:01:16. > :01:29.Good evening and welcome to BBC News.
:01:30. > :01:35.Spain's ruling conservative Popular Party has won the most votes
:01:36. > :01:44.With over 70 percent of votes counted,
:01:45. > :01:50.and new anti-austerity party Podemos has 20.5 percent of the vote
:01:51. > :02:12.Spanish politics, Podemos. This party has gone from nowhere, it did
:02:13. > :02:18.well in regional elections, controlling Madrid, Barcelona. In
:02:19. > :02:22.these elections it has really come up to be probably the second
:02:23. > :02:28.strongest force in Spanish politics. It looks to have done well across
:02:29. > :02:33.the country and it is a grassroots movement that came from the city of
:02:34. > :02:39.protest. People occupied the mains where here in Madrid. It is a social
:02:40. > :02:44.movement. Its victory tonight is a big no to corruption scandals and a
:02:45. > :02:53.big no to austerity directed by Brussels. This party talks about
:02:54. > :02:56.producing quality -- equality, pumping money into public services
:02:57. > :03:00.and raising the minimum wage and raising the taxes on businesses and
:03:01. > :03:04.the very rich. How much of the
:03:05. > :03:19.for the Economist. Spanish politics? -- a turn-up. It
:03:20. > :03:27.is a big change, I'm currently sitting in the Podemos headquarters.
:03:28. > :03:33.It is a remarkable result really in Spanish terms. Two parties that did
:03:34. > :03:42.not exist on the national stage a few years ago, it leaves us in a
:03:43. > :03:52.messy situation where the government would have four or possibly five
:03:53. > :03:59.parties. The Basque country appear to have a balance of power in
:04:00. > :04:10.Parliament. The outgoing People's party has a majority in the Senate,
:04:11. > :04:21.which means the two hands a Parliament would have to compete
:04:22. > :04:25.against each other. We are seeing pictures from the Podemos
:04:26. > :04:33.post-election gathering, all looking extremely happy as you would expect.
:04:34. > :04:37.For a new party to be so successful so quickly, it must be a surprise to
:04:38. > :04:42.a lot of people, what does it mean in terms of who will form the
:04:43. > :04:50.coalition? No one can do it on their own, I am afraid, this is why we
:04:51. > :05:02.will have to listen to what people have to say. It is quite possible
:05:03. > :05:06.that we will have either a short lived government or a close election
:05:07. > :05:16.sometime soon. I'm afraid I will have to go and listen to public
:05:17. > :05:22.places speaking now. Yes, the all-important job of gathering the
:05:23. > :05:24.news. -- listen to someone speaking now.
:05:25. > :05:26.The former Conservative Defence Secretary Liam Fox has urged
:05:27. > :05:29.David Cameron to allow Cabinet members to campaign for the UK
:05:30. > :05:31.to leave the European Union - without having to resign.
:05:32. > :05:34.Dr Fox has confirmed he'll be voting to leave
:05:35. > :05:37.But the Prime Minister's approach to renegotiating Britain's EU
:05:38. > :05:39.membership received further support today from one of his predecessors -
:05:40. > :05:42.Our Political Correspondent Chris Mason reports.
:05:43. > :05:45.It's 43 years since Ted Heath signed us up to what is now the EU.
:05:46. > :05:49.In the next two years, we will be asked whether we want to stay.
:05:50. > :05:52.This former Prime Minister says we should.
:05:53. > :05:55.If we vote to stay out, then we are out and we will have
:05:56. > :06:01.to get on with it and face the consequences.
:06:02. > :06:10.David Cameron has been in Brussels trying to persuade fellow European
:06:11. > :06:13.leaders that the UK needs a new deal with the EU.
:06:14. > :06:16.He knows that back home some grumble, that they will say his
:06:17. > :06:22.But changing things is important, John Major says, because...
:06:23. > :06:27.It isn't common sense to sweep into countries more people
:06:28. > :06:30.than we can provide for if they are sick,
:06:31. > :06:36.Some in the cabinet, like Iain Duncan Smith,
:06:37. > :06:42.Today, a former Cabinet colleague said they should be able
:06:43. > :06:45.to keep their jobs and campaign to leave, just as he already is.
:06:46. > :06:48.For me, two things had to happen to want to stay in the EU.
:06:49. > :06:51.One was a fundamental change in our relationship
:06:52. > :06:53.with the European Union, but more importantly,
:06:54. > :06:57.a change in direction for the EU itself, away from the concept
:06:58. > :07:00.of an ever-closer union, and towards a much more independent
:07:01. > :07:07.and looser association of sovereign states.
:07:08. > :07:13.At the last European referendum in 1975, Labour Cabinet Ministers
:07:14. > :07:16.were allowed to campaign on both sides of the debate.
:07:17. > :07:19.David Cameron has so far avoided saying whether he will allow that
:07:20. > :07:53.And we'll find out how this story - and many others - are covered
:07:54. > :07:55.in tomorrow's front pages at 10:30 and 11:30pm this evening
:07:56. > :07:58.in The Papers - our guests joining me tonight are sports writer
:07:59. > :08:00.for the Sun, Martin Lipton and broadcaster and barrister Sophia
:08:01. > :08:07.Eurotunnel says delays have now increased to up to eight hours
:08:08. > :08:14.from Folkestone after a technical fault at at tunnel.
:08:15. > :08:19.Finally the work has been completed, it was a problem with one of the
:08:20. > :08:26.tracks and for a large part of the day they had to close one of the
:08:27. > :08:29.tunnels. You are taking away 50% of the capacity and one is a busy
:08:30. > :08:33.travel day with a lot of people travelling for Christmas. There have
:08:34. > :08:38.been huge delays and the bad news is those delays are likely to continue
:08:39. > :08:42.into the night, there were delays of around eight hours. It is taking
:08:43. > :08:47.around an hour and a half if you turn up to the terminal just to get
:08:48. > :08:51.into the terminal itself and then another six and a half hours waiting
:08:52. > :08:55.to get into a train. Now we have both tunnels open, it will be full
:08:56. > :08:59.capacity and they will work to reduce the backlog and it will take
:09:00. > :09:04.several hours to sort that out. What is the advice that those meant to be
:09:05. > :09:08.travelling. If you are planning to set out tonight, booked on a train
:09:09. > :09:21.overnight, then the best option is not to travel. Yellow back. --
:09:22. > :09:24.postpone your journey tonight if possible and by tomorrow morning
:09:25. > :09:28.they hope things will be back to normal. The advice is checked before
:09:29. > :09:33.you set out, but they are very confident things will be running
:09:34. > :09:38.normally by the morning. What happens if you bought a ticket, will
:09:39. > :09:42.it be honoured? It will, Eurotunnel says you can exchange through
:09:43. > :09:47.different date. If you have booked and made your travel plans, your
:09:48. > :09:51.travelling will be quite difficult, you may not want to risk changing
:09:52. > :09:56.the date. Eurotunnel does have a good deal of capacity and there is
:09:57. > :09:59.the option of the ferry. It is just about thinking before you set out on
:10:00. > :10:04.what the best option is, particularly if you are travelling
:10:05. > :10:07.with children or you have a lot of passengers in your car.
:10:08. > :10:10.David Cameron has ordered a review into the use of guns by police
:10:11. > :10:14.The move follows the Paris attacks and will look at whether the law
:10:15. > :10:16.gives enough support to officers having to make
:10:17. > :10:35.If similar attacks were to happen here, could our police protect us?
:10:36. > :10:38.The government wants more police firearms training like you can see
:10:39. > :10:40.here, but are officers legally protected in case
:10:41. > :10:45.If an attack were to happen in a busy city centre like this one,
:10:46. > :10:48.it would come down to split-second decisions, and we understand that
:10:49. > :10:50.at the highest levels of police, there are concerns that firearms
:10:51. > :10:52.officers simply don't have the correct legal or political
:10:53. > :10:55.protection that they would require if something were go wrong.
:10:56. > :10:59.The Criminal Law Act allows police to use reasonable force.
:11:00. > :11:01.The Criminal Justice Act allows the officer to open fire
:11:02. > :11:04.This could in itself persuade police that politicians
:11:05. > :11:08.and the law are on their side, but there are concerns it shouldn't
:11:09. > :11:31.It is important to get the balance right.
:11:32. > :11:32.It's got to be democratically decided.
:11:33. > :11:35.But we cannot have shoot to kill without any democratic involvement.
:11:36. > :11:39.On the London Underground in 2005, a Jean Charles de Menezes
:11:40. > :11:41.was killed, after police suspected him incorrectly
:11:42. > :11:44.In Paris, they are clearing away the floral tributes,
:11:45. > :11:47.but the questions as to how the police should respond to such
:11:48. > :12:00.Tyson Fury has apologised for any offence his controversial comments
:12:01. > :12:03.about women and homosexuality may have caused at the BBC's
:12:04. > :12:07.Sports Personality of the Year awards.
:12:08. > :12:10.Over a 130,000 people had signed a petition calling for the boxer
:12:11. > :12:12.to be removed from the shortlist, and around forty people staged
:12:13. > :12:14.a protest outside the awards venue in Belfast.
:12:15. > :12:17.In an interview at the ceremony he insisted he had not meant any
:12:18. > :12:32.I have said a lot of stuff in the past and none of it is with
:12:33. > :12:37.intentions to hurt anybody, it is all tongue in cheek and fun and
:12:38. > :12:40.games for me, I am not a serious person, everything is happy-go-lucky
:12:41. > :12:45.with Tyson Fury. If I have said anything in the past that has hurt
:12:46. > :12:54.anybody, I apologise, it is not my intention to do that. Sports
:12:55. > :12:56.personality of the year went to Andy Murray and I'm sure that we will be
:12:57. > :12:58.talking about that in a few moments. An emergency landing
:12:59. > :13:01.by an Air France plane in Kenya was caused by a false bomb alert -
:13:02. > :13:04.according to the airline's chief. The incident is the fourth false
:13:05. > :13:08.alarm the airline has had Our correspondent Lucy Williamson

:13:18. > :13:20.the device fashioned from a cardboard box
:13:21. > :13:24.and a kitchen timer, but the fears it caused were enough
:13:25. > :13:29.to divert the flight to Kenya The 459 passengers on board
:13:30. > :13:35.reportedly unaware of what was going on until their feet
:13:36. > :13:40.touched the ground. The plane went down, slowly, slowly,
:13:41. > :13:43.so we just realised something The people of Air France
:13:44. > :13:51.were just wonderful. They kept everybody
:13:52. > :13:52.calm and really quiet. A replacement flight is expected
:13:53. > :14:02.to bring the passengers back Several of them have reportedly been
:14:03. > :14:09.questioned by police. At a press conference in Paris,
:14:10. > :14:16.the Air France CEO described TRANSLATION: We are still waiting
:14:17. > :14:20.to hear more about the legal implications from the Kenyan

:14:24. > :14:26.and on board its national carrier has been stepped up since

:14:33. > :14:34.of the Paris attacks still fresh, even hoaxes like this have the power

:20:24. > :20:30.We are now going to speak some more about the Spanish election. We will
:20:31. > :20:33.speak to a journalist. Just how much an achievement is it that these two
:20:34. > :20:43.new parties do have made these gains? It is extraordinary and
:20:44. > :20:51.surprising. The party, Podemos, that is the one that has had clear
:20:52. > :21:00.success here, it is a left party, it was started just a few years ago, it
:21:01. > :21:05.began very well a year ago. It was believed to be the first or the
:21:06. > :21:09.second party in Spain. -- it began very well, then a year ago it was
:21:10. > :21:13.believed to be the first or second party in Spain. Opinion polls
:21:14. > :21:20.indicated it was coming back and it has had an extraordinarily good
:21:21. > :21:23.result. Citizens, it is a liberal centre-right party, it has
:21:24. > :21:30.underperformed. They expected a better results, still it is a new
:21:31. > :21:35.party, not the numerous party. It has now gone national and it has had
:21:36. > :21:40.a good results, but not as good as they expected. How likely is it that
:21:41. > :21:50.either of these new parties will form a coalition with Rajoy? There
:21:51. > :21:53.was the possibility of this new centre-right party, citizens,
:21:54. > :21:59.supporting a Conservative government without entering a coalition. Now
:22:00. > :22:04.the numbers do not allow that. Even together they will not be able to
:22:05. > :22:08.form a government. That is off the table now and the only chance for
:22:09. > :22:12.the Prime Minister to form government would be with the
:22:13. > :22:19.socialist, which is the rival party, that is very unlikely and then there
:22:20. > :22:22.is the option of a snap election. What are the most pressing problems
:22:23. > :22:31.facing the government what ever form it takes? The economy. Although the
:22:32. > :22:37.Spanish economy has been recovering, that was precisely the mainline
:22:38. > :22:41.coming out from the ruling party during the campaign, yes the Spanish
:22:42. > :22:47.economy is recovering, but not fast enough. Spain has a huge debt. It
:22:48. > :22:52.received a bank bailout this morning. It has to give back.
:22:53. > :22:57.Brussels has not intervened in the Spanish economy in the same way it
:22:58. > :23:01.has with Ireland all Greece. Still Spain has to follow the guidelines
:23:02. > :23:04.that are issued by Brussels and they are tough guidelines. It will be
:23:05. > :23:12.tougher now that the election is over, that will be a very difficult
:23:13. > :23:16.challenge for any government that is formed, let alone if no government
:23:17. > :23:19.is formed and we have a period of instability.
