:00:10. > :00:12.This is BBC World News Today, broadcasting in the UK

:00:13. > :00:15.Police in Cologne use water cannon against right-wing activists,

:00:16. > :00:18.protesting against migrants following a wave of crime

:00:19. > :00:22.A convoy due to deliver aid to thousands trapped in the Syrian

:00:23. > :00:33.Back behind bars - one of Mexico's most notorious drug

:00:34. > :00:38.barons is recaptured after six months on the run.

:00:39. > :00:41.We meet the woman who's recreated a ground-breaking journey -

:00:42. > :01:02.half way around the world in this vintage biplane.

:01:03. > :01:05.Police in the German city of Cologne have fired tear gas and water cannon

:01:06. > :01:07.to disperse supporters of the far-right Pegida movement.

:01:08. > :01:09.The protest was organised following a wave

:01:10. > :01:13.of attacks carried out in the city on New Year's Eve by gangs of men -

:01:14. > :01:18.Pegida opposes Germany's open-door policy for refugees and had

:01:19. > :01:22.organised this rally near Cologne's main railway station.

:01:23. > :01:24.But it was faced by a much larger counter demonstration.

:01:25. > :01:31.Our correspondent Anna Holligan was there.

:01:32. > :01:37.Dramatic scenes as they please try to contain these protesters, it was

:01:38. > :01:43.very tense, things have quietened down bow, here in Cologne. The riot

:01:44. > :01:50.police have contained the hundreds of right wing the Guido Pella test

:01:51. > :01:56.is inside Cologne station -- right wing Pegida protesters. They have

:01:57. > :02:03.now been dispersed onto the platforms and they are the input

:02:04. > :02:09.onto trains out of here. -- they are being put onto trains. There are

:02:10. > :02:13.police dog said. This is an effort to make sure that there is no more

:02:14. > :02:17.violence following those attacks on New Year's Eve -- there are police

:02:18. > :02:20.dogs here. The police faced huge amounts of criticism for their

:02:21. > :02:24.failure to protect the women who work here and who were assaulted --

:02:25. > :02:25.who were. Melanie Dittmer is a Pegida activist

:02:26. > :02:41.who took part in the rally today - We were demonstrating on the street.

:02:42. > :02:53.For the rights of German women on the streets. The police then started

:02:54. > :02:59.to riot. They gave us some water. It was a very bad situation for us, the

:03:00. > :03:07.demonstration stopped and we had to go back to the station and now the

:03:08. > :03:13.event is over. Many people were getting hurt by the police they also

:03:14. > :03:21.kicked old people on the ground. They had to gas in their eyes. The

:03:22. > :03:28.group separated -- they had to gas. We were not in front of the

:03:29. > :03:34.left-wing activists, but the police stopped the demonstration illegally.

:03:35. > :03:38.We had a big problem today on the street. It is not democracy in

:03:39. > :03:41.Germany. It is a policy. Aid agencies now say they expect

:03:42. > :03:44.to start delivering food and medicine to a handful

:03:45. > :03:47.of besieged Syrian towns and villages on Monday,

:03:48. > :03:49.a day later than first hoped. They include Madaya -

:03:50. > :03:55.a rebel-held town near the Lebanese border, where 40,000

:03:56. > :03:56.people are trapped - and where there have been reports

:03:57. > :03:59.of people starving to death. The International Red Cross

:04:00. > :04:02.and the UN World Food Programme are preparing convoys with enough

:04:03. > :04:04.supplies to last a month. Jim Muir's been monitoring

:04:05. > :04:15.developments from the Lebanese It is always a tricky business,

:04:16. > :04:18.because when you take in aid in these conditions you have to cross

:04:19. > :04:22.battle lines which have been there for months and people have been

:04:23. > :04:25.killed on both sides and it's a tough thing to negotiate, and there

:04:26. > :04:29.are different factions on the ground. Not just the government

:04:30. > :04:37.against one scene, there is a group of different factions and the rebel

:04:38. > :04:42.side and on the government side, and so it needs everybody to say yes,

:04:43. > :04:45.not just at a political level, but all the way down the chain of

:04:46. > :04:49.command to individual groups and adjust individual people on the

:04:50. > :04:52.ground. Everybody has got to be in accord for this to happen, because

:04:53. > :04:55.you cannot put the lives of aid workers and relief workers at risk

:04:56. > :05:01.why throwing them into an unknown situation, so there is a lot of

:05:02. > :05:05.negotiating and many lines have to be cleared. It seems there might

:05:06. > :05:13.have been an insistence that rather than the delivery to Madaya going

:05:14. > :05:16.ahead on Sunday as planned followed by a delivery to the two government

:05:17. > :05:20.held villages on Monday, there might have been an insistence that that

:05:21. > :05:28.should happen simultaneously and that is in effect what will happen

:05:29. > :05:30.if they go ahead on Monday which seems to be the plan.

:05:31. > :05:33.Ammar Ghanem is a Syrian-American doctor who grew up in

:05:34. > :05:36.He's been in regular contact with friends and family trapped

:05:37. > :05:40.there - and he joins us now from Indiana.

:05:41. > :05:48.What are friends and family telling you about the conditions in Madaya?

:05:49. > :05:53.The conditions are miserable and they are telling us that whatever

:05:54. > :05:58.they are describing, it will be hard for us to imagine the situation.

:05:59. > :06:03.They need food to eat, the children have no milk, no drink, and the

:06:04. > :06:09.situation is miserable, and people are starting to eat grass and leaves

:06:10. > :06:15.and eating cat meat and dog meat, the situation is measurable. The aid

:06:16. > :06:19.convoys are not going to go into day as first type, they will go in on

:06:20. > :06:26.Monday, but that will not come as good news to the people there. I

:06:27. > :06:32.don't know where the delay is coming from. We want everybody to be safe,

:06:33. > :06:38.and we know the roads have got to be clear. Madaya is on the border

:06:39. > :06:43.between Lebanon and Syria, and that area is fully controlled by the

:06:44. > :06:52.regime, and so there is only one side controlling that area. It is 30

:06:53. > :06:55.miles from Madaya to the Lebanese border, and every day we are seeing

:06:56. > :07:01.more deaths and more suffering for the people there. A small charity

:07:02. > :07:05.was able to get into Madaya, distributing small amounts of food,

:07:06. > :07:09.why has it taken so long for the big aid organisations to get into

:07:10. > :07:16.Madaya? That is what I don't understand. This is not a new issue,

:07:17. > :07:20.it has been like this for the last six months, and I don't know where

:07:21. > :07:28.the delay is coming from. The other thing we worry about, the

:07:29. > :07:33.possibility of deliveries without a long-term solution, we are asking to

:07:34. > :07:38.lift the siege completely, and we are asking them to allow

:07:39. > :07:45.humanitarian aid and medicine and we are asking for freedom for people to

:07:46. > :07:49.move in and out, and we are aware that they are lacking any medical

:07:50. > :07:56.care to give them the care they need. We want a solution long-term,

:07:57. > :08:05.not just Madaya, there are many other suffering areas. A suburb of

:08:06. > :08:16.Damascus, there are many other areas of Syria. We are counting on the

:08:17. > :08:21.international humanity. Thanks for joining us.

:08:22. > :08:25.Six months after he escaped from a maximum security prison,

:08:26. > :08:27.the notorious Mexican drug lord Joaquin Guzman -

:08:28. > :08:34.known as "El Chapo" or "Shorty" has been recaptured.

:08:35. > :08:36.But he's already escaped Mexican authorities twice.

:08:37. > :08:38.So unsurprisingly there are questions about how they'll keep

:08:39. > :08:41.El Chapo in their grasp this time - with speculation over possible

:08:42. > :08:56.This will be a hot political potato, because this is the biggest and most

:08:57. > :08:58.notorious criminal in Mexico and there will be an issue of

:08:59. > :09:05.sovereignty, and they might want to try him in Mexico. The US requested

:09:06. > :09:08.extradition for him to and half weeks before he disappeared last

:09:09. > :09:11.July, and they might be keeping up the efforts to extradite him once

:09:12. > :09:19.again, given that he faces charges in the US. The issue comes down to

:09:20. > :09:24.security, he has disappeared from a high security prison, two different

:09:25. > :09:27.ones, and last night he went back to the high security prison which she

:09:28. > :09:32.disappeared from last alike, there are limited places where he can go

:09:33. > :09:39.-- which he disappeared from last year. Given that he has escaped

:09:40. > :09:41.before, what measures are being put in place so that the Mexican

:09:42. > :09:49.authorities are not embarrassed again? Nobody has come forth to say

:09:50. > :09:53.what extra measures, and ultimately he escaped from the top security

:09:54. > :09:58.prison which is just outside Mexico City, he was in a secure wing, as

:09:59. > :10:03.well. The issue is not so much about the security, but the collaboration

:10:04. > :10:09.with people inside. Many people left and moved on, when he escaped last

:10:10. > :10:14.July, and so the hope is the new people will be less corrupt, that is

:10:15. > :10:18.the issue. Last alike, the government look stupid at best an

:10:19. > :10:22.institutionally corrupt at worst, and very few people believe that he

:10:23. > :10:26.could have built a tunnel a mile long without inside help and without

:10:27. > :10:30.anybody knowing, and so the issue is the security within the jail, making

:10:31. > :10:36.sure the people looking after him are on the side of the authorities

:10:37. > :10:39.as opposed to on the side of Joaquin Guzman.

:10:40. > :10:42.Tens of thousands of people in Poland have taken part in rallies

:10:43. > :10:44.across 19 cities in protest against the new right-wing

:10:45. > :10:46.government's moves to take control of public broadcasting.

:10:47. > :10:49.A new law allowed the government to install new management teams

:10:50. > :10:51.on Friday in the public TV and radio companies.

:10:52. > :10:53.The reform has raised concern in Brussels

:10:54. > :10:56.and the European Commission is to debate the rule of law

:10:57. > :11:19.In Warsaw, 7000 -- several thousand people gathered, shouting freedom of

:11:20. > :11:24.speech, and there were many other rallies across the country, some

:11:25. > :11:27.were waving flags in response to the government's Eurosceptic stance, and

:11:28. > :11:29.many are worried that the public television bubble gum a mouthpiece

:11:30. > :11:38.for the government's right wing views. -- public television will

:11:39. > :11:46.become a mouthpiece. TRANSLATION: We are worried about half-truths and

:11:47. > :11:49.distorted stories and so on. The government has justified the move,

:11:50. > :11:54.saying the public media was biased against it, and the Foreign Minister

:11:55. > :11:57.said the broadcasters had been promoting leftist values, such as

:11:58. > :12:04.cycling, vegetarianism and renewable energy. The governing Law and

:12:05. > :12:07.Justice party says it won a mandate for rapid reform in the recent

:12:08. > :12:10.elections, and it has moved swiftly to increase its control of state

:12:11. > :12:16.institutions including the civil service. It has neutralised the

:12:17. > :12:19.Constitutional Court to strike down legislation, and those reforms have

:12:20. > :12:23.brought tens of thousands of people onto the streets on three occasions

:12:24. > :12:27.in the past month. It has caused concern in Brussels, as well.

:12:28. > :12:30.European Commission is starting a review of the rule of law in Poland,

:12:31. > :12:39.which in theory at least could lead to sanctions.

:12:40. > :12:43.Stay with us on BBC News, still to come:

:12:44. > :12:46.Fighting for equal pay - why it's male models who find

:12:47. > :12:52.themselves at a disadvantage in the fashion industry.

:12:53. > :12:55.Police in Ghana have arrested the boyfriend of former TV actress

:12:56. > :12:59.Her body was found at their family home in on Tuesday, along

:13:00. > :13:15.These are said to be pictures showing the arrest of Arthur

:13:16. > :13:17.Simpson-Kent in a southern city in Ghana.

:13:18. > :13:20.Scotland Yard would only say that they been made aware

:13:21. > :13:22.of an arrest but could not discuss it further.

:13:23. > :13:28.The bodies of Sian Blake and her two children were found

:13:29. > :13:31.buried in her back garden in south east London after police sniffer

:13:32. > :13:35.Police said all three had died as a result of head

:13:36. > :13:39.43-year-old Sian Blake had appeared in over 50 episodes of Eastenders

:13:40. > :13:51.Eight year old Zachary was the son of her former partner,

:13:52. > :14:01.Arthur Simpson-Kent, so was Amon, on the right.

:14:02. > :14:05.Police in Cologne have fired water canon, as rival groups stage

:14:06. > :14:09.protests over a wave of sex attacks and robberies on New Year's Eve.

:14:10. > :14:12.Aid agencies are preparing to deliver food supplies

:14:13. > :14:20.to the besieged Syrian town of Madaya on Monday.

:14:21. > :14:23.At least three foreign tourists have been injured by suspected militants

:14:24. > :14:26.at a hotel in the Egyptian Red Sea resort of Hurghada.

:14:27. > :14:28.It's the second attack on holidaymakers in Egypt

:14:29. > :14:31.Last October, a plane carrying Russian tourists exploded over

:14:32. > :14:36.Egypt's interior ministry says one of the attackers was shot

:14:37. > :14:39.dead by police at the Bella Vista hotel in Hurghada.

:14:40. > :14:43.Two Austrian guests and a Swedish national were among those

:14:44. > :14:58.The BBC's James Reynolds reports from Hurghada.

:14:59. > :15:01.These are the moments after the attack at the Bella Vista

:15:02. > :15:04.Two men, each carrying knives, stormed into the hotel restaurant

:15:05. > :15:10.and began attacking tourists at their tables.

:15:11. > :15:13.This 27 year old man from Gothenberg told me

:15:14. > :15:31.that he was stabbed in front of his father.

:15:32. > :15:35.All of a sudden I can feel a man coming here and he is stabbing me

:15:36. > :15:39.here, and I think he was aiming for my heart, but I put my hands up

:15:40. > :15:45.so then he sliced me here on the left side of the neck.

:15:46. > :15:48.I stand up and I'm in shock, so they yelled to us,

:15:49. > :15:54.The attackers made it into the hotel lobby.

:15:55. > :15:57.Minutes later security forces arrived and shot them.

:15:58. > :16:08.This is the black Isis flag the assailants had with them.

:16:09. > :16:10.Inside the restaurant, Sammie was left lying on the ground.

:16:11. > :16:19.It is bleeding so much, so I'm thinking, I am going to die.

:16:20. > :16:24.To the relief of his father, a passer-by drove him to hospital.

:16:25. > :16:27.Sammie is now almost well enough to go back to Sweden.

:16:28. > :16:37.He says that he will visit Egypt again.

:16:38. > :16:39.After three months, 23 countries, and 13,000 miles,

:16:40. > :16:42.a British pilot has landed in Sydney completing her journey from Britain

:16:43. > :16:49.Tracey Curtis-Taylor was recreating the route taken by Amy Johnson,

:16:50. > :16:57.the first woman to do the trip solo back in 1930.

:16:58. > :16:59.Our Sydney Correspondent Jon Donnison was there when

:17:00. > :17:09.The end of an aviation and see, half a world away, Tracey Curtis-Taylor,

:17:10. > :17:14.self-declared bird in a biplane, back on terra firma -- aviation

:17:15. > :17:19.odyssey. Articles include confidence, her first priority, a

:17:20. > :17:28.drink -- after crossing three continents. I cannot believe this,

:17:29. > :17:33.they said I was in parallel with a Boeing, and Air France, I thought,

:17:34. > :17:37.awesome. In three months of flying, she covered more than 14,000 miles,

:17:38. > :17:45.took in 23 countries and had to stop to refuel 50 times. She literally

:17:46. > :17:51.saw the world, from the dead Sea in the Middle East, to the temples of

:17:52. > :17:58.Asia. Tracey Tim on was emulating one of her heroines, it was 19 gait

:17:59. > :18:04.1930 when Amy Johnson became the first woman to fly solo from the UK

:18:05. > :18:09.to Australia -- Tracey Curtis-Taylor. The plane was not

:18:10. > :18:16.dissimilar to one of those used years ago, this was built in 1942,

:18:17. > :18:22.300 horsepower, and a cruising speed of just 90 mph, open cockpit and

:18:23. > :18:30.stayed with the old stick and rather. -- steered. It will soon be

:18:31. > :18:31.taking to this guy again, Tracey plans to fly across the United

:18:32. > :18:42.States -- to the skies again. And now we have all the sport. We

:18:43. > :18:46.will start with the third round of the FA Cup, the only non-league side

:18:47. > :18:51.left in the competition made it into the fourth round, Eastleigh earned

:18:52. > :18:58.themselves a replay after they drew 1-1 with Bolton. Wycombe Wanderers

:18:59. > :19:03.drew 1-1 with Premier League opponents Aston Villa. If we had one

:19:04. > :19:07.we would be in the next round, but the performance outweighed that,

:19:08. > :19:12.even getting that goal, they deserved to be in the hat and we are

:19:13. > :19:18.there as a team -- if we had won. Credit to them, at the end, we are

:19:19. > :19:24.in the conference, they are in the Championship, three divisions above

:19:25. > :19:31.are scum and they showed that, -- three divisions above, and they

:19:32. > :19:35.showed that. Tactics don't win this, it is personnel and desire and heart

:19:36. > :19:39.and the culture of being a Wycombe Wanderers player, nothing was left

:19:40. > :19:47.on the bench, it was a thoroughly deserved draw, I thought. It was a

:19:48. > :19:52.good day for some of the big teams, as well, defending holders Arsenal

:19:53. > :20:03.beat Sunderland. Manchester United, far from their

:20:04. > :20:09.beds, still managed to make it through, beating Sheffield United --

:20:10. > :20:14.best. We could have played better, especially in the first half,

:20:15. > :20:20.because I don't think that we have moved the ball very quickly and you

:20:21. > :20:26.need that when you play against an organisation with ten players behind

:20:27. > :20:30.the ball. We did not do that. A few surprise results in the fourth round

:20:31. > :20:36.of the Scottish cup, the big shock Annan Athletic from League 2

:20:37. > :20:52.knocking out premiership opponents Hamilton 4-1.

:20:53. > :20:58.Motherwell were comfortable winners over Cove Rangers from the Highland

:20:59. > :21:09.League. Singer Dean Zidane has taken charge

:21:10. > :21:19.of his first match since being appointed the first-team coach at

:21:20. > :21:25.Real Madrid and he has overseen a comfortable victory, largely thanks

:21:26. > :21:31.to a Gareth Bale hat-trick. That result leaves them in third place in

:21:32. > :21:34.La Liga. European Rugby Championship cup matches postponed after the

:21:35. > :21:40.Paris attacks are being held this weekend with two in the French

:21:41. > :21:46.capital. Glasgow were well beaten by Racing 92 two, and in the other

:21:47. > :21:53.game, Stade Francais welcomed monster and the home side were

:21:54. > :22:00.victorious. -- monster. There was last-minute drama in the match

:22:01. > :22:06.involving Leicester and Northampton, the home side just edging it.

:22:07. > :22:11.Saracens are still top, even though they lost, and Exeter, in second,

:22:12. > :22:15.won. Mo Farah has failed to win his first race of the year, he was

:22:16. > :22:22.competing over eight kilometres in Edinburgh. It was a cross-country

:22:23. > :22:30.event. He finished second behind the American Gareth Heath. Mo Farah was

:22:31. > :22:34.hampered by the deep mud. That is all the sport for now.

:22:35. > :22:37.It's not unusual to hear calls for the gender pay gap to be closed,

:22:38. > :22:40.but it's normally women who are getting less money than men.

:22:41. > :22:44.But in the British fashion industry - female models can often earn

:22:45. > :22:49.double the amount that male models do.

:22:50. > :22:55.When it comes to the talk about equal pay in the workplace, it is

:22:56. > :23:03.normally about women being paid less than a man. But in the world of

:23:04. > :23:12.fashion, the very opposite is true. I think it will take people standing

:23:13. > :23:19.up to say the rates are different, but the men are doing the same

:23:20. > :23:23.thing, to do these shoots, although the men do not take as long to get

:23:24. > :23:29.ready, but the models will be called to the shoot at the same time and it

:23:30. > :23:32.will be the same usage for the male model and the female model so there

:23:33. > :23:36.is no reason why it they should be paid less. Female models entering

:23:37. > :23:42.the industry can make more than double what a male model can. Mason

:23:43. > :23:49.has just been modelling for a year, and he has found this out. Some of

:23:50. > :23:55.those I've spoken to have been annoyed about it, but the majority

:23:56. > :23:58.have been, we get this much, and we say, we only get this much were
