because of high pollution levels. There are fears falling snow could

be dangerously contaminated. Security officials in the US state

of Florida say five people have been killed in a shooting

at Fort Lauderdale The local sheriff said eight

people were also wounded. The gunman is understood to be

in police custody and is believed this scene is considered fluid and

active. One of the more critical pieces of information is we have the

shooter in custody. He is unharmed, nose or enforcement fired any shots.

The subject is being interviewed by a team of FBI agents and Sheriff's

office homicide detectives. That was the local sheriff. Let's get the

latest from Barbara Plett usher in Washington. Some interesting details

have come out, including details on how the shooter may have got hold of

a gun. Yes, the Sheriff you just heard they didn't reveal how the

shooter got the gun over where he came from, but the county

commissioner has said that the shooter was a passenger on a flight

that came from Canada and that he had checked his gun, he claimed his

bag, had gone into the bathroom and loaded it and then came out

shooting. As I said, the showers didn't confirm that the county

Commissioner is the local executive so is probably being briefed by law

enforcement. According to witnesses, the shooter just calmly and quietly

walked through the baggage claim area, firing and reloading his gun

at least once, didn't say anything. People were screaming and running

and trying to hide and panicking and then he was arrested, according to

the Sheriff, without being shot himself and is in custody and as far

as the investigation has discovered and it is very early days yet here,

they say they believe he was the only shooter and they are trying to

find out now whether he was acting alone or whether he was part of an

organisation. We don't know any more about the motive, do we? No

information about that at all. We don't know if it was a loner or

somebody who was mentally disturbed or whether it was a terrorist act.

None of those things, the investigation has revealed so far.

But the FBI have come in to help out the local police. They are now sort

of helping the police but if it looks like it is going to be decided

that it isn't a terrorist attack, the FBI will take over. They haven't

done so at this point, they'll still trying to find out what motivated

this man and whether he was acting alone. About 90 minutes after he was

arrested when things have calmed down, suddenly there was a panic

again with reports of gunfire at another terminal, so you had police

and people running again in panic but the sheriff said that there

hadn't been any other shooter discovered, that there was only one,

there were no other gun fired and nevertheless, you heard him say it

is an active and fluid situation and they are trying to evacuate the

airport and a lot of people still sheltering places, some have landed

and haven't been able to get off so there was a discussion about whether

they should just take off again and land somewhere else, so right now,

there is a big focus on clearing the airport passengers safely and going

through and sweeping it clean and making sure there is no other

threat. Barbara Plett usher, thank you very much.

President elect Donald Trump has released a statement describing

a briefing from senior intelligance officials as "constructive".

Mr Trump has ends a cuddle it suggested the investigation into

hacking is a political witchhunt against him.

He says he will appoint a team to deal with cyber hacking within 90

And he says that while Russia, China and other countries and outside

groups and people are consistently trying to break through the cyber

infrastructure, there was absolutely no effect on the outcome of the

election and no tampering whatsoever with voting machines.

Let's cross live to Washington where we can speak to Katty Kay.

First of all, with this particular statement that Donald Trump has

released, it's not exactly an about-face, is it? Not really. He is

tacitly acknowledging that the Russians, amongst other countries,

Russia, China and other countries, are consistently trying to break

through our cyber defences, so he is acknowledging that there has been

outsider tampering and he also says very firmly that this didn't affect

the outcome of the American election and he says that America needs to

control aggressively itself against cyber attacks like this, so in a way

it is a tacit acknowledgement that Russia was involved in hacking, but

not an outright condemnation of Moscow, which is, of course, where

other Republicans, Democrats, Hillary Clinton and indeed the US

intelligence services themselves have been heading. There is also

this report that we expected would come out next week, that has now

emerged and there are details. Tell us about that and whether it is in

line with this Donald Trump statement. I have just got that and

we are reading it right now. This is the declassified version of the

report Donald Trump was given access to today up in Trump Tower and, of

course, the administration has already seen as well. This is the

report that has been drawn up by the US intelligence services on the

hacking of the American presidential election. They have given us access

to their key findings and the most interest is -- interesting is they

are saying the Russian goal was to undermine public faith and denigrate

Secretary Clinton and harm her electability. So they are saying the

Russians deliberately targeted Secretary Clinton and they are

associating this with President Putin and the Russian Government. So

I think what we have seen from them is in line really with what we heard

in news reports last night that the Russians did this, that this went to

the Russian Government and it was an active effort to hamper Hillary

Clinton's chances of winning the US presidential election. You have been

speaking to outgoing Secretary of State John Kerry and he said... He

had a bit to say about this issue, tell us about that. Earlier today,

Donald Trump had said, again, dismissed the idea really that there

was so much attention on the Russian hacking of the election and I asked

him about what he thought about Donald Trump's reaction to this

whole affair. We have an extraordinary professional

intelligence community. The men and women who work every day to give us

information are patriots and hard workers and some of them sometimes,

in many different ways, are doing things in places of great risk, in

order that we can be informed and make decisions. I think a DNI

Clapper could not have spoken more clearly, he said that healthy

disparagement is a good thing and disparagement is not and he felt it

fell on the side of disparagement, so he has spoken to this

administration and I will leave it on that. Where does this leave us

all know? I think what John Kerry was referring to there and what is

critical here is what is going to be Donald Trump's relationship now with

US intelligence services? Because as director Clapper had suggested, the

intelligence services do feel they have been denigrated by Donald

Trump. There is going to be a crisis that hits the Trump administration

on the foreign policy front, it is almost bound to happen at some point

during his presidency and he will need those intelligence services to

provide analysis and provide ideas on how to keep America safe and I

think that is the concern that some people in the intelligence services

have here, that to come into the administration having created so

much bad blood between intelligence officers and the new president isn't

in this country's interests, it doesn't provide the best working

relationship and it doesn't mean that Donald Trump is going to be

getting the best advice from those intelligence services, so this is

defining issue. Donald Trump's transition in the weeks running up

to his inauguration are being dominated by this hacking story and

how he is handling it and the intelligence services and it puts

the CIA and other intelligence officials into very difficult

position. Kathie Kay in Washington with excellent analysis as always

and we can join her on world News America later this evening, where

she will have much more about her interview with John Kerry, the

outgoing Secretary of State. Now look at some of the day's other

news. Police in Bangladesh say they have

killed one of the masterminds of last year's terror attack on a cafe

in the capital Dhaka which left 20 hostages - mostly foreigners

- dead. Nurul Islam Marzan and another suspected Islamist extremist

died in a pre-dawn raid The world's biggest art gallery, the

Louvre in Paris, says the number of foreign visitors fell by 20% last

year in the wake of Islamist attacks in the city and

elsewhere in France. The director of the Louvre, Jean-Luc Martinez, said

the drop in visitor numbers had cost the museum more than $10.5 million.

He described 2016 as difficult. Other galleries in

Paris also saw a decline in foreign Michelle Obama has delivered her

final speech as First Lady of the United States with an impassioned

call on young people to have hope and fight for their rights. Speaking

hope, never fear. And know that I will be with you,

rooting for you and working to And that is true, I know,

for every person that is here today, and for educators and advocates

the greatest honour of my life An iceberg about fifty times

the size of Manhattan is close to breaking away

from the Antarctic ice shelf. If and when it happens,

it would be one of the Scientists have been monitoring

the break-up for months. They say climate change is not to

blame. Stretching for around

100 miles in length, the 100-yard wide rift in the Larsen

ice shelf has grown rapidly Just 12 miles of frozen material

is keeping this enormous iceberg Collapsing ice shelves

are common in Antarctica. As these pictures show,

these fragmentations can dramatically affect the landscape,

creating icebergs of A team of British researchers have

been travelling to Antarctica to monitor the growing rift

in the Larsen sea ice shelf for several years,

but they have been surprised by the dramatic expansion

in the rift that's taken place What we've found is that the rift

that's been in this ice shelf for a number of years has broken

through another 18 kilometres and is now at risk of giving birth

to an iceberg about a quarter And the significance

of that is it is a very large iceberg that will go out

into the open ocean, but the remaining ice shelf

we believe will be less stable When large icebergs break off

the edge off an ice shelf like the Larsen B in 2002,

it can have a dramatic effect on the stability

of the whole structure. At Larsen B, most of the remaining

shelf disintegrated Experts at the British Antarctic

Survey are worried that any new iceberg formation

could have long-term consequences. When the ice shelf loses this ice,

it may then start to collapse and if that were to occur,

then the glaciers that feed the ice shelf could flow faster

and contribute more to sea-level When it shears away,

the new iceberg will be one of the biggest recorded -

around 50 times the size But despite concerns

about the impact of global warning, researchers they receive no evidence

evidence that climate change is playing any significant role

in the new iceberg's formation. Well, much more coming up, including

the man with the printed face. We will speak to a cyclist who has had

his jaw rebuilt using 3-D technology.

The Japanese people are in mourning following the death of Emperor

Hirohito. Thousands converged on the Imperial Palace to pay their

respects when it was announced he was dead. Good grief. After half a

century of delighting fans around the world, Charlie Brown and the

rest of the gang are calling it quits. The singer Paul Simon starts

his tour of South Africa tomorrow, in spite of protests and violence

from some black activist groups. They say international artists

should continue to boycott South Africa until majority rule is

established. Teams were trying to scoop up lumps of oil, as France

recognises it faces an ecological crisis. Three weeks ago, the

authorities confidently assured these are areas that oil from the

broken tanker Erika would head out to sea. It didn't. The world's

tourist skyscraper opens later today, it is easily overtaken its

nearest rivals. This is BBC World News today, the

latest headlines: five people have been killed in a shooting at Fort

Lauderdale International airport in Florida. And US intelligence

officials have released a report saying Russian President Vladimir

Putin directly try to influence the US presidential election to

undermine Hillary Clinton and support Donald Trump. Now, for much

of the past month, a huge swathe of northern China has been shrouded in

a thick layer of toxic smog. Pollution has reached such high

levels that Beijing's met office this week issued a warning

against venturing out into the snow because of fears it's

dangerously contaminated. Somewhere, underneath this

murky gloom, is a city And for the unfortunate

residents, this is normal. For the past 30 days,

the average air quality in this city has measured as hazardous

on the official scale. You can smell, even taste the coal

dust in the air, the grim, tangible reality of this country's

model of economic growth. And people have no choice

but to live, eat and sleep in this "It's like living under a cloud",

this noodle seller tells me. "The smog is harming

my children's health". "Of course I want to leave",

this man says, "but I can't afford to, and anyway,

the whole country is polluted". 200 miles away, the pollution

literally rolled into A toxic mix of coal dust from power

stations and car exhaust. The smog now regularly blankets

a huge swathe of northern China. And it is believed to cause

more than a million Public concern has forced

the Chinese government to begin investing heavily

in renewable energy. Those working in the sector believe

China can clean up its air, just as wealthier and more developed

countries once had to. So the experience in the UK,

they have spent, I think, over 40 years in solving

the air pollution issues. Actually, we don't need that much

time for the science research. We don't need that much time

to develop relevant technologies. So I think a lot of things are ripe

for us to make faster solutions. Those solutions can't come fast

enough for this city. Fossil fuels may have lifted China's

economy to ever greater heights, Now the sport. British cyclist Chris

Froome says he turned down the chance to use a therapeutic use

exemption in 2015 because of moral concerns. The three times Tour de

France winner has twice previously used medications under the rule, but

when given the option during a race two years ago, he chose not to. They

basically said, your condition is severe enough that you need

medication and the medication you need would require a TUE. And that

didn't sit well with me at the time. I didn't feel as if having a TUE in

the last week of the Tour de France was something I was prepared to...

Didn't sit well morally with me that that was something I was going to

do. You think therefore it is right we are asking questions of things

like Bradley Wiggins having three corticosteroids in the run-up to the

races? I think it is healthy to ask those questions but yeah, I am not

giving commentary on his situation, that is something he is going to

have to address himself. That was Natalie Perks asking the questions

and it's important to add there is no suggestion that serve Bradley

Wiggins has done anything wrong, he was prescribed the TUE for his

asthma. The opening match of the third round of the FA Cup is under

way, between two Premier League sides, West Ham and Manchester City,

but it is very one-sided. With 70 minutes gone, West Ham are losing

4-0 at the London stadium. With the Australian Open just ten

days away, the world's top two male tennis players are having the ideal

warm up, through to the final of the Qatar open. Novak Djokovic is

through after beating Fernando Verdasco while world number one Andy

Murray beat Tomas Berdych in straight sets. It is Andy Murray's

28th win in a row. The final takes place on Saturday. And that is the

sport. Thank you very much.
