Tonight at Ten - Russian forces are to be withdrawn from Syria. | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
President Putin says their mission has been accomplished. | :00:09. | :00:11. | |
For the past six months, Russian forces have been attacking | :00:12. | :00:14. | |
the enemies of President Bashar al-Assad, but now they say it's time | :00:15. | :00:17. | |
While the rest of the world was taken by surprise, | :00:18. | :00:23. | |
Russia said it had agreed the change with Syria over the past few weeks. | :00:24. | :00:28. | |
TRANSLATION: With the participation of the Russian military, | :00:29. | :00:31. | |
there has been a dramatic turnaround in the situation | :00:32. | :00:33. | |
in the fight against international terrorism. | :00:34. | :00:38. | |
We'll have the latest from the Syrian capital Damascus - | :00:39. | :00:40. | |
and we'll be reporting on the continued turbulence | :00:41. | :00:42. | |
In Germany, Chancellor Merkel says she will not close the door | :00:43. | :00:49. | |
on migrants, despite major losses for her party in regional elections. | :00:50. | :00:54. | |

Canon Rafa Benitez start his Newcastle career with a win. | :01:49. | :01:54. | |
President Putin of Russia has taken the international community | :01:55. | :01:58. | |
by surprise and ordered most of his forces to | :01:59. | :02:00. | |
Mr Putin said that the Russian military intervention - | :02:01. | :02:04. | |
which started last September - had largely achieved its objectives, | :02:05. | :02:06. | |
and now was the time to intensify the peace process. | :02:07. | :02:08. | |
American officials said they'd had no advance warning | :02:09. | :02:10. | |
Over the past six months, Russia has invested heavily | :02:11. | :02:17. | |
in its air and naval facilities, at Latakia and Tartus. | :02:18. | :02:20. | |
It's carried out thousands of air strikes across Syria, | :02:21. | :02:22. | |
taking significant territory from the enemies | :02:23. | :02:24. | |
Our chief international correspondent Lyse Doucet | :02:25. | :02:26. | |
is in the Syrian capital Damascus tonight. | :02:27. | :02:41. | |
The message from the President's office in Damascus in the last hour | :02:42. | :02:48. | |
is he moved by Russia was coordinated with the President's | :02:49. | :02:52. | |
office, and that it had been studied for some time. What seems equally | :02:53. | :02:56. | |
clear is that Moscow has been studying what has come out of | :02:57. | :03:00. | |
Damascus, including a stubborn refusal to even consider discussing | :03:01. | :03:05. | |
the future of President Assad, and also talk of a military solution in | :03:06. | :03:09. | |
this war. It's not what Moscow has in mind. | :03:10. | :03:14. | |
Russia's military intervention in Syria has changed the tide of this | :03:15. | :03:20. | |
war in President Assad's favour. When Moscow sent in its warplanes | :03:21. | :03:25. | |
and advanced weaponry last September, its ally was faltering on | :03:26. | :03:28. | |
key front lines. Then came this shock announcement. TRANSLATION: I | :03:29. | :03:36. | |
think that the task that was put before the Ministry of Defence and | :03:37. | :03:40. | |
the Armed Forces is largely complete. Therefore, I ordered the | :03:41. | :03:43. | |
Minister of defence, from tomorrow, to begin the withdrawal of the main | :03:44. | :03:49. | |
part of our military from the Syrian Arabic republic. Ever since Russia | :03:50. | :03:56. | |
intervened in Syria, its Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, has worked | :03:57. | :03:58. | |
closely with his American counterpart. But today, even the | :03:59. | :04:04. | |
White House seems to have been taken by surprise. I haven't seen those | :04:05. | :04:09. | |
specific reports. And what about President Assad, who is said to have | :04:10. | :04:16. | |
been informed? He made a surprise visit to Moscow last of Toba to see | :04:17. | :04:19. | |
the Russian leader, his only visit out of Syria since the war began | :04:20. | :04:24. | |
five years ago. A clear sign of who has the upper hand in a crucial | :04:25. | :04:31. | |
relationship. I think this is a bid for Russia to use its leveraged in | :04:32. | :04:36. | |
the Syria conflict to pressure Assad, as Russia has orally asked | :04:37. | :04:38. | |
him to be constructive in these peace talks to try to move the | :04:39. | :04:41. | |
political transition process forward. Russia didn't just throw | :04:42. | :04:48. | |
its weight on the battlefield, it also helped break a stubborn | :04:49. | :04:53. | |
diplomatic stalemate at the UN Security Council last December. And | :04:54. | :04:57. | |
it paved the way for the first major truce in this war, now in its third | :04:58. | :05:01. | |
week, and unexpectedly still holding. But this may be why this | :05:02. | :05:08. | |
announcement came today. Peace talks in Geneva, where the Syrian | :05:09. | :05:13. | |
government is taking a hard line. Too hard for Moscow. And the UN, | :05:14. | :05:18. | |
which sounded a warning. I don't know whether anyone else has a plan | :05:19. | :05:22. | |
B here, I am only aware of a planned a, which is giving the maximum | :05:23. | :05:30. | |
chances, and the maximum pressure by the international community, in | :05:31. | :05:36. | |
order to ensure that this type of Syrian talks and the cessation of | :05:37. | :05:40. | |
hostilities, and the humanitarian task force, is given the maximum | :05:41. | :05:47. | |
opportunity. Russia doesn't want another long war, another | :05:48. | :05:51. | |
Afghanistan. It will not pull out completely. But saying to its Syrian | :05:52. | :05:56. | |
ally, we expect you to sit down and negotiate a way out of this war. | :05:57. | :06:00. | |
Our Russia correspondent Steve Rozenberg is in Moscow. | :06:01. | :06:02. | |
Steve, you've recently been reporting on Russian military | :06:03. | :06:04. | |
operations in Syria - how do you read today's | :06:05. | :06:06. | |
It's quite a surprise. The last time I was at the Russian airbase in | :06:07. | :06:19. | |
Syria ten days ago, there was clearly less military activity than | :06:20. | :06:25. | |
I had seen on previous trips, less bombers and fighter jets taking off | :06:26. | :06:29. | |
than before, and we were told the Infosys was moving to diplomacy. We | :06:30. | :06:33. | |
were shown a peace and reconciliation Centre the army had | :06:34. | :06:36. | |
set up at the base but there were no hints the army were going to | :06:37. | :06:40. | |
announce a major troop withdrawal. It's clear the Russians didn't want | :06:41. | :06:43. | |
to get bogged down in a protracted military conflict. They did not want | :06:44. | :06:49. | |
a second Afghanistan. The Kremlin is calculating that with cessation of | :06:50. | :06:53. | |
hostilities in Syria, and with the peace process starting, this was the | :06:54. | :06:57. | |
time to scale back and bring back lots of troops and declare the | :06:58. | :07:01. | |
operation a success. One caveat, the numbers. We don't know how many | :07:02. | :07:05. | |
troops are coming back, and we do not know how many will remain at the | :07:06. | :07:09. | |
Russian airbase and the Russian naval facility, its only outlet to | :07:10. | :07:14. | |
the Mediterranean. The West has criticised Russia over Russia's | :07:15. | :07:18. | |
military campaign in Syria, accusing the Russians of targeting anyone | :07:19. | :07:26. | |
taking up arms against President Assad. But tonight Moscow is | :07:27. | :07:28. | |
declaring this operation a military, political and diplomatic success. | :07:29. | :07:33. | |
Syria's northern neighbour, Turkey, is having to grapple with a series | :07:34. | :07:35. | |
of challenges as a result of the Syrian conflict | :07:36. | :07:38. | |
and the impact it's having on the wider region. | :07:39. | :07:40. | |
Turkish fighter jets have today been attacking Kurdish targets | :07:41. | :07:42. | |
The Turks are blaming the banned Kurdistan Workers' Party | :07:43. | :07:46. | |
for yesterday's bomb attack in Ankara, which killed | :07:47. | :07:52. | |
Police have detained 11 people in connection with the bombing. | :07:53. | :07:56. | |
Our correspondent Ian Pannell sent this report from | :07:57. | :07:58. | |
Last night she was waiting for a bus home. | :07:59. | :08:06. | |
Another victim of the turmoil that is becoming too common here. | :08:07. | :08:21. | |
Students, teachers, parents, pensioners, friends and young | :08:22. | :08:32. | |
There is little to commemorate the dead. | :08:33. | :08:41. | |
Just small gestures of solidarity and defiance. | :08:42. | :08:45. | |
These students heard the explosion from their flat. | :08:46. | :08:48. | |
Tonight, the students stood defiant in the rain in remembrance. | :08:49. | :09:04. | |
All the people you see here, in pain, actually. | :09:05. | :09:09. | |
But they don't have the courage to show that, because after everything, | :09:10. | :09:12. | |
the government and stuff, so we came here and just | :09:13. | :09:15. | |
want to show respect to those people. | :09:16. | :09:20. | |
Turkey thinks Kurdish separatists carried out this attack. | :09:21. | :09:27. | |
Arrests have been made, warplanes dispatched, | :09:28. | :09:29. | |
but Ankara has many enemies in the region and there may be some | :09:30. | :09:33. | |
Hundreds of police have been deployed onto the streets | :09:34. | :09:37. | |
24 hours after the blast, officers are scouring the scene | :09:38. | :09:47. | |
for clues as they recover some of the debris. | :09:48. | :09:49. | |
Turkey's president has told the people not be afraid, | :09:50. | :09:51. | |
that terrorism will be brought to its knees. | :09:52. | :09:53. | |
But the truth is that people are afraid, and there is very little | :09:54. | :09:56. | |
evidence that Turkey is winning this war. | :09:57. | :09:58. | |
There have been too many moments like this in Turkey. | :09:59. | :10:00. | |
More than 200 have been killed in similar attacks | :10:01. | :10:03. | |
Kurdish militants, the Islamic State group, | :10:04. | :10:10. | |
The turmoil that used to rage beyond Turkey's borders now | :10:11. | :10:16. | |
So, once again, bereaved families huddled at the city morgue today. | :10:17. | :10:24. | |
United in grief and desperate for answers, as people wonder | :10:25. | :10:30. | |
if their government can really protect them as it promised. | :10:31. | :10:40. | |
Our Middle East editor Jeremy Bowen is with me now. | :10:41. | :10:48. | |
We are talking today about attacks in Syria, Turkey, and it shows what | :10:49. | :10:57. | |
a competent multilayered problem this is. We have to think of Syria | :10:58. | :11:06. | |
as a mini world war. Some of the world's biggest powers involved, as | :11:07. | :11:08. | |
well as regional friends and enemies. Looking at what's going on | :11:09. | :11:12. | |
in Turkey, plenty of domestic reasons why this is happening, it's | :11:13. | :11:18. | |
a one of the major reasons of the fight with the Kurds is because of | :11:19. | :11:22. | |
the export of violence from Syria, and the politics over there | :11:23. | :11:25. | |
regarding various Kurdish groups. Moving on to Putin and Russia, he's | :11:26. | :11:30. | |
a geopolitical gambler. Looking at this again, he's won a view hands, | :11:31. | :11:37. | |
cashed in quite a future 's, and is still at the table. The West said it | :11:38. | :11:42. | |
was going to be a quagmire for him in Syria, but he has found a way of | :11:43. | :11:47. | |
declaring victory, and getting out and keeping his options open by | :11:48. | :11:51. | |
keeping forces there who can be revived if necessary. He is keeping | :11:52. | :11:54. | |
the West on the defensive, keeping them guessing. Another shrewd move | :11:55. | :11:59. | |
by him. As for the talks in Geneva, I think the intervention over six | :12:00. | :12:07. | |
months has strengthened Assad, changed the military balance and the | :12:08. | :12:12. | |
equilibria, meaning that the Syrian government side is going into those | :12:13. | :12:16. | |
talks as a much more empowered member of that. More awful scenes of | :12:17. | :12:24. | |
refugees also in the headlines, impacting on German politics as | :12:25. | :12:30. | |
well, Western leaders, used to think they might be able to contain or | :12:31. | :12:34. | |
ignore what's going on in Syria, but they can't. | :12:35. | :12:39. | |
The German chancellor, Angela Merkel, has insisted | :12:40. | :12:41. | |
she will not change her policy on allowing significant numbers | :12:42. | :12:43. | |
of migrants into the country, despite her party's losses | :12:44. | :12:45. | |
The anti-immigration party - Alternative for Germany - | :12:46. | :12:48. | |
won its first seats in the states that voted yesterday. | :12:49. | :12:51. | |
Germany accepted a record 1.1 million refugees last year. | :12:52. | :12:53. | |
Our Europe editor Katya Adler reports from Berlin. | :12:54. | :13:04. | |
Iron Angie is one of the German Chancellor's nicknames. | :13:05. | :13:07. | |
The migrant crisis has shown her mettle like never before. | :13:08. | :13:11. | |
Where there's a will, there's a way, she's insisted. | :13:12. | :13:13. | |
No border closures, no refugee limits for Germany - | :13:14. | :13:26. | |
a policy she's sticking to, despite rising public pressure, | :13:27. | :13:28. | |
reflected in yesterday's regional vote. | :13:29. | :13:29. | |
I believe the approach is right, she said in Berlin today, | :13:30. | :13:32. | |
TRANSLATION: Yesterday was a difficult day. | :13:33. | :13:40. | |
The dominating topic in the vote was refugees and the refugee policy, | :13:41. | :13:43. | |
and the fact that people believe this issue has not | :13:44. | :13:46. | |
But be careful about reading too much | :13:47. | :13:49. | |
Despite some of the doom-laden headlines you're probably coming | :13:50. | :13:59. | |
across, this was more stark warning than boot out of the door for Angela | :14:00. | :14:03. | |
She still enjoys popularity ratings at home other European | :14:04. | :14:06. | |
But many of her countrymen do feel she's out of touch | :14:07. | :14:10. | |
with fast-changing events here, the effect the arrival of a million | :14:11. | :14:13. | |
asylum seekers in Germany is having on their lives. | :14:14. | :14:17. | |
Enter the right-wing populist AFD Party, which plays on public | :14:18. | :14:19. | |
This is one of its campaign posters, demanding better safety for German | :14:20. | :14:27. | |
wives and daughters, a reference to New Year's Eve | :14:28. | :14:29. | |
The party secured a seat in all three state parliaments | :14:30. | :14:38. | |
yesterday, the best regional result of any German right-wing populist | :14:39. | :14:41. | |
Considering World War II sensitivities here, this led | :14:42. | :14:47. | |
Frauka Petry, the public face of the AFD, was on the defensive. | :14:48. | :14:54. | |
She told me the migration crisis wasn't caused by her party - | :14:55. | :14:57. | |
One idea of yours that made the headlines all over Europe | :14:58. | :15:05. | |
was the idea of the German army pointing their weapons at migrants | :15:06. | :15:07. | |
Which again, it would be helpful if one reads the original interview. | :15:08. | :15:13. | |
I cited German legislation, which, as a very last resort, | :15:14. | :15:18. | |
I said to use weapons if there's no other way. | :15:19. | :15:31. | |
The AFD is making a lot of noise in Germany at the moment, | :15:32. | :15:37. | |
but this is especially because yesterday's regional vote | :15:38. | :15:44. | |
is seen as significant ahead of a German general | :15:45. | :15:46. | |
So can Angela Merkel afford regional upsets in the long-running? | :15:47. | :15:50. | |
She obviously appears weakened, but she is not damaged | :15:51. | :15:57. | |
A canny political survivor, Chancellor Merkel knows Germans | :15:58. | :16:00. | |
appreciate predictability and continuity. | :16:01. | :16:02. | |
At home and in Europe, she will keep pushing migrant | :16:03. | :16:05. | |
politics her way, and hope for the best. | :16:06. | :16:17. | |
Angela Merkel has her fingers crossed this week ahead of the next | :16:18. | :16:23. | |
EU- Turkey summit, and she is the driving force behind a deal by which | :16:24. | :16:27. | |
Turkey would accept back all arriving migrants into the Greek | :16:28. | :16:31. | |
islands. She needs a deal to boost her credibility back home, but on | :16:32. | :16:35. | |
the European level, it's costing her dearly. Other EU leaders resent her | :16:36. | :16:40. | |
pushiness over the migrant crisis, as they did previously over the Euro | :16:41. | :16:44. | |
crisis. They also worry about Turkey's counter demands and its | :16:45. | :16:49. | |
shaky human rights record. Angela Merkel is confident she can bulldoze | :16:50. | :16:52. | |
the German populists, but she worries far more about growing | :16:53. | :17:00. | |
European disunity and her EU isolation. | :17:01. | :17:02. | |
Hundreds of migrants have left a camp in northern Greece, | :17:03. | :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. | :17:12. | |
had been detained by the police and army, | :17:13. | :17:14. | |
More than 10,000 people have been stranded at the camp at Idomeni | :17:15. | :17:20. | |
after several Balkan nations, including Macedonia, | :17:21. | :17:23. | |
But today hundreds made it out after crossing a river and finding | :17:24. | :17:29. | |
Our correspondent Danny Savage is there and sent this report. | :17:30. | :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. | :17:43. | |
woodlands of Greece, looking to slip across to Macedonia. | :17:44. | :17:47. | |
We are very scared, one of them tells us. | :17:48. | :17:51. | |
Other migrants today were much more bold. | :17:52. | :17:57. | |
With nothing to lose, they went on a march. | :17:58. | :17:59. | |
Thousands of people, walking towards a border | :18:00. | :18:01. | |
For weeks, they have been stuck in Greece. | :18:02. | :18:08. | |
They are aiming to get to Germany, but all the Balkan border gates | :18:09. | :18:11. | |
between here and there have slammed shut. | :18:12. | :18:15. | |
But they have got this far, and they are not giving up. | :18:16. | :18:18. | |
TRANSLATION: We are done with injustice, frustration | :18:19. | :18:31. | |
We still have some misery ahead of us today, but we will get there. | :18:32. | :18:38. | |
We are going to cross, no matter how. | :18:39. | :18:40. | |
The migrants are undeterred by the obstacles in their path. | :18:41. | :18:45. | |
At least three people drowned near here last night, | :18:46. | :18:47. | |
but they are prepared to take the risk. | :18:48. | :18:49. | |
Desperate people, doing dangerous things. | :18:50. | :18:51. | |
They have become disillusioned with the conditions | :18:52. | :18:53. | |
It turned into a swamp after days of rain. | :18:54. | :18:58. | |
Anywhere is better than this, they thought, which is why they set | :18:59. | :19:03. | |
And it wasn't a warm welcome either when many hundreds did eventually | :19:04. | :19:09. | |
Tonight, families camped out on the muddy path to Macedonia, | :19:10. | :19:19. | |
The philosophy of the people here is very simple. | :19:20. | :19:26. | |
They haven't spent all that money on a dangerous sea journey to get | :19:27. | :19:29. | |
They want to go forward and not retreat, and some of them have | :19:30. | :19:35. | |
told me they are prepared to walk to Germany if they have to. | :19:36. | :19:38. | |
It's exhausting trying to get where you want to. | :19:39. | :19:41. | |
Will the authorities make more of an effort to stop their progress | :19:42. | :19:44. | |
tomorrow, or will they still find a way? | :19:45. | :19:46. | |
Danny Savage, BBC News, northern Greece. | :19:47. | :19:56. | |
A Merseyside teenager, accused of murdering a police | :19:57. | :19:58. | |
officer by deliberately running him down during a high speed | :19:59. | :20:01. | |
chase, has been a cannabis user since the age of six, | :20:02. | :20:03. | |
according to evidence heard in court. | :20:04. | :20:05. | |
Clayton Williams, who's now 19, said he'd been smoking on the day | :20:06. | :20:07. | |
of PC Dave Phillips' death in Wallasey last October. | :20:08. | :20:10. | |
The family of PC Dave Phillips has already heard how the officer | :20:11. | :20:18. | |
was run over, and suffered a violent death. | :20:19. | :20:20. | |
they heard from the teenager accused of murder. | :20:21. | :20:24. | |
Clayton Williams told jurors he didn't see PC Phillips. | :20:25. | :20:27. | |
Clayton Williams admits burgling this shop | :20:28. | :20:41. | |
He reached speeds of 80 mph before he hit PC Phillips, | :20:42. | :20:44. | |
but says he can't remember exactly what happened | :20:45. | :20:46. | |
That, Clayton Williams said, was down to his cannabis habit. | :20:47. | :20:53. | |
He said he had been smoking it since he was six. | :20:54. | :20:56. | |
In court, Clayton Williams admitted he had already served | :20:57. | :21:03. | |
a prison sentence for crashing a car during a police chase. | :21:04. | :21:06. | |
He told the jurors he would do anything to avoid | :21:07. | :21:09. | |
In the dock, Clayton Williams was asked why he didn't stop | :21:10. | :21:13. | |
He said he panicked, and rang his grandmother. | :21:14. | :21:22. | |
He told jurors "I didn't intend to kill, | :21:23. | :21:38. | |
"I only wanted to rob a shop". | :21:39. | :21:40. | |
Ed Thomas, BBC News, Manchester Crown Court. | :21:41. | :21:45. | |
The former head of the civil service - Lord Kerslake - | :21:46. | :21:48. | |
says the government faces an "uphill task" to persuade people that | :21:49. | :21:51. | |
further cuts to public spending are needed. | :21:52. | :21:55. | |
Speaking ahead of Wednesday's budget, he said more savings had | :21:56. | :21:59. | |
to be made, but there were no easy ones left, | :22:00. | :22:02. | |
and warned that the Chancellor had "very narrow space for manoeuvre", | :22:03. | :22:05. | |
as our political editor Laura Kuenssberg reports. | :22:06. | :22:15. | |
Balancing the books doesn't turn politicians into rock stars. | :22:16. | :22:18. | |
But his Government's mission has always been sorting the economy out | :22:19. | :22:21. | |
Visiting a London girls' school today ahead of the Budget, | :22:22. | :22:26. | |
David Cameron appeared to have a lot of fans. | :22:27. | :22:30. | |
George Osborne promised he would fix the deficit in five years, | :22:31. | :22:35. | |
but at Budget after Budget, progress has been slow. | :22:36. | :22:39. | |
By 2015 he said we were heading out of the red and back into the black, | :22:40. | :22:43. | |
but paying off the costs of the crash we're only | :22:44. | :22:45. | |
When he's back out here on Wednesday, the tone | :22:46. | :22:50. | |
Don't expect much talk of sunshine because since the Chancellor's last | :22:51. | :22:57. | |
big day out, money worries in markets right round the world | :22:58. | :23:00. | |
have emerged so there's less cash flowing into government coffers. | :23:01. | :23:03. | |
So even after six years of cuts, he'll squeeze public spending again. | :23:04. | :23:16. | |
Lord Kerslake was the head of the civil service, | :23:17. | :23:18. | |
one of the most senior officials hunting for cuts in | :23:19. | :23:21. | |
I think the choices are quite difficult because the Chancellor | :23:22. | :23:26. | |
said he doesn't want to raise more taxes. | :23:27. | :23:32. | |
The obvious efficiency savings have come through, | :23:33. | :23:34. | |
period, and his choices around welfare reform now, | :23:35. | :23:37. | |
given what happened with the tax credits, I think are quite difficult | :23:38. | :23:41. | |
as well, so it's hard to see where the easy choices are now. | :23:42. | :23:45. | |
There are likely to be more cuts to welfare, possibly a rise in fuel | :23:46. | :23:51. | |
tax, and an expected extra ?4 billion of savings every | :23:52. | :23:54. | |
But even in Tory-controlled Kent, the leader of the council believes | :23:55. | :24:00. | |
Next year's Budget is going to be a really tough Budget | :24:01. | :24:06. | |
where we are having to dig into our reserves but it is going to be | :24:07. | :24:10. | |
Next year's Budget is going to be a really tough Budget | :24:11. | :24:17. | |
where we are having to dig into our reserves but it is going to be | :24:18. | :24:20. | |
The tank is now empty and we cannot take any more cuts | :24:21. | :24:24. | |
in the scale that we have endured over the last five years. | :24:25. | :24:27. | |
In some public services, the pressure to cut costs has | :24:28. | :24:29. | |
Paul is blind and has learning difficulties. | :24:30. | :24:33. | |
He used to get 20 hours of care a week. | :24:34. | :24:36. | |
As part of a trial in Kent, Paul was taught to order his weekly | :24:37. | :24:40. | |
shop online and he now receives only two hours of council help, | :24:41. | :24:42. | |
I set up an online shopping account with the supermarket and I practiced | :24:43. | :24:55. | |
Once I got better, I was able to do it on my own. | :24:56. | :25:07. | |
Tough times can present opportunities too, but with pressure | :25:08. | :25:13. | |
from the European referendum bearing down, George Osborne needs smart | :25:14. | :25:15. | |
Football now, and Leicester City are five points clear at the top of the | :25:16. | :25:30. | |
Barclays Premier League after beating Newcastle United 1-0 this | :25:31. | :25:35. | |
evening. Shinji Okazaki scored the only goal to move them further clear | :25:36. | :25:38. | |
of Tottenham Hotspur in the race for the title with eight matches left to | :25:39. | :25:42. | |
play. Newcastle lost their first game under new coach Rafa Benitez, | :25:43. | :25:44. | |
and they remain in the bottom three. Tyrannosaurus Rex - | :25:45. | :25:47. | |
one of the fiercest predators ever seen on Earth - dominated | :25:48. | :25:49. | |
the landscape around Until now, it's been unclear how | :25:50. | :25:51. | |
it evolved into such But a team from the University | :25:52. | :25:55. | |
of Edinburgh believes it's solved the mystery, with a new discovery | :25:56. | :25:59. | |
of one of T-Rex's smaller ancestors. Our science correspondent | :26:00. | :26:02. | |
Victoria Gill explains. There is an ever loose dream mystery | :26:03. | :26:32. | |
surrounding this prehistoric hunter. How did T Rex become such a giant? | :26:33. | :26:38. | |
-- there is an evolutionary mystery. That's what this small collection of | :26:39. | :26:42. | |
fossilised bones might finally have answered. We have a totally news | :26:43. | :26:46. | |
pieces of dinosaur, a meat-eating one, a tyrannosaurus one, and it | :26:47. | :26:52. | |
comes from Uzbekistan, about 90 million years old. It's only the | :26:53. | :26:56. | |
size of a horse but is one of the closest cousins of the T Rex and it | :26:57. | :27:01. | |
tells us how T Rex was able to become so big and dominant. The | :27:02. | :27:07. | |
relatively few bones the scientists found in Uzbekistan are key pieces | :27:08. | :27:11. | |
of an ancient skeletal jigsaw. They have allowed the team to reconstruct | :27:12. | :27:16. | |
this news PCs. Most revealing was a piece of the animal's 's. Scanning | :27:17. | :27:23. | |
and modelling this showed the dinosaur's brain was almost | :27:24. | :27:26. | |
identical to the T Rex. -- new species. -- the animal's skull. This | :27:27. | :27:40. | |
new species is 90 million years old, and it's the first time ran to date | :27:41. | :27:45. | |
to appoint in the fossil record that separates T Rex from its small | :27:46. | :27:49. | |
ancestors. It finally pins down the point at which these livestock sized | :27:50. | :27:53. | |
carnivores began to evolve, to eventually become these 12 metre | :27:54. | :28:00. | |
long monsters. T Rex was far bigger and more terrifying than its | :28:01. | :28:06. | |
predecessors. But in the story of tyrannosaur evolution, the brain | :28:07. | :28:07. | |
came before the brawn. The distinguished composer and | :28:08. | :28:13. | |
conductor Sir Peter Maxwell Davies He had been suffering | :28:14. | :28:15. | |
from leukaemia. Sir Peter, widely regarded | :28:16. | :28:18. | |
as a radical, pioneering figure, also held the post of Master | :28:19. | :28:21. | |
of the Queen's Music for a decade. Last month, he was awarded the Royal | :28:22. | :28:25. | |
Philharmonic Society Gold Medal, the highest accolade | :28:26. | :28:27. | |
the society can bestow, as our arts editor | :28:28. | :28:30. | |
Will Gompertz reports. in rehearsals for his newly | :28:31. | :28:34. | |
written 10th Symphony. Max, as he was known to all, | :28:35. | :28:48. | |
was a prolific composer who believed passionately in the power | :28:49. | :28:52. | |
and purpose of his art. These days, when there is so much | :28:53. | :28:57. | |
strife, so much war and so much | :28:58. | :29:00. | |
destruction, to do something and I hope in result, | :29:01. | :29:05. | |
at the top end of what is possible in a civilisation, | :29:06. | :29:13. | |
what a privilege, eh? The young Maxwell Davies | :29:14. | :29:16. | |
was regarded as an enfant terrible an avant-garde composer accused | :29:17. | :29:25. | |
of writing incomprehensible pieces. A lot of people have | :29:26. | :29:33. | |
criticised me for writing music I take for granted that what I write | :29:34. | :29:36. | |
has got a meaning. I think a composer should be able | :29:37. | :29:45. | |
to take that for granted, otherwise he should not be | :29:46. | :29:48. | |
in the business at all. determined and uncompromising | :29:49. | :29:52. | |
within. Peter Maxwell Davies | :29:53. | :29:58. | |
went his own idiosyncratic way, ironic, highly influential | :29:59. | :30:02. | |
Eight Songs For A Mad King. His taste for anarchy turned | :30:03. | :30:13. | |
into admiration for the monarchy... It's a great pleasure to be able | :30:14. | :30:15. | |
to give you that. ..After the Queen honoured him | :30:16. | :30:18. | |
by making him her Master of Music. I think we were all a bit blindsided | :30:19. | :30:25. | |
by the fact that he had accepted it, He was an astonishingly | :30:26. | :30:30. | |
wide-ranging composer and musician. He was very clear about | :30:31. | :30:34. | |
what he believed in, and he believed in good things, | :30:35. | :30:37. | |
particularly education, with a very democratic | :30:38. | :30:40. | |
view of music. In 1971, the Salford-born composer | :30:41. | :30:43. | |
moved to the Orkney Islands, which became his home | :30:44. | :30:48. | |
and inspiration. I think the sea has played | :30:49. | :30:52. | |
an enormous part in my work, first of all in the sound of it, | :30:53. | :30:55. | |
but then the history of it. And it gets through to you, | :30:56. | :30:58. | |
you don't have to think about it, Sir Peter Maxwell Davies had | :30:59. | :31:01. | |
been ill for some time, but he never | :31:02. | :31:05. | |
stopped working or maintaining that music can make the world | :31:06. | :31:07. | |
a better place. It was a point he spent | :31:08. | :31:09. | |
his life proving. Sir Peter Maxwell Davies, | :31:10. | :31:15. | |
who's died today at the age of 81. Like many things Russian - | :31:16. | :31:21. | |
