:01:31. > :01:34.First he was the Special One, then he was the Happy One -
:01:35. > :01:39.Jose Mourhino has been sacked as manager of Chelsea Football Club
:01:40. > :01:41.We don't know whether the club's owner Roman Abramovich has
:01:42. > :01:44.a successor in mind - but officially the search is now on.
:01:45. > :01:46.Chelsea are currently struggling at sixteenth in the Premier League
:01:47. > :01:48.table, one point above the relegation places
:01:49. > :01:51.Let's take a look at the statement Chelsea released about his exit.
:01:52. > :01:54.It confirms that "Chelsea Football Club and Jose Mourinho have today
:01:55. > :01:58.And goes on to add: "Both Jose and the board agreed results have
:01:59. > :02:01.not been good enough this season, and believe it is in the best
:02:02. > :02:04.interests of both parties to go our separate ways.
:02:05. > :02:07.The club also pay tribute to him saying: "Jose leaves us on good
:02:08. > :02:08.terms and will always remain a much-loved,
:02:09. > :02:10.respected and significant figure at Chelsea.".
:02:11. > :02:12.In a moment we'll hear the view from Stamford Bridge,
:02:13. > :02:15.but first our correspondent Andy Swiss has more on the special
:02:16. > :02:26.It is surely one of football's most dramatic down falls, a few months
:02:27. > :02:32.ago, Jose Mourinho, celebrating a Premier League title, the is the
:02:33. > :02:39.Special One, seemed unsackable. But this season, the success turned
:02:40. > :02:44.sour. Calamities, and now the defeat of the Chelsea rein. Defeat, the
:02:45. > :02:47.final straw, with Jose Mourinho saying he felt betrayed by his own
:02:48. > :02:53.team. I have to look at some players, for
:02:54. > :02:59.one more time, in the eyes, to see if they feel Chelsea the same way
:03:00. > :03:04.that I do. If they feel our job the same way that I do. If they feel
:03:05. > :03:10.Chelsea the way that I do, and if they feel being a football
:03:11. > :03:16.professional the same way I do, for sure, some of them they have to
:03:17. > :03:21.react in a different way. Jose Mourinho's problems began in the
:03:22. > :03:26.first match of the season. His outburst at Evo Caneiro, sparking
:03:27. > :03:31.headlines and ultimately legal action. On the pitch things proved
:03:32. > :03:36.as turbulent. Chelsea's worst ever Premier League start, prompting
:03:37. > :03:40.frustration at Jose Mourinho, arguing with the officials. He was
:03:41. > :03:45.banned from the stadium. As the defeats mounted, Jose Mourinho was a
:03:46. > :03:49.man struggling for answers. One reason to be easy to fix, it is
:03:50. > :03:52.not one reason it is a combination of factors.
:03:53. > :03:59.Now the time for explaining has gone. Over two spells, Jose Mourinho
:04:00. > :04:07.turned Roman Abramovich's billions into success for Chelsea but now the
:04:08. > :04:11.rein of one of football's most charismatic and contention figures
:04:12. > :04:16.is finally over. I asked Joe Wilson what was the
:04:17. > :04:19.reaction to the announcement among the Chelsea fans and followers.
:04:20. > :04:23.It is an interesting question. I think as soon as many of us in the
:04:24. > :04:31.media heard Jose Mourinho almost turn on the players after the defeat
:04:32. > :04:36.on Monday night against Leicester stir, we assumed that this was
:04:37. > :04:41.inevitable. We began to wonder why Roman Abramovich was taking his time
:04:42. > :04:50.when he has such a record of hiring and firing some of the world's most
:04:51. > :04:53.famous managers at Chelsea. That, embodies their identity with regards
:04:54. > :04:58.to Jose Mourinho. And talking to people around the ground earlier,
:04:59. > :05:02.there was not universal approval for the decision to sack Jose Mourinho.
:05:03. > :05:06.Let's hear from them now. He has been here too long. At the end of
:05:07. > :05:11.the day he has been a good manager, he has done well, his time is up.
:05:12. > :05:17.Everyone has their time, that is his time. I think that they have treated
:05:18. > :05:22.him badly. The players have a lot to do with it, they should be ashamed
:05:23. > :05:27.of themselves. Shocked. I never saw it coming. If the business managers
:05:28. > :05:35.give him backing, you would expect it to stay that way. In the normal
:05:36. > :05:39.weekly conference that the manager would speak out has been cancelled.
:05:40. > :05:44.That suggests that Chelsea don't have anyone right now to replace
:05:45. > :05:48.him. Obviously there is money from Roman
:05:49. > :05:50.Abramovich but this is a club struggling at the bottom of the
:05:51. > :05:53.Premier League. They are still in the European Champions League. They
:05:54. > :05:59.will have the knock-out game in February. But I think that the fans
:06:00. > :06:04.would be yearning for a long-term strategy, some kind of planning and
:06:05. > :06:08.the manager to put it into effect. Pepe Guardiola would be ideal but
:06:09. > :06:26.the problem with that is that every big club in Europe wants him now.
:06:27. > :06:30.Joining us now is Martin Lipton, sports journalist at The Sun.
:06:31. > :06:38.Is this good news? Well, to lose this man, he has been outstanding.
:06:39. > :06:42.But this has not been working. There were a series of errors made on and
:06:43. > :06:47.off the pitch by Jose Mourinho at the club ever since the end of last
:06:48. > :06:51.season. His working relationship with the squad had become utterly
:06:52. > :06:56.broken to a degree it could not be repaired.
:06:57. > :07:01.So, I wanted to ask you who you think is the likely replacement,
:07:02. > :07:05.looking at what you have been writing, Martin, the name Pepe
:07:06. > :07:10.Guardiola comes up? There is no doubt, what soever if Roman Catholic
:07:11. > :07:15.roam to have his choice, Pepe Guardiola would be the next manager
:07:16. > :07:19.of Chelsea but he does not want to go to Chelsea.
:07:20. > :07:32.They are not going to get him. So where do they go? I suspect day
:07:33. > :07:37.aguow Sivilioni. I suspect an imminent appointment as early as
:07:38. > :07:43.tomorrow, I suspect it could be Guus Hiddink, he took over from call ary
:07:44. > :07:48.in 2009 and took Chelsea to the FA Cup final, with a victory there and
:07:49. > :07:52.the Champions League semi-final. What about Jose Mourinho himself?
:07:53. > :07:59.Presumably he is now waiting for job offers? And they will come. Do not
:08:00. > :08:02.worry. Real Madrid are looking for a new manager at the end of the
:08:03. > :08:10.season. Rafael Benitez will not last. PSG, they need a new manager.
:08:11. > :08:17.Manchester United may decide to get rid of Luis van Gaal. Jose Mourinho
:08:18. > :08:22.is an observe candidate. Manchester City, were they not to get Guardiola
:08:23. > :08:25.perhaps may go there. And other clubs, don't worry, he will not be
:08:26. > :08:40.short of offers. Thank you very much.
:08:41. > :08:43.The reaction to this story on social media has been quite big -
:08:44. > :08:45.as you can imagine - Mourinho is trending worldwide
:08:46. > :08:47.on twitter and some players have commenting as well.
:08:48. > :08:49.Former Portraguese international player Luis Figo has tweeted
:08:50. > :09:00."All the best to my good friend Jose Mourinho,
:09:01. > :09:02.And Finally, Jan Aage Fjortoft - who is a former Middlesbrough
:09:03. > :09:08.You might remember the name Martin Shkreli from a few months ago
:09:09. > :09:11.- he's the young pharmaceutical entrepreneur who sparked outrage
:09:12. > :09:12.by ordering steep hikes in prescription drug prices,
:09:13. > :09:14.including one life-saving treatment that went up
:09:15. > :09:18.Here he is at the time justifying the decision which made him
:09:19. > :09:44.We are simply charging the right price that the markets have missed
:09:45. > :09:46.and we are doing something good with the profits, putting them in the
:09:47. > :09:51.patient's hands. Well now the the 32-year old has
:09:52. > :09:54.been arrested on charges which don't related to that drug
:09:55. > :09:57.or the current company he runs, but to two businesses
:09:58. > :09:59.he was previously involved in. An FBI federal investigation claims
:10:00. > :10:01.that he was involved in a multi-million
:10:02. > :10:02.dollar fraud operation. From Washington Jane Obrien told
:10:03. > :10:15.more about the allegations. Shkreli ran his companies like a
:10:16. > :10:19.Ponzi scheme. Where he used the subsequent companies to pay off
:10:20. > :10:24.other companies. So looking to my right and to the left he started out
:10:25. > :10:35.with a hedge fund in 2009 called MSM B Capital. He took in $3 million
:10:36. > :10:42.from investors, based on lies, about his prior performance, about his
:10:43. > :10:50.portfolios, and management funds. We were told about the background to
:10:51. > :10:55.the case. This morning, Shkreli was wearing a
:10:56. > :11:00.hoodie. Concealing the person as he himself described as the world's
:11:01. > :11:05.most eligible batch lower. Now he faces trial.
:11:06. > :11:11.That drug that leapt 5,000%, did it come down? There was global outrage
:11:12. > :11:14.about that? There was. Even the presidential candidates for the 2013
:11:15. > :11:19.election campaign started to talk about it, to say that there should
:11:20. > :11:23.abcap on pharmaceutical companies doing this sort of thing. Shkreli
:11:24. > :11:27.said that the price would be brought down but it was not a couple of
:11:28. > :11:31.weeks ago, it was announced that they would reduce the charge to
:11:32. > :11:36.hospitals. But patients could still end up when they leave hospital
:11:37. > :11:44.paying the full price and if they don't insurance companies have to
:11:45. > :11:47.foot the bill. So the company itself is still being looked into and
:11:48. > :12:01.someone else is paying the price for the drugs.
:12:02. > :12:03.A French court has ordered Christine Lagarde, the head
:12:04. > :12:06.of the International Monetary Fund, to face trial over her role
:12:07. > :12:09.in a pay-out of some 434 million dollars to businessman Bernard
:12:10. > :12:13.She was France's finance minister when the big pay-out was ordered --
:12:14. > :12:16.as compensation for the sale of a firm which he believed had been
:12:17. > :12:21.We can get more from our correspondent in Paris. Hugh, tell
:12:22. > :12:24.us more about what has been her role here? Right it is a complicated
:12:25. > :12:30.story that goes back to the early 1990s, when Bernard Tapi, a famous
:12:31. > :12:37.business person sold Adidas, the sports company. He thought he was
:12:38. > :12:41.defrauded in the sale. It was sold to the bank. So the liabilities
:12:42. > :12:48.ended up being the state's. He took the state to court over many, many
:12:49. > :12:49.years. Then in 2007, 2008 when Christine Lagarde was the Finance
:12:50. > :12:53.Minister, she decided Christine Lagarde was the Finance
:12:54. > :12:58.enough, to put it to arbitration. To put it to private arbitration and
:12:59. > :13:03.this would be a neutral way of settling the dispute. But the
:13:04. > :13:10.problem was that the arbitrators ended up with a generous settlement
:13:11. > :13:14.to Mr Tapi. 400 million euros, there was suspicions that all was not
:13:15. > :13:18.right. Christine Lagarde is not acuesed of being party to a
:13:19. > :13:22.stitch-up but she is accused of negligence. That the allegations is
:13:23. > :13:27.that she should as the Finance Minister have been more diligent in
:13:28. > :13:32.monitoring this and when the pay-out was so big in reviewing it and
:13:33. > :13:37.appealing against it. She did not. She says she wanted the whole thing
:13:38. > :13:42.over and it saved the state money in the long run by doing so. But it has
:13:43. > :13:53.dogged her. And now, after the last few years, the court, the special
:13:54. > :13:57.which tries former mshs so she may have to stand trial.
:13:58. > :14:03.In short it certainly is. I don't foresee this as rocking her
:14:04. > :14:08.presidency vote. She does have the possibility of running for a second
:14:09. > :14:13.term from when this ends next year. And this trial if it comes to pass,
:14:14. > :14:15.as she will appeal against the fact of having a trial would complicate
:14:16. > :14:33.that second term. France and Germany have
:14:34. > :14:35.thrown their weight behind proposals for a European border guard force
:14:36. > :14:38.with powers to intervene in EU member states struggling
:14:39. > :14:39.to regulate migration. At an end-of-year summit
:14:40. > :14:41.in Brussels, the German chancellor Angela Merkel said she strongly
:14:42. > :14:44.supported the plan by The French President,
:14:45. > :14:47.Francois Hollande, said he agreed The measure would primarily affect
:14:48. > :14:50.Greece and Italy, the point An EU report said Turkey had
:14:51. > :14:53.made little progress In a further sign of
:14:54. > :14:56.thawing US-Cuba relations, the American State Department says
:14:57. > :14:59.that an agreement has been reached to open up commercial aviation
:15:00. > :15:01.between the two countries. Officials say that the deal calls
:15:02. > :15:04.for 110 round trips to the island The news comes a year after plans
:15:05. > :15:08.to restore relations Speaking on the anniversary,
:15:09. > :15:11.President Obama said that the U.S. Still has differences with Cuba,
:15:12. > :15:13.including on human rights, But he said that change
:15:14. > :15:17.doesn't happen overnight. A temporary ban on the Facebook

:15:20. > :15:23.a judge's decision to suspend it for forty-eight hours
:15:24. > :15:25.across the country, Almost all cancers are caused
:15:26. > :15:28.by environmental factors and lifestyle choices -
:15:29. > :15:30.like smoking and drinking too much alcohol - that's according
:15:31. > :15:32.to the latest research But the new study is at odds
:15:33. > :15:36.with a report earlier this year which indicated that most cancers
:15:37. > :15:39.were down to bad luck and the result Our medical correspondent
:15:40. > :15:45.Fergus Walsh reports. There are choices we can all make to
:15:46. > :15:51.cut our risk of cancer. Most importantly not smoking. Having a
:15:52. > :15:55.balanced diet, and not getting obese, and protecting our skin from
:15:56. > :15:58.sun damage. But what proportion of cancers are really down to
:15:59. > :16:10.lifestyle, or just random chance events? The biggest cancer killer of
:16:11. > :16:13.women in the UK is lung cancer. Victoria Hurd lost her mum to the
:16:14. > :16:17.disease last year. As with most cases she had been a committed
:16:18. > :16:21.smoker. It's the second Christmas without my
:16:22. > :16:25.mum. It is devastating to know that my little boy will not really
:16:26. > :16:30.remember my mum when he grows up. When I look at young women smoking,
:16:31. > :16:33.I think that they are absolutely crazy, they will pay the price 30
:16:34. > :16:37.years down the line. They possibly could get lung cancer.
:16:38. > :16:42.Every family in the UK has been touched by cancer. There are 2. 5
:16:43. > :16:48.million people in the UK, living with a cancer diagnosis. When it
:16:49. > :16:51.comes to bad luck or lifestyle, researchers in New York
:16:52. > :16:57.mathematically modelled cancer incidents and conclude that between
:16:58. > :17:04.70 and 90% of the cases are the result of environmental factors and
:17:05. > :17:07.just 10 to 30% down to bad luck. That contradicts other US research
:17:08. > :17:13.from January which claim that two thirds of cancers were random.
:17:14. > :17:17.The latest research teams say that an unhealthy lifestyle is like
:17:18. > :17:20.playing Russian roulette with your health.
:17:21. > :17:27.There is an element of luck whether a person gets cancer or not. But if
:17:28. > :17:31.someone smokes or is exposed to other external factors, that is like
:17:32. > :17:36.adding two or three more bullets to the gun. So there is still an
:17:37. > :17:40.element of luck but the odds are stacked against that person.
:17:41. > :17:45.Old age is the biggest risk factor for cancer. While we cannot hold
:17:46. > :17:47.back time, a healthy lifestyle will lower our odds of getting cancer.
:17:48. > :18:01.And a host of other diseases. When it comes to public angry
:18:02. > :18:03.denunciations there are few better And when it comes to Turkey,
:18:04. > :18:07.Russia's President, Vladimir Putin, In his marathon annual end
:18:08. > :18:10.of year news conference, the Russian leader used crude
:18:11. > :18:13.language to describe the shooting down of a Russian jet over
:18:14. > :18:15.the Turkish-Syrian border. The event was not held
:18:16. > :18:17.at the Kremlin, but at Moscow's World Trade Centre
:18:18. > :18:19.because it's one of few places in the Russian capital
:18:20. > :18:37.which could accommodate the 1400 Vladimir Putin's end of year news
:18:38. > :18:41.conference is a marathon event with hours of carefully vetted questions.
:18:42. > :18:47.The President, who has ruled Russia for 15 years, often uses it to speak
:18:48. > :18:51.out about international disputes. There is no more pressing issue than
:18:52. > :18:56.this, the crisis sparked by the shooting down of a Russian fighter
:18:57. > :19:01.bomber last month by Turkey. A member of NATO. Today, Vladimir
:19:02. > :19:05.Putin made it clear that the crisis would not end until there were new
:19:06. > :19:10.leaders in Turkey. TRANSLATION: I think that the
:19:11. > :19:14.actions of the Turkish government against our planes is not a
:19:15. > :19:22.friendly, it is an enemy act. Our people have died. We are really
:19:23. > :19:27.enraged by the fact if it was really an accident, as Turkish government
:19:28. > :19:33.claims that they did not know it was a Russian plane, what happened? Did
:19:34. > :19:37.they pick up the phone to explain? The President went tonne use crude
:19:38. > :19:42.language to criticise Turkey's close relationship with the United States.
:19:43. > :19:45.And yet relations between Vladimir Putin and the United States seem a
:19:46. > :19:50.little better at the moment, at least over the attempt to push
:19:51. > :19:54.forward with a peace process for Syria.
:19:55. > :19:59.TRANSLATION: I spoke with John Kerry, our position is unchanged, it
:20:00. > :20:01.is a principle position. The Syrian people must decide who will rule
:20:02. > :20:07.them. people must decide who will rule
:20:08. > :20:14.By which standards, and in general, and an important thing, with
:20:15. > :20:19.support, with the initiative of the United States namely to increase the
:20:20. > :20:23.efforts of the United Nations. By the end of this marathon news
:20:24. > :20:27.conference, Vladimir Putin stressed how Russia and the United States
:20:28. > :20:31.agreed on the need for a new constitution for Syria and the need
:20:32. > :20:37.to find ways to oversee future elections there. Tomorrow Russia
:20:38. > :20:41.will support a draft UN resolution endorsing the Syrian peace process.
:20:42. > :20:44.How does an artist follow a world-wide mega-hit?
:20:45. > :20:47.Back in 2012, the Korean singer Psy produced and starred in a video
:20:48. > :20:52.It's now been viewed on the internet nearly two and a half billion times.
:20:53. > :21:05.Steve Evans has been talking to Psy about his new release.
:21:06. > :21:14.# Gangnam Style # Gangnam Style. Gangnam Style is
:21:15. > :21:19.the most watched video ever, with at least 2 billion hits. It was slick,
:21:20. > :21:26.catchy and immensely popular around the work. I met Psy to discuss it.
:21:27. > :21:31.He said that the success had been a dream and a nightmare.
:21:32. > :21:39.Honestly, I didn't even dream about being global something... Or being
:21:40. > :21:44.recognised by so many countries, or working with so many artists all
:21:45. > :21:50.over the world. But at the same time, what I meant by nightmare was,
:21:51. > :21:57.OK, if this party is over, I got to release a new one. How can I top
:21:58. > :22:03.this? That was the nightmare. Gangnam Style is a trophy in my
:22:04. > :22:07.life. So, let's say, if we are getting a trophy from somewhere, we
:22:08. > :22:13.are just putting it in a great place in my house in the livingroom and
:22:14. > :22:15.every time we see it we are happy, right. That is my trophy and then
:22:16. > :22:18.move on. right. That is my trophy and then

:22:53. > :22:58.beautiful body, she said from her mama. One day, I thought about the
:22:59. > :23:04.beautiful body, if ladies are asking me where I get the body from, I say
:23:05. > :23:15.I got it from my daddy. So I thought I could make a video, a favourite,
:23:16. > :23:21.Austin Powers, we have Dr Evil and Mini Me, right? So I thought I
:23:22. > :23:25.wanted to shoot the really weird daddy and son.
:23:26. > :23:29.Gangnam Style was amazingly successful, how do you keep your
:23:30. > :23:37.feet on the ground after that kind of success? You seem like a regular
:23:38. > :23:44.guy. How do you keep your sense? Thank you for saying that, that is
:23:45. > :23:54.my private agenda, to try to live as a normal person, as a citizen. As

:24:03. > :24:09.kind of a job, that's what I'm thinking. So when I stepped down
:24:10. > :24:18.from the stage, or when I'm not working with my job, I really try
:24:19. > :24:25.hard to live as a normal guy. With that recognition issue, outside of
:24:26. > :24:29.Korea, it is really easy. The only thing I have to do is take off my
:24:30. > :24:34.sunglasses and no-one is recognising me, so it is fine!
:24:35. > :24:36.Imagine you're faced with having brain surgery -
:24:37. > :24:39.the last thing you might want to do is put on a musical performance

:24:57. > :24:58.The unusual musical surgery, which took place two months ago,
:24:59. > :25:00.was orchestrated to minimize any damage to Carlos's musical ability.
:25:01. > :25:03.The 27 year old has now spoken about how relaxed he felt
:25:04. > :25:30.It felt like lying on a beach. I could not imagine it until later
:25:31. > :25:34.when I saw the videos. Two months ago, I was laying on a
:25:35. > :25:45.hospital bed. Now it is like I was born again.
:25:46. > :25:47.What an incredible man and an incredible team of doctors as well.
:25:48. > :25:51.Well just in case you didn't recognise the tune -
:25:52. > :26:02.That's all from the programme. I'm Philippa Thomas, thank you very much
