:00:00. > :00:09.As nations pledge billions of pounds to help Syrian refugees,

:00:10. > :00:12.reports tonight that tens of thousands more are heading

:00:13. > :00:18.They are escaping intense fighting in the city of Aleppo.

:00:19. > :00:22.Here, the Prime Minister says the newly promised money will help.

:00:23. > :00:24.It will make a difference in terms of saving lives,

:00:25. > :00:27.in terms of providing medicine, in terms of providing

:00:28. > :00:40.I will be reporting from Lebanon's Bekaa Valley, on some house of the

:00:41. > :00:41.new aid money may be used to help a country struggling with more than 1

:00:42. > :00:47.million refugees. We're also live from Syria tonight,

:00:48. > :00:50.with the latest on the unfolding Also on the programme: A UN

:00:51. > :00:54.panel of experts decides that the WikiLeaks founder Julian

:00:55. > :00:57.Assange is being unfairly detained. We've a special report on the battle

:00:58. > :00:59.against the Zika virus in Colombia - now the source of the first infected

:01:00. > :01:02.pregnancy in Europe. The huge new city built

:01:03. > :01:05.in Saudi Arabia to house two million people - but as oil prices

:01:06. > :01:08.tumble, where are they? The puzzle set by the nation's top

:01:09. > :01:11.spooks that left thousands stumped since Christmas - we reveal

:01:12. > :01:15.the answers and who got them right. we expose the reality of life

:01:16. > :01:21.with dementia for a growing And the stolen Banksy -

:01:22. > :01:27.and trashed flat that mean these As tens of thousands of Syrians

:01:28. > :01:50.are reported to be fleeing intense fighting and heading

:01:51. > :01:52.for the country's borders tonight, over ?6 billion has been

:01:53. > :01:55.pledged in aid. The money has been promised

:01:56. > :01:58.by leaders from some 70 countries Britain alone has offered

:01:59. > :02:03.?1.2 billion over David Cameron says the money

:02:04. > :02:07.will provide millions in Syria with "life-saving" aid

:02:08. > :02:11.as well as jobs and education. But similar past pledges of cash

:02:12. > :02:14.have still not been honoured Our diplomatic correspondent

:02:15. > :02:29.Bridget Kendall reports. And Newark -- a new exodus of

:02:30. > :02:34.Syrians fleeing the conflict. Thousands making for Turkey's

:02:35. > :02:38.border, according to these pictures from local news agency. To escape

:02:39. > :02:45.this week's Russian and Syrian government advance on Aleppo, adding

:02:46. > :02:48.to the already overwhelming tide of desperate refugees. And adding a new

:02:49. > :02:55.note of urgency to today's conference in London, assembled

:02:56. > :02:59.leaders heard that with 13.5 million displaced inside Syria and 4.5

:03:00. > :03:07.million outside, Syria's neighbours are near breaking point. 30,000 new

:03:08. > :03:10.refugees escaped from camps where 70,000 are leaving and they are

:03:11. > :03:17.rushing to Turkish border, in order to have a safe haven, free of the

:03:18. > :03:22.air strikes of Russian planes. Soon, Lebanon will no longer be able to

:03:23. > :03:30.contain an eruption that could involve further migration to distant

:03:31. > :03:34.shores. Destabilisation and devolved security threats. Last year, the

:03:35. > :03:38.world only gave the United Nations half of aid it needed, so in the end

:03:39. > :03:44.food rations to refugees had to be cut, one reason so many decided to

:03:45. > :03:48.move on to Europe. Which means today, in London, there is new

:03:49. > :03:52.self-interest. Give aid ease conditions in the region and maybe

:03:53. > :03:57.stem the flow coming towards Europe, but will it work? There have been

:03:58. > :04:00.previous donor conferences for Syria and every time it seems as though

:04:01. > :04:05.the refugee crisis gets bigger. Isn't there a danger the same thing

:04:06. > :04:09.is happening this time round and all your impressive pledges will ring

:04:10. > :04:13.rather hollow? It will make a difference in terms of saving lives,

:04:14. > :04:18.in terms of providing medicine, in terms of providing shelter and food,

:04:19. > :04:22.and these are important because we are fulfilling our moral

:04:23. > :04:25.responsibility of countries. Of course, announcing all these big

:04:26. > :04:30.pledges of aid here in London is one thing. Actually delivering it the

:04:31. > :04:34.ground is quite another. And anyway, everyone agrees, all these promises

:04:35. > :04:39.to give humanitarian and long-term development help is very well, but

:04:40. > :04:44.what is needed is a way to stop the war. But the omens are not looking

:04:45. > :04:47.good. It's not just around Aleppo the bombardment against rebels has

:04:48. > :04:53.just got heavier. This was apparently a Syrian government

:04:54. > :04:57.assault on a rebel Bastian near Dhahran, close to the Jordanian

:04:58. > :05:01.border in the South. And all this fighting last night caused the

:05:02. > :05:07.fledgling peace talks in Geneva to break down when they have hardly

:05:08. > :05:12.begun. Back-up the Kilis border gate, thousands wait, desperate

:05:13. > :05:14.begun. Back-up the Kilis border be let into Turkey, uncertain who

:05:15. > :05:19.will help them. However impressive the pledges in London, this

:05:20. > :05:23.momentous conflict doesn't look any nearer to a close.

:05:24. > :05:26.Well, as we've heard, Turkey, Jordan and Lebanon desperately need

:05:27. > :05:28.long-term support to cope with the huge influx

:05:29. > :05:33.More than 4 million refugees are now living in the region.

:05:34. > :05:36.Over a million of them are in neighbouring Lebanon,

:05:37. > :05:44.Our correspondent Clive Myrie is in one of them.

:05:45. > :05:52.The influx of people have put enormous pressure on Lebanon. How

:05:53. > :05:55.will this money help? Yes, a lot of money has been pledged but how

:05:56. > :05:58.should it be used in a country like Lebanon, struggling to cope with so

:05:59. > :05:59.many refugees? Around a quarter of Lebanon, struggling to cope with so

:06:00. > :06:03.the population. There is no question many would like

:06:04. > :06:06.the population. There is no question for their families, and

:06:07. > :06:07.the population. There is no question donor money could open up the labour

:06:08. > :06:10.market donor money could open up the labour

:06:11. > :06:19.of the refugees are children and donor money could open up the labour

:06:20. > :06:37.funding is sorely needed for their continuing education, to

:06:38. > :06:44.They attend school five days a week, like the 270 other youngsters

:06:45. > :06:50.But when school's out, they and some of the other kids

:06:51. > :07:04.They work in the brick factory that borders their home.

:07:05. > :07:08.Under a hot sun, it's dusty and smelly.

:07:09. > :07:12.Hard, but necessary work for this family.

:07:13. > :07:20."We work to help our father," Mustafa says, "because our little

:07:21. > :08:10.Over a break for lunch, there's time for more reflection.

:08:11. > :08:35.These children are mature way beyond their years.

:08:36. > :08:39.Millions of his countrymen now have nothing, and after lunch it's

:08:40. > :08:51.It's not just the education system here of course that needs cash,

:08:52. > :08:55.because so many refugees are living here. The health system, social

:08:56. > :08:58.services, housing, all are buckling under the massive humanitarian

:08:59. > :09:03.crisis caused by the neighbouring several war. Longer term the

:09:04. > :09:07.solution to all these problems is a comprehensive peace in Syria. Until

:09:08. > :09:11.then, Lebanon will continue to struggle.

:09:12. > :09:13.Let's talk to our correspondent Rami Ruhayem, who's

:09:14. > :09:18.Billions of pounds have been pledged to help Syrians made refugees

:09:19. > :09:20.by the fighting there, but just tonight we're hearing that

:09:21. > :09:23.tens of thousands more civilians are feeling intense fighting

:09:24. > :09:30.in Aleppo and streaming towards the borders.

:09:31. > :09:37.Yes, it's a reminder of how fast things and how suddenly things can

:09:38. > :09:42.deteriorate in the Syrian war. This would have been very difficult to

:09:43. > :09:46.imagine just a few months ago, before the Russian intervention, but

:09:47. > :09:51.it is this kind of intensive bombardment that is still the single

:09:52. > :09:59.biggest driver of mass displacement within Syria. Of course, even those

:10:00. > :10:06.Syrians displaced within Syria who are not immediately on the line of

:10:07. > :10:11.Fire, who have managed to get away from the front lines, from the

:10:12. > :10:14.raging battles, even they face very difficult conditions, economic

:10:15. > :10:19.hardship, loss of livelihood, loss of control over their lives, which

:10:20. > :10:25.is probably one of the biggest causes as well of the movement to

:10:26. > :10:30.Europe, the desperate attempts by so many refugees and internally

:10:31. > :10:35.displaced Syrians to get to Europe. All of this shows no sign of ending

:10:36. > :10:38.any time soon and it remains to be seen whether we will see yet another

:10:39. > :10:39.year of people taking desperate measures to leave Syria and perhaps

:10:40. > :10:43.even the region. A UN panel of experts has decided

:10:44. > :10:45.that the WikiLeaks founder, Julian Assange, is being

:10:46. > :10:47.unfairly detained. More than three years ago Mr Assange

:10:48. > :10:49.sought political asylum in Ecuador's London

:10:50. > :10:51.embassy to avoid arrest. Today, Downing Street said

:10:52. > :10:52.the UN panel's ruling Our diplomatic correspondent

:10:53. > :10:58.Caroline Hawley reports. This was Julian Assange back

:10:59. > :11:02.in 2012, the summer he sought refuge Now a UN leagal panel has heard him

:11:03. > :11:12.and, to the dismay of Britain and Sweden, to the delight

:11:13. > :11:14.of his supporters, and to some I really hope that as a consequence

:11:15. > :11:22.of this ruling, that Julian can leave the embassy and go to Ecuador,

:11:23. > :11:24.where he can benefit I fear that the British Government

:11:25. > :11:30.might ride roughshod over this, but I think it would be really

:11:31. > :11:33.unfortunate and send a terrible message internationally about our,

:11:34. > :11:35.sort of, recognition of international human

:11:36. > :11:37.rights legislation. Julian Assange first

:11:38. > :11:40.made headlines in 2010, when WikiLeaks began to publish

:11:41. > :11:42.hundreds of thousands In August that year,

:11:43. > :11:47.allegations were made of sexual Two years later, Ecuador granted

:11:48. > :11:53.political asylum to Mr Assange, on the grounds that he risked

:11:54. > :11:58.being extradited on to the US. Last year, police announced that

:11:59. > :12:00.officers would no longer be stationed outside the Ecuadorian

:12:01. > :12:04.Embassy, they'd cost the British This morning, Julian Assange said

:12:05. > :12:10.he'd accept arrest by the British police, if the UN panel

:12:11. > :12:12.ruled against him. Of course, we now know it's

:12:13. > :12:16.ruled in his favour. One of the things I'll be interested

:12:17. > :12:20.to hear from the UN is - why did he regard this

:12:21. > :12:22.as a detention when, essentially, he his detained

:12:23. > :12:24.with his own hand? The UK has a European Arrest Warrant

:12:25. > :12:28.for very serious charges from Sweden, a well-respected

:12:29. > :12:31.jurisdiction, and that will still have to be

:12:32. > :12:34.enforced come what may. Today, a high-profile

:12:35. > :12:37.visitor for Mr Assange, in the form of the fashion designer,

:12:38. > :12:40.Dame Vivienne Westwood. The UN panel's decision is a big

:12:41. > :12:45.victory for Julian Assange, and an embarrassment

:12:46. > :12:48.for Sweden and the UK. But unless Julian Assange really

:12:49. > :12:51.is ready to be arrested, for the moment at least,

:12:52. > :13:06.the Ecuadorian Embassy So tonight, I don't think Julian

:13:07. > :13:08.Assange is packing his bags in there. Swedish prosecutors say the

:13:09. > :13:12.decision does not affect their investigation, but it does put them

:13:13. > :13:16.under the British government in an awkward position and four Julian

:13:17. > :13:20.Assange it's something of a PR coup. Now, we won't know the full details

:13:21. > :13:22.until tomorrow, but I understand that the UN panel was divided, that

:13:23. > :13:28.this decision was unanimous. A brief look at some of the day's

:13:29. > :13:32.other news stories. The Bank of England has

:13:33. > :13:34.cut its prediction for economic growth and warned that wages

:13:35. > :13:36.are likely to increase The Bank's governor,

:13:37. > :13:39.Mark Carney, blamed "unforgiving" The bank also voted unanimously

:13:40. > :13:45.to keep interest rates on hold. It's now thought they may

:13:46. > :13:48.not rise this year. Detectives are hunting two men

:13:49. > :13:51.after a company boss was shot dead during an attempted robbery

:13:52. > :13:53.in Birmingham last night. Akhtar Javeed, who ran

:13:54. > :13:56.a soft drinks company, was fatally wounded

:13:57. > :13:58.during the raid at a warehouse. Police described the attack

:13:59. > :14:01.as targeted and a murder The charity Age UK is to be

:14:02. > :14:07.investigated after claims that it promoted gas and electricity deals

:14:08. > :14:10.with E.ON to elderly people in return for ?6 million

:14:11. > :14:13.from the energy supplier. E.ON said the deals were competitive

:14:14. > :14:26.when they were offered. A sperm whale which washed up

:14:27. > :14:30.on a beach in Norfolk has died this evening, despite the best efforts

:14:31. > :14:32.of rescuers to keep it alive The whale was successfully refloated

:14:33. > :14:37.but is thought to have died from internal injuries received

:14:38. > :14:41.when it was stranded. Spain has confirmed Europe's first

:14:42. > :14:44.case of the Zika virus She'd recently returned from

:14:45. > :14:48.Colombia. The country has the highest number

:14:49. > :14:53.of Zika cases after Brazil, and authorities say they're

:14:54. > :14:56.expecting around 600 cases of microcephaly -

:14:57. > :15:00.the condition linked to the virus in which children are

:15:01. > :15:04.born with tiny heads. Our science editor David Shukman

:15:05. > :15:06.travelled to Baranquilla, in the north of Colombia,

:15:07. > :15:08.to find out what measures She's one of 2,000 pregnant women

:15:09. > :15:24.here in Colombia who've had symptoms So the doctor examines

:15:25. > :15:26.the baby's head. But good news - it's normal,

:15:27. > :15:31.and Jessica's face says it all. Five months into her pregnancy -

:15:32. > :15:38.so far, so good. "The most difficult part," she says,

:15:39. > :15:41."is that things can go wrong So she's going through a long list

:15:42. > :15:45.of checks that the Colombian There's a determination to avoid

:15:46. > :15:55.what's happening in Brazil. Hundreds of officials and volunteers

:15:56. > :16:00.are deployed to spread the message, here in Barranquilla,

:16:01. > :16:03.one of the worst affected cities. The campaign is led by

:16:04. > :16:05.the local health secretary. She persuades householders

:16:06. > :16:07.to let her in to look for breeding She says it's dirty and needs to be

:16:08. > :16:22.cleaned, and then does A quarter of a million homes

:16:23. > :16:35.here have been searched Empty bottles left open

:16:36. > :16:36.are another target. They could host mosquitoes

:16:37. > :16:49.and have to go. Our first objective, this problem,

:16:50. > :16:52.all the city think about Zika, all the people have

:16:53. > :16:53.to think about Zika more. At first light this morning

:16:54. > :16:57.we watched a great cloud of insecticide blasted

:16:58. > :16:59.into the streets. This might kill a lot

:17:00. > :17:01.of mosquitoes, but comes too late Officials here have been studying

:17:02. > :17:09.the pattern of infection in Brazil, to try to work out what it means

:17:10. > :17:13.for Colombia, and they conclude that it's inevitable that babies will be

:17:14. > :17:16.born with brains that are too small Now, they know there's no definitive

:17:17. > :17:24.proof yet that the Zika virus is to blame for that terrible

:17:25. > :17:27.condition, but they say there's enough evidence for them to see this

:17:28. > :17:30.as a serious health crisis. Armando de la Hoz, the region's

:17:31. > :17:32.head of health care, says Colombia is expecting 600

:17:33. > :17:38.babies with small brains. They listen very carefully

:17:39. > :17:45.to the experience of Brazil and hope that with more warning they can

:17:46. > :17:50.minimise the impact. We are worried, yes,

:17:51. > :17:55.but we are also hopeful because we know that we find it,

:17:56. > :17:59.we find out about it in an earlier stage and that we have opportunities

:18:00. > :18:01.that we have the information and that we are already

:18:02. > :18:05.working on the programme. Rehearsals for the

:18:06. > :18:07.carnival this weekend. Huge crowds will gather which means

:18:08. > :18:11.more chance to spread the virus through mosquitoes and maybe sexual

:18:12. > :18:15.transmission as well, after a confirmed case of that

:18:16. > :18:18.in Texas earlier this week, so there's a real risk

:18:19. > :18:21.from unprotected sex She's had Zika and is nine months

:18:22. > :18:31.pregnant and thinks But for so many women this is a time

:18:32. > :18:35.of terrible uncertainty. David Shukman, BBC News,

:18:36. > :18:42.in Barranquilla, Coloumbia. David Cameron has been warned

:18:43. > :18:45.that there is widespread concern among other EU countries

:18:46. > :18:48.about proposed changes A source close to the President

:18:49. > :18:54.of the European Council, Donald Tusk, has told the BBC that

:18:55. > :18:57."nobody is happy" about a draft deal Katya Adler is in Warsaw,

:18:58. > :19:12.where David Cameron How worried should Mr Cameron be?

:19:13. > :19:16.Well, Fiona, after so many months of negotiations and shuttle diplomacy

:19:17. > :19:19.it was widely assumed by the time David Cameron's draft EU proposal

:19:20. > :19:24.was published this week at least the big EU powers would be on board.

:19:25. > :19:28.What he was told by the man who represents all EU leaders in

:19:29. > :19:33.Brussels, they are not happy. None of them like it. That is a problem

:19:34. > :19:36.for the Prime Minister. His critics complain the draft deal is weak and

:19:37. > :19:41.watered down. European colleagues say it goes too far. Take the

:19:42. > :19:43.proposal to suspend EU migrant workers benefits, for example. It's

:19:44. > :19:49.politically important to the Prime Minister, but here in Poland, with

:19:50. > :19:52.800,000 Poles living in the UK, it's has been controversial from the

:19:53. > :19:58.start. He is coming here tomorrow. His second time in Warsaw in a

:19:59. > :20:01.matter of weeks. He knows every single EU leaders needs to be on

:20:02. > :20:06.board or there will be no deal at all. Should we worry about these

:20:07. > :20:11.disagreements? They are common currency in the EU. Even though

:20:12. > :20:15.Brussels bigwigs are saying, absolutely, David Cameron shall have

:20:16. > :20:20.his deal by the time of an EU Summit in two weeks' time he shouldn't yet

:20:21. > :20:30.count his EU chickens. Katya in Warsaw, thank you.

:20:31. > :20:34.Suicide is one of the biggest killers in the UK.

:20:35. > :20:40.New figures published today show that in 2014,

:20:41. > :20:46.New figures published today show that in 2014,

:20:47. > :20:51.Men are three times more likely to kill themselves,

:20:52. > :20:57.but suicide rates in women in England are at their highest

:20:58. > :21:03.Our correspondent, Ed Thomas, has been talking to the human rights

:21:04. > :21:05.barrister, Michael Mansfield, whose daughter took her own

:21:06. > :21:09.Anna, my darling daughter, everything you ever did was marked

:21:10. > :21:13.by conspicuous courage and compassion.

:21:14. > :21:15.The words of a grieving father, a poem for Anna.

:21:16. > :21:17.Beautiful, outgoing, warm, always ready to give herself.

:21:18. > :21:27.Anna was a wife, a mother of two children.

:21:28. > :21:28.But last April she faced redundancy, she believed she'd failed those

:21:29. > :21:35.There was silence, just like this - "Anna's dead?"

:21:36. > :21:40.She said, "Anna's dead and we haven't been able to reach

:21:41. > :21:46.you before now," and put the phone down.

:21:47. > :21:53.You want to immediately turn it back.

:21:54. > :21:55.No, this isn't real, it hasn't happened,

:21:56. > :21:59.So I feel angry with myself that we didn't get

:22:00. > :22:07.And I'm going, I've got to go as well because what's the point?

:22:08. > :22:12.Immensely guilty because you love her so much.

:22:13. > :22:14.And then you go, Anna, wait a minute, why didn't

:22:15. > :22:21.I would like to have said, if only Anna you could lift the lid

:22:22. > :22:26.All these people are so shocked and would have absolutely sprinted

:22:27. > :22:33.to support you and get you through this.

:22:34. > :22:40.Michael and his partner now help others cope with what's left behind

:22:41. > :22:42.- the anger, blame and those unanswered questions.

:22:43. > :22:47.A place for families living with suicide.

:22:48. > :22:52.Anna's suicide literally brought Michael to his knees, emotionally.

:22:53. > :23:10.And all that's left are the memories of a father and daughter.

:23:11. > :23:14.You think she's always going to be there, so you don't think you need

:23:15. > :23:17.to - oh, my goodness, I've got to see her every day

:23:18. > :23:25.So then when she's not there you miss the companionship.

:23:26. > :23:28.If you could have one more conversation with Anna,

:23:29. > :23:55.I'd say only the one thing, really - loved you always, always will.

:23:56. > :24:02.Michael Mansfield talking about his daughter there.

:24:03. > :24:05.If you've been affected by these issues and would like details

:24:06. > :24:07.of organisations which offer advice and support, then you can go online

:24:08. > :24:10.to bbc.co.uk/actionline or call the BBC Action Line to hear recorded

:24:19. > :24:21.10 years ago, Saudi Arabia launched an ambitious project to build

:24:22. > :24:23.an enormous city on the shores of the Red Sea.

:24:24. > :24:26.Since then, billions of dollars has been ploughed into constructing

:24:27. > :24:27.the so-called King Abdullah Economic City.

:24:28. > :24:29.The dream is a city that will eventually house

:24:30. > :24:32.But amid low oil prices and uncertainty over the Saudi

:24:33. > :24:34.economy, that dream is looking increasingly distant,

:24:35. > :24:36.only 5,000 people have moved in so far.

:24:37. > :24:43.From King Abdullah Economic City, Stephen Sackur reports.

:24:44. > :24:44.The entrance to Saudi Arabia's new metropolis,

:24:45. > :24:47.King Abdullah Economic City, one of the most ambitious

:24:48. > :24:53.The plan is to turn this patch of desert, on the Red Sea,

:24:54. > :24:56.into a city of two million, a magnet for global business

:24:57. > :25:03.Project boss, Fahd Al-Rasheed, is a new kind of Saudi leader -

:25:04. > :25:10.There is nothing like coming to a construction site

:25:11. > :25:13.if you are in the business of construction and development

:25:14. > :25:16.I get an adrenaline shot every time I'm here.

:25:17. > :25:17.The scale of this project is mind-boggling.

:25:18. > :25:20.It's projected to cost more than $100 billion.

:25:21. > :25:24.This is one of the world's biggest construction projects and maybe it

:25:25. > :25:28.made sense when oil was $100 a barrel, but now the oil

:25:29. > :25:37.The danger for Saudi Arabia is that this looks like one

:25:38. > :25:43.Saudi Arabia is now desperately trying to diversify and privatise

:25:44. > :25:49.They talk of opening up to the world.

:25:50. > :25:52.The cornerstone of the new city will be one of the world's biggest

:25:53. > :25:59.By the end of 2016, it will be the largest port on the Red Sea.

:26:00. > :26:01.But it is, ultimately, in the middle nowhere.

:26:02. > :26:04.I mean, if we pan around the camera you know, really,

:26:05. > :26:10.You have to be a bit of a dreamer to believe that this

:26:11. > :26:14.You have to be a dreamer to build something like this,

:26:15. > :26:17.but you also have to believe in the power of the potential

:26:18. > :26:23.This Red Sea waterfront is the only part of the city that isn't

:26:24. > :26:27.a building site, but look carefully, there are virtually no people.

:26:28. > :26:31.The entire city has 5,000 residents, the two million target

:26:32. > :27:03.For now, the city has just one school, these the children

:27:04. > :27:04.of ex-patriots drawn by lucrative jobs in planning and construction.

:27:05. > :27:06.If confidence in the future is slipping, they're not showing it.

:27:07. > :27:06.The school develops with the city, so it's constantly evolving

:27:07. > :27:07.and what's just a really vibrant, exciting place to live

:27:08. > :27:08.and the city's changing and as the city changes,

:27:09. > :27:10.King Abdullah Economic City is a gamble on Saudi Arabia's future.

:27:11. > :27:11.This deeply conservative Kingdom is at the heart

:27:12. > :27:14.You have been to Riyadh, does this look to you like that

:27:15. > :27:18.Well, I've talked a lot of people, many of whom talk about uncertainty.

:27:19. > :27:21.Well, I think that you're seeing today a different era

:27:22. > :27:24.An era that's going to see reform, really a restructuring

:27:25. > :27:27.of the economy, but I think what people are mostly worried

:27:28. > :27:33.Many young Saudis hope King Abdullah Economic City

:27:34. > :27:37.will symbolise a new, open, outward-looking Kingdom,

:27:38. > :27:39.but the turbulent economics and politics of the Middle East

:27:40. > :27:49.Stephen Sackur, BBC News, King Abdullah Economic City.

:27:50. > :27:52.You can see more of that report from Stephen Sackur on Hardtalk

:27:53. > :27:55.on Monday at 8.30pm in the evening on the BBC News Channel

:27:56. > :28:09.Matt LeBlanc, the actor best known for his role as Joey in the American

:28:10. > :28:12.sitcom Friends, is to join Chris Evans as a presenter

:28:13. > :28:16.He's already appeared on the show as part of its 'star in a reasonably

:28:17. > :28:19.priced car' and holds the record for the fastest celebrity lap.

:28:20. > :28:22.The actor says he's a "car nut and massive fan" of the programme

:28:23. > :28:24.which is set to return later this year.

:28:25. > :28:27.It all started with a Christmas card from the head of GCHQ,

:28:28. > :28:29.Britain's code-breaking intelligence agency.

:28:30. > :28:32.Inside was a link which led to the first stage of a puzzle.

:28:33. > :28:34.Since then, thousands have tried to solve it

:28:35. > :28:39.Tonight, we can report that three people have at last managed

:28:40. > :28:44.Our security correspondent, Gordon Corera, has more.

:28:45. > :28:48.It was the fiendish set of puzzles that went on to stump more than half

:28:49. > :28:52.a million people, but tonight we reveal the answers.

:28:53. > :28:57.I was invited to a secret London location, there I met two

:28:58. > :29:02.of the GCHQ experts responsible for setting the puzzle.

:29:03. > :29:07.Well, I don't think there's any coincidence that you find a bunch

:29:08. > :29:10.of people setting these sorts of problems who are also working

:29:11. > :29:13.on the kind of problems that GCHQ work on.

:29:14. > :29:15.We're faced with problems where there's incomplete

:29:16. > :29:16.information, there's ambiguous information,

:29:17. > :29:19.and that's the sort of thing that we expect people to do

:29:20. > :29:25.Could you show us just how one of the puzzles is solved?

:29:26. > :29:57.Here's how you solve another of the puzzles.

:29:58. > :29:59.When you arrange these squares correctly you get the first word

:30:00. > :30:07.The arrow and the dice surrounding the words point you to one

:30:08. > :30:09.of the letters from the second word of the title.

:30:10. > :30:12.When you have all of these letters, they reveal the answer.

:30:13. > :30:17.They called it the hardest puzzle in the world and it takes some

:30:18. > :30:18.serious intellectual fire power to solve.

:30:19. > :30:23.Well, they get this glass paperweight and a fair bit

:30:24. > :30:30.And here's one of the three people judged winners for getting

:30:31. > :30:35.He spoke to us in Edinburgh before he had to head out

:30:36. > :30:41.It's really obvious when you say it like this, but the more puzzles

:30:42. > :30:43.you do, the better you get at doing puzzles.

:30:44. > :30:48.I've done a lot of puzzles, I'm a bit of an addict.

:30:49. > :30:51.For those still seeking answers, they can be found tonight

:30:52. > :31:16.Newsnight's about to begin over on BBC Two in a few moments.

:31:17. > :31:21.In the studio, top politicians and military experts on both sides
