0:01:09 > 0:01:13Salisbury Hospital here in the UK declared a major
0:01:13 > 0:01:16incident early Monday - it's only in the last few
0:01:16 > 0:01:19hours we've got details as to what's happening.
0:01:19 > 0:01:28It appears to involved an unknown substance,
0:01:28 > 0:01:30a 33-year-old woman and this Russian man, Sergei Skripal,
0:01:30 > 0:01:33he was involved in a high profile prisoner exchange back in 2010.
0:01:33 > 0:01:42Here's the police in Salisbury.
0:01:42 > 0:01:46The pair, who we believe are known to each other did not have any
0:01:46 > 0:01:51visible injuries and were taken to Salisbury District Hospital. They
0:01:51 > 0:01:54are being treated for suspected exposure to an unknown substance.
0:01:54 > 0:01:56The original incident happened outside a shopping
0:01:56 > 0:01:57mall in Salisbury.
0:01:57 > 0:02:00From there, Leila Nathoo.
0:02:00 > 0:02:03Far back in the distance behind where these officers are currently
0:02:03 > 0:02:08working there is a team of officers working in protective suits and
0:02:08 > 0:02:13masks, looking to the contents of a bin. Behind that there is a police
0:02:13 > 0:02:18tent in place which covers a bench. It is a shopping precinct in the
0:02:18 > 0:02:22centre of Salisbury. It was on a bench in this shopping precinct
0:02:22 > 0:02:25whether two were found yesterday afternoon. They were found
0:02:25 > 0:02:30unconscious, but we have spoken to eyewitness who said they appeared to
0:02:30 > 0:02:34be out of it, in their words. One eyewitness said it looked like they
0:02:34 > 0:02:40were on drugs or had been drinking heavily. Police said the two are
0:02:40 > 0:02:44critically ill in hospital and they are investigating they have been
0:02:44 > 0:02:49exposed to an unknown substance. They are refusing to confirm as yet
0:02:49 > 0:02:54what that substance may be. But the BBC understands that one of the two
0:02:54 > 0:03:00people involved was the former Russian spy, Sergei Skripal. He had
0:03:00 > 0:03:08been convicted in 2006 of working, of treason in Russia. He was
0:03:08 > 0:03:12suspected of passing intelligence to the British. In 2010 he was pardoned
0:03:12 > 0:03:16by the Russian government, released to Britain as part of a so-called
0:03:16 > 0:03:22spy swap. Along with three other Russians were released to Britain.
0:03:22 > 0:03:26Now, we understand he is the man involved in this incident, although
0:03:26 > 0:03:30police are unwilling to confirm the identity of him, beyond saying a
0:03:30 > 0:03:3366-year-old man and a 33-year-old woman were found here unconscious
0:03:33 > 0:03:40yesterday. But police are stressing there is no wider risk to the
0:03:40 > 0:03:45public. The major incident they declared, at the local hospital here
0:03:45 > 0:03:49in Salisbury where they are being treated is still functioning and
0:03:49 > 0:03:54people are still going to routine operations and appointments. The
0:03:54 > 0:03:58police are trying to understand how the couple fell unconscious and what
0:03:58 > 0:04:04happened to them.When you hear those words, a Russian national, it
0:04:04 > 0:04:07does ring set an alarm bells because it wouldn't be the first Russian to
0:04:07 > 0:04:17have come to Britain or defected to Britain and be targeted?Many people
0:04:17 > 0:04:22will be thinking of Alexander Litvinenko, who died in the UK back
0:04:22 > 0:04:30in 2006. He was alleged to have been poisoned by the Russian authorities,
0:04:30 > 0:04:33and another Russian intelligence officer. Many unanswered questions
0:04:33 > 0:04:37yet and we don't know any details of what happened to Sergei Skripal in
0:04:37 > 0:04:43between the time when he came to Britain in 2010 and now. We
0:04:43 > 0:04:47understand he has been living in Salisbury, certainly when we visited
0:04:47 > 0:04:53residents, we believe to be his house nearby, there was a police car
0:04:53 > 0:04:55stood outside it. Although neighbours said they hadn't seen him
0:04:55 > 0:05:01for while. Clearly, many unanswered questions here about what exactly
0:05:01 > 0:05:06has happened to him, what substance he had been exposed to to leave him
0:05:06 > 0:05:15and his 33-year-old companion in a critical condition in hospital.
0:05:15 > 0:05:20There is much more on that on the BBC online.
0:05:20 > 0:05:23Italy is Europe's third largest economy and in the world's top ten.
0:05:23 > 0:05:25But in political terms, it's rudderless.
0:05:25 > 0:05:28It looks like there'll be a hung parliament after its voters gave
0:05:28 > 0:05:30right-wing and populist parties a boost in Sunday's election.
0:05:30 > 0:05:37With 99% of votes counted, results show the Euro-sceptic,
0:05:37 > 0:05:40anti-establishment Five Star Movement as the biggest
0:05:40 > 0:05:42single party with almost a third of the vote.
0:05:42 > 0:05:52Here's its leader Luigi Di Maio.
0:05:52 > 0:05:57TRANSLATION: For the five Star Movement, this general election has
0:05:57 > 0:06:01been a triumph.We are the overall winners of the selection. So first
0:06:01 > 0:06:07and foremost, a big thank you to be about 11 million Italians who voted
0:06:07 > 0:06:14for us. They gave us the honour of giving us their vote. It is an
0:06:14 > 0:06:21honour to have such an endorsement as the first party of the country.
0:06:21 > 0:06:25Despite Five Star's success, a coalition of the far-right looks
0:06:25 > 0:06:27set to win the most seats in the lower house of parliament.
0:06:27 > 0:06:29The League's leader Matteo Salvini would likely head up that coalition
0:06:29 > 0:06:39and has declared his party has the "right and duty" to govern.
0:06:40 > 0:06:45TRANSLATION: I keep my word. I keep the commitments I make with the 6
0:06:45 > 0:06:54million Italians.This commitment is a centre-right coalition with which
0:06:54 > 0:07:01we have the right and the duty to rule and to govern in the next few
0:07:01 > 0:07:02years.
0:07:02 > 0:07:10Our Europe editor Katya Adler tweets...
0:07:15 > 0:07:17You'll remember last year's French elections saw the far-right
0:07:17 > 0:07:24candidate Marine Le Pen reach the presidential run off.
0:07:25 > 0:07:29She has treated happily about what has happened in Italy.
0:07:33 > 0:07:38One other thing to show you quickly.
0:07:38 > 0:07:41The Italian newspaper La Repubblica has mapped the election results,
0:07:41 > 0:07:43and you can see how the vote split the country in half.
0:07:43 > 0:07:47The yellow in the south of the country is where five Star won.
0:07:47 > 0:07:49The dark blue in the north is where the centre-right won.
0:07:49 > 0:07:56Let's go back to Karin in Rome.
0:07:56 > 0:08:01If you look at the map of the way people voted in Italy, you will see
0:08:01 > 0:08:05the political divide and that is because of the economic divide. The
0:08:05 > 0:08:15North is so much more prosperous than the south. The South has lower
0:08:15 > 0:08:29productivity. The North has opted for the centre-right Forza Italia or
0:08:29 > 0:08:33Northern League. The five Star Movement on its own is the single
0:08:33 > 0:08:36biggest party. Whether the people who voted for change in terms of
0:08:36 > 0:08:40voting for the five Star Movement, actually get to see it get its hands
0:08:40 > 0:08:45on big power in government is a big question, because the centre-right
0:08:45 > 0:08:49coalition has come first as a block and it may be the one that is
0:08:49 > 0:08:53granted the mandate by the president to try to form a government. It is
0:08:53 > 0:08:59just short of the 40%, so it does have to enter into coalition talks.
0:08:59 > 0:09:04But it is a big question whether the system will simply not allow the
0:09:04 > 0:09:08five Star Movement, as it is, to actually take power.
0:09:08 > 0:09:10And what about those who were in government?
0:09:10 > 0:09:12Well the centre-left Democratic Party did
0:09:12 > 0:09:14worse than expected, leaving its leader, the former
0:09:14 > 0:09:24Prime Minister Matteo Renzi, with only one way - out.
0:09:25 > 0:09:27TRANSLATION: It is obvious that after this I will leave my post of
0:09:27 > 0:09:38lead to the Democratic Party. I have already asked the chairman to call a
0:09:38 > 0:09:48national assembly to start the procedure. This will happen at the
0:09:48 > 0:09:52end of the stage of the new parliament are forming and the new
0:09:52 > 0:09:57government forming.
0:09:57 > 0:10:01We have an Italian journalist and she has more on Matty Arendse's
0:10:01 > 0:10:08expected departure. He said that he wants to resign
0:10:08 > 0:10:15after the parliament has elected the president of the House of Commons
0:10:15 > 0:10:20and the president of the Senate. But he has not resigned yet, so this is
0:10:20 > 0:10:25a little bit crazy at the moment. The Democratic Party, we do not know
0:10:25 > 0:10:31what will happen. Certainly, it will open up a competition to run the
0:10:31 > 0:10:37secretary back again.There was a line used in British politics where
0:10:37 > 0:10:44one politician taunted another and said, you were the future, once. I
0:10:44 > 0:10:48guess that could be said of Matty Arendse, and I wonder who is the
0:10:48 > 0:10:57future now?The future now is the five Star Movement and the Northern
0:10:57 > 0:11:06League. The Northern League was the past, but with Mattiello Salvini, is
0:11:06 > 0:11:15the future again. There is no majority at all. The centre-right
0:11:15 > 0:11:19coalition is the first coalition and the five star movement is the first
0:11:19 > 0:11:26party but the parliament is divided into three major forces and the
0:11:26 > 0:11:30fourth is the centre left with the Democratic Party. It will be
0:11:30 > 0:11:34difficult to elect the president of the chamber of the House of Commons
0:11:34 > 0:11:42and the president of the Senate. But, I think the head of state, the
0:11:42 > 0:11:48president of the Republic is waiting to see what happens in the
0:11:48 > 0:11:53parliament after these elections coming at the end of March.Italian
0:11:53 > 0:11:57politics often involves coalitions and negotiation, but even by Italian
0:11:57 > 0:12:04standards, is this mess?This is a mess, also by Italian standards.
0:12:04 > 0:12:15Because we used to have the country divided into two and centre left.
0:12:15 > 0:12:19Now it is centre-right, centre-left and the five Star Movement. The
0:12:19 > 0:12:24country itself is divided in two, between North who voted for the
0:12:24 > 0:12:27centre-right coalition and the South, which voted for the five Star
0:12:27 > 0:12:35Movement. It is MS, yes.
0:12:35 > 0:12:38President Trump has hit out again at foreign steel producers
0:12:38 > 0:12:40that he feels dump their products on the American market.
0:12:40 > 0:12:47See for yourself how strongly he feels about this.
0:12:47 > 0:12:52People have to understand, our country on trade has been ripped off
0:12:52 > 0:12:56by virtually every country in the world, whether it is friend or
0:12:56 > 0:13:05enemy. Everybody. China, Russia... People we think are wonderful, the
0:13:05 > 0:13:09European Union. We cannot do business with them, they don't
0:13:09 > 0:13:20allow, they have trade barriers that are worse than tariffs.Let's think
0:13:20 > 0:13:24about what he meant when he said trade wars are good because he might
0:13:24 > 0:13:28be getting one. Let's look at what might be implicated here. The EU
0:13:28 > 0:13:37said it might slap heavy tariffs on Levi jeans. And Bourbon products and
0:13:37 > 0:13:44the EU was talking about a 25% import tax. We want to show you
0:13:44 > 0:13:49about where the US gets its steel from.
0:13:49 > 0:13:50Canada's at the top.
0:13:50 > 0:13:54Today it joined fellow members of the World Trade Organisation,
0:13:54 > 0:13:56including the EU, Mexico and Australia, South Korea and
0:13:56 > 0:13:59India, to warn against the US plans.
0:13:59 > 0:14:09Even members of President Trump's own party are urging a re-think.
0:14:10 > 0:14:12here's Republican Senator Mike Lee...
0:14:12 > 0:14:13It is a "huge job-killing tax hike
0:14:13 > 0:14:14on American consumers."
0:14:14 > 0:14:16And here's another Republican senator Lindsay Graham explaining
0:14:16 > 0:14:18that the tariffs won't tackle the underlying problem -
0:14:18 > 0:14:21the glut of cheap steel on the market, that's largely
0:14:21 > 0:14:28produced by China.
0:14:28 > 0:14:31China is winning and we are losing with this tariff regime. You are
0:14:31 > 0:14:36letting China of the hot, punishing the American consumer and our
0:14:36 > 0:14:41allies. Go after China, not the rest of the world.
0:14:41 > 0:14:48Here's Barbara Plett-Usher in Washington,
0:14:48 > 0:14:52The formal announcement hasn't been made yet but the rhetoric coming out
0:14:52 > 0:14:56of the White House is pretty tough. It is actually US allies which would
0:14:56 > 0:15:01suffer the most, which is ironic, including Mexico and Canada. Today,
0:15:01 > 0:15:06President Trump suggested they might get a carved out if they play nice
0:15:06 > 0:15:10with these applets to renegotiate the American free trade agreement,
0:15:10 > 0:15:13which is probably not going to soothe any tempers, but it might
0:15:13 > 0:15:20suggest it is still a progress. When Mr Trump made the announcement last
0:15:20 > 0:15:25week, he took everyone by surprise. He went ahead and did it. According
0:15:25 > 0:15:28to reports, he was having a bad house at the White House and he got
0:15:28 > 0:15:32fed up saying he could not follow his instincts on tariffs, so he took
0:15:32 > 0:15:37matters into his own hands. People are hoping he will reverse it or
0:15:37 > 0:15:45mitigate it in some way.I will just bring up a quote from Paul Ryan, who
0:15:45 > 0:15:49says we are extremely worried about the consequences of a trade war and
0:15:49 > 0:15:52we are urging the White House not to advance with this plan. But he is
0:15:52 > 0:15:59one of the President's top allies in Congress?Yes, there are many more
0:15:59 > 0:16:03people against this move than those for it. The Republican party is
0:16:03 > 0:16:09against it. It is a strong statement from Paul Ryan and members of the
0:16:09 > 0:16:16business community have been very worried about a possible trade war
0:16:16 > 0:16:18and the consequences for American industry and business, because of
0:16:18 > 0:16:25it. They are lobbying to try to get Mr Trump to back down, saying this
0:16:25 > 0:16:30is a really bad idea. From what Paul Ryan was saying coming he is
0:16:30 > 0:16:35prepared to go head-to-head with the president on this.We want to talk
0:16:35 > 0:16:40about one more story about President Trump. He was making those trade
0:16:40 > 0:16:42comments in the White House alongside Benjamin Netanyahu. When
0:16:42 > 0:16:46Mr Trump had finished, this is what the Israeli Prime Minister had to
0:16:46 > 0:16:53say.This is the first time we have met in Washington, America's capital
0:16:53 > 0:17:01after you declared, Mr President, Jerusalem as Israel's capital. This
0:17:01 > 0:17:03was an historic proclamation, followed by your bold decision to
0:17:03 > 0:17:12move the embassy on our up and coming national Independence Day.
0:17:12 > 0:17:18Why has this been such a very big deal?In its context it is good news
0:17:18 > 0:17:22for Benjamin Netanyahu because he is mired in bribery and corruption
0:17:22 > 0:17:27scandals at home. Abysmally by Mr Trump to recognise Jerusalem as the
0:17:27 > 0:17:32capital of Israel and saying the US will move it embassy there is
0:17:32 > 0:17:36popular. We expect Benjamin Netanyahu make a big deal of it in
0:17:36 > 0:17:40his comments and he did. Mr Trump responded by saying he may go to
0:17:40 > 0:17:45Israel for the opening of the embassy. But as we know, the
0:17:45 > 0:17:48Palestinians are furious about this decision because they want East
0:17:48 > 0:17:53Jerusalem as their capital and they feel Mr Trump has taken that option
0:17:53 > 0:17:56away from them. They are boycotting his peace efforts. Mr Trump said
0:17:56 > 0:18:00they wanted to come back to the table, but he provided no evidence
0:18:00 > 0:18:05for that and they haven't provided any evidence either. We not
0:18:05 > 0:18:08expecting any roll-out of this long-awaited peace plan during this
0:18:08 > 0:18:09visit.

0:18:26 > 0:18:28planning rules in England.
0:18:28 > 0:18:29Labour called them "feeble."
0:18:29 > 0:18:32but Theresa May says home ownership "largely unaffordable" to those not
0:18:32 > 0:18:39backed by "the bank of mum and dad".
0:18:39 > 0:18:42I want to seek planning permission going to people who will build
0:18:42 > 0:18:49houses, not just sit on the land and watch its value rise. The councils
0:18:49 > 0:18:53are allocating sufficient lands for the home people need and a new
0:18:53 > 0:18:57planning rule book. Developers building on large sites that aren't
0:18:57 > 0:19:00allocated in the plan. Something that is not fair on residents who
0:19:00 > 0:19:05agree to a plan, only to see it ignored. By ending abuse of the
0:19:05 > 0:19:09viability assessment process, we will make it much harder for
0:19:09 > 0:19:12unscrupulous developers to dodge their obligation to build homes
0:19:12 > 0:19:15local people can afford. The government will make sure land is

0:20:29 > 0:20:32If you're a Brazil supporter, it's not what you want to see 100
0:20:32 > 0:20:35days before the World Cup kicks off in Russia.
0:20:35 > 0:20:37He'll be assessed by club doctors at Paris Saint-Germain
0:20:37 > 0:20:43in the next couple of weeks.
0:20:43 > 0:20:47Shale oil output in the US is set to surge over the next five years,
0:20:47 > 0:20:49moving the United States, once the world's top oil importer,
0:20:49 > 0:20:53closer to self sufficiency.
0:20:53 > 0:20:57That's according to the International Energy Agency.
0:20:57 > 0:21:06Joe Miller joins me now from New York.
0:21:06 > 0:21:11This has been the story over the last few years, the boom in shale?
0:21:11 > 0:21:17It has been an incredible story. One of the fundamental truths of the
0:21:17 > 0:21:21energy market and the political reality for decades in the past has
0:21:21 > 0:21:27always been that the US imports its oil and the biggest oil producers at
0:21:27 > 0:21:30the Opec cartel countries, mainly the middle east, including Nigeria
0:21:30 > 0:21:36and what we have seen in the last few years, is this reversing. In
0:21:36 > 0:21:412014 when the oil price started to drop, there was talk about Opec
0:21:41 > 0:21:45countries cutting their supply to boost the price. They did that and
0:21:45 > 0:21:50they got shot in the foot, because what happened was, US shale
0:21:50 > 0:21:55producers in New Mexico and Texas managed to cut costs and become even
0:21:55 > 0:21:59more competitive and now the International energy agency is
0:21:59 > 0:22:02saying 80% of the increased demand over the next couple of years will
0:22:02 > 0:22:07be met by American shale. So that is cutting Opec and the measures Opec
0:22:07 > 0:22:14can take to affect the oil price, out of the picture. So they are
0:22:14 > 0:22:18extraordinary times.The change in the oil and energy industry always
0:22:18 > 0:22:23revert through politics. Venezuela, which could ride high on its oil for
0:22:23 > 0:22:30so long and prices have been slipping?Absolutely, this is linked
0:22:30 > 0:22:34to politics and what we might soon see is politicians in the US begin
0:22:34 > 0:22:39to talk about this as a major win. It has been happening quietly in the
0:22:39 > 0:22:44background, but many before President Trump, would have given
0:22:44 > 0:22:49their left hand to have energy self-sufficiency. Depending what the
0:22:49 > 0:22:54market does, they will give it a little while to see if the price
0:22:54 > 0:22:57stabilises and how long this boom lasts. But towards the end of the
0:22:57 > 0:23:05year we expect the US to become the world's largest oil producer and
0:23:05 > 0:23:09then we will hear US politicians and beyond talking about that and that
0:23:09 > 0:23:14will feed into a lot of diplomatic relations across the globe.Good to
0:23:14 > 0:23:15hear from you.
0:23:15 > 0:23:18China has set its 2018 growth target at around 6.5%,
0:23:18 > 0:23:20a faster expansion than any western economy could dream of.
0:23:20 > 0:23:23But behind the strong figures there are concerns China's economy
0:23:23 > 0:23:24is too reliant on debt.
0:23:24 > 0:23:33Here's Celia Hatton our Asia Pacific Editor with her take on the story.
0:23:33 > 0:23:37The Chinese economy is like one of those inkblot tests. You see what
0:23:37 > 0:23:43you want to see. If you want to go with what the Chinese government is
0:23:43 > 0:23:46telling you, 6.5%, I am sure they will hit that target. The economy
0:23:46 > 0:23:51will try to remain at a stable pace, growth will be a bit slower, but
0:23:51 > 0:23:55they will try to manage that. But if you are one of the economists who
0:23:55 > 0:23:58are worrying and want to question those numbers, there is a lot to
0:23:58 > 0:24:07question. The main thing that hasn't been achieved is economic reform.
0:24:07 > 0:24:11The president pledged early on they would try to retract the
0:24:11 > 0:24:15government's role in the economy and let market forces take over. But he
0:24:15 > 0:24:19has committed more money to infrastructure spending. He has
0:24:19 > 0:24:21invested more government money in the economy and that is what
0:24:21 > 0:24:28economists have been saying all along that he has got to stop doing.
0:24:28 > 0:24:29Burger-flipping - its hot, smelly and repetitive.
0:24:29 > 0:24:31So is this the perfect task for a machine?
0:24:31 > 0:24:34Today, a burger flipping robot debuts at the California-based
0:24:34 > 0:24:39chain Caliburger.
0:24:39 > 0:24:45This is the robot that can replace one of life's Basic unskilled jobs.
0:24:45 > 0:24:51It uses image recognition and heat sensing technology to know which
0:24:51 > 0:24:55burgers can Billy macaroni flipping. They can handle 12 burgers I once.
0:24:55 > 0:25:02But there is little doubt what the eventual impact will be.There will
0:25:02 > 0:25:08be changes in the way workers are hired.What does that mean a typical
0:25:08 > 0:25:12restaurant in the future will have fewer human employees than it does
0:25:12 > 0:25:21now?Back could be possible.It costs $6,000 and $12,000 a year to
0:25:21 > 0:25:28run. The first one can be found in Pasadena near Los Angeles.It is not
0:25:28 > 0:25:36a nice job. We train them for a few weeks and then they leave.It still
0:25:36 > 0:25:41needs a bit of a helping hand, however and it made regular mistakes
0:25:41 > 0:25:47that no human ever would.If I to anybody in behind the grill tomorrow
0:25:47 > 0:25:55and ask them to start cooking, would you forget to flip the burgers. This
0:25:55 > 0:26:05will get smarter, we're just getting started.The robot made this
0:26:05 > 0:26:09burgers. I have had a few burgers in my time and that is very good.
0:26:09 > 0:26:12Please stay with us.
0:26:15 > 0:26:19It is nowhere near as cold as it was last week a milder conditions have
0:26:19 > 0:26:24spread to most parts of the UK. Still colder northern areas,
0:26:24 > 0:26:28particularly in Scotland where we have had more snow falling today.
0:26:28 > 0:26:31Wintry looking scene here in contrast that with something that
0:26:31 > 0:26:36looks more like spring and we had some sunshine at Walton on Thames in
0:26:36 > 0:26:42Surrey. We have lost the beast from the east, the bitterly cold Siberian
0:26:42 > 0:26:46winds and the air is coming from the south and that has been drawing in
0:26:46 > 0:26:50milder air across most of the UK. You can clearly see where it is
0:26:50 > 0:26:53still cold. Low pressure dominating the weather at the moment. Within
0:26:53 > 0:26:57that area of low pressure we have this weather system here and it is
0:26:57 > 0:27:00tracking its way northwards and it is that that has been producing the
0:27:00 > 0:27:04rain. The rain is heavy and moving northwards into the colder air so we
0:27:04 > 0:27:18will get a bit of snow over the tops of the Pennines, the
0:27:19 > 0:27:22Cumbrian back into Scotland over the hills. As it turns drier to the
0:27:22 > 0:27:24south with no wind, it will turn misty with low cloud. Typical
0:27:24 > 0:27:26temperatures overnight, two or three degrees. The risk of some frost. The
0:27:26 > 0:27:31wettest weather over the north of the UK tomorrow morning. In
0:27:31 > 0:27:34Scotland, sleet and snow over the hills. It should brighten up across
0:27:34 > 0:27:40northern England and Northern Ireland. In the middle it could be
0:27:40 > 0:27:50cloudy. A range of temperatures. Still low pressure in charge as we
0:27:50 > 0:27:54head into the middle part of the week. Nothing much is moving at all,
0:27:54 > 0:27:59the weather from bringing some showers. It keeps the wetter weather
0:27:59 > 0:28:02going. More towards the Highlands and Islands and there will be some
0:28:02 > 0:28:08snow over the hills. Further south across England and Wales, a bit of a
0:28:08 > 0:28:11breeze picking up and that will break up the clouds some more and
0:28:11 > 0:28:14the chance of some sunshine. But that could be some sharp showers
0:28:14 > 0:28:23around. Lighter winds. A disappointing temperature on
0:28:23 > 0:28:29Wednesday. But there should be more sunshine around on Thursday. But
0:28:29 > 0:28:33whether this is clinging to Scotland. Some of the showers could
0:28:33 > 0:28:36be heavy.
0:30:11 > 0:30:14Versus Outside Source, these are the main stories here in the BBC

0:31:13 > 0:31:17Welcome to Outside Source.
0:31:17 > 0:31:21Salisbury Hospital here in the UK declared a 'major
0:31:21 > 0:31:23incident' early Monday - it's only in the last few
0:31:23 > 0:31:26hours we've got details as to what's happening.
0:31:26 > 0:31:30It appears to involved an unknown substance,
0:31:30 > 0:31:33a 33 year-old woman and this Russian man - Sergei Skripal -
0:31:33 > 0:31:39he was involved in a high profile prisoner exchange back in 2010.
0:31:39 > 0:31:46Here's the police in Salisbury.
0:31:46 > 0:31:50The pair, who we believe are known to each other, did not have any
0:31:50 > 0:31:54visible injuries, and were taken to Salisbury District Hospital. They
0:31:54 > 0:31:57are currently being treated for suspected exposure to an unknown
0:31:57 > 0:32:03substance.
0:32:03 > 0:32:05Joining me now in the studio is the UK investigations
0:32:05 > 0:32:09editor for BuzzFeed News, Heidi Blake.
0:32:09 > 0:32:14This southern illness of Mr Skripal, does it suggest you that Russian
0:32:14 > 0:32:19intelligence is involved or is it taking it too far -- sudden illness.
0:32:19 > 0:32:22Certainly this apparent poisoning there is some other hallmarks of the
0:32:22 > 0:32:25Russian state linked investigation we have investigated over at
0:32:25 > 0:32:30Buzzfeed news over the last couple of years. Know that the Russians
0:32:30 > 0:32:34Secret Service uses a sophisticated array of poisons to eliminate
0:32:34 > 0:32:41enemies outside Russian borders. We know that Vladimir Putin has passed
0:32:41 > 0:32:44a law authorising the FSB, the successors to the KGB, to go outside
0:32:44 > 0:32:52Russia and terminate enemies of the Kremlin. And Sergei Skripal fits pro
0:32:52 > 0:32:55much the standard description of the sort of person who is likely to be a
0:32:55 > 0:33:02target. He is a former try -- a former spy, seen as a traitor in
0:33:02 > 0:33:08Russia, and Vladimir Putin is a former KGB man himself, so a spy who
0:33:08 > 0:33:14defects and betrays mother Russia is highly vulnerable.And seen as the
0:33:14 > 0:33:19lowest of the low from the Kremlin's point of view. When you hear the
0:33:19 > 0:33:21word former spy involved commute into the about Alexander Lydon
0:33:21 > 0:33:31Janko.That is right, he was the most famous Russian assassination in
0:33:31 > 0:33:35Britain -- Alexander Livinenko. He died of polonium poisoning after two
0:33:35 > 0:33:41FSB assassins came over to assassinate him, and a public
0:33:41 > 0:33:46enquiry found out it was a hit probably carried out on the orders
0:33:46 > 0:33:52of Vladimir Putin himself will stop we have completed 14 cases where
0:33:52 > 0:33:58evidence points to Russia, and we know MI6 has evidence connected to a
0:33:58 > 0:34:04total of 14 deaths in Britain with Russia.You investigated it, people
0:34:04 > 0:34:08have looked at this but it has not been front-page news in the way that
0:34:08 > 0:34:13this is, almost immediately.That's right, and the difference is that
0:34:13 > 0:34:16the British police have come out and made a statement saying this is a
0:34:16 > 0:34:20major incident, and that they are treating this very seriously. Now
0:34:20 > 0:34:25that is very different from the other 14 cases we have looked at.
0:34:25 > 0:34:28Saint Litvinenko, they have not been a Russian suspected assassination
0:34:28 > 0:34:32that the Blues have made any statement about at all, and in the
0:34:32 > 0:34:3514 cases we have looked at those overwhelming evidence pointing at
0:34:35 > 0:34:39Russia, that in all those cases the police have publicly said they are
0:34:39 > 0:34:43not suspicious, despite what we know of existing evidence connecting back
0:34:43 > 0:34:48to Russia. There has been a change in Steptoe, the authorities have
0:34:48 > 0:34:54come out and confronted the Russian link.What we can say is that the
0:34:54 > 0:34:56relationship between the UK and Russia is it a pretty low Ebright
0:34:56 > 0:35:00now.There is growing concern in British governance circles on both
0:35:00 > 0:35:04sides of the Atlantic about the surgeons of Russia, Russian
0:35:04 > 0:35:07interference in Western democracies, and increasingly bold moves by
0:35:07 > 0:35:11Russian state actors in the West. We know from our intelligence sources
0:35:11 > 0:35:15there is mounting alarm about that, and this very public statement by
0:35:15 > 0:35:19the police is a marker of the degree of concern the British government is
0:35:19 > 0:35:22currently feeling about Russian activities in the UK.Coming back to
0:35:22 > 0:35:27where we are here and now, this man is critically ill in hospital in
0:35:27 > 0:35:31Salisbury, and what is being looked at now is what is in his system.
0:35:31 > 0:35:36That's right, early indications are that it may be connected to the
0:35:36 > 0:35:40drug, fentanyl, a very strong form of heroin, but it is very unclear at
0:35:40 > 0:35:45this point as to what the substance itself is. What we do know about the
0:35:45 > 0:35:50Russian state is that the FSB has a factory outside Moscow, where they
0:35:50 > 0:35:54develop poisons specifically in order to use in targeted
0:35:54 > 0:35:58assassinations Nari 's, so the state has a vast array of poisons, some of
0:35:58 > 0:36:01which are undetectable, some of which might trigger cardiac arrest
0:36:01 > 0:36:05or other apparently natural illnesses. So it is very early days,
0:36:05 > 0:36:08we don't know what this is yet, and of course it may be that this is not
0:36:08 > 0:36:13a poisoning, we don't know. That is all under investigation.Enough
0:36:13 > 0:36:16alarm bells seemed to be ringing, Heidi Blake, thank you but talking
0:36:16 > 0:36:22to us. Something we have been covering, their national elections
0:36:22 > 0:36:25are just around the corner.
0:36:25 > 0:36:28One of Vladimir Putin's first moves on coming to power 18 years ago
0:36:28 > 0:36:30was to bring TV channels under state control.
0:36:30 > 0:36:32Since then Russia has been accused of taking
0:36:32 > 0:36:34the information war abroad - using trolls to manipulate public
0:36:34 > 0:36:36opinion on social media.
0:36:36 > 0:36:38In the first of her series ahead of Russia's presidential elections,
0:36:38 > 0:36:48our correspondent Sarah Rainsford reports from Tomsk in Siberia.
0:36:53 > 0:36:55This was Viktor's life for over 20 years.
0:36:55 > 0:36:58Here in Siberia, he created a popular independent TV channel,
0:36:58 > 0:37:00but three years ago, TV2 was taken off air.
0:37:00 > 0:37:02Officially, it was a license dispute, but Viktor
0:37:02 > 0:37:05is sure it was political.
0:37:05 > 0:37:07The channel annoyed everyone in power locally.
0:37:07 > 0:37:12The team saw that as their job.
0:37:12 > 0:37:17But reining in the free press was one
0:37:17 > 0:37:20of Vladimir Putin's first moves as president.
0:37:20 > 0:37:23Far from Moscow, TV2 was one of the last survivors.
0:37:23 > 0:37:26TRANSLATION:It's obvious we were no threat here in Tomsk.
0:37:26 > 0:37:30But the authorities are constantly afraid.
0:37:30 > 0:37:32Afraid of revolution or losing control, they want to control
0:37:32 > 0:37:34everything, but that's impossible.
0:37:34 > 0:37:40And they don't trust anyone.
0:37:40 > 0:37:43Now Russia's information war has moved onto the internet,
0:37:43 > 0:37:48so we travel to one of the key battle grounds.
0:37:48 > 0:37:55From St Petersburg, the Kremlin's been accused
0:37:55 > 0:37:57of using the internet to manipulate opinion
0:37:57 > 0:37:58not just at home but abroad.
0:37:58 > 0:38:01This place has become notorious as Russia's troll factory.
0:38:01 > 0:38:04It's mostly empty now, up for rent, but a criminal indictment
0:38:04 > 0:38:08in the United States claims staff here were deployed as an online army
0:38:08 > 0:38:14to sow discord, and influence voters in America.
0:38:14 > 0:38:17Ludmilla shows me the blog of one of the fake characters
0:38:17 > 0:38:19she helped to create.
0:38:19 > 0:38:21She leaked information from inside the troll factory
0:38:21 > 0:38:25that exposed how it worked.
0:38:25 > 0:38:27Her focus was Russian language content,
0:38:27 > 0:38:29and she tells me the trolls operated in shifts,
0:38:29 > 0:38:33ordered to produce up to 80 posts on social media every single day.
0:38:34 > 0:38:38TRANSLATION:It's a huge machine.
0:38:38 > 0:38:41I'd see thousands of posts appearing under every news story
0:38:41 > 0:38:44right before my eyes.
0:38:44 > 0:38:49If a troll spoke about America or Ukraine, it had to be negative.
0:38:49 > 0:38:52If it was Putin or Russia's military, it was positive.
0:38:52 > 0:38:53Bloggers got written instructions what to present
0:38:53 > 0:39:00and the conclusions that people should draw.
0:39:00 > 0:39:03And it seems the trolls are still operating.
0:39:03 > 0:39:06We've been told that the troll factory has moved here to this
0:39:06 > 0:39:09premises, so I'm just going to see if any of these people in
0:39:09 > 0:39:11the smoking shelter opposite actually work there
0:39:11 > 0:39:14and what they can tell me.
0:39:19 > 0:39:21This man tells me he's seen them here
0:39:21 > 0:39:25and he doesn't like what they do.
0:39:25 > 0:39:26Inside, we met a representative of one firm named in
0:39:26 > 0:39:33the US indictment, but he wouldn't comment on camera about its work.
0:39:33 > 0:39:35Back in Siberia, Viktor and his wife show me
0:39:35 > 0:39:38how easily the traditional media have been tamed.
0:39:38 > 0:39:40When there were mass protests against closing TV2,
0:39:40 > 0:39:45state-run channels ignored them completely.
0:39:45 > 0:39:47Information is being controlled now, even weaponised, and
0:39:47 > 0:39:51under Vladimir Putin, this couple see no chance of that changing.
0:40:01 > 0:40:07Don't forget you can get much more detail on our top stories
0:40:07 > 0:40:10on our website.
0:40:10 > 0:40:12There's plenty of background on the former
0:40:12 > 0:40:16Russian spy found poisoned in southern england.
0:40:16 > 0:40:18The Irish Prime Minister has ruled out formal three-way
0:40:18 > 0:40:20talks between the UK, Ireland and the EU over
0:40:20 > 0:40:23avoiding a hard border on the island of Ireland.
0:40:23 > 0:40:25Leo Varadkar said such a debate would not be in Ireland's
0:40:25 > 0:40:27interests and that Ireland was stronger negotiating
0:40:27 > 0:40:28as part of the EU 27.
0:40:28 > 0:40:33Let's just remind you of the issue at stake.
0:40:33 > 0:40:35Once the UK leaves the EU, Northern Ireland,
0:40:35 > 0:40:37which is part of the UK, will be outside the
0:40:38 > 0:40:39EU's customs union.
0:40:39 > 0:40:42But it's feared that a physical customs border could become a magnet
0:40:42 > 0:40:47for sectarian violence and all sides have vowed to avoid it.
0:40:48 > 0:40:50On that subject, the Irish Republican party Sinn Fein
0:40:50 > 0:40:53has been holding talks with the EU's chief Brexit negotiator today.
0:40:53 > 0:40:56Party President Mary Lou McDonald, who you can see in the middle here,
0:40:56 > 0:40:59said they'd shared a meeting of minds and there could be
0:40:59 > 0:41:00no overall agreement on Brexit unless the issue
0:41:01 > 0:41:04of the border was solved.
0:41:06 > 0:41:08Meanwhile, the British Prime Minister has been updating
0:41:08 > 0:41:17Parliament on the talks' progress following her speech on Friday.
0:41:19 > 0:41:22We cannot escape the complexity of the task ahead.
0:41:22 > 0:41:24We must build a new and lasting relationship while preparing
0:41:24 > 0:41:25for every scenario.
0:41:25 > 0:41:27But with pragmatism, calm and patient discussion,
0:41:27 > 0:41:34I am confident...
0:41:34 > 0:41:35JEERING
0:41:35 > 0:41:38I am confident we can set an example to the world.
0:41:38 > 0:41:40Yes...
0:41:40 > 0:41:43Yes, there will be ups and downs over the months ahead.
0:41:43 > 0:41:45But we will not...
0:41:45 > 0:41:47JEERING
0:41:47 > 0:41:50We will not be buffeted by demands to talk tough or threaten a walkout.
0:41:50 > 0:41:55And we will not give into the of despair,
0:41:55 > 0:41:58And we will not give into the councils of despair,
0:41:58 > 0:41:59that they simply cannot be done.
0:41:59 > 0:42:00Hear, hear!
0:42:00 > 0:42:09For this is in both the UK and EU's interests.
0:42:09 > 0:42:11But the leader of the Opposition Jeremy
0:42:11 > 0:42:15Corbyn was dismissive.
0:42:15 > 0:42:1720 months have passed since the referendum.
0:42:17 > 0:42:19A year has passed since the triggering of Article 50.
0:42:19 > 0:42:2220 wasted months, in which the arrogance of some
0:42:22 > 0:42:25of the cabinet who said it would be the easiest deal in history has
0:42:25 > 0:42:30turned into debilitating infighting.
0:42:30 > 0:42:33We've seen set-piece speech after set piece-speech.
0:42:33 > 0:42:35Yet the Prime Minister still cannot bring clarity to these negotiations,
0:42:35 > 0:42:43and still cannot bring certainty to British businesses or workers.
0:42:43 > 0:42:45The Prime Minister's speech on Friday promised
0:42:45 > 0:42:48to unite the nation.
0:42:48 > 0:42:50Yet it barely papered over the cracks in her own party.
0:42:50 > 0:42:59Hear, hear!
0:42:59 > 0:43:02Opponents of Brexit have criticised the government's
0:43:02 > 0:43:07approach to Brexit as trying to "have your cake and eat it" -
0:43:07 > 0:43:08a reference to wanting the EU's benefits without its obligations.
0:43:08 > 0:43:13But former Conservative party leader Iain Duncan Smith was unapologetic.
0:43:13 > 0:43:17Bringing these decisions back to a British parliament in future to make
0:43:17 > 0:43:20all the shows and is about our arrangement is exactly about
0:43:20 > 0:43:24delivering on that, and when she gets into negotiations with their
0:43:24 > 0:43:31European counterparts about trade arrangements, could she remind them
0:43:31 > 0:43:37that cake exists to be eaten and Cherries exist to be picked.
0:43:37 > 0:43:38So far in the programme we've talked Italy's election,
0:43:39 > 0:43:40Russia's upcoming election.
0:43:40 > 0:43:41Now we turn to Sierra Leone.
0:43:41 > 0:43:43The country goes to the polls this week -
0:43:43 > 0:43:46it's the first time since that devastating Ebola outbreak that left
0:43:46 > 0:43:47nearly 4,000 people dead.
0:43:47 > 0:43:50And after Ebola, there was a mudslide that took the lives
0:43:50 > 0:43:53of another 1,000 people.
0:43:53 > 0:44:00After 10 years at the helm - this man,
0:44:00 > 0:44:03President Ernest Bai Koorooma - is standing down, as mandated
0:44:03 > 0:44:04by the constitution.
0:44:04 > 0:44:05But he leaves behind a feeble economy.
0:44:05 > 0:44:15From the capital, Freetown, Umaru Fofana reports.
0:44:17 > 0:44:22It is more than 300 years since slaves were brought to Freetown
0:44:22 > 0:44:26through the sport, but some traders feel economically enslaved. Many of
0:44:26 > 0:44:33the traders here are women, often widows. They take goods on credit,
0:44:33 > 0:44:36sell them, pay back the suppliers, and take their small profits home.
0:44:36 > 0:44:44It is a hand to mouth existence. TRANSLATION:I came here to find my
0:44:44 > 0:44:47living, my husband has died, leaving me with five children, so right now
0:44:47 > 0:44:52there was no one to help us out. I am all alone. That is why I came
0:44:52 > 0:44:58here, to eke out a living.The trade here in the rain under the scorching
0:44:58 > 0:45:01heat. Their representative says successive presidents have promised
0:45:01 > 0:45:07reform and failed them. TRANSLATION: Probably because they used to bring
0:45:07 > 0:45:10slaves to this market area, that is why we still suffer from slavery to
0:45:10 > 0:45:14this day. The leaders have failed to help us. We are praying to God so
0:45:14 > 0:45:18that the candidate who will redeem us from the slavery will emerge
0:45:18 > 0:45:24victorious.Over the last ten years, the Sierra Leone government has
0:45:24 > 0:45:27banned hundreds of millions of dollars through tax concessions and
0:45:27 > 0:45:34waivers to attract big businesses, mainly mining companies. Economists
0:45:34 > 0:45:38are small businesses have not been a priority.It is not merely a problem
0:45:38 > 0:45:42for these, I mean it is a problem but it is symptomatic of the wider
0:45:42 > 0:45:48problem we face of poverty. As many women activists will tell you, women
0:45:48 > 0:45:54bear the brunt of it. So we must have policies that are proper, a
0:45:54 > 0:45:57deliberate choice made that resources will go to areas that will
0:45:57 > 0:46:03generate jobs for the poor. As distinct from resources going to
0:46:03 > 0:46:10areas where the benefits are more likely to go to the rich. And lead.
0:46:10 > 0:46:1316 candidates are running for president. The three frontrunners
0:46:13 > 0:46:19are an interesting mix. A former leader of a military junto. A
0:46:19 > 0:46:25finance minister. And this former UN executive also served in the
0:46:25 > 0:46:30military cabinet. The government has made strides in infrastructure,
0:46:30 > 0:46:36mainly thanks to donor funds, but the education system is in decline.
0:46:36 > 0:46:39Poorly trained teachers and overcrowded classrooms with too few
0:46:39 > 0:46:44basic materials. The ten years, the president has occupied this office.
0:46:44 > 0:46:47He says these elections are about protecting his legacy, a legacy
0:46:47 > 0:46:51which he says has brought about a massive infrastructural expansion.
0:46:51 > 0:46:55The opposition say they want an end to that period, a period which they
0:46:55 > 0:46:58say has brought about the erosion of the constitutional fabric and has
0:46:58 > 0:47:05entrenched corruption and poverty.
0:47:05 > 0:47:08Supermarkets in South Africa have been clearing a popular sausage
0:47:08 > 0:47:10from the shelves after it was blamed for a food poisoning
0:47:10 > 0:47:11outbreak behind 180 deaths.
0:47:11 > 0:47:14The government identified THIS cold meat - called polony -
0:47:14 > 0:47:16as the source of listeria poisoning.
0:47:16 > 0:47:19The Department of Health tweeted...
0:47:31 > 0:47:34These customers in Johannesburg queued up
0:47:34 > 0:47:38at factories that produce polony today to demand a refund.
0:47:38 > 0:47:41The contamination is thought to have come from an Enterprise Food
0:47:41 > 0:47:48factory in the northern city of Polokwane.
0:47:48 > 0:47:51It's taken more than a year to identify the source of the outbreak.
0:47:51 > 0:47:53Since January 2017, there have been 948 cases
0:47:53 > 0:47:58of listeria poisoning reported.
0:47:58 > 0:48:00The disease - known as listeriosis - causes fever,
0:48:01 > 0:48:02vomiting and diarrhoea.
0:48:02 > 0:48:03Some 180 of those infected have died.
0:48:03 > 0:48:05The United Nations and World Health Organization
0:48:05 > 0:48:07says it's the largest outbreak ever, worldwide.
0:48:07 > 0:48:08Several countries, including Botswana, Mozambique,
0:48:08 > 0:48:10Namibia, Malawi and Zambia have banned imports of South African
0:48:10 > 0:48:20processed meat following the crisis.
0:48:36 > 0:48:38Dr Lucia Analic is from a food safety
0:48:38 > 0:48:40consulting firm in Pretoria.
0:48:40 > 0:48:43She explains that one of the reasons the disease has spread so far
0:48:43 > 0:48:48is because it can be tricky to identify.
0:48:51 > 0:48:56That is probably one of the reasons. That is not as difficult to diagnose
0:48:56 > 0:49:02if the patient presents with symptoms early enough to a medical
0:49:02 > 0:49:07doctor or a clinic, and the person taking care of the patient suspect
0:49:07 > 0:49:12listeriosis. Some of the symptoms that cause listeriosis, however, are
0:49:12 > 0:49:17similar to other illnesses, and that is one of the reasons why it is
0:49:17 > 0:49:21possibly a little difficult to diagnose it. Once a blood test has
0:49:21 > 0:49:26been taken, and that has been sent away for testing, it exactly quite
0:49:26 > 0:49:29quick from there onwards. There are some more vulnerable groups than
0:49:29 > 0:49:35others, for example pregnant women, they can transmit the organism via
0:49:35 > 0:49:41their placenta to the unborn child. The child can miscarry. They can be
0:49:41 > 0:49:44stillborn, or they are born with meningitis, which of course creates
0:49:44 > 0:49:51a lot of complications. Elderly people over the age of 65, and
0:49:51 > 0:49:55people with weakened immune systems are particularly vulnerable,
0:49:55 > 0:49:59typically people with HIV infections, undergoing cancer
0:49:59 > 0:50:05treatment, persons with diabetes, autoimmune diseases and so forth.
0:50:05 > 0:50:07Thousands of delegates at China's National People's Congress
0:50:07 > 0:50:09in Beijing have applauded plans to abolish term limits
0:50:09 > 0:50:10for the country's president.
0:50:10 > 0:50:13The proposal would mean that this man, Xi Jinping,
0:50:13 > 0:50:16can remain in power indefinitely.
0:50:16 > 0:50:19It will be put to a formal vote on the 11th of March.
0:50:19 > 0:50:27Let's hear how one senior Communist Party official described it.
0:50:27 > 0:50:32TRANSLATION:This is a major event in the political life of the party
0:50:32 > 0:50:37and the nation. It means persevering in the new era with comrades shoe
0:50:37 > 0:50:41during thing as the core of the central party committee, and from
0:50:41 > 0:50:44the overall strategy of developing
0:50:44 > 0:50:46socialism with Chinese characteristics.
0:50:46 > 0:50:49The annual National People's Congress
0:50:49 > 0:50:51is largely a rubber-stamp parliament - endorsing decisions already made
0:50:51 > 0:50:52by the Communist Party.
0:50:52 > 0:50:55There are 3,000 delegates from all over the country.
0:50:55 > 0:50:58Here's how some of them reacted.
0:51:14 > 0:51:17So will there be any sign of dissent over
0:51:17 > 0:51:18Xi Jinping's indefinite rule?
0:51:18 > 0:51:20Let's hear from Emily Feng in Beijing who covers Chinese
0:51:20 > 0:51:26politics for the Financial Times.
0:51:26 > 0:51:30It will be very interesting to see the constitutional amendments coming
0:51:30 > 0:51:35up this Sunday. In previous times, there have been dissenting
0:51:35 > 0:51:38extensions, and I suspect that very few people if at all will vote
0:51:38 > 0:51:42against it. That being said, there has been no open discussion and when
0:51:42 > 0:51:48I went to the great hall today for the ceremony for the two sessions,
0:51:48 > 0:51:51meetings, the responses from delegates was extremely measured.
0:51:51 > 0:51:56They were very, very cautious about repeating the same stock phrases
0:51:56 > 0:51:59they now are safe to say so the message about what kind of
0:51:59 > 0:52:02discussion and any kind of dissension about these
0:52:02 > 0:52:07constitutional limits is being kept under wraps, I would say more
0:52:07 > 0:52:10tightly than in previous sessions about other constitutional
0:52:10 > 0:52:14amendments.
0:52:14 > 0:52:16The 90th Oscars has been run and won.
0:52:16 > 0:52:18The big winner - The Shape of Water.
0:52:18 > 0:52:20But Hollywood's night of nights reflected what's been happening
0:52:20 > 0:52:23off-screen as much as what dazzled on-screen - including the way
0:52:23 > 0:52:25the Me Too movement is driving cultural change on sexual
0:52:25 > 0:52:26politics and inclusion.
0:52:26 > 0:52:36Our Arts Editor Will Gompertz was there.
0:52:42 > 0:52:44The night began with host Jimmy Kimmel using his
0:52:44 > 0:52:47opening monologue to round up some of the elephants in the room.
0:52:47 > 0:52:48Black Panther and Wonder Woman were massive hits,
0:52:48 > 0:52:50which is almost miraculous,
0:52:50 > 0:52:52because I remember a time when the major studios didn't
0:52:52 > 0:52:55believe a woman or a minority could open a superhero movie,
0:52:55 > 0:52:57and the reason I remember that time was because it was March
0:52:57 > 0:52:58of last year.
0:52:58 > 0:53:00That joke set the agenda for the evening.
0:53:00 > 0:53:02In the year of the 90th Academy Awards,
0:53:02 > 0:53:05it was Time's Up for a monocultural, male-dominated movie business.
0:53:05 > 0:53:06It's a new day in Hollywood...
0:53:06 > 0:53:08..said Jennifer Lawrence, before announcing that the winner
0:53:08 > 0:53:10of actress in a leading role was...
0:53:10 > 0:53:12Frances McDormand - Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri.
0:53:12 > 0:53:16So I'm hyperventilating a little bit.
0:53:16 > 0:53:21If I fall over, pick me up, 'cos I've got some things to say.
0:53:21 > 0:53:24If I may be so honoured to have all the female nominees in every
0:53:24 > 0:53:26category stand with me in this room tonight.
0:53:26 > 0:53:27The actors...
0:53:27 > 0:53:29Meryl, if you do it, everybody else will.
0:53:29 > 0:53:31Come on.
0:53:31 > 0:53:32The film-makers...
0:53:32 > 0:53:34Look around, everybody.
0:53:34 > 0:53:37Look around, ladies and gentlemen, because we all have stories to tell
0:53:37 > 0:53:41and projects we need to finance.
0:53:41 > 0:53:43The call for equality and tolerance was made time and again,
0:53:43 > 0:53:45and was perhaps best captured by Guillermo del Toro,
0:53:45 > 0:53:48whose film The Shape Of Water, a story of misfits and outcasts,
0:53:48 > 0:53:52won best picture, and he best director.
0:53:52 > 0:53:54I am an immigrant like many, many of you.
0:53:54 > 0:53:57The greatest thing our art does and our industry does is to
0:53:57 > 0:54:00erase the lines in the sand.
0:54:00 > 0:54:02We should continue doing that when the world tells us
0:54:02 > 0:54:05to make them deeper.
0:54:05 > 0:54:07Roger A Deakins, Blade Runner...
0:54:07 > 0:54:10There were long-awaited wins for two British veterans.
0:54:10 > 0:54:12After 13 failed attempts, the cinematographer Roger Deakins
0:54:12 > 0:54:14finally converted a nomination into a golden statue for his work
0:54:14 > 0:54:19on Blade Runner 2049.
0:54:19 > 0:54:21And for his portrayal of Winston Churchill
0:54:21 > 0:54:25in The Darkest Hour, Gary Oldman won his first Oscar.
0:54:25 > 0:54:29I say to my mother, thank you for your love and support.
0:54:29 > 0:54:33Put the kettle on.
0:54:33 > 0:54:37I'm bringing Oscar home.
0:54:37 > 0:54:39The Silent Child, a British film about a deaf four-year-old
0:54:39 > 0:54:44played by Maisie Sly, won the short film category.
0:54:44 > 0:54:48I made a promise to our six-year-old lead actress that I'd sign this
0:54:48 > 0:54:53speech, but my hands are shaking a little bit, so I apologise.
0:54:53 > 0:54:55Deafness is a silent disability.
0:54:55 > 0:54:58You can't see it and it's not life-threatening,
0:54:58 > 0:55:02so I want to say the biggest thank yous to the Academy for allowing us
0:55:02 > 0:55:10to put this in front of a mainstream audience.
0:55:10 > 0:55:14Congratulations to Maisie. Coming up on BBC News, the ten o'clock news,
0:55:14 > 0:55:16much more on this story, which has been breaking and developing in the
0:55:16 > 0:55:21last hour or so about the spy swap. The BBC's Gordon Corera broke the
0:55:21 > 0:55:28news that the man who fell ill in Salisbury appears to be Sergei
0:55:28 > 0:55:30Skripal, a former Russian intelligence officer. Lots more
0:55:30 > 0:55:32still to come,
