This is BBC World News Today, broadcasting in the UK | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
US-led coalition forces kill dozens of Syrian soldiers in an air | :00:07. | :00:13. | |
strike they mistakenly believed was targeting | :00:14. | :00:15. | |
This comes just hours after Russia said the situation in Syria | :00:16. | :00:29. | |
This comes just hours after Russia said the situation | :00:30. | :00:31. | |
in Syria was getting worse, with President Putin accusing rebels | :00:32. | :00:34. | |
A Belgian teenager has been helped to die. | :00:35. | :00:48. | |
It's the first case since a law was passed allowing terminally-ill | :00:49. | :00:51. | |
Hillary Clinton accuses her presidential rival Donald Trump | :00:52. | :00:55. | |
of inciting violence, after he says her armed protection | :00:56. | :00:59. | |
should be taken away to "see what happens". | :01:00. | :01:04. | |
And the World biggest beer festival the Oktoberfest opens in Munich, | :01:05. | :01:07. | |
but there's tight security because of terrorist fears. | :01:08. | :01:12. | |
The United States has admitted coalition warplanes fighting | :01:13. | :01:14. | |
the so-called Islamic State in Syria may have accidently bombed | :01:15. | :01:17. | |
government troops, killing many soldiers. | :01:18. | :01:22. | |
The incident happened in the east of the country near | :01:23. | :01:25. | |
There are conflicting reports about how many people | :01:26. | :01:34. | |
Let's go straight to the BBC's Laura Bicker who's in Washington. | :01:35. | :01:47. | |
At a time that the United States is trying to hold together a very | :01:48. | :01:54. | |
fragile ceasefire, it may have made a mistake. This statement from US | :01:55. | :01:58. | |
Central command admits they were carrying out the time they thought | :01:59. | :02:03. | |
they were targeting the so-called Islamic State at that | :02:04. | :02:08. | |
However, when they heard from their Russian counterparts that it was | :02:09. | :02:14. | |
possible they may be heading and striking Syrian forces, they put a | :02:15. | :02:19. | |
halt to those in strikes. No, it does say in this statement that they | :02:20. | :02:23. | |
would never intentionally strike Syrian forces and they would be | :02:24. | :02:27. | |
looking to see what lessons could be learned. To mitigate it, they said | :02:28. | :02:33. | |
they had been tracking this particular group of Islamic State | :02:34. | :02:37. | |
forces for some time. They say they have been carrying out strikes in | :02:38. | :02:41. | |
this area for some time and they had told their Russian could the parts | :02:42. | :02:45. | |
about these coalition strikes. As I said earlier, at this very time when | :02:46. | :02:50. | |
they are trying to negotiate and to hold together a ceasefire on a day | :02:51. | :02:55. | |
when Russia has been accusing the United States of not doing enough to | :02:56. | :02:59. | |
keep it together in Sevier, this happens. | :03:00. | :03:10. | |
What chance now of them coordinating an ear strikes? | :03:11. | :03:17. | |
That was a Russia's accusation all along. They said they really want to | :03:18. | :03:21. | |
negotiate with the United States, they want to know of the positions | :03:22. | :03:26. | |
and use their intelligence and it is something that yesterday during the | :03:27. | :03:31. | |
White House briefing, a number of reporters brought up that there was | :03:32. | :03:37. | |
disquiet in the Pentagon that if the spire holds, that position is known | :03:38. | :03:40. | |
to the Pentagon may be made known to the Russians. If the ceasefire | :03:41. | :03:47. | |
holds, that is what the Secretary of State, John Kerry, has promised the | :03:48. | :03:51. | |
Russians but only if the ceasefire holds. The United States position on | :03:52. | :03:55. | |
a ceasefire is that if the humanitarian aid needed in Sevier | :03:56. | :04:04. | |
does not get through, there will be no deal on negotiations to fate | :04:05. | :04:11. | |
Islamic State and share information. They are kind of at an impasse at | :04:12. | :04:15. | |
the moment. The statement has just come through and there are | :04:16. | :04:18. | |
developments continuing to happen, so it be interesting as we head into | :04:19. | :04:22. | |
the next few hours, to see will happen. | :04:23. | :04:35. | |
Getting aid through to where it's needed | :04:36. | :04:42. | |
has been made harder because of this twist. | :04:43. | :04:50. | |
Now, some believe accepting them would only provide | :04:51. | :04:57. | |
short term relief and not a long-term solution. | :04:58. | :04:59. | |
Aid has been promised but is yet to arrive in eastern Aleppo, | :05:00. | :05:06. | |
Here, people have taken to the streets to say it's not welcome. | :05:07. | :05:10. | |
They protest that opening a road for a few trucks | :05:11. | :05:12. | |
They want a long-term solution which will allow for the road | :05:13. | :05:16. | |
to remain open permanently so some sort of normal life can resume. | :05:17. | :05:19. | |
TRANSLATION: We're here to say no to the aid convoys that | :05:20. | :05:22. | |
The UN is in partnership with the regime. | :05:23. | :05:25. | |
Things are calmer now than before the ceasefire on the Costello Road, | :05:26. | :05:28. | |
the only road into rebel-held areas of the city. | :05:29. | :05:32. | |
Both the US and Russia say they want the truce to be extended, | :05:33. | :05:40. | |
but have accused each other of not doing enough to make it work. | :05:41. | :05:44. | |
Washington says Moscow must use its influence with the Syrian | :05:45. | :05:46. | |
government to allow aid convoys to reach Aleppo. | :05:47. | :06:00. | |
Moscow says they are not being transparent about the terms of the | :06:01. | :06:11. | |
ceasefire. The only reason they are not as because the international | :06:12. | :06:15. | |
community will immediately find out who is not abiding by the deal. | :06:16. | :06:17. | |
As the blame game continues, this is the reality of life for some. | :06:18. | :06:20. | |
This family is now living in a cemetery after their home | :06:21. | :06:23. | |
TRANSLATION: We have been here for three months and my son | :06:24. | :06:32. | |
When our house was hit, his head was hit hard | :06:33. | :06:45. | |
Ever since, he has had difficulties communicating. | :06:46. | :06:47. | |
The UN says it's still waiting for permits from the Syrian | :06:48. | :06:50. | |
government to allow aid trucks into opposition areas. | :06:51. | :06:52. | |
But this protest shows their arrival will not be welcomed by all. | :06:53. | :07:01. | |
A terminally ill teenager in Belgium has been allowed to die | :07:02. | :07:03. | |
in the first such case since a law was passed two years ago. | :07:04. | :07:06. | |
Belgium is the only country in the world that allows children | :07:07. | :07:09. | |
In a minute, we'll hear from a senator who's been one | :07:10. | :07:13. | |
of the driving forces behind the legalisation, | :07:14. | :07:15. | |
but first to speak to the local media was one of the country's | :07:16. | :07:19. | |
euthanasia experts, who also sits on a Federal Control Board. | :07:20. | :07:25. | |
It concerns a miner who was suffering pain from a terminal | :07:26. | :07:40. | |
illness. Fortunately, doesn't happen often that young people are | :07:41. | :07:50. | |
terminally ill. We have created this is that they can ask the question. | :07:51. | :07:55. | |
They don't necessarily need to ask it, but the fact that it is possible | :07:56. | :07:58. | |
mix a big difference to the lot of people. | :07:59. | :08:01. | |
Supporters of the Democratic Party candidate, Hillary Clinton, | :08:02. | :08:03. | |
have condemned her Republican rival, Donald Trump, for suggesting that | :08:04. | :08:06. | |
since she backs greater gun control, her bodyguards should disarm. | :08:07. | :08:10. | |
Let's take a minute to hear how he put it. | :08:11. | :08:17. | |
She is very much against the second Amendment, she wants to destroy your | :08:18. | :08:24. | |
second Amendment, guns, guns, guns, right? I think that what she would | :08:25. | :08:31. | |
do -- what she should do, she goes around with armed bodyguards like | :08:32. | :08:34. | |
you have never seen before. I think that her bodyguards drop all | :08:35. | :08:40. | |
weapons. They should disarm. Right? I think they should disarm, | :08:41. | :08:46. | |
immediately? What do you think? Yes? Take their guns away. She doesn't | :08:47. | :08:50. | |
want guns. Let's see what happens to her. Take their guns away. OK? It | :08:51. | :08:55. | |
would be very dangerous. Well, here's the statement from | :08:56. | :08:59. | |
Hillary Clinton's campaign manager. He says "Donald Trump has a pattern | :09:00. | :09:01. | |
of inciting people to violence. Whether this is done | :09:02. | :09:05. | |
to provoke protesters or casually or even as a joke | :09:06. | :09:15. | |
it is an unacceptable in anyone seeking the job | :09:16. | :09:17. | |
of Commander in Chief. He is unfit to be President | :09:18. | :09:21. | |
and it is time Republican leaders stand up to denounce this disturbing | :09:22. | :09:24. | |
behaviour in their nominee." Aaron Blake is a political | :09:25. | :09:27. | |
reporter with The Washington This is not the first time he has | :09:28. | :09:41. | |
made similar comments. How has this content? Reaction is a little bit | :09:42. | :09:44. | |
muted because it happened only faking it heading into the weekend | :09:45. | :09:49. | |
but this is a really -- this is really a continuation of the a lot | :09:50. | :09:53. | |
of rhetoric that comes on the border of talking about specific acts of | :09:54. | :09:57. | |
violence. He has previously talked about taking guns away from our | :09:58. | :10:02. | |
armed guards and he has also said at one point that he believed people | :10:03. | :10:05. | |
who supported the second Amendment, the right to have guns, they have | :10:06. | :10:10. | |
something to say about the Kent of judges that Halladay Clinton would | :10:11. | :10:13. | |
one day appointed to American courts, so she is right, not close | :10:14. | :10:19. | |
to the fine before and I think last night he got even closer than before | :10:20. | :10:25. | |
to projecting an image of violence against Hillary Clinton -- Hillary | :10:26. | :10:34. | |
Clinton. Once again we have seen her on the back foot trying to defend | :10:35. | :10:37. | |
these kinds of claims. Defender is one way of looking at it. One way is | :10:38. | :10:45. | |
saying that it adds to our case that Donald Trump is not a particularly | :10:46. | :10:50. | |
presidential candidate. She is saying that he cant be trusted, she | :10:51. | :10:54. | |
is too loose with his lips, that he says things that are outrageous and | :10:55. | :10:58. | |
not worthy of the United States president and that is why her | :10:59. | :11:02. | |
campaign put that statement last night. They see an advantage in | :11:03. | :11:06. | |
continuing to press this case that he is just not a serious and well | :11:07. | :11:11. | |
thought out candidate and I think the comment last night and the | :11:12. | :11:14. | |
reaction that we have seen to it in some ways play into the Clinton | :11:15. | :11:19. | |
campaign 's hands. He has a way of dominating what he called the news | :11:20. | :11:23. | |
cycle. What does this do for Americans that are watching? Does it | :11:24. | :11:30. | |
create apathy or are they excited by these sorts of contradictions and | :11:31. | :11:37. | |
these controversial remarks? Well, it is certainly a campaign unlike | :11:38. | :11:41. | |
anything we have seen before, with the kind of comments from a | :11:42. | :11:44. | |
candidate like we have never seen before. He is certainly an | :11:45. | :11:49. | |
unprecedented type of presidential candidate. But it doesn't seem to be | :11:50. | :11:52. | |
something that the American people are impressed with at this point. | :11:53. | :11:57. | |
Donald Trump and Helen the Clinton are both the most unpopular | :11:58. | :12:02. | |
president candidates in modern history. Donald Trump is even more | :12:03. | :12:09. | |
unpopular. There may be that there is some entertainment value share | :12:10. | :12:12. | |
but Americans are telling pollsters that they are simply not | :12:13. | :12:13. | |
entertained. Let's take a look at | :12:14. | :12:17. | |
some other stories now. French police have conducted | :12:18. | :12:24. | |
a huge security operation in the centre of Paris | :12:25. | :12:25. | |
for what turned out People were warned to stay away | :12:26. | :12:28. | |
from a busy shopping district in the city after reports of gunfire | :12:29. | :12:31. | |
and even a hostage situation The authorities say the situation | :12:32. | :12:34. | |
is now calm and there is no danger. Thousands of people | :12:35. | :12:39. | |
in cities across Germany have taken to the streets in protest | :12:40. | :12:41. | |
against a controversial trade agreement between the US | :12:42. | :12:43. | |
and the European Union. Opponents of the Transatlantic Trade | :12:44. | :12:45. | |
and Investment Partnership or T-TIP say it will lower | :12:46. | :12:47. | |
standards on food and They also fear it could | :12:48. | :12:50. | |
lead to job losses. President Obama says | :12:51. | :12:53. | |
he wants to wrap up the deal Thousands of people in Brazil have | :12:54. | :12:55. | |
attended the funeral of a famous actor who drowned in a river | :12:56. | :13:01. | |
where the crew had been recording scenes for the country's | :13:02. | :13:05. | |
most popular soap opera. The death of Domingos Montagner | :13:06. | :13:08. | |
on Thursday shocked the country. Stay with us on BBC | :13:09. | :13:18. | |

in the next few minutes. The headlines. | :13:38. | :14:32. | |
broadcasting in the UK US-led coalition forces kill dozens | :14:33. | :14:40. | |
of Syrian soldiers in an air strike they mistakenly | :14:41. | :14:42. | |
believed was targeting This comes just hours after Russia | :14:43. | :14:44. | |
said the situation in She's the bureau chief | :14:45. | :14:53. | |
there for the Washington Post It's an amazing development today | :14:54. | :15:15. | |
with a submission from the United States. What does this mean for the | :15:16. | :15:19. | |
ceasefire or any prospect of coordination between Russia and the | :15:20. | :15:24. | |
US going forward? It doesn't look very good for the ceasefire. It was | :15:25. | :15:30. | |
already in deep trouble and we hadn't seen any of the steps that | :15:31. | :15:34. | |
were supposed to happen happen and now we have these allegations that | :15:35. | :15:39. | |
the US has killed as many as 60 Syrian troops. The Russians are | :15:40. | :15:42. | |
saying that this proves the Americans had to coordinate air | :15:43. | :15:45. | |
strikes with them. This is something the US has said and on the happen | :15:46. | :15:50. | |
when the fighting stops and aid is delivered to Scythians. Those things | :15:51. | :15:55. | |
have not happened. This is putting the ceasefire and a difficult | :15:56. | :15:59. | |
position. Just today, President Obama has released a briefing and | :16:00. | :16:05. | |
the thought is that there was no other legitimate option but to work | :16:06. | :16:08. | |
with the Russians. Is that the view that will be held at the coming | :16:09. | :16:13. | |
days? It will certainly increase pressure on the Americans to work | :16:14. | :16:17. | |
with the Russians. The statement came out acknowledging that the dead | :16:18. | :16:22. | |
people. people. | :16:23. | :16:32. | |

Colombia's Marxist FARC rebels say they will continue their fight | :16:48. | :16:49. | |
for social justice under a peace deal with the government. | :16:50. | :16:52. | |
The rebels are holding their final congress as an armed group, | :16:53. | :16:54. | |
before they transition into a political movement. | :16:55. | :16:56. | |
Representatives from FARC are expected to ratify | :16:57. | :16:58. | |
the deal at the gathering, the tenth congress to date, | :16:59. | :17:00. | |
but the first time they have allowed journalist to attend. | :17:01. | :17:05. | |
The BBC's Natalio Cosoy was one of the reporters there. | :17:06. | :17:11. | |
This is a road leading to the conference of far. -- -- FARC. | :17:12. | :17:31. | |
Everyone has to pass through here. They are sharing the space with | :17:32. | :17:35. | |
dozens of journalists who also stay here. Very basic buildings which are | :17:36. | :17:44. | |
reasonably comfortable. Of course, a restaurant. In the centre of the | :17:45. | :17:51. | |
conference area, this, a big stage on a huge field, as if this was | :17:52. | :17:59. | |

on a peace deal reached in Havana. The world's biggest beer festival, | :18:19. | :18:20. | |
Oktoberfest, is underway in Munich but security has been | :18:21. | :18:22. | |
tightened this year. The authorities fear that the event | :18:23. | :18:24. | |
could be a target for terrorists, following deadly | :18:25. | :18:27. | |
attacks in the summer. For the first time, the Oktoberfest | :18:28. | :18:28. | |
site is completely fenced off as our Berlin correspondent | :18:29. | :18:32. | |
Jenny Hill reports. Balancing old traditions | :18:33. | :18:42. | |

Oktoberfest. This year they are searched | :18:45. | :18:45. | |
on the way in, rucksacks are banned Last year you are coming up | :18:46. | :18:48. | |
to Oktoberfest, you are going there, everybody is happy and this year | :18:49. | :18:57. | |
you are coming there, there is a fence, everybody | :18:58. | :19:00. | |
is telling you where to go and so, But it is not too bad, | :19:01. | :19:03. | |
I say. People can enjoy themselves | :19:04. | :19:15. | |
and the people that are here, I say Munich, Germany | :19:16. | :19:18. | |
is taking no chances. The Government acknowledges | :19:19. | :19:23. | |
that IS is using the refugee crisis It's been a year since ten | :19:24. | :19:25. | |
of thousands of refugees arrived at this station and were greeted | :19:26. | :19:35. | |
by crowds of cheering Germans. Angela Merkel is struggling | :19:36. | :19:38. | |
to reassure the German public, many of whom fear that | :19:39. | :19:45. | |
when she opened this country's Mrs Merkel doesn't impress | :19:46. | :19:50. | |
the Bavarian Government, either. The refugees are one | :19:51. | :19:53. | |
challenge for Europe So, we have to have more controlling | :19:54. | :19:55. | |
on the borders, the outset borders of the European Union | :19:56. | :20:05. | |
but in Germany, too. For the first time, Oktoberfest | :20:06. | :20:09. | |
is completely fenced in. A country that prided itself on open | :20:10. | :20:13. | |
borders is now putting up Let's get the latest sports | :20:14. | :20:16. | |
news from John Watson. We start in Rio on the penultimate | :20:17. | :20:28. | |
day of competition, a day which was marred by a serious | :20:29. | :20:33. | |
incident involving a para cyclist The 48-year-old was treated at the | :20:34. | :20:53. | |
scene but later died of his injuries. It is the first death at | :20:54. | :20:57. | |
any Olympic or Paralympic games since 1960. | :20:58. | :20:59. | |
There have been five matches in the Premier League today | :21:00. | :21:02. | |
The big story, Manchester City who stretched their lead at the top | :21:03. | :21:06. | |
of the table to five points after a hugely impressive 4-nil | :21:07. | :21:13. | |
Bournemouth's new star loanee Jack Wilshire couldn't | :21:14. | :21:21. | |
They were 2-0 up at half time after goals from in form Kevin De Bruyne | :21:22. | :21:26. | |
and Kelechi Iheanacho, the transformed Raheem Sterling | :21:27. | :21:28. | |
and Ilkay Gundogan scored the other two after the break. | :21:29. | :21:30. | |
So with eight wins out of eight in all competitions at City | :21:31. | :21:33. | |
I don't know what will happen in the future, I don't have a crystal ball | :21:34. | :21:48. | |
to know what will happen. You start to convince the players, and of | :21:49. | :21:52. | |
course, the results help, for example our performance today is | :21:53. | :21:58. | |
much better than our first performance against Sunderland. The | :21:59. | :22:03. | |
team are getting better and getting better but the result and the | :22:04. | :22:10. | |
beginning helpless to take confidence and in the last games we | :22:11. | :22:11. | |
played well. Everton moved up to second | :22:12. | :22:14. | |
