0:01:30 > 0:01:34Hello, welcome to the news out on.
0:01:34 > 0:01:36There's a crucial meeting this afternoon of the government's
0:01:36 > 0:01:37inner cabinet on Brexit.
0:01:37 > 0:01:40The Prime Minister is holding talks with senior ministers at Chequers,
0:01:40 > 0:01:43in an attempt to secure a common approach on Britain's negotiating
0:01:43 > 0:01:44position with the European Union.
0:01:44 > 0:01:46The meeting begins in an hour, but with significant
0:01:46 > 0:01:48differences to be resolved, it could go on until
0:01:48 > 0:01:49late into the evening.
0:01:49 > 0:01:54Here's our political correspondent, Chris Mason.
0:01:54 > 0:02:01The official country residence of British prime ministers since 1921.
0:02:01 > 0:02:04Checkers in the Buckinghamshire countryside, hosting a meeting of
0:02:04 > 0:02:09the Government's most senior figures involved in making Brexit happen.
0:02:09 > 0:02:15The chance for them to work out what they see our long-term relationship
0:02:15 > 0:02:21with the EU looking like.Questions to the Secretary of State for
0:02:21 > 0:02:24International Trade.Back at Westminster, Brexit dominates
0:02:24 > 0:02:30everything. Liam Fox faced questions this morning, as did the Prime
0:02:30 > 0:02:34Minister's de facto deputy, who tried to talk things down.This is
0:02:34 > 0:02:39one of a number of meetings of Cabinet ministers to talk through
0:02:39 > 0:02:45how we approach the forthcoming negotiations. Obviously everybody
0:02:45 > 0:02:47brings their particular departmental interests to the table but if you
0:02:47 > 0:02:54look at what happened back before the December European summit there
0:02:54 > 0:02:58was a lot of speculation the Cabinet would not reach agreement. We all
0:02:58 > 0:03:01agreed the position the Prime Minister took to Brussels and got a
0:03:01 > 0:03:05successful outcome and we are determined to get the best possible
0:03:05 > 0:03:10deal.But there are continuing rows about precisely how long the
0:03:10 > 0:03:13transition period immediately after Brexit next year should be. And
0:03:13 > 0:03:18crucially there are differences of instinct around the Cabinet table
0:03:18 > 0:03:23about what the UK's long-term relationship with the EU after
0:03:23 > 0:03:27Brexit should look like and those differences won't melt away easily.
0:03:27 > 0:03:33The Prime Minister has got to keep Brexiteer backbenchers onside.The
0:03:33 > 0:03:37Brexit Cabinet all fought the last election on a manifesto of leaving
0:03:37 > 0:03:39the European Union and that's basically what they are talking
0:03:39 > 0:03:44about, the structure as to how we do that. The Prime Minister enunciated
0:03:44 > 0:03:50yesterday the main principles about taking back control of our laws and
0:03:50 > 0:03:55money, leaving the single market and customs union.Labour has faced
0:03:55 > 0:03:59criticism is itself about a lack of clarity about what it wants but is
0:03:59 > 0:04:04now saying...We have been evolving and deepening our policy over the
0:04:04 > 0:04:07last few months. The key issue is to say to the Government you got to
0:04:07 > 0:04:11have the transition period of these two years, but also for the
0:04:11 > 0:04:17long-term look at the potential of a customs union.The cameras won't get
0:04:17 > 0:04:21much closer to checkers than this today. Spectacular views, yes, but
0:04:21 > 0:04:26don't expect spectacular political theatre. The process of negotiating
0:04:26 > 0:04:33Brexit and home -- at home and abroad is a slow and grinding on.
0:04:33 > 0:04:35Our Political Correspondent Alex Forsyth is at Chequers.
0:04:35 > 0:04:41How important is this meeting?
0:04:41 > 0:04:45It is pretty crucial because, as Chris was outlining, the whole point
0:04:45 > 0:04:49of it is to try to get some agreement among Theresa May's top
0:04:49 > 0:04:53team about what the long-term relationship between the UK and the
0:04:53 > 0:04:57EU will be. The tricky aspect of that is trade. The Prime Minister
0:04:57 > 0:05:02has been clear it's her view of the UK will be leaving the single market
0:05:02 > 0:05:05and customs union. The question is what kind of trading relationship
0:05:05 > 0:05:10replaces that and crucially how closely aligned the UK will state of
0:05:10 > 0:05:21the EU with its
0:05:22 > 0:05:25rules and regulations, and what it is prepared to trade off in terms of
0:05:25 > 0:05:28the UK's own sovereignty in order to gain access to the markets. The
0:05:28 > 0:05:30difficulty is there are significantly different views about
0:05:30 > 0:05:32that, not just between parties but between the ministers who will be
0:05:32 > 0:05:34meeting here today. Some of course whom campaigned for Brexit, some of
0:05:34 > 0:05:38whom wanted the UK to stay in the European Union. This meeting this
0:05:38 > 0:05:42afternoon could be tricky, could be very long, and they will have to try
0:05:42 > 0:05:46to agree some sort of compromise. We may get detail later about what that
0:05:46 > 0:05:51looks like but we are also expecting a speech from the Prime Minister
0:05:51 > 0:05:55next week outlining what the UK hopes to achieve. When they get
0:05:55 > 0:05:59through the negotiations here, once they agree what they want, they have
0:05:59 > 0:06:04to agree it with Brussels too.Alex, thank you.
0:06:04 > 0:06:06The EU appears to have rejected a key British proposal
0:06:06 > 0:06:09for the future relationship after Brexit, according
0:06:09 > 0:06:11to documents published by the European Commission.
0:06:11 > 0:06:17Our reporter Adam Fleming has been looking at them.
0:06:17 > 0:06:24Adam, what has the EU been saying?A couple of weeks ago EU officials
0:06:24 > 0:06:27have a private meeting to discuss this proposal put forward by the
0:06:27 > 0:06:32British government, that you have some areas where the UK keeps EU
0:06:32 > 0:06:35rules and regulations, other areas of the economy where they have the
0:06:35 > 0:06:39same goal but get there using different rules and regulations, and
0:06:39 > 0:06:43areas where things are totally different between the two. A
0:06:43 > 0:06:48document published last night shows the European Commission's Brexit
0:06:48 > 0:06:56negotiators said that concept would be incompatible with the EU ground
0:06:56 > 0:06:59rules for Brexit which are all about protecting the integrity of the
0:06:59 > 0:07:01single market, the internal market as they call it here in Brussels.
0:07:01 > 0:07:05This morning a senior EU diplomat said it looks like the UK was trying
0:07:05 > 0:07:09to pick bits of the single market it liked and reject bits it didn't like
0:07:09 > 0:07:14which to them is not an acceptable course of action. This meeting at
0:07:14 > 0:07:18Chequers today is all about the UK agreeing an opening position for the
0:07:18 > 0:07:23next phase of Brexit talks which is all about trade and the future
0:07:23 > 0:07:32relationship. If we have learned anything about the process,
0:07:32 > 0:07:33anything about the process, all of these meetings here with Michel
0:07:33 > 0:07:36Barnier and David Davies are about finding a compromise between the
0:07:36 > 0:07:38British and Brussels position which they are happy with in Brussels and
0:07:38 > 0:07:42end up being happy with in Britain. Adam, thank you.
0:07:42 > 0:07:44The number of European Union nationals leaving the UK
0:07:44 > 0:07:46is at its highest level for a decade.
0:07:46 > 0:07:48New figures show that 130,000 EU nationals emigrated
0:07:48 > 0:07:51in the year to last September.
0:07:51 > 0:07:54Our home affairs correspondent Danny Shaw is here.
0:07:54 > 0:08:01Danny, how significant are these statistics?
0:08:01 > 0:08:04These figures from the office for National Statistics appear to
0:08:04 > 0:08:09indicate to me is certainly that Brexit is having an impact on
0:08:09 > 0:08:16whether EU nationals want to live in the UK. If you look at the
0:08:16 > 0:08:19referendum June 2016, since then every quarter these figures are
0:08:19 > 0:08:23published there's been a drop in the number of EU nationals coming to
0:08:23 > 0:08:28live here and there's been a rise in the number of EU citizens leaving
0:08:28 > 0:08:34Britain. The latest numbers we have got, 130,000 people leaving, that's
0:08:34 > 0:08:43the highest since 2008, and 220,000 arriving, the lowest for almost four
0:08:43 > 0:08:45years. At the same time we are seeing a rise in the number of
0:08:45 > 0:08:52people from outside Europe coming to Britain, the highest number since
0:08:52 > 0:08:57September 2011. What does this do for the controversial target to cut
0:08:57 > 0:09:01net migration, the difference between overall numbers coming and
0:09:01 > 0:09:08leaving to less than 100,000? They are still way off that target at 240
0:09:08 > 0:09:134000.Danny, thank you very much indeed.
0:09:13 > 0:09:16The UK economy expanded by less than previously thought in the final
0:09:16 > 0:09:18three months of last year, official figures reveal.
0:09:18 > 0:09:21Gross domestic product - or GDP - grew by 0.4%
0:09:21 > 0:09:23in the October-to-December period, down from the initial
0:09:23 > 0:09:24estimate of 0.5%.
0:09:24 > 0:09:26The Office for National Statistics said the downgrade was due to slower
0:09:26 > 0:09:32growth in production industries.
0:09:32 > 0:09:34Donald Trump has suggested that giving guns to some teachers
0:09:34 > 0:09:36would stop massacres like last week's high school shooting
0:09:36 > 0:09:40in Florida, in which 17 pupils and staff were killed.
0:09:40 > 0:09:43The president said teachers with firearms training could have
0:09:43 > 0:09:46concealed weapons in the classroom.
0:09:46 > 0:09:49His comments came as he met survivors of the Florida massacre
0:09:49 > 0:09:57and other shootings.
0:10:03 > 0:10:04Barbara Plett-Usher reports from Florida.
0:10:04 > 0:10:07The people demand a hearing.
0:10:07 > 0:10:10In Florida telling their lawmakers loud and clear, they don't want this
0:10:10 > 0:10:12mass shooting to drop off the political agenda
0:10:12 > 0:10:15like all the others have.
0:10:15 > 0:10:18At the White House, President Trump was listening, to victims
0:10:18 > 0:10:24of the Parkland school attack, but also those that came before it.
0:10:24 > 0:10:26Andrew Pollack's 18-year-old daughter Meadow was
0:10:26 > 0:10:29killed last week.
0:10:29 > 0:10:32It doesn't make sense, fix it, should have been one school shooting
0:10:32 > 0:10:36and we should have fixed it.
0:10:36 > 0:10:40And I'm kissed.
0:10:40 > 0:10:42Because my daughter I'm not going to see again.
0:10:42 > 0:10:47She's not here, she's not here.
0:10:47 > 0:10:50She's in North Lauderdale at whatever it is,
0:10:50 > 0:10:56King David Cemetery, that's where I go to see my kid now.
0:10:56 > 0:10:59It doesn't make sense to her schoolmate Samuel Zeif
0:10:59 > 0:11:01either, especially the gunman's access to a semiautomatic rifle.
0:11:01 > 0:11:05I don't understand.
0:11:05 > 0:11:09I turned 18 the day after, woke up to the news that my best
0:11:09 > 0:11:12friend was gone and I don't understand why I could still go
0:11:12 > 0:11:19in a store and buy a weapon of war.
0:11:19 > 0:11:22The president has responded to calls for tougher gun laws with promises
0:11:22 > 0:11:29of strong background checks, but also more guns.
0:11:29 > 0:11:30It's called concealed carry, where a teacher
0:11:30 > 0:11:32would have a concealed gun on them.
0:11:32 > 0:11:40They'd go for special training.
0:11:41 > 0:11:45They would be there and you would no longer have a gun-free zone.
0:11:45 > 0:11:47There is some support for that argument, but students who survived
0:11:47 > 0:11:49the attack flooded Florida's state legislature, demanding a ban
0:11:49 > 0:11:52on assault rifles.
0:11:52 > 0:11:56Lawmakers may make it harder for a teenager to buy one,
0:11:56 > 0:11:58but not more than that.
0:11:58 > 0:11:59ALL:Never again!
0:11:59 > 0:12:01Still, that's movement in an unmoving debate.
0:12:01 > 0:12:03The students aim to harness that momentum and turn it
0:12:03 > 0:12:06into a national campaign.
0:12:06 > 0:12:08This feels like something new.
0:12:08 > 0:12:10The students seem to have captured a moment.
0:12:10 > 0:12:13They're giving a face and a voice to widespread anger and frustration
0:12:13 > 0:12:14about mass shootings.
0:12:14 > 0:12:16But whether their movement has the power to bring real
0:12:16 > 0:12:20change will be the story of the coming months.
0:12:20 > 0:12:24Barbara Plett-Usher, BBC News, Tallahassee, Florida.
0:12:24 > 0:12:26Our Correspondent Gary O'Donghue is in Maryland where
0:12:26 > 0:12:28later today the head of the National Rifle Association
0:12:28 > 0:12:30is making his first speech since the Florida school shooting.
0:12:30 > 0:12:38Gary, what's he likely to say?
0:12:41 > 0:12:49That is interesting because the NRA has a pattern of these things, when
0:12:49 > 0:12:53the shootings happened. It goes very quiet in the immediate aftermath of
0:12:53 > 0:12:58that and that's exactly what's happened this time. This will be the
0:12:58 > 0:13:03first public comments by the head of the NRA since the Parkland shooting
0:13:03 > 0:13:07and there's a lot of things for him to address. There is pressure for
0:13:07 > 0:13:13example for a ban on assault rifles, something they won't support at all.
0:13:13 > 0:13:18There is pressure to raise the age at which you can buy such guns,
0:13:18 > 0:13:22that's one of the suggestions in the Florida house at the moment. Then
0:13:22 > 0:13:26there's the question of what you do about people with mental health
0:13:26 > 0:13:33problems and their access to guns. He will be talking among friends,
0:13:33 > 0:13:38this is a right-wing conference so he will I think get a lot of support
0:13:38 > 0:13:44here. But bear in mind his organisation is extraordinarily
0:13:44 > 0:13:48powerful. It spends a lot of money lobbying and politically giving
0:13:48 > 0:13:55money to congressmen for their runs and they know that. In terms of the
0:13:55 > 0:13:58president himself, he is saying this morning it does have to be the time
0:13:58 > 0:14:08when teachers get guns in ordered to stop what he calls sickos shooting
0:14:08 > 0:14:11in schools.Thank you.
0:14:11 > 0:14:14The United Nations Security Council will today consider a resolution
0:14:14 > 0:14:15calling for a ceasefire in Syria.
0:14:15 > 0:14:17It comes as government forces in the country
0:14:17 > 0:14:19continue their intense bombardment of the rebel enclave
0:14:19 > 0:14:21of Eastern Ghouta, on the outskirts of Damascus.
0:14:21 > 0:14:24The UN have described the enclave as "hell on earth",
0:14:24 > 0:14:27and in the last few days hundreds of civilians, including many
0:14:27 > 0:14:29children, have been killed there.
0:14:29 > 0:14:37This report from Paul Adams does include some distressing images.
0:14:38 > 0:14:44A massacre, hell on earth, a monstrous campaign of annihilation.
0:14:44 > 0:14:49The world is running out of ways to describe what's happening in eastern
0:14:49 > 0:14:55Ghouta, but the bombs are still falling and the toll is dreadful.
0:14:55 > 0:15:01And medical facilities are not being spread. This Children's Hospital now
0:15:01 > 0:15:06wrapped. TRANSLATION:The clinical care and
0:15:06 > 0:15:11surgery unit is out, the incubator unit is out, the paediatric section
0:15:11 > 0:15:15is out. All of the departments of hospital are out of service, the
0:15:15 > 0:15:22destruction is total.Elsewhere medical staff tried desperately to
0:15:22 > 0:15:27keep up with hundreds of casualties. The siege of eastern Ghouta began
0:15:27 > 0:15:30five years ago. The situation was intolerable long before this
0:15:30 > 0:15:37terrible week. TRANSLATION:These are hopeless
0:15:37 > 0:15:41cases, there's nothing we can do to save them. These victims have
0:15:41 > 0:15:46suffered head and brain injuries. This one has stopped breathing. I'm
0:15:46 > 0:15:50worried about this boy too, both need intensive care but we cannot
0:15:50 > 0:15:58operate because the bombing is relentless.Where are the Arabs?
0:15:58 > 0:16:07Where are the Muslims? Do we have to appeal to Israel instead to help?
0:16:07 > 0:16:13Shame on you, this is just a little boy who wants freedom. Why are you
0:16:13 > 0:16:22doing this? I don't know what to do. Can any of this be stopped through
0:16:22 > 0:16:26diplomacy? The UN wants a ceasefire and there's a meeting at the UN
0:16:26 > 0:16:31Security Council this afternoon, but in Geneva its envoy for Syria
0:16:31 > 0:16:34doesn't sound optimistic. Comment on whether you think there
0:16:34 > 0:16:39will be a deal today on a ceasefire resolution?I hope it will, but it
0:16:39 > 0:16:45is uphill, it is very urgent.If there isn't one, what happens?We
0:16:45 > 0:16:50will have to push for it to take place as soon as possible because
0:16:50 > 0:16:54there is no alternative to a ceasefire and humanitarian access.
0:16:54 > 0:17:00Russia says the real blame lies with terrorists firing out of Ghouta into
0:17:00 > 0:17:03the capital. Jihadi fighters including some connected with
0:17:03 > 0:17:07Al-Qaeda have been active in the area since the siege began. This for
0:17:07 > 0:17:12President Assad is about securing Damascus, there's no immediate sign
0:17:12 > 0:17:22of him stopping. Britain is halfway towards its target of resettling the
0:17:22 > 0:17:26most vulnerable refugees from the Syrian civil war. The Home Secretary
0:17:26 > 0:17:29says 10,000 refugees have already come here and she's looking to see
0:17:29 > 0:17:33what to do after the scheme ends in two years' time. Daniel Sandford
0:17:33 > 0:17:36reports.
0:17:36 > 0:17:39Far from the horrors of the war in Syria,
0:17:39 > 0:17:41we found Khaled Kara Hasan playing football in his garden in Coventry
0:17:41 > 0:17:43with his sons, Mahmood and Zid.
0:17:43 > 0:17:46His family are some of the 10,000 people now given refuge in Britain
0:17:46 > 0:17:47under the vulnerable person resettlement scheme.
0:17:47 > 0:17:50Khaled, who was a pharmacy assistant in Syria, now works
0:17:50 > 0:17:52part-time in Waitrose.
0:17:52 > 0:17:56He told me he fled Homs in 2012 after Syrian government forces
0:17:56 > 0:17:58bombed first his neighbourhood and then a second area,
0:17:58 > 0:18:01where he'd taken refuge.
0:18:01 > 0:18:07I decided with my family to leave Syria, Turkey,
0:18:07 > 0:18:10because I like my family.
0:18:10 > 0:18:12To protect them.
0:18:12 > 0:18:19I remember my brothers, I remember my friend, my neighbours.
0:18:23 > 0:18:29Here it's more safe, more safe, but in Syria it's like,
0:18:29 > 0:18:33you know in Syria it's like fighting, but it's
0:18:33 > 0:18:36still my country.
0:18:36 > 0:18:37You miss it a bit, yeah?
0:18:37 > 0:18:39Yeah.
0:18:39 > 0:18:40But the old Syria is gone.
0:18:40 > 0:18:43This mobile phone footage sent by a friend shows what their flat
0:18:43 > 0:18:46in Homs looks like today.
0:18:46 > 0:18:52The scheme to resettle refugees from Syria is overseen
0:18:52 > 0:18:55by the Home Secretary, Amber Rudd, who was in a camp
0:18:55 > 0:18:56in Lebanon this week.
0:18:56 > 0:18:59The UK has promised to give homes to 20,000 of the most vulnerable
0:18:59 > 0:19:05by the end of 2020 and is now halfway to that target.
0:19:05 > 0:19:08I think that the British public can be very proud of that,
0:19:08 > 0:19:10proud of the fact they've been able to reach that commitment,
0:19:10 > 0:19:13that these families are being resettled in the community
0:19:13 > 0:19:15and are being looked after.
0:19:15 > 0:19:19But campaigners say Britain could still be doing much more.
0:19:19 > 0:19:22There are more than 5 million Syrian refugees living
0:19:22 > 0:19:26in neighbouring countries, some in terrible conditions.
0:19:26 > 0:19:28Like this woman, who has three children under ten
0:19:28 > 0:19:31and whose husband is missing.
0:19:31 > 0:19:37A couple of years ago she had the chance to go to Germany.
0:19:37 > 0:19:40I was afraid at the time, as my children were still young,
0:19:40 > 0:19:43so I declined the offer, she told the BBC.
0:19:43 > 0:19:45With a return to Syria still impossible, it's a decision
0:19:45 > 0:19:48she now bitterly regrets.

0:19:55 > 0:19:58Our top story this lunchtime.
0:19:58 > 0:20:01Theresa May is holding crucial talks with her ministers
0:20:01 > 0:20:03at Chequers this afternoon, to agree a united approach
0:20:03 > 0:20:06for the Brexit negotiations.
0:20:06 > 0:20:08And still to come.
0:20:08 > 0:20:10More disappointment for Team GB in the Winter Olympics -
0:20:10 > 0:20:16men's curling is the latest to be knocked out, with the skipper
0:20:16 > 0:20:17Coming up in sport...
0:20:17 > 0:20:19Mercedes reveal their new car for the Formula One season.
0:20:19 > 0:20:22Lewis Hamilton says he'll quickly get used to the new halo
0:20:22 > 0:20:28designed to protect drivers.
0:20:33 > 0:20:36New research shows antidepressants are effective -
0:20:36 > 0:20:39and that many more people could benefit from taking them.
0:20:39 > 0:20:43The study, in the medical journal the Lancet, found 21 common
0:20:43 > 0:20:47antidepressants were more effective than placebos at reducing symptoms
0:20:47 > 0:20:48of acute depression.
0:20:48 > 0:20:53Here's our health correspondent, James Gallagher.
0:20:53 > 0:20:55How did the chicken cross the road?
0:20:55 > 0:20:59Comedian Christian Talbot makes a career out of making people laugh.
0:20:59 > 0:21:02..to feel safe.
0:21:02 > 0:21:04But off the stage he takes antidepressants in order to get
0:21:04 > 0:21:08from one day to the next.
0:21:08 > 0:21:11It did feel literally like a weight off my shoulders.
0:21:11 > 0:21:13I was less anxious.
0:21:13 > 0:21:19And I sort of felt just more even, you know, not happy, but even.
0:21:19 > 0:21:23Antidepressants are some of our most commonly-used drugs.
0:21:23 > 0:21:2764 million prescriptions were handed out in England in 2016 and, yet,
0:21:27 > 0:21:31they are the source of huge debate.
0:21:31 > 0:21:34So many people take antidepressants that it seems remarkable
0:21:34 > 0:21:37there could be serious questions about whether they work,
0:21:37 > 0:21:40but some trials have hinted they have no affect,
0:21:40 > 0:21:46and for the fiercest critics, antidepressants are snake oil.
0:21:46 > 0:21:47But scientists think they have finally answered
0:21:47 > 0:21:50the question in a huge study.
0:21:50 > 0:21:52They analysed more than 500 clinical trials, including previously
0:21:52 > 0:21:57unpublished data held by drug companies.
0:21:57 > 0:22:02We found that all the most commonly prescribed antidepressants work
0:22:02 > 0:22:08for major depression and for people with moderate to severe depression
0:22:08 > 0:22:12and also we found that some of them are more effective than others,
0:22:12 > 0:22:16or better tolerated than others.
0:22:16 > 0:22:18The study assessed whether these drugs are effective
0:22:18 > 0:22:21in the short term.
0:22:21 > 0:22:23More work is underway to see how long any benefits last.
0:22:23 > 0:22:26However, there are still patients that don't respond
0:22:26 > 0:22:29to any form of treatment.
0:22:29 > 0:22:31The patient can be reassured that if they need antidepressants
0:22:31 > 0:22:35and they take antidepressants they are doing the right
0:22:35 > 0:22:38thing, but we can move on to the new most important
0:22:38 > 0:22:40questions, which is what we do with patients who don't respond
0:22:40 > 0:22:42to all available antidepressants.
0:22:42 > 0:22:45The study included 21 drugs, yet some to patients do not
0:22:45 > 0:22:46respond to any of them.
0:22:46 > 0:22:47How can we help them?
0:22:47 > 0:22:50Another concern is too few people with depression get treatment.
0:22:50 > 0:22:52Researchers estimate at least one million more people
0:22:52 > 0:22:55in the UK would benefit from therapies including
0:22:55 > 0:22:56antidepressants.
0:22:56 > 0:23:01James Gallagher, BBC News.
0:23:01 > 0:23:04University lecturers across the UK are beginning a series of strikes.
0:23:04 > 0:23:11The action will affect around a million students.
0:23:11 > 0:23:13Members of the University and College Union are walking out
0:23:13 > 0:23:15in protest at planned changes to their pension scheme,
0:23:15 > 0:23:18which they say will leave them worse off in retirement.
0:23:18 > 0:23:20Our correspondent Tomos Morgan has this report from Cardiff -
0:23:20 > 0:23:25where hundreds of university staff are taking action.
0:23:25 > 0:23:32Know ifs, no buts, no pension cuts. Picket lines, protests, the scene at
0:23:32 > 0:23:36universities across the country. Staff walking out in a dispute over
0:23:36 > 0:23:42pensions. Institutions say there's a £6.1 billion deficit in the current
0:23:42 > 0:23:45scheme, which is unsustainable. They say changes must be made. But after
0:23:45 > 0:23:5035 meetings over the past year, the University and College Union says
0:23:50 > 0:23:56the strikes were inevitable is the proposed new scheme would be far
0:23:56 > 0:24:01less generous.We are saying changes to the scheme should be fair. We are
0:24:01 > 0:24:05in the scheme which the staff and employers are committed to. They
0:24:05 > 0:24:07employers have now junked that approach and are going for something
0:24:07 > 0:24:11where the staff are being shoved aside.With lectures being affected
0:24:11 > 0:24:15by the strikes there a danger that student degrees will be impacted.
0:24:15 > 0:24:21There are suggestions exams may have to be modified marking relaxed. The
0:24:21 > 0:24:25thousands of students that have come out today to protest across the
0:24:25 > 0:24:29country are doing so alongside their lecturers. Their frustration is
0:24:29 > 0:24:33aimed at their institutions. They are seen as consumers in the eyes of
0:24:33 > 0:24:36regulators and the courts and if this deadlock continues students
0:24:36 > 0:24:39believe they deserve some compensation from universities for
0:24:39 > 0:24:44the loss of teaching time. Students across the country have begun
0:24:44 > 0:24:48petitions, calling for universities to recognise that they are not
0:24:48 > 0:24:52receiving a service paid for by their tuition fees. The petition
0:24:52 > 0:24:58here in Cardiff has already had almost 5000 the glitches.It's an
0:24:58 > 0:25:02opportunity to focus on financial compensation, we believe that
0:25:02 > 0:25:05academic compensation is more beneficial. We don't believe in the
0:25:05 > 0:25:11long-running financial compensation will benefit students and changes to
0:25:11 > 0:25:15exam feedback or deadlines benefits is more.The union says senior
0:25:15 > 0:25:20lecturers could be £10,000 a year worse off under the proposed new
0:25:20 > 0:25:25scheme. Universities UK, the body that represents institutions, says
0:25:25 > 0:25:28that they are making every effort to minimise the impact of industrial
0:25:28 > 0:25:32action on students, adding that changes proposed will make the
0:25:32 > 0:25:37pension scheme secure and sustainable, safeguarding the future
0:25:37 > 0:25:43of universities. Currently, 14 days of protests are planned. But unless
0:25:43 > 0:25:48a deal can be reached soon, unions say more strike action stretching
0:25:48 > 0:25:52into the summer exam period is inevitable. Tomos Morgan, BBC News,
0:25:52 > 0:25:54Cardiff.
0:25:54 > 0:25:56Britain's biggest energy supplier, Centrica, says it's cutting 4000
0:25:56 > 0:25:58jobs over the next couple of years.
0:25:58 > 0:26:01It follows a big drop in profits, down by 17 % last year.
0:26:01 > 0:26:04The group - which owns British Gas - has blamed its performance
0:26:04 > 0:26:06in North America as well in the UK.
0:26:06 > 0:26:14Our business correspondent Emma Simpson reports.
0:26:15 > 0:26:19It's been a disappointing year for Britain's biggest energy supplier.
0:26:19 > 0:26:26Today, the hard numbers will stop Centrica's group profits down 17%
0:26:26 > 0:26:32come at a £1.25 billion. It also lost 1.4 million British Gas
0:26:32 > 0:26:37customer accounts and more cost-cutting is on the way, with
0:26:37 > 0:26:424000 jobs to go. And those cuts, the boss told me, are partly down to the
0:26:42 > 0:26:47government's looming price cap on bills.It's about competition and
0:26:47 > 0:26:51what customers are wanting, but there's a third reason. There is a
0:26:51 > 0:26:56link between our cost efficiency programme and preparing for price
0:26:56 > 0:26:59cap in the UK. We've got to be competitive and this measure means
0:26:59 > 0:27:07that we've got to drive more efficiency.The posts will go over
0:27:07 > 0:27:10the next three years, mainly in its UK residential business.It's only a
0:27:10 > 0:27:17couple of years ago that I was talking to the Chief Executive
0:27:17 > 0:27:22around 5500 job losses and that being the necessary action required,
0:27:22 > 0:27:28and now here we are again with a further 4000 job cuts being
0:27:28 > 0:27:32announced. It's very, very concerning.The government says
0:27:32 > 0:27:35Britain's energy market isn't working. Customers are being
0:27:35 > 0:27:40overcharged. That's why it wants to cap the most expensive energy bills.
0:27:40 > 0:27:45A move which could put another squeeze on Centrica's profits, so
0:27:45 > 0:27:50our price rises on the cards?I can't make any guarantees others and
0:27:50 > 0:27:56we watch the input costs closely and we are trying to make our energy as
0:27:56 > 0:27:59competitive as possible.From government intervention to
0:27:59 > 0:28:04increasing competition, the whole industry is in the midst of change,
0:28:04 > 0:28:11but will it come at a price, and for whom? Emma Simpson, BBC News.
0:28:11 > 0:28:13In the Winter Olympics, British skier Dave Ryding finished
0:28:13 > 0:28:15ninth in the men's slalom.
0:28:15 > 0:28:17The GB men's curling team failed to reach the semifinals,
0:28:17 > 0:28:21after Switzerland beat them in their tie-break match.
0:28:21 > 0:28:24In the men's skiing half pipe, some spectacular aerial acrobatics -
0:28:24 > 0:28:28as you'll see in David Ornstein's report from Pyeongchang.
0:28:28 > 0:28:29COMMENTATOR:From Great Britain and Northern Ireland,
0:28:29 > 0:28:32Dave "The Rocket" Ryding.
0:28:32 > 0:28:35At the gateway to Olympic glory.
0:28:35 > 0:28:40From a dry ski slope in Lancashire to the real stuff in South Korea,
0:28:40 > 0:28:42Dave Ryding has followed an unconventional path,
0:28:42 > 0:28:47but now finds himself battling against the world's best.
0:28:47 > 0:28:49The Rocket starts to get acceleration on the flat.
0:28:49 > 0:28:52Ryding's final run here propelled him to a ninth place finish -
0:28:52 > 0:29:00Britain's best Olympic Alpine skiing result in 30 years.
0:29:00 > 0:29:04That's a superb performance by Dave Ryding, but it won't quite
0:29:04 > 0:29:08be enough to get him on the podium, and Britain's wait for another medal
0:29:08 > 0:29:11at these Games goes on.
0:29:11 > 0:29:14I'm 31, but still life in the old dog yet, and it
0:29:14 > 0:29:17motivates me for another four years and I know I can
0:29:17 > 0:29:20improve on that still.
0:29:20 > 0:29:22Curling has become one of the country's main sources
0:29:22 > 0:29:25of Olympic success - the men taking silver
0:29:25 > 0:29:27in Sochi four years ago.
0:29:27 > 0:29:30This, however, is a new team and they leave empty-handed,
0:29:30 > 0:29:33after an agonising defeat by Switzerland.
0:29:33 > 0:29:38Leading 5-4 with just two ends to go and a semifinals place at stake,
0:29:38 > 0:29:43the Brits capitulated to lose 9-5.
0:29:43 > 0:29:46We had a good game today, but it wasn't to be, sadly.
0:29:46 > 0:29:50A couple of things didn't go our way and a couple of half shots
0:29:50 > 0:29:53and that's all it takes against a team as good as them.
0:29:53 > 0:29:56Meanwhile there was confirmation today that the Russian mixed doubles
0:29:56 > 0:30:00pair of Alexander Krushelnitskiy and his wife Anastasia Bryzgalova
0:30:00 > 0:30:05have been stripped of their curling bronze medal after Krushelnitskiy
0:30:05 > 0:30:07was found guilty of doping.
0:30:07 > 0:30:09In the women's ice hockey there was incredible drama
0:30:09 > 0:30:13as the United States and Canada went to a sudden-death shoot out.
0:30:13 > 0:30:17COMMENTATOR:Saved, the USA win gold.
0:30:17 > 0:30:21Having claimed each of the last four titles, Canada were left devastated
0:30:21 > 0:30:26as the USA celebrated a famous victory.

0:30:39 > 0:30:46David Ornstein, BBC News, Pyeongchang.
0:30:46 > 0:30:48Time for a look at the weather.
0:30:48 > 0:30:49Here's Stav.
0:30:53 > 0:30:57We are in for some Winter Olympics temperatures?
0:30:57 > 0:31:01Indeed we are, the story is unfolding. Good afternoon. I'll
0:31:01 > 0:31:04start with the European map and the temperature contrast, you can see
0:31:04 > 0:31:10the blues pouring out from Siberia into western Russia, spreading
0:31:10 > 0:31:13across the continent and reaching our shores, particularly into next
0:31:13 > 0:31:17week you really will notice the bitterly cold conditions. It's going
0:31:17 > 0:31:20to feel extremely bitter, particularly if you add on the wind.
0:31:20 > 0:31:24Widespread morning frosts. There's the chance of some snow in some
0:31:24 > 0:31:28areas, but uncertainty in that detail. Keep tuned to the forecast
0:31:28 > 0:31:31the weather snow will fall. Here and now, we have high pressure in
0:31:31 > 0:31:36control. Its finance settled. A lot of dry weather around through the
0:31:36 > 0:31:40afternoon. The best of the sunshine across eastern side of England,
0:31:40 > 0:31:43eastern Scotland and some glimmers elsewhere, but there will be a tough
0:31:43 > 0:31:46cloud and disappointingly chilly where you have the cloud. Not too
0:31:46 > 0:31:52bad in the sunshine. 5-7dC. As we had through this evening and
0:31:52 > 0:31:54overnight, the skies clear quite widely. It looks like temperatures
0:31:54 > 0:32:00will plummet. It will be a dry one for where the skies are clear,
0:32:00 > 0:32:03particularly in England and the fund into parts of Scotland it will be a
0:32:03 > 0:32:06really cold one, much colder than last night, with a hard frost down
0:32:06 > 0:32:11to maybe minus five Celsius in a few places. One thing is for sure, it
0:32:11 > 0:32:13will be a cold start tomorrow morning. You'll be scraping the car
0:32:13 > 0:32:22if you are heading out early. Like today, because high
0:32:30 > 0:32:33pressure is in control, it will be largely financed right, variable
0:32:33 > 0:32:36amounts of cloud and good spells of sunshine, the best of it in
0:32:36 > 0:32:39Scotland, parts of England and why, a bit of cloud rolling in off the
0:32:39 > 0:32:41North Sea for north-east England. Temperatures 4-7. That's the trend
0:32:41 > 0:32:44as we head into the weekend. The temperatures continue to fall away
0:32:44 > 0:32:47as we pick up the south-easterly wind bringing the cold air, which is
0:32:47 > 0:32:49already across the near continent. Again, high pressure in control for
0:32:49 > 0:32:52Saturday. A lot of fine and dry weather. Wrap up well and head out,
0:32:52 > 0:32:56it should be quite nice, good sunny spells around. A bit more of a
0:32:56 > 0:33:00breeze. It will start to knock the temperatures down further. Ranging
0:33:00 > 0:33:04from 4-7dC. A similar picture on Sunday, with a lot of dry weather
0:33:04 > 0:33:07around. Temperatures continue to fall, particularly after Sunday. At
0:33:07 > 0:33:11the start of next week we're looking at highs a couple of degrees above
0:33:11 > 0:33:15freezing. Add on the wind and it will feel colder. There should be
0:33:15 > 0:33:18quite a bit of sunshine around as well but there is some snow in the
0:33:18 > 0:33:22forecast, so keep tuned to the weather forecast for the next few
0:33:22 > 0:33:25days.
0:33:25 > 0:33:26That's all from the BBC News at One.
