:01:15. > :01:19.Kay on the New Hampshire primaries, get in touch. She will be with us in
:01:20. > :01:19.15 minutes. I'm afraid the grim news
:01:20. > :01:31.from Syria continues. The UN has put out a report in which
:01:32. > :01:45.it You can read t says
:01:46. > :01:48.he report online - of killing captured Syrian soldiers
:01:49. > :02:06.and so-called "Islamic State" the finding concerning the crime
:02:07. > :02:10.against you Man City of extermination was reached after long
:02:11. > :02:14.examination of verified information that the commission has been
:02:15. > :02:23.gathering now for the last four and a half years. Over 500 interviews
:02:24. > :02:25.regarding the conduct of state officials in government detention
:02:26. > :02:32.facilities were examined in detail. This information helps us establish
:02:33. > :02:38.procedures and policies over how killings were organised and carried
:02:39. > :02:46.out. Killings and deaths described in this report occurred with high
:02:47. > :02:47.frequency. The Assad government denies the allegations.
:02:48. > :02:50.Murad Shishani, BBC Arabic told me the Assad government deny
:02:51. > :03:01.This report is documenting what is happening for the first time. To put
:03:02. > :03:04.it in context, there were many reports claiming that that was
:03:05. > :03:09.happening in Syria, even before the Arab Spring, before 2011. This is
:03:10. > :03:14.the first time we are documenting it. It has always been reflected in
:03:15. > :03:18.Arab literature, novels and stories and in the accounts of defecting
:03:19. > :03:25.people from Syria. But this is the first significant report. Secondly,
:03:26. > :03:28.the opposition forces or so using the same brutal methods used by the
:03:29. > :03:37.regime, which is a worrying sign that nothing has changed. I
:03:38. > :03:41.understand the importance of documenting crimes when they occur,
:03:42. > :03:44.but in practical terms, will this announcement have any impact on the
:03:45. > :03:49.conflict for the diplomacy around it? I doubt that, because it is
:03:50. > :04:00.always ongoing and it has been for many years. In later stages, it
:04:01. > :04:07.might be used in the search for justice by both parties. But there
:04:08. > :04:11.is no direct impact on the ground. The UN has used the phrase
:04:12. > :04:25.extermination. What do we know about the people who have been
:04:26. > :04:32.exterminated? There have been many accounts. I remember a long time
:04:33. > :04:37.ago, I have personally spoken to people who have spent more than 27
:04:38. > :04:43.years, like Mandela, under the Syrian regime, in prisons. And they
:04:44. > :04:48.were there before 2011, which makes it a huge problem. But now it is
:04:49. > :04:52.starting to be documented. If you want more information on this UN
:04:53. > :04:57.report, it is one of the lead stories on the BBC news website.
:04:58. > :05:01.They also have lots of background on the Syrian conflict, which has been
:05:02. > :05:04.going on for five years now. Now, let's bring you some of the main

:05:37. > :05:47.become a talking point. She released a video at the same time. The
:05:48. > :05:48.Rolling Stones reported on it. And the Atlantic described Beyonce's
:05:49. > :05:49.radical half-time statement. Her performance, referencing
:05:50. > :05:50.celebrated black figures of the past and recent black
:05:51. > :05:53.history, has dominated headlines. With more than 100 million Americans
:05:54. > :05:58.watching, Beyonce chose to make This was a black power anthem,
:05:59. > :06:12.complete with defiant fists and berets reminiscent
:06:13. > :06:15.of the militant Black Panther movement, born in the racial

:06:59. > :07:18.was asking a question of her fellow There is a long article about that
:07:19. > :07:25.performance as well on the BBC news website. Football next. Liverpool's
:07:26. > :07:28.chief executive Ian Hare was scheduled to direct question and
:07:29. > :07:40.answer session with fans via Twitter today, but that didn't go ahead.
:07:41. > :07:45.Here is a tweet from the club. From next season, the most expensive
:07:46. > :07:49.ticket at Liverpool will be ?77, over $100, and the fans walked out
:07:50. > :07:53.on Saturday towards the end of the game against Sunderland in protest.
:07:54. > :07:58.Let's bring in the BBC's Hugh Ferris to talk about this. Is this a sign
:07:59. > :08:02.that maybe the club is listening? I think they have to after what
:08:03. > :08:06.happened against Sunderland. Thousands of fans left in the 77th
:08:07. > :08:12.up at that stage and it was 2-2 up at that
:08:13. > :08:16.after all those funds left, indicative of the ?77 price you
:08:17. > :08:19.mentioned. A lot of fans are particularly angry not just at the
:08:20. > :08:23.fact that there are so many tickets that are going up in price, but just
:08:24. > :08:28.the general cost of football. So many are being priced out of the
:08:29. > :08:31.game. They feel it represents the disconnect between clubs and their
:08:32. > :08:37.fans. The clubs are of course getting billions of pounds' worth of
:08:38. > :08:42.income from TV deals, not only in the UK, but also abroad. If you took
:08:43. > :08:47.the Norwegian TV deal alone, that money next season would subsidise
:08:48. > :08:52.more than 3500 of the most expensive season tickets at every Premier
:08:53. > :08:58.League club. And it is not just in UK. Jurgen Klopp's former club play
:08:59. > :09:03.in the Bundesliga. Tickets there are considered to be excellent value.
:09:04. > :09:08.Their fans are currently unhappy about match day tickets going up to
:09:09. > :09:15.about ?30, 40. So all around Europe, they are not happy about the price
:09:16. > :09:17.rises of their tickets. I was reading that Liverpool have
:09:18. > :09:21.introduced some much cheaper tickets for children and parents who come
:09:22. > :09:26.with their kids. So the club could say, we are charging top dollar, but
:09:27. > :09:29.we are also thinking about the fans. And they did make that point. Two
:09:30. > :09:35.thirds of that gives will stay the same or go down. It is always the
:09:36. > :09:39.way. If the most expensive are getting more expensive, it is not
:09:40. > :09:43.only an easier line to draw in the sand, and the fans can say they are
:09:44. > :09:46.likely to be paying for those tickets, but there is a larger
:09:47. > :09:51.context in which to place this and the club are trying to make that
:09:52. > :09:59.point to the fans, whether or not they hold the Twitter session with
:10:00. > :10:06.their chief executive. Now, I have an update from the IAAF, the
:10:07. > :10:09.athletics world governing body. This is the page where it puts all its
:10:10. > :10:12.latest press releases and it has published a list of Russian athletes
:10:13. > :10:17.who will be banned from international competitions. It is
:10:18. > :10:22.quite long. It contains 4027 Russian athletes, including very well-known
:10:23. > :10:26.athletes in the country. It is unclear for how long these people
:10:27. > :10:30.will be suspended and whether Russian athletes will be in Rio for
:10:31. > :10:32.the Olympics, but for the moment, over 4000 of them are being
:10:33. > :10:35.suspended. Now back to football. Few people argue that
:10:36. > :10:37.Marta is the best woman And excitingly for those of us
:10:38. > :10:41.in the UK, she says she's considering playing in the Women's
:10:42. > :10:54.Super League in England. All my life, I try to play at the
:10:55. > :11:04.high level. So why not? You never know. I am feeling well in my club
:11:05. > :11:07.right now, so I don't think about this right now. But one day, we may
:11:08. > :11:18.see you playing in England? I never say no. Hopefully, she will say yes!
:11:19. > :11:21.In a few minutes, we will turn to a story which is an extension of a

:12:21. > :12:24.We need a system that does not see prisoners as liabilities to be

:15:05. > :15:09.Millions turned out as they do every year. There were question marks over
:15:10. > :15:13.whether the Zika virus might change that, but it seems not.
:15:14. > :15:20.This is what happens when you combine Carnival and the Olympics.
:15:21. > :15:25.This school chose the Olympic Games as its theme this year, and they
:15:26. > :15:29.started with bringing the Greek gods to Rio, this massive sculpture
:15:30. > :15:34.representing Zeus, and the other Greek gods arriving from Mount
:15:35. > :15:38.Olympus. There are other characters from Greek mythology and also the
:15:39. > :15:45.Olympic sports that will be played in Rio later this year. The floats

:16:15. > :16:19.the atmosphere of the Olympic Games. The party has started, and we hope
:16:20. > :16:24.it will not only be a great Carnival, but also a great party for
:16:25. > :16:28.the Olympics. The Carnival is one thing very important, to show the
:16:29. > :16:43.people we can do everything, whether Zika, no Zika. The Olympics will be
:16:44. > :16:49.great. Everyone here puts in lots of energy, hard work and money to try
:16:50. > :16:53.to win this year's title. This venue will also be used during the Olympic
:16:54. > :16:56.Games. This is where the archery competitions and part of the
:16:57. > :17:03.marathon will take less. Here during Carnival, you don't see any signs of
:17:04. > :17:07.concerns with Brazil's economic crisis the political problems or
:17:08. > :17:14.with Zika virus. Carnival is the time when people like to celebrate
:17:15. > :17:18.and forget all their troubles. Julia Carneiro was talking about energy,

:17:24. > :17:40.who'll compete for the US As ever, Katty Kay is going to help
:17:41. > :17:44.us. She is in Washington, DC. We talk about these TV debates a lot
:17:45. > :17:47.and we often look for those moments which will change campaigns, but
:17:48. > :17:51.they tend not to. I got up on Sunday morning and watched Rubio versus
:17:52. > :18:01.Chris Christie and thought maybe this was one? Yes, slips on debates
:18:02. > :18:04.have consequences when they play into an existing narrative, and the
:18:05. > :18:09.narrative surrounding Marco Rubio is that he is more show than substance,
:18:10. > :18:14.and that was what you saw in that debate, when Marco Rubio got himself
:18:15. > :18:17.into a position where he repeated verbatim, three times, the fact that
:18:18. > :18:21.Barack Obama knows what he is doing in changing America. He was pushed
:18:22. > :18:26.into this by Chris Christie, who was goading him and saying look, here's
:18:27. > :18:31.a robot. He has these canned speeches and that is all he does.
:18:32. > :18:34.And then Rubio went on to do that. It is going to have voters who make
:18:35. > :18:42.up their minds late in New Hampshire thinking, is he seasoned enough? Is
:18:43. > :18:48.he experienced enough to take on the White House for the Republicans? We
:18:49. > :18:51.have lots of tweets coming in. One is from a New York Times
:18:52. > :18:56.correspondent saying Rubio may have been hurt, but Chris Christie
:18:57. > :19:00.doesn't seem to have benefited. He didn't have a massive bump in the
:19:01. > :19:05.polls. Rubio has come down since that debate, but Chris Christie
:19:06. > :19:09.hasn't gone up, and that might be because Christie came across as a
:19:10. > :19:13.bit of a bully, enjoying this moment of putting Marco Rubio in an
:19:14. > :19:18.embarrassing position, and voters do not like that. That has always been
:19:19. > :19:23.Chris Christie's problem. I remember when Hillary Clinton and rap first
:19:24. > :19:27.went up against each other eight years ago, Bill Clinton used that
:19:28. > :19:32.speech, using the word fairy tale about Barack Obama which went down
:19:33. > :19:36.badly. Now he has made an aggressive speech against Bernie Sanders on
:19:37. > :19:40.behalf of his wife. I wonder how you judge that? It is interesting that
:19:41. > :19:44.they have sent Bill Clinton out to do the attack dog stuff against
:19:45. > :19:48.Bernie Sanders, feeling perhaps that hearing Clinton is not the right
:19:49. > :19:53.person to get aggressive with the Senator from Vermont.
:19:54. > :19:58.of that fairy tale stuff had slightly open racial overtones and
:19:59. > :20:00.it didn't do well in South Carolina, where there are a
:20:01. > :20:03.African-American voters, and it's one thing is against Hillary Clinton
:20:04. > :20:11.down there. This time, you will see such problems having
:20:12. > :20:13.Bill Clinton out there, accusing Bernie Sanders of offering something
:20:14. > :20:19.that is not realistic. But Hillary Clinton has another problem, which
:20:20. > :20:23.is the big split between older women who support her and younger women
:20:24. > :20:27.who are not feeling excited about her candidacy. That is what the
:20:28. > :20:34.campaign's priority will be in New Hampshire. Before you go, a snap
:20:35. > :20:38.from Reuters, quoting the Financial Times saying Michael Bloomberg is
:20:39. > :20:42.considering running for president. We knew that anyway, didn't we? We
:20:43. > :20:51.have heard these rumours before. This is the most concrete mention I
:20:52. > :20:56.have seen. I have the article here, and he says he is considering his
:20:57. > :21:00.options. He finds the level of discussion banal and he also says he
:21:01. > :21:02.would need to start putting his name on the ballots across the United
:21:03. > :21:07.States at the beginning of March if he is going to run. The trouble for
:21:08. > :21:10.Michael Bloomberg is that we may not know who the Democratic and
:21:11. > :21:15.Republican candidates are by March, and that will have a big impact on
:21:16. > :21:17.whether he is going to run or not. Very good to talk to you.
:21:18. > :21:20.One of the unlikely stars of the New Hampshire primaries
:21:21. > :21:23.is a fridge in the offices of the Conway Daily Sun.
:21:24. > :21:26.And just about all the big names have been to see it.
:21:27. > :21:41.The refrigerator is actually our office refrigerator. It was brought
:21:42. > :21:51.in by a local retailer ten years ago because the staff needed a
:21:52. > :21:58.refrigerator. New Hampshire is quirky, so somebody might have a
:21:59. > :22:04.nice fancy store, and the candidates go, so I said we have to do
:22:05. > :22:07.something. Let's have a shtick. We have this office refrigerator, which
:22:08. > :22:11.is basically a plane White refrigerator that everyone keeps
:22:12. > :22:21.their lunch in. I said, how about that? We will have them ask the
:22:22. > :22:30.candidates to sign that. We have had 31 people signed the fridge, and
:22:31. > :22:34.three to time as, Hillary Clinton, Mitt Romney and Ron Paul. If you are
:22:35. > :22:38.signing twice, it doesn't necessarily guarantee that you win
:22:39. > :22:46.the election. We have had everyone except Donald Trump. But we were
:22:47. > :22:54.told the reason he cannot come this far north is that it is not the
:22:55. > :22:57.place for his millions. So they have to do well in New Hampshire and
:22:58. > :23:03.Iowa, so it is that classic retail politicking. They meet the public
:23:04. > :23:07.one-on-one and it is a joke that if they do not see their favourite
:23:08. > :23:13.candidate three times, they haven't seen them enough yet. We have used
:23:14. > :23:18.three sides of the refrigerator now through three election cycles. We
:23:19. > :23:20.would like to place it somewhere, because it really is memorabilia,
:23:21. > :23:27.and it is an incredible experience for a small-town newspaper like us.
:23:28. > :23:30.I enjoyed seeing their handwriting as well.
:23:31. > :23:33.Last week, we showed you Dutch police using birds of prey
:23:34. > :23:37.The Metropolitan Police here in London are said to have been
:23:38. > :23:39.seen the video, and been impressed by it.
:23:40. > :23:49.When used in the right way, the results can be spectacular, such as
:23:50. > :23:54.this drunk footage of the ceramic poppies at the Tower of London in
:23:55. > :23:58.2014. Used in the wrong way, they are dangerous. A woman from south
:23:59. > :24:03.London was left with a gaping hole in her roof after a drone filming a
:24:04. > :24:07.neighbouring property crash landed. Here, a downhill skiing champion was
:24:08. > :24:11.almost hit when a drone fell from the sky during a race in Italy. But
:24:12. > :24:15.the Met are concerned that drones are now being used to commit crimes,
:24:16. > :24:22.and they are looking at using eagles to bring them down. Police in
:24:23. > :24:24.Holland are already using birds of prey. Eagles naturally attack the
:24:25. > :24:27.drones, seeing them as other birds encroaching on their territory. They
:24:28. > :24:32.call it a low-tech solution for a high-tech problem. The Met said in a
:24:33. > :24:35.statement, as would be expected in an organisation that is
:24:36. > :24:44.transforming, we take an interest in all innovative new ideas. Talks are
:24:45. > :24:49.already in use in London to scare off pigeons at Wimbledon, Trafalgar
:24:50. > :24:53.Square and at the BBC's New Broadcasting House, but some
:24:54. > :24:56.falconry experts don't agree with the idea, saying that blades on the
:24:57. > :25:01.drones could cause severe damage to the birds' clause.
:25:02. > :25:05.So that is what they are doing when I get to work! Thank you for
:25:06. > :25:13.watching. See you soon. Come the weekend, some of us may
:25:14. > :25:19.experience a different side to winter. But in the last 24 hours, it
:25:20. > :25:20.has been wild and windy
