MP Natalie McGarry withdraws from the SNP whip over a police inquiry | :01:01. | :01:04. | |

we're under prepared. Good evening and welcome to the | :01:10. | :01:29. | |
BBC News at six. Russia has reacted with fury | :01:30. | :01:31. | |
after one of its fighter jets was shot down by the Turkish military | :01:32. | :01:34. | |
near Turkey's border with Syria. Turkey insisted the aircraft had | :01:35. | :01:37. | |
violated its airspace and had been warned repeatedly to | :01:38. | :01:39. | |
leave, but President Putin said the jet was over Syria and called | :01:40. | :01:42. | |
the incident a stab in the back The two man crew ejected before the | :01:43. | :01:45. | |
plane came down just inside Syria. In a moment, the latest from Russia, | :01:46. | :02:02. | |
but first Mark Lowen reports and collapsing into flames, a | :02:03. | :02:13. | |
Russian jet plunges through the skies above the downed by a Turkish | :02:14. | :02:26. | |
strike, the plane is the explosion visible from afar, acrid smoke | :02:27. | :02:32. | |
billowing above. It is the cost, says Turkey, of Russia violating its | :02:33. | :02:37. | |
airspace. Just visible, the parachutes of the pilots escaping | :02:38. | :02:41. | |
the crash. Russian helicopters were sent in to search for them but | :02:42. | :02:48. | |
Syrian rebels said Turkey immediately released an image which | :02:49. | :02:55. | |
it said shows the route Su-24. The flight path appears to cross the | :02:56. | :02:59. | |
Syrian border into Turkey, Moscow denies it. The Turkish prime | :03:00. | :03:03. | |
minister insisted its country had simply carried out the rules of | :03:04. | :03:07. | |
engagement and the Russian plane had been warned ten times. TRANSLATION: | :03:08. | :03:12. | |
We have never been a country with designs against another country but | :03:13. | :03:15. | |
everyone should know Turkey has the right to respond if its airspace is | :03:16. | :03:23. | |
violated, this is what everyone feared might happen when Russia | :03:24. | :03:29. | |
began but a crowded airspace and rival allegiances could provoke an | :03:30. | :03:33. | |
incident. This is not just Turkey against Russia, Ankara is a vital | :03:34. | :03:38. | |
Nato member with a military alliance behind it. The fear is this so, why | :03:39. | :03:47. | |
did Turkey strike now? In recent days Russia has targeted this | :03:48. | :03:54. | |
minoritys, a Turkish speaking ethnic group who have been fighting against | :03:55. | :03:59. | |
the Assad regime and are strongly supported by Ankara. They say their | :04:00. | :04:03. | |
fighters shot and killed the Russian pilots but the Turkish authorities | :04:04. | :04:06. | |
say that is untrue and both pilots are alive and trying to like a | :04:07. | :04:13. | |
fireball in the sky, the first time a Russian jet has been shot down by | :04:14. | :04:18. | |
a Nato member in over half a century. This is in Syria, this is | :04:19. | :04:34. | |
the heart this month, the Russians gave us to Su-24. They said the war | :04:35. | :04:47. | |
on terror was going to plan but hadn't planned on Turkey shooting | :04:48. | :04:53. | |
down one when it came, the Kremlin's reaction was one of | :04:54. | :05:01. | |
disbelief we have been stabbed in the back by the accomplices of | :05:02. | :05:05. | |
terrorism, President Putin said, and promised there would be serious | :05:06. | :05:09. | |
consequences for Turkey. Vladimir Putin is known for his strong | :05:10. | :05:12. | |
language but it doesn't get much stronger than this, equating Turkey | :05:13. | :05:16. | |
with terrorists, Nato with Islamic State, and pledging Russia will not | :05:17. | :05:25. | |
stand by while such Moscow insists its air force is operating solely | :05:26. | :05:29. | |
over Syria and that the fighter jet that was shot down today had not | :05:30. | :05:34. | |
crossed into Turkey, but Russian jets have strayed into Turkish | :05:35. | :05:39. | |
airspace before. Those violations recorded at Nato's command centre. | :05:40. | :05:43. | |
Last month the Alliance accused Moscow of irresponsible behaviour | :05:44. | :05:50. | |
but where does relations between Russia I think never for the last | :05:51. | :05:54. | |
probably 50 years did we have anything as significant in terms of | :05:55. | :05:59. | |
Russia and Nato or air confrontation, especially is there | :06:00. | :06:09. | |
is a message on this bomb, revenge for Paris. Moscow insists its air | :06:10. | :06:14. | |
strikes are all about destroying international terrorism and that the | :06:15. | :06:18. | |
shooting down of one of its jets will not halt | :06:19. | :06:28. | |
President Obama has been speaking in Washington in the past hour about | :06:29. | :06:31. | |
the downing of the Russian warplane and about the fight against | :06:32. | :06:34. | |
so-called Islamic State. Our North America Editor, Jon Sopel, is there. | :06:35. | :06:37. | |
just when you of Syria cannot get any more intractable, another layer | :06:38. | :06:46. | |
of complex of tea arrives with the downing of that Turkish plane, and | :06:47. | :06:51. | |
this on a day when there was encouraging that Russians could be | :06:52. | :07:01. | |
brought. Inevitably it was the first question Barack Obama was asked in | :07:02. | :07:05. | |
the news conference, still going on behind me, and this | :07:06. | :07:11. | |
Turkey, like every country, has a right to defend | :07:12. | :07:13. | |
I think it's very important right now | :07:14. | :07:16. | |
for us to make sure that both the Russians and the Turks are talking | :07:17. | :07:20. | |
to each other, and find out exactly what happened, and take measures to | :07:21. | :07:23. | |
he went on to say the Russians were taking huge risks in operating so | :07:24. | :07:43. | |
close to the Turkish border. We await the Russian reaction, in the | :07:44. | :07:48. | |
meantime it is fair to say that in Washington and elsewhere, anxiety | :07:49. | :07:54. | |
Alton Towers says human error was to blame for the roller-coaster crash | :07:55. | :07:57. | |
this year, which left five people seriously injured. A report by the | :07:58. | :08:00. | |
theme park said the ride's safety control systems had been manually | :08:01. | :08:03. | |
overridden. Two young women who were trapped for hours on the Smiler ride | :08:04. | :08:06. | |
had to have amputations as a result of the accident last June. Sian | :08:07. | :08:09. | |
the theme park is now closed for Smiler has been closed for almost | :08:10. | :08:28. | |
six months. News today that it will reopen and human error is to blame | :08:29. | :08:31. | |
for the crash has come out of the blue for many of the victims. The | :08:32. | :08:35. | |
company is refusing to say whether anyone will lose their jobs, but the | :08:36. | :08:46. | |
victims say they want to -- Health and Safety Executive report before | :08:47. | :08:53. | |
making the Smiler ride was grounded in June. This is how it looked when | :08:54. | :08:57. | |
emergency services rushed to the scene. 16 people were injured when | :08:58. | :09:03. | |
two carriages collided. We now know that staff had made a mistake, it | :09:04. | :09:13. | |
resulted in life changing consequences these four were sitting | :09:14. | :09:18. | |
in the front row. The two young women both her legs amputated | :09:19. | :09:23. | |
following the crash. After completing its the owners of Merlin | :09:24. | :09:28. | |
Entertainments, reveals today that human error was to blame. Staff had | :09:29. | :09:35. | |
wrongly restarted the Smiler, overriding the control system. There | :09:36. | :09:39. | |
were no technical or mechanical issues at fault. When the new season | :09:40. | :09:44. | |
begins in March, Alton Towers said the Smiler will be open for business | :09:45. | :09:49. | |
but with improved safety. The changes include more CCTV cameras | :09:50. | :09:56. | |
being installed staff will be given enhanced training, and perhaps | :09:57. | :10:00. | |
crucially there will be no manual override without Vicky Balch has had | :10:01. | :10:08. | |
to learn to walk again. Many of the victims said tonight it was too | :10:09. | :10:12. | |
early to comment on today's developments but Vicky has told the | :10:13. | :10:19. | |
BBC how her it is indescribable, it hurts so much and I can still feel | :10:20. | :10:24. | |
how it did feel, if you will. Members of the Health and Safety | :10:25. | :10:31. | |
Executive examined the Smiler ride immediately their findings have yet | :10:32. | :10:47. | |
The NHS in England is to get an extra ?3.8 billion next year. | :10:48. | :10:50. | |
The money is to pay partly for a full seven day-a-week health | :10:51. | :10:53. | |
But news of the extra money comes a day before the | :10:54. | :10:56. | |
Chancellor's Autumn Statement, in which he's expected to outline | :10:57. | :10:58. | |
A day ahead of the main Spending Review and the Chancellor, George | :10:59. | :11:09. | |
Osborne, has given NHS leaders what they want for next year, | :11:10. | :11:12. | |
but in return they have to become more efficient | :11:13. | :11:15. | |
We are giving money up front so the NHS can implement its own plan | :11:16. | :11:20. | |
There have to be savings elsewhere in Government spending to pay | :11:21. | :11:24. | |
for this, but it just goes to show, you can only have a strong NHS | :11:25. | :11:27. | |
The spending deal for NHS England sees ?3.8 billion extra | :11:28. | :11:31. | |
above inflation allocated for next year, it then sees steady rises to | :11:32. | :11:34. | |
fulfil an election pledge and reach more than 8 billion extra by 2020. | :11:35. | :11:37. | |
Ministers say that all comes on top of the 2 billion invested | :11:38. | :11:40. | |
Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland's budget will go up as well. | :11:41. | :11:44. | |
Details will become clear in the Spending Review. | :11:45. | :11:48. | |
The effectiveness of the NHS depends not just on cash but also | :11:49. | :11:51. | |
If there's pressure on care homes, for example, | :11:52. | :11:54. | |
it's harder to discharge elderly patients from hospital. | :11:55. | :11:59. | |
In the last few years social care funding in England has been reduced | :12:00. | :12:02. | |
and in many ways that's made the NHS's task more difficult. | :12:03. | :12:05. | |
What we don't yet know is whether cuts will continue or | :12:06. | :12:07. | |
whether social care budgets will be held steady, that will only become | :12:08. | :12:10. | |
clear in the Spending Review announcement tomorrow. | :12:11. | :12:15. | |
Care home providers are concerned that the Government | :12:16. | :12:17. | |
I think this is good news for the NHS but I think we must | :12:18. | :12:25. | |
understand there is a crisis in social care, and the NHS and social | :12:26. | :12:28. | |
-- interdependent. You cannot support one bit of the system | :12:29. | :12:47. | |
without putting money into social care. | :12:48. | :12:49. | |
And even the head of NHS England, while happy with his deal, | :12:50. | :12:52. | |
acknowledges that social care needs a major overhaul. | :12:53. | :12:53. | |
What we are clearly going to need is not only new resourcing for social | :12:54. | :12:57. | |
care but I think we will have to have a big debate in this country | :12:58. | :13:00. | |
about how to ensure social care services are fit for the future, | :13:01. | :13:03. | |
The Chancellor is emphasising NHS investment | :13:04. | :13:07. | |
but pushing through cuts in other areas of health spending, including | :13:08. | :13:10. | |
public health services like smoking cessation, run by local councils. | :13:11. | :13:12. | |
Some might argue that reducing prevention is hardly going to be | :13:13. | :13:15. | |
Almost half a million children could have been sexually abused in England | :13:16. | :13:30. | |
between 2012 and 2014, that's according to the Office | :13:31. | :13:32. | |
It estimates only one in eight of them come to the attention | :13:33. | :13:36. | |
of authorities, partly because most abuse is carried | :13:37. | :13:38. | |
Here's our social affairs correspondent, Alison Holt. | :13:39. | :13:46. | |
, in the homes where they should be safe, according to today's's report | :13:47. | :13:55. | |
the majority of children facing sexual abuse go unnoticed and | :13:56. | :13:59. | |
unprotected. They are easy prey for abusers within one of Maurice's | :14:00. | :14:17. | |
earliest -- is of his father sexually his he tried to tell his | :14:18. | :14:24. | |
mother but of course he got me again and said you've it is only between | :14:25. | :14:30. | |
me and you but I'm only doing it to you so nobody else should do it, I'm | :14:31. | :14:38. | |
only teaching you. That's the. The children's Commissioners report | :14:39. | :14:41. | |
analysed data from police and councils in England, reviewed | :14:42. | :14:44. | |
existing evidence and carried out probably the largest ever survey of | :14:45. | :14:48. | |
abuse survivors. Based on that, it estimates over two years and 450,000 | :14:49. | :14:57. | |
children were sexually abused but only one in eight was known to the | :14:58. | :15:02. | |
authorities. It also says 66% of child sexual abuse is perpetrated by | :15:03. | :15:10. | |
family members or most children say they don't know how to tell, or they | :15:11. | :15:18. | |
are too afraid to tell, so most won't the service because of that | :15:19. | :15:23. | |
and we need to recognise that and change it. They need a child or | :15:24. | :15:31. | |
young person to tell them what happened many who reported the abuse | :15:32. | :15:36. | |
were 12 or over, but for many the abuse had started years before. I | :15:37. | :15:41. | |
think this has got to be a watershed moment for all partners and agencies | :15:42. | :15:45. | |
involved in child protection matters. We like Maurice, many who | :15:46. | :15:57. | |
have been abused only tell their stories as adults. | :15:58. | :16:01. | |
The report says teachers, police and other professionals need more | :16:02. | :16:05. | |
training to spot signs of abuse, as part of a drive to protect children | :16:06. | :16:09. | |
who don't have the words to explain what's | :16:10. | :16:22. | |
Turkey has shot down a Russian fighter plane on the Syrian border. | :16:23. | :16:26. | |
Turkey says the plane violated its airspace, but Russia has denied | :16:27. | :16:29. | |
Andy Murray says he has no doubts about safety as he prepares | :16:30. | :16:33. | |

Coming up on Reporting Scotland at 6.30pm: The son of a woman who | :16:36. | :16:38. | |
died following an explosion in her home has praised her bravery. | :16:39. | :16:40. | |
And, she'd never even visited Scotland | :16:41. | :16:42. | |
We speak to the author of the hit Outlander novels. | :16:43. | :16:51. | |
The President of World Athletics, Lord Coe, | :16:52. | :16:55. | |
is facing fresh allegations of a conflict of interest over his | :16:56. | :17:04. | |
role as an international adviser for the global sportswear giant, Nike. | :17:05. | :17:32. | |
Lord Coe became the president of the IAAF this year. The organisation | :17:33. | :17:35. | |
has been plunged into crisis amidst allegations of corruption and | :17:36. | :17:38. | |
bribery under his predecessor, Lamine Diack. Now a BBC | :17:39. | :17:40. | |
investigation has revealed Lord Coe's role in the controversial | :17:41. | :17:42. | |
awarding of a major athletics championships to the American city | :17:43. | :17:44. | |
of Eugene. He had discussed the bid with a senior Nike executive. Our | :17:45. | :17:47. | |
Correspondent, Mark Daly, has this exclusive report - and we should | :17:48. | :17:50. | |
warn you it contains flash photography. | :17:51. | :17:51. | |
He's the most powerful man in a sport he once graced as an athlete. | :17:52. | :17:55. | |
But tonight, World Athletics Chief, Lord Coe, | :17:56. | :17:56. | |
is facing more questions about an alleged conflict of interest over | :17:57. | :17:59. | |
his paid ambassadorial role with the global sports giants, Nike. | :18:00. | :18:02. | |
In April this year, after a controversial IAAF vote, the | :18:03. | :18:05. | |
2021 World Athletics Championships were awarded here to Eugene, Oregon, | :18:06. | :18:07. | |
Vin Lananna is head of Track Town USA, the organisation | :18:08. | :18:11. | |
behind the Eugene bid which also has close links to Nike. | :18:12. | :18:14. | |
Vin Lananna is on record saying that Nike played no role | :18:15. | :18:16. | |
in the bid process nor, he said, did Lord Coe other than to vote. | :18:17. | :18:23. | |
But we've obtained an internal Nike email which could call that claim | :18:24. | :18:26. | |
It's an email from a senior Nike executive to Lananna | :18:27. | :18:30. | |
He made clear his support for 2021 in Eugene, but made equally clear | :18:31. | :18:48. | |
he'd reached out to Diack specifically on this topic and got | :18:49. | :18:50. | |
a clear statement from Diack that, 'I'm not going to take any action at | :18:51. | :18:54. | |
the April meeting to choose a 2021 site'." But the opposite happened | :18:55. | :18:58. | |
at that meeting and Diack announced a surprise vote to give the | :18:59. | :19:01. | |
The vote went through, 23-2, and came as a shock to | :19:02. | :19:08. | |
the former head of Swedish athletics who had been preparing a rival bid | :19:09. | :19:12. | |
Bjorn Eriksson is also the former head of Interpol. | :19:13. | :19:18. | |
I would very much like to hear the explanation to this. | :19:19. | :19:29. | |
Lord Coe denied he'd lobbied for Eugene and said 2021 represented | :19:30. | :19:37. | |
a unique political and financial opportunity to bring | :19:38. | :19:40. | |
"Seb believed the usual process would be followed | :19:41. | :19:45. | |
and encouraged Eugene to enter the bidding cycle for 2021, which | :19:46. | :19:48. | |
He sought clarity from President Diack when asked by Eugene | :19:49. | :19:54. | |
and Gothenburg about the 2021 bidding process and received | :19:55. | :19:57. | |
assurances that no decision would be made at the April council meeting." | :19:58. | :20:02. | |
"All of Lord Coe's interests were declared to the | :20:03. | :20:07. | |
But Lord Coe may still face questions over why, whilst | :20:08. | :20:14. | |
a vice-president of IAAF, he was discussing its business with Nike. | :20:15. | :20:17. | |
With me now is Dan, Rowan. Where does it leave Lord Coe and its | :20:18. | :20:34. | |
sports? It's the last time athletics need when it's trying to gain | :20:35. | :20:39. | |
confidence and trust back from the public after a damning doping report | :20:40. | :20:44. | |
which received state-sponsored doping in Russia. They were band | :20:45. | :20:49. | |
from international competition and allegations of corruption and | :20:50. | :20:54. | |
cover-ups. The governing body of the sport itself, IAAF. It's Lord Coe's | :20:55. | :20:59. | |
job to clean up track and field. Many have questioned whether it's | :21:00. | :21:11. | |
right one that Nike pay him a six figure sum to be an ambassador. MPs | :21:12. | :21:17. | |
will ask him, why it was, despite his insis tans he is guilty of no | :21:18. | :21:22. | |
wrong-doing, no conflict of interest, he was in discussion with | :21:23. | :21:28. | |
a senior Nike executivive over the 2021 bid and whether the time has | :21:29. | :21:32. | |
come to end that association with Nike. | :21:33. | :22:04. | |
In the past hour, prosecutors in Belgium have confirmed that police | :22:05. | :22:07. | |
are looking for a second man they believe is on the run after taking | :22:08. | :22:10. | |
part in the attacks in Paris in which 129 people died. | :22:11. | :22:21. | |
The suspect being sought -- named as Mohamed Abrini -- is being described | :22:22. | :22:24. | |
by officers as 'dangerous and probably armed'. He was filmed | :22:25. | :22:26. | |

A jury's been hearing how one of the Hatton Garden diamond thieves | :23:09. | :23:12. | |
lied to police about how much jewellery he had | :23:13. | :23:14. | |
The prosecution also said that two of the gang had pulled out of the | :23:15. | :23:18. | |
raid after the first unsuccessful attempt to get into the vault. | :23:19. | :23:21. | |
The gang returned two days later and stole around ?14 million worth | :23:22. | :23:24. | |
of gold, diamonds and jewellery, as Daniel Sandford explains. | :23:25. | :23:26. | |
The gang drilled through the vault wall but were blocked by the | :23:27. | :23:30. | |
cabinets. Two nights later they were back. By now 76-year-old Brian | :23:31. | :23:32. | |
Reader had pulled out. 9 pros education say at the last moment | :23:33. | :23:34. | |
Karl Wood, on trial today, also walked away from England's biggest | :23:35. | :23:36. | |
burglary. Terry Perkins was caught on a police bug discussing that | :23:37. | :23:39. | |
moment. He thought he would never get in. I said, give it another | :23:40. | :23:41. | |
half-hour. We've done everything we can do. If we can't get in. We won't | :23:42. | :23:45. | |
be able to get in, will we? They did get in. Making off with ?14 million | :23:46. | :23:50. | |
worth of jewellery on Easter Sunday morning. Six weeks later, they were | :23:51. | :23:58. | |
caught. The gang's ringleaders including Danielle Jones pleaded | :23:59. | :24:02. | |
guilty to the burglary in September. Last month Danielle Jones brought | :24:03. | :24:07. | |
police here to this North London emindustry to show him where he | :24:08. | :24:11. | |
buried some of the jewellery under this memorial stone to a relative of | :24:12. | :24:16. | |
his wife. Detectives asked him if he had any more of the stolen property. | :24:17. | :24:21. | |
He said he hadn't. A week earlier police had discovered a a second | :24:22. | :24:27. | |
stash of jewellery 20 meters away under a memorial to another member | :24:28. | :24:34. | |
of the family. To this date only a third of the loot stolen at Hatton | :24:35. | :24:36. | |
Garden has been discovered. Andy Murray says he has no doubts | :24:37. | :24:42. | |
about safety in Belgium as he prepares there for Britain's | :24:43. | :24:45. | |
biggest tennis match in decades. The Davis Cup final will go ahead | :24:46. | :24:47. | |
as scheduled in Ghent, with Belgium the opponents, despite the ongoing | :24:48. | :24:50. | |
security issues in Brussels. It's a competition Great Britain | :24:51. | :24:55. | |
have not won since the 1930s. Andy Murray's not hiding, he's just | :24:56. | :24:57. | |
a bit cold, even indoors in Belgium He's in Ghent, only 30 miles | :24:58. | :25:08. | |
from Brussels, but at ease. Here there is no need | :25:09. | :25:12. | |
to lock all the doors. Security is discreet | :25:13. | :25:15. | |
for what tennis calls its World Cup Naturally, it's vital for Britain | :25:16. | :25:18. | |
that Andy Murray is happy. Obviously, | :25:19. | :25:23. | |
had to delay the trip by a day. You know, which wasn't ideal, | :25:24. | :25:26. | |
but I think, you know, I know in Brussels it's | :25:27. | :25:29. | |
a slightly different situation. spectators won't be able to bring | :25:30. | :25:38. | |
anything inside the venue, which is really just a huge warehouse that's | :25:39. | :25:47. | |
been adapted for tennis. Even | :25:48. | :25:52. | |
the clay court you can see behind But you know this place could become | :25:53. | :25:54. | |
as famous as any 1978 was the last time Great Britain | :25:55. | :25:58. | |
reached the final of the Davis Cup. Decisive match won | :25:59. | :26:04. | |
by a youngster called McEnroe. Well, Belgium have no-one | :26:05. | :26:09. | |
in that league, but their tennis team is a positive focus in | :26:10. | :26:13. | |
challenging times in the country. We've no doubts that | :26:14. | :26:18. | |
we will be safe here. We cannot do anything | :26:19. | :26:22. | |
about security. We have to see that we | :26:23. | :26:38. | |
can get ready as a team. Andy Murray can play two singles | :26:39. | :26:41. | |
matches and one doubles Sometimes the gift of sport | :26:42. | :26:44. | |

Snow showers to the north. In the small hours of Saturday morning, | :28:33. | :28:35. | |
