President Trump engages in a public feud with his own intelligence | :00:00. | :00:10. | |
agencies and accuses them of criminal behaviour. | :00:11. | :00:12. | |
He blames them for the resignation of his national security advisor | :00:13. | :00:16. | |
Mike Flynn, the man who admitted misleading colleagues | :00:17. | :00:18. | |
I think it's very, very unfair what's happened to General Flynn, | :00:19. | :00:24. | |
the way he was treated and the documents and papers | :00:25. | :00:30. | |
that were illegally, I stress that, illegally leaked. | :00:31. | :00:35. | |
We'll have the latest as the President also breaks | :00:36. | :00:37. | |
with diplomatic tradition in the search for peace | :00:38. | :00:39. | |
He tells the Israeli Prime Minister that establishing a Palestinian | :00:40. | :00:44. | |
state alongside Israel is no longer the only option that | :00:45. | :00:46. | |

Malaysia is asked to hand over the body of Kim Jong-nam, | :00:57. | :01:03. | |
the half-brother of the North Korean leader, who died of | :01:04. | :01:05. | |
Protests in the suburbs of Paris following the alleged rape | :01:06. | :01:13. | |

President Trump's public dispute with his own intelligence | :01:40. | :02:02. | |
He's accused them of breaking the law by leaking classified | :02:03. | :02:09. | |
information and he blamed them for the resignation of his national | :02:10. | :02:11. | |
Mr Flynn had admitted misleading colleagues about his contacts | :02:12. | :02:16. | |
The President is now under even greater scrutiny following claims | :02:17. | :02:23. | |
of repeated contacts between his team and | :02:24. | :02:25. | |
Russian officials during the election campaign. | :02:26. | :02:26. | |
Our North America editor, Jon Sopel, reports. | :02:27. | :02:28. | |
Not yet four weeks in, his travel ban's been blocked, | :02:29. | :02:32. | |
his national security adviser's been fired and the questions about his | :02:33. | :02:35. | |
And when the President is angry, the place he vents is on Twitter | :02:36. | :02:42. | |
and, boy, did he let rip this morning. | :02:43. | :02:46. | |
"This Russian connection nonsense is merely an attempt to cover up | :02:47. | :02:48. | |
the many mistakes made in Hillary Clinton's | :02:49. | :02:51. | |
The real scandal here is that classified information | :02:52. | :02:57. | |
is illegally given out by intelligence like candy. | :02:58. | :02:59. | |
And, on the reporting of this - "the fake news media is going crazy | :03:00. | :03:07. | |
with their conspiracy theorys and blind hatred." | :03:08. | :03:10. | |
The President of the United States and the Prime Minister of Israel. | :03:11. | :03:13. | |
At his news conference with the Israeli Prime Minister, | :03:14. | :03:17. | |
no mention of concerns about links with Russia and you'd never | :03:18. | :03:20. | |
have guessed that it was the President who'd forced | :03:21. | :03:22. | |
Michael Flynn, General Flynn, is a wonderful man. | :03:23. | :03:29. | |
I think's he's been treated very, very unfairly by the media. | :03:30. | :03:31. | |
As I call it, the fake media in many cases. | :03:32. | :03:35. | |
And I think it's really a sad thing that he was treated so badly. | :03:36. | :03:39. | |
I think, in addition to that, from intelligence, | :03:40. | :03:44. | |
papers are being leaked, things are being leaked. | :03:45. | :03:47. | |
But on Capitol Hill there's one central concern among senior | :03:48. | :04:01. | |
Republicans and Democrats, it's the administration's links | :04:02. | :04:03. | |
The base issue is getting to the bottom of what the Russian | :04:04. | :04:08. | |
interference was and what the relationship was with associates | :04:09. | :04:11. | |
of the Trump effort and so that is the big elephant | :04:12. | :04:16. | |
in the room that has got to be dealt with in the most appropriate way. | :04:17. | :04:19. | |
The American people need to understand, we need | :04:20. | :04:21. | |
to understand and it needs to be dealt with quickly. | :04:22. | :04:24. | |
On January 15th, the vice-President went on television to deny that | :04:25. | :04:30. | |
Russian sanctions had been discussed in those phone calls. | :04:31. | :04:34. | |
On January 26th, the acting Attorney General tells | :04:35. | :04:37. | |
That's when the President was informed. | :04:38. | :04:41. | |
But it wasn't until February 9th, when the story was about to break | :04:42. | :04:45. | |
in the press, that vice-President Mike Pence was told. | :04:46. | :04:47. | |
That means he was deliberately kept in the dark for over two weeks. | :04:48. | :04:50. | |
And this was his spokesman yesterday seeking to explain that discrepancy. | :04:51. | :05:02. | |
What he was asked specifically is, was he aware of | :05:03. | :05:05. | |
Of course he was involved, I just said that he was aware | :05:06. | :05:11. | |
of the situation right after the White House council | :05:12. | :05:13. | |
It's hard to avoid the conclusion that this | :05:14. | :05:16. | |
is an administration that is reeling. | :05:17. | :05:18. | |
Just take Donald Trump's controversial travel ban. | :05:19. | :05:20. | |
He announced at the end of last week there'd be a new executive order | :05:21. | :05:23. | |
It's now Wednesday, there's been nothing. | :05:24. | :05:29. | |
Work is not getting done because of the turmoil. | :05:30. | :05:32. | |
As we've seen, the President has hosted a meeting at the White House | :05:33. | :05:42. | |
with the Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu. | :05:43. | :05:45. | |
Mr Trump seems to have cast aside two decades of American policy | :05:46. | :05:48. | |
in the Middle East by suggesting that the creation of a new | :05:49. | :05:51. | |
Palestinian state alongside Israel, the so-called two-state solution, | :05:52. | :05:54. | |
is no longer the only peace plan under consideration by America. | :05:55. | :05:57. | |
Our Middle East editor, Jeremy Bowen, has more details. | :05:58. | :06:08. | |
When Mr and Mrs Netanyahu arrived at the White House there seemed to be | :06:09. | :06:15. | |
real warmth. Binyamin Netanyahu hopes so. He had a sour relationship | :06:16. | :06:18. | |
with Barack Obama and wants this visit to be a new start. Before he | :06:19. | :06:22. | |
was elected President, MrTrump seemed ready to give Israel a blank | :06:23. | :06:27. | |
cheque on the Palestinians. Binyamin Netanyahu authorised thousands more | :06:28. | :06:31. | |
homes for Jews in the occupied territories in defiance of | :06:32. | :06:35. | |
international law within days of MrTrump's inauguration. But now he | :06:36. | :06:39. | |
is in the White House the President has changed his tune. He sees | :06:40. | :06:44. | |
himself as America's greatest deal-maker and seems to believe he | :06:45. | :06:48. | |
can make the deal between Israel and the Palestinians that evaded the | :06:49. | :06:53. | |
last four American Presidents. But that, he said, means give and take. | :06:54. | :06:56. | |
As far as settlements, I'd like to see you hold back on settlements for | :06:57. | :07:01. | |
a little bit. We'll work something out. But I would like to see a deal | :07:02. | :07:05. | |
being made. I think a deal will be made. As with any successful | :07:06. | :07:11. | |
negotiation, both sides will have to make compromises. You know that, | :07:12. | :07:17. | |
right? Both sides. But in a Middle East that is often chaotic, Binyamin | :07:18. | :07:22. | |
Netanyahu sees opportunities. For the first time in my lifetime, and | :07:23. | :07:28. | |
for the first time in the life of my country, Arab countries in the | :07:29. | :07:35. | |
region do not see Israel as an enemy, but increasingly as an ally. | :07:36. | :07:40. | |
And that's because Israel and the Arab states in the Gulf have a | :07:41. | :07:46. | |
common enemy. It's Iran. It it is seen as a big threat in the region. | :07:47. | :07:51. | |
But other Arab countries of the Gulf are also suspicious of the Iranians. | :07:52. | :07:57. | |
Prompting that talk of a broader regional deal. Now among these are | :07:58. | :08:04. | |
smaller nations, such as Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates and among | :08:05. | :08:07. | |
them crucially is Iran's main regional rival, Saudi Arabia. | :08:08. | :08:18. | |
Israel has settled 600,000 Jews on a shared land. | :08:19. | :08:29. | |
Israeli right-wingers do not like President Trump's call to stop | :08:30. | :08:34. | |
expanding settlements. They prefer his backing away from a two-state | :08:35. | :08:39. | |
solution an independent Palestine alongside Israel. Many people on the | :08:40. | :08:44. | |
ground believe the likeliest outcome is no solution at all. Jeremy Bowen, | :08:45. | :08:46. | |
BBC News. President Trump's new Defence | :08:47. | :08:50. | |
Secretary, James Mattis, has warned members of Nato that | :08:51. | :08:53. | |
America could "moderate" its commitment to the alliance | :08:54. | :08:56. | |
if they fail to boost defence General Mattis, speaking | :08:57. | :08:58. | |
in Brussels, insisted that Nato was the "fundamental bedrock" | :08:59. | :09:04. | |
of co-operation and security and he claimed Mr Trump was a strong | :09:05. | :09:08. | |
supporter as our defence correspondent, | :09:09. | :09:11. | |
Jonathan Beale, reports. After years of fighting | :09:12. | :09:15. | |
in deserts, the US Marine After years of fighting in deserts, | :09:16. | :09:20. | |
the US Marine Corps We joined them in Norway | :09:21. | :09:22. | |
learning how to survive All part of reassuring allies, | :09:23. | :09:25. | |
especially those like Norway, that share a border with a more assertive | :09:26. | :09:33. | |
Russia. But this defence co-operation | :09:34. | :09:35. | |
is far from guaranteed. With President Trump having | :09:36. | :09:39. | |
questioned Nato's relevance. European allies not spending enough | :09:40. | :09:45. | |
is an issue where you are from, some people say it's obsolete, | :09:46. | :09:48. | |
what's your view of Nato? I think Nato has a great | :09:49. | :09:55. | |
partnership with us. We are here today because Nato has | :09:56. | :09:57. | |
asked us to be part of that. We are part of Nato, Nato is part | :09:58. | :10:01. | |
of us and we're working together. Today, the new US Defence Secretary, | :10:02. | :10:05. | |
himself a former marine, arrived at Nato's headquarters to restate | :10:06. | :10:08. | |
that commitment but it It's a fair demand that | :10:09. | :10:10. | |
all who benefit from the best defence in the world | :10:11. | :10:13. | |
carry their proportionate share of the necessary | :10:14. | :10:15. | |
cost to defend freedom. In private, General Mattis was even | :10:16. | :10:22. | |
more blunt giving his allies He told them the US would moderate | :10:23. | :10:24. | |
its commitment to Nato unless they set out plans | :10:25. | :10:30. | |
to increase their defence spending America's defence budget | :10:31. | :10:32. | |
dwarfs its European allies. The US, one of only five Nato | :10:33. | :10:44. | |
countries including the UK, that meets the alliance's own target | :10:45. | :10:49. | |
of spending 2% of GDP The vast majority of Nato countries | :10:50. | :10:52. | |
are still well below that goal. Even though they all made | :10:53. | :10:56. | |
a commitment two years ago Secretary Mattis made it very clear | :10:57. | :10:59. | |
speaking to the Nato alliance today that the patience of the American | :11:00. | :11:03. | |
taxpayer is now at an end. We do need to step up. | :11:04. | :11:18. | |
General Mattis has not said what will happen if they don't. This | :11:19. | :11:24. | |
isn't the first warning. But under President Trump allies cannot take | :11:25. | :11:26. | |
this kind of defence support for granted. | :11:27. | :11:29. | |
Jonathan Beale, BBC News. Live to Washington and our | :11:30. | :11:34. | |
North America editor, Jon Sopel. What is your sense of the kind of | :11:35. | :11:43. | |
scrutiny this administration is now under tonight? I am sure there are | :11:44. | :11:47. | |
times when Donald Trump sits in that famous house and thinks I am the | :11:48. | :11:51. | |
most powerle man in the world, the King of all I survey. And there are | :11:52. | :11:57. | |
other times when he thinks I am besieged on all sides, I have | :11:58. | :12:00. | |
quarrelling within the White House, I have Government departments that | :12:01. | :12:03. | |
are opposing me, I have got agencies that are leaking against me, I have | :12:04. | :12:08. | |
a hostile press, it all feels pretty unfriendly, I can't get anything | :12:09. | :12:13. | |
done. Certainly the transition from campaigning to governing is proving | :12:14. | :12:17. | |
far more difficult than he probably imagined. I have seen some | :12:18. | :12:20. | |
commentators saying he is not going to last four years, he will be | :12:21. | :12:23. | |
impeached, this is going to end in tears. I think that is a wildly | :12:24. | :12:28. | |
premature, because the basic maths haven't changed. He has a republican | :12:29. | :12:34. | |
House, a republican Senate. He can govern, but hasn't got off to a very | :12:35. | :12:41. | |
rocky start, you bet it has. It seems there could be more turbulence | :12:42. | :12:43. | |
to come. Thank you very much. The ruling body of the Church | :12:44. | :12:49. | |
of England, the General Synod, has in effect rejected | :12:50. | :12:51. | |
a controversial report which insisted that marriage | :12:52. | :12:54. | |
in Church can only be between a man The report had been produced | :12:55. | :12:57. | |
by the House of Bishops and the Archbishop of Canterbury had | :12:58. | :13:01. | |
appealed for it to be approved as a way of continuing the debate | :13:02. | :13:05. | |
on sexuality and same-sex marriage. Our religious affairs correspondent, | :13:06. | :13:08. | |
Martin Bashir, reports. In the house of clergy, | :13:09. | :13:16. | |
93 in favour, 100 against, with two And with that, General Synod | :13:17. | :13:20. | |
delivered a devastating blow to three years of deliberation | :13:21. | :13:26. | |
on the issue of same-sex marriage. The debate itself, | :13:27. | :13:30. | |
which lasted more than two hours, contained passionate | :13:31. | :13:40. | |
and sometimes painful disclosures on Outside of these walls | :13:41. | :13:42. | |
we are being heard as Its purpose was not to please | :13:43. | :13:50. | |
everyone, but rather to give a steer to the way | :13:51. | :13:56. | |
we order our lives as God's people. Please do not vote | :13:57. | :13:59. | |
for this measure, we Your LGBT sisters and brothers | :14:00. | :14:01. | |
deserve better, both here in the church | :14:02. | :14:08. | |
and in the country. All sexual expression outside | :14:09. | :14:10. | |
the lifelong and permanent union of one man and | :14:11. | :14:14. | |
one woman is sinful. Lesbian and Gay Christians who held | :14:15. | :14:25. | |
an all day vigil outside Church House broke into song as news | :14:26. | :14:28. | |
of the results filtered through. I think what we've seen is | :14:29. | :14:31. | |
a breakthrough of understanding of love and people coming together, | :14:32. | :14:34. | |
really understanding the LGBT Just before the debate, | :14:35. | :14:36. | |
Archbishop Justin Welby held a private meeting at this church | :14:37. | :14:44. | |
in an attempt to persuade members But he was ignored and so | :14:45. | :14:47. | |
were his fellow bishops. The fact the Synod has chosen not | :14:48. | :14:53. | |
to take note of the report means, effectively, that the last three | :14:54. | :14:57. | |
years work is now rendered null and What certainly is happening | :14:58. | :15:00. | |
is the report we have just presented will not be considered | :15:01. | :15:05. | |
again as a report in these five But the process of shared | :15:06. | :15:08. | |
conversation which has been such a good process of listening and mutual | :15:09. | :15:15. | |
understanding will continue. And so after three | :15:16. | :15:19. | |
years of discussions, and passionate debate, | :15:20. | :15:21. | |
and a personal plea from the Archbishop of Canterbury, | :15:22. | :15:26. | |
the General Synod has It is an embarrassment for the House | :15:27. | :15:28. | |

celebrating the 75th anniversary of his father's birth, | :17:49. | :17:55. | |
but away from the pomp and the pagentry, a tale | :17:56. | :18:05. | |
of murder and mystery. This man, Kim Jong-nam, | :18:06. | :18:07. | |
is the North Korean leader's exiled older half-brother, | :18:08. | :18:10. | |
he's believed to have been murdered Between the hours of 9.00am | :18:11. | :18:12. | |

in line to take over until he fell out of favour and spent several | :18:50. | :18:52. | |
years overseas in exile. It's not clear why or even if Kim | :18:53. | :18:57. | |
Jong-nam was murdered and while South Korea says | :18:58. | :19:01. | |
it was definitely Pyongyang that ordered the hit, | :19:02. | :19:03. | |
it could also have been a disgruntled business partner, | :19:04. | :19:08. | |

morning in Pyongyang, the two half-brothers | :19:24. | :19:26. | |
didn't really get on. You will find some people who will | :19:27. | :19:29. | |
tell you they never actually met. North Korea has yet to comment | :19:30. | :19:37. | |
on the murder, but Embassy officials spent hours at | :19:38. | :19:40. | |
the hospital, reportedly objecting to a post-mortem examination that | :19:41. | :19:44. | |
could determine how he died. They've also requested that the body | :19:45. | :19:46. | |
is released to them right away, Karishma Vaswani, BBC | :19:47. | :19:47. | |
News, Kuala Lumpur. The Prime Minister has been | :19:48. | :19:56. | |
campaigning in Cumbria today ahead of next week's parliamentary | :19:57. | :19:56. | |
by-election in Copeland. Theresa May's visit is being | :19:57. | :20:02. | |
seen by some as rather has been held by Labour for the best | :20:03. | :20:05. | |
part of a century. Our political correspondent, | :20:06. | :20:10. | |
Ben Wright, was there, he sent this report, which contains | :20:11. | :20:13. | |
some flash photography. The Tories election machine | :20:14. | :20:14. | |
is on the move, with a visit that Theresa May's dash to Copeland - | :20:15. | :20:17. | |
a Labour-held seat for over 80 years - proves the Prime Minister thinks | :20:18. | :20:21. | |
the Conservatives can win it next week, and she tried to reassure | :20:22. | :20:25. | |
voters a new nuclear power station, planned for the constituency | :20:26. | :20:29. | |
at Moorside, would be built. It's the Conservatives | :20:30. | :20:31. | |
who are committed to the nuclear We've agreed the first new nuclear | :20:32. | :20:33. | |
build in a generation, We recognise and Trudy Harrison, | :20:34. | :20:40. | |
our candidate here in Copeland, has made very clear to me | :20:41. | :20:46. | |
the importance of Moorside and the importance of | :20:47. | :20:48. | |
the nuclear industry. This Cumbrian constituency relies | :20:49. | :20:51. | |
on the nuclear industry for jobs, That's one reason Labour might | :20:52. | :20:54. | |
struggle to keep this seat because Jeremy Corbyn has | :20:55. | :21:01. | |
spent his career sounding pretty So it's just about the | :21:02. | :21:03. | |
importance of the hospital. So Labour's campaign focus | :21:04. | :21:07. | |
is on the local NHS. We are having a threat of vital | :21:08. | :21:11. | |
services being taken away from our hospital, | :21:12. | :21:14. | |
relocated into Carlisle, But is Jeremy Corbyn | :21:15. | :21:15. | |
a hindrance to your campaign? He's got a muddled message | :21:16. | :21:22. | |
on nuclear energy, does he speak to communities | :21:23. | :21:24. | |
like this in Copeland? Look, I'm behind the nuclear | :21:25. | :21:26. | |
industry, no ifs, no buts. Close to Sellafield is Seascale, | :21:27. | :21:28. | |
Jeremy Corbyn has said he backs the new plant, | :21:29. | :21:32. | |
and it seems he needs to. I don't think he's pro-nuclear, | :21:33. | :21:35. | |
in spite of everything he says, It'll all comes down to the power | :21:36. | :21:38. | |
station at Moorside, Does the nuclear issue sort of shape | :21:39. | :21:46. | |
everyone's politics around here? It is, particularly the Moorside | :21:47. | :21:52. | |
at the moment, the way it's going on about it, | :21:53. | :21:55. | |
it is bothering people, but it is the life and the soul | :21:56. | :21:59. | |
of the place, isn't it, you know? Labour's majority of 2,500 could be | :22:00. | :22:02. | |
squeezed by smaller parties, too. I'm a maths teacher, | :22:03. | :22:06. | |
I've done the numbers. Labour have moved to the left, | :22:07. | :22:08. | |
the Tories have moved to the right and there is a substantial vote | :22:09. | :22:11. | |
in the middle from people who are looking for a pragmatic MP | :22:12. | :22:13. | |
who talks about the real world. And it's a seat that voted | :22:14. | :22:17. | |
strongly for Brexit. We would abolish HS2 | :22:18. | :22:22. | |
for a start off, it's not We want to press to leave the EU | :22:23. | :22:25. | |
because the sooner we do, the more we'll have more money | :22:26. | :22:29. | |
for investment locally. I wonder if Jeremy Corbyn | :22:30. | :22:31. | |
will come again? This vast constituency covers | :22:32. | :22:34. | |
a swathe of the Lake District and there's one party with a very | :22:35. | :22:36. | |
distinctive nuclear message. We're obviously trying | :22:37. | :22:40. | |
to promote something else, all the other candidates are pro | :22:41. | :22:42. | |
the new nuclear power plant. We think it's time to try to bring | :22:43. | :22:44. | |
other businesses to Copeland and to bring something that's | :22:45. | :22:47. | |
going to benefit everyone here. Theresa May's visit to Copeland | :22:48. | :22:50. | |
is a confident, if risky move, But that would be a coup | :22:51. | :22:53. | |
for the Conservatives because a governing party hasn't | :22:54. | :22:57. | |
gained a parliamentary seat For Labour, the result will be seen | :22:58. | :22:59. | |
as a crucial test of the party's leadership and message, | :23:00. | :23:07. | |
in a part of northern England that Here is a full list of candidates | :23:08. | :23:09. | |

which takes place a week tomorrow. You can also find out more | :23:24. | :23:28. | |
by visiting the BBC News website. The list is there too, plus | :23:29. | :23:40. | |
background and analysis. Take a look at that. | :23:41. | :23:44. | |
Hundreds of people have taken to the streets of Paris this evening | :23:45. | :23:47. | |
to show their support for a black youth worker who claims he was raped | :23:48. | :23:51. | |
There's been growing tension in some of the city's suburbs since the | :23:52. | :23:56. | |
22-year-old was arrested and allegedly assaulted a fortnight ago. | :23:57. | :23:58. | |
One police officer has been charged with rape and three | :23:59. | :24:00. | |
But as Lucy Williamson reports from Paris, the President's appeal | :24:01. | :24:04. | |
Anger is spreading along France's urban veins. | :24:05. | :24:13. | |
Tonight, chants of "Police, rapists, murderers" rung out just | :24:14. | :24:15. | |
The power of individuals, their community, the state. | :24:16. | :24:25. | |
France has been living with it for years, but in the last fortnight | :24:26. | :24:36. | |
the story of Theo's assault, in a rundown Paris | :24:37. | :24:38. | |
There are long-standing divisions rising to the surface here. | :24:39. | :24:41. | |
The deepest anger in these protests has come from different people | :24:42. | :24:44. | |
who say they feel ignored and left behind. | :24:45. | :24:46. | |
Who feel that the French establishment is remote | :24:47. | :24:48. | |
and those in power abusive, corrupt and self-serving. | :24:49. | :24:54. | |
Amateur footage of Theo's arrest shows him being taken to the car, | :24:55. | :24:57. | |
moments after allegedly being raped with a police baton. | :24:58. | :25:10. | |
The police watchdog last week described it as a serious accident, | :25:11. | :25:12. | |
TRANSLATION: I haven't been able to sleep for the past five nights. | :25:13. | :25:16. | |
The medication they give me isn't enough. | :25:17. | :25:18. | |
They brought him here behind the wall because it's out | :25:19. | :25:37. | |
The names of other young men who died while being chased | :25:38. | :25:44. | |
or arrested in the suburbs north of Paris are repeated like a mantra | :25:45. | :25:46. | |
They don't want us to express in any shape or form of protest, OK? | :25:47. | :25:59. | |
It's not like they're here to protect us. | :26:00. | :26:08. | |
Over the past two weeks, the protests have grown, | :26:09. | :26:17. | |
This is no longer a case of one man, in one Paris suburb. | :26:18. | :26:23. | |
It's a reminder of France's deep divisions, and a test of the trust | :26:24. | :26:26. | |
Professional footballers who repeatedly head the ball | :26:27. | :26:37. | |
during their career could be more prone to long-term brain damage. | :26:38. | :26:40. | |
That's according to a new study which looked at the brains of six | :26:41. | :26:46. | |
former players all known for their skills at heading the ball. | :26:47. | :26:48. | |
They all developed a form of dementia in later | :26:49. | :26:51. | |
The Football Association has welcomed the research. | :26:52. | :26:53. | |
Our health editor, Hugh Pym, has been looking at the findings. | :26:54. | :26:56. | |
Jeff Astle's heading ability was well-known, | :26:57. | :27:01. | |
but he couldn't have imagined the long-term consequences. | :27:02. | :27:04. | |
The West Brom and England footballer developed | :27:05. | :27:07. | |
dementia and died in 2002, at the age of 59. | :27:08. | :27:10. | |
A coroner said he had an industrial disease. | :27:11. | :27:14. | |
In other words, heading a ball made a significant contribution | :27:15. | :27:16. | |
Since then, Jeff Astle's family have campaigned for more research | :27:17. | :27:24. | |
on the impact of heading heavy, often waterlogged | :27:25. | :27:29. | |
I knew the day Jeff was diagnosed because why else would a man, | :27:30. | :27:34. | |
you know, physically fit, only 55, suddenly overnight, | :27:35. | :27:39. | |
virtually, it came on so rapidly, be diagnosed with dementia? | :27:40. | :27:46. | |
The Astle family was told at the time by the football | :27:47. | :27:49. | |
authorities that a research programme had been started, | :27:50. | :27:52. | |
but it was dropped because of technical flaws. | :27:53. | :27:54. | |
Now, 15 years on, they're angry that nothing more has been done. | :27:55. | :27:58. | |
For too long, it's been about protecting the product | :27:59. | :28:03. | |
of football and what it should be doing is protecting its players | :28:04. | :28:06. | |
and I think they're terrified that if the results come out and it's | :28:07. | :28:09. | |
shown that football could be a killer. | :28:10. | :28:13. | |
The new study examined the brains of six former players | :28:14. | :28:16. | |
who'd developed dementia, seen here in these images. | :28:17. | :28:18. | |
Four had chronic traumatic encephalopathy, also seen | :28:19. | :28:21. | |
The Football Association, based here at Wembley, | :28:22. | :28:28. | |
which covers England, said it took concerns about head | :28:29. | :28:30. | |
It said it was committed to supporting further research | :28:31. | :28:35. | |
which had to be seen to be independent, robust and thorough. | :28:36. | :28:37. | |
So what does it mean for the current generation of players and is it safe | :28:38. | :28:44. | |
The study authors make clear they're not drawing any conclusions. | :28:45. | :28:49. | |
I think the risks in heading the football are likely to be quite | :28:50. | :28:52. | |
low and I think that we need to engage with more research | :28:53. | :28:55. | |
into finding out ways of making the game safer but, | :28:56. | :28:58. | |
overall, we think playing football is a safe thing to do. | :28:59. | :29:05. | |
But with children under 11 in the United States banned | :29:06. | :29:07. | |
from heading a ball in practice, there's an ongoing debate | :29:08. | :29:10. | |
about modern football and head injuries as well as the game | :29:11. | :29:12. | |
Arsenal look almost certain to be knocked out of the Champions League | :29:13. | :29:24. | |
after they were heavily beaten in Germany this evening. | :29:25. | :29:27. | |
Despite scoring an away goal in tonight's first leg, | :29:28. | :29:31. | |
Arsene Wenger's side fell apart in the second half, eventually | :29:32. | :29:33. | |
Our correspondent, David Ornstein, was watching the match. | :29:34. | :29:43. | |
For Arsenal a familiar stage, 14 straight years | :29:44. | :29:44. | |
through to the Champions League knockout phase, but that is | :29:45. | :29:47. | |
For Arsene Wenger, would this be a final tilt at European glory? | :29:48. | :29:51. | |
The way his team started was ominous, allow Arjen Robben time | :29:52. | :29:54. | |
and space and witness the stunning result. | :29:55. | :29:56. | |
Arsenal barely had a kick in the opening half-hour until this | :29:57. | :29:58. | |
poorly timed kick gave them a life line. | :29:59. | :30:01. | |
Alexis Sanchez was denied from the spot, though | :30:02. | :30:03. | |
It was a precious away goal, but after half-time, | :30:04. | :30:14. | |
Robert Lewandowski rose to restore Bayern's lead and, | :30:15. | :30:17. | |
just three minutes later, Thiago raced clear to make it 3-1. | :30:18. | :30:20. | |
Thiago then added a fourth and the rout was completed | :30:21. | :30:22. | |
Arsenal's European campaign, once again, in tatters | :30:23. | :30:30. | |
and Arsene Wenger staring at a potentially defining defeat. | :30:31. | :30:32. | |
