0:00:22 > 0:00:24Good afternoon.
0:00:24 > 0:00:27Theresa May has called for a new "deep and special
0:00:27 > 0:00:30partnership" after Brexit to ensure the UK and EU can continue to work
0:00:30 > 0:00:33together on security.
0:00:33 > 0:00:35In a speech in Germany, the Prime Minister said
0:00:35 > 0:00:37that the UK's commitment to protecting Europe from threats
0:00:37 > 0:00:40was "unconditional" but warned that failing to cooperate
0:00:40 > 0:00:43would put everyone at risk.
0:00:43 > 0:00:45In response the President of the European Commission said
0:00:45 > 0:00:48he would welcome a close security alliance but it must be negotiated
0:00:48 > 0:00:51separately from Brexit.
0:00:51 > 0:00:56Our political correspondent Vicki Young reports.
0:00:56 > 0:01:00In defence and security, the UK is a significant player
0:01:00 > 0:01:04and the Prime Minister hopes that will get her a special deal.
0:01:04 > 0:01:06She arrived in Munich, keen to lay out Britain's contribution.
0:01:06 > 0:01:08Generous spending on defence and expertise it wants
0:01:08 > 0:01:14to share, even after Brexit.
0:01:14 > 0:01:18Theresa May urged the EU to take a practical approach.
0:01:18 > 0:01:22This cannot be a time when any of us allow
0:01:22 > 0:01:25competition between partners, rigid, institutional restrictions,
0:01:25 > 0:01:28or deep-seated ideology to inhibit our cooperation
0:01:28 > 0:01:33and jeopardise the security of our citizens.
0:01:33 > 0:01:35She's calling for a new security treaty so the close
0:01:35 > 0:01:38partnership can continue.
0:01:38 > 0:01:43Failure to agree one would have damaging consequences, she said.
0:01:43 > 0:01:45We must do what ever is practical and pragmatic
0:01:45 > 0:01:48in ensuring our collective security.
0:01:48 > 0:01:53Those who threaten our security would like nothing more
0:01:53 > 0:01:55than to see us fractured, so let the message ring out
0:01:55 > 0:01:59loud and clear today, we will not let that happen.
0:01:59 > 0:02:07Some listening to this were left bewildered.
0:02:10 > 0:02:12Things would be so much easier if you stayed,
0:02:12 > 0:02:15so here comes the questions.
0:02:15 > 0:02:17Mrs May didn't agree.
0:02:17 > 0:02:20Brexit was a democratic decision that politicians had to respect
0:02:20 > 0:02:24and one senior Brussels figure seemed to agree.
0:02:24 > 0:02:28The commission president said the EU wasn't at war with the UK and didn't
0:02:28 > 0:02:31want to take revenge on the British people.
0:02:31 > 0:02:34He said the security bridge would be maintained,
0:02:34 > 0:02:37but you cannot mix it up with other issues.
0:02:37 > 0:02:40So it is a familiar message from Theresa May.
0:02:40 > 0:02:42The UK is leaving the European Union, but that doesn't
0:02:42 > 0:02:44mean close cooperation needs to end.
0:02:44 > 0:02:51And it is a blunt message too.
0:02:51 > 0:02:55Saying to Europe's leaders, don't let your ideology get in the way of
0:02:55 > 0:03:01the safety of our citizens. The government hopes this speech shows
0:03:01 > 0:03:06it is acting responsibly, not wanting to drag the important issue
0:03:06 > 0:03:07of security into fraught Brexit negotiations.
0:03:07 > 0:03:11Vicki is in Munich now.
0:03:11 > 0:03:17This is a staging post on the road to Brexit, was the much on the sort
0:03:17 > 0:03:23of security relationship in the UK wants with the rest of Europe?It is
0:03:23 > 0:03:26interesting that this is seen as a trump card for the British
0:03:26 > 0:03:30government. We have got a lot to offer when it comes to defence and
0:03:30 > 0:03:35security. But some say Theresa May shouldn't have thrown it away saying
0:03:35 > 0:03:40she will offer this unconditionally, but there are others who think this
0:03:40 > 0:03:45will show Britain behaving in a very responsible way. It doesn't mean all
0:03:45 > 0:03:52the detail is pinned down. Say if Britain decides it wants to stay in
0:03:52 > 0:03:55the European arrest warrant? The European Court of Justice might have
0:03:55 > 0:03:58justice over that and it wouldn't go down well with all the
0:03:58 > 0:04:03conservatives. But let's not pretend a special deal or treaty on Security
0:04:03 > 0:04:08translates into bespoke deal on trade. That necessarily isn't going
0:04:08 > 0:04:13to be the case.Vicky Young, very much.
0:04:13 > 0:04:15President Trump has met survivors of Wednesday's high school
0:04:15 > 0:04:17shooting in Florida, in which 17 people died.
0:04:17 > 0:04:19He thanked the emergency services and medical staff
0:04:19 > 0:04:20who treated the wounded.
0:04:20 > 0:04:23It comes as pressure mounts on the FBI over the agency's failure
0:04:23 > 0:04:25to act on a tip that suspect Nikolas Cruz might
0:04:25 > 0:04:26carry out an attack.
0:04:26 > 0:04:29Barbara Plett-Usher reports.
0:04:29 > 0:04:34The funerals have begun.
0:04:34 > 0:04:37These students were saying goodbye to a 14-year-old classmate.
0:04:37 > 0:04:40They and their parents have been calling for action
0:04:40 > 0:04:41from President Trump, so other teenagers
0:04:41 > 0:04:48won't die this way.
0:04:48 > 0:04:51He and the First Lady visited some of the injured still in hospital.
0:04:51 > 0:04:53Including a woman who had been shot four times.
0:04:53 > 0:04:54He congratulated the medical staff...
0:04:54 > 0:04:56Do our gun laws need to be changed, Mr President?
0:04:56 > 0:04:58..But ignored a question about tougher gun control.
0:04:58 > 0:05:01This is where the president is in his element, meeting first
0:05:01 > 0:05:05responders who rescued the wounded and captured the killer.
0:05:05 > 0:05:12He piled on the praise for their speed and bravery.
0:05:12 > 0:05:16His wife thanked them for protecting the children.
0:05:16 > 0:05:20They are the future and let's take care of them
0:05:20 > 0:05:24because they will go through a lot with what they experienced two
0:05:24 > 0:05:27days ago and we need to take care of them.
0:05:27 > 0:05:31The president is talking about making schools safer and has
0:05:31 > 0:05:34linked the violence to mental health issues, rather than guns.
0:05:34 > 0:05:38The young man who carried out the attack, Nikolas Cruz,
0:05:38 > 0:05:42was a troubled youth who loved guns and found it easy to buy them.
0:05:42 > 0:05:45It's emerged that the FBI ignored a tip-off about him last month.
0:05:45 > 0:05:47The caller warned he had the potential to carry
0:05:47 > 0:05:50out a school shooting.
0:05:50 > 0:05:53So mistakes by law enforcement add a new twist to grimly
0:05:53 > 0:05:56familiar arguments.
0:05:56 > 0:05:58Mass shootings in America revive continuing debate about gun
0:05:58 > 0:06:01violence and gun control.
0:06:01 > 0:06:09But a school attack like this one boils the issue down
0:06:10 > 0:06:13to a stark question - how can we keep our children safe?
0:06:13 > 0:06:18The people he will judge their president on how
0:06:18 > 0:06:20The people here will judge their president on how
0:06:20 > 0:06:21he responds to that.
0:06:21 > 0:06:23Barbara Plett-Usher, BBC News, southern Florida.
0:06:23 > 0:06:26A court in Pakistan has sentenced a man to death for the murder
0:06:26 > 0:06:27and rape of a six-year-old girl.
0:06:27 > 0:06:30Zainub Ansari's body was found on a rubbish dump in the city
0:06:30 > 0:06:31of Kasur in January.
0:06:31 > 0:06:3424-year-old Imran Ali confessed to the killing and to attacks
0:06:34 > 0:06:35on other young girls.
0:06:35 > 0:06:37Her murder triggered riots across the country over
0:06:37 > 0:06:38alleged police incompetence in the investigation
0:06:38 > 0:06:39into Zainub's murder.
0:06:39 > 0:06:42Members of Ukip will vote this afternoon on whether Henry Bolton
0:06:42 > 0:06:43should remain the party's leader.
0:06:43 > 0:06:45Ukip's National Executive Committee backed a vote of no confidence
0:06:45 > 0:06:48in him last month, after it emerged his former girlfriend had
0:06:48 > 0:06:50sent a series of racist messages about Prince Harry's fiance,
0:06:50 > 0:06:58Meghan Markle.
0:06:59 > 0:07:02He has refused to stand out but says he will respect the outcome of
0:07:02 > 0:07:05today's vote.
0:07:05 > 0:07:07The President of Haiti has called for an investigation
0:07:07 > 0:07:10into the conduct of aid workers, saying that the sexual misconduct
0:07:10 > 0:07:12scandal involving some Oxfam workers after the 2010 earthquake was just
0:07:12 > 0:07:14the tip of the iceberg.
0:07:14 > 0:07:17It comes as the head of Oxfam UK has warned that attacks on the charity
0:07:17 > 0:07:18are out of proportion.
0:07:18 > 0:07:23Our correspondent Matt Cole is here.
0:07:23 > 0:07:28This has been a week in which Oxfam has been trying to get its message
0:07:28 > 0:07:33across, trying even harder this weekend?In addition to Mark
0:07:33 > 0:07:38Goldring, its chief executive giving an interview, Oxfam has taken out a
0:07:38 > 0:07:42full-page national newspaper advert in the Guardian saying, we are so
0:07:42 > 0:07:46sorry. It apologises for things that happened in its name and tried to
0:07:46 > 0:07:51explain in the advert what it has tried to do differently since. But
0:07:51 > 0:07:57some might wonder why Mark Goldring, in that interview, tried to question
0:07:57 > 0:08:01the motives of those attacking Oxfam and the strength of their attacks by
0:08:01 > 0:08:05saying, what did we do? We murdered babies in their cots? The point he
0:08:05 > 0:08:10was trying to raise is that some people might be using this to attack
0:08:10 > 0:08:14the principle of international development aid. I think the
0:08:14 > 0:08:18newspaper headlines and those phrases have suggested his message
0:08:18 > 0:08:23might have been overshadowed by his choice of language. Elsewhere, the
0:08:23 > 0:08:27president of Haiti calling for an enquiry, questioning the behaviour
0:08:27 > 0:08:33of medicines on frontier workers in Haiti at the time as well. But it is
0:08:33 > 0:08:37unjust Oxfam but will have to offer reassurance about safeguarding
0:08:37 > 0:08:42measures and clearly Oxfam will have some work to do to reassure people
0:08:42 > 0:08:47on that point still.Thank you very much.
0:08:47 > 0:08:49It was dubbed 'Super Saturday' at the Winter Olympics and it's
0:08:49 > 0:08:51certainly proving that way.
0:08:51 > 0:08:53In the last few minutes Lizzy Yarnold has won Team GB's
0:08:53 > 0:08:55first gold of The Games, defending her title
0:08:55 > 0:08:57in the skeleton and team mate Laura Deas took bronze.
0:08:57 > 0:09:02David Ornstein is in Pyeongchang.
0:09:02 > 0:09:08It was at the London summer 2012 Olympics but Britain first created a
0:09:08 > 0:09:13Super Saturday, but the Olympians in the winter sports have done it here.
0:09:13 > 0:09:17The celebrations behind us were wild short time ago, three medals in a
0:09:17 > 0:09:21Winter games has never been done before by Great Britain. It was
0:09:21 > 0:09:25started by Lizzie Atkin this morning but it continued here at the sliding
0:09:25 > 0:09:31venue with Lizzy Yarnold winning the gold and Laura Deas, taking the
0:09:31 > 0:09:33bronze. Lizzy Yarnold with a spectacular performance to defend
0:09:33 > 0:09:40her Olympic Kampl daily-macro title. She becomes the first woman to do
0:09:40 > 0:09:43that in winter sports and becomes the most decorated Winter Olympian
0:09:43 > 0:09:47of all time. It is an incredible achievement and justifies
0:09:47 > 0:09:53scalloped's record funding from UK sport. With all the action of today,
0:09:53 > 0:09:55here is Joel Lynch ski.
0:09:55 > 0:09:58Weeks and months on snow and ice can come down to just an instant.
0:09:58 > 0:10:01At these games, a few seconds can turn joy to despair.
0:10:01 > 0:10:03This was Elise Christie's second medal shot.
0:10:03 > 0:10:06With a lap to go, she had a route to the final.
0:10:06 > 0:10:09She had to finish in the top two, but this happened.
0:10:09 > 0:10:12And it's between Zhou Yang and Christie now...
0:10:12 > 0:10:16And Christie has crashed again now!
0:10:16 > 0:10:20This most brutal sport can have the most painful ending.
0:10:20 > 0:10:24And for Christie, heartbreak also comes with jeopardy,
0:10:24 > 0:10:26her favourite event starts in three days' time.
0:10:26 > 0:10:29She now has a race to recover.
0:10:29 > 0:10:32Right now, I'm not bothered about medals, I'm thinking
0:10:32 > 0:10:34about Elise right now.
0:10:34 > 0:10:37And hopefully, the injury's not a significant one.
0:10:37 > 0:10:40But as I say, as a precaution, she's gone to hospital to get a scan.
0:10:40 > 0:10:43But it looked a pretty heavy fall to me.
0:10:43 > 0:10:45For Christie, this has been the cruelest week,
0:10:45 > 0:10:47but her bad luck comes as her team's fortunes are improving.
0:10:47 > 0:10:50For Izzy Atkin, this was a twist into history,
0:10:50 > 0:10:55bronze in slopestyle is a first British medal won on skis.
0:10:55 > 0:10:58The American-born teenager needed a flawless final run.
0:10:58 > 0:11:02She had the tricks and the nerve to see it through.
0:11:02 > 0:11:05I was standing at the bottom after my third and final run.
0:11:05 > 0:11:07I know I had skied the best I could.
0:11:07 > 0:11:10And I was just waiting, you know, for that last was it three
0:11:10 > 0:11:12or four goals to drop, and my heart was racing.
0:11:12 > 0:11:14But yeah, I can't believe it.
0:11:14 > 0:11:17For Team GB, these games have been ground-breaking and heartbreaking.
0:11:17 > 0:11:25At the Olympics, four years hard work can be defined in a moment.
0:11:30 > 0:11:35As you saw, there was disappointment for Elise Christie. She was taken to
0:11:35 > 0:11:39hospital, underwent an x-ray but there were no broken bones and she
0:11:39 > 0:11:44will be assessed ahead of her potential competing in the 1000
0:11:44 > 0:11:49metres, her favourite event. But today belongs to Britain and
0:11:49 > 0:11:54especially Lizzy Yarnold.David in South Korea, the Winter Olympics
0:11:54 > 0:11:58coverage continues on BBC One after this. There is more news throughout
0:11:58 > 0:12:02the afternoon on the BBC News Channel and the next news on BBC One
0:12:02 > 0:12:10is at 5:25pm but by the now.
