0:00:05 > 0:00:08A war of words breaks out, as President Trump attacks the FBI
0:00:08 > 0:00:10and his own Justice Department.
0:00:10 > 0:00:14It involves a declassified memo, which Trump claims shows the FBI
0:00:14 > 0:00:16is biased against him.
0:00:16 > 0:00:19I think it's a disgrace, what's happening in our country,
0:00:19 > 0:00:22and when you look at that and you see that and so many other
0:00:22 > 0:00:25things what's going on, a lot of people should be
0:00:25 > 0:00:28ashamed of themselves.
0:00:28 > 0:00:31The Democrats accuse Trump of trying to derail the investigation
0:00:31 > 0:00:35into alleged collusion with Russia to rig the presidential election.
0:00:35 > 0:00:38Also tonight: The man who drove into worshippers outside a mosque
0:00:38 > 0:00:40is sentenced to life.
0:00:40 > 0:00:43The family of the man he murdered express their grief.
0:00:43 > 0:00:46He'll never be forgotten.
0:00:46 > 0:00:48He will always stay in our hearts.
0:00:48 > 0:00:52His laughter will echo the walls of our home.
0:00:52 > 0:00:55At the end of her visit to China, the Prime Minister refuses to be
0:00:55 > 0:01:01drawn on what trade deal she wants with the EU, post-Brexit.
0:01:01 > 0:01:04Rage boils over in court from a father of three girls
0:01:04 > 0:01:08abused by the doctor of the American gymnastics team.
0:01:08 > 0:01:10And Six Nations hopes are high in Scotland that this
0:01:10 > 0:01:14is their best team ever.
0:01:14 > 0:01:19And coming up on Sportsday on BBC News, Cameron's clay-court classic.
0:01:19 > 0:01:21Norrie levels Great Britain's Davis Cup tie against Spain with a
0:01:21 > 0:01:29fantastic five set fightback.
0:01:43 > 0:01:44Good evening.
0:01:44 > 0:01:48Just days after he called for unity in his State of the Union address,
0:01:48 > 0:01:50President Trump is embroiled in a bitter war of words with
0:01:50 > 0:01:53the FBI and the Justice Department.
0:01:53 > 0:01:56It involves a classified memo which President Trump claims reveals
0:01:56 > 0:02:00political bias against him by the FBI.
0:02:00 > 0:02:03They say the memo is selective, inaccurate, and that the president
0:02:03 > 0:02:06is reckless in making it public.
0:02:06 > 0:02:08The Democrats are claiming it's all designed to discredit
0:02:08 > 0:02:11the investigation taking place into alleged collusion between
0:02:11 > 0:02:15the Trump campaign and Russia to sway the 2016 general election.
0:02:15 > 0:02:17Our Washington correspondent, Nick Bryant, tries to
0:02:17 > 0:02:20make sense of it all.
0:02:20 > 0:02:24Ladies and gentlemen, Punxsutawney Phil!
0:02:24 > 0:02:29It's Groundhog Day in America, when thousands gathered to watch a
0:02:29 > 0:02:31rodent named Punxsutawney Phil make his annual prediction about how long
0:02:31 > 0:02:36the winter will last.
0:02:36 > 0:02:38In Washington, too, a feeling of deja vu with the
0:02:38 > 0:02:41day beginning as it often does, with an attack
0:02:41 > 0:02:42from the White House on
0:02:42 > 0:02:43the Russian investigation.
0:02:43 > 0:02:45But this has intensified the big chill
0:02:45 > 0:02:48between the president and his senior law enforcement officials.
0:02:48 > 0:02:52The top leadership and investigators at the
0:02:52 > 0:02:55FBI and Justice Department has politicised the sacred investigative
0:02:55 > 0:02:58process in favour of Democrats and against Republicans.
0:02:58 > 0:03:00Something which would have been unthinkable
0:03:00 > 0:03:07just a short time ago.
0:03:07 > 0:03:09That's the main accusation of a secret Republican
0:03:09 > 0:03:12memo, which the president authorised the public release of today, it
0:03:12 > 0:03:14alleges an anti-Trump bias among top law enforcement officials.
0:03:14 > 0:03:16I think it's a disgrace what's happening in
0:03:16 > 0:03:18our country.
0:03:18 > 0:03:21And when you look at that and you see that and so many
0:03:21 > 0:03:24other things, what's going on, a lot of people should be ashamed of
0:03:24 > 0:03:26themselves.
0:03:26 > 0:03:28And much worse than that.
0:03:28 > 0:03:29The memo, commissioned by a Republican
0:03:29 > 0:03:37congressman, accuses the
0:03:38 > 0:03:40FBI of using a politically biased source, while seeking surveillance
0:03:40 > 0:03:42warrants against the Trump campaign adviser, Carter Page.
0:03:42 > 0:03:45It alleges the request to the court relied on a
0:03:45 > 0:03:47much disputed Trump dossier compiled by former British intelligent agent
0:03:47 > 0:03:50Christopher Steele, who, it says, was anti-Trump and funded in part by
0:03:50 > 0:03:52the Hillary Clinton campaign.
0:03:52 > 0:03:54But is this a partisan Republicans stand to
0:03:54 > 0:03:59discredit the FBI and, by extension, the investigation of the special
0:03:59 > 0:04:01counsel, Robert Mueller, into possible Russian
0:04:01 > 0:04:02collusion with the
0:04:02 > 0:04:03Trump campaign?
0:04:03 > 0:04:05There's been no public response from the FBI, but it
0:04:05 > 0:04:08fiercely resisted the release of this memo, having expressed grave
0:04:08 > 0:04:09concerns about its accuracy.
0:04:09 > 0:04:11It's also been slammed by senior Democrats.
0:04:11 > 0:04:14The fact that the President of the United States will
0:04:14 > 0:04:18blithely disregard the admonitions of both
0:04:18 > 0:04:19his own FBI director and the
0:04:19 > 0:04:21Department of Justice tells you all you need
0:04:21 > 0:04:23to know about what the
0:04:23 > 0:04:25President's priorities are, and it's not protecting classified
0:04:25 > 0:04:27information, it's not respecting the hard-working men
0:04:27 > 0:04:31and women at the FBI, it's whatever the president
0:04:31 > 0:04:34deems to be in his short-term political interest.
0:04:34 > 0:04:37What we've seen today underscores how the Russian
0:04:37 > 0:04:41investigation is increasingly becoming the subject of a toxic and
0:04:41 > 0:04:43vicious fight, not just between the political
0:04:43 > 0:04:45parties in Washington, but
0:04:45 > 0:04:49between branches of the US government in Washington.
0:04:49 > 0:04:51Vladimir Putin must be rubbing his hands in
0:04:51 > 0:04:53delight.
0:04:53 > 0:05:00Is the memo a dud, sir, is it a dud?
0:05:00 > 0:05:02Donald Trump looked pretty happy, too.
0:05:02 > 0:05:03His supporters will
0:05:03 > 0:05:04believe he's struck a blow for justice.
0:05:04 > 0:05:11His critics will argue he's engineered a political stunt.
0:05:11 > 0:05:15How can we work out where the truth lies in this extraordinary war of
0:05:15 > 0:05:21words between Trump, the FBI, and the Justice Department?Fiona, the
0:05:21 > 0:05:24Democrats are saying this is a very crude attempt to muddy the waters so
0:05:24 > 0:05:28that the White House and Donald Trump can say that Robert Mueller
0:05:28 > 0:05:32and his team are biased and that its findings and conclusions will be
0:05:32 > 0:05:38contestable. It's worth pointing out that Robert Mueller is a registered
0:05:38 > 0:05:41Republican, who served under George W Bush. When these various
0:05:41 > 0:05:45investigations started last year there was a bipartisan sense of
0:05:45 > 0:05:48cooperation and a bipartisan sense of determination to get to the
0:05:48 > 0:05:52bottom of the extent of Russian meddling. But we are seeing that
0:05:52 > 0:05:57bipartisanship fraying and falling apart. One of the key reasons is the
0:05:57 > 0:06:00Republican leadership on Capitol Hill is far more steadfast now in
0:06:00 > 0:06:03its support for Donald Trump. They got the tax bill passed, they like
0:06:03 > 0:06:08what they heard in the state of the union address earlier this week. The
0:06:08 > 0:06:12economy is going great. They are more confident as the mid-term
0:06:12 > 0:06:16elections in November approach, which will determine the make-up of
0:06:16 > 0:06:18Congress and they are deciding we are going to stick with Donald
0:06:18 > 0:06:23Trump. But there are dissenting voices amongst senior Republicans.
0:06:23 > 0:06:27One is Senator John McCain. Our nation's elected officials including
0:06:27 > 0:06:30the president must stop looking at this investigation through the
0:06:30 > 0:06:35warped lens of politics and manufacturing partisan sideshows.
0:06:35 > 0:06:38Nick Bryant in Washington, thank you.
0:06:38 > 0:06:41The man who drove his van into Muslim worshippers outside
0:06:41 > 0:06:44a mosque in north London has been sentenced to life with a minimum
0:06:44 > 0:06:46of 43 years in prison.
0:06:46 > 0:06:49Darren Osborne killed Makram Ali, who was 51, and injured 12 other
0:06:49 > 0:06:51people in the attack in Finsbury Park last June.
0:06:51 > 0:06:53Our home affairs correspondent Daniel Sandford reports
0:06:53 > 0:06:58from Woolwich Crown Court.
0:06:58 > 0:06:59Everyone back!
0:06:59 > 0:07:01Darren Osborne was seized at the scene of the Finsbury Park
0:07:01 > 0:07:04attack, after ploughing his van into a group of Muslims trying
0:07:04 > 0:07:06to kill as many as possible.
0:07:06 > 0:07:08Have a seat for us up there, mate.
0:07:08 > 0:07:12Convicted of murder and attempted murder yesterday, his 102 previous
0:07:12 > 0:07:15convictions for violence, dishonesty and drugs offences
0:07:15 > 0:07:19were outlined to the court today.
0:07:19 > 0:07:22As was the devastation caused to the family of Makram Ali,
0:07:22 > 0:07:25the man he murdered.
0:07:25 > 0:07:28Outside court, his daughter, with his tearful wife by her side,
0:07:28 > 0:07:31spoke of the family's love for him.
0:07:31 > 0:07:33He will never be forgotten.
0:07:33 > 0:07:35He will always stay in our hearts.
0:07:35 > 0:07:39His laughter will echo the walls of our home.
0:07:39 > 0:07:42His smile will be reflected in our eyes and his memory will be
0:07:42 > 0:07:48alive in our conversations.
0:07:48 > 0:07:52Darren Osborne's absurd defence that a man called Dave was driving
0:07:52 > 0:07:56during the attack was scorned by the judge.
0:07:56 > 0:07:59Addressing him directly, Mrs Justice Cheema-Grubb said,
0:07:59 > 0:08:03an intelligent British jury saw through your pathetic last-ditch
0:08:03 > 0:08:05attempt to deceive them.
0:08:05 > 0:08:09She then jailed him for life, saying the appropriate minimum term
0:08:09 > 0:08:12for this terrorist murder is 43 years, which means he can't
0:08:12 > 0:08:17be released until he's at least 90 years old.
0:08:17 > 0:08:20The judge drew attention to how Osborne was rapidly
0:08:20 > 0:08:24radicalised over the Internet, how in a matter of a month he'd
0:08:24 > 0:08:28allowed his mind to be poisoned by those who she said claimed to be
0:08:28 > 0:08:34leaders but who were determined to spread hatred of Muslims.
0:08:34 > 0:08:37Today, the judge also chose to praise the imam who protected
0:08:37 > 0:08:39Osborne after the attack.
0:08:39 > 0:08:42She said Mohammed Mahmoud had the strength to do the right
0:08:42 > 0:08:46thing under pressure, to respond to evil with good.
0:08:46 > 0:08:52Daniel Sandford, BBC News, at Woolwich Crown Court.
0:08:52 > 0:08:54The Prime Minister is under increasing pressure to be specific
0:08:54 > 0:08:56about what she wants Britain's future EU trade
0:08:56 > 0:08:58relationship to look like.
0:08:58 > 0:09:01Theresa May has just spent three days in China,
0:09:01 > 0:09:04and negotiations on Brexit are due to resume with Brussels on Monday.
0:09:04 > 0:09:07Mrs May said the UK should not face a choice between a free trade deal
0:09:07 > 0:09:11with the EU and striking deals with the rest of the world.
0:09:11 > 0:09:17She was speaking in Shanghai to our political editor, Laura Kuenssberg.
0:09:17 > 0:09:22A few last glimpses, then to China, a final wave goodbye.
0:09:22 > 0:09:26The Prime Minister on her way home, business deals in Britain's pocket,
0:09:26 > 0:09:31but she'll return to the next round of much bigger deal making.
0:09:31 > 0:09:32How precisely will she broker Brexit?
0:09:32 > 0:09:35Is she ready to decide?
0:09:35 > 0:09:38What's happened here is that we've seen the businesses that I've
0:09:38 > 0:09:41brought with me on this trip signing deals that mean more jobs
0:09:41 > 0:09:43for people back in Britain.
0:09:43 > 0:09:44That's good news for Britain.
0:09:44 > 0:09:46It's global Britain in action.
0:09:46 > 0:09:49But on top of doing business around the world, your party,
0:09:49 > 0:09:52the public, business, they want to know, do you favour
0:09:52 > 0:09:55a really close relationship with the European Union once we're
0:09:55 > 0:09:58out, or a more dramatic break?
0:09:58 > 0:10:00What I favour is a deal, an arrangement for trading
0:10:00 > 0:10:03with the European Union, which is going to be good
0:10:03 > 0:10:06for trade between the UK and the European Union and good
0:10:06 > 0:10:08for jobs in Britain.
0:10:08 > 0:10:10So there's a fundamental choice, isn't there?
0:10:10 > 0:10:14Your Chancellor has said he believes the changes might be very modest.
0:10:14 > 0:10:16One of your former Brexit ministers, who is on your side,
0:10:16 > 0:10:20has said the government is yet to make clear choices,
0:10:20 > 0:10:23and you're risking ending up with something that looks
0:10:23 > 0:10:24like meaningless waffle.
0:10:24 > 0:10:27The point is that that deal, which many people said
0:10:27 > 0:10:29would not be done, was done.
0:10:29 > 0:10:30We got what we wanted.
0:10:30 > 0:10:33We ensured that we dealt with those issues in that first phase.
0:10:33 > 0:10:37Now we start the negotiations for the second phase.
0:10:37 > 0:10:40Images for the Mays to treasure perhaps, but there might not be much
0:10:40 > 0:10:43serenity when she's at home.
0:10:43 > 0:10:46The decision over whether to bind tightly to the EU after Brexit
0:10:46 > 0:10:52or pull further apart is the line right down the middle of her party.
0:10:52 > 0:10:53Her supporters believe she's the only person
0:10:53 > 0:10:57who can hold it together, but she's agonisingly pulled
0:10:57 > 0:10:59by detractors on both sides.
0:10:59 > 0:11:05If you're reluctant to explain your priority, your big choice...
0:11:05 > 0:11:08Your big choice for what you want next, can you stay on?
0:11:08 > 0:11:12Because people are asking you again and again to be clearer
0:11:12 > 0:11:13about your priorities.
0:11:13 > 0:11:15How long can you stay on, do you believe?
0:11:15 > 0:11:17Let's be very clear about this.
0:11:17 > 0:11:18I've set out what my vision is.
0:11:18 > 0:11:22I've set out and I've said to people that at every stage where we can
0:11:22 > 0:11:25fill in the detail we will do so, and that's exactly
0:11:25 > 0:11:26what I've been doing.
0:11:26 > 0:11:29Do you want to be the Tory leader at the next general election?
0:11:29 > 0:11:32Well, I've been asked this question on a number of occasions.
0:11:32 > 0:11:34I've said very clearly throughout my political career I've
0:11:34 > 0:11:37served my country and I've served my party.
0:11:37 > 0:11:40I'm not a quitter.
0:11:40 > 0:11:43I'm in this because there's a job to be done here and that's
0:11:43 > 0:11:46delivering for the British people and doing that in a way
0:11:46 > 0:11:48that ensures the future prosperity of our country.
0:11:48 > 0:11:53Global Britain is a real vision for the United Kingdom.
0:11:53 > 0:11:57I want the British people to see a government that is delivering
0:11:57 > 0:12:00for them around the world, and that's exactly what we're doing.
0:12:00 > 0:12:04Our viewers see day after they the Tory party
0:12:04 > 0:12:05fighting amongst itself.
0:12:05 > 0:12:07How do you reassert your authority?
0:12:07 > 0:12:11I'm doing what the British people want, which is delivering on Brexit
0:12:11 > 0:12:13but also getting out around the world, ensuring that we bring
0:12:13 > 0:12:16jobs back to Britain.
0:12:16 > 0:12:18Companies will be selling more great British products to China
0:12:18 > 0:12:19as result of this trip.
0:12:19 > 0:12:23There will be more people in jobs in the UK as a result of this trip.
0:12:23 > 0:12:27That's global Britain in action.
0:12:27 > 0:12:29Number Ten hopes it's by seeing and doing that the Prime Minister
0:12:29 > 0:12:34can re-establish control, but her and the country's
0:12:34 > 0:12:36hardest set of decisions will follow her around the globe.
0:12:36 > 0:12:41Laura Kuenssberg, BBC News, Shanghai.
0:12:41 > 0:12:44Hundreds of extra police are patrolling the French port
0:12:44 > 0:12:45of Calais, after fighting erupted yesterday between
0:12:45 > 0:12:47crowds of migrants.
0:12:47 > 0:12:50Four Eritreans are in a critical condition in hospital,
0:12:50 > 0:12:54after they were shot during violence between Afghan and African migrants.
0:12:54 > 0:12:5518 people were injured.
0:12:55 > 0:13:02Officials say the increase in violence is due to smuggling gangs.
0:13:02 > 0:13:04A 51-year-old man has pleaded not guilty to the murder of two
0:13:04 > 0:13:08schoolgirls in Sussex more than 30 years ago.
0:13:08 > 0:13:11The bodies of Nicola Fellows and Karen Hadaway, both aged nine,
0:13:11 > 0:13:18were found in bushes at Wild Park near Brighton in 1986.
0:13:18 > 0:13:21Russell Bishop, who appeared via video link from prison,
0:13:21 > 0:13:25will stand trial in October.
0:13:25 > 0:13:27There have been chaotic scenes at a court in Michigan
0:13:27 > 0:13:30during the sentencing of the former team doctor of the American
0:13:30 > 0:13:33gymnastics team, Larry Nassar, who's been found guilty of sexually
0:13:33 > 0:13:35abusing girls in his care.
0:13:35 > 0:13:39Nassar was sentenced to up to 175 years in prison last month,
0:13:39 > 0:13:43after more than 150 women testified that he had sexually abused them.
0:13:43 > 0:13:47For one father who had heard his three daughters tell
0:13:47 > 0:13:55the court how Nassar had abused them, it was too much to bear.
0:13:56 > 0:13:59Neda Tawfik reports.
0:13:59 > 0:14:02That a girl who had Larry Nassar as her doctor...
0:14:02 > 0:14:04Another family stands, like so many before them, to
0:14:04 > 0:14:05confront the disgraced doctor.
0:14:05 > 0:14:06All three of the Margraves' children
0:14:06 > 0:14:08were sexually assaulted by Larry Nassar.
0:14:08 > 0:14:10At this final sentencing hearing, two of them, Lauren and
0:14:10 > 0:14:12Madison, speak of their grief, and their parents' guilt.
0:14:12 > 0:14:15I see the look in their faces and I know they want
0:14:15 > 0:14:17to be able to do something, but they can't.
0:14:17 > 0:14:20And the guilt they have will never go away.
0:14:20 > 0:14:21And all this is because of you.
0:14:21 > 0:14:24To my parents, thank you for all your love and support
0:14:24 > 0:14:26through all of this.
0:14:26 > 0:14:28You have done everything that a parent could ever
0:14:28 > 0:14:29do.
0:14:29 > 0:14:37I love you.
0:14:39 > 0:14:41Randall Margraves then asks permission, as a distraught
0:14:41 > 0:14:42father, to speak.
0:14:42 > 0:14:43Go ahead, sir.
0:14:43 > 0:14:44You son of a bitch.
0:14:44 > 0:14:47We don't want to swear.
0:14:47 > 0:14:52I would ask you to, as part of the sentencing, to grant me five
0:14:52 > 0:14:55minutes in a locked room with this demon.
0:14:55 > 0:14:56Would you do that?
0:14:56 > 0:14:58That is not how...
0:14:58 > 0:15:00No, sir, I can't.
0:15:00 > 0:15:04Would you give me one minute?
0:15:04 > 0:15:06You know that I can't do that, that's not how
0:15:06 > 0:15:14our legal system...
0:15:17 > 0:15:19There have been numerous powerful moments throughout
0:15:19 > 0:15:21Nassar's sentencing hearing, but this one
0:15:21 > 0:15:22father's reaction shows so
0:15:22 > 0:15:28clearly how raw emotions are.
0:15:28 > 0:15:30When the court resumes the judge shows
0:15:30 > 0:15:32compassion.
0:15:32 > 0:15:35There is no way this court is going to issue any type of
0:15:35 > 0:15:40punishment, given the circumstances of this case.
0:15:40 > 0:15:43And my heart does go out to you and your family, because
0:15:43 > 0:15:47of what you've gone through.
0:15:47 > 0:15:49I'm definitely calming down.
0:15:49 > 0:15:50I'm definitely calming down.
0:15:50 > 0:15:51I'm embarrassed.
0:15:51 > 0:15:54I'm not here to upstage my daughters, I'm here to help them
0:15:54 > 0:15:56heal.
0:15:56 > 0:16:02Nada Tawfik, BBC News, New York.
0:16:02 > 0:16:04Over three-quarters of family carers looking after severely disabled
0:16:04 > 0:16:06adults have no long term support plans for their relatives,
0:16:06 > 0:16:10according to a disability group.
0:16:10 > 0:16:13Research by the charity, Sense, says that 90% of these families have
0:16:13 > 0:16:16no confidence in their local authority to look after their loved
0:16:16 > 0:16:19ones if they no can no longer look after them themselves.
0:16:19 > 0:16:21Our Disability news correspondent Nikki Fox has been speaking to one
0:16:21 > 0:16:24mother about her fears for her disabled daughter.
0:16:24 > 0:16:25Are you ready?
0:16:25 > 0:16:26Yes.
0:16:26 > 0:16:29You're so close to them.
0:16:29 > 0:16:32You get scared to think that you can't look after them anymore
0:16:32 > 0:16:35and what will happen if you're not around anymore.
0:16:35 > 0:16:38It is a terrifying thought.
0:16:38 > 0:16:43Inge is in her late 60s.
0:16:43 > 0:16:46Her daughter Noreen is blind, quadriplegic and unable to speak.
0:16:46 > 0:16:48You are such a good girl.
0:16:48 > 0:16:50Will you say hello?
0:16:50 > 0:16:56Hi, Noreen, lovely to meet you.
0:16:56 > 0:16:59She's 35, and although Noreen has other family no one can
0:16:59 > 0:17:01give her the same level of care as her mum.
0:17:01 > 0:17:05Inge is terrified of a future when she'll no longer be there.
0:17:05 > 0:17:08The fear is that I'm not prepared, that I haven't got somewhere
0:17:08 > 0:17:11for Noreen where I think she might be happy.
0:17:11 > 0:17:13What if they leave her sitting in the corner?
0:17:13 > 0:17:14What if she is ignored?
0:17:14 > 0:17:15You know?
0:17:15 > 0:17:19If they don't meet her needs enough.
0:17:19 > 0:17:21It's a terrible thought.
0:17:21 > 0:17:22It really is.
0:17:22 > 0:17:25It terrifies me.
0:17:25 > 0:17:31Inge is not alone in feeling like this.
0:17:31 > 0:17:34Today's survey by the charity Sense shows an overwhelming lack of trust
0:17:34 > 0:17:38in local authorities to provide adequate care.
0:17:38 > 0:17:41It also says three quarters of family carers have no long-term
0:17:41 > 0:17:44plan in place for their loved ones.
0:17:44 > 0:17:46We're calling for greater emphasis on planning and more
0:17:46 > 0:17:49investment in social care, and I think we owe that to carers,
0:17:49 > 0:17:52for their peace of mind and for the disabled children
0:17:52 > 0:17:56and adults that they've supported all their lives.
0:17:56 > 0:17:58Are you ready?
0:17:58 > 0:18:00Good-quality care does exist, but it comes at a cost.
0:18:00 > 0:18:02At this specialist centre in Yorkshire it's not about looking
0:18:02 > 0:18:04after someone in the most basic way.
0:18:04 > 0:18:12It's about having the right support to live a happy and fulfilled life.
0:18:13 > 0:18:15So it's a cup of tea.
0:18:15 > 0:18:17I think it does.
0:18:17 > 0:18:19But with pressure on local authority budgets, can councils afford
0:18:19 > 0:18:22to provide quality care like this for everyone who needs it?
0:18:22 > 0:18:24We're currently serving some 168,000 people with very
0:18:24 > 0:18:27profound disabilities.
0:18:27 > 0:18:30The growth in the number of people up to 2025 will be another 25%.
0:18:30 > 0:18:34That demands more resource.
0:18:34 > 0:18:42This one.
0:18:42 > 0:18:44The government says carers are invaluable and it knows
0:18:44 > 0:18:47the social care system is under pressure.
0:18:47 > 0:18:50It says it's put in an extra £2 billion and plans
0:18:50 > 0:18:56to reform social care will be published this summer.
0:18:56 > 0:19:00Inge is one of more than a million family carers over the age of 60.
0:19:00 > 0:19:05What matters to her is Noreen's happiness and at the moment that
0:19:05 > 0:19:09means looking after her daughter for as long as she possibly can.
0:19:09 > 0:19:14That is lovely, sweetheart.
0:19:14 > 0:19:17Nikki Fox, BBC News.
0:19:17 > 0:19:20The Conservative MP Jacob Rees-Mogg has been involved in a scuffle
0:19:20 > 0:19:22in Bristol this evening.
0:19:22 > 0:19:25The MP - who's a keen advocate of Brexit -
0:19:25 > 0:19:28confronted protestors who broke into a speech he was giving
0:19:28 > 0:19:30to students at the University of the West of England.
0:19:30 > 0:19:38There are no reports of any injuries.
0:19:40 > 0:19:42The Afghan capital Kabul has seen three large attacks over
0:19:42 > 0:19:44the past fortnight - with over 120 people killed.
0:19:44 > 0:19:48Two were carried out by the Taliban - one by the Islamic State group.
0:19:48 > 0:19:49Despite controlling less territory than the Taliban,
0:19:49 > 0:19:52IS has launched more major attacks in Kabul than any other militant
0:19:52 > 0:19:53group over the past year.
0:19:53 > 0:19:56IS is growing in influence in Afghanistan just as it's
0:19:56 > 0:19:57being pushed out of Syria and Iraq.
0:19:57 > 0:20:00Secunder Kermani was given exclusive access to one jailed
0:20:00 > 0:20:04IS member in Kabul - and has this report.
0:20:04 > 0:20:06Inside an Afghan prison, a man who was once willing
0:20:06 > 0:20:10to kill in the name of the Islamic State group.
0:20:10 > 0:20:12TRANSLATION:I took part in fighting and executing people.
0:20:12 > 0:20:14We used to make people sit on top of bombs.
0:20:14 > 0:20:21And blow them up.
0:20:21 > 0:20:23Like many IS fighters in Afghanistan, the detainee we
0:20:23 > 0:20:27spoke to was previously part of the Taliban.
0:20:27 > 0:20:31He asked us not to show his face out of fear of reprisals.
0:20:31 > 0:20:37We interviewed him with members of the security services present.
0:20:37 > 0:20:40TRANSLATION:For the Taliban, if someone from the government repents,
0:20:40 > 0:20:41he should be forgiven.
0:20:41 > 0:20:43But IS say he should be killed.
0:20:43 > 0:20:45IS preach that they are the real Muslims, not the
0:20:45 > 0:20:50Taliban.
0:20:50 > 0:20:52The Islamic State group might only control small pockets of
0:20:52 > 0:20:55territory in the country, but over the last year
0:20:55 > 0:20:56they've carried out at
0:20:56 > 0:20:58least 14 major attacks here in the capital, Kabul.
0:20:58 > 0:21:00That's significantly more than even the Taliban.
0:21:00 > 0:21:01IS have repeatedly attacked Kabul's Shia
0:21:01 > 0:21:09minority.
0:21:10 > 0:21:13They killed over 40 people at this Shia cultural centre in
0:21:13 > 0:21:15December.
0:21:15 > 0:21:17This man narrowly escaped with his life.
0:21:17 > 0:21:18TRANSLATION:In the past, Shias living in the
0:21:18 > 0:21:21countryside used to come to Kabul because it was safer.
0:21:21 > 0:21:23Now my relatives tell me to leave Kabul
0:21:23 > 0:21:31because it's become so dangerous here.
0:21:35 > 0:21:38In the past two weeks Kabul has been repeatedly attacked by both
0:21:38 > 0:21:39IS and the Taliban.
0:21:39 > 0:21:41The groups have fought against each other at times.
0:21:41 > 0:21:44But officials here claim there is little difference between the two.
0:21:44 > 0:21:52And that in attacking Kabul they share the same aims.
0:21:54 > 0:21:56Their goal and their objective behind this approach
0:21:56 > 0:21:58is to provoke people against the government and make them rise
0:21:58 > 0:21:59against the government.
0:21:59 > 0:22:01So then the government will fall apart.
0:22:01 > 0:22:03And then what happens, then in Afghanistan we
0:22:03 > 0:22:09will have chaos.
0:22:09 > 0:22:11But this former IS member says the group is different
0:22:11 > 0:22:13from the Taliban, and its more extreme.
0:22:13 > 0:22:15TRANSLATION:They say they will do what Taliban can't do and
0:22:15 > 0:22:21take over the whole country.
0:22:21 > 0:22:23Outside the cultural centre, attacked by IS,
0:22:23 > 0:22:25the shoes of the victims remain piled in a heap.
0:22:25 > 0:22:27Whether it's further attacks by IS or the
0:22:27 > 0:22:35Taliban, this is a city braced for more bloodshed.
0:22:35 > 0:22:41Secunder Kermani, BBC News, Kabul.
0:22:41 > 0:22:45It's a polar bear's eye view as you've never seen before.
0:22:45 > 0:22:49Scientists working in the arctic have released video footage
0:22:49 > 0:22:51from high-tech tracking collars fitted to the bears.
0:22:51 > 0:22:54It's part of a study into how hard the bears have to work
0:22:54 > 0:22:57in order to find food.
0:22:57 > 0:23:00By collecting all the data together they've concluded that -
0:23:00 > 0:23:03on the diminishing arctic ice - the bears are struggling to catch
0:23:03 > 0:23:08enough prey to give them the energy they need.
0:23:08 > 0:23:10Rugby's Six Nations tournament is about to begin
0:23:10 > 0:23:12with hopes high in Scotland that they have their
0:23:12 > 0:23:13best team in decades.
0:23:13 > 0:23:15Defending champions England are playing in Rome on Sunday.
0:23:15 > 0:23:18But it all begins tomorrow in Cardiff as Wales host Scotland -
0:23:18 > 0:23:20a rugby nation hoping for a renaissance
0:23:20 > 0:23:22which defies the odds.
0:23:22 > 0:23:25Joe Wilson reports.
0:23:25 > 0:23:26The Scottish Borders.
0:23:26 > 0:23:29This is working land.
0:23:29 > 0:23:33But embedded deep in this region's history - rugby.
0:23:33 > 0:23:35Galashiels - one small Borders town which has produced 46
0:23:35 > 0:23:40Scotland internationals.
0:23:40 > 0:23:41They fill the clubhouse walls.
0:23:41 > 0:23:43This man is better known by another pose.
0:23:43 > 0:23:47That's Peter Dods.
0:23:47 > 0:23:50COMMENTATOR:Peter Dods, with this vital conversion kick...
0:23:50 > 0:23:58In 1984, Scotland beat everyone.
0:23:58 > 0:23:59Five Nations grand slam.
0:23:59 > 0:24:00Dods kicked the points.
0:24:00 > 0:24:01In the Border culture we are fighters.
0:24:01 > 0:24:04You could put us into a dogfight and the strongest dog wins.
0:24:04 > 0:24:06I think that culture is still there.
0:24:06 > 0:24:08I think with Gregor Townsend being the coach now,
0:24:08 > 0:24:10he will bring that culture into the national team.
0:24:10 > 0:24:18Gregor Townsend.
0:24:18 > 0:24:19Famous son of Gala, now the coach
0:24:19 > 0:24:23of a resurgent Scotland team.
0:24:23 > 0:24:25Exciting, attacking, they've recently beaten Australia twice.
0:24:25 > 0:24:27COMMENTATOR:Huw Jones trying to make it...
0:24:27 > 0:24:29Yet Scotland do this with just two professional rugby clubs.
0:24:29 > 0:24:33How?
0:24:33 > 0:24:34This is a good question.
0:24:34 > 0:24:36I believe being small has its advantages.
0:24:36 > 0:24:38It has its advantages in that you can recognise and identify
0:24:38 > 0:24:40players quicker that are maybe standing out.
0:24:40 > 0:24:48Small means we can work together closer.
0:24:50 > 0:24:52Well a coach can only pick players who are fit
0:24:52 > 0:24:53and injuries are everywhere.
0:24:53 > 0:24:55As Wales completed their preparations here they can think
0:24:55 > 0:24:58of a dozen players they could have had in their squad,
0:24:58 > 0:25:03but they are out injured.
0:25:03 > 0:25:05Against Scotland, Wales will have to be experimental.
0:25:05 > 0:25:08Look closely at Ireland and you'll spot some newer faces
0:25:08 > 0:25:09with the old ones.
0:25:09 > 0:25:13Good mix, they start in France.
0:25:13 > 0:25:14England are defending champions.
0:25:14 > 0:25:15They play Italy on Sunday.
0:25:15 > 0:25:16Here's a simple question.
0:25:16 > 0:25:18Is it possible you could lose to Italy?
0:25:18 > 0:25:20Is that possible?
0:25:20 > 0:25:22Well, no.
0:25:22 > 0:25:24Because we'll be very well-prepared and
0:25:24 > 0:25:29we'll be physical and will be brutal and we'll take it to them.
0:25:29 > 0:25:32Back in Gala, rugby has returned to amateur status.
0:25:32 > 0:25:35Training under lights after work for the love of it.
0:25:35 > 0:25:38The more this sport changes the more important that spirit seems.
0:25:38 > 0:25:44Joe Wilson, BBC News.
0:25:44 > 0:25:45That's it.
0:25:45 > 0:26:09Now on BBC One, it's time for the news where you are.
