Russia stands accused of state-sponsored murde, after the | :00:07. | :00:14. | |
killing of the former spy, Alexander Litvinenko. | :00:15. | :00:20. | |
He died of radiation poisoning in London in 2006. | :00:21. | :00:23. | |
An independent inquiry says it was probably sanctioned | :00:24. | :00:25. | |
I'm of course very pleased that the words my husband spoke | :00:26. | :00:33. | |
on his deathbed when he accused Mr Putin of his murder | :00:34. | :00:35. | |
International arrest warrants remain in place for the men accused | :00:36. | :00:42. | |
of the murder but Russia refuses to extradite them. | :00:43. | :00:46. | |
This was a blatant and unacceptable breach of the most fundamental | :00:47. | :00:49. | |
tenets of international law and civilised behaviour | :00:50. | :00:58. | |
But the Government has come under pressure from all sides to take much | :00:59. | :01:06. | |
A "dark chapter" - the BBC's verdict on the Savile | :01:07. | :01:13. | |
scandal, as an early draft of an official report is leaked. | :01:14. | :01:15. | |
How close is David Cameron to a deal on EU reform? | :01:16. | :01:17. | |
As the debate on Trident intensifies, we take a closer look | :01:18. | :01:22. | |
If the Prime Minister ever were to give the order to fire, | :01:23. | :01:31. | |
it's from here, via a trigger just like this, that the Trident nuclear | :01:32. | :01:34. | |

A decade after the former Russian spy Alexander Litvinenko | :01:52. | :02:17. | |
was murdered in London, a public inquiry has found | :02:18. | :02:19. | |
a "strong probability" that his death was ordered | :02:20. | :02:22. | |
by the Russian security service and approved by President Putin. | :02:23. | :02:25. | |
The Russians have dismissed the findings as absurd | :02:26. | :02:28. | |
But the Home Secretary said it was a "blatant breach | :02:29. | :02:33. | |
Mr Litvinenko died in hospital three weeks after drinking tea laced | :02:34. | :02:38. | |
with a highly radioactive substance, as our security correspondent, | :02:39. | :02:40. | |
Alexander Litvinenko met a slow, painful death - | :02:41. | :02:48. | |
Today a judge concluded he was killed in an operation | :02:49. | :02:54. | |
by the Russian Security Service, the FSB, likely organised | :02:55. | :02:56. | |
-- likely authorised at the highest level. | :02:57. | :03:17. | |
The FSB operation to kill Mr Litvinenko was probably approved | :03:18. | :03:20. | |
by Mr Patrushev, then head of the FSB, and also by President | :03:21. | :03:22. | |
Litvinenko was a former Russian intelligence officer, | :03:23. | :03:27. | |
who'd spoken out about corruption, and then fled with his | :03:28. | :03:29. | |
In 2006, he met two Russians, former FSB officer, Andrei Lugovoi, | :03:30. | :03:34. | |
and Dmitry Kovtun, both caught here on CCTV. | :03:35. | :03:38. | |
In the Pine Bar, Litvinenko was served a drink with this teapot | :03:39. | :03:42. | |
which was laced with radioactive polonium. | :03:43. | :03:46. | |
Police would be able to follow a trail of radioactivity | :03:47. | :03:53. | |
from restaurants, to football stadiums, all leaving | :03:54. | :03:55. | |
Including even from the teapot, which was used again. | :03:56. | :04:00. | |
It took Litvinenko himself three weeks to die. | :04:01. | :04:02. | |
There were audible gasps here in court when the judge said | :04:03. | :04:09. | |
responsibility probably lay at the highest levels of the Kremlin | :04:10. | :04:20. | |
and this report argues the motive was that Litvinenko was viewed | :04:21. | :04:23. | |
Litvinenko was so hated that Russian special forces used his image | :04:24. | :04:28. | |
Today's report said that's because of his accusations of murder | :04:29. | :04:33. | |
and corruption against the FSB and Putin. | :04:34. | :04:36. | |
And the Russians had learned he'd begun working with Britain's MI6. | :04:37. | :04:38. | |
That came when Litvinenko tried to recruit Lugovoi | :04:39. | :04:41. | |
also to work for MI6, not realising where his true loyalties lay. | :04:42. | :04:46. | |
Today his widow, who fought for years for this inquiry, | :04:47. | :04:49. | |
told me the British Government must now expel all Russian spies based | :04:50. | :04:52. | |
in their London Embassy and take action against senior | :04:53. | :04:55. | |
We are looking for this personal sanction against people | :04:56. | :05:03. | |
who were involved in the crime against my husband. | :05:04. | :05:08. | |
Today in the Commons, the Government said it | :05:09. | :05:10. | |
would consider the implications of the report. | :05:11. | :05:13. | |
The conclusion that the Russian state was probably involved | :05:14. | :05:16. | |
in the murder of Mr Litvinenko is deeply disturbing. | :05:17. | :05:21. | |
It goes without saying that this was a blatant and unacceptable | :05:22. | :05:26. | |
breach of the most fundamental tenets of international law | :05:27. | :05:29. | |
But, the Opposition criticised the Government's response. | :05:30. | :05:38. | |
I am not sure it goes anywhere near enough in answering | :05:39. | :05:42. | |
the seriousness of the findings in this report. | :05:43. | :05:45. | |
Indeed, it could send a dangerous signal to Russia, | :05:46. | :05:49. | |
Today two of the most powerful men in Russia, | :05:50. | :05:55. | |
a former director of the Security Service, | :05:56. | :05:58. | |
and the country's leader, were named as likely responsible | :05:59. | :06:01. | |
for what's been described as "an act of nuclear terrorism | :06:02. | :06:04. | |
A murder which left Alexander Litvinenko's | :06:05. | :06:09. | |
body so radioactive, it had to be buried | :06:10. | :06:11. | |
Russia reacted angrily to the inquiry and accused | :06:12. | :06:22. | |
The Russian ambassador was summoned to the Foreign Office. | :06:23. | :06:28. | |
He emerged from the meeting with a warning that relations | :06:29. | :06:30. | |
Our diplomatic correspondent, Bridget Kendall, considers | :06:31. | :06:35. | |
the potential long-term consequences of the Litvinenko case. | :06:36. | :06:40. | |
Top story on Russian TV news this evening, but the findings of the | :06:41. | :06:47. | |
Litvinenko report were described as "be a sound and a farce" by the | :06:48. | :06:52. | |
Russian government. Also speaking out, the main suspect, Andrei | :06:53. | :06:56. | |
Lugovoi, who dismissed the findings as an attempt to slur Russia. | :06:57. | :07:02. | |
TRANSLATION: Before it was just me and Kovtun. Now the report says | :07:03. | :07:06. | |
probably Russia's leaders were involved. But where's the evidence? | :07:07. | :07:12. | |
What's the motive? It's some group in the British establishment which | :07:13. | :07:16. | |
wants to worsen relations with Russia. In London, the Russian | :07:17. | :07:21. | |
Ambassador was summoned to the Foreign Office, where Britain laid | :07:22. | :07:25. | |
down the same demands it made nearly a decade ago, that the suspectsk | :07:26. | :07:28. | |
extradited and Russia explain the actions of its Security Service. | :07:29. | :07:32. | |
Afterwards he dismissed it as a white wash. For us, it is absolutely | :07:33. | :07:38. | |
unacceptable that the report concludes that the Russian state was | :07:39. | :07:42. | |
in anyway involved in the death of Mr Litvinenko. This this cannot help | :07:43. | :07:49. | |
but hurt our by lateral relations. Today's response by the British | :07:50. | :07:52. | |
Government, this Litvinenko report, is, let's face it, minimal. Asset | :07:53. | :07:58. | |
freezes on the two suspects and the Russian Ambassador called in here to | :07:59. | :08:03. | |
the Foreign Office. The reason is, Britain faces a delemia, yes, the | :08:04. | :08:06. | |
report looks like a threat but Russia is also needed as a partner. | :08:07. | :08:12. | |
First in Syria, where Russia's air strikes are trouble bug West wants | :08:13. | :08:16. | |
it to help with peace talks and to combat so-called IS extremists. Then | :08:17. | :08:21. | |
there's Iran's nuclear deal. Well, Russia was apparently helpful. And | :08:22. | :08:26. | |
lastly Ukraine, where Russia may have fuelled the conflict but it is | :08:27. | :08:31. | |
also needed to end T aggressive, authoritarian, Putin's Russia may | :08:32. | :08:34. | |
invite zero trust in the West but it is too important to be totally | :08:35. | :08:39. | |
ostracised. We have put sanctions in place, led the arguments in Europe | :08:40. | :08:42. | |
for sanctions against Russia because of theirI will Lille action in the | :08:43. | :08:46. | |
Ukraine but do we, at some level, have to go on having some sort of | :08:47. | :08:50. | |
relationship with them because we need a solution to the Syria crisis? | :08:51. | :08:55. | |
Yes, we do. But we do it with clear eyes and a very cold heart. | :08:56. | :09:01. | |
Less than six months ago, they were shaking hands. Now the problem for | :09:02. | :09:06. | |
Britain, how to deal with Mr Putin without letting him think he can get | :09:07. | :09:08. | |
away with anything. Lawyers for Jimmy Savile's victims | :09:09. | :09:16. | |
say they're astonished that an independent review seems to have | :09:17. | :09:18. | |
accepted that senior BBC managers A leaked early draft version | :09:19. | :09:20. | |
of the report by Dame Janet Smith identifies dozens of sexual assaults | :09:21. | :09:32. | |
linked to the corporation. BBC managers confronted Savile | :09:33. | :09:34. | |
during the 1970s but the report concludes they had no evidence | :09:35. | :09:36. | |
of wrongdoing, as David I'll tell you what we'll do now, | :09:37. | :09:38. | |
ladies and gentlemen. Girls at Top Of The Pops | :09:39. | :09:43. | |
in the '70s were, it said, But the BBC isn't | :09:44. | :09:49. | |
responding just yet. What happened was a dark chapter | :09:50. | :09:56. | |
in the history of the BBC. The review has said that the copy | :09:57. | :10:00. | |
leaked to the media was an early draft, which has changed | :10:01. | :10:04. | |
considerably, so while I'm impatient to learn those lessons, | :10:05. | :10:09. | |
the responsible thing must be to act on the final report, | :10:10. | :10:12. | |
which we've not yet received. But this draft does shed a great | :10:13. | :10:16. | |
deal of light on questions such And, most importantly, | :10:17. | :10:23. | |
what did the people at the top know? He tended to take over | :10:24. | :10:30. | |
things when he was there. Derek Chinnery ran Radio | :10:31. | :10:36. | |
1 in the late '70s. Savile was at his leaving party, | :10:37. | :10:39. | |
but the report highlights another meeting that began with a call from | :10:40. | :10:47. | |
his boss. He'd heard rumours about what Savile | :10:48. | :10:50. | |
had been up to and would Savile had been summoned | :10:51. | :10:52. | |
to a meeting, but what did Derek Chinnery remembered very | :10:53. | :10:58. | |
little, but he wasn't alone Doreen Davies, here in the centre, | :10:59. | :11:02. | |
was the official observer. She's never spoken before, | :11:03. | :11:07. | |
and crucially she remembers exactly Taking 14-year-old girls home | :11:08. | :11:08. | |
from Top Of The Pops. He said - I believe that one | :11:09. | :11:24. | |
of the stories was you had girls in your flat in London, so Jimmy | :11:25. | :11:30. | |
Savile said, yes, yes, that's right. Savile said he was just | :11:31. | :11:33. | |
keeping the girls safe. Dame Janet Smith spoke to more | :11:34. | :11:36. | |
than 100 people who'd heard rumours. These two senior figures from Radio | :11:37. | :11:49. | |
1 had heard nothing. No one was whispering, | :11:50. | :11:52. | |
no one was gossiping? This too is the conclusion | :11:53. | :11:54. | |
of the draft report. No one at the top knew, | :11:55. | :12:06. | |
but the victims have their doubts. I met - we'll call her Jane - | :12:07. | :12:09. | |
who as a 15-year-old was assaulted by Savile in a Top Of | :12:10. | :12:15. | |
The Pops dressing room. I am certain that people were aware | :12:16. | :12:19. | |
of what or why Savile took me Because you were seen to be taken | :12:20. | :12:22. | |
by him to that dressing Regardless of whether in the '70s | :12:23. | :12:27. | |
that lifestyle was different, Savile got away with it and this | :12:28. | :12:38. | |
report, like the police, like the NHS, has | :12:39. | :12:46. | |
the same conclusion. Why didn't people | :12:47. | :12:47. | |
ask more questions? David Cameron is unlikely | :12:48. | :12:50. | |
to get an agreement on reform of the European Union | :12:51. | :12:59. | |
at next month's summit, according to the French Prime | :13:00. | :13:02. | |
Minister, Manuel Valls. Mr Cameron has repeatedly said he's | :13:03. | :13:04. | |
hopeful of a deal in February and has suggested a referendum | :13:05. | :13:07. | |
on Britain's membership could be But speaking at an economic summit | :13:08. | :13:09. | |
in Switzerland today, he said he was in "no hurry", | :13:10. | :13:18. | |
as our economics editor, For a man who claimed | :13:19. | :13:20. | |
not to be in a hurry, there was certainly a gear | :13:21. | :13:25. | |
change over Europe today, as the Prime Minister came | :13:26. | :13:27. | |
to the Alps to sell to political and business leaders | :13:28. | :13:29. | |
what he sees as the best deal I can hold my referendum at any time | :13:30. | :13:32. | |
up until the end of 2017, but of course I think it would be | :13:33. | :13:48. | |
good for Europe and good for Britain if we demonstrated that we can turn | :13:49. | :13:54. | |
the goodwill that there is into the actions that | :13:55. | :13:57. | |
are necessary to put this The Prime Minister admitted | :13:58. | :13:59. | |
there was still some way to go and he made it clear that curbs | :14:00. | :14:04. | |
on EU citizens coming to Britain were an essential part | :14:05. | :14:06. | |
of the renegotiation package. If there is no deal on welfare curbs | :14:07. | :14:11. | |
for immigrants from the EU into Britain, is there | :14:12. | :14:15. | |
no deal at all? This migration welfare question | :14:16. | :14:19. | |
is absolutely crucial. You should have to wait four years | :14:20. | :14:22. | |
before you get full access As I've said, that proposal | :14:23. | :14:25. | |
remains on the table. I know that some other countries | :14:26. | :14:30. | |
have difficulties with it. David Cameron is here | :14:31. | :14:34. | |
in Davos with a big message Back my efforts, he says, | :14:35. | :14:36. | |
to keep Britain inside a reformed European Union, but actually it's | :14:37. | :14:45. | |
not the big public stages that It's those private negotiations | :14:46. | :14:48. | |
with other European leaders and global leaders, and those | :14:49. | :14:57. | |
are happening today, One of those meetings | :14:58. | :14:59. | |
was with Mark Rutte, the Dutch Prime Minister | :15:00. | :15:04. | |
and Mr Cameron's ally, but on the issue of curbing | :15:05. | :15:06. | |
migration it wasn't I think the concrete idea | :15:07. | :15:09. | |
on the table has this notion of discrimination, so what we now | :15:10. | :15:14. | |
have to do together collectively is find a solution for all the 28 | :15:15. | :15:17. | |
in which you would uphold the principle of free movement, | :15:18. | :15:20. | |
uphold the principle of non-discrimination, | :15:21. | :15:23. | |
and I think that is doable. The rest of Davos is watching | :15:24. | :15:26. | |
and for the biggest beast, We think it is in the UK's interest, | :15:27. | :15:29. | |
Europe's interest, and global interest to keep the union together | :15:30. | :15:36. | |
and to have the United Kingdom stay I'm not sure David Cameron | :15:37. | :15:39. | |
is representing our interests I mean, I think it's really very | :15:40. | :15:56. | |
disappointing that the changes he is trying to push | :15:57. | :16:00. | |
through are so small. The skies were clear | :16:01. | :16:03. | |
over the Alps today, but Mr Cameron knows there could be | :16:04. | :16:05. | |
a few more icy moments before any deal is put to the British public | :16:06. | :16:09. | |
in that long-awaited EU referendum. Our political editor | :16:10. | :16:12. | |
Laura Kuenssberg is in Downing When Mr Cameron says he is in no | :16:13. | :16:30. | |
hurry at all, does that mean he's has given up hope of a deal next | :16:31. | :16:35. | |
month? I don't think you've given up, but certainly no politician | :16:36. | :16:39. | |
wants to look like a fool, and if he'd allowed a sense of | :16:40. | :16:41. | |
inevitability to carry on and then it failed next month, that would | :16:42. | :16:44. | |
have looked like a big failure of the him as well but I can tell you | :16:45. | :16:48. | |
tonight the bigger reason is that the negotiations are a long way off | :16:49. | :16:59. | |
from being complete. Countries are still far apart on issues like | :17:00. | :17:01. | |
whether or not the UK can ban benefits for four years for EU | :17:02. | :17:04. | |
workers. There is no final agreement as I understand it in any of the | :17:05. | :17:07. | |
four areas where David Cameron wants to see change. There is nothing on | :17:08. | :17:09. | |
paper yet, no concrete proposals in sight. There are areas of broad | :17:10. | :17:14. | |
agreement. There has been progress in all of this. But for David | :17:15. | :17:17. | |
Cameron I think the sense was he wanted to arrest this sense that the | :17:18. | :17:20. | |
deal was inevitably going to happen in a matter of weeks. There is | :17:21. | :17:24. | |
nothing that is certain about that. Now stand back for a second. There | :17:25. | :17:28. | |
is real political drive and goodwill to make it happen, but that's not | :17:29. | :17:33. | |
the same as him being able to come back next month waving a piece of | :17:34. | :17:41. | |
paper and claiming triumph already. In a sense as the front -- French | :17:42. | :17:44. | |
Prime Minister Manuel Valls said, it's not likely, but it's certainly | :17:45. | :17:47. | |
going to happen, there's a sense it was a reality check. | :17:48. | :17:51. | |
In Germany, Chancellor Merkel is facing louder calls to limit | :17:52. | :17:54. | |
the number of refugees entering the country. | :17:55. | :17:55. | |
Her government announced today that emergency border controls | :17:56. | :17:57. | |
would remain in place indefinitely following public disquiet over | :17:58. | :18:00. | |
the number of people seeking asylum, many of them fleeing | :18:01. | :18:03. | |
More than a million asylum seekers arrived in 2015, | :18:04. | :18:08. | |
and officials say 2000 people are still arriving every day. | :18:09. | :18:14. | |
Our Europe editor Katya Adler reports from Berlin on the changing | :18:15. | :18:16. | |
This is what looking after yourself and your family is beginning to look | :18:17. | :18:25. | |

Customers say they want them for self-defence. | :18:32. | :18:37. | |
A lot of women are coming to us and a lot of other people. | :18:38. | :18:42. | |

The shop manager here told us the New Year's Eve sexual assault | :18:54. | :18:59. | |
by migrants in the city of Cologne has changed everything. | :19:00. | :19:06. | |
TRANSLATION: I'm worried about my wife. | :19:07. | :19:08. | |
Everywhere I've been is sold out of pepper spray. | :19:09. | :19:10. | |
I'm not a racist but I think women now need to protect themselves. | :19:11. | :19:14. | |
For German society, this is a dramatic shift. | :19:15. | :19:17. | |
Because of this country's Nazi past, people have tended to be sensitive | :19:18. | :19:22. | |
about their attitude towards minorities and the use | :19:23. | :19:25. | |
They put their trust in their Government, | :19:26. | :19:30. | |
particularly Angela Merkel, to provide the stability | :19:31. | :19:32. | |
and security this country holds so dear. | :19:33. | :19:37. | |
But now most Germans say they feel the migration situation | :19:38. | :19:39. | |
Most Germans are very concerned about migration, | :19:40. | :19:49. | |
but they are not calling for a stop to it altogether. | :19:50. | :19:53. | |
When the virulently anti-immigrant Pegida movement takes | :19:54. | :19:56. | |

There is a huge amount of tension here tonight. | :20:03. | :20:04. | |
Traditionally in Germany there is a rift between activists | :20:05. | :20:08. | |
on the right on the left but the migrant question is pushing | :20:09. | :20:11. | |
A far cry from the ordered country Germany likes to be, | :20:12. | :20:19. | |
the Merkel Government has been accused of failing its people, | :20:20. | :20:21. | |
opening its doors to over a million newcomers, without considering | :20:22. | :20:24. | |
If a challenge is huge, usually it'll trigger | :20:25. | :20:33. | |
We'll have to address them and the first step in addressing | :20:34. | :20:39. | |
We will do it along with other European partners. | :20:40. | :20:46. | |
Another huge challenge for Germany is how to integrate | :20:47. | :20:49. | |
Language classes are a start but there's a concern amongst | :20:50. | :20:55. | |
Germany's migrant communities, recently arrived and | :20:56. | :20:57. | |
well-established, that the criminal behaviour of some, will | :20:58. | :21:01. | |
This man has lived here in Berlin for 30 years. | :21:02. | :21:08. | |
TRANSLATION: In one night in Cologne, Germany's welcoming | :21:09. | :21:11. | |
There is a new kind of racism here, affecting all of us | :21:12. | :21:16. | |
But I'm optimistic Angela Merkel can work this out. | :21:17. | :21:22. | |
"We can do this" said Mrs Merkel a few months ago. | :21:23. | :21:25. | |
The migrant question has thrown the EU into crisis and even this, | :21:26. | :21:31. | |
its most powerful nation, is struggling to find a way out. | :21:32. | :21:39. | |
The Crown Prosecution Service is to review its file on the death | :21:40. | :21:42. | |
of Poppi Worthington following the findings | :21:43. | :21:44. | |
of a High Court family judge this week. | :21:45. | :21:46. | |
The judge ruled that the one-year-old girl had been | :21:47. | :21:48. | |
sexually assaulted by her father before her death at home | :21:49. | :21:51. | |
Her father, Paul Worthington, was never charged with any crime, | :21:52. | :21:58. | |
Dylan Seabridge was an eight-year-old boy who died | :21:59. | :22:07. | |
of scurvy in 2011 in rural Pembrokeshire. | :22:08. | :22:10. | |
Scurvy is a disease rarely seen in the UK these days, | :22:11. | :22:13. | |
and is associated with a very poor diet and a deficiency of Vitamin C. | :22:14. | :22:17. | |
A serious case review into the circumstances of his death | :22:18. | :22:20. | |
has still not been published, but the BBC has seen a draft version | :22:21. | :22:24. | |
which says the authorities were aware of concerns over a year | :22:25. | :22:27. | |
Our social affairs correspondent Alison Holt has the story. | :22:28. | :22:34. | |
This is rural Pembrokeshire, with farms and occasional houses | :22:35. | :22:36. | |
It's the area where Dylan Seabridge lived, his home at the end | :22:37. | :22:42. | |
He was invisible to the authorities, according to the draft | :22:43. | :22:46. | |
of the serious case review leaked to BBC Wales. | :22:47. | :22:49. | |
It says they knew so little about Dylan, it was impossible | :22:50. | :22:52. | |
The inquest into his death heard although he was registered | :22:53. | :23:00. | |
with a GP, no record was found of him seeing a doctor or dentist | :23:01. | :23:03. | |
from 13 months old, until he died of scurvy, aged eight. | :23:04. | :23:09. | |
Scurvy is a disease that develops as a consequence of not having | :23:10. | :23:12. | |
Dr John Puntis is an expert in children's nutrition. | :23:13. | :23:19. | |
He says scurvy is easily treatable if identified. | :23:20. | :23:23. | |
I think this child would have been very miserable, very uncomfortable. | :23:24. | :23:29. | |
I think he would have had pain in his limbs and joints. | :23:30. | :23:33. | |
He was probably able to do very little for himself at the end. | :23:34. | :23:38. | |
Dylan's parents were charged with neglect after his | :23:39. | :23:40. | |
The Crown Prosecution Service dropped the charges in November | :23:41. | :23:45. | |
2014, deciding it wasn't in the public interest to continue. | :23:46. | :23:50. | |
At the inquest into their son's death, his parents disputed that | :23:51. | :23:53. | |
Dylan had scurvy and they also say he was not invisible | :23:54. | :23:56. | |
The draft serious case review details a complicated story. | :23:57. | :24:01. | |
It says Dylan's parents were in a lengthy legal dispute | :24:02. | :24:04. | |
with neighbouring Ceredigion Council, after his mother, | :24:05. | :24:08. | |
a teacher, injured herself at one of their schools. | :24:09. | :24:11. | |
During the case, a lawyer and headteacher, concerned | :24:12. | :24:13. | |
by the mother's mental health, alerted the authorities | :24:14. | :24:16. | |
That was a year before Dylan's death. | :24:17. | :24:21. | |
The report says he was not known to Pembrokeshire education officials | :24:22. | :24:24. | |
The report concludes that the laws and the regulations that surround | :24:25. | :24:30. | |
home education in Wales need strengthening as | :24:31. | :24:33. | |
It goes as far as to say that existing regulations are inadequate | :24:34. | :24:38. | |
The former Ceredigion Council lawyer who wanted checks made can't | :24:39. | :24:46. | |
understand why four years after Dylan's death, no official | :24:47. | :24:50. | |
It seems clear that nobody is interested in anybody being told | :24:51. | :25:00. | |
In statements, Ceredigion Council insists it provided information | :25:01. | :25:07. | |
promptly for the unpublished serious case review. | :25:08. | :25:10. | |
Pembrokeshire Council says the review process was suspended | :25:11. | :25:13. | |
during the lengthy criminal investigation and that system | :25:14. | :25:16. | |
changes mean a different type of review is now under way. | :25:17. | :25:21. | |
The Welsh government is due to publish new guidance | :25:22. | :25:24. | |
Alison Holt, BBC News, Pembrokeshire. | :25:25. | :25:33. | |
The Defence Secretary Michael Fallon is claiming that the UK's Trident | :25:34. | :25:35. | |
nuclear weapons system has "never been needed more than it is today". | :25:36. | :25:38. | |
Mr Fallon was speaking on a visit to the Faslane naval base | :25:39. | :25:41. | |
in Scotland, home to the fleet of submarines which carry the missiles. | :25:42. | :25:45. | |
There's intense political controversy about the government's | :25:46. | :25:47. | |
plans for renewing Trident, as our Scotland editor | :25:48. | :25:50. | |
Deep inside HMS Vigilant, the control room is the heart | :25:51. | :25:58. | |
The crew boast their vessel is more complex than the space shuttle. | :25:59. | :26:05. | |
But as you can see, the technology is not exactly cutting edge. | :26:06. | :26:11. | |
Designed back in the '80s, and it shows. | :26:12. | :26:14. | |
Four new subs need to be commissioned soon if they are to | :26:15. | :26:17. | |
Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn has suggested those vessels need not | :26:18. | :26:23. | |
carry nuclear weapons - an idea met with scorn here. | :26:24. | :26:27. | |
If this submarine did not have nuclear warheads it would not | :26:28. | :26:30. | |
So it wouldn't be at sea doing sea patrols. | :26:31. | :26:35. | |
Could you replace the nuclear warheads with some kind | :26:36. | :26:38. | |
of conventional weapon and then have it as an offensive capability? | :26:39. | :26:42. | |
There is no policy for that and I do not know what you would | :26:43. | :26:45. | |
Each sub can carry up to 16 Trident missiles, | :26:46. | :26:51. | |
This is what the UK's nuclear button looks like. | :26:52. | :26:58. | |
Wisely, they're not letting me hold the real one, | :26:59. | :27:01. | |
but if the Prime Minister ever were to give the order to fire, | :27:02. | :27:05. | |
it's from here, via a trigger just like this, that the Trident nuclear | :27:06. | :27:08. | |
Labour are reviewing their nuclear weapons policy and didn't | :27:09. | :27:13. | |
While the Defence Secretary Michael Fallon dropped in to visit Vigilant. | :27:14. | :27:20. | |
The nuclear deterrent has never been needed more than it is today. | :27:21. | :27:24. | |
It's quite wrong to hark back to the Cold War and say we didn't | :27:25. | :27:27. | |
use it then and we don't need it now. | :27:28. | :27:31. | |
In fact, we've never needed it more than we need it today. | :27:32. | :27:34. | |
All the nuclear subs are based at Faslane in Scotland, | :27:35. | :27:37. | |
where the political argument looks rather different. | :27:38. | :27:40. | |
Scottish Labour are opposed to renewing Trident and the SNP have | :27:41. | :27:43. | |
long wanted to get rid of all nuclear weapons. | :27:44. | :27:48. | |
Remember, if these nuclear weapons were used, we would wipe out swathes | :27:49. | :27:52. | |
of civilisation, but I also have a very practical objection. | :27:53. | :27:56. | |
You know, we see conventional defence forces starved of resources. | :27:57. | :27:59. | |
We've lost a significant number of frontline troops in recent years, | :28:00. | :28:04. | |
while the defence budget is skewed evermore towards | :28:05. | :28:07. | |
There has to be a parliamentary vote on Trident renewal | :28:08. | :28:13. | |
The government say they're confident of winning, | :28:14. | :28:17. | |
whatever Labour does, but won't say when that | :28:18. | :28:20. | |
The South African rhino is under increasing threat from poachers - | :28:21. | :28:29. | |
driven by growing demand for rhino horns from buyers in Asia. | :28:30. | :28:33. | |
In 2007, it's thought 13 rhinos were killed by poachers in South | :28:34. | :28:36. | |
By last year that number had risen sharply, to nearly 1200. | :28:37. | :28:42. | |
One rhino breeder has come up with somewhat controversial | :28:43. | :28:45. | |
solution, removing the horns himself, and selling them - | :28:46. | :28:48. | |
trying to put the poachers out of business - as our correspondent | :28:49. | :28:51. | |
Stalking the rhino - not to kill, but to save lives. | :28:52. | :29:00. | |
They're darted, sedated, then eased to the ground. | :29:01. | :29:03. | |
They are about to remove part of the valuable horn which poachers | :29:04. | :29:09. | |
are prepared to kill for, threatening to make | :29:10. | :29:11. | |
There is no nerve supply to the part of the horn we are trimming. | :29:12. | :29:22. | |
Now the ban on selling it locally has been lifted in South Africa. | :29:23. | :29:32. | |
Demand may be limited here, but it's a first step to global | :29:33. | :29:35. | |
trade, and this is the man who has pushed for it. | :29:36. | :29:38. | |
We are supplying that demand with dead rhino. | :29:39. | :29:42. | |
We could very easily supply that demand from live rhino. | :29:43. | :29:47. | |
Are you a businessman or a conservationist first? | :29:48. | :29:49. | |
The fact that I have bred 750 rhinos, does that make me | :29:50. | :29:54. | |
But his critics fear relaxing the rules in South Africa won't stop | :29:55. | :30:01. | |
those preying on these creatures, because of a huge demand for rhino | :30:02. | :30:05. | |
There's no proposal on the table that shows if there is any legal | :30:06. | :30:11. | |
trade at all how it's going to be controlled, | :30:12. | :30:14. | |
how we will stop that legal horn going into the illegal markets. | :30:15. | :30:19. | |
We see the situation in Vietnam is very serious. | :30:20. | :30:21. | |
The rhino horn has ended up in China. | :30:22. | :30:24. | |
Those countries at the moment are not controlling their illegal | :30:25. | :30:27. | |
Once the rhino horn is removed it will be added to a secret stockpile. | :30:28. | :30:36. | |
Security is so tight we can't even film that, | :30:37. | :30:38. | |
Just to give you some idea, one kilo of rhino horn on the black | :30:39. | :30:44. | |
market is worth about ?42,000, so you can understand why it's such | :30:45. | :30:47. | |
As the horn is weighed ready to be taken away, | :30:48. | :30:54. | |
one of the biggest debates in conservation rages on. | :30:55. | :30:59. | |
We'll have reaction to the Litvinenko enquirer tonight. George | :31:00. | :31:17. | |
