Tonight at 22.00:

0:00:130:00:14

tensions in Cabinet,

as Boris Johnson is rebuked

0:00:140:00:16

by the Prime Minister,

for demanding more health spending.

0:00:160:00:18

REPORTER:

Do you want to be

the Chancellor, Foreign Secretary,

0:00:180:00:21

or perhaps Health Secretary?

0:00:210:00:22

Mr Johnson was told that Cabinet

discussions should remain private,

0:00:220:00:24

as the Chancellor stepped

in to add his case.

0:00:240:00:26

Mr Johnson is the Foreign Secretary.

0:00:260:00:28

I gave the Health Secretary an extra

£6 billion at the recent Budget

0:00:280:00:31

and we'll look at departmental

allocations again at the Spending

0:00:310:00:34

Review when that takes place.

0:00:340:00:42

But as winter pressures

take their toll, in many hospitals,

0:00:420:00:44

the Health Secretary acknowledges

that more money would be welcome.

0:00:440:00:49

I don't think any Health Secretary

is ever going to not support

0:00:490:00:52

potential extra resources

for his or her department.

0:00:520:00:57

We'll have the latest

on the Cabinet divisions,

0:00:570:00:59

and we'll be looking at the pressure

on NHS finances in England.

0:00:590:01:02

Also tonight:

0:01:020:01:04

Scotland Yard is investigating

a new allegation of sexual assault

0:01:040:01:07

made against the convicted rapist,

John Worboys.

0:01:070:01:11

Rupert Murdoch's plan for a takeover

of Sky has been provisionally

0:01:110:01:13

blocked by regulators.

0:01:130:01:19

We report from the remote

waters of Antarctica,

0:01:190:01:21

where scientists are demanding

protection for the unique

0:01:210:01:23

ecosystems they've found.

0:01:230:01:30

And the South African jazz musician,

and campaigner against apartheid,

0:01:300:01:34

Hugh Masekela, has died

at the age of 78.

0:01:340:01:40

And coming up in Sportsday later

in the hour on BBC News:

0:01:400:01:43

Manchester City look to reach

Wembley for next month's League Cup

0:01:430:01:45

final but it's anothger tough match

against Bristol City.

0:01:450:01:52

Good evening.

0:02:080:02:11

The Foreign Secretary Boris

Johnson, has been rebuked

0:02:110:02:13

by both the Prime Minister

and the Chancellor

0:02:130:02:15

after he let it be known

that he wanted substantial

0:02:150:02:21

new spending on the NHS in England.

0:02:210:02:26

At today's Cabinet meeting,

Theresa May reminded colleagues that

0:02:260:02:28

discussions should be

held in private.

0:02:280:02:29

And the Chancellor pointed

out that he'd already

0:02:290:02:31

allocated extra resources

in last year's Budget.

0:02:310:02:33

The row underlined concerns among

some Conservative MPs

0:02:330:02:36

about the Government's handling

of the winter pressures on the NHS,

0:02:360:02:38

as our political editor

Laura Kuenssberg reports.

0:02:380:02:41

She can come out in a wheelchair.

0:02:420:02:44

That's our treatment room

anyway, so that's not

0:02:440:02:45

going to free up a bed.

0:02:450:02:47

Long waits...

0:02:470:02:48

This gentleman has just come in.

0:02:480:02:50

Long days, another glimpse

of the pressure at the University

0:02:500:02:52

of North Tees Hospital,

like wards around the country.

0:02:520:02:56

We need more beds in the hospital.

0:02:560:02:59

We need more beds for them to go to.

0:02:590:03:03

Number Ten knows hospitals,

patients and the public looks

0:03:030:03:06

at them for answers.

0:03:060:03:09

However unwelcome visitors

making demands really are.

0:03:090:03:11

REPORTER:

Do you want to be

the Chancellor, Foreign Secretary?

0:03:110:03:14

He called for more cash at Cabinet

for the health service,

0:03:140:03:18

making public before,

what he planned to raise in private.

0:03:180:03:21

The Prime Minister and

others, unimpressed.

0:03:210:03:25

Inside, Boris Johnson was told off

for letting it be known he had

0:03:250:03:28

been making such a call.

0:03:280:03:29

REPORTER:

Foreign Secretary, did

you ask for more money for the NHS?

0:03:290:03:32

No word after either way, from him.

0:03:320:03:38

But other ministers didn't

quite manage to hide

0:03:380:03:41

their annoyance at what he'd done.

0:03:410:03:43

Did the Foreign Secretary raise

the NHS this morning?

0:03:430:03:45

You know as well as I do,

you can't go discussing Cabinet.

0:03:450:03:48

The Foreign Secretary has been

discussing the Cabinet.

0:03:480:03:50

Clearly, many MPs and the Foreign

Secretary are frustrated that not

0:03:500:03:52

enough is being done?

0:03:520:03:53

We have record funding

going into the NHS.

0:03:530:03:55

We put in extra money

in for the winter pressures.

0:03:550:03:58

We've got a really

good story to tell.

0:03:580:04:03

The Health Secretary

hurried into a waiting car,

0:04:030:04:11

but is not surprisingly

unsympathetic to the idea of more

0:04:120:04:15

taxpayers' money.

0:04:150:04:16

This has stirred up a lot

of fuss, but don't expect

0:04:160:04:18

the Foreign Secretary's

pronouncements to make

0:04:180:04:20

much difference soon.

0:04:200:04:21

But it's tricky for Number Ten,

not just because he is a loud voice

0:04:210:04:24

who doesn't always toe the line.

0:04:240:04:26

Not just because there

are genuine concerns about how

0:04:260:04:29

the health service is coping,

but because there is an anxiety

0:04:290:04:32

among some Tory MPs that Number Ten

is short of ideas and short

0:04:320:04:35

on ambition too.

0:04:350:04:36

Boris is right to speak out.

0:04:360:04:37

It's not his brief and people might

be upset about that,

0:04:370:04:40

but if people wanted to speak out

like Boris, then

0:04:400:04:42

they should have done.

0:04:420:04:43

Why the Foreign Secretary is making

this point, is anybody's guess.

0:04:430:04:46

But I think Boris has set

out his stall on Brexit,

0:04:460:04:49

now he setting out his stall

on the NHS and no doubt

0:04:490:04:52

we'll see Boris setting

out his stall on a lot of issues.

0:04:520:05:00

I think Boris has Bor-exited

himself from Cabinet

0:05:040:05:06

collective responsibility.

0:05:060:05:11

The man in charge of

the Government's cheque-book

0:05:110:05:13

hardly sounds sympathetic.

0:05:130:05:14

Mr Johnson is the Foreign Secretary.

0:05:140:05:15

I gave the Health Secretary an extra

£6 billion at the recent budget

0:05:150:05:18

and we will look at departmental

allocations again at the Spending

0:05:180:05:21

Review when that takes place.

0:05:210:05:22

Thank you.

0:05:220:05:23

Sources suggest the Health Secretary

is not plotting with Mr Johnson,

0:05:230:05:26

but perhaps every little helps.

0:05:260:05:27

I don't think any Health Secretary

is ever going to not support

0:05:270:05:30

potential extra resources

for his or her department.

0:05:300:05:38

There was agreement in Cabinet that

money that may come back to the UK

0:05:400:05:44

after Brexit should be spent

on priorities like

0:05:440:05:46

the health service.

0:05:460:05:47

But that is set against Labour's

demand for an extra 5 billion now.

0:05:470:05:54

For patients like Blanche,

who we met struggling back

0:05:540:05:59

in Stockton, waiting on a trolley,

the NHS often helps them

0:05:590:06:02

to a rapid recovery.

0:06:020:06:03

Yes, I feel a lot better

now, than I did, yeah.

0:06:030:06:06

But for politicians

who oversee the service,

0:06:060:06:11

there's rarely a simple case.

0:06:110:06:12

Laura Kuennsburg, BBC

News, Westminster.

0:06:120:06:15

Ministers insist that there are more

doctors and nurses employed

0:06:150:06:17

in the National Health Service

in England than ever before.

0:06:170:06:20

And this year spending on England's

NHS will go up by more

0:06:200:06:23

than £2 billion.

0:06:230:06:24

But at the same time,

as we've been reporting,

0:06:240:06:26

there have been unprecedented

demands on the NHS.

0:06:260:06:34

Hugh Pym is here to take a closer

look at the numbers.

0:06:340:06:39

Well Huw, as always the NHS

debate covers money -

0:06:390:06:42

politicians talking

about billions of pounds.

0:06:420:06:43

The Chancellor mentioned

£6 billion more in the Budget

0:06:430:06:45

for the NHS in England but that's

spread over five years.

0:06:450:06:48

There are growing demands now

for radical thinking about health

0:06:480:06:51

and social care funding,

trying to work out what's needed

0:06:510:06:53

in future decades and how much extra

money taxpayers will have to find.

0:06:530:06:56

The workforce is under pressure.

0:06:560:07:00

Vacant nursing and midwifery posts

reached a new high of more

0:07:000:07:05

than 34,000 in England.

0:07:050:07:08

That's added to the debate about

the need for long-term planning.

0:07:080:07:11

Some senior figures at Westminster

say only a break from party politics

0:07:110:07:14

will allow the right treatment

of the NHS's problems.

0:07:140:07:16

We need to take the long view.

0:07:160:07:19

Rather than just having these

short-term emergency injections

0:07:190:07:23

of cash, let's properly look

at the scale of demand, where that's

0:07:230:07:27

coming from and how we meet it,

not just for the next year or two

0:07:270:07:31

years, but for the next

ten years and beyond.

0:07:310:07:33

So, what is the current

state of the NHS?

0:07:330:07:36

Well, it's added more staff,

just over 10,000 more doctors

0:07:360:07:38

in England since 2010.

0:07:380:07:46

But they've had to cope with a rapid

rise in patient numbers.

0:07:480:07:51

There was a 40% increase

in the number of operations carried

0:07:510:07:54

out in England over the last decade.

0:07:540:07:55

And over that time,

attendances at A&E in England

0:07:550:07:57

went up by almost 30%.

0:07:570:07:59

Spending across the UK has gone up.

0:07:590:08:01

This graph shows

the rise since 1950.

0:08:010:08:04

It's now more than

£140 billion a year.

0:08:040:08:11

But while the UK spends 9.7%

of its national income on health,

0:08:110:08:14

that compares poorly

with other major EU nations.

0:08:140:08:19

France, on 11%,

and Germany on 11.3%.

0:08:190:08:21

And now NHS leaders say

more money is needed.

0:08:210:08:26

The system itself, the way

it is designed, is not yet fit

0:08:260:08:31

to deal with the challenges that

are faced by a growing number

0:08:310:08:34

of elderly people with a whole

range of conditions.

0:08:340:08:38

So we need funding change,

and we also need transformation

0:08:380:08:40

of the way in which services

are organised.

0:08:400:08:47

That's for the future

but the here and now for NHS

0:08:470:08:49

patients and staff is day to day

stress and pressure.

0:08:490:08:52

They will feel that however

much debate takes place,

0:08:520:08:54

solutions are needed and fast.

0:08:540:08:55

Huw.

0:08:550:09:00

Many thanks, our health editor

there, Hugh Pym with the latest look

0:09:000:09:03

at the figures.

0:09:030:09:05

The trial of Darren Osborne,

who's accused of driving a van

0:09:050:09:07

into a group of Muslims outside

a mosque in north London,

0:09:070:09:10

has heard that he received direct

messages from far-right groups

0:09:100:09:12

before the attack.

0:09:120:09:13

Osborne denies one charge of murder

and one of attempted murder.

0:09:130:09:16

51-year-old Makram Ali was killed

in the incident in June last year,

0:09:160:09:18

as our home affairs correspondent

Daniel Sandford reports.

0:09:180:09:25

The seconds just before a large

white van, travelling at speed,

0:09:250:09:29

smashed into a crowd of Muslim men

marking Ramadan last June.

0:09:290:09:33

It was the fourth attack last year

and the first to target Muslims.

0:09:330:09:38

The prosecution said that

in the previous fortnight,

0:09:380:09:41

the man on trial for the attack,

Darren Osborne, had searched dozens

0:09:410:09:44

of times on the Internet

for ultranationalist groups

0:09:440:09:47

and stories about terror attacks,

like the Manchester bombing.

0:09:470:09:52

The jury heard that in the 15

days before the attack,

0:09:520:09:56

Darren Osborne received two direct

communications from

0:09:560:09:57

far right leaders.

0:09:570:10:00

A direct message on Twitter

from the deputy leader

0:10:000:10:03

of Britain First, Jayda Fransen

and a note from Tommy Robinson,

0:10:030:10:07

one of the founders

of the English Defence League,

0:10:070:10:10

in which he talked about a nation

within a nation forming beneath

0:10:100:10:13

the surface in the UK.

0:10:130:10:17

A nation based upon

violence and on Islam.

0:10:170:10:20

On the morning of the day before

the attack, Osborne had

0:10:200:10:22

hired a large box van

from a local rental company.

0:10:220:10:26

And that evening, he sat down

in his local pub in Cardiff

0:10:260:10:29

with a pen and paper.

0:10:290:10:30

The prosecution say that's

when he wrote a note,

0:10:300:10:33

later found in the van,

which talks about feral, inbred,

0:10:330:10:39

raping Muslim men, hunting in packs.

0:10:390:10:42

Callum Spence, a serving

soldier, was in the pub.

0:10:420:10:44

He told the jury that

Darren Osborne said to him,

0:10:440:10:46

"all our families are going to be

Muslim."

0:10:460:10:49

And then, "I'm going to kill

all Muslims, I'm going to take

0:10:490:10:52

things into my own hands."

0:10:520:10:56

Less than 28 hours later,

the van Darren Osborne hired,

0:10:560:10:59

killed Makram Ali and seriously

injured several others.

0:10:590:11:02

He denies murder

and attempted murder.

0:11:020:11:04

Daniel Sandford, BBC News,

at Woolwich Crown Court.

0:11:040:11:11

The Metropolitan Police

is investigating a new allegation

0:11:110:11:13

of sexual assault, made

against the convicted

0:11:130:11:15

rapist, John Worboys.

0:11:150:11:18

BBC News understands

that the claim dates back to 1997,

0:11:180:11:21

and the alleged victim came forward

in the past few weeks.

0:11:210:11:25

Worboys, who was jailed nine years

ago, has been cleared for release

0:11:250:11:28

by the Parole Board at the end

of this month.

0:11:280:11:30

Our Home Affairs Editor,

Mark Easton, is at Scotland Yard.

0:11:300:11:34

Mark, how do this potentially affect

the plans to release John Worboys?

0:11:340:11:41

Well, given the huge national outcry

at the Worboys' case I'm sure the

0:11:410:11:45

police will be throwing everything

they can at this new investigation.

0:11:450:11:48

Still in its early stages, they will

be wanting to put that case together

0:11:480:11:57

as quickly as possible and present

it to prosecutor. The Crown

0:11:570:12:01

Prosecution Service will still need

to be persuaded that there is a

0:12:010:12:04

reasonable chance of conviction and

it is in the public interest to

0:12:040:12:09

pursue this through the courts. That

may not be straightforward. This

0:12:090:12:14

allegation is from 1997, an

allegation of sexual assault against

0:12:140:12:18

John wore biens the prosecutors will

need to be persuaded that it pass

0:12:180:12:22

what is they call the evidential

test. This is an allegation that

0:12:220:12:31

preceded all those convictions in

2009. The police will pursue this

0:12:310:12:35

with vigour and they will want it

charge John Worboys when he is still

0:12:350:12:40

in prison, held currently at

Belmarsh near London, at which point

0:12:400:12:43

his parole will almost certainly be

rescinded and that will be a huge

0:12:430:12:48

relief for many of John war boys'

victims who have expressed extreme

0:12:480:12:55

concern about his imminent release

were jail.

0:12:550:12:57

Thank you very much.

0:12:570:12:59

Rupert Murdoch's planned £11 billion

takeover of Sky has been

0:12:590:13:01

provisionally blocked by regulators

because of concerns it would give

0:13:010:13:05

Mr Murdoch 'too much control over

news providers in the UK'.

0:13:050:13:08

The Competition and Markets

Authority said that 21st

0:13:080:13:11

Century Fox's plans were 'not

in the public interest',

0:13:110:13:14

but it offered some remedies

to address the concerns -

0:13:140:13:16

as our media editor,

Amol Rajan, explains.

0:13:160:13:24

For nearly three decades,

Sky has entertained millions

0:13:240:13:26

across Europe and through its news

channel, provided a world class

0:13:260:13:29

rival to the dominant BBC.

0:13:290:13:32

It was the brainchild

of Rupert Murdoch, who was nearly

0:13:320:13:40

bankrupted by his mission to provide

British viewers with greater choice.

0:13:410:13:43

REPORTER: Mr Murdoch do

you have anything to say

0:13:430:13:45

to the victims of phone hacking?

0:13:450:13:47

When in 2010-11 he bid for full

control of the broadcaster,

0:13:470:13:50

the phone hacking scandal

at his newspapers

0:13:500:13:51

scuppered his ambition.

0:13:510:13:52

This is the most

humble day of my life.

0:13:520:13:54

The News of the World shut,

but Murdoch still owns other leading

0:13:540:13:57

titles such as the Times

and The Sun.

0:13:570:13:59

Today, however, Parliament heard

that the Competition

0:13:590:14:04

and Markets Authority

was provisionally satisfied

0:14:040:14:06

with the Murdoch's commitment

to broadcasting standards

0:14:060:14:07

but there remain issues

over media plurality.

0:14:070:14:12

It has also raised concerns

that the Murdoch family trust

0:14:120:14:15

would have increased influence over

public opinion and

0:14:150:14:17

the political agenda.

0:14:170:14:19

They've basically concluded that

Rupert Murdoch is too

0:14:190:14:22

powerful in this country,

he owns too much of our media estate

0:14:220:14:26

and if he gets control of 100%

of Sky that will give him

0:14:260:14:29

a disproportionate advantage

over his competitors

0:14:290:14:31

and he'll wield even more

influence over politicians.

0:14:310:14:36

Fox said they are disappointed

by the CMA's provisional findings

0:14:360:14:39

but still anticipate regulatory

approval of the transaction

0:14:390:14:41

by the end of June.

0:14:410:14:45

The Murdochs argue that

since their last bid,

0:14:450:14:47

the media industry has

undergone huge disruption.

0:14:470:14:52

Digital giants like Netflix

and Amazon have hugely increased

0:14:520:14:55

competition in the TV marketplace

while newspapers are under

0:14:550:14:57

pressure as never before.

0:14:570:15:01

But the curiosity about this story

is that the fate of Sky could be

0:15:010:15:05

in the hands of American,

rather than British regulators.

0:15:050:15:07

Last year Murdoch shocked

the industry by declaring

0:15:070:15:09

he was selling his entertainment

business to the US giant Disney.

0:15:090:15:12

That deal is now being scrutinised

under competition grounds in the US.

0:15:120:15:16

Maybe Rupert Murdoch

saw this coming.

0:15:160:15:18

His decision to sell up to Disney

shows he was willing to part company

0:15:180:15:21

with businesses that he'd lost

millions of pounds on.

0:15:210:15:23

The issue now is whether or not

Disney is as committed

0:15:230:15:27

as the Murdochs were,

not just to Sky but to Sky News,

0:15:270:15:30

because if they're not, well,

their media plurality in Britain

0:15:300:15:33

will be under threat.

0:15:330:15:38

The early signs are that Disney's

boss, Bob Eiger, does see

0:15:380:15:40

Sky News as integral to Sky.

0:15:400:15:44

But as a loss-making

distraction that doesn't play

0:15:440:15:45

to Disney's strengths,

it'll be months before Sky's staff

0:15:450:15:48

and audiences have complete

clarity on their future.

0:15:480:15:51

Amol Rajan, BBC News.

0:15:510:15:55

Scientists have called for some

of the most remote waters

0:15:550:15:57

in Antarctica to be given special

protection because they've

0:15:570:15:59

discovered unique ecosystems

in the waters of the Weddell Sea.

0:15:590:16:07

For much of the year,

the vast area is covered in ice.

0:16:070:16:10

Our environment correspondent,

Claire Marshall, has travelled

0:16:100:16:12

on a Greenpeace ship

to the Weddell Sea, off

0:16:120:16:14

the Antarctic Peninsula.

0:16:140:16:16

And she was able to dive

down beneath the surface

0:16:160:16:18

in a submarine to see for herself

what the scientists have found.

0:16:180:16:21

She sent this exclusive report.

0:16:210:16:24

Antarctica, the most remote

continent in the world,

0:16:240:16:28

encased in glacial ice thousands

of feet thick.

0:16:280:16:31

It's still largely unexplored

and we know even less

0:16:310:16:33

about the icy seas that ring it.

0:16:330:16:41

Now, machines are making it possible

for us to catch a glimpse.

0:16:410:16:48

A mini-submarine is taking marine

biologist Dr Susan Lockhart down

0:16:480:16:50

into the Antarctic deep.

0:16:500:16:58

Above is a land of frigid ice,

below is a thriving mass of life.

0:17:000:17:04

That's really pretty.

0:17:040:17:06

No light penetrates this deep.

0:17:060:17:10

Plants can't grow,

these are all animals.

0:17:100:17:15

Then it was my turn to go

down with pilot John.

0:17:150:17:19

We dropped much deeper.

0:17:190:17:22

More than 1,000 feet down,

we find a wall of life.

0:17:220:17:27

Sponges and corals, sea stars,

feather stars, all thriving

0:17:270:17:29

in complete darkness.

0:17:290:17:37

A robot arm captures samples.

0:17:370:17:40

Some of these species have

never been filmed before.

0:17:400:17:43

They're threatened by an increase

in fishing in the region.

0:17:430:17:46

Too soon, we have to leave.

0:17:460:17:50

So there's a storm apparently

brewing on the surface,

0:17:500:17:52

so the ship have asked us

to come up.

0:17:520:17:55

22, do you have a visual, over?

0:17:550:18:02

We surface very close

to some icebergs.

0:18:020:18:06

We might have to nudge some ice out

of the way, as well.

0:18:060:18:11

That will be a massive chunk of ice.

0:18:110:18:16

At last, the diver gets

a hook on our sub.

0:18:160:18:23

But then the crane breaks,

we're stranded for an hour.

0:18:230:18:30

It feels good to finally be down.

0:18:300:18:36

That's nice.

0:18:360:18:38

Yeah, yeah.

0:18:380:18:46

We gathered evidence of a unique

ecosystem that deserves protection.

0:18:470:18:49

It's really exciting,

a really dense sea bed full

0:18:490:18:51

of life and huge diversity.

0:18:510:18:53

And also, organisms living together

creating a 3-D structure,

0:18:530:18:55

so more organisms can move and these

can be very vulnerable

0:18:550:18:58

to disturbance and they need

special protection.

0:18:580:19:06

No-one could deny that this

region needs protecting,

0:19:070:19:10

but what is the best way to do it?

0:19:100:19:12

Is a line on a map really

going to make much difference,

0:19:120:19:15

and who is going to police

anything out here?

0:19:150:19:19

The proposal to protect all these

creatures and their world will be

0:19:190:19:22

heard by the Antarctic

nations in October.

0:19:220:19:25

Claire Marshall, BBC News,

the Antarctic Peninsula.

0:19:250:19:28

A brief look at some

of the day's other news stories:

0:19:310:19:34

The Ministry of Defence has regained

control of a defence review

0:19:340:19:37

that was expected to have proposed

major cuts for the Armed Forces.

0:19:370:19:40

It's being seen as a significant

move and a political victory

0:19:400:19:42

for the Defence Secretary,

Gavin Williamson.

0:19:420:19:47

The White House has announced

the first state visit to the US

0:19:470:19:50

since Donald Trump became President.

0:19:500:19:53

The guest - in April -

will be the French President,

0:19:530:19:56

Emmanuel Macron.

0:19:560:19:57

It will include the first

formal dinner hosted

0:19:570:19:59

by President Trump and the First

Lady.

0:19:590:20:03

Labour's main decision-making body,

the National Executive Committee,

0:20:030:20:04

has met for the first time

since three new members -

0:20:040:20:07

all from the grassroots group

Momentum - were elected.

0:20:070:20:11

Momentum's founder, Jon Lansman,

described his election to the NEC

0:20:110:20:14

earlier this month as a victory

for '21st-Century socialism'.

0:20:140:20:19

Phil Neville has been

appointed Head Coach

0:20:190:20:21

of England Women's football team.

0:20:210:20:23

The former Manchester United

and Everton star takes over

0:20:230:20:25

from interim manager Mo Marley,

who has been in charge

0:20:250:20:28

since former boss Mark Sampson's

sacking in September.

0:20:280:20:36

The Norwegian Prime Minister,

Erna Solberg, has told the BBC

0:20:360:20:39

that the UK should push

for a so-called soft Brexit.

0:20:390:20:42

Speaking at the World Economic Forum

in Davos, she said the UK

0:20:420:20:48

was unlikely to get a better deal

than Norway - which is not a member

0:20:480:20:52

of the EU, but is part

of the European Economic Area.

0:20:520:20:54

Ms Solberg was talking

to our economics editor,

0:20:540:20:56

Kamal Ahmed, who's in Davos.

0:20:560:21:02

Thanks very much. The Prime Minister

of Norway said she was offering this

0:21:030:21:09

advice as a friend, from a country

that was very keen to have closer

0:21:090:21:15

economic ties both with the European

Union and with Britain. But she was

0:21:150:21:20

certainly very clear when I caught

up with her earlier today about what

0:21:200:21:23

that advice entailed.

0:21:230:21:25

up with her earlier today

about what that advice entailed.

0:21:250:21:27

We hope that there will be

an agreement that we will call

0:21:270:21:30

a soft Brexit, an agreement that

will not put large barriers

0:21:300:21:33

for the trade inside Europe again.

0:21:330:21:35

That we hope they will

find a good solution.

0:21:350:21:38

And we are both working

well with the British

0:21:380:21:40

and with the EU on that.

0:21:400:21:42

And the EU areunderstanding

that we are integrated

0:21:420:21:44

in the Single Market.

0:21:440:21:46

There are three countries outside

the EU who are following all

0:21:460:21:48

of the internal regulations

on the Single Market.

0:21:480:21:50

And Norway, of course,

has a very large trade

0:21:500:21:52

and activity towards Britain.

0:21:520:21:59

The Norwegian Prime Minister. Now,

tomorrow will be Europe Day. Count

0:21:590:22:06

them, the number of European leaders

arriving here at the World Economic

0:22:060:22:11

Forum, six in total. I have been

coming here nearly ten years and I

0:22:110:22:14

have not seen so many in one day.

The leaders of Germany, France,

0:22:140:22:19

Italy, Poland, Sweden and Greece

will arrive at the World Economic

0:22:190:22:25

Forum. I think they will talk about

globalisation and they will say

0:22:250:22:28

Europe is open for business.

Something of a riposte, I think, to

0:22:280:22:32

that big arrival on Friday,

President Trump, who talks about

0:22:320:22:38

protectionism. Leaders tomorrow in

Europe, I am sure they will touch on

0:22:380:22:43

Brexit, but their big message is,

free trade is good for global growth

0:22:430:22:47

and Europe wants to beat at the

heart of that debate.

0:22:470:22:50

We will catch up again tomorrow,

thank you very much, from Davos.

0:22:500:22:56

One of South Africa's

most famous musicians,

0:22:560:22:58

the jazz trumpeter Hugh Masekela,

has died at the age of 78.

0:22:580:23:03

He fled the country in 1960

and became a prominent campaigner

0:23:030:23:05

against the system of white-minority

rule, known as apartheid.

0:23:050:23:09

His song Bring Him Back Home -

calling for the release

0:23:090:23:11

of Nelson Mandela from prison -

became an international anthem

0:23:110:23:14

for the anti-apartheid movement.

0:23:140:23:18

Today, President Zuma said

Hugh Masekela had 'kept

0:23:180:23:20

the torch of freedom alive',

as Pumza Fihlani reports

0:23:200:23:22

from South Africa.

0:23:220:23:28

The trumpet has finally fallen.

0:23:340:23:36

The passing of Hugh Masekela has

shocked many across the country

0:23:360:23:38

and around the world.

0:23:380:23:40

Bra Hugh, as he was affectionately

known, has been described

0:23:400:23:42

as 'the epitome of a life

lived in full'.

0:23:420:23:50

A family man, a world-renowned

artist, and a philanthropist. The

0:23:530:23:59

78-year-old was diagnosed with

prostate cancer and had put up a

0:23:590:24:03

fierce fight but last October, he

was forced to cancel all his

0:24:030:24:07

concerts and focus on his help.

0:24:070:24:11

Fellow musician and friend

Yvonne Chaka Chaka says Africa has

0:24:110:24:13

lost its greatest treasure.

0:24:130:24:14

I think Uncle Hugh

was a living legend.

0:24:140:24:18

He may be gone, but his music

will always be there.

0:24:180:24:21

The world has lost a great icon.

0:24:210:24:28

The world has lost a leader.

0:24:280:24:29

The world has lost a comedian,

because he was hilarious.

0:24:290:24:36

Where there was Uncle Hugh, there

was just laughter all the time.

0:24:360:24:39

And, erm, I don't know what to say.

0:24:390:24:41

I'm just heartbroken,

I'm upset, but I'll remember

0:24:410:24:43

all the good things that he did.

0:24:430:24:50

Whether you were younger, you are a

diplomat, a King, a leader or a

0:24:500:24:53

street person, you all equal in his

face and he would greet everybody

0:24:530:24:59

and talk to everybody.

I lived in

Liberia, in Senegal.

At the height

0:24:590:25:06

of white oppression in South Africa,

for many black musicians, jazz

0:25:060:25:12

became the soundtrack of the

resistance. Masekela was forced into

0:25:120:25:14

exile as political and racial

tensions increased, but once he

0:25:140:25:19

returned, he was determined to make

a difference.

I need to pay back and

0:25:190:25:26

the only way to pay back, I think,

is by making the people see how

0:25:260:25:30

wonderful they are and how excellent

they are.

He described himself as a

0:25:300:25:36

troublesome child and spoke openly

about the many times music saved his

0:25:360:25:41

life, even later at the height of a

drug addiction. This picture marked

0:25:410:25:45

one of the moment it began when a

missionary Father Trevor Huddleston

0:25:450:25:50

gave him his first trumpet and with

that, the music legend was born. He

0:25:500:25:55

was an unlikely ally at the height

of racial oppression here in South

0:25:550:25:59

Africa. Masekela continued to use as

voice over the years to speak truth

0:25:590:26:03

to power.

0:26:030:26:08

The musician and campaigner

Hugh Masekela, who's

0:26:080:26:10

died at the age of 78.

0:26:100:26:15

Tennis, and Britain's Kyle Edmund

has made spectacular progress

0:26:150:26:18

at the Australian Open,

to reach his first

0:26:180:26:20

Grand Slam semi-final.

0:26:200:26:23

The World Number 49 beat the third

seed, Grigor Dimitrov,

0:26:230:26:25

making him only the sixth British

man to reach the last four

0:26:250:26:28

at a Grand Slam for half a century,

as Joe Wilson reports.

0:26:280:26:36

This is potential realised.

0:26:360:26:37

This is hope made reality.

0:26:370:26:39

This is Kyle Edmund, in Melbourne.

0:26:390:26:40

A big first serve delivers!

0:26:400:26:43

His opponent in the quarterfinal,

Grigor Dimitrov, has been the next

0:26:430:26:45

big thing in men's tennis for years

and he fought back

0:26:450:26:48

to win the second set.

0:26:480:26:49

Closes it out at the

first time of asking.

0:26:490:26:52

But Edmund won the third and found

himself on the brink.

0:26:520:26:57

Edmund's always had power,

but now he has the composure to see

0:26:570:27:01

things through when it gets close -

and this was pretty close.

0:27:010:27:03

He's done it!

0:27:030:27:05

Hang on, wait and see!

0:27:050:27:08

Match point decided

by a Hawk-Eye replay.

0:27:080:27:11

As Andy Murray described

it on Twitter, "Wow!".

0:27:110:27:13

I know what it feels

like to be Andy Murray

0:27:130:27:16

for the last eight years,

or however long!

0:27:160:27:18

LAUGHTER.

0:27:180:27:19

When you're on these type of stages,

you know, you're reaching the last

0:27:190:27:23

stages of the best tournament

in the world, it's obviously very

0:27:230:27:25

pleasing but, of course,

I want to keep going.

0:27:250:27:28

Kyle Edmund may have peaked

on the other side of the world,

0:27:280:27:30

but he was made right

here in Yorkshire.

0:27:300:27:36

As an eight year old,

you may just have spotted him

0:27:360:27:38

on one of these courts.

0:27:380:27:41

And it's here in Beverley

where you'll find a man

0:27:410:27:43

who was hitting against Kyle Edmund

as a boy.

0:27:430:27:45

He's always had the ability.

0:27:450:27:48

I mean, last year, he always seemed

to come off second-best really

0:27:480:27:52

in tight matches.

0:27:520:28:00

Possibly down to the mental side,

which is, the biggest thing I've

0:28:000:28:02

been impressed with him,

his mental side of it and how he's

0:28:020:28:05

applied himself on court.

0:28:050:28:06

Is this success going to change him?

0:28:060:28:08

Er, no, absolutely not.

0:28:080:28:09

He's very grounded,

very level-headed.

0:28:090:28:10

He's quite a shy character.

0:28:100:28:11

As a Junior, Kyle Edmund came

through the British system.

0:28:110:28:14

He's worked hard on his

physique recently.

0:28:140:28:15

Edmund lifted the Davis Cup in 2015,

although the Murray brothers won

0:28:150:28:18

Britain's matches in the final.

0:28:180:28:19

Between tournaments,

you may find Kyle Edmund

0:28:190:28:21

in the Bahamas these days,

but the new star is

0:28:210:28:24

from Beverley's hills.

0:28:240:28:25

Joe Wilson, BBC News, in Yorkshire.

0:28:250:28:30

In Los Angeles, the Oscar

nominations have been announced,

0:28:300:28:32

and leading the field -

with 13 nominations -

0:28:320:28:37

is the fantasy romance

The Shape of Water,

0:28:370:28:39

starring the British

actress Sally Hawkins.

0:28:390:28:40

The Best Actor category is dominated

by British performers -

0:28:400:28:43

with Gary Oldman, Daniel Day-Lewis

and Daniel Kaluuya all nominated.

0:28:430:28:48

And Meryl Streep, who already has

three Oscars to her name,

0:28:480:28:51

has been nominated for the 21st time

in her career - as our arts editor,

0:28:510:28:54

Will Gompertz, tells us.

0:28:540:29:02

Guillermo del Toro's amphibian

fantasy love story The Shape

0:29:040:29:05

of Water leads the way,

with 13 Oscar nominations,

0:29:050:29:08

including Best Picture.

0:29:080:29:09

This is the most sensitive asset

ever to be housed in this facility.

0:29:090:29:12

So, Mildred Hayes, why did you put

up these billboards?

0:29:120:29:14

A category which also sees

the critically acclaimed

0:29:140:29:16

dark comedy thriller

Three Billboards Outside Ebbing,

0:29:160:29:18

Missouri nominated.

0:29:180:29:19

..Saw an actual crime.

0:29:190:29:20

I want to go where culture is...

0:29:200:29:22

As well as the coming-of-age

drama Lady Bird.

0:29:220:29:27

Well, writers live in the woods...

0:29:270:29:29

Good to see an old

brother around here.

0:29:290:29:31

Also short-listed is

the horror mystery Get Out.

0:29:310:29:33

Ah, yes.

0:29:330:29:34

And a couple of British

World War II films.

0:29:340:29:36

Christopher Nolan's Dunkirk.

0:29:360:29:40

When will the lesson be learned?!

0:29:400:29:42

And Joe Wright's the Darkest Hour,

which sees Winston Churchill

0:29:420:29:44

struggling in his early days

as Britain's wartime Prime Minister.

0:29:440:29:49

When your head is in its mouth!

0:29:490:29:51

Several of the scenes

in the Darkest Hour were shot

0:29:510:29:54

in a replica of this place,

the Churchill War Rooms

0:29:540:29:57

in Westminster, where I am

joined by Terri White,

0:29:570:30:00

Editor-in-Chief of the

film magazine Empire.

0:30:000:30:01

Terri, welcome.

0:30:010:30:02

Thank you.

0:30:020:30:04

We're going to go through

the runners and riders,

0:30:040:30:07

starting with Best Film.

0:30:070:30:10

Will Darkest Hour win?

0:30:100:30:11

I actually don't think it will.

0:30:110:30:13

I think we're looking

at a win for Shape of Water,

0:30:130:30:15

the Guillermo del Toro fantasy film.

0:30:150:30:17

But actually, the film I think

should win is Get Out.

0:30:170:30:19

Which has a British rising star,

Daniel Kaluuya, in the lead role.

0:30:190:30:22

He gets a Best Actor nomination.

0:30:220:30:23

I'm certain I was never

meant to marry...

0:30:230:30:26

Along with Daniel Day-Lewis,

for Phantom Thread,

0:30:260:30:31

Timothee Chalamet for

Call Me By Your Name...

0:30:310:30:33

I'm tired of doing the impossible

for the ungrateful...

0:30:330:30:36

Denzel Washington for Roman J.

Israel, Esq.

0:30:360:30:39

Really, yes, sir!

0:30:390:30:42

And Gary Oldman,

for the Darkest Hour.

0:30:420:30:43

I sit in this chair!

0:30:430:30:45

Well, Terri, that's quite

a list for the Best Actor

0:30:450:30:47

and quite a lot of stories.

0:30:470:30:50

Will Daniel Day-Lewis

win yet another Oscar,

0:30:500:30:52

in what will be his last film?

0:30:520:30:53

Will Gary Oldman win

for Churchill, for Darkest Hour,

0:30:530:30:55

in the Cabinet War Rooms?

0:30:550:30:57

Or will it be somebody else?

0:30:570:30:58

I think this is Gary Oldman's year.

0:30:580:31:00

How he's never won

an Oscar is beyond me.

0:31:000:31:02

And Darkest Hour feels

like his finest moment.

0:31:020:31:04

The Best Actress category

is going to be really competitive.

0:31:040:31:06

So, who will win?

0:31:060:31:07

Sally Hawkins, for

The Shape of Water?

0:31:070:31:10

Or Frances McDormand,

for Three Billboards

0:31:100:31:12

Outside Ebbing, Missouri?

0:31:120:31:14

Maybe Margot Robbie, for I, Tonya.

0:31:140:31:17

Or Saoirse Ronan, for Lady Bird.

0:31:170:31:20

Or even perhaps Meryl

Streep, for The Post.

0:31:200:31:22

The position that would put me in...

0:31:220:31:28

Again, that's a really great list.

0:31:280:31:34

Are you going to say we're

going to get another British win -

0:31:340:31:37

Sally Hawkins, in The Shape

of Water, or maybe Meryl Streep?

0:31:370:31:40

No way.

0:31:400:31:41

This year, it's all

about Frances McDormand

0:31:410:31:42

in Three Billboards Outside Ebbing,

Missouri.

0:31:420:31:44

One of the great dramatic

performances of the year.

0:31:440:31:46

Let's start up a database.

0:31:460:31:47

Every baby that was

born, stick 'em on it.

0:31:470:31:49

I suspect she's right.

0:31:490:31:50

We'll find out on the 4th of March,

when the Oscars are awarded,

0:31:500:31:53

and possibly make history...

0:31:530:31:54

You just come back!

0:31:540:31:55

..if Rachel Morrison wins

for her filming work on Mudbound,

0:31:550:31:58

and becomes the first woman ever

to win the Cinematography category.

0:31:580:32:00

Will Gompertz, BBC News.

0:32:000:32:03

Newsnight is coming up on BBC Two.

0:32:030:32:05

But here on BBC One, it's time

for the news where you are.
