebels. It will be signed up to a vote in October if they approve the

:14:48. > :14:59.agreements, and there is finally peace with the FARC in Colombia. For

:15:00. > :15:04.now, roughly 7000 FARC Green-Ellis in the jungles and plains of the

:15:05. > :15:14.Andes are resting their guns, and after the war, they people are

:15:15. > :15:18.beginning to enjoy other pursuits. We have reports that an American

:15:19. > :15:23.Navy ship has filed three warning shots after an Iranian vessel made

:15:24. > :15:28.an approach at sea. This happened between the Gulf of Oman and the

:15:29. > :15:31.Persian Gulf. According to the US defence official, the Iranians

:15:32. > :15:35.vessel carried out unsafe, unprofessional manoeuvres. This was

:15:36. > :15:38.after the US reported a similar incident with an Iranian vessel on

:15:39. > :15:41.Wednesday. The British government has

:15:42. > :15:43.restated its goal of cutting the number of migrants coming

:15:44. > :15:45.into the country to New, official figures reveal

:15:46. > :15:48.that the figure remains 327,000 more people came to the UK

:15:49. > :15:55.than left, in the year to March. Cutting migration from EU countries

:15:56. > :15:58.is a key aim for British officials On a farm in Kent, Bulgarians

:15:59. > :16:13.and Romanians help produce strawberries for high street

:16:14. > :16:16.supermarkets - evidence of how EU migration has grown to support

:16:17. > :16:21.substantial parts of the UK economy. The Government interprets the Brexit

:16:22. > :16:26.vote as a clear mandate to reduce net migration down to the tens

:16:27. > :16:31.of thousands, but as yet there is no clear strategy

:16:32. > :16:34.as to how they'll achieve it, I'm very concerned that we might not

:16:35. > :16:38.have sufficient labour post-Brexit, and I'd like the Government to fully

:16:39. > :16:45.engage with agriculture and horticulture to get a visa

:16:46. > :16:48.restricted work scheme in place so we have enough people

:16:49. > :16:53.to harvest our crops. There have been suggestions that

:16:54. > :16:55.Britain might expand its Seasonal Agricultural Workers Scheme for low

:16:56. > :16:58.skilled EU migrants, an idea that would prevent people

:16:59. > :17:01.like Cesar from staying on after the harvest

:17:02. > :17:07.is safely gathered in. Well, my plan now is to carry

:17:08. > :17:10.on into the winter, and after It's not just

:17:11. > :17:16.agriculture, of course. If Theresa May is serious

:17:17. > :17:22.about reducing net migration by two-thirds, Britain is going to have

:17:23. > :17:25.to adapt to potential labour shortages in the hospitality sector,

:17:26. > :17:27.in the care sector, in construction, A report today calculates that

:17:28. > :17:36.5% of all health service staff in England are EU migrants,

:17:37. > :17:39.one in ten doctors, warning that the NHS could face

:17:40. > :17:41.collapse unless a way is found to retain European staff,

:17:42. > :17:44.but the Government is suggesting a shift away from our addiction

:17:45. > :17:47.to cheap foreign labour. It's not just doctors

:17:48. > :17:50.and professionals. A lot of the sort of jobs

:17:51. > :17:53.we need in the economy, we don't have the skills,

:17:54. > :17:58.and I think the challenge for us is through the apprenticeship

:17:59. > :17:59.programme, through that they go on the train

:18:00. > :18:03.to make sure British people This part of Kent voted

:18:04. > :18:06.overwhelmingly for Brexit, so what do the people of Rochester

:18:07. > :18:08.think UK immigration policy I think they should all go back

:18:09. > :18:13.to where they belong, really. Our country is ruined

:18:14. > :18:15.now, isn't it? There are no houses for us,

:18:16. > :18:20.there are no jobs. I'd like them to do

:18:21. > :18:22.what we voted for, really, which is to make it much lower,

:18:23. > :18:25.much fairer, and a points-based The people who come over here,

:18:26. > :18:30.they are working in the nursing homes, they are working

:18:31. > :18:33.in the health sector, they are doing jobs we don't want to do,

:18:34. > :18:38.ie cleaning or whatever it may Absolutely, I think we should let

:18:39. > :18:44.in the majority of them. The Brexit vote didn't resolve

:18:45. > :18:46.the immigration debate. If anything, it has prompted

:18:47. > :18:52.new and vital arguments. Well, now to politics

:18:53. > :18:55.here in the United States. Republican presidential nominee

:18:56. > :18:58.Donald Trump is making a push Earlier today he held a round-table

:18:59. > :19:06.event at his New York offices Mr Trump is trying to win over these

:19:07. > :19:11.voters, who polls show overwhelmingly support

:19:12. > :19:15.Democrat Hillary Clinton. Yesterday at a rally in Jackson,

:19:16. > :19:25.Mississippi, the Republican nominee had strong words for his Democrat

:19:26. > :19:28.rival, saying she is not a champion Hillary Clinton is a bigot, who sees

:19:29. > :19:37.people of colour only as votes, not as human beings

:19:38. > :19:41.worthy of a better future. She's going to do nothing

:19:42. > :19:45.for African-Americans. She's going to do nothing

:19:46. > :20:02.for the Hispanics. Strong words, there. But Hillary

:20:03. > :20:10.Clinton enjoys vast support from minorities, so why is he calling her

:20:11. > :20:14.a bigot? It is out of the traditional play but to attack a

:20:15. > :20:18.candidate at their strength. This is a strength of Hillary Clinton. She

:20:19. > :20:22.has vast support among minority voters. It is blunt language, but it

:20:23. > :20:27.is not surprising that he's trying to damage her a little bit. You

:20:28. > :20:31.don't go after the Uighurs, you go after where they are strongest. This

:20:32. > :20:38.is usually done by surrogates and not by the candidate themselves.

:20:39. > :20:42.When George W Bush went after John Kerry, he had someone else, after

:20:43. > :20:46.his world record instead of seeing it himself. What about Donald Trump

:20:47. > :20:51.'s Mac stance on immigration was Jarabulus lots of people he seems to

:20:52. > :20:56.be backpedalling from his original stance, that he should build a wall

:20:57. > :21:01.and kick everybody out? He has quit talking about the wall. He says that

:21:02. > :21:08.it will still be built. But sending people out of the country? That is

:21:09. > :21:12.softening. He says there are people here who have been here for ten

:21:13. > :21:16.years, they are not all bad. He is realising that he just can't do

:21:17. > :21:20.that. It would cost too much money and would break up families. The

:21:21. > :21:24.question is whether his core base of support will be on board with him on

:21:25. > :21:31.that. They see him as a central part of his message. They see that

:21:32. > :21:36.they're out to get the average working both because of trade deals

:21:37. > :21:39.and immigration and if he backs off on immigration that could call into

:21:40. > :21:43.question all of this. And I don't think that they are going to buy a

:21:44. > :21:48.couple of lines in a speech after he spent an entire year talking about

:21:49. > :21:51.how he wants to crack down on Hispanic voters. Will all this back

:21:52. > :21:56.and forth have any affect on the boat on the day? We have two one

:21:57. > :22:03.half months until the vote. That is the big question. Right now, we hear

:22:04. > :22:08.some Hispanic supporters say, we are looking at his track record. He may

:22:09. > :22:12.be having a moment where he is realising how impractical this is,

:22:13. > :22:15.but also, he's looking at the opinion polls and seen the bottom

:22:16. > :22:18.dropping out of the Hispanic vote. He's decided he needs to do

:22:19. > :22:21.something to address it. That doesn't seem to have done it. Thank

:22:22. > :22:23.you very much. Now to Russia, where the BBC Pop Up

:22:24. > :22:26.team is once again covering the stories you the viewers

:22:27. > :22:28.have asked for. The country has long struggled

:22:29. > :22:30.with overcrowded children's homes and a large number of orphans

:22:31. > :22:33.in need of care. But for more than a decade,

:22:34. > :22:36.a small village south of Moscow has been experimenting

:22:37. > :22:38.with what the founders think may be a novel solution to support both
