0:00:04 > 0:00:07Tonight at 10...
0:00:07 > 0:00:09The Prime Minister says she is not a quitter,
0:00:09 > 0:00:12as she's forced to defend attacks on her leadership.
0:00:12 > 0:00:15On a trade visit to China, Theresa May admitted
0:00:15 > 0:00:18that the Government does need to do more to get its message across.
0:00:20 > 0:00:26I think there are many people in the United Kingdom who want
0:00:26 > 0:00:29ensure that they and their families can achieve British dream,
0:00:29 > 0:00:32of ensuring that each generation has a better future than the past.
0:00:32 > 0:00:34As the Prime Minister announces a series of new trade
0:00:34 > 0:00:36agreements with China, we'll be asking if she can
0:00:36 > 0:00:37overcome her difficulties at home.
0:00:37 > 0:00:45Also tonight...
0:00:45 > 0:00:53This woman gave birth in jail before her trial collapsed. Police and
0:00:53 > 0:00:56prosecutors are criticised over a late disclosure of evidence.
0:00:56 > 0:00:59The BBC's former China editor Carrie Gracie tells MPs she's very
0:00:59 > 0:01:02angry at the way the BBC has treated some of the women it employs.
0:01:02 > 0:01:03Is this an act of terrorism?
0:01:03 > 0:01:05We have a special report on the 16-year-old Palestinian
0:01:05 > 0:01:08girl on trial next week in an Israeli military court.
0:01:08 > 0:01:11And the rare super blue blood moon that has been wowing
0:01:11 > 0:01:13people around the world.
0:01:13 > 0:01:15And coming up on Sportsday on BBC News:
0:01:15 > 0:01:19As that clock ticks on transfer deadline day, the Premier League
0:01:19 > 0:01:22witnessed its fastest goal this season, as Tottenham took an early
0:01:22 > 0:01:28lead against Manchester United.
0:01:43 > 0:01:45Good evening.
0:01:45 > 0:01:47Theresa May has defended her leadership at the start
0:01:47 > 0:01:50of a three-day trade visit to China.
0:01:50 > 0:01:52She insisted to reporters that she "wasn't a quitter",
0:01:52 > 0:01:56following days of criticism from within her own party.
0:01:56 > 0:01:59Speaking in Beijing, the Prime Minister forecast a golden
0:01:59 > 0:02:01era in trade relations between the two countries,
0:02:01 > 0:02:03but admitted that her government had to do more to advance
0:02:03 > 0:02:05its domestic agenda.
0:02:05 > 0:02:06Our political editor Laura Kuenssberg is travelling
0:02:06 > 0:02:10with the Prime Minister.
0:02:10 > 0:02:16Even the most carefully planned entrance can go a touch awry.
0:02:16 > 0:02:21A bit of pushing and shoving, not the political kind this time.
0:02:21 > 0:02:24Asia's red-carpets, though, hardly provide a rest.
0:02:24 > 0:02:28Theresa May's here to do business, but the Tories are trading
0:02:28 > 0:02:32in her future at home.
0:02:32 > 0:02:34She, envious perhaps of that kind of discipline, is trying,
0:02:34 > 0:02:39well, as she might say, to get on with the job.
0:02:39 > 0:02:43Although I may be visiting in winter, I have had
0:02:43 > 0:02:46the warmest of welcomes, for which I am very grateful.
0:02:46 > 0:02:50But to get things done, leaders have to be able to lead.
0:02:50 > 0:02:52The Prime Minister says she will fight on but concedes
0:02:52 > 0:02:53something has to shift.
0:02:53 > 0:02:56Prime Minister, on the journey here you acknowledged that
0:02:56 > 0:03:01you and your government have to do more to be convincing.
0:03:01 > 0:03:04What is it that you plan to do differently and will you stand
0:03:04 > 0:03:07up to your critics?
0:03:07 > 0:03:10I think that there are many people in the United Kingdom who want to
0:03:10 > 0:03:13ensure that they and their families can achieve the British dream,
0:03:13 > 0:03:17of ensuring that each generation has a better future than the past.
0:03:17 > 0:03:20And, yes, we do need to do more, and we do need to ensure
0:03:20 > 0:03:25that we are talking about what we have already achieved.
0:03:25 > 0:03:29But her Chinese counterpart provided cheer...
0:03:29 > 0:03:38Dangling the prospect of a future trade deal after Brexit,
0:03:38 > 0:03:41with the start of formal conversations to scope it out.
0:03:41 > 0:03:43She is not a natural fan of Chinese opera, perhaps,
0:03:43 > 0:03:45or the diplomatic schmooze - there were some
0:03:45 > 0:03:47tricky moments today.
0:03:47 > 0:03:49Conversations turned to human rights, North Korea and the brute
0:03:49 > 0:03:54force of China's steel industry.
0:03:54 > 0:03:57But these are very excited students could be joined by many others.
0:03:57 > 0:04:01Deals for universities, exchange programmes
0:04:01 > 0:04:02and others were announced.
0:04:02 > 0:04:04Have a nice stay in China.
0:04:04 > 0:04:05Thank you, thank you, well done to you.
0:04:05 > 0:04:06Nice to see you!
0:04:06 > 0:04:12Thank you, hello.
0:04:12 > 0:04:15And this group used their high-tech skills to make a model of number
0:04:15 > 0:04:18ten, helpfully pointing out it had an emergency button, if ever
0:04:18 > 0:04:21there was a need for a swift escape.
0:04:21 > 0:04:24There is an emergency button, put there, call the police.
0:04:24 > 0:04:27Right, very good.
0:04:27 > 0:04:32The Prime Minister made very deliberate stops here,
0:04:32 > 0:04:35though, one to the banks of the Yangtze River,
0:04:35 > 0:04:40to share her party's new-found focus on all things green.
0:04:40 > 0:04:45And she hopes by the end of the week to have guaranteed British beef's
0:04:45 > 0:04:48on its way back to China's table after 20 years, and there will have
0:04:48 > 0:04:51been handshakes on at least £9 billion of deals.
0:04:51 > 0:04:56China and Britain not best friends, perhaps, but serious colleagues.
0:04:56 > 0:04:58This place reeks of power - a commodity Theresa May has
0:04:58 > 0:05:03been grappling to hold onto in recent days.
0:05:03 > 0:05:08It's clear the Prime Minister is in no mood to quit,
0:05:08 > 0:05:11but she does seem to acknowledge she has to up her game
0:05:11 > 0:05:15at home, and abroad, to be sure of staying on.
0:05:15 > 0:05:20The historic bling, the flags, the ceremony...
0:05:20 > 0:05:23Delicately choreographed, but easily dismantled.
0:05:23 > 0:05:26The Prime Minister travels with the trappings of office,
0:05:26 > 0:05:28but she's vulnerable - not accompanied by reliable
0:05:28 > 0:05:34long-term support from her own side.
0:05:34 > 0:05:37Laura is in Beijing tonight.
0:05:37 > 0:05:39An important trade mission for the Prime Minister,
0:05:39 > 0:05:45how much are questions about her leadership
0:05:45 > 0:05:52Overshadowing it all?There is certainly no escape from it at all.
0:05:52 > 0:05:56They say it is lonely at the top, maybe there's nothing as lonely as a
0:05:56 > 0:05:59foreign leader thousands of miles from home whilst all sorts of
0:05:59 > 0:06:03shenanigans going on in their party, not just while they are out of sight
0:06:03 > 0:06:06but also while they are asleep in a completely different time zone and
0:06:06 > 0:06:10somehow very cut off from what is going on. Theresa May has made it
0:06:10 > 0:06:14clear she wants people to know she gets set, she understands that
0:06:14 > 0:06:17things haven't been perfect but more than anything else, I think she
0:06:17 > 0:06:23wants to try and show she is cracking on. Number ten believe and
0:06:23 > 0:06:27believe very much they have had good progress so far in those important
0:06:27 > 0:06:33talks on trade this week. They are pushing on to see President Li
0:06:33 > 0:06:36today, one of the most important politicians of the world and have
0:06:36 > 0:06:40made it clear on this trip that Theresa May is in the mood to push
0:06:40 > 0:06:44back at some of the European Union's latest proposals on that transition
0:06:44 > 0:06:48period, believing what they are asking for, in terms of residency
0:06:48 > 0:06:52rights after we leave the EU, is basically not on. There is no sense
0:06:52 > 0:06:57Theresa May is somehow trying to retreat, on the contrary, she is
0:06:57 > 0:07:01trying to pull the levers, get on with things, show on this trip that
0:07:01 > 0:07:04every minute she is busy and it is packed full of events. But the
0:07:04 > 0:07:09difficulty in all of that is she can look busy, she can look like she's
0:07:09 > 0:07:12doing everything, but there is a danger she looks like she's going
0:07:12 > 0:07:17through the motions and somehow she doesn't really understand the extent
0:07:17 > 0:07:21of the despair some parts of her party feel while she is thousands of
0:07:21 > 0:07:25miles away. On this trip she is trying to carve out Britain's place
0:07:25 > 0:07:29in the world but there is no question her immediate priority is
0:07:29 > 0:07:34still carving out and preserving her own place in the party.Our
0:07:34 > 0:07:39political editor Laura Kuenssberg in Beijing, thank you.
0:07:39 > 0:07:41The police and the Crown Prosecution Service have been heavily criticised
0:07:41 > 0:07:44for the second time in a week after the collapse of a trial.
0:07:44 > 0:07:46This one concerned people trafficking.
0:07:46 > 0:07:49One of the women accused of being involved had been locked up
0:07:49 > 0:07:52in custody for more than a year and had even given birth in prison.
0:07:52 > 0:07:54The trial collapsed when thousands of mobile phone messages,
0:07:54 > 0:07:56that were disclosed late, cast doubt on the case.
0:07:56 > 0:07:59It comes after a number of rape cases were also abandoned
0:07:59 > 0:08:01because of disclosure issues.
0:08:01 > 0:08:05Clive Coleman reports.
0:08:05 > 0:08:09I was scared, I was in shock...
0:08:09 > 0:08:11Cristina Bosoanca's story shows the devastating effect that failure
0:08:11 > 0:08:16to disclose evidence can have.
0:08:16 > 0:08:17After 13 tough months in prison, she can
0:08:17 > 0:08:24finally relax with the son she bore there.
0:08:24 > 0:08:28They were bullying me.
0:08:28 > 0:08:31It was difficult when I saw them going to the visits of...
0:08:31 > 0:08:39The prosecution case was based on the
0:08:39 > 0:08:43evidence of a female complainant who claimed
0:08:43 > 0:08:45Cristina Bosoanca trafficked her into the country
0:08:45 > 0:08:46to work as a prostitute.
0:08:46 > 0:08:48She also alleged she was raped by a client and became
0:08:48 > 0:08:50pregnant as a result.
0:08:50 > 0:08:56Christina's lawyers repeatedly told the police
0:08:56 > 0:08:58that there were phoned messages which undermined the woman's story.
0:08:58 > 0:09:02At the beginning, I asked for the phone, I
0:09:02 > 0:09:04asked for the pictures, CCTV, I asked for everything.
0:09:04 > 0:09:08But they were like, they don't care.
0:09:08 > 0:09:16It was only on the second day of the trial that 65,000
0:09:16 > 0:09:24phone messages were disclosed to Cristina's team.
0:09:24 > 0:09:25They fundamentally undermined the claimant's
0:09:25 > 0:09:28account and medical evidence also proved the woman was pregnant before
0:09:28 > 0:09:29coming to the UK.
0:09:29 > 0:09:31The case collapsed on Friday, the judge demanding
0:09:31 > 0:09:35police and prosecutors come to court today to explain.
0:09:35 > 0:09:37In court, the judge said there had been a
0:09:37 > 0:09:41wholesale failure of disclosure, and serious and repeated
0:09:41 > 0:09:46errors by both the police and the Crown Prosecution Service.
0:09:46 > 0:09:50Under oath,
0:09:50 > 0:09:53a senior crown it apologised and said a full review
0:09:53 > 0:09:56was taking place and a report would been sent to the Director of Public
0:09:56 > 0:09:57Prosecutions.
0:09:57 > 0:09:59This is not an isolated case and whatever the
0:09:59 > 0:10:03findings are in this case, they are symptomatic of a problem
0:10:03 > 0:10:05that has been developing over the last 6-8 years.
0:10:05 > 0:10:10The Government brought in a series of cuts which have resulted
0:10:10 > 0:10:11in underfunding and under resourcing for
0:10:11 > 0:10:13the Metropolitan Police, the CPS,
0:10:13 > 0:10:15and the criminal justice system as a whole.
0:10:15 > 0:10:18What do you think of British justice, having been through the
0:10:18 > 0:10:19process that you've been through?
0:10:19 > 0:10:24I really don't know.
0:10:24 > 0:10:28I don't want to say something rude.
0:10:28 > 0:10:33If they think someone needs to be punished for
0:10:33 > 0:10:39something, they need to be sure.
0:10:39 > 0:10:44Cristina's experience shows disclosure failures go beyond recent
0:10:44 > 0:10:48highly publicised rape cases, there are likely to be more
0:10:48 > 0:10:51examples, each one affecting the lives of those charged, and their
0:10:51 > 0:10:55families.
0:10:55 > 0:10:57Clive Coleman, BBC News.
0:10:57 > 0:10:59Nearly £1 billion has been wiped off the value
0:10:59 > 0:11:01of the out-sourcing company, Capita, which provides
0:11:01 > 0:11:03services to both the public and private sectors,
0:11:03 > 0:11:06after it issued a profits warning for the coming year.
0:11:06 > 0:11:09The company, which employs 50,000 people in the UK, has also
0:11:09 > 0:11:11announced a drastic overhaul of the business.
0:11:11 > 0:11:13Our Business Editor Simon Jack is here.
0:11:13 > 0:11:18Simon, are we looking at another Carillion here?
0:11:18 > 0:11:23Some things feel eerily similar, don't they? For example, big profit
0:11:23 > 0:11:27warning, crash in the share price, nearly 50% today, 80% over the last
0:11:27 > 0:11:31year. Big public outsourcing contracts that it has, then it looks
0:11:31 > 0:11:36and feels the same. But there are major differences. It doesn't have
0:11:36 > 0:11:39those very risky construction contracts which can go wrong and
0:11:39 > 0:11:45today some of the measures that the company took, while painful for
0:11:45 > 0:11:47shareholders, is precisely what Carillion should have done two or
0:11:47 > 0:11:50three years ago. They have cut the dividend while they still have
0:11:50 > 0:11:55plenty of money in the bank, £1 billion, they are raising £700
0:11:55 > 0:11:57million in new equity capital, which means you don't have to pay it back
0:11:57 > 0:12:01and they are going to go through all those contracts won by one. So very
0:12:01 > 0:12:05painful, looks a bit scary but a very different animal, I would say,
0:12:05 > 0:12:10to Carillion. One thing I would say it is given the fact that government
0:12:10 > 0:12:12got the continuing to award contracts to Carillion after a
0:12:12 > 0:12:17profit warning, will they be able to get public-sector contracts just as
0:12:17 > 0:12:21easily? I think those conversations will be a lot more tricky post
0:12:21 > 0:12:25Carillion than they were before but I would say a different beast for
0:12:25 > 0:12:27now.Jack, thank you.
0:12:27 > 0:12:30The journalist Carrie Gracie, who resigned as the BBC's China
0:12:30 > 0:12:32Editor in protest at unequal pay, has accused the corporation
0:12:32 > 0:12:34of having an illegal pay culture.
0:12:34 > 0:12:36Appearing before the Commons culture committee this afternoon,
0:12:36 > 0:12:40she said the BBC's response to her grievance that she was paid
0:12:40 > 0:12:43less than her male counterparts had been "an insult".
0:12:43 > 0:12:46The Director General, Lord Hall, who also appeared,
0:12:46 > 0:12:48said it was "wrong" that she had been underpaid.
0:12:48 > 0:12:53Our media editor Amol Rajan reports.
0:12:53 > 0:12:55A united front.
0:12:55 > 0:12:59Several of the most high-profile female presenters on BBC News
0:12:59 > 0:13:01were in Westminster today to support their colleague,
0:13:01 > 0:13:03Carrie Gracie.
0:13:03 > 0:13:06REPORTER:Do the BBC need to do more on equal pay for women?
0:13:06 > 0:13:08That's why we're here to support Carrie.
0:13:08 > 0:13:13Thank you.
0:13:13 > 0:13:16I was appointed China editor...
0:13:16 > 0:13:19She resigned her post as China editor in protest at unequal pay.
0:13:19 > 0:13:22In blistering testimony to a select committee of MPs, she accused
0:13:22 > 0:13:24the BBC of institutionalised discrimination when it had
0:13:24 > 0:13:27paid her less than other international editors.
0:13:27 > 0:13:29We knew there was inequality.
0:13:29 > 0:13:33We didn't know the details, because the BBC is extremely
0:13:33 > 0:13:40secretive on pay, but we knew we were underpaid.
0:13:40 > 0:13:42I was determined at this point, where I knew
0:13:42 > 0:13:45I would give the China job every last ounce of my skill
0:13:45 > 0:13:49and stamina, I knew I would do that job at least as well as any man.
0:13:49 > 0:13:51The corporation's dealing with her grievance was, she said,
0:13:51 > 0:13:52insultingly shambolic.
0:13:52 > 0:13:54And she added that she'd be declining nearly
0:13:54 > 0:13:55£100,000 in back pay.
0:13:55 > 0:13:58I have said I don't want that money.
0:13:58 > 0:14:02That's not what it's about for me.
0:14:02 > 0:14:04I feel my salary's a good salary, it's public money.
0:14:04 > 0:14:07That's not what it was about.
0:14:07 > 0:14:11They are still not giving me a quality.
0:14:11 > 0:14:12-- equality.
0:14:12 > 0:14:15And in a concerted attack against BBC management,
0:14:15 > 0:14:18she said that for years it had created a fortress to keep
0:14:18 > 0:14:19out ordinary staff.
0:14:19 > 0:14:21I was so distraught by what had happened.
0:14:21 > 0:14:24Anyway...
0:14:24 > 0:14:27Then I thought, "No, I have to fight."
0:14:27 > 0:14:29Gracie's grilling went on for two and a half hours.
0:14:29 > 0:14:31When said management emerged in the afternoon,
0:14:31 > 0:14:35the director-general apologised for the situation.
0:14:35 > 0:14:39I'm sorry it went to a grievance and I said up front at the beginning
0:14:39 > 0:14:42I'd very much like to resolve the case of Carrie Gracie with her.
0:14:42 > 0:14:45And I'm sorry this has taken so long, and I'm sorry we're
0:14:45 > 0:14:46in this position, yes.
0:14:46 > 0:14:49He went on to explain for the first time in public why the BBC believe
0:14:49 > 0:14:53there is a hierarchy of roles among correspondents.
0:14:53 > 0:14:57The idea that every single editor - home and abroad, I would imagine -
0:14:57 > 0:15:01should be paid exactly the same, I don't agree with.
0:15:01 > 0:15:05It should not be a matter of gender, completely agree,
0:15:05 > 0:15:10outrageous if it was but, you know, you have balances
0:15:10 > 0:15:12between different editors and we need to be very up front
0:15:12 > 0:15:15about what that, as it were, pecking order is.
0:15:15 > 0:15:17There are two parallel conversations happening today.
0:15:17 > 0:15:19Carrie Gracie spoke powerfully about the wider implications
0:15:19 > 0:15:21of her own case and also the accumulated
0:15:21 > 0:15:24failures of the past.
0:15:24 > 0:15:26But the BBC management wanted to focus on the future.
0:15:26 > 0:15:28They want to shift this story from the injustices
0:15:28 > 0:15:30faced by Carrie Gracie, to their new framework
0:15:30 > 0:15:32for greater transparency.
0:15:32 > 0:15:36The trouble is, many staff here have other ideas.
0:15:36 > 0:15:39The BBC has a clear plan and is largely ahead of the industry
0:15:39 > 0:15:41on gender inequality.
0:15:41 > 0:15:44Though Carrie Gracie's case remains far from resolved, or unique.
0:15:44 > 0:15:46Amol Rajan, BBC News.
0:15:51 > 0:15:54President Trump has used his first State of the Union address to call
0:15:54 > 0:15:58on Republicans and Democrats to work together to rebuild American
0:15:58 > 0:16:02industries and to fix the country's immigration system.
0:16:02 > 0:16:05He said he'd advanced his mission to "make America great again"
0:16:05 > 0:16:07with record tax cuts, a booming stock market
0:16:07 > 0:16:09and a fall in unemployment.
0:16:09 > 0:16:12But Democrats say he has left the nation fractured.
0:16:12 > 0:16:13Our North America editor, Jon Sopel, reports.
0:16:13 > 0:16:18APPLAUSE
0:16:18 > 0:16:21The pugilist president last night wearing a different guise.
0:16:21 > 0:16:24Forget the street fighter, Donald Trump had come to Congress
0:16:24 > 0:16:27as father of the nation - there to bind wounds,
0:16:27 > 0:16:29a message of unity, wanting to help everyone.
0:16:29 > 0:16:33This in fact is our new American moment.
0:16:33 > 0:16:40There has never been a better time to start living the American dream.
0:16:40 > 0:16:44So to every citizen watching at home tonight, no matter where you've been
0:16:44 > 0:16:48or where you've come from, this is your time.
0:16:48 > 0:16:51If you work hard, if you believe in yourself,
0:16:51 > 0:16:56if you believe in America, then you can dream anything.
0:16:56 > 0:17:01You can be anything and together we can achieve absolutely anything.
0:17:01 > 0:17:07APPLAUSE
0:17:07 > 0:17:09Republicans loved it.
0:17:09 > 0:17:12He did a victory lap on the growth of the economy.
0:17:12 > 0:17:16He called for measures to rebuild America's infrastructure.
0:17:16 > 0:17:18And in Washington's highly polarised politics, he called
0:17:18 > 0:17:20for a new spirit of co-operation.
0:17:20 > 0:17:23I want our youth to grow up, to achieve great things.
0:17:23 > 0:17:30I want our poor to have their chance to rise.
0:17:30 > 0:17:34So tonight I am extending an open hand to work
0:17:34 > 0:17:39with members of both parties, Democrats and Republicans,
0:17:39 > 0:17:41to protect our citizens of every background,
0:17:41 > 0:17:46colour, religion and creed.
0:17:46 > 0:17:48But though he appealed for the parties to work
0:17:48 > 0:17:50together on immigration, there was little of substance that
0:17:50 > 0:17:53would win over Democrats, who sat stony-faced through much
0:17:53 > 0:17:55of the speech.
0:17:55 > 0:17:58Hundreds of miles north, in Massachusetts, a young ambitious
0:17:58 > 0:18:01Congressman was giving the Democratic Party's response.
0:18:01 > 0:18:04Joseph Kennedy III, grandson of Bobby, great nephew
0:18:04 > 0:18:06of President John F Kennedy.
0:18:06 > 0:18:11Bullies may land a punch, they may leave a mark,
0:18:11 > 0:18:15but they have never, not once - in the history
0:18:15 > 0:18:19of our United States - managed to match the strength
0:18:19 > 0:18:22and spirit of a people united in defence of their future.
0:18:22 > 0:18:24Joe Kennedy is seeking to broaden the Democratic Party's appeal,
0:18:24 > 0:18:27to bring in more young people and minorities.
0:18:27 > 0:18:32Donald Trump is trying to widen the base of his support.
0:18:32 > 0:18:36What both Republicans and Democrats are engaged in is a battle
0:18:36 > 0:18:38for November's midterm elections, which could fundamentally alter
0:18:38 > 0:18:41the trajectory of this presidency.
0:18:41 > 0:18:48Jon Sopel, BBC News, Washington.
0:18:48 > 0:18:52Is a slap an act of terrorism?
0:18:52 > 0:18:55Next week, a 16-year-old Palestinian girl will go on trial in an Israeli
0:18:55 > 0:18:58military court for a range of security offences
0:18:58 > 0:19:02after she was filmed slapping an Israeli soldier.
0:19:02 > 0:19:05The video of the Palestinian teenager, Ahed Tamimi,
0:19:05 > 0:19:08which was filmed by her mother, went viral and they
0:19:08 > 0:19:09were both arrested.
0:19:09 > 0:19:13Our Middle East editor, Jeremy Bowen, reports
0:19:13 > 0:19:16from their home village Nebi Saleh, on the Israeli-occupied West Bank.
0:19:16 > 0:19:21Any peace in Nebi Saleh on a cold winter day is an illusion.
0:19:21 > 0:19:25It's a small Palestinian village on the West Bank,
0:19:25 > 0:19:32a sharp thorn in the side of its occupier, Israel.
0:19:33 > 0:19:39The people here refuse to give in to Israel's overwhelming power.
0:19:39 > 0:19:46For some Israelis, that makes them terrorists.
0:19:46 > 0:19:51An Israeli soldier shot Mohammed Tamimi, 15 years old,
0:19:51 > 0:19:55in the face with a rubber coated metal bullet.
0:19:55 > 0:19:59Surgeons took the bullet out of Mohammed's brain,
0:19:59 > 0:20:02along with part of his skull.
0:20:02 > 0:20:05The Tamimi family lead the protests in the village,
0:20:05 > 0:20:09many of them have been imprisoned by Israel for security offences.
0:20:09 > 0:20:14Mohammed was jailed for three months last year.
0:20:14 > 0:20:19He was rushed to hospital after he was shot during
0:20:19 > 0:20:22a demonstration in Nebi Saleh, on the 15th December.
0:20:22 > 0:20:25The village was protesting against President Trump's decision
0:20:25 > 0:20:29to recognise Jerusalem as Israel's capital.
0:20:29 > 0:20:35Ahed Tamimi, his cousin, a seasoned activist at 16 years old,
0:20:35 > 0:20:40told two Israeli soldiers to get off her family's property,
0:20:40 > 0:20:45she'd just heard, wrongly, that Mohammed had died.
0:20:45 > 0:20:52After one soldier swatted her away, she slapped him.
0:20:52 > 0:20:55Once the video had gone viral, Ahed with arrested with her mother
0:20:55 > 0:20:58Nariman, who did the filming.
0:20:58 > 0:21:00They're charged with security offences and face jail.
0:21:00 > 0:21:05Ahed's father, Bassem Tamimi, an activist who's also
0:21:05 > 0:21:10served time in prison, has been taking to her to
0:21:10 > 0:21:15demonstrations since she was small.
0:21:15 > 0:21:18Lots of people would say that if you slap a soldier,
0:21:18 > 0:21:20in any country, you'll get into trouble.
0:21:20 > 0:21:25So it's no surprise that the Israelis have put her on trial.
0:21:25 > 0:21:33She can't accept a hard man to come to her field.
0:21:35 > 0:21:42This is the occupier law, and we are resisting.
0:21:42 > 0:21:43That's our duty and responsibility.
0:21:43 > 0:21:46We can't give our enemy a rose when he come to kill us.
0:21:46 > 0:21:48So this is where it happened, in the driveway
0:21:48 > 0:21:49of the Tamimi's house.
0:21:49 > 0:21:51The incident says a lot about the conflict.
0:21:51 > 0:21:54The imbalance of force, the way it's invaded the lives
0:21:54 > 0:21:56of yet another generation and the bleakness of a future
0:21:56 > 0:22:01with no prospect of peace.
0:22:01 > 0:22:04Very close to Nebi Saleh is a Jewish settlement,
0:22:04 > 0:22:06illegal under international law.
0:22:06 > 0:22:10Last summer, a Palestinian from another village killed three
0:22:10 > 0:22:14members of a family there.
0:22:14 > 0:22:17This area is always tense and the army's main job
0:22:17 > 0:22:19is to guard the settlers.
0:22:19 > 0:22:23Like all West Bank Palestinians, Ahed Tamimi is being tried
0:22:23 > 0:22:28in a military court, which usually convicts.
0:22:28 > 0:22:31More than 300 Palestinians, under 18, are serving time
0:22:31 > 0:22:35as security prisoners.
0:22:35 > 0:22:37Some Israelis are horrified by the imprisonment of children,
0:22:37 > 0:22:42but most feel that she should be punished and perhaps her family too.
0:22:42 > 0:22:45If I was there, she would finish in the hospital, for sure.
0:22:45 > 0:22:48Nobody could stop me.
0:22:48 > 0:22:51I would kick, kick her face.
0:22:51 > 0:22:53Believe me.
0:22:53 > 0:22:54She's a 16-year-old girl.
0:22:54 > 0:22:58No, I don't look at it like this because today,
0:22:58 > 0:23:03as a 16-year-old girl, she punched a soldier,
0:23:03 > 0:23:05tomorrow she will stick a knife in his throat.
0:23:05 > 0:23:07They say they're taking part in peaceful protest.
0:23:07 > 0:23:10You see me smiling.
0:23:10 > 0:23:13If this is peaceful protest, I don't want to imagine
0:23:13 > 0:23:15what is not a peaceful protest.
0:23:15 > 0:23:16A slap isn't terrorism.
0:23:16 > 0:23:18No, a slap is terrorism.
0:23:18 > 0:23:19Believe me.
0:23:19 > 0:23:22A slap is terrorism.
0:23:22 > 0:23:25No peace process exists any more and reviving one looks
0:23:25 > 0:23:27less and less likely.
0:23:27 > 0:23:33The future of the next generation is going to be difficult.
0:23:33 > 0:23:38Incidents like this show the level of tension and anger that's
0:23:38 > 0:23:43just below the surface.
0:23:43 > 0:23:46Palestinian lives are dominated by the occupation, but keeping
0:23:46 > 0:23:49a people under military rule for 50 years has also had
0:23:49 > 0:23:52a profound effect on Israel.
0:23:52 > 0:23:55Without change for the better, the risk is that the West Bank will
0:23:55 > 0:23:56slide into more serious violence.
0:23:56 > 0:24:04Jeremy Bowen, BBC News, Nebi Saleh.
0:24:10 > 0:24:12A long-running public inquiry in Northern Ireland has found
0:24:12 > 0:24:14that the deaths of four children at a Belfast hospital
0:24:14 > 0:24:15were avoidable.
0:24:15 > 0:24:18The inquiry investigated the deaths of five children between 1996
0:24:18 > 0:24:23and 2003 and took 14 years to complete.
0:24:23 > 0:24:25The chairman made damning criticisms of hospital staff,
0:24:25 > 0:24:26managers and officials, saying families had been
0:24:26 > 0:24:34deliberately misled.
0:24:34 > 0:24:35The International Development Minister, Lord Bates, stunned
0:24:35 > 0:24:38colleagues in the House of Lords this afternoon by resigning
0:24:38 > 0:24:46because he was late to the chamber to answer questions.
0:24:46 > 0:24:51I'm thoroughly ashamed for not being in my place and will be offering my
0:24:51 > 0:24:56resignation to the Prime Minister.
0:24:59 > 0:25:05Tonight Downing Street announced they had
0:25:05 > 0:25:07rejected his resignation saying it was "unnecessary".
0:25:07 > 0:25:09Lord Bates will now continue in his role.
0:25:09 > 0:25:12will see a loss of valuable British influence in the fight against crime
0:25:12 > 0:25:16The head of Europol fears the UK's departure from the European Union
0:25:16 > 0:25:20will see a loss of valuable British influence in the fight against crime
0:25:20 > 0:25:21and international terrorism.
0:25:21 > 0:25:23The Government says it is optimistic that an ambitious new security
0:25:23 > 0:25:24treaty can be agreed.
0:25:24 > 0:25:27With 14 months to go until Brexit, our home editor, Mark Easton,
0:25:27 > 0:25:30takes a closer look at the potential impact Brexit could
0:25:30 > 0:25:31have on security.
0:25:31 > 0:25:32His report contains some flashing images.
0:25:32 > 0:25:34After the Manchester Arena bombing last year, hundreds of messages
0:25:34 > 0:25:36were sent to Europol HQ in The Hague.
0:25:36 > 0:25:38Britain's liaison team there contacted counterparts
0:25:38 > 0:25:39across Europe, trawling EU databases, tracking
0:25:39 > 0:25:40possible accomplices.
0:25:40 > 0:25:42As a trusted Europol member, the information
0:25:42 > 0:25:43was available immediately.
0:25:43 > 0:25:46For almost nine years, Europol has been headed by a Brit,
0:25:46 > 0:25:49but he leaves in a few weeks, warning that a post-Brexit Europol
0:25:49 > 0:25:52will be less concerned about UK security priorities.
0:25:52 > 0:25:56There will be a loss of British influence,
0:25:56 > 0:25:58and I think it's a shame for the UK.
0:25:58 > 0:26:01I think it's actually a shame for our European partners as well.
0:26:01 > 0:26:05We'll find other ways perhaps of influencing,
0:26:05 > 0:26:07even more informal ways, but they will be less
0:26:07 > 0:26:09direct, less pronounced and probably less successful
0:26:09 > 0:26:11than they are now of course.
0:26:11 > 0:26:13So, we need to fetch his fingerprints...
0:26:13 > 0:26:15Officers at the UK's National Crime Agency are accessing
0:26:15 > 0:26:20Europol databases every day and fear moving from 'member status'
0:26:20 > 0:26:24to what's called 'operational status' will make it harder to keep
0:26:24 > 0:26:25British citizens safe.
0:26:25 > 0:26:28Thank you, bye.
0:26:28 > 0:26:31At the minute, we've got a really good relationship with EU partners,
0:26:31 > 0:26:34everyone works on the same platforms, everyone
0:26:34 > 0:26:36works to the same rules.
0:26:36 > 0:26:40Any lessening of the relationship which would affect operational
0:26:40 > 0:26:42impact and responsiveness and our ability to protect
0:26:42 > 0:26:46the public would be the concern.
0:26:46 > 0:26:49Operation Captura has tracked down dozens of British criminal fugitives
0:26:49 > 0:26:52on the continent and brought them to justice.
0:26:52 > 0:26:56It's relied on access to EU quick time information
0:26:56 > 0:26:59and the European arrest warrant.
0:26:59 > 0:27:02The Government says such operations should be no less
0:27:02 > 0:27:03effective after Brexit.
0:27:03 > 0:27:05We can make this simple by simply saying, let's go straight
0:27:05 > 0:27:09to a security treaty that allows us to preserve these capabilities
0:27:09 > 0:27:13because we value them, because they work, and a large part
0:27:13 > 0:27:18of why they work is because of the British contribution.
0:27:18 > 0:27:23In leaving the EU, Britain will give up its place
0:27:23 > 0:27:25in the Europol boardroom, where representatives
0:27:25 > 0:27:30from EU states discuss how to protect their citizens
0:27:30 > 0:27:31from the growing threats of cross-border crime
0:27:31 > 0:27:33and international terrorism.
0:27:33 > 0:27:37We don't just lose our seat here at Europol,
0:27:37 > 0:27:40deciding on the priorities of this organisation.
0:27:40 > 0:27:45The Union flag will be removed from boardroom tables at a whole
0:27:45 > 0:27:48range of EU bodies which decide on the data rules and the protocols
0:27:48 > 0:27:52which must be met to be involved in intelligence sharing.
0:27:52 > 0:27:55UK law enforcement officers are able to exchange information...
0:27:55 > 0:27:57The Government, however, is optimistic that it's
0:27:57 > 0:28:00in everyone's interest to agree a deal that preserves
0:28:00 > 0:28:01the status quo.
0:28:01 > 0:28:03I don't necessarily accept that assumption that we will not be able
0:28:03 > 0:28:06to influence the rules.
0:28:06 > 0:28:09We influence the rules at the moment.
0:28:09 > 0:28:11We're going into this negotiation saying what we've got works,
0:28:11 > 0:28:14part of why it works is because of the British influence
0:28:14 > 0:28:18and our contribution.
0:28:18 > 0:28:20The shared threat from terrorism and cross-border crime means
0:28:20 > 0:28:24it is likely a key player like the UK will be able
0:28:24 > 0:28:27to negotiate some sort of special deal with the EU after Brexit.
0:28:27 > 0:28:29But it will be hard for British law enforcement officials
0:28:29 > 0:28:33to maintain their agility and their influence.
0:28:33 > 0:28:37Mark Easton, BBC News.
0:28:37 > 0:28:40Football now, and the January transfer window closes in England
0:28:40 > 0:28:42in just over half an hour.
0:28:42 > 0:28:46Spending has been record breaking.
0:28:46 > 0:28:50The most expensive signing so far today is Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang,
0:28:50 > 0:28:53who is moving from Borussia Dortmund to Arsenal for £56 million.
0:28:53 > 0:28:56The club described him as "one of the world's most
0:28:56 > 0:29:00highly-rated strikers."
0:29:00 > 0:29:03If it's not too cloudy where you are, you may have been
0:29:03 > 0:29:07lucky to catch a glimpse of a rare lunar event tonight.
0:29:07 > 0:29:09It's called the Super Blue Blood moon.
0:29:09 > 0:29:13This is a live shot of it in the skies over central London now.
0:29:13 > 0:29:18The sight has dazzled skywatchers around the world.
0:29:18 > 0:29:21It's when there's a second full moon in the same month and when it's
0:29:21 > 0:29:24closest to the Earth in orbit, making it look much
0:29:24 > 0:29:26brighter and bigger.
0:29:26 > 0:29:29They've coincided with a lunar eclipse, which has given it
0:29:29 > 0:29:34a reddish glow in some parts of the world.
0:29:34 > 0:29:38Hull won its bid to be 2017 UK City of Culture with a promise to show
0:29:38 > 0:29:40"a city coming out of the shadows."
0:29:40 > 0:29:43A year later, many areas of the city have indeed been regenerated.
0:29:43 > 0:29:46Hull has been supported by an army of volunteers and it's managed
0:29:46 > 0:29:54to attract top talent from across the UK.
0:29:55 > 0:29:57Among them, the award-winning playwright James Graham,
0:29:57 > 0:29:58who studied in the city.
0:29:58 > 0:30:00His latest work, The Culture, has opened in Hull.
0:30:00 > 0:30:02He's been talking about that and Hull's cultural legacy
0:30:02 > 0:30:04with our arts editor, Will Gompertz.
0:30:04 > 0:30:07Hull is reflecting on its year in the limelight, which saw
0:30:07 > 0:30:10the Turner Prize come to its refurbished art gallery,
0:30:10 > 0:30:15new public spaces created and music on the streets.
0:30:15 > 0:30:18A lot of people visited, including Banksy.
0:30:18 > 0:30:21And James Graham, one of the country's leading
0:30:21 > 0:30:24playwrights, who has written A Farce, that looks back on Hull's
0:30:24 > 0:30:27year as City of Culture and its organisers' obsession
0:30:27 > 0:30:28with monitoring and evaluation.
0:30:28 > 0:30:31What a pleasure it is to meet someone so senior in the civil
0:30:31 > 0:30:34service, who embraces systems thinking and statistical
0:30:34 > 0:30:37analysis when it comes to the quantifiable impact of art.
0:30:37 > 0:30:40It's kind of my thing.
0:30:40 > 0:30:42What do you think the legacy of the City of Culture
0:30:42 > 0:30:44in Hull's going to be?
0:30:44 > 0:30:46The main legacy will be the audience, developing an audience
0:30:46 > 0:30:48and breaking down some of those psychological barriers that says
0:30:48 > 0:30:50culture is a different thing.
0:30:50 > 0:30:52This is outrageous.
0:30:52 > 0:30:54It's a joke!
0:30:54 > 0:30:56The Hull sense of humour, it has to be funny.
0:30:56 > 0:30:58Culture, that's what my data says.
0:30:58 > 0:31:01It's about breaking down this idea that it has to be elitist and Hull
0:31:01 > 0:31:04is the perfect place for that, because it's always had a strong
0:31:04 > 0:31:07working-class tradition of writers.
0:31:07 > 0:31:09Art is everywhere, that's what we're told in our training.
0:31:09 > 0:31:13Well, there's never been anything on Summergangs Road - ever!
0:31:13 > 0:31:20People are a bit worried that it's been so extraordinary,
0:31:20 > 0:31:23it's beaten all expectations, and the complacency that might
0:31:23 > 0:31:26come from that might mean that day by day,
0:31:26 > 0:31:29week by week, we don't keep going, we don't keep
0:31:29 > 0:31:31fighting for audiences.
0:31:31 > 0:31:34Ooh, here's me volunteering at the Turner Prize.
0:31:34 > 0:31:37Ooh, here's me with another robot...
0:31:37 > 0:31:41The play lovingly satirises the full blooded enthusiasm of Hull's Day-Glo
0:31:41 > 0:31:45dressed army of volunteer guides, some of whom were in the audience.
0:31:45 > 0:31:46So you were a volunteer?
0:31:46 > 0:31:48I was.
0:31:48 > 0:31:49How did you find the play?
0:31:49 > 0:31:52I found it very funny.
0:31:52 > 0:31:56And quite affecting towards the end, because we put a lot into it
0:31:56 > 0:32:02and we loved doing it and we think we have helped make Hull better.
0:32:02 > 0:32:05The one thing right the end, especially for me, was the fact
0:32:05 > 0:32:10that they were talking about how bad people think Hull was before.
0:32:10 > 0:32:15Nobody wanted to go to Hull, and everything has changed.
0:32:15 > 0:32:20And that, to me, was the essence of it.
0:32:20 > 0:32:23So there you have it, an assessment of Hull's year as City
0:32:23 > 0:32:25of Culture in a sentence.
0:32:25 > 0:32:28Or, alternatively, you could read the mountains of data
0:32:28 > 0:32:31produced by the monitoring and evaluation team.
