Labour calls for the UK to remain

in a customs union after Brexit.

0:00:070:00:12

The party says it would be

best for trade and for

0:00:120:00:15

the Northern Ireland border,

and warns the Government it may not

0:00:150:00:17

have parliamentary support

for its vision of Brexit.

0:00:170:00:21

With both Jeremy Corbyn

and Theresa May giving

0:00:210:00:24

major speeches this week,

we'll be asking where Labour's shift

0:00:240:00:26

leaves the Government.

0:00:260:00:28

Also tonight...

0:00:280:00:32

More fighting between the Syrian

government and rebel groups

0:00:320:00:34

in the Damascus suburb

of eastern Ghouta.

0:00:340:00:40

In Leicester, emergency services

deal with a major incident

0:00:400:00:42

after an explosion and fire.

0:00:420:00:46

On the campaign trail in Italy.

0:00:460:00:48

How far-right politicians

are drawing big crowds ahead

0:00:480:00:50

of next week's election.

0:00:500:00:58

Song and celebration,

as the Winter Olympics that mixed

0:00:580:01:00

sport and politics come to an end.

0:01:000:01:04

And tributes to one of Bollywood's

leading ladies - Sridevi -

0:01:040:01:07

who's died at the age of 54.

0:01:070:01:15

Good evening.

0:01:280:01:31

Labour wants the UK

to remain in a customs union

0:01:310:01:33

with the EU after Brexit,

according to the Shadow

0:01:330:01:35

Brexit Secretary.

0:01:350:01:37

Sir Keir Starmer said

today that a new treaty,

0:01:370:01:41

replicating the existing customs

arrangement, would be best

0:01:410:01:44

for the economy and respect

the referendum result.

0:01:440:01:47

The Prime Minister is committed

to leaving both the single market

0:01:470:01:49

and the customs union.

0:01:490:01:52

She's expected to outline

the Government's position

0:01:520:01:53

in more detail this week.

0:01:530:01:55

Our political correspondent,

Ben Wright, reports.

0:01:550:02:00

When it comes to trading with the EU

after Brexit, there is now clear

0:02:000:02:03

water between the

Government and Labour.

0:02:030:02:06

In a speech tomorrow, Jeremy Corbyn

will confirm his party would

0:02:060:02:09

keep the UK in a customs

union with the EU.

0:02:090:02:12

Crunch time is coming

for the Prime Minister because the

0:02:120:02:15

majority in parliament does not back

her approach to a customs union.

0:02:150:02:20

Labour's Brexit spokesman said

the UK would be better off teaming

0:02:200:02:22

up with the EU to reach new trade

deals with other countries.

0:02:220:02:27

Obviously, realistically

it's the only way to get

0:02:270:02:29

tariff free access.

0:02:290:02:30

It's really important for our

manufacturing base and nobody

0:02:300:02:32

can answer the question, how

you keep your commitment to no hard

0:02:320:02:37

border in Northern Ireland

without a customs union.

0:02:370:02:40

As an EU member we are currently

in the European customs union.

0:02:400:02:43

The idea behind it is pretty simple.

0:02:430:02:46

A single set of tariffs

is imposed on goods imported

0:02:460:02:48

from outside the EU.

0:02:480:02:51

Goods can then move freely

without tariffs around

0:02:510:02:53

the bloc but members cannot

do their own trade deals.

0:02:530:02:58

The EU also has a single market

which allows capital,

0:02:580:03:02

services and people to move freely

around member states.

0:03:020:03:07

The Government says we will leave

the customs union and the single

0:03:070:03:10

market after Brexit.

0:03:100:03:13

Some Labour MPs want

their party to commit to both.

0:03:130:03:16

It's a massive hit

on our economy if we

0:03:160:03:18

leave the single market,

if we leave the customs union.

0:03:180:03:20

It's a massive hit to peace

in Northern Ireland if

0:03:200:03:23

we leave the customs union.

0:03:230:03:24

These are core Labour values.

0:03:240:03:25

But Brexit-supporting

Labour MPs argue

0:03:250:03:26

the party risks betraying

their own voters.

0:03:260:03:31

You've come out, Stella,

with all these things,

0:03:310:03:34

we will stay in the customs union,

we will stay in the single market.

0:03:340:03:37

The decision was quite

clear to leave.

0:03:370:03:39

In the north, Labour voters

voted very, very clearly.

0:03:390:03:43

Are you going to rat on them or not?

0:03:430:03:47

The Brexit negotiation

is not only a haggle

0:03:470:03:49

between the UK

Government and the EU.

0:03:490:03:51

Parliament is critical, too.

0:03:510:03:52

Theresa May did not have an overall

majority in the Commons and a

0:03:520:03:56

number of Tory MPs also

argue that the UK should

0:03:560:03:59

have a customs union with the EU.

0:03:590:04:03

So, a vote, when it comes,

could force the Government to

0:04:030:04:06

change its position.

0:04:060:04:08

The Government insists the UK must

be free to have an independent trade

0:04:080:04:11

policy after Brexit

outside the customs union.

0:04:110:04:16

Labour say they want

to join a customs union,

0:04:160:04:18

what does that mean?

0:04:180:04:20

Is it like Turkey, which has

a customs union but only in goods,

0:04:200:04:23

but not in agriculture,

not in services, not in finance?

0:04:230:04:26

Is that what we want for Britain?

0:04:260:04:29

Will we take rules in certain

sectors but not in others?

0:04:290:04:32

Liam Fox also said the Government

would try to persuade all Tory MPs

0:04:320:04:35

about the Government's position

before putting a trade

0:04:350:04:37

deal before MPs which,

at the moment, looks like

0:04:370:04:39

it could be defeated if Labour joins

Tory rebels in calling

0:04:390:04:43

for a new customs union.

0:04:430:04:51

Which is why the impact of Labour's

is the shift could be

0:04:530:04:57

very significant. Today, a couple of

the Conservative MPs who also want a

0:04:570:05:01

customs union between the UK and

European union after Brexit... The

0:05:010:05:08

potential is there to allow the

Government's said plan out of the

0:05:080:05:13

water. A lot could happen before

then including what is billed as a

0:05:130:05:18

very important speech by Theresa May

on Brexit in which ears to set out

0:05:180:05:22

in more detail on how the Government

wants to get frictionless free trade

0:05:220:05:26

with the EU outside the customs

union that speech would be closely

0:05:260:05:30

watched by the EU and sceptics

within the Prime Minister's own

0:05:300:05:34

party. Thank you very much, then

right.

0:05:340:05:41

-- Ben Wright.

0:05:430:05:44

Fighting is continuing

in the Damascus suburb

0:05:440:05:46

of Eastern Ghouta, a day

after the UN Security Council passed

0:05:460:05:48

a resolution calling

for a ceasefire to be implemented.

0:05:480:05:50

The Syrian government is trying

to retake the area from rebels,

0:05:500:05:53

some of whom are linked

to extremist groups.

0:05:530:05:55

Our Middle East Editor,

Jeremy Bowen, has this report.

0:05:550:05:57

You may find some of it distressing.

0:05:570:05:59

This was inside eastern Ghouta.

0:05:590:06:00

In almost seven years

of war in Syria, real

0:06:000:06:03

ceasefires have been rare,

ineffective and short.

0:06:030:06:10

The UN couldn't agree on a start

time for the ceasefire.

0:06:100:06:14

The best they could do

was to say "without delay".

0:06:140:06:17

That is elastic enough to wreck this

ceasefire's chances.

0:06:170:06:24

Today is the first day

of the ceasefire resolution.

0:06:240:06:28

Still there's warplane, atmosphere,

there is still shelling.

0:06:280:06:35

It's less than before.

0:06:350:06:42

Civilians are still being killed.

0:06:420:06:45

Civil defence workers dug a badly

injured baby out of this bomb site.

0:06:450:06:49

Already the Russians say Jaysh

al-Islam, the main armed

0:06:490:06:52

group in the enclave,

has broken the ceasefire.

0:06:520:06:56

It says it's forced to fight back.

0:06:560:07:04

TRANSLATION:

When the regime is not

abiding by the UN resolution

0:07:050:07:07

I cannot stand still and watch

and not defend myself

0:07:070:07:12

and our families in Ghouta.

0:07:120:07:17

This boy and the men with him are,

we are told, victims

0:07:170:07:20

of a chlorine attack.

0:07:200:07:25

When it's weaponised, chlorine

is banned under international law.

0:07:250:07:28

The Russians claim this

is fake, part of a plan

0:07:280:07:31

to discredit Syrian army.

0:07:310:07:37

Whether you believe these pictures,

or the Russians, it's another bad

0:07:370:07:40

sign for the ceasefire.

0:07:400:07:45

The Syrian army is dug

in around eastern Ghouta,

0:07:450:07:47

reported to be pushing forward.

0:07:470:07:49

Ceasefire or not,

it can sense victory.

0:07:490:07:57

Ceasefires need both goodwill and

self-interest if they are to have a

0:08:010:08:06

chance. The ceasefires of Syrian

regime like best are ones that lead

0:08:060:08:10

to surrenders, which is what has

happened and all the other rebel

0:08:100:08:15

enclaves around Damascus. Let's hope

it is a proper, humanitarian

0:08:150:08:18

ceasefire. I am afraid to say,

history is against it. Thank you.

0:08:180:08:28

A major incident has been

declared in Leicester

0:08:280:08:30

after a large explosion destroyed

a shop, and a home above it.

0:08:300:08:33

Four people have been taken

to hospital, and members

0:08:330:08:35

of the public have been told

to avoid the area.

0:08:350:08:37

Our correspondent, Jeremy Ball,

is on the scene now.

0:08:370:08:39

Jeremy, what more can you tell us?

0:08:390:08:41

It is around three hours since the

explosion happened. There is still

0:08:410:08:46

thick, acrid smoke drifting across

the scene. People who live here

0:08:460:08:50

described hearing such a loud bang

it sounded something like an

0:08:500:08:53

earthquake. We heard that the shop,

a Polish convenience store, has been

0:08:530:09:03

destroyed. People live above the

shop. We have seen search and rescue

0:09:030:09:11

dogs at the scene. Four people have

been taken to hospital but the

0:09:110:09:15

building will have to be searched to

find out if anyone else is trapped

0:09:150:09:18

in the wreckage was we can still see

flames coming out of the building,

0:09:180:09:22

so it is still an ongoing incident.

It will not be until the search is

0:09:220:09:27

finished that the investigation can

begin to find out what has happened

0:09:270:09:29

here.

Thank you.

0:09:290:09:34

After 16 days of competition,

the Winter Olympics in South Korea

0:09:340:09:37

have drawn to a close,

with a colourful ceremony featuring

0:09:370:09:39

nearly 3,000 athletes.

0:09:390:09:40

The politics, which underpinned much

of the Games, were at the fore again

0:09:400:09:43

today as North Korea

signalled its willingness to hold

0:09:430:09:45

talks with the United States.

0:09:450:09:47

Laura Bicker reports

from Pyeongchang.

0:09:470:09:52

This is the confident

side of South Korea.

0:09:520:09:57

Modern, dynamic, and edgy.

0:09:570:10:05

The perfect stage for

a record-breaking British team.

0:10:060:10:09

Five medals in these Winter Games.

0:10:090:10:14

This year will be remembered

by Russia as well,

0:10:140:10:17

its athletes still not allowed

to fly their flag after a doping

0:10:170:10:20

ban.

0:10:200:10:21

It will be lifted if

no more cases arise.

0:10:210:10:28

We were taken on a journey

through time, a mix of old and new.

0:10:280:10:36

Vivaldi's Four Seasons,

led by a 13-year-old

0:10:420:10:44

shredding his guitar.

0:10:440:10:45

And backed by 80 traditional

Korean instruments.

0:10:450:10:48

But much of the drama

in Pyeongchang was political.

0:10:480:10:53

Entering this arena is the US

President's daughter, Ivanka Trump.

0:10:530:10:58

Hugs for the South Korean First

Lady, but no warm reception

0:10:580:11:02

for the

North Korean general

0:11:020:11:03

sitting behind her.

0:11:030:11:05

There was no contact between

the two, but it does seem that

0:11:050:11:10

Pyeongyang is now ready

to talk to the US.

0:11:100:11:14

A victory for the South Korean

leader, President Moon.

0:11:140:11:19

Unlike the opening ceremony,

athletes from the two Koreas flew

0:11:190:11:22

their own country's colours,

highlighting the division despite

0:11:220:11:24

the diplomacy.

0:11:240:11:25

Critics fear the North has

been given too much of a

0:11:250:11:28

platform at these Games.

0:11:280:11:30

The minister responsible for talks

between the two Koreas says

0:11:300:11:34

Pyeongyang is being pushed

on its nuclear weapons.

0:11:340:11:38

TRANSLATION:

We did convey

the message to the North Koreans

0:11:380:11:40

multiple times.

0:11:400:11:46

It is necessary that North Korea

and the United States talk

0:11:460:11:49

to each other to solve this

in a peaceful manner.

0:11:490:11:53

But at the end of this Olympic

reverie there could be

0:11:530:11:55

a dose of reality.

0:11:550:11:56

This show of harmony has

given South Korea some

0:11:560:12:00

breathing space, but tensions

still lurk in the background.

0:12:000:12:05

Unfortunately, it's

not going to last.

0:12:050:12:08

North Koreans are entirely

separating, they've said it from the

0:12:080:12:11

first meeting, that the nuclear

issue has nothing to do with the

0:12:110:12:19

cooperation between the two Koreas

concering the Olympic Games.

0:12:230:12:25

And so Pyeongchang

bids farewell to the

0:12:250:12:27

Olympic flame and many

wonder what could be

0:12:270:12:29

next for the two Koreas.

0:12:290:12:32

These Games are ending just

as they began, with a major

0:12:320:12:34

diplomatic breakthrough.

0:12:340:12:36

North Korea has said it's willing

to talk to the United States.

0:12:360:12:42

There's still a huge problem

of its nuclear weapons programme,

0:12:420:12:44

but this is the first progress made

on this peninsula in years.

0:12:440:12:47

Laura Bicker, BBC News, Pyeongchang.

0:12:470:12:53

More than a thousand people have

taken part in a march

0:12:530:12:55

in the centre of Belfast calling

for action on the legacy

0:12:550:12:58

of Northern Ireland's Troubles.

0:12:580:13:01

The march was organised by a number

0:13:010:13:03

of groups representing people

who lost their lives.

0:13:030:13:05

They say promises to

deal with the past,

0:13:050:13:07

including a five-year plan

to complete outstanding inquests,

0:13:070:13:09

have been broken.

0:13:090:13:11

China's ruling Communist Party

is expected to abandon a rule

0:13:110:13:15

limiting the time a president can

serve in office - a move

0:13:150:13:18

which could see the current leader

Xi Jinping stay on indefinitely.

0:13:180:13:22

He had been due to step down

in 2023, after ten years in the job.

0:13:220:13:30

The change will be seen as further

evidence of his growing hold on

0:13:310:13:35

power.

0:13:350:13:38

Italians head to the polls in a week

in a general election

0:13:380:13:42

that has the rest of Europe

on the edge of its seat.

0:13:420:13:45

Populist politicians are leading

the polls with Italians

0:13:450:13:47

angry about migration,

frustrated with the EU and worried

0:13:470:13:49

about their sluggish economy.

0:13:490:13:50

Our Europe Editor, Katya Adler,

reports from Milan.

0:13:500:13:56

In Italy this election season,

populism rather than policy

0:13:560:13:58

is the undisputed vote winner.

0:13:580:14:01

Italians flock to those

who say they are listening

0:14:010:14:06

to their frustrations

with the status quo.

0:14:060:14:10

Matteo Salvini leads the hard right

anti-immigration League party.

0:14:100:14:18

It's almost more popstar than

politician.

0:14:180:14:23

All of Matteo Salvini's

supporters hoping he can make it

0:14:230:14:30

to Prime Minister with his

slogan, "Italy First."

0:14:300:14:34

"What do you say to those who call

you a racist populist?", I asked.

0:14:340:14:38

TRANSLATION:

I don't respond

to insults, but I'm proud to be

0:14:380:14:41

a populist if it means being amongst

people, solving their problems.

0:14:410:14:46

Immigration is seen

as a big problem here.

0:14:460:14:49

Around 700,000 mainly African

migrants arrived here by boat

0:14:490:14:53

over the past few years.

0:14:530:14:55

Many asylum claims are rejected.

0:14:550:14:58

People go underground.

0:14:580:15:02

The police said we needed an escort

to visit these illegally

0:15:020:15:06

occupied buildings in Turin.

0:15:060:15:09

We clearly weren't welcome.

0:15:090:15:12

Recent attacks by migrants

and against migrants in Italy,

0:15:120:15:15

plus widespread pre-election

anti-immigration rhetoric,

0:15:150:15:19

have stoked tensions here.

0:15:190:15:26

The Mayor of Turin is from another

populist, big-hitter party,

0:15:260:15:30

the controversial Five Star Movement

- anti-migration, Eurosceptic

0:15:300:15:33

and very antiestablishment.

0:15:330:15:39

Mayor Appendino took me for a spin

in her intentionally

0:15:390:15:42

non-bling electric car.

0:15:420:15:48

We have had a crisis,

economic crisis.

0:15:480:15:51

People don't like the establishment

because there are no solutions

0:15:510:15:53

and poverty is increasing,

so what they see in us,

0:15:530:15:59

when they were so young

and they never did politics before,

0:15:590:16:02

and they see in us a way

to get out of the crisis,

0:16:020:16:05

a way to find new solutions.

0:16:050:16:08

With populists so popular here,

should Europe brace itself

0:16:080:16:11

for turmoil in Italy,

the Eurozone's third-largest

0:16:110:16:13

economy, after these elections?

0:16:130:16:20

Well, not quite.

0:16:200:16:21

Remember him?

0:16:210:16:24

Yes, Berlusconi is back,

and the irony of the populist

0:16:240:16:27

outbreak in Italy is that a man

who disappeared from politics

0:16:270:16:30

surrounded by scandal has now

returned and is able to present

0:16:300:16:33

himself as a calm elder statesman.

0:16:330:16:40

Silvio Berlusconi can't run

for office because of a conviction

0:16:400:16:43

for tax fraud, but his party

will likely have a key

0:16:430:16:46

role in forming the next

Italian government.

0:16:460:16:51

Which is why, despite all

the political rhetoric here,

0:16:510:16:55

young voters fear little

will actually change in Italy

0:16:550:16:58

after these elections.

0:16:580:17:02

In these elections, nobody

is speaking about young

0:17:020:17:04

people in the proper way.

0:17:040:17:08

Most of our schoolmates

right now are unemployed.

0:17:080:17:10

There's hope in the future.

0:17:100:17:16

Voter turnout in these elections

is expected to be high.

0:17:160:17:19

Italians are engaged -

and angry.

More on the last day

at the Winter Olympics,

0:17:310:17:32

and the rest of the sport,

over to Karthi Gnanasegaram.

0:17:320:17:35

Good evening.

0:17:350:17:36

Manchester City have won their first

trophy under manager, Pep Guardiola.

0:17:360:17:40

City beat Arsenal 3-0

in the Carabao Cup final

0:17:400:17:43

but Guardiola didn't go up

to collect the trophy, saying

0:17:430:17:45

it was for the club and not for him.

0:17:450:17:47

Natalie Pirks reports from Wembley.

0:17:470:17:51

Winning trophies is nothing

new for Manchester City,

0:17:510:17:55

but Pep Guardiola was probably

surprised at just how simple

0:17:550:17:57

the first of his reign was.

0:17:570:18:01

The day started in

crisp London sunshine.

0:18:010:18:04

Yellow ribbons caught the eye,

Guardiola again defying the FA

0:18:040:18:06

by wearing his for imprisoned

Catalan politicians.

0:18:060:18:10

Arsene Wenger has never

won the League Cup.

0:18:100:18:13

He had reason to look pensive.

0:18:130:18:16

Manchester City aren't known

for route one football,

0:18:160:18:23

but from a goal kick Sergio Aguero

outmuscled Arsenal's

0:18:230:18:24

defence with ease.

0:18:240:18:25

Sergio Aguero!

0:18:250:18:26

That lob was rather cheeky, too.

0:18:260:18:28

From woeful defenders to wonderful.

0:18:280:18:30

Vincent Kompany, so often

out injured, popped up

0:18:300:18:32

with an important contribution.

0:18:320:18:36

And just look what it meant to him.

0:18:360:18:39

Fans were celebrating,

but City weren't quite done yet.

0:18:390:18:44

On a night where City's

old guard came up trumps,

0:18:440:18:46

Arsenal's fans were left wondering

just how they got it so wrong.

0:18:460:18:50

Arsene Wenger had said this

was Arsenal's chance to show

0:18:500:18:53

they were on City's level.

0:18:530:18:55

At times, they didn't appear

to be on the same planet.

0:18:550:18:58

This trophy remains elusive

for Wenger but, for Guardiola,

0:18:580:19:01

it could be the first of many.

0:19:010:19:03

The treble is still very much on.

0:19:030:19:06

Natalie Pirks, BBC News, Wembley.

0:19:060:19:13

Great Britain didn't win any

medals on the final day

0:19:130:19:15

of the Winter Olympics but this has

been their most

0:19:150:19:18

successful Winter Games.

0:19:180:19:23

Andy Swiss reports from Pyeongchang.

0:19:230:19:25

Britain's Olympic journey here

hasn't always been the smoothest.

0:19:250:19:28

17th and 18th for the much

touted bobsleighers,

0:19:280:19:30

a disappointing finish,

but their misses have

0:19:300:19:32

been matched by medals.

0:19:320:19:33

Yarnold wins gold again!

0:19:330:19:36

Laura Deas has won bronze as well.

0:19:360:19:37

A record five in total...

0:19:370:19:38

Billy Morgan!

0:19:380:19:40

Yes!

0:19:400:19:45

After some £30 million of funding,

they haven't come cheap,

0:19:450:19:48

but the team believe

they are worth it.

0:19:480:19:50

We are very happy.

0:19:500:19:51

It's a historic Games,

our best ever Winter Olympics,

0:19:510:19:54

three medals on that Saturday,

and back-to-back gold

0:19:540:19:56

medals with Lizzy Yarnold.

0:19:560:20:02

The greatest feat came in the skiing

as Norway sealed their place at the

0:20:020:20:08

top of the medals table thanks to

the most decorated Winter Olympian

0:20:080:20:13

of all time, winning her 15th medal,

a glorious finale to a glittering

0:20:130:20:18

career. And so a spectacular end to

a Games that has seen some stunning

0:20:180:20:25

performances and a record tally by

Great Britain.

Ben Stokes' bowling has been

described as "brilliant"

0:20:390:20:41

by the England cricket captain,

Eoin Morgan.

0:20:410:20:43

Stokes played for the international

team for the first time

0:20:430:20:45

since September but his two wickets

couldn't save England who lost

0:20:450:20:48

the first One Day International

against New Zealand

0:20:480:20:50

by three wickets.

0:20:500:20:51

The Indian actress, Sridevi,

who starred in nearly

0:20:550:20:57

300 Bollywood films,

has died of a heart

0:20:570:20:59

attack at the age of 54.

0:20:590:21:01

A former child star,

her films had huge box office

0:21:010:21:03

success from the 1970s

to the late 1990s.

0:21:030:21:09

That was whether or not she had a

prominent male co-star.

0:21:090:21:13

Rajini Vaidyanathan

looks back at her life.

0:21:130:21:14

For decades, she was

Bollywood's leading lady.

0:21:140:21:16

Sridevi captivated audiences

with her charisma and comic timing.

0:21:160:21:18

In a male-dominated film

industry, she was one of the

0:21:180:21:21

first woman to become

a megastar in her own right.

0:21:210:21:23

You know, the audience

just wants a good film.

0:21:230:21:26

That's what matters.

0:21:260:21:31

Whether it is a heroine-oriented

or hero-oriented film.

0:21:310:21:34

Sridevi was attending a family

wedding with her husband and

0:21:340:21:37

daughter in Dubai when she suffered

a heart attack late on Saturday

0:21:370:21:40

night.

0:21:400:21:41

As news of her death broke,

crowds gathered outside her house in

0:21:410:21:44

Mumbai.

0:21:440:21:45

Across India, fans paid tribute.

0:21:450:21:49

It is a loss to our country,

to the film industry.

0:21:490:21:52

She was such a role model

to all women across the country.

0:21:520:21:58

Now we've got a lot of famous

leading ladies in Bollywood.

0:21:580:22:02

Back then, in the 80s and early 90s,

there weren't too many of them.

0:22:020:22:05

She was one of the first.

0:22:050:22:06

India is mourning the loss of one

of its brightest stars.

0:22:060:22:09

One film producer described

the impact of Sridevi's death -

0:22:090:22:12

saying she was a pioneer,

who put the early cracks of

0:22:120:22:14

the glass ceiling of Bollywood

and paved the way for today's female

0:22:140:22:19

film stars.

0:22:190:22:23

Sridevi will be remembered

for the way she lit up the screen.

0:22:230:22:27

She left the world of Bollywood way

too soon but her legacy is enduring.

0:22:270:22:33

Sridevi Kapoor,

who has died aged 54.

0:22:330:22:39

That's all from us.
