:04:37. > :04:49.It is not a done deal yet, is it? No. The area is in the south. It is
:04:50. > :04:54.a French-speaking area and is far less affluent than the Flemish
:04:55. > :04:57.north. Much of this deal is based on the idea of food products going back
:04:58. > :05:02.and forth between Canada and the EU, so that is why they felt themselves
:05:03. > :05:07.particularly exposed. They were also feeling that some of the regulations
:05:08. > :05:10.that they had in place, as far as they were concerned were a
:05:11. > :05:14.democratic matter, would really end up in the hands of multinationals
:05:15. > :05:18.and that Canada would end up as a gateway for big US companies. There
:05:19. > :05:24.are these type of concerns about other free-trade deals with the US,
:05:25. > :05:29.for example, as well. Yes. Neither side looks well out of this. Canada
:05:30. > :05:31.looks rather inept and naive and rather inexperienced when it comes
:05:32. > :05:35.to diplomacy and the EU really doesn't look in any way unified in
:05:36. > :05:39.this does not bode well for the UK, which of course is leaving the EU
:05:40. > :05:42.and have to negotiate its trade relationship once again. I would say
:05:43. > :05:46.there is an important distinction, though, that what we are talking
:05:47. > :05:49.about here is a change in the lower product between Canada and the EU
:05:50. > :05:52.and that is what will ultimately happen, whereas with Brexit what we
:05:53. > :05:56.are talking about is the EU trying to be establish what it already has,
:05:57. > :05:59.so nobody feels ridiculous under threat because of the EU gets it
:06:00. > :06:03.right then things would not particularly change. So with the
:06:04. > :06:08.Brexit negotiations and the Brexit deal, are there other countries that
:06:09. > :06:13.may, like Wallonia, scupper those negotiations? They are unique in the
:06:14. > :06:17.way that the parliament works is that you have to have all three
:06:18. > :06:23.parts of it agreeing and then it has to be agreed centrally. In this type
:06:24. > :06:28.of deal was described as a mixed deal. Meaning that it requires the
:06:29. > :06:32.individual approval of all of the EU member state and therefore in the
:06:33. > :06:36.case of Belgium it is also its constituent states. That is not
:06:37. > :06:40.always the case with a trade deal. Sometimes you can get you to agree
:06:41. > :06:43.directly. It depends what it is and whether it contains this mixed
:06:44. > :06:48.factor which means it would include services to, but underlying this is
:06:49. > :06:52.a very portion trend and that is a suspicion that trade deals do not
:06:53. > :06:56.bring uniform wealth. The big figures might suggest that but there
:06:57. > :06:58.are always those who lose out. Fantastic you with us. Very
:06:59. > :07:01.interesting. Thank you very much. There's been severe damage
:07:02. > :07:03.in central Italy, after two strong Hundreds of people have had
:07:04. > :07:07.to leave their homes. And many historic buildings
:07:08. > :07:12.have been damaged. Rescue teams have been struggling
:07:13. > :07:15.to reach some areas but officials say the situation
:07:16. > :07:17.is not "catastrophic". The centre of these latest
:07:18. > :07:20.earthquakes is about 70 kilometers from Amatrice, where
:07:21. > :07:22.an earthquake in August killed James Reynolds is in the region,
:07:23. > :07:28.and sent this report. The people of Central Italy have
:07:29. > :07:31.always known that they live in But the last two months have
:07:32. > :07:35.proven just what that Wednesday night's quakes have
:07:36. > :07:45.damaged roads and buildings. Rescue workers have
:07:46. > :07:46.helped people from We have a lot of fear and we don't
:07:47. > :07:54.know what to do right now because this is a place
:07:55. > :07:56.that is about tourism. I don't know how
:07:57. > :08:12.we will start again. The church of Saint Salvatore
:08:13. > :08:14.is on the tourist It was hit in previous quakes
:08:15. > :08:19.and it has now come down. The effects of the two earthquakes
:08:20. > :08:21.could have This church collapsed,
:08:22. > :08:24.but no one was hurt. And across this region,
:08:25. > :08:25.many people have They've also had to get
:08:26. > :08:28.through a series of Rescue workers will now have
:08:29. > :08:43.to check every road, bridge and One of this country's most beautiful
:08:44. > :08:47.regions is also one of its The United Nation's children's
:08:48. > :09:02.agency UNICEF has said if the air strikes on a school
:09:03. > :09:05.in Syria on Wednesday were deliberate
:09:06. > :09:07.they are a war crime. More than 20 children and six
:09:08. > :09:10.teachers are reported to have been killed in the strikes
:09:11. > :09:12.in a rebel-held village A residential area around the school
:09:13. > :09:17.complex was also hit. Russia has insisted it had nothing
:09:18. > :09:20.to do with the airstrikes. The UN's humanitarian chief said
:09:21. > :09:23.it was up to member states to act. This is not inevitable,
:09:24. > :09:29.it's not an accident. It is the deliberate actions of one
:09:30. > :09:32.set of powerful human beings on another set
:09:33. > :09:39.of impotent human beings. And it can be stopped
:09:40. > :09:42.but you the security council have The former British Prime Minister
:09:43. > :09:48.and UN Special Envoy for Global Education Gordon Brown
:09:49. > :10:01.is at the United Nations Thank you for joining us. You are
:10:02. > :10:06.saying that if this is deliberate, it is a warm crime and it should be
:10:07. > :10:10.prosecuted mother and how does that actually help people on the ground
:10:11. > :10:13.today? The International criminal Court should be brought in. We
:10:14. > :10:17.should find out what has been happening. There have been 98 school
:10:18. > :10:22.attacks in the last year and a half and we have 30 children at least,
:10:23. > :10:27.perhaps more, who have been mutilated, who have died and two
:10:28. > :10:31.were the victims of what is an education atrocity, which is the
:10:32. > :10:34.worst one that has happened. If we do not investigate and we do not
:10:35. > :10:39.hold people responsible and if we do not prosecute, then this will
:10:40. > :10:42.continue to happen. It is time that the United Nations security council
:10:43. > :10:46.said that we are putting this to the International criminal Court. I will
:10:47. > :10:50.come back to that in a moment, but those prosecutions take a long time.
:10:51. > :10:56.What does that differ people in Syria on the ground today? Because
:10:57. > :10:59.whoever is responsible is put on notice that they are going to be
:11:00. > :11:03.investigated. They cannot do with impunity for too long as Stephen
:11:04. > :11:06.O'Brien has said, the international community has stood by and innocent
:11:07. > :11:10.children in their thousands have lost their lives as a result of or
:11:11. > :11:14.failure to act. Now what has prevented the Security Council
:11:15. > :11:18.acting in the last two years is Russia and it vetoed an
:11:19. > :11:22.investigation into atrocities two years ago. Today, the Russian
:11:23. > :11:25.Foreign Ministry said that they would welcome an independent
:11:26. > :11:30.investigation, so in theory, all the security council is now in favour of
:11:31. > :11:33.investigating this crime. The security Council should now meet, it
:11:34. > :11:38.should agree that the International criminal Court be brought in. If it
:11:39. > :11:41.can't agree on the International criminal Court was that prosecution
:11:42. > :11:43.authority, it should agree on a separate security Council
:11:44. > :11:48.investigation. You cannot have people bombing children in this way
:11:49. > :11:51.with impunity. You have got to show that they are going to be held
:11:52. > :11:56.accountable if possible, prosecuted by the International criminal Court
:11:57. > :11:59.at a later date. Is that the core issue within the Security Council
:12:00. > :12:03.that Russia itself says that it has been threatened by Nato and that
:12:04. > :12:07.some people might argue that the West has mishandled its relationship
:12:08. > :12:13.with President Putin and with Russian? But hold on. This is
:12:14. > :12:16.international law. It is a war crime, agreed when we said of the
:12:17. > :12:18.International criminal Court that any attack on a school that is
:12:19. > :12:23.deliberately seen as something that is a violation of human rights and
:12:24. > :12:26.has got to be both investigated and where people are accountable, they
:12:27. > :12:32.have got to be prosecuted. Do you think that is adequate? This is a
:12:33. > :12:35.clear-cut case that if there is a war crime, then people should be
:12:36. > :12:38.held responsible. Now whether it is the Syrian army or the Russian air
:12:39. > :12:44.force or whoever has been responsible for this, the means
:12:45. > :12:46.exist now that Russia has said it wants an investigation for the
:12:47. > :12:51.Security Council to agree on this. We should call the Russian bluff on
:12:52. > :12:55.this and hold the Security Council meeting, agree if we can get
:12:56. > :12:58.everybody together on this, now that Russia has said it wants an
:12:59. > :13:01.investigation that it should happen. We have been waiting for years now
:13:02. > :13:07.to have the sort of investigations that would deter people from doing
:13:08. > :13:10.this in the future. If people are bombing hospitals, civilians,
:13:11. > :13:15.children, is the possibility of a prosecution and adequate deterrent?
:13:16. > :13:19.No, of course not. It is only one of the measures that we should be
:13:20. > :13:25.taking. But we have a year of fear because children have become the
:13:26. > :13:32.innocent victims of so many of the wars in the middle East and of
:13:33. > :13:36.course in Africa. We have stood by and the international community has
:13:37. > :13:39.done so little when schools have been militarised, when young people
:13:40. > :13:43.have been recruited into militias, and when schools themselves had been
:13:44. > :13:47.bombed. And it is time to say that this is enough and we are going to
:13:48. > :13:52.do something about it. And if we do not seize this opportunity when
:13:53. > :13:57.Russia has admitted there is a need for an investigation, to call their
:13:58. > :14:00.bluff or to force an internal investigation, then we will be
:14:01. > :14:04.failing all of the children who were put in danger in future. You talk
:14:05. > :14:08.about Russia and having to put Russia on notice and called their
:14:09. > :14:11.bluff. President Putin is saying that he is holding restraint at the
:14:12. > :14:18.moment and actually he intends to continue bombing Syria, rooting out
:14:19. > :14:21.what he has called a nest of terrorists, despite the fact that
:14:22. > :14:26.they are our civilians there. There is not a great deal of sway that you
:14:27. > :14:30.have over Russian actions. I think you're missing the point. There is a
:14:31. > :14:34.clear-cut case for a war crime that has been committed. The
:14:35. > :14:37.international legislation we have all approved says that if that does
:14:38. > :14:40.happen, it should go to the International criminal Court. If we
:14:41. > :14:44.stand by when these atrocities are happening and allow children to be
:14:45. > :14:49.the innocent and the vulnerable victims of wars that are being
:14:50. > :14:54.conducted in this region then we are failing the next generation of
:14:55. > :14:57.children. If you try to sidestep the issue and say Russia did this or
:14:58. > :14:59.someone else did that or someone else is to blame, you have got to
:15:00. > :15:07.investigate a crime when it is committed. We believe was
:15:08. > :15:10.intentional. Isn't the real issue the fact that the Security Council
:15:11. > :15:13.has essentially been paralysed because of this breakdown in the
:15:14. > :15:18.relationship with Russia and many people would argue that the West has
:15:19. > :15:23.failed in that relationship? Hold on. I am does pointing out that
:15:24. > :15:27.Russia stood out against the security council resolution in 2014.
:15:28. > :15:30.It did not support an investigation into atrocities. Now they have said
:15:31. > :15:35.and perhaps they will regret saying this but they have said that they
:15:36. > :15:38.would welcome and have called upon the international authorities to
:15:39. > :15:42.have an independent investigation. If we do not then follow-up and have
:15:43. > :15:46.that independent investigation and we are failing the children who have
:15:47. > :15:51.died, but failing also those children and those adults who are at
:15:52. > :15:54.risk in the future. Now, there are 6 million displaced children in Syria.
:15:55. > :16:00.There are two Melbourne refugees children who are now outside of
:16:01. > :16:04.Syria. They are a lost generation and if we continue to do nothing and
:16:05. > :16:09.stand-by when atrocities are committed and there is a clear-cut
:16:10. > :16:11.case for an investigation, then we are responsible, but this is the
:16:12. > :16:17.moment when the Security Council could act. OK. Former British by
:16:18. > :16:22.Minister and UN special envoy for education, Gordon Brown, thank you.
:16:23. > :16:24.Now a look at some of the day's other news.

:17:59. > :18:05.I'm going to North Carolina right after this and am going back

:18:28. > :18:35.The BBC's Barbara Plett-Usher is in Washington.
:18:36. > :18:42.Michelle Obama turning out to be the star of the show, right? Yes, she is
:18:43. > :18:45.passionate, she is seen as authentic. She is not a politician
:18:46. > :18:50.so she does not have that baggage but she does carry a parity. In the
:18:51. > :18:53.speeches she has made already, she is really resonated widely, so she
:18:54. > :18:57.is a heavy hitter for Mrs Clinton. They will be campaigning together
:18:58. > :19:02.for the first time and she in particular appeals to the
:19:03. > :19:04.constituencies like Mullany, like African-Americans, like women, and
:19:05. > :19:08.she has been brought with Mrs Clinton to a battle ground state
:19:09. > :19:13.like North Carolina where the race is very tight to renew this effort
:19:14. > :19:16.to get out the early voters. It all depends on who actually comes to the
:19:17. > :19:21.ballot box, so the Clinton campaign is really pushing this to lock it in
:19:22. > :19:27.as soon as possible. And issue managing to connect with those
:19:28. > :19:32.millennial 's, who may have supported Bernie Sanders before. It
:19:33. > :19:37.is interesting because Bernie Sanders really happy millennial 's
:19:38. > :19:41.support. They were not keen to switch their support to Mrs Clinton.
:19:42. > :19:46.They thought she was establishment and not radical enough and morally
:19:47. > :19:50.compromised. They had been flirting with independence. But the latest
:19:51. > :19:53.poll seems to show a reversing that trend. Now it looks like Mrs Clinton
:19:54. > :19:59.will get as much support from Mullany is as Barack Obama did in
:20:00. > :20:03.2012 and the reasons for that word because these people were beginning
:20:04. > :20:06.to really realise what was at stake in this election and also to realise
:20:07. > :20:08.that the independent candidates would not be able to help them out
:20:09. > :20:13.with the issues that they wanted help on so it looks as if she is
:20:14. > :20:16.stronger on that then she has been. OK, so for the two candidates, less
:20:17. > :20:21.than two weeks to go, but what are the key issues they are going to
:20:22. > :20:26.want to hone in on? Well, it is really all about getting the vote

:20:43. > :20:46.sure that the voters get out. You have these rallies with the heavy
:20:47. > :20:50.hitters in the battle ground states. Mrs Clinton had much better
:20:51. > :20:55.grounding than Donald Trump does and she will really try to capitalise on
:20:56. > :20:58.that. Both of them do still pass to the White House. Donald Trump is
:20:59. > :21:01.definitely not out of the race but she has more parts than he does so
:21:02. > :21:06.she will be trying to exploit that as well. So that will be the focus

:21:18. > :21:22.Seven in 10 mammals, birds, fish, reptiles and other vertebrate
:21:23. > :21:27.species will be wiped out in just 50 years.

:21:45. > :21:45.From African elephants, whose numbers are
:21:46. > :21:47.plummeting because of poaching, to Europe's killer whales,
:21:48. > :21:56.The Living Planet report looked at 3700 different
:21:57. > :21:58.species and it has found that since 1970
:21:59. > :21:59.populations have fallen by

:22:14. > :22:24.So we are already seeing extinctions, but yes,
:22:25. > :22:28.we would expect those extinctions only to increase if we don't stop

:23:02. > :23:08.It is true that the overall index is declining. Very markedly. But of
:23:09. > :23:12.course it is an overall measure. That is aggregated up from many

:23:17. > :23:20.Between species, between different parts of the world, and between
:23:21. > :23:24.different habitats. But amid the declines, there have been some
:23:25. > :23:29.successes. Wild tiger numbers have now risen for the first time in a
:23:30. > :23:33.century. And giant pandas are now no longer classified as endangered. But
:23:34. > :23:35.it will be a challenge to reverse a problem that is on such a large
:23:36. > :23:45.scale. The president of Venezuela has
:23:46. > :23:51.offered a 40% rise in the minimum wage. It is the fourth increment in
:23:52. > :23:55.the year. This comes up day after 100,000 people took to the streets
:23:56. > :23:57.to protest against the Government. The oil-rich country is facing
:23:58. > :24:02.widespread food shortages and spiralling inflation. The mass

:24:11. > :24:13.More than a million people in China have signed a petition demanding
:24:14. > :24:14.that a captive polar bear be relocated.
:24:15. > :24:17.The animal which is kept in a small enclosure in a shopping
:24:18. > :24:20.mall, has been described as the world's saddest bear.
:24:21. > :24:23.Animal rights groups have released video of the creature,
:24:24. > :24:27.in the southern Chinese city of Guangzhou.
:24:28. > :24:30.They say it's displaying signs of agitation.
:24:31. > :24:32.The shopping mall is refusing to give up the bear,
:24:33. > :24:41.saying it's not breaking Chinese law.
:24:42. > :24:44.Belgian officials say they've reached a breakthrough
:24:45. > :24:49.on a European Union free trade deal with Canada.
:24:50. > :24:53.The Belgian prime minister said the heads of his country's regional

:24:58. > :25:00.The agreement was due to have been signed today,

:25:05. > :25:07.Don't forget you can get in touch with me and some
:25:08. > :25:09.of the team on Twitter - I'm at Lebo Diseko.
:25:10. > :25:16.And you can see what we are working on via Facebook too.
:25:17. > :25:19.Lots there to look at about our programmes coming up
:25:20. > :26:03.But for now from me and the rest of the team, goodbye.
:26:04. > :26:09.There is a weak weather front making its way across the country
:26:10. > :26:12.as we speak but it is not going to bring that much
:26:13. > :26:17.Some of it heavy and persistent across north-west Scotland but as it
:26:18. > :26:20.sinks further south, it will weaken off substantially.
