:01:43. > :02:00.been out on the streets of Caracas Prayers before the storm. This group
:02:01. > :02:04.carries out this ritual before every anti-government protest in Caracas.
:02:05. > :02:11.After almost 100 deaths and thousands of arrests, no wonder they
:02:12. > :02:15.feel the need to pray. Numerous Venezuelans have taken to the

:02:20. > :02:23.severe food and medicine shortages, but also against his plans to
:02:24. > :02:28.rewrite the constitution. On the front line of every protest, there
:02:29. > :02:32.is a group of young men and women who call themselves the resistance.
:02:33. > :02:40.forces, the heavy-handed response. forces, the heavy-handed response.
:02:41. > :02:45.Often, it's a one-sided battle. This is what normally ends up happening
:02:46. > :02:49.almost every day. For more than three months, protests end up in
:02:50. > :02:54.violent clashes where young men, young students, boys and girls could
:02:55. > :02:58.end up injured and some even killed. Many of the students in the
:02:59. > :03:02.resistance shy away from the media to avoid exposure. But a group of
:03:03. > :03:07.them has agreed to meet me at this university. I was a student here
:03:08. > :03:11.myself. In my day, we were protesting against rising bus fares.
:03:12. > :03:14.Today, it's a rather more desperate story. We have concealed their
:03:15. > :03:21.identities and changed their voices to protect them. The way I see it,
:03:22. > :03:24.the resistance is everybody who is against the regime. Many see it as a
:03:25. > :03:29.dictatorship and if you look at what they are doing, that is what it is.
:03:30. > :03:34.At the moment, there are even try to change our constitution, which is
:03:35. > :03:38.what all our ancestors fought for. I think the resistance is those people
:03:39. > :03:42.who come out to protest and are willing to take the lead to confront
:03:43. > :03:45.the police or the National Guard. Many of the students I met told me
:03:46. > :03:50.they come from working class areas which have been especially hit hard
:03:51. > :03:53.by the economic collapse. But the Venezuelan government accuses them
:03:54. > :03:58.of staging a coup to topple President Maduro. Some have labelled
:03:59. > :04:01.us as terrorists, but I think that all of us youth who make up the
:04:02. > :04:06.resistance are brave fighters. We are defending our people from the
:04:07. > :04:11.government's brutal repression. Venezuela's State attorney has said
:04:12. > :04:18.that the government's actions can be called state terrorism. Thousands
:04:19. > :04:22.have been put in jail, some taken to military court, and others have
:04:23. > :04:27.still been held even after a judge ordered their release. I posed these
:04:28. > :04:32.issues to a Venezuelan high-ranking minister who gave a rare interview
:04:33. > :04:36.to the BBC. He passed the responsibility back to the Attorney
:04:37. > :04:41.General. TRANSLATION: There have been more than 100 people killed in
:04:42. > :04:44.street protests, but out of these, almost 20 our national guardsmen or
:04:45. > :04:49.policeman, killed with home-made rocket launchers. Why is the
:04:50. > :04:53.Attorney General not making any comment about this? I would not
:04:54. > :04:57.hesitate to say that she is responsible Matthew dereliction of
:04:58. > :05:04.duty, for the deaths that have occurred on the streets of Caracas.
:05:05. > :05:07.As the death toll rises, the protests in Caracas are now
:05:08. > :05:11.increasingly followed by vigils like this one to remember the dead. For
:05:12. > :05:17.everyone in this city, the focus is now on Sunday. That is the date for
:05:18. > :05:17.a vote to elect a new assembly tasked with rewriting Venezuelan's
:05:18. > :05:29.constitution. As we were coming to add, the
:05:30. > :05:30.Venezuelan government issued a ban on all protests, starting from
:05:31. > :05:33.Friday. Maria Corina Machado is a member
:05:34. > :05:35.of the Venezuelan opposition. She says Venezuela has reached
:05:36. > :05:38."breaking point" and the next few days, she said, will be crucial
:05:39. > :05:44.to the future of her country. I certainly believe the Nicolas
:05:45. > :05:51.Maduro regime is at a critical moment, because everything they do,
:05:52. > :05:59.if they decide to suspend or stop the assembly, that would prove the
:06:00. > :06:05.weakness of the regime is profound. That would mean that our struggle
:06:06. > :06:11.has brought results, and we will move ahead in demanding regime
:06:12. > :06:20.change. If he decides to maintain and imposed by force this process on
:06:21. > :06:25.Sunday, the world has already advised of the consequences this
:06:26. > :06:28.would have, because it would mean that the last element of the
:06:29. > :06:40.Republic has been torn down. So either decision he makes will mean
:06:41. > :06:41.that Venezuela will face the most complex days in our recent history
:06:42. > :06:49.next week. Plenty more on the BBC website on
:06:50. > :06:50.that story. Right, let's talk about Brexit.
:06:51. > :06:53.Free movement of people between the EU and UK
:06:54. > :06:58.will end in March 2019, UK government ministers have said.
:06:59. > :07:01.From that date, EU workers moving to the UK will have to register,
:07:02. > :07:02.at least until a permanent post-Brexit immigration
:07:03. > :07:17.We are very clear about this, as is the Home Secretary in her notes that
:07:18. > :07:21.she has outlined. Free movement ends when we leave the European Union. We
:07:22. > :07:24.have also been clear about having a smooth process that ensures that our
:07:25. > :07:30.economy continues to prosper and we see jobs grow. We want to see that
:07:31. > :07:33.continue, and the commission's work will help inform what industry needs
:07:34. > :07:37.within the new structure of immigration as we go forward.
:07:38. > :07:42.Chris Mason is at Westminster. Chris, the government firstly has to
:07:43. > :07:47.understand who is coming here and what purpose they serve within the
:07:48. > :07:50.British economy. Yeah. What the British government has to wrestle
:07:51. > :07:56.with is the obvious but profound consequence of leaving the European
:07:57. > :07:58.Union and Brexit - areas of political policy-making which until
:07:59. > :08:03.now for a generation have been outsourced to Brussels as a result
:08:04. > :08:07.of the UK's membership of the EU will suddenly become policy that is
:08:08. > :08:11.discussed and decided upon here at Westminster. So the government is
:08:12. > :08:17.having to draw up an immigration policy the day after UK leads the
:08:18. > :08:20.European Union in March 2019, and so examine what the consequences would
:08:21. > :08:26.be of cutting the number of migrants coming from the European Union. What
:08:27. > :08:29.would be the consequence for particular industries and regions?
:08:30. > :08:32.Lots of people in the UK were motivated to vote to leave the
:08:33. > :08:36.European Union by an expectation that that would mean a cut in
:08:37. > :08:39.immigration. The government is committed to reducing net migration
:08:40. > :08:43.to the tens of thousands. It currently stands at around a quarter
:08:44. > :08:47.of a million. But the government has to weigh that up alongside the
:08:48. > :08:52.potential economic consequences of being seen to cut migration to
:08:53. > :08:55.quickly. We have to remind people that if you break one of the four
:08:56. > :08:59.freedoms that form part of the single market, which is the free
:09:00. > :09:04.movement of people, you can't be in the single market. This poses the
:09:05. > :09:08.opposition Labour Party a problem, because they are saying they want to
:09:09. > :09:12.try and find a way to retain everything they had in the single
:09:13. > :09:16.market. Yeah, so many questions around the flavour of Brexit that
:09:17. > :09:21.the UK might eventually sign up to come back to this fundamental
:09:22. > :09:26.quandary about the EU's insistence that if you are in the single market
:09:27. > :09:29.and you accept the free movement of goods and services and capital, you
:09:30. > :09:33.also have to accept the free movement of people. In other words,
:09:34. > :09:37.handing over immigration policy to Brussels. That is something that
:09:38. > :09:39.most in the UK accept is not politically possible after Brexit,
:09:40. > :09:43.and yet there are lots of voices that would like to see as much
:09:44. > :09:50.freedom as possible as regards those other areas, particularly around
:09:51. > :09:54.trade. That is the tussle, and it is going on in the opposition Labour
:09:55. > :09:59.Party, which is divided enough to contradict itself at the most senior
:10:00. > :10:02.levels, and scratch the surface of the governing Conservative Party and
:10:03. > :10:07.you see those predictions again. Tomorrow morning's Financial Times
:10:08. > :10:11.is reporting that the British finance minister Philip Hammond is
:10:12. > :10:14.arguing for a period after Brexit where you can effectively says
:10:15. > :10:17.within the single market and nothing changes in the short term. Others
:10:18. > :10:21.say that is politically impossible and who knows whether Brussels would
:10:22. > :10:25.allow it anyway. The inevitability at the moment is a huge amount of
:10:26. > :10:33.uncertainty, because no one can know where these negotiations between the
:10:34. > :10:35.UK and the EU will get to. Chris Mason, thank you.
:10:36. > :10:42.More medals have been won in the pool at the World Swimming
:10:43. > :10:44.Championships in Budapest and the quarter-final

:11:02. > :11:09.Championship. England qualified top of group D and are moving into a
:11:10. > :11:14.quarterfinal against France. In the last couple of minutes, a second

:12:10. > :12:14.Very much looking forward to that. There is plenty to look forward to

:12:33. > :12:34.There are growing calls for the chief constable
:12:35. > :12:38.of Police Scotland to step aside while an investigation
:12:39. > :12:40.into allegations of gross misconduct against him is under way.

:12:50. > :12:56.Taking the oath as Chief Constable, Phil Gormley took charge of police
:12:57. > :13:01.Scotland just over 18 months ago. He is now halfway through a three-year
:13:02. > :13:06.contract and under investigation following allegations of gross
:13:07. > :13:10.misconduct. Mr Gormley heads the UK's second largest police force,
:13:11. > :13:14.with more than 17,000 officers under his command. BBC Scotland
:13:15. > :13:17.understands that the allegations of bullying behaviour come from a
:13:18. > :13:24.senior officer who was working at police headquarters. So should the
:13:25. > :13:27.Chief Constable be allowed to remain at work there? This retired senior
:13:28. > :13:31.officer says it is a difficult decision for the police authority
:13:32. > :13:35.which ordered the investigation. They have to be fair to Phil Gormley
:13:36. > :13:41.and make sure they don't prejudge the outcome of the investigation.
:13:42. > :13:44.Secondly, I understand this may relate to some sort of behaviour
:13:45. > :13:49.within the headquarters office. So there will be witnesses, and the
:13:50. > :13:52.question is whether they will be intimidated out of coming forward if
:13:53. > :13:56.the person being complained about is still there. There is now political
:13:57. > :14:00.pressure on the Chief Constable to stand down temporarily while the
:14:01. > :14:03.investigation is conducted. He needs to step to one side. And it would be
:14:04. > :14:09.wise if he took that decision himself. This is a very serious
:14:10. > :14:13.allegation about gross misconduct, so it would not be appropriate for
:14:14. > :14:16.the Chief Constable to remain in position while that investigation is
:14:17. > :14:20.being conducted. This is the latest crisis to hit the national police
:14:21. > :14:30.force since it was formed four years ago. The first Chief Constable
:14:31. > :14:34.announced in August 2015 resigned early over a number of controversial
:14:35. > :14:38.incidents. Last month, Andrew Flanagan, the chair of the Scottish
:14:39. > :14:41.police authority which oversees the force, and announced he was
:14:42. > :14:45.resigning amid allegations of bullying. Now the Chief Constable is
:14:46. > :14:49.under investigation by the independent police investigation and
:14:50. > :14:54.review Commissioner. Mr Gormley lives at Tully Alan Castle the
:14:55. > :14:57.police HQ. So any suggestion that he should take gardening leave while

:16:28. > :16:31.firefighters and troops are working to contain the blaze. Let me show
:16:32. > :16:37.you where about cities. Thousands have been forced to leave their
:16:38. > :16:45.homes, with many spending the night on beaches or in sports halls and
:16:46. > :16:52.other public buildings. It's been another 24 hours of fires, and
:16:53. > :16:55.firefighting. This was Bormes-les-Mimosas, west of St
:16:56. > :17:02.Tropez, and the flames have been spreading again across the windswept
:17:03. > :17:05.ridges. That meant another night on the beach for dozens of
:17:06. > :17:10.holiday-makers forced out of their campsites. They included a Lydia
:17:11. > :17:14.Hall from Sevenoaks, who was about to spend her third night in a
:17:15. > :17:19.sleeping bag, along with her parents and grandparents. What do you think
:17:20. > :17:24.of sleeping on a beach like this? Well, I am 18 and its OK. But for
:17:25. > :17:33.all people like my grandparents, it's not the easiest. If they have a
:17:34. > :17:38.wheelchair, it is difficult. Today, we went out with this team of
:17:39. > :17:42.firefighters. This is the kind of terrain they have to haul up their
:17:43. > :17:58.hosepipes, all in 30 degrees temperatures. They are dancing down
:17:59. > :18:01.dozens of small pockets of fire -- they are dousing damn pockets of
:18:02. > :18:06.fire. And it is not just the firefighting effort from the ground.
:18:07. > :18:11.There goes another load from one of these aircraft, one of dozens we are
:18:12. > :18:16.witnessing this morning as little patches of fire break out. There are
:18:17. > :18:20.the most dangerous ones, which can lead to widespread bushfires which
:18:21. > :18:25.then become out of control. And in wave after wave, the planes kept
:18:26. > :18:33.coming, trying to control fires caused by combustible undergrowth
:18:34. > :18:37.and powerful wins. Translation when the fires combined with the winds,
:18:38. > :18:42.it creates the worst of monsters. It is like a herd of bison storming
:18:43. > :18:45.down a hill, eating up all the vegetation, animals and
:18:46. > :18:50.unfortunately people. When the fires had passed through, this is what

:20:34. > :20:41.already colonised with resistant bacteria, and they might not be part
:20:42. > :20:46.of the infection. If we use antibiotics for longer than
:20:47. > :20:49.required, we are enhancing the chances that those resistant
:20:50. > :20:54.bacteria will take over and colonise us more. And when we have more
:20:55. > :20:55.colonising bacteria that are resistant, they are a reservoir for
:20:56. > :21:03.future infections. But this is just one study and even
:21:04. > :21:08.the report authors said more studies are needed. So for now, the official
:21:09. > :21:12.advice is not changing. People will hear the headlines today without
:21:13. > :21:15.seeing the truth of the story and would decide to take antibiotics for

:21:51. > :22:06.and over to be in a Westminster, lit up to mark 50 years
:22:07. > :22:10.since it enacted the law that partially decriminalised
:22:11. > :22:19.homosexuality. It may have been the beginning of legalisation, but it
:22:20. > :22:22.didn't stop the arrests. After 1967, Pride celebrations became annual
:22:23. > :22:26.events promoting equality and challenging prejudice. But over the
:22:27. > :22:29.decades, thousands of gay or bisexual men were convicted for
:22:30. > :22:34.behaviour that would not have been a crime if their partner had been a
:22:35. > :22:39.woman. Terence Stewart says he was wrongly found guilty of soliciting
:22:40. > :22:43.in 1981. 40 years after the act came into effect. The offence remains on
:22:44. > :22:49.his record today, and has affected every aspect of his life. I was
:22:50. > :22:55.stopped from choosing particular careers. It also meant that if I
:22:56. > :23:00.applied for a mortgage, I couldn't get one because that would come into
:23:01. > :23:05.play on an application form. So it affected where you lived as well as
:23:06. > :23:12.how you lived. It had a huge effect on my health and well-being. I am
:23:13. > :23:18.happy to announce that you are now legally husband and husband. There
:23:19. > :23:21.was not until three years ago that people in Britain were able to marry
:23:22. > :23:27.the person they love, regardless of their sex. David and Peter were one
:23:28. > :23:33.of the first gay couples to tie the knot. David told me that today marks
:23:34. > :23:37.an important anniversary, and an opportunity to look back at a long,
:23:38. > :23:43.hard fight that people can be proud of. 50 years ago marked the
:23:44. > :23:47.beginning of a long journey that a lot of people devoted their lives
:23:48. > :23:53.to, put themselves at personal risk and all the rest. Now, when you look
:23:54. > :23:55.back over the 50 years, you can see the small but important steps that
:23:56. > :24:00.people and the government and society have made leading up to
:24:01. > :24:05.today. It's a momentous time to look back and see the progress we have
:24:06. > :24:09.made. But campaigners say there is still more to do to ensure that
:24:10. > :24:10.young people can grow up confident that they can be whoever they want
:24:11. > :24:20.to be. Just before I leave you, we have an
:24:21. > :24:27.update on the votes that are going on in the Senate at the moment. The
:24:28. > :24:33.Senate is to vote on Russian sanctions later. On Tuesday, the
:24:34. > :24:37.house of Republicans voted in favour of sanctions. If the Senate also
:24:38. > :24:41.votes in favour, that is when the bill will end up on Donald Trump's
:24:42. > :24:44.desk, and that is when Donald Trump will find himself in a tricky
:24:45. > :24:50.position. Does he veto it or not? Plenty more to come on that story on
:24:51. > :24:56.BBC world. Stay tuned for that, but that is it from me. Ros will be back
:24:57. > :25:08.on Monday. Thanks for being with us this evening. Bye-bye.
:25:09. > :25:14.There is something wrong with the weather at the moment. Today was a
:25:15. > :25:15.mixed ropes sunshine and heavy April showers and we have more showers
