The Iranian President warns that
violence and vandalism | 0:00:07 | 0:00:09 | |
won't be tolerated -
after four days of demonstrations. | 0:00:09 | 0:00:11 | |
Hassan Rouhani appears
on television, to say people | 0:00:11 | 0:00:16 | |
have the right to protest -
but that his country's problems stem | 0:00:16 | 0:00:20 | |
from international sanctions. | 0:00:20 | 0:00:24 | |
Firefighters tackle a huge blaze
at Liverpool Arena - | 0:00:24 | 0:00:26 | |

Divers recover the bodies
of six people - four | 0:00:31 | 0:00:36 | |
believed to be British -
who died when a sightseeing plane | 0:00:36 | 0:00:39 | |
crashed in Australia. | 0:00:39 | 0:00:47 | |
Manchester City's 18 game-winning
run in the Premier League comes to | 0:00:47 | 0:00:54 | |
an end. | 0:00:54 | 0:00:57 | |
And New Year's celebrations get
underway around the globe, | 0:00:57 | 0:01:03 | |
as we prepare to welcome in 2018. | 0:01:03 | 0:01:07 | |
Good evening and welcome
to the BBC News at Ten. | 0:01:19 | 0:01:24 | |
As anti-government protestors
in Iran have gathered for fourth | 0:01:24 | 0:01:26 | |
day of demonstrations,
the country's president, | 0:01:26 | 0:01:28 | |
Hassan Rouhani, has said Iranians
have the right to protest, | 0:01:28 | 0:01:30 | |
but not resort to
violence and vandalism. | 0:01:30 | 0:01:32 | |
His comments are the first
by a senior figure in the country | 0:01:32 | 0:01:35 | |
since widespread protests
began on Thursday. | 0:01:35 | 0:01:39 | |
Today, police in Tehran used water
cannon against protesters and some | 0:01:39 | 0:01:41 | |
social media was banned. | 0:01:41 | 0:01:44 | |
Kasra Naji of the BBC
Persian Service has this report. | 0:01:44 | 0:01:53 | |
The centre of Tehran during the
fourth day of anti-government | 0:01:53 | 0:01:55 | |
protests. These protesters are
shouting death to the dictator, a | 0:01:55 | 0:02:03 | |
reference to Iran's supreme leader.
The protests are the most serious | 0:02:03 | 0:02:10 | |
challenge to the Iranian clerical
regime for many years. As the night | 0:02:10 | 0:02:14 | |
fell, there were reports of
demonstrations from at least a dozen | 0:02:14 | 0:02:18 | |
or so cities up and down the
country. President Rouhani has | 0:02:18 | 0:02:22 | |
finally made a comment on the
unrest, days after they started, the | 0:02:22 | 0:02:28 | |
first Iranian leader to do so. He
said Iranians had a right to protest | 0:02:28 | 0:02:35 | |
but not to violence and destruction.
He said Iran had many problems that | 0:02:35 | 0:02:40 | |
dated back to previous years, a
reference to years of international | 0:02:40 | 0:02:44 | |
sanctions because of its nuclear
programme. The wave of | 0:02:44 | 0:02:49 | |
demonstrations throughout the
country started on Thursday here in | 0:02:49 | 0:02:55 | |
Mashhad in the north-east with what
was supposed to be a small protest | 0:02:55 | 0:03:00 | |
by the hardliners to criticise the
economic policies of the government | 0:03:00 | 0:03:04 | |
of President Rouhani, something that
quickly got out of control. Earlier | 0:03:04 | 0:03:10 | |
in the day, the government moved to
limit access in Iran to the internet | 0:03:10 | 0:03:14 | |
and to uphiller social media apps
like Telegram. But in spite of these | 0:03:14 | 0:03:22 | |
efforts, more and more videos are
being posted on social media, and | 0:03:22 | 0:03:25 | |
there has been more violence. Here
in this Western city, for example, | 0:03:25 | 0:03:32 | |
where a number of people are
reported to have been injured. | 0:03:32 | 0:03:37 | |
President Rouhani's latest words are
unlikely to come these | 0:03:37 | 0:03:42 | |
demonstrators, who are calling for
the overthrow of the government. | 0:03:42 | 0:03:49 | |
Firefighters have been
tackling a major fire | 0:03:49 | 0:03:52 | |
at the Liverpool Echo Arena. | 0:03:53 | 0:03:54 | |
The fire broke out in
the multi-storey car park | 0:03:54 | 0:03:56 | |
earlier this evening. | 0:03:56 | 0:03:57 | |
Steve Saul is at the Arena for us. | 0:03:57 | 0:03:59 | |
Steve, what more can you tell us? | 0:03:59 | 0:04:06 | |
This is a major operation for
Merseyside fire and rescue service | 0:04:06 | 0:04:08 | |
this evening. 1600 cars are thought
to be involved in this major blaze | 0:04:08 | 0:04:13 | |
at the multistorey car park to the
side of the Liverpool Echo Arena | 0:04:13 | 0:04:17 | |
close to the Albert dock in the city
centre. The crews got the call at | 0:04:17 | 0:04:21 | |
about quarter to six this evening. A
number of vehicles were thought to | 0:04:21 | 0:04:25 | |
have been involved in an incident
which then spread around the | 0:04:25 | 0:04:30 | |
building. A major operation under
way, 12 fire engines have been sent | 0:04:30 | 0:04:34 | |
to the scene and more emergency
vehicles are arriving as we speak. | 0:04:34 | 0:04:38 | |
You can see the flames still
shooting out of the car park summer | 0:04:38 | 0:04:42 | |
four hours after the fire started.
The mayor is appealing for help for | 0:04:42 | 0:04:47 | |
accommodation and for transport to
try and help get people home. Many | 0:04:47 | 0:04:51 | |
people are unable to access their
vehicles this evening. The Liverpool | 0:04:51 | 0:04:55 | |
international horse show had been
taking place here. The horses were | 0:04:55 | 0:04:58 | |
led into the arena to keep them
safe, as their owners moved the | 0:04:58 | 0:05:02 | |
horse boxes which were parked on the
ground floor of the car park. Now, a | 0:05:02 | 0:05:07 | |
major investigation is under way and
the incident continues here tonight. | 0:05:07 | 0:05:11 | |
Steve, many thanks. | 0:05:11 | 0:05:17 | |
At least 36 people have been killed
in a head-on collision between a bus | 0:05:17 | 0:05:20 | |
and a truck on a notoriously
dangerous road in Kenya. | 0:05:20 | 0:05:22 | |
The bus was carrying people
to the capital, Nairobi, | 0:05:22 | 0:05:25 | |
when the accident happened
on the Nakuru-Eldoret | 0:05:25 | 0:05:26 | |
highway near Nakuru. | 0:05:26 | 0:05:27 | |
More than 100 people have died
in the last few weeks on that | 0:05:27 | 0:05:30 | |
stretch of road alone. | 0:05:30 | 0:05:32 | |
A seaplane has crashed
into a river near Sydney, | 0:05:32 | 0:05:34 | |
killing all six people on board. | 0:05:34 | 0:05:38 | |
Reports suggest four
of the victims are British, | 0:05:38 | 0:05:39 | |
although this has not been
confirmed by police. | 0:05:39 | 0:05:43 | |
The Foreign Office here is in
contact with officials in Australia. | 0:05:43 | 0:05:45 | |
The aircraft, on a sightseeing trip
in the run-up to the New Year | 0:05:45 | 0:05:51 | |
celebrations, came down in a river
close to the suburb of Cowan. | 0:05:51 | 0:05:54 | |
Phil Mercer reports from Sydney. | 0:05:54 | 0:06:01 | |
The seaplane crashed into Jerusalem
Bay near the town of Cowan. | 0:06:01 | 0:06:04 | |
On board were five
passengers and the pilot. | 0:06:04 | 0:06:07 | |
The single-engine aircraft
is thought to have sunk rapidly. | 0:06:07 | 0:06:11 | |
A witness said it had made a tight
right-hand turn and then nosedived | 0:06:11 | 0:06:14 | |
into the Hawkesbury River. | 0:06:14 | 0:06:16 | |
A full-scale search
was soon under way. | 0:06:16 | 0:06:18 | |
There were no survivors. | 0:06:18 | 0:06:21 | |
Police divers have found six bodies. | 0:06:21 | 0:06:24 | |
The wreckage of the plane remains
in more than 40ft of water. | 0:06:24 | 0:06:28 | |
The authorities say a full
investigation will take place. | 0:06:28 | 0:06:33 | |
I cannot confirm the identity
or ages of the people | 0:06:33 | 0:06:35 | |
who were on the plane. | 0:06:35 | 0:06:36 | |
We are... | 0:06:36 | 0:06:40 | |
It is early in the investigation,
and we are working with the plane | 0:06:40 | 0:06:44 | |
company, getting investigators
here to confirm the identities | 0:06:44 | 0:06:48 | |
and investigate why the plane
crashed into the water. | 0:06:48 | 0:06:55 | |
The seaplane was returning
from a waterfront restaurant | 0:06:55 | 0:06:59 | |
to Rose Bay on Sydney Harbour. | 0:06:59 | 0:07:02 | |
It's a journey that would normally
take around 20 minutes. | 0:07:02 | 0:07:05 | |
The aircraft is owned
by Sydney Seaplanes. | 0:07:05 | 0:07:09 | |
It provides flights around some
of the city's most popular | 0:07:09 | 0:07:13 | |
tourist attractions,
including the Opera House, | 0:07:13 | 0:07:19 | |
the Harbour Bridge, and to
the north, the Hawkesbury River. | 0:07:19 | 0:07:21 | |
The company said in a statement
that its pilots are some of the most | 0:07:21 | 0:07:24 | |
experienced in the world and that
all its flights had been suspended | 0:07:24 | 0:07:27 | |
until further notice. | 0:07:27 | 0:07:29 | |
Air-crash investigators will arrive
at the site of the accident | 0:07:29 | 0:07:33 | |
early on New Year's Day
to try to establish how and why | 0:07:33 | 0:07:36 | |
a routine sightseeing flight
could end in catastrophe. | 0:07:36 | 0:07:38 | |
Phil Mercer, BBC News, Sydney. | 0:07:38 | 0:07:45 | |
Thousands of rail travellers have
faced disrupted journeys today | 0:07:45 | 0:07:48 | |
as workers from two companies stage
a 24-hour strike. | 0:07:48 | 0:07:50 | |
Members of the RMT union
on South Western Railway | 0:07:50 | 0:07:53 | |
and CrossCountry are taking action
in disputes about the role | 0:07:53 | 0:07:56 | |
of guards, and working patterns. | 0:07:56 | 0:08:03 | |
New Year's celebrations have
begun around the world | 0:08:03 | 0:08:05 | |
as we welcome in 2018. | 0:08:05 | 0:08:08 | |
New Zealand was the first
to see fireworks before | 0:08:08 | 0:08:11 | |
Sydney Harbour was transformed
into a blaze of colour. | 0:08:11 | 0:08:16 | |
Richard Lister's report
contains flashing images. | 0:08:16 | 0:08:26 | |
Once again, Sydney set the standard
for new years fireworks. 1.5 million | 0:08:29 | 0:08:37 | |
people lined the harbour front for a
dazzling, deafening celebration. The | 0:08:37 | 0:08:47 | |
rainbow theme was a tribute to
Australia's legalisation of same-sex | 0:08:47 | 0:08:50 | |
marriage. Two hours earlier,
Auckland, New Zealand, was the first | 0:08:50 | 0:08:58 | |
major city to celebrate 2018. It's
Sky Tower lit up like a giant Roman | 0:08:58 | 0:09:06 | |
candle. That's the unmistakable
sound of North Korea joining the | 0:09:06 | 0:09:14 | |
celebrations which what else but a
display of rocket power. Perhaps the | 0:09:14 | 0:09:22 | |
most unusual display, though, didn't
involve fireworks at all. In Dubai | 0:09:22 | 0:09:27 | |
they lit up the world's tallest
building with lasers. The Burj | 0:09:27 | 0:09:33 | |
Khalifa became a shimmering campus,
visible up to 60 miles away. While | 0:09:33 | 0:09:39 | |
midnight swept around the world, New
York was gearing up for its | 0:09:39 | 0:09:43 | |
celebrations, one of several cities
with unprecedented security this | 0:09:43 | 0:09:46 | |
year. Parts of China have had a day
of festivities, even though they | 0:09:46 | 0:09:51 | |
will mark the New Year in February.
But Hong Kong may have out does old | 0:09:51 | 0:09:57 | |
Sydney. Fireworks exploded across
Victoria Harbour to a tune most of | 0:09:57 | 0:10:04 | |
us will be singing later. | 0:10:04 | 0:10:08 | |
Well, here, preparations
are underway around the country. | 0:10:08 | 0:10:12 | |
There will be big crowds
in London and Edinburgh. | 0:10:12 | 0:10:21 | |
Jonathan Blake is in London for us. | 0:10:22 | 0:10:27 | |
The countdown is well and truly on
for London's spectacular fireworks | 0:10:27 | 0:10:31 | |
display. The crowds here on the
Victoria Embankment and on the | 0:10:31 | 0:10:38 | |
bridges are building as the 100,000
people who have tickets for tonight | 0:10:38 | 0:10:41 | |
take their place in the viewing area
is. It's a huge event, and requires | 0:10:41 | 0:10:46 | |
a huge security operation. It is
tight, as you would imagine. The | 0:10:46 | 0:10:50 | |
Metropolitan Police say there is no
specific threat to the celebrations | 0:10:50 | 0:10:54 | |
tonight but they're asking people to
be vigil and, people have had bags | 0:10:54 | 0:10:59 | |
searched and they're asking people
to report anything they see as | 0:10:59 | 0:11:02 | |
suspicious. Armed officers are on
patrol and we are told undercover | 0:11:02 | 0:11:06 | |
officers are in the crowd. We are
told there will be 11 minutes and 15 | 0:11:06 | 0:11:10 | |
seconds of fireworks. There will be
three barges on the river with 30 | 0:11:10 | 0:11:15 | |
tonnes of equipment setting off
50,000 individual explosions, with a | 0:11:15 | 0:11:17 | |
the London Eye the centrepiece. The
soundtrack features female artists | 0:11:17 | 0:11:22 | |
to celebrate 2018 as the centenary
year of women being given the right | 0:11:22 | 0:11:29 | |
to vote. And it all kicks off as Big
Ben chimes midnight. London, not the | 0:11:29 | 0:11:35 | |
only city celebrating in style
tonight. | 0:11:35 | 0:11:38 | |
Andrew Black is in Edinburgh. | 0:11:38 | 0:11:42 | |
As you can see behind me, the party
has really kicked off now. This is | 0:11:42 | 0:11:47 | |
the main street in Edinburgh,
Princes Street, which has been | 0:11:47 | 0:11:52 | |
transformed for a street party
tonight. We're expecting around | 0:11:52 | 0:11:56 | |
60,000 people, and 150,000 people in
total coming to Edinburgh to see in | 0:11:56 | 0:12:01 | |
the New Year. Tonight will end with
a massive crescendo, a huge | 0:12:01 | 0:12:06 | |
fireworks display, which is set off
every year from the Edinburgh Castle | 0:12:06 | 0:12:10 | |
and battlements, and it has been
extended at in is going to be a | 0:12:10 | 0:12:16 | |
record ten minutes long. People have
been enjoying live music from the | 0:12:16 | 0:12:21 | |
likes of Rag'n'Bone Man and The
Human League as well. Also there is | 0:12:21 | 0:12:24 | |
the serious issue of security at big
public events like this. Pulleys | 0:12:24 | 0:12:30 | |
here have put extra resources out on
the streets, including armed | 0:12:30 | 0:12:35 | |
officers in, but as with the event
in London, there has not been any | 0:12:35 | 0:12:39 | |
specific threat, and at the moment
police have been trying to make sure | 0:12:39 | 0:12:43 | |
that people can enjoy themselves as
much as possible while keeping a | 0:12:43 | 0:12:46 | |
close eye on things. Some more good
news tonight, because this is | 0:12:46 | 0:12:52 | |
Scotland and the weather can
sometimes be fairly horrific in the | 0:12:52 | 0:12:55 | |
winter chill parts of the country
have been battered by Storm Dylan | 0:12:55 | 0:12:59 | |
over the last day or so, but
organisers were confident tonight | 0:12:59 | 0:13:03 | |
that things would go ahead as
planned, and they have indeed if the | 0:13:03 | 0:13:07 | |
weather is holding out, it's not too
bad here tonight. People are having | 0:13:07 | 0:13:12 | |
a really awesome time, and I think
that's probably going to continue | 0:13:12 | 0:13:16 | |
right until the final countdown to
midnight. Enjoy the party, both of | 0:13:16 | 0:13:20 | |
you! | 0:13:20 | 0:13:25 | |
Football, and Arsene Wenger reached
a new milestone by taking charge | 0:13:25 | 0:13:29 | |
of Arsenal for a record 811
Premier League matches - | 0:13:29 | 0:13:31 | |
as his club drew 1-1
with West Bromwich Albion. | 0:13:31 | 0:13:34 | |
And Manchester City's winning run
in the league has come | 0:13:34 | 0:13:36 | |
to a halt after 18 games. | 0:13:36 | 0:13:37 | |
They were held to a goalless
draw by Crystal Palace. | 0:13:37 | 0:13:40 | |
They still head into the New Year
with a 14-point lead | 0:13:40 | 0:13:42 | |
at the top of the table. | 0:13:42 | 0:13:44 | |
Adam Wild watched the action. | 0:13:44 | 0:13:53 | |
The message from fans was clear
enough. Still it is hard to imagine | 0:13:53 | 0:13:57 | |
just how things could get any better
for Manchester City. Never has a Tim | 0:13:57 | 0:14:01 | |
Paine so far ahead at the end of the
year. As for their potential, there | 0:14:01 | 0:14:05 | |
seems no end. But against Crystal
Palace this was a new Year lacking | 0:14:05 | 0:14:09 | |
celebration. Gabriel Jesus was
injured, leaving in tears. It was | 0:14:09 | 0:14:14 | |
his replacement Sergio Aguero who
went closest in the first half. But | 0:14:14 | 0:14:17 | |
this was not the brilliance from
City that all had come to fear. | 0:14:17 | 0:14:22 | |
Victory would have equalled the
European record, the target, then, | 0:14:22 | 0:14:30 | |
straightforward - hitting it
seemingly less so. But Palace had | 0:14:30 | 0:14:32 | |
chances of their own with which they
should have done better. And that | 0:14:32 | 0:14:37 | |
ultimately for them is how this will
be remembered. In the 90th minute | 0:14:37 | 0:14:41 | |
they were awarded a penalty, but
Luka Milivojevic was unable to | 0:14:41 | 0:14:47 | |
score. So, not quite the perfect end
to 2017 for either side. For both, | 0:14:47 | 0:14:54 | |
New Year's Eve, as is so often the
case, a bit of an anti-climax. | 0:14:54 | 0:14:58 | |
Elsewhere a big day on the calendar
of a rather different sort. At West | 0:14:58 | 0:15:03 | |
Brom, Arsene Wenger took charge of
Arsenal for the 811th Premier League | 0:15:03 | 0:15:08 | |
game, a new record. But there was
much work to be done before any | 0:15:08 | 0:15:12 | |
celebrations could start. His team
bade him wait, it wasn't until the | 0:15:12 | 0:15:15 | |
second half that they found a way
through, and even then it took a | 0:15:15 | 0:15:19 | |
little deflection. But with just
moments left, that was still far | 0:15:19 | 0:15:24 | |
from the end of it. Two minutes
remaining and West Brom were offered | 0:15:24 | 0:15:28 | |
a hand back into it. This was deemed
a penalty and Jay Rodriguez gladly | 0:15:28 | 0:15:36 | |
spoiled Arsene Wenger's special day.
Drama to the very end of the year. | 0:15:36 | 0:15:45 | |
You can see more on all of today's
stories on the BBC News Channel. | 0:15:45 | 0:15:49 | |
That's all from me. | 0:15:49 | 0:15:53 | |
I wish you a very happy New Year. | 0:15:53 | 0:15:57 | |
Good night. | 0:15:57 | 0:16:00 |
