David Cameron continues his frantic diplomacy, today in Brussels trying | :00:11. | :00:13. | |
Just two days to go before the crucial summit and he's told | :00:14. | :00:17. | |
there are still tough negotiations ahead. | :00:18. | :00:20. | |
But back home, a speech by Prince William is interpreted | :00:21. | :00:22. | |
by some as support to keep the UK within the EU. | :00:23. | :00:26. | |
In an increasingly turbulent world, our ability to unite in common | :00:27. | :00:31. | |
action with other nations is essential. | :00:32. | :00:35. | |
The palace though says Prince William's comments were not | :00:36. | :00:37. | |
Also tonight: A new cancer treatment that's showing unprecedented success | :00:38. | :00:43. | |
in trials - appearing to make the cancer vanish. | :00:44. | :00:47. | |
Growing international pressure on Russia as Moscow is forced | :00:48. | :00:51. | |
to deny again it bombed hospitals in Syria. | :00:52. | :00:57. | |
I'll be explaining how scientific understanding of mental health | :00:58. | :01:02. | |
illness is being advanced by these - miniature human brains being grown | :01:03. | :01:05. | |
And the joke's on George Clooney in the Coen Brothers' latest film - | :01:06. | :01:13. | |
Later on BBC London: A man goes on trial accused of planning | :01:14. | :01:24. | |
to attack British or American military personnel in the UK. | :01:25. | :01:27. | |
And captured on camera - can Nasa technology help cut | :01:28. | :01:30. | |
David Cameron has completed a day of frantic diplomacy in Brussels | :01:31. | :01:54. | |
trying to muster support for his EU reform proposals before the meeting | :01:55. | :01:57. | |
on Thursday at which he hopes European leaders will approve them. | :01:58. | :02:01. | |
Here a speech given by Prince William at the Foreign Office | :02:02. | :02:03. | |
has been interpreted by campaigners as a signal | :02:04. | :02:06. | |
he supports their call to keep Britain in the EU. | :02:07. | :02:10. | |
Kensington Palace deny he was doing any such thing. | :02:11. | :02:13. | |
Our political editor Laura Kuenssberg reports | :02:14. | :02:16. | |
on the Prime Minister's efforts in Brussels - and those | :02:17. | :02:18. | |
The Foreign Office is as grand as a palace, so Prince William might | :02:19. | :02:24. | |
Kensington Palace denies it, but just as the Government | :02:25. | :02:31. | |
prepares its fight to stay in the EU, was the Duke taking sides? | :02:32. | :02:37. | |
In an increasingly turbulent world, our ability to unite in common | :02:38. | :02:40. | |
action with other nations is essential. | :02:41. | :02:44. | |
Right now, the big questions with which you wrestle, | :02:45. | :02:49. | |
in the UN, Nato, the Middle East and elsewhere are predicated | :02:50. | :02:52. | |
on your commitment to working in partnership with others. | :02:53. | :02:56. | |
Whatever William meant, for the Prime Minister "technical | :02:57. | :03:02. | |
He'll most likely get other leaders to agree to a new relationship, | :03:03. | :03:07. | |
but after that and after you've voted in a referendum, | :03:08. | :03:10. | |
probably in June, the European Parliament gets its say. | :03:11. | :03:14. | |
Its leader made plain that MEPs could block Britain's changes. | :03:15. | :03:17. | |
No government can go to a parliament and say - | :03:18. | :03:21. | |
this is our proposal, can you give a guarantee | :03:22. | :03:23. | |
But the main groups in Brussels do believe | :03:24. | :03:30. | |
For those who want to leave the EU, the threat of wrecking the deal | :03:31. | :03:38. | |
If we vote to remain and then we find the European Parliament have | :03:39. | :03:42. | |
scuppered it, well then actually the British people have been sold | :03:43. | :03:45. | |
And if it feels like the Prime Minister is making | :03:46. | :03:48. | |
a last-minute dash, that's because he is, | :03:49. | :03:51. | |
still trying to secure support to cut child benefit for EU | :03:52. | :03:53. | |
migrants, to delay paying tax credit to EU workers, too. | :03:54. | :03:57. | |
Persuading Europe's power players the UK is entitled | :03:58. | :04:01. | |
But for all the nerves at home, the expectation is the deal | :04:02. | :04:08. | |
For weeks there's not been talk of much else in this place. | :04:09. | :04:13. | |
The backwards and forwards between Westminster and Brussels has | :04:14. | :04:16. | |
dominated what the Government's been doing, but before long this decision | :04:17. | :04:20. | |
comes to all of us and it's coming soon to a town near you. | :04:21. | :04:26. | |
We hope for better world, for a better country for ourselves. | :04:27. | :04:30. | |
On winter nights, in pub back rooms, campaigners are starting to gather. | :04:31. | :04:34. | |
In Surrey, for some like the Woodhouses', | :04:35. | :04:36. | |
leaving the EU is about controlling who lives here. | :04:37. | :04:40. | |
Now, if I had to take up arms at my age, at 72, | :04:41. | :04:43. | |
to protect my country, I would do it and give my life for it. | :04:44. | :04:46. | |
And, for you, this choice is as serious as that? | :04:47. | :04:49. | |
We want doctors, we want nurses, we want people with skills. | :04:50. | :04:59. | |
We need them, there's no doubt about that, but we don't | :05:00. | :05:02. | |
I'm going to be taking time off work and I'm going to be campaigning | :05:03. | :05:08. | |
night and day because this is a unique opportunity. | :05:09. | :05:10. | |
A very different crowd in East London, for staying in, | :05:11. | :05:13. | |
What is it that makes you care enough to come here on a week | :05:14. | :05:19. | |
day night, after work, on a cold winter's evening? | :05:20. | :05:22. | |
I think it's hard to be, sort of, passionate | :05:23. | :05:24. | |
about being pro-European, but I think that it's something that | :05:25. | :05:28. | |
I think we could easily sleepwalk out of the EU. | :05:29. | :05:33. | |
It is really important, it's also part of my identity. | :05:34. | :05:35. | |
I think people like us, who are trade unionists, | :05:36. | :05:43. | |
need to make sure that we engage in the debate because otherwise it's | :05:44. | :05:46. | |
going to be pro-business Tories fighting little England | :05:47. | :05:49. | |
As the big day in Brussels approaches, the campaigns | :05:50. | :05:57. | |
If the deal's done, you'll vote within months to stay or leave | :05:58. | :06:02. | |
Let's speak to our Europe Editor Katya Adler in Brussels. | :06:03. | :06:12. | |
David Cameron yet again doing the rounds, this time where you are in | :06:13. | :06:19. | |
Brussels, does it look like he will succeed? Well, Fiona, here in EU | :06:20. | :06:25. | |
headquarters, it is very rarely described as a hotbed of excitement | :06:26. | :06:29. | |
and drama, but there is a real air of tension tonight. To be or not to | :06:30. | :06:34. | |
be, tweeted the European Council president when he published David | :06:35. | :06:38. | |
Cameron's draft reform proposals a couple of weeks ago, and that is the | :06:39. | :06:43. | |
burning question now. Can the Prime Minister get his reforms passed | :06:44. | :06:55. | |
when the countries of Central and Eastern Europe are still wrangling | :06:56. | :06:58. | |
over the details of cutting EU migrant benefits, and France is | :06:59. | :07:01. | |
growling in the face of safeguards for eurozone legislation. Every | :07:02. | :07:03. | |
single country has to sign up for this deal and that means every | :07:04. | :07:06. | |
single EU leader has the potential to scupper it. That said, after | :07:07. | :07:12. | |
hours of the gauche Asians probably a fudge will be merged. France will | :07:13. | :07:20. | |
probably crowed that it stopped Britain getting a veto over eurozone | :07:21. | :07:25. | |
legislation, even though David Cameron never actually asked for | :07:26. | :07:29. | |
one. He knows whatever the deal he gets here in Brussels, it will be | :07:30. | :07:34. | |
dismissed by the critics at home. If he does get a deal this week, it | :07:35. | :07:39. | |
will enable him to call a referendum as early as June. His strategy will | :07:40. | :07:48. | |
be if he can claim to tackle the issue of migration, he can win over | :07:49. | :07:49. | |
the voters he needs. Thank you. Scientists in America believe | :07:50. | :07:53. | |
they may have found a potentially They've managed to retrain cells | :07:54. | :07:55. | |
in the body's own immune system In a trial, more than 90% | :07:56. | :07:59. | |
of terminally-ill patients with blood cancers went | :08:00. | :08:03. | |
into complete remission. This is the body's natural | :08:04. | :08:05. | |
defence mechanism at work, an immune cell attacking | :08:06. | :08:10. | |
and neutrualising a cancer cell, but when that doesn't function | :08:11. | :08:14. | |
properly intervention's needed. This new study shows that specially | :08:15. | :08:19. | |
engineered immune cells, injected back into the patient, | :08:20. | :08:21. | |
can suppress a type of blood cancer. The study was published | :08:22. | :08:27. | |
in the United States and British researchers, working in this field, | :08:28. | :08:30. | |
say it offers exciting potential We know the immune system | :08:31. | :08:32. | |
is incredibly powerful, we know we can harness cells | :08:33. | :08:37. | |
from the immune system, engineer them and give | :08:38. | :08:40. | |
them back to patients. These effects are not just for a few | :08:41. | :08:42. | |
weeks or a couple of months, they're long-lasting | :08:43. | :08:45. | |
effects over many months So we think the enormous power | :08:46. | :08:47. | |
of the immune system in these kind of settings is there to be | :08:48. | :08:53. | |
harnessed, actually. This is how the new therapy worked, | :08:54. | :08:57. | |
a blood sample was taken from the patient and immune cells | :08:58. | :09:00. | |
were separated out and removed. Each one was modified | :09:01. | :09:05. | |
and transformed into a targeted immune cell to seek out | :09:06. | :09:09. | |
and destroy cancer cells. The cells were then grown | :09:10. | :09:13. | |
in a laboratory and stored. Later they were returned | :09:14. | :09:18. | |
to the patient's bloodstream where they were ready to detect | :09:19. | :09:20. | |
and then attack the cancer cells. The patients helped by the therapy | :09:21. | :09:25. | |
had all undergone other forms of treatment which had failed, | :09:26. | :09:28. | |
including chemotherapy and radiotherapy, but cancer experts | :09:29. | :09:31. | |
say more extensive trials These results are quite exciting, | :09:32. | :09:35. | |
but it's important to know this These still early steps | :09:36. | :09:40. | |
towards making this treatment George knows all about the struggle | :09:41. | :09:46. | |
with leukaemia, a type He was diagnosed in 2005, | :09:47. | :09:51. | |
was treated and got better. The cancer returned | :09:52. | :09:57. | |
and he had another successful The latest trial won't necessarily | :09:58. | :09:59. | |
help him, but he says its success is heartening for everyone | :10:00. | :10:05. | |
with the cancer. Any kind of research that might lead | :10:06. | :10:07. | |
to another option for people with cancers is | :10:08. | :10:12. | |
definitely good news. I try not to get too | :10:13. | :10:18. | |
excited about it because, as with all these trials, | :10:19. | :10:23. | |
it's in the early stages. There's some caution as only a small | :10:24. | :10:27. | |
number of patients were involved, but there's agreement that this | :10:28. | :10:31. | |
study is an important development International pressure is mounting | :10:32. | :10:34. | |
on Russia after claims that it has The Turkish foreign ministry blames | :10:35. | :10:44. | |
Russia for missile attacks on several hospitals and schools | :10:45. | :10:48. | |
in Syria yesterday In another development, | :10:49. | :10:51. | |
the United Nations says Syria has agreed to let convoys take aid | :10:52. | :10:57. | |
to people trapped in Here's our diplomatic | :10:58. | :11:00. | |
correspondent Bridget Kendall. What looks like a Russian fighter | :11:01. | :11:18. | |
jet in the skies over northern Syria and then this. Suspected cluster | :11:19. | :11:26. | |
bombs. Imagine being in one of those buildings, north of the city of | :11:27. | :11:34. | |
Aleppo yesterday. And this is the sort of damage being caused, | :11:35. | :11:39. | |
according to footage supplied by Syrian opposition activists. These | :11:40. | :11:43. | |
strikes are being widely blamed on Syrian and Russian forces. And after | :11:44. | :11:49. | |
yesterday's direct hits on hospital Sunday school where they are still | :11:50. | :11:54. | |
looking for victims, the chorus of outrage is growing. Tonight, | :11:55. | :11:57. | |
Britain's Defence Secretary added his voice, to those who say it could | :11:58. | :12:04. | |
amount to a war crime. If these reports are true, then these amount | :12:05. | :12:10. | |
to war crimes. These are crimes against the civilian population, a | :12:11. | :12:13. | |
breach of the law of armed conflict, in breach of all international | :12:14. | :12:17. | |
humanitarian law. Russia needs to be held to account for what it is now | :12:18. | :12:23. | |
doing, bombing innocent civilians, it is an abomination. The Syrian | :12:24. | :12:30. | |
army with its Russian and Iranian battlers insist their advance into | :12:31. | :12:33. | |
northern Syria is to liberate areas from terrorists. Today, Russia | :12:34. | :12:40. | |
angrily denied suspicions that its air strikes had hit hospitals, | :12:41. | :12:47. | |
implying this was a propaganda ploy. TRANSLATION: Reports in the Western | :12:48. | :12:51. | |
media about supposedly Russian air strikes on victims in the media have | :12:52. | :12:55. | |
grown like a snowball. It started with one hospital in the province of | :12:56. | :13:04. | |
Idlib in the morning. By the end of the day, a risen to five hospitals | :13:05. | :13:07. | |
and then schools. There is no excuse for targeting | :13:08. | :13:09. | |
innocent civilians of course, but the battlefield around Aleppo is | :13:10. | :13:13. | |
complicated. Not only moderate rebels backed by the west are being | :13:14. | :13:18. | |
attacked, more extreme fighters linked to Al-Qaeda and designated | :13:19. | :13:24. | |
terror group by the United Nations, which is why Russia and Syria as | :13:25. | :13:31. | |
they are bombing the just targets. What's more, also attacking rebel | :13:32. | :13:36. | |
positions in northern Syria are the Syrian Kurds, keen to extend their | :13:37. | :13:39. | |
enclaves coloured green. The Kurds were working with the Americans | :13:40. | :13:44. | |
against so-called Islamic State or ices controlling the territory in | :13:45. | :13:48. | |
red. Now they are using the Syrian and Russian push for their own ends, | :13:49. | :13:53. | |
alarming Turkey which sees any Kurdish advanced near the border as | :13:54. | :13:59. | |
a security threat. But at least one fragile ray of hope today from | :14:00. | :14:03. | |
Damascus. They pledged secured by the UN special envoy that food aid | :14:04. | :14:07. | |
May be let into some besieged areas tomorrow. | :14:08. | :14:11. | |
Let's take a brief look at some of the day's other news stories. | :14:12. | :14:22. | |
German investigators say human error was probably to blame for the | :14:23. | :14:25. | |
11 people died and 80 were injured in the head-on collision | :14:26. | :14:29. | |
An area controller whom it's alleged sent a wrong signal to the | :14:30. | :14:33. | |
two trains is likely to be charged with involuntary manslaughter. | :14:34. | :14:35. | |
The trial has begun of a Luton man charged with planning terror attacks | :14:36. | :14:38. | |
on British and American military personnel at air bases | :14:39. | :14:40. | |
Junead Khan, who's 25, is also accused with his uncle, | :14:41. | :14:47. | |
Shazib Khan, of planning to travel to Syria | :14:48. | :14:48. | |
Inflation has risen very slightly to its highest level for a year, | :14:49. | :15:08. | |
0.2% to 0.3% as measured by the Consumer Prices Index. | :15:09. | :15:10. | |
The cost of fuel falling less quickly than before | :15:11. | :15:12. | |
The figure is still well below the Bank of England's target of 2%. | :15:13. | :15:21. | |
The Metropolitan Police Commissioner, | :15:22. | :15:22. | |
Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe, has met Lord Brittan's widow and apologised | :15:23. | :15:24. | |
in person about Scotland Yard's handling of its investigation | :15:25. | :15:27. | |
into an allegation of rape against the former Home Secretary. | :15:28. | :15:29. | |
Officers questioned Lord Brittan and he died in January last year | :15:30. | :15:32. | |
without knowing the outcome of the inquiry. | :15:33. | :15:33. | |
Our home affairs correspondent Tom Symonds is at New Scotland Yard. | :15:34. | :15:36. | |
The Commissioner phrased his apology very carefully. | :15:37. | :15:37. | |
His force has been under extreme pressure about its investigation | :15:38. | :15:42. | |
into some past sexual abuse cases. He appeared intent on not offering | :15:43. | :15:49. | |
an unreserved apology. Lady Brittan, we're told, was more interested in | :15:50. | :15:52. | |
explanations than apologies. They emerged from this meeting with | :15:53. | :15:55. | |
different impressions of what was said. | :15:56. | :16:02. | |
In Lord Brittan's final years, he was accused | :16:03. | :16:04. | |
He was questioned and, after he died, his home | :16:05. | :16:12. | |
Today, his wife received a face-to-face apology. | :16:13. | :16:15. | |
The family described it as a "full apology" which was accepted. | :16:16. | :16:17. | |
But on BBC Radio London, Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe described it | :16:18. | :16:20. | |
I confirm the apology that we made, two months ago now, was an apology | :16:21. | :16:28. | |
for not telling her at an earlier stage about the fact that | :16:29. | :16:31. | |
Lord Brittan, who by that stage unfortunately had died, | :16:32. | :16:34. | |
was not to be prosecuted in the future, and there was no | :16:35. | :16:37. | |
This all results from claims on an investigative website that | :16:38. | :16:53. | |
Lord Brittan raped a woman, known as Jane, in 1967. | :16:54. | :16:56. | |
She reported it to the police four years ago. | :16:57. | :16:58. | |
But the claim proved difficult to fully corroborate. | :16:59. | :17:00. | |
And, in August 2013, the Crown Prosecution Service | :17:01. | :17:02. | |
advised there was insufficient evidence to continue | :17:03. | :17:03. | |
But the Met interviewed Lord Brittan in May 2014, | :17:04. | :17:07. | |
and then spent months trying to get prosecutors to review the case, | :17:08. | :17:09. | |
during which, in January 2015, Lord Brittan died. | :17:10. | :17:14. | |
The inquiry finally came to an end on April 2015. | :17:15. | :17:17. | |
But the Met failed to tell Lord Brittan's family until October, | :17:18. | :17:22. | |
and it's for this the force has apologised. | :17:23. | :17:25. | |
But Scotland Yard's made no apology for its other big investigation. | :17:26. | :17:28. | |
Operation Midland is hunting for evidence of a paedophile | :17:29. | :17:30. | |
His family has asked for answers to a further 30 questions. | :17:31. | :17:41. | |
However cordial, today's meeting is unlikely to silence critics | :17:42. | :17:44. | |
Reputations have been damaged by a clumsy, ham-fisted | :17:45. | :17:52. | |
Metropolitan Police investigation, presided over by a Commissioner | :17:53. | :17:53. | |
who seems totally incapable of understanding how revolted | :17:54. | :17:55. | |
the public are by what we now know has happened. | :17:56. | :18:03. | |
The Met insists, in Lord Brittan's case and others, it's trying | :18:04. | :18:05. | |
to balance the requirements of justice with the need for fairness. | :18:06. | :18:08. | |
With a hostile media constantly watching. | :18:09. | :18:14. | |
Our understanding of the human brain is undergoing a revolution, | :18:15. | :18:23. | |
according to some of the world's top neuroscientists. | :18:24. | :18:25. | |
Advances in genetics and brain imaging are enabling researchers | :18:26. | :18:27. | |
to discover more about mental illness, opening up | :18:28. | :18:29. | |
the possibilities for new treatments. | :18:30. | :18:30. | |
Our medical correspondent, Fergus Walsh, has been investigating | :18:31. | :18:32. | |
It is a privilege to be able to examine this, | :18:33. | :18:36. | |
the right hemisphere of a human brain, one of hundreds of brains | :18:37. | :18:40. | |
donated in the UK for medical research every year. | :18:41. | :18:44. | |
This delicate structure is responsible for thought, | :18:45. | :18:52. | |
memory, language, emotion, consciousness - the very things | :18:53. | :19:01. | |
Yet despite all our scientific knowledge, there is still a huge | :19:02. | :19:04. | |
amount yet to discover about how the brain works and why | :19:05. | :19:07. | |
But the brain is beginning to give up its secrets. | :19:08. | :19:12. | |
Advances in biology mean many genes implicated in mental illness have | :19:13. | :19:16. | |
been identified and new scanning techniques are creating something | :19:17. | :19:18. | |
extraordinary - a complete map of the brain's intricate | :19:19. | :19:21. | |
These coloured lines represent bundles of nerve fibres linking | :19:22. | :19:29. | |
different parts of the brain through a number of highly connected hubs. | :19:30. | :19:36. | |
There are bits of the brain that you can talk of as being hubs | :19:37. | :19:39. | |
in the brain in the same way that Heathrow is a hub | :19:40. | :19:42. | |
Researchers have found that people with schizophrenia tend to have | :19:43. | :19:46. | |
fewer hubs, so their brain networks are less well-connected | :19:47. | :19:48. | |
Where the excitement is building at the moment is linking the network | :19:49. | :19:56. | |
diagrams that we can get out of imaging to what we're learning | :19:57. | :20:00. | |
If we can bring those two things together, | :20:01. | :20:04. | |
then we may be able to understand more clearly | :20:05. | :20:07. | |
what are the mechanisms, the genetic mechanisms, | :20:08. | :20:10. | |
that drive network development to go off on a somewhat different path | :20:11. | :20:13. | |
And if we can understand mechanisms, then we can design new treatments. | :20:14. | :20:21. | |
As well as deciphering the brain's network of connections, | :20:22. | :20:24. | |
scientists are also learning more about its earliest stages | :20:25. | :20:28. | |
of development, by growing miniature brains. | :20:29. | :20:33. | |
Known as organoids, here they are in the hands | :20:34. | :20:37. | |
of the scientist who invented the technique, incubating | :20:38. | :20:40. | |
in a Medical Research Council lab in Cambridge. | :20:41. | :20:45. | |
These tiny balls of tissue mimic what the early foetal brain | :20:46. | :20:48. | |
Each was grown from a single cell donated by a patient. | :20:49. | :20:55. | |
In those with mental illness, their mini brains can help explore | :20:56. | :21:00. | |
We can actually then compare the organoids to the patient and see | :21:01. | :21:05. | |
if we can see some of the features of the disorder and try | :21:06. | :21:09. | |
to understand what caused those features. | :21:10. | :21:11. | |
I think it's a really huge step towards some hopefully really | :21:12. | :21:14. | |
amazing breakthroughs in what has been a desert | :21:15. | :21:17. | |
Mental health disorders have been incredibly lacking in terms | :21:18. | :21:21. | |
of new medications to treat these really devastating disorders. | :21:22. | :21:27. | |
So when will this research pay dividends in delivering | :21:28. | :21:38. | |
In the next five to ten years you can expect two things | :21:39. | :21:42. | |
One, we'll be able to use neuroscience and genetics to target | :21:43. | :21:46. | |
treatments better to patients, and this could happen | :21:47. | :21:48. | |
The second is that, based on the knowledge we have now, | :21:49. | :21:53. | |
we could actually have new medications, not for an entire | :21:54. | :21:55. | |
Of course, our mental health is determined by our life | :21:56. | :22:02. | |
experiences as well as the genes we inherit. | :22:03. | :22:11. | |
The more we discover about this masterpiece of evolution, | :22:12. | :22:13. | |
the greater the chance we have of treating it when it goes wrong. | :22:14. | :22:16. | |
There's plenty more from BBC One's season on mental health. | :22:17. | :22:21. | |
All the details are on our special website at bbc.co.uk/inthemind. | :22:22. | :22:24. | |

There's anger tonight amongst Scottish National Party politicians | :22:36. | :22:38. | |
trying to finalise the funding for Scotland's new powers agreed | :22:39. | :22:40. | |
Talks are currently at a stalemate and the Scottish Parliament has set | :22:41. | :22:46. | |
next Tuesday as a deadline for an agreement. | :22:47. | :22:48. | |
Our Scotland editor, Sarah Smith, is in Edinburgh for us tonight. | :22:49. | :22:51. | |
Sarah, the mood of the SNP hasn't been helped by a key minister | :22:52. | :22:55. | |
in the negotiations going on holiday? | :22:56. | :22:58. | |
Well, that's right. The SNP are absolutely furious that they are at | :22:59. | :23:05. | |
a critical point in these negotiations. The Chief Secretary to | :23:06. | :23:13. | |
the Treasury has gone on holiday to France. They are approaching a | :23:14. | :23:16. | |
deadline in these talks because if they don't do a deal by the | :23:17. | :23:19. | |
beginning of next week, the Scottish Parliament say there may not be time | :23:20. | :23:24. | |
to enact all those new powers Holyrood were promised in the wake | :23:25. | :23:29. | |
of the 2014 referendum they won't won't be in place for time for the | :23:30. | :23:39. | |
Scottish elections in May. The Treasury say he is prepared to cut | :23:40. | :23:43. | |
the holiday short if the Scottish Government make a substantial move | :23:44. | :23:46. | |
in the negotiations. What they are arguing about is how much they | :23:47. | :23:49. | |
should cut the block grant that the UK Government gives to the Scottish | :23:50. | :23:54. | |
Parliament once Holyrood takes control of income taxes in Scotland. | :23:55. | :23:57. | |
The negotiations do not seem to be going very well. They are not | :23:58. | :24:00. | |
anywhere close to reaching agreement. If they don't get it done | :24:01. | :24:03. | |
in time, if they don't get it agreed by the deadline this issue could | :24:04. | :24:06. | |
really dominate the Scottish elections in May. You'll have the | :24:07. | :24:12. | |
SNP complaining that Westminster are trying to cheat Scotland out of | :24:13. | :24:15. | |
billions of pounds in funding. Tory ministers are saying the Scottish | :24:16. | :24:18. | |
Government are trying to have their cake and each other people's cases | :24:19. | :24:22. | |
as well. Sarah in Edinburgh, thank you. | :24:23. | :24:31. | |
In America, former President, George W Bush, has emerged | :24:32. | :24:33. | |
from self-imposed political hibernation to hit the campaign | :24:34. | :24:35. | |
trail in his brother's bid to make it to the White House. | :24:36. | :24:38. | |
His younger sibling, Jeb, is battling to win | :24:39. | :24:40. | |
the Republican presidential nomination. | :24:41. | :24:41. | |
The pair appeared together at a rally in South Carolina | :24:42. | :24:44. | |
as our North America editor, Jon Sopel, assesses | :24:45. | :24:46. | |
whether the family name will be a help or a hindrance. | :24:47. | :24:49. | |
Hold on, one second, Mr President, here we go... | :24:50. | :24:51. | |
This is the lesser spotted George W Bush. | :24:52. | :24:53. | |
Since leaving office seven years ago, he's assiduously stayed out | :24:54. | :24:55. | |
But he's back, to help his kid brother. | :24:56. | :24:58. | |
This is the Bush family engaged in mission, Stop Donald Trump. | :24:59. | :25:06. | |
Real strength, strength of purpose, comes from integrity and character. | :25:07. | :25:16. | |
And in my experience, the strongest person usually isn't | :25:17. | :25:18. | |
Donald Trump has shown nothing but disdain for Jeb Bush | :25:19. | :25:25. | |
This ferocious debate took place at the weekend. | :25:26. | :25:31. | |
George Bush made a mistake, we can make mistakes, | :25:32. | :25:33. | |
I couldn't care less about the insults that Donald Trump | :25:34. | :25:39. | |
It's blood sport for him, he enjoys it and I'm glad he's | :25:40. | :25:44. | |
But I am sick and tired of him going after my family. | :25:45. | :25:48. | |
The World Trade Center came down during your brother's reign. | :25:49. | :25:51. | |
He's had the gall to go after my mother. | :25:52. | :25:53. | |
Almost the most striking thing about Jeb's campaign is the logo. | :25:54. | :25:57. | |
His first name, an exclamation mark and no mention | :25:58. | :26:00. | |
It's as if he wants to put the maximum distance between himself | :26:01. | :26:08. | |
and his big brother and his father, President George HW Bush. | :26:09. | :26:11. | |
But as this lacklustre campaign has faltered, | :26:12. | :26:14. | |
so the need to rely on the family has grown. | :26:15. | :26:17. | |
And the great matriarch of the Bush family, Barbara, | :26:18. | :26:22. | |
First Lady a quarter of a century ago, has also been out and about. | :26:23. | :26:25. | |
But for the moment, this dynastic family might have to accept that | :26:26. | :26:42. | |
for this generation, the Bush brand of Republicanism | :26:43. | :26:44. | |
is going to lose out to a more populist and raucous variety | :26:45. | :26:47. | |
being offered by the irrepressible Donald Trump. | :26:48. | :26:48. | |
Football, and a mixed night for Chelsea as they returned | :26:49. | :26:59. | |
Despite losing to runaway French league leaders Paris Saint Germain, | :27:00. | :27:05. | |
they scored a valuable away goal ahead of the second leg. | :27:06. | :27:07. | |
Our correspondent, Katie Gornall, was watching the action. | :27:08. | :27:12. | |
Two teams, two very different seasons. While Paris St-Germain are | :27:13. | :27:24. | |
towering over their rivals in France's top division Chelsea's | :27:25. | :27:31. | |
defence has struggled. Ibrahimovic PSG post one of the big hitters in | :27:32. | :27:38. | |
world football. One swing of of his boot and they had the lead. | :27:39. | :27:42. | |
Ibrahimovic has been a long source of goals. This was Mikel's sixth | :27:43. | :27:47. | |
goal in ten years, a rare sight indeed. It sent PSG into the | :27:48. | :27:53. | |
second-half in a hurry. Finding the necessary urgency, if not the | :27:54. | :27:56. | |
necessariy accuracy. Chelsea's defence was proving a significant | :27:57. | :28:02. | |
obstacle. The arrival of Cavani would overcome that. He reopened an | :28:03. | :28:06. | |
entertaining contest with one powerful strike. Europe has been a | :28:07. | :28:10. | |
place of respite for Chelsea this season, now it's another place where | :28:11. | :28:20. | |
they need to regain control. Katie Gornall, BBC News. | :28:21. | :28:27. | |
They're the directors behind some of the most memorable movies | :28:28. | :28:32. | |
From Fargo and the Big Lebowski to No Country For Old Men | :28:33. | :28:36. | |
and True Grit - the Coen Brothers are famous for working across | :28:37. | :28:39. | |
a diverse range of film plots and genres. | :28:40. | :28:41. | |
Now, they're tackling Hollywood - 1950s Hollywood - with a comedy | :28:42. | :28:44. | |
in which George Clooney plays an incompetent actor | :28:45. | :28:46. | |
Our arts editor, Will Gompertz, has been talking to the brothers. | :28:47. | :28:49. | |
Hop, would that it were so simple. | :28:50. | :28:51. | |
Hail, Caesar is a classic Coen brothers movie, | :28:52. | :28:54. | |
in so much as it's a stylised, surreal comic tale, undercut | :28:55. | :28:59. | |
An original sort of idea or the movie, when we first started | :29:00. | :29:11. | |
thinking about it, was - OK, 24-hours in the life | :29:12. | :29:13. | |
as a sort of architecture for a movie. | :29:14. | :29:16. | |
A marriage doesn't have to last forever, but then having a child | :29:17. | :29:19. | |
without a father would present a public relations problem | :29:20. | :29:21. | |
The aquatic pictures did very nicely for us. | :29:22. | :29:24. | |
Josh Brolin is Eddie Mannix, a legendary 1950s Hollywood fixer. | :29:25. | :29:26. | |
What does it look like and then how do you between you evolve it? | :29:27. | :29:32. | |
The scripts kind of develop out of essentially just a long | :29:33. | :29:34. | |
conversation and then the conversation gets more and more | :29:35. | :29:39. | |
It's like - oh, I don't like that sentence, I don't like that word, | :29:40. | :29:46. | |
I mean, that's just the nature of movie-making is that it's a... | :29:47. | :29:51. | |
It's all about collaboration and the good collaborations | :29:52. | :29:55. | |
are the ones where you always know what's right, where you know | :29:56. | :30:12. | |
Gather $100,000 and await instructions. | :30:13. | :30:18. | |
There are so many familiar structural devices we see in Coen | :30:19. | :30:28. | |
Brothers movies, do you ever worry why about repeating ourselves? | :30:29. | :30:30. | |
I think it was when we were shooting Fargo, we were out on the street, | :30:31. | :30:34. | |
shooting the sort of approaching car coming down and I literally turned | :30:35. | :30:36. | |
to Ethan and said, "haven't we shot this exact same thing before?" | :30:37. | :30:40. | |
We realise, to a certain extent, you keep reverting to the same shots | :30:41. | :30:43. | |
Mr Mannix, I know it sounds screwy, but someone's calling | :30:44. | :30:48. | |
What would happen if one of you said - look, I don't want | :30:49. | :30:53. | |
Well, we have talked about... | :30:54. | :31:03. | |
At one point we said, when we've made 10 movies we'll quit. | :31:04. | :31:06. | |
It gets too alarming thinking about that. | :31:07. | :31:11. | |
How many you've done and that, in ways you're not even aware of, | :31:12. | :31:15. | |
You think you're like an old musician, now on the road | :31:16. | :31:19. | |
because he doesn't know anything else and he's just | :31:20. | :31:21. | |
Zac Goldsmith, the Tory candidate for London Mayor will be with me. | :31:22. | :31:40. | |
We'll talk about housing, Europe and how an Etonian | :31:41. | :31:42. | |
millionaire can ever understand the lives of ordinary Londoners. | :31:43. | :31:44. | |
