Good afternoon. | 0:00:20 | 0:00:23 | |
Air investigators in Australia say
it may take many months before | 0:00:23 | 0:00:26 | |
they know why a seaplane carrying
a prominent British businessman, | 0:00:26 | 0:00:30 | |
and four members of his family,
crashed on New Year's Eve. | 0:00:30 | 0:00:35 | |
Richard Cousins, who ran
the catering giant Compass, | 0:00:35 | 0:00:38 | |
was killed along with his two sons,
his fiance, her daughter | 0:00:38 | 0:00:40 | |
and the pilot. | 0:00:40 | 0:00:42 | |
Phil Mercer reports. | 0:00:42 | 0:00:47 | |
The wreckage of the seaplane lies 13
metres below the surface | 0:00:47 | 0:00:50 | |
of the Hawkesbury River. | 0:00:50 | 0:00:54 | |
One of the victims was the British
businessman, Richard Cousins, | 0:00:54 | 0:00:56 | |
the chief executive of the world's
largest catering firm, | 0:00:56 | 0:00:58 | |
Compass, who was due
to retire later this year. | 0:00:58 | 0:01:02 | |
The company confirmed his
death in a statement. | 0:01:02 | 0:01:06 | |
Mr Cousins, who was 58, died
alongside his fiancee, Emma Bowden, | 0:01:06 | 0:01:08 | |
and her 11-year-old daughter,
Heather. | 0:01:08 | 0:01:13 | |
Also on board the seaplane that
crashed into Jerusalem Bay, | 0:01:13 | 0:01:17 | |
William Cousins, 25,
who worked for Open Britain - | 0:01:17 | 0:01:20 | |
a pro-EU group set up
in the aftermath of the Brexit vote. | 0:01:20 | 0:01:25 | |
Colleagues said that they were
shocked by news of his death. | 0:01:25 | 0:01:28 | |
His brother, Edward, who was 23,
had recently graduated | 0:01:28 | 0:01:31 | |
from the University of St Andrews. | 0:01:31 | 0:01:35 | |
The pilot, Gareth Morgan, had done
more than 10,000 flying hours, | 0:01:35 | 0:01:38 | |
9,000 of which were on seaplanes. | 0:01:38 | 0:01:43 | |
The pilot had collected Mr Cousins
and members of his family | 0:01:43 | 0:01:46 | |
from an exclusive waterfront
restaurant and was heading back | 0:01:46 | 0:01:56 | |
to Rose Bay on Sydney Harbour
shortly after take-off, | 0:02:02 | 0:02:04 | |
the plane plummeted into the water. | 0:02:04 | 0:02:05 | |
Investigators say it quickly sank
and there were no survivors. | 0:02:05 | 0:02:13 | |
These are people who have come out
on holiday to visit Australia in one | 0:02:13 | 0:02:16 | |
of the most beautiful parts
of the world. | 0:02:16 | 0:02:18 | |
And for this to happen to them
in a place like that is nothing | 0:02:18 | 0:02:21 | |
more than just tragic. | 0:02:21 | 0:02:23 | |
It could take months to work out how
and why a routine sightseeing trip | 0:02:23 | 0:02:26 | |
could end in utter disaster. | 0:02:26 | 0:02:28 | |
Air crash investigators
have begun their work. | 0:02:28 | 0:02:30 | |
Their task won't be easy. | 0:02:30 | 0:02:31 | |
The wreckage of the seaplane has
been submerged in more | 0:02:31 | 0:02:34 | |
than 40 feet of water. | 0:02:34 | 0:02:36 | |
And although these idyllic bays
and inlets are geographically close | 0:02:36 | 0:02:39 | |
to Sydney, the crash site is tucked
away and hard to get to. | 0:02:39 | 0:02:43 | |
Sydney Seaplanes,
which owns the aircraft, | 0:02:43 | 0:02:46 | |
has suspended all its flights
until further notice. | 0:02:46 | 0:02:49 | |
Phil Mercer, BBC News, Sydney. | 0:02:49 | 0:02:54 | |
The leader of North Korea,
Kim Jong-un, has warned | 0:02:54 | 0:02:57 | |
the United States that he has
a nuclear button on his desk, | 0:02:57 | 0:03:00 | |
ready for use, if his
country feels threatened. | 0:03:00 | 0:03:04 | |
The comments came during a televised
New Year's Day speech | 0:03:04 | 0:03:07 | |
in which he also said that he wanted
to lower military tensions | 0:03:07 | 0:03:10 | |
with neighbouring South Korea,
from where our correspondent | 0:03:10 | 0:03:13 | |
Sophie Long reports. | 0:03:13 | 0:03:21 | |
Just after the first sun of 2018
rose over the Korean peninsular, | 0:03:21 | 0:03:24 | |
Kim Jong-un delivered his new year's
address live on state-run | 0:03:24 | 0:03:30 | |
television, with an
unsurprisingly defiant message | 0:03:30 | 0:03:32 | |
for the United States. | 0:03:32 | 0:03:36 | |
TRANSLATION: The entire
United States is within range | 0:03:36 | 0:03:38 | |
of our nuclear weapons
and the nuclear button | 0:03:38 | 0:03:40 | |
is always on my desk. | 0:03:40 | 0:03:41 | |
This is reality, not a threat. | 0:03:41 | 0:03:45 | |
Perhaps more surprising
was the olive branch he appeared | 0:03:45 | 0:03:48 | |
to offer his neighbour,
South Korea. | 0:03:48 | 0:03:52 | |
He said he hoped the Winter Olympics
they're about to host | 0:03:52 | 0:03:54 | |
would be a success, and said
he was considering sending | 0:03:54 | 0:03:57 | |
a delegation to the Games. | 0:03:57 | 0:04:02 | |
That comes as music to the ears
of violinist Mun Kyong-jin. | 0:04:02 | 0:04:06 | |
For ten years he has tried
and failed to organise a peace | 0:04:06 | 0:04:09 | |
concert with these young
South Koreans playing together | 0:04:09 | 0:04:11 | |
with North Korean musicians. | 0:04:11 | 0:04:15 | |
He now hopes to make that happen
at the Pyeonchang opening ceremony. | 0:04:15 | 0:04:21 | |
We have hope that the Olympics
is coming and with the Olympics, | 0:04:21 | 0:04:24 | |
everyone is coming. | 0:04:24 | 0:04:25 | |
And it is beyond
political difficulties. | 0:04:25 | 0:04:31 | |
So I really wish North Korea
would come and especially | 0:04:31 | 0:04:35 | |
with the musicians and we will be
able to play together. | 0:04:35 | 0:04:38 | |
The South Korean government has
welcomed those words | 0:04:38 | 0:04:41 | |
from the North Korean leader,
saying it too was willing | 0:04:41 | 0:04:43 | |
to engage in dialogue. | 0:04:43 | 0:04:45 | |
After a year of nuclear tests
and missile launchers, | 0:04:45 | 0:04:49 | |
After a year of nuclear tests
and missile launches, | 0:04:49 | 0:04:52 | |
young Koreans welcomed
in the new year with hope that | 0:04:52 | 0:04:54 | |
tensions might now reduce, if only
in the very immediate future. | 0:04:54 | 0:04:59 | |
As a citizen of this country,
it's all I can really wish for. | 0:04:59 | 0:05:03 | |
It is obvious to anyone in the world
that we are in a very tense | 0:05:03 | 0:05:06 | |
situation right now,
and I think that means we have | 0:05:06 | 0:05:09 | |
hope for the future. | 0:05:09 | 0:05:10 | |
Sophie Long, BBC News, Seoul. | 0:05:10 | 0:05:13 | |
The Metropolitan Police have said
that four young men have been | 0:05:13 | 0:05:16 | |
stabbed to death on New Year's Eve,
in a series of apparently | 0:05:16 | 0:05:19 | |
unrelated attacks. | 0:05:19 | 0:05:20 | |
Three men, aged 17,18 and 20,
were killed yesterday. | 0:05:20 | 0:05:23 | |
A fourth victim, another
20-year-old, died after been stabbed | 0:05:23 | 0:05:27 | |
in the Old Street area
of East London in the early | 0:05:27 | 0:05:29 | |
hours of this morning. | 0:05:29 | 0:05:32 | |
Officer say the murders
highlight the scale of knife | 0:05:32 | 0:05:37 | |
Officers say the murders
highlight the scale of knife | 0:05:37 | 0:05:39 | |
crime in the capital. | 0:05:39 | 0:05:41 | |
Tragically, there are four families
who awake this morning | 0:05:41 | 0:05:43 | |
to the heartbreaking news that
they've lost loved ones | 0:05:43 | 0:05:45 | |
to the callous use of
knives as lethal weapons. | 0:05:45 | 0:05:50 | |
Detectives are working tirelessly
today and going forward, | 0:05:50 | 0:05:52 | |
to bring those who committed these
murderers to justice. | 0:05:52 | 0:06:01 | |
A huge fire has destroyed up to 1400
vehicles in a multistorey | 0:06:01 | 0:06:03 | |
car park in Liverpool. | 0:06:03 | 0:06:05 | |
The blaze at King's Dock,
next to Liverpool's Echo Arena, | 0:06:05 | 0:06:07 | |
is said to have started accidentally
in one car and spread to others. | 0:06:07 | 0:06:11 | |
Many people were forced
into temporary accommodation | 0:06:11 | 0:06:13 | |
as nearby buildings were evacuated. | 0:06:13 | 0:06:15 | |
Danny Savage is at the scene now. | 0:06:15 | 0:06:23 | |
Danny, what is the situation this
lunchtime? The fire is out but you | 0:06:23 | 0:06:30 | |
can see how badly damaged this
multistorey car park is. There are | 0:06:30 | 0:06:34 | |
hundreds and hundreds of cars in
there that have been totally | 0:06:34 | 0:06:38 | |
destroyed. There was an
international horse show going on | 0:06:38 | 0:06:41 | |
with stabling on the ground floor
and the horses had to be led to | 0:06:41 | 0:06:45 | |
safety. On the open-air top level,
there have been cars left overnight | 0:06:45 | 0:06:49 | |
with dogs in them. Early this
morning... | 0:06:49 | 0:06:55 | |
It was shortly after dark yesterday
evening when fire took hold | 0:06:55 | 0:06:58 | |
in the multistorey car park
on Liverpool's famous waterfront. | 0:06:58 | 0:07:03 | |
It is understood a small fire
in one car spread rapidly, | 0:07:03 | 0:07:07 | |
destroying vehicles and then moving
on to all levels of the car park. | 0:07:07 | 0:07:12 | |
It was soon a huge blaze. | 0:07:12 | 0:07:16 | |
Merseyside Fire and Rescue say
it's one of the worst | 0:07:16 | 0:07:19 | |
they've ever dealt with. | 0:07:19 | 0:07:21 | |
All the car owners could do
was watch and accept they would | 0:07:21 | 0:07:24 | |
never see their vehicles again. | 0:07:24 | 0:07:25 | |
I've got a vehicle in there, yes. | 0:07:25 | 0:07:28 | |
I'm unsure at the moment
when it's going to be. | 0:07:28 | 0:07:30 | |
We can't get anywhere near it. | 0:07:30 | 0:07:32 | |
Do you hold out much
hope for your car? | 0:07:32 | 0:07:34 | |
Looking at the flames, no. | 0:07:34 | 0:07:39 | |
Nearby flats and a hotel
were evacuated too as the alarming | 0:07:39 | 0:07:43 | |
sight of the massive fire attracted
lots of onlookers. | 0:07:43 | 0:07:48 | |
The fire's still going on. | 0:07:48 | 0:07:50 | |
I can just see black
smoke everywhere. | 0:07:50 | 0:07:54 | |
The car park is attached
to the Liverpool Arena, | 0:07:54 | 0:07:57 | |
where an international horse show
was taking place. | 0:07:57 | 0:08:01 | |
All the animals were
quickly led to safety. | 0:08:01 | 0:08:05 | |
This morning, the blackened building
was surrounded by fire engines | 0:08:05 | 0:08:08 | |
as experts assess the site. | 0:08:08 | 0:08:11 | |
The concern is that the car
park may collapse. | 0:08:11 | 0:08:16 | |
This spectacular fire certainly
caused a huge amount of damage. | 0:08:16 | 0:08:19 | |
The insurance bill for
the cars alone will be | 0:08:19 | 0:08:22 | |
several million pounds. | 0:08:22 | 0:08:25 | |
The good fortune was
that no one was hurt. | 0:08:25 | 0:08:27 | |
Danny Savage, BBC News, Liverpool. | 0:08:27 | 0:08:36 | |
More protesters have been
killed in anti-government | 0:08:36 | 0:08:37 | |
demonstrations in Iran. | 0:08:37 | 0:08:39 | |
State-run media says ten people have
died in protests in the last week. | 0:08:39 | 0:08:42 | |
President Rouhani says people
have the right to protest, | 0:08:42 | 0:08:45 | |
but violence is unacceptable. | 0:08:45 | 0:08:49 | |
From Sydney to Hong Kong,
London to New York, | 0:08:49 | 0:08:51 | |
cities across the world have been
ringing in 2018 with | 0:08:51 | 0:08:53 | |
spectacular firework displays. | 0:08:53 | 0:08:56 | |
One of the biggest New Year's
parties was on the banks | 0:08:56 | 0:08:59 | |
of the River Thames,
where Caroline Davies' | 0:08:59 | 0:09:01 | |
report begins. | 0:09:01 | 0:09:06 | |
BELL CHIMES. | 0:09:06 | 0:09:08 | |
Even Big Ben couldn't
miss this party. | 0:09:08 | 0:09:12 | |
Despite being under repair, it rang,
marking the start of 2018 in London | 0:09:12 | 0:09:18 | |
along with 12,000 fireworks. | 0:09:18 | 0:09:22 | |
This year's soundtrack
was dominated by female artists. | 0:09:22 | 0:09:28 | |
2018 is 100 years since women
first got the vote. | 0:09:28 | 0:09:33 | |
Celebrations are planned. | 0:09:33 | 0:09:35 | |
Just one thing
the year has in store. | 0:09:35 | 0:09:37 | |
The best year ever. | 0:09:37 | 0:09:39 | |
We're going to get our careers. | 0:09:39 | 0:09:40 | |
We're going to get into university. | 0:09:40 | 0:09:42 | |
Get into university! | 0:09:42 | 0:09:43 | |
It's going to be good. | 0:09:43 | 0:09:46 | |
In Scotland, Storm Dylan had brought
winds of up to 70 mph but it wasn't | 0:09:46 | 0:09:50 | |
enough to dampen spirits
for Hogmanay in Edinburgh. | 0:09:50 | 0:09:54 | |
In Sydney, the Harbour Bridge lit
up in rainbow colours, | 0:09:54 | 0:09:57 | |
a tribute to the year Australia
voted to legalise same-sex marriage. | 0:09:57 | 0:10:05 | |
Around the world, cities
celebrated the start of 2018. | 0:10:05 | 0:10:09 | |
Hong Kong erupted. | 0:10:09 | 0:10:12 | |
Athens glowed. | 0:10:12 | 0:10:14 | |
And Moscow sparkled. | 0:10:14 | 0:10:17 | |
In New York, thousands
watched in Times Square | 0:10:17 | 0:10:19 | |
as the New Year's Eve ball dropped. | 0:10:19 | 0:10:26 | |
In Rio, more than 2 million people
gathered on Copacabana Beach, | 0:10:26 | 0:10:28 | |
welcoming in 2018 with high hopes
of a bright year to come. | 0:10:28 | 0:10:33 | |

That's it from me. | 0:10:36 | 0:10:38 | |
The next news on BBC One
is at 6.30, bye for now. | 0:10:38 | 0:10:41 |
