Good evening and welcome to the BBC News at Six. | :01:13. | :01:38. | |
Whether it's in France or Greece, Europe's migrant crisis appears | :01:39. | :01:40. | |
to be entering a new - and more violent - phase. | :01:41. | :01:43. | |
Police have fired tear gas at hundreds of migrants and refugees | :01:44. | :01:46. | |
trying to crash through the Greek border into Macedonia. | :01:47. | :01:51. | |
Around 7,000 people are stuck in the Greek town of Idomeni, | :01:52. | :01:53. | |
small numbers of people into its territory. | :01:54. | :02:02. | |
This is how it looks on Greece's border with Macedonia. | :02:03. | :02:11. | |
After a night out in the open, children join a long line | :02:12. | :02:14. | |
with their parents, waiting for food. | :02:15. | :02:23. | |
At the end of the line, they get a bag of bread | :02:24. | :02:26. | |
Babyies bottles are held up, hoping to be filled. | :02:27. | :02:35. | |
to cross the border every day, so the numbers keep | :02:36. | :02:42. | |
You have to wait for a long time for food, toilets, | :02:43. | :02:46. | |
Hundreds of them have decided to force open the gate. | :02:47. | :02:52. | |
This is the result of the tension that has been | :02:53. | :02:55. | |
As they push at the border, the crush begins | :02:56. | :03:03. | |
This is how it looked on the Macedonian side | :03:04. | :03:08. | |
Suddenly, the border is breached, triggering panic among the police. | :03:09. | :03:16. | |
A guard fires tear gas directly at the migrants. | :03:17. | :03:21. | |
On the other side of the fence, the man in the blue jacket is hit | :03:22. | :03:25. | |
Cue panic, as tear gas explodes all around them. | :03:26. | :03:39. | |
Men, women and children run for safety. | :03:40. | :03:49. | |
A boy staggers from the crush, reching from the gas. | :03:50. | :03:54. | |
Others are too gazed to stand, their eyes and lungs burning. | :03:55. | :03:58. | |
Today, on a European border, children were tear-gassed. | :03:59. | :04:04. | |
It is quite a while since the tear gas was fired, but you can | :04:05. | :04:09. | |
still smell it and taste it in the air as well. | :04:10. | :04:12. | |
As this stand-off continues, with several hundred | :04:13. | :04:15. | |
people still here at the border gate, | :04:16. | :04:21. | |
the violence will continue as well as the numbers here keep | :04:22. | :04:24. | |
growing and people keep getting frustrated. | :04:25. | :04:25. | |
Those who have worked here for months say it has never | :04:26. | :04:28. | |
They are worried the border will not open at all. | :04:29. | :04:33. | |
They saw how quickly restrictions were implemented for the Afghanis. | :04:34. | :04:35. | |
There is a sense among the Syrians and Iraqis that at any time, it | :04:36. | :04:39. | |
could give them. Late in the afternoon, families set up camp. | :04:40. | :04:43. | |
There is growing desperation on this European frontier. | :04:44. | :04:46. | |
And it's not just in Greece that the pressures of the migrant | :04:47. | :04:48. | |
Clashes have broken out in the French port of Calais, | :04:49. | :04:52. | |
where demolition teams are trying to clear parts of the migrant camp | :04:53. | :04:55. | |
The authorities are trying to move people to converted | :04:56. | :05:00. | |
They came in at breakfast time, a soft invasion of the state into the | :05:01. | :05:16. | |
lives of the stateless. One by one, migrants still clinging to the | :05:17. | :05:19. | |
Southern part of the camp were told they had one hour to pack their | :05:20. | :05:24. | |
things and leave. Some heeded the warning, heading North into the | :05:25. | :05:33. | |
jungle's new safe zone. Right now, we are houseless. They are on fire. | :05:34. | :05:41. | |
They set fire to our house. A fire at one of the empty shelters | :05:42. | :05:44. | |
separate police against those who had chosen not to leave. Among them, | :05:45. | :05:50. | |
activists who have been urging residents here to resist. What was | :05:51. | :05:54. | |
meant to be a gentle eviction through encouragement and | :05:55. | :05:58. | |
information became a blunt exchange of tear gas and rocks held at | :05:59. | :06:05. | |
police. Just a view ours in and already, the plan for eviction by | :06:06. | :06:10. | |
consent has run into trouble. The question here is who the police of | :06:11. | :06:14. | |
fighting, the migrants themselves or the activists who said they are | :06:15. | :06:19. | |
defending them? By dusk, the battle was under way again, a second fire | :06:20. | :06:24. | |
and the place -- at the place somebody yesterday called home. The | :06:25. | :06:27. | |
water cannon brought in this time not for the fire but for the | :06:28. | :06:31. | |
arsonists and anyone else still standing nearby. The borders | :06:32. | :06:38. | |
activists set fire to the Thames, throw stones at police, that is not | :06:39. | :06:42. | |
acceptable and it is normal that we have to react to restore order. 18 | :06:43. | :06:48. | |
months ago, migrants were moved here from the old makeshift camps around | :06:49. | :06:52. | |
Calais. Now the ring around this one is being pulled tighter as pressure | :06:53. | :06:57. | |
on the government grows. But many people here have spent years moving | :06:58. | :07:01. | |
from place to place, in a bid to reach England, and that will not | :07:02. | :07:05. | |
change, they say, just because one more time we have to go. | :07:06. | :07:12. | |
Danny is on the Greek Macedonia border, these flash points you have | :07:13. | :07:19. | |
been reporting, walk pressure on Europe's politicians. Yes, up until | :07:20. | :07:26. | |
Christmas before Christmas, it seemed there was a United plan to | :07:27. | :07:29. | |
deal with this migrant crisis. But now it seems it is every country for | :07:30. | :07:34. | |
itself and the lack of unity is what we have seen today from here in | :07:35. | :07:41. | |
Greece through the Balkans and up to the English Channel. And with the | :07:42. | :07:44. | |
weather getting better, spring is arriving, that means more people | :07:45. | :07:49. | |
will be making this journey will stop German Chancellor Angela Merkel | :07:50. | :07:52. | |
has said in the last 24 hours that Greece here must receive help. It | :07:53. | :07:58. | |
needs help and it must get it. They have not spent that time and money | :07:59. | :08:02. | |
keeping Greece in the EU for it to go wrong now. The politicians needed | :08:03. | :08:07. | |
to have discussions to sort something out. For the people here, | :08:08. | :08:13. | |
it will not arrive soon enough. The latest on the tear gas incident, I | :08:14. | :08:17. | |
have spoken to doctors, nine children were treated for the | :08:18. | :08:20. | |
effects of tear gas here, four under the age of five. | :08:21. | :08:22. | |
Thank you very much. Nicola Sturgeon, Scotland's First | :08:23. | :08:24. | |
Minister, has called for a positive campaign to persuade | :08:25. | :08:26. | |
voters to stay in the EU. At a speech in London, | :08:27. | :08:29. | |
she warned David Cameron not Downing Street rejected | :08:30. | :08:32. | |
her suggestions, saying the Prime Minister was committed | :08:33. | :08:35. | |
to setting out a "factual" case. Our Scotland Editor, | :08:36. | :08:39. | |
Sarah Smith, was there. Nicola Sturgeon has moved | :08:40. | :08:46. | |
off her home turf today to tell a wider audience why they should | :08:47. | :08:48. | |
vote to stay in the European Union. I believe passionately that the EU | :08:49. | :08:52. | |
is a force for good in our world. Making a speech here in London, | :08:53. | :08:58. | |
Nicola Sturgeon is declaring she intends to campaign | :08:59. | :09:01. | |
across the whole of the UK for a vote to remain | :09:02. | :09:04. | |
and she is here to tell other Warning David Cameron he could lose | :09:05. | :09:07. | |
the referendum if he doesn't make The risk to the In campaign is, | :09:08. | :09:13. | |
if it is a negative, miserable, scaremongering campaign, | :09:14. | :09:23. | |
then they will turn people off. That is the last thing | :09:24. | :09:25. | |
that is needed, given how narrowly balanced the opinion polls look | :09:26. | :09:28. | |
to be across the UK. Is that what you have heard so far, | :09:29. | :09:31. | |
a negative, scaremongering campaign, Many of the arguments we are hearing | :09:32. | :09:33. | |
so far are reminiscent of the arguments put forward | :09:34. | :09:37. | |
by the No campaign in What happened in the Scottish | :09:38. | :09:40. | |
referendum was that kind of negative campaign saw the No campaign | :09:41. | :09:45. | |
squander a 20-point lead over David Cameron could say his | :09:46. | :09:47. | |
tactics won the referendum His campaign does not | :09:48. | :09:56. | |
have a 20-point lead to squander. For once, the Prime Minister | :09:57. | :10:01. | |
and Nicola Sturgeon He clearly hasn't had the memo | :10:02. | :10:03. | |
about positive campaigning, warning today of up to a decade | :10:04. | :10:09. | |
of uncertainty if the UK What happens for the seven, eight, | :10:10. | :10:12. | |
nine years while we wait to put What happens to people's | :10:13. | :10:18. | |
livelihoods? What happens to businesses thinking | :10:19. | :10:25. | |
about whether to invest here in Britain or go | :10:26. | :10:27. | |
somewhere else? Boris Johnson was touring a bus | :10:28. | :10:36. | |
factory in Northern Ireland today. He claims the Remain campaign | :10:37. | :10:40. | |
is trying to frighten voters with scare stories, | :10:41. | :10:46. | |
Project Fear, in other words. It is time to show the positive side | :10:47. | :10:55. | |
of what Britain can do. We lead the world in all sorts | :10:56. | :10:59. | |
of sectors that nobody dreamt Now is the opportunity to get rid | :11:00. | :11:02. | |
of so much of the bureaucracy and overregulation that's | :11:03. | :11:07. | |
coming from Brussels. Nicola Sturgeon says she doesn't | :11:08. | :11:08. | |
want to scare people It will be more effective to inspire | :11:09. | :11:10. | |
them to do so. She is hoping to encourage | :11:11. | :11:14. | |
David Cameron to try to do the same. Changes in the way we shop | :11:15. | :11:23. | |
and new employment laws could lead to almost a million fewer people | :11:24. | :11:26. | |
working in the retail sector over That's the stark warning | :11:27. | :11:29. | |
from the British Retail Consortium, which says hundreds of businesses | :11:30. | :11:35. | |
could disappear from our High Our Economics Editor, | :11:36. | :11:37. | |
Kamal Ahmed, has more. Britain has been accused of being a | :11:38. | :11:48. | |
nation of shopkeepers, as well as a nation of shoppers. 3 million people | :11:49. | :11:52. | |
have jobs in the retail sector, the largest private employer in the | :11:53. | :11:56. | |
country. One out of every ten of those works in retail, it is a | :11:57. | :12:00. | |
sector vital to the economy, it is a sector under pressure. This shop in | :12:01. | :12:06. | |
commentary is at the shop and, a place of peeling the retail squeeze. | :12:07. | :12:12. | |
-- Coventry. Online is getting bigger, discounters, consumers want | :12:13. | :12:16. | |
more for the pound. So where can we make those cuts? The only way is by | :12:17. | :12:21. | |
reducing staff hours. What change is coming. Today, online giant Amazon | :12:22. | :12:27. | |
sealed the deal with Morrisons to deliver their food. Competition is | :12:28. | :12:30. | |
getting tougher. The number of jobs in the retail sector could fall by | :12:31. | :12:36. | |
eight third, 900,000 jobs, in less than a decade. Of the 270,000 shots | :12:37. | :12:41. | |
in the UK today, the report claims up to 74,000 could close. The | :12:42. | :12:46. | |
British Retail Consortium estimates the cost of the new National living | :12:47. | :12:51. | |
ways to the industry of up to ?3 billion a year. I met one of | :12:52. | :12:55. | |
Britain's leading retailers and asked him if people understood the | :12:56. | :13:01. | |
possible shocks ahead. Currently, there is a sort of complacency | :13:02. | :13:05. | |
around were somehow people are not realising just how significantly | :13:06. | :13:09. | |
workplace is changing and is set to change. And I think that is | :13:10. | :13:15. | |
dangerous, in fact. Oxford Street, one of the busiest shopping streets | :13:16. | :13:19. | |
in the world, not too much evidence here of the crisis facing the retail | :13:20. | :13:25. | |
sector. But in other parts of Britain, Mass affluent parts of | :13:26. | :13:30. | |
Britain, there is an issue. Rising costs, falling prices and reduced | :13:31. | :13:35. | |
profits are a toxic mix. What is striking about this report is how | :13:36. | :13:39. | |
the industry is responding, by increasing the number of people on | :13:40. | :13:43. | |
very low pay. I do believe retail has a problem with low pay, it has | :13:44. | :13:49. | |
been evidence paced that it is part of the low-paying sectors and that | :13:50. | :13:53. | |
is the very reason we have been campaigning for quality jobs at | :13:54. | :13:58. | |
appropriate world -- rate of pay. The changing world of retail could | :13:59. | :14:01. | |
mean changing prices for customers. It could mean higher pay for those | :14:02. | :14:05. | |
left in the industry and higher productivity. But for hundreds of | :14:06. | :14:09. | |
thousands of shop workers who could lose their jobs, this is a time for | :14:10. | :14:11. | |
concern. Violent clashes between border | :14:12. | :14:13. | |
police and refugees, as Europe's migrant | :14:14. | :14:17. | |
crisis turns nasty. And still to come: It's not | :14:18. | :14:22. | |
real, but it could be. How rescue teams prepare | :14:23. | :14:25. | |
for a major disaster. And in the sport, a blow for Premier | :14:26. | :14:38. | |
league title seekers Leicester City, as their key midfielder is ruled out | :14:39. | :14:42. | |
of the next two games with a hamstring injury. | :14:43. | :14:53. | |
A shortage of doctors and nurses in the UK means that more than two | :14:54. | :14:57. | |
thirds of trusts and health boards are actively trying to recruit | :14:58. | :14:59. | |
Figures obtained by the BBC show that there are more than 23,000 | :15:00. | :15:03. | |
nursing vacancies in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, | :15:04. | :15:05. | |
There are also 6,000 doctor vacancies, 7% of the workforce. | :15:06. | :15:17. | |
Our health correspondent, Dominic Hughes, has joined | :15:18. | :15:19. | |
one recruitment team in the Philippines capital, Manila. | :15:20. | :15:26. | |
A city more than six and a half thousand miles from the UK. | :15:27. | :15:33. | |
And yet almost every week, NHS trusts fly halfway around | :15:34. | :15:36. | |
the world to get here. | :15:37. | :15:37. | |
Their mission, to find some desperately needed nurses. | :15:38. | :15:39. | |
One trust from rural Lincolnshire allowed us to follow the recruitment | :15:40. | :15:42. | |
process, with Pauline leading the team. | :15:43. | :15:51. | |
Today, we are looking for something like 46. | :15:52. | :15:53. | |
You have to get a good feel for, have they got the right skills | :15:54. | :15:56. | |
And give them a chance to get comfortable | :15:57. | :16:00. | |
Around 200 candidates are put through a gruelling series of tests | :16:01. | :16:05. | |
Well, the United Lincolnshire Trust is 200 nurses short | :16:06. | :16:15. | |
and that contributes to a staggering bill | :16:16. | :16:17. | |
of two and a half million pounds spent each month on agency staff. | :16:18. | :16:30. | |
The charity ward of Manila's biggest hospital. | :16:31. | :16:32. | |
One of the senior nurses here says this is a typically intense training | :16:33. | :16:35. | |
ground for those trying to land jobs in the UK. | :16:36. | :16:42. | |
Handling 25 patients per shift basically hones more of the skills. | :16:43. | :16:45. | |
Unlike the NHS, the Philippines has a glut of qualified nurses - | :16:46. | :16:48. | |
each year, as many as 100,000 are trained. | :16:49. | :16:53. | |
But the country can offer less than 40,000 nursing jobs. | :16:54. | :16:56. | |
The reason so many Filipino nurses are willing to swap the vibrant | :16:57. | :17:00. | |
and chaotic streets of Manila for Lincolnshire is poverty. | :17:01. | :17:06. | |
A nurse here may expect to earn around ?135 a month. | :17:07. | :17:11. | |
By getting a job in the UK with the NHS, they can | :17:12. | :17:14. | |
increase their salary by ten times at a stroke. | :17:15. | :17:18. | |
One nurse heading to Lincolnshire is 26-year-old Rose. | :17:19. | :17:20. | |
The job she has been offered will change her life and that | :17:21. | :17:23. | |
For Rose, Lincolnshire is a long way from home. | :17:24. | :17:27. | |
I will be leaving my family here and living there | :17:28. | :17:37. | |
Because I really want to help them, I really want to earn money just | :17:38. | :17:42. | |
to help them and give them better life. | :17:43. | :17:44. | |
Did you know anything about Lincolnshire before | :17:45. | :17:46. | |
No, actually, I don't have any idea where it is! | :17:47. | :17:49. | |
We are absolutely delighted to offer 131 of you a job | :17:50. | :17:52. | |
Rose and more than 100 others offered jobs still have to pass | :17:53. | :17:56. | |
tough language and professional exams, and get a visa before | :17:57. | :17:58. | |
they can take up their jobs in the UK. | :17:59. | :18:01. | |
But the recruitment process is also about saving money. | :18:02. | :18:06. | |
Once they work in practice for three months unsupervised, | :18:07. | :18:08. | |
becoming independent practitioners, they will have paid for themselves. | :18:09. | :18:13. | |
While the NHS struggles to train and recruit staff at home, | :18:14. | :18:17. | |
for these Filipino nurses, a new life in Lincolnshire awaits. | :18:18. | :18:20. | |
Dominic Hughes, BBC News, Manila. | :18:21. | :18:27. | |
Fourteen men have been convicted of plotting to steal rhino horn | :18:28. | :18:30. | |
and Chinese artefacts, worth up to ?57 million, | :18:31. | :18:35. | |
in a series of raids on museums and auction houses. | :18:36. | :18:43. | |
CT TV showed a gang at work in Durham. -- CCTV. | :18:44. | :18:48. | |
The biggest raid was on the Fitzwilliam Museum | :18:49. | :18:50. | |
Sian Llloyd is outside Birmingham Crown Court. | :18:51. | :18:56. | |
What more can you tell us? Well, this was an elaborate and audacious | :18:57. | :19:05. | |
plot to steal a Chinese artefacts from museums across the country. The | :19:06. | :19:09. | |
men who have been on trial at Birmingham Crown Court had been | :19:10. | :19:12. | |
described as the gang leaders, but there were a number of criminal | :19:13. | :19:15. | |
groups involved using a smash and grab techniques to target these | :19:16. | :19:23. | |
priceless Chinese items. In April 2012, they targeted the Oriental | :19:24. | :19:27. | |
Museum in Durham, making off with a Jade figurine. They were found | :19:28. | :19:33. | |
discarded on wasteland nearby. Then they targeted the Fitzwilliam Museum | :19:34. | :19:37. | |
in Cambridge, making off with 18 Jade items that have never been | :19:38. | :19:41. | |
found. They were stopped by the public leaving a museum in Norwich | :19:42. | :19:47. | |
carrying a rhinoceros head. 25 people were arrested at addresses in | :19:48. | :19:51. | |
England and Northern Ireland and the night, a serious officer -- senior | :19:52. | :19:55. | |
officer said the value of the raids blew the Hatton Garden break-in out | :19:56. | :19:59. | |
of the water. The men will be sentenced in April. Thank you very | :20:00. | :20:01. | |
much. It involves hundreds | :20:02. | :20:04. | |
of emergency services staff, huge teams of forensic specialists, | :20:05. | :20:06. | |
and countless civilian casualties. Thankfully, it's only | :20:07. | :20:08. | |
a training exercise, And it's happening, amongst other | :20:09. | :20:10. | |
places, at a disused Deep below ground, firefighters | :20:11. | :20:14. | |
and paramedics struggle in darkness and confusion with badly injured | :20:15. | :20:25. | |
survivors of a major disaster. Eight Tube carriages have been piled | :20:26. | :20:30. | |
up amid tonnes of rubble to simulate a building collapse on a major | :20:31. | :20:43. | |
underground station. Hundreds of volunteers have been | :20:44. | :20:45. | |
recruited to play casualties. The carriage is tilting at a crazy | :20:46. | :20:47. | |
angle, there is a huge block of concrete here which has come | :20:48. | :20:50. | |
crashing through the window, it is full of badly injured people, | :20:51. | :20:53. | |
disorientated, in pain. Now the first police officers | :20:54. | :20:57. | |
and fire crews are appearing on the platform and people | :20:58. | :20:59. | |
in here are banging Mercifully, disasters | :21:00. | :21:01. | |
like this are rare. The exercise director | :21:02. | :21:15. | |
was an incident commander at King's Cross on the day | :21:16. | :21:17. | |
of the 7/7 bombings in 2005. That was a very significant day | :21:18. | :21:22. | |
in London, a tragic day. You can hear behind | :21:23. | :21:25. | |
me the confusion. The purpose for the emergency | :21:26. | :21:28. | |
services is to get beyond that, to understand the situation, | :21:29. | :21:30. | |
to rescue people, prioritise those who are most seriously injured | :21:31. | :21:32. | |
and clear the scene. Today is a chance to practise | :21:33. | :21:44. | |
routines emergency services across Britain hope they will never | :21:45. | :21:46. | |
have to use for real. Nick Higham, BBC News, | :21:47. | :21:49. | |
Dartford in Kent. A group of MPs have said the Welsh | :21:50. | :22:06. | |
draft legislation is confusing and would leave Welsh ministers with | :22:07. | :22:12. | |
less powers. Our reporter is that the National Assembly in Cardiff. | :22:13. | :22:17. | |
What is the reaction to this? Well, a lot of people have been looking at | :22:18. | :22:21. | |
this issue and concern is that about the deal on the table and the | :22:22. | :22:27. | |
problems. This is a row over who controls what and the legal lines | :22:28. | :22:30. | |
between Westminster and Wales. The deal goes on the table, the draft | :22:31. | :22:35. | |
version was roundly criticised because it could potentially take | :22:36. | :22:39. | |
away more powers than it gives to the National Assembly and | :22:40. | :22:41. | |
potentially undermine landmark decisions like the changes here | :22:42. | :22:46. | |
overall beam donation. Potentially offering an English veto on that | :22:47. | :22:52. | |
type of decision. Given the concern from Assembly members including | :22:53. | :22:56. | |
Conservatives and the MPs, it is probably inevitable today's decision | :22:57. | :23:01. | |
to stop and listen again would come from the UK government. Potentially | :23:02. | :23:04. | |
embarrassing for them. They said they have listened and they have | :23:05. | :23:09. | |
learnt. But what happens at the end? Eventually, when we get a new Wales | :23:10. | :23:13. | |
Bill, it rings more powers on important decisions affecting the | :23:14. | :23:18. | |
lives of people. Like speed limits, the voting gauge, income tax-raising | :23:19. | :23:21. | |
powers for the Welsh government. But that can only follow legal lines | :23:22. | :23:27. | |
which are nice and clear. We do not expect a new version of the bill | :23:28. | :23:32. | |
until after the May elections here in Wales. Thank you. | :23:33. | :23:38. | |
This year's Oscars ceremony was as glittering as ever, | :23:39. | :23:40. | |
but unlike any in living memory, it was dominated by protests over | :23:41. | :23:43. | |
the lack of black and ethnic nominees. | :23:44. | :23:44. | |
Last night, the comedian Chris Rock - who was hosting the event - | :23:45. | :23:48. | |
As for the awards, Leonardo DiCaprio was finally named Best Actor. | :23:49. | :23:51. | |
Lizo Mzimba is in LA for us this evening. | :23:52. | :23:55. | |
Yes, most of the attention is usually focused on the winner of the | :23:56. | :24:09. | |
biggest prize, best picture, which went to the Spotlight. But people | :24:10. | :24:13. | |
are talking about throughout the evening, the Spotlight was on more | :24:14. | :24:17. | |
than just the movies. Some of entertainment's biggest names used | :24:18. | :24:21. | |
the night to highlight a range of heavyweight subjects. | :24:22. | :24:22. | |
Serious issues being talked about as much | :24:23. | :24:26. | |
Well, I'm here at the Academy Awards. | :24:27. | :24:28. | |
Otherwise known as the White People's Choice Awards! | :24:29. | :24:33. | |
You realise if they nominated hosts, I wouldn't even get this job! | :24:34. | :24:40. | |
A barbed attack from host Chris Rock was inevitable, | :24:41. | :24:42. | |
as was the winner of Best Actor, Leonardo DiCaprio. | :24:43. | :24:46. | |
I thank you all for this amazing award tonight. | :24:47. | :24:57. | |
Let us not take this planet for granted. | :24:58. | :24:59. | |
The film's director, Alejandro Inarritu, also won | :25:00. | :25:04. | |
and continued the theme of substantial subjects | :25:05. | :25:05. | |
Make sure, for once and forever, that the colour of our skin becomes | :25:06. | :25:10. | |
as irrelevant as the length of our hair. | :25:11. | :25:14. | |
To the surprise of a few, Best Film was won by... | :25:15. | :25:17. | |
The Academy honouring the story of the Boston Globe's uncovering | :25:18. | :25:21. | |
Brie Larson was named Best Actress for her performance | :25:22. | :25:26. | |
in the heavyweight abduction drama Room. | :25:27. | :25:29. | |
Thank you to the fans, thank you to the moviegoers, | :25:30. | :25:32. | |
thank you for going to the theatre and seeing our film. | :25:33. | :25:35. | |
British successes included Mark Rylance. | :25:36. | :25:41. | |
The actor, who made his name on the stage, has now added | :25:42. | :25:44. | |
a Best Supporting Actor Oscar for Bridge of Spies to his Olivier | :25:45. | :25:47. | |
As an actor, to win an Academy Award is something very unusual, | :25:48. | :25:59. | |
And multiple Brit and Grammy award winner Sam Smith now has | :26:00. | :26:06. | |
a Best Song Oscar too for his Bond theme, Writing's on the Wall. | :26:07. | :26:12. | |
I stand here tonight as a proud gay man and I hope we can all stand | :26:13. | :26:15. | |
While Lady Gaga spoke out musically against sexual abuse, | :26:16. | :26:27. | |
at an Oscars where so many took the opportunity to make a statement | :26:28. | :26:30. | |
to a global audience in the tens of millions. | :26:31. | :26:39. | |
Plenty of sparkle today in the weather story. A hard frost. | :26:40. | :26:56. | |
Temperatures down to minus five. Beautiful blue sky and sunshine. | :26:57. | :27:01. | |
What a difference a Day makes. Tomorrow, more cloud, milder and | :27:02. | :27:07. | |
some places 8-10d more than today. A weather front is moving in from the | :27:08. | :27:11. | |
Atlantic and we could have is ahead of it and wintry showers to higher | :27:12. | :27:17. | |
ground, turning the rain. Some of it quite heavy and the wind strength | :27:18. | :27:20. | |
and across West facing the coasts. Changing tomorrow, wet and windy | :27:21. | :27:25. | |
across the south-west, some rain quite heavy. Light and Patrick | :27:26. | :27:29. | |
through central and eastern areas. What a difference to this morning. | :27:30. | :27:34. | |
-- patchy. Cloud and outbreaks of rain. Heavy rain through Wales and | :27:35. | :27:40. | |
North West England. Northern Ireland, overcast with showers and | :27:41. | :27:44. | |
that theme continues into the afternoon. Frequent showers into the | :27:45. | :27:48. | |
North West. Rain heading South and East through the afternoon so a | :27:49. | :27:52. | |
gradual improvement for England and Wales. Cloudy skies at milder into | :27:53. | :27:57. | |
the afternoon, something we have not seen of late. Temperatures, highs of | :27:58. | :28:03. | |
10-12d. In the far North, cooler, with showers. The winds gather and | :28:04. | :28:08. | |
strengthen overnight, showers turning increasingly wintry | :28:09. | :28:10. | |
overnight in the Wednesday morning. We begin Wednesday on a cold note | :28:11. | :28:16. | |
again, with frost and snow showers into the far North. Temperatures | :28:17. | :28:21. | |
just below freezing. More organise showers moving out of Northern | :28:22. | :28:25. | |
Ireland, Northern England, to the South and East. Staying cold with a | :28:26. | :28:28. | |
northerly winds and temperatures by-8 degrees. That chilly wind and | :28:29. | :28:35. | |
issued throughout the week. Showers turning increasingly wintry and by | :28:36. | :28:38. | |
the end of the week, more organised rain arrives. | :28:39. | :28:44. | |
That's all from the BBC News at Six, so it's goodbye from me. | :28:45. | :28:47. | |
