Nearly 250 prisoners are moved after yesterday's | :00:00. | :00:07. | |
Fires were started in the unrest which lasted 12 hours | :00:08. | :00:13. | |
As the clean-up operation begins, a warning that the violence | :00:14. | :00:19. | |
is a symptom of understaffing and overcrowding in jails. | :00:20. | :00:22. | |
13 off-duty soldiers are killed and 56 injured after another | :00:23. | :00:31. | |
In rugby union's Champions Cup, Wasps suffer their first European | :00:32. | :00:36. | |
And a memorial service for the man who helped define America's | :00:37. | :00:42. | |
supremacy in space - John Glenn. | :00:43. | :01:06. | |
An investigation's under way after the worst violence | :01:07. | :01:16. | |
it was described, in an English prison for over 25 years. | :01:17. | :01:19. | |
Nearly 250 inmates from Birmingham prison have been transferred | :01:20. | :01:21. | |
to other jails after yesterday's rioting. | :01:22. | :01:23. | |
Four wings were damaged - two of them seriously. | :01:24. | :01:25. | |
The Prison Officers Association says more than two hundred | :01:26. | :01:27. | |
of their members had to be drafted in from other areas to get | :01:28. | :01:30. | |
Let's go to Birmingham and our correspondent, Dan Johnson. | :01:31. | :01:40. | |
Extra officers are on duty tonight and there is a easy operation to | :01:41. | :01:48. | |
still move prisoners. Van Zyl coming and going into the evening. 24 hours | :01:49. | :01:55. | |
ago this prison was almost lost. The keys and were in charge of about | :01:56. | :02:00. | |
half of the wings. This is still a prison on the edge. | :02:01. | :02:03. | |
A prison wing up in flames, apparently broadcast live | :02:04. | :02:05. | |
The result of a day of rioting when prisoners snatched | :02:06. | :02:14. | |
the keys and took control, smashing up cells, even | :02:15. | :02:17. | |
posting pictures wearing officers' riot gear. | :02:18. | :02:20. | |
Today, we got an idea of the tension that has built up here over recent | :02:21. | :02:23. | |
weeks from a prisoner released last month. | :02:24. | :02:27. | |
I would have to say it ends up being an accumulation of things, like not | :02:28. | :02:31. | |
being able to have a warm shower in the morning. | :02:32. | :02:36. | |
Or maybe you've been promised certain things, a part of | :02:37. | :02:42. | |
the regime, but because of staffing shortages, that has had to be | :02:43. | :02:45. | |
So when inmates rebelled, it took hundreds of riot-team | :02:46. | :02:48. | |
officers more than 12 hours to restore order | :02:49. | :02:51. | |
Today, prisoners were being ferried to other jails. | :02:52. | :02:59. | |
240 of the 600 who rioted have been moved as Birmingham returned to calm | :03:00. | :03:03. | |
There is significant damage to two wings, | :03:04. | :03:08. | |
New toilets going in, broken furniture coming out. | :03:09. | :03:12. | |
Strangeways, Manchester, 26 years ago. | :03:13. | :03:16. | |
The last time we saw rioting like this, the prison | :03:17. | :03:21. | |
officers union says, but prison bosses claim modern | :03:22. | :03:23. | |
issues are behind the current crisis. | :03:24. | :03:25. | |
Particularly a rise in the number of prisoners who come | :03:26. | :03:28. | |
into prison with violence, gang-related violence in particular, | :03:29. | :03:31. | |
and then a whole issue around psychoactive drugs, | :03:32. | :03:36. | |
legal highs as they used to be euphemistically called - | :03:37. | :03:40. | |
but our absolutely dangerous things that are now illegal and banned | :03:41. | :03:46. | |
but have been got into prisons and have changed the | :03:47. | :03:49. | |
This afternoon, more vans moving more prisoners. | :03:50. | :03:53. | |
The government says order is returning here, | :03:54. | :03:56. | |
but across the prison system there are still problems | :03:57. | :03:58. | |
with drugs and violence, fear and frustration. | :03:59. | :04:03. | |
Kitted up in case there is more trouble. | :04:04. | :04:06. | |
Police are investigating how this started and who was involved. | :04:07. | :04:14. | |
The Justice Secretary says they will face the full force of the law. | :04:15. | :04:17. | |
The Prison Officers Association has warned this latest unrest | :04:18. | :04:24. | |
is a symptom of understaffing and overcrowding in jails. | :04:25. | :04:26. | |
The government's pledged to recruit more officers - | :04:27. | :04:28. | |
but they won't be available immediately, as our home | :04:29. | :04:30. | |
affairs correspondent, Danny Shaw, reports. | :04:31. | :04:34. | |
Places of tension, anger and distress. | :04:35. | :04:41. | |
Where violence is never far from the surface and prison staff | :04:42. | :04:45. | |
We saw what it was like at Wandsworth Prison in south | :04:46. | :04:53. | |
In the past six weeks, the frustration and fury has boiled | :04:54. | :05:01. | |
First, a serious disturbance at Lewes prison in Sussex. | :05:02. | :05:08. | |
Then trouble at Bedford jail involving 200 offenders. | :05:09. | :05:11. | |
A day later two prisoners escaped from Pentonville, | :05:12. | :05:16. | |
where an inmate had been fatally stabbed the previous month, and now, | :05:17. | :05:21. | |
We've got to do something about staffing levels | :05:22. | :05:28. | |
and if we cannot get appropriately trained staff into our jails | :05:29. | :05:31. | |
as soon as possible, then we might have to look | :05:32. | :05:34. | |
at executive clemency to reduce the numbers of non-violent offenders | :05:35. | :05:37. | |
There are some 18,000 front-line prison officers | :05:38. | :05:42. | |
That is down almost 7000 on the number six years ago. | :05:43. | :05:49. | |
At the same time, there has been a small rise in the total | :05:50. | :05:52. | |
Two thirds, according to penal reform campaigners. | :05:53. | :06:04. | |
Added to all that is the problem of new synthetic drugs that are used | :06:05. | :06:08. | |
The government is promising extra staff, 2500 over the next two years. | :06:09. | :06:17. | |
Victorian prisons will be replaced by modern ones and new tests will be | :06:18. | :06:20. | |
introduced to improve the detection of drugs. | :06:21. | :06:22. | |
Meanwhile, prisons remain volatile places. | :06:23. | :06:28. | |
And the potential for trouble is heightened at Christmas, | :06:29. | :06:30. | |
when prisoners are separated from their families. | :06:31. | :06:32. | |
13 off-duty soldiers have been killed and 56 others injured | :06:33. | :06:39. | |
after a suicide car bomb attack in Turkey. | :06:40. | :06:43. | |
Many of the victims were members of a commando brigade | :06:44. | :06:45. | |
who were aboard a bus in the central city of Kayseri. | :06:46. | :06:48. | |
Turkish officials are blaming Kurdish militants. | :06:49. | :06:50. | |
Our Turkey correspondent Mark Lowen reports from Istanbul. | :06:51. | :06:57. | |
The latest target in Turkey's wave of terror. | :06:58. | :07:03. | |
It was hit this morning as it waited at a traffic light | :07:04. | :07:06. | |
A suicide bomber pulling up in a car. | :07:07. | :07:12. | |
On board were off-duty soldiers enjoying their weekend leave, | :07:13. | :07:14. | |
Some of the wounded were taken to intensive care | :07:15. | :07:19. | |
Kayseri, a largely peaceful industrial city, | :07:20. | :07:23. | |
TRANSLATION: As a result of this treacherous act, | :07:24. | :07:29. | |
These events will not weaken our determination | :07:30. | :07:34. | |
On the contrary, they will strengthen it. | :07:35. | :07:47. | |
It is a week since Turkey's last attack. | :07:48. | :07:51. | |
Twin bombs in Istanbul that killed 44 and injured dozens, | :07:52. | :07:53. | |
Kurdish militants said they were behind those blasts | :07:54. | :08:00. | |
and the PKK is again the prime suspect today - President Erdogan | :08:01. | :08:03. | |
referring to them as he blamed the separatist terrorist | :08:04. | :08:05. | |
Kurdish militants have hit police and military over the past year, | :08:06. | :08:10. | |
since the ceasefire with the Turkish state broke down. | :08:11. | :08:12. | |
So-called Islamic State have also bombed Turkey, | :08:13. | :08:14. | |
but have tended to strike public sites in Istanbul or Ankara. | :08:15. | :08:19. | |
And so arguably the most turbulent year in Turkey's history has become | :08:20. | :08:25. | |
even deadlier, as Turks ask which corner | :08:26. | :08:27. | |
of this country is really safe from the violence. | :08:28. | :08:29. | |
Reports from Syria suggest a deal is near to resume the evacuation | :08:30. | :08:36. | |
of thousands of civilians and fighters from rebel-held | :08:37. | :08:37. | |
Today convoys of buses were seen leaving eastern Aleppo | :08:38. | :08:44. | |
and were believed to be heading to help evacuate other people in two | :08:45. | :08:47. | |
villages in the north-east of the country. | :08:48. | :08:50. | |
Air travellers are facing serious disruption over Christmas as more | :08:51. | :08:52. | |
than 4,000 British Airways cabin crew at Heathrow are to go | :08:53. | :08:58. | |
on strike on Christmas Day and Boxing Day, in a row over pay. | :08:59. | :09:02. | |
Swissport, which employs airport staff, and Virgin Atlantic pilots | :09:03. | :09:04. | |
A memorial service has taken place for the American | :09:05. | :09:10. | |
Around 2,500 people gathered in Ohio, | :09:11. | :09:23. | |
to pay tribute to one of the great pioneers of the space race. | :09:24. | :09:26. | |
Saying goodbye to the man who came to define America's | :09:27. | :09:29. | |
supremacy in space - an explorer, leader | :09:30. | :09:31. | |
Accompanied by Marines - he was one himself, | :09:32. | :09:38. | |
and a distinguished World War II fighter pilot - John Glenn | :09:39. | :09:44. | |
made his journey through the sombre streets of Columbus, | :09:45. | :09:46. | |
The mourners were led by Annie, his wife of 73 years. | :09:47. | :09:50. | |
Vice-President Joe Biden was one of those who paid tribute. | :09:51. | :09:53. | |
I think John defined what it meant to be American. | :09:54. | :09:58. | |
What it meant to be an American, what we were about, | :09:59. | :10:00. | |
We were a country of possibilities, opportunity. | :10:01. | :10:10. | |
John Glenn was a pioneer of America's space programme, | :10:11. | :10:18. | |
whose place in the nation's pantheon of heroes was secured in 1962 | :10:19. | :10:21. | |
when he became the first American to orbit the Earth. | :10:22. | :10:25. | |
The mission restored US confidence and optimism at a time | :10:26. | :10:33. | |
when the Soviet Union appeared to be getting the upper hand. | :10:34. | :10:37. | |
In 1974, he was elected to the Senate and made | :10:38. | :10:40. | |
an unsuccessful bid for the White House, 10 years later. | :10:41. | :10:44. | |
But space still beckoned and, at 77, he returned | :10:45. | :10:47. | |
If I'm still a little round faced here today, | :10:48. | :10:55. | |
and that comes from the fluid body shift that occurs and that's | :10:56. | :10:58. | |
something, as I understand it, that goes away over a couple of days | :10:59. | :11:01. | |
here and you get back to normal again. | :11:02. | :11:03. | |
But perhaps John Glenn will be remembered most, | :11:04. | :11:05. | |
not for his achievements, but for being a man who believed | :11:06. | :11:10. | |
that a life should be spent pursuing something greater than one's self. | :11:11. | :11:13. | |
Dr Henry Heimlich - the man who invented the life | :11:14. | :11:25. | |
saving Heimlich manoeuvre - has died. | :11:26. | :11:28. | |
Doctor Henry J Heimlich, a leading specialist | :11:29. | :11:29. | |
He devised his famous technique - for preventing choking | :11:30. | :11:32. | |
victims from suffocating - while working in | :11:33. | :11:34. | |
He estimated it had prevented the deaths | :11:35. | :11:37. | |
He himself used the Heimlich manoeuvre just last year, aged 96, | :11:38. | :11:45. | |
saving the life of a fellow resident in his nursing home. | :11:46. | :11:49. | |
A photograph of the Queen and the Prince of Wales has been | :11:50. | :11:57. | |
released to mark the end of the year in which Her Majesty turned 90. | :11:58. | :12:00. | |
The picture, taken in May, shows mother and son in one | :12:01. | :12:03. | |
It was taken by fashion photographer Nick Knight. | :12:04. | :12:06. | |
With all the sport, here's Lizzie Greenwood-Hughes | :12:07. | :12:08. | |
It's been a dramatic day in Rugby Union's European Champions Cup. | :12:09. | :12:14. | |
Leicester's hopes of qualifying for the quarter-finals were kept | :12:15. | :12:18. | |
Exeter finally found their cup form but Northampton were heavily beaten | :12:19. | :12:25. | |
again and Wasps' perfect record was ruined with the last kick | :12:26. | :12:28. | |
Galway's Showgrounds, intimate but intense. Wasps knew that few go west | :12:29. | :12:44. | |
and returned with profit. Joe Simpson picked up a nugget, try. | :12:45. | :12:50. | |
Kayseri are an unlikely success story and they play expansive rugby. | :12:51. | :12:59. | |
Take Danie Poolman's try and lead. The locals could barely draw breath. | :13:00. | :13:05. | |
Bassett scored the try that seem to steal it for wasps. The game would | :13:06. | :13:11. | |
be over if the ball went out. Adeolokun got it down. One kick to | :13:12. | :13:19. | |
win it, Jack Carty's kick. On the ground that normally hosts | :13:20. | :13:23. | |
greyhounds on a Saturday, how is this for a photo finish? Munster | :13:24. | :13:31. | |
scored four tries against Leicester Tigers last time. It took one this | :13:32. | :13:37. | |
time. But a late twist and kicked. Owain Williams from way out. | :13:38. | :13:42. | |
Qualification may be a long shot for Leicester but they are quite good at | :13:43. | :13:45. | |
them. Exeter's hopes are more remote. They beat 14 man Bordeaux, | :13:46. | :13:56. | |
20-12. Turbulent times at Northampton of late. They have lost | :13:57. | :14:00. | |
the England captain Dylan Hartley to a six-week ban for violent conduct. | :14:01. | :14:09. | |
Here the right side of the Saints' defence. Revenge worth five points. | :14:10. | :14:15. | |
For Northampton, the kind of defeat that can have consequences. | :14:16. | :14:17. | |
Today's Premier League football was particularly influential | :14:18. | :14:18. | |
You can see the highlights on Match of the Day later, | :14:19. | :14:24. | |
so if you don't want to know what happened - | :14:25. | :14:27. | |
Chelsea stretched their lead at the top of the table to 9 points | :14:28. | :14:32. | |
after Diego Costa scored the only goal in their win at Crystal Palace. | :14:33. | :14:35. | |
It's a club record-equalling 11th victory in a row for Chelsea. | :14:36. | :14:39. | |
There were also wins for Middlesbrough, Sunderland - | :14:40. | :14:44. | |
who move-off the bottom of the table, West Ham | :14:45. | :14:46. | |
Celtic's lead in the Scottish Premiership is back up to 11 points. | :14:47. | :14:50. | |
Ross County won at home to Aberdeen and the other | :14:51. | :14:54. | |
England's cricketers are still in with a chance | :14:55. | :15:01. | |
of a consolation win in the final Test against India. | :15:02. | :15:04. | |
They recovered from a poor start to the second day in Chennai | :15:05. | :15:07. | |
to reach 477 all out in their first innings - | :15:08. | :15:09. | |
and Adil Rashid both making half centuries. | :15:10. | :15:12. | |
In reply, India were 60 without loss at the close of play. | :15:13. | :15:15. | |
John Higgins staged a remarkable comeback to reach the final | :15:16. | :15:18. | |
The Scot was 5-1 down to Judd Trump and on the verge of going out | :15:19. | :15:26. | |
of the tournament but he fought back in Glasgow. | :15:27. | :15:28. | |
Higgins took five frames in a row to seal his place in the final | :15:29. | :15:32. | |
The winner of this year's Strictly Come | :15:33. | :15:44. | |
BBC Sport presenter Ore Oduba. | :15:45. | :16:05. | |
He and his partner Joanne Clifton collected | :16:06. | :16:09. | |
He and his partner Joanne Clifton collected the trophy. | :16:10. | :16:13. | |

Hello, some of us have a blue sky start to the weekend with parts | :16:28. | :16:28. |
