0:00:11 > 0:00:13Global stock markets are tumbling downwards -
0:00:13 > 0:00:16big falls in New York where the market has just closed -
0:00:16 > 0:00:19we'll find out why.
0:00:19 > 0:00:22Scuffles in Johannesburg as President Zuma refuses to step
0:00:22 > 0:00:28down despite pressure from his party's leadership.
0:00:28 > 0:00:30Donald Trump says this NHS march in London shows that British
0:00:30 > 0:00:33health care is broken - both sides of the political
0:00:33 > 0:00:42divide respond in defence of universal health coverage.
0:00:42 > 0:00:46Across the world, there has been a defence of the universal health
0:00:46 > 0:00:47coverage.
0:00:47 > 0:00:49It's winter in Moscow - you might expect it
0:00:49 > 0:00:52to be cold and snowy - Well temperatures have dropped
0:00:52 > 0:00:55and enough snow has fallen that the city is struggling.
0:01:06 > 0:01:09Big falls in stock markets in recent days.
0:01:09 > 0:01:12Go back just a week and the US stock market was at a record high,
0:01:12 > 0:01:16it's a different picture now.
0:01:16 > 0:01:18Look at these traders on Wall Street earlier -
0:01:18 > 0:01:24they've had better days.
0:01:24 > 0:01:27Quite a few of them in fact in the last year
0:01:27 > 0:01:28as the market has boomed.
0:01:28 > 0:01:31The problems started last week - by Friday shares in New York
0:01:31 > 0:01:34were down 4% on the start of the week.
0:01:34 > 0:01:37In London the fall was 3%.
0:01:37 > 0:01:39All of which gives the new chair of the Federal Reserve
0:01:39 > 0:01:42plenty to think about.
0:01:42 > 0:01:44This is Jerome Powell being sworn in today.
0:01:44 > 0:01:47And indeed one of the reasons traders are nervous is that he may
0:01:48 > 0:01:52put up interest rates.
0:01:52 > 0:01:55Donald Trump is certain to be watching this -
0:01:55 > 0:01:57he's repeatedly cited the buoyant stock market as a sign
0:01:57 > 0:01:59of the success of the economy under his leadership.
0:01:59 > 0:02:01For instance, here's a clip from last week's State
0:02:01 > 0:02:10of the Union speech.
0:02:10 > 0:02:15The stock market has smashed one record after another, gaining $8
0:02:15 > 0:02:23trillion and more in value in just this short period of time.APPLAUSE
0:02:23 > 0:02:27The great news...
0:02:27 > 0:02:29The chateau there was not
0:02:29 > 0:02:32Should say - there is not a direct correlation between the health
0:02:32 > 0:02:33correlation between the health
0:02:33 > 0:02:36of a national economy and the level of a stock market.
0:02:36 > 0:02:37Now the falls have continued today.
0:02:37 > 0:02:40The Dow Jones has closed in the last few minutes -
0:02:40 > 0:02:43these prices are delayed slightly - 15 minutes ago it
0:02:43 > 0:02:44was down another 4%.
0:02:44 > 0:02:45London closed down another 1.4%.
0:02:45 > 0:02:55Big falls in Paris and Tokyo too.
0:02:55 > 0:03:02Yogita Limaye is in New York SSOURCE
0:03:02 > 0:03:10wherever the Dow ends up, it has been an astonishing day.Yes. All of
0:03:10 > 0:03:14that started last week, as you pointed out. Finally enough, you had
0:03:14 > 0:03:19a Labour report that came out about employment in America. It came out
0:03:19 > 0:03:23on Friday morning and was something that was positive for the economy.
0:03:23 > 0:03:27200,000 jobs were added, more than expected, and wage growth, which was
0:03:27 > 0:03:322.9% over the previous year, more than what most people expected, but
0:03:32 > 0:03:35as you pointed out, there is not actually a direct correlation
0:03:35 > 0:03:38between the strength of the economy and the level of the stock market so
0:03:38 > 0:03:42what has happened is because of that higher than expected wage growth,
0:03:42 > 0:03:50what people are expecting is that if people's salaries go up, prices go
0:03:50 > 0:03:54up, inflation goes up. What happens when inflation goes up? The central
0:03:54 > 0:03:57bank will essentially be compelled to raise interest rates to try and
0:03:57 > 0:04:00keep inflation under control, and before Friday when I spoke to
0:04:00 > 0:04:05traders and said how many rate rises do you expect this year, they said
0:04:05 > 0:04:09about 23. That is what they were expecting. Then you have this long
0:04:09 > 0:04:14-- strong employment report coming out on Friday, now they said they
0:04:14 > 0:04:19were worried there would be 46. That is the reason why you are seeing
0:04:19 > 0:04:22this fall in the stock markets. You saw it on Friday and you see it
0:04:22 > 0:04:28continue today.I was mentioning the files in Tokyo, Paris and London,
0:04:28 > 0:04:33are they directly affected by New York while separate individual
0:04:33 > 0:04:37factors at play?It does have a domino effect, what happens here,
0:04:37 > 0:04:43you see that kind of impact taking place around the world. One of the
0:04:43 > 0:04:46reasons, the decisions Federal Reserve snakes, if you see interest
0:04:46 > 0:04:52rates rise here in the US, but essentially happens is people who
0:04:52 > 0:04:55want higher returns, investors with money to spend, could actually then
0:04:55 > 0:04:58want to move their money here because they would get better
0:04:58 > 0:05:02returns that higher interest rates. That means money is moving to the
0:05:02 > 0:05:07US, could be moving away from other parts of the world, because in any
0:05:07 > 0:05:11case the US is considered a safe investment destination. So it is all
0:05:11 > 0:05:14correlated, there may be individual factors in different markets but you
0:05:14 > 0:05:20always see this kind of domino effect when you have a big fall or a
0:05:20 > 0:05:26big rally in the US markets.Thank you. To Johannesburg.
0:05:26 > 0:05:29The pressure is piling onto South Africa's President Jacob Zuma.
0:05:29 > 0:05:31And the threat comes from within his own party.
0:05:31 > 0:05:34Senior politicians from the African National Congress have
0:05:34 > 0:05:36been holding emergency discussions in Johannesburg today.
0:05:36 > 0:05:37The party's National Executive Committee is set
0:05:38 > 0:05:40to meet on Wednesday.
0:05:40 > 0:05:42It has the power to remove President Zuma from office.
0:05:42 > 0:05:45BOX one Also in Johannesburg, rival protesters have clashed.
0:05:45 > 0:05:47These are members of the ANC clashing with a group known
0:05:47 > 0:05:57to support the President.
0:06:05 > 0:06:08Here's one ANC one member.
0:06:08 > 0:06:15We don't expect trouble, and we will say they must behave themselves as
0:06:15 > 0:06:19well, because this is the piece and you cannot expect anyone to come and
0:06:19 > 0:06:26provoke just yet. Because if that comes to that point, then to defend
0:06:26 > 0:06:31the ANC headquarters and the leadership, if it means to lose our
0:06:31 > 0:06:35lives, we are ready to do that, because if you attack is here, what
0:06:35 > 0:06:38are you expecting?
0:06:38 > 0:06:40Any number of reasons the President's position is weak.
0:06:40 > 0:06:43For the past decade Zuma has faced hundreds of allegations
0:06:43 > 0:06:45of corruption and fraud.
0:06:45 > 0:06:48He'd also wanted his ex-wife Nkosa-zana Dlamini-Zuma
0:06:48 > 0:06:50to be his successor.
0:06:50 > 0:06:54But she's lost out to Zuma's deputy Cyril Ramaphosa.
0:06:54 > 0:07:03He is the new leader of the ANC.
0:07:03 > 0:07:05And some people want Mr Ramaphosa now -
0:07:05 > 0:07:07rather than in 2019 when he'll contest and almost
0:07:07 > 0:07:08certainly win the election.
0:07:08 > 0:07:18Here's Pumza Fihlani in Johannesburg.
0:07:20 > 0:07:24We understand what they are trying to do is to persuade President Jacob
0:07:24 > 0:07:29Zuma to go peacefully. The ANC was able to do this back in 2008 when
0:07:29 > 0:07:32they recalled the president to then stepped down quietly. They are
0:07:32 > 0:07:35trying to have a repeat of a similar situation but we understand that
0:07:35 > 0:07:40President Jacob Zuma is putting up a fierce fight. He will not go and we
0:07:40 > 0:07:44understand he wants to have certain conditions made by the ruling ANC,
0:07:44 > 0:07:52which include a stay of prosecution. He also has those charges, counts
0:07:52 > 0:07:56rather, over his head of corruption, fraud and racketeering, and that is
0:07:56 > 0:08:00something he is keen on avoiding. We understand this is one of the
0:08:00 > 0:08:07reasons he doesn't want to leave power. The stakes are very high the
0:08:07 > 0:08:12ruling Congress, the country goes into national elections in 2019, and
0:08:12 > 0:08:17they have gotten a taste that their powers is not guaranteed. Therefore
0:08:17 > 0:08:21in recent by-elections, when they lost a view of the provinces here,
0:08:21 > 0:08:25that the ANC support base has been shaken, and over the years President
0:08:25 > 0:08:30Jacob Zuma has been seen as a divisive figure, so they don't want
0:08:30 > 0:08:35him to be the reason that they lose their seat at the top table
0:08:35 > 0:08:38effectively. If this happens, it would be the first time the
0:08:38 > 0:08:41liberation movement has been out of power since the dawn of democracy,
0:08:41 > 0:08:45say they want out of the way so they can rebrand themselves as a party
0:08:45 > 0:08:48serious about the needs of South Africans and also a party that will
0:08:48 > 0:08:54not tolerate corruption.
0:08:54 > 0:08:56Here's Donald Trump on the UK's National Health Service.
0:09:16 > 0:09:21There was a march at the weekend in London to do with the NHS, its title
0:09:21 > 0:09:26was NHS in crisis, fix it now. But the organisers have made clear these
0:09:26 > 0:09:30were people who wanted to show their love for the principles of universal
0:09:30 > 0:09:35and comprehensive care, free at the point of use. As is often the case,
0:09:35 > 0:09:38the president was tweeting on a subject that had just been covered
0:09:38 > 0:09:44by Fox news. So here is the former UK Independence Party leader Nigel
0:09:44 > 0:09:49Farage on Fox talking about the NHS just before President Trump treated.
0:09:49 > 0:09:56Jeremy Hunt is the UK's Health Secretary. He has responded...
0:10:09 > 0:10:15A strong riposte from the Halle secretary. Here are the thoughts of
0:10:15 > 0:10:18the BBC's Alex Forsyth. Interestingly you had people uniting
0:10:18 > 0:10:22from across the political spectrum to defend the NHS in light of
0:10:22 > 0:10:26President Trump's comments. The Labour Party leader, Jeremy Corbyn,
0:10:26 > 0:10:30the official opposition leader, he was saying Mr Trump was wrong to
0:10:30 > 0:10:34have tweeted his criticism of the NHS. The people who organise that
0:10:34 > 0:10:40march made the point they are supporting it, and Health Secretary
0:10:40 > 0:10:44Jeremy Hunt as you say with a critique of US health policy
0:10:44 > 0:10:49defending the NHS as well. So there has been a united approach from the
0:10:49 > 0:10:56UK, but a criticism of Donald Trump is Mac intervention. Interestingly,
0:10:56 > 0:10:58the Prime Minister's official spokesman was asked about this today
0:10:58 > 0:11:02and made the point that there is a good relationship between the UK and
0:11:02 > 0:11:05the US, as we have heard several times before. Nonetheless I think it
0:11:05 > 0:11:15is fair to say Donald Trump is again testing diplomatic relations.
0:11:15 > 0:11:18The only suspect who survived the Paris terror attack two years
0:11:18 > 0:11:21ago has gone on trial in Belgium - not for the Paris attack,
0:11:21 > 0:11:24but for the shoot out when he was arrested in Brussels.
0:11:24 > 0:11:26He's 28-year-old Salah Abdeslam, He's a French national
0:11:26 > 0:11:28who was born in Belgium - and he's used day one
0:11:28 > 0:11:31of the trial to say he will not co-operate in any way.
0:11:31 > 0:11:35He'd been on the run for four month's after the Paris attack.
0:11:35 > 0:11:37Getting him to the courthouse in Brussels was a massive operation
0:11:37 > 0:11:45because he's in prison in Paris.
0:11:45 > 0:11:46This is his heavily-armed convoy leaving Paris
0:11:46 > 0:11:50in the middle of the night.
0:11:50 > 0:11:52Every day he will be driven or flown by helicopter over
0:11:52 > 0:11:59the border to the trial.
0:11:59 > 0:12:05As you'd imagine, security at the courthouse is tight.
0:12:05 > 0:12:09There is concern is the Islamic State group may see the trial as a
0:12:09 > 0:12:12target, so heavily armed people all around. The BBC's Kevin Lee has been
0:12:12 > 0:12:16covering this.
0:12:16 > 0:12:20The first day of the trial of Salah Abdul Salam is coming to an end and
0:12:20 > 0:12:23it is significant because he's the only surviving suspect of the Paris
0:12:23 > 0:12:28attacks in November 2015, which killed 130 people, multiple
0:12:28 > 0:12:31coordinated attacks were stopped that caught Kate is due in around
0:12:31 > 0:12:34two years' time but this is linked to a police raid, four months later
0:12:34 > 0:12:40in a district of Brussels, in which the police came to a hideout, and
0:12:40 > 0:12:44came under heavy artillery fire. Three officers were injured. Salah
0:12:44 > 0:12:50Abdul Salam, an accomplice in here today, facing court, faced charges
0:12:50 > 0:12:54of attempted murder of police officers. The investigators are
0:12:54 > 0:12:57hoping that given that Salah Abdul Salam, who has been in prison now
0:12:57 > 0:13:01for almost two years has been silent, even to his lawyers, that he
0:13:01 > 0:13:05was going to give some evidence in court. His lawyer said he was
0:13:05 > 0:13:11prepared to talk. He did, but selectively. As I move to let this
0:13:11 > 0:13:13police riot van through, we were told today as we watch the court
0:13:13 > 0:13:17proceedings that Salah Abdul Salaam was refusing to acknowledge the
0:13:17 > 0:13:21court, the process of the court, saying he would use his silence is
0:13:21 > 0:13:24not to indicate his guilt, he said, but indicated it will recognise the
0:13:24 > 0:13:29system. He said as a Muslim he felt he was vilified. He said he was
0:13:29 > 0:13:33mercilessly being judged and ultimately he believed this was a
0:13:33 > 0:13:37setup trial, that there would be no useful evidence included, and he
0:13:37 > 0:13:41refused to stand as well, saying he was tired today. Interestingly, the
0:13:41 > 0:13:47co-accused, who was found in his flat in this Brussels suburb, also
0:13:47 > 0:13:50said to have fled by foot along the rooftops before they were found
0:13:50 > 0:13:55three days later. He said he had come from Syria, he was part of
0:13:55 > 0:13:59so-called Islamic State, that he did not fire the gun, neither man said
0:13:59 > 0:14:05they did in the hideout, but that the other man, said he was going
0:14:05 > 0:14:08back to Syria to rejoin Islamic State, showing part culpability
0:14:08 > 0:14:15today. The Belgium highest prosecutor, the federal prosecutor,
0:14:15 > 0:14:18said she was seeking 20 years imprisonment for both men.
0:14:18 > 0:14:23Ultimately I think we got a sense of where this trial is going next. It
0:14:23 > 0:14:27is the first day, it is adjourned now, there will be more hearings but
0:14:27 > 0:14:29so far complete silence, disappointment for those
0:14:29 > 0:14:33investigators hoping to piece together the wider terrorist network
0:14:33 > 0:14:42and perhaps some clues as to what happened after the Paris attacks.
0:14:42 > 0:14:43The final sentencing hearing for former US Gymnastics
0:14:43 > 0:14:44doctor Larry Nassar.
0:14:44 > 0:14:46We will discuss what's next for the investigation.
0:14:46 > 0:14:50He has been given yet more time in prison. We will bring you up to
0:14:50 > 0:14:51date.
0:14:56 > 0:15:01Here in the UK,
0:15:01 > 0:15:03Here in
0:15:03 > 0:15:04Stagecoach's contract to run the East Coast Mainline
0:15:04 > 0:15:06rail franchise will end earlier than expected.
0:15:06 > 0:15:08The government said the operator had failed
0:15:08 > 0:15:10to forecast profits correctly.
0:15:10 > 0:15:13The contract has already been cut short once.
0:15:13 > 0:15:16the government trying to convince passengers it will not affect their
0:15:16 > 0:15:19journeys here from Leeds or your core Doncaster down to London, this
0:15:19 > 0:15:24will be a long-term decision.But Chris Grayling raising the
0:15:24 > 0:15:26possibility that the Department for Transport, the taxpayer, could run
0:15:26 > 0:15:32these coast main line again. That is something the rail union the RMT
0:15:32 > 0:15:35said should happen, and they have been pushing for that all along for
0:15:35 > 0:15:41some Labour telling us that the government has a really difficult
0:15:41 > 0:15:44decision to make the passengers. What value can they get, the
0:15:44 > 0:15:47passengers here in Leeds, and what can they do to make sure people have
0:15:47 > 0:15:54confidence in the railways?
0:16:02 > 0:16:09This is Outside Source live from the BBC newsroom.
0:16:09 > 0:16:13There have been big falls in global stock markets. In New York's Dow
0:16:13 > 0:16:18Jones has closed in the last few minutes, down more than 4.5%. Let's
0:16:18 > 0:16:23turn to some of the main stories from BBC World Service, first of
0:16:23 > 0:16:27all, a Chilean man has said he wrote the Pope Frances three years ago
0:16:27 > 0:16:31complaining of sexual abuse by a priest and a subsequent cover-up,
0:16:31 > 0:16:37which contradicts a recent statement by the Pope.
0:16:37 > 0:16:39The letter gave details of abuse by a paedophile priest.
0:16:39 > 0:16:42And this was the most read online on BBC.com today -
0:16:42 > 0:16:44the Victoria Derbyshire programme found thousands of British people
0:16:44 > 0:16:47sold time-shares in the 1980s are now trapped in the arrangement
0:16:47 > 0:16:55and it's costing them hundreds of pounds in fees each year.
0:16:55 > 0:16:58Larry Nassar has been sentenced for a third and final time.
0:16:58 > 0:17:01The former USA gymnastics doctor was given 40 to 125 years in prison.
0:17:01 > 0:17:03That's in addition to a 40-to-175 year sentence
0:17:03 > 0:17:10for a separate set of charges.
0:17:10 > 0:17:19He is accused of molesting 265 girls and women over two decades.
0:17:20 > 0:17:24Almost 200 victims gave incredibly powerful testimony
0:17:24 > 0:17:28across both hearings.
0:17:28 > 0:17:31This is the judge in the final sentencing.
0:17:31 > 0:17:33SSOURCE
0:17:38 > 0:17:44There is absolutely no question society must be protected. It is
0:17:44 > 0:17:48unfathomable to think about the number of victims that would have
0:17:48 > 0:17:51been spared, had authorities acted upon the complaints received years
0:17:51 > 0:17:55ago. But that is a discussion for a different time and a different
0:17:55 > 0:17:58place.
0:17:58 > 0:17:59Nada Tawfik, New York.
0:17:59 > 0:18:07Is that the end of the judicial process?No, Larry Nassar still does
0:18:07 > 0:18:11face a civil suit and you have about 140 victims who have signed up for
0:18:11 > 0:18:17that. But really what I think we have seen from this is the fact that
0:18:17 > 0:18:20it is very clear Larry Nassar will be spending the rest of his life in
0:18:20 > 0:18:27prison. The wrapping up of these tonight sentencing hearings for
0:18:27 > 0:18:31these two separate state molestation charges really showed the victim
0:18:31 > 0:18:33said was just how seriously the judicial system was taking the
0:18:33 > 0:18:40crime. Rachel was there during both hearings, she was the one who
0:18:40 > 0:18:44famously asked how much is a little girl worth? She said she got her
0:18:44 > 0:18:48answer by the strong sentence. She said his crimes show others that the
0:18:48 > 0:18:54full extent of the law will be used to how he does these crimes were.We
0:18:54 > 0:18:57have the judge saying further investigations into how this
0:18:57 > 0:19:00happened for another day but presumably people are turning to
0:19:00 > 0:19:04those issues, not even waiting until tomorrow, right now?Yes,
0:19:04 > 0:19:11absolutely. For example it was breaking reporting that shed light
0:19:11 > 0:19:16on Larry Nassar's rhymes to begin with. We had again over the weekend
0:19:16 > 0:19:20another example that journalists are continuing to dig into this. The New
0:19:20 > 0:19:26York Times had a piece over the weekend showing that the FBI took
0:19:26 > 0:19:31over a year to look into Larry Nassar's molestation of young girls
0:19:31 > 0:19:35at USA gymnastics, and they said they had identified 40 girls at that
0:19:35 > 0:19:38time period who continued to be molested because they were slow to
0:19:38 > 0:19:43react. The FBI claimed the delay on the fact they had several different
0:19:43 > 0:19:47departments overlooking this over several jurisdictions. But again it
0:19:47 > 0:19:52just points to the fact it was not just the FBI, you had Michigan state
0:19:52 > 0:19:55police and Lansing Michigan coming forward to apologise to one victim
0:19:55 > 0:19:59who reported that she was molested by Larry Nassar in 2014, and when
0:19:59 > 0:20:04they met with the doctor, he was able to convince them by showing him
0:20:04 > 0:20:08a PowerPoint slide that what he did was medical treatment. There has
0:20:08 > 0:20:12been a lot of blame going back and forth about how they handle that
0:20:12 > 0:20:17case. Again, Michigan state university also coming under
0:20:17 > 0:20:19scrutiny for them properly not handling allegations, so there has
0:20:19 > 0:20:22certainly been a national discussion of where all these failures took
0:20:22 > 0:20:26place that allowed him to take advantage of these young girls in
0:20:26 > 0:20:35such a long thank you.
0:20:35 > 0:20:37A trial pitting two of the biggest players in self-drive technology
0:20:37 > 0:20:39against each other has begun in San Francisco.
0:20:39 > 0:20:41Ride-sharing firm Uber is being sued by Waymo,
0:20:41 > 0:20:48the self-driving company spun out of Google.
0:20:48 > 0:20:55Dave Lee is outside the court house in San Francisco....
0:20:56 > 0:21:02Help me understand exactly what they are disagreeing over?This is the
0:21:02 > 0:21:11big disagreement over trade secrets in self driving technology. Waymo,
0:21:11 > 0:21:21the company spun out of Google, they allege that Uber store documents,
0:21:21 > 0:21:26specifically they say a former employee, Anthony Lewandowski,
0:21:26 > 0:21:29diverse, left Google, set of his own company that was then bought by
0:21:29 > 0:21:33Gruber after less than a year and that became their self driving
0:21:33 > 0:21:38division. They are saying, Waymo, that was all a front in order to
0:21:38 > 0:21:42steal these documents. The birth of their point say that simply is not
0:21:42 > 0:21:47the case. They don't really dispute that the documents were stolen. What
0:21:47 > 0:21:50they are trying to argue and what the jury has to decide is that they
0:21:50 > 0:21:54are saying that although the documents were taken, that doesn't
0:21:54 > 0:21:57necessarily mean they were used to create anything at Uber. So while
0:21:57 > 0:22:03they have them in their possession, unless they were used to gain an
0:22:03 > 0:22:05advantage in self driving technology then Uber would be culpable. That is
0:22:05 > 0:22:11what the jury has the side, whether it gave Uber an unfair advantage in
0:22:11 > 0:22:15developing itself driving tech.And I guess the reason they are squaring
0:22:15 > 0:22:18up with such passion is that the prize, the self driving market, is
0:22:18 > 0:22:24so vast?Potentially. This is one of the interesting things about this
0:22:24 > 0:22:27case, we don't really know the extent to which self driving
0:22:27 > 0:22:31technology will change the world. Most people here will tell you a
0:22:31 > 0:22:35quite a profound way but it still very much in its development. What
0:22:35 > 0:22:39Waymo hopes to achieve if you can win this case is that Google will be
0:22:39 > 0:22:43forced to stop itself driving programme, widely stop using some of
0:22:43 > 0:22:46the technologies that have been disputed here, and that could
0:22:46 > 0:22:50greatly hindered Uber's progress in an area that of course it really
0:22:50 > 0:22:53wants to be one of the market leaders. If it can't do that, it
0:22:53 > 0:22:59does put Uber's future on some shaky ground, because many people seek
0:22:59 > 0:23:04self driving as the future of how many of us get around.
0:23:04 > 0:23:07Keep us posted.
0:23:07 > 0:23:10A surprise in South Korea - The heir to Samsung has walked free
0:23:10 > 0:23:12after an appeals court upheld his bribery conviction,
0:23:12 > 0:23:17BUT cut his prison sentence - meaning his immediate release.
0:23:17 > 0:23:23Here's Karishma Vaswani with this update.
0:23:23 > 0:23:26It was amongst 45 different legal options, and certainly not at the
0:23:26 > 0:23:32top of the list. So the fact that the scion of the Samsung group, J
0:23:32 > 0:23:37Whaley, who has been in detention now for a year since last February,
0:23:37 > 0:23:41the fact he has walked free and can technically get back into the hot
0:23:41 > 0:23:45seat, technically go back to work, although I have been told by folks
0:23:45 > 0:23:50at Samsung that may not be the case right away, given that he still has
0:23:50 > 0:23:54to face a Supreme Court challenge because the prosecution have said
0:23:54 > 0:24:03they will challenge this decision at the Supreme Court level. And JY Lee
0:24:03 > 0:24:07himself has decided he wants to challenge. He has maintained he is
0:24:07 > 0:24:11not guilty and will take it all the weight of the Supreme Court.
0:24:11 > 0:24:14To Moscow - the amount of snow is causing havoc
0:24:14 > 0:24:15and breaking records.
0:24:15 > 0:24:18People were told to leave their cars at home
0:24:18 > 0:24:20and take public transport - this is why - cars skidding.
0:24:20 > 0:24:27But buses weren't always much better.
0:24:27 > 0:24:31This bus had to be pushed out of its station.
0:24:36 > 0:24:40Here's another option.
0:24:40 > 0:24:47Snowboarding.
0:24:47 > 0:24:48Good for short journeys, I guess.
0:24:48 > 0:24:50Good for short journeys, I guess.
0:24:50 > 0:24:52The BBC's Steve Rosenberg has been braving conditions.
0:24:57 > 0:25:03It is no secret that in Russia, in the winter, it snows. But it doesn't
0:25:03 > 0:25:08normally snow quite like this. In the last two days, we have seen more
0:25:08 > 0:25:11than one month's worth of snowfall in Moscow, the biggest snowfall here
0:25:11 > 0:25:16since records began. And that is causing problems for the
0:25:16 > 0:25:19authorities, who are normally good at dealing with all this white
0:25:19 > 0:25:21fluffy stuff. Thousands of snowploughs have come onto the
0:25:21 > 0:25:27streets to try to clear the roads. It is not just affecting Moscow, but
0:25:27 > 0:25:30cities across central Russia too. The Moscow authorities have been
0:25:30 > 0:25:34sending out text messages to people, I got one this morning, telling us
0:25:34 > 0:25:38to leave our cars at home and to use public transport. What happens to
0:25:38 > 0:25:42all of this now once it's fallen? Well, wants the snowploughs have
0:25:42 > 0:25:48cleared it and piled it out, it is taken to the edge of the city to be
0:25:48 > 0:25:53disposed of in special snow disposal centres. Steve Rosenberg, BBC News,

0:26:01 > 0:26:05app, whether over you the world you can get a forecast.
0:26:10 > 0:26:13Hello, it is that time an evening where we take a look at what the
0:26:13 > 0:26:18weather is doing elsewhere around globe. Cold here in the UK, it is
0:26:18 > 0:26:22called across much of Japan, Korea and northern and eastern China. The
0:26:22 > 0:26:27majors in recent weeks have been 10 degrees below average. As we go
0:26:27 > 0:26:34through the week we lose the frost. It looks as though temperatures will
0:26:34 > 0:26:38return to closer to normal by the time we get the Friday at least,
0:26:38 > 0:26:49even in Hong Kong, Giuseppe Whelband apart.
0:26:52 > 0:26:58Cold embedded across much of north America and Canada but not in the
0:26:58 > 0:27:01south-west, temperatures are above average and with the desert wind it
0:27:01 > 0:27:06exacerbates the risks of wildfires. The developing system of moisture
0:27:06 > 0:27:12and warmth of the Gulf of Mexico, heavy snowfall, freezing rain, even
0:27:12 > 0:27:16some severe storms forecast as we go towards the middle part of the week.
0:27:16 > 0:27:20There could be some disruption but only three degrees in New York. We
0:27:20 > 0:27:24still have that cold air further north. It is the heat I want to draw
0:27:24 > 0:27:28attention to a cross-border series, much of central and southern
0:27:28 > 0:27:31Argentina will suit coverage of some 10 degrees above average, but very
0:27:31 > 0:27:36little rain forecast. Very little rain forecast for Cape Town, most of
0:27:36 > 0:27:39the rain will be across parts of southern and eastern Africa but
0:27:39 > 0:27:43unfortunately the Cape Town, the drought will continue for much of
0:27:43 > 0:27:48this week. It has been ongoing for the past three years. There are
0:27:48 > 0:27:52water usage restrictions. There is rain in the forecast for Cape Town
0:27:52 > 0:27:55by Friday but it will not be enough to alleviate the problems that we
0:27:55 > 0:28:00have here. Not just rain we are talking about in the North of Africa
0:28:00 > 0:28:05through Algeria and Morocco but snow again. Some of these heavier showers
0:28:05 > 0:28:08coming in could fall as now on the Atlas mountains but possibly in the
0:28:08 > 0:28:12heavy ones to lower levels. We will have a problem again through the
0:28:12 > 0:28:19Mediterranean across Albion area -- Iberia into the Alps, more rain at
0:28:19 > 0:28:22lower levels, snow causing disruption across France on Tuesday
0:28:22 > 0:28:25possibly and that means the avalanche risk rises across the Alps
0:28:25 > 0:28:31and the Pyrenees just because the temperatures are seesawing. Nasty
0:28:31 > 0:28:36river into the Balkans, storm force winds through the Adriatic, cold air
0:28:36 > 0:28:40across much of Europe and in fact from Moscow, some of the coldest
0:28:40 > 0:28:43weather of the year so far, -10 degrees. We are seeing some of the
0:28:43 > 0:28:48coldest weather of winter so far, with disruptive is now making its
0:28:48 > 0:28:52way southwards during the coming night and into Tuesday. Stay tuned
0:28:52 > 0:28:56to the forecasts, look at the website for the latest warnings. As

0:30:53 > 0:30:58#BBCOS is the hashtag.
0:31:15 > 0:31:19It is rare we get this far in a programme without talking about
0:31:19 > 0:31:23Washington. Let's put that right.
0:31:23 > 0:31:25We have the Devin Nunes memo - the Republican-drafted document
0:31:25 > 0:31:27the White House declassified on Friday that alleges FBI bias
0:31:27 > 0:31:31against Donald Trump.
0:31:31 > 0:31:35The Democrats say it was inaccurate and omitted facts, and want to rebut
0:31:35 > 0:31:38it with their own memo.
0:31:38 > 0:31:41And the House Intelligence Committee is preparing to review it.
0:31:41 > 0:31:45The committee's top Democrat is Adam Schiff.
0:32:01 > 0:32:07That's the President calling the former head of the FBI a liar.
0:32:11 > 0:32:13To which Mr Schiff quickly replied:
0:32:22 > 0:32:25It is getting nasty.
0:32:25 > 0:32:29Anthony Zurcher in Washington.
0:32:29 > 0:32:32I guess it is not a surprise that Republicans are being rude about
0:32:32 > 0:32:37Democrats and vice versa, but what does the memo potentially contain?
0:32:37 > 0:32:43The way the Democrats describe it, this is a rebuttal to the Devin
0:32:43 > 0:32:50Nunes memo, that that one did not paint a full picture and it omitted
0:32:50 > 0:32:57information which would have been useful in explaining why the FBI
0:32:57 > 0:33:00opened up surveillance of Carter Page and that there is more
0:33:00 > 0:33:04information that the FBI provided and that the judge was reviewing
0:33:04 > 0:33:12this surveillance request. And that it was not directly related to the
0:33:12 > 0:33:15Kristina Stiller dossier, so they will try to point out what they say
0:33:15 > 0:33:21is inaccuracies -- Christopher Steele.One colleague said he was
0:33:21 > 0:33:28suffering from memo fatigue. For people sitting at home, why does
0:33:28 > 0:33:39this matter?What this says, there is a traditional process by which
0:33:39 > 0:33:43congressional committee investigations take place, you talk
0:33:43 > 0:33:46to witnesses and bring people in and you put heads together and you try
0:33:46 > 0:33:50to issue a bipartisan report at the end of the resignation that says
0:33:50 > 0:33:56these are the conclusions. Sometimes it becomes mired in partisanship and
0:33:56 > 0:34:00you will get a minority report that accompanies the committee findings
0:34:00 > 0:34:03by that happens at the end, and what we are seeing here is a
0:34:03 > 0:34:07short-circuiting of the process where you have members of the
0:34:07 > 0:34:11majority of the committee issuing their own memos and the minority
0:34:11 > 0:34:14issuing a competing memo and there are probably more memos coming out,
0:34:14 > 0:34:18all while the investigation is ongoing and this is a reflection of
0:34:18 > 0:34:22the system that the processors are breaking down because of
0:34:22 > 0:34:26partisanship is both sides tried to manoeuvre as the independent Robert
0:34:26 > 0:34:32Mueller investigation is looking at Russian ties to the president and
0:34:32 > 0:34:36could come out with a report at some point. They are trying to repair for
0:34:36 > 0:34:43any political fallout from it. -- prepare.Got it. Thanks for joining
0:34:43 > 0:34:51us. And now two more intrigued. -- two more intrigued.
0:34:51 > 0:34:52There have been a series of political
0:34:53 > 0:34:54developments in the Maldives.
0:34:54 > 0:34:56First let me show you where I'm talking about.
0:34:56 > 0:34:57It's this tiny collection of islands -
0:34:57 > 0:34:59it's often associated with tourism.
0:34:59 > 0:35:03But we are also regularly reporting on its political turmoil.
0:35:03 > 0:35:06Earlier on Monday President Abdulla Yameen declared
0:35:06 > 0:35:10a 15 day state of emergency.
0:35:10 > 0:35:12Then later in the day the former president
0:35:12 > 0:35:13Maumoon Abdul Gayoom was arrested.
0:35:13 > 0:35:18Security forces have also entered the Supreme Court.
0:35:18 > 0:35:22Well, for more on this I'm joined by the BBC's Olivia Lang.
0:35:23 > 0:35:27Where are we at the moment? Everything has been moving very
0:35:27 > 0:35:32swiftly since the state of emergency was declared. Please have entered
0:35:32 > 0:35:34the Supreme Court building and we believe the police are holding the
0:35:34 > 0:35:39Supreme Court judges against their will -- police have entered. They
0:35:39 > 0:35:44have arrested the former president Maumoon Abdul Gayoom who is the half
0:35:44 > 0:35:49brother of the current president but is a member of the opposition now.
0:35:49 > 0:35:58He has been arrested and there are concerns that basically describe --
0:35:58 > 0:36:01basically this crackdown is going to intensify the opposition have called
0:36:01 > 0:36:06this a purge.This is connected to a Supreme Court ruling regarding the
0:36:06 > 0:36:13opposition?Yes, on Thursday the supreme court announced double
0:36:13 > 0:36:15ordered the government to release political prisoners and to reinstate
0:36:15 > 0:36:2512 opposition MPs -- announced, ordered. Essentially if those 12 MPs
0:36:25 > 0:36:31were reinstated that would allow the opposition to have a majority. So
0:36:31 > 0:36:34clearly the current president has seen this as a serious threat and he
0:36:34 > 0:36:42is taking drastic measures to prevent this.You are a keen student
0:36:42 > 0:36:48of politics in the Maldives, and I'm probably not, but I have an
0:36:48 > 0:36:53impression that this is borne of longer term political turmoil?Yes.
0:36:53 > 0:36:59The bigger picture here is whether the Maldives will be a democracy in
0:36:59 > 0:37:07the future. In 2008 it became a democracy and had its first ever
0:37:07 > 0:37:12multiparty elections, I was there reporting on the ground. We had a
0:37:12 > 0:37:17few years of essentially when the Maldives was this rare shining
0:37:17 > 0:37:24example of an Islamic democracy but that changed when the president at
0:37:24 > 0:37:29the time, who is now in exiles, he was forced from power in 2012 and
0:37:29 > 0:37:38now we have after a event. -- we have had event after event. The
0:37:38 > 0:37:44question is what happens to the democratic rights that the Maldives
0:37:44 > 0:37:49people got in 2008 but which are now under threat.Thank you very much.
0:37:49 > 0:37:55We might come back to Olivia later in the week as the story develops.
0:37:55 > 0:38:03You can get more information on that on the BBC News website. Now to a
0:38:03 > 0:38:06story we were covering last week.
0:38:06 > 0:38:09After several days of protests, two private Kenyan TV
0:38:09 > 0:38:12stations are now back on air - a week ago they were shut down
0:38:12 > 0:38:22for trying to show the opposition leader being sworn in as President.
0:38:22 > 0:38:24NTV are back on air.
0:38:24 > 0:38:27But Citizen TV remains off air.
0:38:27 > 0:38:29Worth reiterating that Uhuru Kenyatta
0:38:29 > 0:38:37is actually the president - he won last year's rerun election.
0:38:37 > 0:38:42Mr Odinga boycotted it, and has refused to accept the result.
0:38:42 > 0:38:44Many people have been following the situation regarding these TV
0:38:44 > 0:38:52stations. Plenty of people have been upset by the fact these TV stations
0:38:52 > 0:39:01are fair. But everyone, though. -- not everyone.
0:39:08 > 0:39:11"People are talking to each other more".
0:39:11 > 0:39:16Not sure if we can back that up with hard facts.
0:39:16 > 0:39:21Mercy Juma has more from Nairobi.
0:39:21 > 0:39:28It is only available to those who access TV through pay-TV, but those
0:39:28 > 0:39:33people who are on free to air cannot access these two channel still and
0:39:33 > 0:39:37the government says it is working on this. Citizen TV, there are couple
0:39:37 > 0:39:43of things which come into play about, one is that a few days after
0:39:43 > 0:39:48the stations were switched off Citizen TV went to court on its own,
0:39:48 > 0:39:54suing the government for damages, saying it is losing thousands of
0:39:54 > 0:40:00dollars every day by being off air and that is still in court. Another
0:40:00 > 0:40:03case is that when it comes to digital transmission each of the
0:40:03 > 0:40:13stations has their own way of getting the signal out and for KTM
0:40:13 > 0:40:20and CTV, they have different channels on different platforms, and
0:40:20 > 0:40:26they take their signals to a carrier, so they have different ways
0:40:26 > 0:40:31where they channel the signals, but for Citizen TV they only have one
0:40:31 > 0:40:34digital platform and that is the one they used to transmit signals to all
0:40:34 > 0:40:43the other carriers.
0:40:46 > 0:40:51Yet more Brexit talks in London today.
0:40:51 > 0:40:55The EU's chief negotiator Michel Barnier in Downing Street.
0:40:55 > 0:41:00There he is alongside David Davis.
0:41:00 > 0:41:02Remember, the UK government has still to say exactly
0:41:02 > 0:41:04what kind of Brexit it wants.
0:41:04 > 0:41:08We got some clarity, though.
0:41:08 > 0:41:10No 10 said today the UK would not seek a relationship equivalent
0:41:10 > 0:41:13to membership of the EU customs union - that's a tarriff-free
0:41:13 > 0:41:14trade area with the EU.
0:41:14 > 0:41:16Here's Michel Barnier reacting to this development.
0:41:16 > 0:41:23Without the customs union and outside the single market, barriers
0:41:23 > 0:41:32to trade in goods and services are unavoidable. Time has come to make a
0:41:32 > 0:41:35choice.
0:41:35 > 0:41:40The EU still wants more detail from the UK
0:41:40 > 0:41:43on what it's asking for - that's hard for Theresa May
0:41:43 > 0:41:47because she needs to satisfy a range of opinions in her party and beyond.
0:41:48 > 0:41:50Here's Vicky Young.
0:41:50 > 0:41:55I think it has been a bit of a joke in the EU, saying we can't respond
0:41:55 > 0:41:59to you unless you tell us exactly what you are aiming for, and that is
0:41:59 > 0:42:04partly a negotiation, you can see where the differences are going to
0:42:04 > 0:42:08be in all of this, but Theresa May has been trying to tread this very
0:42:08 > 0:42:14careful line. Not only her Cabinet split, but the Conservative Party is
0:42:14 > 0:42:18split and then within Parliament, they have got to work out the
0:42:18 > 0:42:22numbers, there are many in the Labour Party who say it was not
0:42:22 > 0:42:26right and it is in fact reckless to build up being in some kind of
0:42:26 > 0:42:30customs union if it ever came to a vote, and what would the result that
0:42:30 > 0:42:37they? That has to be considered -- what was the result of that be? UK
0:42:37 > 0:42:41would like a bespoke deal, which has never been done before, and the
0:42:41 > 0:42:48question is whether the EU are prepared to give one to us.
0:42:48 > 0:42:51Syria's government is being accused of using chemical
0:42:51 > 0:42:52weapons against its citizens - again.
0:42:52 > 0:42:55The attack in question happened in Idlib province on Sunday.
0:42:55 > 0:42:59There are unverified claims by activists that a government
0:42:59 > 0:43:02helicopter dropped barrels on a rebel-held town called Saraqib.
0:43:02 > 0:43:08This is what one survivor had to day.
0:43:09 > 0:43:14TRANSLATION:We were in our houses and guarding the houses of civilians
0:43:14 > 0:43:18who fled because of the strikes, and we were hit. There was a small
0:43:18 > 0:43:23explosion and someone said, chlorine, and after ten minutes we
0:43:23 > 0:43:26suffocated and some people began vomiting and others were screaming
0:43:26 > 0:43:36and then the civil defence team saved us and took us to hospital.
0:43:36 > 0:43:40I want to show you some of the key pictures on this story.
0:43:40 > 0:43:43Some of them you may find upsetting.
0:43:43 > 0:43:45This is the aftermath.
0:43:45 > 0:43:48Five people were treated for what's being called "suffocation".
0:43:48 > 0:43:51There was also several air strikes on Saraqib.
0:43:51 > 0:43:53This is from the town's hospital where
0:43:53 > 0:43:55the injured were treated.
0:43:55 > 0:44:04Doctors there say a "toxic gas" was used in the attack.
0:44:04 > 0:44:06In the nearby city of Ma'arat al-Numan babies were among
0:44:06 > 0:44:08the evacuated from a hospital.
0:44:08 > 0:44:10Activists say it was hit by Russian air strikes
0:44:10 > 0:44:18and that four people died.
0:44:18 > 0:44:22The opposition is claiming that Russia stepped up attacks
0:44:22 > 0:44:25in Idlib after this - one of its planes was
0:44:25 > 0:44:32shot down on Saturday.
0:44:32 > 0:44:33The Russian pilot died after detonating a grenade
0:44:33 > 0:44:35to avoid capture.
0:44:35 > 0:44:38Along with the strikes I've just described,
0:44:38 > 0:44:41six civilians are reported to have died in regime attacks
0:44:41 > 0:44:48in a town called Kafr Nabi.
0:44:48 > 0:44:50Also - much closer to the capital Damascus -
0:44:50 > 0:44:52in the rebel enclave Eastern Ghouta, 28 civilians are
0:44:53 > 0:44:57reported to have died.
0:44:57 > 0:45:00This area is supposed to be in one of four de-escalation zones.
0:45:00 > 0:45:04And one other statistic.
0:45:04 > 0:45:07The UN says 59 children were killed in Syria's
0:45:07 > 0:45:10conflict in January alone.
0:45:10 > 0:45:14At the UN Security Council in New York, the Assad regime
0:45:14 > 0:45:15was roundly condemned.
0:45:15 > 0:45:19Here's the UK's representative, Jonathan Allen.
0:45:19 > 0:45:22If it is confirmed that Assad has again used chemical weapons on his
0:45:22 > 0:45:26own people it would not only be another entry in the catalogue his
0:45:26 > 0:45:34war crimes, it would also be another attack on us all, members of the
0:45:34 > 0:45:41United Nations who have worked for decades in the chemical weapons
0:45:41 > 0:45:45Convention, for the sake of all mankind, to exclude completely the
0:45:45 > 0:45:51possibility of the use of chemical weapons.You may have noticed the UK
0:45:51 > 0:45:57representative said at the beginning, if this happened.
0:45:57 > 0:46:01I spoke to Rash Qandeel from BBC Arabic a short time ago.
0:46:01 > 0:46:02And asked her why it's hard to determine exactly
0:46:03 > 0:46:04what was used in this attack.
0:46:04 > 0:46:07The access to the area, this is the main point that makes everything
0:46:07 > 0:46:10difficult even for the humanitarian organisation, to get into somewhere
0:46:10 > 0:46:14and look at the people and speak to them, and speak to both parties. The
0:46:14 > 0:46:19accusations coming from the United States in the Security Council
0:46:19 > 0:46:25cannot be verified by what we call an independent source, especially
0:46:25 > 0:46:28and there is always a denial by the Syrian regime of using these kind of
0:46:28 > 0:46:34weapons.But the Russians have been involved more generally in air
0:46:34 > 0:46:40strikes and a few months ago we spoke about how Vladimir Putin said
0:46:40 > 0:46:45their work is almost done, but by still heavily involved.Back then we
0:46:45 > 0:46:49spoke about a couple of scenarios, Russia is genuine about announcing
0:46:49 > 0:46:54that their operations in Syria, the air raids, are about to end, and the
0:46:54 > 0:47:03other scenario that there was a line of communication between Russia and
0:47:03 > 0:47:06the United States going under the table dividing the areas and talking
0:47:06 > 0:47:11about which areas should be under the supervision of each one of them,
0:47:11 > 0:47:20especially that there are allies of Russia on the ground, Iran and his
0:47:20 > 0:47:25-- sometimes the United States does something that no one expects, and a
0:47:25 > 0:47:28few weeks ago we were talking about the serene northern borders with
0:47:28 > 0:47:35Turkey and the US announcement, the Kurdish forces that they are
0:47:35 > 0:47:38supporting, it made everything look different for Russia, and the Syrian
0:47:38 > 0:47:45regime and even for Turkey.In terms of the state of the conflict, it is
0:47:45 > 0:47:47not a question of when the opposition loses, just when it
0:47:47 > 0:47:56loses. -- not a question of if the opposition loses.There were clashes
0:47:56 > 0:48:03between an Al-Qaeda faction and other factions on the ground which
0:48:03 > 0:48:09can be called radical, and there are fears amongst the opposition,
0:48:09 > 0:48:15despite the support I got from the Syrian -- they got from the Syrian
0:48:15 > 0:48:22negotiations, and what I got from a the Russian raids, but on the other
0:48:22 > 0:48:26hand, if the opposition is divided, especially in a place like in the
0:48:26 > 0:48:34north of its lip, this will be presented another fear for the
0:48:34 > 0:48:38government and for the opposition had been divided on so many fronts.
0:48:38 > 0:48:46Thanks for joining us.
0:48:46 > 0:48:49We have covered one story from Kenny and now we have got to go back to
0:48:49 > 0:48:53another. -- Kenya.
0:48:53 > 0:48:55One of the world's leading investigators of the illegal trade
0:48:55 > 0:48:57in ivory and rhino horn has been killed in Kenya.
0:48:57 > 0:49:00Esmond Bradley Martin was found in his Nairobi home on Sunday
0:49:00 > 0:49:02with a stab wound to his neck.
0:49:02 > 0:49:03Police suspect it was a botched robbery.
0:49:03 > 0:49:09The former UN special envoy was known for his undercover work
0:49:09 > 0:49:10investigating the black market in ivory.
0:49:10 > 0:49:13Here he is speaking in 2015.
0:49:13 > 0:49:20We have about 400,000 - 450,000 elephants in Africa and we are
0:49:20 > 0:49:23losing 20 - 25,000 a year and most of that seems to be going into China
0:49:23 > 0:49:28where I have been working in the last year. There are these very
0:49:28 > 0:49:33large ivory markets in Africa that need to be closed down. You can go
0:49:33 > 0:49:37to Angola and C 23 tables with 10,000 pieces of ivory, it's
0:49:37 > 0:49:44completely illegal. You see the same kind of thing in Nigeria and Egypt
0:49:44 > 0:49:49and Saddam and sometimes if the OP, but we must close down these illegal
0:49:49 > 0:50:01markets -- Sudan and sometimes if you are.
0:50:01 > 0:50:04The BBC's Alastair Leithead has more.
0:50:04 > 0:50:07He was a colourful man, with colourful suits, and that shocking
0:50:07 > 0:50:13white hair, and he would walk into some of the most dangerous and
0:50:13 > 0:50:16difficult ivory and rhino horn markets in the world and he
0:50:16 > 0:50:21travelled across Africa for many years. And Asia. Going to see people
0:50:21 > 0:50:24who were working with ivory and finding out where the tasks had come
0:50:24 > 0:50:28from and where the trafficking routes were. Posing as a buyer to
0:50:28 > 0:50:38find out the prices and most recently he was in Miami --
0:50:40 > 0:50:47and before that he was all over the world, finding out the price of
0:50:47 > 0:50:53ivory, and discovering that Laos was one of the fastest-growing ivory
0:50:53 > 0:50:57markets in the world. His work has been hugely valuable, he was in
0:50:57 > 0:51:04Kenya over 40 years, his old friend, the founder of save the elephant,
0:51:04 > 0:51:09called him the unsung hero in the work that he did in these underworld
0:51:09 > 0:51:13is across the globe, governing this important information. He was found
0:51:13 > 0:51:18dead in his home -- gathering. He had been stabbed in the neck and his
0:51:18 > 0:51:24wife discovered him. It is not known whether he was killed for his work
0:51:24 > 0:51:28or whether it was simply a robbery that have gone wrong but he will be
0:51:28 > 0:51:38hugely missed by the conservation community around the world.
0:51:38 > 0:51:41For a month now, North and South Korea have been
0:51:41 > 0:51:43ironing out the details of joint-participation in this
0:51:43 > 0:51:44month's Winter Olympics.
0:51:44 > 0:51:46And it's all been about sport and cultural co-operation.
0:51:46 > 0:51:47That's now being added to, though.
0:51:47 > 0:51:50This is Kim Yong Nam - he's nominally the North's number
0:51:50 > 0:51:53two leader to Kim Jong Un - and he will lead the
0:51:53 > 0:51:54delegation to the games.
0:51:54 > 0:52:02Here's the head of the International Olympic Committe's thoughts on this.
0:52:02 > 0:52:09The Olympic spirit has brought two sides together that for too long
0:52:09 > 0:52:16words of I did by mistrust and animosity -- were divided by
0:52:16 > 0:52:21mistrust. The Olympics but has brought real hope for a brighter
0:52:21 > 0:52:27future for everyone. -- the Olympic spirit.
0:52:27 > 0:52:31The South has always been clear that it wanted to use these Olympics
0:52:31 > 0:52:32to bring it closer to the North.
0:52:32 > 0:52:37Here's NPR's Seoul correspondent Elise Hu.
0:52:37 > 0:52:41This overture has been made towards North Korea by South Korean
0:52:41 > 0:52:46President who has favoured a more pro-engagement policy ever since he
0:52:46 > 0:52:51was elected in the spring of 2017 and he has made several overtures to
0:52:51 > 0:52:55the North Koreans to participate in the Olympic Games. It wasn't until
0:52:55 > 0:52:59the 1st of January when Kim Jong-un signalled in his New Year address
0:52:59 > 0:53:06that he would be willing to consider sending a delegation of North
0:53:06 > 0:53:13Koreans down to the games and that led to this moment we are about to
0:53:13 > 0:53:16see, the opening ceremony where the Koreans will march together under a
0:53:16 > 0:53:21unified neutral flag. As the US policy has been this maximum
0:53:21 > 0:53:26pressure, lots of sanctions increasing over time, and South
0:53:26 > 0:53:29Korea has now wedged itself in the middle come at St, we want to make
0:53:29 > 0:53:36peace with North Korea who we are technically at war with -- as now
0:53:36 > 0:53:45wedged itself in the middle of it, saying. This is an authority
0:53:45 > 0:53:47position and it requires some diplomatic threading of the needle
0:53:47 > 0:53:53for South Korea and a lot of coordination between South Korea and
0:53:53 > 0:53:56the US, will be required in order to keep that alliance as strong as it
0:53:56 > 0:54:02had been previously.
0:54:02 > 0:54:04Philadelphia Eagles surprised us all by beating
0:54:04 > 0:54:10the New England Patriots 41-33.
0:54:10 > 0:54:14It's the first time the Eagles have ever taken home the Super Bowl.
0:54:14 > 0:54:21Justin Timberlake performed at half time.
0:54:21 > 0:54:25Pink sang the nation anthem - got through despite being poorly.
0:54:25 > 0:54:27Fan's have been causing trouble on the streets
0:54:27 > 0:54:30and there have been incidents of looting and riots in the streets
0:54:30 > 0:54:35by Philadelphia.
0:54:35 > 0:54:40Most of the people celebrating were just having a good time, though.
0:54:40 > 0:54:42But the BBC's Jane O'Brien is there, and says, over all,
0:54:42 > 0:54:44it's a massive celebration and feelings of jubilation
0:54:44 > 0:54:46on the streets of Philly.
0:54:46 > 0:54:50It is party Monday and the atmosphere is palpable, most people
0:54:50 > 0:54:53were up until three o'clock this morning, and many have taken the day
0:54:53 > 0:54:59off work. Those who managed to struggle in said their commute has
0:54:59 > 0:55:02been the easiest babe remember because the roads are so quiet. --
0:55:02 > 0:55:12they remember. I spoke to Luigi at the pizza place behind me, he said
0:55:12 > 0:55:17Larsson was out of control, he sold 2000 wings. -- he said last night
0:55:17 > 0:55:23was out of control. There are preparations in place for the
0:55:23 > 0:55:25victory parade and I'm reliably informed it will be the biggest
0:55:25 > 0:55:36parade ever seen in Philadelphia. Fly eagles fly.Thank you.
