0:00:20 > 0:00:24Knowing that everything has been cleaned up,

0:00:24 > 0:00:26like I was saying, you can't...

0:00:26 > 0:00:29You can almost imagine just blood on the walls,

0:00:29 > 0:00:31bodies on the floor.

0:00:31 > 0:00:36No one's going to be able to walk through that building, no one.

0:01:00 > 0:01:08the endangered orangutans of Borneo move around their habitat.

0:01:10 > 0:01:14Is this the wrong that's going to get Great Britain their first medal

0:01:14 > 0:01:21in these Winter Olympics?And we'll have the latest from the Winter

0:01:21 > 0:01:22Olympics in Pyeongchang.

0:01:22 > 0:01:25Listen, I know hundreds of thousands of people have stayed up.

0:01:25 > 0:01:28I also know from your mum and dad that great auntie Elsie,

0:01:28 > 0:01:30I think she's 93, she has stayed up as well.

0:01:30 > 0:01:31Amazing!

0:01:31 > 0:01:33I hope she gets some sleep then.

0:01:33 > 0:01:35And coming up in the sport on BBC News:

0:01:35 > 0:01:37Defending champion Lizzie Yarnold defends a slender lead

0:01:37 > 0:01:43in the second run of the women's skeleton in Pyeongchang.

0:02:09 > 0:02:12Welcome to the BBC News at one. President Trump with later today

0:02:12 > 0:02:15visit the scene of the Florida high school shooting, which left 17

0:02:15 > 0:02:23people dead. Police say the shooter has confessed.

0:02:23 > 0:02:25The FBI has admitted it received a tip-off

0:02:25 > 0:02:28about Nikolas Cruz last year.

0:02:28 > 0:02:34Social media accounts show the 19-year-old posing with guns and

0:02:34 > 0:02:37knives. Thousands of people attended a candlelit vigil in Florida.

0:02:37 > 0:02:40They came to mourn the lives lost and the live scarred

0:02:40 > 0:02:41by this senseless attack.

0:02:41 > 0:02:44Neighbours, friends and the students of Stoneman Douglas High comforted

0:02:44 > 0:02:51one another as best they could.

0:02:51 > 0:02:54Jet was among the students who ran in the panic once

0:02:54 > 0:02:56the first shots were fired.

0:02:56 > 0:02:59He doesn't know if he can handle returning to the halls

0:02:59 > 0:03:00where his classmates' lives were cut short.

0:03:00 > 0:03:08I don't know if I'll be able to just cope with walking through the bottom

0:03:08 > 0:03:10floor of the freshman building, knowing that everything

0:03:10 > 0:03:11has been cleaned up.

0:03:11 > 0:03:14You can almost imagine just blood on the walls,

0:03:14 > 0:03:17bodies on the floor.

0:03:17 > 0:03:22No one is going to be able to walk through that building.

0:03:22 > 0:03:23No one.

0:03:23 > 0:03:26All 17 victims have now been identified.

0:03:26 > 0:03:29Among them talented students, star athletes and Aaron Feis,

0:03:29 > 0:03:32a beloved football coach and security guard.

0:03:32 > 0:03:34He has been called a hero for shielding children

0:03:34 > 0:03:38from the gunman's bullets.

0:03:38 > 0:03:40Nikolas Cruz appeared in court briefly on 17 charges

0:03:40 > 0:03:42of premeditated murder.

0:03:42 > 0:03:44His lawyer said he was sad and remorseful and described him

0:03:44 > 0:03:48as a broken human being.

0:03:48 > 0:03:50The Sheriff's Office said he confessed to opening fire

0:03:50 > 0:03:53on his former school.

0:03:53 > 0:03:56He told authorities he bought a drink at Subway and stopped

0:03:56 > 0:03:59at McDonald's after the rampage.

0:03:59 > 0:04:02On social media, Cruz often posed with guns.

0:04:02 > 0:04:06And, in one post, he wrote he would be a professional school shooter.

0:04:06 > 0:04:10Those who knew him were troubled by his behaviour.

0:04:10 > 0:04:14I saw him in the backyard and he had like a, I wouldn't say a BB gun,

0:04:14 > 0:04:16I wasn't exactly sure.

0:04:16 > 0:04:20And I was pretty young so I told my mom and I said,

0:04:20 > 0:04:22Mom, it looks like he is shooting at something.

0:04:22 > 0:04:26And the people who are behind us have chickens and he was shooting

0:04:26 > 0:04:29at the chickens, so my mom called the cops.

0:04:29 > 0:04:30He would steal other neighbours' mail.

0:04:30 > 0:04:38The cops were always at his house.

0:04:38 > 0:04:43He hid my car one time and we went to go and find out who did it

0:04:43 > 0:04:46and he was hiding under a bush and he started pelting eggs at my

0:04:46 > 0:04:48friend and we were chasing him down.

0:04:48 > 0:04:50He has just always been causing trouble.

0:04:50 > 0:04:52These terrifying scenes of students completely helpless and trembling

0:04:52 > 0:04:53with fear have shaken the nation.

0:04:53 > 0:04:55And they have reignited the debate on gun control.

0:04:55 > 0:04:59People here are in a state of shock that someone in their own community

0:04:59 > 0:05:02could be capable of such killing, and that their city now joins

0:05:02 > 0:05:05the long list of America's school shooting tragedies.

0:05:05 > 0:05:06The President said he plans to visit soon.

0:05:06 > 0:05:09Never one to shy away from controversial decisions

0:05:09 > 0:05:14in the name of safety and security for Americans, many wonder

0:05:14 > 0:05:17if he will come with new ideas, and if he will remain silent

0:05:17 > 0:05:19on gun control.

0:05:19 > 0:05:26And Nada is in Parkland in Florida now.

0:05:27 > 0:05:33The team unity has been through such a trauma. -- the community. What

0:05:33 > 0:05:39more people saying, what do they want done?You know, it's

0:05:39 > 0:05:43extraordinary to hear from these students, who speak so eloquently

0:05:43 > 0:05:48and with such passion, and you heard very clearly from them, and I've

0:05:48 > 0:05:51spoken to some students at that vigil, and from parents as well.

0:05:51 > 0:05:57They say they don't want to just be another number. They are OK that

0:05:57 > 0:06:00videos of them showed them in some of the most emotional states they've

0:06:00 > 0:06:07ever been in Arsene cross-country, because they want people to

0:06:07 > 0:06:10understand what gun violence looks like. They say they want changes

0:06:10 > 0:06:14made. The majority of Americans in this country agree that there needs

0:06:14 > 0:06:19to be better background checks for people with mental health, that they

0:06:19 > 0:06:23shouldn't have access to guns, that there should be greater bans on

0:06:23 > 0:06:27automatic weapons, and yet in Congress there is this divide, and

0:06:27 > 0:06:29the country is more divided than ever on this issue. When you hear

0:06:29 > 0:06:36from people here, they say, despite people in Washington being stuck on

0:06:36 > 0:06:38this issue, they hope around the nation, there is some rallying for

0:06:38 > 0:06:41people to push for change.

0:06:41 > 0:06:45The number of young people in the UK who own their own home has fallen

0:06:45 > 0:06:46dramatically over the last 20 years.

0:06:46 > 0:06:48Research by the Institute for Fiscal Studies shows

0:06:48 > 0:06:52that the proportion of middle-income earners aged 25 to 34

0:06:52 > 0:06:55who own a property dropped over that period from two-thirds

0:06:55 > 0:07:00to just over a quarter.

0:07:00 > 0:07:04Our personal finance correspondent, Simon Gompertz, reports.

0:07:04 > 0:07:06I've been living here a couple of years now.

0:07:06 > 0:07:12Aged 30, keen to buy, but shut out of the market.

0:07:12 > 0:07:13So this is my room.

0:07:13 > 0:07:17Tom Bourlet says renting here in Brighton is money down the drain.

0:07:17 > 0:07:20But the house prices beyond him.

0:07:20 > 0:07:22It's completely out of reach.

0:07:22 > 0:07:25There is not a chance I will be able to get the deposit.

0:07:25 > 0:07:28It's such a cost and with utility bills, with the cost

0:07:28 > 0:07:31of trains going to London, with my rent prices,

0:07:31 > 0:07:32it is just unachievable.

0:07:32 > 0:07:35And my friends, they are all around the same age and none of us

0:07:35 > 0:07:37are on the property ladder yet.

0:07:37 > 0:07:40The Institute for Fiscal Studies looked at young people aged 25

0:07:40 > 0:07:44to 34 on middle-incomes, at the moment, between 22,000

0:07:44 > 0:07:48and 30,000 for a household after tax - in most cases,

0:07:48 > 0:07:52couples with children.

0:07:52 > 0:07:55Two decades ago, 65% of those on middle incomes

0:07:55 > 0:07:57owned their own homes.

0:07:57 > 0:08:04That's dropped to just 27%.

0:08:04 > 0:08:06Most of the rest are forced to rent.

0:08:06 > 0:08:09The huge increase in house prices is the reason why it has

0:08:09 > 0:08:10become so difficult.

0:08:10 > 0:08:1220 years ago, a young family would need four

0:08:12 > 0:08:14times their income in order to buy.

0:08:14 > 0:08:17Now, it's more like eight times, so, for increasing numbers,

0:08:17 > 0:08:23buying a home is just a nonstarter.

0:08:23 > 0:08:25The Government's Help To Buy scheme is helping people afford more,

0:08:25 > 0:08:27particularly new homes, and first-time buyers have

0:08:27 > 0:08:31had their stamp duty cut.

0:08:31 > 0:08:35But the problem is also one of supply.

0:08:35 > 0:08:38Councils complain that developers are sitting on planning permission

0:08:38 > 0:08:41for more than 400,000 homes that haven't been built, and that is

0:08:41 > 0:08:42aggravating the shortage.

0:08:42 > 0:08:48It's really hard to see how we can make this better

0:08:48 > 0:08:51when we are still seeing huge demand for housing and that housing

0:08:51 > 0:08:53demand is not being met with the right number of houses.

0:08:53 > 0:08:56So I think it is all coming down to the individual now.

0:08:56 > 0:08:59They are having to make the choices, they are having

0:08:59 > 0:09:02to decide for themselves - do I want to rent and have

0:09:02 > 0:09:05the flexibility but pay more for it, or do I want to make a lot

0:09:05 > 0:09:12of difficult decisions and get on the housing ladder sooner?

0:09:12 > 0:09:15My mum always says she got on the property ladder around 25,

0:09:15 > 0:09:2226, and she tells me the deposit price and how cheap it was.

0:09:22 > 0:09:25Tom is aggrieved he is missing out - part of a generation

0:09:25 > 0:09:27in which most people, like it or not, are

0:09:27 > 0:09:28stuck with renting.

0:09:28 > 0:09:29Simon Gompertz, BBC News, Brighton.

0:09:29 > 0:09:32The head of Oxfam International has announced what she's calling

0:09:32 > 0:09:33a comprehensive plan, including an independent commission

0:09:33 > 0:09:36to deal with claims of abuse involving its staff.

0:09:36 > 0:09:38Winnie Byanyima said the revelations of sexual misconduct

0:09:38 > 0:09:41in Haiti and other countries were a stain on the charity that

0:09:41 > 0:09:46will shame it for years.

0:09:46 > 0:09:53Our diplomatic correspondent, James Landale, reports.

0:09:53 > 0:09:57The earthquake that struck in 2010 reduced much of a teaser rubble. But

0:09:57 > 0:10:08the after-shock is still being felt by Oxfam. -- reduced much of Haiti.

0:10:08 > 0:10:14Oxfam's global head said sorry for the sexual exploitation carried out

0:10:14 > 0:10:17by some staff from Haiti, something she told me she only found out that

0:10:17 > 0:10:24last week.Anyone who is being attacked him -- a victim of abuse, I

0:10:24 > 0:10:29want them to come forward we will atone for the past. Right now,

0:10:29 > 0:10:33thousands of Oxfam staff are doing the right thing in the most

0:10:33 > 0:10:39dangerous places in the world.She's promising Tavernier checks on staff

0:10:39 > 0:10:43references, three times more money spent on internal safeguarding, and

0:10:43 > 0:10:47a new arm's-length commission to investigate Oxfam's handling of past

0:10:47 > 0:10:54cases.Members of this commission will be well respected, well-known,

0:10:54 > 0:11:01experienced women's rights leaders, or human rights leaders.Isn't that

0:11:01 > 0:11:07going to be seen as marking your own homework? If you are paying for

0:11:07 > 0:11:13this?They will be women and men of integrity, who will facilitate a job

0:11:13 > 0:11:19for us. They will make their own plan.She couldn't guarantee there

0:11:19 > 0:11:22were no sexual predators still looking for Oxfam, but she said more

0:11:22 > 0:11:27staff would be found accountable if they are found to have mishandled

0:11:27 > 0:11:32past cases.What hurts me most is that, out there in Haiti or another

0:11:32 > 0:11:37country, there are some who are women who are abused and you haven't

0:11:37 > 0:11:43received justice. For me, to deliver justice for those people is more

0:11:43 > 0:11:47important than, say, the reputation of Oxfam. These will be women and

0:11:47 > 0:11:54men of integrity, who will facilitate to do a job for us. They

0:11:54 > 0:12:00will make their own plan. They will make their own timetable. And we

0:12:00 > 0:12:06will just support them to ensure they give us their independent

0:12:06 > 0:12:11report.But this problem isn't limited to charities and United

0:12:11 > 0:12:15Nations agencies and peacekeepers have faced similar accusations of

0:12:15 > 0:12:20sexual misconduct, and the organisation's Secretary-General, he

0:12:20 > 0:12:24promised he would take action.This is an important battle which will

0:12:24 > 0:12:29not be won in two or three days. We need consistent commitment to gender

0:12:29 > 0:12:35parity, gender equality and at the same time, reduction of sexual

0:12:35 > 0:12:42harassment.What went on in Haiti has cost Oxfam trust, money and

0:12:42 > 0:12:46celebrity ambassadors, but it's shone a spotlight on an industry

0:12:46 > 0:12:49which until now has kept much of its behaviour in the shadows.

0:12:49 > 0:12:52Theresa May is in Berlin to discuss the impact of Brexit on security.

0:12:52 > 0:12:55She meets Chancellor Angela Merkel this afternoon, in advance

0:12:55 > 0:12:58of a speech in which she's expected to set out what sort of security

0:12:58 > 0:13:03partnership she wants with the EU after the UK leaves.

0:13:03 > 0:13:11Let's speak to Berlin correspondent Jenny Hill.

0:13:12 > 0:13:16This is always an important topic, Jenny, the issue of security, but

0:13:16 > 0:13:20it's striking that this comes as the heads of a number of security

0:13:20 > 0:13:27agencies come together to talk about this issue.Quite right, the head of

0:13:27 > 0:13:31MI6 and the French and German intelligence agencies have just made

0:13:31 > 0:13:35an unprecedented joint appearance at the Munich security conference,

0:13:35 > 0:13:37where they emphasised the importance of international cooperation on

0:13:37 > 0:13:45security, even once Britain has left the EU. That's a sentiment you can

0:13:45 > 0:13:49expect to be echoed by Theresa May when she visits first of all Angela

0:13:49 > 0:13:52Merkel in Burlington, and then addresses the security conference in

0:13:52 > 0:13:59Munich tomorrow. Her visit here is, I think, eagerly anticipated, and

0:13:59 > 0:14:03that's because, behind the scenes, there is a degree of frustration in

0:14:03 > 0:14:06Berlin. Earlier this week, the German government said in no

0:14:06 > 0:14:11uncertain terms that it was high time Britain firmed up its plans for

0:14:11 > 0:14:15Brexit, making the point that the clock is ticking. In effect, it's

0:14:15 > 0:14:19time to tell the EU what Britain wants. I think you can expect Angela

0:14:19 > 0:14:25Merkel to hammer that point home she meets Mrs May. An interesting

0:14:25 > 0:14:28meeting, both leaders promising their country is stable governments,

0:14:28 > 0:14:33and both women are struggling. Angela Merkel is somewhat weakened

0:14:33 > 0:14:37domestically, still trying to forge a new government, but whatever shape

0:14:37 > 0:14:44that government takes, however weak, Germany's position isn't going to

0:14:44 > 0:14:49change. Access to the single market for Britain means taking on freedom

0:14:49 > 0:14:52of movement in Berlin will continue to insist there will be no cherry

0:14:52 > 0:14:56picking for the UK.

0:14:56 > 0:14:59Men who were abused by Barry Bennell when he was a youth football coach

0:14:59 > 0:15:02have told the BBC they'll be seeking compensation from the clubs he was

0:15:02 > 0:15:05with when he committed the crimes.

0:15:05 > 0:15:07Yesterday, Bennell was found guilty of another seven counts of sexually

0:15:07 > 0:15:08abusing boys.

0:15:08 > 0:15:11He's now been convicted of 43 offences

0:15:11 > 0:15:14between 1979 and 1990.

0:15:14 > 0:15:21Our sports correspondent, Richard Conway, reports.

0:15:21 > 0:15:25No child should suffer the way we did.

0:15:25 > 0:15:28For the survivors of Barry Bennell's reign of abuse, the pain and memory

0:15:28 > 0:15:34of their ordeals will never fade.

0:15:34 > 0:15:37They are left instead to reflect on how one of Britain's most

0:15:37 > 0:15:39prolific paedophiles was allowed to get away with his

0:15:39 > 0:15:40crimes for so long.

0:15:40 > 0:15:43He got away with it because he was so good

0:15:43 > 0:15:45at what he did in terms of football.

0:15:45 > 0:15:46His ability and skills.

0:15:46 > 0:15:48He groomed the parents.

0:15:48 > 0:15:51A perfect storm, almost.

0:15:51 > 0:15:54Until we grew into men and stood up to him and put him

0:15:54 > 0:15:58where he should be now.

0:15:58 > 0:16:01Speaking today, some of those subjected to Barry Bennell's abuse

0:16:01 > 0:16:07said they will now pursue civil claims against the club

0:16:07 > 0:16:10--clubs connected to the case - Crewe Alexandra and Manchester City.

0:16:10 > 0:16:12He ruined my life.

0:16:12 > 0:16:14If there is any compensation or damages, of course

0:16:14 > 0:16:15I am going to take it.

0:16:15 > 0:16:18I do want an apology to start off with.

0:16:18 > 0:16:19From Bennell?

0:16:19 > 0:16:22From the clubs he was involved with.

0:16:22 > 0:16:23Yes, he has ruined my life.

0:16:23 > 0:16:25Should I get something for it?

0:16:25 > 0:16:29I think I should.

0:16:29 > 0:16:32With hundreds of potential victims, it could prove costly

0:16:32 > 0:16:33to the clubs involved.

0:16:33 > 0:16:36We need to consider the impact on their lives, potential

0:16:48 > 0:16:55Meanwhile, in a statement, Crewe Alexandra said...

0:17:03 > 0:17:09But one former director said he warned senior officials

0:17:09 > 0:17:12about Bennell's relationship with young boys in the late 1980s,

0:17:12 > 0:17:16but the coach was allowed to stay in his job.

0:17:16 > 0:17:19There was so much banter around the dressing rooms and around

0:17:19 > 0:17:20the football club about it.

0:17:20 > 0:17:23You know, odd remarks getting made here and there.

0:17:23 > 0:17:26If you did not know about it, God knows where you were.

0:17:26 > 0:17:28You weren't at Crewe.

0:17:28 > 0:17:31Dario, will you stop and answer questions for the BBC?

0:17:31 > 0:17:34Do you have a message for the victims?

0:17:34 > 0:17:37Dario Gradi, Crewe's former manager and the man who brought Bennell

0:17:37 > 0:17:41to the club has said previously he knew nothing about the abuse

0:17:41 > 0:17:45and has maintained a silence on the issue this week.

0:17:45 > 0:17:48Barry Bennell will be sentenced on Monday and is facing

0:17:48 > 0:17:51the prospect of facing the rest of his life in prison.

0:17:51 > 0:17:59This particular case may be over, but the questions continue.

0:18:03 > 0:18:10Here at Manchester City, one the club is connected to Barry Bennell,

0:18:10 > 0:18:13say they have heartfelt sympathy to all victims, what they call the

0:18:13 > 0:18:20unimaginable

0:18:20 > 0:18:26unimaginable tragic experiences they have had.

0:18:26 > 0:18:35have had.Barry Bennell, the other they say is a man called John

0:18:35 > 0:18:38Broome, they say is deceased, but nevertheless those investigations

0:18:38 > 0:18:46continue. The numbers involved since a number of former players came

0:18:46 > 0:18:52forward and gave testimony and spoke of their stories, a staggering 294

0:18:52 > 0:18:57suspects across Britain, 839 alleged victims of historical child sexual

0:18:57 > 0:19:01abuse in football. The FA, the Football Association looking into

0:19:01 > 0:19:07its past and seeing what it knew and when, half a million documents under

0:19:07 > 0:19:11review. The Barry Bennell case may be done for now but the questions

0:19:11 > 0:19:14and scrutiny for football will continue.Thank you.

0:19:14 > 0:19:19Our top story this lunchtime:

0:19:19 > 0:19:23A candlelit vigil has been held to remember the 17 people killed in the

0:19:23 > 0:19:29Florida high school shooting. Coming up on the programme, how harmful

0:19:29 > 0:19:34could cleaning products be? Scientists claim they are a

0:19:34 > 0:19:43contributor to air pollution. Coming up in sport, the new Scotland

0:19:43 > 0:19:47manager is confirmed. A deal until 2020, 11 years after leaving the job

0:19:47 > 0:19:52for the first time.

0:19:52 > 0:19:55For people suffering lung problems there's often an anxious wait

0:19:55 > 0:19:58for the test samples to be analysed.

0:19:58 > 0:20:00Now an international team of scientists, including

0:20:00 > 0:20:02some from Edinburgh, have developed

0:20:02 > 0:20:05a probe that goes inside the lung.

0:20:05 > 0:20:08The probe can find and identify an infection for the first time.

0:20:08 > 0:20:10Details have been unveiled in Austin, Texas,

0:20:10 > 0:20:14from where our science correspondent Pallab Ghosh sent this report.

0:20:14 > 0:20:21Shrunk down to microscopic surmise, a submarine team in the 1960s movie

0:20:21 > 0:20:25Shrunk down to microscopic size, a submarine team in the 1960s movie

0:20:25 > 0:20:27Fantastic Voyage enter the body of a patient to find

0:20:27 > 0:20:31the source of his illness.

0:20:31 > 0:20:34Can you see at captain?

0:20:34 > 0:20:36Yes, I see it now.

0:20:36 > 0:20:3950 years on, inspired by that film, doctors in Edinburgh are sending

0:20:39 > 0:20:41a probe inside a patient's lung.

0:20:41 > 0:20:43Journeying through the tiny airways, they come across bacteria,

0:20:43 > 0:20:47which you can see in white.

0:20:47 > 0:20:50The bacteria have been sprayed with a chemical that makes them

0:20:50 > 0:20:53visible when light is shone on them.

0:20:53 > 0:20:56It's the very first time it's been possible to see infection

0:20:56 > 0:20:59inside the human body.

0:20:59 > 0:21:01The real advantage here is we are imaging and detecting

0:21:01 > 0:21:06where the disease is in the patient's lungs.

0:21:06 > 0:21:08And we are giving a diagnosis or decision-making power

0:21:08 > 0:21:09within minutes or seconds.

0:21:09 > 0:21:12That's a big difference.

0:21:12 > 0:21:15The team are using it to test if critically ill people

0:21:15 > 0:21:17are developing pneumonia.

0:21:17 > 0:21:20Patients in intensive care are given powerful antibiotics

0:21:20 > 0:21:22as a matter of course, just in case they

0:21:22 > 0:21:25develop an infection.

0:21:25 > 0:21:29That there is a huge downside - complications can arise,

0:21:29 > 0:21:33and it's thought tens of thousands of people worldwide die as a result.

0:21:33 > 0:21:39There is a huge overuse of antibiotics in intensive care units.

0:21:39 > 0:21:43Clinicians simply do not have the answers at their fingertips

0:21:43 > 0:21:47when they are administering broad-spectrum antibiotics,

0:21:47 > 0:21:49but this technology could give them more information

0:21:49 > 0:21:53about what they are trying to treat.

0:21:53 > 0:21:55The same technique is also being used in Texas to develop

0:21:55 > 0:22:00a new test for malaria.

0:22:00 > 0:22:03The scientists shine a light on a blood sample and,

0:22:03 > 0:22:06straightaway, they can see if a patient is infected.

0:22:06 > 0:22:08You can transmit it, if you need a doctor

0:22:08 > 0:22:09or clinician's input.

0:22:09 > 0:22:12The aim is to shrink the setup to the size of an iPad,

0:22:12 > 0:22:15so it can be used in poor and remote areas.

0:22:15 > 0:22:17The main global need is the diagnosis of

0:22:17 > 0:22:19malaria in the field.

0:22:19 > 0:22:23It will have a huge impact, particularly for infants

0:22:23 > 0:22:26and the elderly, who are dying at a tremendous rate

0:22:26 > 0:22:27in these underserved areas.

0:22:27 > 0:22:29Perhaps, as Hollywood predicted, very soon miniature probes

0:22:29 > 0:22:34will be able to locate, identify and treat a wide

0:22:34 > 0:22:36range of diseases.

0:22:36 > 0:22:41Pallab Ghosh, BBC News, Austin, Texas.

0:22:41 > 0:22:45Scientists in the United States say that chemicals in many household

0:22:45 > 0:22:48products are now a key contributor to city air pollution,

0:22:48 > 0:22:54rivalling some vehicle emissions.

0:22:54 > 0:22:55The study

0:22:55 > 0:22:58focussed on so-called volatile organic compounds found in products

0:22:58 > 0:23:01such as cleaning fluids and paints, our Environment Analyst Roger

0:23:01 > 0:23:05Harrabin is with me.

0:23:05 > 0:23:08And can explain more. You better have and explain what sort of

0:23:08 > 0:23:13problem we are looking at.These compounds typically have been

0:23:13 > 0:23:17noticed to be coming from cars, based on oil based products on when

0:23:17 > 0:23:23they turn into gases they combine to form particles that can be breathed

0:23:23 > 0:23:28deep into the lungs. Car-makers have been under pressure to clear up the

0:23:28 > 0:23:33organic compounds and have done so successfully with catalytic

0:23:33 > 0:23:38converters and better engine design but as the amount of these have

0:23:38 > 0:23:43dropped, so the amount of those from other things in the household have

0:23:43 > 0:23:48stayed the same or grown so relatively in looks bigger and now

0:23:48 > 0:23:53concentration, looking at pates, perfumes, detergents, the sorts of

0:23:53 > 0:23:56things you might smell and taste at the back of your throat can form

0:23:56 > 0:24:02harmful particles inside your home. All of that said, is it also fair to

0:24:02 > 0:24:07say we react to things differently and not everyone will have that

0:24:07 > 0:24:10reaction?That is true. There is another study coincidently from

0:24:10 > 0:24:18Norway showing among a group of cleaners, they suffered lung damage

0:24:18 > 0:24:23similar to if they had been smoking. That does apply generally and more

0:24:23 > 0:24:28specifically you will know that you go somewhere and somebody will say

0:24:28 > 0:24:31that air freshener in the car is terrible, I have to open the window

0:24:31 > 0:24:37and you say what air freshener? Or I cannot stand that perfume, oh, I

0:24:37 > 0:24:41think it is lovely. People react differently and it makes it

0:24:41 > 0:24:45difficult to work out the rules about this sort of thing. I think we

0:24:45 > 0:24:53are moving into a more simplified age. We

0:24:53 > 0:24:56age. We know we have to use fewer types of plastic and I suspect we

0:24:56 > 0:24:58will have more fragrance free detergents as we move into the

0:24:58 > 0:24:59future.

0:24:59 > 0:25:02A team from Chester Zoo is trying to halt a massive fall

0:25:02 > 0:25:04in the number of orangutans on the island of Borneo.

0:25:04 > 0:25:06A study has found that within 16 years,

0:25:06 > 0:25:08the population there has halved.

0:25:08 > 0:25:11The researchers said that while deforestation

0:25:11 > 0:25:14was partly to blame, a large number of the animals

0:25:14 > 0:25:17were being killed by hunters or as punishment for raiding crops.

0:25:17 > 0:25:18Victoria Gill reports.

0:25:18 > 0:25:22Hanging onto survival.

0:25:22 > 0:25:24Zoo programmes like this preserve small populations

0:25:24 > 0:25:27of Bornean orangutans.

0:25:27 > 0:25:30But, in the wild, they are being pushed rapidly towards extinction.

0:25:30 > 0:25:38Their rainforest home continues to be cleared

0:25:39 > 0:25:41for agriculture and mining, but a 16-year-long study has now

0:25:41 > 0:25:43revealed that Borneo's orangutans are disappearing from areas

0:25:43 > 0:25:44where the forest is untouched.

0:25:44 > 0:25:47They are being targeted by hunters.

0:25:47 > 0:25:50Even in the areas where we think they're safe, we are losing them.

0:25:50 > 0:25:53And in some of the large populations where we have measured this loss,

0:25:53 > 0:25:57it's 50% over 16 years.

0:25:57 > 0:25:59It is an astonishing decline at the population level.

0:25:59 > 0:26:03Even without animals being deliberately killed,

0:26:03 > 0:26:06scientists estimate that deforestation alone could wipe out

0:26:06 > 0:26:13another 45,000 orangutans here in the next three decades.

0:26:13 > 0:26:17But this bridge-building project is a much-needed sign of hope.

0:26:17 > 0:26:21Where the forest is fragmented by agricultural drainage ditches,

0:26:21 > 0:26:25a team from Chester Zoo and the Malaysian charity Hutan

0:26:25 > 0:26:30is physically reconnecting it with tough polyester straps.

0:26:30 > 0:26:32This remarkable footage captured by a tourist is the project's

0:26:32 > 0:26:38first sign of success.

0:26:38 > 0:26:42When these animals use their arms, they move around, they move that

0:26:42 > 0:26:44height, they swing in the forest canopy and that's what they

0:26:44 > 0:26:48rely on in the wild.

0:26:48 > 0:26:51The zoo has learned from that to build bridges that

0:26:51 > 0:26:53will reconnect that habitat, just like the ones

0:26:53 > 0:26:54in the zoo enclosure.

0:26:54 > 0:26:57To actually see them using them and moving more freely

0:26:57 > 0:26:59across this habitat, that is so fragmented,

0:26:59 > 0:27:02is a really positive sign.

0:27:02 > 0:27:04This is very much a short-term solution.

0:27:04 > 0:27:08The long-term solution is to reforest the area.

0:27:08 > 0:27:12Palm oil grown here makes its way into a huge variety of our food

0:27:12 > 0:27:15and other products, so conservationists are urging us

0:27:15 > 0:27:18consumers to check it's sourced sustainably.

0:27:18 > 0:27:20Our choices, scientists say, could decide whether there

0:27:20 > 0:27:22is a future for these critically endangered apes.

0:27:22 > 0:27:30Victoria Gill, BBC News.

0:27:30 > 0:27:33He's known as the Wizard - now Dom Parsons is celebrating

0:27:33 > 0:27:37the magic of winning Team GB's first medal at the Winter Olympics.

0:27:37 > 0:27:40The 30-year-old, who was classed as an outsider, took

0:27:40 > 0:27:45bronze in the skeleton.

0:27:45 > 0:27:47And now all hopes are pinned on the women carrying

0:27:47 > 0:27:51on their winning ways in the event.

0:27:51 > 0:27:532014 gold medallist Lizzy Yarnold is aiming to become the first

0:27:53 > 0:27:56British athlete to successfully defend a Winter Olympic title.

0:27:56 > 0:28:00Our sports correspondent David Ornstein is in Pyeongchang.

0:28:00 > 0:28:09David. Britain arrived in South Korea with a target of making it the

0:28:09 > 0:28:13most successful ever Winter Olympics but despite record levels of

0:28:13 > 0:28:18funding, after six days of competition, it was a story of

0:28:18 > 0:28:22disappointment and they will yet to set foot on a podium but today in

0:28:22 > 0:28:25dramatic fashion, the weight came to an end as my colleague Andy Swiss

0:28:25 > 0:28:29reports.

0:28:29 > 0:28:34From a 100-1 outsider to Olympic medallist.

0:28:34 > 0:28:38In a sport of eventful journeys, Dom Parsons takes some beating.

0:28:38 > 0:28:42His final run was an emotional roller coaster.

0:28:42 > 0:28:44Beginning in bronze position, his supporters, including

0:28:44 > 0:28:51parents Judith and David, were starting to dream.

0:28:51 > 0:28:52Nikita Tregubov's time.

0:28:52 > 0:28:55But...

0:28:55 > 0:28:58Slower by a mere two hundredths of a second.

0:28:58 > 0:29:03Can you believe it?

0:29:03 > 0:29:07Well it will be an agonising wait now for Dom Parsons.

0:29:07 > 0:29:11In second place, but with two more athletes still to go, has he done

0:29:11 > 0:29:16enough for an Olympic medal?

0:29:16 > 0:29:17Well it seemed unlikely.

0:29:17 > 0:29:20Next to go, Martins Dukurs, the world champion.

0:29:20 > 0:29:24But, against the odds, he faltered, and Parsons was gifted

0:29:24 > 0:29:27a glorious reprieve.

0:29:27 > 0:29:30Parsons unbelievably has his medal!

0:29:30 > 0:29:34From despair to delight in the blink of an eye.

0:29:34 > 0:29:40I thought I had lost it and made a couple too many

0:29:40 > 0:29:42mistakes in that run.

0:29:42 > 0:29:45But, Martins made more mistakes, and he was the last person I thought

0:29:45 > 0:29:47would make those mistakes.

0:29:47 > 0:29:48For his parents, meanwhile, the relief and pride

0:29:48 > 0:29:53were overwhelming.

0:29:53 > 0:29:55Gosh, he has earned it.

0:29:55 > 0:29:56The last 11 years, he has dedicated

0:29:56 > 0:29:58his life to skeleton.

0:29:58 > 0:30:03How proud are you feeling right now?

0:30:03 > 0:30:04I could not be prouder.

0:30:04 > 0:30:08And here is the proof.

0:30:08 > 0:30:13The sweetest of family reunions.

0:30:13 > 0:30:16For Dom Parsons, the perfect ending to a day of emotion and elation.

0:30:16 > 0:30:24Andy Swiss, BBC News, Pyeongchang.

0:30:25 > 0:30:29The women's event is under way with defending champion Lizzy Yarnold

0:30:29 > 0:30:33setting a new track record in the first run and also Laura Deas

0:30:33 > 0:30:38impressing in her second and they sit third and fourth going into the

0:30:38 > 0:30:42third and fourth runs, which concludes tomorrow, on what could be

0:30:42 > 0:30:47a Super Saturday for Great Britain with medal opportunities in the

0:30:47 > 0:30:53short track speed skating with Elise Christie and freestyle skiing with

0:30:53 > 0:30:56Izzy Atkin.Jane. Thank you. That brought tears to my eyes.

0:30:56 > 0:30:57Time for a look at the weather.

0:30:57 > 0:30:58Here's Stav Danaos.

0:30:58 > 0:31:01Here's Stav Danaos.

0:31:01 > 0:31:05It is another cold start this morning but to compensate, a lot of

0:31:05 > 0:31:10sunshine across the UK and this glorious pictures sent in by a

0:31:10 > 0:31:15weather watcher in Leicestershire. For the weekend, subtle changes with

0:31:15 > 0:31:20Saturday pretty similar to today. Then turning mild on Sunday with

0:31:20 > 0:31:24more cloud and outbreaks of rain. Starting with clear skies this

0:31:24 > 0:31:30morning but looking at cloud rolling in from the west. It looks like

0:31:30 > 0:31:32conditions will go downhill in Northern Ireland and into western

0:31:32 > 0:31:37Scotland and eventually western fringes of Great Britain as we head

0:31:37 > 0:31:43into the afternoon. Central, southern and eastern parts will hold

0:31:43 > 0:31:48onto sunshine and stay dry and feeling mild in the south but cold

0:31:48 > 0:31:52in the north. The breeze will pick up as the weather front moves in and

0:31:52 > 0:31:57brings rain and hill snow to Scotland and maybe the far north of

0:31:57 > 0:32:01England. They few centimetres of setting snow in Scotland and the

0:32:01 > 0:32:08Pennines. Clear skies in the east. Not as cold further west because we

0:32:08 > 0:32:14have cloud and rain. The weather front will remain to start Saturday.

0:32:14 > 0:32:19Central areas will have cloud and outbreaks of rain, which moves

0:32:19 > 0:32:23eastwards, so there could be showers in Central and eastern England also

0:32:23 > 0:32:28showers in western Scotland could be heavy. That said, a lot of sunshine

0:32:28 > 0:32:34and it should be pleasant. The winds falling light. Between seven and 11

0:32:34 > 0:32:40degrees in the South. You will notice the temperature difference on

0:32:40 > 0:32:46Sunday. This feature moving in from the Atlantic. It is a warm front and

0:32:46 > 0:32:51will have warmer air behind it, so introducing cloud and rain. But

0:32:51 > 0:32:55notice the colours pushing in, initially to Northern Ireland and

0:32:55 > 0:33:00then the rest of the country. Early brightness we could seek early on

0:33:00 > 0:33:05Sunday in eastern parts. Western areas starting cloudy and damp. That

0:33:05 > 0:33:09will move to all parts of the afternoon. Claudio Bravo western

0:33:09 > 0:33:14hills. The temperature is 9-11, or 12 degrees. Holding onto the mild

0:33:14 > 0:33:21weather for the start of next week. Rain at first but then things will

0:33:21 > 0:33:24turn brighter and there is a potential for things to be colder by

0:33:24 > 0:33:25the end of the week.

0:33:25 > 0:33:27potential for things to be colder by the end of the week. Stay tuned to

0:33:27 > 0:33:29the weather. Thank you.

0:33:29 > 0:33:31A reminder of our main story this lunchtime...

0:33:31 > 0:33:34A candlelit vigil has been held to remember the 17 people killed

0:33:34 > 0:33:38in the Florida high school shooting.

0:33:38 > 0:33:39That is all.

0:33:39 > 0:33:47That is all.
