:00:16. > :00:21.Let's have a look at some of the main stories.
:00:22. > :00:24.The European Union has told Apple to pay back 13bn euros
:00:25. > :00:25.in taxes to Ireland, where the company has
:00:26. > :00:29.It says Ireland offered unfair tax breaks to the company.
:00:30. > :00:36.Nearly 7000 migrants have been appeal the ruling.
:00:37. > :00:45.Nearly 7000 migrants have been rescued off the coast of Italy. We
:00:46. > :00:50.will talk about what we know about the health of the president of
:00:51. > :00:58.Uzbekistan. It isn't clear how he is doing after suffering a stroke. In a
:00:59. > :01:02.few minutes, we will be live at the BBC sports centre to update you on
:01:03. > :01:24.the latest transfer news as we approach transfer deadline day.
:01:25. > :01:33.Let's go to Uzbekistan. We were told the president had had a stroke.
:01:34. > :01:39.Others are denying that. The BBC has not been able to confirm those
:01:40. > :01:45.reports. Uzbekistan became independent in 1991. He has been in
:01:46. > :01:53.charge since before independence. He likes to be in power. All opposition
:01:54. > :02:00.leaders are in exile and the list of human rights abuses in Uzbekistan is
:02:01. > :02:05.very, very long. Who is in power is significant. Not just to Uzbekistan,
:02:06. > :02:12.but Central Asia. Here is Steve Rosenberg in Moscow explaining why.
:02:13. > :02:16.The only have to look at a map of the world to understand that what
:02:17. > :02:21.happens in Uzbekistan is important. This is Central Asia and this, in
:02:22. > :02:25.the heart of the region is Uzbekistan. It is the most populist
:02:26. > :02:35.country in Central Asia, shares a border with all other Central Asian
:02:36. > :02:40.states. Any instability in Uzbekistan can affect the whole
:02:41. > :02:45.region, especially with Afghanistan so close. And in recent weeks there
:02:46. > :02:50.has been an upsurge in fighting in northern Afghanistan close to the
:02:51. > :02:56.borders with Central Asia. It has wide implications and watching
:02:57. > :03:01.closely is Russia and China. Few people have better contacts in
:03:02. > :03:08.Uzbekistan than my colleagues at the BBC World Service. This is what the
:03:09. > :03:12.Central Asia editor could tell me. It is difficult to get reliable
:03:13. > :03:18.information from Uzbekistan. What we have tried to confirm and from very
:03:19. > :03:26.reliable and very close sources to the president, he is still alive.
:03:27. > :03:36.The latest is he is still alive. But the problem is, what you do fine --
:03:37. > :03:44.what do you define as being alive? The life-support machine might be
:03:45. > :03:51.the source of his life now. We know for certain he has had a stroke and
:03:52. > :03:57.he is very poorly. That means someone else is going to have to
:03:58. > :04:01.help run this country. He has been autocratic for many years, who is in
:04:02. > :04:05.a position to start assuming power? There is a constitutional provision
:04:06. > :04:09.that when the president is unable to run the country, the power should go
:04:10. > :04:14.to the chairman of the Senate. But until now, nobody invoked this band
:04:15. > :04:16.of the Constitution. The administration of the Prime Minister
:04:17. > :04:20.runs the country. Generally, the administration and security services
:04:21. > :04:27.in the country are very strong. Apparently they are keeping control
:04:28. > :04:34.of Uzbekistan. There is another story I want to discuss in the
:04:35. > :04:41.region. A car bomb has exploded near the gates of the Chinese embassy.
:04:42. > :04:46.The Deputy Prime Minister saying it was a suicide attack and three
:04:47. > :04:54.embassy staff were wounded. We are thinking, who would be motive right
:04:55. > :05:01.-- who would be motivated to carry out an attack like this? The experts
:05:02. > :05:06.in the area are pointing to the separatists. But at the same time,
:05:07. > :05:12.it might be a cell of the Islamic state as well. They have become very
:05:13. > :05:21.active in Central Asia, there were explosions in Kazakhstan and
:05:22. > :05:27.occasions elsewhere. If you want to listen to the BBC World Service, you
:05:28. > :05:35.can stream it through the website. You can get it on digital radio here
:05:36. > :05:39.in the UK. Now time for the sport. Joe Hart, the second best paid
:05:40. > :05:42.goalkeeper in the world, England international and was the first
:05:43. > :05:48.choice in goal for Manchester City. Not any more. His salary stays, but
:05:49. > :05:54.he has gone on loan to Italy. Let's bring in Damien Johnson from the
:05:55. > :05:59.sports centre. If you'd asked all of us to guess where Joe Hart would be
:06:00. > :06:04.playing, non-mothers would have said Torino. We didn't see this one
:06:05. > :06:09.coming. He has fallen out of favour and Manchester City and the new
:06:10. > :06:12.manager, Pep Guardiola, likes a sweeper keeper, goalkeeper very good
:06:13. > :06:17.with his feet and can stop the player from the back. But Joe Hart
:06:18. > :06:21.doesn't fit the bill. He has cloudier Bravo coming in. Joe Hart
:06:22. > :06:29.was released from the England training camp. He was allowed to go
:06:30. > :06:34.to Torino to negotiate a season-long loan deal. It looks like it is going
:06:35. > :06:39.through. No confirmation the deal will be done tonight, but we expect
:06:40. > :06:44.he will be playing in Italy and sealed the deadline before tomorrow.
:06:45. > :06:49.It is an annual tradition that Arsenal fans get frustrated because
:06:50. > :06:56.Arsene Wenger is not spending enough on new players. He seems to be
:06:57. > :07:01.shifting away from this? He has a tradition of spending the club's
:07:02. > :07:07.money like his own. But interesting development is about people leaving.
:07:08. > :07:10.Tomas Rosicky, been there for ten years at Highbury and at the
:07:11. > :07:17.Emirates Stadium. He is 35, moving back to his hometown club, Sparta
:07:18. > :07:23.Prague in the Czech Republic. Has been dogged by injury. Only made 170
:07:24. > :07:31.appearances, but a favourite with the fans and in a way it is the end
:07:32. > :07:34.of an era with him departing the club. Good to speak to and as
:07:35. > :07:40.transfer deadline day plays out tomorrow, you will be able to see
:07:41. > :07:43.that on the BBC Sport alive page. England are playing Slovakia on
:07:44. > :07:50.Sunday in the World Cup qualifier 's. The World Cup will be in Russia
:07:51. > :07:54.in 2018. There was a press conference featuring the captain,
:07:55. > :07:58.Wayne Rooney. He has been talking about the tournament in Russia being
:07:59. > :08:03.his last international competition. I have had a fantastic international
:08:04. > :08:11.career so far. Played a lot of games and I have enjoyed every minute. But
:08:12. > :08:19.at some point, you know, if it is going to come to an end, whether it
:08:20. > :08:25.is in two years, four years' time, but I think I am still fairly, I am
:08:26. > :08:30.not old, 30 years of age and after Russia, I feel that will be the time
:08:31. > :08:34.for me to say goodbye to international football and my mind
:08:35. > :08:42.is made up. That is down to Sam Allardyce in terms of over the next
:08:43. > :08:46.two years, but that will be my last tournament. If selected, I will have
:08:47. > :08:51.enjoyed some highs and some lows, but I am an immensely proud man.
:08:52. > :08:56.What a day it has been for England's cricketers. They have broken a raft
:08:57. > :09:02.of records, including the record for the highest innings in a one-day
:09:03. > :09:07.international. England racked up 444-3 against Pakistan at Trent
:09:08. > :09:13.Bridge. Pakistan eventually ran out short by 169 runs. Just Butler
:09:14. > :09:20.secured the record. It was really Alex Hales' day. He scored 171 as
:09:21. > :09:25.the highest individual score in a one-day by Ning Lishman. Takes the
:09:26. > :09:29.record from a player back in the 1990s. Just Butler hit the fastest
:09:30. > :09:41.half-century in England colours. Previous record was 443.
:09:42. > :09:50.Congratulations to all of the England team. Now a story from here
:09:51. > :09:57.in the UK. It is about Rosie and Ruby for Mozer. They were joined at
:09:58. > :10:02.the abdomen and only given as slim chance of survival but now they are
:10:03. > :10:04.preparing their first day of school. They had to have an emergency
:10:05. > :10:16.operation to separate them. Like lots of children starting
:10:17. > :10:25.school, Rosie and Ruby are excited It marks a huge milestone
:10:26. > :10:28.in their lives. The girls were born in 2012 joined
:10:29. > :10:30.at the abdomen and needed For mum, Angela,
:10:31. > :10:33.it was a scary time. About four hours after they were
:10:34. > :10:36.born, they went off I was kept at UCH because I'd just
:10:37. > :10:40.had a C section which I was in a room with other women
:10:41. > :10:44.that had their babies. We walked to the theatre
:10:45. > :10:52.with the nurses and the doctors At that point, I could never
:10:53. > :11:01.see this day coming. I sometimes forget how
:11:02. > :11:17.special they are. But when they're being naughty
:11:18. > :11:21.and arguing, I sit down and think and remember what they've been
:11:22. > :11:24.through and how far we've come. The girls know they were
:11:25. > :11:40.once joined together. And Angela's kept all their doctors'
:11:41. > :11:43.notes so they can learn more about their incredible
:11:44. > :11:45.surgery when they're older. It's another milestone
:11:46. > :11:52.that we've reached. I just want them to
:11:53. > :11:54.enjoy their childhood. Be little girls and not have
:11:55. > :11:58.to worry about going into hospital. We'll deal with that when
:11:59. > :12:10.it comes. If you would like to show someone
:12:11. > :12:16.else that report you can get online and share it in all the usual ways.
:12:17. > :12:21.In a few minutes, I will play another video you can find on the
:12:22. > :12:24.BBC. The basis from the Red Hot Chilli Peppers hanging out and
:12:25. > :12:27.jamming with one of the world's most famous gorillas. It is real, and we
:12:28. > :12:40.will play it in a few minutes. Tributes are being paid to a British
:12:41. > :12:46.man who died from wounds he received after trying to save his friend from
:12:47. > :12:52.a fatal stabbing at a backpacker's hostel in Australia. His family said
:12:53. > :12:57.they are proud of him. A 29-year-old Frenchman has been charged with her
:12:58. > :13:02.murder. Don't remember Tom as a victim, but
:13:03. > :13:09.as a friend and cherish his memory. The words of Tom Jackson's sister on
:13:10. > :13:13.the day her brother passed away and the heartfelt tribute of a mother
:13:14. > :13:17.coming to terms with her loss. Sandra Jackson's words are spoken by
:13:18. > :13:24.a family friend. With Tom's passing comet he has taken a piece of my
:13:25. > :13:29.heart with him. I will be for ever grateful to have had this beautiful,
:13:30. > :13:35.unique soul in my life for the last 30 years. Words from Tom's brother
:13:36. > :13:40.Daniel. With Tom being my older brother, he has always been my hero.
:13:41. > :13:45.So to hear him described as such by the rest of the world over the past
:13:46. > :13:50.several days, has just felt like everyone else catching up with me.
:13:51. > :13:55.Tom was stabbed as he tried to save me a little chunk during a knife
:13:56. > :14:01.attack in Townsville in Queensland last week. It is alleged they were
:14:02. > :14:09.attacked by a 29-year-old Frenchman. Tom suffered severe injuries, making
:14:10. > :14:14.him a typically selfless hero. We knew he had been hurt and we knew it
:14:15. > :14:23.was because of bravery. With a very, very proud of him. I was so proud to
:14:24. > :14:27.have known Tom, he is an absolute hero. Australian police are trying
:14:28. > :14:30.to establish the motive of the double murder. Where are they the
:14:31. > :14:33.result of some religious fascination? Was he obsessed with
:14:34. > :14:37.one of his alleged victims, where their drugs or alcohol involved, or
:14:38. > :14:45.psychiatric issues at play. Final words from his brother Daniel. Tom's
:14:46. > :14:51.love was endless. He was a real gift. Not just to his friends and
:14:52. > :14:55.his family, but to anyone he came across. We are all poorer for his
:14:56. > :15:19.absence. Our lead story, concerns the
:15:20. > :15:26.European Union ruling against apple, telling them to Payback 13 billion
:15:27. > :15:31.euros to Ireland. That is where the company has its European
:15:32. > :15:38.headquarters. The government of Ireland says it will appeal the
:15:39. > :15:46.ruling. Let's have a look at what you have got coming up. It depends
:15:47. > :15:53.where you are watching. If you are outside the UK, it is world News
:15:54. > :15:57.America. There is a report on the American election. A special report
:15:58. > :16:00.from Ed Thomas on the thousands trying to cross the Mediterranean to
:16:01. > :16:05.reach Italy. Next I have got a report for you
:16:06. > :16:07.about South Africa having the highest reported rate of babies born
:16:08. > :16:14.with the till alcohol syndrome. Children with this syndrome can
:16:15. > :16:18.often suffer brain damage - and the majority in South Africa

:16:53. > :17:08.of abuse at the hands of my children's father

:19:55. > :19:59.about 11,500 years, about the ice age. Have humans change the Earth so
:20:00. > :20:03.much we should add a new time segment to the chart you were just
:20:04. > :20:16.showing and call it the Anthropocene. We will have to decide
:20:17. > :20:20.on a pronunciation. Who decides? It is a committee and they are
:20:21. > :20:24.gathering evidence. What would be a marker, if there were geologists
:20:25. > :20:30.around and they went to a cliff face and said, that's the Anthropocene.
:20:31. > :20:39.What would it constitute? Some have said it should be a tracer plutonium
:20:40. > :20:43.from the bombing tests of the 1950s. This committee is looking at what
:20:44. > :20:48.the market should be and they will gather up and submit it to the
:20:49. > :20:53.national community of geologists who will deliberate and decide. It is
:20:54. > :20:58.not a quick process. It takes a while. He mentioned some of those
:20:59. > :21:04.who are claiming we are in a new era, are saying humans created this
:21:05. > :21:09.new era. I am sure there are some people watching who are thinking it
:21:10. > :21:11.is getting political as well as scientific? Scientists have been
:21:12. > :21:16.gathering evidence for a good number of years, looking at those elements
:21:17. > :21:20.that might be found in the environment and persist there for a
:21:21. > :21:25.very long time. We talked about plutonium, plastics, techno fossils
:21:26. > :21:32.as well. You will find some metals like gold, if you find a la minion
:21:33. > :21:38.in its free-form, it means somebody must have smelt it, because it
:21:39. > :21:43.doesn't exist in a free-form. So in a million years, 2 million years,
:21:44. > :21:48.you could say that marks a time when there was a particular species on
:21:49. > :21:54.earth called humans and they had such a big impact, they changed the
:21:55. > :21:58.face of the earth. That is what we are talking about. Do we go forward
:21:59. > :22:02.and formally recognise this new Epoque to give it its title, and
:22:03. > :22:09.they will decide that over the next few years, but it is not a quick
:22:10. > :22:15.process. Whenever it gets completed, Jonathan will be the man to fill us
:22:16. > :22:20.in. Next, we will play you a lovely video featuring an unlikely duo. We
:22:21. > :22:26.have Flea, a guitarist in the red-hot chilli Peppers. And we have
:22:27. > :22:34.Koko, the only talking gorilla in the world. Flea is in the UK because
:22:35. > :22:38.the Red Hot Chilli Peppers were playing the Redding Festival at the
:22:39. > :22:51.weekend. He is talking about his time with Koko.
:22:52. > :23:02.I have been a fan of Koko's since the 80s when I first saw the book
:23:03. > :23:06.which had pictures of her with her kittens. The image of this massive,
:23:07. > :23:12.powerful animal, cuddling these little kittens so gently and playing
:23:13. > :23:20.with them and sleeping with them. It struck me so remarkably and then
:23:21. > :23:23.learning that she knew over 1000 signs, and communicated in sign
:23:24. > :23:29.language and spoken English so well. I always fantasised about meeting
:23:30. > :23:34.her. I wanted to play for her to see how she liked that.
:23:35. > :23:41.This is the greatest thing that ever happened to me. This is a day I will
:23:42. > :23:47.never forget in my life. It was just a deeply, emotional...
:23:48. > :23:53.Everything I could have hoped it could possibly be, it was more. We
:23:54. > :23:59.really connected and became friends, cuddled and laughed, played games. I
:24:00. > :24:06.played for her and she loved it. She played the base and I was showing
:24:07. > :24:08.her how it worked and she was fascinated and interested and really
:24:09. > :24:11.paid attention. These turn also. But you don't want
:24:12. > :24:30.to turn them too much. Looking in Koko's eyes and feeling
:24:31. > :24:36.that level of understanding, compassion, gentleness and jury city
:24:37. > :24:43.was just great. It is really hard to describe. The feeling, it was deep.
:24:44. > :24:51.Quite something, that is Flea from the Red Hot Chilli Peppers. You can
:24:52. > :24:57.get that online from BBC News. That is it that this addition, if you are
:24:58. > :25:03.outside the UK, it is world News America now. But if you are in the
:25:04. > :25:05.UK, it is the news at ten. I will see you the same time tomorrow.
:25:06. > :25:09.Goodbye.
