The Home Secretary
says more is now known | 0:00:03 | 0:00:05 | |
about the substance used
in the suspected poisoning | 0:00:05 | 0:00:08 | |
of a Russian spy. | 0:00:08 | 0:00:15 | |

remain critically ill, | 0:00:18 | 0:00:19 | |
after collapsing in Salisbury. | 0:00:19 | 0:00:20 | |
as ministers move to
reassure local people. | 0:00:20 | 0:00:23 | |
I want to make sure that this
investigation response to evidence, | 0:00:23 | 0:00:28 | |
not to rumour, but I can reassure
the public that all action will be | 0:00:28 | 0:00:34 | |
taken to keep everybody safe. | 0:00:34 | 0:00:36 | |
We'll have the latest
on the continuing investigation. | 0:00:36 | 0:00:38 | |
Also this lunchtime... | 0:00:38 | 0:00:39 | |
The President of the EU says a free
trade agreement will have to be put | 0:00:39 | 0:00:42 | |
into place after Brexit -
and says the UK's position will have | 0:00:42 | 0:00:45 | |
"negative economic consequences." | 0:00:45 | 0:00:49 | |
A pick and mix approach for a
nonmember State is out of the | 0:00:49 | 0:00:55 | |
question. We are not going to
sacrifice these principles. It is | 0:00:55 | 0:01:00 | |
simply not in our interest. | 0:01:00 | 0:01:02 | |
Saudi's Crown Prince arrives
in the UK on a three-day visit | 0:01:02 | 0:01:05 | |

protests are expected. | 0:01:08 | 0:01:10 | |
A clamp-down on the extra fees
charged by secondary ticket websites | 0:01:10 | 0:01:12 | |

about the full price | 0:01:12 | 0:01:15 | |
of all purchases. | 0:01:15 | 0:01:19 | |
And why pine martens could be
the key to the recovery | 0:01:19 | 0:01:22 | |
of the endangered red squirrel
population in the UK. | 0:01:22 | 0:01:28 | |
And coming up in the
sport on BBC News... | 0:01:28 | 0:01:30 | |
It's all to play for in the final
one-day international, | 0:01:30 | 0:01:32 | |
after New Zealand beat England
by five wickets to level | 0:01:32 | 0:01:35 | |
the series in Dunedin. | 0:01:35 | 0:01:41 | |
Good afternoon and welcome
to the BBC News At One. | 0:01:57 | 0:02:01 | |
The Home Secretary, Amber Rudd,
has said more is now known | 0:02:01 | 0:02:03 | |
about the substance involved
in the suspected poisoning | 0:02:03 | 0:02:06 | |
of a former Russian
spy and his daughter. | 0:02:06 | 0:02:10 | |
The Home Secretary says
the police will reveal more | 0:02:10 | 0:02:12 | |
details later today,
and insists the investigation must | 0:02:12 | 0:02:15 | |
respond to evidence, not rumour. | 0:02:15 | 0:02:18 | |
Sergei Skripal and his daughter
Yulia remain critically ill in | 0:02:18 | 0:02:24 | |
hospital in Salisbury in Wiltshire,
after collapsing on Sunday. | 0:02:24 | 0:02:26 | |
Richard Galpin reports. | 0:02:26 | 0:02:31 | |
With the former Russian intelligence
officer Sergei Skripal and his | 0:02:31 | 0:02:34 | |
daughter Yulia still fighting
for their lives in hospital, | 0:02:34 | 0:02:37 | |
counterterrorism police are now
running the investigation. | 0:02:37 | 0:02:45 | |
And they want any witnesses to come
forward with information. For | 0:02:45 | 0:02:48 | |
example, at the restaurant where the
Skripals eight not long before they | 0:02:48 | 0:02:55 | |
collapsed on a bench in the city
centre. Today, another sign of how | 0:02:55 | 0:03:00 | |
seriously this incident is being
treated. Good morning. You attending | 0:03:00 | 0:03:04 | |
Cobra? Senior ministers and
intelligence officials holding a | 0:03:04 | 0:03:09 | |
meeting at the Government's
emergency response committee called | 0:03:09 | 0:03:13 | |
Cobra. And afterwards, the Home
Secretary announced they had been | 0:03:13 | 0:03:17 | |
progress in the investigation into
what had made to the Skripals so ill | 0:03:17 | 0:03:21 | |
last Sunday. We do know more about
the substance and the police will be | 0:03:21 | 0:03:25 | |
making a further substance this
afternoon in order to share some of | 0:03:25 | 0:03:28 | |
that. We must let the police carry
on their work. They will share what | 0:03:28 | 0:03:32 | |
they come this afternoon and I'm
sure there will be more updates as | 0:03:32 | 0:03:36 | |
the investigation continues.
Scientists at the Government's | 0:03:36 | 0:03:42 | |
research laboratories at Porton down
near Salisbury have been examining | 0:03:42 | 0:03:44 | |
samples to try to work out exactly
what substance was involved but | 0:03:44 | 0:03:48 | |
despite suspicions, -- suspicions
that Russia might be behind what has | 0:03:48 | 0:03:54 | |
happened, there are warnings against
jumping to conclusions. We need to | 0:03:54 | 0:03:58 | |
bear in mind that the police need to
look at all avenues, it is not just | 0:03:58 | 0:04:02 | |
a case of deciding that this is a
Russian state incident. This could | 0:04:02 | 0:04:06 | |
be someone else and it is quite
possible that someone else has done | 0:04:06 | 0:04:10 | |
this so it is really important that
we keep an open mind as police | 0:04:10 | 0:04:14 | |
officers. In Moscow there is growing
anger at the way the British media | 0:04:14 | 0:04:18 | |
has been reporting the incident.
TRANSLATION: These people have been | 0:04:18 | 0:04:23 | |
used by the foreign media for an
anti-Russian campaign. It is a | 0:04:23 | 0:04:28 | |
traditional campaign. The tradition
is to make things up. We can only | 0:04:28 | 0:04:31 | |
see it as a provocation. Meanwhile,
several key locations in Salisbury | 0:04:31 | 0:04:38 | |
remain cordoned off by the police.
It has now been revealed that an | 0:04:38 | 0:04:42 | |
ambulance station outside the city
has also been sealed off. There are | 0:04:42 | 0:04:48 | |
reports of a fire engine being used
to hose down the ambulance which | 0:04:48 | 0:04:51 | |
took the Skripals to hospital.
Richard Galpin, BBC News. | 0:04:51 | 0:04:57 | |
In a moment we'll get the latest
from our correspondent | 0:04:57 | 0:04:59 | |
Sarah Rainsford in Moscow,
but first let's speak | 0:04:59 | 0:05:01 | |
to Leila Nathoo in Salisbury. | 0:05:01 | 0:05:05 | |
Brings us right up to date with this
police investigation. We know that | 0:05:05 | 0:05:12 | |
scientists at the UK's military
research facility have been | 0:05:12 | 0:05:15 | |
analysing that substance that
surrogate and Yulia Skripal were | 0:05:15 | 0:05:20 | |
exposed to and we heard from the
Home Secretary, Amber Rudd after she | 0:05:20 | 0:05:24 | |
chaired that high level emergency
committee this morning that now do | 0:05:24 | 0:05:28 | |
know more about it and we are
expecting an update from police | 0:05:28 | 0:05:33 | |
later this afternoon. We know it is
counterterror police who are now | 0:05:33 | 0:05:37 | |
leading this inquiry. They are
appealing for anyone who was in | 0:05:37 | 0:05:39 | |
Salisbury city centre on Sunday
afternoon from 1:30pm, when they | 0:05:39 | 0:05:44 | |
believe Sergei Skripal and Yulia and
the city centre. They are appealing | 0:05:44 | 0:05:48 | |
for anyone who was around at that
time to come forward with any they | 0:05:48 | 0:05:52 | |
have. In the last 15 minutes there
has been a flurry of activity near | 0:05:52 | 0:05:57 | |
arrest that has been cordoned off,
just behind me, and that has now | 0:05:57 | 0:06:02 | |
been renewed. There is police and
ambulances coming to the scene. We | 0:06:02 | 0:06:06 | |
don't yet know what that means but
we are expecting to hear more from | 0:06:06 | 0:06:09 | |
the police later this afternoon and,
as the Home Secretary said, it is | 0:06:09 | 0:06:13 | |
likely to be a lengthy
investigation. Thanks for now. Let's | 0:06:13 | 0:06:20 | |
get the latest from Moscow. We heard
about the anger from Moscow in | 0:06:20 | 0:06:25 | |
Richard's report did not tell us
more about what is being said where | 0:06:25 | 0:06:29 | |
you are. That is the strongest
reaction we have had so far from | 0:06:29 | 0:06:33 | |
Moscow, coming from the foreign
ministry, the spokesperson there, | 0:06:33 | 0:06:38 | |
who has described the accusations
and half accusations coming from the | 0:06:38 | 0:06:42 | |
UK as utterly groundless. She has
taught about baseless accusations | 0:06:42 | 0:06:45 | |
and says this incident is being
exploited as part of what she sees | 0:06:45 | 0:06:49 | |
as a deliberate campaign to damage
relations between the West more | 0:06:49 | 0:06:53 | |
broadly and Russia are. She was very
critical of the Western media, | 0:06:53 | 0:06:57 | |
saying that this is being whipped up
and is an anti-Russian campaign, and | 0:06:57 | 0:07:02 | |
just speculation, and she was
talking about the need for an open | 0:07:02 | 0:07:06 | |
investigation into what happened and
for Russia to be involved with that. | 0:07:06 | 0:07:10 | |
She said Russia was willing and open
to cooperation, in fact very keen to | 0:07:10 | 0:07:15 | |
co-operate with any inquiry. Another
interesting point from here in | 0:07:15 | 0:07:18 | |
Russia is how the media here has
been covering what is going on and | 0:07:18 | 0:07:22 | |
the extraordinary thing is that
there has been almost no mention in | 0:07:22 | 0:07:26 | |
the very powerful, influential
state-run media here. The three key | 0:07:26 | 0:07:29 | |
TV channels have not mentioned a
word and the only discussion in some | 0:07:29 | 0:07:34 | |
newspapers has been to suggest that
this is some kind of anti-Russian | 0:07:34 | 0:07:38 | |
campaign being conducted in the UK
and there is no basis for the | 0:07:38 | 0:07:43 | |
accusations whatsoever. Sarah, thank
you. Sarah Raynsford and Leila | 0:07:43 | 0:07:47 | |
Nathoo. | 0:07:47 | 0:07:51 | |
In the past hour, the President
of the EU, Donald Tusk, has been | 0:07:51 | 0:07:54 | |
giving more details about ties
with Britain after Brexit. | 0:07:54 | 0:07:56 | |
He says a free trade arrangement
is the only workable option - | 0:07:56 | 0:07:59 | |
and that there could be
an arrangement resembling the one | 0:07:59 | 0:08:02 | |
that Brussels has with Canada. | 0:08:02 | 0:08:03 | |
Adam Fleming is in Luxembourg. | 0:08:03 | 0:08:06 | |
Tell us more about what Donald Tusk
has been outlining. | 0:08:06 | 0:08:11 | |
Well, Donald Tusk is the man who
chairs the summits of EU leaders and | 0:08:11 | 0:08:15 | |
there is going to be one of those in
a couple of weeks, where they will | 0:08:15 | 0:08:18 | |
sign off on their blueprint for the
next phase of Brexit talks, which is | 0:08:18 | 0:08:22 | |
all about negotiating the shape of
the future relationship with the UK | 0:08:22 | 0:08:26 | |
after Brexit and the message from
Donald Tusk here today was that with | 0:08:26 | 0:08:30 | |
the current UK redlines, the best he
could offer would be a partnership | 0:08:30 | 0:08:35 | |
on security, defence, aviation and
on trade the best would be a free | 0:08:35 | 0:08:39 | |
trade agreement. He explained what
that meant | 0:08:39 | 0:08:42 | |
like this. | 0:08:42 | 0:08:44 | |
Our agreement will not make trade
between the UK and the EU | 0:08:44 | 0:08:47 | |
frictioness or smoother. | 0:08:47 | 0:08:53 | |
-- frictionless. | 0:08:53 | 0:08:57 | |
It will make it more complicated
and costly for all of us. | 0:08:57 | 0:09:00 | |
This is the essence of Brexit. | 0:09:00 | 0:09:01 | |
A pick and mix approach for a
nonmember State is out of the | 0:09:01 | 0:09:06 | |
question. We are not going to
sacrifice these principles. That is | 0:09:06 | 0:09:10 | |
simply not in our interest. To
Brexit watchers, lots of this will | 0:09:10 | 0:09:15 | |
not come as a surprise because it is
the sort of thing the EU has been | 0:09:15 | 0:09:19 | |
saying for weeks and weeks when they
have looked at what the British want | 0:09:19 | 0:09:22 | |
but I thought it was interesting
when I spoke to Donald Tusk at news | 0:09:22 | 0:09:25 | |
conference, when I asked him, does
this come anything close to what the | 0:09:25 | 0:09:29 | |
prime minister asked for in her
mansion house speech on Friday? He | 0:09:29 | 0:09:33 | |
gave an incredibly long pause, which
suggests he knows that it isn't. I | 0:09:33 | 0:09:37 | |
think what will | 0:09:37 | 0:09:43 | |
think what will probably be shopping
for some people is seeing it written | 0:09:46 | 0:09:48 | |
down in text form saying, this is
what is going to happen, and reading | 0:09:48 | 0:09:51 | |
the warning circulating in the
document by the EU today that this | 0:09:51 | 0:09:53 | |
will have serious economic
consequences for Britain. But if you | 0:09:53 | 0:09:55 | |
read the small print, there was a
section of the document that says | 0:09:55 | 0:09:58 | |
that other options are on the table
if the UK is willing to reconsider | 0:09:58 | 0:10:01 | |
its redlines. That is the EU saying
to the UK, if you are prepared to | 0:10:01 | 0:10:05 | |
make some big compromises, we are
prepared to make some big | 0:10:05 | 0:10:07 | |
compromises too.
Let's get reaction to all of that. | 0:10:07 | 0:10:13 | |
Our assistant political editor,
Norman Smith, is following | 0:10:13 | 0:10:17 | |
everything at Westminster. That is
fascinating about the redlines. | 0:10:17 | 0:10:20 | |
It is because while at first glance
this looks like a bucket of cold | 0:10:20 | 0:10:24 | |
water being poured over Mrs May,
with the EU rejecting, rebirthing or | 0:10:24 | 0:10:28 | |
ignoring all the sort of emollient
language and compromises offered by | 0:10:28 | 0:10:32 | |
Mrs May last week suggesting that we
could stay in some EU agencies, we | 0:10:32 | 0:10:38 | |
would be happy to pay and observe EU
standards, we would stick by some EU | 0:10:38 | 0:10:42 | |
rules and there would be no race to
the bottom. That has all been | 0:10:42 | 0:10:46 | |
rejected and at first glance, you
say that looks like a blow to the | 0:10:46 | 0:10:50 | |
solar plexus for Mrs May. Talking to
Downing Street folk, they say that | 0:10:50 | 0:10:54 | |
this is only a draft text, it is
early days, we hope the EU will | 0:10:54 | 0:10:58 | |
respond more imaginatively and
creatively, and they're great hope | 0:10:58 | 0:11:03 | |
is that EU leaders in individual
European capitals will be much more | 0:11:03 | 0:11:07 | |
receptive to the sort of hand of
friendship being reached out by Mrs | 0:11:07 | 0:11:10 | |
May and will be much more willing to
do a deal. Why? Self-interest, | 0:11:10 | 0:11:16 | |
because they do an awful lot of
trade with Britain and they do not | 0:11:16 | 0:11:19 | |
want to lose that. Britain is also a
huge contributor in terms of | 0:11:19 | 0:11:24 | |
European security and, crucially,
hard cash. We have offered up to £39 | 0:11:24 | 0:11:30 | |
billion but we are not handing over
the money unless we get that deal. | 0:11:30 | 0:11:35 | |
One other thing that may comfort
Number Ten from this response is | 0:11:35 | 0:11:40 | |
that one consequence of Mrs May's
speech was to begin to bind the Tory | 0:11:40 | 0:11:44 | |
party together. I wonder if this
very tough language from the EU will | 0:11:44 | 0:11:48 | |
further solidify Tory support behind
Mrs May, if they think the EU is | 0:11:48 | 0:11:54 | |
trying to push her around.
Norman, thank you. | 0:11:54 | 0:12:00 | |
We'll hear more about
what the Government wants | 0:12:00 | 0:12:02 | |
for the UK financial sector
after Brexit when the | 0:12:02 | 0:12:04 | |
Chancellor gives a speech
in London this afternoon. | 0:12:04 | 0:12:08 | |
Our economics editor
Kamal Ahmed is here. | 0:12:08 | 0:12:11 | |
An important part of the economy, of
course. Absolutely, so a big issue | 0:12:11 | 0:12:17 | |
for us these Brexit negotiations
will be financial services. They | 0:12:17 | 0:12:20 | |
employ over 2 million people across
the UK, not just in London, and we | 0:12:20 | 0:12:25 | |
have a trade surplus with the EU
with about £20 billion a year so, | 0:12:25 | 0:12:29 | |
for us, it is a very important part
of the Brexit negotiation. Philip | 0:12:29 | 0:12:34 | |
Hammond this afternoon is likely to
say that any free-trade deal should | 0:12:34 | 0:12:38 | |
include a good deal on financial
services, maintaining access between | 0:12:38 | 0:12:43 | |
the EU and Britain. So far, the
European commission has been pretty | 0:12:43 | 0:12:48 | |
negative on this idea. Michel
Barnier, the chief Brexit negotiator | 0:12:48 | 0:12:54 | |
for the commission, has said there
has never been a free-trade deal | 0:12:54 | 0:12:56 | |
including financial services done by
the EU with a third country, which | 0:12:56 | 0:12:59 | |
is what we will be. Butternut Donald
Tusk press conference we have just | 0:12:59 | 0:13:04 | |
seen that Norman was talking about,
he did say that a free-trade deal | 0:13:04 | 0:13:08 | |
would look at all areas, including
services. So there could be a slight | 0:13:08 | 0:13:15 | |
opening for a negotiation. This is a
negotiation. Philip Hammond will set | 0:13:15 | 0:13:20 | |
out one stall, close alignment, the
European Union are going to say that | 0:13:20 | 0:13:25 | |
that will be really difficult.
Somewhere in the middle, I am sure, | 0:13:25 | 0:13:28 | |
there will be a way of organising it
so that the deal me, yes, be more | 0:13:28 | 0:13:32 | |
difficult in terms of the
relationship between the EU and | 0:13:32 | 0:13:35 | |
Britain, but it won't be a complete
brick wall between the two sites. , | 0:13:35 | 0:13:41 | |
Ahmed, thank you very much. | 0:13:41 | 0:13:45 | |
Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince,
Mohammed Bin Salman, | 0:13:45 | 0:13:47 | |
is having lunch with the Queen
at the start of a three-day visit | 0:13:47 | 0:13:50 | |
to the UK, during which he's also
scheduled to have dinner | 0:13:50 | 0:13:52 | |
with the Prince of Wales,
and talks with the Prime Minister | 0:13:52 | 0:13:55 | |
about trade and security. | 0:13:55 | 0:13:56 | |
But campaigners are planning
protests - highlighting | 0:13:56 | 0:13:58 | |
Saudi Arabia's human rights record,
and its role in the war in Yemen. | 0:13:58 | 0:14:01 | |
Here's our security
correspondent Frank Gardner. | 0:14:01 | 0:14:09 | |
Touching down in Britain last night,
Saudi TV showed Brown crisper | 0:14:09 | 0:14:13 | |
hammered Bilson man being greeted by
Boris Johnson and others. -- Crown | 0:14:13 | 0:14:20 | |
Prince Mohammed bin Salman. A lavish
public relations campaign has | 0:14:20 | 0:14:24 | |
alerted Londoners to his visit. But
so too has this, anti-war protesters | 0:14:24 | 0:14:30 | |
say the Prince has blood on his
hands for Saudi led air strikes in | 0:14:30 | 0:14:35 | |
Yemen. They want the Government to
stop defence sales to Saudi Arabia. | 0:14:35 | 0:14:40 | |
Defence and security contracts
dominate trade with the UK. They are | 0:14:40 | 0:14:44 | |
worth billions of pounds and employ
thousands of Britons but in | 0:14:44 | 0:14:49 | |
neighbouring Yemen, Saudi led air
strikes on who the rebels have been | 0:14:49 | 0:14:52 | |
blamed for mounting civilian
casualties, which prompted a | 0:14:52 | 0:14:56 | |
question in Parliament this morning
over whether with a poor human | 0:14:56 | 0:15:00 | |
rights record, Saudi Arabia is a
suitable ally. As she makes her arms | 0:15:00 | 0:15:07 | |
sales pitch, will see also call the
Crown prince to stop the shocking | 0:15:07 | 0:15:11 | |
abuse of human rights in Saudi
Arabia? The link that we have with | 0:15:11 | 0:15:16 | |
Saudi Arabia is historic, it is an
important want it I will be raising | 0:15:16 | 0:15:20 | |
concerns about human rights with the
Crown prince when I meet him. Back | 0:15:20 | 0:15:25 | |
home, the Crown Prince is rapidly
modernising his country. He has | 0:15:25 | 0:15:29 | |
lifted the ban on women driving from
June. Cinemas public entertainment | 0:15:29 | 0:15:33 | |
are being reintroduced and a new
mega city built. He is also aiming | 0:15:33 | 0:15:38 | |
to diversify the economy away from
oil, which means attracting British | 0:15:38 | 0:15:42 | |
investment. And with Brexit looming,
the Government here is looking to | 0:15:42 | 0:15:46 | |
boost its with it biggest trading
partner. The Crown Prince is no | 0:15:46 | 0:15:52 | |
democratic top slot at 200 prominent
Saudis in this hotel last year, | 0:15:52 | 0:15:54 | |
accusing them of corruption. His
critics say beheadings have | 0:15:54 | 0:15:59 | |
increased since he rose to power and
his ethics are worrying some foreign | 0:15:59 | 0:16:04 | |
investors. The Crown Prince is a man
in a hurry, as he sits down for | 0:16:04 | 0:16:08 | |
lunch with the Queen today, and his
message is that a new modern Saudi | 0:16:08 | 0:16:13 | |
Arabia is open for business. But
this relationship will always be a | 0:16:13 | 0:16:16 | |
controversial one. Frank Gardner,
BBC News. | 0:16:16 | 0:16:21 | |
Our Diplomatic
Correspondent James Robbins | 0:16:21 | 0:16:22 | |
is at Buckingham Palace. | 0:16:22 | 0:16:26 | |
And the Crown Prince is now bear. He
is, he's having lunch now with the | 0:16:26 | 0:16:32 | |
Queen and it is a mark of the
seriousness which the government | 0:16:32 | 0:16:35 | |
applies to this visit and this
relationship that he is having lunch | 0:16:35 | 0:16:38 | |
with the Queen and dinner later on
with the heiress to the throne, | 0:16:38 | 0:16:44 | |
Prince Charles and Prince William
put up an indication of the fact | 0:16:44 | 0:16:47 | |
that this is everything short of a
state visit. The Tories may have | 0:16:47 | 0:16:52 | |
been cleared this is a controversial
visit, strongly opposed to many. She | 0:16:52 | 0:16:56 | |
and the government take the view
they think it is vital that the UK | 0:16:56 | 0:17:00 | |
maintains its long-standing
lectureship with Saudi Arabia in | 0:17:00 | 0:17:03 | |
spite of all the criticism. So for
instance we can expect the Crown | 0:17:03 | 0:17:08 | |
Prince to receive a detailed
briefing on security from senior | 0:17:08 | 0:17:12 | |
officials on the National Security
Council, but the UK said Saudi | 0:17:12 | 0:17:17 | |
Arabia through its security
cooperation with UK helps to keep us | 0:17:17 | 0:17:20 | |
safe. I think we can expect some new
trade deals unveiled by the Crown | 0:17:20 | 0:17:26 | |
Prince is in London. The UK says it
wants to broaden trade but would | 0:17:26 | 0:17:29 | |
like to see diversification away
from the huge emphasis on arms sales | 0:17:29 | 0:17:36 | |
which is so controversial. So I
think you may see deals perhaps | 0:17:36 | 0:17:38 | |
selling some educational and health
care services to Saudi Arabia, | 0:17:38 | 0:17:42 | |
perhaps a private school opening
shortly in the kingdom. But it | 0:17:42 | 0:17:48 | |
remains a difficult and
controversial path that the | 0:17:48 | 0:17:50 | |
government is steering. Thank you. | 0:17:50 | 0:17:52 | |

Our Home Affairs Correspondent
June Kelly is following | 0:18:54 | 0:18:55 | |
the trial at the Old Bailey. | 0:18:55 | 0:19:03 | |
I'm sure people not just in London
but around the country will remember | 0:19:04 | 0:19:08 | |
a major security alert on the cheap
in London last September. Today the | 0:19:08 | 0:19:12 | |
Old Bailey was told a tragedy was
only averted because the device | 0:19:12 | 0:19:16 | |
involved failed to fully go off. | 0:19:16 | 0:19:20 | |
An autumn morning in the rush-hour
and there an emergency | 0:19:20 | 0:19:23 | |
on an underground train in west
London. | 0:19:23 | 0:19:29 | |
Today the Old Bailey heard how last
September an improvised explosive | 0:19:29 | 0:19:32 | |
device partially detonated
on a District line train. | 0:19:32 | 0:19:33 | |
It had just pulled into
Parsons Green station. | 0:19:33 | 0:19:37 | |
This partial explosion created
a large fireball in the carriage. | 0:19:37 | 0:19:41 | |
There were around 93 passengers
in the carriage, the court was told, | 0:19:41 | 0:19:45 | |
some were caught by the flames
and sustained significant burns. | 0:19:45 | 0:19:50 | |
Today the teenager on trial
for the attack was brought to court | 0:19:50 | 0:19:54 | |
to face charges of attempted murder
and causing an explosion | 0:19:54 | 0:19:57 | |
likely to endanger life. | 0:19:57 | 0:20:02 | |
18-year-old Ahmed Hassan,
an asylum seeker from Iraq, | 0:20:02 | 0:20:04 | |
is pleading not guilty. | 0:20:04 | 0:20:06 | |
At the time of his arrest he had
been living with foster parents. | 0:20:06 | 0:20:10 | |
Opening the case,
the prosecutor Alison Morgan | 0:20:10 | 0:20:13 | |
said of the passengers,
many ran in fear and panic. | 0:20:13 | 0:20:16 | |
They were fortunate. | 0:20:16 | 0:20:18 | |
Had the device fully detonated
it is inevitable that serious injury | 0:20:18 | 0:20:22 | |
and significant damage would have
been caused within the carriage. | 0:20:22 | 0:20:26 | |
Those in close proximity to the
device may well have been killed. | 0:20:26 | 0:20:31 | |
The jury heard that Ahmed Hassan had
left the device in a bucket. | 0:20:31 | 0:20:39 | |
It was said to be loaded
with shrapnel to cause | 0:20:41 | 0:20:46 | |
maximum harm and carnage. | 0:20:46 | 0:20:51 | |
And he had used the explosive DHCP. | 0:20:51 | 0:20:52 | |
The device was fitted with a timer. | 0:20:52 | 0:20:54 | |
Ahmed Hassan had got off
the train one station before. | 0:20:54 | 0:20:56 | |
He was arrested 24 hours later. | 0:20:56 | 0:21:01 | |
Well Ahmed Hassan was actually
arrested in Dover. The jury have | 0:21:01 | 0:21:04 | |
been shown the effect of the
fireball in the carriage as part of | 0:21:04 | 0:21:09 | |
the prosecution case. | 0:21:09 | 0:21:11 | |
President Trump's top
economic advisor, | 0:21:11 | 0:21:12 | |
Gary Cohn, has resigned -
in the latest high profile departure | 0:21:12 | 0:21:15 | |
from the White House team. | 0:21:15 | 0:21:17 | |
Mr Cohn - a Democrat -
was a key architect | 0:21:17 | 0:21:22 | |
of the Administration's huge
package of tax cuts. | 0:21:22 | 0:21:24 | |
The former Wall St Banker
is rumoured to have been unhappy | 0:21:24 | 0:21:27 | |
that Mr Trump could trigger a trade
war by imposing tariffs on steel | 0:21:27 | 0:21:30 | |
and aluminium imports. | 0:21:30 | 0:21:31 | |
It's the latest in a series
of high-profile departures | 0:21:31 | 0:21:33 | |
from President Trump's team. | 0:21:33 | 0:21:39 | |
The country's four main secondary
ticketing agencies have | 0:21:39 | 0:21:42 | |
been banned from using some price
strategies which the Advertising | 0:21:42 | 0:21:44 | |
Standards Authority
says are misleading. | 0:21:44 | 0:21:49 | |
It means StubHub, Get Me In,
Viagogo and Seatwave must be clear | 0:21:49 | 0:21:52 | |
from the outset about the total
price of any ticket they sell - | 0:21:52 | 0:21:55 | |
or face prosecution. | 0:21:55 | 0:21:58 | |
Nina Warhurst reports. | 0:21:58 | 0:22:06 | |
The Rolling Stones are coming
to town and I'm keen to be there. | 0:22:06 | 0:22:11 | |
The secondary ticketing site Viagogo
is reselling a ticket for £141. | 0:22:11 | 0:22:18 | |
But when I go to pay, this happens. | 0:22:18 | 0:22:20 | |
SHE GASPS. | 0:22:20 | 0:22:22 | |
£47 VAT and booking fee. | 0:22:22 | 0:22:25 | |
So a ticket that we thought
was costing us £141 | 0:22:25 | 0:22:27 | |
is now almost 200 quid. | 0:22:27 | 0:22:32 | |
These nasty surprises are common. | 0:22:32 | 0:22:36 | |
Claire used Viagogo to buy
four Ed Sheerin tickets. | 0:22:36 | 0:22:39 | |
She thought it was costing less
than £300, but that was for one | 0:22:39 | 0:22:43 | |
ticket and after fees were added,
more than £1400 left her account. | 0:22:43 | 0:22:47 | |
I rang my daughter crying
and I said, you know, | 0:22:47 | 0:22:50 | |
and thought I had done something... | 0:22:50 | 0:22:52 | |
I think the awful feeling is that
I felt I'd done something wrong. | 0:22:52 | 0:22:56 | |
Then I realised I hadn't,
actually, that this whole | 0:22:56 | 0:22:58 | |
practice was very deceptive. | 0:22:58 | 0:23:02 | |
We contacted Viagogo for a response
but didn't get a reply. | 0:23:02 | 0:23:09 | |
And today new guidelines come
into play which could see | 0:23:09 | 0:23:12 | |
secondary sellers prosecuted
if they mislead consumers. | 0:23:12 | 0:23:14 | |
We are saying that they've got to be
much more clear and upfront | 0:23:14 | 0:23:17 | |
about the prices that we are paying
when we buy tickets | 0:23:17 | 0:23:20 | |
through their sites. | 0:23:20 | 0:23:21 | |
And in a nutshell we are saying
the price that we see when we first | 0:23:21 | 0:23:24 | |
input how many tickets we want
should be the price | 0:23:24 | 0:23:27 | |
that we pay at the end. | 0:23:27 | 0:23:30 | |
But some artists say that
still leaves space for expensive | 0:23:30 | 0:23:33 | |
exploitation of fans. | 0:23:33 | 0:23:35 | |
So what would they like to see? | 0:23:35 | 0:23:43 | |
If you can't make a show, you can
sell it through the secondary | 0:23:44 | 0:23:47 | |
site for the same price
and you get your money back | 0:23:47 | 0:23:49 | |
and then someone can buy it
for face value plus whatever | 0:23:49 | 0:23:52 | |
the administration was. | 0:23:52 | 0:23:53 | |
So if they can actually
still see their favourite artist | 0:23:53 | 0:23:56 | |
without sacrificing a family
holiday, for example. | 0:23:56 | 0:23:57 | |
If you've already forked out fees
to see Mick and the gang, | 0:23:57 | 0:24:00 | |
you can appeal them and next time
they are on tour, the ticket price | 0:24:00 | 0:24:04 | |
you see should be what you get. | 0:24:04 | 0:24:05 | |

Nearly a year ago, the life
of police constable | 0:24:11 | 0:24:14 | |
Kris Aves changed forever,
when he was injured in the terrorist | 0:24:14 | 0:24:16 | |
attack on Westminster bridge. | 0:24:16 | 0:24:18 | |
He was left paralysed
and no longer able to live | 0:24:18 | 0:24:20 | |
at home with his family. | 0:24:20 | 0:24:26 | |
But a call for help from the DIY SOS
team was met with the biggest | 0:24:26 | 0:24:29 | |
response for volunteers
in the show's history. | 0:24:29 | 0:24:32 | |
Daniela Relph has the story. | 0:24:32 | 0:24:34 | |
Thursday, the 23rd of March. | 0:24:34 | 0:24:36 | |
The morning after the
Westminster Bridge attack. | 0:24:36 | 0:24:43 | |
Five people died and 40
people were injured, | 0:24:43 | 0:24:45 | |
some of them suffering what has been
described as catastrophic | 0:24:45 | 0:24:47 | |
injuries... | 0:24:47 | 0:24:48 | |
One of those with catastrophic
injuries was Metropolitan Police | 0:24:48 | 0:24:50 | |
constable Kris Aves. | 0:24:50 | 0:24:53 | |
Critically injured as he walked
across the bridge. | 0:24:53 | 0:24:56 | |
For much of the past year he's been
in Stoke Mandeville Hospital. | 0:24:56 | 0:24:59 | |
He dislocated his vertebrae,
damaged his spinal cord | 0:24:59 | 0:25:02 | |
and is now in a wheelchair. | 0:25:02 | 0:25:05 | |
But what he wanted more
than anything was to get home to his | 0:25:05 | 0:25:08 | |
partner and two young children. | 0:25:08 | 0:25:11 | |
It makes me sad
when I think forward. | 0:25:11 | 0:25:17 | |
To go swimming, I don't know how I'm
going to be in a pool having | 0:25:17 | 0:25:20 | |
a fun session with them. | 0:25:20 | 0:25:21 | |
I won't be able to stand up and kick
a football with them. | 0:25:21 | 0:25:24 | |
And I kind of just feel... | 0:25:24 | 0:25:26 | |
You know, it's just been
taken away from me. | 0:25:26 | 0:25:30 | |
And it's not fair. | 0:25:30 | 0:25:35 | |
The kids just ask a lot of questions
about stuff and about why did daddy | 0:25:35 | 0:25:40 | |
get hit, was he not looking
when he crossed the road? | 0:25:40 | 0:25:43 | |
And things like that. | 0:25:43 | 0:25:44 | |
And it's quite hard to answer them. | 0:25:44 | 0:25:46 | |
At the end of last year the DIY
SOS team stepped in. | 0:25:46 | 0:25:49 | |
This is DIY SOS! | 0:25:49 | 0:25:53 | |
They took the family's north London
home and transformed it. | 0:25:53 | 0:25:57 | |
They asked for volunteers to help. | 0:25:57 | 0:26:00 | |
The programme had never had such
an enormous response. | 0:26:00 | 0:26:04 | |
Sometimes we look at the police
and the people who go out, | 0:26:04 | 0:26:07 | |
emergency services, and do
what they do for us. | 0:26:07 | 0:26:09 | |
But we forget, behind every
person there is a family. | 0:26:09 | 0:26:12 | |
They are not just uniforms,
there are people in uniforms | 0:26:12 | 0:26:14 | |
and their families are affected too. | 0:26:14 | 0:26:16 | |
And obviously what happened to Kris
had a massive effect on the family. | 0:26:16 | 0:26:19 | |
We had exclusive access to the build
and the team's work. | 0:26:19 | 0:26:22 | |
Doorways were widened allowing
access for Kris's wheelchair. | 0:26:22 | 0:26:28 | |
In the kitchen surfaces were lowered
and space made to cook. | 0:26:28 | 0:26:33 | |
A lift was built. | 0:26:33 | 0:26:35 | |
The first of its kind
in a family home, so Kris can | 0:26:35 | 0:26:38 | |
move between floors. | 0:26:38 | 0:26:40 | |
In the garden, a complete redesign. | 0:26:40 | 0:26:42 | |
All to ensure there is space to play
with his son and daughter. | 0:26:42 | 0:26:47 | |
This entire project has been
about creating a family home. | 0:26:47 | 0:26:50 | |
A place where everyone
could be involved. | 0:26:50 | 0:26:51 | |
And live properly, together again. | 0:26:51 | 0:26:54 | |
The whole build took
nine days to complete. | 0:26:54 | 0:26:57 | |
And depended totally
on the generosity of others. | 0:26:57 | 0:27:00 | |
Every day there was
just ten, 20 people. | 0:27:00 | 0:27:03 | |
Do you want a hand? | 0:27:03 | 0:27:04 | |
Do you need a tiler? | 0:27:04 | 0:27:05 | |
Do you need a decorator? | 0:27:05 | 0:27:08 | |
And not just builders. | 0:27:08 | 0:27:09 | |
Cake. | 0:27:09 | 0:27:10 | |
We get lots of cake delivered. | 0:27:10 | 0:27:11 | |
Crucial! | 0:27:11 | 0:27:13 | |
Cake is crucial! | 0:27:13 | 0:27:14 | |
Yeah, that's how the site works. | 0:27:14 | 0:27:15 | |
Cake and tea. | 0:27:15 | 0:27:16 | |
Tonight the programme will reveal
what Kris Aves made of his new home. | 0:27:16 | 0:27:22 | |
And the impact on one family
whose life was so changed | 0:27:22 | 0:27:24 | |
by events of almost a year ago. | 0:27:26 | 0:27:27 | |
Daniella Relph, BBC
News, north London. | 0:27:27 | 0:27:31 | |
And you can see the full
programme tonight - | 0:27:31 | 0:27:35 | |
that's DIY SOS, on BBC One at 8pm,
and available shortly | 0:27:35 | 0:27:37 | |
afterwards on the iPlayer. | 0:27:37 | 0:27:45 | |
For decades red squirrels have been
in decline across the UK, | 0:27:45 | 0:27:48 | |
as the non-native grey
species has spread. | 0:27:48 | 0:27:53 | |
Now it appears the pine marten may
be key to the recovery | 0:27:53 | 0:27:56 | |
of the red population. | 0:27:56 | 0:27:58 | |
Scientists at the University
of Aberdeen have carried | 0:27:58 | 0:28:02 | |
out an in-depth study
of the relationship | 0:28:02 | 0:28:04 | |
between the three species. | 0:28:04 | 0:28:05 | |
Our Science Correspondent
Victoria Gill explains. | 0:28:05 | 0:28:10 | |
It is an idyllic woodland site but a
glimpse of ecological warfare. Red | 0:28:10 | 0:28:17 | |
squirrels have been losing a battle
with the larger invasive grey | 0:28:17 | 0:28:20 | |
squirrels for a century but a new
character has joined in the fray. | 0:28:20 | 0:28:29 | |
Scientists from the University of
Aberdeen used feeding boxes to | 0:28:29 | 0:28:35 | |
gather forensic evidence of how the
three species coexist in Scottish | 0:28:35 | 0:28:37 | |
forest. | 0:28:37 | 0:28:42 | |
forest. Feeding boxes like this are
ideal for gathering evidence about | 0:28:42 | 0:28:46 | |
how the three species are
interacting. The red squirrels are | 0:28:46 | 0:28:49 | |
using them and the grey squirrels
and also the pine martens. Leading | 0:28:49 | 0:28:54 | |
evidence behind for scientists to
gather. Every time an animal visits | 0:28:54 | 0:29:00 | |
the feeding box it leaves behind a
hair sample. This evidence along | 0:29:00 | 0:29:04 | |
with images from remote cameras has
revealed that pine martens are | 0:29:04 | 0:29:07 | |
giving the red squirrels and
unexpected boost. Where activities | 0:29:07 | 0:29:12 | |
high amongst pine martens you have a
lot of red squirrels coming back | 0:29:12 | 0:29:17 | |
into areas where they had not been
in some time. So the higher the | 0:29:17 | 0:29:21 | |
activity of pine martens the more
likely you are to see red squirrels | 0:29:21 | 0:29:24 | |
and the less likely to see grey
squirrels. So they are retracting | 0:29:24 | 0:29:29 | |
from areas that they had been in
previously as the pine martens moved | 0:29:29 | 0:29:34 | |
in. These nocturnal tree climbing
predators are gradually returning to | 0:29:34 | 0:29:39 | |
Scottish bars after being hunted as
pets and for their fur almost to | 0:29:39 | 0:29:44 | |
extinction. Scientists think that
pine martens are able to catch and | 0:29:44 | 0:29:46 | |
eat the grey squirrel is more easily
than the red squirrels. Grey | 0:29:46 | 0:29:50 | |
squirrels spend more time on the
ground and in North America where | 0:29:50 | 0:29:54 | |
they evolved they did not encounter
a hunter quite so adept at climbing | 0:29:54 | 0:29:59 | |
trees. This newly discovered
relationship between native species | 0:29:59 | 0:30:02 | |
scientists say will be crucial to
the woodland recovery of the red | 0:30:02 | 0:30:07 | |
squirrels. Now just an update on the
main story. | 0:30:07 | 0:30:17 | |
The suspected poisoning | 0:30:17 | 0:30:18 | |
of the former Russian spy -
and his daughter. | 0:30:18 | 0:30:20 | |

Well you can see behind me the
Italian restaurant that has been | 0:30:25 | 0:30:29 | |
sealed off since Monday. Within the
last 30 minutes we had a major | 0:30:29 | 0:30:35 | |
emergency service presence here. You
can see police and ambulances are | 0:30:35 | 0:30:39 | |
now here and we had fire engines and
more ambulances that came to the | 0:30:39 | 0:30:45 | |
building next to the Italian
restaurant. There was a big | 0:30:45 | 0:30:48 | |
presence, an instant response unit
and one woman was accompanied into | 0:30:48 | 0:30:51 | |
an ambulance from that doping. We do
not know as yet whether this is | 0:30:51 | 0:30:56 | |
connect to what happened but the
building the emergency services went | 0:30:56 | 0:30:59 | |
into was next to the Italian
restaurant that has been a place of | 0:30:59 | 0:31:03 | |
interest certainly for the
investigation so far. Thank you. | 0:31:03 | 0:31:08 | |
Time for a look at the weather. | 0:31:08 | 0:31:10 | |
Here's Stav Danaos. | 0:31:10 | 0:31:13 | |
Good afternoon. Still quite a wintry
theme across the northern half of | 0:31:14 | 0:31:20 | |
the UK today. And you can see
further snowfall around in races. | 0:31:20 | 0:31:27 | |
But further south any showers are
rain and in the sunshine it will | 0:31:27 | 0:31:33 | |
feel almost springlike. So for the
rest of the afternoon a mixture of | 0:31:33 | 0:31:38 | |
sunny spells and showers. Many
places staying dry altogether. The | 0:31:38 | 0:31:43 | |
showers Kent to fizzle out into this
evening. A couple of wintry showers | 0:31:43 | 0:31:47 | |
continuing towards Scotland put up
and cold with some ice to watch out | 0:31:47 | 0:31:54 | |
for. Across the South and West we
have this feature, mainly rain but | 0:31:54 | 0:31:58 | |
also some cold air and that could
give rise to some snowfall even down | 0:31:58 | 0:32:04 | |
to lower levels for a time. So there
could be a bit of disruption from | 0:32:04 | 0:32:11 | |
this feature, nothing compared to
what we had last week. But those | 0:32:11 | 0:32:19 | |
white areas indicating the snow. It
could give rise to a couple of | 0:32:19 | 0:32:24 | |
centimetres of snow, enough to cause
a bit of disruption through the | 0:32:24 | 0:32:28 | |
morning rush. It should clear away
later in the morning and in fact | 0:32:28 | 0:32:34 | |
things brightening up quite nicely
for most. Some showers across the | 0:32:34 | 0:32:39 | |
North and West and again wintry over
the higher ground in Scotland. | 0:32:39 | 0:32:43 | |
Further south up to 10 degrees. | 0:32:43 | 0:32:50 | |
Further south up to 10 degrees. Into
Friday, and I'm - again a decent day | 0:32:50 | 0:32:56 | |
with a lot of sunshine around. More
showers across Scotland wintry over | 0:32:56 | 0:33:00 | |
the higher ground bust up and into
the far south of the country we have | 0:33:00 | 0:33:04 | |
an area of rain pushing into the
Southern counties in towards the | 0:33:04 | 0:33:07 | |
south-west. That will arrive with
some milder air. That will spread | 0:33:07 | 0:33:13 | |
its way slowly north as we had into
the weekend. The blue colour holding | 0:33:13 | 0:33:19 | |
on across the northern half of the
country so as the rain across the | 0:33:19 | 0:33:24 | |
South moves north, likely to have
some snow on its leading edge. But | 0:33:24 | 0:33:30 | |
further south noticeably milder with
some sunny spells. Back to you. | 0:33:30 | 0:33:36 | |
further south noticeably milder with
some sunny spells. Back to you. | 0:33:36 | 0:33:43 |
