Washington, I'm Jane O'Brien. Today Reporting from | :00:00. | :00:17. | |
Rescue workers in Italy fight to save people from a powerful | :00:18. | :00:26. | |
earthquake that has killed at least 250. Strong after-shocks are | :00:27. | :00:27. | |
hampering recovery efforts. Just have a look over here. All that dust | :00:28. | :00:31. | |
has been caused by Vinny after-shock. Turkey ramps up its | :00:32. | :00:40. | |
offensive against so-called Islamic State, sending more tanks into | :00:41. | :00:41. | |
Syria. A peace deal is finally | :00:42. | :00:43. | |
reached in Colombia. More on the historic agreement | :00:44. | :00:45. | |
struck between the Colombian Government and left-wing | :00:46. | :00:46. | |
guerilla group, the FARC. And the BBC Pop Up team | :00:47. | :00:48. | |
is in Russia, with a look at one small village's success in giving | :00:49. | :00:52. | |
foster families Central Italy has been hit | :00:53. | :00:53. | |
by a series of powerful They've hampered rescue | :00:54. | :01:08. | |
teams on the ground who are racing to find survivors | :01:09. | :01:15. | |
of Wednesday's earthquake. The number of people killed in towns | :01:16. | :01:17. | |
near the epicentre has climbed The shallow 6.2 magnitude earthquake | :01:18. | :01:22. | |
was centred between two small towns, Look at the town of Amatrice and see | :01:23. | :01:27. | |
if you can find anywhere The quake damaged or destroyed | :01:28. | :01:45. | |
much of its historic centre. This afternoon, there | :01:46. | :01:48. | |
was a large after-shock. The ground has just shaken again | :01:49. | :02:00. | |
here, and You will see all that dust has | :02:01. | :02:09. | |
been caused We heard and we felt the entire | :02:10. | :02:15. | |
tarmac here, This woman is still recovering | :02:16. | :02:22. | |
from the quake itself. She and her family were sleeping at | :02:23. | :02:31. | |
home when they felt the ground move. TRANSLATION: You can't | :02:32. | :02:41. | |
understand it. It is as if you see | :02:42. | :02:43. | |
the face of death. One girl underneath this rubble | :02:44. | :02:46. | |
knows what that was like. Rescuers found her legs first | :02:47. | :02:59. | |
Julia was trapped. and they pulled her out to | :03:00. | :03:04. | |
cheers. This is what rescuers | :03:05. | :03:11. | |
have to deal with. In the summer this area is full | :03:12. | :03:17. | |
of foreign tourists, making it much harder | :03:18. | :03:19. | |
to track who survived In Amatrice we watched | :03:20. | :03:24. | |
rescuers search Two hours later they | :03:25. | :03:27. | |
pulled out a body. This is what the loss | :03:28. | :03:32. | |
of hope looks like. Relief workers, clearly | :03:33. | :03:46. | |
exhausted, say it is It is so difficult, | :03:47. | :03:48. | |
this man told me. The sniffer dogs are not | :03:49. | :03:53. | |
finding anything. The youngest may have no idea | :03:54. | :03:56. | |
a new temporary home in the park. what they | :03:57. | :04:00. | |
have all just lived through. Jenny Hill is in the tiny village of | :04:01. | :04:14. | |
Casale, near Amatrice. This is the tiny, | :04:15. | :04:24. | |
historic hamlet of Casale. It's one of dozens dotted | :04:25. | :04:26. | |
around the countryside. Tiny, very old places, | :04:27. | :04:30. | |
idyllic places. Rescue teams who have been working | :04:31. | :04:31. | |
here throughout the day, overnight, tell us that 15 people | :04:32. | :04:37. | |
lost their lives pulling bodies from | :04:38. | :04:39. | |
the wreckage of these homes. In fact, the last | :04:40. | :04:45. | |
of those bodies has only just been loaded | :04:46. | :04:47. | |
onto a trolley and taken away. It is extraordinarily distressing | :04:48. | :04:53. | |
work for the rescue workers. It's not long since there | :04:54. | :04:55. | |
was a violent after-shock which went on for several seconds, | :04:56. | :05:01. | |
knocking people off their feet. It's unnerving if you are just | :05:02. | :05:05. | |
experiencing it, but imagine being amongst these partially | :05:06. | :05:08. | |
collapsed, unstable It's a very difficult job | :05:09. | :05:09. | |
for the rescuers and this region They are still dealing with these | :05:10. | :05:15. | |
terrible after-shocks and at some point, of course, they are | :05:16. | :05:29. | |
going to have to clean up I think Casale is really very | :05:30. | :05:31. | |
striking because when you look at these houses here, | :05:32. | :05:36. | |
you really get the sense of an idyllic place, | :05:37. | :05:38. | |
somewhere where people go to relax, Turkey has sent more tanks | :05:39. | :05:40. | |
into Syria today as part of its offensive against so-called | :05:41. | :05:57. | |
Islamic State. It's Turkey's biggest intervention | :05:58. | :05:59. | |
in Syria's five-year war, and with the help of Syrian rebels | :06:00. | :06:01. | |
has focused so far on the former | :06:02. | :06:03. | |
IS stronghold of Jarabulus. Today the BBC obtained dramatic | :06:04. | :06:05. | |
pictures of the assault. From the border, our Turkey | :06:06. | :06:07. | |
correspondent Mark Lowen Savouring the liberation | :06:08. | :06:09. | |
from jihadists. "The heroes are inside Jarabulus," | :06:10. | :06:22. | |
says a rebel soldier. Exclusive pictures showing Syrian | :06:23. | :06:25. | |
fighters entering a stronghold The offensive began yesterday | :06:26. | :06:27. | |
morning. Syrian rebels backed by Turkey | :06:28. | :06:39. | |
preparing for battle. The aim, to push Islamic State out | :06:40. | :06:43. | |
of the key border town that But Turkey had another target, too, | :06:44. | :06:46. | |
its commander telling fighters, "Kurdish separatists | :06:47. | :06:54. | |
have emptied Arab towns Pushing back the Kurds was a Turkish | :06:55. | :06:57. | |
priority in the offensive. Turkish tanks launched | :06:58. | :07:09. | |
the operation, firing first from Turkey before crossing | :07:10. | :07:11. | |
over the border. That paved way for a ground | :07:12. | :07:15. | |
offensive by hundreds of rebel soldiers, | :07:16. | :07:17. | |
meeting limited resistance. Villagers along the way were barren, | :07:18. | :07:19. | |
emptied by Islamic State. We will never know what happened | :07:20. | :07:28. | |
to the residents. Here, a fighter orders | :07:29. | :07:35. | |
buildings and cars searched And then they reached it, a | :07:36. | :07:37. | |
triumphant entrance into Jarabulus. The infamous Islamic State black | :07:38. | :07:46. | |
once marked their vicious rule but they seem to have withdrawn | :07:47. | :07:50. | |
even before the assault. "In the name of Allah, we promised | :07:51. | :08:01. | |
and we kept our promise," he says. Jarabulus has been completely | :08:02. | :08:05. | |
liberated, people But which people? | :08:06. | :08:06. | |
The town looks deserted. And so Islamic State has been | :08:07. | :08:11. | |
cleared with the warning Victory is sweet, but fierce | :08:12. | :08:13. | |
battles lie ahead. Well, as the fight against | :08:14. | :08:26. | |
Islamic State continues, conditions inside Syria | :08:27. | :08:28. | |
are growing worse. Russia has agreed to a 48 hour | :08:29. | :08:31. | |
humanitarian cease fire to enable aid to reach two million | :08:32. | :08:33. | |
people in Aleppo. For more on the situation, | :08:34. | :08:36. | |
I'm joined by PJ Crowley, former US State | :08:37. | :08:38. | |
Department spokesman. Why has it taken so long when some | :08:39. | :08:49. | |
of the most distressing images have been coming out of Aleppo, to agree | :08:50. | :08:59. | |
to this 48-hour window? You have to look at it more broadly. We have | :09:00. | :09:02. | |
defined the conflict in terms of Islamic State. But this is easily a | :09:03. | :09:08. | |
10- sided conflict. It makes it very difficult even to define what the | :09:09. | :09:13. | |
Syrian civil war is about and how to manage what is happening on the | :09:14. | :09:18. | |
ground right now and to get to an acceptable, political solution that | :09:19. | :09:22. | |
every one of the protagonists inside Syria can live with. And the reality | :09:23. | :09:27. | |
is, we are talking about Aleppo, talking about the prospective peace | :09:28. | :09:31. | |
agreement, talking about Jarabulus, the dynamic inside Syria, the key | :09:32. | :09:38. | |
players are jockeying to try to obtain as much control of territory | :09:39. | :09:42. | |
as they can to influence that the eventual solution. And the key | :09:43. | :09:47. | |
example as you have just heard is Jarabulus. Here, you have the Turks | :09:48. | :09:53. | |
fighting the Kurds, who have been an ally of the US. What is the US | :09:54. | :09:59. | |
priority right now? It is to defeat Islamic State and eliminate the | :10:00. | :10:03. | |
caliphate, but for a country like Turkey how that is accomplished | :10:04. | :10:10. | |
matters profoundly. Around Jarabulus you have two Kurdish enclaves, the | :10:11. | :10:14. | |
Kurdish allies of the US, if you will. They would love to consolidate | :10:15. | :10:20. | |
and on planes that would give them a stronger position when it does come | :10:21. | :10:24. | |
to an eventual negotiation. That is highly problematic for the Turks. | :10:25. | :10:29. | |
Because the key ally of the United States who has done the most, who | :10:30. | :10:37. | |
has been most effective is the PKK, and also the PKK, there's been a | :10:38. | :10:42. | |
long-standing confrontation between them and the Turkish government. The | :10:43. | :10:47. | |
reality on the ground is that we're going to see these collisions of | :10:48. | :10:53. | |
interest for some time. Absolutely. What round is there for the next | :10:54. | :10:57. | |
round of peace talks when Sergei Lavrov meets John Kerry in Geneva? | :10:58. | :11:02. | |
It is important to try to plough the ground that is there and to reach | :11:03. | :11:09. | |
understandings when you can, but fundamentally, at the dynamic on the | :11:10. | :11:14. | |
ground when it supports a political negotiation in my mind, tragically, | :11:15. | :11:17. | |
for Syria, we still have weeks, months, perhaps even years before | :11:18. | :11:22. | |
the situation on the ground clarifies to the extent that a rule | :11:23. | :11:26. | |
negotiated solution becomes plausible. | :11:27. | :11:29. | |
Now a look at some of the day's other news. | :11:30. | :11:31. | |
Myanmar's President, Utin Chaw, has visited one of the country's | :11:32. | :11:34. | |
most significant heritage sites, damaged by a powerful | :11:35. | :11:36. | |
Some of the centuries-old pagodas and temples in the ancient | :11:37. | :11:39. | |
city of Bagan were hit by the 6.8 magnitude quake. | :11:40. | :11:42. | |
It shook buildings across the country, and tremors were felt | :11:43. | :11:44. | |
as far away as Thailand, Bangladesh and eastern India. | :11:45. | :11:52. | |
The impeachment trial of suspended Brazilian President | :11:53. | :11:57. | |
She's accused of tampering with the budget | :11:58. | :12:00. | |
saying she's the victim of a political coup. | :12:01. | :12:06. | |
The Senate is hearing from witnesses. | :12:07. | :12:08. | |
Ms Rousseff will start her defence in person on Monday. | :12:09. | :12:13. | |
The world's first self-driving taxis have started picking up | :12:14. | :12:15. | |
A US based start-up firm, Nu-Tonomy, is offering the service and plans | :12:16. | :12:21. | |
to start with six cars for now, growing to around 12 | :12:22. | :12:23. | |
Uber is planning a very similar project to be launched in Pittsburgh | :12:24. | :12:30. | |
After a half century of civil war, Colombia's government has reached | :12:31. | :12:35. | |
a historic peace agreement with the left-wing FARC rebel group. | :12:36. | :12:37. | |
The announcement came after nearly four years of negotiations. | :12:38. | :12:46. | |
Details of the deal will now go before the Colombian | :12:47. | :12:50. | |
parliament and a referendum is expected in October. | :12:51. | :12:53. | |
Natalio Cosoy reports from the Colombian capital, Bogota. | :12:54. | :13:02. | |
After many years of fighting, kidnapping and war, and four years | :13:03. | :13:09. | |
of negotiations with the FARC rebels, the Colombian president | :13:10. | :13:16. | |
finally had some good news. TRANSLATION: Today, we can finally | :13:17. | :13:19. | |
say that everything is agreed upon thanks to the titanic efforts of the | :13:20. | :13:25. | |
delegates at the negotiating table, the final pending matters were | :13:26. | :13:30. | |
agreed upon. The conflict, which began in 1964, has fuelled more than | :13:31. | :13:37. | |
260,000 people -- killed. Uprooted almost 7 million, and left 45,000 | :13:38. | :13:42. | |
missing. The illegal trade in cocaine has fuelled the conflict, | :13:43. | :13:49. | |
but has been funding the FARC rebels and drawing other groups into one of | :13:50. | :13:52. | |
the most protracted conflicts in the world. In the capital city, Bogota, | :13:53. | :13:59. | |
Colombia 's took to the streets to celebrate the historic peace deal. | :14:00. | :14:05. | |
TRANSLATION: This announcement is important for Colombians. Most of us | :14:06. | :14:09. | |
have been born in a country at war and this offers a way of hope, and | :14:10. | :14:17. | |
the chance of a bright future. TRANSLATION: It is very moving. My | :14:18. | :14:20. | |
father and grandparents have been victims of the violence. Giving is a | :14:21. | :14:23. | |
chance as a society is very exciting. Everyone here is a firm | :14:24. | :14:31. | |
supporter of the peace process but there are many in Colombia who are | :14:32. | :14:36. | |
wary of these agreements and feel that they could give impunity to the | :14:37. | :14:44. | |
rebels. It will be signed up to a vote in October if they approve the | :14:45. | :14:47. | |
agreements, and there is finally peace with the FARC in Colombia. For | :14:48. | :14:59. | |
now, roughly 7000 FARC Green-Ellis in the jungles and plains of the | :15:00. | :15:04. | |
Andes are resting their guns, and after the war, they people are | :15:05. | :15:14. | |
beginning to enjoy other pursuits. We have reports that an American | :15:15. | :15:18. | |
Navy ship has filed three warning shots after an Iranian vessel made | :15:19. | :15:23. | |
an approach at sea. This happened between the Gulf of Oman and the | :15:24. | :15:28. | |
Persian Gulf. According to the US defence official, the Iranians | :15:29. | :15:31. | |
vessel carried out unsafe, unprofessional manoeuvres. This was | :15:32. | :15:35. | |
after the US reported a similar incident with an Iranian vessel on | :15:36. | :15:38. | |
Wednesday. The British government has | :15:39. | :15:41. | |
restated its goal of cutting the number of migrants coming | :15:42. | :15:43. | |
into the country to New, official figures reveal | :15:44. | :15:45. | |
that the figure remains 327,000 more people came to the UK | :15:46. | :15:48. | |
than left, in the year to March. Cutting migration from EU countries | :15:49. | :15:55. | |
is a key aim for British officials On a farm in Kent, Bulgarians | :15:56. | :15:58. | |
and Romanians help produce strawberries for high street | :15:59. | :16:13. | |
supermarkets - evidence of how EU migration has grown to support | :16:14. | :16:16. | |
substantial parts of the UK economy. The Government interprets the Brexit | :16:17. | :16:21. | |
vote as a clear mandate to reduce net migration down to the tens | :16:22. | :16:26. | |
of thousands, but as yet there is no clear strategy | :16:27. | :16:31. | |
as to how they'll achieve it, I'm very concerned that we might not | :16:32. | :16:34. | |
have sufficient labour post-Brexit, and I'd like the Government to fully | :16:35. | :16:38. | |
engage with agriculture and horticulture to get a visa | :16:39. | :16:45. | |
restricted work scheme in place so we have enough people | :16:46. | :16:48. | |
to harvest our crops. There have been suggestions that | :16:49. | :16:53. | |
Britain might expand its Seasonal Agricultural Workers Scheme for low | :16:54. | :16:55. | |
skilled EU migrants, an idea that would prevent people | :16:56. | :16:58. | |
like Cesar from staying on after the harvest | :16:59. | :17:01. | |
is safely gathered in. Well, my plan now is to carry | :17:02. | :17:07. | |
on into the winter, and after It's not just | :17:08. | :17:10. | |
agriculture, of course. If Theresa May is serious | :17:11. | :17:16. | |
about reducing net migration by two-thirds, Britain is going to have | :17:17. | :17:22. | |
to adapt to potential labour shortages in the hospitality sector, | :17:23. | :17:25. | |
in the care sector, in construction, A report today calculates that | :17:26. | :17:27. | |
5% of all health service staff in England are EU migrants, | :17:28. | :17:36. | |
one in ten doctors, warning that the NHS could face | :17:37. | :17:39. | |
collapse unless a way is found to retain European staff, | :17:40. | :17:41. | |
but the Government is suggesting a shift away from our addiction | :17:42. | :17:44. | |
to cheap foreign labour. It's not just doctors | :17:45. | :17:47. | |
and professionals. A lot of the sort of jobs | :17:48. | :17:50. | |
we need in the economy, we don't have the skills, | :17:51. | :17:53. | |
and I think the challenge for us is through the apprenticeship | :17:54. | :17:58. | |
programme, through that they go on the train | :17:59. | :17:59. | |
to make sure British people This part of Kent voted | :18:00. | :18:03. | |
overwhelmingly for Brexit, so what do the people of Rochester | :18:04. | :18:06. | |
think UK immigration policy I think they should all go back | :18:07. | :18:08. | |
to where they belong, really. Our country is ruined | :18:09. | :18:13. | |
now, isn't it? There are no houses for us, | :18:14. | :18:15. | |
there are no jobs. I'd like them to do | :18:16. | :18:20. | |
what we voted for, really, which is to make it much lower, | :18:21. | :18:22. | |
much fairer, and a points-based The people who come over here, | :18:23. | :18:25. | |
they are working in the nursing homes, they are working | :18:26. | :18:30. | |
in the health sector, they are doing jobs we don't want to do, | :18:31. | :18:33. | |
ie cleaning or whatever it may Absolutely, I think we should let | :18:34. | :18:38. | |
in the majority of them. The Brexit vote didn't resolve | :18:39. | :18:44. | |
the immigration debate. If anything, it has prompted | :18:45. | :18:46. | |
new and vital arguments. Well, now to politics | :18:47. | :18:52. | |
here in the United States. Republican presidential nominee | :18:53. | :18:55. | |
Donald Trump is making a push Earlier today he held a round-table | :18:56. | :18:58. | |
event at his New York offices Mr Trump is trying to win over these | :18:59. | :19:06. | |
voters, who polls show overwhelmingly support | :19:07. | :19:11. | |
Democrat Hillary Clinton. Yesterday at a rally in Jackson, | :19:12. | :19:15. | |
Mississippi, the Republican nominee had strong words for his Democrat | :19:16. | :19:25. | |
rival, saying she is not a champion Hillary Clinton is a bigot, who sees | :19:26. | :19:28. | |
people of colour only as votes, not as human beings | :19:29. | :19:37. | |
worthy of a better future. She's going to do nothing | :19:38. | :19:41. | |
for African-Americans. She's going to do nothing | :19:42. | :19:45. | |
for the Hispanics. Strong words, there. But Hillary | :19:46. | :20:02. | |
Clinton enjoys vast support from minorities, so why is he calling her | :20:03. | :20:10. | |
a bigot? It is out of the traditional play but to attack a | :20:11. | :20:14. | |
candidate at their strength. This is a strength of Hillary Clinton. She | :20:15. | :20:18. | |
has vast support among minority voters. It is blunt language, but it | :20:19. | :20:22. | |
is not surprising that he's trying to damage her a little bit. You | :20:23. | :20:27. | |
don't go after the Uighurs, you go after where they are strongest. This | :20:28. | :20:31. | |
is usually done by surrogates and not by the candidate themselves. | :20:32. | :20:38. | |
When George W Bush went after John Kerry, he had someone else, after | :20:39. | :20:42. | |
his world record instead of seeing it himself. What about Donald Trump | :20:43. | :20:46. | |
's Mac stance on immigration was Jarabulus lots of people he seems to | :20:47. | :20:51. | |
be backpedalling from his original stance, that he should build a wall | :20:52. | :20:56. | |
and kick everybody out? He has quit talking about the wall. He says that | :20:57. | :21:01. | |
it will still be built. But sending people out of the country? That is | :21:02. | :21:08. | |
softening. He says there are people here who have been here for ten | :21:09. | :21:12. | |
years, they are not all bad. He is realising that he just can't do | :21:13. | :21:16. | |
that. It would cost too much money and would break up families. The | :21:17. | :21:20. | |
question is whether his core base of support will be on board with him on | :21:21. | :21:24. | |
that. They see him as a central part of his message. They see that | :21:25. | :21:31. | |
they're out to get the average working both because of trade deals | :21:32. | :21:36. | |
and immigration and if he backs off on immigration that could call into | :21:37. | :21:39. | |
question all of this. And I don't think that they are going to buy a | :21:40. | :21:43. | |
couple of lines in a speech after he spent an entire year talking about | :21:44. | :21:48. | |
how he wants to crack down on Hispanic voters. Will all this back | :21:49. | :21:51. | |
and forth have any affect on the boat on the day? We have two one | :21:52. | :21:56. | |
half months until the vote. That is the big question. Right now, we hear | :21:57. | :22:03. | |
some Hispanic supporters say, we are looking at his track record. He may | :22:04. | :22:08. | |
be having a moment where he is realising how impractical this is, | :22:09. | :22:12. | |
but also, he's looking at the opinion polls and seen the bottom | :22:13. | :22:15. | |
dropping out of the Hispanic vote. He's decided he needs to do | :22:16. | :22:18. | |
something to address it. That doesn't seem to have done it. Thank | :22:19. | :22:21. | |
you very much. Now to Russia, where the BBC Pop Up | :22:22. | :22:23. | |
team is once again covering the stories you the viewers | :22:24. | :22:26. | |
have asked for. The country has long struggled | :22:27. | :22:28. | |
with overcrowded children's homes and a large number of orphans | :22:29. | :22:30. | |
in need of care. But for more than a decade, | :22:31. | :22:33. | |
a small village south of Moscow has been experimenting | :22:34. | :22:36. | |
with what the founders think may be a novel solution to support both | :22:37. | :22:38. | |
foster children and the families We go into orphanages, | :22:39. | :22:41. | |
and try to find children who would With from 5-3 children | :22:42. | :23:30. | |
in every family, foster If they want to be | :23:31. | :23:46. | |
inside the family. It's a very unusual | :23:47. | :24:02. | |
way of taking care of There was no tradition | :24:03. | :24:07. | |
in Soviet times. And there was absolutely no | :24:08. | :25:04. | |
tradition of fostering. Something is changing | :25:05. | :25:23. | |
in the brains of people. A quick reminder of the main news. | :25:24. | :25:44. | |
Rescue workers in Italy are racing to save survivors from a powerful | :25:45. | :25:47. | |
earthquake that has killed at least 250 people. Dozens are believed to | :25:48. | :25:52. | |
still be trapped, as strong after-shocks hinder recovery | :25:53. | :25:53. | |
efforts. But for now, from me Jane O'Brien | :25:54. | :25:55. | |
and the rest of the team, goodbye. Hello there, some heavy, thundery | :25:56. | :26:09. | |
downpours rumbling across the country at the moment. But they will | :26:10. | :26:15. | |
clear through and tomorrow should be a fine | :26:16. | :26:17. |
