all the latest from the European challenge cup as Sale Sharks plague | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Newport Gwent Dragons. That is all in sports day -- as Sale Sharks | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
played Newport Gwent Dragons. Welcome to our look ahead to the | :00:00. | :00:23. | |
papers,. Penny Smith and Liam Hannigan are with us. Let's have a | :00:24. | :00:27. | |
look at some of the This reverse to the road between | :00:28. | :00:37. | |
Britain and Russia as a Republican enquiry concluded the former Russian | :00:38. | :00:40. | |
spy Alexander Litvinenko was probably killed with the approval of | :00:41. | :00:46. | |
President Putin. The same story year, saying the Kremlin views the | :00:47. | :00:50. | |
verdict as blatant provocation. The Guardian has the same story as well | :00:51. | :00:53. | |
but also reports that one of Britain's top gynaecologists advises | :00:54. | :00:57. | |
that a fifth of maternity units should close to ensure mothers get | :00:58. | :01:03. | |
better care. The FT's top story is that US and European stock markets | :01:04. | :01:07. | |
have recovered a little after the European Central Bank prepared to | :01:08. | :01:12. | |
launch a fresh stimulus package. The deliberate claims the Conservatives | :01:13. | :01:17. | |
could snub UK steel firms and use cheap imports to build new Royal | :01:18. | :01:21. | |
Navy ships. The Daily Telegraph front page, news that the murder | :01:22. | :01:26. | |
rate in England and Wales has risen sharply for the first time in a | :01:27. | :01:27. | |
decade. The big story that has dominated the | :01:28. | :01:33. | |
headlines, nuclear fallout and in front of the Metro, not often that | :01:34. | :01:43. | |
the head of state of a country that we are supposed to have diplomatic | :01:44. | :01:44. | |
relations with is accused of being complicit in murder. Probably | :01:45. | :01:50. | |
ordered the murder. He prominent critic of blood in your | :01:51. | :01:59. | |
Britain, Litvinenko. -- prominent critic of Putin. Probably! The fact | :02:00. | :02:11. | |
it was this radioactive Loney, which was put in a pot of green tea -- | :02:12. | :02:19. | |
radioactive polonium. It was served out at a London hotel, the other | :02:20. | :02:25. | |
thing fascinating is that it is like something out of spy thriller, the | :02:26. | :02:29. | |
two people perhaps did not know what they were handling since they left | :02:30. | :02:33. | |
traces of it virtually everywhere. It was down the sink, all over the | :02:34. | :02:36. | |
handles and it is still some confusion about why one of them made | :02:37. | :02:42. | |
their son shake the hand of Litvinenko. A still don't know quite | :02:43. | :02:49. | |
why that may have happened. Because he probably didn't know that it was | :02:50. | :02:56. | |
radioactive polonium! Actually, you have to say hats off to the British | :02:57. | :03:03. | |
police, and also those who found out that it was polonium because it was | :03:04. | :03:08. | |
a very short time from ingestion to death in the ICU and meanwhile they | :03:09. | :03:13. | |
find out what it was and then they could have just gone round and said | :03:14. | :03:16. | |
we have to decontaminate everything because it could cause a danger to | :03:17. | :03:20. | |
the public and instead they went round, found out where everything | :03:21. | :03:26. | |
was undiscovered the situation. The Russians are not saying hats off to | :03:27. | :03:29. | |
the British police, you are a scholar of all things Russia, the | :03:30. | :03:34. | |
think this is all made up, part of a grand plot against the Kremlin. This | :03:35. | :03:46. | |
verdict or semi-verdict will provide some comfort to Litvinenko's widow | :03:47. | :03:59. | |
and son. 328 page report, what has happened now is the Russians have | :04:00. | :04:04. | |
reacted publicly, calling it written provocation. We great that are | :04:05. | :04:07. | |
purely criminal case has been politicised and darkened the general | :04:08. | :04:10. | |
atmosphere of our bilateral relations, said the Russian Foreign | :04:11. | :04:14. | |
Ministry. Of course, at the moment, there seems to be a thawing of | :04:15. | :04:20. | |
relations between Russia and the West, conflict in eastern Ukraine | :04:21. | :04:24. | |
has died down. The Russians are increasingly seen as key in fine to | :04:25. | :04:32. | |
bring some kind of resolution, temporary or otherwise, to events in | :04:33. | :04:36. | |
the Middle East and indeed the rapprochement with Iran involves the | :04:37. | :04:44. | |
UN Security Council plus one, the so-called P five plus six plus | :04:45. | :04:47. | |
Germany and the Russians are key in that. There are obviously a lot of | :04:48. | :04:55. | |
high politics going on here, as well as the death of a man and a grieving | :04:56. | :05:02. | |
widow and son. Given the fact that we have a report that labels | :05:03. | :05:07. | |
potentially Vladimir Putin as complicit in murder, probably | :05:08. | :05:12. | |
complicit in murder, is there anyway that Britain should be backing, or | :05:13. | :05:18. | |
England should be backing Russia holding the World Cup in 2018? The | :05:19. | :05:26. | |
whole thing spreads out, the worst thing... We all know from watching | :05:27. | :05:31. | |
yes Minister and yes Prime Minister that there are all sorts of deals | :05:32. | :05:38. | |
that are done despite whatever goes on. You can totally understand why | :05:39. | :05:44. | |
Mr Litvinenko's family wants the government to expel all Russian | :05:45. | :05:49. | |
intelligence officers based in London. They want retribution. The | :05:50. | :05:55. | |
point is, as we know, is that unfortunately, Isis in particular, | :05:56. | :06:05. | |
for example, it is global now. While the rhetoric to is strong, there is | :06:06. | :06:10. | |
actually no talk of additional sanctions to Russia at all, it | :06:11. | :06:16. | |
strikes me as Penny has intimated, that what Whitehall and the | :06:17. | :06:19. | |
government really want to do is now draw a line under this case and move | :06:20. | :06:31. | |
on. That was on the front of the i. The FT, European stocks and US | :06:32. | :06:37. | |
stocks rebounding, it was a bit of a bloody day on the markets yesterday | :06:38. | :06:40. | |
on the day before, fears over following oil prices and China's | :06:41. | :06:44. | |
economy but things seem to be getting back the little bit. I've | :06:45. | :06:50. | |
hope you would see dead cat bounce. LAUGHTER | :06:51. | :06:55. | |
She just attacked me with a robot wrist! We have got the NHS story to | :06:56. | :07:00. | |
come! We have had a very turbulent time on | :07:01. | :07:11. | |
markets, not only this last week, in fact pretty much since before | :07:12. | :07:16. | |
Christmas since the Federal reserve raised interest rates for the first | :07:17. | :07:22. | |
time since 2006. This week the FTSE 100 hit a four year low, we entered | :07:23. | :07:27. | |
what we call a bear market territory, it doesn't mean furry | :07:28. | :07:31. | |
animals running around with little pots of honey, it means that the | :07:32. | :07:35. | |
stock market has gone more than 20% below its previous peak, or there | :07:36. | :07:42. | |
are proper fears and stomachs churning falls. What happened today | :07:43. | :07:49. | |
is that Mariel ... He will do whatever it takes to save the euro, | :07:50. | :07:55. | |
he was the European Central Bank, it is now printing money, 80 billion | :07:56. | :08:03. | |
euros per month, the not printing physical knocks, they are expanding | :08:04. | :08:07. | |
their balance sheet, take my word for it! Know what he is saying, we | :08:08. | :08:14. | |
might see even more of that monetary easing, that money will eventually | :08:15. | :08:16. | |
find... It is quantitative easing. If I could interject... Thank you. | :08:17. | :08:41. | |
Dragi Is doing what the Bank of England and the Federal reserve have | :08:42. | :08:49. | |
been doing. In the middle of the global financial crisis, the Federal | :08:50. | :08:51. | |
reserve on by government picked up the quantitative easing pattern. The | :08:52. | :08:59. | |
ECB mostly sat out for quite a few years on the bank of Japan came in | :09:00. | :09:03. | |
and now the ECB is the main kind of liquidity providing service. You'll | :09:04. | :09:08. | |
like a delicate dog that has been told you are a bad dog, there are no | :09:09. | :09:14. | |
more bones. What does it mean for people? There are some people out | :09:15. | :09:25. | |
there who think it will be all OK if the central banks keep expanding the | :09:26. | :09:30. | |
money supply, but many people out there that think this cannot go on. | :09:31. | :09:38. | |
What happens if it cannot go on? The markets collapse and we have 2008 | :09:39. | :09:42. | |
all over again. I'm not predicting anything. Mum, don't worry. A lot of | :09:43. | :09:51. | |
people are talking about 2008 scenario over again with the proviso | :09:52. | :09:58. | |
that last time we had a lot more room for the move for governments to | :09:59. | :10:01. | |
increase spending and borrowing and cut interest rates. A lot less | :10:02. | :10:06. | |
ammunition in the locker this time around. All the levers have been | :10:07. | :10:11. | |
pulled, that's the phrase I've been hearing. Our banks are in a better | :10:12. | :10:18. | |
place than they wear then to stand up? We won't have to bail them out. | :10:19. | :10:21. | |
You're looking at me like it is my fault. It is your fault she has got | :10:22. | :10:28. | |
a dodgy wrist! She tried to slap you. Will you not cause another | :10:29. | :10:34. | |
crash! Oil rigs in the Financial Times. | :10:35. | :10:45. | |
Running out of time. Good story. This is the rig standing idle as the | :10:46. | :10:49. | |
oil price fall hits the North Sea. The number of operational rigs have | :10:50. | :10:54. | |
gone from 57 to 27 and it could be 19 by summer and this is because of | :10:55. | :10:59. | |
the price of oil, the price has fallen so much that we have noticed | :11:00. | :11:03. | |
because our gas and electricity bills and our petrol bills have gone | :11:04. | :11:11. | |
down! Oil is down 70% since mid-2014 and in mid-2014, the SNP put their | :11:12. | :11:18. | |
budgetary plans together with the $110 per barrel, now it is at $30 | :11:19. | :11:23. | |
per barrel. Not just in the North Sea, and the US as well. You have | :11:24. | :11:27. | |
the Iranian oil coming on tap as well. That will be an oil glut so | :11:28. | :11:33. | |
prices will probably fall even further. I suspect we are from ugly | :11:34. | :11:38. | |
pretty near the bottom now. In the end, the solution to cheap oil | :11:39. | :11:45. | |
prices is cheap oil prices, what do I mean, when oil prices get really | :11:46. | :11:49. | |
cheap as in the North Sea, production becomes an economic, | :11:50. | :11:57. | |
which causes the eventual supply crunch which pushes prices back up. | :11:58. | :12:02. | |
Onto the Guardian. Close fifth of maternity units. President of the | :12:03. | :12:11. | |
Royal College of obstetricians and gynaecologists saying there should | :12:12. | :12:14. | |
be a big expansion in the number of midwife led units, and shrinking the | :12:15. | :12:22. | |
consultant led units, creating overly large baby factories. I was | :12:23. | :12:27. | |
actually born at home and you wonder if we shouldn't go back to that | :12:28. | :12:31. | |
point of having more midwives going to people in their own homes for... | :12:32. | :12:38. | |
There can be problems but my mum, she had the first baby in hospital | :12:39. | :12:42. | |
and the other three were at home. You have to find midwives for that. | :12:43. | :12:47. | |
We need more. And the consultant shortage, which is the message from | :12:48. | :12:51. | |
Doctor David Richmond of the Royal College. We will leave it there. We | :12:52. | :12:56. | |
will look at more of the stories behind the headlines in an hour or | :12:57. | :13:02. | |
so. Much more coming up on BBC News. Now it is sports | :13:03. | :13:03. |
