:00:08. > :00:24.An hour of news right here, and well told from was speaking in virgin

:00:25. > :00:29.you, members of Parliament were debating the idea of banning him

:00:30. > :00:35.from the country for hate speech. His words Ahronot, colour, they are

:00:36. > :00:40.not they are poisonous. -- they are not comical.

:00:41. > :00:43.I've been speaking to BBC Arabic about a man arrested in Morocco,

:00:44. > :00:45.who apparently has direct links to the Paris attacks.

:00:46. > :00:47.I'll play you a BBC and Buzzfeed investigation into match-fixing

:00:48. > :00:49.in tennis, and reaction from Novak Djokovic.

:00:50. > :00:52.Millions of you have been watching this video of a Space X rocket

:00:53. > :00:54.landing on a boat, and then, well,

:00:55. > :01:10.And as ever, if you are online at the same time with your smartphone

:01:11. > :01:12.or a tablet, if you tweet using this #, I will do my best to answer it

:01:13. > :01:27.before the R is out. One of the more surreal afternoons

:01:28. > :01:29.for British politics. Members of Parliament have decided

:01:30. > :01:32.not to back the idea of banning But they did spend several hours

:01:33. > :01:38.of their busy day debating it. This story all started

:01:39. > :01:41.several weeks ago with this Donald J Trump is calling

:01:42. > :01:48.for a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering

:01:49. > :01:51.the United States, until our country's representatives can figure

:01:52. > :02:03.out what the hell is going on. After that a peitition was started

:02:04. > :02:06.on the UK parliament website. Over half a million

:02:07. > :02:07.people signed it. Under the rules, MPs have

:02:08. > :02:10.to consider a parliamentary discussion of any petition that

:02:11. > :02:15.hits 100,000 signatures. because while British MPs were

:02:16. > :02:21.talking about him in Westminster. 6152 kilometres away,

:02:22. > :02:26.in Lynchburg, Virginia, We've brought both events

:02:27. > :02:40.together in one report. Order, order. Mr Flynn to move the

:02:41. > :03:06.motion. At least you know you're not wasting

:03:07. > :03:12.your time today. 42% is good. I would take 42% if we had three

:03:13. > :03:17.people. Lavishing him with attention, even if it is only to

:03:18. > :03:22.condemn, is only falling into that trap he has set. His popularity

:03:23. > :03:29.among voters is evidence of this. We can all be politically, correct, it

:03:30. > :03:36.takes too much time, and a lot of it is wrong. I draw the line of freedom

:03:37. > :03:42.of speech when it imports violent ideology, which I feel is happening.

:03:43. > :03:48.I won't let the Syrians that we have no idea who they are, they may be

:03:49. > :03:55.Isis, it may be the Trojan horse, who knows? Week cannot take a

:03:56. > :04:00.chance. His comments regarding Muslims are wrong. His policy to

:04:01. > :04:07.close borders of a lack that President is bonkers. If I didn't

:04:08. > :04:11.talk about a legal immigration in my opening remarks I don't think you

:04:12. > :04:17.would be talking about it today and it is one of the most important

:04:18. > :04:22.things. There is a peer of immigration and global security and

:04:23. > :04:26.I suspect Donald Trump's fears were bored out of aspiration self,

:04:27. > :04:33.although he should be leading to clearer understanding of this. The

:04:34. > :04:38.difficulty we are in is showing disrespect for Mr Crump might be

:04:39. > :04:44.interpreted by his supporters and others as showing disrespect to

:04:45. > :04:50.America. This is not what we are saying, it is one individual

:04:51. > :04:56.involved in this. There you go, two stories in one report. Let's go live

:04:57. > :05:01.now to Washington. I guess Washington will not be -- I guess

:05:02. > :05:06.Donald Trump will not be losing sleep about being called honkers by

:05:07. > :05:13.a parliamentarian. And look at the tone of that debate compared to

:05:14. > :05:19.Donald Trump's rallies, which are festivities of colour and outlandish

:05:20. > :05:23.remarks, so the risk in difference between the two and you were right,

:05:24. > :05:28.he will not care what the British Parliament says, in fact I would not

:05:29. > :05:33.surprised if he uses that to his than a foot in the way he uses

:05:34. > :05:40.everything set against them, he turns it around and gets a boost in

:05:41. > :05:44.the polls. But isn't there an issue here that the UK and US are supposed

:05:45. > :05:48.to be close, he wants to be president and it might not be great

:05:49. > :05:54.if British parliamentarians are having these discussions. This can

:05:55. > :06:00.work in funny ways because among Trump's supporters, the most

:06:01. > :06:05.important thing is he project strength and never apologises. If he

:06:06. > :06:10.is being criticised from outside, they would see that at the weakness

:06:11. > :06:14.of the people criticising him rather den the strength of him standing up

:06:15. > :06:19.for their rights. I don't see how this damages him. This guy has said

:06:20. > :06:27.President Putin likes him and thinks he is very, and that has been to his

:06:28. > :06:31.benefit, so I do not think what is debated in Parliament will make a

:06:32. > :06:36.difference. What will make a difference is what happens in Iowa.

:06:37. > :06:42.We are getting close, how is it looking for him? You only have to

:06:43. > :06:48.look at the town of recent Republican exchanges to see he is

:06:49. > :06:51.feeling the pinch of centre Ted Cruz from Texas who has a strong

:06:52. > :06:57.following among Christian evangelical voters. If I what we'll

:06:58. > :07:03.do what it has done traditionally in these caucuses and turn to the most

:07:04. > :07:08.evangelical candidate, they are likely to swing towards Ted Cruz.

:07:09. > :07:14.Donald Trump is getting a massive amount of airtime, twice that of

:07:15. > :07:20.Hillary Clinton, outstripping his own Republican competitors, so he is

:07:21. > :07:25.feeling good, but it will be interesting to see which way I award

:07:26. > :07:30.goes. Thank you, Katie, live from the world new studio in America.

:07:31. > :07:33.We'll have more from Donald Trump's speech today in

:07:34. > :07:38.Now, the UK Government wants some Muslim women who come more

:07:39. > :07:45.And it's putting money behind this - ?20 million to be

:07:46. > :07:49.spent encouraging Muslim women living in the UK to learn English.

:07:50. > :07:52.Added to this is the threat that a failure to learn English

:07:53. > :08:02.According to the government, 22% of Muslim women speak

:08:03. > :08:04.little or no English - other estimates put

:08:05. > :08:13.Rob Watson explained what was behind this push by the UK Government.

:08:14. > :08:21.You have to see this in the wider context of a debate in this country,

:08:22. > :08:27.as in other European countries with significant Muslim populations,

:08:28. > :08:31.about multiculturalism. How do we all get along in the UK? How do

:08:32. > :08:41.various faiths and cultures that are long? Since 9/11 and the attacks

:08:42. > :08:46.here in 2005, British politicians have decided the past approach,

:08:47. > :08:52.multiculturalism of people living separate lives which interchange

:08:53. > :08:57.every so often does not really work, and David Cameron has made several

:08:58. > :09:03.big speeches on this front. In many ways this speech suffered from the

:09:04. > :09:09.problems he has had on this. There is sympathy with the idea of

:09:10. > :09:14.re-examining multiculturalism but these particular initiatives,

:09:15. > :09:17.whether learning English or other things, put up the hackles of a lot

:09:18. > :09:24.of people in the Muslim community, often seen as the government picking

:09:25. > :09:30.on them, so that is what this story is, an attempt to re-evaluate, to

:09:31. > :09:35.redo multiculturalism, to go down a different path, but so far the

:09:36. > :09:41.authorities has not figured out a way to do that without upsetting

:09:42. > :09:45.Muslims. Someone watching has just messaged me to ask when Parliament

:09:46. > :09:53.will make a decision on whether to allow Donald Trump access? The MPs

:09:54. > :09:57.we saw did not have the power to ban him, that he longs to the Home

:09:58. > :10:02.Secretary, and in any case they didn't support it anyway. Theresa

:10:03. > :10:07.May is not going to take action on that, there is no possibility of

:10:08. > :10:09.Donald from being banned from the UK.

:10:10. > :10:12.A man's been arrested in Morocco in connection

:10:13. > :10:18.We're being told he's Belgian that he was arrested in Mohammedia

:10:19. > :10:31.BBC Arabic's Mousa Ba has been helping me with this.

:10:32. > :10:39.He had direct links with the Paris attacks are traitors and travelled

:10:40. > :10:46.to Syria and he had strong links with Daesh commander 's and as well

:10:47. > :10:51.with a man believed to be the ringleader of the Paris attacks. We

:10:52. > :10:56.don't know a lot of information about this man, we know Moroccan

:10:57. > :11:00.authorities have been looking in the past three or four months for any

:11:01. > :11:04.bulge citizens of Moroccan origin coming through its borders and has

:11:05. > :11:11.published the pictures of people says acted to have participated in

:11:12. > :11:17.the Paris attacks, and finally it has arrested this man. And this

:11:18. > :11:21.place where he was arrested, does it have a history of radical Islam? No,

:11:22. > :11:30.it is a port city, people go during the summer to enjoy

:11:31. > :11:36.the beaches, but in in Morocco. This city does not have

:11:37. > :11:45.any particular significance. heard this phrase that there are

:11:46. > :11:50.links between him and the Paris attackers, but what does the word

:11:51. > :11:54.link mean? The obvious link between Paris attackers is that many of them

:11:55. > :12:02.Moroccan origin, many Belgium or used to, and many

:12:03. > :12:07.travelled to Syria, so this is the obvious link but beyond that,

:12:08. > :12:12.through the statement we don't know much except his initials and that he

:12:13. > :12:19.had strong links with a man believed to be the ringleader. In a few

:12:20. > :12:25.minutes we will get into of sanctions against Iran. Much of

:12:26. > :12:30.this happened over the weekend and we are not so much concentrating on

:12:31. > :12:32.the back to the business as small business, in particular in one city

:12:33. > :12:37.in Afghanistan. Britain's steel industry

:12:38. > :12:38.suffered a blow today, as Tata announced the loss of more

:12:39. > :12:41.than a thousand jobs, Formed in furnaces that never cool,

:12:42. > :12:50.steel has been Port Talbot's Every job here is thought to support

:12:51. > :13:05.four others in the community. The cuts will come across the board

:13:06. > :13:08.with no guarantees that they will help secure the plans

:13:09. > :13:10.long-term future. No, I couldn't say that

:13:11. > :13:12.for a moment, in terms of where the European industry

:13:13. > :13:17.is at this point in time, Pressure on the industry resonates

:13:18. > :13:21.through every little business here. Suppliers, hotels, cafes,

:13:22. > :13:22.everyone is feeling it. I think it's going to

:13:23. > :13:24.devastate the area. It's going to really

:13:25. > :13:26.kill it, basically. It is going to affect us,

:13:27. > :13:29.the whole of Port Talbot. 750 people then do not have that

:13:30. > :13:41.money to spend within the town But for workers here,

:13:42. > :13:43.it's hard to see much hope Our lead story is: British MPs have

:13:44. > :13:52.been debating whether Donald Trump should be banned from entering

:13:53. > :13:55.the UK because of his And if you bring some of the main

:13:56. > :14:06.stories from BBC World Service. has been killed by a mortar that

:14:07. > :14:11.appears to have come Last week we reported on food aid

:14:12. > :14:16.reaching the Syrian town of Madaya. And this aid didn't arrive

:14:17. > :14:19.soon enough for some. The UN says five more people

:14:20. > :14:23.have starved to death. This is a video which for the first

:14:24. > :14:32.time shows us the damage done by fire last year to a stately home

:14:33. > :14:34.in England. Parts of Clandon Park

:14:35. > :14:36.will be restored. You can see the video

:14:37. > :14:38.on the BBC News App. A joint investigation by the BBC

:14:39. > :14:41.and Buzzfeed has exposed evidence of widespread suspected match-fixing

:14:42. > :14:45.at the top level of world tennis, Over the last decade,

:14:46. > :14:49.16 players who have ranked in the top 50 have been repeatedly

:14:50. > :14:53.reported over suspicions All of the players, including

:14:54. > :14:58.winners of Grand Slam titles, Our sports correspondent,

:14:59. > :15:07.Richard Conway, reports. The first Tennis Grand Slam

:15:08. > :15:10.of 2016 is under way, but allegations of match fixing

:15:11. > :15:16.combined with claims authorities failed to act, have

:15:17. > :15:18.raised questions over Over the past decade,

:15:19. > :15:22.16 players who have ranked in the top 50 are said to have been

:15:23. > :15:25.repeatedly reported due to suspicions they

:15:26. > :15:28.have thrown games. All of the players, including

:15:29. > :15:31.winners of Grand Slam titles, From the list that we had

:15:32. > :15:37.compiled from our sources, we know that there are at least

:15:38. > :15:41.eight players in the Australian Open who have been repeatedly flagged

:15:42. > :15:44.to the Tennis Integrity Unit. Those in charge of the sport

:15:45. > :15:48.deny culpability. The Tennis Integrity Unit and tennis

:15:49. > :15:54.authorities absolutely reject any suggestion that evidence of match

:15:55. > :15:59.fixing has been suppressed for any reason, or is not being

:16:00. > :16:04.thoroughly investigated. While the BBC and Buzzfeed reports

:16:05. > :16:09.mainly refer to events of ten years ago, we will investigate

:16:10. > :16:15.any new information. The BBC and Buzzfeed have obtained

:16:16. > :16:19.documents from tennis insiders. They identify a series of betting

:16:20. > :16:23.syndicates linked to players. A Russian group who bet

:16:24. > :16:26.on five suspicious matches A north Italian group placed bets

:16:27. > :16:34.on 28 matches and won ?650,000. A Sicilian syndicate bet on 12

:16:35. > :16:39.matches including three at Wimbledon This syndicate targeted Wimbledon

:16:40. > :16:48.more than any other Grand Slam. The men's world number one has

:16:49. > :16:52.played down concerns over fixing at the very top level of tennis,

:16:53. > :16:56.but admits he was approached I was approached through,

:16:57. > :17:05.I mean, me personally, through people that were working

:17:06. > :17:09.with me at that time, And of course we threw

:17:10. > :17:18.it away right away. The tennis authorities insist

:17:19. > :17:23.they have a zero tolerance approach to match fixing but these latest

:17:24. > :17:26.allegations will serve as a reminder of the need for constant vigilance

:17:27. > :17:29.against those trying to corrupt Some of the international sanctions

:17:30. > :17:48.against Iran were lifted at the weekend, in return for Iran

:17:49. > :17:53.restricting its nuclear programme. There has been talk about how this

:17:54. > :18:00.will affect big global businesses. But in fact thousands of small

:18:01. > :18:02.businesses Here's one example,

:18:03. > :18:18.Herat in Afghanistan. This was once a staging post on one

:18:19. > :18:22.of the greatest trade routes of the world, the silk Road between China

:18:23. > :18:30.and Europe. Iran is less than 100 miles away and its influence is

:18:31. > :18:37.everywhere here. This is a rainy and? What about this stuff? What

:18:38. > :18:42.about the soap? This is Afghan. So some products are from Afghanistan

:18:43. > :18:48.but all this competition makes it difficult for Afghan manufacturers,

:18:49. > :18:50.the other side of the coin it is great for consumers because

:18:51. > :18:56.competition tends to mean lower prices. The whole world is already

:18:57. > :19:02.feeling the effect of new competition from Iran. Fuel prices

:19:03. > :19:07.are falling in anticipation of Iran opening the taps on its vast

:19:08. > :19:12.supplies of oil. Many business people say they relished the

:19:13. > :19:15.challenge of Iranian competition. TRANSLATION: The most important

:19:16. > :19:23.thing is we will be able to transfer money via the banks, which will make

:19:24. > :19:26.it easier to buy a goods, but more importantly I hope it will make

:19:27. > :19:31.Afghanistan a transit point for trade with other countries. Perhaps

:19:32. > :19:36.that would make what used to be known as the Imperial Road a bit

:19:37. > :19:41.more imperious because trade across the entire region is expected to

:19:42. > :19:45.pick up now. The commander at the border says the workforce will

:19:46. > :19:51.trouble to 6000, which means they will not want to join the Taliban,

:19:52. > :19:56.evidence of how closely intertwined economics and politics can be. That

:19:57. > :20:04.is a key part of the rationale of lifting sanctions. Two years ago

:20:05. > :20:08.Iran was a pariah state. The hope is nothing at more closely into the

:20:09. > :20:12.economics and politics of this troubled region could be a powerful

:20:13. > :20:16.force for stability and a potential benefit for us all.

:20:17. > :20:20.which compiles the music charts in the US.

:20:21. > :20:21.David Bowie's final album, Blackstar,

:20:22. > :20:28.It's the first time a Bowie album has reached number one in the US.

:20:29. > :20:41.19 of his albums made it into the UK charts last week.

:20:42. > :20:43.You can see the most recent one at the top.

:20:44. > :20:49.At one point 25% of the top 40 were Bowie albums.

:20:54. > :20:57.Beaver below him. The charity Oxfam has been sifting

:20:58. > :21:00.through data from the bank Credit Suisse, and the headline

:21:01. > :21:03.statistic it's come out with is that the richest 1% have

:21:04. > :21:06.as much as the rest of us. Oxfam's point here is

:21:07. > :21:09.to highlight inequality. But some argue we need to unpack

:21:10. > :21:28.these figures According to Oxfam's latest report,

:21:29. > :21:34.62 people have more wealth than half the world's population. And the

:21:35. > :21:40.richest 1% own as much as the rest of the world combined. But question

:21:41. > :21:44.marks have been raised over how Oxfam determines wealth and poverty.

:21:45. > :21:49.The way it is looked at in this report is that the poorest people

:21:50. > :21:54.are those who have MoD depth the assets, so a recent University

:21:55. > :21:59.graduate in a rich country is defined as one of the world's

:22:00. > :22:04.poorest. Others say the trend for income of quality between countries

:22:05. > :22:11.is increasing as developing countries become richer. It is

:22:12. > :22:14.rising with in some countries, especially the US and UK, where the

:22:15. > :22:19.trend is for the income share of the rich to increase, and what to Oxfam

:22:20. > :22:25.link needs to be done about the inequality gap? A crackdown on tax

:22:26. > :22:28.evasion. According to them their super-rich has stashed trillions of

:22:29. > :22:41.dollars in offshore accounts. Next, a report by Fergus Walsh about

:22:42. > :22:49.multiple sclerosis and a new treatment being trialled in the UK,

:22:50. > :23:09.which has led to remarkable results for patients. MS is

:23:10. > :23:12.Louise has undergone chemotherapy to destroy her faulty immune system,

:23:13. > :23:14.and now bone marrow stem cells taken from her blood

:23:15. > :23:35.We are using the stem cells as building blocks to rekindle

:23:36. > :23:39.Stephen has also had the stem cell transplant,

:23:40. > :23:45.After months of physiotherapy, he is walking again.

:23:46. > :24:04.The transplants at the Royal Hallamshire in Sheffield could help

:24:05. > :24:08.periodic attacks, known as relapsing-remitting MS.

:24:09. > :24:17.Another goal achieved for Stephen - to ride a bike.

:24:18. > :24:29.Not a cure but this treatment is transforming lives.

:24:30. > :24:36.If you would like to see that report again or share it with a friend or

:24:37. > :24:38.family, you can find it on the BBC News website.

:24:39. > :24:41.The story behind the most watched video on the BBC News website

:24:42. > :24:45.This is all about a SpaceX rocket that put a satellite

:24:46. > :24:51.and then attempted to land safely back on earth.

:24:52. > :24:56.Remember, if this can be done, it revolutionises deliveries

:24:57. > :25:03.to space and massively reduces the cost.

:25:04. > :25:10.And the company would end up being a very successful company.

:25:11. > :25:26.One of the landing legs failed to latch into position.

:25:27. > :25:29.And this is what happened, a huge explosion.

:25:30. > :25:34.Elon Musk tweeted that this was a lot harder to do

:25:35. > :25:46.Won't be last RUD, but am optimistic.

:25:47. > :25:51.He is saying it will not be the last time we will lose one of these
