The orphans of Aleppo finally rescued from | :00:00. | :00:15. | |
of their city, as the evacuations in Syria resume. | :00:16. | :00:17. | |
All 47 children who'd been trapped in an orphanage in a rebel held | :00:18. | :00:21. | |
enclave have been evacuated - some are in a critical condition. | :00:22. | :00:23. | |

again from both East Aleppo Almost 50 orphans who'd been trapped | :01:49. | :01:53. | |
in a rebel held enclave in Eastern Aleppo for months have | :01:54. | :01:58. | |
finally been brought out to safety - some are in a critical condition | :01:59. | :02:01. | |
from injuries or dehydration. And a seven year old girl Bana al | :02:02. | :02:04. | |
Abed, who gained international attention after she began tweeting | :02:05. | :02:09. | |
about life in her home city is also among thousands more | :02:10. | :02:12. | |
who have been able to leave. But tens of thousands | :02:13. | :02:14. | |
are still trapped in the city. Many in East Aleppo, including | :02:15. | :02:27. | |
children, waited outside yesterday in freezing conditions. Hoping the | :02:28. | :02:31. | |
buses would take them away from the hellish conditions of this, the | :02:32. | :02:37. | |
remnants of the rebel stronghold. But it was only in the early hours | :02:38. | :02:42. | |
of this morning that finally the evacuations resumed. After a new | :02:43. | :02:47. | |
deal was struck between the warring factions. Already today, more than | :02:48. | :02:53. | |
4000 people have got out. For these families, huge relief. Medicine and | :02:54. | :02:58. | |
food now available. Amongst them was this seven year old girl, Bana al | :02:59. | :03:09. | |
Abed, whose plight has been followed by hundreds of millions around the | :03:10. | :03:15. | |
world. Helped by her family, she wrote a series of tweets, she feared | :03:16. | :03:25. | |
they would all be killed. We endured endless bombardment in Aleppo. We | :03:26. | :03:29. | |
have managed to escape the destruction because our house was | :03:30. | :03:34. | |
reduced to rubble. I would like to say thank you to all those who have | :03:35. | :03:39. | |
been asking about our news. Also able to escape today was this group | :03:40. | :03:45. | |
of 40 orphans who had been trapped by the fighting, some critically | :03:46. | :03:49. | |
injured. They are too had used the internet to make a last-ditch appeal | :03:50. | :03:55. | |
for help. This video going viral. TRANSLATION: Please allow us to | :03:56. | :04:02. | |
evacuate Aleppo. We wish to leave so we can eat and drink. We love peace. | :04:03. | :04:06. | |
But it is not just the people of East Aleppo being taken to safety | :04:07. | :04:11. | |
today. These buses are carrying hundreds of villagers who have been | :04:12. | :04:14. | |
surrounded by rebel fighters in the nearby province of the glib. | :04:15. | :04:18. | |
Allowing these people to escape was a key part of the agreement reached | :04:19. | :04:26. | |
at the weekend. TRANSLATION: This agreement is a humanitarian one. | :04:27. | :04:31. | |
Those evacuated include injured or sick individuals, as well as elderly | :04:32. | :04:37. | |
people. Today, there is hope that most of these civilians caught up in | :04:38. | :04:41. | |
the fighting here will reach safety. But many thousands more weight to be | :04:42. | :04:47. | |
evacuated, and the ceasefire is very fragile. Richard Galpin, BBC News. | :04:48. | :04:51. | |
Our correspondent James Longman is in Beirut. | :04:52. | :04:55. | |
Turkey's Foreign Minister has just said some 20,000 people have so far | :04:56. | :05:01. | |
been evacuated from eastern Aleppo but there are tens of thousands more | :05:02. | :05:08. | |
who want to get out. That's right. The numbers are rising very steadily | :05:09. | :05:11. | |
today because the evacuation is moving so quickly. 20,000 have been | :05:12. | :05:17. | |
able to leave, according to the Turkish, but another 20,000 or so | :05:18. | :05:21. | |
probably are still in East Aleppo. We keep getting notifications every | :05:22. | :05:26. | |
half-hour or so from the Syrian Observatory for human rights, saying | :05:27. | :05:29. | |
more buses have gone in to get them. This evacuation is certainly moving | :05:30. | :05:33. | |
at pace. I think really the question is what happens next to these | :05:34. | :05:37. | |
people, because even if they get out of East Aleppo, which they seem to | :05:38. | :05:40. | |
be able to do, they get to this holding station, which we saw in | :05:41. | :05:46. | |
Richard's report, where they are given food and medical care, but | :05:47. | :05:48. | |
then what happens to people after that? Most of them choose to go to | :05:49. | :05:53. | |
the last rebel stronghold in Syria, a big province in north-western | :05:54. | :05:56. | |
Syria. People can go there, they can join up with people that have | :05:57. | :06:00. | |
previously left other parts of Syria but then what do the Russians decide | :06:01. | :06:03. | |
to do, what do the Syrians decide to do? We are still no closer to | :06:04. | :06:06. | |
knowing what happens to them. Thank you. | :06:07. | :06:08. | |
Thousands of workers have begun a wave of strikes in the run-up | :06:09. | :06:11. | |
to Christmas affecting rail and postal services. | :06:12. | :06:15. | |
3,000 staff at hundreds of Crown post offices | :06:16. | :06:17. | |
are on strike today, Tuesday and Saturday in a dispute | :06:18. | :06:20. | |
over pension changes, job security and closures. | :06:21. | :06:21. | |
But the Post Office says fewer than 300 branches | :06:22. | :06:24. | |
Up to 300,000 Southern Rail passengers face more misery | :06:25. | :06:27. | |
as conductors begin two more days of strike action. | :06:28. | :06:30. | |
Here's our business correspondent, John Moylan. | :06:31. | :06:38. | |
Postal workers brought a special delivery for the government today. | :06:39. | :06:44. | |
Outside the department for business, mail bags containing 70,000 | :06:45. | :06:49. | |
postcards from the public, backing a campaign to fight closures of | :06:50. | :07:00. | |
flagship post offices. We are defending postal services across the | :07:01. | :07:03. | |
UK, the very future of high Street post offices is under threat. We | :07:04. | :07:06. | |
know the government and the company are lining up to make further | :07:07. | :07:10. | |
announcements in January to close and franchise more of our high | :07:11. | :07:13. | |
Street Post offices. The timing of the day's strike is designed to put | :07:14. | :07:17. | |
maximum pressure on the post office. This week is by far its busiest for | :07:18. | :07:21. | |
handling parcels and letters, and Christmas cheer would appear to be | :07:22. | :07:29. | |
in short supply elsewhere as well, with a number of strikes. Planes and | :07:30. | :07:34. | |
trains are also at the heart of this Christmas of discontent. Southern | :07:35. | :07:37. | |
Rail passengers face more disruption as 400 conductors walk-out today and | :07:38. | :07:41. | |
tomorrow. Airline travellers will also face double trouble this week, | :07:42. | :07:46. | |
as baggage handlers for Swiss Port are set to strike this Friday and | :07:47. | :07:50. | |
Saturday. This will mainly affect regional airports. And talks got | :07:51. | :07:53. | |
underway this morning to try and head off a strike over pay involving | :07:54. | :07:57. | |
thousands of airlines of British cabin crew. -- British Airways cabin | :07:58. | :08:03. | |
crew. But why is it all happening now? The reality is that management | :08:04. | :08:11. | |
is not listening to them, they need to do something that shows they are | :08:12. | :08:13. | |
serious about the issues that matter to them. The post offers claims it | :08:14. | :08:20. | |
is business as usual, while dozens of city centre sites are closed, | :08:21. | :08:23. | |
post-office insists its modernisation plans will go ahead. | :08:24. | :08:28. | |
What we can't do of course is change a strategy which is about improving | :08:29. | :08:32. | |
post office services for customers in an increasingly competitive | :08:33. | :08:36. | |
marketplace, with changing lifestyles. The Post Office needs to | :08:37. | :08:42. | |
change and is changing. Some say that union laws should be tightened | :08:43. | :08:46. | |
to prevent this disruption. Government says it keeps these | :08:47. | :08:51. | |
issues under review. Norman Smith is in Westminster. Downing Street said | :08:52. | :08:58. | |
people's lives are being disrupted in a completely unacceptable manner | :08:59. | :09:01. | |
but is there much the government can do? There is a lot of talk and | :09:02. | :09:10. | |
pressure. People can't post the Christmas parcels, worried about | :09:11. | :09:13. | |
flights over Christmas, now it has been announced that Weetabix workers | :09:14. | :09:19. | |
are going on strike. We have had Tory MPs demanding emergency | :09:20. | :09:21. | |
legislation to curb the strike threats. Some senior Conservatives | :09:22. | :09:25. | |
say it is all part of a political campaign to damage Theresa May. She | :09:26. | :09:29. | |
needs to fight back. The language as you suggest coming from number ten | :09:30. | :09:34. | |
is pretty tough. But when the mist clears, I don't see any real | :09:35. | :09:38. | |
appetite in government to intervene, and the reason is, if Mrs May was to | :09:39. | :09:42. | |
introduce new anti-strike laws, that would take months and months and | :09:43. | :09:47. | |
months. So it is going to be no use whatsoever in terms of these | :09:48. | :09:51. | |
disputes. More than that, there is a worry it could sour the atmosphere | :09:52. | :09:54. | |
between the trade unions and employers, making it even harder to | :09:55. | :09:59. | |
get a resolution. And the government has only just passed fresh | :10:00. | :10:02. | |
anti-strike laws which are meant to come into force next year. But there | :10:03. | :10:06. | |
is another reason, and it is our old friend Brexit. You may wonder what | :10:07. | :10:12. | |
has Brussels got to do with Christmas chaos? The reason is | :10:13. | :10:16. | |
Theresa May knows she is going to need all her strength and energy for | :10:17. | :10:18. | |
the political and Parliamentary tussles ahead over Brexit. She | :10:19. | :10:24. | |
absolutely does not want to get sucked into a fist fight with the | :10:25. | :10:26. | |
trade unions and the labour movement. So the view in Downing | :10:27. | :10:32. | |
Street is negotiation not legislation and confrontation is the | :10:33. | :10:36. | |
way to get this sorted. Norman Smith in Westminster, thank you. | :10:37. | :10:38. | |
There've been chaotic scenes at the Northern Ireland Assembly | :10:39. | :10:41. | |
as politicians from most of the main political parties | :10:42. | :10:43. | |
The First Minister, Arlene Foster, had been about to make a statement | :10:44. | :10:47. | |
over a controversial green energy scheme. | :10:48. | :10:50. | |
But under Norther Ireland's rules, she's never allowed to operate | :10:51. | :10:52. | |
without the support of her deputy, Sinn Fein's Martin McGuinness. | :10:53. | :10:54. | |
And that created turmoil this morning at Stormont, from where our | :10:55. | :10:57. | |
Ireland Correspondent Chris Buckler now reports. | :10:58. | :11:03. | |
Members, having been given notice by both the... Northern Ireland's First | :11:04. | :11:12. | |
Minister Arlene Foster went to the storm on the assembly yesterday in | :11:13. | :11:14. | |
an attempt to take control of what has become a financial mess. But | :11:15. | :11:22. | |
proceedings began with chaotic scenes. Opposition parties walked | :11:23. | :11:25. | |
out and the First Minister was left alone with her party, the DUP, while | :11:26. | :11:30. | |
outside their partners in power-sharing, Sinn Fein, could | :11:31. | :11:33. | |
pressure for a full independent enquiry into a badly thought green | :11:34. | :11:38. | |
energy scheme. We need to establish all the facts are many to know who | :11:39. | :11:44. | |
benefited from this failed scheme. The First Minister should stand | :11:45. | :11:49. | |
aside to allow the investigation to take place. The controversial | :11:50. | :11:52. | |
renewable heat incentive scheme originally worked like this. For | :11:53. | :11:58. | |
every ?1 of fuel a company uses, they are paid around ?1 60, to | :11:59. | :12:04. | |
encourage them to buy environmentally friendly boilers. | :12:05. | :12:06. | |
But because initially there were no caps all events, in the scheme's 20 | :12:07. | :12:13. | |
year life it is expected to go ?400 million over budget, money which | :12:14. | :12:14. | |
storm want is responsible for. These last week the former DUP enterprise | :12:15. | :12:26. | |
Minister Jonathan Bell accused officials from his own party of | :12:27. | :12:31. | |
delaying crucial changes to try to stop the scheme running out of | :12:32. | :12:35. | |
control. That is being denied by the DUP, and he says has since been | :12:36. | :12:40. | |
suspended either party but the scheme was badly flawed. A | :12:41. | :12:44. | |
confidential report seen by the BBC suggests those errors have allowed | :12:45. | :12:49. | |
some firms to abuse it by heating buildings just the profit. Northern | :12:50. | :12:53. | |
Ireland's First Minister was the enterprise minister when the scheme | :12:54. | :12:56. | |
was set up, which is why she is a politician under pressure. I am | :12:57. | :13:00. | |
sorry that the initial scheme did not control cost control measures | :13:01. | :13:04. | |
and there were fundamental flaws in this design. This is the deepest | :13:05. | :13:08. | |
political regret of my time in this house. But storm on's other parties | :13:09. | :13:12. | |
were not here to hear the First Minister explain why she wants to | :13:13. | :13:15. | |
try to sort this out. They had walked out the assembly again, a | :13:16. | :13:19. | |
sign of the sheer political heat about this issue in Northern | :13:20. | :13:20. | |
Ireland. MPs have begun taking evidence in an | :13:21. | :13:28. | |
enquiry into combating doping in sport. The culture media and sport | :13:29. | :13:32. | |
committee are putting questions the Team Sky, British cycling and the | :13:33. | :13:37. | |
world anti-doping agency. Richard Conway is in Westminster for us now. | :13:38. | :13:46. | |
It has been a difficult morning the key members of British cycling. They | :13:47. | :13:48. | |
have been called before the culture media and sport select committee to | :13:49. | :13:52. | |
answer questions affectively revolving around two big issues. The | :13:53. | :13:57. | |
first is about their medical package that was delivered to Team Sky back | :13:58. | :14:02. | |
in 2011. Team Sky have been responsible for some of the big wins | :14:03. | :14:05. | |
in British cycling over the years, with Sir Bradley Wiggins and Chris | :14:06. | :14:07. | |
Froome amongst them. Back in 2011, it has been reported that a package | :14:08. | :14:10. | |
was delivered to them at the end of a race, and the contents of that | :14:11. | :14:13. | |
package will yet to have been disclosed. UK Anti-Doping is | :14:14. | :14:16. | |
currently conducting an investigation into that. Speaking | :14:17. | :14:21. | |
this morning to bon Howdon, the president of British cycling, they | :14:22. | :14:24. | |
said they were unable to speak about it because UK Anti-Doping had denied | :14:25. | :14:28. | |
them permission to do so. That was disputed by the committee. Some | :14:29. | :14:31. | |
terse exchanges, and as you can hear now between Bob Howdon and Damian | :14:32. | :14:37. | |
Collins, the chair of the committee, in the end what they have decided to | :14:38. | :14:40. | |
do is eventually the right to the committee and give them information | :14:41. | :14:43. | |
about what exactly was that package. But we are certainly not aware of | :14:44. | :14:49. | |
any doping products that would be in there. It has not come across our | :14:50. | :14:57. | |
viewpoint. I didn't say it was doping products, I just wanted to | :14:58. | :15:01. | |
see if you knew what was in it, because I find it extraordinary that | :15:02. | :15:04. | |
you don't necessarily know what evidence British cycling has given | :15:05. | :15:09. | |
to you get with regards to this. Service Shane Sutton, currently | :15:10. | :15:13. | |
giving evidence, and the issue of therapeutic use exemption is, | :15:14. | :15:16. | |
medical certificates within the sport, the ethical and moral use, | :15:17. | :15:20. | |
that is up for discussion as well. Said Dave Brailsford will also be | :15:21. | :15:23. | |
talking to MPs as well, the head of Team Sky. | :15:24. | :15:28. | |

Could this be the answer to the UK's housing crisis? | :15:37. | :15:40. | |
Plans are unveiled to build thousands of flat pack houses. | :15:41. | :15:45. | |
Leicester appeal Jamie Vardy's red card from Saturday's | :15:46. | :15:48. | |
They're arguing he was knocked-off balance before making | :15:49. | :15:51. | |
Britain's housing problem is well known - not enough homes, | :15:52. | :16:06. | |
and many of them so expensive they're beyond the reach | :16:07. | :16:09. | |
One solution could be so-called "flat pack" houses - | :16:10. | :16:14. | |
affordable homes that are quicker and cheaper to put up, | :16:15. | :16:16. | |
and can even be taken apart and moved somewhere else. | :16:17. | :16:19. | |
In fact, the companies behind a new ?2.5 billion housing venture | :16:20. | :16:23. | |
say that by the end of the decade, one in seven houses will be | :16:24. | :16:26. | |
partly built in a factory, then put together on site. | :16:27. | :16:29. | |
Britain's first factory made show house, remote type of the half | :16:30. | :16:45. | |
million... British relationship with factory built houses is coloured by | :16:46. | :16:49. | |
the prefact, then they were only available in magnolia and had a | :16:50. | :16:53. | |
shelf life of ten years but technology has moved on since then, | :16:54. | :16:57. | |
these houses in Manchester were built in a factory 70 miles away. | :16:58. | :17:03. | |
Now add cats say you can't tell the difference in quality between them | :17:04. | :17:07. | |
and conventional new housing but the prices aren't that dissimilar | :17:08. | :17:10. | |
either. One of the partners involved in this deal says that one | :17:11. | :17:14. | |
production is substantially increased economies of scale will | :17:15. | :17:18. | |
kick in, prices will fall, and the housing supply will rise and be more | :17:19. | :17:23. | |
affordable. I think this is a game-changer, in the overall | :17:24. | :17:26. | |
landscape. The housing deficit can only be addressed through an | :17:27. | :17:31. | |
industrialised process s it is like the car manufacture, and until you | :17:32. | :17:34. | |
are in that situation where you are producing volume, can you drive down | :17:35. | :17:38. | |
costs and truly achieve savings. Last year the Government set a | :17:39. | :17:42. | |
target of building one million homes by 2020. That is roughly 200,000 | :17:43. | :17:48. | |
homes a year. If these plans go ahead, the joint venture won't just | :17:49. | :17:52. | |
be building more than 10% of the new homes the country needs every year | :17:53. | :17:56. | |
but creating job, and living, breathing communities. But the | :17:57. | :18:01. | |
housing charity Shelter says Britain's housing crisis is about | :18:02. | :18:04. | |
more than cost Modular housing could be part of the solution but it is | :18:05. | :18:09. | |
only a part. We have to have Government stepping forward and | :18:10. | :18:13. | |
providing more land at affordable prices otherwise it is trying to | :18:14. | :18:16. | |
solve the blockage at the wrong end of the problem. The companies | :18:17. | :18:20. | |
involved say they will start deliver affordable homes within the next two | :18:21. | :18:22. | |
years. A convicted paedophile has become | :18:23. | :18:27. | |

old and last week he was found guilty of carrying out a string | :18:31. | :18:34. | |
of sexual offences against young Today he was sentenced | :18:35. | :18:36. | |
to 13 years in prison. From Birmingham Crown Court, | :18:37. | :18:40. | |
Phil Mackie reports. On the surface he is a frail old | :18:41. | :18:52. | |
man, but Ralph Clarke was a serial sex offender who abused three very | :18:53. | :18:56. | |
young children 40 years ago. After suffering in silence for decade, | :18:57. | :19:00. | |
last year, they found the courage to tell the police, and to come to | :19:01. | :19:04. | |
court to face the man who attacked them. He saw it as his God given | :19:05. | :19:11. | |
right. It wasn't. He has damaged so many lives. So many lives, in such a | :19:12. | :19:19. | |
massive way. And he has no remorse. Even now he can't see he has done | :19:20. | :19:25. | |
wrong. He is evil. He deserves to be in prison. He deserves to die in | :19:26. | :19:33. | |
prison. He deserves to rot in hell. They got me a Hank you card, all I | :19:34. | :19:37. | |
it says they are happy to be believed. That is all they wanted, | :19:38. | :19:43. | |
was people to believe them and to listen to him in court and know he | :19:44. | :19:49. | |
is lying. Clark never showed any remorse, he shook his head. His | :19:50. | :19:53. | |
victims were in tears as they saw him for one last time. Ralph Clarke | :19:54. | :19:58. | |
used fear and intimidation to control the victims t and sexually | :19:59. | :20:03. | |
abuse them. He took full advantage of their young age, and the | :20:04. | :20:07. | |
situation in order to carry out the offences. The judge said even though | :20:08. | :20:11. | |
it was a deeply upsetting experience for the victim, he said the case | :20:12. | :20:15. | |
sent out a message, he said that those who were sexually abused even | :20:16. | :20:19. | |
in the distant past can rest assured that any complaint will be treated | :20:20. | :20:23. | |
with sympathy and compassion and the victims who I spoke to after their | :20:24. | :20:27. | |
left court said they before glad Ralph Clarke was going to jail. He | :20:28. | :20:32. | |
should have been in prison 40 years ago. Ago. People like him should | :20:33. | :20:39. | |
never come out. Never come out. We have been in our own prison for the | :20:40. | :20:44. | |
last 40 years. And he has lived his life. He can't be released on | :20:45. | :20:48. | |
license until he has served half his sentence when he will be 108. So it | :20:49. | :20:53. | |
is likely the man who abused three little children decades ago will die | :20:54. | :20:56. | |
in jail. The oldest man ever sent to prison. | :20:57. | :21:06. | |
The Defence Secretary Michael Fallon will make a statement in the house | :21:07. | :21:09. | |
of commons on this evening on reports that British-made cluster | :21:10. | :21:11. | |
bombs may have been used by Saudi forces in Yemen. | :21:12. | :21:14. | |
The weapon releases multiple smaller bombs over a wide area, | :21:15. | :21:16. | |
and it's illegal to supply them under British law. | :21:17. | :21:18. | |
Our security correspondent Frank Gardner reports. | :21:19. | :21:23. | |
Amid the horror of Yemen's two-year-old war, there are some | :21:24. | :21:29. | |
weapons that won't go away. Along with landmine, the cluster bomb | :21:30. | :21:34. | |
poses an extreme risk to civilians. Banned in Britain since 2010, some | :21:35. | :21:41. | |
of these bombs sold by the UK to said -- Saudi Arabia before the ban | :21:42. | :21:45. | |
have been used in Yemen The six has been difficult for the British | :21:46. | :21:48. | |
Government. Saudi Arabia is hugely important to the UK and to the | :21:49. | :21:53. | |
British defence industry, but just as relevant as that is considering | :21:54. | :21:57. | |
what would be the consequence of restricting arms deliveries to Saudi | :21:58. | :22:02. | |
Arabia. Saudi Air Force Tornado jets were | :22:03. | :22:06. | |
fitted to carry cluster bomb, the Saudis say they don't use British | :22:07. | :22:10. | |
cluster bombs as they have all expired. Whitehall officials say the | :22:11. | :22:15. | |
Saudis have destroyed their British stocks, and yet, evidence of their | :22:16. | :22:19. | |
use has been found on the ground in Yemen. We know many years ago the | :22:20. | :22:24. | |
British Government sold cluster bombs, they are now illegal. What we | :22:25. | :22:29. | |
are clear about at amnesty, they are now turning up in Yemen. We told the | :22:30. | :22:35. | |
British Government this in May this year, when our researchers | :22:36. | :22:38. | |
discovered cluster bombs being used. We had the evidence. | :22:39. | :22:44. | |
For the Prime Minister, Theresa May, seen here meeting gulf rulers this | :22:45. | :22:48. | |
month. This is an awkward issue, he Government is pushing for closer | :22:49. | :22:54. | |
ties with the gulf, the Human Rights activists and Jeremy Corbyn are | :22:55. | :22:58. | |
calling for an arms embargo on Saudi Arabia. That is something that | :22:59. | :23:01. | |
Number Ten will want to avoid at all costs. In the Commons today, the | :23:02. | :23:08. | |
Defence Secretary is expected to make a statement, clarifying what | :23:09. | :23:11. | |
the Government knows about the use of British weapons in the Yemen war. | :23:12. | :23:15. | |
He is likely to face some pressing questions. | :23:16. | :23:22. | |
Football's international governing body has fined England, Wales, | :23:23. | :23:24. | |
Scotland and Northern Ireland nearly ?80,000 for displaying poppies | :23:25. | :23:26. | |
during World Cup qualifiers around Armistice Day in November. | :23:27. | :23:28. | |
Our sports correspondent David Ornstein is here - | :23:29. | :23:30. | |
and that's because FIFA says they are a political symbol? | :23:31. | :23:36. | |
Yes, you may remember in 2011, England wore a poppy on an armband | :23:37. | :23:45. | |
in a friendly against Spain. So too Scotland, but neither were punished, | :23:46. | :23:49. | |
but since then Fifa have tightened their rules round what they deem to | :23:50. | :23:55. | |
be political, so the Home Nations had been warned, they knew they | :23:56. | :23:59. | |
risked punishment. They hoped they reached a compromise but it hasn't | :24:00. | :24:03. | |
happened N the case of England and Scotland, England have been fined | :24:04. | :24:07. | |
round ?35,000, Scotland 16,00 pounds. For their meeting at | :24:08. | :24:13. | |
Wembley, over both the display of the poppy on an armband. Also by | :24:14. | :24:19. | |
supporters and the English FA has been punished for displays in the | :24:20. | :24:23. | |
stadium. Wales from their friendly against Serbia have been fined round | :24:24. | :24:29. | |
16,00 pounds. Northern Ireland who played Azerbaijan ?15,000, for | :24:30. | :24:33. | |
similar offencers Fifa say there is only room for sport and nothing else | :24:34. | :24:37. | |
when inside the stadium and on the pitch but we can expect appeals | :24:38. | :24:38. | |
pitch but we can expect appeals here. | :24:39. | :24:42. | |
The broadcaster and rabbi, Lionel Blue, has died, aged 86. | :24:43. | :24:45. | |
He became a rabbi in 1960 and was a regular contributor | :24:46. | :24:47. | |
to Thought for the Day on BBC Radio 4. | :24:48. | :24:49. | |
He revealed his sexuality relatively late in life - | :24:50. | :24:52. | |
the first British rabbi to speak openly about his homosexuality | :24:53. | :24:57. | |
Since I couldn't find anyone to love who would love me, | :24:58. | :24:59. | |
I then began to see people in a different light. | :25:00. | :25:06. | |
Crushed in a late-night train, I saw God's image in them, and they ceased | :25:07. | :25:09. | |
to be pushy, crazed cattle, but souls journeying | :25:10. | :25:12. | |
And when I offered one my seat, I saw how love had blossomed | :25:13. | :25:17. | |
The Reverend Lionel Blue,OBE who has died at the age of 86 | :25:18. | :25:26. | |
The Hungarian born actress and socialite, | :25:27. | :25:28. | |
Her age was a closely guarded secret, but she was | :25:29. | :25:34. | |
Her husband announced her death yesterday evening. | :25:35. | :25:39. | |
She made more than 70 films, but as one of the first socialites, | :25:40. | :25:42. | |
she helped invent a new kind of fame from multiple marriages | :25:43. | :25:45. | |
This report from Nick Higham contains some flashing images. | :25:46. | :25:53. | |
Zsa Zsa Gabor may have been a great beauty, | :25:54. | :25:55. | |
I know everything - I heard the verdict. | :25:56. | :25:58. | |
I must take that risk, and so must you. | :25:59. | :26:04. | |
Her screen career was undistinguished, though it did | :26:05. | :26:06. | |
include camp classics like the truly terrible Queen Of Outer Space. | :26:07. | :26:08. | |
If you must go, promise me you're going to come back to me. | :26:09. | :26:11. | |
Her greatest role was as herself, one of the first professional | :26:12. | :26:14. | |
celebrities, famous for simply being famous. | :26:15. | :26:16. | |
She was rich, she was gorgeous, she was outrageous and she ate | :26:17. | :26:19. | |
Her last marriage, in 1986, was her eighth, | :26:20. | :26:24. | |
or ninth, if you include an illegal ceremony conducted at sea. | :26:25. | :26:27. | |
Women don't even get married any more today. | :26:28. | :26:31. | |
They said you have to get married, legalised, which was dumb but now | :26:32. | :26:40. | |
I just leave myself to live in sin, it's wonderful. | :26:41. | :26:43. | |
You have to look after their house and they cheat on you. | :26:44. | :26:49. | |
In 1989, she was briefly jailed for hitting a Hollywood traffic cop | :26:50. | :26:53. | |
She was well into her 70s, though during the court case | :26:54. | :26:58. | |
she was accused of doctoring her driving licence to disguise her age. | :26:59. | :27:01. | |
By then, her film career had collapsed into self-parody. | :27:02. | :27:03. | |
Every time I see you, I get lumps in my throat. | :27:04. | :27:10. | |
But she never lost a certain innocence, nor her wit. | :27:11. | :27:16. | |
As she once said, "I'm a marvellous housekeeper. | :27:17. | :27:17. | |
"Every time I leave a man, I keep his house". | :27:18. | :27:25. | |
The corner shop has been at the centre of our communities | :27:26. | :27:28. | |
for more than 70 years and despite the rise of supermarkets | :27:29. | :27:30. | |
and a change in our shopping habits, the corner shop market is expected | :27:31. | :27:34. | |
to increase by 17% to ?44 billion over the next five years. | :27:35. | :27:37. | |
Babita Sharma - herself the daughter of shopkeepers - investigates | :27:38. | :27:41. | |
how the corner shop has managed to survive. | :27:42. | :27:47. | |
With every corner shop across Britain, there is a story. | :27:48. | :27:52. | |
And that story reflects the changing face and fortunes of the country. | :27:53. | :27:55. | |
And don't bother about the 3p, you can owe it to me. | :27:56. | :28:02. | |
Britain has often been called a nation of shopkeepers, | :28:03. | :28:05. | |
a nation built on entrepreneurial drive which dates back to the 1940s. | :28:06. | :28:13. | |
The corner shop was the social centre of two or three streets. | :28:14. | :28:15. | |
They talked about interesting things. | :28:16. | :28:22. | |
It was the social gathering of the area. | :28:23. | :28:24. | |
It was better than the local BBC, it picked up all the news. | :28:25. | :28:27. | |
The rise of supermarkets threatened the future | :28:28. | :28:29. | |
But with a new wave of migration in Britain in the 1960s came | :28:30. | :28:36. | |
The principle for most Indians were, now we are free of the colonials, | :28:37. | :28:48. | |
We're not going to work for anyone else. | :28:49. | :28:51. | |
It's a small emotional and political revolution for an Indian mentality, | :28:52. | :28:59. | |
to kind of push that through line all the way to becoming | :29:00. | :29:01. | |
an entrepreneur and being your own boss. | :29:02. | :29:03. | |
But life for shopkeepers was not easy, and corner shops were under | :29:04. | :29:10. | |
threat from supermarkets nestling in on the high streets, | :29:11. | :29:13. | |
with discounted products and bargain deals. | :29:14. | :29:17. | |
The corner shop had no choice but to diversify. | :29:18. | :29:20. | |
From here you can see Tesco anywhere, one of the supermarkets. | :29:21. | :29:22. | |
On the other side you have Sainsbury's. | :29:23. | :29:26. | |
Four, five years ago I really thought we would have to wind up | :29:27. | :29:29. | |
and close and forget it, you know. | :29:30. | :29:33. | |
But Sweetmart now seem to have a winning formula. | :29:34. | :29:35. | |
Luring customers with bespoke offerings, from local organics | :29:36. | :29:41. | |
Looking around, I have never seen so many spices and vegetables. | :29:42. | :29:49. | |
Basically, if you want to create anything exotic and exciting | :29:50. | :29:54. | |
With Brexit now a reality, the corner shop may face its biggest | :29:55. | :29:59. | |
But with the emergence of Polish supermarkets and Latvian delis, | :30:00. | :30:03. | |
And you can see more of Booze, Beans Bhajis: The Story | :30:04. | :30:10. | |
of the Corner Shop on BBC Four tonight at 10pm. | :30:11. | :30:14. | |
S, Fifa say there is only room for sport and nothing else when inside | :30:15. | :30:22. | |
the stadium and on the pitch but we can expect appeals here. | :30:23. | :30:24. | |
It is not feeling like December. Very mild so far, and bland really | :30:25. | :30:27. | |
for most of us, in fact this weather watcher's picture illustrates the | :30:28. | :30:31. | |
story again, a cloudy start, low cloud and following and a grey | :30:32. | :30:35. | |
story, but things are set to change, it has to be said. So after a quiet | :30:36. | :30:40. | |
start to the week, it is going to turn wet and windy with gales or | :30:41. | :30:44. | |
severe gales sandwiched in between the two, we could for a time see | :30:45. | :30:48. | |
brighter interludes as well. The reason being though, the high | :30:49. | :30:51. | |
pressure that has been the driving force for so long, that is drifting | :30:52. | :30:55. | |
further east into Europe and it is opening the floodgates for a series | :30:56. | :30:59. | |
of low pressures to move in from the Atlantic, powered by a fast-moving | :31:00. | :31:03. | |
jet stream, the isobars squeezing together. Gales or severe gales | :31:04. | :31:08. | |
likely, there is one area of low pressure moves away, a brief lull | :31:09. | :31:13. | |
before another. This fella could arrive perhaps for Christmas | :31:14. | :31:16. | |
weekend, but let us move back to here and now before we take a look | :31:17. | :31:20. | |
that the in more detail. A lot of cloud round today, as you can see | :31:21. | :31:24. | |
clearly, the cloud has been thick enough for light rain, for some. | :31:25. | :31:28. | |
Look at Northern Ireland an western Scotland. Beautiful afternoon for | :31:29. | :31:31. | |
you, I hope you are making the most of it because all change for | :31:32. | :31:34. | |
tomorrow. Lovely spells of sunshine through western Scotland and | :31:35. | :31:37. | |
Northern Ireland, perhaps the cloud thick enough in eastern Scotland, | :31:38. | :31:41. | |
down into the Lake District and Wale t odd spot or two or drizzle. A | :31:42. | :31:46. | |
weather front is steadily drifting westwards out of south-east England, | :31:47. | :31:49. | |
towards the Midlands and into Lincolnshire for the afternoon. Fair | :31:50. | :31:54. | |
amount of cloud Jenny in England and Wales and another drab afternoon for | :31:55. | :31:59. | |
many. That, the band of patchy rain will drift steadily westwards, | :32:00. | :32:02. | |
further north we see the temperatures falling away, a frost | :32:03. | :32:05. | |
is likely through Northern Ireland, and Scotland, in towns and city | :32:06. | :32:09. | |
centres round freezing but perhaps in rural parts as low as minus two | :32:10. | :32:14. | |
to four, not set to last though, the next area of low pressure will move | :32:15. | :32:20. | |
in and bring wet and windy wester, heavy rain through Northern Ireland, | :32:21. | :32:24. | |
gales or severe gale, maybe storm force in the extreme north-west of | :32:25. | :32:29. | |
Scotland, so a wet and windy afternoon, by contrast for many | :32:30. | :32:32. | |
central and eastern areas the cloud should break up and we will see | :32:33. | :32:36. | |
glimpses of sunshine. Temperatures fairly uniform at six to eight | :32:37. | :32:42. | |
degree, as we move out of Tuesday, into webs, that front pushes | :32:43. | :32:47. | |
steadily south. The isobars still squeeze together, still windy, | :32:48. | :32:50. | |
plenty of frequent squally showers in the far north-west. Some heavy | :32:51. | :32:55. | |
with hail, even know, it stays wet and mild to the south, much colder | :32:56. | :33:01. | |
further north. Our main story. The orphans of | :33:02. | :33:07. | |
Aleppo, they are among 20,000 people who have been rescued from the ruins | :33:08. | :33:11. | |
of their city as the evacuations in Syria resume. Thousands remain | :33:12. | :33:14. | |
That's all from the BBC News at One, so it's goodbye from me, | :33:15. | :33:18. |
