0:01:170:01:18

I'm loving it right now -

just the way I'm playing.

I'm 23-years-old and my first

Grand Slam semifinal,

to retire with injury,

ending their Australian open battle.

0:01:390:01:42

Good afternoon and welcome

to the BBC News at One.

0:01:580:02:01

The Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson

has called for millions more

0:02:010:02:04

in funding for the NHS at this

morning's Cabinet meeting.

0:02:040:02:08

It's unusual for a minister

to make his views known in this way,

0:02:080:02:11

-- he was criticised for speaking

out of turn by Philip Hammond and

0:02:180:02:21

rebuked by Theresa May for his

demands. She told him it was better

0:02:210:02:24

to have a conversation about the

future of the NHS and private.

0:02:240:02:29

Here our Political

Correspondent Chris Mason.

0:02:290:02:33

He certainly knows how to grab

headlines. Cabinet meetings are

0:02:330:02:37

meant to be an opportunity for

private discussion. Instead, Boris

0:02:370:02:42

Johnson let his colleagues and

everyone else know in advance that

0:02:420:02:45

he wants an extra £5 billion for the

NHS in England.

Do you welcome the

0:02:450:02:51

Foreign Secretary's intervention?

The Health Secretary kept quiet

0:02:510:02:56

about Mr Johnson trampling on his

turf, but look at this. The

0:02:560:03:00

Chancellor did not exactly look

amused.

0:03:000:03:03

Mr Johnson is the Foreign Secretary.

I gave the Health Secretary and

0:03:030:03:08

extra £6 billion at the recent

Budget and will look at departmental

0:03:080:03:18

allocations again at the spending

review when it takes place, thank

0:03:180:03:20

you.

It is not unknown for Boris Johnson

0:03:200:03:21

to occasionally indulge in some

extracurricular freelancing, piling

0:03:210:03:25

on stuff not exactly in the brief of

a Foreign Secretary. I am told that

0:03:250:03:29

on a recent visit to a hospital with

the Health Secretary he was very

0:03:290:03:32

concerned about what he saw and is

determined to deliver on the idea

0:03:320:03:37

from the EU referendum campaign

about or money for the health

0:03:370:03:40

service after Brexit.

But when headlines like this appear

0:03:400:03:44

in the newspaper before a Cabinet

meeting, his critics will say he is

0:03:440:03:50

grandstanding. And there is no doubt

it is unconventional.

0:03:500:03:53

I'm afraid this is all about Boris

Johnson.

0:03:530:04:00

He is not really concerned about

patients waiting on trolleys in

0:04:100:04:12

corridors and those elderly people

in the backs of ambulances in the

0:04:120:04:15

freezing cold, waiting to be

treated. It is just his tedious

0:04:150:04:17

political games. If the Government

was serious about putting the money

0:04:170:04:19

into the NHS, they would have done

it in the Budget last autumn.

0:04:190:04:22

Others say the intervention is good

news but there needs to be a focus

0:04:220:04:24

on the bigger picture.

Having more allies in Cabinet,

0:04:240:04:26

calling for more funding for the NHS

and social care, is very welcome, as

0:04:260:04:29

far as I am concerned. But we need

not to just look at the here and now

0:04:290:04:33

but the long-term, and not just the

NHS but the whole picture are the

0:04:330:04:37

NHS, social care and prevention.

As the huge challenges the NHS faces

0:04:370:04:45

this winter continue, so too to the

huge political questions about what

0:04:450:04:48

to do about it.

Boris Johnson has kept that

0:04:480:04:52

discussion centre stage, even if the

Prime Minister would have preferred

0:04:520:04:55

him to make his views known

privately.

0:04:550:04:58

Chris Mason, BBC News, at

Westminster.

0:04:580:05:00

Our assistant political editor

Norman Smith is in Downing Street.

0:05:000:05:05

Norman, what do you think Boris

Johnson is up to?

0:05:050:05:10

It is striking, Boris Johnson,

normally a very bloody and

0:05:100:05:13

character, when he left Cabinet this

morning I thought he looked a bit

0:05:130:05:18

sheepish, a bit chastened, a bit

tail between his legs. -- Boris

0:05:180:05:23

Johnson, normally a very ebullient

character. He had been ticked off by

0:05:230:05:27

the Prime Minister and other

ministers for allowing his views to

0:05:270:05:30

be briefed out ahead of Cabinet, a

complete breach of normal Government

0:05:300:05:35

rules. Why did he do it? I am

tilting visited his local hospital

0:05:350:05:41

in Uxbridge and was pretty concerned

about what he saw in terms of

0:05:410:05:44

pressure on staff and the state of

morale, he felt he had to make the

0:05:440:05:48

case for more cash. But more than

matter, it goes back to the highly

0:05:480:05:52

contentious

0:05:520:05:58

contentious claim made during the

Brexit referendum, you remember the

0:05:580:06:00

side of the bus, £350 million more a

week for the NHS. Mr Johnson wants

0:06:000:06:03

that to become Government policy.

His critics believe he seeks to

0:06:030:06:06

fireproof himself over that claim,

to seek justification, vindication

0:06:060:06:11

by making sure Mrs May binds herself

into it.

0:06:110:06:16

On top of that, his timing could

hardly be worse for the Prime

0:06:160:06:21

Minister.

0:06:210:06:26

Minister. He is already Boris

Johnson is supporting that argument

0:06:260:06:37

by suggesting what is needed is I

don't love they have a dart for --

0:06:370:06:48

Our health editor Hugh Pym is here.

0:06:480:06:53

that is the politics that there is a

question about the NHS resources.

0:06:530:06:59

And increasing debate with A&E units

being so full, very overstretched

0:06:590:07:05

staff, difficulties finding beds.

All those images have really

0:07:050:07:10

sharpened this debate. What people

in the NHS are saying it is no good

0:07:100:07:14

politicians bandying around billions

of pounds more and debates going on

0:07:140:07:18

around that without some proper

analysis. What they want to see is a

0:07:180:07:23

projection over ten years after man

in the health service. How much the

0:07:230:07:27

population will grow, what the

ageing population will need, what

0:07:270:07:32

more can be done about prevention,

and then look at what is needed to

0:07:320:07:36

pay for it. And a proper debate

rather than the cross-party fight

0:07:360:07:40

the whole time.

There is a growing demand the

0:07:400:07:45

consensus among politicians, 90 MPs

signed a letter to Theresa May at

0:07:450:07:49

the end of last year from all three

main parties at Westminster calling

0:07:490:07:53

for just that sort of approach. An

end to partisan politics on the

0:07:530:07:58

health service. She replied at the

end of last week saying the

0:07:580:08:01

Government has got this under

control and is planning for the

0:08:010:08:05

future and rather brush them off. I

think that will get harder and

0:08:050:08:08

harder for Theresa May given this

groundswell and given demands for

0:08:080:08:12

some sort of serious debate about

health and social care long-term.

0:08:120:08:16

The Government has a social care

paper coming out in the summer which

0:08:160:08:19

is being run by Jeremy Hunt with his

new Department of Health and social

0:08:190:08:24

care as it is branded. There is a

lot of very important debate taking

0:08:240:08:28

place but it does not deal with the

short-term needs of the NHS, which

0:08:280:08:32

are still under extreme pressure

thank you.

0:08:320:08:37

The prosecution in the trial of

a man accused of the Finsbury Park

0:08:370:08:40

mosque attack has alleged

that he received a message

0:08:400:08:42

on Twitter from a leader

of the far-right group Britain

0:08:420:08:44

First.

0:08:440:08:45

Darren Osborne is accused

of deliberately driving a van

0:08:450:08:47

into worshippers last June,

killing one person.

0:08:470:08:49

He denies murder

and attempted murder.

0:08:490:08:51

Daniel Sandford is at

Woolwich Crown Court.

0:08:510:08:57

Daniel, tell us more about what was

said in court?

0:08:570:09:02

Much of this morning was taken up

looking at what Darren Osborne had

0:09:020:09:05

been doing on the Internet in the

two weeks before the attack. He

0:09:050:09:10

appears to have joined Twitter about

two weeks before the attack, some

0:09:100:09:13

evidence suggests that. On that date

he receives a direct message from

0:09:130:09:18

Jade Fransson, the deputy leader of

Britain First. Over the next few

0:09:180:09:22

days he does several searches, both

for Jada Fransson and the leader of

0:09:220:09:35

Britain First. You'll to receive

direct messages from Tommy Robinson,

0:09:350:09:38

the leader of the ADL, and at the

far right group. On the day before

0:09:380:09:42

he travelled to London to allegedly

carry out the attack, it seems on an

0:09:420:09:48

iPad belonging to his eldest

daughter that he reads two tweets

0:09:480:09:51

from Tommy Robinson, one saying when

the Muslims bond our kids we were

0:09:510:09:55

told not to look back in anger, and

where was the day of rage after the

0:09:550:10:02

terrorist attacks? All I saw was

lighting candles. The jury heard

0:10:020:10:08

from a man in the pub with Darren

Osborne on the night before he was

0:10:080:10:13

accused of carrying out these

attacks. A soldier called Callum

0:10:130:10:16

Spence. He says Darren Osborne was

talking aggressively and loudly

0:10:160:10:24

about Muslims, saying they will turn

us all into Muslims, turn us all

0:10:240:10:28

into terrorists. In the end, Callum

Spence had decided he would help the

0:10:280:10:34

manager of the pub to a sport -- to

score Darren Osborne from the pub,

0:10:340:10:37

at what point Darren Osborne said, I

will take things into my own hands.

0:10:370:10:43

The trial is expected to last

another two weeks or so.

Thank you,

0:10:430:10:47

Daniel Sandford.

0:10:470:10:49

A powerful earthquake in the Gulf

of Alaska this morning -

0:10:490:10:51

which hit 175 miles southeast

of the town of Kodiak -

0:10:510:10:54

prompted warnings of a possible

tsunami down the west coast

0:10:540:10:56

of Canada and the United States.

0:10:560:10:58

Richard Galpin has the latest.

0:10:580:11:06

It is the dead of night on the

island of Kodiak, just off mainland

0:11:060:11:11

Alaska. The wailing sirens are

waking people, to warn them that a

0:11:110:11:16

tsunami could soon hit the area.

Hello, Kodiak, Sergeant Bieber, I

0:11:160:11:23

want to remind everybody that is not

a drill, this is an actual tsunami

0:11:230:11:28

warning. At least 100 feet above

sea-level, the high school parking

0:11:280:11:33

lot. Element in a safe but it is

very backed up now so you will not

0:11:330:11:37

make about in five minutes.

The island of Kodiak, home to almost

0:11:370:11:43

14,000 people, lies off the southern

coast of Alaska and is the closest

0:11:430:11:48

appointed to the epicentre of the

earthquake.

0:11:480:11:52

-- the closest pointed to. It is not

long before roads are clogged with

0:11:520:11:56

cars heading away from the coast in

search of the safety of higher

0:11:560:12:00

ground.

Many have been taking shelter in

0:12:000:12:03

this school.

People are very calm here. Kodiak

0:12:030:12:07

residents argues to earthquakes, not

of this magnitude. Roughly around

0:12:070:12:12

600 people are here at the high

school. The emergency sirens are

0:12:120:12:16

still going off but we have not had

any reports so far of anything

0:12:160:12:20

happening.

In the last I with a tsunami warning

0:12:200:12:23

has

0:12:230:12:27

has been listed in most areas,

although people closest to the

0:12:280:12:30

epicentre are still being advised to

keep away from the coast.

0:12:300:12:32

0:12:320:12:38

Foxplanned takeover of Sky is not in

the public interest, according to

0:12:410:12:45

the competition watchdog, which says

allowing the company to go ahead

0:12:450:12:48

with the deal would give the Murdoch

family too much influence over the

0:12:480:12:52

public agenda. Fox has been trying

to buy the 61% of Sky it does not

0:12:520:12:58

currently own. Our media editor

joins us. What does this mean?

The

0:12:580:13:03

future of Sky is unclear, the

company will not exist, but who owns

0:13:030:13:08

it will remain unclear. -- the

company will exist. Rupert Murdoch,

0:13:080:13:12

he bid for the 61% six or seven

years ago and it was scuppered by

0:13:120:13:18

the phone hacking scandal. Now it

has been stuck in regulatory

0:13:180:13:21

framework. Ofcom first said they

were concerned about media

0:13:210:13:27

plurality. The Competition and

Markets Authority has come to this

0:13:270:13:30

conclusion, the Murdochs are fit and

proper to be broadcasters but giving

0:13:300:13:34

them full control of Sky and Sky

News, specifically, would give them

0:13:340:13:38

too much influence over public

debate.

0:13:380:13:41

It is, frankly, weird. This is a UK

regulatory process but it could be

0:13:410:13:46

overtaken by an American process

because at the end of last year

0:13:460:13:50

Rupert Murdoch decided he would exit

UK media and salad to Disney. This

0:13:500:13:55

is a bureaucratic step in a British

regulatory process. The biggest

0:13:550:13:59

question is whether Disney will buy

Rupert Murdoch's business from him

0:13:590:14:03

and, if they do, many of the

concerns about media plurality will

0:14:030:14:07

fall away.

Thank you.

0:14:070:14:09

Doctors say the health and wellbeing

of children in England is lagging

0:14:090:14:12

behind that in Scotland and Wales.

0:14:120:14:13

The Royal College of Paediatrics

and Child Health says the government

0:14:130:14:16

has failed to improve care

in a number of "fundamental

0:14:160:14:18

areas", such as by banning

junk food advertising.

0:14:180:14:21

The government insists it has

"world-leading plans"

0:14:210:14:22

in place for child health.

0:14:220:14:24

Here's our health

correspondent Dominic Hughes.

0:14:240:14:31

Being healthy when you are young

makes a big difference

0:14:310:14:34

to your chances of good health

in later life.

0:14:340:14:39

At an after-school gym

session in Manchester

0:14:390:14:41

are sisters Grace and Mia.

0:14:410:14:43

Both of them enjoy the rewards

a work-out gives them.

0:14:430:14:45

Fitter, confident.

Just happier with yourself, yeah.

0:14:450:14:51

Personally, I just feel good

about myself, think I've done well,

0:14:510:14:54

and achieve better stuff.

0:14:540:14:57

Young people exercising in gyms

like this are exactly what health

0:14:570:14:59

experts would like to see more of.

0:14:590:15:01

Their concern is that there is not

enough support from Government

0:15:010:15:04

to allow children and their families

to establish healthy habits that

0:15:040:15:06

will see them through life.

0:15:060:15:11

Last year a report showed that,

when it comes to the health

0:15:110:15:14

of our children, the UK was lagging

behind other European nations.

0:15:140:15:17

So one year on, has

the situation improved?

0:15:170:15:21

In Scotland, there is praise

for a new mental health

0:15:210:15:23

strategy and better support

for mothers who breast-feed.

0:15:230:15:25

Likewise in Wales, where

a smoking ban in playgrounds

0:15:250:15:27

has been introduced.

0:15:270:15:31

But the report says cuts to public

health budgets in England

0:15:310:15:34

are hitting children's services hard

and the issue doesn't get the same

0:15:340:15:37

political attention.

0:15:370:15:41

We would really love to see Cabinet

level responsibility for child

0:15:410:15:44

health in all policies.

0:15:440:15:45

Without that, I think we are doomed

to short termism and the inevitable

0:15:450:15:48

downstream consequences

for the country and the country's

0:15:480:15:50

health and economic well-being.

0:15:500:15:58

The Department of Health in England

says it has world-leading plans

0:15:590:16:01

in place to combat obesity

and improve mental health,

0:16:010:16:03

and the sugar tax is funding

breakfast clubs and sports.

0:16:030:16:10

This one is a full body machine,

so it works your arms

0:16:100:16:13

and legs together.

0:16:130:16:14

But this report warns that

if our children and young people

0:16:140:16:17

don't get a good healthy start

in life, they are more likely

0:16:170:16:20

to struggle as adults.

Our top story this

lunchtime:

0:16:320:16:34

The Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson

is pushing for millions of pounds

0:16:340:16:36

more a week for the NHS in England,

but he's criticised for speaking out

0:16:360:16:40

of turn by the Chancellor.

0:16:400:16:41

And coming up -

something to crow about -

0:16:410:16:43

how one species of the bird have

developed hooks to help them hunt.

0:16:430:16:46

And coming up in sport,

as Alexis Sanchez settles

0:16:470:16:50

into his new surroundings

at Old Trafford, his former manager

0:16:500:16:52

Arsene Wenger admits

it was the right move.

0:16:520:17:00

It's that time of year again,

the annual gathering at a glamorous

0:17:080:17:11

Swiss resort of some of the biggest

names in business and politics -

0:17:110:17:14

it's the World Economic

Forum at Davos.

0:17:140:17:19

The Indian Prime Minister Narendra

Modi opened this year's event

0:17:190:17:21

and President Trump is expected

to speak later this week.

0:17:210:17:23

Our Economics Editor

Kamal Ahmed is in Davos.

0:17:230:17:28

You have been speaking to another

leader, the Norwegian Prime Minister

0:17:280:17:32

and heard her thoughts on Brexit?

Yes. So Norway not actually a member

0:17:320:17:37

of the European Union, but a member

of what is called the European

0:17:370:17:42

Economic Area and as such, will have

some influence over the Brexit

0:17:420:17:46

negotiations. A big message from the

Prime Minister of Norway who is here

0:17:460:17:52

today. She said that Britain should

push for the softest Brexit with the

0:17:520:17:57

European Union. The closest type of

trade relationship once we've left

0:17:570:18:02

the European Union. Saying that it

was important because the two, the

0:18:020:18:06

country and the rest of the European

Union were so intertwined

0:18:060:18:11

economically. I spoke to her a few

minutes ago.

0:18:110:18:15

We hope that there will be

a an agreement that we would call

0:18:150:18:23

a soft Brexit, an agreement that

will not put large barriers for the

0:18:230:18:26

trade inside Europe again.

0:18:260:18:27

We hope we will find a good solution

and we are both working well

0:18:270:18:30

with the British and the EU on that.

0:18:300:18:32

The EU are understanding

that we are integrated

0:18:320:18:34

in the single market.

0:18:340:18:36

There are three countries outside

the EU who are following

0:18:360:18:38

the internal regulations

on the single market and Norway,

0:18:380:18:40

of course, has a very large trade

and activity towards Britain.

0:18:400:18:47

So, the Norwegian Prime Minister

preceding what will be a huge day

0:18:480:18:51

for Europe tomorrow at the World

Economic Forum. Listen this list, we

0:18:510:18:57

have the leader of Germany, France,

Italy, Poland and Greece all here

0:18:570:19:02

tomorrow to talk about the values of

Europe up against America, and

0:19:020:19:07

China. Tomorrow is Europe Day at the

World Economic Forum. The Norwegian

0:19:070:19:13

Prime Minister giving just a

suggestion of how the leaders might

0:19:130:19:16

approach Brexit in the best way.

Kamal, thank you.

0:19:160:19:22

A court has heard a 20-year-old man

who allegedly planned to attack

0:19:220:19:25

a pub in Cumbria which was holding

a Gay Pride night, was stopped

0:19:250:19:29

after police were alerted

to his plans on social media.

0:19:290:19:32

Ethan Stables, from

Barrow-in-Furness denies

0:19:320:19:33

preparing an act of terrorism

and threats to kill.

0:19:330:19:35

Dominic Casciani is

at Leeds Crown Court.

0:19:350:19:41

And Dominic, bring us up-to-date

with what happened in court today.

0:19:410:19:45

Yes, it is not often we have a case

of two alleged far-right terrorism

0:19:450:19:51

linked cases at opposite ends of the

country, but that's what happened

0:19:510:19:54

today with another case opening here

at Leeds Crown Court. Ethan Stables

0:19:540:19:58

is accused last June of effectively

putting into place a plan that he

0:19:580:20:05

had been allegedly developing over

many months to attack a minority

0:20:050:20:08

community. In this case, a gay

support group who were holding a

0:20:080:20:13

Pride Night at a pub in Bar owe and

it is alleged as part of the plans

0:20:130:20:18

he went online to other members of

like minded people in a Nazi themed

0:20:180:20:24

group, talked about his intentions

which the prosecutor said amounted

0:20:240:20:30

to murderous intent and then went

about effectively carrying out

0:20:300:20:36

reconnaissance of this pub before

planning to allegedly planning to

0:20:360:20:42

attack. The plan was stopped because

a woman spotted has comments on

0:20:420:20:48

Facebook and alerted the local

police and they alerted Cumbria

0:20:480:20:52

Police who sent an armed unit to

apprehend Mr Stables. He denies the

0:20:520:20:58

charge of preparation act of

terrorism and the trial is expected

0:20:580:21:01

to last two weeks.

Dominic, thank you.

0:21:010:21:10

The mayor of the West Midlands says

the region is failing

0:21:110:21:14

to reflect its diverse population

because there aren't enough people

0:21:140:21:16

from ethnic minorities

in positions of leadership.

0:21:160:21:18

Andy Street says more

needs to be done to make

0:21:180:21:20

workforces more diverse,

to allow economic benefits

0:21:200:21:22

across all communities.

0:21:220:21:23

Currently more than 90%

of the region's leaders are white.

0:21:230:21:26

Here's our Midlands

Correspondent Sima Kotecha.

0:21:260:21:29

People living in Birmingham say part

of its charm is its diversity.

0:21:290:21:31

The city is made up

of multiple ethnic groups.

0:21:310:21:34

More than a third of people

living here are non-white.

0:21:340:21:36

But now its mayor says Birmingham

and its region need to do better

0:21:360:21:39

at reflecting its population

in top positions.

0:21:390:21:45

We've got to have a regional

leadership that actually

0:21:450:21:50

includes people from those

communities as well.

0:21:500:21:51

It's got to be better in terms

of gender diversity,

0:21:510:21:54

it's got to be better in terms

of ethnic diversity.

0:21:540:21:56

And if you look across councils,

businesses, universities,

0:21:560:21:58

you just don't see that.

0:21:580:22:00

So people don't necessarily feel

as though their futures have got

0:22:000:22:03

role models in the community there.

0:22:030:22:08

So he is now launched a leadership

group which will look

0:22:080:22:10

into what more can be done.

0:22:100:22:12

The West Midlands is cosmopolitan

and it has one of the largest BAME

0:22:120:22:15

populations in England and Wales.

0:22:150:22:18

Data shows that out of around

200,000 senior managers,

0:22:180:22:20

directors and officials

in the region, more

0:22:200:22:24

than 90% of them are white.

0:22:240:22:30

Handsworth is the centre

of Birmingham's African

0:22:300:22:31

Caribbean community.

0:22:310:22:34

Some here believe a lack

of acceptance could be preventing

0:22:340:22:37

them from moving forward.

0:22:370:22:40

You're not going to talk to someone

that isn't really responsive

0:22:400:22:42

to you or who doesn't really

understand your background,

0:22:420:22:44

understand where you're from.

0:22:440:22:46

It shouldn't really be a thing

where it about us and them,

0:22:460:22:48

it should obviously be a thing

about "as one," but unfortunately

0:22:480:22:51

that's just how it is, I guess.

0:22:510:22:54

The mayor's critics say they want

action, not just words.

0:22:540:22:56

Some of those who work

with him say leaders need

0:22:560:22:59

to change their approach, too.

0:22:590:23:04

We've seen Andy Street as mayor,

when he gets invited to go

0:23:040:23:07

along to speak at panels,

and so many people wanting to come

0:23:070:23:10

and speak, he should be saying,

"Well, who else is on this panel?

0:23:100:23:13

Who else is there that represents

Birmingham, not just me?"

0:23:130:23:15

The Government says there's

still lots to be done in boardrooms

0:23:150:23:18

to reflect multicultural Britain.

0:23:180:23:20

The mayor of this region argues he's

taking big steps to enforce change.

0:23:200:23:23

Britain's Kyle Edmund has pulled

off a spectacular upset

0:23:350:23:37

to reach his first Grand Slam

semi-final at the Australian Open.

0:23:370:23:40

The world number 49 beat the third

seed Grigor Dimitrov in four sets

0:23:400:23:43

in his first quarter finals

at a major tournament.

0:23:430:23:45

The 23-year-old becomes only

the sixth British man to reach

0:23:450:23:48

the last four at a Grand Slam

in the Open era.

0:23:480:23:50

Our sports correspondent

Joe Wilson reports.

0:23:500:23:58

This is potential realised. This is

hope made reality.

A big first serve

0:24:010:24:05

delivers...

This is Kyle Edmund in

Melbourne. His opponent Grigor

0:24:050:24:10

Dimitrov has been the next big thing

for years in tennis and he came back

0:24:100:24:15

to win...

0:24:150:24:23

to win... I'm so sorry, we've

clearly got a problem there.

0:24:230:24:29

Technology and the natural world

don't immediately go hand in hand,

0:24:290:24:32

but researchers have made

a fascinating discovery

0:24:320:24:33

about the New Caledonian crow.

0:24:330:24:34

It engineers hooks out

of twigs in order to help it

0:24:340:24:37

prise grubs out of trees.

0:24:370:24:38

Our Science Correspondent

Victoria Gill explains why

0:24:380:24:40

the finding is so significant.

0:24:400:24:42

A very crafty crow.

0:24:420:24:44

These birds are carefully

manufacturing hooks out of sticks,

0:24:440:24:46

that they will use to snag spiders

and grubs that are

0:24:460:24:49

hiding in tree holes.

0:24:490:24:50

They use their bills

like a precision instrument.

0:24:500:24:52

They will take away small

fibres of wood to get this

0:24:520:24:54

really pointed and sharp,

so they can snag their prey with it.

0:24:540:25:01

In tests carried out in these

purpose-built aviaries,

0:25:010:25:03

when the crows made and used

their specialised hooks,

0:25:030:25:06

they captured their food 10 times

faster than when using

0:25:060:25:08

a simple twig.

0:25:080:25:11

This, the scientists say,

means the crows have revealed

0:25:110:25:13

a glimpse of why a new technology

is invented and developed.

0:25:130:25:19

Since researchers first

observed our closest primate

0:25:190:25:21

cousins, the chimpanzees,

using sticks as tools,

0:25:210:25:23

many creatures have joined the ranks

of tool-using animals.

0:25:230:25:28

These sea otters use rocks

as hammers to crack open shellfish,

0:25:280:25:31

and these elephants in Sri Lanka

are using branches

0:25:310:25:34

to swat away flies.

0:25:340:25:35

But only humans and New Caledonian

crows have independently

0:25:350:25:39

engineered the simple

but hugely important hook.

0:25:390:25:45

The very earliest human-made

fishing hooks were made

0:25:450:25:47

just 23,000 years ago.

0:25:470:25:48

And, crucially, these

were a big technological

0:25:480:25:54

breakthrough for each species,

a way of foraging for food much more

0:25:540:25:56

efficiently to increase

their chances of survival.

0:25:560:26:00

Technology that could be passed

from generation to generation.

0:26:000:26:04

It's fascinating to have these birds

that make tools which are believed

0:26:040:26:11

to have been a very major innovation

in humans' technological evolution.

0:26:110:26:14

When you look at how our ancestors

refined their technology,

0:26:140:26:17

the invention of the hook

was a key event.

0:26:170:26:21

There are signs that

some of the wild birds

0:26:210:26:24

are fine-tuning their hook designs,

so it seems these remarkable crows

0:26:240:26:26

could be on their very

own technological journey.

0:26:260:26:30

Victoria Gill, BBC News, St Andrews.

0:26:300:26:36

We can return to the spectacular

news that Britain's Kyle Edmund has

0:26:410:26:45

reached his first Grand Slam

semifinal. Joe Wilson reports. This

0:26:450:26:49

is potential realised. This is hope

made reality.

A big first serve

0:26:490:26:54

delivers...

This is Kyle Edmund in

Melbourne.

0:26:540:27:00

His opponent Grigor Dimitrov has

been the next big thing for years in

0:27:000:27:03

tennis and he came back to win the

second set in their quarterfinal.

He

0:27:030:27:07

closes it out at the first time of

asking.

Kyle Edmund won the third

0:27:070:27:10

and found himself on the brink. Now

everyone knows he has the power, but

0:27:100:27:15

the most important muscle is between

the ears, the very best players must

0:27:150:27:20

stay calm when it gets close and

this was close!

He has done it.

0:27:200:27:25

Well, hang on, wait and see. Match

point was decided by a Hawk-Eye

0:27:250:27:30

replay. As Andy Murray was to say on

Twitter, wow.

I know what it feels

0:27:300:27:36

like to be Andy Murray for the last

eight years or however long.

0:27:360:27:40

LAUGHTER

When you are on these type of stages

0:27:400:27:44

reaching the last stage of the best

tournament of the world, it is very

0:27:440:27:47

pleasing, but of course, I want to

keep going.

Kyle Edmund may have

0:27:470:27:51

peaked on the other side of the

world, but he was made right here in

0:27:510:27:56

Yorkshire. As an eight-year-old you

may have spotted him on one of these

0:27:560:28:00

courts. And it is here in Beverley

where you will find a man who was

0:28:000:28:06

hitting against Kyle Edmund as a

boy.

He has always had the ability.

0:28:060:28:10

I mean last year, he always seemed

to come off second-best in tight

0:28:100:28:16

matches which is down to the mental

side. The biggest thing I have been

0:28:160:28:20

impressed is the mental side and how

he has applied himself on court.

0:28:200:28:24

Will the success change him?

No, he

is very grounded and very

0:28:240:28:28

level-headed. He is a shy character.

Kyle Edmund may well have imagined

0:28:280:28:32

he would be playing Rafa Nadal in

the semifinal in Melbourne, in fact

0:28:320:28:37

it would be marreden Cilic. The boy

from Beverley Hills is east Riding

0:28:370:28:45

is a softly spoken global star.

The list of nominees

for this year's Oscars

0:28:510:28:53

is being announced this lunchtime.

0:28:530:28:55

Winners in each of the 24 categories

will be revealed at the 90th

0:28:550:28:58

Academy Awards ceremony in March.

0:28:580:28:59

After a year in which Hollywood has

been rocked by sexual harassment

0:28:590:29:02

scandals and controversy over

the gender pay gap,

0:29:020:29:05

the nominations will be scrutinised

more closely than ever.

0:29:050:29:07

Our entertainment correspondent

Lizo Mzimba is here.

0:29:070:29:10

We've had some of the announcements

already. The big ones are still to

0:29:100:29:13

come. Tell us what we know?

Well, we

have had the craft behind the scenes

0:29:130:29:18

announcements. Oscar history has

been made. A woman called Rachel

0:29:180:29:24

Morrison, the Director of

Photography on a film called Mud

0:29:240:29:29

Bound has been tomorrownated for

best cinematography. History being

0:29:290:29:32

made there. The main nominations

will come out in a few minutes time.

0:29:320:29:37

We're expecting to see leading the

way a film called The Shape Of Water

0:29:370:29:43

a mysterious science fiction fantasy

adventure where Sally Hawkins plays

0:29:430:29:47

a mute woman that falls in love with

a mysterious water creature. We are

0:29:470:29:52

expecting to see that leading the

way. We are expecting to see Sally

0:29:520:29:57

Hawkins getting a Best Actress

nomination. A strong showing

0:29:570:30:01

expected for the film Three

Billboards. Again we are expecting

0:30:010:30:07

to see that up for Best Film, Best

Director and Best Actress. She is

0:30:070:30:15

the favourite providing she is

nominated. One of the favourites we

0:30:150:30:19

are hoping to see on the list is

Gary Oldman. We will find out if he

0:30:190:30:25

is on the list. If he is, he is the

runaway favourite to take the award,

0:30:250:30:30

but exit siting times and a big time

for Hollywood. The Academy is

0:30:300:30:35

changing fast, the voters that do

it, but we'll find out what that

0:30:350:30:41

means later on.

0:30:410:30:43

And you can watch the rest

of the nominations as they're

0:30:430:30:46

announced right now on the BBC

News Channel and there is full

0:30:460:30:49

coverage online at bbc.co.uk/oscars

0:30:490:30:54

Neil Diamond is to retire

from performing after being

0:30:540:30:56

diagnosed with Parkinson's disease.

The singer, who turns 77

tomorrow, said he'd made

0:31:140:31:16

the decision "with great

reluctance and disappointment".

0:31:160:31:18

In a statement, he apologised

to fans who'd already bought tickets

0:31:180:31:21

for his 50th anniversary tour

in Australia and New Zealand.

0:31:210:31:23

He says he'll continue

writing and recording.

0:31:230:31:31

Time for a look at the weather.

Here's Alina Jenkins.

0:31:330:31:35

Here's Alina Jenkins.

0:31:350:31:36

Whilst it maybe milder today, it is

a topsy-turvy sort of afternoon. We

0:31:360:31:40

have got a number of showers and

heavy spells of rain and gusty winds

0:31:400:31:44

and in the short-term it looks like

the concentration of the rain will

0:31:440:31:47

be across northern parts of England

and central and southern parts of

0:31:470:31:49

Scotland. We can see holes in the

cloud. It is a different sort of

0:31:490:31:55

picture in Denbigh. Spells of

sunshine and this is how the

0:31:550:31:59

afternoon pans out. Yes, there will

be further showers around and gusty

0:31:590:32:04

winds. More in a minute. More

northern parts of Scotland, eight or

0:32:040:32:08

nine Celsius, otherwise widely in

double figures. Certainly feeling

0:32:080:32:13

milder than recently. Through this

evening, some of the showers will

0:32:130:32:16

fade. Drier slots for a while. Later

in the night the cloud starts to

0:32:160:32:20

gather. There will be gales. If not

severe gales. A blustery, windy end

0:32:200:32:25

to the night, but again, mild. Lows

between four and 11 Celsius, but it

0:32:250:32:30

is this area of low pressure which

we're keeping an eye on. A deep area

0:32:300:32:36

of low pressure. I'm sure you notice

the squeeze in the isobars, that

0:32:360:32:40

means it will be windy. Some cause

for concern during the rush hour

0:32:400:32:45

tomorrow, gales and heavy rain,

combined with snow melt means a lot

0:32:450:32:49

of surface water on the roads. There

could be disruption to travel.

0:32:490:32:51

Tomorrow morning a band of rain

Swindoninging south-east wards.

0:32:510:32:55

Again the strong winds and I want to

have a look at the gusts at around

0:32:550:32:59

8am. So we will have wet weather

across Northern Scotland. Gusty

0:32:590:33:05

winds for the Hebrides, stretching

down through the Irish Sea coasts.

0:33:050:33:08

The earlier band of rain will

probably have cleared from Northern

0:33:080:33:11

Ireland and northern England and

showers following on behind and

0:33:110:33:14

gusty winds, but wet weather

extending from north-east England

0:33:140:33:17

down through the Midlands and into

south-west England as well and still

0:33:170:33:20

very gusty winds here. So it could

be a tricky rush hour. The rain does

0:33:200:33:25

start to clear away quickly and the

winds start to ease down through the

0:33:250:33:29

day. It is an unsettled day. Behind

it, there will be spells of sunshine

0:33:290:33:35

and showers perhaps wintry in nature

for the Scottish mountains. A windy

0:33:350:33:38

day. As the rain starts to clear it

will feel a little bit cooler again

0:33:380:33:42

with temperatures between five and

ten Celsius. And a chilly night as

0:33:420:33:47

we go into Thursday, but then we

will have a day of sunshine and

0:33:470:33:50

showers. Again, it is going to be

quite windy, but starting to feel

0:33:500:33:54

colder.
