0:00:06 > 0:00:09Boris Johnson says Brexit is an opportunity for Britain -
0:00:09 > 0:00:13and not something to be feared.
0:00:13 > 0:00:16In a major speech before the next round of negotiations,
0:00:16 > 0:00:18the Foreign Secretary was trying to reassure those who are
0:00:18 > 0:00:22anxious about Brexit.
0:00:22 > 0:00:27Brexit need not be nationalist but can be internationalist.
0:00:27 > 0:00:29It's not an economic threat, but a considerable opportunity.
0:00:29 > 0:00:31Not un-British, but a manifestation of this country's
0:00:31 > 0:00:35historic national genius.
0:00:35 > 0:00:38We'll have the latest reaction from Brussels and Westminster.
0:00:38 > 0:00:41Also this lunchtime:
0:00:41 > 0:00:43Minnie Driver quits as a Ambassador for Oxfam, as the Government says
0:00:43 > 0:00:51all charities must have proper safeguarding policies.
0:00:53 > 0:00:57Jacob Zuma says that is no reason for him to resign as President of
0:00:57 > 0:01:03South Africa, despite the ANC saying he must go.
0:01:03 > 0:01:05There's a pervasive lack of trust among disabled people
0:01:05 > 0:01:07about how their welfare claims are assessed - according
0:01:07 > 0:01:08to a parliamentary committee.
0:01:08 > 0:01:10She didn't give me a physical assessment.
0:01:10 > 0:01:12I was sat down the entire time.
0:01:12 > 0:01:13I was very...
0:01:13 > 0:01:20very cross about that.
0:01:20 > 0:01:24And at the Winter Olympics, Team GB's curling teams get off to a
0:01:24 > 0:01:27flying start as they launched their medal campaigns.
0:01:27 > 0:01:29flying start as they launched their medal campaigns.
0:01:29 > 0:01:33And coming up in the sports on BBC News: Liverpool are hoping to follow
0:01:33 > 0:01:35the lead of Manchester City and Spurs in the Champions League
0:01:35 > 0:01:38tonight, when they play Porto in the last 16.
0:01:56 > 0:01:59Good afternoon and welcome to the BBC News at One.
0:01:59 > 0:02:01The Foreign Secretary has said Britain's departure
0:02:01 > 0:02:06from the EU is an opportunity, not something to be feared,
0:02:06 > 0:02:09and that the decision to leave cannot be reversed.
0:02:09 > 0:02:12In the first of a series of speeches by government ministers in advance
0:02:12 > 0:02:15of key talks with EU negotiators next month, Boris Johnson said
0:02:15 > 0:02:18Brexit will mean Britain will stop paying huge sums to Brussels,
0:02:18 > 0:02:24and will take back control of its borders and laws.
0:02:24 > 0:02:32Our political correspondent, Leila Nathoo, reports from Westminster.
0:02:33 > 0:02:37A not so funny welcome party to greet Boris Johnson as he arrived to
0:02:37 > 0:02:41deliver a speech this morning. The very people he wants to reach out
0:02:41 > 0:02:47to, there is still against Britain's departure from the EU. His message,
0:02:47 > 0:02:50Brexit cannot be stopped. And understand your ease, but there is
0:02:50 > 0:02:55nothing to fear.Brexit need not be Nationalists, but can be
0:02:55 > 0:02:59internationalist. It is not an economic threat, but a considerable
0:02:59 > 0:03:04opportunity. Not un-British but a manifestation of this country's
0:03:04 > 0:03:09historic national genius. ICI run the risk in making this case of
0:03:09 > 0:03:14causing further irritation. But I must run that risk.Boris Johnson
0:03:14 > 0:03:17return to familiar themes of the Leave side of the referendum
0:03:17 > 0:03:22campaign, taping back control of laws and embracing the world beyond
0:03:22 > 0:03:26Europe.Brexit is about we engage in this country with its global
0:03:26 > 0:03:29identity, and the energy that can flow from that and I absolutely
0:03:29 > 0:03:40refuse to accept it is a un-British spasm of bad manners. It is not a
0:03:40 > 0:03:43sign from the cliffs of Dover, it is a legitimate and natural desire for
0:03:43 > 0:03:48self government of the people, by the people, for the people.It is
0:03:48 > 0:03:50the first in a series of speeches in the coming weeks in which senior
0:03:50 > 0:03:53ministers will set out what Downing Street is calling a road map to
0:03:53 > 0:03:59Brexit. Theresa May will address security and other Cabinet ministers
0:03:59 > 0:04:03will cover the devolution of powers reclaimed from Brussels,
0:04:03 > 0:04:05international trade and workers' rights. The comet has been under
0:04:05 > 0:04:10pressure to settle on a position and offer more detail about what Britain
0:04:10 > 0:04:13wants its relationship with the EU to look like after Brexit. Boris
0:04:13 > 0:04:17Johnson's speech today was heavy on rhetoric but did not go far enough
0:04:17 > 0:04:22for his critics.This was a big exercise in hypocrisy frankly from
0:04:22 > 0:04:26the Foreign Secretary. First of all, he made and commit about taking back
0:04:26 > 0:04:30control. Of course, the Parliament on behalf of the people. But every
0:04:30 > 0:04:34step of the way during these Brexit negotiations, he and his government
0:04:34 > 0:04:36have withheld information from Parliament and the people and the
0:04:36 > 0:04:40impact of Brexit.We now have to accept the fact we have had the
0:04:40 > 0:04:44referendum, we are not having a second, we are not part of the
0:04:44 > 0:04:52single market of the customs union but we are taking back
0:04:52 > 0:04:56but we are taking back control.The Government hopes the hill divides
0:04:56 > 0:04:59and look to the future but ministers are fast approaching the point where
0:04:59 > 0:05:06they must collectively declare what that looks like -- the Government is
0:05:06 > 0:05:07hoping to heal divides.
0:05:07 > 0:05:10In a moment, we'll get reaction from Adam Fleming, in Brussels.
0:05:10 > 0:05:12But first, to our assistant political editor, Norman Smith,
0:05:12 > 0:05:13who's in Westminster.
0:05:13 > 0:05:18What do we make of it, what the people make about where you are?
0:05:18 > 0:05:24Boris Johnson said an ambitious aim of trying to reach out and reassure
0:05:24 > 0:05:30former Remainers and praising many for what he called their noble views
0:05:30 > 0:05:34and the sceptical Europeans, saying that the Brexit is not a peace sign
0:05:34 > 0:05:40from the white cliffs of Dover. But at times, it sounded as if we were
0:05:40 > 0:05:45back in the blood and gore of the Brexit trenches, back in the
0:05:45 > 0:05:51referendum campaign. And that served to highlight how divisive the Brexit
0:05:51 > 0:05:55issue was and raises the question about whether opinion really has
0:05:55 > 0:06:00moved on or whether we do still remain a fundamentally divided
0:06:00 > 0:06:05nation when it comes to Brexit. And in that context, whether Boris
0:06:05 > 0:06:11Johnson was the relay that message of reassurance. Because for many
0:06:11 > 0:06:17Remainers, he is the bogeyman of Brexit, a man loathed by many
0:06:17 > 0:06:21Remainers for his approach and some of his claims during that campaign.
0:06:21 > 0:06:26It is also quite a long time to leave it before trying to reach out
0:06:26 > 0:06:30to reassure people. More than 20 months since the campaign. And in
0:06:30 > 0:06:36terms of detail, there was not much in the speech. Looking for Remainers
0:06:36 > 0:06:39the clasp on to. I am left with the thought that the person he will be
0:06:39 > 0:06:44most reassured by the speech is Theresa May in Downing Street
0:06:44 > 0:06:49because what we did not get today was Boris Johnson off piste. Slalom
0:06:49 > 0:06:55and away on his own version of Brexit. When he was pressed today
0:06:55 > 0:06:59about what sort of deal we should get committee repeatedly and loyally
0:06:59 > 0:07:04stopped, referring back to previous speeches by the Prime Minister. So I
0:07:04 > 0:07:10think Theresa May will be pleased. As for former Remainers, the initial
0:07:10 > 0:07:16reaction has hardly been very sympathetic.Thank you.
0:07:16 > 0:07:18Adam Fleming is in Brussels.
0:07:18 > 0:07:26Boris Johnson's wasn't the only speech this morning about the EU.
0:07:26 > 0:07:29Yes, Jean-Claude Juncker, the President of the European
0:07:29 > 0:07:32Commission, the organisation that runs the Brexit talks on their side
0:07:32 > 0:07:35day-to-day, was doing a news conference today. He was in a jolly
0:07:35 > 0:07:41mood, as he often is, making jokes about what EU leaders order for
0:07:41 > 0:07:45their coffee during the summit. But his mood change when a journalist
0:07:45 > 0:07:50asked about this allegation from Boris Johnson that he was all about
0:07:50 > 0:07:55building an EU superstate. Look at this.
0:07:55 > 0:07:58Some in the British political society are against the truth,
0:07:58 > 0:08:01pretending that I'm a stupid, stubborn Federalist, that I'm
0:08:01 > 0:08:03in favour of a European superstate.
0:08:03 > 0:08:05I'm strictly against a European superstate.
0:08:05 > 0:08:10We are not the United States of America.
0:08:10 > 0:08:14We are the European Union, which is a rich body
0:08:14 > 0:08:17because we have these 27, 28 nations.
0:08:17 > 0:08:19The European Union cannot be built against the European nations.
0:08:19 > 0:08:27So, this is total nonsense.
0:08:28 > 0:08:32Jean-Claude Juncker then went on to say, to unveil plans about reforming
0:08:32 > 0:08:38the EU, it involved and potentially a bigger budget and is directly
0:08:38 > 0:08:41elected President. So some would say he went on to make Boris Johnson's
0:08:41 > 0:08:45point, because that does sound like something on the road to a EU
0:08:45 > 0:08:49superstate. In terms of how the speech has gone down here, people in
0:08:49 > 0:08:52these offices here were listening and they will read later this
0:08:52 > 0:08:56afternoon. But the fact is, it does not make a huge difference to the
0:08:56 > 0:09:00negotiations at the moment. They are waiting for a formal British
0:09:00 > 0:09:03position on the attitude to their future relationship with the EU
0:09:03 > 0:09:07after Brexit and that will come from the Prime Minister and not Boris
0:09:07 > 0:09:12Johnson.Thank you.
0:09:12 > 0:09:15The actor Minnie Driver has resigned as an Ambassador for Oxfam,
0:09:15 > 0:09:19saying she's horrified by the sex scandal claims at the charity.
0:09:19 > 0:09:22It comes as Oxfam's regional director in Asia has told the BBC
0:09:22 > 0:09:24she is aware of past abuse cases involving the charity's
0:09:24 > 0:09:28workers in the Philippines, Bangladesh and Nepal.
0:09:28 > 0:09:34Matt Cole reports.
0:09:34 > 0:09:40What happens in Haiti? That is the focus of the Charity Commission
0:09:40 > 0:09:44enquiry which holds its first meeting with Oxfam today. But now a
0:09:44 > 0:09:48senior figure in the charity says had been largely unreported cases in
0:09:48 > 0:09:51other countries as well.There were cases in the Philippines. There were
0:09:51 > 0:09:57also cases in Bangladesh. There will be slow as coming forward in
0:09:57 > 0:10:03Bangladesh. As far as I know. -- there were whistle-blowers coming
0:10:03 > 0:10:09forward. There was also a case in Nepal.It was after the 2013 super
0:10:09 > 0:10:13typhoon Yolande in the Philippines that some cases took place but then
0:10:13 > 0:10:17and now, the questions about perpetrators being flagged to other
0:10:17 > 0:10:24agencies.Not yet, but that is a practice we need to start because
0:10:24 > 0:10:28the funny thing about cases like this is, we always see them as
0:10:28 > 0:10:33reputational risks. But the way to manage reputational risk is not to
0:10:33 > 0:10:39keep silent.A sector wide problem, then. In matter on which the
0:10:39 > 0:10:41International Development Secretary has today been talking.No
0:10:41 > 0:10:48organisation is too big or our work with them to complex for me to
0:10:48 > 0:10:52hesitate to remove funding from them if we cannot trust them to put the
0:10:52 > 0:10:58beneficiaries of aid first.On the specific case of Oxfam, some
0:10:58 > 0:11:04supporters have already reacted. From Friday to Monday, 1270 people
0:11:04 > 0:11:07cancelled their direct debits, four times the normal daily cancellation
0:11:07 > 0:11:15rate. And on Monday, 70 81-off donations were made, a record how
0:11:15 > 0:11:20this year. And 44 new direct debit was set up, the most since March
0:11:20 > 0:11:25last year in one day. However, one celebrity supporter, actress Minnie
0:11:25 > 0:11:33Driver, has ended her Ambassador's role, saying...
0:11:39 > 0:11:42Oxfam's major corporate partners are taking a different approach.
0:11:42 > 0:11:47Waterstones has given a statement of support saying the charity's work is
0:11:47 > 0:11:51of great value. Marks & Spencer is as the co-operative bank and
0:11:51 > 0:11:54Heathrow Airport say they are taking the matter seriously but will
0:11:54 > 0:11:59monitor the situation for now. In the meantime, the international
0:11:59 > 0:12:02developers secretary Penny Mordaunt says as part of her push for a
0:12:02 > 0:12:08sector wide culture change, she will hold talks tomorrow with the
0:12:08 > 0:12:10National Crime Agency and all eyes will turn to Friday by when Oxfam
0:12:10 > 0:12:14has been told it must provide answers about future safeguarding
0:12:14 > 0:12:16policies.
0:12:16 > 0:12:17South Africa's President, Jacob Zuma, says efforts
0:12:17 > 0:12:25by the country's governing ANC to oust him from power are unfair.
0:12:26 > 0:12:29The party has threatened Mr Zuma with a parliamentary motion of no
0:12:29 > 0:12:31confidence tomorrow, if he refuses to step down today.
0:12:31 > 0:12:32Earlier, police raided properties belonging
0:12:32 > 0:12:35to the wealthy Gupta family, who are close to Mr Zuma,
0:12:35 > 0:12:39and three people were arrested.
0:12:39 > 0:12:44The party has threatened Mr Zuma with a parliamentary motion of no
0:12:44 > 0:12:48Milton Nkosi is in Johannesburg.
0:12:48 > 0:12:50The ANC have been urging him to go for
0:12:50 > 0:12:56a long time, what is going on?Yes, President Zuma is digging in his
0:12:56 > 0:13:02heels. He gave an interview to the local public broadcaster and he is
0:13:02 > 0:13:08explaining that he has been victimised and he has never defied
0:13:08 > 0:13:13the organisation. But at the same time, he said he will give a
0:13:13 > 0:13:18statement later today.
0:13:18 > 0:13:20statement later today. President Jacob Zuma's days are numbered,
0:13:20 > 0:13:27literally. His governing African National Congress wants new party
0:13:27 > 0:13:30had Cyril Ramaphosa sworn in as President within the next couple of
0:13:30 > 0:13:35days. But in a statement earlier, he said attempts to unseat him were
0:13:35 > 0:13:45unfair.People are saying is Uma must go. My problem is that it is
0:13:45 > 0:13:52not a new thing, it has been said the in higher year, including people
0:13:52 > 0:13:56saying this, they are all saying it. They themselves never provided a
0:13:56 > 0:14:02result.The net is also closing on President Zuma's friends. The
0:14:02 > 0:14:10controversial Gupta family. This morning, on the priority -- armed
0:14:10 > 0:14:14police known as the Hawks arrived in this Johannesburg suburb. Gupta
0:14:14 > 0:14:21family had been accused of using their friendship with President Zuma
0:14:21 > 0:14:25to wield enormous influence for their business interests. They and
0:14:25 > 0:14:28President Zuma denied the allegations. Local media reports say
0:14:28 > 0:14:34police have arrested three people including one of the Gupta brothers.
0:14:34 > 0:14:38And so the dilemma that President Jacob Zuma is basing of whether to
0:14:38 > 0:14:43resign or to defy his party is in part linked to what happened here
0:14:43 > 0:14:47this morning. This compound belongs to his family and friends in Guptas
0:14:47 > 0:14:52and the police have come here to rate them for corruption about
0:14:52 > 0:14:57allegations of dodgy government contracts. Among those who would be
0:14:57 > 0:15:00targeted by the police and the corruption scandal, known here as
0:15:00 > 0:15:11state capture, a Minister in Zuma's Cabinet and possibly President
0:15:11 > 0:15:17Zuma's son, seen here with two of the Guptas. 24 years after the end
0:15:17 > 0:15:22of apartheid, South Africa finds itself at a crossroads again. This
0:15:22 > 0:15:25time, with self-inflicted wounds by those who helped to liberate its
0:15:25 > 0:15:32people and white minority rule.
0:15:32 > 0:15:37And there you have it. But the ANC has today on the Parliament to call
0:15:37 > 0:15:45for a vote of no-confidence. They want Cyril Ramaphosa in within days
0:15:45 > 0:15:53so President Jacob Zuma's days are indeed numbered.Thank you.
0:15:53 > 0:15:55There is a 'pervasive lack of trust' among people with disabilities
0:15:55 > 0:15:57in how their welfare claims are assessed, according
0:15:57 > 0:16:00to the Commons Work and Pensions Committee, which says reports
0:16:00 > 0:16:07There is a 'pervasive lack of trust' among people with disabilities
0:16:07 > 0:16:09in how their welfare claims are assessed, according
0:16:09 > 0:16:11to the Commons Work and Pensions Committee, which says reports
0:16:11 > 0:16:13by private contractors are riddled with errors.
0:16:13 > 0:16:15It also says claimants don't trust assessors to record evidence
0:16:15 > 0:16:16of their conditions accurately.
0:16:16 > 0:16:18The Government insists the system works well
0:16:18 > 0:16:19for the majority of claimants.
0:16:19 > 0:16:21in how their welfare claims are assessed, according
0:16:21 > 0:16:23Anastasia is having a good day.
0:16:23 > 0:16:24But it's not always like this.
0:16:24 > 0:16:26Most days she is constant pain.
0:16:26 > 0:16:27The 24-year-old has multiple sclerosis.
0:16:27 > 0:16:31She used to work full-time, but now she struggles to leave the house.
0:16:31 > 0:16:35On the days she can get out, Anastasia totally relies on her car.
0:16:35 > 0:16:39She applied for a disability benefit and was assessed at home
0:16:39 > 0:16:47by a health care professional from a private company.
0:16:57 > 0:17:00On the days she can get out, Anastasia totally relies on her car.
0:17:00 > 0:17:03She applied for a disability benefit and was assessed at home
0:17:03 > 0:17:05by a health care professional from a private company.
0:17:05 > 0:17:07Anastasia told her assessor she could only walk 20 metres,
0:17:07 > 0:17:10but when the report came back, it said she could walk further.
0:17:10 > 0:17:12She didn't give me a physical assessment.
0:17:12 > 0:17:13I was sat down the entire time.
0:17:13 > 0:17:15I was very, very cross about that.
0:17:15 > 0:17:17As a result, Anastasia lost her higher rate disability benefit,
0:17:17 > 0:17:19which meant she lost her car.
0:17:19 > 0:17:20Although she successfully appealed that decision,
0:17:20 > 0:17:22her experience is far from a one-off.
0:17:22 > 0:17:24Today's report identifies a culture of mistrust
0:17:24 > 0:17:25around the whole process.
0:17:25 > 0:17:28It says the government's low bar for what it is what is considered
0:17:28 > 0:17:30acceptable leaves room for assessment reports to be riddled
0:17:30 > 0:17:31with obvious errors and omissions.
0:17:31 > 0:17:34It also says assessors risk being viewed as a best
0:17:34 > 0:17:36lacking in confidence and at worst, actively deceitful.
0:17:36 > 0:17:38Nurses are expected to assess four or five clients a day...
0:17:38 > 0:17:41But this former nurse, who worked as an assessor for a few
0:17:41 > 0:17:43weeks before quitting, has today anonymously told the BBC
0:17:43 > 0:17:45she was disgusted with the system.
0:17:45 > 0:17:47I had a lady come to my service, dropped off.
0:17:47 > 0:17:50In my mind, in my experience over 20 years working with people
0:17:50 > 0:17:52with learning disabilities, this lady had learning disabilities.
0:17:52 > 0:17:55When I made my report on my observations, it was sent back
0:17:55 > 0:17:58and the auditor made me change it and said there was no evidence
0:17:58 > 0:18:00that she had learning disabilities at all.
0:18:00 > 0:18:03We have asked the government to record all these key
0:18:03 > 0:18:06assessments, interviews.
0:18:06 > 0:18:08The government said it is going to put this idea
0:18:08 > 0:18:11out to consultation.
0:18:11 > 0:18:14We pointed out to the Minister when she was before the committee
0:18:14 > 0:18:22that literally everybody has agreed except the government
0:18:22 > 0:18:24that they shouldn't do this.
0:18:24 > 0:18:26So this consultation clearly is going to be
0:18:26 > 0:18:27the government talking to itself.
0:18:27 > 0:18:29The government says it is exploring options to promote greater
0:18:29 > 0:18:31transparency and trust and that assessments work well
0:18:31 > 0:18:34for the majority of claimants who said they were happy
0:18:34 > 0:18:35with their overall experience.
0:18:35 > 0:18:37But with current contract is up for review and targets
0:18:37 > 0:18:40being consistently missed, it is uncertain who will carry out
0:18:40 > 0:18:42these assessments in the future.

0:19:29 > 0:19:34The prescription tranquiliser Xanax is being sold illegally to children
0:19:34 > 0:19:39by dealers using social media sites, the BBC has discovered.
0:19:39 > 0:19:42Several young people have been left needing hospital treatment
0:19:42 > 0:19:44after taking the drug.
0:19:44 > 0:19:47The Home Office says it's taking action, and has called on social
0:19:47 > 0:19:50media sites to crack down on the practice.
0:19:50 > 0:19:56Lauren Moss reports.
0:19:56 > 0:20:00When we would by acid, it would be like £10 a tab and then
0:20:00 > 0:20:02he would sell us Xanax on the side.
0:20:02 > 0:20:03It's a dangerous lifestyle that is growing
0:20:03 > 0:20:09in popularity.

0:20:14 > 0:20:18Weed, MDMA, cocaine, Xanax.
0:20:18 > 0:20:21Are dealers using social media as a platform to sell drugs?
0:20:21 > 0:20:26Certain dealers online, on like social media.
0:20:26 > 0:20:29Sometimes you can, it is possible now to let go on Instagram
0:20:29 > 0:20:31and find a drug dealer.
0:20:31 > 0:20:33Behind websites usually used for sharing
0:20:33 > 0:20:36photos and contacting family and friends lurks a criminal

0:20:40 > 0:20:46They invite users to message them through an anonymous at,
0:20:46 > 0:20:49-- app.
0:20:49 > 0:20:52It's possible to make an order, pay and arrange delivery all in a matter
0:20:52 > 0:20:53of minutes.
0:20:53 > 0:20:56One of the dealers I found an Instagram sent me this
0:20:56 > 0:20:57package in the post.
0:20:57 > 0:20:59Inside is a free sample of his product which he
0:20:59 > 0:21:01claims is Xanax and diazepam, tranquilisers usually
0:21:01 > 0:21:03used to treat anxiety.
0:21:03 > 0:21:06And you can see he sent me nine tablets.
0:21:06 > 0:21:09The dealer hopes if I am satisfied with this, I will then
0:21:09 > 0:21:13place a larger order and it is all virtually untraceable.
0:21:13 > 0:21:15There is some school of thought, essentially, which
0:21:15 > 0:21:18thinks because these are prescription drugs in some countries
0:21:18 > 0:21:20that it is OK and that they are going to be safe.
0:21:20 > 0:21:22That is absolutely not the case.
0:21:22 > 0:21:24So when things are bought online, it is really easy for
0:21:24 > 0:21:26dealers to make counterfeits, for example.
0:21:26 > 0:21:29We are not sure of the dosage.
0:21:29 > 0:21:32I think there does have to be some responsibility put on these
0:21:32 > 0:21:34social media giants essentially to tackle it.
0:21:34 > 0:21:37I notified Facebook and Instagram about the accounts and asked
0:21:37 > 0:21:39for an interview.
0:21:39 > 0:21:41No one was available but they sent separate
0:21:41 > 0:21:44statements saying, "buying or selling drugs of any sort is not
0:21:44 > 0:21:46allowed" on either platform and the accounts I showed
0:21:46 > 0:21:50them have been removed for breaking community guidelines.
0:21:50 > 0:21:53Both sites are asking anyone who sees this content to report it
0:21:53 > 0:21:57and say their teams will work quickly to take it down.

0:22:06 > 0:22:11Lauren Moss, BBC News.
0:22:11 > 0:22:14And viewers in the South East can see more of that
0:22:14 > 0:22:22investigation at 1:30pm, straight after this programme.
0:22:24 > 0:22:27The Kremlin has denied any knowledge of Russian mercenaries
0:22:27 > 0:22:29fighting in Syria, after a number of its citizens
0:22:29 > 0:22:31were among those killed in a US-led airstrike in the east
0:22:31 > 0:22:32of the country.
0:22:32 > 0:22:36America says it killed more than 100 fighters in the strikes last week.
0:22:36 > 0:22:38The Russian mercenaries are said to have been hired by private
0:22:38 > 0:22:43military firms backing Syrian pro-government troops.
0:22:43 > 0:22:47Steve Rosenberg reports from Moscow.
0:22:47 > 0:22:50Just two months ago, Vladimir Putin flew to Syria
0:22:50 > 0:22:54to declare mission accomplished.
0:22:54 > 0:22:57He told his troops the motherland was proud of them, and ordered
0:22:57 > 0:23:00many of the soldiers home.
0:23:00 > 0:23:02But Russians are still fighting in Syria.
0:23:02 > 0:23:07And it's not just their regular forces who are suffering casualties.
0:23:07 > 0:23:11These men are amongst what is reported to be a large group
0:23:11 > 0:23:14of Russian mercenaries who were killed in the Syrian
0:23:14 > 0:23:17Serbian province of Deir Ezzor one week ago, the result of air
0:23:17 > 0:23:22and artillery strikes by the US-led coalition.
0:23:22 > 0:23:26Among those killed was Stanislav Matveyev.
0:23:26 > 0:23:28He went to fight in eastern Ukraine, and was then
0:23:28 > 0:23:32hired to fight in Syria.
0:23:32 > 0:23:35"They were sent into battle like animals,
0:23:35 > 0:23:39without any protection", his widow says.
0:23:39 > 0:23:42"The Russian government should seek revenge for the sake of the wives
0:23:42 > 0:23:45and their children".
0:23:45 > 0:23:47And what's the Kremlin saying about this?
0:23:47 > 0:23:49Not much.
0:23:49 > 0:23:53And the reason the Kremlin has made little comment about this
0:23:53 > 0:23:56is that the Russian authorities have never spoken before publicly
0:23:56 > 0:23:59about Russian mercenaries in Syria, or about the private military
0:23:59 > 0:24:02companies believed to be recruiting them.
0:24:02 > 0:24:05And that's why these reports of casualties
0:24:05 > 0:24:09are so embarrassing for Moscow.
0:24:09 > 0:24:11Presidential candidate Grigory Yavlinsky says
0:24:11 > 0:24:13the mercenaries have no legal basis for being in Syria,
0:24:13 > 0:24:16and are a danger to Russia.
0:24:16 > 0:24:22When you have in the country some structures which are almost
0:24:22 > 0:24:25military structures, and you have no control on them,
0:24:25 > 0:24:28it's dangerous for the country, it's dangerous for the people,
0:24:28 > 0:24:33it's even dangerous for the president.
0:24:33 > 0:24:36Up till now, this has been the public face of Russia's
0:24:36 > 0:24:37military operation in Syria.
0:24:37 > 0:24:42The Kremlin would have preferred to keep it that way.
0:24:42 > 0:24:49Steve Rosenberg, BBC News, Moscow.
0:24:49 > 0:24:5230 years after one of the most notorious murders
0:24:52 > 0:24:54in British legal history, there are calls for sentencing
0:24:54 > 0:24:57guidelines to be changed to reflect serious miscarriages of justice.
0:24:57 > 0:25:01Lynette White, a 20-year-old sex worker, was stabbed
0:25:01 > 0:25:05to death by Jeffrey Gafoor in Cardiff in 1988.
0:25:05 > 0:25:08But Gafoor was convicted 13 years after three other men -
0:25:08 > 0:25:12known as the "Cardiff Three" - were wrongly jailed for the murder.
0:25:12 > 0:25:15Wyre Davies reports.
0:25:15 > 0:25:1820-year-old Lynette White was stabbed 50 times in a frenzied
0:25:18 > 0:25:24attack in a rundown Cardiff Bay flat which she used to meet clients.
0:25:24 > 0:25:28Witnesses spoke of a bloodstained white man fleeing the scene
0:25:28 > 0:25:30but under pressure to get results, detectives arrested
0:25:30 > 0:25:32five local black men.
0:25:32 > 0:25:34Innocent!
0:25:34 > 0:25:36Despite repeated denials and a lack of evidence,
0:25:36 > 0:25:38three were convicted.
0:25:38 > 0:25:41Known as the Cardiff Three, their convictions were eventually
0:25:41 > 0:25:44quashed amid huge public outcry.
0:25:44 > 0:25:47A subsequent South Wales Police investigation unearthed the real
0:25:47 > 0:25:51killer, security guard Jeffrey Gafoor.
0:25:51 > 0:25:54But this wasn't the first miscarriage of justice
0:25:54 > 0:25:59and the damage to the force's reputation was done.
0:25:59 > 0:26:04It is somewhat in the DNA of the force now, I've got to say,
0:26:04 > 0:26:07our determination not to fail in this way again steels my
0:26:07 > 0:26:08resolve everyday make sure that our investigations
0:26:08 > 0:26:10are of the highest quality.
0:26:10 > 0:26:12Campaigners who say that Jeffrey Gafoor should've got a much
0:26:12 > 0:26:15longer sentence for the sadistic murder of Lynette White say that
0:26:15 > 0:26:18murderers who allow innocent people to suffer for their crimes
0:26:18 > 0:26:22are the most contemptible criminals of all.
0:26:22 > 0:26:25In sentencing Jeffrey Gafoor, the judge made specific reference
0:26:25 > 0:26:28to how he had knowingly contributed to ruining the lives
0:26:28 > 0:26:30of innocent men.
0:26:30 > 0:26:33Including John Actie who was originally charged
0:26:33 > 0:26:39with the murder and spent years in prison.
0:26:39 > 0:26:43Jeffrey Gafoor, you know he could be out of jail any time soon, you know.
0:26:43 > 0:26:45We done 16 years between us.
0:26:45 > 0:26:48And he could be coming out and he hasn't even done 16 years yet.
0:26:48 > 0:26:51Speaking to BBC Wales Investigates, one influential voice says changing
0:26:51 > 0:26:53sentencing policy to reflect miscarriages of justice
0:26:53 > 0:26:57could be an option.
0:26:57 > 0:27:01There certainly are people who believe that when Jeffrey Gafoor
0:27:01 > 0:27:04was sentenced, not enough account was taken off the fact that he had
0:27:04 > 0:27:07allowed innocent people to spend time in prison as a result
0:27:07 > 0:27:11of his actions.
0:27:11 > 0:27:14And of course this is a matter that is being looked
0:27:14 > 0:27:17at within the criminal law now.
0:27:17 > 0:27:2030 years on this notorious case left many victims.
0:27:20 > 0:27:24Including one who her family say should never be forgotten.
0:27:24 > 0:27:32Wyre Davies, BBC News.
0:27:33 > 0:27:38And you can see a special report looking at the murder of Lynette
0:27:38 > 0:27:44White on the BBC News website.
0:27:44 > 0:27:46After Elise Christie's crash in the speed skating final
0:27:46 > 0:27:48yesterday, Britain is still looking for it's first medal
0:27:48 > 0:27:50of the Winter Olympics in South Korea, and focus switched
0:27:50 > 0:27:52today to the curling, which began overnight.
0:27:52 > 0:27:55Team GB won medals in both the men's and women's curling
0:27:55 > 0:27:59at the last Games in Sochi, and both British teams have
0:27:59 > 0:28:02got off to a successful start in Pyeongchang.
0:28:02 > 0:28:10Our correspondent David Ornstein is there for us now.
0:28:13 > 0:28:17It really was bitterly disappointing for Elise Christie and she has taken
0:28:17 > 0:28:21to social media to say she is heartbroken but looking forward to
0:28:21 > 0:28:26her remaining events. She still has more medal opportunities and talking
0:28:26 > 0:28:30of medals of the biggest stars of winter sports was bidding earlier
0:28:30 > 0:28:32today to make history and he did not disappoint.
0:28:32 > 0:28:34He needs 95.25 and the run of his life.
0:28:34 > 0:28:36They call him the Flying Tomato.
0:28:36 > 0:28:39Shaun White, he of red hair and snowboarding flair.
0:28:39 > 0:28:41He has landed it!
0:28:41 > 0:28:43Oh, my goodness!
0:28:43 > 0:28:47With his final run, the American saved his best until last
0:28:47 > 0:28:49to stun his rivals and become the first snowboarder to win
0:28:49 > 0:28:52three Olympic titles.
0:28:52 > 0:28:56I'm really proud to come out on top today and I'm really thankful
0:28:56 > 0:28:57for those guys honestly because they pushed me
0:28:57 > 0:29:00to get to this point, to be able to do these
0:29:00 > 0:29:01kinds of events.
0:29:01 > 0:29:03Elsewhere, the weather continued to disrupt the games
0:29:03 > 0:29:07with the women's slalom and biathlon postponed, the latest events
0:29:07 > 0:29:10to fall foul of high winds.
0:29:10 > 0:29:13There were no such problems at the indoor venues
0:29:13 > 0:29:16where if the mere presence of North Korean skaters
0:29:16 > 0:29:19on South Korean ice was significant, the display of Tae-ok Ryom
0:29:19 > 0:29:23and Ju-sik Kim was magnificent.
0:29:23 > 0:29:26Supported by a band of more than 200 cheerleaders,
0:29:26 > 0:29:31they qualified for the pairs final in style.
0:29:31 > 0:29:34With Britain's wait for a first medal ongoing, attention this
0:29:34 > 0:29:38morning turned to curling.
0:29:38 > 0:29:40The men took silver four years ago and although this
0:29:40 > 0:29:44is a new team, they picked up where their predecessors left off.
0:29:44 > 0:29:46What a win for Great Britain.
0:29:46 > 0:29:50With a sudden-death victory over Switzerland in their opening match.
0:29:50 > 0:29:53They're one of the teams you'd expect to be near the podium
0:29:53 > 0:29:56at the end of the week so I'm very pleased to get off to our first
0:29:56 > 0:30:00Olympics in such a good performance.
0:30:00 > 0:30:03We kind of struggled a wee bit but we pulled it together and really
0:30:03 > 0:30:06pleased to get the win.
0:30:06 > 0:30:09Eve Muirhead would like to try and finish this here.
0:30:09 > 0:30:13Bronze medallists in Sochi, the women wanted gold here
0:30:13 > 0:30:17and started as they plan to go on, by dominating a team of Olympic
0:30:17 > 0:30:18athletes from Russia.
0:30:18 > 0:30:19And she has done it superbly well.
0:30:19 > 0:30:27Next up, it's the United States tomorrow.
0:30:28 > 0:30:33Well the men's curlers are back on the ice as we speak, trailing Canada
0:30:33 > 0:30:35but still with a long way to go in that competition. Meanwhile a
0:30:35 > 0:30:39potential storm brewing in the skeleton competition, some nations
0:30:39 > 0:30:44are said to be questioning the legality of the new skin suit to be
0:30:44 > 0:30:50worn by the British athletes including Lizzy Yarnold. Team GB say
0:30:50 > 0:30:53they've done nothing wrong and the governing body of skeleton have
0:30:53 > 0:30:58approved those suits. That event is getting underway tomorrow. Thank you
0:30:58 > 0:30:59for that.
0:30:59 > 0:31:01Time for a look at the weather.
0:31:01 > 0:31:04Here's Chris Fawkes.
0:31:04 > 0:31:07Here's Chris Fawkes.
0:31:07 > 0:31:14We had some glorious sunrise pictures sent in this morning, this
0:31:14 > 0:31:18one from the Isle of Wight. And we have a weather front approaching
0:31:18 > 0:31:26from the West today which gave as those beautiful pictures. But the
0:31:26 > 0:31:30weather is going downhill now and for many it will be a wet afternoon.
0:31:30 > 0:31:36A happy band of rain stretching across the Midlands, and the
0:31:36 > 0:31:41south-east at the minute. The rain quite extensive at the moment. And
0:31:41 > 0:31:45up in the mountains of Scotland, expecting five, ten centimetres of
0:31:45 > 0:31:55snow. It is also windy with gusts of England and Wales around 40 miles an
0:31:55 > 0:32:00hour. Higher around the coast. So a wet afternoon to come across the
0:32:00 > 0:32:04south-east. From there the rain gets more patchy but clears away
0:32:04 > 0:32:08overnight. Temperature is not quite as cold as last night but still a
0:32:08 > 0:32:13few patches of frost out in the countryside. So the risk of some icy
0:32:13 > 0:32:18surfaces first thing in the morning. We are seeing high pressure building
0:32:18 > 0:32:24in across England and Wales tomorrow but low pressure further north and
0:32:24 > 0:32:29we have these big contrasts in temperatures. Cold air filtering in
0:32:29 > 0:32:33across much of the UK but across the South we have wind in a different
0:32:33 > 0:32:39direction dragging in warmer air. So quite a few heavy showers banding
0:32:39 > 0:32:45together tomorrow and some snow contained within those. Across
0:32:45 > 0:32:48England and Wales book of the temperature contrast, cold weather
0:32:48 > 0:32:54across the North, quite mild in the south. Looking towards the end of
0:32:54 > 0:32:59the week, the high pressure builds a little more, we start to see
0:32:59 > 0:33:04south-westerly winds just moving that cold air further north. But
0:33:04 > 0:33:09another weather front across the North West on Friday, rain and snow
0:33:09 > 0:33:14involved with this. But some sunshine for many. Temperatures
0:33:14 > 0:33:18again mild in the south. Further north temperatures rising a little
0:33:18 > 0:33:27bit. And for the weekend, the theme of the weather turning a little bit
0:33:27 > 0:33:30milder is set to continue and for many through the weekend it should
0:33:30 > 0:33:35be largely dry. The Mineralstein set to continue into next week but it
0:33:35 > 0:33:40could turn colder towards the latter part of February.
0:33:40 > 0:33:55That's all from the BBC News at One - so it's goodbye from me -
