:02:29. > :02:34.Barbara Plett-Usher reports from Moscow.
:02:35. > :02:47.This is not the kind of meeting that once seemed on the cards. Long gone
:02:48. > :02:52.is talk of a grand resettling of relations with Russia. That has been
:02:53. > :02:55.replaced over tensions over the chemical weapons attack in Syria and
:02:56. > :03:02.Russian anger over the American military response. It is important
:03:03. > :03:06.for us to understand your intentions, the intentions of the US
:03:07. > :03:10.aid and the real intentions of this administration. The Secretary of
:03:11. > :03:18.State said both sides had some explaining to do. We can further
:03:19. > :03:22.clarify areas of common objectives, areas of common interests, even when
:03:23. > :03:26.our tactical approaches may be different. To further clarify areas
:03:27. > :03:30.of sharp difference so that we can better understand why these
:03:31. > :03:33.differences exist. The Trump administration has raised the stakes
:03:34. > :03:38.by so publicly and strongly blaming Russia for the actions of its Syrian
:03:39. > :03:43.ally. It's a major shift in approach but it's not clear what the strategy
:03:44. > :03:46.is. Relations have never been easy but Moscow says they haven't been
:03:47. > :03:53.this low since the end of the Cold War. The strike on a Syrian air base
:03:54. > :03:58.seemed like a game changer but the Americans said they were taking a
:03:59. > :04:01.stand against the use of weapons of mass destruction, not taking sides
:04:02. > :04:06.in the Civil War. Yet President Trump is now pressing the Russians
:04:07. > :04:12.to back away from supporting the Syrian leader, Bashar al-Assad.
:04:13. > :04:16.Frankly, Putin is backing a person that is truly an evil person and I
:04:17. > :04:22.think it's very bad for Russia, I think it's very bad for mankind,
:04:23. > :04:25.it's very bad for this world. That is reinvigorated Western allies who
:04:26. > :04:30.met Rex Tillerson yesterday. They are hoping this means the US will
:04:31. > :04:35.take a more forceful role in pushing for a political solution. In Moscow
:04:36. > :04:39.though, that approach has backfired. President Putin has only deepened
:04:40. > :04:47.his show of solidarity with Assad and blames the rebels for the
:04:48. > :04:50.chemical attack. The relationship between the US and Russia is as bad
:04:51. > :04:55.as it has been in a very long time. In the aftermath of this air
:04:56. > :04:58.strikes, Rex Tillerson is going over with the hope that he can somehow
:04:59. > :05:04.persuade Russia of the critical importance of the US and Russia not
:05:05. > :05:08.coming to conflict in Syria. Tillotson has a lot of expense of
:05:09. > :05:13.working with the Kremlin, but in cutting business deals when he
:05:14. > :05:18.worked for Exxon Mobil. This is a whole other matter and the trip will
:05:19. > :05:23.be a test of whether he is up to the challenge.
:05:24. > :05:28.In a moment, we will have the latest from Gary O'Donoghue in Washington,
:05:29. > :05:35.but first, let's join Sarah Rainsford in Washington -- in
:05:36. > :05:39.Moscow, and one can only imagine how I see those initial conversations
:05:40. > :05:43.must have been. Certainly it looked like a very cool atmosphere and the
:05:44. > :05:47.words coming from the Russian side were fairly strong. I think Sergey
:05:48. > :05:50.Lavrov wanted to make clear that Russia is this all sorts of
:05:51. > :05:55.ambiguities and contradictions coming from America and it wants
:05:56. > :05:58.America to make its position clear. Of course, Rex Tillerson have come
:05:59. > :06:03.here with one clear demand. He had been calling on Russia to top in
:06:04. > :06:06.support of Bashar al-Assad but we have heard from the Kremlin, Mr
:06:07. > :06:10.Putin himself and the Foreign Minister that that is not going to
:06:11. > :06:13.happen. Russia has invested a huge amount in supporting Bashar al-Assad
:06:14. > :06:18.in Syria and it has made the point again today that that's because it
:06:19. > :06:22.sees him as a bulwark against terrorism. It believes that its
:06:23. > :06:26.fighting international terrorism alongside President Assad in Syria
:06:27. > :06:30.and we heard from the Kremlin today that it would be absurd to stop that
:06:31. > :06:33.support. I think it's going to be a very testy round of talks. We still
:06:34. > :06:39.don't know whether Rex Tillerson will meet President Putin, that
:06:40. > :06:42.might take place later today, but I think the atmosphere will be very
:06:43. > :06:47.different now between those two men and it was a view years back when Mr
:06:48. > :06:53.Putin gave an award to Rex Tillerson and called him a friend of Russia
:06:54. > :06:58.for his work in the oil industry. So a very different mood now. Thank
:06:59. > :06:59.you. We had to Washington. What is their next move by the Trump
:07:00. > :07:09.administration? We haven't heard really on what they
:07:10. > :07:14.think should happen to Bashar al-Assad. One point is that they
:07:15. > :07:18.want him to go straightaway and another is that they seem to be
:07:19. > :07:23.prepared to see his removal as less of a priority. Russia, not
:07:24. > :07:28.surprisingly, has latched onto this lack of consistency about America's
:07:29. > :07:32.approach to Syria and said, what are you up to? During the election
:07:33. > :07:38.campaign, Donald Trump, there was a lot of support for the idea that
:07:39. > :07:42.Russia was taking on terrorism, as Sarah mentioned there, terrorism
:07:43. > :07:46.inside Syria and that they could be more coordination between Russia --
:07:47. > :07:53.between Russia and the US are met. This has also been hamstrung
:07:54. > :07:57.slightly by the failure of the G-7 to agree further sanctions on
:07:58. > :08:02.Russia. It's not clear that Rex Tillerson turns up in Moscow with
:08:03. > :08:06.much in the way of Trump cards in his hand. Thank you Gary O'Donoghue
:08:07. > :08:23.and Sarah Raynsford. The manager of Borussia Dortmund had
:08:24. > :08:30.urged his players not to give into terror. He was speaking after the
:08:31. > :08:41.team bus was hit by three explosions last night. Both sides agreed a
:08:42. > :08:45.short while ago that they would still play tonight and federal
:08:46. > :08:52.investigators are investigating. That means this is a serious crime
:08:53. > :08:55.and terrorism is being looked at. Letters have been sent claiming

:11:33. > :11:35.fell by 45,000, to 1.56 million - the unemployment rate
:11:36. > :11:37.remained at 4.7%. Our Economics Correspondent
:11:38. > :11:47.Jonty Bloom is with me. You have been looking at the numbers
:11:48. > :11:53.and that is a positive headline story with unemployment but we
:11:54. > :11:58.should also be looking at earnings? It is unusual at this point in a
:11:59. > :12:02.cycle where we have unemployment at its lowest level in ten years, the
:12:03. > :12:07.number of people in work at the highest level since records began
:12:08. > :12:10.and yet average earnings only increasing by 2.2% each year. You
:12:11. > :12:15.would expect it to be more as employers have do pay more to find
:12:16. > :12:19.the best workers. It is only 2.2%. Inflation is very nearly at that
:12:20. > :12:23.level, meaning anyone who got a pay rise in the last year has seen that
:12:24. > :12:31.virtually wiped out by increases in prices in the shops. And that is
:12:32. > :12:34.indicative of living costs? Yes, some people such as civil servants
:12:35. > :12:38.have seen their wages frozen, so they are worse off last year than
:12:39. > :12:41.this year. We are expecting inflation to increased an average
:12:42. > :12:47.earnings not to go up. Inflation will increase because of the
:12:48. > :12:51.weakness in the pound, higher energy prices, higher travel prices, which
:12:52. > :12:55.we know are in the pipeline, so that will push up inflation and people
:12:56. > :12:59.will feel the squeeze. They will not have as much money to spend as they
:13:00. > :13:04.did last year as those prices wipe out their salaries and to put that
:13:05. > :13:06.in context, it has been going on a very long time. People are still
:13:07. > :13:11.paid slightly less than they were ten years ago and that is
:13:12. > :13:14.unprecedented. Because of the credit crunch, the recession and the
:13:15. > :13:16.squeeze on salaries and spending we have seen ever since then. Thank you
:13:17. > :13:20.very much, Jonty Bloom. Tesco has reported its first annual
:13:21. > :13:23.sales growth in seven years. But the supermarket giant's pre-tax
:13:24. > :13:24.profits fell by nearly a third, to ?145 million,
:13:25. > :13:26.because of fines and compensation Our business correspondent
:13:27. > :13:35.Emma Simpson explains. Tesco is still paying the costs

:13:53. > :13:58.he had detected a shift What we see our customers doing
:13:59. > :14:05.is being, as they have always been, very savvy about what they buy
:14:06. > :14:08.and when they buy it. So there's a subtle move
:14:09. > :14:11.back to more fresh food, back to more sort of everyday
:14:12. > :14:14.essentials and some subtle savings on what might have been
:14:15. > :14:16.luxuries in the past, being things they have
:14:17. > :14:19.chosen in the first part After years of falling prices,
:14:20. > :14:26.the cost of food is now on the rise. All retailers are having to cope
:14:27. > :14:30.with the fall in the pound, Tesco says it is passing on less
:14:31. > :14:36.inflation than its competitors. The current trend we're seeing
:14:37. > :14:44.from the supermarkets are that they are putting up prices
:14:45. > :14:46.of nonessential items, so for example items
:14:47. > :14:48.like candles and light bulbs. We have seen a 13% increase
:14:49. > :14:51.since last October. The reason they are putting up
:14:52. > :14:53.the price of the nonessentials is that customers are less likely
:14:54. > :15:00.to notice these price increases. But if the retailer was to put up
:15:01. > :15:03.the price of the essential everyday items like milk or bread,
:15:04. > :15:05.customers will notice straightaway and they might
:15:06. > :15:07.take their shop elsewhere. Are you using stealth tactics
:15:08. > :15:10.to pass on price rises? I'm familiar with the claim, that
:15:11. > :15:14.is not at all how we look at it. We measure all of our price basket
:15:15. > :15:19.and what we have been trying to do over the past two and a half years
:15:20. > :15:22.that I have been here is to lower prices, make them more stable,
:15:23. > :15:24.make them more predictable, not to be playing with promotions
:15:25. > :15:27.in a way which actually skews So our intention is to keep
:15:28. > :15:31.inflation away as best we possibly But can he do that and also keep

:21:30. > :21:32.Thank you very much. President Trump's spokesman,
:21:33. > :21:34.Sean Spicer, has apologised - after saying that Hitler didn't
:21:35. > :21:37.use chemical weapons. Sean Spicer made the remark
:21:38. > :21:39.during a White House press briefing, as he answered questions
:21:40. > :21:43.about the war in Syria. Journalists pointed out to him that
:21:44. > :21:45.gas was used to murder millions of Jewish people,
:21:46. > :21:50.and others, during the Holocaust. David Willis reports
:21:51. > :22:01.from Washington. Asked about the Syrian government
:22:02. > :22:02.use of chemical weapons the president press spokesman made the
:22:03. > :22:05.surprising assertion. We didn't use chemical
:22:06. > :22:07.weapons in World War Two. You know, someone as despicable
:22:08. > :22:10.as Hitler who didn't Asked to clarify those remarks, Sean
:22:11. > :22:23.Spicer dug himself in even deeper. To the Holocaust centre,
:22:24. > :22:26.I understand that. But what I'm saying,
:22:27. > :22:28.in the way that Assad used them where he went into towns,
:22:29. > :22:31.dropped them down to innocent... ..Into the middle of
:22:32. > :22:32.towns, it was brought. So the use of it, I appreciate
:22:33. > :22:47.the clarification. In a statement the Anne Frank Centre
:22:48. > :22:49.on mutual respect accused Sean Spicer of engaging in what it called
:22:50. > :22:52.the most offensive form of fake news imaginable by denying Hitler gassed
:22:53. > :22:55.millions of Jewish people to death. Calls mounting for his dismissal,
:22:56. > :22:57.the spokesman went back in front of the cameras to offer this apology.
:22:58. > :23:01.I was obviously trying to make a point about the heinous
:23:02. > :23:03.acts that Assad had made against his own people last week,
:23:04. > :23:06.And frankly, I mistakenly used an inappropriate and insensitive
:23:07. > :23:08.reference to the Holocaust for which, frankly,
:23:09. > :23:16.there is no comparison and for that, I apologise.
:23:17. > :23:22.On Monday Sean Spicer suggested the use of barrel bombs by the Syrian
:23:23. > :23:26.regime could merit renewed military action on the part of the United
:23:27. > :23:31.States. Only for the White House to deny its policy had changed. Now the
:23:32. > :23:36.Tramp administration is facing further unflattering headlines amid

:24:39. > :24:41.important as well that I go back. That's where things kind of standard
:24:42. > :24:45.from E and I had a terrible couple of years since then so it would be
:24:46. > :24:48.good to go back, just for things to come full circle for me
:24:49. > :24:51.and a little bit of closure. And end up with something good,
:24:52. > :24:56.something positive as well. The Leicester City
:24:57. > :24:58.fairytale continues - with probably the biggest night
:24:59. > :25:01.in the club's history to come, as they face Atletico Madrid
:25:02. > :25:05.in the Champions League. But there were some ugly scenes
:25:06. > :25:09.involving Leicester fans overnight, leading to eight arrests,
:25:10. > :25:11.and with last night's attack in Dortmund, there will be
:25:12. > :25:14.extra police on duty. Our Sports Correspondent Joe
:25:15. > :25:22.Wilson is in Madrid. Here we are, lads,
:25:23. > :25:27.just eight teams left in the European Champions League
:25:28. > :25:29.and Leicester, yes, The club's captain, currently unfit,
:25:30. > :25:37.filmed his own entrance into the stadium last night,
:25:38. > :25:41.as if to be sure it As Leicester trained here, other
:25:42. > :25:44.events were unfolding in Dortmund. As the training session concluded,
:25:45. > :25:50.police guarded and searched the Leicester team bus outside
:25:51. > :25:52.the grounds before the players And so Atletico Madrid
:25:53. > :26:03.twice recently finalists in the Champions League,
:26:04. > :26:07.welcome a man who was once In charge of just his eighth game
:26:08. > :26:14.as Leicester manager. Well, I think in terms
:26:15. > :26:17.of life experiences, you use them as you go along
:26:18. > :26:21.and you know, sometimes you have new experiences of which this season
:26:22. > :26:25.is for us in the Champions League. But we have enjoyed it,
:26:26. > :26:27.but make no mistake, we are there to compete and not
:26:28. > :26:30.there just to make the numbers up. And I think that's important,
:26:31. > :26:32.these players have Playing in the quarterfinals
:26:33. > :26:38.of the Champions League still seems almost surreal for Leicester City
:26:39. > :26:41.but you know, they have 20 years ago they lost
:26:42. > :26:47.to Atletico Madrid in the Uefa cup. Did manage a goal on this ground,
:26:48. > :26:51.and the goal-scorer was immortalised in the next match day programme,
:26:52. > :26:54.there he is. What could be more Spanish
:26:55. > :26:57.than Ian Marshall, with paella? But the current Leicester team
:26:58. > :27:04.is famous in Britain, in Madrid, The Leicester effect
:27:05. > :27:22.is crossing Europe. The Champions of England,
:27:23. > :27:32.it's called Leicester City. We all became Leicester fans for one
:27:33. > :27:40.day last season, it was amazing. It's a team we want to play
:27:41. > :27:43.against because we think it's going to be a great game
:27:44. > :27:46.for the fans. This city has dominated the
:27:47. > :27:52.Champions League in recent years. Leicester are not tourists,
:27:53. > :27:56.they are contenders and tonight A steam locomotive has been driven
:27:57. > :28:09.at 100 miles an hour - for the first time since steam power
:28:10. > :28:12.was abandoned by British Rail, The new steam locomotive,
:28:13. > :28:16.Tornado, reached the speed as part of an experiment,
:28:17. > :28:19.to assess whether steam trains can safely run faster than the current
:28:20. > :28:37.limit of 75 miles an hour. It may look like something from a
:28:38. > :28:41.bygone era but the Tornado steam locomotive is a very modern train.
:28:42. > :28:46.To run competitively on the railways today it must hit top speeds. Which
:28:47. > :28:51.is why in the middle of the night, its volunteer crew did something
:28:52. > :28:57.that has not been done since 1966. On the line between Newcastle and
:28:58. > :29:01.Doncaster, they took the train to the maximum, past the normal running
:29:02. > :29:07.speed, past 90 miles an hour and beyond. Right up to the top of the
:29:08. > :29:12.dial. We did what we set out to do. We need to see, we have not got it
:29:13. > :29:16.home yet so it really only counts when you get a terrible. But the
:29:17. > :29:20.guys had an inspection and we seem to be all right. It is all about
:29:21. > :29:24.gathering data, that is the difference with this, then we will
:29:25. > :29:28.take the engine to the shed and put to bed and put ourselves to bed.
:29:29. > :29:32.This class of steam train was common throughout the 1950s until the end
:29:33. > :29:38.of the 1960s when it was scrapped in favour of diesel. The Tornado was
:29:39. > :29:42.built in 2008 at a cost of ?3 million and it runs a charter
:29:43. > :29:45.service. But to fit into the modern railway network timetable the crew
:29:46. > :29:50.had to show that it could cope at more than 90 miles an hour. A lucky
:29:51. > :30:00.few were on board last night as the train hit the 100 mile an hour mark.
:30:01. > :30:08.I have every confidence and faith in them to be honest, they're wonderful
:30:09. > :30:11.people and they have done us proud. Absolutely incredible. She's the
:30:12. > :30:15.only locomotive that could have done it. Brilliant. If there was any
:30:16. > :30:19.problem they would have backed off immediately and they were just
:30:20. > :30:24.cruising in the high 90s. As smooth as silk, amazing. It is an
:30:25. > :30:28.achievement built on soot, steam and sweat and for the group huge cause
:30:29. > :30:32.for celebration. Rather than champagne though they were gasping
:30:33. > :30:36.for a cup of tea. The tornado was the first steam locomotive to
:30:37. > :30:47.reintroduce a timetabled service to England. Now it has shown what it
:30:48. > :30:48.can really do and the hope is that by the end of this year it will
:30:49. > :30:50.operate regularly at express speeds. And viewers in Yorkshire can see
:30:51. > :30:53.more about that story in tonight's edition of Look North,
:30:54. > :31:05.at 6.30 on BBC1. It is full steam ahead with the
:31:06. > :31:09.weather forecast! A look ahead to Easter in just a moment. There is
:31:10. > :31:16.cloud across central portions of the UK, this is a weak weather front
:31:17. > :31:19.that has brought some rain, most falling across Northern Ireland,
:31:20. > :31:24.northern England and the north of Wales. Behind that in Scotland a
:31:25. > :31:27.mixture of sunshine and showers. Rainbows across the Highlands of
:31:28. > :31:33.Scotland caused by the showers. A different picture across North
:31:34. > :31:39.Wales, some clout and spots of rain and also cloud across Dorset but
:31:40. > :31:45.that will break up to give some sunshine. So some decent weather to
:31:46. > :31:51.be had, temperatures reaching a high of 16 degrees in London. But more
:31:52. > :31:59.cloud and rain moving across Wales. It could be a showery picture
:32:00. > :32:04.crossed Cumbria -- Cumbria. The showers continued to feed him on the
:32:05. > :32:09.brisk north-westerly wind. Overnight the showers tend to fade away and we
:32:10. > :32:14.have clearing skies. It will be a cold night for the northern part of
:32:15. > :32:18.the UK. Cold enough for some frost in the coldest locations in the
:32:19. > :32:22.north of the country. Some showers around coastal area. Temperatures
:32:23. > :32:26.around six or 7 degrees in towns and cities. On Thursday we start off on
:32:27. > :32:30.a fine and sunny note but things cloud over from the West and the
:32:31. > :32:34.cloud big enough to bring some showers. Notably across western
:32:35. > :32:42.areas in Scotland were again it stays breezy. For the temperatures,
:32:43. > :32:46.a little bit cooler towards the south of England, temperatures just
:32:47. > :32:50.rising by the odd degree so across Ward northern parts of the country.
:32:51. > :32:53.Into Good Friday, a lot of cloud for England and Wales, some patchy
:32:54. > :32:59.outbreaks of rain possible. But no huge amounts. Brighter skies further
:33:00. > :33:05.north and with some sunny spells and passing showers. Into the weekend,
:33:06. > :33:08.low pressure never far away from the UK especially to the north as we go
:33:09. > :33:12.through towards the weekend. High pressure in the South keeping the
:33:13. > :33:17.worst of the weather at bay. But for the Easter break things not looking
:33:18. > :33:20.too bad. Most of us seeing some spells of sunshine, we could have an
:33:21. > :33:24.area of rain working across Scotland as we get through Sunday. Then
:33:25. > :33:28.brightening up again through Monday but there is some uncertainty about
:33:29. > :33:33.that. Find out more on the BBC website.
:33:34. > :33:35.That's all from the BBC News at One - so it's goodbye from me -
