0:00:05 > 0:00:06Tonight at Ten:
0:00:06 > 0:00:09President Trump outlines a new security strategy -
0:00:09 > 0:00:12focusing on economic stability - identifying those countries
0:00:12 > 0:00:14challenging America's wealth.
0:00:14 > 0:00:17The President said the world had returned to an era of competition
0:00:17 > 0:00:18between the great powers.
0:00:18 > 0:00:23And he singled out China and Russia as competitors,
0:00:23 > 0:00:26challenging America's influence and wealth.
0:00:26 > 0:00:28We will stand up for ourselves and we will stand up
0:00:28 > 0:00:37for our country like we have never stood up before.
0:00:37 > 0:00:39We'll have the details and reaction to the President's
0:00:39 > 0:00:40speech in Washington.
0:00:40 > 0:00:42Also tonight:
0:00:42 > 0:00:45An inquiry into the murder of a refugee in Bristol four years ago.
0:00:45 > 0:00:51Police and the City Council are accused of 'institutional racism'.
0:00:51 > 0:00:55In South Africa: The Deputy President, Cyril Ramaphosa,
0:00:55 > 0:00:58is elected leader of the ruling party, the ANC, and promises
0:00:58 > 0:01:00to fight corruption.
0:01:00 > 0:01:04In the US, a high-speed passenger train has de-railed.
0:01:04 > 0:01:07Some passengers died, dozens of others were injured.
0:01:07 > 0:01:09And: In an ever-ageing world, we visit California,
0:01:09 > 0:01:11to see how they're embracing the challenge of active
0:01:11 > 0:01:15life in old age.
0:01:15 > 0:01:18And coming up on Sportsday on BBC News, we'll bring you highlights
0:01:18 > 0:01:20of tonight's only Premier League game - Everton against
0:01:20 > 0:01:30bottom side Swansea.
0:01:45 > 0:01:47Good evening.
0:01:47 > 0:01:49President Trump has outlined a new National Security Strategy -
0:01:49 > 0:01:53focusing on economic stability - identifying Russia and China
0:01:53 > 0:02:03as competitors, bent on challenging America's influence and wealth.
0:02:12 > 0:02:13He said Washington had 'no choice'
0:02:13 > 0:02:16but to deal with the challenge posed by North Korea's weapons programme.
0:02:16 > 0:02:19But he broke with tradition by not mentioning the threat posed
0:02:19 > 0:02:21to the US by climate change, as our North America editor,
0:02:21 > 0:02:24Jon Sopel, reports.
0:02:24 > 0:02:27For two years now, Donald Trump has talked incessantly about America
0:02:27 > 0:02:32First. Today, in unveiling his national-security strategy, he gave
0:02:32 > 0:02:36a slogan, flesh and bones. What he was keen to do was stress what a
0:02:36 > 0:02:40break with the recent past his election represented. He was the
0:02:40 > 0:02:45change make-up.With the strategy I am announcing today, we are
0:02:45 > 0:02:50declaring that America is in the game and America is going to win.
0:02:50 > 0:02:55But to seize the opportunities of the future, we must first understand
0:02:55 > 0:03:01the failures of the past. Our leaders engaged in nation-building
0:03:01 > 0:03:10abroad while they failed to build up and replenish our nation at home.
0:03:10 > 0:03:16The document says that Russia and China wants to shape a world
0:03:16 > 0:03:20antithetical to US values and interests, in line with the
0:03:20 > 0:03:23intelligence agencies unanimous view of the threat posed by Moscow with
0:03:23 > 0:03:27their interference in last year's election. But the President is
0:03:27 > 0:03:32notably did not phrases like that in his speech.We also face rival
0:03:32 > 0:03:36powers, Russia and China, that looked a challenge American
0:03:36 > 0:03:41influence, values and well. We will attempt to build a great partnership
0:03:41 > 0:03:46with those and other countries, but in a manner that always protects our
0:03:46 > 0:03:54national interest. But while we see such opportunities of cooperation,
0:03:54 > 0:03:58we will stand up for ourselves and we will stand up for our country
0:03:58 > 0:04:08like we have never stood up before. He rounded on Kim Jong-un's North
0:04:08 > 0:04:12Korea, a problem he promised would be dealt with. No countries were
0:04:12 > 0:04:16mentioned individually but he mentioned Pakistan for criticism and
0:04:16 > 0:04:20its stance against terrorism. And new in this definition of national
0:04:20 > 0:04:24security was an emphasis on the importance of security -- the
0:04:24 > 0:04:30economy and fair trade, central themes of Trump the campaign.For
0:04:30 > 0:04:34the first time, American strategy recognises that economic security is
0:04:34 > 0:04:40national security. GDP growth, which is way ahead of schedule and my
0:04:40 > 0:04:45Administration, will be one of America's truly greatest weapons.
0:04:45 > 0:04:50But the speech had nothing to say about climate change, something that
0:04:50 > 0:04:54Barack Obama had deemed a threat to national security. America has in
0:04:54 > 0:04:57the past six months experienced the worst hurricane season in decades,
0:04:57 > 0:05:04with terrible flooding in Texas and Puerto Rico. And is now experiencing
0:05:04 > 0:05:07the most widespread Bristol buyers in Californian history that some see
0:05:07 > 0:05:13as evidence of a changing climate. -- forest fires. It criticises the
0:05:13 > 0:05:18owner is regulation of things like the Paris climate change deal which
0:05:18 > 0:05:23this President has withdrawn the US from. Donald Trump won over this
0:05:23 > 0:05:26audience and supporters will like what they heard. But the rest of the
0:05:26 > 0:05:30world will want to study closely what he said and what he does.
0:05:30 > 0:05:34Let's speak to Jon, in Washington.
0:05:34 > 0:05:38What is your reading of how much of this speech constituted genuinely
0:05:38 > 0:05:43new thinking? Well, I think what we have got in
0:05:43 > 0:05:47this speech and in the document is a sort of distillation of some of the
0:05:47 > 0:05:50themes we have heard Donald Trump speak about repeatedly on the
0:05:50 > 0:05:55campaign trail and even in his tweet and other opportunities he has had
0:05:55 > 0:06:01to speak. I am sure if desk, there are areas of continuity which you
0:06:01 > 0:06:05might find is rising. -- you go through this. Donald Trump was
0:06:05 > 0:06:10stressing the change his new approach would bring. The speech was
0:06:10 > 0:06:13much more geared for Trump supporters in the US he would have
0:06:13 > 0:06:17liked what they heard and the characteristic tough language Donald
0:06:17 > 0:06:21Trump deploys on these occasions. But the diplomats were poorer over
0:06:21 > 0:06:26this and think, maybe some of the differences are not as great as he
0:06:26 > 0:06:30would have you believe. At the end, it you will have diplomats around
0:06:30 > 0:06:35the world studying this closely. But does it mean they can give up
0:06:35 > 0:06:41looking at Donald Trump's messages on a daily basis?Absolutely not.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44Many thanks once again, from the White House.
0:06:44 > 0:06:46A highly-critical report, into the circumstances surrounding
0:06:46 > 0:06:49the murder of an Iranian refugee in Bristol four years ago, has
0:06:49 > 0:06:52concluded that Bristol City Council and Avon & Somerset Police showed
0:06:52 > 0:06:56"institutional racism" in their handling of the case.
0:06:56 > 0:06:59Bijan Ebrahimi was beaten to death by a neighbour,
0:06:59 > 0:07:05after he was falsely accused of being a paedophile.
0:07:05 > 0:07:07Mr Ebrahimi had made repeated complaints to police,
0:07:07 > 0:07:09but an official report has accused the authorities of "repeatedly
0:07:09 > 0:07:10siding with his abusers".
0:07:10 > 0:07:16Our correspondent, Jon Kay, has the story.
0:07:16 > 0:07:19He came to Britain for safety, but Bijan Ebrahimi was brutally
0:07:19 > 0:07:22beaten to death and his body set on fire.
0:07:22 > 0:07:25Don't you dare take pictures of me, all right?!
0:07:25 > 0:07:27This is the neighbour who killed him, Lee James,
0:07:27 > 0:07:37now serving life for murder.
0:07:39 > 0:07:41But this was not the first attack.
0:07:41 > 0:07:43Today's report says time and time again -
0:07:43 > 0:07:45at different addresses, over several years -
0:07:45 > 0:07:47Bijan alleged he'd been abused and attacked by a number
0:07:47 > 0:07:49of different people.
0:07:49 > 0:07:53But this report says he was treated as a nuisance
0:07:53 > 0:07:55by the authorities in Bristol, with police and council staff often
0:07:55 > 0:08:01siding with his alleged abusers, rather than helping him.
0:08:01 > 0:08:04Absolutely shocking and disgusting.
0:08:04 > 0:08:07Now Bijan's sisters have been told there was a collective failure
0:08:07 > 0:08:10by Avon & Somerset Police and Bristol City Council, which
0:08:10 > 0:08:13amounted to 'institutional racism' - a phrase used nearly 20 years ago,
0:08:13 > 0:08:19in the Stephen Lawrence inquiry.
0:08:19 > 0:08:23These are not the words that we should hear
0:08:23 > 0:08:25in this day and age.
0:08:25 > 0:08:28You don't want to see, you don't want to hear
0:08:28 > 0:08:29any more about it.
0:08:29 > 0:08:31It's been dealt with so many times before.
0:08:31 > 0:08:33And seeing this happening again is truly shocking.
0:08:33 > 0:08:36We are very angry, as my sister said, and it's very shocking
0:08:36 > 0:08:39and upsetting as a family.
0:08:39 > 0:08:42Today's report says no individual members of staff
0:08:42 > 0:08:45here at Bristol City Council, or at Avon & Somerset Police,
0:08:45 > 0:08:47were intentionally racist themselves, but it says both
0:08:47 > 0:08:53organisations had an ingrained view of Bijan Ebrahimi which affected
0:08:53 > 0:08:57the way they treated him, and that he didn't get the support
0:08:57 > 0:09:01or the level of service that he should have received.
0:09:01 > 0:09:04The report says as an Iranian man, Bijan was put at a disadvantage,
0:09:04 > 0:09:09because the way the authorities dealt with him was discriminatory.
0:09:09 > 0:09:17That's why, it concludes, there was 'institutional racism'.
0:09:17 > 0:09:21It is a word that Israeli used and a finding that is rarely found because
0:09:21 > 0:09:25one would hope that institutional racism is not a common problem. But
0:09:25 > 0:09:29the family's concern is that it is much more common than it is found.
0:09:29 > 0:09:32Last year, two members of police staff were jailed for misconduct.
0:09:32 > 0:09:34The force apologised to the Ebrahimi family then and,
0:09:34 > 0:09:36along with the City Council, has now accepted
0:09:36 > 0:09:38today's report in full.
0:09:38 > 0:09:42They say lessons have been learned.
0:09:42 > 0:09:45Bijan's death won't be in vain, and that it will be the basis
0:09:45 > 0:09:48of this authority, and I'm sure many institutions around the city,
0:09:48 > 0:09:52having a look at what they do and the way they do it.
0:09:52 > 0:09:56Nearly five years after he was killed here, Bijan Ebrahimi's family
0:09:56 > 0:09:58say his voice has now finally been heard.
0:09:58 > 0:10:04Jon Kay, BBC News, Bristol.
0:10:04 > 0:10:07The governing party in South Africa, the ANC, has elected a new leader.
0:10:07 > 0:10:10Cyril Ramaphosa will take over the leadership
0:10:10 > 0:10:12from President Zuma, who's facing allegations
0:10:12 > 0:10:15of corruption.
0:10:15 > 0:10:17The election of Mr Ramaphosa, a wealthy businessman
0:10:17 > 0:10:20and former trade-union leader, comes at a significant time
0:10:20 > 0:10:23for the ANC, which is facing a decline in popularity -
0:10:23 > 0:10:28as our Africa editor, Fergal Keane, reports.
0:10:28 > 0:10:31SINGING
0:10:31 > 0:10:38A profound shift has taken place in the politics of this nation.
0:10:38 > 0:10:42As they waited this afternoon, as Cyril Ramaphosa and his opponent,
0:10:42 > 0:10:50Dr Dlamini-Zuma, waited, there were rumours he was ahead.
0:10:50 > 0:10:52The traditional healer was blessing his opponent.
0:10:52 > 0:10:55It was in vain.
0:10:55 > 0:10:57We declare Comrade Cyril Ramaphosa as the new President
0:10:57 > 0:11:07of the African National Congress.
0:11:12 > 0:11:17A 179-vote margin enough.
0:11:17 > 0:11:18The moment Cyril Ramaphosa became President of
0:11:18 > 0:11:20the African National Congress.
0:11:20 > 0:11:22He promised to clean out corruption in the party,
0:11:22 > 0:11:24because this was never just an ordinary election,
0:11:24 > 0:11:31it was a struggle for the soul of the ANC.
0:11:31 > 0:11:36He was swept to the stage. And with the joy of supporters who believed
0:11:36 > 0:11:40Cyril Ramaphosa will return the ANC to the moral vision of Nelson
0:11:40 > 0:11:49Mandela. Hallelujah, she called out. It was echoed around the hall.How
0:11:49 > 0:12:04do you feel? Great! A change. Africa!How are you?I am very
0:12:04 > 0:12:15happy!President Jacob Zuma must be worried, but he managed smiles.
0:12:15 > 0:12:24Several of his old allies also won senior positions. The new Deputy
0:12:24 > 0:12:28President has been accused of and denies political corruption and
0:12:28 > 0:12:33murder. Embraced by Cyril Ramaphosa, but how keen will he be to wage war
0:12:33 > 0:12:37on corruption? In three decades of serving Cyril Ramaphosa, it is his
0:12:37 > 0:12:41tactical skill which has seemed the greatest strength. As a union leader
0:12:41 > 0:12:47fighting for rights under apartheid. As the ANC's key negotiator bringing
0:12:47 > 0:12:53about the end of white rule.We are prepared to meet President is de
0:12:53 > 0:12:58Klerk at a fairly high level.And in Northern Ireland, where he helped to
0:12:58 > 0:13:02oversee the decommissioning of IRA weapons. This old friend from the
0:13:02 > 0:13:08struggle days says people are impatient for change.Politicians
0:13:08 > 0:13:10sometimes tends to ride roughshod over people. Take people for
0:13:10 > 0:13:18granted. And hope that they will get away with it. I don't think that the
0:13:18 > 0:13:22current leadership will get away with this. It might be painful in
0:13:22 > 0:13:26the beginning, but in the medium to long term, I think the people will
0:13:26 > 0:13:31prevail.In the next few days, Cyril Ramaphosa will outline his vision
0:13:31 > 0:13:34for a party and country. It will take all his political skills to see
0:13:34 > 0:13:37it through.
0:13:37 > 0:13:40A brief look at some of the day's other news stories:
0:13:40 > 0:13:43Police in Suffolk have arrested a man, after a car was driven
0:13:43 > 0:13:47into the gates of a military base used by the US Air Force.
0:13:47 > 0:13:49Shots were fired by American personnel during the incident
0:13:49 > 0:13:51at RAF Mildenhall.
0:13:51 > 0:13:54The suspect, who's 44, suffered cuts and bruises.
0:13:54 > 0:13:58Police say the incident wasn't terror-related.
0:13:58 > 0:14:01Police in Lebanon have arrested an Uber driver in connection
0:14:01 > 0:14:06with the murder of a British embassy worker in Beirut.
0:14:06 > 0:14:09The body of Rebecca Dykes was found by a motorway on Saturday.
0:14:09 > 0:14:11Officers say she had been strangled and sexually assaulted.
0:14:11 > 0:14:18Her family say they've been devastated by her death.
0:14:18 > 0:14:21The Right Reverend Sarah Mullally has been named the new Bishop
0:14:21 > 0:14:23of London, making her the most senior clergywoman in the history
0:14:23 > 0:14:25of the Church of England.
0:14:25 > 0:14:27She became a priest in 2001, after spending over 35 years working
0:14:27 > 0:14:32as a senior nurse for the NHS.
0:14:32 > 0:14:35Bishop Sarah will be the third woman to run a diocese and will take up
0:14:35 > 0:14:38a seat in the House of Lords.
0:14:38 > 0:14:41Two people have been killed in a fire at a luxury hotel
0:14:41 > 0:14:42on the banks of Loch Lomond.
0:14:42 > 0:14:45Police say the Cameron House Hotel has been extensively damaged.
0:14:45 > 0:14:47Around 200 guests were led from the hotel after the alarm
0:14:47 > 0:14:53was raised early this morning.
0:14:53 > 0:14:55In the US, a high-speed passenger train has de-railed
0:14:55 > 0:14:57in the state of Washington, killing several passengers.
0:14:57 > 0:15:01Carriages fell from the tracks onto a busy highway below.
0:15:01 > 0:15:09Some 80 people have been taken to hospital.
0:15:09 > 0:15:16Our correspondent, James Cook, reports from Los Angeles.
0:15:16 > 0:15:20Emergency, emergency. We are on the ground.
0:15:20 > 0:15:28The engineer calling for help on the radio on Amtrak train 501 has
0:15:28 > 0:15:31survived a deadly crash.What happened?We were coming round the
0:15:31 > 0:15:36corner, to take the bridge. We went on the ground.Is everybody OK?I'm
0:15:36 > 0:15:40still figuring that out. We've got cars everywhere and down onto the
0:15:40 > 0:15:45highway. ?Other survivors spoke of a rocking and creeking noise as the
0:15:45 > 0:15:49train took the curve at speed, followed by turmoil.I grabbed onto
0:15:49 > 0:15:53the train in front of me for dear life. My laptop and phone went
0:15:53 > 0:15:57flying. People were screaming. It was crazy.Some passengers were
0:15:57 > 0:16:01asleep. Others were sipping coffee, when the train careered off the
0:16:01 > 0:16:09track onto the rush hour traffic on the I5 below.Mull pull cars and
0:16:09 > 0:16:12trucks were struck by train cars that went onto the road. The people
0:16:12 > 0:16:16in the vehicles, even though when you see the pictures, it's pretty
0:16:16 > 0:16:21horrific, at this point nobody in any of the vehicles is a fatal.
0:16:21 > 0:16:25The express was taking a faster route from Seattle to Portland for
0:16:25 > 0:16:29the first time. Safety concerns were still being raised as recently as
0:16:29 > 0:16:33two weeks ago. People who live nearby are now demanding answers.
0:16:33 > 0:16:38Well I'm just wondering if they did any dry runs on this before the
0:16:38 > 0:16:42passengers aboard? That's my only concern. But yeah, it's a terrible
0:16:42 > 0:16:47thing.This is the latest in a series of deadly rail accidents in
0:16:47 > 0:16:51the United States. President Trump's initial response has been to use the
0:16:51 > 0:16:56crash to push his plan to improve American infrastructure, but it's
0:16:56 > 0:17:03far too early to say what actually caused this tragedy
0:17:03 > 0:17:06Inmates at Liverpool Prison are being kept in the worst living
0:17:06 > 0:17:08conditions inspectors have ever seen, according to a leaked
0:17:08 > 0:17:10report seen by the BBC.
0:17:10 > 0:17:13Prison inspectors found rats, cockroaches, and exposed electrical
0:17:13 > 0:17:17wiring, when they made an unannounced visit to the prison.
0:17:17 > 0:17:20A lack of leadership - at all levels, including
0:17:20 > 0:17:23central government - was identified as the prime
0:17:23 > 0:17:25cause of the problems.
0:17:25 > 0:17:28Our social affairs correspondent, Michael Buchanan, reports.
0:17:28 > 0:17:31Behind the walls of Liverpool Prison, more than 1100 men live
0:17:31 > 0:17:34in squalid conditions.
0:17:34 > 0:17:36Rats and cockroaches are rife.
0:17:36 > 0:17:40Pools of urine seep from broken toilets.
0:17:40 > 0:17:44If you put a dog in a place like this, people would come
0:17:44 > 0:17:50and take you away and lock you up for cruelty to animals.
0:17:50 > 0:17:53Darren Hurley spent just over two years in the prison
0:17:53 > 0:17:55after being convicted of drugs offences.
0:17:55 > 0:17:58Released in the summer, he told me what life
0:17:58 > 0:17:59on the inside was like.
0:17:59 > 0:18:02Cockroaches, rats.
0:18:02 > 0:18:05Rubbish just getting left inside the buildings,
0:18:05 > 0:18:07instead of being put out at the end of the evening.
0:18:07 > 0:18:08Does it smell?
0:18:08 > 0:18:09Oh, yeah, it smells terrible.
0:18:09 > 0:18:11Basically, like living in a tip.
0:18:11 > 0:18:14The report we've seen followed an unannounced
0:18:14 > 0:18:16inspection in September.
0:18:16 > 0:18:20The inspectors wrote they could not recall having seen
0:18:20 > 0:18:23worse living conditions, with a backlog of more
0:18:23 > 0:18:25than 2,000 maintenance jobs.
0:18:25 > 0:18:27Inmates were locked up more than 22 hours a day,
0:18:27 > 0:18:31drugs were easy to get, and violence and self-harm
0:18:31 > 0:18:33were on the rise.
0:18:33 > 0:18:37I think it's as bad a report as I've ever seen.
0:18:37 > 0:18:39This former Chief Inspector of Prisons is exasperated
0:18:39 > 0:18:41by the failings.
0:18:41 > 0:18:46I ask the head of the Prison Service, how on earth do it he allow
0:18:46 > 0:18:49the prison to get into that state?
0:18:49 > 0:18:53Because the management was clearly incompetent in the prison itself.
0:18:53 > 0:18:57And how could anyone come up from headquarters and go
0:18:57 > 0:19:00into Liverpool and see that and not feel ashamed and do
0:19:00 > 0:19:04something about it?
0:19:04 > 0:19:06Somebody I showed this report to said to me this
0:19:06 > 0:19:08is England's worst jail.
0:19:08 > 0:19:11I wouldn't dispute that.
0:19:11 > 0:19:14The inspectors agree, blaming the failure at Liverpool not
0:19:14 > 0:19:17just on the governor, but on senior officials
0:19:17 > 0:19:19at the Ministry of Justice.
0:19:19 > 0:19:22Local prison managers had sought help, says the report,
0:19:22 > 0:19:25but their requests had been met with little response.
0:19:25 > 0:19:27Perhaps most damningly, the inspectors write,
0:19:27 > 0:19:32"We could see no credible plan to address these basic issues."
0:19:32 > 0:19:34This serving Liverpool prison officer says the Ministry
0:19:34 > 0:19:37of Justice are responsible.
0:19:37 > 0:19:39It's not the fault of the staff.
0:19:39 > 0:19:41It's not the fault of the management.
0:19:41 > 0:19:43This is firmly with the MOJ and the Government.
0:19:43 > 0:19:48Start investing in our prisons and give us the resources to do our job.
0:19:48 > 0:19:50The Ministry of Justice said they wouldn't comment
0:19:50 > 0:19:52on leaked documents, though they did appoint
0:19:52 > 0:19:55a new governor recently.
0:19:55 > 0:19:58But former prisoners we have spoken to, released in recent weeks,
0:19:58 > 0:20:03say the conditions inside remained dire - a Victorian era jail
0:20:03 > 0:20:08providing Victorian living conditions in modern Britain.
0:20:08 > 0:20:11Michael Buchanan, BBC News, Liverpool.
0:20:11 > 0:20:15The Prime Minister has told the House of Commons that "there can
0:20:15 > 0:20:19never be a place for the threats of violence and intimidation
0:20:19 > 0:20:20against MPs".
0:20:20 > 0:20:23She made the comments after it emerged that some MPs have received
0:20:23 > 0:20:25dozens of abusive e-mails and messages because
0:20:25 > 0:20:28of their views on Brexit.
0:20:28 > 0:20:32Our political correspondent, Vicki Young, has more details.
0:20:32 > 0:20:34These are just some of the abusive messages received by this
0:20:34 > 0:20:37Conservative MP in recent weeks.
0:20:37 > 0:20:40E-mails and tweets full of personal abuse, accusing her and colleagues
0:20:40 > 0:20:43of treason for voting against the Government
0:20:43 > 0:20:47in a Brexit vote, even saying "they should be hanged".
0:20:47 > 0:20:50Anna Soubry and others have reported it to the police.
0:20:50 > 0:20:53This is something new.
0:20:53 > 0:20:55We have not seen anything like this in the past.
0:20:55 > 0:20:59It's all about saying to people like me, "You will not vote
0:20:59 > 0:21:02in the way that you have voted and if you do, I will
0:21:02 > 0:21:05threaten to hang you.
0:21:05 > 0:21:08And if you do, I'm going to threaten that you should be deselected."
0:21:08 > 0:21:12It's disgraceful behaviour and it needs to stop.
0:21:12 > 0:21:16Today the Prime Minister said these kind of attacks
0:21:16 > 0:21:19on MPs were unacceptable.
0:21:19 > 0:21:22There are many strongly held views on all sides of this chamber.
0:21:22 > 0:21:25And it is right and proper that we should debate them and do
0:21:25 > 0:21:27so with all the passion and conviction that makes our
0:21:27 > 0:21:31democracy what it is.
0:21:31 > 0:21:34But there can never be a place for the threats of violence
0:21:34 > 0:21:37and intimidation against some members that we have
0:21:37 > 0:21:40seen in recent days.
0:21:40 > 0:21:43Our politics must be better than that.
0:21:43 > 0:21:46A number of Conservatives have featured prominently on newspaper
0:21:46 > 0:21:49front pages for voicing concern over Brexit.
0:21:49 > 0:21:52Some MPs say there's a direct link between this kind
0:21:52 > 0:21:55of coverage and online abuse.
0:21:55 > 0:21:57What we've got here is a toxic triangle: The divisiveness
0:21:57 > 0:22:00of the Brexit issue, the Telegraph and the Mail
0:22:00 > 0:22:03identifying certain honourable members as targets and framing
0:22:03 > 0:22:07the attack on them, and then, facilitated by social
0:22:07 > 0:22:10media, the mob following.
0:22:10 > 0:22:14Making death threats or other threats of violence against people
0:22:14 > 0:22:18on grounds of their views is, whether the authors know it
0:22:18 > 0:22:28or not, a kind of fascism.
0:22:29 > 0:22:31Research has suggested Diane Abbott was the victim of almost half
0:22:31 > 0:22:34the abuse directed at female MPs on Twitter during the last
0:22:34 > 0:22:37election campaign.
0:22:37 > 0:22:40Nobody who has ever sat at home and seen literally
0:22:40 > 0:22:43hundreds of abusive tweets flood their timeline can
0:22:43 > 0:22:52underestimate the psychological pressure it puts on us all.
0:22:52 > 0:22:54Tonight the Daily Mail said it supported the Government
0:22:54 > 0:22:57in its efforts to tackle abuse on social media, but it said it
0:22:57 > 0:23:00shouldn't be used as an excuse to prevent proper debate.
0:23:00 > 0:23:03Some MPs, though, are genuinely concerned that the threats that
0:23:03 > 0:23:08are made against them could ultimately put people off
0:23:08 > 0:23:11entering public life.
0:23:11 > 0:23:15Vicki Young, BBC News, Westminster.
0:23:15 > 0:23:18A senior European Union official has warned that the future of the border
0:23:18 > 0:23:20between Northern Ireland and the Republic presents
0:23:20 > 0:23:24a contradiction at the heart of the UK's approach to a new trade
0:23:24 > 0:23:26deal with the EU.
0:23:26 > 0:23:29That's the view of Pierre Moscovici, the European Commissioner
0:23:29 > 0:23:32for Economic and Financial Affairs, who said the UK's intention to keep
0:23:32 > 0:23:35an open border could be incompatible with leaving the EU Customs Union.
0:23:35 > 0:23:39But Theresa May insisted today that Britain could secure what she called
0:23:39 > 0:23:43a "bespoke trading relationship", as our economics editor,
0:23:43 > 0:23:53Kamal Ahmed, reports.
0:23:54 > 0:23:56Just 310 miles long, the border between Northern Ireland
0:23:56 > 0:23:59and the UK and the Republic in the EU and the place
0:23:59 > 0:24:02where the complexity of the negotiations on any new trade
0:24:02 > 0:24:05deal becomes clear.
0:24:05 > 0:24:07If Britain and the EU have no agreement on goods,
0:24:07 > 0:24:10like milk and fuel, flowing freely across this border, then how's it
0:24:10 > 0:24:16to be kept open, as all sides want.
0:24:16 > 0:24:18Today a warning on this Irish problem -
0:24:18 > 0:24:22if there is no customs agreement, then are border controls necessary?
0:24:22 > 0:24:25How can you have no border, no hard border, and not having,
0:24:25 > 0:24:28at the same time, internal market and customs union, because goods can
0:24:28 > 0:24:32come through that border.
0:24:32 > 0:24:34It's hard to imagine that there is no hard border,
0:24:34 > 0:24:39at the same time, no internal market and no customs union.
0:24:39 > 0:24:40There would be a contradiction there.
0:24:40 > 0:24:44THE SPEAKER:The Prime Minister.
0:24:44 > 0:24:47The challenge for Theresa May: She wants to leave the customs
0:24:47 > 0:24:49union, which allows free movement of goods across the EU.
0:24:49 > 0:24:57Can that circle be squared?
0:24:57 > 0:25:00We believe we can actually deliver on that no hard border between
0:25:00 > 0:25:02Northern Ireland and Ireland through the overall relationship
0:25:02 > 0:25:04that we negotiate between the UK and the European Union.
0:25:04 > 0:25:07Failing that, we will look at specific solutions that match
0:25:07 > 0:25:09the unique circumstances of Northern Ireland.
0:25:09 > 0:25:11And just because matters are complicated, it doesn't mean
0:25:11 > 0:25:13they are impossible.
0:25:13 > 0:25:16We have done what many said what could not be done,
0:25:16 > 0:25:18demonstrating what can be achieved with persistence and
0:25:18 > 0:25:22perseverance on both sides.
0:25:22 > 0:25:24And I will not be derailed from delivering the democratic
0:25:24 > 0:25:26will of the British people.
0:25:26 > 0:25:28THE SPEAKER:Jeremy Corbyn.
0:25:28 > 0:25:30Her opponents are not so sure.
0:25:30 > 0:25:34We welcome progress to the second phase of negotiations,
0:25:34 > 0:25:40but that should not hide the fact that this agreement comes two
0:25:40 > 0:25:43months later than planned, and many of the key aspects of phase
0:25:43 > 0:25:49one are still unclear.
0:25:49 > 0:25:55Can Britain get what it wants, which is a bespoke deal,
0:25:55 > 0:25:57Canada, plus, plus, plus we have spoken about?
0:25:57 > 0:26:00Is that possible?
0:26:00 > 0:26:03There cannot be a cherry-picking and at one moment the UK will have
0:26:03 > 0:26:06to choose its own model of relationship with the EU.
0:26:06 > 0:26:10Some speak about Norway, which is a part of the internal market.
0:26:10 > 0:26:13Others about Canada.
0:26:13 > 0:26:18Well, there is a long way between Norway and Canada.
0:26:18 > 0:26:28310 miles long and one of the many knotty problems
0:26:28 > 0:26:31310 miles long and one of the many knotty problems as Britain
0:26:31 > 0:26:33and the EU inch their way towards a new relationship.
0:26:33 > 0:26:34Kamal Ahmed, BBC News.
0:26:34 > 0:26:36Australia's cricketers have been celebrating
0:26:36 > 0:26:37after regaining the Ashes.
0:26:37 > 0:26:40England were bowled out for 218 in the Third Test in Perth,
0:26:40 > 0:26:41giving the Australians an unassailable 3-0
0:26:41 > 0:26:42lead in the series.
0:26:42 > 0:26:44As Andy Swiss reports, the result raises some serious
0:26:44 > 0:26:49questions for the England camp.
0:26:49 > 0:26:52It had been coming for a while but for Australia still just
0:26:52 > 0:26:55as sweet, for England just as painful.
0:26:55 > 0:27:00Joe Root's side had begun the day with an unlikely lifeline.
0:27:00 > 0:27:03Overnight rain had leaked onto the pitch, an army of leaf
0:27:03 > 0:27:04blowers were deployed.
0:27:04 > 0:27:07It caused a three-hour delay.
0:27:07 > 0:27:09Australia soon made up for lost time.
0:27:09 > 0:27:13Jonny Bairstow clean bowled by one that barely bounced.
0:27:13 > 0:27:16Dawid Malan, one of England's few successes here, breifly gave
0:27:16 > 0:27:19them hope with a gritty 50.
0:27:19 > 0:27:23When his resistance ended, England's last hopes left with him.
0:27:23 > 0:27:24When Chris Woakes was caught behind, Australia's
0:27:24 > 0:27:27victory party could begin.
0:27:27 > 0:27:29England once again whacked at the WACA, once again faced
0:27:29 > 0:27:33with Ashes failure.
0:27:33 > 0:27:36It's bitterly disappointing.
0:27:36 > 0:27:38One of the most frustrating things is we haven't been blown away.
0:27:38 > 0:27:43We've not been completely outplayed.
0:27:43 > 0:27:46We've put up some really good performances,
0:27:46 > 0:27:48just for not long enough, simple as that really.
0:27:48 > 0:27:51Well, once again, the scoreboard in Perth makes sorry reading
0:27:51 > 0:27:54for English cricket.
0:27:54 > 0:27:58To lose the Ashes after just three matches will be a crushing
0:27:58 > 0:28:01disappointment, but this is a team that's had problems both
0:28:01 > 0:28:04on and off the pitch.
0:28:04 > 0:28:07Their star player Ben Stokes didn't even travel here, after an incident
0:28:07 > 0:28:09outside a nightclub.
0:28:09 > 0:28:12Other big names like Stuart Broad and Alistair Cooke have struggled.
0:28:12 > 0:28:14England were the underdogs here.
0:28:14 > 0:28:16As it turned out, with good reason.
0:28:16 > 0:28:19I've not been surprised with what I have seen.
0:28:19 > 0:28:22If you look at the England tool box that you arrive
0:28:22 > 0:28:24in Austalia to play with, for me,
0:28:24 > 0:28:26they were missing a spanner, screwdriver.
0:28:26 > 0:28:29They didn't have anyone with real pace.
0:28:29 > 0:28:31Not having their best player in Ben Stokes
0:28:31 > 0:28:33was always going to be a big issue.
0:28:33 > 0:28:36The challenge now for England is a grim one: to avoid
0:28:36 > 0:28:37the dreaded whitewash.
0:28:37 > 0:28:39But after being outbatted,
0:28:39 > 0:28:42outbowled and outclassed, it could be a long few weeks.
0:28:42 > 0:28:47Andy Swiss, BBC News, Perth.
0:28:47 > 0:28:50We live in an ageing society, and the latest
0:28:50 > 0:28:54figures from the Office for National Statistics underline
0:28:54 > 0:28:56the scale of the challenge ahead.
0:28:56 > 0:28:58One in eight people in the UK is projected
0:28:58 > 0:29:01to live to at least 100.
0:29:01 > 0:29:03That's around 8.5 million people.
0:29:03 > 0:29:05So how should we prepare for what's being called
0:29:05 > 0:29:07a new generation of super-agers.
0:29:07 > 0:29:10In the first of a series of reports, our medical correspondent,
0:29:10 > 0:29:12Fergus Walsh, has been to California to see how they're
0:29:12 > 0:29:16tackling the issue.
0:29:16 > 0:29:18On your marks...
0:29:18 > 0:29:21To me, I don't think about age as being a handicap.
0:29:21 > 0:29:23Set...
0:29:23 > 0:29:25It's just a process.
0:29:25 > 0:29:28Go.
0:29:28 > 0:29:30You live, you die - so why not live?
0:29:30 > 0:29:33Irene O'Bera is 84.
0:29:33 > 0:29:36She makes old age look like an irrelevance.
0:29:36 > 0:29:40Irene's been breaking world records for four decades.
0:29:40 > 0:29:43It takes effort.
0:29:43 > 0:29:45When she's not training at this
0:29:45 > 0:29:48track near San Francisco, she's in the gym.
0:29:48 > 0:29:51Her philosophy is simple.
0:29:51 > 0:29:53Live the life you love, and love the life you lead.
0:29:53 > 0:29:55And a quitter never wins, and a winner never quits.
0:29:55 > 0:29:58And I want to be a winner.
0:29:58 > 0:30:01We're living in an ageing world.
0:30:01 > 0:30:04By 2050, the number of people aged 65 and over is projected to triple
0:30:04 > 0:30:06globally to 1.5 billion.
0:30:06 > 0:30:10In the UK, the number of people aged 80 and over is projected to more
0:30:10 > 0:30:14than double to 7.5 million by 2050,
0:30:14 > 0:30:19and the number of centenarians to increase sixfold to 94,000.
0:30:19 > 0:30:25It's a whole-body movement...
0:30:25 > 0:30:30So what can we do to increase our chances of spending
0:30:30 > 0:30:35those extra years in good health, like Irene?
0:30:35 > 0:30:45Bien, quatre-vingt dix-neuf...
0:30:45 > 0:30:48It's not just about exercising the body, but also the mind.
0:30:48 > 0:30:51That's because keeping the brain active can lower the risk
0:30:51 > 0:30:57of developing dementia.
0:30:57 > 0:31:00Oui, oui - alors, elle a peut-etre exaggere, hein?
0:31:00 > 0:31:03I joined a French language class in Berkeley, across the bay
0:31:03 > 0:31:06from San Francisco, where all the students
0:31:06 > 0:31:08are in their 70s.
0:31:08 > 0:31:11My mother had Alzheimer's,
0:31:11 > 0:31:14so, I mean, there's part of me doesn't want that to happen to me.
0:31:14 > 0:31:17I do believe that, um, intellectual stimulation is important.
0:31:17 > 0:31:20And science may be able to help.
0:31:20 > 0:31:22In the hills above Silicon Valley sits the Buck Institute.
0:31:22 > 0:31:28Researchers there are working on how to delay the way our bodies age.
0:31:28 > 0:31:34This is our building...
0:31:34 > 0:31:37This could increase the healthy years of life,
0:31:37 > 0:31:40free of conditions like cancer, arthritis or heart disease.
0:31:40 > 0:31:44We predict that there will be drugs that will treat ageing, instead
0:31:44 > 0:31:47of each disease individually.
0:31:47 > 0:31:51People themselves would be able to look forward
0:31:51 > 0:31:55to the last decade of their life still being vibrant,
0:31:55 > 0:31:58engaged, healthy.
0:31:58 > 0:32:02Just like Irene, who challenged me to a friendly race.
0:32:02 > 0:32:05She can run 100m only seven seconds slower than Usain Bolt.
0:32:05 > 0:32:09So despite my 27-year advantage, the winner was never in doubt.
0:32:09 > 0:32:15That was fantastic!
0:32:15 > 0:32:19So I've just been beaten by an 84-year-old,
0:32:19 > 0:32:22but I've been beaten by a super-ager,
0:32:22 > 0:32:24and I think that's pretty inspiring.
