Ecuador is hit by its most powerful earthquake for decades -

:00:07.:00:10.

more than 200 people have been killed.

:00:11.:00:15.

In the worst hit areas along the Pacific coast -

:00:16.:00:18.

it's a race against time to find any survivors trapped under the rubble.

:00:19.:00:25.

a new warning tonight from the Treasury.

In Brazil, thousands are on the march as Parliament

:00:42.:00:49.

An investigation begins after a British Airways pilot

:00:50.:00:51.

says his plane was hit by a drone as it approached Heathrow.

:00:52.:00:59.

The government of Ecuador has declared a state of emergency in six

:01:00.:01:23.

provinces after the country was hit by its strongest

:01:24.:01:25.

At least 235 people have been killed and more than 1500 injured.

:01:26.:01:33.

The 7.8 magnitude quake struck about a hundred miles

:01:34.:01:37.

north west of the capital Quito - with the epicentre just outside

:01:38.:01:40.

Tonight, rescue teams are still pulling people out of the rubble.

:01:41.:01:46.

From Quito, our correspondent Katy Watson has just

:01:47.:01:48.

In a country used to earthquakes, nobody is ever prepared

:01:49.:01:57.

Rescuers desperately try to free a small child from the rubble.

:01:58.:02:19.

Rescuers tried to free a child from the rubble. She is free. The small

:02:20.:02:32.

coastal town in the north-west of the country was one of the worst

:02:33.:02:37.

hit. Residents slept outside, fearful of more to come will stop

:02:38.:02:42.

rescuers are doing what they can with limited resources. The town

:02:43.:02:46.

mayor called for more help. This woman said the third floor of an

:02:47.:02:50.

TRANSLATION: They are all there, my family.

:02:51.:02:56.

They must rescue them from the rubble.

:02:57.:03:00.

The death toll is still expected to rise, as rescue

:03:01.:03:09.

The capital Quito was more than 100 miles from the earthquake epicentre

:03:10.:04:04.

but even here supermarket shelves rattled, sending bottles flying. The

:04:05.:04:07.

power in parts of the city was cut, causing people to panic, unsure of

:04:08.:04:09.

what was happening. When the earthquake struck, the president was

:04:10.:04:11.

on business in Italy. He cut short the trip to fly home immediately.

:04:12.:04:14.

This was the worst earthquake to hit in decades. The president called it

:04:15.:04:16.

a national emergency and urged Ecuadorians to stay strong. Some of

:04:17.:04:19.

the poorest parts are hardest hit. People continue to look for loved

ones and grief of those who died,. it claims, shows the potential cost

:04:21.:04:25.

the details joins me now. The government is trying to keep the

:04:28.:04:34.

pressure on to constantly remind the public of this argument it would

:04:35.:04:36.

cost the economy hugely if we left the European Union. Tomorrow I am

:04:37.:04:39.

told there will be a 200 page report written by economists of the

:04:40.:04:41.

Treasury saying the cost households by 2030 will be ?4300, because, the

:04:42.:04:45.

report will claim, the economy will be 6% smaller if we were to leave

:04:46.:04:50.

the EU. Why? Because trade barriers would be thrown up to our biggest

:04:51.:04:55.

trading partners in the EU and investment would fall in Britain,

:04:56.:05:00.

because businesses were moved to the single currency area on the

:05:01.:05:04.

continent. Those that argue we should leave the EU, that it would

:05:05.:05:10.

be good for the economy, say it is more scaremongering by a government

:05:11.:05:16.

panicked by the closeness in the polls in the June 23 referendum and

:05:17.:05:20.

also that the government has been wrong before on its judgment of the

:05:21.:05:22.

value of the EU market. It's already been hit

:05:23.:05:27.

by a recession, a corruption scandal Now Brazil is facing

:05:28.:05:30.

the prospect of its President Brazilian politicians

:05:31.:05:33.

are voting on a bid to impeach Dilma Rousseff,

:05:34.:05:42.

who's accused of tampering with government accounts

:05:43.:05:44.

to hide a growing deficit. Her supporters say the proceedings

amount to a coup and there are big Let's join Wyre Davies

in the capital Brasilia. The government opponents, the two

:05:50.:06:02.

thirds majority in Congress, to force the impeachment trial. Voted

:06:03.:06:08.

has started. Opponents are cheering or booing as the votes come in on

:06:09.:06:13.

the big screen. Brazil's first female president, who had been

:06:14.:06:17.

looking forward to welcoming the Olympics this summer, may no longer

:06:18.:06:23.

be around to witness the moment. Twice elected President of Brazil,

:06:24.:06:30.

Dilma Rousseff is fighting for her political life, the first woman

:06:31.:06:33.

leader is still a champion to many and supporters came to the capital

:06:34.:06:38.

in her defence. But she is on the verge of being removed from office

:06:39.:06:45.

by a hostile Congress. Dilma Rousseff faces impeachment

:06:46.:06:48.

overcharges she manipulated government accounts to hide the

:06:49.:06:52.

state of the economy. Ironically many congressmen sitting in judgment

:06:53.:06:56.

on the president, including the Speaker, have been accused of more

:06:57.:07:02.

serious crimes of embezzlement and corruption. Government opponents

:07:03.:07:07.

deny this is in effect a constitutional coup to get rid of an

:07:08.:07:11.

unpopular leader. TRANSLATION: She is not on her way out because she is

:07:12.:07:17.

incompetent, says the opposition lawmaker. She is going because she

:07:18.:07:23.

has taken the country over the edge and the economy is in a mess. It has

:07:24.:07:30.

been three days of nonstop debate. Heated arguments in Congress and a

:07:31.:07:34.

deeply divided country. Nothing exemplifies the divisions quite like

of further earthquakes - after two that struck

in the last three days. More than 40 people have been killed

and many more are still missing. Rupert Wingfield Hayes reports

is lined by the shattered Some houses have been

thrown into nearby fields. This building was originally four

storeys, so two of them have been What's even more extraordinary

is how many cars in the village have been found like this,

up and tossed them over On Friday night, this dormitory

stoicism. But food, water and space

:12:32.:12:37.

are all in short supply. And still no one knows when it

:12:38.:12:42.

will be safe to go home. Police are investigating reports

:12:43.:12:54.

that a British Airways plane was hit by a drone as it was coming

:12:55.:12:57.

in to land at Heathrow The Civil Aviation Authority says,

:12:58.:13:00.

if confirmed, it would be the first incident

:13:01.:13:08.

of its kind in Britain. Let's get the latest

:13:09.:13:10.

from our correspondent Richard Galpin who's

:13:11.:13:11.

at Heathrow this evening. How much do we know about what

:13:12.:13:20.

happened? What we know is this was a BA flight coming in from Geneva at

:13:21.:13:25.

lunchtime today and had 132 passengers on board. As they came in

:13:26.:13:31.

to land, the pilot reported the front of the aeroplane had been hit

:13:32.:13:36.

by what he believed to be a drone. It did not seem to cause any damage

:13:37.:13:41.

and the plane was able to land safely. The authorities are taking

:13:42.:13:47.

this very seriously. The police have launched an investigation. There

:13:48.:13:52.

have not been any arrests. The worry is a drone hitting an aircraft, for

:13:53.:13:57.

example it could hit the engine and cause engine failure, or smash into

:13:58.:14:02.

the cockpit which would have catastrophic consequences. It is a

:14:03.:14:07.

concern, particularly as so many people have their own drones. The

:14:08.:14:13.

Civil Aviation Authority say it is not acceptable for anyone to fly a

:14:14.:14:17.

drain near an airport and anyone persecuted could face up to five

:14:18.:14:19.

years in prison. Libya's new unity government has

:14:20.:14:23.

warned that so-called Islamic State could take over two thirds

:14:24.:14:25.

of the country. Last year IS established a

:14:26.:14:42.

stronghold in the town of Sirte. The country has been plagued by

:14:43.:14:44.

instability since the fall of Colonel Gaddafi.

:14:45.:14:50.

From Tripoli, our correspondent Orla Guerin sent this report.

:14:51.:14:52.

Is Libya finally moving toward stability?

:14:53.:14:53.

But many here are watching and waiting to see if the competing

:14:54.:14:57.

militias and warring factions can be brought under one roof.

:14:58.:15:02.

A small crowd gathers in Tripoli's Martyrs'

:15:03.:15:06.

Square, welcoming Libya's new unity government.

:15:07.:15:12.

It arrived a few weeks ago, backed by the UN.

:15:13.:15:18.

The problem is there are two governments here

:15:19.:15:20.

And there is another cause for concern.

:15:21.:15:26.

The so-called Islamic State is now altering the equation here.

:15:27.:15:31.

The unity government warns the extremists could take over

:15:32.:15:34.

TRANSLATION: Libya does not have a strong figure who can

:15:35.:15:41.

lead the army or even the militias to fight this enemy.

:15:42.:15:43.

They will spread quickly, especially in the

:15:44.:15:45.

This area is weak and they could occupy it in minutes.

:15:46.:15:50.

If so, they will control two thirds of the

When the west started bombing the Libyan leader's compound

:15:53.:15:58.

in Tripoli in 2011, things were not supposed to turn out like this.

:15:59.:16:02.

Britain, and other nations involved, have been accused of not doing

:16:03.:16:04.

Five years after Nato intervened here

:16:05.:16:11.

against Colonel Gaddafi, this country is divided and unstable.

:16:12.:16:14.

And once again it is a growing concern

:16:15.:16:16.

The success or failure of the new unity

:16:17.:16:25.

government has implications not just for Libya, but also for its

:16:26.:16:28.

The scars of war remain here, but many

:16:29.:16:34.

want to look beyond the prism of conflict.

:16:35.:16:38.

We visited Misrata during the revolution, with Gaddafi

:16:39.:16:42.

Abdel Hamid Gherwash refused to leave his home

:16:43.:16:49.

Two of his nephews died for the new Libya.

:16:50.:16:57.

Today, he is still there, ready to forgive their killers and

:16:58.:17:00.

hoping the new government can succeed.

:17:01.:17:03.

Forget all about war, guns, violence, enemies.

:17:04.:17:10.

We have to build up Libya back again.

:17:11.:17:21.

That means the fragile new government must secure streets

:17:22.:17:23.

There is a growing sense that Libya needs help.

:17:24.:17:29.

But some in Britain may be gun shy about getting involved here again.

Leicester City scored an injury time penalty to ensure they came away

The controversial 2-all draw means Leicester have an eight-point lead

countryside and this picture-perfect Today it is a family home

and it was while converting a barn into a games room that

:21:15.:21:20.

the truth began to emerge. We swept the mud back

:21:21.:21:23.

from this hard, flat surface and there was this perfect mosaic

:21:24.:21:30.

in brilliant colours. The colours as of

:21:31.:21:33.

the day it was laid. More excavations followed,

:21:34.:21:35.

unearthing the remains of one of the largest Roman villas

:21:36.:21:37.

ever found in Britain. It's difficult to imagine just how

:21:38.:21:42.

imposing this villa would have been. Archaeologists think

:21:43.:21:46.

it was at least three storeys high and the front courtyard

alone would have taken up Experts say a discovery

on this scale is of huge national and

international significance. You just don't find
