Hello, I'm Ros Atkins, this is Outside Source. | :00:08. | :00:13. | |
Stories today from Lebanon, El Salvador and Luxemburg. | :00:14. | :00:17. | |
We will start in the UK because David Cameron has been in Parliament | :00:18. | :00:25. | |
defending those proposed reforms on the UK's relationship with the EU. | :00:26. | :00:31. | |
In the single market come free to travel around Europe, part of the | :00:32. | :00:34. | |
normalisation Bercow operational security and trade can make Britain | :00:35. | :00:37. | |
and its partners safer and more prosperous. Donald Trump was beaten | :00:38. | :00:45. | |
in the caucus on Monday but now Mr Cobb is accusing the cruise campaign | :00:46. | :00:50. | |
of committing voter fraud. We will be live in our newsroom in | :00:51. | :00:54. | |
Washington, DC. A fascinating story about Luxembourg, its Government is | :00:55. | :00:58. | |
taking a leading role in mining asteroids. We will display on what | :00:59. | :01:03. | |
that is and to South Africa because the country's president has agreed | :01:04. | :01:06. | |
to pay back some of the public money that went on this vast private | :01:07. | :01:12. | |
residence that he has. Help on that story from BBC Africa and as you're | :01:13. | :01:17. | |
watching, if your online you can tweet us. All of your questions and | :01:18. | :01:20. | |
comments come straight to me here. Yesterday we got a draft of reforms | :01:21. | :01:42. | |
to the UK bus migration shipped the EU will stop today it was David | :01:43. | :01:45. | |
Cameron's first chance to make his case to Parliament that this is a | :01:46. | :01:52. | |
good deal for the day you could stay in the EU. If we stay Britain will | :01:53. | :01:57. | |
be in the keeping a lid on the budget and protecting our rebate and | :01:58. | :02:01. | |
stripping away unnecessary regulation and seen through the | :02:02. | :02:04. | |
commitments we have secured initially negotiation. In ensuring | :02:05. | :02:08. | |
that Britain truly can have the best of both worlds. In the parts of | :02:09. | :02:12. | |
Europe that work for us and out of those that don't. In the single | :02:13. | :02:16. | |
market, free travel around Europe and part of mobilisation Bercow | :02:17. | :02:20. | |
operational security and trade can make Britain and its partners safer | :02:21. | :02:24. | |
and more prosperous but with guarantees that we will ever be part | :02:25. | :02:29. | |
of the euro, never a big part of Schengen, never be part of a | :02:30. | :02:32. | |
European army and never forced to bail out the Eurozone with our money | :02:33. | :02:39. | |
and never be part of the European superstate. The Prime Minister says | :02:40. | :02:43. | |
he has secured Britain's is Quaison from Schengen, AE you army and be | :02:44. | :02:48. | |
used superstate. The Prime Minister is living in a Neverland, we have | :02:49. | :02:53. | |
never argued for those things and don't intend to. We need to work | :02:54. | :02:57. | |
with our allies in Europe took -- achieve the more progressive reforms | :02:58. | :03:03. | |
people need to build a more democratic Europe that delivers | :03:04. | :03:07. | |
jobs, prosperity and security for all of its people. We must do this | :03:08. | :03:13. | |
together, that is why when the referendum is finally held we will | :03:14. | :03:18. | |
be campaigning to remain a member. I begin by asking the Prime Minister, | :03:19. | :03:26. | |
does he now agrees that once this smoke and mirrors sideshow deal is | :03:27. | :03:30. | |
finally done we will get on with it and end the uncertainty and the | :03:31. | :03:36. | |
referendum will be held on June 23 2016. Let's look at a possible | :03:37. | :03:42. | |
timeline. Mr Cameron will spend the next few weeks lobbying European | :03:43. | :03:47. | |
leaders ahead of the 18th of February, when the European Council | :03:48. | :03:51. | |
next meets in Brussels. That is the council that represents all the | :03:52. | :03:55. | |
leaders of EU members. If there is no agreement then then attention | :03:56. | :03:59. | |
should shift to the next meeting of the European Council on March the | :04:00. | :04:05. | |
17th. Let's assume that there is an agreement. Then the UK Government | :04:06. | :04:12. | |
must give at least 16 weeks notice ahead of this in a referendum Mr | :04:13. | :04:17. | |
Cameron is committed to. That takes us into June 20 16. Jeremy Corbyn | :04:18. | :04:22. | |
refers to one possible date. If there is not an agreement at the | :04:23. | :04:26. | |
European Council meeting in the entire Ford could be delayed to 2017 | :04:27. | :04:32. | |
and that gets complicated because we have French and German national | :04:33. | :04:34. | |
elections coming along and the vote must happen before the end of 2017 | :04:35. | :04:39. | |
because that is the commitments has made. Chris Mason is alive from | :04:40. | :04:45. | |
Westminster. Listening to those clips of Mr Cameron and the Leader | :04:46. | :04:51. | |
of the Opposition you might get the impression that MPs are supportive | :04:52. | :04:55. | |
of staying in the EU? It is more corrugated than that's? Yes, the | :04:56. | :04:59. | |
British Prime Minister has started a project that will continue all the | :05:00. | :05:04. | |
way to referendum day, whenever that is because we don't yet have a date, | :05:05. | :05:08. | |
but the end of June is looking the most likely. What he is having to do | :05:09. | :05:17. | |
is persuade his sceptics who do not think he has enough out of this | :05:18. | :05:21. | |
renegotiation. The British newspapers this morning, many | :05:22. | :05:25. | |
absolutely scathing. A good number are traditionally very Eurosceptic, | :05:26. | :05:29. | |
not entirely convinced by the UK's position inside the EU, but their | :05:30. | :05:33. | |
language was vicious in suggesting this renegotiated deal he has | :05:34. | :05:40. | |
secured was a delusion and stank, in the words of the sun, the biggest | :05:41. | :05:46. | |
selling paper in Britain. A user might of persuading. David Cameron | :05:47. | :05:51. | |
wants to lead the campaign for the UK to stay in the EU and as things | :05:52. | :05:59. | |
stand, very roughly, because opinion polls are treated more sceptically | :06:00. | :06:02. | |
than one year ago given a surprising general election last year, very | :06:03. | :06:06. | |
roughly around one third are thought to be absolutely for staying in, one | :06:07. | :06:12. | |
third for absolutely coming out at a crucial third in the middle to be | :06:13. | :06:16. | |
thought over, that is what the campaign will be about. Is there | :06:17. | :06:21. | |
wiggle room either for the UK or the 27 other members, or is this | :06:22. | :06:29. | |
proposal reasonably fixed? I lived and worked as a correspondent in | :06:30. | :06:33. | |
Brussels for a couple of years and there is always wriggle room in | :06:34. | :06:36. | |
Brussels. You could probably name a street wriggle room in Brussels, | :06:37. | :06:41. | |
given how much scope there is there because you have 28 countries around | :06:42. | :06:44. | |
the table and the all have their competing interests as different | :06:45. | :06:51. | |
electoral timetable is back home and governments can change colour very | :06:52. | :06:54. | |
quickly, therefore the priorities of individual countries vary. The | :06:55. | :06:58. | |
concern that the British Government will be because at the moment there | :06:59. | :07:03. | |
is this proposed deal, not an actual deal, the danger for them is they | :07:04. | :07:07. | |
slip back and have to make further concessions. Those arguing to leave | :07:08. | :07:12. | |
the EU are highlighting what they see as that being a real danger. | :07:13. | :07:17. | |
There is a flip side, I suspect David Cameron will want to pull a | :07:18. | :07:22. | |
political rabbit out of a hat, something he can say is a headline | :07:23. | :07:28. | |
grabber. A game changer. Don't know what that would be yet, perhaps | :07:29. | :07:31. | |
something to do with sovereignty? Injuring the British Parliament can | :07:32. | :07:39. | |
be absolutely supreme over the EU? How that works without having a | :07:40. | :07:45. | |
clustered -- constitutional chaos is not necessarily straightforward but | :07:46. | :07:55. | |
there is wriggle room. Thank you. From one political story to another, | :07:56. | :08:00. | |
this is really interesting. Donald Trump is accusing Ted Cruz's | :08:01. | :08:05. | |
campaign of fraud. Remember crews pushed into second place in the Iowa | :08:06. | :08:09. | |
caucus. I don't have time to read you everything he has posted, let's | :08:10. | :08:11. | |
deal with three. He follows that with a demand the | :08:12. | :08:31. | |
state of Iowa should disqualify him. And just in case you thought he was | :08:32. | :08:35. | |
not pulling any punches, he goes on to say: This is a letter from the | :08:36. | :08:45. | |
cruise campaign telling people entering the caucuses that this is | :08:46. | :08:51. | |
the press reporting Ben Carson, one of the candidates in the race for | :08:52. | :08:52. | |
the White House, is taking time off. Very interesting. That was not true, | :08:53. | :09:09. | |
then Carson is very much still in the race. Let's go live to | :09:10. | :09:14. | |
Washington, DC and speak to Jane O'Brien for the BBC. All very | :09:15. | :09:20. | |
intriguing. What does dead crews say -- Ted Cruz say? Be said it's not | :09:21. | :09:24. | |
about fraud but simply that tech then Carson was going on to Florida, | :09:25. | :09:29. | |
according to a news story. And that his campaign staff were acting on | :09:30. | :09:33. | |
that and he has apologised for them and says the entire idea that there | :09:34. | :09:40. | |
should be recount or that it was fraud is essentially total nonsense. | :09:41. | :09:44. | |
I think, more importantly, who are we speaking about just now? It's not | :09:45. | :09:50. | |
Ted Cruz, the man who actually won in either well, it's the man who | :09:51. | :09:55. | |
barely came second, Donald can. This is really what it is all about. | :09:56. | :10:00. | |
Donald -- Donald Trump accuses him of stealing the election, but Donald | :10:01. | :10:05. | |
Trump has effectively, yet again, stolen the show. In terms of PR | :10:06. | :10:10. | |
perhaps Donald Trump has a march on Ted Cruz and in terms of the | :10:11. | :10:13. | |
authorities, would they look at this? Might it have broken the | :10:14. | :10:17. | |
rules? I don't think it did break the rules. It is means -- | :10:18. | :10:22. | |
misinformation at best. Basically what happened is that when Ben | :10:23. | :10:31. | |
Carson said he was suspending his campaign, that information did get | :10:32. | :10:35. | |
passed on. But it was a fact that at that point there were a news stories | :10:36. | :10:41. | |
saying he was going to Florida and that he was not going to be at the | :10:42. | :10:46. | |
caucus. Technically they were correct, although the way they | :10:47. | :10:49. | |
presented the information could be clearly seen as misleading. Whether | :10:50. | :10:54. | |
it would have made much difference to the end result, we want to know. | :10:55. | :11:00. | |
Again, most of the candidates are looking to New Hampshire, where | :11:01. | :11:04. | |
Donald Trump has a commanding lead, and if he performs to expectations | :11:05. | :11:09. | |
he should handily win New Hampshire. It is interesting that he has | :11:10. | :11:14. | |
decided right now to start calling foul instead of really consolidating | :11:15. | :11:20. | |
his position where he stands a very good chance next week. Rarely a dull | :11:21. | :11:24. | |
moment in this campaign. Thank you. We appreciate the update. Our next | :11:25. | :11:32. | |
story is from not very far from Washington. President Obama visited | :11:33. | :11:37. | |
a mosque today, the first time he has done that in the US since he | :11:38. | :11:43. | |
became president. The police he went was the Islamic Society of Baltimore | :11:44. | :11:49. | |
in Maryland. Baltimore and Washington are not far apart. Here's | :11:50. | :11:56. | |
the introduction. And now, it is my honour to introduce to you the | :11:57. | :12:00. | |
president, our president, of the USA, President of Barack Obama. | :12:01. | :12:06. | |
First I want to say two words that most Americans don't hear often | :12:07. | :12:10. | |
enough, thank you. Thank you for serving your community, thank you | :12:11. | :12:14. | |
for looking up the lives of your neighbours and for helping keep us | :12:15. | :12:17. | |
strong and united as one American family. We are grateful for that. | :12:18. | :12:26. | |
APPLAUSE Let's add some context. It's | :12:27. | :12:30. | |
estimated there are 3.3 million Muslims living in the US and I | :12:31. | :12:35. | |
wanted to show you this, it marked the number of attacks on mosques in | :12:36. | :12:39. | |
America this year. The thing I want to draw attention to is this, a | :12:40. | :12:42. | |
spike in the number of attacks in November, thought to be connected to | :12:43. | :12:46. | |
the Paris attacks. This is based on data from the council on American | :12:47. | :12:51. | |
Islamic relations and it says there has not been as many attacks since | :12:52. | :12:57. | |
2010. We were in Baltimore with the president. This is the first time | :12:58. | :13:04. | |
President Obama has visited an American mosque. The Islamic Society | :13:05. | :13:08. | |
of Baltimore. He has done so because he feels American Muslims need to be | :13:09. | :13:12. | |
reassured, given the current climate, and they have been lobbying | :13:13. | :13:15. | |
for a visit like this. Because of the rise in anti-Muslim feeling | :13:16. | :13:19. | |
after recent attacks because of the rise in anti-Moslem rhetoric on the | :13:20. | :13:22. | |
presidential campaign trail, so this was meant to be a symbolic show of | :13:23. | :13:28. | |
solidarity with American Muslims and a pushback against that sort of | :13:29. | :13:33. | |
thing. President Obama and rebuke what he called inexcusable political | :13:34. | :13:37. | |
rhetoric against Muslim Americans and he made an appeal for religious | :13:38. | :13:41. | |
tolerance and said buyers and stereotyping must be confronted and | :13:42. | :13:46. | |
also repeatedly spoke about how Muslim Americans are fellow | :13:47. | :13:48. | |
Americans who are part of the country and have contributed to it | :13:49. | :13:52. | |
and should not feel that they are made to be outsiders. Thank you. In | :13:53. | :13:57. | |
a few moments we will turn to the story that has cost my imagination | :13:58. | :14:01. | |
more than any other today. We will explain why Luxembourg is investing | :14:02. | :14:07. | |
heavily in the prospect of mining asteroids. More on that in a moment. | :14:08. | :14:14. | |
The only sign of the infamous British aristocrat Lord Lucan is | :14:15. | :14:23. | |
being guarded a death certificate for his father more than 40 years | :14:24. | :14:27. | |
after the dispute following the murder of his children's nanny. His | :14:28. | :14:31. | |
son to journalists outside the High Court after the ruling. The most | :14:32. | :14:39. | |
bizarre range of theories, some of them reasonably tasteless. My | :14:40. | :14:44. | |
personal view, one I took as an eight-year-old, is that he has been | :14:45. | :14:53. | |
dead since that time. I would think in these circumstances it is | :14:54. | :14:58. | |
possible he saw his life at an end, regardless of guilt or otherwise of | :14:59. | :15:02. | |
being dragged through the courts, it would have destroyed his personal | :15:03. | :15:05. | |
life, career and chances of getting custody of his children back. It | :15:06. | :15:11. | |
might well have pushed a man to end his own life. But I have no idea. | :15:12. | :15:20. | |
Welcomed outside source and the BBC newsroom. Let's look at our lead | :15:21. | :15:28. | |
stories. David Cameron is defending his EU reform deal. The deal has | :15:29. | :15:33. | |
been Greste size by some MPs, including some in his own party. It | :15:34. | :15:39. | |
can bring you some of the stories from the BBC World Service. First, | :15:40. | :15:42. | |
let's go to China because tens of thousands of rail travellers, | :15:43. | :15:48. | |
incredible scenes, they were stranded in the station and have | :15:49. | :15:51. | |
finally managed to get on the move. Problems were caused by snow, but | :15:52. | :15:57. | |
extra services have been laid on and people are getting home head of | :15:58. | :16:02. | |
celebrations for the lunar New Year. BBC Somali has this footage inside | :16:03. | :16:06. | |
an aeroplane after a large hall appeared in its these lies. Has to | :16:07. | :16:11. | |
say they heard a bang just after take-off, despite this deeply | :16:12. | :16:15. | |
managed to land. There were worrying reports of one person being sucked | :16:16. | :16:18. | |
out of the airline says all passengers were accounted for. | :16:19. | :16:22. | |
Thousands of you have been watching this video of a cyclist being | :16:23. | :16:26. | |
knocked off by this, that happened in Nottingham. The police have been | :16:27. | :16:34. | |
of little -- unable to approve -- to confirm who the driver was, even | :16:35. | :16:37. | |
though the number plate was clearly available. As I mentioned, | :16:38. | :16:42. | |
Luxembourg has announced its intention to support the mining of | :16:43. | :16:46. | |
asteroids. You heard that right, the mining of asteroids. This is a small | :16:47. | :16:53. | |
nation in Europe and I was unaware until today that it had a prominent | :16:54. | :16:56. | |
position in the space industry, but it does and its next move is to try | :16:57. | :17:00. | |
and become a hub for space mining companies. The reasoning is because | :17:01. | :17:08. | |
of platinum group metals. Chinaman itself including palladium and | :17:09. | :17:13. | |
iridium. All of them are rare on earth and are worth an awful lot. I | :17:14. | :17:21. | |
spoke to Jonathan Amos to find out if people have mind asteroids | :17:22. | :17:26. | |
before? No, but we have been to asteroids and we have collected | :17:27. | :17:29. | |
little bits of material off the surface and we have brought it back | :17:30. | :17:33. | |
to Earth. The basic technologies for mining in space has improved in that | :17:34. | :17:39. | |
sense, we just need to scale it up and there are American companies | :17:40. | :17:42. | |
that are looking at doing this and Luxembourg have thought, hang on, we | :17:43. | :17:48. | |
want want Europe to lose -- we don't want Europe to lose out, we want in. | :17:49. | :17:52. | |
The things they get from the asteroids must be hugely valuable to | :17:53. | :17:58. | |
justify the costs? Absolutely. The cost to dollar per kilogram is | :17:59. | :18:04. | |
enormous for platinum group metals. They tend to sink towards the centre | :18:05. | :18:07. | |
of the Earth on our planet because they get is dissolved in Malton | :18:08. | :18:11. | |
irony and the iron has gone to the centre, but if you go to some | :18:12. | :18:15. | |
asteroids, the abundances are much greater and that means you don't | :18:16. | :18:20. | |
need to bring back on off a lot of material to be able to put it on the | :18:21. | :18:24. | |
international markets and burn a tidy sum. The question is, can you | :18:25. | :18:28. | |
do it in a way that brings enough back to cover the costs of launching | :18:29. | :18:32. | |
what would be a very expensive respecting mission. Why are the | :18:33. | :18:37. | |
metals and so expensive? What we do was to get them back? Just open your | :18:38. | :18:43. | |
smartphones, they are all in there, everyone driving a car has probably | :18:44. | :18:46. | |
got a little platinum in the back, it is part of the cashless cleaning | :18:47. | :18:50. | |
the emissions. Everything in industrial society now has got a | :18:51. | :18:55. | |
little nod towards some of these materials and they are out there. | :18:56. | :18:58. | |
It's just a question of someone having the gall to go and get them. | :18:59. | :19:04. | |
There are some legal issues to get through, the framework needs to be | :19:05. | :19:06. | |
put in place, Luxembourg says it will do that. It wants the | :19:07. | :19:10. | |
entrepreneurs take the risk but says it has funds to invest in our | :19:11. | :19:14. | |
industry and even some of the companies if they come at a site | :19:15. | :19:19. | |
themselves in Luxembourg. Let's assume all of this goes very well, | :19:20. | :19:24. | |
what is the timescale? How soon might this be happening? Crystal | :19:25. | :19:29. | |
ball stuff, I think we will see some demonstrations probably in the next | :19:30. | :19:33. | |
ten years, but it is quite a time into the future before we have | :19:34. | :19:38. | |
mining colonies on a large rock parsing errors. Intriguing. More in | :19:39. | :19:42. | |
the science section of the BBC News website. Time for a business. Let's | :19:43. | :19:48. | |
start off by learning about the biggest foreign acquisition ever | :19:49. | :19:51. | |
made by a Chinese company. A Chinese firm owned by the state is buying | :19:52. | :20:05. | |
seen gent -- Syngenta. This is a sign of how China's corporations are | :20:06. | :20:09. | |
flexing their muscles on a global 's Gale despite the talk of their | :20:10. | :20:13. | |
economy cooling. This company is the largest chemicals firm in China, it | :20:14. | :20:19. | |
has a key mandate amongst a wide range of things involved in but part | :20:20. | :20:24. | |
of it involves pesticides and it's cheap mandate is to improve the | :20:25. | :20:29. | |
protection of Chinese crocs. Ayes chief mandate. Many expect that is | :20:30. | :20:34. | |
why it is so interested in buying this Swiss firm, essentially because | :20:35. | :20:40. | |
it's a company that is big in a page is protected scenes and this would | :20:41. | :20:45. | |
be a potentially good wheel and that -- good deal and a good way for | :20:46. | :20:48. | |
tired to sustain its fruit sauce going forward. As do the inevitably | :20:49. | :20:53. | |
have a competitive advantage because they have the might of the Chinese | :20:54. | :20:57. | |
State behind them? Security will definitely be a concern in this | :20:58. | :21:04. | |
deal. If you look at it, the more cynical people are worrying about | :21:05. | :21:08. | |
what it means that perhaps the company is using this as a way to | :21:09. | :21:12. | |
get a foothold in the US, because seen gent -- Syngenta, which an | :21:13. | :21:18. | |
American firm had tried to buy and failed, is also a good -- big player | :21:19. | :21:23. | |
in the US in terms of pesticides and seeds and there is some concern | :21:24. | :21:27. | |
about what security of poses, the fact it would control these patents, | :21:28. | :21:31. | |
is the kind of thing that regulators worry about. In terms of the Chinese | :21:32. | :21:37. | |
economy, should we see this as evidence of progress or does the | :21:38. | :21:42. | |
actions of one company not really inform a great deal about the state | :21:43. | :21:46. | |
of the broader economy? It goes back to that point I said about what | :21:47. | :21:51. | |
China is trying to do with his food security. Think about it in terms of | :21:52. | :21:55. | |
this is a country that is growing increasingly prosperous and as many | :21:56. | :22:00. | |
people, to poverty the demand for food is growing, which poses a | :22:01. | :22:04. | |
challenge for the Government, how to improve food security. One way if | :22:05. | :22:09. | |
you look at a company like this, if it's able to buy more sophisticated | :22:10. | :22:13. | |
seeds that can help modernise China's farmland long-term, then | :22:14. | :22:18. | |
it's a case where you have the Government's agenda and the company | :22:19. | :22:22. | |
coming together. Thank you. We appreciate that. Ford has announced | :22:23. | :22:29. | |
job cuts here in Europe. Most likely this will hit major hubs in Germany | :22:30. | :22:35. | |
and the UK. We do not have precise details but we know the company is | :22:36. | :22:42. | |
trying to save in the region of $200 million, it is also refreshing | :22:43. | :22:45. | |
because it is putting on sale and has announced five new models. And a | :22:46. | :22:50. | |
new ad campaign has come out as well. Let's get analysis from the | :22:51. | :22:57. | |
BBC. Number one in the UK for 40 years in terms of brand and Zebre | :22:58. | :23:02. | |
etc but has been losing money in Europe the many years and 2015 was | :23:03. | :23:06. | |
the first time it turned that around. Ayes -- in terms of brand. | :23:07. | :23:16. | |
They want a sustainable, profitable business and what I read that to | :23:17. | :23:20. | |
mean is that we need to get better at doing what we are doing and we | :23:21. | :23:26. | |
need to sharpen up our focus, meaning we need to get more products | :23:27. | :23:30. | |
out there in the growth areas and let's look at our cost base and see | :23:31. | :23:33. | |
what we can do is train that's down to make sure that whatever the | :23:34. | :23:37. | |
global economy is going to throw at us, that we are in a sustainable | :23:38. | :23:43. | |
position in Europe. Thank you. One other thing is a story on the BBC | :23:44. | :23:51. | |
News website. This is Jonas Savimbi, former Angolan rebel leader who is | :23:52. | :23:58. | |
dead and he is on the page because his family is suing the makers of | :23:59. | :24:03. | |
colleges the over how he has betrayed in the game. They say he is | :24:04. | :24:07. | |
prepared as a barbarian and the game makers say he comes across rather | :24:08. | :24:12. | |
favourably. If you want more information about this, go to the | :24:13. | :24:17. | |
BBC News website and go to technology. Next, I want to tell you | :24:18. | :24:21. | |
about the end of a 16-year-old mystery about it deep sea creature | :24:22. | :24:26. | |
that resembles a discarded pro. Four. It is called Xena to Bele and | :24:27. | :24:32. | |
since its discovery no one could work out what it was. Now we know. | :24:33. | :24:40. | |
Or Professor Greg has from the script Institute of oceanography in | :24:41. | :24:43. | |
the US does. What was surprising was we found them in unusual places like | :24:44. | :24:50. | |
hydrothermal vents and one we found next to a dead whale carcass. We | :24:51. | :24:53. | |
think they like these places because there is lots of their prey, the big | :24:54. | :24:59. | |
bivalve molluscs. We don't understand how they eat. Our | :25:00. | :25:03. | |
nickname was purple socks, if you think of a sock you have taken off | :25:04. | :25:06. | |
and thrown on the floor, they literally look like that, or a | :25:07. | :25:12. | |
deflated balloon that is just laying down and they are pink or purple and | :25:13. | :25:19. | |
they glide along very slowly on the bottom. They hold their position | :25:20. | :25:25. | |
with muscle, the moment they relax pages look like this deflated | :25:26. | :25:29. | |
balloon or a crumpled sock and in spite of this, I think the very | :25:30. | :25:36. | |
interesting to look at for the first time, no one has looked at them in | :25:37. | :25:41. | |
nature, so we have the first images of it in its own environment. There | :25:42. | :25:47. | |
you go. In the next half we would hear about the biggest football | :25:48. | :25:50. | |
transfer in January and for the first time it was made by a Chinese | :25:51. | :25:52. | |
club. We will see you in a minute. Some of the biggest weather stories | :25:53. | :26:12. | |
around the world now, after the US, where over the last day we had | :26:13. | :26:16. | |
tornadoes in Alabama from this active weather | :26:17. | :26:17. |
