:00:14. > :00:17.Stories today from Lebanon, El Salvador and Luxemburg.
:00:18. > :00:25.We will start in the UK because David Cameron has been in Parliament
:00:26. > :00:31.defending those proposed reforms on the UK's relationship with the EU.
:00:32. > :00:34.In the single market come free to travel around Europe, part of the
:00:35. > :00:37.normalisation Bercow operational security and trade can make Britain
:00:38. > :00:45.and its partners safer and more prosperous. Donald Trump was beaten
:00:46. > :00:50.in the caucus on Monday but now Mr Cobb is accusing the cruise campaign
:00:51. > :00:54.of committing voter fraud. We will be live in our newsroom in
:00:55. > :00:58.Washington, DC. A fascinating story about Luxembourg, its Government is
:00:59. > :01:03.taking a leading role in mining asteroids. We will display on what
:01:04. > :01:06.that is and to South Africa because the country's president has agreed
:01:07. > :01:12.to pay back some of the public money that went on this vast private
:01:13. > :01:17.residence that he has. Help on that story from BBC Africa and as you're
:01:18. > :01:20.watching, if your online you can tweet us. All of your questions and
:01:21. > :01:42.comments come straight to me here. Yesterday we got a draft of reforms
:01:43. > :01:45.to the UK bus migration shipped the EU will stop today it was David
:01:46. > :01:52.Cameron's first chance to make his case to Parliament that this is a
:01:53. > :01:57.good deal for the day you could stay in the EU. If we stay Britain will
:01:58. > :02:01.be in the keeping a lid on the budget and protecting our rebate and
:02:02. > :02:04.stripping away unnecessary regulation and seen through the
:02:05. > :02:08.commitments we have secured initially negotiation. In ensuring
:02:09. > :02:12.that Britain truly can have the best of both worlds. In the parts of
:02:13. > :02:16.Europe that work for us and out of those that don't. In the single
:02:17. > :02:20.market, free travel around Europe and part of mobilisation Bercow
:02:21. > :02:24.operational security and trade can make Britain and its partners safer
:02:25. > :02:29.and more prosperous but with guarantees that we will ever be part
:02:30. > :02:32.of the euro, never a big part of Schengen, never be part of a
:02:33. > :02:39.European army and never forced to bail out the Eurozone with our money
:02:40. > :02:43.and never be part of the European superstate. The Prime Minister says
:02:44. > :02:48.he has secured Britain's is Quaison from Schengen, AE you army and be
:02:49. > :02:53.used superstate. The Prime Minister is living in a Neverland, we have
:02:54. > :02:57.never argued for those things and don't intend to. We need to work
:02:58. > :03:03.with our allies in Europe took -- achieve the more progressive reforms
:03:04. > :03:07.people need to build a more democratic Europe that delivers
:03:08. > :03:13.jobs, prosperity and security for all of its people. We must do this
:03:14. > :03:18.together, that is why when the referendum is finally held we will
:03:19. > :03:26.be campaigning to remain a member. I begin by asking the Prime Minister,
:03:27. > :03:30.does he now agrees that once this smoke and mirrors sideshow deal is
:03:31. > :03:36.finally done we will get on with it and end the uncertainty and the
:03:37. > :03:42.referendum will be held on June 23 2016. Let's look at a possible
:03:43. > :03:47.timeline. Mr Cameron will spend the next few weeks lobbying European
:03:48. > :03:51.leaders ahead of the 18th of February, when the European Council
:03:52. > :03:55.next meets in Brussels. That is the council that represents all the
:03:56. > :03:59.leaders of EU members. If there is no agreement then then attention
:04:00. > :04:05.should shift to the next meeting of the European Council on March the
:04:06. > :04:12.17th. Let's assume that there is an agreement. Then the UK Government
:04:13. > :04:17.must give at least 16 weeks notice ahead of this in a referendum Mr
:04:18. > :04:22.Cameron is committed to. That takes us into June 20 16. Jeremy Corbyn
:04:23. > :04:26.refers to one possible date. If there is not an agreement at the
:04:27. > :04:32.European Council meeting in the entire Ford could be delayed to 2017
:04:33. > :04:34.and that gets complicated because we have French and German national
:04:35. > :04:39.elections coming along and the vote must happen before the end of 2017
:04:40. > :04:45.because that is the commitments has made. Chris Mason is alive from
:04:46. > :04:51.Westminster. Listening to those clips of Mr Cameron and the Leader
:04:52. > :04:55.of the Opposition you might get the impression that MPs are supportive
:04:56. > :04:59.of staying in the EU? It is more corrugated than that's? Yes, the
:05:00. > :05:04.British Prime Minister has started a project that will continue all the
:05:05. > :05:08.way to referendum day, whenever that is because we don't yet have a date,
:05:09. > :05:17.but the end of June is looking the most likely. What he is having to do
:05:18. > :05:21.is persuade his sceptics who do not think he has enough out of this
:05:22. > :05:25.renegotiation. The British newspapers this morning, many
:05:26. > :05:29.absolutely scathing. A good number are traditionally very Eurosceptic,
:05:30. > :05:33.not entirely convinced by the UK's position inside the EU, but their
:05:34. > :05:40.language was vicious in suggesting this renegotiated deal he has
:05:41. > :05:46.secured was a delusion and stank, in the words of the sun, the biggest
:05:47. > :05:51.selling paper in Britain. A user might of persuading. David Cameron
:05:52. > :05:59.wants to lead the campaign for the UK to stay in the EU and as things
:06:00. > :06:02.stand, very roughly, because opinion polls are treated more sceptically
:06:03. > :06:06.than one year ago given a surprising general election last year, very
:06:07. > :06:12.roughly around one third are thought to be absolutely for staying in, one
:06:13. > :06:16.third for absolutely coming out at a crucial third in the middle to be
:06:17. > :06:21.thought over, that is what the campaign will be about. Is there
:06:22. > :06:29.wiggle room either for the UK or the 27 other members, or is this
:06:30. > :06:33.proposal reasonably fixed? I lived and worked as a correspondent in
:06:34. > :06:36.Brussels for a couple of years and there is always wriggle room in
:06:37. > :06:41.Brussels. You could probably name a street wriggle room in Brussels,
:06:42. > :06:44.given how much scope there is there because you have 28 countries around
:06:45. > :06:51.the table and the all have their competing interests as different
:06:52. > :06:54.electoral timetable is back home and governments can change colour very
:06:55. > :06:58.quickly, therefore the priorities of individual countries vary. The
:06:59. > :07:03.concern that the British Government will be because at the moment there
:07:04. > :07:07.is this proposed deal, not an actual deal, the danger for them is they
:07:08. > :07:12.slip back and have to make further concessions. Those arguing to leave
:07:13. > :07:17.the EU are highlighting what they see as that being a real danger.
:07:18. > :07:22.There is a flip side, I suspect David Cameron will want to pull a
:07:23. > :07:28.political rabbit out of a hat, something he can say is a headline
:07:29. > :07:31.grabber. A game changer. Don't know what that would be yet, perhaps
:07:32. > :07:39.something to do with sovereignty? Injuring the British Parliament can
:07:40. > :07:45.be absolutely supreme over the EU? How that works without having a
:07:46. > :07:55.clustered -- constitutional chaos is not necessarily straightforward but
:07:56. > :08:00.there is wriggle room. Thank you. From one political story to another,
:08:01. > :08:05.this is really interesting. Donald Trump is accusing Ted Cruz's
:08:06. > :08:09.campaign of fraud. Remember crews pushed into second place in the Iowa
:08:10. > :08:11.caucus. I don't have time to read you everything he has posted, let's
:08:12. > :08:31.deal with three. He follows that with a demand the
:08:32. > :08:35.state of Iowa should disqualify him. And just in case you thought he was
:08:36. > :08:45.not pulling any punches, he goes on to say: This is a letter from the
:08:46. > :08:51.cruise campaign telling people entering the caucuses that this is
:08:52. > :08:52.the press reporting Ben Carson, one of the candidates in the race for
:08:53. > :09:09.the White House, is taking time off. Very interesting. That was not true,
:09:10. > :09:14.then Carson is very much still in the race. Let's go live to
:09:15. > :09:20.Washington, DC and speak to Jane O'Brien for the BBC. All very
:09:21. > :09:24.intriguing. What does dead crews say -- Ted Cruz say? Be said it's not
:09:25. > :09:29.about fraud but simply that tech then Carson was going on to Florida,
:09:30. > :09:33.according to a news story. And that his campaign staff were acting on
:09:34. > :09:40.that and he has apologised for them and says the entire idea that there
:09:41. > :09:44.should be recount or that it was fraud is essentially total nonsense.
:09:45. > :09:50.I think, more importantly, who are we speaking about just now? It's not
:09:51. > :09:55.Ted Cruz, the man who actually won in either well, it's the man who
:09:56. > :10:00.barely came second, Donald can. This is really what it is all about.
:10:01. > :10:05.Donald -- Donald Trump accuses him of stealing the election, but Donald
:10:06. > :10:10.Trump has effectively, yet again, stolen the show. In terms of PR
:10:11. > :10:13.perhaps Donald Trump has a march on Ted Cruz and in terms of the
:10:14. > :10:17.authorities, would they look at this? Might it have broken the
:10:18. > :10:22.rules? I don't think it did break the rules. It is means --
:10:23. > :10:31.misinformation at best. Basically what happened is that when Ben
:10:32. > :10:35.Carson said he was suspending his campaign, that information did get
:10:36. > :10:41.passed on. But it was a fact that at that point there were a news stories
:10:42. > :10:46.saying he was going to Florida and that he was not going to be at the
:10:47. > :10:49.caucus. Technically they were correct, although the way they
:10:50. > :10:54.presented the information could be clearly seen as misleading. Whether
:10:55. > :11:00.it would have made much difference to the end result, we want to know.
:11:01. > :11:04.Again, most of the candidates are looking to New Hampshire, where
:11:05. > :11:09.Donald Trump has a commanding lead, and if he performs to expectations
:11:10. > :11:14.he should handily win New Hampshire. It is interesting that he has
:11:15. > :11:20.decided right now to start calling foul instead of really consolidating
:11:21. > :11:24.his position where he stands a very good chance next week. Rarely a dull
:11:25. > :11:32.moment in this campaign. Thank you. We appreciate the update. Our next
:11:33. > :11:37.story is from not very far from Washington. President Obama visited
:11:38. > :11:43.a mosque today, the first time he has done that in the US since he
:11:44. > :11:49.became president. The police he went was the Islamic Society of Baltimore
:11:50. > :11:56.in Maryland. Baltimore and Washington are not far apart. Here's
:11:57. > :12:00.the introduction. And now, it is my honour to introduce to you the
:12:01. > :12:06.president, our president, of the USA, President of Barack Obama.
:12:07. > :12:10.First I want to say two words that most Americans don't hear often
:12:11. > :12:14.enough, thank you. Thank you for serving your community, thank you
:12:15. > :12:17.for looking up the lives of your neighbours and for helping keep us
:12:18. > :12:26.strong and united as one American family. We are grateful for that.
:12:27. > :12:30.APPLAUSE Let's add some context. It's
:12:31. > :12:35.estimated there are 3.3 million Muslims living in the US and I
:12:36. > :12:39.wanted to show you this, it marked the number of attacks on mosques in
:12:40. > :12:42.America this year. The thing I want to draw attention to is this, a
:12:43. > :12:46.spike in the number of attacks in November, thought to be connected to
:12:47. > :12:51.the Paris attacks. This is based on data from the council on American
:12:52. > :12:57.Islamic relations and it says there has not been as many attacks since
:12:58. > :13:04.2010. We were in Baltimore with the president. This is the first time
:13:05. > :13:08.President Obama has visited an American mosque. The Islamic Society
:13:09. > :13:12.of Baltimore. He has done so because he feels American Muslims need to be
:13:13. > :13:15.reassured, given the current climate, and they have been lobbying
:13:16. > :13:19.for a visit like this. Because of the rise in anti-Muslim feeling
:13:20. > :13:22.after recent attacks because of the rise in anti-Moslem rhetoric on the
:13:23. > :13:28.presidential campaign trail, so this was meant to be a symbolic show of
:13:29. > :13:33.solidarity with American Muslims and a pushback against that sort of
:13:34. > :13:37.thing. President Obama and rebuke what he called inexcusable political
:13:38. > :13:41.rhetoric against Muslim Americans and he made an appeal for religious
:13:42. > :13:46.tolerance and said buyers and stereotyping must be confronted and
:13:47. > :13:48.also repeatedly spoke about how Muslim Americans are fellow
:13:49. > :13:52.Americans who are part of the country and have contributed to it
:13:53. > :13:57.and should not feel that they are made to be outsiders. Thank you. In
:13:58. > :14:01.a few moments we will turn to the story that has cost my imagination
:14:02. > :14:07.more than any other today. We will explain why Luxembourg is investing
:14:08. > :14:14.heavily in the prospect of mining asteroids. More on that in a moment.
:14:15. > :14:23.The only sign of the infamous British aristocrat Lord Lucan is
:14:24. > :14:27.being guarded a death certificate for his father more than 40 years
:14:28. > :14:31.after the dispute following the murder of his children's nanny. His
:14:32. > :14:39.son to journalists outside the High Court after the ruling. The most
:14:40. > :14:44.bizarre range of theories, some of them reasonably tasteless. My
:14:45. > :14:53.personal view, one I took as an eight-year-old, is that he has been
:14:54. > :14:58.dead since that time. I would think in these circumstances it is
:14:59. > :15:02.possible he saw his life at an end, regardless of guilt or otherwise of
:15:03. > :15:05.being dragged through the courts, it would have destroyed his personal
:15:06. > :15:11.life, career and chances of getting custody of his children back. It
:15:12. > :15:20.might well have pushed a man to end his own life. But I have no idea.
:15:21. > :15:28.Welcomed outside source and the BBC newsroom. Let's look at our lead
:15:29. > :15:33.stories. David Cameron is defending his EU reform deal. The deal has
:15:34. > :15:39.been Greste size by some MPs, including some in his own party. It
:15:40. > :15:42.can bring you some of the stories from the BBC World Service. First,
:15:43. > :15:48.let's go to China because tens of thousands of rail travellers,
:15:49. > :15:51.incredible scenes, they were stranded in the station and have
:15:52. > :15:57.finally managed to get on the move. Problems were caused by snow, but
:15:58. > :16:02.extra services have been laid on and people are getting home head of
:16:03. > :16:06.celebrations for the lunar New Year. BBC Somali has this footage inside
:16:07. > :16:11.an aeroplane after a large hall appeared in its these lies. Has to
:16:12. > :16:15.say they heard a bang just after take-off, despite this deeply
:16:16. > :16:18.managed to land. There were worrying reports of one person being sucked
:16:19. > :16:22.out of the airline says all passengers were accounted for.
:16:23. > :16:26.Thousands of you have been watching this video of a cyclist being
:16:27. > :16:34.knocked off by this, that happened in Nottingham. The police have been
:16:35. > :16:37.of little -- unable to approve -- to confirm who the driver was, even
:16:38. > :16:42.though the number plate was clearly available. As I mentioned,
:16:43. > :16:46.Luxembourg has announced its intention to support the mining of
:16:47. > :16:53.asteroids. You heard that right, the mining of asteroids. This is a small
:16:54. > :16:56.nation in Europe and I was unaware until today that it had a prominent
:16:57. > :17:00.position in the space industry, but it does and its next move is to try
:17:01. > :17:08.and become a hub for space mining companies. The reasoning is because
:17:09. > :17:13.of platinum group metals. Chinaman itself including palladium and
:17:14. > :17:21.iridium. All of them are rare on earth and are worth an awful lot. I
:17:22. > :17:26.spoke to Jonathan Amos to find out if people have mind asteroids
:17:27. > :17:29.before? No, but we have been to asteroids and we have collected
:17:30. > :17:33.little bits of material off the surface and we have brought it back
:17:34. > :17:39.to Earth. The basic technologies for mining in space has improved in that
:17:40. > :17:42.sense, we just need to scale it up and there are American companies
:17:43. > :17:48.that are looking at doing this and Luxembourg have thought, hang on, we
:17:49. > :17:52.want want Europe to lose -- we don't want Europe to lose out, we want in.
:17:53. > :17:58.The things they get from the asteroids must be hugely valuable to
:17:59. > :18:04.justify the costs? Absolutely. The cost to dollar per kilogram is
:18:05. > :18:07.enormous for platinum group metals. They tend to sink towards the centre
:18:08. > :18:11.of the Earth on our planet because they get is dissolved in Malton
:18:12. > :18:15.irony and the iron has gone to the centre, but if you go to some
:18:16. > :18:20.asteroids, the abundances are much greater and that means you don't
:18:21. > :18:24.need to bring back on off a lot of material to be able to put it on the
:18:25. > :18:28.international markets and burn a tidy sum. The question is, can you
:18:29. > :18:32.do it in a way that brings enough back to cover the costs of launching
:18:33. > :18:37.what would be a very expensive respecting mission. Why are the
:18:38. > :18:43.metals and so expensive? What we do was to get them back? Just open your
:18:44. > :18:46.smartphones, they are all in there, everyone driving a car has probably
:18:47. > :18:50.got a little platinum in the back, it is part of the cashless cleaning
:18:51. > :18:55.the emissions. Everything in industrial society now has got a
:18:56. > :18:58.little nod towards some of these materials and they are out there.
:18:59. > :19:04.It's just a question of someone having the gall to go and get them.
:19:05. > :19:06.There are some legal issues to get through, the framework needs to be
:19:07. > :19:10.put in place, Luxembourg says it will do that. It wants the
:19:11. > :19:14.entrepreneurs take the risk but says it has funds to invest in our
:19:15. > :19:19.industry and even some of the companies if they come at a site
:19:20. > :19:24.themselves in Luxembourg. Let's assume all of this goes very well,
:19:25. > :19:29.what is the timescale? How soon might this be happening? Crystal
:19:30. > :19:33.ball stuff, I think we will see some demonstrations probably in the next
:19:34. > :19:38.ten years, but it is quite a time into the future before we have
:19:39. > :19:42.mining colonies on a large rock parsing errors. Intriguing. More in
:19:43. > :19:48.the science section of the BBC News website. Time for a business. Let's
:19:49. > :19:51.start off by learning about the biggest foreign acquisition ever
:19:52. > :20:05.made by a Chinese company. A Chinese firm owned by the state is buying
:20:06. > :20:09.seen gent -- Syngenta. This is a sign of how China's corporations are
:20:10. > :20:13.flexing their muscles on a global 's Gale despite the talk of their
:20:14. > :20:19.economy cooling. This company is the largest chemicals firm in China, it
:20:20. > :20:24.has a key mandate amongst a wide range of things involved in but part
:20:25. > :20:29.of it involves pesticides and it's cheap mandate is to improve the
:20:30. > :20:34.protection of Chinese crocs. Ayes chief mandate. Many expect that is
:20:35. > :20:40.why it is so interested in buying this Swiss firm, essentially because
:20:41. > :20:45.it's a company that is big in a page is protected scenes and this would
:20:46. > :20:48.be a potentially good wheel and that -- good deal and a good way for
:20:49. > :20:53.tired to sustain its fruit sauce going forward. As do the inevitably
:20:54. > :20:57.have a competitive advantage because they have the might of the Chinese
:20:58. > :21:04.State behind them? Security will definitely be a concern in this
:21:05. > :21:08.deal. If you look at it, the more cynical people are worrying about
:21:09. > :21:12.what it means that perhaps the company is using this as a way to
:21:13. > :21:18.get a foothold in the US, because seen gent -- Syngenta, which an
:21:19. > :21:23.American firm had tried to buy and failed, is also a good -- big player
:21:24. > :21:27.in the US in terms of pesticides and seeds and there is some concern
:21:28. > :21:31.about what security of poses, the fact it would control these patents,
:21:32. > :21:37.is the kind of thing that regulators worry about. In terms of the Chinese
:21:38. > :21:42.economy, should we see this as evidence of progress or does the
:21:43. > :21:46.actions of one company not really inform a great deal about the state
:21:47. > :21:51.of the broader economy? It goes back to that point I said about what
:21:52. > :21:55.China is trying to do with his food security. Think about it in terms of
:21:56. > :22:00.this is a country that is growing increasingly prosperous and as many
:22:01. > :22:04.people, to poverty the demand for food is growing, which poses a
:22:05. > :22:09.challenge for the Government, how to improve food security. One way if
:22:10. > :22:13.you look at a company like this, if it's able to buy more sophisticated
