0:00:10 > 0:00:14meetings with Israeli politicians.
0:00:14 > 0:00:16Pressure has been growing on the International Development
0:00:16 > 0:00:19Secretary since it was revealed she had a number of unsanctioned
0:00:19 > 0:00:24meetings in Israel while on holiday.
0:00:24 > 0:00:31It is up to the Prime Minister what she does. She is already tightening
0:00:31 > 0:00:32the ministerial code even further.
0:00:32 > 0:00:34She is already tightening the ministerial code even further.
0:00:34 > 0:00:37She's due to land in London in a couple of hours' time.
0:00:37 > 0:00:38We'll have the latest from Westminster.

0:00:40 > 0:00:42The boss of NHS England says the health service should get
0:00:42 > 0:00:46the cash boost it was promised during the EU referendum.
0:00:46 > 0:00:54The NHS was not on the ballot paper, but it was on the ballot boss. Vote

0:01:21 > 0:01:24England and Germany will both wear poppies on black armbands
0:01:24 > 0:01:27for their friendly this Friday, after Fifa changed their rules.
0:01:48 > 0:01:51Good afternoon and welcome to the BBC News at One.
0:01:51 > 0:01:54The International Development Secretary, Priti Patel,
0:01:54 > 0:01:59is flying back to London from Africa this lunchtime after being ordered
0:01:59 > 0:02:03back by the Prime Minister.
0:02:03 > 0:02:05And she looks set to be sacked.
0:02:05 > 0:02:07She was summoned after more disclosures about unofficial
0:02:07 > 0:02:10meetings she held with Israeli politicians while on holiday there.
0:02:10 > 0:02:12Priti Patel has already apologised for holding twelve undisclosed
0:02:12 > 0:02:15meetings in Israel in August - including one with the Israeli
0:02:15 > 0:02:16leader, Benjamin Netanyahu.
0:02:16 > 0:02:18But it's since emerged that there were another two
0:02:18 > 0:02:19meetings in September.
0:02:19 > 0:02:25Our political correspondent, Leila Nathoo, reports from Westminster.
0:02:25 > 0:02:32Another high-level meeting off the books.
0:02:32 > 0:02:34This time, with the Israeli Minister for Public Security,
0:02:34 > 0:02:36in Parliament in September.
0:02:36 > 0:02:38In August, while on holiday in Israel, Priti Patel said she had
0:02:38 > 0:02:41taken the opportunity to meet a number of people.
0:02:41 > 0:02:43Among them - charity leaders, Israeli politicians,
0:02:43 > 0:02:47and even the country's Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu.
0:02:47 > 0:02:49A Secretary of State apparently disregarding strict
0:02:49 > 0:02:53ministerial procedure, holding meetings arranged outside
0:02:53 > 0:02:57the usual channels, with no British Government officials present.
0:02:57 > 0:03:00When reports of her August meetings emerged last week,
0:03:00 > 0:03:02Priti Patel initially claimed the Foreign Office did know
0:03:02 > 0:03:06in advance about her visit.
0:03:06 > 0:03:10On Monday, she corrected the record, admitting 12 separate meetings
0:03:10 > 0:03:14and that the FCO only became aware of her trip while it was under way.
0:03:14 > 0:03:16She was summoned to Downing Street and reminded of her obligations
0:03:16 > 0:03:19under the Ministerial Code.
0:03:19 > 0:03:20And after that reprimand, Theresa May considered
0:03:20 > 0:03:22the matter closed.
0:03:22 > 0:03:25But now she has been recalled to Number Ten after two further
0:03:25 > 0:03:27meetings with Israeli government representatives in
0:03:27 > 0:03:30September were disclosed.
0:03:30 > 0:03:32She is a member of the British Government.
0:03:32 > 0:03:39What she did secretly from the British Government
0:03:39 > 0:03:41is discussed with a foreign powers government how best
0:03:41 > 0:03:43to get something out of the British Government.
0:03:43 > 0:03:46As a collective, which is what the British Government is,
0:03:46 > 0:03:48she should have kept everybody informed and not conducted
0:03:48 > 0:03:49her own foreign policy.
0:03:49 > 0:03:51After Priti Patel returned from her August trip,
0:03:51 > 0:03:57unknown to Theresa May until yesterday, she proposed
0:03:57 > 0:03:59sending taxpayers' money to the Israeli Army, to treat wounded
0:03:59 > 0:04:03Syrian refugees.
0:04:03 > 0:04:05A controversial suggestion, in a part of the world fraught
0:04:05 > 0:04:06with political sensitivities.
0:04:06 > 0:04:11These are bear traps for politicians.
0:04:11 > 0:04:14If you depart one iota from the agreed government position,
0:04:14 > 0:04:18there is a reason why government positions are resolved with
0:04:18 > 0:04:20collective discussion very carefully about what the implications
0:04:20 > 0:04:24are of any departure from the government position.
0:04:24 > 0:04:28And she was getting herself into danger.
0:04:28 > 0:04:30That danger has not passed.
0:04:30 > 0:04:32She has been recalled from official business in East Africa
0:04:32 > 0:04:35at the request of Downing Street.
0:04:35 > 0:04:38At the start of the week, Theresa May said she had
0:04:38 > 0:04:39accepted Priti Patel's
0:04:39 > 0:04:41apology for the way she had handled her visit to Israel.
0:04:41 > 0:04:43And would look at tightening the Ministerial Code.
0:04:43 > 0:04:46But now it appears the International Development Secretary did not reveal
0:04:46 > 0:04:52to the Prime Minister the true extent of her freelance diplomacy.
0:04:52 > 0:04:56Priti Patel's fate now seems clear.
0:04:56 > 0:04:58Theresa May could be facing her second cabinet
0:04:58 > 0:05:00departure in a week.
0:05:00 > 0:05:05Another blow for her fragile government.
0:05:05 > 0:05:11Our diplomatic correspondent, James Landale, is here.
0:05:11 > 0:05:15You broke the story last Friday, it has snowballed since. Tell others
0:05:15 > 0:05:19about the latest allegations that have led to her being summoned back
0:05:19 > 0:05:23to London.The original part of the story was that Priti Patel had been
0:05:23 > 0:05:27to Israel and had official meetings and had not told anybody. What we
0:05:27 > 0:05:30have learned in the last few hours of this morning is that there was
0:05:30 > 0:05:34subsequent meetings, not in Israel, once in the United Kingdom and House
0:05:34 > 0:05:40of Commons and Swansea New York, and she had further meetings with senior
0:05:40 > 0:05:47Israeli figures. They were not organised and reported back in the
0:05:47 > 0:05:51usual way, they were freelancing. And we have learnt and establishing
0:05:51 > 0:05:57allegation, a report by an Israeli newspaper, that during this trip,
0:05:57 > 0:06:01there were not 12 meetings as Priti Patel said on Monday, there was a
0:06:01 > 0:06:0513th and that was a visit to an Israeli defence Force killed
0:06:05 > 0:06:11hospital in the Golan Heights. This is a part of the world that the
0:06:11 > 0:06:14British Government does not recognise Israel's occupation of it,
0:06:14 > 0:06:18not a place where British ministers ever go as far as we can tell and
0:06:18 > 0:06:22yet Priti Patel went, again without telling the rest of her government.
0:06:22 > 0:06:23Thank you.
0:06:23 > 0:06:28Our assistant political editor, Norman Smith, is in Westminster.
0:06:28 > 0:06:32Priti Patel is back in London at about half past three this afternoon
0:06:32 > 0:06:38and she will see the Prime Minister, we understand. If she does go and
0:06:38 > 0:06:41she loses her job, that is two Cabinet ministers that have gone in
0:06:41 > 0:06:47less than a week, where does that leave the Government?It is bad,
0:06:47 > 0:06:52bad, bad for Mrs May to lose two Cabinet ministers in seven days. And
0:06:52 > 0:07:02it risks unsettling the Brexiteers and Remainers in the Government. She
0:07:02 > 0:07:07might harbour her only the ship ambitions, and while the Cabinet is
0:07:07 > 0:07:11being buffeted over the sexual harassment scandal. And it could get
0:07:11 > 0:07:15messy with reports in the Jewish Chronicle this lunchtime that Mrs
0:07:15 > 0:07:18May did know about some of these meetings and did know about the
0:07:18 > 0:07:21meeting with the Israeli Prime Minister, claims denied by Number
0:07:21 > 0:07:2910. But although it is bad, there is a worse scenario and that is if Mrs
0:07:29 > 0:07:34May what do not think because that would further cement the motion that
0:07:34 > 0:07:39Mrs May -- will to do nothing. It would cement the idea that she is so
0:07:39 > 0:07:44weak and fragile, she dare not move anybody, even if it appears they
0:07:44 > 0:07:49mislead her and in effect defy her authority. So although it is bad,
0:07:49 > 0:07:54there is a worse option, and that is if Mrs May was to turn the other
0:07:54 > 0:07:59cheek and do nothing.From Westminster, thank you.
0:07:59 > 0:08:02The head of the NHS in England, Simon Stevens, has warned
0:08:02 > 0:08:05that the budget for the health service next year is well
0:08:05 > 0:08:08short of what's needed.
0:08:08 > 0:08:11He told a conference in London that the public expects
0:08:11 > 0:08:13the Government to honour promises made on health spending
0:08:13 > 0:08:16during the EU referendum campaign - such as an extra £350 million a week
0:08:16 > 0:08:18for the NHS.
0:08:18 > 0:08:24Our health correspondent, Sophie Hutchinson, reports.
0:08:24 > 0:08:29The NHS in England is under unprecedented strain. Based with the
0:08:29 > 0:08:32tightest sustained financial settlement in its history, it is
0:08:32 > 0:08:37failing to keep up with patients demand. Today, its boss spoke
0:08:37 > 0:08:41bluntly about the impact on patients next year if significant extra
0:08:41 > 0:08:46funding was not made available.On the current funding outlook, the NHS
0:08:46 > 0:08:54waiting list will grow to 5 million people by 2021. That is an extra 1
0:08:54 > 0:08:58million people on the waiting list, one in ten of us waiting for an
0:08:58 > 0:09:05operation. The highest number ever. During the referendum, the Life
0:09:05 > 0:09:10campaign made controversial claims that breaking from the EU would mean
0:09:10 > 0:09:15an extra £350 million a week for the NHS. Mr Stevens said today it was a
0:09:15 > 0:09:18crucial deciding factor for those who voted Brexit and must be
0:09:18 > 0:09:24respected.By the end of the next financial year for the NHS, March
0:09:24 > 0:09:292019, the United Kingdom will have left the European Union. Trust in
0:09:29 > 0:09:34Democratic politics will not be strengthened if anyone now tries to
0:09:34 > 0:09:37argue, devoted Brexit pop before a better funded health service, but
0:09:37 > 0:09:44precisely because of Brexit, you now cannot have one day she voted Brexit
0:09:44 > 0:09:47for a better funded health service. At the same conference, the Health
0:09:47 > 0:09:51Secretary said there could be no commitment because of the
0:09:51 > 0:09:55uncertainty of the Brexit outcome. It was not a government promise. It
0:09:55 > 0:10:03was a promise by the Vote Leave campaign. But what I very much agree
0:10:03 > 0:10:08with is that if there is a Brexit dividend, if we end up having less
0:10:08 > 0:10:14pressure on public finances, because of the fact that we are not making
0:10:14 > 0:10:19net contributions to the EU, then I believe that the NHS should be the
0:10:19 > 0:10:24first port of call.The plea for a financial boost for hospitals,
0:10:24 > 0:10:27ambulance and community services was reinforced today by three major
0:10:27 > 0:10:32think tanks which insist an extra £4 billion is essential for next year
0:10:32 > 0:10:36if the NHS is to provide adequate care for patients.
0:10:36 > 0:10:39And if you want to find out what waiting times
0:10:39 > 0:10:42are like at your local hospital service, go to the BBC's NHS Tracker
0:10:42 > 0:10:43page on the website.
0:10:43 > 0:10:50You just need to put in your postcode.
0:10:50 > 0:10:52President Trump has arrived in the Chinese capital, Beijing,
0:10:52 > 0:10:54on the latest stop of his twelve-day tour of Asia.
0:10:54 > 0:10:57He was given a lavish welcome at one of the country's most
0:10:57 > 0:10:59important historic sites - the Forbidden City -
0:10:59 > 0:11:05by President Xi Jinping.
0:11:05 > 0:11:08Mr Trump is expected to use the visit to press China to do more
0:11:08 > 0:11:14to enforce sanctions on North Korea, as John Sudworth reports.
0:11:14 > 0:11:18At China's historic Forbidden City, a meeting of the worlds first
0:11:18 > 0:11:20At China's historic Forbidden City, a meeting of the world's first
0:11:20 > 0:11:22and second most powerful men.
0:11:22 > 0:11:30But some are beginning to wonder which one is which.
0:11:30 > 0:11:32While President Trump is beset by domestic woes,
0:11:32 > 0:11:35and seen to be lacking a coherent foreign policy, President Xi enjoys
0:11:35 > 0:11:40a tight grip on power and growing influence abroad.
0:11:40 > 0:11:43It is no coincidence that the visit starts here behind the walls
0:11:43 > 0:11:44of the old Imperial Palace.
0:11:44 > 0:11:49From a time when China had huge influence on the world stage.
0:11:49 > 0:11:50The symbolism could not be clearer.
0:11:50 > 0:11:53China's time has come again.
0:11:53 > 0:11:55Forget second place, President Xi is seeking
0:11:55 > 0:12:01a new relationship of equals with his American counterpart.
0:12:01 > 0:12:04A few hours earlier, in the South Korean capital,
0:12:04 > 0:12:06Mr Trump once again underlined his priority for this trip,
0:12:06 > 0:12:11the crisis in North Korea.
0:12:11 > 0:12:20Today, I hope I speak not only for our countries,
0:12:20 > 0:12:23but for all civilised nations when I say to the north,
0:12:23 > 0:12:25do not underestimate us.
0:12:25 > 0:12:34We call on every nation, including China and Russia,
0:12:34 > 0:12:37to fully implement UN Security Council resolutions.
0:12:37 > 0:12:40But China may not be willing to dance to Mr Trump's tune.
0:12:40 > 0:12:45In a leader who prides himself on his deal-making,
0:12:45 > 0:12:47it sees the opportunity to drive a hard bargain.
0:12:47 > 0:12:52John Sudworth, BBC News, Beijing.
0:12:52 > 0:12:57The Welsh First Minister, Carwyn Jones, is facing questions
0:12:57 > 0:12:59about the sacking of the former minister Carl Sargeant,
0:12:59 > 0:13:02following allegations from a number of women about his personal conduct.
0:13:02 > 0:13:0449-year-old Mr Sargeant was found dead at his home yesterday,
0:13:04 > 0:13:08days after he was dismissed and suspended from the Labour Party.
0:13:08 > 0:13:15Our Wales correspondent, Sian Lloyd, is in Cardiff.
0:13:15 > 0:13:18His friends and colleagues have spoken of their shock following his
0:13:18 > 0:13:23death, what is the mood there now? Indeed. And the work of the Welsh
0:13:23 > 0:13:28Assembly has been suspended for the rest of the week as a mark of
0:13:28 > 0:13:31respect to Carl Sargeant and members from across the political divide
0:13:31 > 0:13:34have paid tribute. They have left messages in a book of condolence
0:13:34 > 0:13:39that was opened earlier this morning. But amongst the feelings of
0:13:39 > 0:13:44sadness, there is a growing sense of anger amongst some Welsh Labour
0:13:44 > 0:13:49Assembly members about the way the thing was handled. Carl Sargeant was
0:13:49 > 0:13:52sacked from his Cabinet role on Friday by the First Minister of
0:13:52 > 0:13:55Wales, Carwyn Jones, amidst allegations of inappropriate
0:13:55 > 0:14:01behaviour made by a number of people. Mr Sargeant said the exact
0:14:01 > 0:14:06nature of those claims have not been made to him and it is understood his
0:14:06 > 0:14:09solicitor contacted Welsh Labour over the weekend but there was still
0:14:09 > 0:14:12no specifics. The First Minister said this morning he is saddened by
0:14:12 > 0:14:16the events, but now is a time to reflect and to think of Mr
0:14:16 > 0:14:18Sargeant's family.Thank you.
0:14:18 > 0:14:20The trial has begun of a woman charged with
0:14:20 > 0:14:24murdering her ex-boyfriend, following a suspected acid attack.
0:14:24 > 0:14:27The jury has heard Mark van Dongen was left paralysed from the neck
0:14:27 > 0:14:34down and lost his left leg, ear and eye.
0:14:34 > 0:14:36He ended his life in a euthanasia clinic 15 months later,
0:14:36 > 0:14:38saying he couldn't bear the pain any longer.
0:14:38 > 0:14:41He died in Belgium at the start of this year -
0:14:41 > 0:14:44more than a year after attack took place in Bristol.
0:14:44 > 0:14:46Our correspondent, Jon Kay, reports from the trial in Bristol.
0:14:46 > 0:14:48Mark van Dongen and Berlinah Wallace.
0:14:48 > 0:14:50He was an engineer from Holland.
0:14:50 > 0:14:52She was a fashion student from South Africa.
0:14:52 > 0:14:56They were together for five years, living in this Bristol flat.
0:14:56 > 0:15:00The prosecution claims that in September 2015 she bought
0:15:00 > 0:15:03sulphuric acid online and threw it over him while he was sleeping
0:15:03 > 0:15:06in just a pair of shorts.
0:15:06 > 0:15:09The jury was told that she laughed, saying if I can't have
0:15:09 > 0:15:10you, no one will.
0:15:10 > 0:15:15She was said to be unhappy the relationship had broken down
0:15:15 > 0:15:22and that Mark van Dongen had a new partner.
0:15:22 > 0:15:24Berlinah Wallace wept as the case against her was outlined.
0:15:24 > 0:15:26She denies murder and throwing a corrosive fluid.
0:15:26 > 0:15:29The jury was told that she claimed she thought the liquid
0:15:29 > 0:15:30was a glass of water.
0:15:30 > 0:15:33The court heard that Mark van Dongen was taken to Southmead Hospital
0:15:33 > 0:15:35in Bristol where his injuries were described as horrific
0:15:35 > 0:15:36and catastrophic.
0:15:36 > 0:15:39He was said to be grotesquely scarred by the acid,
0:15:39 > 0:15:41paralysed from the neck down.
0:15:41 > 0:15:45He lost an eye and needed a leg amputated.
0:15:45 > 0:15:49The prosecution said that 15 months after the incident,
0:15:49 > 0:15:52Mark van Dongen decided he could take it no longer.
0:15:52 > 0:16:00After being repatriated to be near his family in Belgium he asked
0:16:00 > 0:16:02a euthanasia clinic there to help end his life.
0:16:02 > 0:16:04Three doctors assessed him and judged his physical
0:16:04 > 0:16:06and psychological suffering to be unbearable.
0:16:06 > 0:16:12He died on the 2nd of January this year.
0:16:12 > 0:16:16The prosecution claims that the suffering that he sustained was so
0:16:16 > 0:16:21unbearable that it drove him to use a lazy and that is why they say Ms
0:16:21 > 0:16:26Wallace is guilty of murder which she denies. The jury are now being
0:16:26 > 0:16:29shown a video of Mark van Dongen lying in his hospital bed here in

0:17:38 > 0:17:40after he was criticised for failing to disclose an investment

0:17:43 > 0:17:45The revelations come from a number of leaked

0:17:49 > 0:17:51It's the second time this week that a member
0:17:51 > 0:17:53of the Royal Family has been named.
0:17:53 > 0:17:55But Prince Charles' private estate - the Duchy of Cornwall -
0:17:55 > 0:17:57insists that the Prince had no direct involvement
0:17:57 > 0:17:59in its investments.
0:17:59 > 0:18:06Our economics correspondent Andy Verity reports.
0:18:06 > 0:18:09As Prince Charles left the hotel in Malaysia early this morning,
0:18:09 > 0:18:12an investment he'd made on the other side of the world in Bermuda
0:18:12 > 0:18:13caught up with him.
0:18:13 > 0:18:15Sir, do you have any comments on the Paradise Papers
0:18:15 > 0:18:16revelations today?
0:18:16 > 0:18:19A car took him to the airport and later he and Camilla
0:18:19 > 0:18:21began a visit to India, while supporters at home
0:18:21 > 0:18:24defended his failure to disclose a shareholding in a company that
0:18:24 > 0:18:27stood to benefit from his environmental campaigning.
0:18:27 > 0:18:29On the right here is the late Hugh van Cutsem, one
0:18:29 > 0:18:31of the Prince's oldest friends.
0:18:31 > 0:18:34He was a director of Sustainable Forestry Management Limited,
0:18:34 > 0:18:39a firm that managed tropical rainforests registered in Bermuda.
0:18:39 > 0:18:42The company wanted to trade in carbon credits but tropical
0:18:42 > 0:18:44rainforests were not included in carbon credit trading schemes.
0:18:44 > 0:18:48So it needed the rules to be changed.
0:18:48 > 0:18:50In February 2007 the Duchy bought 50 shares in Van Cutsem's
0:18:50 > 0:18:56company worth $113,500.
0:18:56 > 0:18:59At that time SFM's directors agreed to keep the Duchy's
0:18:59 > 0:19:00shares confidential.
0:19:00 > 0:19:03Mr Van Cutsem asked for lobbying documents to be sent
0:19:03 > 0:19:05to the Prince's office.
0:19:05 > 0:19:08And soon the Prince was making speeches campaigning for changes
0:19:08 > 0:19:12to two international agreements on carbon credits.
0:19:12 > 0:19:16In June 2008 the Duchy sold its share for $395,000,
0:19:16 > 0:19:21a profit of more than 200,000.
0:19:21 > 0:19:24There is a potential conflict of interest.
0:19:24 > 0:19:27If on the one hand the Duchy of Cornwall was making profits
0:19:27 > 0:19:31in investments in one sector and at the same time
0:19:31 > 0:19:36the Prince of Wales is lobbying in that same area.
0:19:36 > 0:19:41But at the end of the day it boils down to whether the Prince of Wales
0:19:41 > 0:19:45knew that the Duchy of Cornwall was making these investments.
0:19:45 > 0:19:48Clarence House said the prince does not have any direct involvement
0:19:48 > 0:19:53in the investment decisions taken by the Duchy and he has certainly
0:19:53 > 0:19:56never chosen to speak out on a topic simply because of a company that it
0:19:56 > 0:19:57may have invested in.
0:19:57 > 0:20:01I do not think it was a conflict of interest, he has been talking
0:20:01 > 0:20:02about environmental issues, about carbon issues,
0:20:02 > 0:20:05since the 1970s.
0:20:05 > 0:20:08And anybody who chooses to go online and go back over 852 speeches,
0:20:08 > 0:20:12they're all there for them to see.
0:20:12 > 0:20:16There's no suggestion of illegality, nor that Prince Charles's
0:20:16 > 0:20:23campaigning caused the share price of his friend's company to rise.
0:20:23 > 0:20:26Nor is it suggested that the Duchy was seeking to avoid tax.
0:20:26 > 0:20:27Andy Verity, BBC News.
0:20:27 > 0:20:30Our Royal Correspondent Nicholas Witchell is in Delhi.
0:20:30 > 0:20:33This all overshadowing the prince's visit to New Delhi -
0:20:33 > 0:20:39has there been any comment from him at all?
0:20:39 > 0:20:44I do not think it is overshadowing it in any significant way. He is
0:20:44 > 0:20:49carrying on the visit which is important in the Anglo Indian
0:20:49 > 0:20:54context. He is visiting the Indian Prime Minister at the moment and his
0:20:54 > 0:20:57officials say they are comfortable bubble is no conflict of interest
0:20:57 > 0:21:00over these shareholdings and suggesting by implication he had no
0:21:00 > 0:21:03knowledge of their shareholdings and did not of course speak up in
0:21:03 > 0:21:07support of increasing their value. More broadly of course this and the
0:21:07 > 0:21:11earlier disclosures about the Queen and her offshore holdings have
0:21:11 > 0:21:23renewed calls for greater
0:21:26 > 0:21:28transparency over Royal finance and renewed calls for a register if you
0:21:28 > 0:21:31like of Royal financial interest. I think that would be strongly
0:21:31 > 0:21:33resisted by the Royal households, they would regard it as private
0:21:33 > 0:21:36income and in the case of the Queen and the Prince, from the Duchy of
0:21:36 > 0:21:38Lancashire and Duchy of Cornwall. But whether they could ever be
0:21:38 > 0:21:40regarded as private investors and accorded the privacy that private
0:21:40 > 0:21:43investors would expect of course is a moot point.Nick Witchel, thank

0:21:43 > 0:21:46The broadcaster Sky says it will consider closing Sky News if it

0:21:54 > 0:21:56could become too powerful.
0:21:56 > 0:22:03Our Media Editor Amol Rajan joins me now.
0:22:03 > 0:22:09Does this mean that the deal is more likely to go ahead?I think it makes
0:22:09 > 0:22:14the deal marginally more likely to go ahead. Just to be clear no one is
0:22:14 > 0:22:18saying the Sky News will shut any time soon, we are a long way from
0:22:18 > 0:22:22that. But what has happened overnight, the independent directors
0:22:22 > 0:22:25of Sky have sent the message that no one should take for granted that Sky
0:22:25 > 0:22:29News which loses tens of millions of pounds but both world-class
0:22:29 > 0:22:33journalism, no one should take for granted that it will continue in
0:22:33 > 0:22:39perpetuity. I've spoken to senior people at Sky and across the
0:22:39 > 0:22:42industry this morning and they say that the Murdoch family who are
0:22:42 > 0:22:46desperate for this bid to go through, they will be pleased that
0:22:46 > 0:22:50this morning there is a reminder that they will not necessarily fund
0:22:50 > 0:22:54Sky News forever. So I think that he'll fly more likely to go through
0:22:54 > 0:22:58although this could be an empty threat but a message that it is an
0:22:58 > 0:23:01important part of British journalism.
0:23:01 > 0:23:03Relatives of those who died in the Enniskillen bombing have been

0:23:21 > 0:23:27Exactly 30 years ago today people gathered in the same place, in the
0:23:27 > 0:23:35same town, in an act of remembrance. In 1987 the service was held to
0:23:35 > 0:23:40honour those who had died in two world wars. Today's ceremony was to

0:23:57 > 0:24:04even amid the series of shootings and bombings, all to simply known as
0:24:04 > 0:24:08the Northern Ireland troubles. Bodies were left buried in rubble
0:24:08 > 0:24:13after the explosion. The dead left lying alongside the dozens injured.
0:24:13 > 0:24:16A day that caused huge grief and has never left the families of those
0:24:16 > 0:24:25killed.The loss is just so terrible. And someone just said to
0:24:25 > 0:24:33me this last year that grief is the price of love and I never thought of
0:24:33 > 0:24:46it until I heard that. And it truly is.The great granddaughter of a
0:24:46 > 0:24:50couple killed during that Poppy Day bombing sang during the service.
0:24:50 > 0:24:55Despite the presence of politicians and police officers this was an
0:24:55 > 0:25:00event for the families. The message was read from the Queen from talking
0:25:00 > 0:25:05of the irreplaceable loss suffered by each of the families. They will
0:25:05 > 0:25:09gather again in this town this weekend as is still traditional on

0:25:19 > 0:25:21of a two year "experiment" - funded by local
0:25:21 > 0:25:31councils, not the BBC.
0:25:31 > 0:25:34After two years that experiment was judged a success and by 1971

0:25:49 > 0:25:51She's the couple's second child - their first, Sophia,
0:25:51 > 0:25:53was born last year.
0:25:53 > 0:25:55The news emerged a day after Murray played his first match
0:25:55 > 0:25:57since suffering a hip injury at Wimbledon.
0:25:57 > 0:26:00It was a charity exhibition match in Glasgow against Roger Federer,
0:26:00 > 0:26:06which he lost 6-3, 3-6, 10-6.
0:26:06 > 0:26:10She fled Syria two years ago after her home was destroyed
0:26:10 > 0:26:16in the civil war and only just made it into Europe by boat.
0:26:16 > 0:26:19She was a strong swimmer and less than a year later she found herself
0:26:19 > 0:26:22competing at the Rio Olympics as part of the refugee team.
0:26:22 > 0:26:24Now settled in Germany, the teenager has her sights

0:26:25 > 0:26:27Our sports correspondent Alex Capstick has been
0:26:27 > 0:26:30to Berlin to meet her - a warning that there are flashing

0:26:39 > 0:26:42The teenage swimmer who fled war-ravaged Syria to pursue
0:26:42 > 0:26:46her sporting dreams.
0:26:46 > 0:26:49A 25 day nightmare which featured a sinking boat full of migrants
0:26:49 > 0:26:52heading for Greece.
0:26:52 > 0:26:57Yusra and her sister jumped into the sea to help keep it afloat.
0:26:57 > 0:27:00I know that of course I was afraid, it was dark and I was just seeing
0:27:00 > 0:27:05the island but never reaching it.
0:27:05 > 0:27:10Not that I was the hero pulling a rope, you know.
0:27:10 > 0:27:13OK, I helped the boat and so on but it was not
0:27:13 > 0:27:15only me or my sister.
0:27:15 > 0:27:18Yusra Mardini eventually arrived in Berlin.
0:27:18 > 0:27:20Already a promising swimmer, she joined this club
0:27:20 > 0:27:23at the city's Olympic Park.
0:27:23 > 0:27:26Incredibly, just 11 months later, she was in Rio on the biggest
0:27:26 > 0:27:28sporting stage of all, competing for the first
0:27:28 > 0:27:34ever Refugee Team.
0:27:34 > 0:27:37Even after, before when they were telling me that I'm
0:27:37 > 0:27:39leaving to the Olympics, it was a really big surprise
0:27:39 > 0:27:42after only one year.
0:27:42 > 0:27:45I'm a refuge in Germany and I'm going and there
0:27:45 > 0:27:46is a Refugee Olympic Team.
0:27:46 > 0:27:49It was incredible.
0:27:49 > 0:27:52Yusra's remarkable back story means she is now a teenager in demand,
0:27:52 > 0:27:55with an expanding entourage befitting her growing
0:27:55 > 0:27:59stature on the world stage.
0:27:59 > 0:28:03I'm just hoping to get the idea to people that they are normal
0:28:03 > 0:28:06people and they had a normal life and they were forced
0:28:06 > 0:28:10to flee their country because of violence.
0:28:10 > 0:28:14And you are making a movie, or a movie is being made about you.
0:28:14 > 0:28:15How exciting is that?
0:28:15 > 0:28:16Stephen Daldry is directing it.
0:28:16 > 0:28:17Yeah.
0:28:17 > 0:28:18It's amazing.
0:28:18 > 0:28:20I'm really excited.
0:28:20 > 0:28:23But above all, Yusra Mardini is focused on training hard.
0:28:23 > 0:28:26She wants a place at the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo and doesn't
0:28:26 > 0:28:29mind who she represents.
0:28:29 > 0:28:33My ambition is just to be an athlete.
0:28:33 > 0:28:35If I'm going to start for Germany or for my country
0:28:35 > 0:28:39or for the Refugee Olympic Team, I'm going to do the best I can
0:28:39 > 0:28:42and it would be my pleasure.
0:28:42 > 0:28:45In a life full of twists and turns, the way to Tokyo may
0:28:45 > 0:28:47not be straightforward, but it's clear this determined

0:28:55 > 0:28:57Sheep can be taught to recognise the faces
0:28:57 > 0:29:00of people they've never met.
0:29:00 > 0:29:03Researchers from Cambridge University trained a flock
0:29:03 > 0:29:07of Welsh Mountain sheep to pick out the faces of celebrities,
0:29:07 > 0:29:10including the actors Jake Gyllenhaal and Emma Watson, and the former
0:29:10 > 0:29:11US President, Barack Obama.
0:29:11 > 0:29:16Researchers say it proves the animals possess similar facial

0:29:17 > 0:29:22Tom Burridge reports.
0:29:22 > 0:29:32Two faces and a sheep, the sheep pauses and then correctly picks the
0:29:32 > 0:29:35former US president. Next contestant, please. Spot the British
0:29:35 > 0:29:41actress. Some of the sheep being tested have Huntington's disease.
0:29:41 > 0:29:46Scientists wanted to know if those with the genetic mutation that
0:29:46 > 0:29:51causes the disease still have a properly functioning brain.What I'm
0:29:51 > 0:29:56interested in developing a way of measuring the cognitive function and
0:29:56 > 0:30:00flexibility. And face recognition is a very complex human task and we
0:30:00 > 0:30:04thought it would be good to see if she broke capable of doing it.
0:30:04 > 0:30:10Identifying the correct face equals food. So it turns out that sheep are
0:30:10 > 0:30:18not as stupid as we all thought. So my friends, which is 007? Anybody?
0:30:18 > 0:30:39Any takers? What about, who is this lady? Did someone say... Mmmmm. So
0:30:39 > 0:30:42when you next get that stare remember, she may remember your
0:30:42 > 0:30:43face.
0:30:43 > 0:30:45Time for a look at the weather.
0:30:45 > 0:30:48Here's Ben Rich.
0:30:48 > 0:30:52Here's Ben Rich.
0:30:52 > 0:30:57If you do not like the weather you have got at the moment it will
0:30:57 > 0:31:02probably change. We had some cloud this morning across Kent. But blue
0:31:02 > 0:31:08skies in York, a beautiful day here and sunshine across these central
0:31:08 > 0:31:17portions of the British Isles. Then add to the North West we have cloud
0:31:17 > 0:31:19and rain moving across Scotland and Northern Ireland with a
0:31:19 > 0:31:29strengthening wind. Where the temperatures with a maximum of 11
0:31:29 > 0:31:34degrees. This evening with the clear skies it is going to get chilly
0:31:34 > 0:31:38quite quickly through the evening then patchy rain moving south and
0:31:38 > 0:31:43east and by the end of the night telling chilly again across northern
0:31:43 > 0:31:47Scotland. Those are the temperatures in towns and cities but much lower
0:31:47 > 0:31:59in the countryside. So with the cold air in place and some cloud rolling
0:31:59 > 0:32:02in from the north-east, a pretty miserable start morning through the
0:32:02 > 0:32:12south-east. Across Wales something a little bit milder. Brighter skies
0:32:12 > 0:32:16already developing in northern England and Scotland and Northern
0:32:16 > 0:32:20Ireland with some spells of sunshine along with blustery showers across
0:32:20 > 0:32:24the far north of Scotland. Those sunny skies gradually spread a
0:32:24 > 0:32:29little further south and east. Taking some time to break up in the
0:32:29 > 0:32:33south. But here a bit milder tomorrow at 14 degrees there in
0:32:33 > 0:32:41Cardiff. On Friday mainly a fine start, some thundery showers
0:32:41 > 0:32:45possible in northern Scotland. And then clouding over across Northern
0:32:45 > 0:32:50Ireland with outbreaks of rain. A lot going on to the next few days.
0:32:50 > 0:32:54This frontal system will be with us for the start of the weekend
0:32:54 > 0:32:59bringing outbreaks of rain. Some cold air heading in our direction.
0:32:59 > 0:33:04So chilly feeling to the weather on Saturday. Some spells of sunshine,
0:33:04 > 0:33:13some showers blowing in as well. On Sunday we shift wind direction, more
0:33:13 > 0:33:17of a northerly wind so most showers down the east coast at this stage.
0:33:17 > 0:33:21And temperatures of
