Tonight at Ten. | 0:00:06 | 0:00:07 | |
Labour spells out its plans
for leaving the EU and says Britain | 0:00:07 | 0:00:10 | |
does need to be in a customs union. | 0:00:10 | 0:00:14 | |
Speaking in Coventry,
Jeremy Corbyn said it his aim | 0:00:14 | 0:00:15 | |
was to protect British jobs
and to secure tariff-free | 0:00:15 | 0:00:18 | |
trade with the EU. | 0:00:18 | 0:00:21 | |
We want to be able to develop
the economy in this country | 0:00:21 | 0:00:25 | |
for the benefit of all,
to invest in those communities | 0:00:25 | 0:00:27 | |
that are left behind,
those areas that voted Leave | 0:00:27 | 0:00:29 | |
as well as those areas that voted
Remain and we develop an effective | 0:00:29 | 0:00:32 | |
trade relationship with Europe
in the future. | 0:00:32 | 0:00:38 | |
Mr Corbyn also argued that
a customs union would avoid | 0:00:38 | 0:00:40 | |
the creation of a hard border
between Northern Ireland | 0:00:40 | 0:00:42 | |
and the Republic of Ireland. | 0:00:42 | 0:00:43 | |
We'll have detail and reaction. | 0:00:43 | 0:00:45 | |
Also tonight... | 0:00:45 | 0:00:48 | |
The number of people known to have
died in an explosion and fire | 0:00:48 | 0:00:51 | |
in a building in Leicester has now
risen to five. | 0:00:51 | 0:00:55 | |
Warnings in place across the UK,
as bitterly cold weather sweeps | 0:00:55 | 0:00:58 | |
in from eastern Europe. | 0:00:58 | 0:01:06 | |
Tonight, hundreds of ploughs and
critters are heading out onto the | 0:01:08 | 0:01:12 | |
road networks to keep them open and
ready for the morning. We will have | 0:01:12 | 0:01:16 | |
the latest on where the heaviest
snowfall is expected over the next | 0:01:16 | 0:01:20 | |
24 hours. | 0:01:20 | 0:01:21 | |
Serious questions about standards
in some unregistered schools | 0:01:21 | 0:01:23 | |

News investigation. | 0:01:23 | 0:01:26 | |
And Team GB arrives
home from Pyeonchang | 0:01:26 | 0:01:27 | |

Winter Games for Britain. | 0:01:27 | 0:01:32 | |
And coming up on Sportsday on BBC
News, could Scotland's Ryan Wilson's | 0:01:32 | 0:01:35 | |
Six Nations be over? | 0:01:35 | 0:01:36 | |
As the number eight is sited over
alleged foul play during Saturday's | 0:01:36 | 0:01:40 | |
victory over England. | 0:01:40 | 0:01:43 | |
Good evening. | 0:02:02 | 0:02:03 | |
Jeremy Corbyn has laid out Labour's
approach to Britain's trade | 0:02:03 | 0:02:05 | |
relations after Brexit. | 0:02:05 | 0:02:08 | |
He says he wants the UK to enter
into a permanent customs union | 0:02:08 | 0:02:11 | |
with the European Union,
a deal which he says would put | 0:02:11 | 0:02:14 | |
people's jobs and living standards
ahead of what he called | 0:02:14 | 0:02:16 | |
the ideological fantasies
of the Conservatives. | 0:02:16 | 0:02:21 | |
He also said this would avoid
the need for a hard border | 0:02:21 | 0:02:23 | |
between Northern Ireland
and the Republic of Ireland. | 0:02:23 | 0:02:26 | |
But Theresa May has already ruled
out staying in the single | 0:02:26 | 0:02:28 | |
market or a customs union,
as our political editor | 0:02:28 | 0:02:30 | |
Laura Kuenssberg reports. | 0:02:30 | 0:02:34 | |
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE. | 0:02:34 | 0:02:35 | |
Bit by bit, piece by piece. | 0:02:35 | 0:02:38 | |
A clearer view on Brexit,
if Jeremy Corbyn was in charge. | 0:02:38 | 0:02:44 | |
Labour wants to keep our
customs deal with the EU | 0:02:44 | 0:02:46 | |
essentially the same for good. | 0:02:46 | 0:02:50 | |
So, Labour would seek to negotiate
a new, comprehensive UK - | 0:02:50 | 0:02:53 | |
EU customs union to ensure
that there are no tariffs | 0:02:53 | 0:02:56 | |
with Europe and to help avoid
any need, whatsoever, | 0:02:56 | 0:02:58 | |
for a hard border
in Northern Ireland. | 0:02:58 | 0:03:05 | |
But listen very carefully,
there is a big if in there. | 0:03:05 | 0:03:11 | |
The option of a new UK Customs union
with the EU would need to ensure | 0:03:11 | 0:03:15 | |
that the UK has a say
in future trade deals. | 0:03:15 | 0:03:20 | |
A new customs arrangement
would depend on Britain being able | 0:03:20 | 0:03:23 | |
to negotiate agreement on new trade
deals in our national interests. | 0:03:23 | 0:03:28 | |
Other countries with similar kinds
of deals have very little control. | 0:03:28 | 0:03:34 | |
We would have to have a meaningful
say in how those negotiations went | 0:03:34 | 0:03:37 | |
and what the agreement was. | 0:03:37 | 0:03:39 | |
So we would not end up as simply
passive rule takers. | 0:03:39 | 0:03:43 | |
But what if they say
no to your proposal, | 0:03:43 | 0:03:45 | |
as is very likely, given
what the European Union has said? | 0:03:45 | 0:03:51 | |
Listen, we would want to make sure
and would make sure that Britain had | 0:03:51 | 0:03:54 | |
a say in our trade relations. | 0:03:54 | 0:03:59 | |
By negotiation. | 0:03:59 | 0:04:01 | |
Negotiations require
understandings of the strengths | 0:04:01 | 0:04:03 | |
and weaknesses of both sides,
by the degree of the manufacturing | 0:04:03 | 0:04:06 | |
industry, of agriculture,
food industries that operate on both | 0:04:06 | 0:04:09 | |
sides of the channel and also,
as I say, we are not going | 0:04:09 | 0:04:12 | |
to undercut the whole of Europe. | 0:04:12 | 0:04:16 | |
But what is your Plan B? | 0:04:16 | 0:04:18 | |
The Plan B is to continue
negotiating in order | 0:04:18 | 0:04:20 | |
to achieve Plan A. | 0:04:20 | 0:04:24 | |
Whether it is A or B,
it is seemingly tilted | 0:04:24 | 0:04:27 | |
towards after Brexit,
even though most Labour seats | 0:04:27 | 0:04:29 | |
in Coventry and around
the country voted to Leave. | 0:04:29 | 0:04:36 | |
But some Brexit-backing Labour MPs
questioned whether it is real. | 0:04:36 | 0:04:39 | |
There is no way they are going
to agree that we would have | 0:04:39 | 0:04:42 | |
our own customs union,
that we would stick our noses | 0:04:42 | 0:04:45 | |
into any trade agreements
they want to do and that Jeremy has | 0:04:45 | 0:04:48 | |
kept faith with his long-term
objective that we must be | 0:04:48 | 0:04:50 | |
free to negotiate our
own trade agreements. | 0:04:50 | 0:04:56 | |
For many voters, there has been
enough dancing around the details. | 0:04:56 | 0:04:59 | |
A clean break. | 0:04:59 | 0:05:00 | |
A total clean break. | 0:05:00 | 0:05:01 | |
Yeah. | 0:05:01 | 0:05:02 | |
Why do you say that? | 0:05:02 | 0:05:03 | |
Because, like, we need to get
Great Britain back to Great Britain. | 0:05:03 | 0:05:06 | |
And how it used to be. | 0:05:06 | 0:05:09 | |
They say we should stay
as close as possible, | 0:05:09 | 0:05:11 | |
I don't think we should stay
as close as possible, | 0:05:11 | 0:05:13 | |
because I don't think it is a good
idea to be in the EU. | 0:05:13 | 0:05:16 | |
It is not beneficial
to everybody, really. | 0:05:16 | 0:05:19 | |
I could speak to these two guys now
and they would tell me one thing | 0:05:19 | 0:05:22 | |
and the people behind them would... | 0:05:22 | 0:05:24 | |
Everyone is the same,
mixed up, we just want | 0:05:24 | 0:05:26 | |
an end to it now, I think. | 0:05:26 | 0:05:28 | |
If a Labour voter said to you,
I'd back Brexit, and I did not think | 0:05:28 | 0:05:31 | |
that would mean still having
a trading relationship | 0:05:31 | 0:05:33 | |
with the European Union,
they wanted something more dramatic, | 0:05:33 | 0:05:36 | |
a more dramatic break,
what would you say them? | 0:05:36 | 0:05:39 | |
I would say... | 0:05:39 | 0:05:41 | |
I would say to them,
think this thing through. | 0:05:41 | 0:05:44 | |
We have a lot of jobs that depend
on sales back and forth, | 0:05:44 | 0:05:47 | |
across the North Sea
or across the Channel and we have | 0:05:47 | 0:05:49 | |
to ensure those jobs. | 0:05:49 | 0:05:53 | |
This isn't Jeremy Corbyn tearing up
Labour's plans for Brexit, | 0:05:53 | 0:05:55 | |
it is a more powerful step along
the way, trying to contain | 0:05:55 | 0:05:58 | |
the tensions inside his own party,
those on both sides of the argument | 0:05:58 | 0:06:03 | |
and the many Labour voters
who backed Brexit in 2016. | 0:06:03 | 0:06:08 | |
It does also, though,
politically conveniently | 0:06:08 | 0:06:10 | |
draw a clear difference
between the Labour position | 0:06:10 | 0:06:12 | |
and the Conservative plans. | 0:06:12 | 0:06:14 | |
Thanks a lot. | 0:06:14 | 0:06:15 | |
Thanks for coming, guys. | 0:06:15 | 0:06:20 | |
It is not just his fans,
but some Tory MPs want to keep | 0:06:20 | 0:06:23 | |
our customs links, too. | 0:06:23 | 0:06:26 | |
Labour's firmer position
in Parliament could cause | 0:06:26 | 0:06:29 | |
trouble for Number 10. | 0:06:29 | 0:06:31 | |
Laura Kuenssberg,
BBC News, Coventry. | 0:06:31 | 0:06:36 | |
So what difference could it make
to trade if Britain stayed in some | 0:06:36 | 0:06:39 | |
kind of permanent customs union
with the EU? | 0:06:39 | 0:06:41 | |
Chris Morris, of the BBC's Reality
Check, is here to explain more. | 0:06:41 | 0:06:49 | |
Being in a customs union with the EU
after Brexit would mean | 0:06:49 | 0:06:51 | |
there would still be a common
external tariff - | 0:06:51 | 0:06:54 | |
in effect the same tax -
on goods being brought | 0:06:54 | 0:06:56 | |
in from elsewhere in the world. | 0:06:56 | 0:06:59 | |
But it would also mean - like now -
that there would be no tariffs | 0:06:59 | 0:07:02 | |
for goods crossing borders
between the UK and the EU. | 0:07:02 | 0:07:07 | |
That is important for companies
based in the UK, which operate | 0:07:07 | 0:07:10 | |
complex manufacturing
processes across Europe. | 0:07:10 | 0:07:15 | |
This is the BMW factory in Oxford,
mentioned by Mr Corbyn, | 0:07:15 | 0:07:17 | |
where they make the Mini. | 0:07:17 | 0:07:21 | |
Its components cross EU
borders multiple times. | 0:07:21 | 0:07:25 | |
A crank shaft cast in France
crosses to a plant in | 0:07:25 | 0:07:27 | |
Warwickshire to be finished. | 0:07:27 | 0:07:29 | |
It then goes back to Austria to be
built into an engine, | 0:07:29 | 0:07:31 | |
which then comes back to Oxford
to be put into a completed car. | 0:07:31 | 0:07:36 | |
Half the cars built in Oxford
are then exported back to the EU | 0:07:36 | 0:07:40 | |
and it is all tariff free. | 0:07:40 | 0:07:42 | |
But the government argues
that the problem with the customs | 0:07:42 | 0:07:45 | |
union is that you cannot
negotiate your own trade | 0:07:45 | 0:07:47 | |
deals around the world. | 0:07:47 | 0:07:49 | |
A key part of taking back control. | 0:07:49 | 0:07:53 | |
It is true that you are
constrained, you cannot alter | 0:07:53 | 0:07:55 | |
those tariffs on goods. | 0:07:55 | 0:07:58 | |
You can still do some
deals on services. | 0:07:58 | 0:08:02 | |
Banking or insurance
or tourism, for example. | 0:08:02 | 0:08:05 | |
Now, Labour insist that they would
still want to be involved alongside | 0:08:05 | 0:08:08 | |
the EU in negotiating all trade
deals in the future anyway. | 0:08:08 | 0:08:13 | |
So, is it trying to have
its cake and eat it? | 0:08:13 | 0:08:17 | |
Business leaders have been broadly
positive about Labour's proposal, | 0:08:17 | 0:08:19 | |
but are still looking
for a little more clarity. | 0:08:19 | 0:08:23 | |
Being in a customs
union is a hassle-free | 0:08:23 | 0:08:25 | |
solution for businesses. | 0:08:25 | 0:08:27 | |
But there are different types
of customs union and all we have | 0:08:27 | 0:08:30 | |
heard from Jeremy Corbyn today,
was not all of the details | 0:08:30 | 0:08:33 | |
for businesses to know. | 0:08:33 | 0:08:36 | |
It's also worth remembering that
being in a customs union wouldn't | 0:08:38 | 0:08:40 | |
entirely solve the problem
of maintaining an invisible | 0:08:40 | 0:08:42 | |
border in Ireland. | 0:08:42 | 0:08:44 | |
You'd also need something
like a new free trade agreement, | 0:08:44 | 0:08:51 | |
to deal with regulations on things
like food safety or animal welfare. | 0:08:51 | 0:08:54 | |
Still, it's been a big day
for Labour's position on Brexit. | 0:08:54 | 0:08:57 | |
But whatever policy
emerges in London - | 0:08:57 | 0:08:59 | |
all of it still needs to be
negotiated with the other 27 EU | 0:08:59 | 0:09:02 | |
countries, and all of them have
opinions of their own. | 0:09:02 | 0:09:10 | |
Chris Morris. Thank you. | 0:09:13 | 0:09:15 | |
The number of people known to have
died in an explosion and fire | 0:09:17 | 0:09:20 | |
in a building in Leicester yesterday
has risen to five. | 0:09:20 | 0:09:22 | |
Search and rescue teams
recovered a body from | 0:09:22 | 0:09:24 | |
the rubble earlier today. | 0:09:24 | 0:09:25 | |
Five people remain in hospital,
one is critically ill. | 0:09:25 | 0:09:27 | |
Emergency crews have been continuing
to search the ruins of the property, | 0:09:27 | 0:09:30 | |
as our correspondent Sima Kotecha
reports. | 0:09:30 | 0:09:33 | |
The damage, fully
exposed, in daylight. | 0:09:33 | 0:09:36 | |
Last night, just after
seven, an explosion. | 0:09:36 | 0:09:42 | |
A shop and the flat
above it were destroyed. | 0:09:42 | 0:09:48 | |
Flames shot up into the air,
around seven metres high. | 0:09:48 | 0:09:51 | |
Towering over the
surrounding buildings. | 0:09:51 | 0:09:56 | |
I just heard a big bang. | 0:09:56 | 0:09:58 | |
The owner of the shop
was inside at the time. | 0:09:58 | 0:10:00 | |
I didn't know, what was that? | 0:10:00 | 0:10:02 | |
I found myself on the floor. | 0:10:02 | 0:10:04 | |
Eyes open. | 0:10:04 | 0:10:06 | |
Looking up. | 0:10:06 | 0:10:07 | |
Half of my body was
under, how to say? | 0:10:07 | 0:10:12 | |
Rubble? | 0:10:12 | 0:10:13 | |
Under the bricks and rubble. | 0:10:13 | 0:10:15 | |
How are you feeling at the moment? | 0:10:15 | 0:10:17 | |
I don't know how to tell you. | 0:10:17 | 0:10:20 | |
Never I feel how I am now. | 0:10:20 | 0:10:24 | |
The shop was a Polish supermarket. | 0:10:24 | 0:10:26 | |
It had only been open since January. | 0:10:26 | 0:10:29 | |
Today, firefighters spent hours
inside, wading through the rubble, | 0:10:29 | 0:10:31 | |
trying to find survivors. | 0:10:31 | 0:10:37 | |
Police have confirmed that five
people died inside the building, | 0:10:37 | 0:10:39 | |
and several are in hospital
with injuries, but | 0:10:39 | 0:10:41 | |
there could be more. | 0:10:41 | 0:10:45 | |
We can't confirm exact numbers
so we are working on the possibility | 0:10:45 | 0:10:48 | |
that there could be people
still within the building | 0:10:48 | 0:10:50 | |
and we will sweep through,
with our search and rescue teams, | 0:10:50 | 0:10:53 | |
with the help of a search dog,
to make sure that we have located | 0:10:53 | 0:10:57 | |
everybody that could possibly
be in there. | 0:10:57 | 0:11:03 | |
Investigators will now begin looking
for the cause of the explosion, | 0:11:03 | 0:11:05 | |
once the search and rescue effort
is concluded and the area | 0:11:05 | 0:11:08 | |
is declared safe. | 0:11:08 | 0:11:09 | |
Sima Kotecha, BBC News, Leicester. | 0:11:09 | 0:11:17 | |
An inquest has heard how
a five-year-old girl, | 0:11:17 | 0:11:19 | |
suffering from asthma,
died after being turned | 0:11:19 | 0:11:20 | |
away from an emergency
doctor's appointment, | 0:11:20 | 0:11:23 | |
because she was a few minutes late. | 0:11:23 | 0:11:26 | |
Ellie May Clark arrived | 0:11:26 | 0:11:27 | |
at a clinic in Newport,
South Wales, but was told | 0:11:27 | 0:11:29 | |
the doctor wouldn't see her. | 0:11:29 | 0:11:30 | |
She returned home but was taken to
hospital later that night and died | 0:11:30 | 0:11:34 | |
after a severe asthma attack. | 0:11:34 | 0:11:36 | |
The coroner said the opportunity
to provide potentially life-saving | 0:11:36 | 0:11:38 | |
treatment had been missed. | 0:11:38 | 0:11:45 | |
The outgoing head of
counter-terrorism policing in the UK | 0:11:45 | 0:11:47 | |
has warned of the growing threat
from far-right terrorism. | 0:11:47 | 0:11:49 | |
Assistant Commissioner Mark Rowley,
who will retire next month, | 0:11:49 | 0:11:52 | |
revealed that four extreme-right
terrorist attacks were disrupted | 0:11:52 | 0:11:54 | |
last year, as well as ten
Islamist-inspired plots. | 0:11:54 | 0:12:02 | |
A fifth Briton has died
following a helicopter | 0:12:03 | 0:12:05 | |
crash in the Grand Canyon
earlier this month. | 0:12:05 | 0:12:07 | |
Ellie Udall was on honeymoon
with her husband Jon | 0:12:07 | 0:12:09 | |
when they were involved
in the crash. | 0:12:09 | 0:12:13 | |
He died last week. | 0:12:13 | 0:12:14 | |
A preliminary report
into the accident failed | 0:12:14 | 0:12:16 | |
to establish a cause. | 0:12:16 | 0:12:19 | |
It's been one of the coldest days
of the winter so far | 0:12:22 | 0:12:24 | |
for much of the UK, and weather
experts say the freezing | 0:12:24 | 0:12:27 | |
conditions will continue
for the rest of the week. | 0:12:27 | 0:12:30 | |
There are yellow and amber warnings
of snow in Scotland, | 0:12:30 | 0:12:32 | |
Wales and central, eastern
and southern parts of England. | 0:12:32 | 0:12:34 | |
Some rail companies have
already taken the decision | 0:12:34 | 0:12:36 | |
to cancel services tonight. | 0:12:36 | 0:12:37 | |
Our science editor David
Shukman has the latest. | 0:12:37 | 0:12:45 | |
The first wave of the storm. | 0:12:45 | 0:12:47 | |
Norwich this afternoon,
blanketed in white. | 0:12:47 | 0:12:50 | |
Not enough to stop the postmen
or the rubbish collection, | 0:12:50 | 0:12:53 | |
but this is just the beginning
of what is forecast. | 0:12:53 | 0:12:57 | |
London had an icy start this
morning, and the bands of dark | 0:12:57 | 0:13:00 | |
clouds are a hint of heavy snow
to come, along with | 0:13:00 | 0:13:03 | |
plummeting temperatures. | 0:13:03 | 0:13:05 | |
Already, some areas have
felt a wind of minus 15. | 0:13:05 | 0:13:10 | |
Would you like soup? | 0:13:10 | 0:13:11 | |
So, busy times at the largest
emergency shelter in London. | 0:13:11 | 0:13:15 | |
The charity Glass Door has decided
that it's too cold to turn | 0:13:15 | 0:13:18 | |
anyone away tonight. | 0:13:18 | 0:13:20 | |
The homeless are at greatest risk. | 0:13:20 | 0:13:23 | |
You feel more vulnerable. | 0:13:23 | 0:13:25 | |
You've got to have two
sleeping bags, or... | 0:13:25 | 0:13:29 | |
This morning I was waking
up with a snowflake | 0:13:29 | 0:13:31 | |
just dropped in my eye. | 0:13:31 | 0:13:35 | |
I'm just dreading what it's
going to be like tonight. | 0:13:35 | 0:13:38 | |
At least there's been
plenty of warning. | 0:13:38 | 0:13:41 | |
Nearly a dozen rail companies
in east and south-east | 0:13:41 | 0:13:43 | |
England announced early
on that they would be limiting | 0:13:43 | 0:13:45 | |
or stopping services altogether. | 0:13:45 | 0:13:48 | |
At this station, which this evening
looks almost abandoned, this is how | 0:13:48 | 0:13:51 | |
the disruption was announced. | 0:13:51 | 0:13:55 | |
During the night, some
empty trains will be run | 0:13:55 | 0:13:57 | |
to try to keep lines open. | 0:13:57 | 0:13:59 | |
So, what's behind this icy blast? | 0:13:59 | 0:14:01 | |
Well, it's all about the circulation
of the winds high above the Arctic - | 0:14:01 | 0:14:05 | |
moving in a way that means warm air
is descending towards the North Pole | 0:14:05 | 0:14:09 | |
- and that's why temperatures
in Greenland have been | 0:14:09 | 0:14:11 | |
slightly above zero. | 0:14:11 | 0:14:15 | |
Now, this pattern in the weather
also affects the jet stream. | 0:14:15 | 0:14:18 | |
Normally it flows from west to east
bringing us mild weather. | 0:14:18 | 0:14:21 | |
But now it's reversed,
which is like opening | 0:14:21 | 0:14:23 | |
a door of a freezer,
allowing extreme cold from Siberia | 0:14:23 | 0:14:26 | |
winter to flow our way. | 0:14:26 | 0:14:30 | |
KNOCKING. | 0:14:30 | 0:14:31 | |
Hi, David! | 0:14:31 | 0:14:33 | |
In Lincolnshire, Meals on Wheels
went smoothly today, | 0:14:33 | 0:14:35 | |
but the elderly are warned
to get ready. | 0:14:35 | 0:14:39 | |
It doesn't bother me unduly. | 0:14:39 | 0:14:42 | |
Provided you are prepared for it,
you've got stuff in the fridge | 0:14:42 | 0:14:45 | |
and everything of that nature. | 0:14:45 | 0:14:47 | |
You've got your boots ready. | 0:14:47 | 0:14:52 | |
In Essex, gritters
are being deployed. | 0:14:52 | 0:14:53 | |
If the forecasts are right,
they will be even busier | 0:14:53 | 0:14:56 | |
at the end of the week. | 0:14:56 | 0:14:58 | |
Today has been a taste
of what's on the cards. | 0:14:58 | 0:15:00 | |
The real challenges come overnight
and in the days ahead. | 0:15:00 | 0:15:02 | |
David Shukman, BBC News. | 0:15:02 | 0:15:05 | |
Our correspondent Danny Savage
is at a Highway England | 0:15:09 | 0:15:11 | |
depot in West Yorkshire. | 0:15:11 | 0:15:14 | |
Tell us about the preparations there
tonight. This is one of the areas | 0:15:20 | 0:15:23 | |
where the heaviest snow is expected
over the next 24 hours. This is the | 0:15:23 | 0:15:27 | |
last of the gritters to leave the
deep bow tonight, the rest have gone | 0:15:27 | 0:15:31 | |
out across the network across West
Yorkshire and beyond, getting ready | 0:15:31 | 0:15:38 | |
for tomorrow. -- leave the depot
tonight. This is one region where | 0:15:38 | 0:15:44 | |
there are amber weather warnings in
place at the moment. It's where the | 0:15:44 | 0:15:48 | |
heaviest snowfall is expected. We
are talking about a large chunk of | 0:15:48 | 0:15:52 | |
northern England, east of the
Pennines and north of the Humber up | 0:15:52 | 0:15:56 | |
to Newcastle. Also parts of
south-east England tomorrow morning | 0:15:56 | 0:16:00 | |
up to about 2pm, through Kent, Essex
and Suffolk, more snow expected | 0:16:00 | 0:16:04 | |
there. They are expecting it to
start falling across the early hours | 0:16:04 | 0:16:09 | |
across eastern Britain and for it to
be a real problem through rush hour. | 0:16:09 | 0:16:13 | |
Talking about 12 hours of snowfall
in places. It's not just overnight | 0:16:13 | 0:16:18 | |
tonight, the people working here are
looking forward to Wednesday and | 0:16:18 | 0:16:22 | |
Thursday for possible more heavy
snowfalls as well. They are getting | 0:16:22 | 0:16:25 | |
on with it tonight, but it will be a
round-the-clock operation for the | 0:16:25 | 0:16:29 | |
next few days until there is a sign
of this cold weather letting up, and | 0:16:29 | 0:16:34 | |
there is no sign of that yet. Danny
Savage, with the latest from West | 0:16:34 | 0:16:38 | |
Yorkshire. | 0:16:38 | 0:16:41 | |
A BBC News investigation
into unregistered schools in England | 0:16:41 | 0:16:43 | |
has found "huge safeguarding
issues", according to | 0:16:43 | 0:16:45 | |
the Children's Commissioner. | 0:16:45 | 0:16:46 | |
The schools watchdog, Ofsted,
has identified more than 350 | 0:16:46 | 0:16:48 | |
of these suspected unregistered
schools - places that offer more | 0:16:48 | 0:16:50 | |
than 18 hours a week of teaching,
which by law should be registered | 0:16:50 | 0:16:53 | |
as a school. | 0:16:53 | 0:16:58 | |
Secret filming by the BBC appears
to raise serious questions | 0:16:58 | 0:17:00 | |
about the way some of the schools
are run, as our special | 0:17:00 | 0:17:03 | |
correspondent Lucy Manning reports. | 0:17:03 | 0:17:08 | |
Inside our secret schools,
unregistered, hidden | 0:17:08 | 0:17:13 | |
from the authorities,
operating out of offices and houses, | 0:17:13 | 0:17:19 | |
even a disused building
on an industrial estate. | 0:17:19 | 0:17:23 | |
We've obtained photos
of the inside of other suspected | 0:17:23 | 0:17:26 | |
unregistered schools. | 0:17:26 | 0:17:28 | |
They show shocking conditions,
squalor, appalling food | 0:17:28 | 0:17:32 | |
hygiene, dangerous wiring. | 0:17:32 | 0:17:34 | |
Schools need to be registered
if five or more pupils are educated | 0:17:34 | 0:17:38 | |
for at least 18 hours a week
- many aren't. | 0:17:38 | 0:17:42 | |
Ofsted has identified more than 350
suspected unregistered schools. | 0:17:42 | 0:17:47 | |
Only half have been inspected. | 0:17:47 | 0:17:54 | |
We were able to find
two that haven't been. | 0:17:54 | 0:17:57 | |
One is here in Southend, Essex. | 0:17:57 | 0:17:59 | |
It's 9:40am and children
from the ultraorthodox Jewish | 0:17:59 | 0:18:03 | |
community have started learning. | 0:18:03 | 0:18:05 | |
On one day, a young boy
appears to be crying. | 0:18:05 | 0:18:09 | |
There is a child here
who clearly is upset. | 0:18:09 | 0:18:13 | |
Minutes later, the teacher
seems to use force. | 0:18:13 | 0:18:15 | |
There is a physicality about that. | 0:18:15 | 0:18:18 | |
They're manhandling the child. | 0:18:18 | 0:18:20 | |
The child remains very distressed. | 0:18:20 | 0:18:22 | |
That raises immediate concerns. | 0:18:22 | 0:18:24 | |
I wouldn't expect to see
that in the classroom. | 0:18:24 | 0:18:26 | |
Any parent watching that
would be very, very worried | 0:18:26 | 0:18:29 | |
about what's going on. | 0:18:29 | 0:18:33 | |
On a different occasion,
a boy appears to cower | 0:18:33 | 0:18:35 | |
away from the teacher. | 0:18:35 | 0:18:37 | |
What you've got there is clearly
a child who seems to be quite wary | 0:18:37 | 0:18:40 | |
of the adult that's there. | 0:18:40 | 0:18:43 | |
When the adult turns around,
the child steps back. | 0:18:43 | 0:18:46 | |
And the adult clearly
strikes the child. | 0:18:46 | 0:18:49 | |
On all counts, that is
completely unacceptable. | 0:18:49 | 0:18:51 | |
There are huge safeguarding issues
about the well-being | 0:18:51 | 0:18:53 | |
of those children. | 0:18:53 | 0:18:54 | |
Are you surprised that this
can happen in the UK | 0:18:54 | 0:18:57 | |
in this day and age? | 0:18:57 | 0:18:58 | |
I am. | 0:18:58 | 0:19:00 | |
Parents throughout the land will be
so surprised that schools of this | 0:19:00 | 0:19:03 | |
scale are operating outside
the legal system. | 0:19:03 | 0:19:08 | |
The synagogue denies this
is an unregistered school. | 0:19:08 | 0:19:12 | |
It says education is provided
here within the 18 hour limit, | 0:19:12 | 0:19:15 | |
but when we observed it,
it was operating for longer. | 0:19:15 | 0:19:19 | |
It also says it's not
aware of any assaults, | 0:19:19 | 0:19:23 | |
but asked for more information. | 0:19:23 | 0:19:27 | |
We've learned there have been more
than 50 safeguarding alerts | 0:19:27 | 0:19:30 | |
about unregistered schools
across England and Wales | 0:19:30 | 0:19:32 | |
in the past four years,
according to our Freedom | 0:19:32 | 0:19:34 | |
of Information request. | 0:19:34 | 0:19:37 | |
These are primarily physical abuse
concerns, but include | 0:19:37 | 0:19:39 | |
sexual abuse allegations. | 0:19:39 | 0:19:42 | |
Not all unregistered
schools are religious. | 0:19:42 | 0:19:45 | |
Of those that are, half are Muslim. | 0:19:45 | 0:19:48 | |
The BBC has obtained the copy
of a book from a suspected | 0:19:48 | 0:19:52 | |
unregistered school in Birmingham
that is now closed. | 0:19:52 | 0:19:56 | |
In one section it openly advocates
the murder of homosexuals. | 0:19:56 | 0:19:59 | |
Another chapter warns
a wife against refusing | 0:19:59 | 0:20:02 | |
sex with her husband. | 0:20:02 | 0:20:04 | |
Elsewhere, it says a woman wearing
perfume is an adulterer. | 0:20:04 | 0:20:10 | |
Another suspected unregistered
school was run here in East London. | 0:20:10 | 0:20:15 | |
A broad and balanced curriculum... | 0:20:15 | 0:20:18 | |
Mohammed Umair, a former
headteacher, was issued | 0:20:18 | 0:20:20 | |
with a warning notice by Ofsted
for running it. | 0:20:20 | 0:20:23 | |
We've learned he is facing
prosecution for racially | 0:20:23 | 0:20:26 | |
abusing Ofsted inspectors. | 0:20:26 | 0:20:30 | |
It is alleged he shouted
"Britain First paedophiles" at them. | 0:20:30 | 0:20:34 | |
We understand the registered school
Mr Umair ran previously, | 0:20:34 | 0:20:36 | |
featured here in online footage,
faced an extremism complaint. | 0:20:36 | 0:20:39 | |
He denies all the allegations. | 0:20:39 | 0:20:41 | |
He maintains he wasn't operating
an unregistered school and says | 0:20:41 | 0:20:45 | |
the centre was being run
by somebody else. | 0:20:45 | 0:20:50 | |
Louise Casey warned
about the problem of unregistered | 0:20:50 | 0:20:54 | |
schools in her 2016 report
into community cohesion. | 0:20:54 | 0:20:58 | |
The Department for Education
really need to wake up | 0:20:58 | 0:21:01 | |
to their own research,
their own evidence, and what Ofsted | 0:21:01 | 0:21:04 | |
is telling them, and take action. | 0:21:04 | 0:21:07 | |
It brings up kids that are anti
a British way of life. | 0:21:07 | 0:21:11 | |
Sometimes in these environments
they feel they have more in common | 0:21:11 | 0:21:14 | |
with some of the extremists,
and some of the terrorists. | 0:21:14 | 0:21:19 | |
Run out of a basement of a church
in south-east London, we've also | 0:21:19 | 0:21:23 | |
learned of an unregistered school
that even had its own | 0:21:23 | 0:21:25 | |
logo and uniform. | 0:21:25 | 0:21:28 | |
The problem - four months after it
opened, headteacher Kay Johnson | 0:21:28 | 0:21:31 | |
was banned from teaching
for allegedly hitting | 0:21:31 | 0:21:35 | |
a five-year-old pupil with learning
difficulties at a previous school. | 0:21:35 | 0:21:38 | |
She denies the allegation. | 0:21:38 | 0:21:40 | |
And also says she never set out
to do anything illegal | 0:21:40 | 0:21:43 | |
by running the school. | 0:21:43 | 0:21:45 | |
We have this little hidden
universe of tiny schools... | 0:21:45 | 0:21:50 | |
Ofsted says it needs a change
in the law to close these schools. | 0:21:50 | 0:21:54 | |
Why have there been no
prosecutions of those running | 0:21:54 | 0:21:56 | |
unregistered schools? | 0:21:56 | 0:21:57 | |
There is a chain to this. | 0:21:57 | 0:21:58 | |
It starts with Ofsted
preparing a case. | 0:21:58 | 0:22:00 | |
It goes to the Secretary of State
to approve taking it | 0:22:00 | 0:22:03 | |
forward, and then it goes
to the Crown Prosecution Service. | 0:22:03 | 0:22:05 | |
We've prepared a number of cases,
none of them have yet been approved. | 0:22:05 | 0:22:09 | |
We believe many of these
cases could and should | 0:22:09 | 0:22:13 | |
have been taken forward. | 0:22:13 | 0:22:14 | |
Why can't you just go
in and shut the schools down? | 0:22:14 | 0:22:17 | |
My hands are tied. | 0:22:17 | 0:22:18 | |
We have no power to shut down. | 0:22:18 | 0:22:20 | |
We have the power
to enter and report. | 0:22:20 | 0:22:22 | |
That is as far as our powers go. | 0:22:22 | 0:22:24 | |
We can't even pick up
evidence that we find there. | 0:22:24 | 0:22:26 | |
The BBC understands ministers have
known about the presence | 0:22:26 | 0:22:28 | |
of unregistered schools
for nearly a decade. | 0:22:28 | 0:22:31 | |
Documents we've seen
show that in 2009, then | 0:22:31 | 0:22:33 | |
Education Secretary Ed Balls
was warned some schools | 0:22:33 | 0:22:36 | |
were operating illegally
without the most basic health, | 0:22:36 | 0:22:41 | |
safety, and welfare checks. | 0:22:41 | 0:22:46 | |
And this confidential advice note
reveals Ofsted warned | 0:22:46 | 0:22:50 | |
Education Secretary Nicky Morgan
urgent action was needed. | 0:22:50 | 0:22:52 | |
That was in 2015. | 0:22:52 | 0:22:57 | |
Shortly after, then Prime Minister
David Cameron made a promise. | 0:22:57 | 0:23:01 | |
I can announce this today. | 0:23:01 | 0:23:05 | |
If an institution is teaching
children intensively, | 0:23:05 | 0:23:10 | |
then whatever its religion,
we will, like any other school, make | 0:23:10 | 0:23:13 | |
it register so it can be inspected. | 0:23:13 | 0:23:15 | |
The Department for Education
declined to be interviewed | 0:23:15 | 0:23:18 | |
about our investigation. | 0:23:18 | 0:23:21 | |
It said it jointly agrees
with Ofsted if cases should be | 0:23:21 | 0:23:24 | |
recommended for prosecution. | 0:23:24 | 0:23:25 | |
And it says where a school
is operating illegally | 0:23:25 | 0:23:27 | |
action must be taken. | 0:23:27 | 0:23:30 | |
Meanwhile, hundreds of these schools
are still running and thousands | 0:23:30 | 0:23:32 | |
of children are left at risk
of extremism, uninspected teaching, | 0:23:32 | 0:23:35 | |
Lucy Manning, BBC News. | 0:23:35 | 0:23:43 | |
A man has admitted killing three
teenage boys in a car crash | 0:23:45 | 0:23:50 | |
in west London last month. | 0:23:50 | 0:23:53 | |
The court heard Jaynesh Chudasama
was more than two and a half times | 0:23:53 | 0:23:56 | |
over the alcohol limit,
and speeding, when his car hit | 0:23:56 | 0:23:58 | |
the three teenagers,
who were on their way | 0:23:58 | 0:24:00 | |
to a birthday party. | 0:24:00 | 0:24:03 | |
Russia's President Putin has ordered
a daily ceasefire to enable | 0:24:03 | 0:24:05 | |
civilians to leave the rebel-held
area of Eastern Ghouta in Syria. | 0:24:05 | 0:24:09 | |
The area has been subject
to an intense bombardment by Syrian | 0:24:09 | 0:24:12 | |
government forces backed by Russia
for more than week. | 0:24:12 | 0:24:19 | |
Our chief international
correspondent Lyse Doucet is here. | 0:24:19 | 0:24:23 | |
What's your reading of what the
Russians are trying to do here? I | 0:24:23 | 0:24:28 | |
suppose if you are the main foreign
military power in Syria then you | 0:24:28 | 0:24:33 | |
must feel you can literally call the
shots. What Russia is doing is | 0:24:33 | 0:24:38 | |
unilaterally rewriting what had been
a rare Security Council resolution | 0:24:38 | 0:24:43 | |
on Syria at the weekend which called
for a 30 day, 24-hour ceasefire. | 0:24:43 | 0:24:48 | |
They still Russian offer of a five
hour daily, that would still give a | 0:24:48 | 0:24:54 | |
desperately needed residents of
Eastern Ghouta, including those who | 0:24:54 | 0:24:57 | |
are living in basements to avoid the
intense bombardment. Russia has made | 0:24:57 | 0:25:01 | |
it clear, as it has in the past when
there has been a rare pause, that | 0:25:01 | 0:25:05 | |
certain groups would be excluded. In
the case of Eastern Ghouta, it means | 0:25:05 | 0:25:10 | |
an Al-Qaeda linked group with
hundreds of fighters. This time | 0:25:10 | 0:25:13 | |
Russia says it will include the
partners of this group. By | 0:25:13 | 0:25:16 | |
definition, this pause will not be
perfect. As for the humanitarian | 0:25:16 | 0:25:23 | |
corridors, Russia made the same
offer in Aleppo in the last stages | 0:25:23 | 0:25:25 | |
of a brutal battle there in 2016, we
saw it on the ground. Many people | 0:25:25 | 0:25:29 | |
were too afraid to leave, many did
not have anywhere to go. In some | 0:25:29 | 0:25:34 | |
cases, rebel groups stopped them
from going. In Eastern Ghouta now | 0:25:34 | 0:25:39 | |
there are more people, more fear,
more at stake on the outskirts of | 0:25:39 | 0:25:43 | |
Damascus. In a war that some like to
say is over, it's just getting worse | 0:25:43 | 0:25:47 | |
for many Syrians. Lyse Doucet, chief
international correspondent, thank | 0:25:47 | 0:25:51 | |
you. | 0:25:51 | 0:25:53 | |
In China, President Xi Jinping
is all set to stay in power | 0:25:53 | 0:25:56 | |
for decades to come
following a decision | 0:25:56 | 0:25:58 | |
by the Communist Party to remove
the limits on presidential | 0:25:58 | 0:26:00 | |
terms in office. | 0:26:00 | 0:26:03 | |
Mr Xi had been due to leave office
in 2023, after a decade in the post. | 0:26:03 | 0:26:07 | |
The decision will cement his status
as the most powerful leader of China | 0:26:07 | 0:26:10 | |
for the past four decades,
as our Beijing correspondent | 0:26:10 | 0:26:12 | |
John Sudworth reports. | 0:26:12 | 0:26:15 | |
CHANTING. | 0:26:15 | 0:26:17 | |
It's no secret that Xi Jinping has
been tightening his grip on power. | 0:26:17 | 0:26:21 | |
This is just the most recent display
of tubthumping military loyalty. | 0:26:21 | 0:26:29 | |
But now, a defining
moment has been reached. | 0:26:31 | 0:26:36 | |
State media reports of closed-door
party meetings confirmed | 0:26:36 | 0:26:40 | |
that the two-term limit
is to be scrapped. | 0:26:40 | 0:26:43 | |
There's nothing to fear,
his supporters argue. | 0:26:43 | 0:26:47 | |
Mr Xi, the benevolent
father figure, is staying | 0:26:47 | 0:26:50 | |
on for the good of the nation. | 0:26:50 | 0:26:53 | |
China has become such
a developed country, | 0:26:53 | 0:26:59 | |
the middle-class is increasing
in size, as well as in the number | 0:26:59 | 0:27:02 | |
of wealth they command. | 0:27:02 | 0:27:03 | |
I don't think anyone in China,
either in the party or outside | 0:27:03 | 0:27:06 | |
the party, would sit tight to allow
the return of a despot or tyrant | 0:27:06 | 0:27:09 | |
back onto the political stage. | 0:27:09 | 0:27:12 | |
But one ruler still casts a long
shadow here - Chairman Mao. | 0:27:12 | 0:27:19 | |
The two-term limit was
introduced after his death | 0:27:19 | 0:27:23 | |
to keep tyranny at bay. | 0:27:23 | 0:27:27 | |
Zhang Bao Cheng, an activist jailed
for mild dissent in the past, | 0:27:27 | 0:27:33 | |
is one of the few daring to publicly
criticise the change. | 0:27:33 | 0:27:39 | |
TRANSLATION: If a leader
stays in office too long, | 0:27:39 | 0:27:44 | |
and if power becomes too
concentrated, then eventually | 0:27:44 | 0:27:48 | |
power becomes evil. | 0:27:48 | 0:27:52 | |
For most people, though, criticism
is best kept in the shadows. | 0:27:52 | 0:27:58 | |
The striking of just a few words
from China's constitution marks | 0:27:58 | 0:28:02 | |
the biggest political shift
in decades, with far | 0:28:02 | 0:28:05 | |
reaching implications. | 0:28:05 | 0:28:09 | |
Out go regular, orderly transitions,
as the world's second-largest | 0:28:09 | 0:28:12 | |
economy finds itself in the hands
of a man with total, | 0:28:12 | 0:28:16 | |
unfettered power, indefinitely. | 0:28:16 | 0:28:20 | |
Behind the appearance of strength
lies the risk of instability. | 0:28:20 | 0:28:26 | |
A rising superpower has just
torn up its rule book. | 0:28:26 | 0:28:31 | |
John Sudworth, BBC News, Beijing. | 0:28:31 | 0:28:37 | |
Theresa May's offer
to redraft the flagship | 0:28:37 | 0:28:40 | |
Brexit legislation,
to address the concerns | 0:28:40 | 0:28:42 | |
of the devolved administrations,
has been dismissed by the Scottish | 0:28:42 | 0:28:44 | |
and Welsh governments. | 0:28:44 | 0:28:46 | |
At stake is the way
powers would be returned | 0:28:46 | 0:28:49 | |
from Brussels after Brexit. | 0:28:49 | 0:28:51 | |
Ministers at Westminster claim
that the "vast majority" of powers | 0:28:51 | 0:28:55 | |
would go to Edinburgh,
Cardiff and Belfast. | 0:28:55 | 0:28:58 | |
But the Scottish government says
the current legislation | 0:28:58 | 0:29:00 | |
is an "attack on devolution". | 0:29:00 | 0:29:01 | |
Our Scotland editor,
Sarah Smith, is in Peterhead - | 0:29:01 | 0:29:04 | |
the largest fishing port in the UK. | 0:29:04 | 0:29:09 | |
Tell us more about the concerns of
the devolved administrations. | 0:29:09 | 0:29:16 | |
Fisheries is one of the policies
that will be coming back from | 0:29:16 | 0:29:20 | |
Brussels after Brexit, along with
things like agriculture and the | 0:29:20 | 0:29:24 | |
environment. And these are policy
areas that already devolved to | 0:29:24 | 0:29:28 | |
Scotland, Wales and Northern
Ireland. That's why the devolved | 0:29:28 | 0:29:32 | |
administrations accuse the UK
Government of a power grab when they | 0:29:32 | 0:29:35 | |
said that initially these powers
would be returning to Westminster. | 0:29:35 | 0:29:38 | |
Today they have reversed that
position and say the presumption is | 0:29:38 | 0:29:42 | |
these powers, when they come back to
the UK, will reside at a devolved | 0:29:42 | 0:29:46 | |
level. That should have taken us
closer to agreement. But, and there | 0:29:46 | 0:29:53 | |
is always a but, the UK Government
say they need to retain some control | 0:29:53 | 0:29:56 | |
because they need to make sure there
are common, UK wide legislation | 0:29:56 | 0:30:02 | |
around things like food hygiene,
hygiene standards and food | 0:30:02 | 0:30:07 | |
labelling. That's unacceptable to
the Scottish Government and Nicola | 0:30:07 | 0:30:09 | |
Sturgeon has said it's an effective
veto over the Scottish Parliament | 0:30:09 | 0:30:12 | |
and it is not something she will
agree to. Sarah Smith, Scottish | 0:30:12 | 0:30:17 | |
correspondent at Peterhead, thank
you. | 0:30:17 | 0:30:20 | |
Britain's athletes have returned
from their most successful | 0:30:20 | 0:30:22 | |
Winter Olympics ever. | 0:30:22 | 0:30:23 | |
Team GB brought back five
medals from South Korea - | 0:30:23 | 0:30:25 | |
one gold and four bronze -
beating their previous record, | 0:30:25 | 0:30:28 | |
as our sports correspondent
Joe Wilson reports. | 0:30:28 | 0:30:29 | |
Flags at Heathrow for everyone. | 0:30:29 | 0:30:31 | |
A calm welcome home. | 0:30:31 | 0:30:32 | |
CHEERING. | 0:30:32 | 0:30:36 | |
But Olympic medallist
means a new status, even | 0:30:36 | 0:30:38 | |
amongst old friends. | 0:30:38 | 0:30:39 | |
COMMENTATOR: Lizzy Yarnold next. | 0:30:39 | 0:30:43 | |
The record investment at £28 million
of lottery funding from UK Sport | 0:30:43 | 0:30:46 | |
brought five medals,
including Lizzy Yarnold's | 0:30:46 | 0:30:48 | |
memorable gold. | 0:30:48 | 0:30:49 | |
I wondered what her legacy could be. | 0:30:49 | 0:30:52 | |
There are many escalators
in Britain, but no skeleton | 0:30:52 | 0:30:54 | |
courses to slide down. | 0:30:54 | 0:30:56 | |
We are not a snow nation,
we're not an ice nation. | 0:30:56 | 0:31:00 | |
So the inspirational message I take
to schools is that I grew up in Kent | 0:31:00 | 0:31:04 | |
and I loved sport and I just wanted
to be an Olympian. | 0:31:04 | 0:31:10 | |
But I ended up going, doing my best,
and coming home with a gold medal. | 0:31:10 | 0:31:13 | |
And I was a normal kid from Kent. | 0:31:13 | 0:31:15 | |
COMMENTATOR: Absolutely
stratospheric. | 0:31:15 | 0:31:17 | |
The fact remains, if you want
to excel in winter sports, | 0:31:17 | 0:31:20 | |
you have to travel abroad. | 0:31:20 | 0:31:22 | |
There are some Olympic sports
which are far easier to play | 0:31:22 | 0:31:25 | |
in every town and city
in Great Britain. | 0:31:25 | 0:31:27 | |
Like this one. | 0:31:27 | 0:31:31 | |
British basketball has even been
discussed in the House | 0:31:31 | 0:31:33 | |
of Commons recently. | 0:31:33 | 0:31:36 | |
It has mass participation amongst
young people but isn't considered | 0:31:36 | 0:31:39 | |
likely to win Olympic medals,
and so doesn't get UK Sport funding. | 0:31:39 | 0:31:43 | |
We are in danger of
losing national teams. | 0:31:43 | 0:31:45 | |
It's got to be looked at now. | 0:31:45 | 0:31:49 | |
It's not just re-evaluating,
not just talking about my sport, | 0:31:49 | 0:31:52 | |
talking about all sports,
the way they are funded. | 0:31:52 | 0:31:55 | |
We are at a crucial point. | 0:31:55 | 0:31:58 | |
Some sports are given huge amounts
of money and it is a very low | 0:31:58 | 0:32:02 | |
participation sport. | 0:32:02 | 0:32:03 | |
UK Sport exists to turn
lottery money into medals, | 0:32:03 | 0:32:05 | |
which everyone enjoys. | 0:32:05 | 0:32:06 | |
But, like sliding on ice,
the secret to funding | 0:32:06 | 0:32:08 | |
may well be balance. | 0:32:08 | 0:32:09 | |
