Turkish troops advance
into northern Syria, | 0:00:05 | 0:00:08 | |
opening up a complex new front
in the conflict. | 0:00:08 | 0:00:12 | |
Turkey is acting against a Kurdish
militia that has been | 0:00:12 | 0:00:15 | |
fighting Islamic State,
but it regards as | 0:00:15 | 0:00:16 | |
a terrorist group. | 0:00:16 | 0:00:21 | |
Turkey is clearly committed
militarily to this operation, | 0:00:21 | 0:00:23 | |
and has widespread popular support
here. | 0:00:23 | 0:00:24 | |
But if the Turks suffer losses
or a civilian casualties | 0:00:24 | 0:00:27 | |
grow, that could change. | 0:00:27 | 0:00:31 | |
With an emergency debate due
at the United Nations tomorrow, | 0:00:31 | 0:00:33 | |
Turkey's being urged
to show restraint. | 0:00:33 | 0:00:36 | |
Also tonight: | 0:00:36 | 0:00:41 | |
Is your relationship with her over?
No comment. | 0:00:41 | 0:00:45 | |
Ukip leader Henry Bolton's personal
life costs him the support | 0:00:45 | 0:00:47 | |
of the party's ruling body -
now the membership | 0:00:47 | 0:00:49 | |
will decide his fate. | 0:00:49 | 0:00:51 | |
EXPLOSION. | 0:00:51 | 0:00:52 | |
The 12 hour battle to end
an attack on a Kabul hotel, | 0:00:52 | 0:00:55 | |
where foreign nationals
were targeted and killed. | 0:00:55 | 0:00:58 | |
Heavy rain brings flooding and
mudslides to South West England - | 0:00:58 | 0:01:00 | |
elsewhere snow and ice cause
problems on the roads. | 0:01:00 | 0:01:08 | |
And at last something
to cheer about down under, | 0:01:08 | 0:01:10 | |
as England win the one day series
against Australia. | 0:01:10 | 0:01:17 | |
Good evening. | 0:01:32 | 0:01:34 | |
Turkey is being urged to show
restraint tonight, as it continues | 0:01:34 | 0:01:37 | |
an offensive into northern Syria
that its feared will further | 0:01:37 | 0:01:40 | |
destabilise a war-torn region. | 0:01:40 | 0:01:42 | |
Turkish troops crossed the border
with Syria as part of a military | 0:01:42 | 0:01:45 | |
effort to target a Kurdish militia
in the province of Afrin. | 0:01:45 | 0:01:50 | |
The Kurdish group has been backed
by the United States in the fight | 0:01:50 | 0:01:53 | |
against so-called Islamic State. | 0:01:53 | 0:01:55 | |
But Turkey regards it
as a terrorist organisation. | 0:01:55 | 0:01:59 | |
From the border, Mark Lowen
reports on a potential | 0:01:59 | 0:02:01 | |
new front in the Syrian war. | 0:02:01 | 0:02:06 | |
As if Syria needed more of this. | 0:02:06 | 0:02:09 | |
Artillery fire from Turkey,
launching a new ground | 0:02:09 | 0:02:12 | |
and air offensive. | 0:02:12 | 0:02:15 | |
It's called Operation Olive Branch,
though it's anything | 0:02:15 | 0:02:17 | |
but a gesture of peace. | 0:02:17 | 0:02:19 | |
From the air, Turkish
F-16s struck yesterday. | 0:02:19 | 0:02:22 | |
Their target - the Syrian
Kurdish militia, or YPG. | 0:02:22 | 0:02:26 | |
Turkey sees them as terrorists,
linked to the outlawed PKK, | 0:02:26 | 0:02:30 | |
who have long fought an insurgency
in Turkey on behalf | 0:02:30 | 0:02:33 | |
of the Kurdish minority. | 0:02:33 | 0:02:35 | |
And it wants them pushed back
from the border town of Afrin. | 0:02:35 | 0:02:41 | |
Turkey's president has his own
troops fighting for their hero. | 0:02:41 | 0:02:46 | |
And with elections next year,
war rallies his support base. | 0:02:46 | 0:02:52 | |
TRANSLATION: This is
a national struggle, | 0:02:52 | 0:02:54 | |
and in this national struggle,
we will crush anyone | 0:02:54 | 0:02:56 | |
who stands against us. | 0:02:56 | 0:03:00 | |
That's a message that
resonates in border villages, | 0:03:00 | 0:03:04 | |
where grape grower Omer Gazel
and his friends watched the jets. | 0:03:04 | 0:03:10 | |
TRANSLATION: We felt proud
and happy as they took off. | 0:03:10 | 0:03:13 | |
Everyone came out
to bid them farewell. | 0:03:13 | 0:03:19 | |
But the YPG has backing, too. | 0:03:19 | 0:03:21 | |
Both in Syria, where Kurds
rallied today, and beyond. | 0:03:21 | 0:03:27 | |
TRANSLATION: We condemn
the attack on Afrin, | 0:03:27 | 0:03:30 | |
and we tell our brothers
there that they are in our hearts, | 0:03:30 | 0:03:33 | |
and that we are with them. | 0:03:33 | 0:03:36 | |
Because of the bravery
of the YPG heroes, we will win | 0:03:36 | 0:03:38 | |
the battle in Afrin. | 0:03:38 | 0:03:40 | |
The US armed them in the fight
against the Islamic State group, | 0:03:40 | 0:03:43 | |
infuriating Turkey. | 0:03:43 | 0:03:46 | |
France too voiced support
for them today, calling | 0:03:46 | 0:03:48 | |
on Turkey to pull back. | 0:03:48 | 0:03:53 | |
But the Turks are ploughing on. | 0:03:53 | 0:03:56 | |
This unverified footage posted
on pro-government media aiming | 0:03:56 | 0:03:58 | |
to prove Turkey's military might. | 0:03:58 | 0:04:03 | |
In the hills beside the border
we found a further build-up, | 0:04:03 | 0:04:06 | |
as the offensive shows no
sign of ending. | 0:04:06 | 0:04:09 | |
Reinforcements are perched here,
a show of strength, ready to back up | 0:04:09 | 0:04:12 | |
the ground troops and fighter jets
who are ready inside Syria. | 0:04:12 | 0:04:18 | |
Every few minutes, you hear the thud
of an artillery strike. | 0:04:18 | 0:04:20 | |
Turkey has clearly committed
militarily to this operation, | 0:04:20 | 0:04:23 | |
and has widespread popular support
here. | 0:04:23 | 0:04:25 | |
But if the Turks suffer losses
or civilian casualties | 0:04:25 | 0:04:29 | |
grow, that could change. | 0:04:29 | 0:04:33 | |
And the risk is clear. | 0:04:33 | 0:04:36 | |
This border town was hit
by a rocket, said to be | 0:04:36 | 0:04:38 | |
from the YPG, killing one
and injuring more. | 0:04:38 | 0:04:41 | |
Turkey is on dangerous ground,
and a likely long, costly offensive | 0:04:41 | 0:04:44 | |
is only just beginning. | 0:04:44 | 0:04:52 | |
Tonight Turkey is looking
diplomatically isolated. The US, | 0:04:54 | 0:04:58 | |
France, Russia and Iran have spoken
out against the offensive, a | 0:04:58 | 0:05:02 | |
reminder of how Syria has dragged in
summary different powers fighting | 0:05:02 | 0:05:06 | |
their own proxy wars. France has
called on the UN Security Council to | 0:05:06 | 0:05:11 | |
discuss the operation tomorrow. But
it is the US most at odds with | 0:05:11 | 0:05:15 | |
Turkey. One has armed the YPG, the
other fighting to destroy it. Turkey | 0:05:15 | 0:05:20 | |
and the US are vital Nato members,
but this new front in the Syrian war | 0:05:20 | 0:05:26 | |
has thrown this vital relationship
towards breaking point. | 0:05:26 | 0:05:28 | |
Mark Lowen, thank you. | 0:05:28 | 0:05:29 | |
Ukip's National Executive Committee
has backed a vote of no confidence | 0:05:29 | 0:05:32 | |
in the party leader, Henry Bolton,
as he faces further questions | 0:05:32 | 0:05:35 | |
over his personal life. | 0:05:35 | 0:05:36 | |
After a brief relationship
with Jo Marney - whose texts | 0:05:36 | 0:05:40 | |
about Meghan Markle became public -
he says his personal life shouldn't | 0:05:40 | 0:05:43 | |
affect his political career. | 0:05:43 | 0:05:45 | |
Party members will now be asked
to vote on his future. | 0:05:45 | 0:05:48 | |
Here's our political
correspondent Ben Wright.. | 0:05:48 | 0:05:50 | |
I'm not making any comment. | 0:05:50 | 0:05:52 | |
Shortly before Ukip's top brass met
to discuss their beleaguered | 0:05:52 | 0:05:56 | |
leader's fate, Henry Bolton
came out fighting. | 0:05:56 | 0:06:00 | |
You could at that point say
the National Executive Committee | 0:06:00 | 0:06:02 | |
of my own party don't have
confidence in me as leader, | 0:06:02 | 0:06:05 | |
I'd better stand down. | 0:06:05 | 0:06:06 | |
I could do but I shan't. | 0:06:06 | 0:06:07 | |
You won't? | 0:06:07 | 0:06:08 | |
No, I won't. | 0:06:08 | 0:06:09 | |
The former soldier has only been
in the job for months, | 0:06:09 | 0:06:13 | |
and it is his fleeting relationship
with 25-year-old Jo Marney that | 0:06:13 | 0:06:15 | |
has got him noticed. | 0:06:15 | 0:06:16 | |
Last week he dropped his
new girlfriend after it emerged | 0:06:16 | 0:06:19 | |
she had sent racist text messages
about Prince Harry's | 0:06:19 | 0:06:22 | |
fiancee, Meghan Markle. | 0:06:22 | 0:06:24 | |
But the two of them were then
spotted out at a London bar. | 0:06:24 | 0:06:29 | |
We're now talking about this
leadership thing being a moral | 0:06:29 | 0:06:31 | |
court, as to the state
of my marriage and my | 0:06:31 | 0:06:34 | |
personal relationships. | 0:06:34 | 0:06:35 | |
What is important to
the nation and to the voters, | 0:06:35 | 0:06:38 | |
and the 17.4 million people
who voted to leave | 0:06:38 | 0:06:40 | |
the European Union, is that this
country gets its independence back | 0:06:40 | 0:06:43 | |
from Brussels and that we can move
forward on that basis | 0:06:43 | 0:06:46 | |
towards being a confident nation. | 0:06:46 | 0:06:47 | |
Henry Bolton became the fourth
Ukip leader in a year, | 0:06:47 | 0:06:50 | |
and promised to bring fresh focus
to the fractious and | 0:06:50 | 0:06:53 | |
floundering party. | 0:06:53 | 0:06:54 | |
But even some of its leading
figures think it could now | 0:06:54 | 0:06:57 | |
be curtains for Ukip. | 0:06:57 | 0:07:00 | |
If we have got a situation
where we are wiped out | 0:07:00 | 0:07:02 | |
in the county council elections,
and then in the general election, | 0:07:02 | 0:07:05 | |
if we are wiped out again
in the district elections too, | 0:07:05 | 0:07:08 | |
then maybe people are going to have
to get round the table and say, | 0:07:08 | 0:07:12 | |
"Is the electorate is trying
to tell us something? | 0:07:12 | 0:07:14 | |
Is that, thank you very
much and good night?" | 0:07:14 | 0:07:16 | |
Earlier this month, the UK
National Executive agreed | 0:07:16 | 0:07:20 | |
to have an emergency meeting today
about their leader's recent antics. | 0:07:20 | 0:07:24 | |
Today's emergency Ukip meeting has
been held in huge secrecy, | 0:07:24 | 0:07:27 | |
and after a lot of digging,
we found out it is being held here, | 0:07:27 | 0:07:30 | |
in the office of the Ukip general
secretary, Paul Oakley, | 0:07:30 | 0:07:33 | |
who's a barrister. | 0:07:33 | 0:07:34 | |
Now this meeting will determine,
possibly, Henry Bolton's fate. | 0:07:34 | 0:07:38 | |
He went in insisting
he was not going to quit. | 0:07:38 | 0:07:43 | |
But it's clear that many
on the Ukip NEC want him to go. | 0:07:43 | 0:07:46 | |
The meeting lasted three hours,
and passed a unanimous vote | 0:07:46 | 0:07:49 | |
of no-confidence in the Ukip leader. | 0:07:49 | 0:07:51 | |
Henry was offered the opportunity
to resign but he has made clear | 0:07:51 | 0:07:54 | |
that he feels he is the right man
to lead the party forward. | 0:07:54 | 0:07:57 | |
And he will now go through
the process of defending himself | 0:07:57 | 0:08:00 | |
to the party via the EGM. | 0:08:00 | 0:08:03 | |
That means the wider Ukip membership
will have to endorse or reject | 0:08:03 | 0:08:05 | |
today's decision at a general
meeting within the next 28 days. | 0:08:05 | 0:08:10 | |
But for now, Henry Bolton soldiers
on without any support | 0:08:10 | 0:08:13 | |
at the top of his party. | 0:08:13 | 0:08:16 | |
Ben Wright, BBC News. | 0:08:16 | 0:08:19 | |
14 foreign nationals working
in the Afghan capital Kabul have | 0:08:19 | 0:08:22 | |
been targeted and killed
in a terrorist attack | 0:08:22 | 0:08:26 | |
on a major hotel. | 0:08:26 | 0:08:27 | |
It took Afghan security forces 12
hours to take control | 0:08:27 | 0:08:29 | |
of the Intercontinental Hotel,
killing the gunmen who stormed it. | 0:08:29 | 0:08:33 | |
Four Afghan citizens
were also killed. | 0:08:33 | 0:08:36 | |
The Taliban says it
carried out the attack. | 0:08:36 | 0:08:40 | |
Zia Shahreyar
reports from Kabul. | 0:08:40 | 0:08:46 | |
The final moments of a fight that
had lasted all night. | 0:08:46 | 0:08:49 | |
Gunfire and explosions,
as Afghan special forces | 0:08:49 | 0:08:52 | |
battle to regain control
of the Intercontinental Hotel. | 0:08:52 | 0:08:59 | |
One soldier throws a grenade. | 0:08:59 | 0:09:01 | |
He moves away, then the explosion. | 0:09:01 | 0:09:09 | |
The room is soon on fire. | 0:09:09 | 0:09:11 | |
Evidence of the struggle
that had taken place. | 0:09:11 | 0:09:15 | |
The Afghan national flag
waving from the roof, | 0:09:15 | 0:09:18 | |
proof that the building
has been retaken. | 0:09:18 | 0:09:22 | |
We are in the area. | 0:09:22 | 0:09:23 | |
You can see the Hotel
Intercontinental on the hill | 0:09:23 | 0:09:27 | |
in Kabul, and as you can see,
it has been burned, part | 0:09:27 | 0:09:30 | |
of the hotel has been burned. | 0:09:30 | 0:09:34 | |
And black smoke blackens
the southern part of the hotel. | 0:09:34 | 0:09:37 | |
More than 150 people,
including some foreigners, | 0:09:37 | 0:09:39 | |
were inside yesterday evening
when gunmen burst | 0:09:39 | 0:09:41 | |
in and opened fire. | 0:09:41 | 0:09:44 | |
Eyewitnesses said they
were after foreigners. | 0:09:44 | 0:09:47 | |
TRANSLATION: The attackers
were knocking on the door of each | 0:09:47 | 0:09:51 | |
room, trying to reach their targets. | 0:09:51 | 0:09:54 | |
They killed ordinary
people and officials. | 0:09:54 | 0:09:55 | |
They were also targeting foreigners. | 0:09:55 | 0:10:01 | |
These images filmed by local TV
showed people escaping by climbing | 0:10:01 | 0:10:04 | |
down the sheets that they had
tied to balconies. | 0:10:04 | 0:10:10 | |
This telecoms engineer fell
from the sixth floor | 0:10:10 | 0:10:12 | |
as he tried to get away. | 0:10:12 | 0:10:17 | |
TRANSLATION: When the sixth floor
caught fire this morning, | 0:10:17 | 0:10:19 | |
my roommates told me to either
burn or escape. | 0:10:19 | 0:10:23 | |
I got a bed sheet and
tied to the balcony. | 0:10:23 | 0:10:28 | |
I tried to come down but I was heavy
and my arms were not strong enough. | 0:10:28 | 0:10:32 | |
I fell down and injured
my shoulder and leg. | 0:10:32 | 0:10:37 | |
This sustained and complex assault
will prompt urgent questions | 0:10:37 | 0:10:39 | |
as to how the gunmen got through. | 0:10:39 | 0:10:47 | |
A 54-year-old man has been arrested,
after the death of an eight-year-old | 0:10:48 | 0:10:51 | |
girl from stab wounds. | 0:10:51 | 0:10:53 | |
Mylee Billingham was rushed
to hospital from a house | 0:10:53 | 0:10:56 | |
at Brownhills in the West Midlands,
but couldn't be saved. | 0:10:56 | 0:10:59 | |
Police are waiting to speak
to the man, who's also in hospital | 0:10:59 | 0:11:02 | |
with a stab wound to the stomach. | 0:11:02 | 0:11:04 | |
Officers say they're not
looking for anyone else. | 0:11:04 | 0:11:09 | |
Thousands of women are demonstrating
in Las Vegas tonight, | 0:11:09 | 0:11:11 | |
in the latest protest to mark
the anniversary of President | 0:11:11 | 0:11:13 | |
Trump's inauguration. | 0:11:13 | 0:11:18 | |
Rallies have already taken place
this weekend in other US | 0:11:18 | 0:11:21 | |
cities and in Europe. | 0:11:21 | 0:11:22 | |
In Las Vegas, women are being urged
to register to vote ahead of this | 0:11:22 | 0:11:26 | |
year's mid term US elections.
Rajini Vaidyanathan reports. | 0:11:26 | 0:11:34 | |
All the way from Paris to London, to
Las Vegas, women have been making | 0:11:34 | 0:11:38 | |
their voices heard. Last year we
were angry. And that's why we turned | 0:11:38 | 0:11:46 | |
out. This year we are organised and
that's why we are turning out. | 0:11:46 | 0:11:52 | |
Empowered, and I'm ready to get
people talking about these issues | 0:11:52 | 0:11:56 | |
and get people excited. A year into
Donald Trump's presidency and the | 0:11:56 | 0:12:01 | |
focus is not just on the man himself
but his policies. Many believe his | 0:12:01 | 0:12:05 | |
immigration plans adversely affect
women. He is pushing to make birth | 0:12:05 | 0:12:16 | |
control less accessible to women.
This is just ridiculous how he is | 0:12:16 | 0:12:22 | |
supposed to be for the people, but
he is against the people. In the | 0:12:22 | 0:12:25 | |
wake of the B2 movement and a
growing conversation around equal | 0:12:25 | 0:12:30 | |
pay, many are here to fight on other
issues. Franey, who came here with | 0:12:30 | 0:12:36 | |
her five-year-old daughter, this is
personal. For 12 years I was the | 0:12:36 | 0:12:41 | |
victim of domestic violence that my
children observed, now I am free, | 0:12:41 | 0:12:43 | |
finally, thank goodness, through no
help of the systems that are | 0:12:43 | 0:12:49 | |
supposed to help us. I hope the
world will listen and we can create | 0:12:49 | 0:12:54 | |
systematic change to help little
girls like Charlie and myself. One | 0:12:54 | 0:12:58 | |
way organisers think that change can
help is by getting more women to | 0:12:58 | 0:13:01 | |
register to vote and even run for
office. They are channelling their | 0:13:01 | 0:13:05 | |
energy on this year's mid-term
congressional elections. The state | 0:13:05 | 0:13:09 | |
of Nevada was picked for this rally
because it is a swing state, a | 0:13:09 | 0:13:14 | |
Senate is -- a Senate seat Democrats
believe they can win back. There may | 0:13:14 | 0:13:21 | |
be thousands of women here, but
don't forget, anyone the election | 0:13:21 | 0:13:23 | |
with a majority of white women
voters. Many of those think he is | 0:13:23 | 0:13:27 | |
doing a great job for women. And so,
like so many issues here in the | 0:13:27 | 0:13:32 | |
United States, even women's rights,
is one where this country is deeply | 0:13:32 | 0:13:39 | |
divided. | 0:13:39 | 0:13:39 | |
divided. | 0:13:39 | 0:13:41 | |
A former Premier League
footballer is about to become | 0:13:41 | 0:13:43 | |
president of the West African
nation of Liberia. | 0:13:43 | 0:13:45 | |
George Weah - who played for Chelsea
and Manchester City - | 0:13:45 | 0:13:48 | |
told the BBC he was ready to meet
the expectations of his people. | 0:13:48 | 0:13:51 | |
He will be sworn in tomorrow. | 0:13:51 | 0:13:53 | |
His victory is the latest
extraordinary chapter in Liberia's | 0:13:53 | 0:13:55 | |
emergence from the horrors
of civil war. | 0:13:55 | 0:13:58 | |
From the capital Monrovia, here's
our Africa Editor, Fergal Keane. | 0:13:58 | 0:14:06 | |
A fanfare for the people's man
who rose from the slums to become | 0:14:07 | 0:14:10 | |
an international football star,
and now president of his country. | 0:14:10 | 0:14:16 | |
How are you doing? | 0:14:16 | 0:14:17 | |
George Weah is the face
of a changing nation. | 0:14:17 | 0:14:20 | |
For the first time in over 70 years,
power is being transferred between | 0:14:20 | 0:14:23 | |
democratically elected leaders. | 0:14:23 | 0:14:26 | |
Can you possibly be as successful
a president as a footballer? | 0:14:26 | 0:14:32 | |
Well, you only look at me
as a former footballer, | 0:14:32 | 0:14:34 | |
but I am a human being. | 0:14:34 | 0:14:37 | |
I strive to be excellent,
and I can be successful. | 0:14:37 | 0:14:42 | |
COMMENTATOR: George Weah,
he has one to contend with, | 0:14:42 | 0:14:44 | |
he plays a 1-2, George Weah! | 0:14:44 | 0:14:46 | |
Today he was leading a team of
friends against an army selection. | 0:14:46 | 0:14:50 | |
And still scoring. | 0:14:50 | 0:14:54 | |
It was in Europe, playing for teams
like Chelsea and AC Milan, | 0:14:54 | 0:14:57 | |
that he became a legend. | 0:14:57 | 0:15:00 | |
Fifa Footballer of the Year. | 0:15:00 | 0:15:05 | |
George Weah inherits
a nation still struggling | 0:15:05 | 0:15:06 | |
with the legacy of war. | 0:15:06 | 0:15:09 | |
Nearly two thirds of the population
live below the poverty line. | 0:15:09 | 0:15:13 | |
In Claratown, the slum
where he grew up, they are hoping | 0:15:13 | 0:15:16 | |
he will bring jobs,
health care, housing. | 0:15:16 | 0:15:22 | |
When you come here to the streets
where George Weah grew up, | 0:15:22 | 0:15:25 | |
the scale of problems facing Liberia
is very clear. | 0:15:25 | 0:15:29 | |
For any kind of meaningful change
to take place, peace is essential, | 0:15:29 | 0:15:32 | |
and this is a generation that has
grown up without knowing war, | 0:15:32 | 0:15:35 | |
in a country that was once
a byword for anarchy. | 0:15:35 | 0:15:42 | |
In 14 years of war, a quarter
of a million people were killed. | 0:15:42 | 0:15:46 | |
Child soldiers like Joseph Duo
became symbols of pitiless violence. | 0:15:46 | 0:15:53 | |
Today, he's one of those looking
to George Weah in hope. | 0:15:53 | 0:15:55 | |
Like his nation, Joseph
is scarred by the past | 0:15:55 | 0:15:58 | |
but determined not to repeat it. | 0:15:58 | 0:16:06 | |
Doing homework with his children,
Joseph's life challenges those | 0:16:08 | 0:16:12 | |
who would write off a nation,
even a continent, as failed. | 0:16:12 | 0:16:17 | |
What do you hope George
Weah can do for you? | 0:16:17 | 0:16:23 | |
We hope he will design programmes
and bring investors, | 0:16:23 | 0:16:25 | |
Joseph tells me, so there will be
jobs, and we can have a better | 0:16:25 | 0:16:28 | |
Liberia than before. | 0:16:28 | 0:16:31 | |
Expectations are high. | 0:16:31 | 0:16:32 | |
Can George Weah possibly
meet them, I asked? | 0:16:32 | 0:16:38 | |
Whether or not I am going
to meet the expectations, | 0:16:38 | 0:16:40 | |
because the one thing,
when people love you, | 0:16:40 | 0:16:42 | |
you have to strive for them. | 0:16:42 | 0:16:45 | |
The Liberians love me,
for what I have done before | 0:16:45 | 0:16:53 | |
in my life, and to make
sure that they are OK, | 0:16:53 | 0:16:56 | |
I am going to do it again. | 0:16:56 | 0:16:58 | |
Football teaches that
you can't succeed alone, | 0:16:58 | 0:16:59 | |
and the new president has
the people on-side. | 0:16:59 | 0:17:01 | |
But, more than anything now,
George Weah is going | 0:17:01 | 0:17:03 | |
to need their patience. | 0:17:03 | 0:17:04 | |
Fergal Keane, BBC News, Monrovia. | 0:17:04 | 0:17:07 | |
Extreme weather is affecting
several parts of the UK, | 0:17:07 | 0:17:10 | |
with flooding and mudslides in South
west England and snow and ice | 0:17:10 | 0:17:13 | |
causing problems elsewhere. | 0:17:13 | 0:17:15 | |
The Met Office issued
yellow "be aware" warnings | 0:17:15 | 0:17:17 | |
for many parts today. | 0:17:17 | 0:17:19 | |
Tonight there's concern about ice
as temperatures fall | 0:17:19 | 0:17:21 | |
in North East England.
Phil Bodmer reports. | 0:17:21 | 0:17:28 | |
After the snow came the rain,
and with it, flooding. | 0:17:28 | 0:17:32 | |
The south-west bearing the brunt. | 0:17:32 | 0:17:35 | |
Police say a number
of roads are affected by | 0:17:35 | 0:17:37 | |
flood water and mud slides,
like here in Mudeford, North Devon. | 0:17:37 | 0:17:44 | |
At the Jack Russell
in at swing bridge | 0:17:44 | 0:17:46 | |
near Barnstaple, they were surveying
the damage caused by the flooding. | 0:17:46 | 0:17:50 | |
The kitchen's just as bad. | 0:17:50 | 0:17:51 | |
We've turned everything. | 0:17:51 | 0:17:54 | |
Emergency services helped others. | 0:17:54 | 0:18:00 | |
This flood water rose
in Barnstaple and Kuhn Martin. | 0:18:00 | 0:18:04 | |
In Scotland, two climbers
were airlifted to safety in | 0:18:04 | 0:18:06 | |
the Highlands. | 0:18:06 | 0:18:07 | |
The pair were winched to safety
from 3000 feet after a night | 0:18:07 | 0:18:10 | |
on the mountain in Glencoe. | 0:18:10 | 0:18:14 | |
Glasgow airport closed
for a brief period | 0:18:14 | 0:18:17 | |
this afternoon, so that the runway
could be cleared, after some very | 0:18:17 | 0:18:20 | |
heavy snow. | 0:18:20 | 0:18:22 | |
Well, tonight, much of Britain
remains in winter's icy grip. | 0:18:22 | 0:18:26 | |
Here in Leeds, gritting teams have
been working nonstop to keep | 0:18:26 | 0:18:33 | |
the road network sorted,
with temperatures hovering around | 0:18:33 | 0:18:35 | |
zero degrees. | 0:18:35 | 0:18:36 | |
Northern England also
experienced heavy snow. | 0:18:36 | 0:18:42 | |
This was South Yorkshire. | 0:18:42 | 0:18:44 | |
In Sheffield, drivers
left their cars | 0:18:44 | 0:18:45 | |
at home. | 0:18:45 | 0:18:46 | |
With forecasters predicting milder
conditions ahead, there may | 0:18:46 | 0:18:48 | |
be some better news
for commuters next week. | 0:18:48 | 0:18:52 | |
Phil Bodmer, BBC News. | 0:18:52 | 0:18:54 | |
With all the sport, here's
Lizzie Greenwood Hughes | 0:18:54 | 0:18:56 | |
at the BBC Sport Centre. | 0:18:56 | 0:18:58 | |
Thanks very much.
Good evening. | 0:18:58 | 0:18:59 | |
England's cricketers bounced-back
from their Ashes defeat by winning | 0:18:59 | 0:19:02 | |
the one-day series against Australia
with two games to spare. | 0:19:02 | 0:19:06 | |
Man of the match Jos Butler hit
a brilliant century in Sydney to set | 0:19:06 | 0:19:10 | |
the hosts a target of 303. | 0:19:10 | 0:19:13 | |
And despite losing fast bowler
Liam Plunkett to injury, | 0:19:13 | 0:19:15 | |
England went on to win by 16 runs. | 0:19:15 | 0:19:19 | |
Kyle Edmund says, "You have
to believe", after reaching his | 0:19:19 | 0:19:22 | |
first Grand Slam quarterfinal. | 0:19:22 | 0:19:24 | |
The British number two came
from a set down to make | 0:19:24 | 0:19:28 | |
it to the last eight
of the Australian Open Tennis, | 0:19:28 | 0:19:30 | |
as our correspondent
David Ornstein reports. | 0:19:30 | 0:19:38 | |
Carrying the hopes of a nation is no
easy task, but in the absence of | 0:19:38 | 0:19:43 | |
Andy Murray Britain has a new
flag-bearers. Kyle Edmund's rise has | 0:19:43 | 0:19:48 | |
been steady, his form spectacular.
It did seem that was about to change | 0:19:48 | 0:19:53 | |
when against Andreas Seppi he lost
the opening set and went down a | 0:19:53 | 0:19:58 | |
break of serve in the second. He was
quick to respond. A switch of shoes | 0:19:58 | 0:20:02 | |
coinciding with a change in fortune.
There was no looking back. A decade | 0:20:02 | 0:20:08 | |
Seppi's Junior, Edmund is the higher
ranked and soon the Gulf in quality | 0:20:08 | 0:20:14 | |
became apparent. Both men were
struggling -- hoping to reach a | 0:20:14 | 0:20:21 | |
grand slam semifinal --
quarterfinal. Edmund became the | 0:20:21 | 0:20:24 | |
first British man other than Murray
to make the last eight in Melbourne | 0:20:24 | 0:20:27 | |
since 1995. Hopefully we have more
British the future. For me, | 0:20:27 | 0:20:34 | |
personally, I'm very happy to get
through and I will keep doing my | 0:20:34 | 0:20:38 | |
best. I know people are waking up at
home at silly hours. I'm grateful | 0:20:38 | 0:20:44 | |
for that. He now faces Grigor
Dimitrov. Whatever the outcome, | 0:20:44 | 0:20:48 | |
Britain appears to have a new star
to celebrate. | 0:20:48 | 0:20:50 | |
David Ornstein, BBC News. | 0:20:50 | 0:20:51 | |
There was just one game
in the Premier League today. | 0:20:51 | 0:20:54 | |
Match of the Day 2 and Sportscene
are on BBC One later, | 0:20:54 | 0:20:57 | |
so if you don't want to know
the results, you know what to do. | 0:20:57 | 0:21:00 | |
Southampton are still in the bottom
three after drawing with Tottenham. | 0:21:00 | 0:21:03 | |
Harry Kane scored the Spurs goal,
and now only needs one more | 0:21:03 | 0:21:05 | |
to reach his 100th in the Premier
League. | 0:21:05 | 0:21:09 | |
And Hearts beat their Edinburgh
rivals Hibs to a place in the fifth | 0:21:09 | 0:21:12 | |
round of the Scottish Cup. | 0:21:12 | 0:21:16 | |
Former Malaga manager
Javi Gracia has been named | 0:21:16 | 0:21:17 | |
as Watford's new head coach,
hours after they sacked Marco Silva. | 0:21:17 | 0:21:20 | |
Watford are currently 10th
in the Premier League. | 0:21:20 | 0:21:25 | |
Saracens' hopes of a third
consecutive European | 0:21:25 | 0:21:28 | |
title were kept alive,
thanks to Premiership rivals Wasps, | 0:21:28 | 0:21:31 | |
who beat Ulster in the Champions Cup
today, gifting Saracens | 0:21:31 | 0:21:34 | |
the last quarterfinal place. | 0:21:34 | 0:21:37 | |
They join Scarlets as the only
British teams in the last eight. | 0:21:37 | 0:21:44 | |
And while we have been on the air,
Mark Allen as just won Sanogo's | 0:21:44 | 0:21:49 | |
masters for the first time. He held
off a comeback from Kyren Wilson to | 0:21:49 | 0:21:55 | |
win 10-7 in a tense final at
Alexandra Palace. That is it from | 0:21:55 | 0:22:01 | |
me. There is more on the BBC News
channel, including how Tommy | 0:22:01 | 0:22:06 | |
Fleetwood stormed to the Abu Dhabi
title. Back to you. Thank you. | 0:22:06 | 0:22:10 | |
