Our Economics Editor, Kamal Ahmed, reports now | :02:32. | :02:36. | |
from the annual meeting of world business leaders in | :02:37. | :02:39. | |
Another grim day for the global economy. | :02:40. | :02:45. | |
In New York, investors selling stocks, in Hong Kong shares down. | :02:46. | :02:55. | |
For business leaders at Davos, worrying times. | :02:56. | :02:58. | |
When you look at the oil price, the volatility of the market | :02:59. | :03:02. | |
since the start of the year, what is it telling you about | :03:03. | :03:04. | |
There is a lot of uncertainty, not just in the oil and gas industry | :03:05. | :03:11. | |
but the whole financial markets are unsure of where... | :03:12. | :03:13. | |
Certainty is really hard to find right now. | :03:14. | :03:17. | |
The questions about China, the debate going on is creating | :03:18. | :03:22. | |
It has been the price of oil that has raised most concerns, | :03:23. | :03:29. | |
But Mr Dudley says it will not last and predicts the price of oil | :03:30. | :03:36. | |
could double by the end of the year as demand from China | :03:37. | :03:39. | |
Of course, low oil prices can be good for countries that import oil, | :03:40. | :03:45. | |
like the UK and fast-growing economies across Asia. | :03:46. | :03:49. | |
There are a lot of emerging markets in trouble because of it and lots | :03:50. | :03:55. | |
Part of India's benefit at the moment is because India | :03:56. | :03:58. | |
is a natural resource importer, not an exporter, and it is doing | :03:59. | :04:01. | |
well because of low energy and commodity prices. | :04:02. | :04:03. | |
There is another issue being talked about in the corridors and snowy | :04:04. | :04:06. | |
streets of this major political and business conference, | :04:07. | :04:10. | |
the European Union and Britain's role in it. | :04:11. | :04:14. | |
David Cameron arrives here in Davos tomorrow and Europe will be high | :04:15. | :04:18. | |
I am told that the Prime Minister has been speaking to business | :04:19. | :04:23. | |
leaders and saying he wants them to come out in support of Britain | :04:24. | :04:27. | |
remaining in a reformed European Union. | :04:28. | :04:31. | |
In Bob Dudley, he certainly has one fan of that position. | :04:32. | :04:36. | |
I asked him if Britain was better off staying in the EU. | :04:37. | :04:40. | |
However, I would also say I am very supportive of the Prime Minister's | :04:41. | :04:48. | |
efforts to talk with Europe to make it more competitive. | :04:49. | :04:52. | |
Why is it still important that we remain in Europe? | :04:53. | :04:56. | |
You are an international business, you operate in countries | :04:57. | :04:58. | |
Many of the trade regulations and things would still apply | :04:59. | :05:01. | |
even if Britain were outside of it and then it would be potentially | :05:02. | :05:05. | |
I also think Britain's role in the world, in terms of influence, | :05:06. | :05:09. | |
it will have more influence being a part of Europe. | :05:10. | :05:13. | |
Many business leaders disagree with Mr Dudley, | :05:14. | :05:16. | |
saying the UK could flourish outside the EU. | :05:17. | :05:21. | |
Tomorrow, it will be Mr Cameron's turn here, | :05:22. | :05:23. | |
selling Britain's tricky renegotiation with | :05:24. | :05:24. | |
Well, just like Davos here in the Swiss Alps, this can all seem a | :05:25. | :05:40. | |
little remote. Why does it matter that billions of pounds are wiped | :05:41. | :05:45. | |
off the global markets? I suppose it matters because the investors in | :05:46. | :05:48. | |
those stocks and shares are our pension funds, our savings, and when | :05:49. | :05:53. | |
those stocks and shares fall dramatically, like they have today, | :05:54. | :05:56. | |
that has a negative effect on those pension funds and on our savings. | :05:57. | :06:03. | |
Whatever the doom and gloom today, and it might continue, as Bob Dudley | :06:04. | :06:08. | |
said, for months, tomorrow for Britain will be dominated by one | :06:09. | :06:13. | |
thing. David Cameron arrives here in Davos to encourage, to demand that | :06:14. | :06:19. | |
business leaders get behind him and what he says are the right reforms | :06:20. | :06:26. | |
to reform the European Union. That will only heighten speculation that | :06:27. | :06:29. | |
the referendum on whether to leave or remain in the EU is imminent, | :06:30. | :06:33. | |
maybe June, maybe early in the autumn. | :06:34. | :06:36. | |
Many thanks. Well, the falls in world stock | :06:37. | :06:38. | |
markets are having a significant impact on jobs and wages | :06:39. | :06:40. | |
here in Britain. Our Economics Correspondent Andy | :06:41. | :06:42. | |
Verity has sent us this At this Sheffield foundry, | :06:43. | :06:44. | |
the global slowdown is coming home. It sells bespoke | :06:45. | :06:53. | |
cast-iron products to the oil and gas industry, | :06:54. | :06:54. | |
steelmakers and manufacturers. Last spring, orders | :06:55. | :06:59. | |
started to dry up. With less money coming in, | :07:00. | :07:02. | |
the company may not be able As an employer, a small family | :07:03. | :07:04. | |
business, people have worked We have a moral responsibility | :07:05. | :07:10. | |
to try and look after them. A lot of that looking | :07:11. | :07:17. | |
after comes through what we Whether I will be able to do | :07:18. | :07:19. | |
that this year or not is something The average pay rise | :07:20. | :07:25. | |
in the year to the A much slower rise than | :07:26. | :07:29. | |
a few months before. That is in spite of the fact | :07:30. | :07:33. | |
unemployment dropped to 5.1%, The unemployment rate | :07:34. | :07:36. | |
is lower than it Economists say when the jobs market | :07:37. | :07:42. | |
reaches a critical temperature and unemployment is | :07:43. | :07:53. | |
low enough, workers will demand higher pay rises, | :07:54. | :07:55. | |
forcing employers to put prices up to cover extra costs, | :07:56. | :07:59. | |
also known as inflation. like it was reaching | :08:00. | :08:05. | |
that critical point, In contrast to heavy | :08:06. | :08:10. | |
industry, service industries like retail, | :08:11. | :08:14. | |
are far less exposed Instead, lower energy costs have | :08:15. | :08:17. | |
allowed customers to spend more In percentage terms, | :08:18. | :08:23. | |
think it was about 6%. But it is only 20,000 | :08:24. | :08:28. | |
a year anyway, now. I am hoping to pay | :08:29. | :08:33. | |
a pay rise in April. What hits businesses like this one | :08:34. | :08:39. | |
hard is the lack of confidence among customers, | :08:40. | :08:50. | |
the big corporations. They have hundreds of billions | :08:51. | :08:54. | |
of pounds saved up, but amid | :08:55. | :08:57. | |
growing uncertainty about the global economy, they are reluctant | :08:58. | :08:59. | |
to spend it. Tomorrow sees the publication | :09:00. | :09:00. | |
of the long-awaited final report of the public inquiry into the death | :09:01. | :09:10. | |
of the former Russian spy He died in London in 2006, | :09:11. | :09:12. | |
poisoned by tea In his first television interview, | :09:13. | :09:16. | |
his son Anatoly has told the BBC he wants to know who gave | :09:17. | :09:23. | |
the order to kill his father. He was talking to our | :09:24. | :09:26. | |
Security Correspondent He just loved Anatoly very much, | :09:27. | :09:28. | |
and Anatoly knew this. If he needed something, | :09:29. | :09:35. | |
he knew he should ask For Marina Litvinenko, | :09:36. | :09:37. | |
pictures are a way the father with his newborn | :09:38. | :09:44. | |
son. But for Anatoly Litvinenko, | :09:45. | :09:51. | |
who was 12 when his father died, I try not to think too much of my | :09:52. | :09:54. | |
early childhood. of a 17-year-old Alexander | :09:55. | :09:59. | |
Litvinenko, who joined the Russian but who then became an outspoken | :10:00. | :10:15. | |
critic of corruption, to what he thought was | :10:16. | :10:21. | |
the safety of Britain. his widow has been fighting to find | :10:22. | :10:26. | |
out why he was then murdered. Nine years is a long | :10:27. | :10:32. | |
time, but the fact is, there is the potential for nothing | :10:33. | :10:35. | |
at all to have happened. Nine years later, that we have | :10:36. | :10:40. | |
reached this stage It's taken a lot of | :10:41. | :10:43. | |
persistence from your mother. I don't think many people would be | :10:44. | :10:47. | |
able to do what she has done. Like, it's been such | :10:48. | :10:53. | |
a steep hill to climb. Thanks to my mother, | :10:54. | :10:58. | |
we made it through to this point. Litvinenko's tea was poisoned | :10:59. | :11:03. | |
at this Mayfair hotel in 2006. Two Russians, Andrei Lugovoi | :11:04. | :11:10. | |
and Dmitri Kovtun, They deny any role | :11:11. | :11:14. | |
in his killing. Alexander Litvinenko is seen | :11:15. | :11:17. | |
arriving to meet them When the alleged killers walked out | :11:18. | :11:20. | |
of this London hotel, across London and all | :11:21. | :11:26. | |
the way to Moscow. The question for this inquiry | :11:27. | :11:31. | |
is whether that trail leads to the Kremlin, and to | :11:32. | :11:34. | |
Vladimir Putin himself. Litvinenko was so hated | :11:35. | :11:41. | |
by the Russian state that special | :11:42. | :11:43. | |
forces publicly used his image for target practice. | :11:44. | :11:46. | |
Many in Russia saw him as a traitor. The inquiry revealed that | :11:47. | :11:52. | |
Litvinenko was being paid by Britain's intelligence | :11:53. | :11:55. | |
service, MI6, and it revealed he was also helping Spanish | :11:56. | :11:59. | |
authorities prosecute the Russian Mafia and | :12:00. | :12:03. | |
investigate their links has been described as an act | :12:04. | :12:06. | |
of nuclear terrorism Obviously, the issue of state | :12:07. | :12:13. | |
responsibility is one of the key | :12:14. | :12:17. | |
questions for this inquiry. How important is that | :12:18. | :12:20. | |
to establish for you both? To be fair, it's probably one | :12:21. | :12:25. | |
of the most important things to establish, | :12:26. | :12:29. | |
not only for us personally, to see who the trail | :12:30. | :12:32. | |
leads to, but I feel it's | :12:33. | :12:37. | |
also very important from a security perspective. | :12:38. | :12:40. | |
If you look at the fact that polonium was used as a murder | :12:41. | :12:42. | |
weapon, a nuclear isotope with the potential to kill | :12:43. | :12:46. | |
an untold number of people, you want to find who was behind | :12:47. | :12:50. | |
the murder, who planned it Whatever the diplomatic | :12:51. | :12:54. | |
consequences, this is also | :12:55. | :12:58. | |
about a son fulfilling what he sees My father did a hell of a lot | :12:59. | :13:00. | |
to get me into this country I need to respect that and do | :13:01. | :13:08. | |
what I can to honour his memory. Those who killed Alexander | :13:09. | :13:15. | |
Litvinenko may never stand trial, and so tomorrow could be the closest | :13:16. | :13:18. | |
this family gets to justice. The BBC's independent investigation | :13:19. | :13:21. | |
into Jimmy Savile appears The Dame Janet Smith Inquiry said | :13:22. | :13:30. | |
today the report would be published within the next six weeks, | :13:31. | :13:36. | |
but the news website Exaro has Our Media Correspondent | :13:37. | :13:38. | |
David Sillito is with me. Do be clear, this is the leak of a | :13:39. | :13:52. | |
draft, so we have to be careful with what it says? A lot of health | :13:53. | :13:56. | |
warnings about this, yes. If it is the real report, it could be | :13:57. | :14:00. | |
different when finally published. However, looking at it, many of the | :14:01. | :14:03. | |
quotes from the people in this report match exactly the words | :14:04. | :14:08. | |
spoken to me in investigations and inquiries I have made. Many of them | :14:09. | :14:14. | |
have not spoken publicly. So what does it actually says? It identifies | :14:15. | :14:19. | |
61 incidents of sexual assault by Jimmy Savile on BBC property, | :14:20. | :14:22. | |
including four rapes and one attempted rape. It says it goes back | :14:23. | :14:29. | |
to the early 1970s, and it says that these occurred across a variety of | :14:30. | :14:32. | |
BBC buildings. They say that the culture at the time, talent was | :14:33. | :14:36. | |
allowed to get away with behaviour that flew in the face of BBC values. | :14:37. | :14:40. | |
It said there were investigations into sexual assaults, and said the | :14:41. | :14:46. | |
investigations were wholly inadequate. It said that girl is | :14:47. | :14:50. | |
going to Top Of The Pops in the early 1970s were exposed to moral | :14:51. | :14:56. | |
danger. However, the general conclusions, it says here, I do not | :14:57. | :15:00. | |
think the BBC can be criticised for failing to uncover Savile's | :15:01. | :15:05. | |
deviancy. No one uncovered him, the BBC was just one of many. But it | :15:06. | :15:10. | |
does say the BBC can be criticised for its failure to examine Savile's | :15:11. | :15:13. | |
personality critically, because of the rumours and most of all, because | :15:14. | :15:16. | |
he was dealing with children. At least 19 people have died | :15:17. | :15:20. | |
in a gun and bomb attack The security forces say four | :15:21. | :15:23. | |
suspected attackers were later killed in a gunfight, | :15:24. | :15:26. | |
which lasted nearly three hours. The attack took place | :15:27. | :15:29. | |
at the Bacha Khan University campus, 30 miles from Peshawar | :15:30. | :15:31. | |
in the north-west of the country. Army commandos raced across open | :15:32. | :15:46. | |
fields surrounding the university as the militants opened fire on | :15:47. | :15:51. | |
students and staff inside. The attackers are believed to have | :15:52. | :15:55. | |
scaled the walls at the back of the campus, under a cover of early | :15:56. | :16:03. | |
morning thick fog. The attack lasted almost three | :16:04. | :16:06. | |
hours, as military and special forces made their way in, eventually | :16:07. | :16:11. | |
killing four gunmen who are all said to have been wearing suicide vests. | :16:12. | :16:19. | |
The only way for those inside to escape was through the main gates. | :16:20. | :16:25. | |
It was devastation inside. Walls covered in bullet holes, a sign of | :16:26. | :16:31. | |
the shock and panic as students and staff fled for their lives. | :16:32. | :16:35. | |
TRANSLATION: There was so much panic and fear that a friend of mine | :16:36. | :16:38. | |
jumped from the university building. The building is very high but he | :16:39. | :16:41. | |
just jumped because he was so scared. We saw the militants | :16:42. | :16:50. | |
chanting Allah is the greatest. The wounded were rushed to hospital, | :16:51. | :16:56. | |
traumatised. And often inconsolable. | :16:57. | :17:00. | |
Bacha Khan University has close connections to a secular political | :17:01. | :17:03. | |
party which has been targeted by militants in the past. | :17:04. | :17:09. | |
It's unclear whether the Pakistani Taliban are responsible for this | :17:10. | :17:13. | |
latest assault, but they were behind a similar attack on an Army public | :17:14. | :17:20. | |
school in Peshawar in 2014 in which 132 school children were killed. | :17:21. | :17:25. | |
Today's attack will raise questions about why the militants are still | :17:26. | :17:29. | |
able to strike soft targets like this university and how effective | :17:30. | :17:33. | |
the military operation has been this last year, especially with a mix of | :17:34. | :17:38. | |
militant networks that is evolving on the Pakistan-Afghan border. Many | :17:39. | :17:42. | |
took to the streets to condemn the attacks. This will be a sleepless | :17:43. | :17:47. | |
night for many families across the country as they again fear sending | :17:48. | :17:50. | |
their children to school the next day. | :17:51. | :17:59. | |
Austria says it's to cut significantly the number of asylum | :18:00. | :18:01. | |
applications it accepts over the next four years. | :18:02. | :18:03. | |
The country's become a major transit point for people hoping to claim | :18:04. | :18:06. | |
Our Europe Editor Katya Adler is in Berlin for us tonight. | :18:07. | :18:17. | |
Europe is in an absolute panic over migration especially amongst wealthy | :18:18. | :18:23. | |
countries like Austria which is a favourite like Germany and Sweden | :18:24. | :18:26. | |
amongst the hundreds of thousands of refugees and others who came to | :18:27. | :18:29. | |
Europe last year and are still coming. Today Austria's Government | :18:30. | :18:36. | |
bowed to political and public pressure to limit arrivalens and | :18:37. | :18:39. | |
here in Germany Angela Merkel is being urged to do the same, to set a | :18:40. | :18:43. | |
figure at which Germany says no more, we are full but she repeated | :18:44. | :18:47. | |
she thinks the only way forward is with a European solution, mainly to | :18:48. | :18:50. | |
reduce drastically the number of people coming over to Europe. There | :18:51. | :18:54. | |
is talk of forming a European coastguard, but in reality, once a | :18:55. | :18:59. | |
boat of asylum seekers is in European waters, never mind on land, | :19:00. | :19:02. | |
it's duty bound under international law to take the boat in and examine | :19:03. | :19:05. | |
each one of those asylum claims. So a lot of hopes are being pinned on | :19:06. | :19:11. | |
Turkey stopping the people smugglers sending boats over. It's being | :19:12. | :19:17. | |
offered three billion euros as an incentive, but so far so unr | :19:18. | :19:21. | |
unimpressive, it's winter the Mediterranean is very cold and 2,000 | :19:22. | :19:24. | |
people are still coming over from Turkey every day. Imagine how many | :19:25. | :19:32. | |
more when the weather is warmer. The Prime Minister said this is a race | :19:33. | :19:38. | |
against time. Sglp | :19:39. | :19:38. | |
A company which houses asylum seekers in Middlesbrough has been | :19:39. | :19:41. | |
accused of inadvertently highlighting where they live | :19:42. | :19:43. | |
by painting all their doors bright red. | :19:44. | :19:45. | |
Some residents say they've had stones and eggs thrown at windows. | :19:46. | :19:48. | |
The security firm G4S, whose sub-contractor owns | :19:49. | :19:50. | |
the houses, insists there was no policy to house asylum seekers | :19:51. | :19:54. | |
behind red doors, and they'll now be repainted. | :19:55. | :19:56. | |
Well, Danny Savage is there for us now. | :19:57. | :20:04. | |
This is just one street in Middlesbrough that has a number of | :20:05. | :20:12. | |
those controversial red front doors. Tonight, G4S, the company | :20:13. | :20:14. | |
responsible for placing asylum seekers here, has admitted it knew | :20:15. | :20:18. | |
about the issue of front door colours four years ago. It says a | :20:19. | :20:23. | |
decision not to do anything then was ill-judged. In the meantime, asylum | :20:24. | :20:28. | |
seekers living here say having a red front door singles them out. | :20:29. | :20:33. | |
The colour of the front doors in most streets generally goes | :20:34. | :20:36. | |
unnoticed, but not here in Middlesbrough. | :20:37. | :20:37. | |
A housing company called Jomast has painted many of its front doors red. | :20:38. | :20:40. | |
They believe they're being targeted by thugs and racists because a red | :20:41. | :20:48. | |
This Iraqi Kurd didn't want his identity revealed. | :20:49. | :20:52. | |
They know we are the foreign nationals, that's why. | :20:53. | :20:56. | |
They knock on the door, they are painting the windows. | :20:57. | :21:01. | |
They knock on the door and swear at us. | :21:02. | :21:04. | |
They are clear to the - red door means foreign people live | :21:05. | :21:10. | |
He says this paint on his window was left by people targeting him | :21:11. | :21:14. | |
In another part of town, the initials of the far-right | :21:15. | :21:19. | |
National Front group have been scratched into the red door | :21:20. | :21:22. | |
Where asylum seekers live varies widely across the UK. | :21:23. | :21:27. | |
Almost half of local authorities don't have anyone | :21:28. | :21:32. | |
But 15% of local authorities have more than 100 with Glasgow | :21:33. | :21:51. | |
and Middlesbrough among those with the highest proportion, | :21:52. | :21:53. | |
Is the issue in Middlesbrough less about the colour of doors, | :21:54. | :21:57. | |
and more about a backlash against the number of asylum seekers? | :21:58. | :21:59. | |
The level of racism is pretty low in the town, it is, | :22:00. | :22:02. | |
because I used to chair a racial harassment case group meeting | :22:03. | :22:05. | |
so I knew how many cases were coming through. | :22:06. | :22:07. | |
I know they're under-reported but even when you take that | :22:08. | :22:10. | |
into consideration there's not that much racism going on. | :22:11. | :22:12. | |
Local campaigners say they've raised the red door issue before in front | :22:13. | :22:15. | |
The boss of the company which owns the houses says the problem | :22:16. | :22:19. | |
of his tenants being subjected to racism is news to him. | :22:20. | :22:26. | |
There has been mention of the fact that our properties might have | :22:27. | :22:32. | |
red doors, on occasion, but it was never regarded | :22:33. | :22:34. | |
We're going to repaint the front doors to make sure that there is no | :22:35. | :22:41. | |
preponderance of any particular colour. | :22:42. | :22:43. | |
You're here and people here are asylum seekers as well? | :22:44. | :22:47. | |
Another asylum seeker who believes his red front door | :22:48. | :22:52. | |
attracts trouble likes the idea of a new colour scheme. | :22:53. | :22:55. | |
Would painting your front door make a difference? | :22:56. | :22:57. | |
Will make me not worry that other people may think that | :22:58. | :23:04. | |
The hope here is that a lick of paint will tackle the problem, | :23:05. | :23:12. | |
giving asylum seekers a quieter life. | :23:13. | :23:13. | |
Danny Savage, BBC news, Middlesbrough. | :23:14. | :23:19. | |
The Defence Secretary, Michael Fallon, says he's very | :23:20. | :23:22. | |
concerned about the number of civilian casualties caused | :23:23. | :23:24. | |
by Russian air strikes targeting opposition forces in Syria, | :23:25. | :23:26. | |
Russia launches its air strikes from a base in Latakia on the Syrian | :23:27. | :23:33. | |
coast, and our correspondent Steve Rosenberg is there. | :23:34. | :23:40. | |
Well, since the start of its air campaign in Syria Russia has faced | :23:41. | :23:47. | |
dproeing criticism over who it's targeting and laevenlged civilian | :23:48. | :23:51. | |
casualties -- growing. -- alleged. The Russians have brushed aside that | :23:52. | :23:54. | |
criticism claiming they're the victims, the victims of an | :23:55. | :23:57. | |
information war against the West. From what we have seen today at the | :23:58. | :24:01. | |
Russian base in Syria that criticism has not convinced Russia to reduce | :24:02. | :24:04. | |
the intensity of its air operation. In Syria, it's still Russian bombers | :24:05. | :24:09. | |
that dominate the skies. We last visited Russia's Hemeimeem | :24:10. | :24:12. | |
air base two months ago. When we came back today, | :24:13. | :24:16. | |
we noticed an extra runway The S-400 rocket launcher brought | :24:17. | :24:22. | |
in after Turkey shot down a Russian Since it launched its military | :24:23. | :24:27. | |
operations in Syria three-and-a-half months ago, Russia's air force has | :24:28. | :24:33. | |
carried out around 6,000 sorties from this air base near Latakia | :24:34. | :24:37. | |
and it's Russian air strikes The Russians put on display | :24:38. | :24:44. | |
their firepower today. We were shown how they load missiles | :24:45. | :24:49. | |
on to their most advanced bombers. But how accurate are | :24:50. | :24:52. | |
the Russian air strikes? Western governments and human rights | :24:53. | :24:56. | |
groups claim that unguided Russian munitions have caused hundreds | :24:57. | :25:00. | |
of civilian deaths across Syria. There's nothing new about | :25:01. | :25:04. | |
statements like this, But we never see any | :25:05. | :25:10. | |
facts or any proof." Are you saying that after nearly | :25:11. | :25:17. | |
6,000 sorties Russian bombing has And now, as well as the military | :25:18. | :25:22. | |
operation, there's a humanitarian This is food and medicine | :25:23. | :25:38. | |
for a Syrian town besieged by fighters from | :25:39. | :25:45. | |
so-called Islamic State. The Russians are trying to show that | :25:46. | :25:48. | |
instead of harming civilians, Steve Rosenberg, BBC News, | :25:49. | :25:53. | |
at the Russian air base in Syria. 2015 was the hottest year | :25:54. | :26:03. | |
since records began, according to Nasa | :26:04. | :26:05. | |
and the UK Met Office. New figures show the Earth's | :26:06. | :26:09. | |
temperature was 1 degree Celsius Our Science Editor David | :26:10. | :26:12. | |
Shukman has the story. Record heat fanned massive fires | :26:13. | :26:20. | |
in California and Indonesia. Intense rain storms | :26:21. | :26:27. | |
triggered widespread floods. From the Caribbean to Japan, | :26:28. | :26:36. | |
which was hit by an unprecedented And punishing drought has left | :26:37. | :26:39. | |
millions hungry in Africa. And behind all this | :26:40. | :26:46. | |
is a rise in global Scientists say that is partly | :26:47. | :26:48. | |
driven by our greenhouse gases and partly by a natural cycle | :26:49. | :26:55. | |
called El Nino in the Pacific where warm water releases | :26:56. | :26:58. | |
heat and disrupts weather The main reason we have such warm | :26:59. | :27:01. | |
temperatures is human induced climate change and that | :27:02. | :27:08. | |
is the main factor. El Nino is contributing | :27:09. | :27:10. | |
a small amount on top. Let's see the context | :27:11. | :27:12. | |
for this new record. This graph from the Met office shows | :27:13. | :27:16. | |
temperatures since 1850 fluctuating compared to the long-term | :27:17. | :27:21. | |
average, gradually rising right up to the record high set last year, | :27:22. | :27:25. | |
an increase of one degree Halfway to the two degrees limit | :27:26. | :27:28. | |
world leaders agreed should be the maximum for global | :27:29. | :27:35. | |
warming when they met One degree does not sound like very | :27:36. | :27:37. | |
much but if you think about the differences | :27:38. | :27:40. | |
on a planetary scale, the last ice age was only five | :27:41. | :27:43. | |
degrees colder than it is today. So one degree is actually a very | :27:44. | :27:47. | |
significant number and we already see an impact in the Arctic, | :27:48. | :27:49. | |
mountain glaciers, Areas marked in red and orange | :27:50. | :27:51. | |
were warmer than average last year, there were lots, including the UK | :27:52. | :28:05. | |
where last year will be remembered for record-breaking | :28:06. | :28:08. | |
rain in December. The flooding that struck | :28:09. | :28:12. | |
Northern England had all kinds of causes but scientists have always | :28:13. | :28:14. | |
warned warmer air can hold more moisture and can produce | :28:15. | :28:17. | |
more intense storms. And the forecast is for | :28:18. | :28:22. | |
another global temperature That does not mean that | :28:23. | :28:25. | |
everyone will feel it, but scientists say | :28:26. | :28:29. | |
a warming trend is clear. One of the frontrunners for next | :28:30. | :28:37. | |
month's Oscars is called Spotlight and tells the true story | :28:38. | :28:40. | |
of an American newspaper's investigation into the cover-up | :28:41. | :28:42. | |
of child abuse within the Catholic Our Arts Editor, Will Gompertz, | :28:43. | :28:45. | |
met the film's star, Michael Keaton, and the real-life | :28:46. | :28:49. | |
character he portrays. When you're a poor kid from a poor | :28:50. | :28:52. | |
family and the priest pays attention | :28:53. | :28:54. | |
to you, it's a big deal. There's been a massive cover-up | :28:55. | :28:57. | |
in the Catholic Church. The numbers indicate that there | :28:58. | :29:02. | |
were senior clergy involved. It's exposed by the Boston | :29:03. | :29:05. | |
Globe Spotlight team of investigative journalists, | :29:06. | :29:09. | |
led by Walter "Robby" Robinson, Everyone knew something | :29:10. | :29:11. | |
was going on, Michael, in a way, this | :29:12. | :29:15. | |
is an old-fashioned movie. Are you surprised that it's | :29:16. | :29:20. | |
getting the attention? I guess I am, because it's | :29:21. | :29:23. | |
a procedural thing. You're talking about | :29:24. | :29:26. | |
tedium, you know. You're talking about papers | :29:27. | :29:28. | |
and files and that can be "Oh, | :29:29. | :29:33. | |
boy", especially now with what we are used | :29:34. | :29:38. | |
to and addicted to. That's the only thing that | :29:39. | :29:40. | |
will put and end to this. It's a piece of recent history, | :29:41. | :29:49. | |
meaning Michael Keaton could shadow his opposite | :29:50. | :29:53. | |
number at the Globe. A guy leans on a guy and suddenly, | :29:54. | :29:55. | |
the whole town looks the other way. This movie goes beyond being just | :29:56. | :30:05. | |
about an investigative team. It's about a community, | :30:06. | :30:08. | |
which kind of becomes complicit, It's actually true | :30:09. | :30:11. | |
of a lot of us and a | :30:12. | :30:18. | |
lot of our institutions. We all thought the church | :30:19. | :30:21. | |
is too important, So that when the priest | :30:22. | :30:22. | |
offended and they said it's | :30:23. | :30:31. | |
just one priest, people believed them, | :30:32. | :30:33. | |
when in fact... When in fact, they were | :30:34. | :30:34. | |
literally covering up the sexual crimes | :30:35. | :30:42. | |
of thousands of priests across the United | :30:43. | :30:43. | |
States for decades. This is Boston, and the Church does | :30:44. | :30:46. | |
not want them to be found. Spotlight has received | :30:47. | :30:49. | |
six Oscar-nominated, which, | :30:50. | :30:55. | |
controversially, is six more For the second year running, | :30:56. | :30:58. | |
all 20 acting nominations It seems to me that the voting | :30:59. | :31:02. | |
bloc I just think they're | :31:03. | :31:11. | |
possibly out of touch. Do you think the Spotlight team | :31:12. | :31:18. | |
should be put on it? There are no special effects | :31:19. | :31:20. | |
and precious little action. It's simply a powerful story, | :31:21. | :31:30. | |
which according to many critics, Newsnight is coming | :31:31. | :31:40. | |
up over on BBC Two. | :31:41. | :31:43. |
