Pressure on the White House - with calls for an investigation | :00:00. | :00:07. | |
into the Trump administration's links with Russia. | :00:08. | :00:10. | |
After his National Security Adviser quits, Donald Trump is urged | :00:11. | :00:12. | |
to think again his policy on President Putin. | :00:13. | :00:20. | |
I think eventually, the Trump administration is going to have to | :00:21. | :00:29. | |
adapt its approach to Russia as a result. | :00:30. | :00:31. | |
As President Trump meets Israel's Prime Minister, | :00:32. | :00:33. | |

Enrique, describes their 4-0 Champions League thrashing as a | :01:16. | :01:18. | |
disastrous night, with PSG heading to the quarterfinals. | :01:19. | :01:32. | |
Good afternoon, and welcome to the BBC News at One. | :01:33. | :01:35. | |
This time yesterday, it looked like a bit of a hiccup | :01:36. | :01:37. | |
Today, the events surrounding the resignation of his | :01:38. | :01:41. | |
National Security Adviser are looking more like a real | :01:42. | :01:43. | |
political crisis, with questions about what the President himself | :01:44. | :01:45. | |
There are calls for a formal investigation after claims | :01:46. | :01:51. | |
that the Trump team were in contact with Russian intelligence officers | :01:52. | :01:55. | |
President Trump has hit back tweeting THIS in the last half hour, | :01:56. | :02:02. | |
effectively accusing the intelligence | :02:03. | :02:04. | |
All this as he welcomes the Israeli Prime Minister, | :02:05. | :02:08. | |
Benjamin Netanyahu, to Washington, with one White House official saying | :02:09. | :02:11. | |
a peace deal between Israel and the Palestinians may NOT come | :02:12. | :02:14. | |
If Donald Trump thought that by accepting the | :02:15. | :02:30. | |
If Donald Trump thought that by accepting the resignation | :02:31. | :02:32. | |
he might have neatly wrapped up the first big crisis | :02:33. | :02:36. | |
of his presidency, he'll be frustrated to hear the growing | :02:37. | :02:38. | |
clamour from leading Democrats and some Republicans for a much | :02:39. | :02:40. | |
wider investigation into the former national security | :02:41. | :02:42. | |
Several experienced and respected figures in Washington have expressed | :02:43. | :02:46. | |
concern that someone who was so close to the president | :02:47. | :02:51. | |
had several detailed discussions with senior Russian officials | :02:52. | :02:55. | |
about sensitive areas of American policy even before | :02:56. | :02:57. | |
Given what has happened to General Flynn, | :02:58. | :03:06. | |
there are probably going to be further investigations that | :03:07. | :03:09. | |
will undoubtedly include Russia's role in the 2016 campaign. | :03:10. | :03:14. | |
I think eventually the Trump administration is going to have | :03:15. | :03:16. | |
to adapt its approach to Russia as a result. | :03:17. | :03:21. | |
Mr Trump and his senior officials insist that Mr Flynn's resignation | :03:22. | :03:24. | |
was due to a breakdown of trust between him and the president, | :03:25. | :03:28. | |
rather than anything illegal or an indication | :03:29. | :03:31. | |
that the administration had badly mishandled the affair. | :03:32. | :03:35. | |
Indeed in his customary tweets, the president bemoaned | :03:36. | :03:38. | |
what he called the fake media's conspiracy theories and went | :03:39. | :03:40. | |
so far as to accuse the intelligence services | :03:41. | :03:43. | |
The press is going to continue write about it and people | :03:44. | :03:55. | |
to leak them just about every morsel of information they can find. | :03:56. | :03:59. | |
The Trump administration is leaking like a sinking ship. | :04:00. | :04:01. | |
But those tricky foreign policy issues come thick and fast. | :04:02. | :04:05. | |
After what could only be diplomatically described | :04:06. | :04:08. | |
as the difficult relationship between Israeli leaders | :04:09. | :04:11. | |
and Barack Obama, Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu | :04:12. | :04:14. | |
is meeting Mr Trump in Washington today, and Israeli leaders | :04:15. | :04:16. | |
are expecting great things from the new administration. | :04:17. | :04:23. | |
Reports attributed to a White House official said a two-state solution, | :04:24. | :04:26. | |
separate Israeli and Palestinian states existing side-by-side, | :04:27. | :04:30. | |
may not be the only option to achieve Middle East peace. | :04:31. | :04:32. | |
Pursuing such a line would be a dramatic departure | :04:33. | :04:37. | |
from existing US policy, delighting right-wing ministers | :04:38. | :04:39. | |
in Israel who advocate settlement expansion. | :04:40. | :04:42. | |
But Palestinian leaders would see any such move | :04:43. | :04:44. | |
and will be closely watching Mr Trump's every word and tweet. | :04:45. | :04:54. | |
In a moment, we'll talk to Jonny Dymond in Jerusalem. | :04:55. | :04:56. | |
But first, over to Gary O'Donoghue, in Washington. | :04:57. | :05:00. | |
This flurry of tweets in the last hour, suggesting the president is | :05:01. | :05:09. | |
rather angry? Yes. Not entirely coherent, some of it, as well. But | :05:10. | :05:14. | |
he has really whipped out this morning at the FBI and the | :05:15. | :05:17. | |
intelligence community, accusing them of interfering in politics, of | :05:18. | :05:23. | |
a legally leaking, really reigniting that war with the intelligence | :05:24. | :05:26. | |
community that he had during the campaign. It's an extraordinary | :05:27. | :05:32. | |
attack from a sitting president on his own agencies, that are charged | :05:33. | :05:39. | |
with the security of the state. But he's clearly furious about this, | :05:40. | :05:43. | |
particularly because these agencies do seem to be leaking quite a lot. | :05:44. | :05:48. | |
The latest instalments suggest that they believe there were contacts | :05:49. | :05:51. | |
between the Trump campaign and intelligence officers from Russia | :05:52. | :05:56. | |
during last year. That's all denied all round, of course. But we do know | :05:57. | :06:01. | |
that the intelligence community has said publicly that they believe | :06:02. | :06:06. | |
Russia did interfere in the election on Mr Trump's behalf, or to get him | :06:07. | :06:13. | |
elected, at any rate. There is a real stand-off going on right now, | :06:14. | :06:17. | |
and I would not want to be in the shoes of James Kelly, the FBI | :06:18. | :06:24. | |
director, this morning. Let's go to Jonny Dymond now in Jerusalem. This | :06:25. | :06:29. | |
apparent change of heart about a two-state solution, how is that | :06:30. | :06:34. | |
going down there? I think it will be greeted with great joy amongst some | :06:35. | :06:37. | |
in Israel, great consternation amongst many in Israel and in | :06:38. | :06:41. | |
Palestine and in the wider Arab world. The two-state solution, the | :06:42. | :06:46. | |
idea that there would be a Palestinian state next to the state | :06:47. | :06:49. | |
of Israel at the end of negotiations, has been the bedrock | :06:50. | :06:52. | |
of negotiations for the last couple of decades, and the idea that it | :06:53. | :06:56. | |
could be swept away will cause deep concern amongst centrist Israelis, | :06:57. | :07:00. | |
Palestinians, the wider Arab world and the international community. The | :07:01. | :07:04. | |
nationalist and religious right here in Israel will be delighted, because | :07:05. | :07:10. | |
the West Bank, where that eventual Palestinian state would be, they see | :07:11. | :07:13. | |
as part of greater Israel. The big question is, if it is not a | :07:14. | :07:16. | |
two-state solution at the end of negotiations, what is it to be? It | :07:17. | :07:19. | |
is worth acknowledging, the two-state solution has been the end | :07:20. | :07:24. | |
point of a priest process which has gone pretty much nowhere over the | :07:25. | :07:27. | |
last two decades, it might be that the Trump ministration has a grand | :07:28. | :07:31. | |
idea to try to shake things up. But if you're not going to have a | :07:32. | :07:36. | |
two-state solution at the end, what will it be? And if that is not the | :07:37. | :07:39. | |
end point, are Palestinians going to turn up to negotiations at all? | :07:40. | :07:43. | |
A woman has been arrested in connection with the assassination | :07:44. | :07:48. | |
of the half-brother of North Korea's leader, Kim Jong-un. | :07:49. | :07:52. | |
The authorities say they're hunting five other suspects. | :07:53. | :07:54. | |
South Korea says it believes North Korea is behind the killing, | :07:55. | :07:56. | |
and says the poisoning shows the "brutal inhumane nature" | :07:57. | :07:59. | |
The assassination of Kim Jong-nam took place at Kuala Lumpur | :08:00. | :08:02. | |
airport, in Malaysia, from where Karishma | :08:03. | :08:03. | |
Is this one of the female assassins who carried out an audacious | :08:04. | :08:10. | |
Malaysian police say that a Vietnamese woman has been detained | :08:11. | :08:15. | |
as part of the investigation into the alleged assassination | :08:16. | :08:28. | |
of this man, Kim Jong-nam, the estranged half-brother | :08:29. | :08:30. | |
of North Korea's reclusive leader Kim Jong-un. | :08:31. | :08:39. | |
At one point Mr Jung-nam being groomed to succeed his father | :08:40. | :08:42. | |
as the next leader of North Korea but he fell out of favour and has | :08:43. | :08:46. | |
How he may have died in KL airport, though, is still unclear. | :08:47. | :08:50. | |
The fact in this case are murky, to say the least. | :08:51. | :08:53. | |
There are a number of varying, multiple accounts of what happened. | :08:54. | :08:55. | |
Between the hours of nine and 10am on Monday morning, | :08:56. | :08:59. | |
a man believed to be Kim Jong-nan was attacked in this | :09:00. | :09:02. | |
Police say that he was accosted by at least one woman, | :09:03. | :09:09. | |
who covered his face with a cloth filled with some sort of burning | :09:10. | :09:12. | |
After that he is thought to have walked over to that | :09:13. | :09:16. | |
information counter over there to ask for help. | :09:17. | :09:17. | |
And then he was taken to a medical clinic at the airport | :09:18. | :09:20. | |
But how could an attack of this nature take place in broad daylight | :09:21. | :09:25. | |
I asked a number of people who work here, but no-one | :09:26. | :09:33. | |
Where you should go for information right now is the police, | :09:34. | :09:37. | |
because they are the only ones that can give any updates. | :09:38. | :09:40. | |
South Korea, though, insist the man who died was Kim Jong-nan, | :09:41. | :09:45. | |
brutally murdered on the orders of the North Korean regime. | :09:46. | :09:51. | |
TRANSLATION: The government is certainly judging the person | :09:52. | :09:58. | |
Since this case is still being investigated, we should wait | :09:59. | :10:06. | |
for details until the Malaysian government makes an announcement. | :10:07. | :10:09. | |
The focus of the investigation will now move to KL hospital, | :10:10. | :10:11. | |
where the body of the man believed to be Kim Jong-nan | :10:12. | :10:14. | |
Malaysia says it can't confirm his identity | :10:15. | :10:17. | |
until the postmortem is released - which may not happen | :10:18. | :10:20. | |
A record number of people in the UK are now in work. | :10:21. | :10:25. | |
Official figures show nearly 32 million adults are in a job - | :10:26. | :10:28. | |
Unemployment also fell in the three months to December. | :10:29. | :10:33. | |
And there's been a fall of 19,000 in the number | :10:34. | :10:35. | |
of workers from the EU, as our economics correspondent | :10:36. | :10:37. | |
This Worcestershire -based manufacturer of machine tools for | :10:38. | :10:51. | |
the car industry has a problem. It wants to expand to meet demand for | :10:52. | :10:55. | |
its precision parts, but it can't grow without the staff to do the | :10:56. | :11:00. | |
work. It has been able to draw on a supply of skilled workers from the | :11:01. | :11:04. | |
rest of the European Union, who make up a quarter of its workforce. But | :11:05. | :11:09. | |
now, that supply is drying up. We are working with several recruiting | :11:10. | :11:12. | |
agencies at the moment, who have been trying to find me people for | :11:13. | :11:19. | |
several months now. And the calibre of people that we require are just | :11:20. | :11:27. | |
not out there, and that is both indigenous population and overseas. | :11:28. | :11:31. | |
The number of workers in the UK from the rest of the European Union has | :11:32. | :11:34. | |
been growing by hundreds of thousands per year. But to the right | :11:35. | :11:39. | |
of this chart, you can see how it has stopped growing as quickly. In | :11:40. | :11:43. | |
the last few months of 2016, the number dropped slightly. Workers | :11:44. | :11:48. | |
from Poland, for instance, who work in the UK, can buy less goods for | :11:49. | :11:52. | |
what they earn here in their countries of origin. So, you only | :11:53. | :11:59. | |
get, say, 90% of a washing machine for the same money for which you | :12:00. | :12:04. | |
could I an entire washing machine. That clearly creates a disincentive | :12:05. | :12:09. | |
to come to work or stay in the UK. The official figures also break down | :12:10. | :12:13. | |
where people joining or leaving the workforce were born. The number of | :12:14. | :12:18. | |
workers born in the UK dropped by 120,000. But the number of workers | :12:19. | :12:23. | |
who weren't born in the UK increased A4 hundred and 30 1000. Many people | :12:24. | :12:28. | |
would argue that we can't carry on with the immigration numbers that | :12:29. | :12:33. | |
we've had, so the effect of that must be that we get better at | :12:34. | :12:39. | |
re-training our own workers, Remax killing them and bringing into the | :12:40. | :12:45. | |
employment market routes that were previously not unemployed, but in | :12:46. | :12:49. | |
active. Over the last decade, the Connolly has grown used to large | :12:50. | :12:53. | |
inflows of migrant labour, which has created jobs and allowed companies | :12:54. | :12:55. | |
to find skilled workers when otherwise they would struggle. But | :12:56. | :13:00. | |
for many businesses who have become dependent for their growth on | :13:01. | :13:03. | |
migrant workers, a big adjustment is under way. | :13:04. | :13:06. | |
The Prime Minister, Theresa May is visiting Cumbria, | :13:07. | :13:10. | |
ahead of next week's by-election in the seat of Copeland, which is at | :13:11. | :13:13. | |
Let's speak our political correspondent Tom Bateman. | :13:14. | :13:18. | |
Theresa May has been visiting a school here in this constituency in | :13:19. | :13:25. | |
Cumbria. We are expecting the prime ministerial car to appear at any | :13:26. | :13:30. | |
moment as she leaves. It is this visit which I think is a sign of the | :13:31. | :13:34. | |
confidence with which the Conservatives are approaching this | :13:35. | :13:37. | |
by-election. This seat has been held by Labour since as long as anyone | :13:38. | :13:41. | |
can remember, since the 1930s, in fact. It is not since the 1980s that | :13:42. | :13:47. | |
a sitting government has managed to gain a seat from a opposition party. | :13:48. | :13:52. | |
So this is a significant electoral test for Jeremy Corbyn's leadership | :13:53. | :13:56. | |
of Labour. It will tell us much about the appeal of those two | :13:57. | :14:00. | |
parties. This is a traditionally Labour supporting part of the world, | :14:01. | :14:06. | |
in which many jobs are traditionally dependent on the nuclear industry at | :14:07. | :14:09. | |
Sellafield and on the planned plant at Moorside, over which there is now | :14:10. | :14:14. | |
some uncertainty. The Conservatives have tried to attack Jeremy Corbyn | :14:15. | :14:19. | |
on that front, saying that historically he has opposed the | :14:20. | :14:21. | |
nuclear and therefore cannot be trusted. The local candidate is | :14:22. | :14:25. | |
saying that she supports that industry. As for Labour, they say | :14:26. | :14:30. | |
the NHS is the real history here, and they point to Conservative | :14:31. | :14:33. | |
policies which they say have put a local hospital services in doubt. | :14:34. | :14:38. | |
So, this will be a real test I think for both parties, and it is turning | :14:39. | :14:42. | |
into a race which potentially could tell us something really significant | :14:43. | :14:45. | |
about the two. We will have a result a week on Friday. | :14:46. | :14:49. | |
You can see a full list of the Copeland by-election | :14:50. | :14:51. | |
Hollywood actor Harrison Ford has been involved in a near-miss | :14:52. | :14:58. | |
while flying his plane in California. | :14:59. | :14:59. | |
He mistakenly landed on a taxiway where an American Airlines jet | :15:00. | :15:02. | |
US authorities say an investigation is underway. | :15:03. | :15:15. | |
There is some flash photography coming up. | :15:16. | :15:18. | |
It's not the Hollywood star's first flying mishap. | :15:19. | :15:21. | |
Two years ago, the 74-year-old was seriously injured | :15:22. | :15:23. | |
when his World War II plane crashed on a Los Angeles golf | :15:24. | :15:26. | |
course, when it lost power shortly after take-off. | :15:27. | :15:28. | |
In the latest incident, Harrison Ford, who collects vintage | :15:29. | :15:32. | |
planes, was just coming in to land at John Wayne airport, | :15:33. | :15:34. | |
Without naming him, the Federal Aviation Administration | :15:35. | :15:41. | |
confirmed that a pilot of a single-engined | :15:42. | :15:46. | |
to land and he had been correctly read back the clearance. | :15:47. | :15:52. | |
But it appears the actor got a bit confused, and instead of landed | :15:53. | :15:55. | |
on the designated runway, he touched down | :15:56. | :15:57. | |
Just before landing, Ford is reported to have asked | :15:58. | :16:00. | |
air-traffic controllers, "Was that airliner meant | :16:01. | :16:02. | |
The Boeing 737 that WAS meant to be there had 110 passengers | :16:03. | :16:09. | |
on board and took off safely a few minutes later. | :16:10. | :16:11. | |
An FAA investigation is now underway, and it | :16:12. | :16:13. | |
could result in the suspension of Ford's pilot licence. | :16:14. | :16:17. | |
There are calls for an investigation into the Trump administration's | :16:18. | :16:22. | |
As the president is urged to rethink his odyssey on President Putin. | :16:23. | :16:31. | |
It was at this point the vehicle battery gave out. | :16:32. | :16:36. | |
More than 30 years after the launch | :16:37. | :16:38. | |
of the Clive Sinclair's C5, can his nephew succeed | :16:39. | :16:40. | |
Arsenal face familiar foe Bayern Munich in the last 16 | :16:41. | :16:47. | |

President Trump's defence secretary James Mattis, | :16:52. | :17:01. | |
is meeting NATO defence ministers in Brussels today. | :17:02. | :17:04. | |
Mr Trump has criticised the Alliance in the past - | :17:05. | :17:06. | |
and ministers will want to hear General Mattis make it clear that | :17:07. | :17:10. | |
Nato remains central to Washington's world view. | :17:11. | :17:12. | |
Well, our defence correspondent Jonathan Beale reports now | :17:13. | :17:16. | |
from Nato's most northerly border - between Norway and Russia - | :17:17. | :17:19. | |
Winter in the Arctic Circle and the days are at last getting | :17:20. | :17:28. | |
longer, but the climate is still unforgiving. | :17:29. | :17:31. | |
The Norwegian border guard have to go out in all kinds of weather, | :17:32. | :17:34. | |
keeping an eye on their neighbour, Russia. | :17:35. | :17:36. | |
This is the Nato alliance's most northerly border. | :17:37. | :17:39. | |
And at times it is a pretty inhospitable place. | :17:40. | :17:48. | |
But every day, all year round, the Norwegian army | :17:49. | :17:50. | |
Russia's flexing its military muscle in the high north, | :17:51. | :17:57. | |
staking its claim on a region that is thought to have more oil | :17:58. | :18:00. | |
But the new US Defence Secretary has called Russia's moves | :18:01. | :18:04. | |
It's not reached the levels of the old Cold War | :18:05. | :18:11. | |
Further south, US Marines are now being trained by the British, | :18:12. | :18:23. | |
learning how to survive and fight in the Arctic. | :18:24. | :18:28. | |
For many it's their first time on skis. | :18:29. | :18:31. | |
What I'm going to go through now is another method | :18:32. | :18:33. | |
This training is serious and has now become a regular rotation. | :18:34. | :18:43. | |
A persistent presence of US forces in Norway, a key Nato ally. | :18:44. | :18:46. | |
It's always important to have a military presence | :18:47. | :18:48. | |
and a cooperative agreement with our Nato allies. | :18:49. | :18:53. | |
And then when Russia says this is unhelpful | :18:54. | :18:54. | |
and causing tension, what do you say? | :18:55. | :18:59. | |
I say that we continue to support the Nato strategic alliance | :19:00. | :19:02. | |
and will allow the politicians to work through what they | :19:03. | :19:04. | |
Tensions and competition between east and west are nothing | :19:05. | :19:10. | |
new for the people of Norway but like the rest of Europe they're | :19:11. | :19:14. | |
getting mixed messages from the new US administration. | :19:15. | :19:17. | |
A Defence Secretary, James Mattis, who is talking tough on Russia, | :19:18. | :19:19. | |
but a president who appears to want closer ties. | :19:20. | :19:24. | |
When you look at Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump, which of those | :19:25. | :19:27. | |
How could you possibly pick just one? | :19:28. | :19:35. | |
I'm actually more worried about Trump than Putin. | :19:36. | :19:41. | |
Because Putin is like a control maniac. | :19:42. | :19:46. | |
For Norway's border guards it's still business as usual, | :19:47. | :19:56. | |
but these are also increasingly uncertain times when no one knows | :19:57. | :19:58. | |
Jonathan Beale, BBC News, in the Arctic Circle. | :19:59. | :20:04. | |
There's more division in The Church of England today - | :20:05. | :20:12. | |
with claims that it has 'betrayed' Gay and Lesbian Christians | :20:13. | :20:14. | |
As its ruling body debates the issue - members of the General Synod | :20:15. | :20:19. | |
will vote on a Bishops' report which says only a man and a woman | :20:20. | :20:22. | |
can marry in church - and services should not be held | :20:23. | :20:25. | |
to bless the relationships of same-sex couples. | :20:26. | :20:29. | |
Our religious affairs correspondent Martin Bashir | :20:30. | :20:31. | |
Had a motion marking the 500th anniversary of the Reformation this | :20:32. | :20:42. | |
coming October, we've even had a debate about thousands married and | :20:43. | :20:49. | |
whether they should continue to be said in church, and they will be. | :20:50. | :20:52. | |
Today is the big event of this weeks General Synod, a debate on the | :20:53. | :20:57. | |
Bishops' report on same-sex marriage. We know that members have | :20:58. | :21:01. | |
already been exercising their voices in preparation for what is likely to | :21:02. | :21:02. | |
be a contentious debate. Amazing Grace, sung by protesters | :21:03. | :21:05. | |
this morning and almost certainly required this afternoon | :21:06. | :21:16. | |
as General Synod prepares to debate the Bishop's report | :21:17. | :21:19. | |
on same-sex marriage. A report that says marriage | :21:20. | :21:23. | |
in church should remain the lifelong union | :21:24. | :21:25. | |
between a man and a woman. After engaging in three years | :21:26. | :21:29. | |
of shared conversations, many lesbian and gay Christians | :21:30. | :21:35. | |
are angered that church doctrine is not falling into line | :21:36. | :21:38. | |
with the law of the land which legalised same-sex | :21:39. | :21:40. | |
marriage in 2014. We're talking here about the | :21:41. | :21:44. | |
national church being massively out of step with people, | :21:45. | :21:48. | |
and this isn't just about saying that we have to follow what society | :21:49. | :21:51. | |
is doing and what society is saying. This is about saying, actually, | :21:52. | :21:54. | |
where people perceive love in relationships between one | :21:55. | :21:56. | |
another, can the Church of England simply not recognise that God | :21:57. | :21:59. | |
is present in those things? Bishops preparing for this | :22:00. | :22:06. | |
afternoon's debate acknowledge their own struggles with church | :22:07. | :22:08. | |
doctrine on the subject I'd be misleading you if I did not | :22:09. | :22:10. | |
confess to being conflicted But in that I think I'm far | :22:11. | :22:17. | |
from alone among the Bishops And our own history in dealing | :22:18. | :22:23. | |
with these matters also explains why people on all sides of the debate | :22:24. | :22:29. | |
rarely find themselves satisfied. Today's debate will conclude | :22:30. | :22:35. | |
at seven this evening with a vote. Members of Synod will be | :22:36. | :22:40. | |
invited to affirm or reject If they choose the latter, | :22:41. | :22:42. | |
then questions about the unity of the Church of England and indeed | :22:43. | :22:48. | |
the global Anglican Communion And in that regard we've just seen a | :22:49. | :23:05. | |
tweet by the Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, I'll quote | :23:06. | :23:10. | |
it "I'm praying for Synod today for Grace, generosity and wisdom in | :23:11. | :23:16. | |
debating painful and complex matters." The debate starts at | :23:17. | :23:18. | |
4:45pm. Martin Bashir, thank you. The disgraced entertainer | :23:19. | :23:24. | |
Rolf Harris will face a retrial on three sex offence charges - | :23:25. | :23:27. | |
and one new count. A jury at Southwark Crown Court | :23:28. | :23:29. | |
was discharged last week - the new trial will take | :23:30. | :23:32. | |
place in May. The Crown Prosecution Service says | :23:33. | :23:34. | |
it's decided to seek a retrial India has created history | :23:35. | :23:36. | |
by launching a record The Indian Prime Minister | :23:37. | :23:43. | |
tweeted his congratulations, calling it a proud moment | :23:44. | :23:47. | |
for the scientific India's space programme is seen | :23:48. | :23:49. | |
as a reliable and low-cost alternative in the growing | :23:50. | :23:53. | |
commercial market for satellite launches, with all but three | :23:54. | :23:57. | |
of the satellites from foreign countries - and 96 | :23:58. | :24:02. | |
from the United States. Tens of thousands of people - | :24:03. | :24:04. | |
evacuated because of fears that America's tallest dam could fail - | :24:05. | :24:07. | |
have been told it's Authorities have managed | :24:08. | :24:09. | |
to lower the water level in the Orovile Dam in California - | :24:10. | :24:12. | |
but have warned residents Their homes were in danger of being | :24:13. | :24:15. | |
engulfed by water after the 230 metre high spillways of the dam | :24:16. | :24:20. | |
were found to be damaged. A major new study suggests | :24:21. | :24:27. | |
there is a link between head injuries and long-term brain damage | :24:28. | :24:29. | |
in former footballers. In the first study of its kind, | :24:30. | :24:32. | |
researchers studied the brains of six deceased players known | :24:33. | :24:36. | |
for their skill at heading the ball. They all developed | :24:37. | :24:39. | |
dementia in later life. The Football Association has | :24:40. | :24:41. | |
welcomed the research - as our health correspondent | :24:42. | :24:43. | |
Smitha Mundasad reports. It's an integral part of the game, | :24:44. | :24:55. | |
but could doing this over and over again lead to long-term brain | :24:56. | :25:02. | |
damage? That's a question the family of former England player Jeff asked | :25:03. | :25:04. | |
has been campaigning to have answered. He died in 2002. He'd | :25:05. | :25:11. | |
suffered from degenerative brain disease linked to repeatedly heading | :25:12. | :25:16. | |
old, heavy footballs. If we can highlight it and push and push and | :25:17. | :25:20. | |
push to get it recognise, not just the dad. It started about dad but | :25:21. | :25:24. | |
it's about all these other families now, all these families are relying | :25:25. | :25:29. | |
on us. We'll never stop, we'll never stop fighting for them. Now, in the | :25:30. | :25:34. | |
first study of its kind, scientists looked at the brains of six lifelong | :25:35. | :25:40. | |
footballers who developed dementia. When we examined their brains at | :25:41. | :25:44. | |
autopsy we saw the thought of changes that are seen in text boxes, | :25:45. | :25:51. | |
which are known as CDE, chronic traumatic and Kraftwerk. In the | :25:52. | :25:56. | |
first time a series of players have shown there is evidence that head | :25:57. | :26:01. | |
injury has occurred earlier in their life which presumably has some | :26:02. | :26:06. | |
impact on dementia. The football Association says one question that | :26:07. | :26:10. | |
needs to be answered is whether degenerative brain diseases are more | :26:11. | :26:14. | |
common in professional football is, and the FA says that's research it's | :26:15. | :26:19. | |
determined to support. At some ex-footballers say action from the | :26:20. | :26:23. | |
FA could not come soon enough. With three of the surviving members of | :26:24. | :26:27. | |
England's 1966 World Cup winning team suffering from dementia, some | :26:28. | :26:32. | |
say this work is now more urgent than ever. So what does this mean | :26:33. | :26:37. | |
for people who like to kick a ball around a few times a week? We | :26:38. | :26:42. | |
shouldn't forget that exercise and football is included in that, | :26:43. | :26:47. | |
actually has a lot of benefits, it reduces your risk of cardiovascular | :26:48. | :26:50. | |
disease, obesity, diabetes and indeed the mention in later life. So | :26:51. | :26:55. | |
that needs to be balanced against any risk that can come from doing | :26:56. | :27:00. | |
that exercise. And the researchers are clear, the study did not analyse | :27:01. | :27:05. | |
the risks to children. But with US soccer already recommending that | :27:06. | :27:08. | |
children under 11 should not head footballers, and rugby already | :27:09. | :27:13. | |
taking action on brain health, the question is whether it is now | :27:14. | :27:16. | |
football's turn to do more about the long-term consequences of playing | :27:17. | :27:18. | |
the game. Smitha Mundasad, BBC News. British cycling's golden couple - | :27:19. | :27:26. | |

from the genius Sir Clive Sinclair. But the C5 never | :28:23. | :28:27. | |
lived up to the hype. Who better to road test the Sinclair | :28:28. | :28:30. | |
trike than former racing Sales were as slow as | :28:31. | :28:32. | |
Stirling Moss going uphill. Along with safety fears there | :28:33. | :28:37. | |
was another fundamental problem. It was at this point | :28:38. | :28:40. | |
going up the hill that Ask anyone under 30, | :28:41. | :28:43. | |

ie my age, it was the Clearly testing this | :28:51. | :28:54. | |
vehicle planted a seed As a youngster, Grant Sinclair | :28:55. | :28:58. | |
helped his uncle trial the C5, Three decades on he's designed his | :28:59. | :29:10. | |
own electric trike, the Iris. The principle is the same, | :29:11. | :29:19. | |
it combines pedals You can drive it without | :29:20. | :29:21. | |
a license from 14 years old. This one is weatherproof, | :29:22. | :29:24. | |
streamlined and made from the same You can see for starters | :29:25. | :29:27. | |
it's about three times quicker than the C5, | :29:28. | :29:32. | |
I can't actually keep up with Grant. This sold 17,000 units, | :29:33. | :29:40. | |
which I was surprised at when I found out, | :29:41. | :29:42. | |
but it didn't get the kind of mass sales, the millions that | :29:43. | :29:45. | |
were hoped for at the time. Why do you think this | :29:46. | :29:47. | |
is going to work this time? My product is a different | :29:48. | :29:50. | |
concept altogether. I think it was a very clever | :29:51. | :29:56. | |
idea, the original item. I always liked the idea | :29:57. | :30:02. | |
of a really fast e-bike, So this product is like being | :30:03. | :30:09. | |
in a large crash helmet, really. So, 30 years after it disappeared, | :30:10. | :30:13. | |
the Sinclair name is returning Looks a bit springlike. It does look | :30:14. | :30:27. | |
more springlike. Touch of sunshine first. This picture actually taken | :30:28. | :30:32. | |
in Aberdeenshire where at the start of the week at this very same | :30:33. | :30:36. | |
location it was great, cold and gloomy. So, big changes. We've seen | :30:37. | :30:41. | |
changes just today. This morning in Newquay in Cornwall after a great | :30:42. | :30:45. | |
start, got the sunshine out. But those on the map and in between | :30:46. | :30:50. | |
there is a large area of clouds. Producing outbreaks of rain moving | :30:51. | :30:54. | |
slowly northwards and eastwards. We should see some more sunshine after | :30:55. | :30:58. | |
the rain across the South West of England and Wales, maybe one or two | :30:59. | :31:02. | |
showers. Some lovely blue skies through the Channel Islands. Not | :31:03. | :31:06. | |
quite so lucky in the Midlands and South East England, grey skies, rain | :31:07. | :31:11. | |
from time to time. Heavy bursts possible. Wet weather extending | :31:12. | :31:13. | |
north through England. A warm feeling day-to-day. Temperatures in | :31:14. | :31:19. | |
double figures widely. After some sunshine, sharp showers in Northern | :31:20. | :31:23. | |
Ireland. Best of the sunshine still across northern Scotland. More cloud | :31:24. | :31:27. | |
further south, maybe some rain. Most ranges on that weather front which | :31:28. | :31:30. | |
will push away into the North Sea this evening. An area of low | :31:31. | :31:36. | |
pressure close to Scotland. He and perhaps Northern Ireland having rain | :31:37. | :31:39. | |
overnight. Further south things much, and karma. Across southern | :31:40. | :31:45. | |
counties of England there could be fog forming by morning. Slow start | :31:46. | :31:48. | |
here. It should brighten up nicely tomorrow. Sunshine across England | :31:49. | :31:53. | |
and Wales. One or two showers. Cloud and stronger when further north, | :31:54. | :31:57. | |
outbreaks of rain especially early on in Scotland and later across | :31:58. | :32:01. | |
Northern Ireland. He sent temperatures once again. Looking at | :32:02. | :32:05. | |
those temperatures in double figures and present in sunshine. More fog | :32:06. | :32:11. | |
early on Friday for southern and eastern parts of the UK. But it | :32:12. | :32:14. | |
should brighten up and we should see some sunshine. Out to the West more | :32:15. | :32:19. | |
clouds and the chance of some rain and temperatures ten or 11 degrees. | :32:20. | :32:25. | |
At this time of year the average maximum temperatures, about eight | :32:26. | :32:29. | |
Celsius. So quite mild and staying that way over the weekend. Perhaps | :32:30. | :32:32. | |
on Monday we could see temperatures into the mid-teens if we get some | :32:33. | :32:37. | |
sunshine. This weekend staying mild. Don't expect a lot of sunshine but | :32:38. | :32:41. | |
lots of clouds and it will produce some rain at times in the north. No | :32:42. | :32:45. | |
great amounts. The greater risk of rain in the North probably on | :32:46. | :32:48. | |
Saturday and then much later on Sunday, some places may well stay | :32:49. | :32:53. | |
dry. Likely to be dry further south, but sunshine in short supply. Still | :32:54. | :32:57. | |
some decent temperatures for the time of year. Thank you. | :32:58. | :33:01. | |
