The Government backs down and offers
MPs a chance to vote on the detail | 0:00:04 | 0:00:07 | |
of the final Brexit deal. | 0:00:07 | 0:00:11 | |
It's a last-minute concession,
ahead of a controversial | 0:00:11 | 0:00:14 | |
Brexit legislation debate,
which returns to | 0:00:14 | 0:00:15 | |
the Commons tomorrow. | 0:00:15 | 0:00:18 | |
Parliament will be given time
to debate, scrutinise and vote | 0:00:18 | 0:00:20 | |
on the final agreement we strike
with the European Union. | 0:00:20 | 0:00:23 | |
This agreement will only hold
if Parliament approves it. | 0:00:23 | 0:00:27 | |
These questions have been
pressing for months. | 0:00:27 | 0:00:31 | |
This last-minute attempt
to climb down brings them | 0:00:31 | 0:00:33 | |
into very sharp focus. | 0:00:33 | 0:00:35 | |
But the Government's warning that
a vote against the deal means the UK | 0:00:35 | 0:00:40 | |
will leave with no agreement leaves
some MPs unimpressed. | 0:00:40 | 0:00:42 | |
Also tonight: | 0:00:42 | 0:00:44 | |
A BBC investigation reveals a deal
to allow so-called IS fighters | 0:00:44 | 0:00:46 | |
to escape the Syrian city of Raqqa. | 0:00:46 | 0:00:48 | |
Where are they now? | 0:00:48 | 0:00:55 | |
It's here that they realised
that they might live | 0:00:55 | 0:00:57 | |
to fight another day. | 0:00:57 | 0:00:58 | |
The deal to get them out
of here is the deal that no-one | 0:00:58 | 0:01:01 | |
wants to talk about. | 0:01:01 | 0:01:02 | |
It's Raqqa's dirty secret. | 0:01:02 | 0:01:08 | |
The force of the earthquake that
struck Iraq and Iran, | 0:01:08 | 0:01:10 | |
killing over 350 people. | 0:01:10 | 0:01:14 | |
The British woman
imprisoned in Iran. | 0:01:14 | 0:01:15 | |
The Foreign Secretary apologises
for mishandling her case | 0:01:15 | 0:01:17 | |
and increasing her distress. | 0:01:17 | 0:01:23 | |
And the ten million tonnes of food
we throw away every year - | 0:01:23 | 0:01:26 | |
that experts say is mostly good
enough to eat. | 0:01:26 | 0:01:30 | |
And coming up on
Sportsday on BBC News: | 0:01:30 | 0:01:32 | |
1958 was the last time Italy failed
to make it to the World Cup. | 0:01:32 | 0:01:35 | |
Can Sweden prevent them
from reaching Russia next year? | 0:01:35 | 0:01:38 | |
Good evening. | 0:02:01 | 0:02:02 | |
In a political climbdown,
the Government has offered MPs | 0:02:02 | 0:02:05 | |
the opportunity to debate the final
Brexit agreement line | 0:02:05 | 0:02:12 | |
by line - and potentially
vote to amend it. | 0:02:12 | 0:02:14 | |
But the Brexit Secretary,
David Davis, couldn't guarantee | 0:02:14 | 0:02:16 | |
the bill will happen before Brexit
day, in March 2019, and warned | 0:02:16 | 0:02:19 | |
that if MPs use the bill
to vote against the deal - | 0:02:19 | 0:02:22 | |
whatever it is - Britain will simply
leave the EU without an agreement. | 0:02:22 | 0:02:25 | |
It appears to have been a move
to appease Tory rebels, ahead | 0:02:25 | 0:02:28 | |
of a key Brexit debate tomorrow. | 0:02:28 | 0:02:30 | |
But it's infuriated many MPs on both
sides of the Commons. | 0:02:30 | 0:02:33 | |
Here's our political
editor, Laura Kuenssberg. | 0:02:33 | 0:02:38 | |
The trappings of power at the Prime
Minister at London's glittering | 0:02:45 | 0:02:50 | |
Guildhall tonight. An evening away
from the Parliamentary grind, trying | 0:02:50 | 0:02:55 | |
to avoid being hit by the Golden
mace. Less surprising were her | 0:02:55 | 0:03:01 | |
reassurances about her Brexit
approach. | 0:03:01 | 0:03:04 | |
There will be ups and downs along
the way. But I believe we should | 0:03:04 | 0:03:08 | |
embrace this period with confidence
and optimism. | 0:03:08 | 0:03:12 | |
The Government is not too cheery
about getting their Brexit | 0:03:12 | 0:03:15 | |
legislation through the Commons.
Secretary David Davis. This | 0:03:15 | 0:03:20 | |
afternoon, at -- a concession, a new
act of Parliament on the final | 0:03:20 | 0:03:26 | |
Brexit deal.
I can confirm that once we reach an | 0:03:26 | 0:03:30 | |
agreement, we will bring forward is
Pacific Pisa primary legislation to | 0:03:30 | 0:03:33 | |
implement that agreement. Parliament
will be given time to debate, | 0:03:33 | 0:03:37 | |
scrutinise and boat on the final
agreement we strike with the | 0:03:37 | 0:03:40 | |
European Union.
This will only hold a Parliament | 0:03:40 | 0:03:42 | |
approves it. Giving in Sorum Tory
and Labour demands for Parliament to | 0:03:42 | 0:03:48 | |
have a proper decision if and when a
deal is done. It is a recognition by | 0:03:48 | 0:03:52 | |
the Government that it is about to
lose a series of boats on the | 0:03:52 | 0:03:57 | |
Withdrawal Bill. Mr Speaker, these
questions have been pressing for | 0:03:57 | 0:04:02 | |
months, this last-minute attempt to
climb down brings them into very | 0:04:02 | 0:04:04 | |
sharp focus and we are entitled to
clear answers. | 0:04:04 | 0:04:11 | |
Stop Brexit! In other words, what
took you so long to admit that | 0:04:11 | 0:04:16 | |
Parliament would need a make or
break Brexit moment? | 0:04:16 | 0:04:20 | |
Stop Brexit!
There has been the is resistance to | 0:04:20 | 0:04:25 | |
the laws already going through the
Commons and this was meant to take | 0:04:25 | 0:04:30 | |
some of the wind out of the sails of
the rebels but if there is no deal | 0:04:30 | 0:04:33 | |
and no time, could there be no vote?
If we run out of time, none of these | 0:04:33 | 0:04:38 | |
suggestions that have been put
forward is that the time has to be | 0:04:38 | 0:04:42 | |
extended under Article 50 so that
all parties are able to deal with | 0:04:42 | 0:04:46 | |
it. If the House of Commons votes
down the new Withdrawal Bill, will | 0:04:46 | 0:04:51 | |
the consequence be that we will
still leave on the 29th of March | 0:04:51 | 0:04:56 | |
2019 but without an agreement? Yes.
What was that? The Secretary of | 0:04:56 | 0:05:06 | |
State said, yes.
So does it change that much? There | 0:05:06 | 0:05:13 | |
is still an happiness swirling
around. I have to say a lot of us | 0:05:13 | 0:05:17 | |
were insulted by this because it
sounded so good and when you dug | 0:05:17 | 0:05:20 | |
into the detail, you realised this
so-called meaningful vote was | 0:05:20 | 0:05:26 | |
completely meaningless.
It matters not so much here, but in | 0:05:26 | 0:05:28 | |
the real world. European business
equipped in Number 10 today to make | 0:05:28 | 0:05:33 | |
it plain to the Prime Minister.
Jobs, millions of families | 0:05:33 | 0:05:38 | |
livelihoods depend on her getting
Brexit right. | 0:05:38 | 0:05:42 | |
Laura, the timing of this
intervention by the Government | 0:05:42 | 0:05:46 | |
is key, but how meaningful is this
suggested new bill and is it enough | 0:05:46 | 0:05:49 | |
to keep the Government out
of difficulty with its own MPs? | 0:05:49 | 0:05:52 | |
I think it is certainly not enough
to keep the Godman out of trouble | 0:05:52 | 0:05:55 | |
with its own MPs. The timing of this
is absolutely crucial. It is no | 0:05:55 | 0:06:00 | |
current system is the Government
caved on this particular issue | 0:06:00 | 0:06:03 | |
today. Tomorrow, the Withdrawal Bill
as it is known gets into its next | 0:06:03 | 0:06:10 | |
stage in the House of Commons and
there will be between now and | 0:06:10 | 0:06:16 | |
Christmas line by line, day by day,
arguments on hundreds of amendments | 0:06:16 | 0:06:21 | |
over how the Government wants to
take us out of the EU as they try to | 0:06:21 | 0:06:24 | |
transpose European law back onto the
British statute book. But the idea | 0:06:24 | 0:06:31 | |
that suddenly emerged by surprise
today of having another Withdrawal | 0:06:31 | 0:06:34 | |
Bill much later in the stage to give
MPs a Finals Day was intended to | 0:06:34 | 0:06:40 | |
calm down all the tempers that were
already fraying over what would | 0:06:40 | 0:06:45 | |
happen in the next few months and
has it allowed those tempers to cool | 0:06:45 | 0:06:49 | |
down? It does not seem that way to
me. I am told by people on both | 0:06:49 | 0:06:54 | |
sides inside the Tory Party that
there was a stormy meeting between | 0:06:54 | 0:06:57 | |
the Chief Whip, in charge of party
discipline, and a dozen key Tory | 0:06:57 | 0:07:02 | |
rebels about this matter this
afternoon. Both sides concede it was | 0:07:02 | 0:07:08 | |
stormy, that is political code for
quite grim and probably with a lot | 0:07:08 | 0:07:12 | |
of shouting involved. Ministers know
that they are going to have to give | 0:07:12 | 0:07:15 | |
ground in the coming months and may
have known for a long time they | 0:07:15 | 0:07:19 | |
would have the net and took and
compromise here and there, but | 0:07:19 | 0:07:24 | |
today's attempt at conceding, which
is not something a competent | 0:07:24 | 0:07:26 | |
government would have done, has
knocked -- has not waved a magic | 0:07:26 | 0:07:33 | |
wand to make this all go away.
Thank you. | 0:07:33 | 0:07:37 | |
When US-backed Syrian fighters took
full control of the city of Raqqa, | 0:07:37 | 0:07:40 | |
it ended three years of rule
there by so-called Islamic State. | 0:07:40 | 0:07:43 | |
But now the BBC has uncovered
details of a secret deal that let | 0:07:43 | 0:07:46 | |
several hundred IS fighters escape. | 0:07:46 | 0:07:48 | |
IS made Raqqa, in northern Syria,
its headquarters in early 2014. | 0:07:48 | 0:07:52 | |
Last month, Raqqa fell,
but this programme has learnt that | 0:07:52 | 0:07:55 | |
in exchange for a deal to save lives
and bring peace to the city, | 0:07:55 | 0:07:58 | |
a convoy carrying several
hundred IS fighters, | 0:07:58 | 0:08:01 | |
their families and weapons
and ammunition were able | 0:08:01 | 0:08:03 | |
to leave the city freely. | 0:08:03 | 0:08:07 | |
The question now is,
where are they now? | 0:08:07 | 0:08:10 | |
Our Middle East correspondent,
Quentin Sommerville, | 0:08:10 | 0:08:12 | |
has this exclusive report. | 0:08:12 | 0:08:17 | |
Even at peace, with the so-called
Islamic State gone, Raqqa | 0:08:25 | 0:08:28 | |
is still deadly dangerous. | 0:08:28 | 0:08:31 | |
Few of its roads have been cleared. | 0:08:31 | 0:08:34 | |
The fighting stopped here a month
ago, but there are still mines | 0:08:34 | 0:08:36 | |
and booby traps everywhere. | 0:08:36 | 0:08:40 | |
Most of the city is a no-go zone. | 0:08:40 | 0:08:42 | |
Hardly anyone has been
allowed to return. | 0:08:42 | 0:08:45 | |
But we made it inside,
searching for a trail | 0:08:45 | 0:08:47 | |
through the debris, looking
for clues to the Islamic | 0:08:47 | 0:08:50 | |
State's escape route. | 0:08:50 | 0:08:57 | |
The city hospital was their last
refuge and it's here | 0:08:57 | 0:08:59 | |
where our journey begins. | 0:08:59 | 0:09:05 | |
The group's final defeat came thanks
not to a battle, but to a bus ride. | 0:09:10 | 0:09:16 | |
The convoy left from here,
the city hospital. | 0:09:16 | 0:09:18 | |
They'd been holed up
inside for months. | 0:09:18 | 0:09:20 | |
On it were IS fighters,
their families and hostages, | 0:09:20 | 0:09:29 | |
but we're told the mood was not
dejected, it was not defeated. | 0:09:29 | 0:09:32 | |
They were defiant. | 0:09:32 | 0:09:33 | |
It was here that they realised
that they might live to fight | 0:09:33 | 0:09:36 | |
another day. | 0:09:36 | 0:09:38 | |
The deal to get them out
of here is the deal that no | 0:09:38 | 0:09:41 | |
one wants to talk about. | 0:09:41 | 0:09:42 | |
It's Raqqa's dirty secret. | 0:09:42 | 0:09:44 | |
So did Kurds, Arabs and the Western
coalition get together and agree | 0:09:44 | 0:09:46 | |
a deal that not only allowed
IS to escape from Raqqa, | 0:09:46 | 0:09:51 | |
but also allowed its fiercest
fighters to roam far and wide | 0:09:51 | 0:09:54 | |
from the confines of this city? | 0:09:54 | 0:10:01 | |
They left a city lonely,
empty and in ruins. | 0:10:01 | 0:10:05 | |
The hunt begins here in Raqqa,
but would take us across | 0:10:05 | 0:10:08 | |
northern Syria and beyond. | 0:10:08 | 0:10:10 | |
The deal started
with a media blackout. | 0:10:10 | 0:10:14 | |
The Islamic State's escape
was not to be televised. | 0:10:14 | 0:10:21 | |
But, thanks to amateur footage... | 0:10:21 | 0:10:26 | |
We see that this was a convoy
and a deal too large to hide. | 0:10:26 | 0:10:30 | |
The world was told only a few dozen
local fighters were being let go. | 0:10:30 | 0:10:35 | |
No foreigners and no weapons. | 0:10:35 | 0:10:37 | |
But the trucks were crammed
full of fighters, some | 0:10:37 | 0:10:39 | |
wearing suicide belts. | 0:10:39 | 0:10:40 | |
All were heavily armed. | 0:10:40 | 0:10:45 | |
After days of searching,
we picked up the trail at a truck | 0:10:45 | 0:10:48 | |
stop on the outskirts of Tabqa. | 0:10:48 | 0:10:51 | |
Here, we discovered the drivers,
all civilians, who drove | 0:10:51 | 0:10:56 | |
IS to freedom. | 0:10:56 | 0:10:59 | |
They had been hired
by the Kurdish-led Syrian | 0:10:59 | 0:11:01 | |
Democratic Forces. | 0:11:01 | 0:11:02 | |
It was the longest
journey of their lines. | 0:11:02 | 0:11:08 | |
Their trucks were rigged
with IS bombs, in case | 0:11:08 | 0:11:11 | |
the deal collapsed. | 0:11:11 | 0:11:12 | |
They had been told they were picking
up only a few hundred civilians, | 0:11:12 | 0:11:15 | |
that it would be a quick job. | 0:11:15 | 0:11:17 | |
They ended up driving day
and night for three days. | 0:11:17 | 0:11:24 | |
Everybody's been saying only
a couple of hundred at the absolute | 0:11:24 | 0:11:27 | |
maximum IS fighters left Raqqa. | 0:11:27 | 0:11:29 | |
You took them out, tell us how
many you transported. | 0:11:29 | 0:11:35 | |
TRANSLATION: We were 47 trucks
and 13 buses, and IS militants | 0:11:35 | 0:11:37 | |
took their own vehicles, as well. | 0:11:37 | 0:11:39 | |
Our convoy was 6-7 kilometres long. | 0:11:39 | 0:11:45 | |
We took out around 4,000 people,
including women and children. | 0:11:45 | 0:11:48 | |
Tell me about the foreigners
that were on the trucks, | 0:11:48 | 0:11:51 | |
where were they from? | 0:11:51 | 0:11:52 | |
TRANSLATION: France, Turkey,
Azerbaijan, Pakistan, | 0:11:52 | 0:11:55 | |
Yemen, Saudi, China,
Tunisia, Egypt. | 0:11:55 | 0:11:58 | |
There was a huge
number of foreigners. | 0:11:58 | 0:12:05 | |
This couldn't look like the Islamic
State's escape to victory, | 0:12:05 | 0:12:07 | |
so the SDF insisted there would be
no flags and no banners. | 0:12:07 | 0:12:12 | |
Instead, IS fighters sat boldly
on top of the trucks. | 0:12:12 | 0:12:16 | |
The axle on one lorry broke, it was
so overloaded with IS weaponry. | 0:12:16 | 0:12:22 | |
When they made it to the village
of Shenina, they stopped | 0:12:22 | 0:12:25 | |
at this person's shop. | 0:12:25 | 0:12:28 | |
Pale and hungry, the IS fighters
cleared his shelves. | 0:12:28 | 0:12:32 | |
TRANSLATION: We were at the shop
here and an SDF vehicle stopped | 0:12:32 | 0:12:35 | |
to say there was a truce agreement
between them and IS. | 0:12:35 | 0:12:38 | |
They wanted us to clear the area. | 0:12:38 | 0:12:44 | |
As soon as we did so,
an IS convoy came passing through. | 0:12:44 | 0:12:49 | |
There were about 4,000 people
leaving Raqqa on that road here. | 0:12:49 | 0:12:52 | |
It took them about 2-3 hours. | 0:12:52 | 0:12:53 | |
It was bumper-to-bumper. | 0:12:53 | 0:12:55 | |
Coalition aircraft flew
above them, but did nothing. | 0:12:55 | 0:12:59 | |
The convoy drove on. | 0:12:59 | 0:13:03 | |
We kept close on its tracks, for
here is where IS hoped to disappear. | 0:13:03 | 0:13:08 | |
They left the main road. | 0:13:08 | 0:13:14 | |
Mahmoud watched as they took a dirt
trail into the desert. | 0:13:14 | 0:13:17 | |
As they passed, they warned
that they would behead | 0:13:17 | 0:13:20 | |
the people who'd betrayed them. | 0:13:20 | 0:13:21 | |
TRANSLATION: There
were loads of vehicles. | 0:13:21 | 0:13:23 | |
I could not count them all. | 0:13:23 | 0:13:24 | |
It took them about four
hours to pass through. | 0:13:24 | 0:13:26 | |
We have been living in terror
for the past four, five years. | 0:13:26 | 0:13:29 | |
It will take us a while to
rid ourselves of that | 0:13:29 | 0:13:32 | |
psychological fear. | 0:13:32 | 0:13:33 | |
We feel that they may
be coming back for us, | 0:13:33 | 0:13:35 | |
or send sleeper agents. | 0:13:35 | 0:13:39 | |
We're still not sure
that they have gone for good | 0:13:39 | 0:13:42 | |
and will not ever return. | 0:13:42 | 0:13:45 | |
Responding to our investigation,
the coalition now admits that | 0:13:45 | 0:13:47 | |
thousands were allowed
to leave here. | 0:13:47 | 0:13:51 | |
But foreigners did not
escape, it maintains. | 0:13:51 | 0:13:56 | |
Some of those who escaped have
already made it here to Turkey. | 0:13:56 | 0:14:04 | |
Raqqa was their capital,
but it was also a cage. | 0:14:04 | 0:14:06 | |
There, they were trapped. | 0:14:06 | 0:14:08 | |
The deal brought peace to the city,
but it also allowed some of the most | 0:14:08 | 0:14:12 | |
battle-hardened IS fighters
to escape not just Raqqa, | 0:14:12 | 0:14:15 | |
but also Syria, and arrive
here on Europe's doorstep. | 0:14:15 | 0:14:18 | |
The winds have carried news
of the Islamic State's defeat, | 0:14:18 | 0:14:24 | |
but they bring with them a warning
and a threat from a smuggler | 0:14:24 | 0:14:28 | |
and a former IS fighter. | 0:14:28 | 0:14:30 | |
TRANSLATION: After IS crumbled
in Raqqa and Deir ez-Zur, | 0:14:30 | 0:14:34 | |
the smugglers here noticed a surge
in the numbers of those | 0:14:34 | 0:14:37 | |
who are trying to cross into Turkey. | 0:14:37 | 0:14:45 | |
They are mostly IS fighters and
families from Raqqa and Deir ez-Zur. | 0:14:45 | 0:14:48 | |
They are both
foreigners and Syrians. | 0:14:48 | 0:14:50 | |
TRANSLATION: There are some French
brothers from our group who left | 0:14:50 | 0:14:52 | |
for France to carry out attacks
in what would be called | 0:14:52 | 0:14:55 | |
a day of reckoning. | 0:14:55 | 0:14:57 | |
The caliphate has gone,
but the Islamic State | 0:14:57 | 0:15:00 | |
is still out there. | 0:15:00 | 0:15:02 | |

More than 400 people
have been killed | 0:15:07 | 0:15:08 | |
in a powerful earthquake that's
struck the northern | 0:15:08 | 0:15:11 | |
border of Iran and Iraq. | 0:15:11 | 0:15:14 | |
Another 7,000 were injured
and the casualty figure | 0:15:14 | 0:15:17 | |
is expected to rise on both
sides of the border. | 0:15:17 | 0:15:21 | |
A major rescue operation is
underway, but it is being hampered | 0:15:21 | 0:15:23 | |
by landslides and power cuts. | 0:15:23 | 0:15:25 | |
The epicentre of the quake,
which measured 7.3, | 0:15:25 | 0:15:28 | |
was just under 20 miles
south of Halabja. | 0:15:28 | 0:15:30 | |
One of the worst-hit
areas was Sarpol-e Zahab, | 0:15:30 | 0:15:32 | |
as James Robbins reports. | 0:15:32 | 0:15:36 | |
The moment the Earth
starts shaking violently. | 0:15:36 | 0:15:38 | |
A man runs for his life
from the control room of this dam, | 0:15:38 | 0:15:41 | |
as massive boulders
are hurled around outside. | 0:15:41 | 0:15:46 | |
The dam wall was not breached. | 0:15:46 | 0:15:48 | |
But, elsewhere, devastation. | 0:15:48 | 0:15:53 | |
In Iran, the border town
of Sarpol-e Zahab was hit hardest. | 0:15:53 | 0:15:56 | |
As entire walls collapsed,
many families did manage | 0:15:56 | 0:15:58 | |
to flee their homes,
but others were crushed or buried. | 0:15:58 | 0:16:05 | |
At a local hospital, there were
many stories of narrow escape. | 0:16:05 | 0:16:08 | |
TRANSLATION:
I fell from the balcony down. | 0:16:08 | 0:16:10 | |
The earthquake was very strong. | 0:16:10 | 0:16:13 | |
TRANSLATION: The earthquake
shattered the window, | 0:16:13 | 0:16:16 | |
which fell on me, and it
wounded my hand and my face. | 0:16:16 | 0:16:20 | |
Rescue has been made more difficult
by the mountainous terrain. | 0:16:20 | 0:16:25 | |
Iranian authorities are pouring
resources in, but landslides | 0:16:25 | 0:16:28 | |
and power cuts are slowing
both rescue efforts and | 0:16:28 | 0:16:32 | |
the task of establishing
the full extent of casualties. | 0:16:32 | 0:16:35 | |
This quake was 7.3 in magnitude
and happened in a known danger zone. | 0:16:35 | 0:16:41 | |
The surface of the Earth is made
up of tectonic plates, | 0:16:41 | 0:16:44 | |
and, in this case, the Arabian plate
has been moving roughly northwards | 0:16:44 | 0:16:49 | |
against the Eurasian plate at a rate
of two centimetres - | 0:16:49 | 0:16:51 | |
just under an inch a year. | 0:16:51 | 0:16:54 | |
Forces build up
and eventually are very suddenly | 0:16:54 | 0:16:56 | |
released with devastating effect. | 0:16:56 | 0:17:01 | |
The destruction in Iran is greater
than in neighbouring Iraq, | 0:17:01 | 0:17:05 | |
where a major rescue
operation is also under way. | 0:17:05 | 0:17:09 | |
BBC correspondent
Rami Ruhayem is there. | 0:17:09 | 0:17:11 | |
This area is one of the hardest hit
in Iraq by Sunday's earthquake. | 0:17:11 | 0:17:15 | |
We are told seven people were inside
this home when it collapsed. | 0:17:15 | 0:17:19 | |
Two of them were killed
and others were injured. | 0:17:19 | 0:17:23 | |
Several other buildings suffered
similar damage to this one, | 0:17:23 | 0:17:26 | |
but, fortunately, they seem to be
the exception rather than the rule, | 0:17:26 | 0:17:29 | |
and most of the other homes
in the region managed to withstand | 0:17:29 | 0:17:32 | |
the impact of the earthquake. | 0:17:32 | 0:17:36 | |
For the survivors,
night-time is the toughest. | 0:17:36 | 0:17:40 | |
In rapidly falling temperatures,
families are huddled around fires. | 0:17:40 | 0:17:42 | |
Even where buildings are intact, | 0:17:42 | 0:17:44 | |
fear of after-shocks
will keep people outdoors. | 0:17:44 | 0:17:47 | |
James Robbins, BBC News. | 0:17:47 | 0:17:54 | |
The Foreign Secretary has admitted
for the first time that he made | 0:17:54 | 0:17:57 | |
a mistake in his handling
of the case | 0:17:57 | 0:17:58 | |
of Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe -
the British woman held | 0:17:58 | 0:18:00 | |
in prison in Iran. | 0:18:00 | 0:18:02 | |
Boris Johnson apologised
for the distress and suffering | 0:18:02 | 0:18:06 | |
he had caused her and her family
by wrongly saying that she was | 0:18:06 | 0:18:09 | |
training journalists in Iran,
as opposed to being on holiday. | 0:18:09 | 0:18:12 | |
He also confirmed that he would be
meeting Mrs Zaghari-Ratcliffe's | 0:18:12 | 0:18:14 | |
husband this week. | 0:18:14 | 0:18:15 | |
Our special correspondent, Lucy
Manning, has been speaking to him. | 0:18:15 | 0:18:18 | |
THEY SING | 0:18:18 | 0:18:21 | |
A mother singing with her daughter
just a week before her arrest. | 0:18:21 | 0:18:28 | |
Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe has now
been separated from three-year-old | 0:18:28 | 0:18:30 | |
Gabriella for a year and a half. | 0:18:30 | 0:18:35 | |
With her health deteriorating
in an Iranian prison and the words | 0:18:35 | 0:18:40 | |
of politicians here appearing
to harm her case, her | 0:18:40 | 0:18:43 | |
husband has this message
for the Foreign Secretary. | 0:18:43 | 0:18:44 | |
I want you to solve
this mess in your name. | 0:18:44 | 0:18:47 | |
And I stand by that. | 0:18:47 | 0:18:48 | |
I think it's not a mess that's
entirely the Foreign Secretary's | 0:18:48 | 0:18:51 | |
making, by any means,
but it is a mess that his name has | 0:18:51 | 0:18:54 | |
been attached to and it is getting
deeper and more complicated | 0:18:54 | 0:18:56 | |
because of that. | 0:18:56 | 0:18:58 | |
He will take these requests
to a meeting with the Foreign | 0:18:58 | 0:19:01 | |
Secretary this week. | 0:19:01 | 0:19:02 | |
You're going to go to Iran. | 0:19:02 | 0:19:03 | |
And when you go, I'd
like to go with you. | 0:19:03 | 0:19:05 | |
I'd like to be on that plane,
I'd like to be standing next to you, | 0:19:05 | 0:19:09 | |
for the symbolism that has. | 0:19:09 | 0:19:10 | |
The second thing is that Nazanin be
given diplomatic protection. | 0:19:10 | 0:19:13 | |
That is within the gift
of the Government. | 0:19:13 | 0:19:15 | |
Mr Johnson had been less than clear
in backing the family's account that | 0:19:15 | 0:19:19 | |
Mrs Zaghari-Ratcliffe was in Iran
visiting relatives | 0:19:19 | 0:19:21 | |
when she was arrested. | 0:19:21 | 0:19:22 | |
When you look at what
Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe | 0:19:22 | 0:19:24 | |
was doing, you just,
you know, she was simply | 0:19:24 | 0:19:27 | |
teaching people journalism,
as I understand it. | 0:19:27 | 0:19:31 | |
Today, Labour demanded answers
about Mrs Zaghari-Ratcliffe's case | 0:19:31 | 0:19:36 | |
from the Foreign Secretary,
who had to return from Brussels. | 0:19:36 | 0:19:38 | |
It is not good enough. | 0:19:38 | 0:19:39 | |
If it is a matter of pride
that the Foreign Secretary | 0:19:39 | 0:19:42 | |
is refusing to admit simply
that he has made a mistake, well, | 0:19:42 | 0:19:46 | |
then I feel bound to say to him
that his pride matters not one ounce | 0:19:46 | 0:19:50 | |
compared to Nazanin's freedom. | 0:19:50 | 0:19:54 | |
Mr Johnson was apologetic. | 0:19:54 | 0:19:55 | |
It was my mistake. | 0:19:55 | 0:19:56 | |
I should have been clearer. | 0:19:56 | 0:19:57 | |
I apologise for the distress... | 0:19:57 | 0:20:03 | |
I apologise for the distress
and anguish that has been caused | 0:20:03 | 0:20:06 | |
to Mrs Zaghari-Ratcliffe
and her family. | 0:20:06 | 0:20:07 | |
Ministers are considering
if diplomatic protection can be | 0:20:07 | 0:20:09 | |
given to Mrs Zaghari-Ratcliffe,
which would turn it from a consular | 0:20:09 | 0:20:12 | |
issue into a more serious dispute
between the UK and Iran. | 0:20:12 | 0:20:21 | |
But it's not clear if
this would help her. | 0:20:22 | 0:20:24 | |
Mrs Zaghari-Ratcliffe's employers
were insistent her job | 0:20:24 | 0:20:26 | |
was an administrative one. | 0:20:26 | 0:20:27 | |
We don't work in Iran. | 0:20:27 | 0:20:29 | |
To start with, the Thomson Reuters'
condition doesn't work there. | 0:20:29 | 0:20:31 | |
And we have no relations with Iran. | 0:20:31 | 0:20:33 | |
But on top of that,
she was really on holiday. | 0:20:33 | 0:20:35 | |
And let me tell you,
she's not spy material at all. | 0:20:35 | 0:20:38 | |
Her family just want her home. | 0:20:38 | 0:20:42 | |
Young Gabriella cried when her visit
to her mum in prison this | 0:20:42 | 0:20:45 | |

A man has been has been found guilty
of carrying out an acid attack | 0:20:50 | 0:20:53 | |
at a London nightclub
in which 16 people | 0:20:53 | 0:20:55 | |
were seriously injured. | 0:20:55 | 0:21:05 | |
In CCTV, you can see
25-year-old Arthur Collins | 0:21:06 | 0:21:10 | |
throw the corrosive substance
at the Mangle Club, | 0:21:10 | 0:21:12 | |
in east London, in April. | 0:21:12 | 0:21:13 | |
He was convicted of 14 charges,
including grievous bodily harm. | 0:21:13 | 0:21:15 | |
An inquest has heard
that Welsh Government | 0:21:15 | 0:21:17 | |
minister Carl Sergeant -
who was sacked after allegations | 0:21:17 | 0:21:19 | |
about his conduct - hanged himself. | 0:21:19 | 0:21:21 | |
His body was discovered at his home
in Flintshire last week. | 0:21:21 | 0:21:23 | |
Mr Sergeant was facing
a Labour Party investigation | 0:21:23 | 0:21:25 | |
following claims about his behaviour
by a number of women. | 0:21:25 | 0:21:27 | |
Bob Geldof has returned his honour

MPs in Westminster have
been debating a budget | 0:21:41 | 0:21:43 | |
for Northern Ireland,
ten months after the power-sharing | 0:21:43 | 0:21:46 | |
government at Stormont collapsed. | 0:21:46 | 0:21:48 | |
Despite talks, the DUP and Sinn Fein
have failed to agree a deal | 0:21:48 | 0:21:51 | |
to restore devolution since then. | 0:21:51 | 0:21:53 | |
Our Ireland correspondent, Chris
Buckler, is at Stormont tonight. | 0:21:53 | 0:21:55 | |
Chris, this is not something
Westminster wanted. | 0:21:55 | 0:22:03 | |
But not having a budget has had an
effect. Yes, public services have | 0:22:03 | 0:22:09 | |
been running out of cash without a
power-sharing executive Westminster | 0:22:09 | 0:22:13 | |
has had to step in and the
announcement tonight the promise of | 0:22:13 | 0:22:18 | |
an extra 15 million for health and
education, money that has come from | 0:22:18 | 0:22:22 | |
the million pound deal the DUP did
to support the Tories at Westminster | 0:22:22 | 0:22:28 | |
but relationships there have not
helped relationships that Stormont | 0:22:28 | 0:22:32 | |
and Sinn Fein and the DUP are deeply
divided. James Brokenshire I was at | 0:22:32 | 0:22:37 | |
pains in the Commons to say it was
not the start of direct rule, where | 0:22:37 | 0:22:42 | |
London would take over the running
of departments in Belfast. He wants | 0:22:42 | 0:22:46 | |
a deal between parties here he said.
Sinn Fein said negotiations are over | 0:22:46 | 0:22:52 | |
for the moment and the DUP have been
taking the instruction of direct | 0:22:52 | 0:22:57 | |
rule in a matter of weeks. We have a
limbo for Northern Ireland | 0:22:57 | 0:23:01 | |
government between devolution and
direct rule and without anyone able | 0:23:01 | 0:23:07 | |
to make decisions. Frankly, that
cannot go one for ever. | 0:23:07 | 0:23:10 | |
Global carbon-dioxide emissions
are projected to rise | 0:23:10 | 0:23:12 | |
for the first time in four years. | 0:23:12 | 0:23:14 | |
Scientists at a United Nations
climate conference in Germany say | 0:23:14 | 0:23:16 | |
the main cause of the growth
is the greater use of coal in China, | 0:23:16 | 0:23:19 | |
as its economy grows. | 0:23:19 | 0:23:21 | |
Researchers say cuts in emissions
are needed to avoid dangerous global | 0:23:21 | 0:23:24 | |
warming later this century,
as our science editor, | 0:23:24 | 0:23:27 | |
David Shukman, explains. | 0:23:27 | 0:23:31 | |
For more than a week now,
the people of Delhi have been | 0:23:31 | 0:23:34 | |
suffering in air that
has become toxic. | 0:23:34 | 0:23:39 | |
Smog created by countless
engines burning fossil | 0:23:39 | 0:23:41 | |
fuels, including coal. | 0:23:41 | 0:23:44 | |
Coal is one of the biggest sources
of pollution worldwide. | 0:23:44 | 0:23:46 | |
Power stations such as this one
in Poland belch out gases | 0:23:46 | 0:23:49 | |
including carbon dioxide,
and despite promises to clean up, | 0:23:49 | 0:23:53 | |
emissions are actually increasing. | 0:23:53 | 0:23:57 | |
For countries in the path
of devastating hurricanes, | 0:23:57 | 0:23:59 | |
like the ones that struck
the Caribbean earlier this year, | 0:23:59 | 0:24:01 | |
this is depressing. | 0:24:01 | 0:24:04 | |
Because global warming may bring
more extreme weather. | 0:24:04 | 0:24:08 | |
And it seems to them that little
is being done to stop it. | 0:24:08 | 0:24:12 | |
This is very worrying for us. | 0:24:12 | 0:24:13 | |
I would hate to say that it
sounds a death knell, | 0:24:13 | 0:24:17 | |
but it translates into that,
given this summer we have had such | 0:24:17 | 0:24:20 | |
an active hurricane season. | 0:24:20 | 0:24:21 | |
We know what Irma and Maria
did to the region. | 0:24:21 | 0:24:25 | |
This new research finds that more
and more carbon dioxide | 0:24:25 | 0:24:27 | |
is being released from power
stations, factories and different | 0:24:27 | 0:24:30 | |
forms of transport. | 0:24:30 | 0:24:33 | |
And this matters because the gas
traps heat in the atmosphere. | 0:24:33 | 0:24:35 | |
This graph shows how emissions
of carbon dioxide have risen over | 0:24:35 | 0:24:38 | |
almost three decades. | 0:24:38 | 0:24:43 | |
In the last few years,
they have been levelling off, | 0:24:43 | 0:24:46 | |
which was seen as a positive sign. | 0:24:46 | 0:24:48 | |
But this year, there has suddenly
been an increase of 2%. | 0:24:48 | 0:24:51 | |
So what is happening and who is to
blame around the world? | 0:24:51 | 0:24:54 | |
In America, emissions of carbon
dioxide have fallen slightly | 0:24:54 | 0:24:59 | |
and that is despite President Trump
wanting to leave | 0:24:59 | 0:25:01 | |
the Paris agreement. | 0:25:01 | 0:25:03 | |
In Europe, they are on course
to be down as well. | 0:25:03 | 0:25:05 | |
But in China they are up,
as the economy picks up | 0:25:05 | 0:25:08 | |
and more coal is burned. | 0:25:08 | 0:25:12 | |
Climate scientists say it is vital
that less coal is used | 0:25:12 | 0:25:15 | |
if we are to have any chance
of heading off the worst | 0:25:15 | 0:25:17 | |
of global warming. | 0:25:17 | 0:25:18 | |
But President Trump is promoting
the coal industry and he wants | 0:25:18 | 0:25:21 | |
America to help other countries
to use it. | 0:25:21 | 0:25:26 | |
There are countries that have said
that coal is going to be | 0:25:26 | 0:25:29 | |
part of our energy mix
for the foreseeable future, many | 0:25:29 | 0:25:31 | |
in Asia and some in Africa as well. | 0:25:31 | 0:25:34 | |
And they have been clear that
because coal is going to be part | 0:25:34 | 0:25:38 | |
of their energy mix in the future,
they want support for | 0:25:38 | 0:25:40 | |
cleaner coal technology. | 0:25:40 | 0:25:44 | |
There is now a battle over a fuel
that many economies rely on. | 0:25:44 | 0:25:47 | |
There are plans to make
coal cleaner, to use it | 0:25:47 | 0:25:51 | |
without releasing carbon dioxide. | 0:25:51 | 0:25:52 | |
But this is not much of a reality
so far and, in the meantime, | 0:25:52 | 0:25:56 | |
there are warnings that emissions
need to fall rapidly, | 0:25:56 | 0:25:59 | |
not rise, as they are now. | 0:25:59 | 0:26:05 | |
Now, it looks pretty revolting. | 0:26:05 | 0:26:09 | |
Just some of the ten million tonnes
of food we throw away each year. | 0:26:09 | 0:26:13 | |
And despite what it looks
like here, experts say much | 0:26:13 | 0:26:15 | |
of it is good enough to eat. | 0:26:15 | 0:26:17 | |
There is waste throughout
the food supply chain, | 0:26:17 | 0:26:19 | |
but it's thought that the biggest
problem lies with consumers - | 0:26:19 | 0:26:22 | |
that's us - and campaigners
are urging families to be much more | 0:26:22 | 0:26:25 | |
careful about what they throw away,
as Jeremy Cooke explains. | 0:26:25 | 0:26:33 | |
OK, it is past its sell-by date. | 0:26:33 | 0:26:35 | |
But this is, or was, food. | 0:26:35 | 0:26:36 | |
What's this? | 0:26:36 | 0:26:37 | |
Sushi. | 0:26:37 | 0:26:39 | |
Grown, produced,
processed, and discarded. | 0:26:39 | 0:26:42 | |
A super-sized serving
of stinking waste. | 0:26:42 | 0:26:47 | |
It's amazing how much food is thrown
out, and it's amazing how long it's | 0:26:47 | 0:26:51 | |
taken the message to get through. | 0:26:51 | 0:26:52 | |
If you don't have to
eat it, don't buy it. | 0:26:52 | 0:26:55 | |
The striking thing here
is the tonnes of food waste | 0:26:55 | 0:26:58 | |
that we all throw away all the time. | 0:26:58 | 0:27:00 | |
This stuff has come from bars
and restaurants and businesses | 0:27:00 | 0:27:04 | |
and there are mountains of it piling
up here every day. | 0:27:04 | 0:27:09 | |
Across the country,
we throw away 10 million | 0:27:09 | 0:27:11 | |
tonnes of food every year. | 0:27:11 | 0:27:15 | |
That's £17 billion worth in the bin. | 0:27:15 | 0:27:19 | |
And we're told 60%
of that is avoidable - | 0:27:19 | 0:27:22 | |
food that could have and should
have been eaten. | 0:27:22 | 0:27:25 | |
There is waste through
the entire supply chain. | 0:27:25 | 0:27:29 | |
From in the field,
in the manufacturing, | 0:27:29 | 0:27:31 | |
in the restaurant, in the retail,
in the supermarket, distribution, | 0:27:31 | 0:27:34 | |
and in the kitchen at home. | 0:27:34 | 0:27:37 | |
Overproduction is a fact
of the modern food industry. | 0:27:37 | 0:27:41 | |
Most of the surplus - good,
nutritious stuff - goes to waste. | 0:27:41 | 0:27:44 | |
But here there's another way. | 0:27:44 | 0:27:49 | |
All of this, if it wasn't
for Fareshare, would end | 0:27:49 | 0:27:51 | |
up going in the bin. | 0:27:51 | 0:27:53 | |
At the Fareshare charity,
they take the surplus and use | 0:27:53 | 0:27:55 | |
it to feed the hungry. | 0:27:55 | 0:27:58 | |
The thing that really drives us nuts
is it is going to waste | 0:27:58 | 0:28:01 | |
while there are people going hungry. | 0:28:01 | 0:28:03 | |
We feed at the moment half
a million people a week, | 0:28:03 | 0:28:06 | |
half a million people a week,
with this food. | 0:28:06 | 0:28:12 | |
We do that to 7000 front-line
charity and community groups. | 0:28:12 | 0:28:15 | |
Which is good news here
at the Melton Learning Hub, | 0:28:15 | 0:28:18 | |
where disadvantaged kids get
good, fresh food. | 0:28:18 | 0:28:23 | |
For our kids it means
they get hot meal. | 0:28:23 | 0:28:25 | |
They definitely get
a hot meal every day. | 0:28:25 | 0:28:29 | |
Lots of different circumstances
the young people come to us | 0:28:29 | 0:28:32 | |
in and it is a brilliant way
of using food that would, | 0:28:32 | 0:28:35 | |
as you say, go to waste. | 0:28:35 | 0:28:36 | |
But Luke and his mates know
that this is the exception. | 0:28:36 | 0:28:41 | |
Most surplus food is
simply thrown away. | 0:28:41 | 0:28:44 | |
This stuff, if it was like left
on the shelf, it would get put | 0:28:44 | 0:28:48 | |
into storage and get put
in landfills and that | 0:28:48 | 0:28:50 | |
and that's not good. | 0:28:50 | 0:28:51 | |
Tackling the issue will mean dumping
less food and doing more | 0:28:51 | 0:28:55 | |
with whatever goes in the bin. | 0:28:55 | 0:28:57 | |
Here it is used to make valuable
fertiliser to generate | 0:28:57 | 0:29:00 | |
gas and electricity. | 0:29:00 | 0:29:02 | |
But most of our discarded food
still goes to the incinerator | 0:29:02 | 0:29:04 | |
or to landfill - perhaps
the definition of waste | 0:29:04 | 0:29:06 | |
in a hungry world. | 0:29:06 | 0:29:09 | |

The four-time winners
of football's World Cup - Italy - | 0:29:14 | 0:29:17 | |
have been eliminated from the finals
next year in Russia. | 0:29:17 | 0:29:20 | |
The Italians could only draw nil-nil
in the second leg of their match | 0:29:20 | 0:29:23 | |
against Sweden in Milan. | 0:29:23 | 0:29:25 | |
It's the first time Italy
has failed to qualify | 0:29:25 | 0:29:27 | |
for the World Cup finals since 1958. | 0:29:27 | 0:29:33 | |
The new stage adaptation
of the 1970s film Network - | 0:29:33 | 0:29:36 | |
a satire on television news's
obsession with ratings - | 0:29:36 | 0:29:38 | |
has had its world premiere
tonight in London. | 0:29:38 | 0:29:41 | |
Its star, Bryan Cranston,
from the cult television | 0:29:41 | 0:29:43 | |
series Breaking Bad -
has been speaking to our Arts | 0:29:43 | 0:29:46 | |
editor, Will Gompertz,
about his concerns about the impact | 0:29:46 | 0:29:49 | |
of social media on news and
the current climate in Hollywood. | 0:29:49 | 0:29:52 | |
They met at the National Theatre. | 0:29:52 | 0:29:54 | |
A very interesting perspective. | 0:29:54 | 0:29:57 | |
Because I've never sat out
here, looking that way. | 0:29:57 | 0:30:00 | |
OK. | 0:30:00 | 0:30:03 | |
It's quite an impressive
set, though, isn't it? | 0:30:03 | 0:30:10 | |
You were an overnight success,
you could argue, at fifty-ish. | 0:30:10 | 0:30:13 | |
Although they may look the same. | 0:30:13 | 0:30:14 | |
Bryan Cranston became
an international superstar | 0:30:14 | 0:30:15 | |
in the hit TV show Breaking Bad. | 0:30:15 | 0:30:18 | |
Playing Walter White,
a chemistry teacher who becomes | 0:30:18 | 0:30:21 | |
a drug-dealing criminal. | 0:30:21 | 0:30:26 | |
Breaking Bad was a phenomenal
experience for me. | 0:30:26 | 0:30:28 | |
It changed my life completely. | 0:30:28 | 0:30:34 | |
And here he is in another
life-changing role. | 0:30:34 | 0:30:36 | |
I'm as mad as hell and I'm not
going to take it any more! | 0:30:36 | 0:30:44 | |
In the National Theatre's stage
adaptation of the 1970s film | 0:30:44 | 0:30:47 | |
Network, in which his character
loses it on air and becomes | 0:30:47 | 0:30:50 | |
a ratings sensation. | 0:30:50 | 0:30:53 | |
In the '70s it was clearly a satire. | 0:30:53 | 0:30:56 | |
Network in 2017 is no
longer a satire. | 0:30:56 | 0:31:02 | |
It is profound and it is
what we are living in. | 0:31:02 | 0:31:08 | |
This inundation of information
is not necessarily a good thing. | 0:31:08 | 0:31:16 | |
That our children can
access not only horrific | 0:31:16 | 0:31:25 | |
acts of real violence
on their cellphone, but pornography. | 0:31:25 | 0:31:28 | |
Anything and everything
is accessible now. | 0:31:28 | 0:31:32 | |
It's not good for society. | 0:31:32 | 0:31:35 | |
It's starting to feel
like a dark age in Hollywood. | 0:31:35 | 0:31:41 | |
Is there a way back
for the Weinsteins and | 0:31:41 | 0:31:43 | |
Spaceys of this world?
If they were to show us | 0:31:43 | 0:31:46 | |
that they put the work
in and are truly sorry, | 0:31:46 | 0:31:49 | |
and making amends, and not
defending their actions, | 0:31:49 | 0:31:53 | |
but asking for forgiveness,
then maybe down the road | 0:31:53 | 0:31:55 | |
there is room for that. | 0:31:55 | 0:32:03 | |
Character transformation is becoming
a theme of Bryan Cranston's | 0:32:03 | 0:32:05 | |
late career as a star
of stage and screen. | 0:32:05 | 0:32:10 | |
From crystal-meth-cooking teachers
to mad-as-hell newscasters. | 0:32:10 | 0:32:11 | |

Newsnight is coming up on BBC Two. | 0:32:13 | 0:32:15 | |
Here's Evan Davis. | 0:32:15 | 0:32:20 | |
On August 30th this year,
a massacre occurred in a village | 0:32:20 | 0:32:23 | |
called Tula Toli, in Mynamar. | 0:32:23 | 0:32:25 | |
Our team has been piecing together
what happened that day. | 0:32:25 | 0:32:28 | |
The testimony they've acquired
makes a disturbing film, | 0:32:28 | 0:32:30 |
