0:00:06 > 0:00:07Tonight at 6:
0:00:07 > 0:00:10Warnings of new unrest in the middle east after President Trump pledges
0:00:10 > 0:00:13a radical change in US policy.
0:00:13 > 0:00:17He says he'll recognise Jerusalem as Israel's capital -
0:00:17 > 0:00:19that's caused anger among Palestinians and alarmed US allies,
0:00:19 > 0:00:22but Mr Trump says it's time.
0:00:22 > 0:00:26I think it's long overdue.
0:00:26 > 0:00:29Many presidents have said they want to do something
0:00:29 > 0:00:32and they didn't do it.
0:00:32 > 0:00:36We view the reports that we have heard with concern, because we think
0:00:36 > 0:00:39that Jerusalem obviously should be part of the final settlement.
0:00:39 > 0:00:41Some European governments are already warning their citizens
0:00:41 > 0:00:43in the region to watch out for trouble.
0:00:43 > 0:00:46Also tonight:
0:00:46 > 0:00:48We're heading for Brexit but has the government worked out
0:00:48 > 0:00:52what impact it will have on the economy?
0:00:52 > 0:00:54Automotive sector?
0:00:54 > 0:00:55Not that I'm aware of, no.
0:00:55 > 0:00:56Is there on an aerospace?
0:00:56 > 0:00:57Not that I'm aware of.
0:00:57 > 0:00:58No.
0:00:58 > 0:00:59One on financial services?
0:00:59 > 0:01:02Well, I think the answer's going to be no to
0:01:02 > 0:01:03all of them.
0:01:03 > 0:01:04No to all of them.
0:01:04 > 0:01:08High security for a terror plot trial - a man is accused of trying
0:01:08 > 0:01:10to bomb Downing Street and kill Theresa May.
0:01:10 > 0:01:13A terror plot targeting Prince George's school -
0:01:13 > 0:01:15a Lancashire man is accused of sharing its address
0:01:15 > 0:01:18with Islamist extremists.
0:01:18 > 0:01:21Put your hand up if you're an Snapchat.
0:01:21 > 0:01:24When you get your news from social media how do you know what's
0:01:24 > 0:01:28true and what's fake.
0:01:28 > 0:01:30The skeleton that tells the story of human evolution -
0:01:30 > 0:01:32South Africa unveils the three and a half million year
0:01:32 > 0:01:38remains of Littlefoot.
0:01:38 > 0:01:40Coming up in Sportsday later in the hour on BBC News:
0:01:40 > 0:01:42Another collapse and defeat for England's cricketers,
0:01:42 > 0:01:48as they go 2-0 down in the Ashes Series.
0:02:09 > 0:02:14Good evening and welcome to the BBC News at Six.
0:02:14 > 0:02:17Any minute now, President Trump will deliver a speech that is likely
0:02:17 > 0:02:19to have huge repercussions for the world's most troubled
0:02:19 > 0:02:22region - the Middle East.
0:02:22 > 0:02:25Donald Trump is expected to say that America will now recognise Jerusalem
0:02:25 > 0:02:26as the capital of Israel.
0:02:26 > 0:02:29That's controversial because Jerusalem is
0:02:29 > 0:02:30contested territory - with Palestinians wanting part
0:02:30 > 0:02:35of the city to be their capital too.
0:02:35 > 0:02:37Even America's allies - including Britain -
0:02:37 > 0:02:40are lining up to criticise Mr Trump's proposal.
0:02:40 > 0:02:42Here's our Middle East Editor, Jeremy Bowen, on why the speech
0:02:42 > 0:02:48could lead to new unrest and even violence.
0:02:48 > 0:02:52These sites at the heart of Jerusalem that are wholly to
0:02:52 > 0:02:57Christians, Muslims and Jewish people are the source of its
0:02:57 > 0:03:01religious and political power. And the reason why it has a bloodstained
0:03:01 > 0:03:08history stretching back 3000 years. For both Israelis and Palestinians,
0:03:08 > 0:03:13Jerusalem is a capital and a religious symbol. In the city,
0:03:13 > 0:03:18politics and faith are hopelessly tangled. In Washington, President
0:03:18 > 0:03:23Trump seems convinced he's doing the right thing.It's long overdue. Many
0:03:23 > 0:03:27presidents have said they want to do something and they didn't do it,
0:03:27 > 0:03:31whether it's through courage or they change their mind, I can't tell you.
0:03:31 > 0:03:37Benjamin Netanyahu is Israel's Prime Minister and is delighted. He said
0:03:37 > 0:03:43it is a great day for Israel's national identity. Jerusalem is
0:03:43 > 0:03:48always tense. The conflict is part of everyone's lives. The city is
0:03:48 > 0:03:52quietest when nothing challenges the status quo. The new US policy is a
0:03:52 > 0:03:56big change and that makes it dangerous and could mean the idea of
0:03:56 > 0:04:00peace through establishing an independent Palestine along Israel,
0:04:00 > 0:04:06even less realistic.The US is delivering a lethal bullet to the
0:04:06 > 0:04:13heart of the two state solution, that would be death to the two state
0:04:13 > 0:04:17solution because Israel is that the heart of it, the major pillar of it.
0:04:17 > 0:04:21Israel has been at the centre of the shed and troubled history of Israel
0:04:21 > 0:04:26and the Palestinians. Israel became independent after a war in 1948. The
0:04:26 > 0:04:33Arabs lost and 750,000 Palestinians were expelled by Israel or fled.
0:04:33 > 0:04:36When the shooting stopped, Jerusalem was divided between Israel and
0:04:36 > 0:04:41neighbouring Jordan. Israel declared its side to be its capital, the rest
0:04:41 > 0:04:46of the world didn't agree, arguing Jerusalem's final status was
0:04:46 > 0:04:52undecided. In 1967, Israel beat all its Arab neighbours in another war,
0:04:52 > 0:04:57the Jordanians were forced out of their East side of Jerusalem, which
0:04:57 > 0:05:01include the walled old city and Jerusalem's most important holy
0:05:01 > 0:05:10site. Israel extended its borders. In 1993, Israelis and Palestinians
0:05:10 > 0:05:16started a peace protest. One of the biggest issues was the future of
0:05:16 > 0:05:21Jerusalem. Palestinians want a capital of a future state to be in
0:05:21 > 0:05:26the east of the city. Israel hinted at compromise, but the peace process
0:05:26 > 0:05:31broke down years ago. The current Israeli government says Jerusalem
0:05:31 > 0:05:38will not be divided. Britain has big doubts.We think that Jerusalem,
0:05:38 > 0:05:43obviously, should be part of the final settlement between the
0:05:43 > 0:05:47Israelis and the Palestinians, a negotiated settlement that we want
0:05:47 > 0:05:54to see. We have no plans ourselves to move our embassy.The king of
0:05:54 > 0:05:59Jordan is in Turkey for talks with President erred on, very important
0:05:59 > 0:06:06neighbours of the Israelis. The leaders opposed from's change to the
0:06:06 > 0:06:10status quo in Jerusalem, this city they believe is key to peace.I did
0:06:10 > 0:06:14we emphasise to the US president yesterday our concerns on the
0:06:14 > 0:06:18decision to move the US Embassy to Jerusalem. Therefore it is
0:06:18 > 0:06:24imperative now to work fast to reach a final status solution and a peace
0:06:24 > 0:06:31agreement between Palestinians and Israelis.In Gaza there were small
0:06:31 > 0:06:35demonstrations. The US and Israel may be gambling that the anger of
0:06:35 > 0:06:39Palestinians and all the others who have condemned trump's plan won't
0:06:39 > 0:06:44last long. The risk is that they are wrong. Jeremy Bowen, BBC News.
0:06:44 > 0:06:46In a moment we'll be getting the latest from our
0:06:46 > 0:06:49North America Editor Jon Sopel in Washington, but first
0:06:49 > 0:06:53Yolande Knell is in Jerusalem.
0:06:53 > 0:06:58We are still waiting for the exact wording Mr Trump will use, but what
0:06:58 > 0:07:02do you think the likely reaction is going to be in the region?Well, for
0:07:02 > 0:07:10Miss many Israelis President Trump's move will show what they see as a
0:07:10 > 0:07:14historic injustice, it's long been a cause of upset for them. The US,
0:07:14 > 0:07:20Israel's closest ally, doesn't have its embassy here in Jerusalem and
0:07:20 > 0:07:22doesn't recognise formally Israelis sovereignty over the city, which
0:07:22 > 0:07:29they see as their eternal undivided capital. We have had Israeli
0:07:29 > 0:07:35politicians coming out all the set suggestions being put out and saying
0:07:35 > 0:07:38they hope other countries will follow Washington's lead on all of
0:07:38 > 0:07:43this. But the Palestinians are sounding alarm. The Palestinian
0:07:43 > 0:07:48ambassador to the UK has called this the kiss of death for Mr Trump's
0:07:48 > 0:07:50hopes of restarting the stalled Middle East peace process.Thank
0:07:50 > 0:07:57you. Most US presidents tried to calm
0:07:57 > 0:08:00tensions in the Middle East, Mr Trump seems to be doing the very
0:08:00 > 0:08:04opposite?Donald Trump follows in a long tradition of US presidents
0:08:04 > 0:08:09trying to bring peace to the Middle East, but few have gone about it in
0:08:09 > 0:08:14such an unorthodox way. He has just started speaking now. He has two
0:08:14 > 0:08:18broad goals. The first is to honour an election pledge, which is to move
0:08:18 > 0:08:22the US embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem and to recognise the
0:08:22 > 0:08:26capital is Jerusalem. The other is to bring peace to the Middle East.
0:08:26 > 0:08:31Despite the warnings from many people that the two a kind of
0:08:31 > 0:08:36mutually exclusive, if you do the first how on earth will you bring
0:08:36 > 0:08:39Arabs to the table in a spirit of believing that the Americans are
0:08:39 > 0:08:44fair and evenhanded in their reproach? Donald Trump will argue,
0:08:44 > 0:08:47look, its historic reality, its present-day reality that Jerusalem
0:08:47 > 0:08:52is the capital of Israel. But he has run into a lot of opposition and the
0:08:52 > 0:08:55White House has gone on a charm offensive to win over people. So
0:08:55 > 0:09:06far, he's only won over the Israelis.Thank you both very much.

0:09:12 > 0:09:16The Brexit Secretary has been accused of gross negligence
0:09:16 > 0:09:18after admitting that the government has not tried to calculate
0:09:18 > 0:09:20the effect Brexit might have on the British economy.
0:09:20 > 0:09:23Meanwhile, Theresa May has been trying to tackle the thorny issue
0:09:23 > 0:09:25of what happens to the border between Northern Ireland
0:09:25 > 0:09:27and the Republic - the issue that scuppered Brexit
0:09:27 > 0:09:30negotiations on Monday.
0:09:30 > 0:09:32She's been talking to the Irish Prime Minister,
0:09:32 > 0:09:37and with Arlene Foster, the leader of Northern
0:09:37 > 0:09:38Ireland's DUP.
0:09:38 > 0:09:43Here's our deputy political editor John Pienaar.
0:09:43 > 0:09:52Three, two, one...Theresa May need some comfort and joy, in the Cabinet
0:09:52 > 0:09:57in her party in Ireland, north and south. If only everyone could sing
0:09:57 > 0:10:02from the same hymn sheet on Brexit. Her message, start trade talks, we
0:10:02 > 0:10:08could all get what we want.We aim to deliver this as part of our
0:10:08 > 0:10:10overall trade deal between the United Kingdom and the European
0:10:10 > 0:10:18Union.Labour's loving Theresa May's troubles.Brexit negotiations in a
0:10:18 > 0:10:25shambles. This government is clearly not fit for the future.
0:10:25 > 0:10:28Tory Brexiteers are ramping up the pressure, too. They say no more
0:10:28 > 0:10:34concessions.Will she apply a new coat of paint her red lines, because
0:10:34 > 0:10:39I fear on Monday they were beginning to look a little bit pink?If we had
0:10:39 > 0:10:42a problem, would it help if I came over to Brussels with you to sort
0:10:42 > 0:10:49them out?The DUP heard Mrs May's pledge to preserve the union but
0:10:49 > 0:10:54want more guarantees Brexit means the same deal for the whole UK.Can
0:10:54 > 0:10:59you give a specific commitment that nothing will be done that create any
0:10:59 > 0:11:02barrier constitutionally, politically, economically or regular
0:11:02 > 0:11:06trips between Northern Ireland and the rest of the United Kingdom?
0:11:06 > 0:11:10Mrs May was on the phone to the DUP leader today but still no sign of an
0:11:10 > 0:11:14agreement, and in Dublin a clear threat, I'll's leader wants a
0:11:14 > 0:11:18promise of free trade and no hard north-south border and he would veto
0:11:18 > 0:11:24the start of trade talks technically's EU summit.If it is
0:11:24 > 0:11:27impossible to move to phase two next week because of the problems that
0:11:27 > 0:11:30have arisen, we can pick it up in the New Year.
0:11:30 > 0:11:33The Prime Minister spoke to him on the phone today as well and still no
0:11:33 > 0:11:38sign of another meeting in Brussels this week. The president of the
0:11:38 > 0:11:40European Union, Jean-Claude Juncker's spokesman went so far
0:11:40 > 0:11:44today is to say his boss wanted to prevent Mrs May's government from
0:11:44 > 0:11:48collapsing. So how clear if Britain's future after Brexit? Not
0:11:48 > 0:11:54at all according to the Brexit Secretary today. He told MPs Brexit
0:11:54 > 0:11:58would have an impact on business so great there was no point in
0:11:58 > 0:12:03predictions. Look at the German's face.So there isn't one, for
0:12:03 > 0:12:07example, on the automotive sector? No, not that I'm aware Rob.
0:12:07 > 0:12:16Aerospace?No. Financial services? I think it will be no to all of them.
0:12:16 > 0:12:19And our new cause for Brexiteer Tories to complain. The Chancellor
0:12:19 > 0:12:26says Britain won't shirk its divorce Bill, deal or no deal.That's just
0:12:26 > 0:12:28not a credible scenario. That's not the kind of country we are and
0:12:28 > 0:12:32frankly it would not make us a credible partner for future
0:12:32 > 0:12:36international agreements. But Theresa May's team says there
0:12:36 > 0:12:42will be no deal including cash until Brexit is agreed. Tonight, goodwill
0:12:42 > 0:12:46is in short supply in the Cabinet.
0:12:46 > 0:12:48The first of the so-called Chennai Six has arrived in the UK,
0:12:48 > 0:12:50more than four years after the former soldiers
0:12:50 > 0:12:52were jailed in India on weapons charges.
0:12:52 > 0:12:55Billy Irving was greeted by friends and family along with two bagpipers
0:12:55 > 0:13:01when he touched down at Glasgow Airport.
0:13:01 > 0:13:03He said it felt "excellent to be home".
0:13:03 > 0:13:06The others are due to arrive tomorrow.
0:13:06 > 0:13:09A man has appeared in court accused of plotting to assassinate
0:13:09 > 0:13:15the Prime Minister in a bomb and knife attack on Downing Street.
0:13:15 > 0:13:1720-year-old Naa'imur Zakariyah Rahman is alleged to have planned
0:13:17 > 0:13:19to bomb the security gates, before attacking Number ten
0:13:19 > 0:13:23with a knife and suicide vest in an attempt to kill Theresa May.
0:13:23 > 0:13:32Here's our Home Affairs Correspondent, June Kelly.
0:13:32 > 0:13:35Counterterrorism detectives moved in on these two men last week.
0:13:35 > 0:13:40Yesterday they were charged and this morning, amid high security, came
0:13:40 > 0:13:44their first court appearance. One is accused of planning to strike at the
0:13:44 > 0:13:50heart of the British government and assassinate Theresa May. He is
0:13:50 > 0:13:55Naa'imur Zakariyah Rahman on the left. In the dock with him was
0:13:55 > 0:13:59Mohammed Aqib Imran. In court came the outline of the prosecution case.
0:13:59 > 0:14:03Naa'imur Zakariyah Rahman is 20 years old and told the court he was
0:14:03 > 0:14:08Bangladeshi British. He is accused of planning to detonate an
0:14:08 > 0:14:10improvised explosive device, in other words a bomb, here at the
0:14:10 > 0:14:16Downing Street gates. In the chaos that would follow, it is alleged
0:14:16 > 0:14:20suicide vests, pepper spray and a knife, he wanted to get down the
0:14:20 > 0:14:24street to number ten and killed the Prime Minister. He was arrested last
0:14:24 > 0:14:31Tuesday in this Road in west London. It is claimed that he had two inert
0:14:31 > 0:14:34explosive devices in his possession. He is also accused of helping his
0:14:34 > 0:14:40co-defendant, Mohammed Aqib Imran, to prepare ter Avest acts. It's
0:14:40 > 0:14:45claimed he was planning to travel abroad to help IS fighters.
0:14:45 > 0:14:49Yesterday the head of MI5 briefed the cabinet about the security
0:14:49 > 0:14:53situation. Nine Islamist inspired plots are said to have been thwarted
0:14:53 > 0:14:57this year. The next hearing in this latest case will be in two weeks'
0:14:57 > 0:14:58time.
0:14:58 > 0:15:00June Kelly, BBC News.
0:15:00 > 0:15:06A man has appeared in court accused of sharing the address of Prince
0:15:06 > 0:15:10George's school with extremist. He has been charged with terrorism
0:15:10 > 0:15:15offences. We can get some details on this. Tom Clements is with me. What
0:15:15 > 0:15:22is he alleged to have done?He is 31 and he is accused of using the
0:15:22 > 0:15:26messaging app telegram, setting up groups and channels and then posting
0:15:26 > 0:15:32on those channels tips and advice for people who might want to carry
0:15:32 > 0:15:36out terrorist attacks. One of the things he is alleged to have posted
0:15:36 > 0:15:41is a picture of Prince George, who is now four years old, and the
0:15:41 > 0:15:45address of his school. He is also said to have put details about
0:15:45 > 0:15:52stadiums around the UK on to that messaging app. He's accused of
0:15:52 > 0:15:55assisting others to commit acts of terrorism and planning to travel to
0:15:55 > 0:16:00Syria, to areas controlled by the so-called Islamic State group to
0:16:00 > 0:16:04take part in fighting. It was a short appearance, as is always the
0:16:04 > 0:16:07case that these magistrates hearing and he will appear at the Old Bailey
0:16:07 > 0:16:09on the 20th.Thank you very much.
0:16:14 > 0:16:15The time is 6:16pm.
0:16:15 > 0:16:19Our top story this evening:
0:16:19 > 0:16:24President Trump announces a radical change in US policy by recognising
0:16:24 > 0:16:28Jerusalem as Israel's capital. And still to come...
0:16:28 > 0:16:30From shipbuilding to social art - we'll report from Sunderland
0:16:30 > 0:16:35on its bid to become UK Capital of Culture.
0:16:35 > 0:16:38Coming up on Sportsday in the next 15 minutes on BBC News...
0:16:38 > 0:16:40Will England have a record five clubs in the last 16
0:16:40 > 0:16:42of the Champions League?
0:16:42 > 0:16:45That all rests on Liverpool's result against Spartak Moscow.
0:16:45 > 0:16:47We'll have the latest from Anfield.
0:16:53 > 0:16:57"Fake news" - it's a phrase that's been used so much recently that it's
0:16:57 > 0:16:58even made it into the dictionary.
0:16:58 > 0:17:01At a time when so many people, especially the young,
0:17:01 > 0:17:04get their news from sharing stories through social media,
0:17:04 > 0:17:08it's becoming increasingly difficult to tell what's true and what's
0:17:08 > 0:17:11- well, fake.
0:17:11 > 0:17:13Now the BBC is launching a scheme to help school pupils
0:17:13 > 0:17:14tell the difference.
0:17:14 > 0:17:17Here's our Media Editor, Amol Rajan.
0:17:17 > 0:17:20So many sources of news, all fighting for our attention.
0:17:20 > 0:17:23But how many of these can we actually trust?
0:17:23 > 0:17:26For centuries, the news has been delivered in bundles -
0:17:26 > 0:17:30whether TV bulletins or printed newspapers.
0:17:30 > 0:17:32But these sixth formers from the Leigh Academy in Kent don't
0:17:32 > 0:17:36watch the news like you do.
0:17:36 > 0:17:38These guys devour news on their mobiles, and spend
0:17:38 > 0:17:40three hours a day on one platform in particular.
0:17:40 > 0:17:42So, how do you consume news every day?
0:17:42 > 0:17:45I'll be honest, mainly through Snapchat.
0:17:45 > 0:17:49Put your hand up if you're on Snapchat.
0:17:49 > 0:17:51To gauge their news literacy, we showed the pupils an image
0:17:51 > 0:17:54that was shared thousands of times on social media.
0:17:54 > 0:17:56It depicts a Muslim woman after the Westminster
0:17:56 > 0:17:59Bridge terror attack.
0:17:59 > 0:18:02Yeah, she seems like she's not caring, or maybe she saw it
0:18:02 > 0:18:03and didn't really take notice of it.
0:18:03 > 0:18:06But this was fake news.
0:18:06 > 0:18:09The image was attached to a tweet from an account linked to Russia.
0:18:09 > 0:18:12And our pupils did detect anti-Muslim prejudice.
0:18:12 > 0:18:14I think if she was of a different race, this tweet would
0:18:14 > 0:18:17never have been put out.
0:18:17 > 0:18:20And it's really wrong that people feel the need to do that.
0:18:20 > 0:18:26It doesn't sound right.
0:18:26 > 0:18:29Like, it describes it, but it also puts hate into it.
0:18:29 > 0:18:32It's when they put their own opinion into it as well.
0:18:32 > 0:18:34Such is the daily onslaught of information in these pupils'
0:18:34 > 0:18:36lives that fake or false information can go undetected.
0:18:36 > 0:18:39We still don't know the scale of fake news and misinformation
0:18:39 > 0:18:42online here in Britain.
0:18:42 > 0:18:45But what we do know is that teenagers are glued to screens,
0:18:45 > 0:18:48swimming in an ocean of truth, falsehood and everything in between.
0:18:48 > 0:18:50Many of them already have excellent judgment about the news,
0:18:50 > 0:18:55but few know the real sources of deceit online.
0:18:55 > 0:18:57In America, the Senate has received examples of fake
0:18:57 > 0:18:59news promoted by Russia.
0:18:59 > 0:19:01Many fear that this threat could erode democracy
0:19:01 > 0:19:02closer to home, too.
0:19:02 > 0:19:05We have to wake up and understand that the way that people
0:19:05 > 0:19:06receive facts has changed.
0:19:06 > 0:19:08We have to teach people to discriminate, to give them
0:19:08 > 0:19:11the tools, in other words, to be a citizen in a
0:19:11 > 0:19:14political democracy.
0:19:14 > 0:19:17The BBC has now decided to step into this terrain,
0:19:17 > 0:19:19setting up an online portal and asking senior journalists
0:19:19 > 0:19:22to visit schools and act as mentors.
0:19:22 > 0:19:24On the issue of combating fake news, it seems that
0:19:24 > 0:19:26young and old are united.
0:19:26 > 0:19:29Education is the key.
0:19:29 > 0:19:31People don't know it's unreliable, and without education on it,
0:19:31 > 0:19:34and without knowing the signs, then you will believe it.
0:19:34 > 0:19:38And you can go out in the world and actually talk to people
0:19:38 > 0:19:44about your opinion that's formed an fake information.
0:19:44 > 0:19:47What shall we do about it?
0:19:47 > 0:19:50I think the education in school is very important.
0:19:50 > 0:19:52If you start from a young age, then I think people learn
0:19:52 > 0:19:56and reflect on that and they carry it with them through their lives.
0:19:56 > 0:19:57The BBC couldn't have put it better themselves.
0:19:57 > 0:19:58Amol Rajan, BBC News.
0:19:58 > 0:20:00More than 1,000 firefighters are tackling huge
0:20:00 > 0:20:01wildfires in California.
0:20:01 > 0:20:03Hundreds of buildings have already been destroyed.
0:20:03 > 0:20:0512,000 homes are under threat.
0:20:05 > 0:20:09The fire is burning about 50 miles north of Los Angeles.
0:20:09 > 0:20:14Nearly 30,000 people have been forced from their homes.
0:20:14 > 0:20:18One of the oldest and most complete skeletons of our ancestors has been
0:20:18 > 0:20:19unveiled in South Africa.
0:20:19 > 0:20:22Scientists have spent 20 years excavating and preparing
0:20:22 > 0:20:25the skeleton, which they've called Littlefoot.
0:20:25 > 0:20:29It's thought the fossilised remains are more than 3.5 million years old.
0:20:29 > 0:20:34Andrew Harding reports from Johannesburg.
0:20:34 > 0:20:42They found her skeleton in these deep caves outside Johannesburg.
0:20:42 > 0:20:44She'd been lying here for almost four million years.
0:20:44 > 0:20:50Trapped in the rock.
0:20:50 > 0:20:52Today, Little Foot finally emerged - astonishingly intact,
0:20:52 > 0:20:55after 20 painstaking years of excavation.
0:20:55 > 0:21:00These bones had a very, very fragile, flaky surface many of them.
0:21:00 > 0:21:08And it was like trying to extract a pie with flaky
0:21:08 > 0:21:09pastry out of concrete
0:21:09 > 0:21:11without damaging the pie.
0:21:11 > 0:21:14We had to do this properly, we had to do it slowly.
0:21:14 > 0:21:17Yes, it took more than 20 years of my life, but I feel younger
0:21:17 > 0:21:20and stronger for it!
0:21:20 > 0:21:23So, these are the caves where Little Foot was found.
0:21:23 > 0:21:26The theory goes that she was walking along the surface, fell
0:21:26 > 0:21:27down into the caves, and was covered
0:21:27 > 0:21:28by sediment and rock.
0:21:28 > 0:21:31Millions of years later, scientists in the 1980s and 1990s
0:21:31 > 0:21:36in a series of extraordinary coincidences, stumbled
0:21:36 > 0:21:40across her remains and slowly managed to piece them back together.
0:21:40 > 0:21:45Her skeleton shows she was in her 30s.
0:21:45 > 0:21:48She probably lived in the trees, and crucially, she was more
0:21:48 > 0:21:51like us than like an ape.
0:21:51 > 0:21:57So the pictures you see in books of our ancestors gradually getting
0:21:57 > 0:22:00up off of all fours and walking along in a stooped manner,
0:22:00 > 0:22:04that's all nonsense.
0:22:04 > 0:22:06They were upright when they were in the trees,
0:22:06 > 0:22:09and they were upright when they came down to the ground.
0:22:09 > 0:22:14And now they're us?
0:22:14 > 0:22:15Yes, now they're us.
0:22:15 > 0:22:18Unearthed in these caves then, a vital addition to our own
0:22:18 > 0:22:19complicated family tree.
0:22:19 > 0:22:22Andrew Harding, BBC News, South Africa.
0:22:22 > 0:22:25This time yesterday I was talking about hopes of an England fightback
0:22:25 > 0:22:27in the second Ashes Test.
0:22:27 > 0:22:28Well, it wasn't to be.
0:22:28 > 0:22:31Australia wrapped up a 120-run victory in less than two
0:22:31 > 0:22:32hours of the final day.
0:22:32 > 0:22:35But captain Joe Root insists his side are still in the Ashes,
0:22:35 > 0:22:36despite the back-to-back defeats.
0:22:36 > 0:22:40Our Sports Correspondent, Andy Swiss, reports from Adelaide.
0:22:40 > 0:22:41PLAYS THE GREAT ESCAPE THEME TUNE.
0:22:41 > 0:22:43They'd arrived with such optimism.
0:22:43 > 0:22:49England fans hoping to witness one of cricket's greatest comebacks.
0:22:49 > 0:22:52But within minutes, their hopes lay in tatters.
0:22:52 > 0:22:55Second ball of the day, Chris Woakes caught behind.
0:22:55 > 0:22:57And even worse was to follow.
0:22:57 > 0:23:01England's captain and cornerstone, Joe Root, gone for 67.
0:23:01 > 0:23:04Australia had their key man.
0:23:04 > 0:23:07And when Moeen Ali was trapped for just two, any last lingering
0:23:07 > 0:23:09hopes left with him.
0:23:09 > 0:23:11The rest was a formality.
0:23:11 > 0:23:14In just an hour and three quarters, England's dreams had been
0:23:14 > 0:23:15ruthlessly dispatched.
0:23:15 > 0:23:16Oh, that's it!
0:23:16 > 0:23:18Australia taking a 2-0 lead, while England try
0:23:18 > 0:23:21to take the positives.
0:23:21 > 0:23:24We've shown throughout the two games the periods that we can
0:23:24 > 0:23:25outperform Australia.
0:23:25 > 0:23:28But just not for five days.
0:23:28 > 0:23:31And that's going to be our challenge, really.
0:23:31 > 0:23:34The harsh reality of this defeat, though, is that England's Ashes
0:23:34 > 0:23:37hopes are now hanging by a thread.
0:23:37 > 0:23:39If they lose the next match in Perth, where they haven't won
0:23:39 > 0:23:44for nearly 40 years, it's all over.
0:23:44 > 0:23:46England haven't been able to match the pace of Australia's bowlers,
0:23:46 > 0:23:50or the durability of their batsmen.
0:23:50 > 0:23:53And some believe there's no way back.
0:23:53 > 0:23:57We've had a moment here where we've all been up a bit and maybe...
0:23:57 > 0:24:01But when it comes to the tough moments, they're better than us.
0:24:01 > 0:24:03So, no chance?
0:24:03 > 0:24:06I don't think so, no.
0:24:06 > 0:24:08And so, an all-too familiar story.
0:24:08 > 0:24:11England have now lost their last seven Tests in Australia.
0:24:11 > 0:24:14One more, and their Ashes hopes will have turned to dust.
0:24:14 > 0:24:18Andy Swiss, BBC News, Adelaide.
0:24:20 > 0:24:24There's just one day to go before we find out which contender will be
0:24:24 > 0:24:26named UK City of Culture 2021.
0:24:26 > 0:24:29Sunderland is one of five places bidding to win the title.
0:24:29 > 0:24:33It's up against Coventry, Paisley, Stoke-on-Trent and Swansea.
0:24:33 > 0:24:36As Judith Moritz reports, a city that is best known these days
0:24:36 > 0:24:40for its highly efficient car-making plants is keen to show
0:24:40 > 0:24:43it has another side.
0:24:47 > 0:24:49# By the harbour wall
0:24:49 > 0:24:51# The place you love the most #.
0:24:51 > 0:24:54Sunderland has been shaped by the sea.
0:24:54 > 0:24:58Where once they built ships, now they make music.
0:24:58 > 0:25:02Culture here, inspired by the waves.
0:25:02 > 0:25:04So the landscape pulls on your heartstrings here?
0:25:04 > 0:25:05Yeah, it absolutely does.
0:25:05 > 0:25:06I mean, just look at it.
0:25:06 > 0:25:10Even on a kind of stormy day like this, it's still beautiful.
0:25:10 > 0:25:12Coronation Street actress Melanie Hill grew up near this shore.
0:25:12 > 0:25:18She says Sunderland is special, and should be City of Culture.
0:25:18 > 0:25:20For me, it's the community, and it's a community spirit.
0:25:20 > 0:25:24And since this bid was started, I've seen the communities coming
0:25:24 > 0:25:28together, and there's like an energy.
0:25:28 > 0:25:33And people have begun to have hope again.
0:25:33 > 0:25:36Sunderland champions social art - a way of people creating
0:25:36 > 0:25:40and connecting at the same time.
0:25:40 > 0:25:44I think there's a lot of talent in Sunderland.
0:25:44 > 0:25:48I'm not saying I'm one of them, but you never can tell!
0:25:48 > 0:25:56It was once hailed as the largest ship-building city in the world.
0:25:56 > 0:26:00But hundreds of yards have closed down, and coal
0:26:00 > 0:26:06and glass have declined, too.
0:26:06 > 0:26:12The furnaces still burn, but here it's for artistry, not industry.
0:26:12 > 0:26:15For this apprentice, there's a bright future.
0:26:15 > 0:26:18Unfortunately, that old culture and heritage has gone.
0:26:18 > 0:26:21But we're trying to keep it alive here at the National Glass
0:26:21 > 0:26:27Centre, keep it going.
0:26:27 > 0:26:30And like some of the other guys that work here, it's like,
0:26:30 > 0:26:32they've all got real experience from when they did work
0:26:32 > 0:26:33in those factories.
0:26:33 > 0:26:36So they're still keeping it alive, and kind of passing it
0:26:36 > 0:26:38on to like the new generation of glass-makers, like myself.
0:26:38 > 0:26:40Sunderland is forging a new path.
0:26:40 > 0:26:43With an eye on its proud heritage, the city also has a bold
0:26:43 > 0:26:44vision for the future.
0:26:44 > 0:26:46Judith Moritz, BBC News, Sunderland.
0:26:46 > 0:26:48Time for a look at the weather.
0:26:48 > 0:26:49Here's Sarah Keith-Lucas.
0:26:49 > 0:26:53Here's Sarah Keith-Lucas.
0:26:53 > 0:26:57Well, the wind is the main theme to the forecast of the next 24 hours or
0:26:57 > 0:27:02so. Storm Caroline is sweeping its way in. Tomorrow it could produce
0:27:02 > 0:27:05winds of 80 mph or more, particularly across the North of
0:27:05 > 0:27:08Scotland. That is where we have an ample warning from the weblog is in
0:27:08 > 0:27:15force. -- and ample warning from the Met Office. The winds are picking
0:27:15 > 0:27:18up, cloudy, without breaks of rain pushing their way towards the
0:27:18 > 0:27:23south-east alike. The winds are very strong. Gale or severe gales
0:27:23 > 0:27:27overnight. During the early hours of Thursday one, storm Caroline shows
0:27:27 > 0:27:31its hand. You can see the proximity of these isobars indicating a windy
0:27:31 > 0:27:37weather across the North of Scotland. For the tomorrow morning
0:27:37 > 0:27:43rush-hour, we could see gusts of 80 mph in northern Scotland. Northern
0:27:43 > 0:27:47Ireland as well. This band of heavy rain and strong winds clears away
0:27:47 > 0:27:51gradually from the south-east, leaving us all in sunshine and
0:27:51 > 0:27:54wintry showers. But those really strong northerly winds continuing
0:27:54 > 0:27:58across northern parts of the country, combined with sleet and
0:27:58 > 0:28:02snow showers. Tomorrow will feel much colder than it has done
0:28:02 > 0:28:07recently. As we move through Thursday night and on into Friday,
0:28:07 > 0:28:11storm Caroline clears away towards the north-east. We have still got a
0:28:11 > 0:28:20cold northerly airflow with us, bringing us a cold day on Friday.
0:28:20 > 0:28:22There will be wintry sunshine, and also plenty of snow showers across
0:28:22 > 0:28:26Scotland, Northern Ireland, the West of England and Wales. A few of those
0:28:26 > 0:28:30snow showers filtering through the Midlands, we could see a flurry of
0:28:30 > 0:28:34snow in London. It will feel subzero when you add on the influence of the
0:28:34 > 0:28:38wind-chill. Lots going on in the weather in the next few days. You
0:28:38 > 0:28:40can keep up-to-date on our website.
0:28:43 > 0:28:45Sarah, thank you.
0:28:45 > 0:28:48A reminder of our main story...
0:28:48 > 0:28:51President Trump has recognised the
