The army on the streets
of Salisbury, as specialist officers | 0:00:03 | 0:00:05 | |
arrive to deal with the scene
of the nerve agent attack. | 0:00:05 | 0:00:10 | |
Military equipment and personnel
trained in chemical warfare make | 0:00:10 | 0:00:12 | |
an unusual sight in the market town. | 0:00:12 | 0:00:17 | |
They have the detection equipment
that will allow them to properly, | 0:00:17 | 0:00:20 | |
safely and very detailed survey
of those areas, and if there is any | 0:00:20 | 0:00:24 | |
contamination, they can then safely
remove that and have it destroyed. | 0:00:24 | 0:00:30 | |
The people of Salisbury
are urged to stay calm. | 0:00:30 | 0:00:32 | |
The former Russian spy and his
daughter are still critically ill. | 0:00:32 | 0:00:35 | |
Also tonight: | 0:00:35 | 0:00:37 | |
After the insults, a surprise
meeting is to take place | 0:00:37 | 0:00:40 | |
between President Trump
and the leader of North Korea. | 0:00:40 | 0:00:44 | |
Britain close to signing

And coming up on Six Nations
Sportsday on BBC News, | 0:01:06 | 0:01:08 | |
we're live in Dublin to preview
the penultimate round | 0:01:08 | 0:01:10 | |
of the tournament. | 0:01:10 | 0:01:11 | |
Ireland are still on for
a Grand Slam and play | 0:01:11 | 0:01:14 | |
a resurgent Scotland. | 0:01:14 | 0:01:17 | |
Good evening and welcome
to the BBC News at Six. | 0:01:36 | 0:01:38 | |
People in Salisbury have been urged
not be alarmed at the sight | 0:01:38 | 0:01:41 | |
of the army on the streets, as just
under 200 military personnel have | 0:01:41 | 0:01:44 | |
arrived in the town. | 0:01:44 | 0:01:46 | |
Specialist officers,
with training in chemical warfare, | 0:01:46 | 0:01:49 | |
will be working in the area
where the former Russian agent | 0:01:49 | 0:01:52 | |
Sergei Skripal and his daughter
Yulia collapsed on Sunday. | 0:01:52 | 0:02:00 | |
Tom Symonds reports from Salisbury. | 0:02:00 | 0:02:08 | |
Five days after unprotected police
officers, paramedics and passers-by | 0:02:09 | 0:02:13 | |
came into close contact with a
chemical weapon, the military | 0:02:13 | 0:02:17 | |
arrived at Salisbury Hospital. The
mission, to recover evidence. At the | 0:02:17 | 0:02:22 | |
hospital, they were taking away a
car. They are also expected to | 0:02:22 | 0:02:27 | |
secure Sergei Skripal's car, and
there are ambulances which may have | 0:02:27 | 0:02:30 | |
traces of the nerve agent used in
the attempt on his life. The | 0:02:30 | 0:02:36 | |
military will cod in the area,
probably in protective equipment. | 0:02:36 | 0:02:41 | |
They have detection equipment that
will allow them to properly, safely | 0:02:41 | 0:02:45 | |
do a detailed survey of the areas
and if there is any contamination | 0:02:45 | 0:02:49 | |
they can safely remove that and have
it destroyed. Tonight, renewed | 0:02:49 | 0:02:55 | |
police activity at the grave of
Sergei Skripal's son, Alexander, who | 0:02:55 | 0:02:58 | |
died last year. It has been
suggested his body may be exhumed. | 0:02:58 | 0:03:04 | |
The Home Secretary was the first
senior government representative to | 0:03:04 | 0:03:09 | |
visit Salisbury this morning.
Ministers have stressed the | 0:03:09 | 0:03:12 | |
importance of getting to the bottom
of the alleged plot before pointing | 0:03:12 | 0:03:15 | |
fingers. Give us time, Amber Rudd
said. She met and praised those who | 0:03:15 | 0:03:21 | |
have helped victims and
decontaminated the area, including | 0:03:21 | 0:03:23 | |
firefighters. I am in their
sympathetic approach and | 0:03:23 | 0:03:29 | |
professionalism as they engage with
these people. And now as they | 0:03:29 | 0:03:33 | |
reflect, they are concerned
sometimes for themselves and their | 0:03:33 | 0:03:36 | |
families but they have all said to
me that they would not have done | 0:03:36 | 0:03:40 | |
anything differently. And then to
the hospital continuing to provide | 0:03:40 | 0:03:43 | |
the highest level of care to the
victims. Detective Sergeant Nick | 0:03:43 | 0:03:48 | |
Bailey, exposed to nerve agent
during the incident, is making good | 0:03:48 | 0:03:53 | |
progress. His friends await news.
Always really easy to speak to, to | 0:03:53 | 0:03:59 | |
get hold of, always delivers. And he
delivers it effectively and | 0:03:59 | 0:04:04 | |
efficiently. He always has a sense
of humour around him. He does it | 0:04:04 | 0:04:08 | |
easily and nothing is ever too much
trouble for him. Sergei Skripal | 0:04:08 | 0:04:13 | |
remains in critical condition, his
daughter, Yulia, the same, but | 0:04:13 | 0:04:17 | |
responding better to treatment. The
investigation has become part of | 0:04:17 | 0:04:21 | |
life in central Salisbury. Everybody
is scared a little bit. Hopefully | 0:04:21 | 0:04:28 | |
everything is all right in the next
couple of days. Your T-shirt says it | 0:04:28 | 0:04:32 | |
all. Calm is exactly how people have
remained. Why you concerned? No, | 0:04:32 | 0:04:42 | |
otherwise I wouldn't be here and I
certainly would not bring my son. | 0:04:42 | 0:04:45 | |
Some warrior that Salisbury will
become known for this shocking | 0:04:45 | 0:04:48 | |
event, but life will move on. --
some people worry. It will always be | 0:04:48 | 0:04:55 | |
there but the town, the city, there
are some much loved here, I don't | 0:04:55 | 0:04:58 | |
think that would happen. For now, at
least, central Salisbury remains the | 0:04:58 | 0:05:04 | |
scene of a crime reverberating
around the world. | 0:05:04 | 0:05:07 | |
And Tom is in Salisbury now. | 0:05:07 | 0:05:09 | |
What can people there expect
to see over the next few | 0:05:09 | 0:05:11 | |
days, or is it weeks? | 0:05:11 | 0:05:15 | |
Well, I think it is going to go on
and on. This has been escalating | 0:05:15 | 0:05:20 | |
since the incident on Sunday
evening. Counter-terrorism officers | 0:05:20 | 0:05:24 | |
have been brought in, confirmation
of the use of a nerve agent. And | 0:05:24 | 0:05:28 | |
right now, the military on the
streets and the hospital campus, | 0:05:28 | 0:05:32 | |
where I can see on the other side,
they are covering a police car that | 0:05:32 | 0:05:37 | |
has been at the hospital since
Sunday. We believe that is a police | 0:05:37 | 0:05:42 | |
car that was driven to the hospital
after the incident and which may be | 0:05:42 | 0:05:46 | |
contaminated. I say we believe,
because unusually in this case, very | 0:05:46 | 0:05:51 | |
little is being confirmed by
counter-terrorism officers running | 0:05:51 | 0:05:54 | |
the investigation. Amber Rudd said,
give us space, we will get to the | 0:05:54 | 0:05:59 | |
bottom of this, and we will find the
facts. It is important that they do | 0:05:59 | 0:06:04 | |
because there are huge international
implications if this is some sort of | 0:06:04 | 0:06:07 | |
a plot to kill a Russian dissident.
We know where that leads. Thank you. | 0:06:07 | 0:06:13 | |
The "old dotard" is to meet
"little rocket man". | 0:06:13 | 0:06:15 | |
President Trump says
he'll hold talks with | 0:06:15 | 0:06:17 | |
North Korea's Kim Jong Un,
in an historic meeting | 0:06:17 | 0:06:19 | |
between the two leaders. | 0:06:19 | 0:06:21 | |
The apparent breakthrough took
the US by surprise and comes | 0:06:21 | 0:06:24 | |
after months of growing tension,
in which the two men | 0:06:24 | 0:06:26 | |
have traded insults. | 0:06:26 | 0:06:27 | |
South Korean officials,
who have brokered the talks, | 0:06:27 | 0:06:29 | |
describe it as a miracle,
and say the North is now committed | 0:06:29 | 0:06:32 | |
to denuclearisation and has
promised to halt all nuclear | 0:06:32 | 0:06:34 | |
and missile tests. | 0:06:34 | 0:06:36 | |
Nick Bryant has more. | 0:06:36 | 0:06:44 | |
Last night, the White House felt
more like the Twilight zone, Donald | 0:06:44 | 0:06:52 | |
Trump slipping into the press
briefing room unannounced to tell | 0:06:52 | 0:06:55 | |
reporters to expect a major
announcement. And then out from the | 0:06:55 | 0:07:00 | |
West Wing came a delegation from
South Korea, to make one of the most | 0:07:00 | 0:07:03 | |
stunning diplomatic statements in
decades, after delivering to Donald | 0:07:03 | 0:07:08 | |
Trump a message from Kim Jong Un. He
expressed his eagerness to meet | 0:07:08 | 0:07:14 | |
President Trump as soon as possible.
President Trump appreciated the | 0:07:14 | 0:07:18 | |
briefing and said he would meet Kim
Jong Un by May. To achieve permanent | 0:07:18 | 0:07:25 | |
denuclearisation. Prior to arriving
in Washington, they held a meeting | 0:07:25 | 0:07:32 | |
in Pyongyang, with Kim Jong Un of --
offering a warm hand of friendship, | 0:07:32 | 0:07:37 | |
rather than rattling his usual
saver. And on state TV, the | 0:07:37 | 0:07:44 | |
schmaltzy soundtrack doubled as
diplomatic mood music as the North | 0:07:44 | 0:07:48 | |
Korean leader offered to abandon his
nuclear arsenal in return for | 0:07:48 | 0:07:51 | |
security guarantees from the United
States. Then came the sentimental | 0:07:51 | 0:07:55 | |
farewell, Kim Jong Un sending them
off not just with a wave but an | 0:07:55 | 0:08:00 | |
invitation to Mr Trump, the most
improbable overture. Donald Trump | 0:08:00 | 0:08:06 | |
gave his response on Twitter. | 0:08:06 | 0:08:12 | |
The White House claims his tough
talk has worked. They will be met | 0:08:16 | 0:08:20 | |
with fire and fury like the world
has never seen. Rocket man is on a | 0:08:20 | 0:08:29 | |
suicide mission for himself and for
his regime. Washington has been in a | 0:08:29 | 0:08:35 | |
whirlwind, taken by surprise.
Shortly before the shock | 0:08:35 | 0:08:39 | |
announcement, America's chief
diplomat ruled out direct talks with | 0:08:39 | 0:08:43 | |
Pyongyang. In terms of direct talks
with the United States and US | 0:08:43 | 0:08:48 | |
negotiations, we are a long way from
negotiations. This gamble offers | 0:08:48 | 0:08:53 | |
Yong Eun Yang a propaganda coup
without much the dramatic groundwork | 0:08:53 | 0:08:57 | |
and without a guarantee of success.
-- Pyongyang. But President Trump's | 0:08:57 | 0:09:04 | |
predecessors have failed to hold
North Korea's nuclear programme, so | 0:09:04 | 0:09:07 | |
perhaps it is worth this dramatic
new gesture. Two combustible leaders | 0:09:07 | 0:09:11 | |
dealing with potentially the world's
most combustible problem. Diplomacy | 0:09:11 | 0:09:15 | |
like a Las Vegas title fight, the
international summit of the century. | 0:09:15 | 0:09:21 | |
As we heard there, today's
announcement follows | 0:09:21 | 0:09:23 | |
something of a thawing of relations
between North and South Korea, | 0:09:23 | 0:09:26 | |
that saw them march under a single
flag at the Winter Olympics. | 0:09:26 | 0:09:29 | |
The South Korean President,
Moon Jae-in, described the planned | 0:09:29 | 0:09:31 | |
meeting with its unpredictable
and heavily armed neighbour | 0:09:31 | 0:09:33 | |
as a milestone for peace. | 0:09:33 | 0:09:35 | |
But how has the news gone down
in the capital, Seoul? | 0:09:35 | 0:09:38 | |
Laura Bicker has been finding out. | 0:09:38 | 0:09:41 | |
For months, Seoul wondered
if it faced the prospect | 0:09:41 | 0:09:44 | |
of war once again. | 0:09:44 | 0:09:46 | |
Today, it woke to better news. | 0:09:46 | 0:09:52 | |
TRANSLATION: The prospect
of a stunning Trump/Kim summit has | 0:09:52 | 0:09:54 | |
turned an impending crisis
into an opportunity. | 0:09:54 | 0:10:01 | |
The horror of the Korean War
is not forgotten here. | 0:10:01 | 0:10:03 | |
The fighting ended
with no peace treaty. | 0:10:03 | 0:10:08 | |
Now future generations hope
these talks will prevent | 0:10:08 | 0:10:11 | |
further confrontation. | 0:10:11 | 0:10:15 | |
TRANSLATION: I think this
will be a turning point, | 0:10:15 | 0:10:17 | |
and through this our future children
will benefit from living in a more | 0:10:17 | 0:10:21 | |
free and peaceful world. | 0:10:21 | 0:10:23 | |
TRANSLATION: I think it is a good
thing for both countries, | 0:10:23 | 0:10:29 | |
and as a South Korean citizen,
it's good that the threat of war has | 0:10:29 | 0:10:33 | |
reduced, even by a little. | 0:10:33 | 0:10:38 | |
TRANSLATION: Even if things turn out
well, it won't benefit | 0:10:38 | 0:10:40 | |
the people in North Korea. | 0:10:40 | 0:10:42 | |
In the past, when the South Korean
President provided aid | 0:10:42 | 0:10:44 | |
to North Korea, I heard almost none
of it went to the common people. | 0:10:44 | 0:10:48 | |
So I don't think it's
going to turn out well. | 0:10:48 | 0:10:53 | |
Decades of distrust and suspicion
divide North and South. | 0:10:53 | 0:10:57 | |
People have learned that
hope can be a bad thing. | 0:10:57 | 0:11:00 | |
I'm told it's hard to tell
what is real progress | 0:11:00 | 0:11:02 | |
and what is propaganda. | 0:11:02 | 0:11:04 | |
A strong word of caution. | 0:11:04 | 0:11:06 | |
The road ahead is very long,
very complicated, very complex, | 0:11:06 | 0:11:11 | |
and there's no guarantee
that the North will ever | 0:11:11 | 0:11:14 | |
give up its nuclear
weapons easily, if at all. | 0:11:14 | 0:11:19 | |
These talks are a huge
political gamble. | 0:11:19 | 0:11:22 | |
Presidents Moon and Trump could be
being played by Pyongyang, | 0:11:22 | 0:11:25 | |
or this peninsula could be
on the verge of something it's been | 0:11:25 | 0:11:29 | |
searching for for nearly seven
decades, a peace treaty. | 0:11:29 | 0:11:34 | |
This statue portrays two
brothers divided by the war, | 0:11:34 | 0:11:38 | |
in a last, desperate embrace. | 0:11:38 | 0:11:41 | |
There's a sense of cautious optimism
that this unresolved conflict | 0:11:41 | 0:11:43 | |
could now have a happy ending. | 0:11:43 | 0:11:47 | |
Laura Baker, BBC News, Seoul. | 0:11:47 | 0:11:50 | |
Britain is close to agreeing
a multi-billion pound deal to supply | 0:11:52 | 0:11:55 | |
Saudi Arabia with 48
Typhoon fighter jets. | 0:11:55 | 0:11:57 | |
It coincides with the last
day of a state visit | 0:11:57 | 0:12:00 | |
by the new Saudi leader,
Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman. | 0:12:00 | 0:12:03 | |
It's a welcome shot in the arm
for UK industry but has already | 0:12:03 | 0:12:06 | |
attracted criticism. | 0:12:06 | 0:12:07 | |
Our security correspondent,
Frank Gardner, is with me. | 0:12:07 | 0:12:10 | |
With Saudi waging war in Yemen,
this was always going | 0:12:10 | 0:12:12 | |
to be controversial. | 0:12:12 | 0:12:17 | |
It certainly was, and I have to say
I think it is a punch in the nose | 0:12:17 | 0:12:22 | |
for the hundreds of protesters who
came out to demonstrate outside | 0:12:22 | 0:12:25 | |
Downing Street against both the
visit and the arms trade between | 0:12:25 | 0:12:30 | |
Britain and Saudi Arabia, plus all
those who are sitting at home | 0:12:30 | 0:12:33 | |
probably shaking their heads at
this. But for the government and the | 0:12:33 | 0:12:37 | |
defence industry and for those who
think Saudi Arabia is the right ally | 0:12:37 | 0:12:41 | |
to have, it is certainly a shot in
the arm. Over 5000 jobs in the UK | 0:12:41 | 0:12:46 | |
depend on this, many more in Saudi
Arabia. This is a man, the Crown | 0:12:46 | 0:12:51 | |
prince, who is shaking up that
country. He is seen as a defence | 0:12:51 | 0:12:56 | |
against Iranians expansionism, its
aggressive stance as it is perceived | 0:12:56 | 0:13:00 | |
in parts of the Middle East, and
Saudi Arabia cooperate on | 0:13:00 | 0:13:04 | |
counter-terrorism. They passed a
tip-off to stop an attack in 2012 | 0:13:04 | 0:13:08 | |
ahead of the London Olympics. The
government has taken a view that | 0:13:08 | 0:13:12 | |
despite concerns raised last night
at Chequers by the Prime Minister | 0:13:12 | 0:13:16 | |
over dinner, they will go ahead with
these defence sales. That will not | 0:13:16 | 0:13:19 | |
be popular with some people because
of Yemen. | 0:13:19 | 0:13:22 | |
The first aid convoy since Monday
has crossed into the besieged Syrian | 0:13:22 | 0:13:25 | |
rebel-held enclave of Eastern
Ghouta. | 0:13:25 | 0:13:26 | |
The International Red Cross has sent
13 trucks loaded with food | 0:13:26 | 0:13:29 | |
to hundreds of thousands
of civilians there. | 0:13:29 | 0:13:31 | |
The organisation said the convoy
was not allowed to take in medical | 0:13:31 | 0:13:34 | |
supplies and the amount of food
is nowhere near enough. | 0:13:34 | 0:13:39 | |
The man accused of carrying out
the London Tube bombing | 0:13:39 | 0:13:41 | |
at Parsons Green made no attempt
to deny he was responsible | 0:13:41 | 0:13:44 | |
when he was arrested
the day after the attack, | 0:13:44 | 0:13:46 | |
a court heard today. | 0:13:46 | 0:13:47 | |
The prosecution claims Ahmed Hassan,
who denies attempted murder, told | 0:13:47 | 0:13:51 | |
a detective that he made the bomb. | 0:13:51 | 0:13:53 | |
30 people were injured in September
last year when the bomb partially | 0:13:53 | 0:13:56 | |
exploded on a Tube carriage. | 0:13:56 | 0:13:59 | |
June Kelly was in court. | 0:13:59 | 0:14:01 | |
Ahmed Hassan on his way to Brighton,
hours after leaving a bomb | 0:14:01 | 0:14:04 | |
on an underground train in London. | 0:14:04 | 0:14:08 | |
Two years on from his arrival
in the UK, the teenage asylum seeker | 0:14:08 | 0:14:12 | |
caused mayhem in its capital city. | 0:14:12 | 0:14:16 | |
Hassan later headed for Dover,
where he made for the Port area. | 0:14:16 | 0:14:20 | |
The jury at his trial has seen this
CCTV footage of his movements. | 0:14:20 | 0:14:25 | |
On the run, he hung around this area
until the following morning. | 0:14:25 | 0:14:29 | |
And it was here, 24 hours
after the Tube attack, | 0:14:29 | 0:14:32 | |
the police identified him
as a wanted man. | 0:14:32 | 0:14:36 | |
In an initial interview
with counter-terrorism | 0:14:36 | 0:14:38 | |
detectives from Scotland Yard,
Hassan was asked, | 0:14:38 | 0:14:41 | |
"who planted the device?" | 0:14:41 | 0:14:42 | |
And he replied, "I did." | 0:14:42 | 0:14:45 | |
In response to further questions,
he said there might be a few | 0:14:45 | 0:14:48 | |
grams of the explosive,
TATP, at his home address. | 0:14:48 | 0:14:53 | |
Hassan's device created a fireball
when it partially exploded | 0:14:53 | 0:14:56 | |
on an underground train at Parsons
Green station in west London. | 0:14:56 | 0:15:02 | |
The jury was told today the bomb
was packed with shrapnel, | 0:15:02 | 0:15:06 | |
including nuts, bolts,
screws, drill bits and knives. | 0:15:06 | 0:15:12 | |
And it contained 400 grams
of the explosive TATP. | 0:15:12 | 0:15:16 | |
It would have been lethal if it
had fully detonated. | 0:15:16 | 0:15:19 | |
This was the evidence
from an explosives expert, | 0:15:19 | 0:15:21 | |
who went on to the train. | 0:15:21 | 0:15:24 | |
The prosecution evidence at his
trial is now drawing to a close | 0:15:24 | 0:15:27 | |
and Hassan's defence case is due
to start next week. | 0:15:27 | 0:15:31 | |

It is a quarter past six. | 0:15:39 | 0:15:41 | |
Our top story this evening. | 0:15:41 | 0:15:42 | |
Almost 200 specialist military
personnel have arrived in Salisbury | 0:15:42 | 0:15:45 | |
following the nerve agent
attack on a former Russian | 0:15:45 | 0:15:47 | |
spy and his daughter. | 0:15:47 | 0:15:53 | |
Coming up, I am in Dublin to try to
guide you through Six Nations | 0:15:53 | 0:15:58 | |
Saturday. Ireland could be champions
tomorrow night. | 0:15:58 | 0:16:01 | |
Coming up on Sportsday
on BBC News... | 0:16:01 | 0:16:03 | |
The game that could decide
the best of the rest | 0:16:03 | 0:16:06 | |
in the Premier League. | 0:16:06 | 0:16:07 | |
We'll preview Manchester United
against Liverpool, | 0:16:07 | 0:16:08 | |
second against third in the table, | 0:16:08 | 0:16:09 | |
ahead of their meeting on Saturday. | 0:16:09 | 0:16:17 | |
Increasing numbers of young
British Muslim women are choosing | 0:16:22 | 0:16:24 | |
to wear a hijab or headscarf. | 0:16:24 | 0:16:25 | |
It's not without controversy. | 0:16:25 | 0:16:26 | |
Women in some Muslim
countries, like Iran, | 0:16:26 | 0:16:29 | |
are campaigning against it
as a symbol of oppression. | 0:16:29 | 0:16:31 | |
But here some women
are taking the opposite view, | 0:16:31 | 0:16:33 | |
seeing it as empowering -
even a feminist statement. | 0:16:33 | 0:16:36 | |
It's increasingly evident in the
world of fashion and social media. | 0:16:36 | 0:16:38 | |
And a major modelling agency has
just signed its first British | 0:16:38 | 0:16:41 | |
catwalk model who wears a hijab. | 0:16:41 | 0:16:42 | |
Nomia Iqbal investigates. | 0:16:42 | 0:16:50 | |
The spotlight is on the hijab. | 0:16:51 | 0:16:54 | |
Many Muslim women choose
to wear it proudly. | 0:16:54 | 0:16:57 | |
For some, it's an act of modesty. | 0:16:57 | 0:17:01 | |
For others, in countries like Iran,
forced to wear it, it's a symbol | 0:17:01 | 0:17:03 | |
to remove in protest. | 0:17:03 | 0:17:08 | |
It may divide opinion,
but the hijab is going high fashion. | 0:17:08 | 0:17:15 | |
20-year-old model Shahira Yusuf has
been signed up by Storm, | 0:17:15 | 0:17:19 | |
the agency that found
supermodel Kate Moss. | 0:17:19 | 0:17:23 | |
Shahira is one of the first
British models with a hijab | 0:17:23 | 0:17:26 | |
taking to the catwalk. | 0:17:26 | 0:17:28 | |
Yeah, definitely don't want to be
considered a token girl. | 0:17:28 | 0:17:32 | |
I don't want these models
like ethnic models or models | 0:17:32 | 0:17:36 | |
from different religious backgrounds
to just pave the way, | 0:17:36 | 0:17:39 | |
I want the way to stay there,
become the norm within society. | 0:17:39 | 0:17:42 | |
Because it is the norm outside
of the modelling sphere. | 0:17:42 | 0:17:49 | |
Shahira is becoming
the face of Modest Fashion. | 0:17:49 | 0:17:52 | |
At the show in London,
Muslim designers have come | 0:17:52 | 0:17:54 | |
from all over the world
to promote their clothes. | 0:17:54 | 0:17:58 | |
The market for Modest Fashion
is on course to be worth billions. | 0:17:58 | 0:18:03 | |
I grew up in a Muslim family
and none of the the women | 0:18:03 | 0:18:06 | |
in my family wore the hijab. | 0:18:06 | 0:18:08 | |
None of my Muslim
friends wore it either. | 0:18:08 | 0:18:10 | |
But now, more and more young
women are wearing it. | 0:18:10 | 0:18:14 | |
The reason why I wear
it is to number one, cover my hair. | 0:18:14 | 0:18:18 | |
And number two, to be honest,
I actually enjoy wearing the hijab, | 0:18:18 | 0:18:21 | |
I enjoy covering my hair,
I enjoy the hijabs I have today | 0:18:21 | 0:18:24 | |
I feel like it makes a statement. | 0:18:24 | 0:18:25 | |
It's part of who I am,
it's my crown. | 0:18:25 | 0:18:30 | |
The hijab to me is empowerment
and it's feminism and it's taking | 0:18:30 | 0:18:32 | |
control and ownership
of what I choose | 0:18:32 | 0:18:34 | |
to show to the world. | 0:18:34 | 0:18:35 | |
Being online has given some women
a powerful platform. | 0:18:35 | 0:18:41 | |
Social media star Mariah Idrissi has
a huge following on Instagram. | 0:18:41 | 0:18:44 | |
The hijab is a part of me,
it's part of my career | 0:18:44 | 0:18:47 | |
and it's representation. | 0:18:47 | 0:18:48 | |
You know, we shouldn't be ashamed
or shy to represent who we are. | 0:18:48 | 0:18:53 | |
If you are a model wearing a hijab,
and you're on Instagram and having | 0:18:53 | 0:18:56 | |
thousands of people following you,
aren't you doing the opposite | 0:18:56 | 0:18:59 | |
of what the hijab is
supposed to be about? | 0:18:59 | 0:19:03 | |
The mainstream media,
western media isn't | 0:19:03 | 0:19:05 | |
representing Muslims on TV,
in fashion, anywhere. | 0:19:05 | 0:19:08 | |
The only time we are represented
is for something bad. | 0:19:08 | 0:19:11 | |
I just saw this as, you know I'm
going on the news and I'm talking | 0:19:11 | 0:19:14 | |
about something that's not
about terrorism, not | 0:19:14 | 0:19:16 | |
about women being oppressed,
I'm talking about fashion. | 0:19:16 | 0:19:19 | |
Some campaigners for Muslim womens'
rights think the hijab's popularity | 0:19:19 | 0:19:22 | |
is a political statement. | 0:19:22 | 0:19:25 | |
They feel uneasy about its use
as an expression of identity. | 0:19:25 | 0:19:29 | |
Modest does not mean
you need to wear the hijab. | 0:19:29 | 0:19:34 | |
Modesty goes beyond that in your
behaviour and your way of dressing. | 0:19:34 | 0:19:39 | |
I don't need to prove to anybody
what I am, but in the hijab, | 0:19:39 | 0:19:45 | |
you are singling yourself
and proving something unnecessary, | 0:19:45 | 0:19:47 | |
especially in the Western world. | 0:19:47 | 0:19:51 | |
The hijab means different things
to different people. | 0:19:51 | 0:19:55 | |
Shahira believes you can wear it
and be a successful model. | 0:19:55 | 0:19:58 | |
Her dream? | 0:19:58 | 0:19:59 | |

Sir John Sulston, who won
the Nobel Prize for medicine | 0:20:09 | 0:20:11 | |
for his work on the human genome
project, has died. | 0:20:11 | 0:20:14 | |
Sir John's work in decoding
the sequence of human DNA - | 0:20:14 | 0:20:17 | |
the building blocks of life -
saw him awarded the prize in 2002. | 0:20:17 | 0:20:25 | |
It's an important
weekend of sport ahead. | 0:20:25 | 0:20:27 | |
The Paralympic Winter Games have got
underway in South Korea | 0:20:27 | 0:20:30 | |
with the British team hoping
for a record medal haul. | 0:20:30 | 0:20:33 | |
And it's the penultimate
round of matches in rugby's | 0:20:33 | 0:20:35 | |
Six Nations this weekend,
but with Ireland in pole position, | 0:20:35 | 0:20:38 | |
the title could be decided tomorrow. | 0:20:38 | 0:20:39 | |
Joe Wilson is inside
the Aviva Stadium in Dublin. | 0:20:39 | 0:20:42 | |
Joe. | 0:20:42 | 0:20:45 | |
If your idea of an ideal that they
often is becoming engrossed in rugby | 0:20:49 | 0:20:53 | |
union event tomorrow could be
perfect with loads possibilities. | 0:20:53 | 0:20:56 | |
Ireland could be champions by
tomorrow night. England essentially | 0:20:56 | 0:21:00 | |
have to match whatever they do to
keep their hopes alive. Scotland are | 0:21:00 | 0:21:04 | |
in the mix as well. It all begins at
2:15pm in this city. | 0:21:04 | 0:21:09 | |
In Dublin they line up this way. | 0:21:09 | 0:21:11 | |
Undefeated Ireland versus
rejuvenated Scotland. | 0:21:11 | 0:21:14 | |
Both teams should be confident,
both are in contention. | 0:21:14 | 0:21:17 | |
If Ireland win, they could be Six
Nations champions by Saturday night. | 0:21:17 | 0:21:22 | |
If Scotland win then
everything seems wide open. | 0:21:22 | 0:21:25 | |
Remember how they beat England. | 0:21:25 | 0:21:30 | |
The group's got confidence
but they've also got awareness | 0:21:30 | 0:21:34 | |
of how good Ireland are and how good
we will have to be to win | 0:21:34 | 0:21:38 | |
and we'll have to be better
than we were against England. | 0:21:38 | 0:21:41 | |
We're really excited to get back out
on the field and get going. | 0:21:41 | 0:21:47 | |
But, you know, there's nerves
and a little bit of, you know, | 0:21:47 | 0:21:50 | |
worry about the threat that
Scotland bring. | 0:21:50 | 0:21:52 | |
Well, Dublin's match will just be
the start of things. | 0:21:52 | 0:21:55 | |
The next rugby bridge to cross
on Saturday will come in Paris. | 0:21:55 | 0:22:01 | |
Tea-time kick-off, fragile France
versus uncertain England? | 0:22:01 | 0:22:05 | |
Well, with mind or muscle,
England must beat the French. | 0:22:05 | 0:22:09 | |
They may have to score four tries
for a bonus point to stay | 0:22:09 | 0:22:12 | |
in sight of Ireland. | 0:22:12 | 0:22:13 | |
England have made big changes,
some enforced by injury. | 0:22:13 | 0:22:15 | |
There is a new man
carrying the captain's | 0:22:15 | 0:22:18 | |
responsibility, his way. | 0:22:18 | 0:22:21 | |
You try and be aggressive
in the right times. | 0:22:21 | 0:22:26 | |
You want to be calm and clear-headed
to be able to make good decisions. | 0:22:26 | 0:22:31 | |
And I think that's where
I've probably matured | 0:22:31 | 0:22:33 | |
a bit over the years. | 0:22:33 | 0:22:34 | |
But at the same time,
when the opportunity | 0:22:34 | 0:22:38 | |
arises to be aggressive,
you've got to make | 0:22:38 | 0:22:40 | |
sure you're in it. | 0:22:40 | 0:22:43 | |
And could France suddenly
to be brilliant? | 0:22:43 | 0:22:45 | |
Not even Poirot knows. | 0:22:45 | 0:22:48 | |
That's Jefferson Poirot,
their 19 stone prop. | 0:22:48 | 0:22:50 | |
It's the uncertainty that
makes the Six Nations. | 0:22:50 | 0:22:51 | |
Dublin's modern stadium
lies near to the Liffey. | 0:22:51 | 0:22:53 | |
It twists, it turns. | 0:22:53 | 0:22:54 | |
We watch, we wait. | 0:22:54 | 0:23:02 | |
If you like your twists and turns on
snow or ice them look towards the | 0:23:03 | 0:23:09 | |
Winter Paralympics, bigger than ever
this time and from South Korea Kate | 0:23:09 | 0:23:13 | |
Grey has sent this report. | 0:23:13 | 0:23:16 | |
The biggest Winter
Paralympics to date. | 0:23:16 | 0:23:18 | |
Drummers and dancers,
the traditional charms | 0:23:18 | 0:23:21 | |
of Korea opening the show. | 0:23:21 | 0:23:24 | |
The weather playing its part too -
nothing could be done | 0:23:24 | 0:23:26 | |
about the fog covered fireworks. | 0:23:26 | 0:23:31 | |
And heavy snow had prevented a full
rehearsal so a slight flag hiccup | 0:23:31 | 0:23:34 | |
could be forgiven. | 0:23:34 | 0:23:36 | |
But the flags were in full
flight when it came to | 0:23:36 | 0:23:39 | |
the parade, some more than others. | 0:23:39 | 0:23:41 | |
And here they come, Great Britain. | 0:23:41 | 0:23:44 | |
Owen Pick leading the way, a great
honour for the soldier turned | 0:23:44 | 0:23:47 | |
snowboarder. | 0:23:47 | 0:23:49 | |
And the British team
certainly enjoying the | 0:23:49 | 0:23:50 | |
party atmosphere. | 0:23:50 | 0:23:52 | |
The International Paralympic
Committee had wanted | 0:23:52 | 0:23:54 | |
North Korea and South Korea to march
out under a unified flag but these | 0:23:54 | 0:23:57 | |
Games will be North Korea's debut
Winter Paralympics so the team | 0:23:57 | 0:24:00 | |
preferred to walk out separately. | 0:24:00 | 0:24:05 | |
The host nation completed
the procession but the cold | 0:24:05 | 0:24:07 | |
temperature meant no hanging around,
with all teams snaking | 0:24:07 | 0:24:09 | |
in and out of the stadium. | 0:24:09 | 0:24:14 | |
The crowd were treated
to an eclectic mix - | 0:24:14 | 0:24:19 | |
a snowboarding bear,
weird and wonderful contraptions | 0:24:19 | 0:24:23 | |
on wheels, and the floor putting
on its own dazzling show | 0:24:23 | 0:24:26 | |
with the help of performers. | 0:24:26 | 0:24:30 | |
Paralympics GB have a target of six
to 12 medals here in South Korea | 0:24:30 | 0:24:33 | |
and their best chances could come
from the ski slopes. | 0:24:33 | 0:24:39 | |
Rising stars Menna Fitzpatrick
and her guide, Jen Kehoe, | 0:24:39 | 0:24:43 | |
will compete across the five Alpine
skiing events and could be two | 0:24:43 | 0:24:45 | |
the big names of these Games. | 0:24:45 | 0:24:47 | |
There's a really good buzz
in the camp, the mood | 0:24:47 | 0:24:49 | |
is really, really positive. | 0:24:49 | 0:24:50 | |
It feels like a real family. | 0:24:50 | 0:24:52 | |
There's a real identity,
there's a real cohesion, | 0:24:52 | 0:24:54 | |
you can feel the support. | 0:24:54 | 0:24:58 | |
With the cauldron lit
and the fog finally clearing | 0:24:58 | 0:25:02 | |
for the firework finale,
the organisers will hope it | 0:25:02 | 0:25:04 | |
will now be about the sport
and not the weather. | 0:25:04 | 0:25:07 | |
Kate Grey, BBC News, Pyeongchang. | 0:25:07 | 0:25:11 | |
Time for a look at the weather. | 0:25:11 | 0:25:13 | |
Here's Chris Fawkes. | 0:25:13 | 0:25:15 | |
Not as cold as South Korea? | 0:25:17 | 0:25:22 | |
Actually, it is warming up in South
Korea, turning milder there and also | 0:25:22 | 0:25:28 | |
for us. This was one of our
spectacular pictures from the day | 0:25:28 | 0:25:33 | |
fells fells covered in snow
underneath sunny skies, a glorious | 0:25:33 | 0:25:37 | |
day. But the weather is changing,
and looking at the south there is | 0:25:37 | 0:25:43 | |
low pressure and a waving weather
front that will bring pulses of | 0:25:43 | 0:25:47 | |
heavy rain northwards across the UK.
That process is underway at the | 0:25:47 | 0:25:51 | |
moment with the rain already
arriving in southern England, into | 0:25:51 | 0:25:55 | |
Wales and the Midlands and East
Anglia. You can see it turning | 0:25:55 | 0:25:59 | |
increasingly heavy in central and
southern England, London and the | 0:25:59 | 0:26:02 | |
south-east in the next few hours.
The rest of this evening and | 0:26:02 | 0:26:08 | |
overnight, this rain will extend
northwards into northern England and | 0:26:08 | 0:26:11 | |
Northern Ireland. We will have clear
skies for a time in Scotland but | 0:26:11 | 0:26:16 | |
with the south-westerly winds
strengthening it will bring up some | 0:26:16 | 0:26:18 | |
mild air and by the end of the night
we will have temperatures of ten or | 0:26:18 | 0:26:22 | |
11 degrees in Cardiff and London but
further north with the clearer | 0:26:22 | 0:26:27 | |
skies, cold enough for some frost in
parts of Scotland. Looking at | 0:26:27 | 0:26:33 | |
Saturday, a wet start for many, the
rain moving northward into Northern | 0:26:33 | 0:26:38 | |
Ireland and Scotland, some snow
across the highest hills in Scotland | 0:26:38 | 0:26:41 | |
but as the milder air comes in the
snow will change back to rain and we | 0:26:41 | 0:26:45 | |
could have another pulse of rain
come into western England and Wales | 0:26:45 | 0:26:50 | |
and in Wales and north-west England
it might rain for much of the | 0:26:50 | 0:26:53 | |
afternoon. Further east it will stay
cloudy but there could be brighter | 0:26:53 | 0:26:57 | |
spells and that would boost
temperatures up to 15 degrees in | 0:26:57 | 0:27:00 | |
parts of eastern England. What about
Sunday? More rain forecast I'm | 0:27:00 | 0:27:06 | |
afraid, particularly in southern
counties. Likely to be quite heavy, | 0:27:06 | 0:27:10 | |
maybe some thunder and an area not
far off as in minute continent could | 0:27:10 | 0:27:17 | |
effect parts of East Anglia but that
is uncertain. Further north with | 0:27:17 | 0:27:21 | |
like to winds Somma mist and fog
possible but 10 degrees possible in | 0:27:21 | 0:27:26 | |
Scotland -- some mist and fog. To
summarise, we are seeing a change to | 0:27:26 | 0:27:34 | |
milder conditions, we will all get
some rain through the weekend but | 0:27:34 | 0:27:38 | |
come in fairly heavy pulse
particularly on Saturday but the | 0:27:38 | 0:27:41 | |
temperatures will be rising all the
time, 15 degrees could be yours on | 0:27:41 | 0:27:45 | |
Saturday and even on the Sunday,
double bigots everywhere turning | 0:27:45 | 0:27:50 | |
significantly milder in Scotland. --
double figures. | 0:27:50 | 0:27:56 | |
A reminder of our main story. | 0:27:56 | 0:28:01 | |
Almost 200 specialist military
personnel have arrived in Salisbury | 0:28:01 | 0:28:03 | |
following the nerve agent attack
on a former Russian | 0:28:03 | 0:28:05 | |
spy and his daughter. | 0:28:05 | 0:28:06 | |
That's all from the BBC News at Six
so it's goodbye from me | 0:28:06 | 0:28:09 | |
and on BBC One we now join the BBC's
news teams where you are. | 0:28:09 | 0:28:12 |
