Good evening. | 0:00:22 | 0:00:30 | |
The UN Security Council is expected
to vote shortly in a new attempt to | 0:00:30 | 0:00:34 | |
get a resolution calling for a 30
day ceasefire in Syria. | 0:00:34 | 0:00:37 | |
The vote has been delayed repeatedly
to avoid drawing a veto from Russia. | 0:00:37 | 0:00:40 | |
The Syrian government
is continuing its bombardment | 0:00:40 | 0:00:41 | |
of the rebel-held area
of Eastern Ghouta, | 0:00:41 | 0:00:43 | |
near the capital Damascus. | 0:00:43 | 0:00:48 | |
Activists say around 500 civilians
have been killed in the last week. | 0:00:48 | 0:00:51 | |
This report from Richard Galpin
contains distressing images. | 0:00:51 | 0:00:59 | |
On the ground in eastern Ghouta the
seventh consecutive day of punishing | 0:01:00 | 0:01:04 | |
air strikes. | 0:01:04 | 0:01:09 | |
air strikes. This video filmed by
the voluntary rescue teams known as | 0:01:09 | 0:01:12 | |
the White helmets show yet more
casualties being picked up. At least | 0:01:12 | 0:01:20 | |
30 people reported to have been
killed so far today. And this is the | 0:01:20 | 0:01:28 | |
United Nations Security Council
meets once again to try to pass a | 0:01:28 | 0:01:31 | |
resolution allowing for a 30 day
ceasefire in Syria after failing to | 0:01:31 | 0:01:34 | |
do so yesterday and the day before
because of Russian objections. If | 0:01:34 | 0:01:40 | |
you look what happened in the last
24 hours, any delay of action by the | 0:01:40 | 0:01:45 | |
security council leads to, again,
more loss of life. We should end the | 0:01:45 | 0:01:48 | |
violence now. Many children are
amongst the almost 3000 people | 0:01:48 | 0:01:55 | |
estimated to been killed or injured
over the past week. Inside the | 0:01:55 | 0:02:03 | |
hospitals, makeshift or official,
doctors are struggling to cope with | 0:02:03 | 0:02:07 | |
the huge number of casualties.
Besides the injured, more than 120 | 0:02:07 | 0:02:13 | |
children have been killed, according
to human rights activists. This | 0:02:13 | 0:02:20 | |
young girl says she and her sister
were caught up in the bombing. Her | 0:02:20 | 0:02:25 | |
sister hit in the eye and now cannot
see with it. The Syrian regime and | 0:02:25 | 0:02:33 | |
its ally, Russia, say this aerial
bombardment is only targeting | 0:02:33 | 0:02:37 | |
jihadists militants and rebels who
have been shelling parts of | 0:02:37 | 0:02:40 | |
Damascus. But there is clear
evidence on the ground of many | 0:02:40 | 0:02:44 | |
civilian casualties. Richard Galpin,
BBC News. | 0:02:44 | 0:02:50 | |
Nick Bryant is at
the UN in New York. | 0:02:50 | 0:02:54 | |
Is this vote happening tonight,
Nick? Yeah it looks like it's going | 0:02:54 | 0:02:59 | |
to happen shortly, Jane, and it
looks like they've reached an | 0:02:59 | 0:03:03 | |
agreement, they have reached
consensus on a ceasefire agreement. | 0:03:03 | 0:03:06 | |
They have been negotiating this
resolution for weeks. In the past 24 | 0:03:06 | 0:03:11 | |
hours the negotiations have looked
very bleak, in fact, most of the UN | 0:03:11 | 0:03:16 | |
ambassadors arrived at the Security
Council today with speeches that | 0:03:16 | 0:03:19 | |
were predicated on a Russian veto.
In the last few minutes I've been | 0:03:19 | 0:03:24 | |
watching those UN ambassadors making
frantic edits to those speeches, and | 0:03:24 | 0:03:28 | |
I've also had two people who are
closely involved with the | 0:03:28 | 0:03:33 | |
negotiation, texting me and saying,
yes there is a deal. One adds a note | 0:03:33 | 0:03:37 | |
of caution, let's wait to see the
Russian ambassador put his hand up | 0:03:37 | 0:03:41 | |
in the air to agree to it. But at
the moment they do not think there | 0:03:41 | 0:03:44 | |
is going to be a Russian veto on
this resolution. They do think it's | 0:03:44 | 0:03:49 | |
going to pass, and significantly.
Just a few moments ago I watched the | 0:03:49 | 0:03:54 | |
Swedish ambassador, who has drafted
this resolution, who has been so | 0:03:54 | 0:03:58 | |
integral involved in the
negotiation. He was smiling. When he | 0:03:58 | 0:04:02 | |
left the building, I was with him
last night in New York, he looked | 0:04:02 | 0:04:06 | |
like a broken man, but in the last
few minutes he's been smiling. | 0:04:06 | 0:04:10 | |
Another indication that this
resolution will pass. Thanks very | 0:04:10 | 0:04:15 | |
much. Nick Bryant at the United
Nations. | 0:04:15 | 0:04:18 | |
Two people have been
remanded in custody, | 0:04:18 | 0:04:20 | |
charged with causing the death
of two young brothers | 0:04:20 | 0:04:22 | |
by dangerous driving. | 0:04:22 | 0:04:24 | |
Corey and Casper Platt-May,
who were 6 and 2, were on a family | 0:04:24 | 0:04:27 | |
trip to a park in Coventry
when they were hit | 0:04:27 | 0:04:29 | |
by a car on Thursday. | 0:04:29 | 0:04:30 | |
Robert Brown, who's 53,
and Gwendoline Harrison, | 0:04:30 | 0:04:33 | |
who's 41, were remanded
in custody by magistrates. | 0:04:33 | 0:04:40 | |
The comedy actress Emma
Chambers has died aged 53. | 0:04:40 | 0:04:44 | |
Emma Chambers was best known for
playing Alice Tinker in a long | 0:04:44 | 0:04:50 | |
running series the Vicar of debris
alongside Dawn French. | 0:04:50 | 0:04:59 | |
As well as her role
as Honey Thacker in Notting Hill. | 0:04:59 | 0:05:02 | |

A record-breaking day for Great
Britain and Northern Ireland at the | 0:05:14 | 0:05:16 | |
Winter Olympic. Billie Morgan took
bronze in the snowboarding big air | 0:05:16 | 0:05:20 | |
competition and in doing so Wynne
Team GB's fifth medal, their highest | 0:05:20 | 0:05:26 | |
tally in Winter Olympics history.
Andy Swiss reports from PyeongChang. | 0:05:26 | 0:05:29 | |
He needs to go absolutely
stratospheric. He is a former | 0:05:30 | 0:05:34 | |
Acrobat with a dodgy knee but Billie
Morgan was about to leap into | 0:05:34 | 0:05:38 | |
history. Billie Morgan, yes! At 28
Morgan is a snowboarding veteran. | 0:05:38 | 0:05:45 | |
This his last job, but surely his
last Olympics. What a way to finish. | 0:05:45 | 0:05:50 | |
That is absolutely huge. It
propelled Morgan into bronze medal | 0:05:50 | 0:05:55 | |
position and one by one his rivals
hopes came tumbling down. He's gone! | 0:05:55 | 0:06:00 | |
When the last one crashed, Morgan,
to his utter disbelief, had his | 0:06:00 | 0:06:03 | |
medal. It's pretty rad, if everybody
landed their runs I wouldn't be in | 0:06:03 | 0:06:09 | |
this position, so it's a bit of
luck, luck of the draw. It came down | 0:06:09 | 0:06:12 | |
to me on the day, happy days.
Morgan's joy was also Team GB's. A | 0:06:12 | 0:06:19 | |
record-breaking fifth medal of these
games. The British team have had | 0:06:19 | 0:06:26 | |
their ups and downs here. Billie
Morgan has ensured they hit their | 0:06:26 | 0:06:30 | |
target of making this their most
successful Winter Olympics in | 0:06:30 | 0:06:32 | |
history. There have been bitter
disappointments. None more so than | 0:06:32 | 0:06:40 | |
the women's curlers set to take
their bronze medal match to an extra | 0:06:40 | 0:06:44 | |
end, Catherine Muirhead went for
broke, a shot for victory, but | 0:06:44 | 0:06:47 | |
instead calamity. It's got to just
sit right. It's not. Instead of | 0:06:47 | 0:06:52 | |
knocking out Japan's stone, she
knocked out her own, handing their | 0:06:52 | 0:06:57 | |
opponents the bronze and Britain a
desperate defeat. We're going home | 0:06:57 | 0:07:00 | |
with nothing. We battled so hard. As
I say, I'm devastated that it didn't | 0:07:00 | 0:07:09 | |
turn out. For another woman, a day
of extraordinary achievement. He's | 0:07:09 | 0:07:17 | |
going to make history. After winning
gold on skis last weekend it was | 0:07:17 | 0:07:20 | |
gold on a snowboard for the Czech
Republic. Two titles, two sports, | 0:07:20 | 0:07:27 | |
one quite extraordinary athlete.

Ireland have won fascinating six
Nations encounter, beating Wales | 0:07:35 | 0:07:41 | |
37-27. Adam Werritty | 0:07:41 | 0:07:42 | |
around Dublin, the smiles were
there, friendly high spirits perhaps | 0:07:42 | 0:07:47 | |
but scratch the surface and you find
a a contest with a harder edge. This | 0:07:47 | 0:07:52 | |
victory has become one of the most
fiercely fought of the tournament, | 0:07:52 | 0:07:55 | |
pride, passion of course, but also
now a stinging rivalry. This was | 0:07:55 | 0:08:00 | |
Jacob Stockdale calming any Irish
nerves. They wouldn't stay calm for | 0:08:00 | 0:08:03 | |
long. Wales clear that picture here
was vital to reignite their | 0:08:03 | 0:08:08 | |
championship ambition. Gareth Davies

visitors finding the lead. Ireland
would find their inspiration in the | 0:08:12 | 0:08:17 | |
people of Dublin. Dad needy and Cian
Healy in their home city, both | 0:08:17 | 0:08:25 | |
forcing their way over. This was a
match that would end with holding | 0:08:25 | 0:08:29 | |
their breath when Steff Evans
crossed with minutes remaining, | 0:08:29 | 0:08:33 | |
suddenly Wales could sense something
special. One last effort but also | 0:08:33 | 0:08:36 | |
one reckless pass. That was all
Ireland need. A day that began with | 0:08:36 | 0:08:43 | |
smiles. There will be a few more
around Dublin this evening. Adam | 0:08:43 | 0:08:46 | |
