This is tet-mac one -- World News Today. | :00:07. | :00:11. | |
A mystery over the death of one of President Putin's top aides | :00:12. | :00:14. | |
Mikhail Lesin's family says his death last year was a heart | :00:15. | :00:18. | |
attack but US officials now say he was killed by a blow | :00:19. | :00:21. | |
The IAAF says five countries are in "critical care" | :00:22. | :00:27. | |
over their drug testing systems with just months to go before | :00:28. | :00:30. | |
Five years on - Japan remembers the devastating earthquake | :00:31. | :00:33. | |
and tsunami that triggered the Fukushima nuclear meltdown. | :00:34. | :00:35. | |
Having his support adds total credence to what I am trying to do. | :00:36. | :00:41. | |
From throwing insults to hugs all round. | :00:42. | :00:46. | |
We'll look back at the relationship between Ben Carson and | :00:47. | :00:49. | |
Russia has demanded information from the United States | :00:50. | :01:05. | |
about the death of a former key ally of President Putin, | :01:06. | :01:10. | |
in a hotel in Washington last November. | :01:11. | :01:14. | |
US medical officials say Mikhail Lesin died from blunt force | :01:15. | :01:17. | |
injuries to the head, not a heart attack as initially reported. | :01:18. | :01:22. | |
Lesin also suffered injuries to the neck, | :01:23. | :01:24. | |
torso, arms and legs and there's reports he may have been assaulted | :01:25. | :01:27. | |
He was a former press minister and key | :01:28. | :01:37. | |
media advisor to President Putin, nicknamed "The Bulldozer" | :01:38. | :01:39. | |
for his crack down on media freedoms in Russia. | :01:40. | :01:41. | |
Let's get more from our Washington correspondent. | :01:42. | :01:44. | |
Mikhail Lesin was nicknamed the bulldozer. He was a member of what | :01:45. | :01:53. | |
you put in's inner circle and was once the press Minister, before | :01:54. | :01:58. | |
going on to find this TV station in Russia. In 2014, he retired and | :01:59. | :02:05. | |
moved to America's West Coast. Then, last November, Mikhail Lesin was | :02:06. | :02:10. | |
found dead. He was discovered at this hotel in Washington, DC. A, his | :02:11. | :02:17. | |
former news network RTE reported his family said he died of a heart | :02:18. | :02:26. | |
attack. -- RT. But the Washington, DC medical examiner said the cause | :02:27. | :02:30. | |
of death was... The other causes well... The manner of death was | :02:31. | :02:41. | |
undetermined. This latest development raises more questions | :02:42. | :02:45. | |
than answers. Most of top Tis A Beauty did in 90 days, so why did | :02:46. | :02:48. | |
this take so much longer? One newspaper reports that Mikhail Lesin | :02:49. | :02:54. | |
was involved in an altercation before retiring to his room. So how | :02:55. | :03:01. | |
did he die? In what seems like a very ordinary crime scene, the | :03:02. | :03:05. | |
circumstances around this man's death are anything but. Before he | :03:06. | :03:09. | |
died, he was being investigated by the FBI for money laundering and | :03:10. | :03:14. | |
corruption. As police in Washington continue enquiries, the Russian | :03:15. | :03:16. | |
Government is demanding more information from US authorities. So | :03:17. | :03:22. | |
far, officially at least, there are no suspects, motives or concrete | :03:23. | :03:27. | |
clues as to why a one-time aide to Vladimir Putin met an untimely and | :03:28. | :03:28. | |
brutal death. The International Association | :03:29. | :03:32. | |
of Athletics Federations, the IAAF, says its needs more time | :03:33. | :03:34. | |
to investigate Russia's anti-doping progress before this year's | :03:35. | :03:37. | |
Olympic Games in Rio. But it says the country | :03:38. | :03:40. | |
will not yet be reinstated Our sports correspondent | :03:41. | :03:42. | |
reports now. With the Rio Olympics under five | :03:43. | :04:00. | |
months away, the question of Russian athlete competing at the games | :04:01. | :04:01. | |
remained in the balance. The IAAF ruling received an update | :04:02. | :04:02. | |
from a task force charged with assessing whether Russia | :04:03. | :04:05. | |
is cleaning up its act, after evidence of widespread | :04:06. | :04:07. | |
state-sponsored doping was revealed The president of the IAAF revealed | :04:08. | :04:25. | |
the sheer scale of the task at hand. This is not a numbers game. I am not | :04:26. | :04:30. | |
here to be judged on how many athletes I can get to an Olympic | :04:31. | :04:34. | |
Games. I am yet to be judged on how mini athletes I can get from safe, | :04:35. | :04:40. | |
secure systems into free, fair and open competition. And that has to be | :04:41. | :04:46. | |
the sole arbiter. The final decision will be made on me but IAAF | :04:47. | :04:50. | |
officials warned that there are still significant things to be done | :04:51. | :04:54. | |
by Russia if they are to be readmitted to international | :04:55. | :05:02. | |
competitions. The US Government has intensified its attack on Apple over | :05:03. | :05:12. | |
refusing to help investigators. In a legal filing released on Thursday, | :05:13. | :05:15. | |
the Government made the point that Apple has previously held the | :05:16. | :05:17. | |
Chinese Government demands for iPhone data. | :05:18. | :05:28. | |
giant cooperated there, because China is such a huge | :05:29. | :05:31. | |
In its brief, the US Department of Justice said "As well as | :05:32. | :05:35. | |
providing data from nearly 4,000 iPhones to Chinese authorities, | :05:36. | :05:38. | |
Apple appears to have made special accommodations in China. | :05:39. | :05:40. | |
For example, moving Chinese user data to Chinese government servers, | :05:41. | :05:42. | |
and installing a different WiFi protocol for Chinese iPhones". | :05:43. | :05:48. | |
Apple's lawyer Bruce Sewell called the DoJ's brief a "cheap shot..." | :05:49. | :05:51. | |
Speculation based on no substance at all". | :05:52. | :05:54. | |
He said the brief "reads like an indictment. | :05:55. | :05:56. | |
Intended to smear the other side with false accusations | :05:57. | :05:58. | |
The correspondent is in Washington and has been following the fallout | :05:59. | :06:12. | |
closely. It is really intensify now. Yes, indeed. It is quite | :06:13. | :06:18. | |
entertaining to watch, actually. How much scope as the claims of the | :06:19. | :06:22. | |
Department of Justice God? What do we know about Apple's dealings with | :06:23. | :06:28. | |
China and exchange of data? The truth is, we do not explicitly | :06:29. | :06:32. | |
know what they have done to comply with Chinese laws. But what we do | :06:33. | :06:38. | |
know is that there is a very extensive patchwork of regulations | :06:39. | :06:41. | |
that smartphone companies have to comply with in order to operate in | :06:42. | :06:46. | |
China. Essentially, there are three layers of regulations. The first | :06:47. | :06:52. | |
being regulations from the Ministry of technology that requires | :06:53. | :06:57. | |
extensive audits compliant with Chinese standards. The second layer | :06:58. | :07:04. | |
is various surveillance regulations from the Ministry of Public | :07:05. | :07:09. | |
Security, requiring companies to facilitate access and decryption on | :07:10. | :07:16. | |
various technology platforms. And the third being bespoke requirements | :07:17. | :07:24. | |
that smartphone vendor is quite frankly have to comply with in order | :07:25. | :07:28. | |
to connect with mobile networks in China. These companies are all | :07:29. | :07:35. | |
state-owned. The unspoken rule is that, essentially, any types of | :07:36. | :07:38. | |
regulations that the Chinese Government does not explicitly want | :07:39. | :07:45. | |
to create in law, they achieved through contractual agreements and | :07:46. | :07:48. | |
state-owned mobile network operators, like China Telecom and | :07:49. | :07:57. | |
others. As you this is not just about an iPhone belonging to a | :07:58. | :08:03. | |
Government, this is about international strategy and policies | :08:04. | :08:06. | |
amongst many governments who want to know more about what view, potential | :08:07. | :08:12. | |
terror suspects and other criminals or two. Precisely. The Chinese | :08:13. | :08:17. | |
Government have similar concerns. If you look at the size of the China | :08:18. | :08:24. | |
market, it is the number one largest mobile, smartphone market in the | :08:25. | :08:29. | |
world. Number two is India, in fact, which just surpassed the US last | :08:30. | :08:34. | |
month. Number three is the United States. The Apple CEO Tim Cook has | :08:35. | :08:40. | |
explicitly said that China is Apple's future. If they wish to sell | :08:41. | :08:46. | |
products in China and access that market, I assume they will have to | :08:47. | :08:49. | |
find a way to comply with Chinese laws. Thank you for speaking to us | :08:50. | :08:51. | |
here. Five years ago today, | :08:52. | :08:57. | |
an earthquake and the tsunami it triggered | :08:58. | :09:06. | |
devastated communities along 18,000 | :09:07. | :09:07. | |
people lost their lives, and the nuclear power plant | :09:08. | :09:11. | |
at Fukushima went into meltdown. Today commemorative events have been | :09:12. | :09:13. | |
taking place, including a ceremony in Tokyo at the exact hour | :09:14. | :09:16. | |
the earthquake struck. Our correspondent Rupert | :09:17. | :09:18. | |
Wingfield-Hayes reports. And the sounds of buildings | :09:19. | :09:25. | |
being crushed, of the terror of those watching, their homes | :09:26. | :09:35. | |
being swallowed by the waters. For too many, there | :09:36. | :09:40. | |
was no time to escape. Today in the ravaged | :09:41. | :09:56. | |
city, the sirens sounded It was in memory of the 18,000 who | :09:57. | :09:58. | |
died. These people are looking | :09:59. | :10:06. | |
for the spot their house When the sirens sounded | :10:07. | :10:08. | |
that day, their father rushed to help evacuating | :10:09. | :10:12. | |
people near the coast. I think it is our duty as survivors | :10:13. | :10:13. | |
to show the world how dear life is. Even with classmates | :10:14. | :10:37. | |
who have also lost TRANSLATION: If we talk about it, | :10:38. | :10:41. | |
I feel down. I sometimes want to know | :10:42. | :10:51. | |
what my friends went When the tsunami swept | :10:52. | :10:55. | |
in here, nearly 2000 people were killed in this one small | :10:56. | :11:04. | |
town, that is nearly Any government's first duty | :11:05. | :11:06. | |
is to protect its people and it is not | :11:07. | :11:13. | |
surprising that this Massive new walls like this | :11:14. | :11:14. | |
will stretch for 250 miles The whole landscape is being | :11:15. | :11:20. | |
re-engineered to make it safe But after five years, | :11:21. | :11:23. | |
this woman is waiting for a plot of land | :11:24. | :11:37. | |
with growing frustration. I sometimes think we would be much | :11:38. | :11:39. | |
better off if we left here after the tsunami and started | :11:40. | :11:42. | |
a new life somewhere else. We have waited so long | :11:43. | :11:44. | |
to rebuild our lives. In what was once their front | :11:45. | :11:54. | |
garden, they have found They decide to dig it up | :11:55. | :11:57. | |
to plant in their new house. The former candidate in the race | :11:58. | :12:10. | |
for the Republican presidential nomination, Ben Carson, | :12:11. | :12:12. | |
has pledged his support Mr Carson, who is a retired | :12:13. | :12:14. | |
neurosurgeon, becomes the second former rival to back the billionaire | :12:15. | :12:19. | |
businessman in the race Mr Carson made the announcement | :12:20. | :12:22. | |
at a joint news conference with Mr Trump in Florida, | :12:23. | :12:29. | |
ahead of the state's primary But were these two always | :12:30. | :12:32. | |
on such good terms? Let's take a look back over | :12:33. | :12:38. | |
the makings of what could be Today is something very, very | :12:39. | :12:40. | |
special because Doctor Ben Carson He went after his | :12:41. | :12:45. | |
mother with a hammer. He hit a friend of | :12:46. | :12:50. | |
his in the face with He took a knife and he went | :12:51. | :12:52. | |
after a friend and he lunged. Everybody loves him and truly, | :12:53. | :12:59. | |
truly admires what he has I don't want a person that's got | :13:00. | :13:05. | |
a pathological disease. His life has been | :13:06. | :13:11. | |
an incredible life. I just want to tell | :13:12. | :13:16. | |
you that having his support adds total credence | :13:17. | :13:23. | |
to what I'm trying to do. If you are pathological, | :13:24. | :13:25. | |
there is no cure. If you are a child molester, | :13:26. | :13:27. | |
a sick puppy, a child There is only one cure and we do not | :13:28. | :13:29. | |
want to talk about that. Some people said, why | :13:30. | :13:37. | |
would you get a hand I have come to know Donald Trump | :13:38. | :13:47. | |
over the last few years. He is actually a very intelligent | :13:48. | :13:55. | |
man who cares deeply What do you have to say | :13:56. | :13:58. | |
about Donald Trump? Here is what I would | :13:59. | :14:04. | |
say - now that he has completed his attacks, | :14:05. | :14:07. | |
why don't we press on and deal He said terrible things about you, | :14:08. | :14:09. | |
how can you support him? That was political stuff and, | :14:10. | :14:13. | |
you know, that happens Politics of personal destruction, | :14:14. | :14:19. | |
that is what people are tired of. I am hopeful that at some point | :14:20. | :14:33. | |
we reach the level of maturity that we can deal with the issues | :14:34. | :14:36. | |
that are facing us right now. We are moving on because it is not | :14:37. | :14:39. | |
about me, it is not about Mr Trump, How stupid are the people | :14:40. | :14:43. | |
to believe this crap? We thought you would find that | :14:44. | :14:56. | |
interesting. Do stay with us here. We're going live to the US in a | :14:57. | :15:01. | |
moment as the world says goodbye to the former first lady, Nancy Reagan. | :15:02. | :15:11. | |
Boris Johnson has been setting out why he is campaigning for Britain to | :15:12. | :15:16. | |
leave the EU. In his first major speech for the Vote Leave campaign, | :15:17. | :15:19. | |
Mr Johnson said the union was outdated and no-one in their right | :15:20. | :15:23. | |
minds would vote to join now. I know that there are people who say that | :15:24. | :15:29. | |
this country does not have the guts to get out. That we have no choice | :15:30. | :15:38. | |
but to remain. I have to say, I think they are hopelessly | :15:39. | :15:41. | |
underestimating this country of ours and what we can achieve. Because it | :15:42. | :15:47. | |
is precisely because we stayed out of the Euro that we were the most | :15:48. | :15:54. | |
successful economies of Europe. And if we burst into the shackles of | :15:55. | :15:59. | |
Brussels, we will be able to begin immediately with those long, | :16:00. | :16:03. | |
neglected free-trade opportunities that we can do at the moment. -- | :16:04. | :16:11. | |
cannot do. You're watching BBC World News | :16:12. | :16:17. | |
Today. The latest headlines... Russia has demanded information from | :16:18. | :16:20. | |
the US about the death of a former key ally of President Hooton in a | :16:21. | :16:25. | |
hotel in Washington last November. -- resident Vladimir Putin. The IAAF | :16:26. | :16:30. | |
says five countries are in critical care over drug testing systems with | :16:31. | :16:34. | |
just monster goal before the Rio de Janeiro Olympics. -- just months to | :16:35. | :16:46. | |
go. Our chief international | :16:47. | :16:50. | |
correspondent has been covering the sale and conflict from the | :16:51. | :16:53. | |
beginning. Here, she talks to present Assad's media adviser, | :16:54. | :16:57. | |
asking whether this what could have been avoided. | :16:58. | :17:04. | |
It is absolutely not true because I worked here all the way through and | :17:05. | :17:08. | |
I remember from the 24th of March 2011, when the Syrian government | :17:09. | :17:14. | |
announced very important radical reform measures. And every time we | :17:15. | :17:21. | |
started to implement, one after another, the campaign against us, | :17:22. | :17:30. | |
followed by Western media and countries, the campaign got harder | :17:31. | :17:35. | |
and harder on Syria. What happened in Syria certainly is not about | :17:36. | :17:43. | |
making Syria better. Because if you ask any Syrian person anywhere, and | :17:44. | :17:48. | |
you know the people here, Syria is much better off five years ago than | :17:49. | :17:54. | |
now. What happened destroyed Syria and the Syrian people, not making | :17:55. | :18:01. | |
Syria better place for the Syrians. Now with the Russian, political and | :18:02. | :18:08. | |
moral support, do you feel... The Russian military support to fight | :18:09. | :18:13. | |
terrorism and restore peace and security. It is only when the | :18:14. | :18:21. | |
Russians came that the terrorist oil tanks were attacked and destroyed. | :18:22. | :18:28. | |
Well the so-called international coalition led by the United States | :18:29. | :18:33. | |
never destroyed anything from these oil tanks that were crossing Syria | :18:34. | :18:43. | |
to Turkey and Europe. So I think history will show the effort from | :18:44. | :18:49. | |
the Russian Government, this huge effort, against terrorism and in | :18:50. | :18:53. | |
favour not only of peace in Syria but of peace in Europe, of peace in | :18:54. | :18:58. | |
the world. Because terrorism is a threat to all of us, particularly to | :18:59. | :19:03. | |
Europe. And I think Russia is offering a service to Europe by | :19:04. | :19:10. | |
fighting terrorism in Syria. But the Russian intervention also turned the | :19:11. | :19:14. | |
tide for President Assad's forces. You now feel that the war is on your | :19:15. | :19:19. | |
side? There is no such thing as those forces. There is the Syrian | :19:20. | :19:26. | |
army that is defending the Syrian people and fighting terrorism and | :19:27. | :19:28. | |
this is where the Russian help is coming. Fascinating stuff. President | :19:29. | :19:34. | |
Assad's media adviser speaking to our correspondent. Let's catch up | :19:35. | :19:39. | |
with the world's sport. Premier League side Newcastle United | :19:40. | :19:43. | |
have a new man in charge. The former Liverpool, Chelsea and Real Madrid | :19:44. | :19:47. | |
manager Rafa Benitez has signed a three-year contract after the club | :19:48. | :19:53. | |
sacked Steve McClaren early today. Newcastle are currently 19th in the | :19:54. | :19:57. | |
Premier League and the Spaniard's first match in charge will be | :19:58. | :20:00. | |
against Leicester City on Monday. Not easy. | :20:01. | :20:05. | |
Rafael Benitez began this season at Real Madrid and ends it facing one | :20:06. | :20:11. | |
of his biggest challenges. Newcastle and in the bottom three and lost a | :20:12. | :20:14. | |
Bournemouth at the weekend. When it is is their last talk. The type of | :20:15. | :20:22. | |
manager years, the players will react. -- he is. They will play | :20:23. | :20:27. | |
better and play for. If he stays with us next season, we could climb | :20:28. | :20:30. | |
the table hire, if you've given the money to bring in players he wants. | :20:31. | :20:35. | |
Fantastic. They guy has a lot of stature. Probably one of the best | :20:36. | :20:42. | |
since Sir Bobby. Very happy. Benitez has won the FA Cup Spanish league | :20:43. | :20:47. | |
and Champions League. The as the CV but the job description is | :20:48. | :20:51. | |
demanding. Newcastle's mix of external passion and internal | :20:52. | :20:55. | |
politics make it one of football's toughest jobs. Despite spending over | :20:56. | :20:59. | |
?80 million on players, they went out of the FA Cup in the third run | :21:00. | :21:04. | |
and have won just six league games all season. That cost Steve McClaren | :21:05. | :21:08. | |
his first level jobs since being sacked as international manager. He | :21:09. | :21:11. | |
had one week in limbo as his position was discussed by the board. | :21:12. | :21:16. | |
Few managers hang around long here. Benitez will be the eighth manager | :21:17. | :21:20. | |
since Mike Ashley bought the club, not counting caretakers. All the | :21:21. | :21:25. | |
managers appointed by Mike Ashley have been in a position of weakness. | :21:26. | :21:29. | |
Not being able to name terms. Busy not with the transfer system that | :21:30. | :21:32. | |
has not benefited the club of themselves. And other things. But | :21:33. | :21:38. | |
Rafa Benitez can come in, put down exactly what he wants. Benitez will | :21:39. | :21:43. | |
have ten games to keep Newcastle in the Premier League, starting against | :21:44. | :21:47. | |
league leaders Leicester on Monday. If he fails, it is understood there | :21:48. | :21:50. | |
is a break clause in his contract and it is certain that the Spaniard | :21:51. | :21:57. | |
is stepping into a storm. The FA Cup quarterfinals are taking | :21:58. | :21:59. | |
place this weekend and the first match between Championship side | :22:00. | :22:05. | |
reading and Premier League Crystal Palace is under way. It sees Alan | :22:06. | :22:10. | |
Pardew return to his former side. He has not seen that much action so | :22:11. | :22:15. | |
far. Not many chances and there are no goals after one hour of play. | :22:16. | :22:20. | |
Both matches at the 2020 World Cup in India had to be abandoned today | :22:21. | :22:27. | |
because of bad weather. Ireland against Bangladesh at already been | :22:28. | :22:34. | |
delayed before the Bangladeshis... Where that and against them and it | :22:35. | :22:37. | |
means Ireland and the Netherlands are now out of the tournament. | :22:38. | :22:43. | |
Lord Coe, president of the IAAF, says Russia will find out in May if | :22:44. | :22:50. | |
they can send a team to Rio de Janeiro. | :22:51. | :22:58. | |
We unanimously agreed with the recommendation from the task force | :22:59. | :23:04. | |
that they be given more time. Some progress has been made but they want | :23:05. | :23:06. | |
to see significant progress in key areas. Those areas are clear. We | :23:07. | :23:13. | |
have the five step changes be want to see. And the council will welcome | :23:14. | :23:20. | |
the task force back almost certainly in May to report, hopefully, and | :23:21. | :23:26. | |
further progress. That is the sport from now. 0-0 in the FA Cup match. | :23:27. | :23:38. | |
Almost 5000 guests and representatives from former White | :23:39. | :23:42. | |
House families have gathered for the memorial tribute to Nancy Reagan at | :23:43. | :23:45. | |
her husband's residential library in Southern California. Let's get more | :23:46. | :23:51. | |
on this from our correspondent. James, it is a who's Who of the | :23:52. | :23:55. | |
White House but no President Obama, much to the criticism of people on | :23:56. | :24:00. | |
Twitter. That is right. Although, in fairness | :24:01. | :24:05. | |
to President Obama, there is precedents for sitting president is | :24:06. | :24:08. | |
not attending funerals of former first lady 's, not least Ronald | :24:09. | :24:13. | |
Reagan himself. It was notable that he was not there. Also not there, | :24:14. | :24:19. | |
some other significant figures. But the people who were there, perhaps | :24:20. | :24:23. | |
most importantly given the occasion itself, as we can see, where the | :24:24. | :24:40. | |
former first lady is that my -- ladies that the picture there. The | :24:41. | :24:45. | |
women terming it to pay tribute to a first lady tribute two present | :24:46. | :24:51. | |
during a remarkable time in US politics. And as we had in the | :24:52. | :24:56. | |
ceremony, she played a very important part in her husband's | :24:57. | :25:00. | |
decision-making process throughout his time in the White House, for | :25:01. | :25:05. | |
eight years throughout the 1980s. The former chief of staff James | :25:06. | :25:08. | |
Baker spoke about her influence, saying she could be as tough as any | :25:09. | :25:17. | |
Marine drill Sergeant at times. She was also part of a loving | :25:18. | :25:20. | |
partnership with her husband, Ronald Reagan, described by some as the | :25:21. | :25:24. | |
greatest love story in the history of the American presidency. In terms | :25:25. | :25:29. | |
of that historical aspect, it is interesting to hear him note that | :25:30. | :25:33. | |
Nancy Reagan insisted her husband that he would have to negotiate with | :25:34. | :25:36. | |
Mikaeel Kular bridge off, the Soviet leader. -- Mikel Gorbachev. He -- | :25:37. | :25:51. | |
she informed his views. You can see much more on Nancy | :25:52. | :25:54. | |
Reagan's funeral on the BBC News website. That is it from me and the | :25:55. | :25:58. | |
rest of the team. Thank you for watching. | :25:59. | :26:08. | |
We're moving into a very settled spell of weather across most of the | :26:09. | :26:14. | |
UK but what about elsewhere around the world? Settled is not a word you | :26:15. | :26:18. | |
would use of the southern states of the US, particularly Louisiana and | :26:19. | :26:19. | |
Texas, | :26:20. | :26:20. |
