20/02/2018 BBC News at Ten

Tonight at ten:

The desperate plight

of people in Eastern Ghouta,

as Syrian Government forces step

up their bombardment.

The suburb, held by rebel forces,

is being flattened by the heaviest

bombardment of recent years.

Some 200 people have been killed

in the past three days and many

injured, including children.

Despite the evidence, the Syrian

regime denies targeting civilians

in its unrelenting airstrikes.

As the bombing campaign intensifies,

our Middle East editor Jeremy Bowen

will examine whether this a turning

point in the seven-year conflict.

Also tonight:

Oxfam bosses come

to Parliament to face questions

about their handling of the crisis

involving allegations

of sexual misconduct.

Please allow me to begin

by saying how sorry I am

Scientists find the cause of a rare

disorder that can lead

to serious disfigurement

and be life-threatening.

My hopes and dreams for the funding

and the research is we'll

one day find a cure

And Christie goes down before

they reach the very first corner.

More heartbreak for Team

GB's Elise Christie,

as her hopes of a Winter Olympic

medal have disappeared.

And coming up, I'm at

Stamford Bridge with the latest

as Chelsea take on Barcelona

in the Champions League.

And coming upon Sportsday on BBC

News, could Chelsea get the better

of Barcelona in the first leg

of their last 16 tie

Good evening.

The United Nations says it's deeply

concerned about the fate of hundreds

of thousands of people

in the Syrian district

of Eastern Ghouta, which is still

under rebel control.

Syrian Government forces have

carried out some of the heaviest

bombardments of recent years,

supported by the Russian military.

Activists say that in the past

three days of airstrikes

and artillery fire,

some 200 people -

including many children -

have been killed in Eastern Ghouta.

This report by our Middle East

editor Jeremy Bowen

contains some distressing images.

This could be the beginning

of the end of a rebellion

in Eastern Ghouta that

began in 2012.

All the other smaller rebel-held

enclaves around Damascus have been

starved and bombed into submission.

EXPLOSION, SCREAMING

Now, it looks to be

Eastern Ghouta's turn as the regime

pushes for decisive victory

around the capital.

SCREAMING

SIRENS

Activists in Eastern Ghouta say this

is as bad as it's been.

You can hear the shout and crying

of women and children

through the windows of their homes

and the missiles and mortars

dropping on us like rain.

There is nowhere to hide from this

nightmare in Eastern Ghouta.

A generation has been

born into the war.

Dozens have been killed

by it in the last few hours

in Eastern Ghouta.

Over the years of siege,

they've set up a network

of underground hospitals.

This girl, named in Arabic

"Angel", escaped the worst,

but will have to go back

to the streets to get home.

And this is her area.

With a regime plane

dropping what appears

to be a barrel bomb,

unguided - an indiscriminate killer.

The Syrian regime denies

attacking civilians.

It says it's trying to liberate

Eastern Ghouta from terrorists.

Eastern Ghouta is a sprawling mix

of concrete suburbs and farmland,

starting about nine miles east

of Damascus' city centre.

starting about nine miles east

of Damascus city centre.

The Syrian rebels who have

controlled it since 2012 include

several Islamist militias,

including one with its

roots in Al-Qaeda.

Eastern Ghouta is surrounded

by Syrian government forces.

Before the war, it was just a short

drive from the Syrian

Presidential Palace.

Officially, it's been designated

a de-escalation zone,

that is an empty phrase.

Force decides what happens in Syria.

After seven years, Syria's war isn't

ending, but it's changing.

President Assad, with the help

of Russia and Iran, is now secure,

but Syria is linked into a web

of war and power politics,

which guarantees more bloodshed.

How many times in the last seven

years have Syrians dug through

the rubble for survivors?

There's talk of safe

corridors out for civilians,

but, based on past form,

the regime wants victory

in Eastern Ghouta and

the surrender of the rebels.

Jeremy Bowen, BBC News.

Jeremy Hunt is with me. If Assad's

forces do manage to gain control of

Eastern Ghouta, will that constitute

a turning point in this conflict?

It

will be really important for the

regime and the area around the

capital Damascus. It is not, though,

the end of the war. Back when the

war was starting in 2012, 2013, I

was able to cross into Eastern

Ghouta. It was very difficult then,

impossible recently, but there were

real high hopes because there were

other enclaves around the edge of

the capital and they hoped this

would really be a knife to the heart

of the regime. As we see, it looks

now very much as if Assad is

preparing to try and roll up this

final enclave around Damascus and

that will secure his victory around

the capital and so for him and for

the capital, it's a very big moment.

The reason I say the war isn't over

is because of what is happening

elsewhere. Up in a zero, very

tangled, some big, important powers

involved. Russia is involved, Iran

is involved, the Turks, Americans

and British special forces

and British special forces there as

of people competing for influence in

that particular area. Power politics

coming to get -- together with the

threat of war and also the whole

position of Iran, perceived as a big

threat by the Israelis, who are also

getting involved their increasingly,

by the Americans and the Saudis, who

have been big players in the war as

well, so we are seeing a different

cast of characters but we are

continuing to see bloodshed and all

that means is it is certainly not

over.

Jeremy, thank you very much.

The charity Oxfam is now

investigating 26 allegations

of sexual misconduct,

which have been reported since

allegations were made against some

of its workers in Haiti.

The charity's leaders

were questioned today

by a Parliamentary committee

at Westminster, when they admitted

that thousands of people had

cancelled their monthly donations

since the the scandal broke,

as our diplomatic correspondent

James Landale reports.

In 2010, Haiti was flooded

with aid workers,

most there to help the country

recover from the earthquake.

But seven men from Oxfam

were also hiring prostitutes

and bullying colleagues,

men who were eventually dismissed

or allowed to resign.

Today, the charity's most senior

executives were summoned

to Parliament to explain what had

gone on and why Oxfam hadn't been

more open and done more

to stop it happening again.

Sorry wasn't the half of it.

I am sorry, we are sorry,

for the damage that Oxfam has done.

On behalf of the Council of Oxfam,

that we are ashamed of what happened

in Haiti, we don't think

it was well handled.

Please allow me to begin

by saying how sorry I am

about what has happened.

I am ashamed.

In particular, Oxfam's chief

executive apologised for suggesting

the criticism the charity

was getting was disproportionate,

saying it wasn't as if babies had

been murdered in their cots.

I do apologise.

I was thinking under stress.

I had given many interviews,

I had made many decisions

to try and lead Oxfam's

response to this.

Oxfam, he admitted, had not been

explicit about what went

on and was now paying a price.

7,000 people have cancelled

their regular donations

in the past ten days.

Corporate sponsors

were reserving judgment.

And...

How many more revelations have

come to your notice?

Across Oxfam Great Britain,

we have had about 26 stories,

reports, come to us that were either

new reports come out

as a result of the stories,

or earlier stories, where people

said, "I didn't necessarily

report this at the time."

MPs just couldn't hide

their frustration.

You as an organisation are dealing

with these women and girls

as if they are just trinkets,

and you can pay for them and give

them a bit of aid and that's OK.

And you don't, when you know

about it, the organisation does not

report it to the

Haitian authorities.

That's pretty shocking.

It's really heartbreaking that...

It is.

That we are in this situation.

But I want to assure

you that we are not doing nothing.

From our point of view, does it not

look like Oxfam was more interested

in protecting its own brand

than protecting vulnerable

women and girls?

It may look like that, Mr Law.

I can't do anything other than say

I think it was wrong.

I am conscious of the

fact you didn't hold

responsibility at the time.

The committee chairman said

he would now hold a full enquiry,

the fourth that Oxfam is now

facing, to ensure it

gets its house in order.

So, Oxfam is apologising to MPs,

it's being more transparent.

But what is clear from today's

evidence is that to recover public

trust, it will have to change

a culture that tolerated the

exploitation of vulnerable women.

Thank you, Mr Speaker.

In the Commons, Oxfam was warned

that if new safeguarding procedures

were not in place by the end of next

week, then current government

funding could be cut.

The UK Government reserves the right

to take whatever decisions

about present or future funding

to Oxfam or any other

organisation we deem necessary.

The real test will come, of course,

not in Haiti but the next time

there is another natural disaster

and the world's aid industry

is deployed once again.

James is with me now. We have been

focusing, understandably, on Oxfam's

difficulties but tonight, another

charity facing difficult questions.

These allegations about somebody

called Justin Forsyth, former

Downing Street adviser and former

chief executive of Save The

Children. Radio 4's PM programme

revealed Mr Forsyth was subject to

three separate complaints of

inappropriate behaviour towards

female members of staff before he

left the Save The Children in 2015.

Mr Forsyth said in a statement he

had made personal mistakes and "I

recognise that on a few occasions I

had a unsuitable and thoughtless,

stations with colleagues which I now

know caused offence and hurt. I

apologise unreservedly to the

colleagues involved and I thought

the issue closed many years ago." Mr

Forsyth is currently a senior figure

at the UN charity Unicef and it said

tonight it is discussing the matter

with him "So we can take appropriate

action." This of course is the

second case involving the charity in

recent days. Brendan Cox, the

husband of the murdered MP Jo Cox,

admitted at the weekend that he had

made mistakes and behaved in a way

that caused some women heard and

offence when he had worked at the

same charity.

James, thanks very

much.

The Brexit Secretary David Davis has

tried to reassure the EU that the UK

won't pursue a radical programme

of deregulation after Britain

leaves the European Union.

Speaking ahead of a meeting

on Thursday when senior ministers

will try to agree the Government's

position on a final Brexit deal,

Mr Davis told business leaders

in Vienna that the UK wants

to promote rights and standards.

Labour says the assurance

from Mr Davis is not worth

the paper it's written on,

as our political correspondent

Vicki Young reports.

The UK has decided to carve

out a different path

to the European Union.

But ministers don't seem to be

preparing for a sharp change

in direction.

The message here in Vienna

was more about reassurance.

David Davis denying accusations

from Labour that the Government

plans to sweep away rules that

protect workers or the environment.

They fear that Brexit

could lead to an Anglo-Saxon

race to the bottom.

With Britain plunged into a Mad Max

style world borrowed

from dystopian fiction.

These fears about a race

to the bottom are based on nothing.

He argued that high standards

could help ensure trade with the EU

remained as frictionless

as possible, with both sides

recognising each other's

rules and institutions.

Some of the business leaders

in the audience who want to keep

close ties to Britain

were encouraged by Mr Davis' words.

I think his tone is now different

to what it was maybe one year ago.

In reality, hopefully it

will bring us together.

In the end, there will be

closer relationships

In the end, there will be

close relationships

between the EU and the UK,

otherwise nobody will win.

David Davis' words today are a far

cry from what many in his own party

have been saying about the need

to break away from the burden of EU

red tape that's been stifling

British business for decades.

He prefers to talk now about ongoing

cooperation and mutual trust with

the European Union after Brexit.

But, tonight, signs that some Tory

MPs have their doubts

about the Government's approach.

More than 60 Eurosceptic MPs have

written a letter to Theresa May,

calling for her to grasp

the opportunities of Brexit,

urging her to stand firm

in negotiations and make sure

Britain really does have the power

to make its own decisions.

Labour says it is the Cabinet that

needs to make up its mind.

The problem is that you got

David Davis saying one thing,

The problem is that you've got

David Davis saying one thing,

Boris Johnson saying something else

and the Prime Minister

saying almost nothing.

It's got to be resolved.

And that's the aim of Thursday's

meeting of senior Cabinet ministers.

David Davis says he is certain

a good deal with the EU

is on the cards, but discord

amongst his colleagues

needs to be dealt with first.

Vicki Young, BBC News, Vienna.

A brief look at some

of the day's other news stories.

Labour's Jeremy Corbyn has warned

the press that "change is coming,"

as he accused them of publishing

"lies and smears" over his contacts

with a Czech spy back in the 1980s.

He suggested the reporting showed

how "worried" media bosses

were by the prospect

of a Labour government.

A High Court judge has ruled that

doctors in Liverpool can stop

providing life support to a boy

who's seriously ill,

against his parents' wishes.

Alfie Evans, who's 21 months old,

suffers from an undiagnosed

neurological degenerative condition.

The judge said he agreed

with medical specialists that

further treatment was futile.

The KFC fast food chain says

disruption is expected to continue

for the rest of the week

after a change of delivery supplier

meant that hey ran out of chicken.

Just under half of the 900 UK

outlets are still closed.

The company says a new delivery

contract with DHL has

disrupted their supplies.

President Trump says he wants

officials to look at banning any

devices that would turn legal,

semi-automatic rifles into automatic

weapons.

The devices - known

as 'bump stocks' -

were used by the gunman

who killed 58 people

in Las Vegas in October.

Scientists have discovered the cause

of a rare blood vessel disorder that

can cause serious facial

disfigurement and life-threatening

bleeding in children.

The research, involving

Great Ormond Street Hospital,

pinpoints the genes responsible

for the condition and,

for the first time, identifies

existing cancer drugs

as a possible treatment.

Our medical correspondent,

Fergus Walsh, has the story.

OK, so we need to do the eggs,

and froth the eggs.

13-year-old Nikki Christou

never knows when her face

will start to bleed.

She has a rare disorder,

which means high pressure blood

in her arteries feeds directly

into her veins.

It causes swelling, facial

disfigurement and life-threatening

bleeds from her nose,

and even her tear ducts.

It's very scary because you don't

really know if it's going to stop,

how much blood you're losing,

and if it is really bad,

then I can, you know,

become very light-headed

and things like that.

So I think when these bleeds happen,

you just know that it's

time for an ambulance.

Nikki has not let her condition,

known as AVM, hold her back.

The winner of

Junior Bake Off is...Nikki.

As well as winning Junior Bake Off

in 2016, she's also interviewed

the Prime Minister for CBBC.

So what were you like as a teenager?

Oh, gosh.

Nikki has had hundreds of

appointments at Great Ormond Street

Hospital, and 30 operations.

How are you doing?

It's lovely to see you.

You, too.

I'm just going to have a little

feel of your face.

And is now part of

ground-breaking research,

which is led by her consultant.

The team at UCL's Institute

of Child Health sequenced the DNA

of more than 150 children

with her condition and found

it could be triggered

by four faulty genes.

This is really an

enormous step for us.

Having discovered the genetic causes

of these in individual patients,

we're now able to suggest treatments

which could potentially slow

the growth, stop the growth

or perhaps even reverse the growth

of this condition

in the longer term.

And those drug treatments come

from an unlikely source.

The gene mutations discovered

in this lab, which are responsible

for these faulty blood vessels,

also play a key role

in the growth of some cancers.

Now, the good news is,

there are several cancer drugs

which inhibit these faulty genes,

which can now be repurposed

to treat Nikki's condition.

This is your right eye

and this is the AVM.

Nikki's one of two patients who are

taking the targeted cancer drugs.

Today, she's finding out

the results of some new scans.

This looks good.

It looks exciting that,

after six months, it seems

to be holding the growth.

That's really good, isn't it?

Yeah, that's so good.

Thank you.

It'll be at least a year before

doctors know for sure

whether the cancer drugs Nikki

is taking are working,

but the discovery of the faulty

genes has given hope to patients

with this debilitating condition.

One of Scotland's largest councils

will provide free lunches

to children from low-income

households every day of the year.

North Lanarkshire Council say that

they'll use sports centres and other

facilities to provide meals

when schools are closed.

The pilot scheme will

begin this spring.

Our Scotland editor,

Sarah Smith, tells us.

Yeah, there's all different

food you can get.

My favourite's chicken curry.

It's tomato pasta.

So this is your favourite

meal you've got today?

Yeah.

You get lettuce and you have tomato

and you have all the pasta.

When I was at school,

school lunches were not something

you looked forward to,

but are they actually good here?

Yeah.

Really good.

All the kids here do seem to really

enjoy their school meals,

and the teachers know that,

for some of them, it's the best meal

they're going to eat all day.

When the schools close,

quite a few of these kids

do, sadly, go hungry.

That's why North Lanarkshire Council

are to pilot a scheme providing free

lunches to kids who need them,

not just on school

days, but every day.

Every so often, you can spot

that somebody's hungrier

than we would like them to be,

after a weekend or after a holiday

period in particular.

It can be individual children,

we know that food is an issue.

If you're hungry, you won't learn

and you won't achieve.

Other councils in the UK provide

meals during school holidays.

North Lanarkshire will be the first

to make free lunches

available 365 days a year,

from primary one, up to the third

year of secondary school.

I know there are children out

there that don't get a meal.

Some adults go without to give

their kids during the holidays.

The children get full meals

at school, so in the holidays

and that, you give them a piece

for lunch, and they're, like,

"Where's my hot dinner?", ken?

About 40% of these children qualify

for free school meals,

but the school works hard to make

sure it's not obvious who,

to avoid any stigma.

For the same reasons,

kids won't be coming into school

at weekends and holidays,

meals will be served in leisure

centres or community halls.

It will cost around £500,000 a year

to feed kids who might not otherwise

eat a proper meal over the weekend.

We know that at holiday periods

and at weekends some parents,

sadly, find it difficult

to feed their children.

We hope that this will give them

the opportunity to do that.

Hungry children can't learn properly

or achieve their full potential.

North Lanarkshire might be one

of the most deprived areas

in the UK, but they hope that

doesn't mean that kids

here have to go hungry.

Sarah Smith, BBC News, Wishaw.

The project to build Africa's

biggest hydroelectric dam

on the River Nile is threatening

to provoke a major conflict between

some of the countries affected.

The dam is being built by Ethiopia

and Sudan says it welcomes

the prospect of cheaper power

and the ability to reduce flooding

in its vast irrigation projects.

But the Egyptians are deeply

unhappy, fearing the flow

through the Aswan Dam

and on to Cairo will be weakened,

in a country already facing

serious water shortages.

Our Africa correspondent,

Alastair Leithead, has travelled

to all three countries and he sent

this special report.

The River Nile is the world's

longest river, but these

are turbulent times between three

countries that share

its life bringing water.

The source of the row is this,

the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam.

Five years in and two-thirds built,

this multi-billion dollar dam can

already control the flow

of the Nile, and that's what's

upsetting downstream Egypt.

When it's finished, this will be

the largest hydroelectric

power station in Africa,

and one of the biggest

dams on the continent.

It will not only power this country,

but the surrounding

countries as well.

Ethiopia didn't even ask

the countries downstream before

it started building.

That is the scale of this

country's ambition.

The reservoir it creates will be

bigger than Greater London.

Hydroelectric dams don't

consume water, but if it's

filled up too quickly,

the flow of the Nile,

85% of which comes from

here, will be reduced.

Ethiopia is obsessed with

electrification. 70% of people here

don't have power. It's betting on

economic growth and Industrial

Revolution often at the cost of Hume

rights and freedom of speech, to

pull its people out of poverty and

wipe out its historic image of

drought and famine. One of the

It's

most important flagship projects for

Ethiopia. It's not about control of

the flow. It's really about

providing opportunity for us to

develop yourselves.

The power lines

are ready and waiting to take cheap,

sustainable electricity to Sudan,

which has a lot to gain from the

dam.

dam. Sudan has vast farming

projects. And huge potential to be

an agriculture powerhouse for Africa

and beyond. Much of this cattle

field is destined for the Gulf. The

new dam would stop flooding and

regulate the river's flow.

For sue

Danned Dan it's wonderful. It's the

best thing that's happened for a

long time. The combination of energy

and regular water levels is a great

blessing.

Sudan has had a decade's

long deal with Egypt, but is now at

aodds with its neighbour about how

much it can use. Egypt was ruled

from here 2,000 years ago. Powers on

the Nile rise and fall. Luxor's

temples represent thousands of years

of Egyptian power set in stone. The

foundation of its proud national

identity.

Wahbi's livelihood depends on the

river.

They say the water won't be

affected, but only God knows what

would happen. If they dam the river

there will be wars and fighting.

It's not a fear to be taken lightly.

Egypt relies on the Nile for almost

all its water. With a vast growing

population the UN pre-8 dibths water

shortages by 2025.

If the water that

is coming to Egypt is reduced by 2%,

loss about 200,000 acre of land. One

acre at least makes one family

survive. Family in Egypt, average

family size five persons. About one

million will be jobless.

The impact

of the dam hasn't been properly

assessed. It's a battle between the

traditional power of Egypt and the

emerging ambitions of Ethiopia. War

over water can be avoided through

strong leadership and diplomacy. Now

it's up to them to navigate tensions

on the world's longest river.

Alastair Leithead, BBC News on the

River Nile.

If you'd like more detail on that

story, here's Alistair to explain

how you can find it.

Well, we took a camera that

films 360 degrees with us

on our journey up the Nile,

to give you a different

perspective on the story.

This is what the dam might look

like when it's finished.

You can see it in virtual reality

through popping a smartphone

into one of these headsets.

It looks a bit like this,

you can see all around.

It's the first time we've done it

on this scale on BBC News,

and it's certainly a different

way of watching.

The Queen has made a surprise

appearance in the front row

at London Fashion Week.

It's the first time the Queen has

visited the event and sat

alongside Dame Anna Wintour,

the editor in chief of Vogue.

Her Majesty praised the craftmanship

of the British fashion industry

before presenting the inaugural

Queen Elizabeth II Award

for British Design to Richard Quinn.

At the Winter Olympics

in South Korea, Team GB's

Elise Christie was disqualified

in her 1000 metre short track

heat, ending her chances

of a medal at the Games.

These are the second Olympics that

have ended with Christie failing

to complete her events.

Our sports correspondent, David

Ornstein, reports from Pyeongchang.

Just three days after leaving

the ice on a stretcher,

Elise Christie was back,

her Olympic hopes on the line.

COMMENTATOR:

Away they go.

And Christie goes down before

they reach the very first corner.

After crashing out of the 500

and 1500 metres, Christie's bid

for 1000 metres gold got off

to the worst possible start.

But having been tripped,

she earned a reprieve,

the heat would be rerun.

An ankle injury meant her

participation was only confirmed

in the hour before the race,

and although slow to get going,

she fought back impressively.

COMMENTATOR:

With half

a lap to go, Christie's

in position to qualify here.

Battling through a physical

contest to finish second

and reached the quarter-finals,

or so she thought.

As Christie was carried away

in pain, her night would take

another turn for the worse,

the judges spotting two

infringements and disqualifying

the triple world champion.

So it's heartbreak for

Elise Christie yet again

after failing to win a medal

at the last Olympics,

four years ago, history has repeated

itself here in Pyeongchang,

her dreams ending in

bitter disappointment.

Right now, I'm a bit shell-shocked.

You know, I worked so hard to come

back from this injury.

I think a thousand people

wouldn't have skated

with my ankle the way it was.

The only thing I can say is,

I can promise Britain that I'll

fight back from this,

and I will come back for Beijing.

And hopefully, you know,

I can do Britain proud then.

COMMENTATOR:

It's going to come

in nicely and pick up his three.

There was better news for Britain's

curlers as the men out dazzled

the colourfully dressed Norway and,

like the women who beat Japan,

can progress to the semi-finals

with victories tomorrow.

In the figure skating,

Penny Coomes and Nick Buckland

finished 11th in the free dance

final, an event that will long be

remembered for the world record

display of Tessa Virtue and Scott

Moir.

Skating together since childhood,

the Canadians took a stunning

second gold of the Games,

and are now the most decorated

skaters in Winter Olympic history.

News, Pyeongchang.

Football, and Chelsea have drawn 1-1

against Barcelona in the first leg

of their Champions League tie

at Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea were leading

until an equaliser in the 75th

minute from Lionel Messi.

Natalie Pirks was

watching the action.

He's Barcelona's little magician,

Lionel Messi, scoring goals for fun

- only never before against Chelsea.

COMMENTATOR:

Here's Hazard.

Instead, it was the Blues

creative maestro who almost

caused some early damage.

COMMENTATOR:

Great

little turn of pace.

You always know Barcelona will

dominate, and so it came to pass.

Messi with a beautiful cross,

Paulinho wide with the header.

The best chances though

fell to Chelsea, Willian

becoming all too familiar

with the woodwork, not once...

COMMENTATOR:

Willian

didn't need him.

..But twice.

COMMENTATOR:

Good position again.

Oh, he's hit the other post now.

Prompted howls of disbelief

from the Chelsea bench.

But if the first half you don't

succeed, try and try again.

COMMENTATOR:

It's another one!

Willian proving the third

time is indeed a charm.

COMMENTATOR:

He gets

it right for Chelsea.

As the clock ticked down, Chelsea

needed only to stay vigilant,

punished by you know who.

COMMENTATOR:

Messi!

Chelsea no longer Messi's bogey

team, Conte left rueing

what might have been.

Chelsea knew they would need a

near-perfect match tonight to beat

the five times winners of the

the Camp Nou.
