President Trump is to visit

Florida to pay his respects

0:00:060:00:08

to the students and teachers killed

in the high school shooting.

0:00:080:00:13

A candlelit vigil has been held

for the victims of the shooting.

0:00:130:00:16

Some of those attending

chanted, "No more guns."

0:00:160:00:20

Knowing that everything

has been cleaned up,

0:00:200:00:24

like I was saying, you can't...

0:00:240:00:26

You can almost imagine

just blood on the walls,

0:00:260:00:29

bodies on the floor.

0:00:290:00:31

No one's going to be able to walk

through that building, no one.

0:00:310:00:36

We'll have the latest from Florida.

0:00:360:00:39

Also this lunchtime:

0:00:390:00:40

A dramatic fall in home ownership -

new figures show only one in four

0:00:400:00:43

young people on middle incomes

succeed in buying a property.

0:00:430:00:51

Oxfam International announces

a comprehensive plan

0:00:520:00:53

and an independent commission

to deal with allegations

0:00:530:00:55

of abuse by its staff.

0:00:550:00:57

And building bridges -

the team from Chester Zoo helping

0:00:570:01:00

the endangered orangutans of Borneo

move around their habitat.

0:01:000:01:08

Is this the wrong that's going to

get Great Britain their first medal

0:01:100:01:14

in these Winter Olympics?

And we'll

have the latest from the Winter

0:01:140:01:21

Olympics in Pyeongchang.

0:01:210:01:22

Listen, I know hundreds of thousands

of people have stayed up.

0:01:220:01:25

I also know from your mum and dad

that great auntie Elsie,

0:01:250:01:28

I think she's 93, she has stayed

up as well.

0:01:280:01:30

Amazing!

0:01:300:01:31

I hope she gets some sleep then.

0:01:310:01:33

And coming up in the

sport on BBC News:

0:01:330:01:35

Defending champion Lizzie Yarnold

defends a slender lead

0:01:350:01:37

in the second run of the

women's skeleton in Pyeongchang.

0:01:370:01:43

Welcome to the BBC News at one.

President Trump with later today

0:02:090:02:12

visit the scene of the Florida high

school shooting, which left 17

0:02:120:02:15

people dead. Police say the shooter

has confessed.

0:02:150:02:23

The FBI has admitted

it received a tip-off

0:02:230:02:25

about Nikolas Cruz last year.

0:02:250:02:28

Social media accounts show the

19-year-old posing with guns and

0:02:280:02:34

knives. Thousands of people attended

a candlelit vigil in Florida.

0:02:340:02:37

They came to mourn the lives lost

and the live scarred

0:02:370:02:40

by this senseless attack.

0:02:400:02:41

Neighbours, friends and the students

of Stoneman Douglas High comforted

0:02:410:02:44

one another as best they could.

0:02:440:02:51

Jet was among the students

who ran in the panic once

0:02:510:02:54

the first shots were fired.

0:02:540:02:56

He doesn't know if he can handle

returning to the halls

0:02:560:02:59

where his classmates' lives

were cut short.

0:02:590:03:00

I don't know if I'll be able to just

cope with walking through the bottom

0:03:000:03:08

floor of the freshman building,

knowing that everything

0:03:080:03:10

has been cleaned up.

0:03:100:03:11

You can almost imagine

just blood on the walls,

0:03:110:03:14

bodies on the floor.

0:03:140:03:17

No one is going to be able to walk

through that building.

0:03:170:03:22

No one.

0:03:220:03:23

All 17 victims have

now been identified.

0:03:230:03:26

Among them talented students,

star athletes and Aaron Feis,

0:03:260:03:29

a beloved football coach

and security guard.

0:03:290:03:32

He has been called a hero

for shielding children

0:03:320:03:34

from the gunman's bullets.

0:03:340:03:38

Nikolas Cruz appeared in court

briefly on 17 charges

0:03:380:03:40

of premeditated murder.

0:03:400:03:42

His lawyer said he was sad

and remorseful and described him

0:03:420:03:44

as a broken human being.

0:03:440:03:48

The Sheriff's Office said

he confessed to opening fire

0:03:480:03:50

on his former school.

0:03:500:03:53

He told authorities he bought

a drink at Subway and stopped

0:03:530:03:56

at McDonald's after the rampage.

0:03:560:03:59

On social media, Cruz

often posed with guns.

0:03:590:04:02

And, in one post, he wrote he would

be a professional school shooter.

0:04:020:04:06

Those who knew him were troubled

by his behaviour.

0:04:060:04:10

I saw him in the backyard and he had

like a, I wouldn't say a BB gun,

0:04:100:04:14

I wasn't exactly sure.

0:04:140:04:16

And I was pretty young

so I told my mom and I said,

0:04:160:04:20

Mom, it looks like he is

shooting at something.

0:04:200:04:22

And the people who are behind us

have chickens and he was shooting

0:04:220:04:26

at the chickens, so my

mom called the cops.

0:04:260:04:29

He would steal other

neighbours' mail.

0:04:290:04:30

The cops were always at his house.

0:04:300:04:38

He hid my car one time and we went

to go and find out who did it

0:04:380:04:43

and he was hiding under a bush

and he started pelting eggs at my

0:04:430:04:46

friend and we were chasing him down.

0:04:460:04:48

He has just always

been causing trouble.

0:04:480:04:50

These terrifying scenes of students

completely helpless and trembling

0:04:500:04:52

with fear have shaken the nation.

0:04:520:04:53

And they have reignited

the debate on gun control.

0:04:530:04:55

People here are in a state of shock

that someone in their own community

0:04:550:04:59

could be capable of such killing,

and that their city now joins

0:04:590:05:02

the long list of America's

school shooting tragedies.

0:05:020:05:05

The President said he

plans to visit soon.

0:05:050:05:06

Never one to shy away

from controversial decisions

0:05:060:05:09

in the name of safety and security

for Americans, many wonder

0:05:090:05:14

if he will come with new ideas,

and if he will remain silent

0:05:140:05:17

on gun control.

0:05:170:05:19

And Nada is in Parkland

in Florida now.

0:05:190:05:26

The team unity has been through such

a trauma. -- the community. What

0:05:270:05:33

more people saying, what do they

want done?

You know, it's

0:05:330:05:39

extraordinary to hear from these

students, who speak so eloquently

0:05:390:05:43

and with such passion, and you heard

very clearly from them, and I've

0:05:430:05:48

spoken to some students at that

vigil, and from parents as well.

0:05:480:05:51

They say they don't want to just be

another number. They are OK that

0:05:510:05:57

videos of them showed them in some

of the most emotional states they've

0:05:570:06:00

ever been in Arsene cross-country,

because they want people to

0:06:000:06:07

understand what gun violence looks

like. They say they want changes

0:06:070:06:10

made. The majority of Americans in

this country agree that there needs

0:06:100:06:14

to be better background checks for

people with mental health, that they

0:06:140:06:19

shouldn't have access to guns, that

there should be greater bans on

0:06:190:06:23

automatic weapons, and yet in

Congress there is this divide, and

0:06:230:06:27

the country is more divided than

ever on this issue. When you hear

0:06:270:06:29

from people here, they say, despite

people in Washington being stuck on

0:06:290:06:36

this issue, they hope around the

nation, there is some rallying for

0:06:360:06:38

people to push for change.

0:06:380:06:41

The number of young people in the UK

who own their own home has fallen

0:06:410:06:45

dramatically over the last 20 years.

0:06:450:06:46

Research by the Institute

for Fiscal Studies shows

0:06:460:06:48

that the proportion of middle-income

earners aged 25 to 34

0:06:480:06:52

who own a property dropped over that

period from two-thirds

0:06:520:06:55

to just over a quarter.

0:06:550:07:00

Our personal finance correspondent,

Simon Gompertz, reports.

0:07:000:07:04

I've been living here

a couple of years now.

0:07:040:07:06

Aged 30, keen to buy,

but shut out of the market.

0:07:060:07:12

So this is my room.

0:07:120:07:13

Tom Bourlet says renting here

in Brighton is money down the drain.

0:07:130:07:17

But the house prices beyond him.

0:07:170:07:20

It's completely out of reach.

0:07:200:07:22

There is not a chance I will be

able to get the deposit.

0:07:220:07:25

It's such a cost and with utility

bills, with the cost

0:07:250:07:28

of trains going to London,

with my rent prices,

0:07:280:07:31

it is just unachievable.

0:07:310:07:32

And my friends, they are all around

the same age and none of us

0:07:320:07:35

are on the property ladder yet.

0:07:350:07:37

The Institute for Fiscal Studies

looked at young people aged 25

0:07:370:07:40

to 34 on middle-incomes,

at the moment, between 22,000

0:07:400:07:44

and 30,000 for a household

after tax - in most cases,

0:07:440:07:48

couples with children.

0:07:480:07:52

Two decades ago, 65%

of those on middle incomes

0:07:520:07:55

owned their own homes.

0:07:550:07:57

That's dropped to just 27%.

0:07:570:08:04

Most of the rest are forced to rent.

0:08:040:08:06

The huge increase in house prices

is the reason why it has

0:08:060:08:09

become so difficult.

0:08:090:08:10

20 years ago, a young

family would need four

0:08:100:08:12

times their income in order to buy.

0:08:120:08:14

Now, it's more like eight times, so,

for increasing numbers,

0:08:140:08:17

buying a home is just a nonstarter.

0:08:170:08:23

The Government's Help To Buy scheme

is helping people afford more,

0:08:230:08:25

particularly new homes,

and first-time buyers have

0:08:250:08:27

had their stamp duty cut.

0:08:270:08:31

But the problem is

also one of supply.

0:08:310:08:35

Councils complain that developers

are sitting on planning permission

0:08:350:08:38

for more than 400,000 homes that

haven't been built, and that is

0:08:380:08:41

aggravating the shortage.

0:08:410:08:42

It's really hard to see how

we can make this better

0:08:420:08:48

when we are still seeing huge demand

for housing and that housing

0:08:480:08:51

demand is not being met

with the right number of houses.

0:08:510:08:53

So I think it is all coming down

to the individual now.

0:08:530:08:56

They are having to make

the choices, they are having

0:08:560:08:59

to decide for themselves -

do I want to rent and have

0:08:590:09:02

the flexibility but pay more for it,

or do I want to make a lot

0:09:020:09:05

of difficult decisions and get

on the housing ladder sooner?

0:09:050:09:12

My mum always says she got

on the property ladder around 25,

0:09:120:09:15

26, and she tells me the deposit

price and how cheap it was.

0:09:150:09:22

Tom is aggrieved he is missing out -

part of a generation

0:09:220:09:25

in which most people,

like it or not, are

0:09:250:09:27

stuck with renting.

0:09:270:09:28

Simon Gompertz, BBC News, Brighton.

0:09:280:09:29

The head of Oxfam International has

announced what she's calling

0:09:290:09:32

a comprehensive plan,

including an independent commission

0:09:320:09:33

to deal with claims of abuse

involving its staff.

0:09:330:09:36

Winnie Byanyima said the revelations

of sexual misconduct

0:09:360:09:38

in Haiti and other countries

were a stain on the charity that

0:09:380:09:41

will shame it for years.

0:09:410:09:46

Our diplomatic correspondent,

James Landale, reports.

0:09:460:09:53

The earthquake that struck in 2010

reduced much of a teaser rubble. But

0:09:530:09:57

the after-shock is still being felt

by Oxfam. -- reduced much of Haiti.

0:09:570:10:08

Oxfam's global head said sorry for

the sexual exploitation carried out

0:10:080:10:14

by some staff from Haiti, something

she told me she only found out that

0:10:140:10:17

last week.

Anyone who is being

attacked him -- a victim of abuse, I

0:10:170:10:24

want them to come forward we will

atone for the past. Right now,

0:10:240:10:29

thousands of Oxfam staff are doing

the right thing in the most

0:10:290:10:33

dangerous places in the world.

She's

promising Tavernier checks on staff

0:10:330:10:39

references, three times more money

spent on internal safeguarding, and

0:10:390:10:43

a new arm's-length commission to

investigate Oxfam's handling of past

0:10:430:10:47

cases.

Members of this commission

will be well respected, well-known,

0:10:470:10:54

experienced women's rights leaders,

or human rights leaders.

Isn't that

0:10:540:11:01

going to be seen as marking your own

homework? If you are paying for

0:11:010:11:07

this?

They will be women and men of

integrity, who will facilitate a job

0:11:070:11:13

for us. They will make their own

plan.

She couldn't guarantee there

0:11:130:11:19

were no sexual predators still

looking for Oxfam, but she said more

0:11:190:11:22

staff would be found accountable if

they are found to have mishandled

0:11:220:11:27

past cases.

What hurts me most is

that, out there in Haiti or another

0:11:270:11:32

country, there are some who are

women who are abused and you haven't

0:11:320:11:37

received justice. For me, to deliver

justice for those people is more

0:11:370:11:43

important than, say, the reputation

of Oxfam. These will be women and

0:11:430:11:47

men of integrity, who will

facilitate to do a job for us. They

0:11:470:11:54

will make their own plan. They will

make their own timetable. And we

0:11:540:12:00

will just support them to ensure

they give us their independent

0:12:000:12:06

report.

But this problem isn't

limited to charities and United

0:12:060:12:11

Nations agencies and peacekeepers

have faced similar accusations of

0:12:110:12:15

sexual misconduct, and the

organisation's Secretary-General, he

0:12:150:12:20

promised he would take action.

This

is an important battle which will

0:12:200:12:24

not be won in two or three days. We

need consistent commitment to gender

0:12:240:12:29

parity, gender equality and at the

same time, reduction of sexual

0:12:290:12:35

harassment.

What went on in Haiti

has cost Oxfam trust, money and

0:12:350:12:42

celebrity ambassadors, but it's

shone a spotlight on an industry

0:12:420:12:46

which until now has kept much of its

behaviour in the shadows.

0:12:460:12:49

Theresa May is in Berlin to discuss

the impact of Brexit on security.

0:12:490:12:52

She meets Chancellor Angela Merkel

this afternoon, in advance

0:12:520:12:55

of a speech in which she's expected

to set out what sort of security

0:12:550:12:58

partnership she wants with the EU

after the UK leaves.

0:12:580:13:03

Let's speak to Berlin

correspondent Jenny Hill.

0:13:030:13:11

This is always an important topic,

Jenny, the issue of security, but

0:13:120:13:16

it's striking that this comes as the

heads of a number of security

0:13:160:13:20

agencies come together to talk about

this issue.

Quite right, the head of

0:13:200:13:27

MI6 and the French and German

intelligence agencies have just made

0:13:270:13:31

an unprecedented joint appearance at

the Munich security conference,

0:13:310:13:35

where they emphasised the importance

of international cooperation on

0:13:350:13:37

security, even once Britain has left

the EU. That's a sentiment you can

0:13:370:13:45

expect to be echoed by Theresa May

when she visits first of all Angela

0:13:450:13:49

Merkel in Burlington, and then

addresses the security conference in

0:13:490:13:52

Munich tomorrow. Her visit here is,

I think, eagerly anticipated, and

0:13:520:13:59

that's because, behind the scenes,

there is a degree of frustration in

0:13:590:14:03

Berlin. Earlier this week, the

German government said in no

0:14:030:14:06

uncertain terms that it was high

time Britain firmed up its plans for

0:14:060:14:11

Brexit, making the point that the

clock is ticking. In effect, it's

0:14:110:14:15

time to tell the EU what Britain

wants. I think you can expect Angela

0:14:150:14:19

Merkel to hammer that point home she

meets Mrs May. An interesting

0:14:190:14:25

meeting, both leaders promising

their country is stable governments,

0:14:250:14:28

and both women are struggling.

Angela Merkel is somewhat weakened

0:14:280:14:33

domestically, still trying to forge

a new government, but whatever shape

0:14:330:14:37

that government takes, however weak,

Germany's position isn't going to

0:14:370:14:44

change. Access to the single market

for Britain means taking on freedom

0:14:440:14:49

of movement in Berlin will continue

to insist there will be no cherry

0:14:490:14:52

picking for the UK.

0:14:520:14:56

Men who were abused by Barry Bennell

when he was a youth football coach

0:14:560:14:59

have told the BBC they'll be seeking

compensation from the clubs he was

0:14:590:15:02

with when he committed the crimes.

0:15:020:15:05

Yesterday, Bennell was found guilty

of another seven counts of sexually

0:15:050:15:07

abusing boys.

0:15:070:15:08

He's now been convicted

of 43 offences

0:15:080:15:11

between 1979 and 1990.

0:15:110:15:14

Our sports correspondent,

Richard Conway, reports.

0:15:140:15:21

No child should suffer

the way we did.

0:15:210:15:25

For the survivors of Barry Bennell's

reign of abuse, the pain and memory

0:15:250:15:28

of their ordeals will never fade.

0:15:280:15:34

They are left instead to reflect

on how one of Britain's most

0:15:340:15:37

prolific paedophiles was allowed

to get away with his

0:15:370:15:39

crimes for so long.

0:15:390:15:40

He got away with it

because he was so good

0:15:400:15:43

at what he did in terms of football.

0:15:430:15:45

His ability and skills.

0:15:450:15:46

He groomed the parents.

0:15:460:15:48

A perfect storm, almost.

0:15:480:15:51

Until we grew into men and stood

up to him and put him

0:15:510:15:54

where he should be now.

0:15:540:15:58

Speaking today, some of those

subjected to Barry Bennell's abuse

0:15:580:16:01

said they will now pursue civil

claims against the club

0:16:010:16:07

--clubs connected to the case -

Crewe Alexandra and Manchester City.

0:16:070:16:10

He ruined my life.

0:16:100:16:12

If there is any compensation

or damages, of course

0:16:120:16:14

I am going to take it.

0:16:140:16:15

I do want an apology

to start off with.

0:16:150:16:18

From Bennell?

0:16:180:16:19

From the clubs he was involved with.

0:16:190:16:22

Yes, he has ruined my life.

0:16:220:16:23

Should I get something for it?

0:16:230:16:25

I think I should.

0:16:250:16:29

With hundreds of potential victims,

it could prove costly

0:16:290:16:32

to the clubs involved.

0:16:320:16:33

We need to consider the impact

on their lives, potential

0:16:330:16:36

psychiatric and physical injuries

they have suffered,

0:16:360:16:38

looking at potential

therapy costs for them,

0:16:380:16:40

their children, their partners.

0:16:400:16:43

And also looking at the lost

prospects in respect

0:16:430:16:46

of education and employment

as professional footballers.

0:16:460:16:48

Meanwhile, in a statement,

Crewe Alexandra said...

0:16:480:16:55

But one former director said

he warned senior officials

0:17:030:17:09

about Bennell's relationship

with young boys in the late 1980s,

0:17:090:17:12

but the coach was allowed

to stay in his job.

0:17:120:17:16

There was so much banter around

the dressing rooms and around

0:17:160:17:19

the football club about it.

0:17:190:17:20

You know, odd remarks getting

made here and there.

0:17:200:17:23

If you did not know about it,

God knows where you were.

0:17:230:17:26

You weren't at Crewe.

0:17:260:17:28

Dario, will you stop and answer

questions for the BBC?

0:17:280:17:31

Do you have a message

for the victims?

0:17:310:17:34

Dario Gradi, Crewe's former manager

and the man who brought Bennell

0:17:340:17:37

to the club has said previously

he knew nothing about the abuse

0:17:370:17:41

and has maintained a silence

on the issue this week.

0:17:410:17:45

Barry Bennell will be sentenced

on Monday and is facing

0:17:450:17:48

the prospect of facing the rest

of his life in prison.

0:17:480:17:51

This particular case may be over,

but the questions continue.

0:17:510:17:59

Here at Manchester City, one the

club is connected to Barry Bennell,

0:18:030:18:10

say they have heartfelt sympathy to

all victims, what they call the

0:18:100:18:13

unimaginable

0:18:130:18:20

unimaginable tragic experiences they

have had.

0:18:200:18:26

have had.

Barry Bennell, the other

they say is a man called John

0:18:260:18:35

Broome, they say is deceased, but

nevertheless those investigations

0:18:350:18:38

continue. The numbers involved since

a number of former players came

0:18:380:18:46

forward and gave testimony and spoke

of their stories, a staggering 294

0:18:460:18:52

suspects across Britain, 839 alleged

victims of historical child sexual

0:18:520:18:57

abuse in football. The FA, the

Football Association looking into

0:18:570:19:01

its past and seeing what it knew and

when, half a million documents under

0:19:010:19:07

review. The Barry Bennell case may

be done for now but the questions

0:19:070:19:11

and scrutiny for football will

continue.

Thank you.

0:19:110:19:14

Our top story this lunchtime:

0:19:140:19:19

A candlelit vigil has been held to

remember the 17 people killed in the

0:19:190:19:23

Florida high school shooting. Coming

up on the programme, how harmful

0:19:230:19:29

could cleaning products be?

Scientists claim they are a

0:19:290:19:34

contributor to air pollution. Coming

up in sport, the new Scotland

0:19:340:19:43

manager is confirmed. A deal until

2020, 11 years after leaving the job

0:19:430:19:47

for the first time.

0:19:470:19:52

For people suffering lung problems

there's often an anxious wait

0:19:520:19:55

for the test samples to be analysed.

0:19:550:19:58

Now an international team

of scientists, including

0:19:580:20:00

some from Edinburgh,

have developed

0:20:000:20:02

a probe that goes inside the lung.

0:20:020:20:05

The probe can find and identify

an infection for the first time.

0:20:050:20:08

Details have been unveiled

in Austin, Texas,

0:20:080:20:10

from where our science correspondent

Pallab Ghosh sent this report.

0:20:100:20:14

Shrunk down to microscopic surmise,

a submarine team in the 1960s movie

0:20:140:20:21

Shrunk down to microscopic size,

a submarine team in the 1960s movie

0:20:210:20:25

Fantastic Voyage enter the body

of a patient to find

0:20:250:20:27

the source of his illness.

0:20:270:20:31

Can you see at captain?

0:20:310:20:34

Yes, I see it now.

0:20:340:20:36

50 years on, inspired by that film,

doctors in Edinburgh are sending

0:20:360:20:39

a probe inside a patient's lung.

0:20:390:20:41

Journeying through the tiny airways,

they come across bacteria,

0:20:410:20:43

which you can see in white.

0:20:430:20:47

The bacteria have been sprayed

with a chemical that makes them

0:20:470:20:50

visible when light is shone on them.

0:20:500:20:53

It's the very first time it's been

possible to see infection

0:20:530:20:56

inside the human body.

0:20:560:20:59

The real advantage here

is we are imaging and detecting

0:20:590:21:01

where the disease is in

the patient's lungs.

0:21:010:21:06

And we are giving a diagnosis

or decision-making power

0:21:060:21:08

within minutes or seconds.

0:21:080:21:09

That's a big difference.

0:21:090:21:12

The team are using it to test

if critically ill people

0:21:120:21:15

are developing pneumonia.

0:21:150:21:17

Patients in intensive care are given

powerful antibiotics

0:21:170:21:20

as a matter of course,

just in case they

0:21:200:21:22

develop an infection.

0:21:220:21:25

That there is a huge downside -

complications can arise,

0:21:250:21:29

and it's thought tens of thousands

of people worldwide die as a result.

0:21:290:21:33

There is a huge overuse of

antibiotics in intensive care units.

0:21:330:21:39

Clinicians simply do not

have the answers at their fingertips

0:21:390:21:43

when they are administering

broad-spectrum antibiotics,

0:21:430:21:47

but this technology could give

them more information

0:21:470:21:49

about what they are trying to treat.

0:21:490:21:53

The same technique is also

being used in Texas to develop

0:21:530:21:55

a new test for malaria.

0:21:550:22:00

The scientists shine a light

on a blood sample and,

0:22:000:22:03

straightaway, they can see

if a patient is infected.

0:22:030:22:06

You can transmit it,

if you need a doctor

0:22:060:22:08

or clinician's input.

0:22:080:22:09

The aim is to shrink the setup

to the size of an iPad,

0:22:090:22:12

so it can be used in poor

and remote areas.

0:22:120:22:15

The main global need

is the diagnosis of

0:22:150:22:17

malaria in the field.

0:22:170:22:19

It will have a huge impact,

particularly for infants

0:22:190:22:23

and the elderly, who are dying

at a tremendous rate

0:22:230:22:26

in these underserved areas.

0:22:260:22:27

Perhaps, as Hollywood predicted,

very soon miniature probes

0:22:270:22:29

will be able to locate,

identify and treat a wide

0:22:290:22:34

range of diseases.

0:22:340:22:36

Pallab Ghosh, BBC

News, Austin, Texas.

0:22:360:22:41

Scientists in the United States say

that chemicals in many household

0:22:410:22:45

products are now a key contributor

to city air pollution,

0:22:450:22:48

rivalling some vehicle emissions.

0:22:480:22:54

The study

0:22:540:22:55

focussed on so-called volatile

organic compounds found in products

0:22:550:22:58

such as cleaning fluids and paints,

our Environment Analyst Roger

0:22:580:23:01

Harrabin is with me.

0:23:010:23:05

And can explain more. You better

have and explain what sort of

0:23:050:23:08

problem we are looking at.

These

compounds typically have been

0:23:080:23:13

noticed to be coming from cars,

based on oil based products on when

0:23:130:23:17

they turn into gases they combine to

form particles that can be breathed

0:23:170:23:23

deep into the lungs. Car-makers have

been under pressure to clear up the

0:23:230:23:28

organic compounds and have done so

successfully with catalytic

0:23:280:23:33

converters and better engine design

but as the amount of these have

0:23:330:23:38

dropped, so the amount of those from

other things in the household have

0:23:380:23:43

stayed the same or grown so

relatively in looks bigger and now

0:23:430:23:48

concentration, looking at pates,

perfumes, detergents, the sorts of

0:23:480:23:53

things you might smell and taste at

the back of your throat can form

0:23:530:23:56

harmful particles inside your home.

All of that said, is it also fair to

0:23:560:24:02

say we react to things differently

and not everyone will have that

0:24:020:24:07

reaction?

That is true. There is

another study coincidently from

0:24:070:24:10

Norway showing among a group of

cleaners, they suffered lung damage

0:24:100:24:18

similar to if they had been smoking.

That does apply generally and more

0:24:180:24:23

specifically you will know that you

go somewhere and somebody will say

0:24:230:24:28

that air freshener in the car is

terrible, I have to open the window

0:24:280:24:31

and you say what air freshener? Or I

cannot stand that perfume, oh, I

0:24:310:24:37

think it is lovely. People react

differently and it makes it

0:24:370:24:41

difficult to work out the rules

about this sort of thing. I think we

0:24:410:24:45

are moving into a more simplified

age. We

0:24:450:24:53

age. We know we have to use fewer

types of plastic and I suspect we

0:24:530:24:56

will have more fragrance free

detergents as we move into the

0:24:560:24:58

future.

0:24:580:24:59

A team from Chester Zoo is trying

to halt a massive fall

0:24:590:25:02

in the number of orangutans

on the island of Borneo.

0:25:020:25:04

A study has found

that within 16 years,

0:25:040:25:06

the population there has halved.

0:25:060:25:08

The researchers said

that while deforestation

0:25:080:25:11

was partly to blame,

a large number of the animals

0:25:110:25:14

were being killed by hunters

or as punishment for raiding crops.

0:25:140:25:17

Victoria Gill reports.

0:25:170:25:18

Hanging onto survival.

0:25:180:25:22

Zoo programmes like this

preserve small populations

0:25:220:25:24

of Bornean orangutans.

0:25:240:25:27

But, in the wild, they are being

pushed rapidly towards extinction.

0:25:270:25:30

Their rainforest home

continues to be cleared

0:25:300:25:38

for agriculture and mining,

but a 16-year-long study has now

0:25:390:25:41

revealed that Borneo's orangutans

are disappearing from areas

0:25:410:25:43

where the forest is untouched.

0:25:430:25:44

They are being targeted by hunters.

0:25:440:25:47

Even in the areas where we think

they're safe, we are losing them.

0:25:470:25:50

And in some of the large populations

where we have measured this loss,

0:25:500:25:53

it's 50% over 16 years.

0:25:530:25:57

It is an astonishing decline

at the population level.

0:25:570:25:59

Even without animals

being deliberately killed,

0:25:590:26:03

scientists estimate that

deforestation alone could wipe out

0:26:030:26:06

another 45,000 orangutans

here in the next three decades.

0:26:060:26:13

But this bridge-building project

is a much-needed sign of hope.

0:26:130:26:17

Where the forest is fragmented

by agricultural drainage ditches,

0:26:170:26:21

a team from Chester Zoo

and the Malaysian charity Hutan

0:26:210:26:25

is physically reconnecting it

with tough polyester straps.

0:26:250:26:30

This remarkable footage captured

by a tourist is the project's

0:26:300:26:32

first sign of success.

0:26:320:26:38

When these animals use their arms,

they move around, they move that

0:26:380:26:42

height, they swing in the forest

canopy and that's what they

0:26:420:26:44

rely on in the wild.

0:26:440:26:48

The zoo has learned from that

to build bridges that

0:26:480:26:51

will reconnect that habitat,

just like the ones

0:26:510:26:53

in the zoo enclosure.

0:26:530:26:54

To actually see them using them

and moving more freely

0:26:540:26:57

across this habitat,

that is so fragmented,

0:26:570:26:59

is a really positive sign.

0:26:590:27:02

This is very much

a short-term solution.

0:27:020:27:04

The long-term solution

is to reforest the area.

0:27:040:27:08

Palm oil grown here makes its way

into a huge variety of our food

0:27:080:27:12

and other products,

so conservationists are urging us

0:27:120:27:15

consumers to check it's

sourced sustainably.

0:27:150:27:18

Our choices, scientists say,

could decide whether there

0:27:180:27:20

is a future for these

critically endangered apes.

0:27:200:27:22

Victoria Gill, BBC News.

0:27:220:27:30

He's known as the Wizard -

now Dom Parsons is celebrating

0:27:300:27:33

the magic of winning Team GB's first

medal at the Winter Olympics.

0:27:330:27:37

The 30-year-old, who was classed

as an outsider, took

0:27:370:27:40

bronze in the skeleton.

0:27:400:27:45

And now all hopes are pinned

on the women carrying

0:27:450:27:47

on their winning ways in the event.

0:27:470:27:51

2014 gold medallist Lizzy Yarnold

is aiming to become the first

0:27:510:27:53

British athlete to successfully

defend a Winter Olympic title.

0:27:530:27:56

Our sports correspondent

David Ornstein is in Pyeongchang.

0:27:560:28:00

David. Britain arrived in South

Korea with a target of making it the

0:28:000:28:09

most successful ever Winter Olympics

but despite record levels of

0:28:090:28:13

funding, after six days of

competition, it was a story of

0:28:130:28:18

disappointment and they will yet to

set foot on a podium but today in

0:28:180:28:22

dramatic fashion, the weight came to

an end as my colleague Andy Swiss

0:28:220:28:25

reports.

0:28:250:28:29

From a 100-1 outsider

to Olympic medallist.

0:28:290:28:34

In a sport of eventful journeys,

Dom Parsons takes some beating.

0:28:340:28:38

His final run was an

emotional roller coaster.

0:28:380:28:42

Beginning in bronze position,

his supporters, including

0:28:420:28:44

parents Judith and David,

were starting to dream.

0:28:440:28:51

Nikita Tregubov's time.

0:28:510:28:52

But...

0:28:520:28:55

Slower by a mere two

hundredths of a second.

0:28:550:28:58

Can you believe it?

0:28:580:29:03

Well it will be an agonising wait

now for Dom Parsons.

0:29:030:29:07

In second place, but with two more

athletes still to go, has he done

0:29:070:29:11

enough for an Olympic medal?

0:29:110:29:16

Well it seemed unlikely.

0:29:160:29:17

Next to go, Martins Dukurs,

the world champion.

0:29:170:29:20

But, against the odds, he faltered,

and Parsons was gifted

0:29:200:29:24

a glorious reprieve.

0:29:240:29:27

Parsons unbelievably has his medal!

0:29:270:29:30

From despair to delight

in the blink of an eye.

0:29:300:29:34

I thought I had lost it

and made a couple too many

0:29:340:29:40

mistakes in that run.

0:29:400:29:42

But, Martins made more mistakes,

and he was the last person I thought

0:29:420:29:45

would make those mistakes.

0:29:450:29:47

For his parents, meanwhile,

the relief and pride

0:29:470:29:48

were overwhelming.

0:29:480:29:53

Gosh, he has earned it.

0:29:530:29:55

The last 11 years, he has dedicated

0:29:550:29:56

his life to skeleton.

0:29:560:29:58

How proud are you feeling right now?

0:29:580:30:03

I could not be prouder.

0:30:030:30:04

And here is the proof.

0:30:040:30:08

The sweetest of family reunions.

0:30:080:30:13

For Dom Parsons, the perfect ending

to a day of emotion and elation.

0:30:130:30:16

Andy Swiss, BBC News, Pyeongchang.

0:30:160:30:24

The women's event is under way with

defending champion Lizzy Yarnold

0:30:250:30:29

setting a new track record in the

first run and also Laura Deas

0:30:290:30:33

impressing in her second and they

sit third and fourth going into the

0:30:330:30:38

third and fourth runs, which

concludes tomorrow, on what could be

0:30:380:30:42

a Super Saturday for Great Britain

with medal opportunities in the

0:30:420:30:47

short track speed skating with Elise

Christie and freestyle skiing with

0:30:470:30:53

Izzy Atkin.

Jane. Thank you. That

brought tears to my eyes.

0:30:530:30:56

Time for a look at the weather.

0:30:560:30:57

Here's Stav Danaos.

0:30:570:30:58

Here's Stav Danaos.

0:30:580:31:01

It is another cold start this

morning but to compensate, a lot of

0:31:010:31:05

sunshine across the UK and this

glorious pictures sent in by a

0:31:050:31:10

weather watcher in Leicestershire.

For the weekend, subtle changes with

0:31:100:31:15

Saturday pretty similar to today.

Then turning mild on Sunday with

0:31:150:31:20

more cloud and outbreaks of rain.

Starting with clear skies this

0:31:200:31:24

morning but looking at cloud rolling

in from the west. It looks like

0:31:240:31:30

conditions will go downhill in

Northern Ireland and into western

0:31:300:31:32

Scotland and eventually western

fringes of Great Britain as we head

0:31:320:31:37

into the afternoon. Central,

southern and eastern parts will hold

0:31:370:31:43

onto sunshine and stay dry and

feeling mild in the south but cold

0:31:430:31:48

in the north. The breeze will pick

up as the weather front moves in and

0:31:480:31:52

brings rain and hill snow to

Scotland and maybe the far north of

0:31:520:31:57

England. They few centimetres of

setting snow in Scotland and the

0:31:570:32:01

Pennines. Clear skies in the east.

Not as cold further west because we

0:32:010:32:08

have cloud and rain. The weather

front will remain to start Saturday.

Central areas will have cloud and

outbreaks of rain, which moves

0:32:140:32:19

eastwards, so there could be showers

in Central and eastern England also

0:32:190:32:23

showers in western Scotland could be

heavy. That said, a lot of sunshine

0:32:230:32:28

and it should be pleasant. The winds

falling light. Between seven and 11

0:32:280:32:34

degrees in the South. You will

notice the temperature difference on

0:32:340:32:40

Sunday. This feature moving in from

the Atlantic. It is a warm front and

0:32:400:32:46

will have warmer air behind it, so

introducing cloud and rain. But

0:32:460:32:51

notice the colours pushing in,

initially to Northern Ireland and

0:32:510:32:55

then the rest of the country. Early

brightness we could seek early on

0:32:550:33:00

Sunday in eastern parts. Western

areas starting cloudy and damp. That

0:33:000:33:05

will move to all parts of the

afternoon. Claudio Bravo western

hills. The temperature is 9-11, or

12 degrees. Holding onto the mild

0:33:090:33:14

weather for the start of next week.

Rain at first but then things will

0:33:140:33:21

turn brighter and there is a

potential for things to be colder by

0:33:210:33:24

the end of the week.
