0:01:43 > 0:01:47Good afternoon and welcome to the BBC News at One.
0:01:47 > 0:01:50The leader of Hamas, the Palestinian Islamist group,
0:01:50 > 0:01:53has called for an uprising or intifada in response
0:01:53 > 0:01:55to President Trump's decision to recognise Jerusalem
0:01:55 > 0:01:58as the capital of Israel.
0:01:58 > 0:02:00Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza Strip are today holding
0:02:00 > 0:02:03a day of strikes and protests and Israel's military
0:02:03 > 0:02:06has used water cannon against protesters in Bethlehem.
0:02:06 > 0:02:08Traditional allies of the United States,
0:02:08 > 0:02:12including Saudi Arabia and France, have condemned President Trump's
0:02:12 > 0:02:16decision, but Israel has hailed it as "historic," and Mr Trump himself
0:02:16 > 0:02:19insists his plan will help to promote peace in the Middle East.
0:02:19 > 0:02:25Here's our correspondent Tom Burridge.
0:02:25 > 0:02:31Tension is again simmering here in the Israeli occupied West Bank.
0:02:31 > 0:02:37Israeli soldiers confronting pockets of Palestinians, protesting after a
0:02:37 > 0:02:45landmark shift in US policy. In Jerusalem's all city where security
0:02:45 > 0:02:50is always tight shops shut in the Muslim quarter reflect anger. But
0:02:50 > 0:02:56for many Israeli dues, their key ally recognising this as their
0:02:56 > 0:03:01capital, is long overdue.Definitely historic. We have been waiting for
0:03:01 > 0:03:05it for a long time. I hope it does not get stuck in endless
0:03:05 > 0:03:08bureaucracy. The proof is in the pudding and we are very excited
0:03:08 > 0:03:14about it.But for many Palestinians the mood disqualifies Washington as
0:03:14 > 0:03:20an honest broker, the noise now not about peace but resistance. In Gaza
0:03:20 > 0:03:24Hamas, the Palestinian Islamist group, called for another uprising.
0:03:24 > 0:03:31In Arabic it is intifada, a word synonymous with more troubled times.
0:03:31 > 0:03:35TRANSLATION: Tomorrow will be a day of rage and the beginning of a wider
0:03:35 > 0:03:39move towards an uprising which we will call the intifada of Jerusalem
0:03:39 > 0:03:45and freedom in the West Bank.Donald Trump said he was merely recognising
0:03:45 > 0:03:48the reality. Israel's Prime Minister is now claiming others will follow
0:03:48 > 0:03:55suit.TRANSLATION: I have no doubt that once the American embassy moves
0:03:55 > 0:03:59to Jerusalem or even before, there will be a movement of other
0:03:59 > 0:04:05embassies to Jerusalem. The time has come.But the international reaction
0:04:05 > 0:04:10so far suggests otherwise. In Istanbul anger directed at
0:04:10 > 0:04:16Washington outside the US consulate last night. And America's allies
0:04:16 > 0:04:22like France also disagree. President Macron was today at an airbase in
0:04:22 > 0:04:26Qatar will stop a piece del between the Palestinians and Israelis he
0:04:26 > 0:04:31says is only possible if Jerusalem has an international status.
0:04:31 > 0:04:35TRANSLATION: The status of Jerusalem is a question of international
0:04:35 > 0:04:41security which concerns the entire international community.So as
0:04:41 > 0:04:45tensions rise, France and Britain will express their opposition
0:04:45 > 0:04:49directly to the Americans at a special UN Security Council meeting
0:04:49 > 0:04:53tomorrow. The fear that a decades-old conflict could lead to
0:04:53 > 0:04:54widespread violence once again.
0:04:54 > 0:04:56widespread violence once again.
0:04:56 > 0:05:02Our diplomatic Correspondent James Robbins joins me.
0:05:02 > 0:05:06James, taking up on what Tom was saying, this violence we have seen
0:05:06 > 0:05:11is what was feared the most?It was predicted widely predicted by
0:05:11 > 0:05:16President Trump's State Department who issued instructions to that
0:05:16 > 0:05:20effect to its own diplomats, to avoid all but essential travel to
0:05:20 > 0:05:25the region. What is really remarkable that was in Tom's report
0:05:25 > 0:05:28was the scale of international unity against the position taken by
0:05:28 > 0:05:35President Trump. It is advocating completely different tactics, Hamas
0:05:35 > 0:05:40and the government of the major Western powers, including Britain
0:05:40 > 0:05:45and France, who are calling for a discussion of the United States
0:05:45 > 0:05:49Brahma decisions in the security council. It is very unusual for the
0:05:49 > 0:05:53Europeans to be seen orchestrating a meeting in the UN which is bound to
0:05:53 > 0:05:58be highly critical of Washington. It is a remarkable moment but the hope
0:05:58 > 0:06:01is that such protests as there is maybe largely peaceful, not
0:06:01 > 0:06:07exclusively peaceful, and the pressure now on President Trump,
0:06:07 > 0:06:11including from Boris Trout the Foreign Secretary, is to back up his
0:06:11 > 0:06:14decision with definite American proposals to try to advance the
0:06:14 > 0:06:19peace process. Boris Johnson echoing what other people have said, you
0:06:19 > 0:06:23have taken this provocative decision, now you have to follow it
0:06:23 > 0:06:26up with ideas about how you really are going to advance the peace
0:06:26 > 0:06:26process.
0:06:26 > 0:06:28process.
0:06:28 > 0:06:31The number of patients waiting for over four hours to be seen
0:06:31 > 0:06:34in Accident and Emergency units across the UK has more than doubled
0:06:34 > 0:06:36in the past four years, according to research done
0:06:36 > 0:06:37by the BBC.
0:06:37 > 0:06:39Northern Ireland has the worst performance, England has seen
0:06:39 > 0:06:40the fastest deterioration.
0:06:40 > 0:06:43The government says more money is being made available in England
0:06:43 > 0:06:45to help hospitals cope this winter, as our Health Correspondent
0:06:45 > 0:06:49Dominic Hughes reports.
0:06:49 > 0:06:52Right across the UK, accident and emergency departments
0:06:52 > 0:06:59have been working at full capacity.
0:06:59 > 0:07:01Now BBC analysis shows how an already busy system
0:07:01 > 0:07:03is struggling to cope.
0:07:03 > 0:07:07The waiting time target to treat or deal with 95% patients
0:07:07 > 0:07:10within four hours is being missed across the country.
0:07:10 > 0:07:13In the past year, more than 3 million patients waited
0:07:13 > 0:07:16longer than four hours, an increase of 120%
0:07:16 > 0:07:19on four years ago.
0:07:19 > 0:07:22But visits to A&E are up by only 7%, to nearly 27 million.
0:07:22 > 0:07:26To ensure the target is met, the NHS would need to build
0:07:26 > 0:07:29an additional 20 A&E departments.
0:07:29 > 0:07:32There is no more capacity in the system.
0:07:32 > 0:07:36Staff are working really hard, our nurses, our doctors,
0:07:36 > 0:07:40and we've reached a point where we unfortunately
0:07:40 > 0:07:45cannot meet that demand.
0:07:45 > 0:07:48It's clear that, over the last four years,
0:07:48 > 0:07:51more and more people have been attending accident and emergency
0:07:51 > 0:07:54departments, but it's the complexity of many of those cases that has
0:07:54 > 0:07:58contributed to longer and longer waits for patients,
0:07:58 > 0:08:03and the picture right across the UK is extremely mixed.
0:08:03 > 0:08:06Scotland has come closest to hitting the target,
0:08:06 > 0:08:09while England has seen the biggest increase in those facing the long
0:08:09 > 0:08:12wait, but performance is even worse in Wales.
0:08:12 > 0:08:15Northern Ireland manages to see just three quarters
0:08:15 > 0:08:18of patients within four hours.
0:08:18 > 0:08:21The Luton and Dunstable Hospital is one of the best performing
0:08:21 > 0:08:25in the UK, but that's taken an intense effort.
0:08:25 > 0:08:28We can only meet the four-hour target if we can move patients out
0:08:28 > 0:08:31of the emergency department and, to be able to do that,
0:08:31 > 0:08:34we need to have beds available within the hospital to move those
0:08:34 > 0:08:38patients from the emergency department, and that's
0:08:38 > 0:08:41where everybody working within the hospital system
0:08:41 > 0:08:45has a role to play.
0:08:45 > 0:08:48Across the UK, there are efforts to control the numbers arriving
0:08:48 > 0:08:51at A&E while also moving patients through hospitals more
0:08:51 > 0:08:54quickly to free up beds, but the coming winter months
0:08:54 > 0:08:57will be a challenge.
0:08:57 > 0:08:59We know the NHS is under more pressure, because we've got more
0:08:59 > 0:09:01people coming to A&E.
0:09:01 > 0:09:03We also know that money is tight.
0:09:03 > 0:09:06We also know there are workforce shortages.
0:09:06 > 0:09:09But what I can assure everybody is that both trusts and the national
0:09:09 > 0:09:12NHS have prepared better for this winter than they have
0:09:12 > 0:09:14ever prepared before, but we'll have to see what happens.
0:09:14 > 0:09:17A busy NHS means longer waiting times and, so far,
0:09:17 > 0:09:20there is little sign of respite for staff or patients.
0:09:20 > 0:09:23Dominic Hughes, BBC News.
0:09:23 > 0:09:29With me now is our Health Editor Hugh Pym.
0:09:29 > 0:09:35Are the pressures on A&E even more intense this winter the last?It
0:09:35 > 0:09:39does seem like that. We had new figures today from NHS England stay
0:09:39 > 0:09:44in bed occupancy in hospitals in the most recent week was 94.5% above
0:09:44 > 0:09:50where it was a year ago. The issue of bed availability is key to all of
0:09:50 > 0:09:55this because if beds cannot be freed up for new patients coming in, you
0:09:55 > 0:10:00get a backlog going back into A&E and these long wait there.
0:10:00 > 0:10:04Discharging patients is a problem as we have heard so many times because
0:10:04 > 0:10:08of social care issues. If an elderly patient is medically fit but cannot
0:10:08 > 0:10:12be found somewhere to go because something has not been set up at
0:10:12 > 0:10:15home, that causes problems. Yes, more money has been invested in
0:10:15 > 0:10:21social care by the government in England and, yes, the government has
0:10:21 > 0:10:24made more money available in the budget for the NHS to deal with
0:10:24 > 0:10:29winter pressures. But there is a feeling that is too little, too
0:10:29 > 0:10:32late. Looking back with this BBC research it shows the relentless
0:10:32 > 0:10:36rise in patient numbers coming through the door, but even more of
0:10:36 > 0:10:40them waiting longer than four hours. It has gone down a bit in Scotland
0:10:40 > 0:10:45but rapidly up in England.And how much is this down to people going to
0:10:45 > 0:10:51A&E when they do not need to?There is an element of that. The way best
0:10:51 > 0:10:55hospitals deal with it, including Luton and Dunstable, is to have
0:10:55 > 0:11:00senior doctors near the front door of the hospital, and GPs, so you can
0:11:00 > 0:11:03take people out of the equation and send them back into the community
0:11:03 > 0:11:07because they do not need to be there. But there are people who feel
0:11:07 > 0:11:18they are not getting what they need from their local GP, they are not
0:11:18 > 0:11:21getting the cover they want outside hospital and they want to be there.
0:11:21 > 0:11:23The NHS in England feels there is a big education robo people here who
0:11:23 > 0:11:26are going to see a pharmacist and not coming to A&E, are going to a
0:11:26 > 0:11:29GP, and they think that is the best way of taking pressure off this
0:11:29 > 0:11:31winter.
0:11:31 > 0:11:33winter.
0:11:33 > 0:11:35And if you want to find out what waiting times
0:11:35 > 0:11:38are like at your hospital service, go to the BBC's NHS Tracker
0:11:38 > 0:11:39page on the website.
0:11:39 > 0:11:42You just need to put in your postcode.
0:11:42 > 0:11:44Accident investigators have concluded that the driver
0:11:44 > 0:11:47of the tram which crashed in Croydon last year killing seven passengers
0:11:47 > 0:11:50and injuring dozens more had probably dozed off as the tram
0:11:50 > 0:11:57approached a sharp bend at high speed.
0:11:57 > 0:12:01Investigators made a number of investigations, including
0:12:01 > 0:12:03introducing automatic braking systems and putting in tougher
0:12:03 > 0:12:09windows and doors.
0:12:09 > 0:12:13Going far too fast around a tight bend that killed seven people and
0:12:13 > 0:12:18injured more than 60. Now the official report suggests the driver
0:12:18 > 0:12:24may have temporarily nodded off. You can see just how tight this band is.
0:12:24 > 0:12:30The tram was meant to be going around it at 13 miles an hour, a
0:12:30 > 0:12:35snail's pace, like we are now. It actually went around the bend at
0:12:35 > 0:12:40nearer 45 miles an hour. One of the survivors was standing exactly where
0:12:40 > 0:12:45I am standing now checking his phone.The injury I sustained on the
0:12:45 > 0:12:51tram that they just changed my life. It is more than a year ago, but the
0:12:51 > 0:12:56memories are fresh.I pulled my foot away and I held into the pole in
0:12:56 > 0:13:01front of me and I said, God, please save my life. There were people
0:13:01 > 0:13:05screaming and shouting underneath the tram because they were trapped.
0:13:05 > 0:13:11Please do not serve on me, I am still alive.He thinks passengers
0:13:11 > 0:13:15tried to warn the driver.Normally when they approach that corner it
0:13:15 > 0:13:21normally slows down. But that date everybody knew, everybody was
0:13:21 > 0:13:29screaming and shouting back down the door, but we did not get any
0:13:29 > 0:13:32correspondence from the driver. Investigators found other worrying
0:13:32 > 0:13:38facts. Another tram nearly derailed on the same corner just nine days
0:13:38 > 0:13:42before but it was not investigated properly. Nine drivers admitted they
0:13:42 > 0:13:46had used emergency or heavy braking on the same bend but were worried
0:13:46 > 0:13:50about reporting near misses. There was talk about inadequate speed
0:13:50 > 0:13:55signs. Half of the passengers were thrown out through smashed windows
0:13:55 > 0:14:00and doors, the main cause of injuries and deaths. Investigators
0:14:00 > 0:14:05say trams should have tougher doors and glass in the future. Marilyn
0:14:05 > 0:14:09Logan lost her husband Philip in the accident. She is furious at the tram
0:14:09 > 0:14:16operator did not act on previous speeding events.Very angry because
0:14:16 > 0:14:21these procedures should be there to protect the public. That is not
0:14:21 > 0:14:28protecting the public.The driver is still being investigated on
0:14:28 > 0:14:32suspicion of manslaughter. Since the accident Newsbeat signs have gone up
0:14:32 > 0:14:36and there is a new system that vibrates the seat if the driver
0:14:36 > 0:14:40closes their eyes for more than a second. Survivors are living with
0:14:40 > 0:14:46this accident every day.I don't know what to say. It changed my life
0:14:46 > 0:14:47completely.
0:14:47 > 0:14:50It changed my life completely.
0:14:51 > 0:14:54Downing Street says the government is "close to an agreement"
0:14:54 > 0:14:57on the status of the Irish border after Brexit, although there
0:14:57 > 0:14:59is more work to be done.
0:14:59 > 0:15:02The EU says a proposal from the UK is needed by Sunday at the latest,
0:15:02 > 0:15:04in advance of a summit next week.
0:15:04 > 0:15:05Let's speak to our Political Correspondent Chris
0:15:05 > 0:15:07Mason at Westminster.
0:15:07 > 0:15:09The clock is ticking, and the government's under a lot
0:15:09 > 0:15:12of pressure to come up with a solution that
0:15:12 > 0:15:14will satisfy all sides?
0:15:14 > 0:15:21Yes. To describe this as rather tricky would be the mild
0:15:21 > 0:15:25understatement of the morning. As things stand there is no
0:15:25 > 0:15:28breakthrough, said the European Commission said this morning there
0:15:28 > 0:15:33was no white smoke yet, in their words. Downing Street is saying that
0:15:33 > 0:15:40they are close but there is still more work to be done. We now know of
0:15:40 > 0:15:45a new deadline, a redefinition of when the end of this week is. The
0:15:45 > 0:15:48European Commission are saying as far as they are concerned there is
0:15:48 > 0:15:54an till the end of Sunday for the UK to come forward with a new plan.
0:15:54 > 0:15:57Why? On Monday morning civil servants, known as Sherpas because
0:15:57 > 0:16:02they are meant to guide the way to the summit, that European summit
0:16:02 > 0:16:05started a week today that will decide whether or not sufficient
0:16:05 > 0:16:12progress has been made to talk about the next stage, to talk about the
0:16:12 > 0:16:18future relationship. Meanwhile, back here criticism from 19 remain
0:16:18 > 0:16:21supporting Conservative MPs in the direction of their Brexit supporting
0:16:21 > 0:16:25colleagues saying they have acted irresponsibly in restricting the
0:16:25 > 0:16:32Prime Minister, making it harder for her to negotiate. A reminder of the
0:16:32 > 0:16:34multidimensional, multinational, mighty complicated nature of these
0:16:34 > 0:16:40negotiations. There are critics and different compromises to consider.
0:16:40 > 0:16:45Our top story this lunchtime:
0:16:45 > 0:16:48Tear gas and water cannons are used as violence breaks out
0:16:48 > 0:16:51in the Palestinian West Bank, following President Trump's
0:16:51 > 0:16:56recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's capital.
0:16:56 > 0:16:56Coming up:
0:16:56 > 0:17:00'Tis the season to be jolly, and this group of actors is gearing
0:17:00 > 0:17:04up for The Great Muslim Panto.
0:17:04 > 0:17:05Coming up in sport: Russian Sports Federations
0:17:05 > 0:17:08are to decide next week whether they will accept
0:17:08 > 0:17:12an invitation from the IOC for athletes who prove themselves
0:17:12 > 0:17:16"clean" to compete at the Winter Games in Pyeongchang.
0:17:24 > 0:17:26This is the the largest and most expensive warship ever
0:17:26 > 0:17:28built for the Royal Navy.
0:17:28 > 0:17:31The Queen commissioned HMS Queen Elizabeth at a ceremony
0:17:31 > 0:17:34in Portsmouth attended by 4,000 people.
0:17:34 > 0:17:37The ship, which won't take part in military operations until 2021,
0:17:37 > 0:17:43cost more than £3 billion and has become the flagship of the fleet.
0:17:43 > 0:17:53Our defence correspondent Jonathan Beale has been watching it all.
0:17:54 > 0:17:58Well, despite the weather, this is a bright day for the Royal Navy. This
0:17:58 > 0:18:04ship will be in service for the next 50 years. As you say, the largest,
0:18:04 > 0:18:07most expensive warship now being commissioned by Her Majesty the
0:18:07 > 0:18:14Queen into service, and the white ensign raised for the first time.
0:18:17 > 0:18:23A day of pride for the Royal Navy, and a chance to look to the future
0:18:23 > 0:18:28and, for now, forget about recent defence cuts and fears of even more.
0:18:28 > 0:18:32This, the day the nation's largest ever warship is commissioned into
0:18:32 > 0:18:38service.It's been a long, complicated but committed journey to
0:18:38 > 0:18:43get to this point, and commissioning the ship is a key milestone in that.
0:18:43 > 0:18:47It's been one of the biggest engineering projects ever
0:18:47 > 0:18:51undertaken, a national endeavour involving more than 10,000 people
0:18:51 > 0:18:55across the UK, helping build this, the first of two massive new
0:18:55 > 0:19:02carriers, all assembled in Rosyth. Over the past few months, HMS Queen
0:19:02 > 0:19:05Elizabeth and her 700 strong crew have been testing her at Stephen
0:19:05 > 0:19:10Dodd Russia has already described her as a large convenient target.
0:19:10 > 0:19:13But the government says she will be a potent weapon and a symbol of
0:19:13 > 0:19:19British military power. Two years ago, the queen named her. Today, she
0:19:19 > 0:19:28made her first visit on board, in front of 4000 guests in the ship's
0:19:28 > 0:19:32cavernous hangar that will eventually hold the carrier's
0:19:32 > 0:19:38aircraft.May God's blessing be an this ship and your endeavours to
0:19:38 > 0:19:41uphold the endeavours of the Royal Navy in the service hopper Majesty
0:19:41 > 0:19:45the Queen be crowned with success and happiness.And the raising of
0:19:45 > 0:19:50the white ensign for the first time, meaning she is now legally
0:19:50 > 0:19:53recognised as a Royal Navy warship. The nation's future flagship saluted
0:19:53 > 0:20:03with a fly past.A true flagship for the 21st century, the most powerful
0:20:03 > 0:20:09and capable ship ever to raise the white ensign, she will in the years
0:20:09 > 0:20:12and decades ahead represent this country's resolve on the global
0:20:12 > 0:20:19stage.She will be a giant of the sea, but at a price of more than £3
0:20:19 > 0:20:28billion. The jet that will fly off her will cost millions more. And,
0:20:28 > 0:20:33despite the cheering, this at a time when there is talk of further
0:20:33 > 0:20:38defence cuts.
0:20:38 > 0:20:42This is another milestone, not the end of the journey. Next year, Queen
0:20:42 > 0:20:46Elizabeth will be conducting flight trials, first with helicopters and
0:20:46 > 0:20:54then with those US 35 jets, each costing about £100 million, and then
0:20:54 > 0:20:58she will go on her first military deployments in 2021.
0:20:58 > 0:21:00Bath Spa University has defended its decision
0:21:00 > 0:21:02to give its departing Vice Chancellor £808,000
0:21:02 > 0:21:04in pay and benefits.
0:21:04 > 0:21:08It comes a week after the vice-chancellor at neighbouring
0:21:08 > 0:21:10Bath University announced she was resigning,
0:21:10 > 0:21:13following controversy over her pay.
0:21:13 > 0:21:19Adina Campbell reports.
0:21:19 > 0:21:24Known for its popular teacher training courses, Bath Spa
0:21:24 > 0:21:28University prides itself as one of the UK's leading creative
0:21:28 > 0:21:34institutions. It's also one of the country's smallest universities, but
0:21:34 > 0:21:39it's now been revealed that payments to its departing Vice Chancellor,
0:21:39 > 0:21:44Professor Christina Slade, are thought to be the highest in the
0:21:44 > 0:21:46university sector, reigniting anger about excessive Vice Chancellor
0:21:46 > 0:21:53play.£800,000 for a former vice Chancellor is outrageous, and for
0:21:53 > 0:21:57Bath Spa University to be paying this shows they are accountable to
0:21:57 > 0:22:01nobody in effect. We need an independent enquiry into vice
0:22:01 > 0:22:05chancellors' pay and, until that's done, I think the government should
0:22:05 > 0:22:09impose a cap of no more than £200,000 for any Vice Chancellor per
0:22:09 > 0:22:18year.Bath Spa University said it paid Professor Slade a sum which
0:22:18 > 0:22:20reflected her contractual and statutory entitlements and was
0:22:20 > 0:22:24considered to represent value for money. On top of her quarter of £1
0:22:24 > 0:22:31million salary, Professor Christina Slade was also paid £429,000 for
0:22:31 > 0:22:38loss of salary, £89,000 of pension contributions, plus a housing
0:22:38 > 0:22:44allowance and other benefits amounting to £40,000. A total of
0:22:44 > 0:22:51£808,000.You are talking an enormous amount of money, and you
0:22:51 > 0:22:56are talking about this set against students having high levels of debt,
0:22:56 > 0:23:00staff finding their pensions are being attacked, knowing that they
0:23:00 > 0:23:06have a system that is under real pressure.This isn't the first time
0:23:06 > 0:23:12that Bath has hit the headlines over Vice Chancellor play. Last week,
0:23:12 > 0:23:14Professor Dame Glynis broke well, Britain's highest-paid Vice
0:23:14 > 0:23:20Chancellor, announced she was resigning from Bath University in a
0:23:20 > 0:23:27row over her £468,000 salary. -- Glynis Breakwell. The government has
0:23:27 > 0:23:33told universities from next year they have to justify paying staff
0:23:33 > 0:23:35more than £155,000, in what campaigners say is a bloated and out
0:23:35 > 0:23:46of date big bucks system.
0:23:47 > 0:23:51A senior counterterrorism officer has pleaded guilty to leaving
0:23:51 > 0:23:55confidential documents in a car. He admitted leaving them in a car for
0:23:55 > 0:24:0145 days before they were stolen in May. -- for four or five days.
0:24:01 > 0:24:03An investigation has been launched into whether Momentum,
0:24:03 > 0:24:05which supports Jeremy Corbyn, broke spending rules
0:24:05 > 0:24:06during the general election.
0:24:06 > 0:24:08The Electoral Commission is considering if the grassroots
0:24:08 > 0:24:10campaigning organisation spent more money than is legally allowed,
0:24:10 > 0:24:13and if it accurately recorded donations.
0:24:13 > 0:24:16There's been yet another outbreak of wildfire in southern California,
0:24:16 > 0:24:18hitting the state's main costal highway and reaching
0:24:18 > 0:24:21the Pacific Ocean.
0:24:21 > 0:24:24The homes of more than 150,000 people have been evacuated
0:24:24 > 0:24:26in an area north of Los Angeles, and hundreds of buildings
0:24:26 > 0:24:27have been damaged.
0:24:27 > 0:24:31James Cook has sent this report.
0:24:31 > 0:24:35No one can escape from nature, not even in Bel-Air,
0:24:35 > 0:24:37one of the wealthiest suburbs on earth.
0:24:37 > 0:24:40All day, there's been a battle to save homes here,
0:24:40 > 0:24:43and the owners have been rushing to grab what they can as they flee
0:24:43 > 0:24:45from their mansions.
0:24:45 > 0:24:47We built this house 13 years ago.
0:24:47 > 0:24:48Never seen anything like it.
0:24:48 > 0:24:50Do you think the firefighters are going to save it?
0:24:50 > 0:24:51They are my heroes.
0:24:51 > 0:24:53I'm hoping.
0:24:53 > 0:24:55It's in God's and the firefighters' hands.
0:24:55 > 0:24:58And those heroes are being helped by much lighter winds, for now.
0:24:58 > 0:25:02So, with the potential winds, OK, and the fires developing,
0:25:02 > 0:25:08those embers can fly a distance away, spark-firing canyons below us.
0:25:08 > 0:25:11And you are worried that that might be what happens,
0:25:11 > 0:25:13because the winds are forecast to get up?
0:25:13 > 0:25:14That's correct.
0:25:14 > 0:25:17The media mogul Rupert Murdoch's vineyard property is one of those
0:25:17 > 0:25:19which is smouldering, but helicopters have been making
0:25:19 > 0:25:22good use of the lull in the weather.
0:25:22 > 0:25:27Well, these firefighters are now battling a blaze in one of the most
0:25:27 > 0:25:30exclusive neighbourhoods in Los Angeles.
0:25:30 > 0:25:32We are surrounded by expensive homes, and this fire is likely
0:25:32 > 0:25:36to get worse this afternoon, when the winds pick up.
0:25:36 > 0:25:39It was in the beach-side city of Ventura where the first wildfire
0:25:39 > 0:25:42exploded with terrifying speed.
0:25:42 > 0:25:47Driven by ferocious desert winds whipping down the dusty canyons.
0:25:47 > 0:25:51And last night it jumped the main coastal motorway,
0:25:51 > 0:25:54causing terror for drivers.
0:25:54 > 0:25:55To the left is Bel-Air.
0:25:55 > 0:25:59To the right is, hmm...
0:25:59 > 0:26:01Is that Brentwood?
0:26:01 > 0:26:06Is Brentwood.
0:26:06 > 0:26:09It has barely rained here in LA for six months, and you can tell.
0:26:09 > 0:26:12Many scientists say climate change is driving more frequent and more
0:26:12 > 0:26:14destructive wildfires.
0:26:14 > 0:26:18For California, this is yet another grim wake-up call.
0:26:18 > 0:26:22James Cook, BBC News, Los Angeles.
0:26:24 > 0:26:26Australia's parliament has voted overwhelmingly
0:26:26 > 0:26:29to legalise same-sex marriages, after months of intense
0:26:29 > 0:26:31nationwide debate.
0:26:31 > 0:26:33There was cheering, clapping and hugging as parliament's lower
0:26:33 > 0:26:35house approved the measure.
0:26:35 > 0:26:37A national poll showed a majority of Australians
0:26:37 > 0:26:42were in favour of same-sex unions.
0:26:43 > 0:26:45Chart-topping singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran has been awarded an MBE
0:26:45 > 0:26:48by the Prince of Wales for his musical achievements
0:26:48 > 0:26:50and his charity work.
0:26:50 > 0:26:52The award-winning celebrity,
0:26:52 > 0:26:55whose latest album Divided spent more than 15 weeks at the top
0:26:55 > 0:26:59of the charts, received the honour at Buckingham Palace.
0:27:05 > 0:27:07World heritage status - conferred by the Unesco -
0:27:07 > 0:27:10is usually awarded to buildings or to sites of special importance.
0:27:10 > 0:27:12But today the art of Neapolitan pizza-making has been honoured
0:27:12 > 0:27:13by the cultural body.
0:27:13 > 0:27:15Pizza-makers in Naples say they'll celebrate by giving out -
0:27:15 > 0:27:17guess what - free pizza in the streets.
0:27:17 > 0:27:19James Reynolds has been hoping to get a slice.
0:27:20 > 0:27:22You might not think that pizza here in Naples
0:27:22 > 0:27:23needs Unesco protection.
0:27:23 > 0:27:25There are plenty of people queueing up.
0:27:25 > 0:27:27But it's now of the world's intangible heritage.
0:27:27 > 0:27:30If I can get past here, I want to show you how it's done.
0:27:30 > 0:27:34This is the pizza maker.
0:27:34 > 0:27:37Unesco decided what he's doing here...
0:27:37 > 0:27:39Have a look at how he's kneading the dough.
0:27:39 > 0:27:41What he's doing here is unique to Naples.
0:27:41 > 0:27:45It may be copied across the world, but it started here first.
0:27:45 > 0:27:46THEY SPEAK ITALIAN.
0:27:46 > 0:27:48He's very happy.
0:27:48 > 0:27:50Obviously, a leading question.
0:27:50 > 0:27:52Then have a look here at what happens to the world's
0:27:52 > 0:27:55intangible heritage.
0:27:55 > 0:27:57It goes into the oven for about two minutes.
0:27:57 > 0:28:04It may be intangible but, in the end, you can eat it.
0:28:13 > 0:28:18James Reynolds in Naples, hoping to sample some world heritage pizza.
0:28:18 > 0:28:20What's thought to be Britain's first-ever Muslim pantomime
0:28:20 > 0:28:29premiers this month.
0:28:29 > 0:28:32It will be touring six cities.
0:28:32 > 0:28:34BBC Asian Network's Shabnam Mahmood has more.
0:28:34 > 0:28:37Final rehearsals for the Great Muslim Panto,
0:28:37 > 0:28:40billed as the first of its kind.
0:28:40 > 0:28:42It's not much different from your average production,
0:28:42 > 0:28:44but this one's been made with Muslims in mind and includes
0:28:44 > 0:28:49a regular from the BBC hit comedy Citizen Khan.
0:28:49 > 0:28:52It's a Muslim cast, a full Muslim cast for the first time,
0:28:52 > 0:28:55and the storyline is a little bit different as well.
0:28:55 > 0:28:58There's a bit of good teaching Islam implemented in it as well.
0:28:58 > 0:29:01We get a lot of stick from certain people who say
0:29:01 > 0:29:04that we don't integrate enough, but you can't get more integrated
0:29:04 > 0:29:06than a Muslim panto, can you?
0:29:06 > 0:29:10# So the story goes...
0:29:10 > 0:29:14Although it follows the real life story of an orphan girl,
0:29:14 > 0:29:18the production keeps in mind the traditional Christmas pantos -
0:29:18 > 0:29:22plenty of songs, costume changes and comedy.
0:29:22 > 0:29:26It's been created and performed by a Muslim family cast of seven,
0:29:26 > 0:29:28which includes the baby.
0:29:28 > 0:29:32It's got all the traditional slapstick, it's got the "He's behind
0:29:32 > 0:29:36you", all of that in it, but it's just got a bit
0:29:36 > 0:29:37of our history, too.
0:29:37 > 0:29:40It's actually an opportunity for people like Muslim women to say,
0:29:40 > 0:29:44you know what, I wear a hijab but I can still go on stage and act
0:29:44 > 0:29:47and I can still do my dream, so we're giving a platform for them.
0:29:47 > 0:29:51The performance is not just restricted to a Muslim audience
0:29:51 > 0:29:55but organisers are hoping for more people from the Islamic faith
0:29:55 > 0:29:57to come to the show, proving that pantomime
0:29:57 > 0:30:00is for everyone.
0:30:00 > 0:30:02I told you to poison the red apple!
0:30:02 > 0:30:05I did poison the red apple.
0:30:05 > 0:30:09The Great Muslim Panto will tour six cities across the country
0:30:09 > 0:30:12and is expected to raise thousands of pounds for charity.
0:30:12 > 0:30:16Shabnam Mahmood, BBC News.
0:30:17 > 0:30:19Time for a look at the weather.
0:30:19 > 0:30:21Here's Louise Lear.
0:30:25 > 0:30:32As storm Caroline arrived? Yes, and she is influencing the
0:30:32 > 0:30:36weather story, but not you would think, because we have storm force
0:30:36 > 0:30:39winds across the north of Scotland and an amber weather warning in
0:30:39 > 0:30:43force but, once this frontal system plays away, it's going to open
0:30:43 > 0:30:47floodgates for bitterly cold Arctic air to push right across the
0:30:47 > 0:30:51country. It will feel pretty miserable out there for the next
0:30:51 > 0:30:55couple of days, a really wintry flavour to the weather. For now,
0:30:55 > 0:30:59we've still got some rain in the far south-east to tearaway. Behind it,
0:30:59 > 0:31:04some brightness and sunshine coming through before a cluster shells
0:31:04 > 0:31:07develops, some of them heavy and sundry with some hail and eventually
0:31:07 > 0:31:12smoke as we go through the end of the day. It will be a miserable end
0:31:12 > 0:31:15to the day across Scotland, blizzard like conditions here with the snow
0:31:15 > 0:31:19and feeling bitterly cold. We've seen the warmest of the weather,
0:31:19 > 0:31:24believe it or not, across England and Wales this morning, but the cold
0:31:24 > 0:31:29air starting to filter down from the north, and that will continue to
0:31:29 > 0:31:33exacerbate the shower through the night, falling as snow across
0:31:33 > 0:31:35Scotland, into Northern Ireland, through the Cheshire gap towards
0:31:35 > 0:31:40Wales as well. A cold start to Friday, with temperatures hover ring
0:31:40 > 0:31:46either side of freezing. If you are roads early on with some snow
0:31:46 > 0:31:50showers, lying snow a possibility, and some ice on the road but it's
0:31:50 > 0:31:54worth tuning in to your BBC local radio stations for travel and
0:31:54 > 0:32:00traffic updates. Look how widespread the showers are at 8am, blown in by
0:32:00 > 0:32:03gale force winds. A miserable start for much of Scotland and Northern
0:32:03 > 0:32:06Ireland, running down through the Isle of Man, through the Cheshire
0:32:06 > 0:32:10gap and towards the north Midlands and Wales, which is where we are
0:32:10 > 0:32:15likely to see the most frequent showers in the early morning. A cold
0:32:15 > 0:32:19start elsewhere, but a dry one, with some glimpses of sunshine for some,
0:32:19 > 0:32:24particularly eastern England. The north-westerly wind always driving
0:32:24 > 0:32:29in the showers, chiefly to north and west facing coasts, but some of
0:32:29 > 0:32:33those will filter inland, so we could see some accumulations by the
0:32:33 > 0:32:36end of the afternoon, five to ten centimetres across England and
0:32:36 > 0:32:41Wales, ten to 20 centimetres across Scotland, and it will feel raw at
0:32:41 > 0:32:47fair. You will need to wrap up warm. On Friday and Saturday, a cold and
0:32:47 > 0:32:53frosty start, a few showers but not as frequent and a quieter day, with
0:32:53 > 0:32:56some sunshine, but bitterly cold. On Sunday, you will need to keep
0:32:56 > 0:32:59abreast of the forecasts if you've got outdoor plans, because this
0:32:59 > 0:33:03weather system as it comes in is going to bump into the cold air and
0:33:03 > 0:33:07on the leading edge there will be some snow, but there is a great deal
0:33:07 > 0:33:09of uncertainty about that.
0:33:09 > 0:33:15A reminder of our main story this lunchtime:
0:33:15 > 0:33:21Tear gas and water cannons are used as violence breaks out
