Tonight at Ten, manufacturing
output in the UK reaches | 0:00:05 | 0:00:09 | |
its highest level in a decade. | 0:00:09 | 0:00:12 | |
Official figures for November show
the sector grew for a seventh month | 0:00:12 | 0:00:15 | |
in a row boosted by the weak pound
and the state of the global economy. | 0:00:15 | 0:00:20 | |
The global economy is growing. | 0:00:20 | 0:00:23 | |
We're a small trading nation
and that rising tide is also | 0:00:23 | 0:00:27 | |
lifting the uk boat. | 0:00:27 | 0:00:29 | |
But in contrast, the construction
sector saw the biggest fall | 0:00:29 | 0:00:33 | |
in output for the past five years -
we'll have the details. | 0:00:33 | 0:00:36 | |
Also tonight: | 0:00:36 | 0:00:37 | |
After the mudslides in California
at least 15 have died | 0:00:37 | 0:00:40 | |
but rescuers find some
survivors, including babies. | 0:00:40 | 0:00:44 | |
We dug down and found a little baby,
I don't know where it came from, | 0:00:44 | 0:00:48 | |
we dug it out, got the mud out
of its mouth, I hope it's ok | 0:00:48 | 0:00:52 | |
they took it right ot the hospital. | 0:00:52 | 0:00:57 | |
A special report from Jordan
where thousands of injured Syrian | 0:00:58 | 0:01:03 | |
children are facing long
waits for treatment. | 0:01:03 | 0:01:06 | |
The record number of orphaned seals
found along the Cornish | 0:01:06 | 0:01:09 | |
coastline over the past few weeks. | 0:01:09 | 0:01:15 | |
And, the latest production
secrets from the director who | 0:01:15 | 0:01:19 | |
brought us Wallace and Grommit. | 0:01:19 | 0:01:22 | |
And coming up on
Sportsday on BBC News. | 0:01:22 | 0:01:25 | |
The VAR experiment continues. | 0:01:25 | 0:01:27 | |
Chelsea and Arsenal's EFL Cup
semifinal is the second club match | 0:01:27 | 0:01:30 | |
in England to use the new system. | 0:01:30 | 0:01:37 | |
Good evening. | 0:01:52 | 0:01:53 | |
Manufacturing output in the UK
is growing at its fastest rate | 0:01:53 | 0:01:56 | |
for a decade after recording
a seventh consecutive month | 0:01:56 | 0:01:59 | |
of growth in November. | 0:01:59 | 0:02:00 | |
Performance has been boosted
by the weak pound and by the revived | 0:02:00 | 0:02:03 | |
state of the global economy. | 0:02:03 | 0:02:05 | |
But in the same period construction
output fell by the biggest margin | 0:02:05 | 0:02:09 | |
for the past five years reflecting
the subdued nature of the domestic | 0:02:09 | 0:02:13 | |
economy, as our economics editor
Kamal Ahmed explains. | 0:02:13 | 0:02:17 | |
The sound of better economic news,
and the manufacturers | 0:02:20 | 0:02:23 | |
which are making the goods
a faster-growing world is demanding. | 0:02:23 | 0:02:26 | |
The weakness in the value
of the pound makes everything | 0:02:26 | 0:02:31 | |
Britain sells abroad more
competitive, and firms that export | 0:02:31 | 0:02:35 | |
are taking advantage. | 0:02:35 | 0:02:39 | |
So this machine actually
is a high-end wire EDM machine... | 0:02:39 | 0:02:42 | |
Like Brandauer in Birmingham. | 0:02:42 | 0:02:45 | |
Among other high-tech materials,
it makes the switches for 90% | 0:02:45 | 0:02:48 | |
of all the kettles in the world,
billions of them. | 0:02:48 | 0:02:51 | |
Its order books for household
goods, the car sector | 0:02:51 | 0:02:53 | |
and aerospace are bulging. | 0:02:53 | 0:02:56 | |
We've always exported a huge
percentage of what we make. | 0:02:56 | 0:03:00 | |
Currently, that's around 70, 75%. | 0:03:00 | 0:03:03 | |
Global growth of our customers
and the manufacturing supply chain | 0:03:03 | 0:03:07 | |
means growth for us. | 0:03:07 | 0:03:09 | |
Our customers are doing well,
and technology demands | 0:03:09 | 0:03:13 | |
are ever-increasing,
which means Brandauer, | 0:03:13 | 0:03:16 | |
as a net result, will do well. | 0:03:16 | 0:03:19 | |
It's been a ten year roller-coaster
for Britain's makers. | 0:03:19 | 0:03:22 | |
Manufacturing suffered badly
in the financial crisis and has only | 0:03:22 | 0:03:26 | |
slowly recovered since. | 0:03:26 | 0:03:29 | |
But, in the last year,
things have taken a turn | 0:03:29 | 0:03:32 | |
for the better and output is now
at its highest since April 2008. | 0:03:32 | 0:03:35 | |
Behind these better figures is a big
economic trend, global growth. | 0:03:35 | 0:03:41 | |
For the first time since
the financial crisis ten years ago, | 0:03:41 | 0:03:48 | |
all the economic centres -
the USA, China, Japan | 0:03:48 | 0:03:52 | |
and the rest of Europe -
are seeing stronger growth, | 0:03:52 | 0:03:57 | |
and that rising tide
is lifting Britain. | 0:03:57 | 0:03:59 | |
Confidence is flowing back. | 0:03:59 | 0:04:02 | |
It's not all good news. | 0:04:02 | 0:04:04 | |
Construction figures
are poor and there are still | 0:04:04 | 0:04:08 | |
the problems of falling wages
and the increase in prices. | 0:04:08 | 0:04:10 | |
Many economists warn that Britain
is not out of the economic woods, | 0:04:10 | 0:04:13 | |
including a former adviser
to the Chancellor. | 0:04:13 | 0:04:16 | |
What we've seen in the UK
relative to elsewhere | 0:04:16 | 0:04:20 | |
is growth relatively stable. | 0:04:20 | 0:04:22 | |
Now, that is still better than most
predicted at the start of 2017, | 0:04:22 | 0:04:27 | |
because the Brexit negotiation
was expected to have a more | 0:04:27 | 0:04:32 | |
dampening impact on growth,
but the global environment has | 0:04:32 | 0:04:36 | |
actually ended up being much
stronger, and I think that has | 0:04:36 | 0:04:39 | |
supported UK activity. | 0:04:39 | 0:04:41 | |
The UK is still the laggard, though. | 0:04:41 | 0:04:43 | |
Manufacturing is a bright point,
but at just 10% of the UK economy | 0:04:43 | 0:04:47 | |
it's not everything. | 0:04:47 | 0:04:49 | |
The strength of Britain overall
will only become clear when the full | 0:04:49 | 0:04:52 | |
set of figures are published
at the end of the month. | 0:04:52 | 0:04:55 | |
Many economists believe
they will now be more | 0:04:55 | 0:04:58 | |
positive than expected. | 0:04:58 | 0:05:00 | |
Kamal is here with us now. | 0:05:00 | 0:05:07 | |
Manufacturing is one thing, clearly
an important thing, but there's more | 0:05:07 | 0:05:09 | |
to the economy? The economy is a
complex mix of different trends, | 0:05:09 | 0:05:13 | |
that's why my job is so interesting.
But yes, this global growth story is | 0:05:13 | 0:05:18 | |
based around very low interest rates
which have met that. They were put | 0:05:18 | 0:05:23 | |
in place to help the global economy
through the financial crisis, | 0:05:23 | 0:05:27 | |
meaning consumers and businesses are
borrowing very cheap money, spending | 0:05:27 | 0:05:31 | |
that and finally, the world is
coming out of the financial crisis | 0:05:31 | 0:05:36 | |
funk that it's been in for the best
part of a decade which is helping | 0:05:36 | 0:05:40 | |
Britain. That is only one part of
the British economic story. We know | 0:05:40 | 0:05:44 | |
that pay squeeze is still with us,
higher prices are affecting the | 0:05:44 | 0:05:47 | |
price of things like food in the
shops and, of course, there's the | 0:05:47 | 0:05:51 | |
Brexit negotiations. They're going
to hang over everything about | 0:05:51 | 0:05:55 | |
economic sentiment this year, how
good they'll be, and tonight, Philip | 0:05:55 | 0:05:58 | |
Hammond, the Chancellor, has really
tried to kick start those | 0:05:58 | 0:06:03 | |
negotiations towards whatever the
new free trade deal may be with the | 0:06:03 | 0:06:06 | |
European Union with a warning at a
dinner in front of business leaders | 0:06:06 | 0:06:10 | |
in Germany in Berlin where he said
that the EU should start offering | 0:06:10 | 0:06:15 | |
some solutions, they should stop
talking about punishing the UK, It | 0:06:15 | 0:06:20 | |
Takes Two to tango, he says. Come on
EU put on the table what you want to | 0:06:20 | 0:06:24 | |
see happen, trying to kick start on
a very tight timetable. I think in | 0:06:24 | 0:06:28 | |
Brussels, the response to that will
be some raised eyebrows. Britain | 0:06:28 | 0:06:32 | |
decided to leave the EU, the EU
didn't decide to leave Britain, you | 0:06:32 | 0:06:37 | |
broke it, you fix it. I think the
key message all year will be from | 0:06:37 | 0:06:41 | |
Europe, as we have always been
hearing, Britain cannot have a | 0:06:41 | 0:06:44 | |
better deal outside the EU than it
had in the EU, we are not going to | 0:06:44 | 0:06:49 | |
be able to have our cake and eat it.
Thank you very much. | 0:06:49 | 0:06:55 | |
In Southern California at least 15
have died in the mudslides | 0:06:55 | 0:07:00 | |
as rescue efforts continue
people still trapped. | 0:07:00 | 0:07:03 | |
More than 50 people have been
rescued already but many places | 0:07:03 | 0:07:07 | |
are still inaccessible
with major roads closed. | 0:07:07 | 0:07:10 | |
For the latest, let's
join our correpondent | 0:07:10 | 0:07:12 | |
James Cook in Montecito. | 0:07:12 | 0:07:16 | |
Huw, the latest is that more than a
hundred homes, including ones behind | 0:07:16 | 0:07:21 | |
me here have been destroyed, more
than 300 have been damaged. That is | 0:07:21 | 0:07:25 | |
before this entire area's even been
fully surveyed. They are still, they | 0:07:25 | 0:07:30 | |
say, trying to find survivors, but
much of the focus now is on | 0:07:30 | 0:07:35 | |
recovering bodies. | 0:07:35 | 0:07:37 | |
On California's Pacific coast,
ordeal by the elements continues. | 0:07:39 | 0:07:44 | |
First, they endured the largest fire
in the state's history. | 0:07:44 | 0:07:47 | |
Next came torrential rain,
more intense than anyone | 0:07:47 | 0:07:49 | |
here could remember. | 0:07:49 | 0:07:52 | |
Then, within minutes, destruction,
caused by an unstoppable | 0:07:52 | 0:07:55 | |
wall of mud and debris. | 0:07:55 | 0:07:58 | |
14-year-old Lauren Cantin survived,
but even she does not know how. | 0:07:58 | 0:08:02 | |
Firefighters using rescue
dogs heard her screams | 0:08:02 | 0:08:07 | |
and worked for hours
to pull her from the | 0:08:07 | 0:08:10 | |
wreckage of her home. | 0:08:10 | 0:08:10 | |
Her family's fate is unknown. | 0:08:13 | 0:08:17 | |
Everyone here, it seems,
has their own incredible story | 0:08:17 | 0:08:21 | |
of a struggle to survive. | 0:08:21 | 0:08:23 | |
Once the boulders and trees came
through our house we climbed up | 0:08:23 | 0:08:28 | |
onto the roof and waited
until the creek went down a bit | 0:08:28 | 0:08:33 | |
and then we climbed off the roof
and got to our neighbour's garage. | 0:08:33 | 0:08:37 | |
We just got pulled out
of there by the firefighters now. | 0:08:37 | 0:08:39 | |
But he's been out
rescuing neighbours. | 0:08:39 | 0:08:42 | |
We heard a little baby crying. | 0:08:42 | 0:08:48 | |
We dug down and found a little baby. | 0:08:48 | 0:08:50 | |
I don't know where it came from. | 0:08:50 | 0:08:54 | |
We got it out, got
the mud out of its mouth. | 0:08:54 | 0:08:57 | |
I'm hoping it's OK. | 0:08:57 | 0:09:00 | |
They took it right to the hospital. | 0:09:00 | 0:09:02 | |
But it was just a baby, four feet
down in the mud, under the rocks. | 0:09:02 | 0:09:06 | |
I'm glad we got him. | 0:09:06 | 0:09:08 | |
There was a young man
that was washed away that | 0:09:08 | 0:09:12 | |
ended up half a mile away
from here on the freeway, | 0:09:12 | 0:09:14 | |
and survived that. | 0:09:14 | 0:09:17 | |
And has recall of actually
being washed through houses | 0:09:17 | 0:09:19 | |
and under vehicles,
and survived that. | 0:09:19 | 0:09:23 | |
These coastguard pictures show
the rescue of a family of five. | 0:09:23 | 0:09:27 | |
First a mother and her newborn baby
are winched to safety. | 0:09:27 | 0:09:31 | |
Then a little girl
makes it onto the roof. | 0:09:31 | 0:09:35 | |
Her seven-year-old
brother is saved too. | 0:09:35 | 0:09:38 | |
Terrifying moments,
but they are the lucky ones. | 0:09:38 | 0:09:43 | |
How do you describe it? | 0:09:43 | 0:09:45 | |
It is devastating, what happened. | 0:09:45 | 0:09:48 | |
The fire created a situation where
the dirt was able to wash down. | 0:09:48 | 0:09:53 | |
Had we still had all the vegetation
on the hills it would not have been | 0:09:53 | 0:09:57 | |
as much of an issue. | 0:09:57 | 0:09:59 | |
We just feel very sorry
for the people who have | 0:09:59 | 0:10:02 | |
lost their homes and their lives. | 0:10:02 | 0:10:03 | |
That's Coast Village
Road, Montecito. | 0:10:03 | 0:10:05 | |
Montecito. | 0:10:05 | 0:10:06 | |
So why did this happen? | 0:10:06 | 0:10:09 | |
The downpour soaked an area
which had been scorched by wildfire, | 0:10:09 | 0:10:13 | |
burning grass and shrubs which hold
the soil in place | 0:10:13 | 0:10:16 | |
and baking the earth,
leaving it slick and hard. | 0:10:16 | 0:10:18 | |
The water had nowhere
to go but down, fast, | 0:10:18 | 0:10:21 | |
into the town of Montecito
with deadly, devastating effect. | 0:10:21 | 0:10:23 | |
This is one of the most exclusive
communities in the United States, | 0:10:23 | 0:10:31 | |
home to stars including actor
Rob Lowe and TV presenter | 0:10:31 | 0:10:35 | |
Ellen DeGeneres. | 0:10:35 | 0:10:38 | |
But no amount of money
can stop a mudslide. | 0:10:38 | 0:10:42 | |
There used to be a fence right here. | 0:10:42 | 0:10:44 | |
That's my neighbour's house. | 0:10:44 | 0:10:46 | |
Devastated. | 0:10:46 | 0:10:48 | |
Oprah Winfrey posted this
video as she assessed | 0:10:48 | 0:10:51 | |
the damage in her garden. | 0:10:51 | 0:10:53 | |
See how deep the mud is. | 0:10:53 | 0:10:55 | |
The destruction was not
confined to the coast. | 0:10:55 | 0:10:59 | |
Further inland in Burbank,
a suburb of Los Angeles, | 0:11:01 | 0:11:04 | |
the cameras captured another
mudslide in action. | 0:11:04 | 0:11:08 | |
The power of this mudslide
is graphically demonstrated here. | 0:11:12 | 0:11:16 | |
The people in these homes,
and there were some people | 0:11:16 | 0:11:19 | |
who stayed in this area,
it must have been terrifying | 0:11:19 | 0:11:24 | |
as boulders like this and other
debris swept down from the hills. | 0:11:24 | 0:11:30 | |
Firefighters insist
there is still some hope | 0:11:30 | 0:11:33 | |
of finding survivors,
but it is fading. | 0:11:33 | 0:11:36 | |
The financial cost from this
disaster will be immense. | 0:11:36 | 0:11:39 | |
The human toll much higher. | 0:11:39 | 0:11:44 | |
Questions are knew being asked about
whether this community could have | 0:11:47 | 0:11:50 | |
been better prepared. After the
fires, everybody knew if there was | 0:11:50 | 0:11:54 | |
heavy rain, then it would cause a
problem, perhaps not as serious as | 0:11:54 | 0:11:59 | |
this, but a problem nonetheless.
There was an evacuation order given. | 0:11:59 | 0:12:03 | |
It was not mandatory for this
particular community, perhaps it | 0:12:03 | 0:12:07 | |
should have been, perhaps people
should have listened, but most of | 0:12:07 | 0:12:10 | |
all, people are saying here, no-one
expected the ferocity of this | 0:12:10 | 0:12:15 | |
mudslide which has caused such, such
trauma. Thanks for the update, | 0:12:15 | 0:12:21 | |
James. | 0:12:21 | 0:12:23 | |
The trial of the former football
coach, Barry Bennell, | 0:12:23 | 0:12:27 | |
on charges of child sexual offences
has for the first time heard | 0:12:27 | 0:12:30 | |
from an alleged victim. | 0:12:30 | 0:12:32 | |
A man who claims he was sexually
abused as a child has told the court | 0:12:32 | 0:12:35 | |
that Bennell had what he called
a 'power hold' over young | 0:12:35 | 0:12:38 | |
boys who dreamt of being
professional players. | 0:12:38 | 0:12:41 | |
The defendant who's now known
as Richard Jones denies 48 charges | 0:12:41 | 0:12:45 | |
of child sexual abuse as our sports
editor Dan Roan reports. | 0:12:45 | 0:12:47 | |
Back in the 1980s, Barry Bennell
worked with some of the most | 0:12:49 | 0:12:52 | |
promising young footballers
in the north-west of England. | 0:12:52 | 0:12:54 | |
Youth team coach at Crewe Alexandra. | 0:12:54 | 0:12:56 | |
He also had links
with Manchester City. | 0:12:56 | 0:12:58 | |
Today, Liverpool Crown Court
was told the 64-year-old, | 0:12:58 | 0:13:02 | |
who now calls himself Richard Jones,
exploited young boys' dreams | 0:13:02 | 0:13:05 | |
of becoming footballers in order
to sexually abuse them. | 0:13:05 | 0:13:09 | |
With Bennell watching on via video
link, the jury was shown | 0:13:09 | 0:13:13 | |
footage of the first
complainant's police interview. | 0:13:13 | 0:13:17 | |
He said he first met Bennell
when he came to a training session | 0:13:17 | 0:13:20 | |
as a scout for Manchester City. | 0:13:20 | 0:13:22 | |
Now in his 40s, the alleged victim
said he was abused up to 100 times | 0:13:22 | 0:13:26 | |
along with other boys by Bennell,
at his home above a shop | 0:13:26 | 0:13:29 | |
he owned in the Derbyshire
village of Furness Vale. | 0:13:29 | 0:13:32 | |
He claimed Bennell had up to three
boys share a bed with him. | 0:13:32 | 0:13:36 | |
The complainant said none dared
speak out for fear of jeopardising | 0:13:36 | 0:13:39 | |
their football prospects. | 0:13:39 | 0:13:42 | |
It was almost like an
untold rule, he said. | 0:13:42 | 0:13:45 | |
It's going to be frank
and open and it will cover | 0:13:51 | 0:13:53 | |
details of sexual abuse. | 0:13:53 | 0:13:55 | |
The court was shown a recording
of this BBC programme from November | 0:13:55 | 0:13:59 | |
2016 featuring other alleged victims
which the complainant said left him | 0:13:59 | 0:14:03 | |
in complete meltdown,
prompting him to contact police | 0:14:03 | 0:14:06 | |
for the first time. | 0:14:06 | 0:14:08 | |
Appearing behind a screen in court,
he was cross-examined | 0:14:08 | 0:14:11 | |
by Eleanor Laws QC for the defence,
and asked if his complaint | 0:14:11 | 0:14:13 | |
was financially motivated. | 0:14:13 | 0:14:16 | |
I am not in it for
the money, he said. | 0:14:16 | 0:14:21 | |
The court was read transcripts
from Bennell's interview | 0:14:21 | 0:14:23 | |
with the police, in which he denied
ever abusing the complainant. | 0:14:23 | 0:14:26 | |
I've had no sexual contact with him. | 0:14:26 | 0:14:28 | |
He said. | 0:14:28 | 0:14:29 | |
I remember thinking he was the one
that got away with it. | 0:14:29 | 0:14:32 | |
He wasn't one of my victims. | 0:14:32 | 0:14:34 | |
It's impossible. | 0:14:34 | 0:14:35 | |
The trial continues. | 0:14:35 | 0:14:36 | |
Dan Roan, BBC News, Liverpool. | 0:14:36 | 0:14:40 | |
Police in Stockport have found human
remains in a back garden. | 0:14:40 | 0:14:43 | |
Their search was instigated
when a woman went to police | 0:14:43 | 0:14:46 | |
at the weekend and told detectives
she'd killed a man. | 0:14:46 | 0:14:48 | |
Our North of England correspondent,
Judith Moritz, is in Stockport. | 0:14:48 | 0:14:56 | |
What is being said there this
evening, Judith? Well, Huw, the | 0:14:56 | 0:15:02 | |
police tell us on Saturday
afternoon, a 63-year-old woman | 0:15:02 | 0:15:05 | |
walked into a police station and
confessed to officers that she'd | 0:15:05 | 0:15:08 | |
killed a man some years ago and
buried him in the garden. That | 0:15:08 | 0:15:14 | |
sparked a forensic search and last
night, detectives confirmed they | 0:15:14 | 0:15:17 | |
have found human remains at the
property behind me. | 0:15:17 | 0:15:21 | |
Now, the BBC understands that the
body recovered is that of a man | 0:15:21 | 0:15:26 | |
named Kenneth Coombs and that the
woman who went to the police and is | 0:15:26 | 0:15:30 | |
now being questioned on suspicion of
murder is his daughter Barbara. | 0:15:30 | 0:15:34 | |
Neighbours have been asked by the
police if they remember Mr Coombs, | 0:15:34 | 0:15:38 | |
he would have been in his late 80s
in 2005. Detectives say they are | 0:15:38 | 0:15:43 | |
searching for information, their
investigation is at an early stage | 0:15:43 | 0:15:46 | |
but that a postmortem examination
should help them to establish how | 0:15:46 | 0:15:51 | |
and when Mr Coombs died. | 0:15:51 | 0:15:59 | |
A brief look at some
of the day's other news stories. | 0:15:59 | 0:16:01 | |
Lawyers representing victims
of the sex attacker John Worboys | 0:16:01 | 0:16:04 | |
are urging the Parole Board
to ban him from the Greater London | 0:16:04 | 0:16:06 | |
area when he's freed from prison. | 0:16:06 | 0:16:09 | |
Agency officials are due to meet
tomorrow to discuss his release, | 0:16:09 | 0:16:18 | |
but no final decision will be made
on the conditions that he will face. | 0:16:18 | 0:16:21 | |
Cancer patients at the Churchill
Hospital in Oxford could face delays | 0:16:21 | 0:16:24 | |
to their treatment due
to a shortage of staff. | 0:16:24 | 0:16:26 | |
That's the warning from a senior
doctor in a leaked staff memo. | 0:16:26 | 0:16:30 | |
The hospital trust said
there are no formal plans | 0:16:30 | 0:16:32 | |
to change cancer treatment. | 0:16:32 | 0:16:33 | |
The head of Ofgem, the Energy
regulator, has apologised to MPs | 0:16:33 | 0:16:36 | |
for failing vulnerable consumers. | 0:16:36 | 0:16:39 | |
He said he regretted not taking
swifter action to cap | 0:16:39 | 0:16:41 | |
standard variable tariffs. | 0:16:41 | 0:16:44 | |
He said a new government cap
would "go a long way | 0:16:44 | 0:16:47 | |
towards fixing the market." | 0:16:47 | 0:16:50 | |
The former Liberal Democrat leader,
Tim Farron, has said he regrets | 0:16:50 | 0:16:53 | |
saying that gay sex was not a sin. | 0:16:53 | 0:16:56 | |
He made the statement
during the 2017 general election | 0:16:56 | 0:16:58 | |
campaign after which he resigned,
saying he'd found it impossible | 0:16:58 | 0:17:02 | |
to reconcile the demands of politics
with his Christian faith. | 0:17:02 | 0:17:05 | |
He says he was "foolish" to allow
himself to be pressured into saying | 0:17:05 | 0:17:08 | |
something which he didn't
believe was right. | 0:17:08 | 0:17:14 | |
President Trump has told South Korea
that the US is open to talks | 0:17:14 | 0:17:17 | |
with North Korea "at the appropriate
time" and "under the | 0:17:17 | 0:17:19 | |
right circumstances." | 0:17:19 | 0:17:21 | |
The comments followed yesterday's
negotiations between North | 0:17:21 | 0:17:24 | |
and South Korea which resulted
in the North saying it would take | 0:17:24 | 0:17:27 | |
part in the Winter Olympics
in the South next month. | 0:17:27 | 0:17:31 | |
The White House said South Korea had
thanked Mr Trump for his "leadership | 0:17:31 | 0:17:34 | |
in making the talks possible." | 0:17:34 | 0:17:35 | |
Our correspondent, Nick Bryant,
is at the White House. | 0:17:35 | 0:17:38 | |
Nick, this is quite a change, isn't
it, in the space of a week or 10 | 0:17:38 | 0:17:43 | |
days? Only last week, Donald Trump
was boasting that his nuclear button | 0:17:43 | 0:17:47 | |
was bigger than Kim Jong-un's
nuclear button. A few months ago he | 0:17:47 | 0:17:51 | |
was trashing his Secretary of State,
Rex Tillerson, saying he was wasting | 0:17:51 | 0:17:56 | |
his time pursuing diplomacy with
Pyongyang. This new openness to talk | 0:17:56 | 0:18:01 | |
really is a meaningful shift. The
most conciliatory language we have | 0:18:01 | 0:18:05 | |
heard from Donald Trump on North
Korea since he took the oath of | 0:18:05 | 0:18:08 | |
office 12 months ago. It follows the
meeting on the Korean peninsula | 0:18:08 | 0:18:13 | |
yesterday between the North and
South corp row ya. There was good | 0:18:13 | 0:18:19 | |
energy he shared at the White House
an hour ago. He is claiming credit | 0:18:19 | 0:18:23 | |
for that for his hardline stance on
North Korea, the tough economic | 0:18:23 | 0:18:28 | |
sanctions the pressure on China, the
fire and fury rhetoric. The | 0:18:28 | 0:18:35 | |
digitalised kraber rateling on wit
Twitter. We will see a continuation | 0:18:35 | 0:18:38 | |
of much of that. Don't be surprised
if Donald Trump mocks Kim Jong-un as | 0:18:38 | 0:18:46 | |
Little Rock Man. The White House
saying it will ex-cert maximum | 0:18:46 | 0:18:50 | |
pressure. The question is how North
Korea will respond will it lead to a | 0:18:50 | 0:18:55 | |
pause in nuclear and missile
testing. If it doesn't it's hard to | 0:18:55 | 0:19:00 | |
see direct talks taking place
between Washington and pong cong. | 0:19:00 | 0:19:03 | |
Nick thanks very much. Once again,
Nick Bryant with the latest for us | 0:19:03 | 0:19:07 | |
there at the White House. | 0:19:07 | 0:19:12 | |
In Syria, at least 85 people have
been killed in the past ten days | 0:19:12 | 0:19:19 | |
in a besieged suburb of Damascus,
which is under rebel control. | 0:19:19 | 0:19:22 | |
The United Nations has condemned
the recent upsurge in attacks | 0:19:22 | 0:19:24 | |
on Eastern Ghouta by government
forces, calling the situation | 0:19:24 | 0:19:27 | |
"a human catastrophe." | 0:19:27 | 0:19:28 | |
The area's been under siege for more
than four-and-a-half years. | 0:19:28 | 0:19:30 | |
Our chief international
correspondent, Lyse Doucet, | 0:19:30 | 0:19:31 | |
reports from Syria. | 0:19:31 | 0:19:33 | |
This report contains some
distressing images. | 0:19:33 | 0:19:37 | |
The bombs fall every day
now in Eastern Ghouta. | 0:19:37 | 0:19:40 | |
Rescue teams rush in to
bring survivors out. | 0:19:40 | 0:19:44 | |
Frightened children, trapped inside,
not knowing where to run or hide. | 0:19:44 | 0:19:51 | |
This footage, filmed by the western
backed White Helmets, | 0:19:51 | 0:19:55 | |
in the neighbourhood of Hamoria. | 0:19:55 | 0:20:01 | |
They are digging in the rubble
with whatever tools they find, | 0:20:01 | 0:20:04 | |
often it's just bare hands. | 0:20:04 | 0:20:05 | |
The attacks by Syrian
and Russian warplanes, | 0:20:05 | 0:20:09 | |
on this last rebel-held enclave
of Damascus, intensified weeks ago, | 0:20:09 | 0:20:11 | |
scarring entire streets. | 0:20:11 | 0:20:21 | |
The attacks don't go only one way. | 0:20:21 | 0:20:23 | |
Rebel groups controlling this area,
including hardline Islamists | 0:20:23 | 0:20:25 | |
groups linked to Al-Qaeda,
fired more than a dozen | 0:20:25 | 0:20:29 | |
rockets into the heart
of Damascus yesterday. | 0:20:29 | 0:20:32 | |
This is the face of a war now
approaching its eighth year. | 0:20:32 | 0:20:35 | |
This is its sound. | 0:20:35 | 0:20:39 | |
CRYING | 0:20:39 | 0:20:43 | |
These children in Eastern Ghouta
have known no other life. | 0:20:43 | 0:20:46 | |
They survived the latest air
strikes, blood being wiped away, | 0:20:46 | 0:20:50 | |
not the pain, nor the fear. | 0:20:50 | 0:20:55 | |
And it stocks the old too,
already broken by years | 0:20:55 | 0:20:59 | |
of a punishing siege. | 0:20:59 | 0:21:05 | |
The history of Syria is written
here amongst these stones. | 0:21:05 | 0:21:09 | |
Three-year-old Samer was buried
yesterday by his uncle, | 0:21:09 | 0:21:10 | |
his father is badly injured. | 0:21:10 | 0:21:15 | |
Many now say Syria's war is over. | 0:21:15 | 0:21:17 | |
But it's not, not yet. | 0:21:17 | 0:21:18 | |
Lyse Doucet, BBC News, Damascus. | 0:21:18 | 0:21:26 | |
The children's charity Unicef says
that attacks on hospitals and other | 0:21:26 | 0:21:29 | |
health facilities have become
commonplace in Syria, | 0:21:29 | 0:21:31 | |
with less than half of the country's
health facilities operating | 0:21:31 | 0:21:34 | |
at full capacity. | 0:21:34 | 0:21:36 | |
They're struggling to cope
with the number of children | 0:21:36 | 0:21:42 | |
seriously injured in the Syrian
conflict, which is now | 0:21:42 | 0:21:44 | |
entering its eighth year. | 0:21:44 | 0:21:45 | |
BBC News at Ten has been
following the story of two young | 0:21:45 | 0:21:48 | |
girls, Rahaf and Qamar,
who were badly burnt | 0:21:48 | 0:21:50 | |
when a shell hit their home
in Syria six years ago. | 0:21:50 | 0:21:53 | |
They've both undergone
operations in Jordan, | 0:21:53 | 0:21:56 | |
where they now live. | 0:21:56 | 0:21:58 | |
Our correspondent, Caroline Hawley,
has been back to to Jordan to see | 0:21:58 | 0:22:03 | |
how they're both getting on. | 0:22:03 | 0:22:04 | |
Qamar barely remembers the day,
six years ago, that changed | 0:22:04 | 0:22:07 | |
the course of her life. | 0:22:07 | 0:22:08 | |
She was only three when a shell hit
the family home in Homs, | 0:22:08 | 0:22:11 | |
slamming into the children's
bedroom, setting fire | 0:22:11 | 0:22:13 | |
to Qamar in her bed clothes. | 0:22:13 | 0:22:17 | |
Qamar's hands were so damaged,
she needed help to feed | 0:22:17 | 0:22:20 | |
and dress herself. | 0:22:20 | 0:22:23 | |
She was so distressed
by her appearance, she couldn't | 0:22:23 | 0:22:25 | |
look in the mirror. | 0:22:25 | 0:22:31 | |
Her sister, Rahaf, was also badly
burnt and when we first met | 0:22:31 | 0:22:34 | |
the family, neither of the girls
would go out of the house, but today | 0:22:34 | 0:22:37 | |
they're on the way to school. | 0:22:37 | 0:22:39 | |
It's taken immense strength
and courage and countless operations | 0:22:39 | 0:22:41 | |
to get to where they are now. | 0:22:41 | 0:22:44 | |
This was the two of them
in Syria before the war. | 0:22:44 | 0:22:49 | |
When Qamar was four,
we watched as she had surgery | 0:22:49 | 0:22:52 | |
at a hospital run by the charity
Medecins Sans Frontieres | 0:22:52 | 0:22:54 | |
in Jordan, where the family
fled to for treatment. | 0:22:54 | 0:23:00 | |
Two years later, she had
to wear this mask to help | 0:23:02 | 0:23:05 | |
another skin graft heal. | 0:23:05 | 0:23:09 | |
These days they spend much more time
at school than in hospital. | 0:23:11 | 0:23:14 | |
Syrian refugees come
here in the afternoons | 0:23:14 | 0:23:16 | |
and the girls love it. | 0:23:16 | 0:23:18 | |
Qamar has had to get used to how
other children react to her. | 0:23:43 | 0:23:46 | |
Their teacher's worked hard to get
their classmates to accept them. | 0:24:02 | 0:24:06 | |
She admires Qamar's bravery. | 0:24:06 | 0:24:08 | |
Her parents worry about the social
stigma their daughters | 0:24:33 | 0:24:36 | |
will face as they grow up,
that life with their injuries | 0:24:36 | 0:24:39 | |
will be harder as young women. | 0:24:39 | 0:24:44 | |
When the children draw for us,
Qamar's first picture | 0:24:44 | 0:24:47 | |
is of her dream house and then
she draws a mosque. | 0:24:47 | 0:24:52 | |
But Rahaf has now been discharged
from MSF's hospital, | 0:25:05 | 0:25:07 | |
the doctors have done what they can. | 0:25:07 | 0:25:12 | |
Qamar is waiting for more surgery,
but with all the conflict | 0:25:12 | 0:25:15 | |
around the Middle East,
the hospital is inundated | 0:25:15 | 0:25:17 | |
with new cases, and the
waiting list is wrong. | 0:25:17 | 0:25:19 | |
Caroline Hawley, BBC News, Amman. | 0:25:19 | 0:25:26 | |
Millions of pounds' worth
of jewellery have been | 0:25:26 | 0:25:28 | |
stolen from the Ritz Hotel
in Paris tonight. | 0:25:28 | 0:25:31 | |
Armed robbers smashed
the windows of the hotel | 0:25:31 | 0:25:33 | |
where the jewellery was displayed. | 0:25:33 | 0:25:39 | |
Three members of the gang
were detained at the scene | 0:25:39 | 0:25:47 | |
and police say two
remain on the run. | 0:25:47 | 0:25:49 | |
Conservation charities say they've
been "overwhelmed" by the number | 0:25:49 | 0:25:51 | |
of stranded seals found along
the Cornish coast over | 0:25:51 | 0:25:53 | |
the past few weeks. | 0:25:53 | 0:25:54 | |
Record numbers of sick and abandoned
pups have been discovered | 0:25:54 | 0:25:57 | |
after a series of winter storms
and high tides. | 0:25:57 | 0:25:59 | |
Rescue centres say they
are struggling to cope. | 0:25:59 | 0:26:01 | |
Our correspondent, Jon Kay, reports. | 0:26:01 | 0:26:03 | |
On a suburban estate... | 0:26:03 | 0:26:04 | |
OK, shall we get them out? | 0:26:04 | 0:26:06 | |
..a pop-up seal sanctuary. | 0:26:06 | 0:26:09 | |
With the local rescue centres full,
these orphaned pups are having to be | 0:26:09 | 0:26:12 | |
housed in a garage near St Ives. | 0:26:12 | 0:26:17 | |
Father and son, David and Dan,
are fully trained and caring | 0:26:17 | 0:26:22 | |
for the seals 24/7. | 0:26:22 | 0:26:25 | |
Are you struggling to cope then? | 0:26:25 | 0:26:27 | |
We're at the point
where we really are. | 0:26:27 | 0:26:31 | |
I mean, this sort of speaks
for itself, really, having | 0:26:31 | 0:26:34 | |
all of these guys here. | 0:26:34 | 0:26:35 | |
You know, the rehab centres just
don't have the space to handle this | 0:26:35 | 0:26:38 | |
many pups in such a short
amount of time. | 0:26:38 | 0:26:41 | |
Every day, volunteers from the group
are racing to the Cornish coast | 0:26:41 | 0:26:45 | |
to rescue unprecedented numbers
of sick and starving pups, orphaned | 0:26:45 | 0:26:49 | |
and injured in winter storms. | 0:26:49 | 0:26:53 | |
Here's the tube, in
the corner of its mouth. | 0:26:53 | 0:26:56 | |
Providing emergency food
is the easy bit, finding them | 0:26:56 | 0:27:00 | |
somewhere to recuperate
is much more difficult. | 0:27:00 | 0:27:03 | |
They've had nearly 300 call-outs
already this winter. | 0:27:03 | 0:27:05 | |
I think we've been out 55
times this year so far. | 0:27:05 | 0:27:09 | |
What, since the 1st January? | 0:27:09 | 0:27:11 | |
Since the 1st January this year,
we've done 55 calls | 0:27:11 | 0:27:14 | |
and we've rescued 25. | 0:27:14 | 0:27:15 | |
The situation we find
ourselves in is completely | 0:27:15 | 0:27:17 | |
shocking, beyond belief. | 0:27:17 | 0:27:18 | |
It's not just south-west England,
elsewhere in the UK there have | 0:27:18 | 0:27:22 | |
been similar increases. | 0:27:22 | 0:27:25 | |
Don't be fooled by
today's blue skies. | 0:27:25 | 0:27:27 | |
Why this winter? | 0:27:27 | 0:27:28 | |
Why's it so bad now? | 0:27:28 | 0:27:30 | |
Because we've had a succession
of storms, over really high tides, | 0:27:30 | 0:27:34 | |
flooded all the beaches,
washed all those seal pups | 0:27:34 | 0:27:37 | |
out without enough food
inside them to survive. | 0:27:37 | 0:27:43 | |
Here at the Cornish Seal Sanctuary
there are a couple of spaces | 0:27:43 | 0:27:47 | |
tonight, so Dave and Dan can bring
in two pups from their garage. | 0:27:47 | 0:27:51 | |
But any more that are found might
have to be taken hundreds of miles | 0:27:51 | 0:27:54 | |
to other parts of the country
until there is more room. | 0:27:54 | 0:27:59 | |
Once these pups have recovered,
they'll be sent back into the sea. | 0:27:59 | 0:28:03 | |
But conservationists say
if we're going to avoid | 0:28:03 | 0:28:07 | |
an accommodation crisis next winter,
we need to start planning now. | 0:28:07 | 0:28:09 | |
Jon Kay, BBC News, Cornwall. | 0:28:09 | 0:28:17 | |
The animation company that gave
the world Wallace and Grommit | 0:28:17 | 0:28:20 | |
and Shaun the Sheep,
Aardman, and its Oscar-winning | 0:28:20 | 0:28:23 | |
director, Nick Park,
are about to release a new film, | 0:28:23 | 0:28:25 | |
a prehistoric comedy
called Early Man. | 0:28:25 | 0:28:27 | |
It's been five years in the making
and Nick Park has been | 0:28:27 | 0:28:30 | |
showing our arts editor,
Will Gompertz, exactly how he's | 0:28:30 | 0:28:33 | |
made his creations come
to life on the big screen. | 0:28:33 | 0:28:40 | |
The initial idea was, you know,
what if cavemen invented football? | 0:28:40 | 0:28:45 | |
And, I hadn't seen a prehistoric
underdog sports movie before. | 0:28:45 | 0:28:51 | |
Come on, everyone. | 0:28:51 | 0:28:54 | |
Let's show them what we've got. | 0:28:54 | 0:28:57 | |
This is one of my first sketches. | 0:28:57 | 0:29:01 | |
I loved sketching all the time,
that's where the characters | 0:29:01 | 0:29:03 | |
tend to come from. | 0:29:03 | 0:29:05 | |
And are you thinking as you sketch
in terms of plasticine? | 0:29:05 | 0:29:08 | |
Yes, I do. | 0:29:08 | 0:29:13 | |
I sort of think in 3D all the time. | 0:29:13 | 0:29:15 | |
I'm always drawing as if they have
dimension and I'm thinking about how | 0:29:15 | 0:29:18 | |
they will interpret... | 0:29:18 | 0:29:20 | |
How they'll translate into models. | 0:29:20 | 0:29:21 | |
What strange magic is this? | 0:29:21 | 0:29:25 | |
We try and prepare for every shot
before the animator starts. | 0:29:25 | 0:29:31 | |
We do quite often
live-action videos. | 0:29:31 | 0:29:37 | |
So Nick will act out almost
the entire film in front of camera, | 0:29:37 | 0:29:40 | |
and we go through that with him,
and that's our starting point. | 0:29:40 | 0:29:45 | |
We wanted, following Nick's
initial brief, to keep it | 0:29:45 | 0:29:47 | |
all looking very handmade. | 0:29:47 | 0:29:50 | |
So all of these sections
are made of plasticine, | 0:29:50 | 0:29:53 | |
but the mechanics inside are made
of lots of different materials. | 0:29:53 | 0:29:57 | |
So underneath we have armatures,
which we make all in-house. | 0:29:57 | 0:30:00 | |
They look something
a little bit like this. | 0:30:00 | 0:30:03 | |
So we have sort of ball
and socket joints in here | 0:30:03 | 0:30:06 | |
and hinged joints and rotates,
and then fundamentally | 0:30:06 | 0:30:08 | |
that's what sort of sits
inside our main characters. | 0:30:08 | 0:30:10 | |
Just a little bit more! | 0:30:10 | 0:30:12 | |
There are aspects of it,
are there not, which hark back | 0:30:12 | 0:30:27 | |
to your earliest days,
back to Wallace and Gromit? | 0:30:27 | 0:30:29 | |
Yeah, I know. | 0:30:29 | 0:30:30 | |
I mean, it is. | 0:30:30 | 0:30:31 | |
It is at the heart of it,
it is these two characters. | 0:30:31 | 0:30:34 | |
Dug is a caveman and
his pet hog Hognob. | 0:30:34 | 0:30:36 | |
I set out to try and be a bit
different to Wallace | 0:30:36 | 0:30:39 | |
and Gromit, but I guess
there is a sort of default. | 0:30:39 | 0:30:42 | |
You know, I can't help it. | 0:30:42 | 0:30:43 | |
The eyes are close together
and there is a sort of like a man | 0:30:43 | 0:30:47 | |
and dog sort of relationship,
I guess. | 0:30:47 | 0:30:48 | |
I mean, a man and hog in this case. | 0:30:48 | 0:30:50 | |
It's one thing trying to make it
the film you want to make | 0:30:50 | 0:30:53 | |
and to stay true to your vision. | 0:30:53 | 0:30:55 | |
But you're hoping that it also does
work for people out in the audience. | 0:30:55 | 0:31:02 | |
