Police launch a murder inquiry
into the death of another | 0:00:00 | 0:00:02 | |
Russian exile in London. | 0:00:02 | 0:00:05 | |
Nikolai Glushkov, a Russian
businessman, was found dead | 0:00:05 | 0:00:07 | |
in his home on Monday. | 0:00:07 | 0:00:08 | |
It appears he was strangled. | 0:00:08 | 0:00:11 | |
Police are guarding his house. | 0:00:11 | 0:00:12 | |
They say there is nothing
to link his death to the poisoning | 0:00:12 | 0:00:15 | |
of the Russian spy Sergei Skripal. | 0:00:15 | 0:00:18 | |
With Mr Skripal and his daughter
still critical in hospital, | 0:00:18 | 0:00:21 | |
the Foreign Secretary blames
Vladimir Putin for the attack. | 0:00:21 | 0:00:25 | |
Our quarrel is with Putin's Kremlin,
and with his decision. | 0:00:25 | 0:00:29 | |
And we think it overwhelmingly
likely that it was his decision. | 0:00:29 | 0:00:34 | |
The Kremlin calls Mr Johnson's
comments shocking and unforgivable. | 0:00:34 | 0:00:36 | |
We'll bring you the latest
on this developing story. | 0:00:36 | 0:00:38 | |
Also tonight: | 0:00:38 | 0:00:42 | |
The Iraqi teenager found guilty
of the Parsons Green Tube bombing, | 0:00:42 | 0:00:44 | |
who was on the government's
counter-terror | 0:00:44 | 0:00:46 | |
programme at the time. | 0:00:46 | 0:00:49 | |
At least six people have been killed
in Miami after the collapse | 0:00:49 | 0:00:52 | |
of a bridge built in just six hours
less than a week ago. | 0:00:52 | 0:01:00 | |
And the women animators winning
awards and trying to encourage | 0:01:00 | 0:01:03 | |
other women to join them. | 0:01:03 | 0:01:06 | |
Coming up on Sportsday on BBC News,
Liverpool and Manchester City | 0:01:07 | 0:01:10 | |
will meet in the last eight
of the Champions League, | 0:01:10 | 0:01:12 | |
the first all-English
quarterfinal since 2011. | 0:01:12 | 0:01:13 | |
It is Liverpool
versus Manchester City. | 0:01:13 | 0:01:20 | |
Good evening and welcome
to the BBC News at Six. | 0:01:36 | 0:01:39 | |
A murder inquiry has been launched
into the death of a Russian | 0:01:39 | 0:01:42 | |
businessman in London on Monday. | 0:01:42 | 0:01:43 | |
A postmortem has concluded
Nikolai Glushkov died | 0:01:43 | 0:01:46 | |
from compression to the neck,
suggesting he was strangled. | 0:01:46 | 0:01:49 | |
Detectives say there's nothing
at this stage to link the murder | 0:01:49 | 0:01:51 | |
with the nerve agent attacks
in Salisbury of Sergei Skripal | 0:01:51 | 0:01:54 | |
and his daughter. | 0:01:54 | 0:01:56 | |
Boris Johnson says he believes it's
"overwhelmingly likely" that | 0:01:56 | 0:01:58 | |
President Putin was personally
responsible for ordering | 0:01:58 | 0:02:01 | |
the death of Mr Skripal. | 0:02:01 | 0:02:04 | |
The Kremlin has called his comments
shocking and unforgivable. | 0:02:04 | 0:02:07 | |
Our diplomatic correspondent
James Landale has more. | 0:02:07 | 0:02:15 | |
Boris Johnson brought the Polish
Foreign Minister to a Battle of | 0:02:17 | 0:02:22 | |
Britain Museum today, a memorial to
a war fought in the air. Every | 0:02:22 | 0:02:28 | |
single plane that Britain had was up
in the sky. The Foreign Secretary | 0:02:28 | 0:02:34 | |
used the opportunity to push forward
Britain's current battle with | 0:02:34 | 0:02:37 | |
Russia, fought this time over the
airwaves, blaming Vladimir Putin | 0:02:37 | 0:02:41 | |
personally for the nerve agent
attack in Salisbury. Our quarrel is | 0:02:41 | 0:02:46 | |
with Putin's Kremlin, and with his
decision. And we think it | 0:02:46 | 0:02:51 | |
overwhelmingly likely that it was
his decision to direct the use of a | 0:02:51 | 0:02:55 | |
nerve agent on the streets of the
UK, the streets of Europe, for the | 0:02:55 | 0:03:00 | |
first time since the Second World
War. That is why we are at odds with | 0:03:00 | 0:03:04 | |
Russia. The Kremlin spokesmen issued
an angry statement, saying that | 0:03:04 | 0:03:10 | |
mentioning President Putin's name in
connection with the attack was | 0:03:10 | 0:03:13 | |
shocking and unpardonable dramatic
misconduct. The Kremlin also | 0:03:13 | 0:03:18 | |
confirmed that some British
diplomats based at the embassy in | 0:03:18 | 0:03:21 | |
Moscow would be expelled, and that
an announcement could come at any | 0:03:21 | 0:03:24 | |
moment. It is retaliation for the
UK's decision to expel 23 Russian | 0:03:24 | 0:03:33 | |
intelligence officers who will leave
London next Tuesday. Again, Russia's | 0:03:33 | 0:03:37 | |
Foreign Minister denied any
involvement in the Salisbury attack. | 0:03:37 | 0:03:42 | |
TRANSLATION: I don't want to comment
on the current situation. Let it | 0:03:42 | 0:03:46 | |
stay on the conscience of those who
have started this shameless, | 0:03:46 | 0:03:53 | |
groundless business. And as for the
language of the Defence Secretary? | 0:03:53 | 0:03:58 | |
TRANSLATION: He says Russia should
go away and shut up. Maybe he lacks | 0:03:58 | 0:04:03 | |
education. I don't know. Officials
at the Foreign Office believe the | 0:04:03 | 0:04:08 | |
robustness of written's response and
the unity of the Western allies has | 0:04:08 | 0:04:12 | |
surprised Russia, and they say they
are ready for any retaliation coming | 0:04:12 | 0:04:16 | |
from Moscow. As one source said, we
have more stuff in the locker. But | 0:04:16 | 0:04:21 | |
amid the diplomatic war of words,
the Metropolitan Police announced | 0:04:21 | 0:04:25 | |
that a Russian businessman who had
been found dead at his South West | 0:04:25 | 0:04:28 | |
London home on Monday, had been
murdered. The 68 it rolled Nikolai | 0:04:28 | 0:04:34 | |
Glushkov was a former associate of
known opponents of President Putin. | 0:04:34 | 0:04:39 | |
Detectives said they were keeping an
open mind but there was nothing to | 0:04:39 | 0:04:42 | |
link his death to the nerve agent
attack. In Salisbury, two weeks on, | 0:04:42 | 0:04:47 | |
police were still in protective gear
in investigating the attempted | 0:04:47 | 0:04:51 | |
murder of the former Russian
intelligence officer Sergei Skripal | 0:04:51 | 0:04:55 | |
and his daughter, Yulia, still
making the streets safe. | 0:04:55 | 0:04:57 | |
Our security correspondent
Gordon Corera is with me now. | 0:04:57 | 0:04:59 | |
Nikolai Glushkov, an exiled Russian
businessman in London | 0:04:59 | 0:05:01 | |
with an intriguing past in Moscow. | 0:05:01 | 0:05:03 | |
What more can you tell us about him? | 0:05:03 | 0:05:08 | |
Nikolai Glushkov was found at his
home on Monday night, dead. The | 0:05:08 | 0:05:12 | |
initial thought was that he may have
taken his own life. But the police, | 0:05:12 | 0:05:20 | |
given his background, put the
Counterterrorism Command on the | 0:05:20 | 0:05:25 | |
investigation and there was a
special postmortem yesterday which | 0:05:25 | 0:05:27 | |
today brought back details of the
cause of death as compression of the | 0:05:27 | 0:05:31 | |
neck, suggesting another person may
have been involved. The context is | 0:05:31 | 0:05:36 | |
that Nikolai Glushkov was a
controversial businessman who had | 0:05:36 | 0:05:39 | |
been put on trial in Russia in his
absence for large-scale embezzlement | 0:05:39 | 0:05:42 | |
and fraud. In the UK, he was linked
to Boris Berezovsky, another | 0:05:42 | 0:05:47 | |
businessman who had come to the UK,
a critic of Vladimir Putin, and | 0:05:47 | 0:05:52 | |
himself died in 2013. Nikolai
Glushkov have thought that death was | 0:05:52 | 0:05:58 | |
suspicious. Those circumstances have
put Counterterrorism Command in | 0:05:58 | 0:06:02 | |
charge of the investigation, but
they are stressing that there is no | 0:06:02 | 0:06:04 | |
link that they have found to the
events in Salisbury, and no | 0:06:04 | 0:06:09 | |
suggestion of any kind of poisoning
in this context and this | 0:06:09 | 0:06:12 | |
investigation. But clearly they will
be taking it seriously because of | 0:06:12 | 0:06:18 | |
the wider context of concerns about
threats to Russians in the UK at the | 0:06:18 | 0:06:21 | |
moment. | 0:06:21 | 0:06:23 | |
Steve Rosenberg is in Moscow. | 0:06:23 | 0:06:24 | |
What's the latest reaction
there to the developments here? | 0:06:24 | 0:06:32 | |
Well, here, we are still waiting for
Russia's retaliation to UK | 0:06:32 | 0:06:39 | |
sanctions. The Kremlin spokesmen
this morning suggested that an | 0:06:39 | 0:06:41 | |
announcement could come at any
moment, but he said that hours ago, | 0:06:41 | 0:06:46 | |
and there is still nothing. It feels
as if Moscow is in no hurry to | 0:06:46 | 0:06:51 | |
reveal its response. What we have
been hearing today are Russian | 0:06:51 | 0:06:55 | |
officials criticising British
government ministers. The Kremlin | 0:06:55 | 0:06:59 | |
slammed Boris Johnson. The Russian
Foreign Minister said Gavin | 0:06:59 | 0:07:04 | |
Williamson, the Defence Secretary,
was a nice young man who lacked | 0:07:04 | 0:07:07 | |
education. Meanwhile, Moscow
continues to pump out all kinds of | 0:07:07 | 0:07:11 | |
conspiracy theories about the attack
in Salisbury, which appear designed | 0:07:11 | 0:07:17 | |
to spread confusion and to sow
doubt. On Russian TV today, one | 0:07:17 | 0:07:22 | |
Russian official claimed the nerve
agent used in Salisbury have been | 0:07:22 | 0:07:26 | |
produced not in Russia but in
Britain or America. We have heard | 0:07:26 | 0:07:30 | |
other Russian officials suggest that
this whole drama has been dreamt up | 0:07:30 | 0:07:33 | |
by the British government to
distract attention from the problems | 0:07:33 | 0:07:37 | |
of Brexit. Thank you. | 0:07:37 | 0:07:39 | |
Police say that 46 people have been
to Salisbury District Hospital | 0:07:39 | 0:07:42 | |
expressing concerns since
the attack, but none have been | 0:07:42 | 0:07:44 | |
admitted to hospital. | 0:07:44 | 0:07:45 | |
Investigators say they've identified
131 people who've potentially been | 0:07:45 | 0:07:47 | |
in contact with the nerve agent. | 0:07:47 | 0:07:50 | |
It's now 12 days since
the poisoning, and our correspondent | 0:07:50 | 0:07:54 | |
Duncan Kennedy is in Salisbury. | 0:07:54 | 0:07:55 | |
This will have had a sizeable
impact on the community | 0:07:55 | 0:07:57 | |
and local businesses. | 0:07:57 | 0:08:05 | |
Very much so, Fiona. Those numbers
showed just how many people have | 0:08:06 | 0:08:13 | |
been caught up in this incident over
the past two weeks. Yet again | 0:08:13 | 0:08:17 | |
tonight there is police activity all
over Salisbury. All of that activity | 0:08:17 | 0:08:22 | |
has led to a drop in the numbers
coming into Salisbury and is having | 0:08:22 | 0:08:25 | |
a negative affect on some of the
businesses here, although the city | 0:08:25 | 0:08:29 | |
says it is open and safe. | 0:08:29 | 0:08:32 | |
It has been an extraordinary two
weeks for the 50,000 people of | 0:08:32 | 0:08:35 | |
Salisbury, a city that attracts
4 million visitors to its medieval | 0:08:35 | 0:08:39 | |
riches, but a city now redefined
by its connection with espionage and | 0:08:39 | 0:08:42 | |
poison. | 0:08:42 | 0:08:47 | |
The unwanted attention
is harming local businesses, | 0:08:47 | 0:08:49 | |
like this fudge shop. | 0:08:49 | 0:08:53 | |
It is half a mile from the scene
of the nerve agent attack. | 0:08:53 | 0:08:56 | |
Even here, customers
have disappeared. | 0:08:56 | 0:08:59 | |
We're at least two thirds
down in terms of taking. | 0:08:59 | 0:09:01 | |
The street are pretty much empty. | 0:09:01 | 0:09:07 | |
Charity shops are also suffering. | 0:09:07 | 0:09:10 | |
This one helps children
with life-threatening illnesses. | 0:09:10 | 0:09:14 | |
Sales are down 70%.
Just how bad is business? | 0:09:14 | 0:09:19 | |
These little children rely
on our little shops to actually make | 0:09:19 | 0:09:21 | |
a difference to them. | 0:09:21 | 0:09:27 | |
So I really need to try and get
all the customers back in. | 0:09:27 | 0:09:31 | |
Even the homeless are feeling
helpless because of | 0:09:31 | 0:09:33 | |
the drop in numbers. | 0:09:33 | 0:09:35 | |
How much fewer people
do think are coming? | 0:09:35 | 0:09:38 | |
50%. | 0:09:38 | 0:09:39 | |
50%, yes, definitely. | 0:09:39 | 0:09:42 | |
What does that mean
for what you earn? | 0:09:42 | 0:09:44 | |
I don't earn much at all.
Not much at all. | 0:09:44 | 0:09:48 | |
Last night, local
councillors agreed a | 0:09:48 | 0:09:51 | |
package of measures to help
the city, including | 0:09:51 | 0:09:53 | |
free park-and-ride. | 0:09:53 | 0:09:58 | |
Most here say the police presence
doesn't bother them. | 0:09:58 | 0:10:06 | |
Seeing all this police activity
wouldn't stop you coming? | 0:10:09 | 0:10:11 | |
No, not at all. | 0:10:11 | 0:10:12 | |
I hope it doesn't put
people off using the | 0:10:12 | 0:10:14 | |
local businesses. | 0:10:14 | 0:10:15 | |
You don't have any worries
walking around the city? | 0:10:15 | 0:10:18 | |
No, none at all.
I'm fine with it. | 0:10:18 | 0:10:20 | |
This city may be at the centre
of an unprecedented investigation. | 0:10:20 | 0:10:23 | |
But the message it wants
to give is that it | 0:10:23 | 0:10:25 | |
is safe and open. | 0:10:25 | 0:10:26 | |
An Iraqi teenager, who sought asylum
in the UK as a child, | 0:10:26 | 0:10:28 | |
has been found guilty
of the London Tube bombing | 0:10:28 | 0:10:31 | |
at Parson's Green. | 0:10:31 | 0:10:32 | |
18-year-old Ahmed Hassan
left his bomb on a packed | 0:10:32 | 0:10:34 | |
Underground train during rush hour. | 0:10:34 | 0:10:35 | |
The device only partially detonated,
but injured 50 people. | 0:10:35 | 0:10:37 | |
It's emerged that Hassan
was on the government's | 0:10:37 | 0:10:39 | |
de-radicalisation programme,
Prevent, while he was | 0:10:39 | 0:10:42 | |
plotting the attack. | 0:10:42 | 0:10:44 | |
The government says
there are lessons to be | 0:10:44 | 0:10:46 | |
learned from the case. | 0:10:46 | 0:10:47 | |
June Kelly reports. | 0:10:47 | 0:10:50 | |
Ahmed Hassan buying batteries
and screwdrivers in Asda - | 0:10:50 | 0:10:54 | |
everyday items but, for a violent
extremist, part | 0:10:54 | 0:10:57 | |
of his bomb-making kit. | 0:10:57 | 0:10:59 | |
He's asked for ID. | 0:10:59 | 0:11:01 | |
He may have looked young but Hassan
is said to be mature, highly | 0:11:01 | 0:11:04 | |
intelligent and calculating. | 0:11:04 | 0:11:08 | |
CCTV cameras captured
his journey as the | 0:11:08 | 0:11:10 | |
following morning he left home early
with his bomb in a bag and a | 0:11:10 | 0:11:14 | |
murderous plan in his head. | 0:11:14 | 0:11:19 | |
He was setting off to cause carnage
on the London Underground system. | 0:11:19 | 0:11:25 | |
He made for a train and then,
a few stops down the District Line, | 0:11:25 | 0:11:28 | |
he got off, empty-handed,
his bomb on a timer left behind. | 0:11:28 | 0:11:32 | |
Just after the train pulled
into Parsons Green station, | 0:11:32 | 0:11:35 | |
the bomb detonated, creating
a massive fireball which rolled | 0:11:35 | 0:11:37 | |
down the carriage. | 0:11:37 | 0:11:44 | |
Passengers were left burning
and screaming in pain. | 0:11:44 | 0:11:46 | |
A gassy flare ran up
above my head, singed my hair. | 0:11:46 | 0:11:50 | |
There was panic all
around me on the train. | 0:11:50 | 0:11:53 | |
People were diving off the train. | 0:11:53 | 0:11:58 | |
Fortunately the doors
were open so I managed to | 0:11:58 | 0:12:00 | |
get off the train. | 0:12:00 | 0:12:01 | |
My initial reaction
was that there was a fault | 0:12:01 | 0:12:03 | |
on the train rather than a device. | 0:12:03 | 0:12:05 | |
Hassan had strapped
shrapnel to the device - | 0:12:05 | 0:12:07 | |
nuts, bolts, screws and knives
to cause maximum death and injury. | 0:12:07 | 0:12:13 | |
It was said to be pure luck that his
bomb only partially exploded. | 0:12:13 | 0:12:16 | |
This computer-generated graphic
shows the scene in the | 0:12:16 | 0:12:18 | |
carriage after the attack. | 0:12:18 | 0:12:21 | |
He had used the explosive TATP,
known as Mother of Satan. | 0:12:21 | 0:12:27 | |
At Parsons Green a major emergency
operation got under way. | 0:12:27 | 0:12:32 | |
Terrified passengers
were taken off the train, | 0:12:32 | 0:12:34 | |
injured commuters carried out
of the station. | 0:12:34 | 0:12:36 | |
Meanwhile, the teenage bomber left
London and went on the run. | 0:12:36 | 0:12:41 | |
The year before he declared
it was his duty to hate Britain | 0:12:41 | 0:12:44 | |
because his father had been killed
by coalition forces in Iraq. | 0:12:44 | 0:12:48 | |
At the time of his attack
he was on the government's | 0:12:48 | 0:12:51 | |
de-radicalisation programme,
Prevent, aimed at turning people | 0:12:51 | 0:12:52 | |
away from terrorism. | 0:12:52 | 0:12:59 | |
He was very cunning and devious and,
on the face of it, Hassan | 0:12:59 | 0:13:02 | |
was engaged on the programme
but coming back to his devious | 0:13:02 | 0:13:05 | |
nature, he kept it very secretive
in relation to what he was doing, | 0:13:05 | 0:13:08 | |
what he was planning,
and nobody around him actually | 0:13:08 | 0:13:10 | |
knew what his plot was. | 0:13:10 | 0:13:13 | |
24 hours on from the attack,
firearms officers were surrounding | 0:13:13 | 0:13:16 | |
Hassan's house in Sunbury in Surrey. | 0:13:16 | 0:13:21 | |
Inside were his petrified
elderly foster parents, | 0:13:21 | 0:13:23 | |
Penny and Ron Jones. | 0:13:23 | 0:13:24 | |
This was a couple who had received
MBEs from the Queen for fostering | 0:13:24 | 0:13:27 | |
hundreds of children. | 0:13:27 | 0:13:30 | |
Ahmed Hassan repaid them
for giving him a home by secretly | 0:13:30 | 0:13:32 | |
building a bomb in their kitchen. | 0:13:32 | 0:13:36 | |
And it came out in court that
the teenager staying in their spare | 0:13:36 | 0:13:39 | |
bedroom had told immigration
officials he had been kidnapped and | 0:13:39 | 0:13:42 | |
trained to kill by the
Islamic State group. | 0:13:42 | 0:13:46 | |
It is understood the Joneses
were not given his full story. | 0:13:46 | 0:13:50 | |
After the bombing,
Hassan headed for Dover. | 0:13:50 | 0:13:54 | |
He was arrested as he tried to flee
the country which had given | 0:13:54 | 0:13:57 | |
him a home and an education
but for which he felt only hatred. | 0:13:57 | 0:14:01 | |
He will be sentenced next week. | 0:14:01 | 0:14:09 | |
How was it that a programmme
designed to prevent him taking part | 0:14:09 | 0:14:11 | |
in terror activity failed to spot
that he was planning a terror | 0:14:11 | 0:14:14 | |
attack at that very time? | 0:14:14 | 0:14:20 | |
It is extraordinary. From his first
immigration interview alarm bells | 0:14:20 | 0:14:24 | |
were ringing over Hassan. He said he
had been trained to kill by Islamic | 0:14:24 | 0:14:28 | |
State fighters. He was caught
looking at IS propaganda on his | 0:14:28 | 0:14:33 | |
phone, and was understood to have
sent money to them, and he told his | 0:14:33 | 0:14:36 | |
tutor it was his duty to hate
Britain. He was then under the | 0:14:36 | 0:14:42 | |
control of Surrey County Council,
who were looking after his welfare, | 0:14:42 | 0:14:45 | |
and they decided he was a candidate
for the government de-radicalisation | 0:14:45 | 0:14:50 | |
programme, Prevent. But we are told
he did not have a specialist | 0:14:50 | 0:14:53 | |
mentors. So at the same time as he
was seemingly engaged on the | 0:14:53 | 0:14:58 | |
programme, he was building a bomb.
Surrey County Council have | 0:14:58 | 0:15:02 | |
apologised for shortcomings, saying
lessons have been learned and | 0:15:02 | 0:15:05 | |
improvements made. They have also
apologised to the foster couple. | 0:15:05 | 0:15:09 | |
They say they were told about his
background. We have been told they | 0:15:09 | 0:15:13 | |
were not given the full picture. | 0:15:13 | 0:15:15 | |
South Africa's former president
Jacob Zuma is to face prosecution | 0:15:15 | 0:15:17 | |
for 16 charges of corruption
relating to a multi-billion dollar | 0:15:17 | 0:15:20 | |
arms deal before he took office. | 0:15:20 | 0:15:23 | |
The charges, which Mr Zuma denies,
include counts of fraud, | 0:15:23 | 0:15:25 | |
racketeering and money laundering. | 0:15:25 | 0:15:27 | |
Mr Zuma was forced
to resign last month. | 0:15:27 | 0:15:34 | |
Syria's government is urging people
to leave the last rebel-held | 0:15:34 | 0:15:37 | |
areas of Eastern Ghouta,
as thousands flee for their lives. | 0:15:37 | 0:15:43 | |
Dozens have died in renewed
shelling, and the Syrian army says | 0:15:43 | 0:15:46 | |
it has retaken 70% of
the territory from the rebels. | 0:15:46 | 0:15:49 | |
Some 20,000 people have been
forced from their homes. | 0:15:49 | 0:15:55 | |
In Florida, at least six people have
been killed after a newly built | 0:15:55 | 0:15:58 | |
bridge collapsed onto a busy
road in Miami. | 0:15:58 | 0:16:00 | |
The bridge had been put up in six
hours just six days ago | 0:16:00 | 0:16:03 | |
using a method called "accelerated
construction" to avoid | 0:16:03 | 0:16:05 | |
traffic disruption. | 0:16:05 | 0:16:11 | |
Ten people have been taken
to hospital, and the emergency | 0:16:11 | 0:16:13 | |
services have been working
at the scene since last night. | 0:16:13 | 0:16:15 | |
Here's how the disaster unfolded. | 0:16:15 | 0:16:18 | |
The bridge at FIU just
collapsed out of nowhere. | 0:16:20 | 0:16:22 | |
There's cars stuck under there. | 0:16:22 | 0:16:29 | |
We tried to get people
out but we couldn't. | 0:16:38 | 0:16:40 | |
They were all stuck. | 0:16:40 | 0:16:43 | |
Two construction workers also
fell from the crane. | 0:16:43 | 0:16:45 | |
I mean, it was horrible,
it was a disaster. | 0:16:45 | 0:16:48 | |
What I saw was it slowly coming
down, and the dust and the cement | 0:16:48 | 0:16:52 | |
just shattering on top of the cars. | 0:16:52 | 0:16:58 | |
We exhausted last night
all of our search and rescue | 0:17:07 | 0:17:11 | |
capabilities in the hopes
of finding additional survivors. | 0:17:11 | 0:17:15 | |
We used auditory, we used visual,
we used our canines, | 0:17:15 | 0:17:20 | |
and we determined that there is no
longer any survivors. | 0:17:20 | 0:17:22 | |
That's why we transitioned
into this recovery mode. | 0:17:22 | 0:17:28 | |
The time is just after a quarter
past six. | 0:17:35 | 0:17:38 | |
Our top story this evening... | 0:17:38 | 0:17:40 | |
Police have launched a murder
inquiry into the death | 0:17:40 | 0:17:42 | |
of a Russian businessman,
apparently strangled | 0:17:42 | 0:17:43 | |
in his London home. | 0:17:43 | 0:17:44 | |
And still to come... | 0:17:44 | 0:17:48 | |
The three-mile duel that
saw Native River win | 0:17:48 | 0:17:50 | |
the Gold Cup at Cheltenham. | 0:17:50 | 0:17:53 | |
Coming up in Six Nations Sports
Direct later we look at the final | 0:17:56 | 0:18:01 | |
weekend in this year's tournament
with Ireland the champions but can | 0:18:01 | 0:18:06 | |
they do the grand slam -- sports
day. | 0:18:06 | 0:18:11 | |
It's an industry that's estimated
to generate more than £300 million | 0:18:14 | 0:18:16 | |
a year and it's growing fast. | 0:18:16 | 0:18:18 | |
And last night, the best
in the animation industry were | 0:18:18 | 0:18:21 | |
celebrated at their annual awards. | 0:18:21 | 0:18:23 | |
A record number of women
were nominated this year. | 0:18:23 | 0:18:27 | |
One of the winners, Paloma Baeza,
believes more needs to be done | 0:18:27 | 0:18:30 | |
to encourage young women
to be animators. | 0:18:30 | 0:18:32 | |
Chi Chi Izundu went to meet her. | 0:18:32 | 0:18:36 | |
Hiya! | 0:18:36 | 0:18:39 | |
It's an enemies to friends story. | 0:18:39 | 0:18:41 | |
So nice to finally
have some company. | 0:18:41 | 0:18:44 | |
A polar bear and a grizzly bear
forced into survival together | 0:18:44 | 0:18:47 | |
because of their changing
environments. | 0:18:47 | 0:18:48 | |
We could team up! | 0:18:48 | 0:18:49 | |
Four paws better than two, right? | 0:18:49 | 0:18:53 | |
But this year's winner
for the favourite film | 0:18:53 | 0:18:55 | |
at the British Animation Awards says
it's important more women | 0:18:55 | 0:18:58 | |
in the industry are given
opportunity to create. | 0:18:58 | 0:19:01 | |
Young women coming up,
even little girls coming up feel | 0:19:01 | 0:19:05 | |
that this is something
that is achievable. | 0:19:05 | 0:19:09 | |
So it is important,
it is important because it puts it | 0:19:09 | 0:19:13 | |
there as a possibility as opposed
to feeling swamped in a world | 0:19:13 | 0:19:18 | |
where it feels unattainable. | 0:19:18 | 0:19:21 | |
According to 2017 figures,
the animation industry | 0:19:21 | 0:19:24 | |
employs around 7750 people. | 0:19:24 | 0:19:26 | |
Out of that number, just
over 2300 are women. | 0:19:26 | 0:19:31 | |
But look at the percentage
of creators in comparison to back | 0:19:31 | 0:19:34 | |
office roles for women -
only 21% are animators. | 0:19:34 | 0:19:37 | |
The rest work in distribution,
sales and marketing. | 0:19:37 | 0:19:42 | |
Demand for animation is increasing
with the growing popularity | 0:19:42 | 0:19:45 | |
of streaming and immersive
experiences like augmented reality | 0:19:45 | 0:19:47 | |
and virtual reality. | 0:19:47 | 0:19:51 | |
And Paloma says that should create
more chances for female-led stories. | 0:19:51 | 0:19:58 | |
What we all want in the industry
is for equality so it's not | 0:19:58 | 0:20:01 | |
a situation where a woman
is being hired | 0:20:01 | 0:20:03 | |
because she's a woman. | 0:20:03 | 0:20:05 | |
Really, parity and equality
comes from opportunity | 0:20:05 | 0:20:09 | |
and equal opportunity and it
being an even playing field. | 0:20:09 | 0:20:11 | |
The last of the dried supplies. | 0:20:11 | 0:20:15 | |

The clothing chain Topman
has apologised for any | 0:20:22 | 0:20:25 | |
offence that was caused,
after criticism that | 0:20:25 | 0:20:27 | |
a T-shirt it had been selling
could be seen to refer | 0:20:27 | 0:20:30 | |
to the Hillsborough disaster. | 0:20:30 | 0:20:31 | |
The red top, which has now been
withdrawn from sale, | 0:20:31 | 0:20:34 | |
has a large 96 on the back
and is being interpreted by some | 0:20:34 | 0:20:37 | |
Liverpool fans as a reference
to the number of people who died | 0:20:37 | 0:20:40 | |
in the 1989 disaster. | 0:20:40 | 0:20:42 | |
Topman say the design was inspired
by a Bob Marley song. | 0:20:42 | 0:20:47 | |
The Royal College of Nursing says
hundreds of nursing students at nine | 0:20:47 | 0:20:50 | |
universities have been hit
with errors in their | 0:20:50 | 0:20:52 | |
student loan payments. | 0:20:52 | 0:20:57 | |
The students were told they'd been
overpaid between £600 and £5,000 | 0:20:57 | 0:21:00 | |
by the Student Loans Company
and to expect no more | 0:21:00 | 0:21:02 | |
payments this year. | 0:21:02 | 0:21:04 | |
Some students say they've been left
struggling to pay bills and rent. | 0:21:04 | 0:21:08 | |
The father of a female engineering
student allegedly attacked | 0:21:08 | 0:21:11 | |
by a group of women in Nottingham
has called for "justice" | 0:21:11 | 0:21:14 | |
for his daughter. | 0:21:14 | 0:21:15 | |
18-year-old Mariam Moustafa died
on Wednesday, nearly a month | 0:21:15 | 0:21:18 | |
after she was assaulted on a bus
in the city centre. | 0:21:18 | 0:21:21 | |
Nottinghamshire Police says
there is nothing to suggest | 0:21:21 | 0:21:23 | |
it was a hate crime,
although they are | 0:21:23 | 0:21:25 | |
"keeping an open mind". | 0:21:25 | 0:21:26 | |
Sima Kotecha sent us
the latest from Nottingham. | 0:21:26 | 0:21:32 | |
18-year-old Mariam Moustafa, an
engineering student in Nottingham. | 0:21:32 | 0:21:35 | |
Her family are from Egypt and came
here for a better life. | 0:21:35 | 0:21:41 | |
Her sister and father
described her as loving, | 0:21:41 | 0:21:43 | |
cheerful and intelligent. | 0:21:43 | 0:21:47 | |
Mariam was always looking
up, looking forward | 0:21:47 | 0:21:48 | |
for being in engineering. | 0:21:48 | 0:21:50 | |
She was a hard worker. | 0:21:50 | 0:21:53 | |
She always put all her effort
to being in engineering. | 0:21:53 | 0:21:58 | |
In February, as the teenager
was making her way to see her mother | 0:21:58 | 0:22:01 | |
and sister, she was attacked. | 0:22:01 | 0:22:03 | |
She caught a bus on this street
to try to get away from the girls. | 0:22:03 | 0:22:07 | |
However, they followed her. | 0:22:07 | 0:22:08 | |
Police say she was
punched several times. | 0:22:08 | 0:22:10 | |
She died on Wednesday. | 0:22:10 | 0:22:16 | |
This footage on social media shows
what happened on the bus. | 0:22:16 | 0:22:19 | |
You move out of my way,
you move out of my way. | 0:22:19 | 0:22:26 | |
Yesterday police said there was no
information at this stage | 0:22:26 | 0:22:28 | |
to suggest it was a hate crime
but that they were | 0:22:28 | 0:22:31 | |
keeping an open mind. | 0:22:31 | 0:22:36 | |
She was discharged from hospital
after the attack but then she fell | 0:22:36 | 0:22:39 | |
ill and was readmitted. | 0:22:39 | 0:22:40 | |
That's when she went into a coma. | 0:22:40 | 0:22:43 | |
The family gave us these pictures. | 0:22:43 | 0:22:49 | |
For me to now think that she's gone,
I still feel like she's around me, | 0:22:49 | 0:22:53 | |
I feel like she's going to come
knocking on the door. | 0:22:53 | 0:22:56 | |
But that's not happening. | 0:22:56 | 0:23:03 | |
The Egyptian government,
as well as her family, | 0:23:05 | 0:23:08 | |
have called on the UK authorities
to bring those who did | 0:23:08 | 0:23:11 | |
this to justice quickly. | 0:23:11 | 0:23:13 | |
A 17-year-old girl was arrested
on suspicion of assault but has been | 0:23:13 | 0:23:16 | |
released on conditional bail. | 0:23:16 | 0:23:19 | |
In a tweet this afternoon,
the Foreign Secretary, | 0:23:19 | 0:23:24 | |
Boris Johnson, assured the Egyptian
authorities that Nottinghamshire | 0:23:24 | 0:23:26 | |
Police was investigating the case. | 0:23:26 | 0:23:29 | |
Sima Kotecha, BBC News, Nottingham. | 0:23:29 | 0:23:35 | |
The first polar bear cub born
in Britain for a quarter | 0:23:35 | 0:23:38 | |
of a century has been filmed
for the first time after | 0:23:38 | 0:23:41 | |
being born in December
in the Scottish Highlands. | 0:23:41 | 0:23:43 | |
As you can see, mum
and cub are doing well. | 0:23:43 | 0:23:48 | |
The footage was captured by remote
cameras for a Channel 4 documentary. | 0:23:48 | 0:23:50 | |
Highland Wildlife Park is yet
to find out if the cub is a boy | 0:23:50 | 0:23:54 | |
or a girl, but it's already proving
to be a confident and | 0:23:54 | 0:23:57 | |
curious little character. | 0:23:57 | 0:24:00 | |
In a thrilling two-horse race
finale, Native River, | 0:24:00 | 0:24:03 | |
ridden by champion jockey
Richard Johnson, has beaten | 0:24:03 | 0:24:05 | |
the favourite, Might Bite,
to win the Gold Cup at Cheltenham. | 0:24:05 | 0:24:08 | |
It's Johnson's second Gold Cup win
and comes nearly two | 0:24:08 | 0:24:10 | |
decades after his first. | 0:24:10 | 0:24:12 | |
Our Sports Correspondent,
Andy Swiss, was there | 0:24:12 | 0:24:14 | |
to see all the action. | 0:24:14 | 0:24:15 | |
Andy. | 0:24:15 | 0:24:19 | |
It was an incredible battle from
start to finish. | 0:24:19 | 0:24:22 | |
Cheltenham has seen some
extraordinary battles over the years | 0:24:26 | 0:24:28 | |
but this was right up there, two
forces leading from start to finish | 0:24:28 | 0:24:32 | |
but in the end the day and the Gold
Cup belongs to Native River. | 0:24:32 | 0:24:40 | |
In racing you need that bit
of optimism and with what seemed | 0:24:40 | 0:24:43 | |
like the most open of Gold Cups... | 0:24:43 | 0:24:45 | |
Any more bets? | 0:24:45 | 0:24:47 | |
Punters certainly required it. | 0:24:47 | 0:24:49 | |
So many factors,
not least the soggy, | 0:24:49 | 0:24:51 | |
stamina-sapping conditions. | 0:24:51 | 0:24:54 | |
But while there were 15
runners, this proved | 0:24:54 | 0:24:56 | |
the ultimate two-horse race. | 0:24:56 | 0:24:59 | |
In the white nose band Native River,
and next to him Might Bite. | 0:24:59 | 0:25:03 | |
The rest mere observers
as fence after fence, | 0:25:03 | 0:25:05 | |
furlong after furlong,
they slugged it out. | 0:25:05 | 0:25:09 | |
Going into the last,
seemingly inseparable... | 0:25:09 | 0:25:11 | |
Who will prevail on
the Cheltenham hill? | 0:25:11 | 0:25:13 | |
Native River and Might Bite... | 0:25:13 | 0:25:16 | |
But on that final, gruelling
gradient it was Native River | 0:25:16 | 0:25:19 | |
who edged ahead, a remarkable duel
and a remarkable victory. | 0:25:19 | 0:25:22 | |
He wins the Gold Cup! | 0:25:22 | 0:25:28 | |
For jockey Richard Johnson,
a second Gold Cup win some 18 | 0:25:28 | 0:25:30 | |
years after his first. | 0:25:30 | 0:25:32 | |
This was even sweeter. | 0:25:32 | 0:25:38 | |
I'm still a bit speechless now. | 0:25:38 | 0:25:40 | |
The first time I don't think
I realised how amazing | 0:25:40 | 0:25:43 | |
it was and how hard it is. | 0:25:43 | 0:25:45 | |
18 years later, you realise just
to get one of these horse to ride, | 0:25:45 | 0:25:48 | |
let alone to win the race,
is very difficult. | 0:25:48 | 0:25:50 | |
And delight too for Dorset
trainer Colin Tizzard - | 0:25:50 | 0:25:53 | |
once a dairy farmer and now part
of a Gold Cup winning team on a day | 0:25:53 | 0:25:57 | |
when leading from the start
produced the perfect finish. | 0:25:57 | 0:25:59 | |
Andy Swiss, BBC News, Cheltenham. | 0:25:59 | 0:26:03 | |
Time for a look at the weather. | 0:26:03 | 0:26:05 | |
Here's Sarah Keith-Lucas. | 0:26:05 | 0:26:09 | |
It has been like a spring day in
London but snow is on the way? | 0:26:09 | 0:26:15 | |
What a contrast tomorrow is going to
be, there has been some spring | 0:26:15 | 0:26:19 | |
sunshine for some, but some snow in
the north but in the south it has | 0:26:19 | 0:26:22 | |
felt pleasant. This was the sunset
in Kent. This is set to be the calm | 0:26:22 | 0:26:30 | |
before the snow because things will
turn more wintry over the weekend, a | 0:26:30 | 0:26:35 | |
dip in temperature with snow and ice
with the Met Office issuing amber | 0:26:35 | 0:26:39 | |
warnings and disruption is likely
because of it. We have some snow | 0:26:39 | 0:26:43 | |
showers already in Scotland, rain
further south in north-east England | 0:26:43 | 0:26:48 | |
but moving through tonight 's those
snow showers fall too low levels and | 0:26:48 | 0:26:52 | |
push further south west. For many it
will be a subzero start of the | 0:26:52 | 0:26:57 | |
weekend, some snow showers from the
word go and we will continue to is | 0:26:57 | 0:27:01 | |
it the cold air coming in. High
pressure in Scandinavia and the | 0:27:01 | 0:27:06 | |
easterly winds rolling around. On
Saturday, snow showers from the word | 0:27:06 | 0:27:12 | |
go across southern England, south
Wales as well and with the easterly | 0:27:12 | 0:27:15 | |
wind a mix of Sunnis above and
scattered snow showers almost | 0:27:15 | 0:27:20 | |
anywhere. Tempered is struggling to
get much above freezing and with the | 0:27:20 | 0:27:24 | |
wind chill it can feel as -8. The
driest weather probably in Northern | 0:27:24 | 0:27:32 | |
Ireland and western Scotland but
elsewhere we could have some heavy | 0:27:32 | 0:27:36 | |
and disrupted snow. These are the
amber warnings for ice and snow, | 0:27:36 | 0:27:41 | |
particularly these three regions,
but you could see some disruptive | 0:27:41 | 0:27:46 | |
snow almost anywhere. Moving into
Sunday, still be easterly wind | 0:27:46 | 0:27:50 | |
bringing further snow showers, some
brighter weather coming in from the | 0:27:50 | 0:27:54 | |
East later. Another very cold day,
particularly when you are exposed to | 0:27:54 | 0:27:59 | |
the biting easterly wind. | 0:27:59 | 0:28:02 | |
A reminder of our main story... | 0:28:02 | 0:28:03 | |
A reminder of our main story... | 0:28:03 | 0:28:04 | |
Police have launched a murder
inquiry into the death | 0:28:04 | 0:28:06 | |
of a Russian businessman,
apparently strangled | 0:28:06 | 0:28:08 | |
in his London home. | 0:28:08 | 0:28:10 | |
That's all from the BBC News at Six
