:05:25. > :05:40.Well, just like Davos here in the Swiss Alps, this can all seem a
:05:41. > :05:45.little remote. Why does it matter that billions of pounds are wiped
:05:46. > :05:48.off the global markets? I suppose it matters because the investors in
:05:49. > :05:53.those stocks and shares are our pension funds, our savings, and when
:05:54. > :05:56.those stocks and shares fall dramatically, like they have today,
:05:57. > :06:03.that has a negative effect on those pension funds and on our savings.
:06:04. > :06:08.Whatever the doom and gloom today, and it might continue, as Bob Dudley
:06:09. > :06:13.said, for months, tomorrow for Britain will be dominated by one
:06:14. > :06:19.thing. David Cameron arrives here in Davos to encourage, to demand that
:06:20. > :06:26.business leaders get behind him and what he says are the right reforms
:06:27. > :06:29.to reform the European Union. That will only heighten speculation that
:06:30. > :06:33.the referendum on whether to leave or remain in the EU is imminent,

:09:45. > :09:51.son. But for Anatoly Litvinenko,
:09:52. > :09:54.who was 12 when his father died, I try not to think too much of my
:09:55. > :09:59.early childhood. of a 17-year-old Alexander
:10:00. > :10:15.Litvinenko, who joined the Russian but who then became an outspoken
:10:16. > :10:21.critic of corruption, to what he thought was
:10:22. > :10:26.the safety of Britain. his widow has been fighting to find
:10:27. > :10:32.out why he was then murdered. Nine years is a long
:10:33. > :10:35.time, but the fact is, there is the potential for nothing
:10:36. > :10:40.at all to have happened. Nine years later, that we have
:10:41. > :10:43.reached this stage It's taken a lot of
:10:44. > :10:47.persistence from your mother. I don't think many people would be
:10:48. > :10:53.able to do what she has done. Like, it's been such
:10:54. > :10:58.a steep hill to climb. Thanks to my mother,
:10:59. > :11:03.we made it through to this point. Litvinenko's tea was poisoned
:11:04. > :11:10.at this Mayfair hotel in 2006. Two Russians, Andrei Lugovoi
:11:11. > :11:14.and Dmitri Kovtun, They deny any role
:11:15. > :11:17.in his killing. Alexander Litvinenko is seen
:11:18. > :11:20.arriving to meet them When the alleged killers walked out
:11:21. > :11:26.of this London hotel, across London and all
:11:27. > :11:31.the way to Moscow. The question for this inquiry
:11:32. > :11:34.is whether that trail leads to the Kremlin, and to
:11:35. > :11:41.Vladimir Putin himself. Litvinenko was so hated
:11:42. > :11:43.by the Russian state that special
:11:44. > :11:46.forces publicly used his image for target practice.
:11:47. > :11:52.Many in Russia saw him as a traitor. The inquiry revealed that
:11:53. > :11:55.Litvinenko was being paid by Britain's intelligence
:11:56. > :11:59.service, MI6, and it revealed he was also helping Spanish
:12:00. > :12:03.authorities prosecute the Russian Mafia and
:12:04. > :12:06.investigate their links has been described as an act
:12:07. > :12:13.of nuclear terrorism Obviously, the issue of state
:12:14. > :12:17.responsibility is one of the key
:12:18. > :12:20.questions for this inquiry. How important is that
:12:21. > :12:25.to establish for you both? To be fair, it's probably one
:12:26. > :12:29.of the most important things to establish,
:12:30. > :12:32.not only for us personally, to see who the trail
:12:33. > :12:37.leads to, but I feel it's
:12:38. > :12:40.also very important from a security perspective.
:12:41. > :12:42.If you look at the fact that polonium was used as a murder
:12:43. > :12:46.weapon, a nuclear isotope with the potential to kill
:12:47. > :12:50.an untold number of people, you want to find who was behind
:12:51. > :12:54.the murder, who planned it Whatever the diplomatic
:12:55. > :12:58.consequences, this is also
:12:59. > :13:00.about a son fulfilling what he sees My father did a hell of a lot
:13:01. > :13:08.to get me into this country I need to respect that and do
:13:09. > :13:15.what I can to honour his memory. Those who killed Alexander
:13:16. > :13:18.Litvinenko may never stand trial, and so tomorrow could be the closest
:13:19. > :13:21.this family gets to justice. The BBC's independent investigation
:13:22. > :13:30.into Jimmy Savile appears The Dame Janet Smith Inquiry said
:13:31. > :13:36.today the report would be published within the next six weeks,
:13:37. > :13:38.but the news website Exaro has Our Media Correspondent
:13:39. > :13:52.David Sillito is with me. Do be clear, this is the leak of a
:13:53. > :13:56.draft, so we have to be careful with what it says? A lot of health
:13:57. > :14:00.warnings about this, yes. If it is the real report, it could be
:14:01. > :14:03.different when finally published. However, looking at it, many of the
:14:04. > :14:08.quotes from the people in this report match exactly the words
:14:09. > :14:14.spoken to me in investigations and inquiries I have made. Many of them
:14:15. > :14:19.have not spoken publicly. So what does it actually says? It identifies
:14:20. > :14:22.61 incidents of sexual assault by Jimmy Savile on BBC property,
:14:23. > :14:29.including four rapes and one attempted rape. It says it goes back
:14:30. > :14:32.to the early 1970s, and it says that these occurred across a variety of
:14:33. > :14:36.BBC buildings. They say that the culture at the time, talent was
:14:37. > :14:40.allowed to get away with behaviour that flew in the face of BBC values.
:14:41. > :14:46.It said there were investigations into sexual assaults, and said the
:14:47. > :14:50.investigations were wholly inadequate. It said that girl is
:14:51. > :14:56.going to Top Of The Pops in the early 1970s were exposed to moral
:14:57. > :15:00.danger. However, the general conclusions, it says here, I do not
:15:01. > :15:05.think the BBC can be criticised for failing to uncover Savile's
:15:06. > :15:10.deviancy. No one uncovered him, the BBC was just one of many. But it
:15:11. > :15:13.does say the BBC can be criticised for its failure to examine Savile's
:15:14. > :15:16.personality critically, because of the rumours and most of all, because
:15:17. > :15:20.he was dealing with children. At least 19 people have died
:15:21. > :15:23.in a gun and bomb attack The security forces say four
:15:24. > :15:26.suspected attackers were later killed in a gunfight,
:15:27. > :15:29.which lasted nearly three hours. The attack took place
:15:30. > :15:31.at the Bacha Khan University campus, 30 miles from Peshawar
:15:32. > :15:46.in the north-west of the country. Army commandos raced across open
:15:47. > :15:51.fields surrounding the university as the militants opened fire on
:15:52. > :15:55.students and staff inside. The attackers are believed to have
:15:56. > :16:03.scaled the walls at the back of the campus, under a cover of early
:16:04. > :16:06.morning thick fog. The attack lasted almost three
:16:07. > :16:11.hours, as military and special forces made their way in, eventually
:16:12. > :16:19.killing four gunmen who are all said to have been wearing suicide vests.
:16:20. > :16:25.The only way for those inside to escape was through the main gates.
:16:26. > :16:31.It was devastation inside. Walls covered in bullet holes, a sign of
:16:32. > :16:35.the shock and panic as students and staff fled for their lives.
:16:36. > :16:38.TRANSLATION: There was so much panic and fear that a friend of mine
:16:39. > :16:41.jumped from the university building. The building is very high but he
:16:42. > :16:50.just jumped because he was so scared. We saw the militants
:16:51. > :16:56.chanting Allah is the greatest. The wounded were rushed to hospital,

:17:01. > :17:03.Bacha Khan University has close connections to a secular political

:17:10. > :17:13.It's unclear whether the Pakistani Taliban are responsible for this
:17:14. > :17:20.latest assault, but they were behind a similar attack on an Army public
:17:21. > :17:25.school in Peshawar in 2014 in which 132 school children were killed.
:17:26. > :17:29.Today's attack will raise questions about why the militants are still
:17:30. > :17:33.able to strike soft targets like this university and how effective
:17:34. > :17:38.the military operation has been this last year, especially with a mix of
:17:39. > :17:42.militant networks that is evolving on the Pakistan-Afghan border. Many

:23:41. > :23:47.Well, since the start of its air campaign in Syria Russia has faced
:23:48. > :23:51.dproeing criticism over who it's targeting and laevenlged civilian
:23:52. > :23:54.casualties -- growing. -- alleged. The Russians have brushed aside that
:23:55. > :23:57.criticism claiming they're the victims, the victims of an
:23:58. > :24:01.information war against the West. From what we have seen today at the
:24:02. > :24:04.Russian base in Syria that criticism has not convinced Russia to reduce
:24:05. > :24:09.the intensity of its air operation. In Syria, it's still Russian bombers
:24:10. > :24:12.that dominate the skies. We last visited Russia's Hemeimeem
:24:13. > :24:16.air base two months ago. When we came back today,
:24:17. > :24:22.we noticed an extra runway The S-400 rocket launcher brought

:24:57. > :25:00.groups claim that unguided Russian munitions have caused hundreds
:25:01. > :25:04.of civilian deaths across Syria. There's nothing new about

:26:56. > :26:58.called El Nino in the Pacific where warm water releases

:27:09. > :27:10.is the main factor. El Nino is contributing
:27:11. > :27:12.a small amount on top. Let's see the context
:27:13. > :27:16.for this new record. This graph from the Met office shows
:27:17. > :27:21.temperatures since 1850 fluctuating compared to the long-term
:27:22. > :27:25.average, gradually rising right up to the record high set last year,

:27:41. > :27:43.on a planetary scale, the last ice age was only five
:27:44. > :27:47.degrees colder than it is today. So one degree is actually a very
:27:48. > :27:49.significant number and we already see an impact in the Arctic,

:28:30. > :28:37.a warming trend is clear. One of the frontrunners for next

:28:41. > :28:42.of an American newspaper's investigation into the cover-up
:28:43. > :28:45.of child abuse within the Catholic Our Arts Editor, Will Gompertz,
:28:46. > :28:49.met the film's star, Michael Keaton, and the real-life
:28:50. > :28:52.character he portrays. When you're a poor kid from a poor
:28:53. > :28:54.family and the priest pays attention
:28:55. > :28:57.to you, it's a big deal. There's been a massive cover-up
:28:58. > :29:02.in the Catholic Church. The numbers indicate that there
:29:03. > :29:05.were senior clergy involved. It's exposed by the Boston
:29:06. > :29:09.Globe Spotlight team of investigative journalists,
:29:10. > :29:11.led by Walter "Robby" Robinson, Everyone knew something
:29:12. > :29:15.was going on, Michael, in a way, this
:29:16. > :29:20.is an old-fashioned movie. Are you surprised that it's
:29:21. > :29:23.getting the attention? I guess I am, because it's
:29:24. > :29:26.a procedural thing. You're talking about
:29:27. > :29:28.tedium, you know. You're talking about papers
:29:29. > :29:33.and files and that can be "Oh,
:29:34. > :29:38.boy", especially now with what we are used
:29:39. > :29:40.to and addicted to. That's the only thing that
:29:41. > :29:49.will put and end to this. It's a piece of recent history,
:29:50. > :29:53.meaning Michael Keaton could shadow his opposite
:29:54. > :29:55.number at the Globe. A guy leans on a guy and suddenly,
:29:56. > :30:05.the whole town looks the other way. This movie goes beyond being just
:30:06. > :30:08.about an investigative team. It's about a community,
:30:09. > :30:11.which kind of becomes complicit, It's actually true
:30:12. > :30:18.of a lot of us and a
:30:19. > :30:21.lot of our institutions. We all thought the church
:30:22. > :30:22.is too important, So that when the priest
:30:23. > :30:31.offended and they said it's
:30:32. > :30:33.just one priest, people believed them,
:30:34. > :30:34.when in fact... When in fact, they were
:30:35. > :30:42.literally covering up the sexual crimes
:30:43. > :30:43.of thousands of priests across the United
:30:44. > :30:46.States for decades. This is Boston, and the Church does
:30:47. > :30:49.not want them to be found. Spotlight has received
:30:50. > :30:55.six Oscar-nominated, which,
:30:56. > :30:58.controversially, is six more For the second year running,
:30:59. > :31:02.all 20 acting nominations It seems to me that the voting
:31:03. > :31:11.bloc I just think they're
:31:12. > :31:18.possibly out of touch. Do you think the Spotlight team
:31:19. > :31:20.should be put on it? There are no special effects
:31:21. > :31:30.and precious little action. It's simply a powerful story,
:31:31. > :31:40.which according to many critics, Newsnight is coming
:31:41. > :31:43.up over on BBC Two.
