The two British jihadists

captured in Syria.

0:00:050:00:07

Families of their victims call

for them to be tried in court.

0:00:070:00:11

The two men belonged to a group

within so-called IS infamous

0:00:110:00:14

for executing Western hostages.

0:00:140:00:15

The daughter of one

of the victims wants justice.

0:00:150:00:20

If it goes to trial,

I certainly will be there.

0:00:200:00:22

I will look them in the eye and let

them know that I am who I am

0:00:220:00:26

and they have destroyed a big part

of my life.

0:00:260:00:31

But questions now as to where

the two British men could be tried.

0:00:310:00:34

Will they face a court

in the United States?

0:00:340:00:36

Also tonight:

0:00:360:00:37

The EU's chief negotiator warns

the UK to face up to the potential

0:00:370:00:41

consequences of Brexit for Northern

Ireland.

0:00:410:00:44

A UK decision to leave

the single market and to leave

0:00:440:00:48

the customs union would make

border checks unavoidable.

0:00:480:00:54

We investigate whether building

on brownfield sites is the answer

0:00:540:00:57

to Britain's housing crisis.

0:00:570:01:03

And during a spectacular,

if freezing, opening ceremony,

0:01:030:01:05

the Winter Olympics in South Korea

get under way.

0:01:050:01:13

And coming up on Sportsday on BBC

News, we are live at Twickenham

0:01:130:01:16

ahead of this weekend's Six Nations

action where England prepare to take

0:01:160:01:19

on Wales in what could be a defining

match of this year's Championship.

0:01:190:01:22

Good evening and welcome

to the BBC News at Six.

0:01:420:01:44

The families of some of the victims

of two British jihadists belonging

0:01:440:01:47

to the Islamic State group

and captured in Syria,

0:01:470:01:51

have called for them

to face justice in court.

0:01:510:01:53

Alexanda Kotey and El Shafee

Elsheikh were part of a team of four

0:01:530:01:57

British IS members whose British

accents earned them

0:01:570:01:58

the nickname "the Beatles".

0:01:580:02:02

US officials say the group are

accused of executing 27 hostages.

0:02:020:02:05

Bethany Haines, whose father, David,

was one of those hostages,

0:02:050:02:07

has told the BBC the men should be

forced to look in the eyes

0:02:070:02:10

of the people whose

lives they'd destroyed.

0:02:100:02:14

Our Home Affairs correspondent

Daniel Sandford has more.

0:02:140:02:18

They became the most infamous

gang of foreign fighters

0:02:180:02:21

in the self-styled Islamic State,

callous torturers and public

0:02:210:02:25

executioners of hostages.

0:02:250:02:28

Jihadi John, his real name

Mohammed Emwazi, now dead.

0:02:280:02:32

Aine Davis, in prison in Turkey.

0:02:320:02:35

And the two men captured last

month, Alexanda Kotey

0:02:350:02:37

and El Shafee Elsheikh.

0:02:370:02:41

The two were detained

by American-backed

0:02:410:02:43

Syrian Kurd fighters.

0:02:430:02:46

Kotey, the Kurds said today,

was trying to escape into Turkey.

0:02:460:02:51

The gang are suspected

of beheading Alan Henning,

0:02:510:02:54

the driver and aid worker

from Eccles, and David Haines,

0:02:540:02:56

seen here in Croatia,

a former RAF engineer and long-time

0:02:560:03:00

aid worker from Perth.

0:03:000:03:04

This morning, his daughter, Bethany,

was finally contemplating

0:03:040:03:05

what punishment two of his suspected

killers should face.

0:03:050:03:12

They should die a long,

slow, painful death.

0:03:120:03:16

And I think quite a lot of people

will understand that,

0:03:160:03:18

that they shouldn't be

allowed to live.

0:03:180:03:21

But realistically, that's

not going to happen.

0:03:210:03:24

And I have to come

to terms with that.

0:03:240:03:27

And the best thing for them is to be

locked up and throw away the key.

0:03:270:03:31

They should never be

allowed back in society,

0:03:310:03:33

because they will just recruit

people and they will

0:03:330:03:35

just do this again.

0:03:350:03:36

And for the sake of her father,

if they end up in court,

0:03:360:03:39

she will go to watch.

0:03:390:03:40

If it goes to trial,

I will certainly be there,

0:03:400:03:44

I will certainly want to look them

in the eye and let them

0:03:440:03:47

know that I am who I am,

and they have destroyed a big part

0:03:470:03:51

of my life.

0:03:510:03:52

And hopefully there will be

some sort of justice.

0:03:520:03:55

Some of the gang's hostages

were freed, including

0:03:550:03:57

former French reporter,

Nicolas Henin.

0:03:570:04:01

He wants them to have

the fairest trial possible.

0:04:010:04:05

I would not be happy

if they were just sent

0:04:050:04:07

to Guantanamo Bay, because this

is denial of justice.

0:04:070:04:09

If we want justice, we need

to give them the trial

0:04:090:04:12

that would satisfy them,

but also the victims.

0:04:120:04:19

The British men detained last month

are El Shafee Elsheikh,

0:04:190:04:25

who arrived in Syria from Britain

in 2012, and Alexanda Kotey,

0:04:250:04:27

who left the UK on an aid

convoy to Gaza in 2009,

0:04:270:04:30

and also ended up in Syria.

0:04:300:04:36

Their gang is accused by the US

of beheading at least 27 hostages,

0:04:360:04:40

including Alan Henning,

David Haines and Americans

0:04:400:04:44

James Foley, Peter Kassig

and Steven Sotloff.

0:04:440:04:48

They are also accused

of water boarding, mock

0:04:480:04:51

executions, crucifixions

and electric shock torture.

0:04:510:04:58

Alexanda Kotey and El Shafee

Elsheikh grew up close to each other

0:04:580:05:01

in quite a small area of west

London, near to the A40 flyover.

0:05:010:05:04

It became infamous as

an IS recruiting ground.

0:05:040:05:07

As well as Mohammed Emwazi,

Jihadi John, some half a dozen other

0:05:070:05:10

men from these streets died fighting

for IS in either Syria or Iraq.

0:05:100:05:17

At El Shafee Elsheikh's house,

his parents, who had another

0:05:170:05:20

son killed in Syria,

asked the media to leave.

0:05:200:05:24

There's nothing we can say,

no comment whatsoever.

0:05:240:05:26

Please, please, let us be in peace.

0:05:260:05:31

Their son and Alexanda Kotey

have had their British

0:05:310:05:34

citizenship removed already.

0:05:340:05:36

Now a trial, possibly

in the United States,

0:05:360:05:38

seems the most likely outcome.

0:05:380:05:41

Daniel Sandford, BBC News.

0:05:410:05:45

Our Security correspondent

Gordon Corera is here.

0:05:450:05:52

We heard Daniel saying that a trial

in the States is the most likely

0:05:520:05:55

outcome but there are a number of

options.

That's right. A US official

0:05:550:06:01

in the last hour has told me they

are still considering options, so no

0:06:010:06:06

set path yet. It is not entirely

clear that these individuals are

0:06:060:06:11

even in American hands. They may be

in the hands of Kurdish forces that

0:06:110:06:15

captured them in Syria in January.

The Americans were given access to

0:06:150:06:20

them for interrogation and it

appears that important intelligence

0:06:200:06:22

might have been obtained about where

foreign fighters have gone, the

0:06:220:06:26

location of any other Brits. That

will have been the priority until

0:06:260:06:31

yesterday it became public that

these men were being held, which has

0:06:310:06:35

forced the issue of what to do with

them. It looks as if they have not

0:06:350:06:40

yet finally decided whether they

will be put on trial in the US, sent

0:06:400:06:45

to Guantanamo Bay, or somewhere else

for trial. The most likely option

0:06:450:06:49

would be trial in the US but it

seems as if discussions are ongoing

0:06:490:06:54

and British officials are not

commenting on their preferred

0:06:540:06:57

option.

Thank you.

0:06:570:06:58

The EU's chief Brexit negotiatior,

Michel Barnier, has issued

0:06:580:07:00

a stark warning to the UK,

effectively telling the British

0:07:000:07:02

government, "You can't

have your cake and eat it".

0:07:020:07:05

He said the UK's decision to leave

the EU single market and customs

0:07:050:07:08

union meant border checks

at the Irish border

0:07:080:07:10

were "unavoidable", something

both the UK and the EU

0:07:100:07:13

have said would be unacceptable.

0:07:130:07:15

He also warned that without greater

agreement on key issues

0:07:150:07:17

like Northern Ireland,

0:07:170:07:19

the two-year transition period

after Brexit was not a given.

0:07:190:07:22

John Pienaar, reports.

0:07:220:07:30

Brexit is coming and time is running

short. Just 13 months before Britain

0:07:350:07:41

is officially out of the European

Union, and today the EU had a sharp

0:07:410:07:45

warning. Sort out key sticking

points, or there will be no deal and

0:07:450:07:50

no transition. Britain's Brexit

Secretary met the EU chief

0:07:500:07:53

negotiator in Downing Street on

Monday. Friendly enough, but just

0:07:530:07:58

weeks to thrash out the shape of a

Brexit transition. Today in us all

0:07:580:08:02

is, with a big EU summit next month,

Michel Barnier had blunt message in

0:08:020:08:09

terms easy to understand.

If these

disagreements persist, the

0:08:090:08:12

transition is not given.

So much to

sort out, and talks are getting

0:08:120:08:21

prettily. On the rights of migrants

will arrive after Brexit date, will

0:08:210:08:25

Russell 's block trade if Britain

breaks EU rules. The Brexit

0:08:250:08:31

secretary Colback discourteous. Mr

Barney disagreed.

0:08:310:08:33

TRANSLATION:

Throughout these

negotiations, my attitude has not

0:08:330:08:39

been in the least discourteous or

vindictive. We have never wished to

0:08:390:08:46

punish the UK. It is totally foreign

to my state of mind.

And how to

0:08:460:08:51

leave the EU without bringing back a

hard north- south Irish border.

0:08:510:08:55

Nobody wants that at...

It is

important to tell the truth. A UK

0:08:550:09:02

decision to leave the single market

and to leave the customs union would

0:09:020:09:06

make border checks unavoidable.

It

is not just a political problem at

0:09:060:09:12

this shoe shop in Northern Ireland.

These issues are men for walking, on

0:09:120:09:17

both sides of the border. Customs

and tariffs could mean a business

0:09:170:09:21

like this running into trouble.

We

need easy access from the factory to

0:09:210:09:27

our shop floor. If there is a hard

border, there will be hold-ups all

0:09:270:09:31

the way along that we cannot

predict.

But the unionist party

0:09:310:09:36

shoring up the government in

Parliament says that when Britain

0:09:360:09:40

leads the customs union, Northern

Ireland must leave, too.

The bottom

0:09:400:09:44

line is that Northern Ireland will

leave the European Union with the

0:09:440:09:48

rest of the United Kingdom. We would

not countenance a situation where

0:09:480:09:52

there would either be political

constitutional barriers within the

0:09:520:09:59

United Kingdom, and economic

barriers within the United Kingdom

0:09:590:10:02

internal market would be

catastrophic for Northern Ireland.

0:10:020:10:07

Brexiteer Tories say ministers

should take warnings from Brussels

0:10:070:10:10

in their stride and not give ground

on the way out of the EU.

We will

0:10:100:10:15

not accept that we become rule

takers from the EU when we have no

0:10:150:10:19

say over it. Yes, business wants

certainty and to know they have time

0:10:190:10:24

to get ready for things like customs

changes. That is what the

0:10:240:10:28

implementation period is about. It

is not about having the EU dictate

0:10:280:10:31

to us in a way that would be

unacceptable to us and to businesses

0:10:310:10:35

as well.

Tonight, the Brexit

secretary is saying he is surprised

0:10:350:10:41

that Mr Barnier is not clear that

Britain wants to go on trading as

0:10:410:10:45

now during a transition. The

government is hoping for compromise

0:10:450:10:48

in negotiations, but if there is no

transition deal next month,

0:10:480:10:52

ministers will have to prepare

Britain and British business for the

0:10:520:10:55

possibility of a cliff edge Brexit.

If there is a transition deal it is

0:10:550:11:00

on to deciding the ambitions for

Brexit, which divide Parliament,

0:11:000:11:05

Tory MPs and the Cabinet. One day,

one crisis after time.

0:11:050:11:09

Joining me is our Europe

correspondent Adam Fleming.

0:11:090:11:12

Is this just about Brussels trying

to flex their muscles in the latest

0:11:120:11:15

stage of the negotiations?

0:11:150:11:21

Michel Barnier says the same thing

every time. When he stands at the

0:11:210:11:26

podium in there, he is not

conducting negotiations. Except we

0:11:260:11:29

know that he is, a bit. Some of this

is tactical, but he is also saying

0:11:290:11:35

things that the EU feels deeply and

fundamentally. That boils down to

0:11:350:11:40

two things. One, you don't mess with

the single market, the rules are the

0:11:400:11:44

walls. Two, the EU does not want the

UK on the outside that has a big

0:11:440:11:50

influence on the inside. David Davis

says it is OK for the EU to defend

0:11:500:11:55

its own interests but Britain has to

be allowed to do the same. And the

0:11:550:11:59

Brexit talks are all about finding a

compromise between those points of

0:11:590:12:04

view. That is the philosophical

staff. The practical stuff we

0:12:040:12:08

learned today is that the transition

period is not going to be waved

0:12:080:12:12

through without any disagreements,

and the Northern Irishman order

0:12:120:12:16

issue has been parked, not solved

for good.

Thank you.

0:12:160:12:20

Can the UK build the houses it

needs without developing

0:12:200:12:23

on the green belt?

0:12:230:12:24

There have long been

calls to build new homes

0:12:240:12:26

on brownfield sites first,

land that's been used

0:12:260:12:28

for construction before and may be

contaminated by chemicals.

0:12:280:12:30

But they are often less

attractive to developers.

0:12:300:12:32

In Greater Manchester,

where there have been numerous

0:12:320:12:34

protests against green belt

development, the mayor has announced

0:12:340:12:36

he'll use his powers to encourage

building on brownfield sites.

0:12:360:12:40

But is it the answer?

0:12:400:12:42

Mark Easton reports.

0:12:420:12:46

Could the old mill towns

of Greater Manchester hold

0:12:460:12:48

the answer to the housing crisis?

0:12:480:12:52

Places like Stalybridge,

where the industrial revolution took

0:12:520:12:53

root along the banks of the River

Tain.

0:12:530:12:57

Instead of building on precious

green belt, why not use brownfield

0:12:570:13:00

sites in struggling town centres?

0:13:000:13:06

Greater Manchester's Mayor,

Andy Burnham, was elected

0:13:060:13:08

on a promise to protect the green

belt and now plans to promote

0:13:080:13:11

brownfield hotspots

in six rundown towns.

0:13:110:13:15

We have had an approach where it has

been developer led greenfield first,

0:13:150:13:20

because it has been easier

for developers to go over

0:13:200:13:22

there and I am saying, no,

let's come back to our town centres,

0:13:220:13:26

breathe new life into them

and build higher density

0:13:260:13:28

residential development there.

0:13:280:13:33

Among sites identified

in Stalybridge, the former police

0:13:330:13:35

station, an old pub,

the Pineapple Inn and what

0:13:350:13:37

was once a local shop.

0:13:370:13:41

The plan is to turn these plots

into luxury flats aimed at young

0:13:410:13:45

professionals who can

afford market prices.

0:13:450:13:49

Some are already under construction,

build to rent apartments

0:13:490:13:52

with a coffee shop and gym,

Friends-style loft living

0:13:520:13:56

on the site of what was once

an 18th-century woollen mill.

0:13:560:14:00

Jasmine and Josh will be

moving in this summer.

0:14:000:14:04

It is our first home together, so...

0:14:040:14:08

This is the perfect thing.

0:14:080:14:10

It is brand-new, it is modern,

it is a big step for us.

0:14:100:14:13

And we are really excited.

0:14:130:14:17

In some cases, housing associations

will sell the luxury homes and use

0:14:170:14:20

the profits for building social

and affordable homes elsewhere.

0:14:200:14:24

Not everyone is convinced.

0:14:240:14:29

I will believe it when I see it.

0:14:290:14:31

At the end of the day,

it is basically a slap in the face.

0:14:310:14:34

I mean, on average, they want

about 600 pounds per calendar

0:14:340:14:37

month, I am on half that.

0:14:370:14:38

Working-class mill town,

no one can afford things like that.

0:14:380:14:41

The focus on brownfield sites

is politically popular,

0:14:410:14:47

but small projects in rundown town

centres are not going to be that

0:14:470:14:51

attractive to investors

and even if every scrap of land

0:14:510:14:54

was used to its full potential,

the brownfield land register shows

0:14:540:15:00

there is not nearly enough of it

to fulfil Greater

0:15:000:15:02

Manchester's housing needs.

0:15:020:15:05

The brownfield register has

identified a number of sites

0:15:050:15:07

in Stalybridge and almost 1250

in Greater Manchester,

0:15:070:15:11

which could be used for housing,

with a maximum capacity of just

0:15:110:15:14

over 100,000 homes.

0:15:140:15:17

But, Greater Manchester needs more

than 227,000 homes to meet demand.

0:15:170:15:23

Brownfield does not

even get halfway there.

0:15:230:15:27

Are you not deluding people, though,

who believe that we can

0:15:270:15:30

solve the housing crisis

simply using brownfield?

0:15:300:15:32

You can't!

0:15:320:15:33

And I would accept that.

0:15:330:15:35

This is not about saying,

no, we will never build

0:15:350:15:37

on anywhere green again,

but it is about saying, look,

0:15:370:15:39

start with our towns,

so that we minimise the take

0:15:390:15:42

from the green belt.

0:15:420:15:47

There are controversial plans

to build homes on Sidebottom Fold,

0:15:470:15:49

green belt on the edge

of Stalybridge, but when it comes

0:15:490:15:53

to the general claim that brown

should be the new green,

0:15:530:15:56

here, as in elsewhere,

the numbers do not quite add up.

0:15:560:15:59

Mark Easton, BBC News, Stalybridge.

0:15:590:16:07

Our top story this evening.

0:16:090:16:12

The families of victims of two

British, Islamic State Jihadists,

0:16:120:16:15

captured in Syria, call for them

to be brought to trial.

0:16:150:16:18

And still to come, the world's

most famous dinosaur,

0:16:180:16:21

Dippy the Diplodocus,

goes on tour.

0:16:210:16:22

First stop the Jurassic coast.

0:16:220:16:30

Coming up in sports day, we are

alive at Twickenham where old foes

0:16:310:16:36

prepare to reunite as England take

on Wales in what could be a crucial

0:16:360:16:40

match in the 6 Nations Championship.

0:16:400:16:48

An elaborate opening ceremony

for the Winter Olympics has been

0:16:480:16:50

taking place in South Korea.

0:16:500:16:52

Among those attending

was the sister of the North Korean

0:16:520:16:54

leader, Kim Jong Un.

0:16:540:16:56

She's part of the most senior

North Korean delegation

0:16:560:16:58

ever to visit the South.

0:16:580:17:01

The British team is hoping

to win ten medals as our

0:17:010:17:03

Seoul Correspondent,

Laura Bicker, reports

0:17:030:17:04

from Pyeongchang.

0:17:040:17:06

Korea!

0:17:060:17:08

These athletes have been divided

by a war that never truly ended.

0:17:080:17:13

They carry the flag

of a unified Korea.

0:17:130:17:15

And in one stadium for one night

decades of rising tension

0:17:150:17:18

and suspicion ebbed away.

0:17:180:17:26

In the VIP box a moment most

thought they'd never see.

0:17:270:17:30

A member of the Kim dynasty,

the sister of the North Korean

0:17:300:17:33

leader, shaking hands

with the South Korean president.

0:17:330:17:38

The arrival of Kim Yo-jung has

surprised this tiny town just miles

0:17:380:17:41

from the militarised border.

0:17:410:17:45

It is nice to have the high-level

delegates from the North and it also

0:17:450:17:49

feels strange and wondrous.

0:17:490:17:50

I have never seen a North Korean.

0:17:500:17:54

Of course I welcome them but I don't

know why the South Korean government

0:17:540:17:58

is bending over backwards

to appease them.

0:17:580:18:00

I don't like seeing

the South serving the North.

0:18:000:18:03

My heart is melting.

0:18:030:18:05

The South and North have been

divided and now it feels

0:18:050:18:08

peace is coming to us.

0:18:080:18:11

But America is beginning to wonder

whose side South Korea is on.

0:18:110:18:14

The only moment the US

Vice President looked comfortable

0:18:140:18:16

was when he welcomed his team.

0:18:160:18:20

He refused to acknowledge

the North Korean guests behind him.

0:18:200:18:27

It's a note of caution many

in the diplomatic community share.

0:18:270:18:30

There's a real sense of pragmatism.

0:18:300:18:31

Nobody is over optimistic

because we have seen too many

0:18:310:18:34

false starts before.

0:18:340:18:35

But, of course, we all hope

that this will turn out for the good

0:18:350:18:38

and that Pyeongchang Winter Olympics

will be remembered

0:18:380:18:40

as the Peace Olympics.

0:18:400:18:44

The political drama has loomed

over these mountains,

0:18:440:18:46

but soon attention will turn

to the sport and the medal

0:18:460:18:53

hopes of thousands.

0:18:530:18:54

And we welcome Great Britain!

0:18:540:18:55

Team GB is aiming for its most

successful Winter Games,

0:18:550:18:57

with a medal target of five or more.

0:18:570:19:00

A challenge in this frigid climate.

0:19:000:19:03

But some didn't seem

to mind the cold.

0:19:030:19:05

As many in the crowd bundled up

in their heated seats they gave

0:19:050:19:09

a warm welcome to the bare-chested

flag bearer from Tonga.

0:19:090:19:15

The dazzling displays

were full of symbolism,

0:19:150:19:19

but there's one team

above all others that represent

0:19:190:19:21

the hopes of this peninsular.

0:19:210:19:25

The joint Korean ice hockey team had

a controversial start -

0:19:250:19:29

players from the North had to be

integrated into the squad,

0:19:290:19:32

forcing players from the South out.

0:19:320:19:36

But the two sides now

appear to have bonded.

0:19:360:19:39

Looking at the bigger picture,

I think that this is a very

0:19:390:19:41

important moment in history

and I think that it's

0:19:410:19:44

a privilege to be a part of it.

0:19:440:19:46

I'm happy about it so I think that

everyone is just embracing it.

0:19:460:19:50

And so, to the moment of truth.

0:19:500:19:53

As ice skating gold medalist

Yuna Kim lights the flame,

0:19:530:19:56

South Korea has challenges ahead,

including fears that it's fallen

0:19:560:20:01

victim to a fake charm

offensive from the North.

0:20:010:20:07

This is a public relations coup

for North Korea to have its athletes

0:20:070:20:10

appear on this global stage.

0:20:100:20:14

It gives what's been an isolated

regime a human face,

0:20:140:20:17

but critics also fear it will allow

them to portray this

0:20:170:20:19

image of a normal,

peace-loving nuclear power.

0:20:190:20:25

As with all shows, this one

must come to an end.

0:20:250:20:28

The Olympic flame will only burn

in Pyeongchang for two weeks.

0:20:280:20:33

It will take more than warm sporting

gestures to lead to permanent change

0:20:330:20:36

on this Korean peninsular.

0:20:360:20:37

Laura Bicker, BBC News, Peongchang.

0:20:370:20:44

The charity Oxfam has denied

allegations it covered up the use

0:20:440:20:47

of prostitutes by its aid

workers in Haiti.

0:20:470:20:50

Responding to a report

in The Times newspaper,

0:20:500:20:52

the charity admitted

that the behaviour of some

0:20:520:20:54

of its staff had been

"totally unacceptable".

0:20:540:20:56

But Oxfam said it had publicly

announced an investigation

0:20:560:20:58

into the allegations

when they surfaced in 2011.

0:20:580:21:00

Sarah Campbell is here ,

just fill us in on the background

0:21:000:21:03

to this first of all.

0:21:030:21:09

Fill us in on the background. This

happened following the earthquake in

0:21:090:21:14

Haiti. 200,000 people died and more

than a million were made homeless

0:21:140:21:19

and Oxfam was brought in to try and

help the population recover and

0:21:190:21:23

British people donated millions of

pounds. It is the conduct of their

0:21:230:21:26

staff that has been the subject of

the investigation by the The Times

0:21:260:21:31

and the newspaper alleges that there

were sex party 's Oxfam workers

0:21:310:21:36

invited young prostitutes to

guesthouses, including, according to

0:21:360:21:40

one source, underage girls. Oxfam

has confirmed there was an

0:21:400:21:47

investigation at the time and there

is no question that prostitutes were

0:21:470:21:51

used, but the use of underage girls

was not proven. The director

0:21:510:21:56

resigned and did not face

disciplinary action and two others

0:21:560:21:58

were also allowed to resign and four

members of staff were dismissed. The

0:21:580:22:03

charity says the investigation was

made public that the time, and they

0:22:030:22:06

did not involve or informed the

police in Haiti even though

0:22:060:22:10

prostitution is illegal in the

country. Oxfam say they reported it

0:22:100:22:14

to the Charity Commission and the

response today is interesting, they

0:22:140:22:17

said that they had not been aware of

the precise

0:22:170:22:25

the precise allegations and did not

see a final copy of the Oxfam report

0:22:260:22:29

and in the last hour, but Culture

Secretary said these allegations are

0:22:290:22:31

deeply shocking and Oxfam must now

provide the Charity Commission with

0:22:310:22:34

all the evidence they hold of the

events that happened as a matter of

0:22:340:22:38

urgency.

Sarah, thank you.

0:22:380:22:49

Toxicology reports submitted to a

pre-inquest hearing suggest the men

0:22:500:22:53

had taken and naturally occurring

steroid often used by body-builders.

0:22:530:22:58

The men were shot dead by police

minutes after the van and knife

0:22:580:23:02

attacks last June.

0:23:020:23:04

The owner of the Daily Mirror has

agreed to buy the Express and Star

0:23:040:23:08

newspapers as well as OK magazine

in a deal worth 127 million pounds.

0:23:080:23:11

Newspaper circulation

continues to fall.

0:23:110:23:12

The company Trinity Mirror

says it will be able

0:23:120:23:14

to save money by sharing content

and reducing duplication.

0:23:140:23:19

Now here's one thing you don't

expect to find in the post -

0:23:190:23:22

this two-month old tiger cub,

which had been packed into a plastic

0:23:220:23:25

container and mailed

to an address in Mexico.

0:23:250:23:29

The package was detected when a dog,

which was searching

0:23:290:23:31

for contraband, sniffed it out.

0:23:310:23:34

The cub was taken an animal

management centre,

0:23:340:23:38

and is reported to be "dehydrated

but otherwise well".

0:23:380:23:43

He was the star who greeted visitors

to the Natural History Museum

0:23:430:23:46

in London for over a century,

but last year the skeleton cast

0:23:460:23:49

of Dippy the Diplodocus was removed

from the museum's entrance hall

0:23:490:23:51

to make way for Hope the Blue Whale.

0:23:510:23:56

Now Dippy is on the road,

visiting all four Home Nations.

0:23:560:23:59

His first stop until May

is the Dorset County

0:23:590:24:01

Museum in Dorchester.

0:24:010:24:02

Our Correspondent,

Duncan Kennedy, is there.

0:24:020:24:06

Duncan.

Fiona, with all these lights

and music tonight, it is no wonder

0:24:060:24:16

they have called Dippy, the rock

star dinosaur and like any other

0:24:160:24:22

self-respecting rock star, he is

going on a nationwide tour, starting

0:24:220:24:26

tonight here in Dorchester. It is

incredible to think that in all his

0:24:260:24:31

130 near history, it he has never

been seen outside London before.

0:24:310:24:38

It's taken about 150

million years...

0:24:380:24:40

Dippy is here.

0:24:400:24:41

I think we're in business!

0:24:410:24:42

..and five days to bring Dippy

the dinosaur to Dorset.

0:24:420:24:50

OK, Dippy's 292 bones may be

made out of plaster,

0:24:530:24:57

but this iconic replica of a real

diplodocus is still palaeontology

0:24:570:24:59

perfection right up to his head.

0:24:590:25:07

Hurray!

0:25:070:25:08

A nice moment.

0:25:080:25:09

It was touch and go

as to whether it would fit in,

0:25:090:25:12

but it's absolutely perfect,

so I'm happy.

0:25:120:25:14

Dippy has been called

the People's Dinosaur,

0:25:140:25:16

105 feet of prehistoric inspiration.

0:25:160:25:21

Wow!

0:25:210:25:22

Wow!

0:25:220:25:24

No wonder these slightly younger

visitors were wowed today.

0:25:240:25:28

What's the best bit about him?

0:25:280:25:30

His tail, because it can

whack people around.

0:25:300:25:34

What's so great about Dippy?

0:25:340:25:37

That he's ginormous.

0:25:370:25:38

He's massive, isn't he?

0:25:380:25:40

Dippy was in the Natural

History Museum since 1905,

0:25:400:25:42

but the museum decided it was time

for change and to reconstruct

0:25:420:25:45

him outside London.

0:25:450:25:50

Now that he is assembled

he is embarking on a huge

0:25:500:25:53

nationwide tour of England,

Scotland and Wales.

0:25:530:25:57

They reckon that over the course

of the next three years

0:25:570:25:59

about five million people

will engage with this project.

0:25:590:26:04

And where better for Dippy's first

stop than Dorset's Jurassic Coast?

0:26:040:26:09

If Dippy was going to choose to go

somewhere he'd probably

0:26:090:26:12

want to choose to come

the Jurassic Coast to find out

0:26:120:26:14

all about the fossils

and all the other creatures living

0:26:140:26:17

in what is now the British Isles at

around the time that he was roaming

0:26:170:26:20

what is now Wyoming in America.

0:26:200:26:24

Wherever Dippy goes,

it will be free to see him.

0:26:240:26:26

A chance for older visitors

to relive childhood memories,

0:26:260:26:29

and for younger ones to create some.

0:26:290:26:31

Duncan Kennedy, BBC

News, in Dorchester.

0:26:310:26:39

Time for a look at the weather.

0:26:400:26:42

Here's Louise Lear.

0:26:420:26:42

Here's Louise Lear.

0:26:420:26:47

To weather watcher pictures that

illustrate the story for today, a

0:26:470:26:53

rather soggy scene in Norfolk. Large

puddles due to the intense rainfall

0:26:530:26:57

and further north and west, we have

the best of the Sunshine but it has

0:26:570:27:02

been cold and any snow showers have

tended to settle. As we go through

0:27:020:27:06

the night, we see this bump in the

ice bars, a quiet start to the

0:27:060:27:12

night, cold and frosty before cloud

and rain gathers in from the West.

0:27:120:27:17

Here are the first signs of this,

some snow at low levels in Scotland

0:27:170:27:23

and Northern Ireland and north-west

England, clear skies in these, the

0:27:230:27:27

blue tones denote temperatures

falling below freezing. For some, a

0:27:270:27:30

cold and frosty start but for

others, snow will be an issue.

0:27:300:27:36

Between five and ten centimetres

falling in parts of Scotland and icy

0:27:360:27:40

stretches here. I've around and

isolated snow showers in the

0:27:400:27:45

north-west of England but it is rain

through north-west England and that

0:27:450:27:48

rain will pep up as we go through

the morning and also stay with you

0:27:480:27:53

for the afternoon. Cloud and rain

gathers and moves steadily east

0:27:530:27:57

taking its time to arrive in London

and perhaps we will see brighter

0:27:570:28:00

skies in the far north of Scotland

by the end of the afternoon. It is

0:28:000:28:04

pretty dismal elsewhere. As we move

out of Saturday, it is worth

0:28:040:28:09

pointing out that the isobars are

pulling together. Gales in

0:28:090:28:16

north-west England, a scattering of

wintry showers look set to be the

0:28:160:28:19

story for much of Sunday. A cold day

on Sunday, in the central and

0:28:190:28:25

eastern areas, they will see the

best of the sunshine, and there will

0:28:250:28:30

be snow showers settling at low

levels and it will feel pretty cold

0:28:300:28:32

indeed. That is it, whatever you do,

enjoy your weekend.

0:28:320:28:36

indeed. That is it, whatever you do,

enjoy your weekend.

0:28:360:28:38

A reminder of our main story.

0:28:380:28:42

Relatives of some of the victims of

the two British Islamic State group

0:28:420:28:47

jihadist is captured in Syria call

for them to be brought to trial.

0:28:470:28:50

That's all from the BBC News at Six,

so it's goodbye from me -
