These are some of the main stories. The German and French leaders have

defended Europe against remarks by Donald Trump who praised Britain's

voted to leave the European Union and said he believed other countries

would follow suit. In Kurdistan the death toll from a Boeing 747

aeroplane crash has gone over 30. It crashed into a village close to the

airport where it was trying to land. We will have some of the best squash

action from New York and we will have astonishing footage of the solo

race around the world. And we have got a report from South Korea about

an effort to rehouse dogs who have been bred for eating.

If you are a regular viewer, you know you can access everything

coming through the BBC newsroom via our screen. Some important breaking

news coming from Turkey. This is writers quoting a newspaper website,

and elsewhere in Turkish media, the new year's Eve Istanbul nightclub

attack, or the suspect, has been caught in Istanbul. You will

remember the attack on New Year's Eve, 39 people lost their lives and

over 600 were in the nightclub that was attacked. Since then there have

been huge efforts to find the chief suspect. There is speculation he may

come from satchel Asia, although that has not been confirmed. He has

been found according to the news media. I will bring more

confirmation when we get it. In the meantime, that Donald Trump

interview with The Times newspaper. Let's focus on what he said about

Brexit. I thought the UK was so smart in getting out. You were there

and you guys wrote it and put it on the front page. Donald Trump said

that Brexit was going to happen. Yes. Right? And it happened and

everyone thought I was crazy. Barack Obama said, they are going to the

back of the line. Now we are at the front of the cube. I think you are

doing great. Countries want their own identity. The UK wanted its own

identity, but I do believe this. If they had not been forced to take in

all of the refugees, so many of them and with all the problems that

entails, you would not have a Brexit. It probably would have

worked out. A lot of you have seen that clip and noted what my

colleague, Tom Baker men, notice, it is Donald Trump seems to be

confusing refugees and EU migrants regarding the Brexit vote. Britain

was not forced to take any refugees in the last 12 months. While Michael

Gove was doing the interview for the Times, he was the senior member of

the government who decided to campaign for Brexit in the spring of

last year. After David Cameron resign he announced he would run for

the leadership of the Conservative Party, but he did not win and he was

sacked from the government by Theresa May. But he remains a

Conservative member of Parliament. Here he is today discussing the

experience of interviewing Donald Trump. He managed to generate from

him compelling news on a variety of issues, including the commitment to

a rapid trade deal with Theresa May. Do you trust that? Even if you take

Syria, he was praising Russia by getting involved in the Syrian

conflict because they were bashing Isis. Now he has said it has helped

cause a humanitarian crisis. Which is it? These are diametrically

opposite views. When he says he wants a quick trade deal, do you

trust him? President Donald Trump will be different from candidate

Donald Trump. Some people might say that is a good thing or a bad thing.

Some people say it is a dangerous thing. Some things he said as

candidates are deeply worrying and I hope he rows back from some of the

things he said. Brexit inevitably featured in the interview with the

President elect and it will be a central issue of the major speech by

Theresa May on Tuesday. Some analysts think that speech helps us

understand what has happened to the pound today. It has reached a

three-month low. It is lower than it has been for three months. We cannot

be sure that the connection is exact, but lots of analysts are

saying so. The Prime Minister cannot promise to get into talks on trade

deals with the President elect yet. That process cannot start until the

UK is out of the European Union. He is Rob Watson, our political

correspondent. It depends on what you mean by the word quick. It is

absolutely true, until it has left the EU, part of the rules of the

membership of the EU is you cannot cut a trade deal until you leave the

EU. We are talking about two years in the shortest. But nonetheless,

some people will like the tone of Donald Trump. I am going to be crude

about this. There is one school of thought and summer assay it is

brilliant, it strengthens Theresa May's hand in the negotiations with

the EU because she can say, I will get a trade deal with the richest

country in the world. The diametrically opposed view is what

are we doing? What is Britain doing getting too close to someone like

Donald Trump? He is a person that many persons were describing as

unfit for office. It cuts both ways. Is this a bit delicate? Theresa May

has not met Donald Trump yet and already somebody she defeated in the

leadership race has. Yes, it is. A lot of people where I work are

saying there is something awful about the British Government having

to suck up to Donald Trump because it has burned its bridges with the

Brussels. Some people are saying it is shameless and queasy. Lots of

other people on the Brexit sides are saying, come on, of course we have

got to do deals with the US. A word about the speech, we are short on

details, will that change? It is amazing. The referendum was only six

one thing for sure, and that is she one thing for sure, and that is she

once this process to begin before the end of March. What we will learn

is that tomorrow she favours a hard Brexit. She will say something like

we are not going to stay in a little bit, we are going to get out. There

will be extensive coverage of that speech. You can get it on the BBC

News channel or on BBC world News outside the UK. We have got a lot of

sport to get through. We finally know who will replace the Formula

one world champion. The replacement is Valterri Bottas. It is

significant because he will be alongside Lewis Hamilton. Yes, it

will be interesting to see how that relationship unfolds in 2017 when

the season gets under way. It was a name in the frame when Nico Rosberg

surprised many five days after winning the number one spot,

announcing he was going to retire. Valterri Bottas has always been

linked with that vacancy at Mercedes. He has had relative

success with Williams, the team he has been with until today. He picked

up his first podium finish and since then he has finished on the podium

nine times. He has never actually won a race. When he links up with

Lewis Hamilton and Mercedes that will be the first thing on the

agenda, to get that first Formula one top spot under his belt.

Interesting to hear what Lewis Hamilton said on Twitter. He said,

welcome to the team. Perhaps the relationship between them will not

be as combustible as it was with Nico Rosberg last season. Toto

Wolff, the Mercedes team chief, has said, it is time to see how he can

step up to challenge for wins and championships, Valterri Bottas. He

will be expected to challenge for those big wins when the season comes

around. It has left a vacancy at Williams. Felipe Massa will go into

a fourth consecutive season with Williams. He had announced his

retirement at the end of last season, but he is back in the with

Williams. A hugely experienced driver and he is alongside a

relatively inexperienced driver because Williams have announced

their line-up. He is an 18-year-old Canadian, he has been a test driver

with Williams and he has now got the top job alongside Felipe Massa. It

will be interesting to see how he fares because he comes with a huge

amount of money behind him from his father, a Canadian businessman, who

is estimated to be worth 2.4 billion on the Forbes rich list. He has been

instrumental in his son's career and they have moved around the circuit

There is Michael Gove popping up in looking for that

There is Michael Gove popping up in the sport section! But I do not

think it is to do with Chinese football.

Teams in the Chinese Super League will only be allowed to play

three foreign players in the upcoming season.

It says the changes are aimed at addressing

irrational investments - we'll see if they work.

Some of you will be saying, my football club does irrational

investment is no matter what we tell them to do. Carlos Tevez is

reportedly on $740,000 a week. You heard that right. We can hear from

an academic in Massachusetts, but he also writes about Chinese football

for a football blog. Here he is talking about whether he is

surprised at this new rule. I am surprised in some ways. The focus is

you still have five foreign players on a match day squad, but only three

can play. In the past you had five persons at camp and three plus one

in terms of who could play. You had three players from Europe or South

America and one Asian player. It is surprising perhaps, but the goal is

to eliminate some of them, rather than to eliminate the top talent.

Does this mean they are intending to try and win the World Cup? They

realise ultimately the World Cup requires Chinese players, so it

gives more chances for Chinese players to develop their game. It

also requires each match day squad has one player under 23 years old,

so this is a focus on bringing through the youth talent. In the UK

there has been speculation about Diego Costa and whether he will go

to China. Will this new rule affect the kind of money being splashed on

marquee players? It is meant to give a hint to clubs that they should

invest with rationality in mind, whatever that means. But I do think

it is more targeted at limiting races rather than top players coming

to China, so I would not be surprised if Diego Costa made the

move. You have watched Chinese football for a while, is the

standard going up? It definitely is. One thing to emphasise over the past

year is they reward parity. So you have teams like Shanghai who have

great players, so it is not just a power has, it is hopefully more

spread out now. It's a nonstop solo yacht race -

and the Welsh sailor He may have just

broken a world record. It's yet to be verified

but his team says he travelled The race is reaching the sharp end -

there are only a few days to go - Armel Le Clee is leading but that

lead is coming down and down. Hello, everybody, a new 24 hour

record. It feels like a long time coming. I should have broken it two

months ago. Well, I almost did, but less than by one mile. So very happy

about that. Really it is about trying to get as close to our man as

possible and I am struggling a bit and I am not catching him up as much

as I would like. The race is expected to finish on Thursday on

the Atlantic coast on France and all the organisers are predicting a

tight finish. Let's switch from France to New York because squash is

hosting the champion of champions. Grand Central Station with the

squash court right in the middle of it. This is the best rally from over

the weekend. Now the grunting is coming! Wow! The

rocket is going around the court! He will take off in a minute, surely?

That was a very tough rally for both guys. Nicolas Muller against Simon

Rosner. They are training partners. It is the quarterfinals today and

tomorrow we will bring you the best rally at the same time tomorrow. I

want to go back to the story that we broke a few minutes ago about

Turkey. The man widely suspected of being the attacker, in the Istanbul

nightclub were over 30 people lost their lives. There are multiple

sources in Turkish media are all saying the same thing, that the man

whose images have been circulated by the Turkish authorities, there were

suggestions that he may be connected to a central Asian country, and

another said he was connected to China, we do not know, but according

to many sources in the Turkish media, the man whose image was

shared widely by Turkish authorities as they sought the attacker behind

that horror on New Year's Eve, he has been picked up and we expect to

get more details on that perhaps this evening, certainly tomorrow. In

a few minutes I have a report to show you about race relations in the

US. Also what President Obama has achieved. We will play the report in

full in a minute. A year and a half ago 30 British

tourists died in an attack in Tunisia and an inquest said some of

them might be alive if security forces had acted more quickly. Let's

quit more details from Daniela Ralph.

As the hearing began the names of those who died were read out,

followed by a minute's silence, 30 British tourists murdered on

holiday. They included three generations of one family, married

couples and a teenager. The inquest heard they had needlessly lost their

lives. Mobile phone footage shows the chaos and confusion during the

attack. Families watched it in court, listening to the sound of

gunfire and the sense of panic. The gunman was a 23-year-old who was

eventually shot dead by the security forces. But he had been intent on

killing tourists. The inquest also watched CCTV footage from around the

resort, the lone gunman on the beach armed with an automatic weapons and

explosives, and also roaming around inside the hotel, looking for his

next victims. The British police team put together this map of his

movements. The red arrow indicates where he started shooting near the

sun lounges, before moving to the terrace and outdoor pool area and

into the hotel. He killed everywhere he went. There were no clear signs

of police or security guards tried to stop him. The council to the

inquest referred to a statement from a Tunisian witness. She told the

court, he said the security units that should have intervened in the

event deliberately and unjustifiably slowed down to delay their arrival

at the hotel. They had the ability to put an end to the attack before

the police arrived, but wasted a considerable amount of time in

getting to the hotel. These inquests cannot lay blame, but they can offer

guidance. The family is here just want to know how their loved ones

came to die in such a horrifying way.

We are alive in the BBC newsroom, our lead story is that German and

French leaders have responded strongly against comments that

Donald Trump has made praising Brexit. He said the European Union

is a vehicle for Germany and other countries may follow the UK out of

it. It is Martin Luther King Jr. Day in

the US when the civil rights struggles of the 1960s are

remembered. In the final week of the United States' first black

president, how much leeway as Barack Obama made?

There were civil rights battle ground of course across this

country, but few as lethal as those in this state. In one of his last

acts as president, Barack Obama has designated certain sites here in

Alabama important in the civil rights movement as national

monuments and they include this motel which was used as a

headquarters for some time by Martin Luther King. Around the corner

stands a church that was bombed by white supremacists in one of the

pivotal moments. President Obama has now made this a national monument as

well, in honour of the four young girls who were killed. 11-year-old

Denise McNair was one of those who died in the bombing, an event that

sparked national outrage. A church is supposed to be your sanctuary, so

for that to happen in a church, I think those who may have been on the

side of segregation had to take a second look. During his presidency,

Barack Obama paid tribute to the historical events that helped pave

his own way to the White House. He concluded by inviting the McNair

family to Washington. I gave him a big bear hug when I walked into the

room and then he hugged me later on before leaving. But it is for other

reasons that they feel strongly he has lifted up other African

Americans for so years. So long the perception that black was bad. Black

people are not smart enough or kind enough and he dispelled the myth of

all of that. He is highly educated, he is kind and respectful, there

could not have been a better first black American president. Of course,

many others here have been counting down the days until Barack Obama

leaves office and Donald Trump takes over. I believe Barack Obama is the

most divisive president in well over a generation. Why? I believe he

played the race issue. Man should not be judged by the colour of their

king, but of the content of their character and Barack Obama reminded

people of the colour of their skin and forced it to be a racial issue

and that was negative for our country. Bryan Stevenson is one of

the most prominent civil rights lawyers in America today and he is

perplexed by that sentiment. I think he tried really hard to counter the

idea that he was there just for people of colour and his policies

reinforced that. I do not believe you can point to many things that he

did that would be, quote, racially divisive. We had moments in this

country, police shootings being dramatic, that were polarising to

people, but I cannot find much that he did that any other Democrat would

have done. Many of us think he encountered hostility and obstacles

and challenges that he might not have intended. Many others feel

Barack Obama was not given a chance by some simply because he was black.

For a lot of African Americans it is important that race is constantly

being brought up in this country. In spite of the inspiration President

Obama may have provided, and it seems practical inequalities remain.

We are going back to the story that has been breaking. This is a tweet

telling us that the terrorist who attacked the nightclub on New Year's

either in Istanbul has been caught. It was a major police operation and

the man was found with his four-year-old son in a flat. More to

come on that. It looks like our weather will not

be making any headlines
