England face an Ashes white wash. Good evening. The former world | :00:41. | :01:03. | |
moator racing champion, Michael Schumacher, is in a critical | :01:04. | :01:05. | |
condition in hospital after he suffered a head injury, skiing in | :01:06. | :01:10. | |
the French Alps. He fell and hit a rock whilst skiing off piste with | :01:11. | :01:15. | |
his son near the resort of Meribel. Tonight the former racing driver is | :01:16. | :01:21. | |
in a coma after undergoing brain surgery. | :01:22. | :01:23. | |
This evening, Michael Schumacher is being treated by trauma specialists | :01:24. | :01:29. | |
in this hospital in Grenoble. In the past few minutes the hospital said | :01:30. | :01:32. | |
he was admitted in a coma with a severe head injury which required | :01:33. | :01:37. | |
immediate neurosurgery. Michael Schumacher is an experienced | :01:38. | :01:41. | |
skier. He was off piste with his 14-year-old son when he had the | :01:42. | :01:45. | |
fall, cracking his head against a rock. But he was wearing a helmet | :01:46. | :01:50. | |
and he remained conscious. Officials at the resort, at the time, said the | :01:51. | :01:54. | |
injury was serious but not life-threatening. | :01:55. | :01:58. | |
Initially he was taken by helicopter to a small local medical centre but | :01:59. | :02:02. | |
later, in a sign that his condition might be worse than thought, he was | :02:03. | :02:10. | |
moved to a much bigger hospital. Now aged 44, Michael Schumacher is | :02:11. | :02:14. | |
the most successful Formula 1 driver of all time. | :02:15. | :02:18. | |
Winning the world title seven times. He finally retired only last year. | :02:19. | :02:23. | |
He is a man highly atuned to the thrills of high speed sport but, of | :02:24. | :02:28. | |
course, to its dangers, too. Well, hue Schofield reporting. He | :02:29. | :02:34. | |
joins us live now from Paris. Things look pretty serious, don't they, for | :02:35. | :02:39. | |
Schumacher tonight? Well they look much more serious than we thought | :02:40. | :02:42. | |
they were, that's for sure. We were led to believe, really it was a | :02:43. | :02:44. | |
light accident that wouldn't require much more than a bit of treatment in | :02:45. | :02:48. | |
the local hospital. But now it seems it is serious and we have had this | :02:49. | :02:51. | |
statement just in the last few minutes, really, saying he is in a | :02:52. | :02:55. | |
critical state and he was indeed in a coma when he arrived in the | :02:56. | :03:00. | |
hospital. His family are there. And this - France's top trauma | :03:01. | :03:05. | |
specialist has flown down from Paris in another sign this is being taken | :03:06. | :03:08. | |
very seriously indeed. It seems likely that he walked initially away | :03:09. | :03:12. | |
from the injury or the accident, without too many signs of it doing | :03:13. | :03:17. | |
any damage, but maybe at this first hospital, while he was being | :03:18. | :03:20. | |
treated, maybe he lost consciousness there. Maybe there was some | :03:21. | :03:23. | |
bleeding, we just don't know. Thank you very much. | :03:24. | :03:28. | |
At least 16 people have been killed in a huge explosion at a railway | :03:29. | :03:32. | |
station in southern Russia. A suicide bomber carried out the | :03:33. | :03:35. | |
attack in the city of Volgograd. It's the greatest in a series of | :03:36. | :03:39. | |
bombings by separatist Islamist groups in the North Caucasus, ahead | :03:40. | :03:43. | |
of the winter Olympic Games which begin in the Russian city of Sochi | :03:44. | :03:52. | |
in six weeks' time. Volgograd's Central railway station | :03:53. | :03:55. | |
inthe moment a bomb went off in the entrance hall at lunch time, | :03:56. | :03:59. | |
instantly killing many of the passengers. Investigators at first | :04:00. | :04:03. | |
said it was the work of a female suicide bomber who had blown herself | :04:04. | :04:08. | |
up just inside the building, at the exact spot where the metal detectors | :04:09. | :04:12. | |
were. Later, they said the bomber may in fact have been a man. The | :04:13. | :04:18. | |
Kremlin immediately ordered railway stations and airports to step up | :04:19. | :04:22. | |
security. President Putin told his law enforcement services to do | :04:23. | :04:26. | |
everything that was necessary to keep people safe. | :04:27. | :04:31. | |
Russia is grieving. The immediate concern is for the injured and the | :04:32. | :04:36. | |
relatives of the dead. The New Year is the big, annual family holiday | :04:37. | :04:40. | |
here. For 16 fwamlies today t became a time of mourning. | :04:41. | :04:44. | |
-- it became. But Russia is also due to host the | :04:45. | :04:48. | |
Winter Olympics in six weeks' time. The eyes of the world are on the | :04:49. | :04:53. | |
host city, Sochi, just 400 miles from Volgograd. | :04:54. | :04:57. | |
There have always been security worries about staging the Olympics, | :04:58. | :05:02. | |
so close to Russia's troubled republics of Chechnya and Dagestan. | :05:03. | :05:09. | |
In June, one of the leaders of the Islamist insurgency there, dom cue | :05:10. | :05:14. | |
um rof called on his supporters to use maximum force to disrupt what he | :05:15. | :05:20. | |
called, the satanic games. I was always saying that people were | :05:21. | :05:42. | |
responding to cock due um rof's callings. President Putin has done | :05:43. | :05:47. | |
all he can to reassure the international -- respond responding | :05:48. | :05:56. | |
to Doku Umarov. It is not far from Beslan, the scene | :05:57. | :06:04. | |
where children were killed nine years ago. Today's scene was just a | :06:05. | :06:12. | |
reminder that you cannot guarantee security in Russia. | :06:13. | :06:15. | |
Account Russian authorities realistically talk of guaranteeing | :06:16. | :06:20. | |
safety in any way for their own people indeed and of course for the | :06:21. | :06:23. | |
Olympic Games? Or the winter Olympics? Well, there will be | :06:24. | :06:27. | |
extraordinary security in so muchia in an attempt to protect the | :06:28. | :06:32. | |
athletes and spectators, drones will be hovering over the area with the | :06:33. | :06:35. | |
ability to zoom in on people's faces and zoom in over number plates. | :06:36. | :06:40. | |
There is antiaircraft missile battery. All cars registered outside | :06:41. | :06:44. | |
Sochi will be banned from entering the city. There will be extensive | :06:45. | :06:48. | |
surveillance systems to monitor phone calls and e-mails. Physical | :06:49. | :06:52. | |
security will be quite difficult. It's bounded by very high mountains | :06:53. | :06:56. | |
on one side and the Black Sea on the other which gives opportunities for | :06:57. | :07:00. | |
anyone who wants to get into the area, unnoticed. Today reminds us | :07:01. | :07:05. | |
that anyone wanting to make a point during the Sochi Winter Olympics | :07:06. | :07:08. | |
doesn't have to do that in Sochi. Any bomb in any major city in Russia | :07:09. | :07:13. | |
will attract maximum international attention, cause maximum | :07:14. | :07:16. | |
embarrassment to President Putin's Government and that, of course, is | :07:17. | :07:22. | |
what the bombers want. Here a voluntary register of all | :07:23. | :07:25. | |
breast implant operations is to be set up in England. It follow the | :07:26. | :07:30. | |
scandal involving dangerous implants supplied by the French company. PIP. | :07:31. | :07:34. | |
New qualifications for cosmetic surgeons will be introduced, along | :07:35. | :07:38. | |
with tighter rules on the marketing of procedures. | :07:39. | :07:42. | |
The leader of the UK Independence Party, nighing ale Farage, has said | :07:43. | :07:47. | |
some refugees from the war in Syria should be allowed to come to | :07:48. | :07:51. | |
Britain. -- Nigel Farage. He said Western countries had a | :07:52. | :07:55. | |
doubty to offer sang Toure. The Government has failed to let any | :07:56. | :07:58. | |
refugees into the UK, arguing it is better to offer financial support. | :07:59. | :08:07. | |
It's a conflict that has created hardship and displaced millions. But | :08:08. | :08:10. | |
what should happen to the innocent victims? The UK leader, Nigel | :08:11. | :08:15. | |
Farage, such a strong advocate of reducing the number of economic | :08:16. | :08:18. | |
migrants entering Britain, says in this case we need to be more | :08:19. | :08:23. | |
generous. I think refugees are a very different thing to economic | :08:24. | :08:27. | |
migration. I think this country should honour the spirit of the 1951 | :08:28. | :08:33. | |
declaration on refugee status that was agreed and I think actually | :08:34. | :08:36. | |
there is a responsibility on all of us in the free West to try to help | :08:37. | :08:41. | |
some of those people fleeing Syria, literally in fear of their lives. | :08:42. | :08:45. | |
The United Nations is calling for a global effort to help those | :08:46. | :08:48. | |
struggling in Syria. The UN wants richer countries to take in a total | :08:49. | :08:53. | |
of 30,000 refugees. Germany's offered to accept 10,000 people. | :08:54. | :09:01. | |
France is taking 500, in contrast, 18 EU countries, including the UK, | :09:02. | :09:06. | |
are refusing to take any. But the UK is the most generous cash donor, | :09:07. | :09:10. | |
pledging more than ?500 million in aid. | :09:11. | :09:14. | |
The Prime Minister has visited refugee camps in Jordan to see some | :09:15. | :09:20. | |
of the suffering for himself. Labour says it'll allow around 500 people | :09:21. | :09:25. | |
to enter Britain and some Conservative backbenchers are urging | :09:26. | :09:30. | |
the Government to soften its mind. I think the Government will change its | :09:31. | :09:34. | |
mind. Britain is an open and tolerant society. We can't take all | :09:35. | :09:38. | |
the refugees from Syria but I think we should abid by international | :09:39. | :09:42. | |
commitments and take some, 1,000 or 2,000. There is no sign of that | :09:43. | :09:46. | |
changing yet, despite the increasing pressure but the Government's more | :09:47. | :09:49. | |
worried about immigration of a different kind. Restrictions on | :09:50. | :09:53. | |
workers from Romania and Bulgaria will be lifted on Wednesday and | :09:54. | :09:56. | |
ministers don't know how many will come. | :09:57. | :10:02. | |
Two men have been arrested, one on suspicion of arson, after fire broke | :10:03. | :10:05. | |
out on a North Sea ferry shortly after it set sail from North Shields | :10:06. | :10:11. | |
for amster da. Six people were flown to hospital by RAF helicopter and | :10:12. | :10:15. | |
the ferry was forced to return to Tyneside. | :10:16. | :10:20. | |
In the middle of the night, a fire on MS king seaways, with more than | :10:21. | :10:28. | |
900 passengers on board. Frightened and confused they were dragged from | :10:29. | :10:31. | |
their beds and up on to the decks. There is a fire on board. Everybody | :10:32. | :10:36. | |
is coming to the lifeboats. This photo, taken by a passenger, | :10:37. | :10:40. | |
shows the damage done to the cabin. It was really thick smoke. You could | :10:41. | :10:45. | |
smell it. There was a lot of panic from some people, with kids, | :10:46. | :10:48. | |
obviously they were panicking. Our cabin was five doors away from the | :10:49. | :10:53. | |
fire. Quite scary as the whole place filled with smoke. RAF helicopters | :10:54. | :10:58. | |
winched six people to safety. They were flown to Scarborough hospital | :10:59. | :11:04. | |
and treatedes for smoke inhalation. Therefore four doctors on board, | :11:05. | :11:07. | |
travelling as passengers. They treated the people. Luckily it was | :11:08. | :11:10. | |
down to just six people requiring evacuation. Five of them being crew | :11:11. | :11:14. | |
members who had been involved with fighting the fire and one was a | :11:15. | :11:18. | |
prenanted lady. Police were waiting when the ferry returned to North | :11:19. | :11:23. | |
North Shields. Passengers were then kept on board for more than four | :11:24. | :11:28. | |
hours while they probable ducted inquiries. Two men were arrested, | :11:29. | :11:33. | |
one on suspicion of arson, the other on suspicion of a fray. The other | :11:34. | :11:37. | |
passengers were released. Emotional and exhausted We were going to go | :11:38. | :11:41. | |
for a weekend, a couple of friends. Enjoy the day in Amsterdam, and come | :11:42. | :11:45. | |
home tonight. Never mind. Back to Carlile. They may not be where they | :11:46. | :11:48. | |
planned to be tonight but most passengers we spoke to were just | :11:49. | :11:52. | |
grateful that nobody had been seriously hurt. Many of them praised | :11:53. | :11:56. | |
staff on board for remaining calm but most importantly, containing a | :11:57. | :12:00. | |
fire that could have been a lot more dangerous. | :12:01. | :12:05. | |
So, for tonight, the MS cap king Seaway has become a floating hotel | :12:06. | :12:10. | |
as mass injuries spend the night on board. -- MS King Seaway. | :12:11. | :12:20. | |
Now, with the day's big sports news, Katie Gornall. | :12:21. | :12:22. | |
Good evening. England are on course for an Ashes | :12:23. | :12:26. | |
white wash after losing the fourth Test by eight wick totes go 4-0 down | :12:27. | :12:31. | |
in the Series. Alistair Cook says he wants to continue as England captain | :12:32. | :12:36. | |
but admits his latest defeat leaves his future uncertain. | :12:37. | :12:40. | |
Melbourne this morning and the fourth Test had reached a crucial | :12:41. | :12:44. | |
junction. Time and time again on this tour, England had failed. Now | :12:45. | :12:49. | |
finally, it seemed like things could go either way. | :12:50. | :12:54. | |
With Australia resuming on 30-0 but still needing a tricky 201 runs to | :12:55. | :12:58. | |
win, England had genuine hope but knew they had to take every chance | :12:59. | :13:03. | |
offered. Sadly for them, captain Alistair Cook squandered two almost | :13:04. | :13:07. | |
immediately. The first unfortunate. The second unforgivable. England's | :13:08. | :13:12. | |
lamentable fielding would cost them. Having been handed a reprieve, David | :13:13. | :13:17. | |
Warner were eventually snared by Stokes but it would prove a false | :13:18. | :13:21. | |
down. After two batting collapses yesterday, Chris Rodgers proved the | :13:22. | :13:26. | |
pitch was no excuse. He steered his side to victory with a brilliant | :13:27. | :13:30. | |
century after England ran out of idea. With Shane Watson in one day | :13:31. | :13:38. | |
mode, the end was mercilessly quick. Australia had romped home by eight | :13:39. | :13:42. | |
wickets. On a tour that has brugted daily disappointment, this is | :13:43. | :13:44. | |
arguably the most painful defeat of all, with England throwing away a | :13:45. | :13:48. | |
winning position. With the Ashes already gone, this could have been a | :13:49. | :13:52. | |
fresh start. Instead, the humiliation of a 5-0 white wash in | :13:53. | :13:57. | |
Sydney next week, now feels inevitable. | :13:58. | :14:01. | |
Well it's been an eventful day in the Premier League. All the goals | :14:02. | :14:05. | |
are coming up on match of the day 2, straight after the news, but if you | :14:06. | :14:09. | |
want to know the results now. Here they come: Arsenal will end the year | :14:10. | :14:13. | |
on top of the table after beating Newcastle United 1-0 at St James's's | :14:14. | :14:17. | |
park. Olivier Giroud scored the only goal of the game to lift his side | :14:18. | :14:22. | |
one point above Manchester City. Chelsea came depr behind to beat | :14:23. | :14:26. | |
Liverpool 2-1. Liverpool drop to fifth. Lu scored his first goal in | :14:27. | :14:35. | |
six matches for Everton -- Lukaku. Tottenham beat Stoke. Celtic remain | :14:36. | :14:38. | |
unbeaten in the Scottish Premiership after a 1-0 victory over Inverness | :14:39. | :14:43. | |
Caledonian Thistle. They were ahead after three minutes when Kris | :14:44. | :14:48. | |
Commons fired in his 15th goal of the season. The win sees Celtic | :14:49. | :14:52. | |
preserve their 11-point lead at the top of the table. That's all the | :14:53. | :14:54. | |
sport for now. Thank you. The main news again: The | :14:55. | :15:00. | |
former world motor racing champion, Michael Schumacher s critically ill | :15:01. | :15:04. | |
in a coma tonight, following a skiing accident in France. More on | :15:05. | :15:06. | |
that and on all today's millimetres. An amber warning in | :15:07. | :15:09. | |
force. Yellow warning is i th Good evening. | :15:10. | :15:28. | |
More heavy rain and strong winds are heading towards the Home Counties | :15:29. | :15:32. | |
tonight, bringing the risk of further flooding. There are fears | :15:33. | :15:36. | |
the rain could cause problem with the ground already waterlogged. | :15:37. | :15:40. | |
Sarah Morris went to Guildford where they're still recovering from the | :15:41. | :15:43. | |
Christmas storm. Five days ago, this is how central | :15:44. | :15:47. | |
Guildford looked. A submerged landscape studded with marooned | :15:48. | :15:52. | |
cars. The doors of buildings shut to the rising torrents but water | :15:53. | :15:55. | |
finding its way in and up through the ground anyway. | :15:56. | :15:59. | |
This was the scene today, the water back where it should be, but a damp | :16:00. | :16:04. | |
residue left behind for cleaning by the business owners still recovering | :16:05. | :16:07. | |
from the Christmas soaking. The water started to come in through | :16:08. | :16:11. | |
the ceiling. We have got an | :16:12. | :16:13. |
