Two British jihadis captured
in Syria have been accused | 0:00:06 | 0:00:10 | |
of murdering more than 20 prisoners. | 0:00:10 | 0:00:14 | |
Relatives of hostages
murdered by the men say | 0:00:14 | 0:00:17 | |
they should be locked up -
and the key thrown away. | 0:00:17 | 0:00:21 | |
If it goes to trial,
I'll certainly be there. | 0:00:21 | 0:00:24 | |
I certainly want to look them
in the eye and let them know | 0:00:24 | 0:00:27 | |
that I'm who I am. | 0:00:27 | 0:00:30 | |
And they have destroyed
a big part of my life. | 0:00:30 | 0:00:34 | |
We will have the latest on their
capture. | 0:00:34 | 0:00:37 | |

The 23rd Winter Olympics have
officially opened in South Korea. | 0:00:44 | 0:00:52 | |
This is the scene
live in Pyongchang. | 0:00:53 | 0:00:55 | |
There was a show of unity,
as athletes from north and south | 0:00:55 | 0:00:58 | |
Korea entered the stadium together
as one team. | 0:00:58 | 0:01:01 | |
And a handshake between
the President of South Korea | 0:01:01 | 0:01:09 | |
and the sister of the North Korean
leader, it was greeted by cheers. | 0:01:12 | 0:01:15 | |
The athletes from ROK and DPRK, | 0:01:15 | 0:01:17 | |
by marching together, | 0:01:17 | 0:01:18 | |
send a powerful message
of peace to the world. | 0:01:18 | 0:01:26 | |

After talks with the Scottish FA,
former boss Walter Smith has ruled | 0:01:40 | 0:01:43 | |
out a return to replace
Gordon Strachan as the | 0:01:43 | 0:01:45 | |
country's new head coach. | 0:01:45 | 0:01:48 | |
Good afternoon and welcome
to the BBC News at One. | 0:02:07 | 0:02:11 | |
Victims of two British Islamic State
jihadists, who've been captured | 0:02:11 | 0:02:15 | |
in Syria, have called for them
to face justice in court. | 0:02:15 | 0:02:21 | |
Alexanda Kotey and El Shafee
Elsheikh were seized | 0:02:21 | 0:02:23 | |
by Kurdish forces last month. | 0:02:23 | 0:02:25 | |
Bethany Haines, whose father David
was murdered by the cell, | 0:02:25 | 0:02:29 | |
says the men should be forced
to look the people whose lives | 0:02:29 | 0:02:32 | |
they've destroyed in the eye. | 0:02:32 | 0:02:34 | |
US officials say the group have
murdered more than 20 hostages. | 0:02:34 | 0:02:40 | |
Richard Galpin has the latest. | 0:02:40 | 0:02:46 | |
34-year-old Alexanda Kotey
was captured in Eastern Syria | 0:02:46 | 0:02:48 | |
last month, along with 29-year-old
El Shafee Elsheikh. | 0:02:48 | 0:02:50 | |
The news only confirmed
now by US officials. | 0:02:50 | 0:02:56 | |
They were caught by Syrian
Kurdish fighters like these, | 0:02:56 | 0:02:58 | |
who are backed by the Americans. | 0:02:58 | 0:03:01 | |
US forces have been
interrogating the two men. | 0:03:01 | 0:03:06 | |
The other members of the notorious
British gang of IS fighters | 0:03:06 | 0:03:10 | |
were Aine Davis, who's in jail
in Turkey, and the ringleader, | 0:03:10 | 0:03:16 | |
Mohammed Emwazi,
known as Jihadi John, | 0:03:16 | 0:03:19 | |
killed in a drone strike in 2015. | 0:03:19 | 0:03:20 | |
Kotey and Elsheikh were
the last to be found. | 0:03:20 | 0:03:24 | |
Today, the police went
to the family home of | 0:03:24 | 0:03:27 | |
El Shafee Elsheikh in West London. | 0:03:27 | 0:03:30 | |
All the gang came from the same
area, and were radicalised here | 0:03:30 | 0:03:33 | |
before leaving for Syria and Iraq. | 0:03:33 | 0:03:35 | |
Makeshift bomb shelters
in the bottom of a school... | 0:03:35 | 0:03:41 | |
The American journalist James Foley
was the first of at at least | 0:03:41 | 0:03:43 | |
27 Western hostages,
who US officials say | 0:03:43 | 0:03:45 | |
were beheaded by the gang. | 0:03:45 | 0:03:48 | |
The killing videoed,
and then put on the Internet. | 0:03:48 | 0:03:51 | |
And this is David Haines,
a British aid worker, | 0:03:51 | 0:03:54 | |
who was also captured
by Islamic State | 0:03:54 | 0:03:55 | |
and beheaded in 2014. | 0:03:55 | 0:04:00 | |
Alan Henning, a former taxi driver,
who became a volunteer aid worker | 0:04:00 | 0:04:07 | |
in Syria in 2013, was the second
British man to be murdered. | 0:04:07 | 0:04:12 | |
All these killings and
others carried out by | 0:04:12 | 0:04:14 | |
Mohammed Emwazi, Jihadi John. | 0:04:14 | 0:04:18 | |
This morning, David
Haines's daughter | 0:04:18 | 0:04:26 | |
gave her response to the capture
of Alexanda Kotey and Elsheikh, who | 0:04:26 | 0:04:33 | |
who are accused of torturing
hostages. | 0:04:33 | 0:04:37 | |
They should die a long,
slow, painful death. | 0:04:37 | 0:04:39 | |
And I think quite a lot
of people understand that, | 0:04:39 | 0:04:41 | |
that they shouldn't be
allowed to live. | 0:04:41 | 0:04:43 | |
But realistically, that's
not going to happen. | 0:04:43 | 0:04:45 | |
And you have to come
to terms with that. | 0:04:45 | 0:04:47 | |
The best thing for them is to be
locked up and throw away the key. | 0:04:47 | 0:04:50 | |
They should never be
allowed back into society, | 0:04:50 | 0:04:52 | |
because they will just recruit
people, and they will | 0:04:52 | 0:04:54 | |
just do this again. | 0:04:54 | 0:04:55 | |
If it goes to trial,
I'll certainly be there. | 0:04:55 | 0:04:58 | |
I certainly want to look them
in the eye and let them | 0:04:58 | 0:05:00 | |
know that I'm who I am. | 0:05:00 | 0:05:02 | |
And they've destroyed
a big part of my life. | 0:05:02 | 0:05:04 | |
Some Westerners guarded
by the British gang did | 0:05:04 | 0:05:06 | |
manage to get out alive,
including French journalist | 0:05:06 | 0:05:08 | |
Nicola Henin, who's delighted
by the capture of Kotey | 0:05:08 | 0:05:14 | |
and Elsheikh take
but want proper trial. | 0:05:14 | 0:05:16 | |
Revenge is an endless cycle,
where justice eventually aims | 0:05:16 | 0:05:18 | |
at extinguishing violence by setting
up all the grievances | 0:05:18 | 0:05:21 | |
and bringing back peace.
And this is what I want. | 0:05:21 | 0:05:27 | |
But it's possible Kotey and Elsheikh
may end up here at Guantanamo Bay, | 0:05:27 | 0:05:30 | |
where there would not be
a normal trial. | 0:05:30 | 0:05:32 | |
Although it's not confirmed,
the BBC believes they've been | 0:05:32 | 0:05:34 | |
stripped of their British
citizenship, which means | 0:05:34 | 0:05:40 | |
they could remain in American hands.
Richard Galpin, BBC News. | 0:05:40 | 0:05:42 | |
Our security correspondent
Gordon Corera is here. | 0:05:42 | 0:05:47 | |
Are we getting any clearer sense of
what will happen next? We are not | 0:05:47 | 0:05:53 | |
sure yet, there are clearly options
that we heard there. It is possible | 0:05:53 | 0:05:57 | |
they could go on trial in the United
States, particularly for the killing | 0:05:57 | 0:06:00 | |
of US hostages. It is likely the US
Department of Justice are building a | 0:06:00 | 0:06:05 | |
case to do that. It is possible that
some people in the Trump | 0:06:05 | 0:06:08 | |
administration may want to send them
to Guantanamo, they have not said | 0:06:08 | 0:06:12 | |
that specifically, but in the last
few months, people have said they | 0:06:12 | 0:06:15 | |
would like to resume sending betaine
ease from what they | 0:06:15 | 0:06:23 | |
call the battlefield to Guantanamo.
It has happened in the past, which | 0:06:29 | 0:06:31 | |
hasn't been done some years. That is
likely to be a decision that comes | 0:06:31 | 0:06:34 | |
out of Washington and is
Washington's choice ultimately, | 0:06:34 | 0:06:36 | |
assuming they are in full control
because the Kurdish forces | 0:06:36 | 0:06:38 | |
originally picked them up. Written's
role is less clear, because it is | 0:06:38 | 0:06:40 | |
thought these men have been deprived
of their British citizenship under | 0:06:40 | 0:06:43 | |
special powers, and so, Britain's
role and the ability to bring them | 0:06:43 | 0:06:46 | |
here to trial looks less certain or
possible. The priority is to get | 0:06:46 | 0:06:52 | |
intelligence from the men to
understand what has happened to | 0:06:52 | 0:06:55 | |
other foreign fighters, two other
British National 's that have been | 0:06:55 | 0:06:59 | |
out in Iraq and Syria, and to
understand where they are and if | 0:06:59 | 0:07:02 | |
they pose a threat. There is the
issue of what happens in the future, | 0:07:02 | 0:07:06 | |
but also getting as much information
as they can from them. Gordon, thank | 0:07:06 | 0:07:10 | |
you for now. Gordon Corera. | 0:07:10 | 0:07:15 | |
The EU's chief negotiatior,
Michel Barnier, has thrown | 0:07:15 | 0:07:17 | |
into doubt the UK's plans
for a transition period | 0:07:17 | 0:07:20 | |
after Brexit, saying it's
not a given, if disagreements | 0:07:20 | 0:07:22 | |
in the negotiations persist. | 0:07:22 | 0:07:26 | |
Mr Barnier also told a news
conference that checks at the Irish | 0:07:26 | 0:07:30 | |
border will be unavoidable,
once Britain has left the single | 0:07:30 | 0:07:32 | |
market and customs union. | 0:07:32 | 0:07:37 | |
This future relationship would
need to avoid a hard border, | 0:07:37 | 0:07:40 | |
and protect North-South cooperation
and the Good Friday Agreement. | 0:07:40 | 0:07:46 | |
Once again, ladies and gentlemen,
it is important to tell the truth. | 0:07:46 | 0:07:52 | |
A UK decision
to leave the single market | 0:07:52 | 0:07:55 | |
and to leave the customs union would
make border checks unavoidable. | 0:07:55 | 0:08:02 | |
Adam Fleming is in Brussels. | 0:08:02 | 0:08:07 | |
There was some tough language, Adam,
what should we be reading into all | 0:08:08 | 0:08:12 | |
of this? Michel Barnier wanted to
remind everyone of this issue of | 0:08:12 | 0:08:15 | |
avoiding a hard border on the island
of Ireland has only been part, it | 0:08:15 | 0:08:20 | |
has not been solved, and it is still
quite a tricky one. He also wanted | 0:08:20 | 0:08:24 | |
to send a message that the British
objections to the EU's plans for how | 0:08:24 | 0:08:29 | |
the transition or implementation
period will work mean that it might | 0:08:29 | 0:08:32 | |
not be agreed as quickly as the UK
would like. To that, the Brits would | 0:08:32 | 0:08:37 | |
say it is a negotiation and they are
negotiating. There was also a weird | 0:08:37 | 0:08:41 | |
episode where there was a
disagreement between both sides | 0:08:41 | 0:08:44 | |
whether Michel Barnier could be in
the room this morning while British | 0:08:44 | 0:08:48 | |
civil servants were speaking to
European Commission civil servants, | 0:08:48 | 0:08:51 | |
and that one has not been solved
yet. I described last month as dried | 0:08:51 | 0:08:56 | |
anyway for Brexit and not much
seemed to happen, not the case in | 0:08:56 | 0:08:59 | |
February, is it? At, thank you. Adam
Fleming in Brussels. | 0:08:59 | 0:09:06 | |
So where does this leave the Brexit
negotiations on the issue of trade? | 0:09:06 | 0:09:09 | |
Chris Morris from the BBC's
Reality Check team is here. | 0:09:09 | 0:09:14 | |
There are now less than two months
before the beginning | 0:09:14 | 0:09:17 | |
of the financial year
in which Brexit actually happens, | 0:09:17 | 0:09:19 | |
so it's hardly surprising that
pressure from business for greater | 0:09:19 | 0:09:21 | |
clarity is becoming intense. | 0:09:21 | 0:09:27 | |
As we've just heard,
negotiations between UK and EU | 0:09:27 | 0:09:29 | |
officials have been taking place
in Brussels again this week, | 0:09:29 | 0:09:32 | |
with plenty still to be resolved
over the withdrawal agreement | 0:09:32 | 0:09:34 | |
and the details of
a transition period after Brexit. | 0:09:34 | 0:09:36 | |
But in the long term,
this is what people want to know - | 0:09:36 | 0:09:40 | |
how is the UK's future relationship
with the EU going to work? | 0:09:40 | 0:09:44 | |
That means reaching an agreement
on trade arrangements, | 0:09:44 | 0:09:47 | |
trying to negotiate a security
treaty, and working out how future | 0:09:47 | 0:09:50 | |
foreign policy cooperation
will work in practice. | 0:09:50 | 0:09:58 | |
But it is trade, in fact,
the entire economic relationship - | 0:10:02 | 0:10:05 | |
that is proving
the most difficult to pin down. | 0:10:05 | 0:10:07 | |
Formal negotiations
haven't even started yet. | 0:10:07 | 0:10:09 | |
And yesterday we had a reminder
that the lack of clarity | 0:10:09 | 0:10:11 | |
is making people nervous,
even outside of Europe. | 0:10:11 | 0:10:13 | |
If there is no profitability
of continuing operations in UK - | 0:10:13 | 0:10:19 | |
not Japanese only -
no private company can | 0:10:19 | 0:10:21 | |
continue operation.
So it's as simple as that. | 0:10:21 | 0:10:28 | |
And this is all high stakes
that I think all of us | 0:10:28 | 0:10:30 | |
need to keep in mind. | 0:10:30 | 0:10:33 | |
Well, the UK government
plans to leave the EU single | 0:10:33 | 0:10:39 | |
market and the customs union -
the closest form of | 0:10:39 | 0:10:42 | |
cooperation between countries
anywhere in the world. | 0:10:42 | 0:10:43 | |
But we also know they want
to maintain frictionless trade - | 0:10:43 | 0:10:46 | |
no tariffs, no checks,
the minimum of bureaucracy. | 0:10:46 | 0:10:52 | |
The UK position is still being
negotiated in cabinet, | 0:10:52 | 0:11:00 | |
but it wants the freedom to diverge
from EU rules in certain areas - | 0:11:01 | 0:11:08 | |
agriculture is one obvious example,
foreign trade deals another. | 0:11:08 | 0:11:10 | |
It also says publicly that it wants
to finalise all negotiations | 0:11:10 | 0:11:16 | |
on the future before the UK
leaves the EU in March, 2019. | 0:11:16 | 0:11:24 | |
Now, the EU says that's not
realistic, there's not enough | 0:11:26 | 0:11:28 | |
time to sort it all out. | 0:11:28 | 0:11:30 | |
It wants a broad political
declaration finalised by October, | 0:11:30 | 0:11:32 | |
but says negotiations will have
to continue in a transition | 0:11:32 | 0:11:34 | |
period after Brexit. | 0:11:34 | 0:11:35 | |
As for divergence, well,
it's warned the UK repeatedly | 0:11:35 | 0:11:38 | |
that it can't expect to cherry pick
the best bits of the current | 0:11:38 | 0:11:41 | |
relationship without taking
on the common responsibilities. | 0:11:41 | 0:11:44 | |
So that's why there's now so much
pressure on the government to set | 0:11:44 | 0:11:47 | |
out more explicitly
what it wants to negotiate. | 0:11:47 | 0:11:50 | |
And don't forget, if you see
headlines proclaiming | 0:11:50 | 0:11:54 | |
'agreement reached',
that's just here in the UK. | 0:11:54 | 0:11:56 | |
You have to get the other 27
EU countries on board as well, | 0:11:56 | 0:12:00 | |
and they all have their own
interests, and that's one | 0:12:00 | 0:12:02 | |
of the reasons why this
is such a complex process. | 0:12:02 | 0:12:05 | |
Chris Morris there. | 0:12:05 | 0:12:09 | |
Human eggs have been grown
in a laboratory for the first time. | 0:12:09 | 0:12:12 | |
Scientists from Edinburgh University
removed egg cells from ovary tissue | 0:12:12 | 0:12:15 | |
at their earliest stage
of development, and grew them | 0:12:15 | 0:12:17 | |
to the point they were
ready for fertilisation. | 0:12:17 | 0:12:19 | |
James Gallagher explains. | 0:12:19 | 0:12:24 | |
In laboratories in Edinburgh,
scientists have grown human eggs. | 0:12:24 | 0:12:27 | |
They've taken the immature eggs
women are born with and transformed | 0:12:27 | 0:12:30 | |
them so they're ready
to be fertilised. | 0:12:30 | 0:12:34 | |
It's taken decades of work to copy
what happens inside women's ovaries. | 0:12:34 | 0:12:39 | |
We never imagined that we would
be getting these kind of results | 0:12:39 | 0:12:42 | |
using human tissue,
so it's a significant step. | 0:12:42 | 0:12:50 | |
But of course, the main objective
for us is to improve | 0:12:50 | 0:12:53 | |
and to determine the safety of these
techniques, so that they | 0:12:53 | 0:12:55 | |
could, in the future,
go into some kind of application. | 0:12:55 | 0:12:58 | |
It could be used to help young girls
with cancer as treatment can | 0:12:58 | 0:13:02 | |
damage their fertility.
So how might it work? | 0:13:02 | 0:13:04 | |
A girl diagnosed with cancer
would have a sample of her ovaries | 0:13:04 | 0:13:09 | |
frozen before cancer treatment. | 0:13:09 | 0:13:11 | |
Then later, as an adult,
the tissue would be defrosted, | 0:13:11 | 0:13:15 | |
an egg grown, fertilised
and then put in the womb. | 0:13:15 | 0:13:18 | |
There may even be other applications
in fertility treatment, | 0:13:18 | 0:13:22 | |
but only 10% of eggs
completed their journey to maturity, | 0:13:22 | 0:13:27 | |
and none were fertilised,
so it's still uncertain how | 0:13:27 | 0:13:29 | |
viable they are. | 0:13:29 | 0:13:31 | |
Experts say more research is needed
before it can be used clinically. | 0:13:31 | 0:13:35 | |
There's going to be quite a few more
years before this technique | 0:13:35 | 0:13:37 | |
can be used clinically. | 0:13:37 | 0:13:43 | |
The eggs that arrive from this
procedure would have to be made much | 0:13:43 | 0:13:49 | |
more efficiently at a high
success rate, it has | 0:13:49 | 0:13:51 | |
to be tested genetically,
they would have to be tested to see | 0:13:51 | 0:13:54 | |
if they fertilised normally
and developing to normal embryos. | 0:13:54 | 0:13:56 | |
So quite a few things to go through. | 0:13:56 | 0:13:58 | |
But the work marks
an important proof of principle. | 0:13:58 | 0:14:00 | |
It will also give researchers
the opportunity to explore | 0:14:00 | 0:14:02 | |
how human eggs develop,
much of which remains a mystery. | 0:14:02 | 0:14:04 | |
James Gallagher, BBC News. | 0:14:04 | 0:14:12 | |
Publishing group Trinity Mirror
has announced a deal | 0:14:14 | 0:14:16 | |
of nearly £127 million to buy

Our Media Correspondent
David Sillito is here. | 0:14:26 | 0:14:28 | |
What does it all mean, David? 50
years ago, this would have been | 0:14:28 | 0:14:30 | |
unthinkable, because these were the
two giants of Fleet Street, selling | 0:14:30 | 0:14:33 | |
somewhere between eight million and
9 million copies a day. Now, if you | 0:14:33 | 0:14:36 | |
add the two, they are selling less
than a million. You can see the | 0:14:36 | 0:14:40 | |
decline that has happened in the
newspaper world, and this is all | 0:14:40 | 0:14:43 | |
about how to deal with that decline.
The Trinity Mirror group can save | 0:14:43 | 0:14:52 | |
£20 million out of the costs and
ring a bit more profit out of it. | 0:14:52 | 0:14:56 | |
However, when you look at it, this
is about that resting decline. It | 0:14:56 | 0:15:01 | |
does not address the basic problem,
it does not come up to the solution | 0:15:01 | 0:15:06 | |
that everyone is looking for, which
is, how do you make newspaper in a | 0:15:06 | 0:15:09 | |
time when people can get it for free
on their phones? David, thank you. | 0:15:09 | 0:15:15 | |

Riyad Mahrez's feud with
Leicester City looks to be over - | 0:15:36 | 0:15:38 | |
he's set to train with his
team-mates today, for the first time | 0:15:38 | 0:15:42 | |
since a move to Manchester City
fell through last month. | 0:15:42 | 0:15:50 | |
The 23rd Winter Olympics have
officially opened in South Korea - | 0:15:54 | 0:15:57 | |
and they're likely to the coldest
in history, with temperatures | 0:15:57 | 0:16:01 | |
of minus 25 degrees celcius. | 0:16:01 | 0:16:04 | |
In a mark of unity, North
and South Korean athletes | 0:16:04 | 0:16:07 | |
entered the stadium -
to loud cheers - as one team. | 0:16:07 | 0:16:10 | |
For 17 days, more than 3,000
of the world's best athletes | 0:16:10 | 0:16:14 | |
will compete in venues
across the country, in more | 0:16:14 | 0:16:17 | |
than a hundred medal events. | 0:16:17 | 0:16:18 | |
Team GB is aiming for its most
successful Winter Games yet. | 0:16:18 | 0:16:21 | |
Andy Swiss sent this report. | 0:16:21 | 0:16:29 | |
Opening ceremonies are always a
spectacle, but few have seemed quite | 0:16:35 | 0:16:39 | |
so significant. On a freezing night,
though thankfully not as cold as it | 0:16:39 | 0:16:43 | |
has been, Pyeongchang welcomed the
world. The theme of the ceremony was | 0:16:43 | 0:16:48 | |
a relevant one. Peace and harmony
seen through the eyes of five | 0:16:48 | 0:16:53 | |
children exploring a winter
landscape. A celebration of the | 0:16:53 | 0:16:57 | |
nation's culture. There was more
drama offstage. These games have | 0:16:57 | 0:17:01 | |
prompted a rapprochement between
North and South Korea. The South | 0:17:01 | 0:17:09 | |
Korean president shaking hands with
the sister of Kim Jong-un. US book | 0:17:09 | 0:17:13 | |
by -- vice president Mike Pence
looking on. Even just a few weeks | 0:17:13 | 0:17:18 | |
ago, utterly unthinkable. It was
soon time for the athletes to make | 0:17:18 | 0:17:21 | |
their entry. Team GB, leading by
their only gold medallist from the | 0:17:21 | 0:17:27 | |
last games, Lizzy Yarnold, they
certainly enjoyed the moment. It is | 0:17:27 | 0:17:30 | |
the biggest Brit -- British Winter
Olympic team ever and they are | 0:17:30 | 0:17:35 | |
targeting their best ever
performance -- performance. And then | 0:17:35 | 0:17:40 | |
entering under a neutral flag,
Olympic athletes from Russia. Their | 0:17:40 | 0:17:43 | |
presence here highly contentious. No
Russian collars because Russia is | 0:17:43 | 0:17:49 | |
banned from these games after their
recent doping scandal and yet some | 0:17:49 | 0:17:53 | |
168 of their athletes have been
allowed to compete as neutrals. And | 0:17:53 | 0:17:59 | |
only Olympic medal for bravery
surely goes to tongue's flag bearer. | 0:17:59 | 0:18:05 | |
What freezing temperatures? But
finally, historically, the moment | 0:18:05 | 0:18:10 | |
they had all been waiting for. Under
a flag representing their peninsula, | 0:18:10 | 0:18:15 | |
North and South Korea parading as
one. Joint flag-bearers from each | 0:18:15 | 0:18:20 | |
country, the sudden thawing of
tensions expressed a remarkable of | 0:18:20 | 0:18:24 | |
unity. More handshakes between the
north and South Korean delegations | 0:18:24 | 0:18:28 | |
and high emotion in the stadium. The
ceremony continued with its theme of | 0:18:28 | 0:18:34 | |
harmony, a spectacle of sound and
light, before the Olympic president | 0:18:34 | 0:18:38 | |
paid tribute to the show of unity
between North and South Korea. | 0:18:38 | 0:18:42 | |
In sport we are all equal. This is
how you show the unique power of | 0:18:42 | 0:18:50 | |
sport to unite people. A great
example of this unifying power is | 0:18:50 | 0:18:58 | |
the joint marcher tonight of the two
teams from the National Olympic | 0:18:58 | 0:19:04 | |
committees of the Republic of Korea
and the Democratic People's Republic | 0:19:04 | 0:19:08 | |
of Korea. We thank you. We are all
touched by this wonderful gesture. | 0:19:08 | 0:19:19 | |
We all join and support you in your
message of peace. And it was soon | 0:19:19 | 0:19:27 | |
left to the South Korean president
to officially open the games. | 0:19:27 | 0:19:37 | |
There was no doubting the sentiment
-- sentiment of the night. Peace | 0:19:37 | 0:19:43 | |
illuminating the stadium before a
fitting climax. Two Ice Hockey | 0:19:43 | 0:19:49 | |
players, one from the north and one
from the south, took the Olympic | 0:19:49 | 0:19:52 | |
torch on its final journey and the
lighting of the cauldron. And so | 0:19:52 | 0:19:56 | |
even before the sport these games
have produced some indelible images. | 0:19:56 | 0:20:01 | |
A memorable day for the Olympics, an
historic one for Korea. | 0:20:01 | 0:20:06 | |
In a moment we'll speak
to Andy Swiss, who's in Pyeongchang. | 0:20:06 | 0:20:09 | |
But first to Stephen McDonell,
who's at the Olympic Stadium. | 0:20:09 | 0:20:16 | |
Politically quite a moment?
Absolutely remarkable. We would not | 0:20:16 | 0:20:24 | |
have expected anything like this
just a few months ago. There was | 0:20:24 | 0:20:27 | |
virtually no communication between
the two Korea. And here they are | 0:20:27 | 0:20:35 | |
marching together. I guess it is
part of the spirit of the Olympics | 0:20:35 | 0:20:38 | |
that you can achieve things like
this and it is hard to be cynical | 0:20:38 | 0:20:41 | |
about it when you see them coming in
together and that stadium full of | 0:20:41 | 0:20:45 | |
people cheering. One of the images
people will remember is that of US | 0:20:45 | 0:20:50 | |
vice president Mike Pence sitting in
one row of chairs, and just behind | 0:20:50 | 0:20:55 | |
him, the sister of the North Korean
leader within handshake distance. On | 0:20:55 | 0:21:02 | |
the one hand we got the Americans
trying to discourage South Korea | 0:21:02 | 0:21:06 | |
from rewarding the north too much at
these games. And yet it does seem | 0:21:06 | 0:21:12 | |
that the spirit of communication is
winning out over the message of | 0:21:12 | 0:21:19 | |
trying to keep the North Koreans
more isolated. | 0:21:19 | 0:21:23 | |
And Andy, how do you rate Team GB's
chances? Jane, there are high hopes. | 0:21:23 | 0:21:29 | |
They are targeting their best Winter
Olympics ever, between four and ten | 0:21:29 | 0:21:35 | |
medals. They haven't got off to a
great start. Snowboarder Katie | 0:21:35 | 0:21:39 | |
Ormerod is already out of the games
after fracturing her heel during | 0:21:39 | 0:21:44 | |
training yesterday. It was a nasty
fracture. She has had to have | 0:21:44 | 0:21:49 | |
emergency surgery. Plenty of other
medal hopes still to come, including | 0:21:49 | 0:21:53 | |
speed skater Elise Christie. She
competed in Satty four years ago. | 0:21:53 | 0:21:57 | |
She crushed out of all three of
events, she received death threats, | 0:21:57 | 0:22:02 | |
she thought about quitting. She is
back as a triple world champion and | 0:22:02 | 0:22:05 | |
has an excellent chance of winning a
gold medal. The other talking point, | 0:22:05 | 0:22:10 | |
the temperatures. It has been milder
today. But temperatures forecast to | 0:22:10 | 0:22:14 | |
plummet at the end of the weekend,
down to -15, perhaps -30 with wind | 0:22:14 | 0:22:20 | |
chill. It is shaping up to be one of
the coldest Winter Olympics in | 0:22:20 | 0:22:24 | |
history.
Wrap up! Thank you. | 0:22:24 | 0:22:28 | |
Police in Canada have found
the remains of at least six people | 0:22:28 | 0:22:31 | |
in the grounds of a house linked
to an alleged serial killer. | 0:22:31 | 0:22:34 | |
Bruce McArthur was arrested
last month, and charged | 0:22:34 | 0:22:37 | |
with murdering five men.
Charlotte Gallagher reports. | 0:22:37 | 0:22:41 | |
Police in Toronto have called this
investigation unprecedented. | 0:22:41 | 0:22:45 | |
Detectives have now found
the remains of at least six people | 0:22:45 | 0:22:50 | |
hidden in large plant pots
in a suburban home where the suspect | 0:22:50 | 0:22:53 | |
carried out landscape gardening. | 0:22:53 | 0:22:57 | |
This man, 66-year-old
Bruce McArthur, has been charged | 0:22:57 | 0:22:59 | |
with the murders of five men,
and detectives | 0:22:59 | 0:23:03 | |
believe more charges may follow. | 0:23:03 | 0:23:07 | |
Forensic teams are now
searching 30 properties, | 0:23:07 | 0:23:10 | |
battling the plummeting temperatures
to dig through the frozen ground. | 0:23:10 | 0:23:16 | |
Officers are now examining
Bruce McArthur's computer | 0:23:16 | 0:23:19 | |
and mobile phone, and are
investigating a possible link | 0:23:19 | 0:23:23 | |
between gay dating
apps and the murders. | 0:23:23 | 0:23:26 | |
There is an extensive digital
investigation going on. | 0:23:26 | 0:23:28 | |
We're going through computers, we're
going through cellphones, we're | 0:23:28 | 0:23:30 | |
going through online
applications and different apps. | 0:23:30 | 0:23:36 | |
We're preparing warrants,
and have prepared warrants | 0:23:36 | 0:23:39 | |
on different providers. | 0:23:39 | 0:23:42 | |
So that is a very big part of this
investigation as well. | 0:23:42 | 0:23:47 | |
In December, police tried to calm
community concern that | 0:23:47 | 0:23:51 | |
there was a serial killer stalking
the area, following a handful of | 0:23:51 | 0:23:54 | |
disappearances in the Gay Village. | 0:23:54 | 0:23:58 | |
Now officers are in the midst
of a huge investigation that spans | 0:23:58 | 0:24:02 | |
across Canada's largest city. | 0:24:02 | 0:24:05 | |
The authorities are reviewing
hundreds of missing persons cases | 0:24:05 | 0:24:07 | |
dating back to at least 2010,
amid fears the number | 0:24:07 | 0:24:10 | |
of victims may rise. | 0:24:10 | 0:24:12 | |

The second round of rugby's
Six Nations gets under way this | 0:24:19 | 0:24:22 | |
weekend, and England head coach
Eddie Jones has ramped up | 0:24:22 | 0:24:25 | |
the mind games ahead
of their meeting with Wales. | 0:24:25 | 0:24:28 | |
Joe Wilson reports. | 0:24:28 | 0:24:36 | |
Build them up, knock them down. It
happens in all sports | 0:24:36 | 0:24:40 | |
metaphorically. In rugby it often
occurs literally. England's coach | 0:24:40 | 0:24:45 | |
spotted something in Cardiff last
weekend. The new look Welsh team | 0:24:45 | 0:24:49 | |
excelled, beating Scotland, led by a
young fly-half, Rhys Patchell, on | 0:24:49 | 0:24:53 | |
his Six Nations debut. It will be
different against England, say | 0:24:53 | 0:24:57 | |
England. It is a massive step up. He
hasn't played much test rugby at | 0:24:57 | 0:25:03 | |
all. He is a young guy, hasn't got
great experienced players around | 0:25:03 | 0:25:07 | |
him. The pressure on him will be
enormous. It is whether he has got | 0:25:07 | 0:25:11 | |
the bottle to handle it. I've just
been asking another Jones about | 0:25:11 | 0:25:15 | |
those comments. The Welsh captain.
It is a little bit insulting when | 0:25:15 | 0:25:20 | |
the coach questions the mental
approach, the bottle of arrival? Not | 0:25:20 | 0:25:24 | |
at all. That is what you're made of,
an element of how much experience | 0:25:24 | 0:25:30 | |
you have haven't got. Those
questions are going to be asked | 0:25:30 | 0:25:34 | |
whether by your wrong camp or
another. You need to answer those. | 0:25:34 | 0:25:37 | |
That is the pressure that is
professional sport. Rebuilding at | 0:25:37 | 0:25:43 | |
Twickenham is Rix, mortar and medal,
as you can see from the stadium. | 0:25:43 | 0:25:46 | |
That just requires money. Rebuilding
a team in the Six Nations, that is a | 0:25:46 | 0:25:51 | |
lot more difficult. Scotland, the
blues, so crestfallen in Cardiff | 0:25:51 | 0:25:57 | |
they have broadened their most
experienced players to play France. | 0:25:57 | 0:26:01 | |
Can't let another match slip by
them. England ran in seven tries | 0:26:01 | 0:26:07 | |
against Italy last weekend. It will
be different against Wales. Both | 0:26:07 | 0:26:11 | |
teams can agree upon that. Eddie
Jones' interventions are usually | 0:26:11 | 0:26:16 | |
designed to make an impact. So who
has got the bottle? | 0:26:16 | 0:26:20 | |
Joe Wilson, BBC News. | 0:26:20 | 0:26:21 | |
Dippy, the lifesize
cast of a diplodocus | 0:26:21 | 0:26:23 | |
skeleton is on tour -
he left London's Natural History | 0:26:23 | 0:26:25 | |
Museum last year, and was replaced
with a huge blue whale. | 0:26:25 | 0:26:31 | |
Now he's made it to
the Jurassic Coast - | 0:26:31 | 0:26:35 | |
well, the Dorset County Museum.
Duncan Kennedy is there. | 0:26:35 | 0:26:43 | |
Yes, here he is. What an incredible
site Dippy makes. This is the first | 0:26:45 | 0:26:52 | |
time in 113 years that he has been
seen outside London. For the past | 0:26:52 | 0:26:56 | |
year he has been undergoing some
conservation and repair work. Now | 0:26:56 | 0:27:00 | |
here in Dorchester, it is the first
leg of his nationwide tour. | 0:27:00 | 0:27:03 | |
It's taken about 150
million years... | 0:27:03 | 0:27:06 | |
Dippy is here! | 0:27:06 | 0:27:07 | |
I think we're in business now. | 0:27:07 | 0:27:09 | |
..and five days to bring Dippy
the dinosaur to Dorset. | 0:27:09 | 0:27:16 | |
OK, Dippy's 292 bones may be made
out of plaster, but this iconic | 0:27:21 | 0:27:28 | |
replica of the real diplodocus
is still palaeontology perfection. | 0:27:28 | 0:27:32 | |
Right up to his head. | 0:27:32 | 0:27:35 | |
Touch and go whether it
was going to fit in. | 0:27:35 | 0:27:38 | |
But it's absolutely perfect,
so I'm very happy. | 0:27:38 | 0:27:40 | |
How much does it weigh altogether? | 0:27:40 | 0:27:43 | |
Lorraine Cornish from
the Natural History Museum has led a | 0:27:43 | 0:27:48 | |
team of seven technicians
with the delicate job | 0:27:48 | 0:27:50 | |
of moving two-tonne Dippy
to Dorchester's County Museum. | 0:27:50 | 0:27:54 | |
I think Dippy is the
people's dinosaur. | 0:27:54 | 0:27:55 | |
A lot of people came
to see Dippy in London. | 0:27:55 | 0:27:58 | |
Fond memories of children,
perhaps bringing their own children. | 0:27:58 | 0:28:01 | |
And it tells great stories.
It really inspires people. | 0:28:01 | 0:28:06 | |
And the first of those children
were certainly wowed today. | 0:28:06 | 0:28:11 | |
What is the best bit about it? | 0:28:11 | 0:28:14 | |
Its tail because it can
whack people around. | 0:28:14 | 0:28:17 | |
What is so great about Dippy? | 0:28:17 | 0:28:21 | |
That he's ginormous. | 0:28:21 | 0:28:23 | |
It's massive, isn't it? | 0:28:23 | 0:28:25 | |
Dippy first appeared
at London's Natural History Museum | 0:28:25 | 0:28:28 | |
in 1905, and cost £2000. | 0:28:28 | 0:28:32 | |
But the museum decided it was time
for a change, and is | 0:28:32 | 0:28:36 | |
sending Dippy on a nationwide tour,
requiring a massive job of | 0:28:36 | 0:28:40 | |
reassembly in seven
destinations around Britain. | 0:28:40 | 0:28:44 | |
In fact, now that Dippy has
been put together, they | 0:28:44 | 0:28:46 | |
think that here in Dorchester alone
something like 70,000 people will | 0:28:46 | 0:28:49 | |
come to see him. | 0:28:49 | 0:28:50 | |
After that, he heads off
to the Midlands, to Wales, | 0:28:50 | 0:28:55 | |
to Scotland, on a grand
tour of the UK. | 0:28:55 | 0:28:58 | |
They think that over the course
of the next three years, something | 0:28:58 | 0:29:03 | |
like five million people will engage
with this incredible project. | 0:29:03 | 0:29:06 | |
And where better for
Dippy's first stop | 0:29:06 | 0:29:08 | |
than Dorset's Jurassic Coast. | 0:29:08 | 0:29:11 | |
If Dippy was going to
choose to go somewhere, | 0:29:11 | 0:29:14 | |
he would probably choose to come to
the Jurassic Coast, to find out all | 0:29:14 | 0:29:17 | |
about the fossils and all the other
creatures that were living in what | 0:29:17 | 0:29:20 | |
is now the British Isles around
the time that he was roaming | 0:29:20 | 0:29:23 | |
what is now Wyoming in America. | 0:29:23 | 0:29:26 | |
Wherever Dippy goes,
it will be free to see him - a | 0:29:26 | 0:29:29 | |
chance for older visitors
to relive childhood memories, | 0:29:29 | 0:29:31 | |
and for younger ones to create
some new ones. | 0:29:31 | 0:29:39 | |
To give you an idea of just how
popular Dippy is, if you are a | 0:29:41 | 0:29:46 | |
school in this area, forget about
coming. He is all built up until | 0:29:46 | 0:29:51 | |
May. There are still some individual
tickets. It goes to show how much | 0:29:51 | 0:29:56 | |
affection we still have for this
incredible dinosaur. | 0:29:56 | 0:29:58 | |
Fantastic! Duncan Kennedy in
Dorchester. | 0:29:58 | 0:30:03 | |
The Eiffel Tower in Paris has been
closed for the second time this | 0:30:03 | 0:30:06 | |
week, because of
snow and black ice. | 0:30:06 | 0:30:08 | |
The organisation that runs
the tower says de-icing | 0:30:08 | 0:30:11 | |
it is a complex procedure,
because salt is corrosive, | 0:30:11 | 0:30:13 | |
and sand could damage

The tower, which attracts
six million visitors a year, | 0:30:16 | 0:30:19 | |
will be closed today and tomorrow. | 0:30:19 | 0:30:22 | |

Hello. We have had some snow this
morning. We had snow in the far | 0:30:29 | 0:30:33 | |
north and west. This was through the
night. Heavy rain cleared from the | 0:30:33 | 0:30:39 | |
south-east and colder air pushed in.
Plenty of snow showers falling in | 0:30:39 | 0:30:43 | |
the north-west. That has brought a
West, East split. Eastern areas have | 0:30:43 | 0:30:49 | |
been great. Further west, beautiful
blue skies and sunshine. Any showers | 0:30:49 | 0:30:55 | |
that you have had have been wintry.
A light dusting of snow. As we go | 0:30:55 | 0:31:00 | |
through the rest of the afternoon,
the rain is certainly going to ease | 0:31:00 | 0:31:04 | |
from that south-east corner. We
continue to see sunny spells. It | 0:31:04 | 0:31:08 | |
will not be very warm. Highest
values of around five to 7 degrees. | 0:31:08 | 0:31:13 | |
A brisk north-westerly wind will
make it feel cool. As we go through | 0:31:13 | 0:31:18 | |
the evening, rain arrives to the
West. A real West, East divide. As | 0:31:18 | 0:31:23 | |
it bombs into the colder air in
Scotland and Northern Ireland, a | 0:31:23 | 0:31:27 | |
spell of snow. Here and in sheltered
eastern areas is where we will see | 0:31:27 | 0:31:31 | |
the lowest values. The blue tones
suggesting temperatures will be | 0:31:31 | 0:31:34 | |
below freezing first thing tomorrow.
The snow could be an issue early on | 0:31:34 | 0:31:40 | |
Saturday. Between five and ten
centimetres. There will be icy | 0:31:40 | 0:31:44 | |
stretches with a combination of rain
and snow moving into the East. Snow | 0:31:44 | 0:31:48 | |
showers across the Lake District.
Rain through Wales and South West | 0:31:48 | 0:31:51 | |
England. That will push steadily
east. For many across England and | 0:31:51 | 0:31:57 | |
Wales it is not shaping up to be a
great Saturday afternoon. Conditions | 0:31:57 | 0:32:01 | |
will improve through Scotland. Some
brightness. Temperatures between six | 0:32:01 | 0:32:07 | |
and 11 degrees. Double digits in the
south-west. With the cloud and rain | 0:32:07 | 0:32:10 | |
it will feel miserable. Now I
understand there are some important | 0:32:10 | 0:32:15 | |
rugby matches taking place over the
weekend. A lot of rain around on | 0:32:15 | 0:32:19 | |
Saturday. The winds will be a
feature as well into Ireland. But | 0:32:19 | 0:32:23 | |
once we have got rid of that rain
and we move into Sunday, during the | 0:32:23 | 0:32:29 | |
early hours we could see severe
gales on the southern flank as it | 0:32:29 | 0:32:32 | |
pulls away. And behind, Winter
proper perhaps on Sunday. All these | 0:32:32 | 0:32:38 | |
showers will be falling as snow
across north-west Scotland, Northern | 0:32:38 | 0:32:42 | |
Ireland, north-west England.
Sheltered eastern areas will see the | 0:32:42 | 0:32:46 | |
best of the sunshine and a drier
day. It will be a bitterly cold | 0:32:46 | 0:32:51 | |
Sunday from any. Top temperatures of
around four to 8 degrees. Plenty of | 0:32:51 | 0:32:55 | |
whether to look out for. I will have
more details on afternoon light. | 0:32:55 | 0:33:00 | |
Thanks. | 0:33:00 | 0:33:02 | |
more details on afternoon light.
Thanks. | 0:33:02 | 0:33:02 | |
A reminder of our main
story this lunchtime. | 0:33:02 | 0:33:07 | |
Two British jihadis captured in
Syria have been accused of murdering | 0:33:08 | 0:33:10 | |
more than 20 prisoners. | 0:33:10 | 0:33:12 | |
That's all from the BBC News at One
, so it's goodbye from me - | 0:33:12 | 0:33:15 |
