A man has been shot dead by police in an operation near the M62

West Yorkshire Police say the operation last

night was "pre-planned", and that at least one

person was arrested, but gave few other details.

They say it was not related to terrorism. Another two people were

arrested in a related stop in Bradford.

The Independent Police Complaints Commission has sent

It's the fifth fatal police shooting in England

The shooting happened shortly after 6pm yesterday evening

on a slip road off the M62 at Ainley Top, near Huddersfield.

West Yorkshire Police say the incident took place

during a preplanned policing operation, suggesting officers had

acted on intelligence, rather than responding

The force said a police firearm was discharged and a man died.

No-one else is believed to have been injured.

The Independent Police Complaints Commission was informed,

and has sent its own investigators to the scene, which has

Photographs from the area appear to indicate that a number

of unmarked police vehicles may have stopped a car on the slip road

before the shooting, though that hasn't been confirmed.

Although fatal police shootings are rare, it is the fifth such

incident in England and Wales in the last nine months,

and the first involving West Yorkshire Police

Our correspondent Phil Bodmer is at the scene.

What more can you tell us? This slip road on the 62, it is the westbound

slip road, it has now been closed for 15 hours since the incident last

night. More police have arrived this morning, officers behind the green

cord and will work and investigate the circumstances. West Yorkshire

Police say this is not terror related, so that theory has now gone

away. We understand it was a stop last night, a preplanned operation.

Police in unmarked vehicles stopped and about of cars. The cars are a

white Audi, we understand, it has bullet holes on the bonnet and on

the front windscreen, and also a silver Mercedes E class was

involved, and maybe a Jaguar. On the outside of those, they are boxed in

by a unmarked police cars. These are very relevant events. The IPCC are

taking charge of this investigation. It is the first fatal shooting

involving West Yorkshire Police since 2010, and in the last decade

there have been 22 police shootings in England and is, so a very rare

event. This road has been cordoned off at least until 10am, but it is

causing major disruption for traffic in and around Halifax. As long as

that continues to be the case, drivers are being advised to try to

steer clear of the area for the time being.

Ben is in the BBC Newsroom with a summary of the rest

The Ministry of Defence says a British soldier has died in Iraq.

The soldier, from the 2nd Battalion the Duke of

Lancaster's Regiment, died near Baghdad,

following an incident which is now being investigated.

The regiment is training Iraqi and Kurdish security forces.

The death wasn't the result of enemy activity.

The soldier's family has been informed.

Kurdish militants say a British man has been killed fighting with them

against Islamic State militants in Syria.

They've told the BBC that Ryan Lock, who was 20 and from West Sussex,

died during an assault on the IS stronghold of Raqqa

It's believed he travelled to Syria last August,

and joined a Kurdish volunteer group called the YPG.

It's reported that the authorities in Turkey now know the identity

of the chief suspect in the mass shooting at a nightclub in Istanbul.

39 people were killed and dozens wounded when an attacker opened

fire on a New Year party inside the crowded Reina club.

Police have carried out raids in the city,

The Islamic State militant group has said it was behind the attack.

Staring directly into the camera, the face of the man Turkish

officials say is the main suspect in the deadly nightclub attack.

This footage, released by police, appears to show him filming himself

on his phone while walking through Taksim Square,

It is not clear when it was recorded.

Following a tipoff, armed officers carried out a raid on a house

The suspect was not found, but so far 12 people have been

arrested in connection with the attack that the so-called

They say it was revenge for Turkey's attacks on Syria.

The gunman shot his way into the club and then shot 180

bullets in seven minutes, killing 39 people.

The club, which sits on the bank of the Bosporus river,

The centre-left think tank the Fabian Society has warned that

Labour is "too weak" to win the next election.

The society, which has been developing ideas

for Labour for decades, has urged the party

to form an alliance with the Scottish Nationalists

and the Liberal Democrats if it wants to return to power.

Our Political Correspondent Eleanor Garnier is at Westminster.

Not a great New Year message for Jeremy Corbyn. It is not the message

that many Labour MPs wanted to start the year off with, but having said

that, I don't think the findings in this report will be a surprise to

many politicians in Westminster. It is a pretty melancholy message that

Labour is too weak to win, yet too strong to die, and the Fabian

Society report also says that Labour would need to win 3 million more

votes than the Conservatives to win an outright majority at the next

general election, something this report concludes is unthinkable at

the moment. It also points to problems the party has with Brexit,

with the Conservatives and Ukip targeting their leave voters and the

Liberal Democrats hunting there remain voters. All the while, this

report says Labour's message on Brexit is muffled and inconsistent.

I put these findings to the leader's office, they said that Jeremy Corbyn

was the only genuine alternative to a failed political establishment.

But certainly, Labour MPs will be hoping for a little more New Year

cheer when MPs get back to Westminster next week.

Thousands of new starter homes have been given the go-ahead to be built

The properties will be available for first-time buyers

aged between 23 and 40, at 20% less than the market value.

Labour says the target of 200,000 starter homes

But the Housing Minister Gavin Barwell says it's

There are a lot of different things that we need to do to help

people in this country find more-affordable housing.

We have shared ownership, the Help To Buy scheme,

Right To Buy, and the fundamental solution to this is to build more

homes so that housing becomes more affordable.

We cannot do nothing in the meantime, so starter homes

A post-mortem examination is to be held to investigate the unexplained

death of a British woman in Australia, police say.

Local media reported Stacey Tierney, who was 29, was found dead

in a strip club in Melbourne on 19th December.

Our correspondent Phil Mercer is in Sydney.

This seems something of a mystery at the moment. Yes, this body was found

more than two weeks ago in the gentleman's club in the heart of

Australia's second city, Melbourne. There is a lot we don't know about

this woman's death. We don't know the cause of death. The authorities

are hoping a postmortem will answer that question. There are reports

here that the woman's body lay undiscovered for about 12 hours

inside the club, again we don't know why that was the case, if that

report is true. Also, reports here that this woman was in the company

of a group of mystery men, we don't know who they are, but no doubt they

will be able to provide investigators with a very important

information. We know that she was 29 years old, from Manchester, a

fitness instructor, and apparently in Australia for three years,

working as a dancer in various clubs around the country.

Children in England are eating half their recommended daily sugar

intake before they even get to school.

That's the warning from health officials.

Public Health England say sugary cereals, juices

and spreads are to blame and, at a time of spiralling obesity

levels, have launched a campaign to help us better understand

We know that lots of children are eating a lot of sugar for breakfast.

In total, they are eating almost three times the maximum recommended

level of sugar over the day. That is contributing to the awful obesity

statistics that we have. Protests are expected at railway

stations this morning, in response to the latest

annual fares increase. The average ticket

has gone up by 2.3%. Many of today's demonstrations

are organised by the campaign It says people in the UK spend six

times as much on tickets And we'll have more on that coming

up on the programme, where we'll be live at Kings Cross

railway station and hearing That's a summary of

throughout the morning. We will hear from a Paralympic

athlete who says she had to wet herself on a train because the

disabled toilet was broken and staff failed to help her. She says she

Let's get some sport now with Jessica.

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola wasn't

Journalists received quite a frosty response from him,

and his rather unconventional interview has caused

Interestingly, before all that, though, before his side

had beaten Burnley 2-1, Guardiola had said he was arriving

at the end of his career and that the process of his goodbye

He's only 45 at the moment, relatively young in management

terms, but he insists he doesn't want to still be in the role

You just wonder if he's feeling the pressure a little bit.

Here's why Guardiola might have been a little tetchy last night.

Manchester City had to play an hour of the match with ten men,

after captain Fernandinho was sent off.

City improved after the break, a couple of inspired substitutions,

then two goals in four minutes gave them the win.

We were not able to bring to that clip, but it was really frosty. It

gets more and more awkward. The sending off, what

was your view of the red You're the manager, I'm sure

the fans would like to know. You don't seem that

happy that you've won? More than you would believe,

more than you would believe. I do still in the title race?

Yesterday we were not, why are we today?

he really did seem unhappy, didn't he?

Things getting better for Jose Mourinho.

He was anything but yesterday, after United beat West Ham 2-0.

And understandably, Mourinho's smiling.

That was their sixth straight league win.

Perhaps United were fortunate to play the majority

of the game against ten men, after Ferghouli was

So yes, the red side of Manchester looking rosy at present.

Darts and a high quality final last night.

And, it was Michael van Gerwen who outmanoeuvred reigning champion

Gary Anderson to win his second PDC World Darts Championship.

It wasn't all plain sailing for the Dutchman.

As he was throwing for the match at 6-2 up, he was interrupted.

Security men quickly dealt with the prankster.

But it put van Gerwen off, delaying his coronation by another set.

It was worth the extra wait, though, as he claimed victory in style.

7-3 he won it, and took home the ?350,000 prize.

So, no hat-trick of titles for Anderson.

Thank you very much, Jess. We will see you later.

The Brexit vote came as a shock to many people

Yet many of those who voted to leave the EU could have told them that

levels of dissatisfaction with Europe, especially over

the issue of immigration, meant it should not have come

After the vote, we visited Great Yarmouth in Norfolk

which delivered the fifth highest leave vote with more than 70%

Six months on, as Brexit gets closer, our reporter Michael Cowan

has been back to speak to some of those he met at the time, to ask

The Government now seem to be very tight-lipped.

I've lost a lot of interest in it now.

Though, like, again, I would still vote out.

But, yeah, I've lost a lot of interest.

I know it's wrong, and I regret doing that, because I still don't

Does it bother you that MPs, for example, might now get a say

Er, if it's how we do it, fair enough.

If it's whether we do it or not, they should have no say whatsoever.

Our country had just voted to leave the EU and it was summer.

Over 70% of people here voted to leave, and the locals spoke

My biggest fear is that the British people will be taken

I would like to see the numbers come down.

I would like to see some of the ones on benefits being shipped back.

Ukip were high here in places where people are unhappy, really unhappy.

And ultimately, I think that's what it boils down to.

And so the only way you can show your unhappiness is to vote,

I voted because I wanted Britain to be British laws.

Have our laws back and not being told what to do.

But does the promise of June 2016 still resonate here?

This is King Street, home to the Portuguese community.

It has become a symbol for locals of immigration into the town.

Between 2014 and 2015, EU citizens living in Great Yarmouth

Sharon shops here, and she holds daily knitting workshops

It's been six months since we last saw you.

I think it's caused a lot of trouble.

A lot of people moved out, round me, that are foreigners.

Some of them have been born here and they are

They're not coming here and taking, you know, our benefits

But they've had to move because people won't leave them alone.

They are real nasty, putting things through doors and everything.

How do you think the government has handled Brexit so far?

The government now seem to be very tight-lipped.

But nothing's discussed with the people.

There's no plan of action. I like a good plan.

And if they say it's going to happen at the end of March...

Where's the discussions and the debate programmes?

You just, kind of, would like to know what is going to happen.

They should have had plans set up before.

And they say about a hard Brexit and a soft Brexit and...

During the referendum, the country voted on the very simple

question of, should we come out of the European Union?

Should we be able to vote on the terms of Brexit?

But also, to be able to vote on the terms of Brexit,

Not the lies, not the figures they plucked out of the air and go,

this is going to lie and how much is going back in the NHS when

They have to be open, and they are not being open.

So we don't know what's propaganda and what's true.

You said Brexit was really a way for people who were angry to kick

back at the government and that maybe perhaps it wasn't so much

about leaving Europe but about saying to the government,

we are here, you don't represent us, listen to us.

Has this vote, has the decision to leave the EU given you that voice?

"Oh, we've got to listen to the people, we've got to do that."

"We're talking about it behind closed doors,

we will let you know," sort of thing.

Maybe we voted illinformed, but we voted from our hearts

That's how we felt at the time and we voted the way we felt.

I would still vote the same now, definitely.

What do you want to see happen with regards to Brexit this year?

I want to see clarity and ideas and people going back and forth

with a structured idea about how to go about it.

Deprivation is high in Yarmouth with almost 25%

That's way above the national average.

The town has benefited from EU funding in the past and was set

to receive even more from the ?70 million pot earmarked

for the wider region, but that is now in jeopardy.

The daily market is one of the focal points of the community.

Christine and Darren are one of the biggest fishmongers

in here and the business has been in the family for 70 years.

Six months ago when we first met you, you said the leave vote

For the fishing industry, mainly, and so that we could fish

in our own seas again and we could bring

the fishing industry back into Yarmouth again, mainly.

Do you think that is on the priority list for the Government?

I think that's not top of their list.

But they've got to do something because I think there's a lot

of people who rely on it, especially the fishermen.

I think a lot of them obviously did vote out.

There are a lot of fishing places around here who rely on that.

I suppose it is on their list but it's not going to

Are you still optimistic about Brexit?

I haven't got as much faith in it as I did previously,

I just think things are slipping a little bit.

What do you mean by that? What's slipping?

I just think they are moving the goalposts further away,

I don't think we're going to truly be out, I really don't,

and I think there will be a lot of upset people.

Have you noticed any changes at a local level?

Some people say that trade has gone down and different things,

but we are in winter now and trade has always been very

When my grandad owned the stall, he used to shut in the winter.

I've lost a lot of interest in it now, I really have.

It's gone on too long now, it really has.

Our economy is one of the biggest concerns for the Government.

After an initial crash that saw trillions of dollars wiped off

the global stock market, in the UK, it has since not

Similarly, retailers have also seen a boom in sales,

particularly leading up to Christmas.

Interest rates, instead of going up, have gone down, which is good

news for homeowners, but bad news for savers.

And the value of the pound - that means how much ?1

will buy us abroad - has decreased, meaning it will be

more expensive to go on holiday and products that import

ingredients, like Marmite and PG Tips, already cost us more.

Two of our leading supermarkets, Tesco and Sainsbury's,

have warned of 5% to 10% price rises this year.

But are people here still excited about Brexit?

Is it access to the single market which involves much

We pay into the EU and in exchange, we get to trade with them,

but we have to accept freedom of movement.

That means unlimited numbers of EU workers coming to Britain to work.

Or is it this - complete control of our borders?

Because the only certainty we have here is that we cannot have both.

Does it concern you when you hear things about the economy?

For example, going on holiday already costs more money

because the value of the pound is low.

There's some beautiful holiday destinations.

If people were putting more money back into our own economy,

rather than feeding everyone else's economy, this country would thrive.

Come to Great Yarmouth, go to Blackpool, go to Liverpool,

go to different areas where you've got these beautiful seaside towns

that are getting forgotten and ignored and neglected.

Do you still feel excited about Brexit?

I think it was the best thing we could have done.

Joining the EU was the worst decision Britain ever made.

Do we want access to the single market or do we want complete

I understand that they do need to go somewhere and the place is a state

and I agree with that, but when is it going to stop?

I voted leave because I went with the flow.

If there was another referendum tomorrow, hypothetically...

And I knew more about it, possibly could change my mind.

Even if it comes at the cost of the economy,

controlling the borders, that's the most important thing?

Do you think Parliament should have a vote on Brexit?

I think they should get back in, put all of their heads together,

54 people went for this, complete conviction,

like they had six months ago, to control our borders.

24 people went for single market access.

We are not pollsters and our Brexit boards are not scientific,

but they clearly suggest, for people here, immigration

and control of our borders is still the major concern.

But amongst those we spoke to, there is a waning support

for the way in which the Government is handling Brexit, namely

And it's telling that while the vast majority stand

by that decision to leave, people here want more input,

or even another vote, on the exact terms of how we leave

in the land, the Supreme Court, returns its decision later this

that the majority voted leave. Brexit does mean breaks the and foot

dragging by this Government may just be storing up even more problems.

I believe those in power are delaying the process as something

illegal might turn up to stop Britain leaving. Anything to stop us

leaving. Keep on getting in touch. Still to come, it's the first day

The BBC reporter Rahul Tandon was driving down the motorway slip

road when it happened, and we can talk to him now.

We just came off the slip road at around 6pm. It is a steep incline as

you come down that particular slip road. There was a series of police

cars that were blocking the road, blocking us from turning left

towards where the incident took place. We just sat there, another

car pulled up alongside us, and traffic built up behind us. Every

few minutes police cars would arrive and officers would very calmly

walked towards the scene of the incident. We had no idea what the

incident was. After ten or 15 minutes a couple of ambulances came,

and then officers ran up the slope, asking people from the ambulance to

get down there as quickly as possible, so it looked as though

somebody had been badly injured. After half an hour the police

knocked on the window and said, you need to get out of this area as

quickly as possible, so all of the cars that had been backed up were

told to reverse onto the motorway, they had blocked all of the traffic,

and we were told to leave the area. We could see the two cars that were

there, most people issuing it had been an accident, because it is a

steep incline, we thought somebody had crashed. The first we knew was

when I woke up this morning and turned on the radio.

As commuters head back to work today, protests are being held

at train stations across the UK to highlight the cost

It comes the day after new fares were announced, with an average

And passengers in the south of England are still being affected

by strikes, with a week-long stoppage on the Southern rail

We will speak to a group of commuters in a moment.

Our reporter Daniel Boettcher is at Kings Cross station this morning.

There was a protest here this morning, 30 to 40 people, it has now

dispersed, and others were planned at stations across the country. This

was about the increase in fares. 2.3% average rise. Part of that is

1.9% on regulated fares. These are tickets that include most commuter

season-ticket. That figure was set by the Government using last year's

RPI inflation figures. The train operating companies said the prices

of the other tickets, but the average is 2.3% in England,

Scotland, and Wales. Prices have been frozen in Northern Ireland. The

campaign for better transport says it is a kick in the teeth. It has

done a calculation that on some commuter routes the cost per minute

of those rail journeys is equivalent to calling a premium rate phone

line. Action for rail gives as an example a ticket from Luton to

London, a monthly season-ticket, it costs ?387, 14% of the average

monthly salary. It compares it with Germany, where it says an equivalent

route would cost ?85, 3% of a salary. In France, six to ?1, 2% of

a monthly salary. Commuters in Britain say they are paying more

than in other countries. The rail delivery group says that the

increases in season tickets set by the Government, it says 97% in

everyone pound paid by passengers goes into running and improving

services, and the Government says it is delivering what it calls the

biggest modernisation programme for more than a century. It says it has

always fairly balanced the cost between taxpayers and passengers.

Well, let's talk now to Kate Bell, the head of economics

at Action For Rail, Lianna Etkind, a public-transport campaigner

at Campaign For Better Transport, Peter Izzard, who commutes to London

from Burgess Hill on Southern, spending more than ?4,000

on his annual season ticket, and Jo Rossi, who commutes

to London from Ashford, paying for a weekly season ticket

Some people are spending 14% of their salary, what proportion are

you spending? After my pension and childcare costs, it is nearly a

third of my take-home pay, and not even on my part-time salary, so it

is not affordable. How do you feel that costs are going up? It is

incredibly unfair and it is alienating a whole portion of people

who want to work flexibly, when so many organisations are welcoming and

promoting flexible working. I said you spend ?4000 on an annual season

ticket, you travel on the Southern Rail network, so you have been

affected, so you will be getting a rebate. We get four weeks' refund,

allegedly this month. I am yet to see the final details. My fair has

gone up 1.8%. Now I pay ?4248 for the privilege of travelling on a

service that is wholly inadequate. Any fare increase is too much. I

don't think any commuter would mind paying an increase is a service was

delivered. But it is not being delivered. There is no sign of an

end to the DeMarco batter Southern Rail. What Southern Rail are

charging, they point out they are giving a month's rebate to

compensate for the problems on the network, and they say they are

freezing some of the fares and any increases are pegged at inflation.

Clearly, it is shallow words. I think that the rebate is welcome. I

would rather have no rebate and they begin a service, a trusted service,

which allows me to get home to see my wife and children in the

evenings, as opposed to being late everyday. Concentrate on the key

factors here, which is ending this dispute, and delivering a service

that our commuters can value and the simple things in life, catch a train

on time at a scheduled time and arrival. We were hearing from Daniel

that rail fares here are six times higher than elsewhere in Europe,

prices have gone up by 56% over the past ten years. Do you think

passengers are being ripped off? Passages are ripped off, and they

will find there is another year of rises which are hard to stomach.

Many passengers have had a year of disruptions and substandard

services, and to be asked to pay for more of the same is unacceptable. It

shows that the whole system needs an overhaul, and the Government needs

to take action to make it fairer. It is pointed out that 97% of everyone

pound that commuters pay for their rail fares are reinvested, and the

biggest modernisation programme for a century is currently being

delivered. The cost of running a railway is now largely covered by

income from the railways, mostly passenger fares, but we need to see

in investment in the railways and in the whole economy. Rail is not just

benefit passengers who use it. The benefits everybody, even if you

never take a train, you will benefit from clearer roads, so the people

who need to drive can get to where they need to be, from cleaner air

and better health, and from the mitigating climate change, and rail

plays a part in supporting all of our society and economy. The

background is that while Government subsidies have decreased by ?1.1

billion over the past five years, the fares have gone up by just about

the same amount, just a little more. Absolutely. Our research comparing

the cost of travel in the UK with that of other European countries, we

are highlighting that we are not getting the best bang for our book.

We see how much cheaper fares are in other countries, in Paris it would

cost just ?61 to travel the same distance. Because of greater

Government subsidy? And public ownership. It is not an efficient

way of running a railway, the fragmented system we have. We think

a better way is possible. Public transport, which makes such a big

difference to lives, is much cheaper and more efficient and you get a

much better service. The Government says it balances the costs fairly

between taxpayer and passenger, how do you see it? We can see the

improvements that are allegedly put in, the Thames Link programme will

make a big difference, but we are still years away from seeing those

benefits. What we are not seeing is in reality the service is taking a

backward step, it is as bad as I have ever known it. Talk of

investment is wonderful, but just fix the short-term problem, which is

the issues today. Should there be more Government subsidy?

Well, I think action needs to be taken. I'm pushed on to a high-speed

rail network because the other main line stations, they have a far

longer commute now so some action needs to be taken to benefit the

commuters. Has it made you think about stopping commuting? Well, I

love my job, but it's uneconomical for me to come into work and I know

having moved down from London because of the higher house prices,

there is lots of people who can't go back to work in London because it is

simply unaffordable. It does make one question, especially with lower

salaries outside London as well. At what point does it become unviable

so you decide that you can't continue with it? Well, I think you

have to think of the longer term goal in terms of career and so on

and working your organisation as well because my company is very

accommodating in terms of working flexibly so I have to take the

financial hit for now because train companies are not moving with the

times and kind of stepping up to the mark and kind of helping facilitate

flexible working. Thank you very much for coming in and do let us

know what you think about that as well if you are a commuter and you

are affected by the increase in prices from today.

Let's go back to the terror attack, the New Year terror attack in

Istanbul. What can you tell us? There are reporting suggesting the

that the gunman has been confirmed. According to the reports, he is a

28-year-old man from Kyrgyzstan called Lakhe Mashrapov.

They were not naming I had country as of yet and the officials had been

investigating whether one of their citizens was involved in the attack

that took place on the New Year's Eve. Now the reports suggest that we

have the name and we have the ID of the attacker. Of course, now the

Turkish police force will try to investigate whether this person was

acting on his own or whether there was a cell behind him. The IS group,

the Islamic State group, has already claimed responsibility for the

attack, but was this guy alone? Or was there a particular cell

supporting this man in the attack that he carried out? Of course, the

manhunt is still on. The gunman is still at large. There are 12 people

detained including his wife and the investigations are still being

carried out. Thank you very much.

In a moment we'll be speaking to two terror experts

and a Turkish journalist, but first let's take a look at some

I think the whole world should be united against this deadly evil

and if the entire world unites, we can crush them.

The world can crush these unwanted elements.

Let's talk now to Chris Phillips, a former Head of the National

Joining us from Oxford is Ezgi Basaran is a Turkish

She says she feels frightened to go back to Istanbul as seculars

Jerry Smith is a terrorism risk specialist who has worked

Thank you all very much indeed for joining us. Chris, first of all,

Turkey was on a state of high alert. There were, I think, 17,000 police

officers on duty in Istanbul and yet this still happened. Unfortunately,

there is no such thing as 100% security. Turkey know that it is at

the fore front of potential terrorist attacks, but of course, an

individual like this can go under the radar. It seems to be a slight

sea change in the way that the terrorists are operating in that

this looks like it is someone that's come from the war zone and maybe has

actually returned back to the war zone. So it is an interesting and

terrible thing, but unfortunately, we're going to be faced with more

terrorist attacks, not dissimilar to this in 2017. When you look at that

particular aspect of where it seems the person that did this came from

and then went back and to and say it looks like a potential change, how

easy is to spot any trends in what we're seeing? There are some

similarities between attacks that are happening and others just

completely different again? I would say we have got three different

types of terrorist problems at the moment. We've got a group of people

that have been fighting in Iraq and Syria. And of course, they are used

to handling weapons and used to dealing with explosives, have been

in a war zone. So we have to face them and they are being encouraged

to go back to their own countries to cause terror, but we have got people

who are self radicalising within communities and those are very

difficult to spot and then we've also got what I call the mad, bad

and sad in society who are popping up out of nowhere with probably very

little knowledge of Islam, and choosing to go out in a blaze of

glory. So it is very difficult for the Security Services right across

Europe, right across the West to actually deal with these and don't

forget this is not just a European problem this. Is across the world.

Jerry Smith, how concerned should we be here from a wide every security

prospective about specifically what happened in Turkey? Well, I think we

have seen similar attacks to what occurred in Turkey in other parts of

Western Europe. I think the UK has some slight differences obviously

being an island and having some particularly gun laws are the sort

of things and also we have a proty integrated security set-up. Not only

with the police, the Security Services, support from the military

where required, but also in a community local authority emergency

planners, the way that towns and cities are designed, so all that

integration is a pretty good in the UK. This is, I think, the first

attack that IS has specifically claimed in Turkey, but it is not the

first attack that there has been in Turkey. How do you feel about what

is going on in your country? After 2015, Turkey shifted its Syrian

policy. Before that, between 2013 and 2015, there was an open border

policy which enabled Isis recruits, national and foreign, to move freely

in and out of Turkey which helped Isis smuggling and recruitment

infrastructure, but starting from 2015, Turkey's stance against Isis

changed and by that time, the attacks started. There are three

categories of targets in Isis mentality in Turkey. First, are the

Kurds because Kurds are fighting in Syria, the most effective fighting

force in Syria against Isis and second, would be the seculars. The

Turks and the third is the administration officials and its

electorate. Now we can see that they had gone up to a level in terms of

confidence and in terms of targets. This is actually the second attack

that Isis claimed responsibility through its news agency, but the

first major one I can say. Chris, I know you've worked in Istanbul quite

recently helping to train the Security Services there. What was

the work that you were doing? Well, obviously they've got big problems.

They've got a huge pool of potential terrorists in their country and

they've got, they want to be westward leaning to some extent and

of course, everywhere needs to be secured, every nightclub needs to be

secured, the airports need to be secured. I was trying to train some

of the security guards to understand the nature of the threat and what

they could do and put in place. We've learned a lot from terrorism

in the UK over the years. We've implemented changes. We put in

defence measures in airports. They need to catch up on this stuff that

we have led the world on. A security minister said that Isis is prepared

to Carey out a chemical weapons attack in the UK. Being prepared and

being ready to do it are two different things. Jerry, what's your

prospect on the potential for something like that? As you

mentioned, when you look about capability and intent, as the

minister said, the intent is clearly there. This idea of mass casualties,

how they're caused, in some ways, is less of an issue. They just want to

cause mass casualties, mass terror, to impact. Capability is slightly

different and again with chemical weapons, sometimes the sort of the

headline that we see is perhaps not as bad as actually reality. So,

making chemical weapons is not easy. It is not impossible. But, it is not

easy. Perhaps more of a concern is the theft of industrial chemicals or

the use of those and maybe just some attack on an industrial facility

which allowed a leak to occur or the theft of chemicals that are being

moved on our highways. Thank you very much. Thank you.

Coming up, a British man with no previous experience has been killed

fighting alongside Kurdish forces in Syria.

We'll bring you the latest after the news.

Let's get the latest weather update.

It is very frosty again. This morning I was in my car at 3.59am

shivering. I wanted to go back to bed. Jack Frost was painting with a

thick paintbrush. This almost looks like some three-dimensional map of I

don't know some planet or something! I think that's the roof of the car!

I saw lots of roofs like that. This person, I think it was, Daisy,

wanted to get a frosty message across frosty roads, frozen, cold,

all of that. Tonight, it is not going to be so frosty. We have got

milder weather heading our way. After that cold and frosty start as

we say, we've got sunshine around, but really the best of the sunshine

is going to be across southern areas. Look at the clouds in the

north. They're starting to invade the UK and that's also less cold air

sitting on top of the UK. So let's start with the south first. This is

where we're going to be enjoying that sparkling winter sunshine.

Temperatures around six Celsius in Plymouth. There could be one or two

spots warmer at four or five Celsius. Notice the further north

you go, the thicker the clouds get. You might get brightness to the east

of the Pennines, but in the north-west, here, certainly western

parts of Scotland, much milder, not far off ten Celsius, and there will

be some rain on and off during the day as well. Notice the winds,

north-westerly winds of the Atlantic. They keep on dragging the

milder air which is sit k up there, pushing it southwards. The mild air

is sitting on top of us. Jack Frost off he goes. It is more like plus

four Celsius or plus five Celsius. Colder further north. Maybe a touch

of frost in Scotland, but generally speaking tomorrow, frost-free in the

morning. A bit of cloud across south-western areas and then it

looks like the sunshine is out. Actually, this is going to be a

trend for something colder the middle part of the week. The middle

part of the week we've got an area of high pressure building on top of

us. This equals generally clear skies across the UK. And that means

that all the warmth that we will have gathered, will escape again and

temperatures will dip away. So Thursday morning, another very

frosty one, but look at that, things warm up significantly by the time we

get towards the end of the week. So that means that the end of the week

rather than being frosty it is going to be soggy and mild!

The police watchdog the IPCC is investigating the incident,

which took place near the M62 in Huddersfield yesterday evening.

Five people were arrested as part of the operation,

including two from a related vehicle stop in Bradford at the same time.

Our reporter was stuck in traffic with his family after police closed

the road, he has been talking to us. All the cars that had been backed up

on the slip road were told to reverse onto the motorway, they had

blocked traffic, and we were told to leave the area. We could see down

the bridge because that were there, most able assumed it had been an

accident, because it is a steep incline, we thought somebody had

crashed into another. The first we knew about it is when I turned on

the radio this morning and found out it was a very different incident.

the identity of the chief suspect in the mass shooting

A 20-year-old from Sussex has been killed fighting so-called

His name is Ryan Lock, a chef from Chichester,

who had no military experience whatsoever before travelling to join

Let's speak to our correspondent Emma Vardy.

He went to school and haven't, his family are from haven't and

Chichester, and he was a chef in the UK before travelling out to fight in

Syria. He travelled in August, and we understand he had told friends

and family he was going on holiday to Turkey, but later revealed he had

travelled to join up with the Kurdish militant group the YPG in

Syria. A number of other British volunteers have done the same,

choosing to fight against so-called Islamic State of their own accord.

The YPG confirmed his death in a letter to his family and said that

he had been killed fighting in the battle for the Syrian city of

fracture, which has been an Islamic State stronghold. He had no previous

military experience whatsoever, is it clear what it was that made him

decide to go off and fight? No, but many who have been out there to

fight talk about wanting to be part of the Kurdish struggle, wanting to

fight against the evil, as they see it, of Islamic State. His father has

said he had a heart of gold, his family are said to be in absolute

grief at the news of his death. I spoke to the father of the first

British volunteer to die fighting against Islamic State, he went to

visit Ryan's father and offer his condolences and his perspective as a

parent of somebody who has chosen to go and do this. Ryan is reported to

be the third British man to be killed fighting against Islamic

State, although the numbers are difficult to verify. The Foreign

Office has warned strongly against travelling to Syria and has warned

that whichever side somebody may decide to fight on, they could be

breaking with this camera laws. Many in the Kurdish community will see

him and others as martyrs. You were an activist who spoke to

Ryan's family. Very difficult, it will be, for them to come to terms

with this. Yes. Incredibly difficult time on Sunday. The family are

completely and utterly devastated and deep in grief at the moment. Not

really wanting to think about all of the issues surrounding Isis or the

Kurds or YPG, they are just really... They have found out...

Ryan fell on the 21st of December that there has been a process by

which the YPG have tried to confirm that it was him, and that

confirmation came through to them on Friday, and we went to pay our

condolences and offer our help in terms of any possible retrieving of

the body at a later date. But the whole of the Kurdish community all

around the world, their hearts are with the family today. Do you know

when they knew that he was fighting? When he went off in August, he said

he was going on holiday. I am not too sure exactly when they found out

that he was fighting in Syria, but I believe that when he had arrived in

Syria, he had posted on his Facebook account that he had arrived in Syria

and he was sorry that he had not been totally honest with them. And

he was fighting Isis. How many people are doing this from the UK?

Over the past five years there has been quite a number. Internationally

there has been quite a few hundred. There are even international

brigades now fighting with the YPG forces. But in terms of Britons, at

the moment there are probably about a dozen. Why? These are people

without previous military experience. It is something that is

difficult to get your head around, but essentially... The wanting to

say today is that I would never encourage anybody to go there. There

are other ways to support the Kurdish cause, to support the fight

against Isis. We need campaigners and raising awareness of the issues

around this. But what is their motivation? You just have to look at

our daily news. You had a piece about the bombing in Istanbul by

Isis. All of the grotesque and morbid videos that we see Isis Post

on a weekly basis. Is there a route? One thing being upset about what is

happening, but finding your way to a battlefield, that requires help from

somewhere. Exactly. There are Facebook pages and people take

themselves off to Kurdistan. Once they are there, it is quite easy.

And the YPG of the most effective fighting force against Isis, they

have been the one force that has consistently fought Isis right to

the outside of Raqqa, they don't need international volunteers,

really. But once people are out there... It is a bit like the

Spanish Civil War, the fight against fascism, there were international

brigades that fought against fascism, and it is very similar to

those times. Once they are out there, the YPG will give them

training and facilitate them to fight. Mostly, they encourage them

to stay behind the front lines. But many of these fighters are highly

motivated and thoughtful. They have thought this through. Even the short

time Ryan was there, he was bombed in a village by Turkish airplay is,

and he lost many of his colleagues in that bombing, two other

international volunteers as well. But he changed units and he wanted

to fight on the front line against -- in the Raqqa operation. We don't

want people to go, but when they are they that are doing incredibly brave

things in the fight against Isis. We have to acknowledge that.

But are people here still excited about Brexit?

Is it access to the single market which involves much

We pay into the EU and in exchange, we get to trade with them,

but we have to accept freedom of movement.

That means unlimited numbers of EU workers coming to Britain to work.

Or is it this - complete control of our borders?

Because the only certainty we have here is that we cannot have both.

Does it concern you when you hear things about the economy?

For example, going on holiday already costs more money

because the value of the pound is low.

There's some beautiful holiday destinations.

If people were putting more money back into our own economy,

rather than feeding everyone else's economy, this country would thrive.

Come to Great Yarmouth, go to Blackpool, go to Liverpool,

go to different areas where you've got these beautiful seaside towns

that are getting forgotten and ignored and neglected.

Do you still feel excited about Brexit?

I think it was the best thing we could have done.

Joining the EU was the worst decision Britain ever made.

Do we want access to the single market or do we want complete

and I agree with that, but when is it going to stop?

I voted leave because I went with the flow.

If there was another referendum tomorrow, hypothetically...

And I knew more about it, possibly could change my mind.

Even if it comes at the cost of the economy,

controlling the borders, that's the most important thing?

Do you think Parliament should have a vote on Brexit?

I think they should get back in, put all of their heads together,

54 people went for this, complete conviction,

like they had six months ago, to control our borders.

24 people went for single market access.

We are not pollsters and our Brexit boards are not scientific,

and control of our borders is still the major concern.

Let's talk now to Rachel Johnson, columnist at the Mail on Sunday.

Rossalyn Warren, a freelance journalist and commentator

Stephen Bush, special correspondent at the New Statesman magazine.

Who we have predicted so much that ended up happening in 2016. I want

predictions from you for 2017. Do you think we will start to get

clarity because the Government position is triggering Article 50 by

the end of March? Absolutely. I think, well, eventually after a year

of turmoil in 2016, with a lot of things left up in the air and many

things still left uncertain, too as we have seen in the video clip to

the British public, I think the public need clarity now and I think

there will be elements to that drawn out this year. In there isn't

clarity, Rachel, how much of a problem is that for the Government?

Hearing our voters there, there is anger out there that the clarity

isn't coming through, isn't there? Well, there is something like a

timetable which is that Article 50 is going to be triggered by the end

of March. But I'm wondering whether there is going to be so much

uncertainty across national elections in Europe, it lies behind

some of the prevarication that we have seen this from Government

pronouncements. In a sense, if Marie Le Pen win ins France, she will take

France out of the euro which could trigger a reconfiguration of the

European project with an inner core and outer core. Us leaving is going

to look like a teddy bears' picnic. Our local matter of leaving the EU,

however, hard, soft, red, white or blue will be a sideshow. What do you

think will happen with Brexit, Stephen? I think it will be

triggered in March. One of the odd things about this court case, it is

a fight the Government didn't need to pick. We know they have got the

votes to trigger it in Parliament, it will be triggered. The tricky

thing for them is we are going to have a lot of election ins Europe

where this idea the Government has and you can keep your Brexit stance

secret, it might work here, but it will be an issue in the French

elections and the Dutch and the German elections, what's your

response to Brexit? It will be hard for the Government not to give a

running commentary on other people's running commentaries. Elections

elsewhere, as you mentioned, what about the prospect por for an early

election here? Downing Street have been firm on why they don't want

one. Their argument, they are worried you could end up with a

coalition of the remain parties or some other chaotic event and people

want stability, that's broadly true, but her majority is small. And the

opposition is very weak. You can see the argument for it. I think she

might be forced into one, but I don't think she will do it

willingly. What do you think, Rachel Well, she has been categorical there

won't be an election until 2020 and I don't think Labour want one, the

Corbyn Labour... If Labour are weak is that a good time? There gives her

an incentive, but we have the fixed term parliaments Act, you repeal it

or engineer a collapse of your own Government, as far as I understand

it, but Stephen probably knows more. That's right. It is a poorly written

bit of legislation. It is not clear in the collapsing your own

Government, dhauz mean Jeremy Corbyn would become Prime Minister and

Theresa May, or some Conservative grandee would become Prime Minister.

It is really difficult to get an early election unless you start

losing votes in the House regularly. She does only have a majority of 11

now because she lost one, thanks to Zac Goldsmith. It is going to get

trickier for her to get stuff done. Predictions on Jeremy Corbyn because

still questions about his leadership and prediction from one think-tank

today that Labour could struggle to get 150 seats in the next election,

do you think he will survive the year? They won't want an Lech any

time soon. -- election any time soon. I think he will stick it out

as we have seen in the last year oar so. He has managed to claw his way

through and I don't see that changing any time this year

personally. The vultures are circling. We have had Len McCluskey

and we have had also Keir Starmer who queried his stance on freedom of

movement. And so, I feel that, you know, nevertheless even if he is a

dead man, the dead man will carry on walking. Stephen? Yes, Jeremy Corbyn

will be leader of the Labour Party at least until the next election and

potentially for sometime. He has ridden so many storms, hasn't he?

You must wonder whether the appetite starts to wane after that? Jeremy

Corbyn is's career has been riding storms. That's not going to change.

30 years of behaviour won't change over the next 12 months. In some

ways, there is an interesting comparison where the Labour Party

membership is on Corbyn. They said, "We voted for this. We want you to

make a success of it." They are not going to blame the person they voted

for, they are going to blame remainers for not making Brexit work

and Labour MPs for not making Corbyn work. Let's turn to European

politics. You mentioned it and obviously, Rachel throwing up the

prospect of what happens if the incumbents lose in France and

Germany. In Germany, 59% according to polls want Angela Merkel to

continue as chancellor after the election in February. How will you

call for things at this stage for what you think is likely to happen?

Well, I mean, it is a mug's game being Mystic Meg. It has been

confounded every single time. I want Merkel to win because I really

believe Germany, we need leadership in Europe and Germany, she has

proved a wonderful internationalist. I mean, you can query what she did

on open borders, but I think, that she putting herself down for a

fourth term was brave, it was correct. I hope she wins, but if she

doesn't win, if this whole immigration thing has really cleared

her pitch, I think, Europe is in absolute turmoil, that's the end

game. As I said earlier, the only solution I see then is you have an

outer core and inner core where Italy, Italy, Spain, Greece spin off

and you have Germany, Belgium, Luxembourg, and a bit of the Nordic

rim. Around the euro and all the other countries reclaim their

original currencies. How would you call the French and German elections

this year, Stephen? Merkel will win. She will come first. If she is

defeated it will be by the left. I think she will be chancellor again

for a long time. France is more difficult to call. But the thing we

forget about both Brexit and Trump although they are very different

from Le Pen particularly Brexit, they were both going with the grain

of British politics, anti-Europeanism. In France, the

tradition of voting against the parties of theks trem and the second

round of their election is very strong. I think she will find it

hard to win. Much harder than Brexit would.

I think that 2017 will see a continued growth for far-right

parties across Europe and they have always existed across Europe, but

brought forward a set of policies across a board as we say a

particularly high anti-migrant, anti-refugee sentiment by a lot of

these parties will be more evident this year. With Merkel her biggest

criticism has been the open border policy, but I think there is a

divide there in what the media depict about her in saying that she

has lost a lot of faith, Germans lost a lot of faith in her, but the

polls have said they continue to support her. So and I think with

Trump's selection, of course, I don't think, he helped ignite

something in Europe that sort of ignited the far-right policies here

and far-right parties here, but as we say, they have existed for a long

time, but he sort of brought that, I forget what was said, but this is

our time. This is a turning point for us and our parties to take that

step forward and to be accepted in our countries. You think that 2017

will be the year of revolution as well as 2016. Please, no! It will be

interesting. We will have to check-in with you several times.

Thank you very much indeed. We can show you now some incredible

footage from the US now of two year old twins,

Bowdy and Brock. Their parents decided to share this

video to raise awareness of the dangers of not bolting heavy

furniture to the wall. It looks who have rishg. Neither of

the boys were injured, thank goodness.

It is extraordinary, isn't it, to watch it?

The little boy who is on top. Look, he tries to lift up the chest of

drawers to get his brother out. Amazingly, the brother who is under

the chest of drawers is not injured and look, he manages to get out with

the help of his brother, but just shocking images and the parents have

chosen to put the pictures out to let all parents out there know just

drill furniture to the wall to stop anything like that happening.

Here's Ben in the BBC Newsroom with a summary of today's news.

West Yorkshire Police say a pre-planned operation

in which a man was shot dead by an officer was not

The police watchdog the IPCC is investigating the incident,

which took place near the M62 in Huddersfield yesterday evening.

Five people were arrested as part of the operation,

including two from a related vehicle stop in Bradford at the same time.

Kurdish militants say a British man has been killed fighting with them

against the group calling itself Islamic State in Syria.

They've told the BBC that Ryan Lock, who was 20 and from West Sussex,

died during an assault on the IS stronghold of Raqqa

It's believed he travelled to Syria last August,

and joined a Kurdish volunteer group called the YPG.

We have been talking to a Kurdish activist who visited his family on

Sunday to inform them of his death. They are completely and utterly

devastated and deep in grief. Not really wanting to think about the

issues surrounding Isis or the Kurds or YPG. He fell on the 21st of

December but there has been a process by which the YPG try to

confirm it was him. That confirmation came through to them on

Friday. The Ministry of Defence says

a British soldier has died in Iraq. The soldier, from the 2nd

Battalion the Duke of Lancaster's Regiment,

died near Baghdad, following an incident

which is now being investigated. The regiment is training Iraqi

and Kurdish security forces. The death wasn't the result

of enemy activity. The soldier's family

has been informed. It's reported in Turkey

that the authorities now know the identity of the main suspect

in the mass shooting It's understood he's 28-year-old

Iakhe Mashrapov from Kyrgyzstan. 39 people were killed and dozens

wounded when an attacker opened fire on a New Year party

with Jessica Creighton. Manchester City manager

Pep Guardiola says he's "arriving at the end of his career" and that

City might be one of his last teams. His side beat Burnley 2-1 yesterday,

but Guardiola was visibly upset about the sending-off of one

of his players. City are up to third in the table,

but seven points adrift British number one Johanna Konta

at Alexandra Palace. And, David Warner has become

the first batsman to score a century before lunch in a Test in Australia,

as his side dominated Pakistan on the first day

of the third Test in Sydney. More on the BBC News channel through

the day. A Paralympic athlete and MBE-awarded

disabilities campaigner says she was forced to wet herself

on train because it didn't Anne Wafula Strike says

that she was left humiliated after the three-hour journey

on a CrossCountry train with no Despite her embarrassment,

she has decided to go public in the hope it will bring change

for disabled people. We can talk to Anne Wafula Strike

from her home in Harlow in Essex. And with us in the studio is

Sue Bott from Disability Rights UK. Tell us what happened, you were on

the train and realised there was no working disabled toilet for you to

use? I was coming from a very inspiring meeting. As you do when

you are travelling, you want to relieve yourself. I was appalled

that when I went to check, the toilet was boarded up with a big

sign, out of order. I asked the Ticketmaster is they could help in.

She could not do anything, because she was also helpless. She decided

they would get me off at the next station to see if I could use the

toilet and then get me on board again, but when you go to that

station, there was nobody there, so there was not anybody to come up

with a ramp and help me. I had some passengers who were willing to get

me out, but she realised that even if they took me out, I would still

need somebody on the station who would have access to help me get

across to the other side to use the toilet and bring me back. The next

stop for me was Peter. Between then and Peterborough, I could not hold

it anymore, I had to do it. Humiliating, but I had to do it. How

did you feel through the whole process, you were in the hands of

others, needing help, and there was nothing that they could do? When you

are in that situation, that is when you really feel disabled. I rarely

feel disabled, because I like to get about and do things, I like to be in

the community, to support others, but when that happened to me, I

realised that sometimes when you are different, you are so isolated. The

world this qualifies you from having a normal life. When you have a

disability, you don't just have to have equal rights in the community.

It knocked my confidence. When you were on the train, you are talking

about it now, which presumably is not easy, to raise awareness, but

when you were on the train you must have felt vulnerable? I felt very

vulnerable. I felt really exposed. I felt humiliated. I just felt like I

was in this big world, nobody was taking notice that I existed. I

needed to use the toilet. We are talking about a basic need, basic

right, that a human being deserves. I don't think this should be

happening in this century. When did you decide that you wanted to start

to talk about it publicly? When it first happened to me, I could not

look at myself in the mirror, because I was so embarrassed that I

had wet myself. One day I woke up and I looked at myself in the mirror

and I said,... I realised I am not the only one who is experiencing

this, I know so many other people with disabilities going through

different and difficult issues, and I say to myself, I have got to

speak. I am just hoping that by me going public, it will end all of

these things we go on about, self-censorship, and we should

realise that when bad things are happening to us, we need to have a

voice and speak, because when that was going on, I did not have a

voice, it was all taken away from me. I feel that I now have a voice

to speak out against it, I should not just sit and lie in the bed and

want to have bigotry when it was all taken away during that incident --

want to have dignity and allow others to suffer the same. What do

you think about this? I am appalled. You are very brave for coming out

and explaining what happened to you. I really hope that it does a lot of

good. I am sure this has happened to disabled people in the past, but

they have not felt confident or been able to come and speak publicly

about it. Unfortunately, we still have a tick box mentality towards

disability and access. We tick the box that the toilet is there on the

train, we don't think about how we need to consider that it is working

all the time. It takes somebody like Anne to talk about it to get people

to understand why it is important that those facilities are there and

usable. Absolutely. As somebody who does not use a wheelchair, it is

fine, you can get off at the next stop if the toilet is not working.

But Anne does not have that option. That is what I would have done. I

would have crawled to get to the next toilet. But unfortunately, as a

wheelchair user, you don't have that luxury, of the Isles on the train

are quite tight. I agree, it is ticking a box. We have a legislation

that is supposed to protect disabled people to have equal rights with

everybody else, but the problem is that I don't think these

legislations are tough enough. Companies and organisations are

getting away with a lot. In the process of ticking a box to say that

we have a toilet, we have a ramp. What is the point of having that

when it is not functional, when it is not working? One person says, I

was on a train yesterday, I am not disabled, but over the loudspeaker

the person said the disabled toilets are out of order. I found it

outrageous and something that should not have happened. Cross-country

trains say what happened was clearly unacceptable and they are

investigating. What reaction have you had since speaking out?

Everybody is outraged. We are having so many people coming out and

speaking about what they have suffered with the train companies.

It is not on. We are talking about a basic right. I have not had any

apology or any communication from the cross-country trains group. To

me, it is not enough if I ask them to give me my big city back. What I

would ask them is, what are you going to do about this? What do you

want to happen now? I would like to call on change, we need to see

change happen. Companies and organisations should be fined if

they do not appear -- adhere to the legislations, they should be fined

when this happens. The sad thing is that when people come out and

complain, you are easily send maybe an apology letter and a ?10 voucher,

and that is not what I am looking for. I am looking for changes, I am

looking for... When people with disabilities are travelling, using

public transport, we need to be treated as equal members of the

community, so the changes need to come in pretty soon, and such

companies should pay huge fines. One person has tweeted to say, the train

should have been withdrawn, Anne has nothing to be ashamed of. There has

been a brief statement from the train company, saying what happened

to Anne was completely unacceptable and they are investigating. They say

the circumstances were unacceptable. It is the first time they have been

aware of such a situation happening. At 10:45am we'll be looking ahead

to this month's film releases, and asking if Hollywood is making

progress on diversity. One of the best movies of the year

coming out in the run-up to the Oscars nominations.

Four years ago, a British backpacker was found stabbed to death

on a houseboat in Srinagar in Indian Kashmir.

Two months later, a Dutch man, Richard de Wit,

He has always maintained he is not guilty.

The trial process has been repeatedly interrupted.

The last hearing, in December, was the 84th since proceedings began.

We're now joined in Guernsey by Vic and Kate Groves,

Why is this case taking so long? That is quite a long story. I

suppose you could point the finger at a number of people. Of the 84

hearings you mentioned, 64 have been unproductive. That has been caused

by such things as witnesses not showing up, by the accused not being

brought to court because of civil unrest or strikes, because the

accused has fired his lawyer for times, we have lost 25 hearings

because he has no legal representation in court. In a way,

the tale has been wagging the dog, we have had no witnesses processed

since 2015. It must be horrendous for you to be having to go through

this on top of your loss already. We have got more used to it now,

because we can see it coming. In the old days, when the trial started, we

were looking forward to the dates come up because we thought some

progress would be made and we were looking forward to hearing what was

coming out of court. But as the proceedings have gone along through

time, we can almost predict whether or not any progress will be made.

But it does not lessen the fact that this is something that we can not

live with much longer, because it is dragging on in an inexcusable

manner. We saw a beautiful picture of Sarah.

She looks gorgeous. Tell us about Sarah. Sarah, she was the embodiment

of every wonderful quality that you would hope for in a child. She was

adventurous, kind, caring to the enth degree. Just, she wanted to

give part of herself to people in the world who were less privileged

than she had been and so she decided that she would make a plan to go

travelling to areas where she could perhaps help to improve the lives of

some of the people in those destinations. Obviously, just

beautiful words from you about your daughter. How important is it that

you see justice done? Well, I think it is the definition of justice that

we're interested in. We want to reach a safe conclusion but because

of the nature of the trial, we are on the second judge shortly I think

to be the third judge. The second public prosecutor and the fourth

defence counsel, over time things have changed and the way the court

case has been handled, the quality of the examination,

cross-examination of witnesses, the quality, the very poor quality of

the documentation that's come out, we just want to know that when we

get to the end of the trial, whatever that verdict is, and it

could be either, we want to believe in it, trust in it, we want it to be

a safe verdict to use the legal terminology. Right now, I don't

think we have that level of confidence and really things have

got to move up a notch or two or three before we could ever get to

the point where we would have confidence. We wish you the very

best and we're very sorry for your loss. Thank you very much. Thank

you. Thank you. Thank you for talking to us.

A spokesperson from the Foreign Office has told us, "Our sympathies

have been with the Groves family since Sarah's tragic death

and we will continue to help them however we can.

We have been providing support to them since her death

and are in regular contact, liaising with the Indian
