It's America first for trade,

Donald Trump tells global

0:00:060:00:08

finance leaders, but the US

is still open for business.

0:00:080:00:13

The high-flying audience queued

for over an hour to hear

0:00:130:00:15

the President declare a booming US

would benefit everyone.

0:00:150:00:21

America first does not

mean America alone.

0:00:210:00:25

When the United States

grows, so does the world.

0:00:250:00:30

We'll be asking how

the President's speech went down.

0:00:300:00:32

Also tonight:

0:00:320:00:34

Charting a new course,

the Brexit Secretary

0:00:340:00:37

outlines his vision for the years

immediately after Britain's

0:00:370:00:39

departure from the EU.

0:00:390:00:43

The fatal crash in a stolen car

that left five dead.

0:00:430:00:46

The 15-year-old driver is detained

for four and a half years.

0:00:460:00:51

Six male BBC presenters

agree a salary cut after

0:00:510:00:53

a row over unequal pay.

0:00:530:00:56

The company whose

meat is off the menu.

0:00:560:00:58

The Food Standards Agency says

it's recalled products

0:00:580:01:00

because of hygiene issues.

0:01:000:01:03

And we reveal the winner

of a British Academy Film Award

0:01:030:01:06

for Outstanding Contribution.

0:01:060:01:09

And later in the hour on BBC News

we are at Huish Park

0:01:100:01:13

for FA Cup Sportsday.

0:01:130:01:14

It's the fourth round,

and will history repeat itself

0:01:140:01:16

between Yeovil Town and Manchester

United?

0:01:160:01:23

Good evening and welcome

to the BBC News at Six.

0:01:390:01:41

Donald Trump has told an audience

of business and political leaders

0:01:410:01:45

that his mantra of "America first"

does not mean "America alone".

0:01:450:01:50

Speaking at the World Economic Forum

in Davos in Switzerland,

0:01:500:01:53

Mr Trump said the US was doing

"fantastically well"

0:01:530:01:55

and was "open for business".

0:01:550:01:57

But he hit out at what he called

other countries' "predatory"

0:01:570:02:00

trading practices.

0:02:000:02:01

Earlier, the President said

he was prepared to apologise

0:02:010:02:03

for sharing social media

posts by the far right

0:02:030:02:05

group Britain First.

0:02:050:02:09

Our North America editor, Jon Sopel,

is in Davos this evening.

0:02:090:02:17

It is a very rare thing for the US

President to come to Davos, and a

0:02:200:02:25

year ago would have been unthinkable

for Donald Trump to have turned up

0:02:250:02:28

here, the home of the 1%, the elite,

the globalists, the very people he

0:02:280:02:33

railed against during his

presidential campaign. But something

0:02:330:02:39

funny has happened over the past

couple of days. He seemed to quite

0:02:390:02:43

like them, and they seemed to quite

like him.

0:02:430:02:48

Wherever Donald Trump has gone

in Davos, the crowds

0:02:480:02:50

have gone with him.

0:02:500:02:51

And wherever the cameras have

been, the President has

0:02:510:02:53

been pleased to oblige.

0:02:530:02:54

I hope we're going to bring

back many billions of

0:02:540:02:56

dollars into the US.

0:02:560:02:58

I think that will happen.

0:02:580:02:59

It's already happening.

0:02:590:03:01

But billions of dollars is coming

back into the US and I think

0:03:010:03:04

that will just continue.

0:03:040:03:05

How much today?

0:03:050:03:06

How much?

0:03:060:03:07

Probably a lot.

0:03:070:03:09

And that was the theme

of his speech.

0:03:090:03:12

America first, yes, but an America

welcoming the world.

0:03:120:03:16

I will always put America first,

just like the leaders

0:03:160:03:21

of other countries should

put their country first also.

0:03:210:03:28

But America first does

not mean America alone.

0:03:280:03:34

When the United States

grows, so does the world.

0:03:340:03:39

But at the end of a week

in which the US imposed extra

0:03:390:03:42

charges on some imported goods

from China, he played down

0:03:420:03:45

talk of a trade war.

0:03:450:03:46

Nevertheless, there was a warning.

0:03:460:03:49

We cannot have free and open trade

if some countries exploit the system

0:03:490:03:52

at the expense of others.

0:03:520:03:57

We support free trade,

but it needs to be fair,

0:03:570:04:02

and it needs to be reciprocal.

0:04:020:04:06

Because in the end, unfair

trade undermines us all.

0:04:060:04:14

Some stood to applaud,

but it wasn't the ovation given

0:04:140:04:16

to President Xi of China last year.

0:04:160:04:20

This hasn't been a complete meeting

of minds, but then again

0:04:200:04:22

it was never going to be.

0:04:220:04:24

That said, Donald Trump has been

more conciliatory than many

0:04:240:04:26

would have expected,

and the audience have

0:04:260:04:28

reacted more warmly.

0:04:280:04:31

It may be that Davos 2018 turns

out to be a win-win.

0:04:310:04:37

And the President was in

conciliatory, almost repentant mood

0:04:370:04:41

over those Britain First anti-Muslim

retweets from last year that

0:04:410:04:44

brought him to blows with the Prime

Minister.

0:04:440:04:47

Here's what's fair.

0:04:470:04:48

If you're telling me those

are horrible people,

0:04:480:04:51

horrible, racist people,

I would certainly apologise,

0:04:510:04:53

if you'd like me to do that.

0:04:530:04:55

I know nothing about them.

0:04:550:04:56

So, yes, he would apologise,

he just didn't actually say sorry.

0:04:560:05:00

The President has now

left the Swiss Alps,

0:05:000:05:04

and if not yet a fully paid-up

member of the Davos set,

0:05:040:05:07

he will probably be invited back.

0:05:070:05:10

There's a lot they liked

about what Donald Trump said,

0:05:100:05:13

and who would disagree

with his central message,

0:05:130:05:16

that a booming US economy is good

for the global economy?

0:05:160:05:19

Jon Sopel, BBC News, Davos.

0:05:190:05:25

The Brexit Secretary, David Davis,

has outlined the government's plan

0:05:250:05:27

for the transition period

after Britain leaves the

0:05:270:05:30

European Union in March next year.

0:05:300:05:33

He said that during the time-limited

transition period,

0:05:330:05:36

the UK would be free to sign

new trade agreements.

0:05:360:05:38

But Mr Davis tried to play down

rifts within the Conservative Party

0:05:380:05:41

over Europe, insisting there is "no

difference" between himself,

0:05:410:05:46

the Chancellor and the Prime

Minister over Brexit.

0:05:460:05:48

Our political correspondent

Alex Forsyth reports.

0:05:480:05:51

In Teesside today the Brexit

secretary was trying

0:05:510:05:55

to calm troubled waters.

0:05:550:05:57

Surrounded by businesses

dependent on EU trade,

0:05:570:06:00

he promised certainty and continuity

when we leave.

0:06:000:06:03

David Davis set out the Government's

plans for a transition period of up

0:06:030:06:06

to two years after Brexit.

0:06:060:06:08

This is a bridge to a new future

partnership, where crucially

0:06:080:06:11

the United Kingdom is outside

the single market and outside

0:06:110:06:13

of the customs union.

0:06:130:06:18

He said for business

there would be no dramatic change,

0:06:180:06:21

but the UK would start to talk trade

with other countries,

0:06:210:06:24

all to be negotiated with the EU,

but for now it's comments

0:06:240:06:29

by his Cabinet colleague

that is causing problems.

0:06:290:06:32

The Chancellor said there could be

very modest changes in EU relations.

0:06:320:06:37

If the Cabinet can't

agree on its position,

0:06:370:06:38

how can you possibly

negotiate with Brussels?

0:06:380:06:40

Look, I'm in politics,

and people debate,

0:06:400:06:42

and they have different views.

0:06:420:06:46

There's a diversity of views on this

subject, in all parties.

0:06:460:06:50

That doesn't mean that we don't have

or can't have a coherent

0:06:500:06:53

and forceful view, in the interests

of the United Kingdom.

0:06:530:07:00

Ministers don't always

want their divisions laid bare.

0:07:000:07:06

Today the Chancellor insisted

he backed the Government's view.

0:07:060:07:08

I was speaking about our trade

relationship with the EU, and it is

0:07:080:07:11

the Government's policy

that we want to maintain the maximum

0:07:110:07:14

possible access to markets,

and the minimum

0:07:140:07:16

friction at our borders.

0:07:160:07:19

Nonetheless, his comments angered

some Tory MPs, although they

0:07:190:07:21

insisted they are still

behind Theresa May.

0:07:210:07:25

Downing Street has made it clear

that the Chancellor did not

0:07:250:07:28

represent Government policy,

and Government policy remains as set

0:07:280:07:30

out by the Prime Minister.

0:07:300:07:38

But the businesses Brexit

will affect say the political

0:07:420:07:45

discord is damaging.

0:07:450:07:49

This car parts manufacturer

in Redcar relies on being able

0:07:490:07:54

to import from and export to the EU,

and its boss wants far

0:07:540:07:57

more clarity from the Government

about its long-term Brexit plan.

0:07:570:07:59

I think it's been pretty

shambolic, and I just want

0:07:590:08:02

them to get on with it.

0:08:020:08:03

From the contrary statements

coming out and infighting

0:08:030:08:05

that is happening, I don't know

what they're expecting to achieve,

0:08:050:08:08

I don't know what their targets are,

because it's just wishy-washy.

0:08:080:08:16

Businesses like those

here which rely heavily on trade

0:08:160:08:18

with the EU crave certainty.

0:08:180:08:19

The Government says that's what

the transition phase will offer.

0:08:190:08:23

The trouble is the Conservative

Party simply cannot agree

0:08:230:08:26

on what should come beyond.

0:08:260:08:28

And as talks slowly approach

future trade relations,

0:08:280:08:32

what has so far been a fragile truce

among the Tories looks rocky.

0:08:320:08:35

Alex Forsyth, BBC News, Teesside.

0:08:350:08:39

The UK economy grew faster

than expected in the last

0:08:390:08:42

three months of 2017,

according to new figures.

0:08:420:08:43

The Office for National Statistics

said it grew by 0.5% instead

0:08:430:08:46

of the expected 0.4%.

0:08:460:08:50

But economic growth

for the whole of last year

0:08:500:08:53

was the slowest since 2012.

0:08:530:08:55

Our economics editor

Kamal Ahmed reports.

0:08:550:08:59

Building a stronger economy.

0:08:590:09:01

Global growth in China lifting

businesses like this one

0:09:010:09:04

in oxfordshire, making health

equipment for export.

0:09:040:09:07

It's been a challenge.

0:09:070:09:11

It took about three or four years

for us to gain approval for us

0:09:110:09:15

to sell into in China,

but with a bit of patience

0:09:150:09:17

and dedication we've now

got those approvals,

0:09:170:09:19

and we are seeing that uplift

in business now that were able

0:09:190:09:22

to expand into the market

the size of China.

0:09:220:09:24

Speeding around the World Economic

Forum in Davos, the Chancellor,

0:09:240:09:27

selling Britain abroad.

0:09:270:09:30

Our export markets are growing,

we've seen strong growth

0:09:300:09:33

in services in this quarter.

0:09:330:09:37

The economy is just resilient -

it has been much more resilient

0:09:370:09:39

than people expected.

0:09:390:09:41

Also here, the governor

of the Bank of England.

0:09:410:09:43

Yes, the UK economy is growing,

but it is slower than

0:09:430:09:46

many of our competitors.

0:09:460:09:47

The world economy's accelerating,

and we haven't seen that yet,

0:09:470:09:50

but there's prospect,

and I think this is

0:09:500:09:54

the important point.

0:09:540:10:01

There's the prospect this year,

as there is greater clarity

0:10:010:10:03

about the relationship with Europe

and subsequently with the rest

0:10:030:10:06

of the world, for re-coupling,

if I can use that term,

0:10:060:10:08

borrowed from Gwyneth Paltrow.

0:10:080:10:10

A conscious re-coupling

of the economy, with the UK economy

0:10:100:10:13

with the global economy.

0:10:130:10:16

Gwyneth Paltrow to one side,

let's look at the positives first.

0:10:160:10:19

The UK has certainly had

a better end to the year

0:10:190:10:21

than many people expected.

0:10:210:10:24

Employment is high and growth

is picking up, but just

0:10:240:10:29

as the governor warned,

there is this drag on the economy,

0:10:290:10:31

and that at least in part is down

to Brexit uncertainty.

0:10:310:10:35

We talk to businesses who tell us

they're waiting for greater clarity

0:10:350:10:38

about the future before they invest.

0:10:380:10:45

What I'm very clear about is that

as we move forward, and we made very

0:10:450:10:48

good progress in December,

as we move forward in this

0:10:480:10:51

negotiation, we will be able

to start to deliver that clarity.

0:10:510:10:53

It's not all about

Brexit, of course.

0:10:530:10:55

Economies are complicated

things, and we haven't

0:10:550:10:57

reached full velocity.

0:10:570:10:59

That productivity problem,

that income squeeze,

0:10:590:11:05

all way down on our performance.

0:11:050:11:07

I think we've still got

the same problem -

0:11:070:11:09

austerity is rolling on,

the Government hasn't listened,

0:11:090:11:11

that's impacting upon people's wages

as well as the demand overall.

0:11:110:11:14

A lack of investment.

0:11:140:11:15

We've been seeing it for years now.

0:11:150:11:16

We need to scale up investment

in our economy to grow our economy

0:11:160:11:20

and make it more productive.

0:11:200:11:22

The economy is being

fixed, to an extent.

0:11:220:11:24

Manufacturers are doing well.

0:11:240:11:27

Will that optimism now spread

to the rest of Britain?

0:11:270:11:30

Kamal Ahmed, BBC News, Davos.

0:11:300:11:36

NHS England has decided

that its guidance to hospitals

0:11:360:11:38

to postpone all non-urgent surgery

will not be extended

0:11:380:11:40

beyond the end of this month.

0:11:400:11:42

Hospitals had been advised

to defer non-emergency

0:11:420:11:44

operations until mid-January,

which was then extended in a bid

0:11:440:11:46

to free up hospital staff and beds.

0:11:460:11:54

The Defence Secretary's suggestion

that Russia could kill "thousands

0:11:550:11:58

and thousands and thousands"

of people in the UK,

0:11:580:11:59

with an attack on key

infrastructure, has been

0:11:590:12:01

ridiculed in Moscow.

0:12:010:12:04

The Russian Defence Ministry said

Gavin Williamson had "lost his grasp

0:12:040:12:07

on reason" and his comments

were worthy of a

0:12:070:12:09

Monty Python sketch.

0:12:090:12:14

The BBC says it is "grateful" to six

male presenters who have agreed

0:12:140:12:17

to a pay cut after revelations

of pay inequality at

0:12:170:12:20

the corporation emerged.

0:12:200:12:22

The details are still being worked

out but the six are Huw Edwards,

0:12:220:12:25

Nicky Campbell, John Humphrys,

Jon Sopel, Nick Robinson,

0:12:250:12:27

and Jeremy Vine.

0:12:270:12:30

Our media editor, Amol

Rajan is with me now.

0:12:300:12:33

Will this go some way to sorting out

the row over unequal pay?

0:12:330:12:41

Frankly, not so much. The move is

significant, probably inevitable and

0:12:430:12:48

driven by short and long-term

factors. Short-term factors, next

0:12:480:12:52

week the most senior people at the

BBC and Carrie Gracie, who resigned

0:12:520:12:56

as China editor of equal pay, will

be in front of a select committee

0:12:560:13:00

and this was an attempt to get ahead

of that story. The longer term, the

0:13:000:13:05

economics of television. Many of the

people signed their salaries in an

0:13:050:13:10

earlier era when there was more

money washing around and the market

0:13:100:13:12

was more bubbly and people were able

to get the deals. That era has

0:13:120:13:17

vanished and the big money is now in

entertainment rather than news, and

0:13:170:13:22

people getting jobs in News know

they will not get the same sort of

0:13:220:13:25

salaries as previously. Does it

equal eyes pay much? I don't think

0:13:250:13:30

it does. For lots of the ball equal

pay is not about big disparities

0:13:300:13:35

right now but about historic

injustices, accumulated disadvantage

0:13:350:13:38

over the course of a career.

Reducing a fuel high-profile

0:13:380:13:42

salaries might be a loud and

effective gesture but I don't think

0:13:420:13:46

it will address those underlying

issues. -- a few high-profile

0:13:460:13:51

salaries.

0:13:510:13:53

A 15-year-old boy who

crashed a stolen car,

0:13:530:13:55

killing five people,

has been jailed for

0:13:550:13:57

four-and-a-half years.

0:13:570:13:58

The three children and two adults

were passengers in the car when it

0:13:580:14:01

crashed into a tree.

0:14:010:14:02

The family of one of the children

expressed their anger,

0:14:020:14:05

saying the sentence was too short,

as Phil Bodmer reports

0:14:050:14:07

from Leeds Crown Court.

0:14:070:14:12

The faces of three children killed

in a car crash in Leeds last

0:14:120:14:16

November. Ellis was just 12, his

brother was 14, and Darnell was 15.

0:14:160:14:24

They were killed in a stolen car

alongside friends who were both 24.

0:14:240:14:31

The vehicle hit a tree near houses

in Leeds, after the 15-year-old

0:14:310:14:37

driver, who cannot be named, lost

control. The impact split the car in

0:14:370:14:42

two. Today, he was sentenced to four

and a half years in prison.

No words

0:14:420:14:49

can ever describe the pain that we

feel.

Relatives of one of the

0:14:490:14:54

victims said it wasn't enough.

He

will serve two years in prison. It

0:14:540:14:58

will never be long enough, ever.

That is a couple of years for each

0:14:580:15:05

person's life. We have lost one of

our siblings. She has lost both of

0:15:050:15:10

her children.

When police arrived

they say it was a scene of total

0:15:100:15:14

carnage. Today, Leeds Crown Court

heard how witnesses saw the car

0:15:140:15:20

driving erratically on the wrong

side of the road, running red lights

0:15:200:15:22

and travelling up to 88 mph in a 40

mph zone.

It was a truly horrendous

0:15:220:15:31

incident, to lose three children and

two adults in such a significant

0:15:310:15:34

incident. Absolutely horrendous.

Many people affected by it, and no

0:15:340:15:40

sentence will ever compensate for

the loss the families and

0:15:400:15:43

communities of Leeds have felt.

The

court heard that the boy had shown

0:15:430:15:48

remorse, with the judge telling him

that his actions that night will

0:15:480:15:51

shape his life every day from now

on.

0:15:510:15:55

The time is 6:15.

0:15:550:15:56

Our top story this evening:

0:15:560:15:57

Donald Trump has told global finance

leaders that his "America First"

0:15:570:16:00

trade policy does not mean

"America alone".

0:16:000:16:04

And still to come, behind-the-scenes

at the film school where students

0:16:040:16:07

have received ten of this

year's Bafta nominations.

0:16:070:16:11

Coming up on FA Cup

Sportsday on BBC News:

0:16:110:16:13

We're live from Yeovil Town,

where Manchester United

0:16:130:16:15

will be playing tonight.

0:16:150:16:18

And in the rest of the sport,

it was Australia's day

0:16:180:16:20

on Australia Day in Adelaide,

as England's cricketers lost

0:16:200:16:23

the fourth one-day international.

0:16:230:16:26

The number of tower blocks

with the same cladding

0:16:300:16:32

as Grenfell Tower that have now had

it fully replaced is just three.

0:16:320:16:37

That's despite official figures

showing that nearly 300 towers have

0:16:370:16:41

failed fire safety tests

since the disaster in June.

0:16:410:16:45

Some of the replacement delays

are due to disputes over

0:16:450:16:47

who should cover the costs.

0:16:470:16:49

Our North of England

correspondent, Judith Moritz,

0:16:490:16:50

reports from Manchester.

0:16:500:16:53

Matthew Crisp had high expectations

for high-rise living.

0:16:530:16:57

A first-time buyer, he chose this

trendy city centre flat.

0:16:570:17:01

It's just about affordable,

but his monthly bills

0:17:010:17:04

have suddenly trebled.

0:17:040:17:06

His building is clad in the same

material as the Grenfell Tower.

0:17:060:17:10

Residents here have been asked

to pay to make it fire safe,

0:17:100:17:14

but they are refusing.

0:17:140:17:15

It could cost each of them many

thousands of pounds.

0:17:150:17:18

It's not so much about being

prepared to pay it or not,

0:17:180:17:21

it's about being able to afford

paying it or not.

0:17:210:17:23

That increase is huge for me,

and has a huge impact

0:17:230:17:26

on my life, and it's just

for the interim measures.

0:17:260:17:29

If I'm stung with a bill

which is potentially

0:17:290:17:31

tens of thousands of pounds

for the actual re-cladding,

0:17:310:17:34

I really don't know what I will do.

0:17:340:17:37

What's the worst case scenario?

0:17:370:17:38

I may not be able to afford

to carry on living here.

0:17:380:17:41

New figures show that in England,

nearly 300 high-rise buildings

0:17:410:17:45

with the same cladding

as Grenfell Tower

0:17:450:17:47

have failed safety tests.

0:17:470:17:49

98 of those are private

apartment blocks.

0:17:490:17:53

Only three towers, all

council owned, have been

0:17:530:17:55

through the whole process of having

the cladding replaced.

0:17:550:17:59

In some cases, the delay

is because of arguments

0:17:590:18:02

between property managers and flat

owners over who should cover

0:18:020:18:05

the costs, which could run

into millions per building.

0:18:050:18:09

The main issue here is time.

0:18:090:18:11

People are living in unsafe flats.

0:18:110:18:13

And what we do not want

to see is long, long,

0:18:130:18:16

drawn-out legal battles,

which have already started,

0:18:160:18:18

between leaseholders and landlords,

saying who should pay

0:18:180:18:19

and who shouldn't pay, then it

will go to appeal, and so forth.

0:18:190:18:23

We could easily be sitting

here in two to three years' time

0:18:230:18:25

still arguing about this.

0:18:250:18:27

This apartment block in Manchester

has different cladding to the kind

0:18:270:18:30

used at Grenfell Tower,

but since the disaster,

0:18:300:18:34

it too has failed safety tests,

0:18:340:18:36

and residents here are also

being asked to foot the bill.

0:18:360:18:41

The developer has offered short-term

funding so that work to install

0:18:410:18:44

new fire alarms can begin.

0:18:440:18:47

I always said if I was going to buy

a flat, I would buy it here...

0:18:470:18:50

But residents, including

Fay Northcott, are still facing

0:18:500:18:52

the prospect of the costs

being passed to them down the line.

0:18:520:18:56

Fay saved hard to buy a property

in her 20s and says this just

0:18:560:19:00

makes things much harder.

0:19:000:19:03

The incentive to live

in a flat in the city centre

0:19:030:19:05

is diminishing rapidly.

0:19:050:19:07

There is no incentive for you to

live in the city centre any more.

0:19:070:19:11

How would we know that once

this has blown over,

0:19:110:19:14

in April, May, June,

we're going to get another massive

0:19:140:19:16

bill landed on the doorstep?

0:19:160:19:17

There are similar cases

around the country.

0:19:170:19:19

The Government says it wants private

landlords to follow the lead

0:19:190:19:22

of the public sector and not

charge residents to make

0:19:220:19:26

their homes safe from fire.

0:19:260:19:29

Judith Moritz, BBC News, Manchester.

0:19:290:19:33

The pub chain Wetherspoons has

apologised to customers and found

0:19:330:19:36

anoher supplier after it had to take

steaks off the menu.

0:19:360:19:39

The Food Standards Agency

is investigating the Derby-based

0:19:390:19:42

company Russell Hume,

which supplies pub chains

0:19:420:19:44

and hotels, as well as

schools and care homes.

0:19:440:19:49

Our business correspondent

Emma Simpson is here.

0:19:490:19:55

What is the FSC looking at? Galle we

have had a bit more detail today.

0:19:550:20:00

Pressure has steadily been growing

for some answers. This all started

0:20:000:20:04

on Tuesday with Wetherspoons

suspending its popular steak night.

0:20:040:20:10

Its drivers tried to pick up

supplies from Russell Hume and fund

0:20:100:20:12

the gates locked. The country said

there had been mislabelling issues.

0:20:120:20:17

Wetherspoons did not like the sound

of it and immediately with Judy

0:20:170:20:20

steaks. On Wednesday it emerged that

the Food Standards Agency had been

0:20:200:20:24

investigating Russell Hume what it

calls serious noncompliance with

0:20:240:20:29

food hygiene regulations. The

company was forced to halt

0:20:290:20:33

production at its six sites and/or

deliveries were suspended. It was

0:20:330:20:36

also asked to make sure its

customers withdrew unused meat. It

0:20:360:20:43

turns out those customers included a

host of household names, to Jamie --

0:20:430:20:48

from Jamie Oliver to Butlins, pub

chains, Morrisons and Burger King.

0:20:480:20:54

Tonight the FSA said they were

looking at use by dates and whether

0:20:540:20:57

the company had the right food

safety procedures in place. So far

0:20:570:21:01

the company had not been able to

demonstrate this and that is why

0:21:010:21:04

they took this action. But they also

stress there is no indication that

0:21:040:21:09

anyone has become ill from eating

meat supplied by this company.

0:21:090:21:12

Russell Hume said in a statement it

was shocked by the action, it has

0:21:120:21:16

had an unblemished reputation for

over 50 years. It was complying with

0:21:160:21:21

the investigation, which still

continues.

0:21:210:21:23

A court has ruled that a coroner

was wrong to exclude the names

0:21:230:21:27

of the alleged suspects

in a new inquest into

0:21:270:21:29

the Birmingham pub bombings.

0:21:290:21:30

21 people were killed

when two IRA bombs exploded

0:21:300:21:33

more than 40 years ago.

0:21:330:21:36

Sima Kotecha reports.

0:21:360:21:38

1974 - two bombs exploded

in Birmingham city centre,

0:21:380:21:42

killing 21 people.

0:21:420:21:47

Six men were falsely imprisoned

for carrying out the attacks.

0:21:470:21:50

They were later acquitted.

0:21:500:21:52

Those responsible have

never been prosecuted.

0:21:520:21:56

In 2016, it was announced

there would be a new inquest

0:21:560:21:59

into the bombings, but the coroner

ruled out naming the alleged

0:21:590:22:02

suspects in evidence.

0:22:020:22:05

Now a judicial review has ruled

the coroner must think again.

0:22:050:22:10

In court, the Honourable

Mrs Justice Carr said...

0:22:100:22:13

Julie Hambleton's sister, Maxine,

was killed in the attack.

0:22:190:22:24

It is illogical to not

have the perpetrators in scope.

0:22:240:22:27

As such, it is extremely good news.

0:22:270:22:30

However, we now have to wait to see

what the coroner's next decision is.

0:22:300:22:37

This judgment handed down today

is a significant step

0:22:370:22:39

forward for the families.

0:22:390:22:41

However, their fight

is not over yet.

0:22:410:22:44

The coroner will have 21 days

to appeal if he chooses to do so.

0:22:440:22:50

The coroner had argued

it was not his job to point

0:22:500:22:52

the finger of blame.

0:22:520:22:54

Today, a court chose

to disagree with him.

0:22:540:22:57

For those who lost

loved ones in the bombings,

0:22:570:22:59

the fight for justice continues.

0:22:590:23:03

Sima Kotecha, BBC News, Birmingham.

0:23:030:23:09

In just under a month's time,

the winners of this year's

0:23:090:23:12

British Academy Film Awards

will be announced.

0:23:120:23:15

But tonight we can reveal

the recipient of the Award

0:23:150:23:18

for Outstanding Contribution

to British Film.

0:23:180:23:21

And the winner is...

0:23:210:23:23

the National Film

and Television School.

0:23:230:23:26

This year, the school's former

students have received ten

0:23:260:23:28

individual Bafta nominations,

for films including Darkest Hour,

0:23:280:23:32

Star Wars and Blade Runner 2049.

0:23:320:23:35

Just last year, its graduates

were involved in films

0:23:350:23:38

that took £9.1 billion

at the box office worldwide.

0:23:380:23:42

Chi Chi Izundu went to the school

to meet some of the nominees

0:23:420:23:45

and the current students.

0:23:450:23:50

The 1979 release of Alien,

the first film a graduate

0:23:500:23:53

from the National Film

and Television School

0:23:530:23:57

won a BAFTA for.

0:23:570:24:02

Skip forward to 2018 -

studying their craft

0:24:020:24:04

is very hands-on.

0:24:040:24:12

The courses here are so practical

93% of graduates get

0:24:120:24:14

a job in their specialism

within the industry,

0:24:140:24:16

just like Jessica Jones,

who graduated in 2016,

0:24:160:24:19

and is now nominated for a BAFTA

that's part of the music composition

0:24:190:24:26

team for Darkest Hour.

0:24:260:24:27

Lots of people don't know about it,

and it's sort of tucked away

0:24:270:24:31

in the middle of the country and,

yeah, but I think it used to be

0:24:310:24:34

studios so it is definitely the kind

of place where you meet

0:24:340:24:37

lots of different people

and you learn your trade

0:24:370:24:39

and you meet people learning

their craft, so you'll

0:24:390:24:41

meet cinematographers

and producers and editors,

0:24:410:24:43

and I'm still really close

with all those people now.

0:24:430:24:45

Our island,

whatever the cost may be...

0:24:450:24:47

Then there's the alumni.

0:24:470:24:49

The school maintains links

with those working in the industry

0:24:490:24:52

who regularly come back to teach,

like Oscar-winning

0:24:520:24:54

composer Dario Marianelli.

0:24:540:24:57

But I think the uniqueness

of the film school is

0:24:570:25:01

that the composition students

will work alongside the production

0:25:010:25:04

students and the director

students, and the writers.

0:25:040:25:09

Think of every big

British blockbuster,

0:25:090:25:12

from the Harry Potter franchise

right through to the Wallace

0:25:120:25:14

and Gromit animation series.

0:25:140:25:16

This school and its students

have had a hand in it.

0:25:160:25:19

The students even get to learn how

to build a set like this.

0:25:190:25:27

So far, graduates have managed

to scoop ten Oscars and 129 BAFTAs,

0:25:270:25:30

but for the first time the school

itself will be acknowledged

0:25:300:25:33

for its contribution.

0:25:330:25:35

It's not just

film and TV production.

0:25:350:25:41

Gaming, animation and model-making

are also points of pride

0:25:410:25:43

for staff and students.

0:25:430:25:44

To win the Outstanding Contribution

to Cinema Award, it's unbelievable,

0:25:440:25:47

and it's such a vote of confidence

in the school.

0:25:470:25:50

You know, for 47 years we've really

worked hard to provide the people

0:25:500:25:53

of the future of the film,

television and now games industries.

0:25:530:25:58

Britain still attracts

foreign film investment,

0:25:580:26:01

which is largely thanks to the broad

skill base of British movie-makers

0:26:010:26:04

which this school plays

a crucial role in providing.

0:26:040:26:07

Chi Chi Izundu, BBC News,

at the National Film

0:26:070:26:09

and Television School.

0:26:090:26:12

Time for a look at the weather,

here's Lucy Martin.

0:26:130:26:19

Time for a look at the weather,

here's Lucy Martin.

0:26:190:26:19

A lovely day today, how is the

weekend? It certainly was, but

0:26:190:26:24

change this began. We could see --

we did see plenty of blue skies

0:26:240:26:30

today. The West was certainly best.

This one sent in from Morecambe

0:26:300:26:35

babe. But moving into the weekend,

change on the cards, weather France

0:26:350:26:39

working in from the West. They will

bring some milder air, but also some

0:26:390:26:44

outbreaks of rain. Quite windy as

well. As we go through this evening

0:26:440:26:50

and overnight, we will start to see

cloud and outbreaks of rain pushing

0:26:500:26:54

into Scotland, part of western and

north-western England, South West

0:26:540:26:58

England and Wales. In the east with

clearer skies, temperatures falling

0:26:580:27:03

away, 12 pages of mist and fog could

develop. As we go into tomorrow, a

0:27:030:27:08

bright but chilly start in the South

East, any patches of mist and fog

0:27:080:27:12

lifting. The rain fairly heavy in

the North but it will move

0:27:120:27:16

eastwards, behind that, something a

bit brighter feeding in four parts

0:27:160:27:20

of Scotland, Northern Ireland and

northern England. Perhaps thundery

0:27:200:27:24

showers for parts of Scotland. There

will be gales or severe gales in the

0:27:240:27:28

North of Scotland. But temperatures

in the double figures, maximum of 12

0:27:280:27:33

Celsius tomorrow. We will continue

to get milder air from the South

0:27:330:27:39

west. Apart from the far North,

which will be cooler, but with some

0:27:390:27:43

brightness will stop some rain on

Sunday sitting across Scotland and

0:27:430:27:46

Northern Ireland into northern

England. Further South, more cloudy

0:27:460:27:50

but were brighter intervals at time.

Some showers in the West. But we

0:27:500:27:55

could see highs of 14 Celsius by the

time we get to Sunday. So the

0:27:550:27:59

weekend, a change on the way, it

will be mild temperatures mostly in

0:27:590:28:03

double figures. Windy at times,

particularly later on Saturday in

0:28:030:28:07

the far North. There will also be

some rain, particularly on Saturday.

0:28:070:28:11

A reminder of our main story:

0:28:110:28:13

Donald Trump has told global finance

leaders that his "America First"

0:28:130:28:16

trade policy does not mean

"America alone".

0:28:160:28:21

That's all from the BBC News at Six,

so it's goodbye from me,

0:28:210:28:24

and on BBC One, we now join

the BBC's news teams where you are.
