:00:10. > :00:18.Coming up next, world News today takes a look at the latest global
:00:19. > :00:22.stories. Then at 10:40pm, The Papers discusses to my's headlines.
:00:23. > :00:58.Followed by another chance to see Newsnight at 11:15pm.
:00:59. > :01:05.This is BBC world news today, broadcasting in the UK and around
:01:06. > :01:10.the world. I'm Chris Rogers. The headlines, new footage emerges of
:01:11. > :01:18.the moments leading up to the fatal shooting of an African-American
:01:19. > :01:24.police in the city of Charlotte. Don't shoot him coming he has no
:01:25. > :01:28.weapon. The incident sparked widespread protests. A baby is
:01:29. > :01:31.pulled alive from the rubble of Aleppo as the city in June was one
:01:32. > :01:38.of the most intense bombardment since Syria's civil war began.
:01:39. > :01:42.Facebook share price drops after admitting over estimating average
:01:43. > :01:46.viewing times for video apps. We visit the new museum of
:01:47. > :01:47.African-American culture in Washington and the British architect
:01:48. > :02:08.who designed it. Welcome. The family of a black man
:02:09. > :02:12.shot dead by US police in Charlotte has released a video of the fatal
:02:13. > :02:16.encounter that has sparked widespread protests. The moment the
:02:17. > :02:21.lethal shot hit 43-year-old Keith Lamont Scott cannot be seen but his
:02:22. > :02:24.wife is heard shouting to the officers that her husband is an
:02:25. > :02:27.armed. Let's show you some of this footage, a warning, it contains some
:02:28. > :02:30.distressing images. Don't shoot him, don't
:02:31. > :02:40.shoot him, he has no weapon. SHOUTING
:02:41. > :02:47.Don't shoot him. He didn't do anything.
:02:48. > :02:50.Drop the gun! He doesn't have a gun.
:02:51. > :02:53.He's not going to do anything to you guys,
:02:54. > :03:04.Keith, don't let them break the windows,
:03:05. > :03:08.come out of the car. Keith, don't do it.
:03:09. > :03:15.Keith, Keith, don't you do it, don't you do it.
:03:16. > :03:27.Did you shoot him? Did you shoot him?
:03:28. > :03:37.I know that much, he better not be dead.
:03:38. > :03:44.The family of victim released that footage after police refused to go
:03:45. > :03:48.public with their own footage. Mayor Charlotte says it should be released
:03:49. > :03:54.but only after a delay to avoid impeding the investigation. I lean
:03:55. > :04:00.towards transparency and everything our city does. However, I know there
:04:01. > :04:05.is a delicate balance when you have an ongoing investigation. I have
:04:06. > :04:11.heard from all sides of this and I absolutely want to move and want to
:04:12. > :04:15.be transparent. I know that when you have an ongoing investigation, when
:04:16. > :04:18.there are key pieces of evidence still to be collected, when there
:04:19. > :04:23.are key pieces of evidence still being gathered, if one piece is
:04:24. > :04:29.released early, it can jeopardise the integrity of that investigation.
:04:30. > :04:34.We want everyone to have full faith in what this investigation will
:04:35. > :04:39.produce. And in that, I am relying on our experts to say, we want all
:04:40. > :04:48.those pieces together to present a full picture. I do believe the video
:04:49. > :04:52.should be released. The question is on timing. And I am willing to work
:04:53. > :04:59.with our law enforcement officials to discuss when that's will occur.
:05:00. > :05:04.That was the mayor of Charlotte Jennifer Roberts. Let's go live to
:05:05. > :05:10.Washington, we can speak to Laura Bicker. We have seen the protests on
:05:11. > :05:17.the streets in reaction to hearing about the shooting. What should we
:05:18. > :05:23.expect now? In Charlotte, there is a curfew in place. The National Guard
:05:24. > :05:33.already in stand-by. They were there last night and again tonight. I
:05:34. > :05:38.think this will fuel the protesters' feelings that they are not getting
:05:39. > :05:42.the full picture from police. This is a community asking for
:05:43. > :05:46.transparency as you have heard. They feel they are more likely to be
:05:47. > :05:51.pulled over and arrested by police and shot by police. What we are
:05:52. > :05:56.seeing an increase in across the United States are people, as soon as
:05:57. > :05:59.any arrest is made, bringing out their own mobile phones and filming
:06:00. > :06:06.it so they have their own account of it. They do not trust the police to
:06:07. > :06:10.video it themselves. With the withholding of this camera footage,
:06:11. > :06:14.and you heard the protesters last night saying, release the footage.
:06:15. > :06:21.Withholding it will only fuel the anger which has already erupted into
:06:22. > :06:26.violence. Hillary Clinton, Democratic nominee for President,
:06:27. > :06:29.has urged for the videos to be released in the name of clarity and
:06:30. > :06:35.transparency and trying to build bridges. The governor of North
:06:36. > :06:39.Carolina Pat McCrory says there should be no political influence on
:06:40. > :06:46.this. But you heard from the mayor that the timing has to be right, and
:06:47. > :06:49.perhaps the timing is now. It isn't just Charlotte, you have been
:06:50. > :06:54.reporting on a number of the shootings for a long time. The sense
:06:55. > :06:59.you get around the world is that this is an increasing problem. Is
:07:00. > :07:03.that the right sense? I think it is a problem that has been ongoing.
:07:04. > :07:08.With regards to whether it is Facebook, Twitter, social media,
:07:09. > :07:12.when each of these videos come up, it's almost saying, this has been
:07:13. > :07:16.happening and here we are, able to show this. In Baton Rouge, where I
:07:17. > :07:22.spent a few weeks with protesters and the police, you have a group
:07:23. > :07:25.whose sole job it is to go around as soon as they hear there will be an
:07:26. > :07:33.arrest of a black man, they go and fill it to try to make sure they
:07:34. > :07:38.have a record of it. I spoke to one mother of a Dallas man who was shot
:07:39. > :07:43.by police, shot and killed by police and she goes around schools and
:07:44. > :07:47.talks to young black teenagers. Her first words of advice to those
:07:48. > :07:52.youngsters is, as soon as you are pulled over by police, start
:07:53. > :07:55.filming. This kind of distrust between the police and the black
:07:56. > :08:04.community is an underlying issue and it does need to be resolved. Laura
:08:05. > :08:09.Bicker reporting in Washington. Any hopes of a deal to build an already
:08:10. > :08:14.deeply flawed ceasefire in Syria have been smashed. Some of the
:08:15. > :08:18.heaviest bombing of areas in Aleppo since the start of the civil war,
:08:19. > :08:23.more than 90 people killed in attacks, according to medical
:08:24. > :08:31.sources. Raids have been carried out in these areas. US Secretary of
:08:32. > :08:33.State John Kerry says further talks on Friday with his Russian
:08:34. > :08:36.counterpart made a little progress on stopping the conflict.
:08:37. > :08:39.Our Middle East correspondent Quentin Sommerville reports.
:08:40. > :08:43.They have grown used to destruction in Aleppo but never on this scale.
:08:44. > :08:47.This man says a woman was killed here where three houses once stood.
:08:48. > :08:52.In the ruins of the Syrian ceasefire, Eastern Aleppo
:08:53. > :08:59.Here, they say they have never heard a louder explosion.
:09:00. > :09:02.And when the dust settles, and with a wary eye
:09:03. > :09:06.on the skies overhead, they search for bodies.
:09:07. > :09:09.Here in the dirt, in the doorway of a house, they have spotted
:09:10. > :09:18.The rescue workers have to move quickly before another air strike.
:09:19. > :09:23.Gently, they take away the stone and the dust, and they have
:09:24. > :09:34.The hospitals here are being overwhelmed again.
:09:35. > :09:40.They have lost six medical staff over the past two days of bombing.
:09:41. > :09:44.There have been nearly 250 air strikes in the past 24 hours,
:09:45. > :09:48.and in Aleppo it is not just civilians being targeted,
:09:49. > :09:56.Above, the sound of aircraft that have just bombed the neighbourhood.
:09:57. > :10:00.This is a base for the civil defence force, the White Helmets.
:10:01. > :10:04.Three of their rescue centres were bombed.
:10:05. > :10:09.TRANSLATION: There have been more than 25 raids
:10:10. > :10:31.The bombing has been relentless. The Syrian regime and its allies
:10:32. > :10:34.are now preparing for a ground offensive.
:10:35. > :10:37.TRANSLATION: This morning we heard an earthquake and went out and saw
:10:38. > :10:40.a huge hole in the ground. We thought, my God, what is this,
:10:41. > :10:44.what are we to him? Why does Assad hate us like this?
:10:45. > :10:48.May God have revenge on him, that oppressor.
:10:49. > :10:51.Dozens have been killed in the past 48 hours.
:10:52. > :10:57.They are still looking for the dead and missing.
:10:58. > :11:00.The ceasefire did not achieve peace, but may just have given Russia
:11:01. > :11:02.and regime forces time to regroup and prepare for one final
:11:03. > :11:22.We have managed to get hold of Kieran Dwyer, a unisex spokesman
:11:23. > :11:27.based in Damascus in Syria. -- a Unicef spokesman. We have had a
:11:28. > :11:33.Unicef statement saying water supplies have been cut off to
:11:34. > :11:37.Aleppo? Yes, Unicef are extremely concerned at the escalation of
:11:38. > :11:43.violence and attacks affecting children across Aleppo. The reason
:11:44. > :11:49.we have spoken up today, right now is that the entire water system for
:11:50. > :11:55.Aleppo city has been attacked and taken out so that water is no longer
:11:56. > :11:58.pumping the people in eastern Aleppo and Westerleigh Aleppo, all across
:11:59. > :12:04.Aleppo, nearly 2 million people, children across the city no longer
:12:05. > :12:10.have access to water and this could be catastrophic for all children in
:12:11. > :12:15.Aleppo. With the spread of waterborne diseases. In addition to
:12:16. > :12:20.the terror, in addition to children dying, in this increasing violence
:12:21. > :12:23.now, the threat of waterborne diseases has just been increased
:12:24. > :12:29.incredibly with two water pumping stations being taken out. Do you
:12:30. > :12:35.know, are you able to say if that was an act, to take out those water
:12:36. > :12:41.pumping stations or whether they are just victim of the onslaught of
:12:42. > :12:44.Aleppo at the moment? There are two particular water stations that are
:12:45. > :12:50.no longer functioning, both in the eastern part of the city. One of
:12:51. > :12:56.those stations was hit with attacks, we can't say precisely how it was
:12:57. > :13:00.hit. But it has been damaged and the ongoing violence is preventing
:13:01. > :13:05.repair teams to get in and assess and fix that pumping station. That
:13:06. > :13:09.pumping station pumps water to the entire population of the eastern
:13:10. > :13:15.part of the city, that's at least 200,000 people, and then in
:13:16. > :13:24.retaliation for the attack, a nearby pumping station that pumps water to
:13:25. > :13:28.the entire western part of the city, upwards of about 1.5 million people,
:13:29. > :13:33.that was deliberately switched off. One pumping station was hit by
:13:34. > :13:36.attacks on the fighting is stopping repairs and another one which has
:13:37. > :13:41.been deliberately switched off. Water in Aleppo is being used as a
:13:42. > :13:48.weapon by all sides and Aleppo's children are again paying the price.
:13:49. > :13:50.I know you are a UN charity, not a UN agency but you and your
:13:51. > :13:56.colleagues must be really frustrated today there seems to be very little
:13:57. > :14:02.progress in New York? Our frustration is the least of the
:14:03. > :14:06.problems. We are appalled that children in Aleppo who only a week
:14:07. > :14:13.ago were able to play on swings and we saw those pictures, children
:14:14. > :14:17.having a very brief respite, the choice to go back to fighting is
:14:18. > :14:21.putting children at great risk across Aleppo, paying a terrible
:14:22. > :14:26.price. We are seeing the escalation of that risk when the fighting takes
:14:27. > :14:31.no regard for important infrastructure like water. Water is
:14:32. > :14:35.life and we could see a catastrophic spread of waterborne diseases that
:14:36. > :14:44.could affect children across the whole city. Thank you for your time.
:14:45. > :14:50.That is the spokesman for Unicef, Kieran Dwyer on Skype. Let's cross
:14:51. > :14:54.to New York where we can hear the latest on the talks that have been
:14:55. > :15:00.held at United Nations. Laura Trevelyan joins us. What we just
:15:01. > :15:03.heard is that perhaps clear evidence of why what is going on in that
:15:04. > :15:12.building behind you needs to come to some sort of resolution. Yes, it is
:15:13. > :15:16.a world apart, in New York, it is a beautiful, sunny, late September
:15:17. > :15:21.Friday afternoon and we just heard a description of the agony of Aleppo.
:15:22. > :15:25.What has happened today is the Russian Prime Minister Sergey Lavrov
:15:26. > :15:28.and his US counterpart John Kerry met briefly and John Kerry said
:15:29. > :15:34.after that, a bit of progress had been made. We don't know what. The
:15:35. > :15:38.US - Russian ceasefire deal that was agreed last week is now in tatters.
:15:39. > :15:42.Following the bombing of that humanitarian convoy on Monday and
:15:43. > :15:49.now the Syrian military going into Aleppo. To retake the rebel held
:15:50. > :15:53.areas. What we are hearing is a very strong defence of the Syrian
:15:54. > :15:58.government's actions from Syria's strong ally Russia which has been
:15:59. > :16:03.taking air strikes to the last year in defence of Syria's President
:16:04. > :16:07.Assad. This was Russian's Foreign Ministry Sergey Lavrov speaking
:16:08. > :16:10.earlier, defending the action that Syria's military is taking and
:16:11. > :16:17.trying to retake those rebel held areas of Aleppo. TRANSLATION: During
:16:18. > :16:21.the period from 12th of September when the Russian and American
:16:22. > :16:29.document was formally enforced, after this date, almost 350 attacks
:16:30. > :16:33.of the position in Aleppo alone against the government and some
:16:34. > :16:36.presidential quarters, many people were killed including Syrian
:16:37. > :16:42.military and civilians and this is not the way, you know, the cessation
:16:43. > :16:49.of hostilities should be the main thing. But when the Syrian
:16:50. > :16:55.government responded to this attack, we were told this is undermining
:16:56. > :17:01.credibility of the entire exercise, therefore, they must not respond.
:17:02. > :17:04.Sit idle for seven days and maybe their position would be kind enough
:17:05. > :17:12.to agree that the cessation of hostilities should be maintained by
:17:13. > :17:15.the position as well. Russia's Foreign Ministry Sergey Lavrov
:17:16. > :17:21.speaking at United Nations a few hours ago. He is being very clear,
:17:22. > :17:24.talking about the 350 violations of the ceasefire. Blaming the United
:17:25. > :17:27.States for failing to control the rebel groups that it supports and he
:17:28. > :17:30.also blames the United States for failing to make a distinction to
:17:31. > :17:37.separate the more moderate rebel groups from the one linked to
:17:38. > :17:44.Al-Qaeda, the group has now changed its name. The blame really going on
:17:45. > :17:48.at UN headquarters in New York. The only thing agreed on at the moment
:17:49. > :17:52.is their original ceasefire plan is the only game in town and they want
:17:53. > :17:58.to try to revive it. But at the moment, no one can see quite how
:17:59. > :18:04.they will do it. Thank you. Do stay with us if you can add world news
:18:05. > :18:07.today. Still to come: a thumbs down for Facebook as it admits vastly
:18:08. > :18:15.overstating the amount of video its users watch.
:18:16. > :18:21.Ben Johnson, the fastest man on earth is flying home to Canada in
:18:22. > :18:27.disgrace. All athletes should be clean going into the game, I am
:18:28. > :18:31.happy justice is served. It is a simple fact this morning, these
:18:32. > :18:39.people were in their homes, tonight, those homes have been burnt down by
:18:40. > :18:43.Serbian soldiers and police. All the Taliban positions along here have
:18:44. > :18:50.been strengthened, presumably in case the Americans invade. It's no
:18:51. > :18:54.use having a secret service which cannot preserve its own secret
:18:55. > :18:58.against the world so the British Government has no option but to
:18:59. > :19:03.continue this action and even after any adverse judgment in Australia.
:19:04. > :19:05.Concorde had crossed the Atlantic, faster than any plane ever before.
:19:06. > :19:21.Breaking the record by six minutes. This is BBC world news today, I'm
:19:22. > :19:24.Chris Rogers and let's bring you up-to-date with the latest
:19:25. > :19:30.headlines. The family of a black man shot by police in North Carolina
:19:31. > :19:37.have released video footage. Syria's government continues its campaigns
:19:38. > :19:42.of air strikes in Aleppo, saying the bombardment is a ground operation.
:19:43. > :19:48.More in a moment. Let's get some reaction now to what appears to be a
:19:49. > :19:52.failure of talks in New York and a failure of a ceasefire in Syria. We
:19:53. > :19:58.will speak to a member of the Syrian opposition's high negotiations
:19:59. > :20:05.committee. Thank you for joining us. Your reaction is what we need to
:20:06. > :20:08.hear, but the lack of progress in New York and what seems to be a
:20:09. > :20:16.complete collapse of the ceasefire, particularly in Aleppo. The feeling
:20:17. > :20:22.here is that the delegations from the different countries of the
:20:23. > :20:26.important involved countries of the international community, those who
:20:27. > :20:31.form a group called the IFS gee, this group is now going home and
:20:32. > :20:35.will be watching from their TV screens, what is happening in
:20:36. > :20:41.Aleppo. The use of advanced cluster bombs on the population, on
:20:42. > :20:49.civilians, the humanitarian disaster in Aleppo will probably intensify
:20:50. > :20:56.over the coming days. Our feeling is we are going into a very dark tunnel
:20:57. > :21:01.and Aleppo is going to be a city where the plan is to wipe out what
:21:02. > :21:09.is left of this country. Of this city. And the population is likely
:21:10. > :21:16.to flee, as usual, so we will have a new wave of refugees, those who are
:21:17. > :21:23.able to escape the city, because it is already besieged. Here, the
:21:24. > :21:28.opposition has tried, has cooperated, has expressed its
:21:29. > :21:32.willingness to cooperate with the international community on an
:21:33. > :21:38.agreement, if it is enforced, if it is a credible agreement, we wanted
:21:39. > :21:41.some guarantees on how it would be enforced and whether it would be
:21:42. > :21:47.enforced. We don't have any agreement. I think we can draw a
:21:48. > :21:51.lesson today, if there is no credible threat of the use of some
:21:52. > :22:00.retaliatory measures against violations of an agreement, it will
:22:01. > :22:05.be worthless. Is the problem. People like yourself, John Kerry, Sergey
:22:06. > :22:12.Lavrov... Russia seems to be just on the same line, not to mention Iran.
:22:13. > :22:18.There are players out there who have no interest apparently in anything
:22:19. > :22:22.that would appease the situation. To take is back to some political
:22:23. > :22:29.process, allowed the stop of the refugee waves out of the country.
:22:30. > :22:35.That is where we are today. Can I ask you a question? Could you stop
:22:36. > :22:42.for just one moment? We are waiting for something that would have
:22:43. > :22:45.addressed the urgent situation in Aleppo in particular and beyond
:22:46. > :22:53.that, the horrors happening across the country in terms of cleansing of
:22:54. > :22:56.areas, demographic changes, procedures, threats, blackmail, all
:22:57. > :23:03.of this is taking place at the moment, everybody knows about what
:23:04. > :23:07.is going on, what will the international community do? Today,
:23:08. > :23:11.the message is, nothing. I think we will have to leave it there, we have
:23:12. > :23:16.run out of time to ask you any more questions. Let's bring you
:23:17. > :23:21.up-to-date with the latest on Facebook. It has overestimated how
:23:22. > :23:24.much video people have watched the last two years, an error affected
:23:25. > :23:28.the Facebook metric which was supposed to tell publishers for how
:23:29. > :23:32.long on average people had watched a video. The site's own estimates are
:23:33. > :23:37.an important tool for advertisers who use them to work out how popular
:23:38. > :23:40.they video content is. They said this error has now been fixed and
:23:41. > :23:49.had not changed how much advertisers pay per site. We asked earlier if
:23:50. > :23:54.the situation is gone parabolic to how advertisers on television are
:23:55. > :23:59.charged for breaks in the programme depended on the number of viewers.
:24:00. > :24:04.This is one of the key metrics advertising companies rely on to
:24:05. > :24:07.gauge where they will spend their ad budget. In the era of the internet,
:24:08. > :24:13.there is a lot more information available but as this shows, not all

:24:48. > :24:54.America's most honoured land, the national man of Washington but fills
:24:55. > :24:57.a gap in the national memory. The decades, African-Americans have
:24:58. > :25:01.campaigned for a museum that tells the epic story. Now it is about to
:25:02. > :25:07.be opened, by the country's first African-American President. It
:25:08. > :25:13.changed my career, my life. The architect is a dish who sees this as
:25:14. > :25:20.his opus work. Rather than designing a monument, he's constructed a
:25:21. > :25:24.living building. It reflects the ongoing struggle for equality. I
:25:25. > :25:27.think this building helps to really allow people to understand each
:25:28. > :25:32.other and understand how people are interrelated in many ways and how
:25:33. > :25:36.the path forward is not separation but understanding and coexisting so

:25:41. > :25:43.remind it of its incredible rich history and its contribution to that
:25:44. > :25:49.integration story. The building features milestone moments, like the
:25:50. > :25:57.black power salute at the Mexico City Olympics. Also the shackles of
:25:58. > :26:02.slavery. Also a celebration black culture and how it has defined
:26:03. > :26:05.American culture. These are all real, nothing is a reconstruction.

:26:13. > :26:20.for a British man to help tell an American story? It is a very weighty
:26:21. > :26:23.subject but I think what I bring to it as a professionalism about what I
:26:24. > :26:32.believe architecture can contribute to that. The building is steeped in
:26:33. > :26:37.symbolism, the latticework recalls the ironwork of free slaves in the
:26:38. > :26:41.American south. Windows look over landmarks as the freedom struggle,
:26:42. > :26:43.like the Lincoln memorial, the pulpit from which doctor Martin
