:00:10. > :00:13.Turkish and EU leaders have been meeting all day to try and agree
:00:14. > :00:16.new plans to respond to the migrant crisis.
:00:17. > :00:20.The latest we are hearing from Brussels is that there is no
:00:21. > :00:22.agreement yet. While that's happening in Brussels,
:00:23. > :00:24.the number of migrants stuck We'll hear from Christian Fraser
:00:25. > :00:36.on the Greece-Macedonia border. We will report on the big story of
:00:37. > :00:39.the day in the sporting world, Maria Sharapova has admitted to failing a
:00:40. > :00:44.drugs test in the Australian open, we will play some of that statement
:00:45. > :00:48.she made an hour ago. If you have questions about the stories we are
:00:49. > :01:02.covering, if you use this hashtag, we will pick up on your comments.
:01:03. > :01:17.And the conflicts contributing to it. EU and Turkish leaders have met
:01:18. > :01:23.up in Brussels. A statement coming through, this button means we can
:01:24. > :01:31.access the news agency copy coming in.
:01:32. > :01:36.It seems a deal will be made today. No doubt negotiations will go on.
:01:37. > :01:42.Many of those arriving into the EU are coming from Syria. Many people
:01:43. > :01:46.have been living with a conflict that has reached a five-year mark.
:01:47. > :01:49.There is rarely good news coming from this.
:01:50. > :01:53.It's one of the opposition groups confirming it'll go to Geneva
:01:54. > :02:03.Remarkably a 'cessation of hostilities' in Syria has
:02:04. > :02:10.for the most part held over the last 10 days.
:02:11. > :02:12.But control of the country is still incredibly complicated -
:02:13. > :02:22.You can see by all of these different colours, these areas are
:02:23. > :02:26.controlled by different groups. Some by the government, it illustrates
:02:27. > :02:27.how complex the situation is. It will not be resolved easily or any
:02:28. > :02:29.time soon. Lyse Doucet has reported on this
:02:30. > :02:31.conflict throughout. Lyse is back in Damascus -
:02:32. > :02:34.this is her latest report. This is the quietest period
:02:35. > :02:40.that Syrians have seen It doesn't mean there
:02:41. > :02:50.are not violations - This is an agreement where the most
:02:51. > :02:54.extremist groups here, including the so-called
:02:55. > :02:56.Islamic State, the Al-Qaeda linked Nusra front, are not
:02:57. > :02:58.part of this deal. But this is giving a real
:02:59. > :03:00.desperately needed respite. Not just for the people
:03:01. > :03:03.here in central Damascus, But in rebel held strongholds,
:03:04. > :03:06.some of which are just But it will take a lot more
:03:07. > :03:11.than this to convince Syrians that there is a future
:03:12. > :03:13.for them here. They could be forgiven
:03:14. > :03:15.for being deeply sceptical because they have seen
:03:16. > :03:18.so many broken promises Most Syrians, I think,
:03:19. > :03:22.for this uprising would last a year Maybe two years, three years,
:03:23. > :03:27.four years, and now it has gone into the fifth year,
:03:28. > :03:29.a war of our time - not just a Syrian war,
:03:30. > :03:33.a war which is drawn in the region, of course all of Europe
:03:34. > :03:35.with its migration crisis, as well as the rising threat
:03:36. > :03:38.of the so-called Islamic State. It is everyone's war now
:03:39. > :03:42.and it is going to take a lot of players to try to resolve
:03:43. > :03:44.it, hence the reason why families are hedging their bets
:03:45. > :03:46.and heading to Europe The terrible cost of this war has
:03:47. > :03:57.been well-documented. Coming on for 5 million
:03:58. > :04:09.people have fled abroad. And while the majority live
:04:10. > :04:13.in neighbouring countries like Jordan, Lebanon and Turkey -
:04:14. > :04:26.thousands try to head into Europe. Those who do go to Turkey, some seem
:04:27. > :04:32.to move further, across the waters into Greece, most aim to enter
:04:33. > :04:36.central and northern Europe in time. It has become complicated because of
:04:37. > :04:40.what is happening on the border between Greece and Macedonia,
:04:41. > :04:42.Macedonia has restricted the flow of migrants, causing back-up on the
:04:43. > :04:46.border. About 14,000 are thought
:04:47. > :04:48.to be stuck at Idomeni. He's been telling me what conditions
:04:49. > :04:56.are normally like there. People would be right now
:04:57. > :04:58.lighting their campfires, huddling round trying to keep
:04:59. > :05:00.warm, but as you can see tonight we have had
:05:01. > :05:03.torrential downpour here, Just at my feet here you can see
:05:04. > :05:09.the rivers of water which are now This was a miserable place
:05:10. > :05:13.in the sunshine this morning. No way for them
:05:14. > :05:18.to keep the tent dry. There are three and four people
:05:19. > :05:25.to each of these tents. On the road here, if I just
:05:26. > :05:28.walk across this puddle, you can still see people walking
:05:29. > :05:31.up and down the road, and that is because the food tents,
:05:32. > :05:34.the food stations, are further down here, so they are queueing
:05:35. > :05:36.without proper rain clothes, in the rain,
:05:37. > :05:38.trying to get a cup of soup, a roll, something to eat
:05:39. > :05:41.for the evening, but then when they get back to the tents
:05:42. > :05:44.of course there is no way This was really a camp that was only
:05:45. > :05:49.built for 2000 people and now there are 14,000,
:05:50. > :05:52.mostly Syrians, living in the camp. The UNHCR says 60%
:05:53. > :05:55.of them are women and children, and I was talking
:05:56. > :05:57.to the parents of very Already we are starting
:05:58. > :06:01.to see sickness. Imagine what it is going to be
:06:02. > :06:05.like tomorrow amid all this. Christian, when you are talking
:06:06. > :06:07.to them, where would Well, it's a very different
:06:08. > :06:15.picture to the one I witnessed in Hungary
:06:16. > :06:18.and Serbia in the summer, because that was mostly young men
:06:19. > :06:20.heading into Europe trying What is happening now,
:06:21. > :06:25.it seems to me at least, The families that they left behind
:06:26. > :06:35.have been told to get on the road before the borders close,
:06:36. > :06:38.so they are in a bit of a hurry, and those in this
:06:39. > :06:40.camp, they know they might have already missed
:06:41. > :06:42.their route further north into Croatia, through Slovenia
:06:43. > :06:43.into central Europe, because the Macedonians are only
:06:44. > :06:46.letting through around 300 Bear in mind there are some 2000
:06:47. > :06:50.arriving every day on the islands, so Greece at the moment,
:06:51. > :06:53.with around 33,000 migrants as we speak, is a holding pen
:06:54. > :06:57.for the rest of Europe. All the refugees are
:06:58. > :06:59.congregating here. There is nowhere for them
:07:00. > :07:02.to go and very little movement on Brussels on that
:07:03. > :07:04.relocation programme they had agreed So frustrations
:07:05. > :07:08.and impatience rising in this camp and no sign
:07:09. > :07:24.they are going to be able to move We've been reporting on the migrants
:07:25. > :07:28.as they come into Europe and negotiations in Brussels between
:07:29. > :07:32.Turkey and the EU. We were speaking to Damian Carrasco said earlier,
:07:33. > :07:38.highlighting that Turkey wishes to put its succession to the EU on the
:07:39. > :07:40.agenda. From the Netherlands, one viewer
:07:41. > :07:43.said that if Turkey wants to join the EU, they have to do something
:07:44. > :07:47.about freedom of the press. If you are still watching, Damian
:07:48. > :07:51.and other journalists have highlighted this, EU members are
:07:52. > :07:55.already saying there are a number of significant stumbling blocks before
:07:56. > :08:00.these talks begin about Turkish membership and EU freedom of the
:08:01. > :08:03.press is one of them. This is the hashtag.
:08:04. > :08:07.Thank you. Let's look at the sport as we always
:08:08. > :08:12.do at this time of day. One story will break well out of the sports
:08:13. > :08:16.News, it is a story anywhere in the programme, Maria Sharapova has given
:08:17. > :08:20.a statement in the last couple of hours, saying she failed a drugs
:08:21. > :08:25.test at the Australian open. This is her statement.
:08:26. > :08:34.I take great responsibility and professionalism in my job, every
:08:35. > :08:40.single day. I made a huge mistake. I've let my fans down, I've let the
:08:41. > :08:49.sport down. I've been playing it since the age of four. I've loved it
:08:50. > :08:59.so deeply. I know that with this, I face consequences. And I don't want
:09:00. > :09:03.to end my career this way. I really hope that I will be given another
:09:04. > :09:07.chance to play this game. Interesting to hear her say that, I
:09:08. > :09:11.think most people were expecting her to announce her retirement. She has
:09:12. > :09:14.not but she has failed a drugs test. We will see if she receives a
:09:15. > :09:20.punishment. Full coverage is on the front page
:09:21. > :09:24.of the BBC sport website. We were expecting it to be about
:09:25. > :09:25.retirement, this was a retirement that was well telegraphed, from the
:09:26. > :09:27.NFL. It's Peyton Manning
:09:28. > :09:38.of the Denver Broncos. There a scripture reading, I have
:09:39. > :09:44.fought a good fight and finished the race, I have kept the faith. Well, I
:09:45. > :09:51.fought a good fight, I've finished my football race. And after 18
:09:52. > :09:56.years, it is time. God bless all of you, and God bless football.
:09:57. > :09:58.APPLAUSE And emotional Peyton Manning.
:09:59. > :10:05.He won two Superbowls - including one just a few weeks ago.
:10:06. > :10:13.Anthony Zurcher, we normally talk to him about politics, but we can talk
:10:14. > :10:17.to him about sport as well. Read a quote about the senior management --
:10:18. > :10:21.from the senior management saying that he revolutionised the sport,
:10:22. > :10:25.how did he do that? He was not the strongest quarterback, he did not
:10:26. > :10:32.have the strongest arm. He could not run very fast, he was an gamely but
:10:33. > :10:37.a pure tactician. Could pick up the defence like no other quarterback
:10:38. > :10:41.like their -- out there. There a sports cliche, but he really was a
:10:42. > :10:45.coach on the field. If you gave him enough time behind a strong
:10:46. > :10:50.offensive line, you could throw the ball down the field and score. He
:10:51. > :10:56.set the record of most touchdowns of any quarterback in NFL history. And
:10:57. > :11:00.most offensive yards passing in NFL history. He changed how the
:11:01. > :11:02.quarterback looks at the game. You mentioned the rest go for passing
:11:03. > :11:10.yards, people yards, people were drawn attention
:11:11. > :11:15.to that. It means he completes passes again and again? Yes, they
:11:16. > :11:21.throw the ball and hit the big pass play. He excelled in short passes,
:11:22. > :11:25.being able to read the defense and find the open receiver. He would
:11:26. > :11:30.move the ball at a fast pace so that they could not adjust. He got a lot
:11:31. > :11:34.of yards throughout his 18 year career. That's me ask about a number
:11:35. > :11:38.of allegations circulating about things he may or may not have done
:11:39. > :11:44.when he was younger. I was not expecting him to face them down but
:11:45. > :11:51.he addressed it directly? Yes, he talked about sexual assault
:11:52. > :11:52.allegations when he was a player at college in Tennessee. He dismissed
:11:53. > :12:03.them, not wanting to create -- to talk about them.
:12:04. > :12:05.It was when he was 19. He did not have anything to say
:12:06. > :12:10.about that. We will talk about US politics, a
:12:11. > :12:17.more familiar subject for Anthony Zurcher, that's on the website.
:12:18. > :12:21.Serious attack earlier in southern Tunisia.
:12:22. > :12:26.Islamists attacked army and police bases.
:12:27. > :12:30.Close to the coast in the south of Tunisia.
:12:31. > :12:32.At least 45 people died - most were militants.
:12:33. > :12:34.We're told the situation's now under control.
:12:35. > :12:43.The dusty sleepy border town of Ben Guerdane is tense.
:12:44. > :12:46.Residents woke up the scenes of some of the deadliest
:12:47. > :12:48.clashes witnessed in the country to date.
:12:49. > :12:50.The street battles between security forces and militantss
:12:51. > :12:55.erupted after two simultaneous attacks on army and police bases
:12:56. > :13:01.Remnants on these streets show the aftermath of bloody clashes
:13:02. > :13:05.It is believed that up to 30 militantss
:13:06. > :13:11.The Tunisian army and police also took some heavy losses,

:13:24. > :13:26.TRANSLATION: Today's attacks on the security
:13:27. > :13:35.forces in Ben Guerdane started at 5am and were unprecedented.
:13:36. > :13:38.It was organised, and the aim was probably
:13:39. > :13:41.to control the area and declare a new state.
:13:42. > :13:47.But Tunisia is also the largest exporter of jihadists in the region
:13:48. > :13:49.who end up fighting in Iraq, Syria and Libya.
:13:50. > :13:52.At least 3000 have left this country in recent

:14:36. > :14:42.In a few moments time, I will play this report from Brazil, the BBC has
:14:43. > :14:45.been speaking to scientists about the Zika virus, there are
:14:46. > :14:47.predictions there could be another spike in cases in eight or nine
:14:48. > :14:54.months' time. Shares in the French energy firm EDF
:14:55. > :15:01.have fallen sharply. After the resignation
:15:02. > :15:09.of its chief financial officer. It will be the first nuclear plant
:15:10. > :15:14.to be built in return for a generation.
:15:15. > :15:18.Hinkley Point C they will also be one of the most expensive man mage
:15:19. > :15:27.drudges anywhere in the world. Which is why this man has resigned from
:15:28. > :15:30.EDF. As Chief finance officer at the huge French firm, he believed
:15:31. > :15:35.pressing ahead with the project now will put the whole company in
:15:36. > :15:41.jeopardy. Make no mistake, Hinkley Point will be a hugely expensive
:15:42. > :15:48.power plant. The projected cost is ?18 billion. But the final sum could
:15:49. > :15:53.be much higher. Now, EDF's Chinese partner will pay about a third of
:15:54. > :15:57.that, but EDF has defined the rest. The British government is
:15:58. > :16:03.guaranteeing the French energy giant this. More than ?90 per megawatt
:16:04. > :16:06.hour. That is the price to be paid for all of the electricity that
:16:07. > :16:12.Hinkley Point will generate, more than double the price today. EDF's
:16:13. > :16:17.finances are under strain, the new plants here in France and in Finland
:16:18. > :16:21.are over budget, and behind schedule. Revenues have been hit by
:16:22. > :16:26.falling power prices, and with mounting costs ahead, French unions,
:16:27. > :16:31.which sit on EDF's board, believe Hinkley Point should be delayed.
:16:32. > :16:40.I think we have to wait to go ahead with Hinkley Point because we have
:16:41. > :16:43.four reactors in construction, and zero are working. At a summit last

:16:51. > :16:54.pillar of the Anglo-French relationship -- president. Again
:16:55. > :16:59.they pledged their support, but the critics are unconvinced. The facts
:17:00. > :17:07.are that the reactor is not good, the deal is not a good deal. EDF is
:17:08. > :17:12.in a powerless financial state, it looks as if we had to find a way out
:17:13. > :17:17.of this mess. EDF say they will take a decision on the project in the
:17:18. > :17:22.near future, now there is one less senior executive to oppose a deal.

:19:52. > :19:55.no idea that it could be so harmful. There was very little research done.
:19:56. > :19:59.We knew little about it. I went with health workers to visit one of the

:22:29. > :22:37.comes to the position, the way you hold the sheep, the technique, your
:22:38. > :22:43.gear and your cut, there are all different kinds of sheep so I have a
:22:44. > :22:47.lot of cones. Daniel McIntyre, the reigning
:22:48. > :22:54.Australian champion! Before the start, I'd take a deep breath, fill
:22:55. > :23:00.my lungs up with and try to relax. -- with air and tried to relax. You
:23:01. > :23:09.have to drag the sheep out in a relaxed state and begin to Shia
:23:10. > :23:16.straightaway. We have a pattern, we try to cut the flat surfaces of the
:23:17. > :23:24.sheep. Positioning it in a way that the sheep flattens out. You move
:23:25. > :23:30.into your hind leg, up the neck and onto the longbow, then down the
:23:31. > :23:35.backside. You have to find the right balance between speed and quality.
:23:36. > :23:39.You cannot go all for speed, you need the quality aspect as well. A
:23:40. > :23:46.perfectly shorn sheep would look like a hard-boiled egg after you've
:23:47. > :23:53.taken the shell. No bridges, cuts. Just all of the wall completely off

:24:02. > :24:04.more about beating yourself than the bloke beside you. That
:24:05. > :24:10.accomplishment is something I've worked hard for since I left school
:24:11. > :24:15.and it fills you up inside I guess, yes.
:24:16. > :24:20.That is seriously impressive! Back to our top story, the Europe migrant
:24:21. > :24:25.crisis and the EU trying to respond. This often comes up, asking why the
:24:26. > :24:29.BBC refers to refugees as migrants, how do we choose whether to say
:24:30. > :24:33.refugee crisis or migrant crisis. We'd been asked a number of times,
:24:34. > :24:41.there's a full explanation on the BBC website. On exactly why we use
:24:42. > :24:48.these words in certain circumstances. Here is why.
:24:49. > :24:51.That's part of the explanation, there's more detail online if you
:24:52. > :24:54.like it. Thanks for the questions, we are
:24:55. > :24:59.happy to answer them if we can. See you goodbye.
:25:00. > :25:11.-- see you tomorrow, goodbye. After a fairly wintry feeling weak,
:25:12. > :25:15.we are stepping into the second week of spring, meteorological speaking,
