:01:50. > :01:52.Officials say the search for survivors will continue

:01:53. > :01:54.until they are certain that no-one else was alive.

:01:55. > :02:07.Our correspondent James Reynolds sent this report.

:02:08. > :02:11.This morning, in a municipal gym, Italy improvise a state funeral.

:02:12. > :02:19.The country's president tried to comfort each family.

:02:20. > :02:22.He has declared this a day of national mourning.

:02:23. > :02:25.The coffins of more than 30 victims were lined up.

:02:26. > :02:35.They will all be buried in the ground that claimed their lives.

:02:36. > :02:37.During the service, a bishop announced

:02:38. > :02:51.In this hall, on this day, consolation came without words.

:02:52. > :02:54.TRANSLATION: When the earthquake struck, my friend tried

:02:55. > :03:03.Among the congregation, there were a number of rescuers

:03:04. > :03:08.taking their first break from the relief efforts.

:03:09. > :03:12.TRANSLATION: My colleagues and I were the ones who arrived

:03:13. > :03:17.straight after the earthquake struck in the middle of the night.

:03:18. > :03:31.and being here was the least we could do, to be year.

:03:32. > :03:41.This for Italy is its most intense period of mourning in years.

:03:42. > :03:44.The country will hope that this ceremony and these crowds will have

:03:45. > :03:46.given some consolation to the families of the dead.

:03:47. > :03:49.This man just wants to see what has happened to his house.

:03:50. > :03:51.Firefighters took him through the ruins of his village

:03:52. > :03:55.We left the house a couple of days before the quake, he says.

:03:56. > :03:59.His neighbour, who was here, was killed.

:04:00. > :04:01.Relief workers allow survivors to pick up belongings

:04:02. > :04:06.They carry away pieces of their old lives which they will

:04:07. > :04:19.James spent the day in Amatrice and he told me how people are coping

:04:20. > :04:29.almost three days on. A lot of the town isn't here any

:04:30. > :04:34.more. It a lot of the survivors have been moved to sports tents. Most of

:04:35. > :04:40.the people you see in the town are rescue workers, firefighters, even

:04:41. > :04:48.police officers and the army as well and structural experts. This has

:04:49. > :04:51.become an area which they will still tried to recover bodies and try to

:04:52. > :04:55.rebuild. What about the rescue effort, is

:04:56. > :05:00.there any hope any survivors will be found? Not from anybody my

:05:01. > :05:05.colleagues and I have spoken to in recent days. You can probably hear

:05:06. > :05:09.that a digger is going past. The relief work is still continuing but

:05:10. > :05:13.nobody expects anyone else to be found. The most recent body to be

:05:14. > :05:17.pulled out of the rubble was on Wednesday evening and that was

:05:18. > :05:25.several days ago and they don't effect any change. 2500 people have

:05:26. > :05:31.been made homeless, what talk is there of the reconstruction effort?

:05:32. > :05:35.I think that is still too early, but it is something New Year people

:05:36. > :05:39.talking about amongst themselves. My colleagues and I were in a small

:05:40. > :05:43.village on Friday and they said they didn't think there was any future,

:05:44. > :05:47.that it would simply be raised to the ground and people moved

:05:48. > :05:51.elsewhere. The arm not just worried about losing their past, they are

:05:52. > :05:54.worried about losing their future. They think their memories have been

:05:55. > :05:57.destroyed and they are not sure where they will live in the future.

:05:58. > :06:00.And there's much more detail on the Italian earthquake

:06:01. > :06:05.You'll find latest updates, stories of people who survived

:06:06. > :06:07.the tragedy, and aerial photography of the affected areas.

:06:12. > :06:14.Let's go now to the Syrian town of Darayya,

:06:15. > :06:16.which has been under siege for four years.

:06:17. > :06:18.Well, a deal struck between the government

:06:19. > :06:20.and rebel groups has meant that all rebel

:06:21. > :06:22.fighters have left the town, according to the army.

:06:23. > :06:41.Leaving Darayya, perhaps never to return. The last buses taking rebel

:06:42. > :06:46.fighters out of the town on the outskirts of Damascus which held out

:06:47. > :06:49.for four years. Fighters chose to keep their personal weapons and have

:06:50. > :06:54.headed to revel in areas north of the capital, with their families.

:06:55. > :06:59.Convoys of buses took thousands more to reception centres and an

:07:00. > :07:04.uncertain future. Soldiers celebrated their passing, hailing

:07:05. > :07:06.the exodus as a big victory for President Assad.

:07:07. > :07:09.TRANSLATION: After five years of military

:07:10. > :07:18.operations by the Syrian government forces, don't riot -- Amatrice is

:07:19. > :07:23.finally liberated. Later, the armed residents and rebels will be

:07:24. > :07:29.relocated. As the evacuation unfolded, mouth on talks were being

:07:30. > :07:35.held in Geneva between John Kerry and Sergei Lavrov. Represent a size

:07:36. > :07:38.on opposite sides. They reached the concrete agreement on a way to start

:07:39. > :07:43.abortive peace talks but they say they are getting closer and

:07:44. > :07:48.discussions are continuing. Mr Kerry said that they had at least achieve

:07:49. > :07:52.clarity. Something which is lacking on the ground in Syria. A new twist

:07:53. > :07:59.emerged this week as Turkey launched an incursion this week, targeting

:08:00. > :08:05.Islamic State fighters and Kurdish forces. They are part of an alliance

:08:06. > :08:07.which the US force banks. That offensive has been intensified.

:08:08. > :08:15.Turkish warplanes have been in action against Kurdish fighters. It

:08:16. > :08:19.regards the Kurds as as big a threat as the IS. It is yet another

:08:20. > :08:21.publication, raising the stakes in the conflict.

:08:22. > :08:23.Let's take a look at some other stories now.

:08:24. > :08:26.Russian authorities say at least 17 people have been killed by a fire

:08:27. > :08:28.at a warehouse and printing press in Moscow.

:08:29. > :08:31.The victims are reported to be migrant workers from Kyrgyzstan

:08:32. > :08:35.who worked and lived at the warehouse.

:08:36. > :08:38.About 30 French mayors have been urged to follow a court

:08:39. > :08:40.ruling which overturned a controversial burkini

:08:41. > :08:47.France's top administrative court suspended the ban in Villeneuve

:08:48. > :08:52.But a number of mayors have said they will continue

:08:53. > :09:07.Facebook has announced that a feature on its site which shows

:09:08. > :09:12.which stories are trending will no longer be produced by staff, but by

:09:13. > :09:16.an algorithm. It comes after the giant was accused of left-wing bias.

:09:17. > :09:18.Physical fitness has become the latest flash point of the US

:09:19. > :09:22.Donald Trump's doctor has just admitted he spent just five

:09:23. > :09:28.minutes writing a note - which says the 70-year-old would be

:09:29. > :09:30.the "healthiest individual ever elected to the Presidency".

:09:31. > :09:35.Laura Bicker in Washington has more.

:09:36. > :09:45.It started by Donald Trump himself, who said that Hillary Clinton lacked

:09:46. > :09:50.the physical and mental stamina to deal with the so-called Islamic

:09:51. > :09:54.State group. He also implied that she has the language disorder

:09:55. > :10:00.dysphagia. So it went on all week. Hillary Clinton went on a talk show

:10:01. > :10:05.and asked the interviewer to feel her pulse, to laugh it off. Then

:10:06. > :10:10.everybody remember that last December, Dr Harold Bernstein wrote

:10:11. > :10:14.a letter about Donald Trump's health, saying that his laboratory

:10:15. > :10:18.tests were astonishingly excellent and his strength and stamina was

:10:19. > :10:22.extraordinary and as you imagine, that he would be the healthiest

:10:23. > :10:26.individual ever elected to the presidency. So NBC traction down and

:10:27. > :10:32.it does seem that the doctor admits writing that note in five minutes.

:10:33. > :10:36.While waiting for a limousine. He also was asked about the language

:10:37. > :10:41.that he used. He said, I think they're probably picked up Donald

:10:42. > :10:48.Trump's kind of language and then just interpreted it to my own. Let's

:10:49. > :10:52.talk about immigration. Donald Trump has said quite a few controversial

:10:53. > :11:01.comment on that. Is he softening his position on the topic? Well, Donald

:11:02. > :11:05.Trump has built his candidacy on his stance on immigration. He says he

:11:06. > :11:09.will deport 11 million illegal immigrants and build that "Big

:11:10. > :11:17.beautiful wall" on the Mexican border. There has been a softening

:11:18. > :11:21.of this stands recently. He told Fox News that certain people could stay

:11:22. > :11:25.if they paid their taxes. He went the next day to flip-flop on that

:11:26. > :11:30.and said that everybody had to go back. He was supposed to make an

:11:31. > :11:34.immigration speech on Thursday. That was cancelled and his campaign

:11:35. > :11:42.manager is now talking about the deportation squad that was talking

:11:43. > :11:46.about the -- that deportation squad to move these people said that this

:11:47. > :11:51.policy was to be determined. We are waiting to see what it stands will

:11:52. > :11:53.be. He is due at a rally in Iowa and it will be interesting to see what

:11:54. > :11:58.happens there. Stay with us on BBC

:11:59. > :12:06.World News, still to come... A lucky escape for some motorist as

:12:07. > :12:36.a footbridge collapses on a motorway.

:12:37. > :12:43.There is no doubt that this election is an important milestone in East

:12:44. > :12:47.Timor. It will take months and billions of

:12:48. > :12:53.dollars to repair what Katrina achieved in just hours.

:12:54. > :12:59.Three weeks is the longest the great clock has been of duty in 117 years.

:13:00. > :13:03.So it was with great satisfaction that clockmaker John Vernon swung

:13:04. > :13:09.the pendulum to set the clock going again.

:13:10. > :13:17.A day of national mourning in Italy, with a state funeral for 34 more

:13:18. > :13:24.The last buses carrying armed rebels and civilians have been evacuated

:13:25. > :13:28.from the besieged Syrian town of Darayya.

:13:29. > :13:30.Police in Bangladesh say they've shot dead the man suspected

:13:31. > :13:34.of planning last month's attack on a cafe in Dhaka that killed

:13:35. > :13:43.He and two others were killed in a shoot out after

:13:44. > :13:50.Our correspondent Akbar Hossain has more.

:13:51. > :13:58.The death of the man is not surprising to many as police had

:13:59. > :14:00.declared $25,000 reward for providing information. He is

:14:01. > :14:06.described as the organiser of the attack on the cafe in temperate --

:14:07. > :14:11.Dhaka. It was attacked after a tip-off was received. Suspected

:14:12. > :14:21.Islamic resistance were shot dead in the operation along with the man, a

:14:22. > :14:26.Canadian who returned to this area a while ago. Police said they had been

:14:27. > :14:31.following him for a long time. We completed our preparation overnight

:14:32. > :14:34.before conducting the raid. Our main anti-terror operation lasted for one

:14:35. > :14:38.hour. After that we got inside the house and found the dead bodies of

:14:39. > :14:44.three militants including this man. The photos matched with one of the

:14:45. > :14:50.dead religions. It proves that he is the man, that we were looking for

:14:51. > :14:56.for a long time. The death of this man has been described as a success

:14:57. > :15:02.for ongoing terror raids. Senior officers claimed that he planned the

:15:03. > :15:08.whole terrorist attack attack on the cafe and played a role in organising

:15:09. > :15:14.a local jihadi groups which is loyal to Islamic State. And the desk is

:15:15. > :15:17.facing international pressure following the attack. The Prime

:15:18. > :15:21.Minister declared that her government will show no mercy to

:15:22. > :15:25.Islamic militants. Police believe that with the death of this man,

:15:26. > :15:36.they are on the verge of crushing Islamic militancy in Bangladesh.

:15:37. > :15:39.A bridge over a main motorway in the south east of England has

:15:40. > :15:43.A pedestrian footbridge was brought down after a lorry crashed into it -

:15:44. > :15:47.showering debris onto the road underneath.

:15:48. > :15:49.Fortunately nobody is thought to have been seriously hurt.

:15:50. > :15:55.The driver of this truck is counting his blessings.

:15:56. > :15:57.The footbridge just misses cab as it fell.

:15:58. > :15:59.A motorcyclist is pinned to the ground with suspected broken

:16:00. > :16:05.For many others, this was a close call.

:16:06. > :16:16.We were literally a few cars behind so we just saw the bridge

:16:17. > :16:18.come down and obviously, not really expecting that sort

:16:19. > :16:20.of thing to happen, so it was a shock.

:16:21. > :16:28.It is thought that the lorry, carrying a digger, may have been

:16:29. > :16:30.travelling on the hard shoulder of the east side

:16:31. > :16:34.On one of the busiest days of the bank holiday weekend,

:16:35. > :16:36.the closure of the bridge caused disruption.

:16:37. > :16:42.This is one of the main routes to France.

:16:43. > :16:44.There were astonishingly no other injuries in this accident

:16:45. > :16:47.and when you get this close, you can see just how many lucky

:16:48. > :16:56.-- how many lucky escapes there were.

:16:57. > :16:58.Even the driver of that white truck walked away shaken

:16:59. > :17:04.As well as the fallen concrete beam, the lorries would have to be moved

:17:05. > :17:08.and the rest of the bridge will have to be made safe or demolished.

:17:09. > :17:17.Luckily, this is a story of disruption, not a disaster.

:17:18. > :17:24.Now some sport. A late winner from Marcus Rushford made sure Manchester

:17:25. > :17:30.United keep their 100% start to the season with a 1-0 win at Hull city.

:17:31. > :17:34.United put pressure on the defence all game but it was 18-year-old

:17:35. > :17:39.substitute Rasch Road who made a difference. He scored in the 92nd

:17:40. > :17:46.minute. That gives United their third league went after -- out of

:17:47. > :17:51.three. It's an amazing feelings are scored the winner at an away game.

:17:52. > :17:55.Just happy to get the three points. Did they manage to give the special

:17:56. > :17:59.instructions? He said go on and do my best to help the team with the

:18:00. > :18:03.game and that's what we did. Everyone has been together for 90

:18:04. > :18:08.minutes and I'm just very happy. Chelsea made it three wins from

:18:09. > :18:13.three as well in the league. They are under Antonio Conte now. They

:18:14. > :18:22.beat Burnley 3-0 thanks to goals from Eden Hazzard and Willie and.

:18:23. > :18:26.There was -- defeated Burnley have three defeats from their opening

:18:38. > :18:41.before Wes Morgan added his goal after the break. There was a

:18:42. > :18:46.consolation goal for Swansea. Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool drew

:18:47. > :18:53.1-1 in the early kick-off. Everton have moved up to second,

:18:54. > :18:58.their best start to a season in years. Leighton Baines's penalty was

:18:59. > :19:04.saved only for the ball to rebound off the head of Shay given for an

:19:05. > :19:08.own goal. Sunderland were ahead 1-0 before Jay

:19:09. > :19:14.Rodriguez scored for the other side. And Arsenal beat Watford by three

:19:15. > :19:19.goals to one. In Florida, the West Indies have won

:19:20. > :19:24.the most remarkable match of 2020 cricket with Dwayne Rather taking

:19:25. > :19:31.the wicket of captain MS Tony on the final ball. India needed to to win

:19:32. > :19:38.and one to force a super over. They had piled on the attack. In the

:19:39. > :19:49.first of 2T20 into an -- International is added venue.

:19:50. > :20:01.India lost by a single run. Elsewhere in cricket, new South

:20:18. > :20:23.best-of-5 series against Pakistan after a 4- wicket win at Lord's. A

:20:41. > :20:46.The world number one Novak Djokovic admitted that he is not 100% fit as

:20:47. > :20:50.he prepares to defend his US open title on Monday. He has been

:20:51. > :20:54.struggling with a wrist injury which went in first round loss at the

:20:55. > :20:58.Olympics and forced him to miss the Cincinnati Masters. He now knows it

:20:59. > :21:06.is healing and he's delighted to be back on the big stage. Hopefully,

:21:07. > :21:13.physically as well I will be enabled to perform my best. At the moment, I

:21:14. > :21:17.know that there is a little room still for me to get better

:21:18. > :21:22.physically and hopefully that will be the case in the next couple of

:21:23. > :21:29.days. And then when the tournament starts, all the doors are open. You

:21:30. > :21:31.can catch up with all the sport on our website. That is all from me for

:21:32. > :21:34.now. A Nasa spacecraft has

:21:35. > :21:36.made its closest ever approach It soared two and a half thousand

:21:37. > :21:41.miles above the planet at a speed of around 130 thousand

:21:42. > :21:44.miles an hour. It was carrying a panoramic camera

:21:45. > :21:47.on board - and Nasa are expected to release those images

:21:48. > :21:53.in the next few days. Jonathan Amos, who told

:21:54. > :22:11.us what we can expect. We have never sent a probe close to

:22:12. > :22:15.Jupiter, this close to Jupiter during his operational phase. It

:22:16. > :22:20.will gather lots of high-resolution images and we have never had that at

:22:21. > :22:25.Jupiter. We are expecting something bridges rectangular. The camera was

:22:26. > :22:28.not switched on back in July when the probe arrived. The engineers

:22:29. > :22:33.didn't want the bother and convocation of having to take pretty

:22:34. > :22:38.pictures at the same time. The probe went around Jupiter. It has gone all

:22:39. > :22:42.the way around and come back in and the camera is switched on and we are

:22:43. > :22:44.expecting for Nasa to release some remarkable images.
