An hour of news right here, and well told from was speaking in virgin

you, members of Parliament were debating the idea of banning him

from the country for hate speech. His words Ahronot, colour, they are

not they are poisonous. -- they are not comical.

I've been speaking to BBC Arabic about a man arrested in Morocco,

who apparently has direct links to the Paris attacks.

I'll play you a BBC and Buzzfeed investigation into match-fixing

in tennis, and reaction from Novak Djokovic.

Millions of you have been watching this video of a Space X rocket

landing on a boat, and then, well,

And as ever, if you are online at the same time with your smartphone

or a tablet, if you tweet using this #, I will do my best to answer it

before the R is out. One of the more surreal afternoons

for British politics. Members of Parliament have decided

not to back the idea of banning But they did spend several hours

of their busy day debating it. This story all started

several weeks ago with this Donald J Trump is calling

for a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering

the United States, until our country's representatives can figure

out what the hell is going on. After that a peitition was started

on the UK parliament website. Over half a million

people signed it. Under the rules, MPs have

to consider a parliamentary discussion of any petition that

hits 100,000 signatures. because while British MPs were

talking about him in Westminster. 6152 kilometres away,

in Lynchburg, Virginia, We've brought both events

together in one report. Order, order. Mr Flynn to move the

motion. At least you know you're not wasting

your time today. 42% is good. I would take 42% if we had three

people. Lavishing him with attention, even if it is only to

condemn, is only falling into that trap he has set. His popularity

among voters is evidence of this. We can all be politically, correct, it

takes too much time, and a lot of it is wrong. I draw the line of freedom

of speech when it imports violent ideology, which I feel is happening.

I won't let the Syrians that we have no idea who they are, they may be

Isis, it may be the Trojan horse, who knows? Week cannot take a

chance. His comments regarding Muslims are wrong. His policy to

close borders of a lack that President is bonkers. If I didn't

talk about a legal immigration in my opening remarks I don't think you

would be talking about it today and it is one of the most important

things. There is a peer of immigration and global security and

I suspect Donald Trump's fears were bored out of aspiration self,

although he should be leading to clearer understanding of this. The

difficulty we are in is showing disrespect for Mr Crump might be

interpreted by his supporters and others as showing disrespect to

America. This is not what we are saying, it is one individual

involved in this. There you go, two stories in one report. Let's go live

now to Washington. I guess Washington will not be -- I guess

Donald Trump will not be losing sleep about being called honkers by

a parliamentarian. And look at the tone of that debate compared to

Donald Trump's rallies, which are festivities of colour and outlandish

remarks, so the risk in difference between the two and you were right,

he will not care what the British Parliament says, in fact I would not

surprised if he uses that to his than a foot in the way he uses

everything set against them, he turns it around and gets a boost in

the polls. But isn't there an issue here that the UK and US are supposed

to be close, he wants to be president and it might not be great

if British parliamentarians are having these discussions. This can

work in funny ways because among Trump's supporters, the most

important thing is he project strength and never apologises. If he

is being criticised from outside, they would see that at the weakness

of the people criticising him rather den the strength of him standing up

for their rights. I don't see how this damages him. This guy has said

President Putin likes him and thinks he is very, and that has been to his

benefit, so I do not think what is debated in Parliament will make a

difference. What will make a difference is what happens in Iowa.

We are getting close, how is it looking for him? You only have to

look at the town of recent Republican exchanges to see he is

feeling the pinch of centre Ted Cruz from Texas who has a strong

following among Christian evangelical voters. If I what we'll

do what it has done traditionally in these caucuses and turn to the most

evangelical candidate, they are likely to swing towards Ted Cruz.

Donald Trump is getting a massive amount of airtime, twice that of

Hillary Clinton, outstripping his own Republican competitors, so he is

feeling good, but it will be interesting to see which way I award

goes. Thank you, Katie, live from the world new studio in America.

We'll have more from Donald Trump's speech today in

Now, the UK Government wants some Muslim women who come more

And it's putting money behind this - ?20 million to be

spent encouraging Muslim women living in the UK to learn English.

Added to this is the threat that a failure to learn English

According to the government, 22% of Muslim women speak

little or no English - other estimates put

Rob Watson explained what was behind this push by the UK Government.

You have to see this in the wider context of a debate in this country,

as in other European countries with significant Muslim populations,

about multiculturalism. How do we all get along in the UK? How do

various faiths and cultures that are long? Since 9/11 and the attacks

here in 2005, British politicians have decided the past approach,

multiculturalism of people living separate lives which interchange

every so often does not really work, and David Cameron has made several

big speeches on this front. In many ways this speech suffered from the

problems he has had on this. There is sympathy with the idea of

re-examining multiculturalism but these particular initiatives,

whether learning English or other things, put up the hackles of a lot

of people in the Muslim community, often seen as the government picking

on them, so that is what this story is, an attempt to re-evaluate, to

redo multiculturalism, to go down a different path, but so far the

authorities has not figured out a way to do that without upsetting

Muslims. Someone watching has just messaged me to ask when Parliament

will make a decision on whether to allow Donald Trump access? The MPs

we saw did not have the power to ban him, that he longs to the Home

Secretary, and in any case they didn't support it anyway. Theresa

May is not going to take action on that, there is no possibility of

Donald from being banned from the UK.

A man's been arrested in Morocco in connection

We're being told he's Belgian that he was arrested in Mohammedia

BBC Arabic's Mousa Ba has been helping me with this.

He had direct links with the Paris attacks are traitors and travelled

to Syria and he had strong links with Daesh commander 's and as well

with a man believed to be the ringleader of the Paris attacks. We

don't know a lot of information about this man, we know Moroccan

authorities have been looking in the past three or four months for any

bulge citizens of Moroccan origin coming through its borders and has

published the pictures of people says acted to have participated in

the Paris attacks, and finally it has arrested this man. And this

place where he was arrested, does it have a history of radical Islam? No,

it is a port city, people go during the summer to enjoy

the beaches, but in in Morocco. This city does not have

any particular significance. heard this phrase that there are

links between him and the Paris attackers, but what does the word

link mean? The obvious link between Paris attackers is that many of them

Moroccan origin, many Belgium or used to, and many

travelled to Syria, so this is the obvious link but beyond that,

through the statement we don't know much except his initials and that he

had strong links with a man believed to be the ringleader. In a few

minutes we will get into of sanctions against Iran. Much of

this happened over the weekend and we are not so much concentrating on

the back to the business as small business, in particular in one city

in Afghanistan. Britain's steel industry

suffered a blow today, as Tata announced the loss of more

than a thousand jobs, Formed in furnaces that never cool,

steel has been Port Talbot's Every job here is thought to support

four others in the community. The cuts will come across the board

with no guarantees that they will help secure the plans

long-term future. No, I couldn't say that

for a moment, in terms of where the European industry

is at this point in time, Pressure on the industry resonates

through every little business here. Suppliers, hotels, cafes,

everyone is feeling it. I think it's going to

devastate the area. It's going to really

kill it, basically. It is going to affect us,

the whole of Port Talbot. 750 people then do not have that

money to spend within the town But for workers here,

it's hard to see much hope Our lead story is: British MPs have

been debating whether Donald Trump should be banned from entering

the UK because of his And if you bring some of the main

stories from BBC World Service. has been killed by a mortar that

appears to have come Last week we reported on food aid

reaching the Syrian town of Madaya. And this aid didn't arrive

soon enough for some. The UN says five more people

time shows us the damage done by fire last year to a stately home

on the BBC News App. A joint investigation by the BBC

and Buzzfeed has exposed evidence of widespread suspected match-fixing

at the top level of world tennis, Over the last decade,

16 players who have ranked in the top 50 have been repeatedly

reported over suspicions All of the players, including

winners of Grand Slam titles, Our sports correspondent,

Richard Conway, reports. The first Tennis Grand Slam

of 2016 is under way, but allegations of match fixing

combined with claims authorities failed to act, have

raised questions over Over the past decade,

16 players who have ranked in the top 50 are said to have been

repeatedly reported due to suspicions they

have thrown games. All of the players, including

winners of Grand Slam titles, From the list that we had

compiled from our sources, we know that there are at least

eight players in the Australian Open who have been repeatedly flagged

to the Tennis Integrity Unit. Those in charge of the sport

deny culpability. The Tennis Integrity Unit and tennis

authorities absolutely reject any suggestion that evidence of match

fixing has been suppressed for any reason, or is not being

thoroughly investigated. While the BBC and Buzzfeed reports

mainly refer to events of ten years ago, we will investigate

any new information. The BBC and Buzzfeed have obtained

documents from tennis insiders. They identify a series of betting

syndicates linked to players. A Russian group who bet

on five suspicious matches A north Italian group placed bets

on 28 matches and won ?650,000. A Sicilian syndicate bet on 12

matches including three at Wimbledon This syndicate targeted Wimbledon

more than any other Grand Slam. The men's world number one has

played down concerns over fixing at the very top level of tennis,

but admits he was approached I was approached through,

I mean, me personally, through people that were working

with me at that time, And of course we threw

it away right away. The tennis authorities insist

they have a zero tolerance approach to match fixing but these latest

allegations will serve as a reminder of the need for constant vigilance

against those trying to corrupt Some of the international sanctions

against Iran were lifted at the weekend, in return for Iran

restricting its nuclear programme. There has been talk about how this

will affect big global businesses. But in fact thousands of small

businesses Here's one example,

Herat in Afghanistan. This was once a staging post on one

of the greatest trade routes of the world, the silk Road between China

and Europe. Iran is less than 100 miles away and its influence is

everywhere here. This is a rainy and? What about this stuff? What

about the soap? This is Afghan. So some products are from Afghanistan

but all this competition makes it difficult for Afghan manufacturers,

the other side of the coin it is great for consumers because

competition tends to mean lower prices. The whole world is already

feeling the effect of new competition from Iran. Fuel prices

are falling in anticipation of Iran opening the taps on its vast

supplies of oil. Many business people say they relished the

challenge of Iranian competition. TRANSLATION: The most important

thing is we will be able to transfer money via the banks, which will make

it easier to buy a goods, but more importantly I hope it will make

Afghanistan a transit point for trade with other countries. Perhaps

that would make what used to be known as the Imperial Road a bit

more imperious because trade across the entire region is expected to

pick up now. The commander at the border says the workforce will

trouble to 6000, which means they will not want to join the Taliban,

evidence of how closely intertwined economics and politics can be. That

is a key part of the rationale of lifting sanctions. Two years ago

Iran was a pariah state. The hope is nothing at more closely into the

economics and politics of this troubled region could be a powerful

force for stability and a potential benefit for us all.

through data from the bank Credit Suisse, and the headline

statistic it's come out with is that the richest 1% have

as much as the rest of us. Oxfam's point here is

to highlight inequality. But some argue we need to unpack

these figures According to Oxfam's latest report,

62 people have more wealth than half the world's population. And the

richest 1% own as much as the rest of the world combined. But question

marks have been raised over how Oxfam determines wealth and poverty.

The way it is looked at in this report is that the poorest people

are those who have MoD depth the assets, so a recent University

graduate in a rich country is defined as one of the world's

poorest. Others say the trend for income of quality between countries

is increasing as developing countries become richer. It is

rising with in some countries, especially the US and UK, where the

trend is for the income share of the rich to increase, and what to Oxfam

link needs to be done about the inequality gap? A crackdown on tax

evasion. According to them their super-rich has stashed trillions of
