Tonight at Ten: Russian forces are to be withdrawn | :00:07. | :00:08. | |
President Putin says their mission has been accomplished. | :00:09. | :00:11. | |
For the past six months, they've been attacking | :00:12. | :00:13. | |
the enemies of President Bashar al-Assad but now they say it's time | :00:14. | :00:16. | |
While the rest of the world was taken by surprise, | :00:17. | :00:21. | |
had agreed the change with Syria over the past few weeks. | :00:22. | :00:27. | |
TRANSLATION: With the participation of the Russian military, | :00:28. | :00:29. | |
there has been a dramatic turnaround in the situation | :00:30. | :00:31. | |
in the fight against international terrorism. | :00:32. | :00:37. | |
We'll have the latest from the Syrian capital, | :00:38. | :00:39. | |
Damascus, and we'll be reporting on the continued turbulence | :00:40. | :00:41. | |
In Germany, Chancellor Merkel says she will not close the door | :00:42. | :00:51. | |
on migrants despite major losses for her party in regional elections. | :00:52. | :00:54. | |
Hundreds of migrants leave a camp in northern Greece, wading | :00:55. | :00:59. | |

From rebel to master of the Queen's music, the composer | :01:08. | :01:09. | |
Sir Peter Maxwell-Davies has died at the age of 81. | :01:10. | :01:12. | |
And the mysterious evolution of T-Rex - we report on a great leap | :01:13. | :01:15. | |
And coming up in Sportsday on BBC News, can Leicester | :01:16. | :01:23. | |
extend their lead at the top of the Premier | :01:24. | :01:25. | |
Or will Rafa Benitez start his tenure at Newcastle United | :01:26. | :01:29. | |
President Putin of Russia has taken the international community | :01:30. | :01:56. | |
by surprise and ordered most of his forces to | :01:57. | :01:58. | |
Mr Putin said that the Russian military intervention, | :01:59. | :02:01. | |
which started last September, had largely achieved its objectives | :02:02. | :02:06. | |
and now was the time to intensify the peace process. | :02:07. | :02:09. | |
American officials said they'd had no advance warning | :02:10. | :02:11. | |
Over the past six months, Russia has invested heavily | :02:12. | :02:16. | |
in its air and naval facilities at Latakia and Tartus. | :02:17. | :02:21. | |
It's carried out thousands of air strikes across Syria, | :02:22. | :02:23. | |
taking significant territory from the enemies of President Basha | :02:24. | :02:25. | |
Our chief international correspondent Lyse Doucet | :02:26. | :02:31. | |
is in the Syrian capital Damascus tonight. | :02:32. | :02:42. | |
The message from the president's office here in Damascus in the last | :02:43. | :02:49. | |
hour is that the move by Russia was coordinated with the President's | :02:50. | :02:54. | |
office and that it had been studied for some time. | :02:55. | :02:55. | |
It seems equally clear Moscow has been studying what has been coming | :02:56. | :03:02. | |
out of Damascus including a refusal to consider discussing the future of | :03:03. | :03:07. | |
President Assad and also talk of a military solution in this war. It is | :03:08. | :03:14. | |
not what Moscow has in mind. Russia's military intervention has | :03:15. | :03:21. | |
changed the tide of the war in President Assad's favour. When | :03:22. | :03:26. | |
Moscow sent its planes last September its ally was faltering on | :03:27. | :03:30. | |
key lines, then came the shock announcement. TRANSLATION: I think | :03:31. | :03:38. | |
the task that was put before the Minister of defence and the Armed | :03:39. | :03:41. | |
Forces is largely complete, therefore I order the minister of | :03:42. | :03:47. | |
defence from tomorrow to begin the withdrawal of the main part of our | :03:48. | :03:50. | |
military from the Syrian Arabic republic. Ever since Russia | :03:51. | :03:57. | |
intervened in Syria its Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has worked | :03:58. | :04:01. | |
closely with his American counterpart. But today even the | :04:02. | :04:06. | |
White House seems to have been taken by surprise. I haven't seen those | :04:07. | :04:11. | |
specific reports... And what about President Assad, who is said to have | :04:12. | :04:15. | |
been informed? He made a surprise visit to Moscow last October to see | :04:16. | :04:20. | |
Russia's leader, his only visit out of Syria since the war began five | :04:21. | :04:25. | |
years ago. A clear sign of who has the upper hand in a crucial | :04:26. | :04:30. | |
relationship. I think this is a bid for Russia to use its leverage | :04:31. | :04:34. | |
essentially in the Syria conflict to pressure Bashar al-Assad as Russia | :04:35. | :04:39. | |
has already asked him to be constructive in these peace talks to | :04:40. | :04:44. | |
move the political transition process forward. Russia didn't just | :04:45. | :04:48. | |
throw its weight on the battlefield, it also helped break a stubborn | :04:49. | :04:54. | |
diplomatic stalemate at the UN Security Council last December and | :04:55. | :04:57. | |
had paved the way for the first major truce in this war. Now in its | :04:58. | :05:02. | |
third week, and unexpectedly still holding. But this may be why this | :05:03. | :05:09. | |
announcement came today. Peace talks in Geneva, where the Syrian | :05:10. | :05:13. | |
government is taking a hard line, too hard for Moscow, and the UN, | :05:14. | :05:19. | |
which sounded a warning. I don't know whether anyone else has a plan | :05:20. | :05:28. | |
B here, I'm only aware of a plan A which is giving the maximum chances | :05:29. | :05:33. | |
and the maximum pressure by the international community in order to | :05:34. | :05:40. | |
ensure this type of talks and cessation of hostilities and | :05:41. | :05:45. | |
humanitarian task force is given the maximum opportunity. Russia doesn't | :05:46. | :05:49. | |
want another long war, another Afghanistan. It won't pull out | :05:50. | :05:54. | |
completely, but it is seen to it Syrian ally we expect you to sit | :05:55. | :05:59. | |
down and negotiate a way out of this war. | :06:00. | :06:04. | |
Our Russia correspondent Steve Rozenberg is in Moscow. | :06:05. | :06:06. | |
Steve, you've recently been reporting on Russian military | :06:07. | :06:08. | |
operations in Syria - how do you read today's | :06:09. | :06:10. | |
It is quite a surprise. The last time I was at the Russian airbase in | :06:11. | :06:21. | |
Syria ten days ago there was clearly less military activity than I have | :06:22. | :06:25. | |
seen on previous trips. There were still bombers and fighter jets, and | :06:26. | :06:32. | |
we were told the emphasis was moving toward diplomacy. There was no hint | :06:33. | :06:37. | |
that the Kremlin would announce a major troop withdrawal, so why now? | :06:38. | :06:41. | |
It is clear the Russians didn't want to get bogged down in a protracted | :06:42. | :06:47. | |
military conflict, they didn't want a second Afghanistan. I think the | :06:48. | :06:52. | |
Kremlin is calculating that now with the peace process starting, that | :06:53. | :06:56. | |
this was the time they could scale back, bring back lots of troops and | :06:57. | :07:01. | |
declare this operation a success. One caveat, the numbers. We don't | :07:02. | :07:04. | |
know how many troops are coming back and how many will be remaining at | :07:05. | :07:09. | |
the Russian airbase and the Russian naval facility, its only outlet to | :07:10. | :07:15. | |
the Mediterranean. The west has criticised Russia over Russia's | :07:16. | :07:18. | |
military campaign in Syria, accusing the Russians of targeting anyone | :07:19. | :07:23. | |
taking up arms against President Assad, but tonight Moscow is | :07:24. | :07:27. | |
declaring this operation and monetary, political and diplomatic | :07:28. | :07:28. | |
success. Thank you. Syria's northern neighbour, Turkey, | :07:29. | :07:33. | |
is having to grapple with a series of challenges as a result | :07:34. | :07:36. | |
of the Syrian conflict and the impact it's having | :07:37. | :07:38. | |
on the wider region. Turkish fighter jets have today been | :07:39. | :07:40. | |
attacking Kurdish targets The Turks are blaming the banned | :07:41. | :07:42. | |
Kurdistan Workers' Party for yesterday's bomb attack | :07:43. | :07:48. | |
in Ankara, which killed Police have detained 11 people | :07:49. | :07:50. | |
in connection with the bombing. Our correspondent Ian Pannell | :07:51. | :07:55. | |
sent this report from Last night, she was waiting | :07:56. | :07:57. | |
for a bus home. Another young life wiped out, | :07:58. | :08:08. | |
another victim of the turmoil Students, parents, pensioners, | :08:09. | :08:21. | |
friends and young lovers, There is little to commemorate | :08:22. | :08:34. | |
the dead, just small gestures These two heard the explosion | :08:35. | :08:46. | |
from their flat. Tonight, the students stood defiant | :08:47. | :08:50. | |
in the rain in remembrance. In my heart, it's | :08:51. | :08:54. | |
just pain, because... All the people you see | :08:55. | :08:59. | |
here are in pain, actually. But they don't have the courage | :09:00. | :09:02. | |
to show that because of everything, So we came here just to show respect | :09:03. | :09:05. | |
to the people. Turkey thinks Kurdish separatists | :09:06. | :09:16. | |
carried out this attack. Arrests have been made, | :09:17. | :09:23. | |
warplanes dispatched. But Ankara has many enemies | :09:24. | :09:27. | |
in the region, and there may be some Hundreds of police have been | :09:28. | :09:30. | |
deployed onto the streets officers are scouring the scene | :09:31. | :09:35. | |
still for clues as they recover Turkey's president has told | :09:36. | :09:43. | |
people not to be afraid, that terrorism will be | :09:44. | :09:46. | |
brought to its knees. But the truth is that people | :09:47. | :09:48. | |
are afraid, and there is little evidence that Turkey | :09:49. | :09:51. | |
is winning this war. There have been too many moments | :09:52. | :09:57. | |
like this in Turkey. More than 200 have been | :09:58. | :09:59. | |
killed in similar attacks Kurdish militants, | :10:00. | :10:01. | |
the Islamic State group, The turmoil that used to rage | :10:02. | :10:09. | |
beyond Turkey's borders now threatens this | :10:10. | :10:16. | |
once-stable country. So once again, bereaved families | :10:17. | :10:22. | |
huddled at the city morgue today. united in grief and desperate | :10:23. | :10:25. | |
for answers, as people wonder if their government can really | :10:26. | :10:29. | |
protect them as promised. Our Middle East editor | :10:30. | :10:34. | |
Jeremy Bowen is with me now. We are reporting today on events in | :10:35. | :10:54. | |
Iraq, Syria and Turkey, and it shows what a complex crisis this is. It is | :10:55. | :11:00. | |
complex, and a good way of thinking about Syria is to think of it as a | :11:01. | :11:05. | |
mini world war. Its friends and regional enemies are involved in it, | :11:06. | :11:10. | |
and also some of the world powers. In Turkey there are plenty of | :11:11. | :11:14. | |
domestic reasons for what is happening, but I think the major | :11:15. | :11:18. | |
reason for the revival of the fight with the Kurds is the export of | :11:19. | :11:22. | |
violence from Syria and the politics of the conflict over there regarding | :11:23. | :11:28. | |
various Kurdish groups. If you move on to Putin, he is a geopolitical | :11:29. | :11:34. | |
gambler. If you look at this again, he has won a few hands, cashed in | :11:35. | :11:39. | |
quite a few chips but he is still at the table. The west said this would | :11:40. | :11:43. | |
be a quagmire for him in Syria but he's found a way of declaring | :11:44. | :11:48. | |
victory and getting out whilst keeping his options open whilst | :11:49. | :11:52. | |
keeping forces there which could be revived if necessary. He is keeping | :11:53. | :11:57. | |
the west on the defensive, another shrewd move by him. As for the talks | :11:58. | :12:03. | |
in Geneva, the intervention I think has strengthened Bashar al-Assad, it | :12:04. | :12:10. | |
has changed the military balance, the equilibria there, and it means | :12:11. | :12:14. | |
the Syrian government side is going into those talks as much more | :12:15. | :12:23. | |
empowered of that. So, as we saw in the headlines, more awful | :12:24. | :12:25. | |
scenes of refugees, impacts on German politics as well, Western | :12:26. | :12:28. | |
leaders used to think you might be able to contain or ignore what is | :12:29. | :12:35. | |
going on in Syria but you cannot. Thank you. | :12:36. | :12:41. | |
The German Chancellor, Angela Merkel, has insisted | :12:42. | :12:43. | |
she will not change her policy on allowing significant numbers | :12:44. | :12:45. | |
of migrants into the country despite her party's losses | :12:46. | :12:47. | |
The anti-immigration party 'Alternative for Germany' | :12:48. | :12:50. | |
won its first seats in the states that voted yesterday. | :12:51. | :12:53. | |
Germany accepted a record 1.1 million refugees last year. | :12:54. | :12:55. | |
Our Europe editor Katya Adler reports from Berlin. | :12:56. | :13:01. | |
Iron Angie is one of the German Chancellor's nicknames. | :13:02. | :13:06. | |
The migrant crisis has shown her mettle like never before. | :13:07. | :13:10. | |
Where there's a will, there's a way, she's insisted. | :13:11. | :13:13. | |
No border closures, no refugee limits for Germany - | :13:14. | :13:19. | |
a policy she's sticking to, despite rising public pressure, | :13:20. | :13:21. | |
reflected in yesterday's regional vote. | :13:22. | :13:28. | |
I believe the approach is right, she said in Berlin today, | :13:29. | :13:31. | |
TRANSLATION: Yesterday was a difficult day. | :13:32. | :13:37. | |
The dominating topic in the vote was refugees and the refugee policy, | :13:38. | :13:40. | |
and the fact that people believe this issue has not | :13:41. | :13:42. | |
But be careful about reading too much | :13:43. | :13:49. | |
Despite some of the doom-laden headlines you're probably coming | :13:50. | :13:53. | |
across, this was more stark warning than boot out of the door | :13:54. | :13:55. | |
She still enjoys popularity ratings at home | :13:56. | :13:59. | |
other European leaders would dream of. | :14:00. | :14:04. | |
But many of her countrymen do feel | :14:05. | :14:05. | |
she's out of touch with fast-changing events here, | :14:06. | :14:07. | |
the effect the arrival of a million asylum seekers in Germany is having | :14:08. | :14:10. | |
Enter the right-wing populist AFD Party, | :14:11. | :14:16. | |
which plays on public fears of refugees. | :14:17. | :14:21. | |
This is one of its campaign posters, demanding better safety | :14:22. | :14:24. | |
a reference to New Year's Eve attacks here linked to migrants. | :14:25. | :14:32. | |
in all three state parliaments yesterday, | :14:33. | :14:35. | |
the best regional result of any German right-wing populist party | :14:36. | :14:37. | |
Considering World War II sensitivities here, | :14:38. | :14:44. | |
Frauka Petry, the public face of the AFD, was on the defensive. | :14:45. | :14:53. | |
She told me the migration crisis wasn't caused by her party - | :14:54. | :14:56. | |
One idea of yours that made the headlines all over Europe | :14:57. | :15:02. | |
was the idea of the German army pointing their weapons at migrants | :15:03. | :15:05. | |
Which again, it would be helpful if one reads the original interview. | :15:06. | :15:17. | |
I cited German legislation, which, as a very last resort, | :15:18. | :15:21. | |
I said to use weapons if there's no other way. | :15:22. | :15:30. | |
The AFD is making a lot of noise in Germany at the moment, | :15:31. | :15:33. | |
but this is especially because yesterday's regional vote | :15:34. | :15:35. | |
is seen as significant ahead of a German general election | :15:36. | :15:37. | |
So can Angela Merkel afford regional upsets in the long run? | :15:38. | :15:47. | |
She obviously appears weakened, | :15:48. | :15:50. | |
but she is not damaged beyond repair. | :15:51. | :15:56. | |
A canny political survivor, Chancellor Merkel knows Germans | :15:57. | :15:58. | |
appreciate predictability and continuity. | :15:59. | :16:02. | |
At home and in Europe, she'll keep pushing migrant | :16:03. | :16:04. | |
politics her way, and hope for the best. | :16:05. | :16:16. | |
And Angela Merkel has her fingers crossed this week ahead of the next | :16:17. | :16:22. | |
EU- Turkey summit. She is the driving force behind a deal by which | :16:23. | :16:25. | |
Turkey would agree to accept back all migrants arriving on the Greek | :16:26. | :16:29. | |
islands from that moment on. She needs the deal to boost her | :16:30. | :16:33. | |
credibility back home. But on a European level, it is costing her | :16:34. | :16:37. | |
dearly. Other EU leaders resent her pushiness over the migrant crisis, | :16:38. | :16:41. | |
as they did previously over the euro crisis. They also worry about | :16:42. | :16:46. | |
Turkey's counter demands and its shaky human rights record. Angela | :16:47. | :16:50. | |
Merkel is confident that she can bulldoze German populists. She | :16:51. | :16:54. | |
worries more about growing European disunity, and her growing EU | :16:55. | :16:59. | |
isolation. Katya Adler thank you. | :17:00. | :17:01. | |
Hundreds of migrants have left a camp in northern Greece, | :17:02. | :17:05. | |
wading through a river to avoid a border fence | :17:06. | :17:07. | |
The Macedonian authorities said those who crossed into the country | :17:08. | :17:13. | |
had been detained by the police and army and would be sent back. | :17:14. | :17:16. | |
More than 10,000 people have been stranded at the camp at Idomeni, | :17:17. | :17:20. | |
after several Balkan nations including Macedonia introduced | :17:21. | :17:23. | |
But today hundreds made it out after crossing a river and finding | :17:24. | :17:28. | |
Our correspondent Danny Savage is there and sent this report. | :17:29. | :17:36. | |
This is the consequence of Europe's borders closing down. | :17:37. | :17:39. | |
Tonight, we found these families trekking through the frontier | :17:40. | :17:42. | |
woodlands of Greece, looking to slip across to Macedonia. | :17:43. | :17:47. | |
We are very scared, one of them tells us. | :17:48. | :17:49. | |
Other migrants today were much more bold. | :17:50. | :17:53. | |
With nothing to lose, they went on a march. | :17:54. | :17:56. | |
Thousands of people, walking towards a border | :17:57. | :17:59. | |
For weeks, they have been stuck in Greece. | :18:00. | :18:05. | |
They are aiming to get to Germany, but all the Balkan border gates | :18:06. | :18:09. | |
between here and there have slammed shut. | :18:10. | :18:12. | |
They have got this far, and they are not giving up. | :18:13. | :18:15. | |
TRANSLATION: We are done with injustice, frustration | :18:16. | :18:23. | |
We still have some misery ahead of us today, but we will get there. | :18:24. | :18:28. | |
We are going to cross, no matter how. | :18:29. | :18:31. | |
The migrants are undeterred by the obstacles in their path. | :18:32. | :18:41. | |
At least three people drowned near here last night, | :18:42. | :18:44. | |
but they are prepared to take the risk. | :18:45. | :18:46. | |
Desperate people, doing dangerous things. | :18:47. | :18:51. | |
They have become disillusioned with the conditions | :18:52. | :18:53. | |
It turned into a swamp after days of rain. | :18:54. | :18:57. | |
Anywhere is better than this, they thought, which is why they set | :18:58. | :19:02. | |
And it wasn't a warm welcome either when many hundreds did eventually | :19:03. | :19:07. | |
They were rounded up and detained, their ambitions on hold once again. | :19:08. | :19:16. | |
Tonight, families camped out on the muddy path to Macedonia, | :19:17. | :19:19. | |
The philosophy of the people here is very simple. | :19:20. | :19:24. | |
They haven't spent all that money on a dangerous sea journey to get | :19:25. | :19:28. | |
They want to go forward and not retreat, and some of them have | :19:29. | :19:33. | |
told me they are prepared to walk to Germany if they have to. | :19:34. | :19:37. | |
It's exhausting trying to get where you want to. | :19:38. | :19:40. | |
Will the authorities make more of an effort to stop | :19:41. | :19:42. | |
their progress tomorrow, or will they still find a way? | :19:43. | :19:45. | |

A Merseyside teenager accused of murdering a police officer | :19:53. | :19:56. | |
by deliberately running him down during a high speed chase has been | :19:57. | :19:59. | |
a cannabis user since the age of six, according to evidence | :20:00. | :20:02. | |
Clayton Williams, who's now 19, said he'd been smoking on the day | :20:03. | :20:06. | |
of PC Dave Phillips' death in Wallasey last October. | :20:07. | :20:08. | |
The family of PC Dave Phillips has already heard how the officer | :20:09. | :20:17. | |
was run over, and suffered a violent death. | :20:18. | :20:21. | |
they heard from the teenager accused of murder. | :20:22. | :20:26. | |
Clayton Williams told jurors he didn't see PC Phillips. | :20:27. | :20:29. | |
Clayton Williams admits burgling this shop | :20:30. | :20:42. | |
He reached speeds of 80 mph before he hit PC Phillips, | :20:43. | :20:47. | |
but says he can't remember exactly what happened | :20:48. | :20:50. | |
That, Clayton Williams said, was down to his cannabis habit. | :20:51. | :20:56. | |
He said he had been smoking it since he was six. | :20:57. | :20:59. | |
In court, Clayton Williams admitted he had already served | :21:00. | :21:04. | |
a prison sentence for crashing a car during a police chase. | :21:05. | :21:08. | |
He told the jurors he would do anything to avoid | :21:09. | :21:11. | |
In the dock, Clayton Williams was asked why he didn't stop | :21:12. | :21:15. | |
He said he panicked, and rang his grandmother. | :21:16. | :21:24. | |
He told jurors "I didn't intend to kill, | :21:25. | :21:38. | |
"I only wanted to rob a shop". | :21:39. | :21:40. | |
Ed Thomas, BBC News, Manchester Crown Court. | :21:41. | :21:52. | |
The former head of the civil service as the government faces an uphill | :21:53. | :21:57. | |
task to persuade people that further cuts to public services are needed. | :21:58. | :22:02. | |
Speaking ahead of Wednesday's Budget, he said more savings had | :22:03. | :22:05. | |
to be made but there were no easy ones left, and warned | :22:06. | :22:08. | |
that the Chancellor had 'very narrow space for manoeuvre', | :22:09. | :22:10. | |
as our political editor Laura Kuenssberg reports. | :22:11. | :22:11. | |
Balancing the books doesn't turn politicians into rock stars. | :22:12. | :22:17. | |
But his Government's mission has always been sorting the economy out | :22:18. | :22:19. | |
Visiting a London girls' school today ahead of the Budget, | :22:20. | :22:26. | |
David Cameron appeared to have a lot of fans. | :22:27. | :22:31. | |
George Osborne promised he would fix the deficit in five years, | :22:32. | :22:35. | |
but at Budget after Budget, progress has been slow. | :22:36. | :22:40. | |
By 2015, he said we were heading out of the red and back into the black, | :22:41. | :22:46. | |
but paying off the costs of the crash? | :22:47. | :22:48. | |
We're only around halfway through. | :22:49. | :22:50. | |
When he's back out here on Wednesday, the tone | :22:51. | :22:52. | |
Don't expect much talk of sunshine, because since the Chancellor's | :22:53. | :22:56. | |
last big day out, money worries | :22:57. | :22:57. | |
have emerged, so there's less cash flowing into government coffers. | :22:58. | :23:03. | |
So even after six years of cuts, he'll squeeze public spending again. | :23:04. | :23:15. | |
Lord Kerslake was the head of the civil service, | :23:16. | :23:17. | |
one of the most senior officials hunting for cuts in | :23:18. | :23:19. | |
I think the choice is quite difficult, because the Chancellor | :23:20. | :23:23. | |
said he doesn't want to raise more taxes. | :23:24. | :23:28. | |
The obvious efficiency savings have come through, | :23:29. | :23:30. | |
I guess, in the early period, and his choices | :23:31. | :23:34. | |
given what happened with the tax credits, I think are quite difficult | :23:35. | :23:42. | |
as well, so it's hard to see where the easy choices are now. | :23:43. | :23:45. | |
There are likely to be more cuts to welfare, possibly a rise in fuel | :23:46. | :23:50. | |
tax, and an expected extra ?4 billion of savings | :23:51. | :23:53. | |
But even in Tory-controlled Kent, the leader of the council believes | :23:54. | :23:58. | |
Next year's Budget is going to be a really tough Budget | :23:59. | :24:07. | |
where we are having to dig into our reserves, | :24:08. | :24:10. | |
but it is going to be extraordinarily tough. | :24:11. | :24:12. | |
The tank is now empty and we cannot take any more cuts | :24:13. | :24:15. | |
in the scale that we have endured over the last five years. | :24:16. | :24:21. | |
In some public services, the pressure to cut costs has | :24:22. | :24:23. | |
Paul is blind and has learning difficulties. | :24:24. | :24:30. | |
He used to get 20 hours of care a week. | :24:31. | :24:33. | |
As part of the trial in Kent, Paul was taught to order his weekly | :24:34. | :24:37. | |
shop online and he now receives only two hours of council help, | :24:38. | :24:40. | |
I set up an online shopping account with the supermarket and I practised | :24:41. | :24:56. | |
Once I got better, I was able to do it on my own. | :24:57. | :25:06. | |
Tough times can present opportunities too, but with pressure | :25:07. | :25:10. | |
from the European referendum bearing down, George Osborne needs smart | :25:11. | :25:14. | |

Tyrannosaurus Rex, one of the fiercest predators ever seen | :25:44. | :25:47. | |
on Earth, dominated the landscape around 66 million years ago. | :25:48. | :25:52. | |
Until now, it's been unclear how it evolved into such | :25:53. | :25:54. | |
But a team from the University of Edinburgh believes it's solved | :25:55. | :25:59. | |
the mystery, with a new discovery of one of T-Rex's smaller ancestors. | :26:00. | :26:01. | |
Our science correspondent Victoria Gill explains. | :26:02. | :26:10. | |
Infamously fierce. Tyrannosaurus rex was one of the largest meat-eating | :26:11. | :26:25. | |
dinosaurs ever to have lived. But there is another louche and in | :26:26. | :26:28. | |
mystery surrounding this prehistoric hunter. How did the Rex become such | :26:29. | :26:34. | |
a giant -- and abolition in mystery. That is a question that this small | :26:35. | :26:39. | |
collection of fossilised bones might finally have answered. We have to | :26:40. | :26:45. | |
clean new species of dinosaur, and it is a meat eating dinosaur, a | :26:46. | :26:51. | |
tyrannosaur dinosaur. It comes from Uzbekistan, about 90 million years | :26:52. | :26:55. | |
old, and is only the size of a horse, but is one of the closest | :26:56. | :26:59. | |
cousins of T-Rex. And it tells us about how T-Rex was able to become | :27:00. | :27:06. | |
so big, so dominant. The relatively few bones the scientists found in | :27:07. | :27:10. | |
Uzbekistan are key pieces of an ancient skeletal jigsaw. They have | :27:11. | :27:14. | |
allowed the team to reconstruct this new species. Most revealing was a | :27:15. | :27:19. | |
piece of the animal's skull. Scanning and modelling this revealed | :27:20. | :27:24. | |
that the dinosaur's brain was almost identical to T-Rex's. That suggests | :27:25. | :27:29. | |
it had developed the sensory capabilities that made tyrannosaurs | :27:30. | :27:32. | |
such excellent hunters, and that was a key step in allowing them to | :27:33. | :27:39. | |
become so large. It is 90 million years old. It is the first | :27:40. | :27:44. | |
tyrannosaur debate in the fossil record that separates T-Rex from its | :27:45. | :27:47. | |
much smaller ancestors. That finally pins down the point at which these | :27:48. | :27:52. | |
livestock sized carnivores began to evolve to eventually become these 12 | :27:53. | :28:01. | |
metre long monsters. T-Rex was far bigger and more terrifying than its | :28:02. | :28:06. | |
predecessors. But in the story of tyrannosaur abolition, the brain | :28:07. | :28:10. | |
came before the Braun. Victoria Gill, BBC News. | :28:11. | :28:13. | |
The distinguished composer and conductor Sir Peter Maxwell Davies | :28:14. | :28:15. | |
He had been suffering from leukaemia. | :28:16. | :28:19. | |
Sir Peter, widely regarded as a radical, pioneering figure, | :28:20. | :28:21. | |
also held the post of Master of the Queen's Music for a decade. | :28:22. | :28:24. | |
Last month, he was awarded the Royal Philharmonic Society Gold Medal, | :28:25. | :28:27. | |
the highest accolade the society can bestow, | :28:28. | :28:30. | |
as our arts editor Will Gompertz reports. | :28:31. | :28:34. | |
in rehearsals for his newly written 10th Symphony. | :28:35. | :28:48. | |
Max, as he was known to all, was a prolific composer who believed | :28:49. | :28:51. | |
passionately in the power and purpose of his art. | :28:52. | :28:55. | |
These days, when there is so much strife, so much war | :28:56. | :28:59. | |
and so much destruction, to do something | :29:00. | :29:05. | |
and I hope in result, at the top end of what is possible | :29:06. | :29:12. | |
in a civilisation, what a privilege, eh? | :29:13. | :29:16. | |
The young Maxwell Davies was regarded as an enfant terrible | :29:17. | :29:24. | |
an avant-garde composer accused of writing incomprehensible pieces. | :29:25. | :29:32. | |
A lot of people have criticised me for writing music | :29:33. | :29:35. | |
I take for granted that what I write has got a meaning. | :29:36. | :29:44. | |
I think a composer should be able to take that for granted, | :29:45. | :29:47. | |
otherwise he should not be in the business at all. | :29:48. | :29:52. | |
determined and uncompromising within. | :29:53. | :29:58. | |
Peter Maxwell Davies went his own idiosyncratic way, | :29:59. | :30:03. | |
ironic, highly influential Eight Songs For A mad King. | :30:04. | :30:14. | |
His taste for anarchy turned into admiration for the monarchy... | :30:15. | :30:17. | |
It's a great pleasure to be able to give you that. | :30:18. | :30:20. | |
..After the Queen honoured him by making him her Master of Music. | :30:21. | :30:24. | |
I think we were all a bit blindsided by the fact that he had accepted it, | :30:25. | :30:28. | |
He was an astonishingly wide-ranging composer and musician. | :30:29. | :30:33. | |
He was very clear about what he believed in, | :30:34. | :30:36. | |
and he believed in good things, particularly education, | :30:37. | :30:40. | |
with a very democratic view of music. | :30:41. | :30:43. | |
In 1971, the Salford-born composer moved to the Orkney Islands, | :30:44. | :30:47. | |
which became his home and inspiration. | :30:48. | :30:50. | |
I think the sea has played an enormous part in my work, | :30:51. | :30:53. | |
first of all in the sound of it, but then the history of it. | :30:54. | :30:57. | |
And it gets through to you, you don't have to think about it, | :30:58. | :31:00. | |
Sir Peter Maxwell Davies had been ill for some time, | :31:01. | :31:04. | |
but he never stopped working or maintaining | :31:05. | :31:06. | |
that music can make the world a better place. | :31:07. | :31:09. | |
It was a point he spent his life proving. | :31:10. | :31:13. | |
Sir Peter Maxwell Davies, who's died today at the age of 81. | :31:14. | :31:20. | |
