President Trump says he's
prepared to apologise | 0:00:06 | 0:00:09 | |
for retweeting inflammatory videos
from a British far-right group. | 0:00:09 | 0:00:15 | |
In an interview in advance of his
address to the World Economic Forum | 0:00:15 | 0:00:19 | |
in Davos, he says he knew nothing
about Britain First. | 0:00:19 | 0:00:23 | |
If you're telling me
they were horrible people, | 0:00:23 | 0:00:25 | |
horrible racist people,
I would certainly apologise | 0:00:25 | 0:00:27 | |
if you'd like me to do that. | 0:00:27 | 0:00:29 | |
I know nothing about them. | 0:00:29 | 0:00:35 | |
We'll have the very
latest from Davos, | 0:00:35 | 0:00:41 | |
where the President is just
about to begin his speech. | 0:00:41 | 0:00:43 | |
Also this lunchtime... | 0:00:43 | 0:00:44 | |
The UK economy grew faster
than expected in the last | 0:00:44 | 0:00:47 | |
three months of 2017,
thanks to an increase | 0:00:47 | 0:00:49 | |
in the services sector. | 0:00:49 | 0:00:53 | |
A pay cut for some of the BBC's top
male news presenters | 0:00:53 | 0:00:56 | |
following revelations
about unequal pay. | 0:00:56 | 0:00:59 | |
One of them says that it is the
right thing to do. | 0:00:59 | 0:01:04 | |
I think it all needs to be sorted
out and I support my female | 0:01:04 | 0:01:08 | |
colleagues who've rightly said
that they should be paid the same | 0:01:08 | 0:01:10 | |
when they are doing the same job. | 0:01:10 | 0:01:12 | |
It's just a no-brainer. | 0:01:12 | 0:01:13 | |
So, it wasn't a problem for me. | 0:01:13 | 0:01:15 | |
Downing Street says
the Prime Minister has full | 0:01:15 | 0:01:17 | |
confidence in her Chancellor -
after Philip Hammond said there may | 0:01:17 | 0:01:20 | |
be only a modest change to the trade
relationship between Britain | 0:01:20 | 0:01:23 | |
and the EU after Brexit. | 0:01:23 | 0:01:25 | |
And the British Paralympic champion,
Sophie Hahn, responds for the first | 0:01:25 | 0:01:32 | |
time to claims that she gained
unfair advantage in competition | 0:01:32 | 0:01:34 | |
because of her classification. | 0:01:34 | 0:01:37 | |
And in the sport on BBC News,
Roger Federer has reached | 0:01:37 | 0:01:39 | |
the Australian Open final
after his opponent, | 0:01:39 | 0:01:41 | |
21-year-old Hyeon Chung,
retired due to blistering | 0:01:41 | 0:01:43 | |
on his feet. | 0:01:43 | 0:01:46 | |
Good afternoon and welcome
to the BBC News at One. | 0:02:06 | 0:02:08 | |
President Trump, who is about
to address delegates | 0:02:08 | 0:02:11 | |
at the World Economic Forum
in Davos, has said he's prepared | 0:02:11 | 0:02:14 | |
to apologise for retweeting
inflammatory posts by the far-right | 0:02:14 | 0:02:16 | |
group Britain First. | 0:02:16 | 0:02:21 | |
He told ITV that he knew nothing
about the organisation at the time | 0:02:21 | 0:02:24 | |
of his tweets in November. | 0:02:24 | 0:02:26 | |
President Trump is the first
US President to attend | 0:02:26 | 0:02:29 | |
Davos in 18 years. | 0:02:29 | 0:02:31 | |
His speech has just begun,
and we'll have more about that | 0:02:31 | 0:02:34 | |
later in the programme. | 0:02:34 | 0:02:35 | |
First, this report
is from our diplomatic | 0:02:35 | 0:02:37 | |
correspondent, James Robbins. | 0:02:37 | 0:02:44 | |
The President is revelling
in his dominance of Davos. | 0:02:44 | 0:02:47 | |
Donald Trump started out
by dismissing reports that he had | 0:02:47 | 0:02:50 | |
tried last June to sack
Richard Mueller, the man | 0:02:50 | 0:02:53 | |
heading the investigation
into Russian interference | 0:02:53 | 0:02:54 | |
in the 2016 presidential election. | 0:02:54 | 0:02:58 | |
Did you fire Mueller? | 0:02:58 | 0:03:01 | |
Did you fire Robert Mueller? | 0:03:01 | 0:03:03 | |
Fake news, folks, fake news. | 0:03:03 | 0:03:05 | |
What's your message today? | 0:03:05 | 0:03:06 | |
Typical New York Times fake stories. | 0:03:06 | 0:03:08 | |
That's not quite the same
as an outright denial, of course. | 0:03:08 | 0:03:10 | |
Mr President... | 0:03:10 | 0:03:15 | |
But in an interview
with Piers Morgan, | 0:03:15 | 0:03:17 | |
the President did come
close | 0:03:17 | 0:03:18 | |
to an uncharacteristic apology. | 0:03:18 | 0:03:20 | |
Donald Trump regretted
his retweeting of posts | 0:03:20 | 0:03:24 | |
from a British far-right group,
which prompted a rebuke | 0:03:24 | 0:03:26 | |
at the time from Theresa May. | 0:03:26 | 0:03:28 | |
It was done because I am a big
believer in fighting | 0:03:28 | 0:03:31 | |
radical Islamic terror. | 0:03:31 | 0:03:34 | |
This was a depiction
of radical Islamic terror. | 0:03:34 | 0:03:38 | |
They were unverified videota... | 0:03:38 | 0:03:41 | |
At least one of them
was not what it seems. | 0:03:41 | 0:03:43 | |
Well, they are. | 0:03:43 | 0:03:44 | |
But this was... | 0:03:44 | 0:03:45 | |
I didn't do it,
I didn't go out and... | 0:03:45 | 0:03:47 | |
I did a retweet. | 0:03:47 | 0:03:48 | |
It was a big story where
you are, but it was not | 0:03:48 | 0:03:51 | |
a big story where I am. | 0:03:51 | 0:03:53 | |
I get that. | 0:03:53 | 0:03:54 | |
Can I get an apology out of you just
for the retweets...? | 0:03:54 | 0:03:57 | |
Well, if you're telling me... | 0:03:57 | 0:03:58 | |
I think it would go a long way.
Here's what's fair. | 0:03:58 | 0:04:01 | |
If you're telling me
that's horrible people, | 0:04:01 | 0:04:02 | |
horrible racist people... | 0:04:02 | 0:04:03 | |
Yeah. | 0:04:03 | 0:04:04 | |
I would certainly apologise
if you'd like me to do that. | 0:04:04 | 0:04:07 | |
I know nothing about them. | 0:04:07 | 0:04:08 | |
And you would disavow yourself
of people like that? | 0:04:08 | 0:04:10 | |
I don't want to be
involved with people... | 0:04:10 | 0:04:12 | |
But you're telling me
about these people. | 0:04:12 | 0:04:14 | |
Yeah. | 0:04:14 | 0:04:15 | |
Because I know nothing
about these people. | 0:04:15 | 0:04:17 | |
All of which reinforces
his peacemaking with | 0:04:17 | 0:04:18 | |
Theresa May yesterday. | 0:04:18 | 0:04:20 | |
But the President's main motive
for coming to Switzerland | 0:04:20 | 0:04:22 | |
and the World Economic Forum,
to speak directly to | 0:04:22 | 0:04:24 | |
many of the richest,
most powerful business leaders | 0:04:24 | 0:04:26 | |
and opinion formers. | 0:04:26 | 0:04:27 | |
Ahead of his big speech,
many profoundly disagree | 0:04:27 | 0:04:31 | |
with Donald Trump's non-global
approach, but can't ignore America's | 0:04:31 | 0:04:33 | |
immense economic weight. | 0:04:33 | 0:04:38 | |
You have to be open and fair
to Trump, you have to tell him | 0:04:38 | 0:04:41 | |
that he all made us a bit richer,
compared to 12 months ago, | 0:04:41 | 0:04:44 | |
so for that we should thank him. | 0:04:44 | 0:04:46 | |
I don't have so many great
expectation, I'm looking | 0:04:46 | 0:04:48 | |
to have a good laugh, actually. | 0:04:48 | 0:04:49 | |
Thank you very much, everybody. | 0:04:49 | 0:04:53 | |
It's already clear what
the President is focused on. | 0:04:53 | 0:04:56 | |
Billions of dollars is coming back
into the US and I think | 0:04:56 | 0:04:59 | |
that will just continue. | 0:04:59 | 0:05:00 | |
How much today? | 0:05:00 | 0:05:01 | |
How much? | 0:05:01 | 0:05:02 | |
Probably a lot. | 0:05:02 | 0:05:04 | |
So, for Donald Trump, America first,
and the rest of the world playing | 0:05:04 | 0:05:07 | |
the part he has written for them. | 0:05:07 | 0:05:09 | |
James Robbins, BBC News. | 0:05:09 | 0:05:11 | |
Our economics editor
Kamal Ahmed is in Davos. | 0:05:11 | 0:05:17 | |
Kamal, what do Davos
attendees want to hear? | 0:05:17 | 0:05:21 | |
What sort of tone will he take?
Actually, he has just started | 0:05:21 | 0:05:26 | |
speaking. I think it is a more
conciliatory tone than some would | 0:05:26 | 0:05:29 | |
have been thinking. He is going to
be talking about America first, but | 0:05:29 | 0:05:36 | |
he is speaking in the conference
centre a few metres from where I am | 0:05:36 | 0:05:42 | |
right now, and it is not America
alone. America wants to work with | 0:05:42 | 0:05:45 | |
the rest of the global economies.
When America does well, you says, | 0:05:45 | 0:05:51 | |
the rest of the world as well. He
says he does not want trade wars but | 0:05:51 | 0:05:56 | |
he wants fair trades. He wants to
bring down the barriers to trade or | 0:05:56 | 0:06:00 | |
equalise them. His claim that
America only brings in place trade | 0:06:00 | 0:06:06 | |
barriers because there are trade
barriers elsewhere. The Tories not | 0:06:06 | 0:06:09 | |
quite as belligerent as we have
heard before. -- the tone is not. | 0:06:09 | 0:06:19 | |
heard before. -- the tone is not. It
is almost an mixture of Beyonce and | 0:06:19 | 0:06:21 | |
Hulk Hogan. He lost the theatre of
the event and wants to play the | 0:06:21 | 0:06:28 | |
strong man. He wants to say, I have
strengthened the economy and my | 0:06:28 | 0:06:37 | |
reforms have strengthened the
economy but I want to work with the | 0:06:37 | 0:06:38 | |
rest of the global autonomy is --
global economies. I think that will | 0:06:38 | 0:06:44 | |
go down quite well. OK, thank you. | 0:06:44 | 0:06:49 | |
The UK economy grew faster
than expected in the last | 0:06:49 | 0:06:51 | |
three months of 2017,
according to the Office | 0:06:51 | 0:06:53 | |
for National Statistics. | 0:06:53 | 0:06:54 | |
Figures released this morning show
that GDP expanded by 0.5% | 0:06:54 | 0:06:57 | |
in the fourth quarter of last year,
driven by growth in | 0:06:57 | 0:06:59 | |
the services sector. | 0:06:59 | 0:07:00 | |
But the ONS says the broader picture
is slower and more uneven growth. | 0:07:00 | 0:07:03 | |
Our economics correspondent
Andy Verity has the details. | 0:07:03 | 0:07:09 | |
In the Oxfordshire countryside, this
family run company makes | 0:07:09 | 0:07:15 | |
cutting-edge machines that use
ultrasound and short wave radiation | 0:07:15 | 0:07:17 | |
for physiotherapy. Helping patients
recover from injuries and strokes. | 0:07:17 | 0:07:23 | |
Last year, it saw a surge in orders
not from Europe but from the United | 0:07:23 | 0:07:27 | |
States and China. For companies like
this, any worries about Brexit are | 0:07:27 | 0:07:31 | |
for the distant future. What counts
for a lot more is what is happening | 0:07:31 | 0:07:35 | |
in the global economy. That has been
growing more strongly than most | 0:07:35 | 0:07:40 | |
economists expected. Exporters like
this have been able to tap into | 0:07:40 | 0:07:43 | |
growing markets in North America and
Asia and grow themselves. Because | 0:07:43 | 0:07:48 | |
there is no free trade deal with
China like there is with the EU, | 0:07:48 | 0:07:52 | |
each product for export has to be
approved by the Chinese authorities, | 0:07:52 | 0:07:56 | |
meaning years of filling out
documents and other bureaucratic | 0:07:56 | 0:08:01 | |
hurdles which is an informal barrier
to trade. You need patience but | 0:08:01 | 0:08:04 | |
eventually you may be rewarded. It
has been challenging. It took three | 0:08:04 | 0:08:09 | |
or four max years to gain approval
to sell into China. But with | 0:08:09 | 0:08:13 | |
patience and dedication, we have
those approvals. We have seen the | 0:08:13 | 0:08:18 | |
uplift in business now, that we are
able to expand to market the size of | 0:08:18 | 0:08:21 | |
China. Manufacturing is now one of
the bright spots of the economy, | 0:08:21 | 0:08:27 | |
growing by 1.3% in the last few
months of 2017. The economy overall | 0:08:27 | 0:08:33 | |
grew by 0.5%, slightly more than
most economists expected. All the | 0:08:33 | 0:08:37 | |
year, it grew by 1.8%, slower than
2016 but by no means the sharp | 0:08:37 | 0:08:42 | |
slowdown summit here. The British
economy is performing well and are | 0:08:42 | 0:08:46 | |
export markets are growing. We have
seen strong growth in services in | 0:08:46 | 0:08:50 | |
this quarter. The economy is
resilient. It has been much more | 0:08:50 | 0:08:54 | |
resilient than people expected.
Global growth is coming back, the | 0:08:54 | 0:08:59 | |
economic cycle is turning. Earlier
this week, the IMF downgraded our | 0:08:59 | 0:09:05 | |
growth figures. So, no, I think
we're in a very precarious | 0:09:05 | 0:09:09 | |
situation. While most of the growth
is coming from services, making up | 0:09:09 | 0:09:13 | |
four fifths of the economy, it was
weaker in so-called consumer facing | 0:09:13 | 0:09:17 | |
industries such as restaurant and
hotel. It appears that it is not | 0:09:17 | 0:09:23 | |
hitting the economy in the short
term, but productivity is sluggish | 0:09:23 | 0:09:28 | |
and it is a warning signal for us.
For one sector of the economy, the | 0:09:28 | 0:09:34 | |
warning of recession is no scare
story. It is reality. Construction | 0:09:34 | 0:09:39 | |
boom in 2016 but for my months now,
it has been shrinking. -- nine | 0:09:39 | 0:09:46 | |
months now. | 0:09:46 | 0:09:49 | |
Downing Street has distanced
itself from comments made | 0:09:49 | 0:09:51 | |
in Davos by the Chancellor,
Philip Hammond, after he said any | 0:09:51 | 0:09:55 | |
future change to the UK's relations
with the EU could be "very modest". | 0:09:55 | 0:09:58 | |
His remarks, during a speech
at the World Economic Forum, | 0:09:58 | 0:10:01 | |
were seized upon by Tory Leave
campaigners and criticised | 0:10:01 | 0:10:04 | |
by a number of Cabinet ministers. | 0:10:04 | 0:10:06 | |
The Brexit Secretary, David Davis,
is due later today to give details | 0:10:06 | 0:10:08 | |
of the Government's plans
for the transition phase after | 0:10:08 | 0:10:11 | |
the UK leaves the EU next year. | 0:10:11 | 0:10:12 | |
Here's our political
correspondent, Leila Nathoo. | 0:10:12 | 0:10:18 | |
The Alpine air of Davos,
a chance for Philip Hammond | 0:10:18 | 0:10:21 | |
to reassure business about Brexit. | 0:10:21 | 0:10:23 | |
But some of the Chancellor's
comments here have received a frosty | 0:10:23 | 0:10:26 | |
reception back home. | 0:10:26 | 0:10:27 | |
In a speech last night,
he said of Britain and the EU... | 0:10:27 | 0:10:30 | |
I think the context is important. | 0:10:39 | 0:10:43 | |
I was speaking about our trade
relationship with the EU, | 0:10:43 | 0:10:46 | |
and it is the Government's policy
that we want to maintain the maximum | 0:10:46 | 0:10:50 | |
possible access to markets
and the minimum friction | 0:10:50 | 0:10:51 | |
at our borders, because that's good
for the British economy, | 0:10:51 | 0:10:54 | |
it's good for British jobs and it's
good for British prosperity. | 0:10:54 | 0:11:02 | |
Number 10 had sought to put distance
between the PM and her neighbour, | 0:11:03 | 0:11:08 | |
saying leaving the single market
and the customs union | 0:11:08 | 0:11:10 | |
was not a "modest change". | 0:11:10 | 0:11:11 | |
Around the Cabinet table
and across the Conservative Party, | 0:11:11 | 0:11:13 | |
divisions over Brexit have once
again been exposed. | 0:11:13 | 0:11:17 | |
Leavers fear their vision of a clean
break with the EU is being derailed. | 0:11:17 | 0:11:20 | |
Well, I think this is not a good
position for the Chancellor to be | 0:11:20 | 0:11:24 | |
in, to be undermining the Prime
Minister. | 0:11:24 | 0:11:27 | |
That it is of the utmost urgency
that he should unite his position | 0:11:27 | 0:11:31 | |
with that of the Prime Minister,
and with that of the | 0:11:31 | 0:11:34 | |
Conservative Party. | 0:11:34 | 0:11:35 | |
I think a little bit of freelancing
in Davos is very unhelpful. | 0:11:35 | 0:11:40 | |
Theresa May has walked a delicate
path, trying to reconcile | 0:11:40 | 0:11:42 | |
the competing Brexit visions
within her party. | 0:11:42 | 0:11:46 | |
Signs of a wobble in that fragile
arrangement have again raised | 0:11:46 | 0:11:48 | |
questions about her authority. | 0:11:48 | 0:11:51 | |
Anyone who uses the word timid
about this Prime Minister | 0:11:51 | 0:11:53 | |
is absolutely wrong. | 0:11:53 | 0:11:57 | |
This is the Prime Minister who gave
us absolute clarity after the Brexit | 0:11:57 | 0:12:00 | |
vote that we were going to get back
control of our laws, | 0:12:00 | 0:12:03 | |
our borders and our money -
the most profound strategic decision | 0:12:03 | 0:12:06 | |
that any Prime Minister
needs to make. | 0:12:06 | 0:12:08 | |
She's under pressure from all sides,
at home and abroad, as the process | 0:12:08 | 0:12:12 | |
of leaving the EU continues
and the tussle over | 0:12:12 | 0:12:14 | |
what Brexit means goes on. | 0:12:14 | 0:12:17 | |
And Leila is in Westminster now. | 0:12:17 | 0:12:24 | |
That phrase, full confidence, was
used. What does this tell us about | 0:12:24 | 0:12:28 | |
the state of play?
This is an illustration about the | 0:12:28 | 0:12:31 | |
fact there is no consensus within
government, the Tory party over what | 0:12:31 | 0:12:35 | |
Brexit should actually look like. We
have heard from Brexiteers | 0:12:35 | 0:12:41 | |
criticising Philip Hammond, but just
last night, Brexiteer 's were making | 0:12:41 | 0:12:47 | |
their own case. Jacob Rees-Mogg
leads a group of Tory MPs supporting | 0:12:47 | 0:12:55 | |
Brexit. Dozens of backbenchers. Last
night, he gave a strongly worded | 0:12:55 | 0:13:00 | |
speech warning of the dangers of
speaking to close to the EU after | 0:13:00 | 0:13:04 | |
Brexit, calling for a fundamental
change in tone from the government. | 0:13:04 | 0:13:08 | |
You have these two groups making
themselves known in the Tory party, | 0:13:08 | 0:13:11 | |
putting pressure on the government
ahead of a speech 's afternoon by | 0:13:11 | 0:13:14 | |
David | 0:13:14 | 0:13:19 | |
David Davis, who wants to talk about
a desire to get together trade | 0:13:19 | 0:13:23 | |
deals. But they want to leave enough
time to sort out the shape of the | 0:13:23 | 0:13:29 | |
future arrangements. On that,
Theresa May will might just be | 0:13:29 | 0:13:33 | |
facing negotiations with Brussels,
she will navigate arguments within | 0:13:33 | 0:13:35 | |
her own party as well.
Thank you. | 0:13:35 | 0:13:43 | |
Several of the BBC's leading male
news presenters have | 0:13:43 | 0:13:45 | |
agreed to take a pay cut,
after revelations about unequal | 0:13:45 | 0:13:47 | |
pay at the corporation. | 0:13:47 | 0:13:51 | |
Jeremy Vine, John Humphrys,
Huw Edwards and Nicky Campbell have | 0:13:51 | 0:13:53 | |
all agreed, either formally
or in principle, to | 0:13:53 | 0:13:55 | |
reduce their salary. | 0:13:55 | 0:13:59 | |
It follows Carrie Gracie's
resignation as China editor | 0:13:59 | 0:14:01 | |
in protest at the unequal pay
between male and female | 0:14:01 | 0:14:03 | |
international editors. | 0:14:03 | 0:14:06 | |
Here's our media
correspondent David Sillito. | 0:14:06 | 0:14:11 | |
Arriving at work this morning was
Jeremy Wright, one of the BBC's | 0:14:11 | 0:14:16 | |
highest-paid presenters. However, he
has now agreed that his pay, more | 0:14:16 | 0:14:21 | |
than £700,000, should be cut. I
think it means to be sorted out. I | 0:14:21 | 0:14:26 | |
support my female colleagues who
have rightly said that they should | 0:14:26 | 0:14:28 | |
be paid the same when they are doing
the same job. It is just a | 0:14:28 | 0:14:34 | |
no-brainer. It wasn't a problem for
me to accept one. It is all part of | 0:14:34 | 0:14:39 | |
the fallout from this, the moment
the BBC was forced to reveal that he | 0:14:39 | 0:14:44 | |
-- VP of its highest-paid
presenters. Not only is there a | 0:14:44 | 0:14:47 | |
question of the size of the deals,
there is a big gap between male and | 0:14:47 | 0:14:51 | |
female presenters. The BBC says it
has agreed a series of pay cuts, | 0:14:51 | 0:14:54 | |
among them John Humphrys, Nicky
Campbell, yet was, Jeremy Vine, | 0:14:54 | 0:15:02 | |
before a meeting with MPs next week
to discuss the issue. I don't think | 0:15:02 | 0:15:08 | |
people making voluntary sacrifices
or individual gestures is a way to | 0:15:08 | 0:15:13 | |
solve what appears to be a very
large problem. If a job is worth | 0:15:13 | 0:15:16 | |
paying an amount of money for, it is
worth paying that amount of money | 0:15:16 | 0:15:20 | |
for that whoever does it, a man or
woman. Four of the BBC's leading | 0:15:20 | 0:15:25 | |
male news presenter say they will
take a pay cut in the wake of Carrie | 0:15:25 | 0:15:33 | |
Gracie resigning. This was the
slightly uncomfortable moment when | 0:15:33 | 0:15:38 | |
the news presenters find themselves
in the news built in. And it is not | 0:15:38 | 0:15:41 | |
the end of it. A BBC review of staff
pay is due out in the next few days, | 0:15:41 | 0:15:47 | |
along with a face-to-face meeting
with MPs. | 0:15:47 | 0:15:55 | |
Some big names but does this
announcement solve the overall issue | 0:15:56 | 0:16:00 | |
of equal pay? It certainly doesn't.
I think it is an opening shot. Part | 0:16:00 | 0:16:05 | |
of the reason those men are in the
headlines today is because a lot of | 0:16:05 | 0:16:10 | |
them, the ones in use as opposed to
the ones in radio like Jeremy Vine, | 0:16:10 | 0:16:14 | |
got these quite generous deals years
ago when the market was more | 0:16:14 | 0:16:18 | |
competitive. The world has changed,
most of the economic sub the | 0:16:18 | 0:16:20 | |
industry are suggesting that the
money is going into entertainment | 0:16:20 | 0:16:23 | |
rather than news, so the BBC has
accepted that those are pretty | 0:16:23 | 0:16:27 | |
generous deals which look slightly
out of date. But there is a fairly | 0:16:27 | 0:16:31 | |
strong response to that which is the
first of all the BBC should not | 0:16:31 | 0:16:34 | |
exist in the marketplace for talent
because it is a pub report has to. | 0:16:34 | 0:16:36 | |
And secondly a lot of women feel
they were | 0:16:36 | 0:16:43 | |
frozen out of those early
conversations, that they were not | 0:16:54 | 0:16:56 | |
getting those generous deals years
ago, so that marketplace was never | 0:16:56 | 0:16:58 | |
true for them. And thirdly, I think
this is an early move, six | 0:16:58 | 0:17:01 | |
high-profile cases, but it does not
solve the fundamental issue about | 0:17:01 | 0:17:04 | |
equal pay on and off screen for all
of the women who work at the BBC. | 0:17:04 | 0:17:06 | |
That is the issue which next week
the select committee will be looking | 0:17:06 | 0:17:09 | |
at, when the former China editor
Carrie Gracie will be testifying | 0:17:09 | 0:17:11 | |
along with the likes of Tony Hall
and Fran Unsworth, the new boss of | 0:17:11 | 0:17:14 | |
BBC News | 0:17:14 | 0:17:24 | |
at 10 | 0:17:33 | 0:17:33 | |
At least at 10 37
people have been killed | 0:17:33 | 0:17:35 | |
and more than 70 injured in a fire | 0:17:35 | 0:17:37 | |
at a hospital in South Korea. | 0:17:37 | 0:17:39 | |
About 200 patients were in Sejong
hospital, in the south | 0:17:39 | 0:17:41 | |
east of the country,
and an adjoining nursing | 0:17:41 | 0:17:43 | |
home at the time. | 0:17:43 | 0:17:44 | |
It is South Korea's deadliest
fire in almost a decade | 0:17:44 | 0:17:46 | |
and there are fears the death
toll could rise. | 0:17:46 | 0:17:49 | |
From Seoul, our correspondent
Laura Bicker reports. | 0:17:49 | 0:17:51 | |
Black smoke billowed
from the emergency wing, | 0:17:51 | 0:17:52 | |
as firefighters tried to get
to patients trapped inside. | 0:17:52 | 0:18:00 | |
There were nearly 200
people in the building. | 0:18:01 | 0:18:02 | |
Many were elderly. | 0:18:02 | 0:18:06 | |
Those who escaped needed
urgent treatment. | 0:18:06 | 0:18:08 | |
Others died on their
way to hospital, most | 0:18:08 | 0:18:10 | |
from smoke inhalation. | 0:18:10 | 0:18:11 | |
Firefighters said they did
everything they could. | 0:18:11 | 0:18:15 | |
TRANSLATION: We prevented the fire
from spreading to the second floor | 0:18:15 | 0:18:19 | |
in the early stages,
so that we could secure the second, | 0:18:19 | 0:18:22 | |
third, fourth and fifth floors. | 0:18:22 | 0:18:26 | |
As crews inspect the blackened
shell of the hospital, | 0:18:26 | 0:18:29 | |
it was revealed that no water
sprinklers had been installed. | 0:18:29 | 0:18:35 | |
This is the deadliest blaze
in a decade in South Korea, | 0:18:35 | 0:18:37 | |
and the government said
there would be a thorough | 0:18:37 | 0:18:39 | |
investigation. | 0:18:39 | 0:18:42 | |
TRANSLATION: The president has
ordered an investigation to figure | 0:18:42 | 0:18:44 | |
out the exact cause of the fire
and come up with measures to prevent | 0:18:44 | 0:18:47 | |
more fires at building complexes,
is as well as preparing support | 0:18:47 | 0:18:51 | |
more fires at building complexes,
as well as preparing support | 0:18:51 | 0:18:53 | |
measures to promptly cope
with the personnel and property | 0:18:53 | 0:18:55 | |
damage caused by this fire. | 0:18:55 | 0:18:57 | |
Just last month, 29 people
were killed in a fire | 0:18:57 | 0:18:59 | |
in a sports centre in Sejong. | 0:18:59 | 0:19:00 | |
An inquiry found there were too
few emergency exits, | 0:19:00 | 0:19:03 | |
and it had been built
with flammable materials. | 0:19:03 | 0:19:08 | |
Questions are now being asked
about safety regulations | 0:19:08 | 0:19:10 | |
in South Korea, and what needs to be
done to prevent something | 0:19:10 | 0:19:13 | |
like this happening again. | 0:19:13 | 0:19:19 | |

The time is 1.19. | 0:19:24 | 0:19:25 | |
Our top story this lunchtime... | 0:19:25 | 0:19:32 | |
President Trump says the world is
witnessing a resurgence of a strong | 0:19:32 | 0:19:36 | |
and | 0:19:36 | 0:19:37 | |
prosperous America. | 0:19:37 | 0:19:41 | |
And coming up... | 0:19:41 | 0:19:43 | |
The British Paralympic champion,
Sophie Hahn, responds to claims | 0:19:43 | 0:19:47 | |
The British Paralympic champion
Sophie Hahn responds to claims | 0:19:47 | 0:19:49 | |
that she gained unfair advantage
over her impairment classification. | 0:19:49 | 0:19:57 | |
There's been a big rise
in the number of cars needing to be | 0:20:05 | 0:20:08 | |
repaired because of damage caused
by potholes, according to the RAC. | 0:20:08 | 0:20:11 | |
The motoring organisation says
the number of cases increased by 11% | 0:20:11 | 0:20:14 | |
in the last three months of 2017,
compared with the same | 0:20:14 | 0:20:17 | |
period the year before. | 0:20:17 | 0:20:17 | |
Here's our transport
correspondent Victoria Fritz. | 0:20:17 | 0:20:21 | |
It's bin day in Thurrock. | 0:20:21 | 0:20:22 | |
You're looking at the front line
in the council's war on potholes. | 0:20:22 | 0:20:27 | |
These trucks are part
of a pilot across three | 0:20:27 | 0:20:29 | |
councils arming bin lorries,
buses and even an electric bike | 0:20:29 | 0:20:31 | |
with the ability to gather
intelligence on the road. | 0:20:31 | 0:20:34 | |
They're getting around 50,000 images
like this per month. | 0:20:34 | 0:20:39 | |
We have to interpret those,
turn those into a model, | 0:20:39 | 0:20:42 | |
to then bring back to the councils
and show, this is how your | 0:20:42 | 0:20:45 | |
road is deteriorating. | 0:20:45 | 0:20:48 | |
Ultimately what we're trying to do
is give them the information that | 0:20:48 | 0:20:51 | |
will allow them to plan how
to intervene before | 0:20:51 | 0:20:53 | |
a pothole becomes a pothole. | 0:20:53 | 0:20:55 | |
Britain's roads are getting worse. | 0:20:55 | 0:20:57 | |
That's the verdict from the RAC. | 0:20:57 | 0:21:01 | |
Patrols attended 2,830
pothole-related breakdowns | 0:21:01 | 0:21:05 | |
between October and December
of last year. | 0:21:05 | 0:21:07 | |
That's 11% more than over the same
period the year before. | 0:21:07 | 0:21:10 | |
Most UK road journeys begin or end
on local roads like this one, | 0:21:10 | 0:21:15 | |
and this is where potholes
are a particular problem. | 0:21:15 | 0:21:19 | |
Now, it's local councils who have
to foot the bill for fixing these, | 0:21:19 | 0:21:22 | |
and also pay out compensation
for drivers affected. | 0:21:22 | 0:21:26 | |
In the meantime, motorists
are paying the price. | 0:21:26 | 0:21:30 | |
Cars damaged by poor roads routinely
roll into this workshop. | 0:21:30 | 0:21:34 | |
We get multiple instances a week
where we have pothole damage. | 0:21:34 | 0:21:38 | |
Recently we had shock absorbers
damaged, where it cost the customer | 0:21:38 | 0:21:41 | |
about £480 to repair. | 0:21:41 | 0:21:43 | |
Yesterday we had a puncture come
in just from hitting | 0:21:43 | 0:21:46 | |
a tiny little pothole -
that cost him £300 | 0:21:46 | 0:21:49 | |
for a brand-new tyre. | 0:21:49 | 0:21:50 | |
We see stuff like this everyday. | 0:21:50 | 0:21:51 | |
Councils spent £4.4 billion last
year on road repair work. | 0:21:51 | 0:21:54 | |
But the backlog of work
would take years to clear. | 0:21:54 | 0:21:57 | |
Councils are fixing a pothole
on average every 19 seconds. | 0:21:57 | 0:22:02 | |
But the big challenge is that
government funds national roads, | 0:22:02 | 0:22:05 | |
2% of the network, at £1.1 million
a mile, and only £21,000 | 0:22:05 | 0:22:08 | |
for those that are maintained
by local authorities. | 0:22:08 | 0:22:12 | |
The government says
it is for councils to identify | 0:22:12 | 0:22:15 | |
where repairs should be undertaken. | 0:22:15 | 0:22:18 | |
But with budgets under
increasing scrutiny, | 0:22:18 | 0:22:21 | |
councils may have to find smarter
ways to fill the holes. | 0:22:21 | 0:22:24 | |
Victoria Fritz, BBC News. | 0:22:24 | 0:22:29 | |
A decision is due later
about whether the United States | 0:22:29 | 0:22:32 | |
will add import tariffs to sales
of Bombardier's C-Series aircraft. | 0:22:32 | 0:22:35 | |
Unions have argued that
a tariff could threaten up | 0:22:35 | 0:22:38 | |
to 1,000 jobs in Belfast,
where the plane's wings | 0:22:38 | 0:22:42 | |
are manufactured. | 0:22:42 | 0:22:44 | |
Chris Page is at the company's
factory in east Belfast. | 0:22:44 | 0:22:52 | |
And a difficult day, Chris? Yes,
that's right. Workers here in east | 0:22:52 | 0:23:02 | |
Belfast have found themselves at the
centre of what is really a huge | 0:23:02 | 0:23:05 | |
North American trade dispute. The US
firm Boeing has claimed that the | 0:23:05 | 0:23:14 | |
Canadian company Bombardier has been
able to sell its C-series passenger | 0:23:14 | 0:23:16 | |
jets for less than it cost to build
them because of unfair financial | 0:23:16 | 0:23:19 | |
assistance from the UK and Canadian
governance. The wings for the | 0:23:19 | 0:23:22 | |
C-series are made in Northern
Ireland, around 1000 workers | 0:23:22 | 0:23:25 | |
employed directly and many more
companies supplying parts and | 0:23:25 | 0:23:28 | |
services to Bombardier. The unions
have warned the applications for the | 0:23:28 | 0:23:33 | |
economy of Northern Ireland could be
very serious indeed. So far the US | 0:23:33 | 0:23:37 | |
trade authorities have agreed with
Boeing's arguments that Bombardier | 0:23:37 | 0:23:41 | |
has been given an unfair advantage
and they have proposed tariff, | 0:23:41 | 0:23:46 | |
almost 300% of. Since Boeing made
its initial complaint there has been | 0:23:46 | 0:23:50 | |
some better news for Bombardier. The
European aircraft manufacturer | 0:23:50 | 0:23:54 | |
Airbus has bought a controlling
stake in the C-series project which | 0:23:54 | 0:23:57 | |
could potentially soften the blow to
Belfast's operation but nonetheless | 0:23:57 | 0:24:03 | |
it is still a very own chess
afternoon workers have here ahead of | 0:24:03 | 0:24:08 | |
the ruling from Washington this
evening. Chris Page, thank you. | 0:24:08 | 0:24:15 | |
More now on Davos, where
Donald Trump has been | 0:24:19 | 0:24:21 | |
addressing delegates | 0:24:21 | 0:24:22 | |
at the World Economic Forum. | 0:24:22 | 0:24:24 | |
He has said he is there to represent
the American people and that the | 0:24:24 | 0:24:29 | |
world is witnessing the resurgence
of a strong and prosperous America. | 0:24:29 | 0:24:31 | |
I believe in America. As president
of the United States, I will always | 0:24:31 | 0:24:38 | |
put America first, just like the
leaders of other countries should | 0:24:38 | 0:24:44 | |
put their country first also. But
America first does not mean America | 0:24:44 | 0:24:53 | |
alone. When the United States grows,
so does the world. American | 0:24:53 | 0:25:02 | |
prosperity has created countless
jobs all around the globe. That was | 0:25:02 | 0:25:08 | |
what part of what Donald Trump has
been saying this lunchtime. And | 0:25:08 | 0:25:13 | |
there is much more analysis of that
speech throughout the afternoon on | 0:25:13 | 0:25:15 | |
the BBC News Channel. | 0:25:15 | 0:25:20 | |
New guidance from the NHS medicines
watchdog the National Institute | 0:25:20 | 0:25:24 | |
for Health and Care Excellence says
most sore throats can be | 0:25:24 | 0:25:27 | |
treated with paracetamol. | 0:25:27 | 0:25:28 | |
Research suggests that
antibiotics are being | 0:25:28 | 0:25:29 | |
prescribed in 60% of cases -
potentially contributing | 0:25:29 | 0:25:31 | |
to the development of strains
of bacteria which can't be treated | 0:25:31 | 0:25:34 | |
by the drugs. | 0:25:34 | 0:25:35 | |
Here's our health
correspondent Dominic Hughes. | 0:25:35 | 0:25:39 | |
The overuse of antibiotics
is leading to the development | 0:25:39 | 0:25:41 | |
of bacteria resistant
to these life-saving drugs. | 0:25:41 | 0:25:43 | |
Leading health experts
have warned this poses | 0:25:43 | 0:25:45 | |
a serious threat to the UK. | 0:25:45 | 0:25:46 | |
If we lose the ability to fight
infection, common medical procedures | 0:25:46 | 0:25:49 | |
such as Caesarean sections
and cancer treatments | 0:25:49 | 0:25:51 | |
could become too risky. | 0:25:51 | 0:25:53 | |
Prescribing antibiotics to treat
a sore throat is a prime example | 0:25:53 | 0:25:56 | |
of the way they can be misused. | 0:25:56 | 0:25:59 | |
Sore throats account for nearly one
in four of GP appointments in the UK | 0:25:59 | 0:26:02 | |
related to the infections
of the lungs and airways. | 0:26:02 | 0:26:07 | |
Research suggests that
in 60% of those cases, | 0:26:07 | 0:26:09 | |
antibiotics are prescribed. | 0:26:09 | 0:26:13 | |
But most sore throats are caused
by a viral infection, | 0:26:13 | 0:26:15 | |
on which antibiotics
will have no effect. | 0:26:15 | 0:26:20 | |
We've become a bit, erm,
acclimatised to thinking | 0:26:20 | 0:26:21 | |
that we need an antibiotic whenever
we've got something wrong with us. | 0:26:21 | 0:26:25 | |
And we don't, and we just have to be
re-educated, I suppose, | 0:26:25 | 0:26:28 | |
to think what we can do
for ourselves, and to, importantly, | 0:26:28 | 0:26:31 | |
preserve the use of antibiotics
for really serious infections. | 0:26:31 | 0:26:36 | |
The latest advice from the NHS
medicines watchdog reminds doctors | 0:26:36 | 0:26:39 | |
and nurses that most sore throats
will get better within a week, | 0:26:39 | 0:26:43 | |
and only the most serious bacterial
infections need antibiotics. | 0:26:43 | 0:26:49 | |
Most patients are best advised
to drink plenty of fluids | 0:26:49 | 0:26:51 | |
and to take paracetamol or ibuprofen
to help pain relief. | 0:26:51 | 0:26:59 | |
The British Paralympic and world
champion Sophie Hahn | 0:27:02 | 0:27:04 | |
has spoken of her anger
at having her impairment | 0:27:04 | 0:27:06 | |
classification questioned. | 0:27:06 | 0:27:09 | |
Sophie Hahn has cerebral palsy,
which affects her movement | 0:27:09 | 0:27:11 | |
and co-ordination. | 0:27:11 | 0:27:14 | |
In October at a Parliamentary
hearing into Paralympic | 0:27:14 | 0:27:16 | |
classification, the father
of one her team-mates claimed | 0:27:16 | 0:27:19 | |
she was benefiting from competing
in the wrong category. | 0:27:19 | 0:27:21 | |
In her first interview since then,
she's told our reporter | 0:27:21 | 0:27:24 | |
Kate Grey that she found
the claims heartbreaking. | 0:27:24 | 0:27:32 | |
Hi. | 0:27:33 | 0:27:34 | |
Hi. | 0:27:34 | 0:27:35 | |
Hello. | 0:27:35 | 0:27:37 | |
Sophie Hahn is normally
a private person. | 0:27:37 | 0:27:40 | |
But after being named in a row over
classification in Paralympic sport, | 0:27:40 | 0:27:43 | |
she's invited me to her family home
to give her side of the story. | 0:27:43 | 0:27:50 | |
It's just really heartbreaking
for me, and it doesn't | 0:27:50 | 0:27:53 | |
do the sport any good. | 0:27:53 | 0:27:55 | |
We want to inspire people,
we want people with disability | 0:27:55 | 0:28:00 | |
to come and try it out. | 0:28:00 | 0:28:01 | |
In October, while giving evidence
to a committee of MPs, | 0:28:01 | 0:28:04 | |
Michael Breen, the father
of Olivia Breen, who competes | 0:28:04 | 0:28:06 | |
in the same category as Sophie,
appeared to call into question | 0:28:06 | 0:28:09 | |
Sophie's classification. | 0:28:09 | 0:28:10 | |
Ms Hahn didn't have cerebral palsy,
but she had learning difficulties. | 0:28:10 | 0:28:13 | |
But she'd ended up with a cerebral
palsy classification. | 0:28:13 | 0:28:17 | |
Claiming she has an unfair advantage
over her competitors, | 0:28:17 | 0:28:21 | |
by having less of an impairment. | 0:28:21 | 0:28:23 | |
I was really angry and upset. | 0:28:23 | 0:28:25 | |
I never imagined seeing my face
all over the internet, | 0:28:25 | 0:28:28 | |
the newspaper, the TV. | 0:28:28 | 0:28:30 | |
I think with me, I just
work unbelievably hard. | 0:28:30 | 0:28:34 | |
I put in hours of
training on the track. | 0:28:34 | 0:28:39 | |
It was interesting, we were told
you'd never go to a sports day... | 0:28:39 | 0:28:42 | |
Sophie is a twin and
following a complicated birth | 0:28:42 | 0:28:44 | |
was diagnosed with brain damage,
which affected her growth | 0:28:44 | 0:28:47 | |
and development as a child. | 0:28:47 | 0:28:51 | |
Over the first two, three years,
she couldn't sit, couldn't walk | 0:28:51 | 0:28:55 | |
until she was three. | 0:28:55 | 0:28:58 | |
She didn't stand until she was two. | 0:28:58 | 0:28:59 | |
She spent most of her life
in the children's centre. | 0:28:59 | 0:29:05 | |
In the four years since she's been
competing, her family have | 0:29:05 | 0:29:07 | |
felt her achievements have been
undermined by behind-the-scenes | 0:29:07 | 0:29:09 | |
accusations that Sophie
is in the wrong category. | 0:29:09 | 0:29:14 | |
No two athletes are the same,
so there will be groups. | 0:29:14 | 0:29:17 | |
We've questioned whether or not
we should, you know, carry on. | 0:29:17 | 0:29:21 | |
Yeah. | 0:29:21 | 0:29:22 | |
And so has Sophie, to be honest. | 0:29:22 | 0:29:24 | |
There are times when Sophie
has said, that's it. | 0:29:24 | 0:29:26 | |
I'm quitting. | 0:29:26 | 0:29:27 | |
It's not worth it. | 0:29:27 | 0:29:28 | |
In the next few months,
Sophie will have to go | 0:29:28 | 0:29:30 | |
through the classification process
again, along with many other | 0:29:30 | 0:29:33 | |
athletes, in accordance
with the changes made | 0:29:33 | 0:29:34 | |
by the Paralympic committee. | 0:29:34 | 0:29:38 | |
But for now, she's fully focused
on her training ahead of competing | 0:29:38 | 0:29:40 | |
in the Commonwealth Games
for the first time. | 0:29:40 | 0:29:44 | |
If I could add the Commonwealth
title, then I would have | 0:29:44 | 0:29:48 | |
had all titles at 21. | 0:29:48 | 0:29:50 | |
And just keep going, keep striding,
getting better, really. | 0:29:50 | 0:29:54 | |
And that's how Sophie
wants to be remembered, | 0:29:54 | 0:29:57 | |
for her success on the track rather
than what goes on of it. | 0:29:57 | 0:30:00 | |
Go! | 0:30:00 | 0:30:01 | |

A discount on Nutella has led
to violent scenes in a chain | 0:30:07 | 0:30:10 | |
of French supermarkets,
as shoppers jostled | 0:30:10 | 0:30:11 | |
to grab a bargain. | 0:30:11 | 0:30:13 | |

Some blue skies on offer for many of
us today. This photo was sent in by | 0:30:44 | 0:30:48 | |
a Weather Watcher from Shropshire.
The best sunshine has been the | 0:30:48 | 0:30:52 | |
further west you are. The cloud in
the south-east this morning is | 0:30:52 | 0:31:00 | |
breaking up to allow some sunshine.
That is due to an area of high | 0:31:00 | 0:31:02 | |
pressure which is coming in from the
west. But we do have these weather | 0:31:02 | 0:31:05 | |
fronts waiting in the wings, which
will bring change this weekend. This | 0:31:05 | 0:31:08 | |
afternoon a lot of dry, bright
weather around, perhaps a bit more | 0:31:08 | 0:31:14 | |
high-level cloud for Scotland and
Northern Ireland. That is ahead of | 0:31:14 | 0:31:17 | |
the front coming in from the west,
but feeling fairly cool. Going | 0:31:17 | 0:31:21 | |
through this evening and overnight,
that rain works in eastwards into | 0:31:21 | 0:31:25 | |
parts of Scotland and Wales and
south-west England, bringing some | 0:31:25 | 0:31:31 | |
patchy rain and more cloud. Further
east with clearer skies it will | 0:31:31 | 0:31:36 | |
allow the temperatures to fall away.
One or two patches of frost knocked | 0:31:36 | 0:31:42 | |
out of the question in rural spots.
This is the weather front which is | 0:31:42 | 0:31:46 | |
coming in as we move into Saturday.
It will bring some wet weather and | 0:31:46 | 0:31:52 | |
you can see the tightly packed
isobars meaning a windy day. Some | 0:31:52 | 0:31:56 | |
heavy rain for parts of Scotland
tomorrow morning. It will have | 0:31:56 | 0:32:01 | |
largely gone through Northern
Ireland by then. The best of the | 0:32:01 | 0:32:09 | |
brightness will be the further south
and east you are. A few patches of | 0:32:09 | 0:32:13 | |
mist and fog first thing but they
should lift fairly quickly. The rain | 0:32:13 | 0:32:19 | |
will be pierced in the north, and it
works its way eastwards as we move | 0:32:19 | 0:32:23 | |
through the day, becoming
increasingly patchy into the | 0:32:23 | 0:32:26 | |
afternoon. Behind it, some brighter
intervals for eastern Scotland, | 0:32:26 | 0:32:32 | |
Northern Ireland and north-east
England. Some potentially thundery | 0:32:32 | 0:32:35 | |
showers for Scotland and the far
north. Mild temperatures, in the | 0:32:35 | 0:32:38 | |
double figures, thanks to the mild
air which we are pulling in from the | 0:32:38 | 0:32:44 | |
south-west. That will continue to
work its way in as we move through | 0:32:44 | 0:32:50 | |
Sunday, which will be a mild day for
many of us. South of this, a bit | 0:32:50 | 0:32:58 | |
more cloud. Some brighter intervals,
particularly to the east of higher | 0:32:58 | 0:33:02 | |
ground, but mild temperatures by the
time we get to Sunday. So, change on | 0:33:02 | 0:33:08 | |
the way as we move into the weekend,
with mild temperatures. | 0:33:08 | 0:33:12 | |
