attempt to reduce the flow of migrants. Last year, Sweden accepted | :01:24. | :01:32. | |
more than 150,000 new arrivals. Denmark in turn has decided to | :01:33. | :01:36. | |
tighten their borders with Germany. Richard Lister reports. | :01:37. | :01:39. | |
It is the bridge that had a TV show named after it. Since it first | :01:40. | :01:45. | |
linked with this edge-mac Sweden with Denmark 50 years ago, the | :01:46. | :01:50. | |
Crossing has been a potent symbol of European integration and free | :01:51. | :01:55. | |
movement. But not any more. Because from today, anyone crossing the | :01:56. | :01:59. | |
bridge to Sweden by train is diverted here to a Danish airport | :02:00. | :02:05. | |
for an ID check. Those without proper papers are turned back. | :02:06. | :02:09. | |
Yesterday, half a kilometre of fencing was built at the station to | :02:10. | :02:14. | |
reinforce the border and I knew controls at every other crossing | :02:15. | :02:15. | |
into Sweden. I will probably be delayed by | :02:16. | :02:24. | |
minutes to get to work and another 40 to get home. -- last year 163,000 | :02:25. | :02:32. | |
refugees requested asylum in Sweden. Compared to its population of 10 | :02:33. | :02:36. | |
million it has taken in more people than any other European country and | :02:37. | :02:41. | |
says it can't cope. Now only refugees with identity papers, about | :02:42. | :02:47. | |
40%, will be allowed in. It is a government the -- a decision the | :02:48. | :02:52. | |
government took difficultly. In November the Deputy Prime Minister | :02:53. | :02:56. | |
was in tears talking about the change. Those crossing to other | :02:57. | :03:01. | |
was in tears talking about the life harder. Norway is expelling 400 | :03:02. | :03:07. | |
was in tears talking about the number is set to increase. Denmark | :03:08. | :03:10. | |
says it is tightening its border with Germany. If the European Union | :03:11. | :03:16. | |
can't protect there external borders, you will see more and more | :03:17. | :03:21. | |
countries which will be forced into introducing temporary internal | :03:22. | :03:27. | |
border control. Freedom of movement has long been one of the mainstays | :03:28. | :03:32. | |
of the European object. Germany said today that principle appears to be | :03:33. | :03:33. | |
in danger. -- the European project. Gunilla Fritze is a reporter | :03:34. | :03:41. | |
with Swedish Television, About 10,000 people across this | :03:42. | :03:53. | |
bridge every day and there will be delays and traffic as a result of | :03:54. | :03:59. | |
the ID controls. When I took the early morning train we were | :04:00. | :04:02. | |
the ID controls. When I took the minutes after schedule when we | :04:03. | :04:06. | |
arrived at the airport and many travellers were frustrated and | :04:07. | :04:14. | |
irritated. Everybody has to show ID or passport to staff at the airport | :04:15. | :04:20. | |
platform and today the Danish Prime Minister said that they will have | :04:21. | :04:26. | |
similar border controls between Denmark and Germany. The Swedish | :04:27. | :04:30. | |
Immigration Minister said that he thinks the Danish government has | :04:31. | :04:35. | |
taken the right decision today, even though the Danish Prime Minister | :04:36. | :04:38. | |
said it is not a happy moment for Denmark. | :04:39. | :04:42. | |
Earlier, the BBC's Jenny Hill joined us from Berlin. | :04:43. | :04:44. | |
I asked her for more on Denmark stemming the migrant | :04:45. | :04:47. | |
My understanding is that as of today, for the next ten days or so, | :04:48. | :04:57. | |
the Danish government intends to carry out spot checks at Denmark's | :04:58. | :05:03. | |
southern border with Germany. If they find people without valid | :05:04. | :05:07. | |
passports they will be asked if they are willing to apply for asylum in | :05:08. | :05:11. | |
Denmark rather than travel on to Sweden. If they are willing to do so | :05:12. | :05:17. | |
they will be allowed to register in Denmark and carry on. If not they | :05:18. | :05:22. | |
will be turned back at the German border. A very fluid situation. | :05:23. | :05:26. | |
Denmark's concern is that it is caught in the middle. We have been | :05:27. | :05:30. | |
told that in the last three months or so some 90,000 people have | :05:31. | :05:35. | |
travelled through it from Germany. The vast majority have gone on to | :05:36. | :05:40. | |
seek asylum in Sweden. Denmark's concern is that if many of those | :05:41. | :05:44. | |
people are turned away at the border they will end up in Denmark looking | :05:45. | :05:50. | |
to seek asylum. This is all about Denmark looking to reduce the number | :05:51. | :05:55. | |
of people coming in to reduce a bottleneck situation. -- what will | :05:56. | :06:01. | |
it mean for Germany if Denmark shuts down or titans that border with | :06:02. | :06:07. | |
Germany? Ineffective the effect could be negligible because those | :06:08. | :06:17. | |
people could go on to Sweden. The decision has caused dismay in Berlin | :06:18. | :06:21. | |
for political regions. Angela Merkel has been leading calls for Europe to | :06:22. | :06:28. | |
try to solve the refugee crisis and take a coordinated approach and that | :06:29. | :06:31. | |
scenario seems to be diminishing fast as countries like Denmark and | :06:32. | :06:38. | |
Sweden are acting in their own national security interests. | :06:39. | :06:41. | |
If the first trading day of the year is anything to go by, | :06:42. | :06:44. | |
US stocks have joined a global sell-off, on jitters about China's | :06:45. | :06:49. | |
economic slowdown AND escalating tensions in the Middle East. | :06:50. | :06:55. | |
In China itself, trading on the Shanghai index was stopped, | :06:56. | :06:58. | |
after it plunged seven per cent, its biggest decline since August. | :06:59. | :07:06. | |
Japan's Nikkei tumbled more than three per cent. | :07:07. | :07:08. | |
with Germany's Dax tumbling 4.3 per cent. | :07:09. | :07:14. | |
Well, let's focus on what's happening in the US. | :07:15. | :07:17. | |
Michelle Fleury is at the New York Stock Exchange for us. | :07:18. | :07:23. | |
Good afternoon. Can you tell us the latest of what is happening? Looking | :07:24. | :07:33. | |
at the indexes now both the S and P and the Dow Jones are down around | :07:34. | :07:42. | |
2%. We are talking about the first trading day of the year, the last | :07:43. | :07:47. | |
time the Dow Jones has been this bad was about 80 years ago, which gives | :07:48. | :07:52. | |
you a sense of how much investors have retreated at the start of 2016. | :07:53. | :08:00. | |
How significant is it for the New York Stock Exchange when China has a | :08:01. | :08:05. | |
trading day like it just has? I think it is not just here on Wall | :08:06. | :08:10. | |
Street that it makes a difference. We are talking about China as the | :08:11. | :08:14. | |
world's second-largest economy so what drove that downward as fears of | :08:15. | :08:19. | |
a slowdown there which could have a knock-on effect on global economic | :08:20. | :08:28. | |
growth. China is about demand. If it is slowing down will people around | :08:29. | :08:31. | |
the world want to sell as much to China as they have been, that | :08:32. | :08:41. | |
spooked investors. The time on the New York Stock | :08:42. | :08:42. | |
Exchange there is 2:08pm. I am just hearing right now that | :08:43. | :08:56. | |
Rafa Benitez has been sacked by Real Madrid football club. Let's listen | :08:57. | :09:01. | |
in for a bit. Zinedine Zidane, some people have said they expect him to | :09:02. | :09:06. | |
be put in place and he is speaking at the moment. We will bring you | :09:07. | :09:12. | |
some details as they come in. I can tell you that this was scheduled, | :09:13. | :09:18. | |
people were instructed to tune in, and the president, Fiorentina | :09:19. | :09:29. | |
Paredes, says it was a response to the rumours that Rafa Benitez would | :09:30. | :09:33. | |
be fired, to be replaced by Zinedine Zidane. I will bring you details on | :09:34. | :09:35. | |
what he is saying. A diplomatic crisis is spreading | :09:36. | :09:46. | |
across the Middle East following Saudi Arabia's execution | :09:47. | :09:48. | |
of a prominent Shia Muslim cleric. The death of Sheikh Nimr al-Nimr | :09:49. | :09:50. | |
prompted an attack on the Saudi embassy in Tehran and similar | :09:51. | :09:53. | |
protests by Shia communities Adel al-Jubeir told Reuters | :09:54. | :09:55. | |
that the execution of Nimr al-Nimr We will be cutting off to placate -- | :09:56. | :10:12. | |
diplomatic, air travel and commercial relations with Iran and | :10:13. | :10:17. | |
we will have a travel ban. The rings and there allies have been pushing | :10:18. | :10:25. | |
and noting terrorism and recruiting people, inciting, providing weapons | :10:26. | :10:31. | |
and explosives to people and Nimr al-Nimr was one of them. He is as | :10:32. | :10:36. | |
much of a religious figure as Osama Bin Laden was, he is not. He was | :10:37. | :10:41. | |
agitating and organising cells, providing them with weapons and | :10:42. | :10:47. | |
money, he was involved in attacks against Saudi security forces. In | :10:48. | :10:51. | |
short he was a terrorist. We will not allow Iran to destabilise a | :10:52. | :10:57. | |
region, we will not allow them to do harm to our citizens or those of our | :10:58. | :11:01. | |
allies so we will react. A number of Arab nations have joined | :11:02. | :11:07. | |
Saudi Arabia in taking diplomatic Here's our International | :11:08. | :11:10. | |
Correspondent, Lyse Doucet. In Tehran today more angry | :11:11. | :11:14. | |
protests over the execution Sheikh Nimr's image now arises | :11:15. | :11:25. | |
from the growing crowds filling the streets across the region | :11:26. | :11:29. | |
in Shia communities. The cleric was known for fiery | :11:30. | :11:31. | |
speeches in defence of minority He was executed on Saturday | :11:32. | :11:33. | |
for sedition and violence. A verdict the Saudi | :11:34. | :11:38. | |
justice ministry defended He speaks with | :11:39. | :11:39. | |
simultaneous translation. TRANSLATION: As a spokesman of the | :11:40. | :11:51. | |
judicial power of Saudi Arabia I am not concerned with other voices. As | :11:52. | :12:00. | |
a judicial branch we apply the Sharia law according to the facts | :12:01. | :12:06. | |
that we see in front of us. But the voices grow larger. In Iraq the | :12:07. | :12:12. | |
follow up was violent. Two Sunni mosques attacked and retaliation | :12:13. | :12:19. | |
killings. But rain has followed Saudi Arabia in ordering all Iran | :12:20. | :12:24. | |
and diplomats to leave. -- Bahrain. The UAE is limiter limiting -- | :12:25. | :12:33. | |
limiting their numbers. The roots of this go back to a seven setter -- | :12:34. | :12:38. | |
seventh century battle over who should lead the Muslim community | :12:39. | :12:42. | |
after the death of Muhammad. The faith was divided into two branches, | :12:43. | :12:47. | |
Sunni and Shia. The question of leadership became intensely | :12:48. | :12:53. | |
political with the 1979 Iranian revolution. Iraq has pledged to | :12:54. | :12:58. | |
export its revolution, threatened its neighbours, but last year's deal | :12:59. | :13:05. | |
to dislike -- dismantle its nuclear programme they were returning to the | :13:06. | :13:10. | |
diplomatic fold. They had just been accepted by the Americans into the | :13:11. | :13:18. | |
plan to solve the Syrian crisis. If this escalates and there is some | :13:19. | :13:24. | |
kind of war directly between Iran and Saudi Arabia - currently it is a | :13:25. | :13:33. | |
proxy war- then we have to worry hugely. Iran and Saudi Arabia are on | :13:34. | :13:39. | |
opposite sides in the border in Syria and Yemen. | :13:40. | :13:41. | |
opposite sides in the border in region is being dragged into an even | :13:42. | :13:46. | |
greater The British Prime Minister has | :13:47. | :14:03. | |
dismissed a video featuring a British Islamists as propaganda. An | :14:04. | :14:09. | |
English-speaking child is also seen in the video before five captives, | :14:10. | :14:17. | |
thought to be Syrian, are shot dead. The latest propaganda video from the | :14:18. | :14:20. | |
group calling itself Islamic The latest propaganda video from the | :14:21. | :14:25. | |
A masked killer cut -- taunting Britain and addressing its Prime | :14:26. | :14:30. | |
Minister in a British accent. How strange it is that a leader of a | :14:31. | :14:36. | |
small island threatens us with planes. Today the Prime Minister | :14:37. | :14:41. | |
gave his response. It is desperate stuff from an organisation that | :14:42. | :14:47. | |
really does do the most utterly disk you -- despicable act and people can | :14:48. | :14:53. | |
see that again today, but this organisation is losing territory and | :14:54. | :14:58. | |
ground. This film is not that unusual. It is part of a stream of | :14:59. | :15:01. | |
big and directed at different countries. The videos are often | :15:02. | :15:05. | |
brutal and sometimes featured children. The child as young as | :15:06. | :15:10. | |
five, who also may be British, is also in the latest video. IS has | :15:11. | :15:16. | |
lost ground recently, for example here in Ramadi, but experts are not | :15:17. | :15:20. | |
sure that this new video is a sign that they are in retreat. Islamic | :15:21. | :15:26. | |
State is very much part of the landscape in the Levant, it is going | :15:27. | :15:30. | |
to be around for a few years yet, and the idea that it is desperate is | :15:31. | :15:36. | |
to be around for a few years yet, misleading the situation. Here at | :15:37. | :15:39. | |
MI5 headquarters analysts will have spent the last 24 hours poring over | :15:40. | :15:43. | |
every detail of the latest video, comparing it to the details they | :15:44. | :15:48. | |
have on file about known jihadists to try to confirm the killer's | :15:49. | :15:54. | |
identity. Hundreds of Britons are in Syria but speculation focused on | :15:55. | :16:00. | |
this man. He fled Britain whilst on police bail in 2014. Tonight a | :16:01. | :16:04. | |
former associate told the BBC they had no doubt the voice was his. His | :16:05. | :16:09. | |
sister told the BBC she at first thought it was him but is now less | :16:10. | :16:15. | |
sure. I was in a bit of a state of shock because I believed the audio | :16:16. | :16:21. | |
to resemble the voice of my brother, but I think, having viewed the short | :16:22. | :16:28. | |
clip in detail, I wasn't entirely convinced, which sort of put me at | :16:29. | :16:34. | |
ease. Whoever he is the mast man seems to be emulated and Hadi | :16:35. | :16:40. | |
Emwazi, Jihadi John, killed in a joint strike in November. He may | :16:41. | :16:47. | |
have been tracked down here at the heart -- with the help of informers. | :16:48. | :16:52. | |
Five men alleged to be spies are shown killed, another sign of the | :16:53. | :16:54. | |
brutality of life under IS. The US Justice Department is suing | :16:55. | :17:12. | |
Volkswagen over the emissions scandal. Last year Volkswagen | :17:13. | :17:22. | |
device. device. | :17:23. | :17:29. | |
One of Poland's deadliest-ever cold snaps killed a | :17:30. | :17:40. | |
Temperatures fell to minus 18 degrees centigrade. | :17:41. | :17:43. | |
The freezing weather's made conditions especially | :17:44. | :17:45. | |
difficult for migrants living in temporary accommodation. | :17:46. | :17:46. | |
High winds and heavy rain are battering Scotland, | :17:47. | :17:48. | |
with dozens of flood warnings in place across the country. | :17:49. | :17:51. | |
Aberdeenshire is one of the many areas to be affected. | :17:52. | :17:53. | |
The latest high winds and downpours came as Scotland continues to clean | :17:54. | :17:56. | |
There's a big standoff underway in the US State of Oregon - | :17:57. | :18:13. | |
Federal agents are trying to bring a peaceful end to the occupation of | :18:14. | :18:18. | |
a wildlife refuge by self-styled militiamen. | :18:19. | :18:19. | |
It all follows a rally in the town of Burns in support | :18:20. | :18:23. | |
of two ranchers - a father and son - jailed for lighting fires on federal | :18:24. | :18:26. | |
About 100 armed protesters occupied the headquarters | :18:27. | :18:31. | |
of the Malheur National Wildlife Reserve. | :18:32. | :18:33. | |
Let's get some more background now on the militiamen | :18:34. | :18:35. | |
This will be a base for Patriots across the country to be housed here | :18:36. | :18:47. | |
and we plan to stay for several years. | :18:48. | :18:57. | |
I am 100% willing to lay my life down to fight against tyranny in | :18:58. | :19:03. | |
this country. I don't know what to say, it seems | :19:04. | :19:22. | |
like over reach for having burned 127 acres. | :19:23. | :19:30. | |
That is what we are up here for, the constitution. | :19:31. | :19:39. | |
It is sort of frightening when there is people making threats. | :19:40. | :20:03. | |
This is the power of America right here, people gathered together. It | :20:04. | :20:10. | |
doesn't need to stop here, we need you to get arms and come to this | :20:11. | :20:16. | |
wildlife refuge. Let's hear from James Cook, based | :20:17. | :20:21. | |
just outside the National wildlife refuge. | :20:22. | :20:26. | |
The situation is that some of these men, some of them armed, have taken | :20:27. | :20:31. | |
over this wildlife refuge. It is a curious target haps on the face of | :20:32. | :20:36. | |
it, it doesn't seem like an obvious symbol to the outside world of | :20:37. | :20:42. | |
government oppression. It is a bird century which has been here since | :20:43. | :20:47. | |
1908, but they say it is a crucial symbol, really, of what the federal | :20:48. | :20:52. | |
government has been doing in terms of its interactions with local | :20:53. | :20:56. | |
ranchers. They complain the federal government has been interfering in | :20:57. | :21:00. | |
their affairs come has been tampering with their rights in this | :21:01. | :21:06. | |
land, and that is at the heart of all this, an argument about who has | :21:07. | :21:10. | |
the right to the land. The ranchers insist the federal government has no | :21:11. | :21:14. | |
right to be involved on this land whatsoever. As for what has been | :21:15. | :21:18. | |
happening today, it has been relatively quiet. A number of people | :21:19. | :21:24. | |
are down in the buildings below us, we were strongly discouraged from | :21:25. | :21:27. | |
going down to speak to them. We were told that their leader, whose father | :21:28. | :21:35. | |
was involved in a full -- former stand-off with the government in | :21:36. | :21:42. | |
Nevada, says he will come and speak to us but in the meantime we have | :21:43. | :21:45. | |
been strongly discouraged from going down to the site. Interestingly, | :21:46. | :21:52. | |
there has been no sign whatsoever of the police or any federal agents | :21:53. | :21:53. | |
here. They were formed 55 years ago | :21:54. | :22:05. | |
and have already won four Grammys. I started while I was young, | :22:06. | :22:48. | |
about 12, making noise. And when I stopped she said, oh, | :22:49. | :23:01. | |
carry on, carry on, my boy. When we met Paul Simon, | :23:02. | :23:14. | |
because we first met So we stood behind | :23:15. | :23:16. | |
microphones and we started to sing, so there | :23:17. | :23:37. | |
was many people trying We practised until 12 midnight | :23:38. | :23:41. | |
and then we went to sleep. When we got into the studio | :23:42. | :23:45. | |
and sang the whole song, he said, this is what | :23:46. | :23:48. | |
I was looking for. So it's finished, we are | :23:49. | :23:50. | |
going to repeat this. When we are on stage | :23:51. | :24:38. | |
singing it is easier, it was a wonderful moment | :24:39. | :24:53. | |
to receive the Grammy Award. And a reminder of news breaking, the | :24:54. | :25:01. | |
but we say thank you to all people, And a reminder of news breaking, the | :25:02. | :25:39. | |
Spanish football giant Real Madrid has fired Rafa Benitez, its manager, | :25:40. | :25:45. | |
after seven months, replacing him with former player Zinedine Zidane | :25:46. | :25:51. | |
Zidane. The club president made the decision -- announced the decision | :25:52. | :25:57. | |
at a news conference. Zinedine Zidane has said it is the best club | :25:58. | :26:01. | |
in the world. That is all from me for now. Goodbye. | :26:02. | :26:13. | |
Another day for the umbrellas tomorrow. We needed them today, | :26:14. | :26:17. | |
shower after shower, some sunshine and then another shower. Some | :26:18. | :26:22. | |
rumbles of thunder, a big area of low pressure parked across the UK, | :26:23. | :26:25. | |
ever so | :26:26. | :26:27. |
