Impeachment proceedings are under
way against Zimbabwe's | 0:00:05 | 0:00:06 | |
leader, Robert Mugabe. | 0:00:06 | 0:00:11 | |
Crowds are gathering
on the streets of Harare. | 0:00:13 | 0:00:15 | |
Mr Mugabe's former Vice-President
tells him to heed the call | 0:00:15 | 0:00:18 | |
of his people and stand down. | 0:00:18 | 0:00:22 | |
I will be reporting live from Harare
at the start of an impeachment | 0:00:28 | 0:00:33 | |
process that could finally see the
end of Robert Mugabe's 37 year rule | 0:00:33 | 0:00:39 | |
in Zimbabwe. | 0:00:39 | 0:00:41 | |
Also this lunchtime... | 0:00:41 | 0:00:42 | |
Thousands of criminal cases may have
been affected by alleged | 0:00:42 | 0:00:45 | |
manipulation of data at a forensics
laboratory in Manchester. | 0:00:45 | 0:00:47 | |
More money on offer for the EU -
Theresa May agrees to increase | 0:00:47 | 0:00:50 | |
the Brexit divorce bill,
if trade talks begin next month. | 0:00:50 | 0:00:56 | |
We are ready to move on to phase
two, to see those talks about a | 0:00:56 | 0:00:59 | |
deep and special partnership
with the EU for future. | 0:00:59 | 0:01:05 | |
A drug company providing medicine
for a thyroid condition is accused | 0:01:05 | 0:01:07 | |
of overcharging the NHS by tens
of millions of pounds. | 0:01:07 | 0:01:13 | |
And less than 48 hours
until the start of the Ashes, | 0:01:13 | 0:01:15 | |
and so the sledging begins,
with the Aussie's delivering | 0:01:15 | 0:01:18 | |
their first round of pom-bashing. | 0:01:18 | 0:01:22 | |
And coming up in the sport on BBC
News, Australia may have retained | 0:01:22 | 0:01:25 | |
the women's Ashes but England level
the series with a record | 0:01:25 | 0:01:28 | |
run chase in Canberra. | 0:01:28 | 0:01:33 | |
Good afternoon and welcome
to the BBC News at One. | 0:01:53 | 0:01:57 | |
Zimbabwe's governing party, Zanu-PF,
has started impeachment proceedings | 0:01:57 | 0:01:58 | |
against Robert Mugabe. | 0:01:58 | 0:02:02 | |
The motion accuses Mr Mugabe of
failing to uphold the constitution | 0:02:02 | 0:02:05 | |
and of giving his wife,
Grace, too much power. | 0:02:05 | 0:02:09 | |
Zimbabwe's former vice president,
who was sacked by President Mugabe, | 0:02:09 | 0:02:12 | |
has warned him to resign immediately
or face humiliation. | 0:02:12 | 0:02:16 | |
Ben Brown is in the capital,
Harare, this lunchtime. | 0:02:16 | 0:02:26 | |
Can you hear us? We will try to come
back to Ben Brown... He is there. | 0:02:31 | 0:02:42 | |
President Mugabe has so far
stubbornly resisted... No, I cannot | 0:02:42 | 0:02:50 | |
hear anything. We have to apologise,
he has lost his communications. | 0:02:50 | 0:02:57 | |
Let's move to our next story. An
investigation now into... Tom | 0:02:57 | 0:03:09 | |
Burridge's package now from
Zimbabwe. | 0:03:09 | 0:03:14 | |
They gathered near Zimbabwe's
parliament, where a move to impeach | 0:03:14 | 0:03:19 | |
their leader of nearly four decades
is under way. The Army, overseeing | 0:03:19 | 0:03:26 | |
the process, but still no sign from
Robert Mugabe himself that he's | 0:03:26 | 0:03:29 | |
ready to resign. The thing in a way
it is a very painful process. | 0:03:29 | 0:03:42 | |
Zimbabwe was Mugabe, Mugabe was
Zimbabwe. Now a remarkable claim | 0:03:42 | 0:03:46 | |
from the man once his deputy, the
former vice president here being | 0:03:46 | 0:03:51 | |
sworn in but sacked two weeks ago, a
move that precipitated the current | 0:03:51 | 0:03:56 | |
crisis. In a statement sent from an
undisclosed location, Emmerson | 0:03:56 | 0:04:04 | |
Mnangagwa accused Mugabe of planning
to have him killed. He said he would | 0:04:04 | 0:04:10 | |
not return until Mugabe was out of
power because he did not trust his | 0:04:10 | 0:04:18 | |
life in President Mugabe's hands. In
rural Zimbabwe where Robert Mugabe's | 0:04:18 | 0:04:25 | |
controversial land reform is hit
productivity, there also seems to be | 0:04:25 | 0:04:28 | |
a consensus that it is time for the
president to step down. That call, | 0:04:28 | 0:04:35 | |
mirrored by veterans. Once his
allies in war against colonial rule. | 0:04:35 | 0:04:39 | |
We are saying to Mugabe smell the
coffee, your time is gone. Use your | 0:04:39 | 0:04:48 | |
dignity, you have ruled long enough.
Throw in the towel, let the country | 0:04:48 | 0:04:56 | |
be given a clear signal that it can
start on a new page. You are the | 0:04:56 | 0:05:00 | |
biggest hindrance to the country
moving on. Inside the parliament | 0:05:00 | 0:05:07 | |
motion now under way to unseat the
president. Outside and across this | 0:05:07 | 0:05:13 | |
country people wait. They have the
Army and all main political groups | 0:05:13 | 0:05:17 | |
on their side. Robert Mugabe's days
feel numbered but for now at least | 0:05:17 | 0:05:23 | |
still no recognition from the man
himself that his time is up. | 0:05:23 | 0:05:34 | |
As you rejoin us live now in Harare,
Parliament sitting to consider that | 0:05:34 | 0:05:39 | |
the motion of impeachment. Some MPs
say it could be voted on quickly, | 0:05:39 | 0:05:44 | |
maybe as soon as tomorrow. Others
are saying MPs need to take their | 0:05:44 | 0:05:49 | |
time and give this process due care
and legitimacy and it might take | 0:05:49 | 0:05:53 | |
several weeks. Meantime there are
activists demonstrating outside | 0:05:53 | 0:05:57 | |
Parliament with a carnival
atmosphere there. Let's talk to one | 0:05:57 | 0:06:05 | |
of those protesters who has come up
here to talk to me. Do you think you | 0:06:05 | 0:06:10 | |
will be impeached now, and how
important is that? I think he will | 0:06:10 | 0:06:15 | |
be impeached, a motion has been
approved by parliament and we are | 0:06:15 | 0:06:19 | |
here protesting and demanding our
members of Parliament to impeach | 0:06:19 | 0:06:23 | |
Mugabe because there is no other
option. And really amazing that you | 0:06:23 | 0:06:27 | |
have the freedom now to demonstrate
like this. In the past you would | 0:06:27 | 0:06:32 | |
have been arrested or even beaten.
Yes, we are actually calling it an | 0:06:32 | 0:06:38 | |
impeachment party today. It has
turned into freedom square today. | 0:06:38 | 0:06:46 | |
For the past few days, President
Mugabe has been stubbornly resisting | 0:06:46 | 0:06:51 | |
increasing pressure on him to resign
from the people, from his own party, | 0:06:51 | 0:06:57 | |
Zanu-PF, and from the Army. He is
refusing to resign, now Parliament | 0:06:57 | 0:07:01 | |
is going to try to push him out of
office constitutionally with the | 0:07:01 | 0:07:06 | |
impeachment process. It needs a two
thirds vote from both houses, that | 0:07:06 | 0:07:10 | |
could come soon in the next couple
of days. We will bring you the | 0:07:10 | 0:07:15 | |
latest as it happens on BBC News. | 0:07:15 | 0:07:19 | |
An investigation into alleged data
manipulation at a forensics | 0:07:19 | 0:07:21 | |
laboratory used by police
across the country has | 0:07:21 | 0:07:23 | |
uncovered 10,000 cases
which may have been affected. | 0:07:23 | 0:07:25 | |
The problem has already led
to about 50 prosecutions | 0:07:25 | 0:07:27 | |
being ended, but there are fears
there could be many more. | 0:07:27 | 0:07:30 | |
The suspected manipulation
by employees emerged earlier this | 0:07:30 | 0:07:32 | |
year when a data anomaly in a drug
driving case was reported. | 0:07:32 | 0:07:38 | |
Let's speak to our home affairs
correspondent Daniel Sandford. | 0:07:38 | 0:07:42 | |
Tell us more. | 0:07:42 | 0:07:48 | |
As many people know, forensic
science is at the heart of the | 0:07:48 | 0:07:53 | |
criminal justice system. Many cases
rely on the decisions made by | 0:07:53 | 0:07:58 | |
forensic scientists in order to
decide whether somebody is guilty or | 0:07:58 | 0:08:02 | |
innocent of crime and this is
perhaps the most damaging example of | 0:08:02 | 0:08:07 | |
that system being undermined,
certainly in terms of the number of | 0:08:07 | 0:08:10 | |
cases that have been affected.
Around 10,000 cases of drug testing | 0:08:10 | 0:08:20 | |
are now regarded as unreliable. The
good news is that as the system has | 0:08:20 | 0:08:26 | |
worked through those cases and tried
to work out where there may be the | 0:08:26 | 0:08:30 | |
most serious incidences of
miscarriages of justice, they're | 0:08:30 | 0:08:33 | |
actually haven't been many cases
that have come to light. Around 50 | 0:08:33 | 0:08:38 | |
live cases which were due to come to
the courts have now been | 0:08:38 | 0:08:43 | |
discontinued. The Crown Prosecution
Service has decided not to continue | 0:08:43 | 0:08:46 | |
with those and there are two cases
where people have been convicted of | 0:08:46 | 0:08:51 | |
death by careless driving which are
now going back to the Court of | 0:08:51 | 0:08:55 | |
Appeal, but certainly this has been
something that has severely | 0:08:55 | 0:08:59 | |
undermined confidence in the system
and that will take some rebuilding. | 0:08:59 | 0:09:03 | |
Daniel, thank you. | 0:09:03 | 0:09:04 | |
Senior Cabinet ministers have
agreed that Britain should | 0:09:04 | 0:09:06 | |
increase its financial offer
to the EU the so-called | 0:09:06 | 0:09:09 | |
Brexit divorce bill,
but the offer will stand | 0:09:09 | 0:09:12 | |
only if member states
agree next month to move | 0:09:12 | 0:09:14 | |
on to talks about trade
and an implementation period. | 0:09:14 | 0:09:16 | |
This morning, the Brexit Secretary
repeated his intention to reach | 0:09:16 | 0:09:19 | |
a deal but said ministers were also
prepared for no deal. | 0:09:19 | 0:09:22 | |
Our Political Correspondent Alex
Forsyth reports from Westminster. | 0:09:22 | 0:09:24 | |
How much is what you want worth? The
UK is preparing to increase the | 0:09:24 | 0:09:29 | |
amount it will pay to the EU to
settle its accounts but only if in | 0:09:29 | 0:09:34 | |
return Brexit talks move on to
trade. We are ready to move on phase | 0:09:34 | 0:09:39 | |
two, to see those talks about a deep
and special partnership with the EU | 0:09:39 | 0:09:44 | |
for the future, a comprehensive
trade agreement with the EU for the | 0:09:44 | 0:09:47 | |
future which is in the interests of
the UK and the remaining EU 27. | 0:09:47 | 0:09:54 | |
While there is no official figure,
it is thought senior ministers | 0:09:54 | 0:09:57 | |
agreed to increase the offer last
night, including some Brexiteers in | 0:09:57 | 0:10:02 | |
the Cabinet although some on the
backbenchers warned agreeing too | 0:10:02 | 0:10:06 | |
much too early would give the EU an
advantage. It's as if they want us | 0:10:06 | 0:10:11 | |
to pay the ransom money but still be
hostage to the European Union. | 0:10:11 | 0:10:17 | |
Michel Barnier must recognise we are
leaving the European Union and will | 0:10:17 | 0:10:20 | |
only pay what we are Jukes. For
others, the priority is getting | 0:10:20 | 0:10:25 | |
things moving. You don't go into a
pub, order a round of drinks, decide | 0:10:25 | 0:10:31 | |
you don't want them, walk out and
not pay for it so it's important we | 0:10:31 | 0:10:35 | |
accept that as a principal,
hopefully get a formula to express | 0:10:35 | 0:10:42 | |
that but then move on. EU leaders
wanted sufficient progress in three | 0:10:42 | 0:10:47 | |
areas before agreeing to talk trade.
The so-called divorce Bill, the | 0:10:47 | 0:10:51 | |
question of the Irish border, and
citizen 's rights. It remains to be | 0:10:51 | 0:10:56 | |
seen whether any offer Number Ten
has on payment will be enough but | 0:10:56 | 0:10:59 | |
the Government is clear - it is
prepared to move but only if the EU | 0:10:59 | 0:11:05 | |
does too. The Brexit Secretary said
today it is not possible to agree | 0:11:05 | 0:11:09 | |
all aspects of the so-called
separation without discussing future | 0:11:09 | 0:11:14 | |
relations. The Northern Irish border
cannot be addressed if we cannot | 0:11:14 | 0:11:19 | |
take into account the shape of our
future partnership with the European | 0:11:19 | 0:11:24 | |
Union. Financial settlement depends
on it because nothing is agreed | 0:11:24 | 0:11:27 | |
until everything is agreed. The way
forward is still uncertain and today | 0:11:27 | 0:11:31 | |
there was a warning to some not to
use the delicate issue of the Irish | 0:11:31 | 0:11:36 | |
border as a negotiating tool. You
don't play around with Northern | 0:11:36 | 0:11:40 | |
Ireland to effect change in other
places, and actually I would like to | 0:11:40 | 0:11:45 | |
see the Irish government working
with Northern Ireland and the | 0:11:45 | 0:11:49 | |
Westminster government to bring
about a Brexit that works for | 0:11:49 | 0:11:53 | |
Northern Ireland but also for the
Republic of Ireland. Getting a deal | 0:11:53 | 0:11:57 | |
is what all sides want. It seems
someone is going to have to give a | 0:11:57 | 0:12:02 | |
little but no one is prepared to pay
any price. | 0:12:02 | 0:12:07 | |
Let's speak to our our Assistant
Political Editor Norman Smith. | 0:12:07 | 0:12:10 | |
Norman, how is all of
this being received? | 0:12:10 | 0:12:15 | |
So far, there have been no cries of
betrayal or treachery directed at | 0:12:15 | 0:12:21 | |
Boris Johnson and Michael Gove, the
Brexiteers in the cabinet, but there | 0:12:21 | 0:12:25 | |
is a clear contrast between their
stance and the views of Brexiteers | 0:12:25 | 0:12:30 | |
on backbenchers where many are up in
arms at the idea of paying billions | 0:12:30 | 0:12:34 | |
more to the EU as part of these
divorce negotiations. Won this | 0:12:34 | 0:12:39 | |
morning saying we need to be able to
look our constituents in the eye at | 0:12:39 | 0:12:44 | |
the time of tight public spending
constraints. Others take the view of | 0:12:44 | 0:12:48 | |
the EU is in turmoil because of the
uncertainty surrounding the German | 0:12:48 | 0:12:53 | |
Chancellor's position and she is
central to agreeing any progress in | 0:12:53 | 0:13:03 | |
talks so better to sit back and let
the EU sweat it out. Boris Johnson | 0:13:03 | 0:13:06 | |
and Michael Gove however have
decided more cash has to be put on | 0:13:06 | 0:13:08 | |
the table if we are to press on to
trade talks, even though no figure | 0:13:08 | 0:13:11 | |
is likely to be unveiled until the
very last moment. As for Mrs May, I | 0:13:11 | 0:13:18 | |
think she can probably talk this one
down as a bit of a win because she | 0:13:18 | 0:13:23 | |
has bounced the Brexiteers in the
Cabinet into backing her, when they | 0:13:23 | 0:13:28 | |
could have sided with their
backbenchers and torpedoed any deal. | 0:13:28 | 0:13:33 | |
Whether the EU negotiators will be
similarly accommodating, we will | 0:13:33 | 0:13:37 | |
find out soon enough. Norman, thank
you. | 0:13:37 | 0:13:42 | |
A drugs company has been accused
of overcharging the NHS | 0:13:42 | 0:13:44 | |
by millions of pounds a year
for a key thyroid treatment. | 0:13:44 | 0:13:47 | |
The Competition and Markets
Authority claims that Concordia | 0:13:47 | 0:13:49 | |
abused its position. | 0:13:49 | 0:13:50 | |
It says the NHS spent £34 million
on a thyroid drug last year, | 0:13:50 | 0:13:56 | |
up from around £600,000 in 2006. | 0:13:56 | 0:13:58 | |
Concordia says it "does not believe
competition law has been infringed". | 0:13:58 | 0:14:00 | |
Our Health Editor Hugh Pym is here. | 0:14:00 | 0:14:04 | |
That's an enormous leap
in price for the same drug. | 0:14:04 | 0:14:06 | |
How's that happened? | 0:14:06 | 0:14:10 | |
The way the drugs industry works is
that if you have the patent to a | 0:14:10 | 0:14:15 | |
drug it is your exclusive product
and you can set the price although | 0:14:15 | 0:14:19 | |
patent it drugs, the price is capped
in an agreement with the Government | 0:14:19 | 0:14:23 | |
here in the UK. When it goes generic
as it's known, in other words anyone | 0:14:23 | 0:14:28 | |
can make that drug, it's assumed the
price will fall. What seems to have | 0:14:28 | 0:14:34 | |
happened in a number of cases for
niche drugs like this one is a | 0:14:34 | 0:14:38 | |
company comes in, buys | 0:14:38 | 0:14:49 | |
the right to market it, no one else
bothers to compete so it pushes up | 0:14:49 | 0:14:52 | |
the price and but allegedly is
what's happened here. The views of | 0:14:52 | 0:14:55 | |
the regulator are that Concordia
abused its position, and a 6000% | 0:14:55 | 0:14:57 | |
increase over ten years to the NHS.
One consultant I spoke to earlier | 0:14:57 | 0:15:02 | |
explained the big difference in
prices when he went elsewhere in the | 0:15:02 | 0:15:05 | |
European Union. | 0:15:05 | 0:15:09 | |
Historically liothyronine
was probably a cost to the NHS | 0:15:09 | 0:15:11 | |
of about £20 to £30 a month. | 0:15:11 | 0:15:13 | |
The new cost was over £300 a month. | 0:15:13 | 0:15:15 | |
The patients were telling me
they could go to a foreign capital | 0:15:15 | 0:15:18 | |
and buy it for £5 a month,
so there was a massive difference | 0:15:18 | 0:15:21 | |
in what the NHS was being charged
versus what people were accessing | 0:15:21 | 0:15:24 | |
at a European level. | 0:15:24 | 0:15:30 | |
What Concordia, the company involved
says, is it doesn't believe there | 0:15:30 | 0:15:34 | |
was any breach of competition law,
that it's been open in its | 0:15:34 | 0:15:38 | |
transactions with the Department of
Health and points out it only bought | 0:15:38 | 0:15:41 | |
the rights to this drug two years
ago. There were other companies | 0:15:41 | 0:15:45 | |
involved before. The Competition and
Markets Authority says it's looking | 0:15:45 | 0:15:50 | |
at a number of cases like this the
sector. | 0:15:50 | 0:15:53 | |
The time is 13:16. | 0:15:53 | 0:15:54 | |
Our top story this lunchtime: | 0:15:54 | 0:15:55 | |
Impeachment proceedings are under
way against Zimbabwe's leader, | 0:15:55 | 0:15:57 | |
Robert Mugabe, who's still refusing
to stand down. | 0:15:57 | 0:15:59 | |
And coming up... | 0:15:59 | 0:16:00 | |
A voyage to a new life -
a dance company dramatises | 0:16:00 | 0:16:03 | |
the journey of the SS Windrush,
nearly 70 years ago. | 0:16:03 | 0:16:09 | |
And coming up in the sport in
the next 15 minutes on BBC News... | 0:16:09 | 0:16:15 | |
One of Great Britain's best female
divers, Tonia Couch, calls it a day. | 0:16:15 | 0:16:18 | |
The former European champion
is going to move into coaching. | 0:16:18 | 0:16:27 | |
For the first time in 12 years,
BBC News has been granted permission | 0:16:27 | 0:16:30 | |
to report from inside Uzbekistan. | 0:16:30 | 0:16:34 | |
The country has been
in the spotlight after several | 0:16:34 | 0:16:36 | |
terror acts around the world
were committed by its citizens. | 0:16:36 | 0:16:42 | |
Sayfullo Saipov, who killed eight
people in New York last month, | 0:16:42 | 0:16:44 | |
is the most recent Uzbek thought
to be behind an attack. | 0:16:44 | 0:16:47 | |
In January, a shooting
at a nightclub in Istanbul | 0:16:47 | 0:16:49 | |
left 39 people dead. | 0:16:49 | 0:16:54 | |
The gunman was from Uzbekistan. | 0:16:54 | 0:16:55 | |
In April, a vehicle was driven
into shoppers at a department | 0:16:55 | 0:16:58 | |
store in Stockholm. | 0:16:58 | 0:16:59 | |
Four people were killed. | 0:16:59 | 0:17:00 | |
Uzbek national Rakhmat Akilov
confessed to the attack. | 0:17:00 | 0:17:02 | |
The former Soviet state,
in Central Asia, tightly | 0:17:02 | 0:17:04 | |
controls the media. | 0:17:04 | 0:17:06 | |
But now the BBC has been able
to visit the neighbourhood | 0:17:06 | 0:17:09 | |
the New York attacker came from. | 0:17:09 | 0:17:10 | |
Will Vernon reports. | 0:17:10 | 0:17:15 | |
It's one of the most secretive
nations in the world. | 0:17:15 | 0:17:18 | |
Uzbekistan, famous for its ancient
Islamic architecture. | 0:17:18 | 0:17:23 | |
But this country is also the home
of several men involved in terrorist | 0:17:23 | 0:17:26 | |
attacks in the West in recent years. | 0:17:26 | 0:17:32 | |
It was the deadliest attack
targeting New York since 9/11. | 0:17:32 | 0:17:34 | |
Eight people died when a truck
was driven into a crowd | 0:17:34 | 0:17:37 | |
on a cycle path in Manhattan. | 0:17:37 | 0:17:42 | |
US authorities say that 29-year-old
Sayfullo Saipov, from Uzbekistan, | 0:17:42 | 0:17:49 | |
carried out the attack in the name
of the Islamic State group. | 0:17:49 | 0:17:52 | |
We travelled to Uzbekistan and
tracked down those who knew Saipov. | 0:17:52 | 0:17:56 | |
We found his mother at the family
home in a middle-class neighbourhood | 0:17:56 | 0:18:00 | |
in the capital, Tashkent. | 0:18:00 | 0:18:01 | |
She didn't want to be filmed. | 0:18:01 | 0:18:04 | |
But away from the camera,
she told me Saipov was a kind young | 0:18:04 | 0:18:07 | |
man who loved his family. | 0:18:07 | 0:18:08 | |
Saipov's mother can't accept her son
is a terrorist and says she wants | 0:18:08 | 0:18:11 | |
to believe that what happened
was an accident. | 0:18:11 | 0:18:16 | |
TRANSLATION: We were shocked
and anxious when we heard | 0:18:16 | 0:18:19 | |
that he was involved in this
business because, before | 0:18:19 | 0:18:21 | |
he left Uzbekistan, he was
a completely different person. | 0:18:21 | 0:18:24 | |
So I can't imagine what could have
influenced him so much. | 0:18:24 | 0:18:32 | |
At the local school,
Saipov is remembered fondly. | 0:18:32 | 0:18:39 | |
He stayed after classes
and he had extra lessons, | 0:18:39 | 0:18:42 | |
maybe sometimes English lessons,
but never he spoke about | 0:18:42 | 0:18:51 | |
the religious things,
that he's trying to go to some place | 0:18:51 | 0:18:54 | |
because of religious purposes,
I have never heard about it. | 0:18:54 | 0:18:56 | |
The BBC was given permission
to report from Uzbekistan | 0:18:56 | 0:18:59 | |
for the first time in 12 years. | 0:18:59 | 0:19:01 | |
After decades of repressive rule,
the country appears | 0:19:01 | 0:19:03 | |
to be opening up. | 0:19:03 | 0:19:11 | |
The vast majority
of Uzbeks are Muslim. | 0:19:11 | 0:19:17 | |
The government tightly controls
religious life and all clerics must | 0:19:17 | 0:19:20 | |
be registered with the authorities. | 0:19:20 | 0:19:22 | |
Terrorist attacks committed within
Uzbekistan are almost unheard of. | 0:19:22 | 0:19:29 | |
But thousands of Uzbeks
are in prison for extremism. | 0:19:29 | 0:19:31 | |
Human rights groups say many
are simply political opponents. | 0:19:31 | 0:19:33 | |
But Uzbek migrants have been
responsible for several deadly | 0:19:33 | 0:19:37 | |
terrorist attacks in the West
in the last few years. | 0:19:37 | 0:19:41 | |
Officials in Tashkent tell us
the men involved in these killings | 0:19:41 | 0:19:44 | |
were all radicalised abroad. | 0:19:44 | 0:19:48 | |
TRANSLATION: Uzbek migrants
living abroad still feel | 0:19:48 | 0:19:51 | |
like strangers in a foreign land. | 0:19:51 | 0:19:53 | |
Here, we have strong
traditions of community. | 0:19:53 | 0:19:57 | |
In the case of Saipov,
someone must have approached him | 0:19:57 | 0:19:59 | |
and told him what to do. | 0:19:59 | 0:20:02 | |
The authorities say that they're
working with Uzbeks abroad | 0:20:02 | 0:20:04 | |
in order to combat those
feelings of alienation. | 0:20:04 | 0:20:08 | |
In the hope that others will not
succumb to extremism. | 0:20:08 | 0:20:11 | |
With often tragic consequences. | 0:20:11 | 0:20:12 | |
Will Vernon, BBC News, Uzbekistan. | 0:20:12 | 0:20:19 | |
President Trump has declared
North Korea a state | 0:20:19 | 0:20:21 | |
sponsor of terrorism,
nine years after it was | 0:20:21 | 0:20:23 | |
removed from the list. | 0:20:23 | 0:20:24 | |
Mr Trump said the move would trigger
"very large" additional sanctions, | 0:20:24 | 0:20:28 | |
and blamed the country's nuclear
programme, and support | 0:20:28 | 0:20:30 | |
for what he called 'international
acts of terrorism'. | 0:20:30 | 0:20:32 | |
Today, the United States
is designating North Korea | 0:20:32 | 0:20:34 | |
as a state sponsor of terrorism. | 0:20:34 | 0:20:40 | |
Should have happened
a long time ago. | 0:20:40 | 0:20:42 | |
Should have happened years ago. | 0:20:42 | 0:20:44 | |
In addition to threatening the world
by nuclear devastation, | 0:20:44 | 0:20:47 | |
North Korea has repeatedly supported
acts of international | 0:20:47 | 0:20:50 | |
terrorism, including
assassinations on foreign soil. | 0:20:50 | 0:20:57 | |
Paul Adams is in Seoul. | 0:20:57 | 0:21:00 | |
China, Japan and South Korea have
all given their reactions. | 0:21:00 | 0:21:03 | |
What have they said in response? | 0:21:03 | 0:21:07 | |
The first thing to say is this is
not a great surprise. Donald Trump | 0:21:07 | 0:21:11 | |
said he would do it and he put it
off a couple of times so people were | 0:21:11 | 0:21:14 | |
ready for this move. And his allies
in the region, Shinzo Abe was very | 0:21:14 | 0:21:22 | |
supportive. The Government in South
Korea was more nuanced and they said | 0:21:22 | 0:21:27 | |
it what hope to promote the
denuclearisation of the peninsular | 0:21:27 | 0:21:30 | |
and was clinging to the idea of
dialogue with North Korea, hinting | 0:21:30 | 0:21:33 | |
at the tensions that exist between
the implacable approach of Donald | 0:21:33 | 0:21:36 | |
Trump and slightly more softly
softly approach of the South Korean | 0:21:36 | 0:21:42 | |
government. China, it sounded a bit
of a warning, saying the country | 0:21:42 | 0:21:46 | |
should avoid doing things that raise
tensions in the region. And from | 0:21:46 | 0:21:50 | |
North Korea, we had colourful
rhetoric. Those who working to | 0:21:50 | 0:21:55 | |
thwart North Korean progress, it
said, was simply making North Korea | 0:21:55 | 0:21:59 | |
stronger. And the result would be a
great miracle that would the world. | 0:21:59 | 0:22:03 | |
It has been a couple of months and
the world was last startled by a | 0:22:03 | 0:22:08 | |
North Korean missile test and people
have begun to wonder whether we | 0:22:08 | 0:22:11 | |
might be moving into a phase of
dialogue. And all eyes over the | 0:22:11 | 0:22:15 | |
weekend were on a Chinese envoy who
went to North Korea for four days of | 0:22:15 | 0:22:20 | |
talks and he seems to have left
yesterday without meeting a North | 0:22:20 | 0:22:25 | |
Korean leader Kim Jong-un and most
people in the region took that to be | 0:22:25 | 0:22:28 | |
a rather negative sign. OK, thank
you. | 0:22:28 | 0:22:37 | |
Well, Donald Trump will later speak
with the Russian President | 0:22:37 | 0:22:40 | |
on the issue of Syria,
after Vladimir Putin said the defeat | 0:22:40 | 0:22:42 | |
of the so-called Islamic State
group there is close. | 0:22:42 | 0:22:46 | |
The Russian President was speaking
in Sochi, where he met | 0:22:46 | 0:22:49 | |
Syria's President Assad,
who was on an unannounced visit. | 0:22:49 | 0:22:53 | |
Mr Putin said he wanted to hear
the Syrian leader's views | 0:22:53 | 0:22:55 | |
on the peace process. | 0:22:55 | 0:23:00 | |
Workers at the University of London,
including porters and receptionists, | 0:23:00 | 0:23:03 | |
The first Ashes Test starts
in Australia on Thursday and, | 0:23:05 | 0:23:07 | |
already, there's some tough sporting
talk from the players. | 0:23:07 | 0:23:10 | |
England will be without their
all-rounder Ben Stokes for the first | 0:23:10 | 0:23:16 | |
Test, following his arrest
in September after an incident | 0:23:16 | 0:23:18 | |
outside a Bristol nightclub. | 0:23:18 | 0:23:19 | |
Our sports correspondent,
Andy Swiss, is in Brisbane. | 0:23:19 | 0:23:25 | |
Yes, welcome to Brisbane, where
thousands of England fans are | 0:23:25 | 0:23:27 | |
currently descending on the city.
Just 36 hours now until the start of | 0:23:27 | 0:23:33 | |
the Ashes and already, no shortage
of fighting talk. Especially from | 0:23:33 | 0:23:38 | |
Australia. Their spin bowler make
them lie they want to end the | 0:23:38 | 0:23:43 | |
careers of some good players. He is
also accusing England of being | 0:23:43 | 0:23:48 | |
scared last time they played in
Australia four years ago. Alastair | 0:23:48 | 0:23:52 | |
Cook was the England captain back
then and he is playing again in this | 0:23:52 | 0:23:56 | |
series and he saw the funny side. | 0:23:56 | 0:24:00 | |
It's really strange, you know. | 0:24:00 | 0:24:03 | |
I had a nice ten-minute chat
with Nathan, as he was the first | 0:24:03 | 0:24:07 | |
person I saw when I got
to the ground. | 0:24:07 | 0:24:09 | |
He asked me how my kids were,
how his kids were and stuff, | 0:24:09 | 0:24:12 | |
so it's quite funny, isn't it? | 0:24:12 | 0:24:13 | |
It just makes me chuckle, I suppose. | 0:24:13 | 0:24:15 | |
It makes everyone chuckle. | 0:24:15 | 0:24:16 | |
Do you think it is out
of character, then? | 0:24:16 | 0:24:18 | |
Is it put on? | 0:24:18 | 0:24:19 | |
I don't know, you're
going to have to ask him. | 0:24:19 | 0:24:22 | |
It's not that, it is
what it is, isn't it? | 0:24:22 | 0:24:24 | |
All the talking stops very quickly
and the series becomes a normal | 0:24:24 | 0:24:27 | |
series after the first two hours,
I think, you know. | 0:24:27 | 0:24:29 | |
It's all the... | 0:24:29 | 0:24:30 | |
Suddenly, you talk
about the cricket again, | 0:24:30 | 0:24:32 | |
rather than the off-field stuff. | 0:24:32 | 0:24:33 | |
Yes, England hoping to do rather
better than the last time they were | 0:24:33 | 0:24:36 | |
in Australia, when they were beaten
5-0. But they have not had an easy | 0:24:36 | 0:24:40 | |
build-up with the controversy
surrounding their star all-rounder | 0:24:40 | 0:24:43 | |
Ben Stokes who is back in the UK
under police investigation after an | 0:24:43 | 0:24:47 | |
incident outside a nightclub act in
September. His absence here had been | 0:24:47 | 0:24:52 | |
very much the big talking point.
Australia's Vice-captain is David | 0:24:52 | 0:24:56 | |
Warner and he says he would like to
see Ben Stokes play some part in | 0:24:56 | 0:25:00 | |
this series, but he was critical of
his behaviour. | 0:25:00 | 0:25:03 | |
I think it's probably
disappointing for the England | 0:25:03 | 0:25:05 | |
team and the country,
I think. | 0:25:05 | 0:25:06 | |
You know, he's let
a lot of people down. | 0:25:06 | 0:25:12 | |
I would have loved for him to be
out here because I know | 0:25:12 | 0:25:16 | |
what a competitor he is on the field
and he's a world-class player. | 0:25:16 | 0:25:19 | |
But at the end of the day,
we've got, you know, | 0:25:19 | 0:25:22 | |
another 11 guys that will take
the field on Thursday. | 0:25:22 | 0:25:24 | |
And we're excited. | 0:25:24 | 0:25:25 | |
We obviously respect our opposition. | 0:25:25 | 0:25:26 | |
They've picked the best team
that they feel is going to be | 0:25:26 | 0:25:29 | |
here to try and beat us. | 0:25:29 | 0:25:33 | |
Yes, David Warner is a key player
for Australia, although there is a | 0:25:33 | 0:25:37 | |
question over his fitness after he
injured his neck during training | 0:25:37 | 0:25:41 | |
this morning. But whoever plays, it
is a daunting prospect for England. | 0:25:41 | 0:25:46 | |
Australia have an incredible record
here in Brisbane. In fact, they have | 0:25:46 | 0:25:51 | |
not lost a Test match here in nearly
30 years. They will be the red-hot | 0:25:51 | 0:25:55 | |
favourites when the first migratory
gets under way here on Thursday | 0:25:55 | 0:25:59 | |
morning.
We shall look forward to that, thank | 0:25:59 | 0:26:01 | |
you very much. | 0:26:01 | 0:26:03 | |
And an exciting finish
for England's women Down Under, | 0:26:03 | 0:26:07 | |
as they chased down a record 179
to beat Australia in the final T20 | 0:26:07 | 0:26:11 | |
match in the Ashes series. | 0:26:11 | 0:26:16 | |
It is in the air! It is through! A
win for England, the highest ever... | 0:26:16 | 0:26:21 | |
Danni Wyatt scored a century. | 0:26:21 | 0:26:29 | |
It means the teams ended
with eight points each, | 0:26:29 | 0:26:31 | |
but Australia keep the Ashes
as they're the holders. | 0:26:31 | 0:26:34 | |
The security company G4S has
commissioned an independent inquiry | 0:26:34 | 0:26:36 | |
into the "attitude and behaviour"
of staff at one of its | 0:26:36 | 0:26:38 | |
immigration removal centres. | 0:26:38 | 0:26:39 | |
Detainees at Brook House,
near Gatwick Airport, | 0:26:39 | 0:26:41 | |
were filmed by the BBC's Panorama
programme apparently being mocked, | 0:26:41 | 0:26:44 | |
abused and assaulted. | 0:26:44 | 0:26:46 | |
Railcards offering discounted train
travel are to be extended | 0:26:46 | 0:26:48 | |
to people up to 30 years old. | 0:26:48 | 0:26:50 | |
The Chancellor, Philip Hammond,
is expected to announce | 0:26:50 | 0:26:52 | |
the extension in tomorrow's Budget. | 0:26:52 | 0:26:54 | |
At the moment, the Young Persons'
Railcard is only available to people | 0:26:54 | 0:26:57 | |
between the ages of 16 and 25. | 0:26:57 | 0:27:00 | |
It's thought the so-called
'millennials' card' will be | 0:27:00 | 0:27:02 | |
available in the spring next year. | 0:27:02 | 0:27:09 | |
Next year marks the 70th anniversary
of the SS Empire Windrush, | 0:27:09 | 0:27:12 | |
which brought the first major wave
of post-war Caribbean | 0:27:12 | 0:27:15 | |
immigrants to the UK. | 0:27:15 | 0:27:17 | |
To mark the occasion,
a dance company in Leeds is turning | 0:27:17 | 0:27:20 | |
the voyage into a show. | 0:27:20 | 0:27:26 | |
They've enlisted the help
of someone who was on the ship | 0:27:26 | 0:27:28 | |
in 1948, to help to tell the story. | 0:27:28 | 0:27:30 | |
Our entertainment correspondent,
Colin Paterson, has been | 0:27:30 | 0:27:32 | |
to rehearsals to find out more. | 0:27:32 | 0:27:33 | |
The Empire Windrush brings
to Britain 500 Jamaicans. | 0:27:33 | 0:27:35 | |
Many are ex-servicemen
who know England. | 0:27:35 | 0:27:37 | |
They served this country well. | 0:27:37 | 0:27:39 | |
History being turned into dance. | 0:27:39 | 0:27:47 | |
Next year is the 70th anniversary
of the Empire Windrush bringing | 0:27:47 | 0:27:50 | |
the first large group of post-war
Caribbean immigrants to the UK. | 0:27:50 | 0:27:53 | |
Swing, swing. | 0:27:53 | 0:27:55 | |
Don't go too soon. | 0:27:55 | 0:27:58 | |
Sharon Watson is the
Artistic Director of | 0:27:58 | 0:27:59 | |
Phoenix Dance Company, in Leeds. | 0:27:59 | 0:28:02 | |
She was inspired by her own mother's
journey from Jamaica in the '60s | 0:28:02 | 0:28:06 | |
and decided to create a piece
all about Windrush. | 0:28:06 | 0:28:10 | |
It really does resonate
with our family, in terms | 0:28:10 | 0:28:20 | |
of having to leave a home,
a place, where you've | 0:28:25 | 0:28:27 | |
got all your family. | 0:28:27 | 0:28:28 | |
Relocating somewhere new,
somewhere different. | 0:28:28 | 0:28:29 | |
So I've picked her
brain considerably. | 0:28:29 | 0:28:31 | |
Her mum had come along to see
the work in progress, | 0:28:31 | 0:28:33 | |
and it was bringing back memories
of her own arrival in the UK. | 0:28:33 | 0:28:37 | |
You could see icicles hanging
down from the windows, | 0:28:37 | 0:28:39 | |
which you don't see now. | 0:28:39 | 0:28:40 | |
I didn't think I could manage
the big coat and the big boots. | 0:28:40 | 0:28:43 | |
We'd never seen them before. | 0:28:43 | 0:28:44 | |
So it was a bit unusual for me. | 0:28:44 | 0:28:46 | |
Members of Leeds' Caribbean
community had also been invited, | 0:28:46 | 0:28:48 | |
so they could give feedback based
on their own voyages. | 0:28:48 | 0:28:53 | |
That Windrush there,
it reminds me so much. | 0:28:53 | 0:28:55 | |
Like sardines packed in that boat! | 0:28:55 | 0:29:00 | |
And they are thrilled the story
will be on stage next February. | 0:29:00 | 0:29:05 | |
When the younger people come
and see what's going on, | 0:29:05 | 0:29:14 | |
they understand what we,
the old ladies and old gentlemen, | 0:29:14 | 0:29:17 | |
had to go through. | 0:29:17 | 0:29:18 | |
So this is Leeds, 1940... | 0:29:18 | 0:29:19 | |
1948. | 0:29:19 | 0:29:20 | |
Phoenix Dance Company has
also made a discovery | 0:29:20 | 0:29:22 | |
they hope will help the show. | 0:29:22 | 0:29:25 | |
Alford Gardiner is 91,
lives in Leeds, and actually | 0:29:25 | 0:29:27 | |
came over on Windrush. | 0:29:27 | 0:29:29 | |
He's agreed to share his memories,
to help shape the production. | 0:29:29 | 0:29:32 | |
He was a mechanic in the RAF in
Britain during the Second World War | 0:29:32 | 0:29:36 | |
and a lack of work at home made him
want to come back. | 0:29:36 | 0:29:42 | |
The thing is, in Jamaica
at the time, if you haven't got | 0:29:42 | 0:29:45 | |
a job, you're a nobody. | 0:29:45 | 0:29:47 | |
What was it like on Windrush? | 0:29:47 | 0:29:52 | |
We had six ex-Army boys who wanted
to commandeer our money. | 0:29:52 | 0:29:57 | |
Between us, we got them on the boat. | 0:29:57 | 0:30:00 | |
So, we were busy hiding them
when they're checking up. | 0:30:00 | 0:30:05 | |
So, three men in a toilet hiding! | 0:30:05 | 0:30:08 | |
Well, that's it, it's
part of history now. | 0:30:08 | 0:30:10 | |
It is history. | 0:30:10 | 0:30:12 | |
And 70 years on, Alford,
who worked in factories | 0:30:12 | 0:30:14 | |
and had nine children,
thinks getting on Windrush | 0:30:14 | 0:30:16 | |
was a great decision. | 0:30:16 | 0:30:20 | |
You strike me as a man
who has enjoyed life. | 0:30:20 | 0:30:22 | |
And I'm still enjoying it. | 0:30:22 | 0:30:24 | |
And I will always enjoy it. | 0:30:24 | 0:30:27 | |

Beautiful. | 0:30:35 | 0:30:35 | |
Beautiful. | 0:30:35 | 0:30:36 | |
Time for a look at the weather. | 0:30:36 | 0:30:38 | |
Thank you, good afternoon.
Changeable weather over the next few | 0:30:41 | 0:30:47 | |
days and we started with mild
temperatures as well. Yesterday, we | 0:30:47 | 0:30:52 | |
recorded 17 degrees Celsius in
Nantwich, Cheshire. The average is | 0:30:52 | 0:30:57 | |
nine Celsius. We have cloud with
that, that is feeding in from the | 0:30:57 | 0:31:01 | |
Atlantic. Outbreaks of rain and
windy conditions. Firmly in this | 0:31:01 | 0:31:07 | |
mild air from the South, with mild
temperatures. This afternoon, we | 0:31:07 | 0:31:13 | |
have got rain in the North and rain
feeding into Wales and North West | 0:31:13 | 0:31:17 | |
England. Temperatures today at a
maximum of 14, perhaps 15 Celsius, | 0:31:17 | 0:31:22 | |
where we see breaks in the cloud.
This evening and overnight, Cody | 0:31:22 | 0:31:25 | |
outbreaks of rain, across Scotland
and Wales into the Midlands and East | 0:31:25 | 0:31:31 | |
Anglia, more rain pushing into the
West into Northern Ireland and Wales | 0:31:31 | 0:31:35 | |
and North West England into the
early hours. A mild night in the | 0:31:35 | 0:31:40 | |
South, temperatures in double
figures. Cooler in the North. And | 0:31:40 | 0:31:43 | |
into the early hours, for England
and Wales, the wind picks up. So | 0:31:43 | 0:31:48 | |
tomorrow morning at rush hour, some
outbreaks of rain in the far North, | 0:31:48 | 0:31:52 | |
but largely dry across much of
Northern and Central Scotland. | 0:31:52 | 0:31:56 | |
Starting to see rain pushing into
Southern Scotland, Northern Ireland, | 0:31:56 | 0:32:01 | |
North West England and the North of
Wales, that could be heavy at | 0:32:01 | 0:32:04 | |
points. Elsewhere across England and
Wales, cloud around, temperatures | 0:32:04 | 0:32:08 | |
quite mild already, a maximum of 14
Celsius. Windy, the wind having | 0:32:08 | 0:32:14 | |
picked up. Weather cloud is thick,
light rain and drizzle possible. A | 0:32:14 | 0:32:19 | |
windy day tomorrow across England
and Wales, possibly costs of 60 mph | 0:32:19 | 0:32:24 | |
and exposed coasts, outbreaks of
rain across four North West England | 0:32:24 | 0:32:27 | |
and Southern Scotland, and heavy
rain. Bright intervals in the South | 0:32:27 | 0:32:32 | |
and East and more rain into the West
in the afternoon, highs of 15 | 0:32:32 | 0:32:38 | |
Celsius. Overnight into the early
hours of Thursday, some colder air | 0:32:38 | 0:32:43 | |
so the return of something a bit
cooler from the North which means by | 0:32:43 | 0:32:47 | |
the time we start Thursday, there is
the possibility of snow over the | 0:32:47 | 0:32:51 | |
hills in Scotland and also perhaps
down to low levels in the North. | 0:32:51 | 0:32:55 | |
Stay tuned to the forecast and we
will keep you up-to-date. Bright | 0:32:55 | 0:32:59 | |
intervals across England and Wales,
rain in the south-west later, highs | 0:32:59 | 0:33:04 | |
of around 14, 15 Celsius. Friday,
cooler temperatures into the North, | 0:33:04 | 0:33:08 | |
perhaps holding on to double figures
in the South. But by Saturday, | 0:33:08 | 0:33:13 | |
everybody is firmly in the cooler
air. | 0:33:13 | 0:33:16 | |
Thank you very much indeed. | 0:33:16 | 0:33:17 | |
A reminder of our main
story this lunchtime: | 0:33:17 | 0:33:20 | |
Impeachment proceedings are underway
against Zimbabwe's leader, | 0:33:20 | 0:33:22 | |
Robert Mugabe, who's still refusing
to stand down. | 0:33:22 | 0:33:26 |
