The biggest rise in rail
fares for five years, | 0:00:05 | 0:00:08 | |
as average prices go up 3.4%. | 0:00:08 | 0:00:16 | |
As commuters get back
to work after the holidays, | 0:00:16 | 0:00:18 | |
campaigners say some people
are being priced off the railways. | 0:00:18 | 0:00:23 | |
It is not value for money,
it is as simple as that. | 0:00:23 | 0:00:26 | |
What you're paying for for
the rail fares does not | 0:00:26 | 0:00:28 | |
represent what you're
actually getting. | 0:00:28 | 0:00:30 | |
We'll hear more from
commuters shortly. | 0:00:30 | 0:00:31 | |
Also this lunchtime... | 0:00:31 | 0:00:33 | |
Iran's Supreme leader blames foreign

No more than two low-calorie snacks
a day - parents are urged to reduce | 0:00:42 | 0:00:47 | |

champion to win the world
championship title. | 0:01:09 | 0:01:13 | |
And coming up in the sport,
Andy Murray reveals he's been left | 0:01:13 | 0:01:15 | |
demoralised trying to come back
from a long-term hip injury | 0:01:15 | 0:01:18 | |
and is considering surgery. | 0:01:18 | 0:01:20 | |
Good afternoon and welcome
to the BBC News at One. | 0:01:41 | 0:01:45 | |
Rail passengers, commuting
on the first working day of 2018, | 0:01:45 | 0:01:51 | |
have been hit with the largest fare
rise in five years. | 0:01:51 | 0:01:54 | |
Average ticket prices
across the country went up | 0:01:54 | 0:01:57 | |
by 3.4% this morning,
prompting protests outside around | 0:01:57 | 0:01:59 | |
40 railway stations. | 0:01:59 | 0:02:03 | |
Campaigners warn the rise is pricing
ordinary people off the railways, | 0:02:03 | 0:02:06 | |
but the Rail Delivery Group,
which represents train operators, | 0:02:06 | 0:02:08 | |
says higher fares will lead
to better services. | 0:02:08 | 0:02:15 | |
Our transport correspondent,
Richard Westcott, is outside | 0:02:15 | 0:02:16 | |
London King's Cross station. | 0:02:16 | 0:02:24 | |
It is becoming as predictable as the
drizzle at Christmas, the annual | 0:02:24 | 0:02:28 | |
fare rise. This is the biggest one
since 2013. It has taken lots more | 0:02:28 | 0:02:33 | |
people into the £5,000 club, £5,000
a year just to get to work. One of | 0:02:33 | 0:02:39 | |
the busiest stations in the country
is King's Cross behind me, a lot of | 0:02:39 | 0:02:43 | |
the £5,000 people come into here. I
took a journey in with some of them | 0:02:43 | 0:02:49 | |
this morning. | 0:02:49 | 0:02:52 | |
Back to work after the holidays. | 0:02:52 | 0:02:54 | |
Rail commuters are shelling out
for yet another fare rise. | 0:02:54 | 0:02:57 | |
This time it is the biggest
increase for five years. | 0:02:57 | 0:03:00 | |
This is a busy commuter line,
people coming in from Cambridgeshire | 0:03:00 | 0:03:03 | |
and Hertfordshire into London. | 0:03:03 | 0:03:06 | |
Plenty of people on this train
are just a few pounds shy | 0:03:06 | 0:03:09 | |
of the £5,000 club -
£5,000 for an annual season ticket. | 0:03:09 | 0:03:12 | |
That's gone up by about £600
in the last five years. | 0:03:12 | 0:03:16 | |
Price rises have been relentless. | 0:03:16 | 0:03:24 | |
Other countries in Europe do not pay
anywhere near as much as we do | 0:03:24 | 0:03:28 | |
and their services tend to be better
than ours, so I don't know | 0:03:28 | 0:03:31 | |
why we have to pay such
a lot of money for such | 0:03:31 | 0:03:34 | |
a poor service, really. | 0:03:34 | 0:03:35 | |
On the way home, it's
normally a massive crowd | 0:03:35 | 0:03:37 | |
of people at King's Cross,
all trying to get on the train | 0:03:37 | 0:03:40 | |
at the same time. | 0:03:40 | 0:03:41 | |
If I am not more than five minutes
early for the train, | 0:03:41 | 0:03:44 | |
I am definitely not getting
a seat home. | 0:03:44 | 0:03:46 | |
You do not get the choice, really. | 0:03:46 | 0:03:47 | |
We've got to make the commute
from Hertfordshire into London, | 0:03:47 | 0:03:50 | |
so when it is so expensive
and there are cancellations, | 0:03:50 | 0:03:52 | |
especially during winter... | 0:03:52 | 0:03:53 | |
Average fares across Britain go
up by 3.4% this year. | 0:03:53 | 0:03:56 | |
Season tickets, which are regulated
by the Government, go up by 3.6%. | 0:03:56 | 0:04:01 | |
It will add just shy of £150
to the price of a season ticket | 0:04:01 | 0:04:07 | |
for people coming into London
on the strike-riddled line | 0:04:07 | 0:04:10 | |
from Hove in East Sussex. | 0:04:10 | 0:04:11 | |
Nearly £110 to a yearly ticket
from Liverpool to Manchester. | 0:04:11 | 0:04:16 | |
And commuters going to Birmingham
from Gloucester must find | 0:04:16 | 0:04:18 | |
£140 more this year. | 0:04:18 | 0:04:21 | |
This is where a lot
of the money is going. | 0:04:21 | 0:04:23 | |
London Bridge has just had
a £1 billion makeover. | 0:04:23 | 0:04:28 | |
And there is a whole new line coming
under London - Crossrail. | 0:04:28 | 0:04:33 | |
The Government says it is investing
record amounts to improve | 0:04:33 | 0:04:36 | |
the trains, but it is also changing
who foots the bill. | 0:04:36 | 0:04:41 | |
A smaller proportion now comes
from the taxpayer which means more | 0:04:41 | 0:04:43 | |
has to come from ticket sales. | 0:04:43 | 0:04:47 | |
For every £1 a passenger
pays in fares, 97p goes | 0:04:47 | 0:04:49 | |
directly into running
and improving the railway. | 0:04:49 | 0:04:54 | |
But also, with more people
using the railway, that means | 0:04:54 | 0:04:58 | |
we have more money to invest
and enables investment and the sort | 0:04:58 | 0:05:01 | |
of improvement we see here as well. | 0:05:01 | 0:05:06 | |
But the biggest survey suggests
fewer than half of passengers think | 0:05:06 | 0:05:09 | |
they are getting value for money
and the latest figures show | 0:05:09 | 0:05:12 | |
season-ticket journeys have
actually started going down. | 0:05:12 | 0:05:16 | |
Passengers are already putting
in over £9 billion a year | 0:05:16 | 0:05:19 | |
into the railways through the fare
box, it's a lot of money, | 0:05:19 | 0:05:22 | |
and the industry and government
should work much harder to get | 0:05:22 | 0:05:32 | |
better value for money out of that,
so that one year, let's have a fares | 0:05:32 | 0:05:35 | |
freeze for Christmas,
that would be a really good present. | 0:05:35 | 0:05:38 | |
If commuters do put that
on their Christmas list this year, | 0:05:38 | 0:05:40 | |
they are likely to be disappointed. | 0:05:40 | 0:05:42 | |
I said it in the piece, successive
governments, not just this one, have | 0:05:42 | 0:05:46 | |
been changing who pays for the
railways, and much bigger proportion | 0:05:46 | 0:05:50 | |
now comes from ticket sales and the
Government would argue everyone who | 0:05:50 | 0:05:53 | |
does not use a train, they are
paying a little bit less through | 0:05:53 | 0:05:58 | |
taxation. Unfortunately, if you do
get the train, you have no choice, | 0:05:58 | 0:06:02 | |
it means the fare rises are likely
to come for several years yet. | 0:06:02 | 0:06:06 | |
Richard, thank you. Richard

Iran's supreme leader has accused
the country's enemies of stirring | 0:06:10 | 0:06:13 | |
days of protests that have claimed
at least 22 lives. | 0:06:13 | 0:06:15 | |
Ayatollah Ali Khamenei
was speaking for the first time | 0:06:15 | 0:06:18 | |
since demonstrations began last
Thursday. | 0:06:18 | 0:06:21 | |
State media says nine people,
including a child, died overnight | 0:06:21 | 0:06:24 | |
in clashes between demonstrators
and security forces, | 0:06:24 | 0:06:31 | |
as authorities struggle to contain
the biggest challenge | 0:06:31 | 0:06:33 | |
to the country's clerical
leadership since 2009. | 0:06:33 | 0:06:34 | |
This report by our
correspondent, Richard Galpin. | 0:06:34 | 0:06:38 | |
The protests and the authorities'
response to them are becoming | 0:06:38 | 0:06:46 | |
increasingly violent -
buildings being burnt | 0:06:46 | 0:06:47 | |
and shots fired. | 0:06:47 | 0:06:51 | |
Last night, at least nine people
killed, including some members | 0:06:51 | 0:06:53 | |
of the security forces. | 0:06:53 | 0:06:59 | |
The focus of people's anger is this
man, the country's supreme leader, | 0:06:59 | 0:07:02 | |
Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. | 0:07:02 | 0:07:06 | |
The spark for the protests -
rising food prices and unemployment | 0:07:06 | 0:07:08 | |
running at 60% in some areas. | 0:07:08 | 0:07:11 | |
People are actually fed up
with political corruption. | 0:07:11 | 0:07:17 | |
People are fed up with
economic corruption. | 0:07:17 | 0:07:19 | |
And they believe that the only way
to pave the way for a meaningful | 0:07:19 | 0:07:23 | |
change, a meaningful economic
change, is through radical | 0:07:23 | 0:07:24 | |
political reform. | 0:07:24 | 0:07:27 | |
One response of the authorities
has been to hold | 0:07:27 | 0:07:32 | |
big counterdemonstrations like this
in many parts of the country. | 0:07:32 | 0:07:37 | |
But the government's strategy
also includes restricting | 0:07:37 | 0:07:43 | |
access to the internet and placing
the blame for what's | 0:07:43 | 0:07:45 | |
happening on its enemies abroad. | 0:07:45 | 0:07:52 | |
Today, Iran's supreme leader,
Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, spoke | 0:07:52 | 0:07:54 | |
for the first time about the crisis
since it began last week. | 0:07:54 | 0:08:02 | |
TRANSLATION: Following recent
events, the enemies have united | 0:08:02 | 0:08:04 | |
and are using all their means -
money, weapons, policies | 0:08:04 | 0:08:10 | |
and security services -
to create problems | 0:08:10 | 0:08:11 | |
for the Islamic Republic. | 0:08:11 | 0:08:15 | |
The statement is a clear sign
that this widespread unrest | 0:08:15 | 0:08:19 | |
is rattling the clerics,
who have ruled the | 0:08:19 | 0:08:21 | |
country for decades. | 0:08:21 | 0:08:27 | |
This morning, the British Foreign
Secretary, Boris Johnson, called | 0:08:27 | 0:08:31 | |
for meaningful debate
about what he said were legitimate | 0:08:31 | 0:08:34 | |
and important issues
the protesters were raising. | 0:08:34 | 0:08:37 | |
And he said the government
was looking to the Iranian | 0:08:37 | 0:08:39 | |
authorities to permit this. | 0:08:39 | 0:08:41 | |
But with the protests
and violence continuing, | 0:08:41 | 0:08:43 | |
that seems unlikely. | 0:08:43 | 0:08:46 | |
Already more than 400 people have
been arrested. | 0:08:46 | 0:08:51 | |

Parents are being urged
to significantly lower the amount | 0:08:56 | 0:08:58 | |
of sugar their children
consume in snacks. | 0:08:58 | 0:09:03 | |
Public Health England recommends
children should consume a maximum | 0:09:03 | 0:09:05 | |
of two low-calorie snacks a day. | 0:09:05 | 0:09:09 | |
The advice is being given after it's
emerged primary school children | 0:09:09 | 0:09:12 | |
are consuming three times more sugar
than the recommended limit, | 0:09:12 | 0:09:15 | |
as our health correspondent,
James Gallagher, reports. | 0:09:15 | 0:09:23 | |
Half the sugar we eat and drink each
year comes from snacks and sugary | 0:09:23 | 0:09:29 | |
drinks. Kids get through a mountain
of sugary snacks each year, Kate, | 0:09:29 | 0:09:34 | |
ice cream, pop, juice, biscuits,
sweets, chocolate -- cake. Children | 0:09:34 | 0:09:41 | |
need three times more sugar than
official advice, just over half of | 0:09:41 | 0:09:45 | |
it comes from snacking between
meals. It is one reason more than a | 0:09:45 | 0:09:50 | |
quarter of children have rotten
teeth by the time they are five. | 0:09:50 | 0:09:54 | |
This Public Health England campaign
is warning snacking has got out of | 0:09:54 | 0:09:58 | |
hand and it is increasing the risk
of type 2 diabetes, heart disease | 0:09:58 | 0:10:02 | |
and cancer. We are very concerned
about snacking. Children have | 0:10:02 | 0:10:07 | |
unhealthy diets, they are eating too
many calories, they are eating too | 0:10:07 | 0:10:11 | |
much sugar and snacking is part of
the problem. We are encouraging | 0:10:11 | 0:10:20 | |
parents to be aware of snacking and
try to cut back and replace | 0:10:20 | 0:10:22 | |
unhealthy snacks with better snacks.
How do parents feel about snacking? | 0:10:22 | 0:10:24 | |
Kids like sweets, and other sugary
stuff you get from shops and | 0:10:24 | 0:10:28 | |
McDonald's, but it is for the
parents to keep an eye on them and | 0:10:28 | 0:10:33 | |
their intake. To cut down on sugar,
Public Health England is advising | 0:10:33 | 0:10:37 | |
parents to limit snacks to just 100
calories and hand them out no more | 0:10:37 | 0:10:41 | |
than twice a day but the campaign
has drawn criticism. Parents might | 0:10:41 | 0:10:45 | |
find this quite insulting to their
own intelligence because it is | 0:10:45 | 0:10:50 | |
fairly common sense children having
too many snacks, too many sugary | 0:10:50 | 0:10:55 | |
things, they might have health
complications for them down the | 0:10:55 | 0:10:57 | |
line, particularly if they do not
lead an active lifestyle. | 0:10:57 | 0:11:10 | |
But they do not need a quango
telling them. The advice is fruit | 0:11:11 | 0:11:13 | |
and veg are best, but even more
live, low in sugar fromage frais and | 0:11:13 | 0:11:16 | |
crumpets, they are better than
anything in the confectionery aisle. | 0:11:16 | 0:11:19 | |
13 monkeys have been killed
in a fire at Woburn Safari | 0:11:19 | 0:11:21 | |
Park in Bedfordshire. | 0:11:21 | 0:11:22 | |
The blaze broke out in the early
hours of this morning. | 0:11:22 | 0:11:25 | |
Our correspondent,
Chi Chi Izundu, is there. | 0:11:25 | 0:11:27 | |
What more are they saying? The blaze
was first spotted by security staff | 0:11:27 | 0:11:34 | |
at Woburn Safari the part at 2:37am
this morning -- Woburn Safari Park. | 0:11:34 | 0:11:41 | |
Due to the intensity of the heat,
the roof of the monkey house had | 0:11:41 | 0:11:45 | |
collapsed by the time the Fire
Service got there. All 13 monkeys | 0:11:45 | 0:11:49 | |
did not survive. They are normally
kept indoors overnight in winter | 0:11:49 | 0:11:54 | |
because of the cold weather. Staff
here are now monitoring and checking | 0:11:54 | 0:11:59 | |
over other animals in the jungle
drive-through enclosure to make sure | 0:11:59 | 0:12:05 | |
they have not been affected. By the
fire or any of the smoke. So far | 0:12:05 | 0:12:10 | |
early signs indicate they have not
been affected. An investigation is | 0:12:10 | 0:12:14 | |
being conducted to try to establish
exactly what started the blaze and | 0:12:14 | 0:12:19 | |
so far only findings have suggested
it was not started maliciously. -- | 0:12:19 | 0:12:25 | |
early findings. That part of the
park will remain closed, as you can | 0:12:25 | 0:12:29 | |
imagine. The rest of the park
remains open. It comes just ten days | 0:12:29 | 0:12:34 | |
after a fire ripped through London
Zoo killing an aardvark and four | 0:12:34 | 0:12:40 | |
meerkats. Thank you. Chi Chi Izundu
there. | 0:12:40 | 0:12:44 | |
Air accident investigators
in Australia hope to retrieve | 0:12:44 | 0:12:46 | |
the wreckage of a seaplane that
crashed on New Year's Eve | 0:12:46 | 0:12:49 | |
by the end of this week. | 0:12:49 | 0:12:50 | |
All six people on board were killed
- the pilot and a British family | 0:12:50 | 0:12:54 | |
who were on holiday,
including the businessman, | 0:12:54 | 0:12:56 | |
Richard Cousins, the chief executive
of the catering giant, Compass. | 0:12:56 | 0:12:58 | |
The accident happened
just north of Sydney | 0:12:58 | 0:13:00 | |
from where our correspondent,
Phil Mercer, has sent this report. | 0:13:00 | 0:13:04 | |
The wreckage of the seaplane lies
in more than 40 feet of water | 0:13:04 | 0:13:08 | |
on a river bed north of Sydney. | 0:13:08 | 0:13:09 | |
Air crash investigators
are searching for | 0:13:09 | 0:13:11 | |
clues to explain why it crashed,
killing all six people onboard. | 0:13:11 | 0:13:18 | |
What has emerged, however,
is that this is not the first plane | 0:13:18 | 0:13:21 | |
of its type to be involved
in a fatal accident. | 0:13:21 | 0:13:25 | |
Four British holiday-makers died
when a similar seaplane, | 0:13:25 | 0:13:30 | |
a De Havilland DHC-2 Beaver,
went down in Canada in 2015. | 0:13:30 | 0:13:35 | |
Accounts from witnesses will also
help Australian authorities | 0:13:35 | 0:13:37 | |
to establish why a routine
sightseeing flight | 0:13:37 | 0:13:38 | |
ended in disaster. | 0:13:38 | 0:13:45 | |
Will McGovern says he saw his
friends dive into the water | 0:13:45 | 0:13:47 | |
to try to help those trapped
in the plane. | 0:13:47 | 0:13:54 | |
I saw three of my mates dead
set risk their lives. | 0:13:54 | 0:13:56 | |
They could have died. | 0:13:56 | 0:13:57 | |
This plane was moving fast. | 0:13:57 | 0:13:58 | |
It was going down. | 0:13:58 | 0:14:00 | |
It was pretty hard
because of the oil, | 0:14:00 | 0:14:02 | |
but I could see windows,
the windows, we just couldn't dive | 0:14:02 | 0:14:05 | |
down deep enough, really,
to be able to see more. | 0:14:05 | 0:14:07 | |
At least they will know
that there were people there trying | 0:14:07 | 0:14:10 | |
to help and I'm sorry. | 0:14:10 | 0:14:12 | |
The air crash investigation team
is made up of former pilots, | 0:14:12 | 0:14:15 | |
aeronautical engineers,
and data recovery experts. | 0:14:15 | 0:14:19 | |
It is their task to piece
together the events that led | 0:14:19 | 0:14:24 | |
to the tragedy at Jerusalem Bay
to the north of Sydney. | 0:14:24 | 0:14:26 | |
The crucial piece of
evidence, of course, | 0:14:26 | 0:14:30 | |
is the wreckage of the seaplane. | 0:14:30 | 0:14:31 | |
It still lies at the bottom
of the Hawkesbury River. | 0:14:31 | 0:14:33 | |
The authorities hope
to bring it to the surface | 0:14:33 | 0:14:36 | |
by the end of the week. | 0:14:36 | 0:14:38 | |
After it's recovered,
the single-engine aircraft will be | 0:14:38 | 0:14:40 | |
taken to Canberra for examination. | 0:14:40 | 0:14:48 | |
We will be looking at a number
of areas, particularly around | 0:14:48 | 0:14:51 | |
the aircraft's components. | 0:14:51 | 0:14:54 | |
We will be removing those
and examining them. | 0:14:54 | 0:14:58 | |
We will also be looking
at any recorder data that | 0:14:58 | 0:15:01 | |
might be on the aircraft,
so that would involve both | 0:15:01 | 0:15:06 | |
avionics or instruments
attached to the aeroplane. | 0:15:06 | 0:15:11 | |
Aviation experts have speculated
that the seaplane may have stalled | 0:15:11 | 0:15:16 | |
before crashing because of engine
failure, an unexpected gust of wind | 0:15:16 | 0:15:18 | |
or a mistake by the pilot. | 0:15:18 | 0:15:24 | |
A preliminary report
from the Australian Transport Safety | 0:15:24 | 0:15:26 | |
Bureau is expected within a month,
but a more comprehensive | 0:15:26 | 0:15:29 | |
review of the disaster
could take a lot longer. | 0:15:29 | 0:15:33 | |

Our top story this lunchtime... | 0:15:39 | 0:15:41 | |
The biggest rise in train
fares for five years, | 0:15:41 | 0:15:43 | |
as average prices go up 3.4%. | 0:15:43 | 0:15:47 | |
Campaigners say some people
are being priced off the railways. | 0:15:47 | 0:15:51 | |

There's town in Scotland where you
can hire a book shop. Coming up in | 0:15:59 | 0:16:07 | |
sport - Phil Taylor tips Rob Cross
for a big future in the sport after | 0:16:07 | 0:16:13 | |
his shock defeat in the World
Championships final. | 0:16:13 | 0:16:22 | |
For decades, China has been
importing plastic waste | 0:16:22 | 0:16:24 | |
from other countries,
including Britain, for recycling. | 0:16:24 | 0:16:27 | |
But now, it has banned the trade -
citing environmental worries. | 0:16:27 | 0:16:31 | |
It means thousands
of tonnes of plastic - | 0:16:31 | 0:16:33 | |
separated and put into recycling
bins by households here in the UK - | 0:16:33 | 0:16:37 | |
now needs to find a new destination,
which is putting huge pressure | 0:16:37 | 0:16:40 | |
on the British recycling industry. | 0:16:40 | 0:16:44 | |
Some experts believe local
authorities may reduce the number | 0:16:44 | 0:16:46 | |
of collections because of the costs. | 0:16:46 | 0:16:47 | |
Our correspondent Dan Johnson
is at a recycling plant | 0:16:47 | 0:16:50 | |
in Southwark in south London. | 0:16:50 | 0:16:59 | |
Yes, this is the noisy, dirty
reality of recycling our rubbish. | 0:16:59 | 0:17:03 | |
But the hidden story has been the
thousands of tonnes of waste that we | 0:17:03 | 0:17:07 | |
have been quietly shipping to China
for decades. And now that is going | 0:17:07 | 0:17:10 | |
to stop. We have to work out now
what we're going to do with our | 0:17:10 | 0:17:15 | |
rubbish before it all starts piling
up. It could be a huge problem. | 0:17:15 | 0:17:20 | |
All that wrapping paper,
so much Christmas waste. | 0:17:20 | 0:17:24 | |
It is the season
to throw plenty away. | 0:17:24 | 0:17:26 | |
And this is the kind
of place it goes - sorted, | 0:17:26 | 0:17:34 | |
sifted, separated so
it can be recycled. | 0:17:34 | 0:17:36 | |
This
is the same process | 0:17:36 | 0:17:39 | |
on the other side of the world.
is the same process | 0:17:39 | 0:17:40 | |
For decades, China's been
a global | 0:17:40 | 0:17:42 | |
dustbin, taking huge
quantities of | 0:17:42 | 0:17:52 | |
taking huge quantities
of our rubbish and recycling it. | 0:17:55 | 0:17:57 | |
It's become a massive,
complicated business, and now, | 0:17:57 | 0:17:59 | |
China has said no more. | 0:17:59 | 0:18:00 | |
It's got enough waste
of its own to deal with, | 0:18:00 | 0:18:02 | |
so now we have to work out
what we're going to do | 0:18:02 | 0:18:05 | |
with our rubbish. | 0:18:05 | 0:18:08 | |
If you take packaging, for example,
we're collecting about 1.2 million | 0:18:08 | 0:18:10 | |
tonnes of plastic packaging every | 0:18:10 | 0:18:11 | |
year, put in the recycling bins. | 0:18:11 | 0:18:13 | |
But we've relied on 65% of that
tonnage being exported | 0:18:13 | 0:18:15 | |
to overseas markets -
the vast majority has | 0:18:15 | 0:18:17 | |
been going to China. | 0:18:17 | 0:18:18 | |
This is the sort of stuff that might
previously have been sent to China - | 0:18:18 | 0:18:22 | |
different plastic bottles
of different kinds that might be | 0:18:22 | 0:18:24 | |
recycled in different ways. | 0:18:24 | 0:18:25 | |
And if you look at the tomato
ketchup bottle, there's | 0:18:25 | 0:18:29 | |
still some sauce in there. | 0:18:29 | 0:18:31 | |
Now, that's the kind of thing China
is now saying it will not take, | 0:18:31 | 0:18:34 | |
it will not deal with. | 0:18:34 | 0:18:42 | |
So, we've got to work
out what to do with it, | 0:18:42 | 0:18:49 | |
and this company is already
recycling its waste here. | 0:18:49 | 0:18:51 | |
With so much of our plastic
being shipped to China, | 0:18:51 | 0:18:53 | |
there's still a lot more
to deal with. | 0:18:53 | 0:18:55 | |
If we can't send recyclables
to China, there are alternatives | 0:18:55 | 0:18:58 | |
like India, Indonesia,
Malaysia... | 0:18:58 | 0:18:59 | |
There will be other options,
such as sending certain rubbish | 0:18:59 | 0:19:01 | |
to energy from waste plants
if there is literally | 0:19:01 | 0:19:04 | |
nothing else to do with it. | 0:19:04 | 0:19:05 | |
But in the longer term,
we need to be looking | 0:19:05 | 0:19:07 | |
to clean up our waste. | 0:19:07 | 0:19:09 | |
Because quite frankly,
we need to make better | 0:19:09 | 0:19:11 | |
use of it ourselves -
if we have a good quality recycler, | 0:19:11 | 0:19:13 | |
we can do more with it. | 0:19:13 | 0:19:15 | |
The government says it will look
for ways to recycle more here, | 0:19:15 | 0:19:18 | |
and there are calls for better
design, which considers what happens | 0:19:18 | 0:19:22 | |
to products after their useful life,
and for more products to be reused | 0:19:22 | 0:19:25 | |
so we don't produce as much
rubbish in the first place. | 0:19:25 | 0:19:32 | |
You can see how the Boreas this
process is, but this is what has to | 0:19:32 | 0:19:36 | |
be done to ensure that this waste
doesn't have to be shipped abroad. | 0:19:36 | 0:19:40 | |
And if we are not going to centred
abroad, we need to consider, are we | 0:19:40 | 0:19:45 | |
going to go for more landfill? Not
popular. More rubbish and certainly | 0:19:45 | 0:19:49 | |
not popular. Filled more facilities
like this? Not cheap. There are some | 0:19:49 | 0:19:54 | |
big questions to answer about how we
deal with our rubbish. | 0:19:54 | 0:20:01 | |
South Korea has offered
to hold high-level talks | 0:20:01 | 0:20:04 | |
with the North next week -
the first for more than two years. | 0:20:04 | 0:20:07 | |
The offer follows North Korean
Leader Kim Jong Un's New Year | 0:20:07 | 0:20:10 | |
address, in which he announced
the possibility of sending a team | 0:20:10 | 0:20:13 | |
to the Winter Olympics, which take
place in South Korea next month. | 0:20:13 | 0:20:17 | |
Sophie Long reports
from South Korea's capital, Seoul. | 0:20:17 | 0:20:26 | |
As preparations for the winter
Olympics move into the final month, | 0:20:26 | 0:20:29 | |
excitement in South Korea
has been mounting. | 0:20:29 | 0:20:30 | |
But there's always been
a question mark over | 0:20:30 | 0:20:32 | |
whether North Korea would attend. | 0:20:32 | 0:20:33 | |
On New Year's Day, Kim Jong-un said
he was considering sending | 0:20:33 | 0:20:36 | |
a delegation, and now,
the South Korean | 0:20:36 | 0:20:38 | |
government's response... | 0:20:38 | 0:20:39 | |
TRANSLATION: The government proposes
to hold high-level talks | 0:20:39 | 0:20:42 | |
with North Korea on 9th January
at the Peace House in the truce | 0:20:42 | 0:20:45 | |
village of Panmunjom,
to discuss North Korea's | 0:20:45 | 0:20:48 | |
participation in the
Pyeongchang Winter Olympics, | 0:20:48 | 0:20:52 | |
as the Winter Olympics
are a month away. | 0:20:52 | 0:20:59 | |
Pyongyang hasn't yet
responded to that proposal, | 0:20:59 | 0:21:01 | |
but people are hopeful that it will,
and that the meeting | 0:21:01 | 0:21:05 | |
WILL take place. | 0:21:05 | 0:21:09 | |
We would like to maximise the
opportunity and as soon as possible. | 0:21:09 | 0:21:15 | |
So, when South Korea made this
offer of a high-level | 0:21:15 | 0:21:19 | |
meeting with North Korea,
North Korea...very quickly | 0:21:19 | 0:21:23 | |
and we would like to see
a high-level meeting | 0:21:23 | 0:21:25 | |
happening very soon. | 0:21:25 | 0:21:28 | |
The South Korean president has
said any improvement | 0:21:28 | 0:21:30 | |
in inter-Korean relations must also
help to the North | 0:21:30 | 0:21:32 | |
Korean nuclear issue. | 0:21:32 | 0:21:40 | |
The offer of talks was discussed
with South Korea's key | 0:21:40 | 0:21:43 | |
ally the United States. | 0:21:43 | 0:21:44 | |
But President Trump will be watching
developments very closely. | 0:21:44 | 0:21:46 | |
So, too, will people living
on the Korean peninsula. | 0:21:46 | 0:21:48 | |
Some 25 million North Koreans,
for whom life is really tough | 0:21:48 | 0:21:51 | |
and could get tougher if the latest
round of UN sanctions | 0:21:51 | 0:21:54 | |
really starts to bite. | 0:21:54 | 0:21:57 | |
And the people of South Korea,
nearly 11 million of whom live | 0:21:57 | 0:22:03 | |
here in Seoul, just 35 miles
from the north Korean border. | 0:22:03 | 0:22:07 | |
There's only a month
until the opening ceremony. | 0:22:07 | 0:22:08 | |
But the organisers believe a North
Korean delegation could be there. | 0:22:08 | 0:22:14 | |
We are hopeful, you know,
we always want all of | 0:22:14 | 0:22:17 | |
the countries to participate. | 0:22:17 | 0:22:19 | |
And they do have qualified athletes,
and so for the athletes | 0:22:19 | 0:22:21 | |
it's also important. | 0:22:21 | 0:22:23 | |
They've been training for it
all their lives and we just want | 0:22:23 | 0:22:30 | |
them to enjoy what the Olympics
are all about, the spirit | 0:22:30 | 0:22:32 | |
of friendship, the spirit of peace. | 0:22:32 | 0:22:34 | |
Others, though, are more sceptical,
pointing out that this could be | 0:22:34 | 0:22:39 | |
a tactical move by North Korea
and a month of peace and stability | 0:22:39 | 0:22:43 | |
isn't necessarily a step towards
North Korean denuclearisation. | 0:22:43 | 0:22:53 | |
Teenagers as young as 14 are now
taking steroids in what drugs | 0:22:54 | 0:22:57 | |
workers fear could be
a hidden epidemic. | 0:22:57 | 0:22:58 | |
A BBC undercover investigation has
discovered London-based steroid | 0:22:58 | 0:23:00 | |
dealers are selling the drugs
without giving any warning | 0:23:00 | 0:23:03 | |
of their dangerous side effects. | 0:23:03 | 0:23:04 | |
Colin Campbell reports. | 0:23:04 | 0:23:07 | |
Hey, Derek. | 0:23:07 | 0:23:08 | |
He's an amateur body-builder
who illegally sells steroids | 0:23:08 | 0:23:10 | |
from his living room. | 0:23:10 | 0:23:14 | |
Using his partner to translate,
he says they'll transform my body. | 0:23:14 | 0:23:24 | |
These are the £200 worth
of pills that he said | 0:23:27 | 0:23:30 | |
would make me big and powerful. | 0:23:30 | 0:23:34 | |
This, the handwritten note
I took on a dictated prescription, | 0:23:34 | 0:23:36 | |
if you like, detailing instructions
on how to use the steroids. | 0:23:36 | 0:23:39 | |
We showed our footage
to this drugs expert. | 0:23:39 | 0:23:43 | |
There are many risks
with taking the drugs. | 0:23:43 | 0:23:46 | |
But a simple way of putting it -
kidney, liver, heart. | 0:23:46 | 0:23:51 | |
You can have liver problems, liver
cysts, problem with your kidneys, | 0:23:51 | 0:23:54 | |
and it can lead to heart attacks
and strokes, | 0:23:54 | 0:23:56 | |
so you're playing with your life. | 0:23:56 | 0:23:58 | |
What age are the children that
you're speaking to that | 0:23:58 | 0:24:00 | |
have taken steroids?
As young as 14. | 0:24:00 | 0:24:02 | |
This drugs counsellor fears the true
picture of steroid abuse is much | 0:24:02 | 0:24:05 | |
worse than realisee. | 0:24:05 | 0:24:08 | |
worse than realised. | 0:24:08 | 0:24:09 | |
We could be looking at a hidden
epidemic, to be honest. | 0:24:09 | 0:24:12 | |
It's really, really hard
to gauge how big this is, | 0:24:12 | 0:24:15 | |
but everything anecdotally we're
getting is that it could be huge. | 0:24:15 | 0:24:20 | |
Whilst it's legal to take steroids,
it's against the law | 0:24:20 | 0:24:22 | |
to sell and import them. | 0:24:22 | 0:24:23 | |
But we found scores of websites
offering them online | 0:24:23 | 0:24:26 | |
and sending them by post. | 0:24:26 | 0:24:31 | |
The Border Force is battling to stop
them entering the UK. | 0:24:31 | 0:24:33 | |
These drugs aren't benign,
they're not a soft option. | 0:24:33 | 0:24:37 | |
They can cause real,
profound, long-lasting | 0:24:37 | 0:24:38 | |
harm to people's health. | 0:24:38 | 0:24:41 | |
Selling them can be lucrative,
but it's a trade dealers | 0:24:41 | 0:24:43 | |
don't want exposed. | 0:24:43 | 0:24:46 | |
You are a steroid
dealer, aren't you? No. | 0:24:46 | 0:24:49 | |
How many people are you
supplying steroids to? No. | 0:24:49 | 0:24:53 | |
Speaking through an interpreter,
he claims he'd only ever | 0:24:53 | 0:24:56 | |
supplied me and no one else. | 0:24:56 | 0:24:59 | |
How many other people have
you supplied steroids to? | 0:24:59 | 0:25:01 | |
You advertise widely. | 0:25:01 | 0:25:06 | |
The truth is, they're gambling
with people's health, | 0:25:06 | 0:25:11 | |
cashing in on Britain's
body image obssession. | 0:25:11 | 0:25:13 | |
Colin Campbell, BBC News. | 0:25:13 | 0:25:16 | |
And if you're watching
in the south east of England, | 0:25:16 | 0:25:18 | |
there is more about that
investigation straight | 0:25:18 | 0:25:20 | |
after this programme. | 0:25:20 | 0:25:24 | |
The new world darts champion
Rob Cross says there will never be | 0:25:24 | 0:25:27 | |
another player like Phil Taylor. | 0:25:27 | 0:25:28 | |
Cross beat the 16-time winner 7-2
in last night's final - | 0:25:28 | 0:25:31 | |
which was Taylor's last professional
match. | 0:25:31 | 0:25:32 | |
Rob Cross turned professional only
a year ago, and took home | 0:25:32 | 0:25:35 | |
the World Championship trophy
in his debut appearance | 0:25:35 | 0:25:37 | |
at the event. | 0:25:37 | 0:25:38 | |
Our sports correspondent
Natalie Pirks reports. | 0:25:38 | 0:25:44 | |
How well has your New Year gun? For
Rob Cross, it is fair to say 2018 | 0:25:44 | 0:25:52 | |
has already proved life-changing.
Last night he beat the greatest | 0:25:52 | 0:25:56 | |
darts player of all time to be
crowned world champion and become | 0:25:56 | 0:26:00 | |
£400,000 richer as well, and all of
it is barely sinking in. It feels | 0:26:00 | 0:26:11 | |
very surreal, it is like I need to
pinch myself or something, because I | 0:26:11 | 0:26:15 | |
could not have written it any
better, really. It is like a fairy | 0:26:15 | 0:26:18 | |
tale. You might not associate the
game of darts with fairy tales and | 0:26:18 | 0:26:22 | |
yet Rob Cross was an unknown
electricity until the start of 2017. | 0:26:22 | 0:26:27 | |
Last year his winnings included £7
picked up in a pub tournament. The | 0:26:27 | 0:26:31 | |
rise from anonymity to Acclaim has
been dizzying. One competition we | 0:26:31 | 0:26:38 | |
managed to win £7 each, so a I
nearly got a pint of Ovid Chinappa I | 0:26:38 | 0:26:42 | |
would say that anyone who believes
they can play the game, and sort of | 0:26:42 | 0:26:48 | |
aspire to it and go and have a go,
because you never know what's going | 0:26:48 | 0:26:51 | |
to happen until you actually
dedicate yourself and push yourself | 0:26:51 | 0:26:54 | |
more. Cross was born in 9090, when
Phil Taylor won the first of his 16 | 0:26:54 | 0:27:02 | |
world titles. Nicknamed The Power,
last night was his last ever | 0:27:02 | 0:27:07 | |
professional match. He will go down
as the best the game has ever seen. | 0:27:07 | 0:27:11 | |
We're never going to see another
Phil Taylor, in any sport, I don't | 0:27:11 | 0:27:16 | |
believe, someone who can dominate
their sport for that amount of time. | 0:27:16 | 0:27:20 | |
But at the same time it is probably
the coming of me but we were saying | 0:27:20 | 0:27:24 | |
farewell to a legend. To shout in
his face at the end, I was never | 0:27:24 | 0:27:30 | |
going to do that, I have got too
much respect for him. Cross has now | 0:27:30 | 0:27:35 | |
set his sights on becoming world
number one. When your year starts as | 0:27:35 | 0:27:39 | |
well as this, anything is possible. | 0:27:39 | 0:27:44 | |

Our Scotland correspondent
Lorna Gordon reports. | 0:27:57 | 0:28:02 | |
Between the hills and the sea
in south-west Scotland is a small | 0:28:02 | 0:28:05 | |
town where they like their books
- a lot. | 0:28:05 | 0:28:07 | |
Wigtown is Scotland's national
book town, and among | 0:28:07 | 0:28:09 | |
the many book shops here,
one is available to rent | 0:28:09 | 0:28:11 | |
for a week at a time. | 0:28:11 | 0:28:16 | |
It's run by enthusiasts
who want to be surrounded by books | 0:28:16 | 0:28:19 | |
while trying their hand
at selling some, too. | 0:28:19 | 0:28:21 | |
Right, Helen McDonald... | 0:28:21 | 0:28:25 | |
Alison Drury is a police
community support officer | 0:28:25 | 0:28:29 | |
Alison Drury is a police community
support officer from Bicester - | 0:28:29 | 0:28:32 | |
but not this week. | 0:28:32 | 0:28:38 | |
Instead she is stacking book
shelves and shifting stock. | 0:28:38 | 0:28:40 | |
You are paying for the privilege
of running a book shop for a week - | 0:28:40 | 0:28:43 | |
what do your friends make of it? | 0:28:43 | 0:28:45 | |
A bit of a mixture. | 0:28:45 | 0:28:46 | |
I think some of them think that I'm
a bit eccentric and think that it's | 0:28:46 | 0:28:50 | |
a very strange thing to do. | 0:28:50 | 0:28:51 | |
By the same token, I've got some
friends who think it's extremely | 0:28:51 | 0:28:54 | |
exciting and they're very excited
for me and actually a bit envious. | 0:28:54 | 0:28:57 | |
Have you been enjoying it? | 0:28:57 | 0:28:58 | |
I have.
You can tell, can't you? | 0:28:58 | 0:29:00 | |
The temporary book store
boss has free rein - | 0:29:00 | 0:29:03 | |
displays can change and so too
can the promotions. | 0:29:03 | 0:29:06 | |
The chance to run a book
shop for a week or two | 0:29:06 | 0:29:08 | |
has proved popular. | 0:29:08 | 0:29:12 | |
People have come from as far
away as New Zealand, | 0:29:12 | 0:29:14 | |
North America and South Korea
to run this place. | 0:29:14 | 0:29:16 | |
There was a couple in their 80s
who came on honeymoon, | 0:29:16 | 0:29:19 | |
and others who liked the town
so much that they stayed. | 0:29:19 | 0:29:23 | |
This shop, which once
came close to closure, | 0:29:23 | 0:29:25 | |
turned around by those
who have a dream of running | 0:29:25 | 0:29:28 | |
a book shop and want
the chance to test it out. | 0:29:28 | 0:29:37 | |
I think in everyone's life you have
that "what if" voice, | 0:29:37 | 0:29:40 | |
what if I just owned a book
shop in Scotland? | 0:29:40 | 0:29:42 | |
Why not give people
the opportunity to do it. | 0:29:42 | 0:29:44 | |
This is actual real virtual reality,
where you can actually come | 0:29:44 | 0:29:47 | |
in a book shop and feel the cold
and read the books and enjoy | 0:29:47 | 0:29:50 | |
the community and kind of have
little surprises of an adventure | 0:29:50 | 0:29:53 | |
along the way. | 0:29:53 | 0:29:54 | |
And if those who have come
on their book shop holiday | 0:29:54 | 0:29:58 | |
are looking for ideas,
with Wigtown boasting 14 book shops, | 0:29:58 | 0:30:01 | |
there is plenty here to inspire. | 0:30:01 | 0:30:02 | |
We love our book shops
here, we love our books. | 0:30:02 | 0:30:06 | |
And yeah, and we've even got people
coming from far and wide to run | 0:30:06 | 0:30:09 | |
a book shop in Wigtown. | 0:30:09 | 0:30:13 | |
Imagine that, it sounds a crazy
idea, but what a fantastic thing | 0:30:13 | 0:30:16 | |
for Wigtown, opening Wigtown
onto the world and in | 0:30:16 | 0:30:23 | |
and encouraging people to come
and share our love for books. | 0:30:23 | 0:30:26 | |
That passion for selling
books may be spreading. | 0:30:26 | 0:30:27 | |
There's interest from a Chinese firm
looking to open its own version | 0:30:27 | 0:30:31 | |
of the Open Book holiday business. | 0:30:31 | 0:30:37 | |
So successful has this Scottish one
been, it's booked up | 0:30:37 | 0:30:40 | |
for the next two years. | 0:30:40 | 0:30:41 | |

Time for a look at the weather,

Time for a look at the weather,
with Louise Lear. | 0:30:48 | 0:30:51 | |
It is the 2nd of January and the
talk is all about no alcohol, no | 0:30:51 | 0:30:55 | |
sugar, it is all pretty depressing!
And the weather is not helping the | 0:30:55 | 0:31:00 | |
club blanket of cloud across the
country at the moment, and for the | 0:31:00 | 0:31:04 | |
remainder of this week, it looks as
though it's going to be windy, with | 0:31:04 | 0:31:09 | |
gales at times. This is the story
and this is why it looks so bleak. | 0:31:09 | 0:31:13 | |
There is a lot of cloud and the rain
is sweeping from west to east eddies | 0:31:13 | 0:31:17 | |
and once that clears away it's going
to be replaced by more. But this | 0:31:17 | 0:31:22 | |
time it will be the strength of the
wind. This is Storm Eleanor and on | 0:31:22 | 0:31:28 | |
its southern flank we are likely to
see gusts of up to 80mph through the | 0:31:28 | 0:31:33 | |
night to night. Probably clearing
Northern Ireland around midnight, | 0:31:33 | 0:31:38 | |
heading towards a southern Scotland
and north-west England and north | 0:31:38 | 0:31:40 | |
Wales. 80mph is enough to cause
disruption. The strong bit of the | 0:31:40 | 0:31:50 | |
winds easing to the east of the
Pennines as we go through the | 0:31:50 | 0:31:53 | |
morning. For the far north of
Scotland tomorrow morning, slightly | 0:31:53 | 0:31:55 | |
lighter winds and a colder start, a
little frost around as well. Into | 0:31:55 | 0:32:02 | |
Northern Ireland, southern Scotland,
north-west England, we are still | 0:32:02 | 0:32:06 | |
likely to see gusts of 40mph at
least in the rush-hour tomorrow | 0:32:06 | 0:32:08 | |
morning. Down to the south-west we
could see gusts of up to 60mph with | 0:32:08 | 0:32:16 | |
some really rough seas and high
sided vehicles take note. The winds | 0:32:16 | 0:32:21 | |
will slowly ease as we go through
the day, but it's going to be | 0:32:21 | 0:32:24 | |
blustery. Driving, squally showers,
some of them heavy with some hail | 0:32:24 | 0:32:28 | |
and thunder. Maybe by the end of the
day we might see some sunshine. | 0:32:28 | 0:32:40 | |
Temperatures lower in the far
north-east of Scotland. Riff lama to | 0:32:40 | 0:32:43 | |
start the day on Thursday but
another area of low pressure will | 0:32:43 | 0:32:47 | |
gradually move in. Again, gales are
likely to drive that rain up through | 0:32:47 | 0:32:55 | |
the English Channel and across the
southern half of England. It will | 0:32:55 | 0:32:57 | |
linger for quite some time in
Northern Ireland, central and | 0:32:57 | 0:33:01 | |
southern Scotland. On the leading
edge we could have some snow mixed | 0:33:01 | 0:33:04 | |
in as well. That area of low
pressure will take its time to clear | 0:33:04 | 0:33:07 | |
away but it will slowly do so, and
as we get towards the weekend, there | 0:33:07 | 0:33:12 | |
is the potential that the | 0:33:12 | 0:33:14 |
