Under huge pressure -
the Prime Minister scrambles | 0:00:05 | 0:00:07 | |
to find a solution after failing
to reach a deal | 0:00:07 | 0:00:10 | |
at the Brexit talks in Brussels. | 0:00:10 | 0:00:13 | |
The Cabinet's been briefed this
morning after discussions stalled | 0:00:13 | 0:00:15 | |
when the DUP said it would not
accept the proposed deal | 0:00:15 | 0:00:17 | |
for the Irish border. | 0:00:17 | 0:00:20 | |
But in the Commons this lunchtime, | 0:00:20 | 0:00:22 | |
the Brexit Secretary, David Davis,
says he's still optimistic. | 0:00:22 | 0:00:32 | |
As was made clear yesterday, all
parties remain confident of reaching | 0:00:32 | 0:00:36 | |
a positive conclusion in the course
of the week. Mr Speaker, what an | 0:00:36 | 0:00:41 | |
embarrassment. The last 24 hours
have given a new meaning to the | 0:00:41 | 0:00:44 | |
phrase coalition of chaos. | 0:00:44 | 0:00:46 | |
We'll be live in Westminster
and Belfast for all the latest. | 0:00:46 | 0:00:49 | |
Also this lunchtime:
A warning for parents, | 0:00:49 | 0:00:51 | |
sex offenders are exploiting
the growing number of children using | 0:00:51 | 0:00:54 | |
of live online streaming services. | 0:00:54 | 0:00:56 | |
Fresh hope for millions
of people with type 2 diabetes - | 0:00:56 | 0:00:59 | |
we'll have the results
of a new trial that doctors | 0:00:59 | 0:01:01 | |
are calling a watershed moment. | 0:01:01 | 0:01:04 | |
Mass evacuations in California - | 0:01:04 | 0:01:05 | |
thousands of people flee their homes
north of Los Angeles | 0:01:05 | 0:01:08 | |
as a fast-moving wildfire
rips through the area. | 0:01:08 | 0:01:16 | |
A glimmer of hope for England at
last in the Ashes as they go into | 0:01:16 | 0:01:20 | |
the final day needing 178 runs to
win the second Test. | 0:01:20 | 0:01:25 | |
And in sport, | 0:01:25 | 0:01:26 | |
we'll find out whether Russia will
be banned from the Winter Olympics. | 0:01:26 | 0:01:29 | |
The IOC will decide
whether state-sponsored doping | 0:01:29 | 0:01:30 | |
is still part of their regime. | 0:01:30 | 0:01:34 | |
Good afternoon and welcome
to the BBC News At One. | 0:01:52 | 0:01:54 | |
"The show is now in London." | 0:01:54 | 0:01:57 | |
That's what the European Commission
said this morning, | 0:01:57 | 0:01:59 | |
as they made it clear
that they were ready to resume talks | 0:01:59 | 0:02:01 | |
as soon as the UK was ready. | 0:02:01 | 0:02:04 | |
When that will be is unclear. | 0:02:04 | 0:02:07 | |
This morning Theresa May
has been briefing the Cabinet | 0:02:07 | 0:02:09 | |
after yesterday's crucial talks
in Brussels ended without a deal | 0:02:09 | 0:02:12 | |
allowing Brexit negotiations
to move onto the next stage. | 0:02:12 | 0:02:16 | |
The Prime Minister had to
pull out of a deal | 0:02:16 | 0:02:19 | |
that would have kick-started
trade talks | 0:02:19 | 0:02:21 | |
after the Democratic Unionist Party
stepped in and rejected it. | 0:02:21 | 0:02:23 | |
Our political correspondent Iain
Watson reports from Westminster. | 0:02:23 | 0:02:32 | |
Labour has branded the Government
and embarrassing and, but the Brexit | 0:02:32 | 0:02:36 | |
Secretary who was confident of
sufficient progress this week. -- an | 0:02:36 | 0:02:40 | |
embarrassment. | 0:02:40 | 0:02:43 | |
It is 320 miles long with almost as
many crossing points, but the | 0:02:43 | 0:02:47 | |
British and Irish governments do not
want this to become a so-called hard | 0:02:47 | 0:02:50 | |
border after Brexit with customs
posts and checkpoints, but it has | 0:02:50 | 0:02:55 | |
now become painfully apparent that
in the current political landscape, | 0:02:55 | 0:02:59 | |
that is easier said than done. This
morning the Prime Minister said | 0:02:59 | 0:03:03 | |
there were still encouraging signs.
Our talks with the European Union | 0:03:03 | 0:03:08 | |
have made a lot of progress, there
are still a couple of issues we need | 0:03:08 | 0:03:14 | |
to work on. Here is the core of the
problem - the Irish government said | 0:03:14 | 0:03:19 | |
to guarantee there was no hard
border after Brexit, rules and | 0:03:19 | 0:03:23 | |
regulations should remain the same
across the whole island of Ireland, | 0:03:23 | 0:03:26 | |
but the DUP believes this would
create an internal border between | 0:03:26 | 0:03:30 | |
Northern Ireland and the rest of the
UK. They and many Conservatives find | 0:03:30 | 0:03:35 | |
that unacceptable. Well, I don't
know what possibly unwise promises | 0:03:35 | 0:03:39 | |
have been made to the Irish
governance, but it would be | 0:03:39 | 0:03:43 | |
completely unacceptable to the DUP
and many in our party if there was a | 0:03:43 | 0:03:47 | |
separate arrangement for Northern
Ireland. And the views of the DUP | 0:03:47 | 0:03:51 | |
here at Westminster are crucial,
they are propping up Theresa May's | 0:03:51 | 0:04:02 | |
minority government. Downing Street
are confident they can meet the | 0:04:02 | 0:04:04 | |
concerns of their Northern Ireland
allies, but in the House of Commons | 0:04:04 | 0:04:06 | |
today Labour were keen to exploit
the Government's current | 0:04:06 | 0:04:08 | |
difficulties. Mr Speaker, what an
embarrassment. It is wanting, this | 0:04:08 | 0:04:12 | |
despicable, to go to Brussels and
fallout with those on the other side | 0:04:12 | 0:04:17 | |
of the negotiating table, but quite
another to fall out with those | 0:04:17 | 0:04:21 | |
supposedly on your own side of the
negotiating table. We recognise that | 0:04:21 | 0:04:25 | |
as we exit, we must respect the
integrity of the single market and | 0:04:25 | 0:04:29 | |
the customs union, but we must
equally respect the integrity of the | 0:04:29 | 0:04:33 | |
United Kingdom. But a former Labour
Northern Ireland Secretary there is | 0:04:33 | 0:04:40 | |
only one way to solve the problem of
the Irish border. You are not going | 0:04:40 | 0:04:43 | |
to be able to find a solution to the
Irish border problem and less | 0:04:43 | 0:04:45 | |
Unionists feel they are remaining
still within the UK, and that means, | 0:04:45 | 0:04:52 | |
in the same common and customs union
as not just the rest of the UK, but | 0:04:52 | 0:04:56 | |
the Irish Republic and therefore the
European Union as well. There is no | 0:04:56 | 0:05:03 | |
alternative to this. That kind of
deal is unlikely to appeal to the | 0:05:03 | 0:05:07 | |
ministers who voted for Brexit.
Confident of a deal, Mr Johnson? And | 0:05:07 | 0:05:14 | |
Theresa May's Cabinet colleagues
remained tight-lipped on the | 0:05:14 | 0:05:16 | |
prospect of any de la Torre Iain
Watson, BBC News. -- any deal at | 0:05:16 | 0:05:22 | |
all. | 0:05:22 | 0:05:24 | |
In a moment, we'll speak
to our assistant political editor, | 0:05:24 | 0:05:26 | |
Norman Smith, in Westminster, | 0:05:26 | 0:05:28 | |
and our Ireland correspondent Chris
Page. | 0:05:28 | 0:05:32 | |
Will Arlene Foster be talking to the
Prime Minister any time soon? She | 0:05:32 | 0:05:37 | |
was invited to London to talk to the
Prime Minister today, but the deputy | 0:05:37 | 0:05:42 | |
leader, Nigel Dodds will instead
meet with the Chief Whip at | 0:05:42 | 0:05:46 | |
Westminster, and it is expected that
he may will talk to Arlene Foster by | 0:05:46 | 0:05:50 | |
phone today and the Prime Minister
will also telephoned the Sinn Fein | 0:05:50 | 0:05:55 | |
leader here at Stormont, Michelle
O'Neill. The Irish and has been | 0:05:55 | 0:05:59 | |
holding a meeting in Dublin today.
-- the Irish government. Their | 0:05:59 | 0:06:04 | |
foreign affairs Minister said Dublin
wanted to give Britain what he | 0:06:04 | 0:06:07 | |
described as time and space to deal
with difficult political issues, and | 0:06:07 | 0:06:10 | |
he said that the Irish government
were prepared to work with the | 0:06:10 | 0:06:13 | |
British Government on what he
described as presentation issues | 0:06:13 | 0:06:17 | |
around the text that had been agreed
on the Irish border issue, but he | 0:06:17 | 0:06:20 | |
also said that I -- Ireland would
not move away from the core meaning | 0:06:20 | 0:06:27 | |
of what had been agreed. So we have
an indication from the Dublin | 0:06:27 | 0:06:31 | |
government that as regards their
core position on the border | 0:06:31 | 0:06:34 | |
question, they are not prepared to
move on, but they are prepared to | 0:06:34 | 0:06:38 | |
move on the language that is used
whenever the draft document is put | 0:06:38 | 0:06:43 | |
forward for approval. Now, what is
also interesting is that as regards | 0:06:43 | 0:06:48 | |
what the DUP's next move might be,
the Scottish Conservative leader, | 0:06:48 | 0:06:52 | |
Ruth Davidson, has made a statement
today that if regulatory alignment | 0:06:52 | 0:06:58 | |
in the number of areas is the
requirement for a frictionless | 0:06:58 | 0:07:01 | |
border, the Prime Minister should
conclude this must be on a UK wide | 0:07:01 | 0:07:05 | |
basis. Two senior figures in the
DUP, the Chief Whip and a former | 0:07:05 | 0:07:09 | |
Stormont minister, have both
commented on Twitter about that, and | 0:07:09 | 0:07:13 | |
they have basically said that Ruth
Davidson is thinking along the right | 0:07:13 | 0:07:16 | |
lines. So perhaps that is the DUP
signalling that one possible | 0:07:16 | 0:07:19 | |
solution to this might be that the
whole notion of the same rules and | 0:07:19 | 0:07:24 | |
regulations between Northern Ireland
and the Irish Republic could work if | 0:07:24 | 0:07:26 | |
the same rules and regulation is
also applied to England, Scotland | 0:07:26 | 0:07:31 | |
and Wales. Let's talk to Norman
Smith in Westminster, so little time | 0:07:31 | 0:07:36 | |
to do this, and it is far more than
playing with words, with | 0:07:36 | 0:07:40 | |
presentational issues, can Theresa
May rescue it? It is a huge | 0:07:40 | 0:07:45 | |
challenge, and the hope is that when
she gets on the blower to Arlene | 0:07:45 | 0:07:49 | |
Foster this afternoon, maybe she can
begin to smooth things over. The | 0:07:49 | 0:07:55 | |
view in government is that this is
all a terrible misunderstanding, | 0:07:55 | 0:07:59 | |
that the DUP got the wrong end of
the stick about what the British | 0:07:59 | 0:08:02 | |
Government were proposing and what
they were suggesting was a much more | 0:08:02 | 0:08:06 | |
limited form of cross-border
co-operation, they were never | 0:08:06 | 0:08:09 | |
suggesting that Northern Ireland
should be halved in or half out of | 0:08:09 | 0:08:12 | |
the EU. The trouble is that is not
how the DUP view it, they don't | 0:08:12 | 0:08:18 | |
think they've misunderstood
anything. For them, this is a | 0:08:18 | 0:08:22 | |
fundamental issue of principle -
they are not prepared to have a | 0:08:22 | 0:08:27 | |
separate agreement for Northern
Ireland which creates a divide with | 0:08:27 | 0:08:30 | |
the rest of the UK, which they
believe might threaten their | 0:08:30 | 0:08:33 | |
position in the UK. And the way
these negotiations have been handled | 0:08:33 | 0:08:38 | |
have made the mood music all the
harder. Even some Tory MPs have been | 0:08:38 | 0:08:43 | |
a gas at the idea that the DUP were
not shown the text of the proposed | 0:08:43 | 0:08:49 | |
agreement, and then on top of all
that, you have the clock ticking | 0:08:49 | 0:08:53 | |
very, very loudly. With just days to
reach a deal where we know that the | 0:08:53 | 0:09:00 | |
DUP are tenacious negotiators, which
means that if it is not possible to | 0:09:00 | 0:09:04 | |
get an agreement in the next few
days, then many MPs believe that the | 0:09:04 | 0:09:09 | |
UK could be leaving the EU without a
deal. Norman Smith in Westminster, | 0:09:09 | 0:09:13 | |
thank you. | 0:09:13 | 0:09:17 | |
Parents are being warned
about the dangers | 0:09:17 | 0:09:18 | |
of live online streaming services,
after it emerged sex offenders | 0:09:18 | 0:09:22 | |
are increasingly using them
to manipulate their victims. | 0:09:22 | 0:09:25 | |
The warning from the National Crime
Agency follows a week-long operation | 0:09:25 | 0:09:28 | |
by UK authorities against
child sexual exploitation, | 0:09:28 | 0:09:29 | |
which led to the arrest
of more than 190 people. | 0:09:29 | 0:09:32 | |
Angus Crawford reports. | 0:09:32 | 0:09:36 | |
Hands up all those who have
used live streaming. | 0:09:36 | 0:09:40 | |
Aged 13 and 14, they know about apps
which let children broadcast | 0:09:40 | 0:09:43 | |
live from their phones. | 0:09:43 | 0:09:45 | |
Today, they're talking
about how to do it safely. | 0:09:45 | 0:09:50 | |
Somebody could be trying
to trick you, couldn't they? | 0:09:50 | 0:09:53 | |
The apps are quick to download,
easy to use. | 0:09:53 | 0:09:55 | |
These pupils could go live
in the playground, the street, | 0:09:55 | 0:09:57 | |
or even their own bedrooms. | 0:09:57 | 0:09:59 | |
Sometimes it can be quite dangerous,
because if someone's | 0:09:59 | 0:10:03 | |
following someone that they don't
know, they will be able to see it, | 0:10:03 | 0:10:07 | |
Like you don't know
who is watching you. | 0:10:07 | 0:10:09 | |
The real problem with some of these
apps is there's no proper checking | 0:10:09 | 0:10:12 | |
of age or identification,
so that means a live streaming | 0:10:12 | 0:10:15 | |
service with a 17 rating could be
used by children as young as this - | 0:10:15 | 0:10:18 | |
or even younger, eight or nine. | 0:10:18 | 0:10:22 | |
Look at this - a boy and a girl
on the app Periscope. | 0:10:22 | 0:10:27 | |
Now read the comments. | 0:10:27 | 0:10:29 | |
We don't want to identify them -
she is just nine. | 0:10:29 | 0:10:32 | |
Almost a thousand people
are watching, | 0:10:32 | 0:10:34 | |
and they're mostly adult men. | 0:10:34 | 0:10:37 | |
We can't show you
the worst of the comments. | 0:10:37 | 0:10:40 | |
Periscope told us it had
zero tolerance for this kind | 0:10:40 | 0:10:44 | |
of behaviour, but we found it
on other apps too, and | 0:10:44 | 0:10:47 | |
for the children caught up in it,
the consequences can be devastating. | 0:10:47 | 0:10:51 | |
I found her inconsolable
in her bedroom... | 0:10:51 | 0:10:54 | |
This is an actress,
but the words are true - | 0:10:54 | 0:10:57 | |
those of a mother whose
ten-year-old daughter | 0:10:57 | 0:11:00 | |
tried out the app Omegle for fun. | 0:11:00 | 0:11:05 | |
He switched his webcam on,
showed her his private parts, | 0:11:05 | 0:11:10 | |
and asked her to take photos
of herself, which she did. | 0:11:10 | 0:11:16 | |
She was terrified
by what had happened | 0:11:16 | 0:11:20 | |
and scared of what she'd done. | 0:11:20 | 0:11:24 | |
It offers offenders an immediate
connection to children and young | 0:11:24 | 0:11:28 | |
people that is one to one,
it allows them to manipulate | 0:11:28 | 0:11:32 | |
children and young people,
offer excitement, sympathy, | 0:11:32 | 0:11:34 | |
connection, emotional connection,
involve them with games | 0:11:34 | 0:11:36 | |
and trickery, and we see children
getting basically manipulated to do | 0:11:36 | 0:11:38 | |
things that ultimately
they're very uncomfortable about | 0:11:38 | 0:11:40 | |
and don't want to do. | 0:11:40 | 0:11:47 | |
A campaign video launched today
warning about the dangers of | 0:11:47 | 0:11:51 | |
live streaming aimed at
young people and their parents | 0:11:51 | 0:11:57 | |
and posing a stark question -
when children broadcast live | 0:11:57 | 0:12:01 | |
to the world from their own
bedrooms, can they really stay safe? | 0:12:01 | 0:12:06 | |
Angus Crawford, BBC News. | 0:12:06 | 0:12:10 | |
Google has announced plans
to employ 10,000 people | 0:12:10 | 0:12:13 | |
to search for violent
and extremist content | 0:12:13 | 0:12:16 | |
on its video-sharing website,
YouTube. | 0:12:16 | 0:12:18 | |
The website's chief executive says
the company will also track videos | 0:12:18 | 0:12:21 | |
that risk children's safety | 0:12:21 | 0:12:22 | |
and will make more use of technology
that finds extremist videos. | 0:12:22 | 0:12:29 | |
A Spanish judge has withdrawn
a European arrest warrant | 0:12:29 | 0:12:32 | |
for the former Catalan president. | 0:12:32 | 0:12:35 | |
Carles Puigdemont fled
to Belgium a month ago, | 0:12:35 | 0:12:37 | |
with four other ministers, | 0:12:37 | 0:12:40 | |
after attempting a unilateral
declaration of independence. | 0:12:40 | 0:12:42 | |
Meanwhile, campaigning has begun
for regional elections in Catalonia. | 0:12:42 | 0:12:47 | |
The new-car market has declined
for the eighth month in a row, | 0:12:47 | 0:12:50 | |
according to industry figures. | 0:12:50 | 0:12:53 | |
Fewer than 164,000 new cars
were registered last month, | 0:12:53 | 0:12:56 | |
down 11.2% on the same
month last year. | 0:12:56 | 0:13:00 | |
The Society for Motor Manufacturers
and Traders blamed the Government | 0:13:00 | 0:13:03 | |
for prompting a sharp drop
in demand for diesel cars. | 0:13:03 | 0:13:10 | |
Commuters are facing their
biggest jump in average train | 0:13:10 | 0:13:13 | |
fares in five years,
after the rail industry said | 0:13:13 | 0:13:15 | |
everything from season tickets
to off-peak leisure tickets | 0:13:15 | 0:13:17 | |
would rise in cost. | 0:13:17 | 0:13:20 | |
Prices will go up by an average
of 3.4% from the 2nd of January | 0:13:20 | 0:13:23 | |
for both regulated
and unregulated tickets. | 0:13:23 | 0:13:29 | |
But there'll be a previously
announced rise of 3.6% | 0:13:29 | 0:13:34 | |
for many commuters paying for season
tickets, fares which are regulated | 0:13:34 | 0:13:37 | |
by the Government and represent
around half of all tickets. | 0:13:37 | 0:13:41 | |
It's infuriated commuter groups -
fewer than half of passengers | 0:13:41 | 0:13:44 | |
are satisfied with the value
for money of train tickets, | 0:13:44 | 0:13:47 | |
according to the passenger
watchdog, Transport Focus. | 0:13:47 | 0:13:51 | |
Richard Westcott is at East Croydon
station in South London. | 0:13:51 | 0:13:59 | |
What has been the response to people
you have been talking to there? | 0:13:59 | 0:14:02 | |
I will give you three guesses! I go
through this process every year, we | 0:14:02 | 0:14:08 | |
all do, the campaign groups say
enough is enough, you have to freeze | 0:14:08 | 0:14:13 | |
rises, they go up every year, people
are being priced off the railways, | 0:14:13 | 0:14:17 | |
young people especially are
struggling because it costs so much | 0:14:17 | 0:14:19 | |
just to get to work, and yet fares
go up every year because train | 0:14:19 | 0:14:24 | |
companies and the Government say
they are pumping billions into the | 0:14:24 | 0:14:28 | |
network for better services, which
costs money. Anyway, you ask what | 0:14:28 | 0:14:32 | |
people think - we asked some. | 0:14:32 | 0:14:34 | |
I'm from Leicester,
I travel down to London | 0:14:34 | 0:14:36 | |
on a regular basis for work,
and it's frankly extortionate. | 0:14:36 | 0:14:39 | |
It's not just the price as well,
it's also the service, | 0:14:39 | 0:14:41 | |
which is pretty miserable at times. | 0:14:41 | 0:14:43 | |
I ended up leaving my job because
the trains were so unreliable, | 0:14:43 | 0:14:46 | |
so I wouldn't say it's value
for money at all. | 0:14:46 | 0:14:48 | |
Just imagine if a business
had to take a hit like that, | 0:14:48 | 0:14:51 | |
where one-twelfth of their income
is spent on travel - | 0:14:51 | 0:14:53 | |
or probably more. | 0:14:53 | 0:14:54 | |
It is a high one, but the railways
really need a lot of refurbing. | 0:14:54 | 0:14:59 | |
So you think, you know,
that money needs to be... | 0:14:59 | 0:15:02 | |
It's a difficult one,
and I think we have to be prepared | 0:15:02 | 0:15:05 | |
to pay for what we want. | 0:15:05 | 0:15:12 | |
Something has been going on on the
railways over recent years, | 0:15:12 | 0:15:16 | |
successive governments have been
shifting who pays for the railways, | 0:15:16 | 0:15:19 | |
for the trains and stations and all
the rest of it - less money coming | 0:15:19 | 0:15:23 | |
from the taxpayer, more from
tickets, and that is why we heap | 0:15:23 | 0:15:27 | |
seeing these price rises. Anyway,
the good news is that all of these | 0:15:27 | 0:15:31 | |
rises come into effect on January
the 2nd. Richard, thank you. | 0:15:31 | 0:15:37 | |
There's encouraging news for people
with type 2 diabetes, | 0:15:37 | 0:15:39 | |
after doctors in Newcastle
and Glasgow carried out | 0:15:39 | 0:15:40 | |
a trial on 300 people. | 0:15:40 | 0:15:42 | |
They say they have reversed
type 2 diabetes in nearly half | 0:15:42 | 0:15:45 | |
of the patients who took part,
and they're calling it | 0:15:45 | 0:15:47 | |
a watershed moment. | 0:15:47 | 0:15:48 | |
The treatment involves
losing a lot of weight, | 0:15:48 | 0:15:51 | |
by being restricted to just 800
calories a day for up to five months | 0:15:51 | 0:15:55 | |
on an all-liquid diet. | 0:15:55 | 0:15:59 | |
The charity Diabetes UK
says the approach | 0:15:59 | 0:16:01 | |
could help millions of people. | 0:16:01 | 0:16:05 | |
Our health correspondent,
James Gallagher, has the details. | 0:16:05 | 0:16:07 | |
Isobel Murray thought she was facing
a lifetime of type 2 diabetes, | 0:16:07 | 0:16:12 | |
but she's lost more than four stone
on the trial and has now completely | 0:16:12 | 0:16:15 | |
changed her relationship with food. | 0:16:15 | 0:16:16 | |
Her disease is in remission. | 0:16:16 | 0:16:22 | |
It's freedom to live your life again
and know that you're not in that | 0:16:22 | 0:16:27 | |
cycle anymore and know that I can
control this, and I will never go | 0:16:27 | 0:16:30 | |
there again, never will I be taking
diabetic medication again, | 0:16:30 | 0:16:33 | |
I'll do whatever I have to do
to make sure that that | 0:16:33 | 0:16:36 | |
never happens again. | 0:16:36 | 0:16:37 | |
She spent 17 weeks drinking these. | 0:16:37 | 0:16:40 | |
They're nutritionally balanced
soups and shakes to help | 0:16:40 | 0:16:42 | |
trigger weight loss. | 0:16:42 | 0:16:43 | |
And that's it. | 0:16:43 | 0:16:49 | |
There's 200 calories
in a glass and you're allowed | 0:16:49 | 0:16:51 | |
four of them every day. | 0:16:51 | 0:16:52 | |
That's just sweet, really,
but that's your lot. | 0:16:52 | 0:16:54 | |
For up to five months. | 0:16:54 | 0:16:57 | |
The pancreas is critical
in type 2 diabetes. | 0:16:57 | 0:17:02 | |
If excess body fat is stored
around the organ, | 0:17:02 | 0:17:05 | |
then it reduces the production
of the hormone insulin. | 0:17:05 | 0:17:08 | |
That leads to levels of sugar
in the blood getting | 0:17:08 | 0:17:11 | |
dangerously out of control. | 0:17:11 | 0:17:13 | |
But losing weight makes the fat
cells disappear and the pancreas | 0:17:13 | 0:17:16 | |
work properly again. | 0:17:16 | 0:17:19 | |
Doctors say 46% of patients
on the trial | 0:17:19 | 0:17:22 | |
put their type 2 into remission. | 0:17:22 | 0:17:26 | |
We now have clear evidence that
weight loss of 10-15 kg is enough | 0:17:26 | 0:17:29 | |
to turn this disease around. | 0:17:29 | 0:17:31 | |
It's hugely exciting that we can do
that in routine practice, | 0:17:31 | 0:17:34 | |
with ordinary nurses,
ordinary dieticians, ordinary GPs, | 0:17:34 | 0:17:36 | |
and ordinary patients. | 0:17:36 | 0:17:38 | |
I don't have diabetes anymore,
I don't feel like a diabetic, | 0:17:38 | 0:17:41 | |
so I don't think about it anymore. | 0:17:41 | 0:17:43 | |
I've got my life back. | 0:17:43 | 0:17:49 | |
And Isobel says if she can do
it, then anyone can. | 0:17:49 | 0:17:51 | |

Our top story this lunchtime... | 0:17:53 | 0:17:56 | |
The Prime Minister scrambles to find
a solution after failing to reach | 0:17:56 | 0:17:59 | |
a deal at the Brexit
talks in Brussels. | 0:17:59 | 0:18:04 | |
Coming up in sport... | 0:18:04 | 0:18:10 | |
I am live in Hull where this evening
we will find out which artist is | 0:18:10 | 0:18:19 | |
taking home the most prestigious
prize in contemporary art, that | 0:18:19 | 0:18:24 | |
Turner Prize. | 0:18:24 | 0:18:26 | |
It's the final round of matches
in the group stage of | 0:18:26 | 0:18:29 | |
the Champions League tonight. | 0:18:29 | 0:18:30 | |
Manchester United are
hoping to secure top spot | 0:18:30 | 0:18:32 | |
and qualification for the last 16. | 0:18:32 | 0:18:34 | |
It's been described
as a planetary crisis | 0:18:39 | 0:18:43 | |
and now environment ministers
meeting in Nairobi have agreed that | 0:18:43 | 0:18:46 | |
plastic waste needs to be stopped
from entering the world's oceans. | 0:18:46 | 0:18:51 | |
Scientists say they're shocked
to discover the effect plastics can | 0:18:51 | 0:18:54 | |
have on marine life,
endangering animals such | 0:18:54 | 0:18:56 | |
as turtles which can swallow
foreign items in the ocean. | 0:18:56 | 0:19:06 | |
The United Nations resolution,
which is set to be sealed tomorrow, | 0:19:06 | 0:19:08 | |
is not legally binding. | 0:19:08 | 0:19:09 | |
But ministers hope it
will set the course | 0:19:09 | 0:19:11 | |
for much tougher policies. | 0:19:11 | 0:19:12 | |
Our environment analyst,
Roger Harrabin, reports. | 0:19:12 | 0:19:14 | |
The plastic epidemic is everywhere. | 0:19:14 | 0:19:17 | |
Here volunteers are clearing up
a beach in Watamu, eastern Kenya. | 0:19:17 | 0:19:22 | |
The plastic comes from as far
as Indonesia and Japan. | 0:19:22 | 0:19:28 | |
It is harming animals like turtles
which ingest plastic pieces. | 0:19:28 | 0:19:31 | |
Half of the turtles brought
in for treatment for eating | 0:19:31 | 0:19:34 | |
plastics end up dead. | 0:19:34 | 0:19:37 | |
Here is one lucky turtle
being measured before | 0:19:37 | 0:19:40 | |
it is put back in the sea. | 0:19:40 | 0:19:43 | |
It was brought in
sick by a fisherman. | 0:19:43 | 0:19:47 | |
The man who runs the turtle hospital
says turtles offer an insight | 0:19:47 | 0:19:50 | |
into pollution of the entire ocean. | 0:19:50 | 0:19:52 | |
We focus on turtles
because they are endangered, | 0:19:52 | 0:19:55 | |
but also they are quite
a charismatic species. | 0:19:55 | 0:19:57 | |
People like turtles. | 0:19:57 | 0:20:03 | |
It is easier to get people
to like turtles than maybe a ray | 0:20:03 | 0:20:06 | |
or some kind of weird fish. | 0:20:06 | 0:20:09 | |
But also because they are
an excellent indicator species | 0:20:09 | 0:20:11 | |
of ecosystem health. | 0:20:11 | 0:20:15 | |
At the United Nations in Kenya,
these installations offer | 0:20:15 | 0:20:18 | |
an artist's insight into the impact
of plastics in the oceans. | 0:20:18 | 0:20:21 | |
UN environment ministers
are discussing what to do about it. | 0:20:21 | 0:20:25 | |
Some nations are banning
plastic bags completely. | 0:20:25 | 0:20:29 | |
Others are more cautious. | 0:20:29 | 0:20:30 | |
The UN's oceans chief
wants much faster action. | 0:20:30 | 0:20:38 | |
The plastic, the tremendous amount
of plastic that we use ends up | 0:20:38 | 0:20:41 | |
in the ocean and the ocean has been
seen as a trash dump where we dump | 0:20:41 | 0:20:45 | |
everything we don't need. | 0:20:45 | 0:20:46 | |
That plastic never goes away. | 0:20:46 | 0:20:49 | |
Mostly it floats on the surface. | 0:20:49 | 0:20:53 | |
It falls to the bottom. | 0:20:53 | 0:20:54 | |
And we urgently need
to do something about it. | 0:20:54 | 0:20:57 | |
Scientists recently discovered that
creatures at the very bottom | 0:20:57 | 0:20:59 | |
of the sea in the Mariana Trench had
ingested micro plastic fragments. | 0:20:59 | 0:21:02 | |
Many of them will have been
carried thousands of miles | 0:21:02 | 0:21:04 | |
from cities far inland. | 0:21:04 | 0:21:07 | |
In Nairobi, for instance,
they have banned plastic bags. | 0:21:07 | 0:21:10 | |
But look at this. | 0:21:10 | 0:21:12 | |
The UN grinds slowly. | 0:21:12 | 0:21:15 | |
While governments are figuring
out how to progress, | 0:21:15 | 0:21:17 | |
ordinary people have simply got
to stop doing this. | 0:21:17 | 0:21:20 | |
Roger Harrabin, BBC News, Nairobi. | 0:21:20 | 0:21:26 | |
Ferocious winds have whipped up
a fast-moving wildfire north | 0:21:26 | 0:21:29 | |
of Los Angeles, in California,
threatening thousands of homes | 0:21:29 | 0:21:33 | |
and knocking out power lines. | 0:21:33 | 0:21:35 | |
So far, authorities have
said one person has died | 0:21:35 | 0:21:37 | |
as a result of the blaze
and evacuation centres have been | 0:21:37 | 0:21:40 | |
opened in schools and fairgrounds. | 0:21:40 | 0:21:41 | |
Richard Galpin has the latest. | 0:21:41 | 0:21:45 | |
Fanned by winds gusting at up
to 70 miles an hour, | 0:21:45 | 0:21:50 | |
this latest fire in California has
been spreading fast | 0:21:50 | 0:21:53 | |
towards cities on the coast. | 0:21:53 | 0:21:55 | |
And as the fire advances,
thousands of families have been | 0:21:55 | 0:21:59 | |
ordered to leave their homes
as quickly as possible. | 0:21:59 | 0:22:04 | |
You must abide by these
evacuation notices. | 0:22:04 | 0:22:08 | |
We saw the disasters and the losses
that happened up north | 0:22:08 | 0:22:13 | |
in Sonoma and this is a fast,
very dangerous, moving fire. | 0:22:13 | 0:22:17 | |
Already one person has been
killed and there are fears | 0:22:17 | 0:22:20 | |
of significant destruction. | 0:22:20 | 0:22:22 | |
But some people still won't leave. | 0:22:22 | 0:22:27 | |
You can't panic, just kind
of go with the flow. | 0:22:27 | 0:22:29 | |
That's me. | 0:22:29 | 0:22:34 | |
We've been here almost 30
years and we've gone | 0:22:34 | 0:22:36 | |
through floods, fires, you know. | 0:22:36 | 0:22:38 | |
But it's the wind, you just don't
know where it is going to go. | 0:22:38 | 0:22:41 | |
My son is a firefighter and I'm not
going to wait around for someone | 0:22:41 | 0:22:44 | |
to have to come rescue me,
so I am out of here. | 0:22:44 | 0:22:50 | |
With the strong winds persisting,
the fire now covers | 0:22:50 | 0:22:52 | |
an area of 25,000 acres. | 0:22:52 | 0:22:57 | |
And it is continuing
to move steadily westwards, | 0:22:57 | 0:22:59 | |
towards the coastal cities
of Ventura and Santa Paula. | 0:22:59 | 0:23:06 | |
We have over 500 firefighting
personnel out on the lines. | 0:23:06 | 0:23:09 | |
The fire is pushing quickly
towards the city of Ventura. | 0:23:09 | 0:23:12 | |
We are making sure we are out ahead
of the fire, making sure we have | 0:23:12 | 0:23:16 | |
evacuations in advance of the fire. | 0:23:16 | 0:23:18 | |
That is a street going up in there. | 0:23:18 | 0:23:20 | |
Bad news. | 0:23:20 | 0:23:23 | |
And now the flames have
reached parts of Ventura, | 0:23:23 | 0:23:27 | |
with many homes and other
buildings on fire. | 0:23:27 | 0:23:31 | |
What was already California's most
devastating fire season on record... | 0:23:31 | 0:23:37 | |
..just got even worse. | 0:23:37 | 0:23:40 | |
Richard Galpin, BBC News. | 0:23:40 | 0:23:46 | |
England have been fighting back in
the second Ashes Test in Adelaide. | 0:23:46 | 0:23:50 | |
This morning, they bowled Australia
out for 138, with Jimmy Anderson | 0:23:50 | 0:23:53 | |
taking his first five-wicket
haul in Australia. | 0:23:53 | 0:23:56 | |
England finished on 176-4,
still needing 178 | 0:23:56 | 0:24:02 | |
to win on what could be
a nail-biting final day. | 0:24:02 | 0:24:04 | |
Andy Swiss has been
watching the action. | 0:24:04 | 0:24:11 | |
It began a peaceful
Adelaide Tuesday that turned | 0:24:11 | 0:24:13 | |
into the tensest nailbiter. | 0:24:13 | 0:24:15 | |
England began with barely
a flicker of hope. | 0:24:15 | 0:24:17 | |
They needed early wickets and found
them, Jimmy Anderson inspired, | 0:24:17 | 0:24:22 | |
taking five in total
as his team-mates clung | 0:24:22 | 0:24:26 | |
onto their catches. | 0:24:26 | 0:24:28 | |
Australia's lead was growing
all the time though. | 0:24:28 | 0:24:30 | |
England kept chipping away,
if only they'd bowled like | 0:24:30 | 0:24:33 | |
this in the first innings. | 0:24:33 | 0:24:34 | |
By the time Australia
were all out for 138, | 0:24:34 | 0:24:36 | |
England's target was
still a massive one. | 0:24:36 | 0:24:38 | |
354, they would need
a record run chase. | 0:24:38 | 0:24:47 | |
As Mark Stoneman and Alastair Cook
eased them past the 50 | 0:24:47 | 0:24:49 | |
mark, England dared to dream. | 0:24:49 | 0:24:50 | |
But then a reality
check, both went in | 0:24:50 | 0:24:53 | |
quick succession and
another soon followed. | 0:24:53 | 0:24:58 | |
James Vince wafting his
wicket away - not what | 0:24:58 | 0:25:01 | |
the occasion called for. | 0:25:01 | 0:25:02 | |
Under floodlights and the fiercest
pressure, Dawid Malan | 0:25:02 | 0:25:04 | |
and Joe Root hung in there. | 0:25:04 | 0:25:05 | |
Australia kept appealing,
England kept surviving, just. | 0:25:05 | 0:25:07 | |
It was pure sporting theatre. | 0:25:07 | 0:25:10 | |
Root reached a gutsy
half-century as the pair | 0:25:10 | 0:25:12 | |
rekindled England's hopes. | 0:25:12 | 0:25:13 | |
But ten minutes from
the close, a final twist. | 0:25:13 | 0:25:16 | |
Dawid Malan gone. | 0:25:16 | 0:25:17 | |
Australia are still
favourites, but England | 0:25:17 | 0:25:19 | |
are 178 runs from
something very special. | 0:25:19 | 0:25:26 | |
This has been some fight
back from England. | 0:25:26 | 0:25:31 | |
Barely 24 hours
ago, they looked beaten, | 0:25:31 | 0:25:33 | |
the Ashes all but gone. | 0:25:33 | 0:25:38 | |
And yet they still have a chance
of a remarkable win. | 0:25:38 | 0:25:41 | |
To be honest, we are delighted to be
in this position, to have any chance | 0:25:41 | 0:25:44 | |
of winning the game,
which we didn't think we would have | 0:25:44 | 0:25:47 | |
after the first couple of days. | 0:25:47 | 0:25:48 | |
It's good for us. | 0:25:48 | 0:25:53 | |
Obviously, there's a huge amount
of work left in this game if we | 0:25:53 | 0:25:56 | |
have got any chance of winning it. | 0:25:56 | 0:26:05 | |
And so an enthralling
finale awakes from the | 0:26:05 | 0:26:07 | |
brink of defeat, a chance of one
of cricket's greatest victories. | 0:26:07 | 0:26:10 | |
The International Olympic Committee
will announce this evening | 0:26:10 | 0:26:12 | |
whether it will allow Russian
athletes to compete in next year's | 0:26:12 | 0:26:15 | |
Winter Olympics in South Korea. | 0:26:15 | 0:26:17 | |
An independent report
by the World Anti-Doping Authority | 0:26:17 | 0:26:21 | |
in 2015 suggested senior figures
in Russia's sports ministry were | 0:26:21 | 0:26:24 | |
complicit in doping by athletes. | 0:26:24 | 0:26:28 | |
A Kremlin spokesman said Russia
will defend its athletes | 0:26:28 | 0:26:30 | |
against the allegations. | 0:26:30 | 0:26:31 | |
Alex Capstick is in
Lausanne, in Switzerland. | 0:26:31 | 0:26:39 | |
That decision, what is it expected
to be? Russia's fate will be known | 0:26:39 | 0:26:46 | |
in next few hours. The crucial
session is just underweight and it | 0:26:46 | 0:26:50 | |
could end with a ban on one of the
Olympic heavyweights over massive | 0:26:50 | 0:26:57 | |
doping violations. Things got
serious when a report by Richard | 0:26:57 | 0:27:02 | |
McLaren was published accusing
Russia of institutionalised doping, | 0:27:02 | 0:27:05 | |
he said it affected 1000 athletes in
more than 30 different sports. | 0:27:05 | 0:27:10 | |
Russia has denied there was any
state-sponsored doping but since the | 0:27:10 | 0:27:17 | |
report, a separate IOC investigation
has corroborated most of Richard | 0:27:17 | 0:27:20 | |
McLaren's findings and another
inquiry is examining whether it was | 0:27:20 | 0:27:24 | |
a state led conspiracy. A Russian
delegation is in town to put their | 0:27:24 | 0:27:28 | |
side of the story and they will
argue a blanket ban is unfair on | 0:27:28 | 0:27:32 | |
clean athletes. This is being seen
as a test of the IOC's credibility, | 0:27:32 | 0:27:38 | |
its president, Thomas Bach, has been
accused of being reluctant to punish | 0:27:38 | 0:27:43 | |
such a powerful and influential
member of the Olympic movement, but | 0:27:43 | 0:27:47 | |
amid mounting evidence, the signs
are his attitude has hardened | 0:27:47 | 0:27:50 | |
against Russia. By how far, that
will become clear later today. Thank | 0:27:50 | 0:27:56 | |
you. | 0:27:56 | 0:27:59 | |
It's one of visual art's most
prestigious awards - | 0:27:59 | 0:28:01 | |

Jane Hill is in Hull for us. Welcome
to the Ferens Gallery hosting the | 0:28:47 | 0:28:56 | |
Turner Prize. We are in the room
exhibiting the work of Lubaina | 0:28:56 | 0:29:00 | |
Himid, the bookies favourite. A few
more hours to wait whether their | 0:29:00 | 0:29:05 | |
assessment is correct. Let us talk
to Martin Greene, the director of | 0:29:05 | 0:29:12 | |
Hull 2017. 90,000 people have
already come together Ferens Gallery | 0:29:12 | 0:29:16 | |
to see the exhibits. A few more
weeks to run. What do you put the | 0:29:16 | 0:29:20 | |
fantastic attendance down to? It
shows the appetite for contemporary | 0:29:20 | 0:29:24 | |
Art in the UK and by staging it
here, we have a whole new audience | 0:29:24 | 0:29:28 | |
to the work of the extraordinary
four artists. Remarkable year, a lot | 0:29:28 | 0:29:35 | |
going on in the city, only a few
weeks to go. Do you and your team | 0:29:35 | 0:29:40 | |
have to reflect now on how you take
the successes, the enthusiasms you | 0:29:40 | 0:29:45 | |
have seen this year, and take it
into 2018 and beyond? What happens | 0:29:45 | 0:29:50 | |
next is arguably more important. We
have a 20 year legacy plan, a | 0:29:50 | 0:29:55 | |
programme for next year, new
buildings, we continue. If you did | 0:29:55 | 0:29:58 | |
not visit the city this year, come
next year. Do you feel across all | 0:29:58 | 0:30:03 | |
artistic disciplines that you have
genuinely engaged local people, that | 0:30:03 | 0:30:09 | |
this has really benefited the city?
We had a figure at the beginning of | 0:30:09 | 0:30:13 | |
the year that nine out of ten people
in the city would visit at least one | 0:30:13 | 0:30:18 | |
cultural event, we have seen
phenomenal audiences at everything | 0:30:18 | 0:30:20 | |
we have done across the city. I am
really proud of what the city has | 0:30:20 | 0:30:26 | |
achieved. Thank you very much,
Martin Greene, director of Hull | 0:30:26 | 0:30:33 | |

special programme on the news
channel tonight. Now the weather. | 0:30:46 | 0:30:49 | |
The Met Office have named the third
named storm of the season, Storm | 0:30:49 | 0:30:55 | |
Caroline, out in the Atlantic at the
moment, making its way north and | 0:30:55 | 0:30:59 | |
east towards the UK through the
course of Wednesday night and into | 0:30:59 | 0:31:02 | |
Thursday. When it does arrive, it
will bring gusts potentially of more | 0:31:02 | 0:31:09 | |
than 80 mph, strongest in the north
of Scotland, where we are likely to | 0:31:09 | 0:31:13 | |
see travel disruption. Keep tuned to
the forecast. Back to the here and | 0:31:13 | 0:31:19 | |
now, pretty quiet. A cloudy day.
Still mild with temperatures around | 0:31:19 | 0:31:25 | |
8-10dC. Rain in the north-west of
Scotland which will be persistent at | 0:31:25 | 0:31:29 | |
times. Elsewhere, the odd spot of
Bristol on coasts and hills in the | 0:31:29 | 0:31:34 | |
north and west. -- the odd spot of
Brazil. Overnight temperatures not | 0:31:34 | 0:31:40 | |
too dissimilar to the daytime highs.
Through the day tomorrow, a similar | 0:31:40 | 0:31:45 | |
day across England and Wales to
today. Still quite cloudy, a few | 0:31:45 | 0:31:50 | |
more bright intervals, Scotland and
Northern Ireland, the wind picking | 0:31:50 | 0:31:57 | |
up with rain. Mild and breezy
tomorrow. Later tomorrow, the wins | 0:31:57 | 0:32:02 | |
will really start to strengthen,
gales on exposed Irish Sea coasts | 0:32:02 | 0:32:06 | |
and parts of Scotland. Heavy bursts
of rain also crossing south-east | 0:32:06 | 0:32:14 | |
across the country. From the word go
on Thursday, a windy day wherever | 0:32:14 | 0:32:18 | |
you are and as the winds strengthen,
we could see gusts reaching 80 miles | 0:32:18 | 0:32:24 | |
per across Scotland. Enough to cause
significant disruption with Storm | 0:32:24 | 0:32:31 | |
Caroline bringing rain east and the
wins will be changing direction. As | 0:32:31 | 0:32:35 | |
the storm clears to the north-east,
we are left with a northerly air | 0:32:35 | 0:32:40 | |
flow, isobars stretching up to the
Arctic. Colder conditions piling in | 0:32:40 | 0:32:45 | |
behind the storm, Calder air mass
heading into was the end of the | 0:32:45 | 0:32:49 | |
week. Friday, different feel to the
weather, sunny spells and wintry | 0:32:49 | 0:32:54 | |
showers, there could be snow across
Scotland, Wales, south-west of | 0:32:54 | 0:32:58 | |
England. Some sunshine elsewhere. It
will feel cold. With the wind chill, | 0:32:58 | 0:33:03 | |
it will feel more like around -3 for
many. Wintry end to the week. Lots | 0:33:03 | 0:33:11 | |
going on in the weather. From
midweek, Storm Caroline bringing wet | 0:33:11 | 0:33:17 | |
and windy weather. Then the return
to something colder towards the end | 0:33:17 | 0:33:20 | |
of the week. | 0:33:20 | 0:33:27 |
