:04:08. > :04:20.It is being seen as that by some here certainly. Prompting the
:04:21. > :04:24.question, how does the United States responded now? President Trump made
:04:25. > :04:28.various comments whilst he was on the campaign trail about North
:04:29. > :04:35.Korea, calling the leader Kim Jong in a bad dude. But also saying he
:04:36. > :04:39.would be willing to sit down and talk to him over a hamburger. This
:04:40. > :04:44.is an issue which has vexed American presidents all the way back to
:04:45. > :04:49.George Bush senior. But clearly neither sanctions or direct talks
:04:50. > :04:53.have yielded anything as far as the nuclear effort by North Korea is
:04:54. > :04:59.concerned. It is likely President Trump may fall back on China,
:05:00. > :05:04.seeking to get some sort of Weybridge, China being the main
:05:05. > :05:09.provider of food and energy to North Korea in an attempt to sort this
:05:10. > :05:13.problem out. But it's a thorny one and it has vexed as I say many
:05:14. > :05:19.presidents in the past. You David Willis in Washington.
:05:20. > :05:23.The Speaker of the House of Commons John Bercow
:05:24. > :05:25.insists he remains impartial in performing his duties, despite
:05:26. > :05:27.saying he voted Remain in the EU referendum.
:05:28. > :05:31.The revelation has led to repeated calls for him
:05:32. > :05:34.to stand down, as Chris Mason reports.
:05:35. > :05:43.The speaker, a role with a history dating back to at least the 14th
:05:44. > :05:48.century. Order, order. Sitting between the political parties during
:05:49. > :05:53.debates. But for the second time in a week it is John Bercow's opinions
:05:54. > :05:56.which have generated attention. Talking to students at the
:05:57. > :06:01.University of Reading he said EU migration had been a good thing and
:06:02. > :06:06.added... This may not be popular with some people in this audience,
:06:07. > :06:11.personally I voted to Remain. I thought it was better to stay in the
:06:12. > :06:15.European Union than not. He had already irritated some by accusing
:06:16. > :06:22.President Trump of racism and sexism. I would not wish to issue an
:06:23. > :06:29.invitation to President Trump... Some MP's club that but his critics
:06:30. > :06:34.are repeating he must be replaced. I am incredibly surprised the speaker
:06:35. > :06:39.has now expressed views on a number of issues, on Brexit, an
:06:40. > :06:43.immigration, on state visit, on diplomacy, he is incapable of
:06:44. > :06:47.impartially chairing debates in the House of Commons now and must go.
:06:48. > :06:52.And ally of the speaker told me he did not speak out during the
:06:53. > :06:57.referendum campaign and is scrupulously fair when checking
:06:58. > :07:01.debates. Plenty of MPs agree. I am confident John Bercow has got the
:07:02. > :07:06.numbers and support across the parties to see off this attempt by a
:07:07. > :07:11.handful of crusty Tories to unseat him. And those in government
:07:12. > :07:21.remained supportive too. I had more than six years as Europe Minister
:07:22. > :07:24.under David Cameron and in that time I never find the speaker was shy of
:07:25. > :07:26.calling lots of people who are critical of the EU to ask the
:07:27. > :07:29.difficult questions. The job description is clear, he is obliged
:07:30. > :07:31.to be politically impartial but for now at least he does not appear to
:07:32. > :07:35.be at much risk of being toppled. Protests in a suburb of Paris
:07:36. > :07:41.turned violent overnight, at a demonstration in support
:07:42. > :07:43.of a young black man allegedly raped by a police
:07:44. > :07:45.officer earlier this month. Tear gas was fired to disperse
:07:46. > :07:48.the crowds during clashes, The alleged victim of the rape,
:07:49. > :07:52.a 22 year old social worker, has appealed for calm after several
:07:53. > :07:54.days of protests. One policeman has been charged
:07:55. > :07:57.with rape, and three others with assault,
:07:58. > :08:01.in connection with the attack. Fire crews in Germany had
:08:02. > :08:05.to temporarily evacuate Hamburg Airport, after the spread
:08:06. > :08:08.of an unknown hazardous material left dozens of people
:08:09. > :08:10.needing hospital treatment. Both terminals were cleared
:08:11. > :08:12.and flights stopped, after numerous complaints of coughs
:08:13. > :08:16.and eye irritation. Firefighters later said they found
:08:17. > :08:19.an empty cartridge probably containing pepper spray
:08:20. > :08:30.for self defence use. 14 retired Anglican bishops,
:08:31. > :08:32.have accused the church of ignoring In an open letter they said
:08:33. > :08:37.an official report into the Church of England's position
:08:38. > :08:39.on homosexuality didn't contain "authentic voices" from the gay
:08:40. > :08:41.and lesbian community. The letter comes ahead of meeting
:08:42. > :08:43.of the General Synod, later this week, the body
:08:44. > :08:45.which approves church law. Here's our Religious Affairs
:08:46. > :09:02.Correspondent Martin Bashir. If the Church of England was tempted
:09:03. > :09:07.to believe that its recent report on same-sex marriage had settled the
:09:08. > :09:09.matter, then this letter is an indication that the issue is still
:09:10. > :09:16.tearing at the heart of church unity. The peace of the Lord be
:09:17. > :09:19.always with you. The letter says that the house of Bishops report
:09:20. > :09:25.which maintains that marriage is between a man and women, is not
:09:26. > :09:29.sufficiently inclusive. Our perception is that while the pain of
:09:30. > :09:31.LGBT people is spoken about in your report, we do not hear authentic
:09:32. > :09:35.voice. One of the signatories says members
:09:36. > :09:38.of the LGBTQ community have been The people who entered those
:09:39. > :09:46.conversations knowing that they would have to reveal
:09:47. > :09:48.themselves in a circumstance in which that might carry a price,
:09:49. > :09:52.in terms of their life, and their career, and they feel that
:09:53. > :09:56.what has come out here is a betrayal in the specific sense
:09:57. > :10:03.that their voice is not heard. For some attending morning worship
:10:04. > :10:06.in Leeds, it is time for same-sex The community of LGBTI people has
:10:07. > :10:14.not been fully heard. And I just think that is a terrible
:10:15. > :10:18.sadness in terms of the broad So long ago people could change
:10:19. > :10:23.their mind about slavery, Why can't they realise
:10:24. > :10:30.that we are real people But for evangelical Christians, even
:10:31. > :10:36.those who may be same-sex attracted, the critical issue is not
:10:37. > :10:38.inclusiveness, but obedience The teaching of the Bible says all
:10:39. > :10:47.of us are broken in different ways. All of us are broken
:10:48. > :10:49.in our sexuality, in fact. Whether that is heterosexual
:10:50. > :10:53.or homosexual, all of us have sexual desires that we all need to say no
:10:54. > :10:56.to, for the sake of our integrity The House of Bishops
:10:57. > :11:03.has called for a change That will be put to the test
:11:04. > :11:09.on Wednesday when members of General Synod will
:11:10. > :11:16.debate the issue. In football, Champions Leicester

:11:29. > :11:29.drew 1-1 at Burnley. But Burnley equalised thanks
:11:30. > :11:34.to a superb free-kick The result means Chelsea

:12:08. > :12:10.an obstacle Scotland decided the best option was to distract

:13:42. > :13:53.is at the Royal Albert Hall. I have two seed, things are warming
:13:54. > :13:57.up here, it's almost turning into La La Land as actors and actresses from
:13:58. > :14:03.across the pond make their way up to the Albert hall just like... Just
:14:04. > :14:08.like Hollywood really except for the weather. Meryl Streep has walked up
:14:09. > :14:12.here, by all Davis walked here. La La Land is the movie everyone is
:14:13. > :14:16.tipping to clear up tonight but there has been a reverse were some
:14:17. > :14:20.critics and commentators have questioned the hype, is it as good
:14:21. > :14:26.as they say it is? Maybe there will be a surprise or two tonight, maybe
:14:27. > :14:30.Manchester by the sea, not Manchester in the UK, Manchester in
:14:31. > :14:33.America, the story of a family broken apart by tragedy with Casey
:14:34. > :14:38.Affleck taking the lead role and will probably pick up the bat
:14:39. > :14:46.tonight. That might get best film or possibly eye, Daniel Blake. A film
:14:47. > :14:52.which could, it's a film about the system crashing an individual up in
:14:53. > :14:57.Newcastle, gritty social realism typical of Ken Loach. Or maybe
:14:58. > :15:00.Moonlight, who knows. What we do know is that it will not just be an
:15:01. > :15:04.interesting night for the awards but potentially the speeches as well, we
:15:05. > :15:08.will be looking out for a political, a political podium that maybe we
:15:09. > :15:13.have not seen before at the sort of awards. All will be revealed in the
