Tonight at Ten - the escalating dispute between Prime Minister | :00:00. | :00:09. | |
and First Minister on the question of a second referendum | :00:10. | :00:11. | |
Theresa May tells Nicola Sturgeon now is not the time - | :00:12. | :00:17. | |
she says the focus should be on getting a good Brexit | :00:18. | :00:20. | |
The reason I say that is because all our energies should be | :00:21. | :00:27. | |
being put into the negotiations with the European Union. | :00:28. | :00:32. | |
But the First Minister says the democratic mandate | :00:33. | :00:34. | |
at Holyrood is not being respected by Westminster. | :00:35. | :00:39. | |
We have a Conservative government with one MP in Scotland saying | :00:40. | :00:42. | |
that they will stand in the way of the choice of | :00:43. | :00:45. | |
I mean, this is like winding the clock back to the bad old days | :00:46. | :00:50. | |
We'll have the latest as Nicola Sturgeon warns the fate | :00:51. | :00:55. | |
A record fine for the Conservative Party for breaking campaign | :00:56. | :01:02. | |
spending rules in some of the key marginal seats. | :01:03. | :01:08. | |
But it's bad news for Donald Trump - his new attempt to impose a travel | :01:09. | :01:15. | |
ban has again been rejected by the courts. | :01:16. | :01:17. | |
A former Team Sky cyclist tells the BBC he broke the rules | :01:18. | :01:20. | |
on taking supplements, but it was covered up. | :01:21. | :01:27. | |
And what happened when a BBC team faced the volcanic fury | :01:28. | :01:29. | |
On BBC London a man dies at a construction site after an explosion | :01:30. | :01:39. | |
in Highgate. We'll have the latest. Find out why actors are performing | :01:40. | :01:45. | |
for an audience of animals. Theresa May has signalled | :01:46. | :02:03. | |
that she would refuse permission for a referendum on Scottish | :02:04. | :02:09. | |
independence before the UK The Prime Minister said the current | :02:10. | :02:11. | |
focus needed to be on securing the best Brexit deal | :02:12. | :02:16. | |
for all of the the UK. Scotland's First Minister, | :02:17. | :02:19. | |
Nicola Sturgeon, said it was democratically | :02:20. | :02:21. | |
unacceptable to block Scotland's right to choose and that | :02:22. | :02:24. | |
history might look back on today as "the day the fate | :02:25. | :02:27. | |
of the union was sealed". Our political editor | :02:28. | :02:31. | |
Laura Kuenssberg reports on the growing tensions | :02:32. | :02:32. | |
between the two leaders. And even no to talks | :02:33. | :02:36. | |
about a referendum. We should be working | :02:37. | :02:52. | |
together, not pulling apart. We should be working | :02:53. | :02:58. | |
together to get that right deal for Scotland, | :02:59. | :03:00. | |
that So I say that's my job | :03:01. | :03:01. | |
as Prime Minister, and so for that reason I say to the SNP, | :03:02. | :03:07. | |
now is not the time. The Prime Minister's | :03:08. | :03:12. | |
Westminster message deliberately timed | :03:13. | :03:13. | |
to land in Edinburgh. Just moments after the First | :03:14. | :03:14. | |
Minister's weekly grilling. Where Nicola Sturgeon's | :03:15. | :03:21. | |
audacious vow to hold a second referendum | :03:22. | :03:23. | |
was Can the First Minister | :03:24. | :03:24. | |
tell us this...? Does she plan to spend | :03:25. | :03:34. | |
the next few years leading a Will Scotland be | :03:35. | :03:37. | |
guaranteed to be a full membership member of | :03:38. | :03:43. | |
the European Union or not. Can she guarantee that? | :03:44. | :03:46. | |
If she can't, it's all Well, the band is well | :03:47. | :03:48. | |
and truly back together, Tory and Labour combining again | :03:49. | :03:53. | |
to talk this country down. Number ten's refusal | :03:54. | :04:02. | |
even to discuss another independence referendum | :04:03. | :04:04. | |
for But these two tough, | :04:05. | :04:05. | |
normally cautious, I think it would be completely | :04:06. | :04:11. | |
unacceptable and outrageous, almost anti-democratic, for a Conservative | :04:12. | :04:23. | |
government with one MP in Scotland to seek to block the democratic | :04:24. | :04:25. | |
will of the Scottish parliament. Here's number ten's | :04:26. | :04:28. | |
calculation: a majority of Scots voters chose this centre | :04:29. | :04:31. | |
of power the last time out. And private Tory | :04:32. | :04:34. | |
focus groups over the last few months suggest their | :04:35. | :04:39. | |
message of "Not now" is a relief to some who simply don't want to go | :04:40. | :04:42. | |
through the whole thing again. But for others it | :04:43. | :04:45. | |
will be patronising, Technically, it is down | :04:46. | :04:47. | |
to Westminster to say yes or no, but telling the Scottish | :04:48. | :04:58. | |
Government they can't even talk about another referendum | :04:59. | :05:00. | |
for two years? This miscalculation, this finger | :05:01. | :05:01. | |
wagging at Scotland, this Theresa May laying down the law, thou shalt | :05:02. | :05:06. | |
do this, thou shalt do that, it's not going to work, | :05:07. | :05:09. | |
it's going to backfire spectacularly, | :05:10. | :05:11. | |
and I think Theresa May will rue the day she edged towards telling | :05:12. | :05:13. | |
the Scottish Only a week ago expectations were | :05:14. | :05:15. | |
that the SNP was getting a big move As they prepared for their spring | :05:16. | :05:26. | |
conference that will start Before that stage is even set, | :05:27. | :05:30. | |
the drama whose ending Laura is at Westminster, we'll talk | :05:31. | :05:45. | |
to her in a second. First to our Scotland editor Sarah Smith who is | :05:46. | :05:49. | |
that the SNP conference, due to open in Aberdeen. When we look at this | :05:50. | :05:53. | |
stand-off and the escalating tensions here, what do you think the | :05:54. | :05:58. | |
next moves are for Nicola Sturgeon? Well Nicola Sturgeon was expecting | :05:59. | :06:02. | |
this move from the Prime Minister and they have their next moves | :06:03. | :06:06. | |
carefully planned out. She is basically not going to take no for | :06:07. | :06:10. | |
an answer because she's sure she can probably do well out of this | :06:11. | :06:14. | |
argument with the Prime Minister. So the plan is that the Scottish | :06:15. | :06:17. | |
Government will go ahead with the vote in the Scottish Parliament next | :06:18. | :06:20. | |
week demanding another referendum, and they will win that vote, and | :06:21. | :06:25. | |
they'll still make a formal request to the Prime Minister for another | :06:26. | :06:28. | |
referendum, forcing her to officially deny a request that has | :06:29. | :06:33. | |
come not just from the SNP, but that has been voted through the Scottish | :06:34. | :06:37. | |
parliament. Then there comes an argument it's not about the right | :06:38. | :06:40. | |
and wrongs of whether Scotland should be independent, it becomes an | :06:41. | :06:44. | |
argument about who decides when or if Scotland gets to make a choice | :06:45. | :06:48. | |
about its future. It's an argument that can suit the SNP very well. The | :06:49. | :06:53. | |
Tories know that being too heavy-handed could easily backfire. | :06:54. | :06:56. | |
They are trying to handle this carefully, though it's a pretty | :06:57. | :07:01. | |
risky move they've taken today. They think they can get away with it | :07:02. | :07:04. | |
because they believe a lot of people in Scotland don't want another | :07:05. | :07:09. | |
referendum. As the SNP start to make the argument that Scotland is being | :07:10. | :07:13. | |
denied its choice by Westminster, that could build support not just | :07:14. | :07:17. | |
for having another vote, but for independence itself. Norret dude you | :07:18. | :07:24. | |
detect any kind of possible common ground between these two leaders? -- | :07:25. | :07:31. | |
Laura, do you detect? They have a lot in common, they are both highly | :07:32. | :07:35. | |
driven, well-respected, both known for believing in having a tight grip | :07:36. | :07:40. | |
on government. They are absolutely both known for making their own | :07:41. | :07:44. | |
decisions even though they are both, of course, under huge political | :07:45. | :07:48. | |
pressure from their own parties and whoever else wants to chip in with | :07:49. | :07:52. | |
their opinions. But on this issue these two leaders are absolutely | :07:53. | :07:57. | |
miles apart and there are powerful arguments on both sides, of course. | :07:58. | :08:02. | |
We've seen again today that although Theresa May's message from | :08:03. | :08:06. | |
Westminster was very firm, she was also not ruling out a referendum | :08:07. | :08:10. | |
until the end of time. Her argument is it can't happen before the UK has | :08:11. | :08:14. | |
left the EU and there must be no discussions until that point. A | :08:15. | :08:19. | |
strong message, yes, but also not ruling it out for ever more and a | :08:20. | :08:25. | |
day. As we were discussing only a few days ago when they all exploded, | :08:26. | :08:29. | |
ultimately it's quite hard to see if in the long-term, how and SNP | :08:30. | :08:35. | |
government keeps pushing and pushing and pushing, perhaps for several | :08:36. | :08:39. | |
years, it's hard to see ultimately how Westminster -based government | :08:40. | :08:43. | |
would be able to continually turned that down. One final thought. You | :08:44. | :08:48. | |
know the other thing these two leaders are absolutely known for, | :08:49. | :08:53. | |
despite this week's huge budget U-turn in Westminster, neither of | :08:54. | :08:58. | |
them is known for backing down. Thanks very much again, Laura | :08:59. | :09:00. | |
Kuenssberg at Westminster and Ferris with our Scotland correspondent in | :09:01. | :09:05. | |
Aberdeen. The Conservative Party has been | :09:06. | :09:08. | |
fined a record ?70,000 for breaking the rules on election | :09:09. | :09:10. | |
spending in some key marginal seats The party claims the failure | :09:11. | :09:13. | |
was an administrative error. But the Electoral Commission | :09:14. | :09:16. | |
has referred the case to the Metropolitan Police, | :09:17. | :09:18. | |
saying there was a realistic prospect the money had given | :09:19. | :09:21. | |
the party an advantage. Our home affairs correspondent | :09:22. | :09:23. | |
Daniel Sandford has more details. So let's get out there, let's go | :09:24. | :09:33. | |
campaign... The South Thanet constituency in 2015, where the | :09:34. | :09:36. | |
Conservatives were battling Nigel Farage. Desperate to stop him | :09:37. | :09:43. | |
winning a seat. Any chance of counting on your support? They | :09:44. | :09:45. | |
poured big names and resources into it but now they've been given the | :09:46. | :09:49. | |
biggest ever fine, ?70,000, for breaking the rules on recording | :09:50. | :09:53. | |
election spending. Here and elsewhere. We've never issued | :09:54. | :09:59. | |
findings to that extent before and I think they are some of the worst in | :10:00. | :10:03. | |
the fact that they were unable to provide evidence when we needed it | :10:04. | :10:06. | |
and the reports were inaccurate and the spending returns did not contain | :10:07. | :10:11. | |
things they should have done. 18,800 and 38... Craig McKinley the Tory | :10:12. | :10:18. | |
candidate won the seat, his official expenses after the campaign showed | :10:19. | :10:24. | |
he'd spent ?14,838. Just short of the legal limit in the constituency. | :10:25. | :10:30. | |
Now the party spending here is under question. The Conservative Party | :10:31. | :10:34. | |
spent thousands of pounds on hotels here in the South Thanet, ?15,000 in | :10:35. | :10:40. | |
a single hotel on the hill here in Ramsgate. The electoral commission | :10:41. | :10:44. | |
says at least some of that money should have been included in the | :10:45. | :10:49. | |
local candidate's election expenses. One of the local Ukip leading lights | :10:50. | :10:52. | |
told me they always felt the Conservative Party had cheated. Just | :10:53. | :10:57. | |
the sheer number of bodies, the sheer number of full-time staff down | :10:58. | :11:02. | |
here. The sheer number of buses that were running bringing in volunteers | :11:03. | :11:06. | |
at the weekends, or fed and watered and had money spent on them. I'm on | :11:07. | :11:11. | |
the bus. I'm on the bus. The Conservative Party also had battle | :11:12. | :11:14. | |
buses of activists touring other marginal seats, 29 across England. | :11:15. | :11:19. | |
The party declared nearly ?39,000 of transport and hotel bills but didn't | :11:20. | :11:26. | |
declare over ?63,000. The electoral commission says some of that | :11:27. | :11:32. | |
?102,000 should've been put on local candidates expenses, possibly | :11:33. | :11:34. | |
pushing them over their spending limits. So far 12 police forces have | :11:35. | :11:40. | |
sent files to the Crown Prosecution Service, though Kent is not one of | :11:41. | :11:44. | |
them. There was other undeclared expenditure, too, more than | :11:45. | :11:51. | |
?108,000. Tonight at an event in London David Cameron, who was leader | :11:52. | :11:55. | |
at the time, insisted his victory was not tainted. In this country we | :11:56. | :11:59. | |
have an independent electoral commission which has demonstrated | :12:00. | :12:02. | |
its independence, quite rightly, once again today. We have the rule | :12:03. | :12:06. | |
of law, no political party is above the law, all have to comply with the | :12:07. | :12:12. | |
law. What began as a Channel 4 News investigation could still lead to | :12:13. | :12:15. | |
criminal prosecutions and even by-elections in constituencies like | :12:16. | :12:20. | |
South Thanet. Recently the Liberal Democrats and Labour have also been | :12:21. | :12:24. | |
fined for illegal expenses returns. The electoral commission is worried | :12:25. | :12:27. | |
parties are starting to see the fines as a cost of doing business | :12:28. | :12:32. | |
rather than a way of keeping British elections fair. Daniel Sandford, BBC | :12:33. | :12:34. | |
News, Ramsgate. President Trump has suffered two | :12:35. | :12:36. | |
setbacks during the day. A Senate committee has ruled | :12:37. | :12:38. | |
there was no evidence for the President's claim | :12:39. | :12:41. | |
that his home at Trump Tower in New York had been put under | :12:42. | :12:43. | |
surveillance by President Obama. And the President's renewed attempt | :12:44. | :12:46. | |
to impose a travel ban against six mainly Muslim | :12:47. | :12:48. | |
countries has again been Our North America editor | :12:49. | :12:50. | |
Jon Sopel has the latest. Saint Patrick's Day is being | :12:51. | :13:09. | |
celebrated in Washington, but Donald Trump doesn't seem to be enjoying | :13:10. | :13:13. | |
the luck of the Irish as his problems pile up. Remember his claim | :13:14. | :13:16. | |
in a series of tweets that Barack Obama had tapped his phone, and that | :13:17. | :13:21. | |
his predecessor was sick and bad? Last night the president gave an | :13:22. | :13:24. | |
interview in which he stood by the claim. The wiretap covers a lot of | :13:25. | :13:29. | |
different things, I think you're going to find some very interesting | :13:30. | :13:32. | |
arguments coming to the forefront over the next two weeks. But today | :13:33. | :13:36. | |
the Senate intelligence committee flatly contradicted him. | :13:37. | :13:51. | |
At the tetchy White House briefing, the President's spokesman said Mr | :13:52. | :13:57. | |
Trump continue to stand by the claim coming even suggesting British | :13:58. | :14:00. | |
intelligence could have been involved. But again, no evidence was | :14:01. | :14:05. | |
offered. Despite the fact that the Senate intelligence committee | :14:06. | :14:11. | |
says... But... Does the President... You stand by it but you are | :14:12. | :14:13. | |
mischaracterising what happened today. Past night in Nashville, | :14:14. | :14:21. | |
Tennessee with just hours to go before his second attempt at a | :14:22. | :14:25. | |
travel ban was due to come into effect, bad news. A judge in Hawaii | :14:26. | :14:29. | |
blocked the measure again and a frustrated Mr Trump let rip. We're | :14:30. | :14:34. | |
going to fight this terrible ruling, we're going to take our case as far | :14:35. | :14:39. | |
as it needs to go, including all the way up to the Supreme Court. We're | :14:40. | :14:47. | |
going to win, we're going to keep our citizens safe. Feed ban from | :14:48. | :14:53. | |
these six mainly Muslim countries has strong support among the people | :14:54. | :14:56. | |
who cheered the president to the rafters last night, but governing in | :14:57. | :14:59. | |
America requires you to work within the checks and balances of the US | :15:00. | :15:04. | |
Constitution. And there may be similar battles to come over the | :15:05. | :15:08. | |
President's budget, which was unveiled today. It proposes a big | :15:09. | :15:12. | |
boost spending for the Armed Forces and border security. But Major cuts | :15:13. | :15:16. | |
to overseas aid and the environment. And the Democrats say domestic | :15:17. | :15:21. | |
programmes which help the most vulnerable. It is billions of | :15:22. | :15:26. | |
dollars at defence while ransacking America's investment in jobs, | :15:27. | :15:29. | |
education, innovation, clean energy and life-saving medical research. It | :15:30. | :15:35. | |
will leave our nation we can. No one can accuse Donald Trump of not being | :15:36. | :15:38. | |
true to his election promises. But turning an easy campaign pledge into | :15:39. | :15:44. | |
something more concrete is turning out to be extremely difficult. If | :15:45. | :15:49. | |
most eye-catching proposals are stuck in a thick judicial and | :15:50. | :15:54. | |
legislative mud. Jon Sopel, BBC News, Washington. | :15:55. | :15:56. | |
The Japanese car-maker Toyota is to invest almost | :15:57. | :15:59. | |
a quarter of a billion pounds to modernise its plant | :16:00. | :16:01. | |
The factory, which makes the Auris and Avensis models, | :16:02. | :16:04. | |
But the company also warned that the future success of the plant | :16:05. | :16:09. | |
would depend on continued tariff-free access to European | :16:10. | :16:12. | |
Our industry correspondent John Moylan has more details. | :16:13. | :16:19. | |
This was Toyota's first plant in Europe. | :16:20. | :16:23. | |
It has been making vehicles here near Derby | :16:24. | :16:25. | |
4 million cars later, and the company is investing again, | :16:26. | :16:31. | |
laying the foundations for the future. | :16:32. | :16:33. | |
That means building cars with quality, high-productivity, | :16:34. | :16:41. | |
low-cost and this investment helps us hugely to be competitive | :16:42. | :16:45. | |
So, we think this is a huge part of preparing for the long-term future. | :16:46. | :16:52. | |
Toyota will invest ?240 million to upgrade the Burnaston plant. | :16:53. | :16:57. | |
In return, the Government is providing ?21 million | :16:58. | :17:00. | |
It's all good news for the 2,500 workers at this site. | :17:01. | :17:07. | |
The truth is, this plant needed to be upgraded simply to be able | :17:08. | :17:11. | |
to compete with Toyota's plants around the world to build new cars. | :17:12. | :17:15. | |
Now they currently make the Auris and Aventis here. | :17:16. | :17:19. | |
A decision on whether to bring a new vehicle to this plant | :17:20. | :17:24. | |
This investment can make all the difference. | :17:25. | :17:29. | |
But as we leave the EU, all UK car manufacturers face | :17:30. | :17:32. | |
the prospect of higher costs, with tariffs on the components they | :17:33. | :17:34. | |
Despite assurances from the Government, | :17:35. | :17:40. | |
Nissan has warned it will re-evaluate its UK operations once | :17:41. | :17:43. | |
Today in Derbyshire, as the Business Secretary Greg | :17:44. | :17:50. | |
Clarke toured the Toyota plant, the company warned that tariff-free, | :17:51. | :17:54. | |
barrier-free access to Europe would be vital for its success. | :17:55. | :17:57. | |
If you look back at history, there were turning points. | :17:58. | :18:02. | |
We don't want Brexit to be another point of those turning points | :18:03. | :18:10. | |
and a hard Brexit, where we end up with tariff | :18:11. | :18:13. | |
barriers, I think, would threaten the viability of some of the plants | :18:14. | :18:16. | |
It was down last year amid the uncertainty | :18:17. | :18:23. | |
So Toyota's decision today will be seen as a vote | :18:24. | :18:29. | |
of confidence in a sector which is facing challenges ahead. | :18:30. | :18:32. | |
A brief look at some of the day's other news stories. | :18:33. | :18:39. | |
A 17-year-old student has been arrested after at least eight people | :18:40. | :18:44. | |
-- four people were injured in a shooting | :18:45. | :18:46. | |
The attacker, who was armed with a rifle, | :18:47. | :18:50. | |
handguns and grenades, is reported to have been involved | :18:51. | :18:53. | |
The man charged with the murder of an Irish woman | :18:54. | :18:58. | |
Danielle McLaughlin in the Indian state of Goa | :18:59. | :19:01. | |
CCTV footage allegedly shows her walking with | :19:02. | :19:07. | |
the suspect on Monday - the day before her body | :19:08. | :19:09. | |
was discovered in a field by a local farmer. | :19:10. | :19:13. | |
The proposed takeover of Sky by Rupert Murdoch's | :19:14. | :19:17. | |
21st Century Fox is to be examined by the industry | :19:18. | :19:21. | |
regulator Ofcom to see if it's in the public interest. | :19:22. | :19:23. | |
The Murdoch family already owns a minority share. | :19:24. | :19:26. | |
A previous attempt to take full control was abandoned in 2011, | :19:27. | :19:29. | |
because of the phone-hacking scandal. | :19:30. | :19:32. | |
A former British cyclist has told the BBC | :19:33. | :19:37. | |
that he broke the rules governing the sport by secretly injecting | :19:38. | :19:40. | |
himself with vitamins when riding for Team Sky. | :19:41. | :19:44. | |
Josh Edmondson insists he confessed at the time | :19:45. | :19:47. | |
Our sports editor Dan Roan has this exclusive report. | :19:48. | :19:53. | |
He was one of British cycling's top young talents, | :19:54. | :19:55. | |
But below the surface, former Team Sky rider Josh Edmondson | :19:56. | :20:01. | |
was struggling to deal with the pressure, and, | :20:02. | :20:02. | |
for the first time, the 24-year-old has broken his silence | :20:03. | :20:05. | |
about the depression he suffered, telling me he linked it | :20:06. | :20:09. | |
to the controversial painkiller tramadol, which he secretly took | :20:10. | :20:11. | |
The dangerous thing about it is you don't know | :20:12. | :20:15. | |
So I'd be pushing and pushing and pushing. | :20:16. | :20:19. | |
Normally you just would be like, I can't keep going. | :20:20. | :20:22. | |
But you just go a little bit further than that. | :20:23. | :20:24. | |
It's not a performance enhancing drug, it doesn't | :20:25. | :20:26. | |
make you any better, you're dead next day, | :20:27. | :20:28. | |
And I think the withdrawal from that, just immediately | :20:29. | :20:34. | |
I was at a point where I didn't leave the house for two months, | :20:35. | :20:39. | |
you know, so it doesn't really get much worse than that | :20:40. | :20:42. | |
While it's not banned, Team Sky have had a strict no | :20:43. | :20:46. | |
tramadol policy since 2013, and there is no suggestion | :20:47. | :20:48. | |
they were aware of Edmondson's use of the painkiller. | :20:49. | :20:52. | |
But he then says he went a step further and broke | :20:53. | :20:54. | |
the sport's no needle rule, by self injecting a cocktail | :20:55. | :20:57. | |
of legal vitamins he bought from Italy in the build-up | :20:58. | :21:00. | |
I bought the butterfly clips, the syringes, | :21:01. | :21:13. | |
carnitine, folic acid, Tad, damiana compositum, and B12. | :21:14. | :21:15. | |
And I'd just inject that two or three times a week maybe. | :21:16. | :21:18. | |
Especially when I wanted to lose weight, I'd inject | :21:19. | :21:20. | |
carnitine more often because it was very effective. | :21:21. | :21:24. | |
Actually putting the needle in and making sure there are no | :21:25. | :21:26. | |
bubbles in the butterfly clip, because if there is air in it, | :21:27. | :21:32. | |
it can give you a heart attack and people can die that way. | :21:33. | :21:35. | |
It is a very daunting thing to be doing. | :21:36. | :21:37. | |
Edmondson was then reported to Team Sky when vitamins | :21:38. | :21:39. | |
However, Team Sky say Edmondson denied using the needle and, | :21:40. | :21:43. | |
because of concerns over his mental health, their former clinical | :21:44. | :21:47. | |
director told me he'd advised senior management not to report | :21:48. | :21:50. | |
If I'd done that, and I suppose I'm looking at safety issues, | :21:51. | :21:59. | |
I did think there was a really big risk this lad would be | :22:00. | :22:03. | |
He told us very clearly at the time he hadn't done the injection | :22:04. | :22:07. | |
because he didn't know how to use the needle. | :22:08. | :22:09. | |
He said, I've never used needles, I've never seen the needles before. | :22:10. | :22:12. | |
This is what he told us at the time and, as I say, | :22:13. | :22:15. | |
you've got to remember that without going into too much detail, | :22:16. | :22:17. | |
I haven't got a person who's in a good place in front of me. | :22:18. | :22:21. | |
I've got someone who is breaking down. | :22:22. | :22:22. | |
Edmondson, however, claims he did confess at the time, | :22:23. | :22:25. | |
but that senior management covered it up. | :22:26. | :22:27. | |
They would have had to say publicly, you know, there was a kid, | :22:28. | :22:30. | |
Injecting anything's bad, it wasn't that they were banned substances, | :22:31. | :22:36. | |
it is against the rules to inject, self administer anything, I believe. | :22:37. | :22:41. | |
What he is suggesting is that the team covered up what had | :22:42. | :22:44. | |
happened because they wanted to preserve the reputation | :22:45. | :22:46. | |
I mean I can see his interpretation, I'm sure some of the public | :22:47. | :22:53. | |
We did it in good faith, and we did it on two counts, | :22:54. | :22:58. | |
one is that the team discussion was we didn't think he had actually | :22:59. | :23:01. | |
violated, and the second, the most important was, | :23:02. | :23:03. | |
These revelations come with British cycling under unprecedented scrutiny | :23:04. | :23:08. | |
Edmondson, meanwhile, said he will cooperate | :23:09. | :23:15. | |
with the authorities and hoped his story serves | :23:16. | :23:17. | |
In Sicily, eight people - including a BBC television crew - | :23:18. | :23:23. | |
were injured in an explosion on Europe's most active volcano, | :23:24. | :23:26. | |
Mount Etna, which began erupting yesterday | :23:27. | :23:29. | |
for the third time in the space of three weeks. | :23:30. | :23:33. | |
This image from a European Space Agency satellite | :23:34. | :23:37. | |
caught the ferocity of this explosion. | :23:38. | :23:39. | |
The BBC's science correspondent, Rebecca Morelle, was one | :23:40. | :23:40. | |
of those present and she sent this report. | :23:41. | :23:44. | |
It's one of the world's most active volcanoes. | :23:45. | :23:48. | |
And for the last few weeks, Mount Etna's been erupting again. | :23:49. | :23:53. | |
We were filming a lava flow that had formed overnight. | :23:54. | :23:56. | |
The lava's so slow-moving it's usually considered safe. | :23:57. | :24:03. | |
The hot rocks mixed with snow and ice, causing | :24:04. | :24:15. | |
Our camerawoman, Rachel Price, filmed as rocks, boulders and steam | :24:16. | :24:26. | |
And there were cuts, burns and bruises. | :24:27. | :24:38. | |
But incidents like this, involving people, are rare. | :24:39. | :24:54. | |
A vulcanologist said it was the most dangerous event he'd experienced | :24:55. | :24:58. | |
We've made it back down the mountain, and what happened | :24:59. | :25:02. | |
is only really just starting to sink in. | :25:03. | :25:04. | |
This hole was made by one of the incredibly hot pieces | :25:05. | :25:09. | |
of volcanic rock that rained down upon us. | :25:10. | :25:13. | |
We really thought we were all going to die. | :25:14. | :25:16. | |
Scientists will now continue to track how | :25:17. | :25:22. | |
Our close call only shows how dangerous these | :25:23. | :25:29. | |
Rebecca Morelle, BBC News, Mount Etna. | :25:30. | :25:35. | |
China has declared that Islamist separatists | :25:36. | :25:37. | |
in the far west of the country are the greatest threat | :25:38. | :25:40. | |
The president has promised to build what he calls | :25:41. | :25:45. | |
a great wall of iron to safeguard the country's | :25:46. | :25:50. | |
vast western region of Xinjiang - home to a community of some | :25:51. | :25:53. | |
ten million Uighurs, mostly Muslim people, | :25:54. | :25:54. | |
and the government is concerned that they are vulnerable | :25:55. | :25:57. | |
to radicalising propaganda from Syria and Iraq. | :25:58. | :26:00. | |
Widespread intimidation makes reporting from the region | :26:01. | :26:05. | |
difficult, but our China editor Carrie Gracie | :26:06. | :26:07. | |
gained exclusive access and sent this report. | :26:08. | :26:12. | |
Southern Xinjiang, once the fabled Silk Road | :26:13. | :26:13. | |
Now, the front line in China's war on terror. | :26:14. | :26:25. | |
They call it an all-out offensive, a new great wall of iron. | :26:26. | :26:31. | |
Thousands of troops pledging to lay down their lives and shed blood. | :26:32. | :26:36. | |
We are heading for the scene of the only confirmed attack this year. | :26:37. | :26:41. | |
China doesn't want the world to see the police checkpoint. | :26:42. | :26:44. | |
Body searches in every public building. | :26:45. | :26:51. | |
We are the only foreign reporters to get to Pishan County. | :26:52. | :26:58. | |
Three young Uighurs knifed a group of Han Chinese | :26:59. | :27:00. | |
The government offers huge rewards for information and some are glad | :27:01. | :27:14. | |
You don't need to be afraid, she says, this place is full | :27:15. | :27:20. | |
of police, you can feel safe, it's a lot better than before. | :27:21. | :27:26. | |
Recent attacks here have all been local and low-tech. | :27:27. | :27:33. | |
A handful of young farmers armed only with knives. | :27:34. | :27:38. | |
They show no sign of delivering the kind of large-scale atrocity | :27:39. | :27:42. | |
that will explain the government's call for an all-out offensive | :27:43. | :27:45. | |
and sending thousands of troops to this so-called front line. | :27:46. | :27:50. | |
But some say there are more attacks than the government admits to. | :27:51. | :27:53. | |
They say it is backward here, they would get out if they could. | :27:54. | :28:05. | |
But Beijing worries about where they would go. | :28:06. | :28:13. | |
The so-called Islamic State posted this video of Uighurs in Iraq, | :28:14. | :28:17. | |
promising rivers of blood in China's heartland. | :28:18. | :28:19. | |
Beijing fears they will come home to kill. | :28:20. | :28:23. | |
And so religion in Xinjiang is under ever-growing pressure. | :28:24. | :28:28. | |
No young people in the mosque, no beards, except the very old, | :28:29. | :28:33. | |
and propaganda slogans urging the public to thank their | :28:34. | :28:37. | |
Ablajan sings a tune that Beijing likes. | :28:38. | :28:55. | |
They call him Xinjiang's Justin Bieber. | :28:56. | :29:06. | |
A reminder that Uighurs were once more famous for song, then violence. | :29:07. | :29:09. | |
He tells his fans to seize every chance the government offers. | :29:10. | :29:12. | |
But the relationship between Uighurs and Han Chinese? | :29:13. | :29:17. | |
Foreign critics warn this repression is the recruiting | :29:18. | :29:33. | |
And, until then, every Uighur is suspect. | :29:34. | :29:43. | |
An estimated 20 million people in Britain have | :29:44. | :29:54. | |
at least one tattoo and at the current rate, | :29:55. | :29:57. | |
it's reported that around one and a half million works of body art | :29:58. | :30:00. | |
The industry is reported to be worth ?100 million a year. | :30:01. | :30:04. | |
An exhibition at the National Maritime Museum Cornwall is devoted | :30:05. | :30:07. | |
Our arts editor Will Gompertz has been to Falmouth to take a look. | :30:08. | :30:14. | |
Tattoos, as you know, are all the rage nowadays. | :30:15. | :30:17. | |
You have the geometric all-over design, the Star Wars | :30:18. | :30:25. | |
Stormtropper and, of course, your classic love heart. | :30:26. | :30:30. | |
Do you know what, Lal, I'm as pleased as punch with that. | :30:31. | :30:32. | |
Back in the late '70s, Lal Hardy made his living | :30:33. | :30:37. | |
Today he's taking part in a major museum exhibition, | :30:38. | :30:41. | |
I think the perception of tattoos has changed because there is so much | :30:42. | :30:49. | |
I mean, every genre and subject is covered with tattooing now. | :30:50. | :30:56. | |
There's so much beautiful stuff, you know there isn't a stigma | :30:57. | :31:01. | |
like there used to be attached to it any more. | :31:02. | :31:04. | |
It's this shift in the perception of tattoos that the exhibition | :31:05. | :31:07. | |
charts, as well as taking on what the curators feel, | :31:08. | :31:10. | |
We start with disspelling the myth that is Captain Cook brought | :31:11. | :31:16. | |
British people had been tattooed for hundreds of years before. | :31:17. | :31:19. | |
We start to see evidence of that in the pilgram tattoos that | :31:20. | :31:22. | |
people were going to have in the Middle East, | :31:23. | :31:25. | |
when they were going out in the pilgramages in the 1600s. | :31:26. | :31:27. | |
This is one of my favourite parts of the exhibition, | :31:28. | :31:32. | |
we are trying to challenge the idea that tattooing is gender | :31:33. | :31:35. | |
It's not just people that are getting tattooed but also | :31:36. | :31:39. | |
Justine Knight the tattooist was once the target in a circus | :31:40. | :31:44. | |
Now she's at the business end of the target no more. | :31:45. | :31:48. | |
It must have been really hard for her tattooing | :31:49. | :31:51. | |
in what was predominantly a man's world at the time, in as early | :31:52. | :31:54. | |
as the '20s, '30s, '40s, but her art is so beautiful and it | :31:55. | :31:58. | |
So the exhibition finishes with 100 hands. | :31:59. | :32:05. | |
It's a snapshot of what's happening in Britain and I think it shows not | :32:06. | :32:09. | |
just the diversity of styles, but the true beauty and artistic | :32:10. | :32:12. | |
Not everybody will agree with that appraisal. | :32:13. | :32:17. | |
Some see them as a symbol of moral decline, an image this exhibition | :32:18. | :32:23. | |
seeks to altar by presenting them as an expression of | :32:24. | :32:25. | |
Of course, mine wasn't a real tattoo. | :32:26. | :32:30. | |
Lal Hardy said if I just rub it with this, it'll come... | :32:31. | :32:35. | |
Will Gompertz there getting a little more than he bargained for. | :32:36. | :32:45. | |
Here on BBC One, it's time for the news where you are. | :32:46. | :32:48. |
