:01:26. > :01:32.The failure of a simultaneous evacuation of government

:01:40. > :01:41.a monitoring mission for the evacuation -
:01:42. > :01:45.and there are reports that a compromise has been reached.
:01:46. > :01:48.With the situation in Eastern Aleppo increasingly

:04:51. > :04:53.Well, in New York the Security Council is discussing
:04:54. > :04:55.resolution on UN Monitoring of these evacuations - let's
:04:56. > :05:00.go to Gary O'Donoghue who is in Washington for us.
:05:01. > :05:09.There appears to be movement on this. What more can you tell us?
:05:10. > :05:15.They had about three hours inside the Security Council behind closed
:05:16. > :05:19.doors discussing a French proposal to put monitors, UN monitors on the
:05:20. > :05:25.ground to ensure people could get onto these buses and get out of
:05:26. > :05:30.eastern Aleppo safely. That was opposed by the Russians initially.
:05:31. > :05:34.We felt there was going to be a stand-off effectively. After that
:05:35. > :05:37.three hours they seem to have emerged saying they have some sort
:05:38. > :05:42.of compromise resolution they are going to vote on tomorrow or Monday
:05:43. > :05:49.morning at 9am local time in New York. So that does give a glimmer of
:05:50. > :05:54.hope that there may be some kind of oversight of what is actually
:05:55. > :05:58.happening to those civilians in eastern Aleppo. We don't know the
:05:59. > :06:05.detail of how it will work but the US ambassador Samantha Power did say
:06:06. > :06:08.that she could envisage some of those monitors being on the buses
:06:09. > :06:13.when they were moving out of those areas. The question will be the
:06:14. > :06:18.extent to which the Syrian government will have control over
:06:19. > :06:23.how that works. That's something that was a stumbling block for
:06:24. > :06:27.Russians initially. We know that evacuations have been halted for the
:06:28. > :06:31.time being. Is it the case that we are waiting for a decision from the
:06:32. > :06:37.Security Council for the evacuations to continue? I think it's more
:06:38. > :06:40.complex than that in the sense that part of the reason the evacuations
:06:41. > :06:46.stopped from eastern Aleppo is because of what happened in these
:06:47. > :06:51.other Shia villages west of Aleppo where these buses were allegedly
:06:52. > :06:55.burned that were meant to be taking Shia members of those villages out
:06:56. > :07:03.of the area surrounded by the rebels. The government was very keen
:07:04. > :07:07.to make that part of the whole deal. There was a lot of anger because of
:07:08. > :07:13.the sabotage of those buses. That's why to some degree the halt was
:07:14. > :07:18.called to the evacuation in eastern Aleppo. Big concern from the
:07:19. > :07:23.international community is while there is not anybody around to check
:07:24. > :07:27.what's going on and that there could be war crimes committed, there could
:07:28. > :07:32.be massacres. People have talked about not having another Srebrenica,
:07:33. > :07:38.you remember when those civilians were killed in Bosnia in 1995. So
:07:39. > :07:45.that's the concern. So time is of the essence. There are UN people in
:07:46. > :07:49.the vicinity. Samantha Power talking about re-purpose and those people to
:07:50. > :07:57.be monitors. We don't know how quickly they can be in place to get
:07:58. > :08:08.this effort moving. And temperatures are plummeting. Without shelter that
:08:09. > :08:11.is the real potential for it, and evermore escalating humanitarian
:08:12. > :08:18.crisis in the area. Thank you for that update.
:08:19. > :08:20.In neighbouring Jordan officials say at least nine people
:08:21. > :08:22.have been killed - including one Canadian
:08:23. > :08:27.a series of attacks in the historic city of Karak.
:08:28. > :08:29.They targeted two police patrols in separate attacks,

:09:22. > :09:25.This is where most of the casualties were found.
:09:26. > :09:29.All were Jordanian except for one Canadian woman who was killed.
:09:30. > :09:33.Tonight, the city appears calm although it is unclear
:09:34. > :09:39.There will be relief the attack is contained but it will be another
:09:40. > :09:45.blow to Jordan's reputation as a sea of calm in a region of crisis.

:09:48. > :09:51.The Islamic State group says it was behind a suicide attack
:09:52. > :09:53.in Yemen which left at least 40 soldiers dead.

:11:40. > :11:42.The European Parliament is very liberal.
:11:43. > :11:49.Of course nobody can enter the Parliament room,

:13:03. > :13:05.In the afternoon, after a few hours of our journalist protests,
:13:06. > :13:09.which is not political, this is only about the access
:13:10. > :13:15.to information and the freedom of speech, the opposition blocked
:13:16. > :13:17.the Parliament, saying we want to support journalists,
:13:18. > :13:19.and then people went onto the streets and said
:13:20. > :13:30.I'm very suspicious when politicians are supporting journalists.
:13:31. > :13:32.And I'm very suspicious especially when today,

:15:11. > :15:12.to resume their evacuation fail. Gunmen in Jordan carry
:15:13. > :15:15.out a series of attacks in the historic town of Karak,
:15:16. > :15:26.killing at least ten people. While investigations continue

:15:45. > :15:54.perpetrator of the Church He was sentenced to two years
:15:55. > :16:01.in prison earlier this year. He was convicted of belonging

:16:09. > :16:10.journalists waited for hours hoping The only interview she gave was to a
:16:11. > :16:32.local newspaper. I couldn't tell if it was a local or
:16:33. > :16:38.international number. He does not talk much. He knows our calls could
:16:39. > :16:40.be recorded by the police. I don't believe he was a suicide attacker.
:16:41. > :16:49.Maybe somebody did it in his name. The explosion, which killed
:16:50. > :16:51.and injured dozens of Christians, was claimed by the so-called Islamic
:16:52. > :16:53.State. It is hard to verify
:16:54. > :17:00.it was Mahmoud who did it. The suicide bomber walked
:17:01. > :17:03.through this door to blow himself We can still see stains of blood
:17:04. > :17:09.covering the ground and the pews. The blast did not only cause severe
:17:10. > :17:12.damage to this place, He lost his dad and she lost her
:17:13. > :17:30.husband, the church guard. Nothing is left of him but a mobile
:17:31. > :17:34.phone with his pictures on it. TRANSLATION: Every morning,
:17:35. > :17:37.the boy asks me, where is my dad? People like her are now having
:17:38. > :17:45.to rebuild their lives, but picking up the pieces after such
:17:46. > :17:55.a tragedy will not be easy. A Philippine senator who's
:17:56. > :17:57.calling for the impeachment of President Rodrigo Duterte,
:17:58. > :18:01.has told the BBC she fears for her life -
:18:02. > :18:03.but won't be silenced. Leila de Lima, a former
:18:04. > :18:05.justice minister, said she'd taken on extra security
:18:06. > :18:07.since she began criticising This is what Ms De
:18:08. > :18:26.Lima told BBC News. I certainly believe that he is a
:18:27. > :18:31.killer. He admitted it. Of course his defenders, his spokesperson will
:18:32. > :18:35.try to explain it away by saying it's just part of his bravado and
:18:36. > :18:41.probably just a joke. We've had enough of those so-called jokes.
:18:42. > :18:48.Such acts are impeachable. Let's call a spade a spade. That is a high
:18:49. > :18:53.crime, committing mass murders. And mass murderers do not only pertain
:18:54. > :18:58.to victims of the death squad but also current victims of the current
:18:59. > :19:04.so-called war on drugs. There are real security threats against me. Of
:19:05. > :19:07.course I take extra security measures, I have my own security
:19:08. > :19:11.compliment. But I cannot be cowed into doing and saying what I don't
:19:12. > :19:14.want to do and say. Manchester City put their recent
:19:15. > :19:18.problems behind them, moving up to second place
:19:19. > :19:20.in the Premier League table after beating
:19:21. > :19:22.Arsenal 2-1 at the Etihad. City had
:19:23. > :19:23.to come from behind. It was Raheem Stirling
:19:24. > :19:25.who scored their winner 20 minutes from time,
:19:26. > :19:28.but earlier Theo Walcott had opened the scoring for Arsenal
:19:29. > :19:30.after just five minutes. City are now seven points behind
:19:31. > :19:38.league leaders Chelsea. Of course, it was quite
:19:39. > :19:50.similar to Chelsea. With Chelsea, we didn't
:19:51. > :19:53.win, and today we did. We have problems with
:19:54. > :19:58.important players not That is very difficult to accept
:19:59. > :20:17.in a game like that. I believe there is a lot going
:20:18. > :20:23.on the moment that is not serious. It is unbelievable,
:20:24. > :20:27.but every time the decisions go against
:20:28. > :20:35.you, and unilaterally. Spurs are now only a point behind
:20:36. > :20:38.Arsenal, in fifth place. They beat Burnley 2-1
:20:39. > :20:40.at White Hart Lane. Like Manchester City,
:20:41. > :20:44.Spurs also had to come from behind. Danny Rose scored the winner
:20:45. > :20:46.20 minutes from time. Earlier Ashley Barnes had given
:20:47. > :20:50.Burnley the lead before Dele Alli I think always the Premier League
:20:51. > :21:04.is hard to win games. Today we knew that Burnley is a team
:21:05. > :21:08.that fight a lot, run a lot, every ball, they
:21:09. > :21:14.are ready to challenge. I think the team played
:21:15. > :21:23.in a very good way. I think that we fully deserved
:21:24. > :21:27.in the end the victory and I am pleased with that because it
:21:28. > :21:29.was a difficult win. And in the other Premier League
:21:30. > :21:31.match, Southampton won They were 3-1 winners
:21:32. > :21:33.at Bournemouth. Elsehwere, Real Madrid have
:21:34. > :21:36.won the Club World Cup. Cristiano Ronaldo scored
:21:37. > :21:39.a hat-trick as they beat Japan's Kashima Antlers 4-2
:21:40. > :21:42.in extra time. After Karim Benzema had put
:21:43. > :21:45.Real ahead early on, Gaku Shibasaki equalised
:21:46. > :21:49.just before the break. And then the Antlers went ahead
:21:50. > :21:53.with this fine strike. The J-League champions,
:21:54. > :21:57.who only qualified as hosts, seemed on the verge of the biggest
:21:58. > :22:00.shock in the history But Ronaldo equalised
:22:01. > :22:03.with a penalty before putting his side in
:22:04. > :22:06.front in extra-time. He then
:22:07. > :22:09.added his third on the night and the Spanish club's fourth
:22:10. > :22:12.to secure the championship. It's Real's second World Club
:22:13. > :22:18.title in three years. England's hope of a consolation
:22:19. > :22:21.victory in the fifth and final test India batted all the way
:22:22. > :22:30.through the third day That's 86 behind England's
:22:31. > :22:33.first innings score, with Rahul falling just one run
:22:34. > :22:37.short of a double century. On Day 4 of the first Test
:22:38. > :22:42.between Australia and Pakistan at the Gabba in Brisbane,
:22:43. > :22:46.Asad Shafiq scored an unbeaten century as Pakistan chased
:22:47. > :22:52.a daunting 490 runs to win. They began the penultimate
:22:53. > :22:54.day on 70-2 and reached Scotland's John Higgins and Marco Fu
