This is BBC World News Today with me Tim Willcox. | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
A major boost for Republican Presidential contender Donald Trump | :00:09. | :00:18. | |
as he's endorsed by New Jersey Governor Chris Christie. | :00:19. | :00:27. | |
There is no one who is better prepared to provide America with the | :00:28. | :00:33. | |
strongly to ship that it needs, both at home and around the world, than | :00:34. | :00:35. | |
Donald Trump. Football's world governing body Fifa | :00:36. | :00:40. | |
elects a new President. He's Switzerland's Gianni Infantino, | :00:41. | :00:43. | |
the former deputy head of European We will restore the image of Fifa | :00:44. | :00:53. | |
and the respect of Fifa and everyone will applaud us. And hour to go | :00:54. | :00:57. | |
until a temporary halt to the fighting in Syria, but will it bring | :00:58. | :01:02. | |
a lasting peace? And will Hollywood's biggest night of the | :01:03. | :01:06. | |
year be overshadowed by protests about the lack of diversity? | :01:07. | :01:23. | |
Another stunning development in the race for the Republican nomination | :01:24. | :01:31. | |
for president. Donald Trump has won another high-profile supporter. | :01:32. | :01:34. | |
Chris Christie has said his former rival for the White House had the | :01:35. | :01:38. | |
best chance at beating Hillary Clinton in the election later this | :01:39. | :01:43. | |
year. Here's what Chris Christie had to say. I'm proud to be head to | :01:44. | :01:47. | |
endorsed Donald Trump for president of the United States. I'm doing this | :01:48. | :01:51. | |
for a number of reasons. First is that Donald and I have been friends | :01:52. | :01:58. | |
for over a decade. He's been a good and loyal friend our family, as we | :01:59. | :02:02. | |
have been to him and his family. Over the years we've had a lot of | :02:03. | :02:06. | |
wonderful times together. We've done a lot of good together for not only | :02:07. | :02:10. | |
the people in New Jersey but many charities we've worked with. I | :02:11. | :02:16. | |
absolutely appreciate him as a person and as a friend. Secondly, | :02:17. | :02:22. | |
I've been on that stage. I've got to know all the people on that stage | :02:23. | :02:26. | |
and there is no one who is better prepared to provide America with the | :02:27. | :02:30. | |
strongly to ship that it needs both at home and around the world than | :02:31. | :02:31. | |
Donald Trump. Chris Christie is an establishment | :02:32. | :02:50. | |
political figure. He is the governor of New Jersey. He was a rising star | :02:51. | :02:55. | |
of the Republican party, and up until New Hampshire he was one of | :02:56. | :02:58. | |
the candidates. They him to throw his weight behind Donald Trump | :02:59. | :03:05. | |
really is a slap in the face for the Republican party. Up until now | :03:06. | :03:11. | |
they've been looking at Donald Trump as an upstart, an outsider, someone | :03:12. | :03:14. | |
who frankly has been a bit of a joke. Or as Chris Christie once | :03:15. | :03:20. | |
described him, as the entertainer in chief. Now you have the governor of | :03:21. | :03:24. | |
New Jersey himself saying that this is the man who is going to win the | :03:25. | :03:29. | |
nomination, this is the man who can beat Hillary Clinton. Revenge on | :03:30. | :03:34. | |
Chris Christie's part for Marco Rubio who laid into him a week ago. | :03:35. | :03:39. | |
I think there's probably a bit of that going on as well. He certainly | :03:40. | :03:43. | |
had some demeaning comments about Marco Rubio when he appeared with | :03:44. | :03:48. | |
Donald Trump in Texas earlier today to announce his endorsement. He said | :03:49. | :03:53. | |
Marco Rubio's performance in last night 's debate, which most people | :03:54. | :03:58. | |
thought was pretty solid was actually reflective of a losing | :03:59. | :04:04. | |
campaign. And smacks of desperation. He also made rather personal | :04:05. | :04:08. | |
references to the fact Marco Rubio sweats a lot. That's been a bit of a | :04:09. | :04:11. | |
recurring theme, Donald Trump keeps talking about that as well. Chris | :04:12. | :04:18. | |
Christie clearly dismissing Marco Rubio as an also-ran and saying, if | :04:19. | :04:22. | |
anyone's going to do the job, it's going to be Donald Trump. How is | :04:23. | :04:27. | |
Trump polling ahead of super Tuesday? He is going great guns. He | :04:28. | :04:31. | |
really looks at this point to be quite unstoppable. He is leading in | :04:32. | :04:38. | |
most of the polls. Texas is one of the big battle grounds. Ted Cruz has | :04:39. | :04:42. | |
a very good chance there. But that is his home state. Generally | :04:43. | :04:48. | |
speaking, Donald Trump is still in the ascendancy. There's very little | :04:49. | :04:52. | |
at this stage that looks likely to knock him off his perch. He was the | :04:53. | :05:02. | |
last candidate to declare but the first to win the majority of votes | :05:03. | :05:06. | |
after two rounds and nearly four hours of voting in stearic. Fifa | :05:07. | :05:12. | |
finally has a new president -- voting in zero. He won 215 of the | :05:13. | :05:22. | |
votes. He is a 45-year-old lawyer from Switzerland. | :05:23. | :05:32. | |
He only entered the presidential race when it became clear that | :05:33. | :05:35. | |
Michael Platini, boss of European football's governing body Uefa, | :05:36. | :05:37. | |
Nevertheless, he is now President of Fifa and he will succeed Sepp | :05:38. | :05:41. | |
The sport is under pressure to make the right choice but also some big | :05:42. | :06:10. | |
changes. How big a day is this for Fifa? We'll see who wins the | :06:11. | :06:15. | |
presidency. The reform programme really matters. The arrest of senior | :06:16. | :06:20. | |
officials plunged Fifa into unprecedented crisis. The corruption | :06:21. | :06:24. | |
scandal seeing Sepp Blatter and from the sport he had ruled for so long. | :06:25. | :06:30. | |
Now if Fifa fail to approve a package of reforms including term | :06:31. | :06:33. | |
limits the disclosure of salaries, calls for it to be would intensify. | :06:34. | :06:39. | |
Please provide your support for this crucial moment in history. The | :06:40. | :06:45. | |
message had got through, the measures adopted. The five men than | :06:46. | :06:49. | |
prepared to make their final pitches. But as ever, an element of | :06:50. | :06:56. | |
controversy, demonstrators gathering to oppose the favourite Sheikh | :06:57. | :07:00. | |
Salman. The Bahrain Royal has had to deny links to a crackdown on | :07:01. | :07:06. | |
pro-democracy protesters in 2011, unsurprisingly no mention of that in | :07:07. | :07:12. | |
his speech. We've had to act responsibly, not just as an | :07:13. | :07:16. | |
executive committee but with confederations and National | :07:17. | :07:18. | |
associations to do what's best for the whole of Fifa. The survival of | :07:19. | :07:24. | |
Fifa. Jenny Infantino meanwhile of Europe's governing body you wafer | :07:25. | :07:30. | |
tried it traditional tactic -- Gianni Infantino. The money of Fifa | :07:31. | :07:36. | |
is your money. It's not the money of the Fifa and and. And so did the | :07:37. | :07:41. | |
moment of truth. Fifa's choice going right to the wire. Total number of | :07:42. | :07:50. | |
votes for Gianni Infantino, 115. Having picked up supporters from the | :07:51. | :07:55. | |
remaining candidates, Infantino sealed a sensational victory. Fifa | :07:56. | :08:00. | |
had chosen its new president. I want to work with all of you together. | :08:01. | :08:05. | |
With all of you in order to restore and rebuild a new era in Fifa, a new | :08:06. | :08:11. | |
era where we can put a game football. In the centre of the | :08:12. | :08:18. | |
stage. Infantino may have been the last man to enter this presidential | :08:19. | :08:22. | |
race but he's now football 's most powerful figure, his task to restore | :08:23. | :08:26. | |
trust in Fifa's battered reputation and to prove he has a future. | :08:27. | :08:29. | |
Earlier I've I think he is a talented | :08:30. | :08:52. | |
administrator. He's gone through all of the stages of everything in Uefa. | :08:53. | :08:59. | |
He represents a new generation of dedicated, professional, talented | :09:00. | :09:04. | |
people. He has a huge responsibility on his shoulders. This is a defining | :09:05. | :09:11. | |
moment for football. I think the next 90 days will be crucial. It | :09:12. | :09:16. | |
will have to prove that actions speak louder than words and he has | :09:17. | :09:21. | |
to prove that football is now committed, United, working hard to | :09:22. | :09:29. | |
turn a new page. The head of the FA Greg Dyke said it wasn't so | :09:30. | :09:34. | |
important he was president, it was the reforms that were absolutely | :09:35. | :09:41. | |
essential. Mr Infantino described them as ground-breaking reforms, are | :09:42. | :09:45. | |
they? I think they are extremely important reforms. They are in the | :09:46. | :09:50. | |
right direction but will not solve all the problems. Greg is right in a | :09:51. | :09:54. | |
way, providential leaders do not exist. This isn't just about Fifa, | :09:55. | :10:00. | |
this is about the whole of football. It's about the whole sport. The | :10:01. | :10:06. | |
challenge to the sport is monumental. This is a dim mining -- | :10:07. | :10:13. | |
this is a defining moment. They do not have the jurisdiction to tackle | :10:14. | :10:18. | |
these problems which are complex, increasingly sophisticated, global | :10:19. | :10:22. | |
and quite often involving criminal infiltration. This requires a united | :10:23. | :10:28. | |
front to quote the UK Prime Minister, United front against all | :10:29. | :10:34. | |
the threats that endangered the governance of such a sport. It is | :10:35. | :10:40. | |
interesting because the world players union weren't happy with | :10:41. | :10:46. | |
this appointment and in terms of the reforms, they said the reforms would | :10:47. | :10:53. | |
increase the power for Fifa's 209 members associations which is part | :10:54. | :10:56. | |
of the whole problem. I think they're right. What has been | :10:57. | :11:05. | |
required, is to have an enhanced representative democracy, meaning | :11:06. | :11:08. | |
that the key stakeholders including leagues, clubs, players and other | :11:09. | :11:17. | |
legitimate parties who have an important voice in sport, they | :11:18. | :11:20. | |
should be represented in the decision-making structures. Not just | :11:21. | :11:24. | |
to be consulted once in a while. Voting has closed in it wrong. | :11:25. | :11:41. | |
Ballots are now being counted after polling stations remained open more | :11:42. | :11:45. | |
than five hours. At least 14 people are reported to have been killed in | :11:46. | :11:51. | |
two huge explosions in Mogadishu. Ouch about said attacks -- Tim | :11:52. | :12:01. | |
Willcox one -- temp macro one have said they have committed the | :12:02. | :12:07. | |
attacks. The population of Japan has shrunk by nearly 1 million people in | :12:08. | :12:09. | |
the last five years. It's the first decline | :12:10. | :12:13. | |
registered since 1920, though demographers predicted | :12:14. | :12:14. | |
the trend long ago, citing Japan's falling birth rate and | :12:15. | :12:16. | |
a lack of immigration. The main opposition group in Syria | :12:17. | :12:21. | |
has said that almost 100 rebel groups, including factions | :12:22. | :12:24. | |
from the Free Syrian Army, have signed up to a temporary | :12:25. | :12:26. | |
cessation of hostilities, President Putin has again said that, | :12:27. | :12:28. | |
despite the partial ceasefire, there'll be no let-up in Moscow's | :12:29. | :12:34. | |
air strikes against what Russia It's been five long years of civil | :12:35. | :12:36. | |
war, leaving a quarter 4 million Syrians have fled | :12:37. | :12:45. | |
the country, and much of Syria today This ceasefire offers hope | :12:46. | :12:50. | |
of an end, but no one thinks it We are all aware of the many | :12:51. | :12:55. | |
potential pitfalls, and there are plenty | :12:56. | :13:05. | |
of reasons for scepticism. But history would judge us harshly | :13:06. | :13:09. | |
if we did not do our part in at least trying to end this | :13:10. | :13:14. | |
terrible conflict with diplomacy. There are simply too many opposing | :13:15. | :13:18. | |
factions for complete consensus. Vladimir Putin said today | :13:19. | :13:22. | |
the ceasefire doesn't apply to the group's Isil and other | :13:23. | :13:29. | |
terrorist organisations recognised He said the resolute | :13:30. | :13:33. | |
fight against them would The West backs the various | :13:34. | :13:42. | |
opposition groups, But on the ground, there | :13:43. | :14:00. | |
are sceptical voices. TRANSLATION: If they really wanted | :14:01. | :14:05. | |
a ceasefire, if they were really friends of the Syrian | :14:06. | :14:09. | |
people and wanted to help, they would first take | :14:10. | :14:12. | |
out the regime, and all Representatives of the 17 nation | :14:13. | :14:28. | |
group backing this process are to meet in Geneva today. It can't come | :14:29. | :14:32. | |
soon enough for the Syrian people whose suffering has intensified in | :14:33. | :14:37. | |
recent weeks as an apparent land grab takes place at head of this | :14:38. | :14:41. | |
deal. Aid efforts are struggling to cope. As we do more every day in | :14:42. | :14:47. | |
this country and as we have constructive relationship with all | :14:48. | :14:55. | |
sides in that conflict, we see needs growing and growing. The gap between | :14:56. | :15:01. | |
the needs and what we are able to do is increasing by the day. What has | :15:02. | :15:06. | |
largely become a proxy war perhaps does need a proxy ceasefire. All the | :15:07. | :15:13. | |
main powers are, publicly at least, behind this deal. As President Obama | :15:14. | :15:17. | |
warns, the world will be watching whether it holds. Still to come: as | :15:18. | :15:28. | |
actors go insert boot of -- as actors go in pursuit of Oscar glory, | :15:29. | :15:32. | |
we have a look at the glitz and glamour of Hollywood's biggest | :15:33. | :15:43. | |
night. Three brothers who sexually abused girls in the town of | :15:44. | :15:48. | |
Rotherham have been jailed for a total of 79 years. They were found | :15:49. | :15:52. | |
guilty along with three others. Detective Chief Inspector Martin | :15:53. | :15:58. | |
Tait gives his reaction to our correspondent Dan Johnson. I'm | :15:59. | :16:03. | |
really pleased for the victims. The vast majority of victims were in | :16:04. | :16:07. | |
court. Emotions were high. Robert blew the most intense and emotional | :16:08. | :16:12. | |
day I've had in Crown Court and will for a long time. How far does this | :16:13. | :16:17. | |
result go towards rebuilding the reputation of your force? I hope | :16:18. | :16:22. | |
it's the first step. I'm not seeking to defend anything that's happened | :16:23. | :16:26. | |
in the past. This investigation was about gathering evidence. As police | :16:27. | :16:30. | |
officers we wake up every single day wanting to put criminals and | :16:31. | :16:32. | |
paedophiles in prison. The latest headlines: the US | :16:33. | :16:47. | |
Republican presidential hopeful Donald Trump has won the backing of | :16:48. | :16:51. | |
the New Jersey Governor Chris Christie. Fifa's newly elected | :16:52. | :16:56. | |
President Gianni Infantino has promised to restore the image of | :16:57. | :17:02. | |
football 's world governing body. Three British tourists have been | :17:03. | :17:05. | |
killed while climbing waterfalls in Vietnam with an unauthorised tour | :17:06. | :17:14. | |
guide. The Datanla waterfalls in the south of the country. It's unclear | :17:15. | :17:20. | |
exactly how they died. No one is sure yet how the three British | :17:21. | :17:24. | |
tourists died. Officials say their bodies were discovered near the foot | :17:25. | :17:28. | |
of a popular waterfall and were then lifted up by rescue workers. A local | :17:29. | :17:32. | |
man believed to have been guiding them has been questioned by police. | :17:33. | :17:37. | |
This evening one of them has been named as 24-year-old Christian | :17:38. | :17:40. | |
Sloan. Family and friends said they are devastated. The accident are | :17:41. | :17:49. | |
heard -- the accident occurred and the Foreign Office said: | :17:50. | :18:01. | |
there's an implicit danger in the waterfalls surrounding you man-made | :18:02. | :18:09. | |
lake. You're very mossy rock, a lot of dampness and to be truthful, | :18:10. | :18:15. | |
Vietnam's doesn't have a fantastic reputation for tourism safety. The | :18:16. | :18:18. | |
tourism industry has grown rapidly in Vietnam's as the economy has been | :18:19. | :18:27. | |
opened up. Visitors come to enjoy attractions that was the year is | :18:28. | :18:29. | |
little known because of the roles that ravaged this country -- the | :18:30. | :18:35. | |
wars that ravaged this country. It's no surprise Vietnam's racing to cash | :18:36. | :18:38. | |
in on the tourist boom that has brought a much wealth to countries | :18:39. | :18:44. | |
like Thailand. Every year dozens of Britons die here from largely | :18:45. | :18:48. | |
preventable accidents. It's a sad truth that across much of this | :18:49. | :18:52. | |
region, law enforcement is lax and a culture of safety almost | :18:53. | :19:01. | |
nonexistent. Now the latest sports news. Good evening. The six Nations | :19:02. | :19:08. | |
is back tonight after a week. Wales and France are playing in Cardiff at | :19:09. | :19:12. | |
this moment, both sides unbeaten in the tournament so far. It looks like | :19:13. | :19:21. | |
it's going to be five matches in a row. A George North try meaning they | :19:22. | :19:27. | |
lead 16-3 in Cardiff. Liverpool have been drawn to face Manchester United | :19:28. | :19:30. | |
in the last 16 of the rebel league. One of English football 's biggest | :19:31. | :19:33. | |
rivalries will be played out in Europe for the first time over two | :19:34. | :19:39. | |
legs next month. The second leg will be paid at Old Trafford. Can I get | :19:40. | :19:44. | |
your reaction to the Raper league draw? | :19:45. | :19:47. | |
my staff asked me yesterday, who do you want and I said Manchester | :19:48. | :20:10. | |
United. Did Tottenham get who they wanted? | :20:11. | :20:19. | |
Other highlights include Valencia. Manchester city manager Manuel | :20:20. | :20:29. | |
Pellegrini may have the League Cup final to look forward to on Sunday. | :20:30. | :20:33. | |
He's been talking about another trophy today, the FA Cup. He said | :20:34. | :20:43. | |
the format must change. One of the important reasons that we won the | :20:44. | :20:48. | |
title of the Premier League is because... I'm sure this will be the | :20:49. | :20:53. | |
last year. They need to make the change. The format of that cup | :20:54. | :21:00. | |
damages the Premier League and the Champions League. I'm sure they will | :21:01. | :21:06. | |
change it. Top of the Premier League, Leicester City. Claudio | :21:07. | :21:09. | |
Ranieri said their next five matches are the most important of their | :21:10. | :21:13. | |
season. The league leaders have five games in two weeks against teams no | :21:14. | :21:17. | |
higher than ninth in the table and Claudio Ranieri thinks the race of | :21:18. | :21:21. | |
the title is still anyone's. We have to fight against those who are very | :21:22. | :21:27. | |
close to the relegation. Against teams who want to go to Europe, want | :21:28. | :21:32. | |
to go to the Premier League. Then there is a very good battle now. A | :21:33. | :21:35. | |
very good Premier League this season, because nobody can say yes, | :21:36. | :21:43. | |
that's it. I think it's very interesting. Scott Quigg and Carl | :21:44. | :21:49. | |
Frampton held their staff over a minute during a feisty way in ahead | :21:50. | :21:54. | |
of tomorrow nights superbantamweight unification fight at the Manchester | :21:55. | :21:58. | |
Arena. There's no love lost between them as you're about to see. As | :21:59. | :22:03. | |
Scott Quigg was geeing up supporters, he was mocked by | :22:04. | :22:10. | |
Frampton. The bout will take place on Saturday night. Finally, ball | :22:11. | :22:16. | |
boys and ball girls beware, you could soon be out of a job. The | :22:17. | :22:21. | |
employment theft comes from the unlikeliest of sources, man's best | :22:22. | :22:29. | |
friend. Dogs retrieve tennis balls at the Brazil open on Thursday. It | :22:30. | :22:34. | |
was promoted by a collaboration of charitable organisations hoping the | :22:35. | :22:37. | |
stunt will attract more people to adopt dogs. It is still 16-3 to | :22:38. | :22:42. | |
Wales in the six nations. It's the Oscars this weekend, | :22:43. | :22:52. | |
Hollywood's biggest event But the lack of diversity | :22:53. | :22:54. | |
in the nominations for this year's Academy Awards has been heavily | :22:55. | :22:57. | |
criticised by some in the movie Some black actors say | :22:58. | :23:00. | |
they will boycott the Oscars and the civil rights activist | :23:01. | :23:03. | |
Reverend Al Sharpton will be staging So many things define the Oscars - | :23:04. | :23:06. | |
the glamorous red carpet, the coveted golden statuettes, | :23:07. | :23:11. | |
and this year the all-white list More than that, there's a perceived | :23:12. | :23:15. | |
overall lack of diversity. Y'all just got a snapshot of how | :23:16. | :23:20. | |
Americans really feel. One film of many believe | :23:21. | :23:23. | |
was overlooked, the story of the birth of rap group NWA, | :23:24. | :23:26. | |
Straight Outta Compton. # Snoop Doggy Dogg and Dr | :23:27. | :23:31. | |
Dre is at the door... # One of the musicians featured | :23:32. | :23:34. | |
in the film says the make-up of Academy Awards | :23:35. | :23:36. | |
voters is the problem. I feel like the Oscars | :23:37. | :23:39. | |
wasn't made for us. It's just those old generation, | :23:40. | :23:41. | |
first-generation people in there that really don't get it, | :23:42. | :23:43. | |
they don't understand the dynamics of the world that they're living in, | :23:44. | :23:46. | |
but the people from, you know, I say, 50 years | :23:47. | :23:49. | |
old on down, they get it, because they're living in a world | :23:50. | :23:51. | |
where it's diverse and everybody The Academy knows it's crucial | :23:52. | :23:54. | |
to the awards' credibility that they're seen as being relevant | :23:55. | :23:58. | |
to modern audiences. That's been seriously | :23:59. | :24:02. | |
threatened by the reaction The Academy has planned to counter | :24:03. | :24:04. | |
that by replacing significant numbers of older members who haven't | :24:05. | :24:09. | |
been active in the industry He is angered by the the way | :24:10. | :24:12. | |
they want to increase diversity at the expense of | :24:13. | :24:21. | |
long-standing voters. I wouldn't want to be put | :24:22. | :24:25. | |
into a category that To nurture the talent, | :24:26. | :24:28. | |
I'm all for it. But to bring them in | :24:29. | :24:33. | |
because of their race is wrong, or their sex, or their | :24:34. | :24:37. | |
beliefs, that's wrong. Now, who chooses the talent is not | :24:38. | :24:39. | |
the academy, as I said before, The studios often cast black actors | :24:40. | :24:46. | |
in somewhat cliched roles like drug Perhaps the industry can follow | :24:47. | :24:54. | |
the lead of Star Wars. They chose the relatively unknown | :24:55. | :24:59. | |
black actor John Boyega in a role that could have been | :25:00. | :25:03. | |
played by any ethnicity. How important is it that the studios | :25:04. | :25:06. | |
should follow suit from what you did I think it's inevitable, | :25:07. | :25:09. | |
and I think it is critical, and I feel like it was just | :25:10. | :25:13. | |
important to me, to all of us working on the movie, | :25:14. | :25:16. | |
that the movie be inclusive. Whatever the eventual outcome, | :25:17. | :25:21. | |
the Academy, the film industry and the public are united on one | :25:22. | :25:23. | |
thing - they want the discussion around next year's Oscars | :25:24. | :25:27. | |
and beyond to not be about who the voters are, but to be | :25:28. | :25:30. | |
purely about the films themselves. Breaking news from the UN Security | :25:31. | :25:50. | |
Council in New York. Throwing its weight behind that ceasefire | :25:51. | :25:54. | |
agreement for Syria, demanding it be upheld. The council unanimously | :25:55. | :25:58. | |
adopting the resolution drafted by Russia and the United States. | :25:59. | :26:09. | |
Think you could tune in into our world weather round-up. I thought I | :26:10. | :26:15. | |
would take you to south-western parts of Europe where the weather | :26:16. | :26:18. | |
went be too great during parts | :26:19. | :26:19. |
