Wow, what a beautiful day in Cedar Rapids! | :00:09. | :00:16. | |
At a rally tonight, Mrs Clinton ignored it entirely - | :00:17. | :00:18. | |
but the move reignites an issue that's dogged her campaign. | :00:19. | :00:24. | |
Her Republican rival - who's repeatedly dubbed | :00:25. | :00:25. | |
her "Crooked Hillary" - pounced on the new turn of events. | :00:26. | :00:30. | |
Hillary Clinton's corruption is on a scale we have | :00:31. | :00:34. | |
With Mrs Clinton's team tonight questioning the timing | :00:35. | :00:42. | |
of the FBI's statement, we'll be assessing the impact | :00:43. | :00:45. | |

With just 11 days to go before the US Presidential Election, | :01:53. | :01:56. | |
there's a dramatic development that could have serious consequences | :01:57. | :01:59. | |
for Hillary Clinton's campaign for the White House. | :02:00. | :02:02. | |
The FBI announced this evening that it's looking at new information | :02:03. | :02:05. | |
relating to her emails while she was Secretary of State. | :02:06. | :02:08. | |
It had previously closed an investigation into her, | :02:09. | :02:12. | |
after criticising her for holding classified information | :02:13. | :02:14. | |
on a private email server, but clearing her of criminal action. | :02:15. | :02:18. | |
The Democratic candidate, who was campaigning tonight, | :02:19. | :02:20. | |
stuck doggedly to a pre-prepared speech and said nothing - | :02:21. | :02:23. | |
but her team has questioned the timing of the release. | :02:24. | :02:27. | |
And her Republican rival Donald Trump moved quickly to praise | :02:28. | :02:30. | |
the FBI, and declared she must be prevented from taking | :02:31. | :02:33. | |
what he described as "her criminal scheme" into the Oval Office. | :02:34. | :02:38. | |
Our chief correspondent Gavin Hewitt is outside the FBI headquarters | :02:39. | :02:40. | |
in Washington for us tonight. | :02:41. | :02:43. | |
Quite simply the Clinton campaign is furious, saying it is extraordinary | :02:44. | :02:56. | |
that this should come out just 11 days before a presidential campaign. | :02:57. | :03:01. | |
And another indicator of the serious nurse, or the potential seriousness | :03:02. | :03:05. | |
of this, came from the White House where they put out a statement | :03:06. | :03:09. | |
saying that President Obama still had every faith in Hillary Clinton. | :03:10. | :03:14. | |
This is a significant moment in the American election campaign, | :03:15. | :03:16. | |
Hillary Clinton was arriving in Iowa, her campaign in good spirits. | :03:17. | :03:23. | |
Then they learnt that the FBI is carrying out a new investigation | :03:24. | :03:26. | |
into her e-mails, as part of its probe into her use | :03:27. | :03:30. | |
The FBI has discovered new e-mails and wants to see if any of them | :03:31. | :03:36. | |
Donald Trump was in New Hampshire, and he immediately | :03:37. | :03:43. | |
For weeks, he had based much of his campaign on referring | :03:44. | :03:48. | |
They are reopening the case into her criminal and illegal | :03:49. | :03:55. | |
conduct that threatens the security of the United States of America. | :03:56. | :04:03. | |
The Republican candidate went on to say, this | :04:04. | :04:06. | |
The news came in a letter from the director of the FBI | :04:07. | :04:12. | |
I agreed, he wrote, that the FBI should take appropriate | :04:13. | :04:15. | |
investigative steps, designed to allow investigators | :04:16. | :04:20. | |
to review these e-mails, to determine whether they contained | :04:21. | :04:22. | |
The FBI says it doesn't know whether the material | :04:23. | :04:29. | |
is significant, or how long its investigation will take. | :04:30. | :04:34. | |
This enquiry goes back to the time Hillary Clinton | :04:35. | :04:39. | |
was Secretary of State and used a private e-mail server. | :04:40. | :04:41. | |
In July, after a long enquiry, the FBI closed the case. | :04:42. | :04:45. | |
Although there is evidence of potential violations of | :04:46. | :04:47. | |
the statutes regarding the handling of classified information, | :04:48. | :04:51. | |
our judgment is that no reasonable prosecutor would bring such a case. | :04:52. | :04:56. | |
The issue of the e-mails surfaced during the presidential debates, | :04:57. | :04:58. | |
and Hillary Clinton apologised for how she had handled | :04:59. | :05:00. | |
I made a mistake using a private e-mail. | :05:01. | :05:06. | |
And if I had to do it over again, I would obviously do it differently. | :05:07. | :05:13. | |
At every campaign stop, however, Donald Trump has made | :05:14. | :05:16. | |
Hillary Clinton's honesty and trustworthiness a key issue. | :05:17. | :05:21. | |
Let's knock out "Crooked Hillary Clinton", crooked | :05:22. | :05:23. | |
At a rally in Iowa, Hillary Clinton did not mention the FBI enquiry. | :05:24. | :05:35. | |
She ignored shouted questions from reporters, but this development | :05:36. | :05:38. | |
is likely to dominate the closing days of the campaign. | :05:39. | :05:43. | |
Back to Gavin in a moment, but first Kim Ghattas | :05:44. | :05:46. | |
is with the Clinton campaign in Cedar Rapids in Iowa. | :05:47. | :05:52. | |
A very difficult day for the Clinton team. What's the reaction been? Yes, | :05:53. | :06:03. | |
indeed, the newest rogue and it come -- the news broke and it caught the | :06:04. | :06:08. | |
campaign off-guard. On the plane they were sounding confident, | :06:09. | :06:12. | |
briefing is on the state of the race. They said they were not | :06:13. | :06:15. | |
feeling complacent, but confident. They said she wasn't quite measuring | :06:16. | :06:19. | |
the drapes at the White House because they told us she is | :06:20. | :06:23. | |
superstitious, and there you have it, we land and a statement from the | :06:24. | :06:27. | |
FBI about e-mails, yet again. Even though we now know that this is not | :06:28. | :06:32. | |
about e-mails from her, or not about e-mails that were on her private | :06:33. | :06:36. | |
server, it does reignite the whole question about transparency when it | :06:37. | :06:41. | |
comes to Hillary Clinton. Now the statement from the FBI was very | :06:42. | :06:44. | |
vaguely worded and it is unclear whether it's going to change the | :06:45. | :06:48. | |
race, but some damage has already been done, with all these headlines | :06:49. | :06:52. | |
swirling. Now, as you saw in this report by Gavin Hewitt, she didn't | :06:53. | :06:57. | |
mention this issue here, but if there's one thing the campaign has | :06:58. | :07:00. | |
learned its to avoid the usual defensive crouch and a statement | :07:01. | :07:04. | |
from the campaign has made very clear that they find the timing | :07:05. | :07:08. | |
extraordinary and they believe, or the indicating that statement, that | :07:09. | :07:12. | |
they believe the FBI simply came under pressure from Republicans and | :07:13. | :07:16. | |
called on the FBI director to do what is right by American voters and | :07:17. | :07:20. | |
clarify as quickly as possible the details of what they are looking | :07:21. | :07:24. | |
into. Gavin, what is the likely impact of this news on the campaign | :07:25. | :07:29. | |
overall? Firstly it has to be said nothing has been proven. We don't | :07:30. | :07:34. | |
know whether bees e-mails contain classified information, or whether | :07:35. | :07:37. | |
they are significant. The e-mails didn't come from Hillary Clinton's | :07:38. | :07:41. | |
server, they came from a former congressman whose wife worked with | :07:42. | :07:48. | |
Hillary Clinton, but all of this is a gift for Donald Trump. At rally | :07:49. | :07:53. | |
after rally he says that she's a liar sitting atop a criminal | :07:54. | :07:57. | |
enterprise. He will now be able to say to people, how can you possibly | :07:58. | :08:02. | |
vote for somebody who is under investigation? On the other hand, | :08:03. | :08:06. | |
the Clinton campaign will put huge pressure publicly on the FBI and say | :08:07. | :08:11. | |
look, clear this up quickly. If there is something there, get it | :08:12. | :08:15. | |
out. If there isn't, we would like Hillary Clinton to be cleared. All | :08:16. | :08:22. | |
of this will be fought out over the next few days. But for Donald Trump | :08:23. | :08:26. | |
this is the day they were text Link and saying it's been one of the best | :08:27. | :08:32. | |
days of the campaign. -- they were sending texts. Gavin Hewitt and Kim | :08:33. | :08:35. | |

Drivers who work for the cab service Uber are entitled to holiday pay, | :08:40. | :08:42. | |
the minimum wage and other employment rights - | :08:43. | :08:44. | |
Unions say a tribunal decision - handed down this afternoon - | :08:45. | :08:48. | |
could be the start of a significant shift in workplace rights for tens | :08:49. | :08:51. | |
Uber has said it will appeal the decision, as our business | :08:52. | :08:55. | |
correspondent Simon Gompertz reports. | :08:56. | :08:58. | |
Uber drivers, like Asif, get their jobs via a smartphone app. | :08:59. | :09:02. | |
But while Uber is Asif's main source of income, | :09:03. | :09:07. | |
Which is why he says Uber has been denying him normal workers' rights. | :09:08. | :09:14. | |
I have no control of the work, I have an app. | :09:15. | :09:18. | |
So how could I be classified as self-employed, because I | :09:19. | :09:32. | |
Uber has 40,000 drivers in Britain, but they're not employees | :09:33. | :09:39. | |
with full employees' rights, they're self-employed, | :09:40. | :09:42. | |
or independent contractors, as Uber calls them, who have | :09:43. | :09:45. | |
But the drivers who brought this case say they should be workers. | :09:46. | :09:53. | |
Which is legally somewhere in the middle. | :09:54. | :09:56. | |
Entitled to rest breaks, holiday pay, and the national minimum wage. | :09:57. | :10:02. | |
And today, an employment tribunal decided the drivers, and the union | :10:03. | :10:05. | |
This is the most important employment law decision | :10:06. | :10:11. | |
Its implications reach far, far beyond Uber and reach right out | :10:12. | :10:18. | |
They clarify the position and level the playing field up. | :10:19. | :10:23. | |
Traditional taxi drivers around the world accuse it of driving down | :10:24. | :10:30. | |
It said it would appeal and that the overwhelming majority | :10:31. | :10:37. | |
of drivers who use the Uber app want to keep the freedom | :10:38. | :10:41. | |
and flexibility of being able to drive when and where they want. | :10:42. | :10:46. | |
Yet today's decision will reverberate around | :10:47. | :10:48. | |
a new generation of delivery companies, minicabs and courier | :10:49. | :10:52. | |
firms, which use smartphones to mobilise an army | :10:53. | :10:55. | |
They're going to need to look very carefully at the case | :10:56. | :11:01. | |
to decide whether they can distinguish their business | :11:02. | :11:03. | |
operating model from Uber's, or whether it's sufficiently similar | :11:04. | :11:06. | |
that they are now at substantial risk of having to pay the minimum | :11:07. | :11:10. | |
wage, provide paid holiday, sick pay, and so on. | :11:11. | :11:15. | |
So, pending the appeal, Asif should get his workers' rights | :11:16. | :11:18. | |
and the rules could change anyway, because the Government's | :11:19. | :11:22. | |
commissioned an independent review into whether employment law now | :11:23. | :11:25. | |
Rebel groups in Syria have launched a major offensive to try to break | :11:26. | :11:34. | |
the government siege of Aleppo, the city at the heart | :11:35. | :11:37. | |
Hundreds of missiles have been fired at government-held | :11:38. | :11:41. | |
positions by rebel groups in a coordinated assault. | :11:42. | :11:44. | |
Our Middle East correspondent Quentin Sommerville has been | :11:45. | :11:46. | |
following events from neighbouring Lebanon, and he sent this report. | :11:47. | :11:54. | |
God willing, say these rebels, they will soon be | :11:55. | :11:59. | |
They brought with them plenty of firepower. | :12:00. | :12:06. | |
Hundreds of rockets fired into the city's | :12:07. | :12:09. | |
But there is something else just as powerful, a new unity. | :12:10. | :12:26. | |
Resupplied moderate rebels and hardline Islamists working together. | :12:27. | :12:28. | |
And here, they are using a favourite jihadist tactic. | :12:29. | :12:30. | |
But in numbers far greater than before. | :12:31. | :12:36. | |
At least half a dozen hit pro-government positions. | :12:37. | :12:44. | |
This commander said, "The criminal regime has | :12:45. | :12:46. | |
"They have committed continuous and daily massacres. | :12:47. | :12:49. | |
In a city divided, East and west Aleppo almost looked the same today. | :12:50. | :13:04. | |
15 people were killed by rebel shells landing in the west | :13:05. | :13:07. | |
My children are under the rubble, they are still under the rubble. The | :13:08. | :13:23. | |
building collapsed, oh, my God. Blood and war are the city's Common | :13:24. | :13:31. | |
ground. Aleppo has been torn apart. Unified, the rebels have more | :13:32. | :13:33. | |
weapons and more ground troops than before. They pressed the advantage. | :13:34. | :13:42. | |
By the afternoon, here in the Assad neighbourhood, they had broken | :13:43. | :13:53. | |
through government line. In the east, as this mobile phone footage | :13:54. | :13:58. | |
shows, they came out to celebrate. Until recently, Russian and Syrian | :13:59. | :14:02. | |
air killed hundreds here. There has been a pause in those attacks and | :14:03. | :14:09. | |
Russia says they won't restart yet. Aleppo's fate and that of Syria's | :14:10. | :14:13. | |
vicious civil war are joined together. For now, it's the rebels | :14:14. | :14:17. | |
that have the upper hand. Quentin Somerville, BBC News, Beirut. | :14:18. | :14:21. | |
Meanwhile a major offensive is continuing against the Islamic State | :14:22. | :14:24. | |
Today, the United Nations accused IS of using tens of thousands | :14:25. | :14:27. | |
of civilians as human shields in the besieged city of Mosul. | :14:28. | :14:31. | |
It said men, women and children were being moved to areas under | :14:32. | :14:34. | |
attack from the advancing government forces. | :14:35. | :14:38. | |
Our correspondent Shaimaa Khalil has been hearing the story of one family | :14:39. | :14:41. | |
who escaped the horror of life under IS, when their village | :14:42. | :14:44. | |
Ashraf and his family have been living in this refugee | :14:45. | :14:55. | |
For the first time in two years, they're able to sleep | :14:56. | :15:00. | |
They'd escaped their village near Mosul when the Iraqi forces came in. | :15:01. | :15:03. | |
But life under the so-called Islamic State has taken its toll. | :15:04. | :15:08. | |
Especially on Ashraf, who was abducted by the extremist. | :15:09. | :15:16. | |
TRANSLATION: They took me to a house and hit me with sticks | :15:17. | :15:19. | |
They said, "Your brothers are with the peshmerga, | :15:20. | :15:22. | |
I told them, "My brothers are drivers, not fighters." | :15:23. | :15:25. | |
They fired over my head and tortured me with electric shocks. | :15:26. | :15:30. | |
Nahla told me she had to beg for her son's life. | :15:31. | :15:42. | |
TRANSLATION: His father and I followed the car | :15:43. | :15:45. | |
I went up to the fighters and said, "I want my son." | :15:46. | :15:50. | |
They said they were going to kill him. | :15:51. | :15:53. | |
I said, "My son hasn't done anything." | :15:54. | :15:54. | |
I said, "Shoot me, but let my son go." | :15:55. | :16:03. | |
The IS fighters seized it to use it as a base to fight from. | :16:04. | :16:18. | |
You can get fined, lashed, or even killed for | :16:19. | :16:22. | |
They forced us to grow beards and to go five times | :16:23. | :16:28. | |
They called for the destruction of America and Britain. | :16:29. | :16:32. | |
Sabrine was out feeding the cows when she was shot | :16:33. | :16:35. | |
She's been paralysed for three years now and is in desperate | :16:36. | :16:39. | |
TRANSLATION: I used to watch TV to distract | :16:40. | :16:46. | |
But they came and took the TV and mobile phones away. | :16:47. | :16:50. | |
I would lie there 24 hours with nothing to do. | :16:51. | :17:01. | |
Now the UN says IS have abducted thousands of civilians | :17:02. | :17:04. | |
from around Mosul to use them as human shields. | :17:05. | :17:06. | |
Families here may have escaped the extremists' grip, | :17:07. | :17:09. | |
but many more are suffering the terror of life under | :17:10. | :17:11. | |

A brief look at some of the day's other other news stories. | :17:21. | :17:23. | |
Two children have died after a house fire in Birmingham. | :17:24. | :17:25. | |
Their father is a critical condition in hospital, after being discovered | :17:26. | :17:28. | |
Police say no one else is being sought in connection | :17:29. | :17:34. | |
with the incident, which is being treated as suspected arson. | :17:35. | :17:39. | |
17-year-old Ronan Hughes died last year after being tricked | :17:40. | :17:41. | |
into sharing intimate images of himself online. | :17:42. | :17:45. | |
Today, a man appeared in court in Romania on charges relating to | :17:46. | :17:47. | |
The High Court in Belfast has rejected two legal challenges | :17:48. | :17:56. | |
The cases were brought by a cross-party group | :17:57. | :18:00. | |
of Northern Ireland politicians - who'd claimed the Stormont Assembly | :18:01. | :18:04. | |
should be allowed a vote on whether Brexit negotiations should begin. | :18:05. | :18:09. | |
Meanwhile the boss of Typhoo Tea says the effect of the EU referendum | :18:10. | :18:12. | |
has been a disaster for his company, because of the fall | :18:13. | :18:14. | |
Somnath Saha told the BBC that Typhoo is losing hundreds | :18:15. | :18:19. | |
of thousands of pounds every month, and customers will end up having | :18:20. | :18:22. | |
A new treatment of drugs targeting the cause of cystic fibrosis has | :18:23. | :18:31. | |
been shown to slow lung damage by more than 40%. | :18:32. | :18:35. | |
It's called Orkambi and was tested on more than 1000 patients over | :18:36. | :18:38. | |
But it's not yet available on the NHS, and costs more | :18:39. | :18:43. | |
Our medical correspondent Fergus Walsh reports. | :18:44. | :18:50. | |
I was always very pale, short and skinny, very tired. | :18:51. | :18:54. | |
Now I look like everyone else and I can run like I've never | :18:55. | :18:57. | |
Clara's lungs used to be so clogged up, this sort of exercise would have | :18:58. | :19:04. | |
The 15-year-old from Somerset has cystic fibrosis but since starting | :19:05. | :19:10. | |
the Orkambi trial three years ago, her health | :19:11. | :19:14. | |
I'm transformed, I think, like a butterfly out of a cocoon. | :19:15. | :19:24. | |
My lungs work so much better, my lung function, which is how | :19:25. | :19:28. | |
they measure how your lungs are working at hospital, | :19:29. | :19:30. | |
I've grown a lot in the last year or so and I feel a lot | :19:31. | :19:37. | |
Cystic fibrosis is a serious, progressive genetic condition | :19:38. | :19:43. | |
and only half of people affected make it into their 40s. | :19:44. | :19:48. | |
DNA errors mean they produce a thick, sticky mucus that clogs | :19:49. | :19:50. | |
The new drug therapy aims to correct the underlying cause of cystic | :19:51. | :19:58. | |
fibrosis, altering the microscopic machinery in the lungs, | :19:59. | :20:02. | |
Studies suggest it slows irreversible lung damage by more | :20:03. | :20:08. | |
than 40% over two years, and patients were less likely | :20:09. | :20:10. | |
Previously, all treatments for CF treated with symptoms of CF. | :20:11. | :20:20. | |
And while we need those antibiotics and agents, | :20:21. | :20:25. | |
they are not ever going to be called a cure. | :20:26. | :20:29. | |
So potentially we are on the right path now for a cure. | :20:30. | :20:32. | |
The trouble is Orkambi costs ?104,000 per year. | :20:33. | :20:36. | |
The health watchdog, Nice, has turned it down for NHS patients, | :20:37. | :20:39. | |
Clara relies on a whole raft of medications, | :20:40. | :20:47. | |
like this nebuliser, to keep healthy. | :20:48. | :20:52. | |
She knows the Orkambi tablets she takes are not a cure, | :20:53. | :20:55. | |
but hopes that despite the cost, the NHS will eventually | :20:56. | :20:58. | |
offer the drug to other cystic fibrosis patients. | :20:59. | :21:01. | |
French officials say they've finally relocated the last of the migrants | :21:02. | :21:08. | |
in the camp at Calais known as the Jungle. | :21:09. | :21:12. | |
Around 6000 people have been removed to locations around France | :21:13. | :21:16. | |
since the operation to clear the camp began on Monday. | :21:17. | :21:19. | |
Our Europe correspondent Damian Grammaticas was watching | :21:20. | :21:21. | |
A few child refugees were still there this morning, | :21:22. | :21:36. | |
like Hassan from Afghanistan - unwilling to abandon this place | :21:37. | :21:39. | |
We will take all kind of danger, we will face danger. | :21:40. | :21:48. | |
So if they're going to refuse us, we'll be also spending | :21:49. | :21:53. | |
About one o'clock, you follow Christian. | :21:54. | :21:57. | |
But today, French authorities gave those still here a choice. | :21:58. | :22:03. | |
This is the slow, final emptying of the Jungle. | :22:04. | :22:09. | |
Some have held on even as the bulldozers have | :22:10. | :22:11. | |
But now they're giving up, taking the offer to get on those | :22:12. | :22:15. | |
And leading this last exodus was the man who struggled | :22:16. | :22:23. | |
to rid his town of the Jungle, Calais' police chief - | :22:24. | :22:27. | |
Of course it's difficult. Of course. | :22:28. | :22:30. | |
Yeah. Why? Because you work with humans. | :22:31. | :22:37. | |
Sometimes we fight against them, and sometimes we help them, | :22:38. | :22:41. | |
So this is your last picture? Yes, last picture. | :22:42. | :22:47. | |
Of the Jungle? Yes, the Jungle. | :22:48. | :22:48. | |
It's finished now? Finished, Jungle finished. | :22:49. | :22:49. | |
It's all gone? Yes. | :22:50. | :22:53. | |
Most left with barely a glance at their old home. | :22:54. | :22:58. | |
And just time for some goodbyes for the Jungle's children | :22:59. | :23:01. | |
We don't know how their age will be assessed. | :23:02. | :23:06. | |
That's happening right behind me, and I don't know | :23:07. | :23:08. | |
who is the person and how qualified they are to make that assessment. | :23:09. | :23:12. | |
But the promise is all asylum claims will be heard. | :23:13. | :23:16. | |
They've crossed continents, and still their journey isn't done. | :23:17. | :23:18. | |
Damian Grammaticas, BBC News, Calais. | :23:19. | :23:24. | |
The Ross Sea in Antarctica is one of the last great wildernesses, | :23:25. | :23:27. | |
and home to some of the world's most diverse species, including most | :23:28. | :23:30. | |
Now, after years of talks, it's been declared a protected area, | :23:31. | :23:36. | |
Commercial fishing will be banned, as will mining. | :23:37. | :23:39. | |
But the protections won't last forever, as our science editor | :23:40. | :23:42. | |
The waters around Antarctica may be icy, but they are teeming with life. | :23:43. | :23:50. | |
This is one of the world's least disturbed stretches of ocean. | :23:51. | :23:55. | |
Because it is so rich biologically, it is attracting | :23:56. | :23:57. | |
The protection agreed today is seen as hugely important. | :23:58. | :24:05. | |
In the 25 years that I've been working in polar marine biology, | :24:06. | :24:08. | |
It is a massive decision and British Antarctic Survey | :24:09. | :24:14. | |
are delighted that all the hard work for more than five years by 24 | :24:15. | :24:17. | |
countries have resulted in this incredible decision. | :24:18. | :24:25. | |
Tiny creatures known as krill are the foundation of life | :24:26. | :24:27. | |
The aim of the new marine protected area is to safeguard | :24:28. | :24:33. | |
There's still so much in this bizarre world | :24:34. | :24:37. | |
that remains a mystery, even after a century of exploration. | :24:38. | :24:42. | |
For scientists it is a huge challenge trying to understand | :24:43. | :24:46. | |
what makes this remote and unique ecosystem tick. | :24:47. | :24:49. | |
I once saw that for myself as I joined a team of biologists, | :24:50. | :24:52. | |
So will the new deal protect all this? | :24:53. | :24:58. | |
It will last 35 years, some say that is not enough. | :24:59. | :25:02. | |
But for the campaigner, Lewis Pugh, who even swam in the Antarctic | :25:03. | :25:05. | |
waters to highlight the issue, the deal is a big step forward. | :25:06. | :25:12. | |
For me this is an issue about justice. | :25:13. | :25:13. | |
Yes, it is about the environment, but most of all it is about justice. | :25:14. | :25:19. | |
It is about ensuring that we look after our environment | :25:20. | :25:22. | |
That there's justice between generations. | :25:23. | :25:28. | |
What's remarkable about the agreement for this remotest | :25:29. | :25:31. | |
corner of the planet is that there has been | :25:32. | :25:34. | |
some very rare harmony between Russia and the West. | :25:35. | :25:36. | |
Far from the disputes over Syria or Ukraine, | :25:37. | :25:39. | |
governments have looked at Antarctica and decided | :25:40. | :25:42. | |
that it is just too precious to put at risk. | :25:43. | :25:49. | |
That's it. Now it's time for the news where you are. | :25:50. | :25:53. |
