:00:00. > :00:00.Celsius. Sunday is cooler and fresher. There will be some early

:00:00. > :00:09.rain in the East which clears away. Then sunshine and showers. Goodbye.

: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

:24:14. > :24:18.of that information is reliable. I think that is the key concern for

:24:19. > :24:24.the advertisers, they base decisions based on figures that now turns out

:24:25. > :24:30.to be overinflated. President Debana will officially open America's

:24:31. > :24:34.national museum of African American history and culture on Saturday. A

:24:35. > :24:37.striking modern design and the architect is British. Nick Briant

:24:38. > :24:47.has this report from Washington. This building occupies a plot on

: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

:25:37. > :25:40.I think this building comes at an opportune time in America to really

: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.

:26:06. > :26:12.That is chuck berry 's original Cadillac. Has it been a challenge

: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

:26:44. > :26:48.Luther King delivered his famous speech.

:26:49. > :26:50.That's all from the programme, from me and all of the team, thank you
