This is BBC World News Today with me, Geeta Guru-Murthy.

The United States has just announced it is suspending

talks with Russia over a Syria peace deal.

As the misery in Aleppo continues, the US accuses Russia of failing

to meet its commitments under a ceasefire agreement.

After Hungary votes against accepting more migrants,

we'll speak live to the country's ambassador to the UK.

Trump's tax details - does it show the man is a genius,

Or could the revelations be a bombshell moment

Kim Kardashian West is robbed at gunpoint in a Paris apartment,

We start with breaking news from America where

the State Department has just announced it's suspending talks

with Russia on trying to end the violence in Syria.

And it is not a shock. It is a recognition of reality. In recent

weeks and months, mainly in the form of US Secretary of State John Kerry

and his Russian counterpart, are trying to say, is there anyway to

get racist nation of hostility, a truce, -- an end to the violence.

There was an attempt to get some kind of ceasefire for if you days --

a number of days after the deal was struck. But this did not continue,

fighting on both sides. Now those talks have broken down, no attempt

to try and reduce the ceasefire. If there were facilities, they said

maybe we could get AIDS into these areas, if they were sustained

hostility is, amazingly, the Russians and Americans -- get a help

to these areas. The Russians and Americans were going to work

together. They have been seeing, now there is no point talking. A

statement today gave confirmation that talks have been suspended.

Russia it is said to have not lived up to their commitments. Unable or

unwilling to ensure that the Syrian regime...

Reports saying the White House spokesman saying that everyone buys

like patients with Russia has run out. We see daily misery they are,

what does that mean? If this is completely run into the ground, what

happens now? Right now, the scale of the violence is such that the

Americans do not believe, it is pointless they are saying. The

intensified attacks against civilian areas, attacks against

infrastructure including hospitals, attack on an aid convoy, in that

context, there is little point having talks. It doesn't mean that

can't happen in the future. You could see talks continuing if things

changed on the ground. The Americans are thinking, look, this needs to

stop. Using German occasions to... The knock on from Syria, apart from

the misery on the ground, is affecting other parts of the ground.

The question about weather Europe should take more people from all the

world us trouble spots, like Syria and other areas, that is causing

political problems. This weekend, the people of fungi have said is now

in a referendum. But the turnout was low -

only 44% of voters took part - The opposition says no,

but the Hungarian Prime minister, Viktor Orban, says he will ask

parliament to change the constitution in order

to accept the result. For the EU, the president

of the parliament has accused Hungary of playing "a dangerous

game" by attacking EU treaties. The AdSense for domestic reasons,

against the European Union, of the legal legislation in the European

Union fails. Overwhelming majority of Hyperion is by other staining

from the vote voted against the attempts of the Government. We are

grateful to the Hungarian people who've refused. The proposal.

Britain is also promising to get tough on immigration.

Is this results going to the balance? Not the full measure of

people voted in this referendum in Hungary. Hungary took an important

historic decision last night. 3.3 million voted for a no answer. It is

important to know that when our country entered the European Union

there was another referendum. Then, there was less vote supporting the

entry to the European Union. It is a very important vote that has taken

place now. It is an overwhelming and strong show of support for the

Government to act. Does it mean that an unfair burden will be placed on

Italy and Greece? You are saying, look, we will not do anything to

help? I couldn't hear the question. Is it not unfair of Hungary to say,

we are going to leave the problem of migrants to Italy and Greece? Well,

we have been a very bold. We have been decisive on putting up

directions on the Balkan countries, Serbia and Croatia, stopping the

legal migrants. It does not mean our borders are closed. Our borders are

ready to accept people through the open gate. Defences are there to

stop the illegal migration. Do you think that Europe ayes hold policy

on migration can keep going as it is? What should happen now?

Concerning the referendum, there will be, what should happen next,

the Government is proposing legal steps. It is continuing its fight

against the not well working quota system. A year ago, we started to

talk about this. Now, more and more countries are adopting this

approach. The referendum result is enough for the Government to act

legally. In terms of the Constitution, this is an important

step to go forward and ensure decisions will be made about

Algerians in the depressed in... And not in Brussels. -- treble.

Budapest. As Europe tries to work out

what to do, the migrant crisis continues even as the weather starts

to get colder. This year, 3500 people have died

or been reported missing. More than 600 children have drowned

mission, led by the charity Scanning the horizon in the early

morning, when the sea The migrant boat set out at night

so the owners won't be caught. A vessel comes into view with around

100 on board. There is no orange to be seen,

meaning no life jackets. The team scrambles to

get the small rescue They're given life jackets

to make them safe. Over 300,000 people reached Europe

across this sea, this year. Over 3000 have died doing so,

or been reported missing. The people have been

quite calm until now, but they are quite clearly getting

a bit agitated and the rescuers are having to tell them to sit down,

stay calm and they These people will have been

travelling for several hours now, they have left the Libyan

coast in the darkness, unclear if they're ever

going to reach their destination. There are smiles, relief,

but no celebration. The group is entirely male

he didn't want to be identified. He's come from the Ivory Coast,

beings, what ever the colour We don't do this because we really

want to, we do this If only people would welcome

us because we're not The conditions in which we find

ourselves are really unfavourable. And now there is effectively

a second rescue going on. There is another humanitarian

mission ship over there. It's already transporting migrants,

and about 100 of them are being transferred from that ship

to this one. There are women this time,

some of them looking shattered The majority of these

people are from Somalia. One is this 16-year-old girl,

escaping a forced marriage. She's been travelling for ten months

and wants to study medicine Italy, where the boat is heading

will let her stay in till she's 18. If you don't like me,

maybe you will have I may be different from others,

or I may be the same. The flimsy vessels that deliver

people here are destroyed by the rescuers so it

can't be reused. As for their occupants,

they face an uncertain future in a Europe uncertain

control after voters unexpectedly rejected a peace deal it had struck

with the FARC rebel group. 50.2% of the people that took part

in the referendum chose More concerning for the Government

though was the fact that only 38% of eligible voters

actually turned out. And take a look at this map put out

by Kings College London researcher It shows areas in green that voted

yes, and orange that voted no. Many of the areas affected

by the conflict voted Based in the countryside, it was a

rebellion against the country. FARC has come against serious opposition

by the military. After four years of negotiations, the Colombian

president and rebel leaders signed a peace deal a week a goal.

Celebrations have been shot lived. A referendum has been cold to ratify

the agreement. By the narrowest of margins, the peace agreement has

been rejected. TRANSLATION: That these we want is

possible and can be strengthened from this situation -- this piece

that we want. I want to leave a better country for our children. Now

the Government must address concerns of those who voted no. Because of

concerns at this terms of the ceasefire were too lenient.

The drugs test and hostagetaking is believed to have brought them large

amounts of cash. If the peace deal is invalid, for many the fear is

that the rebels with the powerful players in future elections.

US TV reality star Kim Kardashian has been robbed at gun point

of jewellery worth over $10 million dollars while staying

It included a ring worth more than $4 million.

Our correspondent Amy Cole has this report.

Her mega-rich lifestyle and famous family make her a target.

In the early hours of this morning Kim Kardashian was robbed

at gunpoint at this luxury residence in Paris.

It's understood a nightwatchman was handcuffed and five men dressed

as police wearing masks stormed her apartment

and held her at gunpoint before ransacking it and fleeing.

She was left tied up in the bathroom.

Kim stayed quiet on social media but TV host James Corden has berated

It's not known whether the star's two children

A spokesperson said Kim was left badly shaken

That's how some of his Republican allies have described him,

An article in the New York Times suggested that, by declaring huge

business losses in the 1990s, Donald Trump avoided paying taxes.

His campaign team are refusing to confirm or deny the report,

While millions of American families where are working hard and playing

our fair share, it seems he was contributing nothing to our nation.

Imagine that. Not fair, no grants for helping gates go to college.

Nothing for veterans are a military -- children to go to college. He has

been talking down America. He makes disparaging comments. He calls our

military a disaster. It is not, but it might have been if everyone else

failed to pay taxes to support our brave men and women in uniform. I

saw a newspaper article, a gentleman named Steve who owns the Class City

cafe. He said, it is flat out cheating the Government. Bernie

Sanders, my friend, he said Donald Trump reflects a distorted view

about this country and what it is about. Former Mayor of New York has

also been speaking about the tax question. He is a genius. He took

advantage of something that could have saved his enterprise. He came

back. When's the Church and Steve jobs talk about that also. Great men

have big failures, they take those areas and turn them into good

results -- Steve Jobs. One of the most powerful hurricanes

for a decade is moving Hurricane Matthew may bring winds

of more than 240 kilometres per hour Haiti is expected to bear

the brunt of the storm. Parts of Jamaica have already been

hit. The worst of the weather is yet to come. Hurricane Matthew is moving

at five miles per hour. The rain and flooding is going to get worse. Dark

ominous storm clouds. Matthew was a category five storm. It has weakened

a little, but it is one of the most powerful hurricanes to hit the

Caribbean in years, winds over 45 miles an hour. Cuba lies in its

path. Tourists are trying to make the most of their holidays despite

the choppy water. I am on vacation. Unfortunately, her again has spoiled

application. -- the hurricane has spoiled the vacation. Local people

will be taking to more primitive storm shelters than the tourists.

For this man and family it will be a cave. TRANSLATION: We think we will

be saved. If they want to get to hike the whole city will be

swallowed up. A judge how the most important and we are trying to keep

them safe. -- our children. There have already been deaths in the

waters. Even so, it is being hard to persuade people to leave their

homes. It is a challenge from one of the poorest nations in the Americas.

We have been hearing from Hillary Clinton. This is a big New York

Times story. How is it playing at there? It has been cold a

blockbuster. It is what political journalists are talking about all

the time. A window into Donald Trump's taxes. Sheds light on his

finances at the time. Almost $1 billion loss in that one year. That

allows him to stretch out, not paying any kind of federal income

taxes. His perception that he is a great businessmen is dented because

all of a sudden people are saying, well, he lost all that money, how

can he be great? The also criticised Barack Obama for paying too little

taxes. Americans like to see rich people pay taxes. They know there

are loopholes. It is annoying to them for him not paying taxes for an

extended length of time. The emphasis is that he has earned a lot

of money. At the same time, they have been a lot of facts and

misappropriation of the truth. Donald Trump us support has held up.

When his key in the polls with a couple of debates to go? He has a

solid base of supporters, high 30s and low 40s sticking with him.

Daylight opening up. I don't think the tax story has really had an

impact yet. But a week of Donald Trump stumbling over himself on the

issue of his past criticism of the beauty pageant contestants. And his

early morning tweaked attacking that woman. -- tweet. Hillary Clinton has

been very strong of late. America has suspended cooperation on the

Syria ceasefire talks. Russia regrets the American decision to

suspend cooperation on the ceasefire. The Russian Foreign

Ministry have been cited with that. A breakdown of talks, we will bring

you developments in the next few hours. Thanks for watching.

The weather story for the rest of the week is a fairly dry one.
