Tens of thousands of Syrian refugees are gathering | :00:10. | :00:13. | |
They're fleeing an explosion of violence in Aleppo, | :00:14. | :00:17. | |
where regime forces have encircled the city, backed by Russian strikes. | :00:18. | :00:22. | |
UN investigators have accused the Syrian government of vast | :00:23. | :00:24. | |
They say the government has a state policy of extermination | :00:25. | :00:29. | |
It's 14 hours until the polls open in New Hampshire - | :00:30. | :00:40. | |
the latest battleground for potential US presidents. | :00:41. | :00:42. | |
We'll speak to Katty Kay about what to expect. | :00:43. | :00:50. | |
Michael Bloomberg has given an interview with the FT, saying he is | :00:51. | :00:54. | |
considering running for president. And if you have questions for Katty | :00:55. | :01:14. | |
Kay on the New Hampshire primaries, get in touch. She will be with us in | :01:15. | :01:19. | |
15 minutes. I'm afraid the grim news | :01:20. | :01:19. | |
from Syria continues. The UN has put out a report in which | :01:20. | :01:31. | |
it You can read t says | :01:32. | :01:45. | |
he report online - of killing captured Syrian soldiers | :01:46. | :01:48. | |
and so-called "Islamic State" the finding concerning the crime | :01:49. | :02:06. | |
against you Man City of extermination was reached after long | :02:07. | :02:10. | |
examination of verified information that the commission has been | :02:11. | :02:14. | |
gathering now for the last four and a half years. Over 500 interviews | :02:15. | :02:23. | |
regarding the conduct of state officials in government detention | :02:24. | :02:25. | |
facilities were examined in detail. This information helps us establish | :02:26. | :02:32. | |
procedures and policies over how killings were organised and carried | :02:33. | :02:38. | |
out. Killings and deaths described in this report occurred with high | :02:39. | :02:46. | |
frequency. The Assad government denies the allegations. | :02:47. | :02:47. | |
Murad Shishani, BBC Arabic told me the Assad government deny | :02:48. | :02:50. | |
This report is documenting what is happening for the first time. To put | :02:51. | :03:01. | |
it in context, there were many reports claiming that that was | :03:02. | :03:04. | |
happening in Syria, even before the Arab Spring, before 2011. This is | :03:05. | :03:09. | |
the first time we are documenting it. It has always been reflected in | :03:10. | :03:14. | |
Arab literature, novels and stories and in the accounts of defecting | :03:15. | :03:18. | |
people from Syria. But this is the first significant report. Secondly, | :03:19. | :03:25. | |
the opposition forces or so using the same brutal methods used by the | :03:26. | :03:28. | |
regime, which is a worrying sign that nothing has changed. I | :03:29. | :03:37. | |
understand the importance of documenting crimes when they occur, | :03:38. | :03:41. | |
but in practical terms, will this announcement have any impact on the | :03:42. | :03:44. | |
conflict for the diplomacy around it? I doubt that, because it is | :03:45. | :03:49. | |
always ongoing and it has been for many years. In later stages, it | :03:50. | :04:00. | |
might be used in the search for justice by both parties. But there | :04:01. | :04:07. | |
is no direct impact on the ground. The UN has used the phrase | :04:08. | :04:11. | |
extermination. What do we know about the people who have been | :04:12. | :04:25. | |
exterminated? There have been many accounts. I remember a long time | :04:26. | :04:32. | |
ago, I have personally spoken to people who have spent more than 27 | :04:33. | :04:37. | |
years, like Mandela, under the Syrian regime, in prisons. And they | :04:38. | :04:43. | |
were there before 2011, which makes it a huge problem. But now it is | :04:44. | :04:48. | |
starting to be documented. If you want more information on this UN | :04:49. | :04:52. | |
report, it is one of the lead stories on the BBC news website. | :04:53. | :04:57. | |
They also have lots of background on the Syrian conflict, which has been | :04:58. | :05:01. | |
going on for five years now. Now, let's bring you some of the main | :05:02. | :05:04. | |
sports stories from around the world. Only one place to start. | :05:05. | :05:07. | |
The Denver Broncos beat the Carolina Panthers 24-10. | :05:08. | :05:13. | |
And there was the half-time show - with Coldplay, Bruno Mars | :05:14. | :05:16. | |
We didn't expect something as political as what we got. That has | :05:17. | :05:36. | |
become a talking point. She released a video at the same time. The | :05:37. | :05:47. | |
Rolling Stones reported on it. And the Atlantic described Beyonce's | :05:48. | :05:48. | |
radical half-time statement. Her performance, referencing | :05:49. | :05:49. | |
celebrated black figures of the past and recent black | :05:50. | :05:50. | |
history, has dominated headlines. With more than 100 million Americans | :05:51. | :05:53. | |
watching, Beyonce chose to make This was a black power anthem, | :05:54. | :05:58. | |
complete with defiant fists and berets reminiscent | :05:59. | :06:12. | |
of the militant Black Panther movement, born in the racial | :06:13. | :06:15. | |
turmoil of the '60s. After the performance, | :06:16. | :06:20. | |
some of the dancers held up a sign He was shot dead by San Francisco | :06:21. | :06:25. | |
police in December, reportedly because he refused to put | :06:26. | :06:29. | |
down a knife. Beyonce's new video | :06:30. | :06:37. | |
hammers home the message. On social media, there | :06:38. | :06:39. | |
was much praise for Beyonce. One person said, she is | :06:40. | :06:45. | |
the candidate we need. There was criticism too, | :06:46. | :06:47. | |
with comments such as... The Super Bowl show was a reminder | :06:48. | :06:55. | |
this country has not At times it felt like Beyonce | :06:56. | :06:58. | |
was asking a question of her fellow There is a long article about that | :06:59. | :07:18. | |
performance as well on the BBC news website. Football next. Liverpool's | :07:19. | :07:25. | |
chief executive Ian Hare was scheduled to direct question and | :07:26. | :07:28. | |
answer session with fans via Twitter today, but that didn't go ahead. | :07:29. | :07:40. | |
Here is a tweet from the club. From next season, the most expensive | :07:41. | :07:45. | |
ticket at Liverpool will be ?77, over $100, and the fans walked out | :07:46. | :07:49. | |
on Saturday towards the end of the game against Sunderland in protest. | :07:50. | :07:53. | |
Let's bring in the BBC's Hugh Ferris to talk about this. Is this a sign | :07:54. | :07:58. | |
that maybe the club is listening? I think they have to after what | :07:59. | :08:02. | |
happened against Sunderland. Thousands of fans left in the 77th | :08:03. | :08:06. | |
up at that stage and it was 2-2 up at that | :08:07. | :08:12. | |
after all those funds left, indicative of the ?77 price you | :08:13. | :08:16. | |
mentioned. A lot of fans are particularly angry not just at the | :08:17. | :08:19. | |
fact that there are so many tickets that are going up in price, but just | :08:20. | :08:23. | |
the general cost of football. So many are being priced out of the | :08:24. | :08:28. | |
game. They feel it represents the disconnect between clubs and their | :08:29. | :08:31. | |
fans. The clubs are of course getting billions of pounds' worth of | :08:32. | :08:37. | |
income from TV deals, not only in the UK, but also abroad. If you took | :08:38. | :08:42. | |
the Norwegian TV deal alone, that money next season would subsidise | :08:43. | :08:47. | |
more than 3500 of the most expensive season tickets at every Premier | :08:48. | :08:52. | |
League club. And it is not just in UK. Jurgen Klopp's former club play | :08:53. | :08:58. | |
in the Bundesliga. Tickets there are considered to be excellent value. | :08:59. | :09:03. | |
Their fans are currently unhappy about match day tickets going up to | :09:04. | :09:08. | |
about ?30, 40. So all around Europe, they are not happy about the price | :09:09. | :09:15. | |
rises of their tickets. I was reading that Liverpool have | :09:16. | :09:17. | |
introduced some much cheaper tickets for children and parents who come | :09:18. | :09:21. | |
with their kids. So the club could say, we are charging top dollar, but | :09:22. | :09:26. | |
we are also thinking about the fans. And they did make that point. Two | :09:27. | :09:29. | |
thirds of that gives will stay the same or go down. It is always the | :09:30. | :09:35. | |
way. If the most expensive are getting more expensive, it is not | :09:36. | :09:39. | |
only an easier line to draw in the sand, and the fans can say they are | :09:40. | :09:43. | |
likely to be paying for those tickets, but there is a larger | :09:44. | :09:46. | |
context in which to place this and the club are trying to make that | :09:47. | :09:51. | |
point to the fans, whether or not they hold the Twitter session with | :09:52. | :09:59. | |
their chief executive. Now, I have an update from the IAAF, the | :10:00. | :10:06. | |
athletics world governing body. This is the page where it puts all its | :10:07. | :10:09. | |
latest press releases and it has published a list of Russian athletes | :10:10. | :10:12. | |
who will be banned from international competitions. It is | :10:13. | :10:17. | |
quite long. It contains 4027 Russian athletes, including very well-known | :10:18. | :10:22. | |
athletes in the country. It is unclear for how long these people | :10:23. | :10:26. | |
will be suspended and whether Russian athletes will be in Rio for | :10:27. | :10:30. | |
the Olympics, but for the moment, over 4000 of them are being | :10:31. | :10:32. | |
suspended. Now back to football. Few people argue that | :10:33. | :10:35. | |
Marta is the best woman And excitingly for those of us | :10:36. | :10:37. | |
in the UK, she says she's considering playing in the Women's | :10:38. | :10:41. | |
Super League in England. All my life, I try to play at the | :10:42. | :10:54. | |
high level. So why not? You never know. I am feeling well in my club | :10:55. | :11:04. | |
right now, so I don't think about this right now. But one day, we may | :11:05. | :11:07. | |
see you playing in England? I never say no. Hopefully, she will say yes! | :11:08. | :11:18. | |
In a few minutes, we will turn to a story which is an extension of a | :11:19. | :11:21. | |
story we were covering last week. Here is a bird of prey. That is a | :11:22. | :11:27. | |
drug being picked up by it. This is in the Netherlands. | :11:28. | :11:28. | |
Police in the UK are considering training birds of prey to intercept | :11:29. | :11:31. | |
British Prime Minister David Cameron has promised a major shake-up | :11:32. | :11:37. | |
In a speech today, he called the failures of prisons | :11:38. | :11:41. | |
with high levels of violence and re-offending - scandalous. | :11:42. | :11:45. | |
Under his new proposals, six new "reform prisons" | :11:46. | :11:49. | |
existing institutions and prison governors would be given greater | :11:50. | :11:53. | |
autonomy over their prison's operation and its budgets. | :11:54. | :11:57. | |
Our Home Affairs correspondent Daniel Sandford has the story | :11:58. | :11:59. | |
David Cameron this morning, walking into a prison system | :12:00. | :12:07. | |
where violence is rising, murders are at record | :12:08. | :12:09. | |
after their jail time remains stubbornly high. | :12:10. | :12:18. | |
A system that sometimes works, but often doesn't. | :12:19. | :12:20. | |
We need a system that does not see prisoners as liabilities to be | :12:21. | :12:24. | |
managed, but as potential assets to be harnessed. | :12:25. | :12:26. | |
The failure of the system today is scandalous. | :12:27. | :12:29. | |
46% of prisoners will reoffend within a year of release. | :12:30. | :12:35. | |
Current levels of prison violence, drug-taking and self-harm | :12:36. | :12:40. | |
While it is not unusual for a Prime Minister to make | :12:41. | :12:46. | |
a speech about crime, it is unusual to commit himself | :12:47. | :12:49. | |
so strongly to prison reform, which is perhaps why | :12:50. | :12:52. | |
in the 21st century, so many inmates are held | :12:53. | :12:55. | |
At the heart of the proposed wholesale reform | :12:56. | :13:02. | |
These inmates were learning bike maintenance. | :13:03. | :13:10. | |
He wants to give prison governors more power to run jails as they see | :13:11. | :13:13. | |
best, and even for staff to have bonuses when reoffending | :13:14. | :13:16. | |
But prison reformers say he is avoiding the big questions, | :13:17. | :13:20. | |
like how many people should be in prison in the first place? | :13:21. | :13:25. | |
It has to look at what the purpose of prison is, what do we want | :13:26. | :13:29. | |
prisons to do, who should be in prisons, what are | :13:30. | :13:33. | |
They are failing, and that is seen in reoffending rates | :13:34. | :13:39. | |
The Prime Minister wants to look at a tag to allow satellite tracking | :13:40. | :13:45. | |
of some offenders, who would keep their jobs and only go to prison | :13:46. | :13:48. | |
Jails do keep offenders off the streets, but often, it is only a | :13:49. | :13:54. | |
temporary fix. The Prime Minister is now promising | :13:55. | :13:58. | |
what he called full-on This is Outside Source, | :13:59. | :14:00. | |
live from the BBC newsroom. Thousands of Syrian refugees | :14:01. | :14:17. | |
are gathering on the northern border with Turkey, hoping | :14:18. | :14:21. | |
to enter the country. The Turkish Prime Minister has | :14:22. | :14:24. | |
said his country would let them Coming up shortly on BBC | :14:25. | :14:27. | |
News: World News America is | :14:28. | :14:33. | |
on the campaign trail as New Hampshire gets set | :14:34. | :14:36. | |
to vote in the primaries. I'll be talking | :14:37. | :14:40. | |
to Katty in a minute. And the News at Ten has a special | :14:41. | :14:43. | |
report from Eastern Ukraine, where monitors say there has been | :14:44. | :14:48. | |
an increase in the level Now, it is Carnival time in Brazil. | :14:49. | :15:04. | |
Millions turned out as they do every year. There were question marks over | :15:05. | :15:09. | |
whether the Zika virus might change that, but it seems not. | :15:10. | :15:13. | |
This is what happens when you combine Carnival and the Olympics. | :15:14. | :15:20. | |
This school chose the Olympic Games as its theme this year, and they | :15:21. | :15:25. | |
started with bringing the Greek gods to Rio, this massive sculpture | :15:26. | :15:29. | |
representing Zeus, and the other Greek gods arriving from Mount | :15:30. | :15:34. | |
Olympus. There are other characters from Greek mythology and also the | :15:35. | :15:38. | |
Olympic sports that will be played in Rio later this year. The floats | :15:39. | :15:45. | |
here represent icons of the city, representing Rio to the visitors | :15:46. | :15:49. | |
arriving. These greenhouse fits represent the forest -- the green | :15:50. | :15:56. | |
outfits. There is also the famous sidewalk pattern on Copacabana beach | :15:57. | :16:02. | |
and the statue of Christ the Redeemer. And here is a group of | :16:03. | :16:06. | |
Olympic athletes from Brazil, taking part in the parade. I spoke to them | :16:07. | :16:11. | |
about what it means to be here. TRANSLATION: We are already feeling | :16:12. | :16:14. | |
the atmosphere of the Olympic Games. The party has started, and we hope | :16:15. | :16:19. | |
it will not only be a great Carnival, but also a great party for | :16:20. | :16:24. | |
the Olympics. The Carnival is one thing very important, to show the | :16:25. | :16:28. | |
people we can do everything, whether Zika, no Zika. The Olympics will be | :16:29. | :16:43. | |
great. Everyone here puts in lots of energy, hard work and money to try | :16:44. | :16:49. | |
to win this year's title. This venue will also be used during the Olympic | :16:50. | :16:53. | |
Games. This is where the archery competitions and part of the | :16:54. | :16:56. | |
marathon will take less. Here during Carnival, you don't see any signs of | :16:57. | :17:03. | |
concerns with Brazil's economic crisis the political problems or | :17:04. | :17:07. | |
with Zika virus. Carnival is the time when people like to celebrate | :17:08. | :17:14. | |
and forget all their troubles. Julia Carneiro was talking about energy, | :17:15. | :17:18. | |
hard work and money going into Carnival. Here is another story | :17:19. | :17:19. | |
which requires all of those. Tuesday - tomorrow - | :17:20. | :17:21. | |
is New Hampshire's day And the latest step to knowing | :17:22. | :17:23. | |
who'll compete for the US As ever, Katty Kay is going to help | :17:24. | :17:40. | |
us. She is in Washington, DC. We talk about these TV debates a lot | :17:41. | :17:44. | |
and we often look for those moments which will change campaigns, but | :17:45. | :17:47. | |
they tend not to. I got up on Sunday morning and watched Rubio versus | :17:48. | :17:51. | |
Chris Christie and thought maybe this was one? Yes, slips on debates | :17:52. | :18:01. | |
have consequences when they play into an existing narrative, and the | :18:02. | :18:04. | |
narrative surrounding Marco Rubio is that he is more show than substance, | :18:05. | :18:09. | |
and that was what you saw in that debate, when Marco Rubio got himself | :18:10. | :18:14. | |
into a position where he repeated verbatim, three times, the fact that | :18:15. | :18:17. | |
Barack Obama knows what he is doing in changing America. He was pushed | :18:18. | :18:21. | |
into this by Chris Christie, who was goading him and saying look, here's | :18:22. | :18:26. | |
a robot. He has these canned speeches and that is all he does. | :18:27. | :18:31. | |
And then Rubio went on to do that. It is going to have voters who make | :18:32. | :18:34. | |
up their minds late in New Hampshire thinking, is he seasoned enough? Is | :18:35. | :18:42. | |
he experienced enough to take on the White House for the Republicans? We | :18:43. | :18:48. | |
have lots of tweets coming in. One is from a New York Times | :18:49. | :18:51. | |
correspondent saying Rubio may have been hurt, but Chris Christie | :18:52. | :18:56. | |
doesn't seem to have benefited. He didn't have a massive bump in the | :18:57. | :19:00. | |
polls. Rubio has come down since that debate, but Chris Christie | :19:01. | :19:05. | |
hasn't gone up, and that might be because Christie came across as a | :19:06. | :19:09. | |
bit of a bully, enjoying this moment of putting Marco Rubio in an | :19:10. | :19:13. | |
embarrassing position, and voters do not like that. That has always been | :19:14. | :19:18. | |
Chris Christie's problem. I remember when Hillary Clinton and rap first | :19:19. | :19:23. | |
went up against each other eight years ago, Bill Clinton used that | :19:24. | :19:27. | |
speech, using the word fairy tale about Barack Obama which went down | :19:28. | :19:32. | |
badly. Now he has made an aggressive speech against Bernie Sanders on | :19:33. | :19:36. | |
behalf of his wife. I wonder how you judge that? It is interesting that | :19:37. | :19:40. | |
they have sent Bill Clinton out to do the attack dog stuff against | :19:41. | :19:44. | |
Bernie Sanders, feeling perhaps that hearing Clinton is not the right | :19:45. | :19:48. | |
person to get aggressive with the Senator from Vermont. | :19:49. | :19:53. | |
of that fairy tale stuff had slightly open racial overtones and | :19:54. | :19:58. | |
it didn't do well in South Carolina, where there are a | :19:59. | :20:00. | |
African-American voters, and it's one thing is against Hillary Clinton | :20:01. | :20:03. | |
down there. This time, you will see such problems having | :20:04. | :20:11. | |
Bill Clinton out there, accusing Bernie Sanders of offering something | :20:12. | :20:13. | |
that is not realistic. But Hillary Clinton has another problem, which | :20:14. | :20:19. | |
is the big split between older women who support her and younger women | :20:20. | :20:23. | |
who are not feeling excited about her candidacy. That is what the | :20:24. | :20:27. | |
campaign's priority will be in New Hampshire. Before you go, a snap | :20:28. | :20:34. | |
from Reuters, quoting the Financial Times saying Michael Bloomberg is | :20:35. | :20:38. | |
considering running for president. We knew that anyway, didn't we? We | :20:39. | :20:42. | |
have heard these rumours before. This is the most concrete mention I | :20:43. | :20:51. | |
have seen. I have the article here, and he says he is considering his | :20:52. | :20:56. | |
options. He finds the level of discussion banal and he also says he | :20:57. | :21:00. | |
would need to start putting his name on the ballots across the United | :21:01. | :21:02. | |
States at the beginning of March if he is going to run. The trouble for | :21:03. | :21:07. | |
Michael Bloomberg is that we may not know who the Democratic and | :21:08. | :21:10. | |
Republican candidates are by March, and that will have a big impact on | :21:11. | :21:15. | |
whether he is going to run or not. Very good to talk to you. | :21:16. | :21:17. | |
One of the unlikely stars of the New Hampshire primaries | :21:18. | :21:20. | |
is a fridge in the offices of the Conway Daily Sun. | :21:21. | :21:23. | |
And just about all the big names have been to see it. | :21:24. | :21:26. | |
The refrigerator is actually our office refrigerator. It was brought | :21:27. | :21:41. | |
in by a local retailer ten years ago because the staff needed a | :21:42. | :21:51. | |
refrigerator. New Hampshire is quirky, so somebody might have a | :21:52. | :21:58. | |
nice fancy store, and the candidates go, so I said we have to do | :21:59. | :22:04. | |
something. Let's have a shtick. We have this office refrigerator, which | :22:05. | :22:07. | |
is basically a plane White refrigerator that everyone keeps | :22:08. | :22:11. | |
their lunch in. I said, how about that? We will have them ask the | :22:12. | :22:21. | |
candidates to sign that. We have had 31 people signed the fridge, and | :22:22. | :22:30. | |
three to time as, Hillary Clinton, Mitt Romney and Ron Paul. If you are | :22:31. | :22:34. | |
signing twice, it doesn't necessarily guarantee that you win | :22:35. | :22:38. | |
the election. We have had everyone except Donald Trump. But we were | :22:39. | :22:46. | |
told the reason he cannot come this far north is that it is not the | :22:47. | :22:54. | |
place for his millions. So they have to do well in New Hampshire and | :22:55. | :22:57. | |
Iowa, so it is that classic retail politicking. They meet the public | :22:58. | :23:03. | |
one-on-one and it is a joke that if they do not see their favourite | :23:04. | :23:07. | |
candidate three times, they haven't seen them enough yet. We have used | :23:08. | :23:13. | |
three sides of the refrigerator now through three election cycles. We | :23:14. | :23:18. | |
would like to place it somewhere, because it really is memorabilia, | :23:19. | :23:20. | |
and it is an incredible experience for a small-town newspaper like us. | :23:21. | :23:27. | |
I enjoyed seeing their handwriting as well. | :23:28. | :23:30. | |
Last week, we showed you Dutch police using birds of prey | :23:31. | :23:33. | |
The Metropolitan Police here in London are said to have been | :23:34. | :23:37. | |
seen the video, and been impressed by it. | :23:38. | :23:39. | |
When used in the right way, the results can be spectacular, such as | :23:40. | :23:49. | |
this drunk footage of the ceramic poppies at the Tower of London in | :23:50. | :23:54. | |
2014. Used in the wrong way, they are dangerous. A woman from south | :23:55. | :23:58. | |
London was left with a gaping hole in her roof after a drone filming a | :23:59. | :24:03. | |
neighbouring property crash landed. Here, a downhill skiing champion was | :24:04. | :24:07. | |
almost hit when a drone fell from the sky during a race in Italy. But | :24:08. | :24:11. | |
the Met are concerned that drones are now being used to commit crimes, | :24:12. | :24:15. | |
and they are looking at using eagles to bring them down. Police in | :24:16. | :24:22. | |
Holland are already using birds of prey. Eagles naturally attack the | :24:23. | :24:24. | |
drones, seeing them as other birds encroaching on their territory. They | :24:25. | :24:27. | |
call it a low-tech solution for a high-tech problem. The Met said in a | :24:28. | :24:32. | |
statement, as would be expected in an organisation that is | :24:33. | :24:35. | |
transforming, we take an interest in all innovative new ideas. Talks are | :24:36. | :24:44. | |
already in use in London to scare off pigeons at Wimbledon, Trafalgar | :24:45. | :24:49. | |
Square and at the BBC's New Broadcasting House, but some | :24:50. | :24:53. | |
falconry experts don't agree with the idea, saying that blades on the | :24:54. | :24:56. | |
drones could cause severe damage to the birds' clause. | :24:57. | :25:01. | |
So that is what they are doing when I get to work! Thank you for | :25:02. | :25:05. | |
watching. See you soon. Come the weekend, some of us may | :25:06. | :25:13. | |
experience a different side to winter. But in the last 24 hours, it | :25:14. | :25:19. | |
has been wild and windy | :25:20. | :25:20. |
