necessary as part of this major

The Prime Minister has told Russia
to explain by midnight | 0:00:46 | 0:00:49 | |
what happened as President Trump
gives her his support. | 0:00:49 | 0:00:51 | |
It sounds to me like they believe
it was Russia and I would certainly | 0:00:51 | 0:00:54 | |
take that finding as fact. | 0:00:54 | 0:00:56 | |
Moscow has again denied
being involved and says it wants | 0:00:56 | 0:00:58 | |

as President Trump fires Secretary | 0:01:00 | 0:01:02 | |

And coming up on Sportsday
on BBC News... | 0:01:33 | 0:01:35 | |
We'll round-up day one
of the Cheltenham Festival, | 0:01:35 | 0:01:37 | |
where Buveur D'Air won the big race
of the day, the Champion Hurdle. | 0:01:37 | 0:01:40 | |
Good afternoon and welcome
to the BBC News at Six. | 0:01:55 | 0:01:59 | |
Police have been giving more details
about the last known movements | 0:01:59 | 0:02:02 | |
of Sergei Skripal and his daughter
before they collapsed | 0:02:02 | 0:02:04 | |
in Salisbury nine days ago. | 0:02:04 | 0:02:07 | |
33-year-old Yulia Skripal arrived
in the UK the day before | 0:02:07 | 0:02:09 | |
they were poisoned with a military
grade nerve agent. | 0:02:09 | 0:02:13 | |
Time is running out for Russia
to respond to the Prime Minister's | 0:02:13 | 0:02:16 | |
demand for a credible explanation
as to how the nerve agent | 0:02:16 | 0:02:19 | |
ended up in Salisbury. | 0:02:19 | 0:02:22 | |
The deadline is midnight tonight. | 0:02:22 | 0:02:24 | |
Let's get the latest
from Daniel Sandford, | 0:02:24 | 0:02:26 | |
who's in Salisbury. | 0:02:26 | 0:02:34 | |
Police describe this today as an
extremely challenging investigation | 0:02:35 | 0:02:39 | |
that unique and complex issues, and
that is because of the dangers to | 0:02:39 | 0:02:45 | |
everyone involved from that Russia
and nerve agent used in what police | 0:02:45 | 0:02:50 | |
call a despicable, reckless and
targeted attack. | 0:02:50 | 0:02:55 | |
This evening, there was intense
police activity at the pound where | 0:02:55 | 0:02:57 | |
Sergei Skripal's car was found
after being towed away | 0:02:57 | 0:02:59 | |
from Salisbury town centre. | 0:02:59 | 0:03:00 | |
Every day, the work has thrown up
a different location. | 0:03:00 | 0:03:03 | |
Counter terrorism detectives warning
today that the operation in the city | 0:03:03 | 0:03:06 | |
will last many weeks. | 0:03:06 | 0:03:10 | |
We're sifting and assessing
all evidence available | 0:03:10 | 0:03:12 | |
and we are exploring
all investigative avenues. | 0:03:12 | 0:03:16 | |
This includes extensive
CCTV footage from across | 0:03:16 | 0:03:17 | |
the city and over
380 exhibits so far. | 0:03:17 | 0:03:25 | |
It's vital that we gather all
the evidence available to us and we | 0:03:26 | 0:03:29 | |
leave no stone unturned in
establishing the full circumstances. | 0:03:29 | 0:03:34 | |
Police believe Yulia Skripal arrived
at Heathrow Airport from Russia at | 0:03:34 | 0:03:37 | |
2.40 in the afternoon
of Saturday, 3rd March. | 0:03:37 | 0:03:41 | |
The next day, the day
of the attack, she and her father | 0:03:41 | 0:03:45 | |
parked at 1.40pm on the upper deck
of the Sainsbury's car park in | 0:03:45 | 0:03:48 | |
Salisbury and then
went to the Mill pub. | 0:03:48 | 0:03:51 | |
They took a short walk to Zizzi's
restaurant, where they were | 0:03:51 | 0:03:54 | |
between 2.20 and 3.35. | 0:03:54 | 0:03:57 | |
At 4.15, they were found seriously
ill on a park bench. | 0:03:57 | 0:04:03 | |
Police are asking anyone who saw
their car, this red BMW, between | 0:04:03 | 0:04:10 | |
1pm and 1.45pm that
day to come forward. | 0:04:10 | 0:04:18 | |
They said Detective Sergeant Nick
Bailey, who became seriously ill | 0:04:18 | 0:04:20 | |
after becoming contaminated,
was | 0:04:20 | 0:04:21 | |
making good progress. | 0:04:21 | 0:04:22 | |
The two people targeted
in the attack, Yulia and | 0:04:22 | 0:04:24 | |
Sergei Skripal, are still
in intensive care here in Salisbury | 0:04:24 | 0:04:27 | |
Hospital, where staff are having
to use special precautions, | 0:04:27 | 0:04:29 | |
because of the military
grade nerve agents. | 0:04:29 | 0:04:31 | |
They're both in a critical
condition, but they're both still | 0:04:31 | 0:04:35 | |
stable, which means they're not
getting significantly worse. | 0:04:35 | 0:04:43 | |
I understand she is doing
slightly better than he is. | 0:04:44 | 0:04:47 | |
Detectives said at this stage
they would not be making | 0:04:47 | 0:04:49 | |
public any suspect they have
in this unique inquiry. | 0:04:49 | 0:04:51 | |
Daniel Sandford,
BBC News, Salisbury. | 0:04:51 | 0:04:59 | |
President Trump has made his first
public comments about the attack. | 0:05:05 | 0:05:07 | |
He said as soon as the facts
were straight, America would condemn | 0:05:07 | 0:05:10 | |
Russia or whoever it may be. | 0:05:10 | 0:05:13 | |
And the European Union has said it's
ready to support Britain | 0:05:13 | 0:05:16 | |
"in pursuit of justice". | 0:05:16 | 0:05:17 | |
Here's our Diplomatic
Correspondent James Landale. | 0:05:17 | 0:05:19 | |
It began as a brutal attack
on the streets of Salisbury, | 0:05:19 | 0:05:22 | |
the poisoning of a former Russian
intelligence | 0:05:22 | 0:05:24 | |
officer and his daughter,
that the UK blames on Russia. | 0:05:24 | 0:05:27 | |
But it's become a global
diplomatic row, with Britain | 0:05:27 | 0:05:29 | |
looking for allies in its
confrontation with Moscow. | 0:05:29 | 0:05:34 | |
British ministers
meeting again to discuss | 0:05:34 | 0:05:36 | |
the case have given the Kremlin
until midnight to explain how a | 0:05:36 | 0:05:44 | |
nerve agent developed in Russia
ended up in Britain. | 0:05:46 | 0:05:49 | |
If the response is implausible,
they are promising | 0:05:49 | 0:05:51 | |
extensive measures against Russia. | 0:05:51 | 0:05:54 | |
This is a brazen attempt to murder
innocent people on UK soil. | 0:05:54 | 0:05:59 | |
Policemen still in hospital,
overwhelmingly likely or highly | 0:05:59 | 0:06:05 | |
likely the Russian state was
involved, and the use of this nerve | 0:06:05 | 0:06:10 | |
agent would represent the first use
of nerve agents on the continent of | 0:06:10 | 0:06:15 | |
Europe since the Second World War.
As part of a huge diplomatic effort | 0:06:15 | 0:06:20 | |
across Europe, British officials
told the chemicals weapon watchdog | 0:06:20 | 0:06:24 | |
that Russia was implicated in the
use of chemical weapons. Germany, | 0:06:24 | 0:06:29 | |
France and other allies offered
support without attributing blame | 0:06:29 | 0:06:33 | |
but Donald Trump at least appeared
to accept Russia might be involved. | 0:06:33 | 0:06:37 | |
Theresa May is going to be speaking
to me today. It sounds to me like | 0:06:37 | 0:06:42 | |
they believe it was Russia and I
would certainly take that finding as | 0:06:42 | 0:06:47 | |
fact. As soon as we get the facts
straight, if we agree with them, we | 0:06:47 | 0:06:53 | |
will condemn Russia or whoever it
may be. Russia is already subject to | 0:06:53 | 0:06:59 | |
sanctions. Ministers insist these
damage Russia's economy but their | 0:06:59 | 0:07:05 | |
impact on behaviour is doubtful.
Crucially these are largely EU | 0:07:05 | 0:07:09 | |
sanctions, the UK cannot impose them
on its own. So what unilateral | 0:07:09 | 0:07:14 | |
options is the Government
considering? Some of Russia's 58 | 0:07:14 | 0:07:19 | |
diplomats in London could be
expelled but that might promote a | 0:07:19 | 0:07:22 | |
tit for tat expulsion. Russians
could face travel bans, but who and | 0:07:22 | 0:07:32 | |
how? There could be tougher laws to
crack down on Russian officials | 0:07:32 | 0:07:36 | |
guilty of human rights abuses, and
Russian television stations like RT | 0:07:36 | 0:07:39 | |
could be targeted. Here at the
Foreign Office, they are also | 0:07:39 | 0:07:45 | |
investing a lot of effort and
diplomacy in trying to bring | 0:07:45 | 0:07:48 | |
international pressure to bear on
Russia but the bar is high. Russia | 0:07:48 | 0:07:53 | |
has a veto at the UN and some EU
countries are reluctant to | 0:07:53 | 0:07:58 | |
contemplate yet more sanctions. To
date, the Russian Embassy said | 0:07:58 | 0:08:03 | |
accusations of involvement in the
Salisbury attack were groundless as | 0:08:03 | 0:08:06 | |
diplomats promised retaliation
against any new sanctions. Russia is | 0:08:06 | 0:08:10 | |
not a country to be spoken to in the
language of ultimatums. I think it | 0:08:10 | 0:08:15 | |
is high time the UK learned that.
But unless Moscow gives Britain a | 0:08:15 | 0:08:23 | |
satisfactory answer by midnight,
some Russian diplomats here might be | 0:08:23 | 0:08:26 | |
clearing their desks very soon. | 0:08:26 | 0:08:31 | |
The Russian government has once
again denied being involved. | 0:08:31 | 0:08:39 | |
Russia's Foreign Minister says
Britain isn't letting the Kremlin | 0:08:39 | 0:08:41 | |
see the evidence of the nerve agent
attack, as required | 0:08:41 | 0:08:43 | |
under international law. | 0:08:43 | 0:08:44 | |
Sarah Rainsford in Moscow -
and something of a diplomatic | 0:08:44 | 0:08:47 | |
standoff? | 0:08:47 | 0:08:51 | |
I think that's right and it's only
going to escalate. | 0:08:51 | 0:09:00 | |
going to escalate. Britain expects
some answers. The Foreign Ministry | 0:09:00 | 0:09:02 | |
said he came to hear the Russian
protest against what Russia calls | 0:09:02 | 0:09:06 | |
the sordid attempt to discredit this
country. Strong language coming from | 0:09:06 | 0:09:11 | |
Moscow, and the strongest we have
heard yet coming from the minister | 0:09:11 | 0:09:15 | |
himself, Sergey Lavrov. He has
essentially rejected the deadline. | 0:09:15 | 0:09:19 | |
He said Britain is violating the
chemical weapons Convention by only | 0:09:19 | 0:09:25 | |
giving Russia 24 hours to respond to
the allegation of a chemical attack. | 0:09:25 | 0:09:28 | |
He says there should be ten days to
respond so unless the UK sticks to | 0:09:28 | 0:09:35 | |
the rules, Russia has no intention
of doing so either, was pretty much | 0:09:35 | 0:09:40 | |
the message from Sergey Lavrov. When
I asked him directly if Russia was | 0:09:40 | 0:09:44 | |
responsible for the attack, he said
that was nonsense. We heard as well | 0:09:44 | 0:09:49 | |
from his spokeswoman later today
with even stronger language. She | 0:09:49 | 0:09:54 | |
said today, "Who does Britain think
it is issuing ultimatums to a | 0:09:54 | 0:10:00 | |
nuclear power?" So no sign of Russia
even meeting the deadline or backing | 0:10:00 | 0:10:05 | |
down on its stance over this attack. | 0:10:05 | 0:10:09 | |
Our Security Correspondent
Gordon Corera is here - | 0:10:09 | 0:10:11 | |
investigations continue and they're
now widening to include | 0:10:11 | 0:10:13 | |
the deaths of other Russians. | 0:10:13 | 0:10:16 | |
That's right, there have been a
series of questions over the deaths | 0:10:16 | 0:10:20 | |
of other Russians and people
connected to Russia over the last | 0:10:20 | 0:10:23 | |
decade or so in Britain. Follow your
question, the Home Secretary today | 0:10:23 | 0:10:30 | |
said police and MI5 will review some
of those cases to check effectively | 0:10:30 | 0:10:33 | |
there was nothing suspicious about
those. As if to make the point, we | 0:10:33 | 0:10:37 | |
just learned today that the police
are investigating another what they | 0:10:37 | 0:10:42 | |
call unexplained death in New Malden
south of London and they are | 0:10:42 | 0:10:46 | |
investigating the death here of a
man called Nikolai Glushkov, who was | 0:10:46 | 0:10:52 | |
a close ally and friend of Boris
Berezovsky, a critic of Vladimir | 0:10:52 | 0:10:57 | |
Putin who himself died in 2013 and
is likely to be the subject of one | 0:10:57 | 0:11:01 | |
of those reviews into so-called
suspicious deaths. Counterterrorism | 0:11:01 | 0:11:06 | |
command are leading this
investigation in New Malden, they | 0:11:06 | 0:11:11 | |
say as a precautionary measure given
the man's contacts, no evidence yet | 0:11:11 | 0:11:17 | |
it is suspicious, and they are
saying there's no link to Salisbury | 0:11:17 | 0:11:21 | |
but you can get a sense of the
change in context in the way these | 0:11:21 | 0:11:24 | |
deaths are being viewed because of
the sense of what Russia might be | 0:11:24 | 0:11:27 | |
able to do has changed, but very
much the priority for police and MI5 | 0:11:27 | 0:11:31 | |
will be the investigation in
Salisbury at the you. | 0:11:31 | 0:11:41 | |
President Trump has
sacked his top diplomat, | 0:11:41 | 0:11:43 | |
the US Secretary of State,
Rex Tillerson - | 0:11:43 | 0:11:45 | |
apparently without warning. | 0:11:45 | 0:11:46 | |
The two men have had
a series of public rifts | 0:11:46 | 0:11:48 | |
over issues like Russia,
North Korea and Iran. | 0:11:48 | 0:11:50 | |
Our North America editor,
Jon Sopel, is in Washington. | 0:11:50 | 0:11:52 | |
Was this a surprise
or a long time coming? | 0:11:52 | 0:11:54 | |
I think the White House are trying
to frame this as we are getting the | 0:11:54 | 0:11:58 | |
right team in place for the
challenges ahead, most notably talks | 0:11:58 | 0:12:02 | |
on North Korea, but there were
differences and on Russia the | 0:12:02 | 0:12:06 | |
response to what happened in
Salisbury, part of those rifts. | 0:12:06 | 0:12:11 | |
Nevertheless, even for those with
steel reinforced jawbones, the | 0:12:11 | 0:12:16 | |
casual brutality with which Donald
Trump dispatched his Secretary of | 0:12:16 | 0:12:21 | |
State today has left many
slack-jawed. | 0:12:21 | 0:12:24 | |
Rex Tillerson was flying back to
Washington from a long trip to North | 0:12:24 | 0:12:29 | |
Africa when he cut loose with
journalists but unknown to him the | 0:12:29 | 0:12:36 | |
president had signed his death
warrant and it would be death by | 0:12:36 | 0:12:39 | |
tweet. Mike Pompeo, director of the
CIA, will become the new Secretary | 0:12:39 | 0:12:45 | |
of State. He will do a fantastic
job. Thank you to Rex Tillerson for | 0:12:45 | 0:12:50 | |
his service. But Rex Tillerson is
not on Twitter so it fell to his | 0:12:50 | 0:12:55 | |
chief of staff to ring him and
inform them of his demise, only | 0:12:55 | 0:13:02 | |
after this from the president. I
wish Rex a lot of good things, I | 0:13:02 | 0:13:07 | |
think he will be happy, much happier
now but I really appreciate his | 0:13:07 | 0:13:11 | |
service. Rex Tillerson's fate was
probably sealed a long time ago when | 0:13:11 | 0:13:15 | |
he apparently called the president a
moron, a claim the Secretary of | 0:13:15 | 0:13:19 | |
State did not exactly deny. I'm not
going to deal with petty stuff like | 0:13:19 | 0:13:24 | |
that. This is what I don't
understand about Washington. I'm not | 0:13:24 | 0:13:29 | |
from this place but the places I
come from we don't deal with that | 0:13:29 | 0:13:43 | |
kind of petty nonsense. Then there
was the public undermining of the | 0:13:43 | 0:13:46 | |
Secretary of State by the President,
sending family members to do some of | 0:13:46 | 0:13:48 | |
the work that would normally be done
by America's top diplomat and public | 0:13:48 | 0:13:51 | |
shaming on Twitter like this. "I
Told Rex Tillerson that he's wasting | 0:13:51 | 0:13:53 | |
his time trying to negotiate with
little rocket man". The new man will | 0:13:53 | 0:13:58 | |
be Mike Pompeo. He recently spoke to
the BBC. On most things he's firmly | 0:13:58 | 0:14:03 | |
aligned with the president but on
Russia he acknowledges the threat | 0:14:03 | 0:14:06 | |
they continue to pose to US
elections. I have every expectation | 0:14:06 | 0:14:11 | |
they will continue to try to do that
but I'm confident America will have | 0:14:11 | 0:14:15 | |
a free and fair election, and push
back in a way that is sufficiently | 0:14:15 | 0:14:19 | |
robust that the impact they have | 0:14:19 | 0:14:27 | |
robust that the impact they have on
our election won't be great. | 0:14:27 | 0:14:28 | |
Tillerson and Trump never gelled, it
was a corporate titan but now | 0:14:28 | 0:14:32 | |
political roadkill. Surely the place
with lowest life expectancy anywhere | 0:14:32 | 0:14:36 | |
in the world, being a member of the
Trump Administration. | 0:14:36 | 0:14:42 | |

finals of the Champions League? | 0:15:06 | 0:15:07 | |
They face Sevilla at Old Trafford
tonight after a goalless first leg. | 0:15:07 | 0:15:10 | |
The Chancellor, Philip Hammond,
has delivered an upbeat | 0:15:21 | 0:15:23 | |
assessment of the UK economy,
claiming there's "light at the end | 0:15:23 | 0:15:26 | |
of the tunnel" and hinting
at possible public spending | 0:15:26 | 0:15:28 | |
increases in the Autumn. | 0:15:28 | 0:15:33 | |
Mr Hammond delivered his Spring
statement to MPs, saying growth | 0:15:33 | 0:15:36 | |
and employment were up and inflation
was set to fall. | 0:15:36 | 0:15:41 | |
He's also given the clearest
hint yet, to the BBC, | 0:15:41 | 0:15:43 | |
that he's prepared to increase
spending on health. | 0:15:43 | 0:15:45 | |
But Labour accused the Chancellor
of ignoring a public | 0:15:45 | 0:15:47 | |
sector funding crisis. | 0:15:47 | 0:15:48 | |
Here's our political
editor, Laura Kuennsberg. | 0:15:48 | 0:15:51 | |
Is there anybody out there? | 0:15:51 | 0:15:55 | |
Number Eleven didn't want us to pay
that much attention. | 0:15:55 | 0:15:58 | |
No fuss, no frills. | 0:15:58 | 0:16:01 | |
REPORTER: Do you have good
news today, Chancellor? | 0:16:01 | 0:16:04 | |
Only the Chancellor
slipping off to work. | 0:16:04 | 0:16:08 | |
THE SPEAKER: Statement,
the Chancellor of the Exchequer. | 0:16:08 | 0:16:12 | |
But what was this, a cheery
Philip Hammond rushing to his place? | 0:16:12 | 0:16:17 | |
If there are any Eeyores
in the chamber, they're over there. | 0:16:17 | 0:16:25 | |
I, meanwhile, am at my most
positively Tigger-like today. | 0:16:26 | 0:16:30 | |
Not much has changed
from the world outside. | 0:16:30 | 0:16:33 | |
True, the economy will grow
a little bit faster. | 0:16:33 | 0:16:36 | |
The debt will start to fall, just. | 0:16:36 | 0:16:39 | |
The day-to-day deficit,
remember that, it's gone. | 0:16:39 | 0:16:45 | |
But compared to other countries,
the economy is sluggish and slow. | 0:16:45 | 0:16:48 | |
Spending will stay stay tight. | 0:16:48 | 0:16:49 | |
I do not agree with those who argue
that every available penny must be | 0:16:49 | 0:16:52 | |
used to reduce the deficit. | 0:16:52 | 0:17:00 | |
And nor do I agree with the fantasts
opposite who argue that every | 0:17:01 | 0:17:05 | |
available penny should
be spent immediately. | 0:17:05 | 0:17:06 | |
But a glimmer for
the end of the year. | 0:17:06 | 0:17:09 | |
If, in the Autumn, the public
finances continue to reflect | 0:17:09 | 0:17:16 | |
the improvements that today's report
hints at, then, in accordance | 0:17:16 | 0:17:19 | |
with our balanced approach,
I would have capacity to enable | 0:17:19 | 0:17:21 | |
further increases
in public spending. | 0:17:21 | 0:17:22 | |
That might have delighted his side. | 0:17:22 | 0:17:24 | |
THE SPEAKER: John McDonnell. | 0:17:24 | 0:17:25 | |
But Labour accused him of not
being in the real world. | 0:17:25 | 0:17:30 | |
Hasn't he listened to the doctors,
the nurses, the teachers, | 0:17:30 | 0:17:36 | |
the police officers,
the carers and even his own | 0:17:36 | 0:17:38 | |
councillors, they're telling him
they can't wait for the next budget. | 0:17:38 | 0:17:41 | |
They're telling him to act now. | 0:17:41 | 0:17:43 | |
But is he listening? | 0:17:43 | 0:17:51 | |
This is the eighth year,
the eighth year in a row | 0:17:51 | 0:17:54 | |
when a Conservative Chancellor has
said to the public that dealing | 0:17:54 | 0:17:57 | |
with the accounts is more important
than what they might feel they need. | 0:17:57 | 0:18:04 | |
Well, I hear what you're saying
Laura, but the facts | 0:18:04 | 0:18:06 | |
speak for themselves. | 0:18:06 | 0:18:09 | |
I've put £11 billion,
this is just what I've done, | 0:18:09 | 0:18:12 | |
since I've been Chancellor,
£11 billion additionally into public | 0:18:12 | 0:18:14 | |
spending in 2018-19 and have
promised to put more | 0:18:14 | 0:18:16 | |
into the National Health Service
this year if we get a deal on pay. | 0:18:16 | 0:18:19 | |
Many of your colleagues now believe
that the evidence is overwhelming | 0:18:19 | 0:18:22 | |
for more money to go into the NHS
in the longer term? | 0:18:22 | 0:18:29 | |
Well, the evidence is
clearly there that our | 0:18:29 | 0:18:31 | |
population is getting older. | 0:18:31 | 0:18:32 | |
That technology is developing
in a way that makes more and more | 0:18:32 | 0:18:35 | |
interventions possible,
and indeed desirable | 0:18:35 | 0:18:37 | |
in the health service. | 0:18:37 | 0:18:38 | |
That does represent
a continuous upward pressure. | 0:18:38 | 0:18:44 | |
Is the Cabinet at the moment
discussing how to find more money | 0:18:44 | 0:18:47 | |
for the health service,
as some of your | 0:18:47 | 0:18:49 | |
colleagues have told me? | 0:18:49 | 0:18:50 | |
This is my responsibility
to look at these things, | 0:18:50 | 0:18:52 | |
but of course we look
at all these issues. | 0:18:52 | 0:18:57 | |
As we approach the budget
in the autumn and then | 0:18:57 | 0:19:00 | |
the spending review in 2019,
of course we will look at all these | 0:19:00 | 0:19:03 | |
pressures across the piece. | 0:19:03 | 0:19:04 | |
Not good enough for these opponents
This is a Chancellor asleep at the | 0:19:04 | 0:19:09 | |
wheel. He had to show he was
prepared to take action. In nothing | 0:19:09 | 0:19:14 | |
in that statement creates
confidence. The only solution is for | 0:19:14 | 0:19:19 | |
us to get the full portfolio of
economic powers, devolved to Wales. | 0:19:19 | 0:19:24 | |
What the Chancellor should have done
I think is to be much more open and | 0:19:24 | 0:19:27 | |
honest with the public and say there
is no more p public money for public | 0:19:27 | 0:19:33 | |
services, which is badly needed, we
will have to have an increase in | 0:19:33 | 0:19:37 | |
taxation to pay for it. Not
admissions the Government is ready | 0:19:37 | 0:19:40 | |
to make. Hard choices that will
linger long after today. Along with | 0:19:40 | 0:19:44 | |
the Brexit bill, revealed to be
hanging around until 2064. Spring | 0:19:44 | 0:19:50 | |
has not yet really sprung. Laura
Kuenssberg, BBC News, Westminster. | 0:19:50 | 0:19:58 | |
Well, the Chancellor described
himself as positively tigger | 0:19:58 | 0:20:00 | |
like about the economy today. | 0:20:00 | 0:20:01 | |
How much reason does
he have to be cheerful? | 0:20:01 | 0:20:03 | |
Our economics editor, Kamal Ahmed,
has been looking at the figures. | 0:20:03 | 0:20:06 | |
The verdict? Yes, he was at his
Tiggerish best. The data, there is | 0:20:06 | 0:20:13 | |
evidence for the Eeyores around him.
The reasons for that are multitude. | 0:20:13 | 0:20:17 | |
Some of the better news is that
borrowing is better and growth is | 0:20:17 | 0:20:21 | |
better. Inflation is coming down.
Wages are starting to go up. There | 0:20:21 | 0:20:25 | |
could be a reversal of that living
squeeze that so many people have | 0:20:25 | 0:20:29 | |
been suffering over recent years.
That is the better news. For the | 0:20:29 | 0:20:33 | |
Eeyores there is this big challenge.
It's a big challenge for the | 0:20:33 | 0:20:37 | |
Chancellor. The new normal for
growth in the UK is 1.5%. That is | 0:20:37 | 0:20:44 | |
well below the 2% to 2.5% we used to
enjoy. The OECD brought it into | 0:20:44 | 0:20:51 | |
sharp relief. It said Britain's
growth next year would be at the | 0:20:51 | 0:20:56 | |
bottom of the G20 leading
industrialised nations. We used to | 0:20:56 | 0:20:59 | |
be at the top. That is the big
challenge for Philip Hammond, growth | 0:20:59 | 0:21:04 | |
that is not as strong as it used to
be. Less income for the Government. | 0:21:04 | 0:21:08 | |
Less ability to spend money on those
big challenges of health, defence | 0:21:08 | 0:21:11 | |
and the police. Thank you. | 0:21:11 | 0:21:19 | |
A teenager accused of planting
a bomb on a Tube train | 0:21:19 | 0:21:22 | |
at Parsons Green in London has said
it became a fantasy | 0:21:22 | 0:21:24 | |
for him when he was bored
during the school holidays. | 0:21:24 | 0:21:27 | |
Ahmed Hassan admitted building
the device that partially | 0:21:27 | 0:21:29 | |
detonated last September,
but denies attempted murder. | 0:21:29 | 0:21:30 | |
He told the court the idea
of being chased by police was "very | 0:21:30 | 0:21:33 | |
attractive" and he wanted attention. | 0:21:33 | 0:21:38 | |
Two victims of the serial sex
attacker John Worboys have | 0:21:38 | 0:21:41 | |
taken their case to the High Court. | 0:21:41 | 0:21:42 | |
They're challenging a decision
by the Parole Board to release | 0:21:42 | 0:21:45 | |
the former taxi driver from prison. | 0:21:45 | 0:21:46 | |
Worboys has served 10 years in jail
for attacks on 12 women in London. | 0:21:46 | 0:21:50 | |
Tom Burridge was in court. | 0:21:50 | 0:21:55 | |
John Worboys tricked and drugged
young women. Just eight years ago, | 0:21:55 | 0:22:00 | |
he was jailed indefinitely for one
rape and several assaults in the | 0:22:00 | 0:22:03 | |
back of his taxi. When the Parole
Board announced earlier this year he | 0:22:03 | 0:22:08 | |
was to be released, it caused
outrage especially among his | 0:22:08 | 0:22:12 | |
victims. Now, two women he attacked
are hoping to overturn that | 0:22:12 | 0:22:18 | |
decision. One of them was in the
High Court today with war boys | 0:22:18 | 0:22:23 | |
appearing via videolink as we learnt
why the Parole Board thought he was | 0:22:23 | 0:22:27 | |
fit for release. It believed war
boys had become "open and honest." | 0:22:27 | 0:22:32 | |
That he had taken "full
responsibility for his offences" and | 0:22:32 | 0:22:37 | |
he had, the Parole Board thought,
"shown insight into factors could | 0:22:37 | 0:22:43 | |
cause him to re-offend." The case
put forward by the victims' | 0:22:43 | 0:22:47 | |
barrister painted a very Devon
different picture. He said that he | 0:22:47 | 0:22:53 | |
had still only admitted the attacks
on 12 women for which he was | 0:22:53 | 0:22:57 | |
convicted. She presented graphic
evidence to back up the police's | 0:22:57 | 0:23:01 | |
assertion he actually raped and
assaulted more than 100 women. | 0:23:01 | 0:23:05 | |
According to these court documents,
as recent as September, prison | 0:23:05 | 0:23:10 | |
officials decided to keep Worboys in
a category A prison because he was | 0:23:10 | 0:23:15 | |
deemed of sufficient risk. That was
just three months before the Parole | 0:23:15 | 0:23:20 | |
Board decided he should be released.
Those campaigning on behalf of | 0:23:20 | 0:23:26 | |
Worboys' victims say vital evidence
was ignored. We heard in court today | 0:23:26 | 0:23:29 | |
that the Parole Board didn't listen
to the women who had been raped by | 0:23:29 | 0:23:34 | |
John Worboys or look at any evidence
from the trial or the judge's | 0:23:34 | 0:23:37 | |
finding that hes with a risk to
empiano. It looks like the Parole | 0:23:37 | 0:23:41 | |
Board's decision was completely
irrational to release John Worboys | 0:23:41 | 0:23:44 | |
and it's good we are able it review
that decision now. The Parole Board | 0:23:44 | 0:23:49 | |
will present its case over why this
conle convicted rapist was ready for | 0:23:49 | 0:23:53 | |
release. The reasoning behind such
decisions is normally kept secret. | 0:23:53 | 0:23:57 | |
This case has raised questions over
whether that should change. Tom | 0:23:57 | 0:24:02 | |
Burridge, BBC News, at the High
Court. | 0:24:02 | 0:24:07 | |
Disney's new film, A Wrinkle in
Time, premieres in London tonight. | 0:24:07 | 0:24:10 | |
The film, which stars Oprah Winfrey
and Reese Witherspoon, | 0:24:10 | 0:24:12 | |
is already topping the box
office in America. | 0:24:12 | 0:24:15 | |
And what makes this film different
is that it's the first time a black | 0:24:15 | 0:24:21 | |
woman has directed such a big
budget film, costing | 0:24:21 | 0:24:23 | |
more than $100 million. | 0:24:23 | 0:24:24 | |
But Ava DuVernay says for her it's
a bittersweet moment. | 0:24:24 | 0:24:27 | |
Our reporter, Chi Chi Izundu,
went to meet her. | 0:24:27 | 0:24:29 | |
Your father has accomplished
something extraordinary. | 0:24:29 | 0:24:33 | |
Based on the 1962 fantasy novel,
A Wrinkle in Time tells the story | 0:24:33 | 0:24:38 | |
of a young teenage girl whose
scientist father goes missing | 0:24:38 | 0:24:42 | |
and it's down to her to find him
and save the universe. | 0:24:42 | 0:24:49 | |
And the only one who
can stop it - is you. | 0:24:50 | 0:24:53 | |
Wrinkle currently holds the number
two spot at the US box office. | 0:24:53 | 0:24:56 | |
Start over, and we'll burn it all. | 0:24:56 | 0:25:04 | |
In at number one is the Marvel
epic Black Panther, | 0:25:06 | 0:25:08 | |
which has also just surpassed
the $1 billion mark worldwide. | 0:25:08 | 0:25:10 | |
To the rest of the world. | 0:25:10 | 0:25:12 | |
Plus, it's the first time in history
that two black directors | 0:25:12 | 0:25:15 | |
with budgets over $100 million have
ever taken the top two | 0:25:15 | 0:25:17 | |
spots at the box office. | 0:25:17 | 0:25:20 | |
An achievement the Wrinkle
director, Ava DuVernay, | 0:25:20 | 0:25:22 | |
has described as bitter sweet. | 0:25:22 | 0:25:26 | |
There are amazing women
throughout history of cinema | 0:25:26 | 0:25:28 | |
who were black women,
women of colour, who should have had | 0:25:28 | 0:25:31 | |
these opportunities,
but Hollywood and the industry | 0:25:31 | 0:25:37 | |
didn't give them the opportunities. | 0:25:37 | 0:25:41 | |
So because Hollywood has decided
to give me the opportunity, | 0:25:41 | 0:25:43 | |
it doesn't really have to do
anything with me, it has | 0:25:43 | 0:25:46 | |
to do with the time. | 0:25:46 | 0:25:47 | |
So it's bittersweet when we hear
about some of these | 0:25:47 | 0:25:49 | |
firsts happening in 2018. | 0:25:49 | 0:25:50 | |
Do you think Hollywood's changed
towards people of colour | 0:25:50 | 0:25:53 | |
being forefront and centre of film? | 0:25:53 | 0:25:54 | |
Changing, not changed. | 0:25:54 | 0:25:55 | |
Changed means it's done
and it's happened. | 0:25:55 | 0:25:57 | |
That's certainly not the case. | 0:25:57 | 0:25:58 | |
But changing, I hope so. | 0:25:58 | 0:26:01 | |
That hope is turning into a reality. | 0:26:01 | 0:26:03 | |
Since the start of her career,
Ava has insisted on a diverse cast | 0:26:03 | 0:26:07 | |
and crew, something other production
houses and actors are | 0:26:07 | 0:26:11 | |
now actively including
in their contracts in Hollywood. | 0:26:11 | 0:26:16 | |
Here we're here trying to make
something that loves a wider | 0:26:16 | 0:26:19 | |
audience and we say,
we love you back - if you're a girl, | 0:26:19 | 0:26:22 | |
if you're a person of colour,
if you're a Caucasian boy, | 0:26:22 | 0:26:25 | |
if you're a south east Asian woman,
if you're a Filipino boy. | 0:26:25 | 0:26:28 | |
We have everybody in this film
because we want the film to love | 0:26:28 | 0:26:32 | |
everyone so they can see a bit
of themselves in it. | 0:26:32 | 0:26:35 | |
Chi Chi Izundu, BBC News. | 0:26:35 | 0:26:36 | |
Time for a look at the weather.
Here's Ben Rich. | 0:26:36 | 0:26:39 | |
Time for a look at the weather.
Here's Ben Rich. | 0:26:39 | 0:26:41 | |
More snow on the way? Yeah not until
the weekend and not for everyone. | 0:26:41 | 0:26:46 | |
Will firm up on the details of where
the snow will fall. Today many of us | 0:26:46 | 0:26:51 | |
got to enjoy sunshine across western
parts of the UK. This picture came | 0:26:51 | 0:26:56 | |
to us from a weather watcher from
Helensburgh, blue skies overhead. | 0:26:56 | 0:27:02 | |
You can see from the satellite
picture the eastern side of Scotland | 0:27:02 | 0:27:06 | |
and eastern side of England had more
cloud. It produced the odd shower. | 0:27:06 | 0:27:11 | |
For most places the cloud has been
breaking up. So, as we go through | 0:27:11 | 0:27:15 | |
tonight, for central and eastern
areas where we keep clear skies | 0:27:15 | 0:27:20 | |
temperatures will dip away, close to
freezing. Some spots just below. A | 0:27:20 | 0:27:24 | |
touch of frost and mist patches as
well. Out west the beginnings of a | 0:27:24 | 0:27:28 | |
change. Thickening cloud, outbreaks
of rain and strengthening winds as | 0:27:28 | 0:27:33 | |
well. This area of low pressure will
be working its way in from the west | 0:27:33 | 0:27:37 | |
as we go into tomorrow morning.
Strong winds, which could touch gale | 0:27:37 | 0:27:41 | |
force in western areas, but those
winds coming from a mild place. Very | 0:27:41 | 0:27:47 | |
mild air moving across the country.
Whereas today the western areas had | 0:27:47 | 0:27:51 | |
the best of the brightness it will
be eastern areas with the best of | 0:27:51 | 0:27:55 | |
the brightingness. Eastern Scotland
and eastern England holding on to | 0:27:55 | 0:28:00 | |
sunshine which will turn hazy.
Further west a different story. For | 0:28:00 | 0:28:04 | |
the south-west of England persistent
rain that could cause flooding and | 0:28:04 | 0:28:09 | |
travel issues. That will fringe into
Wales and Northern Ireland could see | 0:28:09 | 0:28:13 | |
disruption from that persistent
rain. Across western areas there | 0:28:13 | 0:28:17 | |
will be strong winds, touching gale
force in the most exposed spots. All | 0:28:17 | 0:28:21 | |
the while those pars parts of
northern and eastern Scotland, | 0:28:21 | 0:28:24 | |
central and eastern England holding
on to the hazy sunshine. With the | 0:28:24 | 0:28:29 | |
mild air from the south 12 degrees
in Edinburgh and 14 in London. Don't | 0:28:29 | 0:28:33 | |
get used to temperatures like those.
As we head through the coming days | 0:28:33 | 0:28:36 | |
the temperatures slowly dipping
away. The north you see on Thursday | 0:28:36 | 0:28:40 | |
and Friday temperatures in Edinburgh
down to eight, seven, six degrees. | 0:28:40 | 0:28:45 | |
By the weekend significantly colder
wherever you are. There is the | 0:28:45 | 0:28:49 | |
potential for some snow. As I I said
at the start we have to keep a close | 0:28:49 | 0:28:55 | |
eye on the exact details of where. | 0:28:55 | 0:28:58 | |
at the start we have to keep a close
eye on the exact details of where. | 0:28:58 | 0:29:00 | |
Our main story. President Trump
gives Theresa May his full support | 0:29:00 | 0:29:06 | |
and says Russia must provide
unambiguous answers about what | 0:29:06 | 0:29:08 | |
happened. That's it from us. | 0:29:08 | 0:29:12 |
