Head-to-head - Donald Trump is to meet US intelligence chiefs | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
in the row over their claims of Russian hacking. | :00:07. | :00:10. | |
They insist they've evidence the Kremlin interfered | :00:11. | :00:12. | |
with the presidential election - claims Mr Trump has challenged. | :00:13. | :00:17. | |
His use of social media to engage in the row have | :00:18. | :00:20. | |
prompted the outgoing Vice President Joe Biden to tell | :00:21. | :00:24. | |
Also this lunchtime: Hundreds of people attend the funeral | :00:25. | :00:29. | |
in Huddersfield of the man shot dead by West Yorkshire Police on Monday. | :00:30. | :00:33. | |

round, when they visit West Ham this evening. | :01:05. | :01:26. | |
Good afternoon and welcome to the BBC News at One. | :01:27. | :01:29. | |
Donald Trump will meet with the heads of the US | :01:30. | :01:32. | |
intelligence services later today, over claims that Russia | :01:33. | :01:35. | |
interfered in the American presidential election. | :01:36. | :01:39. | |
The heads of the CIA, FBI and National Intelligence | :01:40. | :01:43. | |
all insist the Kremlin ordered a cyber attack to help | :01:44. | :01:45. | |
But the President-elect has made his doubts very public, | :01:46. | :01:49. | |
in a series of comments on social media. | :01:50. | :01:52. | |
Last night, the outgoing Vice-President, Joe Biden, | :01:53. | :01:55. | |
told the President-elect to "grow up", saying it was "absolutely | :01:56. | :01:58. | |
mindless" not to have faith in intelligence agencies. | :01:59. | :02:04. | |
US intelligence is convinced Russia tried to influence the American | :02:05. | :02:09. | |
election by hacking Democratic party e-mails. | :02:10. | :02:14. | |
President-elect Donald Trump has not only dismissed that, but | :02:15. | :02:17. | |
set himself on a collision course with the intelligence agencies. | :02:18. | :02:21. | |
Their determination to show that they're | :02:22. | :02:23. | |
right was made clear at a congressional committee hearing. | :02:24. | :02:26. | |
The hacking was only one part of it and | :02:27. | :02:30. | |
it also entailed classical propaganda, disinformation, fake | :02:31. | :02:36. | |
The claim is that a hack designed to help Donald Trump win | :02:37. | :02:46. | |
was authorised at the very highest level in Russia. | :02:47. | :02:48. | |
Something he has rubbished from the start. | :02:49. | :02:50. | |
Once they hack, if you don't catch them in the act, you are | :02:51. | :03:00. | |
not going to catch them, they have no idea if it is Russia, | :03:01. | :03:03. | |
It could be somebody sitting in a bed someplace. | :03:04. | :03:07. | |
Earlier this week, he appeared to support | :03:08. | :03:08. | |
comments made by Julian Assange, the founder of Wikileaks, | :03:09. | :03:11. | |
who has denied Russia was involved in any hack. | :03:12. | :03:15. | |
Later he wrote on his Twitter feed, the media lies to make it look like | :03:16. | :03:18. | |
I am against intelligence, when in fact, I am a big fan. | :03:19. | :03:26. | |
But then in another tweet, he has again | :03:27. | :03:28. | |
So how and why are they so sure about | :03:29. | :03:31. | |
hacking, he wrote, if they never even | :03:32. | :03:32. | |
requested an examination of the | :03:33. | :03:34. | |
Today, some of the most senior figures in US intelligence will | :03:35. | :03:38. | |
I am hoping he is going to be respectful | :03:39. | :03:42. | |
Respectful of the agency as well as the rest of the | :03:43. | :03:47. | |
intelligence community and looking forward to a rather robust, if not | :03:48. | :03:50. | |
And there has been blunt criticism of Mr | :03:51. | :03:59. | |
Trump's approach from his political foes. | :04:00. | :04:02. | |
For a president not to have confidence in, not to be prepared to | :04:03. | :04:09. | |
listen to the myriad of intelligence agencies, | :04:10. | :04:16. | |
from defence intelligence, the CIA etc, is absolutely mindless. | :04:17. | :04:23. | |
An unclassified version of the intelligence findings is to be | :04:24. | :04:25. | |
Whatever the American public makes of that information, | :04:26. | :04:30. | |
the relationship between the President-elect | :04:31. | :04:31. | |
and the intelligence community is already strained. | :04:32. | :04:32. | |
In a moment we will speak to our security correspondent, Llera, | :04:33. | :04:50. | |
Gordon Corera, but first, Aleem Maqbool in Washington. These are | :04:51. | :04:56. | |
very strong words from Joe Biden. Yes, we heard about a collision | :04:57. | :05:01. | |
course with the intelligence services in America but also a | :05:02. | :05:03. | |
collision course between Donald Trump and members of his own party, | :05:04. | :05:07. | |
who want something done about this, but strong words from Joe Biden, who | :05:08. | :05:12. | |
also said the way Donald Trump was behaving was almost like saying that | :05:13. | :05:16. | |
he knew more about physics than his professor, even though he hadn't | :05:17. | :05:19. | |
read the book, he just knew that he knew more. There is a sense of that | :05:20. | :05:23. | |
from a lot of frustrated people within the intelligence services. | :05:24. | :05:27. | |
We've now got this situation today, where we have the national director | :05:28. | :05:30. | |
of intelligence, the head of the CIA, and the head of the FBI, who | :05:31. | :05:34. | |
will sit down with him and explained that they now know some of the | :05:35. | :05:38. | |
motivation behind the Russian hack, where it was directed from. We also | :05:39. | :05:44. | |
hear that they know who then passed on intelligence to WikiLeaks, which | :05:45. | :05:46. | |
is where we all got to know about something of what was hacked. But | :05:47. | :05:52. | |
there are those within Donald Trump's party who say, if this is | :05:53. | :05:55. | |
all true and they believe that it is true, then there have to be | :05:56. | :05:59. | |
sanctions against Russia, there have to be ways in which Russia pays and | :06:00. | :06:04. | |
so far, Donald Trump has not only shown that he is casting doubt on | :06:05. | :06:08. | |
the intelligence which has already been made public, but he's also | :06:09. | :06:14. | |
shown that he is a huge admirer of Donald Trump, so lots of collisions | :06:15. | :06:21. | |
and arguments set to be surrounding this particular issue in the coming | :06:22. | :06:26. | |
weeks. Let's pick up, lots of questions raised there but looking | :06:27. | :06:30. | |
at this relationship between a soon-to-be president and his | :06:31. | :06:33. | |
intelligence services, this appears to be unprecedented. There have been | :06:34. | :06:36. | |
fallings out between the intelligence community of presidents | :06:37. | :06:40. | |
in the past, but I think we've never seen it on Twitter, we've never seen | :06:41. | :06:46. | |
this kind of public disparaging of intelligence by a President-elect. | :06:47. | :06:50. | |
Ever come before. I think in that briefing room, what's colliding two | :06:51. | :06:54. | |
things, really. The credibility of US intelligence, which has been | :06:55. | :06:58. | |
called into question by Donald Trump, and the legitimacy of Donald | :06:59. | :07:01. | |
Trump's own election, which has been called into question by the | :07:02. | :07:05. | |
intelligence community saying Moscow and the Kremlin supported him. Those | :07:06. | :07:08. | |
ideas are going to collide in that briefing room for the first time | :07:09. | :07:12. | |
Donald Trump is going to have to engage with the facts as they are | :07:13. | :07:16. | |
presented. Does he believe them, does he not? How does he talk about | :07:17. | :07:20. | |
them on Twitter afterwards? Everyone below -- everyone will be watching | :07:21. | :07:25. | |
that closely. The risk is for both of them that they both come out | :07:26. | :07:28. | |
damaged, the intelligence community and Donald Trump, by this struggle | :07:29. | :07:31. | |
and to this clash which is going on at the moment Corera, thank you. | :07:32. | :07:37. | |
Hundreds of people have attended the funeral in Huddersfield | :07:38. | :07:39. | |
of the man shot dead by West Yorkshire Police on Monday. | :07:40. | :07:42. | |
The inquest into the death of Yassar Yaqub was opened | :07:43. | :07:44. | |
Let's go live to our correspondent, Danny Savage, | :07:45. | :07:47. | |
It's been a very busy morning in connection with the incidents here | :07:48. | :07:56. | |
on Monday night, when Yassar Yaqub was shot dead by police officers as | :07:57. | :08:01. | |
he came in his car down a slip road off the M62. His funeral has taken | :08:02. | :08:04. | |
place at this mosque a few hours ago. People are now gathering for | :08:05. | :08:09. | |
Friday prayers, but we've also had a man in court in connection with case | :08:10. | :08:14. | |
and the inquest has been opened into the death of the man who was killed. | :08:15. | :08:18. | |
Hundreds of people came to Yassar Yaqub's funeral at a mosque | :08:19. | :08:21. | |
Many didn't know him personally, but were here to support his family. | :08:22. | :08:26. | |
His father, mother and sisters were deeply distressed. | :08:27. | :08:35. | |
The consistent thought from those present, is that they want answers | :08:36. | :08:38. | |
as to why he was shot by police on Monday night. | :08:39. | :08:43. | |
The parents have lost their son, those sisters | :08:44. | :08:46. | |
His friends, family, they all need answers and I think | :08:47. | :08:52. | |
We are hoping that within this week we should have a proper | :08:53. | :08:57. | |
Do you think that may calm tensions if you get the facts? | :08:58. | :09:03. | |
Definitely, we have a proper investigation and a justifiable | :09:04. | :09:07. | |
One key question about the shooting was answered today. | :09:08. | :09:13. | |
The police have already said a gun was found in the white | :09:14. | :09:16. | |
We know he was the front seat passenger in the car. | :09:17. | :09:22. | |
At the inquest into his death this morning, it was revealed the gun | :09:23. | :09:28. | |
was found in the front passenger foot well of the vehicle, | :09:29. | :09:31. | |
The inquest was told Yassar Yaqub was shot by a police officer | :09:32. | :09:39. | |
He was listed in court as being a 28-year-old office clerk, | :09:40. | :09:45. | |
but many people in Huddersfield believed he was a | :09:46. | :09:47. | |
He was, in 2010, accused and cleared of trying to murder two people | :09:48. | :09:51. | |
His family stress he was never convicted of anything. | :09:52. | :09:57. | |
Meanwhile, a 30-year-old man arrested at the time, | :09:58. | :10:02. | |
appeared before magistrates in Leeds. | :10:03. | :10:07. | |
Moshin Amin is charged with firearms offences, | :10:08. | :10:09. | |
including possessing a pistol and silencer. | :10:10. | :10:10. | |
The court case involving him will go forward with further hearings in the | :10:11. | :10:22. | |
future. The inquest was adjourned until the end of March. The coroner | :10:23. | :10:27. | |
has asked for the Independent police plays commission, who are overseeing | :10:28. | :10:30. | |
this investigation, to keep him up to date with what is going on, so | :10:31. | :10:34. | |
more information will come out and bits and pieces of information are | :10:35. | :10:38. | |
coming out over the exact events here on Monday evening. A clearer | :10:39. | :10:40. | |
picture is becoming apparent. Nicola Sturgeon has suggested | :10:41. | :10:47. | |
a so-called "soft Brexit" could postpone another vote | :10:48. | :10:49. | |
on Scottish independence. Scotland's First Minister | :10:50. | :10:51. | |
was speaking on the BBC's She said she believed Scotland's | :10:52. | :10:53. | |
"direction of travel" was still towards independence, | :10:54. | :10:56. | |
but that could be "put Let's speak to our Scotland | :10:57. | :10:59. | |
correspondent, Glenn Campbell. What should we read | :11:00. | :11:04. | |
into this exactly? Nicola Sturgeon is opposed to | :11:05. | :11:17. | |
Brexit, but the position that she's developed is that she's prepared to | :11:18. | :11:21. | |
compromise. In other words, that she is prepared to accept Brexit in | :11:22. | :11:25. | |
certain circumstances, in December she set out what compromise she | :11:26. | :11:30. | |
would be prepared to accept, effectively if the UK as a whole was | :11:31. | :11:35. | |
to stay in the European single market, or to argue for a special | :11:36. | :11:39. | |
arrangement that would allow Scotland to stay in, then she would | :11:40. | :11:44. | |
be prepared to take off the table the possibility of a second vote on | :11:45. | :11:49. | |
Scottish independence for the period of the Brexit negotiations. | :11:50. | :11:53. | |
England and Wales voted to leave, Northern Ireland voted to stay. | :11:54. | :11:55. | |
And even in Scotland, which voted overwhelmingly | :11:56. | :11:57. | |
to remain in the EU, a million people voted to leave. | :11:58. | :12:00. | |
What I am trying to do is to see whether, with compromise and a focus | :12:01. | :12:03. | |
on building consensus, there is a proposition the maximum | :12:04. | :12:15. | |
She has put together a paper exploring these options. That's been | :12:16. | :12:22. | |
sent to the UK Government and Ms Sturgeon is effectively saying that | :12:23. | :12:24. | |
the ball is now in Theresa May's court. If she doesn't want there to | :12:25. | :12:29. | |
be a call from the Scottish Government for a second vote on | :12:30. | :12:32. | |
independence, she wants Theresa May to move on this agenda, otherwise | :12:33. | :12:39. | |
she says that she will push for the question of Scottish independence to | :12:40. | :12:42. | |
be revisited. Some of her opponents think siege is -- she is making | :12:43. | :12:47. | |
demands that she knows will be rejected to strengthen her argument | :12:48. | :12:50. | |
for independence. Nicola Sturgeon insists she is genuinely trying to | :12:51. | :12:55. | |
achieve consensus around a compromise. | :12:56. | :12:56. | |
Glenn, thank you. We've often reported on the problems | :12:57. | :12:59. | |
of bed blocking in hospitals - But new research indicates the issue | :13:00. | :13:02. | |
is even worse in mental The research found that in trusts | :13:03. | :13:05. | |
that specialise in mental health and learning disabilities, | :13:06. | :13:09. | |
the rise in the number of delayed discharges is double | :13:10. | :13:11. | |
that of acute hospitals. Our social affairs correspondent, | :13:12. | :13:13. | |
Michael Buchanan, has the details. Oliver Lang helps his father run | :13:14. | :13:22. | |
a small post office in Norfolk. In 2014, the 27-year-old | :13:23. | :13:25. | |
was detained under He spent several weeks | :13:26. | :13:27. | |
in a psychiatric unit, but even when he was well enough | :13:28. | :13:32. | |
to leave, he couldn't. Delays in arranging support | :13:33. | :13:35. | |
in the community meant he spent a further two months | :13:36. | :13:38. | |
unnecessarily in hospital. I felt like I was in danger | :13:39. | :13:42. | |
in there, because a lot There, I felt like if | :13:43. | :13:45. | |
someone attacks me, I'd But if I did defend myself, and hurt | :13:46. | :13:49. | |
someone, they'd say he is a danger, so that'd keep me locked | :13:50. | :13:55. | |
up for longer. I was trying to be | :13:56. | :13:56. | |
whiter than white. More than 200,000 bed days were lost | :13:57. | :14:09. | |
by the NHS in England last October. Physical health trusts saw a 30% | :14:10. | :14:14. | |
rise in the previous 12 months. But for mental health and learning | :14:15. | :14:18. | |
disability trusts, the increase was 56%. This former care Minister says | :14:19. | :14:24. | |
the figures show once more the crisis in mental health care. | :14:25. | :14:29. | |
It means there's a shortage of community psychiatric nurses, | :14:30. | :14:31. | |
a shortage of support services, like detox facilities, | :14:32. | :14:33. | |
and a shortage in social care, which I think has hit people | :14:34. | :14:36. | |
with mental ill health disproportionately hard. | :14:37. | :14:42. | |
The pressure on mental health services is intense and growing. | :14:43. | :14:47. | |
Last year in London for instance, four mental health trusts said their | :14:48. | :14:52. | |
bed occupancy levels were 100%, that means that every single bed they had | :14:53. | :14:57. | |
was full every single day of the year. Problems in the mental health | :14:58. | :15:09. | |
centre damar created throughout. If people can't leave it's hard to | :15:10. | :15:12. | |
admit other people so we have people in crisis who need a bed and we have | :15:13. | :15:17. | |
people scouring the country sometimes to find a bed we can admit | :15:18. | :15:21. | |
them to. Ministers say they are aware of the problems and will spend | :15:22. | :15:25. | |
?400 million in this Parliament ensuring psychiatric patients can be | :15:26. | :15:29. | |
treated at home. Michael Buchanan, BBC News. | :15:30. | :15:34. | |
Russia says it is reducing its military presence in Syria. Ahead of | :15:35. | :15:42. | |
Russia's Armed Forces said the defeat of rebel forces in Aleppo in | :15:43. | :15:46. | |
the current ceasefire meant its mission had been fulfilled. Let's | :15:47. | :15:52. | |
speak to our correspondent in Beirut, Alex Forsyth. What is the | :15:53. | :15:58. | |
significance of the announcement? Russian military forces have played | :15:59. | :16:02. | |
a key role in the Syrian war since 2015, providing support to the | :16:03. | :16:06. | |
Syrian regime with heavy air strikes in rebel held areas. So much so | :16:07. | :16:11. | |
Moscow is credited with helping turn the tide with its ally Bashar | :16:12. | :16:19. | |
al-Assad. But at the end of December, Vladimir Putin announced a | :16:20. | :16:22. | |
partial pull-out of its forces in light of the ceasefire Russia helped | :16:23. | :16:27. | |
to broker, and which despite some violations and ongoing violence, is | :16:28. | :16:30. | |
largely holding. Today the Russian Foreign Ministry said its aircraft | :16:31. | :16:36. | |
carrier and smaller warships which are based in the Mediterranean would | :16:37. | :16:42. | |
be the first to leave. Russia will retain a significant military | :16:43. | :16:47. | |
presence in Syria, but for some they think this is Russia seeing it | :16:48. | :16:53. | |
entering into a different phase with the retaking of Aleppo and peace | :16:54. | :16:57. | |
talks later this month. But this isn't the first time Russia has | :16:58. | :17:02. | |
announced a withdrawal from Syria. It did so in March last year, only | :17:03. | :17:06. | |
to ramp up its presence when the fighting continued. Alex, thank you. | :17:07. | :17:10. | |

An iceberg a quarter of the size of Wales is close to breaking away | :17:37. | :17:49. | |
If and when it happens, it would be one of the 10 | :17:50. | :17:54. | |
Scientists have been monitoring the break-up for months. | :17:55. | :17:58. | |
And even though the crack in the ice shelf has got | :17:59. | :18:01. | |
significantly worse in December, they're not blaming it | :18:02. | :18:04. | |
on climate change, but calling it a "natural event". | :18:05. | :18:07. | |
Here's our cnvironment correspondent, Matt McGrath. | :18:08. | :18:14. | |
Stretching for around 100 miles, the rift in the ice shelf has grown rich | :18:15. | :18:24. | |
rapidly in weeks. 12 miles of frozen material is keeping this iceberg | :18:25. | :18:28. | |
from drifting into the sea. Collapsing ice shelves are not | :18:29. | :18:30. | |
uncommon in Antarctica, as these pictures show these fragmentation is | :18:31. | :18:35. | |
can affect the landscape, creating icebergs of all shapes and sizes. | :18:36. | :18:40. | |
British researchers who have been monitoring the crack, have | :18:41. | :18:42. | |
discovered the dramatic expansion in the rift that has taken place in | :18:43. | :18:47. | |
just two weeks in December. What we have found, the rift that has been | :18:48. | :18:55. | |
in this ice shelf for a number of years has broken through another 18 | :18:56. | :18:57. | |
kilometres and is now at risk of giving birth to an iceberg the | :18:58. | :19:00. | |
quarter of the size of Wales. It is a very large iceberg that will go | :19:01. | :19:03. | |
out into the open ocean but the remaining ice shelf, we believe, | :19:04. | :19:09. | |
will be less stable. When large icebergs break off the edge of an | :19:10. | :19:13. | |
ice shelf like the one in 2002, it can have a dramatic affect on the | :19:14. | :19:18. | |
stability of the structure. Most of the remaining shelf disintegrated in | :19:19. | :19:23. | |
less than a month. Experts at the British Antarctic survey are worried | :19:24. | :19:28. | |
any new iceberg formation could have long-term consequences. When the ice | :19:29. | :19:32. | |
shelf loses this ice, it might start to collapse. If that were to occur, | :19:33. | :19:38. | |
then the glaciers that feed the ice shelf could flow faster and | :19:39. | :19:41. | |
contribute more to sea-level rise over the next few decades. The new | :19:42. | :19:48. | |
icebergs will be one of the biggest recorded, around 50 times the size | :19:49. | :19:52. | |
of Manhattan Island. But despite the concerns of global warming, | :19:53. | :19:56. | |
researchers said they have no evidence that climate change is | :19:57. | :20:00. | |
playing any significant role in the new iceberg's formation. | :20:01. | :20:02. | |
Four people have been charged with hate crimes in connection | :20:03. | :20:05. | |
with the assault on a teenager with special needs, | :20:06. | :20:07. | |
The two men and two women are due to appear in court | :20:08. | :20:11. | |
These are the faces of the suspects charged over the kidnap and torture | :20:12. | :20:19. | |
Over a 48-hour period, there was a prolonged | :20:20. | :20:27. | |
attack on the victim, who has mental health challenges. | :20:28. | :20:32. | |
And it was broadcast live on the social media site, Facebook. | :20:33. | :20:35. | |
The four suspects have been charged with aggravated kidnapping | :20:36. | :20:38. | |
We have the statements of the four, they admit they were beating him, | :20:39. | :20:47. | |
kicking him, they made him drink toilet water. | :20:48. | :20:50. | |
And then obviously, the video where they are cutting | :20:51. | :20:53. | |
The victim finally escaped from a flat in Chicago and his | :20:54. | :21:02. | |
The victim finally escaped from a flat in Chicago when his | :21:03. | :21:05. | |
His brother-in-law said his family was just pleased he will say. | :21:06. | :21:08. | |
We are so grateful for all the prayers and efforts that led | :21:09. | :21:11. | |
We are fully aware of the charges being brought against the offenders. | :21:12. | :21:16. | |
At this time, we asked for continued prayers for all those involved, | :21:17. | :21:22. | |
for our family's privacy as we cope and heal. | :21:23. | :21:27. | |
In the video, the attackers could be heard making racist comments. | :21:28. | :21:31. | |
President Obama said it highlighted problems that have | :21:32. | :21:34. | |
Part of what technology allows us to see now is the terrible toll that | :21:35. | :21:43. | |
racism and discrimination and hate takes on families and communities. | :21:44. | :21:52. | |
The outgoing president went on to say the attack in Chicago | :21:53. | :21:55. | |
But he remained optimistic about the long-term state of race | :21:56. | :22:01. | |
The winter months often see an increase in cases | :22:02. | :22:07. | |
of anxiety and depression, with the short days and financial | :22:08. | :22:11. | |
One solution is an internet-based therapy that involves | :22:12. | :22:18. | |
chatting to someone and getting advice online. | :22:19. | :22:23. | |
Graham Satchell has been to meet one man who's benefited from it. | :22:24. | :22:26. | |
Not a time of year that I enjoy at all. | :22:27. | :22:32. | |
When I'm expected to be happy, I'm supposed to be, | :22:33. | :22:34. | |
Christmas and New Year are difficult times for Nick. | :22:35. | :22:38. | |
He's lived with anxiety and depression for many years. | :22:39. | :22:42. | |
Have been since I found out it was happening. | :22:43. | :22:48. | |
My natural instinct is to worry about everything. | :22:49. | :22:54. | |
I'm constantly thinking and analysing everything | :22:55. | :22:57. | |
I struggle to make decisions, some of them really simple decisions. | :22:58. | :23:02. | |
What I'm going to have for supper, for example. | :23:03. | :23:04. | |
I can spend an awful long time in the supermarket just trying | :23:05. | :23:07. | |
She offered him a series of online therapy sessions. | :23:08. | :23:17. | |
It's a typed conversation with a trained therapist | :23:18. | :23:19. | |
You write something, how you're feeling, | :23:20. | :23:27. | |
what you're thinking, and there's a pause while the other | :23:28. | :23:31. | |
person, your therapist, is waiting to respond. | :23:32. | :23:34. | |
And just writing something down, which I'd never done before | :23:35. | :23:38. | |
and I was scared to do it, I found it was a safe | :23:39. | :23:41. | |
It had quite a profound effect actually for me personally. | :23:42. | :23:46. | |
Online therapy on the NHS is normally delivered | :23:47. | :23:48. | |
by private companies, like Ieso Digital Health. | :23:49. | :23:50. | |
Critics say it's just a cheap way of providing a service that | :23:51. | :23:53. | |
But the therapists who do it say the success rate is the same, | :23:54. | :23:59. | |
When you put a computer between an experienced | :24:00. | :24:05. | |
therapist and patient, all sorts of things can happen. | :24:06. | :24:10. | |
Usually, in my experience, those problem statements, | :24:11. | :24:12. | |
the first thing they say to their therapists, | :24:13. | :24:17. | |
But here we see it occurring right there in the first session. | :24:18. | :24:24. | |
And that's really important, because once you know | :24:25. | :24:26. | |
what the problem is, you can start the treatment. | :24:27. | :24:29. | |
Talking to a therapist online won't work for everyone, | :24:30. | :24:31. | |
I was really struggling to cope with what I was thinking, | :24:32. | :24:39. | |
Nick Martin speaking to our correspondent Graham Satchell. | :24:40. | :24:50. | |
Now, it's famous throughout the world for using the sun to mark | :24:51. | :24:53. | |
But now it seems Stonehenge may also have had its own, distinct, sound. | :24:54. | :24:58. | |
Scientists at the site have used virtual reality technology | :24:59. | :25:02. | |
to recreate what the henge would have looked like, | :25:03. | :25:04. | |
thousands of years ago, when it was complete. | :25:05. | :25:08. | |
And they've used ancient musical instruments to recreate | :25:09. | :25:11. | |
Our correspondent, David Sillito, went along for a listen. | :25:12. | :25:19. | |
People have been coming here for at least 4000-5000 | :25:20. | :25:31. | |
years, so we're walking in the feet of history. | :25:32. | :25:35. | |
When the wind blows, some people say they hear a strange hum. | :25:36. | :25:39. | |
Thomas Hardy wrote about it in Tess Of The d'Urbervilles, | :25:40. | :25:43. | |
and Dr Rupert Till is convinced the sound of Stonehenge | :25:44. | :25:46. | |
You hear between each beat, a little echo. | :25:47. | :25:58. | |
As the sound leaves you, hits the stone and comes | :25:59. | :26:01. | |
The problem is this is just a fragment of the sound people | :26:02. | :26:13. | |
I met the site's historian, Susan Greening. | :26:14. | :26:17. | |
So, this is the front door of Stonehenge we're | :26:18. | :26:19. | |
That's right, yes, and we are coming into the central space now. | :26:20. | :26:24. | |
It does change a bit as you walk through, doesn't it? | :26:25. | :26:26. | |
It does, you have the feeling of being enclosed within a space. | :26:27. | :26:29. | |
And that's with many of the stones having gone? | :26:30. | :26:31. | |
What we're looking at today is the ruin of Stonehenge. | :26:32. | :26:34. | |
Many stones have been taken away from the site, | :26:35. | :26:36. | |
many have fallen down, lots have been eroded, | :26:37. | :26:38. | |
It would've been a completely different atmosphere | :26:39. | :26:41. | |
What this new technology offers is a possibility, a chance to, well, | :26:42. | :26:58. | |
return back and see and also hear what this place used | :26:59. | :27:02. | |
We have constructed it by rebuilding Stonehenge digitally and used | :27:03. | :27:14. | |
software to reconstruct the acoustics of the space | :27:15. | :27:18. | |
as it would have been when all of the stones were here. | :27:19. | :27:21. | |
So, how different is the old sound to the sound we have today? | :27:22. | :27:26. | |
Well, if I tap it strong now, you will hear a little bit of an echo. | :27:27. | :27:34. | |
Well, if I tap this drum now, you will hear | :27:35. | :27:36. | |
When all of the stones are put in place, there is a much more | :27:37. | :27:42. | |
powerful sense of enclosure, a slight reverberation, | :27:43. | :27:46. | |
more echo, and it changes more as you walk around. | :27:47. | :27:50. | |
So today it's just a ruin beside a city road. | :27:51. | :27:52. | |
This, a chance to say goodbye to the 21st century and experience | :27:53. | :27:55. | |
Finally, wanted to be the best friend. Also, must be an elephant. | :27:56. | :28:14. | |
This is the only elephant to be kept in Scottish safari park but she lost | :28:15. | :28:18. | |
her companion last year. So the safari park near Stirling has put | :28:19. | :28:24. | |
out a lonely hearts ad to the zoos of Europe. Lorna Gordon is there. | :28:25. | :28:31. | |
Yes, it has been a lonely existence. She is an animal with a very big | :28:32. | :28:39. | |
heart, but she has been on her own since her companion of almost 20 | :28:40. | :28:43. | |
years died last year. With me is the elephant keeper, how has she been | :28:44. | :28:50. | |
coping? When at first her companion died, she was upset. She had been | :28:51. | :28:54. | |
with her for 20 years. But we're lucky, she has a strong character, | :28:55. | :29:00. | |
she is independent and confident and active. It has been easy to keep her | :29:01. | :29:05. | |
busy. And a lot of interaction with the keepers? Yes, we have upped her | :29:06. | :29:11. | |
training sessions to give her more interaction and we have done more | :29:12. | :29:14. | |
enrichment, keeping it varied and different every day. What are you | :29:15. | :29:21. | |
looking for now? Looking for a friend, an African elephant, going | :29:22. | :29:25. | |
to need to be female and about the same age. She is 45 years old now. | :29:26. | :29:34. | |
Also will have to take her character into account, she is quite dominant | :29:35. | :29:38. | |
so we need someone who will fit in with her quite well. Are there any | :29:39. | :29:44. | |
other elephants who fit this in UK? No, we're having to look further | :29:45. | :29:48. | |
afield but we are confident we will find someone. We want to take our | :29:49. | :29:52. | |
time so it is done properly and will be the best the long-term. | :29:53. | :29:56. | |
Eventually you would like her to be joined by more than just one? Yes, | :29:57. | :30:02. | |
we have a very good facility, we are set up to be a retirement home for | :30:03. | :30:07. | |
elderly elephant. Thank you for that, she does seem in fine Vettel, | :30:08. | :30:12. | |
on her own for the last nine months, but hopefully not for much longer. | :30:13. | :30:15. | |
We are bringing in changes as we head into the weekend. Goodbye to | :30:16. | :30:28. | |
the frost. We have had frosty scenes in eastern parts of the country. | :30:29. | :30:32. | |
Hertfordshire is down below freezing but there is some sunshine as well. | :30:33. | :30:36. | |
We're waving goodbye to the frost but also the sunshine. This was in | :30:37. | :30:41. | |
southern Scotland this morning. Temperatures above freezing. But | :30:42. | :30:46. | |
sets us up for the weekend. It will be less chilly but more cloud | :30:47. | :30:49. | |
around. The cloud has been spreading in from the West on the satellite | :30:50. | :30:53. | |
picture. But tied in with this lump of cloud, we have some mild air. | :30:54. | :31:02. | |
That is giving us a misty and murky conditions. 11 degrees in Belfast, | :31:03. | :31:06. | |
eight or nine in Glasgow and brighter glances across northern | :31:07. | :31:12. | |
Scotland, but since that -- southern Scotland into northern England, rain | :31:13. | :31:18. | |
especially of a. As the rain initially arrives across the | :31:19. | :31:22. | |
Midlands, only four Celsius in Birmingham. Maybe the odd glimmer of | :31:23. | :31:25. | |
brightness for a time across the south-east. This evening and | :31:26. | :31:29. | |
tonight, the rain will work its way southwards and eastwards and all | :31:30. | :31:34. | |
others will see some rain. Behind it we have cloud, missed and murk, but | :31:35. | :31:36. | |
look at these temperatures. These are the overnight lows. Frost free. | :31:37. | :31:47. | |
Scotland will see the brightest of the weather tomorrow particularly | :31:48. | :31:51. | |
towards the north and the East. Elsewhere, a lot of cloud, missed | :31:52. | :31:55. | |
and murk, spots of light rain and drizzle out west. But it is less | :31:56. | :31:58. | |
chilly, vertically down to the south, ten or 11 degrees. If you are | :31:59. | :32:04. | |
out and about on Saturday night, a lot of cloud, missed and murk. It is | :32:05. | :32:07. | |
because of high pressure and what this high-pressure is, it means | :32:08. | :32:13. | |
light winds. It is stagnant air, so nothing much that will break the | :32:14. | :32:16. | |
cloud up during Sunday. The grey day for the most part. The best of the | :32:17. | :32:20. | |
brightness across north-eastern Scotland. Patchy rain in the West. | :32:21. | :32:25. | |
The mildest weather in the West as well. Chilly further east, but not | :32:26. | :32:30. | |
as chilly as it has been and certainly not as chilly as it will | :32:31. | :32:34. | |
be across Eastern Europe. -25 in Moscow on Sunday afternoon. The cold | :32:35. | :32:38. | |
air has spread all the way southwards across the eastern side | :32:39. | :32:42. | |
of Europe. The cold weather causing one or two problems. Back home, and | :32:43. | :32:47. | |
the change next week. Wet weather sinking southwards, windy weather in | :32:48. | :32:52. | |
the north and that leads us into what will be a much more changeable | :32:53. | :32:56. | |
week as we go to next week. So some changes on the way, certainly for | :32:57. | :33:00. | |
the weekend. We say goodbye to the frost and say hello to a lot of | :33:01. | :33:01. | |
cloud. A reminder of our main | :33:02. | :33:04. | |
story this lunchtime: Donald Trump is preparing to meet | :33:05. | :33:06. | |
intelligence chiefs over claims Russia interfered | :33:07. | :33:09. | |
in the presidential election. So it's goodbye from me | :33:10. | :33:11. | |
and on BBC One we now join the BBC's | :33:12. | :33:18. |
