:05:04. > :05:07.collision course between Donald Trump and members of his own party,
:05:08. > :05:12.who want something done about this, but strong words from Joe Biden, who
:05:13. > :05:16.also said the way Donald Trump was behaving was almost like saying that
:05:17. > :05:19.he knew more about physics than his professor, even though he hadn't
:05:20. > :05:23.read the book, he just knew that he knew more. There is a sense of that
:05:24. > :05:27.from a lot of frustrated people within the intelligence services.
:05:28. > :05:30.We've now got this situation today, where we have the national director
:05:31. > :05:34.of intelligence, the head of the CIA, and the head of the FBI, who
:05:35. > :05:38.will sit down with him and explained that they now know some of the
:05:39. > :05:44.motivation behind the Russian hack, where it was directed from. We also
:05:45. > :05:46.hear that they know who then passed on intelligence to WikiLeaks, which
:05:47. > :05:52.is where we all got to know about something of what was hacked. But
:05:53. > :05:55.there are those within Donald Trump's party who say, if this is
:05:56. > :05:59.all true and they believe that it is true, then there have to be
:06:00. > :06:04.sanctions against Russia, there have to be ways in which Russia pays and
:06:05. > :06:08.so far, Donald Trump has not only shown that he is casting doubt on
:06:09. > :06:14.the intelligence which has already been made public, but he's also
:06:15. > :06:21.shown that he is a huge admirer of Donald Trump, so lots of collisions
:06:22. > :06:26.and arguments set to be surrounding this particular issue in the coming
:06:27. > :06:30.weeks. Let's pick up, lots of questions raised there but looking
:06:31. > :06:33.at this relationship between a soon-to-be president and his
:06:34. > :06:36.intelligence services, this appears to be unprecedented. There have been
:06:37. > :06:40.fallings out between the intelligence community of presidents
:06:41. > :06:46.in the past, but I think we've never seen it on Twitter, we've never seen
:06:47. > :06:50.this kind of public disparaging of intelligence by a President-elect.
:06:51. > :06:54.Ever come before. I think in that briefing room, what's colliding two
:06:55. > :06:58.things, really. The credibility of US intelligence, which has been
:06:59. > :07:01.called into question by Donald Trump, and the legitimacy of Donald
:07:02. > :07:05.Trump's own election, which has been called into question by the
:07:06. > :07:08.intelligence community saying Moscow and the Kremlin supported him. Those
:07:09. > :07:12.ideas are going to collide in that briefing room for the first time
:07:13. > :07:16.Donald Trump is going to have to engage with the facts as they are
:07:17. > :07:20.presented. Does he believe them, does he not? How does he talk about
:07:21. > :07:25.them on Twitter afterwards? Everyone below -- everyone will be watching
:07:26. > :07:28.that closely. The risk is for both of them that they both come out
:07:29. > :07:31.damaged, the intelligence community and Donald Trump, by this struggle
:07:32. > :07:37.and to this clash which is going on at the moment Corera, thank you.

:18:15. > :18:24.Stretching for around 100 miles, the rift in the ice shelf has grown rich
:18:25. > :18:28.rapidly in weeks. 12 miles of frozen material is keeping this iceberg
:18:29. > :18:30.from drifting into the sea. Collapsing ice shelves are not

:18:43. > :18:47.discovered the dramatic expansion in the rift that has taken place in
:18:48. > :18:55.just two weeks in December. What we have found, the rift that has been
:18:56. > :18:57.in this ice shelf for a number of years has broken through another 18
:18:58. > :19:00.kilometres and is now at risk of giving birth to an iceberg the
:19:01. > :19:03.quarter of the size of Wales. It is a very large iceberg that will go
:19:04. > :19:09.out into the open ocean but the remaining ice shelf, we believe,
:19:10. > :19:13.will be less stable. When large icebergs break off the edge of an
:19:14. > :19:18.ice shelf like the one in 2002, it can have a dramatic affect on the
:19:19. > :19:23.stability of the structure. Most of the remaining shelf disintegrated in

:19:29. > :19:32.any new iceberg formation could have long-term consequences. When the ice
:19:33. > :19:38.shelf loses this ice, it might start to collapse. If that were to occur,
:19:39. > :19:41.then the glaciers that feed the ice shelf could flow faster and

:19:49. > :19:52.icebergs will be one of the biggest recorded, around 50 times the size

:23:20. > :23:27.You write something, how you're feeling,
:23:28. > :23:31.what you're thinking, and there's a pause while the other
:23:32. > :23:34.person, your therapist, is waiting to respond.
:23:35. > :23:38.And just writing something down, which I'd never done before
:23:39. > :23:41.and I was scared to do it, I found it was a safe

:24:25. > :24:26.And that's really important, because once you know
:24:27. > :24:29.what the problem is, you can start the treatment.

:24:59. > :25:02.Scientists at the site have used virtual reality technology
:25:03. > :25:04.to recreate what the henge would have looked like,
:25:05. > :25:08.thousands of years ago, when it was complete.
:25:09. > :25:11.And they've used ancient musical instruments to recreate
:25:12. > :25:19.Our correspondent, David Sillito, went along for a listen.
:25:20. > :25:31.People have been coming here for at least 4000-5000
:25:32. > :25:35.years, so we're walking in the feet of history.
:25:36. > :25:39.When the wind blows, some people say they hear a strange hum.
:25:40. > :25:43.Thomas Hardy wrote about it in Tess Of The d'Urbervilles,
:25:44. > :25:46.and Dr Rupert Till is convinced the sound of Stonehenge

:25:59. > :26:01.As the sound leaves you, hits the stone and comes
:26:02. > :26:13.The problem is this is just a fragment of the sound people
:26:14. > :26:17.I met the site's historian, Susan Greening.
:26:18. > :26:19.So, this is the front door of Stonehenge we're
:26:20. > :26:24.That's right, yes, and we are coming into the central space now.
:26:25. > :26:26.It does change a bit as you walk through, doesn't it?
:26:27. > :26:29.It does, you have the feeling of being enclosed within a space.
:26:30. > :26:31.And that's with many of the stones having gone?
:26:32. > :26:34.What we're looking at today is the ruin of Stonehenge.
:26:35. > :26:36.Many stones have been taken away from the site,
:26:37. > :26:38.many have fallen down, lots have been eroded,
:26:39. > :26:41.It would've been a completely different atmosphere
:26:42. > :26:58.What this new technology offers is a possibility, a chance to, well,
:26:59. > :27:02.return back and see and also hear what this place used
:27:03. > :27:14.We have constructed it by rebuilding Stonehenge digitally and used
:27:15. > :27:18.software to reconstruct the acoustics of the space
:27:19. > :27:21.as it would have been when all of the stones were here.
:27:22. > :27:26.So, how different is the old sound to the sound we have today?
:27:27. > :27:34.Well, if I tap it strong now, you will hear a little bit of an echo.
:27:35. > :27:36.Well, if I tap this drum now, you will hear
:27:37. > :27:42.When all of the stones are put in place, there is a much more
:27:43. > :27:46.powerful sense of enclosure, a slight reverberation,
:27:47. > :27:50.more echo, and it changes more as you walk around.
:27:51. > :27:52.So today it's just a ruin beside a city road.
:27:53. > :27:55.This, a chance to say goodbye to the 21st century and experience
:27:56. > :28:14.Finally, wanted to be the best friend. Also, must be an elephant.
:28:15. > :28:18.This is the only elephant to be kept in Scottish safari park but she lost
:28:19. > :28:24.her companion last year. So the safari park near Stirling has put
:28:25. > :28:31.out a lonely hearts ad to the zoos of Europe. Lorna Gordon is there.
:28:32. > :28:39.Yes, it has been a lonely existence. She is an animal with a very big
:28:40. > :28:43.heart, but she has been on her own since her companion of almost 20
:28:44. > :28:50.years died last year. With me is the elephant keeper, how has she been
:28:51. > :28:54.coping? When at first her companion died, she was upset. She had been
:28:55. > :29:00.with her for 20 years. But we're lucky, she has a strong character,
:29:01. > :29:05.she is independent and confident and active. It has been easy to keep her
:29:06. > :29:11.busy. And a lot of interaction with the keepers? Yes, we have upped her
:29:12. > :29:14.training sessions to give her more interaction and we have done more
:29:15. > :29:21.enrichment, keeping it varied and different every day. What are you
:29:22. > :29:25.looking for now? Looking for a friend, an African elephant, going
:29:26. > :29:34.to need to be female and about the same age. She is 45 years old now.
:29:35. > :29:38.Also will have to take her character into account, she is quite dominant
:29:39. > :29:44.so we need someone who will fit in with her quite well. Are there any
:29:45. > :29:48.other elephants who fit this in UK? No, we're having to look further
:29:49. > :29:52.afield but we are confident we will find someone. We want to take our
:29:53. > :29:56.time so it is done properly and will be the best the long-term.
:29:57. > :30:02.Eventually you would like her to be joined by more than just one? Yes,
:30:03. > :30:07.we have a very good facility, we are set up to be a retirement home for
:30:08. > :30:12.elderly elephant. Thank you for that, she does seem in fine Vettel,
:30:13. > :30:15.on her own for the last nine months, but hopefully not for much longer.
:30:16. > :30:28.We are bringing in changes as we head into the weekend. Goodbye to
:30:29. > :30:32.the frost. We have had frosty scenes in eastern parts of the country.
:30:33. > :30:36.Hertfordshire is down below freezing but there is some sunshine as well.
:30:37. > :30:41.We're waving goodbye to the frost but also the sunshine. This was in
:30:42. > :30:46.southern Scotland this morning. Temperatures above freezing. But
:30:47. > :30:49.sets us up for the weekend. It will be less chilly but more cloud
:30:50. > :30:53.around. The cloud has been spreading in from the West on the satellite
:30:54. > :31:02.picture. But tied in with this lump of cloud, we have some mild air.
:31:03. > :31:06.That is giving us a misty and murky conditions. 11 degrees in Belfast,
:31:07. > :31:12.eight or nine in Glasgow and brighter glances across northern
:31:13. > :31:18.Scotland, but since that -- southern Scotland into northern England, rain
:31:19. > :31:22.especially of a. As the rain initially arrives across the
:31:23. > :31:25.Midlands, only four Celsius in Birmingham. Maybe the odd glimmer of
:31:26. > :31:29.brightness for a time across the south-east. This evening and
:31:30. > :31:34.tonight, the rain will work its way southwards and eastwards and all
:31:35. > :31:36.others will see some rain. Behind it we have cloud, missed and murk, but
:31:37. > :31:47.look at these temperatures. These are the overnight lows. Frost free.
:31:48. > :31:51.Scotland will see the brightest of the weather tomorrow particularly
:31:52. > :31:55.towards the north and the East. Elsewhere, a lot of cloud, missed
:31:56. > :31:58.and murk, spots of light rain and drizzle out west. But it is less
:31:59. > :32:04.chilly, vertically down to the south, ten or 11 degrees. If you are
:32:05. > :32:07.out and about on Saturday night, a lot of cloud, missed and murk. It is
:32:08. > :32:13.because of high pressure and what this high-pressure is, it means
:32:14. > :32:16.light winds. It is stagnant air, so nothing much that will break the
:32:17. > :32:20.cloud up during Sunday. The grey day for the most part. The best of the
:32:21. > :32:25.brightness across north-eastern Scotland. Patchy rain in the West.
:32:26. > :32:30.The mildest weather in the West as well. Chilly further east, but not
:32:31. > :32:34.as chilly as it has been and certainly not as chilly as it will
:32:35. > :32:38.be across Eastern Europe. -25 in Moscow on Sunday afternoon. The cold
:32:39. > :32:42.air has spread all the way southwards across the eastern side
:32:43. > :32:47.of Europe. The cold weather causing one or two problems. Back home, and
:32:48. > :32:52.the change next week. Wet weather sinking southwards, windy weather in
:32:53. > :32:56.the north and that leads us into what will be a much more changeable
:32:57. > :33:00.week as we go to next week. So some changes on the way, certainly for
:33:01. > :33:01.the weekend. We say goodbye to the frost and say hello to a lot of
:33:02. > :33:04.cloud. A reminder of our main
:33:05. > :33:06.story this lunchtime: Donald Trump is preparing to meet
:33:07. > :33:09.intelligence chiefs over claims Russia interfered
:33:10. > :33:11.in the presidential election. So it's goodbye from me
:33:12. > :33:18.and on BBC One we now join the BBC's
