0:01:22 > 0:01:27sporting folklore.That is a gold medal winning run, I'm sure of it.

0:01:56 > 0:02:00hide her delight.I'm just so relieved that I've done the race,

0:02:00 > 0:02:05been consistent and Laura and I are on the podium together.For her

0:02:05 > 0:02:10parents, Judith and Clive, another moment to savour.From the mixed

0:02:18 > 0:02:21medal here today and we have a bronze medal as well through Laura,

0:02:21 > 0:02:23is absolutely mind-boggling.A success story was started by the

0:02:25 > 0:02:29best until last to take bronze in the slopestyle and become Britain's

0:02:40 > 0:02:45excited, really happy, I'm stoked with how I skied and also stoked to

0:02:45 > 0:02:49win the bronze.The day was however tinged with disappointment as Elise

0:02:49 > 0:02:54Christie crashed out of the 1500 metres short track speed skating and

0:02:57 > 0:03:00Christie has crashed again now in the semifinal.She went to hospital

0:03:00 > 0:03:05as a precaution but was given the all clear and may get race in the

0:03:05 > 0:03:091000 metres as she bids to avoid a repeat of her nightmare in Sochi

0:03:09 > 0:03:13four years ago. But that will do little to dampen the British

0:03:13 > 0:03:18euphoria as they delivered on snow and ice Super Saturday to live long

0:03:18 > 0:03:23in the memory. David Ornstein, BBC News, in Pyeongchang.

0:03:23 > 0:03:25Theresa May has said cooperation on security

0:03:25 > 0:03:27with the European Union after Brexit calls for a new "deep

0:03:27 > 0:03:28and special partnership".

0:03:28 > 0:03:31In a speech in Germany, the Prime Minister warned that

0:03:31 > 0:03:33failing to work together would put everyone at risk.

0:03:33 > 0:03:36In response, the President of the European Commission said he'd

0:03:36 > 0:03:38welcome a close security alliance - but that it must be negotiated

0:03:38 > 0:03:40separately from other Brexit issues.

0:03:40 > 0:03:45Our political correspondent Vicki Young reports from Munich.

0:03:45 > 0:03:48In defence and security the UK is a significant player

0:03:48 > 0:03:52and the Prime Minister hopes that will get her a special deal.

0:03:52 > 0:03:54She arrived in Munich keen to lay out Britain's contribution.

0:03:54 > 0:03:57Generous spending on defence and expertise it wants

0:03:57 > 0:04:03to share even after Brexit.

0:04:03 > 0:04:07Theresa May urged the EU to take a practical approach.

0:04:07 > 0:04:11This cannot be a time when any of us allow competition between partners,

0:04:11 > 0:04:15rigid institutional restrictions, or deep-seated ideology,

0:04:15 > 0:04:17to inhibit our cooperation and jeopardise the security

0:04:17 > 0:04:21of our citizens.

0:04:21 > 0:04:24She's calling for a new security treaty so that the close

0:04:24 > 0:04:26partnership can continue.

0:04:26 > 0:04:29Failure to agree one would have damaging consequences, she said.

0:04:29 > 0:04:33We must do whatever is most practical and pragmatic

0:04:33 > 0:04:37in ensuring our collective security.

0:04:37 > 0:04:39Those who threaten our security would like nothing more

0:04:39 > 0:04:42than to see us fractured.

0:04:42 > 0:04:47Some listening to this were left bewildered.

0:04:47 > 0:04:51Te Brexit decision from the point of view of us inside the EU

0:04:51 > 0:04:56is extremely regretable.

0:04:56 > 0:04:59Things would be so much easier if you stayed,

0:04:59 > 0:05:01so here comes the question.

0:05:01 > 0:05:05APPLAUSE.

0:05:05 > 0:05:09Mrs May pointed out that Brexit was a democratic decision

0:05:09 > 0:05:11politicians should respect.

0:05:11 > 0:05:16One senior Brussels figure seemed to agree.

0:05:16 > 0:05:20The Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker said the EU wasn't at war

0:05:20 > 0:05:24with the UK and didn't want to take revenge on the British people.

0:05:24 > 0:05:28He said the security bridge would be maintained but you couldn't mix it

0:05:28 > 0:05:30up with other issues.

0:05:30 > 0:05:33So it's a pretty familiar message from Theresa May.

0:05:33 > 0:05:37The UK is leaving the European Union but that doesn't mean that close

0:05:37 > 0:05:40cooperation needs to end and it's a blunt message too,

0:05:40 > 0:05:44saying to Europe's leaders, don't let your ideology get

0:05:44 > 0:05:47in the way of the safety of our citizens.

0:05:47 > 0:05:50The government hopes today's speech will show it's acting responsibly,

0:05:50 > 0:05:52not wanting to drag the important issue of security into fraught

0:05:52 > 0:06:00Brexit negotiations.

0:06:05 > 0:06:09Downing Street has left Germany pretty encouraged by the warm words

0:06:09 > 0:06:12from Angela Merkel, the German leader, yesterday, and then the warm

0:06:12 > 0:06:16reception to the speech today. They feel that it shows the Prime

0:06:16 > 0:06:18Minister really seizing the initiative. Now of course there is

0:06:18 > 0:06:23no guarantee the EU will accept what she wants on security and some will

0:06:23 > 0:06:26look further ahead into next week, where may be an even bigger

0:06:26 > 0:06:29challenge has Theresa May gets her senior cabinet members around her

0:06:29 > 0:06:36and they try to thrash out a deal to agree what their future relationship

0:06:36 > 0:06:39with the EU will look like. Vicki Young, thank you.

0:06:39 > 0:06:42In the last hour, Ukip have voted to remove their leader Henry Bolton.

0:06:42 > 0:06:4563% of party members supported the motion of no confidence,

0:06:45 > 0:06:46following the controversy over racist messages sent

0:06:46 > 0:06:48by his then partner.

0:06:48 > 0:06:53Our political correspondent Alex Forsyth is in Birmingham.

0:06:53 > 0:07:00Where does this leave Ukip?Well, in the short term there is an interim

0:07:00 > 0:07:03leader, the MEP Gerard Batten but beyond that another leadership

0:07:03 > 0:07:09contest. This will be the party's fourth in just over 18 months, since

0:07:09 > 0:07:13Nigel Farage stepped down. There are some here who fear Ukip simply won't

0:07:13 > 0:07:17survive another divisive contest. There are others though, in fact the

0:07:17 > 0:07:20majority, who thought it was the right decision for Henry Bolton to

0:07:20 > 0:07:24because they said his personal life had become too much of a distraction

0:07:24 > 0:07:29from the job. So he has now stepped aside. Either way you look at this

0:07:29 > 0:07:34Ukip was a party that was riding high after the Brexit referendum,

0:07:34 > 0:07:39but since then it has struggled with internal infighting, to find

0:07:39 > 0:07:42direction, search for leadership and there's a danger now that while

0:07:42 > 0:07:46today has passed with no high drama there is broad acceptance of this

0:07:46 > 0:07:51result, in the long term this will only deepen, not heal, the party's

0:07:51 > 0:07:54divisions.Alex, thank you.

0:07:54 > 0:07:56President Trump has met survivors of Wednesday's high school

0:07:56 > 0:07:58shooting in Florida, in which 17 people died.

0:07:58 > 0:08:01It comes as pressure mounts on the FBI over the agency's failure

0:08:01 > 0:08:04to act on a tip-off that Nikolas Cruz, the suspected gunman,

0:08:04 > 0:08:05might carry out an attack.

0:08:05 > 0:08:09Aleem Maqbool reports.

0:08:09 > 0:08:13Some survivors of the school attack are still being treated in hospital.

0:08:13 > 0:08:17As he promised, the president visited here, albeit very briefly.

0:08:17 > 0:08:20REPORTER:Did you see some victims, Mr President?

0:08:20 > 0:08:24Yes, I did, I did indeed and it was very sad,

0:08:24 > 0:08:29something like that could happen, but the jobs the doctors do,

0:08:29 > 0:08:31the nurses, the hospital, first responders, law

0:08:31 > 0:08:36enforcement, really incredible.

0:08:36 > 0:08:38Donald Trump also met officials from the emergency services.

0:08:38 > 0:08:42What he didn't do though was answer any questions about the need

0:08:42 > 0:08:45to tighten gun laws.

0:08:45 > 0:08:49More funerals are being held for the 17 people who died.

0:08:49 > 0:08:55Most of them teenagers shot in their classrooms.

0:08:55 > 0:08:58This gun show was advertised close to the very school

0:08:58 > 0:08:59where the shooting took place.

0:08:59 > 0:09:02We weren't allowed in but spoke to people as they left.

0:09:02 > 0:09:06Is it worth sacrificing guns if it means there will not be any mass

0:09:06 > 0:09:08shootings or school shootings?

0:09:08 > 0:09:10I don't think it would make a difference,

0:09:10 > 0:09:13that's my honest opinion.

0:09:13 > 0:09:16If it was proven to me, sure, but unfortunately

0:09:16 > 0:09:17that's not the case.

0:09:17 > 0:09:19Life is delicate, you could kill somebody with a pencil.

0:09:19 > 0:09:22Barking up the wrong tree.

0:09:22 > 0:09:25And with more than 300 million firearms in circulation in this

0:09:25 > 0:09:29country, how do you change a gun culture that's become such

0:09:29 > 0:09:31an integral part of American life?

0:09:31 > 0:09:36Aleem Maqbool, BBC News, in Florida.

0:09:36 > 0:09:39A mini-earthquake has shaken Wales and parts of west England.

0:09:39 > 0:09:44You can see the large red lines here from The British Geological Survey.

0:09:44 > 0:09:47They show the tremor, which was a magnitude of 4.4.

0:09:47 > 0:09:50The epicentre was around 12 miles outside Swansea.

0:09:50 > 0:09:56Tremors of this scale are only felt in the UK every two to three years.

0:09:56 > 0:09:58There's more throughout the evening on the BBC News Channel.

0:09:58 > 0:10:00We're back with the late news just after ten.

0:10:00 > 0:10:03Now on BBC One it's time for the news where you are.

0:10:03 > 0:10:11Goodbye.
