it's taken days of wrangling, but the un security council has finally tonight voted unanimously for an immediate 30—day ceasefire across syria. it's hoped the truce will allow medical help to reach areas that have seen intense bombing, with hundreds of civilians, including children, killed by government air strikes. rebel—held eastern ghouta is the worst affected zone, and it's been impossible for aid convoys to get in to help. the vote had been delayed repeatedly. but the haggling meant that it avoided a veto from russia, an ally of the syrian government. this is how it finally got through, about two hours ago. translation: the results

of the vote are as follows... the draft received 15 votes. the draft is hence adopted unanimously. as solution a01 for the year 2018. —— as resolution. so, that was the moment this ceasefire was approved. to some, it was unexpected. but it's been broadly welcomed by all sides. earlier, i spoke to panos moumtzis, the un regional humanitarian coordinator for the syria crisis. i asked him asked him about his reaction to the plan for a 30—day truce. finally, really, after days of deliberation of the security council, finally the resolution has passed unanimously. this is very much welcome. the most important part is the implementation of the resolution, of course. and we want to see immediate cessation of hostilities. on our side, as humanitarian actors,

the un, ngos are all ready to roll out assistance to be able to cover the needs of people who have been besieged for a long time and bring them much needed life—saving assistance. when do you expect you will be allowed to move in? we hope to be able immediately. i mean, the resolution is with immediate effect. what is interesting about the resolution, it covers countrywide. we are talking about not only... inaudiable. these have also been under a lot of hostilities and a difficult situation, although they have received less media attention. so this is about really helping people who are in a desperate situation in different locations of the country, with hostilities that have gone on for far too long. what are your priorities once you get the go—ahead? what is your plan? so, the plan is to deliver immediately food assistance, to take in medical supplies, to be able to take out people who need medical evacuation for hospital,

and to roll out, really, an important and significant response to reach the most vulnerable of the people. we all know that it is the besieged people in east ghouta who have been living in a desperate situation for days and days now. inaudiable. it needs to take place now. also, the besiegement that really took place, in eastern ghouta in particular, finally i hope to be able to, with this being implemented immediately, to be able to take in the much and desperatly needed assistance for the people there. most importantly, the protection of civilians is another worry that we have. civilians, infrastructure, hospitals, schools, facilities have been systematically receiving bombs. so, again, bringing a relief to the people will be very important.

the resolution is for 30 days. of course, we hope that this will allow us to go to all areas, and we hope that it will go beyond the 30 days, we hope that there will be peace and stability for syria, which is really long overdue after seven years of war in the country. just how bad are...? we know that there are medical cases that are waiting to come out, that need to come out of eastern ghouta. just how desperately does this enclave need a cessation in hostilities? how bad are things? where are the residents seeking refuge? this decision of the security council on the cessation of hostilities is desperately needed. the residents of east ghouta in particular during the last six days, they have endured daily bombing, they have had no water, no food, no electricity. more than 20 health facilities were attacked. several of them were not functioning. people were hiding in basements.

everybody tried to go to wherever they could to survive. more than 500 people were killed, including more than 120 children. so, this is a situation that really was every day, we thought that the day was really terrible, and the next day would be even worse. this has to be implemented immediately to have clear skies in ghouta, rather than planes dropping bombs and the terror that people live, not knowing if the bomb was going to fall in their house. at the same time, to be able to take the injured and really bring some normalcy back to life, and bring the food and the water, and get life as much as possible back to normal, that is a great relief.

i was speaking there to panos moumtzis. i've also spoken to syria specialist andrew tabler tonight. he told me the task now is to actually enforce the truce. the agreement itself is unanimous in nature, and it is an accomplishment. the problem is, what does, "without delay" mean? in the last few days, russia in particular has dug its feet on trying to get the text, trying to end the bombardment for what many speculate was an attempt by the assad regime to increase the violence and to improve the political terms. the good news is that with the passage of this resolution, now comes the hard work of enforcement that will put the russian regime positions particularly under the spotlight. there have been reports from the syrian observatory for human rights that warplanes have already hit a town in eastern ghouta, that was just minutes after that announcement,

that resolution, was mentioned — was agreed, rather. that's right. bashar al—assad is quite defiant. i'm not sure the russians actually really have that much sway over his decision making. we will see. he is in an unusual situation in that he has held onto power in syria. but with a lot of iranian and russian help. he goes back and forth between the russian and iranian allies to gain flexibility and manoeuvrability. in this case, we will have to see if russia and the international community are able to tame his behaviour, and the degree to which iran feels it needs to pressure its client to stop. thank you very much. my pleasure. that was andrew tabler, syria specialist at the washington institute. and we'll find out how this story, and many others, are covered in tomorrow's front pages at 10:30pm and 11:30pm this

evening in the papers. our guestsjoining me tonight are martin lipton, who's the deputy sports editor at the sun, and benedicte paviot, who's president of the foreign press association. the un security council unanimously approved a resolution demanding a 30 day ceasefire in syria. it follows a week of intense bombardment of rebel held eastern ghouta by government forces — activists say hundreds have been killed. the vote, to allow for aid deliveries, was repeatedly delayed — syria's ally russia was accused of stalling for time. in the three days it took us to adopt this resolution, how many mothers lost their kids to the bombing and shelling? how many more images did we need to see of fathers holding their dead children? we'll have the latest live from the un. also tonight: hi. well hello... the actress emma chambers, best known for the vicar of dibley,

has died at the age of 53. the international committee of the red cross reveals more than 20 staff have been dismissed in the last three years for sexual misconduct. and billy morgan's bronze in the snowboarding gives team gb their biggest—ever medal haul in a winter olympics. good evening. after days of deadlock, the un security council has unanimously voted for an immediate 30—day ceasefire across syria. it's hoped the truce will allow aid to reach areas including rebel—held eastern ghouta, where more than 500 civilians are said to have been killed in government air strikes in the past week. the vote had been delayed repeatedly to avoid drawing a veto from russia, an ally of the syrian government.

western diplomats accused moscow of stalling for time. nick bryant reports. the people of eastern ghouta woke up this morning to continued aerial bombardment and the news from new york that the security council remained deadlocked. and still couldn't reach agreement on how to bring about even a temporary halt to the killing. delay in syria always brings more death. at least 120 children have been killed since sunday according to human rights activists. hospitals overwhelmed by the number of casualties have been targets of the government's bombing. on the fringes of the security council, the tensest of negotiations. but always a sense of urgency from the backers of this resolution and always the unresolved question, would russia allow it to pass? i would call upon those who are in favour of the draft

resolution to raise their hand. when it came to a vote the russian ambassador held his arm aloft not to wield a veto but to finally agree. yet western diplomats still attacked moscow for delaying its passage for days. as they dragged out the negotiation, the bombs from assad's fighter jets continued to fall. in the three days it took us to adopt this resolution, how many mothers lost their kids to the bombing and the shelling? while we've been arguing over commas, assad's planes have been killing more civilians in their homes and in their hospitals. imposing unbearable suffering. the russian ambassador was pessimistic about the chances of the ceasefire, saying there weren't concrete guarantees from warring parties to abide by. this resolution brings the hope, at least, that aid convoys will soon be driving through the streets and medical evacuations

can finally take place. but even after the security council agreed its passage, reports came from eastern ghouta that government warplanes were continuing their week—long bombardment. let's speak to nick in new york. even getting this far has been tricky, nick. implementing this far harder potentially. it is, ceasefire is turned to unravel very quickly. the russian ambassador very pessimistic even that this truce would come into effect. even some western diplomats are saying tonight that they think the syrian regime will ignore a lot of this resolution. there is no enforcement mechanism, no penalties to make sure they abide by its terms. this does create this problem of implementation. but the feeling here is even a week resolution is better than no resolution. russia didn't wield its veto, it's done at 11 times over syria. there is this

small glimmer of hope that they can get some humanitarian aid into eastern ghouta and get some of those medical casualties out. nick bryant in new york. two people have appeared in court charged with causing the death of two young brothers by dangerous driving. corey and casper platt—may, who were six and two, were on a family trip to a park in coventry when they were hit by a car on thursday. robert brown, who's 53, and gwendoline harrison, who's a1, were remanded in custody by magistrates. the actress emma chambers has died at the age of 53. she was best known for playing alice in the long—running bbc comedy the vicar of dibley. lizo mzimba looks back at her career. well, i can't believe this stuff that is not i can't believe it's not butter is not i can't believe it's not butter. laughter. and i can't believe that both i can't believe it's not butter and the stuff that i can't believe is not i can't believe it's not butter

are both, in fact, not butter. and i believe they both might be butter. emma chambers' alice tinker, a character as humorous as she was naive. oh, and this is a nice woman we met on the flight. she was a bit tired when we got to turkey, so hugo was ever so sweet and carried her case through customs. this is honey. she's my baby sister. this is one of those key moments in life. just as loved was honey in hit romcom notting hill. her co—star, hugh grant, today called her a hilarious and brilliant actress. while dawn french led the tributes from the vicar of dibley cast, saying she'd lost the most loyal and loving friend anyone could wish for. and fans are mourning the woman behind a comedy character who was loved by millions. the actress emma chambers, who has died at the age of 53. the head of the international committee of the red cross has said

the recent revelations of sexual misconduct by aid agency workers is a watershed moment for the charity sector. yves daccord's comments came as he revealed that more than 20 of his staff have been dismissed in the last three years for sexual misconduct. our diplomatic correspondent, caroline hawley, reports. the red cross emblem is seen as a symbol of protection around the world. like here in south sudan. and most of the time it is. but the icrc has now revealed behaviour it says was a betrayal of the people it was set up to serve. since 2015, 21 members of staff either resigned or were dismissed for paying for sex. the head of the icrc spoke of the silence around sexual misconduct being shattered and called this a watershed moment for the humanitarian sector as a whole. yesterday, 22 british aid organisations came together to write a joint letter promising to root out

staff who have abused their power, and saying they were truly sorry. among them was oxfam. revelations about the behaviour of seven of its workers in haiti put the whole aid sector under scrutiny with all aid agencies now under pressure for transparency, plan international has just confirmed six cases of sexual abuse and exploitation of children. organisations dedicated to saving and improving lives are now also trying to rescue reputations. it's clear that we have a particular challenge within the charity sector in that some people in some charities have been concerned that if they report this kind of behaviour it will harm the work that they so passionately believe in. and we've seen from the case of oxfam that loss of public trust is hugely, hugely damaging. as aid agencies try to rebuild trust, the government has given them a deadline. 192 british charities working abroad have until monday to come clean on past allegations

of sexual misconduct. they must also show what they're doing now to protect the people they help from future abuse. caroline hawley, bbc news. scientists in the united states are developing wearable sensors to speed up the recovery of people who've had a stroke. the sensors are able to send information to doctors continuously, allowing them to monitor the effectiveness of their therapies. wearable technology is now being developed by researchers around the world — as our science correspondent, pallab ghosh, reports from austin, texas. technology you can wear. skin displays developed by japanese researchers that show your vital signs. it's to put on patients so that doctors can monitor their progress. the displays are among a new wave of wearable electronics finding medical applications. and we're going horizontal with this one, correct? in the us, lizzie had a stroke two years ago. she couldn't move or speak or swallow for several weeks. lizzie is testing out

wearable sensors that might speed her recovery. they send information wirelessly to the medical team. she's a doctor and she can see how it would help her. this technology, to be able to put sensors on the body and really assess what muscle groups are working or not can really pinpoint the areas affected by the stroke and target therapies to specifically improve those issues. the doctors here can continuously monitor lizzie wherever she goes using these devices. they can follow her muscle activity, her heart rate, even her speech. may i please have two tacos? sure. the idea is they can closely track whether she is showing signs of improvement. do we see that they're walking more at home or do we see that they're engaging in conversations? those are the types of things i can

get feedback from the sensors where currently i only have their report. the challenge for the scientist was to pack a lot of electronics into a small, flexible material. it's almost mechanically sort of imperceptible to the patient who's wearing the device. and you can embed all sorts of advanced sensor functionality, microprocessor computing capability, radios, powersupplies, into this kind of very unusual platform. that is the uniqueness of what we do. thursday, friday... by the end of this year the team will have more information than anyone has ever had before about recovery from stroke. they believe that their study could transform the way patients are treated in the future. pallab ghosh, bbc news, austin, texas. a busy day in the world of sport. with all the sport, here's karthi gna nasegaram good evening. scotland have beaten england for the first time in ten years to win the calcutta cup.

ireland are now the only side to maintain an unbeaten record in rugby union's six nations after their victory over wales. olly foster reports from murrayfield. # flower of scotland #. england are always out some at murrayfield, rarely are they outplayed. proud eddiejones's team have been sent home to think again. hugh have been sent home to think again. huthones's have been sent home to think again. hugh jones's early score was have been sent home to think again. huthones's early score was the first against them at murrayfield for 1h years. first against them at murrayfield for14 years. hugh first against them at murrayfield for 14 years. hugh jones. two more brilliant scottish tries by half—time. sean maitland went over in the corner, jones dragged two investment across the line. they we re investment across the line. they were 16 points up. what a score. hugh were 16 points up. what a score. huthones, were 16 points up. what a score. hugh jones, who can were 16 points up. what a score. huthones, who can stop him? were 16 points up. what a score. hugh jones, who can stop him? owen farrell scored all of england's points, his sole try giving them some belief. they gave away too many penalties. when sam underhill was sin binned for a dangerous tackle

there was no way back. justjoy for scotland. a win for scotland for murrayfield to celebrate. scotland have waited ten years for this and it is all the sweeter because they've scuppered england's hopes of they've scuppered england's hopes of the grand slam. but there is still one team left in the championship still unbeaten. ireland remain top of the table with three winds out of three, though they tried to throw it away against wales in dublin. they came from behind to go 14 clear in the second half as they easily punched holes in the welsh defence. wales came back off the ropes and when steff eva ns's wales came back off the ropes and when steff evans's late try was converted there were just three points between them until they steal from jacob stockdale, his second try of the match. ireland had stolen a march in the six nations championship. olly foster, bbc news. a bronze medalfor billy morgan in snowboarding's big air competition has given great britain and northern ireland their highest medal tally in winter olympics history. morgan won team gb's fifth medal of the games. andy swiss reports from pyeongchang.

and he needs to go absolutely stratospheric. he's a former acrobat with a dodgy knee, but billy morgan was about to leap into history. double grab... yes, yes! at 28, morgan is a snowboarding veteran. this, his last jump, but surely his last olympics. what a way to finish. that is absolutely huge! it propelled morgan into bronze medal position and one by one his rivals' hopes came tumbling down. when the last one crashed, morgan, to his utter disbelief, had his medal. it's a bit of luck, luck of the draw, it came down to me on the day. so happy days. and morgan's joy was also team gb's. a record—breaking fifth medal of these games. the british team have had their ups and downs here but billy morgan has ensured they've hit their target making this the most successful winter olympics in history.

but there have been bitter disappointments. none more so than the women's curlers set to take their bronze medal match to an extra end, captain eve muirhead went for broke. a shot for victory. but instead, calamity. it's got to just sit right. it's not. instead of knocking out japan's stone she knocked out her own, handing her opponents the bronze and britain a desperate defeat. for another woman, though, a day of extraordinary achievement. after winning gold on skis last weekend, it was gold on a snowboard for the czech republic's ester ledecka. two titles, two sports, one quite extraordinary athlete. it's time to pop out of the room if you don't want to know today's results, as match of the day follows soon on bbc one. liverpool have moved up to second place in the premier league after a 4—1win over west ham.
