:01:29. > :01:36.Beginning with the story that is developing over the last few hours.
:01:37. > :01:40.It concerns Ankara. An explosion has been heard, as you can see on this
:01:41. > :01:46.copy from Reuters, which came into the newsroom. The explosion started
:01:47. > :01:49.with the Turkish media reports, and then widely it became established
:01:50. > :01:54.that it was happening. This is one of the main newspapers in Turkey
:01:55. > :01:59.quoting the prime ministers saying that at least 28 have been killed
:02:00. > :02:02.and 61 injured. Nobody used the words terror attack. The ruling
:02:03. > :02:10.party has described this as just that. I will show you where this has
:02:11. > :02:12.happened. An area very close to the parliament in the capital and also
:02:13. > :02:23.close to Turkey's military headquarters. And this is a
:02:24. > :02:27.photograph taken from some distance away showing of this huge plume of
:02:28. > :02:32.dark smoke rising into the night sky. The target appears to be
:02:33. > :02:40.coaches carrying military personnel. This is one of the first pictures
:02:41. > :02:45.shared from the scene, with security forces arriving, and a sense here of
:02:46. > :02:53.the confusion and panic that played out. Live to Istanbul, where we can
:02:54. > :02:56.speak to our correspondent. When we spoke a couple of hours ago, we knew
:02:57. > :03:02.very little about this. What more have you learned? Still we know
:03:03. > :03:09.little about who was behind these attacks and why. As you have said,
:03:10. > :03:19.the death toll still stands at 28 and the number of injured is 61.
:03:20. > :03:23.President began recently issued a statement vowing retaliatory
:03:24. > :03:28.attacks. -- president purdah one. He says it is known that Turkey will
:03:29. > :03:33.not shy away from using its rights to self defence, and their
:03:34. > :03:40.determination to respond is getting stronger. The targets of the attack
:03:41. > :03:51.was military personnel, and there were several vehicles waiting by the
:03:52. > :03:55.traffic lights. The army condemned this as an outrageous attack.
:03:56. > :03:59.Everyone is condemning the attacks, and on social media. Everyone is
:04:00. > :04:03.offering condolences to the relatives of the dead. One tweet
:04:04. > :04:08.said, for instance, enough is enough, do not kill any more, do not
:04:09. > :04:12.make the people in this country sad any more. There is a dark mood in
:04:13. > :04:17.Turkey but people expect answer snap. People want to know who was
:04:18. > :04:22.behind these attacks. There are two usual suspects in Turkey, and one is
:04:23. > :04:26.the Islamic State group that has been held responsible for several
:04:27. > :04:31.attacks over the last couple of years. Including the one in Ankara
:04:32. > :04:38.last October that killed over 100 people. And the second usual suspect
:04:39. > :04:48.is a Kurdish militant group, the PKK. The ceasefire collapsed with
:04:49. > :04:52.them last July and since then, hundreds of security personnel have
:04:53. > :04:56.been killed along with civilians. We do not yet know who was behind the
:04:57. > :05:03.attacks, but the government and the President about that their response
:05:04. > :05:07.will be very strong. You mentioned two separate security concerns, the
:05:08. > :05:12.Islamic State and the PKK. What does the government be doing to respond
:05:13. > :05:18.to those two perceived threats? The government has been holding
:05:19. > :05:23.operations, military operations, against the PKK. Hundreds of people
:05:24. > :05:33.have been detained and in the south-east of Turkey, where there is
:05:34. > :05:40.a predominantly Kurdish minority, there have been curfews in several
:05:41. > :05:45.cities and the government said this showed the determination of the
:05:46. > :05:52.country and the government to raise PKK militants and supporters from
:05:53. > :05:55.these towns. But the PKK has been striking back hard. They have held
:05:56. > :06:01.several attacks across the country. Of course we have to bear in mind
:06:02. > :06:07.that this comes at a time when Turkey is increasingly getting
:06:08. > :06:13.involved in the conflict in Syria. Over the last week they have been
:06:14. > :06:23.shelling Kurdish militia targets, the Turkey sees as affiliated with
:06:24. > :06:27.the PKK group. In the eyes of the government, the PKK is the first
:06:28. > :06:30.suspect. Of course, we have to bear in mind that the Turkish government
:06:31. > :06:34.has opened one of its air bases to the coalition against the Islamic
:06:35. > :06:40.State, so people were concerned that Turkey could be becoming more of a
:06:41. > :06:45.target for Islamic State attacks. Many thanks for your help. More
:06:46. > :06:52.information coming in all the time from Ankara and when we get it, I
:06:53. > :06:55.can access it immediately through this touch-screen. While we're
:06:56. > :06:59.waiting for that increase in information to come to us, let's
:07:00. > :07:03.talk about David Cameron, continuing last-minute negotiations over the
:07:04. > :07:07.proposed reforms to the UK's relationship with the European
:07:08. > :07:13.Union. There is a particular urgency to the diplomacy because on
:07:14. > :07:17.Thursday, as you can see, there is a European Council summit. These are
:07:18. > :07:21.the events where leaders of all 28 member states come together and one
:07:22. > :07:28.of the main sticking points seem to be proposed curbs on the UK welfare
:07:29. > :07:33.payments for migrants from the European Union. We know that there
:07:34. > :07:38.are four countries in particular with concerns. Poland, Czech
:07:39. > :07:45.Republic, and Hungary. Yesterday, the British government was saying it
:07:46. > :07:48.was very happy to say it had broad support for these reforms from
:07:49. > :07:51.members of the European Parliament but today, it has clearly got work
:07:52. > :07:58.to do with those countries I have mentioned. But there was good news
:07:59. > :08:02.from Angela Merkel. David Cameron's demands, far from being demands that
:08:03. > :08:07.are just in Britain's interests, in some cases we must state quite the
:08:08. > :08:13.opposite. Many of the issues are justified and necessary. And it is
:08:14. > :08:17.not just European leaders that Mr Cameron has to convince. He also has
:08:18. > :08:23.to convince key figures within his own party. The Conservatives. That
:08:24. > :08:26.includes Boris Johnson, the mayor of London, you can see walking up
:08:27. > :08:30.Downing Street today, talking to Norman Smith. He was there to speak
:08:31. > :08:37.to Mr Cameron about these proposals, and whether he will publicly support
:08:38. > :08:40.the reforms or not. He actually got stuck outside the door for a few
:08:41. > :08:47.seconds until eventually someone let him in. He went in for about 40
:08:48. > :08:51.minutes or so and eventually emerged from Number Ten. Lets talk to Carole
:08:52. > :08:56.Walker, live from Westminster. He did not say much but do we get an
:08:57. > :09:01.impression on whether he will be siding with the Prime Minister?
:09:02. > :09:05.Boris Johnson has been keeping everyone in the dark, including the
:09:06. > :09:12.Prime Minister as to which way he is going to go. What he has said is
:09:13. > :09:22.that he is going to wait and see what exactly David Cameron comes
:09:23. > :09:28.back with. He said before that he has no fears about Britainfuture
:09:29. > :09:33.outside the EU, but that he thinks that there are problems inside the
:09:34. > :09:36.European Union, but that he has not necessarily made up his mind to
:09:37. > :09:42.campaign to leave the European Union. He has become a key figure
:09:43. > :09:46.because those who do want to leave the European Union are desperately
:09:47. > :09:54.looking for some kind of charismatic figure who can be a leader for their
:09:55. > :09:57.campaign. Despite that less than impressive figure that he may have
:09:58. > :10:03.cut as he wandered into Downing Street to try to get in the front
:10:04. > :10:07.door, Boris Johnson is a politician who can reach out beyond the
:10:08. > :10:13.Conservative Party's traditional base and perhaps reach out beyond
:10:14. > :10:16.the sorts of voters that might be appealed to buy the Ukip campaigns,
:10:17. > :10:21.convincing people that it is right for them to leave. But many suspect
:10:22. > :10:25.that underneath it all, because of his loyalty to the Prime Minister
:10:26. > :10:29.and because of the way that might play into his future career, when it
:10:30. > :10:35.comes down to it he will eventually side with the Prime Minister, but we
:10:36. > :10:38.will not know that until later on on Friday. What is happening is that
:10:39. > :10:44.the Prime Minister will be holding a crucial cabinet meeting when he gets
:10:45. > :10:47.back from Brussels with the deal. And at that point, cabinet ministers
:10:48. > :10:53.and others will be free to say what they really think. And when we get
:10:54. > :10:56.to that point, if we get to that point, will it be then that the
:10:57. > :11:01.Prime Minister turns around and tells the UK the date of the
:11:02. > :11:05.referendum? That's right. If the Prime Minister gets a deal, which he
:11:06. > :11:11.thinks he can use to try to persuade the British people to support
:11:12. > :11:17.staying within the EU, we expect that the referendum to be held on
:11:18. > :11:23.June the 23rd and that will be the key date. But what he has got to do
:11:24. > :11:26.before all that is to try to square his senior ministers, his cabinet.
:11:27. > :11:30.What he has said to them is that until he comes back, until he has
:11:31. > :11:34.that deal and they have a chance to discuss it, that they should row in
:11:35. > :11:39.behind his efforts to try to get to the negotiation of a new
:11:40. > :11:53.relationship with the EU. Once that has been settled, then those senior
:11:54. > :11:57.ministers will be free to come out and campaign on whichever side they
:11:58. > :11:59.choose. Of course, at that point we move almost certainly beyond those
:12:00. > :12:01.arguments about exactly what David Cameron has managed to get from his
:12:02. > :12:03.EU partners and into those much bigger arguments about whether
:12:04. > :12:05.Britain is better off economically, whether it is better for our
:12:06. > :12:08.international standing, whether it is better for our long-term future
:12:09. > :12:12.to be inside the EU or outside the EU. They give very much. An
:12:13. > :12:15.important point made there, that whenever the referendum happens,
:12:16. > :12:20.some would suggest that actually the nature of any deal that Mr Cameron
:12:21. > :12:22.manages to strike will not be as important as those bigger, broader
:12:23. > :12:26.issues which Carroll was alluding to. If you are interested in this
:12:27. > :12:30.party and if you were watching the BBC news channel, you will be
:12:31. > :12:36.particularly interested in it. There is a lot amount -- there is a lot of
:12:37. > :12:39.background on it on our website which you can find easily. If you
:12:40. > :12:42.were watching yesterday, you will know we were talking about a deal
:12:43. > :12:47.between the Syrian government and the UN to allow aid to seven the
:12:48. > :12:52.siege to locations in Syria. There is some good news and we do not
:12:53. > :12:59.often have that from Syria. The UN says that aid convoys have reached
:13:00. > :13:05.five besieged towns on Wednesday. They have been delivering a range of
:13:06. > :13:11.supplies, food and vaccines and medical supplies. We do not have
:13:12. > :13:15.pictures of all the convoys but these are some trucks rolling into
:13:16. > :13:20.one location close to Damascus. Some of the places that have not been
:13:21. > :13:25.reached today, we're told, will be reached within the few days. And
:13:26. > :13:32.this is happening because of a deal cut yesterday. If I bring you a more
:13:33. > :13:35.detailed map, four of the locations are down in the south-west with a
:13:36. > :13:40.couple of villagers in the north-west and another location in
:13:41. > :13:44.the east of the country. We know some trucks have made good progress
:13:45. > :13:52.at others are expected to arrive in the next few days. Earlier on, I
:13:53. > :13:55.spoke to a colleague from BBC Arabic, to learn more about the
:13:56. > :14:07.individual circumstances in these seven locations. We can see that
:14:08. > :14:12.there are some places near a Gleb -- near Idlib, and also they have
:14:13. > :14:20.talked about other areas near Damascus. And to the east, there are
:14:21. > :14:27.areas partly controlled by Islamic State strips. It would be quite a
:14:28. > :14:33.challenge for the United Nations to deliver aid to that part of Syria.
:14:34. > :14:34.In the south, it is under the control of various fighting
:14:35. > :14:38.factions. The United Nations has been working hard following that
:14:39. > :14:52.agreement last Thursday in Munich about delivering aid to these areas.
:14:53. > :14:56.The Syrian government is under pressure. Wanted these problems
:14:57. > :15:01.simply reappear when the aid runs out? What is the long-term plan?
:15:02. > :15:07.Diame at the moment is to deliver aid to these affected areas. Some of
:15:08. > :15:16.these areas have been besieged for weeks. We had cases like Madaya,
:15:17. > :15:19.where people were starving to death. These are the most affected, badly
:15:20. > :15:26.hit areas and they seem to be a priority. When we were in Munich
:15:27. > :15:32.last week, we looked at many other areas outside of Syria -- throughout
:15:33. > :15:38.Syria. These areas have been identified and the Syrian government
:15:39. > :15:45.has approved trucks to enter these areas. At this stage, but I am sure
:15:46. > :15:49.there will be other stages in the future. Aid has been the focus of
:15:50. > :15:53.the last 48 hours but over the last week, concentrating on Syria, we
:15:54. > :16:03.have mostly talked about Aleppo, Syria's biggest city. There has been
:16:04. > :16:06.an escalation of violence. Government forces are completely
:16:07. > :16:08.surrounded the city and the BBC has gained exclusive material, revealing
:16:09. > :18:25.life under the siege. And if you want more background on
:18:26. > :18:30.what is happening in Syria, you can get it through the BBC news website.
:18:31. > :18:36.A group in the UK says that there are more than 20 teaspoons in sugar
:18:37. > :18:40.-- of sugar in some hot drinks sold on the High Street. And it is not at
:18:41. > :18:42.all impressed by these findings. More detail on what it is saying it
:18:43. > :18:56.should be done in a few minutes. The Canadian plane and train maker
:18:57. > :19:01.bombard EA is the largest manufacturer in Northern Ireland and
:19:02. > :19:06.it has announced plans to cut 1000 jobs in northern Ireland, equivalent
:19:07. > :19:15.to 20% of its workforce. -- Bombardier. The company is also
:19:16. > :19:18.closing 270 posts elsewhere in the country. This was the reaction of
:19:19. > :19:28.some of the workers at its plants in Belfast today.
:19:29. > :19:30.I just hope I'm still employed next year.
:19:31. > :19:39.So it will affect the younger ones more than me.
:19:40. > :19:46.It is shocking, but what can you do? The company has a plan and it is
:19:47. > :19:59.doing its best for us. I am not really sure.
:20:00. > :20:08.Our lead story at the moment is that a car bomb in Ankara in Turkey has
:20:09. > :20:11.killed 28 people, close to the parliament and also Turkey's
:20:12. > :20:20.military headquarters. Some of the main stories, the story that is
:20:21. > :20:24.gripping India. A media tycoon has been formally charged with the
:20:25. > :20:28.murder of his stepdaughter. He is the former CEO of Star India. The
:20:29. > :20:36.BBC India as the story. Indonesia has banned tumbler. The Indonesian
:20:37. > :20:40.government says the site has been distributing porn. -- has banned
:20:41. > :20:43.Tumblr. Recently, a messaging app had to block gay orgies or face a
:20:44. > :21:09.ban. -- gay emojis. That is on the BBC news up.
:21:10. > :21:14.Let's talk about a face-off between Apple and the FTI because they will
:21:15. > :21:19.contest the court order instructing it to help FBI investigators access
:21:20. > :21:23.data on the iPhone of the man behind the San Bernardino gun attack. I am
:21:24. > :21:26.sure you will remember this. It happened in December, an attack on a
:21:27. > :21:32.social services centre in San Bernardino in Southern California.
:21:33. > :21:37.14 people lost their lives. Earlier today, Apple posted this statement
:21:38. > :21:43.on its website. It was a message to all of us taking an interest in the
:21:44. > :21:47.story. In it, they explained why they were against the order. Let's
:21:48. > :21:53.speak to Michelle Fleury, live from New York. To be honest, I thought,
:21:54. > :21:57.how can Apple contest this? If you were told to do something by the
:21:58. > :22:04.court, don't you have to follow those orders? Nobody is contesting
:22:05. > :22:09.or debating whether the FBI issued access the phone, which was a
:22:10. > :22:13.company formed that they were given authority to take hold of. What is
:22:14. > :22:21.at stake here is this. When you use a phone, often you can put in a
:22:22. > :22:25.security code, and have about ten attempts before the iPhone actually
:22:26. > :22:29.starts to wipe data off your phone as part of a security measure, in
:22:30. > :22:35.the event that it was stolen. What the FBI are asking for is that Apple
:22:36. > :22:39.help them come up with a software, allowing it to make more than ten
:22:40. > :22:44.attempts at putting in a pass code, so that they can have an unlimited
:22:45. > :22:48.goal at trying to crack the code. Apple is pushing back and here is
:22:49. > :22:51.what is at stake according to privacy experts. They say they do
:22:52. > :22:56.not want to set a precedent that could actually fundamentally change
:22:57. > :23:01.how safe are our information is on the phone. That this would actually
:23:02. > :23:04.be about creating a back door to allow people to get into phones. On
:23:05. > :23:07.this occasion it is the government but the case being made by Apple is
:23:08. > :23:13.that next time it could be a hacker or a repressive regime or a
:23:14. > :23:17.terrorist organisation and this is why they say that they are prepared
:23:18. > :23:25.to fight this ruling by an American court. Very interesting. Let's find
:23:26. > :23:30.out about a British campaign group which has been investigating sugar,
:23:31. > :23:34.more specifically the amounts of sugar in some hot drinks for sale on
:23:35. > :23:39.the High Street in the UK. They say that some of the drinks they
:23:40. > :23:47.measured have over 20 teaspoons of sugar.
:23:48. > :23:48.A daily routine or an occasional treat?
:23:49. > :23:51.New research suggests some hot drinks from high street cafes should
:23:52. > :23:54.The report today by campaigners Action on Sugar says that
:23:55. > :23:56.many of these drinks are excessively sweet.
:23:57. > :24:00.It analysed 131 of them from nine of the biggest chains in the UK
:24:01. > :24:05.and found that 98% had high levels of sugar.
:24:06. > :24:10.To put it in context, this can of cola contains nine
:24:11. > :24:13.teaspoons of sugar but compare that to this caramel latte,
:24:14. > :24:22.And this chai latte containing 20 teaspoons of sugar.
:24:23. > :24:27.The worst offender is this hot mulled fruit drink containing 25
:24:28. > :24:43.Eating a lot of sugar is linked to increased risks of obesity. But if
:24:44. > :24:47.we're going out to our coffee shop and driving three times the maximum
:24:48. > :24:56.recommended sugar in one drink, that is an excessive amount. We asked
:24:57. > :24:57.what they thought -- people thought about a drink with twice as much
:24:58. > :25:02.sugar as a can of cola. That does surprise me
:25:03. > :25:07.that it is double. I don't order drinks like that
:25:08. > :25:11.for that very reason. Starbucks responded saying
:25:12. > :25:14.it is committed to reducing sugar by 25% by 2020 and already offers
:25:15. > :25:19.a wide range of lighter options. Costa said it had already
:25:20. > :25:32.taken significant steps Pressure has been growing for the
:25:33. > :25:35.government to bring in a tax on sugary drinks after evidence from
:25:36. > :25:40.abroad that it can choose the amount that people buy. A decision is
:25:41. > :25:42.expected on its much delayed obesity strategy, which might be published
:25:43. > :25:59.over the next few weeks. I will be back in a couple of
