:02:40. > :02:48.dropping out of the Fox debate. Mr Trump is scared. But I would ask
:02:49. > :02:59.that he would at least show respect. This race is a dead heat
:03:00. > :03:02.between Donald and me - we are effectively tied
:03:03. > :03:04.in the state of Iowa. If he is unwilling to stand
:03:05. > :03:07.on the debate stage with the other candidates, I would like to invite

:03:11. > :03:14.any time between now Mr Trump has not taken him up on
:03:15. > :03:29.that yet. All of this falls into a broader
:03:30. > :03:32.pattern for Donald Trump - he believes he delivers big
:03:33. > :03:34.audiences for the TV networks. In December 2011,
:03:35. > :03:37.a Republican primary that was the most watched
:03:38. > :03:46.debate of the year. On exactly the same day four years
:03:47. > :03:50.later, the Republican presidential debate got an audience
:03:51. > :03:55.of 18 million. That featured Donald Trump and
:03:56. > :04:00.others. And that's not even the highest
:04:01. > :04:03.figure for this round of debates. We can debate the reasons why -
:04:04. > :04:21.but Donald Trump thinks it's him. Let's go now to the studios of world
:04:22. > :04:25.News America and Katty Kay. Let's assume Donald Trump does everything
:04:26. > :04:31.for a reason. Why would he calculate this is a good move? Congratulations
:04:32. > :04:35.on making it through half a programme without mentioning Donald
:04:36. > :04:39.Trump, but you lose points because you played that clip with him
:04:40. > :04:47.talking about Megyn Kelly and blood, which I was hoping I would never
:04:48. > :04:51.hear again. The way this plays out, probably Fox loses ratings, and
:04:52. > :04:56.Donald Trump probably knows that. In his statement he said, these debates
:04:57. > :05:01.make tens of millions of dollars for Fox News. Coming from Donald Trump,
:05:02. > :05:06.you would think he would think that was a good thing. He clearly feels
:05:07. > :05:12.Fox isn't as big as Donald companies. I can't see him taking
:05:13. > :05:18.Ted Cruz up on his offer to debate one-on-one. Why risk the possibility
:05:19. > :05:23.of losing voters by saying something he doesn't like during the course of
:05:24. > :05:33.the debate, or not winning it? I score this Trump 1, Fox News 0. But
:05:34. > :05:38.I could understand it if he was boycotting CNN, but why Fox? That is
:05:39. > :05:45.assuming that the Republican party is united, and it's not. It is a
:05:46. > :05:48.whole group of different tribes that have come together under the name
:05:49. > :05:53.the Republican party, but they hate each other almost as much as they
:05:54. > :05:58.hate Democrats. There is such a long rivalry between Donald Trump and Fox
:05:59. > :06:03.News, the tick silly over this infighting with Megyn Kelly and
:06:04. > :06:09.whether she is fair on him or not. -- particularly over. That is where
:06:10. > :06:13.this stems from. You would think it was on the same side, but nothing is
:06:14. > :06:19.as it should be in this election campaign, and that is a reflection
:06:20. > :06:24.of the civil war going on inside the Republican party. Another surprise
:06:25. > :06:27.is that Bernie Saunders is proving himself a strong contender for the
:06:28. > :06:32.Democratic nomination. He has been to the White House today. How did
:06:33. > :06:37.that come about? He went to the White House after President Clinton
:06:38. > :06:43.gave an interview with a political website in America, where he didn't
:06:44. > :06:51.endorse military -- Hillary Clinton, but he said she was wicked smart.
:06:52. > :06:56.Hillary Clinton has suggested that President Obama was on her side.
:06:57. > :07:02.Bernie Sanders has taken objection to that. He thinks the president
:07:03. > :07:08.should be neutral. For all of Bernie Sanders' supporters in Iowa, even
:07:09. > :07:12.the picture of him standing outside the White House having just spoken
:07:13. > :07:16.to the President looks presidential. He took time out of the campaign
:07:17. > :07:21.trail. He said that President Obama had been very fair and has been
:07:22. > :07:26.neutral in this race, and he respects the way the president has
:07:27. > :07:31.handled this. I think that is all that Bernie Sanders could have hoped
:07:32. > :07:36.for, and I think it will play well for him in Iowa. Thank you Katty

:08:23. > :08:28.his semifinal, but he's never had company at this stage by a fellow
:08:29. > :08:35.Brit. And Johanna Konta has taken everybody by surprise. We talked
:08:36. > :08:40.about her 24 hours ago. She won in straight sets. She is into her first
:08:41. > :08:46.Grand Slams semifinal, keeping Andy Murray company. She has the seventh
:08:47. > :08:51.seed in the next few hours, due on court in the next five or six hours
:08:52. > :08:56.in Melbourne. She's so happy to be there. She's very bubbly. She's got
:08:57. > :09:01.a great personality and she is loving every round of her time in
:09:02. > :09:08.Melbourne. She's gone an awful long way. Two Brits into the last four
:09:09. > :09:13.for the first time in 39 years. It has really taken some of the heat
:09:14. > :09:19.off Andy Murray. Expected to get through his Friday semifinal and
:09:20. > :09:25.into the final. Johanna Konta really is the story as far as the British
:09:26. > :09:29.perspective is concerned. We are paying close attention to those
:09:30. > :09:36.matches, but it is inevitable they will be overshadowed by the men's
:09:37. > :09:40.semi that is coming up. They have pretty much sewn up the Australian
:09:41. > :09:45.Open in the last 10-year. Only two other men have actually won it. Only
:09:46. > :09:50.Djokovic and Federer. We look forward to this last time. 45 times
:09:51. > :09:57.they will have met by the time they get to this semifinal. It stands at
:09:58. > :10:03.22 all, 27 Grand Slam titles between them. Ethical to know which way it
:10:04. > :10:09.is going to go. The public will be willing Federer to come good again,
:10:10. > :10:13.because he hasn't won a Grand Slam in 3.5 years now. Djokovic is
:10:14. > :10:18.looking for a sixth title in Melbourne and is clearly the

:19:05. > :19:09.identified only by her first name, Lisa, on her way to school. She
:19:10. > :19:14.reappeared a day later and she reported to police that she had been
:19:15. > :19:19.abducted and raped by a group of migrant men. Police questioned her
:19:20. > :19:24.and carried out an examination, and said that the facts didn't stack up.
:19:25. > :19:29.They said there had been evidence of sexual activity, but they said it
:19:30. > :19:35.was voluntary. They cannot speak of con sexual sex because she is under
:19:36. > :19:39.age. Police now speak of child abuse. Russian speakers in Germany
:19:40. > :19:43.don't believe what the police are saying. They accuse authorities here
:19:44. > :19:48.of a cover-up, and say the police are trying to protect the migrants,
:19:49. > :19:52.but there is no evidence that migrants actually carried out this
:19:53. > :19:56.child abuse. The police are saying it is a case of child abuse, and
:19:57. > :20:00.that is what they are investigating for, but Russian speakers are not
:20:01. > :20:05.believing them. It isn't the protesters accusing the German
:20:06. > :20:11.government of a cover-up. The Russian government is getting
:20:12. > :20:16.involved as well? That's right. We heard a press conference in Moscow,
:20:17. > :20:21.and there was an accusation that the German authorities are covering up
:20:22. > :20:27.the attack. He said, we should hope that other events like what happened
:20:28. > :20:31.to our Lisa, as he put it, should not happen again. He calls on the
:20:32. > :20:36.authorities to sort out what happened. German politicians have
:20:37. > :20:42.reacted with some vigour against these accusations. This story shows
:20:43. > :20:46.how many Russian speakers here in Germany believe more but the Kremlin
:20:47. > :20:51.tells them, and what is on Russian television, rather than what the
:20:52. > :20:55.German media and authorities say. I was going to ask you about the
:20:56. > :21:02.Russian media. You have mentioned the role that it plays in this
:21:03. > :21:06.story. Is it a huge factor? Yes. It was a Russian TV report that sparked
:21:07. > :21:13.off these protests in the first place. A day or two after Lisa
:21:14. > :21:17.reappeared, a Russian journalist interviewed a woman who identified
:21:18. > :21:21.herself as Lisa's aunt, who gave some quite graphic details about
:21:22. > :21:28.what the supposedly migrants had done to the girl. There was some
:21:29. > :21:33.footage in this report, including a video which was supposed to show
:21:34. > :21:38.that migrants like to attack women in Germany. Right now, because of
:21:39. > :21:44.the influx of migrants, it has come out that this footage was six years
:21:45. > :21:49.old. There's a lot of disputed facts about this TV report. The report was
:21:50. > :21:53.spread throughout the Russian speakers here in Germany and in
:21:54. > :21:59.Russia itself. More than 1 million people watched it on Facebook, and
:22:00. > :22:03.this sparked off the protests, which were supported by right-wing
:22:04. > :22:08.extremists and anti-migrant protest is in Germany. There is a long
:22:09. > :22:18.article on that story on the BBC website. I spend a lot of time on
:22:19. > :22:21.the water at home, but I would not be going out in a boat with these
:22:22. > :22:26.two guys. Now it could just be a run
:22:27. > :22:29.of really bad luck - but two yachtsmen have had to call
:22:30. > :22:32.rescue teams for a ninth time The two Americans who are
:22:33. > :22:35.in their seventies set off from Norway last July and are hoping
:22:36. > :22:38.to eventually make it North America. Still smiling, Bob and Steve,
:22:39. > :22:42.two old friends in search of adventure, and what
:22:43. > :22:44.an adventure they have had. They and their boat Nora have been
:22:45. > :22:47.rescued nine times in six months, We have had to call for help,
:22:48. > :22:56.but they have been very helpful to us and they guided us
:22:57. > :22:58.in and they helped us out. The people everywhere are great,
:22:59. > :23:05.I have had so much fun. Well, since setting off last July
:23:06. > :23:09.they have been rescued twice in the North Sea by both
:23:10. > :23:11.the Norwegian and Then on two separate occasions
:23:12. > :23:15.the RNLI's Wick lifeboat came They ran aground near Belfast

:23:20. > :23:23.their boat has tipped over and they have had a fire
:23:24. > :23:27.on board, but the pair say It costs money and potentially put
:23:28. > :23:33.lives at risk for those people who have to come out
:23:34. > :23:35.and help you. You walk out the door and put lives
:23:36. > :23:43.at risk for that reason. At that point another calamity,
:23:44. > :23:52.a broken ladder and damage on deck. You are not capable of managing
:23:53. > :23:54.a ship. Many local people are exasperated
:23:55. > :23:57.by the pair and tonight more criticism from one of the world's
:23:58. > :24:02.most accomplished sailors. It is not fair to all these rescue
:24:03. > :24:05.services to spend a fortune. They will do it, they are duty bound
:24:06. > :24:09.to go to their assistance, but these people have
:24:10. > :24:12.a responsibility not The rescue services are not
:24:13. > :24:18.criticising Bob and Steve directly, but they do say the pair should
:24:19. > :24:21.learn some lessons before sailing High winds and stormy seas mean Nora
:24:22. > :24:29.cannot go anywhere for the next few days and during that time
:24:30. > :24:32.the authorities will check But Steve and Bob say the boat
:24:33. > :24:40.is ready for the long journey home and they insist their own
:24:41. > :24:57.seaworthiness is not an issue. May they travel safely. Thanks for
