career in television. Sir Terry Wogan has been called

:01:38.:01:39.

a 'broadcasting legend' today after his death was

:01:40.:01:42.

announced by his family. In his years with the BBC,

:01:43.:01:43.

he had his own TV chat show, his own Radio 2 show,

he was the voice of the Eurovision Song Contest and the face

was there on offer, great. Terry Wogan - warm, witty,

:02:23.:02:34.

never lost for a word. A chapter of broadcasting

:02:35.:02:38.

history is over. He is a warm, generous person

:02:39.:02:44.

and he was able to express that He was natural, but he had

:02:45.:02:49.

the right temperament to be He was a charming, warm, generous,

:03:26.:03:31.

of a West Brit. When I was growing up in Limerick,

:03:32.:03:33.

I didn't listen to Irish radio, I used to listen to

the live programme. The Goon shows, Take it

:03:37.:03:38.

From Here, all those things. So I suppose in a way,

:03:39.:03:41.

I had more in common with British radio and television

:03:42.:03:44.

than I had with Irish. He was one of the original line-up

:03:54.:04:00.

than Terry Wogan. And I think that's why people feel

:04:01.:04:02.

upset and genuinely shocked today, because they feel as though

:04:03.:04:04.

they've lost a friend. And for some, it really is the loss

again in February. Have a happy Christmas

and thank you. Sir Terry was famous for his close

:06:12.:06:18.

relationship with his audience, particularly his ardent Radio 2

:06:19.:06:24.

fans, known as TOGs - When he retired from Radio 2,

:06:25.:06:27.

he paid tribute to them and said how Our special correspondent,

are Terry's Old Geezers and Gals. And, as you know, they have

:06:43.:06:46.

a life of their own now. Yes, how do you know

:06:47.:06:51.

if you're a TOG? Well, you're asleep,

:06:52.:06:56.

but others worry that you're dead. The end of your tie doesn't come

:06:57.:06:58.

anywhere near the top Terry even got some

:06:59.:07:04.

of his TOGs together. He had to wait a little

:07:05.:07:13.

while to make sure that we were going to stay together,

:07:14.:07:20.

and then he was quite happy after that to say he took the credit

:07:21.:07:23.

for us being together. And it felt like it was

:07:24.:07:26.

part of a big family. He always made you feel

:07:27.:07:30.

like you were the one You know, it was just

:07:31.:07:32.

a single person almost. In that way, I think everybody felt

:07:45.:07:59.

husband Andrew and in the course of the evening, I said to him,

:08:00.:08:03.

I need to confess something to you. I 'Wake up with Wogan'

:08:04.:08:11.

in the morning. And he looked at me and said,

:08:12.:08:13.

that's OK, so do I! That we'd found young

the most of his chance. # All together in

The Floral Dance #. And for the group Blake,

:08:28.:08:31.

the backing of such an influential broadcaster mattered,

:08:32.:08:41.

as they listened to 'At one o'clock...'

:08:42.:08:42.

There's the voice. 'A trio of surpassing

:08:43.:08:46.

musical brilliance...'. We still have a quote

:08:47.:08:53.

from Sir Terry on our posters. It says, 'A trio of surpassing

:08:54.:08:55.

brilliance. And it was just, again, a charming,

:08:56.:08:58.

charming thing to say. I'm sure it sold some

:08:59.:09:04.

tickets as well. That voice, that charm

:09:05.:09:07.

that was Terry Wogan. David Sillito, our Arts

Correspondent, is live outside BBC You try and work out what was so

:09:17.:10:02.

appealing about him, there is the wit, but it helped being Irish, the

:10:03.:10:06.

classless accent, but I think there is a key element. Father Brian

:10:07.:10:11.

D'Arcy, his friend for so many years, he said that what made him

:10:12.:10:20.

special, he felt, was the direct contacts, two people having a shared

:10:21.:10:23.

conversation together. He said he was one of the few broadcasters who

:10:24.:10:28.

truly believed the audience was as clever as he was. Our arts

:10:29.:10:36.

correspondent looking back at the life of Sir Terry Wogan.

:10:37.:10:39.

The UN Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon visited a drought-hit region

:10:40.:10:42.

of Ethiopia today, to draw attention to its worsening hunger crisis.

:10:43.:10:44.

More than ten million people are short of food,

:10:45.:10:46.

amid one of the worst droughts for decades.

:10:47.:10:48.

Some aid is coming in but, as our correspondent

:10:49.:10:50.

Alastair Leithead has seen in Dire Dawa, in eastern Ethiopia,

:10:51.:10:54.

The skies are dark, but the land is dry.

:10:55.:11:04.

To people here, animals are everything.

:11:05.:11:07.

Their carcasses were scattered everywhere, the cattle

:11:08.:11:15.

The stench was so bad, we had to bury them all.

:11:16.:11:21.

For what survived, there is just nothing to eat.

:11:22.:11:23.

Neither animals more people can live here any more.

:11:24.:11:28.

And so they have travelled to a far horizon.

:11:29.:11:31.

It is hardly an oasis but at least it is a central,

:11:32.:11:34.

accessible place where the aid can be delivered.

:11:35.:11:41.

They have known drought here before, but none as bad

:11:42.:11:43.

The area affected is far wider than that hit by famine more

:11:44.:11:47.

I lost all my livestock, she told me, so we are

:11:48.:11:54.

There is no pasture, no water, we have never seen anything

:11:55.:11:58.

Help is being given to those sticking it out.

:11:59.:12:05.

The improvised desert water tank holds two days of water

:12:06.:12:07.

In accessible places, the governorment is helping.

:12:08.:12:13.

But the UN's World Food Programme is so underfunded, Ethiopia

:12:14.:12:19.

Well, the food aid is getting through.

:12:20.:12:25.

The Ethiopian government is doing a great deal to try and mitigate

:12:26.:12:29.

the situation, but this drought is over a vast area of the country.

:12:30.:12:37.

There is a shortfall in the amount of money that the international

:12:38.:12:40.

community says is required versus is what is being provided.

:12:41.:12:44.

And if that doesn't come over the next few months,

:12:45.:12:47.

these people are facing a much bigger crisis.

:12:48.:12:48.

And so the United Nations Secretary General came

:12:49.:12:50.

Nearly ?1 billion is needed, but just half is funded.

:12:51.:12:58.

This is not the Ethiopia of 1984, when hundreds of thousands

:12:59.:13:00.

A new railway line brought aid here all the way from the coast.

:13:01.:13:09.

But a serious drought and the impact of El Nino has left more

:13:10.:13:13.

It is now not about whether the rain comes, but whether help arrives.

:13:14.:13:26.

Talks in Downing Street this evening between the Prime Minister

:13:27.:13:29.

and the President of the European Council,

:13:30.:13:35.

Donald Tusk, have ended without a deal on the terms

:13:36.:13:38.

of Britain's membership of the European Union.

:13:39.:13:40.

Further discussions between their officials are due

:13:41.:13:41.

Our Political correspondent Carole Walker is in Downing Street.

:13:42.:13:44.

Did they make progress? Are told it was a productive smoked

:13:45.:13:56.

salmon, but of life and crumble but Donald Tusk left but, no deal was

:13:57.:14:04.

what has emerged is that it's going to be a further 24 hours of

:14:05.:14:09.

intensive work to try to resolve outstanding differences will stop a

:14:10.:14:12.

draft text we expected tomorrow will not be circulated now before Tuesday

:14:13.:14:19.

at the earliest. Downing Street is claiming a significant breakthrough.

:14:20.:14:22.

They say the European Commission has agreed Britain does need the cry --

:14:23.:14:28.

meet the criteria to impose an emergency halt on the payments to

:14:29.:14:32.

benefit EU migrants which they say will mean David Cameron could

:14:33.:14:38.

deliver on his original commitment Weekend Wogan year delay for EU

:14:39.:14:41.

migrants to claim in work benefits here. But a lot of details have to

:14:42.:14:47.

be thrashed out and we are not there yet is the word from Number 10. And

:14:48.:14:51.

David Cameron has always made it clear that if he does not get the

:14:52.:14:56.

right deal, he is prepared to walk away empty-handed from the EU summit

:14:57.:15:00.

in 2.5 weeks and carry on negotiating.

:15:01.:15:04.

The Business Secretary, Sajid Javid, says the controversial settlement

:15:05.:15:06.

between Google and the tax authorities "wasn't

:15:07.:15:07.

Under the deal, the internet giant agreed to pay ?130 million

:15:08.:15:11.

in additional back taxes covering the past decade.

:15:12.:15:14.

The Chancellor, George Osborne, had called the agreement

:15:15.:15:16.

The World Health Organisation meets tomorrow to discuss whether the Zika

:15:17.:15:25.

virus, which is spreading through Latin America,

:15:26.:15:27.

should be declared an international emergency.

:15:28.:15:29.

Four million cases are predicted for this year and the mosquito-borne

:15:30.:15:32.

virus has been linked to babies being born

:15:33.:15:35.

Our South America Correspondent, Wyre Davies, reports on the impact

:15:36.:15:40.

This is why the Zika outbreak couldn't have come at a worse

:15:41.:15:52.

It's the height of summer - mosquito breeding season.

:15:53.:15:58.

Millions of people packed together on the streets,

:15:59.:16:00.

But one person not enjoying carnival this year is Shoraya.

:16:01.:16:09.

The 23-year-old has Zika now and is suffering badly.

:16:10.:16:14.

TRANSLATION: I'm itching and scratching all the time.

:16:15.:16:18.

I constantly feel nauseous and want to vomit.

:16:19.:16:21.

I can't keep anything down apart from water.

:16:22.:16:24.

She shows me the range of generic drugs she is taking because nothing

:16:25.:16:27.

specific to Zika has yet been developed.

:16:28.:16:31.

Shoraya is also making sure she doesn't get pregnant.

:16:32.:16:35.

With fears about the suspected link between Zika and abnormalities

:16:36.:16:37.

in newborn babies, for women who are ready pregnant,

:16:38.:16:42.

this is a particularly worrying time.

:16:43.:16:45.

Some of those who can, like Lene, are taking the drastic decision

:16:46.:16:47.

I don't see it as the ideal situation to have to leave

:16:48.:16:52.

the country but I feel really lucky that I can.

:16:53.:16:55.

If I had to stay here another six months, that's a long time

:16:56.:16:59.

Nine months is a long time where something can go wrong.

:17:00.:17:05.

The Catholic and evangelical churches are powerful

:17:06.:17:07.

For those pregnant women worried about microcephaly who can't afford

:17:08.:17:14.

Abortion is illegal, with just a few exceptions,

:17:15.:17:20.

and church leaders are vehemently against reopening the debate

:17:21.:17:23.

and amending the law, even if the link between Zika

:17:24.:17:25.

This man is the auxiliary Archbishop of Rio and he is a qualified doctor.

:17:26.:17:38.

Even if the link is established, he tells me, every sick

:17:39.:17:41.

Whether it is a child in the womb or somebody in hospital,

:17:42.:17:46.

they have the right to be cared for and not assassinated.

:17:47.:17:53.

But the debates about abortion, access to health care and funding

:17:54.:17:55.

Women are, in many ways, at the forefront of the Zika crisis

:17:56.:18:01.

and, with what the WHO calls an exploding situation,

:18:02.:18:04.

there is a desperate shortage of information.

:18:05.:18:07.

The centre of the outbreak in Brazil is the city of Recife

:18:08.:18:15.

and our science editor David Shukman is there tonight.

:18:16.:18:21.

Does it look to you as though the authorities are starting to get this

:18:22.:18:29.

under control? Well, they are certainly talking about fighting the

:18:30.:18:34.

virus, in terms of fighting a war, but frankly it isn't going well.

:18:35.:18:38.

Picture the emotions running through the minds of thousands of pregnant

:18:39.:18:42.

women across this tropical city and elsewhere in regions affected who

:18:43.:18:48.

may have the Zika virus or not convert to have it -- are confirmed

:18:49.:18:52.

to have it but don't know the effect could have on there and born

:18:53.:18:56.

children. I met a woman yesterday said she was too scared to go out at

:18:57.:19:00.

night and she covers herself in mosquito repellent. The enemy is

:19:01.:19:05.

uncertainty and scientists are working around the clock to

:19:06.:19:08.

understand how the virus works. I spent the weekend with doctors

:19:09.:19:12.

assessing the evidence and they are pretty convinced there is a definite

:19:13.:19:15.

link between the virus and the fact that babies are growing up without

:19:16.:19:20.

the proper formation of their brains. What happens here really

:19:21.:19:25.

matters globally, because this city is on the front line. What it gets

:19:26.:19:28.

wrong will be a lesson to be learned by other tropical cities that may be

:19:29.:19:33.

in line next. What it gets right could be a template for them to

:19:34.:19:37.

follow to avoid the kind of terrible scenes we are getting here.

:19:38.:19:40.

Doctors in Switzerland say they have separated eight-day-old twins

:19:41.:19:42.

who were fused together at the liver and the chest.

:19:43.:19:45.

The sisters are believed to be the youngest babies ever

:19:46.:19:47.

Doctors had planned to operate on them when they were a few months

:19:48.:19:53.

old, but brought the surgery forward when the twins developed

:19:54.:19:55.

At least 50 people have been killed and more than 100 injured

:19:56.:20:02.

in a series of bombings close to the Syrian capital,

:20:03.:20:04.

The so-called Islamic State says it carried out the attacks,

:20:05.:20:09.

which targeted one of Shia Islam's holiest shrines.

:20:10.:20:16.

America's presidential hopefuls face their first electoral test

:20:17.:20:18.

tomorrow night with a series of votes - or caucuses -

:20:19.:20:20.

It's the first formal stage in the race for both Republican

:20:21.:20:24.

and Democratic presidential contenders.

:20:25.:20:27.

Our North America editor, Jon Sopel, is live in Iowa's capital,

:20:28.:20:29.

We have heard a fair amount about these campaigns but how predictable

:20:30.:20:43.

are the outcomes of the Caucasus? Michelle, totally unpredictable,

:20:44.:20:49.

totally unknowable. This has been the most bizarre set of races for

:20:50.:20:54.

decades. A year ago, you would have said it would be Jeb Bush for the

:20:55.:20:57.

Republicans and Hilary Clinton for the Democrats but Jeb Bush, for all

:20:58.:21:02.

the millions he has spent, seems to be sinking without trace, largely

:21:03.:21:05.

down to the presence of one man, Donald Trump. He made his entrance

:21:06.:21:12.

to Des Moines this weekend on his private jet, huge loudspeakers,

:21:13.:21:16.

blaring out music. If you listen to the music, it is the theme tune to

:21:17.:21:24.

Air Force One. Donald Trump doesn't do anything quietly. The other main

:21:25.:21:28.

contender for the Republican prize is Ted Cruz, a Texas senator, also

:21:29.:21:34.

antiestablishment. On the democratic side, Hilary Clinton is facing a

:21:35.:21:40.

fierce challenge from the new kid on the block, Senator Bernie Sanders,

:21:41.:21:45.

74 years old, who describes himself as a democratic socialist, who is

:21:46.:21:49.

also saying he wants to raise taxes for the middle classes, and yet he

:21:50.:21:53.

is pulling in thousands of supporters and millions in

:21:54.:21:58.

donations. All that said, despite all of the polls, despite all of the

:21:59.:22:05.

TV ads, despite the televised debates, not a vote has been cast.

:22:06.:22:09.

That changes tomorrow. As we know from the British general election,

:22:10.:22:11.

polls can be badly wrong. With all the sport, here's

:22:12.:22:15.

Karthi Gnanasegaram at the BBC Sport Andy Murray said he was proud

:22:16.:22:17.

to have reached the Australian Open final but was keen to get home

:22:18.:22:24.

after losing in straight sets to the world number

:22:25.:22:26.

one, Novak Djokovic. The Serb has now won

:22:27.:22:29.

11 Grand Slam titles. This was a record-equalling sixth
